- There's much to be said about building your own cabin in the wilderness and the feelings surrounding it and the land it sits on. I try to convey those feelings in this video. I wish you all could see this place. Feel it. Smell it. Hear the absolute silence that envelops you.
My steps get slower. I can hear my blood coursing through my veins. There is total and complete lack of stress. The world drifts away.
I hope you enjoy this immersive trip to one of my favorite places in the whole world: My cabin.
PS; Who knew I'd find that on my trail cam? The great dancing, pooping otters! No wonder I can't catch any fish in this river~
Watch me build this cabin:

I hope you laughed as hard as I did at the dancing, pooping otters. I swear- every single shot captured one of them backing up to the camera! Hahah good stuff. I didn't even include the other trail cam footage so as not to upstage the otters. No doubt they're eating every fish in the river! Danggg. Thanks for watching. These long videos are always a mystery to me if people will watch that long. My goal is to give you a relaxing place to park your mind for a while. A virtual escape in a mad, mad world. I appreciate each and every one of you!
PS Maysie is fine- she's retired. Too old for adventuring. She did just take out a coon that got in the house (cat door I suppose) so she is still defending the homeland- savage as ever! LONG LIVE DA WOOF!
I did laugh. It's like the otter equivalent to the human toddler pee-pee dance.
Loved it Brooke thanks I'm sure we all needed it 😊
I guess that's what you get for placing your camera in an otter outhouse.😅
Love having a long video. Relaxing and good vibes to help with a good night's sleep. Watching Otters pooping was different. Lol. Love ya.
Thank you for helping me escape for a bit. Caring for my husband who has stage 4 cancer is emotionally draining and you help me recharge! Sincerely grateful that you help a total stranger navigate another evening.
I love seeing your respect for the trees. My mom suffered from dementia the last 8 years of her life & one of her favorite things to do was to take walks through the parks & hug the trees. She would literally ask me to stop the car at times so she could get out & hug a large tree. Her love of trees is imbedded in my soul. She was literally a tree hugger & had been her entire life. It was one thing she remembered after her dementia & it was so wonderful to watch her light up, just like she did in her early years. Thank you for bringing this memory back to me, Brooke. I had so much nostalgia watching this video. So much so, in fact, that I am going to take a trip to one of her favorite parks this afternoon & hug one of her favorite trees. ❤🌳🌲
My mom had dementia the last 6 years of her life. It was odd..she loved trees and planted many on her yard but when she got dementia she was afraid of trees. If I took her for rides she would freak out if we went through a wooded area.
@@carolechenowith900 We both definitely had a different experience with our mothers & their love of trees, didn’t we? May they both rest in peace❤️
Tu puedes pones sudtitulos en español???
love it. thanks for sharing :)
My mother has dementia now and I’ve been taking care of her for 8 years literally alone, day by day she can’t remember anything short term , but when the swans and loons fly in and on the lake it’s amazing watching her and listening to her almost chip, it’s so hard to do this alone for so long without a day off but watching her like that looking over the lake makes my heart happy, God Bless you caregivers out there, I have so much respect where I never thought about it before🙏❤️
Zooming Moosies and dancing otters, oh my! Always good times in the woods with Brooke 😄
The pooping otters deserve a show of their own! I have never seen anything as focused on that bodily function as those guys! Moose steals my heart every single time, he is awesome. ❤
bahahah i knowww
And now we know Otters don’t relieve themselves in the water! Fascinating!
Moosie is like carbonated joy and energy when he gets to zooming. He’s easily egged on by his mama. The sights, sounds, smells , tastes, “ all the things” seemed to waft thru my screen. So felt like being there with y’all. THANK YOU, B!!!!!!!! Love these long ones too!!
awesome thanks Billie! yeah he is definitely triggered by my words and actions. Poor guy when I'm editing my ending - he goes crazy!
@@therealgirlinthewoods Moose needs to have a playdate with Rocko from Foresty Forest😉
I Absolutely Love the Long The Videos 😍 Also 💯
@@tammycruz8189 Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊. I just moved to the countryside 🏡!
Moose's zoomies were just as great as the otters
Thank you so much for this. I'm a Yooper who lives away from home, and my heart physically hurts sometimes with missing it. Your videos give me some respite. They help me feel at peace. I can smell crisp air in my mind. And yes...the water is perfect! The tannin-colored streams are pure beauty!! Thank you for making me heart feel full.
Awesome otter fun, they are so playful! Good to see y’all, very, very d.e.l.i.g.h.t.f.u.l seeing you and the Moose; I do miss Maysie, bless her sweet puppy soul!❤
Hi Brooke I share your passion for nature. If only more people would relize how good it is for you to walk in a forest and totally absorbe what nature has to ofer you it is such a healthy healing experience. Take care.
so true thanks Clara
I'm sure many people would love to, but for fear of what maybe roaming out there, in some areas. Mousey is super cute ❤
@@jt0774 I roam a lot! Hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊. I just moved to the countryside 🏡!
Ok calm down
It has saved my life!
Brooke, Dave and Mick all in one evening. Great viewing. And it is raining in Ohio. Yeah.
RAIN!!! yes
In Ohio here too. The rain was glorious!
Moose is a friendly lively and swell little doggie! Hope you can help him be able to stand and lay closer to the lit campfire pit. Your giant trees are a real wonder, I agree. Gee, that Otter group was amazing! Nice to have those trail cams at your cabin areas. Thanks for sharing all the fun with us via this great site!
thanks for watching!
Moosie hiding behind Brooke but eventually he takes the steak from her hand. Good Job Moosie!
Loved this video! The walks in the woods, finding chaga, the campfire and your steak supper..all was wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed it
You give me such peace watching your videos... lowers my blood pressure and I learn from you. Thank you 💗
awesome
😄 that was funny when moose fell off the log into the water! 😆
Moose may not like the smoke smell of the fire. Beautiful camping experience 🦅 God bless you Brooke 🕊
The otters are AWESOME!! ❤
i knowwww
Great video, Brooke! I felt like I was right there with you enjoying your little piece of paradise!. Moosie is a hoot! This was a great way to enjoy a quiet Sunday afternoon!
Oh my mercy!! What a wonderful way to start my Monday😊
The otters wer0e just precious 😮😂😅😊
You truley made my week!!
As always, your video warms my very soul and gets my whole week started in the right direction.
Thank you so much for always being so kind and giving.
Blessings to you and the family 🙏🕊🙏♥️💜❣️
THAT was so much fun.
The star of the video was definitely on his game. His zoomies were perfection.
I love old big trees. I like to imagine what they have seen in their lifespan.
What a great time to be in the woods. And those weirdo mushrooms. I grew up in rural Indiana and saw many muchrooms, but never those. Wow.
And the otters! How entertaining animals they are.
Thanks for taking us along.
And Thanks Moose for the special entertainment.
The paint on your cabin looks just as good and vibrant as the day you finished building it. 💫
One can never have too much butter and sour cream, especially on baked potatoes. 🐄
So true!
I really enjoyed hanging out with you and the Moose. A great video.. Thank you Brooke for keeping it real.
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the "cabin openers"!(now,I have another one to REPEATEDLY watch😉🥰)
Brooke,if you'll 'drag over' a fallen(or cut) tree 'top' and cover your "apple tree"..it will keep them safe from deer,while..as the decompose they'll fertilize the sablings😊 (my husband's people are all loggers,select cut ONLY..they leave the "tops" for this exact reason(to protect saplings)...you probably already know this but..just in case😉
THANKS FOR SHARING💕
Also,EXCITED TO SEE ALASKA and how well (and far) your "yungin" is progressing on his "adventure" (yep,I subscribed to his channel and I'm watching his videos😊)
GOD BLESS YOU AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY🙏🥰
Beauty, butter, steak, wind soughing in the trees, pooping otters, rambling walk... Love your gratitude to God. Classic Brooke! Love it :) Thanks so much!
Such a beautiful video. The puppy has gotten bigger and is adorable. He's a cuddle puppy. Thanks, Brooke😊
"forever puppy" as my hubby says. i'm beginning to act like a pocket pound lady
Yep
Nothing, like watching Moose with the zoomies, brings a big smile to your face!😃😆😃
I miss my adventure dog, Greta. She's been gone 2 years. I can't get another so i venture alone now - well, just the Lord & me so that's a huge blessing. Beautiful vid, and what a beautiful before-dinner prayer. Thankyou so, SO, much...
Zoomies, love it when pups get happy 😊 the otters 🦦 are so cute good capture 😊
The little dog has the cutest ears
Very large. 😁
That’s Moose!
I cannot express how envious of you I am. Also so inspired to enjoy my camping trips even more 💕
Me tooo!
Hey Brooke,
Those otters! So cool watching them. The A-frame looks like it's in great shape. Moose and the zoomies... always cracks me up. Great video. Take care and be safe. See you next time.
The otters were hilarious! Moosie reminds me of our pup Snoopy. How was a dachshund/beagle mix (we also have mom and dad). Unfortunately we lost him to IVDD on 6/1…14 days shy of his 5th birthday. He would get the zoomies all the time!
I've missed the cooking videos! They encourage me to do it as well. Thank you Brooke for sharing. Tell us a story while you cook like what Dave does. Love hearing y'all's stories. Have fun in the UP.
Always enjoy the beauty around this cabin. It’s so peaceful.
Hi Brooke and moose ,welcome back to the A cabin ,great shot of the Otters enjoying the snow,moose is having a ball but he wants nothing to do with the fire, dinner looks delicious, well done for me lol thanks for sharing stay blessed ❤
Moose is just the happiest, sillest guy! Love watching him...and you, too, Brooke. 😊
Your life is what I imagine heaven will be like. I hope I get a little cabin in the woods with a dog when I get to heaven.
Me, too! Except I would have a herd of cats.
LOL
I rarely comment…. But I do love your videos especially the ones out in the woods with the puppies, good fire and a terrific meal!❤
Thank you very much!
@@therealgirlinthewoods ❤️
OMG you are so great! The otter jam was hilarious. I can imagine the dance nation partying to otter pop! I just wanna clap clap turn around turn around dance dance. Or is it crap crap? Either way it’s number one on my charts! 😂
I love your positivity and how thankful you are for everything big and little. Being thankful for the little things in life is what makes a happy person. Thanks for the reminder
Love the sereneness of your cabin. A good place to relax and unwind. Those otters were cute - they got their 15 minutes of fame!
Love this video, Brooke! And Moose is such a joyful companion! I smile every time he gets the zoomies! I love the way you love your animals! Thanks for sharing all that you do. Blessings to you and your family, always!
I miss Maisie so much ,what a wonderful dog, glad that she is ok. Love your adventures, great to see what you get up to next.X💕🏴
Brooke, I love longer videos. It is a joy to see God's creation, spend some time with you, and praise our Lord! I loved your prayer. Lord may all that was spoken by your daughter Brooke be fulfilled. I watched it a 2nd time with my eyes closed. I have always loved the "tea colored" water and crunch sounds of walking through the woods. God bless you and your family. I pray the Lord blesses you all mightily!
Isaiah 25:1 NKJV
O Lord, You are my God.
I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
For You have done wonderful things;
Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Love in Christ, ~John
Great shots of the Otters! I enjoyed everything about this video! Including the beer cooler! As active as you and Dave are, I don't believe butter will be a problem. My 92 year old Mother cooked with pure lard all my life. She never sat down. I honestly believe that is the key! But anyway, steak ramps and potatoes onions! You guys have a great week coming up!
love it
You and Dave put out some of the most educational, inspiring, and wholesome content - keep up the great work, God bless you and your family 🎉
Indeeddd
second that mention
This will be one of my favorite videos. The other I love is You, a Good man and dogs video. Man, I repeat that video / to watch slowly while drifting off to sleep. Now I can add this video. Love the dogs at play, peacefulness and the unified passion between you and Dave. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
@@therealgirlinthewoods You just get better and better. Hope making videos is still fun for you.
Great video! I love Otters! Looks like you found their outhouse. My Lincoln, black Lab mix, is the same way about fires. He turns 14 next month and after all these years he still won’t come close to the fire. It’s that animal instinct that fire is dangerous.
good to know i'm not alone
Hey, Girl in the Woods! Thank you for making a long video - i know it's a lot of work. I needed it today 😊
glad you enjoyed it
So delightful to see Moose leading the way in with confidence. Wasn't that long ago he was trepidatious sitting in the back with Maisie on his early trip into the site. He's an old pro adventure dog now.
Beautiful Brooke!! I've been enjoying my remote off-grid life for almost 2 years. Not perfect by any means but peaceful, surrounded by nature, and very low stress. I totally get it!! We are going to build an A-frame as our indoor/outdoor kitchen building.
Cool
@@hjm213 very cool! Hello from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel and homestead!!
How cute is Moose doing the Zoomies?🐶💙 One of my little dogs is 18 coming 19 and he still has the zoomies once a day, then sleeps for a couple of hours to recover!
Thats wonderful to hear about your dogs :) One of mine is nearly 17 but he's slowing down :( Still though when he chooses to do something... Zoom. All be it in an elderly elgant way.
@@Cadiangrunt99 "In an elderly and elegant way"
What a beautiful choice of words.
lol go doggies
Great to see how well everything held up.😊
Classic “Girl in the Woods”! Love it always. ❤️ ❤️
I'm always so glad when I c a dog that obviously luvs it's owner, cuz clearly that means the owner is loving and good to their pet.
That's so important to a helpless, innocent animal.
Good for u, I respect that so much. 👍👍👍
I smiled through this entire video, thank you so much! Moose is priceless. And thanks for your prayer, my hope is in Jesus. Looking forward to your Alaska videos,too. You be blessed! ❤ 🌲🥩🔥🔥
I always love your visits with us. The beautiful scenery, the quietness of the forest but no fish this time. I haven't went fishing for years and I really miss it. Nothing like frying fresh fish over a camp fire or even on the old Coleman stove. I thought you were going to make dinner for Dave too but not this time. Thanks Brooke
I'm so happy I get to follow another Whipple's adventures!
Mick seems like a great guy and I'm so excited for his journey. I believe he will do well.
God bless you guys! 💙
thanks much!
🦦 Otters are so adorable 😍
Loved this video. I am so looking forward to getting up to my little cabin in the UP this summer!!
🌲🌲🏠🌲🌲
This was so enjoyable to watch! You are such a Blessing! 🙏🕊️🙏
Really great video Brooke! We are rural but I really envy your life style. Wish everyone was like you. The otters were fantastic.
After watching you cook and eat steak and mushrooms,I had to cook some up..I didn’t have ramps so I substituted green onions instead!!my dog JAGGER loves your videos cuz he gets good food and he loves to zoomies..all the time,thank you for sharing your favorite things with us 😊
There are a ton of simple recipes that you can mix with water and spray that mold. It'll be a breeze to clean! Good to see y'all back there.
Really enjoyed the video, and Moose.. the knife is so awesome. I love your little cabin there,, thank you Brooke for sharing.
I'd say that Moose is afraid of the fire probably because it pops. Both my dogs are freaked out by popping noises.
Have to say, the otter footage was hilarious. Lots of bathroom shots. Funny dance they do when they're relieving themselves.
I just bought 10 acres of property and can't wait to put something on the back in the woods kind of like your A frame.
have fun!
Live in North Carolina, but my husband has family in Canada who introduced us to fiddleheads years ago. Oh my goodness. They are so good!
The Otters seemed to enjoy being on camera...😂😂🤣🤣
It was SOOO good to see you 3 again... I missed not seeing the fourth... But, guess she's getting to old to keep up with Moose... LOOOVED the video. Such fun ! Glad to hear u cook with butter and not margarine... 😀 Take care u guys... Pray, your family is well !!! 😘
Those critters were so adorable! 🙂
I said it before,Moose is a goof and he loves to zoom all over the place 😂,my dog loves to zoom a couple of times a day lol,I enjoy watching the both of you play together ❤thanks for the videos and please keep them coming 😊
Your food always looks amazing!! That trail Cam video cracked me up!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Girl … Another excellent video!!! I really enjoyed the interaction between you and Moose!!! Made the video!!! Savor and enjoy each moment on the place. It is wonderful!!! Until your next video, take care, be safe, best wishes and God bless!!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨🌾✝️🙏🐩🖖
So beautiful, Brooke! The size of those trees! Amazing! Oh, as you cut the ramps, I could smell them in my memory of doing the same when we lived in Mich. I'd ❤️ to get them started here. What a peaceful way to end my day. Thank you, and God bless.
Very prescient of you to set up the trail cam right at the Otters' outhouse! 😂
Brooke , i love this little cabin , im so glad it didnt flood , dont make us wait so long to see you again , lol , stay safe my friend
It was so nice to see you and moose out at the cabin. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to the next ones thank you.☮️❤️
Brooke your place and property are pure heaven good on you two for taking advantage of the sunshine for power. 😊
Moosie zoomies are the best, followed by pooping otters! lol
Oh my, watching those little otters play is delightful!😅
So glad you’re back in the UP!!! I LOVE this property !! And you too!! 💜
Great video, Brooke! Just so peaceful and lovely through the woods. Of course the moose is a joy. Just love your place. Thanks for taking us on a walk through the wonderful woods. You sure know how to enjoy your life. God bless you and keep the videos coming.
I like your prayers. It is genuine.
Aww, Moose is so adorable. I'm not really a dog person, but Moose will just melt my ❤
So great to be with you & Moose at the cabin. Funny he is scared of the campfire. When he was little he wanted to lay in the fireplace before there was a fire in it. It is so peaceful there.
I loved the otters dancing and they were full of poop! Miss Da Woof she is such a sweet friend, glad you have the Moose he is such a little character. Zooming around the woods and those Ears! He is so cute.
❤ wonderful episode! Moose is adorable and such a pal, your bff! Your tiny cabin is so cozy and decorated so cute with your little knick knacks, record player just perfect. Nothing like that first cup of coffee outdoors! Look forward to thd next episode! So blessed🙏 "She Gone!" ❣️
yah he's a little bit up my butt LOL
Thought I’d watch for a minute or two. 46 minutes later and loving this little slice of heaven. Moose is loving it too. He really perked up after slipping into the water. Nothing better than a campfire (unless you’re moose of course)
So cool. You rock! And Woof too, of course. Oops, I meant Moose.❤
Love seeing you both in the videos together! Glad your cabin held nice over the winter.
You are magical. I enjoyed the otters. Your walk in the woods. Your great dinner. Stay safe my friend. See ya next time. God Bless you always. Just you and your dog.
Thanks 👍
Always here
@@beverlyhanlon8376 Greetings from Poland and my channel 😊. I just moved to the countryside 🏡! You might enjoy it!
Thank you, thank you for praying in simple gratitude for the whole world to see!! ❤
Its so funny like the otters were putting on a show for the camera they even kept looking at it lol so cute
I love that little doggy💖
I bet you could slap up about six hundred watt solar panels on the front of that cabin and run a small 5000 btu AC on a 2000 watt inverter to cool your cabin all day long on solar power only without even needing any batteries!
Well, as long as it's bright and sunny anyway but of course that's the only time you'd need air conditioning anyway isn't it?
yeah it cools off nicely at night
I loved your adventure and the pooping otters, Brooke. Moose is slowly warming up to the fire. Is he afraid of the smoke? Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I had fun.
I think it must be a self preservation thing. My cat HATES my glass front woodstove and gives it a wide berth.
*Edit* I meant front, not from, but thanks for trying spellcheck.
@@MickDickerson My dog doesn't like the stove too! Hello from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊. I just moved to the countryside 🏡!
@@agnesskibicka I’m starting to think we couldn’t have done it at a better time. And nothing better for the soul eh?👋❤️
@@MickDickerson ❤️
Thanks for the adventure. I love the sound of the water. The peace and quiet is so relaxing.
Moose and his zoomies love that....... the pooping otters that was a hilarious sight
Louie and Moose could be twins except Louie has a stub not a full tail lol!! I can't believe how many subscribers you have now. I started watch with less then 10k great job Brooke
Thanks so much!!
I’ve been wondering how y’all are doing up there with the smoke from the Canada wildfires. Hope all is well. Thank you for another inspiring video.😁
thanks for watching
Woo-hoo, so glad you have a quad, gas chainsaw, little trailer to carry all your gear! So glad to see you off grid using gas equipment! And battery operated walkie talkies! Great stuff!
I thought the came was going to show a scary bear but I saw my favorites the cute otters ... love it
