Hello, our friends!
It's Angelina and Dima here.
And following the tradition that we started last year when we spend the New Year's Eve
in the shelter in the woods we decided to hike to another cabin in the woods today.
We found it last autumn while hiking in the forest and fell in love with it.
We've been saving it for the winter to come.
Because we feel like in summer we always want to stay in the tent but on the cold winter
night it may be nice to stay in the cabin.
And we have quite a lot of snow now.
So it should be fun!
The winter this year has been quite cold so far with the freezing temperatures.
And we had the major snowfall lately and it's been super windy.
But today actually the day is nicer with better weather so good for us.
As you noticed we are not wearing snowshoes today and just walking in the boots because
last year we had bad experience walking in snowshoes.
And we find it easier and safer to walk in boots especially when you have the track.
Now the track has suddenly dissapeared.
it's definetely hard to walk.
All we see now are the tracks of animals.
But that can be a good sign that no people would be tonight with us.
So we will be alone in the forest.
Last year when we did the trail at this point we completely lost the direction we should go to.
And we did it in reverse direction going from the cabin down to the river and we were struggling
a lot going downhill and having a hard time.
And now we still don't see the directions so we are not sure how we are going to do it.
And the bad news are that we have to conquer the very steep uphill diving in the snow.
So, ready for the challenge!
I am a snow superman!
Or a snow spider.
This is definetely harder than we thought.
There is one mark that we found and we try to stick with it.
Let's see if it leads us to the right way.
The snow is killing it.
But more challenge - more fun right?
Now we finally feel like for the first time, maybe one of the first time in our lifes that
some kind of trekking poles or ski poles would be of great help right now.
Because we've been constantly using our hands and they would give us a little bit of extra support.
We are moving so slow right now and we are already dying.
There's so much of physical activity and there's a lot of water covered in snow so it's easy
to dive into the water and be all wet.
But we will be all wet anyway.
And that is not much distance but it is so hard that we pray to come till the darkness
to our cabin.
Really hope for that.
We are literally swimming in snow right now but now we now for sure that there will be
nobody, not a single person hiking here crazy as us.
The good thing about snow is that you fall softly always and you can just chill out.
Oh my God, I think I start seeing the cabin!
Is that a dream or reality?
I don't know, it's insane.
We made it!
After 3 freaking hours!
But we are here.
Can you believe it?
Oh my God.
We are so exhausted right now.
We deserve a good meal and a good rest.
Very hard.
It's harder than conquering the peak - it's walking in the snow.
Completely wet.
So nice we even got a wood here collected for us, so we don't have to do that.
Time to set up some fire and to warm up everything.
That is insane, the boots are in ice and frost.
But the fire is so nice.
We hope to dry everything up.
Drying all our clothes.
Boots here.
Socks up here.
Mine are up there.
We thought to give you guys the quick cabin tour, we think it's gonna be fun but it's
not happening today we think.
Because all we up to today is to get warm, get some meal and go to sleep.
To be warm the most important thing.
So we think we are going to do that tomorrow.
So excited about that.
So now let's eat something.
Evaporate, so wet.
We decided to heat up the food using the fireplace.
We think people use it to cook as well.
Because it's so nice.
Should be nice and warm.
Good morning from our little cabin in the forest.
It was a very warm night.
At first it was too hot.
This heating system is great and we honestly not used to it.
Because at our home we are used to sleep at a colder temperatures and we find it great
for the body.
But here we had to adjust a little bit to it.
Now we feel very sore all over the body.
And it's a terrifying thought that we have to go back all the same way.
It's like crazy.
Now we are thinking of the ways how we are going to do it.
Now let's have a quick tour of the cabin!
So here you can see the place where we spent the night.
This is the second floor made out of wood and it is thought for sleeping we think.
There is several carpets here and one big mat.
But we used our own sleeping pads and sleeping bags so it was great.
And we didn't even need that much our sleeping bags because it was so hot.
So as you can see it is right at the roof but the cold didn't even pass that much we feel.
And we heard there was some wind this night but still it's quite good insulated.
And basically it is the warmest place of this cabin and it is too hot when the fireplace is on.
Nice place.
And we woke up to the winter fairytale, everything is covered in snow and it's actually snowing right now.
New technique of washing up.
All we need is a little bit of snow, that's it.
And now collecting some snow for cooking.
Should be nice.
That is apparently not enough snow.
We need so much more.
It just dissapears.
So on the exterior we've got this construction for wood.
And there was a lot of wood collected actually before us and we didn't have to do it.
So thank you people, thank you so much.
Because we probably used up a lot of it.
Let's go inside!
Protecting film to protect it from the cold air passing inside.
So welcome in our luxurious cabin in the forest!
And this house actually got just a perfect amount of space for our liking for two people especially.
And for heating up the space it's great.
We've got the two windows on the two sides.
These are pretty decent windows, double glass windows.
And this is very nice because not all the private houses have the double glass windows
so this is very important.
We have the space to chill out and dry up the clothes and to sit and watch the fire
going on.
This is very nice as you can see.
We think that these are all old furniture and stuff but it looks very raw and authentic
and we actually quite like it for the house in the forest it suits just well.
And this is just the heart of this cabin - it's the fireplace and everything happens around it.
You dry your clothes, you sit here.
The heat is coming up to the upper part on the second floor where we slept and we showed
it to you already.
This is just the huge amount of space.
And we think here could sleep like ten people probably without any problem.
And this construction is pretty solid.
And the fireplace itself is not a brand new one but it's just perfect for the space and
for heating up everything.
And what we like about it is its chimney that's just the perfect size, it's not too big.
It extracts the smoke very efficiently so you almost don't smell any of it.
This is very important.
And if you've seen our other video from last year when we spend the night in the forest.
That was like the opposite experience, it was the worst thing ever.
The fireplace there was just so bad.
It was very different experience.
And we actually like the fact that this house is wooden.
It is so nice.
Because it heats up very quickly and it takes a long time to cool down.
So you won't be passing cold here.
And this space is a dining area where you've got several benches, table to have your meal.
We are cooking our breakfast now.
Over there we have another bench as well.
Here it's a nice staircase to the second floor that looks very sterdy.
The space where you can hang up your clothes.
We actually like about this place a lot that there's lots of hooks where you can hang things
and dry things.
This is just great.
In this corner we have several instruments for the wood like saw, axe, some hooks.
The broom for cleaning up.
Over here we have some stuff for barbecue.
And moving to the other side we have lots of cooking stuff
like different pans, pots and sartens.
On the table there's cutlery: knife, forks, everything.
Lots of food like sardines, pasta, rice, cous cous, strange looking olives.
Lots of candles, some snacks, spices, salt, coffee.
And even camping gas that we use now for cooking actually.
So just everything you need.
And that is it for the house tour.
We showed you everything.
Wrapping up our clothes, just checking out our clothes all over.
It's important not to forget anything because there is already a lot of stuff around.
That's really important.
Can you hear the sound of the wood?
So cool.
Now it's time to say goodbye to our little cabin.
It was nice being here and thank you for the night.
Now down we go.
Wish us good luck and lots of powers cause we really need it.
And as you can see now we are wearing our fancy new invention for making our boots waterproff.
Meet this new model here made out of the garbage bags.
Really hope that it will help and it will actually protect us.
Let's see if it works.
Thanks God we still can see our track and the snow didn't cover it up so we can follow it.
And we've been looking at the map.
If you remember yesterday we said that it was 3 kms but it was actually 1.2 kms of this
craziness and we felt like it was 10.
Absolutely crazy.
Today the snow is a little bit more sterdier and less puffier than yesterday and we have the track.
So that would be easier to hike.
Now looking down we can't believe we made it all the way up.
We made it all the way through.
How the hell it is possible.
And this trail is one of the most difficult ones that we've ever been I think even in summer.
But in winter, hell, no way.
Why we didn't get a sledge?
Sledge experience on our butts.
It is super slippery right now as you can see, you can slide off very easily.
Maybe because the sun is melting the snow and it's a bit of a mess.
The hardest part is over, we did it!
We feel like superheros right now.
And we have just minor issues like we lost our mat.
As you can see it was sticking here.
Probably it happened when I was sliding down the hill on my butt and we didn't notice it.
And just little things like tearing apart the glove and a little bit the mat.
But I think it can be considered pretty darn good.
Don't you think?
Yes.
This protection worked out well, our feet is nice and dry.
So it's a good tip for anyone who is stuck in the snowy forest and has just garbage bags with him.
A good one.
This experience was a great challenge for us that tested out our endurance and physical
form overall.
It's definetely the hardest hike we've done so far.
Before we thought it was the peak Carlit hike and now this hike is on the top of the list.
For sure.
And we realized for another time that we do enjoy more our camping experiences in the
warmer days, warmer seasons.
But stll it's nice experience to have on colder winter days and to change things up a little bit.
So we enjoyed it anyway.
Also it was a nice break for us after been sitting at home for long hours and having
an intense video editing schedule day after day.
So it woked us up kind of.
So that's great.
Hope you enjoyed this adventure with us and see you again soon!
