Instagram post 17846420779649168 I was in a full circle kind of mood. Went for a walk through the forest, to a place I love by the ocean, where the sun hits large black rocks and I lay there like a lizard before jumping into the September sea. Then, across the cove I first heard, then saw, people. One large, one small. Two friends. One my age, 40s. One child, 4. We hung out, gathered driftwood, played games, and after time, I started to gather up to make my way home. "I'll see you later. Sweet dreams!" I said. The little one looked up and replied "I'm having a dream right now". And that surely changed the flavour of the air. . . . . #forestlife #forestspirits #wearewildness #getoutside #offgridlife #autumn #cabinlove #cabinfolk #inthewoods #offthebeatenpath #psychedelic #microdose #flowstate

Instagram post 18068034571189153 Frogs out in full force these days. ✨🐸✨ All these photos are of my great friends, the Pacific Chorus tree frog. Bright green in most cases, they've a chameleon thing going on too, as they can change colour according to the surface they're on. First image is a tree frog on parsley, second image on an Alder tree, and third image on a brown drain pipe. The other photos are a few more of the crew. . . . . #frogs #amphibians #amphibianlove #sapo #kambo #frogmedicine #forestlife #forestspirits

Instagram post 18091538935014470 My love @laurasolarnova has been making the most beautiful, bubbly, bountiful, refreshing, awesome and delicious water kefir this summer! Just amazingly good and infused with some of the best fruit on the planet. Wild salmonberries, huckleberries, salal berries, blackberries, local blueberries, plums, apples and lemons have all made appearances as their seasons burst forth. Honestly some of the best beverages I've ever had. ✨💥✨ I wonder what wonderful fruit will jump in next? 🥒 If you're anywhere near Lasqueti island on a Saturday, I highly recommend flying, boating or swimming over to the market and trying one yourself ⚡️ .

Instagram post 17843539096570934 Summer madness. 360 degrees in the shade. Clean water, solar power, fruit, vegetables and flowers. Got a meeting with the ocean about once every hour. I know a mermaid who likes to swim way out to see. . . . . #oceanspirits #salishsea #getoutside #explorebc #greatnorthcollective #offgridlife #forestlife #wearewildness #pnwwonderland #islandvibes #mermaid

Instagram post 17860675558427851 This past week has been some kinda Off Grid Island Vibes Ironman. 💪🏻🏝Started out with a warmup, carrying driftwood logs up a big hill, peppered with swigs of home brewed beer and homegrown smoke. Then gathering fir cones for good medicine. Then a morning water mission carrying a carboy of water up and down hills for about an hour. Then playing hide and seek with a four year old magic little elf. Then bike uphill to take in recycling. Fast downhill back, then a 20 minute swim in the cold ocean. Then a morning medicine mission to gather nettle root from big 6' tall nettles. As careful as I was, I got massively stung all over my arms and upper body. Was ablaze & crazed for 24 hours. Then up at 4:30am to catch the ferry for a city mission -- 20 min bike ride up a forest path, stashed my bike and walked 30 min, hitchhiked for the last stretch, then a 1hr ferry ride. High speed rush all day in the urban to gather supplies: a folding table, a 5 gallon bucket full of kitchen things, two boxes and a large backpack full of food. Plus a prayer I'd find a ride back home off the ferry. Hauled all that on and off the ferry. The gods answered prayers. Got a ride, dropped most of it off at the new cabin. Carried the food 40 min to the previous cabin for cold storage. Then, up early to start moving. Another water mission. Then carry all our gear down a rocky hill into a friend's van. Drive up island to get propane, which is only open 1 day a week, for a few hours. Drive back down and unload. Go back to drop the van off. Jump in a pond and swim for 30min. Then more home brew beer and homegrown smoke. Walk through the forest to the new cabin. Pack up and get ready for the market. Up at 5:30am, then off to set up our market table at 9am. Get back home, unpack our stuff and set up the cabin. Then, after all this and so much more ⚡️⚡️⚡️ a super fantastic beach party with a big bunch of friends of all ages, a big spread of food of all flavours, music flowing from guitars and mbira, a warm ocean and the hot hot sun slowly melting into horizon. 🏝🎉🎁 Takes a ton o' heavy lifting and sweaty hustle to reach the beach sometimes but it's worth it in so many ways. #whatsyourbeach?
Instagram post 18045178366190967 Gathered several pounds of young Fir cones last evening. All from one tree and just the branches I could reach while balanced on boulders on the shoreline. Many of the cones are a wee bit mature, but still oozing with potent, sticky, resinous goodness. We'll boil these over a few days, in a process of boiling, simmering, cooling and reducing the liquid down, until it turns into a delicious and powerful medicinal syrup. We'll add a bit of good sugar to sweeten things up, and preserve the batch for use throughout the year. Even with several pounds we'll only get a few jars. While young conifer cones can be abundant, actually reaching them is the challenge, as they'll often be way too high to get. Of the thousands of conifers I encounter daily, I only found one tree with two loaded branches within reach. The resulting syrup is a lively and wonderful immune, respiratory, bronchial medicine, great for cold, damp climates, or just for when ya need a taste of the trees. . . . . #wildfood #wildmedicine #rewild #keepitwild #wildfoodlove #plants #edibleplants #eattheweeds #plantmedicine #forests #forestlife #forestspirits #getoutside #herbalism #wildernessculture #pnwwonderland #ratherhuntgather #wildfed #tree_magic #douglasfir
