    Had to run the video back a couple of times......thought you said (Jameson). Brought back some good memories. ..................................................My best friend, Cliff and I married girls who grew up 40 from where we were. The girls were best friends. We got married about the same time and for 40 years we did everything together. Usually would go out to eat on Friday or Saturday and out to eat after church on Sunday. Cliff, his wife Lois and daughter we’re planning a trip to Ireland but Lois passing away 4 months before they were to leave on there trip. One night when my wife and I went out to eat with Cliff he ask use if we would go with him and his daughter. I had NEVER ever thought about going to Ireland but said yes without thinking twice, we were all hurting and I felt sorry for him. He always talked about his family coming for Ireland and had roots to a guy who made whiskey. Cliffs last name was (Jameson). We went to the brewery ....interesting...............we don’t drink!!!!!!! We had a great time. His daughter got married in June and my wife was the honorary mother....and me..... I had to wear a tux. Now whenever I see a bottle of Jameson Whiskey I think of all the good times we have spent together.

But in reading history, in the spring folks would be running into the woods to get greens to eat as they hadn't had them all winter. So I'm guessing no on the greenhouse use on the frontier. They did have 'root cellars' where root plants kept well all winter. Vonnie

You capture some awesome nature with your camera. You sure have built a beautiful place there in the woods. There's nothing like being out alone with the animals and the trees and just enjoying the natural beauty that God gave us. Just curious what did you do before you retired cause you seem to be so resourceful with all you do around your place. Keep up the good work on your videos they're great.

    Last time Jim was at the cabin, he was sitting in shadow and I mentioned in a comment, that at that time that he resembled my deceased father, also named Jim. I sent the pic on to my sister, asking her opinion. She agreed that he looked somewhat like Dad. That was the last communication that I had with her - she died unexpectedly 2 days later. Today I do not see that resemblance to my dad. But it sure is nice to see your friend and partner up there with you, to help with some of the work, even if it does require Vonnie's World Famous Trail Cherry Pies to get it done! And the smell and taste of fresh fried bacon on a cool autumn day! As always, stay safe.

    At approximately 1:30 seconds as you say: "He said to me...", I notice someone or something walking through a gap in the trees out the window. I played it back 2 dozen times and enlarged it.
    1. The image is of a solid two legged being that crosses a gap of about 12 feet in 2 to 2.5 steps.
    2. Also two small trees are shaken as the being reaches the completion of the open gap at 1:35 seconds.
    3. The being also seems to descend downward with the first step as if to have been stepping into a portion of uneven ground at 1:32 seconds.
    At 1:38 to 1:40 + the wind seems to blow causing movement of the smaller bushes and trees across the gap, however the same being or thing crosses yet again in the opposite direction it originally came from.
    BTW.....I'm the viewer who remarked last year or so "For those who are wondering, NO HE HASN'T SEEN BIG FOOT."
    I do however believe a human being may have been caught on your camera moving around just out of the yard area of your cabin. Once again the movement of wind blown bushes and small trees is not what I observed, judging from the sun shine on the trees around the area I've mentioned I would say the being/person was wearing gray in color to dark brown fabric. As the light reflects off of them similarly to the reflection off the trees, which has a dark or gray in color bark.
    Loved the video and this is the first time I've noticed any kind of anomaly in 2+ years or more of watching your channel.
    Stay safe and be well.

    Yes I love your videos. So calm and peaceful inside and outside your cabin. Looks like fun there. But also a lot of work. You keep it up so well. And I know you do a lot of work there. Then you can always eat one of Vonnie’s cherry pies after the work is done. Yum!!Thank you for sharing your cabin life with us. 😊

    Thank God none of those trees hit the cabin. I wish I cut a old mower to mow weeds like you done. I always use a weed eater with a blade on it. It was so slow and took hours to cut the weeds down.

    Ah, Mr. Jameson. I know him well, he's a very good & kind friend. So good to see you Martin, and another of the "long-timers" too! I was going to comment how you wouldn't have to worry about firewood for some time to come but you said it already lol. That must 've been one heckuva blow! Thanks for sharing, stay safe and warm out there.

    Excellent to have you back home so we can see how your fall trip went. Micro down burst wind taking trees down, unexpected work glad the Cabin was ok. Nice invention trail mower, careful not to shorten your shoe size. Just great to see everything again, I really like the grey jays and the spruce grouse as well. In fact all the wildlife there, except maybe the bears. I enjoy your cooking sections too, guess it doesn't take much to entertain me, ha ha. I've never seen the northern lights in the sky, maybe you could try and film them sometime. Anyway, thanks for the update, looking forward to watching the next in the series. God Bless!

    Canada or Gray Jays? Those trees on their backs with those massive root balls is a testament to just how Powerful God is. It would take man days with massive machinery to take out those root balls, yet we see them pulled CLEANLY out of the ground with great depth. It's a wow factor.

    Always enjoy your videos. Just watched this episode after getting back from my cabin in Colorado's Arapaho National Forest for the summer. The last few days I have had a grey jay that would come in for some bread and cereal. first time I have seen one. Didn't get him to eat from my hand, but if it leads to hand feeding a grey jim bacon from my hand, forget it. I'm not sharing my bacon.
