Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin #21 Arrival at the Cabin

Making the trek into the MN cabin and setting it up for a two week stay. Starting the propane refrigerator and setting up a few solar panels are some of the chores that need done upon arrival.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Got everything you need right there!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, it is a turn key operation. I usually would only have to bring in some fresh food to supplement the staples stored there.

[@lorill2631]

My husband and I have visited and love Ely for many years. It a pleasure beyond words watching your videos. You have created a wilderness paradise. Kudos to you and all your blood, sweat and tears!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I enjoy the puttering around and them sitting back in a nice chair and taking it all it.

[@samfinn8397]

This old Michigander is having a great time watching the Northwoodsman's adventures.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Sam, more on the way in the coming weeks. I do not want to wear out my welcome so will space them out.

[@zift18]

I NEVER miss one of these when I see it in my feed! I just love 'em!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, more to come but I will space them out a little.

[@backcountrypipe]

One of my favourite channels on YT. Great video as always. I really like how you keep things simple. No 4wheeler or fancy gimmicks (not that there is anything wrong with that) I like simple and old school. Thanks for taking the time to make a video. Regards Mark

[@robleigh461]

Always a pleasant surprise to see a new cabin video. Thanks for taking us along, Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hi Rob, several more to come in the following weeks.

[@tomt7254]

It's good to see another video. Welcome back to the cabin and thanks for taking us with you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, there are more on the way.

[@gypsyhobo3016]

I love your videos, and look forward to more of them. I am the same way, why spend money, (in my case I have none, lol), when you can make or fix something with all the stuff that you already have or collect along the way, invent a solution to everything! Love seeing others do the same, it's slowly becoming a lost art, but now with technology, I think we can bring it back, young folk are now becoming more resourceful, because hard times are coming, and more and more are becoming aware and learning, thanks to folks like you recording your efforts. Thank you for sharing this ~ Stay Free People!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We see things the same way, that is for sure. When I made that cart from two cast off bikes I was so happy when no visit to the hardware store was needed. Every piece had a different use before I adapted it. More to come as I install a window cut from a combo window someone was throwing out.

[@ralphmollard5474]

Glad to see you again, almost feels like home after watching all you videos. ......over and over. I have a pasture 30 miles from my home and have been spraying musk thistles. This morning it was over cast, 80 degrees and no wind. Felt so good taking a relaxing ride in my RZR and seeing nothing but grass and hills for miles and miles. Great it is to be alone away from all the rat race. Just injoying nature........often makes me wonder what Heaven will be like. Then I watch you videos and remember. .....the Northwoods....that's heaven!!!! ☺.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, my little Eden makes me wonder how great it is going to be later.

[@stephenmoore2754]

Your videos take me back 50 years to time spent with my grandfather in a cabin similar to yours. Like you, he used to find ingenious uses for things he found such as the metal you put around your cupboards, and your kitchen shelf. I have enjoyed all your videos. It feels like spending time there in Martin's Cabin in the North Woods. Thanks for putting these out. You have no idea how they brighten up the day!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Comments like yours brighten my day because it means my camera is capturing more than images.

[@danilkopaskudnik3002]

when i grow up i wanna be like u .. martin..

[@lindasischo224]

Just found this great site. So glad I did. As I was watching and seeing what a knowledgable man he is makes u wonder when this generation is gone what will the current generation do? Most of them cant handle much beyond themselves. What a treasure this man is.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hopefully KZbin will the replacement for the Fox Fire series of how-to books with all the old ways well described.

[@theyangview1898]

Is this comment from his wife Vonnie???

[@59chevt]

I am glad you are back and looking forward to more vids thanks.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, more to come after I get back to editing.

[@jefferyjohneverett]

I've always like this channel mainly because it's so remote it's a outdoors mans dream come true! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🚐💨💨💨🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, I still need to pinch myself sometimes to make sure.

[@SteveMac.]

New subscriber. I've binge-watched all your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them all!. Living vicariously until I can retire...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Steve, there will be a few more coming up.

[@Mikesorrento3344]

Glad you are back, I really enjoy your videos. I can't wait until the day I do the same thing. Raising a family now but long for the simple life. Thank you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks John, I hope your later years provide you with a restful place like mine. Those kids will be gone too soon so relish the time you have them close by.

[@edwardballow2268]

I have the same thoughts when I turn the last corner and see my cabin - awesome it's still there! Too funny, enjoy your time in paradise.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So you could relate to seeing it still standing and being relieved. Thanks

[@utbsks5078]

I am so happy you are doing another video. Thank you!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

There will be several more on the way. Glad you enjoy them.

[@susanmaguire4452]

You make me smile. :)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

And that is a good thing, hope the same for what is coming up.

[@alldwepak]

Great to see you back after ages. "Welcome!" Your videos are an inspiration, someday I plan on doing the same thing. But thanks for taking us to your cabin, thanks for taking the effort and the time to make these videos. It's always a joy to watch your videos on the cabin life. Wish there was more!....... Thanks all the way from India!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Alan, really special when these notes come from the other side of the world. I have been to northern India a few times and may be passing through this year on my way to Nepal. I must say, truly amazing people on that side of the world.

[@alldwepak]

TheNorthwoodsman1 Awesome let me know when ur this side if the world, maybe we can catch up.. Keep up the good work...

[@notsoshortbus1651]

I love that cart I wont throw out another bike again they all will become carts awesome tool

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

In one of my videos I give a few more details about its construction.

[@coolwheelz5190]

Needed a good "burp"......love it! Another great video!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

What else could I say, there may be a technical term for it but really a pretty simple fix some of the time.

[@Ladythyme]

Just found your channel... I wish my dad was still alive. Watching you would be right up his alley. What you do, repurposing free found things and fixing & creating things inexpensively reminds me so much of him. Thanks for bringing him back to me. Great job on all you do!

[@gypsyhobo3016]

This may sound greedy, but I want more of your channel, lol. Longer videos, more per day, lol, I know that would be hard with all that hard work that you have to get done there. I want to see every part of your day, you are so good at everything you do, even producing and narrating videos! I will watch, anything you put out on here, you should have way more subs! Stay Free People!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, from your comments and others I came to realize that what I think of as ho hum at the cabin can be of interest to others.

[@larryjacobs5713]

So excited about the new video got up at five so I could watch before work, and wasn't disappointed like a visit from a friend.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Larry, maybe I should post the next ones on Friday nights so they have loaded by the time you get up.

[@trytohelpthem1512]

We really enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I am making an effort to make better explanations of how things work around the cabin.

[@peterstean2138]

Martin, your videos are so restful. Thank you again for sharing your time in the woods :)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad they can serve many purposes as folks watch them.

[@paliacho9]

You've got it down to a science. 👍

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I call it tweaking the system.

[@RonKris]

Thanks for taking us along...I'm still impressed with the work you did on the foundation and other task around the cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am happy to be able to share such a great place as the cabin and its wildlife.

[@Spartan-ry1hh]

I look forward to your visits to the cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am so happy to be able to share the visits so easily.

[@lancemumford3106]

It's good to see you back at the cabin!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Lance, got a few more to show you.

[@onemorchatykathy]

It's good to have you back at the cabin. Always enjoy your videos. Just wished they were longer!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, longer can be a slippery slope in making these videos. I do have more coming.

[@caraoosterhouse7348]

Glad to see you posting videos at the cabin for another season. Love your cabin and love the practical set up to bring a little comfort to the back 40.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I enjoy puttering around with the improvements. Having the 12 volt LED lights makes things so much nicer and quieter than a propane lantern.

[@garydunlap1733]

Very nice indeed.....thanks as always for taking us along!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It was fun to do and tried to address a lot of the questions previous videos had raised. Thanks

[@garydunlap1733]

With luck, we who follow you on your northern trips will soon see the canoe make another appearance:)

[@victorhebert5774]

Love your videos. Stay safe, can't wait to see your renovation. God bless

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Victor, I need to get that one edited next.

[@southernladywithmanyhats7428]

I can't wait for more vids! LOVE your channel and can't wait to see the new window in!!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I put the window in early in my visit because I could not wait to see it either.

[@markgonzales4127]

You sir .. are the MAN ... and dig the old Coleman cooler !!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks and I have used those coolers so long I did not realize how old they are.

[@theoldtimeywoodworker2488]

Looking forward to more of your videos. Greetings and salutations from The Netherlands.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Great to hear from the far off places, hope you can stand in when I start woodworking with my chainsaw.

[@edschneider1780]

Glad you're back, thank you for the video!

[@rat4spd]

Your cabin is absolutely fascinating.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, many agree with you.

[@livingwithinyourgreens3887]

Nice to see you back at the cabin, Martin. I always enjoy your videos. Lee

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Lee

[@jimsteele7108]

I love the way you repurpose stuff. the bike cart is really neat.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I always have trouble throwing good materials in the dumpster. I made the cart without one trip to the hardware store.

[@brandoncarlson4188]

Enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It is always nice to hear they are well accepted. Thanks

[@yurinator7274]

Most Excellent video!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you enjoyed another glimpse into the cabin life.

[@jute882]

It is so good to hear from you, Martin!!! We have been checking to see if you posted anything since your winter post. This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I will have several more over the next month to post.

[@luckyvet]

Welcome Back Martin. I was worried, you haven't posted in a while!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

There is always a flurry of new posts after a trip so more on the way.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Really enjoy watching your channel! I went back & am watching your early videos on to present! Very enjoyable to watch.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I started doing the videos so I could go back over them if I can't get to the cabin.

[@scotfalconeroutdoors191]

Always look forward to your videos,full of good information from an intelligent man,thank you

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I try to make them show as much as possible.

[@rogererickson8564]

I love your cabin. If you keep maintaining it properly it should last another 100 years.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Roger, I like the thought of it going on for a long time. The next video will show how it could have gone the other way.

[@tonycarter9406]

Roger Erickson

[@timothymoriarty9734]

Roger Erickson Nice but not much light.

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Thank you for the nice video. Be well and safe.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, more on the way.

[@Xyzabc998]

Good to see you back this year. From Denmark.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

A shout from far away, thanks.

[@ladeene06]

Well sir, a few hours ago I started with #1 and now I'm here (#21). There's still lots of in-between posts for me to watch 😊. I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your videos! I've often wondered (yes, often!) how mankind worked so hard to "tame" the land and spent generations creating creature comforts and easier ways of doing what must be done...and now that it's pretty much been tamed and all of our creative comforts are available at our fingertips...rather than being satisfied at our ingenuity...we deeply crave being back where we originally started? It just ironic that what we had IS really all we truly needed. Also..just to share..I was a single mother of two boys for 7 years. Wasn't the plan, but that's life. I worked some hard physical jobs (basically men jobs for better pay..welfare used to be avoided if at all possible. And I did avoid it) But the point of my story is...I bragged about being able to eat all I wanted because I literally worked it off! No gym needed. And I was proud of that! I joked about it all the time. I was PAID to work out! No gym or trainer needed. It's not rocket science!! I believe Americans would benefit on multiple levels if physical labor was brought back to the norm, for both genders (there is ONLY 2!) . Anyway...I'm babbling Thanks for the wonderful videos! .

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks and give those eyes a rest. My saying for when a hard task is coming up"Think of it as a workout." I think you agree with that one.

[@DeeInTheHouse]

Great job, I always enjoy your vids, have fun and enjoy!!

[@onetruth2014]

God has blessed you with a little slice of heaven.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

that's for sure

[@MrGuy-cp1gt]

The KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND !

[@johnjessen3166]

Thank you for sharing with us and inspiring us wannabe Northlanders. Your work ethic, love of nature, and self can-do spirit give us hope. Best regards. J.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks John.

[@spacenut58]

Welcome back Martin. Great to hear from ya buddy.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I have several more to go with the arrival one.

[@StBernardAcres]

Excellent seeing you again! I finally got started on my own "piece of heaven" cabin. Should be dried in at the end of the month, and get to start enjoying it!

[@larryjacobs5713]

St. Bernard Acres bought and restored cabin in Oregon 2 years ago. Had accident on ladder and haven't been able to get there this summer. Maybe we could have a foram of cabin owners to exchange ideas.

[@JDKvideos]

I hate to see another man suffer from a ladder accident. I broke a vertebra and have permanent nerve damage in left leg. But, I'm still going to do this lifestyle asap!

[@StBernardAcres]

That sounds like a great idea. It suck you had that accident. Hopefully it heals up enough for you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

May you enjoy that cabin as much as I enjoy mine.

[@kenbarr7069]

Martin, you're an extremely cool old dude, I really like watching your videos! You're in great shape to be hiking in summer or winter, impressive! 👍

[@MrGuy-cp1gt]

@NPCs Can’t Laugh ☺☺☺☺

[@ServiceTrek]

glad to see you back at your cabin. the foundation held up great. nice job there. hope you have a lot of fun and bring us along.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I do have more to edit. That window being installed and more.

[@johngerson7335]

Hi Martin! Nice to have you taking us for a Spring visit to the cabin. Good to see you there again, enjoy your visit!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It was nice to get back for the visit and I tried to capture as much with the camera as I could.

[@charleschidester6767]

precisely my plan for retirement. we will keep pur home, its paid for. the cabin was existing on a homestead place we purchased some years ago. i will continue fixing the cabin. my wife will enjoy the home in the city. i will enjoy the cabin. hopefully this joy of a place will add years to my life that working has taken from both of us. love your place. wish we had more flat land.. ours is 13 acres all heavily wooded. and atop a large draw.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Have fun, they make a great place to relax and putter when you want to.

[@leotabaca5476]

Nice to see you back. Have missed you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I will have several more from the trip to post as I edit them.

[@timboyce2883]

good to see you again . was beginning to wonder if we lost one of the better channels on u tube . love your videos . you remind me of my dad , he would have loved your cabin . hope to have one of my own soon .

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks TIm, my long absences are because the cabin is so far away from home. I am trying to spread this trip out over a longer time period to ease the gaps.

[@unitedstatesdale]

We love your updates. And you have taught us a huge amount of useful information.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, on these later videos I am trying to show more detail of what goes on around the cabin.

[@SSPJG3]

Very nice video. I always enjoy you and your cabin in northern Minnesora.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks until next time.

[@Ruger41mag]

Nice to see you again - great vid.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, more videos need to be edited so stay tuned.

[@yveskc1]

good job my friend! great video. ATB -Yves

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@rodneylee4026]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing this special part of your life with all of us. The simple joys of doing something good that you love comes through loud and clear. Keep up the good work, kind sir.

[@mmanut]

Enjoy your videos. Stay safe and watch out for bears. Vinny 👍

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

No bear issues and not fresh sign around the cabin, that is a good thing.

[@rickgreen9936]

Your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch, so glad to see you again. Now I need to go back and rewatch your videos to refresh my memory. I'm sure others will do the same, kind of a tricky way to get your views up : - ) don't mind being tricked like that. Looking forward to the other new ones. ATB Thank you

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hope they bring satisfaction for you the second time around.

[@Em-xu9hc]

I love you cart, that’s so clever! What an amazing cabin. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you like them! Hada lot of good times around that cabin over the years.

[@ramona14220]

"I'm only a mile away but using my cart" classic.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Sometimes when I talk in these videos there are things that are not fully explained. The cart really was made for when I could not get past a wet part of the trail that made it a two mile trek to the cabin. When I can drive in within a mile a wheelbarrow can make a few trips and get the job done.

[@ramona14220]

Just saying most Americans( including me) haven't even walked a mile since high school.

[@theoldtimeywoodworker2488]

ramona14220 If what you are saying is only partly true, then may I say that as a Dutchman that's really shocking to me. Come on USA, you can do better than that.

[@ramona14220]

There are a lot of fit Americans, but in the cities and suburbs, a lot of unfit Americans also. I have been to Europe and have seen plenty of unfit Germans and English. I guess they eat a lot of sausage and drink a lot of good beer. Probably the fittest people I have seen personally walking the streets of their cities are Canadians and Italians though maybe the unfit ones are at work or inside. But Northwoodsman1 looks to be 70+ and in America trundling all that stuff like a pack mule a mile or more through the woods is very rare, even with his cart. Please remember also that there are 300 million Americans so if only half of us are fit that is still more than most of Western Europe combined.

[@theoldtimeywoodworker2488]

ramona14220 Dutchmen come from The Netherlands and there are plenty obese folks around here too. Our diet is very different from Germans or the Brits although by far not as rich in quality as that of the Italians. I have travelled the world extensively for the past 30 odd years and as a friend of the US it has saddened me to see its population get more and more obese. It is something the US have gotten known for. I could never quite grasp why a salad costs the triple amount of a burger and why portions have to be so humongous, not to talk of free refills. Also kids meals at schools are of horrible quality. I wonder where all of this went wrong and why. Furthermore absolute numbers should not be confused with relative numbers. It's not about who has the largest number of fittest, but who has the highest percentage of fittest that defines the healthiest nation. I hope you had the time today to go out for a walk or a ride your bicycle and have taken a step towards a healthier lifestyle.

[@debbiefromillinois532]

Well, this video just made my day!!! I've been wondering when you would check in with us. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, there will be several more form this trip.

[@44musher]

awesome to see you again, everything looks squared away !. The Good wife took care of you again ! cherry pie ! fried chicken ! your doing well !

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, things are well in Martin's world. Thanks

[@beentheredoneization]

So good to see you and the cabin again - Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@michaeldenisCarlin]

good to see you martin...looks just amazing there...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, it is an amazing place.

[@michaeldenisCarlin]

TheNorthwoodsman1 would just love to see some bears wandering through...when i watch your videos im half expecting to see them ...ilooks like heaven there and the cabin is awesome ..greetings martin

[@Tristram9]

As a native Michigander living in Indiana, this makes me a little homesick! Your videos are really one of a kind. Thanks so much for sharing your life, that's no small effort on your part. It looks like a pleasure for you to share. the nature is the draw but it's really your perspective and attitude that strike me. It's just uncommon mild mannered good spirited wisdom in action. I watched all your videos after seeing 30 below and now I'm taking some evenings to sit with my son of 7... here's a man he can learn from. How not to be bored with trees. Contentment. Kindness towards animals. How to do hard work well. Everywhere neat solutions. For me, this experience is a small antidote to what life in civilization can sometimes be reduced down to. It's like being a child again, to take time to care for things softly, without an agenda. I salute you sir... & may God grant you many years! (Ps, for the statistics I'm a millennial, I know I saw a comment about that - and as far as hard work I frame houses with the Amish. It's an unique experience for sure)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for what you see in these videos. I will continue striving to live those standards.

[@bigvrocks2480]

Martin, love your videos. TY!

[@scottk0623]

Thanks for the recipe 😀

[@huhman1000]

Love your videos, great stuff.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, great to know they are enjoyed.

[@adamaj74]

I'm always so happy when I see a new video from you in my feed! I wish you made them more often, haha.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, you will see several more from this trip in the coming weeks. Comments I get from the videos give me ideas for the next trips filming goals. It is not hard to come up with with such a great backdrop.

[@usedtobecool6874]

Great to see ya back

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@INFINITYSWAGGER1]

Love your cabin vids Martin!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, glad to hear they strike a chord with you.

[@moduc996]

Great seeing you back in the cabin ,Keep the videos coming.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Several more just need to be edited and posted. I will space them out every few weeks.

[@RobinLauer]

Nice to see the cabin again.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Robin, even more interesting to you will be the two weeks I spent canoeing in Manitoba's Atikika Prov. Park.

[@RobinLauer]

looking forward to that one

[@fernandochavez4312]

You sir live quite an incredible life! Congratulations and much respect.👍

[@darci12u]

So excited to see you're well and at your cabin,can't wait to see all your projects,have a great time.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

More to come in the following month or two, glad you tuned in.

[@rickyrabbit3689]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Your a practical man.Always a little gem to be found in your videos. You can soak your outer clothes in pryrithene ( yes I know I misspelled it) It will help keep the ticks and chiggers off you for a dozen or so washings

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, permetherin . Spell check is not helping either, can be applied in a tub too.

[@deannakoontz8459]

Having a cabin like yours has been a life long dream of mine. I know I'll never have it but I can still dream of it until my dream stops. I'm too old now . I've missed out on this but I guess it just took me a long time to figure out who I truly am. An outdoor lady! Enjoy enjoy and I envy you sir!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I hope you will continue to enjoy my cabin with me. I find myself using "we" in my dialog because it is like so many are on the visits with me.

[@TUSSCANNY]

Honey your not alone alway wanted a log cabin on a lake in the mountains all my life. Just a grannies dream that never took place. Alway had to do gramps way.

[@movedon12]

Good to see you back👍🏻🇬🇧🙋

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It was so good for me to get back up there.

[@coreygillum12]

This is my happy place. Please make more Martin. I like being happy even if its vicariously. thank you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We are not even half way through this trip so a lot of good time still on the way.

[@SanJuanMountainBob]

I sure enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing the north woods with us.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Happy to show you a little different part of the country.

[@yojimbo6879]

Glad to see you back!

[@LindaBarton777]

welcome back Martin. I look forward to your videos. They are so informative. And Interesting. I'll be watching for updates. God Bless

[@LindaBarton777]

oh and a question. Do you have internet service there?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Not even a hint of cell phone service withing a few miles of the cabin. Satellite phone is used so if I wanted I could pay more and have some internet-not.

[@LindaBarton777]

so how can you be on you tube? your phone? Because the cabin I'm looking at doesn't have any towers close by.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I need to return to IL to edit and post the videos on you tube.

[@khandro5685]

je comprends pas tout!!!! mais les images parlent d'elles mêmes! un bel exemple de courage et d'ingéniosité! merci de cet exemple qui m'inspire!!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thank you, the pictures do show how great it is up there.

[@kevintulak9987]

Nice to see you back at the cabin, I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Kevin, you will be seeing a few more from the trip in the coming weeks.

[@sekusel]

It was a welcomed surprise to see your new video posted on KZbin!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I can promise at least three more that I need to edit.

[@warriorgrandma4392]

i am watching again just cause its such a great video

[@misterEddie129]

Always good to see you back. Love the video.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, some more will be showing up too.

[@727skirk]

Ahhh..... what what I needed : )

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, me too.
