LOVE WAKING UP TO You and Alley❤ JOHN deserves to find true love, he is a keeper. I love how free he is!!! I hope he finds true love soon.❤ I wish we could see more of him in your videos. I know he’s your best friend. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are very talented. I love your homes. I am a mountain gal. I live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Donna here, I spent vacation in Loveland, going to Estes Park, and then spent a winter in my 20s working at Keystone. I would have stayed but the cost of living was OUTRAGEOUS, even back in the 80s! I love it there.
Just wanted to plug, that Beam Dream cocoa helped me overcome 18 YEARS of chronic insomnia! I've been drinking it since December (I got in on the black friday sale you promoted). It is worth every frikkin' penny!!!! I can go to sleep WHEN I want, I can actually have a sleep schedule instead of waiting (sometimes 4 days) to be so exhausted my brain could sort of shut off. I roll over after about an hour, then again two hours after that, I sleep like a rock for 4-5 hours, and often roll over once more for another hour or 2. I'm actually dreaming! I was never able to get into a REM sleep! I had prescription medications that messed me up and depleted my body of GABA and then my body no longer knew how to make it. I'm hoping that the Beam will help with that too. It's a miracle for me. I'd fully forgotten what it was like to wake up feeling like I'd actually slept, and then to go through a full 16 hours day and not be exhausted at all! I'm refreshed when I get up, I'm more alert. My moods are more level and I'm getting healthier overall with losing weight and not having so much stress! It was killing my adrenals let me tell you!
This is my favourite Sunday treat watching and listening to you@the snow and your winter wonderland stories, we don't want spring just yet.... but.. Change will come as the seasons, turn theres no holding that back,, just please not yet❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ 💋
I remember going out on winter mornings in WV to see how trees I’d seen hundreds of times had been changed by the snow and ice. It was if all the artisans at Fenton Glass had shown up and worked through the night to create a perfect glimmering masterpiece.
Great wood splitting life-hack right out of the gate. Glad you got at least run in on your stix. Great to see John again. Godspeed and good health to all. 😊🙏👍🏼
Great episode! This one brought back the easy pace of the earlier days. Golden hour is pretty amazing up there. Unfortunately, it looks like climate change may have given New England a little preview with that unusual mild winter. Forecasts are suppose to hit record highs everywhere again, this coming season… at least you still get to wear flannel shirts for awhile. Beautiful environment though, small towns, woods, streams, mountains and big open fields. Hope to get up that way before the clock runs out. You folks have made a good life, a nice home, a cabin, cars, tractors, good friends,… your hard work is paying off.
Beautiful! I can see why you love it there! And you are so right, “change is the only constant and it’s what keeps things fresh and new.” Well said. ❤❤❤
Thanks again for another great video. A great place to call home. Love the flowing water over the rocks, the woods, the openers, the sunsets & rises. All the beauty of nature around you. Am envious 😁. Keep enjoying & I'll enjoy thru your videos & remember my memories when I used to live in northern Maine. Looking forward to the next one
My Dad used to take rope and tie it up before cutting it up way back in the day. The old tricks they knew back then. And I'm right there with you on the lack of snow, we need good snow fall for wells and for the water table in lakes and streams. Plus keep the bitting insects away!
Hi, Ally and Kyle! Even though you didn't expect a lot of snow this winter, there is so much that you accomplished to mild winter. Perhaps next winter there will be a huge amount of snow. Until then, take care. From B.B. 😊
Yall are the quintessential salt of the earth, good people who live in the rural areas that span all across these United States. Our way of life is slowly slipping away. I dont understand why anyone would want to live differently. I also live in a rural part of the States, MI to be exact. Thank you for shining a light on the beauty and simplicity of Rural living. You have an amazing gift for telling storys with your camera and commentary. Thank you.
These videos keep me sane through the incubator of california winters. I grew up in the woods with seasons and anytime I'm missing it this does the trick. Thank you thank you thank you. Really love the editing work too, everythings on point. Don't ever stop.
Especially nice with all the activity. Wonderful video. The water in the streams and the ice are beautiful. The woods open in winter. Getting all that Ash! Jon working without gloves. Guitar playing to the very happy Mowgli. Hope you still get snows and good spring rains. We need them here in southern Colorado. Huge grass fire in the Panhandle right now. May this year be good to us all. 🩵❄️🐉
I thought I was going to have to wait till next week to feed my Trout & Coffee addiction no withdrawals this week! The drone shots just fantastic!! and to let you know I cracked a new J.Kerouac book this week Desolation Angels. Thanks as alway's Kyle to help keeping me sane down here in Florida..👍📚🍻🌄
love to hear it Rick! I love desolation angels, such a good book. I'll have to get another kerouac going soon, it's been a while. Hope you're well, Rick!
Love your videos, they make me feel at peace and that helps me because I live in a very stressful place where people don't have much empathy for their neighbors and sometimes there is a lot of noise all day. Greetings from Monterrey, México.
Thank you always for your amazing visual and audio storytelling. It is truly encapsulating. I know your books will be too. Your life fascinates me, and my dreams expand through witnessing your journey. Keep living passionately!
Donna here, just catching up. You make living in the north look so inviting. I have one question: Have you written a book, if not, why not? I started watching your channel for the fall color videos, but got invested when you had the trouble with your off grid cabin. (What horrible people!!) All that to say if you wrote a book, I would so buy it! That trick with the ratchet strap could be in the chapter about living off grid without wearing yourself out. ;)
We've been having tulips and daffodils poking up through the winter snow here on Cape. Although I always wish we could get some more snow for the season, I'm excited to already be seeing early signs of Spring. I'm enjoying the slow pace, finding solace in warm blankets, hot coffee, and admiring the barren, tangled tree branches. But I'm really just itching for warm weather adventures again..
I found your channel in late August/September, put them in order & watched them from the beginning (my OCD wouldn't "allow" me to skip around 🤣). You brought such wonderful memories for me whether it was watching the sepia hues of those reel-to-reel home movies of dad teaching me to swim in our Atlantic ocean backyard of Beach 59th, Far Rockaway; or learning to crank up (& drive) dad's Bug then being gifted the '64 Falcon (& in my infinite 15 y/o wisdom, wondering why learn the stick then?? Because if you can drive a stick... you can drive...ANYTHING😉)... through inspiring my creation of unique walking sticks for our first fall cabin (& first Air B&B EVER!☺️) getaway to the N. GA mtns & trail walks to just enjoying time w a kindred spirit. But it wasn't just that as much as it's the wood burning stoves! I remember the day dad bricked up the fireplace in the '32 Cape Cod fixer-upper he & mom saved up to get us into in '75. Dad worked w a wood cutting father & nephew side business after his shifts on the LIRR. So 3/4 of our backyard was always stacked. I'd help weekly w rotating & seasoning the cuts throughout the warmer months, always prepping that 'lil 2.5-3 foot cast iron workhorse for that first nip to hit early September which always signaled the prelude to 'hunkering down.' That little reliable beauty kept that house snug all the way through my brother's enlistment & my eventually venturing out on my own after high school. I can't describe how absolutely DELICIOUS of a feeling it is to sit back when things are a bit rough and challenging and have these memories to rely on and take me to a simpler time. I've commented in many of the videos that I could watch compilations of just the wood burning stoves! Then you sharing about the 'town' brings us to our own 'battle' trying to maintain our acreage where the deer and wildlife have found refuge from the bulldozing that further encrouches on their habitat (we currently have a FOURTH car wash and yet another coffee drive through which, after only 5 months, has already got a 'for lease' sign in the window...but took out five acres of mixed foliage including hardwoods😕) We'll be looking to relocate to the mountain ridgeline along the TN/GA border where nature is not only appreciated but fought for (at least for now). Thank you for genuinely expressing how wonderful and joyous simplicity truly is. Less really IS MORE!! ~Best to all!
I believe John has started a new fashion trend in the Hills !! Lovin the tow chain necklace !! Mid Cape had a beautiful snow event ..first one this winter a week or so ago . Gotta love a good snow storm !!
Heyy just remember Alot of animals snuggle into those stone wall areas in the branches and leaves for the winter 😊 Thanks for another week in the boondocks, so beautiful 😍
Kyle another good video Excellent drone and sunset images . I saw you cutting wood with your buddy John. Did anyone ever tell you’re not to wear 2 different color plaids at the same time?😂 You are got nailed with snow compared to the Boston area ,congratulations on selling the Range Rover so quickly. The only real constant is time it’s always going.
Great video! I was wondering if you changed cameras or maybe editing style. It looked a bit different this round. Then again I could be wrong. Anyway I really enjoyed it. Thanks 😊
There was a moment halfway through the video when you were talking to John while cutting the logs and you could really see a flash to the future of the two of you being old friends after a lifetime of knowing eachother. So nice.
I'll take the mug w an etching of him (well, mainly his hair is what I LOVE 😆) the mayfly fluttering just out of reach of a jumping trout, and Bertha the chicken on the back of the mug🥰
We are having the same non-winter winter here in Michigan too. Kind of nice but disappointing as well. Thanks for making videos for us, love the cloud drone shots in this one.
Maybe you should go to Alaska for the winter. There is more than enough snow there for all your activity’s. 😂a little rented cozy cabin. You could make beautiful videos there.
In PA, I am saying the same thing. It feels like April and not February. Snow, rain, and then mud. We only had a few snow storms and the snow did not last long.
haha i'm honestly still in awe about it.. there's plenty more to get. I think i've got 5 or 6 chord stacked up by now.. at this point the pile is about 5 feet high x 50 feet long and 5 feet wide of solid ash and some cherry
