This is an amazing inspiration of how to find happiness. It is not in the materialistic world that we live in. Happiness is a practice not a destination, and you guys proved it. Would you guys be comfortable sharing on how you guys were able to make if possible finances wise? I really want to get to that some day.
Hey Karan! You're absolutely right! We will be sharing all of that info soon as we take the next year to travel north america in the van, we think it's important for everyone to know they can live this lifestyle if they choose to, and not have to have a significant income to make it happen! 🙂 thanks for the kind words! All the best.
Awesome work on the portages! I've seen them and they look tough, even if you are in good shape. Clipper makes great canoes in Abbotsford. I have a solo prospector 14 in kevlar dura flex that's about 42 lbs and tested tough against impacts (by clipper and by me). I wouldn't drag it over rocks though. It's an incredibly capable seaworthy canoe.
Thanks! It was a grind lol... i've heard great things about the Clipper canoes! Had my eye on them for a while. The Old Town is a great family canoe for these 'shorter' trips but if we do anything longer I'll definitely consider making the switch in the future. Thanks for the info. Cheers !
Came across your Channel by chance. What a superb adventure you guys had and what amazing scenery, yes you do look very happy on the road. Very nice photography. Could you also attach maps and routes of your travels please. Subscribed.
Thanks so much for sharing your road trip with us 😊 it's so nice to see how happy you guy's are adventuring. My husband and I always had so much fun road trippin. ❤️
I was really surprised that there wasn't any snow on the ground or ice on the water in February! Isn't that unusual for Canada? Absolutely beautiful there 😍 so very pretty ❤
The island is a temperate rainforest so very mild winters. Still gets super cold with the extra humidity in the air but at least we have access to the beautiful lakes year round 😁❤️
Awesome trip guys!! I said to Aunt Chris, "No wonder his back is bugging him", then I realize your lugging your backpack as well 🤯🤯. And another thing, what is the writing on the back of Alannah's lifejacket? Keep the videos coming!!!!
You hit your 30's and all of a sudden your back hurts all the time... What the f?! We "borrowed" them from work so it's the size and initials written on the back 😅. Lots more to come. We leave for Alaska next month ! Cheers
@@wayoftheroads I thought you heard us moaning and groaning about backs and knees and what not all these years,,, and it doesn't get any better😖,lol keep moving man!!!
Your four-day backcountry adventure through Canada's stunning paddling route is truly inspiring! Embrace the thrill of exploration and the beauty of nature as you create unforgettable memories in the great outdoors. And I'm floating village life
Oh my gosh, I absolutely love the Canadian Rockies ♥️ so incredibly beautiful !! But actually when I think about it there are so so many beautiful places in Canada... you are so lucky to live there.
Just so you know, that old tackle can be not aloud anymore .No 3 prong hook in rivers in bc. I believe that was Snow Creek you were fishing in 🤷♂️ I like your videos. I'm new from Steve as well 😊
Hey Dave, I appreciate the insight! I am aware now as I have been trying to educate myself recently on the proper fishing etiquette/techniques of fishing in the area... if it's any consolation... I still haven't caught a fish lol. Thanks for commenting. Cheers
@wayoftheroads Very welcome. I know that spot well! Just need a single barbless on that spoon! Should work, the trout like fly or wedding band 😉 Glad I found your channel really enjoying it! Loved the trip out from Ontario up to Yukon Arctic and Van Isl.
It's the adversities we face that make it an adventure & look at what a great island paradise you found ❤️ btw... canoe the north is another one of my favorite channels 😉 you should check out lost lakes if you haven't, also another great channel. I love your channel & look forward to more canoe trips to come 👍
Absolutely! Love those channels. They've actually been big inspirations behind our backcountry canoe videos! After watching Jon's videos, we're especially excited to paddle more of the Ontario lakes we hadn't had the chance to do when we lived there :)
Wow a 90lb canoe?! You definitely need a lighter canoe. Got to give you credit for portaging that 👍 although those were some very well maintained portage trails.
A lot of the trails were very well taken care of which was nice but there were also a few rough ones too. Love the canoe... but yes I agree it would be nice to have a lighter one. Made the trip more interesting haha
What a great adventure! The Sunshine Coast certainly has interesting portages. Take lessons from Diesel “when your a foodie everyone is your buddy” 😊 I know of a place to supply you with some snacks! 🙂
Always enjoy seeing your videos and the way you guys interact. The lakes were beautiful and look so peaceful. You both put some work and walking into this one. Diesel knew he had to do something after the Kitchen trash incident. He is a smart dog and so loveable. Thanks for all the work and time you give into what you do in your travels and experiences. God Bless
That shot of Diesel sitting at the picnic table wagging his tail and smiling with the other family was hilarious. So stinkin cute! I'm serioulsy impressed you carried that absolute TANK of a canoe plus a pack over those portages. Kudos 💪🙌 Beautiful video!
Haha he's a character that's for sure! Always seems to surprise us with his antics. It was a character builder.... Thanks for noticing the extra effort 😂. We appreciate you watching and following along. Cheers !
It's always a pleasure to see your video. This was beautiful. I enjoyed every part of it and especially Diesel. He is special! Can't wait to see you guys in the next video.
We're glad we got the chance to explore the sunshine coast some more ! That burrito was fantastic... But even more amazing after 4 days of dehydrated food 😅... Thank you again for all the good information on the area. All the best !
What a great country we live in. Ive never been to Ontario or east of there but good to know Timmys is always handy. Ill get out there someday, maybe on the way to Normandy to honour our heros. Loved your journey, thank you. Well done. Just an Alberta guy who got lost in Yukon 40 years ago. Cheers from Whitehorse
You've got that right! Don't think we'd ever get sick of exploring Canada. Timmies is great but gets old real fast 😅. Maybe we'll see ya up there when we make our way back in September. Cheers Terry ! Thanks for watching
It's tough haha.. the Santa Fe was sealed up pretty good thankfully but we have that issue with the van now where it's kind of inevitable you're going to have to do some cleaning up after the drive😅
Glad you enjoyed the island. A little confusing tho, one minute you're in Nanaimo and the next you're north of Sayward? There is a lot of great island adventures in between. The Comox Valley is the recreational capital of Canada and Hornby Island is simply magical.
Thanks. We live in Comox area, so didn't film much (other videos on CR & Courtenay area) . You're right, lots of adventures in between those cities. We've spent the last Christmas's on Hornby! Love it there. Thanks for watching
@@wayoftheroads Ahh...I wasn't aware that you are islanders lol! I assumed you were tourists exploring - I should pay attention! I spent 40 years on the Island, mostly in Comox and my late wife was born and raised on Hornby Island.
@@suddenlysolo2170 sorry to hear of you wife's passing. Yes, the island is a magical place ❤️. The list of adventures to be had just continues to grow lol. Cheers
