Welcome to My Wild Holm — Open House, the conversational side of our remote island life in a tiny cabin in Northern British Columbia.
This is where we gather for livestreams, relaxed visits, questions and answers, practical discussions, behind-the-scenes stories and the information that does not always fit inside our regular My Wild Holm episodes.
Whether you have followed our journey for years or have just discovered us, you are always welcome here. Come share your experience, ask questions, join the conversation and spend some time with Ryan, Melodi and the Holmies.
Our main My Wild Holm channel follows the ongoing story of building and living on our remote wilderness island. Open House is where we sit down together and talk about the projects, challenges, decisions and everyday realities behind that story.
Come on in—the door is open.
My Wild Holm - Open House
🏡 Hey Holmies! Episode 11 is here! 💚
Ryan and Melodi are back with another adventure on our wilderness island!
There's progress on some big projects, a few unexpected moments, and plenty of the everyday reality that comes with trying to turn a wild Canadian island into our home.
And yes... Pepper is involved! 😂
We won't give anything away here, but there's lots for us to chat about at our next Open House!

My Wild Holm - Open House
Hello, Holmies! 💚
It's time for another Open House, and we've got plenty to catch up on!
We're getting ready to pack up and leave our wilderness island for a few months, but don't worry — we've already got some exciting plans for our return!
This winter, we're hoping to bring the airboat back to the island and begin our season two months earlier than usual. Little by little, we're working toward spending longer stretches of the year living right here in the wilderness.
Tonight, we're keeping things relaxed. We'll catch up on island life, chat about what we've accomplished, share what's coming next, and answer your questions.
And of course, we'd love to hear how all of YOU are doing!
Grab your favourite drink, settle in somewhere comfortable, and join us for an evening of conversation, laughter, and a little dreaming about the future.
Our island adventures aren't ending — we're just figuring out how to make them last longer!
See you at Open House!
💚 Ryan & Melodi

My Wild Holm - Open House
Well, Holmies… GUESS WHO'S FINALLY COMING HOME?! 😂🚜💚
Our boy PEPPER!!
After more than a month without our trusty Kubota, we're sure happy to be getting him back! You don't realize just how much you depend on something until it's not there when you need it.
Of course, getting anything to Bird Island is a bit of an adventure when there's no road to our home!
And because there's never a dull moment around here, we're also experimenting with our new concrete implement to amend the garden soil. Sometimes the most unexpected tools turn out to be pretty handy!
Our latest episode is up on the main channel, and we'd love for you to join us.
🎬 https://youtu.be/h5LdYr-xZhI
Here's a question for you: What's one tool or piece of equipment you own that you'd really struggle to do without?
Can't wait to hear your answers! 💚

My Wild Holm - Open House
A shout out to the Holmies! As you know, we are on our supply run but we plan to check in with you all on Sunday night at 7:00pm CT (5pm PT). Although we aren't on tonight, we wanted to say hello and send out a special request to keep JHart in your thoughts and prayers. He reached out this week and asked that his special Holmie community hold him up as he battles a life-threatening situation called: Peripheral Vascular Disease. He requires an upcoming surgery that without, he will lose his left leg and possibly his life. He is reaching out to this community that has become so precious to him in hopes that you will send prayers up on his behalf. Thank you so much for your kind support and love.

My Wild Holm - Open House
The door is OPEN tonight! 💚
We’re LIVE at **5 PM PT / 7 PM CT** with:
**Real Life, Strange Habits & Good Conversation**
No serious agenda tonight — just a fun visit about the weird little things we all do.
Checking the door twice. Forgetting why we walked into a room. Saving things because they’re “still perfectly good.” Putting something somewhere safe… and never seeing it again. 😂
We want to hear YOURS too.
Come on in, say hello, and spend the evening with us and the Holmies.
**What’s one funny little habit you have that you suspect everybody else does too?**

Holmies — the new episode is up! ❤️
This one has one of those projects that probably doesn’t look enormous from the outside, but for me it makes such a difference.
Ryan finally built the little shelves we’d been talking about for the microwave and toaster oven/air fryer/convection oven, and getting those appliances off the counter gave us back a surprising amount of workspace.
And yes… there’s more dock building too. 😄
Come watch and then tell us what you think of the new setup! #mywildholm #offgridliving #offgridlife #retirementadventures

Holmies… this was one of those days. 😂
A trip to get Pepper serviced went sideways, a long-awaited pickup came with another delay, an old project finally got some attention, and Melodi is still trying to outsmart the squirrels.
Episode 5 is up now — come watch with us. ❤️ #mywildholm #offgrid #offgridlife #retirementadventures https://youtu.be/_Ucn26Ml-zg
