Step by Step | a 1-Day Cabin Project
In this video, we take on a rewarding DIY project at our cabin! The old landscape steps leading from our cabin to the riverside trail were falling apart. With some leftover 6x6 treated timbers from a previous project, we decided to revamp the steps. The transformation was incredible, and it took surprisingly little effort. Using treated 2x4s and sturdy rebar posts for added security, we created a set of steps that are not only more durable but also much more attractive. Join us to see the process and the stunning result!

Watch us wrangle this beast, proving once again that nature loves to test our resolve. We also embark on an exciting project - installing a 275-gallon IBC tote...

Opening the Cabin for Spring | Planting in a Forest

Welcome back to the cabin! It's been four months since we last visited, and winter really did a number on the place. While the cabin itself is fine, the heavy snow and strong winds caused significant damage to our pine trees. We had previously hired someone to clean up the dead and downed pines, but now we have another mess on our hands. This trip, we brought up 40-50 white spruce trees from ou...

Spring at the Off Grid Cabin | Hiking & Harvesting

We try to get up to visit our Cabin every year around Easter. The forest is starting to come to life, there are no bugs, and it's just a great time to be in the woods. We'll hike off to a new area and check some of the work being performed by the local beaver population. It's also a great time to harvest trees from the forest, to bring home and plant on our homestead. This video was originally ...

Never too OLD to have Fun | a WINTER Cabin Adventure
zhlédnutí 4,2KPřed 7 měsíci
It's not very often we are able to make it to our off grid cabin in the winter. The trails that lead back to the cabin aren't plowed or maintained by anyone. So if there's significant snowfall, it becomes almost impossible to get back there even in our 4x4 truck. This trip however, things weren't too bad. Winters in Michigan aren't what they used to be it seems. We'll spend a couple of days hik...
Off Grid Cabin Tour | Manistee National Forest

Welcome to our Off Grid Cabin. We purchased this cabin with about 10 acres of land back in 2015 as a place for us to get away from everything. We've made a few minor improvements over the years, but nothing really too major other than adding and testing various portable solar solutions to power everything. The purpose of this video is just to get all of you familiar with the space - not to expl...
Salmon Fishing on the White River (Michigan)

Filmed back in the Fall of 2016 - Fishing the White River in Hesperia, MI with "crank baits". It was definitely late in the season, and many of the fish were zombies, mostly black with white fins. But catching one has been on my Dads bucket list for a while now. He fulfilled his goal, and we had a good dinner afterwards! I filmed a lot this day, but of course had no camera running, when action ...
Cabin Time: Fishing & Firewood

Weekend trip to our off-grid cabin. Processed some firewood, and spent some time fishing the river. Was hoping for salmon, but the trout was nothing to complain about - and it tasted great!

Easter Weekend Cabin Trip - 2016

Our first CZcams video! Filmed during our 2nd annual Easter weekend trip to our off-grid cabin. Happiest among the trees. More videos to come.
Baking Food in Aluminum Foil is sooo bad for you, you are eating all those metals that leech through use unbleached parchment papaer.
I would be afraid someone would kill me way out there in the middle of nowhere I don't like big cities either more of a small town person
Stairs looking good.Dinner looking good too. Had you thought about catching the rain water for your tank under the porch? 🫂🫂
Yes, we discussed that towards the end of the video. The water tank video that is.
The steps look beautiful. Great Job! I had a little chuckle to myself at the end when Rachel said she piddled and put the moss out. In Australia that is a word often used for urinating, especially when dogs get excited and piddle on the ground or floor. I am sure that is not what Rachel did 😆 😂. For the little job Rachel did of putting the moss out we would say something like "I pottered around placing moss........".
😂
Love the cooking and cabin videos. Keep up the good work guys!
Cool I was born in Michigan
I wouldn't leave ice chests full of food sitting on the deck...that's bear bait. Beautiful cabin!
Thank you for everything you did for me. Papa Todd and Mama Rachel.
well said.great couple.
You Changed my life. If it Wasn’t for Todd & Rachel, I Wouldn’t know Where I Would be Today. I Can’t never Thank you Guys Enough. I’ll be forever Indebted to you Guys. If I don’t See you Guys in this Lifetime, I’ll Definitely See you in the Next Life.

Hello from Nebraska. Just found your channel and really enjoyed watching . Thank you for sharing❤

Very nice Todd!
Hi Tod and Rachel, Great Show, I live in mid Michigan. Onondaga. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to retire in Michigan. I am originally from Detroit but I would love to be in Traverse City. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the video and the Napoleon Dynamite quote 😀
Great video, do you guys worry about ticks at all?
Not too much at the cabin. Tho there are some around. We're pretty used to doing checks often.
I like that mini chainsaw…would love to clean up the way overgrown bushes in front of my house 👍
I wish this video had smell o vision so I could smell those yummy steaks 🥩😋❤️👍
Good morning

Just found your channel. Really enjoyed. I live in Wisconsin, but grew up in Lake Odessa, Mi. Our high school team played Fremont every year. Love all videos from the great state of Michigan! Go Blue!

I remember some of these stories from your main channel. It's fun to see the extended versions.
My dream home is an A-frame in the woods of either Oregon or Washington in the Pacific Northwest.
So magical
Simple life and yum.
Great job on those steps and steaks
Up north. Hey 51 and US 2 !!
Nice socks Todd.!😄
Thanks! 😁
So satisfying. It will be even prettier when Rachel's moss fills in. Will help with erosion also. Your soil is sure sandy (Glacial?). When we travel, I miss the fertile black dirt of East Central Kansas but we also have our share of clay below it. Every location has its own beauty. You have forested areas and we have the beautiful green rolling Flint Hills.
Large portion of Western Michigan is all sand. Was all dunes long ago.
Those stairs aren’t going anywhere! Nice, Todd.
Looks really nice!
Seeing you two holding hands is so touching. You are blessed 🙏
Perfect just the way it was. Great work.
Nice video

Looks wonderful had an idea when you put those small twigs at the end you could put a small. Hole in the wood and put a light so your path is lit. Great job! Nancy from Nebraska
I've thought about adding some solar lights outside, but for some reason I really like the natural darkness when the sun goes down.
Weenies !
