Transcript

00:00If you want to live this lifestyle here in the north, you have to be able to hunt, to trap, to fish.

00:10Oh yeah, I got a fish!

00:13You can make your own clothes, you can eat, you can do everything if you have the skills for that.

00:20Traditions is an extremely important thing, and being on the land is a tradition.

00:25But living up here takes a lot of effort, a lot of it.

00:38It's hard to do everything by yourself.

00:41Okay.

00:42The thing with living in a remote place alone is that if something happens, no one knows.

00:49God, the nearest hospital is hours away.

00:50One of the things I love about this lifestyle is, if I can imagine it, I can create it.

00:58Oh yeah, I like it.

01:03We've built this together.

01:05We've really turned this place into a family home.

01:09Whoa!

01:11It's done.

01:13This life I want, it's like a dream home.

01:16I'm dreaming about exploring.

01:21I'm dreaming about what's next.

01:24It was on this Monday morning, and it ate me calm and fine.

01:35For the harbour race excursion, for the boys to have a time.

01:39And just as a sailor pulled a gangway from the pier,

01:42I watched a fella pull me off a board of volunteer.

01:46Oh me, oh my, I heard me always cry.

01:50Oh me, oh my.

01:51It's hard not to be happy.

01:54A whole new boat, a whole new dream.

01:57There's a whole house out here on an island.

02:00It's a whole new thing.

02:07Growing up in Newfoundland, it's an island in the North Atlantic.

02:11So you're always surrounded by the ocean.

02:14And the draw of the ocean, and the draw to live near that,

02:17I guess it's just part of my heritage and something I want to go back to.

02:20So, I bought this old house on Little Island, hold access only.

02:26What a beautiful sight.

02:31Anyone with, you know, two cents in their head would look at this thing and say,

02:34throw the match to it.

02:36But even though it looks like a rotten down tub to most,

02:39go see the house.

02:40It's a dream come true.

02:42It really is.

02:42Oh yeah, look at her run.

02:48She's shining, baby.

02:54There she is.

02:55What a beautiful, beautiful diamond in the rough.

02:58This isn't a cabin like I got up in John's pond, up in the woods.

03:03Something I built myself.

03:05This house itself is over 100 years old, and it's just steeped in history.

03:09Don't get me wrong, I love my cabin.

03:12Come around.

03:14Oh yeah.

03:15But, I want to call this place home and have a life revolving around boats and the tides

03:22and the currents.

03:24That's real Newfoundland.

03:25This is a traditional Newfoundland salt box built back in the day by old fishermen.

03:34This was a thriving community.

03:36There was over 200 families on this island that one time.

03:39And this house and this house beside me are the only two originalists here.

03:44Everything else is gone.

03:45That's why it's got to be saved.

03:47I was here this summer and went through it.

03:50But, with my optimistic eyes, like I'm an over-optimist, I definitely didn't remember being this bad.

04:03I actually bought this cabin sight unseen.

04:06There it is.

04:08I bought this off two grainy old pictures, just off the cuff, and as soon as I seen the old picture of this place, I fell in love.

04:15Oh my God, this is cute.

04:16So when I got here, I seen the whole thing of rose-colored glasses, and you just see this historic, beautiful salt box home on this little hill, just waiting to come back to life.

04:26First look.

04:28Oh no.

04:30It's wet.

04:31Roof is leaking.

04:35F*** though, it's water damage or not, it's a real little house.

04:40Right now, the way the house is, the rose-colored glasses are down a little bit.

04:48And I'm definitely all in on this thing.

04:51It was a stretch for me to be able to buy, even though it was a deal.

04:54And I'm at a point in my life where I really want to set those roots, and not just have a cabin in the woods, but a real home to set my life up in.

05:04So I'm fully invested, just now going back at this point.

05:07This is really the only thing I did this summer, trying to keep some rain out.

05:18But I'm worried about the wind coming in here, getting inside the house here, and just taking this whole wall and just ripping it right off the house.

05:26F*** me.

05:28Have a look on the inside.

05:34This here is a master squeeze.

05:37Sometimes I wonder where I get these crazy dreams, that's for sure.

05:42A lot of people will consider this a nightmare to have to repair this.

05:53It's a little overwhelming how much work is here, because this place is shagged.

05:58And really the only way to save her is this whole wall is going to come down, tear it right off.

06:04This place is so remote.

06:05I'm the only human around for thousands of square kilometers.

06:25It's pretty much just pure forest, and wildlife, and mountains, and me.

06:34So last year my main goal was to build that cabin, which worked out pretty good.

06:47And this year I really want to focus on trapping and make more trails and just go way further into the territory.

06:54So this year I brought a dove team with me and I'm going to be traveling with dogs, which is going to be way more efficient.

07:02I had to fly everybody in, because the strapline is so remote that I couldn't just get here on a sled.

07:09There is no trail access, there is nothing, so we had to fly in together.

07:14We all had to come by bush plane, so that was a big, big adventure for them.

07:29They've never been in a plane, but it went pretty smooth.

07:37But we made it and they're pretty happy.

07:42I like it so far here.

07:45Yes, I love you too.

07:50These dogs are Alaskan Huskies.

07:52They're completely adapted to this environment and this kind of weather.

07:57But even though these dogs are Nordic dogs and they're used to the cold, they still need shelter to protect them from the elements.

08:07No, we're not going inside now.

08:10Right now it's technically fall, but there's lots of snow already.

08:14And when I got here, it was minus 40.

08:18It was a huge transition for the dogs, because the last couple of weeks were not that cold.

08:24So I need to get dog houses built as soon as possible.

08:27I'm not going to do a fancy building for that.

08:33I just want something airtight, a good roof, a small door so there's not too much heat getting out.

08:41And it should be good.

08:43Come here.

08:47Oh, happy dogs.

08:51This extreme cold weather got me off guard.

08:53It's not that cold that early usually.

08:56But that's how it is here.

08:59Weather is pretty unpredictable.

09:02So I have to deal with it and find a way to get this done.

09:07The logs are pretty frozen right now, so the mail doesn't stick as much.

09:12I didn't grow up in cold temperatures at all.

09:17In France, the winters are pretty mild.

09:19So it was new for me when I moved up north.

09:24And I never had dogs growing up.

09:27My parents are not really dog lovers at all.

09:30But I'm making up for it now.

09:40That's it.

09:41Little mini cabins for doggies.

09:44This one just took a couple hours compared to this one that took a couple months.

09:51And I just have to do seven more of these and it should be good.

09:57I feel really responsible for these dogs.

10:00I have to make sure they're safe and they're happy.

10:05It's not just about taking care of myself.

10:08There's nine of us here now.

10:22This land has been in my family for four generations.

10:26Tradition is just special to me.

10:30Old, old, old.

10:36But at the same time, there's something inside me that's pushing forward all the time.

10:42Everything is rotten here.

10:44It's like, oof!

10:48I don't feel safe anymore in this cabin because of the roof.

10:52It can collapse this winter, okay, from the heavy snowfall.

10:55So, the roof is done.

10:59I need to change it.

11:01And I've got to do it now.

11:03Because maybe in a few weeks, the snow will come and winter will be here.

11:07I guess I'm gonna stop from the inside.

11:16There's dust everywhere.

11:30It was hard to breathe.

11:31Okay, so change of plan.

11:32I've got to do it from the outside.

11:33And it's high up, man.

11:34Living off grid here, you need plan A, plan B, plan C sometimes.

11:37You have to be creative.

11:38I'm always learning.

11:39I'm always experimenting new thing.

11:43And I have to do it.

11:45If I don't, it's not possible to live in this home.

11:53The couch is done.

11:56I'm just going to play next week.

11:58And I have to do it.

12:00If I don't, it's not possible to live in this home.

12:08And if the couch starts by celebrating like this,

12:11The cuts is done, I'm just going to put the chain into the big hole there,

12:16and I'm hoping everything will just come off the roof.

12:22So that's the plan.

12:24Hopefully this one is going to work, otherwise I don't know what I'm going to do.

12:28I'm going to cry in the woods.

12:37All righty, this is a good job.

12:41This is very stressful, actually.

12:48The first one is always the worst.

13:05Come on!

13:07I'm out of here.

13:10Oh!

13:11I'm out of here.

13:14Come on!

13:18It's stuck there.

13:22It's stuck there.

13:26It's stuck there.

13:27It's stuck there.

13:28Yeah!

13:29It's stuck there.

13:31It's gone.

13:32Snowshoes?

13:41Snowshoes.

13:44Right now we're in the fall months.

13:47The snow just came about three days ago.

13:51Coming up, the river's going to freeze.

13:55We're going to be able to go hunting soon.

13:58So right now's the right time to start building a cache.

14:01Are you good?

14:03Oh yeah.

14:04The food cache is very important because we're hoping to get some caribou.

14:09We want to be able to store it up there, away from the elements and away from the animals as well.

14:17You've got to cover your head because there's going to be a lot of snow falling.

14:27Our homestead is a work in progress.

14:29We have so many ideas and dreams for this place.

14:35Living off the land.

14:36Nice.

14:37We got a rabbit.

14:39And teaching our kids traditional bush skills.

14:41Pick it up and smack it down.

14:44Yes!

14:45A food cache is going to be new for me and I love learning.

14:51I'd like to take this.

14:52Okay.

14:53I'll start taking branches off of this one.

14:55All right.

14:56Back away from my tree, man.

14:58All right.

14:59I'll do this one.

15:00See?

15:00How far up?

15:06Just here.

15:08Okay.

15:10Polar bears.

15:11They can't get up here because they don't know how to climb.

15:14But anything else, they can still get it.

15:16But we're going to put metal containers and then we'll put a lid on it.

15:20All right.

15:20Because we've got really smart animals around here, like wolverines.

15:28So we need four posts.

15:30We have three already.

15:32Natural trees.

15:33And then the other one's going to go right here.

15:35Do you have a gun nearby?

15:49Yep.

15:50Where is it?

15:50Right there.

15:51Okay, good.

15:53It's a little bit iffy for polar bears.

15:57Usually they go out into the Hudson Bay to go hunt.

16:01Like a month ago, they would have done that a month ago.

16:03But this year, the ice froze too late.

16:08Scary, too.

16:08The ones that starve.

16:10And they just want to kill, you know?

16:12Yeah.

16:12Eat.

16:14This is what happened to my uncle.

16:16He was target shooting.

16:17Luckily, he was reloading his rifle.

16:20And it's charged at him.

16:21It was a polar bear.

16:23And he shot it.

16:24Mm-hmm.

16:24Just wanted to eat.

16:28Running into a polar bear,

16:30that threat is always there.

16:35And I know it's not the best thing to do,

16:37but I just think about that all the time.

16:39And...

16:40About this old abandoned house.

16:53She's a ticking time bomb,

16:56and she could fall apart at any moment,

16:57or any gust of good wind.

17:00So there's no time to waste.

17:02I just want to save her as quick as possible.

17:11This is pretty rough around here.

17:14I mean, you can't even stand up there

17:15without coming through the floor, so...

17:17This needs to be reinforced in here

17:19before we can tear this wall off.

17:24If we didn't put these supports in,

17:26once we take the whole front of the house off,

17:29this will just be hanging in the wind.

17:31And this will just sag right down or snap off.

17:34Who knows?

17:34So it's just temporary for now

17:36to hold everything in place.

17:37There's deathly concern

17:44in this whole place falling down.

17:47If you were in the city,

17:48you'd be wearing a hard hat right now,

17:50and a safety inspector

17:51would have this place shut down so quick.

17:56I have no desire to have a house in the city.

17:58To have a house like this,

18:00remote on an old island,

18:02that's my kind of real estate.

18:04It's a lot more than just

18:05fixing up an old house.

18:06It's trying to preserve a way of life

18:08from my people, where I come from.

18:11And it's dying fast.

18:18All right, that's looking good.

18:20It's basically, instead of using a jack,

18:23every smack we're pushing the roof

18:24up higher and higher.

18:26She's coming up.

18:29As you can see,

18:30that's how much we've come up already.

18:36Something went wrong there.

18:40That's all right.

18:41We're going to maintain

18:42with the traditional building technique,

18:44which is zero measuring tools,

18:46just get it done with scraps and stones

18:48and stick it together.

18:50Wow, it's off.

18:57Oof.

19:02Oh, my God.

19:05I mean, we're leveling this up,

19:07but I can already tell,

19:08but let's not come square.

19:10There's a big hollow here on the floor.

19:12The thing I'm going to have to do

19:13is go underneath right here,

19:14jack up the floor a little bit,

19:16square up the rest of the house,

19:17if that makes sense.

19:20We'll see.

19:24I don't mind a lot of things,

19:26but something about crawling

19:29underneath this old house

19:30and so tight down there

19:31really does make you feel

19:34a little bit uneasy.

19:36Just going to have to do it, I guess.

19:37I don't know.

19:40We're a long way from the hospital.

19:47I really like my solitude in the bush.

20:01It's just your little world.

20:05But, uh...

20:06Sometimes you can get lonely.

20:08So...

20:09Okay, come on.

20:11It's nice to have company.

20:13Gates, Wolf, come on, guys.

20:16Okay, come in.

20:17Come in.

20:18Oh, good boy.

20:24I place the dog houses

20:26around the cabin

20:27so I can keep an eye on them

20:29and hear them at night.

20:34There's a lot of wolf activity

20:36around here

20:37and I want to keep them close.

20:39So, is that comfy?

20:41It would break my heart

20:42if something would happen.

20:44They're my best friends

20:45and my kids.

20:46Go back to sleep, bud.

20:48And I take care of these dogs

20:50but they also take care of me

20:52because it's been a dream

20:54for a very, very long time

20:55to be able to trap

20:57with my sled dogs

20:58and those dogs are my only way

21:01to get me to the places

21:03I need to go.

21:07Wolves hate having other canine around.

21:09They will come check it out

21:11either by curiosity

21:12or just getting rid of the competition.

21:16Last year,

21:17when I was building the cabin,

21:20I had to shoot one

21:21right next six yards

21:22from my tent.

21:24So, of course,

21:25there's wolves around

21:26and I want to be careful.

21:30Right now,

21:31I have half of the dogs free

21:32and half of the dogs tied up.

21:34Oh, good girl!

21:36What were you?

21:39Some of the dogs,

21:39I don't trust them

21:40fully loose around the cabin

21:42because I know

21:42they would run pretty far away

21:44from the cabin.

21:45I'm scared because

21:47I have traps set up

21:48and I don't want them

21:49to be caught and hurt.

21:55So, that's why

21:56I want to build a pen here.

21:59So, for the dogs

22:00that I can't have fully loose,

22:02they will be loose in the pen

22:03and I know the wolves

22:05won't be able to get to them

22:06if they come sneak around

22:07and they can play

22:09and be chain-free, you know?

22:15Okay.

22:21Bacchae, come here.

22:23Bacchae, come on, stop it.

22:26Bacchae is a bro digger

22:28and spends probably

22:29like 22 hours every day

22:31to dig holes everywhere.

22:38Working in the gold

22:39is challenging.

22:41Everything takes more time,

22:43more effort.

22:45The tree is frozen.

22:48But, you can't let

22:49the cold stop you.

22:51There are so many things

22:52that need to be done

22:53you can't stop.

23:00That's it.

23:00I can try to break dogs in

23:02and see if it works.

23:05Come on, guys.

23:07Come in.

23:08Oh, good boys.

23:10Michael, you ready, man?

23:13You're going to be nice.

23:14Good boys.

23:15Come on, yummy.

23:18Oh, I know you want to escape.

23:19I don't trust you.

23:22Woo-hoo!

23:25Hey, bud.

23:27You guys liking it?

23:30Oh, they're cute.

23:32You know, it's pee all over the place now.

23:35Last one.

23:38Bacchae, come here.

23:40Come here, Bacchae.

23:41Bacchae, come here, bud.

23:48Bacchae is always loose.

23:50Hey, guys.

23:51Where is Bacchae?

23:52But, uh,

23:53usually he's following me everywhere,

23:55so I'm not sure where he is right now.

23:59Bacchae, come on, buddy.

24:00I'm wondering if you took off further than usual.

24:07It makes me so worried because of wolves around

24:09and all the traps I have.

24:12If you get caught in a trap,

24:13you would definitely be hurt or be killed

24:18if it's a big conny bear trap.

24:19So, yeah, it's not good.

24:26Come on, bud.

24:39Everything you do for the first time, it's hard.

24:43But I'm just scared of failing because I'm learning.

24:46Oh, man, come on!

24:51Bacchae.

24:54It doesn't work.

24:56It's still stuck there.

25:09Whoa!

25:12Oh!

25:13The roof is farting down inside.

25:16I'm gonna try to lift it up.

25:19Put some shingle on the knees

25:21to make it slide better

25:23because now,

25:24if the roof goes down inside,

25:27I am f***ed.

25:33Oh, yeah.

25:35Okay, at least the roof is going hot.

25:40Okay.

25:41What I have to do now,

25:44put a pulley over there

25:45so it's gonna pull upward

25:48and not downward.

25:50I really want to make it done before it gets dark.

25:59Sometimes some work can be overwhelming.

26:02I am the only person on this instead.

26:03I am the only person on this instead.

26:05So the job needs to be done by me.

26:07There is a responsibility to it

26:08and also there is a pressure.

26:09Okay.

26:10If it doesn't work, you know,

26:11I'll have to cut it in pieces.

26:12You know, that's a lot of work though.

26:14Oh, man, that's...

26:26Yeah, let's do it.

26:31Yeah, let's do it.

26:35Oh, come on!

26:51I'm very disappointed now.

27:01Oh.

27:03Maybe I have an idea.

27:07Butter!

27:09It's here.

27:13Something's stuck here.

27:16It wasn't completely cut.

27:19Oh, yeah!

27:28That side is completely free.

27:3420 minutes.

27:36Sun left.

27:49Whoa-ho!

27:54Whoa-ho!

27:56Let's go!

27:57Come on, come on, come on!

27:59Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

28:06They're just busy!

28:09Hey!

28:10You're just 10 minutes to sunset.

28:13Oh, that one's set. Oh, man.

28:19Oh, that was a big job.

28:21Whoo!

28:32Are you ready?

28:34Ready.

28:36The word for a cache in Cree is a .

28:39Lift.

28:41And knowing Gilbert, he'll probably want to go big.

28:45This project here is the best project for me

28:48because when I was growing up,

28:49he used to make three houses.

28:51And this reminds me of that.

28:56Let me know when you're ready.

28:58Yeah, right there, yeah.

29:00Slowly.

29:06Okay, nice.

29:08All right, now just hold it.

29:09Okay.

29:10I'll hold it.

29:11Uh, Gilbert?

29:12Hmm?

29:13How do we take down this rope?

29:14No, we just leave it.

29:15Yeah?

29:16Yeah.

29:17Okay.

29:20So I guess we'll work on the main beams, eh?

29:22Yeah, main beams first.

29:23We don't need to go buy any lumber for this project.

29:33This is just as traditional as it gets,

29:37other than maybe the nails we're going to be using

29:39and these hatches.

29:44Am I doing the holding or am I doing the nailing?

29:46Nailing?

29:47Nailing.

29:48I'm doing the nailing?

29:49Okay.

29:50I'll do the nailing.

29:55I can't imagine.

29:58Okay.

30:01Gilbert?

30:02Hmm?

30:03Didn't we say we were putting it on the inside?

30:05Yeah, it doesn't matter.

30:06Because we're going to lay these other ones here.

30:08Okay.

30:09But then what was the point of putting these up?

30:11Oh, yeah.

30:12Maybe the long ones need to sit on top of these at this.

30:15Yeah.

30:16Yeah.

30:17That's true.

30:18We adapt and change as we go.

30:21We've been doing that since we had kids.

30:23So we're used to it.

30:25We're like experts.

30:26Yeah.

30:27Yeah.

30:31Let's try to finish this now before the sun goes down.

30:37You want to try it?

30:39Very nice.

30:41Maybe I should do this while you get logs.

30:43No way.

30:44Give that back to me.

30:5420 of these and they're finished?

30:58Yeah.

30:59It's a fairly straightforward, simple project,

31:02but it's a lot of work to get to that.

31:05You know, it's easy to say we'll just take down poles

31:08and get the poles going,

31:10but you also have to haul them, strip them, hammer them.

31:18Good?

31:19Yeah.

31:20It's starting to look like a cache.

31:25Alright, last one.

31:27Wow.

31:32Yeah.

31:33The height is good and it looks fairly straight, eh?

31:35Yep.

31:36Go on top of it now.

31:37Mmm.

31:38Do they?

31:39Uh, no.

31:42I really don't like heights,

31:43and right now my arms are sore.

31:46I'm cold.

31:48I will come up tomorrow when there's more brace.

31:54Sometimes there's risks that you need to take,

31:58and this isn't one of them.

32:00As soon as you look under here, you can really see that they just used whatever they had.

32:18Looks like there's an old wooden toolbox down here holding up the house for God's sakes.

32:23It is certainly sketchy.

32:24It would not be fun to have this thing fall on your head.

32:28Especially this far out in the woods.

32:29My God, they really didn't care about safety one bit back in the day.

32:38Let me get this done and get the hell out.

32:42Pull those wedges out, scares the hell out of me.

32:44Crazy to think that at some time this house was sagging,

32:49that some guy crawled in here, put a toolbox down it,

32:53and then a bunch of little rocks and scraps of wood called it good.

32:58Yeah, that's an old toolbox.

33:03Really, this whole foundation is just a lot of jack work.

33:06And you can't do it all at once.

33:07If you do it all at once, the house would crack in half.

33:09You need to just inch her up over the weeks and over the months

33:12until eventually she's nice and level.

33:15Yeah, good as new.

33:17Ready for a dance floor.

33:19But right now I'm happy with just getting her

33:21square enough to try and get my framing in.

33:37The work here, it's all dictated by modern nature.

33:41Rain is coming in two days.

33:45Rain can destroy floor of my cabin, the interior.

33:50So today I need the trust to be on the roof.

33:53on the roof.

34:02No, no, no.

34:04Yeah.

34:05Awkward.

34:08All right.

34:09Yeah, these are pretty heavy, like we'll say like 60 to 80 pounds.

34:15So, pretty awkward and heavy to lift it up.

34:23Looking back 20 years ago when I finished to build the roof,

34:26the roof.

34:28My dad said, you know, I should put trusses on.

34:30And I told him, you know, that I didn't want to.

34:32I really wanted to do it my way.

34:36And now I've got real truss.

34:39All right.

34:41This is the way my father wanted me to do it.

34:44Thank you, Kai.

34:46My dad passed away about, yeah, three years ago.

34:50Oh!

34:52But I'm pretty sure, you know, if dad would be back,

34:55he would be very pleased, you know, that I'd finally listen to him.

34:57What a beautiful day.

35:08Oh, man, I love when everything goes fine.

35:12You know, I'm just trying to do my best to make sure everything...

35:16It's right.

35:17Anger or joy.

35:30Nothing is permanent.

35:33Changes is part of life.

35:36And we have to add them.

35:42They have no choice.

35:43It's about at least 10 feet.

35:53So, oh yeah, I can hurt myself very much here.

36:00There we go.

36:04It's heavier than I thought, as always.

36:09Thank you, baby.

36:11You can do that.

36:14When I talk to myself when I'm kind of scary...

36:17Oh, right.

36:19Oh, man.

36:21It's a good way, you know, to breathe.

36:25Yeah!

36:26And I'm more in control.

36:28Compared to just...

36:29You know, I'm so happy, but I'm just tired.

36:30I just want a beer and a good bed.

36:31I push myself...

36:32I'm so happy, but I'm just tired.

36:33I just want a beer and a good bed.

36:34I push myself...

36:35I'm so happy.

36:36I just want a beer and a good bed.

36:37I push myself today.

36:38I'm so happy, but I'm just tired.

36:43So far, I've been self-sufficient here.

36:44I've been doing a lot of work.

36:45I'm so happy.

36:46I'm so happy, but I'm just tired.

36:47I just want a beer and a good bed.

36:49I push myself today.

36:50So far, I've been self-sufficient here.

36:51I've been doing a lot of things by myself, and it worked.

36:54But right now, because of the weather, I need help, just to make sure the job will be done

37:21fast, but also safely.

37:23All right.

37:24Be careful, man.

37:25Almost there.

37:26I asked a friend to a friend, Jeremy, to help me out.

37:30So, does it fit?

37:31Yeah.

37:32Yeah?

37:33Okay, cool.

37:34And we're going to make it done today.

37:43I'm so glad we are two, though.

37:50It's a relief, actually.

37:52It feels so much stress, you know, lately, doing everything myself.

37:56For now, it's just, wow, a lot of weight off my shoulder.

37:59I didn't quite beat the rain, but it's almost there.

38:06Yeah.

38:07Yeah.

38:08This place is so important to me.

38:13It's like I belong to this place.

38:16So, I'm glad I did it right.

38:17I'm glad I did it right.

38:18These past couple of days, it's been fairly warm, but today it's gotten pretty cold.

38:23North wind is really picking up.

38:24It's cold, eh?

38:2510 degrees is a big difference, right?

38:26Yeah, it's crazy how much the colder weather really changes the way you work.

38:32It's a gig.

38:33It's a gig.

38:34The nails are really cold.

40:13already been a bear that's been around our cabin and they're known to destroy things even things
