    it is a wonderful place you have there. I have spent 35 years in the Jemez mountains here in NM. Now I can barely hobble around. So it is time for new generation to explore and hunt this beautiful area. Being grateful that I was able to experience the outdoors in a way similar to you. Love your videos Martin. thanks

    Hi Martin! Thanks much for the 'visit' and the story of the Cabin and how you came to be it's owner and steward. So kind of you to share it all with us as you do. There's something very deep, positive and good about you and your story, kind of inscrutable and mysterious (in a good way), but plain to recognize for those with a heart and spirit that are spoken to by such things. Most peaceable and agreeable place to visit in all of "window-world" as far as I can tell. Bless you, and your wonderful place.

    Everett sold the cabin to the right person. It is obvious to me from watching your videos that you appreciate the cabin and the land. You knew and appreciated what it had to offer. The property offers a great deal of entertainment and enjoyment for those of us who appreciate the woods and all it has to offer. Knowing the history of the property, who occupied it and why adds to the experience of being there. You've done a really good job of fixing it up and making good use of it.

When I was in college I found a cabin not far from home in the woods in sad shape. I wrote the owners to ask if I could lease it from them and fix it up. I never heard back. I've dreamed about having a spot in the woods ever since. Some day... Thank you for sharing your adventures.

    Hey Martin , your respect for the land , the wildlife , the cabin and its history , is a beautiful thing . My grandfather was born somewhere around 1910 , he had 13 trapping , hunting and logging camps . I was a very small kid in the 1980's and things were that I spent a lot of time with him . He taught me many things from the land and respect for everything on the land . Thanks to him , and thanks to you for another great vid .

    I can't believe you stayed in that cabin when you first found it!
    You obviously saw through what it looked like, to what it could be.
    Good for you.
    It's really inspiring what you can do when you are willing to work hard,
    with some help from friends I assume.
    It's also really cool that you are influencing others (as I see in the comments)
    yo do the same.
    Our family has a cabin on a lake in Ontario.
    We have two sons who love going up there.
    I know the property will be the one real thing they will inherit some day,
    and it is my most fervent wish that it stays in the family for generations to come.
    Anyone doubting that all the hard work is worth it, or that it is too much to take on,
    because the obstacles you have to overcome sometimes seem impossible.
    IT IS WORTH IT.

      The history always adds to my enjoyment. There are so many old cabin remains in the area that no one knows a thing about.

    Great story my friend..if I could ever purchase all the old deer camps or any one for that matter, the walls would speak to me....great times as a youth with my dad and his buddies, never will forget those times....I want to get back some day to reconnect.

    Need to make a journal to go with the cabin and note all the history you have. Please be very careful to whom you pass it on too. So that they keep the history line intact, and keep the cabin going for it's intended purpose.. it's nice to know that places like that still exist.. I've had a great time cruising through your videos, and dreaming what a life like that would be like. Thank you so much for taking the time to share the cabin with us, and continue the cabin's history. You're a remarkable man..

      Thanks, three journals have been filled with things written by myself and other cabin guests.

    Hi Martin, I’ve been enjoying your videos. I’m currently going through a similar process in fixing up the log cabin my father built nearly fifty years ago. I can identify with many of your projects and also the satisfaction that comes with completeing them. All the best to you.

    I am glad I stumbled across your videos, you tell the story of the camps history very well and it kept me interested. We my brother and I and nephew are starting a camp in Nothern Ont Canada as we speak. we will be posting a channel soon on our progress and great times ahead. Most of my hunting and fishing memories are from a camp we went to in Nova Scotia with my now deceased father...... time to build our own camp and get the younger nephews to enjoy the wilderness and the great times I remember.....thank you Martin....Take care Chuck

    Awesome story Martin! I have great childhood memories of a cabin my grandparents owned on 3rd crow wing lake. Unfortunately, they were forced to sell it in the early 90s. I miss the place to this day. It's too bad my kids didn't get to experience 'cabin life' like I did.

      Seems like there is an unlimited amount of content around that cabin, I just need to keep the camera at arms length so it can be captured and shared.
