Working on the Off Grid Log Cabin in one of the most Remote Places in the Maine Woods (with a dog)

This old trapper cabin at Nine Mile on the St. John River was built by Camille Beaulieu. He died in 2006. In 2015 the "Lost Cabin Hunters" who are now called the "Maine Cabin Masters" renovated the cabin installing a standing seam metal roof and flooring. In this episode I returned to the cabin to clean up the site and straighten out the cabin so I can then jack and level it. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the wildlife, and the sights and sounds of nature. Campfire cooking and hammock camping with my dog.
This cabin is an official North Maine Woods campsite and is open to the public on a first come first served basis.#logcabin #offgrid #cabinbuilding

Maine is my happy place. I just bought 7.5 acres in Swanville on the lake, so that I can make my place for peace. There is just something different about this wilderness, this vibe, this connection.

What man wouldn't want to have his own rustic cabin in the woods to work on? .......You are living a life that we old men have wished we could have lived but now It's too late........Thats why we all subscribe to your channel........Thank you so much.......

[@davidmoore9945]

@@TheMaineWoods you have done a great job! You never have to feel bad for taking a break or stepping away! You’ve done your part and you should be EXTREMELY proud. I am just grateful that you shared so much with us. Thanks Cory, and God bless for your caring heart. I’ll be watching any of your videos as long as you’re making them. I’ve never been any further North than Acadia National Park, but at least I’ve gotten to see it through your eyes and your lens!

Cory Great video, loved it, However please tell me that was either instant coffee or you had a filter for the grounds? I love coffee but the grounds not so much. Keep up the great work.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Andrew, it’s cowboy coffee, the vortex and cold water sink the grounds to the bottom so there’s none when you pour

[@TheMaineWoods]

I’m not one of those hardcore mountain men that chewed the grounds lol
