What do the North Pole and our cabin have in common? We're both experiencing a polar vortex!! If you're not familiar with the term, it's basically extremely cold storm of ice and snow, normally only found at the North and South poles of our planet. But occasionally, the storm comes down south, and temperatures drop as low as -40! This can result in icy weather as far south as California, Texas and even Mexico. In the past we've escaped to warmer weather in our van, but this time we've decided to stay in the eye of the storm and embrace the weather in the woods! As you can imagine, braving a storm with limited supplies and power off the grid poses additional challenges. One of our main sources of heat is our wood stove, which makes things precarious when we run out of wood. So we raided our stash and got enough to hopefully last the storm. And speaking of logs, we finally got our Cinderella incinerator toilet working!! Yes, it literally burns our poop! And no, we won't be using that as a heat source. We made due with our wood stove, though it was still freezing. And while not having to go to the bathroom outside was a game changer, we gave a little peak behind the scenes on how frustrating it's been not being able to wash the dishes--something that's easy to take for granted. But despite these challenges, we were still able to find joy in the beauty of the storm, and reaffirmed that we can truly handle anything life throws our way, as long as we have each other! Do you have any tips on making it through the cold months? What keeps you going? Comment below!

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!
