The lower leg protection you showed is called gators in English and thank you for the mushroom foraging info The flat needle evergreen tree is called fur tree in English which is the most common Christmas tree type in the USA Nice to see you and Ika in the forest and cabin enjoying the winter
I loved the video Vanessa. The forest is beautiful, the decorations were beautiful and I loved the story of how you decorate your Christmas tree and that the Christ child comes at night for the children. What a wonderful way to teach children the true meaning of Christmas.
Lovely cabin you have, with all the essentials. The forest is beautiful and your knowledge on botany and uses of that is interesting. What is a great vid without great food. Very plain but nutritional above all. Thanks for sharing Vanessa
I really enjoy that your videos show the wild but also that you add knowledge in your videos. You do an amazing job. Keep up the great work. Germany looks very beautiful in the forest.
I love the little Christmas tree, so nice to see an overnighter in the fox cabin. Aika looked very cozy sleeping in the bed. Merry Christmas Vanessa to you and all your family.
Vanessa, you look very relaxed at your special place in the woods. Hope you get to make many memories there with your family.Have a wonderful Christmas with your children . Best wishes from Ontario Canada.
"If you want" is a gift from your heart. Thank you. So glad that it's still in you ! Merry Christmas to You and Your's. He's the Reason for this Season.
Those things you wore on the lower portion of your legs, in the old days were known as leggens (leg-ins) and were worn by every man who went into the forest to work or hunt. You are very dear to all of us, and I can tell you this, the Lord loves a good mom. Don't forget to pray for them. They are going to need it in the days to come. Your friend, Bruce Howard, MG
Thank you for letting us spend time with you in your special place Always learning from you about nature and botnay around you . A Merry Christmas to you and your family
What a nice overnight trip. Aika is so well behaved. Those covers you wore on your calves, the english name for them are gaiters. Beautiful forest. You have set that cabin up really nice. Thanks for taking us along. Merry Christmas. Loved the tree.🙂
In your privy, you should install a 1" thick blue foam insulation on the seat. Cut an opening for the hole. They use nothing but this in Alaska where it gets down to 40 below 0 and the instant you sit down on the blue foam, you feel warm. It's an Alaskan secret. Those are called Gaiters. They cover your shoe and go up your leg. Guten Abend John
Wild Woman Vanessa👍👍 A wonderful video of you and Aika staying in the cabin during the Christmas season. So nice you decorating the tree, showing the beauty of the forest, always teaching about plants and just enjoying your life. The meal looked delicious and I'm sure Aika liked it as well. What better bed warmer is there than a furry friend lying beside you in the cold of night, both keeping each other comfortable. Great video once again, well filmed and presented. Thanks for the hard work letting me come along on this adventure. See you in the next one.. Happy Holidays!
Wonderful video Vanessa....... That looked like a lot of food for one Lady and a dog..... The Fresh air must give you both a great appetite.... :-)) xxx
I am watching this Jan 2, but it is putting me finally in an Xmas mood. I was too sick to travel to see my sons and grandson then. Your cozy cabin Christmas is wonderful, all of it. And there is nothing like sausage! But I wish you had snow fox Xmas. We did on Vancouver Island this year. Beware that True-Crime stories are addicting. And can affect your outlook on people!
I remember in a cold-weather camping trip that you did a couple of years ago you showed how to make tea with Jay think it was juniper needles maybe? Or spruce? When you put them into your water bottle, then heated it up to make a tea. I have been looking for that, but I’ve not been able to find that video, so thank you for showing that again.
They are called gaiters. They are great to keep your legs dry against rain, snow and critters. Here, in North America, we have gaiters against snake bites.
It was so nice, Vanessa, to hear about your Christmas tradition, of not putting the tree up and decorating it until Christmas Eve. I could feel the "smile" and the love in your heart as you spoke about your kids excitement! How big their eyes must get! I respect more than anything, that you are a good Mom FIRST! The leg coverings are "gators" in English. Lastly, thanks for the "selfie stick" closeups as you walked. I've watched you for several yrs. Sure, we've ALL aged. But I can say without a doubt, meine liebe, that YOU only get more beautiful, as time goes by. Magic? Well I wish that worked for ALL of us!😝 Thanks for keeping the TRUE meaning of Christmas, Vanessa. Merry Christmas to you and family!🎅❄❄🐾🦊🎄🎆💝
Vanessa, you are so charming. I love your cabin tree and the sweet tradition where the Christ child comes to decorate your tree at home. Always I enjoy you allowing us to come and visit with you in your forest cabin. Aika feels spoiled when she can sleep with you. She is such a fine dog. God bless you!
Thank you for posting Dear Vanessa your Christmas tree and your meal you made it looke delicious .its cold here too im America also .ho0e you had a good sleep and I hope you have a great weekend ...
Was that Facebook's? lol Many of the ornaments have a story, antiques from family, ones I made or from bazaars, wooden tin soldiers, child's birth mementos, many glass balls, garland. I have a golden pear from Cost Plus in SFrancisco for our first Christmas in CA.
You have really done nice work renovating the cabin into a comfortable and beautiful forest shelter. I remember what it looked like when you first videoed it Now you have worked your magic and now it looks like a brand new place !
This is really beautiful in it’s simplicity . I hope and trust that all of your viewers appreciate the time and work involved in its making😊BTW it’s approaching dinner time here as I watch you prepare your meal and wow am I hungry!
Wow! It was so nice to see all of the features of your very quaint and cozy cabin! I know you must always enjoy your time there, especially with your kids and Aika. Thanks so much for bringing us all along with you, Vanessa! ❤
Such a beautiful forest with your cabin sitting in it, I would love that . What a cute little tree i love that the kids and you decorate the tree for the animals so they can eat how kind of you. I do not like black trees , like you old fashion decorations, i like blue and silver or red and white with the star . your was very pretty. very interesting explaining Botany to us. I feel we all would be much healthier if we used natural plants to heal us. we call those things on your calves Gators in Ontario , Canada. used mainly thru the winter closed with snaps and Velcro. Aika is such a lucky girl to be able to sleep with you on the bed when going to the cabin so cute. Merry Christmas Vanessa to you and your precious family and Aika love the video.
You are a beautiful gift from God! And I’m BEYOND GRATEFUL to have had you come back so strong from the tick scare! Wild, wacky, warm and ENDLESSLY WONDERFUL!! You all of that and so much more! An early Merry Christmas to our earthbound angel! Our very own Vanessa Blank! 🙏🎄❤️💐
It's nice to see you and Aika at the fox hut even though its looking very cold there, were I live in England 🇬🇧 it has been minus 3 or 4 degrees with a lot of frost and ice , the Christmas tree 🎄 I like , so keep warm Vanessa and be safe . The shoe leggings we call Gaiters . Owen. . ❤️Vanessa.
You'll need a little of that hot wine mix to take the chill out this time of the year.......lol! Stay well, and wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
I love your little tree and I think it is just so beautiful. I also like just old fashion traditional. I remember when you used to bring your two young sons with you into the forest and watch them put put things on it that the animals would enjoy eating. I always thought that that was beyond beautiful❤️
Your leg wrappings are commonly called Gaiters. They protect not only from moisture but debris that might get into shoes/boots. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Vanessa.
As an Aussie it’s so funny watching people from the northern hemisphere having a cold Christmas while we are outside having bbqs and going to the beach. You’re rugging up while we’re in shorts and t shirt. Hehe Our Christmas, we have to make it look like winter while it’s really bloody hot. You’ve got heaters while we’re running our a/c. Hehe The good ole Aussie Chrissy.
You really have a wonderful cabin Vanessa. It is so good to have a place like that to go to and relax and get away for a while. You really did a fantastic job making your cabin. Thanks for sharing your skills and family Christmas stories. Your tree🎄 turned out great 👍. Enjoy and take care 🙂.
I enjoyed this video very much - Christmas is my favorite time of the year, not just as a religious celebration but it is also a magical time of year for the children - Christmas will be here so soon and I hope it brings joy and happiness to all.
Your cabin looks very cozy, Vanessa, and the surrounding forest is absolutely beautiful. You certainly have the perfect retreat for those times when you just want to get away from the hassle of civilization.
Hi Vanessa. I can’t wait to get in here and see a video from you. I so always enjoy seeing your videos and I am hoping that you and your family are all doing well. I pray for all of you often and you were just such an inspiring young woman. Stay safe stay healthy❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey Vanessa 👋, Thanks you for sharing. You always cook good food. Love the old fashioned Christmas tree. I personally don’t like trees that are too much bling to them. Thanks for sharing stories and your cabin time. Have a great weekend 👋
Thank you Vanessa I truly needed this out of doors cabin holiday visit!thank-you for the lessons on outdoor survivalist and sustainability stay beautiful,and a grand merry Christmas 🎅 🎄!
for the toilet room, i highly recommend a homemade oil lamp, for both light and heat. the kind with a metal can over the top to catch and radiate heat. you can make it with the cheapest cooking oil and larger size so it burns for days and days. with this you'll never have to worry about frozen water in there when staying for a weekend or longer. i have used one that holds 1 gallon (3.78L) i put an old style coffee can with a few horizontal slits on the sides over it but not fully covering it. with the wick low it lasts for a week! and since oil can sit for very long periods of time, it's always ready for a light. mine sat on the floor near a corner, so i put some heat shielding on the walls there. i kept it there because i had a small pipe from something else and used it as a 'cold air intake.'
You're so sweet, Vanessa. A wonderful mother and such a great person. Very relaxing video. Aika ist sehr schön! 🐾
I always love the guitar picking music you add to the videos
The lower leg protection you showed is called gators in English and thank you for the mushroom foraging info

I imagine your little cabin smelled so wonderful while you were cooking, Vanessa. Thank you for sharing such a sweet video.
Aika enjoys being at the cabin. Lovely Dog.
She’s copying you, that’s so sweet! 😊
You have done a wonderful job on that little cabin. Merry Christmas.
Another great video. You have a very nice cabin. The forest around your cabin is very beautiful. Take care and stay safe.
I loved the video Vanessa. The forest is beautiful, the decorations were beautiful and I loved the story of how you decorate your Christmas tree and that the Christ child comes at night for the children. What a wonderful way to teach children the true meaning of Christmas.

Beautiful tannenbaum !
Good planning !
Gators are very useful product, wet, snow ❄️ and rain in the undergrowth!
I got home to my cabin in the woods and ate dinner and really enjoyed your video,it was a nice ending to my long wet snowy day.
I am watching this Jan 2, but it is putting me finally in an Xmas mood. I was too sick to travel to see my sons and grandson then. Your cozy cabin Christmas is wonderful, all of it. And there is nothing like sausage! But I wish you had snow fox Xmas. We did on Vancouver Island this year. Beware that True-Crime stories are addicting. And can affect your outlook on people!
look up yt vids "Clay pot heater" (for heat) and to keep the moisture out of your cabin look into "Dam rid" product.
I remember in a cold-weather camping trip that you did a couple of years ago you showed how to make tea with Jay think it was juniper needles maybe? Or spruce? When you put them into your water bottle, then heated it up to make a tea. I have been looking for that, but I’ve not been able to find that video, so thank you for showing that again.
I'm glad you're back.

Thanks for keeping the TRUE meaning of Christmas, Vanessa. Merry Christmas to you and family!🎅❄❄🐾🦊🎄🎆💝
Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr Vanessa ! 😀😀
In Norway we call the mushroom : "Røyksopp" ( Rauchpilz ) 😁
Vanessa, you are so charming. I love your cabin tree and the sweet tradition where the Christ child comes to decorate your tree at home. Always I enjoy you allowing us to come and visit with you in your forest cabin. Aika feels spoiled when she can sleep with you. She is such a fine dog. God bless you!
What a beautiful cabin and story. Must try that recipe! Can't wait for the next one.
Really enjoyed this video I was smiling right through it . I love the cabin. Hope you get a glimpse of the fox soon

very cozy very beautifull Christmas atmosphere Vanessa ..hi to Aika ..p.s. i love a good murder mystery myself ..my favorite is Columbo
Merry Christmas... I think it might have been a lot more work to dig it up, but better... You would have it for a long time...
Vanessa,That is a wonderful tradition that your Christmas tree is decorated by the Christ Child. Is this a German tradition or just your family?
I love your little tree and I think it is just so beautiful. I also like just old fashion traditional. I remember when you used to bring your two young sons with you into the forest and watch them put put things on it that the animals would enjoy eating.
