DON'T BUILD A CABIN until you do this

[@lauramasters7124]

I'm a 69 year old widow of 20 plus years. I stumbled across your vlog 'accidentally'. It was providential. The first thing I noticed was how friendly and kind you were. But I grew addicted to these vlogs because they provide a sort of, vicarious relief for me. I have memories of my husband and I camping, you brought it all back, and this has actually been medicinal. It's helping to keep my blood pressure down, because your vlogs are so serene. I just love you to death for these vids. I had cancer and lost a kidney, so keeping the bp down is essential. Thank you for being my escape from the noise of daily living.

We got the 13 foot bell tent from white duck outdoors! It's my favorite purchase ever. I told them I learned about them from Girl in the Woods and the lady said, "Oh we love Brooke!"

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

lol nice

[@nancybrown2700]

Brooke, I had friends that built their beautiful log cabin high in the Rockies, But first, they built their stable, and they and their two boys and horses spent the first years in the barn together until the big log home was finished. Good to see ya Brooke. I can hardly wait to see your new cabin by the river.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yup sounds like the plan!

[@danewood2309]

Bell Tents are fantastic. I bought a 13ft Relum Safari in 2002, used it for 9 weeks every summer working festivals with my kids, and other assorted occasions including 4 winter camps of a week. I lived in it in 2017 when I was Homeless , it tore down one side in 2018 from canvas fatigue... but 16 years use was pretty good for a canvas tent that I paid £360 ( about $400) for , and it outlasted all the "modern nylon" tents friends and family have owned in that period. I've just sold my Camper and Caravan ( recreational trailer) and am buying another Bell tent in the next couple of months for next Summer ... really looking forward to waking up in the Bell tent in the Woods

You are so awsesome and experienced Brooke! I thought I was good in the outdoors until I found you! You are such an inspiration to us all!

[@ruthiewrangler9864]

I love how you took a forgotten piece of land, and turned it into a homestead. You saw this happening the day you went there on your snowmobiles. You both were so excited to get going. I love that. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@davestelling]

It's just so nice to see you here again, Brooke! What a great set-up you & Dave have carved out for yourselves there in the faraway forest. Many blessings your way...

Been missing y’all! Can’t wait to see future endeavors! AND the new cabin! Wooooo🤩❤️

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I am someone who will never build a base camp, nor will I build a cabin in the woods by myself, but I can certainly live vicariously through Brooke. I have the most utmost respect for what she does! My grown boys are avid backpackers, & I love to hike, so I enjoy learning about off grid living & safety tips. Thank you for taking us along, Brooke, your time is recognized & appreciated! xo from Oregon 💕

[@colewilson2838]

Brooke you knocked this video out of the woods ,once again you just give solid advice for your KZbin fans.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Pinkshenanigans]

So glad to hear from you!! Can’t wait to see your cabin!!

[@karengladys2011]

Yay! We see you! Looking forward to the cabin reveal! Hope you’ve been having a wonderful summer! And here we are yes my favorite season in the fall in the upper Midwest! Love it!

[@jeffersonspace]

Thanks Brooke, and The Wuff. I'm learning some new things watching these videos, as a picture tells a thousand worlds. Nice progress on the homestead. Parks worker, Miami. Bless

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

So glad!

[@marilynwargo6288]

Living out doors has been a huge part of my life from California to Connecticut. From the early 70s to a few years ago. I miss it. Vehicles, tents, airstream. Good living. 🌸🐌💙🌙

[@Em-mr6wu]

Your videos make me happy! 😊

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

love that thank you

[@Gardendreamsforme]

I missed you!! Glad to see a video today❤️

[@UrbanGrrl69]

Great set up Brooke. Those white duck tents look gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the little cabin build.

[@lisad5540]

So nice to hear from you!! I love your channel! I am a nurse who needs to “get away” after a rough night at work and your and Dave’s videos help me do just that. Thank you so much for helping me to rest my mind and smile again. You are the best! Can’t wait to see the cabin! 🌲

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

You are so welcome- take care!

[@ashevillegeorge3316]

What a wonderful place! Thanks for sharing!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you yes she's doing great!

[@bobjoncas2814]

...GREAT ADVICE, KEEP WELL..

[@MrAvacardo]

Really enjoy following you and Dave and the wonderful cabins you build! The thing that imoresses me most us is your patience in the modern world, so refreshing. "Lived in a camper to build the garage, lived in the garage to build the house, then moved it" you guys are an inspiration!

[@capecodruthie8595]

So nice to see this latest video. I’ve been missing you. Your videos are always so educational.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thank you so much!

[@lisajohnston6422]

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Wow Brooke!! Your little settlement is really turning out nice!!

[@tonkinbray]

Brooke I have SO MUCH RESPECT for you and your family. I love your outlook on life 🙌🙌💜

[@dianetbailey9185]

Great to see you, Brooke. Love your videos along with Mayzie..

[@keithg7667]

What an awesome piece of land.

[@bgurtek]

We've only built remote once. Your advice here would have been valuable to us back then.

[@alanbiesemeier6930]

You are truly blessed to have so much time doing what you love and away from the rest of us "Indentured Servants" to a paycheck. I was a Boy Scout growing up and in a Troop where the Adult Leaders took us camping a lot in the Colorado mountains. Love the outdoors and spent time after College in the Northwest working in the Seismic Industry. Just do not have the freedom that you and Dave have. Helps me find that "Happy Place" watching your videos. Thank you.🤗🤗

[@lisamdrake5696]

So good to see you, Brooke! ❤️😁

[@danamama6766]

So nice to see you!! Love that set up wow its fantastic.

[@starlightsunsets]

Great video showing all the comforts of a home in the wilderness. I think I could just live in that setup, you have everything needed to enjoy life. Keep up the great informational videos.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

Little bit of speaker wire to make a dipole antenna hung in the trees really helps on small radios.

[@preppernurse1]

Great set up it looks good.

[@cjg8822]

Always love your vlogs

[@gillylovett7735]

Your videos got me thru the lock down and pre-vax of Covid. Your journeys into the woods, along trails, sunrises and sets, first bites by the fire sustained me. Thank you. Thank you thank you. I am glad to see you concentrating on this build for yourself, family and future. You are a natural teacher. Selfishly I want more fire time but if I want that then I need to get off my duff and make it happen for myself! That’s why you do these videos! You are giving everyone the gifts they have in themselves. ❤️🥰haha!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you Gilly!

[@noradonovan6707]

Wonderful to see the new property...and. especially to see your Maysie girl looking great! ❤

Thx for the tour I’ve missed you both , glad to see you back 💕

[@marthabradas8873]

Thank you for all the information and for sharing your processes! You are really educating so many people and not from a book, but from actual experience!!! This is worth a million bucks!!!! Thank you for sharing so much, it means the world to me!!!

[@laurelbozman6997]

Love your info. Always very helpful.

[@sarahduncan1423]

Can't wait to see the newest cabin!

[@nonap5225]

So good to see you and a great video. Have missed you but understand how busy y’all are. Wishing y’all the best on the new cabin build. Being a country girl (78 years young) I really love the life style y’all are living. It is always something about being in the woods that I find so peaceful and enjoyable. Nature is our great gift from God and we should enjoy it and be thankful for it. Best wishes from deep southeast Mississippi.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thank you so much!!

[@paulmilsaps4476]

It's good to see you Brooke, it looks like you've been pretty busy since your last video.

[@bobashmore6442]

Looks like it's coming together. Awesome. Can't wait to see your completed cabin. I have been living vicariously through you and Dave since my health took a decided turn for the worse earlier this year and my "gettin' out" had to come to an abrupt end. Fortunately I'm finally through the worst of it and am on the mend but wanted to let you know how much watching you guys doing all the outdoors stuff that I couldn't really helped keep my spirits up while I went though it. Thanks.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

awesome hope you're feeling much better and on your feet again!

[@dougarendt3734]

Congratulations finished the cabin. Can't wait to see the videos. I have been waiting! I'm gone

[@juliemaddux9833]

Hey Brooke, I really love your set-up. Very spacious and beautiful scenery. I can see why you're so content sitting by a fire and enjoying the peace and quiet especially after putting in a long hard day. Take care and be safe. See you next time.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much Julie!

[@QSLCODE]

GLAD TO SEE U BACK MISSED YA !

[@freedomunderwesternskies1200]

We LOVE your channel!!!! We have less than 7 months to complete the tear down of the old 1840’s home place along with its companion barn, get them packed up and shipped out to Montana to begin the up-cycled♻️, off grid cabin build! We can’t thank you enough for all of the awesome ideas and fantastic content here on your Instagram page- we can’t wait to incorporate some of these ideas into our upcoming build! There is nothing more magical than building a new to us home to live in that was once lived in and loved by someone else so long ago! If those walls could talk! Thanks again for being such an amazing inspiration- April and Jeff

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Wow big project- good luck!

[@joefrank7159]

Thank you.

[@brianscott9861]

I would love to live in the woods. Its so peaceful.

[@PurpleHaze929]

Hey Brooke. Been awhile since I have commented. Glad to see you are doing well. Cozy little set up you have there. Looking forward to see the complete cabin. 😊

[@noyopacific]

We used to put warm water in a pump-up garden sprayer for showers. My girls pointed out that while it was good it wasn’t great for washing their hair. This year I put in a demand water heater. You are right about it being a game changer. Now our showers at the cabin are actually quite luxurious! Thanks for the video!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yesssss

[@possumrunhomestead]

Love following along with your journeys. I'm currently starting a brand new Homestead on raw land in the woods. I have gathered so much knowledge and advice from watching your and your husband's builds. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring others! 🥰

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Awesome good luck!

[@WhiteFox011]

It is always a pleasure to watch your channel, and your husbands as well. Many of us that are watching will never take the chances that you do. Congratulations on your being able to follow your dreams! Love your Collie too. We have been raising Rough and Smooth Collies for just over 30 years, they are the best!. Sadly we recently had to put down 4 of our furry kids. They were all 14 years and a little bit. Which as you probably know is a long life for a Collie. Prior to that, our oldest Collie was 10 years old. So they all had a very good life. We are both in our 70's now, and we are thinking about down scaling on dog size, perhaps a Pembroke Corgi will be our next dog. In 2010 we were fortunate enough to purchase Our Forever home. We are about 10 miles from town, and our closest neighbor lives a bit over a mile from us. Our 14 year old collies got to bark and run as much as the 2/3's acre pen would let them. When they were younger they would always try to ,"herd the farm vehicles", that would pass by our place on the road, it was great fun for us to watch, as well as the farmers that were driving the rigs, especially after we told them what the Collies were trying to do. W have a great view out the front door, that is forever changing with the seasons.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

oh how nice!!! love it

[@janicewilliams2194]

Funny I was just thinking about you yesterday. I was thinking what a trooper you are. Then out of nowhere there you stand and I can't believe it. Heck yes I'm done for the night and I'm going to watch my favorite you-tube. Bless your sweet kind heart and the dog of course. Hugs and XOXOX

[@lpschick7237]

Wow!!!! You guys have been busy little beavers at the UP. Loved getting the tour of everything you’ve done so far. Even clearing those trails in itself is a lot of work. You can definitely tell you have experience setting all of this up. Having your home base with some of those creature comforts are important physically as well as mentally. After working all day & being able to come back to base camp & wash away the days work & sit by the fire & e comfortable is so important. You guys have & are doing an amazing job at the UP. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up. 😬👍🏼
