First Night in the Cabin (I Bailed…)

[@kwazimoto]

Mate, I appreciate your honesty and frankness in letting us know what actually happened. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being smart and cautious when you're ill.

[@motagrad2836]

Your health comes first. Glad you bailed and are feeling a bit better

[@williambridges6742]

Really nice to be able to sit back and reflect on all the work and laughs you have with your Dad, no one can take away these memories. Everywhere you look is you and your Dad. Cheers!

[@BrooksLMM1]

Your dad is so Awesome. Sorry you got ill hope your wife gets feeling better to. What an adorable cabin. Love nature’s concert in the back ground. First time watching, I will be returning. Stellar awning. Love that old porch light. Brooks, Oregon.

[@donnamoore7554]

You have quite the animal orchestra going on in the background. I love it. The awning is perfect. I agree, you would lose important sitting and hanging out space if you moved it plus the front door would be blocked. Great job

[@bradlafferty]

Glad that you recovered. Food poisoning is not fun at all. Your dad is great, such enthusiasm for living! You are both good examples of joie de vivre!

[@mattsnowden973]

Sorry to hear you weren’t very well but glad you were better for the Bushcraft Show, it was fantastic to meet you and your dad there.

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks for coming over to chat!

[@JamieHutchinsonTechUK]

Don't blame you for going home mate, nothing worse than a bad stomach etc when you're out, definitely a good choice to go home! It was also lovely to meet you at the bushcraft show, and now I'm a proud owner of TA Axe 069 :) looking forward to getting the sheathe for it!

[@TAOutdoors]

Many thanks Jamie! Appreciate the comment and also the support in purchasing an axe. I posted out your sheath yesterday should be with you real soon 👍🏻

@@TAOutdoors awesome, thank you buddy! 😊

Thank you Mike for a great channel in every way.

Sorry you fell ill, and I'm very glad you were HONEST. We need a lot more of that all over these days. Best to your wife and hope she is feeling okay now.

Sorry you got sick but glad you are better. Love your videos otherwise. God Bless you.❤❤❤❤

[@ChuckTravels]

This was still an enjoyable watch even if it didn't go as planned. That you made a point of being up front about the time lapse and detailed the reality of your situation demonstrates the integrity of this channel. Your character really shines through in your content. Glad you're feeling better. Good luck with the road project. Cheers!!!

[@LaurelsChannel]

You made the right call. If you are sick, you need to be where you can assistance and maximum rest.

[@williammathesius4543]

I hope you feel better and take some time to relax and get your stamina back. Lewes,de...u.s.a.

[@williambridges6742]

That's what we like about you , honesty. It's not just about the video, it's about real life and stuff does happen when you can't go on. We need to realize that we are human and life happens while we are making other plans. Keep up the great content, hope your wife is feeling better. Cheers Bill

[@mattbrown5511]

Good to hear you are feeling better. We all understand that stuff happens. Continued good health Mike. See you soon.

[@wendybutler1681]

I really love your "background" music. The 3 of us had dinner next door. At 2 am one of us ran for the bathroom. At 3 am another. At 4 am the 3rd of us was sick. Neighbors didn't get sick but her kitchen is the only place it could have come from. Lordy, we were sick. Heading for modern plumbing during a seige like that makes perfect sense to me.

Your a good guy ! I am am sorry you got so sick ! I hope you are better and continue to do your videos!

[@hansesselink9386]

Good to see you back on your feet. And beeing honest about a bail out. Have fun at the bushcrat show coming week(end).

[@DrAdams-fx6gy]

You must live in a nice beautiful area or very close from the pastures, and wooded area. I've wondered if any of the land you build on is family owned. The various styles of cabins and living quarters would be extremely interesting and great for people to come and look at all the work that went into build close up. The overall concept of what you and your dad have done together is a bond and memories must feel great. I never had parents that did anything with me, not even fishing. I had woods right across the street and use to spend all day in them. Trying to build things with just wood , trying to use grass, vines what ever to tie things together. I'm 66 and still to this day would love to be able to know how to build and live off the land. Behind my home is a wooded ravine which I had made into a wildlife sanctuary. I see deer, fawns beauties to see their healthy coat shine in the sun and how black and shiny their hooves are. Wild turkeys from young to older following each other, raccoons, which they use to come up to me and allow me to feed them corn.mThat was years ago, they use to come up on my back deck. Id turn the light on open the sliding glass door and they would just stay there eating the corn off the cobs. One night I was out and the one that always came up on my deck was outback with 6 baby racoons where following her and I went outside they turned around to come to me. The mother just stopped looked at me, I wanted to pick one up but since she and I had a relationship I didn't, i told her she had beautiful little ones and went back to the deck. She stayed there wasn't watching me anymore just waited for her little ones to come back to her. She use to sleep in a tree out back for s number of years. She would lay in the Y shape of the tree in the morning then go up into the hole that I could see. Have possums, sometime the racoon and possum would growl at each other over corn, so I'd throw out another and one of them would go to it, usually the possum. The are Bald Eagles out back there are 2 nest close by. I've seen a red tail fox, numerous other types of eagles and other birds. I don't feel like I was a good father. I didn't do much with my kids. I was in a accident and recieved damage to back and neck had to have surguries. Being disabled made me depressed, anxiety real bad. I wanted to get out in my mind I wanted to get outside. I was healthy muscular always hiking, bird watching, well just animal watching. I look though the woods and catch movement and then try to get people to see them. I love what you doing what type of animals come around and do you see. How old is your dad he seems so knowledgeable and sure does his share of work that's for sure. Do you know about plants you can eat and medicinal use. Your dad at the end was talking about all the trees new growth. Any botanist or just love of Mother Earth and what she has to offer. We the people of the world sure have taken advantage of and abused her so bad we can never undo it, but She'll do it on her own.

[@drtonyrotherham2904]

Glad you took the right decision and went back home for the night!

[@christiansorensen7567]

Just glad it's not something like Lyme disease. I've gotten it the past two summers for going out into the woods. I would add checking for bites, burrowing, and bullseyes if you're ever sick like that outdoors.

[@TAOutdoors]

Yeah this one is always on my mind! Did you get it sorted with antibiotics?

[@christiansorensen7567]

​@@TAOutdoors I did Doxycycline courses, but it takes months now to get it into the dormant state, since it was caught soo late. I'm not seeing clear UK maps for infection rates, but I'm in one of the most saturated areas in the U.S.

Thank you for talking on what you are doing. Some do not and it is hard to learn what they are doing.

I'm glad you are feeling better, Mike! Being ill is definitely no party, and having to drive while you feel like you're going to be sick is just awful .

It's a bummer that what started as an overnight adventure ended as it did. I can attest that raw meat and room temperatures don't mix. Food poisoning is definitely no fun. It was smart that you headed home. Hope all is well with the wife and family. Cheers for better times ahead! An overnighter with your Dad would be a fun episode. He's quite the character.

I agree, food poisoning is extremely painful! But normally you are supposed to consumed minced beed in the 24h after it has prepared, once it's out of the fridge you have to cook it or throw it away... But I imagine the lesson's learned! Give a hug to your dad for me would you Love from France

[@awraith4569]

Eat more curry

[@goreyfantod5213]

He might have been able to get away with eating it if it had been fully cooked through & held at a high enough temperature for 10+ minutes, such as in a Bolognese sauce or casserole, etc. As hamburgers, the meat in the centre would have been less likely to come up to a high enough temperature, especially cooked over an open fire that would have charred the outside long before the middle was done.

[@spacekat8249]

@goreyfantod5213 Exactly!

[@DrAdams-fx6gy]

Yes your cabin need quite abit of cleaning or putting things into place. If possible have a place for everything and when finished using it put it back where it goes. Saves you from looking for things but most of all when you return to your cabin everything is in place so you can do the chores needed and settle in to enjoy the night. It's great to hear the animals and the birds singing during the evening and when waking has to be a wonderful thing to wakeup to.

[@marylynne9104]

Yes, that type of

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

Mike, sorry you got sick. But hey, it happens. I've got one of those awnings, and when I have to pitch it myself, I always attach the side poles first. This makes it "stiffer" when it's time to put down the vertical poles. Glad you're better now, and there's always another opportunity to spend time in the woods.

[@tamihegwood]

I loved seeing Gpa carrying Jax. Always a pleasure to watch you guys.

It would be nice if you buy screens that hang with velcro and open & close with magnets (Harbor Freight). Keeps all bugs, mosquitoes and gnats out! Love the cabin! Yes hamburger meat can grow bacteria quite quickly when not refrigerated properly or on an ice bed while cooking (& covered).

We are glad you made the right decision or you may ended up in an ambulance! When you mentioned about no bug in your cabin, I think of you could make two Mesh scene for both window in the cabin with Velcro on the edge of the mesh. An easy solution to keep bug from getting inside while your cabin have a good air flow.

[@wendybutler1681]

My Dad built an outdoor grill/oven out of bricks before I was born in 1957. Far more elaborate than yours but you sure brought some memories back! The huge trays of corn on the cob steamed under wet gunny sacks from the oven and the racks of chicken pieces coming off the grill! I was sooo impressed by my Daddy. How did he know how to do that? Do yourselves a huge favor. Ask your parents and grands questions about their life stories. Ask about first jobs, first cars, what they did for fun as teens, what their home lives were like. What kind of entertainment did they find? Any traveling? Any mistakes or successes that changed their path? Ask about hairstyles, favorite clothing styles, even what their underwear was like. My parents were teens in the 1930s. Everything in their world was so vastly different than the world I came of age in the 70s. My folks are gone and there are so many things I wished I would have asked. Dad reminised more than Mom ever did. I wish I had known them better.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Hello from northern Canada :) Great looking little cabin my friend ! I like the live edge siding I just about did that on my cabin but decided on board & batten :) I done a lot of cutting last summer so the wood had time to dry , now trying to get it on before winter :) I live 100% off grid for the last 11 years & love it, Just trying to get the siding done it's been slow after my injury back on July 1st but slowly getting back at it :)) Take care stay safe"
