Sometimes I Forget How Much I love Living in the Bush

After three years of living in the bush, I do sometimes forget how awesome it is to be able to do what I am doing. Living in the wilderness was once a dream for me and Its good to remember that I am still living that dream. I am grateful to be able to do what I do.
Welcome to Traplines and Inlines, this channel focuses on my dog and I on our remote Off the Grid Homestead in Northern Canada. I make videos on off grid homesteading and building, trapping, chickens, mechanical projects, and hunting and fishing.
I went offgrid and started building my cabin over two years ago, while I was still in highschool. Since then I have built many things at the homestead and have had the priviledge of learning many things along the way.
The homestead is designed to be relatively low maintenance and with extremely minimal expenses. All of my electricity comes from solar power, heat from woodstoves, and I haul all my water so I dont have any monthly costs associated with my homestead.
I love the lifestyle, especially because it gives me the absolute freedom to do whatever I please. I plan on continuing to tackle awesome projects and work at building and fixing many more things, and I cant wait to share them with you on the channel.
Thanks for watching!

Ahhh. Just in time sweetheart ❤️. Just had one bad hurricane here. I'm sitting in my office at my house in Fort Myers Florida and had quite the past few days. Just got my power turned back on and finally able to use the internet. Many, are still without power, water, and millions lost their homes. So, seeing you at this moment fills my heart and puts a huge smile on my face and takes my mind off of the horrible tragedy around me. Thank you my dear friend.❤️💗

You should head for the "bush". Sweetheart is lonely, can't you tell?

I'm so sorry dear, it was originally supposed to hit us. It's always bittersweet, knowing it missed you but horrified it hit someone else. But yes, he is a sweetheart and seeing his videos in queue always puts a smile on my face.

I don't live quite as remote ad you, but my time at my cabin is so precious...quiet, I work on my projects, cut firewood, revel in the seclusion, so I have a good feeling about how you feel regarding that. I'm 68 and still learning all the time, so you have your whole lifetime to learn! Love your videos.

My career has been all office based. Retired 20 yrs ago and done a lot of DIY, shooting, gardening. At 71 with a bad back I still needed something different….so I’m learning to fly….passed all the exams and been solo for a few months. I’ll just keep going till I drop. You’re an inspiration…have fun for as long as you can.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

you must be living the perfect life tbh. I am a top uni grad but god damn...sometimes I wish I was just living out there, close to nature, no internet bullshit, using my hands and my tools, providing for myself and enjoying those quiet moments full of reflection. No rat race. I gotta give it to you, bud. You may have just worked that life shit out. All the best from across the word.

Same as myself, actually just achieved my Bacholers degree in Computer Networking this year. Kinda wishing I would have went into Forest management at a Rural college/University instead but hey ho I'll make it work. Even if I take a career in IT for a good few years, even in remote networking down the line, so i am still able to work in remote locations week to week and hopefully create enough wealth where I can buy a small farm cottage or something similar, somewhere rural later in life

[@canuckyank82]

My dad had the spirit of the bush in him. We would go deep into the mountains in Alberta with a Moto-ski and chase around after elk. Dad wouldn't shoot deer. He said they were too beautiful. He shot moose. We often were tasked as little kids with running the cutline and making noise to chase the game out onto his parallel cut line. It worked well. He knew his way around in the bush naturally. He never got lost. I too love the bush but life and decisions took other turns for me. My girls used to go deep into the nature preserve in Connecticut that backed our property. They would see deer herds and would also see coyote groups chasing the herd through the swamps. I am glad you have that camp. Never ever let it go. It is indeed sanity! Thanks for the video.

Agree, every man, his family too, needs a getaway place that belongs to them & nobody else.

[@twa2471]

I can definitely relate where you're coming from about being in the bush. I spent 16 years working with the forest service working in the Lincoln Woods Wilderness Area and patrolling all the way from Hanover to Franconia in New Hampshire on the Appalachian Trail and would stay out for 2 weeks at a time normally. a little over 2 years back I bought a 20 acre piece of forest land surrounded by Timber company land and State Forest where I can walk or take the four-wheeler for damn near 20 miles on the mountain without even hitting a road. there's only four houses on this road before the power stop and the road shuts down for the winter just after my neighbor's house 1200 ft away, then the next neighbor after that is 6 Mi away. I may not be in the bush but it's damn near as close to Heaven as you can get for Vermont. I call it the high Mountain Home Stead since I sit in a saddle a couple hundred feet below the highest mountain in the area. I still fuss around in the woods all the time but I'm 72 and putting up a 26x30 ft garage at the moment by myself so I ain't out hunting as much as I want to be. and damn it, bow season open today but I got to get my garage closed in yet so no time for for fooling around , winter is coming real soon Mister and I better get cracking if I'm going to get shit done before snow flies.

[@billyb.9878]

Self awareness is the key. And your all over it. That's what the wilderness does for ya. I'm an old man and every time I get in the woods it makes me feel young. Keep at it youngster your doing it & doing it well.

[@Kyplays]

When I was 3 my brother started taking me out to the bush an we made bushcraft stuff lean ons an spent nights in the woods when I was 5.

[@mikefalanga437]

Just remember,while that poplar may burn nice and hot, it burns up quickly, all soft woods do, while hardwoods burn a bit cooler and last much longer, so...at least you can load that stove of yours and get threw the night without sweating to death and then waking up freezing because the fire burnt out! 👍 rock 🍁 maple is a nice hard wood that burns good

[@porcelainflys]

I just want to let you knew how proud I am of you. I have watched your videos since day one and I often think of how well you are doing and all you have accomplished. My 12 year old son is also learning a lot about self sufficient living and I have got him into being more self sufficient because of you're videos. It's really let him see what kind of accomplishments can be made from a younger man and I appreciate all you have posted on KZbin. Your an inspiration. Safe travels

You can do it….just take baby steps ..i was interested in this 5 years ago and started with just hiking ..then it progressed to over landing with my rig…then thought of land …and finally bought something and have stepped up my rig with a rooftop tent and diesel heater, fridge and much more…my point is its doable. I wouldn’t think i would be where im at if somebody said back than “you will own your piece of land and have a nice over land rig in five years” … now granted im a weekend warrior but progress is being made. Don’t give up and follow your dreams… you can do it, just remember baby steps. Good luck my brother/sister. I wish you all the best !

Good to hear you enjoying life and looking forward to the next projects. I bought 2 canoes identical to the one you got 20 years ago, from Costco here in Sotland. Both canoes still in good shape, only use them a few times each summer but they have never let me down. Get a nice wooden paddle, I bought 2 Canadian paddles from an outdoor shop here, more expensive than plastic but feel much better. All the best.

Whatever you video is what I want to watch and I bet that goes for most of the rest of your fan base. That is a nice canoe. I'm glad you found it. The pike won't be happy about it. Once you learn how to fillet a pike it is a great snack. I like to fry it in bacon fat. You are looking fine. I'm glad to see you in this frame of mind. You are indeed a bush baby. Your living area is so practical. I live in an attic so I know how things have to be thought out. Good video. Pax.

[@annabel1792]

My husband and I own a bush quarter in Northern Alberta . We have a small cabin with wood stove, a couple of sheds and also park our 5th wheel there. We had 2 quads sold one and got an Argo with tracks. Game changer it is a little work horse and so great in the snow as well plus you can go in the water without getting swamped. I would highly recommend if you are in the bush the 6 wheel Argo is the way yo go.

[@mylesmclean7121]

Good day I am a retired 65 year old Man and have a registered trapline in Manitoba. It's very nice to see a young man like you who has the passion of the bush like myself and it's a lifetime adventure you are going to have. Enjoy it trapping is a way of life not the killing of animals but being one with nature. A great way to be out there is pick up your chainsaw and start carving I developed to be a fairly good chainsaw carver and let me tell you there is more money in carving the fur bearing animals than trapping them which is a sad state of affairs. Enjoy the moment it goes by faster than you think.
