Not only does Melodi fish, but for the very first time she actually cleans it all by herself. It’s a bit disturbing to watch her try to struggle through her first experience doing all of the above.

First Fish of the Day

It was a beautiful morning, and while Ryan was busy finishing the tiny cabin, Melodi decided to go fishing. With the sun shining and the water calm, she felt optimistic about catching dinner. After a few moments, she had her first catch. With excitement, she showed off her catch, and Ryan cheered her on from the shore. It was clear that this fishing trip was off to a great start, with plans for a delicious trout dinner ahead.

Hooked Another One!

As Melodi continued fishing, she hooked another fish! The thrill of the chase was evident as she battled to reel it in. She had her gloves on, a birthday gift, and anyone who knows Melodi knows she loves her gloves! Even with some initial struggles, her determination shone through. It was a moment filled with laughter and encouragement as Ryan supported her from the shore.

Melodi Cleans Her First Fish

After catching a few fish, it was time for Melodi to learn how to clean them. She was nervous, as it was her first time, but with some encouragement from Ryan and tips from her brother-in-law, she got to work. Armed with a sharp knife, she started the process, even if it was a bit messy. She struggled but was determined to get it right. It was a learning experience that showcased her courage and willingness to embrace new skills.

Cooking Her Catch with a Secret Recipe

Once the fish were cleaned, it was time to cook! Melodi seasoned the fresh catch with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice. She used their new camp stove, which made the cooking process even more enjoyable – no cooking over a fire this time! The aroma of sautéed trout filled the air, and it was clear that this meal was going to be a highlight of their day.

The Taste Test

Finally, it was time to taste the fruits of their labor. Ryan took a bite and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. It was a delicious, hearty meal that brought them both joy. They savored the moment, knowing that the fish came straight from the lake to their table, embodying the essence of their off grid lifestyle.

Putting the Roof on the Cabin

As the day came to a close, Ryan shifted his focus back to the cabin. The day began with installing the roof joists, and then ended with laying the roof sheathing, using strong plywood for durability. He explained the importance of using quality materials to ensure the cabin would withstand the elements. The work was hard, but the satisfaction of building their homestead made it all worth it.

As we wrap up this episode, we’re reminded of the beauty of living off-grid, where each day brings new challenges and adventures. From fishing and cooking to building and creating, this lifestyle allows us to embrace nature and each other.
