years and yeah i feel like he is uh he's been  longing for this vacation more than any of us  

you know what the last cottage sea  we did was actually february 2020  

yeah like a month before ianawa started exactly  so this is one time the thing that he loves the  

most is just being able to be off leash  yeah and to be roaming he is the leader  

of the wolf pack he has to go in front look he's  in the front he's in there always in the front  

all this in the front but um yeah it's great yeah  baby's having a good time yes we're all loving it

wilderness and uh we're just having a  fantastic time i like being out in nature

we're gonna have during our four days here a  chimney a chimney bbq and asano in the chimney  

why explain to us why how this came to be why  not why not why not i came prepared because i  

brought my little uh your grill my little grill is  raining outside i was planning to barbecue outside  

and i was planning to barbecue with wood we  have beautiful sirloin steaks huge pork chops  

and it's a crime to do this for an argentinian  it's a crime to do it in a gas barbecue yeah  

you lose your passport you lose your citizenship  is that serious okay i've heard stories of people  

going to jail yeah for using i guess barbecue so  we are the masters of uh cooking with the wood  

right this is the setup there we go we're  waiting for the the ambers check that out  

huh the steaks hot italian sausages  okay look at those sulaki pork chops  

look at the width of those pork chops  i know they're already pre-seasoned  

yeah and then of course we have chimichurri  homemade chimichurri yeah there you have it and  

we are wetting uh the whistle with the chili and  syrah let's top it up the grill master always  

have to be hydrated okay otherwise you'll end up  with a really bad assado yeah and this is not good  

yeah it's a grumpy as long as they as long as  hydration in the form of grape come in the asado  

is going to be a success oh oh who's interested  who's interested okay chips yes wine now

what's up sam making pizza pizza pizza pie pizza  your favorite food you're a bit of a pro at this  

i would imagine better at eating than making  it it's been a little while but the thing is  

once you've got the dough  spread out put on a good sauce  

you can chop up some good ingredients that's  what it's all about what's all about he says

oh bundled up guys here we are  

it is our final morning here time to go  back to the city oh what a pity we're

of country living yeah i mean it's fantastic it  makes me realize you know this would be an ideal  

setup for us in the future to be out in a rural  area to be living in nature in the woods yes we  

definitely feel most at home when we're in this  type of environment yeah and yeah just overall  

a great time we got to spend time with everybody  we ate so well so well that i'm actually fasting  

today yeah nobody wanted breakfast today it was  just like uh let's pack up and go yeah overall  

a great time a great trip and i hope this is  something that we can continue into the future  

this is just a great uh annual tradition and  if you're thinking of doing something like this  

there's strength in numbers the more adults  you can have contributing it really reduces  

the cost this only costs about fifty dollars per  person per night canadian per night yeah so very  

reasonably priced we did all of our cooking  here and you know who enjoyed it most yeah

so going back to the logistics a little bit  we just um we each plan to do different meals  

for example i cook pizzas and uh we all took  turns washing dishes cleaning up and that's  

how you do it with a big group that's how  you do come up with a schedule come up with  

the schedule come up with the meal plan and  then enjoy everything together yeah so so  

we hope you guys enjoyed this little getaway  um don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you  

again with our regular programming whatever  that is yeah indeed tata guys ciao for now

you
