@@eddieszubzda2721 well my friend, enjoy the morel mushrooms ya lucky dog lol

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

That's paying attention Eddie Szubzda. Now its up to you to keep the Morel Mushroom spot from being picked over before we get there. Just follow my directions and enjoy a feast of Morels next May. Drive to International Falls, Minnesota and get a large coffee at one of the Holiday Stations. Head west until the coffee is cold or too cooled to be any good. At a big hole turn left and drive for a piece. Turn right and drive for a good stretch. You will come up on a hump in the gravel road, do not turn there. Just ahead is another hump. Turn left on this forest lane and drive until you get stuck in the mud. Walk about another mile and when you see some really big trees on your left head into a foot trail and walk until you are in Morel Heaven. enjoy and don't let anyone follow you.

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Thanks Martin! See ya in the spring!

[@hearttoheart4me]

What I love about your videos is no fancy intro music or graphics. Just real simple and beautiful life in the north woods. Another great one Martin. Thank you

[@theyangview1898]

Amen! No fluff just substance

[@tomwaite4594]

Martin, this is one of your best videos showing the value of getting out into the empty places of the wilderness. How different our world would be if everyone could slow down and take it all in as you do. Thank You As Always For Sharing. Tom

[@billthemailman9195]

I was hoping you would post a video tonight. Your hikes and adventures are very calming. I am grateful you took me along on your day. Thanks

[@SnowinSummer37]

Thank you Martin for sharing another beautiful day at your cabin. The nap was well deserved after a 10 mile hike!

[@chuckbardiamond9382]

Thanks for posting all the shows. My wife and I watch and like all your explanatory adventures in the back woods,and at your cabin.

[@MacCountyCabin]

Thanks Again Martin! I'm about a year away from retirement and have been preparing for it for awhile. We built a cabin 5 years ago (have Been building) in SW MISSOURI. I think of you as a FREIND and enjoy our "long distance" relationship. We share a love for the outdoors and birds and other wildlife and hiking and cabin life and faith. Perhaps one day we will meet and hike out there somewhere. Don't mean for this to be weird, I'm married to the same gal for over 40 years. It's just rare to observe what I have seen in you and wanted you to know it's appreciated.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks Fred

[@theyangview1898]

But you forgot the World Famous Vonnie Cherry Pies! Do you have a wife that is willing to make those World Famous Vonnie Cherry Pies???

[@midnightspecial7578]

I have been watching your videos for years and I wanted to thank you for sharing your adventures at the cabin....

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You are welcome, nice to hear they are appreciated.

[@nikburton9264]

Great video Martin. Just what I needed right as my wife brings me home from the hospital. Thank you

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad the timing was perfect.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Thanks Martin for allowing another great visit with you at the cabin. Really enjoyed the hike as well.

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

I love to listen to the crackling of the fire. Reminds me of when I lived with my Grandfather at our family beach cabin in Manzanita, Oregon up on Neahkanie Mountain (just like the story of Heidi! LOL) We didnt have a washer or dryer, so every night after I got home from work, I would wash what clothes we had worn that day in the bath tub, and then ring them out really good and hang them by the fireplace. They'd be dry by morning! My Grandpa taught me how to chop wood, start a fire, make pies and cakes, and even cinnamon rolls; you know, all the major necessities of life! I have many lovely memories of my Grandfather, and growing up at the beach "Chalet" as he called it. He built it back in the 50's with the only help being from his Nephew. He built it for $1,000 made from old recycled school building materials. Then, in 1995 he turned around and sold the place for $400,000; being an ocean front view and all! Grandpa passed away in 1998. If he could see the old Chalet now all remodeled; I'm sure he would say something like, "well, you can't stop progress." but I know deep down he would be choking back the tears. Now, it's a vacation rental with a washer and dryer to boot! Lucky bums! Thank you, once again, for such a wonderful video Mr. Martin! tell the Mrs. I said "HELLO!" It was sweet of her to pack those "kisses" for you! LOL blessings, Washington State

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thankyou, what a nice story about him setting up that simple cabin and all the "character" it built for you.

[@johnmccormick175]

Great video Martin as they always are...what a beautiful spot you have and your appreciation of nature is wonderful to watch ..thanks for sharing!

[@IceCrossFire]

My mom grew up hiking almost every weekend from age 3 up into her teens even in the winter. I got a taste of it, but I have always felt like I belonged out there in the natural world. We ended up in a noisy, smelly city. Just today we talked about our longing to be in the woods and see the stars again. Since she likes having the TV on when she sleeps, I opened KZbin and found this video. I can't hear it yet, but I subscribed because this already looks great. I'm playing it directly from your channel, so she'll wake up in the woods somewhere. We'll see what she thinks in the morning. :) Thanks for sharing your fun life with everyone. Take care.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Notes like your make me happy. I so like being able to share my cabin and hikes with so many others.

[@IceCrossFire]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 And your garden and outhouse! She woke up to your gardening, watched it for a bit, fell asleep again, and woke up again to you talking about the outhouse. She told me how our grandpa grew up having to sit and go numb on about an inch of ice in an outhouse. Oof!

Oh I so look forward to your hikes .. dead fall is the tree you wanted the answer to... your birding has my heart ,I’m a huge birder .. got my husband loving it now ..he can actually identify birds .. We have for the past few years had a female turtle dove nesting in our window box on shed .. he ‘s obsessed with her , how many babies how many broods etc .. oh boy if that the other woman, I’m ok with that ! Lol

Great way to spend the day, should be some good mushroom hunting in that big clear cut in the future. Another great video

[@chamilton9182]

Martin, I love your videos and I love you. I'm your sister in Christ. I don't mean to sound bossy, but please, please PLEASE always take your gear with you, including your GPS. You tend to hike for miles, not yards. And have some additional survival gear (small tarp, matches, trail mix, water etc) in case you fall and break something or get lost, or any number of things....... I just want you to be safe! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us. Be safe, and God Bless.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I appreciate your concern. Care is taken and compass is always along. The GPS would have helped find where my trail left the logged area.

I saw the posting 16 minutes after you put it up, but I was bone tired and went to bed instead. Watched 3/4 this morning, and the rest now at 10:30 PM. Life interfered. AKA the wife. That would be one heck of a hike for an old codger like me, but you are about 10 years younger than I am. But still needed a nap, huh? No wonder! One heck of a clear cut, a bit too much in my book. You looked so relaxed at the end, just like time at the cabin should be. It has been a good run up there, hasn't it? Stay safe, my best to Vonnie, the cherry pie maker.
