OFF GRID LIVING | Cutting, Splitting Wood For My Cabin

Firewood, cutting, splitting and the endless task of feeding the wood stove to keep my cabin warm in the Canadian Wilderness.

Settling into the swing of things at the cabin now. It's been a week since I was dropped off by the ski plane and my wood supply is dwindling day by day. The extreme cold temperatures I experienced at the beginning of this journey (as low as -38 degrees C), required a lot more wood to keep the cabin heated and I haven't had a chance to replenish it until now.

I am fortunate to have a "lifetime" supply of dead standing wood adjacent to cabin property. The good stuff, with the bark off and drying over the last few years. This stuff is silver and bone dry on the inside. It's the best wood available out here in the Boreal and will provide the heat necessary to see me through the coming nights.

With average temps in the -30 range, I'll go through this much wood in about 2 days......crazy when you think about it. My cabin is insulated as well!

It's an endless chore, but one I look forward to. There's no such thing as bad work up here in the forest and swinging an axe and using the saw is rewarding.

This day began with heavy snow, finally subsiding by mid day but the winds really picked up. You can see the Spruce bending at some points in this video.....does the wind ever stop blowing?

Thanks again for checking this one out! Enjoy the weekend everyone!
