Bushcamp - Getting Through the Last of Winter at the Offgrid Homestead, Buying Things For My Cabin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2024
- In this video up at the Offgrid Homestead, we are trying to get through the last bit of winter as well as prepare for the spring. We bought some exciting new additions for my cabin that I have been getting good use out of thus far. We also needed to cut a bit more firewood for camp so we cut and hauled some with the snow machine and my new trapper sled. I also took the opportunity to put runners on my sled before I put it away for winter. We also talk about what's going to be coming for TNI in 2021.
Join my dog and I at our wilderness homestead in the Canadian North. This channel features videos on off-the-grid lifestyle and building, trapline adventures, hunting, fishing, trucks and much more!
I live off the land in a self reliant and self sufficient lifestyle. The land provides me with everything I need. My offgrid cabin is solar powered, heated by a wood stove and most everything I eat comes from the land; fish, eggs from my chickens, and many different wild game species. The lifestyle I live is essentially expense free and blesses me with the opportunity to do whatever I please.
In the winter months we head out on the trapline and ethically harvest fur bearing animals. Through moderate and sustainable methods I snare and trap these animals and work on, and sell the pelts at auction which provides a decent income for me to invest in my off the grid homestead and lifestyle.

Made me laugh, "i have plans but I'm not sure what they are".😀😀
Me too I lolled listening while cleaning the kitchen
We all know that feeling lol
2 strips of wood around the chimney hole will keep you on the 2nd floor!🏠🐕🦺🇨🇦
2 days in a row don’t get any better than that 👍
Eats Kraft Mac and cheese as a staple because it’s cheap, but buys a top of the line chair. Love it! Keep up the good content!
And maple style beans because they're deadly
41:30..."I've got big plans but mainly I'm not sure yet."...🤣😂 I can't get enough of this kid... learning new "deadly" sayings and being entertained the whole time.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'd put a lean-to roof off the workshop to store the quad and sled. Just to keep them out of the sun, rain and snow. Nice going!
Sounds like a good idea
I keep saying that all the time and even on the side of the house also one on the open side of his porch it will save a lot shoveling snow and keep his equipment cleaner and dryer
a few ideas: give an update on how the solar system is working out, how the coleman shower is working out, how your fur sale went, would like to see a video of your ride into town, setting up a few stealth cams around the place, going to a local rodeo, bring a gal into the picture, what's it cost you in gas for a round trip to town?
WOW THEM SOME GREAT IDEAS GREAT COMMENT
Forget the gal and rodeo, other then that few good ideas.
@@shanegiggie fine, forget the rodeo, but...come on... the gal is a great idea! (or any human being for that matter)
@@tonyoostenbrink7808 I think he's like me, just enjoy being alone.
@@RobertMclaren68 Been there done that, more of a headache then anything from my experience.
"They're good from afar, far from good". Wow, I love this guy.
You could always tack a little scrap 1-by to the floor around the edge of the chimney opening just to give the chair wheels something to bump into (just in case).
I'd suggest putting up a small wall around that chimney opening. Good to see another video so soon
Maybe a bent cage made from part of a hog panel or cattle panel. something to push a wheel back into the room. Perhaps a 1/2 circle attached to the wall & a few inches back from the edge on the floor. just in case..
Screw a 1/2 or 1" thick board to the floor near your chimney hole as a bumper so you don't go off the edge and down stairs unexpectedly .lol another great video bud .
Nice to see a Wednesday video and a man who keeps his word 😉
good god ! put up a railing... holding my breath... that’s a deadly drop! 😳
If you took that pot of hot water and poured it in the theromos preheating it then poured it back in the pot , you could then put your coffee in the theromos and it would stay blazen hot for a long time.
Indeed! Preheat the thermos makes a big diff
Absolutely. .was going to mention that also, especially if he's going to take the thermos out on the Trap line or just to his work shack.
GOOD TIP👍😁
preheating it and some socks over the bottle as aditional insulation makes a big difference
Idea for the smaller batteries while the vehicles aren't being used...take them out and add them to the battery bank in the shop or cabin. That way they'll stay warm and charged in the off season.
I love things that just work and care less about form than I do function. We live in a throw away world where everything is practically disposable. It's nice to see old stuff that still works get used.
1:04:04 Cougar just munching on some beaver. Nice.
Fish cooker on a 20pounder for cooking your coffee 👍 Hot chocolate and root beer schnapps will change your world!! Thanks for the videos, what you think of as mundane is imagination fuel for others 🤟
Man this kid did it right. Sadly when they come to round us up they won't leave him alone but he sure as he'll made them work for it. I wish I could go back 25 years and do what he did. Cheers young man keep the dream alive
Kudos to your Dad for caring enough about you to supply you with the chainsaw chaps and the logger's helmet. As a father myself, I understand where he is coming from! Be safe out there my friend!
"that's deadly" and "that's mint"... intergrade into my daily vocabulary 👍🏼
3 things u spend money on young and don't regret old good boots, comfy chair, and a good bed changes ur life
Lol I said the same things...
And a good toilet
you're not wrong
@@CashJohnston ah yes a good shit Is worth it
Yeah, if you get "the squirts" because of a stomach virus it would be tough to have to get out of bed, climb down the ladder and try to get to the privy before you soil yourself. Might want to come up with a contingency plan in the event of a sudden gastric upset! 💩
You should nail a 2 x 4 on the floor around your stove pipe hole, might just save you an unexpected trip
You can have these sit down and chat across the room sessions all you want. It gives us a chance to hear whats on your mind and listen without other distractions. I'm glad you curbed that hole with the two by twos. I like your home, it's like my attic apartment, cozy and friendly. Good video too. Peace.
I like the diamond stones for knife sharpening
LOL “They are good from afar but far from good.” 43:10 on the 12 valve rims.
“Cougar loves beaver meat” haha, that was unintentionally hilarious.
Get that railing up there ASAP bud! Going off the edge wouldn't be pretty!!
He's singing a white snake song ? Oh yes!!! Good taste in music even ☝️❤️🤣
You need a well. First and foremost on any homestead is good water supply. 👍
You're giving me a heart attack sitting in that chair moving around up there! You've got to put up something to keep from taking a header downstsirs. :)
Enjoy all your videos.
Your a young man.. but a good ole boy 👍 Canada could use more young folk like you. Love the sticker on the truck.. my thoughts exactly 😄
I never really looked up to anyone or anything like that but I sure get a ton of inspiration from this dude right here, kinda got the same thing going on you do just a little behind. Keep up the good work and we'll keep supporting you! Living my dream man
You've been bundled up for the winter, and now that things are thawing out we get to see your face again. I had forgotten how DAMN cute you are. Love this episode bro.
LOL 5 sausages isnt enough 🤣 You're someone who could do their weekly grocery shopping at the bulk store. Love it 😆
I had visions of you going down the chimney hole! Deadly. Nice chair.
That single burner is outstanding but you need to build a three-sided wind shield. It will make cooking 10 times faster I promise you it could be cardboard but it should be made out of plywood /lumber so wind or strong wind doesn't move it it will make a huge difference
Usually if you buy the Coleman 2 or 3 burner stove they come with these I know what you're talking about and they do help for sure.
I love my chaps for cutting wood it's better than cutting your leg or foot lol I also wear ear protection. I've always been told growing up it's better than buying expensive hearing aids. Love the content man. Keep up the great work!
Also maybe you can look into an electric water heater that hangs on the wall. Maybe you can get one of those since you use hot water for cooking and other purposes.
@@aarond4821 I don't think his solar system would keep up. Maybe a propane on-demand would work better though.
"FOX" Leather :-) That one gave me a good laugh @12:35
Love this channel - Great work
Cougar is always such a happy pooch. Hes a lucky dog.
Have a good one budd!
Get some loving. You are a catch. Get some loving.
I really appreciate all of your work and the views you share. Thanks You
Nice new chair. They make reasonable priced metal folding windscreens for those butane and propane burners for using them in windy conditions.
Love your Vids keep up the great work !!
have a good day buddy
I'm happy you had a decent trapping season! I'd like to see you build a carport structure with deadstanding trees and a tarp roof.. just something to keep your machines and firewood dry. Bushcraft garage !
I don’t know if anyone suggested, but click a pair of vice grips on the nut on the inside of the sled or whatever you may be working on. The weight of the vice grips will allow you to tighten the fastener or the vice grips will spin and dead head against something (in other applications).
good tip thanks
No problem. You do a good job mechanically speaking, keep it up, you will save lots of $$ doing it yourself. I really enjoy watching your vids and its funny but every time you show the pooch, his tail is going..
I would love to live your life
Greetings from germany
Jam up desk chair. You might want to put a small lip around that opening around the chimney. Don't want to slip and drop a wheel off that edge. Heaven forbid you mess up that new chair and bend the chimney all up. Can't wait for the bushcraft videos.
the reason your flame isnt very big on your stove outside is because the canisters get cold and they are not as effective. thats why when you were cooking your KD in the cabin it was working better. i have learned this the hard way from camping in the winter time. great video as always.
COOL TO SEE YOUR BACK ..... JUST BEING YOU..... HAVING FUN IN BIG COLD COUNTRY.... EH.....
To do list , clean around house , clean house , sand and poly the kitchen counter ,put up removable rail by desk , clean stoves and chimneys, clean skinning shed , stack wood . Just a few i bet ya got on your list , better than adding "honey does too lol ya I got one of those gas stoves 6 or 8 years ago and they are deadly , love mine ! Also on my 4 wheeler I put a gel battery in about 9 years ago, about due for new one but its been great. Also always had trouble starting in cold weather even with the choke but I was looking for info in my manuel and low and behold it said I had a push primer knob! I finally found it and wow starts -30 like it was Hawaii lol might look and see if you got one . Just suggestions , hope ya take them as such , love the videos can't wait for more !
Same here. I need my bush tea in the morning and another cup for with lunch. Real men don’t read directions!!!! Good for us. Thanks for sharing. Still hitting mink and beaver here don’t you know. Stay well. Peace
Gotta get ya some nice branches to make a sweet railing around the opening by the stovepipe bro, maybe some cool white birch branches!!!! Oh I also messaged you on messenger bro!!!! Love the videos keep em coming!!!!
Happy to see you are back to bushcraft videos. Don't worry about the contents it will come. I find it's interesting to see how you live out in the bush and it seems you always come up with something. I enjoy to see what you are up to in your daily life and projects you are doing. Thanks for the videos.
Being a 54 year old trapper with a bad back really, really sucks! That chair is worth every penny and more my friend. And yes put a rail around that stove pipe opening - your freaking me out on that rolling chair LOL!!! Take care.
You seriously are just authentic ✌️👍😊
Take care of your back! If you're hurting at 19, wait until you're 60. And maybe add a short rail around the floor access so you don't roll out of your loft. You might build a pole barn to house the vehicles.
Falling objects is 32 feet per second per second. I don't know how that converts Canadian.
Look into a metal french press instead of glass, pretty hard to bust one of those
I love to here you talk! Im from Alabama and of course have a southern accent,but I absolutely love yous ❤
Black lab. Best dog in the world. Thanks for sharing all the adventures.
Buddy you always give me a chuckle lol Deadly!
Just found your channel and I absolutely love it . I have trapped for 25 years and I used to put up fur for NAFA. I am very impressed with your skills. You do a first rate job on your fur handling and you should be very proud. Keep the videos coming.
Wholly mule deer antlers Batman! Gets me every time I see it!
You're amazing i just love what you're doing please put the bookshelf at the end and the desk in the middle with your new chair so you don't fall down stairs!!🙏❤
For sharping your knifes, try "speedy sharp" you can get them at c-tire..i got one and man it works good, and it quick and small enough carry in your pocket in the bush.
I love the fact your dad sent you safety gear 👍 I've wondered about who taught you all the stuff you do. You remind me of my dad. ❤️
You ever girdle trees? Just cut a ring thru the bark around the base of the tree and let it stand for a year. It will die and dry standing. Just cut it down when you need it. Its a great system for creating a clearing for a future winter cabin.
The butane burner is a good idea.
Move the chair scaring me lol...big drop there on to the hot stove 🤣
Please add a tack strip or small, removable pony wall next to that stove pipe! You fall asleep in that comfy chair and there could be trouble. Maybe rearrange the furniture, put the bookcase there, sideways like a wall. Stay safe. Love your channel. ❤️
Nice Video. When really cold butane will burn slow as it all but freezes. Bringing the single burner indoors to a warmer setting will make it have hotter/taller flames at same setting. Keep bringing the good content. I enjoy you’re channel.
LOVE the day to day. You are doing great! Can't wait till next one! On a side note, tell your Dad kudos for getting you the equipment for chopping wood. As a Mom & Nana, kinda freaked out every time you did chopping prior to that without safety equipment. 😳
I would love to see this place! An man you crack me up!
Great canister stove there! Used them for years as house backup. =)
Gotta say...So glad to see ya!! Too long, never! Not enough, always! Excellent, YOU BET!! LOVE YOU MAN! Perfect Human!! Glad to have found/ met ya!!
Costco has those butane stoves on for 16.99 now just a heads up ..
👋😎👍
Loved the content of the video. Please put a railing upstairs
Safety tip for propane or butane:- both are heavy, flammable gases so they fall to the ground and sit which is why they are so dangerous to use indoors...the occurrence of explosion from any spark source is very likely. Open your door and window a crack to exhaust the gas and do not light your fireplace until room is aired out. Safety first. :)
Better than tv for sure. Like real life day to day. Lived in the north and Nunavut for a fair amount of time, like going back.
Wendsdays are working out fine for me friend . Stay safe
Thank you buddy. Nice surprise 🤙🏿
Really admire your right dandy orange and black super hero suit with super safe super chainsaw powers! 😎👍
Forgot to mention. NICE chair!
Whatever you film is a treat, no worries there, whatever your plans are! :)
Hello Friend! Glad to see you. A few things...you shouldn't question buying things you need on the homestead. My Dad always told me to buy the best your money can buy or you'll be throwing good money after bad and have to repurchase. Good choice on your chair!! Have you ever thought about getting an induction burner? They boil water in 90 seconds. A double burner would allow you to cook your dinners in no time. They're thin and can stow away easily. A little pricey but worth it. You wouldn't have to buy butane. They'd plug in and use the solar power. I was so happy to see you wearing safety gear!!! Great long video today. Keep them coming!!
Gotta tell ya. Having a new vid makes my day!!! Thank you sincerely
Great video buddy! I watched it while I was sewing up a badger rug!! It is looking beautiful! I'll have a video of it up soon!!
Great video! Need Northern Pike fishing videos when the ice melts off! Stay safe, warm, and healthy!
1 build project i think you should do is build a lean off the cabin or skinning shack to keep generator,4 wheeler and other equipment out of the weather even if it's just a roof.
You're awesome man! Thanks for the content.
Wow weeeee! She's a beauty that chair!
I have enjoyed your show this past year.
Great video. It's a relief to see you not working so hard as you have all Winter. Love the chair and your dog's a darling.
I been hard on the KD lately 😂 Love ya my friend.
Go online to Amazon and get a hose to adapt to a large 20 lb bottle or get a hose so you can refill the little ones from a 20 lb bottle. Lots of videos on you tube on how to do it. Do not worry about using the little stove in the house you will be OK. Trust me, I use a large propane stove in my house and a Mr Buddy heater in my small deer stand and never a problem. Enjoyed this video. Have a super wonderful week, kinda wet down here in Central Texas.
Don't worry about content. You do you and we watch.
i have the exact butane burner for my cabin i use it every mourning and it stays inside my cabin I love it.
😂the good old casting couch! 😂 hey that burner you bought I have 3 of them they are handy as shit!
Build you a pole barn for your equipment. Would be simple and cheap and keep your tools our of the weather.
Thanks for taking us along for another great trapping season. I look forward to the summertime videos. Give the pooch a good scratch behind the ears from me.
