This man in Northern Canada is spending time alone in the woods. He's working on a cabin, cutting trees, eating delicious food, and watching northern lights. It gets even better when his girlfriend and his dog join him.

Hello from Southern California! You can get the stovetop sparkling clean by making a paste of baking soda and water and letting it sit for a bit. Add some Dawn dish soap and a little white vinegar. It will foam up, and you can scrub off all the burnt-on residue with little effort. In fact, it practically wipes off. I hope this tip helps!

For years I’ve told my son to always keep a lid next to the stove when frying. A couple weeks ago him following my advice saved us from a grease fire. The pot caught fire and he put the lid on…end of story! Love your channel!!!

BAM oven cleaner does the job here in Australia, to clean that gas cooktop. You spray the BAM on, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then you do your scrubbing. After, you can use a vinegar/water solution to clean the metal surface from the other impurities. Not sure what u have in canada, but bam is ; Ingredients: Water, Dipropylene Glycol Propyl Ether, Isobutane, Potassium Carbonate, Ethanolamine, Smectite Clay, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Paraffin Wax, Fragrance. Contains fragrance allergens.

To clean the stove: make a wet paste of baking soda and white vinegar. Let it sit on the burnt on crud if it dries out, damp it with more vinegar. Use a scratch pad/sponge depending on how bad it is you might have to do it multiple times.

Man in Cabin…….use a wooden cutting board instead of a plate to cut something….use COMET to clean the stains on the stove…then clean it every time you use it. I have a 1950 Chambers Deluxe High Back Yellow Gas range…it had been used from 1950 to 2001 by the original owner before I bought it in 2001 and I have been using it almost every day since.

Good morning Jay just thought I'd drop a comment. So we had a little rat terrier about the size of your dog when we moved from Hawaii to Washington State up near the Colville National forest. She loved being outdoors and stuck around the house outside when we would be working. Every once in a when she heard something she'd go barking at it. So then one day she heard something and went barking up the hill into the trees. It was only maybe 20 ft and all of a sudden The Barking quit and she was gone😢 sometimes little dogs think they're big and it must have been a coyote or a cougar or something like that we also have Bobcats around here. But it only takes one time. So now we have a new puppy 5 years later and it's a little Yorkshire Terrier ❤ this time around we will be keeping this little munchkin close to us and either in her little yard or on a leash. It was heartbreaking to have lost a beautiful friend and a service dog in just 3 seconds.

Crystal picking up that mouse reminds me of helping a friend of mine clean out her fridge when I was around 12 or so. She had one of those fridges that had a big drawer on the bottom. She told me to take it out n sit it on the back porch so I took it out n went to sit it down n my hands n arms started itching.... I looked down n my hands n arms were full of these huge maggots. I had never seen a maggot before. I started screaming like a girl, my friend started cracking up. I probably washed my arms 4 or 5 times😭🤣😭. Loved the video Jay. Tyfs God bless you

We use our log sleigh to haul wood to our cabin. Its made by my father but there are also factory made options. It can be converted to ordinary sleigh to transport goods, and for the factory one you can just add a plywood on top of it (make sure if you desise to get one that you dont get the one which is linked whit chain. That is only good for long and heavy logs.) Its heavyer than sled and whit heavy loads you need pre driven path, but you can load much more wood on it and it dosen mind rocks and stumps. In your situation that would be my next invest. Great videos and love to see more.

Put plastic wrap on top. This will keep the spray stay wet. Let sit for several hours or even overnight. Remove plastic wrap and scrub with Scrub daddy or steel daddy( steel daddy lightly). You can also use a scrapper to remove any spots. Wipe with microfibre cloth. This is Aurakatarina’s cleaning method and I have seen it clean some pretty nasty stove tops. She is a youtuber.

I grew up utilitarian in the north, helped my dad logging, and started 4 successful tree services. Hard to believe a Sthill outdoing a Husqvarna. What happens sometimes is that an operator will put it in the ground, dull the teeth (maybe sharpen improperly), burn the saw up, buy a new saw with a new chain and it RUNS GREAT! lol Sthill have many small, plastic parts that can break in the wilderness and leave you far from the saw shop. But, to each their own. Is that a lake under that snow? Wonder what kind of fish swim under that ice. Cheers

FYI: Old french fry oil is not healthy! It contains "advanced glycation end products" These are associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, and likely cancers. Reusing some things like bacon grease is ok, (although bacon has its own issues) but use fresh oil for fries. Still not entirely healthy...It will still have some AGEP but much less than the reused stuff. Use the old fry oil for a lamp or other non-food use preferably outside.
