A DAY IN THE LIFE Living Remote at Cabin in the Woods

Here it is friends: the new adventure we've been dreaming and saving for since we first met 8 years ago. We've always envisioned moving into the woods by the lake and building our dream tiny cabin as a home base for us to come back to in between our international travels. We cannot wait to have a place to call our own!! Now that we've lived remote for over a month we've established some daily routines we wanted to share with you all... but there really is nothing routine about living in a construction site with many different projects on the go 😝

How Did We Get Here?
After an incredible 3 years of living, working, and traveling in our self converted Sprinter Van we made the very tough decision to abandon it in Africa to take a rescue flight back to Canada. As it has for all of us this global pandemic has flipped our world upside down. When our Prime Minister announced that he was sending repatriation flights over to Africa to pick up Canadians who were stuck (due to border closures) we consulted with friends and family closest to us and realized that in this time of crisis we should be back in our home country. Halting our dream of driving around the world was a hard pill to swallow which is why we knew we needed a big project to keep our mind + body busy while social distancing back here in Toronto. Enter building an off-grid tiny house on wheels!! But after nearly 6 months, we realized that our dreams of continuing van life across North America in our new van build were not a current reality with the state of the world. So, we've found ourselves pursuing something we've dreamed of since we first got together 8 years ago... a cabin in the woods 😊

Who are we?

We're Eamon and Bec, a Toronto-based couple who live full-time in our self converted Sprinter Van!! SUBSCRIBE for wanderlust travel, behind the scenes of what it's really like to live in a van, and videos all about the yummy vegan food we make + eat! VAN LIFE COUPLE.

Our goal here is to inspire you to chase after your own dreams however big (or small... tiny homes anyone?) they may be! We hope to create a community of like-minded, positive individuals who will grow to love and support one another on their own journeys.

Okay friends, time to pool our creative energy and give this beautiful cabin of ours a name... thoughts?!

Random suggestion for the old single pane windows: keep them safe until spring and build yourself a little greenhouse out of repurposed glass! 🌱🏠

Eamon and Bec are really awesome. A lot of fun to work for and work with. There sweet presence on the video is not a act, there actually like that 24/7, Well at least some of the 15 hour days I've seen them. They treat everybody great. And feed me very well. They are really awesome couple.

Hot tip: your skin will thank you. Put a dish with water on top of fireplace so moisture is released into the air will fire burns. Learned this from my grandpa who used to live full time in a tiny cabin. Love the video!

Anybody else starting to feel as though they've moved to northern Ontario recently and are now living with Eamon and Bec in a rather awesome cabin?

I love that you had that conversation. I was brought up Catholic and went to Catholic school from kindergarten to graduation. I no longer consider myself Christian, but I am spiritual. I used to question everything and take it literally. I was quite resentful. Today I respect whatever people believe. No more arguing and trying to make my point or opinion "the right one'. Great video!

The best part of this video was Bec cleaning out the van and having to take a break to hear Tim extol more praise for yoga pants. ❤️

Happy Sunday everybody!! Does anybody else get depressed at how much these 2 get done in a week compared to what you do? 😬😂

I think you should name your cabin Serenity. “The goal of meditation is to reach a state of serenity. When your mind is still and perfectly calm” :) we love watching your videos, and you’ve really inspired us. Love the Foxes xx

We need a compilation on all of Tim's random comments about yoga pants and such. Tim is the new Bob (when Bob's not around.) Love the squad. 🙂

A bell or metal triangle hanging outside the front door, to ring or "clang" when its chow time! Just like in the good old days!!!! 😁💙

[amandavokoun]

Who else is thinking Eamon and Bec yoga pants for merch would be a big hit?!?!?

Cabin name: Sanctuary (Definition - a place of refuge or safety, a nature reserve)

[dancingfeather]

Several of my ancestors are from a little town called "Traveler's Rest." I love the name, and I think it fittingly applies to your new home, where you and your traveler friends can rest together. It will not just name the cabin, but all your land and lake.

Am I the only one noticing how super inlove they look? These builds are really bring them closer together, in this particular transition they're dreaming a lot more. It's beautiful to watch ❤️

[janthistleinthewind]

Bec, when you're doing the laundry be sure to keep the lint from the dryer. It makes a great fire starter for the woodstove!

[sadiebowman]

I started laughing when Bec was stretching and Eamon walks out all groggy and walking like an old man. Poor guy must be so sore from all the hard work he’s been doing. 😂😂 Take a break, man! Love ya guys!

[TheDeniseemily]

Keep those old windows from the 70s and use them to build a greenhouse in the spring.

[HandyC]

I like how bec was "yea going to end this weird conversation by starting the vacuum cleaner... nope, the guy's still talking, damn"

[saramullens]

I love the way bec just looks at eamon it's the sweetest thing how close she gets to his face lol so sweet!!!
