In this episode of our off-grid cabin build series, we face one of our toughest setbacks yet—our Argo gets completely stuck in the mud during a critical lumber haul to the cabin site. What was supposed to be a smooth trip into the backcountry turns into a full-on recovery mission deep in the Canadian wilderness.
Join us as we navigate rough terrain, failed winch attempts, and boggy muskeg trails on Crown land—all in an effort to transport essential building materials for our remote homestead.
