    This is my fav. video now. I love your story telling. My husband and I are patreons, “Faith Adventure Chaser’s.” We look forward to each week as you share your life. We love your story telling style and your love for the island. Thank you for giving us the history of it. It’s fitting that you would be the one to tell it, because of your love and connection to it. Keep up the amazing stories Dan.

    Hi Dan, a new sub from the West of Ireland here! I live in a fishing village in County Galway. Ive often heard people say that Canadas scenery is similar to Irelands, it is in someways from the beautiful scenes in your videos. Ive had a fascination with Canada since I was a child and all but forgot about that until your channel pops up in my feed. What made a new sub?? The gorgeous animals! Wow! As soon as I saw them in the water, so cute! And the snowy scenes. Oh to have grown up through deep snowy winters must have been such fun!!! This is the second video I am watching on your channel. My heartfelt condolesces on the passing of your cousin, gone way too soon RIP 😢

    • @danvanstralen
      @danvanstralen  День тому +2

      Thanks! I hope you will enjoy the videos! Ireland is one of my dream destinations, and I’ve heard that Galway has some really interesting sites to see. The animals in this area are indeed beautiful although we will see less of them as winter arrives. Not because they aren’t there but because most change colours to white which camouflages them perfectly. Again thank you! It’s very difficult losing such a close friend. 👍🏻

    Thanks for the Tour, I always wondered about the island, and where everything is situated. What great memories, Lando is so cute as a puppy. You all have been blessed and you show how much you appreciate it, and don't take it for granted. What you're doing now, I see your future dreams coming true.

    If you get a chance watch a film called Alone in the Wilderness. It’s a story of a man named Dick Pronneke who built a cabin in the wilderness. His craftsmanship was remarkable and you may see something you’d want to incorporate into your cabin. It’s a black and white film and he did most of the filming and editing himself. Maybe the first UA-camr 😅. Thanks for the tour of the island and cabins

    • @danvanstralen
      @danvanstralen  2 дні тому +2

      Your welcome I’m glad you enjoyed it! That’s my favourite movie! I’ve also read his book! He definitely was one of the first UA-camrs, it’s amazing what he was able to accomplish all by himself.

    Hi from France ! what an atmosphere ! congrats for your good taste in restoring this whole island with its antique buildings. Could you make an episode where you would show which tools you are using, mixing antique ones with new technology ones (battery etc) in order to explain the way you are restoring the buildings ? Same for gardening : what can you grow under such a climate, do you have perpetual fruit trees or only doing veggies. Thanks and keep going, you are so inspiring...

    Dan, I just enjoyed your video on a rainy, damp and grey day here in Germany. Showing Lando as a puppy just melts my heart. Lando has such good character and a great personality. You are all so fortunate so have the opportunity to live off grid on an island in the middle of nature. I am a big fan of the videos your parents share as well and wish you alle well. Your family gives me hope for this world that loving and caring for each other is lived. Thanks so much!

Also loved the Lando back story & younger footage as a pup! So precious. He really lucked out when your Family chose him & all the Epic adventures since! I think your narration, editing & videography of this was one of your best yet! Thanks so much for sharing. 🌟🙏✨

    Hi Dan. Kicking Horse Coffee , Tim Hortons Hot Chocolate, YES we are Canadian aren't we ?? We drink the same Coffee/Hot Chocolate here at home.
    At my Grammy's house (back in the day) she had an old Cast Iron Wood Burning Stove, (In the basement) when I was little. I never learned if that stove was ever upstairs in her kitchen, or if it was used in the basement, in the 30's and 40's. She also had one of those round agitator wash tubs, with the roller ringer for wet clothes before she hung them outside, before they bought a conventional dryer.
    Come Tuesday this week, we finally hit Low Single Digits by day and Minus Single Digit temperatures every night, for the next few days in Montreal.

    Thanks for a great video Dan. I always like a little retro because I don't always recall everything but I do repeat-watch a lot of your family's videos. I have enjoyed the scenes of 5 years ago up to today's. I really loved the tour and seeing the other cabins and learning their history; it sounds so fascinating and I can just imagine you among all your cousins in those places having a ball. My family is large too but I only had 50 first cousins and 17 are deceased, but in the middle of the last century we had some huge reunions. I am avid about seeing you finish the small cabin you are re-building and will continue to pass info as I find it. It's rainy here in Louisiana today so I might just binge watch some of your past shows and some of Peter's and your folks. Have a great week.

    Thank you for sharing the information regarding the origin of the settlement of the island. I love love love history, especially the less publicized events. I love seeing how people had the ideas, the foresight and knowledge to building and creating such wonderful places. I would not mind living on an island at all, any place that has peace, quiet, and security. I miss hearing the sounds of birds singing, the black birds or grackles have destroyed the nests of all the sparrows and hummingbirds so they have not been around in years. I love nature. It has such a soothing and comforting peace that can not be duplicated.
    Thank you again for sharing the beautiful history and cabins of your family. There are a lot more memories to make with new generations. More memories to pass down to the next generation so the respect, love, and guardianship of the past can be carried on.

Thinking of him now might hurt a great deal and it always will. However I have found with time, the memories of my loved ones bring me peace of mind knowing they are looking out for me. Prayers for you and your family.
