    Ed, I hope your time at home was relaxing. After such a long work shift, you pulled last time. As you have told us, you love the winter months, and time riding your sleds so much.
    Safe travels to and from work with winter setting in.

    As always, good quality! Winterizing the cabin is always like a new season upon us. Things are different, or that's my feelings. Exciting and yet somber. May we see the next video, and everything is just as you left it! (except for a new sled in the front yard)

    • @MountainMariner

      I’m hoping all the lakes and creeks are frozen solid and there is around 3 feet of snow or better since that sled needs to come out by trail. This hitch should go by quickly.

    Ed,
    Watching that wood get chopped was satisfying. How long did you need to plug that axe in overnight to charge it up?? Ha
    Other things I noticed.. did you put a playing card on the wind generator?? It DOES make it sound faster..cool!
    Thanks for making the videos. It shows how to live off grid with confidence and comfort. Im kind of a "City Slicker" myself (remember that 80s movie w Billy Crystal?) .. when Curly said "I can crap bigger n' you".. that spoke to me!.. Btw.. you know how when you swing the axe and miss, and the axe handle hits your shin with full force? I HATE that.. (one of the reasons I opt for natural gas heating)
    Oh yeah... one other thing.. when the helicopter came in for a landing the theme from M*A*S*H played in the back of my head..
    Be careful out in them woods, it can be a warzone! Keep up the good fight and hope all is well up in the great white north..

Or maybe 2 t-posts welded in an X as a base and then another welded vertically. That would provide a fairly windproof, light(er) weight solution that you could move.
