I can only pray I can get around like you Martin in the coming years. Had Juvenile RA and have fought with it throughout my sixty plus years. You'd run circles around me but I'd do my best to keep up with you just to visit that wonderful cabin of yours. Thanks for another GREAT video Martin!!!!!!!!!!!
Lee here from NC USA love you chanel esp you and your Canada Jay's and trail cam. Your cabin is a slice of heaven. So happy to watch your videos THANKS FOR POSTING THEM. STAY SAFE GOD BLESS
Looks like you are all settled in on this trip! Couple of guests and the car is unloaded! Looking forward to seeing the guest cabin getting started next year. That will be so exciting! Have a great week Martin! 🐦⬛😄
messed you Martin, live in northern wisc , south of Alvin, no running water or elect. been there since I was 6. make lots of fire wood, goal was to log off nicolet nat, forest when I retired, not done yet. do enjoy your videos, keep the cabin just as it is. God bless all your crew. Randy
This is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. My cousin's son is at a friends cabin about 350 miles north of us in the boreal forest. I just hope that he is having as much fun as you are.
It’s great. I’m having breakfast at the cabin with Martin on a Monday morning. Starting my Monday out just right. But it’s just a one pot Monday I do have to go to work today.
Good morning from Tug Hill NY. Where it's been raining for 3-4 days. Good to see you enjoying decent weather. Ever switch up breakfast & have sausage hash & eggs? Except there might not be leftovers for the Jay's. Cheers!
Martin, you must bath. Likely sink bath. Living off grid and using snow melt in winter I am amazed what i can do with a small amount of water with sponge bath. Might be nice to have you address saying clean. I know I am my place, until the snow hits I am full of grit after working out side. Cheers. I am still planning on picking up my yellow chair. Until then enjoy them. LOLOL...
I have touched on bathing a few time but could elaborate on it more. My style depends on the season. You may need to pry one of those chairs out of my cold dead hands.
Hey Martin, love your video's , Cabin and grass around it look's great love watching the grey jays come to you for food how epic is that. love your chats as for the guest cabin that will be great to watch. smart build with the hauling trailer cool idea for sure.
They are seldom harvested in my area as the seedlings do not compete well with Whitetail Deer. If a sound one fell I would try to retrieve some wood from it.
Yeh, kind of a rest day here too. Trying to rest my back! Max is only having short lead, short walks. Blummin wet too, but tomorrow looks dry. I'll fix the heater in the van I hope! I'm up in Northern Scotland but have a trail camera in Southern Scotland for Pine marten... Can't wait to retrieve it. It's at a feeder a guy put in the woods. He showed me where and said to put my camera there. 👍 I'd love to come back to the USA and stay in your new cabin. I'd let the bears in for a cuddle. 😂
Hello, Martin! I was curious if you have ever read any of Helen Hoovers nature writing books? She and her husband lived in a Cabin in the Gunflint Trail area of northern Minnesota in the 1950's and 1960's. Thank you for making amazing videos as I have been enjoying them for a few years now. I am glad that you are back out there!
Martin..Can you tell me about the hooks you use to hang your water system? I'd like to incorporate something like that on my homestead. Thanks for the great content and God Bless you and Ms. Vonnie.
They were the metal ends of a harness double tree that I removed from the wooden part and then bent one end to make what I needed. The chrome pins were left over after I had cut something else up.
Alright, what did you do with Martin - first there is a mid week drop then a normal Saturday drop , now a Sunday drop ??? Martin is generally good at dripping out his videos keeping us entertained /occupied until his next trip in January.... with this rate we wont have any thing to watch end of October, we will be in a another Northwoodsman drought , 2 droughts in a a year....say it isnt so.... as a side note you want to have a cabin raising party sooner than later, the way things are going -
The rest of the story!! I did the mid week teaser as I was as excited to get going as you were to see some fresh content. That followed with the normal Sat. but Sunday I was doing some clicking on different changes to my content and it overrode the schedule date for next Sat. 200 had viewed before I noted the issue. I panicked too thinking of burning through the clips too fast. Then I remembered that Jim and I are heading up for a second fall trip in a few weeks so a drought can be avoided.
very nice - as you are well aware it is already cooling down up and there and by the time you folks get back you may already have snow - thanks for your work its appreciated @@TheNorthwoodsman1
Things keep changing. Vonnie is going to have a surgery on the thumb this Friday as it is really inflamed and does not want to finish healing. Surgery will tell us the future. I had planned on heading back to the cabin with Jim this month but that will have to wait now.
That is so cool a Kingfisher ! I have a couple shallow clay pot bottoms I use for birdbaths sitting on some stumps . The Blue Jays here love them . I was wondering if you have something you could setup when you are there . Might get some birdbath activity going on ... Man I bet those 3 weeks flew by !
Please don't put a skylight in a log cabin, it will move and settle for years. A wise old timer once told me " putting a hole in a roof is like putting a hole in a boat
I was thinking the same thing. It is really easy to find this place on Minnesota plat maps (I know where it is but would never invade his privacy). Even if 1 percent of his subscribers decided to pay him a visit, that would be nearly 500 people. Don't be too trusting of strangers on UA-cam, or else this "off grid cabin" might become anything but peaceful.
i notified martin ahead of time, he told me coffee would be on, i asked if it was ok, believe me when i tell you this was not that easy to find and i second guessed my navigating multiple times. it took a good amount of time and effort to find it on my own. i live 2 hours from his cabin, i wasn't in the woods just for martin. I had been grouse hunting with buddies for 3 days prior to this about 5 miles away and decided to go say hi. i stayed for only about 15 min and was on my way. martin was a great host. also i came gift bearing with a fresh ruffed grouse for his pan. intentions were well.
@@minnesotaliveoutdoors If you asked him ahead of time, then that's OK. I was just surprised that he gave an open invitation to the world to come and see his cabin. Not smart.
Wow 3rd video this week. Thanks Martin for making this Sunday morning so special.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I love seeing the Canada jays. We have a couple of magpies here that come up to eat from our hand. Another cabin video this week is a real treat. 👍
The extra video was a minor error on my part but I now see that I have enough clips for a weekly video until year's end.
Wow, those birds come right to you. Fun to watch them eat out of your hand. 😊 thx for this one
Yes they do
Martin I can't tell you just how great it is to see you up at the cabin again.
Maybe almost as great as it was for me getting back.
Always a joy to see you at the cabin! Thanks
So good to get back.
Didn't expect to see another cabin video before next Saturday. This is Great.
Just a little error on this end and you got the bonus.
Good Times @ Martin's Cabin Including Guests & That King Fisher ! Thanks For This Martin ! ATB T God Bless
Our pleasure!
I can only pray I can get around like you Martin in the coming years. Had Juvenile RA and have fought with it throughout my sixty plus years. You'd run circles around me but I'd do my best to keep up with you just to visit that wonderful cabin of yours. Thanks for another GREAT video Martin!!!!!!!!!!!
I would certainly welcome you if you wanted to come for a cabin stay.
Love when martin drops a video❤
So good to be back from the cabin with clips to edit.
Martin all the great times you've had at the cabin for the many years I can't believe you don't have a sauna.
Just never thought about it. Maybe after the guest cabin.
Lee here from NC USA love you chanel esp you and your Canada Jay's and trail cam. Your cabin is a slice of heaven. So happy to watch your videos THANKS FOR POSTING THEM. STAY SAFE GOD BLESS
Thanks 👍
Martin is making overtime with his videos this week .
And a few mistakes on the keyboard that allowed a video to jump the gun.
What a deal!!! Martin twice in 1 weekend..whooooweee
Martin make a error and you get the bonus.
Hi Martin, I'm across the country from you in Rhode Island. I love your videos! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks, will do!
Well Done Martin, Some real size to that Black Bear ! Hey buddy, Everyone likes a Crispy Tater with their Burger !! Thanks for Sharing!
That bear was in the early season body size too after a long winter.
A new video with my Saturday breakfast and another with my Sunday breakfast. Boy this week is starting off right!!
Now, do not expect this treatment every week. Actually I made a little error and it snuck out.
That beaver dam over the bridge and road!! So awesome to see how the summer unfolded. 🙏👍🇨🇦😎🪶🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧
Yes it was!
Hey a video everyday sounds great!
Glad you think so! BUT we will be back to Sat. mornings until I figure out just how many I can make from all the clips.
the food is always good, and the coffee hot. @ nite the sleep is always sound, love your ambition on the new cabin, txs for sharing...
Our pleasure!

We are plugging along.
Time for a calendar for the cabin. Got some good jobs done. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
You bet
Love the channel and your old cabin. Really cool those birds taking that food off your lap.
Glad you enjoyed it
That bridge at the beaver dam is amazing.
Amazing history history revealed with the low water levels.
HEY THERE MARTIN, GLAD YOU GAVE IN & SHARED SOME OF YOUR COOKIE, W/THE BIRD!!!!! YES SIR, I LIKE YOUR GEAR CART, YOU MADE!!! Do take care. Fl
The birds wear me down every time.

Thanks!
Fantastic 2 videos in one week 😊

Glad you enjoyed it
Heading to my U.P. Camp next week. This video getting me excited. 500 mile drive to look forward to.
Have fun!
I like your Frankenstein lawn mower.
Awesome output from the green beast.
I look forward to seeing the guest cabin via video of course.
I will be sure to document the cabin raising well.
Another video! Thanks Martin! We have been patient and it was worth it.
Thanks for hanging in there.
Great video as always,thanks Martin.

Nice to see you back Martin
Thanks
Always nice to see your videos again been watching for quite a while now. Good to see some wholesome content is still on!
Hey, thanks!
Great video. Love your channel.
Thanks so much!
Loved the video.
This is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. My cousin's son is at a friends cabin about 350 miles north of us in the boreal forest. I just hope that he is having as much fun as you are.
Thank you!
Be hard not to enjoy that scenario.
It’s great. I’m having breakfast at the cabin with Martin on a Monday morning. Starting my Monday out just right. But it’s just a one pot Monday I do have to go to work today.
Hope you enjoy
What a cart! Mr. Goldberg would be proud.
And it has proved to be very reliable and slips into the back of the SUV.
Thanks for the bonus! ✌
Glad It did not overwhelm my welcome.
always a pleasure
Same here.
I like your two bike frames nice setup way to haul your stuff.
Sure beat the one tire on the whellbarrow.
Good morning from Tug Hill NY. Where it's been raining for 3-4 days. Good to see you enjoying decent weather. Ever switch up breakfast & have sausage hash & eggs? Except there might not be leftovers for the Jay's. Cheers!
I do change a few things and even cornbread on rainy days.

Coming
Enjoyed both the videos everything is looking really good around the cabin
Thanks for checking in.
Your cabin is on the ground too , so is mine.
I am off the ground about 6 inches and a while back I jacked it up and put stones for a foundation.
White pine is valuable wood, no knots
They are seldom harvested in my area as the seedlings do not compete well with Whitetail Deer. If a sound one fell I would try to retrieve some wood from it.
Yeh, kind of a rest day here too.
Trying to rest my back! Max is only having short lead, short walks.
Blummin wet too, but tomorrow looks dry. I'll fix the heater in the van I hope!
I'm up in Northern Scotland but have a trail camera in Southern Scotland for Pine marten... Can't wait to retrieve it. It's at a feeder a guy put in the woods. He showed me where and said to put my camera there. 👍
I'd love to come back to the USA and stay in your new cabin. I'd let the bears in for a cuddle. 😂
Come on up!!
Wish I could stop by would like to get out of this southwest Fla hot muggy buggy weather y'all be safe
Cooled down even more now.
Lijep pozdrav🍀🍀
All is forgiven😂
I will sleep better tonight knowing that.
Hello, Martin! I was curious if you have ever read any of Helen Hoovers nature writing books? She and her husband lived in a Cabin in the Gunflint Trail area of northern Minnesota in the 1950's and 1960's. Thank you for making amazing videos as I have been enjoying them for a few years now. I am glad that you are back out there!
No , I was not aware of them.
Martin..Can you tell me about the hooks you use to hang your water system? I'd like to incorporate something like that on my homestead. Thanks for the great content and God Bless you and Ms. Vonnie.

Martin, forgot to ask how is Vinnie doing. Great to have you back. Is Jim coming up to be with you.
Things keep changing. Vonnie is going to have a surgery on the thumb this Friday as it is really inflamed and does not want to finish healing. Surgery will tell us the future. I had planned on heading back to the cabin with Jim this month but that will have to wait now.
That is so cool a Kingfisher ! I have a couple shallow clay pot bottoms I use for birdbaths sitting on some stumps . The Blue Jays here love them . I was wondering if you have something you could setup when you are there . Might get some birdbath activity going on ... Man I bet those 3 weeks flew by !
I should set a bird bath up next time.
@@TheNorthwoodsman1 Next summer ...
😊
Awesome , the cams can surprise you.
Always interesting to check them out.
@@TheNorthwoodsman1 I agree- take care
Ya!!! lets eat!👈😁😁😁👍👍👍
Always a good to eat around the cabin.
Please don't put a skylight in a log cabin, it will move and settle for years. A wise old timer once told me " putting a hole in a roof is like putting a hole in a boat
I can see the point about the settling. So much light comes in with one that I may try it but leave some wiggle room.
Start building the guest cabin before twenty twenty four
We are getting some ground work done and inventory completed of what we need.
so cool, the birds eating out of your hands ... thanks for a nice video.
You are welcome
What’s the deal with the hammerhead near the door?
In case the latches need a little persuasion.
How are the mosquitoes out there?
I did see a few but that was all, it had been very dry.
15:23 - I wouldn't like that. This video was one foot long Subway sandwich long.
Not here, a lot of guests stop in if they know I am around and I encourage that.
I was thinking the same thing. It is really easy to find this place on Minnesota plat maps (I know where it is but would never invade his privacy). Even if 1 percent of his subscribers decided to pay him a visit, that would be nearly 500 people.

How do you cut the front off your mower?
A cut off wheel on a hand held grinder.
