Full video 👉 16-Days Solo Camping in the Northwest Territories Wilderness - E.3 - The Mackenzie https://youtu.be/RVcV1ZZJ1ps After paddling all day into a strong headwind, I stopped to camp at the base of Bear Rock on the Mackenzie River in Canada’s Northwest Territories. A little while after making camp, the weathered cleared and I enjoyed a beautiful evening.

#offgridliving #walltent #jimbairdadventurer Building a Remote, Off-Grid Wall Tent Structure in the Woods In collaboration with @TIMBERMART, we built a 14’ x 16’ canvas wall tent structure on our remote, off-grid property in Northern Ontario — deck, roof, and all! 🏕️ Materials were sourced locally from @Fluke’s Timber Mart in Thessalon, Ontario. The tent itself is by Capital Canvas. In this video, my wife @ToriGoesOutside and I tackle a full shelter build. From gathering materials to hauling lumber by boat and constructing the structure, we cover every step with tips and lessons learned — perfect if you’re thinking about building your own off-grid tent structure. https://www.facebook.com/Timbermart.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/FlukesTimberMart/ https://capitalcanvas.ca/products/14-x-16-canvas-wall-tent ✅ What you’ll learn in this video: - Build a sturdy deck and roof for a wall tent - Plan an off-grid construction project - Make the most of limited tools and power options Other off-grid adventures: - 🎣 🛶 🥾 First Time at Our Cabin!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpamvYX1CSI - ❄️ Winter at Our Cabin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDoKsvVR-PU&t=2496s - 🏔️ Cabin Life in the Yukon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYGnyNfuCkY&list=PLdWkde9gml_-Rtne81f-iuUny1wWltjid Follow me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbadventurer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jbadventurer TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@jbadventurer Website: https://www.theadventurer.com #TIMBERMART #FlukesTIMBERMART #offgridliving #walltent #DIY #glampingtent Check out my Amazon shop here: https://www.amazon.ca/shop/jimbaird-adventurer?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_0K9WXSPJMJYHKKWCJ9C5 Buy the Complete Written Works of Jim Baird here: https://www.theadventurer.com/product-page/complete-written-works-of-jim-baird-adventurer Chapters: 0:00 What to Expect from this Video 0:51 Sourcing & Transporting Materials from Timber Mart to our Water Access Property 2:19 Tools: Power Saw, Impact Drill, Hand Saw, Level, Carpenter's Square & Hammers 2:38 Laying in pads for footings (foundation) and building the 16' wide x 20' long deck frame. 5:17 Putting on the Floor Boards (also see at 903) 5:42 Putting the 6x6 Pillars for the Roof Support in place & bracing them 7:09 Creating a frame to support the roof at the top of the 6x6 pillars 8:36 building "door" frames at front and back of structure 9:03 Extending the deck and adding footings to fit & support the rear frame & the final floor boards 10:13 Bracing the roof frame 10:41 Building pillars on top of the roof support frame to hold the ridge pole 12:20 Building, rising, & securing the ridge pole 14:32 Putting up the roof rafters & cutting the bird's mouths 17:32 Building the gabled ends 18:27 Cutting and securing the collar ties 19:13 Adding Battens (or blocks) to the roof between the rafters 19:41 Sheeting the roof 22:07 Weather Sheeting the Roof 22:35 Setting up our 14'x16' Canvas Wall Tent by Capital Canvas 24:21 Shingling the Roof 27:05 Final Thoughts on the Build

31#Northwestterritories #outdoors #jimbairdadventurer 16-Days Solo Camping in the Northwest Territories Wilderness - E.3 - the Mackenzie I was on the Keele River, NWT and only 20kms from the mighty Mackenzie River when I became windbound on a mid-river island. I had to paddle 40km per day to complete my journey on day-14 of my trip in Norman Wells, Northwest Territories, a small community on the Mackenzie River. Thankfully, I'd given myself two buffer days should I be pinned down by weather on the Mackenzie. A buffer is necessary here as the Mackenzie because is huge and strong winds and large waves can leave canoeists windbound for days on the river. The rain picked up the next morning and it was really pouring by the time I reached the Mackenzie. Paddling out onto it, its size was intimidating but I was up for the challenge. One thing that was on my side is here, in Canada's north, summer days never see darkness.
