[tense music playing]
2
00:00:09,468 --> 00:00:11,303
[Matty] Everything is
tougher in the winter.
3
00:00:12,138 --> 00:00:13,138
Oh.
4
00:00:15,057 --> 00:00:17,518
[Emilie] We have to be really
careful. Anything can go wrong.
5
00:00:17,643 --> 00:00:19,019
Gilbert, do you need help?
6
00:00:20,271 --> 00:00:23,149
You're working at heights, you're
working with heavy, awkward things.
7
00:00:23,274 --> 00:00:24,108
[grunting]
8
00:00:24,233 --> 00:00:26,235
God, the nearest
hospital is hours away.
9
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:32,324
[Margot] In the city, every little
basic things are taken for granted.
10
00:00:33,743 --> 00:00:37,163
Here, if I just want to
be warm, it's not easy.
11
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:40,291
[chuckles] It's a mess.
12
00:00:41,125 --> 00:00:44,170
The nature is not the enemy,
okay, but it's not the friend.
13
00:00:46,464 --> 00:00:49,383
I mean, without the kids here,
it's not, it's not a home yet.
14
00:00:52,178 --> 00:00:53,471
This will be the top, this way.
15
00:00:53,596 --> 00:00:54,847
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
16
00:00:54,972 --> 00:00:56,015
The measurements?
17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,225
I haven't thought
about it at all.
18
00:00:58,350 --> 00:00:59,727
Fucked that one up good.
19
00:01:00,728 --> 00:01:04,398
[Matty] This is Canada, winter's coming,
so you may as well fucking enjoy it.
20
00:01:04,857 --> 00:01:05,857
Whoo hoo!
21
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,277
[theme music playing]
22
00:01:13,991 --> 00:01:17,286
[soft music playing]
23
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:24,585
[Margot] In the
winter, it's very dark.
24
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:27,129
You just have a couple hours
of daylight during the day.
25
00:01:29,006 --> 00:01:30,090
It's a little gloomy.
26
00:01:38,307 --> 00:01:39,892
[chainsaw buzzing]
27
00:01:40,851 --> 00:01:43,979
I'm working on the windows, so I can
have some more light in the cabin.
28
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:48,359
Making this place a
little more liveable.
29
00:01:49,944 --> 00:01:51,487
I don't come here to survive.
30
00:01:52,947 --> 00:01:53,948
That's way better.
31
00:01:55,241 --> 00:01:57,701
I just want to
thrive and live here.
32
00:01:58,536 --> 00:02:01,413
So, I'm trying to make
this place a home.
33
00:02:05,042 --> 00:02:06,627
[birds chirping]
34
00:02:07,711 --> 00:02:10,965
[rhythmic music playing]
35
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:14,885
I'm putting some moss in
the bottoms for insulation.
36
00:02:17,263 --> 00:02:20,349
I can't mess this up because I
have only one window with me.
37
00:02:21,183 --> 00:02:24,520
So, if I break my
window, I have a hole.
38
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,565
Every piece of wood
is full of ice.
39
00:02:31,944 --> 00:02:32,987
[lhuckles]
40
00:02:33,112 --> 00:02:36,782
It is nerve-racking if I smash
the window when I'm hammering it.
41
00:02:36,907 --> 00:02:38,242
It's, it's over.
42
00:02:38,868 --> 00:02:41,328
My fingers are pretty
much frozen right now.
43
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:46,667
It's in.
44
00:02:47,793 --> 00:02:48,793
Okay.
45
00:02:49,128 --> 00:02:52,089
Would have been depressing living
in there without the window.
46
00:02:52,214 --> 00:02:56,093
The window adds a little bit
of light inside, so it's great.
47
00:02:56,218 --> 00:03:00,514
Just need to get a
stove, so I can move in.
48
00:03:05,102 --> 00:03:07,021
[soft music playing]
49
00:03:07,146 --> 00:03:10,774
The Yukon is a pretty
cold place in the winter.
50
00:03:11,442 --> 00:03:14,069
It can drop to -50.
51
00:03:16,447 --> 00:03:19,533
I'm going to check if
Plunkett's stove is usable.
52
00:03:20,618 --> 00:03:23,287
That would save me some
time if I can just take it.
53
00:03:24,747 --> 00:03:27,207
That's kind of sketchy.
54
00:03:28,626 --> 00:03:30,419
Yeah, that's the
roof falling apart.
55
00:03:30,878 --> 00:03:35,090
All this part is rotten and
everything is, everything is falling.
56
00:03:35,591 --> 00:03:37,968
It's frozen, so it
shouldn't fall on my head.
57
00:03:38,093 --> 00:03:39,093
Hopefully.
58
00:03:42,598 --> 00:03:44,016
[sighs]
59
00:03:46,602 --> 00:03:48,020
Try to knock that down.
60
00:03:53,442 --> 00:03:55,653
This stove is made
out of a barrel.
61
00:03:55,778 --> 00:03:57,112
Lots of people in the north
62
00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:00,324
or just in the bush in
general use those stoves.
63
00:04:00,449 --> 00:04:01,449
They're very efficient.
64
00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:04,161
They're very thick and
they hold a lot of heat.
65
00:04:08,499 --> 00:04:09,667
It's pretty rusty.
66
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,544
There's a couple of holes, so...
67
00:04:15,506 --> 00:04:17,216
It's kind of falling
apart at the bottom,
68
00:04:17,341 --> 00:04:21,220
I don't think it would
be too good to use.
69
00:04:22,179 --> 00:04:23,179
It's too bad.
70
00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:27,518
I have a backup plan, so I was hoping
this would be good and save me some time,
71
00:04:27,643 --> 00:04:33,315
but I'm just going to build what I had
in mind, and hopefully, it works out.
72
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:40,781
I think it's the most important
thing, being a problem solver,
73
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:44,868
because you don't have internet
to check Google to help you,
74
00:04:44,994 --> 00:04:47,037
or you don't have the
neighbour to come help you.
75
00:04:47,162 --> 00:04:49,248
You have to just
figure shit out.
76
00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:54,086
I'm looking for a barrel,
so I can build a stove.
77
00:04:54,211 --> 00:04:58,841
Those barrels are here since
the mine closed in the 80s.
78
00:05:00,092 --> 00:05:01,385
This one has a hole.
79
00:05:02,386 --> 00:05:05,639
I'm looking for one where
the metal is thicker
80
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:10,185
and where there is obviously no holes
and, or it's in pretty good shape.
81
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,896
These ones are too rusty.
82
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:19,987
I know there is more over
there, so I'm just gonna...
83
00:05:20,571 --> 00:05:23,240
I'm going to keep digging
around and find the perfect one.
84
00:05:25,743 --> 00:05:28,162
[soft music playing]
85
00:05:28,287 --> 00:05:29,413
This one is buried.
86
00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:35,919
This one is empty.
87
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:39,882
Some are old fuel for planes.
88
00:05:40,591 --> 00:05:41,800
Some are oil.
89
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:44,720
Pretty good shape.
It's not rusty.
90
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:49,308
I don't see any holes so
far, and it's pretty thick.
91
00:05:50,559 --> 00:05:51,559
It should work.
92
00:05:55,814 --> 00:05:56,814
Okay.
93
00:06:10,621 --> 00:06:12,831
[soft music playing]
94
00:06:12,956 --> 00:06:15,209
[Matty] Everything's a
little tougher in the winter,
95
00:06:16,043 --> 00:06:17,586
especially when it's
cold and windy...
96
00:06:19,254 --> 00:06:22,174
and it's very easy to be
encouraged to stay inside.
97
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,476
One way to embrace the winter
out here is get out ice fishing.
98
00:06:36,605 --> 00:06:38,190
Framing up the walls here.
99
00:06:42,486 --> 00:06:45,697
Newfoundland's windy a lot of the
time and nobody wants to sit on a lake
100
00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:47,950
in this kind of wind and
go ice fishing all day.
101
00:06:48,826 --> 00:06:51,829
That's the point of building this
shack, to keep you out of this wind.
102
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:01,380
See how she's gonna fit.
103
00:07:03,215 --> 00:07:04,216
Oh, yeah. Perfect.
104
00:07:05,384 --> 00:07:07,636
Fishing season is a
short window around here.
105
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:13,892
Been working so much lately, I'm
ready to go relax and do some fishing.
106
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:20,399
This is going to be a real
Dr. Seuss, Dr. Seuss shack, this one.
107
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:23,861
[sighs]
108
00:07:24,695 --> 00:07:26,446
Oh, God, I'm an idiot.
109
00:07:26,572 --> 00:07:30,742
This should have been all the way over
to make these two walls one, right here.
110
00:07:30,868 --> 00:07:33,120
[suspenseful music playing]
111
00:07:33,245 --> 00:07:34,913
Now, I gotta jerry
rig something up.
112
00:07:35,038 --> 00:07:36,081
I don't even know what.
113
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:38,292
Fucked that one up good.
114
00:07:39,877 --> 00:07:41,545
Not paying attention
to what I'm doing.
115
00:07:42,546 --> 00:07:43,839
What a dumbass.
116
00:07:45,007 --> 00:07:47,676
That should have been right
over there. Top, top plate.
117
00:07:49,428 --> 00:07:52,389
Failures are a part of it. You just
got to keep on going through it.
118
00:07:53,307 --> 00:07:54,308
Like that.
119
00:07:54,850 --> 00:07:57,019
Who fucking cares if you
fail, there's no one to see,
120
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:59,313
especially out here living
this kind of lifestyle.
121
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:04,234
It happens when you rush.
122
00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:09,990
[upbeat music playing]
123
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:11,533
No one will ever know.
124
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:16,747
A word of wisdom for
an aspiring carpenter,
125
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:20,167
don't make it too perfect,
everyone makes shit too perfect.
126
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:22,211
You want to make
something perfect?
127
00:08:22,336 --> 00:08:25,005
Go work in the city, where
building inspectors are.
128
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,258
Out here, perfection
is just a word.
129
00:08:28,926 --> 00:08:32,512
Perfection is this, that
wind blowing across the lake,
130
00:08:32,638 --> 00:08:34,598
that sun, not building.
131
00:08:35,224 --> 00:08:36,308
Just do it and enjoy it.
132
00:08:39,561 --> 00:08:41,146
Got to love work in the winter.
133
00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:46,276
I think most people shy away from
winter because of their situation...
134
00:08:47,319 --> 00:08:50,447
being locked up in the city in the
winter time, you know, is hell.
135
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:53,784
Going from house to
a cold car to work.
136
00:08:54,368 --> 00:08:58,163
When you're out living in the woods,
wintertime is, oh my God, it's magical.
137
00:08:58,914 --> 00:09:02,125
Just out here, breathing this cold,
fresh air, oh, God, it's good.
138
00:09:05,087 --> 00:09:06,213
[dog barking]
139
00:09:06,338 --> 00:09:08,924
What's wrong, Ron?
Too cold for Ronnie.
140
00:09:10,968 --> 00:09:11,968
Go have a nap.
141
00:09:13,637 --> 00:09:14,637
Big sook.
142
00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:28,944
[soft music playing]
143
00:09:31,989 --> 00:09:34,616
[Billy] You've got to take
care of yourself here.
144
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:39,204
Sometimes, you get a chance
to rest, but most of the time,
145
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:40,649
it's just work,
work, work, work.
146
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:46,628
[chuckles] It's a mess.
147
00:09:49,548 --> 00:09:51,049
Oh, man. It's so dirty.
148
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:56,471
I want a place, you know, just to
clean up and to relax after a long day,
149
00:09:57,139 --> 00:09:59,891
so I'm turning this whole
shed into a bathhouse.
150
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:01,727
Years of dust.
151
00:10:03,562 --> 00:10:04,646
Mice poop.
152
00:10:07,649 --> 00:10:08,649
And that's about it.
153
00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:11,737
Next step, the chimney.
154
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:17,576
My sledgehammer.
155
00:10:19,703 --> 00:10:24,750
It's just so rotten, it's been there
for, you know, more than ten years.
156
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:27,002
It's finished. It's done.
157
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:32,507
[upbeat music playing]
158
00:10:33,967 --> 00:10:35,010
[grunting]
159
00:10:36,428 --> 00:10:40,349
Three full days it took me to build
this stick and mud chimney, and now...
160
00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:43,602
those three days are gone.
161
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:48,190
Life in the bush doesn't
need to be harsh.
162
00:10:49,107 --> 00:10:52,611
And after all this work, I'm
going to appreciate the bath.
163
00:10:53,737 --> 00:10:57,324
You know, you can use the river, but
in wintertime, man, that's, whew.
164
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:00,869
I don't want to freeze my ass,
it's like, whew, too much.
165
00:11:02,037 --> 00:11:04,456
I'm looking forward my
happy moment in the woods.
166
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:05,581
[laughs]
167
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:07,583
All right.
168
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:14,049
A bathhouse, it
needs to be homey.
169
00:11:14,966 --> 00:11:19,096
I want very nice indoor
walls with lights even.
170
00:11:19,221 --> 00:11:21,264
You know, to make it
like on Instagram.
171
00:11:22,391 --> 00:11:23,934
[laughs]
172
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:29,356
It's not levelled at all,
the walls are just this way.
173
00:11:30,482 --> 00:11:32,484
Oh, well, that's the way it is.
174
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:38,198
13.
175
00:11:40,742 --> 00:11:41,743
Oh.
176
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:48,417
Oh!
177
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:54,047
I'm losing daylight, so I've got to
get my wood stove before it gets dark.
178
00:11:55,841 --> 00:11:58,969
[rhythmic music playing]
179
00:11:59,094 --> 00:12:02,556
All right. The wood stove
must be somewhere in here.
180
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:11,772
Oh!
181
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:14,192
Shit!
182
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:17,612
Fa... ah.
183
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:22,909
It got rusty, and
the feet are just...
184
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:25,495
[grunting]
185
00:12:29,458 --> 00:12:32,669
It's just frozen
with the ground...
186
00:12:34,296 --> 00:12:39,342
and I don't want to knock it off,
otherwise it will just crack and snap.
187
00:12:44,222 --> 00:12:45,056
[grunting]
188
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:47,559
Always something new, always.
189
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:59,613
[soft music playing]
190
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:08,872
[Gilbert] This is my first
time building a house.
191
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:12,834
I'm not freaked out
because I know I can do it.
192
00:13:14,753 --> 00:13:16,296
[Emilie] Whew! I'm getting hot.
193
00:13:17,255 --> 00:13:19,758
Can just take off a layer
and you're still good.
194
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:24,346
This is going to be
our construction zone.
195
00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:27,015
Start working on the walls.
196
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:29,309
Each wall should go
up within ten minutes.
197
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:31,102
- Ten Gilbert minutes.
- Yeah.
198
00:13:31,228 --> 00:13:33,313
It only takes, what, about
three hours to do walls?
199
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:36,608
Three hours? So ten minutes each wall
and then three hours, we're done?
200
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,401
- Yeah.
- Where's your math?
201
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:39,527
[Gilbert chuckles]
202
00:13:39,611 --> 00:13:40,737
All right, let's do it.
203
00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:47,827
Maybe you should do
it? Want me to do it?
204
00:13:47,953 --> 00:13:49,788
- Yeah, you might do it.
- I need glasses.
205
00:13:50,622 --> 00:13:51,622
There you go.
206
00:13:51,957 --> 00:13:52,957
Safety first.
207
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:54,334
[laughter]
208
00:13:55,794 --> 00:13:56,794
Okay.
209
00:13:57,337 --> 00:13:58,337
All right.
210
00:13:59,256 --> 00:14:01,424
Just practice one. Like that.
211
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,635
- All right, go slow.
- Okay.
212
00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:06,930
When you want to build something,
you have to have a plan.
213
00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:08,682
There isn't that much lumber.
214
00:14:09,224 --> 00:14:12,310
We get our stuff on the winter route,
it takes about a week to get here.
215
00:14:14,354 --> 00:14:15,354
Whoa.
216
00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:17,022
Yeah, that's good.
217
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,900
- I'm off.
- But it's off.
218
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:20,193
It should still work, right?
219
00:14:20,318 --> 00:14:21,903
[Gilbert] Maybe? Do another one.
220
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:23,655
Okay, maybe you should
do it this time.
221
00:14:23,780 --> 00:14:24,656
All right.
222
00:14:24,781 --> 00:14:26,866
[Emilie] Gilbert's an
amazing person to work with.
223
00:14:26,992 --> 00:14:30,579
He'll take the time to show me things
and not get frustrated with me.
224
00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:32,414
Okay. I mean...
225
00:14:32,998 --> 00:14:34,874
- Yours is better.
- Mine is better?
226
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,127
[laughter]
227
00:14:37,252 --> 00:14:40,547
- Mine is way better.
- Yeah, we'll have to use that one.
228
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:42,817
- [Emilie] Is that the last piece?
- [Gilbert] Yeah.
229
00:14:42,841 --> 00:14:43,717
[Emilie] Oh, nice.
230
00:14:43,842 --> 00:14:45,302
It's good. Oh yeah, it's good.
231
00:14:45,427 --> 00:14:47,846
- It's really not that bad.
- Sit it right there on the edge.
232
00:14:47,971 --> 00:14:48,971
[Gilbert] Lift.
233
00:14:50,098 --> 00:14:52,267
Gilbert is easygoing, laid back.
234
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:53,392
Just kick it.
235
00:14:54,853 --> 00:14:55,937
Nice, we're done.
236
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:57,563
Next wall.
237
00:14:58,315 --> 00:15:01,359
But, you know, sometimes,
I do have to ask him
238
00:15:01,484 --> 00:15:03,987
a couple different times,
"Are you sure this?"
239
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:05,989
And it'll change.
240
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:09,951
He might say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's good, it's good." But it's not.
241
00:15:10,452 --> 00:15:13,038
Hang on. We got to think
about this for a minute.
242
00:15:14,623 --> 00:15:16,499
- Where's the...
- Top?
243
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:18,918
One of them is
going to be the top.
244
00:15:19,044 --> 00:15:20,545
This will be the top, this way.
245
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:21,921
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
246
00:15:22,505 --> 00:15:23,632
Flip this way around?
247
00:15:24,382 --> 00:15:25,382
No.
248
00:15:27,844 --> 00:15:30,305
Are you sure? Oh, yeah.
249
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:32,682
Okay. Perfect.
250
00:15:34,225 --> 00:15:37,729
You know, everyone has
their negative points.
251
00:15:38,313 --> 00:15:40,398
Like, I don't want
him to change.
252
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:45,070
It doesn't annoy me, I would take
that over somebody yelling at me
253
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:47,530
and being impatient with
me any time of the day.
254
00:15:47,656 --> 00:15:50,075
Oh, we're halfway done, Gilbert.
255
00:15:52,035 --> 00:15:53,035
That's good.
256
00:15:55,872 --> 00:15:59,334
Try to be a little bit more niche
because that's where the, the stud is.
257
00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:01,710
[Emilie] Oh, yeah.
258
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:04,255
So, am I going to have to redo
it? I totally forgot about it.
259
00:16:04,381 --> 00:16:05,215
No, no, no, it's okay.
260
00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:06,174
Yeah.
261
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:09,010
[upbeat music playing]
262
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:10,970
- I can do that part.
- Okay.
263
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:13,640
[Gilbert grunts]
264
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,688
[Emilie] Let's get it done.
It's getting really cold.
265
00:16:20,063 --> 00:16:24,109
- Whoa, we're going to flip it this way?
- No, we're turning it this way.
266
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:25,234
Okay.
267
00:16:25,318 --> 00:16:26,736
Isn't that what we talked about?
268
00:16:26,861 --> 00:16:28,071
[laughs]
269
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:31,241
What are you doing?
270
00:16:31,783 --> 00:16:33,034
I'm just putting this away.
271
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,286
It goes on the side.
272
00:16:37,914 --> 00:16:39,916
All right. All right.
273
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:42,210
I feel like we don't know
what we're doing right now.
274
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:44,337
I'm getting more
impatient with this.
275
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:47,507
And when you're tired and
it's the end of the day,
276
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,884
that's when you make mistakes.
277
00:16:50,635 --> 00:16:52,137
- [Emilie] Ow.
- [Gilbert] Oh, sorry.
278
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:56,474
- There you go.
- Thank you.
279
00:16:57,517 --> 00:17:01,688
[Emilie] I feel like before,
when I was living in the city...
280
00:17:02,814 --> 00:17:06,025
I was always trying to live
according to standards.
281
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:09,571
Big house, big car.
282
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:12,657
- We're done.
- Yeah.
283
00:17:13,742 --> 00:17:16,035
- All right.
- Yeah!
284
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:19,956
And then tomorrow, another wall.
285
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:23,501
Right? If you want
a mansion loft.
286
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:25,128
[Emilie] I don't
want a mansion loft.
287
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:28,047
I just want to have something
with a roof over our head.
288
00:17:30,675 --> 00:17:34,179
But here, I don't have to stress
about living a certain way,
289
00:17:34,304 --> 00:17:37,390
I get to do what makes
myself feel happy.
290
00:17:39,309 --> 00:17:42,228
And that's a really good feeling,
when you're at that point.
291
00:17:46,858 --> 00:17:49,194
[soft music playing]
292
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:52,655
[Matty] I definitely feel like a
black sheep compared to my peers.
293
00:17:54,616 --> 00:17:57,285
They're all focussed
on career or family.
294
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:59,287
Sometimes, I can feel
self-conscious about it.
295
00:18:01,873 --> 00:18:05,418
But, at the end of the day, I
do know this is what I want.
296
00:18:08,671 --> 00:18:12,759
[Margot] I went to university
in France, in the city,
297
00:18:12,884 --> 00:18:16,304
and that was pretty
insane for me.
298
00:18:18,973 --> 00:18:20,683
I just felt dead inside.
299
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:24,854
[Billy] Everybody
has their own path.
300
00:18:25,522 --> 00:18:26,648
You just do your life.
301
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:28,900
Follow your choice,
follow your heart.
302
00:18:30,485 --> 00:18:33,696
In my life, what is important
is just to follow my passion.
303
00:18:35,698 --> 00:18:36,491
Whoo!
304
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:38,785
And enjoy the day
to day, and do it.
305
00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:41,287
It's strong. [laughs]
306
00:18:41,788 --> 00:18:42,788
Whoo!
307
00:18:49,254 --> 00:18:52,590
[soft music playing]
308
00:18:58,263 --> 00:19:04,018
[Margot] Modern life is a little too easy
or a little too boring, I don't know.
309
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:05,144
[chuckles]
310
00:19:06,062 --> 00:19:08,940
I need hard work and something
that makes you feel alive,
311
00:19:09,065 --> 00:19:12,235
not just like I go to work
and I come home and watch TV.
312
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:21,202
So, that's going to be
the door of the stove.
313
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:25,415
I've used some stoves
made out of barrels,
314
00:19:25,957 --> 00:19:30,003
but I've never actually
made one myself.
315
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:32,130
I'll just see how it goes.
316
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:39,304
I don't have any power with me
here, so I'm only using hand tools.
317
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:45,393
It's not the most precise way
to do it, but it's what I got.
318
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,608
I need to use my brain.
319
00:19:53,902 --> 00:19:56,029
I'm going to try to start
the hole with a nail.
320
00:19:56,821 --> 00:20:02,285
Sometimes, nothing that you planned
works, so, just gotta figure it out.
321
00:20:04,245 --> 00:20:06,915
Instead of sometimes
being a dumb strong,
322
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,044
you just want to use your
brain and save some energy.
323
00:20:16,591 --> 00:20:17,926
Almost through.
324
00:20:20,678 --> 00:20:22,138
Little success.
325
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:31,314
It's not a fast process.
326
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:35,859
[sighs]
327
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:38,904
Ah, fuck.
328
00:20:41,074 --> 00:20:44,452
Time is a precious
resource in the woods.
329
00:20:46,204 --> 00:20:47,204
It's hanging there.
330
00:20:51,876 --> 00:20:55,004
Because when you come in the
bush, it's not to rush around
331
00:20:55,129 --> 00:20:57,423
and, you know, have a fast life.
332
00:20:59,550 --> 00:21:02,512
You want to enjoy the slow life.
333
00:21:03,930 --> 00:21:06,182
I'm just figuring out where
the legs are going to be,
334
00:21:06,307 --> 00:21:09,394
so the door is not all crooked.
335
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:13,690
But at the same time, there
is so much stuff to do
336
00:21:13,815 --> 00:21:16,901
and there's so much things that
need to be done in one day.
337
00:21:17,026 --> 00:21:18,026
All right.
338
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:24,742
So it's, it's a fine balance.
339
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:27,620
Legs are good.
340
00:21:27,745 --> 00:21:30,415
Uh, next, I have to cut
the hole for the pipe.
341
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:41,134
[metal clanging]
342
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:46,097
[rhythmic music playing]
343
00:21:52,061 --> 00:21:56,816
Everything seems to
be pretty airtight,
344
00:21:56,941 --> 00:22:00,403
but I just got to light a fire
in there to burn everything off,
345
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:01,946
and it's good to go.
346
00:22:05,992 --> 00:22:11,122
That was a fuel barrel, so there is
still a little bit of gas at the bottom,
347
00:22:11,247 --> 00:22:13,583
and all the paint
needs to be burnt.
348
00:22:14,876 --> 00:22:18,254
Otherwise it's going to be pretty
toxic if I light a fire in the cabin.
349
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:22,592
So, I want to burn everything
outside and then put it in.
350
00:22:27,764 --> 00:22:30,266
It's super satisfying
to see this done.
351
00:22:30,391 --> 00:22:32,894
Just being able to do
it without much tools
352
00:22:33,019 --> 00:22:34,896
and just with what I
have, it's pretty cool.
353
00:22:35,438 --> 00:22:37,190
It's gonna be a good
stove for the cabin.
354
00:22:45,823 --> 00:22:48,993
[soft music playing]
355
00:22:49,118 --> 00:22:51,245
[Matty] One challenge of
working out here in winter
356
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,956
is all the ice and snow
building up on all the wood.
357
00:23:01,089 --> 00:23:02,340
That one's really icy.
358
00:23:09,972 --> 00:23:11,766
Definitely don't want
to fall off up here.
359
00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:13,935
God, the nearest
hospital's hours away.
360
00:23:17,814 --> 00:23:18,815
Oof.
361
00:23:21,442 --> 00:23:23,152
All right, to start
to work on siding.
362
00:23:33,371 --> 00:23:34,455
Keep the wind out.
363
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:37,333
Keep it the ideal fishing tent.
364
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:42,170
Sweet.
365
00:23:42,672 --> 00:23:43,714
Okay, window.
366
00:23:46,008 --> 00:23:48,427
I really feel bad for people
who are doing nine to five...
367
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:52,515
and they get their Saturday
and Sunday off each week.
368
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,516
That's it?
369
00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:56,602
[uplifting music playing]
370
00:23:59,147 --> 00:24:01,107
God, that just does
something for me.
371
00:24:01,232 --> 00:24:03,901
It's... so natural looking.
372
00:24:04,026 --> 00:24:05,153
So beautiful.
373
00:24:07,238 --> 00:24:09,574
How the hell do you do
anything with two days off?
374
00:24:11,033 --> 00:24:12,910
Not enough time to get
your shit together.
375
00:24:14,078 --> 00:24:15,204
That's a nice fit.
376
00:24:22,753 --> 00:24:24,005
It just looks so good to me.
377
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:25,756
Something a little
boy would dream up,
378
00:24:25,882 --> 00:24:29,594
like a little wooden shack, add
some skis, pull your skidoo.
379
00:24:29,719 --> 00:24:31,846
I mean, it's just so cool.
380
00:24:32,763 --> 00:24:34,724
Can't wait to drag
this thing up the pond.
381
00:24:34,849 --> 00:24:36,517
Curious how it's going to pull.
382
00:24:37,518 --> 00:24:38,811
I mean, it's windy out there.
383
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:40,938
Decent chance it
could blow over,
384
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:43,941
a decent chance, but put her in
first gear and see what happens.
385
00:24:45,234 --> 00:24:46,903
[beeping]
386
00:24:51,199 --> 00:24:52,700
Yeah, since we're
on the hill here...
387
00:24:53,868 --> 00:24:56,078
I'm worried about once
this thing gets moving,
388
00:24:56,204 --> 00:24:59,040
it's gonna keep, keep going and
bang into the back of the slide
389
00:24:59,165 --> 00:25:01,083
and get out of control.
So, since I'm here alone
390
00:25:01,209 --> 00:25:05,421
with no one else to help, I think, really,
the thing to do is tie an anchor to it.
391
00:25:06,339 --> 00:25:07,339
A heavy load.
392
00:25:07,423 --> 00:25:09,967
[rhythmic music playing]
393
00:25:10,092 --> 00:25:11,636
No idea what's going
to happen here.
394
00:25:13,721 --> 00:25:14,847
Here's the anchor.
395
00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:18,809
That should slow down a bit.
396
00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:24,106
You know you're a hillbilly when
you're using ratchet straps this much.
397
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:29,277
Need more anchor.
398
00:25:30,905 --> 00:25:32,240
All right, that's it.
399
00:25:35,826 --> 00:25:38,829
Before we set off, I went to check
the ice to make sure it was safe.
400
00:25:41,707 --> 00:25:44,293
You have to be careful when
you're alone in the wilderness.
401
00:25:45,378 --> 00:25:46,921
It's been cold as hell lately,
402
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:49,715
but it's always good to have
a check, you never know.
403
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:54,512
Oh my God, so many
people out here...
404
00:25:55,304 --> 00:25:57,723
you know, bite the bullet
by going through the ice.
405
00:25:58,683 --> 00:26:01,852
Growing up in Newfoundland, we
would always hear these stories,
406
00:26:01,978 --> 00:26:04,939
always be warned of the ice,
and how many people drown,
407
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:06,691
and people do every year.
408
00:26:06,816 --> 00:26:08,484
It's very sad to
say it was true.
409
00:26:09,402 --> 00:26:11,028
I really don't want
to be one of them.
410
00:26:13,072 --> 00:26:14,115
That's a lot of ice.
411
00:26:14,991 --> 00:26:15,992
Well over a foot.
412
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:20,538
So, no worries about the ice and breaking
through with that little fishing shack.
413
00:26:21,205 --> 00:26:23,916
It's more this wind,
she could roll over.
414
00:26:25,751 --> 00:26:26,752
See what happens.
415
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:37,221
[Billy] This is winter.
416
00:26:37,346 --> 00:26:38,848
It's beautiful, but it's hard.
417
00:26:42,977 --> 00:26:44,145
Right now, it's just...
418
00:26:45,062 --> 00:26:46,731
[clears throat] frozen.
419
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:48,189
Doesn't move.
420
00:26:49,942 --> 00:26:54,363
The nature is not the enemy, okay,
but is not the friend, friendly buddy.
421
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:55,989
It's there.
422
00:26:56,365 --> 00:26:57,575
I've got something in mind.
423
00:26:57,700 --> 00:26:59,035
Yeah. Gonna try it.
424
00:26:59,952 --> 00:27:03,581
So, you just have to know
how to accept, to go forward.
425
00:27:07,209 --> 00:27:09,712
Oh, yeah!
426
00:27:09,837 --> 00:27:10,837
[chuckles]
427
00:27:11,213 --> 00:27:12,840
One leg at a time.
428
00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:15,259
[rhythmic music playing]
429
00:27:15,384 --> 00:27:18,721
Oh, this one is good
also, oh my friend.
430
00:27:21,265 --> 00:27:23,267
[grunting] Yeah.
It's still heavy.
431
00:27:23,726 --> 00:27:25,478
No, nothing is
easy in this world.
432
00:27:25,603 --> 00:27:27,730
[laughs] Oof.
433
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:29,314
Okay.
434
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:32,985
[grunting]
435
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:34,110
Okay.
436
00:27:44,538 --> 00:27:45,538
There we go.
437
00:27:48,542 --> 00:27:51,003
I'm just going to lie
it here until I need it.
438
00:27:51,796 --> 00:27:53,589
Got to finish the walls first.
439
00:27:57,385 --> 00:28:01,013
[rhythmic music playing]
440
00:28:05,476 --> 00:28:07,895
This is longer than I expected.
441
00:28:09,522 --> 00:28:12,024
And it always takes more time.
442
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:13,234
Always.
443
00:28:14,568 --> 00:28:19,573
And the wet snow today is not
helping at all for the boards,
444
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:22,743
they're so thin, so they
get, you know, twisted.
445
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:28,666
So, we'll see how, how I will be
able to fit them into the wall.
446
00:28:31,961 --> 00:28:36,257
Oh, it's so hard to get
the tongue into the groove.
447
00:28:38,843 --> 00:28:40,469
You see. Oh.
448
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:43,013
Do this one. Oh,
yeah. [laughs]
449
00:28:44,056 --> 00:28:45,056
Oh.
450
00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:48,686
Okay, perfect. I'm just
going to nail it down here.
451
00:28:53,607 --> 00:28:54,859
It doesn't want to fit.
452
00:28:55,276 --> 00:28:56,276
Oh.
453
00:28:57,528 --> 00:28:58,528
[sighs]
454
00:29:00,781 --> 00:29:02,825
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
455
00:29:03,701 --> 00:29:09,701
After finishing this wall, I'm just going
to do the fine work around the edges.
456
00:29:10,374 --> 00:29:14,336
And then, that will
be the woodstove.
457
00:29:15,463 --> 00:29:19,675
Yeah. Planning to put the
wood stove around here.
458
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,801
The chimney.
459
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:23,012
You know, I haven't...
oh, my friend,
460
00:29:23,888 --> 00:29:27,349
I haven't thought about the
chimney yet, from the wood stove.
461
00:29:28,225 --> 00:29:30,936
Okay, I haven't thought
about it so far.
462
00:29:31,061 --> 00:29:32,605
Oh, right.
463
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:35,608
I haven't thought
about it at all.
464
00:29:47,411 --> 00:29:49,872
[soft music playing]
465
00:29:51,957 --> 00:29:55,503
Today, we're just going to
slap on the walls, the plywood.
466
00:29:55,628 --> 00:29:57,546
But first, I'm going
to make a scaffold.
467
00:29:58,589 --> 00:30:02,218
I'm thinking it's 12 feet, but you
gotta always measure before you cut.
468
00:30:02,343 --> 00:30:06,138
Take your time,
instead of rushing.
469
00:30:07,598 --> 00:30:08,974
Yeah, see, it's 10 feet.
470
00:30:09,850 --> 00:30:10,850
See, I was wrong.
471
00:30:11,435 --> 00:30:14,647
A nice, strong, sturdy
scaffold coming right up.
472
00:30:23,656 --> 00:30:26,158
[upbeat music playing]
473
00:30:26,283 --> 00:30:27,283
There you go.
474
00:30:28,577 --> 00:30:31,080
20, oh, it's nothing.
475
00:30:31,705 --> 00:30:32,748
Comfortable for me.
476
00:30:33,582 --> 00:30:37,127
I think we just get used to it,
you build a higher tolerance.
477
00:30:42,633 --> 00:30:43,842
It's done, it's ready to go.
478
00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:46,637
Put in the walls first,
and then, the roof.
479
00:30:48,264 --> 00:30:49,723
All right. Emilie?
480
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:52,351
- [Emilie] Am I going up there?
- Yeah.
481
00:30:53,352 --> 00:30:54,728
I don't like heights.
482
00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:58,440
[suspenseful music playing]
483
00:30:58,566 --> 00:30:59,567
[laughs]
484
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:02,736
I can't. I'm too scared.
485
00:31:05,114 --> 00:31:10,953
I can be in a trauma room and resuscitate
a person, but I can't climb three stairs.
486
00:31:12,121 --> 00:31:13,789
Okay. Hang on.
Let me try again.
487
00:31:13,914 --> 00:31:14,914
Wait, wait, wait.
488
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:16,750
There you go.
489
00:31:18,669 --> 00:31:20,713
Ah. Oh my God.
490
00:31:21,672 --> 00:31:22,673
[Gilbert] There you go.
491
00:31:23,424 --> 00:31:24,424
Better, eh?
492
00:31:25,551 --> 00:31:26,551
It moved.
493
00:31:28,929 --> 00:31:29,929
Ah!
494
00:31:32,683 --> 00:31:34,059
All right. That's good.
495
00:31:34,852 --> 00:31:36,687
Do you feel like
Romeo and Juliet?
496
00:31:36,812 --> 00:31:38,355
[Gilbert] Yeah, yeah.
497
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,690
[Gilbert chuckles]
498
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:42,359
[Emilie] We've been
together for seven years,
499
00:31:42,484 --> 00:31:44,069
and we're recently engaged.
500
00:31:44,862 --> 00:31:48,324
I was kind of wondering when
that proposal was coming.
501
00:31:48,449 --> 00:31:52,995
Man, I've given him three kids, how come
he's not proposing to me? But, whatever.
502
00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:55,080
I just stopped
thinking about it.
503
00:31:55,205 --> 00:31:58,292
But then, he chose the
first full moon of the year.
504
00:31:59,627 --> 00:32:01,587
He gets on his knee and
he pulls out the ring,
505
00:32:01,712 --> 00:32:04,048
and then, he just
asked me to marry him.
506
00:32:04,173 --> 00:32:05,883
And, of course, I said yes.
507
00:32:06,342 --> 00:32:08,010
There you go. [chuckles]
508
00:32:08,135 --> 00:32:10,262
We're going to need to
put a stud right here.
509
00:32:11,263 --> 00:32:13,263
- [Emilie] Oh. What happened?
- [Gilbert] It's off.
510
00:32:13,891 --> 00:32:15,225
Ah, so we messed up.
511
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:18,270
[Gilbert] Yeah. Every four
feet, there's no stud.
512
00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:22,650
Like here, here,
but there's no stud.
513
00:32:23,901 --> 00:32:27,905
There was a slap in the two by
four, so we can put the boards up.
514
00:32:28,238 --> 00:32:31,241
That means we need to use more studs
that we didn't really account for?
515
00:32:31,367 --> 00:32:32,367
Yeah.
516
00:32:33,494 --> 00:32:37,206
So, hopefully, we'll be, we'll have
enough studs to finish the project.
517
00:32:38,415 --> 00:32:40,542
Oh, man, can this day be done?
518
00:32:42,252 --> 00:32:43,252
[Gilbert] Here, right?
519
00:32:45,422 --> 00:32:47,675
[soft music playing]
520
00:32:50,427 --> 00:32:51,303
All right.
521
00:32:51,428 --> 00:32:53,263
I mean, it's just, you
know, it's expected.
522
00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:55,349
I guess it's the first
time we've built a cabin.
523
00:33:01,689 --> 00:33:05,734
I can't believe we got
this looking pretty good
524
00:33:05,859 --> 00:33:08,070
when we had no idea
what we were doing.
525
00:33:09,071 --> 00:33:10,364
I'd say it's rewarding.
526
00:33:11,073 --> 00:33:14,368
More importantly, though,
Gilbert and I aren't married yet,
527
00:33:14,493 --> 00:33:15,869
so I still got to prove myself.
528
00:33:23,043 --> 00:33:25,838
You just got to roll with it.
That's just how it goes in the bush.
529
00:33:25,963 --> 00:33:27,548
In the bush, you
just make it work.
530
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,134
[Margot] I don't
like to give up,
531
00:33:30,551 --> 00:33:32,928
and I don't have any
other choice anyway.
532
00:33:34,471 --> 00:33:36,140
I mean, it's just you.
533
00:33:36,557 --> 00:33:38,517
You have to do it.
There is no other way.
534
00:33:40,644 --> 00:33:42,354
[Billy] There is a
balance in the woods.
535
00:33:43,605 --> 00:33:47,109
Like the angel and the devil,
there is one voice that comes.
536
00:33:48,861 --> 00:33:50,738
You're tired.
There is too much.
537
00:33:50,863 --> 00:33:53,574
And there is another thought
that's come. Yeah, you can do it.
538
00:34:00,831 --> 00:34:02,499
[soft music playing]
539
00:34:02,624 --> 00:34:04,626
[Matty] In Newfoundland,
when everything freezes,
540
00:34:04,752 --> 00:34:06,587
that's when you can move
through the country.
541
00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:08,505
All the bogs, all
the lakes are frozen.
542
00:34:10,758 --> 00:34:14,011
I've always dreamed of having
a little shack like this.
543
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:17,598
On the coldest windiest day,
you'll still be able to get out.
544
00:34:22,686 --> 00:34:23,686
Here we go.
545
00:34:24,646 --> 00:34:26,482
I'm worried about
getting down this hill.
546
00:34:28,901 --> 00:34:29,901
Ooh!
547
00:34:31,195 --> 00:34:34,656
Really, I'm trying to avoid this thing
from slamming into the back of the skidoo.
548
00:34:34,782 --> 00:34:37,117
[rhythmic music playing]
549
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:41,497
It's blowing, and we're, right
now, protected in this little cove.
550
00:34:41,997 --> 00:34:43,874
It'll get worse once
we go down to the lake.
551
00:34:48,045 --> 00:34:49,421
Ronnie. Sit in your seat.
552
00:34:54,551 --> 00:34:56,178
Everyone thinks
their dog is unique,
553
00:34:56,303 --> 00:34:59,848
but I really do feel like Ronnie
is a special, special cat.
554
00:35:01,016 --> 00:35:02,768
He really is in tune
with this place.
555
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,148
We're really threading
a needle with this wind.
556
00:35:12,361 --> 00:35:13,654
Definitely riding the line.
557
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:17,157
But that's why I
built the thing,
558
00:35:17,282 --> 00:35:19,535
I want to be able to go
fishing on these windy days.
559
00:35:22,037 --> 00:35:25,082
And it's one of those things, if she
rolls over, it'll be a good test.
560
00:35:27,751 --> 00:35:31,463
I wasn't sure, in this wind, if it was
going to do it, but it pulls pretty well.
561
00:35:35,801 --> 00:35:37,553
Must be 30, 40 knots right now.
562
00:35:38,762 --> 00:35:40,848
If she can handle this,
she can handle anything.
563
00:35:42,933 --> 00:35:45,561
Just to be able to step off
the skidoo, make five steps,
564
00:35:45,686 --> 00:35:48,730
and then you're right back indoors,
inside of a little mini cabin
565
00:35:48,856 --> 00:35:52,234
with a wood stove and an ice
fishing hole, what a great feeling.
566
00:35:54,987 --> 00:35:56,029
Oh.
567
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:57,990
You like your new
fishing shack, Ronnie?
568
00:35:58,490 --> 00:35:59,700
Ready to start fishing?
569
00:36:04,204 --> 00:36:05,497
Deep ass ice.
570
00:36:06,582 --> 00:36:08,375
There you go, Ronnie.
We got our hole.
571
00:36:09,251 --> 00:36:12,170
What do you think? It's
a good-looking hole.
572
00:36:13,463 --> 00:36:15,173
All right, let's get
our line hooked up.
573
00:36:15,757 --> 00:36:17,843
[soft music playing]
574
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:23,015
Finally fishing
after all that work.
575
00:36:24,766 --> 00:36:25,766
Good, hey, Ron?
576
00:36:28,186 --> 00:36:31,899
Once I got that fishing rod in my
hand, looking out through the window,
577
00:36:32,024 --> 00:36:37,237
howling, howling wind and
being completely warm,
578
00:36:37,362 --> 00:36:40,574
sitting beside Ronnie, worth every
bit of effort to make this thing.
579
00:36:43,452 --> 00:36:44,828
An ice fishing shack like this
580
00:36:44,953 --> 00:36:46,705
really isn't about
getting the fish for me,
581
00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:49,291
it's just about being
here, enjoying winter.
582
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:01,094
[rhythmic music playing]
583
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:03,430
Is it an element
of suffering here?
584
00:37:03,555 --> 00:37:08,268
Yes, but I'm trying to improve
and rebuild to avoid suffering.
585
00:37:09,603 --> 00:37:11,855
Ooh, so this is my last one.
586
00:37:15,984 --> 00:37:17,694
[laughs] I'm very happy.
587
00:37:18,362 --> 00:37:20,906
Whoo! This is amazing.
588
00:37:21,031 --> 00:37:22,908
Can't wait to take
my first bath.
589
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:30,248
I got this bathtub in a
garage sale and, you know,
590
00:37:30,374 --> 00:37:34,628
it's a very nice blue old-fashioned,
would-be hipster look.
591
00:37:38,382 --> 00:37:40,801
For 20 bucks it's still
in good shape, you know.
592
00:37:41,468 --> 00:37:43,011
Should be enough room.
593
00:37:43,136 --> 00:37:44,136
Should be.
594
00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:46,597
[grunting]
595
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,266
Yeah hoo!
596
00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:50,143
Yeah, I've got enough room.
597
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:53,105
This is great. This is great.
598
00:37:54,398 --> 00:37:55,482
[grunting]
599
00:37:56,733 --> 00:38:01,279
I was thinking just to put a
chimney just right through the roof.
600
00:38:02,739 --> 00:38:05,742
I know there is a hole there
because it was an old chimney.
601
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:09,496
So, the hole is here.
602
00:38:16,211 --> 00:38:17,713
[grunting]
603
00:38:20,757 --> 00:38:22,009
I cannot get through.
604
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:23,677
Yeah. It's frozen.
605
00:38:24,970 --> 00:38:25,970
Okay.
606
00:38:27,389 --> 00:38:30,767
Yeah, that's not easy
work, but I need to do it.
607
00:38:31,268 --> 00:38:32,769
More job than expected.
608
00:38:32,894 --> 00:38:35,814
[suspenseful music]
609
00:38:41,987 --> 00:38:42,987
Oh.
610
00:38:45,907 --> 00:38:46,907
Oh.
611
00:38:47,951 --> 00:38:48,951
[sighs]
612
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:56,501
So much ice.
613
00:38:57,961 --> 00:39:00,255
[soft music playing]
614
00:39:07,512 --> 00:39:11,099
This is the dirt
that is on my roof.
615
00:39:11,475 --> 00:39:12,976
So, it's rock.
616
00:39:13,101 --> 00:39:16,229
So, I'm just going to
build up a fire here.
617
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:19,066
You know, it's winter,
everything is just frozen.
618
00:39:21,568 --> 00:39:24,529
Every project, it's
unexpected all the time.
619
00:39:25,530 --> 00:39:27,949
At the beginning you think, "Oh,
that would be easy project."
620
00:39:28,075 --> 00:39:31,495
But at the end, it turned
out like so much work.
621
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:34,122
But at the same time, the
work needs to be done.
622
00:39:34,831 --> 00:39:38,293
Maybe the wood from the
hole stuck in my chimney?
623
00:39:43,131 --> 00:39:44,716
Yeah, it will work.
624
00:39:50,347 --> 00:39:51,347
Okay.
625
00:39:51,807 --> 00:39:54,518
Oh, my friend, it
melt very nicely.
626
00:39:56,228 --> 00:39:57,938
Oh, yeah, that's so easy now.
627
00:39:58,063 --> 00:39:59,439
[laughs]
628
00:39:59,773 --> 00:40:00,773
I got it.
629
00:40:03,777 --> 00:40:05,320
Almost done. Almost done.
630
00:40:06,279 --> 00:40:08,532
[thudding]
631
00:40:09,074 --> 00:40:10,074
[grunting]
632
00:40:12,327 --> 00:40:13,327
Shit, man.
633
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:17,414
Success!
634
00:40:19,084 --> 00:40:22,587
[upbeat music playing]
635
00:40:32,681 --> 00:40:33,682
There we go.
636
00:40:35,725 --> 00:40:38,019
[speaking French]
637
00:40:39,062 --> 00:40:40,480
Ah, so happy.
638
00:40:41,106 --> 00:40:42,816
But I'm not done yet. [laughs]
639
00:40:44,401 --> 00:40:46,027
I'm gonna install some lights.
640
00:40:46,653 --> 00:40:50,365
You know, there is a touch of
luxury, just something nice to see.
641
00:40:50,699 --> 00:40:53,660
Now, cover the hole here.
642
00:40:54,035 --> 00:40:55,120
[grunting]
643
00:40:59,291 --> 00:41:00,709
And I'm just going
to put a tarp.
644
00:41:00,834 --> 00:41:03,336
No wind will come
in, and that's it.
645
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:06,339
I'm going to go and
take my bath now.
646
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:07,841
[laughs]
647
00:41:07,966 --> 00:41:09,342
I'm tired, man.
648
00:41:09,885 --> 00:41:10,885
[sighs]
649
00:41:13,221 --> 00:41:15,348
Oh, man, it looks so nice.
650
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:17,184
I wasn't expecting
to look this good.
651
00:41:17,309 --> 00:41:18,310
I wasn't at all.
652
00:41:20,187 --> 00:41:24,316
You know, this bathhouse
is just one step further
653
00:41:24,441 --> 00:41:27,777
to my dream about
this homestead.
654
00:41:29,821 --> 00:41:33,825
I'm getting there. Slowly
but surely, I'll get there.
655
00:41:38,872 --> 00:41:41,750
In the middle of the bush
and you've got a bathhouse.
656
00:41:41,875 --> 00:41:44,544
[laughs] This is just great.
657
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:46,671
[water splashing]
658
00:41:53,345 --> 00:41:56,181
[soft music playing]
659
00:41:56,848 --> 00:41:58,934
[Emilie] Today is a really
big day. Building a roof.
660
00:41:59,059 --> 00:42:02,145
This is definitely, like,
a more than two-person job.
661
00:42:03,772 --> 00:42:05,732
Jason and Silas are here today.
662
00:42:06,274 --> 00:42:07,817
Gilbert's cousin and nephew.
663
00:42:09,027 --> 00:42:11,696
Jason, he's really
good with making roofs.
664
00:42:12,906 --> 00:42:15,200
Silas, he's here to learn
how to get the job done
665
00:42:15,325 --> 00:42:17,160
so he can maybe
build one, one day.
666
00:42:18,912 --> 00:42:21,081
[Gilbert] All right, we're
just going to lift it here.
667
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,213
Keep pushing it this way.
668
00:42:30,882 --> 00:42:32,092
Push it this way.
669
00:42:32,968 --> 00:42:33,968
Push it this way.
670
00:42:34,511 --> 00:42:35,511
Okay.
671
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:38,556
[grunting]
672
00:42:41,309 --> 00:42:43,937
[Emilie] We have to be really
careful. Anything can go wrong.
673
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:46,940
You're working at heights, you're
working with heavy, awkward things.
674
00:42:47,649 --> 00:42:49,109
Just got to move
it a little bit.
675
00:42:51,236 --> 00:42:52,237
It's good.
676
00:42:53,113 --> 00:42:54,322
[Emilie] Looks good, though.
677
00:42:54,656 --> 00:42:56,283
- Yeah, looks good.
- Looks promising.
678
00:43:00,078 --> 00:43:02,664
[rhythmic music playing]
679
00:43:09,879 --> 00:43:11,381
Ah, it's going to look good.
680
00:43:13,883 --> 00:43:16,761
You know, I always say it takes
a community to raise a family,
681
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:19,264
and it takes a community
to build a homestead.
682
00:43:19,806 --> 00:43:22,434
And, you know, they're helping
us now, but down the road,
683
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:25,854
we're going to be helping them as well,
so it's we're always helping each other.
684
00:43:25,979 --> 00:43:27,939
And I really love that
about this community.
685
00:43:29,399 --> 00:43:31,651
I did a lot of hard work
to put that sheet up.
686
00:43:31,776 --> 00:43:33,194
I'm just kidding. [laughs]
687
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:34,362
I didn't.
688
00:43:35,989 --> 00:43:37,490
It's looking a lot like a home.
689
00:43:38,658 --> 00:43:40,778
- [Gilbert] The last piece.
- [Emilie] The last piece.
690
00:43:40,869 --> 00:43:42,412
Yeah, the last piece coming up.
691
00:43:44,622 --> 00:43:46,916
[Emilie] We have a
roof. It's awesome.
692
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:48,710
Like, it looks so good.
693
00:43:49,169 --> 00:43:51,755
And I can tell the kids, like,
"I put a nail through this."
694
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,591
And the kids will
be very proud of us.
695
00:43:56,301 --> 00:43:58,762
[Gilbert] Our kids, once they
see it for the first time,
696
00:43:59,387 --> 00:44:01,723
the look in their eyes,
that's why we do it.
697
00:44:10,231 --> 00:44:12,609
[soft music playing]
698
00:44:14,611 --> 00:44:18,156
[Margot] This place is not home
just because I have a cabin built,
699
00:44:18,782 --> 00:44:21,451
like the whole woods is my home.
700
00:44:23,286 --> 00:44:25,872
It's not because I have a cabin,
I want to be stuck in there
701
00:44:25,997 --> 00:44:27,957
and just sew my socks all day,
702
00:44:28,083 --> 00:44:31,753
like I want to go trapping
and go play in the woods.
703
00:44:35,256 --> 00:44:38,968
So, I'm trying to figure out where I'm
going to cut the hole for the pipe.
704
00:44:41,054 --> 00:44:43,598
Having this cabin
ready for the winter
705
00:44:43,723 --> 00:44:47,143
means I can focus on all the
things I came here to do.
706
00:44:47,644 --> 00:44:48,644
Okay.
707
00:44:49,145 --> 00:44:51,689
[rhythmic music playing]
708
00:44:56,611 --> 00:44:59,072
I need to make sure the
pipe is safe and tight.
709
00:44:59,197 --> 00:45:01,950
You don't want any
carbon monoxide leaks.
710
00:45:06,246 --> 00:45:07,664
Like, it has no smell.
711
00:45:09,207 --> 00:45:11,459
If you're sleeping and you
don't realize there's a leak,
712
00:45:11,584 --> 00:45:13,253
well, you just don't wake up.
713
00:45:16,798 --> 00:45:18,591
[chainsaw buzzing]
714
00:45:27,684 --> 00:45:28,684
Perfect.
715
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:32,939
[soft music playing]
716
00:45:38,987 --> 00:45:39,988
[sighs]
717
00:45:40,947 --> 00:45:43,199
The cold is the
most serious thing.
718
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:47,370
You know, if you don't wear
gloves for more than ten minutes,
719
00:45:47,495 --> 00:45:50,373
you'll lose your fingers. You
know, it's just those other things
720
00:45:50,498 --> 00:45:53,960
you have to, if you don't do
it, you just don't make it.
721
00:45:58,423 --> 00:45:59,423
Holy shit.
722
00:46:00,592 --> 00:46:04,179
This stove is the only thing I have
that really allows me to stay here.
723
00:46:05,722 --> 00:46:08,558
It's the main thing I
need just to survive.
724
00:46:12,145 --> 00:46:15,857
A little more fucking around
than I was hoping for, but...
725
00:46:19,652 --> 00:46:20,652
Uh, that's it.
726
00:46:20,695 --> 00:46:23,990
It's not very pretty, but
it's going to be safe.
727
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:30,538
[soft music playing]
728
00:46:38,379 --> 00:46:40,089
First fire of the cabin.
729
00:46:43,134 --> 00:46:44,719
It's going to be a big new step.
730
00:46:44,844 --> 00:46:49,307
I don't have to be camping anymore,
I can just move in here, be warm.
731
00:46:51,935 --> 00:46:54,521
I think my bed is going to be
over there, next to the stove.
732
00:46:54,646 --> 00:46:56,731
I'm going to have a
table facing the window.
733
00:46:57,941 --> 00:47:00,276
Have my little trapping
corner for my pelts.
734
00:47:01,861 --> 00:47:02,861
It's perfect.
735
00:47:08,701 --> 00:47:10,995
[epic music playing]
736
00:47:11,579 --> 00:47:14,582
Working outdoors in the cold all
day definitely saps the life of you.
737
00:47:14,707 --> 00:47:16,918
[Emilie] Out here, you never
know what's going to come.
738
00:47:17,043 --> 00:47:20,505
It could be bears, wolves, which
is definitely a reality up here.
739
00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:21,815
- [gunshot]
- [Gilbert] Bullseye.
740
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:25,510
Living off grid, you have to find
ways to make your life easier.
741
00:47:26,761 --> 00:47:28,054
Oh! [laughs]
742
00:47:29,556 --> 00:47:31,933
[Margot] Wolf trapping is
definitely a little more tricky
743
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:34,018
because wolves are
very smart animals.
744
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:37,146
I'm trying to catch them
before they catch Cade.
745
00:47:58,751 --> 00:48:00,753
