My husband built a water box. Basically a wooden insulated box with a lid but no bottom. That way, we set it in the lake, it freezes around the box but when you open the lid, you have open water all winter.
I haven’t subscribed to a new channel in a long while here on UA-cam, specifically channels like this. I have one UA-cam channel I’ve been following for a while and have come across others, but have never been drawn in. What I love about you and your channel is you’re AUTHENTIC! You don’t try to mimic other styles you see here on UA-cam and you’re just YOU. Thank you for the breath of fresh air! Blessings to you on your journey 😊 Oh yeah, and I’m an avid bread 🥖 baker and LOVE cooking outdoors, so this is definitely an added delight for me!
Linnea…..this vid was so well put together……you got skills, girl! And, I was wanting to reach into the screen and snag a piece of that delicious-looking bread! Great job on that, too. It was so good to see the dogs frolicking and playing together in the snow 😊. Loved every single second of this vid. Very much looking forward to next one….but then, I always am. Hope you guys have a great week, and hope Chris’s spider bite is healing nicely
I'm the same. If I am hot while I sleep I get really uncomfortable and have nightmares. Side note.. I think its really cool you both have your own space. I think its essential.
I think it's pretty great you both have your own spaces. It's more fun and you don't always have to sleep together to be together. You could have date nights and take turns creating a romantic evening. 💟
My wife and I have lived separately for 15 years. The only time we really had any trouble was the 30 months we lived together. We love the difference between the two of us. We are very different and we love that about us but we also love our private spaces which makes the love so much easier to find you know?
Heet and sleep don't go together! I always have weird and scary dreams when I'm to hot at night. We always sleep with the wi doe open, even if it's just slightly, even when it freezes. Glad you slept well again. 😊
Right?! I couldn’t figure out what was going on and then Chris actually googled it - that’s when we put two and two together, otherwise I don’t think I would have assumed it was just the heat!
@@Linneaandakela yeay for google! I've had it since I can remember. Also my migraine is much worse when my head is hot. I have dreams where I'm walking around trying to do something important or get somewhere, but I can hardly see for the pain in my eyes. When I wake I actually have the pain in my eyes. So rather 10 blankets and socks than warm air. 😊 It's so much fun to see you guys having fun out there.
I am so proud of you for doing this winter in the north woods & am learning so much vicariously! You are really inspiring me to step outside my comfort zone & learn to live a simpler more independent life. ❤💯🙏
I'd love for you to share your sour dough recipe when you get a chance (if you have one for a traditional oven). I've never made it before because I've been to intimidated. All of the scientific steps, materials and information overwhelmed me.
here , Linnea reminds me of the legendary women my mother spoke of after reading "Women who Run with the Wolves." and here you nicknamed Chris "wolf man". So I have no intention of insulting but celebrating the full circle from my own perspective. I look up to you both and love that you are challenging your selves! this is amazing, and completely original footage, which we all know is hard to find as of late. Totally immersing myself in your videos, I can almost smell the fire Here to cheer you on from Belmont Shore, Long Beach CA!!!!! namaste, babies 💖
I have to say I am absolutely loving this content!! I am so envious watching you living my dream, but it's so cool! You guys have been so thorough with your prep that I am in awe. Congratulations on the bread too! 🥰. I'm so curious how you're managing to upload these videos to us?? Thank you so much for sharing this chapter of your lives! 🥰💖🚐🇨🇦
Thank you so much Michelle! We both have a Verizon hotspot that we rely on for uploads, and Starlink just in case (but that draws a lot of power so we try to limit that!) Thank you for watching and supporting! ♥️
Best damn blue 💙 bowl. Helps make great looking sourdough bread and soaks Chris aka Wolf 🐺 man foot/spider 🕷 bite. 😆 I absolutely love your videos. Keep being a bad ass!
I am getting so much entertainment (and knowledge) watching your adventure. Didn't you say something about sharing your sour dough recipe? Your bread came out absolutely beautiful!!
Here's a hint on bread if you do not have a thermometer to check the interior temperature. Turn the loaf over thump your finger on the bottom of the loaf of bread, if it sounds hollow it's done! 👍
I just love, love, love this vlog. Your delight in the bread was wonderful, your prep paying off, your sharing of your day/times so very interesting and I can't wait for each Sun to watch. Love the dogs playing and snuggling and you are Chris are so loving and harmonious. So good! Thank you big time and hugs to you all!
Msg 2- I live in my camper up at the homestead with my husky, to tend my gardens I got great info on your cubic mini My house burned mid last March was able to get our the wood stove from the basement but it's too big for a camper I heated water on it and cooked throughout summer ,, an apartment in town for winter and I miss my solitude,Woodheat, woods, etc... so thank you for sharing your winters with me
I live on the west coast of Canada but I grew up back east. You are bringing back so many wonderful memories of winter life in the woods. There is something uniquely magical in that environment. Enjoy and I hope you both have a peaceful, healthy and happy Christmas. I miss my sled!
This is going to be my favourite series yet! You’ve inspired me to do more hearth and home endeavours! Also I love how getting to see a different side of you, still you but an more playful you! Your excitement with the bread was super cute! And I would love to see a tutorial from you in the future! Thanks and have a great Christmas! 💜
You four are such a wonderful vibe. I absolutely love your content. That bread looks amazing! You should try an amish friendship bread. Easy to start and makes a great dessert to go with your applesauce
Oba vídeo desta menina que tem um sorriso lindo e a Akela e Cris, parabéns pelo seu pão, eu ja estou com frio aqui no Brasil só de ver vocês ai neste frio, Eu desejo de coração que vc tenha um ótimo Natal e um próspero ano Novo, com muita saúde e paz para você. 🙋♂️🇧🇷🌲
I'm the same way, the room has to be cold for me to sleep well. Oh man, that bread looks so good! 😋 My stomach is growling. I don't know how far back your videos go but I'll be thinking about y'all and praying for you during the artc blast this weekend. Take care and stay warm. Good luck!😘❤❤🐾❤🐾❤
Been excited for this video. Looks like you both thrive out there in those beautiful woods and you work very well as a team. I’ve been loving seeing all your cooking! Keep it up. Learning a lot through you!
Just want to copy everyone else has said, I'm in Arizona but left Ohio at 10, my mom raised in a smallish shack in a holler in the back woods of kentuck. With 8 sisters and a brother, through the depression, I'm sure life was almost like you are living. She did however have a cast iron stove she talked about a lot. Stacking the split wood, it's my understanding to try to stack bark side up as a natural cover to the wood. Sending love and happiness to all. Happy holidays
A new cast iron cook is born! You can read all the books you want, but every piece is different. Finding a good bread recipe is tough. Your sourdough looked (and sounded) awesome! 😊
I recently started making my butter from scratch takes about 10 minutes and heavy cream and a wisc or a mixer if you got one. What you can do is put any herb you want, in that and eat it on your homemade bread 🍞 🍞 🍞 🍞 🍞 have a nice time 😊 bye-bye
Loved seeing the dogs wrestle! Glad your settling in, bread looks fantastic! Please do share the process! Hope the bears don’t come for your freezer meat, you’ll know if they’re around, its easy to spot scat on the snow. Have fun, stay warm.
Linnea there is one heck of a storm coming your way. Im in Menomonie Wi. Foot or more of Snow and a big drop in temperature. Way below Zero. Put some kind of skirting around your vehicles. Even snow will help insulate your vehicles. I lived in my 48 passenger schooly for three years in the Mountains in Colorado.
I'm so excited to watch this I hope you guys are doing amazing. What was that thing to clean off the tops of the rigs? All truck drivers need that to make is safer. I hate having huge piles of snow fly at me its so dangerous and scary.
awww i love the little “bloopers” at the end

I’m vicariously living through you guys! My fav channel to watch ❤
Wow thank you! ♥️
Exactly Katie! Same!!! Goosebumps on this vlog!!!
Ditto so fun😊😊😊
Akela lighting up when it's time to get the water and then stealing a little piece of ice was so cute. Hope you're staying safe and warm.
I’ve been looking forward to this all week! Y’all are the best couple. Your kids would be beautiful!
Wow thank you so much!! This is so sweet :)
"That's inappropriate!"
LOL
I'm super impressed with your dutch oven sourdough!

Nothing like having your own space especially if you have a dog near you on your bed.Or a cat.
@Adrian T you good?
Heet and sleep don't go together! I always have weird and scary dreams when I'm to hot at night. We always sleep with the wi doe open, even if it's just slightly, even when it freezes. Glad you slept well again. 😊

General rule on baking anything in a Dutch oven is 1/3 coals on bottom, 2/3 on the top. I’m in the process of converting a van and love your videos!
I am so proud of you for doing this winter in the north woods & am learning so much vicariously! You are really inspiring me to step outside my comfort zone & learn to live a simpler more independent life. ❤💯🙏
Ahh the beauty of the Great Lakes states in winter--the whole world is your freezer!

Thank you for your kind words and support! ♥️
The dog licking our of the pitcher!!! Wow
I don't know who's the cutest couple of you guys. Adela wins the grand prize anywhoo 😋😀
One of the things we do to secure ends of wood piles is pound in a couple t-posts. Helps keep the stacking easier.
Ooo very smart. Thanks!
You should teach those dogs to pull that sled for you. Every good dog needs a chore. The bread looked awesome. Great job. Thanks for posting.
Wow that bread looked so good 👏🏻👏🏻🤤
Loosing the sledge was hilarious LOL ......
I waited for your laugh...
That Dutch oven Works so good....
Proud of you.. stay safe in the storm...

Just the best -- the bread looks amazing. My mouth is watering for great sourdough now-- and the four of you are so sweet together.❤
I could hear the crunch from the crust all the way in Austin. Yummmmm
Plze be safe with the storm coming. Stay warm, stay safe. Your bread looks delicious. 🙏💙💜🙏
Always! And thank you very much :)
The excitement about the bread 😅 I feel you, sis! 😊

That's some beautiful sourdough bread! Good for you. Another triumph.
The dogs are definitely living there best life 😀 your bread looked amazing 👏 I love cooking with my cast iron over the fire 🔥

I love watching you guys working and playing together, my partner makes jokes like that all the time 🤪

I agree about the unique magic out here! I wish you the best as well! ♥️

Wow wee thank you for this pleasant enjoyable vid
How satisfying! Fresh baked bread on a campfire…with butter!!!😊. Don’t get much better than that!❤
Digging how you're settling and adjusting. I can't sleep hot either. This is such a cool thing you're doing. She's got bread skills baby!!
Thanks so much!
I love all the tiny tools for your cubic mini 😁
I would love the sourdough recipe! It has been intimidating to me!!

Hi Linnea a laser thermometer would be handy to keep track of the Dutch oven temps. Tom
🤗 ❤️ 💜 Great work...
HOW IS CHRIS'S LEG? Wishing you two, the pups, & all your family & friends a safe, healthy, & aware 2023!!

Haha love this idea! Thanks so much, I’m proud to announce it tasted as good as it looked!
The bread looks amazing!!! I would love to see a video about how you make it. The bloopers are hilarious. Thanks for keeping them in at the end!
All these videos are so well done. I love the music you use and the content is so interesting, informative
Yay!!! You guys are doing great. That bread looked amazing! Blessings!

Now I have my Sunday smile on😁
Ahh this just made me smile!

we're loving this series Linnea! it's so relaxing and fun to watch
Thanks so much guys! ♥️
I love your videos. So well put together. Watching from Northern Germany where it almost never snows.
The bread looks delicious
I lied. Said I was done. One more ' u have a beautiful life. So inspiring
My heart sores. Kinda hope I never see u 2. You're Rockstars, literally.
I have so been looking forward to this!
Love ,and be safe
Well done,your bread looked better than the bakers👍🏻
Great job! I can almost smell the bread.
You have amazing skills , editing, personality, ...
But I must ...I'm hungry and when I heard the crunch of fresh crust..
Sorry I need a break lol
I'm so excited to watch this I hope you guys are doing amazing.
What was that thing to clean off the tops of the rigs? All truck drivers need that to make is safer. I hate having huge piles of snow fly at me its so dangerous and scary.
it was a tool to clean of solar panels- they need to be clean of snow to absorb the sun's rays especially in overcast days
So lovely. This is going to be a really great winter for you guys awwe
Thank you!
@Linnea - I would REALLY like your sour dough recipe! PLZ-PLZ-PLZ!
I hope the unfortunate encounter isn't a bear getting into your freezer. Is it strapped closed? Or does having it already frozen deter animals?
Absolutely Loved This Video
