I love autumn it’s my favorite time of the year. For me winter is a time of reflection, letting go of the old and dead to make room for the new and start new beginnings. Seeing the beauty in the old dying and bringing forth new is very enlightening ❤
Exactly. New Year's Day is actually one of my favorite holidays even though nothing actually happens on it just because I love the symbolic feeling of the fresh start. Of course, then there's two more months of winter to get through, but still...the feeling. :)
I used to get bored a lot when I was a kid, but that was only because my parents were very restrictive and I wasn't allowed to pursue a lot of my interests. Since becoming an adult and being free to explore, boredom is a long forgotten sensation.
I just found your channel and I really enjoyed your description about how your passion lives in the mind life. I now realise that I should also spend more time on the mind life, thank you for helping me with that realisation. Stay strong during the winter brother
These days I'm just filming every stunning thing I see because I never know when it might fit a mood for a moment in a project. My whole life is B roll.
Well you opened a can of worms in this one. I've had a couple of what I call spiritual experiences and would agree there are many dimensions and we are connected to and part of all of them. The "void" is both the eternal rest and infinite possibilities, so no doubt left a profound impact, and don't we always tend to fear what we don't understand or control? Anyways...you're a complex guy and I appreciate it. No wonder you're so creative. Enjoy your quiet time.
Yeah as I was talking about this I was kinda surprised to notice that the "void" seemed to connect (in my mind anyway) to both the ideas of oblivion and creativity, which would appear to be opposites. I guess it just feels like whatever it is, it's a "source" of some kind, or a barrier between sources, or a center axis that it all orbits around, like the black hole in the center of our galaxy.
Your videos are living visual books. I like it that they are not too long as I am a busy woman who does not watch many long ones, lol. Thank you so much for these true-life real documentaries of your and Bob's life. WA weather is fascinating to me. My neighbors do not always agree, haha.
So glad you're enjoying them. One happy side effect of making all my own music is it prevents me from doing overly long and bloated video essays, because nobody got time for that!
I had a strange thing happen to me, similar to what you were talking about. But it was more in a meditative state. I saw what I can only explain as aura. It was wonderful but I didn't want to slip in to deep or into fear of the unknown because it wasn't like that but so unfamiliar, yet so familiar if that make sense. so I retreated. From my research on spirituality it's called awakening. Starting to wake up to where we really came from. A spiritual being in a human experience. A space where time stops and we can enter and come back as often as we want. It's been 4 months since my experience and I'm not ready to go back there now but it is intriguing to me and interesting how many people have had similar experiences. As time goes on and more things show up like this video I am starting to feel a little less uneasy about it.. I love your explanation of the winter feels... lots of Stews, tea, comfy blankets and fur babies and sinking in to the comforts of it. An invitation to do nothing and a release of having to move too fast. Do you find it's warmer when it snows? Snow vs no snow... snow always warms things up. It's a scientific thing when there's a blanket of snow the earth warms up. My barn is always cozier and warmer when there is a blanket of snow on the ground to cover up the grey... It's pretty... my animals are happier and so am I.
You always did have cool unusual ways of making music. I remember you making something to do with glasses and water, sounded rad. Hope you enjoy the gray void and the snuggles with bob.
I guess what I'm doing now is kinda like a bulb putting in roots underground so I can bloom in the spring? :) Cause I'm actually working more than ever this winter, but it's a quiet, hidden kind of work.
I love the blackness of night with nothing but the stars and the light of the moon to guide me it's a safe place to hide... The creatures that walk the night are far less frightening than the demons that walk the day..
I just found your channel, and love how you consciously navigate your experience. Each of us really do live within our own mind, our own perception, but few take the time to observe are observing that perception as well as well as creating that perception. I found your channel through your story about losing Watson, and finding Watson years later after he had settled into the present moment of another life. I have a cat named Sheba who just turned 6. I found her at a shelter where a family had only wanted a kitten and after 6 months they were done with her. I enjoy her "is~ness". She is slowly overcoming a skitishness. When she is in "bonding mode" we cuddle and when she is not in that loving desire for closeness I watch her regal cat~ness. You spoke about your psychedelic experience of traveling into the metallic black void. I have called that a "numinous darkness". I think dreams come from our experiences in the astral plane. Maybe that is also where books come from. I think "the void" lies beyond the astral plane as a boundary to keep us attached to myriad stories. I believe we can another type of existence when we can experience the void and make peace with it. Then perhaps we go beyond existence in the astral realm of stories and eventually into another realm of existence which we can't imagine because 'stories' and their entrapment are all we know. I wonder if you have contemplated these ideas and what you feel, and think.
I've only encountered that void in that one experience, and being alone in the dark, I was too spooked to spend much time with it. If I had company, I might feel braver plunging my consciousness into a potentially fatal vortex. :) But because it was just that one time, I haven't had much evidence to contemplate as to its nature. In my trips I often experience things that are outside the known categories of function and can only be understood while in that state. So trying to define their nature or purpose when I "get back" is challenging. I'm content with the mystery of it.
You have your own beautiful National Geographic! What animals besides deer have you seen and what is out there you haven't ....? I know you mentioned bears ( does that mean grizzly or black bear) and I think you mountain lions... or bobcats. ... other than Bobbo 😄
Hi Isaac- I just found your channel; intriguing content. Was wondering if you also own the trailer? If I had land, I would put a nice mobile home on it. Tiny homes, shed conversions, storage container dwellings, mobile homes, yurts; etc. I love them all. Additionally, cats are such a blessing; they are precious companions. I hope you stay warm and enjoy the holidays.
Hey Lizzie, welcome to the Outpost! The trailer was left on the property by the previous owners. I did live in it for a little while, but it's really nasty. Full of mice, spiders, wasps, mold, paint peeling off everywhere, and none of the plumbing or electrical works, doors and windows don't close properly...it could possibly be salvaged, but it would take a ton of work that I would rather spend elsewhere. I've just been using it for a storage shed. But yeah, I am most likely going to do another shed conversion next year for the "big house." I tried the tiny house thing and had a disastrous experience, not sure I believe in that concept anymore.
@@OuterEdgeOutpost Yeah, it's great in theory but the reality of it is probably so much harder. Thanks for your response; wishing you the best. It's so hard to homestead; your views are gorgeous, though and inspiring.
I usually end up heading into town about once a week, or every two weeks if I plan better. It's tough because I have such limited storage space, I can't really stock up on anything.
That comment made me smile. I am an INFP. I'm guessing she is correct, or that you are an INFJ, or maybe you are an INFP. We are a different breed who are internal observers of our outer existence.@@OuterEdgeOutpost
That’s so funny. I thought the same thing, “this man has the most infj personality” If you know, you know. We are a bit of a strange and intense crowd, delightful though, many creative types
As someone also on the mind life quest, can I ask - when you create something, be it a world, a character, a game (and congratulations on that by the way) and then you release it to the world to enjoy- does it still belong to you? Or does it become part of our cultural need to story tell and therefore belong to everyone? It blows my mind when writers create entire rich worlds, a story based mythology from out of the mysterious dark hole of their mind where before there was an empty space. Or maybe I’ve just had too much coffee 😌
Personally I really love it when people take stuff I've written and run with it. Fan theories, fan fiction, etc. If someone asks me a direct question, I may or may not offer my perspective on what I wrote, but I kinda prefer to stay out of it and just let people play with the world and people I created.
I was never able to find words for the “end” of looking to not step on my friends the bugs outside. Catching snakes to relocate them. Everything is dormant and i wish winter was year round. Fellow offgrider . Dee PS KISS BOB FOR ME
I would honestly say wasps are the number 1 worst thing about the whole lifestyle. When they're out in full force, it's almost like living on an alien planet, you can't even enjoy the outdoors because they're just buzzing you non-stop. I've been savoring every moment of bug-free existence this winter. Starting to feel the dread rising as it warms up now...
I am dreading This winters end (where did it go) time flies fast offgrid😫 The dam mosquitoes are Jurassic park BIG here & they feast on my blood , the wasps dont bother me anymore , I now wear a waterbottle on my hip like a gun 😂 its just water with Citronella and Cinnamon oil. About 10 drops of each added to water bottle and spray myself and every surface imaginable all dang day. It works wasps you sent to communicate, and you can disrupt all of that just spray spray . Because you live in Rattlesnake Country I want to share a hack that’s chemical free and By god its been working three summers now ! A UA-camr whos a professional Rattlesnake Catcher had this amazing recipe to use everyday during “Rattlesnake Season “ that acts like a “invisible fence” OF Evaporating Ammonia & SULFURIC FUMES snakes just avoid it because its all they can smell/taste in the air. I made four . Place under house, shitshack and water sources. Ingredients: pure ammonia, pure clove oil, and cinnamon oil. Using a unsealed grocery store bag place a old cat bed or blanket , any fabric thick enough to fill a grocery bag. weigh it down inside with Big Heavy Rock so those wild winds dont blow it away. Requires daily re application. Pour 1 gallon of water leave room in jug for a quarter cup ammonia and 15 to 20 drops of cinnamon and clove oil . poured entire gallon into each bag you make, and repeat every morning so its always evaporating. Keep bag unsealed & place strategically around your home and any water sources including grey water or anywhere water collects. I wish You and Bob as Much joy & safely as possible😉
I actually bought a bunch of essential oils last year toward the end of the season, cinnamon, peppermint, and lemongrass, which are all supposed to repel wasps. I like the idea of carrying a bottle everywhere and just spraying wherever I go until they get the damn hint!!
Last winter it got down to -12 F. This year has been weirdly warm so far though...I actually want it to freeze hard or else we're going to have a lot of bugs next year!
"YOU," wouldn't have "died." And there's no need to fear non-existence. The true self is a non-physical spiritual immortal. I am a near death experiencer. I have been outside my body and seen the the other side twice. "Death" is not real.
Not OC you were replying to but I’m familiar with the phenomena you described in your video. If you had gone into that place you would’ve experienced what ppl in the psychedelic community call “ego death.” Basically everything that is Isaac and what you consider “you” would melt away and you’d disintegrate into the void for a while and become one with the cosmos, just a singular point of intelligence floating among millions of others, maybe for a few minutes but it can also last a few hours at higher doses. No body, no identity, no “human” experience, feels like being a pair of eyes floating through the universe and you can observe but not participate bc “you” no longer exist. It sounds somewhat romantic in theory but most people describe psychedelic ego death as a truly horrifying experience (especially the first time), and feel they will die or go insane if they truly let go. It sounds like you got a choice to go in or not during your experience, but a lot of times at higher doses it just sucks you in and you have to deal with it until it spits you out again and you form a body, lol. Not speaking from experience on that one bc I’m terrified of those doses, just read of this type of experience many times in r/pyschonaut. It’s not for me, thanks, I enjoy having a body right now. More experienced ppl say once you stop fighting it and just let it wash over you it can be a somewhat pleasant experience- they are braver than me though.
@@eliza-uo6nk So that experience actually sounds like what I was experiencing BEFORE the void portal. I was ALREADY completely disintegrated and was experiencing reality as pure concept without identifying labels. Like a chair wasn’t “a chair” it was just “the concept of matter supporting weight.” And I myself as Isaac was already long, long gone before I saw that void.
Oh wow, then I don’t know what that void portal is, that’s spooky! sounds like true oblivion - maybe no way back from there, probably best you didn’t go in and listened to your instincts :)
I had him for a couple years when I came out here but there was a long gap where he was living with my mom because I didn't have a good place for him here. Then I built that fenced enclosure you see by the trailer in this video and he lived in the trailer/enclosure for a while until I finally finished building out my shed, then he finally moved in with me.
I have a Subaru with chunky tires so I can still drive in most conditions. At some point the snow will get so deep that I just kinda crash into it and at that point I'm stuck until someone on the hill plows the roads. A lot of the people out here have bulldozers and such so it eventually gets done. But I do get stuck for a while sometimes. I try to keep my freezer stocked. :)
We have a compromise. He goes outside during the day and I lock him in at night. The only likely danger for him out here would be coyotes, but they've never come onto my property before and Bob stays close to home. There's some risk, but I feel it's worth it for him to live a rich and full life rather than being a prisoner in my cramped little shed forever.
@@OuterEdgeOutpost Your videos are a very special for me. All resonates with me, like a beautiful song. I feel the same in many things you mentioned. I am cat lover too, one of my cat has the same life like Bob, during a day she can go out, and when she go home, she steps in front of my door and there is a sensor and it makes a sound an I am going open the door :-). At night she is at home, and she wants to be at home with me ....
4:00 In the next life? It's current life will be over, dead and gone, FOREVER. It's "next life" is buried in the sand in the form of an egg, it's offspring will emerge, weather permitting. That is the next life for all of us, with amazingly different methods of next life replication. Don't worry if you don't partake in the next life, you contributed to the collective in this life.
There is a dumpster down by the main road that gets picked up by a trash service every two weeks, so I take my cans down there. It's just like putting your cans on the curb for trash day in the city, except my "driveway" is 8 miles of dirt road. :)
Did too. :) Unless there's an invisible one from you in here somewhere. But the wording is specific, I don't REPLY to all comments but I do ANSWER all comments, meaning if someone asks a question, I will answer it. Some comments are just nice to read but don't really need a response.

Thanks brother! Maybe it's time to rev up your channel with your new mind plunges. Push some more boulders!

Yeah, I used to have a board with a full octave of tuned wine glasses on it! Poor man's glass armonica. Wait are you Annie Gibbons??
@@OuterEdgeOutpost that's me :) it's been grand seeing what you are up to these days.
Feels like how humans evolved to live. Like that quote, nothing in nature blooms all year long, you don’t have to try to either. ❤
I guess what I'm doing now is kinda like a bulb putting in roots underground so I can bloom in the spring? :) Cause I'm actually working more than ever this winter, but it's a quiet, hidden kind of work.
Winter is a wonderful reminder of how fragile life is. But I've learned over the years, that it is just as alive. Glorious Sleep.
It's like the whole world goes to sleep and dreams for a while and then wakes up refreshed in spring.
@OuterEdgeOutpost Life sustaining itself on the dreams and promise of spring.
I love your velvety voice and creative ways to play instruments.

Greatful to know that there are still folks like me out there. Go for it.
I see you have the Panasonic Flash Express! It's an awesome toaster oven! 😊 Your story about Watson brought me to this video!
It does it all! Toast, waffles, more toast, etc! What the fuck is an air fryer, raahhhhh!

I was ALREADY completely disintegrated and was experiencing reality as pure concept without identifying labels. Like a chair wasn’t “a chair” it was just “the concept of matter supporting weight.” And I myself as Isaac was already long, long gone before I saw that void.
Oh wow, then I don’t know what that void portal is, that’s spooky! sounds like true oblivion - maybe no way back from there, probably best you didn’t go in and listened to your instincts :)
I'm envious!
Is Bob lonely!? Will you get Another
cat,?
Bob's doing great. I'm hardly ever gone for more than a couple hours so he never gets a chance to get lonely.
Thank you for answering so quickly!
You are a brave one, to be admired for doing your dream.
Any bears up there?
@@DeniseGonatos-Smith-wk7dr A few! I almost walked into one on my way to the outdoor shit bucket before I built the outhouse. 😂
Was Bob with you before you went into the wild? Or did he join up with you later?
I had him for a couple years when I came out here but there was a long gap where he was living with my mom because I didn't have a good place for him here. Then I built that fenced enclosure you see by the trailer in this video and he lived in the trailer/enclosure for a while until I finally finished building out my shed, then he finally moved in with me.
When the world freezes over, are you able to drive for supplies/necessities or are you completely isolated for three or so months?
I have a Subaru with chunky tires so I can still drive in most conditions. At some point the snow will get so deep that I just kinda crash into it and at that point I'm stuck until someone on the hill plows the roads. A lot of the people out here have bulldozers and such so it eventually gets done. But I do get stuck for a while sometimes. I try to keep my freezer stocked. :)

Smart thinking
Who is filming you as you walk
I've got my phone on a little selfie stick and I just hold it against my hip. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do you let Bob outside?
We have a compromise. He goes outside during the day and I lock him in at night. The only likely danger for him out here would be coyotes, but they've never come onto my property before and Bob stays close to home. There's some risk, but I feel it's worth it for him to live a rich and full life rather than being a prisoner in my cramped little shed forever.
@@OuterEdgeOutpost Your videos are a very special for me. All resonates with me, like a beautiful song. I feel the same in many things you mentioned. I am cat lover too, one of my cat has the same life like Bob, during a day she can go out, and when she go home, she steps in front of my door and there is a sensor and it makes a sound an I am going open the door :-). At night she is at home, and she wants to be at home with me ....
4:00 In the next life? It's current life will be over, dead and gone, FOREVER. It's "next life" is buried in the sand in the form of an egg, it's offspring will emerge, weather permitting. That is the next life for all of us, with amazingly different methods of next life replication. Don't worry if you don't partake in the next life, you contributed to the collective in this life.
I wonder where do you take your trash?
There is a dumpster down by the main road that gets picked up by a trash service every two weeks, so I take my cans down there. It's just like putting your cans on the curb for trash day in the city, except my "driveway" is 8 miles of dirt road. :)
@OuterEdgeOutpost wow! 8 miles! Thanks for the response. I'm watching your videos from Philippines 😅
No you don't answer/reply to all comments🤭....you didn't reply to mine!🤔
Did too. :) Unless there's an invisible one from you in here somewhere. But the wording is specific, I don't REPLY to all comments but I do ANSWER all comments, meaning if someone asks a question, I will answer it. Some comments are just nice to read but don't really need a response.
