A Simple Life In The Woods

[@Vanwives]

We are taking a break this week after having project tunnel vision (drywalling lol). Slowing down and taking care of ourselves was a good decision with SPRING around the corner… so many big projects we’re looking forward to!! A lot of you say how we inspire you to pick up a project or get something done but we hope we can also inspire you to slow down too 💛 Also cannot believe we had arsenic in our water but excited to get it tested and show you the results. How do you tell winter to leave, while still being polite? 🤣

[@shelleymalone4427]

As a fellow Canadian, I have to admit I’ve had a few choice words at winter this month. Clearly, winter doesn’t give a damn!

[@deannaporter7730]

Hi ladies 🙋‍♀️ Happy Sunday!!! 👭🐕💞🐕

[@SisterSherryDoingStuff]

I took a break this weekend after two months of working on my online business. Big time tunnel vision (editing and creating books). I was working every single day, all day long...that my work became garbage. I needed to step away from it. Walks, cooking, cleaning. No planks for me, ( I can only last about 25 seconds, man I loathe those things!) I agree, walking away, refreshing and renewing ones mindset only makes you a better worker. I'm on a break.

[@mochibear8933]

Do a Sun dance- Winter may take the hint he he 😂

[@ericallan1373]

Arsenic!! Who would have guessed that.

[@alexius23]

I lived in New Mexico back in the late 60’s. A friend of mine had an older brother. That bro had purchased an old ranch house which had been neglected for years. The two brothers & their Dad & Uncles had spent years refurbishing & expanding the house. I only saw it a few years after completion. After watching you two work so hard on your place with the power tools, generators, sauna, solar and improving the water….it makes me reflect on the changes in technology & new ideas such as the Internet that just didn’t exist all those decades ago….

[@Vanwives]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that with us. Technology and information has been definitely shared so differently these days. We're glad we could inspire you! 🤗💛

[@SunraeSkatimunggr]

Isn't it amazing to have your own water source? I have water from a mountain spring behind my house. Clear, cold and safe water straight from bedrock in to my fauset. You had arsenic and iron, i have calcium and copper that needs filtering out. Done easily and it taste so good. Spring has sprung, and April weather is around the corner, wich means, all weather at the same time and you need to hold on to your hat. Sun is shining, make coffee, get out and get blasted with hail, sleet and snow, and then back sun sun again within 5 minutes ;) April for yah! Thank you as always for bringing the energy, the positive vibe, and the spirit high. Love you guys! 💛

[@johncarlsen9318]

Ladies, you bring a smile to face with every video you do. You are great examples of how everyone should be. Not taking life overly serious, except when need arises. You know how to take a break and recharge when you need and know it's time to step away for just a little bit. Take it from this sixty year old dog, you have a great start on knowing when to break and have some fun and relax, it took me a lot longer to realize it. But now I just enjoy life and not worry about what the day or next day may bring. You two have a great love for each other and can share lot's of laughter daily with each other, and you work great together on projects. Think Spring, it's closer than we think.

[@Vanwives]

Thanks for sharing that great reminder. I hope spring finds you soon, as well. 🤗💛

[@skatetheglobe]

I just realized they sell parts for Gorilla carts. The front frame piece on mine is rusting and it only costs $15 for a new one. Make sure you get a dump cart but don't go so big that you can't lift it to dump it when it's full. Enjoy your break! 👋

I love that you got to enjoy at least 1 day of early spring. The look on your faces was so sad the next morning, but you quickly bounced back and made play time out of it. Rolling in the snow with bella and izzy and Crystal bouncing on the trapoline just laughing and having fun. It was so nice to see you sit back and enjoy some good food. After your hard day, it was nice to see you enjoy the sauna. And Jazmyn jumping in the snow; holy crap girl. That was a nice exercise program you got going there. Like Jazmayn, I would have cried too if you broke one of those jars. Maybe something less breakable next time. I loved Jazmyn and bella having fun with the banana. The runway you "built" for Chrystal was a great idea to help get her back in her running shape. Anyway, I love you all and look forward to more fun videos. Bernie ❤

Hey Bernie, that day was glorious but reality came back real quick. We had so much fun. Thank you for all your kind words. We are so happy you are part of our community. We sure did have fun. 💛🐾🤠

As I want to use a wood stove, just like yours, I wonder how long it takes to heat it at the proper temperature (around 90 celsius, as a proper finnish sauna should be). Also, how easy is it to keep the temperature ? Thanks in advance.

I surely hope you guys planted tons of bulbs last year all over your property. If not maybe this year you can plant tons of them all over even along for favorite walking paths so you'll see pops of color come spring, summer and fall depending on types of bulbs you plant. Don't forget those ever blooming lillies. They all come back year after year and spread. The deers and other animals normally won't eat them. But you can always add mint and lilac which will be a natural deteriorate since they don't like the smell

[@Vanwives]

Good Morning Mark, thanks for sharing all your great ideas with us. I WISH I planted bulbs and I’m regretting it so much 🥲

@Vanwives there is still time never to late to start. Once you get the bug it never ends.

LOL We had several days in the 60s and 70s this week Mother Nature decided to use her wicked sense of humour and I woke up to a mere 10 degrees. I'm longing for Spring too , I want to get my planting started so we'll have fresh organic home grown veggies again this year. That wood box you made is beautiful !! Thanks for sharing your life's journey with us all. See you next week. 😁

Weather is so neat, it just does it's own thing, simply. Thanks for sharing that with us Michelle. Sounds like an amazing plan, you can do it. 🤗💛

I love working out it’s kind of a stress relief and cleansing of the mind. Have a great week…#whereisspring

[@Vanwives]

Well said, we couldn't agree more! Have a great week, see you Sunday! 🤗

[@Stoney_Snark]

It’s Spring Break! Oh…you mean something different. You really deserve it, you’ve kicked butt!

[@Vanwives]

Good Morning, thank you for your kind words. We just needed to slow down. 💛🐾

[@davidschlecht3016]

Great to see you taking on the process of going from winter into spring as you tackle exercises into springing forward with renewed energy. 😊

[@Vanwives]

Absolutely, David! We have so much to share with you all this spring, thanks for watching. 😊💛

[@melodeeplath8002]

Michigan here - we are all OVER WINTER too! Our growing season is short as well so that makes us extra antsy to begin spring/summer. Looking forward to seeing all that you accomplish! You two motivate me to get moving 💪🏌‍♀️🏊‍♀️🤸‍♂️

[@nicothenatural]

Same here in Idaho

[@Vanwives]

Wow! Must be so cold there! Spring will be here so soon! We're so glad we can motivate you! Thanks for watching, Melodee! 🤗

Another idea for wood moving in the winter is a sled purchased from a farm store. They are black heavy duty and have four sides. I pull bales of hay out my horses all winter and it’s so much easier that wheelers through snow. Keep up the good work the cabin looks amazing!

[@nicothenatural]

I use a sled for collecting firewood, moving supplies, etc in snow. It's nice to have carts *and* sleds, if possible. Such useful tools!

[@Vanwives]

Thanks, Amy! That's such a great idea, we will have to look into that. Thanks for tuning in! 🤗🤗

[@MariE-go7ol]

Too funny. I just signed up with Essentris and it’s amazing! I’ve never been consistent in my yoga, stretches and full body workouts. I only walk and hike but I knew I needed much more. I signed up for a year. And there’s live classes too. Your cabin is becoming so beautiful and more cozy each week. Good job!

[@Vanwives]

Hey Mari, happy you signed up, and it is working out for you. We love it too. 💛 🧘‍♂️

[@jimandsniffers9408]

[@Vanwives]

Hey Jim, we are just one big happy family! 😃 🐶

[@MichaelSwartout]

You are so funny, you make me smile. Appreciate how you make so many videos, even when relationships have bad days. But you still get the job done for us, thanks. Home is looking good also. You would also make good radio talk hosts in your local area on top of KZbin. I would listen to you on the stations.

[@Vanwives]

Hey Michael so happy we can make you smile. Laughter and smiles is one of the best gifts. See you next Sunday.💛🐶

[@sherryheim5504]

Making working fun, what a great concept. I am glad you ladies took a semi-chill week, everybody needs to sort of hibernate for a few before motoring full-throttle into Spring. A mountain of projects await you, so put on your dancing shoes and get ready to rock n roll!!!

[@Vanwives]

Thanks, Sherry! Definitely enjoyed some slowing down, but we definitely have lots of projects to share with you all. 💛🤗

[@RealPeterGunn]

this was a great video and you can be very proud of it. Slowing down is really important in this crazy world. I am so glad you got the water fixed. Thanks for letting us enjoy your everyday routine...See y'all Sunday!!!!

[@Vanwives]

Hey Peter, you are so right. Taking a break sure feeds the soul and our bodies. We appreciate you following our journey.💛🐶

[@RealPeterGunn]

The pleasure is all ours, Gary. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😊💛

[@ericallan1373]

Ohh; I really like the cement look wood box. I can see where that could be used in other places in the cabin. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind.

[@Vanwives]

I wonder whete, Eric? 👀 Stay tuned!
