I head into the woods alone to spend some time in the off grid cabin. The tiny recycled pallet wood cabin feels like a rustic home now that the woodstove is installed and the bed and window are complete. With the candles lit and ambient lights on, the cabin is feeling cosy!
Although winter is still in full flow and the frost is on the ground, the cabin soon warmed up with the G Stove lit. I made a coffee using freshly ground coffee beans, and a french press or Cafetiere. Many people ask me how to make coffee from grinding the coffee beans up. I like to use a portable ceramic hand-grinder to crush the beans into a coarse grind. The perfect cup of coffee takes practice but at the end of the day we all have different tastes!
What better way to spend a day then opening up some incredible gifts that were sent to me by my subscribers.
I received all manner of presents and personal letters and notes. I feel incredibly humbled to have such loyal youtube subscribers and I would like to thank you all for joining me on the adventure!
I am looking forward to spending more time at the wilderness cabin, and it's been a great project with my dad trying to turn it into a wilderness homestead. I look forward to foraging the wild edibles and plants in spring, and cooking fresh food on the woodstove. Living off the land isn't an easy task, but it is something I am striving to learn more about. I hope I can take you guys with me on this journey to develop my bushcraft skills, learn how to survive in the wild and if I can, to learn more about primitive technology and developing the primitive skills that were second nature to our ancestors.
