    Another great video! You have the magic formula - self-reliance, self-sufficiency, public personality, a wide variety of skills, top of the line videographer and editor.
    The setup you do for each video segment is amazing. I can only imagine the total time and effort it takes to do a 30 minute video. I suspect you have at least 6-8 hrs of effort invested in each 30 minute segment, if not more. But, you seem to be a natural to just include the video capture as part of your normal work routine and then take the necessary time to do a very professional edit. I only hope that you can keep up the pace for the next several years so we can all continue to enjoy your contributions.
    You are the next generation of Richard Proenneke using the latest technology and techniques to educate, inform and educate. What a legacy you are leaving.
    Thanks for coming into our homes and sharing your life’s journey. Bravo!!!

    I have the same wood stove in my hunting cabin. I did a mod to it to keep smoke from rolling out of the door when you feed it by installing a sheet metal flap on hinges just inside the door. You push wood in and the flap moves then drops back down to block any smoke. Also reversed the damper so it actually works instead of being too closed off.

      the new one makes more sense too as he can make a hot meal and coffee on it as well ... the other one is great for a skating rink shed since you just want the heat generally ... a workshop or other long stay place you want a surface for something to be heated or made on top of such as coffee ...

In Finland, when the log frame is assembled, a strip of insulation wool of a suitable width is placed between the logs, which is enough to seal the gaps between the logs
