Life on an Off-Grid Wilderness Island.

Welcome to My Wild Holm! Ryan and Melodi here, and guess what? In the Spring of 2022, we bought a 62 acre island on a lake in the wilderness of Canada and we're building our own homestead!

Follow every step of our build as we turn our wilderness island into the off grid property of our dreams!

Things have definitely changed over the past couple of years. It's made us realize that life can 'take a turn' pretty quickly. It also made us want to build our own off grid self-sustainable life in the beautiful Canadian wilderness. Of course we know that it won't be without its challenges but that's never stopped us before!

We would love for you to join us as we escape to the backwoods. Please hit our SUBSCRIBE button and we will try to upload a new video every week.

NEW EPISODE COMING March 15th - 11am CST - We are sorry for the delay. We had a couple of challenges with travel back from the island and trying to get it all done in time and we just missed our deadline for Friday so we had to pre-schedule it for Sunday this time (we will always try to make it for Friday). We think you'll enjoy our new episode so don't forget to look for it! #mywildholm #offgrid #homestead

TIME TO VOTE! NAME our BARGE! In order to VOTE you will need to Subscribe! **VOTES not COUNTED in the comments**

Three years ago we hauled an old barge home.

Now it needs a name.

We’ve narrowed it down — and we’re letting our Subscribers decide.

Vote for your favorite name on our website and we’ll unveil the winner on our next livestream.

This name will stick. One of our Holmie's will be the one to decide.

Quick update, Holmies — no livestream tonight. We are at the hotel and the internet seems like it's been a bit sketchy for carrying on a good, connection with you all. It might be that everyone is watching the Olympic highlights online...

We wanted to let you know that we have arrived safely in the North and the day filled up fast with real-world prep. We picked up the snowmobile and just got it registered, and now we’re racing through the last round of errands before heading out.

We will be leaving here after everything is done and then next stop: the icy road to the island.

This is the start of our winter run — the part we’ve talked about for years but haven’t truly done yet. We’ll bring you along once we’re settled and safe.

Stay tuned… the adventure’s about to get real. ❄️

HELP US NAME OUR BARGE 🚤

Our barge has hauled just about everything — materials, machines, supplies and us — but it still doesn’t have a name. We have Milton, the Sawmill, Alvin the Chipper and of course Pepper our Track Loader... until now, we have hesitated to put a 'name' on our beloved barge because it's a big deal for us and kind of hard to make a final decision...

Sooo we’re turning it over to you.

How to enter:
• Drop one barge name idea per comment
• Browse the comments and 👍 like your favorites. We count likes only.

How it works:
• No Repeats - the first person to think of a name will be the one to claim it
• We only count the 'likes' - so repeat suggestions are not counted
• After a few days, we’ll take the top 5 most-liked names
• Those 5 will go into a final vote to Subscribers only
• The winning name becomes official — painted on the barge and everything

The winner gets 'bragging' rights and a My Wild Holm 'original' cap
(one of the very last 3 remaining)
Keep it fun. Keep it island-appropriate.
We can’t wait to see what you come up with.

I forgot that we have a little Birthday celebration today (Melodi's) and so we will have to postpone our livestream - back to regular time next week though. Thank you for all of your support for our channel and our community. We really really appreciate each one of you! We will be leaving for the island on Sunday! #mywildholm #homestead #offgridisland #offgridlife

To the very BEST YouTube community out there! We’re so sorry to have to cancel this week’s livestream. We were really looking forward to spending time with you all tomorrow, but it seems we’ve picked up a little “Christmas bug” with the busy days, visitors and late nights. We wish you the happiest New Year, and we’ll see you next week. Our next video will be out very soon!

🔦 NEW REVIEW!
We tested the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi Camera for use on our Remote Island Homestead — 4K quality, 180° dual-lens view, night vision, WiFi 6, smart detection, and no monthly fees.
For the price, this thing is really impressive.
