JIM: (whistles) North!

  • Yeah!

  • HUDSON: Yeah!

  • JIM: We're goin' in the canoe!

  • TORI: Come on, in the boat, please. Good boy! Okay, hon, ready?

JIM: We're heading back to camp with the wood we foraged.

HUDSON: Yeah!

JIM (off screen): All right, perfect! We made it through the first night no problem, but now, we wanna make the site a little more comfortable, so we'll use the wood to build some furniture, so we can make it as much like home for the kids as we can. We'll have to build a lotta things like this when we live off-grid, so it'll be good practice for all of us. Look, honey, we're home!

TORI: This is so relaxing, actually, eh?

  • JIM: Oh, I love it.

  • TORI: To have this all - set up, and--

  • JIM: I know.

TORI (off screen): Look at Wes sitting up, though, eh?

  • Sitting all the way up on his own.

  • JIM (off screen): Wow!

  • He's doin' so well.

  • TORI: Not even leaning.

JIM: Good job, Wes!

TORI: Yeah, we're talkin' about you!

JIM (off screen): You're doin' so good! Since Wesley has been diagnosed with FOXG1 syndrome, it's been reiterated to us with pediatricians, with other specialists, that bringing Wesley out into nature, exposing him to some elements, the better it will be for his development. Wesley's core muscles have really strengthened up a lot, eh, Tori?

  • TORI (off screen): Yeah, big time.

  • JIM (off screen): Yeah, just from him sittin' in the canoe, I bet,

  • and just havin' to keep stable there.

  • TORI: Look at him. Yay!

JIM: I'm gonna be makin' furniture. Should I make a table or chairs first?

  • TORI: Definitely a chair.

  • JIM: Chair? But what are you gonna sit on? Just kidding. Right now, I am building a couple chairs. I'm just taking four pieces of wood and making two triangles. One of these triangles is gonna be a seat, and the other triangle is gonna be a backrest. I've always thought it was interesting to try to make stuff for yourself, ever since I was a little kid. It's always fun to see what you can kinda make with your hands with the materials around you, as opposed to always relying on store-bought items.

TORI: Before we left home, Jim and I made a high-calorie trail food called pemmican. It's made from dehydrated berries, bison meat, and rendered animal fat. I'm adding it to a stew with some veggies. It's the perfect high-nutrition meal after a long day of hiking and foraging.

JIM: This is all just kind of practice, if you will, for, um, when we are gonna spend much more time at an off-grid cabin that hopefully we can build, maybe in the near future.

Yeah, like that. Like that. Tori... Ready for a chair? But crafted by the hand of the Man of the Wilder,

  • Jim Baird himself.

  • TORI: Whoa!

  • JIM: That's nice enough for that...

  • TORI: Plop it right there.

JIM: ...champion booty of yours or what? Huh?

TORI: Should I test it out?

  • JIM: Yeah, there you go.

  • TORI: I'm scared.

  • JIM: No, it's good!

  • TORI: Oh!

JIM: Yeah, it's, kind of, a lean-backy feel.

  • TORI: Oh, I--

  • JIM: Do you like it?

TORI: Yeah, I like this.

JIM: Look at mine, hon, huh?

  • TORI: Look at you.

  • JIM: Right? (groans) Oh, this one is great, too. That is comfy. Look at that.

  • That's chill. Good job, honey.

  • TORI: Good job!

  • JIM: Good day.

  • TORI: Crushed it.
