Can I just take a second to appreciate your intro with that beautiful horse 🐎 , our American 🇺🇸 flag and beautiful scenery 🙋🏼‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nothing like a treat of hot chocolate after chopping some wood. Love how he cabin has greenery on the outside for Christmas.

[@Leon-cd3fg]

Such wonderful pastimes.

[@carolesmith4864]

I enjoyed this, watching a young man chop wood and then make homemade hot chocolate. The simple things in life are the best.

[@frontierpatriot]

Thankyou so much!

[@carladavis2587]

Love these simple videos with no words, just work and beautiful scenery and surroundings.

[@beverlysyferd379]

A beautiful horse! Enjoyed watching you make hot chocolate. Very good video.

[@lindamalkas3302]

I love these kinds of videos. The sound of the leaves, sawing of the wood and the simple stirring of the chocolate is wonderful.

[@sherylhoward4831]

Put me in the mood for some hot chocolate but instant didn't sound good. Then I remembered I had some Dove chocolate pieces to throw in. Much better! Love the videos!

[@frontierpatriot]

I wish itd snow for Christmas, thankyou!

[@sparrow6368]

Yummy hot chocolate! Great wood chopping! I've always loved a warm cheery fire....unfortunately I dont have a fire place lol! Great video!

[@mickeymcclaren8403]

Great film. I wondered if the chocolate was sweetened. A popular drink in Mexico at the time was just unsweetened chocolate with milk. I didn't know if it was manufactured and you could buy it with sweetener in it. There are some forms of chocolate that have so little sugar in them that the bitterness comes through but they're still delicious. Thank you for the film.

[@cynthiachengmintz672]

Unsweetened as in 100% cacao? Because I’d totally do it!

[@mickeymcclaren8403]

@@cynthiachengmintz672 very unsweetened. It was originally considered a drink for the Inca and Aztec rulers. It was drunk without any sweetener. It was supposed to be a gift of the gods. Which chocolate is. I also noticed but this is recently but Ghirardelli baking chocolate is also very much milder and less bitter than some of the other chocolates for baking that are unsweetened. I would also not mind unsweetened chocolate and I often put chocolate unsweetened in my coffee. It's wonderful.

[@rebeccaback3287]

I like the old one man cross cut saw.I like the way the hot chocolate was made.I say it taste good! David Back

[@melaniesmith1313]

Very calm and pleasant.

[@henryscarhead6119]

WOW, how expensive! You bout a cocoa ground? Here in the Philippines, in some part of the province we still do this with the old fashion ways with the use of old ceramic pot or the old thick metal pot and a wooden whisk looking mallet we call "batirol", for 45 or more mins we "whisk" it or until the chocolate becomes thick while adding cows/goat milk.

[@elizabethraitanen5057]

Great video Ron! One can never have enough firewood!

[@Navygrl58]

I’d like to see a video on how they kept food cold in that time period without a refrigerator. What was used in its place for storing milk or eggs or things that needed to be refrigerated?

[@indigowolf556]

Me too

[@carolesmith4864]

@@indigowolf556 Maybe the well or creek?

[@LorettaMacabre]

Sometimes they built a box and kept it in a hole that was dug out for the purpose of keeping things cooler also root cellars kept food cooler But most things were preserved and didn't need refrigerating.

[@ellenradford8582]

I made hot chocolate like this on our stove but with the bars from Williamsburg.

[@frontierpatriot]

Thankyou so much!!!! 😊

[@dowen1511]

Just saying you should not stack your fire wood against your cabin it can attract bugs of different sorts worst of all termites you may transfer them from them half rotten logs you chopped on need to build a wood shelter asap beside your cabin to store your wood in and rub down the inside of your wood box in house with an oil of sorts kerosene is what they used back in the day it kinda smells for a bit but worth it to keep bugs down 👍 oh and bother gathering cotton wood its not good for burning really its just a hassle lol. And stacking wood in front like that don't really keep it dry when it rains hard also. Need a full covered roof and side that is facing the incoming weather if not 3 sides . 4 post in the ground and sticks going up the sides is good enough easy to do too. Thick Moss if you can find some or a big piece of oil canvass roof over close knit sticks 👍

[@JoJo-wk4cx]

Now I'm in the mood for hot chocolate!!

[@brendalegate5282]

Was there ever any concern about stacking the firewood against the house and it allowing extra moisture/bugs into the cabin structure, or did the wood tend to get used too quickly for that to happen?

I'm sorry that went to the wrong place. I wanted to know what kind of wood do you use in your fireplace? Do you worry about soot build up?

[@frontierpatriot]

oak, pine, walnut and some cedar, our fireplace and chimney are 100% rock and straight up and aprox 30inches X 20inches wide on the inside so theres no worry at all about build up.

[@frontierpatriot]

never burn cedar in a home fireplace or indoor woodstove, it makes alot of creosote!

It was labor-intensive to make a mug of hot cocoa back then - but it sure would beat "Swiss Miss" (which is pure crap!) I like to buy Abuelita cocoa tablets, which you melt in in a pan of milk on the stovetop. I guess if you want something good, you gotta work for it.

[@barbaragonzales4796]

But the results are way better. Using instant products, like cocoa, soups and anything else, equals watered down money wasters.
