Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

When the DIY dreams come to life 😍😍 THANK YOU all so much for the support on our first ever merch drop… we are blown away!!!!! 💛 5 DAYS left to get your Pack gear- send us your photos when you get your order. After years of planning and working away at the cabin this area is complete, what do you think of the inside outside window eating area? See you Sunday xx
I think you guys are so cool
I am so looking forward to my pack shirts!
I really like how you've finished off your kitchen with the new counter area and the backsplash. Nice work!
Hi ladies!!! I'm so happy Bella 🐕 is home and doing well❣Everything looks wonderful and I LOVE your window!!! Have you considered putting some trim around the top and side of your backslash where it's exposed? It would be a nice finishing touch. I have to say, the two of you are truly amazing ❤ I can't believe the overall transformation of the cabin and how much you learned and did yourselves, it's absolutely mind blowing!!! BRAVO!!! 👏 👏 👏
P.S. Great hair Crystal!!! 😍
😂
You ladies have done a PHENOMENAL job on your cabin. Brava!
Thank you! We just love what we do and we couldn’t do it without all of you 💛
Lovely work as usual, ladies.
That splash back is great.
I love that set of benches you both put in for serving and sitting. That would be so nice having a cold one after a long day watching sunset and talking
Pitas. All day.
You guys are such an incredible team. You partner so well together.
Awe thank you 💛
Great! Enjoy your new favorite place! Such a pity that you are so far away, my wife and I would love to visit you and cheer your successes! 😊 and all the best for your puppies!
Do we get to hear about that beautiful new truck?! I keep seeing it and waiting lol. Thanks for all the inspiration!! Off grid dreams ❤!!
Beautiful job ladies, as always! So glad Bella is doing better!
Thank you Mike 💛
You go girls! Well done 🤗
Thank you! 🌞🐶
Ever thought about an engine blanket and engine warmer for Clem?
Beautiful work girls!
Seriously you need to have made hats for dogs. I see them for sale all the time. And with The Pack written across the front, how cute would that be? I would buy one for my Australian Shepherd, and her name coincidentally, is Bella.
You’ve done such great work as always. One big question though is don’t you have any screens for the windows? I know you get a lot of bugs up there, especially black flies and mosquitoes.
Great work Lovely Ladies, and so happy Bella is doing well! Much ❤ to you both and your girls😘😘
looks great!
No anchors in the counters jus glue?
I love spinach dip I want to buy a hoodie and tee shirt but having a hard time getting to the web site HELP
Spinach dip is the BEST! Go to Vanwives.com
So glad to hear that Bella’s tests came back negative!! We do so love our fur-babies!!❤️🐾
Thank you so much Debber, you are right! Bella is our family, we love her so much. We were so relieved when we did get the good news.💛🐶
Love Bella, I’m so happy she is ok.
So glad that puppy dog is OK. And I'm so proud of your skills: the countertops and splash backs are SO professional!!
Thank you James. Bella is our family and we were so relieved to get the good news. Thanks for the kind words. 💛🐶
I can't wait to see all the winter time interior builds! That loft in particular 😍
I hope you two are enjoying the fruits of your labors! You absolutely deserve it. 🥰🫶🏻💕
Thank you for your encouraging words. The loft will be cool as ever. Stay tuned 💛💛
I’m so hapy that puppy is doing well!!!
Your new window fixings are PERFECT!!! 🥰🎶❤️🇨🇦🐶🐶🌲
Thank you Kerry, we were so relieved to get the good news. Bella is a tough dog and would never show us if she was in pain or hurting. We sure have to keep a good eye on her. 💛🐶
The creation energy you guys have is so uplifting!
You guys are motivational
Have seen you guys create everything from scratch and most importantly enjoying the flow state of making it as it is more blissful than the end stage!
Happy recovery Bella 💙
Awe such beautiful words! You just filled up our hearts, thank you for watching this all come together with us. Bella is recovering a little bit every day. 💛🐶
@@Vanwives 💙🤗
The Kitchen is so beautiful! you two (and your two supervisors) did such an amazing job! Crystal your hair looks great also.
We are just loving our new kitchen! We could not do it without Bella and Izzy and all of you. 💛🐶
SOOOOO many healing hugs being sent out to Bella!!! 🐾🐾
Oh and everything you two touch turns to magic! Both the counters and backsplash turned out soooooo amazingly perfect!!!!
Awe thank you that means so much to us and especially Bella.
The pack is sending back so many hugs to you. We appreciate the accolades as well. 🤗🐶
I just started watching your content recently and I just want to tell you how amazing and fearless you two are. Thank you for your inspiration.
I am 60 and retired from the US Postal Service. I love getting ideas for DIY projects from content like yours. Also I am an Ally and have 4 awesome kids and want you to know that if your Dads were around that they would be so proud of you both! The best thing about you two is how genuine and loving you are to each other. Sending you love and peace and joy!
Wow, your shelves and backsplash look amazing. There is no job you guys cannot do. I love the way you tackle the work with no fear. Planning puts it to the next level. You have so much to be proud of. Great job!☺☺
So proud of you both, what a couple of years of hard work, pain, tears and laughter and happiness, looking forward to 2024 with a new grandbaby and to watching another year with my favourites ❤ get well Bella xx 🐾🐾🐾🐾❤
Great job completing the kitchen! The indoor/outdoor space looks fantastic and the backsplash completes it all. But really it's all about Bella - nice to see her medical needs taken care of and well on the way to full recovery!!
Christal your hair looks beautiful, so much nicer without the bangs. Happy the dog is ok 👍🙏❤️
You are absolutely right! It is all about Bella, she is such a strong dog and never shows us if she is in pain, or hurting. So we are so relieved she is healing a little every day. As you know Bella and Izzy are our family. 💛🐶
The counter is looking fab ! Glad Bella is doing okay ❤❤❤ and that all 3 lumps got the all clear!! Crystal, your hair looks gorgeous
Thank you for all your compliments.
Bella is recovering a little bit every day. We were so worried about her, and the results of the lumps but good news see you next sunday.💛🐶
Ha I still think you should either screen in whole pourch or windows to keep out pesky bug etc 😂
Well you do have a point!🤩🐶
You girls are amazing! Better than two guys would have done. My appreciation of you two continues to grow!
Thank you Brett.🌞🐶
I love Sunday mornings with the pack. The cabin is turning out SO nice.
Thank you for tuning in! We could not do it without all of you. 💛🐶
SUGGESTION: Soften the dogs' kibbles overnight before feeding them. I also have two elderly pups with the same dental issues. Love what you're doing with the place! 💞
plus if you are adding liquids it helps with good hydration. I have a couple of pups that it helps keep their hydration better. Helps keep bladder crystals from forming etc. All 3 of our pups get kibble with a green bean stew to aid in that plus it helps keep our chunky pug (she's 12) and our frenchie boy (just turned 1) last but not least the one who rarely EVER drinks from the water bowl because she's so anxious our app 4 - 5 yr old chug. Also think about raising your girls feed and water bowls, it aids in digestion and helps with aches and pains most older pups have
Avoid KIBBLE!!
Raw food diet will deter the development of lumps and tooth decay. Avoid grains in dog food!
Love Bella and Izzy. ❤❤❤
@@bcmbeckett4362 Avoiding grains in dog food is a good recipe for encouraging canine heart disease.
What to avoid: Grain-free dog food.
Hi Linda, we have Bella and Izzy on raw food for the past 8 months and their overall health has improved. Thanks for all your helpful hints. 💛🐶
@@Vanwives Thanks for your reply .. I meant to say 'soft' food so that they didn't have to CHEW it. Bless them, I can't imagine how painful it must be to try and break their food down with bad teeth. Love you guys. See you Sunday.🌹
The micro cement is so good! You’re building yourself quite the homestead!!
The kitchen looks amazing. Jazz and Crystal feel better soon. Bear can't wait to see what is next for you ladies. Wishing you and yours very best in life.🐾💛
Awe Nathan so nice of you to share all your kind comments with us. 💛🐶
I can’t get over how good that backsplash looks.
I hope Bella is feeling better from her surgery ❤
Thanks, we had an idea and it worked. We love the way it looks. We were so concerned about our sweet Bella, but she is healing well. 💛🐶
The indoor/outdoor breakfast bars look so good - such a great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The kitchen looks amazing.
I'm so glad Bella is ok. ps. Crystal's hair looks beautiful 🥰
Healing wishes and fast recovery to Bella! Counters and hair look beautiful.
Thank you for the healing wishes and quick recovery. Bella is doing a little better every day 💛
I can’t believe half the stuff you gals do. The two of you are an inspiration and incredible role model for not just women but everyone both young, old and especially young people. You’re an excellent example that most things are possible with determination, hardwork, the willingness to try again and again when and first you don’t succeed and most important a lot of patience. I can’t wait to order my pack hat, I’M I considering getting Wrigley my almost 12 year old Golden Retriever a hat as well lol. Keeping the two of you in my prayer’s everyday. I’m a mom with a daughter about your age
Love the highlights Crystal! Excellent job on the counters!You both are very inventive with your projects. Looking forward to next week 💛
Thank you, needed a change for my hair 🥰 see you next week 💛
0:12 What a nice-looking kitchen. A "Pack" logo would look good on the island counter top. 😀 And I noticed the hair right away!
Thanks! We love that idea. 💛🐶
The transformation of the property and cabin is amazing! If there is any way to contact the previous owner and show them what it looks like would blow them away! Happy Sunday ladies!❤
Not always the best plan...
💚💚💚 I never had a doubt. I knew you guys could do it. You guys are true inspiration. Thank you for the video and love the window. 🤠🐢
We are happy to have your support and encouragement. It’s the new fav spot. Thank you for your kind words!! 💛
The window counters look amazing. They give a whole new vibe to the cabin. 👍
Hey Sharon, we think so too. Thanks for sharing with us. 💛🐶
You two ladies are so skilled and capable that I'm genuinely awed by your accomplishments. My senior male ego probably should feel threatened, but I'm so impressed by your accomplishments that instead, i'm actually rather proud of you both and feel like like I've become a member of your pack.
Clever, clever, clever, girls. Your kitchen look so good, and the window shelving in and out was so perfect. Long time coming, but things take time when there is so much to do.
Lots of love from Mike. ❤❤
It's all coming together really nicely. The kitchen and the new backsplash look great. I love what youj have done with the place. The charcoal outside and the bright inside and everything you did outside. I hope that you'll keep this place forever. And all the best in the wordl for Bella, Izzy and you two. Greetings from Germany.
That contraption for moving the wood is so snazzy! ❤️🐾🐾
Right! We love it! Easy peasy. 🤩🐶
My rescue panther, Boo is 14 and has cancer. There's not a whole lot to be done so we've been making him comfortable and spoiling him even more, until...
I wish I could support you guys more than by simply watching and liking your videos but alas I'm on a fixed income and it's difficult.
I really love being a part of THE PACK. It is, quite frankly, one of very few good things in my life.
Thank all four of you for being consistently and authentically you. Please send Boo some healing light and love. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🐈⬛🐾
Cabin is looking classy in the woods, Bella is in the clear, Clem starts right up and the hair is 🔥. Life is Good💛🤗
Right! Life is good. We are so happy and relieved Bella is healing well. 💛🐶
You ladies cease to amaze me 😊 that is absolutely gorgeous. That's gonna be so fun being able to eat inside and outside. I'm so glad to hear the good news about Bella's test , dogs are my heart ♥ and I'm wishing Bella a speedy recovery. Happy Sunday! Oh and I'm definitely a chip person for spinach 😊
Awesome job, Crystal and Jaz ❣️ Had my mouth watering for the spinach dip... Be safe and warm 🧤🧣 Can't wait to see the next project ❣️
Wow 🤩 you girls knocked it out of the park!! It looks AMAZING 😍 You gals have really turned that cabin into a beautiful home 🏡
I promise to buy Pack gear next time. Im so heartbroken that I can’t this time. With 4 kids, being single and Christmas being this month, I can’t do it. But I wanted a sweatshirt and a hat so bad! I will continue to support here in the comments! Love you pack! ❤️🐾
This window/counters/project FABULOUS !!!! So glad the pooper girl is ok.. Thanks you guys for sharing all of your projects. They are extremely professional and inspirational. GIRLS ROCK !!!! Love the Pack :)
That microcement looks like it would be great to use behind a wood burner stove. Kisses to the pups! ❤❤❤❤
That poor doggy, I'm so glad the lab tests came back normal. Its is sooo hard to lose a beloved family pet. Stay healthy you'all.
Beautiful inside/outside counter tops, ladies! Love your work! Would love to see what you two and fellow UA-camr Hannah Lee Duggan could do ~ you all are such talented ladies!! 🥰😎
I was about to get really sad when you said she was missing her sister. I’m glad she’s ok. The counters look great.
you guys are amazing with your building. It seems no building project is a problem and you do it to the best you can be. Congrats on a stunning job. Hope Bella feeling better, woof woof
It looks a million bucks! You guys really will get bored without the new land and projects there! Love watching your amazing development of skills and the lovely way you relate your life to us 🎉🎉🎉
Glad Bella is doing fine and Clem is able to be such a help - smarts going into the wood storage.
You are ⭐️🔥⭐️!
Love watching all the projects you are doing on your cabin. You both have come so far in your talents. I am gluten and dairy free and I would love the recipe for the spinach dip. Can't wait to see what other projects you guys have up your sleeves and all the projects on the newly purchased land.
Hi Bella! I'll bet that you feel SO much better after that dental work. My Papillon had some similar problems, and after her bad teeth were removed about a year ago, it was so obvious that her life was greatly improved. Take care, and paws up to you 🐾 and your sister 🐾 !
And...to your moms: Great work on your cabin and getting something 100% done. I remember when I was working on my cabin, my brother-in-law visited and asked, "Do you ever FINISH anything?" 😄
Ladies everything looks great. Your cabin is 5 star it is beautiful and you are both so skilled. Love to Bella for a complete recovery x
Just found your page a few days ago (and have binged your old content since season 1 of the cabin) I love what you guys are doing out there and I look forward to seeing you tackle each task. Thank you for great content 👏
Absolutely beautiful… huge Pat on the back to you both. Big cuddles to the toothless terror and Izzy. ❤
You both come a long way with your skills. You're both doing a fantastic job. ❤❤
PITA. What about all the bugs in the spring and summer with your new kitchen window? BTW - can NOT wait until my PACK cap arrives!!
The kitchen is now complete, but more importantly wishing Bella lots of love and heals well ❤❤❤❤
NO SNOW?WELL 42 DEG@630PM EST,RAINING,HEADING YOUR WAY..GREAT JOB AGAIN..C U NEXT WEEK.HUGS TO PUPPY
Glad your dog survived all that. A friend took her dog to be looked at with one of those things on its ear and the dog never made it home. The level of incompetence among certain vets is astounding.
Get well soon Bella love wifey's new hair cut I love it get better doggy wolf pack keep your tail up 💪❤
I love watching your videos you too make everything so nice and happy it puts me in a good mood love it take care and keep up the good work and take care of the puppies they're very important

I’m so sad I couldn’t afford the merch. They had reasonable prices but it’s hard out here. 😢
You ladies have come so far in a very short time. The kitchen and serving window look sensational. Looking forward to next week. Go Pack.
Hey Mark, thank you for sharing your kind words with us. We are so happy to have you in our pack. 🌞🐶

Thank you Stanley, we are happy we can brighten your day. We are happy to have you in our pack. Sending love back from the pack.💛🐶
Glad Bella (my sister's Chesapeake Bay Retriever's name as well) is home and got through all of her medical issues with no future worries. Hope her healing goes as well. And I'm so glad to see you guys finishing off detailed work like a couple of champs. Keep it up. Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!
