A Beautiful First Snowfall At The Log Cabin In The Woods: Moose By The Cabin

Oh, we got a tree down over the trail. It was really windy yesterday. All right, let's check this trail camera and see what we got on there. Yep, I knew it. We got moose. I am going to start the wood stove. It's upper 40s right now, but it gets down into the 20s overnight, so just assume warm this up in here. What do you think about that kitty? Do you want some heat? This is all breast meat right here. These are the two legs, and then this is the heart. All right, I can't take it anymore. I'm going after the heart. Should I try some? Okay, I will. Really good. That doesn't get too much more fresh than that. This is probably three hours old, four hours maybe. All right, I think that's it for me tonight. Dinner was delicious. Hit the spot. I'm going to get up early tomorrow morning and get going on a couple projects. I've got a couple different things that I want to do, so I will see you guys bright and early. It's definitely nice having cooler weather because you can just leave your stuff outside and don't have to worry about meat spoiling or anything. It's probably the biggest advantage of living in a cold climate and being off-grid is that six months out of the year or so you can just leave your food outside, and the outside acts as a freezer. No power needed. Good boy. This tree got the twofer. Blocked my trail to the outhouse and blocked my trail in. Skeeter, it snowed. You love the snow. Yeah, it doesn't get much better than this for me. I am in my element. Fresh snowfall, sitting by the wood stove, cup of coffee. Life is good. Some people were asking about this blue barrel in one of my last videos, but we have this for canoe camping for the Boundary Waters because you load everything in a canoe and then you have to port it, so you have to walk from lake to lake, and this is just a great way to transport food. It's critter-proof. It's not bear-proof, but it's bear-resistant, but the big thing is it keeps mice and squirrels from getting at your food, and it also keeps the weather out. It makes a good, tight seal with this little metal clasp or this clamp, but yeah, it's a great way to transport food if you're camping, and I use it here just because it works so well. It's got a harness on it, so you can throw it on your back, so it's easy to carry, but during the winter, this is what we'll use to bring groceries out here, whether I just throw this in the snowmobile sled or carry it a short distance to the cabin. It's pretty nice, and it's comfortable on your back. There's a pad here, so I'm a big fan of it, and you can actually fit quite a bit of food in here. We'll fire up this hot rod and get her warmed up so it's nice and toasty when I get back. Well, we're about buttoned up here, so I'll give you one last little look at camp. So the next project is going to be building a wood bin for this. I just have this stuff sitting on the ground right now. It's not the greatest, but yeah, I'm pretty happy with how everything's looking. There still is a few things to do. Sierra wants to get some more decor in here, and yeah, there's always projects to do, but this is going to be a very comfortable place to winter. We're looking forward to it, and we're looking forward to having you guys with as well. All right, everybody, that is it for me on this trip. That was three days, two nights. I got everything done that I kind of wanted to. There's still some firewood to cut up. I have some stuff that blew down back behind us, or back behind the cabin, and so next time I'm here, which will probably be pretty soon, I'm just going to buck all that up and at least get it stacked so that way if it snows, it's not all buried. It's dry, so it's ready to go, so I just want to get it cut into 16-inch lengths and then stack it just so it doesn't get buried. There's actually quite a bit of firewood back there, but then other than that, there's enough standing dead stuff that when we get low on firewood, I'll just go and cut some and bring it back to camp. So, yeah, it doesn't get much better than this for me. Like I said, being out here for the first snowfall of the year, having a cup of coffee by the wood stove, it was beautiful. It was a really nice morning, but as always, I appreciate you guys watching, and I will see you back here soon.
