Alone: Remote Cabin Life In Canadian Wilderness

[@peterpiper487]

That's amazing how your dogs just lie down and wait for you, knowing that you have to cut the log and move it out of the way. Smart dogs!

[@deadpinecollective]

Pacer the border collie is very smart. He knows where all the trails to the traps are, so if he is running ahead, he will just lie down on the road until I get there.

[@OhashiOutdoors]

Great video, @Dead Pine Collective ! There is something therapeutic and rewarding about cleaning up a remote property. It's lots of hard work, but you can watch the woods change around you.

[@deadpinecollective]

Funny, I was just thinking about that yesterday. There is something about cleaning up a property. The only thing missing was the ability to have a fire. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to your next video!

[@OhashiOutdoors]

@@deadpinecollective No problem, friend! The fire danger is real every summing in AK, too. I always build brush piles and wait for the fire danger to go down before doing a controlled burn

[@deadpinecollective]

@@OhashiOutdoors that’s exactly what I’ll do. I may wait for some snow on the ground if it stays dry all fall.

[@ymimad49]

I enjoyed watching your video. from an old lady in a high rise, when i was young i so enjoyed the forest around my grammas cabin. this reminds me.

[@deadpinecollective]

Thank you so much for watching. I will be having more cabin videos coming out, and there are a few older ones with myself and my daughter out there.

[@denisefoxcroft8920]

Really enjoy your videos. So Mother Nature friendly and beautiful scenery. Um...you need to befriend SB Mowings Spencer, Cabin on the Hills son Juggernaut and dad's team and Clean the City's guy AP with you so you can sit back and relax while they clean the jungle yard. We do know you have much respect for the flora and fauna which surrounds you. Carry on with the adventures with your handsome dogs 🐕. Cheers 🍻 and love ❤ to all.

[@deadpinecollective]

Thanks for watching. Part of the fun of clearing the land is doing the work. I enjoy that part of it. I’m just waiting for some cooler wetter weather so I can start burning. I just had another great adventure with my two dogs and posted a video of our latest hike😁. Thanks for your support!

[@drue6360]

Damn good dogs. I trap wolf down in Montana, I can’t say it enough, what you do for kids is amazing man. As I’ve gotten older I’ve started to really think about meaning in life, I sincerely believe that meaning in my life is passing on knowledge to those that want to receive it. Not many do, but there’s something that happens in me when I get knowledge from someone and when I pass on knowledge that I think is starting to scratch the surface of the meaning in my life.

[@deadpinecollective]

Those are great words of wisdom. I’ve never spent much time thinking about it, but when kids come out to the bush with me, I’m always amazed at how little they know about the simple things. Some have never roasted a hotdog, and those that have, most have no idea that they need a green willow to cook it on. It’s a wonderful feeling to pass on simple knowledge as well as the more complex knowledge of harvesting an animal and conservation. Thanks again for watching and leaving a meaningful thoughtful comment. I really appreciate it!

[@friarfoxz]

I wish I had thought of this before I was too old. I could see retirement with the beavers and lake.

[@deadpinecollective]

I will definitely be spending more time out there during retirement 😁

[@Bren.L.A]

Very cute cabin & luv the serene privacy. ❤ The meadow will be a gorgeous area to watch the wildlife.

[@deadpinecollective]

Thanks. It’s definitely private out there for sure. Not another cabin within 50 miles 😁

[@deadpinecollective]

So much wildlife in the area. Moose, deer, bears, wolves and tons of little critters as well!

[@trappertim815]

Looks awesome… great video

It was a tough hike. Thanks for watching

Nice to c u my friend. Definately will look better when all cleaned up. Nice little cabin & ur wise to get trees away from it for fire protection 💜😊

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, too long between videos. We currently have a bunch of fires in the area so I need to keep at it.

You needed a handful of those kids helping you move brush around!

[@deadpinecollective]

Yes I do, but that’s one area of the trapline I keep private except for family and a few hunting buddies 😁

[@HangingSteel]

That’s a fun video. We don’t get to see you very often without the kids. Enjoy that beauty cabin this summer bud

[@deadpinecollective]

I don’t get out there enough. Hopefully a few more trips before the fall. Thanks for the comment

Something I always wanted to do but life was busy. We do have a beautiful 23 acres very rural property overlooking a harbour.

[@deadpinecollective]

Peaceful area one would like to lost for awhile at that spot Got to have ah couple of buddies with yah Always good to have an extra in this case two extra sets of eyes and ears for wildlife you did a good job on this video, my friend👍👍

[@deadpinecollective]

Thanks for watching. I don’t generally make videos this long. Glad you enjoyed!

[@exploringmybackyard]

well, that saw certainly does work well, doesn’t it? going to pick oneup. that is one heck of a view a little more thinning out will give you some more light and a little bit better against the fire. Awesome video. Good to see you at the cabin. Need to get there more. Stay safe.

[@deadpinecollective]

Absolutely. I didn’t show much with the saw, but it got me all the way in to the cabin. It’s sweet to carry in my pack, on the sled, quad, or side by side when you don’t want to carry a chainsaw. I’d highly recommend. I use it all the time!

Awesome, thanks for your support. I’m not sure if you are into trapping but it doesn’t get much more Canadian than trapping beavers 😁. Most of my videos are taking students out from elementary and high school and teaching them the trapping trade.

[@marcmeinzer8859]

@@deadpinecollective I’m a fan of Grey Owl having guided canoe trips at the same youth camp he worked at back in the early 20th century or Keewaydin of Temagami [Ontario]. I was originally a camper at Northwoods Camp, now defunct, also of Lake Temagami. Lake Temagami is a forty mile long starfish shaped lake about 100 km north of North Bay, Ontario where there is a RCAF base.

[@deadpinecollective]

@@marcmeinzer8859 that’s very cool and very Canadian. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@marcmeinzer8859]

@@deadpinecollective I’m an American but I own a Canadian flag and fly it every Dominion Day on July 1st since I lived in Canada for about a year spread over 5 canoeing seasons. I also own an Ontario provincial flag silk screened on polyester which I got mail order for just $3.00 American. The Canadian flag cost over $60 because it’s heavy duty nylon. The one camp I worked at was so old, having been founded in 1892, that a British flag was displayed in the old lodge there on Devil’s island in the north arm of Lake Temagami. And as you doubtless are familiar Canadians remained British subjects until the passage of the Canadian Citizenship Act in 1947, much like Australians and New Zealanders as well. On my Wenonah ultralight canoe I also display an Ontario flag sticker. I’m descended from Seneca Iroquois Amerindians who were most likely tories during the American Revolution but I have another ancestor, John Scott, who served in Washington’s continental army during the revolution. When I was in the navy at submarine school in Groton, CT I got a tour of a visiting Canadian destroyer conducted by a Newfie able seaman. That was in 1978 when Canadian sailors were still wearing army uniforms.

How do you find property this far back in the country?

@@glenscott3130 It’s a registered trapline that I own. You can find them for sale online, or word of mouth, but you must have a trapping license in order to purchase a trapline.

yeah i am First Year Foresty and thinning the weaker trees out will make the other trees grow...plus you have to remove these trees and limbs not to add to the ground duff layer.

[@deadpinecollective]

Absolutely

[@ltbrutusq6202]

Apart from an 8" survivor knife, stun gun, mace, and machete, I added a Bruni New Police 9mm Pak blank pistol (very loud) and a .50 cal Umarex TR50 Paintball Revolver paintball airgun to my RV/camping/hiking arsenal. Both are non-lethal and each is under $100. I also added solar motion sensor LED lights and have an intruder alert. Remember even if you do not have a gun you can bluff "Go away I am armed with a gun.". M80 firecrackers come in handy when you hear footsteps or weird noise outside your tent just light one up and throw it outside, after the loud bang most critters are scared away.
