    Hey Martin,
    God bless you! Yes, I know your answer to that! My wife and I built our dream cabin 10 years ago. I started a second smaller cabin down our trail and hope to complete it this spring. It will be a great place to "getaway" without having to drive so far. Thanks for sharing and inspiring so many for so long!

    Ah, Martin in the morning!
    A perfect way to start the day.
    May I suggest that for your next Firestarter adventure that you take an empty toilet paper roll and fill it full of dryer lint (not too tightly packed) and then wrap it in a piece of wax paper and twist the ends, looking somewhat like a big tootsie roll. Light the twisted ends and voila an effective and inexpensive fire starter. Pack a few in and try it on your next trip.
    I was skeptical when I heard about them, but I used them to start our backyard fire pit and they really work!

    Also, inexpensive liquid fuel cigarette lighters, available at any gas station or store in the country/woods, will start your fire better than old, maybe damp, maybe the striker surface doesn’t light the match, you get the idea. We carry these instead of matches for winter hiking and ski trips, for emergency fires. Have three in different pockets.

    Martin, just add a rubber blade to a roof snow shovel and you would not need the ladders to clean your solar panels. just a thought from experience.

    Congrats on the new ride. I'm curious as to why you can't drive right to the cabin. I'm guessing you've already explained that, and I just missed it.

    • @TheNorthwoodsman1
      @TheNorthwoodsman1  10 місяців тому

      It crosses fragile habitat and some bogs that just can't be driven. There will never be a road to the cabin.

    Who makes those pants you were wearing in this video? They looked like they might be from carhart by the rivets, but since that brand has become so fashionable now it has gotten harder to find the good sturdy work ones anymore made by them, I'm always looking for something that will last and not wear out quickly.

      These are Duluth Trading that I got from a friends family after he passed away. I need to put an iron on patch on the right knew as it wore through. Not sure how long he had been wearing them but I would say they too wore through too quickly.

      I really do not think there is any risk in the wintertime. Bears are sleeping and maybe very very rarely you could come across a bad one.

      They say most of ours are males wandering from South Dakota. Some end up in IL for the same reason. Only males wander like this so they never really expand their range to the cabin.
