   Furthermost Outpost - Season 2 Trailer

   Living in the middle of nowhere is remarkably peaceful, provided nothing needs fixing, feeding, hauling, heating, or paying for. We’ll let you know if that day ever arrives. We’re Jennifer and Arön Toland, coming to you from our remote home and wilderness resort at Eliguk Lake, British Columbia. This short trailer gives you a first listen to our Season 2 introduction. The full episodes begin in November. This season on Furthermost Outpost, we’re getting into the logistics of thriving out here: keeping everything working, making supplies last, and discovering what another year of off-grid life has added to the list. We’ll talk about what it costs to keep the place running, from fuel and repairs to equipment that develops expensive opinions of its own. Hauling supplies home takes planning, patience, and occasionally more than one mode of transport. “We’ll just pop into town” remains an excellent joke. Then there’s hosting guests from around the world. We’ll share what goes into welcoming people to a place this remote, feeding them well, and helping them experience the wilderness we call home. Everybody arrives with a different story. The logistics of getting them here can supply a few more. We’ll also talk about our experience filming Mountain Men: Wild North VS the original U.S. Mountain Men, welcoming a film crew into our lives, and making television around the work of actually living here. The chores have shown very little interest in a shooting schedule. There’ll be foraging, growing, cooking, preserving, and finding new ways to stock and store our food caches for the long months ahead. There’s considerable satisfaction in knowing where your dinner came from, especially when it didn’t need its own freight budget. We’ll share the ideas, the work, and what we’re learning along the way. And through all of it, we’re trying to keep a marriage flourishing. A sense of humour comes in handy when you live and work together, particularly when you both remember the same event differently. Expect some marital banter. Any discrepancies in our recollections will be delivered with complete confidence. We’ve lined up some amazing guests for this season, too, bringing fresh voices, different experiences, and plenty more to talk about. It should give Arön and I an opportunity to practise letting someone else finish a sentence. There’s hard work in this life, and plenty of planning, but there are also the people who find their way here, the meals worth sitting down for, and the quiet evenings that make us remember why we chose it. New to Furthermost Outpost? Season 1 is ready whenever you are. Follow the podcast and catch up before Season 2 arrives in November. We’ve had plenty to talk about. Now we just have to sit down long enough to record it.

   What Off-Grid Living Really Does To You...

   For the Season Finale, Episode 21, we figured we’d do something a little different—and probably slightly questionable. We pulled together a list of completely random questions and asked them to each other… seeing them for the first time in real time. No prep, no strategy, just whatever comes out. We hope you appreciate the real, and the raw that is us. Somewhere between the laughs and the side comments, it actually turned into a pretty honest look at how much off-grid living has changed us. From dealing with unpredictable winter weather (and way too much snow) to the day-to-day reality of running a life and business in a remote wilderness setting, you start to realize pretty quickly that this lifestyle doesn’t just change what you do—it changes how you think. There’s a mix of humor, a bit of blunt honesty, and those moments where you catch yourself admitting something you probably wouldn’t have said if you had time to think about it first. That’s kind of the point of this one. It’s less polished, more real, and a good snapshot of what this life actually looks like behind the scenes. And before we wrap the season, we want to say thank you—to everyone who’s been listening, subscribing, and leaving comments. We read them, we appreciate them, and they genuinely keep this whole thing going. We’ll be back with Season 2 in Fall 2026.

   Remote Fishing Resort Life: When Spring Bites Back

   Spring is slowly waking up the wilderness at FurthermostOutpost, and Episode 20 of the Furthermost Outpost Podcast drops listeners right into the middle of that transition. After a long northern winter, Aron and Jen are navigating the unpredictable early days of spring at their remotewilderness fishing lodge, where minus-20 nights can still happen, trails are buried in ice and fallen trees, and every day brings a new challenge. As always, they manage to laugh their way through it all, sharing the kind of real-life wilderness stories that make remote living both chaotic andunforgettable. Running an off-grid wilderness resort in remote Canadameans spring isn’t just about warmer weather—it’s the start of a massive seasonal reset. Aron and Jen talk about the reality of opening a remote fishing lodge after winter, from rebuilding docks and preparing barges to keeping boatsrunning reliably when the nearest help is a long way away. Along the way they share the behind-the-scenes work that goes into preparing for fishing season, managing supplies, organizing freezers and meal plans for guests, and gettingthe lodge ready for another year of wilderness adventure tourism.

From managing curious wildlife around camp to dealing with the occasional chaosnature brings, Aron and Jen share both practical wilderness management insight and the funny moments that inevitably come with living so close to nature. Throughout the conversation, the couple reflects on therhythm of wilderness living—balancing maintenance, guest preparation, wildlife management, and seasonal challenges while still appreciating the beauty of the backcountry. They talk about the excitement of opening camp again, theanticipation of the upcoming fishing season, and the simple rewards of remote outdoor life, like loons calling across the lake at night. Of course, they also acknowledge one of the most predictable parts of northern spring: mosquitoseason is never far behind. Blending practical knowledge about wilderness resortoperations with personal stories from life off-grid, this episode offers an authentic look at what it really takes to run a remote fishing lodge in the Canadian wilderness. And true to form for the Furthermost Outpost Podcast, Aron and Jen keep things lighthearted throughout—finding humor in broken docks, icy trails, wildlife surprises, and the many unpredictable moments that come withliving and working deep in the backcountry.
