Getting Cabin Chores Done-Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin

[@zenjamin6262]

There is somthing about Martins voice that calms the soul, he could get paid to read stories

[@5150Bud]

Many have said that.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I do have a few short stories I keep meaning to read by the woodstove.

[@nancyl3843]

Of all the shows I watch that are similar to yours, you have, bar none, the best wood stove. It's a real beauty!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

A Jotul given to the cabin so it would have a good home after having served him so well.

[@toddkozakiewicz8770]

Videos of time inside your cabin are sure nice. Your happy place is a happy place for many. Have a good week Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, so happy to be able to share them.

[@weaver7249]

Thank you for this installment and I really like your pot collection. Martin your still the best! Thank you from North Carolina.!

[@5150Bud]

Thanks from South Carolina!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So many pots dishes can wait a spell.

[@jacksanders7018]

Always a treat when you invite us for a glimpse of life at the cabin, safe travel. Thanks.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So nice to have everyone with me there.

[@jan6293]

Martin, sounds like a good visit to the cabin this trip. I like how you roll with the punches! Thanks 😀

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

No since in resisting at this stage.

[@bruinsfan8278]

You cant beat a World Famous Apple Pie, Cabin fresh from Vonnies kitchen to yours! I. Thank You Sir !

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You got that right, plan to move back to Cherry for a while.

[@williammeek7218]

You are so relaxed out there Martin. Your cabin is so nice and clean. You are right at home there.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You noticed!

[@dougmiller8099]

Another great video Martin. Your bird identifying is remarkable !

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Many thanks , birding is one of my favorite activities

[@Home-11]

Never have I seen a woodpecker with a yellow head! A great time at the cabin watching procrastination in full swing! Oh, yeah, with cherry 🍒 pie 🥧 😋 Have a great week Martin. 😁

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Just pure fun for an old man.

[@dubemccready7438]

Love all those quirky idea's that you do around the cabin Martin, could be good for all those younger Off The Grid people, these tips easy and do-able. Life is being good to you? anyway always enjoy viewing your video;s. travel well and be safe. Cheers Martin

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hope so!

[@stevenm8429]

Loving life Martin! awesome.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

[@Julia21d]

Thank you for such a wonderful video. The cold winter air must be so crisp and fresh. Spring will be here soon with all of its beauty. ☀️🙏

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So nice of you

[@PumpkinVillage]

Another great video. Always good to take some time for relaxing and goofing off. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Right , all work is not a good recipe.

[@dannylawson9320]

Sipping hot coffee and relaxing while watching your presentation here in Michigan. Great way to start off a Saturday.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Sounds like a script I could have written.

[@suezaple4950]

Now that was a cool looking woodpecker have not seen one of those.Always good to spend time at the cabin with you and hear whats been going on. thanks Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

The unique birds are a nice perk of traveling north to the cabin.

[@jamessefton3680]

Hey Martin always a pleasure to start the day with you at the cabin and when you use the gas lantern you get the heat from it also 👍✌️

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It sure does, I just do not like that roar when it is cranked on high.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I like seeing 'inside the cabin' footage. Those pancakes look good!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

They are!

[@jeanadamsick9854]

YOU CAN TAKE REST BREAKS BECAUSE THE WAY YOU LABOR IT'S WARRENTED!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE YOU NEED A REST. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO YOU & YOURS, MARTIN!!!!!! Do take care. Fl.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Some days I do get pretty worn out.

[@carymatthews3199]

If all could be as you with your amazing cabin and Pure and Peaceful surroundings no endless traffic noises the endless senseless hustle and bustle that this insane world goes about in it's always a joy to see your sharing of such a PEACEFUL EASY life and times there one self and the birds and all the beauty of your surroundings

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Well said!

[@user-rn8ge1nq8t]

Awesome share/video sir!! Thank you!! If anyone deserve a break it's you!! God bless you and your family !! (USA LOVER)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thank you kindly

[@chrishelms1967]

Great video as always

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good to hear.

[@DizzyLizzy-lv7zf]

Martin I think it would be a great idea to put a pourch on your cabin. It would be a good place for coffee.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I will have a porch on the one we are putting up but hate to mess with the old one. The new cabin project actually started with the thought of a gazebo to drink my coffee in.

[@mroy88]

Hey Martin! Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday! Have a great day good sir!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, they keep piling up, 73 today.

[@johnmccormick175]

Great spot,love your cabin..stay safe Martin

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

ALways on my mind.

[@marianfrances4959]

He he...everybody needs days like this. Especially if there are Vonnie's world famous pies involved. Interesting bird count. Thanks for sharing the cabin experience! 👍😎🇨🇦🔥🪶🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I get more times like this than you would think.

[@badcompany3057]

Always enjoy your vids.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad to hear it

[@helenhull7768]

You have a great attitude and I love your video. Take care😊

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@bobbynash282]

Good morning 🌄 from Alabama Martin. Hope your trip was great. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

This trip was great and so was the next one I snuck in with the mild winter up there.

[@robberntson8934]

If you got the weather that we had (SE Sask, Canada) last week there will be no shortage of snow at the cabin now. 20" plus a real nasty wind.... as in 40 mph.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I need to check that out, still really mild here in IL.

[@MichaelKilby]

God bless you!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

thanks

[@vincentdsnt]

Yes just sit back and enjoy the content !

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

That is why I do it, to much to keep to myself.

[@littlehillsidehomestead6362]

Thanks! Never disappointed!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

My goal, the woodcutting did get to be a little much but I did want to document it well.

[@countrymule9623]

I haven't heard Floyd Cramer in decades. Mom was a avid piano player and he was one of her favorites. I never get tired of seeing the snow and all the wildlife! Sorta ready to see you bust out that collection of mowers. Martin you are the OG of lawn mower modification's!!!!!!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Things may be growing early this year

[@countrymule9623]

I'm looking forward to your collection getting back to work Martin!!!!@@TheNorthwoodsman1

[@melshea2519]

Happy Saturday Martin 🇲🇫 😊

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

And to you also.

[@beaandmaddy6623]

Enjoyed your stay and love to Vonnie.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Will do.

[@user-mm3nn1dz8c]

Great relaxing video. Thanks.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good to hear that day worked out for you too.

[@joeyjennings9548]

you named the things that put me to relax & projects get not so important. ive pushed myself in the past to get on things.. now its a little voice saying it can wait.. 😂

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are learning.

[@martinberry1960]

From one Martin to another, "You got it made brother".

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Martin, I sure do.

So glad!

[@robertsimard735]

Saturday morning, coffee and Martin’s cabin. Life is good up here in northern Ontario. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Making plans for a summer fly-in canoe trip to Rundle Lake south of Dogskin.

[@backcountrypipe]

Always a pleasure to watch a winter time cabin video. Regards Mark

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Many thanks! Hardly a real MN winter this year but great for getting some lumber ready for new cabin.

[@davidferguson9213]

Thank You!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks David.

[@lesterwicklein717]

Good Morning

A belated mornin back to you.

[@andrewpalmer1630]

Hey Martin!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hey, good to have you here.

[@jyrbr9292]

Floyd Cramer and Henry Mancini Awesome music

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Even better in that cabin.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Dont work to hard - enjoy your time

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Can I print and frame that comment?

[@DaveCollierCamping]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 you sure can

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Just an idea, but maybe use a snow roof rake to clear that solar panel block. No ladder required lol

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I have a rubber scraper on a pole but when it freezes on I need go get up there.

[@user-ik4fd9ny4b]

Sunshine - hours in the day - I tell you, from June through August I can rise at 5:30/6:00 so easy. November through March, 7:30 am, I can't get up. Do my eyes deceive me? Those aren't new pants are they? Say it ain't so! The others look nicely broken in!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

NO- neve new but just another pair brought out after an earlier set were tossed into the fire rather than the washing machine.

[@emilyneal7888]

Nothing like Saturday at the cabin. Making some pancakes now myself. 😅

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Enjoy

[@joanntucker2742]

Like your video 🖐️👍 nothing like flord Cramer

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You got that right! So pleasurable sitting stoveside with him playing.

BRUSH OFF PANELS WITH SHOP BROOM ON LONG POLE.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I try but when it frozen I need to do the ladder thing.

[@bobwallace6812]

Hey Martin, I just want to make sure you stay safe. Is it ok to have that propane tank inside under your cooking area?. I really enjoy your videos, thank you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I check for leaks every time I change out the tank. In winter it may not work outside at -30.

[@michaelsim492]

Yet another good Video, never feel guilty about taking it easy Map, you earned that, cheers from your Canuck viewer 👍

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I will take you up on the OK to rest.

[@ratsmacker3702]

That Ottoman isn't going to last long with you kicking it around like that.

And ????? It is his ottoman. Do you like people telling you how to live in your home? I think not. Please try to be kind.

[@ratsmacker3702]

@@naomiemoore5725 it was a joke, you're a little too serious

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It's all good, sometimes jokes can go unnoticed when in print. I often edit out a comment I made in a video because in review it did not come out like I intended.

[@keepugessn]

Related to Floyd 😊

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Awesome

[@islandlakerc3295]

Haven't seen Cabin Partner Jim in a while. Is he hanging out with Grown Man David?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Jim is healing from a knee clean-up

[@wildwillyprepper]

You’re frying pans your pots hanging on the wall your coffee makers, your coffee pots and even the plates that you’re eating off of, I have all the exact identical stuff here in my kitchen. now I don’t know what that says about me either We both have incredible taste or it’s time for me to update my kitchen apparel

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

OH, if you update let me know I may need a few precious replacements. When things get old enough they are cool again.

[@mikel5800]

Martin, I'm curious. Near the end of the clip, above your head to the right near the roof line, between a hanging note book and brown cap is what looks like a white hat of some sort. May I ask what that is?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It is a very heavy wool dome that came from a Christmas decoration but I snagged it for a tea cozy for cold outside teaparties.

[@mikel5800]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Aha! I can see it now. The attached white "Pom Poms" had me scratching my head as to purpose. Thank you...

[@mikel5800]

@TheNorthwoodsman1 I suppose also suitable as a stylish head warmer for a frigid nights trip to the Donniker.

[@andyhumm1419]

Can you do a vid about your wood stove? Never saw a stove like that.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It is a Jotul 606. A lot of info out on the net about it.

[@skline1398]

How do you connect the batteries to the cabin, under ground wire?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I rotate the batteries as needed. Charging batteries puts off a gas so I did not run a wire into the cabin.

[@phillipbremer7715]

thats the thing its hard bed rest vs going one time just got say i need this i need power nap i need the rest like whole reason you go some where sad part is everyone does same thing you thing or know i am alone wait here comes snow mobils here comes ski never surpised go to out house in middle no where knock knock you done yet like what the hell never ends

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Not very many guests wandering around my cabin as no machines can get there easily.

Where is Jim ?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

They cleaned up his knee and he is mending.

At least the pies can come up from IL to cut my workload at the cabin.

SO happy to do this.

[@geraldnichols1853]

Headed up tomorrow for 3 days to get some firewood cut before the bugs arrive. Great time to do it no snow and no bugs.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It has been a winter to get some of that work done. I get in one more trip after this one.

[@geraldnichols1853]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 nice! Have you got all of your logs for the new cabin build? I'm sure that's a lot of work

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I should have enough logs peeled on site and now have all the floor planks sawed and the roof boards sawed and stickered up.
