All about the Cabin

- Try to show a little of the evolution of the cabin. Sr. bought the land and had a 20x24 cabin built on about 28 acres, later expanded to about 39 or so. It's located between Wellsboro and Ansonia PA, in the heart of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon Country.
Found some old footage when I was moving some files, so I thought I would put this together to try to answer some questions about it. Looks a lot different from back in 86, but still a great place to go and make some memories with good friends. There are some great old shots of Sr. and all the work he put in up there. First thing, it’s not mine, the owner of the cabin is the Mike the Chairman.
If you have any additional questions please post them and I will try to answer them.
I love working with older gentleman , you can learn so much by paying attention to what they are doing . I bet senior enjoyed passing his knowledge on to you .
Oh yes, we knew our rolls, kind of worked like a clock when we were they together.
Thanks for the tour Tom. This was the first year since selling my PA hunting cabin this past August . Your videos keep the memories of 32 years of our hunting at the cabin alive.
Thanks again.
Big Bob
Sure thing Bob, glad the can help your memories of great times at your cabin going. Take care!
Really excellent video story... Thank you!
Think that should have helped Mark.
That red Excursion is SWEET !
Sr's, could fit everything you need and have room left over.
That was awesome, first time I seen this video, and senior up close. Maybe you can tell Mike he has an awesome father,like we all need honor our Dad's. My dad is still with us,turns 90 this year,and still comes to deer camp. 🙏❤🇺🇲🇨🇦 our veterans, blessings. Ps I worked with a man year's ago on the highways, he was a 🇨🇦 ,first nations who fought in Vietnam. Summer 1981,man seems like yesterday, I was18. Rest in Peace all the veterans .Blessings their family. Til next video, happy weekend, and deer season. 🦌
Hello Vernon, good to hear from you. I put that together a while back because I was getting some questions on the cabin and the dynamics there. Glad to hear your Pop still makes the trips to deer camp with you. A lot of special memories. Take care and God Bless.
Tom, I always wonder how big the cabin was, and you had a video of it. As a kid, Dad had a 22x22 garage built, which I inherited, and always thought how it could be a 2 br cabin. This was before tiny homes and such, in fact about 45 years ago, when a peanut farmer was in office. Well the deck Dad and I built 50 years ago or so is starting to rot the 4x4 posts (good treated "green" posts and I've been thinking about what to do with a 1/2 deck and a 12x16 covered sitting area with a fire pit. Chairs, beers, smokes (I don't smoke, but a pipe or cigar doesn't bother me) Maybe a smoker and Webber grill....thanks for all the videos!
Glad you are enjoying them. A few changes in the cabin since then, but basically the same. Always seems like there is something to do, question always is do I feel like doing it once I get there.
Hi Whiterook. Greetings from Delaware county. My great uncle always said his cabin had running water. You just had to run...and fetch it.
Thanks for a great video. Slot
Sounds about right!! Delaware County, I know it well.
Nice tribute to your buddy and allowing us to see how "Camp Go Time" has evolved.
nice bunk layout that was a good idea
Much better this way.
Awesome video. That camp looks amazing. Great tribute there. Thanks for sharing
You bet! Thanks.
Great video as always ,,,,I enjoy these so much.....please keep making them
Will do sir.
Man this was great! Long over due! What a great way to enjoy my coffee this morning! Thank you and keep up the great videos!
Great video. Thank you for the tour.
This was awesome! Love hearing the history! Don't worry about the kidding that you do with each other - so much fun - all in stride! Those of us who watch. know the fun! Love all the videos - just wish you had a deer camp video every week- hour long - seriously - look forward to the guys and all the activity! You obviously respect and miss Senior - sorry for your loss. Respectfully ....... We Wouldn't be able to enjoy these videos without him. Thank you! I am serious - would love a weekly video, hours long!
Thanks Elizabeth, if I lived a little closer there would be more. Sometimes I wonder about the long length of the videos, glad you head you don't mind.
@@whiterook85 the longer the better!! I wish they were ten hours each!!!! I go back and binge watch them all very frequently.
You have good friends there, the owners are very generous
Thanks for showing the progression. Great video!
Great job Tom. A lot of history and I can tell the bond you & SR had hunting together over the years. I’m sure you carrying on the tradition is very important in your heart.
Thanks, there was a great bond between us.
Beautiful well put together Cabin History. God Bless Senior. You guys have a really nice Cabin to go and reflect on the past. Keep the tradition alive and well. Always look forward to your videos. Keep on keeping on and Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.
Thank you, I really enjoy heading up there. Wish is was just a little closer, would be there a lot more.
Thank you. My hunting group out of Philly have been hunting in Clearfield County for 48 years now always rented the state cabins... this year we purchased a 50 acre plot in Wilkesboro PA which we will use for small game hunting and long weekend trips with the family your cabin is perfect for what we’d like to do I’ve been watching your videos and taking a lot of notes so thank you for posting your cabin video
Philly Jim
Great to hear you bought a cabin, I'm sure you will have a lot of fun there. Congrats!
Thanks for putting this together and sharing, brought back good memories, of the camp of my Dad and his Nam Veteran friend, I grew up going to.
Glad these videos can bring back some good memories of maybe simpler times. Thanks!
Nice video. Good way to pay tribute to your friend. Thumb up.
Great to see the evolution of the camp and the man that made it happen. If he was half the character of the chairman you had a good friend. 👍
Haha, Sr. was 100 percent the opposite, just a great guy.
whiterook85 that is in itself funny! Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next cabin trip. 👍
Enjoyed the history. Heading to our upper Michigan camp to watch the Super Bowl.
The weather is nasty in the U.P. be careful and have fun at your camp. I live in the central part of the U.P. of Michigan.
Great Video!!! Always enjoy them. Good Times!!!
Rook, another great video it reminds me of all the fun and memories of my past hunts in NE PA , also to pay respect to all your hunting friends and family that have past
Great video! Thanks for sharing all the info. A camp or cabin is always a work in progress. God Bless you and the crew. Until next video
Thanks Terry.
My grandfather and his WW2 buddies had an old deer camp in the Adirondacks. I went up there as a young kid and still have great memories of that cabin...
Wow! I feel so connected to that cabin even though, I've only watched it, through videos. This was a really good upload!
Thanks for sharing the background and history of the cabin, much appreciated Whiterook85. Losing a friend and parent is always tough, but the memories you have of them keep them going. Looking forward to your next upload. 😎
My husband is an avid hunter and we love watching your videos together! We love seeing your grilling and food and beverage recommendation too 👍🏼 Keep making these awesome videos!
Thanks Myra, glad you both enjoy the videos. Spring trip coming up in a couple months, should be another great time. Thanks again!
I just came accross your channel and spent two hours watching your videos...really enjoy your videos and subscribed. Thanks for posting.
Hello Felix, thanks !
I have felt like a part of your camp for years. Thanks
Awesome video. Nothing like looking back at old videos and pictures of hunting buddies of yesteryear. Makes one miss all the good old times
As much as i love wood burning stoves i ended up ditching mine this past year. Instead i put a 30K btu propane wall heater and 150lb tank. Now i have more room and dont have to deal with tending a fire to maintain heat throughout the night. Just crank it up and set thermostat.
They are pretty nice Derek, don't blame you on the conversion. Less smokey clothes, and that 2am fire tend, well no one wanted to do that.
Nice video bud!! Heck iv always thought Sr. Was your dad and sintax's grandfather but hey now I know. Thanks for the video and take care.
Thank you!
We have a camp like yours,you should look into an off grid shower.Cost us $40 and it works well.quick heads and tails shower.
Will have to check it out, thanks!
That was a great video thanks for sharing
Great video. Thanks for posting. It took some work to put all of that together. Always like the cabin videos.
I had always just assumed senior was your father I never knew, great video
Was a great friend for sure.
Great video as always. Can't wait to buy some land and start the evolution of my own property/cabin when the finances become more readily expendable.
Save what you can and it will happen. Good luck!!
Thanks for the tour!
GREAT SHOW, i really enjoy what you put on your vids
Thanks for shareing the before and now pictures and videos of the It,s go time camp.
Great video as always. thanks for sharing. Great getaway spot
great video!!! enjoy watching all your videos!!!!
Now you did it, for sure I have cabin fever for my place in northern Wisconsin. I like the flash back and the progress maybe talk about the future/wish list for the cabin. Thanks for sharing and stay warm and keep living the dream.
Rook, lucky to have such a great friend-rare in life.
Very true sir.
Thanks for video God's taking care of senior now
Whiterook and crew you guys are the best there is no fun like that had at camp the cabin went from awsome to amazing thanks for the tour and the journey
Thanks Randi! 😸
Well put together buddy! I enjoyed.
Great video. A little in common with us. I lived in Delaware for 10 years before moving back home to PA. I still hunt DE but also have been hunting Tioga for many more years. The time spent with friends and family in the mountains make a cabin a camp. So much like home. Great times and as I say often, always an adventure. I hope to run into you someday. I will buy the first round...
Sounds like a plan Terry, Delaware is a pretty nice State, at this age I like the flat as a pancake land. You never know, may make it back to PA someday. Thanks.
great video! thanks for sharing.
That is great... way to capture and keep the memories alive.
Great video Rook. You guys got a great thing going there. Keep up the good work.
Love it. I could spend my last days in a place like that and be quite happy.
great video, I've watched a good many of your videos and I always wondered how it all started and how everyone was connected to the camp. Thanks for sharing the story, you have a great place to make life long memories!
Thanks for watching. and glad it helped.
Great Video. Love the history and the old pictures. Keep up the great work!
Great video of the cabin. I'd like to get into a cabin someday in elk or Forrest County. You guys have so many memories from that place. It's great to see the transfer formation over the years. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I'm sure you have a lot of great memories from your camp also.
I don't know what happened to the word memories in my comment. My bad
As generations and values change, some constants remain. Deer Camp means something different to everyone, but we all agree that the hunts we make there, the friendships, stories, laughs are what keep us coming year after year. For those years that we don't make it up, or after we hang up our guns, we can still look back on some truly cherished moments up on those mountains in those camps.
Very true words spoken there. One of the reasons I make these videos so future generations can look back at a piece of the past.
May I ask about SR and his passing. Thanks
Thank you for sending this video to me absolutely enjoyed it. Hope to one day be able to call a place like this my own and do something like this. Just waiting on winning the lottery
Chad good luck with getting a cabin, maybe start a separate bank account and put a buck or two in there every pay check. It will add up over time and may be at least a good down payment.
Great video,can't wait to build a camp of my own.
Good luck with it, save a little when ever you can for it. Will be a place you will remember always.
Great video as always!
Awesome. Just what I needed.
I always enjoy your videos, It reminds me so much of our times in hunting camp. We had a cabin not far from you off of Gurnee Road north of Gaines. Beautiful country up there in the northern woods of PA. Sadly, many of our crew have passed or simply aged out of hunting. I will always cherish my hunting camp memories.
Great video. It's nice to see the background of the cabin where so many great memories are made.
1.4 × 1021 kg = The total mass and weight of the worlds oceans...just a little north of Camp Cook's weight at deer camp 2018.
Can't wait till the spring trip.
Bahahahahahahaha
Wonderful video Rook! It’s always nice to be able to document the progress of a project such as the cabin. Sr. Seems to have been quite the craftsman (and you too). Thanks for sharing as always and sorry to hear about George.
Thanks Chad. George is doing a lot better now, seems to be getting back to is old self again. We where pretty worried there. I wanted to do something like this for a while, and since I had that video I shot at Deer Camp I thought I would put it all together. One day I will find the older picture and do something with them too. Stay warm!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your cabin videos each year. I have the ability to purchase some land this year and hope to begin a tradition much like yours with my brother, father, and a few close friends. Cheers from Georgia.
Congrats!, something you will remember for a long, long time.
Love it when I get a notification for a new cabin video
Well done Whiterook. If camp walls could talk. Good stuff.
If they could talk, we'd all be in jail. 😎
Great vid Whiterook ! Needs a roof on back deck !
Fantastic video, thanks for that! Real good to finally see some video of Senior, too!
Wish I had a little more, that was when we were just getting into filming things up there.
When I cant be at my camp I love tuning in to see your camp. Hope to see many more memories, nice video.
Thank you! There will be more.
😊
Hey rook, I remember a few videos back you guys were having problems with the woodstove...I think the problem is your pipe the updraft isn't flowing well . The 4 or 5 ft of straight pipe then the bend isn't allowing the heat to updraft well like it would if you had a straight pipe thru the roof...
That's been like that for 30+ years now, I don't see a change coming. You just have to warm it up easy and get a draft going.
Really cool video. Thank you for the journey. That's great that you have the cabin's history and progression like that. That place is a little slice of Heaven.
Sure is, let me know when you get your mount back.
@@whiterook85 I definitely will. I think I'll do a video about it and tell the whole story.
Sounds good!
I'd like to see a video where you go through all of your antlers and talk about the story behind each one. I think that'd be an interesting, entertaining video.
Really enjoyed the video ! The extra details on how the camp got started and then evolved were very interesting. Reminds me so much of our own camp. You guys are all great and are almost like family. Poor Campcook has been ball busted for years. lol He truly is a great sport and gentle soul. Always look forward to your vids Whiterook 85. Cheers
Ian, glad you enjoyed the background of the cabin. Cook gave it back to the Chairman this year. unfortunately it wasn't a "safe for work" look so I didn't include it. Thanks!
great video thanks for sharing the memories, hope to break ground on our cabin in the next couple weeks.
Great to hear Bill, good luck with everything there!
VERY NICE VIDEO. I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE. TAKE CARE
Great cabin and neat history 👍🤠
Our family's cabin is a few miles above Haneyville Pa. About 12 years ago my dad and other members decided to build onto the old cabin. They built on a new modern cabin. Yes its big and has 2 full baths. Beautiful cabin. But i miss the hell out of the old cabin it was open floor plan with no running water. a out house and a old woodstove. Don't need a big cabin.
WR, really great video! Glad you held off on the Deer Camp 2018 video and sliced this into it’s own. Really enjoyed the story and history behind the cabin and the times you had with Senior for so many years. It’s obvious you lost your best friend and each video is a little tribute to him. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Nice job.
Thanks Tim, glad I did also. Seems like the right video to put together to show the history of the cabin.
Very cool video!!!
Great Memories !!!!!!and more to come...…...
Great job with the video! It sure does look a lot different compared to the early years. Sr did some very nice work to the cabin over the years.
Very different, it is really bright and comfortable inside. We still enjoyed it either way though. Thanks!
nice video whiterook85 I like how you showed the. improvements over the years 👍
That's awesome ! I live in the area and every time I go pass your guys cabin on rt#6 I always think of you guys and what your up to . It's nice to see you and sintax bonding and having those precious moments in life that only come every so often . Thanks whiterook for making the videos I really appreciate it. Good luck in the spring trout fishing... You never know I might run into you on the Creek ... I'll be throwing a rig of wet flies !
Thanks Erik, should be up there some time in late April or early May. Good luck fishing!
Well done! People don't often take the time to capture "today" through photos or video. Before you know it, years and even entire decades have flown past in the blink of an eye before you realize how far you've come. I wish we had more channels out there that capture today's story for tomorrow. Like I tell the guys at our camp, you can never have too much footage. Keep those cameras rolling guys, you'll appreciate it down the road. I know I certainly do!
You are right about that, wish I had more footage of it back then.
Great Stuff
It's just Ol son Wayne Tom.
Did you guys know anyone at Babs creek bar and grill in liberty
No, haven't stopped there.
great vid white rook. did I miss the part about why chairman always has his hands in his pockets ? bahahahah !
Jacob Poucher I have bad blood circulation in my hands!!
@@thechairman7276 well now I know. you're awesome for the response and the appearances in the videos man.
Jacob Poucher Hahahaha all gd bro... I was just kidding about the hands. I really don’t know why I do it, I think it’s nerves- it’s usually in the beginning of filming when we first show up... now I do it just to be a doosh!!!! Thanks for watching and I agree with you, techno E is a shitty name!!!
@@thechairman7276 yeah i noticed that it's hilarious! (at the begining) oh yeah techno e and his garbage Polaris quad I want medical man back...poooolaris or not.
Jacob Poucher we all want medical man back!!!! Rook didn’t run that name change by us- that’s why it ain’t funny.. snacks was my idea for cook!!!
We got heavy rain Rook
Not too bad here, mostly windy.
@@whiterook85 ok
Great as usual! I love the cabin videos. I also thought Sr. Was your dad. Which explains why I was confused in the last video’s comments when you said the Chairman’s name was because he owned the place.
Keep them coming!
My my
Does the property you purchased adjoin the 39 acres or is it included?
Great video answered a lot of questions
Keep them coming!
Thanks
Thanks all included, Mike owns the cabin and 28 acres, I own the plot next to it with an additional 11 acres, all woods. 😀
Little piece of heaven
We go through Wellsboro on our way to Wellsville Ny. where are cabin is located. Like that little restaurant that is the shape of a trailer in downtown Wellsboro.
Wellsboro diner,,, two over easy with ham and rye toast!
Contains so many memories of my hunting years...what year did Sr. pass?
2011 unfortunately. Will meet again someday.
Notification gang! Great to see this video!
Who owns the canin now?
It’s not mine, the owner of the cabin is the Mike the Chairman. Sr's son, as it should be.
