    Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

    I enjoy this realistic approach to off grid videos. Reality is sobering and enticing at the same time. Thanks for the honesty. To many channels leave folks with unrealistic expectations.

    Hey, Kyle. Dishes, plates, and glasses, right!! 😬 Arrrrgh!
    Sleigh in paper plates, paper bowls, and cups. Pretty light.
    Somewhat reusable.
    When done, burn. Or shred a little, then compost (eco-friendly!) used paper products, away from cabin. Boom.
    No wash bin, drying and crap.

    @suepeterson5675 4 роки тому +5

    Thought it was cute when skeeter looked & waited for Sierra walking back to the cabin. It was almost like skeeter was saying “ you can do it Sierra, I’m waiting for you “. Sierra needs to get a snowmobile jacket & bibs so she stays a lot warmer. Don’t want her getting sick. Take Care Be Safe. 👍😊

    Have fun ice fishing you two. I remember Cass Lake so frozen that people just drove their trucks on the ice to their ice houses. One day the lake looked like a parking lot. 😊 Had fun there. You can carry so much wood at one time. Cierra is blessed to have such a strong man. Love you two. ~Old Grandma~

  • @carolhub8080
    @carolhub8080 4 роки тому

    I’m surprised you don’t have a snow machine or a four-wheeler for the trips in and out. But I guess you’d have no place to keep it safe when you get to your truck, though. You could get a trailer for the truck, and haul it out I guess. That walk in and out looks nice though. We love MN but only visits in summer and fall, Voyageur’s National Park, Lake Kabetogama. God’s country, just beautiful. You are a hard worker who is living your dream, keep it up. Oh, and Ciera is a trooper, you take care of her! I enjoy all your videos. 👍❤️

    Amazing you carried all that wood in stacked on one arm. Did you build that outhouse, it can't be too fun to go out in the cold though? Did you rig up another shower? I like your wood stand. Smart idea to build it yourself and save the money. Keeter is so much fun to watch, as he bounds through the snow. Thanks again for sharing your lives and posting. I wish I was physically able to do what you are doing. No one can ever call you two lazy. Can't wait for the next visit to your cabin, it is always fun, educational and interesting. Stay safe from the virus when you travel, my best friend just lost his Aunt from it. Be well. Enjoy the ice fishing with your dad.

    Hey Kyle, 8" of ice over here at our place east of you on the GFT. Wife got her first Northern through the ice yesterday. Yep, when we go to town we have our lists and make everything count in one trip. Otherwise 60 miles round trip is a pain to forget an item. I should send you a short vid of a bull Moose walking right by our windows this fall. Take care! Hi to Ciera and Skeeter.

    That was one of my main jobs back in the 50's & 60's . . . splitin' wood for the pot-bellied stove in our old farmhouse. It felt so good to put your backside up near that stove on a cold winter's day in Michigan.

  • @rayw3332
    @rayw3332 4 роки тому +1

    Clean water and plenty of it:
    Fill your large utility plastic bucket or tub with clean snow and bring it in and you will put it in *a medium-sized* (40-qt)
    *stainless steel stock pot* (pricey) *with drainage faucet and handle.* Your medium-size stock pot is on a corner of your hot stove. You will fill the pot up and let it boil for 10 minutes.
    You will attach an inexpensive stainless steel braided hose from the stock pot faucet to your larger sealed/covered stainless steel or aluminum storage tank a few feet away from your stove. Your sterilized water will flow by gravity.
    Ideally, place a simple filter in line before the storage tank. Boom.
    Meanwhile, refill the stockpot with snow.
    Plenty of clean sterilized filtered water.
    You could just open a USPS PO box so nutbags like me could send you, private-like, good crap.
    But OK. You wanna do all the crap yourself, I get it.
    You could even put a splitter on your braided hose with a valve and run a line through your log wall out to your 2x2x4 ft aluminum feed trough where you take hot baths. I like it. Diabolical.

Time to populate the new generator shed and get the chain saw stuff out of the cabin. Also time to push back away for our cabin some brush and burn it. We look forward to your next videos. Take care. Oh - We have a Dyson Animal. Works good but does not like wood debris and leaves. I'd recommend an old school fuller push broom.
