    I 100% agree with your comments on social media. I was in a high stress sales job. When I had a son 3 years ago I decided to leave that life to be present for him. I got a good job in a pharmaceutical plant close to home that paid MORE than my sales job. No more promoting myself on social media, no sales phone, emails, unhappy customers etc. I work 4 days and I have 4 days off. ZERO stress. I have a wonderful relationship with my boy Myles, have just welcomed my daughter Vivienne to the world and I am very happy. I got off Facebook and Instagram. My life is SO much better than it was and I have a much healthier relationship with my wife. Anybody who is unhappy with their lives please take an honest look at what is making you unhappy. I keep UA-cam around for the reasons Kyle mentioned. It makes me happy to see videos like this.

Good for connecting people who might not otherwise connect, a means for isolated folks to stay engaged & connected to loved ones and meet new people, etc. The dark side, well, I think we all see and know that.

    I’m 57 and have seen how big a problem media distraction is for the younger generation, how addictive and numbing it can be. I put off getting a smart phone for many years because I didn’t want to be tethered to one like so many people are. I finally bit the bullet and started using one about 2 yrs ago and appreciate the convenience of being able to stay better in touch with my family, see and take photos etc. but I have had to work at not letting it be a constant distraction. Good to hear you working at and encouraging others make an effort to be more present in the moment for ourselves, and present for loved ones and friends as well. It’s one of the greatest gift we can give ourselves and others.

What is the value of 155 'likes' on FB? Nothing when you compare it to spending an evening with a dear friend or working on your cabin! It's a change worth making. And thanks for the cross country ski take along. Loved it! All the best for a productive and happy 2023!

    My husband is a flip-phone guy and a photographer. He bought a 'smartphone' for it's camera feature and did not put it on a service plan. It doesn't have a SIM card. He downloads content through USB cable because it's an Android phone. Apple phones would use wireless. He uses it to make videos as well. Works great. He bought it 'open box' on Ebay for half the price. He's had it for 6 years! Still works great. Like where you are heading.

    I just bought a Jigsaw puzzle that I plan to do and make it permanent so I can hang it on my apartment door and listening to you describe life as it is for the majority of people, hit home. The scene reminds me of some of the shots you take of the snow falling onto the trees with the shades of blue in the background. In the middle of the picture is "LIFE IS GOOD" and then around the outside edges it says "THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO LIVE LIFE - AS IF THERE ARE NO MIRACLES, OF AS IF EVERYTHING IS A MIRACLE." It truly reminded me of how you live your life and how calming I find your videos. You need to approach a manufacturer of puzzles and make a deal, using your pictures and some of the words of wisdom you have. I would buy them for sure. Just not too much snow because I get
    tired of all the white. You would need other things like your cabin in the pictures. Just me thinking while watching you speak at the end of this video.☺☺

    What blows my MIND! IS AT 7.00 AM this morning! before I saw this Video I wrote a poem Called "Guest List" about this very thing!! About our inner circle of life and its driving force to keeping us grounded.The connection and parallels of T&C is just so compelling it just captivates everything I believe in and lived for all of my life since I was a young man.
    Thank you!!
    P.S. I'll send the poem to you look for it

  • @kimberlyc84
    @kimberlyc84 9 місяців тому

    I found your channel in late August/early September of 2023. My OCD wouldn't allow me to watch out of order. So I put them in order and started from the begining. I sort of caught up by mid December-ish.
    I was born with Rockaway Beach as my backyard. Raised in the little fishing town of Freeport, Long Island, which boasts being the "Boating & Fishing Capital of the East" (at least that's what the sign says🥰).
    My Alabama born parents relocated from TN to NY right after high school. I've been blessed to know the summer 'ease' in the south and the tenacity needed to accept, understand, and prepare for the autumns & especially the winters of the North.
    Of course, New England winters differ from mid Atlantic, & Long Island & City winters differ DRASTICALLY from Upstate winters altogether! But there's just something about the memories of knowing what it means when someone says 'it smells like snow's coming.' (If you know, you know😉); sharpening your blades on your skates, ready for when the ice bubble opens the rink; cleaning & freezing the catches for winter soups, checking those winter items to see what might need repair/donning or trading/replacing.
    But my most favorite adventures are tagging along w you after a trek through a town over in 'somewhere,' then coming back to that wood burning stove.
    My parents bought our llittle '32 Cape Cod in '75. Dad bricked up the fireplace and put in that little cast iron workhorse that heated both levels within an hour. Prepping enough wood was a year-round necessity. So dad partnered w a tree/wood cutting small family business after his shifts on the LIRR. He also applied his electrician and carpentry skills into transforming that abandoned little hut into a gem that's still holding strong. (I drove past it when I visited dad before his passing).
    I remember the first time I saw it. It reminded me of the Cape Cod Suzie wished for from 'Miracle on 34th Street.' (although I often wondered if she had to bring wood in daily & stoke the embers after school when she got home 🤔).
    But I digress. I just wanted to say, it's been wonderful seeing you grow and follow your passion, even when things seemed to be falling apart.
    I'm 53 now, oldest kiddos are military, youngest just graduated college & will embark on her own soon.
    So it's time for the downsize for us.
    Your video was the first one I'd seen of an Air BNB cabin. We did some research and, with your 'guidance' we were able to find just the right one.
    We 'discovered' we love gifting experiences and useful and handmade items to one another more than we knew. Ally's handmade coffee smoker (I think that's what it was) encouraged me to make walking sticks for our mountain cabin getaway. I inlaid the handle with shells from our beach trips and squashed pennies from state monuments we'd visited.
    He in turn printed out, mounted on canvas and hodge podged pics of various beaches, mountains, waterfalls, & lighthouses we'd visited. I knew we'd experienced lots of things, but it's something about being able to see it on canvas in such a unique way displayed in the house. You mentioned before how just a year ago, the cabin wasn't near as cozy as it is now. That's the beauty of working with a like-minded partner and keeping your private life private. That's the best way to stay sane!
    Ally has also inspired me to get back to my basics of self care with my own fire cider always ready to keep my immunity boosted and channelling into the positivity that is within even in the midst of chaos.
    I know I'm a year after this video, but I'm still here, right?
    Thanks for the inspiration.
    ~Best to you always!

    I was so looking forward to this video ! All the three parts were fantastic and so worth the time. Christmas under the snow was awesome to see, because I was craving to see some flakes and we did not have one here, nor for new year, even in the mountains (PA, Appalachian & Tuscarora) ! I was crying seeing this beauty too; Then the unexpected adventure in Canada really hit me and resonated with me. I wish I am able to do that one day too. And the last part of reflecting on our world, social media and what really matters hit me again; I got rid of all my social media, including Uber, Amazon and all this Sh*t too more than a year ago and I never regretted. I feel free. And as you said, it triggers so many contacts and unexpected discoveries and meetings, making you realize for the first time in your life how much some things matters, and others not at all ! I confess I still keep my Phone (not a flip phone) and computer with mostly YT, but I am really controlling that and reasonable. I don't scroll anymore. And I am way more happy this way. Wishing you and Ally this freedom and happiness, I am sure your will get there and hopefully will also inspire more people to do the same. Let's start living in a world we chose....

    I appreciate (!) what you had to say about social media! A recent experience in a doctor’s office was a good example. There were 3 of us that had been pre-screened and were waiting in a small waiting room for our procedures…… EVERYONE was on their phone!!!! That bothered me! So I said something a bit off the wall - we were at the optometrist’s office and we all had a bright paper dot above the eye to receive the procedure - mine was a different color so I commented on that! It sparked a lively conversation and within minutes we were all talking about road trips and our adventures…. It was so much fun that new comers joined in! It was an enriching experience!! Oh that we would put away our phones and learn to talk to each other again! -- I don’t think we realize how “dumbed-down” our society is becoming!

The amount of details you shot and the way you put them all together in the Montreal segment was exceptional! You could really get a feel and vibe for the place through seeing all these little details, including trash cans and graffiti! Also loved everything you had to say while you crunch walked down the road picking up branches and then attempting to start that old truck and the sound of it starting and your laughter was the delicious icing on the amazing cake!

    Self control/self editing is a very underrated skill….keep your phone for the gifts it facilitates and find your power to self control. This is the gift….you do not need to limit yourself to adjust your focus, if you do not have the skill today you will work towards the skill for tomorrow…here is the gift…editing your own being as beautifully as you edit your content….you are a gift…listen to your intuition…you no longer need the distraction. Being in “your moment” is what has pulled “us” your viewers in.
    ‘Stay true to you”…you cannot fail if you do.

    Thank you for sharing your trip to Quebec--watching it with my husband reminded us of being 30 in NYC with friends, discovering the city together in the rain. May 2023 bring us all health, happiness, and peace of mind.

    I shut down social media 6 years ago and never looked back. Incredible feeling of liberation, so detached, fluid, buoyant and free. UA-cam is my gig and subscriptions to great videos like yours. Love your videos 🙏🧚

    Thank you for your discussion on flip phones vs smart phones. I've never understood or experienced the lure that pulls people into their personal addiction to "smart" phones. I have resisted the idea of a smart phone as I do not want the stress, confusion, and over-stimulation that they cause for most people that I know. I see that it is difficult for so many people to spend 5 minutes away from their smart phone--to the point that it affects their job performance, their relationships with people around them, and they probably don't even realize the anxiety they are experiencing by continuous use of their phone. Bravo for being thoughtful enough and brave enough to even broach the subject!

    I secretly LOVE when snow is predicted here in GA.
    We transplanted here when my now 30-yr old was 9 months.
    We loaded the UHaul & hitched our little '88 multi-bondo patched Accord & headed out Dec 27, right after getting about 4 ft of snow which hadn't stopped accumulating. We left the day there was a clear moment.
    I remember us all double bundled like panda bears huddled in the truck & having to turn back around because we didn't realize that we could not get on the Jersey turnpike to keep going.
    We had to head through Pennsylvania and I just relished the adventure of the whole thing! Fresh bagels & thermoses of steaming tea w orange slices 😋
    Then when we got down here we saw people in shorts and slides🙄
    The minute there is any remote mention of some kind of frozen precipitation drives people to clear out the store shelves of milk, eggs & peanut butter! It usually melts within 2 hours 😂
    I have somewhat grown used to it........ But my Northern upbringing has taught me to always keep things on hand and gives me a sense of pride & nostalgia as I reminisce bringing in wood daily to keep our little 2foot stove heating that sweet Cape Cod cozy & toasty.😊
    We're looking to retire toward the Smokies where we know the snow will act right!😂

Now, you, Ally & the rest of the crew - hurry and get that cabin done 'cause us folks can't wait to see the end result! All the best to you all for 2023!!

    I couldnt wait to watch this video. Holiday season was fully captured. The kind that Christmas books are written about.. glad no damage to the cabin. MONTREAL looked awesome. Nice piece of the story. I used to play hockey there as a kid. Many fond memories... especially we were 14 yes old on travel hockey tourney and we slipped case of beer in our hotel room... good times!!! Thank you.. watched this on my 70inch tv.. awesome pic

I've been watching for about a 2 years now, don't know you from Adam, but just really enjoy everything you do! I especially appreciated your thoughts re: social media, Instagram scrolling and getting a flip phone. Cheers!

    Your content is captivating! The landscape photography is breathtaking, and you’re accompanying music or commentary are spell-binding- I hang on every note or softly spoken word, which paints a word picture of what I’m visually seeing. This old native Texan loves New England and treasure the memories of my trips, “up East.” Thank you, for sharing your beautiful woodlands with us.

    As usual Kyle, your videos are so enjoyable and relaxing! When I see that you have posted a video, I dive under a toasty warm blanket and allow you to become my eyes and ears. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your surroundings and making me feel like I have experienced being there in real time! I also agree with you 100% concerning social media. I was once a soc. med. user but had to give it up as I was experiencing mild anxiety due to so much negativity and people that are riddled with animosity…who needs that!! I much rather use my time to be productive than polluted!
    I noticed when you were clearing away the branches, there was a very old, yet charming rock wall in the back ground calling out to have it’s history shared, possibly in a future video?

    Awesome video Kyle. I saw it come up this morning but waited until tonight to watch so I could relax with a mug of wine and just enjoy. I really liked your thoughts at the end about disconnecting from all the social media. I have been thinking the same. I'm 40+ years older than you and often times wish for the simpler times of my youth. I may take you up on your challenge. As always, looking forward to your next video!!

    Thanks for the great video! I’m from Buffalo NY and have lived in South Florida for 25 years and I miss a cold snowy Christmas soooo much! I couldn’t make it back home this past year for Christmas so thank you for sharing your snowy Christmas. Yes your winter storms did destruction sort of like a hurricane down here! But at least none of the houses got blown off their foundations! Always have to be great full for something.😏😏❄️❄️❄️❄️. Oh my goodness yes thank you for bringing up the stinkin phone addiction! My husband said he’s getting a flip phone because of the same reasons. You are so right, I’ve been trying so hard to get away from my phone all the time. My son said Mom don’t you read anymore? You always had a book in your hand and now it’s your iPad.😔 so trying very hard to limit my phone use and READ BOOKS!
