    We install solar panels on the roof of Emily Aisling's cabin with a power bank located inside to provide electricity to her cabin.
    Afterwards, we take a few days off and head into the backcountry of Algonquin Park in Ontario Canada to camp, canoe, hike, forage and fish. We cook all of our meals on a campfire, including beef tacos, fish tacos, beef rib steaks and braising ribs, bacon and eggs, pancakes, fried white and sweet potatoes and more. I make herbal tea with fireweed, cedar and spruce, a much needed warm drink after dealing with intermittent rain and incessant strong winds. Cali, our Golden Retriever, spends most of her time swimming, chasing squirrels and has a run-in with a mink after it steals one of our fish and hides it in the rocks in the lake.

    My dad was a huge outdoorsman. It was him who instilled in me my love of nature and everything the outdoors has to offer. We would fly with our canoes into the back lakes of Canada to fish. He had me whitewater rafting down the Colorado River by the time I was 10. He was a pilot and as soon as I was big enough to be strapped into a seat he had me doing barrel roles in our old bi-wing Stearman biplane.

      That is life, I still get to hang out with my parents which is more that a lot of people can.

    A wonderful episode camping with your daughter. The location was epic. It seemed like such a peaceful campsite right by the lake.

    This video brings back memories of my dad and I doing the very same thing. In a week, he will be gone a year. We fished, hiked, hunted, foraged, made tea and coffee, and had lots to eat on the fire. His example taught me to spend much time with my own kids, and still do. And they in return take time off their lives to want to spend time with me. Good thing you shooed Cali from that Mink. Nasty critter. I'll be interested in coming episodes on how the Ecoflow system is doing. I am quite interested in this system after seeing this video. Thanks, Shawn. This was an excellent video.

    Your camera captures the moon and life in general, just fantastic. The part were your little girl was fishing on the rock and the lake was glistening behind her, just an awesome capture. I love these videos, great job!

    Reminds me of my dad and I fishing on Mc Kenzie Lake, Armstrong, Ontario. Brings me right back to 1975, brings tears to my eyes, happy ones. I can smell the lake, the trees, feel that NW breeze on my face, nothing like it.

    Your Algonquin Canoe solo trip videos are what first brought me to your channel years ago, long before the first cabin build. I always found them to be peaceful. I love that you are out there with your daughter now. I'll be going with my own daughter in a week or so, too. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    This was great watching you fish and camp with your daughter. At camp we would only fish as a family. As far as stuff like this I never fished with my dad. Would have loved to but, he didn’t really know how to do things with me. We would watch the rain together and he would drive the boat for me to waterski. Love the sandy bottom and watching Cali. She is a beautiful dog. Love her with her toy when laying there it was right there.
