Every time I look at the cabin, I think of your dad. What a wonderful gift he gave you, knowing his hands had touched the home you can pass down to your daughter and the stories you can tell her.♥️

Yours is a special channel. Family time mixed with outdoor living and cabin building. Good on you.

I love the way you become one with the land and let it always be about family. Making memories.

In the last episode I said that my Dad, a forester, would have been impressed with how you fell the tree and that he enjoyed watching your cabin build. He would have been just as impressed with how you fell this tree, but more so how you use what you harvest. He loved how you harvested your own timber and processed it with the sawmill to make lumber for the build - he was a carpenter as am I as he taught me. He pointed out your connection to and respect for the land, the trees, and how you are caring for the forest by thinning it correctly and then using the materials respectfully. The forest provides for you if you care for the forest! Your father and my father would both be proud how you care for the forest. God Bless and Take Care!

Good seeing you today sir. Trusting that your bride’s health has stabilized. The lighting storm images were awesome. Wishing you and your family a blessed spring season filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother.

Mr Outsider, it was interesting to watch you perform the tasks required to make authentic maple syrup. Glad Mrs Outside and the Little Outsider were able to enjoy it with you. 👍👍👍

Thank you for another enjoyable video at your family's cabin. For those of us who don't know the full process, would you ever consider making another video with the footage that gives the details of the maple syrup making process? Things like how to tap a tree properly, what equipment to use, what you're looking for when boiling the sap, and proper temperatures you need to hit and for how long. Thank you again for sharing part of your life with us!

What a nice way to spend with your family! Thanks for including us! 😁❤

This Cabin is a very special place. Seeing it completed, I remember watching you work with your father, which is a seldom fulfilled dream in today's world. But when I see the inside, to me it becomes a testament of your Love for your wife and family. for her travails, and for your joint reliance upon God and his Grace to see you through it. The notion that you would share this with us astounds me. It is precious, and personal, and a ministry of its own. She is in my prayers, as are you and your daughter.

What an arduous process and you end up with one jar of maple syrup that obviously is like “gold”. Incredible to watch the process… Beautiful family. Thank you for sharing all that you share with all of us.

I cannot help to see your father as you stand in the gorgeous cabin.

Your daughter surely is blessed to be able to have these experiences, and growing up in such a wholesome environment. Lucky girl!

I bought some pure maple syrup and my mother came over for a visit. We shared a love for good food. I served her some syrup , and she knew something didn't taste right. She told me it tasted like creosote. She was right. She added that whoever made it didn't know what they were doing . Take care and enjoy the simple things we sometime take for granted.

Hello Outsider again and family! Glad your daughter could join you and your wife. You two are great mentors for her. Also was grandpa as I still see his face in your videos. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful thunder storm.The lighting was spectacular ✨️ You are an excellent narrator my Christian Brother! As always God bless you and your family from your very long-time California subscriber 🙏 🤲

Wow! Those storm clouds you captured were amazing. Always a pleasure when your family makes an appearance

Outsider, What a joy this video was. From snow and wolves to your sweet family enjoying a day boiling maple sap down with you. A lovely tribute to your father as well as I imagine him drinking the maple sap coffee with you for years.

I added reverse osmosis to my maple sugaring process a couple of years ago and never looked back. Even at the amateur/hobby level, squeezing 2/3 to 3/4 of the water out before starting the boil saves so much time and fuel.

Spring will be here soon and you and your family will be able to enjoy the outdoors on the deck where the birds will be able to watch you. Warmest regards to all!

The gopro shot on the tree was money and I can only imagine how good the syrup is!

Can't get enough of your videos. You have a wonderful way of narration. God bless you and your family.

The Outsider always gets a thumbs up from me! Be well Mr. Outsider!

A good feel episode .. thank you so much. May God bless you and your family too 😊

If the porch you build is half as good as the cabin I'm sure it will it be beautiful as all your work is. God's blessing upon you.

I made syrup for a few years-The wood fire gives it a smoky flavor that steam-boiled commercial syrup doesn't have.

Mr. Outsider, each video brings something else to be in awe of! Again, your tree felling skills are otherworldly!! The tasks you take on you do with such great proficiency! I love your videos! And to think...we watched you build a small fire and not even use a butane lighter, instead, opting for the old timey way! You have my deepest respect! Blessings!

My mum died in 2015 and (strangely) I thought that she’d particularly enjoy this episode… she, like your dad, would have REALLY appreciated all the hard work and effort you put in… your dad would be super proud.

I can't tell you how much I look forward to seeing your videos. Its become a Sunday morning tradition with a nice cup of coffee :). I'm excited to see where the build goes this year

That was a really lovely video with the cabin being used for the family and as a base for home-made products - the maple syrup in this case. Also, it was so relaxing to see the cabin being used for family but to hear also of your intended projects for the building season. So enjoy your careful stewardship of the forest and also of your family. As an artisan, husband and father you are doing so well and we trust that God blesses you in every venture as you also stay close to Him.

Great content, like usual. Really enjoyed seeing you be able to share family time at the cabin while making syrup. Those memories are the best. Mr. Outsider is proud of you as he watches down.

I love everything about the cabin, both inside and outside, except the inside stair that stands in the middle of the floor and is so steep. It is well done, yes, but I had moved it to the wall and buildt a repos or landing and a stair from the landing close to the wall and up and the other half of the stair, down from the landing(?). Put a rail/banister on both stairs, that will NOT be steep and much more safe for you all, especially for your daughter and below the stairs, she can have her "place" with her things, a table and a chair too and not least, much more open space in the living room too. Have you consider something like this? Love and light to you all.

As always, everyone loves a little cabin time.Thanks for sharing great family

Hey, awesome video clip on making maple Syrup . And it was nice to see everyone. Every place on the maple syrup taces different. And awesome job on making the syrup. Anyway stay safe and sound and take care and god bless you all 😊

What a wonderful tradition you have of making the maple syrup together! The things you will pass on to your daughter that you learned from your Dad and Mom and family are the most beautiful memories and lessons learned! Thanks as always for sharing the cabin with your viewers it makes me very happy to watch and catch up with you! Stay well, enjoy summer!

At 57 and off grid alone with my shepherd in Colorado, we love your channel.

A cedar bush is the best place to be on a cold day - the trees block the wind.

Amazing video my friend....so informative about the art of making maple syrup .....the fam is looking good.....I hope their health is the same.....cheers my friend keep up the good work !

Always Always Always such amazing videos. Can’t wait to see the plans you have for the front porch. You stay safe as well my friend. Many blessings to you and your family. 👍😎✌️

Kudos on felling the tree. Too close for comfort for us amateurs. Looking forward to front porch.

Whats gonna be really cool is that years from now, your daughter will be able to come back to these videos, and see how this place that she grew up coming to was built. I hope you have backups of all these videos somewhere as well to keep as a record for that Also, something about Maple Syrup Season being a whole family affair that yields a tiny tiny jar of like heirloom quality family Maple Syrup feels like the most Canadian thing I've ever seen in my life. It's like a national stereotype ringing true in such a prideful way, Like a father getting his son his first rifle after taking him out to eat fast food in America. Or a British family going on vacation to one of the former crown dependencies to go drink tea together.

It’s great to see you and your family enjoying the tradition of making maple syrup at the cabin. Senior Outsider would be proud of all the great work you did on the cabin. Peace be with you and your family.

A great relaxing video with you and your family. Always a pleasure to watch with family.

Always good to see your videos , I hope your family are doing well , especially your lovely wife with the problems she has had .. I know it is hard but you do in many ways have a blessed life .. please continue to share with us all your story and journey, I’m sure many many of us are behind you , you really are inspiring 😊🙏

Good day to all, peace and joy. I love the snow Sean, it warms my heart.

Nice thanks for sharing with us. God bless

Love watching a storm come over the mountains

really good to see you again outside! the job you and your dad done there at your cabin still simply amazes me!

Thank you for sharing. And thank you to your guardian friends with you. They are lovely.

That cabin is a work of art! Its been an amazing journey over the last few year watching it turn in to what it is today!

The cabin always looks so inviting, the detail and the love you and your father put into building it. Beautiful and thank you for another great video!

Watching your videos always humbles me and also calms me. So glad to see you and the family enjoy what you and your dad labored so hard to obtain. God bless you all.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us , I hope everyone is doing well ! 🙏

So good to get another video from the outsider! Lovely that your family was with you overnight this time. I now know how maple syrup is made thank you! 😊

I sure do like that espresso pot! Always good to see one of your videos arrive. Good job, felling that tree. YAY, you and family enjoying boildown, with the comfort of that awesome cabin! Your daughter has really grown. I was expecting her as a toddler! I have given up sugar for honey and maple syrup.👍🇨🇦😎💫🙏

I just got notice of this video today, 4-25-24, 14 days late. Better late than not at all. 😀 Thank you for sharing with us the process of making maple syrup. I always wondered about that process. It was nice to see your wife and daughter there with you! Your daughter sure has grown. I always love to see your videos. They always bring me a sense of inner peace! All the best to you and your family! 👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😀💕🌸

Chickadees and Red Breasted Nuthatch are my favorite birds and I feed them all winter in Northern Idaho, USA.

Great video again, lovely to see your wife and daughter. Psalm 128 :1 and 2.

Oh the memories! I recall years as a teen, collecting sap with my family, boiling it down in our tiny sugar shack. Then as a father, I tapped trees with my oldest son...we were able tp get a bit over s gallon. Your daughter will cherish this memory, for sure.

👌👌👌👍🍀Alle Gute für Sie und Ihre Familie

Ten gallons of maple sap is one gallon of maple Syrup real Canadian and they make more than every other country ! It is so good !!!

Your Cabin Home is Beautiful and So Cozy. I'm sure your lovely wife and daughter love spending time there. Your Dad would be in Awe of how you completed this Beauty. The porch will add another element to the overall look. Will this be an Open or Enclosed porch?? Hug your Family and Stay Safe!!

I always love watching your videos. What a blessing it is to have this special place that you and your family can come to. I remember when I first came upon your channel it was to watch how you made pine tea… I’ve been hooked ever since. Watching you and your dad work so hard on this beautiful place and now seeing the results where you can spend so much time with your family. That is such a blessing. I’m praying your wife is doing well. I’m excited to see what the next adventure brings. May God continue to bless you. 🙏

Mmmmmh ☺️ and I still cannot get over how beautiful your cabin is! When I find it hard to go to sleep, I imagine having a cabin like yours in the woods and what life would be like living out there in nature in such a great place, works every time ☺️👍🏻 Of course, I leave out the physically demanding parts 😉🫣

For later use, we used an uncooked egg to clear the syrup prior to removing it from the main fire. You can clear it as many times as you want, the egg collects a lot of the ash and other particles. Once removed we strained it before finishing. For boil over prevention, we used a white pine whisp (small limb, many branches) to dip into the pot about to boil over. Settles down immediately. Last time I made a run I got a little over 4 gallons. A lot of hard work and patience.

Nice to see a new episode and it includes your wife and daughter! The maple syrup cooking during the boil down was almost detected here at home. Thank you for sharing. Your sponsor's products and order procedures sound intriguing🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

Great seeing you and your family enjoying the cabin together. All the years of hard work and you can finally enjoy it with your loved ones. Fantastic video, already looking forward to the next one. God Bless you my brother!

What a wonderful experience, it is a labor intensive process but the finished product is so delicious…like no other. Your adherence to protecting nature is impressive as you build this beautiful getaway home.

You've come along way since the $500 cabin build. I've enjoyed seeing you build up the cabin, the good times, and unfortunately, some bad ones. I'm sure your Pa is looking down with admiration. The cabin is just looking wonderful!!! God bless.

My brother and I watched you all through covid while we were lad up for three months sick. My brother passed this past Christmas Eve just like your father did. I was so glad he was able to see the cabin inside finished. He loved watching you. You did a beautiful job!

Such a beautiful episode as always! The shots you are able to capture are nothing short of captivating! Love seeing Mrs.Outsider and Little Outsider joining in on the Maple syrup process! Well done! Your knowledge of the forest and all your skills are always so impressive . I can’t say enough about your narration. So peaceful and calming. Always such a blessing to watch . Looking forward to all that’s ahead!!❤

Oh it is lovely to see your two loves enjoying the cabin and the woods. What a great family day you made. Well done.

I was so excited to see that you had posted another episode!!! I was just getting ready to go to bed when I saw that you had a post so I stopped to see what you were up to!!! I knew I couldn't wait until morning!! :) Your making maple syrup brought back "sweet" memories of my growing up - my mother would tap several of the maple trees that lined our street and she would make maple syrup on our kitchen stove! I grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania. Thank you for sharing!!! God bless you and your sweet family!!!🥰🙏

It is truly a special occasion. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us. God bless you 🙏

Wow! Just amazing! You’ll have Maple syrup for the year, the good kind. Your family cabin is stunning and ever so cozy and warm. You can the love that was put into its construction.

Glad to see you and the family again.

A very educational demonstration of what is involved in making maple syrup. I didn't know how much maple sap was required to make such a small amount of maple syrup. Now I appreciate the cost of real maple syrup. It was also nice for you to have the family share in the experience. I look forward to your building season projects. Thanks for sharing.

It was nice to see the family, especially Mrs. Outsider. Please know this cancer fighter is praying for your cancer fighter! Gittem' Girl!

There's nothing like pure maple syrup, wish i knew how to make my own. The imitation stuff just doesn't cut it my friend, may god bless you and the family and thanks for sharing

How ya doin' Brother Outsider?! It was delightful to hear the sounds of your daughter playing outside the cabin. Mrs. Outsider's looking well I might add. It also was pretty cool to watch the maple syrup boil down. Looks like there's a lot of water content in the sap that needs to be boiled off. Psa. 116:7! 😇🥰

SWEEEE-EEEEEET!!! Nothing like the pleasures of a 'simple life' eh? Thanks 4 sharing...Health and Blessings to you an' yours!

We had a lot of Box Elder trees around our house . They are in the Maple family so that is what I boiled down for syrup. It was great! Good to see your family together at the cabin! Greg

❤ God bless you, yours, & Everyone 💪 🇺🇸 🙏 Prayers include you always 🕊

What a great family tradition.

Wow, just listening to your voice and watching everything you do on the property, to the cabin….is so relaxing! Your channel is one of my favorite channels to enjoy ! ❤

That maple syrup has to be good!😮. What a nice tradition for your family!❤

Love watching the happenings at your cabin! I remember watching you and your Dad build. Yum Maple syrup. Well! Hello Mr. Wolf. Wow! That thunder cloud lightening was beautiful! Great videography!

Nice job on that Syrup boil! I’m sure there were many thoughts of Senior Outsider while you were spending time out there with your family. The cabin is just spectacular! Thanks for sharing!

Watching you start the fire was amazing. You made it looks so easy.

I love your videos, they are always the best! I love seeing you having family time it’s awesome to see you enjoying what you love, stay safe Outsider Family ❤️❤️❤️

What a wonderful example of family love ❤❤❤

Family time is always #1! Thanks and take care.

I do Look forward to watching yall make yourselves many, many wonderful memories in your awesome cabin. God Bless you and your family.

Only Up north in Canada can you see a Lightning Thunder Storm like this in the Winter time !!! Thanks Oh so much for that footage !!! Yeppers it is Maple Sap time for us all but in Northern Illinois it is past us by big time like last year !!! Glad the family is there with you !!!

Well done, loyal and faithful servant that harvested and melted down maple syrup. Y’all daughter I get big and bigger. Happy Springtime and your next build.

Another wonderful episode, missed you brother, God bless you and your family, Amen🙏👏💕🇬🇧
