I have a small cabin in ND and have done the same thing for years. Once you get the cold out of the furniture and walls it's cozy. I always hate getting there after dark also. By morning it's nice, but can be a bit chilly the first night. It's kind of a neat rustic experience. There is comfort in the discomfort. Something modern life has made us forget.

a couple of items for you, first you can purchase a battery blanket for the car battery amazon, ebay, or make your own, from a construction site r13, r17, r30 insulation and silver vent tape or gorilla duct tape to build a box and a lid around and on top of battery, please remember to install a door skin of wood under the battery( note when a battery sits on a steel car battery holder its discharge from the battery of the cold) then the insulated cover , then battery , then insulated top, this will keep the battery hot in cold weather. as far as no water in cabin, harbor freight sells a 4 pc of small to xl pans, 6 cups to 20 cups, i use the 20 cup of snow on top of the wood burner, add snow till is about 3/4 full , when hot and boiling let boil after that for 5 mins more pick up and walk to outside and put it into the snow for a quick cool down so you can use it right away drink bathing, etc? continue the water and snow melt down,hope that helps?

I feel ya, buddy! I live in the San Bernardino mountains in California. We usually average 5-6 feet of snow per year. This past winter we got absolutely hammered with a record breaking 27 feet! It was all over the national news. The mountain highways were closed due to avalanches, so the supermarkets ran out of food and the gas stations ran out of gas. The latter didn't make much difference because our streets couldn't be plowed. No one could move. On my street when I walked my little rescue puppy I had to duck under the power lines, the snow was so high and every step I took I had to stomp four or five times each time before I actually put all my weight down or else I would "tent pole" up to my hip. Many roofs and carports collapsed and a few older people died in their homes. It was absolutely brutal. The power was out for days at a time. I slept on the floor in front of my fireplace with my dog. Fortunately I had a good supply of food, firewood and whiskey. (Jack Daniel's for me.) That was a rough winter...

Sweet! I’ll check that out right now!

You should be burning that Woodstove with the door closed. You start it cracked, getting it going. Then close the door. Don’t use at much wood, cut it smaller. Use your air controller.

I believe he mentioned he was unable to cut it this time

Well guys, this is cabin living, what else can you say!

Haha that’s right B! You guys know how that goes out on the Gunflint 👌🏽

Not sure where in the Chippewa Ntl Forest you are, but my wife and I lived for 15 years in a little community of Pennington (population 52) on a forestry road in the Chippewa Ntl Forest, so I know exactly what you were dealing with in this video. We had a small house that we turned into a northwoods cabin. We did learn tricks to tame the cold and snow, but it was a challenge, that's for sure. But the beauty of the solitude, the stars at night, and the wildlife made it so worth it.

She definitely appreciates that!

Wow! I could never do anything like that now - can't walk very well and have arthritis on top of that. But I don't think I could have walked even that far in the snow and cold when I was younger and I could walk! Coldest place I can remember living was in Bend, OR in the early 1990's. Husband and I had snow drifts of 6 feet and more. The regular areas of snow in town where we lived in an apartment, was about 3 feet deep. I'm only 5 feet tall so it was a concern for me! Thank goodness OR had a very good road maintenance crew back then, so they kept the highway cleared. You had to dig yourself out of your parking spot though. Don't know about now as it has been years since we've been there. Burrrrr! It made me cold just watching y'all. Felt sorry for the dog though. You should have put him in the sled too. He was almost buried some of the time! It was better though when you got a trail made. For all of you! Hmmm. You need to think of a way to heat those other rooms when it's this cold, then you can stay! Maybe another small wood stove? Or a small electric or gas stove? But goodness! Minus 33° Fahrenheit is COLD!!! Until next time! God bless y'all.

Thanks for watching again! Yes -33 is rough for heating the place lol. We’re debating a propane heater in the other room or another small stove. We shall see!
