I was looking up homesteading blogs a few days ago and came across one that I found very interesting. I can’t seem to find it again, which is a shame because it had some really great content. If I remember correctly, it had a set of rules to live by if you decide to live […]

Cabin People
I found a few really cool videos on Youtube yesterday. I’m going to post them for you below, but first, I want to encourage you to watch them. Don’t just look at the pictures of them below – take a few minutes and watch them. While you’re in the bathroom. After your wife or husband […]
Digging Out After the Storm
These weather reports – they’re enough to drive you crazy. I swear I’m preparing for the apocalypse. When it’s dark outside, I fear the worst, but when the sun comes back and I get to see all the freshly fallen snow, I don’t think it’s possible for anything bad to happen. That is, until it’s […]
Finishing the Wood and a Backup Heat Source
I was hoping to move and split the wood this morning, but other issues took precedence. All I was able to do this morning was to move the good wood off the pond. I wanted to get it all (the dead stuff at the top of the tree), but that had to wait for this […]
Another Maine Winter Storm Warning
It seems to be a common occurrence these days – to get a Winter storm warning on my phone. I swear, it’s more often than not. I just got another one. First, a Winter storm watch, then a Winter storm warning. This one is calling for heavy snow tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon into Monday morning. They […]
The Verdict on the Green Supreme Wood Pellets
This is the second part of my “Green Supreme Wood Pellet review.” The first half, where I basically told you that I bought a ton and had put part of the first bag in the hopper is here. Okay. Are you ready? Here goes. I think these pellets are almost identical to the Maine Woods […]
Down Come the Birch and the Maple
Today was one of those days that just might pass you by. It’s a day where you wake up, do some stuff, do some more stuff and then realize that it’s dark outside. Then, you eat and go back to bed. Winter has many of those days and if we aren’t careful, we’ll end up […]
First Maine Christmas
I woke up this morning around 7:30, which really isn’t all that early. I usually get up at 10:30 though – because I fall asleep so late at night – or morning. Laura and I began cooking dinner past midnight because we ended up getting into a heated conversation about something. I’m not sure what […]
I’m Worried About the Snow
It’s twice now I’ve tried to explain to Laura that I’m worried about the snow. “What if we didn’t go far enough North? What if we don’t get enough snow?” I’m not sure she’s too concerned about how much snow we’ll get and I’m sure she knows I’m being facetious. It’s just that the snow […]
The Ice Storm That Almost Was
I’ve been getting weather alerts on my phone for the past two days. They’ve been warning me of a gigantic, horrendous, magnificent ice storm that’s going to completely cut us off from the civilized world. What we once knew, would be gone. I know I’m being a bit dramatic here because the warnings weren’t actually […]
