The Last Cabin on the Saint John River

This old trapper cabin at Nine Mile on the St. John River was built by Camille Beaulieu. He died in 2006. In 2015 the "Lost Cabin Hunters" who are now called the "Maine Cabin Masters" renovated the cabin installing a standing seam metal roof and flooring. In this episode I work on finish projects around the cabin, fly the drone and play guitar on the porch.
This cabin is an official North Maine Woods campsite and is open to the public on a first come first served basis.#logcabin #offgrid #cabinbuilding

There is nothing like the love of a great dog and Gracie is just that. She sure loves her daddy. You are about as close as you can get to GOD here on earth. Loving what he created and sharing it with us. Thanks for being a man of faith. Thanks for the video. Stay safe and enjoy life.

I know how it is to do what you are doing and it brings back so many great memories.

Love your channel. 🦆

Great way to end my day, watching you and Gracie. I think Gracie is telling you when to take breaks when she comes up for some hugs. The cabin is just transformed from what it was. That bench is the bomb! Thanks Corey be well.

[@TheMaineWoods]

She is definitely telling me when to take breaks and to go for a walk, she’s a great help with that

Such a sweet dog!

[@juniper9549]

The cabin is looking amazing man, Gracie reminds me soooo much of my girl Remington Remi Jo. Louisiana Blue Weimaraner. She looks like Gracie just bigger ears and the barrel chest weimeys get. But she looks black and acts identical. I watched your how Gracie came to you Video. Amazing how animals are brought to us. Mine was thrown out of a car at 3 weeks old at my baseball field and I took her home. Beginning of our story. Dam Baseball ⚾️ dog lol 😂 she will chew a cover off in less than a minute lmao 😆 Your a good man, you do amazing things!! Keep on trucking bud.

Congratulations!! You're the first person that I have ever seen on these shows use their "Draw Shave" properly. Canting the draw shave at a slight angle, allows it to cut so much easier, than pulling it straight toward you at 90 degrees to your work. Back in the day when I was a youngn trying to keep up with my granddad, he taught me how to survive in the woods and how to build with just a buck saw, hot iron (make peg holes) and an ax.

[@cabotbluegill]

Wow this great for sure my dad and Ballard who hunted many years in Nine mile spoke of Camille in a great way. He had sport camps that he rented out to sportsmen and at night he would pole his canoe to these camps to check on the sucess. There is another camp somewhere in the area that belonged to John Kissane he was an attorney that had a float plane. He would fly his plane to his camp and Camille guide him fishing some and took care of his camp when he was not there. Kissane helped put Camille s daughter through college. One story i can relay quit clear is if Camille was guiding you fishing and you caught a large trout, he would trace it on a board. My dad saw some of those boards and said they were impressive

[@TheMaineWoods]

Camille was an interesting guy, there used be 4-5 pound brook trout in the river as well as landlocked salmon, those days are gone.
