Cabin Life Involves Chores-Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin

A cabin day with various chores getting done and ending with a session with my feathered friends.

[@scottclay4253]

Saturday coffee with Martin, always a great way to start the weekend! Thank you for bringing us along.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You bet!

[@RenaeSchmaltz]

Martin, the best part of doing chores is rewarding yourself with one of Vonnie's pies. 😄😄😄 Go ahead and have two.... you have earned it.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Maybe in my younger days.

[@l5r90]

I'm living out there with you!!!......Thank you my friend because i am stuck on a chair and used to love doing a cabin weekend!!!....Your a lucky man!!....Thank you for filming all this!!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I do try to make it seem like all are there along side me.

I am a camper from the Williams tree farm

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hey, thanks for watching my video.

[@jacksanders7018]

A great way to start a day, a visit with Martin and the Jays, much appreciated.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you stopped in.

[@user-mm3nn1dz8c]

Thanks for your time. Love my Saturday morning with Martin time.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@user-du2gt1jd9p]

Beautiful day in God's country

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Never a bad day there.

[@hubcaps1990]

I forgot about that OSHA approved mower, does a great job. Always good seeing you Martin 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

That was another one that I made up to store out on the trails where they are needed.

[@jamiegratton9748]

15 weeks and counting! We’ll make a dent in that lumber pile. Happy Father’s Day Martin!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Looking forward to it.

[@J297WFD]

It’s so awesome how the birds eat from your hand.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

They make that cabin that much more appealing.

[@3rubberboats]

A steady hand needs no funnel. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

[@toddkozakiewicz8770]

The evening light in the cabin yard while you were feeding the Jays is pure heaven. I also noticed the shadow of a tree dancing on the cabin. Say hello to Vonnie and have a good week!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Will do.

[@jan6293]

Good morning Martin! Sounds like a perfect day at the cabin! You truly are Blessed.🌲🏠🌲

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am blessed.

[@Home-11]

It sure looked peaceful at the cabin this week! Little bit of work, little bit of pleasure! 🍒🥧😁

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It was a laid back trip with an easy agenda.

[@chrishelms1967]

The weather looked perfect.......and I didn't see any bugs either...👍👍

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

that was the best part of the whole trip.

[@fastsetinthewest]

Nice video. To hell with chores... I had a push mower just like your mower. It was the best machine I ever owned. With over 95 degree temperatures here in Texas, I gave up mowing at age 76 and gave the mower to my next door neighbor. I did get a Ryobi electric and it does what I need. I pay a lawn guy $55 bucks every 2 weeks. It's worth it. I can't keep up with the projects. From near Fort Worth.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, there comes a time to rest.

[@jamessefton3680]

Good Day Martin and it’s good to see you again and seeing the Jays visitors 👍✌️

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Oh, the whole family was soon eating out of my hand.

[@driftlesshomesteading]

Always a pleasure catching up on your videos I love the upper peninsula!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

This is actually top central MN.

[@littlehillsidehomestead6362]

Where there is a will there is a way! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You got that right!

[@markmorris3579]

I love the sound of the wind,there's nothing more relaxing.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Especially on a hot day.

[@markmorris3579]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 -Absolutely!

[@vincentdsnt]

Yeah that pot would make one heck of a mess of beans !

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I have been told that is a really bad idea!

[@gwstubbs7046]

All that fresh cut wood for the cabin, I can't wait to see something built.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Sept 30 the walls go up.

[@vernareed2692]

​@@TheNorthwoodsman1here it is July 30 in two days,8wks now?

[@emilyneal7888]

It’s a good morning at the cabin. Now I’ve gotta go outside and get to work myself. Garden and the yard won’t wait.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

No escape the chores when we have things that we want to enjoy.

[@c.rogers____]

You're lawn mower with the open front, This is awesome wish I had one

[@JDK45ACP]

always a pleasure to watch.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@alaneee5273]

Martin, do you need some volunteer help when cabin raising time comes? I live near Duluth. Thanks for all the years of videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Others are coming. thenorthwoodsman10atgmail.com and I will add you to the contact list. Sept.30 the walls go up.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Nice to see you and your cabin pets

Best buddies for me.

[@lindcoop950]

Martin, that big noise you heard came in from Winnetka.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I wondered!

[@nonap5225]

Good morning. Nice to visit with you at the cabin. Everything is looking very good and well kept. Have fun. God bless you and Vonnie. From deep southeast Mississippi.😊

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks so much

[@Kimberlee-ld9ic]

Martin time is always a good time ❤❤ Thank you , Martin

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Nice to have everyone stopping by.

[@RenaeSchmaltz]

Martin, LOL you make those lawn mowers work for their oil and gas.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

A little snip snip and they sure work better in the small trees.

[@c.rogers____]

Those mushrooms are fine to eat.Especially sliced up in gravy on steak, yummy p.S , please get a window fan for hot Humid days.

[@bruinsfan8278]

That Cherry Pie looked DeeeLish! Well Done, Thank You Martin ! Im sure the Canada Js Thank U also :-)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It was!

[@vernareed2692]

​@@TheNorthwoodsman1really sounded good when you said it was loaded with 🍒!

[@c.rogers____]

You can also buy a brand new metal trash can to catch rain water. MY folks used to do that at their old cabin.

[@ernestkooistra1559]

Thanks!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Most welcome

Those are a nice size pie Vonie makes you bet their tasty .Nothing like sitting at the cabin with the wind blowing through the trees sipping a coffee eating a pie from Vonie and feeding the Canada Jay's lovely to watch.

Makes my life easier.

[@RenaeSchmaltz]

Martin, would you please ask Vonnie to make a video with making coleslaw? I make the WORST coleslaw and need to know how to make it so it tastes like coleslaw. LOL

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Will do.

[@harrygoodwin8998]

Mornin Martin Always a great day when you have a new video for us fans ..thank you..but a lot of us fans must be wondering how Jim made out with his operation..do you have any updates on his surgery??

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I saw him last week and he was limping pretty good. Drs. said it will be a year for the swelling to go away????

[@harrygoodwin8998]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 awe that’s sad ..but a serious operation so is gonna take time ..well let him know this fan..and I’m sure many others are wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@rwoods6132]

Bush Hogging with a push mower!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Cheaper that way and it never gets stuck in the mud.

[@marianfrances4959]

That "modern" orange chair, set against the historic and forested background, just kills me!😅 Truth is, its perfectly comfortable and belongs right where it is! More pie, please! Great water catchment. Best wishes to you and Vonnie.👍😎🇨🇦📸🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It just won't wear out.

Love the sound of the wind blowing through the trees......

Nice relaxing times.

[@davestelling]

Me, too...

[@c.rogers____]

And it's great to see you as always martin

[@snapperproman21370]

very cool,love watching your videos

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good to hear after all these years.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Your mower and you combined to do that job. I preferred to use a self-propelled brush mower to do that work: the saplings were mulched faster.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

This set up is light enough so no worries about getting stuck in the wet stuff.

[@Melicoy]

Thanks Martin. I love your relaxing videos. zzz

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I know what you mean. That is what happens up there.

[@rmlestes]

thanks

[@nancybrown2700]

Well Marty I find when my brush mower runs out of gas it is usually about the same time I have too. (I'm 76)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Common problem with such contraptions.

[@Cairo_Jack]

Hi Martin, looks like what we call Bell Morel (Verpa Conica).

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So many names and not easy to study.

[@paulatwinb2815]

That stack of cut boards... fine work, brother.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks 👍

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

That’s a good looking stack of lumber. One of those saw mills is definitely on my “to buy list.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I love it!

[@johnwayne3101]

Another great video. Thx. 👍🏻

Good to hear.

[@stevea9604]

Those world Vonnies famous pies taste great from here 🤣👍🏻🤩😀

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I was thinking of your comment as I enjoyed one this morning.

[@paulbatz7935]

Half-Free Morels make the best steak-butter, and scrambled eggs.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

They sure go by many names.

[@joepoppenhagen5694]

Thanks Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thank you

[@abcsandoval]

I spent many years milling, stacking, sticking lumber. I could have worked in lumber all my life if it had paid more than minimum wage.

[@margarethughes3763]

Whats that shadow on the left of the cabin when you are feeding the Canada Jays. Looks like a ghost person.

[@nonap5225]

Shadow of a tree blowing in the wind.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Sometimes I just do not turn around when I catch a glimpse.

[@harbinger2838]

You will need a whole hell of a lot of timber to build your chateau.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We are close to enough now.

[@bumper1730]

Some years ago, I thought I heard you say your hand pump well water had too much iron in it. Is there a way to filter that out and use the filtered water?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Just not worth the hassle and when its really dry up there it is dry too.

[@larryjacobs5713]

Is that the new Berky filter?

[@listcheck]

Martin needs a brook to wade and new pair of boots. and socks. and sole inserts, and a chiro-tug on his ankles

[@listcheck]

and a haircut

[@bc8968]

Get that man a gravely tractor!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

All about being very light for the places I need to take it. Beaver dams are very narrow and steep.

[@larryjacobs5713]

If anyone knows, how does Martin plan to square the edges on those boards.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I have a Granberg attachment for the chainsaw that cuts vertical. We will edge the boards with that.

[@WanderingWiley]

Let me know if and when you need a hand on that cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Walls go up Sept.30

[@phillipbremer7715]

ya i know its hard wood still i would spend coat coat and recoat the outside wood

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

When done that may happen.

[@tmccormick48]

the name for those type of mushroom is verpa bohemica

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, that sounds official.

[@larryjacobs5713]

Martin you need a chainsaw on the front of that mower.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Many would say do not give him any ideas like that.

[@phillipbremer7715]

sad part some you bucks going get our cabin never good they want inprove and change it i could see rock or stone would help with water my self doing same things this year thats why say it i been thier still thier doing it

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Some things we can't control but most really have respect for the cabin.

[@hobbyfarmer62]

So if we don't see more videos that means you were wrong about the mushrooms? And everytime you use the mower with the front cut open it makes my head hurt that thing could be so unsafe.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Those mushrooms seem to have a lot of names. I know the mower is an outlaw but safer that getting down there with a chainsaw.

[@bowlmeoverva]

Good morning. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for checking in.

[@robertrhodes9123]

Hi Martin! We have both light & regular morels along the road here. We eat all shades. Haven't killed us yet !!😋😋🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good to hear, I am now confidant too as I eat them.
