Yes, please keep taking us to the cabin with you! I love watching you two and your sweet fur babies at the cabin. Even when you put in a long, hard day you look so peaceful, rested and complete. Naps are wonderful and I have become a very close friend with them. lol Your meals looked delicious. Thanks for sharing your cabin in the woods adventure with us!
I am new to your channel, and watching you from Ontario, Canada. I was so excited to see your two Dachshunds. I have owned four and miss them so much. Now, seeing your two will bring back sweet memories. I love your location for your cabin. It is so peaceful and the natural beauty of the surroundings must make you feel like you are in another world. It looks like a great spot to decompress and get serenity into your life, while you are up there. I love your thinking about food prep to have meals ready to throw on the grill. Saves a lot of time. I am 77 years, and my husband of 56 years, turns 79, in September. I lead a very quiet life. My husband is bed bound, in the last stage of Parkinson's. He has lost all his abilities so, I look after him, full time, in my home. He would often dream, out loud, about having a cabin in the woods. While I sit quietly, between doing his bed care, I will watch your videos and dream of being in your shoes. Thank You and God Bless. Heather
Sharing a glimpse of life in your cozy cabin in the woods and the anticipation of what's for dinner beautifully captures the charm of simple, rustic living. Your ability to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in such a serene setting highlights both your love for nature and your dedication to making each meal a special occasion. This glimpse into your life reflects a deep appreciation for the small joys and comforts of home, and your thoughtful approach to both cooking and living in the woods is truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life.
We have a picture of my dad sitting at a picnic table and a bear sitting like a human right across from him, and he was feeding the bear marshmallows from his hand. Oh, cabin memories
Oh PLEASE keep doing these! We just recently bought some land with a camp and I love all the cooking ideas…and also just seeing your beautiful property and how you are stewarding it. Blessings to you from Louisiana!
It’s funny as y’all took off on your bikes I literally wondered if you carried out in the woods. I agree about feeling safe at times and not so much at other times, but love the woods. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the cabin visit and hanging out in the woods! Miss "up north" Michigan... lived in Mancelona during my childhood. Blessings Kiddos!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
Just a suggestion i would screen your deck area in so you can sit outside and enjoy what nature has to offer without being eaten alive the scenery is lovely up there
Just found your channel. Really enjoyed. I live in Wisconsin, but grew up in Lake Odessa, Mi. Our high school team played Fremont every year. Love all videos from the great state of Michigan! Go Blue!
Lovely vid! ❤ I am almost off FB, for a while now.. Living over here, mostly! *grin* And I miss seeing your content over there! We had a rat snake IN our house! He was chasing the rats that invaded us! Those nasty Norway Roof Rats. Twice it showed up. Second time it was GROWN! Trying to catch them is interesting! They climb walls! HA! Surprised me hugely! I wasn't expecting it! But I got it coralled and into a shopping bag. Then scooted him outside! 😅 Second time was like 1 year later. That time it just left on its own. My daughter took its picture, so I know how big it got! We haven't had it return, since no rats at the moment. But they definitely Follow Rat Tunnels!
You Changed my life. If it Wasn’t for Todd & Rachel, I Wouldn’t know Where I Would be Today. I Can’t never Thank you Guys Enough. I’ll be forever Indebted to you Guys. If I don’t See you Guys in this Lifetime, I’ll Definitely See you in the Next Life.
I love your dogs I had one that look just like your black and brown one I had him about your 15 years and he passed away 2023 I really miss him he was just like my baby thanks for sharing your videos we us this is my first time watching
Here in Missouri we have lots of black rat snakes. They get really long and love the chicken house, mice and eggs. I don't mind when they come for mice but when eggs disappear, the snake must go. Looked like a black snake to me. Love your channel.
Having a nap during a nice rain, is the best. One of my friends never ever naps during the day, ever. She gets ticked off at people who nap, she isn't jealous, she thinks your very lazy. Very weird.
Such paradise! What a dream ! 😊 Beautiful cabin! Gorgeous property! Enjoy it , you guys deserve the best . You both worked so hard for this dream to come thru! God bless 🙏🏻
Where your cabin IS very beautiful.Thank you for taking us along the bike ride this time.Your dogs are very beautiful as well The kinder season that I use is the kinder's butter steaks season is in the garlic Butter and herb seasoning
Rachel - I've lived in Mi my whole life, make many trips to Marquette, MI (UP North) and I've only seen one black bear - from the comfort of my car, crossing US127, Still on the look out for a moose!
It’s nice to see this video from Michigan. I live in Freeland Michigan and I love it! Michigan is a beautiful state! Your fur babies are sweet. ❤ Yikes…I hate snakes!
I live in Arkansas and see snakes just like that trying to get into my chicken pen to steal eggs nearly every week. We call them "chicken snakes," but their speckled bellies always give them away as regular old rat snakes.. Funny story....we had a storm come through our area not too long ago in which our house gutters became clogged and we had to clean them out. Included with all the storm debris that my husband was able to clean out was a six foot rat snake. After that, I officially retired from cleaning gutters around our home and cabin.
I live just south west of the Amish store you speak of. Love that Amish country store. Is your cabin a year round living adventure? Such a beautiful place. I just found this site, follow Rachel's adventure in canning and gardening. Thoroughly enjoyed your adventures and stories.
It's just a rec property. Usually at least one trip per month. In winters if the snow is bad we can't really make it back there. None of the trails are plowed or anything. Glad you found us on our second channel.
We are so coveting your woodsy get away. Getting ready to retire but want to go further north. Blessings to you very beautiful people. Your hard working ethics have rewarded you.
I’m from Michigan. I’ve never seen that big of a snake here in this state. Just love the Upper Peninsula and anything past Big Rapids. Are those Traverse City cherries? 🍒 Hope to get to the U.P soon for some camping and definitely for the fall season. 🌻
In Maine, we call it, "we ah goin ta camp! 😂❤. Great meals you two!😊 I'm a recent subscriber and just love your channel. Glad you didnt run into a black!!😮. Gotta go, need to binge more episodes 😂😂❤❤
Todd Todd Todd...you are a hoot❤🎉 write the date,cut,and marinade flavor on the bag before putting in the freezer 😂😂love the forgetful stuff you two do when you're so busy...I say you title videos "surprise dinner"😂😂😂glad you had fun!! You two and your dogs need a wood shed...steak tartar is always an option ❤😁
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey. I always love cooking. Cherries 🍒 BTW help prevent gout. They say 9 a day. But l won't stop at 9, lol. God bless you all and many prayers. 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
We do an Amish store run twice a month and I've budgeted in $800 for shopping there. My hubs was deployed for 3 solid years and while he was away, I budgeted $1500 per month. I backed off when he got back in 2023 July. We have a rather large farmhouse (over 150 years old) that's 4.5 stories. I don't intend for us to be caught wanting if things go sideways. And things are looking rather hinky of late.
We see lots of black and brown bears in Northern California they are amazing animals. I'm not scared of them but we have a fairly large population of mountain lions and they can scare the neck out of me. Fun video, cabin life.
I was just thinking of asking you after I watched the video if you carried because of bears. Yes one may run the other way but not a momma protecting her cubs 😣when I go walking that’s my concern because we have bears here in Northeast Connecticut 😮 Love the peaceful videos at your cabin, thanks for sharing 😊
sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. depends on where we're headed usually. i also got some bear spray for Rachel - as sometimes in the morning she likes to hike the trails alone.
I wouldn't leave ice chests full of food sitting on the deck...that's bear bait. Beautiful cabin!
This channel is so peaceful. I cant wait for Todd to join Rachel in retirement ❤
Yes, please keep taking us to the cabin with you! I love watching you two and your sweet fur babies at the cabin. Even when you put in a long, hard day you look so peaceful, rested and complete. Naps are wonderful and I have become a very close friend with them. lol Your meals looked delicious. Thanks for sharing your cabin in the woods adventure with us!
We have (2) new cabin videos in the queue, almost ready to go ♥
Your hard work clearing the property sure shows in this video! Gorgeous! Dinners look fabulous as always. Thanks for sharing!
Please add some more veg to your meals

Did you catch this one? ua-cam.com/video/Sg-BbiGNBl0/v-deo.html Plan on using this a lot more in the fall / winter.
Well I think you are brave to venture out away from your cabin! Love your cabin. These videos are so fun.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for taking us to the cabin with you! Your meats were inspirational! I always like watching Todd cook!
Love watching the dogs. They do just like my dachshund, sit there and stare at you while you eat. ❤
Mine looks at me when I’m not eating. Do u know anything about that?
It’s funny as y’all took off on your bikes I literally wondered if you carried out in the woods. I agree about feeling safe at times and not so much at other times, but love the woods. Thanks for sharing.

FB is really annoying sometimes. It's so not very creator friendly as a posting platform, but i hate having all our eggs in a single platform (YT).
Agreed. I go back and look tor your content. Its pretty well all i do there now. Lol
Hi Tod and Rachel,
Great Show, I live in mid Michigan. Onondaga. Thanks for sharing!

Yes that's a harmless rat snake.
Thank you so much for trying to educate and not promote fear and ignorance.
Education is the key.
This must be an oldie, but goodie. I feel like I've seen this before. But I always love the videos involving cooking 😊
2 hot-diggity-dogs! You must be wonderful people because hot dogs are very special. Take care.
Food looks really good. Beautiful scenery, of course and really love your dogs... ❤❤
I love your dogs I had one that look just like your black and brown one I had him about your 15 years and he passed away 2023 I really miss him he was just like my baby thanks for sharing your videos we us this is my first time watching
Our boy is 10, and the girl (black) is 9. They are our little buddies ♥
I love the cabin episodes, but maybe that is because I grew up in the area.
Love Michigan cherries!
Here in Missouri we have lots of black rat snakes. They get really long and love the chicken house, mice and eggs. I don't mind when they come for mice but when eggs disappear, the snake must go. Looked like a black snake to me. Love your channel.
I always look forward to what's for dinner ❤
Also we always see what's for dinner 😊
But what's for breakfast or lunch 😊
Breakfast and lunch are usually super simple. Sausage, Eggs, maybe Oatmeal. And lunch just whatever really, we only go all out on Dinner.
@@toddrachel sounds good to me 😁
Having a nap during a nice rain, is the best. One of my friends never ever naps during the day, ever. She gets ticked off at people who nap, she isn't jealous, she thinks your very lazy. Very weird.

Cleanest grill ever!
We try. Most of the guts were brand new a year or so ago, and we don't use it a ton.
I just stumbled upon your channel. I frieken love it !!! Much love from Idaho🍻💪🏻
Welcome, so glad you found us ♥
I love it, you have such a peaceful life!

Hi guys. I just love your cabin videos.Those rocking chairs are beautiful. Will you be doing any fishing Todd?
Usually in the fall during the Salmon runs.
I live in Arkansas and see snakes just like that trying to get into my chicken pen to steal eggs nearly every week. We call them "chicken snakes," but their speckled bellies always give them away as regular old rat snakes..

New subscriber. I too live in Michigan. Keep the snakes all “up north” by you. 😊
Ok, will do 😀
Up North… when you cross the Zilwaukee Bridge on I-75. Or any place that is not home, simple and relaxing!
well said.great couple.
My husband always said he would "protect you if you can keep up with me". With you about the bears.
😇
I’m from Michigan. I’ve never seen that big of a snake here in this state. Just love the Upper Peninsula and anything past Big Rapids. Are those Traverse City cherries? 🍒 Hope to get to the U.P soon for some camping and definitely for the fall season. 🌻
Not Traverse specifically. The entire NW region of the LP is great for fruit. There are so many orchard in Oceana county.
I just came across your videos and I'm hooked THANK YOU❤❤

I love the sweet music.
Thank you
Check for ticks and on the dogs too!
We always do. The dogs have meds for it.
Love your cabin visits. You should get one of those Thermacell machine for mosquitoes they work great. Property looking good.m
Do they really work? I always thought they were kind of just another snake oil thing.

They were indeed!
Up north. Hey 51 and US 2 !!
Very nice video. I would love a little cabin like you have in the woods. ❤❤❤
“Upta camp” is what we say in Maine!
I like that 😃
Love these videos! What are the little round balls on the dogs collars?
they are little lights. click to turn them on once it gets dark outside, so we can keep track of where they are: amzn.to/3YgTQQL
Beautiful place.
Thanks for visiting
I'm from Muskegon Michigan.
Appalachian mountains South Eastern Kentucky ❤
Used one 3 weeks ago the chane saw is good😊
I would love to retire in Michigan. I am originally from Detroit but I would love to be in Traverse City. ❤
Thanks for taking us along. Loved it! ❤
clare is the gateway to the north but I say it's before that lol
you know it, when you feel it 😃
@@toddrachel I agree I go to Vestaburg only a little over an hour from Lansing and that is up north to me or northwest from me like Rachel says lol
We do an Amish store run twice a month and I've budgeted in $800 for shopping there. My hubs was deployed for 3 solid years and while he was away, I budgeted $1500 per month. I backed off when he got back in 2023 July. We have a rather large farmhouse (over 150 years old) that's 4.5 stories. I don't intend for us to be caught wanting if things go sideways. And things are looking rather hinky of late.
We don't have a ton of spare for storage at the cabin, but back at home we do. So we stock up whenever we can.
We see lots of black and brown bears in Northern California they are amazing animals. I'm not scared of them but we have a fairly large population of mountain lions and they can scare the neck out of me. Fun video, cabin life.
❤❤❤❤❤ love this! New Subscriber here 😊
Welcome, so glad you found us ♥
I was just thinking of asking you after I watched the video if you carried because of bears. Yes one may run the other way but not a momma protecting her cubs 😣when I go walking that’s my concern because we have bears here in Northeast Connecticut 😮
Love the peaceful videos at your cabin, thanks for sharing 😊
sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. depends on where we're headed usually. i also got some bear spray for Rachel - as sometimes in the morning she likes to hike the trails alone.
I have bear spray and human spray my son bought for me. He gave me orders not to leave home without them. 😊
Did anyone else want to tell Todd to look under his napkin at 5:26.
