You gentlemen are brilliant and that little tractor works beautifully where bigger ones woukd struggle first off. It can prepare for larger stuff and is just ideal.
That little tractor is owned by a resident up the lake who was so kind as to offer his help. We have met the most wonderful, caring people on this journey! 💚
We were so grateful!! The residents at the head of this lake are just absolutely amazing! We had no idea who we might find here but we are blown away ❤️ We are here to return the favours anytime they need us - we respect their privacy by not mentioning them or their lake but we truly appreciate them all.
I love watching equipment also. This was an amazing amount of work accomplished for one day! 👍♥️. I am so glad that it's Sandy. That is going to be such a beautiful shoreline! That smoked salmon looked delicious! Maybe she will show you how she made it. I'm so glad you guys have these nice friends. I'll be looking forward to the next one. 🤗
Wow! It's awesome to see how much a difference it makes when the forest is cleared in that area by the old cabin. I really like the footage on the boat!
Welcome to our channel! We just love connecting with and hearing from, subscribers to our journey! We are doing our best to work hard to make this island our permanent home out here in the wilderness of 🇨🇦. Thank you for watching! There is much more to come 💚
Oh Wow!! I'm loving this!! I'm getting so excited! Great job everyone!! LOOKING good, starting to come together! You two are amazing! Will watch more when get back from the grocery store,❤
I would most definitely metal detect all the cleared areas and the stock piles of dirt to see what treasures of the past you find. love your videos Ryan and Melodi.
@@mywildholm Well, I cant watch the new video until I finish watching the rest of your videos. Im almost caught up but It really is nice how you have documented your journey. We should be caught up by tonight.
Oh wow!! That's so great! This all started with just wanting to document for our family but other people started becoming interested and on it goes!! We love the community we've met and our subscribers are wonderful!!
Modern machinery is amazing 👏, what would takes weeks/months of backbreaking labor . Takes merely minutes with a backhoe/end-loader. It's ashame you can't salvage the Land Rover and present it to the Bird family as an heirloom ❤
Having Pepper has changed the game for us! We also love being able to dislodge the barge if it grounds... as well as do all the other wonderful things that we couldn't do before. No pretenses here... we will use the modern conveniences out here but we wanted a more self sustainable life where we aren't as dependant on others. Food, water, heat... plus we love the solitude of the wilderness and the beauty of nature. We've both worked very very hard during our lifetimes and this is the absolute best way we can think of to go into our sunset years together.
Hey guys, wow that barge has been a game changer for you. That smoked fish looked so delicious, I think it tasted better when you know it’s from a local source. The tractor made light work of creating a path for you guys. This is the kind of tractor we are hoping to get for our place. Another awesome video. Love watching your adventures on the Island. Cheers D &D
Yes!! The barge is a game changer in the biggest way possible. The fish was tasty, we will be getting a smoker for sure... We have some ideas about what we want to buy but it is such a hard decision... We've gone back and forth between wanting an excavator or a bulldozer or a skid steer or a track loader... Thank you for watching!!
Happy Wednesday ❤ Another great video 😊 The before and after pictures are awesome 👌 When I started my landscape design of my gardens I also took pics 📸 and boy can you see Y'all did alot of work
Almost missed this one..glad I caught it. i’ve always wanted to build one of those corrugated buildings. Still watching. I would like to be able to converse with you so we could set up a guest spot on my live, in the near future.
I tell ya you guys are doing awesome. When we got our land it was very overgrown and we went through with a bush hog (slasher in Australia) type mower and just smashed all the small srubs down. It made a massive difference. Have you thought about a little hydraulic hiab crane on the barge ( I think you should call him Barry 😂) Having a bit of machinery on you home will be a game changer like a little tractor with some implements for it would be so handy . I am hanging out for the next instalment of this undeliverable island adventure. 👍🏽👍🏽
Hey there!! You are right about that! We are actively shopping for machinery - it would make a huge difference in so many ways. Be sure to watch our upcoming episodes for more on that. Thank you so much for watching! It's been an amazing experience in every way!
How's she goin'? Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking 'bout!!! What a difference an afternoon makes eh. I bet it makes Ryan think having a compact tractor would be a great add for developing your homestead!!! And it would too!! Take care!!
We are definitely shopping for one! Ryan is looking at a track loader - he thinks that might be the best way to go for the island. What is your advice on getting something that would be good?
@@mywildholm Well as you know I have a Massey Ferguson sub-compact GC2300, so I tend to be partial towards 'red' tractors!! LOL A tracked loader would be nice but they come with a lot more maintenance. Just sayin'. Take care!!
Yes, it is not the biggest tractor, but the front end loader was certainly useful and we are most thankful for the help and generosity of its owner to lend a hand like he did. It is through the random acts kindness from selfless people like this that we are heartened. It helps to bolster our faith in humanity. -Ryan
Welcome to our channel! Thank you for watching. Unfortunately the lovely old cabin is in disrepair. Very dangerous and cannot be renovated. I do want to preserve as much as we can to re-purpose some materials though.
That tractor actually belongs to one of the locals who was so kind to help clear some land for us. It worked great for what we needed it to do, and we were impressed with his ability as an operator. Just curious... what type of tractor would you recommend? Thanks for watching! - Ryan

This is fascinating. Love from The Cotswolds 🇬🇧 xx❤
You are from such a beautiful place yourself!
That’s so awesome of them two guys to help you out like that it’s really hard to find nice people like that anymore

We had no idea who we might find here but we are blown away ❤️ We are here to return the favours anytime they need us - we respect their privacy by not mentioning them or their lake but we truly appreciate them all.
You accomplished so much in this video. It’s a blessing to have the right equipment to get the job done. Thank you for sharing.
This is all such a joy! Such an adventure! Each day we encounter something new 🌞 Thank you for watching 💚

Thank you so much! It's actually starting to take shape and it feels so wonderful! We really appreciate your support!
That smoked fish looked amazing. I can’t imagine a building made for lots of snow. We don’t get much snow in South Carolina.
Oh yes...that fish was incredible! ❄ Comes in abundance here... 💚
Wow! It's awesome to see how much a difference it makes when the forest is cleared in that area by the old cabin. I really like the footage on the boat!
Thank you so much! There is much more to come - it definitely is exciting to see the transformation...
That's a beautiful property I'm happy for you folks I hope you can turn into your dream!!!

Oh man! Talk about a LOT of work! But wow it looks amazing! Definitely worth it 👏🏻😊 and look at that lakeside view 😍
Eeek yes!! But it's just so worth it right?! 😊 The lake, the trees, the peace and calm...those night stars 🌟 it's all just a dream!! 💞

Good morning Jamie 🌞 Thank you so much for your support - it makes us so happy to share this with you!
I would most definitely metal detect all the cleared areas and the stock piles of dirt to see what treasures of the past you find. love your videos Ryan and Melodi.
Thank you so much friends!! We have a brand new episode coming out today at 12:00 CST! 😊 Thank you for watching!

I like this episode. He looks like a manly man, standing at the helm of his ship, eating cereal! I can see things are starting to really happen now!
Manly-man... lol... I wish! I am just trying to survive. Although I do think I get a little tougher every day! Thanks for watching. -Ryan
Please remove that beautiful Series One Land Rover and have it restored.
We are seeing that more and more! We just went over and checked it out again. You'll see footage soon.
Hey guys,
wow that barge has been a game changer for you.
That smoked fish looked so delicious, I think it tasted better when you know it’s from a local source.
The tractor made light work of creating a path for you guys.

You need to get a chainsaw saw mill to cut your own loges into the lumber you need .😊❤
You have to stay tuned 😆 we have a surprise coming up soon!
Happy Wednesday ❤ Another great video 😊 The before and after pictures are awesome 👌 When I started my landscape design of my gardens I also took pics 📸 and boy can you see Y'all did alot of work
Oh thank you! To watch the progression has been quite something! From woods to a cozy place - hang on for this season 🙌 💚
That Land Rover will be worth the work to get it out
We were surprised to see that there is a motor in it still.
Amazing how nicely that area cleared up!
It really is!
Great to have some clear area to enable access.
It has made all the difference - we only had a patch of land to sit before but this is a new era!!
Almost missed this one..glad I caught it. i’ve always wanted to build one of those corrugated buildings. Still watching. I would like to be able to converse with you so we could set up a guest spot on my live, in the near future.
We'd love to talk to you! Our email is hello@mywildholm.com Thank you so much for watching!! 💜
Watching Ryan drive the Barge reminded me of what forest Gump looked like when he was driving his new shrimp boat. LOL Just sayin'!
😂 100% - oh man, reading your comments is great fun! 😀
Awesome! New subscriber!
Hey there!!! Thank you for watching. We love that you've joined our adventure!
I tell ya you guys are doing awesome.
When we got our land it was very overgrown and we went through with a bush hog (slasher in Australia) type mower and just smashed all the small srubs down.
It made a massive difference.
Have you thought about a little hydraulic hiab crane on the barge ( I think you should call him Barry 😂)
Having a bit of machinery on you home will be a game changer like a little tractor with some implements for it would be so handy .

That’s a lawnmower with a fel!

Wow wonderful beautiful 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you so much! We are having the most wonderful time planning for this beautiful space!
No snakes I hope!!!
No snakes. Perhaps it gets too cold in the winter for them to be able to survive. Maybe little garters, but we've never seen one.
Should have left that john Deere at the dealership and bought a Kubota they can handle twice what they advertise!!!!
Welcome to our channel! That's not our John Deere. It was a lake resident who was kindly helping us out for a few hours. Keep watching 😉
❤❤
Thank you for watching dear @AnneDaleHomestead!
How did they get the old
Land Rover in there ? Pull it out and sell it!
Apparently the father of the group brought it over on a raft from the mainland. Interesting people.
Just found your video. Are you guys restoring that cabin to live in?
Welcome to our channel! Thank you for watching. Unfortunately the lovely old cabin is in disrepair. Very dangerous and cannot be renovated. I do want to preserve as much as we can to re-purpose some materials though.
Get a real tractor..
That tractor actually belongs to one of the locals who was so kind to help clear some land for us. It worked great for what we needed it to do, and we were impressed with his ability as an operator. Just curious... what type of tractor would you recommend? Thanks for watching! - Ryan
A bigger john deere
@@mywildholmanything with a manual transmission, the hydrostatic tractors don't hold up.
This tractor isn't ours, it belongs to a local lake resident and we were grateful for the help. Stay tuned, things are about to change on our island 😁
Hi new friends. This is amazing. Glad you reached out on Facebook. 👋🏼 Sue
Hey Sue! Just watched you power that big machine around - my kind of girl!! (We just subbed too) Thank you for watching! 👋 Melodi 😂
