Thank you very much goutvols103! That is very generous of you! I have a tool I am saving for and this will help out a lot! Thanks again for supporting the channel!

[@goutvols103]

@@TheBushkateer No worries. What kind of tool are you looking at?

[@TheBushkateer]

@@goutvols103 it's pretty ambitious, looking to buy a bandsaw mill in the spring sometime. It would be nice to be able to make my own lumber for my projects this year. My chainsaw mill would be to inefficient for the projects I want to do. The learning curve for it may take a bit to learn, but I think as time goes on I will get better and more efficient with it. It will definitely benefit the channel. So thank you again for the donation and supporting the channel.

We're getting colder here in northern Minnesota. We're having strong winds that cut right through you. Our snow started with 15 inches all in one day with an inch or two each day since. Clearing the snow is a constant chore. I can handle the cold but the wind makes it almost unbearable outside. A good hot meal really helps. I like watching your videos and the way you get things done.

nice video and cabin all the best from the uk

[@TheBushkateer]

Thanks Pete!

[@mattsweet7918]

Nice video. I noticed you had a number of scenes where you showed the wood stove burning with the door open. Maybe this was for the visual effect for the video. If not, the wood stove will heat better with the door closed. Burning with the door open is like burning a fireplace. The draft tends to suck all the warm air out of the room. I burned wood in my grid cabin in Vermont for 30 years. It often got down to -20 degrees F, or colder, in the winter. My small wood stove keep that cabin nice and warm during the coldest temperatures. However, it was insulated, which makes a huge difference. Just a thought on burning with the wood stove door open, which you may not do. Keep the good videos coming. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheBushkateer]

Thanks Matt! The stoves door being open is for visual effect, I really would have liked to have a glass front to it> Maybe I will upgrade it to one with a glass front to get that effect without having the door open. It is not open all the time. I will be insulating it better come spring time when the weather is better and I can remove everything from the interior. Will be a good project!

Mr. Bushkateer, (I don’t know what your first name is!) I am really enjoying your videos. You inspired me to look for a porridge recipe, and I found a very good one. I have been making it everyday for breakfast. Quick Questions for you: where did you buy your cutting ‘board’ for your vegetable prep? Also, do you ever prepare pancakes at the cabin for a breakfast treat? Cheers, and Happy 2023!

[@TheBushkateer]

Thanks Lisabkirchner! Porridge is my favorite breakfast out at the cabin! That with a nice cup of coffee it is a treat! I look forward to it every time! Interesting you mentioned pancakes though, I just purchased a new two burner stove to and it comes with a grill and was thinking I should try some pancakes on it one morning instead of my usual porridge. I think it would turn out well and a nice change. I can not remember where I got the cutting board, I picked it up somewhere, maybe a gift. Thanks for tuning in and commenting!

[@lisabkirchner]

Have you a favourite wood for kindling & generally all night burning. I live in the UK, worked for 30+yrs as a timber faller & sawyer, softwood as we call it, pine, fir, spruce etc goes for the housing building, best firewood is hardwood such as Ash, Beech, Oak, in our wood burner stoves we can keep them alight all night after filling stove upto the limit & damping them down, of coarse we very very seldom get it as cold as your country.

[@TheBushkateer]

Thanks Andy! Yes, for kindling my go to wood is western red cedar. It lights up really easy and gets a fire going quick! It does not last last though, just lasting a little over what cardboard would! For the rest of the time the stove is going I use spruce and pine as it is plentiful and easy to get. Not much in the way of hard wood in this area, other than some birch! Thanks for tuning in and commenting!

U r one of a kind!! Just love your videos. Have you always lived in that frigid environment? Also is your sleeping bag rated for so many degrees below zero?

Thanks Don! There are not to many winters where I have not experiences -40. I think the coldest I have seen during winter is when I was logging in BC, it got down to -54 without the wind chill. It only warmed up to -40 that day, it was hard to work in, but we did it for about 5 hours. My sleeping bag is rated for -50C as I recall. It stays nice and warm.

Probably a stupid question, but why do you build a fire outside?

I make a fire outside for a couple of reasons, firstly it is a source of heat I can use right away to keep warm while the cabin is warming up and I use it for cooking. I do spend a lot of time outside while I am at the cabin and having that fire going outside makes it more comfortable, I can warm up and still stay outside. Thanks for tuning in and commenting!
