Приєднався 17 бер 2018
Michigan backcountry couple, Canadian native Colleen Kuehl and American husband Jonny, make no claim to being professional outdoor adventurers. However, both in our fifties have an amazing enthusiasm for paddling, backpacking, camping and overlanding! We also find a great deal of pleasure simply sitting around a campfire, sharing a beverage with old and new friends alike.

HEADING 6.5 HOURS NORTH TO 40 ACRE OFF GRID KAMP | and…THIS HAPPENED #upperpeninsulamichigan
We took the scenic route to kamp via, Mackinac City, Mackinac Island, Hessel Antique Wooden Boat Show and Kitch-iti-kipi. Heading north to kamp we had a little hiccup with the camper. A lovely lady named Angie stopped for us and had a tow truck company help us out. Thanks to to her and Burns Towing we were able to continue the next day and start working on the property.

Looked like a fun trip except having the trailer trouble. At least it is fixed and you still got to the destination......Take care, Bluefin.
We were just through there last weekend...hit the Soo, then back to Mackinaw. A little stop at Ocqueoc falls as well.
Such a great time until the tongue broke. 😵💫 It's always something when you're RVing. You guys truly made the best of the situation. Cheers!
Good to see it didn't ruin the weekend
Oh no about the camper! But glad someone up north was able to get it fixed quickly for you guys :)
Good afternoon folks 🖐😎👍
Looks like it’s really coming along. How nice of Dan to come and help he’s such a good guy. I like him more and more every time I get to see him. Cheers you guys way to go with the hard work. I am so excited to get up there and see it. Love you both to the moon and back. ❤️
It was great to have Dan help us out and see the property! We cannot wait to share with everyone! Miss you and love you too!!! Cheers C&J
The Viewer has no idea what is going on. Basic journalism, start your video with How, what , where, how, why
Thanks for watching and the suggestions! Cheers C&J
Great progress - now get away from those mosquitos!
Thank you….awe those mosquitoes have been relentless! Cheers C&J
Congratulations! We went through the same thing! We looked for years, we finally found our own piece of paradise in the U.P. It's been almost three years ago now. We've put in alot of work, but it's been so worth it! Wishing you guys the best!
Thank you so much! It’s just the best feeling to know with lots of hard work and patience we will be there too! Congratulations on your property ! Cheers Colleen and Jonny
Very Cool! Can't wait to visit and camp there when needed!?! 🤣😁😂
You betcha!!! Anytime! Cheers C&J
The wall window is dumb. The point of a wall is sun, wind & rain protection..

I lived in White Pine and Sault Ste. Marie, it is God's country!
We live both those places too and agree….the UP is definitely one of the most beautiful places and we are very fortunate to have found this spot. Thanks for checking in and cheers Colleen and Jonny
We love coming to the Upper Peninsula. That is an amazing property and will be even better when you are finished!
We will have one special RV spot ready for you when you come up! Cheers C&J
@KUEHLKUEST cheers!!! It was so good to see you ♥️♥️♥️

Thanks for the continued encouragement! We are definitely having lots of successes! Cheers C&J
So I think I watched the last few videos.....but maybe I'm just forgetful....what's the plan with the Cabin? renovate or demo?
The old hunting cabin is being demolished as we speak! Heading up there this weekend to start the next step. Cheers C&J
Lots getting done !! So far so good guys !! Awesome job
Hey Tubby! It does take time for sure, but the plan is in place! Cheers C&J
Afternoon folks 🖐😎👍
Well, hello to you and always nice to have you stop by! Cheers C&J
Due to my sporadic use of You Tube lately I apologize but I'm a bit behind.. A catch up video would be perfect...
Hi Chuck! Hope you have been enjoying your summer? Please watch for our next video of what we are doing up here. Cheers C&J
Here I am, trying to figure out how I missed that you had an entire cabin on your new property!
We never really showed the cabin so, you don’t miss it lol! It is being demolished as we speak. Thanks for checking in with us! Cheers C&J
So Cool you guys now have your base camp......looking good too. WOOT WOOT

So excited for you guys for all your progress. It’s looking beautiful.
Thanks Jackie! We miss ya but will catch up soon….maybe an open house camp out? Cheers C&J
@@KUEHLKUEST the camp out would be great. I know how much work it is to get things ready so no worries. Keep up the good work. I miss you guys too. ❤️
Don't loose the key to that set up
Right LOL!! We actually said that !! Thanks for following along and cheers C&J
Too #kuehl !!!! Looks like the pilot hole and slower speed did the trick to get through the door for the lock! Awesome! It's all coming together well! #kampkuest #kuehlkids
Yup your advice was perfect! Phase One is on track! Cheers C&J
Congrats again on the property. A lot of fun and excitement going on up there for you guys. I got my eye on a few pieces of property 'up' there too. Keep me in mind if you see some unlisted properties on your trips :) Looking forward to watching your development!!
Hey thanks and let’s chat soon about this..we will send you DM 😊Cheers C&J
@@KUEHLKUEST Sounds good!
I didn't think your neighbors were close enough to need a curtain for the bathroom. Oh, friends were showing up later... LOL
LOL yup still need a little privacy 😜Your summer looks good so far too! Cheers C&J
Good afternoon 🖐😎👍
Hey friend!!! Thanks for tuning in! Y’all rock! Cheers C&J
Casa De' KK is looking good 👍
Phase One is on track! Hope you are enjoying your summer?! Cheers C&J
I enjoyed your review. Can you tell us what it is like now that it has been a year?
Thank you for watching and we LOVE our awning….its been great with lots of wind, rain and even winter camping. Cheers C&J
Wow, be safe
Thank you! And just came back….the water is all gone! Yeah! Cheers C&J
@@KUEHLKUEST Have a great day
Man, it was really coming down there. Mosquitoes look horrid. Got all of the UP. lol can’t wait to see your little chunk of paradise one day.
We cannot wait to have you join us for a camp out! Miss ya Cheers C&J
Wow, that’s so massive rain. 😢 I’m glad you had some success despite the obstacles!
So much rain!!! Heading up tomorrow and the weather looks great! Cheers C&J
And to this day, he is still drilling those holes. 😂
Right LOL…we are heading up tomorrow with the correct drill bits ! Cheers C&J
Wicked rain
It was relentless!! The ditches were even over flowing! Heading up there tomorrow and the weather looks great! Cheers C&J
Welcome to the U.P. we have seasons winter, October to June 1 rain season may ish to July, July and August summer, September to October 20 or 30th rainy season Halloween snow and winter starts again. Ya we got warm days in between or non snow times but we like our home and are proud Americans.
We will embrace them all!! And thanks for the welcome….we cannot wait to move up there! Thanks for watching and following along Cheers C&J
#kuehlkids #kampkuest Hey John, start that hole with about a 1/4" bit for a pilot. That will take away most of the work. Just make sure that it is large enough to cover the center web of the large drill bit. I hope this helps!
Also, run the drill slower. Bits will work better and last longer. I'm excited to see the place once you're ready for visitors
@@an_adventurous_life_very good advice here!
Agreed thanks Adam!
It's all part of the journey!! You remember the challenging days more than the easy days. In the end, you will laugh about them and share a drink with someone while telling the stories of the challenges you overcame.
100% and boy do we have storiesLOL hope you are enjoying your summer? Cheers C&J
Hey folks 🖐😎👍
Hey friend! Hope you are having a great summer! Cheers C&J
Just saying that we live in an apartment, but know the Manager - so we have a grill. ;) Holy weed-whacking Batman! Looks like a fun journey.
Jonny misses it so much! Thanks for watching our UP north journey…we are so excited! Cheers C&J
Check it out guys! Very cool.
Hey thanks you two! Looks like you are having a great summer! Cheers C&J
Thank you for this video.
You are welcome! We love the Porkies….cheers C&J
Those Echo trimmers are real work horses. I have been mowing multiple yards for a number of years and the Echo has been the best trimmer I've ever owned. I hope to get one of their chainsaws soon. I love what y'all are doing and am so jealous of your move to being off grid!
It performed great! That’s good news that you have used it for a number of years too! We will have to have you up when our campground is established. Enjoy your summer and cheers C&J
Looking great guys!
Awe thanks guys! Hope you are enjoying your summer?! Cheers C&J
Be careful allowing DNR access! I've no issue in principle, but my friends near Atlanta(mi), allowed similar, through-access to state land beyond theirs, and it became an absolute disaster. The DNR contracted logging co. absolutely destroyed the access trail with heavy equipment to the point that they could not access their own property. Neither the DNR or contractor would fix anything as they claimed it was "already that way" which was a complete lie. Total nightmare.
I second this. Go look at other areas they "thinned out" It becomes a mess. Set some expectations with them. I support managing forest, but when they do it, their contractors butcher the roads and the area is a mess.
We totally appreciate this as we have heard this before and were told to document, video record and have a contract in place. Fortunately for us it’s a few years out and have the opportunity for great advice / stories like your before we commit. Cheers C&J
Awesome advice and thanks for the heads up! That’s why we love this community….we have time before we commit to anything too. Hope you are having a wonderful summer?! Cheers C&J
@@KUEHLKUEST That's the best answer I think. Also be careful of your gate. If the loggers can't fit their equipment through it they will knock it down or cut a road around it, leaving you to face the replacement/repairs unless you have it meticulous documented! Beautiful property by the way!
