Cabin Life: Unboxing Fan Mail in the Cabin with my Dog (Incredible Gifts!)

Description

I head to the Off Grid Pallet Wood Cabin with my dog to do an unboxing of the fan mail that I have received. You guys sent some incredible gifts and I am very thankful to everyone who sent me something! From the bushcraft and survival gear, to items for the cabin, as well as the personal letters and post cards. It was overwhelming....thank you! I will be back at the cabin soon and we have some more pallet wood building projects to do too so keep an eye out for those. Thanks for joining us on the adventure in the woods! - Mike

in here someone sent me something dodged oh they're like harrybo's I don't have one they're nice yet are you still growing around up there chewing sticks hmm it's a nice thin one wow this is cold someone's put some effort into this so firstly let me just show you something sent me some pictures of some kind of camp setups and things it says dear Mike and Graham I'm Owen and I live in Wrexham North Wales I love your videos and especially the bushcraft camp update series I just started a YouTube channel as wondering if there are any tips to kickstart my channel I'm trying to get permission to build a shelter in the woods but I'm struggling any tips thank you for reading this letter Owen Thomas age 13 PS if you get an opportunity please could you shout on my channel outdoors TT go and check him out guys gonna check out owners Channel hit the subscribe button outdoors TT we all have to start somewhere on YouTube go and give him a hand and here he's / I can't find permission to build a shelter in the woods yet so I decided to bring the woods to me and build it in my back garden that is a great idea I recently watched your camp update 14 and was inspired to make my own wooden hammer and here it is that is really good you know what that's probably better than the one I made to be fair that's awesome that's Owens wooden kind of mallet and here is his camp set up there he's done in his garden he's kind of brought some sticks set up a tarp and brought that back home that is awesome that's what I want to see guys that's what the channel is all about is getting people just into this kind of thing whether it's in your back garden or the woods or wherever doesn't matter you can learn the exact same skills in your backyard as you can in the middle of the wilderness you can still learn those skills some of them might not be accessible you know things like fishing and things like that and hunting you might not be able to in your back garden but bushcraft skills and crafting projects like that mallet and spoon carving and everything like that you can learn fire lighting you can learn that in your back garden in fact you'll get more practice in your back garden than you would in the woods say oh and thank you as for tips on starting your Channel and be yourself don't try to be something that you're not for permission I'm guessing because you're UK Wales it's very hard to get permission to build accounts and things like that if you can try and go to farmers local farmers and things like that they jet generally I say generally because not all of them do but they generally will have either a small plots of woodland or cops or something like that and if you ask them can I help practice can I do some practice and bushcraft and things in your woodland in exchange or volunteer and I'll help out on your farm I'm happy to volunteer and help for free and then that way you you know you're helping him and in return or her him or her is giving you permission to kind of camp on the land I don't know that's that's one way of doing it like split Owen thanks so much guys go check out his channel we're nearly getting a couple more from Geoffrey Hancock in rotten Canada I'm guessing this is Canada says Canada posts so something all the way from Canada shout out to the Canadian firms new phone oh look at that moose that is one really good photos a
