Smokehouse - Thaw Project | Life Below Zero

2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

I'm gonna build the smokehouse. So starting there, I'm gonna have to go find some nice post and get the bark peeled off of them and some poles. Start getting all my material, so I'm gonna head downriver and look for a really good spot to cut post and poles at. That's a nice looking spot here, maybe.

All right, let's load out to West. Come on, West! Oh good boy! The beavers have really been at work here, you know? And you can tell there's some nice old seasoned wood. It's exactly what I'm looking for for smoking my fish.

Looks like some good wood in here. Now I'm looking for something not too big that's not gonna kill me to carry to the boat. I'm a very social person, but when I'm working, I feel like I do my best work along the way. I can just enjoy my time. This is the spot where I'm gonna build my fish camp, and it's kind of an ideal location for me because my house is only about five miles from here.

Work on taking the bark off of these, so they can sit out here and bake and kind of dry and not be so slippery. I got a log spud, but I used—hopefully these aren't too dry. What you can do is you get a strip started going off of these. Feeling pretty good! Hums all right now.

I have all my material here. Clear out some brush to open this up, so I won't be tripping and falling over it. Right here's where I'm gonna put my smokehouse, so I need to clear this brush out of here.

I'm last post. Yeah, so now I'm on in my next days, and now I'm just gonna start tying it all together with the flanking. The flanking for the sides of my smokehouse, it'll nail unto my post. Come from a sawmill my friends own, it's bartered for with him. Got enough of these on to get some structure to where I can get up higher now and get my ladder on it, and then I'm gonna run my cross pieces across, which I'll put my roofing poles on like that.

I'm gonna put a tarp on the top for a roof. It'll shed water nice with this nice slope. Then I'm gonna be able to go get my dogs and finish setting up camp and get some rest.
