Making the Final Days Count-Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin

[@19sl57]

These videos are nice “getaways” from the crazy times that we are living in. Thank you!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

My pleasure!

[@emilyneal7888]

The cabin, the critters and we will miss you while you’re gone. Watching for next adventure. Take care and tell Vonnie hello for us.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Will do.

[@RenaeSchmaltz]

Your videos always take me back to simpler times that my Mom used to talk about when she was a kid. My mom is gone now, but it sure is nice to reminisce. Thank you to you, Jim and Kevin. 😄

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@backcountrypipe]

This series was a real pleasure to watch every Saturday morning. Regards Mark

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It was sure fun from our viewpoint too.

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Final days? What do you know that we don't know fella!?!? ;)

[@samfinn487]

I love coffee in the snow! Life is good. God bless.

The best of times.

[@nato2959]

Unique Martin... Be allways safe for a very long life.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We do take care out there.

[@wildwillyprepper]

Well folks, it’s another Saturday morning cartoon season finally and this one kinda tugged at the heart strings a bit but not in the way you would think. I think we could all see and somewhat feel the sadness that these two ramblers felt in their voice and demeanour that another mini voyage had ended for them. You could tell beneath the back and forth banter it bothered them. And we felt for our hero’s. But all is not lost, because by the time you are reading this, Laurel and Hardy of the north are already have started the final stages of planning for their next adventure and I’m sure it will be as good or better then the last. Stay tuned!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good plan, working on it.

[@hootwho3640]

Coffee AND breakfast? Yay!!

[@MmmTacos]

Thanks for bringing us Martin, we had such a nice winter. I hope you're summer is even better. And we'll be anxiously awaiting you next winter. See you then!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I will be around sooner than that.

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Sure Did The Best For Your Remaining Time, Thanks Martin & Jim ! ATB T God Bless

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You bet

[@gerardhiggins1]

You two are a fine pair. I could watch you fellas all day. It's funny that, at the exact time that Martin said they've been looking for a way to ship Vonnie"s world famous cherry pies, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I know he's not serious but my mouth waters each time you guys have them. Caramel rolls look great too. Thanks for another great trip to the cabin Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Our food is important to have the best of times.

Thanks

[@jimgoshey4103]

I so much enjoy these videos. I feel like I could sit with Martin, Jim and Kevin and visit like I’ve known them for years. If you ever need a visitor or some help after a storm I’m only a few hours away and I could make it happen. Keep doing what you’re doing!! Oh yea. I’ve also started listening to the Sunday night showcase on am 600. Right up my alley!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Maybe one day! You listen to the North Country Showcase, that means you pass the admittance test. We can discuss more at [e-mail]

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

I have really enjoyed this winter series. I always dread to see the last episode of your trip series videos. As I mentioned before, you’ve inspired this brain tumor warrior to continue to fight the good fight. God bless sir. I’ll be watching for a video from you or Vonnie in the near future. 😎👍

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I have putting up a shack video on the other channel this Sat.

I don't see a missing shoe.....I too am a flurry of activity in my waning day or so at my cabin. I console my slight sadness by doing things prepping for my next visit, kindling, project inventory, critter proofing.....ect.. I truly get it! Including taking the first steps in leaving, the pause to look back at the cabin one more time, before rounding the bend!! Thanks for sharing boys!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You understand oh so well.

[@littlehillsidehomestead6362]

[@skline1398]

Jim and his kindle, love it. They are perfect for traveling light. The other thing I noticed is how after being there for three weeks how the inside of the cabin has your energy in it. When you first get there it’s cold and unlived in.

The cabin does warm up and not just in temperature.

Wow! Had a great surprise Friday when I got back to the concrete plant! I had a care package waiting for me from Martin and Vonnie. Thanks so much for the delicious cookies and that pie!. I saved it for Saturday morning when I got up north. Grabbed lawn chair, a cup of coffee and enjoyed the treats while I listened to the woods awakening from a long winter. Absolutely delightful. Thanks again!

GREAT VIDEO!! I live watching you cook in cabin and when you guys sit and enjoy it. What a great brotherhood you have. Do share how you make your coffee please. How much water to how many scoops of coffee. The old video of when the bear want it in, there was a big discussion about it then I’m curious to see what it’s like now. Thank you! ☕️

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Well a coffee recipe?? I use a Revere ware stainless perk pot at the cabin but not sure on how many full cups it holds. I put in a third cup of coffee for it. The late friend Hawk was the that wanted to perfect the perfect camp coffee. It is all in personal taste and hard to have an exact recipe.Even how long it perks is part of the recipe. I do prefer McCafe medium roast and think it may be the important part of my recipe too.

[@littlered6780]

Bongiorno Martin and Jim, My wife and I (this is her laptop) are saddened to see the season end! As Roy Rogers used to say "Until next time and may the Good Lord take a liken to ya"! We are dying to whip up a batch of caramel rolls but we're on a low carb, no sugar diet! RATS! I have a very important, off topic, question to ask. We've sold our main home, the cabin of 35 yrs is going on the market ASAP and we're closing on 108 acres next month to live out the rest of our lives. We decided to "live" the dream instead of going to it for weekends and weeks at a time (we're retired). My question is: do you carry any protection when you guy's go hiking; be it pepper spray, maybe an air horn, pistol, etc. ? I'm pretty sure wolves won't be an issue but bear scat, moose, etc. is all over the place! I don't believe we'll need it but it's better to ask someone like yourself who has much more experience.. TY and ditto Roy Rogers!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

After walking up on a bear or two I mean to carry the 44 mag pistol but then I just don't. I feel that a decent range bear spray would be the thing that you would strap on each trip. There is always next time but I have bumped into so many black bears over the years and even the sow and cubs I have almost tripped over took off in the other direction every time. Wolves I do not worry about but when they are howling between me and the cabin as it gets dark it would feel better to have a gun along, just to scare them off if they got nosy or thought I was legal game. MOOSE in rut, now that is a real problem so a gun would be nice to have along. No definitive answer here but do what allows you to enjoy your haunts.
