I live on an 18 acre property of Yukon forest 75km from the Yukon's only city, Whitehorse. My home has a rustic, remote feel and great mountain country- one can plan hikes simply looking out the window at peaks up to 7000’. I am looking for a workawayer to help with digital projects, editing and uploading instructional videos, woodworking, house maintenance and wood cutting You will support the logistics of my summer work as a canoe instructor and have opportunities to improve your canoe skills and discover some rivers and lakes nearby; in other words you will get quite a variety of experiences. Most of the time can be spent in the woods; Drivers license required.

You will learn some of what the northern forest has to offer. In the forest we harvest firewood and milling logs. I am a wilderness guide and know my area very well. I would be happy to take you canoeing or skiing, depending on the season. I am good at tailoring the outing to the participants ability and to the season! I love sharing the beautiful land I am so lucky to call home.
Ayuda
If you love being in the woods doing simple physical work, I think you will enjoy woodcutting with me. I operate the chainsaw then the fun begins! Stacking, packing, splitting, burning brush (in winter), pulling the wood to the house on toboggans, making trails. Your woodworking and maintenance skills will be put to great use in a wide variety of projects. There is a heated workshop. Canoe outfitting in summer. Video editing.

Alojamiento
Private room in log home heated by wood cookstove. Another option is a tiny house on the property. The home has running water and a shower, but no toilet! This is to say that it has a grey water system but no septic. There is an outhouse - another Yukon cultural experience. There is wifi and cell service. The wood cookstove is the heart of the house as it provides heat and stovetop cooking and an oven. The wood you cut cooks your food!
Algo más...
This site would be suited to people who wish a break from the city to spend some time in the woods. At times we will be working together however you will be on your own as much as half the time.
Ideally you want to spend your days off canoeing or hiking or skiing as that is where I can offer you something quite special. You could also enjoy some of the arts and culture of Yukons thriving capital, Whitehorse.

Staying at Jane's was a great introduction to Yukon. She taught me how to use chainsaws and axes to cut wood, something I am very glad I learned. We also went canoeing three times and she was a very good instructor, as she is herself a guide. Another project was building a wooden box for her canoe trailer. She and her fantastic friend Bob even… read more

Basile spent 2 weeks working on projects such as taking down a winter camp and building a box for a canoe trailer and dismantling an old shed. It was fun alternating language days: one day we spoke French the next day English. Helped us both improve although his English is excellent. All the best for your road trip Basile!
