Winter ALONE in the wilderness! TINY cabin life!

I'm going to try these little ignition blocks out. Something new. The things are really fancy. Yes, these little ignition blocks are really fancy. They really help when you light a fire. They also smell really good. Okay. Let's continue with the insulation box for the chimney. Hoppla. Brain, brain, brain. Well, there we have it. The box is insulated. Half of the chimney is insulated. In any case, I put my hand in there because there is such a small inspection hole through which I can get there. And it's really warm in there. Actually, it's quite nice. I hope that's enough. I just have to put a little bit of cladding on the front. But the piece of plywood that you see now will be my entrance door when I have to clean the chimney. Hey, hey, hey. Okay. Two evenings. Here's a nice lamb barbecue. It's been a while. It's been a while since I last ate lamb from the Dutch oven. So I thought, tonight it's time. That's what you get when you leave your beer. Well, it's only around five o'clock. Wait, wait a little bit until the lamb is done. I guess it will take an hour or an hour and a half. I add the vegetables after about 30 to 40 minutes. It won't take that long until it's cooked. But in this Dutch oven it should cook really well. Now I just have to hang up, wait for dinner and throw the fire. Outside you can't do much at the moment because it's pretty dark. So basically just hang out in the cabin and enjoy the atmosphere. I might turn on the headlight and the transparent Christmas lights to get in the mood a little bit. I have my TV here this evening, so maybe I'll watch a movie too. Let's see how I feel. All in all, it will be a relaxed trip over the night in the cabin. I have framed or insulated the chimney and it seems to work quite well. I just have to work a little bit on the cladding of the future access door to the chimney because I want to be able to pull the chimney out from time to time and clean it. I can't do that when it's completely closed. It should work quite well, but we'll know better when it gets really cold up to minus 40 degrees. And I'm seriously thinking about exchanging this cast iron wood oven for one of the airtight ovens. I'm going to install a flap into the chimney and then I can better regulate the air supply with an airtight oven. I might do that on the next trip. Then I have to think about what I'm going to do with this oven. I'll keep it or I'll sell it or whatever, because I have no use for it That looks wonderful. Time to grow some vegetables. M. Use it. Here it's pretty full right now. The weather is pretty mild today. I think we have minus 10 degrees. Mild compared to a few weeks ago. The weather forecast says that there will be pleasant temperatures Hopefully there will be more snow. It has snowed a little, probably one or two inches since our last snowfall. But I would be happy if there was a foot or so. Oh yes, that looks wonderful. Yes, the vegetables have grown well. Now we tie it the other way around. Oh, it's also beautifully done. Perfection. The vegetables are perfectly done. The lamb is so good. I did it, also to think about the mint sauce. Well, it's just nice and warm in this hut. I think we have here at plus 22, plus 23 degrees Celsius. Outside it's actually quite mild. It's only about minus 10 degrees. But the moon is shining. I think it's full moon. It's not full moon. It's already very close. But as always, with all the snow outside, it's just very bright. I'll just sit here and enjoy the night. I'll watch my movie and then go to bed. In this sense, we say good night. Time to make a coffee. Hoppla. There we have it. Well, I had a wonderful morning outside today. Nice and fresh outside. I think it's still about minus 10 degrees. The sunrise this morning was beautiful. I only noticed the last part of it. So I'll just make myself a coffee and then continue with the demolition of the camp. When I'm outside the next time, I'll take care of the outdoor kitchen, the pavilion and the roof tiles. Let's see if I can get help. If not, I have an idea how I can get the roof tiles alone on the pavilion. Yeah, we'll have to see how that works. That's definitely the plan for next time. Next time it will be a day trip, but I hope it will be a whole day. I don't come out in the middle of the day and do a few little projects. I would like to attach the roof tiles to the pavilion. Let's see how that works. That's it for another night in the cabin. As I said, it was an excellent evening. When I'm on the road next time, I'll make myself attach the roof, so I can cook outside this winter. I pushed that a little bit first. I was a little worried about attaching the roof tiles, but I think I've found a way how I can do it myself. I have trouble finding someone to help me. Everyone is so busy at this time of year. So I'll just try it with a half-timber and if it works, we'll just bring the rest up there. When you're up on the pavilion for the first time, I'm pretty confident that I can just set it up myself, attach it and anchor it. And then I just have to set up the sheet metal. I'll do that next time I'm outside. I'm not going to set up the sheet metal myself, but I'll get the half-timber and prepare everything to throw the sheet metal up and then build my worktop. And I would also like to build a few more cabinets. I don't know exactly how to do that yet, but I'll figure it out. And then we can cook a little outside. As always, if you've made it this far, thank you and we'll talk later.
