The Ambience of Raspberry Rock

[@markwalk29]

Appreciate the relaxing video. Thank you Russel. And a thumbs up to the cameo of bumblebee. :)

[@arthenry498]

THAT was FANTASTIC!!! Russel you just did the greatest tour of the Rock EVER!! I really enjoyed the photography on this one. Loved the water close ups too. The snow blowing out of the trees was magnificent. WOW, that was all good. I think I strained my weasel with all that walking but it was worth it!! I'm impressed, and I enjoyed it VERY much. Thank you.

[@livin_life_321]

Yeah! A full tote of water!! Cool shots of the snow/rain coming out of the trees across the pond.

SPRING: Time for a heart-to- heart talk with your neighbor about the trail. If it were myself, I would simply say: I would like you to agree that I can improve the trail I use to access my property, in a way approved by "x authorities" and at my cost." If she/he says no: legal advice as to legal action. Generally if property is land locked local laws provide relief. You are getting older and access is crucial. Why continue unless you need KZbin content of a lousy situation?

[@garyfairbrother5532]

The fact that the trail is rugged and has a learning curve that those that live there have mastered, with admittedly a few seasonal difficulties, makes it intimidating to outsiders. It’s a deterrent against non-resident hunters, cabin thieves and KZbin lookie-loos the way it is, and if I lived at Raspberry Rock and valued my privacy, it is just the way I’d want to keep it. It would be the moat around my backwoods castle.

[@ernie7065]

@garyfairbrother5532 Very logical; for a healthy man of 40. Seems not prudent for an older person with health issues, or for his lady taking care of him. Plus, with camera technology he can record and see any area of his property from anywhere else.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

@@ernie7065But what can a 40 year old with health problems do when he finds trespasser’s on his property through a high tech surveillance camera? i can’t think of a more dangerous situation than an angry land owner with a gun confronting a beligerant trespassing hunter with a gun. I think it’s much better to not invite them in with a nice groomed “let’s see where that goes” trail. Everyone who lives off grid has to realize that they no longer have quick response fire, disaster or law enforcement protection and must be pro active in making their domain as self reliant as possible. Popular KZbinrs get a lot of stalkers and uninvited drop ins so not laying out a welcome mat is a pretty good passive safety feature. And don’t tell me no one knows where he is in this day and age with Google satellite and all the clues that town videos provide. Besides he’s agreed in previous videos that improving the trail with bridges and clearing is not desirable for the reasons I’ve stated. You are not the first to bring up the subject.

I love this video Russell!! This was some great footage of Raspberry Rock!

[@windchimerainbow136]

Beautiful video! It was fun! And nice to see both of you all healthy again. I finally succumbed to what you and my family, especially my son, have/had. Some crazy (vicious!) virus (not covid, not flu) that has the cough from hell and will not let us go. This is a first for me in many years. But I let myself get too low sunshine D. (That makes a big diff in one's health and immunity.) (And also apparently this is a something I've never had before, hence not much immunity.) Meanwhile, watching you walk around in that lovely scenery, in all the sunshine made me so envious. Now if only some billionaire would take pity on you and build you a real road + bridges... and you and Ray could invent a clever machine that attracts all bugs which get sucked into it and squished into recycleable bug goop... not to mention, you could have all the amenities you desire quickly added to your cabin, including your own little airport with helicopter for frequent trips to town... 'twould make for a super happy you and CG. I could wish for it, anyway. lol

[@agvising3510]

Nice rock walk. Spring has sprung, time to dig a spring to keep tote full. No City Girl rocking bumblebee?

[@markusedma]

Short and sweet. Thanks for the video. Have a great weekend. ✌️

[@cush3230]

What a cold start to the video, then the sun came out then it was cold again. Strange weather your having at Raspberry Rock but at least your pond is full and so is the water jug nest to the porch looks like your all set to begin spring. I really enjoy being with you each Friday, it looks a lot different there than it does here in Kansas. Enjoy yourself. MC.

[@suezaple4950]

Strange weather indeed kinda all over the place down here as well I need some warmth, Great captures around Raspberry rock of the rain, sleet , snow blowing through the trees over the pond. good time to be tucked in the cabin with a nice fire going. such a peaceful place to be though away from the city. Something i need . Thanks for the hike along the trail needed that it is so pretty. awesome video Russel until next time take care see ya on the next one .

[@rubybirdseye1503]

Beautiful!! Loved the snow blowing off the trees and the water and ice. So cold there still. So glad your tote is full!!

[@barbsauve4301]

Lovely photos

[@algonquinbriar5647]

Well done Russell! Excellent tour. Enjoy the Spring weather.

[@scottlangille9900]

Beautiful spot,nice to see the Geese back and the dog's look content. Have a great weekend Russell

[@noemirivera9906]

I enjoyed watching the weather change. Nice job

[@dorothyallen3614]

Beautiful scenery ❤

[@DonnaCouture]

Love the water and ice shots.

[@ernestkooistra1559]

Most beautiful ambience of Raspberry Rock! Pea Soup ✌

[@JohnPatrickBodey]

Another good video of you and the dogs in Canada. I got my weekly fix of off the grid! Thanx.

[@anthonypuccio7868]

Hello Russell. I really enjoy watching your videos. I live in Redbank New Jersey and if you ever wander around these parts I would love to take you and city girl out for a great lunch or dinner. That being said I'm well trained in building and can offer you help in replacing your steps up to the cabin. It looks like there very steep and that takes its toll on the knees after a while. Its great following you along all these years and keep up the great work.

[@carolineindacityphx]

Do you think you will ever put in a second tote? Seems like you could have easily collected more water. I loved it when Willow paused, glanced at the geese, and then decided, nope...just carry on and leave them alone. 😂 And I love how she takes the path of least distance to get back to the cabin. 🖤 No pea soup goodbye? Well, the video was magical, so no goodbye greeting was necessary. Have a great weekend!

[@whaleyboys5801]

Russ the shelter looks like it’s folding up well ..

[@Sandpipercom]

This March its "in like a Lamb, out like a Lion", -13c North of ya. Our maple syurp boils are done, oddly with no snow, on the ground, but the weather clipper broght back the snow and cold. Did did you make any?

[@kengardiner8106]

What a great spot you should take up painting Bob Ross would have been ecstatic painting the pond, trees and the reflection in the water. What a beautiful spot very nice indeed.

[@kathyhensarling2537]

I liked the idea of getting a pump and hose with filters to option water from the pond. Not for drinking, but with a Lifesaver Can you could use it for that as well.

[@thinkabout602]

💚 and ☮ thank you

[@kastah]

wow, must have rained a LOT........the weather is crazy all over the globe, things are happen under our feet.

[@janetwithers7427]

Lovely video of Raspberry Rock. 👍👋💞

[@karenmckay1372]

Hi Russell! You did a great job capturing the ambience of raspberry rock. Loved your footage of the water spilling over the dam highlighting the ice. Thanks for the peaceful walk...I enjoyed it all 😁🍻

[@exploringmybackyard]

pretty amazing what March weather can throw with us😊

[@carolfugaban2071]

Relaxing 😌

[@simonlooker6000]

Lovely

[@janeanson8520]

💕🤩💕…Awesome video!!! I love …little yellow…the digger.

[@MarleneVerdecchio]

You could get that yellow thing and forge a new way in all summer or make a trail around those water problems Just a thought. Nice sunny day in Canada

[@shellyewald9981]

Michigan weather moved to Canada.

[@QuiltedLily]

Good morning from Alberta! 😊

[@sheilaayre4629]

Glad the snow has gone, and just as I said that it started hale storm.

[@truduni2216]

Loved this. If I had the means and ways to be able to do what you're doing. Be off the grid and away from all kinds of people. I would do it, you do the right thing..

[@YvonneSebastian1980]

Hey Russell..short and sweet today huh.. I can dig it.. ❤️☮️

[@robynfedalen1777]

Beautiful area. Your dogs are so sweet. I know one is Willow, but what’s the other one named? Was that dog hair you were picking off of the one?! That’s some major shedding going on there!😂❤️✌🏻

[@eponder8876]

Love the scenery. Has anyone tried trespassing onto your property?

[@DimensionalHorse]

What an awesome video!!! 💜

[@johnmccormick175]

Beautiful property but on a side note why do you not build some hand rails on the stairs going up to the front deck?..someone is going to get hurt ,hopefully not but its an accident waiting to happen?

[@judyschepp8748]

AGREE!!!!!😊

[@Sandpipercom]

Many have committed about this to help with safety, as wooden steps covered with snow are very slippery, but Russel being Russel will put up a railing when slips and falls and hurts his back. Being isolated he must have a stockpile of meds, as it would be a painfully ride out. But then he could slip anywhere due to the terrain. Rule of thumb. When alone, take your time, never rush.

[@ALittleFishintheKitchen]

It's still looking really cold up there, but beautiful as always. So glad you have a tote filled to the top, I know that's a good source of relief for y'all!! I enjoyed the views and the water sounds very much, thanks for sharing them with us. The ambience of Raspberry Rock never fails to be calming and lovely, Russell. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MGE9436]

Hey Russell, not sure if you have watched 99 Projects on YT. He has a little digger like yours, and wow, the stuff he does with it is amazing. The last 2 episodes feature with the digger, how he pulls it apart and fixes a few things plus digs up for a new drive way to his cabin 😂

[@avpr1c]

The planes spraying in the sky has nothing to do with freakish weather

[@sandymoses6302]

Lol the dog knows the trail😂. Do you Russell? I'm from Michigan USA. Howdy. Love ya videos.❤

[@JoReggelt-c3m]

Spring time - time to tidy up around the house 😆or at least hide the rubbish 😁

[@L46C3]

How deep is your pond? Is the pond within your property boundries?

[@paulrobinson3528]

1st, I'm in the middle of the woods walking my dog 🐕

[@DimensionalHorse]

I bet themanonthestreet could fix ur trail with that mini excavator whn he comes to help u with the tool shed build! 😅😊

[@davefrayne6468]

June bug needs attention too!

[@MarleneVerdecchio]

Can u channel some of that run off into a filtration system and use as source of water? Thanks Russ and City Girl.

[@marthaneuhauser1019]

Hi Russell long time no see, fantastic video ❤❤❤❤
