Off Grid Cabin in the Woods...Spring trip ...massive snow
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 бер 2022
- It's springtime....but up at the Off grid cabin there is still three feet of snow. In this video Brooke and I snowmobile into our remote off grid cabin to see how things made it through the winter. We also want to do some snow shoeing, and walk the property one last time before breakup when the snow falls apart.
If you want to see Brooke's version of this trip check it out at her channel "girl in the woods" here's the link.

dude you are like the Bob Ross of outdoor living. hearing you narrate is just so calming.
Best comment ever!!
Feel exactly the same. I’ve watched these a dozen times because I feel such a sense of peace from them; narration is perfect!
I was trying to say this in his first vedeo of this house the background music and his voice so calm I feel so relaxed
Spot on comment
Same!
Probably the best Ryan’s ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
There is something so honest and natural about the way you edit and narrate these videos. Thanks 😊
Thanks, I appreciate that
I just got thru telling Brook how I love you two. At 77 most of my traveling days are done after a couple million miles (literally) traveling picking and singing for folks. I retired to the Appalachians of NC and love it here. Still have a small studio next to my house where I still record, make vids and share my music with folks on youtube, but the wonderlust days are pretty much behind me now. But I love my life and I have a 10 foot projection TV where I still get to enjoy vids like you two make and get to see nature and hear the sounds and it's almost like being there. Nature sounds are the best music God ever made. But thanks to people like you and Brook that share these vids, I get to "travel" still, and not get cold doing it lol! Again, thanks and you two are special!
Thanks, we appreciate that
That wine red Telecaster you have......I had that same guitar from 1998 to 2007
nice voice
I'm getting ready to purchase some land in the appalachians of NC, so beautiful up there.
@@helpmenonames You won't regret it!
What an outstanding couple you two are. Really missed not seeing new videos and happy to see this one. God bless you and your family!
It’s a power couple if I’ve ever seen one
I agree with what James said. Thank you for sharing with all us internet people. It is the one big plus to the internet. Sharing. Thank you guys
That's a God's going to need to bless them
I'm glad to share with you that y'all forward to my God damn name to the deed of my property I filed a claim the lawyer yesterday so happy trails car reality
"I don't think there is a 'wrong' thing to do today..." Thank you for bringing a little of that to us through your videos.
you bet!
this cabin series has been some of my favourite content that i have ever watched on this platform - please keep this up, you both inspire me so much with your wholesome and organic living
Thanks
Dave, your content is quite possibly the best that you can find on UA-cam. The both of you go together like peanut butter and jelly. I can honestly say watching these videos makes you forget all the dumbness in our country. Thank you!
Thanks !
"I don't know what more you could want." Nothin'! You two are living the dream. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, the simpler things of life, such as a place to lay your head is such a blessing, especially when you've built it yourself.
agreed!!
Totally agree. What more could you want? Enjoy!
I Know! A good guitar and a song to go with that :-)
The stream running through that white snow is so beautiful❤❤❤
Everyday I try to instill in my children an appreciation for the little things. Your videos always help me appreciate them even more
Thanks
This is the life right there. I dream of having this one day if the Lord is willing
Wow, look at all that snow! But did you notice how well the cabins looked? Amazing craftsmanship I'd say. Can't wait until spring gets into the groove and everything looks lush! Thanks for sharing! 🥰😎
I love everything about this. You guys have the best vibes!
Thanks
Dave love to see more of you !
Thanks
I love you for giving me the "experience" of building my dreamed of cabin in the woods that I had hoped my 3 sons would be unafraid to do for themselves, their families, a few dogs, and me, their 78 y.o. mother, a few goats, chickens, and a generous veggie and fruit garden... and hundreds of books, National Geographic magazines, a small brook full of croaker fish, and survival books. I am laughed at because i gave them survival books for the past 20 or so years for when the national "shit hit the fan". The only one who embraced my teachings has been my 10 y.o. grandson, John. He has always tried to build tiny houses, asked for compasses and utility knives and tools to build houses he dreams of building and living in, when he grows up...in the woods. He is unafraid of hard work and finding solutions when an attempt at making something that he cannot seem to figure out, because his dad won't get his hands dirty. I will, but I'm only a fixer-upper divorced old grandma. I fell in love with wanting to learn how to build tiny houses, wooden, repurposed train cars, Lowe's lawnmower and toolsheds, cabins and "mudcobb" as well, but people here in Atlanta want to show off, not live in God's and nature's peace and beauty.
Please tell your wife thank you for letting you share such patience and instructions with us, even though I'm 78 and have little time left to buy materials and build my old-age dream home. I watched several videos just now. Thank you both. My favorite hot breakfast: also corned beef hash topped with eggs. God bless.
Wow! Looked real comfy in that cabin!😊
This is UA-cam Prefection!!! Dave you INSPIRED ME.. I bought land I cut down the trees. I split the wood and stacked it!! More to do! I will build a Shower house this summer!! While I could have built my own cabin the price of lumber was insane at 80 bucks a sheet of plywood. So at that time a pre built shed / cabin type of thing was 12,000 delivered. Its a BIG building though 12x40 with a small front porch. Your hard work is amazing. Showing how simple things can be and showing things tips and tricks its amazing. Thank you!!!
Don't forget an outhouse ! lol. Sounds like you're doing good !
I hope you can make your dreams come true.. maybe Dave will lend you his sawmill... lol
@@augustreil There's lots of other options. I was NOT running to the outhouse in a snowstorm in my off grid this winter. 🤷♀️🤣
I took the off grid plunge two years ago and that's when I found Brooke and Dave. I dread to think of where I'd be without them. 🤷♀️🤣❤️🇨🇦
Best wishes on your journey!
@@augustreil i bought a porta potty. and I have a local place that will service is for 35.00. Because I own it i dont have to pay monthly fees. I just call when i need it serviced. I dont want the town complaining about out houses. Here in NH the cost of living is insane. The towns want you to build a nice 400 500k house to pay 12k a year or 1000 a month for the rest of your life in Taxes.. Not this guy...
What a beautiful and peaceful place. Thank you for sharing the vibe with us. God bless.
Our pleasure!
Dave and Brooke, what a wonderful, mellow video. Almost felt like I was having a nice quiet getaway of my own.
Hats off to you and your wife, the enjoyment you guys must get out of life is probably something incredible. Super inspirational journey to document for us watching. Keep up the great work man.
My place has never had snow so I find it very interesting and fancy. Thank you for sharing the video.
انها الجنة يا صديقي
This was exactly what I needed to see after a five day stint in the hospital. You guys made my day. I am hopefully on the mend and while this year is looking like a bust for my spending any time in the great outdoors maybe next year I'll be back to it. I truly enjoyed taking this vicarious trip with you both though, thanks.
Feel better!!
When the lights came on in the evening, that was just heartwarming.
Really great stuff. no overwhelming music, slow pace, beautiful scenery, no pushy commentary. Just perfectly done. Thanks guys, do do us all a great service.
Thanks
You two are lovely people don't stop making the videos. You give a different perspective on life. God bless the pair of you.
Totally enjoyed this video! It was almost like I was watching a movie. I love to see how well you guys get along. In this dark world you guys bring some light.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Greetings from Pakistan,
When you build a home from your hand and then enjoying living that’s give amazing happiness/feelings.Stay bless.Keep working and smiling.
Hey Dave- thanks for praying before you eat. I have a cabin and when I get ready to eat a meal I stop and thank God for His goodness and the food He’s provided. You are an inspiration!
You guys have so inspired me to action….I just lit a fire in my tiny wood stove in my cargo trailer conversion that I designed and built all by myself because of your influence. I installed the chimney two days ago. You guys are amazing!!!💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You go girl! They inspire me as well. I am just now buying some land. Stay safe.
@@naomiverdugo2180 💕🇺🇸Thank you! Will do!! Enjoy your land!!!
I took the plunge two years ago, by myself. It's very liberating, you won't regret it! I love seeing other girls just going for it too. It's like COVID brought out the survivor in us all eh?
Best wishes and cheers from a tiny house in Eastern Canada.
❤️💪
@@giterdone9013 Yes! In essence I believe these troubled times have caused us to want to go back to our frontier roots. It’s in us! It’s who we are! Our forefathers and foremothers were amazing! We can do this! We’re made of good stock Lord helping us.
Woman Of Truth I too am on my own on an off grid adventure. I built a survival cabin three years ago in Ontario and have just completed one full year living here full time. I often wonder about my ancestry and where my wild roots came from. My family question my sanity and i wonder why i feel the need to challenge myself daily. This is not camping, it truly is an endurance test. Three things .... food, water, and a warm shelter. The rest is what makes it a home. Some days the solitude is numbing, self motivation a challenge, and wood cutting exhausting, but what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. Congratulations to all the wild women living their dream.
Beautiful. I’ve said it before,Dave you could read an instruction manual and make it sound like a story. Brooke’s A frame looks so cute in the deep snow.
Thanks
Your extremely lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I live in the UK and to be able to visit or live in a place like yours would be fantastic. I've always wanted to go to america and videos like your makes it even more enticing. Brilliant UA-cam channel
thanks
Mr. Whipple, I appreciate the content you provide. Also your wife is awesome! Thanks you two for your amazing service to the American public. Cheers!
Amazing! Brooke actually took a shovels' walked 3/4 of a mile shovel's snow off her cabin and walked back.. I can't get my wife to pick up a stick in the middle of the driveway. You go girl!
Watching this makes me think of a time in which I went to our cabin for some snowmobiling in March, and the snow was so deep, we had to step down onto the porch!
Our cabin has a much steeper pitch and we ended up building a metal "V" to divert the snow from the chimney. When heavy snow is "glaciering" off the roof, it'll destroy the chimney or push it out away from the wall.
You need a lid over that outhouse hole. It makes a difference on the nose!
And this video, is what all the hard work and effort is all about. YEARS of enjoyment.
KEEP A JOURNAL! Talk about fun reading, going back through your own personal history. Our cabin has entries from fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, ATVs, whatever... with details of weather and experiences, or just something funny someone says. And make sure you write in it. It won't seem like much at first, but over the years, it'll be one of your greatest treasures!
Happy cabining!
Oh! This is such precious advice 💖
Dave, your voice could be used to read the most beautiful stories and poetry. Such a calming, wonderful job narration on these videos
Wow, thank you!
These videos are my happy place. Simplicity is often taken for granted.
Thanks
Love seeing you two doing things together! Enjoy your narration too. Thanks and blessings for sharing your gorgeous scenery, cabins, and good times with this housebound lady! 🙏👏👍👍👵♥️
I just moved back home to Northern Michigan after a few years of Florida living. This spring was a great reminder of how much I forgot about life up here. I fell for fool's spring twice already! (I really should know better, being near marquette)
I really appreciated your videos while I was down south, and I'm looking forward to living more self-sufficiently in the superior state.
Thanks for creating!
One of the reasons other than loving watching you build these amazing little homes, is your voice now I’m old enough to remember watching Walt Disney programs on Sunday evenings, well anyway they had a gentleman that narrated the movies and shows and your voice reminds me of him. It takes me way back Thank you so much for all of it.
Thanks
It is really good to see you and your wife doing things together. What a wonderful time together there in the beauty of nature.
Watched Brook’s great video yesterday. Now tonight enjoying your video. You are both SO talented.
And when you do videos of your trips together, we get a double treat!
You are like BOOKENDS!
Thanks for your videos. 😊❤️🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
Thanks much!!
A lot of snow on the roof Dave , but the cabin did well . I know your happy to be inside and get warm 😃.I just love watching you and Brooke’s adventures. Thx guys 💕🙏💕
Thanks
Dave … Enjoyed immensely the double shot of Brooke and Dave!!! What a wonderful way to spend a quiet Sunday evening!!! Thanks, y’all!!! Dave … you did say something that shook me to the core when you were solo out at Brook’s cabin. May I respectfully make a suggestion? You said it was getting dark and you needed to get back because you didn’t have a flashlight. As part of my EDC paraphernalia, I carry a two AAA battery LED penlight style flashlight just about everywhere except prison, jail or some courts. I simply feel necked without it. I recommend the Streamlight brand if you can find it, but I’m currently using a couple of Tractor Supply knock offs. They are super light, reasonably bright and the batteries last a reasonably long time. I sometimes carry two. In any event, I have a tremendous amount of respect, admiration and affection for both you and Brooke!!!!!! I don’t believe that I have missed a video of yours or Brooke’s. Please keep them coming!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good; be safe and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠👨🌾✝️🙏🐩
Thanks Chuck! I generally never go anywhere without a Rayovac headlamp...but I wanted to go to the river where Brooke's cabin sits and I didnt realize it was that close to dark. I dont have a watch and it was VERY overcast that day.
I know that property well and could make a lot of that trip in near total darkness.....but there is a section of trail I cut in through thick woods that would be hard to keep to the trail if it was too dark.
I see those young hickory leaves 🍁 that held on thru the winter.
My cats loved to chew them.
Glad to see you two back at it together again. Not to say it wasnt fun watching both of you tackling different things last winter.
The only thing that was missing was you and Brooks whipping up an amazing meal. That salami and cheese taco was a let down...LOL Take care!
Absolutely beautiful place to be. I don't know if others do it or I'm the only one but I will often pause the video to take in the beauty and absorb all of God's beautiful creations. I love the big old dead tree and its lovely colouring and textures. Thanks for taking me along for the trip, albeit virtually. I always enjoy the trips. 🥰
Thanks
Always a pleasure to hangout with the whipples.
Cheers to you Dave and Brook.
Wow sure love watching you guys together, the cabin looks awesome
Great to see you two doing good
What a lovely visit - the sun was wonderful to see and you two looked so peaceful and cozy.
It's really nice to see this cabin again. Your start to finish video building it was my first video of yours. Looks like a lovely time
I am just mesmerized by your videos, I can watch them for hours what a wonderful life you have chosen. So admire your principles, your children have been raised with such adventure and wonder. Thank you so much for leading the way and showing what can be done.
So excited to see you both able to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Such a joy to see your experiences. What a dynamic duo you and Brooke are. Wishing you both continued blessings in these beautiful, cozy cabins you create!
Since I found your channel a week ago, I cannot get enough of it. Thanks!
Always happy to see another episode.
Dave, I love your videos! They are so relaxing to watch! I look forward to everyone! Hope you and Brooke are doing great! It looks like you are! Hope you have some more vehicle repair videos coming out soon! Cheers from Oceanside CA!
Wonderful to see the cabins and to see the both of you!!💚🌈 Nice to know that all have survived the winter and I look forward to some epic spring and summer sojourns on your little piece of heaven on earth❤️ Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
I would love living in the wilderness, living off the land and enjoying my peace & quietness away from the city. Beautiful!!!
right on
Home doesn’t get any better than that! So cozy.
Dave & Brooke, thanks for letting us tag along. Both cabins seem to have held up well in the snow. It sure looks like a magical place in the snow.
Wow! That’s a crazy amount of snow! I’m glad to see everything is ok. Thank you both for bringing us along. Bless you both
Just beautiful, couldn't ask for more.
Awesome Dave 👌 caught Brookes video b4 work, she did a great job digging her A frame out. Nice job breaking trail 👣 👏 👍🏻 and sweet deal walking off the roof job 👍🏻 😀
Thanks
It so good to see you two!!! I pray all is well.
Thanks for the cabin vid. Always great to sit back and enjoy you two! Hope to see the Woof and Moose soon.
That late season snow can be frustrating. You just remind yourselves,we are here,we got it made!💪😁
Man I love these types of videos there nothing peace and quiet, awesome job. Keep doing what you love.
We had a cabin up in Northern AZ when I was a kid. I couldn't wait to get up there and I never wanted to leave. The leaving is always hard! Beautiful to see you all and that you are both well! Thank you for this beautiful journey!
I had a place like that too and it set the precedence for my off grid today. I remember thinking, "I could live like this," even way back then.❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I'm from SE Michigan. I've always loved snow and colder weather. My dream would be able to do something like this and be able to be self sustainable.
Your voice and videos have a Pecos Hank feel to them and I'm really enjoying them. Thank you! 🙏
there is something about your voice that makes me relax usually look at your clips if i have trouble sleeping. Thanks so much
This video made me happy! We love both of your channels, and when the two of you collaborate on one video, it’s just perfection!
(Plus Dave’s narrating voice is very soothing).
Thank you both!
Thanks

That smile and laugh !!!
What a beautiful soul
Both of ya
Beautiful
Beaming you all the light I am
Mr Bob Ross, IM watching this one twice. Thank you both for a good vibe
You guys are great. Watched ur build outs and all ur herb videos and have watched you both as a pair and singular on Alone. I can’t thank you enough for inspiring me to do something like this camp (upstate ny, have an acre on horse trails) and hopefully this spring I will be following ur cabin plans! Love ur videos. Stay healthy 💕
Thanks
It was really great seeing you guys back at your cabins again! It was so beautiful and peaceful. Your philosophy about owning land really strikes a chord with us. We are searching for our own little plot of paradise as well and enjoy learning from both of you 😀
Thanks, Good luck
Me and her will never be in it again
That was hilarious when the installer of the door forgot it opened the other way. Classic! cheers!
LOL
You are the best narrator. The sound of your voice is so soothing.
Thank you!
I remember when this channel had 500 subscribers.
Cool, yeah.. i remember when Brooke was way ahead of him too. But i think she Started UA-cam 1st. .
me too....LOL
Beautiful! Be Blessed from Tri-Cities Washington State USA! Cheers Dave!
Thank you! You too!
Brilliant make-shift ladder!
Thanks
These videos are addictive. Very relaxing
It’s awesome you have grateful hearts. The cabin, land, Brooke’s Heidi-Hole by the river. What’s not to love and appreciate! Charming!!
Great to see everything OK !
Thanks
Great video as always. I’ve been watching you and a Brooke for along time. 🎉🎉 makes me happy to see how great your channel is doing. Thank you for sharing all these educational and down to earth videos.
It goes the other way! Love it. Man I thought we had a lot of snow here!
LOL
Never heard the term "rotten snow" learn something new everyday :) thank you for the videos!
a beautiful environment for the winter time & very Idyllic to boot. A place where one can park up & enjoy what Mother Nature gives us to appreciate one's life - gorgeous to wake up to.
thanks
Amazing. You hit the nail right on the head when you said how blessed you guys were to be able to enjoy a nice day out in that country👌. Great video!
Hi I’m Ella. My daddy is building a cabin in the woods thanks to y’all! Say hi to da moose!
Watching this is like being on a holiday that i havent been on in two and something years.
That is a Champagne out-house! And the cabin is gorgeous!! 💖💖
That is an absolutely beautiful area!!! I laughed my butt off when you couldn't get the door open!!! God bless!!!
I've enjoyed you and Brook sharing your adventure with me and so many more. You got me wanting to live like that. It was so peaceful . You didn't have the roar of vehicles, police sirens going off. Just quit. I don't think some people realize what there missing by living in the out back like that.
Life slows to a crawl and it gives you a chance to actually hear your own thoughts.
Thank you guys once again for sharing. Have a great day 😀. Peace 🙏
Thank you for sharing yet again another amazing adventure Dave and Brooke! Thank you for bringing us along, can’t wait to build my own get away some day!
Love these videos during the hustle and bustle of life
That looks like a lazy boy recliner my grandmother had. She gave it to me in her will when she passed, but unfortunately I couldn't keep it due to space. Loved it.
Dave & Brooke it is the Simple things in Life that are the best of all!!!
Dave, for a small amount of time, you took us on a great and peaceful adventure! Thanks for sharing, you 2 rock! Safe travels
