My Wild Holm - Wilderness Island

🌲 NEW EPISODE! We're Turning a Wild Canadian Island Into Our Home! 🇨🇦

Another day, another step toward building our dream home in the wilderness!

This week, Ryan is back at work on the battery bunker site, we're tackling another big project on the lake, and there are a few moments that remind us why living on a remote island is never quite predictable! 😂

From moving heavy equipment to moving things across the water, there's always something happening out here.

Whether you've been following us from the beginning or you're just discovering our island, we're so glad you're here.

💚 Episode 11 is now live!

What would be the biggest challenge for YOU if you lived somewhere this remote?

My Wild Holm - Wilderness Island

TONIGHT's LIVESTREAM:

We're getting ready to leave our remote wilderness island in British Columbia for a few months, but this year, we're doing things a little differently!

Join us for a LIVE catch-up as we share our plans for the coming winter, including our exciting return to the island with our airboat!

We're hoping to start our next island season TWO MONTHS earlier than usual. It's all part of our long-term dream of spending more and more of our lives living off-grid in the Canadian wilderness.

After another season of building, problem-solving, and learning what it really takes to live on a remote island, we're looking ahead to a new chapter.

We'll chat about what's ahead, the projects still waiting for us, and what it will take to extend our time on the island.

Come say hello, bring your questions, and spend some time with us before we head out! youtube.com/live/59SKjl159Dw

My Wild Holm - Wilderness Island

🏝️ NO ROAD HOME! 🚜💚

Living on a remote island in the Canadian wilderness certainly has its challenges — especially when you need to bring something BIG home!

After more than a month without Pepper, our hardworking Kubota track loader, we're FINALLY heading out to bring him back to Bird Island! And when there's no road to your home, even the simplest jobs can turn into an adventure!

We're also getting creative with a new implement to improve our garden soil, and sharing more of the everyday projects and simple pleasures that make this unusual lifestyle so rewarding.

If you've ever wondered what it REALLY takes to live on a remote island, come spend another day with us!

🎬 Episode 9 is now LIVE!

💚 A LITTLE CHANGE OF PLANS, HOLMIES!

Our new episode is taking a little longer than expected to get uploaded, so rather than rush things, we've decided to move our release to tomorrow morning, Monday, at 9:00 AM Pacific!

We're calling this one “Our Kind of Retirement” — and we're taking you along for a look at everyday life on our remote wilderness island. 🏝️

Thanks for your patience, everyone! We look forward to sharing part of your Monday morning with you! 💚

**Just to keep connected, like we promised though, we invite you to attend our livestream over at our Open House Community Channel at 7pm CST tonight.**

😂🤣 Oh my goodness… WHERE do little ones come up with these things?!
She was singing “Down by the Bay” when she suddenly had to think of her own rhyme… 😂 (This is my grandbaby a few years back)
What she came up with had us all laughing! 🤣🐶 #mywildholm #shorts #shortsvideo #downbythebay

🎶 You HAVE to hear this one! 👇❤️

My Wild Holm - Wilderness Island

NEW EPISODE IS LIVE! ❤️
Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make everyday life so much easier.
This week Ryan tackles one of those little projects I’ve wanted for a long time — getting our microwave and toaster oven/air fryer/convection oven up off the counter so we could finally reclaim some much-needed workspace in our tiny cabin.
He’s also back outside making more progress on the dock… although that one still has a ways to go! 😂
Come spend another week with us on Bird Island. #mywildholm #offgridliving #offgridlife #retirementadventures
