Alone in a Cabin in the Woods (Montana)

The beautiful piano music you can hear during the scene where I collect water and make a fire (7:53-10:00) was composed by my teenage brother. He posts his music on KZbin over on ‪@KovalikMusic‬
"Deep End" by Birdy is another song I used in this video.

Loneliness is experienced differently depending on the individual. The company of others is among a number of longings.

Being alone is wonderful, for about 14 days, unless you are completing a project to keep yourself busy. Filming is a bit of a project, but building a cabin or similar is what really keeps one too busy to bet bored. A dog alone is not sufficient, for most people...

Word of caution: Removing the lock from the hasp leaves you open to intruders or worse. You can be trapped inside with the use of a stout stick in place of the lock. It is better to latch the lock in place so that the hasp can not be placed over the loop.

I believe your journey, called living, is on the right track. I spent a lot of time in from the early 1960's to the mid 1970's experiencing the wonders of nature. Sometimes, it was with nothing more than a packing blanket, a coffee pot, a military mess kit, a pocket knife, matches, a hunting knife and a compass, sometimes with more, sometimes with just the bare necessities. This included California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Nevada and Colorado for the most part. I did take my own family to experience some of the same, but outfitted much better for the kids sake, in the early eighties to late nineties. I learned to start a fire without matches or lighters, and for most wildlife, to keep a fire going all night for protection when camping (no tent). Disposal of food scraps and such would be buying it several meters for the campsite. I've had encounters with wildlife, such as rattlesnakes, black bears, brown bears including one grizzly up north, water snakes, coyotes, wolves, pumas (ie: mountain lions or cougars), a very angry California Spotted Owl that actually attacked me, and run ins with bats in Arizona. I'm gonna be 70 in a couple months Wish smart phones were around back in the day because I could have had videos that would probably have gone viral. I could write about this forever, but of course I won't. I will simply say that to see the coastal areas, especially where the forests meet the seas, the sequoias towering so high it's almost unbelievable; the desert in the middle of the night allowing you to see the milky way and stars that seem so close you feel like you can almost reach out and touch them, canyons, waterfalls, caves, various types of forests, plains and geography...it all makes me realize that we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but at the same time just how much we are a part of it all. We, as humans for the most part seem to believe ourselves to be separate from nature, but when reality hits, it's awesome to realize that we are very much a part of nature. Oh, I should clarify that the owl that attacked me was likely protecting a nest. When I decided to circumvent the direction I wanted to go, the attacks stopped.

[@flywiseman]

My soul says that is paradise. I love being in the wilderness alone

[@beejull1]

Love that you're quoting Thoreau! One of my favorite quotes of his likely will resonate for you, Eva- it's perfect for these beautiful moments in the wilderness: 'But alone in distant woods or fields even in a bleak-- and to most cheerless day like this-- when a villager would be thinking of his inn-- I come to myself-- I once more feel myself grandly related-- and that cold and solitude are friends of mine-- I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by church going and prayer-- I come to my solitary woodland walk as the homesick go home-- I thus dispose of the superfluous, and see things as they are, grand and beautiful-- I have told many that I walk everyday about half the day light-- but I think they do not believe it. I wish to get the Concord--the Massachusetts-- the America out of my head and be sane a part of everyday. I wish to forget a considerable part of every day--all mean--narrow--trivial men and therefore I come out to these solitudes where the problem of existence is simplified. I get away a mile or two from the town--into the stillness and solitude of nature--with rocks--trees--weeds--snow--about me--I enter some glade in the woods alone perchance-- where a few weeds and dry leaves lift themselves above the surface of the snow--and it is as if I had come to an open window-- I see out and around myself... This stillness--solitude, wildness of nature-- is a kind of thoroughwort or boneset to my intellect--This is what I go out to seek-- It is as if I always met in those places some grand, serene, immortal-- infinitely encouraging though invisible companion-- and walked with him.' Henry Thoreau

[@montymontano8618]

Not to take anything away from the wisdom of Thoreau but his Walden was only minutes away from town. Your remoteness fat outstrips Thoreau’s experience.

[@jamesjackson2875]

Thoreau's cabin was only an hour or two walk from town and home cooking but he also explored the Maine woods with his Indian guide Joe. He went far enough to "suck all the marrow" and fill volumes with an inspiring transcendent view of the wild however relative. And he had 3 chairs in his cabin. One for solitude, two for company and three for society. Simplicity.

I've lived in a lot of places, including the interior of Alaska. One of my biggest regrets is not traveling and exploring more of the places I've been, from Egypt to Alaska. I did get out and enjoy being out, but not as much as I could and should have. Why I'm SW Texas near the border is another story, a bit of a love story in fact. But, that's another tale. I very much enjoy your approach to these adventures and the personality that shines through. No ego, no arrogance, no I'm the star. It's more of someone sharing discovery and adventure with friends. A few weeks ago I traded up to a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Sport. Upgraded tires and a few things. Hopefully, I'll get some adventuring in with a few close friends. Rigs need a name. I've always been a variation of Wolf. My road name when motorcycling was Iron Wolf. Among close associates (the only kind I really care about) I'm simply called Wolf. All that is leading to the naming of my Jeep. Jeep and I decided that in honor of you and Vilk and your adventures, as well as my long history of being a wolf, Vilk shall be its name. Wolf and Vilk. Let's see what we can get into. It won't be anything as remote and adventurous as you two, but we will be getting back to being out there again. So, if you are ever in the Val Verde/Kinney/Uvalde country area of Texas, give us a shout and we would love to share a meal.

What a life you live. You are so beautiful on the inside and out. I love your enthusiasm for the life you live. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all. God bless you Eva

Oh man I’m drooling over how remote and peaceful that spot looks! Thanks for taking us there!

As a 30 yr old single mother to a 5 yr old, ive also realized i need another human to share happy times with. Im single for 4 yrs and the marriage was barely a relationship. Ive become a very interesting person with lots of hobbies and deep thoughts because of how much time i spend by myself. But ive also began realizing how lonely i am. How i have no one asking me how my day was. No one to go out with on weekends when its family time for everyone else. I need that in my life even if im totally ok being with myself. But sometimes its too much alone time if you know what i mean. I want to show someone all my happy places.....and i want to be someones happy place. Youre an inspiration Eva!

[@pimdekker4344]

I always look out to see your video's, so nice to see Vilk again, i missed him last time, when u are so used to see the two of you, it feels immediately if someone is missing, since he became " part of the family" he had a place in my heart...🧡🧡🧡 greetings from the Netherlands

[@petergrimes2466]

Some of the most beautiful pictures are of you and Zilk together and seeing how happy you both are!!! I have 5 dogs and love them all to death and they rarely ever leave my side!!! Beautiful scenery also

[@onduty6024]

I love this video so much... Vilk was 100% in his element. Such beautiful solitude you two enjoyed. Thank you for sharing such a simple, rare, and wondrous time.

You're wonderful human being Eva. You're so brave, so strong, but gentle like a child. I really enjoy watching your beautiful videos, ever since I discovered your channel. You're my inspiration, and I think that you're a perfect role model, not only for girls, but for every honest human who wants to chase their childhood dreams, and has the bravery to do it. Much love, respect, and best wishes from Serbia, southeast Europe. And yes, never surrender, never quite, please, and all of us who love you will always be there for you, in any way we can, and in any way you need. Much love, respect, and all the best from my heart. Igor🌹💪 🥰❤️🐺🙏🌄

The master of living alone in the American wilderness definitely goes down to Dick Proenneke. Almost 30 years (and he only started his adventure at around the age of 50). Plus he filmed much of it. Check out his documentary, it's amazing.

[@user-sk7zc1fc5u]

I watched his documentaries and read all the books except for the long diaries he had but am now reading it, too. I even phoned the museum back in Iowa. I have been in places in Alaska a bit so I really enjoyed his life. I now live in what he would have called civilization, but most people would call the sticks. I have electricity but I can walk a hundred yards and then another few miles and not see anybody. And after a 6-mile drive, I can walk for over a hundred miles, rarely seeing a logging road until I get to the Bitterroot Valley in Montana. Yes, Dick was one of a kind. But I grew up in a vertical pole, log house my family and I built on an island in the mid to late 50's so I can relate.

@@official-EvazuBeck- Is this really you? Some people are afraid of guns and wild animals. I'm afraid of computers and the internet. I did not grow up with them. I touch the wrong thing and everything goes away. I just got a flip phone two months ago. I can call but am still not sure how to receive a call. I have to drive a mile to get reception. There are about 2 places in this country that don't get good cell reception. I am in one of them. Good internet, though. Today I have been watching those many real estate videos of North Idaho. Too cold, a little radical for me, and too commercialized for me. I like places a little closer say to National Forest like where you were at Fox Creek, in Galatin NF. I went online and researched. Our problem, you and me, is that I am internet illiterate, and I respect both our privacies. Having a college degree from CWSU doesn't mean I know about computers and internet because that was not available in the 60's. I about gave you up but yesterday I was recalling that I have a good friend on the coast who I think is internet literate and I e-mail her fairly often, she and hubby currently living in the place where I grew up. Could she be a go-between of some sort? You're the internet savvy gal so you need to figure this out. If you are really Eva, you will want to find me. I have a daughter and her family in Eastern Idaho, but since she pretty much shunned me because I basically apostatized from her fundamental Christian belief, she is not in the picture. I'm as leery as you are about this, because I'm not eve sure you are really Eva. Do your research and try to find me, I guess. I have talked to people in person but I can see them.

[@eS132100]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! As my current situation doesn't allow me to be in forests right now, thanks to you I could feel enaugh the atmosphere of this forest that some tears came out 🥹.. Thank you for your wonderful work and personality ❤️✨

That looks like the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Beautiful surroundings. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person to obsess over my dog. My dog is spoiled rotten as well.

[@johnm9567]

Girl , You are Living One heck of a life. I have been following you, of and on, for i knew one day you will make it to such a remote mountain hike and live in 'solitude' with the 'tonic of wildness'. Salute to you, and your spirit.

[@RawandCookedVegan]

There is some indication that though Thoreau was living in nature, he wasnt far from the neighborhood where he grew up and he could walk there if he felt the need for food or companionship. Congrats to you for going out into the wild. Im curious about Montana. It looks lovely and the solitude sounds amazing. Loved the Polish too, thanks for that.

[@Neilsowards]

Rawand, I think I read that his mother did his laundry for him. Nice.

[@stevet6993]

Thoreau was not as removed from society as many think. He would regularly have supper with the Emerson (Ralph Waldo) family. Humans are social animals, even the most introverted need interactions with other humans from to time.

[@RawandCookedVegan]

@@stevet6993Thanks for correcting my spelling of Thoreau. I think what you say is generally true though I think there are some hermits who totally live alone.

[@wannaspeakbyveroniq]

Omg I've never expected to hear that POLISH SONG from my childhood! I haven't heard it for ages and it made me connect even more to your feelings (as I'm Polish as well) You're videos are so deep... The meditation cabin in the woods sounds pretty much like my kinda thing as well. Buziaki ❤️

[@kennethburton9165]

There are not enough likes I can give your for this video. Having grown up in Montana in the 60's and 70's, watching this takes me back to a simpler time in my life, one that I long for again. I have returned back to my roots a few times over my life, and each time wondering to myself how I could manage to stay. My commitments to "normal" life always draws me away from what I call my home in Montana. So happy that you were able to taste the rich beauty of Montana. As a side note, winters can be tuff.

[@timkelly4954]

Yes ... your right happiness is best when shared ... experience is best when reflected in the heart of a loved one ... It describes a human journey we are all on ...

laughing at the follies with your backpack. So familiar, thanks for sharing that part too! Fun to watch Vilk enjoy the summer snow, that's one of my pups favorite things too. Hyalite is a beautiful area.

[@peopleofonefire9643]

My three dogs and I spent two years living in a tent in the national forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains. It is an experience that most people should have, but I was very glad to get in a cabin with electricity, internet, plumbing and a roof over my head, when the next winter was about to roar in.

[@timwhite5647]

Yes, I know Eva is well aware of winter, but when she's in a cabin in a remote part of the country with no heat or plumbing, it will be hell on earth.

[@peter25681]

My family attempted to go off grid in southwestern Virginia - we had homesteading in our hearts. Home schooled 5 children, raise 90% of our food, canned, worked with work horses. After 15 years we were exhausted. Wouldn't trade those years for anything ... BUT ... here's a key ... Before we moved from civilization I felt led to pray for Amish neighbors to help and train us. God was faithful, Amish settlement was only 40 minutes away. Must be trained for such a life. A very high level of experience and knowledge is CRITICAL! CAN'T read a self-help book in place of "professionals".

[@user-sk7zc1fc5u]

@@peter25681 As an old widower, I live on a small piece of land, 11 acres, but since some of it is steep, some in a canyon, some on the flats, it seems like more than that. I just returned from spreading gravel with a flat-blade shovel on one of the many dirt roads I have built over a 30-year span. I like to hike on trails so I have built a trail system and some of my roads connect some of them, so I make a gravel trail on the dirt roads to get to the main trails. In my location in Idaho, there is an abundance of clay soil and rain really does a number on roads. Trails don't need much maintenance until a tree falls on it. I learned to love trails from the time I spent backpacking to lookout towers in Washington's North Cascade Range. To build a trail, regardless of the slope, I use a Pulaski tool which is what wild-land fire fighters used to use, a rake, a hoe and a shovel. I did most of the trail building when I was younger. Several years ago, I and another Boy Scout leader built a scout cabin near the main spring and creek area. We used this for summer and winter camping and the boys enjoyed paddling canoes on the damned up part of the creek. We leaders both got old and the other died so I gave up trying to get people to take down the cabin so I guess it will be there until I die. When my family first moved here we stocked one spring-filled pond with trout. People are moving in to this area but I still have places where I feel like being in a wilderness. To my east is a cattle rancher with 120 acres who I have only seen 3 times and I corner on 300 acres, I've only seen a four-wheeler on once, and those two parcels join 900 acres, and I have built several trails on those lands, so it's still like living in the wilds. I think Eva enjoys being alone with just her dog and it is a joy when you can sit, as I do, under my free-standing canopy under tall pine and red and white fir trees, especially in the spring, but I can still see lots of bracken fern. I love to just sit and look at trees or go my creek and watch it run. People who move here from places like California cities don't seem to like living in the trees. They just want to put their fancy expensive house on a hill in the open. I only cut enough trees around my home, that I don't worry too much about a strong wind or fire. Few people I have known would like to live as do but I wouldn't trade this life for any amount of moving. I heat with wood that I harvest on my land, and I have a roof-water collection system that I built, and I still can't see much civilization. And I have had very few visitors over those 30 years. I lived a similar life when I and my parents lived on an island. Hard life but worth it. I do have electricity, but except for needing a blood thinner, if the grid ever went down, I would have no problems.

I love your idea of a meditation cabin. That's what I've been looking for recently: a piece of land, someplace remote, to build a cabin for meditation. Recently, I almost found the ideal place. But circumstances demanded something else. But with time, I get closer to hitting the mark.

[@hopingowen]

Great film Eva. Great to see your puppies back👍❤️

[@fairyintothewild8443]

My cabin in Sweden is much bigger, with electricity and cell service, but for the rest very similar to this cute cabin situation. Outhouse, no running water and surrounded by miles of forest. Still, I have to counsciously choose to disconnect my phone and reconnect with nature on a deeper level from time to time since the world can easily sneak in and claim my attention. My need for solitude is usually greater than that for human company and I can be happy for quite some time with my own thoughts and just following my flow, spending time with my dog and two cats.

[@devondrayton4006]

I love Desert Solitude. I read it while hitchhiking through Utah. Monkey Wrench Gang is my favorite by the author.
