Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin #25 Enjoyment off the Grid

[@sekusel]

I believe in the heart of most men is a longing to have a cabin in the woods. We all need a place of refuge. Your videos take us to that spot.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

That is the best thing about this channel, so many get to enjoy such a great cabin.

[@thornwarbler]

If ever there was a little slice of heaven that's it right there. Long may your cup remain in the cupboard.

Thanks, I will cherish every visit.

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 What happened to the two shorts corner logs you put up so it would look more normal ?? Did a bird knock them off ?? I noticed they were missing in this video.. I always notice things in great detail, that is one of my traits in my personality..

[@harvdog5669]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Yeah, and if you go outside you have an even better view. Lol lol 😆. I am just being funny...love your 100 yr old cabin..

[@larryjacobs5713]

Marty you deserve to relax more than anyone else I know! Anyone who could raise the cabin without destroying it or themselves deserves to take the rest of their life to relax!

[@SnowinSummer37]

This was simply a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I too feel this video turned out extra special.

[@Nortekj]

Back several years ago (48 years to be exact) there were 5 of us in a group that used to hunt together each year, like you we had our own little cabin that had been built by all of us. Each weekend from the middle of September to the last of January, we would all gather and stay to Late Sunday evening until it was time to leave as we all had jobs. One by one, they were called "Home" by the Big Guy in the sky, some died from natural causes some by accidents, myself being the eldest of the group, am now the only one left to tell of the fun and enjoyable times we had spent together, I surely do miss each and every one more and more each day, I know for a fact that getting old and being the last of the " Mohicans" is a lonely road to travel at times especially when the memories comes calling on a person. The cabin has long since been torn down about 7 years ago as one of the group inherited it from his parents and had joined them in eternal sleep, the farm was sold and then subdivided, so even that is just a memory. I seldom see any of their family and it's my guess that most of the guys wives are now gone too. The last one of the group passed away 4 years ago 6 months after his wife died.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for the story of your group. A similar hunting group had the cabin before me and I was able to purchase it when the last man standing knew his times up there were over.

[@Nortekj]

The cabin we had wasn't a log type cabin it was built like modern houses are constructed, (stick built), it had one large bunk room and a large living room with a kitchenette off to one side, it had 2 wood burning stoves, one for main heat the other was a wood burning kitchen stove, it was so heavy that it took all 5 of us to get in in the building. At the time neither of us thought to take pictures of the cabin during the stages of construction or afterwards which was a mistake we all had made as none is in existence that I am aware of. We were all to anxious to get it finished and then the thoughts of harvesting the various animal "trophies" of the season once it was completed a the companionship we all shared when together. but in my mind I can still see it perfectly in all it's glory. As I had stated, I was the eldest of the group and oddly enough, the youngest of the group was the first one to die. He was killed when riding a motorcycle and run off the road by a drunk driver and died instantly when he slid into concrete barrier wall, he was 31 at the time, 2 died from cancer and the last one to pass away died from a heart attack. The memories surely brings back lots of laughter we all had when playing pranks on each other and also a few tears to the eyes when reality brings you back to the present time.

[@brentcarrington2291]

Nortekj, heartwarming recollection of happy times was nice. Like Rose said in Titanic..”he exists now only in my memory”…..Thanks for sharing your memories…

[@offgridgetawaycamp8034]

That is exactly why I like it up at the camp. Peace and quite. In the morning we wake up with the sound of a wood pecker pecking the trees. No alarm clock needed.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We are in full agreement on how to wake up, I detest alarm clocks.

[@mikerogers9711]

Such a sad ending, keep your cup in the cupboard, you are alone at the cabin,but they are still there with you. Watching, laughing and helping.

[@yellooh]

Amazing to see orchids. I had no idea they survive in cold weather. We learn something new on this channel always.

[@williamblakeley3744]

dont no if your still Alive But you inspire me....I love the wilderness & you bring it to me. ✌thank you MARTIN .

[@mathbrown9099]

I’m so at home with your vids on my iPad. I am not old, but too tired for a time to do much. Your vids help the time pass in positive ways. I really do appreciate these, very much.

[@BlueHills1]

What a treat! I'd been waiting for a couple of months to see your next video...and THREE of them went up without me noticing. I appreciate your style and strength. Life can be short...best to be grateful and thankful for all that we have. Thanks Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

One more to post from the spring trip, a walk to Sven's cabin site.

[@silvermaple7779]

I never thought I would feel tranquility through a computer screen, but you manage to pull it off every time. May your mug stay off the wall for a long, long, long time......thanks for sharing.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I am so happy that the tramquility comes out as I share this through the camera.

[@kathleencrepeau2063]

Loved your views, too, of all of God's creation...you are a good caretaker Martin! :)Thank you for sharing them with all of us! :) Cheers...to old friends & new! :)

[@tomt7254]

Great video Martin, I enjoyed it. Lots of history and good friends gone, lots of memories but you and the cabin and the gray jays remain.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, this is a video I will be watching when I can no longer make the trip.

[@TS-bn7zt]

The circle of life is all around us . All that lives must inevitably pass on. It is so sad when we lose family and friends but that is the circle of life. Your wonderful cabin vids always make me happy and put a smile on my face. Amongst other things, they make me reflect on my own life. God bless you and the people who we have lost along the way. Many thanks for yet another super vid. Much appreciated.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, this video sure came out a lot different than expected when I put the pieces together.

[@TS-bn7zt]

TheNorthwoodsman1 Thankyou Martin.

[@bobchauncey63]

Martin has a place for everything...and everything in its place...very organized...well done.

Thank you, I am making a list of content ideas for the next trip to the cabin.

[@901ronnie]

WOW -If God wanted to go on vacation he probably would make a reservation at the cabin. May your Irish Cup remain in the cupboard for many more years. Love the videos!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, the cabin is such a blessing I would even do all the chores in thanks if he does.

[@coolwheelz5190]

Love your videos! I like the coffee cup idea. Your friends may be gone, but their memories are still alive in that tribute and are always with you at the cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, it is nice to at least have their cups up there.

[@morningdove3140]

The sound of your voice is perfect for these videos. My family use to go to the Colorado mountains ever year to deer camp.Now most are gone.Wish I could go back to those days..

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Like me you can cherish and think back of those earlier times.

[@jvatell6111]

Everything is looking darn good Martin. All work and no play makes for a boring life (and a resentful one many times). I am glad to see you enjoying your cabin and life up there. It was very nice of you to make a memorial to the ones that have passed on. I am sure they are looking down with a big smile that you remembered them. As always thanks for sharing! :-)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for the nice note. A healthy mix of work and play is my goal up there. I can sit only so long so it is nice to have projects to tinker with.

[@jvatell6111]

I know the feeling about sitting...my wife always scolds me that I can't sit still and just relax for a day...I said I'll have plenty of time for that one day and then I...let's put it this way my mug will be up there on a wall somewhere. As always Martin thank you for the enjoyable and "RELAXING" videos! :-)

[@jaygrenham]

You've got a wonderful soul and each video is just an absolute pleasure to watch!I'm not sure of your age...but I'm recently 60 and hope I'm still spry like you are!!! The coffee cup memorial made me tear up!!! Beautiful !

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I ponder that wall a few times on each trip and it can get emotional at times.

Martin i came across your channel saw the old log cabin and checked it out , i follow Kyle's Cabin he built in the Superior National Forest I was driving at night to Ely many years ago with a friend through the forest when a Bull Moose stepped out into the road he looked at me shook his head and walked back into the woods. Like the wall of Memories old friend and history of the cabin nice touch to sit and remissness with a cup of coffee

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Welcome aboard. Good that that moose left you alone, sometimes they don't.

[@scottk0623]

Martin thanks for the nice share and tribute to those who are still close at the cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, the cups on the wall keep them there for me.

[@wannabeoffgrid701]

what an awesome spot for a cabin. can't get enough of your videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It is quite the palace, a DNR surveyor stopped in one day and said he had been all over the state of MN but had never seen a cabin in such a great setting.

[@rickyhuie6365]

Hi Martin. My name is Ricky. I am 62 and I enjoy watching your videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for the note Ricky.

I can't think you enough for your videos. Like Paul said, it's better to be with the Lord but while we're down here to cherish His blessings.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Well said, I appreciate my stays at the cabin and with the quiet it is easier to ponder the wonder of eternity.

[@bonescdxx]

Yes. One day someone will put your cup up there, but hopefully many seasons from now. I enjoy your videos. I hope to continue enjoying them. The simplicity and solitude are like a tonic.

I am from a small town close to mountains, but spent most of my life based in urban environments in what is usually regarded as a high stress occupation. These videos are......restful!

[@guysview]

Having grown up in Minnesota when I watch your videos and hear the sound of insects I start getting freaked out and looking around the room. Minnesota state bird being the mosquito.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

The mosquito can really sound off when it is next to the microphone. I think bugs crawling across the lens can get people squirming too.

[@d.o2854]

Greetings Martin from the west of Ireland and thanks for posting these great videos about your cabin and the interesting things you do on your visits there, the woods look so peaceful even when the snow is laid down, I hope you enjoy many more visits there and thanks again for sharing this with us.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Andrew, we started a fantastic month in Ireland in Kilkee and worked our way all around your great country.

[@TheRatshooter]

Well, this gave me a feeling of what we share. Good friends, some no longer living. Good times shared. Peace and relaxation. I told my friends with whom I share an annual pheasant hunting trip to Montana: Soon, we'll be unable to make the trip we've enjoyed. If I'm the last, I'll return one more time, and walk the fields as best I can, and sit on my favorite rock, and remember our friendship.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Well said my friend.

How have you been Martin? I think this is one of the few videos I must have missed. What a tribute to your friends! I havent been out by your place in Illinois but I enjoyed chatting with you and your friend Jim that day i stopped by and met you guys.

[@shnobi24]

Something so small yet so beautiful

[@JanetWilham]

old trick to keep mice away==get you some clove oil, pour it in a spray bottle ad a few drops of dish liquid and water and spritz around baseboards and areas even the door and window seals. I learned this from the Amish and I never have mice now. God bless and love your videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I am going to try that. I would settle with keeping them a distance from the kitchen stove.

[@davidwootton683]

I grew up in Ireland, so I was interested in your 'T' Shirt. Thanks for the videos and greetings from Africa.
