Osland is a small "town" that I discovered last year, completely on accident. I was out fishing and exploring and I stumbled upon this island, with a boardwalk and a bunch of very old buildings. After releasing that video, I got so many comments and messages from folks, telling me what this place actually is. It is remote, it is off grid, it is hard to access, it is practically unknown, and to some it is home away from home. This is Osland, and this is the story of generations. People moved to this country and made this home. Europeans that took massive risks to cross the world and start a new life, and they chose this little island. Sometimes we take our history for granted, but just take a moment and think about that journey. From Iceland to British Columbia. Then they built homes, and boats and families here, in a location almost nobody knows about, in a spot most people cant access.
It was an absolute pleasure getting to revisit this location, and to get the chance to do it with locals, and family members of the original immigrants. These are the stories I really love to tell, because these are the ones that are so easily lost in time.
Great big thank you to the the folks that made this one possible.
