I recently built a wood shed down by the creek at our home property, and never filled it with fire wood because I knew I had wanted to come and do a campout first. I had also wanted to make a little wood-fired hot tub for the occasion, and have been mulling over ideas for a long time. Years ago we bought a bunch of old 500lb propane tanks in order to have a pontoon dock made, and there were a bunch of leftover tank 'ends'. We sold some, gave some away, had 2 combined to make a globe, and have had the last 2 sitting around for years. I had always wondered if I could fit in one, and use it as a hot tub! I knew I needed some way to stand it up, and have a fire underneath, and when we were getting the rails for the ore car hot tub project, I saw an old tire rim and knew it would be the perfect thing. Steve helped to give life to my vision, and voila!
Honestly, the whole tub and experience turned out better than I thought it would, and I kinda can't wait to do it again! 🤭
Camping in the wood shed was fun - I made it feel super cozy with lights and some hanging sheets to keep the cold creek breeze out. In the morning it was likely about 8 degrees Celsius, but I was warm and comfortable!
So much of life is making memories, and the more we do that's out of our 'normal', or out of our comfort zone, the more memories we will make. Ever thought about camping in your own back yard? Get out and make it happen! 😁
As always, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the 'Michyquirky' video 🤭

Well done, thank you for sharing.
Is this what you were going for?

Starting to worry a little about Steve's safety. Just connecting the dots here. A Witches cauldron, an axe and firewood. I hope she doesn't boil the poor guy in it. js 😆
😂
Carrots, onions, potatoes, squash and turnips. Definitely some salt, Steve is too sweet.
😂
Very astute observation. I forget the lines of the three witches in Macbeth; something like, "fire burn and cauldron bubble..."...LOL There is classic drama being acted out here once again. But she is so cute!
Recipes for slow cooker 😁
Reminds me of an old Playboy Magazine cartoon. Picture in your mind's eye, African natives gathered around a huge cooking pot. Inside the pot as a fire heated the water, was a female missionary whose head (with worried expression) was sticking out, still wearing a traditional safari-style pith helmet. This image came to mind, only with Michelle in her hot tub wearing a pith helmet!
If you really want to clean up the Tub and make it a bit safer. Add some river sand (even fine gravel will work) in the bottom of the hot tub. When in there rub the sand around and the tub it will really clean up and it gives you a layer to stand on that isn't steal. I built something like this for my sister the sand is key. Great job on the project.
Some large rocks tucked in around it would make it more stable.
“What’s for dinner tonight dear?”
“Trying to decide to have boiled Michelle or stewed Michelle”
Love the way you jump on the down swing of your splitting ax.
IKR? Great minds.
I used to work for NYC (retired), our in house painters were all Union and highly skilled. Their ladder choice was little giant with all the attachments. What a versatile tool that is. Extensions on legs for ground and stair adjustments. The ladder folded and planks make it a sturdy platform and to many other parts to hold tools and step off a ladder onto a work step while ladder is raised and so on. You might want to consider one, they are great, maybe a sponsorship pitch will get you one. Enjoy and lucky Steve, a girl who not only helps around the house but can build one, lol.
I truly love you making so many comfy spots on your property for you and Steve. Multiple uses with everything you make is the way to go. The trail is looking really good.
In a world where woodchucks ponder and girls dream,
A tale of mischief, laughter, and a hot tub scheme.
The woodchuck scratched its furry head with glee,
For the woodshed's lack of wood, you see.
A girl, adventurous, her heart aflutter,
Decided the woodshed's fate to utterly shutter.
"No logs for me," she declared with pride,
"I'll camp here, with a shelf, by my side."
With determination, she toiled away,
Crafting a shelf for her human array.
But then, a wild idea took its hold,
A wood fire hot tub, daring and bold!
She found an old truck wheel, rusty and round,
And a quarter of a propane tank she found.
With tools and sparks, she set the stage,
For a hot tub adventure, fit for an age.
But the woodchuck, with its wisdom profound,
Recalled a tale that did astound.
Three ducks, in a 118-degree brew,
Sank without a trace, oh, how they flew!
The next day, as the sun took its bow,
The woodchuck returned, its heart aflutter now.
The girl, packing up, had made amends,
The woodshed stocked, to its very ends.
So, the moral of this tale, you see,
Is that woodchucks and girls can both agree,
A woodshed filled with wood, that's good,
As much wood as they both ever could!
This is amazing!!! Thank you! I hope everyone reads it!
Great stuff
Wow, Michelle, that looks really nice. You and Steve did a wonderful job on that hot tub. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
You and Steve never disappoint you guys are always great working together stay safe out there
I spent a good 25 years working in the bush and now am retired in wine country in Naramata BC....I always enjoyed being in the bush and became adept at being comfortable in my natural surroundings be it in a wall tent, sleeping under a canoe or in an open lean-to. I do miss the camping experience and the independence it offered not only physically but spiritually as well. I really enjoy watching your videos.....
Michelle, I just love your attitude, enthusiasm, and the enjoyment you have with the simple things in life. You are an inspiration and I love your videos. Just take care on your own, especially with all those power tools around.
I love that your hot tub drink holder/ end table / nightstand is a hunk of firewood 🙂🤣
I kept looking for Witch Hazel to come out of the woods and start chopping vegetable into that hot tub with you. LOL
Nice job! The tub can also double as a wok to make stir-fry for 200.
Hi Michell, good morning. I told you, your MSA-140 Stihl chainsaw, would become your go to saw. Our friends had a large broken limb. Took my Greenworks battery chainsaw over and in no time, we cut it down, love not having to gas and pull starting saw. I had a total shoulder replacement last year and want to keep it working well. My friends are buying an electric chainsaw they were so impressed. Through this week went by fast, it’s not Sunday morning having my coffee watching you, but Wednesday. Keep up the great videos always enjoy your projects, weather is good her so will finish up decks staining this week.
Stay safe and well.
Hi Michelle!! You amaze me with your spur of the moment ideas.. you so remind me of my wife your heads constantly spin and you can’t sit still… Loved the video and the music.. You made my day a little brighter 😊
One little trick that might save you some power: if you use the hose to siphon the water out of the hot tub instead of pumping it. Looks like fun!
Bless you and Steve, you both have a blessed and wonderful week 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the Bluetti deal. I'm reminded of the boiling frog story when I see you in the tub. I hope the soup is good.
The solitude of solo camping is a canvas for self-reflection. This video paints a vivid picture of the solo overlanding experience, where every mile brings a new chapter of personal exploration.
Man I just want to sandblast that tub so bad and paint it for you. Bluetti's home solution just came out, I'm doing it once it gets sold in Colorado.
No Fear in you! Brave being living life! Bravo!!! Nothing says brave more than 60's elevator Music!
What a truly remarkable and inspiring person you are. Kudos on this one Michelle. Hello to Steve, and thank you!
Bluetti is on the way. Woo hoo!
Wooo hoooo!!! You’ll love it!
I think these videos of you-- and Steve-- camping are some of my favorites. It looks like so much fun and being outdoors is so relaxing.
Watching you chop that wood really strikes one as being a highly efficient (complete) power transfer from your body to the axe. A thing of wonder and beauty. And, it is clear you need a heavier axe because you could clearly push it harder. I just love your mysterious smirk as you were coming up with and completing your plan for a hot tub.
You cracked me up with that smile on your face when you first got into that tub at the 6:20 mark in the video. I love watching you and Steve work together, It warms my heart!
🤩🤩🤩😘😘😘The queen of off grid does it again, where do you get your energy from, yes, the Bluetti, great video yet again gorgeous, take care.
I'm impressed Michy by your wood chopping sweetie , no wonder you're in such good shape 😉👌👍
Thank you Michelle for another wonderful video, you and Steve have a beautiful property. Thanks once again have a wonderful week.
Hi Michelle and Steve! Michelle sometimes the best way to describe something is "cool". That whole setup was cool. I really loved it. Your zest for life and living is so inspirational and motivating. TY both for those blessings! God bless and much love in Christ! ~John
You and Betty are just alike. For your size, you both have a lot of power! That's a nice little place to have a cabin and camp. I enjoyed the video very much and all of the projects and journeys you take us on. Thank you so much for sharing. MEMENTO VIVERE!
I find these vids hilarious: yeah I’ll make a simple wood shed and a “basic wood fired hot tub” for my overnight, I’ll just need someone to weld it together and bring it down with the bobcat. 🤣
You have an incredible mind. Your ideas are truly inspiring. Steve is. Lucky man. Keep the videos and ideas coming.
Loved the wood shed camp out. Lots of work but your stay was very homey and could tell you were tickled pink in that hot tub. Such a fun outing to not think about reality for a minute. Loved the ride on the forest trail on the ATV. Thanks for sharing your creations with us. Cheers!
As I continue to watch your wood shed camp experience I was have a cup of coffee and nearly choked on it when you mentioned your meal for the evening was a squash and bean meal that 'wasn't real a camping type meal'. But hey, it was some leftovers that you had to eat. Everything looks so cozy at the campsite. Don't boil yourself in the hot tub....
So many talents, Hot Tubs-r-Us, Woodsheds-R-US, Tiny Cabins-R-US. When you feet came off the ground splitting wood it reminded me of splitting large hardwood logs and how one needed just a little more energy in the axe. Thank you for sharing.
20:57 at 106 C you're way tougher than I thought 😅. Water boils at 100 🔥🔥🔥
It’s a mistake! I meant F 🤪
@@michygoss7148 the world would be a much simpler place if we could all use the metric system 🤣, coming from an American 🤣
Thanks for letting us spend the day and evening with Michelle. I used to camp a lot and came away from your video with that same relaxed refreshed feeling I used to have once I got home. Amazing that you are able to convey that with how you film and edit. Love your videos
Michy, I built the same type of structure out by my pool in Southern California, and sleep in it all the time, I love listening to the crickets and the pool waterfall makes it even better. I watch your videos and honestly have huge respect for your construction skills. Sell some merch or just shirts I would buy it to support your channel.
Thanks for bringing us along. Glad that the hippie hot tub was enjoyable. It was a relaxing video to watch. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
I'm reminded of when I was a kid and reading about the captives in the cannibals big cooking pot , lol
Who would have thought a tank end would make a good hot tub! Enjoy
... That was Michy Madness "So Cool" .. So original ..
I remember Old Dutch potato chips from my younger years living in Minnesota. Those and Schlitz beer were 2 favorites from where I grew up.
Thanks, Steve and Michelle your videos make me happy!
Reminds me of old comic strip pictures of Africans cooking a missionary/explorer in their cookpot. 😅
106°C? That was funny! 🥵🤣
Regardless of what that structure is used for, camping, firewood, tool shed, it looks amazing! You make cool shit, lady!
Thanks, MG!
Yes a bonus video Loved it ❤Have a wonderful day everyone 📹👍👌😉
Beautiful to see u guys have wonderful time at dis time in life 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼really happy for both of u
I'm late on commenting on this video but i just wanted to say how much i noticed your excitement of this whole episode! I've seen that look before in myself so from one woman to another, i was so happy that YOU were so happy to be out there experiencing a camp out in your wood shed and new 'hot tub'...so cool! Plus i have to say....has ANYONE watched a woman chop wood like this? Omg Michy, you are so full of talent, work ethic, videographer, animal lover.....i could go on and on but let me just say you're my hero. I watch a lot of UA-cam videos and you are simply above and beyond the rest. Thanks for all you do for your audience.
Michelle, you're reminding me of all the wonderful nights I spent out in the woods camping out. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙃🙂
Michygoss goes to Club Trailer Wheel Tub! Great job. Watch the heat, you don't want to accidentally make Michygoss stew...8^) Glad you're having some fun in the woods. The smiles say it all. Great music during the wood splitting and ATV ride ! A great video, I really liked it. Cheers.
I actually loved that video and that song.
Got a notification for this video and thought it was spam message for a split second but suprise suprise 🎉.
Had to laugh at your elevator music whilst chopping logs as I was chopping potatoes at the same time for my potato salad 😂.
Thanks again for your efforts in making this video 💖💪🏽🪓
I forgot to say that ketchup crisps are the best 🤤😋😄
Yes! Just like back home on the navajo reservation.....everyday.
You guys are so clever, and I’m amazed how well you work together. Nice work again Michele. Stay safe lady!
Congratulations Michy Hippie! Can't get over how well your hot tube turned out and such a delightful location near the stream. Bet that was very nice slumber you had.
Absolutely awesome!!!! Wooo woooo! Love that lil hippy tub!
Cool little place by the creek. Thanks for sharing. Peace and love Missy, Tim
Love your Slab Idea , 40 years ago we had Cheap mills in Even South of Portsmouth N.H., LIVE FREE or DIE. RIGHT .. , 100 dollars and I built Cabinets ,Speaker Enclosures on Logs coffee tables .. You look like You have Fun...we used to Go To Plymouth N.H. , Everyone had Mobile homes on a Big Fast moving Creek at the beginning of the White Mountains . Had electricity so It was not Roughing it ...They even had a college there , Great Restaurants .. Elks Club , Huge in all Log cabin PINE ...
Love the little hot tub, you never cease to amaze me with your ingenuity and hard work! Bravo 👏 Steve’s pretty cool too! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Just awesome, you are so creative ☺️ looks like that bobcat comes in handy a lot . Love your channel you’re my favorite notification. Have a great day 😊☕️☕️
"Don't be fooled by her size she has got some power" You could be talking about Betty or that description could easily be used about you! I swear Michelle you are like a busy Beaver with all you neat inventive DIY.
Nice work lady, I look forward to see what you come up with next. So yes, you are an impressive person and lovely to boot.
What a nice imaginative "out door bathroom". 🤨🤔😐😀😂
Good work.
Bon courage and stay safe.👍👍👍👍👍
What about Bears, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Coyotes and Timber Wolf's ? Oh don't forget those Chipmunks getting you at night.🤣🤣🤣 I see at 24 : 08 on the video that you have a large swimming pool on the right !
I wasn’t disturbed by anything in the night, except my bladder! 😂
Yes - we have a large swimming pool that is a lot of work! 🤦🏻♀️
Your hippy hot tub turned out to be the perfect Mitchy size. Thanks for the episode.
You rock Michy! Keep being awesome!!
That's cool. Now I want to build a wood shed. And I done even have a fireplace. lol
One of my favorite episodes. The tub is larger than it appeared when you were building it. I wouldnt have guessed you'd be able to submerge yourself. Great job. I like the hippie way of doing things. Im pretty particular about building quality, but if i get a chance to enjoy a hippie invention, I'll do it.
Michy,
Watching you chop wood now on your site as you prepare your firewood for the night at the new wood shed. I must say that you swing a mean axe. It is impressive to see you do your projects and how you try to use materials at hand and make you own wood products. Good luck with your site and I'm sure that you will always have a list of projects to tackle.
Love your Patrick Bateman style of using an axe! It just needed the Huey Lewis,and the news band music playing in the background, and you screaming “Hey Paul!” , or maybe Steve!!😄
Looks very relaxing. Good job as usual. Soup looked great also.
Seeing you chopping those wood logs...if i was a hungry bear I'd be worried and run in fear of becoming soupe du jour!
as usual amazing video!! and that background bossa-nova music just perfect. your taste in music as well as the way you shout your videos makes for a very calming and pleasant viewing experience. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for another wonderful video. I have to say I enjoy all of your videos and you are so very creative thanks. Love the new hot tub.
Yep this episode is one of my favs. I like how you change things up a bit. Now I already thought Steve was a beast after the boat ferrying episodes but dang he's not afraid of anything! Much respect for him. Keep those changing videos coming!
Oh no. He’s a machine!!!
Mid week Michy! Gotta' love it!! Love the hot tub. 😊😊
Cozy…so peaceful…ahhh!😌
Very nice! I'll bet the doggies were glad to see you! 🥰
Hot tub at every location. Must be getting chilly at night up in the north country. Thanks for sharing, that Steve always willing to help out.
Cutest bowl of soup I've ever seen. Thanks for all your hard work. God Bless from Sweet Home Alabama!
The big sigh said it all. Looked very relaxing.
Hello from Alberta. Love your videos. I wish I could have done some things your doing in my younger years. Thanks for sharing all you do.
You rock Michelle! Keep being awesome!!
I love the hot tub you are a great creator of everything that would make anyone happy 😃
Hello Michelle, always enjoy watching your videos, please be careful and stay safe 🙏🥂💙
brilliant idea , great video . thanks Michy .
Wow thank you for that one what's a nice relaxing one to watch❤ love that hot tub one-of-a-kind❤😂 and it was like camping out 😊 🔋and that little powerbox awesome😮 down by the creek looks like a nice little quiet place😮 thank you so much for taking us along with you😮 I hope that your family is doing good give Clyde a kiss for me😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸😊😇🙃 tell Steve he did a good job😊 thank you for the video I will see you on the next one❤😂😢😊😊
Love it.... lot's of stuff for one night. Hot tub is awesome.
I'm thinkin 106 C is hot enough for Michelle soup...lol No, I knew what ya meant. But I do think the half round looks great up there on the front, only the builder notices that small stuff, no one else even sees that stuff. Once again admiring your creative vision, that dip in the hot tub had to feel great, in the middle of the woods...Awesome....Oh yeah, the little Betty Blue I think will be perfect for me... Thanks again👍
Very cool! You never cease to amaze me.
If you put a hose water faucet on the bottom of it toward you can drain it. You can also put a quick connect on the bottom of it to where you can put a female quick connecting to it and hook it up to it and fill it up from the water pump that you have from the Creek.
I like how you get that little hop going while splitting the logs.
Great way to end the summer
How nice...with simple tub❤
Michy, I wish I was there to keep turning you in the boiler so you don't get under cooked! Good job, tks for the video. Be safe and well!
Bonjour Steve et Michelle. a different time, but the same BC station. i must say Michelle you split wood like a pro. what an adventure. sleeping to the sound of a creek, a hearty stew to eat, a jar of wine and a hot tub made with love. nicely done Michelle. enjoy the rest of your week. cheers
Thanks William! I wish you the same! 💝
I admire your enthusiasm! That tub looks really unstable--best of luck!
