Life in an Off -Grid Cabin
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ต.ค. 2019
- For most of the last 20 years Ive lived in cabins in Alaska. Living in a remote off-grid cabin is a quiet simple way to spend your time.
Ive spent my summers at this log cabin in interior Alaska since 2015. In this video I keep the camera rolling during a typical day in early fall (2019). I get up, make a fire in the wood stove. Cook breakfast on our propane range, and get the dishes washed up using rain water I collect off of a shed roof.
I also, pick some berries and split up the evenings firewood. A little exercise with an axe and a chainsaw always makes you sleep better. Finally i fire up the coleman lantern and turn on the radio as the sun goes down. A nice way to spend a day.

This video makes me miss my husband so much. We lived our dream in a cabin in NC before he died. He used to play guitar too, and we would sing together tucked away in our own little world. It was pure bliss. That time was too short.
Cherish every moment together. ♡
awww Im sending a big hug 🤗- what a beautiful memory ❤️
So true. I didn't get to live my dream out with my wife but I did get to spend years with her. Before we get to live our end dream, she gets cancer.
My heart goes out to you. Loneliness is a horrible thing. (I know from experiece). Stay strong. ✊
You were very very lucky to have that experience though. It’ll live with you forever
I lost my beloved husband and I miss him So much. We didn't have a cabin but would have loved to.
"A few acres of timber and a good solid wood stove, that's like a 401k" Damn.... that hit so hard.
*me eating cup noodles in my tiny apartment*
- yeah bro we all about that simple life
@Queen Opp Yeah it really is!......
DUDE LIKE NO SHIT!! as I write this I am eating cupnoodles in my 134 ft2/ 12,4 m2 apartment. This just made my day!
You're like the Bob Ross of living off-grid. The music and your voice are so relaxing.
YES, THAT
I told my kids that just today!
Bingo!
LAGERTHAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Yes! Exactly!!!
I lived like this for years as a young man. I heated my lake cabin for 16 years with an old pot belly stove. I ran a trotline and picked wild blackberries. I always grew some real good smoke and made homemade wine too. Some of the best times I ever had I was flat broke.
And then you got married and since then everything went down the drain.
Am I the only one to get what this sounds like?!? 😂A country boy can survive! Country folks can survive!
But how did you keep that old 4 wheel drive running?
@@christinegreen3974 definitely not. I thought the same
Hank, is that you?
This is my 'go to' video when I want peace of mind and to gather my thoughts. I wish my husband would want to live like this -- I sure wouldn't mind giving it a whirl. What a wonderful life. I live in the city, but the city has never been in me. God bless you.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.. OLD CITY WOMAN.. TURNED MOUNTAIN GRANNY OVER 30 YRS.. NEVER GO BACK.. PEACE OF GOD REST UPON THEE ALWAYS..🙏❤👑💥💥💥
My wife and I have been feeling this way for many years. If you have the means, do it. Best wishes from Colorado.
@@calvinlotz7595 thanks for responding.
Me too!
It's super nice for 3 days. But down time to relax in the woods is only nice when you are escaping a busy life. When cutting wood and staring at trees is your life you start looking for ways to spice it up. Grass is always greener on the other side. Thats why best way is to build a bridge and migrate to the other grass when ever your side is looking grey for a day or two.
I don't know why I watch these videos. I don't even want to go camping for even one night. But it is just so peaceful and enjoyable to watch someone else do these things.
I would wager if you gave it a chance and went to a cabin away from the 'world' you would be hooked. just sayin'
I'm 62yo and raised on a dairy farm with a single wood stove in living room for warmth and a LP stove in the kitchen.
Man this takes me back to my childhood
Thank you
I tell my 11 yr, old grandson that if I can ever win the lottery that I'm going to buy a piece of land so far out in the woods that no one can find me, he just looks at me and says pappy you are not running away with out me.
LOL, Thats awesome
@@Bushradical yep the grandson tells everyone that he would rather stay with his pappy than his parents, he's been my shadow since he was able to walk.
Ideal family ties we should all strive for
Jesus Christ the way to heaven to your Father in Heaven God
@@rustybrown1835 thats a good boy you got there Rusty Brown...mentor him...guide him...instil in him the difference between right and wrong as i know you will...he will miss you when you are gone...God bless you!

Word
I retired 9 months ago. Initially, I got bored and went back to work for about a month (different job)... then quit and got a dog. Now I'm content doing very little but exercising with the pup and chillin' in the recliner.
need a housemate
I’m able to retire so I bought a truck a few years ago. Now I work if and when I want. Need a little money I run a few loads. Never happier.
Careful. Its easy to wither away after retirement for that same reason. Having responsibilies keeps us going for many years after retirement.
Not having anything to do causes our bodies to atrophy and betray us.
"Use it or lose it" after all.
This man is living my life long dream..getting away from the big city tucked away in a quiet wooded setting in a cozy cabin ..and of course especially the big yummy breakfast part...
Make your dream a reality... just do it 🙏🏿✅💯
He also has a job and lives in a house.
@@milkor. What makes you say that ? I don't know one way or the other, don't really care but with 817 Thousand Subs , He doesn't need a job . . . ..
@@sherettasharif1358 need money???? Duh???
This is the real american dream my friend.
I totally agree,everthing else they tell you is bull.. sh.....
Absolutly.
What most folks don't know is the simple life if very time consuming and not so simple.
But..
Wonderful none the less
@@RichardJohnson-cg2ix it's simple in the fact that your existence is spent ensuring your very existence and enjoying the fact that you're alive. A life of work in self sufficiency is a life enjoyed and well spent. Not having to be anywhere by any certain time and not having to answer to anyone but yourself and your creator is how we were intended to be. We are the most complicated of mammals, unnecessarily.
Not really. He doesn't grow his own food
Totaly agree with you dude...okay..what a great Lifestyle
Wealth is best determined by the number of things you don't need.
Profound. I imply emphasis on "need". Thank you.
the more you know, the less you need.
@@izzimichaels2892 One could also say that the more you need the less you know.
"The true meaning of wealth is not having more, but needing less." - Capt. John
@nidaliti I take the same approach to women. You will be a much wealthier man in many aspects of life (not just financial) by either having a woman who "needs" less or simply not having one at all:) Lower maintenance doesn't just apply to houses and cars.
I've never seen anyone split firewood without taking it out of the pile like you did. Just from the way you handle that axe I can tell you've been doing this for years, if not decades.
I literally said to myself, out loud mind you, "This guy knows how to handle that axe!"
Dave and Kyle from Kyle's cabin both can handle them access pretty darn good cutting all that wood
Axes darn typos
Dave: _peacefully picking wild cranberries_
Forest: _u n h o l y s o u n d s_
His neighbor's sled dogs.
Or Bigfoot
One day spent like that is worth a million days in the modern world
Just watching this makes me feel comfortable
April Boy Lomenario me true, lots happening in life
Lol thought the same thing cant beat it
i AGREE 100%
April Boy Lomenario it be really nice a smaller than small cabin in the woods. A short cabin with a tiny fireplace and a small kitchen and small bathroom and when the winter comes, you get to sit by the window with tea and watch the snow during the darker hours of the day. Aaaaaaah. I imagine country life of much better than city life.
April Boy, I know right 🛀.
I can't begin to tell you what solace I've found in these videos through the craziness of the pandemic. I suddenly found myself nursing in a Covid field hospital here in Europe and for a while at the beginning I was worried I'd never make it home. I'd go back to the staff accommodation and watch these and immerse myself in another life. Your narration is a joy, your voice has the most reassuring quality and the content you make is just beautiful. I'd put these videos on for my patients who were interested in the outdoors and I honestly credit you with the turnabout we saw in one particular patient who was truly on death's door for a while but ultimately walked out of that hospital under his own steam. Thank you for what you do, for sharing your extraordinary life, being so encouraging and helping us to see how achieving something like this is possible. I can't wait to have something similar one day, perhaps somewhere here in France or perhaps in the far north of Scotland like I've dreamed.
Wow
I'm not religious but I'll be honest, it made me smile seeing you say grace before breakfast.
Same here. Also, we can be grateful and reflective without being religious, just a thought.
Thanks
I need hope. Jesus is hope. I can't help bowing my head in simple relief and gratefulnes.
Now THATS what being a Christian is all about! Letting your light shine! Not judging and preaching! ❤️✌🏻😊
@@davidb6606 Religion is totally separate from being a Christian! ❤️😊👏🏻👍 Christ was NOT FOR RELIGION AND certainly not judgement! ✌🏻 Amen! I agree!
My dad had us living like this when I was little..he was a brilliant man and though I hated it when I was a kid because we were different..I love him all the more for it now if that makes any sense..He struggled with so many demons and Alcohol was the main one but this way of life kept him in line and I understand that now!
@Margie Herrera And one of these days we will end up having no choice but to live as this guy and your father did. They are the ones that people like me look up to.
When I started watching The Walking dead it wasn't until the 2nd season that I had an a-ha moment. Most of us will starve and freeze to death because we don't know how to grow our own food, live off grid, and cure ourselves with natural items. Maybe it's meant to be that way to make us appreciate people like your father. So hats off to your father and people like them. I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
Cool....
@@twoplustwo07 zombies dont exist man!!! Calm down
@Margie Herrera My heart goes out to you Margie. I can relate to you, as that was the way I was raised as well. My mother got up early in the morning to build a fire to heat our water so we could bathe before going to school. She too, had demons to deal with as well. Now I feel I appreciate things more as an adult.
Margie Herrera you had a great dad
There is something so inherently human and nostalgic about making a fire.
well said
I imagine this may have been like how my mom lived on a a ranch in the 50s. They didn't always have electricity or running water. Watching these videos is so relaxing. I realized why I like camping so much, you inspire me to buy some land, even a 1/2 acre would do and build something on it one day.
Buy your land asap and get at least 5 acres.
I wish i can make this too. Here in germany we have so many restrictions... I think even to fall a tree we have to ask the county or something else. You would not belive how many freedom we not have here...
@@tatlises51 Marxist Run Your Country ...sorry my friend
Felt like I was there with you, Dave. Thanks for letting us see how good it can be to own a couple acres of timber and a wood stove.
I don't know how i got here, but this is just so relaxing lol
Thanks
the strumming guitar helps....
I agree. Live just outside D.C. in Virginia. Have a major international airport pretty much in my backyard. Always constant noise of suburbia. This seems like the perfect solution. No one around except for my dog, and fresh air.
RyanH_SD 82 What?
This video made me cringe.
love how you pray before you eat...a blessed man
Thanks
Same here Ruth. How are you doing with your family I hope you’re safe from the virus?
removing the full stops..
love how you pray before eating a blessed man
@@chrislorenzo7883 there is no virus
@@pkrockin3923 what do you mean?
Dang, this guy keeps the carpenter's pencil in his hat at all times just in case some uncut wood acts out. What a great way to live.
The fact that you gave thanks before eating says a lot. Gratitude for what we have been blessed with is so important. God bless.
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness of Bushradical’s wood chopping and splitting skills.
Thanks LOL
That must be a hella sharp axe :)
O-KAYYYY!!!💪🏿✅💯
@@primalfury2011 hella dry wood
The river bank is a great place for serious conversations. Whatever is said, the water will carry it away. And in the forest, any word can fall into the ground and germinate years later.
I agree with him, "it's not so much what you get outta life, it's how you live it!" 😊
I’m impressed with everything he does, including giving the Lord thanks by blessing his food.
I noticed that too
I would say that giving thanks to the Lord is THE most impressive thing that he did in my opinion. Because it seems he recognizes that all his freedom and abilities are God given. I believe that too few people realize that nowadays unfortunately.
PERIOD!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💯
So peaceful. You and Brooke's videos are so much more enjoyable to watch than -- well, nearly all other videos. Thanks for sharing part of your life with us.
Sometimes I want to build a cabin in the middle of nowhere then smash my phone against a rock then live out there for the rest of my life.
me too
@Concerned Citizen I love my country.
you wouldn't last 5 minuets also try self control
xvc918x Smashing your phone represents good control...
LOL, I was just about to say that. Damned phones are nothing but over-glorified tracking devices.
I've been trying to put my baby to sleep for a few hours now. After I turned your video on, he settled down and quietly watched it till he fell asleep. 😊
my 4 yr old grandson loves these video's. They are calming.
@Ronan Barthon 🤣🤣🤣 I have to try that for my cat!
This is the way we are all meant to live and will do one day. Huge respect at what you do. You are right, it's in our DNA to create and build. It reflects our own creator. Well done! I will keep watching these vids to learn fro you.
Well said, and me too 🙏🏿💪🏿✌🏿💯
A lot of peoples dna must have gotten messed up then, because it seems many are more inclined to take and destroy.
I agree. Huge respect to you and Brooke. (I've never seen anyone put salt in their tea.... )
****Dave, that was such a peaceful video. I enjoyed hearing you play the guitar. The shots of the red low bush cranberries growing in a bed of green...the fallen leaves resting on a pine branch...watching the smoke rising from the chimney...God has blessed you both! But you two have been good stewards of the resources he has given you. God is so good! Keep on being radical, ayy!
At 53yo, this is all I dream about, I envy the folks who get to enjoy this life style!!
Its always a good time to start
I feel so peaceful. I don't know why..but i just love to watch this kind of living style
It looks like an awful lot of work to me.
Seen all these videos before but I love rewatching them. Brings me so much peace I truly wish we could all just live a little more simple lives. Although building cabins is hard work, I wish I had the knowledge to be able to achieve this myself.
Love your videos & your wife’s videos as well.
Best life ever. I pray God gives me the time to do this on our 22 acres. Love you for posting this. The simplicity and beauty of this is my dream. Thank you
I’ve never been so envious of someone’s ax wielding skills.
It's all fun and games until this guy pops out an axe
It's a splitting maul, not an axe.
Thanks.....and to clear up the other comments.....it IS an axe not a maul. And, I keep it very dull. There is no need at all to split with a sharp axe. ( or to keep an axe sharp in order to split wood)
rahsaun77 very efficient he was
I will admit I got a little nervous with him chopping the axe right into his hand
“After breakfast it’s time to do the dishes”
*throws plate into the fire*

Absolutely perfect life 😂

@@ricardoestrada1176 simp
Ricardo Estrada thank you same to you😊😊
😆😆😆😆
Kyles Cabin up in Ely Minnesota told me about your channel and I am glad he did. Thank Kyle and Sierra!!!
What a tranquil life! The background music, the crackling of the logs and your lifestyle captured on camera are incredibly soothing.
Nothing better than a lazy morning sitting around the cabin making breakfast....thanks for sharing. Enjoy your Small Cabin Living...We do
I don't know why i smiled when you said a little prayer before you had your breakfast. This is beautiful
And JESUS said it doesn't need to be a long drawn out prayer . It's so simple,
I realized I was smiling too. 🙏😊🙏
The 1000+ down votes must have come from the atheists, vegans, and tree huggers.
I have seen this vid before bit the peace it brings is incredible. This is life.
This is like Alaskan ASMR... ❤️
So nice to see someone saying grace before their meal... May God bless you and yours...
I agree Mr.Hartley!!!
Also when harvesting. A thanks.
Olá boa tarde
Yes! It warmed my heart.This man loves nature and loves God. Thank you for sharing,
Danke, das Tischgebet hat mich sehr bewegt!
Love the prayer before eating. Solid
Thanks
A good prayer is good for soul..
I got alot respect this man he is HUMBLE n down to earth
Oh hell no he strums a tune too? Loving this story! Take me back 20 years and this is my life all over!
Categories of people on this earth: the rich, the poor, the FREE, the slave, the bound.
Blessed are those that see.
you forgot your category the dumbfuck lol
Blessed indeed. You, I and the entire nation belong to the _bound_ category. It is sad you have not realized it yet.
That’s as close to heaven as we can get on earth I believe. Thank you for all the great videos Dave.
The music with the rain is perfect. Relaxing
“In my opinion a few acres of timber and a solid wood stove, it’s like a 401k it’s like money in the bank” - well said!
try and eat all that (wood) lol 3 acres of food is better
@@mrcapitalqbarns5747 try cooking without the 3 acres of wood.
@This Guy You enjoy what God the Creator has given you. The most beautiful sight l ever saw was a star-filled night in the Mohave Desert and that was during AT@ Ft. Irwin CA. Stop the rat race sometimes to "smell the flowers". 😊😊😊😊
@This Guy He cuts firewood
@@johnboddie6826 I'd smell the flowers alright. Lol I'd grow little something somthin and go fishing every day until snow hit then I'd be hunting. I'd guarantee this guy up there, that I'd find more to do in a place like this over any big city in America or world for that matter. The city life is shit...
Amazing, so simple and natural, feels like the way we are meant to be living, I loved so much after you cooked your breakfast, before you ate you prayed.. So perfect.
Thanks
the paper plate was a real disappointment
@@michaeldreher3853 But he is just showing you his day, it isn't like the instagram fake vids, he uses paper and probably burns it in the fire when he is finished, probably if his family were with him he would use his enamel plates, but just for himself it made a simple clean up.. He did so well cooking his breakfast and chopping his wood, cut him some slack 😁 try and just enjoy a glimpse of his day, he isn't fake like so many, he doesn't pretend to be anything other than himself, he is just sharing his piece of getting back to nature.. Just try to watch and enjoy, like a switch off and relax time.. all the sounds of nature and you can almost smell the fire.. 😁 everyone has their own ways, and that is ok...
@Ladarion johnson Nope, loving God isn't gay and he is married with children, so wrong again..
It's always good to give thanks for what God has given to us.He's very grateful
A good rule of thumb my big bro taught me... when you think you have enough fire wood for the night/morning, double it... it hasn't let me down so far.
Another superb video. I'm far too old to do it now myself [72] but it's great having a small window into you living the life for me. Thank you, Dave.
Thx soo much i am 17 years old and already know that i dont want to live like every one else i am from holland where a pice of lawn is too expensive i think i ll work to have inough mony to travel and live out of holland this video helpt me soo much this is my dream ! amen 🙏🏼
i am 18 🇵🇭 but can't afford the land to live
Emmanuel Zamora same for me work live with your parents and move out of the place get a old farm distruct every thing live there in a self build house 💪🏻
just a reminder my buddy. Travelling won't fix any personal issues. I say that to you from experience. enjoy life.
Ιlias Theodore Skordas yeah iknow man i know u cant run a way from problems a frend of me has bin in vancouver for a girl it didnt work and he is on the streets now back in holland lost avery thing but bled he came back so good peeps can help him out 😁
@@Zamora7 I'm 53 and can't afford any land either! Best advice I can give you youngsters is to get some good job training, nursing, plumbing, carpentry - if you have a solid trade, you can always find work, unlike many office jobs where you sit at a keyboard everyday until you find out your job has been outsourced.
People will always need people to fix the plumbing, build a house, look after them when they get sick.
Save your money (NO joint accounts!) and someday you will have enough to buy a bit of land somewhere. Look outside your home country, too. It might be cheaper.
Log-fire, a glass of bourbon, and listen to the radio, the wind/rain. Amazing indeed.
Thanks
2023 is here.. still lovin this video !!! Hello Dave and Brooke !!!
I said to myself, I’m not watching almost 18 minutes of this but I did!! And loved every minute of it. Thanks for the video
What a simple way of living. I remember as a kid staying at a relatives place that was off grid, wood cook stove, lanterns, an old claw foot tub. Brings back awesome memories. Thanks Dave, this is what life should be like.
Thanks MG
And did you spot how he even more simplified his dish-washing by using a paper plate on top of the regular plate? "Damn that dish washing, I will slimplify it! *throws plate into the fire place * done!" :D
I would love to live that life style. So simple!! Good to see someone giving thanks for his delicious breakfast which looked amazingly good!!!!
Thanks
@@Bushradical how much did this setup cost you?
This guy is that dude!! I thought I was good at camping life and living in the woods this guy I envy this guy would have thrived anywhere anytime . So much respect
I would love to live this way so peaceful and stress free.
The more you know, the less you need.
Thanks
You could kind of say the MORE people know the more people think they need really
Very nice.
Ithink not before time we are realizing less is more all you need is food,warmth,and shelter.
@@charleswebster2682 and the internet!
I honestly believe man was meant to live with nature, not against it, why so many of us feel so relaxed and at peace when watching videos like this or camping ourselves. We weren't meant to be isolated from nature, but to be part of it. I wish beyond wishing that I had the money for a camp, I would spend so much time there. We had one shared among extended family years ago but sold off as it wasnt used enough... no one could value how much I wished I had it back, I would almost live out there.
where was it
I love that you said you wish beyond wishing... I know you are a kind soul, and you raise a good idea: communal camps! A group of folks wanting to slow their roll go and buy land to use as such. Not a new plan, but a damn good one. Like timeshares for the rest of us. All I know is the less I have, the happier I am. This much is true. So it goes...
The eyes of man are never satisfied
Shitting in an outhouse minus 40 cold with a wolf pack waiting you out...
You Can...........Only the Dreamer can change the Dream. Become the Master of your own Destiny not a Slave to your Fears!
God Bless You Sir. I've watched this vid several times. Every time life in the rat race gets to be a bit much, I "get away" vicariously, through your experiences.
Patrick D check out Eric Grankvist. It’s so relaxing.
This is rekindling my dream of living like this, owning my own land, building my own cabin and working with what I have available around me. For me this lifestyle is luxury, this is the lifestyle for me.
this is one of my favorite YT videos, i have watched it several times. the music, the sound of the bacon and eggs cooking, the butter, the simplicity of it all.
Thanks
This guy is bad ass.
I love his life style. So simple.
Thanks
I need tv at least basic channels y'all. 😹😹
@DAVE ADAM ....LOL. You dont have a clue..LOL I dont do yoga, I have ZERO hippy in me, I do all my own mechanic work, poor concrete and build log cabins for a living and spend my time Pike fishin in the Alaskan bush.....I'm not into ZEN, or oneness or any other hippy dippy garbage. You OBVIOUSLY havent watched this channel before. LOL
Bush radical you missed Dave Adams point...you are Zen but without knowing it which makes you even more Zen lol
Bushradical name of song plade on the guitar
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this video….each time, it just reinforces my resolve to get out and DO something rather than just fantasizing. I turn 49 next month, not getting any younger….and this helps get past the mental block of “can I do it”? Of course I can…..might not be perfect, but who’s judging?
67 and building a 16x32 now. Roof has sheathing. Working to finish porch. You can do it if you make the time and priority.
I enjoy watching your videos especially when you pray for your food and give thanks to God. You sometimes do things differently than I would do but that is ok!! You will always find people who have nothing to do but complain and be negative. Keep up the good work!!
I think my blood pressure went down just watching this video. Thanks for posting.
"A wood stove is like money at the bank" so true, simple life is like money in your pocket!
You know it.
Two I have real cheap in northwest Pa if anyone needs
Having no wife IS money at the bank!!
Watching you guys from Perth Western Australia.
You guys totally rock and you have taught me so much. I am grateful I stumbled across you guys.
Watching you make that big breakfast made me SO hungry.
Hey Dave....... much respect to you and Brooke Sir. I have watched you both for years but never have commented until today. That was awesome and I really enjoyed this. It brought that primal satisfaction that like-minded folks like us long for everyday. To see you give thanks to the Provider before your meal though, is what prompted me to comment today and say...... much respect Sir, much respect.
Thank you Len
"I like the freedom of wood". I couldn't agree with you more!
A beautiful lifestyle indeed. I loved hearing the wolves howling while you picked the berries. And there's nothing like an evening by the fire, relaxing after a busy day. Really nice video. I love the outdoors too.
Good morning aww breakfast looks yummy 😋
Interesting, never seen anyone put salt in their tea.
Keeps it from being bitter
Works for coffee also.
Said the same thing
It's called salt butter tea
Even coffee tastes better .
In my opinion, a few acres of timber and a good solid wood stove is like a 401k... lol.. maybe even better because you don’t have the stress of working for someone else. Loved that quote!
Fenwick
I am always in shock wenn my in-laws cut trees and just burn them right there in he garden. What a waist
Yeap, the bacon, the eggs, the bread and the butter just walks in from the outside into your stove !
Better than 401k as it does not disappear over night based on speculation.
you are a very special man... hard working loving husband and father with so many skills also playing the guitar so beautifully...so awesome. The world needs more men like you.
Although over a year old, you and your wife's videos never seem to bore me. Years ago (my son was about 7) he/his friends thought his mom was so cool :because she uses power tools", lol anyway, although I'm not physically able to build my dream cottage with the magic of a wood burner, I live vicariously through the two of you. You're a great inspiration and I thank you so very much
We live like this all my life in the mountains of south eastern Kentucky my husband and me play music he splits wood too the simple life is s good life but it gets harder when you get older have a good life sir
Thanks Carolyn
Girl, us too, and it does get so so much harder. Them cold mornings are so painful on old bones.
Carolyn, Bush, and @@pinkyvdt I know there's no guarantees on caring in this life but, am hoping one day I have children I cared and I teach them to care about me and the little I'd accumulated over the years for them to pick up after me in peace, not in war, and continue living using my things and my path. It's being hard to find a girl able to be willing to live a simple life at my side but, I hope. If not, maybe a generous Tenant or a good friend or neighbor may help me when I can not do it all on my own.
Husband and I.😊
Can I come visit I’m from New York and would to experience that kind of life .
Good video. Shows one man’s efforts to minimize his needs and live in contentment.
One of the best videos on TH-cam
With a voice like that, I picture you narrating hunting videos!! Love the channel, and the work you do. Y’all stay safe out there 🙏🤙
God bless you. So nice the praying moment before your breakfast. Greetings from Spain.
greetings Spain!!
You had me when you said, "a few acres of timber and a good wood stove..." My grandparents who were hard working farmers, raised me in the mountains of Alabama. I went to school everyday with the cologne on my clothes of an ashley wood stove. You will not find 10 year olds with calloused hands these days like I had. I want to get back to that life one day, right now for me at 45 its a business world, but I am day dreaming and hopefully soon I can start that journey.
You got my subscription and Roll Tide!
Thanks Adam!
Don't wait to long square away every penny u can. Before u know something comes up and u will be to old, too sick, someone to support whatever & u r stuck in the city for ever. Good luck

@@kikearevalo8024 thats awesome Kike. Roll Tide!
Perfect voice for this.
I think this is one of my favorites. I've watched it to many time to count. So peaceful 😌
That wood cutting is so satisfying I’ve never been that accurate
Dwayne Mondragon only takes a few days in a row to get really good at it. Its harder if you only do it every few months, at least for me. Youll also pick it back up pretty quickly once you have had it down before.
Alex Crowder,
It also help to have nice, dry wood like he had too.
@@maiingan07 and a sharp axe too.
Best part of this video is:
He pray first before he eats 🙏🙏❤️❤️
You're living the dream my friend.
I envy you!
The smile on my face when I seen you pray before you began eating. Man,you hardly see that anymore it seems. May God bless you and may God bless anyone who sees this.
Finally a guy who knows how to handle a ax on TH-cam!
No, he doesn't.
@@jcs6206 He manged to cut the wood for his fire didn't he? How good he is is irrelevant and his skills are more than adequate to get the job done. Tell me why do you feel the need to be the greatest ax man alive when all you need is to cut enough wood to keep the fire going in your place
Between holding the wood with his hand while chopping inside,
and swinging that axe in all directions outside.
I would say no he doesn’t.
@@edrodrigues3333 Every man has to know his limitations Ed! He has probably been cutting wood for years which has built of his confidence on how to handle a AX, Hatchet, Chainsaw etc. Maybe a disclaimer should have been posted.....Don't try this at Home!

Sorry it’s very dangerous what he’s doing, and not if, but when he
hurts himself, being along way from help makes it even worse.
Obviously was trying to show off for the camera, you would never see
a professional pull these stunts.
