Beautiful and pristine ...God's county. Hope to see more of your videos. I love the calming effect that it has on me. You guys are safer in the wild than I am in the city. Big hugs my friends.
I like the little cabin. It reminds me of ours though your lake appears to be much larger than our lake and the water is clearer. Our lake water is quite colored from tannins.
Hi! The little cabin is pretty sweet. Just right for a few days when we arrive at the property and need to get things organized for the trip out to the main cabin. The lake that this little cabin on is pristine. There are no critters living in the lake, or fish for that matter. It's bigger than the lake at our main cabin. The main cabin lake is home to beaver, muskrats, otter and Northern Pike. It's still pretty clear, but we use a Berkey water filter to purify the water there, where as the little cabin lake is just boiled while making coffee. Thanks for watching and the great recipes for bannock!
The bears would scare me. I've seen black bears from a distance but those grizzlys.... no coming back from that encounter! Beautiful area, lovely cabin.
Hi Holly! Surprisingly, in the 19 years we've been had the cabins, we have seen a bear maybe 3 times. A grizzly walked by the main cabin late one evening and completely ignored us. But, it can easily go the other way with them. I've had a few encounters with grizzly bears and thankfully it's never been more than a speeding up of my heart as they meander on their way. Others I know have had to shoot them or die. I would not want to have to do that, but would if I had to. It's all about being prepared. Thanks for watching and coming over to the new channel!-Sue
Very nice Sue, really show cabin life off the grid, Glad you started the new channel. Your little cabin reminds me of deer hunting as a youth, the camp friends and I would stay at
@@Lisa-cj6vx We've tried several things that are supposed to keep mice out. Lifebuoy soap, dryer sheets, mint extract...haven't tried cayenne pepper though. And I do have a supply of it at the cabin, so will give that a whirl, but so far we haven't had much luck. We take our cat with us and she does a good job of keeping them out of the cabin when we are in residence. But, you know that old saying "When the cats away, the mice will play!" i do a big clean up at the cabins each time we arrive, and do leave them as clean as possible, with little for them to be able to get into. The squirrels make a bigger mess though. Our main cabin now seems to be squirrel proof, which is wonderful. Making them mouse proof is almost impossible.
@@LittleCabinintheYukon I'm sorry to hear that! I have had good luck with the dryer sheets! I had some critters put lots of hickory nuts up in the tailpipe of my car one winter!! I have used alot of the sheets since !! Well Good Luck ,I hope you find something to help!
What a beautiful spot ... complete with a supply of mushrooms to sauté, Lol ... well, enjoy your Starbucks instant and don't get wet. I'm #16 friend. Best wishes for your new channel.
We're so happy you're here! I hope you enjoyed our trip north to the cabin. If you are interested, here's the link to the next stage of our journey as we atv out to the main cabin.➡th-cam.com/video/Hys11Wf8uVY/w-d-xo.html
I should be thanking you for sharing your life with me /us. I’m a new subscriber, this is my first time watching your video. I assume there’s more to watch. I’ll do that, I’m only half way to this video and I’m loving it. What a beautiful adventure! Thank you!!
Hello, Mr.Luke! Yes, it is very pristine and beautiful. I honestly can't say how much land there is. We own the trapping rights to 1000s of hectares of land. We also own land within the trapping area where we can build. Owning the trapping rights gives us the right to also build cabins on the land without it having to be on land that we actually own. It is an amazing way to be able to build yourself a paradise in the wilderness. In Canada you need to take a course to become a registered trapper, which then allows you to purchase a registered trapline. Only people who have taken and passed the course can do this. I'm not sure what the rules are in the US though. Like you, we had this dream when we were young and were able to realize it this way. I wish you much luck in realizing your dream.
Lol! Wouldn’t that be fun! Pixies invading the cabin! But yes, squirrels are not known for being tidy😏They do work hard preparing for winter though and I’d hate to be responsible for them running short😉 Thanks for watching!
Moss works pretty good if it can be really forced into the crevices. It does dry out after time and needs to be redone periodically. This little cabin was originally done with the pink fibreglass insulation, which, as you can see, squirrels and mice have discovered the value of🐭. As we only use it occasionally, we haven’t invested too much into re-chinking, but at some point, I’m sure we will be.
Thank you! To sanitize the counters, cooktop, etc, I use a diluted bleach-water solution. We have to make sure any hampta virus is killed. It is a deadly virus carried by some rodents, and is left behind in their urine. Thanks for watching!
TH-cam has everything out of sync. This video shows you cleaning up squirrel mushrooms from I guess the first cabin. Then you were talking about the main cabin so I thought I would follow and see what it look like, but it never came. The closest I found was you clearing the path with the quad but you never made it to the cabin. Then all I found were the RV life videos. I guess nothing is in order.
Hi Frank...I'm sorry if things seem out of whack. This channel is brand new and so far only has 2 videos up on it.I also have a channel where I feature the other part of our life--RVing. It was my first channel and has about 80 videos on it. We do arrive at the main cabin in the video about clearing the trail and ATVing in, but it is not seen except for a bit of the front of it. It will be in future videos, I promise!
We do to want to eliminate them, we just want to keep them out of our cabins. We don’t spend much time at this little cabin though so it doesn’t get the attention it would need to really become rodent proof.
The "If anyone finds it" cabin sounds like a bothy. They're like a little cabin you find in Scotland where you can spend the night if you're lost.
Cool! I have visiting Scotland high on my bucket list. Maybe I will visit a ‘bothy’ one day! Thanks for watching❤️
@LittleCabinintheYukon visit the Balmoral one, you could meet the King and Queen 👍
@@DollopussD Really! Wouldn’t that be something!
Just found this channel. I have a new favorite!
Welcome!! Thanks so much for watching!-Sue and Trev
What a view !
It surely is! I never get tired of looking at it! Thanks for watching!

Welcome, Lana! That's how we feel too. Thank you so much for watching.
Beatiful place...beautiful cabin😍
Thankyou!❤️
Such a beautiful place!
It really is!
What a beautiful piece of property!!!
Thank you! We feel very blessed.
Beautiful scenery.
Thank you, Rosemarie! I can't take credit for the beauty, but I sure do enjoy it!

Looking forward to seeing all your adventures! Beautiful location!
Thank you, Laurie! I’m happy you enjoyed it😊
Beautiful place. So serene n tranquil
Thank you. It’s very special.
Sounds like squirrels weren’t enthused about the dog
I think the squirrels like to tease the dogs as much as the dogs like to try and catch the squirrels!
The bears would scare me. I've seen black bears from a distance but those grizzlys.... no coming back from that encounter! Beautiful area, lovely cabin.

The lake is so pretty eww lots of cleaning to do in there LOL. Your so nice to the squirrels.
I love the squirrels! I just don’t want them pooping in the cabin, lol!
Such a beautiful life that you have. BLESSINGS
Thank you, Judy❤️

Thanks, Wiley❤️It’s a great little cabin.
i liked the video and subscribed!
Thank you very much, Mark!
Boss of the Swamp uses reflectives on his cabin. He staples it to the wood and no critters come in the cabin. Nice area for the little cabin.
Thank you, Judy! I've watched some of 'Boss of the Swamp'...now I'll have to go and check for that episode. It is so hard to keep little critters out.
Mice don't like dryer sheets and cayenne pepper also!!

@@Lisa-cj6vx Was there a specific brand/scent of dryer sheets you used, Lisa?
Just found you! Enjoyed the peacefulness of your video. Please make more.
Thank you so much, Laurie. It is one of the things we love about our cabin. The peacefulness of life there.
I love your cabin story.

Beautiful pristine land! I’m a young man and this is my dream! How much property do you have, and was it affordable?

Looks like the mice had a hay day inside!
Pesky little varmints!😄
sure that was not pixies ? Terrible bathroom habits and love mushrooms :)
Lol! Wouldn’t that be fun! Pixies invading the cabin! But yes, squirrels are not known for being tidy😏They do work hard preparing for winter though and I’d hate to be responsible for them running short😉 Thanks for watching!
Wat about moss for insulating the cabin

What products do you use to disinfect? Beautiful area!
Thank you! To sanitize the counters, cooktop, etc, I use a diluted bleach-water solution. We have to make sure any hampta virus is killed. It is a deadly virus carried by some rodents, and is left behind in their urine. Thanks for watching!
Was that a dead mouse on the window sill?
No, just cobwebs and poop! 😁

Worst thing about a cabin is when you have
Too LEAVE.
Too true.
Eliminate the rodents or you will regret it!
We do to want to eliminate them, we just want to keep them out of our cabins. We don’t spend much time at this little cabin though so it doesn’t get the attention it would need to really become rodent proof.
