A Day at my Cabin:
Hey guys! Had a slower week this week, giving myself some time off from projects, so i figured I'd just take you along for a day at my cabin. I'm self employed, so I kind of come up with my own schedule every day, and it's been fun to find my little cabin routines and chores. Hope you enjoy ♥️
A giant thank you to my beautiful friend Allyson Smith for letting me use her song Mount Hermon in the beginning of this video. To listen to more of her music click the links below:

How do you make money? I sell clothes on Depop (link above), and get ad revenue from UA-cam! I also have a video on ways I've made money in the past; bit.ly/3d1451P
lol thanks for coming back guys, i can't believe ya'll watch me pile wood and use the outhouse and get wine tipsy.
it baffles me and i love it.
in the throes of new renovations this week, so that'll probably be the next vid 😉
love youuuuuu
Hi Hannah 😊 cabin is very lovely.
we love ya!!!
You're so funny.
I love your videos so much!!!!
My favourite was collecting bark, I literally closed my eyes for a second to pretend I was in the bush!! I also thoroughly enjoyed the early 2000 hip hop vibes!
Okay you have got to be like the coolest, self-sufficient young person on UA-cam. Also your cabin looks as cozy as a cup of hot chocolate.
She's adorable ❤️ she makes you have confidence as well by her brave independence
You’re pretty and I like your UA-cam channel
i know! i can’t stop watching her, im addicted lmao
@@mollyeliza1712 I just wanna get a cabin and some power tools and follow in her footsteps!!
@@MimmbleMimmble that’s the dreammm fr🥺
3 things:
1). “Who needs company when you have wine” is a great quote.
2). To be comfortable to be alone means you are wealthy beyond measure.
3). Whoever raised you: great job.
#2 is Life👏🏾
Yeah! Well said.
I feel a t-shirt coming on!
Great quote for one.
And great idea for Hanna-merch
Maybe she raised herself?
Parents don't get to decide who their child will grow up to be.
That person alone has to go through hardships, and find out on their own who they are, and what they want to be.
I wish I could get number 2 down. I get simultaneously depressed and panicked whenever I spend more than a few nights alone. (Working from home).
Man, she's really the main character
And we're just the side-characters in her story of life 🥺
This is how life is supposed to be.
We are all Earthlingz.
Why are some of us so drawn to your videos? I lived in the woods years ago. I love the smell, sounds, animals, birds, the night sky with moon and glimmer of sparkles under the loom of a forest. Trees surrounding a home, feel like protecting arms, giving a sense of calm serenity. Oh the woods is the most beautiful of all places. At 68 years of age, with some health issues, the convenience of a small city is needed. But alas, I long for that quiet place of splendor. Life is indeed best in the woods. So I watch your videos to relive a part of my own past life. Thank you, Hannah.
When people say "live in the woods" in think tent, sleeping bag, barrel fire and an unkempt looking person. This is glamp style living in the woods! :D
Well spoken, I'm glad to see another generation discovering life in the woods. A full moon on snow covered landscape, my crystal palace enchanted. Lives on in the winds of time, mountains covered in the morning mist . Every moment worth its weight for sure. :)
Yes, Kathleen, nearly to 68 myself and how I have missed my little house in the mountains, with the good fortune to be located on the edge of a national forest. I love the trees. On my little piece of land I had 122 full size incense cedars and Sugar, Ponderosa and Jeffery pine, a dozen silver fir, 6 black oak and four manzanita, and 3 madrone, as well as dozens of seedlings and saplings. And I knew them all, personally. Friends would come and bring their dog (who was not permitted to be off leash to chase things that didn't need chasing) and the woods would go eerily quiet. When the friends and dog left, all the birds, squirrels, owls, bats, frogs, deer, coyote, raccoons, opossums, skunks, lizards, snakes, fox and weasel and even the June bugs would return magically, as if they watched and waited for the car with the dog inside to drive off down the lane. I so loved my sanctuary and wished I could have stayed forever. Now I'm retired and am thinking of returning to the woods. It's been nearly 30 years since I left the mountain but every memory and smell, every breath of the snow-flavored wind off the high slopes, the sound of it through the pines, the sound of walking on acorns and the quiet of fallen pine needles, the sudden glimpse of a deer through the tree trunks, there one moment and gone the next, the smell of wood smoke from the stove, or of incense cedar on a hot summer day, the feel of rain that makes its way through the canopy of cedars and pines--all this is still with me. All is as vivid today as it was the day I left there. I must remind myself to cherish these memories because even if I am so fortunate as to move back to the Sierra montane again, it will not be the same. Which is likely just fine since I am not the same either. But I am with you, Kathleen, in the love of that "quiet place of splendor." So hopefully, dear Hannah, you will allow the Great Mother to imprint the land and trees upon your heart so that you can carry it with you through the years no matter where your journey takes you.
@@Marie.b Your description is accurate of when I built the barn, before putting the house together . It was rough going most of the time, but worth it. I'm sure I still look unkept most of the time. I'm oblivious to the smell of muddy horses, so I'm told :) Surely Hannaleeduggan will have those days as well with her expanding homestead. Electricity in the woods is nice while the weather holds up. I'm happy to see another capable generation making a go of it. Jim M.
@@jamesmihalcik1310lol. it actually sound idyllic. And who doesn't love the smell of muddy horses!!! Hannah makes it look so clean and comfortable and effortless and fancy even! I have no such illusions about myself if I "lived in the woods".
i don't wanna put any pressure on you to constantly record, but honestly... I've never felt such peace, coziness, happiness and many other feelings that don't have names yet with any YT video. but your videos kinda bring something alive inside of me. to the point that if you posted a 10 hour video, i would eat it like a 5 min one and feel happy... thank you for being you, and posting this content. i truly needed it, God bless you ❤
Yeah, that. And she has tons of great video and they're all different and all so enjoyable.
I found her when I was dealing with bad sickness and associated anxiety... I feel the exact same way! These videos bring me peace like I'm the one at a cabin in the woods...
Same here.❤️ I feel relax and calm while enjoying her videos. I feel that serenity and freedom watching her do her things. 😊
Absolutely feel the same way ❣️
They bring me such peace 😊
This 68 year old gets a big kick out of your adventures. Love the cabin and your decor. Good job, girl.
driveway advice: get a load of gravel from a local company! we live in oregon & the driveway was so bad during rainy season that come spring we decided to re-gravel our entire driveway to fill in the holes. a driveway like yours could be anywhere from $50-100 depending on pricing around u & length! just a suggestion :)
Definitely going to be looking into it when I get back in the spring!!
That or a tractor 😂 🚜
Also reclaimed asphalt is great...it's usually really cheap and it becomes solid once packed down and the sun warms. We have a 1/4 mile driveway and it's like off roading to get to the house. we started getting truck loads of the reclaimed asphalt on the "bad" areas....
Don't forget to have some landscape cloth put underneath the stone. It keeps the stone from sinking in and mixing with the dirt, it will last much longer.
@@hannahleeduggan are you not planning on living in the cabin over the winter?
That's comfortable living with a purpose. You never run out of things to do. Which is right up my alley. I cook and heat my bath water all by fire each and everyday😁
Yeah, you have always stuffs to do when living in a cabin! But its really satisfying and cozy ❤️
Real life minecraft: "today's goal is to get out there and collect some Birch. Luckily my house is right next to a birch biome. Maybe get some coal for the furnace tonight if I come across some. SHit...I forgot my pick ax.
Unsolicited well intentioned cooking advice: the reason the curry took so long to cook is because the wok has a very small bottom so it was basically bottle necking the heat through that small space to the rest of the pot. A big pot would have cooked faster in this case.
I’d save the wok for frying🧡
Add gravel to your drive way, that’s what Bec and Eamon did to their new cabin. Look at their recent video it kinda shows you things you can do, since you both live the same kinda surroundings. They are youtubbers
Eamon and Bec
@@evelynbetz8138 yes yes them!!! Gravel for the drive way! Love them!! ❤️❤️❤️
If your driveway is too muddy, you will need to put down road fabric first or the gravel will all sink into the mud. Check out Andrew Camarata's channel to see how a pro does it. ua-cam.com/channels/UujfNBK9uv3cIW-P5PX7vA.html

I do too. ☺️.
When are you putting a toilet in? I could never walk outside every time I needed to use the bathroom id be afraid of big animals lol
The MOST endearing part was knowing you like Kiki's Delivery Service. Wholesome AF.
Just an idea for the harsher days of winter: Put your morning clothes under the covers next to you or at your feet for a little bit of extra warmth. Even better if you have a heated blanket, then it's almost like they're fresh out of the dryer. :)
love this one! thank u for sharing
Buy an electric blanket for the bed.
love my electric blanket and totally trying socks for the morning since it's supposed to snow tonight
All the people in the comments who’ve lived in the woods before commenting advice, so wholesome 😭
The cabin and the outhouse just reminded me of the beginning of Shrek. Only if shrek was this beautiful blonde woman with an aesthetically pleasing cabin lol. I guess you’re writing your own fairytale.
“I’m so happy! Things are good!” I literally CRIED😭🥺 OMG that is a beautiful feeling
binge watching all your videos after one came up in my recommended! these videos are sooo entertaining and interesting 👌💕
Same
the fact that she watches Ghibli movies, when she actually kind of live in a Ghibli kinda mood is, I think, so satisfying to see. I don't know how to explain but the mood, the vibes, everything around the place she lives is magical.
Just an added thought to your woodstove use especially as the weather gets colder. Add some firebrick to bottom of your woodstove a layer or two thick they will hold more heat and give you longer warmth froom your fire. Also you will want to add more wood as it is the coals and red embers that build up in the bottom that give you all that nice warm heat for hours and hours. Just an FYI from someone that has used woodstoves for years on how to get better results and longer heat from your stove. Great videos keep them up!
It sounds like Hannah is taking off for warmer weather soon.
Hannah when I used to haul wood and kindling from the woods I used a sled. You might want to get one and give it a try. For the driveway you might want to get some gravel. I absolutely adore the way you are making the cabin look. It’s lovely.
Oh yeah, even if you had one of those saucer things with a rope handle...
Great advice! Been there done that it works!
i’m not going to lie, discovering your channel and watching the process of you making your own space out in nature has really given me a better idea of what i want and what i want to do in life (coming from someone who had NO clue) . thank you for sharing this with all of us, and until i can start my own journey i’ll be living vicariously through yours ✨❤️
I feel like we are so similar, to drinking coffee all day, only eating once a day, and the music choices!! Thrifting is my jam. shoot wish we could hang out lol
I would do a gravel driveway. Ive got one at my house and it lasts a long time if you do it right. You will need a base of smaller gravel (sometimes called "crusher run") and then do a second layer of larger gravel. This will help it settle in well and last a lot longer before getting worked down into the dirt.
For the driveway I think gravel might be the most cost-effective option.
I'm really impressed with your business sense. Between reselling clothing, affiliate sales, UA-cam, and who knows what else it seems like you're killing it. I hope I'm successful enough in business to be able to live this kinda off-grid lifestyle one day. It's nice to have your income so diversified so even if one thing drops off, you have several others still going.
I cant believe that some people live like this. Doing what makes you happy? In the wood? I'm baffled.
Been living on the top of a mountain in italy for the last two years with my family, and i'm twenty yo. It's so fulfilling. Imagine waking up in the morning, and seeing deers run on the side of the mountain and having complete silence. It's so pure and you're amazed with the bauty

Watching your videos help me be more motivated to live with less. I know that isn't the point of your channel, but the need to buy more is something I've struggled with. Your independent spirit is so inspiring to someone who has never been very independent much less lived alone.
so relaxing 😭 I feel blessed
but when you and hannah upload on the same day - i feel blessed 😭╰(*°▽°*)╯
love how are you doing today hope doing good afternoon please safe out there
Rememeber to clean your chimney! Don't want a chimney fire. So, so important!
And there are heat powered fans you put on top of you stove. Is handy when you're first getting it fired up 😊
I had a buddy that lived in a cabin that was drafty.. So, we tried a bunch of things to keep him warm overnight. The thing we found that worked best was he would buy a big bag of wood pellet balls and he would scoop a coffee can of those under the logs and it would give him nice coal all night! They are inexpensive.. Stay warm girlie!
She inspired me to recycle paper and ever since then I have been looking at small things that I could make from scratch . It's an outworldly feeling when you learn that you have the power of making something with your own two hands.
More power to u ❤️💯
I’m 38 yrs old and I want to be like you when I grow up :) Really admire your independent and self-sufficient spirit. I love how talented and capable you are at renovations and building things (I really should take a carpentry class). And of course you also have a pretty singing voice... why wouldn’t you also be great at that :) Loving your vids!
Get yourself a rice cooker girl. $10 new, set it and forget it. Perfect rice every time. No stress! 😃
Dollar general or family dollar always has them for like $8-$10 !!
Yes! and rinse your rice twice. Make sure the water is about an inch from the top of the grains.
Gonna be honest here - I’m so much of a city person that I just would be scared and didn’t know what to do living in the woods all by myself. But at the same time I crave some peaceful alone nature time atm so I’m living that out through your channel ☺️ loved all cabin videos so far and your character is just so fun and refreshing.
Have a nice time out there! Greetings from Berlin, Germany ☺️
bin auch aus berlin und wüsste auch nicht wo es sowas hier in der nähe eben könnte zu einem okayen preis
That's funny becoz I think that cities are way less safe than woods (considering the density of population around). I think it's a capitalist view that brings us think/wants to have Fear about woods and nature or believe we are in danger, and trying to stay Away from what make us feel good. :-)
Honestly I think woods vs the city is such a preference thing. For instance I have grown up all my life in the woods or near the woods and wouldn't feel at all comfortable or safe in the city with all those people. But a lot of people are scared of the wood and wild animals and feel the city is way safer.
I grew up just outside of NYC and then I moved to the woods and lived there for 2 decades, now I live totally in between in a little town. I gotta say, my favourite by far was living out in the woods. It's so peaceful esp when you don't have neighbors. My partner and I are planning on getting back out into the woods for retirement, not staying in a noisy town!
Trust me, I lived in major cities my entire life, San Francisco, Berkeley, Shanghai, LA... But once I started to go into the wild more, thru-hiking mainly, I got addicted. Now, I live somewhere close to the city because of work. But my goal is to slowly switch to working remotely so I can have my cozy cabin in the middle of nowhere and be alone.
Maybe you should get a composting toilet inside the cabin so you don't have to go outside when it's super cold.
I also suggest gravel for the driveway.
Love your videos!!
Even have an old fashion pee pot would be a good thing at night!
@@skylarkenwood1422 Was going to suggest the same thing!
I would love a “how to journal” kind of tutorial. Do you journal your dreams? Your every kind of thought? How do you make it a habit and keep it?
This seems like the dream life. Away from crappy people, just living peacefully.
Just a suggestion for heat! They have the oil filled heaters for under $80 that would keep your upstairs nice and warm once your stove goes out at night. They have timers, so you can set it for however long you wish to sleep and it will turn off in the morning. They're incredibly energy efficient, I use one to keep my back porch a 4 season porch in the minus 40°C winters here! Its no noise, unlike that space heater you've got theyre completely silent! When my power goes out it even heats 700sqft of my house. I think it would save you some wood and on extra cold days would be nice!
@Lucky Lex has Are you referring to an oil filled heater powered by electricity? If not, will you provide a link? Thnx!
@@jewelofwisdom8279 yes I mean electric! I don't think they can run any other way unless you already have pipes and such. I love them, mines on wheels so I can easily roll it to whichever room I want extra toasty but it mostly stays in the porch all winter keeping it 4 season. I should have mentioned when my power goes out I have a little generator I plug it into lol. Thats how I know its energy efficient!
Ok, I thought that was the type of heater you were referring to and yes, they work great! I guess what through me off was your use of it on your porch and it being electric but I’m assuming you have an enclosed porch, like a sun room. Anyway, that explains it and thanks for your reply.
@@armslength2618 you must have had a older rig. The new ones are quiet, silent infact. There is no noise when mine heats up at all and no clicking noise at all! And it only costs me under a dollar a day to have on 24/7! It also has heated my entire 700sqft living area when my furnace quit. Its not very big either, the size of a pizza box. Old ones are very inefficient though. I also wasn't saying she should quit using the stove because I completely agree with you, they pack the most punch! But alas you cannot keep a stove going all night. That's why I suggested she have one on a timer to run while she sleeps until after waking up when the stove gets going again :). 😊
I can't believe this level of self-sufficient and happiness is possible. 😭❤️❤️
You should get a dog to keep you company in the woods, they are great ❤️ love love love your cabin! Much love and jealousy (lack of cabins) from England! 💜
Agree and security if trained
I was thinking the same. How could you not have a dog in this enviroment??
I think she mentioned, she will be leaving in winter an comeback around spring or summer, and dog living in a van isn't good for them. Maybe stop telling her to get a dog repeatedly when she already had another plans in the future, i'm sure she know what she's doing rn.
Yes. I was also thinking the same. That teddy bear will work in the meantime :)
Space heater is not cheating. We used those and electric blankets all the time when I was a kind. Not having indoor central heat isn't ideal in the winter, but electric space heaters are and easy good way to warm things up quick and then let the wood stove take over as your primary heat source.
Hannah, your playlist is RIGHT up my alley and I'm 72. Everytime you go on a dancing, singing jag, I'm there with you bouncing about and singing every song tone deaf!! LOLOL Of course that's when ALL my curtains are closed and no neighbours can see, although they know I'm nuts anyway. So you say you have sporadic meals? I graze all day. I hardly make meals but I have tons of healthy nibbles around. People think if you don't eat regular meals 3 times a day, you'll starve !! Pfffft not true. You are just too much fun, kiddo. Keep that smile on your face. It looks really good on you! If you ever want to steer Walter this way (after the borders open, of course), you would MORE than welcome. Please take care and hugs from Canada!!
"I've had a little bit of wine" immediately calls the squash a sweet potato. hahaha

AHAHA I knew it.thanks for clarifying .
Hi
Hi
I didn't read through all the comments so I'm sorry if it's been mentioned, but I'm concerned for your safety. Please do not plug that space heater in to a power strip. Space heaters should always be plugged in directly to the wall socket. Never an extension cord or power strip. I don't want you to have a fire🔥. Love your videos, thank you for all the hard work. I know how much time it takes to put together even a short video. The place is looking great!
I was thinking that too.
She is young , hasn’t learned that stuff yet.
I’d love a run-down on your playlist choices. Living for the diversity
She has them in the description box
@@user-lo4fv6sq2v Oh sweet! Thank you
yeah, she has a great taste in music too, and a good voice. She must be the first person ever that no one can find anything wrong with! There is literally nothing she can't do and she does it all fantastically well. So enjoyable to watch, that.
Epic, crazy lady moved to the woods. 😂 Cant wait to have my own cozy place like yours.
A few things that you might want to try? Lay some of the fireplace logs onto your driveway in the same way that you would lay bricks down. A friend of ours is a hunter so he made his own toilet by using a 5 gallon bucket lined with a plastic bag, then add a real toilet seat on top and secure it with 2 short bungee cords. You never know if you're going to get sick or not want to go outside because of weather or an animal. Afterwards you can dump the liner in the outside.
You will get better at "stoking" the coals in the fire so they are still hot t. Next morning, usually before bed bury the coal in ash and the next cold morning the fire will start right away with dry wood 😊👍
True that. When we go camping our campfire still has burning hot red coals and really easy to start that morning fire for coffee.
I think you mean 'banking' instead of 'stoking', but I agree with your suggestion.
@@dave29123 When I was small and lived on a farm with wood heat, we called it "smooring" the fire. Perhaps it is a regional expression--same as banking the fire. Anybody else ever hear it called that? Or know where the word originates?

It just occurred to me that you’re essentially Ursula, the cool artist lady who lives in the woods from Kiki’s Delivery Service
Omg yes! I've been thinking the same thing since she moved in. 😍😍😍
Yes!!
Oh... Your right..
RIGHT! All she needs is the crows to speak to her. lolol
Every youtuber is so scared to get copyrighted and meanwhile you just play everything 😍
You would think that more playtime is better... free advertising.
They’ll get her eventually unfortunately.
That’s what I thought.
She just plays the different music in spurts which is probably not considered copyright by not playing one whole song. Hanna seems to be smart if not very.
I'm no expert but I believe anything more than 10 seconds of a song can usually be dinged for copyright so the short bursts are probably calculated
If you run out of birch bark as a fire starter dryer lint also works well. We stuff some inside old toilet paper roll tubes to start fires with. Also for the driveway, crushed up pine cones are a more cost-effective way to cover a driveway (but certainly more work intensive). Purchasing gravel or wood chips is also an option, but depending on how long your driveway is, it could cost a bit.
For the driveway: when the fire is dead in the mornings clean out the cold cinders and put them on the muddy spots.
@@charismaticcreature7875 that’s actually so smart. And would be a cheaper option to
Smart
Girl I’ve been wanting to buy acres of foresty land with a tiny house and of course UA-cam would bring me straight to you! I’m in love with your place omg I cannot wait to have mine!!
I'm a sixty-year-old mom UA-cam watcher. I have a acre long driveway side Drive access. What you can cheaply do is fine pine needles in your area take them and fill in the drive. Pine needles work great. If you knew anybody who had some free or cheap Stone you could do that too. My friend Michael who is crippled. His parents came from Massachusetts. They laid logs down. And covered the logs. It worked great. That is a lot of work though. Those are all things that hopefully would be free to you and would be within your Forest.
Hello from a 57 year old mom (and brand new grandma!! 👶). I feel like I'm always watching UA-cam videos from ppl my kids' age, but whatever 🤷♀️
I think your suggestions are great.
I'm 57 and love watching! Pine straw is a great, cheap idea. I would go ahead a pave with cement, or use pea gravel though, if you can afford it
You should invest in a composting toilet to keep indoors, while it’s cold outside
Tasty Pops good idea!
I was thinking that I'd need a potty chair at least, for trips in the middle of the night. It's called being old, *sigh*.
Or one of those incinerator toilets. (I once dreamed of living in the Alaskan woods until it snowed 3 inches where I lived and stuck for a week.... my dream quickly died 😂 ) but I’ll never forget learning about those incinerator toilets 🚽
ha ha, I just commented along similar lines. I said how about a camping toilet, but composting is a good idea too. And they are easy enough to make one yourself, esp if you know how to work with wood. I'm sure Hannah could tackle that job very easily. Then she'd have two bathrooms! lol
@@theladyofoakpine1124 aren't the incinerator toilets only for solids though?
Hi, I just randomly came across your videos and I love them. You are living the dream🦋
I see that you have gas for your stove. We bought an indoor gas heater for our garage last winter to keep our plants warm. It was great. When all of Texas was randomly frozen and out of electricity out plants were warm and toasty.
If you got one of these heaters it would help keep your place nice and warm and you won’t have to deep on the wood furnace so much.
Have a great weekend 💚💚💚
Driveway advice! If you have stone in your area and a wheelbarrow (or friends with many wheelbarrows and hammers and stuff), you could gather local stone and embed it in your driveway!
We have a house in the mountains and the cheapest way to fix muddy roads is gravel. Pea Gravel is what we use. It eventually sinks into the ground, but it is easy to put another layer on. Asphalt is expensive.
Pea gravel is easier on your toes when walking on it
Homemade Fire Starter: on a piece of paper plate put a small few of cottonballs that have a dab of vasaline on each. Wrap that in a paper towl and place under all wood and kindlng. Light the firestarter. That shit will burn really good.
except that it's not very earth friendly...pinecones are better
Having my morning coffee watching this, just like having a friend over! Love all your plants! I have about 40 in my flat and I think I'm going to have to start hanging some as I've ran out of floor space, you've given me ideas 😅
Dirt road fix: the first thing you need to do is fill in the low lying spots where the water is pooling. Since you already have that happening right now I don't suggest gravel until its dry. As you drive over it, you will press the gravel into the mud to far and make it inefficient. A quick fix for now would be mixing some sand in it with straw to help keep it more stable and give traction to drive over until its dry. you could hire someone to build up your road so the water will run off, but it depends on the length of your road and what is more cost effective. Also, a little help with the heat. Get your fire a little hotter before you turn in for the night so you have a good bed of coals to last the night. Most of the time you can use them in the morning to get your fire going again. I assume that is what the rocks are there for. We usually have some around our stove to radiate heat. If your stove is hot enough it will heat the rocks. I would also suggest putting a pot of water on top of the stove (or make some soup). That will help keep the humidity up and make the air warmer longer. It's also good for your skin, hair and sinuses.
Loving your wine collection on the counter! I spy some of my favorites!
this was basically a 24 minutes hannah's-fav-music-mashup and I love it
“This cilantro is really old... oh this looks fine” A WHOLE ASS MOOD 😂
Wow it's already frosty and snowy at your place 😍 Love the cozy vibe of this video! Greetings from Bavaria, south Germany 💚
You have such a good vibe.
Love the playlist btw
Cheap hack for window in cold weather, spray windows with water and apply large bubble wrap! Light comes in but not cold
you’re living the dream life that I can’t live but I’m absolutely loving experiencing it vicariously thru you lmao
girl that was stressin me out when you were about to serve up the curry and the back burner was still going lol I'm glad your wine brain remembered to turn it off bc I know my wine brain wouldn't have lmaooo
I was stressing, too! hahah
Oh, so it wasn't just me. Made me slightly nervous too.....
Hannah about your drive way I recommend getting gravel if you can find a place to deliver it. We got some at our house and we get the dark grey like sharp edges gravel that stuff compacts down more than round gravel. I hope that was helpful!! 💞
Hi ,Mike here from the UK we use crush and run which sounds like what Shelby describes if its the same, good look with the drive.
it's called 'Granular A' or 'crusher run' in Canada, might have a similar name in the USA. Its usually the cheapest too! Yay!
I want to add, you can also get rubble, basically broken up bricks, concrete, tiles, anything smashed to 1-4" size pieces. one of my parents neighbours used that as a base for a driveway (and put regular gravel on top to make it look normal). apparently it was even cheaper than Granular A.
that sharp grey stuff cuts into tyres and slashes the feet of wildlife. ive seen the vet bills for my friends dog.
@@kurtcraig3421 damn that sucks the stuff we have doesn’t do that and we have all types of wildlife here
"gotta get the camera" haha love this. I always see youtubers I follow do the walk away leaving me with the thought "I wonder how much time that camera was there" and "if this was my country someone would've run away with that camera already 😂" also...I'm dying the shirt on 17:15 is sooooo cute!.
Tip: if you have let over rice put it on a small pan with little olive oil, then flip it with the help of a plate and you got a rice "cake" (the point is to make it crunchy on the outside semi soft inside)
Your videos has a calming effect on me. I wish i had the same lifestyle. (Cause i cant with a husband and two kids lol) i love your videos! Im obsessed.❤️
Your cabin is so cozy and aesthetic. I feel like walking into the space would be like a warm hug
I was going to say I'm moving in, but the solo wine dancing vibe is immaculate.
I've been watching since your full-time van days, but I'm so loving this cabin content - you're living the dream and I'm here for it 🙌
Im gonna need a new video ASAP, I discovered you today and the videos relax me and give me so much peace. I love your lifestyle, keep up the good work!
If you close down the damper in the stove and chuck in some wood pellets or say 3inch oak sticks it should slow the burn so you have coals in the morning
Morning fire start up gets super old super fast 😂
Good stuff fun to watch
Youre SO authentic Hanna Lee. I wait for your youtube videos. Love what you are doing with your life and how independent u are. U have such a genuinely clear sense of who you are, at such a young age. Good on you. Cheers from Australia.
For the drive I would get limestone delivered. My parents home is in the woods and that’s what they did, bonus is it firms up with water.
We use to grate our drive with our lawnmower by dragging a piece of wire fencing plied with heavy stuff 🤣
Yes! When I live in a really cold house, I'll tuck my dressing gown and socks under the blanket with me so it gets warm overnight. That way, I don't have to start the day in cold clothes! Great idea!
It’s a great trick for camping too! Helps keep the feet warm in a mummy bag or makes a mediocre neck pillow.
I’m about to live alone in a camper,. You are giving me hope that it is going to be lots of singing and dance parties. Love your content ❤️
The editing from 10:18 and onward that displays your thoughtful transition from music to you sining moved me at a depth that both delighted and surprised me.
Your brilliant just the way you are, random and and honest I can so relate to you. Perfectly imperfect 😃
Driveway fix, every 10 yrs or so I add a triaxle load of 3/4" gravel to the driveway. A good driver will disperse the load evenly as its dumped out, eliminating the need for extra equipment and cost. Make sure you have a plan for snow (snow blower or plow). In my area, once it freezes any accumulation will continue to build up until springtime, making it impossible to drive through, even with 4x4. It gets -20f over by me, not sure of the temperatures by you. Rock-On :) Jim M., NE Pennsylvania mountains.
I have never been so proud of, and happy for, someone I do not know! It is amazing following you on your journey!
Wood chips for a driveway would be more eco-friendly, but just would need topped off every year or so, but would have the freedom of using that area for growing, if you happen to want a different area to be used as your driveway. More flexibility.
I've seen a few people mention limestone (which would be the best option for more permanence and would be eco-friendly).
Gravel driveway would last a bit longer, but once it's applied, the soil isn't the best for growing, and would be exactly where a paved-driveway would be placed. More permanent.
Greetings from Finland💙. I just love your content, Im so happy that I found your channel. Thank You for your great videos, they make me to enjoy my own life more, too.
Wow that playslist really brought me back to my teenage years !! Glad to see I'm not the only one re-listening to older stuff once in a while 😊 Keep up the good work, it's inspiring !
I love that you're like me, listening to old music while cleaning and doing stuff around the house... I have a whole Playlist on Spotify and all of the songs in this video is on my list hahaha
Your driveway needs a dump truckload(5-10 cubic yards)of 1-1/2"-3/4" gravel bond for the first layer. Drive on/over it and work it in for a period of several months or seasons and then decide whether to add more of the same or go up in size for further solidification.
I live in Minnesota and did gravel on my driveway. Research gravel ASAP..... spring is too muddy for the trucks to get it.... close to your house, it is cheap but they usually charge more for the delivery than the crushed rock. I did lime, used a plow to level it, wet it down, drove over it a bunch of times, and it is hard like pavement now. DO IT THIS FALL if at all possible because otherwise it will be rutted frozen ice and you will get stuck, spinning your tires, and even have a very slippery walk to the mail box this winter. Find a neighbor with a plow truck and get the gravel level & packed before it needs to be plowed, otherwise you will be plowing gravel along with the snowfall. I guess I have only been plowing my own driveway for 2 winters, so am just getting competent at snowplowing. You can do it!!! I did, for about $100, but my driveway is super short compared to yours. I would tell the gravel company how long your driveway is, and they will let you know how many loads you will need. Do not skimp on this one.... IMHO.... It is very satisfying once you have accomplished it and you will be so happy when you don't get stuck all winter! High quality snow tires and 4 wheel drive if you can..... Good luck!
P.S. The past 2 springs here in MN, when you need gravel the most, is when the river floods in St Paul and the barges that bring in the crushed rock unload it, but the trucks cannot get to the gravel because of the snow melt and Mississippi rising. Get this done NOW, is my strongest recommendation.
So if you like butternut squash, you should make a butternut squash pie for your family's dinner for Xmas. Super easy! My mom made them and I made it perfectly for the first time on Thanksgiving. I've made it before but this time was just like my mommas. Cut the squash in half rub with olive oil or butter. Add cinnamon,sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie seasoning, nutmeg and a sprinkle of salt. Then bake until soft. Then scoop it off of skin then mix it up in a bowl. My mom said she just follows the directions on the Libbys pumpkin pie can mix and we add half sugar and brown sugar and a splash of vanilla. Seriously so good!🤤😋🤗
Drive maintenance tips: Drainage is part of the issue, dig a channel down and away from the low spots to prevent "pooling". The low spots can be filled in with sawdust, bark, gravel or anything you have to help push water away from the area. Also different soil composition can effect the drive. You may need to shovel out the bad soil in certain spots and fill with a different material. Its hard work but worth it in the end if you can dig a rain channel along the side of the drive too. You can also mix some cement mix into the soggy spots, the water will get absorbed by the mix and it will make its own gravel over time. Good luck.
Thank you for sharing your day with us, it’s funny how watching someone else’s busy day can make you more energised for your own. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
