Snowed In! Winter Hits Off-Grid Cabin in the Woods

[@Vanwives]

Soo what do y’all think - do we need CHAINS for the tractor or what? 👀 We are sending merch from our cabin to you! (No purchase necessary) to be included- leave some love in the comments 💛 happy holidays to all- thank you so much for being here on this journey with us each Sunday. See you all in the NEW year… lots of love Crystal, Jazmyn, Bella and Izzy xx

Yes. Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2024 to you all! 🎄🎁🎊

[@BigPotatoChill]

I would run studs on the front and chains on the back. And don't forget that backhoe, would have had you unstuck in a few minuttes.

[@lynnhoffman247]

Merry Christmas to the pack! 🐾🐾👭🎄✨🎅🏼🐾🐾

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

yes, you NEED chains. Clementine needs all the help she can get in that kind of weather, especially in deep wet snow. not only that, but it sure beats having to shovel her out. 💚💙🩵💜🩷 After all you dress up for Winter, shouldn’t you show her the same kind of love?

[@lacreshahale2684]

I just wanted to say that being apart of the pack is honestly the only friends that I have, I’m in a new town, dealing with an incurable illness. I love watching you and you’re like my family! I look forward to Sunday mornings watching you.

[@ktkrogstad]

I'm with you! I live at home with severe ME, and my online communities are my world! Love these spaces of connection and living vicariously through different channels!

[@jackrolfson312]

I get my weekly fix Of van Wives, It gets the next seven days a great kick start! I think most of us want to Live the same type of lifestyle that you two do. Very simple, But very rewarding And a lot of hard work , That i'm sure is very satisfying. Please take this time to meet with your friends and family at this christmas season. Looking forward to next year, To see what happens in your Little piece of paradise. I hope you have a merry christmas and a very happy and prosperous new year!❤

Same here! I love Sundays because all those I follow post on Sundays and I get to sit inside cozy house and look outside and see cold winter sky and watch vlogs from all over the world.

[@Vanwives]

Oh Thomas, thank you so very much for your all your kind words. Fur babies are the best! Happy Holidays to you. We will see you back here in 2024. Sending love back to you and your fur babies from the pack. 💛🌞

[@sherrywisler3718]

I’m 76 and live with a lot of cats. Watching your videos during my chemotherapy sessions made my life bearable. I’ve had my surgery and finished radiation. You two are an inspiration to this old lady. Watching you build your homestead has been awesome. I’d love a t shirt. Size large if possible, any color is fine. They are beautiful shirts and I’d buy one, but medical expenses have left me living check to check. I make sureI watch you every Sunday. I know it gets dark way to early. Same here in Indiana.

Medical debt is killing me too sister, being a grown up isn’t as much fun as I thought it was going to be 🎉

Hello - I’m 59, and going through my second battle with cancer (Colorectal Cancer 2015, Metastatic Melanoma - 2022). You are a true warrior to be going through treatment in your advanced (ahem) years. My hat is off to you. I too, have enjoyed watching them build their homestead. After watching them from the beginning of VANwives, I had no doubt they could accomplish great things together in the woods. Jaz/Crystal - I would like to offer to pay for Sherry’s T-shirt. All you have to do is reserve both an XL T-shirt, and an XL sweat shirt for me (I will pay for mine too). Who knows Sherry, maybe you/we will be the lucky winner(s).

[@meggggg]

​@@derekutt1809 This is such a sweet gesture, I hope they see your comment! You're both such strong souls ❤

[@ashleemiranda-222]

Why I LOVE THE PACK so much. 1- you’re all genuine and nice people. 2-you’re not fake. 3-your content is loving, educational and really smooth and nice to watch every week. 4-you’re both humble and nice and loving people. 5-I get pumped to watch The Pack every Sunday. 6- you’re Canadian, just like me. 😬😬 I have MAD respect for the two of you! Love y’all!!!! 💜🫶🏻

[@elizabethlecheminant7913]

I am a landscaper and a lot of the time i get a bit burnt out but seeing y’all’s enthusiasm for all you outdoor projects especially pushing snow gives me a new sense of happiness for what i do. Winters magic is coming back to me seeing you get so excited to to play in it

[@michaelbryant2071]

Say, "Be gone Grinch!"

[@tracybaldwin1370]

I'm not in the best place....When Jaz said "It's incredible how much can change in one year!" It's exactly what i needed to hear today. It's true and not just for home improvements. Inspired me...one day at a time...keep moving, improving and looking forward. Thanks girls!

[@stevens-buk6830]

Same. But we can all turnaround our lives to be in a different place, in our heads and IRL

[@scottm5221]

What an incredible year! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Happy Holidays! Can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for y’all!

You are so right Tracy, not just in home improvements. Just one moment, one hour, one day. Sending you lots of love today. 💛🌞

[@warriorcherylann3801]

Why do I love the pack because you bring unity into this world -- a prime example of what this world needs right now is unity! Thank you for doing that!

[@Kinghauler2012]

Keep in mind, you can use the backhoe attachment on the tractor to pull itself back if needed. You can also push down with backhoe to raise rear wheels and then swing it over for a bit of directional control. Your first winter with the tractor, you’ll get the hang of it and all it can do.

[@nekoroms]

also it might have a pedal/button for difflocks too :) could also say that plowing with the bucket is stooopidly crappy...a plow in the front would be epicly good

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

@@nekoroms It's so easy to say something nice and or encouraging, and yet...

[@riffraffsam4168]

He is being encouraging. He is trying to help them be more capable with their tractor. The first step would have been to check if the brake pedal is split you might be able separate the rear brakes and get traction by stepping on the brake to the tire that is spinning. If still stuck, look for and apply differential lock pedal. If you're still stuck, lower the backhoe out riggers to about 3 inches off the ground (as wheelie bars, put the tractor in neutral and use the backhoe to pull yourself off the ice. Just be super slow and super careful doing any of this. There is probably some youtubes of these procedures. Be safe, and good luck.

[@Njanderson]

As a fellow Canadian around a similar age to you two, you both are so inspiring to me. Seeing strong, confident, skilled women do the things you do makes me so proud! You two are the reason I wake up with a smile on Sundays!❤

[@chip6534]

I grew up in an off grid solar powered house as well. However, we had all sorts of quirks such as our water pump shutting off when we had too little or "too much" electricity, which is why it's so cool to see how you're making your systems work, and the improvements in technology. It brings me a little nostalgia to see that lifestyle again❤ (And also it's not the whole snowplowing experience if half the job isn't digging out your plow that got stuck lol)

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

Merry Christmas, Crystal and Jasmin, Bella and Izzy!!! 🎅🎁🌲🎶🎶🎶🥰🇨🇦

You two have got to be so proud of yourselves! Conquering every obstacle with such joy and lightheartedness. Love your merch and how it spreads your good news!

[@shirleyrowe4078]

The drone shots over your lit up land and property at dusk and night time are stunningly beautiful. As much as I enjoy you and the pups, the scenery, the land shots, are just spectacular. Is there some sort of award show for filmmakers of KZbin? If so, you’ve got this! Have a wonderful Canadian Christmas from warm San Diego!❤

[@katiehall6557]

I agree! Wouldn’t a video of just snowy drone footage set to non-trademark winter/holiday music be dreamy?!

[@SteveTheFordGuy985]

Happy holidays, ladies I have a tip for you. To get your tractor out of the ditch. Use the backhoe bucket (bottom of bucket, teeth up in the air) on the low side or ditch side to lift the rear wheels off the ground & move rear wheels back onto road. Then, connect your tow strap to the rear of the tractor with pickup in (4x4 low range) to pull the tractor in reverse. Also, use the tractor in reverse (low range) to get it completely out of the ditch and back on flat ground.

[@barryryan6612]

It's inspiring to see what you women have accomplished. I've been a member of vanwives, packchat and patreon since day one. You have made me more confident in starting projects I never would have considered before. You both shine a light into so many people's lives.

[@Vanwives]

Oh Barry, thank you so much for all those compliments! Most importantly for being part of our pack from the very beginning. Thank you. 💛🐶

[@paulcaccomo8372]

Happy Holidays. My daughter and I have been watching your channel for a couple years now. I love the independence you two have. As a girl dad, watching my daughter watch the two of you build and create an off-grid lifestyle with minimal assistance embraces the true meaning of girl power. Cheers to many more years.

[@lesliesmith7312]

Here is my fave soup recipe, a pack of vegan chorizo sausage chopped, one medium onion, diced, two to three lbs diced potatoes, four to six cups of veggie broth or vegan chicken style broth, two whole bunches of kale, de-steamed nd cut into bite sized pieces. Salt and pepper to taste, tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cayenne, and two bay leaves (I also add a couple dashes of oregano and fennel seed but they're not in the original recipe) To prepare heat oil of choice in a pot, brown the sausage and onion, add potatoes, broth and seasonings and bring to a boil until potatoes are almost fork tender, then add the kale and put on the lid( it will look like there's too much kale, but trust me, it shrinks) and simmer until the kale is cooked down. I like to serve it with a ton of parmesan cheese and crusty bread with butter

I love my weekly dose of the homestead and the girls. You take on any challenges that come along and I love that. I’m 67 years young and live in Montana. I cut my own wood and heat my small home on 50 archers that I purchased when I was 25 years old. I raised my both of my daughters here and look forward for when they visit come to visit with my grandkids.They Love it here. I hunt and fish and have a small garden in the spring and summer. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Both of you are very inspirational and such positive role models for the people of the world. I would like to win any of your merch to show support of you and the good which you are doing. It truly has been a joy to watch you share parts of your life with you community. Enjoy the holidays and keep enjoying life

As a father of two young ladies, I cannot get over the skills you two present each and every week. I know your Mom’s must be very proud of you. Trust me when I say your dad’s would be over the moon with what you two do each and every day. I have a hoodie coming after Christmas, the one with your two friends on the back, I should have ordered a hat to match. It is a small way of showing you how impressed I am and your dad’s would be with all you have accomplished in such a really short time. What you do with your new property will be nothing short of spectacular. Take the time to rest and think about what 2024 will bring. We all know it will be something very special indeed. A very Merry Christmas, and the very best to you both and your loved ones for 2024.

It is not just the transformation of the cabin that is so amazing. The amount of skills that you have acquired is also stunning! The way you absolutely nailed the countertop last week was professional. Also, the fact that your gorgeous kitchen is complete has to be a relief! As much as I would like to see some little projects, like trim, done, I was much happier to see you out on the lake! You definitely work too much! It is nice to see you enjoy the fruits of that labor! Still stuck on the fact that you have 3 heat sources, running water, electricity, a finished kitchen, indoor bathroom and shower and a warm, cozy cabin with gorgeous views! You have accomplished so much! Also, I am glad that Bella is feeling better!!! Love and snuggles to her!

Cook for 15-20 ( add water/veggie stock as needed to keep consistency good), adding the amount of water called for in the orzo package. Once the roux has thinned out to a more watery consistency, but still tastes good add in the rinsed orzo. Cook until orzo is soft. Serve with side of bread.

Love watching you two from Germany. I miss living “up north” in Minnesnowta, ND, SD, WI…. I miss the loons and herrings calling their mates. I miss the ducks n geese in a V overhead. I miss the smell of cut wood, tractor oil, and pine cones. I miss my grandma’s log cabin by the lake - when I was young it had no running water just a pump, and an outhouse. You make me smile when I watch your show!

[@lkimbcan]

I’ve been watching the two of you since you were full time vanlifers. I have been a full time vanlifer, RVer , had my teenager live in a tent for several months one year while my partner and I lived in a van, lived full time in a truck with cap & again, full time in a van. I’ve watched So many videos & while I've definitely done work in each of my homes, I've never done one up completely. You inspire me to really do a full renovation in my next vehicle (either a stepvan or box truck). I've got some skills but the electrical freaks me out...my van is my daily driver & I just can't afford to blow it up 🙁. And, we all know, run your electrical first... I'd be chuffed to wear Pack gear & spread the word.

Hello lovely beings! I'm fairly new to the pack and got on board earlier this year. I started to watch the videos of your cabin build leading to the present. I now have gone back to the beginning of your journey on the van and am in the process of catching up on all your adventures. I just want to say thank you. I am a mom of 4 (23, 17, 15, and 13). My life path has been filled with an ebb and flow that has lead me through many of my own adventures...the most fulfilling being a mother. There's an integral part of my soul that has always sought the peace and tranquility of a simpler life. I'm grateful to be at a time where we as a family, despite being in the midst of a bustling city in Florida, live on 7 acres with horses, chickens, roosters, 2 mini cows, and a full size heifer. Enough space to separate us just enough from the hustle and bustle around us. Still, my heart wishes to be further away in a mountanous region, closer to nature where peace, beauty and tranquility abound. This is where you girls have so graciously stepped into my life. Watching your videos each week fills me with so much joy and makes my heart so happy. The beautiful symbiotic relationship between you adds so much love and peace to my life for those 20-30 minutes of my Sunday. Not to mention those beautiful girls, Bella & Izzy!! Thank you for being you and for sharing your beautiful lives with the world!

I have a full set of V-bar chains for our machine. I have not used the fronts. The rears help a ton , our driveway is sloped and I plow at 45deg or 90 deg to the slope . This helps not get stuck.

My girlfriend and I got inspired to start vanlife by watching your videos. We have been going strong on the road for 3.5 years now!

[@marianfrances4959]

LMAO at the dogs "shovelling !" 😂 Happy Holidays...👍😎🇨🇦🌞🎄🐾🐾🤶🤶

[@andreashedman8243]

Hello from Sweden 👋🙂 I have followed you for a couple of years before you got your cabin in the woods. I followed some other youtubers from Sweden who lived van life. I like to follow vanlife people because you get to follow along and see so much out in the world. I think it's fun to see what you have managed to achieve with the cabin in the woods. I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to fulfill my dreams of building a camping van. In the meantime, I get to enjoy living in our caravan at our campsite in the summers 🙂 So fun to follow you and your journey at the cottage. Everything you are built and created there. Keep up the good work, you guys are the best ❤💪❤❤❤

The things that you two accomplish is incredible! You inspire me to stop with negativity and just go for it. Y’all are beasts!

[@Vanwives]

Thanks for the kudos. Aww thanks for caring and sharing!💛🐶

[@anthonydunne7385]

Thank you all and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Glad to see you enjoying the snow. If you get the tractor stuck you can always use the backhoe or bucket to help get you moving. Put the bucket down and curl it to push yourself out. Same with the backhoe, you can lift and push with it. Cheers from Barrie

Love the tree! It’s absolutely perfect and yes Clementine needs chains asap!

[@tonicarroll3281]

Why do I love the pack?????🤔 Because I live in the UK and all it has done this year is rain!☔️ no spring, summer or autumn just winter. Watching your channel helps to helps to push away some of the rainy winter blues. If I woke up and there was snow like that it would make my year 😂. I love your freedom and courage to just do what you want and makes you happy. 😊

[@cristinavesbach9612]

I love the energy and singing!

[@Bradoman5]

My husband and I found you through Tal and Mads! 😂 we now watch you both every Sunday! It's something we can watch together as you are building things and living off grid so it keeps him interested not only watching you build stuff but drool over your tools lol 😅 we also would love to live off grid someday so watching you has taught us a lot. Keep up the great work girls! We secretly love to also watch Bella and izzy get into mischief 😂 He bought me a Hoodie for my birthday I can't wait for it to come in! We will be official members of the pack 🐾

[@lorriey5344]

My husband and I watch you weekly. We love u both. And miss you!! We are hoping you are ok?

[@hanserikkratholmrasmussen6623]

So do I. Love you both. I dont think you can feel the vibes all the way from Denmark though 😊

[@crbourret]

I love being part of the pack because as the father of a 20 something daughter, I feel as proud of you girls as I do my own daughter! Keep up the great work!!

[@carolhenderson1156]

Love the "velcro dog" comment; we have an Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler, she never leaves our side. Happy holidays.

[@Boogles990]

Love watching you learn and grown! Pear and parsnip soup and butternut squash soup are my favs!!

[@paulg2132]

Yep, you need the thingys!! Thanks for the beautiful drone footage. I love seeing the snow covered trees.

[@kelseehaws]

What an absolute breathtaking winter wonderland!! It’s so beautiful!

[@emameza8516]

Hello girls!!! for me the pack is calm, happiness, motivation and love! with my girlfriend we watch every Sunday your videos and it's such a beautiful plan that we created out of your adventures guys, so thank you for this. For me the pack means a representation of LGBTQ+ community, means that the limit of what we can or cannot do is ourselves, means laughter and family. So, again, thank you so much for this. XOXO from Argentina, hoppely you'll get to come one day!! We'll greet you with hugs and love.

[@dawnlowe9524]

I have been following and watching for awhile now and enjoy your content and dedication to being off grid. So glad to be in the pack!!!!

[@kensie5192]

Love being apart of the pack! Me my husband and my two littles look forward to Sunday mornings to watch your videos! Keep on keeping us all smiling!! ♥️ stay warm and happy!!

[@jillmcnutt7985]

I vote for the ‘little reflect-y thingys’ 😂 and chains for sweet Clementine. You two are adorable. ❤🌻

[@crumpledktee]

Hi :) I’m the youngest one living in a long term care facility in Alberta. I wait for your videos to come out every Sunday. It gets me through the week especially when there has been another death that week. You always make me feel happier. I would love some merch if you pick me and would wear it proudly everywhere! There are three of us here who gather around my phone to see what’s going to happen next! You definitely need chains for Clem. Snuggles to the pups and love to you both. You make me proud. Love Katie ❤

[@SarahHorner]

It blows my mind how much you’ve done! So inspiring. I am so happy that you are now able to wake up in a warm cosy cabin and truly enjoy a snowy winter!

[@abicarpenter]

Our fav cold weather recipe that’s so versatile is Salsa chicken! I make it in the crock pot but it works in any slow cooker or even Dutch oven. It’s just chicken breast, a jar of salsa, a packet of taco seasoning which has (1 tablespoon chili powder. ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. ¼ teaspoon onion powder. Pinch of cayenne pepper. ¼ teaspoon dried oregano. ½ teaspoon paprika. 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin. 1 teaspoon salt) and then at least one to two cups of broth or stock. When it’s done you can shred it and have it as taco meat, add more broth and veggies to make a soup, ect! This is a Texas home staple!!

[@alicecain4851]

Goodness! So many wonderful comments! I love that you have brought so many people together who feel like they are pack! A pack is a family, and thats beautiful. Having a piece of clothing that can remind you that you have a pack to help uplift and support you leaves you with an amazingly warm feeling inside. No matter how cold it may be outside. What a family you have brought together! Thanks, pack! ❄️ 🐕 ❄️ 🐕 ❄️ ❄️ 🚜 ❄️ 🚜 ❄️
