#jimbairdadventurer #outdoors #offgridlife Do We Buy a Remote, Off-Grid, Water Access, Cabin? Heavy Wind, Wet Boating & Campfire Roasted Tongue @ToriGoesOutside and I basically pick up from where we left things off on our NatGeo show “Home in the Wild” when we set out to visit a remote, off-grid water access cabin on a large lake in Northern Ontario. Our plans are momentarily halted by strong winds, reaching speeds of 68kmph, making the waves too turbulent for safe travel on our boat. While waiting for the weather to calm, we enjoy some family games before deciding to explore the lake's conditions, only to be met with challenging waves and wind-driven spray, prompting us to return to shore. We find refuge in a simple campsite at the edge of a gravel parking lot nestled in the wilderness, where we gather around a campfire to savor roasted bison tongue and homemade s'mores, creating cherished memories amidst the tranquility of the evening. The next day, we brave the waters once more on a 21km boat journey to reach the cabin, revealing its rustic condition and lack of modern conveniences such as running water and a proper washroom. Contemplating the prospect of purchasing the cabin, we reflect on the joys and challenges of off-grid living in this secluded haven. Join us on this authentic exploration of remote living and family bonding in the serene wilderness of Northern Ontario, as we navigate the uncertainties and possibilities that lie ahead. Follow our journey as we navigate the decisions that await us and the experiences that unfold in this captivating narrative of nature, family, and the allure of off-grid living.
