    That's a pretty adorable little turkey (or can that be a spruce goose?). We have wild turkeys in the California hills, they are larger and don't have a ruff on their neck, but they do fan their tails. The noise they make reminds me of drops of water falling into water with a question mark, very shy and pretty. Thank you for the butterflies. I wonder where they go in winter.

    I really enjoy your channel. I watch several different channels that cover different areas of our great nation to get a feel for places I go in person. I fins your channel the peaceful and pleasently informational. Your camera work and spech pattern help me to feel as if I am there. I do admit falling asleep from time to time, but with youtube, I can go back and catch what I missed. Your landscape and trees are very unique in the way the grow arounf eatch other. I wish I could walk through that forest some, but I would not get too far. I would probably need alittle of that whiskey after wood. I was really impressed with the bear story. He was not happy with your cabin. I have also been trying for four year to tame my birds in the back yard. They are still only willing to feed and hang out 20 feet away. How do you train your to finally eat out of your hand? Thanks for sharing your life and cabin with us. Have a great week

      @TheNorthwoodsman1  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the note, it helps me as I look for other aspects to show. I do try to make it like we are one big family hanging out around the cabin. Once I asked how he wanted his eggs and it shocked many when Kevin answered from off camera. The Canada Jays are easily tamed my putting food on a platform and standing back. I them keep getting closer each day and finally put my hand on the platform. At that point it progresses pretty fast and soon they are trying to eat my lunch out of my lap. Other birds are harder but Chickadees are easiest. It helps to make a scarecrow like yourself with your clothes. When they come to the scarecrows hands you just take his place wearing the same clothes.

    Fall is in the air. Love is in the air is a song. Just how young are you? Getting a tree to fall against the wind is a bit tricky as the surface winds can change in an instant and without any notice. When you cut the notch, angle it. The lower of the angle in the direction you want it to fall. Back cut a little above the high point of the angle. Get into with the saw then use the wedges opposite toward where you want it to fall. Pound the wedges in as far as you can. Then slow cut and let it fall.

    • @TheNorthwoodsman1
      @TheNorthwoodsman1  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was an assembly line worker but fortunately ended up on many jobs over the years not tied directly to the moving car.

    Those mosquitoes would drive me crazy. I don't like having to deal with those things.
    When looking at pictures of woodsmen and their families from the old days you don't see any fat people in the picture. They spent all their time at the survival and making a living by hard work gym.

    Hi Martin
    Have you given any thought to contact the Cornell Ornithology Lab about those missing Canada Jays? I don't want to be an alarmist but they have been visiting you for so many years... it just doesn't seem right that they aren't around to share your pancakes.
    We had a terrible few years where nearly all of our gold finches died off because of a blinding eye infection. It was a real loss and after several years now they still haven't recovered
    Best to you and Vonnie

      We do bird surveys at Christmas and that will give me info. I think it was an aberration. Maybe they found a dead deer and preferred the meat.

      These trees are tall and straight with no lower limbs so a little safer to deal with that big gnarly oaks.

    Martin, have you ever thought of planting a fruiting tree such as a serviceberry in the near vicinity of the cabin to enjoy as wildlife eat the berries?

    • @TheNorthwoodsman1

      When I make wildlife openings Choke and Pin Cherries and High Bush Cranberry are left. Berry's in the cabin yard are a no-no.
