This is what goes on at the cabin on a typical day. This is my get-a-way cabin but does not differ from what one would desire as a survivalist or a prepper.

I grew up in MN on a little homestead and was glad to leave in 1977 to more to Oregon. I found your videos and didn't really care for them. And then............... they started to grow on me. Now I look forward to watching them. I feel that you have peace in your life that I wish I had. Thank you. I am 70 years old now and the sand in the bottom of my hour glass is a lot more than in the top. Your peace seems comforting.

Dennis, the cabin provides a peaceful place for me but would be chasing after the wind if not for the true peace that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ instill in me.
