First Time at Our New Off-Grid, Water Access Wilderness Cabin! Summer Fun, Setting Up & Fishing

Come along with me and my family as we dive headfirst into the wild unknown of our new off-grid water access cabin tucked away in the stunning Canadian wilderness. It was a real adventure getting there, cruising through the waters on a long boat ride to finally unlock the door to our rustic paradise. We spent our days basking in the summer heat, swimming, setting up our dock, and exploring the rugged beauty that surrounded us.

One highlight was stumbling upon a hidden waterfall and sharing a special moment teaching my son how to clean fish by the crackling campfire. The fish fry that followed was a feast for the ages under the twinkling night sky. Of course, Mother Nature had her say too, keeping us grounded the next day with strong winds and rough waves. But that just set the stage for our next escapade - a canoe adventure to uncover the secrets of the backcountry lakes. Stay tuned for more tales of our wild family escapades at our off-grid retreat!

The pitcher pump at the sink needs to be primed with a bunch of water poured down it to create a suction.

I don’t comment much on YouTube, but it’s great to see good things happen to good people. Congratulations

[victoriag]

my favorite thing in the video, is the equal partnership with you and Tori and the strong family bond that all of you have. And it was nice seeing Tori catch the biggest fish!

Wesley sitting up by himself. Wesley playing games with the family. Wesley’s beautiful interaction with Hudson. Displaying that bond between Hudson and himself.Hudson catching his first fish. Hudson helping clean the fish and Hudson carrying logs like a big boy was the best part of this video. I wish all children could experience the good life that your boys are living. 🎩 👒 off to you Jim and Tori for great parenting 🤗

Jim and Tory, this video makes us smile so much. Fifty years ago we bought a rustic log cabin on 40 acres of western upper peninsula wild land. It was a spur of the moment decision. We had snowshoed through five feet of snow to look at the camp. My wife was pregnant with our first child at the time but didn’t know it. We have many fond memories of our times there. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your camp as your kids grow.

"Whatcha doing, Dad?" over and over again from Huddy is one of my favorites. I was especially impressed when he picked up one end of the the canoe to bring it ashore. Some useful skills there. Loved Tori's grin when she was outfishing you! I thought this cabin would just be another set of chores for your busy family, but absolutely loved seeing all of you able to relax and enjoy your time there.

[dannyplummer]

Both of you are wonderful parents, the kids just adore you both, the love for them is evident.

[evanderbyshire]

Hudson is going to be a hard worker! He always wants to help and is so interested in learning. So cool

[SJC]

Awsome place you have Jim and Tory, I'm sure this is the beginning where great lifelong memories will take place for you and the kiddos.

[melonyrichards]

Well I would say my favorite part was just seeing the smile on everyone's faces and having a good time. The kids are getting so big and huddy is so helpful. He's such a little gentleman. I can tell there will be many more fun times had and lots more memories made. So very happy for you all. And Tori excellent job on the fishing.

What a beautiful moment to share with the world!

[Blasting-off-]

Did you prime the pump by pouring buckets of water into it at the top of the hand pump?

[dyannejohnson]

This was a pleasure…thank you for inviting us along..

Hudson is quite the helper, Wesley seems to like the cottage a lot too.
