Building a barrel stove for my Alaskan off-grid Cabin
Building a wood stove to burn scrap wood, and trees that I have for Free heat. Using a 55 gallon barrel, I made a stove out of it, then cooking some bread like Luke in Outdoor Boys.
It’s just a temporary heat source, then I’ll move this stove into a Hot sauna/Steam bath, or “maquii for what us natives call it.

Sheathing the roof for my Alaska Cabin!
มุมมอง 9Kปีที่แล้ว
Sheathing the roof with 3/4” plywood, with grace ice and water shield ontop. Threw a drone up in the air to get some footage Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Working in negative temperatures on my Alaskan cabin 🥶
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
Capping the ends of the BCI joists on our Alaska off-grid cabin. It's well below freezing temperatures, but getting some progress done. Almost ready to sheath the roof!
Got more snow up in Alaska! Snow makes more work, & slows down Cabin construction progress.
มุมมอง 5Kปีที่แล้ว
We’ve had a couple winter storms come through Alaska lately.. Now it’s time to remove snow before getting back to work in the Alaska Lake house, or cabin,, whatever you want to call it.. Sorry about the audio,, I'll get it better in the next video! Here's the boat I'm building this winter, that I'll soon be working on after I get a weathered in with a roof on the lake house / cabin... th-cam.co...

Barrel stoves have a place in construction clean up, closing the door or adding a second barrel only makes creosote double barrel simply makes twice as much 🤣
Yes them old drums many were turned into stoves :) Good job it looks & works good 👍, my friend don't put heat in there without vapor barrier it will condensate between insulation & plywood if the temps are on the cooler side close to freezing at night & then you cover it will be black mold, I watched a couple new homesteaders in Alaska do just that & had to pull all insulation to dry it out :( Then they did one wall at a time after, hope it's not to late ! Timing of vaper barrier is as important as having it there,
Thanks for the tip! Luckily & unfortunately I haven’t been back out there to do more work. I’ve only tried the stove twice so far.. Will get a vapor barrier on as soon as I can though. Thanks 👍
👍👍
Welcome back are you going to put some insulation in the floor
Thanks, my plans have been to insulate the walls & do vapor barrier down in the crawl space when I get to it. Don't know if I'll do the "bubble foil" underneath the floor or not..
Thankyou 😊
Yeah, some people are. People are crazy to build a boat in a bad season also.. ha! Thanks, I miss the old man very much..
Awesome job!
Thanks!
Does the county want to inspect or approve any of your construction?
I like to run wires before insulation (
Me too, but I want to be warm while doing it though too.. I've had other things to do & it's winter time now.
welcome back .good too see you back on cabin build.
Thanks
One ugly boat...
yeah, well thanks for lookin, it's my ugly boat.. I'd like to see yours someday ;-)

멋집니다.
Awesome awesome boat 👍👍👍👍👍💰💰
Thanks, I like it alot. So much room in 32' fishing boat.
What is the price of this boat?
Seriously, what is the price of this boat?
I have 1 million tied up into it, & that doesn't include my time or labor (includes labor that I've paid out thought).
Amazing design Mark Rockstar status
Thanks Leroy!
Nice new boat, just passed you guys. We using rawson boat
Thanks! Hope you had a good season.
@Ambition-AK yup, thanks had a good season
Nice looking boat good luck this season
Thanks! We’re out fishing right now
Oh wow is that new the processing barge they loaded your boat on? both boats are very impressive, hope you're catching up there right now!
Yes, that’s the Northline Seafoods barge. Thanks! We are currently fishing till the end of July
This year marks 40 years since I was in Bristol Bay. Things have sure changed. Good luck to all fishing this season.
Wow, that’s a long time ago huh. My grandpa fished back in the sail boat days, I’m sure he’d be Amazed at the size of my boat.
@@Ambition-AK It is a long time ago. I look at my photos from the late 70s and early 80s and it's a completely different industry. My dad spent his summers tendering in the Bay. Lots of sailboat stories from those times. I think the term "iron men in wooden boats" sums it up well. I was the captain of the tender Bumble Bee in the Nushagak River in 1979. That was a good season.
Nowadays Styrofoam men in kevlar boats lol
Awesome!
Thanks!
Awesome
Thanks Leroy!
Wow awesome skills
Thanks!
Great net fishing video. Brings back memories of when my dad and I had a net and caught fish on the east coast.
Thanks, I wish I could go Lobster fishing over on the east coast..
Great looking boat. Good luck. Thanks
Thanks!
Nice dude, I think I've seen your boat👍
Thanks, it's in the Dillingham boat harbor right now
Thumbs up. OMG.
Thanks
nice build Mark! I enjoyed the previous build and this one looks like a big improvement on several designs. Stay safe out there and have a good season
New subscriber. Nice boat, I like your ambition boat here in Dillingham
Cool, & thanks for the sub!
Boat looks killer nice work what’s the price point on a kit like that.
Kit as in Aluminum only? 100k in just aluminum, add everything else into it and it adds up to 1 Million dollars...
That is one very nice boat, I'm glad you and your crew get to work on such a piece of art, what will be her name?
Thanks. The name of the new boat is Ambition. I'm currently uploading a video of it ready for the fishing season now.
Is this a 32ft?
Yes, 32' long by 17'6" wide
Can't wait to see it finished. Beautiful!!! Thanks
Thanks! Uploading a new video now..
Beautiful boat!
Thank you very much!
So negative. Good job with build thats badass excellent hobby the ol man would be proud
Beautiful boat, Let me know if you need a deckhand!
Seem like a Tommy boat copy.
I'm not familiar with Tommy boats.
Where do you hold all the fish you catch? Those little bins? Nice build, love the crew galley and the engineer spaces, but how are you going to make money? Not a competitor, just asking. Thanks for posting.
The fish go in hatches under the back deck. This boat will hold 10s of thousands of lbs
In the 13 Fishholds, which holds approximately 21,000lbs of fish below deck. I do alright fishing ;-)
@@Ambition-AK Better than me! I hope to eat one of the fish you caught with your awesome vessel! Thanks for the reply.
Very nice
Thanks
Beautiful boat. Very well thought out design and great workmanship.
Thanks
Better hope the red price is better than last year
I'm a 5th generation fisherman, and know fish prices and fish runs go up & down..
Can I ask how much just the metal material kit was? 👀
Aluminum just for the boat, cnc cut out & bent, with extrusions was 100k
Gunna take a lot of 2 dollar reds.........
Amazing work!
Nice boat cuz! Ambition 2?
Looking good! I am always suprised how versatile ratchet sraps can be.
Nice drone footage.
Thanks 👍
Looks beautiful, can't wait to see it in the bay Is this your own design or?
Thanks! This is was designed by Sean DiGaetano
Nice Work Mark, I really enjoyed watching and look forward to additional vids
Thanks, I'll be back continuing to build it, as soon as I finish building my boat.
You are such a hard worker, with so many talents! I am so proud of you!
Thanks sister!
