Thanks so much !! you too !

[@davidalbright7335]

This video is just a little over the top. I mean, the cabin is wonderful and the snow makes the whole setting idyllic but the open-air griddle, thick cut bacon, blueberry pancakes and THEN the homemade maple syrup pushed it right over the edge. As if that wasn't bad enough, here come the steaks. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming. Have you thought about adding a content warning to your videos? Just kidding. That was a payoff video, for sure. Great job.

[@blackspruce1861]

LOL thanks ! it was definitely a pay off

That cooking set up looks like its working great! But... I'd have to come over and vet it in person to be sure. Let me know the next time you got an extra steak! Hi Tina and pups! Great relaxing vid Ry :)

[@sardonic_smile_8752]

Perhaps you built the grill too far from the cabin...? I think a canopy would be a practical addition. I do like Dutch Oven cooking! Aside: boots off when you go in! Don't prematurely wear out that floor. Also, you need to check that dog. He needs to respect YOU as the Alpha of the pack.

[@blackspruce1861]

[@SputnikDucknik]

This is a wonderful "slice of life" video, and I hope to see more of its type on this channel, which overall, I have NOTHING but praise for thus far! I've watched most of your previous videos because they were informative, and practical/useful to me and my personal interests in wanting to improve my own skillsets regarding construction and handiness in general. I first watched because I wanted to learn something, but ended up being pleasantly surprised by how much character was present within your presentation and overall style. THIS VIDEO, has all of that same character and likeability that is present in your previous videos, but is without the same sense of seriousness/practicality/purpose I originally tuned in for. This video achieves the same effect, but with a more passive or leisurely approach, and with even more of your personality coming through. It may sound crazy, but believe me when I say that others will agree: Watching this is incredibly satisfying... Its hard NOT to smile when you're watching somebody casually enjoy the fruits of their hard labor. The wintery beauty of this particular day (that you've so graciously shared with us), is simply your "reward" that has been earned through all of your pervious work. Plus, just as a side note... your ability to capture and then share the "essence" of what makes a Day "Great," is a testament to your ability in video editing/presentation, but also to your overall relatability and authenticity. It's very clear that you not only talk the talk, but can walk the walk. This is good content through and through. Cheers and Keep on Keeping on!

[@SherriP]

Those of you who thinks or feels that God doesn't care. That He is indifferent and or mean etc …. Are you wondering why is the world as it is, so much evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness… why does so much so bad happen?..... Well God does not miss it, none of it.... Please keep reading and understand things better and let this truth help you.... Evil things happen because there is sin and people sin and there is a way out of it all, evil, sickness, pain, heartbreak, demons, lies and so for.... Read everything here, please just read it and really listen because it is how to get out of so much hardship 💕 God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death. God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin. He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua, our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that! Our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly, that's righteous, before our Holy righteous God. Our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath for things we did, sin. Yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous, whole, healed, delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Read Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Read Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 Read all scripture and read it often while listening to every word. That's needed to understand. May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding in scripture and growing in the knowledge of God, we know Him and His ways from scripture alone. in Yeshua's name 💕 there are many misconceptions and lies in the world about God and people should spend time seeking Him and they will see that and better yet, the truth about Him for themselves 💕 Trust God and learn who He is in scripture and obey it all. Believe Him because you should and trust what He said you truly can because He never fails, every word of scripture is truth. Read scripture often and ponder each word to understand what it says, then Obey it. Praise the LORD God Almighty hallelujah

You can make blueberry syrup by boiling your blueberries in a little water. As a little corn starch slurry and sugar. It’s so good!

[@blackspruce1861]

that does sound good I've got several trees tapped now for some fresh maple syrup

[@michelletavoian483]

I tried cooking over pine logs. Yuck. Everythibg tasted bad. What trees dont ruin the taste of food?

hard woods are good I like to use maple or cherry

Tutto bello, ma un po di pappa al cane 🐕? La porta d'ingresso di solo vetro non è il massimo, ci vuole una controparte di legno. Almeno così usa dalle mie parti (Dolomiti)
