Log Cabin Life: Alone with my Dog in the Off Grid Pallet Wood Cabin

Description

I head to the Off Grid Log Cabin in the Forest to spend a night alone with my Dog. The Log Cabin build is still continuing, but sometimes it is nice to just spend some time alone in this rustic tiny house. Taking my dog to the cabin in the wilderness for the first time was so fun. With the woodstove burning, candles lit and my dog by my side, life was perfect. The tiny house felt rustic, cosy and it was my hygge. I am still striving to learn how to live off the land, foraging for wild plants and edibles, growing my own vegetables and becoming self reliant. I can use this off grid cabin as a shelter and base where I can practice living off the land and use primitive technology, learn Bushcraft skills, improve my survival skills and my self reliance.

Learning how to cook is something I am currently focusing on. In this video I do some cast iron cooking on the woodstove, grind my own coffee beans and take time to reflect. I fell asleep to the hooting of owls, and the wind through the trees was a big ASMR trigger for me. It's still winter outside, but in the Cabin was cosy and warm. Sometimes I think living off grid in a tiny house seems much easier, away from the daily stress of life. I hope you enjoy this video.

you know out loud first time I've ever had hot chocolate and it cooks er I have to say it this place is quite unique it's getting clumpy they didn't stir it very much so today you may have obviously noticed that I've got my dog Jack's with me this is Jack's no he is my little Jack Russell dog he's my best buddy we do loads of stuff together go on lots of adventures camping just general dog walks and everything like that he is brilliant as you can see earlier he's a bundle of energy

he doesn't really tire much when we do big bit we can do massive massive walks you know most of the day I've taken him up to the mountains up in the Lake District walked all day with him with Emmy my wife and he's still not been tired but they're very very loyal fiercely loyal very protective and loud for a little dog but um yeah I'm here at the cabin as you can see gonna spend the night alone with Jack's up here he's never been here before this is his first time at a cabin so it's interesting to see sort of you know he's exploring it so it's all quite new to him but so far he seems to really enjoy it anyway he's getting a bit sleepy where we've done a big walk earlier he may have noticed this well that I've actually got a drone now from some of the aerial shots that I was doing that was pretty much the second time I think I've ever flown it I've had it about a month or so now I've just only practiced that one time and then so yeah what you see there is pretty amateur stuff for me but you know hopefully it came out well anyway so the plan tonight is obviously you've got my hot drink to have got some food to cook got some beer got a bit of whiskey we're gonna chill out it's gonna be awesome how you enjoy the adventure so I have bought Jax's dinner place see you guys are wondering I just keep him in a little pouch this is just a canvas pouch which is his dry kibble bag I do give him wet meat as well but I haven't bought that with me today so he'll be fine on the old pips got him being a Jack Russell he's not very fussy with what he eats yeah buddy no battle dusk is approaching just everyone knows from the previous overnights I did here I love myself some butter just make keeping it simple today bread butter cheese a bit of ham so butter a bit of grated cheese on it yeah this is high in cholesterol don't worry luckily I do loads of exercise so she'll be able to burn that off no problem

quite blood that the cost the larger cars for an iron panel have this is cast iron been using it for a while glad it actually it still fits on the G state say that's impressive given the nuts I think the 10-inch one yeah variety of sizes I prefer I like cooking on cast iron I do it a lot home just yeah you've got to maintain it a little bit more but it's actually I find it cooks food through a lot more nearly done sort of if you can see this gold and brown underneath toast it on top slightly taste it on top golden brown underneath it is so Jax isn't really looking at me enviously now he wants this boy here wants this boy oh he does this is basically my typical lunch that I make at home to be honest guys when I'm doing all the editing it's just a nice quick ham cheese butter simple job done you've had yours you've already eaten me yes hmm yes is very good you know oh I'm actually nearly full already these are so filling Sophie look jeez oh jeez boy it's like the perfect crunchiness as well absolute nailed it he's dribbling drooling everywhere I don't blame you this looks way tastier than your dry kibble oh well empty plate says it all went down a treat promise Jax didn't have any I promise of course it has to be it has to be bottle of innocent gun arguably the best beer certainly in the UK what I like about innocent gun it's all like barrel aged beer that's aged in like all old but bourbon barrels and whiskey barrels and rum barrels and things like that so it has a real unique taste like a whiskey beer taste that's really nice so this one is the Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale version so this one is my favorite it's the original comes in and hefty 6.6% but innocent gun dude I'm not sponsored by them how cool would that be a beer sponsorship but Cheers me drinking on a school night again cheers guys
