Before you burn all of that, you should go through and take whatever boards and items you can use again somewhere down the line and whatever’s rotten burn it. And if you’re gonna live on that island and build on that island, I’d recommend bringing a camper out on a barge and setting it up there so you have someplace to live while you’re building.

You are correct, of course. A tent is just not going to do. A small camper would be nice, but we would need roads and some way to get it off the barge. We're just not there yet, but we can dream! Glad to have you along for the ride... -Ryan

@@mywildholm Planning on selling the car. It should be as untouched as possible.Trying to fix it up will probably lower the value. Originality in every detail is what they want.

Then you can do whatever you want off course, making it an adventure in itself, working on it, selfmade is great feeling, sitting there it's doomed, or make a flowerstand of it or whatever.

I have found that bear are more scared of me than I am them when I see them in the woods. I just stand still and they'll leave. I'm not sure which plant you were wondering about it looked like the start of some stinking Benjamin flowers and the other looked like princess pine to me.

Without seeing it properly obviously I’m not 100% certain what series it actually is. The hard top roof makes would age it between 1958 - 1969 series 2 or 1A after 1970 they’re series 3.. which ever it would still be classed as classic.

Much of that main cabin can be repurposed. I'd take some of those substantial boards from the cabins that are toast and build a foundation for the logs to stack up and store them on. Logs from that main cabin. Get some advice on reconditioning the good logs and killing any termites. Then build your cabin in another clearing of your choice next to your lumber storage clearing. You need a camper trailer to live in for the time being.

Interesting ideas. I have to build the cabin myself and the notion of putting together a log cabin seems quite specialized to me. I'm not sure I could pull it off. For me, there are to many unknowns and to do it properly would mean hiring a builder, which is counter to our objective of doing everything ourselves out here in this off grid wilderness. I am pretty sure I could build a conventional cabin though... so we may have no choice but to go with that. Thanks so much for watching! -Ryan

Well, if the engine isn't dragged through salt water, that Land rover is perfectly saveable... they can take quite the beating, BUT i don't know how good the spare parts situation is for an old english out there...

That is super cool!! This is a great channel and I’m only 3 videos in.😂 I wonder if maybe that old Land Rover was a parts vehicle for the other one they might have had there? Going to be interesting, listening to the story of why they left the island how long they were there in what years they lived there. Fascinating stuff. I’m bet you can get that old diesel engine running.

If and when you ever clear all those buildings, it would be interesting to metal detect around them to see what all you can find. And I thing the Green generator is fixable.

That is the best idea ever!! We hadn't even thought of using our metal detector there... Ever heard of Oak Island? 😆 you think that old generator could work again? Ryan is interested in your thoughts 😃

@@mywildholm well, if all the parts are there, diesel engines will run a million miles or more. The electric generator on the other hand may have blown seals from being exposed to rain which could have gotten in the motor and froze. And we all know how ice expands and breaks things. However, i think you have a great chance of reusing that generator. Im no mechanic but its just my 2 cents worth. Ryan will definitely have fun trying. You folks have a wonderful channel and we look forward to watching more.

At one time there might of been a sand bar from one of the main islands to your island !!! If I am thinking right doing the Depression time it would have dried on up around your island and the 1 across so they drove it over to your island!!! It is a thought !!! The generator is workable will take time to get it to working order !!! And find the parts but they can be made there on the island !!! Other thing about the Rover is air lift to your island !!!

Vehicle looks like an old 4 wheel drive "International Harvester Scout" from the early 1960's...I was an owner to one back in 1977 same exact look. Was a gem of a vehicle for winters in good ole central North Dakota. My guess this gem was driven there over the frozen ice and the island became it's final resting place. Thanks for sharing your adventures and God bless you in your endeavors...be careful and enjoy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We didn't actually know what the vehicle was but we are looking for the serial number to fund it for sure. Lots of people are calling it a series 1 Land Rover. According to one of the children of the original island owner, she said her Dad brought it over on a raft. Our conversation is on one of the first episodes in Season 1. It was wonderful to speak to her, she was so lovely. Thank you for watching 💚
