Russell, I have been watching you and City Girl for a very long time. Love all of your videos and the way that the two of you work together on your cabin and other projects. You always have such interesting and entertaining videos but it would be so nice for the both of you if you could pave that trail that you have to travel on to get to your cars with asphalt. Then you both would be the only ones that i know of that have a wonderfully paved and firm road to travel on back and forth to your cabin. Just a thought and hope that you will think about that. It would definitely make your travel route so much easier and you could put sturdy bridges over those water holes that you have to drive through. God bless you and City Girl and stay safe.
Russell...Loved this video. So interesting and informative. Love the decoy and what a history! Pizza time-did you know if you put some cheese on the bread part first, then your sauce & toppings, it will hold together better. And top with extra cheeses. Put them in the oven, not microwave. Willow needs to be checked for her heart bc shes panting (not from excertion in video) My older dog had to take to take heart meds which really helped with that. This is one of my favorite videos...keep up the great work.....
Oh well, Gramaw out..keep on creating 😊
It was actually a toaster / air fryer / oven that we put it in. I made the mistake of putting it on a tray instead of directly on the rack.
Great video! Loved every minute of it. Daily life of Mr R. is great! My husband used to pass out too. Never thought about laying him flat. 🫤 After cancer though, no problem. Love the new shoes! City Girl there for a long weekend. YAY! Thank you for the video! ❤
Thanks Sharon!
Wow Russell that was a great catch love the video beautiful view of the ocean thank you for bringing us along. Until your next adventure stay healthy stay strong ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Thanks Lou
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin your most welcome my friend 😍
Hello Russell. Well done on the beautiful catch! I like the decoy you were gifted from the interesting gentleman. You got the lawn guy to stop...see you're a big deal!!! Be well.
To answer your poll, I think you should do whatever you wish. Go on adventures when the ones that interest you arise. Enjoy your videos. :)
I can't believe willow is almost 9 for some reason I thought june bug was older.This was a great video thanks Russell.
Willow is even older than I thought.
Wow that was very nice of him giving you the duck and you still need to buy shares in Subway, take care and stay safe
LOL I had no idea he would give me one.
I have solar power installed but in an on-grid system, it's 93 panels of 360 w each, they are 6 gropes that goes to 2 charge controllers. The installed power kWp is 24. In a sunny day in the mid summer i can get about 240 kWh out of the system and most of it I sell so I get some money to buy back the power in the winter.
Grid-tie, a great option.
Great, great video Russell!! So many interesting things!! So nice to see you too Alicia
Glad you enjoyed it, Ruby.
That was cool about the decoys…my late Dad made decoys using tamarack for the goose hunt up north in Ontario and Quebec…it’s traditional in my original home area!
That was an extremely awesome fishing trip
Yes it was!
🤗YaaaY! been looking all day for a new post. Blessings, Russell. 🤗
Lovely video❣️ Thank you Russell.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Russell for sharing the video.
Hi Russell and City Girl. If you want to try something new for your pasta sauce, add a little balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic and whatever herb you like. Mix it and let the sauce rest for at least 15 minutes to “open up” the flavors. It’s really wonderful and this is how I make my sauce from scratch. Enjoy!
Needles blood work no issues at all, nor going to the dentist for a cleaning or filling, no issues. I believe it’s all about relaxing and not getting to stressed. As well I’ve been told i have a high tolerance to pain. I’ve even had a colonoscopy without sedation and was totally fine.
Totally gay.
Maybe City Girl can get a pic of this wonderful fishing day and frame it! What a fun day with friends! Fish looked so good. Thanks for sharing!
Great video Russell.👍🦆🦆🍁
Russell, it seems to me that you could place several cement drainage pipes where that water flows. The water can still go through and you could drive over them. Would that work?
Just found your channel! Just binged watched almost the whole thing. Love this type of content! Love love LOVE y’all’s accent! Watching from the Deep South, USA 🥰
I literally have the same boots. They are comfortable. I have ventured many a km in them. I enjoyed this video as I enjoy the others. We cannot play the intro music without our dog looking at the screen for Willow or Junebug. Cheers.
Great video Russel! You had a little bit of everything in there, I really enjoyed it! Have a great weekend.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ian.
Russel… new concept to pizza making.. try putting the toppings on after the pizza sauce and then put the cheese on top.. the cheese melts into the toppings and it holds your toppings on your pizza and you don’t loose as many toppings. We have always made our pizza this way, I never understood why people put cheese on first and add the toppings, it just makes sense to do the cheese last! Wow willow is 9! Love the wood duck
Trying to caramelize the pineapple.
Very enjoyable video! Good “catch”. I’m sure City Girl will enjoy them. I love really fresh fish. Salmon especially. You just can’t over cook them. I also enjoyed Steve’s portion of the video. I'll be contacting him re mine-when I locate them…
And yes, our feet do grow over time. I started out with 7.5 at 21 years of age. With each of my 2 kids they grew. Added weight added to my size. And I recently learned that with age, our “arches” fall, lengthening our foot size! Now, as an old lady, I wear a size 10! I've also lost 2” in overall height! Thanks again for your channel. ☺️
How do you cook your salmon, Libby?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin I replied in a separate comment, early this morning, Sunday!
That was a really fun video! So entertaining. Loved it all! The ending with the drone made me giggle. 14/10 would recommend. 😊
14/10!
Yes, I make my own bread dough for pizza. Also a quickie no-knead dough.
But when I’m in a hurry or tired I use 4 large slices sourdough bread. It’s best if bread is on the slightly dry side and no holes in it. I lightly spread pizza sauce, freshly crushed garlic from a garlic press, cracked black pepper, Italian spices (the usual mix in a jar-or just dried basil), some hot pepper flakes, and 2-3 finely chopped green onions (the whole onion). Then slices of pepper jack cheese (real cheese, not fake). Then I chop as many slices of salami and pepperoni to cover the bread. Add chopped/drained fresh tomato, as well as chopped (frozen gold, green, red) sweet peppers. (Can use fresh peppers if don’t mind them being less than cooked.) Top it off with grated cheeses (sharp cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan). Place the bread in the toaster oven and toast until cheese melted, everything hot, and bread is somewhat crispy. Might also turn on broil the last few minutes to get everything lightly browned. (Note: Sometimes I add sliced olives. Or I might go with a white pizza sauce, chopped ham, chopped green onion, chopped drained pineapple, chopped green bell pepper, dried basil, black pepper, etc.)
It’s basically a toasted open-face pizza sandwich which probably most people already make, but I love it because it has many of my favorite toppings. I use sourdough because we keep that on hand. (I used to make my own sourdough bread.) There are lots of other even more delicious and grain-loaded breads to choose from. It does not work well with soft breads. Gets soggy.
Kind of similar to the garlic bread pizza I sometimes make.
This video was one of your best Russell. I enjoyed every second.
I sit up to get my blood taken. I have to talk to the nurse the whole time to keep my mind off of the procedure.
I saw on youtube that you can take the back of a key and insert it into that cart coin release thingy instead on the coin. I've never tried it.
About the blood testing... that used to happen to my daughter and husband... the fainting. It's an involuntary response that one has no control over. The more one experiences, the less likely it will happen. I didn't believe it until I saw it happen.
Awesome Russell!! ♥️
I used to love fishing 🎣 great video Russell ❤️ as for blood work? I just had blood drawn Friday afternoon. Because my doctor is now suspecting that I have leukaemia. I am so scared. But anyway when I get my blood drawn I'm okay with it. But now I'm a little bit nervous because my veins are getting small in my arms so they have to use the butterfly needle in my hand. And now that my blood is really sick, it takes a little longer than usual. Sorry for the super long comment. It's great to be back as a member and its really comforting to watch your videos.❤😊
Good vibes you don't have that nasty disease.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin
❤️ Thank you. I truly hope I don't either. And we need to get to the bottom of why I feel like crap all the time. Pea soup ✌️
If you have stinky shoes just put then in a cabinet with an ozone generator for half an hour and let them them the wait for another hour before you pick them out and they will smell like new. It also works on things that have been in tobacco smoke and smells like an old ashtray, just half an hour with an ozone generator and an hour to sit... and all the bad smell is gone.
How much power do they draw in a day?
Put them in the washer
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin it's just about 100 to 200 watt and you run it for just 20 min to an hour. So no big power consumption.
On the 4x4 adjust the shift linkage and it should fix your problem tons of videos on it and its just tightening or loosening the adjustment nut.
How hard is it to get to the nut?
I believe it is right out in the open you will have to look for the location on YT for your model but usually they are on the side of the engine block by the clutch basket@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin
Great catch Russell!!! a quick break from life at the cabin is good for one to recharge batteries of a different kind - what better than a fishing trip. Needles aaargh.... Russ I'm with you there, have had to condition myself over years. Can't donate blood either, had to take the day off after the first time! When needing bloods taken have to turn my head away and ask the phlebotomist to talk to me about something good....anything good 😝 They're so good at it..just like yours was. 👌 Hi City Girl great seeing you again 💕
Yup, I tried donating blood once. The disconnected me pretty quick. I turned even whiter.
I sprinkle a little oregano on top of the sauce,it adds some flavour,,,then I also add sprinkle red chili flakes on the top before baking,adds a little kick,goes great with the pineapple!!!!!!😋😋😋😋🍕🍕🍕🍕
That's a good idea. That new sauce we tried was pretty bland.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin lol….lots are bland…….I think you would really like it,forsure then!!
That was some exciting reeling in, Russell. I was thinking about that fresh salmon right along with Alicia. 😋 What a nice lake voyage and sunrise. Loved the buddies and all the different folks you met, and the landing of the drone, haha. It needs a portable landing pad of some sort, eh?
Have you ever set something on top of the car, forgot it of course, then got to your destination with it still in place? I thankfully had this happen once, after a short trip, with my backpack. It's lower profile than some things, I reckon was why. I doubt I would drink something if the seal was broken, or it had been hot, or it was a different color than usual/the others. 😆
Getting bloodwork, or the thought of it, doesn't bother me much. I find that phlebotomists and Blood Drive staff are really good at it because they practice all day long. I wiggle my toes when they say the stick is coming, and that seems to help distract my brain.
When it comes to IVs, tho, I've run across some folks who just aren't all that skilled. They just don't do the volumes. If I can sense this, like a dog smells things, haha, I can usually trigger them to go get "our expert," by saying ..."small veins," "infiltration," "hematoma," etc. The expert always knows what they're doing. 😅
I once left a hammer on my bumper, drove to Home Hardware and back. Still there! That was funny.
i make cast iron pan pizza with sauce that i season smoked cheeses and tamed jalapenos Onions sometimes sweet peppers
Sounds yummy. I'll have to let CG know about it.
Hello Russell!
We are so lucky to live near the Great Lakes and enjoy world class fishing. I fish Lake Erie Tributaries for the big rainbow trout we call them Steelhead Trout.
I hate blood draws and my PCP orders them way too much and I always protest, but whattya gonna do.
The issue with the quad sounding like the Transmission slipping while going downhill is normal when one of the wheels starts to slide,
the sound is coming from the axle differential.
I'm a size 13 tennis shoe but for hiking boots they always seem small for the size so I wear size 14 extra wide and only buy Timberland Pro,
they are the most comfortable hikers.
Nice video and Happy Trails to you and City Girl.
Cheers.
Thanks Dino.
Did anyone else notice Russell opened the can of pizza sauce upside down and the other end had a flip top opener, no can opener required, LOL. Gotta love Russell!
Great fishing . I am from Canada and love a Hawaiian Piza
Nice video Russell. My wife and I been watching your adventures for the last year or so. I too am an outdoor guy. I spend a lot of time in the woods hunting and fishing here in Michigan. I see you are a music fan. Me too. Love most of the shirts you wear. Big Rush, Zeppelin, Who ect.. Keep up the good work. Maybe I'll check in on one of your Friday night live extravaganzas sometime soon. Pee soup✌
Thanks Mike.
From your Barrie comment and the grain elevators in the background it looks like you launched from Collingwood.
Yes indeed.
Cool fishing trip Russell.....good work on the Catching. Love the decoy guy.....so interesting how people get into certain hobbies or work. 47 years of learning and teaching about Wooden decoys, very cool. Also have a question for ya.....Attaching a second solar panel Array to a battery bank, there is nothing crazy I'm missing right? As long at the fuses and lines are done correctly.....two CC can feed the same battery bank right?? As long as each CC has it's own Breaker? Maybe not the right place to ask this question, LOL
Oh boy! Depends on the charge controllers, depends on the batteries (BMS). Do the CC's communicate to each other ie master/slave?
@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin old school AGM batteries. No BMS. No communication between the CC. Both mppt but different brands. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if I just connect two separate CC to the same buss bar if they will mess with each other. I OBVIOUSLY have done zero looking into it. Figured it didn't hurt to ask.
Nice fish Russell! We finally get to see you catch a nice one. I have my Phlebotomy certificate from years ago but i never worked in the field because after neck surgery i couldn't feel the veins due to numb hands and fingers.
Hahahahaha...... Richard you are a trip! Was the pull tab on the bottom of the pizza sauce can fake? Oh yeah, better check those new eyes on the duck, they might be spy cameras packed in them... 😂😂😂
It's Russell, actually. Thanks.
I've got 3 for salmon that are easy, take little time and come from the NYTimes. See my notes ** at the end of each recipe before cooking!
#1-Four-Spice Salmon by Mark Bittman Ingredients - 4 6oz. Skinned salmon fillets, S and P, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1/2 nutmeg, 2 tablespoons peanut oil, or other neutral oil
Season fillets w salt and pepper. Press the other spices (previously mixed in a coffee cup) onto both side of each fillet.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add oil and when it shimmers, place each fillet, coated side down, in the pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spice mixture forms a nicely browned crust. Do not overcook!
Using a spatula, carefully turn the fish another 2-3 min. Or until the salmon just slightly resists when pierced with a thin-bladed knife.
**This recipe gets 3,226 5 stars and rave reviews in the comment section.
Because salmon is what I call a “sweet” fish, these spices compliment the dish. If you halve the recipe, remember to halve the spices too. Not cooking times! Overcooked fish dries it out and it looses its delicate flavor. I sometimes leave the skin on while cooking that side first and remove it just after turning to cook the other side, rolling the skin off using a fork. If it rolls off easily, it’s ready to continue cooking the other side. I don’t care for the skin, my partner loves it!
Delish served with a baked sweet potato, rice or whatever you like. A salad too? Veg? But remember to start the potatoes an hour before you actually cook the salmon, as it takes so little time! Need I add that mixing you spices while the starch cooks, saves even more time? 🥴
I hope you enjoy this recipe. My next one I’ll write in a separate comment, we only tried a week ago, and WOW!! More challenging next to this one, but so delicious, too. Hint…coconut milk, fresh ging……… 😊
I am in complete darkness today.🇨🇦😀🥂 I know and understand your frustration. I feel it too!
Loved the ending and perfect music for the drone catch.
My wife laughed each time I showed her that part.
My first chinook was 37 pounds, but that was a nice fish. You will enjoy.
Richard, that's huge. We did enjoy.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin Mine was caught in ALASKA.
Love your introduction russell
I have a black German Shepherd male who will be 9 in January. I can't imagine a better dog he is just beyond protective Beyond sweet can't imagine never having any other dog with German Shepherds
I love you show! That beaver dam is pretty bad. Hate to see it taking your trees. The guy on RUclips post 10 might come and get rid of that. Not sure but wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for your videos!
Exciting fishing trip. I love to fish. Beautiful drone footage. As for blood work, I'm fine. I even watch. I'm less okay with physical exams. Hate MRI's--so noisy!
I remember when i was young i was terrified of needles. Well since i was 48 and started seeing Doctor regularly for bi yearly physicals getting blood work is a piece of cake if the tech is good. It can just feel like a pinch but no biggie. Vaccinations now i don't even feel. This surprises me because i used to be deathly scared of this. Oh and about salmon, which i don't know if you cooked yet. Try smoking it on the grill. Smoking salmon is the best.
Will try smoking next time, Joe.
Hi Russell, you need to clear those branches that tries to poke you in the eye, before winter comes along your road in/out of your cabin.
You can do it with your chain saw while driving. Love from South Africa.
I'm always clearing those branches. There will be more tomorrow.
like the new shirts!!
Something I can't find anywhere in the grocery stores in the Ottawa area, are Bick's Gherkin pickles. They've been MIA since at least the middle of June. Has anyone else noticed that?
I have blood tests every three months. I am mostly okay with them. One annual one I have to fast. Sometimes a little faint with that one!
Funny how us old people need so many tests.
Love the video 👍🇺🇸🙏❤️💖🥰💕
Glad you enjoyed it, Janine.
Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Russell you all did yourself on this video. Very interesting and the fishing trip was amazing. I love salmon.
Thanks Carol.
What a long strange trip it's been....✌
I think it’s the worberlater shaft. It just needs a half turn to the left.
Good to see Canadians are also not put off by the pineapple dose not belong on pizzas brigade,ham and pineapple pizza is great 😋😋🇦🇺
Hey Russell, my sister Laura and I built a brick pizza oven that how we cook ours. I don’t think we can share a picture on here! We usually cook 10 to 12 pizzas at a time. Great party with good friends 😊😊
I love the idea but I would rarely use it.
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin we use it with company mostly, and cooking meals it’s nice to not heat up the kitchen.
Love the sound of crunch when walking out there in the bush!! How’s your boots, Russell?
the should see that the safety seal is broken so they'll just through it away, i wouldn't worry about it
I had so many blood draws for surgeries, PET scans and chemo. I opted for a port in my chest so as to not have a line in my arm for 6hrs for every infusion.
Oh crap! Can you pour coffee straight in there? Seems like that would be handy.
Hi I’m what might be known in lesser circles as the raspberry rock silent majority. I have been watching for many years. The reason I started was because you admitted to being a procrastinator my brother lol . I have broken my mute is because I have noticed you are losing weight. congratulations and It actually shows. thanks for the amusing videos..👍🏻😵💫
Thanks for coming forward, Blue. What is your favourite video of mine?
Russell.. Russell Russell, Great videos. Thanks a bunch for fishing 👍 Ray? 👀
i always give my cart to someone or leave it for someone to use when i go to aldi to shop. some people forget a quarter or don't carry money only a card. but i have seen people push the carts in and take the quarters which i think is rude. just pass them along. thats my thinking anyways.
good show
You have a beautiful wood duck.😊😍🥰😉😉😉🙃🙂
Thanks. I work out.
Awesome video
When you were making pizzas and turned the pizza sauce can upside down, you could see the easy open pull tab on the can...you opened it upside down! Lol! I just thought it was cute!
Once I removed odour from shoes by leaving small cotton sacks with green tea for the summer inside of them.
All summer! Did you go barefoot?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabinchange your socks more often😉😉😉put bounce sheets in them
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin no, i used another pair, plus sandals 🤣
Fun times fishing!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Cool video...
Wow! Amazing people out there sometimes! Awfully nice fella,Steve, to give you the decoy.
nice of him to give me his duck.
I thought the Canadian government was giving out panels for free….maybe in certain areas of the country..worth checking out!
I think your hike beed a front CV axle.. thst would be my guess
Bkood work does not bother me. Koved the fishing clips, and the lake you were on was beautiful.
Russell hello.. Why do you need this stick on the front of the quad. Against cobwebs how do you go?
Cobwebs indeed.
I just have cart keys on my key chain I got them off amazon I have the 25 and 1 dollar keys so I can always use cart
What are cart keys?
My blood work is a necessary evil. As a matter of fact, I just had bloodwork done yesterday💉💉💉. It doesn't bother me, but I'm surprised as to how fast my blood is determined to fill up every vial in sight! I mean, hey.... I need some of that blood dammit!🩸🩸I thought she was going to put my arm in a cast, but for some reason she thought a Band-Aid would suffice. I thought maybe even one of these --->🤕, but she said my head was not involved in a blood draw .... who knew! I asked if I could be wheeled to my car, but unfortunately she saw me walk across the parking lot perfectly fine on the way into the clinic ..... these know-it-all phlebotomists these days🙄 Nice fish btw 🐟🐟@30:33 .... never saw a small bicycle lock🚲🔒 on a pair of hikers🤔🥾🥾As far as feet that keep growing .... were you born in a Shire, or have a touch of Hobbit history in your genealogical line? I'm asking for a friend🤣When are you going to build a new bridge over the River Kwai .... again ..... asking for a friend🤓? When you said you had a Wood Duck, I thought you meant a Woodduck😆 Anyhoo .... take care Russell & City Girl🐕🦺✌🏻Peace Out!
Just a thought, Mark's is now owned by Canadian Tire
Hey Russ, have you ever thought about stairway up to roof, instead of ladder? We aint getting any younger and may just keep you safer out there for the longer term.
Did any other Royal (RCR) see the plate on buddy's buggy? Pro Patria. Love the videos Russell
Had a great time at"Booxefest the other night!I did say lookout for a package.Went to the local pst office...its on the way!You should get it in a week.Please wait for City Girl to open it.I want to surprise her too!
Thanks for the donates, Brian. Will be on the lookout for the package.
I love BMT’s …..on Italian herb & cheese sub!, won’t change!!😉👍
A day in the life😊
My friend at school used to stink so badly. His mum put odour eaters in his school shoes. They ate him!!!
Back in the 90’s I overdosed on cheesesteaks!😮
I have had every kind of blood work. Even 36 tubes at one time. If they do blood gases on you that needle goes straight in your arm to your arterity. It took 4 times to get it. I didnt scream but I had tears running down my face. My husband just retired from the lab after 46 years.
Brenda do you enjoy nature?
I saw you fishing on Jarrens Insta and wondered if it would make to Ras Rock ! Should have wrote a theme song with the band boys.. I’ll take you sailing on Georgian bay sometime if you want..
That would be awesome. I love sailing.
What body of water were you fishing? Lake Ontario/1000 islands here.
Like your Irish tee shirt
Just curious why you use a can opener on a can that has a pull tab lid on the top end? Is it a Canadian thing?
Finally, someone noticed!
❤😊
I can sit up during an IV but I hate needles
I'm with city-girl on those needles I can't stand them and when I have to have blood work, both arms have to be strapped down or I start fighting, I can't stand the sight of a needle.
Nice video. Love your days around Canada. But pineapple on pizza??? Don't know about that... lol
Why not?
@@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin just can't see. Any fruit on pizza. Sorry just me
Pineapple great on pizza
Hey russell was that georgian bay
Yes it was. We put the boat in in Collingwood.
And that’s why I put more cheese as my last layer so the shyte stays put!😂🍺
But we also want to caramelize the pineapple and meats.
