Val D. Kemp
Step into the enchanting world of a former city-dweller who once ventured alone into the wilderness - now joined by his family in embracing a more serene and meaningful life in their beautiful, historic log cabin nestled in the woods.
After years of sharing solo bushcraft and wilderness adventures, I’ve taken my love for nature even further - restoring a 100-year-old cabin with my wife and kids, and trying to reconnect with the land in deeper, more intentional ways.
Journey with us through heartwarming moments filled with laughter, simplicity, and purpose, as we document this new chapter of slow living and rustic restoration.
Whether you’ve followed since the forest trails or are discovering us for the first time - welcome to our home in the woods.
