I'm moving into the woods alone

[@joeapp5774]

I lived alone in the woods for five years until I decided to return to civilization (big mistake) seven years ago. There are four things I'd recommend you do right off the bat: 1.) As other people here have suggested, get a couple of dogs. Not only are they great companions but they're the best early warning system you could have regarding the presence of wild animals and people. 2.) Get armed. I had never owned a gun before I lived in the woods alone, but when I woke one morning not long after I moved into my cabin to find a black bear literally staring at me through my bedroom window licking the glass I decided to arm up. Most encounters I had with both wild animals and the occasional stranger were uneventful and innocuous. However, there will be exceptions. You can count on it. It's always best to be prepared. 3.) Stock up on at least a month's worth (preferably two) of food and water. If you live in a cold weather state and intend to reside in your cabin through the winter, you might end up snowed in for days or even weeks at a time depending on how far off the beaten path you are. Which leads to #4. 4.) Get to know your neighbors and local county sheriff. I moved to an isolated spot to be alone. I'm guessing you did too. However, there are times when you may need the help of other people. In case of an emergency, especially one that results in you being incapacitated somehow, your neighbors performing periodic welfare checks on you may be the only thing that prevents you from dying a long, slow, agonizing death all alone in the woods. Regular check ins with your local sheriff will help keep you up to speed on anything unusual that may be happening in your area. My local sheriff would also call me after bad storms to see if I was okay. The more people you have looking out for you the better. Good luck.

The following probably doesn't matter much to you right now, but I do have some potentially exciting news too (pregnancy update): Shortly after you last heard from me, I noticed what appeared to be a developing "baby bump"! My joy and elation were comparable to what I'm feeling from you in this video...I immediately decided to get into my best possible physical shape, to make for an easier birthing experience! That's all I have to share at the moment, but hopefully I'll have another update in time for your next video! (PS: I loved where you helped the bee!)

I loved living in the woods alone. Yes, you need dogs. Don't compost in the open. It will attract rats, raccoons and bears etc... When I lived in the woods (for 18 years) in the winter, when I couldn't get to the store, I would feed my dogs oatmeal with table scraps. Burn everything paper that burns and recycle as much as possible. Keep more firewood than you think that you need. Pinecones make great fire starter.

You can also compost everything paper - I started out burning it and having ash rain down on my yard lol, not a big issue but I fit several trash cans of paper into one large trash can, topped it off with dirt and I can see it decompose and sink down as the weeks go by.

Insulate everything, most importantly the roof. With a wood stove, the intense heat will go up to the roof deck and react with the cold of the actual roof and cause nasty condensation. That can cause mold. Just remember this, if there are no leaks or signs of mold now, and you start to add insulation where it wasn't before, be extremely cautious and make sure that there is proper ventilation on the back, outer wall side, of the insulation. Same for the roof. Research insulation roof batten and how to stop condensation / mold. Trust me. And good luck! Looks amazing

what ive found with wood heat is yeah you have to fiddle with it but it is the driest type of heat that soaks into the house and warms my bones. and the labor of chopping and stacking the wood is no problem because it is direct. there is nobody stopping at each woodburning persons pile with a dump truck saying "i'll take two of those" and theres no b.s. fees like what utilities tack on to the kwh usage. theres no commuting to a job to convert money into heat. the ambience of a fire is to die for and its better than tv!

We lived on the east coast, said 'the hell with it', and left with literally our last paycheck and the clothes on our back. We liquidated everything we had ( except of course family value stuff).

I think that the 'first' house without the water is a better place to set up your long term living. It's cleaner, in better shape, and doesn't have the sloping foundation. You're going to gut the kitchen anyway, so just take all of the appliances out and move them over to the smaller place. Then you can tear out the kitchen and the living area in the 'second' cabin and use it as a shop. Don't worry about the current capacity of the electrical. Normal power tools will be fine.

[@aubieal0878]

Sarah E.R.D then the electrical and getting water run to the cabin needs to be priority 1, moving appliances over, and leaving space for washer/dryer. Then start big cabin renovation. You can always move to the big cabin and make the smaller #2 cabin your workshop when you see them both completed.

The only advice I can offer comes from an experience from when I was a child. Even if you love nature surrounding your cottages, you might want to take the bigger trees down so they don't blow down during a storm and crush your home. That's all I can offer because this is your place. Plan, budget for taxes and have a bit of happiness that this place is now yours. As to the rear where the kitchen is sloped, check for rot. If its not rotten, the ground might have gotten soggy, and the blocks have sunken into the ground. Use a hydraulic bottle jack, one larger then you think you need, and have experienced help. You never know what can happen, so please don't do it alone. Edit - Wow. You took that bee out of there like no woman I've known before. You are no shrinking violet. You'll be fine.

We outgrow people, places, jobs, situations. We are allowed to change. V life isn’t a religion with hard and fast rules one must adhere to. Van life is about finding what makes your soul happy, in whatever facet that may present itself. We all have holes. We all fill those holes with things, pets, activities, hopes, dreams. Life isn’t always easy or happy but doing this makes it livable. Let someone else do what they need to feel happy.

@@ErehErehErin I have had panic attacks and I found taking magnesium (Mg) citrate powder REALLY REALLY helps. I add a teaspoon of it in my 20 ounce water bottle in the morning and I have another bottle about an hour before bed. I add a half packet of Crystal Light To-Go lemonade flavoring for flavor. It calms my nerves so I can sleep. PLEASE try it. You can get it from Walmart, Spring Valley brand is just as good and half the price as the name brand CALM. Magnesium is one of the essential minerals (along with calcium, potassium and sodium) but most people are deficient in it due to our poor , nutrient deficient soils where our food is grown nowadays. Also, magnesium is the "calming mineral" and acts on the brain to keep you from being stressed. It is stored in your bones but the more stress you have, the more it gets depleted and the more you feel anxious. You need to supplement Mg even if you are taking Paxil or something for Panic Disorder. Please give it a try. It changed my life and I never let a day go by without having my "mineral water". :-)

There is a really good video of a French guy who has been doing this for years he has some drain holes in his waste bucket and after a few months his compost has broken down and he reuses the compost. The smell is what got me because outhouses smell terrible and this doesn’t sometimes it will have a faint smell for a while but it doesn’t last long. And it beats the heck out of going outside at night in the rain 🌧 and snow with the bears 🐻 and bugs 🐛 but that’s up to you I guess. 🧐
