One of my favourite channels on YT. Great video as always. I really like how you keep things simple. No 4wheeler or fancy gimmicks (not that there is anything wrong with that) I like simple and old school. Thanks for taking the time to make a video. Regards Mark

Got everything you need right there!

My husband and I have visited and love Ely for many years. It a pleasure beyond words watching your videos. You have created a wilderness paradise. Kudos to you and all your blood, sweat and tears!

I NEVER miss one of these when I see it in my feed! I just love 'em!

Always a pleasant surprise to see a new cabin video. Thanks for taking us along, Martin.

It's good to see another video. Welcome back to the cabin and thanks for taking us with you.

This old Michigander is having a great time watching the Northwoodsman's adventures.

New subscriber. I've binge-watched all your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them all!. Living vicariously until I can retire...

I have the same thoughts when I turn the last corner and see my cabin - awesome it's still there! Too funny, enjoy your time in paradise.

Just found your channel... I wish my dad was still alive. Watching you would be right up his alley. What you do, repurposing free found things and fixing & creating things inexpensively reminds me so much of him. Thanks for bringing him back to me. Great job on all you do!

Martin, your videos are so restful. Thank you again for sharing your time in the woods :)

Thanks for taking us along...I'm still impressed with the work you did on the foundation and other task around the cabin.

Great to see you back after ages. "Welcome!" Your videos are an inspiration, someday I plan on doing the same thing. But thanks for taking us to your cabin, thanks for taking the effort and the time to make these videos. It's always a joy to watch your videos on the cabin life. Wish there was more!....... Thanks all the way from India!

Glad to see you again, almost feels like home after watching all you videos. ......over and over. I have a pasture 30 miles from my home and have been spraying musk thistles. This morning it was over cast, 80 degrees and no wind. Felt so good taking a relaxing ride in my RZR and seeing nothing but grass and hills for miles and miles. Great it is to be alone away from all the rat race. Just injoying nature........often makes me wonder what Heaven will be like. Then I watch you videos and remember. .....the Northwoods....that's heaven!!!! ☺.

Your videos take me back 50 years to time spent with my grandfather in a cabin similar to yours. Like you, he used to find ingenious uses for things he found such as the metal you put around your cupboards, and your kitchen shelf. I have enjoyed all your videos. It feels like spending time there in Martin's Cabin in the North Woods. Thanks for putting these out. You have no idea how they brighten up the day!

Needed a good "burp"......love it! Another great video!

I look forward to your visits to the cabin.

Glad you are back, I really enjoy your videos. I can't wait until the day I do the same thing. Raising a family now but long for the simple life. Thank you.

I am glad you are back and looking forward to more vids thanks.

We really enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you.

Glad to see you posting videos at the cabin for another season. Love your cabin and love the practical set up to bring a little comfort to the back 40.

It's good to have you back at the cabin. Always enjoy your videos. Just wished they were longer!!

So excited about the new video got up at five so I could watch before work, and wasn't disappointed like a visit from a friend.

Just found this great site. So glad I did. As I was watching and seeing what a knowledgable man he is makes u wonder when this generation is gone what will the current generation do? Most of them cant handle much beyond themselves. What a treasure this man is.

I am so happy you are doing another video. Thank you!

I love your videos, and look forward to more of them. I am the same way, why spend money, (in my case I have none, lol), when you can make or fix something with all the stuff that you already have or collect along the way, invent a solution to everything! Love seeing others do the same, it's slowly becoming a lost art, but now with technology, I think we can bring it back, young folk are now becoming more resourceful, because hard times are coming, and more and more are becoming aware and learning, thanks to folks like you recording your efforts. Thank you for sharing this ~ Stay Free People!

Very nice indeed.....thanks as always for taking us along!

I can't wait for more vids! LOVE your channel and can't wait to see the new window in!!!

It's good to see you back at the cabin!

I've always like this channel mainly because it's so remote it's a outdoors mans dream come true! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🚐💨💨💨🌲🌲🌲🌲

Hi Martin! Nice to have you taking us for a Spring visit to the cabin. Good to see you there again, enjoy your visit!

Very nice video. I always enjoy you and your cabin in northern Minnesora.

Martin, you're an extremely cool old dude, I really like watching your videos! You're in great shape to be hiking in summer or winter, impressive! 👍

So good to see you and the cabin again - Thanks for sharing this with us!

You make me smile. :)

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing this special part of your life with all of us. The simple joys of doing something good that you love comes through loud and clear. Keep up the good work, kind sir.

Thank you for sharing with us and inspiring us wannabe Northlanders. Your work ethic, love of nature, and self can-do spirit give us hope. Best regards. J.

I love you cart, that’s so clever! What an amazing cabin. I really enjoy watching your videos.

Always look forward to your videos,full of good information from an intelligent man,thank you

Martin, love your videos. TY!

You've got it down to a science. 👍

Welcome back Martin. Great to hear from ya buddy.

Thank you for the nice video. Be well and safe.

good to see you again . was beginning to wonder if we lost one of the better channels on u tube . love your videos . you remind me of my dad , he would have loved your cabin . hope to have one of my own soon .

Good to see you back this year. From Denmark.

We love your updates. And you have taught us a huge amount of useful information.

Excellent seeing you again! I finally got started on my own "piece of heaven" cabin. Should be dried in at the end of the month, and get to start enjoying it!

Nice to see you again - great vid.

I sure enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing the north woods with us.

You sir live quite an incredible life! Congratulations and much respect.👍

I'm always so happy when I see a new video from you in my feed! I wish you made them more often, haha.

just come across your channel mate .your absolutely resourceful man going to be fun watching your videos

Nice to see you back. Have missed you.

I love your cabin. If you keep maintaining it properly it should last another 100 years.

Very nice videos! Thank you for taking time to do it all

good to see you martin...looks just amazing there...

You sir .. are the MAN ... and dig the old Coleman cooler !!

Welcome Back Martin. I was worried, you haven't posted in a while!

So excited to see you're well and at your cabin,can't wait to see all your projects,have a great time.

Well sir, a few hours ago I started with #1 and now I'm here (#21). There's still lots of in-between posts for me to watch 😊. I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your videos! I've often wondered (yes, often!) how mankind worked so hard to "tame" the land and spent generations creating creature comforts and easier ways of doing what must be done...and now that it's pretty much been tamed and all of our creative comforts are available at our fingertips...rather than being satisfied at our ingenuity...we deeply crave being back where we originally started? It just ironic that what we had IS really all we truly needed. Also..just to share..I was a single mother of two boys for 7 years. Wasn't the plan, but that's life. I worked some hard physical jobs (basically men jobs for better pay..welfare used to be avoided if at all possible. And I did avoid it) But the point of my story is...I bragged about being able to eat all I wanted because I literally worked it off! No gym needed. And I was proud of that! I joked about it all the time. I was PAID to work out! No gym or trainer needed. It's not rocket science!! I believe Americans would benefit on multiple levels if physical labor was brought back to the norm, for both genders (there is ONLY 2!) . Anyway...I'm babbling Thanks for the wonderful videos! .

God has blessed you with a little slice of heaven.

This is my happy place. Please make more Martin. I like being happy even if its vicariously. thank you.

Nice to see you back at the cabin, I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.

Great seeing you back in the cabin ,Keep the videos coming.

Ohh, I just began watching your videos and the first one I watched was #21, I assumed you were in Alaska. Northern Minnasota, another great place for wilderness and one of the few places you can still find wilderness. You are a lucky man. Enjoying your videos thanks for making them.

Well, this video just made my day!!! I've been wondering when you would check in with us. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos.

precisely my plan for retirement. we will keep pur home, its paid for. the cabin was existing on a homestead place we purchased some years ago. i will continue fixing the cabin. my wife will enjoy the home in the city. i will enjoy the cabin. hopefully this joy of a place will add years to my life that working has taken from both of us. love your place. wish we had more flat land.. ours is 13 acres all heavily wooded. and atop a large draw.

This may sound greedy, but I want more of your channel, lol. Longer videos, more per day, lol, I know that would be hard with all that hard work that you have to get done there. I want to see every part of your day, you are so good at everything you do, even producing and narrating videos! I will watch, anything you put out on here, you should have way more subs! Stay Free People!

I just stumbled on your channel. I binge watched many videos. I enjoy seeing your setup process and routines. It makes miss the outdoors. I hope to have a place of my own one day. Keep the videos coming.

Great job Martin really good to see you at the cabin again. Cabin is still looking great.

Your effort is awesome and over the top. Your new cabin foundation work was inspiring. God Bless.

you gave me some good ideas for my little cabin for me and my kids thanks for sharing this from Manitoba Canada

You bring a little comedic relief to your videos and not many others do .Great job .

Great work. lived 50 yrs around Sterling Il - want to see more of your adventures as I approach retirement.

Martin... you made your own little paradise ..enjoy with your full heart and lungs...! I just enjoy watching your video.! Thx for sharing! :-)

you sure have a nice spot for your cabin ---------- the path to your home away from home is sure attractive ----------- I know i'd have fun just training those jays ------- i'm sure you'll have them "eatin' outta your hands" in no time" -------- thanks for showing us your daily chores and the beauty of nature that surrounds you!

Love your cabin vids Martin!

Your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch, so glad to see you again. Now I need to go back and rewatch your videos to refresh my memory. I'm sure others will do the same, kind of a tricky way to get your views up : - ) don't mind being tricked like that. Looking forward to the other new ones. ATB Thank you

je comprends pas tout!!!! mais les images parlent d'elles mêmes! un bel exemple de courage et d'ingéniosité! merci de cet exemple qui m'inspire!!!

Nice cart you made there great idea works awesome enjoy your videos when ever i run into them .

That bmx bike cart is so awesome! The cabin is really great too!

NICE CABIN STILL WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S EVERY MORNING WITH COFFEE!!!!

As a native Michigander living in Indiana, this makes me a little homesick! Your videos are really one of a kind. Thanks so much for sharing your life, that's no small effort on your part. It looks like a pleasure for you to share. the nature is the draw but it's really your perspective and attitude that strike me. It's just uncommon mild mannered good spirited wisdom in action. I watched all your videos after seeing 30 below and now I'm taking some evenings to sit with my son of 7... here's a man he can learn from. How not to be bored with trees. Contentment. Kindness towards animals. How to do hard work well. Everywhere neat solutions. For me, this experience is a small antidote to what life in civilization can sometimes be reduced down to. It's like being a child again, to take time to care for things softly, without an agenda. I salute you sir... & may God grant you many years! (Ps, for the statistics I'm a millennial, I know I saw a comment about that - and as far as hard work I frame houses with the Amish. It's an unique experience for sure)

good job my friend! great video. ATB -Yves

Thanks Martin, stay safe. Looking forward to more videos. Peace, Dave in Boston

Always enjoy watching your videos. Your a practical man.Always a little gem to be found in your videos. You can soak your outer clothes in pryrithene ( yes I know I misspelled it) It will help keep the ticks and chiggers off you for a dozen or so washings

welcome back Martin. I look forward to your videos. They are so informative. And Interesting. I'll be watching for updates. God Bless
