Cabin Country

You'll hear very few complaints from folks in Cabin Country about the unseasonably mild winter of 2023/24! Least of all Bjorn and Fud, who would gladly take an extra long autumn season to enjoy the fruits of Bjorn's favorite pastime; foraging!

Ever try to give a wild animal mouth to snoot resuscitation? Bjorn reads Fud an article from a Minneapolis newspaper about a brave (and perhaps foolish) man who revived a Pine Marten. Funny stories galore about skunks, weasels, opossums, squirrels and even lemurs!

This brown holiday season in Minnesota has Bjorn and Fud reminiscing about other brown things they've experienced. They pick a Schmidt Scenic and try to relate it to the holidays the best they can. More sponsors and a song by crooner Fud Mathis to brighten the Christmas season!

Bjorn & Fud's favorite time of the year, the cooling temps, the falling leaves, and the telling of spooky tales set against the backdrop of Cabin Country!

A fireside chat with Bjorn and Fud on the season's last Gull River cabin trip as they procrastinate their annual Halloween spook fest just a little longer.

Bjorn and Fud pull out the old box of Schmidt Scenic beer cans from the closet and gab about farming ancestors and unlikely places to find good fishing grubs. The Logbook of "Terrible" Tim Torgerson continues and the summer is brought to a close with shared memories of the Minnesota State Fair.

Bjorn shares a recurring time travel dream of visiting his parents cabin and we meet outdoor officer Torgerson's cousin Tim, another outdoor agent under the glow of St. Paul's #1 in a new segment called "The Notebook of Tim 'Terrible T' Torgerson."

Legendary St. Paul guitarist Joel Shapira sits down with Bjorn & Fud to talk music, guitars and favorite fishing lures over an incomparable cup of coffee at JS Bean Factory in Highland Park. Outdoor agent "Torgy" Torgerson takes an interesting TRIP on his latest adventure in the field. You can Find the Music of Joel Shapira online, from his early punk Days with BOY ELROY-THIS IS NOT ART on YouTube to his long and prolific Jazz guitar career with vocalist CHARMIN MICHELLE on iTunes and Spotify. He also plays live frequently in the Twin Cities including acoustic bluegrass with his friend PETE HENNIG (TWIN TOWN STRINGS) at JS Bean Factory in St. Paul.

Bjorn and Fud visit musician David Ebner of the St. Paul-based band Yeah Yeah Fine at his beautiful cabin on Lower Gull Lake. Fud looks back to 1989-90 when the Gull River cabin was built and his Super 8mm feature film The Wrong Door was made. Check out his new documentary on YouTube - "Men Make Movie, if Not Million$" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmJ4NlBtpFk&t=312s
