First Winter at My Old Cabin in the Mountains

- Well, the firewood almost ran out. I am struggling to keep up with what is needed to heat the cabin.
This week I continued splitting up the huge log rounds from the new stash, strained my herbal elixir from the off-grid cabin, worked on my small business in the a-frame cabin, spent time exploring the land and swam in the freezing river water.
Also, Kyle has returned well before this video went live, as shown and mentioned at the end.

I truly admire you, Ally. You're kind, wise, and strong.
Kudos to you for keeping up with the Winter needs of your home. I want to give you a shout out about one of your products. In the Winter I have problems with my heals cracking. I have a tin of your The Remedy Salve. It’s working wonders on my feet. Thank you! Great video!
Thank you so much! You really made my day with this sweet message. Glad to have provided you with some relief. Sending good vibes your way!
I use her Remedy Salve for the exact same issue❤
I have a hard time keeping my Shiba Inu from licking off my lip sap which I use in other ways if I have dry skin.😅😅❤❤
How do you order this stuff???
Why is your wood pile so far away?
Glad you got ash! My dad bricked up our fireplace and put in a wood-burning little workhorse the first year in the '32 Cape Cod he moved us into in '75. I grew up on Long Island & he partnered with a small family wood cutting business after working shifts on the LIRR so there was no shortage of wood for us.
While our neighbors usually had to have the oil man come at least three times throughout the fall and winter months, we only called him once a year.☺️
I still remember the one time that the oil truck was parked across the street from us for about a week because he thought that we were buying it from the other guy who was selling it a little bit cheaper. If we were, we would have breached the contract and he could have sued us. I still remember his jaw dropping when Dad told him to come around to the back and see why we don't call him so much. He just wished us a happy day and went on his way 🤣
I helped dad rotate the wood on three out of four of the sides of the backyard throughout the warmer months.
It really makes you appreciate basics. Things have changed, we've relocated 8 states south, and we are now 53 years old and looking to downsize. Our land is being overtaken by 'investors' and our acreage is one of the few properties left where the deer and wildlife still have some sort of a refuge.
Just recently, yet another car wash (to add to the three already within 500 feet of each other) popped up, and the second coffee shop that is plopped onto an acre & half, already has a For lease sign in the window. They didn't last one month. Most of the deer come to feast on my muscadines from that area. I remember walking by it on my treks and how the area used to be so lush with berries and foliage. Now it's basically one big mud pit because the erosion is so bad 😞
But we'll be looking to move toward the N. Georgia mountains as we retire soon. Hopefully where people will continue to appreciate undisturbed land.
I appreciate that I don't see a romanticization of your videos. Both of you are just trying to make a living, appreciating the land, and enjoying life with friends.
Great job!
Ally - when splitting rounds of wood bolt down car tyre to the chopping block, place your round inside, so when you then split the round it all stays within the tyre so you don’t have keep stopping to pick up the split logs off the ground. Saves time and your back. Happy splitting from Rutland, England.
IF the round fits.
Perfect red bathing suit for swimming in the ice cold stream surrounded by snow covered woodland.
For your labels just order round label sheets. Follow the instructions to print like a regular address label. You can buy the natural looking paper labels too.
you and Kyle's stories are so pleasant and relaxing to watch Thank you
I appreciate you saying that, thanks!
Nice to see your new video! Your a strong woman & smart
I really enjoyed your video. I am very impressed how you swing the axe splitting wood. You are very organized. Yet you are a very balanced positive woman. You should be very proud of yourself! Your very Blessed with many gifts and talents!😊
It was good to see the inside of the A-frame. You’ve made it so cozy! 👍🏻❤️
It is a good thing about the ash trees . To my knowledge it does not need to be seasoned before burning. I was born and raised in PA.
It truly was such a blessing! Burning so well.
Less than 2 minutes in and I FELT this! First time having a wood stove as main heat source off-grid and my husband and I went through the same thing. Cut SO MUCH wood and thought we would be good for the winter...then a snowstorm hit that put the temps down to 11 degrees and we were stuck up here for 8 days and we went through that wood like paper. It absolutely DOES make a difference which wood you use, too. Some burn so fast while others will burn more slow & steady. Going to watch the rest of the episode but wanted you to know that I think you are a BADASS and thank you for INSPIRING the masses. Living off-grid s NOT EASY even if it may look "fun", and it is, bit it is also HARD WORK!
Right on. Your ability to live off grid is going to be more valuable than you know👍
Thanks a ton!
I just put my plants in the shower or outside in warmer seasons in the rain to clean their leaves. It's what would happen in nature...rain rinsing them clean. No concoctions needed. Just a light pressure shower spray.
My cat must have known you were petting yours because he came beside my chair seeking attention at almost the precise instant you made contact with Mow!!!😄😁😉❤
Hahaha that’s great!
I add my oxymel mixtures to soups and stews and it's brought them to the next level.
Ali you never let me down, with my thinking you are superwoman... BECAUSE what you achieve... IS inspiring... You home is really Coming along now it's just beautiful.... I love sweet mow.. He always makes me smile 🐱💕that elixier looks great.. You take care now 👌💞
Another refreshing video Ally. Now may be the time to invest into a log splitter.
So cozy w all the low lighting and woodstove❤
You are such a Blessing in your relationship with your significant other🥰‼️🙏🏼❣️I enjoy your channel so very much, as you embrace living so close to mother Gaia🍀💚🤗🙏🏼
You have a beautiful property!! I can only but dream!! Enjoy your snow!! Cheers from Australia!!
Beautiful spot. Grew up in New England as well.
Totally agree.
Hi Ally, for your labels, try visiting a craft/cardmaking store, they usually have punches available, possibly in the right size to punch out those round labels that you print for your jars. Greetings from sunny Perth, West Australia, 34°C here today, so snow and firewood is not a problem here at the moment... Cheers, Frank.
Good for you keeping up with the cold plunges ❄️
I wish I was there to help keep you safe and warm in that big bed 😊
It's very beautiful where you're at Allie and I just would like to say your house plants are very beautiful 🌿🍃
Hello ally, have been watching your videos since a little while cause you remind me of someone else here in YT but you are way more authentic and real and I really love what you do. i also started doing little stuff made out of plants, and also have this little business idea in my mind about it... I live in switzereland and got so many beautiful flours and plants and fruits...
Hope the snow lasted a bit. Here very sunny and warm at day and freezing cold at night
Lots of supports and love
I know what you mean about firewood being fun work. I have dreaded the thought of retirement with nothing to do. I am hoping firewood will help keep me busy! Enjoy all your videos and I know they are a lot of work too!
Yes....beautiful...peaceful..wood/ work/ natural exercising 😁....but cold & damp. I was born/ bred in NE & lived most of my life up there ( NY, Mass Me Pa Del ). Enjoying first NC & now VA at 74. 😄😄😁. Love when you work on your natural remedies for yourself & others. KOKO
Thanks for the kind words! It certainly is a beautifully sensory place here in NE! Must feel good to be in those warmer climates now.
Thanks for the elixir recipe 😊
Yes!! I always eyeball everything haha I need to get better with exact measurements for sharing with people.
Bravo ❤ I love all ur house plant's 💚 We just recently made some fire cider as well, I've never thought of making mixers, nice ✌️
A lean-to shed for your firewood and your snowmobiles right close to the "A-frame" would be nice.
What a way to live.❤❤❤
Love all the plant babies 🌱
Love watching your videos and how organised you are,seeing you chopping the wood thanks for sharing ❤❤
That shotgun fire when the axe meets the wood 🤌🏼
A very calming peaceful video. To watch all what you are doing and the winterforest gives me so much relaxation.
Love from Italy. Here we have no snow during winter.🎉❤
Lots of work to have your own home in the woods but so worth it! Enjoy!
Damn girl, you good at swinging that axe. Nice work.😊
Thanks for sharing. Great video!
Like others have mentioned, use round label sheets on whatever type of paper you choose and print them off with almost any printer you like.
Beautiful house,and video thanks and greetings from the Nederlands.
Hello Ally,
Welcome aboard to my favorite pass time od YTube video in canps and off grid stuff. Being from New England myself,I refer to my friend up " on the boss of the swamp". Great guy from the north mtns of NE too. He's my library of off grid living for about 8 years now.
Good luck , Agway my mail is a great sullier too. Trctr supp little expensive..

You should get a gauge cutter! There are a lot of tools you can use that could make the process of cutting those circles much faster and easier. With a cutting mat, a set of exacto knives and a gauge cutter, you'll be spending a lot less money than outsourcing or investing in a machine 😊
You are so crafty. I guess the NE atmosphere brings that on
Labels. Try Vista Print
Princess of hearts. Shamim 💅🕊🤝👫💑🫂🌹🎎
Super Video for your and Natur 💟😇
I admire your strength!
Cabin looks so cute !! Can't believe how hard you work around there, but it's working !!❤ Salve sounds jyst great, and beneficial ❤
Girl can swing a maul, that's for sure! Personally, I like the much lighter Fiskar's splitting maul, that uses speed instead of mass. Takes a lot less out of you to get a round split. Hope that wood is for next year's fire, but I suspect it's not.
I really like your content. Your place is beautiful. Can’t wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Ally. It was good to see how you make your product and to see how your office is working out. I’ve been using your Remedy Salve daily on my feet and it’s preventing cracked heels. I also just started using Luminous on my face at bedtime and the hair product before I wash my hair in the morning. They both are nice also. Have a great week! P.S. Your new ax is amazing!
Hello Ally! I enjoyed your video today and must say, you are a very hard worker! You must be very strong to do all of the heavy-duty things you do. You are talented in many ways and put out excellent videos.
Thank you!
Ally you have alot trees on property cut down firewood
Impressive maul swinging ability. You go.
You are always an inspiration!
another video another brilliant job done. beautifully shot bro.
Always so inspiring. We have a creek by our home as well and I am always out there, even in the snow. Thanks for an awesome video!
Cool A frame sister-looks like the west up there. Love the snowmobiles too. Keep it up!
Wow, you really do get some good workouts! I admire you so much and I find your business so interesting! I'm glad I found you!!
Hey Ally, I've been checking back for a new video. Glad to see one, this morning ~ Peace Love and Light m ✨️ ❤️ 💕

Hi! Thank you for being here :)
@@allymariebrown 🍄✌️🐾♥️✨️☕️
You are a dream girl Ally! You continue to amaze me with your abilities and knowledge! Sounds like exciting news ahead on your small business. Thanks for the amazing views too! Very beautiful countryside, streams and mountains!
Your a hard worker 👍
You could get a circle punch for your labels, they sell all sorts of sizes, they normally use them for papercraft and card making.
Thanks for the idea! I’ll look into this :)
Hi ally thank u so much ur products r wonderful especially the one for my face that one is working really well because my face was really dry and flaky and putting this on. Had it on for a couple of days now and no dryness. Thank you again hon! 💕☺️👍🏼
Right on! Great video, enjoy your passion 🌹🕊️🤘🎶
Excelente canal parabéns ❤
If that streams runs good all year. You could put in a hydro electiric generator and get free powers. Later
Hope you are finding trees that is fallen down and trees that is dead, because I think those is for free, right? Cabin looks great and the spot looks lovey too. Waiting for the summer to see the surroundings. Thank`s for the video.
You can buy circle cutters. I have a metal one.
Hi Ally I love your videos. I started getting a sore throat and my voice is so hoarse and swallowing is painful. Can you recommend anything. I have been using manuka honey with teas. Thanks. 🙏🏻
Please share some tips how your money plants are growing so well with less sunlight????
I would really love to buy some of your items. When will you deliver to Canada? :)
Crickey!
You can buy cheaply circle cutters. Michael.
❤❤❤
😢😢😢too short a visit😊
More to come soon!
I see you have a himalayan salt lamp and a cat. I used to have one of those lamps too and I found too late that they are toxic to cats and dogs. My cat died.
What part of Maine do you come from
How much land do you have with your home
Ally wish you could come up with something for menopause be great if you could I would probably buy a case😃 love from Michigan 🖐️❤️
