Moving Logs To My Mill & Some Firewood -22c At My Full Time Cabin, Warm Garden Soup ! S3,E104,

[@lifeincanadabylusy5743]

Oooo! Hello, Don! Great job! Great cooking! Your soup look very delicious! Bravo! BIG BIG LIKE!!!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

It's always nice to have a warm bowl of soup on a cold day. Glad you enjoy the content ! My channel just follows a bit of my everyday life being 100% off grid :) Not roughing it to hard lol, We have a beautiful country , Hope you get a chance to check out my road trip to the Yukon last year & just about every road in the NWT I have traveled :) Love the north but hopefully one day I will have video's of all Provinces !

[@Offgridlee444]

Nothing better than yummy soup on a cold day! Great way to deal with logs, Thanks for the idea.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

It was simple & tasty & the jacks make moving logs way easier :) Thanks for watching"

[@glengillis7775]

Don your a pretty handy guy. Those jacks alone are a sketchy tool. That worked out slick. Yes the snow ramp easier. Good looking soup. It definitely is soup and stew season. We make stuff and freeze in containers and put it on the woodstove while we are out doing stuff and its warm when we get back into cabin. Looking forward to coming along on your first trail setting run in your woodlot Don. Thanks for the video today. You're doing good.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yup but it worked :) The ramp is in progress, stew always good your right. It warmed to -18 yesterday so I was out & the old bravo just about left me walking :( But got one trip through a lot of cattails this year, But -26c again this morning but an awesome solar day :)) Thanks Glen

[@josephlwallssr6166]

That soup looks very tasty in -23° C! Great job of storing your forewood!😀👌

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes winter is here :) The last couple day -26c so just enjoying the woodstove :) If you some past video's you see how I load the wood box from the outside no trucking it through the cabin, Thanks for stopping hope you enjoy :)

[@WilleysFirewood]

Firewood is a never ending chore but it's very rewarding at the same time. That soup looked like an excellent meal for the end of a cold day.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Absolutely, it's nice to have some wood prepped for a long winter. Yes that soup is the way to go when it's cold, & we have plenty of that coming our way, Thanks for the comment Russ"

[@Timlackey-b9r]

Thanks Don we like ur channel from Ont Can.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks for watching from Ontario, hope you're staying warm :) I think the cold is headed your way, We have had -26c in the mornings but up to -16 to 18 in the afternoon so I think our winter is here ! We need more snow that went all the way across last week kinda hit the south missed us, I got started on my wood haul trails so should be in the next video :) Nice to know where people are watching from :) Thanks for the comment"

[@OffGridWithChrisandKristie]

Freezing tomatoes was always my favourite way to preserve them. Nowadays I don’t have a freeze here. So I canned them all. A lot more work. But at least they’re put up, it was a great tomato crop! It’s truly winter out there isn’t it. Yesterday morning it was -29 at our place. Stay warm. Stay safe!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes I seen you had a good crop :) Canning is great too, Off grid my small solar setup runs a full size freezer & fridge with little power, Yes winter is here :) Our weather generally comes from the northwest so what you get today we get tomorrow or the day after :) We had -26 in the morning 3-4 days in a row but clouds rolled in only -20 this morning lol, Stay warm, Take care"

[@tammywilliams4958]

Terrific video , the soup looked amazing 🙌 Just what every cold day needs for sure. The snow is adding up 😊 great for snowmobiling. Thanks for another great chapter in your day to day 😊much appreciated. Take care , stay warm and have a wonderful week ahead ❤🌻🌻

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks for watching, & I think we are in for a great winter with lots of snow! Just a slow start pretty rough breaking trail yesterday, Might get a little more Tues 4"s not enough not far everyone else got some this week, so maybe go for my first load of wood :) Have a great week.

[@mattandmouse]

Great tip on the garlic skins - thanks! I spend too long peeling them with a knife!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Your welcome :) I usually do 3-4 at a time even with two it works, Just something I learned a few years ago ! Thanks for watching"

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Hello Don. To bad I’m on the east coast, I would have joined you for supper. 👍🏻. Jumpins that looked some good. Great video. Ya, -26C that’s getting down there. Neat way to get the log up on the table. Have a great day and stay warm. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋🪵🪓🔥🇨🇦

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks it was awesome :) yes cool again the same today, winter is here, Always thinking outside the box to save the back :)) Thanks for watching

[@karleenwebb2893]

Another great video and meal , thanks for sharing .

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks for watching! I'll be getting more firewood this weekend. Been my wood hauling tails put in just need a little more snow :) Thanks for the comment"

[@eastcoastcabinfever]

Man oh man. I got to clean up my shack after looking at your place nice and clean I’m gonna do the same soon. I need to build another fast building to put my stuff into. I got to smarten the hell up lol 😂. Your cooking is always tasty indeed. We have no snow yet. Lots of cold rain 😢.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes just a little everyday as we know we are going to need that pot later lol :) Not prefect but I try to keep some clutter down so I can find what I'm looking for ! It was simple & tasty :) Thanks my friend"

[@lukelizotte2813]

Those farm jacks are the greatest invention since sliced bread. I've used them for pulling posts, jacking up sheds, winching out my truck etc. You are correct though in saying that they can be dangerous. Use them with respect and stay clear of the handle. Looks like an awsome soup recipe. Sometimes simpler is better. I will make your soup but will add some pearl barley to my version.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks that they are :) Yes I love my pearl barley soup too:) Split pea & lentle Good soups to simmer on the woodstove ! Thanks for the comment"

[@gmancrawford8873]

Good old jacks, the best, quite the improvised u r

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes they can be :) I grew up a homesteaders son, Where thinking outside the box is always a good thing ! You will be seeing how I get most of my winters firewood soon :) Take care thanks for watching"

[@Homemade1970]

Well that looks like a good handy soup can’t beat soup in the cold 👍

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yup quick & easy with a little garlic to help warm you on a cold day :) Thanks for watching"

I enjoyed the video as always Don. I hope you’re staying warm with the temperatures going down ! The end result of the soup looked real tasty 😊😊

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Toasty warm by my woodstove :) -26c this morning so inside chores today, But clear blue skies for solar :)) Thanks for watching"

[@offgridsolarpower]

@ sounds like a nice day to stay inside 😊 and yay clear sky’s for solar !

[@tuckerandi]

You're Busy busy busy Don my buddy , great way to lift the log using the jack easier on the back that's for sure. That looked like a delicious pot of soup my buddy, I was telling my wife how you frooze your tomatoes she said she never thought to do that ....next year I'm sure she will lol. You got the wood piled for this cold spell. Hope you have a great week my buddy and stay warm.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks! It's definitely nice to have some wood prepped for the cold. The freezer is a great way to keep those tomatoes fresh for months! No burning the fingers blanching :) the big ones you seen me put away before I just cut the steam out then freeze them, It's a -26c this morning winter is here ! Thanks for watching"

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Good morning Don! Watching on the big screen. ❤✌️🇨🇦

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Good morning, Thanks for watching on the big screen! Some I watch on the computer but much nicer on the big screen :) Winter is here I hope your ready ! I always appreciate the support take care stay warm.

[@bobstewart4342]

now that you moved that log around you're gonna go get a bigger one cracked me up. keep out of trouble

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Ya I realized I left some of my tools I needed if you seen the video before so I took the smaller piece from higher up the tree lol :) So when it warms just a bit we will get the one from the bottom :) I have to find a young woman to help me then then I might get in trouble Bob ! Thanks for watching"

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Evening Don. You guys are into winter mode. We are getting rain from the eastern seaboard. Our winter doesn't kick off until January some time. The Jack works good for ya.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Ya winter is here, It's been -26c a few days now but we're toasty warm in the cabin :) man you can have all that moisture -20 there is like our -40 it's very dry snow the cold is very different than even Alberta's south Thanks for watching

[@KenC49]

Hi Don! A couple tandem loads of fill at the end of your brow to make a ramp would save you a bunch of handling the logs. You just keep that snow and cold out west. We have way too much work to get done to finish out our season. Lol

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Ya good idea, I run that over my brain but I drive around there & it would make it pretty tight, & If I bring them in with my trailer I like to drive up close :) I have to come up with something simple that I can move in the spring, I have a bit of an idea coming soon :) Thanks for the comment"

[@KenC49]

@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 ramps would be easier solution. Roll the logs up the ramps but have them hinge somehow to allow you to put you trailer in.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Don- there’s always a way to get things done. Soup looks really good. Stay safe and warm up there. God bless

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Just a little garlic to help keep a guy warm :) Winter is here ! have a great weekend :)

[@nanathecanner]

Write it down! No pen! Make comment! Then screen shot! Recipe saved! 😄 Pork cubed Onion chopped Seasoning Salt Garlic minced Tomatoes 🍅 Little Water Potato 🥔 Carrots 🥕 Pepper Little more Water Simmer for about an hour. And enjoy!! Looks delicious!! 🤤 Yummy!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks it was simple & Yummy :) Lol Some people watch the whole video :) Thanks for the comment"

[@exploringmybackyard]

Good morning Don well, it’s breakfast time and all I can think about is that soup man that looks good. yeah, that’s Snow ramp will definitely make it a lot easier. That’s for sure. I can’t believe you’re already down past -20. I think she’s gonna be a cold winter my friend. Stay safe out there.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks Thompson, Sunny skies with good solar this morning but a frosty -26 this morning :( But I'm toasty in the cabin Just wishing for a little more snow, Take care

[@Bushmoose]

Hey Don, if you care to, give a little expose' on your garage stove. My neighbour has me lined up to build one for him, so I'm looking for ideas?

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

How big of wood does he want to use & how big of a place does he want to heat ? I planned out the measurements to use a pull 4+8 sheet of 1/8 , I think 1/4 would of been much better, & the door you can buy the kits for doing barrel would be a better door than I made, It won't be in the next video but maybe I'll try to show the stove & measurements & how I did it in the one after :) Thanks for the comment"

[@glengillis7775]

@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 that would be a good content video.

[@thinkford]

You're -22 already in November 2024?

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes a cold snap is upon us -26c this morning, looks like all week going to be mid 20's & who knows from there, We have had many years in the past -40 last week of Nov, Last year crazy warm above normal except first two weeks of Jan was -40c to -50c Thanks for the comment"
