Leaving the Mountains | Before The Snow
Unfortunately back to work so it's time to pack things up and shut the cabin down for the cold. Should be back after the transformation from brown to white!

My very basic chainsaw maintenance to keep the remote cabin warm. Winter is now fast upon me, lakes are freezing up and we had our first very light snow on October 9th. Eight inches of snow in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday. That snow will likely stay on the ground until June! Lots of grizzly bear activity near the cabin. Fat and looking very healthy too.

    Ed, Watching that wood get chopped was satisfying. How long did you need to plug that axe in overnight to charge it up?? Ha Other things I noticed.. did you put a playing card on the wind generator?? It DOES make it sound faster..cool! Thanks for making the videos. It shows how to live off grid with confidence and comfort. Im kind of a "City Slicker" myself (remember that 80s movie w Billy Crystal?) .. when Curly said "I can crap bigger n' you".. that spoke to me!.. Btw.. you know how when you swing the axe and miss, and the axe handle hits your shin with full force? I HATE that.. (one of the reasons I opt for natural gas heating) Oh yeah... one other thing.. when the helicopter came in for a landing the theme from M*A*S*H played in the back of my head.. Be careful out in them woods, it can be a warzone! Keep up the good fight and hope all is well up in the great white north..

      @@MountainMariner I can see that as an issue. Aside from the obvious issue of getting it all up there, what about temporary posts like a t-post set in a concrete filled tire? Or maybe 2 t-posts welded in an X as a base and then another welded vertically. That would provide a fairly windproof, light(er) weight solution that you could move. Obviously a bear could push it over but that’s where voltage comes in 😁
