New Bird Table & New Fire Starting Method



My brother made me a beautiful new bird table and the birds are starting to get used to it of course when I had the camera set-up it was just chickadees and as soon as I took it inside a large flock of doves arrived. One of my subscribers who also uses Bio Bricks for heat told me how he lights his fire with out kindling wood so of course I had to give it a try.

Blizzard # 3



We just had blizzard # 3 in a little over a weeks time. The video starts with a short time lapse taken before dark, most of the blizzard was in the night. Then a walk around on snow shoes and a drive up to Welshpool to see all of the accumulated snow.

Thirty Centimetres More



More snow we got 30 centimetres more over night so I've put on my snow shoes for a walk around and to add seed to the bird tables.

January Bird Table



I have had a few requests to do a longer video uninterrupted or edited of the bird table so this is in reply to those requests. If you are not interested in birds this one is not for you. The video is two longer clips taken on the same day and I just let the camera run so you see the action as it unfolds so to speak.

Winter Hiking


Out for a hike on one of our milder winter days and I decided to have some hot soup ant tea heated with the little camping/hiking stove that I just bought from China. It is an amazing piece of techknowledgy as you will see I have no idea how they can make it and sell it at this price point. This is a link to the one that I bought:

Cabin off grid Solar Project Update



Just wanted to show you the solar equipment that I bought recently. Now I'm waiting for better weather so I can start installing it. If these links work this is the things that I purchased from Harbor Freight. The prices shown are higher than what I paid there was $50.00 off coupon for the kit for example.

Winter's Night at the Cabin



A winter's night out at the cabin. A cold stormy night but cozy and warm in the cabin with the wood fire burning. Back by popular demand so to speak. My videos from the Cabin are always very popular and I get many requests to do another winters night in the Cabin video. Towards the end of the video I tell a story from my experience of walking the CAMINO DE SANTIAGO . I have done a couple of these walks and if that interests you these links are to a slide-show and some videos taken on these walks.
