I recently built a wood shed down by the creek at our home property, and never filled it with fire wood because I knew I had wanted to come and do a campout first. I had also wanted to make a little wood-fired hot tub for the occasion, and have been mulling over ideas for a long time. Years ago we bought a bunch of old 500lb propane tanks in order to have a pontoon dock made, and there were a bunch of leftover tank 'ends'. We sold some, gave some away, had 2 combined to make a globe, and have had the last 2 sitting around for years. I had always wondered if I could fit in one, and use it as a hot tub! I knew I needed some way to stand it up, and have a fire underneath, and when we were getting the rails for the ore car hot tub project, I saw an old tire rim and knew it would be the perfect thing. Steve helped to give life to my vision, and voila!
Honestly, the whole tub and experience turned out better than I thought it would, and I kinda can't wait to do it again! 🤭
Camping in the wood shed was fun - I made it feel super cozy with lights and some hanging sheets to keep the cold creek breeze out. In the morning it was likely about 8 degrees Celsius, but I was warm and comfortable!
So much of life is making memories, and the more we do that's out of our 'normal', or out of our comfort zone, the more memories we will make. Ever thought about camping in your own back yard? Get out and make it happen! 😁
As always, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the 'Michyquirky' video 🤭

Well done, thank you for sharing.
Is this what you were going for?

Reminds me of an old Playboy Magazine cartoon. Picture in your mind's eye, African natives gathered around a huge cooking pot. Inside the pot as a fire heated the water, was a female missionary whose head (with worried expression) was sticking out, still wearing a traditional safari-style pith helmet. This image came to mind, only with Michelle in her hot tub wearing a pith helmet!
Starting to worry a little about Steve's safety. Just connecting the dots here. A Witches cauldron, an axe and firewood. I hope she doesn't boil the poor guy in it. js 😆
😂
Carrots, onions, potatoes, squash and turnips. Definitely some salt, Steve is too sweet.
😂
Very astute observation. I forget the lines of the three witches in Macbeth; something like, "fire burn and cauldron bubble..."...LOL There is classic drama being acted out here once again. But she is so cute!
Recipes for slow cooker 😁
“What’s for dinner tonight dear?”
“Trying to decide to have boiled Michelle or stewed Michelle”
Love the way you jump on the down swing of your splitting ax.
IKR? Great minds.
I spent a good 25 years working in the bush and now am retired in wine country in Naramata BC....I always enjoyed being in the bush and became adept at being comfortable in my natural surroundings be it in a wall tent, sleeping under a canoe or in an open lean-to. I do miss the camping experience and the independence it offered not only physically but spiritually as well. I really enjoy watching your videos.....
In a world where woodchucks ponder and girls dream,
A tale of mischief, laughter, and a hot tub scheme.
The woodchuck scratched its furry head with glee,
For the woodshed's lack of wood, you see.
A girl, adventurous, her heart aflutter,
Decided the woodshed's fate to utterly shutter.
"No logs for me," she declared with pride,
"I'll camp here, with a shelf, by my side."
With determination, she toiled away,
Crafting a shelf for her human array.
But then, a wild idea took its hold,
A wood fire hot tub, daring and bold!
She found an old truck wheel, rusty and round,
And a quarter of a propane tank she found.
With tools and sparks, she set the stage,
For a hot tub adventure, fit for an age.
But the woodchuck, with its wisdom profound,
Recalled a tale that did astound.
Three ducks, in a 118-degree brew,
Sank without a trace, oh, how they flew!
The next day, as the sun took its bow,
The woodchuck returned, its heart aflutter now.
The girl, packing up, had made amends,
The woodshed stocked, to its very ends.
So, the moral of this tale, you see,
Is that woodchucks and girls can both agree,
A woodshed filled with wood, that's good,
As much wood as they both ever could!
This is amazing!!! Thank you! I hope everyone reads it!
Great stuff
The solitude of solo camping is a canvas for self-reflection. This video paints a vivid picture of the solo overlanding experience, where every mile brings a new chapter of personal exploration.
I just pulled something in my lower back trying to wash skunk off my dog. That hot tub looks perfect.
One little trick that might save you some power: if you use the hose to siphon the water out of the hot tub instead of pumping it. Looks like fun!
If you really want to clean up the Tub and make it a bit safer. Add some river sand (even fine gravel will work) in the bottom of the hot tub. When in there rub the sand around and the tub it will really clean up and it gives you a layer to stand on that isn't steal. I built something like this for my sister the sand is key. Great job on the project.
Some large rocks tucked in around it would make it more stable.
Reminds me of old comic strip pictures of Africans cooking a missionary/explorer in their cookpot. 😅
I love that your hot tub drink holder/ end table / nightstand is a hunk of firewood 🙂🤣
No Fear in you! Brave being living life! Bravo!!! Nothing says brave more than 60's elevator Music!
Hi Michell, good morning. I told you, your MSA-140 Stihl chainsaw, would become your go to saw. Our friends had a large broken limb. Took my Greenworks battery chainsaw over and in no time, we cut it down, love not having to gas and pull starting saw. I had a total shoulder replacement last year and want to keep it working well. My friends are buying an electric chainsaw they were so impressed. Through this week went by fast, it’s not Sunday morning having my coffee watching you, but Wednesday. Keep up the great videos always enjoy your projects, weather is good her so will finish up decks staining this week.
Stay safe and well.
🤩🤩🤩😘😘😘The queen of off grid does it again, where do you get your energy from, yes, the Bluetti, great video yet again gorgeous, take care.
I kept looking for Witch Hazel to come out of the woods and start chopping vegetable into that hot tub with you. LOL
Thanks for the Bluetti deal. I'm reminded of the boiling frog story when I see you in the tub. I hope the soup is good.
Hi Michelle!! You amaze me with your spur of the moment ideas.. you so remind me of my wife your heads constantly spin and you can’t sit still… Loved the video and the music.. You made my day a little brighter 😊
I'm impressed Michy by your wood chopping sweetie , no wonder you're in such good shape 😉👌👍
Man I just want to sandblast that tub so bad and paint it for you. Bluetti's home solution just came out, I'm doing it once it gets sold in Colorado.
I used to work for NYC (retired), our in house painters were all Union and highly skilled. Their ladder choice was little giant with all the attachments. What a versatile tool that is. Extensions on legs for ground and stair adjustments. The ladder folded and planks make it a sturdy platform and to many other parts to hold tools and step off a ladder onto a work step while ladder is raised and so on. You might want to consider one, they are great, maybe a sponsorship pitch will get you one. Enjoy and lucky Steve, a girl who not only helps around the house but can build one, lol.
Nice job! The tub can also double as a wok to make stir-fry for 200.
The "stirring" of the water cracks me up
Wow, Michelle, that looks really nice. You and Steve did a wonderful job on that hot tub. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
... That was Michy Madness "So Cool" .. So original ..
Those hypnotizing eyes make my day.
I'm reminded of when I was a kid and reading about the captives in the cannibals big cooking pot , lol
I admire your enthusiasm! That tub looks really unstable--best of luck!
You and Nicole Coenen ought to team up next time she's in the West Kootenays for a wood-chopping extravaganza!
Your battery-Stihl chainsaw is paying for itself already.
Don't fuss with that cedar plank facia, it survives the 20' "squint-eyed" rule; (from further than 20' you'll never see the gap.)
Enjoying the content, cheers from a former West Kootenay guy, now in the Willamette Valley.
Bless you and Steve, you both have a blessed and wonderful week 🙏🙏🙏🙏
taken her in the wood shed has a new meaning.
Bluetti is on the way. Woo hoo!
Wooo hoooo!!! You’ll love it!
Steve is like the king he can do anything, fix boats it doesn't even matter. (No this will be better classic.)
Watching you chop that wood really strikes one as being a highly efficient (complete) power transfer from your body to the axe. A thing of wonder and beauty. And, it is clear you need a heavier axe because you could clearly push it harder. I just love your mysterious smirk as you were coming up with and completing your plan for a hot tub.
I truly love you making so many comfy spots on your property for you and Steve. Multiple uses with everything you make is the way to go. The trail is looking really good.
dude that battery and solar panels are so dope exactly what I need
106°C? That was funny! 🥵🤣
Regardless of what that structure is used for, camping, firewood, tool shed, it looks amazing! You make cool shit, lady!
Thanks, MG!
20:57 at 106 C you're way tougher than I thought 😅. Water boils at 100 🔥🔥🔥
It’s a mistake! I meant F 🤪
@@michygoss7148 the world would be a much simpler place if we could all use the metric system 🤣, coming from an American 🤣
You and Steve never disappoint you guys are always great working together stay safe out there
As I continue to watch your wood shed camp experience I was have a cup of coffee and nearly choked on it when you mentioned your meal for the evening was a squash and bean meal that 'wasn't real a camping type meal'. But hey, it was some leftovers that you had to eat. Everything looks so cozy at the campsite. Don't boil yourself in the hot tub....
I remember Old Dutch potato chips from my younger years living in Minnesota. Those and Schlitz beer were 2 favorites from where I grew up.
Love your Patrick Bateman style of using an axe! It just needed the Huey Lewis,and the news band music playing in the background, and you screaming “Hey Paul!” , or maybe Steve!!😄
Michelle, I just love your attitude, enthusiasm, and the enjoyment you have with the simple things in life. You are an inspiration and I love your videos. Just take care on your own, especially with all those power tools around.
What about Bears, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Coyotes and Timber Wolf's ? Oh don't forget those Chipmunks getting you at night.🤣🤣🤣 I see at 24 : 08 on the video that you have a large swimming pool on the right !
I wasn’t disturbed by anything in the night, except my bladder! 😂
Yes - we have a large swimming pool that is a lot of work! 🤦🏻♀️
Who would have thought a tank end would make a good hot tub! Enjoy
That's cool. Now I want to build a wood shed. And I done even have a fireplace. lol
Good man Steve:) absolutely love watching him work;p lol
Love your Slab Idea , 40 years ago we had Cheap mills in Even South of Portsmouth N.H., LIVE FREE or DIE. RIGHT .. , 100 dollars and I built Cabinets ,Speaker Enclosures on Logs coffee tables .. You look like You have Fun...we used to Go To Plymouth N.H. , Everyone had Mobile homes on a Big Fast moving Creek at the beginning of the White Mountains . Had electricity so It was not Roughing it ...They even had a college there , Great Restaurants .. Elks Club , Huge in all Log cabin PINE ...
I find these vids hilarious: yeah I’ll make a simple wood shed and a “basic wood fired hot tub” for my overnight, I’ll just need someone to weld it together and bring it down with the bobcat. 🤣
You cracked me up with that smile on your face when you first got into that tub at the 6:20 mark in the video. I love watching you and Steve work together, It warms my heart!
"Don't be fooled by her size she has got some power" You could be talking about Betty or that description could easily be used about you! I swear Michelle you are like a busy Beaver with all you neat inventive DIY.
You have an incredible mind. Your ideas are truly inspiring. Steve is. Lucky man. Keep the videos and ideas coming.
Yes! Just like back home on the navajo reservation.....everyday.
Another good video, I especially liked how you feathered-in the Bluetti sponsor material into the video.
Besides you could build new sawhorses for the main cabin since you know how to make it once you have the raw materials again.
The missionary in the stew pot said to the cannibal "You're not going to eat me whole are you?" "No, we spit that part out!"
So many talents, Hot Tubs-r-Us, Woodsheds-R-US, Tiny Cabins-R-US. When you feet came off the ground splitting wood it reminded me of splitting large hardwood logs and how one needed just a little more energy in the axe. Thank you for sharing.
Holy crap, that thing is cool! Awesome idea. Might be a good gag to chuck in a bunch of carrots and potatoes next time you use it. Maybe have Steve dance around it whooping and hollering. Maybe talk him into tying a bone into his hair.
Anyone named Steve is automatically a badass, "getouttatheway and lemme getterdone". :) I love the Bosa Nova music, Laurindo Almeida is one of my favorites, Listen to "Sara's Samba" sometime. That's what you remind me of.
I love seeing you my love as you are, you love doing carpentry things and more things. I love you michygoss❤
10 points for creativity
You and Betty Bluetti are just alike , “don’t let her size fool you , She has plenty of power ! “ LOL 😂
log splitting woman serves butternut squash stew and relaxes with her hubby. 👍
I actually loved that video and that song.
Got a notification for this video and thought it was spam message for a split second but suprise suprise 🎉.
Had to laugh at your elevator music whilst chopping logs as I was chopping potatoes at the same time for my potato salad 😂.
Thanks again for your efforts in making this video 💖💪🏽🪓
I forgot to say that ketchup crisps are the best 🤤😋😄
Thank you Michelle for another wonderful video, you and Steve have a beautiful property. Thanks once again have a wonderful week.
Add some carrots and celery, maybe a little onion. Salt and pepper to taste. And a full size Michelle and Michy stew is ready. Yum.
... I would love to see Steve's face when you come up to him and say "Hey,, I've got an idea" ...
As I'm watching you guys build the hot tub, "Oh my god she's going to boil herself."
Looks pretty cool though.
Love it.... lot's of stuff for one night. Hot tub is awesome.
What a truly remarkable and inspiring person you are. Kudos on this one Michelle. Hello to Steve, and thank you!
Well that's interesting 🤔 I'm a little concerned about your diet, with you throwing up a wood shed and metal roof. Perhaps chewing more through and switching too something like blackbeans and butternut squash, and give that a try. Michy it looks more like a Japanese tea cup. You should make a lid for it and attach the foam to it. Even if you leave the water in it and it freezes it's just a fire away from being nice and toasty.
Have a good week and God bless amen.
What a nice imaginative "out door bathroom". 🤨🤔😐😀😂
Good work.
Bon courage and stay safe.👍👍👍👍👍
Your hippy hot tub turned out to be the perfect Mitchy size. Thanks for the episode.
run a hose up stream for a power free refill on your tub. Maybe a micro-generator in the creek for power!! Just dreaming lol. Love these videos!!
Interesting experiment
Great moments for a peaceful day
Nice axe work. Love chopping wood!
Best bit was 21.04. Ecstasy “Oh man”. 😊
I was thinking you could put a couple pool noodles around the top edge to make it a little comfier! 😊 Love your many projects!
Add onion, potatoes, carrots and one cute Michy !
Hello Michèle, you like being in communion with nature... Have a great time Michèle 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋
I think these videos of you-- and Steve-- camping are some of my favorites. It looks like so much fun and being outdoors is so relaxing.
Hey mitchy......you should buy an old trailer 6ft long...4ft wide. And convert to mini portable house. Strip trailer down. Do any repairs n welding. Add tabs in sides. Welded. Then osb the floor n unsulate with foam on too. Then wood plank for main floor. 2x4s for sides and pitched roof. Use couple old rusty rustic windows un sides. Add half barn door....one that splits in middle. Add those cheap bought roof shingles and ridge cap. Inside make fold down bed off wall. Fold down table. Add couple of shelves rustic of course then old wagon wheel chanderlier. Couple of candle sconces too. Then bluetti can power it...all electrics. Park it down near woodshed or take with you when required.....be a cool fairly easy build. Just mill some cedar n pine up. Buy isb n roof shingles...find other bits u have lying around. Make stable door with little stained glass window in....
Voila poratable tiny cabin.
P.s love steve helping u....n just digging deep to the crazee but cool ideas....litterally looks like a mitchy boiling pot....lol.❤
Keep happy..well n safe all inc the doggys. X
I’ve thought about doing that! Or something similar!
Michy, I wish I was there to keep turning you in the boiler so you don't get under cooked! Good job, tks for the video. Be safe and well!
Just awesome, you are so creative ☺️ looks like that bobcat comes in handy a lot . Love your channel you’re my favorite notification. Have a great day 😊☕️☕️
Good country girl camping out in the woods.
If Steve would weld a handle on your hot tub it would resemble a fairytale Tea cup ! Why not ?
And I hope a little more is done to stabilize the tub. No accidents !
Add some potatoes and carrots into that giant pot with you, and voila.. a delicious Michy Stew
😂
Wow ! pretty rare that we see one of your videos and we don't see the dogs ;) ;) The tub idea was just great...
Absolutely awesome!!!! Wooo woooo! Love that lil hippy tub!
That hot tub reminds me of those old cartoons with the pygmies and the Safari people( Daffy Duck) in the big soup pot over the fire.
There you can cook, be very careful. It is tremendous to make a great soup 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm thinkin 106 C is hot enough for Michelle soup...lol No, I knew what ya meant. But I do think the half round looks great up there on the front, only the builder notices that small stuff, no one else even sees that stuff. Once again admiring your creative vision, that dip in the hot tub had to feel great, in the middle of the woods...Awesome....Oh yeah, the little Betty Blue I think will be perfect for me... Thanks again👍
The big sigh said it all. Looked very relaxing.
Ahh yes....cooking the human...Looks so much like a cooking pot!
Your Ol Man is a very lucky man.
Michygoss goes to Club Trailer Wheel Tub! Great job. Watch the heat, you don't want to accidentally make Michygoss stew...8^) Glad you're having some fun in the woods. The smiles say it all. Great music during the wood splitting and ATV ride ! A great video, I really liked it. Cheers.
Once again Michy you amaze us you know that 98% of woman would not do what you do an the way you an steve support each other Just make's most of us envious an we wish you two the very best future love you guy's !!!
I'm late on commenting on this video but i just wanted to say how much i noticed your excitement of this whole episode! I've seen that look before in myself so from one woman to another, i was so happy that YOU were so happy to be out there experiencing a camp out in your wood shed and new 'hot tub'...so cool! Plus i have to say....has ANYONE watched a woman chop wood like this? Omg Michy, you are so full of talent, work ethic, videographer, animal lover.....i could go on and on but let me just say you're my hero. I watch a lot of TH-cam videos and you are simply above and beyond the rest. Thanks for all you do for your audience.
Steve is the best. It's my favorite watching him tolerate taking direction from the director.
😂😂😂
I haven't named my battery pack , is that a requirement er no ? That tub looks like a witches cauldron , very creative and perfect for Halloween ... nice little retreat
