The first time I watched your video, it made me became one of your viewer, I love nature, I love all of the videos I watched , and how I wished that one day I can experience staying over night in a cabin, I love your dog Gracie as well as you. Thank you for sharing all your memories in the wilderness , 💗 I am from the Philippines.

Snapping turtle is GOOD eatin'!!!!

[@scottphillipy9831]

Looks like a good little project, agree, it needs some work, but a great spot. I'd have titled this the Moose and Turtle Show. 😎 Thanks for bringing us along. 🙏

[@lindaarbogast6499]

Loved seeing the wildlife! To see that snapping turtle is a treat! Thank you for rescuing the other turtles crossing the road.

[@curtislow6018]

I’m certain all Maine wildlife appreciates you Cory as much as your viewership! The kind Heart which is always displayed serves as a lesson for All!👍🇺🇸🦅

[@WendyK656]

Oh Cory, I can't wait to see what you do with this cabin! poor Gracie with the bugs and you as well. Love all the Lupine! Love the Moose, Turtles, and how you rescued one turtle

[@marieleopold1625]

Lovely lupines! And abundant critters big n' small. I like the way U respect the animals. Poor Gracie and Cory...the black flies were quite bad. You have one project there = restoring of cabin...I hope you get the job and they understand the work needed to restore. People often do not connect price/labor/work needed. Thanks 4 sharing and keep strong! Health and God Bless! :)

[@irenemeno3585]

Cory and Gracie on another adventure 🏕🐢🐶 Love It ❤

[@TheMaineWoods]

👍

[@judee00]

The joys of living in the great north woods. Where the bugs are so thick you can cut them with a knife! Good video 👍

[@JeremyTGrant]

What a cool spot

[@TheMaineWoods]

Come with us sometime

[@drewc8065]

I really love your videos. I don’t comment to much. However I always look forward to your release. Thank you for producing these.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Cory- the cabin may have some challenges but you are the man who can bring it new life. Beautiful country up there. Take care and God bless

[@TheMaineWoods]

All things considered it’s in great shape for how old it is, a solid roof and being kept off the ground have made it last this long, I’d love to disassemble it and rebuild it not so close to the water

[@ericridgerock9083]

Beautiful place! But as I get older 42 ! The black flys aggravate me so much more then they used to and I live/work / play in northern New England

[@markluke8447]

Beautiful place, will be interesting.

[@TheMaineWoods]

It is!

[@NB88]

The old camp has seen better days but without being there I'd say it doesn't look too bad. I've seen a lot worse! I'll be watching for part 2...

[@TheMaineWoods]

The logs are in great shape

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Awesome video. nice looking cabin. with your tlc it will be a wicked good cabin. great spot that the cabin is at too. :)

[@tracybradshaw9867]

Beautiful cabin! Hope you can salvage it!

[@johnsandell4501]

Great video. You will succeed and the trout will taste great. Enjoy yourselves.

[@TheMaineWoods]

[@sandrathomson1084]

Mornin TMW Cory and Gracie 👋🏻. Thanks for another great video Cory. I really enjoy watching nature. Kudos to you for helping the turtle 👍🏻👍🏻. Looks like y'all are in a sweet spot. Unfortunately the bugs like it too. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Stay safe. God Bless y'all 🙏🏻✌🏻❤😊

[@TheMaineWoods]

Hi Sandra we’re working on the latest video from our recent 8 day trip in the woods

[@jedidiah5131]

Thanks for the video...

[@gregbowden5876]

Besutiful place but I'm itchy watching the bugs. Hi Gracie.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Lol

[@jackofalltrapping6181]

Cabin appears level inside. Looks like it was built right on the ground though. Logs all look good except for some chinking. A little close to the water for me, but another doable project for you. You have the talent and character to accomplish it. Beautiful trout pond. Lots of snappers at my place laying eggs in the sandy soil. Some are downright huge. I see eyes at night where the snappers buried their eggs. Coons and Fox digging them up for dinner. All the best and hope to see the finished project. PeaceY

[@TheMaineWoods]

Your assessment is accurate, way too close to the water, don’t know why it was built that way, it’s sitting on log runners so the cabin itself is not rotten

[@jagaffey]

Those bugs looked so bad it was creeping me out! I don’t know how you or poor Gracie could stand that!

[@garysanders8887]

Another great project for you and gracie..you always hve the best content

[@nursemettsmsn]

Wow I would love that right on the water beautiful

[@MrGeroth]

I really look forward to seeing your videos. I love the outdoors and your videos are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@nh603]

Great trip. Awesome spot. 👍👍 Black flies look friendly

[@debramorris7646]

Great video....can't wait for part 2!

[@stevenschwagel8029]

I love the moose shots❤

[@denimdevotionsme]

Great spot...minus those flys.

[@cyrilbrun8764]

Hey Cory , I like that you bring life back to old cabins . I don't often comment , but seen something quite dangerous on this vid. i thought i'd mention it , as few people would even think of it . I experimented with being overturned out of a boat or canoe with running shoes on , and those boots you have on , and if i could swim . The results are very poor , but at least you can slip shoes off if not tied too tightly --- those boots you have on , its pretty much game over , try an experiment in 6 feet of water , its like rocks on your feet , your buoyancy goes to zero & your very unlikely to get them off , and you'll go down quick . Anyone getting in my boat or canoe takes those boots off or they stay on shore , unless life jackets are available . Just addressing a concern few think of , not trying to be a bonehead . Can't beat an old fixed up cabin , on the water , with good fishing :)

[@TheMaineWoods]

Lol thanks, I’ll test it out

[@ginomenna1768]

By the grace of God Pal Lot of sceaters though lol

[@keart65]

If anyone can save the cabin, you can.

[@kearnsey64]

Moose can dive up to 18 feet deep to reach underwater vegetation!

That's Tom Gardner's camp.

[@zippy979]

Gracie Poo! She’s looking recovered from the bear, but has a lil arthritis in her hips. Does she need a joint supplement and CBD oil?

[@michaeljrladouceur2881]

Are you far from Grand Falls New Brunswick Canada

Cory,where exactly is the cabin,what part of maine?

[@ice-mp5dx]

Is there a natural pet bug repellent that actually works?

[@richardtrumbo164]

Check out Nessmuk's recipe in his Woodcraft book .Not for the vain or weak skinned but I have used it and it works!

Get some Ranger Ready for the both of you. I'm 72 yo and it is THE BEST I've ever used! Bar none.

[@slynkylynx]

Why did The Tortoise cross the road? Because he knew Cory and Gracie were coming and he wanted to be on KZbin! 😄🐢 Was so thrilled to see a new video from The Maine Woods. That lake and cabin are treasures. Keep 'Em Coming Cory! 💪🌲🌲🦌🐕📹🚶‍♂️

[@TheMaineWoods]

😂

[@BryanDenlingerKJVM]

Wow. That is a lot of bugs. Normally when you get out on the water, they aren't as bad. We have also been seeing a lot of snapping turtles around the Patten/Mount Chase area.

[@richardtrumbo164]

Hey friend. Very beautiful nature and great cabin. You can save it! A very worthwhile project for you and shiny black woodsman's pal ! Tell Gracie I said ,"Good Pup, Gracie." Yours in Prayer, Rick Trumbo.

Man…those flies and mosquitoes were fierce! Reminds me of Alaska…a constant cloud around your head, escorting you wherever you go!

I love the time lapse filming. Great video! Keep them coming please.😀🇨🇦

Thanks, will do!

Cabin looks pretty solid, good bones.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Really nice logs 👍

[@AChildofLightHEATHER]

So just out of curiosity how tall are you? I work as a medical assistant and i usually guess peoples height right on, i am going to guess you are 5'8 or 9?😊

[@TheMaineWoods]

5’7”

[@GB-xc7gd]

Wow! An exceptional video of a tiny paradise. I am the first one to comment. The sight of beautiful Gracie, the Lupine flowers, the tiny turtle, cant say no more. Thank you Corey for this beautiful video. As always love the Word of GOD. Waiting for more. Dont forget us when you start working on that cabin.
