Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

Oh wow!! This just came up in my YouTube video recommendations today! You girls seemed so nervous and stiff back then, so unlike now with how you seem totally comfortable in front of the camera talking about ... and doing just about anything ... look how far you have come!! I'm so thankful to have been part of your pack for these past few years!

[Cherie]

OMG My first time watching this video is June 30, 2024. I have been watching for the last 2-3 years. Look how far you have come. Even Izzy and Bella look like babies. ❤❤❤❤

Posted June 2021: OMG, I’ve been watching you two for the past year and have seen most of your videos. I decided to watch this one just for fun & am so impressed with how much you’ve developed and grown! So cool! Love it❣️🐾🐾

[darrenheaps]

Wow!! I've been watching you guys for years and have never seen this vid....you guys have grown and developed into freakin' Youtube stars!! What a difference between now and then!! Just love you guys!

Oh my goodness Crystal!!! I have been a weekly follower since cabin season 1 and thought it would be important to go back and watch your videos from the beginning (also because I'm all caught up on cabin stuff for the second go around and I just feel so inspired by you two)! I can see such a huge growth in you both and finally understand was Jaz has been saying about how it was like pulling teeth to get Crystal to talk to the camera. I hope you are both super proud of the growth you've had over these years.. It shows and your pack loves you!! Now i'm coming to the east coast next fall.. need any helpers? hehe.. dream come truuue!

27 june 2022 and wow how much you 4 have grown. Since I've been watching you past year or so. And how much you've achieved. You should be extremely proud of yourselves 💪👏👏👏

[SueSun_I_Am]

I just watched your cabin 3 year Timelapse video and I am now obsessed with you both. You are both extremely talented and badasses. I am now on a journey to watch your videos in chronological order. Well done with the cabin. IMPRESSIVE 🫶🏾

[SirCarlosMusicBMI]

🎉🎉🎉 What an amazing video for being your first video 👏👏👏❗️ It just blows my mind how 4 years can go by so fast. You’re an inspiration to many. I’ve been catching up with some of your older videos and I’m so happy that I found your first one.
Tons of love and respect from Paso Robles, California, Carlos

And here we are, 3 years later. I loved watching your very first video.❤

[Gmana]

WOW! What a difference the beginning was compared to now (Nov 2021). Keep up the great work and Paws Up! <3

[klingertam]

So good to look back! Blast from the past for sure!

[kelsidunne]

watching this in 2022 is the cutest thing. look at you four now!!!

[cattipuff]

I started watching you guys from a vanwives reel about the cabin on insta so skipped all the van videos and started to watch from the first cabin video. I’ve just got up to date so I can watch every Sunday (you guys have just got the tractor!) so I thought I’d watch from the beginning. The difference is huge just in your presenting. Love you guys so much! Your positivity brightens my day. There’s nothing you can’t do, amazing! Big big love from lil old me in Cornwall, UK to you and the girls ❤

[dinawhite]
