Raising the Roof | The Forest Kitchen | Off Grid Log Cabin Build, Ep.3 S1

Description

The Forest kitchen at the off grid log cabin takes shape this week as I build the roof structure and clad it with one inch pine boards. The log cabin and homestead look so much better now that the trees have leafed out, transforming the scene from drab brown and greys to green seemingly overnight. Early one morning, a bull moose visits the cabin and poses for the camera while my dog, Cali the Golden Retriever, looks on. For dinner, we have fresh trout with onions and spinach one night and morels, spinach and fiddleheads the next night.

As expected, blackflies and mosquitoes were bad this week, but only early in the morning and just before dark. The log cabin site is just clear enough to provide sun and heat to keep the bugs at bay during the middle of the day, so most of my outside construction of the log pavilion was during this period when I could film without my camera lens covered in bugs.

This week, I discovered the timelapse feature on my Canon cameras (slow learner!) so I have a few scenes of the clouds moving across the sky, including the aftermath of a thunderstorm. Before I finished the video editing, another storm moved in as the weather system with high temperatures and humidity moved out.

Tune in next week to see the next phase of the off grid forest kitchen at the log cabin - finishing the pavilion and starting the grill and smoker.
