Always a pleasure to surfing into Martin's cabin and see what's going on with birds, animals and the famous Cherry pie. Good to see that you are healthy and getting things done. Thanks for sharing.

The weather has allowed for multiple trips this winter.

[@RenaeSchmaltz]

Martin your videos are wonderful for the heart and soul. Where is Jim and Kevin and I cant forget "Old Man David and Walleye Don"? I love the Ethel comment LOL. You, Vonnie and the crew are WONDERFUL! Always get a kick out of the Male Spruce Grouse struttin his stuff. LOL

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Kevin shows up for a few days of birding and Jim was with family for the holidays. David had family too.

Saturday morning ritual, thanks Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You're very welcome

[@dalesmyth7398]

I had to look up that wood stove. I've personally never saw one like you've got there. I've got 2 wood stoves, 1 is a Wonderwood, other is an old boxwood stove. Here's what I found on yours. The Jotul 606 wood stove was originally designed by architect/designer Blakstad-Munthe-Kaas in 1942 in Norway, but was only imported to the states for a few years in the mid-70s.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for the inside dope on the stove. Friends purchased it back then and stopped using it so sent it along for a new life at the cabin.

[@tddstl3166]

Favorite trip of the year. Thank you Marty. Just a suggestion: The next time you're up there and rained or snowed in the cabin all day, it might be a good idea to shoot a video of all of your supplies/food inside your storage bins so new viewers can see your set up in that fabulous little cabin. Thank you as always.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

thanks for the idea.

[@joemoore8054]

Martin you need a long handle broom to safely remove the snow from the solar panels.

I have a mud flap on a pole but it will not clean off ice so climb I must. That climb is safe as all the deer stands I get up into each fall.

"Don't look Ethel - too late"! Martin that's funny :) I just played that Streak song last night at the pub.

[@geraldnichols1853]

Crazy how those Jays know exactly when you get there. It's still fairly snow free up north but I have a feeling winter is going to make one or two more pushes to punish us up there. I'm heading up early this next week might take advantage of bucking up some firewood with little snow on the ground and no bugs. I know if I wait till May I'll be dinner for those black flies and mosquitoes. Almost forgot to tell you I found an interesting channel on here called The Woodland Escape. It is more of a 1700-1800s history type channel of early pioneers thought it might be something of interest to you.

I do have one but it will not take off the ice. I spend a lot of time each fall perched in tree stands in my deer hunts and understand being safe when elevated. As one old pro pointed out there are certain safety things we do, like not reaching far out to the side while up there.
