Snowed in at our Remote Off Grid Cabin in the Woods 

Keep warm, stay happy. I'm happy to see another video. Keep them coming.

Boy oh boy! that reminds me of a drive through Fairbanks when during a snow storm the snow came down sideways... May God Almighty watch over ur family!

In early spring, before everything melts, try to get to the Tahquamenon Falls. Spectacular when frozen !!

Glad your ALL safe be careful out there. Keep us posted eh!!!🤗❤👍✌

Great one you all. Thats quite a bit of snow. That Jeep is a beast. Happy beaver, chill and just snacking away. Stay well you all. Cheers!

And I thought I had it bad in winter snow, 100 ft. of unplowed gravel drive way and 200 more feet up steep unpaved gravel road to top, had to cut "some" trees and roll them out of way and then 300 feet down unplowed paved road, all told not even a half mile and I thought it was tough! I had no idea what tough was!!! Chad, I really admire you, that's Tough work!!!!

😲Snow...work, work, work! 👏Love your videos, keep them coming!⛄🎄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄🙋

Holy cow! Looks like winter there. Now if you could just send some of that my way please. It reached 75 yesterday. I'm so surprised by our weather here this year. It is so not normal. Keep dry, warm and safe, y'all!

I’m glad you and the family are safe!

Thanks for your videos. Love your humor. Wow I may hate politics here in Texas, but at least it’s not SO cold as UP. What heroes you ALL ARE. Five STARS!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice video but I think I'll stick with my cabin in the woods in Va. Admire your family's determination it's a hard enough life even before the snow.

Hello, I hope you are well, I really appreciate what you share week by week. It is very inspiring. God bless you.

Chad, you win Father of the Year 2021!!!! The rest of the crew wins Wife and Daughters of the Year 2021!!!!!!! Hopefully Time Magazine will pick up on this! If they don’t you guys are still my heros. Now get some Hot Chocolate!

Wow y’all must have got 2 feet of snow or more glad your safe love yaw all 👍👍👍👍👍👍and animals too

I love winter and love snow but that is extreme. Honestly I would have stayed home until spring. Keep your courage, winter is just starting. Take care.

I love the quick smile Naomi gave you when you climbed back into the truck (6:21). I think it was like, "Yay! My Knight In Shining Armor" slayed the dragon...again!"

Gotta put glass protector cables on the truck! Run grommets through the front of the hood, and some above the windshield (roof rack?) then run some thin steel braided cable between the two grommets to make a windshield protector. Keeps low hanging limbs from hitting your glass when the snow is on them!

One of the best things about being retired (now) at my cabin in the woods is I don't have to plow snow and do all the chores in the dark before I head to town to get to work. Sweet. At least your sub numbers are getting up, maybe soon you can be full time at the cabin thanks to youtube. Thanks for sharing.

I love to watch your videos, they are so relaxing for me. I lost my husband last year and it has been very hard. We had 52 years together. I am lucky because I have a beautiful large family and many grandchildren, 66 to be exact. I enjoy them all so much. I love watching the interaction with your awesome daughters. They are all amazing. I hope you have an amazing Christmas and may the Lord bless and keep you. I love the way your little place is looking and you have it warm and cozy. Your food you made looked amazing.

Another great snapshot into your daily living experience. I just can't imagine that much snow. Thank goodness you know you way around trucks.

I have to say, young man, that I was getting a bit worried when you didn't post last week...made me wonder if you, your lovely wife and those beautiful young ladies had gotten "blizzarded in" up there! Nice to see that the homestead is keeping you all warm and safe! And I have to say, after watching you trek out in the snow.....I do NOT miss the snow one bit! Living off grid would be awesome....except it would have to be in a snow less area for me! I'm hoping you and your family are ready for the upcoming holiday season! God bless you all and be safe up there...beavers can be mighty feisty!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Oh my dear friends! You all are made out of tough stuff! Having lived in southwest Michigan for two years while I was in graduate school I thought we had seen a lot of snow. What we experienced down in the lower portion of the Wolverine State was NOTHING like you are experiencing! My hat is off to you in respect. Please stay warm and safe. We love you and pray for you!

I'm glad y'all are safe, much love from West Virginia my friends.

Excellent video , always a pleasure to visit with you again , thanks for sharing , God bless !

💯% respect for you guys. There’s not many who’d put a days work in before they’ve even gone to work. Great post Chad, showing how it really is living in a cabin in the woods..

Glad you're all doing well! Thanks for the video, that beaver isn't in any hurry! 😀👍

Missed y’all love y’all as well worried about y’all but family together is family strong - keep your post coming always watching I check daily ! Stay strong 💪

You are right, gotta love Winter. Glad you made it through, hope getting back home was a bit better. Blesdings

THANK YOU FOR THE *REAL* NOT SO GLAMOURS POINT OF VIEW OF OFF-GRID/CABIN IN THE WOODS LIFE... GREAT VIDEO...

I think it's fair to say a lot of us, including myself, fantasize about this lifestyle and never think about this type of situation. God bless you and your family.

Life is always an adventure!

I am glad to see you have kept your sense of humour.

The fact that it is a difficult life... I salute you and extend your hands

WOW! Not complaining about winter weather here for sure!!!

I really love your shows, they are very relaxing to me. I lost my husband last year after 52 years and it has been difficult. Your family is wonderful. Have a merry Christmas.

Wow you all have a lot going on. What a trip to work. I feel for you all. That’s a lot of snow

Honestly you are all amazing. Thats tons of snow. I'm happy you can humor about this! Love you all and 'Merry Christmas' up there. ❤️🎄🌟 Stay safe and warm! 💝🎄Grams

Dude! Regardless of how challenging that was for you, there is no better way to live. I'm from Wisconsin (we're down south in the Blue Ridge Mountains now lol) and we have many exciting stories we tell about our Wisconsin adventures. We don't regret it at all and our kids don't either...... Just another adventure..... Keep on keepin on Brother!

Work work work. That was a fun ride..!! All that yanking… 👊👊 the beaver was cute. Have a great week you guys..

Wow great job!!! The Upper Peninsula is no joke in the winter! Been living in the U.P. since 81. Nothing like the wood stove after shoveling off the roof! We'll be praying for you guys so the beaver doesn't dam up your trail! I found if you can befriend a beaver, they come in handy for cutting firewood!

Legit backwoods cabin life! Beautiful country 🤩

Power out here on the shores of Lake Michigan today...Good thing you guys do not worry about that...Always an adventure in the 906...

I just happened to come across your channel and I've started watching all your videos.I have enjoyed them so much and what a beautiful family you have..you are truly blessed. Can't wait to watch more!

Fold a old piece of roof tin in a L about 2-3’ long. Fasten a long aluminum or what’s available handle to the vertical part of the L. Stand on the ground and slide big 3’ chunks of snow off the roof.

It's an adventure! You've got some grit! 💕

Oh my goodness. This is hard core. You are definitely resilient Blessings ❤️🥰🙏

Glad to see your all safe. That’s a lot of snow. So far we haven’t had to shovel the roof this year yet. Stay safe and warm. We’re getting thunder storms tonight with 80 mph winds. There have been tornadoes popping up from these storms. Crazy weather.

I took my girls up to the Keweenaw peninsula for about a week and a half and was thinking of you guys. Especially when that wind storm blew through. I’m glad y’all are safe. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Yeap... wouldn't be like a cabin in the woods without the white stuff in the winter..Stay safe and warm...and Happy holidays my friend 💞

I use my doggie Poppy for a pillow too when we’re both exhausted and hit the floor. We got 12” snow here in Ms last winter. Rare! Had a blast! I gave myself first place in the old lady division for playing like I was 12. Send me snow Chad,Naomi and girls or I can just come up there.lol..I could just sleep with the goats since I’m an old Billygoat myself! Love y’all and Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Holy wha...Now, THAT is work. No question, and what a ride out. Holy wha. I hope ya'll are fine after this last blast! 💗

I just love that for some reason you know their is a way of it. Its definitely not something you just do. great video! their is always apart of me that just loves it

Hey Chad, Girls and animals! Just catching up - YT never told me there were new videos!!! The nerve of them!! It's looking like winter out there!! You are the most fun Dad ever!!! What a challenge getting to work!!! 3 hours later!!

What amazing scenery on our tv. All of us would love to venture along your wild driveway and sit by the fire and have a yack with you guys, we will bring a meal and some home brew to entertain you guys. You are so relatable, like mates. Really awesome footage.. catch you next time Jake & Rebecca

Hey bud......I say Bud...because honestly I don't remember your name. I have watched your videos a couple dozen times......maybe even prior to your brook and Dave shout out. I say this only because at first your videos didn't reach out to me, they showed promise and it was obvious that you are a hard worker and making things work was your style. As your Michigan Neighbor.....even if I'm what you might consider a Troll......I have to say your perseverance has reached a new level. My travels from my off grid cabin poses challenges, but in comparison, You make my one mile venture seem like a walk in the park. Long Story Short....I want to offer a showing of Respect....you deserve it and even though I am a nobody to you....please take it as a true compliment.....from someone that makes it work but on a smaller scale. Good work to you, your wife, and your girls for pushing forward. Best wishes

Hi Chad, what an awesome job you are doing. I thought I had it rough with power outages all week here in the Ottawa Valley, Ontario. OK, you win. You and Isaac looked quite comfy having a snooze, Love that boy. Take care and God bless.

Fantastic video...thats some REAL deal backwoods stuff there.

A cabin in the woods, best work out ever.

I can see where it would take it's toll on ya'll out in the cabin in the woods it's beautiful place ya'll put so much work in that place. I know you're new homestead is gonna be a lot less stress on you and I bet you're bride and the girls are loving it also. Thanks for sharing

Reminded me of being snowed in on grandpa's homestead. Dad had to fashion a rear mounted snowblower on the Deere model R to blow the dirt road just so we could get to the gravel road. If the gravel was drifted too high we went home and waited as many days as it took for the plow to clear the drifts. Not great in medical emergencies and we had a few.

Just a light dusting huh, LOL. Merry Christmas ya'll and a Happy New Year! Stay safe and warm, May the Lord continue to Bless ya'll and may His face continually shine down upon ya'll and be gracious to ya'll.

Wow !! You have quite the winter wonderland up there buddy ! Glad you're all safe. Send some of that snow on down to the lower.

HEY DARE YOOPERS!! Only two seasons in the UP thats winter's coming and winter's here. I left my saw at home once and had to back up for two miles after a big popular blocked the trail. Valuable lesson learned. I pray you have a very merry Christmas and a properous

That looked like a very interesting trip! Good window into the life in the woods, and glad to see you made it out.

so glad your safe.......... great job on being snowed in lol hugsssssssss

Even through all that work of removing snow and getting out the next day, you all still managed to keep on smiling. Thinking of you all. Xx

Wow I can't believe how much snow you all have. It was in the low 70's today in Central Iowa. We so far have only had a tiny bit of snow and it mostly melted the same day. Stay safe and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Oh my to see that car journey in the snow surely reminded me how remote you are ! How beautiful … no wonder you have taught tooth and nail to get your place in a suitable living state for you and your girls … well done on your journey thus far 👍 🙏☘️😘

You were scaring me. All you guys are brave.

Awesome thanks. Your family is so darn entertaining

When we built our cabin we did it so you could park a fully loaded truck on it, no worries 👍. We have never shoveled it, it slides off, don't be underneath when it comes down. And always bring the chainsaw and a set of chains for the truck. Every snowfall is an adventure.

That’s like going through a car wash lol great job guys! Please keep warm love you all

Love seeing your videos. Wish you posted them more often.....🙁

Great video homeslice! I'm an outdoor RU-vidr from Northwest Washington... Huge shoutout to you guys! Keep grinding! I hope the new Year goes in your favor!

Iam in the south of Canada and we got snow.but not like you did .makes me want to go snowmobiling, there .be safe,when shoveling the roof off .hi to the wife and family.

Hey dare yoopers continued I fat fingered the last comment. When i was about 10 I went to the farm and as we pulled up to the farmhouse there was a door on the second floor with no stairs. I asked about it and learned that they put a ladder up there in the winter and climbed down to snowshoes and across to the hayloft then climbed down to milk the cows and waited to be plowed out. I used a homemade snow scoop to clean my roof off and made a little bobsled trail for the kids to play on. The roof was a 2 and a half to 12 pitch and had two feet of snow on it. Last winter here in AZ we had 12" one night. My neighbor called and asked if I was OK but I told him this partly cloudy were I come from. Anyways, have a prosperous new year and keep those videos cranking. Have a pasty eh !! GOD bless you and your family.

Thank you so much for not using your wife as clickbait!

Great vlog; thanks for sharing! Many blessings for a great Christmas season to your family. In central Alberta, Canada, we have a lot of snow so far. We’re in a cold snap right now but are used to that kind of winter (I’m in my late 60’s & remember when we didn’t have warm boots & ski pants to keep warm😉). Snow cover is great insulation. You do have to work hard there, too!

Sending good vibes!!!

لم اشاهد فى حياتى الثلج ابدا واتابع كل فيديوهات واتعلم منك الكثير محمد من مصر تحياتى لك

Brook would call that a dusting 😆 jk i haven't seen snow like that around here since the blizzard of 1978😳stay warm and safe ❤🙏🙏to you two and the girls✌

Very enjoyable video sitting here in the mountains of Hendersonville North Carolina with a temperature of 64 degrees. I think your channel should be called. Welcome to real life off grid LOL. Love your channel and videos. Marry Christmas. Be safe and be careful my friends.

Oh my gosh Chad , I have never had to shovel snow off of the roof . I don’t envy you , but I do like the snow ❄️ not that deep lol. Merry Christmas to you and the family , time for hot chocolate and a fire. I pray you make it to work safely . 💕🙏💕

Hopefully y’all got plenty of firewood laid in .🤞 supposed to be a bad one this year.

just good ole morning fun!! geezus, i guess at some point you guys are planning on widening the road, maybe some gravel added to that lil lake in road, and a plow? but even though its a pain to get in/out you're getting it done and i still see you all smiling. when everything is said and done, you guys are gonna have one hell of place you call home. also i love seeing those subscriber # climbing good stuff.

That’s a good amount of snow, hope it wasn’t too wet and heavy😝. Curious if you get much lake effect snow up your way🤔. Mad props to you and your family for continuing to push forward through the tough times💪God bless 🙏

I’m not sure if you know this or not … but you all are completely and totally off grid. My gosh you got a lot guts . Thinking about you guys up there in the U.P. and even saying some extra prayers.. man that’s a lot snow!

Thanks for video, enjoyed it so much! Southern Michigan has NO snow 😞

Wow, we get snow in Plainfield township BUT nothing like that. I don't think I have the fight to live that remote. WOW.🌸🌸💌

The first thing I thought of when that winterstorm went through the UP was .... Damn I bet Chad and his lovely ladies got a PILE of snow. I stand correct in my thinking LOL. Glad to see you made it look easy and said... To hell with a saw! Im doing it the Off grid.... aka "I forgot my saw" way!

My thoughts are with you on this Holy Sabbath day!Happy Sabbath to you believers!

Looks beautiful, but in the UK if we have 1/2in of snow the country goes into hibernation. Keep warm, have fun and God bless

Wow looks very cold 🥶 hope you and family stay warm .

Loved seeing the beaver. You can keep all that snow. I don't want it here in Oklahoma. Lol Seeing it is fine as long as I don't have to get out in it and I can stay warm. 😀 God bless y'all and stay safe.

Glad your all doing well after all that snow. I thought about you all when we had 17 inches of snow dumped on us. And that wind was horrible. My hubby spent most of one day at his folks in Manistique taking care of down trees on there property. Merry Christmas from our family to yours. God bless. 🤶 🧑‍🎄 🎄

Wow that's a lot of snow. Stay warm.

Beautiful Snow. great video.

Pretend like you are working. THAT CRACKS ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw a tool from a Russian video has an L shape thin metal head for cutting the snow on the roof, it seemed rather efficient. Remember Louis L'Amour said that "adventure is a romantic word for trouble." I hope the adventure makes a good story. I am praying for y'all. GOD Bless and Hold Fast. Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. I have had a lot of experience. Stay safe.

Stay safe out there!

watching from Utah, sending good vibes!
