It Finally Happened... 

Thank you. Life in the woods always has challenges at times. Like I said, it could have been much, much worse. Thanks for watching.

Yes it could have been much worse. Thanks for watching.

Yes it was. Never know what to expect from nature but this wasn't as bad as it could have been. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. Yes nature is a powerful beast at times. It could have been much worse for sure so we can count our blessings on that. Thanks for looking for the jacks. I'm sure we will order a couple and replace them this spring. Appreciate you viewing this with us.

Thanks. Just trying to catch up on some footage we have. This was a big job but it turned out ok considering how bad it could have been. Thanks for watching.

Yes hard work for sure and harder when you are by yourself but sometimes that is how things work out. Also when you retire, you have the time when others have to work. Life in the woods. Thanks for watching.

It was a big job and long day! I think we have that coming in a future video. Thanks for watching.

Life at the cabin! Never sure what awaits you when you arrive after being gone for awhile. Hopefully all the damage can be repaired easily. Good luck and thanks for watching.

It could have been really bad if it had happened on labor day with folks staying in the camper. Count your blessings at times I guess. That is life in the woods. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.

I am cutting every balsam on the property now because of the budworm damage and most trees are dead or dying now. That will reduce the risk of blowdowns and also fire. The forest is changing in the northwoods at a rapid pace. We just need to adapt when that happens. Thanks for watching.

Felt pretty old after a full day of cleanup. Just need to work through the pain sometimes. Yes that would have scared the s**t out of me! Glad you liked the video.

Can't even tell now that the storm came through except for the fact that there are less trees standing at the cabin. We still have a lot of balsam to cut down from insect damage. I want to try avoid anything like this from happening again. Always something to do in the woods. Thanks for watching.

Yes we were. If this had happened on labor day it could be a very different story with maybe some very bad outcomes. In light of things, this was not bad. Thanks for watching.

Thank god for that! Everyone safe, minimal damage and life goes on at the cabin. Thanks for watching.
