Off-Grid Tiny Cabin in the Winter Forest E.1 Nighttime - 23° Snowmobile Access & Tiny Home Tour + Big Trout!

It's almost dark out as a forest access road leads us through the Haliburton Forest to a parking area, our snowmobile in tow. We're headed for an off-grid tiny cabin in the winter forest that we're renting from @cabinscape3933
The kids are sleeping and it's - 23° outside as we load up out toboggan and drive the snowmobile off of the trailer. It's pitch black out by the time we're loaded up and have all our winter gear on. Soon, we load the kids onto the snowmobile and head out for a 4km ride into the cabin. The trail was well marked and we have been here before. Our Husky dog north ran behind us as we rode in. We'd wanted to get there while it was light out but in the end, doing it at night was a great little adventure.

Settling into the cabin we soon cook dinner - moose steaks but we butch the job up pretty good, unfortunately, it makes for a funny scene though. The next day we get ready and trek through the forest and onto a frozen lake to do some ice fishing for Trout. Tori and I set up some lines and we have a fire on the ice to cook some hotdogs. Pretty soon, a nice Brook Trout hits and Tori lands the beautiful fish. After hanging out on the ice for a little while longer, we pack up and head back to the cabin to enjoy a nice fish fry for dinner.
