  • I make a start with the wood panelling for the bedroom. Winter makes a brief return again, covering the fresh foliage in snow. Finally, the tent deck goes to a new home.

    When the Border Collie showed up and you were playing with the stick brought back so many memories of my Border (my buddy and driving companion for 17 years). One day when I was picking my daughter up from school, one of the teachers stopped by me and Abygale who was laying by my feet and said “are these dogs smart” and I said in a very conversational tone “Abygale, go get me a stick” and Abygale slowly got up, paused, and walked away. The teacher and I then continued our conversation for a bit. Then here comes Abygale with a stick and dropped it by my feet. The teacher looked at me with curiosity and wonder in her eyes. Probably because I didn’t speak to Abygale with a command or even try to get her attention but just the same tone as I was speaking to the teacher. Border Collies are keen listeners and extremely intelligent.

    Your mom would be proud of your apple pie. And thanks for the tip about freezing them to achieve a perfect cut! Oh, oh. "Freelance" has your number - he knows you'll play with him. You know that's only one step away from feeding him, and once you feed them, they're yours - LOL.....;). The paneling is looking good. I'm so glad to see you enjoying the fruits of your labors, and the milestones along the way. Thanks for sharing them with us. Have a lovely week, Martijn.

    Martjin, you're videos evoke the Divine- from the pie making, to playing with the dog and a stick, and the snow storm, you remind us of Divinity in all things. I am truly grateful to you for sharing your vision and your life. Sending you and all who "get it" Love and Peace.

    Dear Martijn,
    Your channel has always been a tremendous inspiration for me.
    In fact, you are the catalyst for my love of nature and scenery.
    I watched your two years on a bike during my sophomore year of high school.
    Long story short, I hate school.
    Every day I worked tirelessly for someone else to not even get a return in skills or "education."
    I had an advanced placement American History class that stole all my weekends.
    This went on for months.
    It was absolutely depressing.
    I begged for summer.
    I came across your channel on the day I missed out on a debate trip.
    (I forgot my bag and thought it got stolen. The teacher excused me and I got to skip the trip.)
    At home, I found your video two years on a bike.
    It was quiet, reassuring, and visually breathtaking.
    I never knew what I was getting into.
    That night, in the darkness of my living room, I watched the video that transformed the trajectory of my life.
    A fiery passion I never knew I had, found through your video.
    For the next TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT, I went to bed fantasizing about going on my own bike trip.
    Waking every morning, no thought for the past or future, entirely separate from the illusions of thoughts and words...
    Seeing the sunrise, the breeze of air on my skin, the singing of birds among the trees...
    I LITERALLY could not stop visualizing the video you made and the four total episodes.
    I was utterly amazed. (I WILL SEE THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST!!)
    Right now I am pursuing freelance copywriting so I can have the wealth to pursue my dreams in life:
    * Photography
    * Surfing
    * Nature
    * Carpentry
    All of which I was led to discover through your videos.
    (I joined a carpentry class because of your videos)
    I have given up TV, Video Games, CZcams entertainment, Music, Sleeping in, etc.
    I live, eat, and breathe copywriting.
    I have debated writing this to you for the longest time.
    I never wanted to give the false hope your video would lead to me reaching my dreams but never achieving them.
    That or trying to be a validation seeker. (gross)
    Currently, I have the strongest faith in my future.
    Your videos to me, and likewise hundreds of thousands of people, are a powerful beacon of hope.
    Peaceful, stress-free, liberating.
    Every day people are caught up in the hell of purposeless work,
    an atmosphere of negative people,
    and then the nightmare of having to repeat that cycle over and over again.
    Living in a place they hate, around people they hate, doing what they hate...
    Seeing the results on your cabin feels like a dream.
    You're in the cabin making food instead of the outdoor kitchen.
    I am sure there are times you're pinching yourself asking, "Is this real?"
    That was my thought seeing the latest thumbnails on your videos.
    Witnessing your skills and humble attitude just in the few minutes of this video,
    gives me the greatest deal of inspiration toward what is capable in life.
    What kind of man I can become.
    The life I could live and make for myself.
    All I wanted to do was just say THANK YOU.
    I didn't write this to get a response,
    honestly, I would rather get NO RESPONSE so this message is utterly selfless.
    I just wanted to express my gratitude for your work and remind you your channel is much more than mere entertainment.
    Ciao👋
    Dog with a ball
    P.S
    When I finally get my dream, I will post a link under this post showing a photo of me on the Pacific Northwest Coast.
    That will undoubtedly be a year or years from now,
    but it will happen.
    Just like your cabin,
    my dream will manifest.
    No matter how long it takes...

    Not sure if it's intentional, it most likely is, knowing it's Martijn we're talking about here. But this video felt different, in a good way. The start of the video was more personal and relaxed. I can totally see this slight of a change make your format a lot better actually. Personal and relaxed intro > work, hiking and whatnot > ending monologue. Definitely a nice way of going about it. Thanks for another video, Martijn. Always appreciate it. (Also, a later edit here: Didn't realize until now, how much I have missed the music in the videos. I know there's always been music in the end of each video, but I'm talking about the music throughout the video, in the middle etc.)

    The falling snow is absolutely mesmerizingly beautiful. No snow, and then ... the next morning ... Wow 👋! I love the Wood Wall paneling. I have to confess. I was a bit worried about those unsightly concrete walls. But then, that is understandable. I am not an artisan. I am not Martijn, who had a plan, BEFORE he started his renovations 🤪. The two lady chickens are so human (and hilarious). No exploring today, thank you 🤣. But tomorrow, YES! I agree, the wall Flower Box is an iconic feature with a lot of history and sentiment. Until next time xxx
