So Why Should You Subscribe To My Channel? To watch me build my next cabin - bigger and better than this one!.. To relax… To
virtually immerse yourself in nature… To see how I live debt
free, stress free and low cost… To see how I build things alone…
To see how I cook with no electricity or gas… To hear what steps
I took to retire in my mid-forties so I could live my dream life…
To interact with the happiest and most helpful community of viewers
on YouTube… To become more self-reliant. If you want to build a
rustic log cabin or tiny off grid home alone in the wilderness and
you haven't seen the rest of my videos, this is a good primer. It's
super fast motion though, so if you are interested in building a
primitive log cabin like this, take a look at the "Log Cabin
The Bear Den" playlist on the channel. At the beginning of the
video, I show a winter drone photo of the cabin in the snow in
December. Then I flashback to the first balsam fir tree I cut down
with a saw and axe near the cabin. I drag the trees into place and
clear the cabin site. All summer, I cut the notches in the logs as
I built the cabin up, offsite. Once I was finished notching the
logs with a log scribe, saw, axe, adze and wood carving gouge, I
loaded up the entire cabin of logs and moved them to my land near
Algonquin Park, Ontario Canada. Once on site, I spent a month
reassembling the cabin on a foundation of sand and gravel. Once the
log walls were up, I again used hand tools to shape every log,
board and timber to erect the gable ends, the wood roof, the porch,
the outhouse and a seemingly endless number of woodworking
projects. For the roof, I used an ancient primitive technology to
waterproof and preserve the wood - shou sugi ban, a fire hardening
wood preservation technique unique to Japan and other areas in
northern climates. Because the cabin is offgrid, I have used
handtools for most of the build and without power, I have no
options on site regardless. The tiny house will continue to be
operated with power, not even renewable energy for now, so I'm
heating the cabin with a woodstove fire place, which I also cook
on. The cabin is made of cedar fence posts, twelve feet long and
the cabin measures 10 feet x 20 feet inside with a one hundred
square foot sleeping loft on the second floor. The floor is made of
two inch thick pine planks, torched to help repel water and to give
them a rustic barn board appearance. Tune off sound if you don't
want to hear the music, - there is no talking in this silent video.
If you are a subscriber or long time viewer, there is some new
footage at the end of the video, but otherwise you have seen most
of this. As always, I'll release a new video on Friday showing the
progress I made this week on the door and the ice box for food
storage. CABIN LIFE MERCHANDISE HERE:
