Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin #28 How the Cabin Came Into My Life

[@utbsks5078]

So nice to hear the cabin's history and know you have preserved it for those that will enjoy it in the future- don't forget to carve YOUR initials in the beam too :)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

That is a good idea and maybe a permanent record inscribed someplace.

[@willythewave]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Please do carve your name. :)

[@harvdog5669]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Martin, so how much did the old boy sell you the 40 acres for ?? You never said. I was just curious...

[@charlesnorman791]

A deal was made without any regrets for a lifetime of wonderfull memories.... priceless.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Looking back there is no way I could have known what a blessing that run down cabin was going to turn into.

[@cigarcaptain]

it is a wonderful place you have there. I have spent 35 years in the Jemez mountains here in NM. Now I can barely hobble around. So it is time for new generation to explore and hunt this beautiful area. Being grateful that I was able to experience the outdoors in a way similar to you. Love your videos Martin. thanks

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad to have so many getting enjoyment out of the cabin.

[@bustersmith5569]

I wish there was still a cabin up there for sale ??

[@Berncarp707]

Great story sir. Thank you so much for sharing it. I can tell the cabin and property went to the right person.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, sure happy it ended the way it did.

[@garydunlap1733]

Thanks Martin.....we all live vicariously through your video chats......and canoe trips!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I will keep taking you along.

[@OklahomaBrad]

Honestly, you have done such a good thing with that cabin! So good seeing the steady and faithful work you have done. Keep the videos coming!

[@mmladderhole1168]

Martin, I stumbled onto your channel some time ago and have enjoyed everyone of your videos. This one is one of the best ive seen thanks for sharing the history and your time there. I'm restoring a old "Maine" cabin myself along with my family, we are the fourth owners and hope to pass it on to the next generation who would enjoy for years to come. Thanks again for the Vid's

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you made that stumble and ended up here. You know how great a cabin is.

[@versatec1]

[@johnsweat5247]

Thank you for relating this story, it adds much to the other videos to know this. You found a gem in the rough and turned it into a wonderland. And for $1200, you added more happiness to your life than money can by.

[@dgc7321]

Martin...I'd love to find something like that up here in British Columbia. The Good Lord willing ...I will.

Keep stomping around and who knows what may be waiting.

[@SSPJG3]

That cabin is a true gem Martin. Thanks for sharing it with us. Do you have any future "projects" you hope to get done in the future?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

One last "new" window to install. I want to get some sort of preservative on the logs. I would like a gazebo in the yard with roof panels that could be cranked open to enjoy the northern lights at night.

[@johngerson7335]

Hi Martin! Thanks much for the 'visit' and the story of the Cabin and how you came to be it's owner and steward. So kind of you to share it all with us as you do. There's something very deep, positive and good about you and your story, kind of inscrutable and mysterious (in a good way), but plain to recognize for those with a heart and spirit that are spoken to by such things. Most peaceable and agreeable place to visit in all of "window-world" as far as I can tell. Bless you, and your wonderful place.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thankyou for that John

Seems like there is an unlimited amount of content around that cabin, I just need to keep the camera at arms length so it can be captured and shared.
