-- It's been about a month since I've filmed a camping video. The last video you saw from me was pt 2 of Doug and I on our fun 2 day canoe trip. I have a very good reason for my time off :) I am not done with camping, I just have to wait a little while longer.
Hey guys, how you doing?
It's been a little while
and I am indeed done camping for a bit and this is why.
This is Miss Autumn.
She's the newest addition to our family.
She is a week and two days, a week and a day, a week and a day old.
This is the reason I'm not camping right now.
She was born at around 8.30 at night a week and a day ago.
She was five pounds, how many ounces, 12?
6 pounds, 13 ounces. I knew that.
6 pounds, 13 ounces is about 20 inches long.
Looking just like her daddy.
You guys want to get a little bit of a closer view?
She's
precious.
Scout loves
her.
He scoots. You got a kissy for the babies?
Oh, good boy. Good boy.
Yes, you're a good boy.
Okay. Okay. Go lay down. Go lay down.
Good boy. He loves her a lot.
We brought her home
and he greeted us right away.
Very happy. All licks and
fun. I'm trying not to let him kiss her face, obviously
too much kiss her mouth
or anything like that but he took
a boy he wants to be involved that was
a super busy time in my life
and all in my family's lives um we were in the process of moving
we listed our house yesterday
and um in order to get into our new house we need to have this sold
by the 27th this month so it's all in the contract
already everything's all lined up everything's all
taken care of squared away except for us selling this house
but the market has been crazy and uh
we should sell it within about
a week we're gonna have an open house soon
so that should be good and then we'll all be north
we'll be north next month and works out which it should so
then i'll be able to get back
to making videos guys i have a lot of plans up
there for those who haven't heard me say this
before i am we are moving up near around Sault Ste. Marie there's
so much crown land up there there's so many different parks
i have access to a hundred acre camp like forest
20 minutes away from the new house i have uh water
in my backyard a big old lake so the options oh
and bush in the front of my house
so i could do like a little base camp type deal make like a big
um you know base camp scramble low style right near my house
and then still go and do other
things obviously all the time go
and do other things go to um trips on the crown land trips
in Lake Superior Park go down to Killarney
um do the Goulais River there's just so many options i
can paddle a river all the way from like
a headwater from where it starts up into lake
superior so yeah lots of options i'll be getting
a boat i'll be getting a four-wheeler a snowmobile
all that fun stuff um the the possibilities will be endless up there
so emerald will be going to
school up there we'll be raising autumn up there
as well i think it'll just be a better life for us
it'll be way more rural almost we're not in a city
by any means a bush like i said water
we'll be able to grow vegetables procure food there's
a well i'll get solar panels just be
way way way more self-sufficient there's a wood stove
and also propane heating you know what i
mean so it's like best of both worlds kind
of thing lots of wood i'm excited i'm very excited
this is something that we need this is a change we need for our lives
and it'll make my my working
a lot easier right right now a lot
of you guys know i travel all the time that's why there's
not been any videos it's not like you can go around
the corner and make a video i mean i'm
a video today in my house but this isn't
my normal stuff obviously you guys see me camping all the
time so i'm constantly driving just
for my cell phone i'm constantly driving seven eight ten
even more uh longer hours to get to a place one way
and by the time i get there i have to sleep
and then start to camp the next day right
because i've driven all day it's played a huge it's taxing
it's very taxing i don't want to do it anymore i don't want
to be gone from my family all the time
i'm to go do one overnighter like i said i'm
driving all day long camping or staying at
buddy's house starting the overnighter the next morning
and camping all that night and then driving
home so it's a three night thing sorry one two
a two night thing sometimes a three night thing
but i'm home at the end of the third day so i'm
and then i'm editing the video which takes two
or three days then i put it up and i have about a day
or two before i have to go again it's very
taxing um driving putting tons of kilometers
on the car being away from the family now that we
have this it's a little bundle of joy i don't want to do that you know
and i didn't want to do that
for a long time so this move is very important i'll
be able to do this stuff right outside my
door literally or drive an hour and be there
so the options will be astronomical and the content
will be way different it'll be good it'll
be i expect myself to have a new renewed sense of
everything being up there i'll be able to make
a studio in my basement i'll be able to do some
podcasts and things like that.
So I'm really looking forward to it. Emerald was very happy
to have Autumn home. She's a very big help.
It's kind of scary sometimes because she bounces
around a lot and you know as a newborn you want
to be really careful, right? But she's
very excited, very happy, very big helper.
And Autumn is very healthy and very hungry
all the time. She's a little sleepy.
She sleeps probably all the time, wakes up to get fed
probably every two to three hours wills
breastfeeding and I'm also feeding a
formula when she is sleeping
because we'll never got more than maybe three
hours of sleep broken up maybe five hours
of sleep total broken up in the
first three days first three full days
and nights and I'm talking like a half
an hour here an hour there
and I thought maybe double the sleep she did or
whatever but still
so it's a very motherly instinct I'm sure if you want
to breastfeed your kid not wanting to have formula
and stuff like that but the
time comes where it's like mama you need to go to sleep kind of thing
so we've been taking turns and
it's been working out good she's
a good baby very happy baby sometimes she smiles but it's just gas
well guys i just really wanted to give you
an update um it's been this will be the second
week i haven't gone on a trip
and even the video before this was the second part to a trip with
doug so i know i'm slacking but i swear i have a good reason
and this is it here just a really
really busy time in my life
and it's good everything's good this is an exciting time we are
we're expanding we're improving everything's
really good it's just super hectic but i promise
i promise i'm not done i have no desire
to be done i want to come back stronger than ever
i want to come back rejuvenated all sorts
of new places to go new things to do new toys to play
with and i really hope you guys will stay along
