I live in the vast boreal forest of Eastern Canada, 1½ hours north of  
Ottawa, and 8 km from the nearest village.
It's cottage country because of the lakes.  This is a second or third  
growth forest, and of course a wild forest. The only manmade vegetation is  
planted by my (none close) neighbours in truckloads of imported dirt, and  
there are two small patches of perennial flowers on my place.
It's a little old log cabin, heated with wood. There's electric backup  
heat so my sauerkraut doesn't freeze when I'm away in the winter.

The squirrels get almost all the raspberries, there are lots on my place  
but not elsewhere since it's the only open area. There are deer, and one  
rabbit, predators visit maybe twice per winter. Mice; bats which live  
somwhere in my house and no longer disturb my sleep since I was given a 17  
year old calico cat 12 days ago.
The local food seems to be fish, deer, spruce partridge/ruffed grouse,  
beaver, ducks and mice.
Food is not plentiful in the deep thick forest.
