She Digs It | The Forest Kitchen | Off Grid Log Cabin Build, Ep.4 S1

Описание: She digs it at the off grid log cabin build - Cali helps excavate the foundation of the forest kitchen as I install another post and dig a trench to support the stone grill and stove. I fabricate log support bracing and install them, attempting to make the upper framework of the timber frame shelter look like a network of tree branches to fit into the forest. I will continue adding smaller branches once the barbeque is finished and then I'll install cedar shakes with moss to make it look like a forest canopy.
The weather was interesting again this week with cool days, intermittent rain and dramatic skies. The insects liked the weather too, with one day of bad mosquitoes and a few blackflies to contend with. I burn a couple of smudge fires to keep them away, which works very well. I also treat my clothing with permethrin, which can be seen drying on the clothes line. I will upload the permethrin video this coming Wednesday.
My "online" diet is healthy this week. I cook a soup made with tomatoes, rice, wild rice, beans, split peas, hot peppers, dates, garlic onion powder, turmeric, black pepper and maple syrup. This simple meal feeds me four times for a very small price tag - lunch and dinner times two.
For breakfast, oatmeal with blueberries and maple syrup with a side of chaga tea.
My self reflections is back. This week I talk about reflecting back on childhood and our propensity to glorify youth, forgetting that we had just as many stresses as children. We had big hopes and dreams when we were young, and as we get older, we realize many of them are never going to come true. My solution for that is to not waste a single day and do not go to your grave with regrets.
