Video Rating: 4 / 5
I could have sworn hitler and napoleon made the same exact mistakes when trying to invade russia in winter. why does everyone make the same dumb ass move
there’s nothing simple or affordable about this.
@savestheday0 I was just thinking the same thing!
they should have converted their trucks with the tracks……..turns your vehicle into like a tank.
I can’t think of anything less ‘simple’ that his ridiculous video. He should just admit that it’s a feel-good ploy for building a vacation house.
I would probraly have used snowchains before a chopper? I don’t know if they did that, but snowchains help extremely
@aantiawp
It is major winter in North Bay Sudbury area until end of April and ground frozen til the end of May up there.

@nixrate
I Agree. He is definitely not worried about his beer bottle deposit money.
i know right? Just tear down the old house and build a bigger, newer one….
they should have started February and not October. what the hell lol
Might have been easier to just build a new house from ground up, starting at spring/early summer.
@imaking425 Les doesn’t do that. He does it in a way but with his voice not with added manipulated drama like others
@narutoforever543 Because the Roads were to bad but since the Helicopter Polit Left Half of the load behind I simply wouldn’t pay him especially if it got stolen…..!
I think he should of just gave up as soon as he needed a helicopter.
And who gets a helicopter to move building supplies? Seems kind of pointless except for ‘drama’ purposes… This show is making Off the Grid living look incredibly ridiculous when it isn’t ridiculous.. It’s doing a great disservice to the world.
@imaking425 It was definitely done for that reason. They also made it look much harder than it is really. You don’t have to be that far off in the boonies. That has nothing at all to do with living off the grid.
@imaking425 implying us watching this for free on youtube is marketing
henry david Thoreau would have shit his pants, went to church, AND paid his taxes if he were to see this abortion of an attempt to “live simply.”
i dont have a problem with any of this . had a chance to do it abt 10 yrs ago. should have done it then . living in the country now , and trying to figure out how to do this on my salary now in a ressession is a bit challenging but its slowly coming together . trying to make it portable , atleast partially ,if we need to bug out .
Where is your snow blower and tractor man?
