I'm in my late 40s and sat in a recliner for the first time last year, and it changed my life. I bought a pair of 1980s Jason recliners made in Western Australia. Neck pain and headaches were gone in the first week. The best $70 I've ever spent.

I’m cracking up. You have my wheel barrow. They just keep on hauling. I just spread a truckload of gravel with mine this past summer. Always nice to hear kids enjoying the outdoors.

The best part for sure, these kids have been in the BWCA a lot for summer canoe trips so used to this sort of thing.

[@IamChrisL712]

Jim's little blonde granddaughter in the green jacket reminded me of my daughters when they were that age. We're a big outdoors family and they sure enjoyed the campfires. Still do. Be well.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Jim's daughters and grandkids were introduced to BWCA canoe trips at a very young age so this was more civilized than they were accustomed to.

I laid some gravel down on my driveway to help with all of the snow. I was hoping some grouse would show up but all I have seen so far is about 4 or 5 dozen quail. More snow is coming so the grouse may drop by yet. Thanks for sharing.

I will try to film the loading and packing.

[@remingtonwingmaster6929]

Having lived in Minnesota all my life, I've taken some Ruffed Grouse through the years but most of us never get far enough north to even see a Spruce Grouse. I enjoyed the video of them; they're really quite beautiful...and tame!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

So tame that when the pro photographer tried to get them to move they just ran around at his feet.

[@geraldnichols1853]

Solitude at the cabin is always great but being able to share the cabin life is truly an experience all of your visitors will cherish. Great that you can share that. This weekend I got to have a friend up to my cabin with his 11 year old son. Great weekend. Got to teach him a few things about the outdoors and the ins and outs about gun and hunting safety. Very fulfilling weekend. I have to say in the last couple years of watching your videos along with other off grid KZbinrs vids I have never been able to find more peace and comfort of enjoying the outdoors and learning more about it than ever before. Thanks for the great videos and all you do for those youngsters and adults that enjoy this part of life!

As you found out being able to share the cabin experience is a job well appreciated.

Martin, could you or Vonnie tell me what is good to clean the copper bottoms on Revere ware?? I have a pan that someone used on a grill or something that had the whole outside crusted over in some burnt on substance. I got the silver part clean and glimpses of the copper but feel I will never get it all off. I have used Bar Keepers. Also have tried soda powder and catsup.

The joke is on me. I asked Vonnie and she handed me a dirty pan and said try these. A copper cleaning paste did some but steel wool and the paste cleaned it with heavy effort.

Kono Brand pizza crust in a five pack and the sauce is Contatina squeeze bottle. I like to mix my toppings together so building the pizza goes faster. Spend too much time and the crust may burn.
