Wet Times at the Cabin-Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin

[@sshaw4429]

It’s amazing how as we get older, we have such appreciation for birds. When I was young I didn’t notice much. Now I spend 100$ on bird food and snacks.

[@tedconroy5074]

Martin, everytime I watch your videos I am taken back to my favorite place on earth, the forest. Just the sounds of birds,the breeze, and a special place.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad to hear it

[@frederickmoller]

Martin, we are glad to see you back at the cabin!🥰

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Us too!

[@cjclark5094]

Thanks again for showing us a simpler way of living!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You bet!

[@guyazbell7844]

Martin your really living the dream just got out of the hospital for liver kidney transplant along with stomach surgury and heart issues I know the incredible healing that is possible once you get out of the rat race God richly bless you Sir.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I know you must be so much better with a functioning liver.

[@geraldnichols1853]

Big thing I love about the videos is the narration and always able to learn something. Nothing better than when it rains on a steel roof at the cabin. Last weekend I was up north I was busy but big rain came I shut everything off just to listen. Nothing better.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Some hard rain and hail footage coming up.

Hi Martin. I really enjoyed your drive in. I like your "summer" enclosure for enjoying the great outdoors. Bare feet! Hard to imagine after your "snow" videos. Thanks for the videos. SR

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Changes with the seasons, the screen tent really was nice when the bugs arrived.

[@nonap5225]

I always enjoy your videos. Love Vonnie’s cooking videos also. Would love to have a cabin in the middle of no where just to get away from all this crazy stuff going on in our country right now. I think we all need somewhere to hide for awhile just to stay sane. Thanks again for taking us all away into your calm world. God bless. From deep southeast Mississippi.

[@craftylozza9078]

I agree Nona.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Maybe one day!

[@scottclay4253]

Nice surprise to see your new adventure. The sounds of rain on the roof and the crackle of a fire in the stove combined with the smells of new rain, wood smoke and coffee, a little taste of Heaven right here on earth! Thanks for bringing us with you, Martin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks 👍

[@edwilder9182]

Hello Martin looks like you are happy to be back at the cabin, I own the old one room schoolhouse back in the hill country where I went to school as a boy ,I’m always happy when I get back there it sets close to a creek I feel at peace with the world setting there listening to the creek flowing and the birds . I almost forgot the school house sets about a mile and a half from anyone else back in the hills in Kentucky.I always enjoy watching you at the cabin.you have a great time at the cabin

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Nice note Ed. Here in IL we live in what was a one room school house until the early 50's. My mom came from Greensburg.

[@toddt6023]

Wheeu! I didn't think I was gonna make it without you on Saturday mornings. 😂 Glad you're back!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Enjoy!

[@tomdale1313]

[@shirleywilliams7027]

happy to see you back at the cabin I was needing something like this it is always so relaxing to watch your videos of the cabin I hope one day I can retire and have a cabin like that that would be Pure Heaven

[@jimgoshey4103]

Glad to see you back at the cabin for your spring trip. It’s crazy how last year was so dry with the drought and yet the winter was near record snowfall combined with the spring rains and we are back to normal already. Looking forward to this spring series. I know the mosquitoes are terrible here in Minnesota and I don’t blame you for not spending the summer up here. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

You got that right!

[@jbthor9032]

Nice Martin 👍 I haven't seen you for a while so I decided to tune in. Love the north country and all that God provides us with. Fun with the J's. I wish I could come visit you but I like what I see on this cellphone. Look forward to your next adventure ✨️ 😀

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Thanks for coming

[@davestelling]

Sure looks different there than when you & Jim were working in all that snow last winter. Thought I heard some blue jays squawkin' too. Thanks for all these neat adventures, Martin. Take care...

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I think the Blue Jays are finding all the stashed food the Canada Jays carry off.

[@dogmom6010]

Hi I've been long time subscriber. Like you I have a remote deer camp in northern mid Michigan. We're both getting older and that only means it takes longer to recover from the daily grind. Take care and I'll keep watching

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I know I have not been that interested in maintaining trails that I used to want to have in shape for hiking and skiing. Now I am putting more into making the close trails a little nicer. Had a Bursa hurting during this stay so I really took it easy and found that sitting around the yard and cabin fit me very well.

[@dogmom6010]

Hi you have inspired tons of gentle getting older boys not men at heart to get outside and fail or win. I'm headed for that dreaded biopsy of prostate to see what's going on with psa numbers. Not going to waste anytime dwelling on it just go about my day. Thanks for sharing your passion with me

[@JB-dz1zc]

Nice different video! Always nice to see how you go about getting in and out of the cabin! I like the screen tent! Have a great week... 👍 😉

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@markleblanc291]

I have been looking forward to this video! It never gets old!

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

And that has surprised me. I know I never tire of the cabin and new things always seem to present themselves or just old friends returning.

[@wildwillyprepper]

It’s Saturday morning show time again with the new season starting off not to disappoint. You can tellwith the bounce in the step and the pep in the voice that our main character was so glad to be back. I’m sure once the cabin was in first sight that un scratch-able itch was finally scratched and a little prayer to say thanks was said. When the hardest part was aiming the water jugs right that left plenty of time to hear the birds sing, the stove crackle and the sound of rain on a tin roof. Welcome back sir, the cabin missed you.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good time for sure.

[@markwesolowski9384]

Good to see you back at the cabin.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

[@juliegogo2941]

I never see and chipmunks...do you have any? Awesome what a sweet immature Jay bird. Funny! You don't want the car to end up in hawks pond! Black rain barrel with pump you'd have your shower. I call the Blue Jay's the coppers of the neighborhood...they patrol and are a very loud alarm system. Thanks

No chipmunks but the Red Squirrels are not much bigger and very photogenic.

Morning! At least the forest fire danger is really low. Plan on heading to Bissett and then a 80 K flight north to canoe the area for 5 weeks. I will bring a bug tent this year just in case the hatch continues later than usual.

[@thomaskissell2416]

That new camera that you got looks just like my Canon power shot SX510 HS. Mine has been laying in a drawer for 8 yrs. Now, I am going to use it to film my channels videos. It allows 10 min of video, and I can do 5 of those for the battery and SD card.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Yes that is the camera I picked up as a back-up.

[@skline1398]

It was interesting to see the road into the cabin. I don’t recall ever seeing that before. It give a good sense what the trek in during the winter months must be like. I looked like you had a roof leak? Hope your bedding didn’t get wet.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

This road is on the east side and the forest road leading to it is not always plowed in winter and that is when we come in the three miles through the swamps from the west. The sheeting you see was a but net I threw over by sleeping area just in case.

[@beaandmaddy6623]

Nice video, never noticed the screened tent before. Do you use it much? Keeps the bugs off you. Stay healthy. 🙂

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I do not always need it but with all the high water I knew the bugs would arrive soon.
