If you've missed the last few episodes, we decided to buy a cabin, move into it and get comfortable for the winter. It has been a LONG 4 years of self building our home and it's time we start living again. Now that it's been a few weeks, this cozy cottage is exactly what our souls needed!
How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward. Join us every Sunday for a new video!
I think spending the full day out in the cold, combined with Ty’s trip into town was the perfect recipe for us to get sick but like we said, at least it’s this week and not next! As we mentioned in the video, we can’t wait to hang out with you all LIVE on New Years EVE. If you want to tune into the New Years Eve livestream, make sure you click here: bit.ly/TylerandTodd-Patreon . If we don’t see you again until 2024, we hope that you and your loved ones have a wonderful holiday season and we’ll see you again for new episodes on Sunday, January 14th!
Will definitely be with you on New Years Eve. So looking forward to it. It will be New Years Day here in Australia. Have a great Christmas guys and all the very beat for 2024. Luv Ya.
Looking forward to it! @@kennethdodemaide8678
New years Eve live sounds so fun. I'm definitely going to be there, I love the 12 feet tree. it looks amazing. Todd knew where it was from 😂❤❤
Hahaha he doesn't miss a beat, does he?? See you there!!@@Amani1611
Happy holidays and big hugs from Ontario as always
As a 62 year old widow. My husbands gone. My kids and grandkuds are grown.
I wish i had appreciated all the christmases when we were young and our children were small.
All the cooking and buying gifts and the crowds. I miss those days.
When your child sits looking up at the decorations ,lights shining on their faces . Is everything.
If thats your life, take it from me, slow down. Enjoy it.
❤
@@claudiakarl7888 I too am old and regretted having two of my kids when I was "older" - twins. Now, they are still teenagers and I feel young, lol. You are so blessed to have those memories, and it looks like enjoying Christmas w/great-grandkids for you may very well be in the picture. Merry Christmas!!!!
@purselmer5931 oh i hope for greats but when its their time. At 19, 19, 20 and 21 they have a few years till babies.
Hugs to you 🤗🤗🤗
@@gigidodson Yes, but you have plenty of years too - at least 30 more! Come on now!
The way Todds face lit up when he knew that 12 footer was waiting for him, just pure joy! Priceless 🖤🎄
9:28 was my favourite moment of the whole video lol The way Todd froze, soo sweet ❤
My husband of 40 years passed away this week. Christmas was our thing and Michael had to place the ornaments in the perfect places. Your post today brought back great memories. Enjoy your beautiful tree and keep the joy in your hearts
Condolences on your loss! Hope your Christmas is good, though I know it will be hard. Just surround yourself with people who love you!
There’s nothing that can be said to take away your sadness and hurt but going through it is how we heal. I thought I’d never laugh again and then I was watching something on tv and I did. Startled the heck out of myself. Let family and friends help..it helps you and it helps them.
Virtual hugs!
My condolences on the loss of your husband, Michael. May you be surrounded by light and love during this difficult time.
❤

the look on Tyler's face at 9:14 before he told Todd about the tree was absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰 the love between you guys is so beautiful
Special everyday moments ❤️❤️🎄🎄
Todd hanging the ornaments on his pants is both genius and hilarious 🤣
I can't believe how much this home seems like it was meant to be yours. The happiness is radiating from you.
We can't get over it either. We're so glad things worked out the way they did!
It is so lovely to see you both so happy! I hope you feel better soon and have a wonderful holiday season!
Really like the new 12 ft. holiday tree, guys. We put up 6 trees each year. One for each grandkid. Dump the Covid for Christmas and have a festive time with family.
Surprising Todd was priceless😊 12 ft 🌲. The joy you two radiate this holiday season is priceless. Thanks for letting us share this year with you .
That was so cute, surprising Todd with the 12 ft tree! And the critters hanging while you worked. Merry Christmas, guys!
He was so happy!!
WOW! All the decor looks beautiful. Probably the sweetest moment was when the boys and Squirrel were giving sibling kisses and love. You know babies learn what they see and feel... you are the best parents to the fur babies. The wildlife shots were breathtaking. Feeling so sad you both have Rona. Hopefully you will get healthy soon. I know you have family coming and you have a lot to do. See you over at the podcast on Wednesday.
🎊Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Tyler, Todd, Charlie, Eddie, Squirrel and everyone watching!❄️🛷🏒✡️🕎☯️☮️✝️☪️😀🖖💕 May the New Year find you all healthy and happy. Love to you all. 🎉
You’ll need to build a catio for Squirrel so she can go outside and be safe.
Oooh that would be a fun spring project!
Watching the look of joy on Todd’s face was priceless.
I'm a 70 y.o. from Kelowna bc. Watching you every Sunday and Wednesday has been heart warming and a wonderful distraction from my chemo. Bless you and your family and have a very merry Christmas
Get well soon.
OMG that 12 foot tree is spectacular! WOW! Tyler is a gem-hope you both recover well. Rest and take that time to relax.
The look of Tyler's face when the tree was on. Priceless 😅. Great job guys. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Couldn't get over it LOL
What a great vlog to end 2023! Soaring eagles, magical and beautiful decorated Christmas trees, healthy fur babies and a warm and cozy lake house to share with family. Enjoy your well deserved time off. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2024!
I love those trees, the whole place looks magical!
I love the dogs, and Squirrel sneaking in and out of the boxes. I love the passion and care you show each other, have a wonderful, restful Christmas!
Tyler, I thought I was going to cry when you gave Todd the tree but the kiss at the top of the ladder sent me over the edge! I hope you guys know how lucky you are to have each other! This kind of thoughtfulness and love is so precious! Happy Holidays guys!
The absolute joy On Todd's face, you're such a good husband. Feel better guys and I hope you have an amazing holiday.
I don't tell many this but I live by myself. Most of my family members are passed and those who remain are
living in completely different states. Therefore being by myself I have a hard time decorating my place when
the season dictates.
When I get to see how elaborately you guys decorate your various living spaces It totally fills me with joy. .....
You always give decorating your all and it shows with ""Picture Perfect Postcard"" and stunningly beautiful
scenery that Brings in the moods and feelings of your hearts.
Please don't ever change this wonderful aspect of your characters.
I actually begin to feel the Christmas Spirit when I watch the two of you brightening up your homes in the
way that you do. Truly May God Bless you and yours ( this would include your sweet fuzzy kids as well!!! )
As always, Luv ya both, Me southern AZ.
Yeah. My parents, my stepfather are gone now. So too my aunts and uncles. No siblings. Some cousins, but not nearby. Being on my own, I don't give much thought to the Christmas period and decorating, although I did haul out a bit of tinsel and baubles for the living room. Still, you know, I live in a small cosy council bungalow, nice neighbours, nice quiet area, lovely walks nearby, and I'm very thankful for all that. The intention is to treat myself on the day to a large Margherita and several glasses of sherry throughout the short daylight here (from nine to three) and read and go for a walk and get to watch lots of you-tube (I don't have, want, a telly). That's my simple way of doing things, but, in short, I wish you the best for your own sort of celebration, however muted. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from me across the pond. Robert, Warwickshire, UK.
I too am on my own at Christmas as my parents have passed, siblings are too far away and my cousins live in Seattle and Toronto. I don’t bother decorating for Christmas because I’m too busy packing my caravan for my annual holidays and the big get away. It’s hot here in Australia and we wear Christmas T Shirts, shorts and thongs (flip flops). Families celebrate Christmas at the beach, by rivers or creeks or just in their own backyards often having barbecues.
I don’t mind being on my own Christmas Day as I play Christmas songs and carols all day long through my Bluetooth speaker outside. To everyone on their own this Christmas, have a lovely peaceful day and just know that there are millions of other people just like us all around the world. If you live in a cold climate, rug up and be cosy or in a hot climate find somewhere to cool off. I’ll raise a glass or three of gin and tonics to all of us on our own to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy prosperous New Year. 🇦🇺🦘🦘🇦🇺
@@mitzigaynor-rz5zn Hi, Mitzi....I hope you washed that guy right out of your hair ('South Pacific', right?). Takes me back to when I was a boy in South Africa at Christmas time - oh, my, so hot! Down at the beach on blistering sand, diving into the cool surf, maybe some cold chicken and crisps for lunch. Thanks for the sweet comment and, yeah, best wishes to you, too. Robert, uk.
Same/same, friend. Cheers to everyone like us.🥂❤️🫂
Thank you guys once more for letting me be part of your journey. Wishing you both and your families the happiest of Christmas’s and a toast that 2024 brings you all you wish for. 🎅🏻
GUYS!!!! That tree is BREATHTAKING. The cabin looks so cozy and beautiful. All you need now is a big snow. Todd, you couldn't be more right about the holiday season. It comes with so many mixed emotions, reflection, joy, love, sadness and, at times, confusion. I wish you both the very best Christmas ever in your new home. Hope you both feel better before the company gets there. Love you both!!
Your winter cabin is haunted by some amazing views, they are just as good as those at the dome. Don't forget to hug Eddie and Charlie!
They're sending lots of slobbery kisses your way!
Oh WOW, only 2 mins in & what beautiful footage of the 2 Eagles Tyler!! Well done! ❤😊❤
Just finished watching the rest. Beautiful decorating & Wow your new tree is absolutely gorgeous with the dimmed lights & your creative decorating! I am so sorry to hear you both got sick, & am hoping for a quick & speedy recovery!! Wishing you 5 & all your visiting families a very Happy Holiday's. Enjoy, as family time in the new Lake House will be extra magical! Merry Christmas & looking forward to another Happy New Year, following along on Wednesdays & Sundays! / Elaine ❤🎄☃️🙏
Yeah, the production values of these videos just keeps getting better and better. This video was especially beautifully shot; not only the nature shots but also the scenes with the Christmas ornaments. So, so pretty.
The house looks great and that 12’ tree is gorgeous! Enjoy the holidays!
So glad you are keeping Squirrel inside. He would become a meal quickly.
Your decorating is lovely. I am so glad you are championing mental health. I have never seen anyone so excited about a tree! It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us. It is pure joy!!
Oh, sweetie, I’m so sorry you both got Covid. Love you!!merry Christmas!
I love it when Todd thinks everything is living and has a heart and feelings ❣️🤗☺️
OMG...the tall tree looks amazing!!! Both of you get well and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...looking forward to 2024 !!!!
Wishing the same for you!!
Sorry to hear you both are sick. On a brighter note, I have to say that tree is stunning and your Christmas decorations make your home look so inviting, it truly looks like a perfect Christmas cabin. Merry Christmas to you both and thanks for having us in your lives this past year. Enjoy your holidays with your friends and family.
Thank you both for allowing us all into your life and representing what true love and a strong marriage looks like. I know its not all rainbows and butterflies but today when I seen you two on the ladder with the 12ft tree I could feel the love in your kiss all the way down here in Ohio and it just touched my heart❤️. May you both be blessed with many many more healthy and happy years together! Looking forward to spending time with you both next year! Of course the fur babies included🙂. Btw. More tea please😉😉😉😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh those eagle shots were magnificent! Great job!
So here we are again, close to the end of another year. Our hearts are full of love and anticipation, tenderness and reminiscing. We look forward to the romance of being together with loved ones in a warm home, so full of love, so full of family and friends. Happy holidays to the both of you and all those you love, both near and far. See you Wednesday!
So perfectly well said! Happy holidays to you as well. 😊
My husband believes all the Christmas stuff should be remote controlled. From my couch I can turn on my Christmas tree, the village, and the outdoor lights. It’s amazing! He even rewired all my battery operated village pieces so that’s it’s all electric. What great hubbies we have.
Have a Merry Xmas boys and thanks for the entertainment you have provided during the year, I never leave an episode without a smile on my face, or a belly laugh (sometimes both 😀). See you in the New Year and what a year it will be 😊❤xxx
Happy holidays!
I can see Squirrels thoughts. She is absolutely thrilled that you have built all of these wonderful dangly things for her to knock off!❤️Love u guys
I have to say you have such a beautiful relationship with each other! It brought tears to my eyes seeing both of you up on the ladder in front of your Christmas tree kissing. See an endearing moment!
The world would be a much better place if more ppl were like them❤
I know you want to paint the dry wall white, but I am kind of obsessed with that green! It looks AMAZING with all the Christmas decorations! This was the coziest video ever. Thanks!
I don't normally comment on videos but this one hits the heart. You two decorating that tree brings tears of joy. Have a merry Christmas!
For me too! No lil ones here for Christmas this year so no one wanted to do d3corations So your video was really wonderful and filled the need for decorations for me! Thank you thank you thank you! Sorry you have Covid but am so glad you got the 12 footer for Christmas! God😅 bless the two of you get well soon!
What a gorgeous place!!! A paradise!!! 🥰❤️🎶❤️🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🎅🎁🌲
Stunning trees!!! What an absolutist gorgeous home!!! Merry Christmas, guys and all your fur babies!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🎅🎁🌲🐶🐶🇨🇦
I will miss seeing you for a few weeks, you two are my Sunday go to. Happiest of holidays with your loved ones - thanks for sharing your lives with this 55 year old mom ❤
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Tyler, Todd, Charlie, Eddie, and Lily aka Squirrel! 🎄🎅🏻❤️
I remember one magical tree when I was about 12. The owners of the farm we lived on had a double height ceiling in their living room and a mezzanine. They had an enormous Christmas tree and instead of Christmas lights the tree was decorated with actual candles which were in special holders. It was the most beautiful magical tree I have ever seen. Your animals are all so sweet together. Great to see Charlie walking around ok.
OMG the tree looks amazing even before you added ornaments! I love how you are able to adjust the colors and brightness. 🎄🎄🎁🎁
OK, So being the Hopeful Romantic that I am, I totally cried at the surprise of the 12' tree. I know what its like to have a vision of what could be. Tyler, good for you for making Todds Christmas wish come true. Its a memory you will keep and cherish years and years from now.
Your home looks so beautiful with the Xmas decorations and the sun shining on the water have a wonderful Christmas and happy New and be safe see you next year
I just rewatched this for the 3rd time. Sorry, not sorry, but Tyler with all the animals is the sweetest moment ❤❤
The gasp we gusped when you turned the tree on! Absolutely stunning! Hope you are on the mend. Happy holidays to you all!
Oh, this was such a wholesome video! I'm getting to it late because of my own health shenanigans, but it was exactly what I needed as a pick-me-up! The cottage looks beautiful, and while I'm sorry you're both sick as well, as you said, it's good that it happened before Christmas so you have time to recover.
Wishing you both a wonderful festive season with your families, you definitely deserve it after so much hard work!
Beautiful job decorating for Christmas boys! Glad the kids were there to help. Get well soon you two! Hugs, and pets to the kids! Jim & Bob in FL.
"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime." Merry Christmas to you both. 🌲🌲🌲
You know it's Sunday, when Tyler and Todd are on our screens. Having my snacks and going to watch the vlog. Sending you love. 😊❤️🎄
Sending you lots of love as well xoxo
MOG Todd is in decorating HEAVEN look at him go❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I totally started crying when Tyler got the 12foot tree how thoughtful ...your love just warms my heart you guys❤❤❤
It took my breath away when he turned the lights on. Gorgeous ✨
You take such good care of each other. The 12 foot tree was perfect.
Merry Christmas to all!!!
I'm not usually over the top on Christmas trees but when you lit that 12 footer off---I almost lost my mind!! It is so spectacular!!!!
Oh my goodness that tree is awesome!!!! Your place is looking so incredible. Feel better boys and see you on Wednesday!
GORGEOUS. The trees look awesome and the outdoor decorations are stunning. Wishing you health, happiness and joy. BIG GIANT HUGS.
Health to you both! The videography was exceptional (as always). Your shots of decorating the tree and the cut aways to Charlie, and Eddie, and finally Squirrel (who had to be so blasé with a big yawn) was adorable! The happiest of holidays to you both, and thank you for sharing your lives with us!! 🎄🎅🎄💕
Bougie Canadian Tire shoppers!! 😂...can i just say, that you two look incredibly "at home" in that house. The views, and atmosphere? Id never leave. A place like that is somewhere I could spend every single day of my life in. Its absolutely stunning, and i feel like its added to your souls. Gorgeous. ❤
I have been a subscriber for about a year and I love your channel. I have recently gone back to your older posts and I just wanted to say that I think it is amazing how much you have achieved. it was hard to watch Todd cry when he was talking about how he was scared when you both gave everything up and how full of self doubt he was...check you BOTH out now. You are such hard workers and an inspiration to anyone who wants to change their life. Wishing you the best possible wishes for 2024 to both of you, Charles, Eddie and Squirrel.
Todd it bought tears to my eyes watching you decorate your tree, its beautiful. Get well soon my lovelies, Happy Christmas to you both x
Love the cabin. Thanks for the videos, stories and laughter over the past year.
Todd no one can do Christmas like you do sweetheart, and the tree omg wow wow wow it’s absolutely stunning, you’ve made the cabin so magical and yes it is breathtaking, Merry Christmas guys to you both and your beautiful fur babies, and lots of love for 2024, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Maybe build a catio with perches and tunnels so little Squirrel can enjoy the outdoors safe from the hawks/eagles and any other predators? You could build it big enough to put seating in there so you could join her.
Just a thought 😊
Todds excitement is so contagoius all I can do is smile till my face hurts watching him with the tree
Todd was all into that “bad boy” tree!!🌲 thank you for sharing your excitement with us! 😂
Tip for next time- use green pipe cleaners instead of zip ties. They will blend into the garland and banister.
Rather than zip ties for the garland….green jute twine would blend with the deck and it’s reusable. 💕☮️🎄
Merry Christmas you two!!! The cabin looks so incredibly cozy!!! The 12 foot tree is amazing!! Hope you can rest and be covid free very soon!! ❤
Todd has never sounded more Canadian. 😂 Merry Christmas, it looks gorgeous. ❤🎄💚
WOW, I have to say that the tree has got to be the most beautiful Christmas tree I have ever seen. It's stunning! 😍🤩
We tie are tree to the wall with fishing line and hooks. It has saved are trees many times from the cats climbing up inside them
I haven’t even finished watching but I have to say “Todd you’re like a big kid enjoying Christmas…who really knows how to decorate!!!” I’m getting so many ideas from you!! I ❤️ watching you both sooo much!! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
Beautiful beautiful tree. You should take a snapshot of you taking a kiss on top of the ladder. Frame it and get it out every Christmas to remember this moment.
How is el doggo doing? I wish you both a happy Christmas and a Merry new year!😊
He is doing great!
I had to catch up because of everything that’s going on here (sort of the same story, big renovation going on) but I love being back with you guys. I love you Tyler for the Christmas tree surprise. Todd’s smile was amazing. Wish you all the best.
The smile on Todd’s face whilst decorating, awesome. Covid is definitely doing the rounds this year. Up until now I’ve managed to avoid getting it, then I went out with family and friends to celebrate on the weekend before my big birthday 🎉. Fast forward 5 days later on my actual birthday … Happy 60th birthday, you have Covid 😡😡😡.
I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas, the decorations and trees look stunning. ❤️🇦🇺🦘🐨
The cottage looks amazing! Sending quick healing vibes to you both and wishing you and your crew a very happy holiday season!
Awe. The 12ft tree surprise. 🎄🎄🎄🎄love fur family reaction. Hahaha “OMG!” Hahaha love you guys!
The tree is absolutely stunning And I love how Todd gets so excited about Christmas.
Also Squirrel She loves Christmas as much as Todd does.
Hope you get well soon! Tree(s) turned out amazing. Happy holidays and thank you for posting tidbits from your life. It's a joy to watch you and the furbabies.
So glad to see dear sweet Charlie! I was getting worried❤The Cabin looks like a Christmas fantasy! Love it! Tyler's face when Todd was talking about next year's 12ft tree.. That right there is the joy of Christmas! ... Also "Tyler, you have to be logical!" I LOL'd for real! Hope you both feel better! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Hi! Really admire how you have not made yourselves stay on the land, how you have let yourselves find another option for the winter , and my gosh, you work SOOOO hard, and SOOOO smart. Blessings on you and your - for now - home. I am in Ecuador traveling for the holidays. See it for yourselves sometime. Barbara Hill
I want to thank you beautiful couple for making your videos so full of warmth and joy you lift me up. This is the 1st being hooked on a unique and personal reality show for me. Watching you both lovingly support each other thru the good an difficult times makes me believe in love all the more. You have me feel a range of emotions such as joy, laughter, tears, truly a sharing even though you are both in tv land. Your interactions with nature, each other and your extended family of pets leaves me wishing all humans could take a lesson in love and kindness and wouldn't it be a better world for it. By the way your amazing cottage should be featured in Better Homes and Garden magazine 👍 💟🫶
Enjoy the holidays, guys! Beautiful decorations!
Sorry you guys are sick. Relax, heal, and enjoy your cozy cabin. I haven’t missed a week this year Merry Christmas from Calgary!
Cut a door in that big box for Squirrel and she can have her own apartment in your cabin. (Plus Todd will have something else to decorate.) You guys are KILLING it this week with the decorating, the wildlife, and that TREE. My goodness, when it was on full brightness you could have performed surgery by that amount of light. It's just stunning. Sorry about the Covid. Rest up and enjoy your holidays with family and friends. I'll miss not having you guys the next few Sundays. See you next year.
The cabin looks so beautiful! Get well soon boys and have an amazing holiday. See you in the new year.
Merry Christmas, the xmas trees are beautiful, hope you both are feeling better, much love to you both and furry friends. 🥰🌲🌠🎁
That Christmas tree is so beautiful. That was an excellent choice guys. I wish you a Merry Christmas to all! Love and be safe!🤗😘🎄🇻🇪
Your trees came out BEAUTIFUL!
I'm so sorry y'all are sick! Please take care of yourselves and get better soon before your families get there❤. You are right, this house screams for Christmas decorations and they are all so beautiful...but that GORGEOUS 12 ft tree!!!😳 Happy Holidays to you all! ❤️🐾🐱🐾❤️
Feel better guys, thanks for all you do! Merry Christmas and happy New Yesr!🎉
The Cabin is amazing. This was destined to be your home. Kudos to you both, this is a great way to end the year, blessings for the holiday.
THAT TREE!!! You’ve done such a wonderful job getting your touches in your new home, and I LOVE everything. To one of my favourite couples in the whole wide world, I wish happiness, family, love, hugs and hope Santa is good to you this year. Big love and blessings!
