We show everything from setting and digging the pillars, cutting the 2x4's, ripping siding, cutting roof trusses, installing the metal roof, installing windows, chimney, wood stove, decking and building the front door.
We use a Norwood hd36 portable sawmill to make nearly all the materials for this build from locally sourced timbers.
We use ash, cedar, and pine for most of the structure and siding.

Please follow along with the full playlist in order to understand the full construction of the tiny cabin.
In this series we use materials around us to construct a small forest cabin.
We'll use cedar, pine, ash, maple, and whatever else we can scrounge up from the 30 acres around us. The aim is to avoid using as much store bought material as possible and keep the budget reasonably low.
Originally we set a budget of $1000, but that included the use of a frame from an old camper trailer. As we build, the budget will remain flexible in effort to produce a cabin that we are proud of and one that will last a long while, be comfortable, and sleep real human beings.

Apa bilang tidak mengerti ka
AS A CARPENTER MYSELF I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY YOUR CABIN IS BUILT ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS NO STEEL AROUND THE STOVE AND NOTHING UNDER THE STOVE TO STOP THE HEAT FROM DRYING OUT THE FLOOR AND MAYBE STARTING A FIRE I TRULY ENJOY YOUR VIDS KEEP THEM UP
GARY why is your caps lock on
I can do Australian for ya mate.
@@wasaflirt My name is Gary too! I see nothing wrong with that cabin either ! Only thing wrong is that Gary and Gary arent thre eating stew and sharting in the back.
I’ve been watching this video straight thru now over 3 hours!!! I’m a professional contractor and have been for over 30 years. Please ignore whoever these idiots are that are being so overly critical of every little detail. They don’t understand what your trying to accomplish or for that matter what you have already accomplished. Ignore the haters and live ur life style!! Be proud of what you have built bc you have done a great job. And if some of these so called “experts” are critical of whether or not every facet of your build doesn’t meet code then tell them to unsubscribe!! If they can’t offer any constructive criticism or ideas then they are useless. Great job!!! Live your life brother!!
Please dont answer questions from this person ..they probably couldn't build a rabbit box..

OH, for the days when you could get a "Magic Decoder Ring" in your breakfast cereal box!
@@barbarasteed3966 What are you talking about? He is EXACTLY right (Carlos Cardona)...weakness hates strength, and the unsuccessful will always envy the successful!!!
I know im here almost 2 years later, but my question is this: They are in the middle of the damn wilderness, WHAT codes could possibly be enforced in any case? Just build and ignore.
My dad used to take me to help him do side jobs. He would call me lightning boy... because my hammer never struck the same place twice. Love you dad ❤️
lol
hahahahaha thats awesome
lol! Miss my Dad. Loved the video. Had some Osha issues with Kevins egg McMuffin tho...
That is so cracking funny! God bless your dad, he has a good sense of humor.
That's very funny, never heard that one before. Hope you got better. :)
DO NOT LET JEALOUS PEOPLE BOTHER YOU. YOU GUYS HAVE BUILT A MIRACLE CABIN FROM SCRATCH GREAT JOB GUYS!!
Absolutely 💯
Congratulations man for being cancer free and for living the way you are. There's so many people me including that would love to live the way you are offgrid in a absolutely gorgeous cabin and i myself was raised with an outhouse and would like to have one again
CANNOT YOU JUT PAINT THE ROOF ONE COLOR AT A LATER TIME.
DAMN, THAT WORK LOOKS TOUGH. HIND SIGHT IS PERFECT, BUT OTHER BUILDS I'VE SEEN MADE SURE THEY GOT THE ROOF ON ONCE THE RAFTERS WERE IN SO AS TO BEAT THE WINTER SNOW. I'VE XWAT HED SEVERAL OF THESE BUILDS. YOU ALL JUST GRAB MY ATTENTION
My husband died from cancer in 2006. He worked and "played" in the outdoors all of his life. Did tree work with asplundh tree company using a climbing crew as a foreman for many years. He surface hunted for native American artifacts all of his life once he left the Navy in 1972. He was a really good man. He never got the chance watch all of these types of outdoors channels, but he would have enjoyed them a great deal. I feel that I am sort of watching for both of us. He would have had a lot to say to people with nothing positive to say about anything that people do while they (as far as we know) sit around not doing anything but complain and try to put people down. I'm sure not all of it could be put on the comments section? We all as a country need to avoid the negative people and concentrate on lifting up the productive ones! Just keep on being you and the ones that matter will keep on watching! Hope you all have a Happy New year! 🤗
God bless you and the marriage you had with your husband.
@@AshManzarek Every once in a while you read something beautiful on KZhead. And even more every once in a while you get to share it with somebody you've never even met.
Uhh ok lol
Bless you I can almost bet he wood have read backwoodsmen magazine...you wood probably enjoy it too..I have found as I age I seem to have more friends that are widows as my slightly older friends pass on,been blessed to know many great men like your late husband..shalom..
F....... the negative comments. Negative people are the crap of the earth
Everyone that is reacting negatively are totally missing the point. What I see is a father, sons and friends working hard, enjoying the outdoors and enjoying each other’s company. The time spent with my parents and siblings camping, fishing and hunting are some of the most memorable of my life. They built a cabin but the memories they created will last a lifetime and will give comfort when needed. Good job guys. 👍
theres is not 1 goddamn thing wrong in thisd whole video. just family and friends working and hanging out with each other. his little niece at the endf was adorable

Well said. Bravo
Jealousy and attention seeking is all it is
Spot on Murray. I add that I am envious of you - I had very few of those memories.
I'm a construction site carpenter in the UK, your work on this cabin is absolutely awesome and inspirational, it's going to be there for a very long time. Thank you for sharing
Those posts that they cut off and put the cut end in the ground are gunna rot off in about 5 years…… it’s been 4 years now …. Can I git an update ?..
@@brianboe3774 When i build any exterior walls i coat every inch with top grade paint primer
Some people are just fundamentally unhappy and want everyone else to be the same. The build looks fantastic to me!
💪🙏
I watched the 3+ hour first and second season at one stretch. What can I say, I work at home. I am a State Construction Plan reviewer in the U.S. and a former licensed contractor. I just watched the scene about the criticizes. This what I have to say about it. This is a building on private property that in not intended for permanent occupation. It is technically not conditioned, even though there is wood heat and insulation. I would not get heartburn about not following the Residential Code because it is not a residence. It is a recreational shelter. There were a couple things I might have done differently but overall I liked the show, I liked the commentary and I love the little cabin. Some people like to complain to make themselves seem important. Just remember this! They are wrong. I just subscribed and will keep watching. Thank You.
I agree Dee. I think the framing was done correctly. The roof is a nice touch and the cedar shakes also. It is also, not completely finished. Complainers are the ones who probably do not know the difference from a header and a footer...or a 10p nail from a thumb tack.
I would definitely use this on a atv trail camping cabin specially during brutal temps. There is always a group of negative people in the world and thats ok. Their negativity inspires most to continue doing what makes them happy not what makes the haters happy. And most of the haters practically don't do anything themselves so they are judgmental of others happy places. I myself would do the exact same thing these guys have done because ive watched Amish builders do the exact same thing these guys are doing its all old school old tech that has lasted for quite some time. And Amish builders I would prefer them to work on my home because id trust them as for structure being stable to last for years. I 100% support these guys and frankly if I lived near these guys I would be there to assist them on completing this project. Help and encourage everyone and most of all be happy while doing it.
It’s easy to learn something by following the experience of others. If that’s why one watches KZhead, there are several things to leant here. Some things shouldn’t be repeated, but I applaud the guys for getting off the couch and giving it a go. Would be great to see them do a COE on what they would’ve done differently. A rough plan and a few hours of forethought and discussion would’ve been well worth it.
Right on!
Im a carpenter 40 years now and this has been my dream for just about as long. You guys did great and inspired me, time to find my land.
me too boss lets do it together hahah
I thought I knew a lot about tools, but the power tool I see being used to attach the shakes I don't know what it is or what kind of fastener it is. Can you please explane more about that tool? Thanks
@@lynncoover930 yeah the one which had 2 light in it....i alos want to know.
@@lynncoover930 If you're talking about the tool being used at 2:58:52, it's a pin gun or tack gun like a nail gun but fires pins or tacks.
Your dream was to make a cabin out of more mold than wood?
Idk you personally, but you guys just look so chill to talk with and watching you build these huts is almost like a therapeutic experience. I could be watching these for hours. Seriously, thank you for making these videos, it's truly a pleasure to watch ❤️
Well said!
LoTS OF PEOPLE ARE KEYIN IN ON YOR BUILDS THUREPUTIC VALUE. ME TOO. FOR ME,,IT IS 2 A. M.,AND THERE IS NO OTHER NOISE IN THE HOUSE BUT YOU GUYS. I DONT HAVE OTHER PEOPLE, PETS, TVS, NOT EVEN A CLOCK. THERE IS NO OTHER NOISE BUT YOU GUYS,,,,,,,SO KEEP BUILDING. I"M WATCHIN"
YOU GUYS ARE MAKIN" VERY GOOD PROGRESS. I"M WATCHIN" EVERY NAIL. I THINK THAT FOREST WAS PLANTED ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO. I DO THAT SORT OF THINGSTAND AROUND AND WATCH THE FOREST GROW. KEEP BUILDIN". I'M WATCHIN"
HEY, THAT CHERRY TREE LOOKS TO BE 1OO YEARS OLD. THAT SHOULD BE A KEEPER. I HATE IT WHEN THE OLDEST THINGS 8N THE FOREST HAS TO BE CUT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF H7MAN ACTIVITY. DAMN, COULD NOT THE CHERRY TREE HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE SCENERY.
I DO LIKE TH WAY THAT YOU TAKE THE RECYCLED LUMBER DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FOREST AND INTO YOU CABIN. I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE USE OF PORTABLE SAWS.
4 hrs worth of how to build a tiny cabin in the snow country. Very educational. That tiny skillet for Kevin's egg sandwich was perfect. Didn't realize that Suzukis are snow cars.
suzuki utes are though ;-)
Im an engineer, Developer/contractor Im 56 at this writing, and have been retired officially since 2009. I am because I can. That said, any buffoon giving you grief over building technique, procedure or lastly, mold, they are apparently the short bus crowd who never built, wired or plumbed ANYTHING in their lives. It's a cabin, not your permanent residence. I have seen a lot more in the wilds of Alaska that weren't built as well and were done 130 years ago or more...still standing and still used on occasion by the hunter or outdoor enthusiast. I love the video, think your approach was commendable and the dog helped ALOT! Continue burning the comments from the retards that want to split hair instead of wood, and you all keep the varmint population manageable while enjoying that excellent work of art out in the woods.
haha retired because you can? You're miserable because your life is over...
@@abg125 You dont know how true that is...but I stay busy building. And im not short on offers to consult. But retirement isnt really the definition...MORE TIRED is really whats happened. Especially as I have gotten closer to traditional retirement age, only 4 years out now.
@@abg125 You evidently do not know how to talk to anyone. It is none of your business if this man is retired or not. Retirement is simply a word the bureaucrats put on someone who feels they are ready to take it easy and can handle it. I am 76 years old, have never got to where I said I am retiring now. Yet, I have taken on my SS because I paid it into that fund which is not the government, yet they spend it, It is the workers, Now if I choose to work, I can, and it does no harm. So, why don't you back off and either find another place or speak with intelligence? B|
you said Exactly what I was going to say . about thoses buffoon lol Thanks :)
Although people talking badly about someone’s forging is usually a good craftsman giving constructive criticism
I am a registered architect and yes, there were a few giveaways on the amount of experience this crew brought to the project. Yes, there were a few things I would do different. But I can also say that there is nothing greater than forging ahead and completing an original piece of art work that provides one of the three pillars of human survival. Sometimes the best original design work comes from the untrained hand. Once we learn how everyone else builds, we have begun the process of herd mentality and creative corruption. Keep up the good work. You are making something real and that can never be taken away from you guys.
You're an architect. You don't build anything. You work in an office.
Hope your smarter than ?????
Yes I agree they are doing a great job all but not pouring cement for the poles they put in the ground...I had just seen another cabin being build by a guy & his wife and the purchased some cement disk to put in the holes before he put the poles in the ground , but I've seen my day add gravel & cement to things he would put in the ground making a fence.....before & after adding the poles....and I don't remember one ever coming out of a hole.....lol
The only thing an architect brings to a construction site is complications. Stay at the office
I've built houses for 30 years and not once have I seen the architect come out and swing a hammer. You are designers, not builders.
I have 30 yrs experience building furniture and home construction. As far as foundation is concerned your method is perfectly acceptable for a wilderness cabin. There may be movement in the piers but the movement and settling will be equal. As far as other things that were done in construction it is crucial to remember where this cabin is located. Things are done differently in different locations. You accept the limitations your location and environment imposed on you! In sum; you’re doing things just fine and I don’t think anyone should have serious issues with anything you’re doing.
Charring the bottoms of the posts is something I’d suggest it’s an accent Japanese technique that helps to prevent rotting and termites been used on ranches for long time
Hello! I am a 65-year-old Canadian man, living in the big city of Toronto. I am envious of your project, excellent job guys. I’ve being in Construction for 45+ years, basically my whole life, I’ve recently retired less than a year ago and had the opportunity to watch your video, entitled “BUILDING a Small Cabin in the WOODS (COMPLETE BUILD)”, I guess some people can’t see the rational aspect of your build, like you mentioned in very beginning of the video, you are doing this like your forefathers would have done. However, even my own great-grand-father on my mother’s side, build a house back in the day, which I had the opportunity to visit with my uncle 30 years ago. I will attest that that in your case, your Cabin is equal or better and surely more structurally sound, compared to what my great-grand-fathers had built back in the days. Let’s not forget, it is a cabin and not a house you are building. Like the old saying says, What's good for the goose is good for the gander, you are a couple of fun guys having a good time building a CABIN IN THE WOODS, just a place where you can escape to, away from the burden of the town or city life, just a place where you can chillout and have fun, be proud of what you have done and enjoy it, hopefully for many years to come. 🙂
Absolutelyyyy, I've only watched some of @TheWoodedBeardsman videos. But most people aren't watching because we are going to go out and build this cabin. Some maybe, but I enjoy learning how someone else would while also getting to enjoy 'just some guys living in the woods' the banter, the thoughts, the energy bars for on the go (better if not frozen solid). If people's comments & critique's can add or help your build or content then I can see bringing it in. But If it's taking away from you enjoying YOUR build, Life or Content for the sake of the few's need to tell people ''How It's Done!'' Then I could live without it not being ''a perfect build'', personally. I would rather see you & your people enjoying yourselves chopping up some brush & burning some hot dogs over addressing this & that. There's some 'Science' out their that says it takes 10 or 100 good comments to forget or make up for the 1 💩 comment.....SOOO don't read any or your screwed 😂 cus the unhappy make the most noise! AND escape the woods 😁
Just watched the end of the video* Healthy & Thoughtful approach to the positive & negative people. I look forward to watching your positive growth.
I love the ritual burning of the unconstructive comments, lol. My uncle built a cabin the lasted 52 years. some of the best built structures were built with a good eye and a strong back. Congratulations on the build!
yes
Me this morning thinking "Why is this in my suggested videos? Theres no way I'll watch all of this." I watched it all.
Wow
me too!
Wow just finished watching it all , beauty mate I loved it. Thank you.
I just sat here all afternoon and watched it all also. It's beautiful.
Just dont use this as an example of how to install a metal roof.
I love the cabin. I've lived in the mountains all my life and all of my cousins pitched in to help build each other's cabin's. You did an awesome job and you and the boys had fun doing it. Great job
I used to manage a shop and had an older guy who had built 3 houses from scratch and was doing an add on fir his home. He talked about how ridiculous some of the requirements were now. For example couldn't put in the same outlets as the rest of the house, they had to be 3prong for the NEXT person that owned the home... just do what you do and enjoy!
hey why not spend 4 hours of my weekend watching/learning how to build a cabin that I may never build? Loved every minute of it.
Same. Here, I am - living in a bungalow, in West Midlands, UK. There's no way - currently - that I can build a cabin. In truth, I have only come as far that I am going to purchase a rotary sawer.
@@sherrylawrencelewis2544 Haha, no step forward is wasted.
Talk, talk… i always yawn when i'm interested!
Yup! I just did the same. the show is that great 👍🏾
@@chriscash5350 yoo quote of the day bro
While I have viewed your channel for a longtime, I had never joined. As of today I have subscribed because of your positive message and I support that message. In my youth I built 3 log cabins in the woods that when once was discovered were torn down, watching what you do brings back those memories of happy times. Keep doing what you are doing, because I appreciate it. Thank you.
Awe how amazing that you did that in your youth!!! And I'm so sorry goons tore them down.
Hello guys, I am in the United States, and I have just found yall. I grew up in the mountains. So, I have this to say about this house. There are many homeless that would love to live in that cabin. I feel that your group is perfectly teaching and showing so many people how to fend for themselves. All of those who speak against this are the ones who would never be able to survive in the wilderness because nothing is up to CODE . I plan to continue to watch, I love this.
The entire purpose of it is to build with what you have. So many people can’t do that sadly. General construction knowledge is such a good thing to have too.
@@jameshersom2536 Totally agree and in addition to that many people rely on grocery stores for their food. Home economics needs to be added back to our schools. Teach the future how to grow and preserve food that doesn't require refrigeration and many other basic self-sufficient skills like cooking, sewing, etc. Schools have done away with woodwork and auto shop as well and in turn are only focusing on only social media and tech skills.
I love that y'all aren't some "overly rugged" tough guys - y'all are just regular dudes that like the outdoors. Keep up the great videos! Makes me want to sell everything and go live in the woods
As opposed to what? Sounds like you have preconceived notions about these things. What's a "tough guy" by your definition. Trust me, almost no man that does this type of stuff is some weak soyboy.
everyone is missing the most impressive aspect of this build and that is the fact that they built this cabin in 4 hours..
do u srsly think they made this in 4hrs or are u just a troll?
@@SharkButtholio (face palm) I was making joke. Jeez guy.
@@SharkButtholio /swoosh
@@SharkButtholio, it's called sarcasm.

You did a great job building this cabin. It will last longer than any of us, and longer than anyone commenting on it. Like any building, it will require periodic maintenance.
i think what you guys do is awesome i enjoy watching every episode. KEEP BUILDING GUYS
It's a cabin in the woods, who cares about code... I've watched them build the entire thing, and to be honest, I'm impressed with what they were able to accomplish. and nothing they have done seems SO dangerous or SO wrong as to warn everyone not to do what they did. Wish I had the land, and resources to do something like this, and I'm thinking "captain contrary" is just being negative out of pure jealousy. I for one think it's awesome what you guys did/are doing, and just want to let you know, me, and many others, are on your side. haters are gonna hate. Keep up the good hard work guys, don't let the negativity of some KZhead comments get you down.
I actually thought it was very ironic that someone made that comment cuz my very first impression when I watched them build the walls was "these guys must be framers"
That's what I thought. Who cares about code. It's private land. It's not like they're living in it full time. It's basically like a hunters cabin. Your always going to have crappie people throwing out their negative comments. I wouldn't even address them because then your feeding into their nonsense. If they don't like what your doing, they don't need to watch. I don't like hunting, but I'm not going to criticize him for hunting. I just don't watch those episodes. Real simple. Keep doing what you do guys!
Hi! I’m a 74 year old woman and I spent the whole day watching this cabin build. I love it!!!! Makes me wish I was a young woman again and could do great things like this. Love the kids playing also!!!! They will remember it forever!
74 is like 54 these days. Even the fact that you are using the Internet and sharing your perspective so eloquently is very different to 74 year olds from a century ago. I wonder what you could build - if only in your mind! I think you'd be surprised!
@@mrdavidurquhart I am impressed with them my nans 60 and she barely knows how to use the bluddy microwave
Your son looks and sounds like our son did when he was young. He is now 25 years old. We miss those days of spending time outside in the woods building and sledding in the snow. Beautiful cabin too!
❤❤❤
Thanks for your videos. To Be fair, it seems like you guys try to Do the best things possible without having to Break the Bank or live with Budgets...I love that you've been able to Build a Bunch of things on your property. The main thing that I have been able to notice...you usually always enjoy the journey...who cares about what you use for materials..store Bought or cut it down and mill it. I just love it...thanks for the smiles you and your friends and family have brought to my viewing pleasure...thanks...and keep up the good work.
i stumbled across this and was completely riveted to this the entire way through
Same here!
Same here.
That’s exactly what happened to me! I have no idea how I arrived here, but so glad I did.
I would rather watch this video than any new Star Wars movie except for "Rogue One".
I’ve got to echo all these statements. Exactly how I showed up. Incidentally, can Lena get any cuter?! She cracks me up!
The weird thing is that 200 years ago this was just totally normal behaviour and you wouldnt be able to brag about it to anyone because they had also all built their own houses, nowadays building your own house is one of the most impressive things someone can do.
I mean yes and no, in city areas there would be people who are hired to build houses but in towns people would make their own houses but they would probably have help. The 1800s were kind of the dawn of modern society.
Oh, you know the live 200 years ago ? then you know there's a lot of things people don't have that day.
I concur! 200 years ago, Doctors were known by todays standards as "quacks". GENERALLY, they allowed the body to heal naturally by the 8 natural laws of health (nutrition, exercise, fresh water, sunlight, temperance, fresh air, proper rest, trust in God). Plus, they used medicines found in nature in herbs and various plant life. Isaiah 65:21 says we will be building homes in Heaven and planting our own crops. Sure, if we are saved, we will have 1000's of years to understand how to build a nice home. But, wouldn't it be nice to get a jump start on it today... in this life. Just like building the character God desires from each of us. Maranatha! :)
You have the differences they would have done it right and that put 6x6 timbers four feet into the ground without boulders around it LOL the things going to be on the ground in a couple of years
Correction two and a half feet deep LOL I just saw them drop one in after I made that comment. You don't have to use cement but you do have to dig deeper and you do have to use boulders or that shit's going to go everywhere
I have just watched all Modern Self Reliance's videos and now I have watched this, so I have seen how your whole homestead was made. I loved all of it. I'm a 50 something female from 🍁, and I think what you guys are doing is awesome. ❤❤
This is still such a great build, the individual videos and this one. Its amazing how the forest has changed over the years.
Being in Construction for almost 25 years, im sure there were small (if any) corners cut. But i haven't heard anyone say "well, it's just a cabin in the woods, so...." Much respect for all of you. I've been binge watching all of your videos, and will be disappointed when it come to an end. But i am a subscriber, and a huge fan of all of you. Chris- Maine, USA.
I actually watched this from start to finish of the exterior. Will be watching the outhouse build. I am 56 years old and have been in construction since I was a 6 y.o. helping my father. I am a journeyman carpenter, 30+ years in the United States of America. I think you guys did a great job. Enjoyed watching! Haters will always be Haters. They are unhappy people who want to make everyone as unhappy as they are. Don't let them bring you down. Fun watching you work in Nature.
My father grew up using an outhouse, he often regaled us with stories about the importance of 'laying in wait' in order to assure yourself of a pre-warmed seat... Also, a sheet of the newspaper on a nail (wiping medium) could also be 'ignited' which admirably acted as an air freshener. 'Aloe Vera' was just a pleasantry voiced to someone called Vera back in the day.
I just started watching this show. In the middle of nowhere you built a beautiful natural home from scratch. Amazing to say the least. Well done.
My father was a master carpenter and we lived in the USA in Maryland of which I helped him on the job lots of times✔️Living that close to Washington DC there were LOTS of laws to follow of which I learned while working with him and as I watched your house build I was IMPRESSED and SATISFIED WITH THE WAY U BUILD your cabin. AWESOME JOB You did. Keep up the GREAT WORK GUYS. I bet the person who COMPLAINED about your CRATMEN SHIP could NOT BUILD A DOG BOX 😅 your cabine 🤠
This is officially the longest video I've ever watched on KZhead. And it was absolutely fantastic! Watching the entire build was great. Great content, earned you a sub.
Me too, I seen the length and tough no way, I couldn’t stop watching great channel also another sub.
Me too..and I've watched it several times to make sure I didn't miss anything
@@LadyBlueRR lets say i want to build a cabin like this next door to red beard. Do you think he will suck me after some stew?
Once watch a guy names pedguin play a game called terraria a few years back for 24 hours
There a video thats four hour like much more longer than this video, i also watched this on my old account
Don't worry about what people say. Y'all are awesome builder's. I would have you build me a tiny house any day.
You guys are building a beautiful cabin. Delete all negative comments dude! Screw them! Great job!!
I truly enjoyed your family and how you interact with your audience and how you go about building that beautiful cabin!! I am laid up due to illness and you guys gave me a little bit of wilderness to enjoy. I am now a subscriber and will continue watching your channel!! Thanks again!!
For all the people who gave you guys negative criticism: Everyone is entitled to an opinion , heres mine. This was a 4 hour video, longest KZhead video I have ever watched. In the entire 4 hrs, I watched kids be kids outdoors without ANY FREAKIN ELECTRONICS!!! There is nothing wrong with the way this cabin was built. The cabin was built to get family together in the outdoors, so weather or not its built to code, has sufficient moisture barriers or any other imperfections sought out by critics, the cabin is and will keep serving its purpose. I enjoy watching yall videos, keep up the good work!!! Besides, if something does fail, it'll just make for another great video on the repair and more time for those kids outdoors.
right. here in FL canes will blow that thing straight away, for example. they're using nails and screws to hold this thing together. so what? they're relying on those 6 x 6 not settling. that would not work in FL either! but up there that's probably gonna be fine. for bearing I would use that plastic stuff but hey these guys are using what's available. of course that's not code. as stated, so what! and they know what kinda saws to use.. Makita's the absolute BEST power tools on the planet. those things just keep on working! I own a 7 1/4" Makita that cost $113 55 years ago. they still cost $113! and mine is still going after cutting MILES of rips. MILES! I put ONE set of brushes in it. A Makita saw does one other thing that not many saws do... they blow the chad clear of your cut line.
I spent all day watching you all and I absolutely love what you’re doing. I have no interest in doing this myself (maybe when my husband and I were younger… Ha) but watching you do this from scratch was one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen! I’m a 77-year-old grandmother and watching you young people do what you did is something that reminded me and brought to mind what the settlers went through when they established our country. (I live in Tennessee). God bless you young men. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Your strength and endurance was amazing to me and I am so glad I “ stumbled” onto your channel. I will follow you and hope you do another season. I am looking forward to it.
Hİ HOV ARE YOU DAİRLY MİSEƏ TERRİ
Love it! So inspiring! Thank you for sharing the hard work you guys put into this whole process of building the cabin.
Love the build! The wild game! The kids, the fun...livin' the dream and having fun! 😎💪🧙♂
I'm feeling inspired to build something. Not sure what, but something.
How about, a kiln and a forge, make weapons!!! =D
@@timothythompson7750 that’s what I feel like making
Honestly 😂
I live in Appalachia people like to make Stills around here 😉
Check out cabin building
I enjoyed this video. Couple of real dudes building an awesome cabin
I really enjoyed this video..I live in the mtns of Idaho, USA! I find it very inspirational how you guys used raw materials from your land and repurposed some materials as well. Also I love how you appreciate and respect the wild life & have a good understanding of the enviroment that we mtn people have of the wooded areas. I got some great ideas I want to implement myself...I look fwd to more videos from you guys! I love my neighbors from THE GREAT WHITE NORTH... you hosers! LOL!!! ( it's an 80's thing ) 🙂😜
Beautiful cabin lads, would love to make one in Ireland 🇮🇪 might steal a lot of your ideas 💡 😅
Forget about the haters. If you're having fun, then let the fun of it lead you. I wish I was part of that project. The haters are just jealous!
Despite the haters, you guys did a great job. It was so cool to see this project come together. Beautiful job!
What haters ? you`re probably talking about the &unt that did this video
This show brings me joy (old lady talking). Thank you!
I ran a couple of 12" duct pipes from the ridge to the underside of my cabin. In the winter I run a fan to push the hot air down and let it rise through the floor. This makes a huge difference. In the summer we take the skirting panels off and the air naturally rises from the cooler ground, out the upper windows. BUT, the verry best addition was the rocket mass heater. We even made a cobb bench. One last stoking of the heater before bedding down and it is still warm in the morning. Love your build!
I would love to see an update of how it's holding up and what changes have been made. This little cabin looks like an amazing get away or home for someone that doesn't need a lot to be happy. I love the project and would love to do something like this one day.
It's so 'badly' built according to some that I'd wager they had to plane the edge of the door at least twice.
It sure helps having a couple of guys that don’t argue much. you guys work super well together. love this cabin build. :-)
I wish I could be around people like you guys. I've enjoyed watching. Keep up the great work. Plus you're teaching children to be blessed with that skill. Plus how to love and respect nature. God bless all of you.
I don't care what other people think about what U r doing,, I enjoy watching your videos and the things you do.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.💯
Love what you guys have done here, i am a certified building inspector and what you have done here is not totally out of the norm. For what you are going to be using this cabin for, you are well within the perimeters of longevity. Don't let the haters dig you down but I do like the fact that your doing your best to reply to comments. Doing your best to reply to legitimate comments can be a challenge. I would only suggest one thing: I would treating any end grain lumber that is exposed to the elements to some type of retardant. Maybe waxing or sealing your rafters to keep the wicking down to a minimum. Anywhere to keep the natural grain of the wood from drawing in moisture to prevent wood rot. Without fascia boards, you will tend to find mold and dry rot from traveling up your rafter boards. Other than that, great looking cabin to call your own, i am jealous that I don't have the freedom to do this myself...
Nobodys hating but people that want to learn shouldn't be taught to do things the wrong way and constructive criticism is in order if you can't take it stay on the porch a building inspector? you should go get your money back I've never failed an inspection in my life and I've done all phases of construction my dad taught me that I'm the inspector, I've seen a lot of Old-Timers work and they would use tar paper and Flash the windows and they wouldn't ever have earth to wood contact.
@Gangster of Love it's okay warps and shrinks a lot especially on a deck really good carpenters will use kiln-dried lumber it keeps your Walls and layout straight, that house is like a moisture wick and humidity inside will grow mold faster
My grandpa built 4 houses and 1 log cabin in the mountains of Virginia and the only power tools he had was an old sawmill that ran off an old 4 cylinder engine of some type . This video reminded me of him and I enjoyed it very much , thanks for posting the video .
I'm glad your not letting the haters hate.That Cabin in work of art and overbuilt if anything, witch is a good thing!! Love what yall do,keep it up please
I m a 68 year old granny who worked as a heavy highway carpenter for a couple years until the driving got too long so I quit that job but I liked it. I came across your video and love watching. I have a lot of time on my hands now being retired. How fortunate that you can use dead cedar. Great job.
It's great to see a Canadian perspective. I always dreamed of building a cabin, but after watching the hard work and power that goes in to it - think I'd better just park in my bus instead. Loved the series and really looking forward to watching as you finish the project. Cheers
Gonna miss the cabin build . Learned a lot
This is why when you live in the country you can build anything you want without inspections as long as you guys know its safe for yourself more power to you guys love your work from San Antonio Texas
Beautiful cabin! Love this whole series!
*Support this channel by letting this video run from start to finish. We need help to keep this project going.*
The Wooded Beardsman this is sweet! i wish i could do this but i’ll stick to my small shelter videos for now.
The Wooded Beardsman I love your channel. I noticed that when the posts were dug in a placed no concrete was used. Are there other safety processions used in case of mudslides or just earth erosion?.
In 24H, can you then post how much percent of people completely watched the video from start to finish? I’ve always wondered how many in such a long vid
My best long form video is "puddle lake" and gets an AVERAGE of 1.5 HOURS watch time. @@Jelkiin
The cedar trees will prevent anything from moving with their roots. @@slingarrowtm.5184
I'm a finish Carpenter now over 25 years I should be asleep its 5am haha but I stayed up to watch you guys I throughly enjoyed watching you create your magnificent cabin Best wishes, a tribal member I hope to build one , one day Best wishes Patrick
I live in Seattle Washington and I have added on to a small shelter that we had and have always loved the idea of living small places ESPECIALLY IF YOU BUILT IT YOURSELF. you guys are awesome and ppl just need to Relax and Chill !!! ❤️
❤ my husband and I seriously enjoy your channel, watching the both of you , reminds us of our son’s. You are an inspiration to so so many! Haters are going to hate regardless to what you do. I’m glad you burned them up! That’s the only time I will mention them. We are disabled, I have to add you have inspired us to try and build a little something on here. Love watching the children, your patience and tone of voice is heart warming ❤ Prayers for you and families, Awesome job guy’s!!
Can’t imagine how hard it was to build a cabin alone with just an ax pre-gasoline tools. Wonderful to use on-site dead trees. Love the live edge beams and red roof. Well done!
I watched it all😁😁😁 1915 My grandparents build a cabin in the wildness of east Kentucky. No codes, no inspector, no coalition for cabin building safety association. They did it with the help and support of people around them so it was right for them, in their moment. They raised and fed 9 kids in that cabin, my mother being the 4th of 9. I grew up with the stories of how my grandmother wished the ceiling under the loft was higher because she would bust her knuckles when she shook the sheets. My grandfather said he would probably have built closer to the water. But ya’ know, I never heard one of my uncles or aunts complain. They always spoke of their cabin memories with childlike fondness. Story’s laughing by the fire and the hunt for the crafty raccoon that kept stealing their eggs. The point being, every word is part of the wonderful story that is unique to my fore-bearers, words that have been woven into the tapestry of my life. Those storylines of their ‘cabin in the woods’ are the threads that I count as my greatest treasure on earth. Thanks guys and keep up the great work. I enjoyed it very much.
Gary- you should try your hand at writing a book. You’re a talented writer.
fantastic job! ignore the trolls, they typically have alot to say but accomplish very little. pleasure to watch and hope it offers decades of enjoyment. cheers!
When a project works - It works. So congratulations on a finished cabin. Plus a warm fire.
I just wanted to say that I think it was wonderful that you were able to repurpose the wood from Ash trees. I work in Public Works in my town and I can tell you we lost close to 11,000 trees to the Ash Borer beetle. I think you guys did a beautiful job building this cabin!
I really enjoyed the full 3 hours, 57 minutes and 49 seconds of this video... And what a great result as is stands. Looking forward to seeing what insulation you used in the roof and what the rest of the cabin will be like... One thing though (I am a chef so I am a bit biased) I would put the stove on some sort of a pedestal to raise it to a kitchen counter kind of height... Also I would place the kitchenette more near the stove... The pedestal can be used to store some firewood... And maybe a crazy idea: Get and old fridge, have the refrigerant removed, remove the compressor and the pipes and build it flush into the floor as a sort of cooler/dry storage/miniature cellar...
You can still buy new old school cook stoves circa 1865 design time frame. Being a chef I would highly recommend when you build your cabin buy a new or look for a yard sale stove. My best friend is also a chef and built himself a cabin 20x40 foot built by professional carpenters, electricians ( solar ) and plumbers fresh water stream from high up on his property and I found at a yard sale an original wood fired kitchen stove complete with oven and warming bins above the stove NOS dated 1874! The look on his face when I delivered it in what remained of the original crate was priceless! His grandmother who God bless her was 87 took one look at it and said it's identical to what I had as my first stove when I first got married. She directed its setup as the original setup manual was long gone. She then taught him how to cook in it. First fire, evacuated the house due to the oil burning off the stove. Ow do you cook breakfast with four pieces of wood in the firebox? He said impossible, she showed him how. He now loves it as does his wife. They discovered the could add a water tank to the back of the stove for hot water out of a spigot attached to the water tank unpressurized. There sitting on 150 acres of virgin timber which is their income harvesting 15 acres a year. Tell the operator of the Kurosawa to raise the rollover protection behind the seat. Nothing worse than being pinned under an overturned tractor when you realize you were dumb as a box of rocks by not extending the rollover protection that might have saved your life. I saw a guy kill himself when it overturned and he hadn't extended the rollover protection, he was 26 when he died no bs.
KZhead transitioned me to this when the rain video ended. I love your build. I helped my brother build a 16x32 cabin /shelter ( yes, code inspectors were involved) and quite frankly, code forced the use of hurricane clips... when we don't get those types of winds in this area. In your video, I saw the type of construction our pioneering ancestors would use. Building codes were put in place to protect us from sloppy contractors. People with knowledge and skills are perfectly capable of building their own safe shelter. You have what it takes.
I’m wanting to build a pond house, I have almost finished the live pond, but next the house, you guys give me motivation and hope . What an amazing video this was. 😘 thank you 😊
In 70 years; I've seen my share of slip-shod carpentry, but this cabin in the woods you and your brother have built, ain't it, and something I would be proud to say that I had done. My dad was a carpenter, and taught me all he could in my youth. Despite my rebellious nature, I gained enough experience to keep me from having to pay someone else for any carpentry projects I've tackled over the years. Your excellent video brought back memories of me constructing a workshop of similar dimensions on my own, about 30 yrs ago. I surely could've used a hand a time or two, but, will never forget my sense of pride when completed. Nothing wrong with a 4hr video that's as entertaining as yours. I'm looking forward to watching season two, and enjoying catching up on the other videos as well. Thanks.
Just watching you interacting with your children has convinced me that you are a loving and caring person. I've always watched your brothers channel and enjoyed it very much. I'm very impressed with your channel as well. Keep doing what you're doing because it is positive and I enjoy it very much. Thank you.
Watched your cabin build. Love it! Now gotta build outhouse. Would love to live there. It’s beautiful there. The kids are adorable. I’m 66 and miss those days of sledding and playing in the snow. You guys rock!
I think what your doing is cool ignore the haters cause they are jealous of your skills and talent keep the videos coming
I am coming in late on this one. Screw the “Ney Sayers, Doubters and Haters.” I enjoyed you throwing the list of complaints, gripes, etc. into the fire. You turned all that negative trash into positive useful energy. Great job to each of you.
Loved watching this! To answer your question, if you cut the trees so they fall on the diagonal, instead of in line with all the other trees, you'd have a clear path for them to fall every time. I think that's what they were thinking when they planted all the trees in a row like that.
We didn’t subscribe to read the negative comments that negative people write. We signed up to view how you and Kevin hunt, trap, fish, build and survive in the outdoors. Great watching!
Absolutely fabulous job! You all are an inspiration. This is right on par with what my brother and I have been looking to do. Thanks for sharing your experience, adventure, and family time.
The two young lads will remember this all their lives especcially when they are much older. Well done for adding some adventure to their childhood!!!
Thank you for including the kids' build! I loved making snow forts when I was little, but always had help from the school's plow haha :) Shelter is shelter and all education is good!
I think that the cabin is so sweet. Thank you for sharing the experience with me. I can not wait to see it when it is finished. All the best to you and your family from me and my five furbabies.
I love this cabin!! The siding is awesome and the whole cabin is just precious!!! Great job guys!
I enjoyed this video so much I didn’t realize that I’ve been watching it for almost 4 hours. I love you guys, and I love what you’ve done together as a family and friends. My only complaint is that I don’t have you guys as friends, to share in the accomplishments and happiness you enjoy together. Be well and continue the great work.
Love the cabin! The roof was an excellent choice!
I love the care taken to open up the forest for the wildlife. Burning all the scrap not only makes for a great way to stay warm while working it's also the fastest and most natural way to encourage renewal in a coniferous forest.
Chris and Kevin, I just watched your cabin build video. Kudos for addressing the whiners. I used to teach, both college and highschool. What I noticed, early on, is what I refer to as the 3 percent clause. What the 3 percent clause refers to is the fact that 1 out of 33 students will whine, say bad things about you, blame their failures on you, and basically be negative about everything. This, I have learned, applies to the whole populous in general. There will always be someone that thinks they know better and more than you, someone that will never be satisfied, and someone that whines about everything. As you are doing, I just ignore them. Looking forward in a positive direction benefits the majority of your viewers. Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Blue Skies and Fair Weather. Faithfully, James
“We gonna do it like the old timers did” Starts the chainsaw...
Hahaha
You wanna make it hard on yourself go right ahead. You will be very lonely and cold.
That foundation really bothers me. How long is that cedar going to last in the ground like that? Five maybe ten years tops? Could have easily dragged in a couple bags of concrete and poured some concrete footers/pads. Then drill in some foundation hardware that keeps the wood above the wet soil.
😂🤣😂 yeah this has got to be the worst cabin ever. Everything they did is so wrong.
@@JohnSmith-jt3bh lol good thing they said it was a *log cabin*
I feel like this is something id watch every month
Same here. There are others that do it but if you don't like the person on camera, it's not the same. Guest cabin next? lol
Ignore the comments that saying that you don’t follow the regulations , you are building in the woods the regulations don’t apply there you can build whatever you want there you follow common sense and most of the people don’t know nowadays what that means i could write a hate comment cause I’m envious I don’t have the chance to do the same but I’m enjoying watching you doing it and i imagine doing it and my hart is filled with joy keep up the good job :) marcel from UK
3:40:12 My family is definitely on board with you 😃 How fun is this?! We now have some new ideas for our own cabin. The wonderful thing about all the YT videos about building off grid cabins, is that you can gather so many ideas, put them together and make it your own. Can hardly wait for the next season!!! Subscribed now 😃
