Wipe those shoes clean and then we go in. Here  we are. This is home sweet home for the night!

I'm feeling pretty proud of myself.  We managed to get the fire going.

This is the current situation. It's so nice  by the fire that we put the mattresses on  

the ground right by it. Hello hello! How's  everyone doing? Welcome welcome to a new video.  

Sam and Audrey here ready to take you on  another unique stay. Yeah another road trip,  

another spring adventure here in Canada. A little  rain trickling down we have this uncanny ability  

to basically have three or four sunny days just  before our trip, and then we bring on the rain  

as soon as the trip begins. So basically for this  trip we are going to be taking you guys to a tiny  

cabin in the woods. We're driving about two hours  north of Toronto to a place called Severn Bridge  

and yeah i'm really looking forward to it. Another  rural escape like we've said before, it's not that  

hard to get away from the GTA, to get away from  the hustle and bustle and out in nature. And so  

we've intentionally chosen to take countryside  roads, so we're going gonna be going through  

farmland, through forests, through rural areas.  Most importantly not too much traffic. Yeah,  

whenever we do these getaways like I purposely try  to avoid the highway and I choose the back roads.  

Yeah, just so that we can kind of get into the  vibe you know start relaxing. Yeah, otherwise you  

just feel like you're going from one city to the  next yeah, so yeah we're intentionally choosing  

to go zigzagging all over the place and that's  gonna make it a little bit more fun. So yeah  

we're basically gonna hit the road, keep driving  north and we'll see you guys in a bit. And I also  

wanted to mention that this video is sponsored  by Babbel but more on them later so stay tuned.

It's rolling guys finally lunchtime. We've  been driving around for a while. It's been  

like two hours, we are so hungry and  we came to a place called Weber's  

um in Orillia north of Orrilia which is  really close to the cabin where we're staying  

and this is diner burgers my friends. Yeah, diner  burgers, charcoal-grilled burgers. Yeah and they  

have such a limited menu and I mean that is a  compliment so you know it's going to be good. All  

they do is burgers, hot dogs, fries, poutine and  I think that's basically it. Sodas and milkshakes,  

classic diner food. So guys, I got a triple  patty burger. I went for pure greed. As for me,  

I went for the classic cheeseburger  you can see it here. It is so juicy  

it's just perfection really it's got finely  chopped white onions, pickles, tomato, mustard.

So hungry. And that's just thing about these road  trips, is once you get away from the city and  

you're along the highway or in the countryside,  there's all of these cool roadstop type of places.  

You can go to diners coffee shops here and there  fast food places there's just whatever you're  

craving, you can find it. And the cool thing about  this place, one of the reasons i wanted to come  

is because this restaurant is actually kind of  like on a boxcar train and they have a whole  

bunch of old train carriages on rails, and like  they have a picnic area. Obviously because of the  

pandemic all of that is shut down. Like there's  no social seating or anything like that, but if  

you come here in the summertime, like this would  be such a great place to have an outdoor meal on a  

weekend picnic. I mean and you cand tell that this  place has good food because there was a lineup to  

go in and this is like totally off hours. Like  you're eating at what middle afternoon and on a  

rainy great day, on a random rainy day. And let me  show you the poutine, you can see it right here.  

Trying not to let the gravy drip. And if you  haven't had poutine, if you're not from Canada,  

and you haven't had a chance to try it, it's  french fries, cheese curd, and gravy. Perfect!

Well, we have arrived. Welcome to the owl suite!  

Now we're going to give you a  tour, so come along down the trail.

Wipe those shoes clean, somewhat, and then  we go. Okay, so welcome welcome here we are  

this is home sweet home for the night this is  actually meant to be a cabin for four people  

as you can probably tell from the bunk beds we  have over here but tonight it is just the two bus  

it is so are we going to take the bottom two then  i think so yeah and yeah i mean it's basically  

one room open space open concept what you see is  what you get right now we are in the living area  

we have two nice chairs to sit on there's a little  ottoman we also have a stove a wood burning stove  

which we desperately need to light because the  sun is going down it's starting to cool yeah it's  

beyond essential it's already cool yes right now  it's gonna be cold tonight it's gonna be cold soon  

and one thing to mention about this place is  that you have to bring your own bedding so if  

we had forgotten our sleeping bags that would not  have been fun actually i think they rent like bed  

sheets and blankets over in the main house but you  do have to pay yeah so i brought a sleeping bag  

also a warm fleece blanket and i brought a pillow  times two so we're basically all set yeah you  

can see my my set's over here yours is over there  yes oh so this one's mine i'm closest to the fire  

of course of course of course you claim that of  course of course and yeah as we showed you guys  

earlier we already bought some firewood it was  five dollars for uh like a bundle of big logs  

another five dollars for a bundle of kindling and  then the fire starters which are really just pine  

cones those are one dollar and they also had  some newspaper and they did leave a little bit  

of wood for us so like get it yeah we've got a  lot yeah but it would not have been enough for  

the whole night no we needed some no exactly and  it's cool it's just by uh it's uh the honor system  

just dropped the money in the box so we slipped  a couple fibers in there and we paid for our  

firewood sure did so now i guess we'll show  you the outside so i will grab the camera  

and samuel yes let's go on out let's go on it  guys welcome to the great outdoors welcome welcome  

out here we have trees we have the sounds of  nature and i am standing on a deck yeah yeah our  

little porch deck but yeah this is this would be a  perfect place to lounge especially imagine coming  

here in the summer when the sun doesn't set till  like close to 10 o'clock you could be out here  

catching some breeze and then as we come down here  you can see these are the steps to get up to the  

cabin and then what's really cool over here we've  got a picnic bench yeah so we can come out have a  

little snack and more importantly if we wanted to  start a fire we have the option of a fire pit yes  

and i've noticed multiple fire pits around this  entire site there are other cabins and we have  

other things to show you too we have the outhouse  and the trail and all that other good stuff  

but um we'll do that in a little while all right  we're gonna start this fire because i can barely  

feel my hands anymore they're starting to go numb  i already put on a sweater this is my wonderful  

sweater so yeah um i'm gonna do it tp style so  i got some paper newspaper just crumpled it up  

yeah and now i'm going to build a little teepee  on top of that perfect let us begin kindling  

kindling yeah the key is to have it crossing  over one another yeah and you need to have lots  

of space underneath for the fire to catch fire's  starting 101 right yeah the fire needs to breathe  

it needs to breathe fire i think a lot of people  have trouble getting it started they just they  

stack the logs on too quickly and they don't  create enough space i'm also going to throw in  

uh a pine cone they call this a fire starter i  don't know if they've treated it like it's got  

a thread like something running through it so  we're gonna go light that up also we're running  

low on matches guys we've got we've got six so  we make yeah we might wanna get another pack from  

the house count otherwise that won't be fun here  he goes match number one of six use them wisely  

oh good good job audrey get it going on  that paper watch it catch number two time  

get it from multiple places yeah put it on  the other paper now we're now we're talking  

well i'm feeling pretty proud of  myself we managed to get the fire going  

and we are not gonna let it go out i'm just  waiting for the little kindling and like the  

little branches to really really get going and  then we'll add a big log and tonight we're gonna  

have to actually wake up every few hours and feed  it because when we stayed in the mongolian yurt  

we let her go on rotation huh oh my gosh  we froze that night in the in the wee hours  

i think we go to bed at like 10 or 11 we get up at  two or three yeah and we load it again and we're  

good to go until load her up hey put that log  in put her in put her in put her in there we go

look at that that looks good  rip roaring goodness huh  

so i want to say a big thank you to this week's  video sponsor which is babel and they are the  

number one language learning app in the world  with more than 10 million active subscriptions  

worldwide and we want to talk about them  because sam has been using babble to learn  

espanol yeah i mean considering the amount of  travel we've done in south america i've never  

really taken the time to learn spanish and  there's been you know instances where we've  

met relatives and yeah i just haven't been able  to communicate with them as well as i'd like to  

i know like last time we were in argentina we went  to a few family reunions and i think sam really  

learned how much argentines like to talk because  he got to listen to a few monologues where like  

relatives were just going on and on in spanish  and he was just like kind of nodding my head  

yeah yeah it'd be nice to be able to interject  a bit with someone yes no and it'll definitely  

be useful like for other future trips we do to  south america yeah absolutely it's uh anytime  

you learn a language it's it's great activity for  your brain it also just allows you to appreciate  

a culture a lot more so how's it been going  with the app tell us a bit uh it's been going  

really well what i like about it is that it's very  interactive there's an audio and visual component  

there's some matching sequences i can follow  along with dialogues because i love the  

practicality of it yeah and well i already  speak spanish so i've just been kind of like  

sitting by watching seeing how it's going and i  have to agree like a lot of the lessons are just  

situations and scenarios that you would encounter  in everyday life right so it's stuff that you can  

just go and practice with my parents or practice  with me because it's very day-to-day spanish  

yeah and then the other thing i wanted to mention  about this app is now they have something called  

babel live so that means you can add certain  classes to your subscription or just pay for  

them as a standalone product so you can actually  be speaking with someone and have more of a like  

live in person component to your learning that's  so practical yeah so that's pretty cool so if you  

guys are also interested in language learning and  you want to try out babel right now you can buy  

six months and get six months free so we're gonna  have a special code for you here on the screen  

and also over in the description  box below so you can check that out

audrey i audrey i'm surprised you're  escaping the warmth of the fire  

oh i know i know it actually got really  nice and toasty there yeah but we've decided  

we're gonna go for a hike there's a nice little  trail on the property it's called the art trail  

also i noticed our battery is flashing red  flashing low one bar i hope you've brought  

something yeah fortunately i do have some extra  batteries in the backpack this is this is where  

the path becomes a swamp look at this guy right  yeah just as we started our journey came to hold  

there there must be another way it is it is  spring everything is melting so i don't think  

we can walk this way a tour of the outhouse since  we're on our hike and we're going past the toilet  

i know you guys have all been waiting for this  yeah the toilet time let's go check it out  

all right so before we even go in we've got hand  sanitizer i'm going to use a bed nice sink nice  

sink all right let's go in okay so the first thing  you notice is this washroom is for number one  

only oh really safe number two for the big house  oh okay we have got a typical composting toilet  

and of course toilet paper some backup stuff here  nice basic bathroom we have to use the toilet at  

night we shall go here and there's a shower that  is locked yeah that's a summer shower yeah so  

inside of the main house there are um just normal  toilets and there's also normal showers so you can  

grab a towel in there and take a shower in the  morning so that's probably what we're gonna do  

so we have found the trail we are on the forest  art walk you know what i'm starting to see why  

why the fancy name there's a little sculpture here  i have the feeling that we're gonna find lots of  

little artwork there was some there were some  inspirational messages as we were driving into  

the property oh yeah yeah when we first got here  and we were driving in it was like encouraging  

words like breathe peace joy hug love fresh air  yeah all the things you don't get in the city

all right we should try and see how many artworks  we can find the longer this is kind of cool

so sam here has been working hard to get a little  fire going for us yeah challenging because it was  

it's just so damp and windy out here but  we've got fire got a bit of a flame going

well howdy partner howdy howdy that  fire still be burning it's roaring  

i've had to kind of restart it a few times but  same with the one outside it's been uh it's just
