[upbeat music playing]
2
00:00:10,094 --> 00:00:12,012
This is spring, on my homestead.
3
00:00:12,847 --> 00:00:15,224
[Matty] Spring's great because
you get a lot more daylight,
4
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:16,934
which makes great
work conditions.
5
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:20,646
We have really cold
weather that just came.
6
00:00:20,771 --> 00:00:23,399
It's going to make it really
hard to dig out the ground.
7
00:00:24,316 --> 00:00:25,484
That's gonna take all day.
8
00:00:26,277 --> 00:00:29,280
[Margot] I'm running out of meat
and bear season just opened.
9
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:32,158
I have to be the stalker,
not the opposite.
10
00:00:32,575 --> 00:00:33,576
[gunshot]
11
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,454
We had a polar bear
about two weeks ago.
12
00:00:37,371 --> 00:00:38,956
It's important to
have a gun with us.
13
00:00:39,081 --> 00:00:40,291
They can come pretty quick.
14
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:45,713
It's so heavy, at least
100 pounds, at least.
15
00:00:45,838 --> 00:00:46,838
It's huge.
16
00:00:46,922 --> 00:00:48,966
[grunts] Forget about it.
17
00:00:50,634 --> 00:00:52,845
Last thing I want to do
is drop one of these logs.
18
00:00:53,888 --> 00:00:56,348
You know, you need to be
a certain level of fitness
19
00:00:56,474 --> 00:00:59,101
just to live the day-to-day life
out here, let alone do work.
20
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:01,604
The rivers are dangerous.
21
00:01:02,188 --> 00:01:06,108
Even very experienced people
get swept away by the current.
22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,195
Fuck me.
23
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,989
[theme music playing]
24
00:01:22,333 --> 00:01:25,628
[soft music playing]
25
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:28,297
[wind blowing]
26
00:01:29,882 --> 00:01:31,884
[Margot] Winters in the
Yukon are pretty long.
27
00:01:32,676 --> 00:01:35,179
I mean, it's six
months of winter.
28
00:01:36,347 --> 00:01:39,683
It's always nice to see the
end, when the spring shows up.
29
00:01:41,769 --> 00:01:43,562
[birds and insects chirping]
30
00:01:43,687 --> 00:01:46,816
[peaceful music playing]
31
00:01:50,986 --> 00:01:52,822
Daylight almost all
day long right now.
32
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,241
It's getting dark
around midnight,
33
00:01:55,366 --> 00:02:00,037
so it gives me a lot of time to work
and really now focus on hunting.
34
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:02,873
I'm out of meat right now,
and bear season just opened,
35
00:02:02,998 --> 00:02:05,417
so, I'd like to fill
up my freezer again.
36
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:07,503
Come on, Cade. [whistles]
37
00:02:15,219 --> 00:02:16,345
[gunshot]
38
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:27,356
I'm gonna shoot a couple bullets
39
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:30,234
to make sure I'm still
shooting straight,
40
00:02:30,359 --> 00:02:32,444
to make sure my
scope is good to go.
41
00:02:36,574 --> 00:02:37,867
[gunshot]
42
00:02:40,244 --> 00:02:42,580
Yeah, it's a little bit
too high on the right,
43
00:02:42,705 --> 00:02:46,041
so I just got to adjust my scope a
little bit and it should be good.
44
00:02:48,627 --> 00:02:49,712
[gunshot]
45
00:02:51,714 --> 00:02:52,923
[gunshot]
46
00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:57,428
I don't want to find out that
I'm not shooting straight
47
00:02:57,553 --> 00:02:58,888
when I'm being
charged by a bear.
48
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:02,057
[suspenseful music playing]
49
00:03:07,271 --> 00:03:08,564
[gunshot]
50
00:03:10,024 --> 00:03:11,024
Bullseye.
51
00:03:12,902 --> 00:03:14,194
I think I'm a pretty good shot.
52
00:03:18,574 --> 00:03:22,202
[soft music playing]
53
00:03:22,328 --> 00:03:24,622
The bears just woke up
about two weeks ago.
54
00:03:25,748 --> 00:03:29,084
Soon they will be hunting again, but
so far they're just looking for grass.
55
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:35,966
I'm looking for tracks,
scats, hair on the trees.
56
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:41,430
This airstrip is perfect because
it's open, it's in the sun,
57
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:44,308
so there's good grass
starting to grow.
58
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:48,938
There's some bear tracks.
59
00:03:49,271 --> 00:03:51,732
Looks like a small black bear.
60
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:54,443
You can see the claws here.
61
00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:56,946
The pad.
62
00:03:57,071 --> 00:04:00,699
It's not that old because it's
still pretty clear to read.
63
00:04:01,617 --> 00:04:03,869
Yeah, I can see a couple
more tracks going this way.
64
00:04:04,286 --> 00:04:07,414
There is a trail over there that
goes between those two mountains,
65
00:04:07,539 --> 00:04:11,377
so, at least, I can try to
follow the track for a little bit
66
00:04:11,502 --> 00:04:12,836
and see if I see him.
67
00:04:17,383 --> 00:04:21,095
That's awesome to see that there's
someone around, so it's a good start.
68
00:04:27,893 --> 00:04:29,979
You have to be careful
bear hunting, for sure.
69
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:34,066
It's not because you don't see
them that they're not around.
70
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:40,656
They can charge you.
71
00:04:40,781 --> 00:04:42,491
They can attack you, for sure.
72
00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:48,080
I'm not necessarily nervous,
I'm just more aware.
73
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:54,420
You have to follow your gut feeling
and be the stalker, not the opposite.
74
00:05:01,719 --> 00:05:05,014
[upbeat music playing]
75
00:05:09,601 --> 00:05:12,730
Might not look like it but
this is spring in Newfoundland.
76
00:05:14,523 --> 00:05:19,737
As soon as the snow all disappears,
you can see just shit everywhere.
77
00:05:21,697 --> 00:05:26,201
Sticks blown down all winter, like,
this is spring cleaning up here.
78
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:32,291
This is official Newfie fire
starter around these parts.
79
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:37,963
Sometimes, it's just so wet, just
needs a little encouragement sometimes.
80
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:52,853
Biting at the bit to do all these spring
projects and now it's finally here.
81
00:05:54,063 --> 00:05:56,523
Big one that I'm really
excited for is the root cellar.
82
00:05:57,733 --> 00:06:02,029
A root cellar is basically an off-grid
version of a deep freeze or cooler.
83
00:06:02,154 --> 00:06:06,283
It's a big cold hole in the ground
where things stay preserved.
84
00:06:07,826 --> 00:06:09,119
It's called a root cellar.
85
00:06:09,912 --> 00:06:11,622
To me, it's just a
log cabin underground.
86
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:18,045
Spring's great because you
get a lot more daylight,
87
00:06:19,088 --> 00:06:20,798
until like nine, ten
o'clock at night.
88
00:06:20,923 --> 00:06:23,759
It's not too warm, the
flies aren't really out yet,
89
00:06:24,176 --> 00:06:25,677
which makes great
work conditions.
90
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:30,724
Now, this is the tricky part for
me, is the getting things square.
91
00:06:32,935 --> 00:06:33,977
This isn't going to work.
92
00:06:35,187 --> 00:06:36,480
Doesn't look that square to me.
93
00:06:36,605 --> 00:06:37,815
The math says it is.
94
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:43,195
Oh, it's definitely
not square. Jesus.
95
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:46,115
Sometimes, the
math is just wrong.
96
00:06:48,033 --> 00:06:49,118
It's just rough.
97
00:06:49,243 --> 00:06:52,371
At the end of the day, we're
not building a grand piano here.
98
00:06:53,497 --> 00:06:55,124
That's good enough. That's it.
99
00:06:58,127 --> 00:07:00,379
This is going to hold the
rocks we're going to put in,
100
00:07:00,504 --> 00:07:01,797
and we're gonna pour concrete.
101
00:07:04,299 --> 00:07:06,510
I mean, it really doesn't
take much to make me happy.
102
00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:08,094
A square wooden box
103
00:07:08,178 --> 00:07:09,888
inside of a square
hole. [scoffs]
104
00:07:10,347 --> 00:07:12,850
Basically, you know, a treasure
hoard full of just food,
105
00:07:12,975 --> 00:07:16,562
which, out here, firewood and
food, that is your treasure.
106
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:19,940
Next step now is to
throw a stone in.
107
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:21,984
We're off to the races.
108
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:26,905
[upbeat music playing]
109
00:07:30,742 --> 00:07:33,495
It's definitely what you call
a labour-intensive project.
110
00:07:34,413 --> 00:07:36,248
Luckily, I love
labour-intensive things.
111
00:07:44,214 --> 00:07:45,214
I think that's it.
112
00:07:47,551 --> 00:07:49,678
Put all the rocks you can,
they're almost at level.
113
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:52,014
Everything else will be
brought up with the cement.
114
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:56,977
Damn, out of daylight, we got
maybe an hour or so of light left
115
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:59,813
and it's not enough time to pour
this, so I'll leave it there.
116
00:08:00,314 --> 00:08:04,276
Come back in the morning, bright-eyed,
bushy-tailed, pour concrete first thing.
117
00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:16,455
[soft music playing]
118
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:18,582
[Emilie] It's exciting
to see what we've done.
119
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:23,712
Even though it'll never be done, we'll
always have something we want to add.
120
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:27,132
But, that's a whole part of the
journey that I love the most.
121
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:32,888
So, I got 12 ft right here.
122
00:08:33,013 --> 00:08:35,349
[laughs] This is going
to be really big.
123
00:08:39,353 --> 00:08:42,105
Today, we're going to
start building a shaputuan.
124
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:45,275
[Gilbert] It's a gathering place
125
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,862
and it's used for getting
together and then preparing food.
126
00:08:51,615 --> 00:08:55,285
[Emilie] And we want to get that done
now because goose hunt is coming up,
127
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:58,163
and I want to be able to pluck
the geese in the shaputuan
128
00:08:58,288 --> 00:08:59,831
covered and warm.
129
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,461
- Silas is going to come help us today?
- Yeah, yeah, he's coming.
130
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:06,713
All right, that's good.
131
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,551
[Gilbert] Silas is my nephew.
132
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:13,887
He's very, very useful.
133
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:15,847
One, two, three, lift.
134
00:09:15,973 --> 00:09:18,141
I'm very happy
that he's helping.
135
00:09:18,267 --> 00:09:19,267
Right there.
136
00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:29,695
It's springtime, but we have
really cold weather that just came.
137
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:31,238
It's around -20 today.
138
00:09:32,614 --> 00:09:35,075
That means it's going to make
it really hard to dig out.
139
00:09:37,619 --> 00:09:39,955
After we do one of
these, there's 13 more?
140
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,000
[Gilbert] Yep. It's going
to be 13 more after this.
141
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:44,918
That's gonna take all day.
142
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:48,046
- Maybe four hours?
- Four hours.
143
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:50,757
- Four hours non-stop.
- Those sound like Gilbert hours again.
144
00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:52,301
[both chuckle]
145
00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:57,763
Where's Nikik?
146
00:09:59,975 --> 00:10:03,228
Nikik is going to alarm
me for almost anything.
147
00:10:03,353 --> 00:10:06,940
We had a polar bear about
two weeks ago in Peawanuck.
148
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:09,401
[tense music playing]
149
00:10:09,526 --> 00:10:12,779
There could be a polar bear stalking
us just around the corner over there.
150
00:10:15,699 --> 00:10:16,700
Nikik, come here.
151
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:21,496
It's important to have a gun.
152
00:10:22,748 --> 00:10:24,958
You never know, they
can come pretty quick.
153
00:10:25,876 --> 00:10:28,003
So, you want to be on
guard, you want to be ready.
154
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:33,091
- Going to start putting in some poles?
- Yeah.
155
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:36,136
- Right here?
- [Gilbert] Yeah, yeah.
156
00:10:40,349 --> 00:10:41,850
It'd be nice to have concrete,
157
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:44,186
but we don't have access
to concrete here, so...
158
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:48,523
We're going to use the
cold to our advantage.
159
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:50,149
Yeah.
160
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:53,236
Tomorrow, this is going
to be like cement.
161
00:10:53,362 --> 00:10:54,571
It's going to freeze over.
162
00:10:55,572 --> 00:10:58,784
[upbeat music playing]
163
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:01,578
[Emilie] This lifestyle
wouldn't be as interesting
164
00:11:01,703 --> 00:11:03,914
if there wasn't
all this hard work.
165
00:11:04,498 --> 00:11:06,792
This one's just not as
deep, though. Is that okay?
166
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:09,127
[Gilbert] Should be all right.
167
00:11:10,837 --> 00:11:12,756
- How's that look?
- Looks good.
168
00:11:12,881 --> 00:11:13,881
Okay.
169
00:11:15,092 --> 00:11:17,094
[Emilie] And all the
effort that you put in,
170
00:11:17,219 --> 00:11:21,223
all the hard work that you put in,
you see it at the end of the day.
171
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:26,103
I can't believe we're ending
the day with the poles in.
172
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:38,031
[soft music playing]
173
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:42,702
[Billy] This is spring, in
a cabin, on my homestead.
174
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,168
It's just a great
time to harvest.
175
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:02,889
There is so much to
do in this cabin,
176
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:07,185
but one thing I have to do
first, it's a front porch.
177
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,521
Will act like a mud room.
178
00:12:10,021 --> 00:12:11,731
Yeah, I really need to do that.
179
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:16,695
[upbeat music playing]
180
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:17,821
Okay.
181
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:25,162
Just temporary, just to see
how levelled is the cabin.
182
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:29,207
[chuckles] Crazy.
183
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:32,377
This is not levelled at all.
184
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:35,714
It's like the old cabin is
going this way. [laughs]
185
00:12:36,715 --> 00:12:38,967
The left foot needs to go down.
186
00:12:40,218 --> 00:12:43,263
I did not plan to do it,
it's just a surprise.
187
00:12:43,388 --> 00:12:45,348
As always, in the woods.
188
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:51,813
There we go.
189
00:12:56,151 --> 00:12:59,196
I'm just going to grab a
big rock that I spotted,
190
00:12:59,321 --> 00:13:01,448
that I'm going to
put right underneath.
191
00:13:01,573 --> 00:13:02,573
Okay.
192
00:13:06,995 --> 00:13:08,205
That's the big daddy.
193
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:12,083
It's so heavy.
194
00:13:12,209 --> 00:13:13,543
[laughs]
195
00:13:14,503 --> 00:13:15,962
[grunting]
196
00:13:23,345 --> 00:13:24,429
[grunting]
197
00:13:24,554 --> 00:13:25,388
[scoffs]
198
00:13:25,514 --> 00:13:27,516
Forget about it,
it's more than 100.
199
00:13:27,641 --> 00:13:29,476
[laughs]
200
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:30,769
It's way more.
201
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:35,398
Okay, so plan B.
202
00:13:37,859 --> 00:13:41,154
[intriguing music playing]
203
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:45,242
[grunting]
204
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:50,372
Oh yeah. That's working.
205
00:13:50,747 --> 00:13:53,166
Do I suffer here? No.
206
00:13:53,291 --> 00:13:54,668
This is where I choose to be.
207
00:13:55,377 --> 00:13:56,670
No, I have to go backwards.
208
00:13:57,796 --> 00:14:01,591
You have to find a way of, you know,
enjoying yourself everywhere you go.
209
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:04,386
Otherwise, you're just chasing
suffering in your life.
210
00:14:04,511 --> 00:14:05,554
[grunts]
211
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:10,766
Ah!
212
00:14:13,103 --> 00:14:15,188
[sighs]
213
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:22,861
Here we go.
214
00:14:24,614 --> 00:14:28,243
So, I'm just going to lower
the jacks down slowly.
215
00:14:30,245 --> 00:14:32,622
Whoa. There we go.
216
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:34,916
Whoo!
217
00:14:36,918 --> 00:14:38,295
The moment of truth.
218
00:14:41,131 --> 00:14:43,550
[chuckles] That's good.
219
00:14:44,801 --> 00:14:46,636
Before, it was like
this and now, pfft.
220
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:48,513
It's nice.
221
00:14:48,638 --> 00:14:50,432
Yeah. I'm ready for
the front porch.
222
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:59,316
[Matty] At the end of the day,
I like to be physically tired.
223
00:14:59,441 --> 00:15:01,568
I like to feel like
I did something.
224
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:04,446
I feel good, I feel worn out.
225
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:08,033
I have no trouble going to
sleep at the end of the night.
226
00:15:10,118 --> 00:15:13,246
[Margot] Some nights you're just so
exhausted that you go straight to bed.
227
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:17,083
It can get tiring, but that's
why you want to be here,
228
00:15:17,208 --> 00:15:19,628
because it's back
to a simple life.
229
00:15:22,464 --> 00:15:24,382
[Emilie] I find when I
was living in this city,
230
00:15:24,507 --> 00:15:28,762
my mind was just so full of stressors
that it wakes you up at night.
231
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,307
And I find here,
I don't have that.
232
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:34,517
It's one thing at a time.
233
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:46,071
[rhythmic music playing]
234
00:15:49,115 --> 00:15:52,702
[Matty] Having a root cellar here is going
to make me that much more independent
235
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:55,622
in the woods and need
town that much less.
236
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:59,376
That literally is rock solid.
237
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:00,960
[laughs]
238
00:16:09,052 --> 00:16:11,971
Now, this stuff, this
is the Newfie mix.
239
00:16:13,682 --> 00:16:17,352
There's a bag of concrete dust, I
guess, and you mix this with the sand.
240
00:16:18,228 --> 00:16:19,938
No instructions on the bag.
241
00:16:21,022 --> 00:16:23,650
I don't really understand why
they don't just mix it for you.
242
00:16:24,567 --> 00:16:26,903
Should be at least a little
bit of a discount, boys.
243
00:16:29,072 --> 00:16:31,116
It gives me hope that
there is no instructions,
244
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:32,575
because it must be idiot proof.
245
00:16:33,201 --> 00:16:35,286
And we're going to put
that to the test, I guess.
246
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:37,664
Just add water, so they say.
247
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:48,425
This is definitely
the first time
248
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:50,677
I've ever been in charge
of the concrete myself.
249
00:16:53,972 --> 00:16:55,390
We'll see how this goes.
250
00:16:58,101 --> 00:16:59,101
Mm.
251
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,313
We may have not gotten
enough concrete.
252
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:04,816
I can already see it.
253
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:06,317
That's three bags.
254
00:17:06,943 --> 00:17:08,820
And we just did it to
that one a little bit.
255
00:17:09,738 --> 00:17:10,780
Might not have enough.
256
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:14,075
That's the thing with concrete,
now that we're started,
257
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,036
we're kind of committed,
because it's drying as we speak.
258
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:20,498
All you can really do is adapt.
259
00:17:25,003 --> 00:17:28,173
Just going to use a bit of the
sand just to take up some volume.
260
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:31,843
Then I'll save the cement for
the outside edge and the top.
261
00:17:32,886 --> 00:17:36,222
I mean, it's not ideal, but it's what
you got to do sometimes out here.
262
00:17:39,309 --> 00:17:41,352
The real issue
here is cheapness.
263
00:17:42,103 --> 00:17:43,396
I am a cheap man.
264
00:17:44,189 --> 00:17:45,815
I bought ten bags instead of 20.
265
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:47,567
I thought I could stretch it.
266
00:17:48,193 --> 00:17:49,694
[scoffs] Obviously,
I was wrong.
267
00:17:51,154 --> 00:17:53,239
This is definitely a
hillbilly cement job.
268
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:57,202
[suspenseful music playing]
269
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:01,039
All I'm thinking right now is,
"Oh, shit, I hope this works."
270
00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:08,004
Last precious cement we got.
271
00:18:09,506 --> 00:18:11,508
Every last drop.
272
00:18:13,843 --> 00:18:15,011
All right, that's it.
273
00:18:15,553 --> 00:18:17,972
Onto harvest some logs.
274
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:24,854
[soft music playing]
275
00:18:27,357 --> 00:18:29,192
Peeling the logs isn't
just for aesthetics.
276
00:18:29,317 --> 00:18:33,112
I mean, it does look very, very
nice, a peeled log is beautiful,
277
00:18:33,238 --> 00:18:36,407
but it's also to help preserve the
log, because if you leave the bark on,
278
00:18:36,991 --> 00:18:38,201
the tree will just rot.
279
00:18:39,744 --> 00:18:41,955
Just skinning logs,
just skinning logs.
280
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:47,836
We just peel it all off,
and then we start notching.
281
00:18:50,922 --> 00:18:52,590
[chainsaw buzzing]
282
00:18:59,639 --> 00:19:01,391
Just Michelangelo
with a chainsaw.
283
00:19:06,563 --> 00:19:11,860
This tongue will slot into a
groove, like Lego blocks, really.
284
00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:17,657
It's amazing what you can build
with a chainsaw, chisel and an axe.
285
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:24,079
Pretty damn good.
286
00:19:26,749 --> 00:19:32,380
I call that success, the
first, first of 55 pieces.
287
00:19:32,922 --> 00:19:33,923
Better keep going.
288
00:19:45,226 --> 00:19:48,563
[soft music playing]
289
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:58,823
[Emilie] Whoa! It held up?
290
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:00,575
- Yeah, it's like cement.
- Wow.
291
00:20:01,784 --> 00:20:03,119
[Emilie] Working in the north,
292
00:20:03,244 --> 00:20:06,623
every season has things
that we're very busy with.
293
00:20:07,457 --> 00:20:10,752
In two days, we're gonna have south
wind, so the geese are going to be here.
294
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:15,840
I've been wanting just anything
where I can process meat,
295
00:20:15,965 --> 00:20:18,259
sit around the fire, and
have the kids around.
296
00:20:18,885 --> 00:20:20,470
Shaputuan's gonna
be great for that.
297
00:20:26,392 --> 00:20:27,977
- All right.
- Next.
298
00:20:28,853 --> 00:20:32,315
[rhythmic music playing]
299
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:39,021
[Gilbert] This can't sit on
the ground, it's gonna rot.
300
00:20:39,113 --> 00:20:40,113
Ah.
301
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,995
[drill whirring]
302
00:20:48,498 --> 00:20:49,624
[Nikik whimpering]
303
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:51,209
[Emilie] Oh, Gilbert. Look.
304
00:20:52,126 --> 00:20:54,671
[Gilbert] I think he stepped
on a nail or something?
305
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:57,507
[Emilie] Come here, Nikik.
[Gilbert] You step on something?
306
00:20:58,257 --> 00:20:59,467
Let's see what's going on.
307
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:01,052
[Nikik whimpering]
308
00:21:02,053 --> 00:21:02,929
[growling]
309
00:21:03,054 --> 00:21:04,054
[Emilie] Shit.
310
00:21:05,181 --> 00:21:07,684
I don't see anything, but I'm
afraid he's gonna hurt me.
311
00:21:07,809 --> 00:21:08,893
[Nikik whimpering]
312
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:10,436
Are you going to be okay?
313
00:21:11,771 --> 00:21:13,147
You just got to take it easy.
314
00:21:14,649 --> 00:21:15,900
All right.
315
00:21:16,025 --> 00:21:18,194
We'll get some dirt because
we don't have any dirt.
316
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:24,701
It's really in times like
this that you realize, like,
317
00:21:24,826 --> 00:21:27,286
how important your
dog is to you.
318
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:30,999
Like, I feel comfortable being here
and not having to watch my back
319
00:21:31,749 --> 00:21:34,544
because he's the one that tells
us if there's a bear nearby.
320
00:21:37,922 --> 00:21:41,551
[Emilie] I mean, you have to be careful,
but you also have to get a job done.
321
00:21:41,676 --> 00:21:42,969
You have to keep going.
322
00:21:44,178 --> 00:21:46,681
[soft music playing]
323
00:21:53,021 --> 00:21:54,313
[Emilie] They're kind of warped.
324
00:21:55,898 --> 00:21:58,401
- We do a stud.
- Oh, the whole thing, all around?
325
00:21:58,526 --> 00:21:59,569
Yeah, all the way around.
326
00:21:59,694 --> 00:22:02,280
That was never talked
about as part of the plan.
327
00:22:02,405 --> 00:22:04,407
It just adds a lot more
work to this thing.
328
00:22:05,116 --> 00:22:06,117
That's my original plan.
329
00:22:06,242 --> 00:22:08,119
I'm not disagreeing with you.
330
00:22:08,745 --> 00:22:10,121
I'm just caught by surprise.
331
00:22:10,246 --> 00:22:13,499
And at this point, I feel like I
can't picture anything anymore.
332
00:22:17,211 --> 00:22:18,755
[Gilbert] The tedious jobs,
333
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,883
she'll get a little frustrated
with the tedious stuff.
334
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:23,051
Oh, yeah.
335
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:27,680
Then added on with
tiredness, she gets grumpy.
336
00:22:29,891 --> 00:22:32,268
I get the same way, but
I just don't show it.
337
00:22:37,231 --> 00:22:39,275
That looks way better.
338
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:43,029
Yes, we all know
Gilbert was right.
339
00:22:44,697 --> 00:22:45,573
All right.
340
00:22:45,698 --> 00:22:47,533
- Should we do the final wall?
- Yep.
341
00:22:50,328 --> 00:22:52,872
[Emilie] It's been a very long
day and it's getting very cold.
342
00:22:54,582 --> 00:22:55,875
Walls are up.
343
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,001
[thudding]
344
00:22:57,126 --> 00:22:59,253
Oh my God, are we seriously
doing this right now?
345
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:02,757
I thought we were done.
346
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,259
I think it's time
we call it a day.
347
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:07,512
Like, two of our
batteries are done.
348
00:23:07,637 --> 00:23:09,514
I just, I think we're done.
349
00:23:12,183 --> 00:23:13,183
No.
350
00:23:15,978 --> 00:23:17,980
- [thudding]
- [laughs]
351
00:23:19,482 --> 00:23:21,442
Oh! No.
352
00:23:25,363 --> 00:23:28,658
[soft music playing]
353
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:34,497
[Margot] It's
hunting season again.
354
00:23:35,456 --> 00:23:39,669
Bear season just opened, so
I have to be the quiet one
355
00:23:39,794 --> 00:23:42,964
and, you know, just
try to be a predator.
356
00:23:48,344 --> 00:23:50,680
I'd like to cross the creek
to go on the other side,
357
00:23:50,805 --> 00:23:54,058
where I know there is some, it
could be some grass for the bears.
358
00:23:54,892 --> 00:24:00,064
So, I'm just looking for a spot where
it's not too deep and not too fast.
359
00:24:00,189 --> 00:24:02,859
[suspenseful music playing]
360
00:24:02,984 --> 00:24:04,777
The water level right
now is pretty high
361
00:24:04,902 --> 00:24:07,530
because the snow has been melting
for the last couple weeks.
362
00:24:12,243 --> 00:24:13,619
That might be a good spot here.
363
00:24:18,416 --> 00:24:19,959
I'm just going to cut a pole,
364
00:24:20,084 --> 00:24:23,004
so I can see how deep it is, and
it's going to help me to cross.
365
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:29,343
Every year, there is accidents
with crossing rivers.
366
00:24:30,595 --> 00:24:34,515
Even very experienced people
get swept away by the current.
367
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:51,032
Sometimes, there is a deep
hole and if you step in them
368
00:24:51,157 --> 00:24:53,534
and lose your balance,
you can get swept away.
369
00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:03,169
You know, you might end up a
couple kilometres downstream,
370
00:25:03,294 --> 00:25:04,629
so you have to be careful.
371
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,880
Fuck me.
372
00:25:07,465 --> 00:25:09,717
[suspenseful music playing]
373
00:25:18,976 --> 00:25:19,976
You stay, bud.
374
00:25:20,478 --> 00:25:21,479
Stay there. Okay?
375
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:25,233
I wanted to find a spot
where he can cross with me,
376
00:25:25,358 --> 00:25:28,361
but here there is too much current,
he's going to get swept away.
377
00:25:28,486 --> 00:25:32,365
So, I'm just going to go have a
quick look there and come back here.
378
00:25:33,282 --> 00:25:34,951
[Cade whimpering]
379
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,874
[uplifting music playing]
380
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,587
There is definitely some
fresh grass growing.
381
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:49,548
So, might be good for bears.
382
00:25:51,008 --> 00:25:53,261
So far not, I haven't
seen any signs,
383
00:25:54,262 --> 00:25:57,932
but it's definitely a really
cool spot for moose hunting.
384
00:25:58,349 --> 00:26:01,018
It's a super cool spot
because it's not far from camp
385
00:26:01,143 --> 00:26:02,770
and it's perfect
moose environment,
386
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:07,316
so maybe I'll try to build a bridge to
cross the creek and get there easier.
387
00:26:08,985 --> 00:26:12,113
Yeah, if I build a bridge, I
can just come and call every day
388
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:14,115
and see what's going
on around here.
389
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,576
And especially if I get a moose,
to bring the meat back home,
390
00:26:17,702 --> 00:26:20,454
it's gonna be way easier than
having to cross the river on foot.
391
00:26:22,248 --> 00:26:24,375
Yeah, fuck, it's,
it's an awesome spot.
392
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:32,550
[rhythmic music playing]
393
00:26:37,179 --> 00:26:39,098
[Billy] Okie dokie.
394
00:26:41,434 --> 00:26:44,437
Beautiful day to work on
the cabin, on the porch.
395
00:26:45,021 --> 00:26:46,731
Gonna start with the frame.
396
00:26:51,152 --> 00:26:53,362
All right. So, is it level?
397
00:26:53,487 --> 00:26:55,906
Yepper, very happy.
398
00:27:02,747 --> 00:27:05,458
I've been using hand tools for
this cabin since the beginning,
399
00:27:05,958 --> 00:27:07,335
so I'm not going to stop here.
400
00:27:08,169 --> 00:27:10,588
[soft music playing]
401
00:27:10,713 --> 00:27:13,716
When I built the cabin, I really
wanted to build it with hand tools,
402
00:27:13,841 --> 00:27:15,676
only hand tools,
like the old times.
403
00:27:16,802 --> 00:27:17,803
And I did it.
404
00:27:19,889 --> 00:27:23,351
After I finished to build the
cabin, I left the Gaspรฉ Peninsula
405
00:27:24,018 --> 00:27:27,146
and I travelled and lived in a
big city for about ten years.
406
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:32,193
I came back, you
know, a bit, to visit.
407
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:35,988
But it's mostly five years
ago, when my father got sick,
408
00:27:36,113 --> 00:27:38,157
that I really came
back here for good.
409
00:27:39,992 --> 00:27:43,704
He had brain cancer and I really
wanted to be close to him.
410
00:27:46,123 --> 00:27:51,045
And the older I get, this is where
I find happiness more than ever.
411
00:27:55,591 --> 00:27:59,720
I'm using nails and a
hammer for two reasons.
412
00:28:00,763 --> 00:28:03,307
First, my father used to do it.
413
00:28:04,517 --> 00:28:06,060
It's family
tradition, I will say.
414
00:28:07,395 --> 00:28:09,397
The other reason is
the noise, it's like...
415
00:28:09,522 --> 00:28:11,649
[imitating drill]
416
00:28:11,774 --> 00:28:14,193
all the time and I'm, no.
417
00:28:18,197 --> 00:28:20,324
Hey, hey! Here we go.
418
00:28:21,117 --> 00:28:22,910
That's it. Done.
419
00:28:23,536 --> 00:28:26,914
Now, what I need to
do, it's the foot.
420
00:28:28,207 --> 00:28:31,001
The foot will be
lying on the ground,
421
00:28:31,127 --> 00:28:34,964
which means moisture,
rotting very fast.
422
00:28:35,089 --> 00:28:39,260
So, what I'm planning to do,
it's a very old tradition,
423
00:28:39,385 --> 00:28:42,263
and it's called Shou Sugi Ban.
424
00:28:42,388 --> 00:28:44,932
[intriguing music playing]
425
00:28:46,934 --> 00:28:50,438
It's a traditional Japanese
method of wood preservation.
426
00:28:51,647 --> 00:28:54,150
Done by putting the
log into the fire.
427
00:28:58,654 --> 00:29:00,072
Doesn't need to be too burned.
428
00:29:00,865 --> 00:29:03,742
I just want to have
that hardened shell.
429
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:06,871
And that will help to
prevent the moisture,
430
00:29:06,996 --> 00:29:09,165
the humidity, to
get into the wood.
431
00:29:10,166 --> 00:29:11,584
I love trying something new.
432
00:29:11,959 --> 00:29:12,959
It's cool.
433
00:29:13,419 --> 00:29:16,422
And it's good to learn, you know,
from another tradition, you know.
434
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:20,301
Yeah, that's enough.
435
00:29:27,099 --> 00:29:28,099
There we go.
436
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:31,896
Okay, the last one.
437
00:29:33,105 --> 00:29:35,274
[chuckles] Very exciting.
438
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,400
There we go.
439
00:29:37,818 --> 00:29:38,986
Let's go, man.
440
00:29:40,988 --> 00:29:45,367
I really enjoy the feeling to be, you
know, proud of myself, I will say.
441
00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:51,910
And I guess it's from my dad because I
was always looking, is he proud of me?
442
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:53,751
The deck is done.
443
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:55,293
Whoo!
444
00:29:55,753 --> 00:29:59,715
And I guess this is what
I'm looking for from myself.
445
00:30:00,716 --> 00:30:05,095
The next step, it will be the
most challenging, I will say.
446
00:30:07,556 --> 00:30:09,850
[soft music playing]
447
00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:12,811
[Matty] Being alone
has changed me a lot.
448
00:30:14,104 --> 00:30:19,443
I kind of picture myself some nights as
one little light in this sea of blackness.
449
00:30:20,569 --> 00:30:23,656
It's a major blessing that a lot
of people don't get to experience.
450
00:30:25,866 --> 00:30:29,912
[Emilie] I used to live down the street
from a coffee shop, a grocery store.
451
00:30:30,955 --> 00:30:32,706
We don't have those things here,
452
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:37,169
but the middle of nowhere, to
me, has everything that I need.
453
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,174
[Billy] You know, the
loneliness, it's not that easy.
454
00:30:43,634 --> 00:30:46,303
The difficult part is
missing the people.
455
00:30:46,929 --> 00:30:49,181
And the other part
is the introspection.
456
00:30:50,641 --> 00:30:54,520
It's like you're very
deep into this loneliness.
457
00:31:00,901 --> 00:31:04,154
[upbeat music playing]
458
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:08,242
[Emilie] So, what's the plan?
459
00:31:08,784 --> 00:31:10,744
Make doors, that would
be the first thing.
460
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:11,869
Okay.
461
00:31:17,751 --> 00:31:18,751
83.
462
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,046
[Emilie] 83 inches.
463
00:31:24,008 --> 00:31:26,093
Thanks, Nikik. Thank
you. Thank you.
464
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:28,052
Thank you.
465
00:31:29,305 --> 00:31:30,931
Nikik looks a lot better today.
466
00:31:31,056 --> 00:31:33,892
I think a good 12-hour rest
really did him some good.
467
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:35,936
You're going to run
again in no time.
468
00:31:44,361 --> 00:31:46,614
- There we go.
- Yay, we got a door!
469
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:48,740
I love your skills.
470
00:31:49,575 --> 00:31:50,575
It's really good.
471
00:31:50,993 --> 00:31:52,244
We're almost there.
472
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:54,288
Just have to throw on the roof.
473
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:55,456
Slap on the tarp.
474
00:31:55,956 --> 00:31:57,958
- Everything's getting slapped on for you.
- Yep.
475
00:31:58,459 --> 00:31:59,835
Slap them on really fast.
476
00:32:02,212 --> 00:32:05,049
[rhythmic music playing]
477
00:32:08,636 --> 00:32:09,928
Thing's wobbly, this stump.
478
00:32:10,346 --> 00:32:11,889
- [Emilie] What's wobbly?
- My stump.
479
00:32:12,556 --> 00:32:14,266
- You want me to hold you?
- Yeah.
480
00:32:14,391 --> 00:32:15,391
[Emilie] Okay.
481
00:32:17,978 --> 00:32:21,190
[Gilbert] Both me and Emilie had
no idea how to build a homestead.
482
00:32:21,315 --> 00:32:22,983
[Emilie] Careful,
it's going to fall.
483
00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:25,402
Oh, yeah.
484
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,320
[Emilie] Nice.
485
00:32:28,781 --> 00:32:31,200
[Gilbert] Now, we know
what we can do together.
486
00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:33,535
Oh! It's coming down.
487
00:32:39,375 --> 00:32:41,168
But I think it's very important,
488
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:44,213
the journey, the getting
there, you enjoy it.
489
00:32:45,255 --> 00:32:47,299
[Emilie] Oh! Ah!
490
00:32:47,424 --> 00:32:49,802
[laughs] I wasn't looking.
491
00:32:50,803 --> 00:32:55,516
I was laughing because you're getting
a whole bunch of sawdust in your eyes.
492
00:32:57,351 --> 00:33:01,063
[Gilbert] You start from nothing, and then
the end result is this beautiful thing,
493
00:33:01,814 --> 00:33:03,857
It's really starting to
look like a shaputuan.
494
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:04,982
Yeah.
495
00:33:05,901 --> 00:33:10,739
I had a really hard time yesterday,
getting discouraged, getting frustrated.
496
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,866
But now, I just feel a
little bit more excited
497
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:15,536
because I can see that
it's getting somewhere.
498
00:33:16,704 --> 00:33:19,331
Slap on the tarp and then
that's it. We're done.
499
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:21,625
I'm gonna pull it my way.
500
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:25,963
- I can't hear you, you're so far!
- [chuckles]
501
00:33:26,088 --> 00:33:29,258
[soft music playing]
502
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:34,805
- There.
- All right.
503
00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:38,559
[Emilie] We're trying to put
a rectangular tarp over a...
504
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:42,730
I don't even know what kind
of shape this shaputuan is.
505
00:33:48,152 --> 00:33:49,528
It's super
frustrating right now.
506
00:33:50,362 --> 00:33:51,989
Ah, okay.
507
00:33:52,781 --> 00:33:53,907
Right there.
508
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:55,367
It's there.
509
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:57,745
[both grunt]
510
00:33:58,454 --> 00:34:00,914
[Emilie] At this point,
it is what it is, I guess.
511
00:34:02,166 --> 00:34:06,628
The inside looks super nice, you know, I
guess that's what counts, is the inside.
512
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:08,422
I don't know, is
that the saying?
513
00:34:10,090 --> 00:34:11,800
I'm itching to go
hunting tomorrow,
514
00:34:11,925 --> 00:34:14,344
bringing some of that geese
here, and then we'll cook him.
515
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:15,720
We'll have a feast.
516
00:34:17,681 --> 00:34:19,141
Once the geese are done flying,
517
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:21,310
we'll work on the shaputuan
and make it better.
518
00:34:22,269 --> 00:34:25,147
But for now, I think we need to
start focusing on something else.
519
00:34:36,283 --> 00:34:39,286
[upbeat music playing]
520
00:34:41,622 --> 00:34:42,623
Oh, yeah.
521
00:34:43,332 --> 00:34:45,083
[clanging]
522
00:34:47,127 --> 00:34:48,420
Seems pretty hard to me.
523
00:34:50,047 --> 00:34:51,924
I mean, there ain't
no moving that.
524
00:34:57,095 --> 00:34:58,597
Time for the logs, baby.
525
00:34:58,722 --> 00:35:02,184
The first ones we're gonna
put in are these big girls.
526
00:35:03,310 --> 00:35:05,813
They should go together like
a big Lego set, but we'll see.
527
00:35:07,564 --> 00:35:11,109
You got one upright in each corner
and that's what this groove is in.
528
00:35:11,235 --> 00:35:13,779
And then, we'll bring in our
horizontal logs with tongues.
529
00:35:13,904 --> 00:35:16,990
And they'll just slide down
into these grooves. Boom.
530
00:35:24,122 --> 00:35:25,916
Ain't nothing much
sexier than that, boy.
531
00:35:26,834 --> 00:35:28,669
God, that makes me happy.
532
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:39,137
Really gives me
so much pleasure,
533
00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:44,685
watching a bunch of just-peeled trees
take shape into something like this.
534
00:35:44,810 --> 00:35:46,979
It's, that's what it's
all about, for me.
535
00:35:49,064 --> 00:35:50,732
[sighs] The final piece.
536
00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:54,194
This is the one.
537
00:35:56,864 --> 00:35:58,365
Oh, yeah. I like it.
538
00:35:59,408 --> 00:36:01,076
I fucking like it.
539
00:36:03,787 --> 00:36:06,748
Gotta sit back and enjoy the time
when it does look like a cabin
540
00:36:06,874 --> 00:36:09,668
because this is the only
daylight she's ever going to see.
541
00:36:15,632 --> 00:36:17,843
That's one heavy door,
I'll tell you right now.
542
00:36:19,761 --> 00:36:20,888
[sighs]
543
00:36:22,890 --> 00:36:23,890
Ooh.
544
00:36:24,975 --> 00:36:25,975
Ooh.
545
00:36:26,059 --> 00:36:28,478
It's the best-fitting door
I've ever made first shot.
546
00:36:33,901 --> 00:36:35,152
We got issues.
547
00:36:36,403 --> 00:36:38,780
Screws are too small, they're
just going right through.
548
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:40,324
I'm gonna have to nail it.
549
00:36:40,741 --> 00:36:43,577
Only thing is, as soon as we go
with nails in this, we're committed,
550
00:36:44,077 --> 00:36:46,163
because you're not pulling
it off like a screw.
551
00:36:46,288 --> 00:36:48,749
It's like going from a promise
ring with your girlfriend,
552
00:36:49,291 --> 00:36:51,877
where you can back at any
time, to an engagement ring.
553
00:36:52,669 --> 00:36:53,670
That's a nail.
554
00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:57,674
Now, this is the
real moment of truth.
555
00:36:58,675 --> 00:36:59,843
Get those wedges out.
556
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:01,720
Oh, come on, baby.
557
00:37:05,349 --> 00:37:07,434
Shit. There's no way
to get in there now.
558
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,313
The thing is fully sealed up. The
roof is on, the walls are done.
559
00:37:11,438 --> 00:37:14,149
[intriguing music playing]
560
00:37:14,274 --> 00:37:16,068
Ooh, Jesus, that sucks.
561
00:37:17,486 --> 00:37:20,280
Guess my door engineering skills
aren't what I thought they were.
562
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:25,953
Okay. Jesus.
563
00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:32,834
All right. I see the problem.
564
00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:38,298
It's so thick that when it closes into
the frame here, this edge here hooks.
565
00:37:39,049 --> 00:37:41,843
It's already nailed on, so this
thing can't come off the cabin now
566
00:37:41,969 --> 00:37:43,387
without a major fuck around.
567
00:37:43,512 --> 00:37:45,514
So, that leaves
us with one tool.
568
00:37:49,810 --> 00:37:52,479
It's going to be dirty,
it's going to look rough.
569
00:37:53,981 --> 00:37:55,649
But we're gonna get her closed.
570
00:37:57,567 --> 00:37:58,610
Let's have a look.
571
00:38:02,364 --> 00:38:06,868
[singing] Whoo, baby, baby,
don't you like my door?
572
00:38:06,994 --> 00:38:08,620
[sings]
573
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:15,252
Yeah, I'm pretty proud
of this one, yeah.
574
00:38:16,962 --> 00:38:19,798
I'm just kind in awe of myself.
I knew it would look good,
575
00:38:19,923 --> 00:38:23,969
but now, standing back with the stone
and the moss and the log exposed.
576
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:27,347
It's a little hobbit
hole in the woods.
577
00:38:27,472 --> 00:38:29,599
It's one of my favourite
things I've ever built.
578
00:38:31,268 --> 00:38:33,979
Oh, my beautiful
little treasure trove.
579
00:38:37,524 --> 00:38:38,942
Ooh, wow.
580
00:38:39,901 --> 00:38:40,901
Look at this.
581
00:38:41,778 --> 00:38:43,697
My own private
little grocery store.
582
00:38:44,406 --> 00:38:45,949
No more needing to go to town.
583
00:38:46,074 --> 00:38:50,078
I could live out here for a long
time now, when this thing is full.
584
00:38:59,838 --> 00:39:03,091
[rhythmic music playing]
585
00:39:03,216 --> 00:39:05,761
[chainsaw buzzing]
586
00:39:09,806 --> 00:39:15,270
I need a pretty long tree to build a
bridge to get to that cool hunting spot.
587
00:39:16,229 --> 00:39:18,857
The river is way
higher right now.
588
00:39:19,649 --> 00:39:22,402
I need to work fast before
the water is too high.
589
00:39:26,448 --> 00:39:30,911
I want to build it at this curve
there, where there's the beach.
590
00:39:31,036 --> 00:39:33,580
That's the nearest point.
591
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:36,917
I don't have much
tall trees over there.
592
00:39:37,834 --> 00:39:43,256
This tree is kind of the right size
I want, but it's still a full tree.
593
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:45,801
It's pretty heavy to
carry on 300 yards.
594
00:39:46,718 --> 00:39:49,638
[soft music playing]
595
00:39:55,435 --> 00:39:57,687
Yeah. I don't think it's
going to happen with that one.
596
00:39:57,813 --> 00:39:59,815
That's it. [chuckles]
597
00:40:02,943 --> 00:40:04,319
[thunder roaring]
598
00:40:07,447 --> 00:40:11,451
There's always something that goes
not the way you thought it would go.
599
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:16,873
So, you just gotta be able to
take advantage of the environment.
600
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:19,167
[sighs]
601
00:40:21,086 --> 00:40:23,672
I'm gonna cut that tree down.
602
00:40:24,214 --> 00:40:27,008
Ugh, I'm going to attach
it with that strap here,
603
00:40:27,801 --> 00:40:29,177
so I can hold on to it
604
00:40:29,636 --> 00:40:32,681
and let it float down to the beach,
where I want to build a bridge.
605
00:40:34,558 --> 00:40:37,310
I honestly don't know
if it's going to work,
606
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:39,896
but I just got to try this,
that's my best plan right now.
607
00:40:41,731 --> 00:40:45,110
Being in a bush, improvisation
is your best friend,
608
00:40:45,235 --> 00:40:48,363
because nothing never
goes according to plan.
609
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:53,201
[blows raspberries]
610

[rhythmic music playing]
612
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:08,758
It went pretty smooth, actually.
613
00:41:08,884 --> 00:41:11,636
I was expecting a
huge shit happening.
614
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:16,141
There's a bunch of things that
could go wrong with this plan,
615
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:18,560
because there's a lot
of current right now.
616
00:41:18,685 --> 00:41:21,271
[suspenseful music playing]
617
00:41:21,396 --> 00:41:23,773
I don't know if I'm going
to be able to hold on to it,
618
00:41:23,899 --> 00:41:25,192
if it's just dragging me in.
619
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:30,322
You have to take risks if you
want to achieve anything here.
620
00:41:33,408 --> 00:41:34,408
Fuck me.
621
00:41:39,414 --> 00:41:40,414
Okay.
622
00:41:44,961 --> 00:41:46,379
I'm stuck. Fuck.
623
00:41:48,173 --> 00:41:51,426
[epic music playing]
624
00:42:02,312 --> 00:42:05,440
[soft music playing]
625
00:42:09,611 --> 00:42:12,906
I'm going to build a bridge right
here, that's the narrowest part,
626
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:17,369
so I just gotta do that one more
time for the other big tree,
627
00:42:17,494 --> 00:42:22,040
and then cut the small poles for
in between, kind of a ladder.
628
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:29,881
This was the beach
just a couple days ago.
629
00:42:30,006 --> 00:42:33,468
There was no water until the
end of the tree, pretty much.
630
00:42:34,094 --> 00:42:38,139
So, the river was narrower for crossing,
but now it's getting super high.
631
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,809
It's been raining for the
last few days pretty hard,
632
00:42:40,934 --> 00:42:42,936
and it looks like it's
going to stay for a bit,
633
00:42:43,061 --> 00:42:47,232
so I better get that done
before it's too high.
634
00:42:49,651 --> 00:42:51,319
[chainsaw buzzing]
635
00:42:52,654 --> 00:42:57,367
I'm looking for pretty thick poles
for the cross pieces for the bridge.
636
00:43:03,081 --> 00:43:05,625
I'm cutting them in the burn
because there is tons of them,
637
00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:07,961
and it's not too far
from where I'm building.
638
00:43:17,137 --> 00:43:18,137
God damn.
639
00:43:19,806 --> 00:43:23,810
It's just been a couple hours
and the water is already so high.
640
00:43:24,394 --> 00:43:26,771
This was just on the
rocks a couple hours ago.
641
00:43:27,147 --> 00:43:29,983
It's huge now. It's probably going
to get up a couple more feet,
642
00:43:30,108 --> 00:43:32,610
and then it's going
to be way too wide.
643
00:43:32,736 --> 00:43:35,238
[tense music playing]
644
00:43:35,363 --> 00:43:37,907
There is no point of trying
to build anything right now.
645
00:43:38,033 --> 00:43:39,451
It's just going high too fast.
646
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:45,498
I'll just wait for the water to start
dropping and build a bridge at that time.
647
00:43:48,626 --> 00:43:49,753
Rivers are dangerous.
648
00:43:50,211 --> 00:43:54,716
You have to be smart and patient
and not just do stupid things.
649
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,262
Because if I'm in trouble,
nobody will ever know about it.
650
00:44:09,522 --> 00:44:12,817
[soft music playing]
651
00:44:16,071 --> 00:44:18,114
I'm going to start
with the roof.
652
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,240
[sighs]
653
00:44:19,366 --> 00:44:21,076
The next step will be tricky.
654
00:44:21,785 --> 00:44:22,785
Okay.
655
00:44:28,708 --> 00:44:31,252
This piece, it's supposed
to support the roof.
656
00:44:33,963 --> 00:44:35,673
This one is very heavy.
657
00:44:36,174 --> 00:44:37,217
[grunts]
658
00:44:39,761 --> 00:44:41,137
Needs to be stable.

Here we go! [sighs]
663
00:44:57,654 --> 00:44:58,654
Whoo!
664
00:45:02,450 --> 00:45:04,327
I don't see challenge here.
665
00:45:06,037 --> 00:45:09,833
I just see another way
of living the time.
666
00:45:11,292 --> 00:45:15,964
Everything takes more time,
so you have to plan ahead.
667
00:45:18,716 --> 00:45:21,469
I really want this
rafter to hold very well
668
00:45:21,594 --> 00:45:24,889
because that will be at
least three feet of snow.
669
00:45:30,562 --> 00:45:32,355
Oh, man, this is great.
670
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,232
It doesn't move at all.
671
00:45:34,732 --> 00:45:36,776
And, whoo! Oh yeah.
672
00:45:36,901 --> 00:45:39,237
This is working great.
673
00:45:47,245 --> 00:45:49,497
Overlapping boards for roof,
674
00:45:49,622 --> 00:45:54,961
it's very traditional, from
Quebec, in a rural area, mostly.
675
00:45:57,964 --> 00:46:00,758
Which will be perfect for rain.
676
00:46:02,969 --> 00:46:07,432
The rain won't get through, it
will just fly down on the board.
677
00:46:07,557 --> 00:46:08,557
[whistles]
678
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:09,476
Oh, yeah.

00:46:09,601 --> 00:46:10,685
[tsk!]
680
00:46:11,144 --> 00:46:12,937
Whoo! That's done.
681
00:46:13,771 --> 00:46:15,148
Hey, very happy.
682
00:46:16,858 --> 00:46:19,777
[soft music playing]
683
00:46:27,035 --> 00:46:29,871
You know, this cabin has
been built for 20 years,
684
00:46:29,996 --> 00:46:33,541
like, so many years, and now,
I see it completely different.
685
00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:35,543
Now, it's kind of a new home.
686
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,173
You know, it was just the
idea comes from muddy boots.
687
00:46:40,298 --> 00:46:42,258
But it's more than that.
688
00:46:44,219 --> 00:46:47,889
It's an extension
of my living space.
689
00:46:49,224 --> 00:46:55,224
Look at the view, drink my coffee,
instead of always staying inside.
690
00:46:57,565 --> 00:47:03,565
There is life outside, and this is a
great way to see it and to enjoy it.
691
00:47:12,789 --> 00:47:14,499
It's hard to do
everything by yourself.
692
00:47:15,208 --> 00:47:16,960
Sometimes, having
someone would help.
693
00:47:18,127 --> 00:47:19,127
Of course.
694
00:47:19,671 --> 00:47:24,217
The goat pen, it needs
to be goat proof.
695
00:47:24,342 --> 00:47:25,176
[goat bleating]
696
00:47:25,301 --> 00:47:27,303
You're not supposed to do that.
697
00:47:28,388 --> 00:47:29,681
It's a 1000-litre barrel.
698
00:47:29,806 --> 00:47:32,183
The only real issue is just
getting up on the roof.
699
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:36,187
- Oh, geese!
- Oh shit, there's geese!
700
00:47:36,312 --> 00:47:37,438
Up there.
701
00:47:38,523 --> 00:47:39,607
[gunshot]
702
00:47:58,751 --> 00:48:00,753
