Wilderness Living, Exploring the Backcountry at My Off Grid Log Cabin Catch and Cook

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Finally I get a chance to explore the backcountry lakes and rivers around my log cabin in the Canadian wilderness. Join me, Doug Linker and Joe Robinet as we search for bass on remote lakes behind my off grid cabin, and catch and cook a mess of fish on the shores of a pristine lake and back at the cabin in the forest kitchen.

oh my. now I know what killed my beautiful Green Ash tree. I had no idea I even had a problem until it was too late. When I peeled back some of the bark there were squiggly looking lines all over it. I love nature and I love trees and wood. Lol, I even wanted to take woodworking in school, but they would not let girls take it way back then. I don't often comment but enjoy your video's. I would only be repeating what everyone else has said. But I had to comment on the ugly borer who is killing the glorious Ash tree. So sad. I wish I could have saved it, oh well. Thanks for letting me know what it was the got it.

yeah I know I'm 2 months too late with my comment > back in the ancient days. they kept the bark wet. They soaked it probably using a mineral or two. to make it even more flexible. i. e. Loggers dumped mercury in the pond where they soaked the logs to make them swell before shearing for ply-sheeting. . this ain't rocket science and I don't recommend poising the environment like the corporate assholes have done > but I do recommend speaking with some indigenous peoples. I'm sure they would be more than happy to tell you how to get it done. naturally.

I am undecided on Linker, he seems like a whiner to me. does he only know how to carve one thing? I like Robinet a whole bunch more! I watched the video of you guys working on the long house and it really seemed to me that Jim Baird was really irritated with him! I think I will not be following Linker anymore and I will stick to You, Shawn, Robinet, and the awesome Baird Brothers!

Will the bark come off aspens like that? And would you use aspens to build a log cabin. Probably dumb questions, but. Please advise. Thanks, bk

I like the pans youve got but if you can find some old ones with wooden handles then you dont have to wear gloves. Up to you- I dont cook over fire though. The enamelled cast iron is great too if you can find it. Thanks for video. You are an inspiration to many!

I was in Canada in 1984. Long ago. Water was dead from acid. It broke my heart. We went up to Wickwimacong. water dead there too. I hope your lake is not dead. Trees were dying from acid as well.

That forest opening may introduce disease and full forest demise. Especially if a new tree like Maple takes over. Maple always takeover but don't space out properly, just grow very fast when can.

Great video! While Im not at all a fan of treble hooks, at least mash down the barbs so not to damage the throwbacks. Barbs are barbaric and needless if constant tension is kept on the fish.

Sorry I haven't been watching your videos for a while but I've been saving them to my watch later. I do have a question Shawn, Could you use some of that Ash as boards for building things?
reply

Still trying to figure out of that was crown land that backs into your property or the parkland that you talked about with Joe that borders or is close to your land
