Ok well I screwed up again. This video was supposed to premiere at 7pm this evening. But I messed up when I was setting cards and stuff. Oh well. Enjoy everyone.
Hi Russell I was wondering do you ever burn candles ? if you do once you get down to the last part of the wax that you can no longer burn, go to the dollar Rama and buy makeup pads they are sold in a long sleeve. When you get the end of your candle blow the candle out and soak up the leftover melted wax with the makeup pads let it get harden store in freezer bag and it’s burns longer and makes GREAT fire starter you should try it and if you have friends who burn candles ask if you can collect them for you super easy and burn a while good luck
Not to worry Russ, enjoyed the video very much.
The batteries on the ATV really hold a nice charge in that weather. Always impressed by that.
You can tell it's really cold when the snow crunches like that. You be careful out there, especially when you're by yourself.
Just a note, having solar panels on the roof makes it hard for daily service like removing snow. I would design a ground platform 5 feet off the ground that faces south and will adjust straight up and down keeping the panels vertical in the winter so snow will not collect and cover and if you did have to clear them it would be easy. You would have to add more panels for such a set up but well worth it should you have one fall off the roof!
You make me nervous on the roof and out on the ponds. But you know what your doing. And you're a great Dad to your fur babies 💜🐶🐶
All your Videos/Adventures are Fab,keep them coming(Please)
Aww poor Willow. Makes me cold to watch all that cold. But, it sure is a beautiful area. 🐱💞
I spent 4 days and nights at my cabin on an island in pigeon lake during one of those cold snaps. Borrowed a snowmobile from a friend and took my dog across two miles of ice with a sled trailing behind. For the entire time, I only unzipped my snowsuit to go to the outhouse...lol. Snowmo got stuck in the snow one evening and I thought I was going to die of a heart attack digging it out......had to stop and dry off my sweat evry 5 minutes....anyway, I survived. didn't even use the woodstove, too much trouble. just heated the bunkie up a bit with a kerosene heater before bed, then shut it off. Most amazing quiet and beauty up there in the wintertime. Would love to see a video on the drone and how it's working out. thanks!
Now that's an adventure! But I would have lit the woodstove. Did you mean a video of drone shots? Or just a video on the drone? Here's the drone: ruclips.net/video/XjIWcAvq1MI/видео.html and here's a good video of drone shots: ruclips.net/video/Az4pYicd63U/видео.html
Nice to see you posting vids again. Hope Willow heals quickly. Have a great week!!!
Thanks Grampie!
Hey Russel, nice vid, sorry to hear about the drone, glad the baby's ok. Nice to see a regular video again.
Get some QuikClot for you and your dogs....Works great on bleeders...And Chilly Dogs in Ontario makes great dog coats.
Beautiful in the winter. your roof rake makes me glad my panels are on the ground!
Yes nice to see you happy Russell
Thanks J.
You need to dig a root cellar below the frost line next spring and keep beer and other refrigerator items in there when winter comes and in summer it will keep things cold as well. Your friend Shawn James has one and works well.
NO MORE FROZEN BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole area is bedrock, going beneath frost line isn't an option unless I build a huge mound of earth. And spending a week shoveling earth not my idea of a good time.
As always, another great video Russell. Hope you get the drone up and running again soon!
If the vet didn't give you anything specific, I would recommend keeping some triple anti-biotic ointment on Willow's injury (aka Neosporin) and definitely keep it wrapped. Get well soon Willow!
Stay thirsty my friend...and warm!
such a good dog daddy loveing all your vids great job
I think this video is amazing! Never expected footage of your downing Mavic. What a twist!
Didn't mean to sound so cold about it all. I am sorry about the drone, but it just caught me by surprise. :)
You didn't mean to sound so.... COLD? LOL
Man I can not wait to get to that point. I own some remote land and plan to go off grid. And being a federal contractor affected by the shutdown I just may have to escalate my buildout. Thanks for the videos, gives me hope I just may get there.......
Great video Russ, thanks for sharing
hey Russ how's things treating you? nice to see a video from raspberry rock.stay warm .
Hey Bundy, how's it shaking?
I had a similar situation with a dog of mine years ago. Her running around in the great outdoors and was cut open on her leg. Very upsetting to say the least.
Awesome video Mr Russell 👍🏾
Love the video Russell. Bad luck comes in threes; beer, drone, dog. So you are good for a while I guess. Better roads ahead. Sorry about the drone and poor Willow. Oh, and the beer.
Thanks Pete. Glad you enjoyed it.
Just go to the islands and relax with the girls and be nice and warm. Why suffer and there are plenty of place on earth like Pacific Islands to explore on a sailboat.
walking on snow and ice makes the weirdest noise.
It makes different noise depending on the type of snow.
You build wood stove fires the same way I do - the absolute best way. However as far as I know, north south is better than east west. Place your first logs the other way, ends facing the glass. Once fire is established, continue placing new logs north south. Cheers :) Oh yeah, and... have you ever heard of vegetables? Your videos make me laugh in a good way!
Enjoyed the video Russ thanks! ✌👍
Thanks Ol' Lady!
This winter is amazing, not drowning in 2+meters of snow like last winter and not constantly -30C, working outside wasn't fun at all and not to mention doing equipment repairs.. Maybe time to try some doggie boots on Willow as she's the wild one? If she wouldn't just eat them off, the icy hard snow's terrible on the paws.
Wouldn't two of those heat powered/thermoelectric fans on top of the stove, one on each side of the pipe help a lot with spreading and speeding up the heating of the cabin?
Look into some Diamand Grip stair treads to put on your platform, and maybe even for your stairs. That seems crazy up there on a flat platform.
What do you do once it fills up with snow? I can't use them on the stairs because of the dogs.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin I guess that is true about the dogs. For the platform you could remove the board and just put the stair tread. Then snow would just go through, and not build up. Love watching your channel, keep it up!
Are you on a winter vacation from your Raspberry Rock video station . I understand if you are . Hope your dog is fixed up and feeling better .🐕
Hey Russell. I’ve often wondering if you’ve ever stacked the logs the other way? The space between the 2 logs would be facing you allowing perhaps more air flow.It’s how I used to do my fire place but mine was one that didn’t have glass to watch it so it didn’t matter which way the logs were. I know you’ve lit 100’s of fires but I was just curious? Cheers kb
Awe poor Willow😢 wonder how she did that?
Glad u posted a vid again, needed my RR fix 👍 glad willow is doing better
I live in Florida I find it chili tonight... I think it was your fault it made me cold just looking at that snow.. just found you really enjoy, liked ascribed it was funny cuz I was just watching cabin talk with Claudia ... she lives off grid with two dogs also..... she runs an animal sanctuary... and your video popped up
I love those hash browns with a runny egg on top🥰
Great video !!
Dutch Oven, second best possebillety for Chicken. Good Idea is, do your rice from the start on with the chicken in the Dutch O. One Beer and some carrots. 1 KG Chicken = One Our Oven. little Paprika Powder. Mmmmmmmm
looks freakin cold russ,this is fri 1-18 waiting on this big ass snowstorm to hit us,its 33 here..next month we need to get togetjher and get set up for goin on the air with the dj lol anyway,you 2 have a great weekend
Hey Dwayne, yeah cold this weekend too. Unfortunately I'm in the city, probably won't be back until Sunday.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin no hurry russ we got a few weeks,if you have skype look for dj king dwayne then we r done with that part but a test...lol..i like things when they go easy lol
I loved the footage on your frozen pond! How do you decide when it's safe to walk across?
I once watched a documentary on professional lake skiers in norway, as experienced as they were they stressed they never go on ice alone.
next time try to bbq the chicken cut the chicken backbone out season it lay it flat on bbq .use one of those interlock bricks u have on deck cover in tin foil and weight down the chicken comes out amazing do your slow heat like u do your ribs offset ... one of the fams favorite
cheers
Russ, how many camers do U use, when you are out walking or on your ATV? Sometimes it looks like you have three differing angles, then other times just one angle of you or the pups comming or going.
I enjoyed this video thourghly.
Too bad about your quad. Did U take out the insurance for mid- air collisions? Claim that it hit a goose.
Stay safe in the woods.
James when I'm on the ATV I usually just have my gopro. So it's a lot of running back and forth.
Love ya bro, good luck out there!
You shouldn't climb around like that when you are alone. That snow is dangerous.
If I had that attitude, Carol, there would be no cabin here.
Hahaha you on the roof with that rake was like Laurel and Hardy gold Russ! Stay warm my friend
Give Willow a hug 🐾🐾💝
I know this is 3 yes ago. But I still hope your Lab Willow healed well. 💕
I just find it hard to believe that your normal vet wouldn't handle your emergency.
My old vet would come to my house 24/7 or on holidays to handle an emergency. These new vets are only in 8t for the money, don't you dare interrupt their personal time with an emergency.
Willow bounced back fine. I can understand the vet is busy every day.
So to set up a shot you figure out your video angle then go quite a ways around the camera ( so U don't leave any footprints ) turn on then go back and walk forward toward the camera as if the camera has been there just waiting for you?
Yeah that's pretty much it, James. Sometimes you can't avoid the footsteps, though.
I know this is old video but my dog had the same issue and I discovered he had ripped off a dew claw.
Ah sweet with an for me "early" Russel video :D ! Have an great weekend man.
TOBY! No live stream tonight, buddy. Sorry.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin No worries man :) When you streaming and I'm free I try to attend !
Good to see ya again. Sure like the vids more than the live streams. Just saying. My best to Willow, Jim
We've missed you! Have you seen the "Bohemian Rhapsody" film yet? Worth it. Very glad to see Raspberry Rock again. Shawn James is wearing thin.
Haven't seen the movie yet. Can't wait.
Have you tried Beau’s craft beer,out of Van Kleek Hill. Strongly recommend Lugtread xxxx. PS I live in Muskoka,all the best xxx
What's the name of that drone, & what's it cost new, & I've been wanting to get hooked up with Amazon, like what with what your doing, to where you make a little kick back off everything someone buys using your web page, & how does someone get their foot in the door like you did with Amazon, oh yeah, ya might wanna consider putting a windshield on your ATV to block the cold air
Good video nice and fresh eh !
extreme cold and extreme burrito!
Well, as the old saying goes, There's more than one way to skin a cat. LOL!!
This man is a hazard to himself and the people around him.
Sorry to hear. Are you getting help?
21:57 what city girl meant to say with putting liquid in there was some butter under the skin...............................or and maybe some beer lol
I am sure someone has axted, but does you have wireless internet? If so, what provider? Do you get a decent amount of data? Thanks, Brad
I get internet through xplornet LTE so yeah it is wireless. I'm the 300GB / month plan.
u need two garage door tracks put up there and a electric garage door opener and some thing to run it back and forth with the opener
What happened to Willow? Stay Safe all of you
do you ever clean that stove from ash?
Sad news on the drone Russ, I always say replace a toy with a toy so time for the Vive!
Oooohhh smart thinking there, Brandon. Unfortunately the next gen VR isn't out and I don't know when it's coming. Plus, it shouldn't be too expensive to fix the Mavic anyway.
Ever hear that song ... it's forty below and I don't give a f....
It is hilarious I heard it 40 years ago only once but I can still remember parts of it
Dogs need a coat at those temps.
Absolutely, esp JB. Russ is rugged to the hilt but dogs have no extra warmth. Coats are mandatory with those breeds.
What were those lights across the lake?
Hanna we put solar lights around the pond. It's pretty neat to see, but a lot of them aren't working anymore. They don't seem to last long. We have to put out new ones as soon as the ground thaws. There are 7 in all.
Raspberry Rock - Off Grid Cabin - oh sounds pretty. Those tiny solar twinkle light strands would be lovely in a small tree. Love that you have beaver lodges. I'm always seeing people killing beavers in videos due to their lodge/dam building.
That bacon was almost AFS :)
It's one thing I don't cook very well. I never know when to take them off.
Never trust ice
Time to buy a new copter or send it in for repair
I don't know if there are Wolves in your area but there is in mine. Yesterday I found a deer kill. I track back its trail and it was a blood trail the Wolves must have followed. I saw where it started and the deer had broken through the ice crust and cut its leg, so as it walked it left the trail which the Wolves scented. Watch out for the Pups for a couple of days!
Good call, Chris. I was thinking the same thing about the blood trail. There are bears in the area as well.
How did that chicken turn out? Got to make sure it cooks through or you could get salmonella poisoning. You probably need some chicken broth at the bottom of the cooking pan you're cooking your chicken in. If you want. you could add some potatoes, and carrots along with some chicken broth. I was wondering why you don't have a fire place screen? Don't you think it'd be much safer burning your wood with a screen?
Maria it was a disaster. I added too much water and it came out like soup.
mmmmmmm, having one of your dog hurt really makes you figure how everything is far from your home now.....
I m so sorry for her, have you found what cut her yet? maybe some tools outside or edgy parts maybe?
and then the drone..... plastic does nt like that kind of cold very much,
I better get that in mind, as, where I will live will probably be even much colder, northern Quebec is quite bad.
that tortilla wrap is the most appealing meal you have made yet according to my taste, lol.
pineapple with pizza really does nt suit my palette, I usually go for sweet or salty, but never together.
I really like bacon on it though, lol, I try to check my health as well, so it s not often.
greasy food and the 50s don t go along very well, I m also stopping the smoking,
sick, alone in the forest is not ideal if I m responsible for the lives of my dogs.
I plan to have some kind of radio - cb if I don t have cellular reception, in case of emergency.
good show Russ!!!
Do you carry any gun out there incase you do meet wolves or rouge bear.
did you fix your mavic pro arm
The arm is fixed and the gimbal but now I'm getting front sensor errors
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin did you attempt a re calibration?
Yes.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin display errors? Did you try the DJI forum?
My usual technique is to watch a video showing me where the sensor/cable is/are, then open it up and see what I find. Haven't done that yet.
That's beach weather to us in Timmins, and we have about a foot and a half of snow, anyways we're supposedly to get -40 C nights of the next few nights.....but we had two of them already, so it's no big deal ….so much for global warming, lol
I was thinking the same thing. I wish it would warm up to -20. It's 40 below here right now with snow up to my armpits. But I'm nice and warm in my little cabin. Say hi to Shania for me. Ha ha. Just kidding.
Russ, do you work in town during the week? Just wondering.
Nope, I'm a bum.
Olá tudo bem boa noite que cachorro lindo beijos xau 💕💕💋💕
Is that a treadmill next to the fridge? Why!
Gets cold in Ontario eh?
Are u from Canada.
When I ride my sportsman in that kind of weather, my helmet keeps my head and face toasty warm. You should be wearing one anyways.
Dogs are meat eaters,kibbles not very appetising for them...especially in really cold weather.
Is that a new 4 wheeler
...finish off that front porch...stash your dirty boots and wet clothes in there, wood too... you won't lose as much heat going in and out of the house, keeps the floor clean inside...every house in the old days had front and back "porches"...great to put the cookstove outside on, in the summer, so you don't bake your brain while baking bread...
I wasn't really planning on enclosing the porch, but then it wouldn't take much to talk me into it either. Thanks for the comments.
I agree. A mudroom/porch is a must. I'm building one onto my cabin now. You have an amazing spot. Great channel also.
25:30 Blaze it!
Why can’t I chat on your live streams? Every time I click chat it force closes RUclips. Last 3 times you did a live stream
Hi Justin, I don't know I've never heard of that problem before. Can you try a different browser next time? Also, check out other live streams on youtube and see if it happens. Just do a search for 'live'.
👌😁✔👍🙌✌
good day sir !! you need to get back to the rock lol, i need new vids to watch durring beer oclock!!
🐾🐾🐾🐾👍🤠
If he was more smarter he would be lost wow
If you could type coherently I might be able to understand what the hell you meant.
the three stooges all rolled into one
What do you do or how do you get your wheeler back to the truck if it breaks down to or from going to the cabin?
Hasn't broken down completely yet. Not sure what I would do.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin I was just wondering with how hard it is or you to get there all the time. I'm worried about it when ever I head out by myself.
Well it doesn't make sense to worry about stuff. Just deal with problems when they come up.
Good 2 see u posting videos again.Put little bit of nail poiish on threads and your wing nuts should stay tight.GROW a beard for the winter it helps.cheers be safe.
Yea but think of all the 💰 your saving on bug spray.
I like your videos, but your fire might draw better if you clean out the old ash each morning.
Beer can chicken on the bbq. RUclips. Delicious
:)
Burr..lol
i know just how his wife feels .... my husbands no longer allowed to cut up whole chicken.. should have had you solar panels on the ground
You look like the father of my twins.
I swear I was bowling with some friends that night.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Jajajajajajaja
