    I was off grid many times and I had solar yard lights along the outhouse path , very helpful . Also , you can get good solar motion sensitive spotlights so that if there's anything moving outside and back past your outhouse , you can see it . That cabin is a treasure , just love the kitchen !! ❤

    I would consider taking more of the string lights and using them to make some kind of design over the stovetop. If the design was somewhat dense, it would give you so much more light to work by and could be really pretty. Even just a grid of lights would be useful.

    You could put perches to hang your bed textiles and blankets from. Our cabin had old spits hanging from the ceiling where they used to hang bread dry on (yes, they made their own knäckebröd!) and we just used those. Very handy for preventing mold and moisture build up.

Your ability to turn it into something amazing thru your storytelling, videography and still photos is beyond talented. And your love for your dog is infectious. Christoffer is very knowledgeable and looks to be an awesome life partner. Grim, well, he's plain adorable. I love that I can watch previous episodes in random order and it doesn't really matter to the storyline. I can't wait for my next paycheque so I can buy your book!!! Keep doing what you do and sharing your love and warmth with the world.
