Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin #83 A Table Top For Sven's Sewing Machine

[@dharleyfan1]

That slow motion snow at the end was mesmerizing. Very nice.

[@dorothydemaree7544]

I was trying to tell if it was in slow motion??

[@marianfrances4959]

@@dorothydemaree7544 not sure but if there is no wind (as often, in the woods there is not) the snow can fall that slowly.

[@robertcarey8237]

Has anyone else heard snow land. I have when i was younger and there was no other sound happening. Please respond only if you have.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

On "Vonnies Kitchen" channel I loaded a 20 minute relaxation video with three parts: Swan in the snow, a reflection with snow melting and dripping and the snow falling on the cabin. All three are in slow motion for a peaceful interlude. I lose the sound when in slow motion and do not want to put a sound track in a piece like this.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, I have heard snow land. If I can film it sometime and amplify it I will.

[@drjohnson98]

That first shot, with the snow outside the window, the wood stove, the rocking chair and the coffee cup looks like a little corner of heaven.

[@riched283]

During a try time in my life, a friend of mine insisted I stay at his cabin in the mountains by myself for 2 weeks. That kind of silence was exactly what I needed to untangle all the stuff in my mind. Alone time in the woods sometimes is the best medicine 👍

[@LostCaper]

I agree. I am in the process of building myself a similar place. The modern world is way to crazy for me.

[@markleblanc291]

Quiet, alone time is the best therapy! Great video Martin! You certainly make the best of your time and items you collect!

[@shaunschoppe9324]

Beautiful place Martin Beautiful place itsba slice of heaven

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes it is!

[@johnhanes5021]

Solitude when out in nature is very healing. I go trout fishing because no one can talk to me when I'm standing in the middle of a stream and the mental focus on the fishing is like meditation.

[@thelvadam8916]

The time alone..the quiet that allows you to hear the guidance of the Holy Spirit. More valuable than fine gold.

[@bluegrasssasquatch4930]

[@karlelliott9254]

Martin, you and many other good people are the reason TV is going, going, gone. Thank you for all you do. You add so much history and facts and wildlife and just like your friend it would be wonderful even if you were gone for the day. The last snow scene says it all.

[@victorhebert5774]

Well thought. Solitude and nature some of the best medicine around. Thumb up.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

What a beautiful place... Thank you for bringing us along. 🏕🙏👍

[@geoffoutdoors]

There's just something about a gentle snowfall. Love that new table haha! Great idea.

[@larrycounce4509]

I lived up in Michigan for 6 years and really enjoyed the snow, its very calming plus it covers the dirty and untidy stuff

[@paulatwinb2815]

Brother Martin, the cast iron stovetop for Sven's table is a proper tribute! Ultmate repurpose. This is one of my fav videos. Loved the walk with a blanket of snow. And, the trumpeter swan on Hawk's pond! I picture Hawk smiling down. The ending cabin scene with a gentle snowfall should be a Christmas card. Hmmmmm...

[@JD-en6ph]

Thank you for another great video, quiet time in nature is the best of time. The new generation have a need to be connected to Facebook or other social media on a constant bases. They are extremely uncomfortable at the thought of being alone and need a constant chatter in their lives. Sad that they will never experience the special peace that nature provides for those who enjoy long walks on a forest trail or the simple comfort of just sitting in a rustic cabin heated by a vintage wood stove.

[@livelife4471]

I know what you mean that it is nice to have company but also it is nice to be alone in the woods. Your cabin offers lots of entertainment whether it is sipping hot coffee in front of the wood stove while watching the snow fall, a walk to Hawkes pond, watching the Canada jays or partridge or looking for artifacts from Svend's cabin. Much better than watching TV. So your cabin is a really valuable asset to you - enjoy it as you always do.

[@JoeOutdoors]

Escape from four walls and people is VERY good medicine. When I was a kid 45 years ago I loved snow couldn't get enough and not just to get out of school. The kid in me now would prefer to see it snowing elsewhere, Thank You for providing elsewhere . . . ;>)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad to oblige.

[@Al_Dente-d1p]

SO RELAXING to watch........... thanks Martin.

I had a week I needed to use for vacation, my wife used up all hers. She let me set my tent about 30 miles away. It was awesome, even when she showed up and spent the night. I found peace and now a different man. I do love watching your videos. I was 55 years old then, I walked and walked and walked. You need nature to keep your mind.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So right.

[@ronaldwarren5220]

The snow is so relaxing when it falls slowly. God has blessed you

[@ArielleViking]

I could certainly appreciate the alone time in your cabin. Always such beautiful views and those jays coming to your hands for a feed. Beautiful and peaceful video. ❤

[@suesmith4325]

I love finding "treasures" like that. They mean more to me than things bought at the shops. Now that looks like the perfect Christmas morning snow.

[@retiredyeti5555]

I like to recycle thing that other folks throw out. My wife says I am a scavenger, I tend to think of myself as a "repurposer".

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I have had my eye on that stove top for years and finally had to ambition to haul it to the cabin.

[@elizabethguy]

I too must have my "alone time." Otherwise, I get cranky, and I don't like to be cranky. Blessed is the Lord who gives us such peaceful snowy scenes as this! He knows exactly how to relax us.

[@vonnieskitchenmartinsshack5544]

I'm with you, Elizabeth. Martin and I are both introverts in that we need alone time. So while he is at the cabin, I am alone in my gardens at home. Works for us!!! The Wife

[@dorothydemaree7544]

Vonnie's Kitchen Hi Vonnie! So glad I found you and your vids! Had just been pondering that surely you share Martin’s value of alone time & was wondering how you spend yours- I look forward to enjoying your vids! Looks like I’ll be feeling right at home with your gardening joys, which may be a tad different from my gardening expressions here in N.E Ok... and I’m sure ready for your tried and true recipes! My hubby and I are both rather introverted also, yet we’ve both enjoyed expressions of functioning a lot thru the years as extroverts- you know how caring about people brings that about :). 52 years of marriage and somewhere along there we’ve learned that each other’s interests and regrouping expressions takes us down separate lanes now and again... and we’re better together for it :)

[@LostCaper]

That old stove made a nice table top which is worth more than money can buy. Great video Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So pleased to repurpose that sewing machine base and stove top from a logging camp.

[@pchts1]

It was always my dream of mine as a kid in the ‘50’s to have a cabin like this in the northern woods such as this. You are living the dream of many I’m sure!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am glad to share my dream come true with all through these videos.

[@maryjeanjones7569]

Greg Boyer- This cabin is not far in the bush. If you look at his stove, it uses natural gas. I suspect if he has a gas stove he also has electricity. You need some way of keeping food from spoiling. This might be a cabin but not a cabin in the bush!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It is the real deal Mary. Propane gas is brought in as 20 pound propane tanks. I have a propane refrigerator too to keep things frozen. Solar panels charge car batteries which provide electricity for the LED light system and the car radio. Nearest power line is at least 10 miles away.

[@raincoast9010]

Good score on the stove top. That last two minutes was like magic now i have to go out and shovel snow here.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

[@SnowinSummer37]

That cast iron top is perfect!!! ❤️ You need to go back with a shovel to dig for the other pieces and bring them all back to the cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I found all the parts with a metal detector as I did a through search of the old logging camp kitchen. Put things in a pile and keep bringing more back to the cabin. The oven handle is what lock my outhouse.

[@SnowinSummer37]

That’s brilliant!!! 😂 The lock on the outhouse is hilarious too. Congrats on your great finds. That cast iron stove top looks great in your cabin too.

[@davidwootton683]

I have a remote place that I go and spend time on my own. Now, I had a friend and he would come up and help me with the place. And one of the thing's that caused me to suffer, was that, he had to talk all the time. Just to fill the silence of nature with his thoughts. One day he talked for 10 hours non-stop. So I understand, this is not for everyone. Many thanks fro sharing this with us. Kind regards and greetings from Africa.

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

Your friend is afraid to be alone with his own thoughts. I use to be like that. Now I’m building me own log cabin and it forces you to be alone with yourself. Now I can go days without saying a word, even if others are with me.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

If you ever hear me mention "Wayne" he was one to never stop talking. He knew he had a problem and I soon realized he talked even when he was all alone. I came up on him many times in the woods talking with a tree.
