The affection you give Willow and Junebug when they interrupted your stacking was really nice to see. Dogs always know that every time is the best time for pats.
hello russell great to see you again i really enjoyed this video and i always enjoy your videos and wow the snow is back and just like that it is gone again well at least for now and liked seeing you getting the wood ready for the fireplace all stacked just out your back /front door not sure which i have right and always great seeing you adding more finish on your cabin with the siding wood that your putting on it and i really enjoyed the idea of adding some fake ducks to your pond to atrack the real ducks great idea it will work i'm sure of it and seeing how you have drinking water inside your cabin you always have very amazing ideas that really work for you and city girl always nice to see junebug and willow and as i've always said great scenery around your property so thankyou very much russell for this video and until next video i say bye for now my canadain friend from your canadain friend Randy from ontario.canada take care and please always stay safe out there in those wild wood/forest p.s my apologize on being late on watching and commenting on this video.
That was classic Russell taking your pet ducks out all in a row in the Pelican. Started the day with a good laugh, thank you! But I need to say you were wrong, that was clearly a Willow stick! Awesome woodpile for the winter. I enjoy your photography/videos of the seasons changing.
I love when the trees get like that reminds me of deer hunting back in the day walk-in in the dark be sitting in my tree stand watching the sun come up and seeing everything just covered.
Love the drone shot at the beginning Russell. Can't wait to see the contrast of the snow against the beautiful brown exterior of the cabin when the cladding is done! Be safe and enjoy your time with Alicia!! Give the dogs a pet from me!
Loving video, I also love the music u had from the violin and piano. This music remind me of my childhood....................My father was a violins player was so happy.......
“This will make more sense if you’ve had a few drinks.” That is 2020 to a T. Best line of the year sir. My new mission statement. New subscriber, Thank you sharing your videos and experiences.
Just watched the video Saturday morning. Now I understand why I didn't get the notification for the live stream last night. LOL. Siding looks good. Glad you have that scaffolding. MUCH safer and less wear and tear on your knees from the up and down on ladders. As long as you remember your impact driver.... Look forward to tonight. Get an extra hour to rest before work tomorrow.
Morning Russell, looks absolutely beautiful on your property. Always enjoy your content and adventures. Have an awesome Halloween weekend with City Girl. Thanks and will be watching Saturday eve!👀😍🎃
Russel vs the ducks 😂😂😂 That was really cute, watching them swim along behind your kayak. Hilarious 😂😂😂😂 Bob and Jasmine 😝. Come here little duck. Son of a... Are you watching this? This will make more sense if you had a few drinks. 😂😂😂😂 Comedy gold. Hahahahahah...
Great video Russell! I would suggest that you pull that typar up and over lap your flashing so that water doesn’t get behind the siding and rot it! Just my 2cents! Look forward to the live stream tomorrow!
Another great video, thanks! I love the blue- green colour of the thumbnail, and the snow-dusted landscape drone shots are sublime. Nice transition to the cozy crackling fire inside right after. Made me think of the Friendly Giant when he invites you in to curl up by the fire. It’s very peaceful and enjoyable watching your videos. I find I learn something each time, which makes my dream of having my own cabin one day seem that much more possible. June bug looked so happy to be with you stacking wood- her tail was wagging so fast! It was interesting to see how you get/make your drinking water. A question that came to mind while you were showing us was- what happens if it doesn’t rain? And in the winter, do you use/melt snow? Have a wonderful spooky full blue moon weekend with your sweetie. Stay warm and well!
... and a bigger chair, for two to curl up in. Thanks for all the comments, Paula! When I run out of rain water, I bring it from town. And I melt snow in the winter.
nice vidiouuuuuuuuuu..... The problem I had in a house I was long ago was that I had to carry the wood 40 mts .... then I rented another that was only 10 mts...but the terrain was flat... and that it is much more confortable .... now I live in the city ... the heat in winter is by gasoil and its general in the building I dont have to put it on... and I'm very happy with that....I cant do some jobs now....because of my age...I'm happy but I miss the fire in the wood stove You can use that daily exercise .... if you dont go to a gym
Hey Russell, sometimes the best solution is the simplest! ,,,,,,,,,Although,,, I would put a 12 VDC pump from the blue container to an RV faucet, just to save space on the counter,,
So glad to see you working on your siding! Was just thinking about it while watching you bring in the firewood. Really enjoy your vids. Hello from Arkansas.
Haha I always wondered why people use those tiny little bags and make a million trips. I have a huge firewood box on my deck and fill that up once/week or so. It takes longer but is usually my weekend job. Fill that and the indoor box.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Hah no. It takes some of us a while! For example, I ran over my snow plow last year because it wasn’t attached correctly. I simply forgot over the summer how to attach it! Ffwd to now, I forgot to fix it this summer. So now it’s snowing. Sigh. And I need to plow. So I have a snow plow in my dammed living room to fix!
when we lived in a colder climate we had a huge porch and i filled a trailer cage with wood plus a big box inside. the trailer cage would last about a month and the box inside about a week so once a month i would refill the trailer cage from the woodshed. Now we have a days worth inside and a months worth stacked by the front door and the rest stacked under a tarp by the garage.
Watching it now Russ, just heard you say about live stream tomorrow, and Me and Mrs D reckons your Quakers, lol and I have noticed ive caught the saying "Arhhhh ! " from you . lol , hopefully be with you tomorrow night.
Russei...Russel...ALICIA!!! russel needs help. He has 180 acres and is telling us he doesn’ know where to put a little pile of wood, firewood...please, for gosh sake, help him. Thanks.
What a great idea, Russ - the decoys! Aww... Junebug just adores her Papa. Looked like Willow was a tad jealous and had to move in for her share of attention. Great "Kids." Well, City Girl is there by now so I trust everything is a - okay. Have a great weekend, Friends... Happy Halloween!
Built a homemade version of that filter. looking forward to trying it out next year. Good luck with the hunt. Unfortunately, although I have a tag, I will not be hunting this year since my priority is to finish off the roof and seal up the cabin before the snow really sets in. Looks like next week will be a nice warm one again...PEA SOUP!!!!
I did make that filter system myself. My first year at the cabin I missed most of hunting season because I was getting my solar power system setup. I needed power!
Well Russell,LGD to see you have lol your duck in a row! 😉🤣 Honestly,you need to make regular videos of you taking your ducks out for a paddle. Or do a special feature with them.......it was quite entertaining to watch you paddle with them in tow. Your drone footage and camera work was spot on,my goodness it is beautiful there. I wonder if it is the beavers of the otters putting the sticks out on the platform. One of these days you should fix one of the game cameras to the duck platform and see what happens out there in the dark. I am sad there is no Booxefest tonight,so I had a Guinness to make me feel better.
I could do regular segments with the ducks. Ducks helping me build the cabin, ducks helping me make dinner, ducks sleeping in bed with me. Hope the guinness was good!

Good job Russell, you had your ducks all in a row !! Smart to build the wood lean-too. You seems in better spirits . Will city girl move out there for good some time soon ? Hope so. Are you stocked up super good for winter ? Think about never going in during the winter months. Stay safe and healthy. God bless
Hi Russell I would put fire wood on both sides of the porch, helps stop the wind a bit and would only have to fetch every 2 weeks in the winter months....Nice video looks like a cold winter you having snow already.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Of course you can trust the things you built, look at those stairs, fantastic Idea to have them lifting up like that. So much more space.
Hello Russell and Alicia, looking forward to the spooktaskular live show tomorrow. Russ you’re going to have to get a camera on your duck float. It would be cool to see the culprit.
Well now that your ducks are all in a row..lol..you know you could buy a couple of duckies..just sayin...I always feel relaxed as I watch your videos..I wonder if it was hard to adjust from the "normalish" lifestyle... Now that my kids are young adults..and my other half passed... I'm trying to learn to relax...so thanks for sharing...peace
I see an opportunity for a water purifying company as a sponsor in your future. Our hunting season is almost over and I haven't seen a single deer. If I don't get anything this year it will be the first time I have been skunked in over 20 years. Good luck.
You can get DC water heaters that run of your solar panels all day, just need separate panels or they will run all night on you batteries. Submersible pump and boom you have water in the winter.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin thats why I said you need dedicated panels, also, you have plenty of panels but I don't know your storage system. Those panels should be enough. I have 2 thousand watts of solar and 800 amp hour battery bank. Everything is 12 volt, I run a 10 cubic foot fridge. I do have 120 for my microwave and kuerig.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin I gotta ask, are they 60 cell panels or 72 cause if you running 24 volts 60cell doesn't have enough nominal voltage. If Thats the case don't worry, you can series parallel them into 48 volts and you charge controller wIll step it down.
Hmmm. Plastic ducks canoodeling with a big plastic pelican in a northern lake. If I was a real duck flying over I would definitely stop by just to see what the heck was going on down there. May need a little romantic music over the lake to help set the mood. I guess it must be the beavers who are putting sticks on the raft. Very strange . Sad to see the fall colours almost gone. Have a good weekend.
I think i'll leave this comment right here just in case its needed. Haha, you now need a goose out by the ducks for obvious reasons. ill try and make an appearance for saturdays Hallows eve Booxefest. Catch you on the flip side.
I forgot to add put them on switch so you can turn them on and off when you need them. I don't now you're power supply but heat strips would run off DC power. Take less energy.
A larger porche maybe? Just sayin'. Easy to say, harder to do ^^. But for having watch quite many of your excellent videos, i did see you moving around stuff on the porch for lack of space. Let's say it is possible, I would include a section within a large screen for bugs season. Otherwise, keep you excellent work and happy new year !
I use the same water filtration system With great success. A question though.......when was the last time you scrubbed those filters, not to mention the spigot?
So don't laugh, because I know nothing about solar panels, but could you spray Rain-X on the panels? I use it on my car windshield. Snow and ice slide off under their own weight.
Hi Russell. During your piece to camera at the start ... in the background there are some downed trees across the pond. Once the pond freezes will you be able to drag them over to cut up for next year ... or are they stuffed / rotten?
Your drone game is strong Russell! Awesome footage. By the way, we love your woodstove with that huge window. What brand is it? We are building in the Spring and shopping around. Thanks!
Did you know my wife has her own channel? She makes beautiful videos of her experiences around the cabin. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/users/RaspberryRockASMR
Good Morning, hola, Buenos días, sinceramente creo que el paraíso es el logrador de ver la vida tal como es, saludos.
After a rough week at the job, I can always count on Russell to put a smile on my face while speaking canoodeling and ducking around.
Me, too…All his vids are so relaxing and restorative.
The affection you give Willow and Junebug when they interrupted your stacking was really nice to see. Dogs always know that every time is the best time for pats.
Thanks Alex. Dogs are the best and we should treat them that way.
Winters first gentle breath
It was nice, but it's all gone now. So now I'll get another one!
Hello Russel thanks for the awesome video. Love the ducks and the trees with the snow. Have a great Sunday. Cheers....Cheri
Ducks look 😎!
That first snow always looks so magical.
Indeed it does, Susan.

Slot of people are missing out on your antics very very funny bro

Thanks Pat. There are a bazillion sticks in the forest, but she takes mine!
Very Good Cabin For Relaxation
Berkee water filters are wonderful. Yay for clean, safe, delicious water! Your firewood situation is epic!
It's essentially a berkey, just cheaper filters.
I love when the trees get like that reminds me of deer hunting back in the day walk-in in the dark be sitting in my tree stand watching the sun come up and seeing everything just covered.
A light snow is wonderful at the start of deer season, you can see the tracks so clearly.
That’s a lot of firewood you have neatly stacked up. The Wallenstein splitter really paid off this season.
That's the best addition to the cabin this year, David.
Will you be using it again this season?
Love the drone shot at the beginning Russell. Can't wait to see the contrast of the snow against the beautiful brown exterior of the cabin when the cladding is done! Be safe and enjoy your time with Alicia!! Give the dogs a pet from me!
Thanks Haywood!
great show russ. thanks
Thanks Bob!
Russ..........The Duck Whisperer..........best supply of firewood going into a Winter ....yet!! 🔥🐾🐾🐾🐾👍🤠🐾🙌👏
I'm so incredibly proud of myself.
Russell, stunning scenery at the beginning. What a great time of the year. You're on fire bud! (video-wise)
Thanks MMP.
Good drone work, and it looks very very cosy in there Russ, good on ya
Thanks John!
I love the snow around your cabin, I like snow no matter.

Thanks Diane!
As usual awesome videos, and beautiful country. You looked like daddy duck and his ducklings. Wishing you and city girl an awesome weekend.
Thanks Rodney1
Can't wait for live stream! Beautiful 🔥
Hope you enjoyed it, Martha!
I love how Willow grabbed that piece of wood and then took off real fast
Becky she does that all the time. When we go for hikes I find firewood or pieces of 2x4 down the trail.
Lol,
I had a good laugh

Let's say it is possible, I would include a section within a large screen for bugs season. Otherwise, keep you excellent work and happy new year !
Thanks Pellicule. The size of the porch was limited by where the windows are, though I might have found a way around that eventually.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin i was thinking of the deeper size, somehow
the ducks are heading south
Like my sanity
the ice may bust your ducks.better untie them so they can float south for the winter
I'll bring them in before then, George
I use the same water filtration system With great success. A question though.......when was the last time you scrubbed those filters, not to mention the spigot?
I clean them whenever I feel it's taking too long. I didn't realize the spigot was dirty, but I cleaan it every once in a while.
So don't laugh, because I know nothing about solar panels, but could you spray Rain-X on the panels? I use it on my car windshield. Snow and ice slide off under their own weight.
Snow will slide off, it's mostly the frames that stop it.
Hi Russell. During your piece to camera at the start ... in the background there are some downed trees across the pond. Once the pond freezes will you be able to drag them over to cut up for next year ... or are they stuffed / rotten?
Yes Jan I'll get them over the winter.
Your drone game is strong Russell! Awesome footage. By the way, we love your woodstove with that huge window. What brand is it? We are building in the Spring and shopping around. Thanks!
Thanks Frank. The wood stove is pretty old, and the old label on it on the back is a numbered company in Ontario. I doubt they're still around.
Yes there is black rope, you think the ducks will come ?
There were 5 ducks out by the raft Saturday morning, Estella!
Russlle, wonderful video as usual. but I have been wondering, if you can only access via your 4 wheeler..where do you keep your truck?
Thanks Nicholas. I park my car on a property by the road, where I have permission from the people that own it.
