Join our off grid life as we battle rough roads, fierce storms, and unexpected challenges on the way back to our remote island homestead. 🌲🏝️
In this episode, we return to our isolated off grid island homestead after a winter away, embracing the true reality of wilderness living and sustainable life off the grid. From navigating dusty logging roads 🚧, enduring sudden downpours 🌧️, and coordinating ferry crossings 🚢, each step brings us closer to our unique remote property. The draw off grid home keeps us pushing forward, as we secure vital equipment like our new boom lift 🏗️ to build off grid structures on our wilderness island home.
Witness random acts of kindness as three men out for a ride rescue our solar panels and barge from destruction. ☀️🔧 Island off grid living presents distinct challenges—hauling gear by barge, controlling renewable energy ⚡, and crafting eco friendly solutions amid rugged terrain. Yet these very trials define our off grid adventure, pushing us to become more resourceful and resilient.
By forging our path on this remote island, we demonstrate how to create a fulfilling, self sufficient lifestyle. From rustic homestead living to contemplating a dandelion jelly recipe 🌼🍯, every moment reaffirms why we chose this journey. Join us and experience an off grid life shaped by island isolation, ingenuity, and unwavering determination. 🌿💚

I miss my beloved B.C and Cobbs so much 😂 ❤
Those Danishes looks great you guys need some bungie cords
Dandelion Tea is so good for you, also in the Spring when dandelions are young they are so good for greens to eat, with onions n bacon
Yeah, WOW, YOU HAVE GREAT NEIGHBORS, IT'S AMAZING that they saved your barge motor, and solar panels
Another awesome one 🙂 You still had room for a few more things on your trailer so you don't have to make another trip lol 🙂 Yes winter is hard on batteries for sure, Good to see you back to enjoy another summer of fun 👍, Great having good neighbors 😊, Have an awesome weekend
I DON'T understand, what Month is this for you??? On this video, I mean right now when I'm watching this it's DECEMBER ?? SO HOW MANY MONTHS AGO WAS THIS FILMED ? THIS VIDEO LOOKS LIKE SPRING ? DANDELIONS IN DECEMBER ?and last video I watched it was iced over on the lake, was this made in the Spring?
So happy for season 3. Dandylions are the new kemo. They are keeping me alive. I eat every part,the leaves,buds,stems. I make salads,with the young ones,the closed buds and flowers. The flowers taste like honey. The buds when fried with butter taste like morel mushrooms. I boil all parts and eat them like greens,with butter,apple cider vinegar,salt and pepper. They are sooo good. U r teasing me to see them,I want fresh ones only to have snow right now. And at that time(spring)of the year morel mushrooms will be growing.
And another season begins we’re all behind you rooting you on❤
Good evening 🤗 yummy looking Danishes 😋 nice of your neighbors to help you out 👌 wow, quite a load to haul to the island 😉
😊??? And here I thought yall were up to date when ya left.. so your a whole year behind..
A lot of places drill/cut a hole in one of the forklift blades to attach a ball Its much more secure than an attachment. I'm ready for a new season of videos.
Fantastic 1st episode. I loved every minute of it ❤
And the loon was saying welcome back melodi&ryan.
Seeing the sheer happiness in your eyes to be coming back to the island Blessed me to my core. Looking forward to the next installment!
Always thrilling to watch you both! ❤💙🫂🙏
I'm ready for the new season
How many years ago was this taped?
Thankfully there are still people who help because it is the right thing to do.❤
Even though?
You are very see other houses in your podcast.That live around the lake
(9:26) I'm so confused. How come Melodi looks like she's driving on the left side? The window is right next to her. She even looks out the window to her right at 9:48.
Maybe you could ask some of your neighbors. Across the lake near the boat ramp, if you could rent their dock to park your barge during the winter.
So season 2024 will be aired through this winter?
Living out there a jumpstart pack is a godsend.
That was quite an episode! You were faced w/all sorts of challenges and you aced accomplishing your goals! Wow! It makes the sighting of your peach & custard Danish's, a black bear, a flock of dandelions and a beautiful loon all the more special!
It was very heart-warming to see good people helping good people such as yourselves.
True Love:
Melodi: I thought I was going to be staying here overnight, by myself.😢💓
Ryan: Ohhh honey. I would never let that happen. I've got Franken-connections!🙂💓
Oh, thank you for posting this, Melodi & Ryan and Opal!🏝🐕👫💓
Just a helpfull note those ramps adjust towards the centre about a foot each side just lift and slide
How many miles is it on the dirt to the lake
You kids are true warriors!! All the crisis you have had to deal with! So much grit!!
You guys are repeatedly blessed, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s rough out there sometimes.
I loved it that the neighbors were so serious about saving your equipment😊 I know God will bless them for that effort🎄
Great episode you are both amazing ❤
Great content great video
Yay for season 3!!!!
What incredible neighbours you have there ❤❤❤❤
I am so glad that I received the season 3 notification. I glad that you’re back. I missed some of season 2. Ryan said he a plan and his plan worked to pill the boat off the truck. What are your winter months that y’all are off the island?
❤❤❤❤
A good tip for moving things for you guys drill a hole in one fork at the end of peppers pallet forks you can bolt a ball on for moving light stuff around I having moving things around don’t even have to get out lol I have been doing it for years never hindered my forks at all

So grateful to yr kind neighbour's help with solar&prop during the winter! Loon was definitely welcoming you all back, for sure!
