Jennifer and Aron welcome Dan and Chris to the Furthermost Outpost for a lively, wide‑ranging conversation rooted deep in the wilds of Eliguk Lake.

With Dan’s family history tied to the founding of Eliguk Lake Lodge—later purchased by the Tolands—the group dives into stories shaped by generations on the land: hidden lake secrets, unforgettable fishing tales, close encounters with grizzlies and wolves, and the delicate balance of wildlife management and conservation. They reflect on the Tolands’ brush with reality TV, shifting community leadership, and the personal connections that define life far from the grid.

Nostalgia flows through memories of old stoves, childhood exploration, and the changing economic landscape—from precast concrete to mill closures and the ongoing need for fire‑smart forestry.

Jennifer opens up about the pressure of being known as a “wilderness woman,” challenging expectations and proving her resilience year after year. With Chris and Dan sharing stories from their nearby cabins, this episode paints a rich portrait of friendship, family legacy, and the grit required to thrive in the remote North.

It’s a heartfelt reflection meant to inspire anyone walking their own path of change and renewal.

An exciting interview with field producer Christopher Brewster on the horizon, the hosts unpack the power of editing, a behind-the-scenes look from their filming on History Channel's 'Mountain Men' show, storytelling, and the importance of staying connected with their audience. It’s an unscripted, honest look at life on the edge of the wild—and the intentions they’re setting, starting with a clean slate for the year ahead.

Winter at the Furthermost Outpost isn’t just cold — it’s a full‑time character in Jennifer and Arön's lives, complete with mood swings, plot twists, and the occasional attempt to bury their cabin in snow. In this laugh‑laced episode, the duo shares what it really takes to survive and stay sane when your nearest neighbor is a snowdrift and your daily commute involves a snow machine with strong opinions.

They dive into the art of prepping for months of isolation, managing solar power when the sun is basically on vacation, and keeping machines alive with the right oil, a lot of maintenance, and the occasional pep talk. You’ll hear about hauling supplies through deep snow, why winter is the best time to move fragile gear (nature’s bubble wrap), and how a winch can instantly turn you from “stranded” to “legend.”

But it’s not all survival mode — there’s plenty of joy woven through the frostbite. From ice fishing victories to hot‑tub therapy under a star‑stuffed sky, Jennifer and Arön celebrate the small luxuries that make winter magical. Their pets prove they’re tougher than the humans, their hobbies keep cabin fever at bay, and their neighbors — though miles apart — show up in the ways that matter most.

They also get real about the emotional side of remote living: staying mentally steady, keeping routines alive, and embracing the kind of solitude that teaches you who you are (and how many days in a row you can eat comfort food without shame). Their stories of mishaps, triumphs, and trail etiquette gone wrong paint a vivid, hilarious picture of life where every challenge becomes an adventure.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to thrive at the edge of the map — with creativity, resilience, and a healthy dose of humor — this episode will pull you in and warm you up faster than a wood stove on overdrive.

What does it take to turn a crumbling wilderness lodge into a thriving retreat? In this episode, Jennifer and Aron Toland open up about their extraordinary journey of breathing new life into a forgotten property deep in the wild. From dismantling a lodge that was barely standing to painstakingly renovating cabins, their story is equal parts grit, vision, and sheer determination.

They share how teamwork carried them through setbacks—including a serious injury that could have derailed everything—and how building a greenhouse became a symbol of their commitment to self-sustainability. It’s a raw, inspiring look at perseverance, adaptation, and the pursuit of a dream.

And when you think the adventure couldn’t get more exciting, they drop a surprise announcement: an upcoming guest interview from the hit series Mountain Men. The date isn’t set yet, but the anticipation is already building.

"I am Storm — sentinel of the fishing resort, guardian of the treeline, interpreter of wind and musk. Ten winters I’ve walked this land, my pawprints sunk deep into snow, my voice echoing against the frozen lake. I read the forest like scripture: foxes creeping, wolves singing, ravens waiting for scraps. My sons, River and Tundra, follow me — fire and stone — learning that territory is not just land, but love, devotion, and survival.

Here, every patrol is a promise. Every bark is a vow. I guard the coop, the cabin, the moose leg in the woodshed, and above all, her — the one whose glance melts the frost in my chest.

Come walk beside me. Hear the forest through my eyes, feel the wilderness through my paws. This is not just a story of a dog — it is the voice of the land itself."

Play now, and let Storm guide you into the wild.

A bedtime story for all ages. (Best played with headphones/earpods for the whole ambient experience).

Life on the edge of the wild isn’t just breathtaking — it’s unpredictable. In this episode of Furthermost Outpost, Jennifer and Aron Toland tackle the growing grizzly bear crisis in British Columbia, blending urgent conservation issues with unforgettable stories from their own backyard.

They explore how hunting bans, shifting bear behavior, and rising human‑wildlife conflicts are reshaping communities and ecosystems across the province.

Whether you’re fascinated by wilderness survival, passionate about conservation, or love a good campfire story, this episode offers a rare mix of insight and adventure.
