Show Notes
Join us in this episode as we delve into the various facets of cabin life - the highs and lows, the ups and downs. We share our compelling story of how we came to purchase our beloved cabin, recounting our initial impressions after acquiring it sight unseen from across the country. We also discuss the aspects of cabin life that we cherish the most, providing insights into the joys of living in a remote setting. Yet, we don't shy away from the challenges that come with inhabiting an abandoned cabin, exploring the feelings of isolation, the absence of modern amenities, and the difficulties of enduring our first winter at the cabin. Ultimately, we reflect on how these trials have made us all the more appreciative of our current circumstances.
