    I enjoyed your visit with Oliver soooo much!! I've watched Off Grid Island since it's beginning and I've been watching your channel for at least 6 months, if not more. Your hour and a half video recapping your grand adventure was great for me because I had missed quite a bit of your beginnings. Thank you for that! Clovis has gotten so big and I'm sure he has a lot more growing to come. He's such a cutie pa-tootie. Can't wait for next Saturday's video! Take care & stay warm (it was 74 here in North Carolina yesterday, but back to cold today!).

    As a Canadian of Finn heritage it’s nice to see Oliver teach you about Sauna. I grew up having a sauna 2x a week, for bathing, in northern Ontario with my brothers, and thru the ice all winter, yr after yr. We never had a shower, always sauna.
    The next thing you need for your sauna is a Loofa sponge and a viita. As kids we also collected birch branches every summer for my grandparents public Finn Sauna in Toronto, 50-+yrs ago.
    The sauna is a spiritual, as much as it is a physical experience.

Thank you for connecting with Oliver, I've been following his channel as well and paying attention to his comments. I agree that not everything he is doing is what he should do, but I love that he's just going for it, and learning from his mistakes. I'm certain that you have taught him a ton of stuff, and now I'm excited to see Oliver's next video. Lastly, I offer you respect good sir, for just being an incredible human being. Thank you.

So few of our younger generations have the grit to do the hard or less glamorous things. And he and his gal do it while being full time university students! Color me impressed. When I was in university, any free time was spent with a beer in my hand.😂 (true statement)

    Thank you for the great episode, again! In my opinion this was the best edisode from Wild Homestead so far and I have been watching you from the beginning. And I'm not saying this just because I'm from Finland myself, but this episode was like combined good entertainmentshow and good UA-cam offgrid channel! In general, I like the humor and style in this channel👍, all the elfs, gods etc.😄 I like it a lot! Also I think it's very nice how you reacted to gifts from Oliver.
    One thing you need quickly, is the stones for sauna stove. If there wouldn't be a little ocean between Europe and North America, I would deliver them to you by myself. The sauna is the heart of the cottage/offgrid/ranch, so I hope you get that fixed soon ready for mahtavat löylyt! In our ranch here in Finland, we have 3 saunas and we go to woodsauna every evening. It's always a great way to end the day and also you sleep better after sauna. Joten, mahtavaa settiä kokonaisuudessaan James, jatka samaa rataa videoiden kanssa! Toivon todella, että projektisi etenevät kuten olet suunnitellut ja jaat nämä kokemukset kanssamme. Ja kiitokset hienoista jaksoista tähän asti! Tulipahan jotain purtavaa tässä suomeksikin...😄
