Ok we NEED to know... how many of you have experienced such extreme temperatures?! It was really hard to find the words of just how COLD it was. Weather events like this are an important reminder of just how serious extreme conditions like this can be, even more so that our home is a Geodesic Dome with VERY little insulation 😂. The fact we spent all that time this summer re-insulating the dome was our saving grace, truthfully we would've had to leave the dome had we not been proactive. Overall, it's a pretty awesome feeling that no matter what weather systems head our way, the dome is always going to be safe and warm!! But in all seriousness, lets all collectively cross our fingers and toes that there's no more extreme weather this year!!!
We hit -27c here in Sussex New Brunswick with that cold snap. I don't know what the wind chill was, but our little house was creaking with the cold. Had to turn the backup baseboard heaters on along with the mini split to keep the temp at 21c in the house..but on the up side, no frozen pipes, just a warm place for me and the kitties.
Back when I lived in the Netherlands we could have temperatures like -20 but not often. Luckily I live near Lisbon now where it rarely freezes. Just watching you guys (how heartwarming it is) gives me the chills. Brrrrrr I hope nothing freezes off :D
You know what is so heartwarming about you? The love, warmth and happiness you share with the 5 of you in your little, self build world. Even in -45 °C ❤️
Watching with my two kids. My daughter (12) asks me "are they married" I asked why, half expecting some deeper questions, fear not that was just my generational upbringing showing through. She just wanted to say.... you guys make such a cute couple.
Please stay warm and safe ALL of you! I was in a panic when y’all went to the hot tub! I’ll be thinking about y’all and praying for all till next Sunday to make sure everyone is ok after getting out of the hot tub ❤️🤞
Thanks for sharing the difference between C/F for us in the states 👍I love the lead ends when you work together they are hilarious. Please stay safe and warm along with Charlie,Eddie and squirrel. Big warm hugs to all of you.
As a stupid American, I appreciate the Fahrenheit conversions on the screen so my brain understands xoxo. Glad you guys kept warm! I'm also in the NE and caught the bottom of that blast, it was C O L D - but nothing compared to what you guys went through, and in a dome!!! Happy Sunday
Wow, you two are such troopers!! As a citizen of the US, I appreciate the Fahrenheit conversions in order to learn what the rest of the world knows. Your sunny outlook brightens my Sundays and I truly appreciate your joyful content.
An easy way to convert the temps when above the freezing point, is take the F temp, subtract 30, and then half it. So 80F minus 30 is 50, divide by 2 is 25C. Or the reverse is 30C is 30x2 = 60, plus 30 is 90F. It gets to within a couple of degrees F, which is close enough for most things. For below the freezing point, 40C is 40F, so you just need to know that's really freaking cold, even for us Canadians. :)
I saw Lily go outside when you had the door open, silently prayed that you had noticed it, too. Those brave furbabies have no clue how awful the weather can be! Glad you got her back inside!
Love the conversations. It makes your story feel so much warmer and I learn so many details about these projects. I’m so impressed by the quality of your videos. I also am loving the intros. Great smooth onboarding for the people who are just meeting you. I would’ve never left that dome in that cold though!!! I barely left my bed during the freeze! 😊 😂 Thank you for letting us in. Have a great week.
I ❤️ LOVE the dog/cat interactions. Two different species,communicating and Playing with each other! My 2 huskies and 2 house cats are such entertainment. So much more mentally healthy than anything on corporate t.v.
Haha Todd's mind and one liners with you, Tyler knowing exactly what he's thinkin is so bloody funny, never change guys, ya a perfect match made in heaven🥰 Love the garage doors and pleased you and your fur babies stayed safe n warm together. Love Rose xxx
I can't imagine surviving the temps that came through in a dome. It only got to -33 with -38 with wind chill here in the part of Southern Ontario I live in and I am in a nice warm cozy apartment with no need to go out. You boys have the true Canadian homesteading spirit, makes this Grandma proud, lol 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
The lowest here in TO was -40 a few years ago.... stay warm!! And yes, Squirrel is soooo beautiful. Please show her more often in your videos. The scene with Tod and Squirrel was just gorgeous!
OMG I love you guys there were so many Minds gutter moments that had me cracking up. The lubrication one had me crying because of the "non" look from the installer. I swear I saw him not want to use that word. but I new what was coming!!! The dome looked so cozy great video guy!
“Forever in the gutter”………… Me..SAME 😂 It’s so cute because it seems to make you Tyler blush when Todd makes is little innuendos.☺️ I hope you never edit those out because it makes watching your love for each other that much more real.
Totally in love with the view at night there with the lights and snow, nothing but pure tranquility. Couldn’t imagine what it’s like to experience. Stay warm guys and the fur babies 🥰
Shockingly, it wasn’t AT ALL! Our skin and body temperature was so hot from the water that even after we got inside we were sweating for at least 30 mins!!
Hope you guys are warm enough this morning! I simply LOVE y'all's interactions!! And the innuendos with Tyler's smirk Make me LAUGH!! Thank you for letting me be part of your wonderful world!!
My husband Mark and I worked in Eskimo villages for 23 years. We lived in the Arctic Circle for 15 years on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Then we moved to the south and lived in Anaktuvuk Pass for eight years this was in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The temperature was often -25 with the wind chill bringing the temp down to -50. That's Fahrenheit. We enjoyed our life in the village and didn't mind the cold. You learned to dress for it then you stayed warm. Truly we miss the village life especially the children.
You know it's Sunday, when Tyler and Todd are on our screens. Having my breakfast and going to watch the vlog. Love you guys, from Vancouver BC Canada 🇨🇦 🌈🤗❤️👍
I saw Tyler‘s comment on Instagram about rude people leaving rude comments and I wish I knew what we followers could do to guard you from that hatred. I wish I had veto power or blocking power. I am so grateful to you to both of you, for sharing your lives, you’re both absolute sweethearts, for sharing everything you’ve built, your passion for off grid, living, even your dogs and cat. I hate to think that the public stupidity of said rude people could take the joy that you create away from us. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing all you do.
Hi you two from the UK, we have been complaining about -3C, how on earth can you stay so happy and cheerful with -44. Take care and we both admire everything that you do. Such determination and resilience from both of you. Our best wishes and love from the UK
Omg! Haha! "They're the OG of paper." I literally laughed out loud. Why isn't there a book titled, "Todd's Catchphrases?" 😂 I hope y'all are staying warm and cozy with the furbabies. Until next time, sending positive energy and positive vibes. Love you guys!
I have a squirrel that looks exactly like yours. Only her name is Meeka and we rescued her out in the middle of Nevada desert. Someone had thrown her away. She was only about 9 months and pregnant. We have now had her since 2016 and she’s the best cat we have ever had.
It's nice you do the work to convert the temperatures for us backward folks in the states. When I'm traveling, I use a few shortcuts rather than trying to do the math. One I call the rules of fours: -40 is the same in both. 4 Celsius is 40 Fahrenheit. 40 Farenheit is 104 Celsius. For 82 Fahrenheit simply reverses the numbers to get 28 Celsius. On a tangentially related note, when my mother was in her mid eighties she started to give her age in celsius. She made it well into her 101st year (or about 38 in celsius).
Your kindness, devotion, teamwork, honor, respect, honesty, and love for each other melts the -44 degree which then becomes just an outside condition while you both snuggle comfortably inside. The wild frontier is being the best teacher to you both and thus far you have a score of A+ for all the efforts you have invested in each other. Keep up the good work. BYW, I'm under the covers because it's freezing cold here at Kokoiki Hawaii at 69f.
Yes, we could do w/69F. Live in NH USA. Temps in Central NH were -30F below zero. Atop Mt Washington (the White Mtns), there was a /world/ record of -100F below zero with the wind chill. It felt great to be snuggling in our new cherry wood handmade (not by us) sleigh bed. Even so, it was incredibly chilly. We didn’t venture out for 3 days!! Excellent vid, as always. Lube is very important, you both know it. Haha. 🤣💙🌟🌀~Marirose
I love y’all.. I love your conversations. It’s so awesome to see how y’all speak to each other. I really feel the love and compassion… even through the snarky tone at times 😂 but seriously… love y’all so much.
Oh my Dynamic Duo, my Favorite Boys. I love the door you went with for the workshop, it looks so nice. Todd, I just knew from the look on your face when the Installer said lube the first time that we were in for some laughs. And it just got better, Tyler knows you so well. Poor Squirrel, she didn't look happy about being outside. I love how the two of you love each other. Stay warm. Sending Love and Hugs to Tyler, Todd and their Lil Family 💙💙🐶🐶🐱
It's soooo cold, cover windows, put up drapes, get extra firewood and wine and then you go outside and TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF!! Ay-yi-yi as my Grandma would say..... 😂
The conversations are very helpful. I usually pause videos so I can do the math. But this way, I can binge your videos without the numbers fighting in my head to get out.
I CAN RELATE 100000 percent about your deep freeze weather!!!! We, Buffalo NY & surrounding areas, suffered sever historic snow/ice/wind/-39 degree temps not including wind chill factor. It's DANGEROUS. Lives can/have been lost. I'm so glad y'all didn't take it lightly and took it very serious. Love the storage of wood idea 💡 in the mansion idea...just genius. FYI...so happy y'all are doing good 😊. Hugs and love y'all's way 🥰 God bless!!!!
@@junehodsdon8037 It was unbelievable. Clean up is still on going. The loss of life was tough for everyone. I pray it never happens again. Have a blessed day.
@@wendypilling3619 it was heartbreaking. 20+ years ago we had to drive through Buffalo to get home during a similar storm. Cars everywhere, whiteouts etc. Thankfully we made it out alive. They closed the road behind us. Of course we've dealt with type of weather many times, but it's a whole other animal when you're trying to drive through it because you don't want to die in your car. We had you all deep in our hearts.💖
@@junehodsdon8037 I'm so glad it turned out well for you and your family. It's so terrifying and trying to stay calm is a feat to conquer.... terrible feeling. Yes, your weather is quite difficult as well.... I've seen some nasty ones in your area. Be safe! God bless.
OK, I know I can't be the only one thinking this is a perfect setup for frostbite! Get your butts back in the house NOW!! The new garage door is great! Only problem is, now you can't close the door and ignore how much stuff you've tucked in there. LOL! Unless you guys intend to stoke the hot tub constantly you'll be best off to drain it. If the water freezes it will swell and break the tub. I'd hate to see that happen. Speaking as a farm brat, I'd keep Squirrel and the boys inside as much as possible. That cold could be damaging to their lungs if they're out in it for too long... same goes for you two, as well! Sending as much warm hugs as I can muster. Love you both bunches! -MD Oh, and a thought about the tractor... "Dirty Gerty" ?
🐈⬛🐕❄Yet again, an episode that filled me with smiles and laughter and tears - THIS is what makes you the highlight of my week (and I watch Apple TV+, not just UA-cam, so the bar is pretty friggin' high guys, and you go over virtually every time). Thank you for all the effort you put into this - love you all, and hope you're staying warm! Sending you a warm hug from sunny South Africa (we're having torrential rains in Mpumalanga and Limpopo at the moment - if you Google flooding in the Kruger National Park you'll see what my 'backyard' looked like this year) P.S. I'm so enjoy when you guys have gutter minds - I missed it in your videos for a while - this video felt like one of those 'for old times sake' vlogs where everything was just nostalgic and funny and lovely - so good I'm probably going to watch it again before the week is over! Oh! That reminds me - PLEASE update the playlist section on your website, I love your music choices and have a whole playlist dedicated to it... MUCH love from Nelspruit, SA Ron XOX ☀
I have a different comment. You two really helped me through the holidays. My partner of almost 20 years passed away the beginning of July. It has really done a number to my depression that I already medicate. I started watching you regularly last year so Christmas Eve thru our anniversary on January first, I binged watched your older vlogs. So I wanted to thank you in getting me through one of the hardest times of my life.
WOW!!! I didn't think it was possible to get that cold!!! My goodness!!! Hope you guys will be ok!!! Snuggle up together and bring in the critters for a group snuggle!!! Stay warm sweeties!!! Good time to make some good ol' homemade soup, or stew!!! Much love and big fat hugs!!! 🍃🤗😍🍃
Glad you survived. Thank goodness you had time to prep - imagine even 50 years ago that would've been hit or miss on the forecast. Keep each other warm! Have a great week!
Good morning guys so glad to see that you are doing well. Please be safe and warm so happy to see the video my favorites. I wait for y’all every Sunday.❤
A Balaclava in a hot tub is the most Canadian thing I've ever seen lol. Here in Winnipeg, it hits zero and everyone is wearing shorts and drinking slurpees! Haha
We haven't experienced temps THAT low, but on day 2 of living in our new cabin, it got down to 2F and we lost power. It made us wonder what we got ourselves into, but we survived and persevered! And yep, the temp conversions are definitely handy! Glad y'all made the best of it. Cheers from the southeast US.
run at freezing night with firewood 'back to nature', well, so-so evolution of future way of life. I've had enough of this 'back to the nature' in my childhood. and I definitely don't want it back in my life. people did not just settle in villages and cities for no reason. if everyone lives alone in the forest, then who will work in factories to make solar panels and all these tools. these experiments 'back to nature alone in the woods' are good for young, healthy and without children. I know how to be the only child in the middle of nowhere. this is no fun and 'inspiring' at all.
I look forward to your videos every week. My amazing wife just passed on the 10th of February at 58 years old, and I am devastated. When I saw your video on my homepage I was thrilled. You both took me to a happy place, so thank you.🙂
Hi guys! All the prep is right on the mark. That you have all you need, in advance, is quite similar to hurricane prep in the "lower 50". Having said that, I have lived a good deal of my life in the Minnesota Lake District, South Dakota, and Nebraska, where we saw -60F (-51C) on multiple occasions through the years. All one need do is be prepared (yes, was a Boy Scout for about 30 years, man and boy). Having and using the right clothing, shoes/boots, jackets, gloves, and hats/hoods is what allows you to go out and do whatever you need or want to do. Burying your "lines" [water, gas, electricity] and having the right wall and window insulation at least available makes you well-prepared. Snuggles and snacks, great idea! Wine and hot chocolate (with a shot of whatever added 🙂 Now all you need is a big huge quilt 😉😉♥♥😎😎🙏🙏
You got Ruby...now you need Jade. Are you able to get double pane windows and a door for the dome? Hope you were able to keep warm. I'm a Florida boy...I'm freezing at 60°f!!! (Love the temp conversions.)
Gosh Squirrel really adores you !🐾 How you ever had the nerve to go into the hot tub at -46° is beyond me...what if house door got locked by jumping dogs or cat and you were out in cold...no phone,no keys or warm clothing.. or be glad you're not old with an imagination running wild.The garage door is Fab ! Never saw one quite like it.... covering all the windows is an excellent idea... keep the drafts and seam freezers at bay.Soon the Spring will come I just know it.Until then be wise,safe and well fed.
(02/16/23) You guys ought to have an airlock between the outside door and inside door to keep the heated air inside your dome and in summer, cooled air in. If you have winters in future like -44°C, you’ll appreciate having it.
Thanks for the temperature conversions. I almost freaked when Squirrel bolted out the door when you were carrying wood inside. Knowing cats, I figured she would explore a bit even in the snow. I was relieved when you let her back inside. I hope that this is the worst weather you have to face this winter and that the rest of the winter will be milder.
If we don’t get -40 several times through the winter we are surprised and thankful. Side note regarding the wasps. First get a jug of household ammonia, this will neutralize almost any insect bite you could get, in fact I would try it on any kind of unknown bite. So far as wasp or bee stings it works instantly, not kidding, got stung on the lip by a bee last summer right before work and when I got there no one could tell. It was completely gone. Works on horsefly, deerfly and mosquito bites too. Call her Clementine.❤
It’s hard to handle such a cold weather like you went through! But always I’m learning from your positive energy how to handle the hard tasks. Much love❤️
I live in the south IN state of Tennessee, we were in the mid 50's on a thursday, it dropped to a -4 degrees, 2 days before xmas, it busted my pipe for water, we are not equipped for that kind of cold weather, many in the south are not, but life goes on.....Love you 2 and your furbabys, you have come so far with all you have done there, thank you for sharing with everyone, i enjoy watching your story unfold, stay warm and much love to you both and your furkids ❤
”Don’t. Don’t say it. You have a problem.” 🤣 Wow, I had no clue that you were freezing there….I live in the Nordics but THAT IS COLD!🥶 And one more thing: Todd’s beard! No need to say more…how cute he looked with that thick white beanie!😍 And Tyler is always🥰 Ok, byeee!
OMG! Here in Maryland we think 22 was cold! You guys are hysterical, resourceful, and great examples for ALL couples everywhere! Stay warm! Hugs and love.
I saw the weather forecast for your region and wondered how you were enduring it. At least, clearly, you survived it! Hurrah! So many of the things you do awe me. (I have two hands full of thumbs.) But I think the confidence with which you measure and, accurately, cut things is my standout!
So glad you have the warmth of the dome to help you through these freezing temperatures! We had a week of minus 40 in December and it was brutal!!! I hope you survived the cold, and that it has warmed up already for you! See you next week!
Thanks guys for showing you are ok. We have friends in the region and everyone was batting down the hatches lol I love your conversations!! And your new workshop door, very cool! I live in Northern California but I have never experienced anything close to what you are going thru. Lived in Washington near Seattle for about 18 months and had an actual snowy winter but nothing like you guys are getting. Take care of yourselves and the fur babies and we will see you next week. ;)

Very true. Nothing greater than watching love between two of anyone, even animals! ❤️

You’re so welcome!! Happy to hear you’re finding it helpful, I’ll definitely keep including it ❤
If it helps, -40C is the same as -40F
For us south of the border in the U.S. the conversion is immensely helpful. Thanks for thinking of us!
Stay safe guys! I can’t imagine living where it gets that cold! I’m in Mississippi!
Pls keep the conversations in your vlogs. They show your way of communication, which is heartwarming to see 🥰

Yep. I love your conversations. It shows your personalities and sometimes I even rewind because they are so cute or funny.
We appreciate that so much!! Have an awesome week and we'll see you Sunday!

It's nice you do the work to convert the temperatures for us backward folks in the states. When I'm traveling, I use a few shortcuts rather than trying to do the math. One I call the rules of fours: -40 is the same in both. 4 Celsius is 40 Fahrenheit. 40 Farenheit is 104 Celsius. For 82 Fahrenheit simply reverses the numbers to get 28 Celsius.
On a tangentially related note, when my mother was in her mid eighties she started to give her age in celsius. She made it well into her 101st year (or about 38 in celsius).
Your kindness, devotion, teamwork, honor, respect, honesty, and love for each other melts the -44 degree which then becomes just an outside condition while you both snuggle comfortably inside. The wild frontier is being the best teacher to you both and thus far you have a score of A+ for all the efforts you have invested in each other. Keep up the good work. BYW, I'm under the covers because it's freezing cold here at Kokoiki Hawaii at 69f.
Oh my gosh!!! Hahaha what I wouldn’t give for 69F 😂
Yes, we could do w/69F.
Live in NH USA. Temps in Central NH were -30F below zero. Atop Mt Washington (the White Mtns), there was a /world/ record of -100F below zero with the wind chill. It felt great to be snuggling in our new cherry wood handmade (not by us) sleigh bed. Even so, it was incredibly chilly. We didn’t venture out for 3 days!!
Excellent vid, as always.
Lube is very important, you both know it. Haha.
🤣💙🌟🌀~Marirose
I love y’all.. I love your conversations. It’s so awesome to see how y’all speak to each other. I really feel the love and compassion… even through the snarky tone at times 😂 but seriously… love y’all so much.
Oh my Dynamic Duo, my Favorite Boys. I love the door you went with for the workshop, it looks so nice. Todd, I just knew from the look on your face when the Installer said lube the first time that we were in for some laughs. And it just got better, Tyler knows you so well. Poor Squirrel, she didn't look happy about being outside. I love how the two of you love each other. Stay warm. Sending Love and Hugs to Tyler, Todd and their Lil Family 💙💙🐶🐶🐱
Hey lynettecarner thank you so much for this comment, really means more than you know!
It's soooo cold, cover windows, put up drapes, get extra firewood and wine and then you go outside and TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF!! Ay-yi-yi as my Grandma would say..... 😂
Y'all are way braver than I am getting in the hot tub in that weather!
The conversations are very helpful. I usually pause videos so I can do the math. But this way, I can binge your videos without the numbers fighting in my head to get out.
I CAN RELATE 100000 percent about your deep freeze weather!!!! We, Buffalo NY & surrounding areas, suffered sever historic snow/ice/wind/-39 degree temps not including wind chill factor. It's DANGEROUS. Lives can/have been lost. I'm so glad y'all didn't take it lightly and took it very serious. Love the storage of wood idea 💡 in the mansion idea...just genius. FYI...so happy y'all are doing good 😊. Hugs and love y'all's way 🥰 God bless!!!!
Buffalo had a real disaster, we were following it here on the news in Ontario.
@@junehodsdon8037 It was unbelievable. Clean up is still on going. The loss of life was tough for everyone. I pray it never happens again. Have a blessed day.
@@wendypilling3619 it was heartbreaking. 20+ years ago we had to drive through Buffalo to get home during a similar storm. Cars everywhere, whiteouts etc. Thankfully we made it out alive. They closed the road behind us. Of course we've dealt with type of weather many times, but it's a whole other animal when you're trying to drive through it because you don't want to die in your car. We had you all deep in our hearts.💖
@@junehodsdon8037 I'm so glad it turned out well for you and your family. It's so terrifying and trying to stay calm is a feat to conquer.... terrible feeling. Yes, your weather is quite difficult as well.... I've seen some nasty ones in your area. Be safe! God bless.
OK, I know I can't be the only one thinking this is a perfect setup for frostbite! Get your butts back in the house NOW!! The new garage door is great! Only problem is, now you can't close the door and ignore how much stuff you've tucked in there. LOL! Unless you guys intend to stoke the hot tub constantly you'll be best off to drain it. If the water freezes it will swell and break the tub. I'd hate to see that happen.
Speaking as a farm brat, I'd keep Squirrel and the boys inside as much as possible. That cold could be damaging to their lungs if they're out in it for too long... same goes for you two, as well!
Sending as much warm hugs as I can muster. Love you both bunches!

Oh, and a thought about the tractor... "Dirty Gerty" ?
🐈⬛🐕❄Yet again, an episode that filled me with smiles and laughter and tears - THIS is what makes you the highlight of my week (and I watch Apple TV+, not just UA-cam, so the bar is pretty friggin' high guys, and you go over virtually every time). Thank you for all the effort you put into this - love you all, and hope you're staying warm!
Sending you a warm hug from sunny South Africa (we're having torrential rains in Mpumalanga and Limpopo at the moment - if you Google flooding in the Kruger National Park you'll see what my 'backyard' looked like this year)
P.S. I'm so enjoy when you guys have gutter minds - I missed it in your videos for a while - this video felt like one of those 'for old times sake' vlogs where everything was just nostalgic and funny and lovely - so good I'm probably going to watch it again before the week is over!
Oh! That reminds me - PLEASE update the playlist section on your website, I love your music choices and have a whole playlist dedicated to it...
MUCH love from Nelspruit, SA

I have a different comment. You two really helped me through the holidays. My partner of almost 20 years passed away the beginning of July. It has really done a number to my depression that I already medicate. I started watching you regularly last year so Christmas Eve thru our anniversary on January first, I binged watched your older vlogs. So I wanted to thank you in getting me through one of the hardest times of my life.
You two are an absolute delight! You bring joy to my soul.
And yes, the conversation is useful! It feels like we’re with you there!
WOW!!! I didn't think it was possible to get that cold!!!
My goodness!!!
Hope you guys will be ok!!! Snuggle up together and bring in the critters for a group snuggle!!! Stay warm sweeties!!!
Good time to make some good ol' homemade soup, or stew!!!
Much love and big fat hugs!!!
🍃🤗😍🍃
Hey Donna, just wanted to say how much we appreciate that. Have an awesome week and we'll see you Sunday!
Absolutely Stunning outside with all the lights. Winter Wonderland
This is why I am staying in FLORIDUH lol I am praying for a early spring 🙏🏼
I love that you ventured into the hot tub despite the frigid cold. Bravo! So many innuendos this video Todd. You have set a new standard.
Glad you survived. Thank goodness you had time to prep - imagine even 50 years ago that would've been hit or miss on the forecast. Keep each other warm! Have a great week!
You definitely did the right thing by re-insulating the the dome! STAY WARM
Good morning guys so glad to see that you are doing well. Please be safe and warm so happy to see the video my favorites. I wait for y’all every Sunday.❤
Thank you so much for watching each week!! See you next Sunday
A Balaclava in a hot tub is the most Canadian thing I've ever seen lol. Here in Winnipeg, it hits zero and everyone is wearing shorts and drinking slurpees! Haha
😂I live in Savannah, Georgia, US, and have to grab a jacket when it's in the 50s here (10°C); I would literally die there 💕
We haven't experienced temps THAT low, but on day 2 of living in our new cabin, it got down to 2F and we lost power. It made us wonder what we got ourselves into, but we survived and persevered! And yep, the temp conversions are definitely handy! Glad y'all made the best of it. Cheers from the southeast US.
And it makes my heart happy how much you love Charlie, Eddie + Squirrel. Your kindness to animals is such an indicator of your beautiful souls. Xo
Hey Michelle :) Thanks so much for this, really means more than you know! xo
You guys are modern pioneers in the back to nature and the off grid self sufficient future world way of life... very inspiring!
run at freezing night with firewood 'back to nature', well, so-so evolution of future way of life. I've had enough of this 'back to the nature' in my childhood. and I definitely don't want it back in my life. people did not just settle in villages and cities for no reason. if everyone lives alone in the forest, then who will work in factories to make solar panels and all these tools. these experiments 'back to nature alone in the woods' are good for young, healthy and without children. I know how to be the only child in the middle of nowhere. this is no fun and 'inspiring' at all.
Sweet boys, you're snuggled into nature's blanket. Love you two and your furry creatures! Stay cozy!!
Another great vlog. I am amazed what you have accomplished on “The Land”. My only suggestion would be to add a shipping container pool. 😊
Now thats an idea!!
I look forward to your videos every week. My amazing wife just passed on the 10th of February at 58 years old, and I am devastated. When I saw your video on my homepage I was thrilled. You both took me to a happy place, so thank you.🙂
We are so sorry to hear about your wife Craig... Sending you all our love and sympathy💛
Hi guys! All the prep is right on the mark. That you have all you need, in advance, is quite similar to hurricane prep in the "lower 50". Having said that, I have lived a good deal of my life in the Minnesota Lake District, South Dakota, and Nebraska, where we saw -60F (-51C) on multiple occasions through the years. All one need do is be prepared (yes, was a Boy Scout for about 30 years, man and boy). Having and using the right clothing, shoes/boots, jackets, gloves, and hats/hoods is what allows you to go out and do whatever you need or want to do. Burying your "lines" [water, gas, electricity] and having the right wall and window insulation at least available makes you well-prepared. Snuggles and snacks, great idea! Wine and hot chocolate (with a shot of whatever added 🙂
Now all you need is a big huge quilt 😉😉♥♥😎😎🙏🙏
You got Ruby...now you need Jade.
Are you able to get double pane windows and a door for the dome?
Hope you were able to keep warm. I'm a Florida boy...I'm freezing at 60°f!!! (Love the temp conversions.)
Yes, us subscribers in the US really appreciate the conversions. ❤❤❤
Holy moly you guys are so prepared. Very nice job and quite entertaining while making me shiver.
So awesome to know you enjoyed this weeks video!! It means so
much to us!!💛
Gosh Squirrel really adores you !🐾 How you ever had the nerve to go into the hot tub at -46° is beyond me...what if house door got locked by jumping dogs or cat and you were out in cold...no phone,no keys or warm clothing.. or be glad you're not old with an imagination running wild.The garage door is Fab ! Never saw one quite like it.... covering all the windows is an excellent idea... keep the drafts and seam freezers at bay.Soon the Spring will come I just know it.Until then be wise,safe and well fed.
So exciting to think that this is your last winter in the Dome and all this will be fond memories. 👍🏼♥️🇨🇦
When you are in the container house, I have a friend in Halifax area that makes drapes, blinds, etc. she is AMAZING!!
Always look forward to the videos y’all post! 😊❤
Yes please, I love more of the casual conversations not just the technical stuff.
What good work and good humor! It is a big change and such a lot of work and you all make it look fun!
(02/16/23) You guys ought to have an airlock between the outside door and inside door to keep the heated air inside your dome and in summer, cooled air in. If you have winters in future like -44°C, you’ll appreciate having it.
Great video, as usual. Love watching you guys. We need a mid-week update that you made it safely back in the dome!
Native Jamaican here I can't even imagine lol sorry guys, sending some sunlight
Thanks for the temperature conversions. I almost freaked when Squirrel bolted out the door when you were carrying wood inside. Knowing cats, I figured she would explore a bit even in the snow. I was relieved when you let her back inside. I hope that this is the worst weather you have to face this winter and that the rest of the winter will be milder.
You and me both!! Keeping ontop of the animals is super important in these temperatures. Just a few minutes can be life or death!
If we don’t get -40 several times through the winter we are surprised and thankful. Side note regarding the wasps. First get a jug of household ammonia, this will neutralize almost any insect bite you could get, in fact I would try it on any kind of unknown bite. So far as wasp or bee stings it works instantly, not kidding, got stung on the lip by a bee last summer right before work and when I got there no one could tell. It was completely gone. Works on horsefly, deerfly and mosquito bites too. Call her Clementine.❤
It’s hard to handle such a cold weather like you went through! But always I’m learning from your positive energy how to handle the hard tasks. Much love❤️
I live in the south IN state of Tennessee, we were in the mid 50's on a thursday, it dropped to a -4 degrees, 2 days before xmas, it busted my pipe for water, we are not equipped for that kind of cold weather, many in the south are not, but life goes on.....Love you 2 and your furbabys, you have come so far with all you have done there, thank you for sharing with everyone, i enjoy watching your story unfold, stay warm and much love to you both and your furkids ❤
”Don’t. Don’t say it. You have a problem.” 🤣 Wow, I had no clue that you were freezing there….I live in the Nordics but THAT IS COLD!🥶 And one more thing: Todd’s beard! No need to say more…how cute he looked with that thick white beanie!😍 And Tyler is always🥰 Ok, byeee!
OMG! Here in Maryland we think 22 was cold! You guys are hysterical, resourceful, and great examples for ALL couples everywhere! Stay warm! Hugs and love.
Stay safe and warm you two!! 🤗 Thanks for making my Sunday extra with your updates. 😊
You guys never stop impressing. Epic badass moves to engineer around the cold and snow. Stay warm Fam...
I saw the weather forecast for your region and wondered how you were enduring it. At least, clearly, you survived it! Hurrah! So many of the things you do awe me. (I have two hands full of thumbs.) But I think the confidence with which you measure and, accurately, cut things is my standout!
Best line,"just thaw us out in the spring" love you both❤❤
So glad you have the warmth of the dome to help you through these freezing temperatures! We had a week of minus 40 in December and it was brutal!!! I hope you survived the cold, and that it has warmed up already for you! See you next week!
As an American I find the conversions helpful so thanks for including them.
Thanks guys for showing you are ok. We have friends in the region and everyone was batting down the hatches lol I love your conversations!! And your new workshop door, very cool! I live in Northern California but I have never experienced anything close to what you are going thru. Lived in Washington near Seattle for about 18 months and had an actual snowy winter but nothing like you guys are getting. Take care of yourselves and the fur babies and we will see you next week. ;)
Thanks so much Nancy Thomas, means more than you know!
PLEASE keep the conversations, it is a great part of the videos. Your innuendos this time made my day!!!
Glad you like them!
