A New Year Of Cabin Life and We're Off To A Great Start. A Backwoods Living Vlog
The new year is off to a great start. We began the year by spending time at our off grid cabin up north and now we're settling back in at our off grid mountain homestead with a little hybrid living in between.
We're rockin the retirement and life is good.

God bless you both Boss. You make me feel there’s still decent hard working God workshiping people in this crazy world.
Hope all is well in your little slice of heaven with all this cold weather.

Driving down the road a few days back and some beautiful native American flute music came on the radio. Made me think of you. A little flute in your next video would be wonderful boss

Hi Boss. Just the smile I needed! My wife and I are frozen in on the Coventry Canal here in Tamworth England. However, I was able to get some nice logs and a delivery of coal before the freeze set in, so we are toasty warm. Still trying to get a job and my 59th birthday hits tomorrow!! I don't remember getting old (but, apparently I did according to the doctor who had x-rays done on my knees!) however, when I take in all the blessings I have, my darling Kate chief among them, and I look at where I was when I first found your channel all those years ago I have no cause for complaint! I always tell you to keep on keeping on and so I will take my own advice and do the same! Regards to you both Laurie St.Lyon

When frozen in a canal, walk on the ice and get firewood. Now that's what I'm talking about brother. Look for the positives whenever you can. Well done :-))

Thanks for another great video! Perhaps one reason why I enjoy watching you is because I have a sense of humor. I feel like if you can’t or don’t have a little fun in life or laugh at quirky stuff, you are missing out on true joy that is freely available in a lot of situations. Sometimes you just have to look for it a little bit. Take care!

I love how everything is sorted, documented, and organized. I am always looking for some thing not to be found when it is needed. Then the frustration sets in and you tear up the garage looking for what you need. Just did it looking for salt after shoveling snow. Funny video. 😁 I enjoyed it. Stay warm and safe. God bless.

great humor…chock full of nuts, indeed. tilde didn’t look too happy about having a door put on “her” dog house. seeing the younger you puts me in mind of dave whipple’s (bush radical) 20 year old son mick (betting on alaska) who is just starting out his journey building his first cabin and homestead. i imagine it’s pretty much the way you started out.

Good Afternoon Jim, we wanted to share something very special with you. We had an artist make a custom frame for one of the prints we purchased from you. I’m going to send you a picture through Facebook Messenger.

So glad that you had a great time at the cabin, it's what you look for. Loved the video, your nut can, and you sporting that long ol hair back in the day. My fav is red & black checkers also. Take Care Brother
O no...forgot the wine 😮😅...you forgot to remind her...i like the red & black plaid
Haa Love it!!
Yellow there “Boss”; Boy did you bring back some memories for me. My dad was a hurter and every fall he would pull out his hunting gear from the closet. Gusset what was his favorite hat and coat. You guess it. It was the red and black checkered ones. He wore them until they were thread worn
