  • relaxing and enjoying in fact i've got craft beer in the freezer right now

  • yeah and sam's already had a one-hour nap on her hammock

  • outside that hammock after after going for an excursion this afternoon in the

  • heat yeah i needed some shade i needed a

  • little swing back and forth and that came in handy he got the swing

  • back oh yeah oh yeah all right well mini living area

  • over here we've got a nice little sofa sheepskin an ottoman yeah a fan

  • which i think will probably come in very you want to turn it on i'll show how it

  • works it turns on from the back inside of here

  • feels good guys at the moment it's a tad bit stuffy inside would you agree

  • yeah we've got the windows open i really think things will cool down later

  • on but it's just like the middle of the afternoon

  • peak of summer wave so we also have stools

  • yeah we've got two stools kind of like a little bar

  • area for i don't know the odd snack breakfast in the morning

  • yeah we'll be showing what we've got a little later yeah we got some

  • special chips chips ketchup chips some cereal for breakfast

  • did you know that ketchup chips originated in canada i did

  • okay i did know that did you know that before you researched it

  • no i did i've known that even though yes oh okay yes

  • i actually i had to look it up what were canadian snacks and junk food

  • and uh i was surprised to find out ketchup chips were amongst the

  • things that were invented in canada there you go something to be proud of

  • so this is our little eating area basically and if we open the curtains

  • we've got the house the main house this is

  • where the owners live so there's live over there got hammock

  • rivers down there yeah yeah so we're just keeping it closed for now you know

  • a little bit of space between us yes what else we've got a flashlight

  • in case we need to go out in the middle of the

  • night to use yeah i guess if we wanted to go to the dock

  • for some reason it works and now we will take you outside so we showed

  • you the inside which is small and the outside is a little bit even

  • more spacious the first thing i love is the happy camper sign are you a happy

  • camper samuel today i am yes because i got my rest on

  • the hammock had i not got that rest maybe not a

  • happy cat or maybe a grumpy camper okay well let's be thankful for that the

  • thing i love about this place is that it's got a deck

  • surrounding the entire area this is going to be our barbecue grill

  • for the night so one of the super easy ones to use

  • spark it turn it on and we barely have anything to cook so

  • we have literally have two skewers yeah that shouldn't take very long at all

  • no we're not we're not attempting to uh a grill master your dad or anything

  • that's for sure so as we come along here the deck

  • continues and don't mind the wind because it is a

  • little bit windy and this is where i think we're going to

  • have our beers very soon we've got a couple of uh lawn chairs

  • which are super comfortable and if you come over here

  • we've got the woodshed

  • okay shall we we shall we shall okay removes the bungee cord

  • first all right sam's already been here oh you

  • haven't been inside yet wow wow you're in for a surprise

  • come on in come on in don't bump yourself

  • well okay so we have artwork covering one window then we can see

  • straight down to the water yes i believe this is called a medical

  • commode okay um so basically well sam's already

  • used it so i'm not gonna lift the lid yeah we don't

  • we don't need to see what's in there you lift the lid you go to the toilet

  • yeah um they've put a bag in there so yes they're gonna tie the bag and

  • yeah and then that's the lid for it the lid okay right you didn't put the lid

  • back on no that's for when they did that's when

  • they deal with it later okay sure look there's more artwork more art

  • in case you you need inspiration in the bathroom okay which

  • is nice toilet paper yeah we have um wet wipes hand sanitizer

  • yeah a very thoughtful station with more candles

  • yes because you know you can never get enough candles and more

  • garbage bags in case this one fills up with

  • number one and two oh my gosh i've never no no no no plans for us to to make that

  • happen too no too so yeah that is it it's

  • maybe the most unique outhouse flash yeah

  • bathroom there are no curtains anywhere but in the little booklet it said that

  • they've tested out the toilet from different angles and that no one can

  • actually see you here so you can enjoy the view maybe a fox

  • and maybe a fox maybe maybe a record we can

  • handle a fox or a reckon seeing a summer toilet

  • but enough about outhouses let's travel back in time to new brunswick in the

  • 1800s so as we already mentioned earlier that

  • day we visited king's landing and no this has nothing to do with game of

  • thrones king's landing is a living open air museum where you can walk through a

  • village and experience what life was like in rural new brunswick back in the

  • 1800s the best part really is chatting with

  • the villagers because they are interpreting real stories from the past

  • and they will not break character over the course of our visit we met the local

  • choir practicing ahead of the church service

  • we learned some of the town gossip while visiting the blacksmith in his workshop

  • and we bought some hard candies from the local store but we'll get to all of that

  • first up we need to hop on a wagon and hitch a ride into town

  • this is so refreshing oh it's like ice water

  • let me have a bird back here it's probably no surprise that our first

  • stop in the village was the king's head in restaurant

  • it was lunchtime and we were hungry we ordered two sweet lemonades that were oh

  • so refreshing a delicious order of fish and chips with

  • coleslaw and tartar sauce a side of giant onion rings and a

  • gingerbread cake with cream for dessert just a very timely ice cold

  • oh much needed in this heat with ice cubes

  • it's nice and sweet and tart that's the most refreshing thing in the world

  • fish and chips have arrived they look

  • amazing portions are super generous

  • that was it looks so good don't get in the tata

  • oh i can hear that i can hear the crispiness of it

  • how's that mm-hmm

  • perfectly fish and chips are uh an institution out here

  • in the maritimes

  • oh yeah these are super crispy big big slices of onion yeah these are awesome

  • just finished lunch how was it it was a feast of feasts

  • that was very good yeah it was delicious but to be honest on a day like today

  • would have been better maybe to go with one of their salads i'd say

  • yeah just love the fish and chips the onion rings were gigantic

  • nice dessert and maybe best of all was the

  • the ice cold lemonade that was so needed yeah everything we ordered was about 30

  • total yeah great prices were really really big

  • yeah like honestly you could probably split a fish and chips with someone if

  • you got two pieces like we did you could get a single piece but for a couple

  • bucks more you add a second piece of fish

  • so now we're gonna go walk around the village a little bit

  • and see what we find we've got our little map in hand so we're all set

  • then it was time to explore king's landing how it works is that you get a

  • map at the entrance with the layout of the village

  • and then you have the freedom to explore at your own pace going in and out of the

  • different buildings and meeting the various characters going on about their

  • day we visited some of the homes set along

  • the riverfront so we could enjoy the cool breeze

  • here we came across some of the local villagers who were fishing

  • doing laundry and having a mid-afternoon chat and we

  • eventually reached the local store where we bought some old-fashioned hard

  • candies

  • so we just did a little shopping at grant's store

  • got some candy some old-fashioned liquors guys

  • my family is we're all licorice addicts yeah

  • you really are my dad i mean audrey likes it the most oh my gosh i think

  • it's the worst thing in the world i got myself a little licorice pipe and

  • best of all for some vintage candy dad's

  • old-fashioned root beer and what did i get is mine still in

  • there a candy cane candy cane strawberry kiwi

  • oh

  • hallelujah away

  • we then rode the wagon to the local grist mill which grinds greens into

  • flour and millet we also visited the sawmill where we met

  • a friendly gentleman who invited us to try our hand

  • at being lumberjacks see who's the best well you could i pull you don't push

  • into it you pull into it

  • well that is a good job

  • and that was our visit to king's landing this is a really fun place to spend the

  • day if you find yourself in the fredericton area and we'd highly

  • recommend visiting but now let's get back to the tiny house

  • it is now craft beer o'clock it sure is and we're going to be trying

  • uh another local product super local fredericton local and we've got maybes

  • workhorse ipa seven percent so it is a strong ale

  • a hard-working canadian ipa with you for the long haul

  • unfiltered unpasteurized

  • there's nothing more refreshing than a good ice cold beer

  • on a hot summer's day for me right now a little slice of paradise

  • there we go you got a special one i did cheers to you blueberry side let's

  • do a proper cheers i wonder if it's going to be blue is it

  • blue yeah another new brunswick product that's kind of pink i know they go i

  • don't think i've had ketchup chips since high school maybe like it's been a long

  • time party in high school it's been a long time for me too

  • but these are so good in the kettle form like i would i would go to my way to

  • have this again these are that good would recommend we

  • recommend

  • grill master what can you tell us we've got the souvlaki going

  • all right it's super easy to light it's just

  • the initial stages got it on low heat i'm gonna cook it nice and slow

  • i mean this is all we've got for dinner so we gotta enjoy it right we've been

  • eating like little piggies and you know it i know and we've still

  • we still have uh ketchup chips there you go we're gonna start

  • but so that's dinner tonight that's dinner tonight voila

  • voila i hope we cooked it thoroughly enough yeah

  • i think we did we decided to cook it at a really low heat slowly over time beef

  • soup lucky yeah i'm gonna try a piece of beef first

  • mine's very juicy mmm i love it super tasty

  • all right we did well done we're done but yeah

  • this is a great barbecue food and um i get it again

  • yeah i think we're gonna enjoy this and then head down to the water

  • yeah sounds good

  • i have to say my absolute favorite aspect of this tiny house

  • was its location right on the water we were treated to a magical display of

  • soft pastels as the sun set and it was so relaxing to just sit there and soak

  • it all in

  • well the sun has gone down and we have beautiful pink skies we've been chilling

  • like villains here for what 45 minutes at least

  • yeah what time is it now it's uh it's past nine

  • sundown would have been 850. we've been here for at least

  • 45 minutes this is summer in canada we've still got daylight 9 p.m

  • i remember our first attempt to come um maybe an hour and a half ago

  • it was way too hot yeah it's way too hot we had like the blaring sun on it

  • we sat under a tree for a while now now is paradise this is like

  • the perfect weather it's almost a little brisk like you almost are thinking about

  • like should i put on a light jacket but you still don't want to

  • i'm laughing because he said paradise and it makes me think

  • of katy perry oh my gosh

  • sam likes katy perry no i don't actually obviously you do that

  • carried out it's peridice harry dice

  • no but it's really nice it has cooled down tremendously

  • yeah it's stinging what a difference it's like summer in canada when the sun

  • goes down it's like yeah there's a really big difference in

  • temperature it's not like when we were in southeast asia where the

  • temperature would shift by just a degree or two it's substantial

  • substantially this is probably like mid to low 20s now and it's dropping it'll

  • probably drop to the high teens tonight oh just

  • loving it here this is maybe the most relaxing evening we've

  • had in a couple months like i just don't want

  • to get up i'm still enjoying this yeah we've

  • literally just sat here just sitting here

  • chit-chatting and enjoying the view

  • i just keep thinking like does this get old do these views get old for the

  • people who live here they don't because every sunset is

  • different right you get different cloud formations

  • different different things to look forward to in the sky

  • and also i mean here here you would get four distinct seasons so

  • i mean summer's brief and then you have autumn colors to look forward to and

  • then plenty of snow in the winter so yeah

  • yeah this has been nice

  • well good morning guys morning guys i'll put bright and early

  • because somebody was super excited to wake up and

  • start the day i'm ready to see us today it's just such a beautiful part of new

  • brunswick i want to get up have a good breakfast and get

  • going we've got some hiking to do and yes yeah i'm excited for all of it and

  • right now we're having a little breakfast

  • here on the picnic table by the lake check it out guys

  • so the the best feature about this all right is our friends

  • gary's berries oh blueberries yeah our family friend gary grows organic fruits

  • and vegetables and he brought over blueberries the

  • other day they are delicious they're yeah it's like next

  • level it's like how could you go back to regular blueberries

  • they're having these they're just so plump and delicious

  • yeah so we're having some cereal some granola cashew with almonds

  • and greek yogurt and blueberries that is breakfast here today

  • by the water gotta say i'm pretty happy with it

  • we're just trying to be really quiet because

  • there's a whole bunch of homes and cottages here on the water

  • we're kind of like in a little inlet it's like completely

  • silent completely still yeah i feel like everyone is still sleeping except for us

  • because of this guy another bird anyways um what i've also noticed too is

  • yesterday it was super windy and today it's as cold as can be the

  • wind really picked up in the afternoon several times

  • and basically the water looks like a lake today if you were to go out

  • it would be it'd be like like being out on the lake but if you come here for a

  • bit longer maybe two three days there's a canoe available the water was

  • so nice yesterday to go for a swim got my feet in the water yeah this is

  • the right temperature huh yeah it's like lukewarm again because

  • they are in this little inlet like the water really

  • it does warm up it's not freezing it's not what you'd expect from a canadian

  • body yeah there's more more of a climate of a lake here

  • yeah than a river yeah but it is a river the same children

  • so a little change of plans we had noticed on google maps that we were near

  • a place called woolistock park so we were planning to go hiking there

  • but then when we got there we realized it's actually like

  • an rv and camper park it's just like people

  • parking their vehicles and like there's a little beach area but it's private

  • like you need to be staying there so yeah we didn't know where to go and then

  • we remembered odell park that's actually in fredericton it's in the city but you

  • kind of feel like you're in the middle of the forest

  • and it's just really nice really peaceful lots of different walking

  • trails so yeah we're gonna take you for a

  • little hike here it's especially nice in the morning and in the late evenings

  • so sam would you say this is your favorite place to go running in the city

  • it's funny because it took me over 10 years to figure this out

  • i used to actually go running more along the river and this is definitely my

  • favorite spot it takes about 15 or 20 minutes to reach here from where my

  • parents live once you're out here it's a slice of

  • paradise like i just love it here i end up usually doing three or four

  • different loops what's your favorite thing about it just

  • being on the forest breathing the fresh air the lack of people sounds of

  • nature so while we're in the woods i thought we

  • could answer a question that came up a lot in the last video

  • a few people seemed concerned that we were quarantining in new brunswick like

  • why are you guys okay what happened perfectly fine we're

  • healthy we haven't had the virus but um the atlantic provinces here in

  • canada are being extra precautious so anyone

  • entering the province even from within canada like from

  • another canadian province you still have to quarantine for 14 days

  • yeah so that's the reason and when i and when i entered

  • you could only be coming into the province if you were visiting immediate

  • family yes i'm not sure that may have changed

  • maybe anyone can come and visit now for 14 days but you do have to quarantine

  • yeah and they do take it seriously they uh we were

  • we were called by the uh government official to make sure that we were

  • actually in our designated area yeah and we had

  • to answer questions like about symptoms how we're feeling

  • yeah did we come straight home from the airport did we make any stops encounter

  • anyone right so yeah but the one the one

  • positive of that is that the province has a very

  • low amount of cases oh yeah yeah especially compared to other parts

  • of canada so um yeah it wasn't fun but that ended a

  • while ago so now we're out tonight we're free

  • enjoying nature yes again happy and healthy yes

  • well guys that was our little getaway that's a wrap here from odell park here

  • at fredericton yeah i mean we sure made the most of

  • just under 24 hours didn't we yeah going to one night

  • yeah one night there going to king's landing i mean it was a lot of fun oh

  • one thing to mention about king's landing they have special dinners for

  • thanksgiving for christmas so if you want to have a festive meal

  • and kind of get to experience what life was like 200 years ago

  • head on over i don't know about you but my favorite part was

  • riding on the wagon i love that that was a lot of fun

  • and also just like meeting all the different characters because

  • they stay true to their role they do not break character and like they're talking

  • to you like it's the 1800s talking about the

  • town gossip and about the church service

  • starting yeah and they did they were walking over for

  • the service yeah it's really fun like they're living there

  • yeah that's so true and i thought the property we stayed at

  • was just cute and cozy just a great place to a great location

  • yeah i loved how there was a like they had built up the the dock

  • enough that you could go out there and there was a picnic benches and uh

  • yeah if we had a bit more time we probably would have gone canoeing

  • yeah it was just so windy yesterday we really couldn't

  • yeah we had more time this morning but hey we're back in the city now

  • and we've got another trip planned for you coming up in just a few more days

  • this is going to be a family trip family trip to grand manan so going with

  • my parents and family friends actually uh the the person who we gave
