It's not video that's 100% related to hiking, but it is related to the outdoors, the environment and who I am. I hope you enjoy a glimpse into my home life.
Hi Martin, you live in the best place I can possibly imagine. Canada, New Zealand and probably some areas of Scandinavia are the very last places where you can enjoy an healthy life in the countryside and the luxury of civilization and security. Unfortunately a rare combination nowadays.
Nice spread ! We had a rural property in Maple Ridge for about 15 year but have sold it and bought another one in NS were I’ll retire small house on acreage with a creek and 5 min walk to 3 lakes , 4 streams stuffed with brook trout and no one in site. I’ve been clearing up some of the old birch trees to reduce the canopy on the back section to give all the pine saplings a chance We’re the same way can spend so many satisfying days working on the yard.
Beautiful acreage! I agree totally on having an acreage outside town totally relaxes you out. Just bought one myself and my wife and I are moving out of Calgary to enjoy some of the peace and quiet.
@@Martyupnorth I planted a redwood and sequoia in my yard in Mpls and had a very cold winter. The redwood died, but sequoia did just fine. Same tree species as redwood, but they live in high sierra mtns in cold and lots of snow. Worth a try!
I heard if you want water to stay in your pond sprinkle bentonite clay around where you want the pond... Just thought I'd share. Seems like lots of videos on it...
When ever I tried to let pieces of lawn go back to nature, all I got was burrs and thistles. I do mow around a new tree if I can, Also leave many of the wild flowers alone to seed out.

Can totally attest! Having a few beers and/or a fire in Marty's backyard is indeed a chill session
My acreage doesn't compare to some of the chill places you, JT, Evan, and I have had beers. Here's to many more miles on the trail my friend.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing
I'm surprised at all the positives comments. I uploaded this mostly for myself, and didn't expect people to actually enjoy it. Cheers.

I spent a few years working in NS. Beautiful, but I'm a mountain guy.
Beautiful property Marty, thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous property.
Very nice ! A lot of work, but your enjoying the benefits of that work. Cheers !
You have a lovely spot there, Marty!
Thank you.
Nice video Marty. I like the idea of not mowing all your grass in straight lines and letting the shoots grow.

We need trees in our life .... oxygen
Nice video! You did a super job with your property. Love your fire pit and wood lean-to.
Great property! Should plant a Sequoia tree or two to see how tall they’ll grow.
I wish I could, but I think our winters are too cold.

Hahah really enjoyed this video. I must be getting old. Looking forward to a bird watching video next 😂!
Nice place...!
Actually, there are straight lines in nature... You just have to look for them.
Thanks for the video...
