Too wet to work outside so most of the day is spend cleaning and organizing the cabin interior.

I bought a special order cargo trailer 14x7 with 5, 30 x15 windows and ramp back door . Built a wall in the back so you open the ramp door use it as a patio and I built a wall across the back with a screen wooden screen door and a hard door and built the inside like a log cabin with snowshoes on the wall ,coonskin cap,a old sleigh and other things . I feel like this guy does when hes in his cabin and it's a great feeling. Also a memory foam mattress with hand made quilts ,small 2 door refrigerator freezer ,sink ,leather loveseat with a hand built sleigh coffee table.

Sounds like a winner.

Isn't it amazing when water is not readily available what a valuable commodity it becomes. At our camp, dish rinse water became the water you used in the pail by the door to rinse off your sandy feet before coming in. Great post Martin...you always make me think.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

My rinse water if often left on the counter and used to wash my hands and then a little sanitizer.

[@chrishelms1967]

My Grandmother had that same white and blue coffee pot when I was a kid in the 70s, its amazing what you remember for no reason.

[@jimmyd8206]

It must have been a popular design, as I certainly remember ours from the 1970's.

[@vonnieskitchenmartinsshack5544]

Actually we must own about 5 of them! We put 2 on the wood stove as humidifiers in the winter. I pick mine up at Goodwill. They are rock solid and give me flashbacks, too. The wife

No neighbors so if it is warm enough I just take a sponge bath out in the yard.

[@outdoorsforever1027]

I have the same coffee pot and tea pot......relics of the late 60s and early 70s. I watch a lot of Cabin and outdoor videos. Many folks fill theirs cabins with the most modern and up to date do-dads and conveniences. Martins is the best. His is filled with items that I’m sure are filled with memories and fond feelings of days past, friends and family long passed. Using the old items and learning to get by with what’s on hand is most of the fun. That and telling tales of where it came from and experiences and fun times that went on at the time. Its not the prettiest cabin by far, but to me the most Beautiful and wonderful of all.

[@triciaanddennisb9548]

What a life, that chicken dinner looked delish, man it made me hungry

[@dejonsmall9886]

Martin, as much as you chow down, it's a wonder that you're not as big as the cabinet..LOL. Watching you do the dishes brings back memories of growing up in the country of Arkansas. We used to burn burlap in barrels (smoke) to keep the skeeters at bay. You should carry a handgun when out on your walks. It's best to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. You are definitely living the dream for a lot of us...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

The only way to survive at the cabin in the summer bug season would be those burlap smudge fires so I will wait to return until fall.

[@mrdfoutz]

Aha! That's the first time I recall seeing the space above the door. Now I see where the cups are mounted. I had commented on another episode asking about the location, thinking they were on the opposite wall. I'm learning!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Might need another in depth tour of the inside of the cabin.

Phooey! No bath shots. Just kidding. In my younger years, I was in Girl Scouts, and we went camping all time time, and always in the rain (Pacific NW). Your videos take me back in time. You are so fortunate to have that cabin and the ability to keep it well maintained and visit often. Thanks for sharing with us.

I have camped in the rain a lot and really appreciate a wood stove and a roof.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

Same for me Martin, the chicken/turkey is just a technicality...love stuffing. I make classic breadcubes from bread, enough butter to saute 3 celery and 3/4 medium/lg onion, broth, egg, 1 tsp poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. In the bird or setting just outside...I like the toasted stuffing too and gravy. Now I am going to have to get that out of the freezer... :)

Great job my friend I love your video you make them I have always a cabin in the north woods God Bless

You do Cinderella duties and decorating with a grand northern flare.. just need some plaid window treatments... as a kid we played cards tables of people (dirty neighbor) when it rained in Minnesota..at a really old and big fishing resort (gone with the exception of one or two buildings birch trees gone too) during Muskegon season when the fish were bigger than me... a lot of the boats were launches old Chris crafts boats inboards. That had a. deep bubbling sound...

[@ralphmollard5474]

My best friend and I grew up together, our wifes were also best friends who grew up together. Two years ago they and their daughter were planning a trip to Ireland but his wife passed away unexpectedly . One night when we went out to dinner he ask my wife and I if we would go with him and his daughter on the Ireland trip. His family came from Ireland . He had done some research on the Jameson 's and named some of the family. It was sort neat to go to place and see pictures of the people he talked about. Went to a castle that was owned by three Jameson sisters and to the place where whiskey was made.......and none of us drink. It's such a lovely country and a great trip.

Roast chicken on a cool rainy day? Perfection.

[@KG-xt4oq]

I didn't think it was possible. I thought I had watched every one of your cabin videos...heck, I've watched some 3, 4, even 5 times by now. Usually when I rewatch one, there's one particular thing that happens during the video (either something you do or say) that cues me in and reaffirms that I have indeed watched it before. Didn't have that happen with this one; don't know how I missed it. I did move during the 2nd half of July in 2019 (shortly after my father passed), but I know I've watched the videos that were uploaded just prior to and right after this one... At any rate, it was a nice surprise...kinda like having a 'bonus' video, albeit from a couple years ago...lol.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

And for some reason this video really had a lot more views than the others.

[@retiredyeti5555]

Amazing how a small space can get disheveled in short order, isn't it? I am always working at keeping my den/guest room from becoming a hoarders' hell, but we have a tendency to stick stuff in here that we don't have a place for immediately. Usually stuff we don't want to take down to the basement right away. At least now the bed can be used as a bed! That was a nice little jaunt you took! Stay safe.

Hello Martin , Lucy here from across the pond, lovely dinner you cook , thank you for the walk , you are such a nice guy , cabin nice and tidy, all clean, cooking great, maybe a new cover for your comfy chair, i wish I had a cabin in the wild, tired of living here, lots of love and blessings , see you soon*

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Need to patch that chair, maybe I can turn the cushion around. Before I filmed that 360 view I commented that maybe I dared show the whole cabin after a day of cleaning. I like to let others explore the background in my videos as many see interesting things I take for granted.

[@dorothydemaree7544]

TheNorthwoodsman1 Thank you for the panorama- the perfect glimpse of what we all would love to call our own cabin in the woods. The chair cushion owie is nothing more than as a nick in one of the endearing porcelain tubs. Give me nicks and their stories any day over look but don’t touch :)

[@guysview]

My mother showed me how to make chicken and dressing the same way. And bake bread also.

[@doctorwork]

@sallynse It's only stuffing if it's cooked inside the bird. As Martin said, not much fits in a chicken, so calling it dressing seems reasonable.
