Beschreibung
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 woodworking, house maintenance, wood cutting and dog care. 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.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
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. My dear Yukon husky dogs are my constant companions on all outings and around the home so if you love dogs they will love you back!
Arbeit
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.

Unterkunft
Private room in log home heated by wood cookstove. 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 internet and a land line phone but no 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!
Was noch ...
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 ( with the dogs!) 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.

Ty spent one month at my Yukon home in the woods. It happened to be the coldest month of the year and he adpapted well to -40 and took excellent care of my home and dogs while I was away on a couple of trips during that time.

Flo spent one month in early 2020 at my home in the Yukon woods. He helped with woodcutting, proficient with chainsaw, woodworking, comfortable with power tools.

Vom Workawayer (Florens) für Host

Living and working at Janes place in the Yukon was one of the most amazing things I have ever done in my life.
I spent a lot of time (during March 2018) in the forest with Jane, cutting down trees in order to make firewood. Jane cuts the trees and then the branches have to be burned and the logs have to be pulled to the house with little sleds.… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Aiden)

I so enjoyed sharing my home with Aiden. Midwinter, wood heat, dog care, often alone, she worked diligently and creatively; for example inventing a system to warm up the root cellar when the electric heater element broke. When we worked together I was impressed with her intuitive sense of what needed doing. Best of all was her generous nature and… read more

Aline spent a month living and working at my house. She quickly learned how to operate my wood cook stove. Temperatures dropped to -32 and she coped well with caring for the house and the dogs in that cold. She is both independent, in the sense that she could spend 5 days there alone, and a good communicator, always replying emails promptly. We… read more

We had an awesome time in Jane's beautiful Cabin ithe Yukon nature. The surrounding is breathtaking, so we were always outside. The work we had to do was fun, such as cutting wood, making fires or building a new frame of her outhouse.
