welcome to the woods of wisconsin
if you know anyone from the united states and in particular rural america you know that
it's very common for us to have a separate place to come such as a cabin in the woods
and so i've came here to the woods wisconsin the great outdoors the northwoods as we say up here
to give you guys a tour of a typical wisconsin cabin in the woods now i'm somewhere way into the
countryside it's very isolated there is no phone service up here not very many people in general
but that's why we come here to it get away from the society that we that is the city or the town
that most of us live in and so this has uh quite a bit of a backstory and so let's check out the
property let's do a cabin tour and you guys can get a better understanding of what this rural
cabin life is like in wisconsin now basically this is like what you would see in europe if
someone who lives in the capital city madrid has a house and the town on the outside of the city
or they go to the beach they have a beach house well this is wisconsin's and rural united states
form of that so first thing you'll notice here is this is an outhouse there is no running water out
here so we use a outhouse and then you'll notice the decorations look at the old saw
this is a lumber timber area traditionally the cross-country skis because believe it or not
it's extremely cold here most of the year some of the harshest winters
in the united states take place right here so usually there are no leaves and this is
covered with snow and ice for the better part of the year so let's do a tour on the inside
and these would be old snowshoes an old wagon wheel a typical hunting cabin
so here's the kitchen
and these are deer antlers from deer that have obviously been killed over the years and ornaments
have been made out of them decorations racks as we call them
and so pretty cozy place you can imagine in the winter it's very cold you come here to
make a fire stoke the fire and you got to have beer lining kugels especially plenty of places
to lay down relax and a lot of this has been renovated in recent years one of the main bedrooms
crossbow
as you can see this is uh this is what it looks like in the winter those are my brothers and i
all right he'll give us the details after this quick showing
now this would be a moose rack but moose aren't native to this part of wisconsin
you got to go further up north for that
and where all the fun happens
oh someone was definitely playing beer pong
wow
everything looks great just as i remembered
now i haven't been back in over two years so
it's been a long time and here we got a four-wheeler this is what we use to uh
plow in the winter get the snow at least my little brother does that among other things
and so you saw all the deer acts in there well the idea of hunting besides
harvesting meat and having food for several months is also to be out in nature but to score the big
one right so you come up here should we go check it out and you wait during the november gun season
or bow season you try to score yourself a big buck wow
and there's a creek down there that we'll go check out later
so this is a typical cabin in wisconsin i mean it's really peaceful
let's check out where the magic happens
cheers the [ __ ] enjoy your visit here we go salud spanish wow
what an epic place i had five kids four boys and i always wanted a cabin and i used to go
go out looking here and there and never quite finding exactly what i wanted
uh about 10 years ago and it was two weeks before hunting season and i came up here it was leaves
returning october yeah right and i and and i could see the land and i saw walked on this lot
and i go this is an incredible lot first class trout stream the devil's creek and uh and this
cabin here was real run down it was a sound structure but but i wasn't after the cabin
i was after this 20 acres uh and this site and the creek doesn't doesn't go just through the land
it meanders back and forth and it's got some beautiful pools in here and and nice trout
and and good deer deer country and i knew i had to buy a more general question is why do people
in the rural united states have what's the point of a cabin we have our house people saw the house
it's nice and big everything's there why do we get a cabin what's the idea behind the cabin
this is this is a hunting shack or a hunting cabin more than it's not on a lake
uh people want to recreate uh in russ county where we live we live in this this county this area is
all about hunting um but it's just a getaway yeah it's uh and for you it's been a side hobby it's
been a little project yeah it's it's i can and it's only 15 miles away from where we live so
it's really accessible it's easy to come here in the mornings we can we can go out here and i'd
come here at eight o'clock on wednesday night and fire up the wood stove in the dead of winter and
and uh how cool does it get here in the winter well i never um it it'll get 30 below
30 below fahrenheit yeah and i never come out in 30 below because that's just
unless i'm gonna come out for a long time uh but if it was 20 degrees above zero or 15 20
uh this big wood stove would heat this blaze up real quick and sure sure it's just a nice
place to get away be by yourself and and the silence you come out here at night and
the stars are just exploding some people don't know what stars are oh well in the cities you
don't how long does uh a deer when you shoot a deer an average size doe or buck how long does
that meat last for a family like a five or six there's a lot of people in russ county here that
the hardcore that's all they eat is wild game it depends um one deer would last me
with all you guys turning it into hamburger you'd need two two deer a year three deer a year
but the population the deer population is sometimes out of control up here they
need to hunt yeah there's a reason for it so okay so last question so land up in this area
uh in northern rural wisconsin um relative to maybe other states is the land here pretty
cheap is it is very inexpensive very inexpensive we're probably looking at um two to three thousand
dollars an acre in the area rust county i haven't checked in the last few years
this would be worth more because of the crick but that's going up
with with the slow demand of of people buying rural property people want their their hunting
shacks whether they live in russ county or whether they come from chicago or minneapolis
now you heard my dad mention that there's a crick a trout stream and spanish it would be
called an arroyo arroyo so let's go check out that beautiful stream that runs meanders right through
this area and wisconsin's a land of lakes and and rivers and most of these eventually feed into the
mississippi river this i'm sure goes into the chippewa which then goes into the mississippi
so this is uh what it looks like
it reminds me of parts of northern spain although not as mountainous
runs right along here so
that's what makes this area valuable is not so much the cabin itself but the land
that surrounds the cabin and the united states um was founded on settling land immigrants
coming here to live off the land to explore westward at least european settlers
and thereafter and this is what it's turned into someone call this freedom
others would call it peace and so yeah i hope you guys enjoyed that video
most of my audience is in the spanish-speaking world
and so they don't know what this rural uh life is like in the united states of
america but this is what it's like a perfect insight into the great outdoors in the woods
of wisconsin so until the next video you guys eventually peacing out hasta luego
you
