Where Is Summer? My goal is self-reliant, debt-free living at the log cabin, and to be successful l I need to learn how to live off the land, to use the forest sustainably to provide food, fuel and building materials and to make sacrifices today for my long term security and survival. In this episode, I delve deeper into the process of making maple syrup from trees and I cook two meals utilizing some of the syrup - a one-pound cheeseburger on homemade sourdough bread with maple caramelized onions for dinner and French toast and bacon with hot maple syrup for breakfast. Cali, my golden retriever, does not leave my side all day. We walk along the river and she jumps in and swims and retrieves sticks for over an hour, oblivious to the freezing temperatures. We collect more balsam fir poles for the log furniture I'm making (next episode) before another snowstorm rolls in. The days are comfortable, but the end of the video shows the storm moving in, eventually dumping almost a foot of fresh snow on the cabin. Next week's video shows a renewed winter wonderland even though it's spring.
