Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin #31 Wolf Stories From the Cabin

Tales of wolf encounters from over the years at the cabin and its trails.

[@scotfalconeroutdoors191]

Thanks Martin,you never fail to keep us entertained, thank you

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It is fun putting them together so we all win.

[@cctn2012]

As a boy i loved to hear stories my grand parents uncles and father would tale. Thanks

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I have some more tales to relate later.

[@davestelling]

I'm very fond of these camp stories, I could easily listen all night long. Blessings Your way, Martin...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Dave

[@Mikesorrento3344]

With all the craziness going on in politics and the world, listening to you helps restore some sanity into my life. Thank you!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good medicine from the northcountry.

[@jerrypelletier2328]

Martin you are the definition of total contentment!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I do feel like that while at the cabin.

[@dserp3907]

We watched the whole cabin series today. These stories were the perfect cap to the experience. Enjoyed every moment! How blessed we are that you chose to share this hallowed ground (and the time spent there with friends and family)with the world. Thank you!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome and thank you for such a nice note.

[@larryjacobs5713]

One of the most interesting videos. Martin the more you share the more we see the uniqueness of a life well lived. I cannot thank you enough for being willing to share your unique soul with your fans.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am happy to share what I have been blessed with.

[@jackflanagan4971]

Marty, I so enjoy your yarns about living in the woods and admire all the ingenious tools you have "noodled out" of parts & pieces I look forward to your videos & yet I am glad you don't make too many . look daily for a new one so it's special when you provide a new one. Keep up the great entertainment & again many thanks! John aka Jack

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Jack, they will be coming weekly for a while yet.

[@misterEddie129]

There is something special about your videos Martin. Loving them as always. The cabin is looking great!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I do have a great cast to help me out.

[@tomt7254]

Thanks for the wolf stories Martin. I always look forward to your cabin videos - your cabin is a little wilderness paradise.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am happy to share that little taste of Eden.

[@OaK-_R]

I miss the days of story telling. My grandpa always had stories and I remember just listening, engaged, interested in every detail. No phones, no internet distraction, just free. I'm only 27 years old and I know that most of my generation can't appreciate story telling or cant be engaged in a conversation without looking at there phones. It makes me sad and helps me remember the times I had with my grandpa.

[@larryjacobs5713]

Marty sounds like you have the most valuable things in the world, good memories.

[@99999janice]

As always Martin, wonderful story. Thanks 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome.

[@carolynsparks3164]

Thank you very much for your stories.. I really enjoy them.. When i was a little girl my grandpa would tell us stories at night.. we all loved to hear them..

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I must say that I am surprised with the reception the stories are getting.

[@rogererickson8564]

I have "chatted" with wolves late in the evening while at the cabin near Atikokan that I used to visit. I loved hearing your wolf stories.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, it is sure a special time when they are calling.

[@johngerson7335]

Hi Martin! Thanks for the wolf stories, a favorite animal to me, I owned wolf-dogs for many years. All gone now and I miss them terribly. Beautiful day there, the Cabin's looking really fine and ship-shape after all the work you've put in. Take care, be safe, stay warm. Looking forward to whatever you choose to share with us next, thanks for this upload.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks John, there is good variety in the upcoming videos.

[@rachelhayes5026]

Martin we love watching you! Keep up the good work!!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I am very happy to see how many are enjoying the cabin.

[@peggybagley8031]

Hey Martin this is great I sure enjoy your stories and your videos keep them coming so amazing have them birds eat right out of your hand you are awesome thank you so much for posting have a great day

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I really enjoy sharing all these amazing animals with others.

[@gaylemesser136]

I love your stories Martin. I hope you still have friends that come up to the cabin with you. Lord bless you. Take care and be safe. VAUGHN

[@babygirlgibbs]

Wolves are amazing animals. Love your stories Martin. Keep them coming.👍😊💖

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Getting more ideas all the time.

[@slaznum1]

Thumbs up before I've started watching.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Now that is confidence in what I offer up!

[@skyehedrick9099]

I remember about 15 years ago a pack of wolfs ran right past us at camp near Lutson...like we didn't even exist. What a sight!!!! Just moved back east to Ottawa and really miss northern Minnesota. Told my wife that when the time comes that my ashes will be brought to northern Minnesota

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Northern Minnesota is a pretty special place.

[@leshiagambrel2170]

Great stories, beautiful scenery and a blue bird visiting us in the video. To me it's a dream land there. So peaceful looking. I love it.

[@87xfute]

Love listening to your stories Martin, thankyou so very much !! Seeya Rob

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I like hearing they are enjoyed. Lets me know what people desire.

[@yveskc1]

I love listening to good old story’s from the good old time. Respect to you Sir, you areone of a kind. Best regards -Yves

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good to hear I am not over staying my welcome.

[@TS-bn7zt]

Just a very random fact. There is a soccer team in England called Wolves. There insignia is a big old wolfs head. Well I did say it was random!!! Such wonderful stories Martin. Many thanks.

[@185chargers]

I could listen to your stories all day long. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am happy that they are well received. So much just can't be caught on camera when it happens.

[@johnblackie646]

Thanks for sharing your stories, I would've been worried about about the wolves and wouldn't have slept outside, you truly are connected with nature, love your videos, keep on keeping on, Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Notice that I was only 30 feet from the cabin door. Once in Canada I woke and had a coyote looking down at me.

[@wduranko]

Another great relaxing video from such a gentle man... Thank you for your videos Martin... They calm me down after a hard day's work...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@Bg1111ghk]

The cabin is looking good after all the work you did last year. Great video Martin thanks!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I had it in the background for good reason.

[@utbsks5078]

Great stories Martin! Thanks for sharing your memories. :)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you enjoyed them.

[@curiosidadesextrano]

Thank you for the enjoyable stories.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome, happy to hear they are liked by so many.

[@dmmadde]

The cabin looks great. Careful with those wolves, Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I give them all the room they need.

[@CalicoKid21]

You're a treasure Sir! I really enjoy the stories and life's lessons. Thank you!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome.

[@sumoneelse3011]

Two years ago, deer hunting in northern Wisconsin, we could hear them howling back and forth around dawn, which isn't uncommon. However, about 15 minutes later, I heard fast, loud footsteps coming behind my blind. I turned to look, expecting a deer, only to see a wolf trotting about 50' from my blind. I clenched my cheeks and my rifle tight, luckily he went right past me, never paying any attention to me. I'm thinking the howling that morning was this big boy had been separated from his pack and was looking to rejoin them. Regardless, it was a great experience that I'll always remember!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You happened into a great moment. I agree with it being a gathering call. So many times at dusk I will hear just a few calls as they gather for the nights hunt.

[@tallcedars2310]

Really enjoyed your stories Martin, you are a joker, lol. Where we are we have wolves and have been lucky to see them pass close by once while out hiking. We saw it about 70 feet from us & our dog saw it, looked at me with what I interpreted as a scared look, then he sat right down beside me as we watched it go up the bank. It was on a mission with it's mates we found out a few minutes later, but what an experience to see them in real life that close. Every once in awhile we see them here and we stop and just watch each other, cherised moments for sure, all the best to you and family!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You know how special those encounters are and apparently your dog has the proper respect for them too.

[@tallcedars2310]

His reaction totally surprised me as he usually rushes right up to other dogs since he's still puppy like at 1.5 years old and not totally tuned in to dog socializing yet. It was interesting to see his instinct kick in, just hope it works when he sees a bear or cougar:)

[@johnhammack12]

Love the story's Martin... glad to see all is going well...keep us posted I think we like to hear from you as much as you like to post... until next time...be safe...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks John, yes we are all enjoying this series.

[@stoutkm]

Enjoyed your wolf stories Martin. Thanks! The cabin looks fantastic.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

The cabin sure makes a great background, a very special place.

[@darci12u]

Wonderful, loved your stories, Thank you Mr.Martin you have brought so much joy into our hearts,for myself I love everything about your cabin,wild life and the food you cook,sometimes I think I can smell it.lol take care, keep those vlogs a coming.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, a few coming up that I think you will really enjoy.

[@jvatell6111]

Great stories! Mr/Mrs gray jay even made a cameo appearance. As always thank you for sharing! We just had a black bear sighting about a 1/4 of a mile up the road from our house yesterday and coyotes have been around on the hill behind our house too this week. They both have never been this close to us, usually a mile or so away.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks and hope your animals keep out of trouble at your place.

[@christinealwayschirping4115]

They are beautiful animal and they are so alousive...thanks for sharing as always stay safe God Bless you

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

In their winter coat they look so full bodied but I have seen them in the summer when they are not thick.

[@jutewood2275]

Love this, Martin. Thank you! My computer crashed a few months ago and I lost all my KZbin links but I'm so glad to have found you again.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you are back, a few new ones for you to catch up on.

[@brianspencer4220]

Thanks Martin Any time I've seen a wolf they made sure I got no closer. Brian 77

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I think for a while they were getting used to us but then there was a hunting season on them for a few years. After that they would even avoid our trails.

[@botabob]

You are a great storyteller Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I am pleased that they are so well accepted.

[@quest4certainty895]

Salt of the earth... God bless you...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@WesLovelace]

Look forward to more Wildlife Pics & Videos to go with these great stories!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

They are coming up.

[@TUSSCANNY]

Love your stories. Makes me think of my. Brother. You remind me of him100%. He loves the woods and the N.Y. Mountains.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Some say we were born a century too late.

[@larryjacobs5713]

Marty great story! The hungry gray jay tried to steal the show but you hung in there like a champ and pulled it off! Thank you

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Those jays are not going to sidetrack me!! No the window is still in the woodshed.

[@larryjacobs5713]

Ok my mistake

[@larryjacobs5713]

Marty are you concerned about the wolf population killing off the dear

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

The wolves eat a lot of deer but when numbers are low the wolf numbers will drop too. It all works out OK.

[@hickoryhomes6838]

Great stories - I love them. Please keep them coming. Thank you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

More ideas being jotted down all the time for future videos.

[@john5710]

Great stories. Thank you!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad to share the good times.

[@MeekoSan]

Great stories Martin! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome.

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

Glad to get another video from you Martin! You are so fortunate to have wolf encounters. (safe ones that is) Some say they don't bother people, others say than do, my thoughts are; sure they will in certain situations but I sure hope people don't start "doing away with them because they might". It's sad to me how people move in on the wild life & kill rather than learning how to live with them! I would love to see a wolf in the wild! I love the way they "know" where people are & are keeping "track" of them. Thank you for sharing this Martin, I really look forward to more!!! LOL Judie

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

The wolves seem to have an extra sense or two. One old logger told me that when you see a wolf it is because the wolf decided to be seen.

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

I have heard that too! I'll bet the wolf are around most of the time checking out what people are up to, when people are in their area. Maybe they like being fairly close to people in case of food being left out, just maybe. You said they never touched the bologna, but checked it out. I would imagine the junk in bologna would repel them. I want to hear lots about things you know or have seen, please keep making these awesome videos, they are just full of the greatest stuff!!! LOL Judie

[@jameslane2667]

Always enjoy your show Martin have a great day James Kansas City Missouri

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@KelliepbAclecticChannel]

What an exhilarating site and sounds to hear thank you for the story! 💚😉👍

[@cindyoquinn7924]

Enjoyed the story. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We have a storehouse of these good memories and love to share.

[@astroman71]

Thanks as usual for sharing Martin, a very entertaining story. I'm from south Australia & our stinking hot summer is almost upon us. Grrrrrr. So I hope we see some videos of u at the cabin when it's snowing. Ps. I've never seen snow. 😊 Take care Martin, look forward to your next video

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good to hear from you. I just got a call from a friend who is at the cabin. He was moving his car out to a better road because a big snow storm was moving in. He was excited about it.

[@mountainmen8605]

Tolle Story, super Videos. Mach weiter so. :-) Grüße aus Bayern, Germany

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thankyou

[@Berncarp707]

Thanks for the stories Martin. Great stuff.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

The wolves make it easy.

[@jimhanson7476]

Amazing story, really enjoyed

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@CalebGrahnert]

Man I love this guy

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad it still working.

[@larryjacobs5713]

How can we help but love Marty he relates to the best part of us and makes us feel human

[@gregdefouw9802]

Thanks for the nice story Martin

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome.

[@troymilleraz]

Great stories... you seem to remember them like they just happened yesterday :)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Some of those encounters come back very clearly.

[@2fast65]

Great video thank you have a great night and be safe i look forward to the next video.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks, I more ready to post in the coming weeks.

[@woodslore4672]

Another great vid Martin. Love it when i see "the north woodsman" on my vid alerts.Probably be snowing in ur next one.snow here soon in Michigan

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

A friend is at the cabin right now and he should get a few inches. A nice treat for him during his visit.

[@janmorse2162]

Parts of Northern Michigan had snow on the ground this a.m. Thank you for another interesting short story Martin!

[@TheKentuckyWoodsman]

It's a good thing he locked the door. I didn't one evening and a wolf got in and took my dentures... the Moose didn't stand a chance after that!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

They are cunning that way!

[@TS-bn7zt]

The KY Woodsman You know that's quite scary!! How much did it cost to replace your dentures. Lol. Great story.

[@901ronnie]

great story hope you are well. Can't wait till winter at the cabin this year.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I have a friend at the cabin right now and he should be all white in the next few days.

[@TheRatshooter]

This a classic example of a life well lived. If you never go anywhere or do anything, and have no memories of time well spent, you have no stories to tell. Except maybe the superbowl ya watched back in 20xx when somebody did whatever. Not my cup of tea, so to speak. I don't get around as much as Martin, but I've had good times and good friends, and have the memories. I plan on making many more.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Very well said my friend.

[@الأشجاروالأنهار]

We need these stories at night and in front of fire.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

That would add a lot to them.

[@versatec1]

Priceless😊👍🙏❤️

[@peters6850]

I really enjoyed this video. Looking forward to more stories at Martins cabin

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@movedon12]

I love your videos, another great one thanks so much.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad to share those special times in the northwoods.

[@elizabethgrirow372]

I love you Martin 🤗

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you enjoy the cabin life.

[@fintanoclery2698]

I've heard them in my part of the Ontario bush more times than I can count but in all my years I've only seen them on two occasions. Both times they were on the frozen lake when we were ice fishing. The fishing wasn't great (few lake trout and some Ling) but the photos we took are hanging throughout the cottage and shed.

[@fintanoclery2698]

Coyotes (and hybrids) on the other hand......

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

A good wold sighting is a thing to behold and enjoy.

[@westmeathguy]

The wolf at the end of your video looks like a typical grey wolf. Here in central Ontario adjacent to Algonquin Park, we have the eastern red wolf. A smaller animal and a distinct species. I alway think regarding the amount of food we have to feed our dogs to keep them happy and healthy; imagine that that wolf has to catch it all himself! Coyotes too! You really have to admire the wild canine species! Nice job on the video!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Amazing animals, when you see a wolf with it's summer coat from either end its awfully thin.

[@edf1584]

Great stories - thanks!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome.

[@robertcampbell8275]

Great video thanks

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you liked the tales.

[@dregeorge13]

your cabin you have really fixed it up nice. great videos. a really nice place to live. I would have a hard time leaving the cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It is a great place to get refreshed.

[@727skirk]

LOVE this Martin : ) You and others have inspired me to do the same, watch for Off Grid Pirates coming soon

[@jeffbutts9182]

The howls of the wolves always makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! Thanks for sharing your stories.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hard to imagine it until you have been out there when they started in.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Have fun with it.

[@727skirk]

Sandpoint Idaho ;)

[@terryw.milburn6414]

'mornin, Martin; another Top-Notch buncha stories, enjoyed this with my mornin Coffee, Keep 'em comin , Friend ! T F S ATB Ter God Bless

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I posted it in the night so it would be there for your morning cup.

[@terryw.milburn6414]

Much appreciated, Martin Keep 'em Rollin Friend ATB Terry

[@Donovanheath]

I love the birds!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

They add a lot to my cabin visits. You can see they make their presence known.

[@SanJuanMountainBob]

Good stories - enjoyed that. No wolves in my neck of the woods. There might be a few in northern Colorado, but that's open to debate. Thanks for sharin!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad to share my wolves with you.

[@pcking2008]

Cool stories. I didn't know they would really come if you howled. Yikes! Angel from The Bay

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Some locals up there do it a lot. Mom, Dad and a daughter all with a different call are quite a team. They will go out the next day to check for tracks and usually find the wolf tracks in theirs.

[@GateKommand]

Again thanks for the video mate!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

As always, happy to share such a great place.

[@johngallagher2313]

Good stories about the wolves. It made me wonder about any bear encounters you may have had?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Well now there is another video idea.

[@pipeheadOR]

Whew buddy! Hahahha that was a good list of stories.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Just an example of the good times we have had at that cabin over the years.

[@dfsahari7714]

hi Martin ,good morning sir++

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hello and thanks for watching.

[@kamurray67]

Thanks for the stories! I still think you are really depressed having to "stay out" in the wilderness when there is such "wonderful" city life you could be enjoying! LOL.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Nothing like a howling wolf to relieve one' stress.

[@kamurray67]

kDawn f not sure but I think you missed my sarcasm

[@kevinlougheed553]

I always enjoy your videos...I have not seen anything in awhile...hope you post soon!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

My brother has had his liver transplant and even mowed part of his yard last week. I will be back in canoe country first and then really looking forward to a long stay at the cabin.Thanks everyone for your concern.

[@cigarcaptain]

My Brother and I spotted a wolf watching us while we were fishing near our home in NM

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I think they like to keep tabs on us.

[@permaculturedandfree2448]

G'Day Marty ..My son and I really enjoyed the stories! Thanks so much for sharing. Zack says Hi and do you have big mean bears? Keep up the awesome stories. Rex and Zack

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hi, We have bears but I have never been confronted with a mean one. Mostly they are like a big hog out looking for a meal.

[@permaculturedandfree2448]

TheNorthwoodsman1 Too many Hollywood movies mate!!! He watches Nature documentaries etc but he loves Action..He wants to send you a drawing of your cabin..Do you have a po box?

[@bobarnall3913]

I know you are very busy, just wondering if you have published any books? Truly enjoyed this and all of your videos.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Never a book, there are a lot of canoe journals at canoestories.com and a link to that on the youtube homepage.

[@farmecologist3395]

Uh oh..It looks like canoestories.com gets a 'bandwidth exceeded' error. Looks like you are a celebrity now!

[@craignash4736]

Thank you for all your Awesome videos:: from Craig Nash 814 935 1906

[@jameslane2667]

👍🇺🇸🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽 Martin another great video that wolf was as great as China fireworks I'm going to put this in stamps just ignore that comment

[@SSPJG3]

Great wolf stories Martin. They are truly at the top of the food chain in the wilderness. You headed out for the Minnesota deer opener next weekend?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

No I will be doing my deer hunting in Illinois. I miss the atmosphere of the MN hunt but find that I enjoy so much more up there that the hunt gets in the way.

[@howlandowlle7953]

So you cut loose with a howl. I note you were the closer one to the door. I'm surprised Jim did not consider that geometry, considering there's a lock on the door and all. "Uh, Marty? Open the door Marty." "Well now, let's not be too hasty." "Marty? Hasty? Marty, open the door!" "How do I know you're not a wolf? They're pretty wily, y'know." "MARTY!"

[@heidifriend4681]

Hey Martin it’s daisy from group two from camp!!!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hi Daisy, I see you found more wolf stories.

[@likearockcm]

The wolves of hawk's pond. Would make a great title to your book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It does have a ring to it!!

[@mike81951]

enjoyed your video

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@brandonglenn794]

Hahaha! Poor Jim. :)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

He is up at the cabin by himself right now. He did not even ask me along, I wonder why.

[@Franknank]

Martin, were you alone when you filmed this? Because if you look at your side window in your cabin, there appears to be some kind of light in the upper right hand corner that goes on and off, fades in and out. Just wondering about that light. Love your stories, thanks for sharing them.

[@qwer123211]

Hi Martin, great stuff!! Question: I'm curious why you do not have a dog or two to provide you some company and added security?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I would probably pick up a cat first. I would be too concerned about the dogs safety unless it were really well trained and did not run off at all.
