THIRTY BELOW!!AGAIN Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin

Deep snow and cold temps but the cabin was nice and cozy.

[@bonniejo5246]

Hahaha! What a great idea to keep the toilet seat toasty behind the stove. That cracked me up! Wish I could do that at home!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Simple pleasures!!

[@vicsillnorth7970]

What about using a seat made out of styrofoam? I know that they feel warm in some minus degrees (celsius) but not sure when it’s colder.

[@arlenekorth2253]

I know it was a big effort to get into the cabin at this time of the year but oh how i loved seeing this video. And the smiles and companions always make my day as well. Thank you all for your efforts to provide great content.

[@Tonytonytony948]

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

A little harder to get the camera out but sure is worth it.

[@firebird866]

Your friend looks as happy as any man I have ever seen! I'll bet he is a joy to hang out with!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

He is a trooper.

[@bowlmeoverva]

Martin posted another video.. Time to make the coffee. Tuna helper anyone?

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Hey, the tuna was a hit after that trek.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Excellent video. Beautiful out there in the woods.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It sure is

[@augustreil]

Love that wood stove. You two stay safe, warm and enjoy those cherry pies !

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We sure did all that.

[@jan6293]

Martin, Kevin’s smile say’s it all. I laughed when Kevin said 30 bellow is a little chilly 🥶 Good memories!!!❄️

[@bradirwin5345]

I like the comment only 3 miles to go;)

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

All in perspective.

[@deannaclayton6934]

Your cabin looks so welcoming after that long hike in. I love my cabin but know I couldn’t handle the those frigid temperatures. Don’t know how you guys hiked in all that way!! Thanks for bringing us along and take care.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

A step at a time and enjoyed the journey.

[@michaelpence468]

Keep that fireplace stoked up!! Stay warm Martin!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We did.

[@shabbatman370]

Good morning Martin. I have a feeling you are going to have a rocking good time during this stay.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We did.

[@iamgoddard]

Wow, amazing how warm it is in the cabin with polar temps outside!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thankful for that.

[@iamgoddard]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1, thank you for sharing! Keep warm! :-)

[@mroy88]

As I watch this in Ottawa, ON, it's -26 Celsius. It's so nice to see winter 2022 cabin episodes. Hopefully Jim will make it up this year.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Next month is in the planning stages.

[@MitchellTickle1962]

Hello Martin, hope you two enjoyed your cherry 🍒 pies ! Wow, watching this sure brought on some chilly-whillies up my arms & back. You certainly brought back memories shoveling snow up against the cabin. We kid's back in the day enjoyed banking up snow against the house. It does make a world of difference. Don't over do yourselves there in the wilderness, we're not getting any younger. Take care.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

We do pace ourselves.

[@remingtonwingmaster6929]

Martin, I really, really enjoyed this. You sir, are indeed a true Northwoodsman. For those who have never experienced dragging sleds and packs through miles of snow, believe me, it isn't easy. You can dress for the cold as you do generate extra heat as long as you keep moving, but at some point (like -30°) it does become a little sketchy. Take care and I look forward to seeing future videos.... big salute from a Minnesotan.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

At -30 we do curtail our outdoor pursuits till it warms around noon.

[@tddstl3166]

Been waiting for this video for almost a year! Thank you as always Marty.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

That is one way to put it.

[@timbo1967]

Fantastic Martin!! You were right on the money with the Winter Trip to the cabin coming up!! I don’t know how you do it with the temperature being so low. It certainly makes for fantastic viewing. Looking forward to the rest of the trip. Kindest regards from a very warm Australia🇦🇺

[@robertadams2857]

Hello 🇦🇺.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good wool makes all the difference.

I see you know the secret.

[@joer5627]

Always a pleasure to see your video. Thank you

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for watching.

[@justindutcher1300]

Love that you had the toilet seat warming inside! My great uncle had a cabin in Wyoming at Medicine Bow National Forest…he heated with wood stoves and fireplace…he did have electricity and a two seater outhouse…He had an electrical switch inside the cabin that he could turn a light on in the outhouse and also had a space heater in that outhouse…it was always warm in it when you had to go to the bathroom!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I actually have a switch by the door that turns on an LED light in the outhouse but no heater.

[@jonce6750]

Great video's martin thanks keep um coming

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

At least three more from this trip.

[@weaver7249]

Martin - you take the cake. I just love the trips you take in the winter. How do you do it? You’re strong as an ox! No wonder Vonnie doesn’t come with you. The dear girl would freeze - I freeze watching you. You boys do have fun - God bless.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes I do! The warm cabin makes it so enjoyable and SAFE.

[@backcountrypipe]

Beautiful time to be in the woods.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

It sure was.

[@nonap5225]

This old lady from southeast Mississippi would not be able to handle that cold weather. Only have seen snow that stayed for several days before melting may be a dozen times in my 78 years here in the Deep South. Down here we do not even have warm enough clothes to handle those kind of temperatures. Warm toilet seat sure helps I am sure. I can not deal with your cold weather and bet you could not deal with our hot humid weather where I am. Guess we all deal with what we have to in this life. The snow is pretty but you can keep it. God bless and keep you and Vonnie and your friends safe.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I think your sentiments on the snow is why so many like seeing me in it.

[@rebeccapratt3089]

That is so funny,being the youngest of 9,all the other kids were always dong school activities,church,one night I was bummed,my Uncle asked me why so sad I said cause never be old enough,so he had me get dressed up,he told my grandma he was taking me out to get a country dog steak,they were the best chili dogs ever,I was 11,now 60.great memories,love the video

Martin, it is good to see you in the sub-zero north country. I am relieved you are not on your own. We are near the same age. I have spent a number of nights in a tent below zero with BSA. The BSA buddy system makes sense for youths and even more sense for old farts like us. Love you, Brother! Take care of yourself, Vonnie could never replace you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes, with age and those temps the buddy system is so important. I am going to the InReach satellite messenger too so we can actually message back to the buddy stoveside if there is an issue.

[@scottclay4253]

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Glad to hear that, Martin. Take care and thanks for sharing your adventures.

It is amazing what some will do and endure just to have some cabin time in extra below freezing temperatures. Wood stoves do come in handy when its cold. Thanks for sharing Mr. Martin and have a grand day.

Very true! Not my favorite time to be at the cabin because of the really long nights but still great times.

[@kevintulak9987]

I thought you would have the dawg of yours trained to come and meet you when you arrived at the trail head. We are finally through our very long cold snap, it is almost plus one (c) as I am watching this. We are into very deep slush and ice now. Thanks for sharing.

Winter is by far my favorite season and I've been 'impatiently' waiting for a good layer of snow but it just doesn't seem to want to come! Got plenty of -40C temperatures though, so the arctic gear is getting its value this year.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Oh wow! The snow we had was extremely dry stuff. Talked to a friend last night and snowmobilers are noting that it is not doing the best job cooling their sleds because so little water content in it.
