That's cool that you have one of those old jars and it still has the glass lid. Here in NZ I have one antique coloured glass jar which still has the original glass lid. It's a Ball brand one. It's hard to find them still with the glass lids here. Bummer about the pests eating away at your cabin each time you go there.
Looks good buddy! I’m getting ready to get mine ready for the season. I don’t go out there much in the summer because I HATE the heat. Also building a treehouse next to it, more to come on that 😮
Some people use a solution of borax sprayed on the wood to stop beetle damage. It’s relatively non toxic and inexpensive. There are home made versions and commercial versions that are more expensive. Worth looking into if you are having problems with powder post beetles.
The wood dust in your cabin may be from a sawyer beetle. If they are active and you listen you can actually hear them chewing the wood. These beetles are quite common especially in softwoods.
@@northernwoodsman they are difficult to get rid of possibly try spraying with Borax. Check with the federal natural resources forestry bug lab in Sault Ste Marie Ontario.
I use dollar tree strings of battery powered lights, they come out on holidays, etc. They last forever and have different colors. Take 4 AA batteries, run for months
@@northernwoodsman You might look into a Lucy Light? I had one, it hangs outside in day and has solar on it. About $15. I put mine on ceiling and it was pretty bright
I REALLY WISH you would set yourself up on a donation platform, like "Buy Me a Coffee", so fans and supporters of you and your channel can donate funds to help you pay for stuff that you'd like to get for your cabin or anything else covered in your videos!!!

@@northernwoodsman you can put them any place except for where your animals like if you have pets like dogs or cats you got to keep it away from them it's poison and toxic to them
check out ecoflow 600watt power station.nice alternative for about 300.00 dollars.replaces big heavy batteries and is charged by 120 volts solar and 12 volts.
Black carpenter ants, sawyer beetles, powder post beetles, carpenter bees could all be eating your cabin. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. So it goes. Hopefully they only eat the sap wood.
I know what you mean about getting to go to your office grid cabin I haven’t been to mine in a month and a half and I miss it up there in those mountains I miss the black bears and wild hogs eating the feeder corn the cubs are so beautiful and playful lol I’m going up in a week for an extended stay I’ve gotta clean up a bit there have been some storms and high winds and I’ve got to cut the grass too I’m in north GA right at the state line of Tennessee and NCarolina in the Appalachian mountains it’s called the Cohutta Wilderness in the Chattahoochee National Forest
Love this cabin very Walden By Thoreau… 💜🕊✝️🕊🕊💜✝️🕊🕯💜✝️
That would be really cool if you could capture this extreme weather you're having in Canada with the rain and and everything on video😊

@@aminutetomidnite2406 it's all part of being in the woods I guess. We'll see if I can find a solution 😬

@@appalachiancabinguy4416 heat sucks. Hate it.
Glad to see video from you man

@@vtstream Il look Into it. I have borax.
Glad you are safe and healthy! Looks like some kind beetle or even a carpenter bee. Hope it is note a termite problem.
@@bwcok7947 hopefully not thermites. With the size of the cabin they'll eat it in a few days 😅

@@DBarnim yes that's exactly it. I can hear crunching. What can I do for those?

Does berries look delicious. Glad to ear no damaged from Debby storm. I like the lights 👍

@@wanderlore8875 I have some of those, but they aren't very bright 😔
@@northernwoodsman You might look into a Lucy Light? I had one, it hangs outside in day and has solar on it. About $15. I put mine on ceiling and it was pretty bright
@@wanderlore8875 ya, solar power is ok to but I like having control. On-off
@northernwoodsman They have on off switches.
@@Doin_the_best_I_can Il look into it. They charge with the sun?
More cooking videos please! Show us your lever action rifle/shooting videos.
@@tberkoff alright, will do 😊
👍
It could be carpenter ants or wood boring beetles or termites that are making the piles of sawdust in your cabin
What is the big hook hanging outside your cabin on the log at the top used for? Or used to be used for? Thanks good video
@@darcybaker615 no idea, found it I Beleive in an old barn.

They could possibly be carpenter ants as well they c h e w through a lot of wood and they're very large
@@deborahnielens9134 I hope not but I bought ant traps.
@@northernwoodsman I use bay leaves my mother-in-law was Indian and I use it at one of my Apartments they never came back
@@deborahnielens9134 you put Bay leaves around the place?

Nice
@@D.I.Y.BUSHCRAFT glad you enjoyed
Carpenter bees probably use wd40 or pb blaster spray it in the holes
Maybe you can use DC usb,a control charger is cheap then you have DC power from your panels
@@jimfisher6942 I could, there's alot of options but I need money for all of them 🤑😂
Im in Ontario Canada southern Ontario actually. Just wondering where in our beautiful country you are?

@@vtstream hopefully they won't turn it to dust
Maybe power bank can help
@@jimfisher6942 yes, those are cool but expensive.

Carpenter bee.
