I'm in the UP down the road from you. I heat with wood most of the time because it's free and when I gone my propane furnace takes over. It's the best of both worlds!🤣
Eric from Montauk here. since I commented last we've moved to Calistoga, CA. Spent a year there and finally gave up on the hospitality biz. we've been in Newport, RI now since Sept 22' Now I'm in trade school learning composites and marine systems, super cool. Been watching you since the beginning. Favorite channel on the webs. Keep going brother, Long live Ringworm. So, I just met some very nice folks from Victron Energy, they're on a North American tour currently and they came to my school last Thursday. They did a deep dive on the physics of Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistry and I thought of you not being able to use your batteries when it's colder than 40 F. I asked Victron about that and they didn't give me a great answer for why the batteries drain so quickly but they did say that charging LiPo below 40 F. will ultimately create Dendrites (frozen ionic stalactites trying to flow to the anode) forming on the cathode and moving or "growing" thru the one way membrane to the anode. Once the membrane is ruptured the batteries can fail in spectacular fashion. My question was phrased. "If you have to charge and work in sub freezing conditions all the time, how would you run your gear?" Victron said ( "if your battery is too cold to charge, warm it to above 40F. before attempting charging to keep from dendrite damage.Also If you can load the battery by running a tool, the discharge process will also warm the battery so you can charge it in a cold environment.") I hope that is useful for you and that's all I got right now, Keep on rockin' and see you next Saturday. best, Eric in Newport
I asked a Fire Marshall where is the best place for a fire extinguisher and he said by the door. So when you get to it and turn around and see the fire is too big you can keep going out the door. Glad to see you did this too, fires are faster then we realize.
Hey Ryan yeah make sure that you take care of that rib that's not good you don't want it to settle like that you are doing such an excellent job with that rack and what a amazing job you did
I think your doing GREAT like TONY the TIGER SAYS !!! I like that in fact that would be Great for drying out vegs in the summer time for you to have in the winter time !!! You do great work there !!!
Once again, another enjoyable video, I can’t wait until Saturday to watch your next creation. See ya again next week. Hopefully you can build your bed move into the cabin
Cool, You are getting things together. I fell and cracked two ribs on each side of my sternum . I was out of work for ten weeks. I went back to work and put in my retirement papers. I worked with mentally challenged adults who would hit you without cause. Once i hit my full retirement benefits i was out the door. The doctor said only thing i could due for cracked ribs was rest and let them heal. I would follow up with xray since you still have that stabbing feeling going on.
hey Ryan, two ideas, first, put in the small rack you talked about directly over the heater, having a warming spot for food etc would be handy, but more importantly if you drop a sock off the hook, it wont fall directly on the heater and catch fire. Secondly, I've heard all your arguments against wood stoves and they make sense, but if you come a across one, you could consider putting it outside, with the flue coming off the back, through the wall to the inside of the cabin, turning 90 up along the wall and back out at the eave. That way, when you do want to burn some scraps, you can do so in the stove, and get free heat indoors in the process. Saves most of the space needed, and saves some propane every year too. Plus, no harm to have a backup if you cant get out for a week or two.
Last time I injured my back and was told not to do anything strenuous i welded a socket onto a 3/8 piece of bar and put It in my cordless drill. I took the pull start off my mower and chainsaw and used the socket in the drill to start my stuff. To this day i still start my mower the same way 😅. Work smarter not harder 😁
Oh my goddess, I love the way you think, and the pleasure you get from the small things, it’s the small things that make you and {myself included } happy
How crazy would it be to put a small wood burning stove in there in addition to the propane heater? Just so you have options and could save the money on propane, since you have plenty of wood scraps to burn? You need to crawl under that thing and insulate the floor if you want to start winning the battle too. Love your weekly episodes, thank you for sharing with everyone.
Yup, I totally get why he chose propane... it makes sense, that being said... having an EMERGENCY back up of a small, portable wood stove also make some sense. When you're super remote... * Two is one and one is none *
if you go back and watch earlier videos of the cabin build he explains why he used the heater he did and that he plans on building another floor on top of the current one with nicer finished wood, the idea was to get this going so he had a place to stay during the coldest nights of the winter
you can make your bed frame where its solid and use the chicken wire across it but tight and it will give somewhat a support and may be more comfortable than a wood deck they do this in overnight shelters when hiking but use cattle fencing across it to lay your sleeping bag out on
Ryan, you make very nice videos, you can solve a lot more elegantly, it’s the physics, you can’t cheat on them. If you heat and the humid warm air, goes down, it’s good.Just as you heat, the wood saturates on the ceiling and in the corners, it’s not a proper air exchange and the humid air goes up and your problem, you have not solved. In your place Ryan, in the summer, when it’s really warm, seal around your buildings you live in, down on the floor well with boards, then drill a few holes in the floor from above, where you don’t see it and over these holes, Spray everything with a good assembly / insulating foam. First moisten everything that comes into contact with the foam. Greetings from Frankfurt
Here's an idea. You might want to invest in one of those camp stoves and get one that has a removable ashtray so you can empty the ashes out. It's a wood burning stove and that will take the moisture out of your house. You can still run your propane heater in the corner, but the wood stove will pull the moisture. It will dry it up.
Agree. I installed a $100 tent wood stove out back in my she-shed. 1000x better than propane wall heater in stopping moisture and condensation. Welded up a steel shelf to mount the mini woodstove on the wall giving plenty of room and distance underneath to stack mini logs.
shelving, you could try to make torsion boxes out of broad three quarter boards on two by two frames( they could be screwed together not jointed) and using a construction adhesive that water does not affect. You have convinced me that if anyone is attempting this kind of project, The first thing to build is a small pole barn or similar, big enough to work in, with a bunk in the corner,and a damn great double oil drum wood burner nearby !
If you put a small shelf just above the heater, you could get one of those heat powered fans to set on the shelf. As the fan gets warm and starts the turn this will move the air all around the cabin. This will keep the air a more even temp. If you could find a small ceiling fan that won't take much power it would help even out the top emp even more. It would move the warm air up near the ceiling down into the room.
How about a piece of wire rope to hang the outer corner of the bottom shelf to the top shelf and another to hang the outer corner of the top shelf to a ceiling rafter/joist? Support from above rather then below. Or chain - like your floating table.
I have cabin in swamps of the UP also. You need to add a few vents in the ceiling, just regular wall registers. And a few roof vents. This will keep the hot moist air moving through the cabin. If you don’t you will have mold issues in the future. Propane also adds moisture so without a wood stove to really dry it out, moisture will always be a problem. Vent it.
Really enjoy your videos! Had 2 thoughts for you: wraps your steps with chicken wire: less slippery. Also: get yourself a couple if rugs (at goodwill) and cover that floor. Wishing you the best
I know you don't like researching before you build, but check out French cleat type of support system for your shelves. You might find it very helpful. Thanks for the videos!
Hi again i done alot of coments about the moisture abd ventilation broblem, you can read that. In one eposode you was surprice how much wet air you got by just bring in some materials. I did a test over 1 week logging my house when i build it. I put a hygrometer tester on a hall table 33-4 meters from my bathroom, when i get in there without closing the door i can see in the log every time i washing my hands, think how much moisture a person deliver and kitchen, shower propane and cooking. Look at my comments before, maybe 10 of them in dif episodes, most of them about ventilation and moisture barriers inside the house so you do not get wet walls. Special the roof i sugest you buy a rain coat or umbrella
On very cold nights, if you crack the windows open (counter intuitive) about an eighth of an inch you would be amazed at how much moisture would leave.
Drying any thing is taking moisture out of it the moisture has to go some where . If it is your living area it goes into what ever is in that area. I suggest a seperate drying room that has nothing in it that can absorb moisture and vented. Under a building is a good area for drying timber sheltered from rain and snow and ventilated. Some sort of vapour barrier on soil to stop rising damp. It is a good idea to have a vapour barrier on soil under any wood floor areas. Drying inside can also cause the build up of mold
Another enjoyable video. You make them interesting by using all the different angles and perspectives in your footage. With moving your camera around frequently to accommodate these shots I often wonder how much more time it adds to your projects. Walking ahead to place the camera, then driving through the shot, walk back to retrieve the camera, repeat. I appreciate your efforts. Take care of your rib. Maybe consider taking a little time off from making content so you can heal properly. See you next time.
Just discovered your channel the other day and I pulled the plug on a chainsaw mill. I have been tossing around a band saw mill but you put it really good with saying you can easily take the mill to the jobsite. Duhh I'm so glad I didn't get a huge mill
Maybe they should have given you one of those Velcro vests... Of course that was more than 20 years ago for me. I feel for you, I also had badly broken wrist they didn't do a great job setting . I needed surgery and metal and a bone graft to fix it. Hoping for the best for you. Get it seen to.
Be careful you don’t catch your clothes on fire with that open flame, they look really close to it! Great job on the shelves! Take it easy and don’t re agitate your ribs again!✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
I can't WAIT until you varnish the entire cabin! Maybe it's cause I'm a woman and like stuff to look all pretty and finished but I can't wait to see it all finished and furnished! Have you thought about making room dividers? Like an area for you bedroom and office area? Love the videos as always! Hope you're staying warm in this cold! I live in northern Utah in the mountains so it gets cold here too (but I'm allergic to the heat AND cold so temperature, and not even extreme temperature can kill me)
Great work on these projects. It's good that you don't have to rely on me for decision making. There are way too many of them. You're doing great on your own! 😁
Ryan, two projects to think about. First, build a dog house for your generator so that it's a ways from your cabin. Bury a cable in the ground from the generator to the cabin and install a permanent outlet inside and out so you don't have to open the windows for an extension cord. Second idea would be to build an outdoor wood boiler and install a radiator inside the cabin. Use antifreeze in the boiler so it doesn't freeze. You wouldn't necessariy need a pump since hot water rises so it will cirulate naturally. Radiant heat is some of the most comforatable heat and it doesn't add moisture to the cabin.
You could build a small emergency addition that had an area for your scrap and trash wood and be close at hand if you get 10 foot of snow some night. By having a wood stove in that section, that section could have an emergency exit at the top and the heated section could help melt the snow/ice to keep the emergency exit accessible to out side. You could have a tub and or exterior drain so that if you had to dig out you could put the snow in the tub and heat it to drain out and there would be no snow build up inside as you are digging out. (and of course a heated tub could be used for other things as well, maybe a two person sauna, or you could even take a bath or soak in side in "hot' water.)
For the racks, especially a food warming rack, hinges are gonna be the innovation that will be your friend. Since you like to hover over the heater for a bit to get warm, a rack with a hinge on the wall, and just use a cantalevered rope on the corner to sustain its weight when allowed to be down, would certainly be the low tech sollution to that need.
Another great video! You won't need to reinforce your new drying shelves if you attach them to the back wall as well Wait you know this though so I'll just have to watch and see what you have planned. :)
yeah buddy... you appear to be on the mend ... and a trip to the doc would be advised ... I broke a collar bone once and the doc set it with a wrap ...so something external could be created
Thanks for the great videos. A lot of time and effort goes into your content and it shows. As a part time Yooper with an off grid cabin on the Garden Peninsula, what you do is much appreciated. Of course, despite your having listed much of the tools, devices, and equipment you use, this subscriber would also like to know where you got the round, multiple compartment, caddy you used in this video to house various size and type fasteners/screws you used. I'm getting ready to build another semi-small barn and would find this product to be mighty handy. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.
I saw a video where a guy stapled reflectix under his cabin and supposedly it made a huge difference because of the trapped air. He then put it under all his out buildings cuz it worked so well. Just a thought.
DampRid works pretty good... as long as it's above freezing. I have humidity problem in my converted cargo trailer. Plus an exhaust fan. Unfortunately, up here in NW Montana it's frozen half the year so it's hard to remove the moisture. I'm learning though.
Maybe a good thing you could do on camera is brainstorm some future projects, sketch them up. One project would be to build a roofed storage structure for the wood you aren’t ready to use. Yes, stack and sticker. But, no more standing over thawing frozen boards with a sponge for hours (!)
Got any Duct Tape for the Rib??? I have been doing things for myself even BROKE A NOSE and fixed it !!! Used Duck Tape for the forehead when it was open that was a BINGO time there it worked !!! So Try it Ryan it might help you on out!!!
Cold air doesn't hold as much moisture as warm air. That's why it's dryer during the winter than in the summer. As far as the floor being cold, once you insulate, the floor will be warmer. Enclosing the space under your cabins will help keep the floors warm too. Like skirting a house trailer. This keeps out the wind and the lack of movement of the air underneath acts as insulation. On your shelving over the heater, the top won't get as much airflow as the bottom. The bottom shelf blocks the airflow to the top. I might suggest moving one shelf to the wall 90 ° to the right and have them on the same level.
For floating shelves, drive some dowels horizontally into the wall, on the back side of your shelving material drill holes matching the position and diameter of your dowels . Drive the shelf onto the dowels and there you go. Floating shelves.
Build a lightweight insulated camera box. Styrofoam or rigid board. Maybe heated with a hot rock or water bottle. Sound would be an issue. Maybe a separate roof for rain. Add more hanging nails to top drying shelf.
Definitely have that rib ck out. With your abilities to self engineer your ideas. How about a solar window heater, lots of great projects on internet. TH-cam is your dog life, your cabin life, adventures. I made the same exact mistake not insulating my floor. I use propane heat like you do and have been thinking about a small oven device above the heater. Mine puts out enough heat on high to cook something. Take care and my morning coffee break is watching your videos. Rick
I'm thinking a cabinet might be a better idea than shelves. Might be nice to have all your tools in one tall cabinet all hidden from view. Maybe a dresser next to it to hide the socks and undies. Open shelves can look very cluttered. I know it's much less wood and work but you do want to make it look nice. Maybe even some drawers under your desk hrm to hide utensils pens paper rulers etc. Then all you'd see is your 3D printer, computer and microscopes. Would look clean and slick I think.
⛔️ Hey ! Why not have a small ‘Well’ drilled up front where the trucks have access ? Then, you take an IBC Tank up front on a trailer. Maybe an old trailer dedicated to the tank. Park it where ever you want or, take it to each area with 4 gallon tanks and fill one up, move to the next, fill it up and so on ? Always thinkin’,,,, Always thinkin’ ⚠️
THOSE SQUARE NAILS ARE SUPER CLASSY!! LOL,LOL, KEEP WARM, SAFE AND WELL. HOPE ALL GOE'S OK WITH THE RIB! UK.
New project: Covered storage rack to keep the milled lumber from getting full of snow and ice.
He absolutely needs that …. Can you imagine not having to mess with wet lumber sitting in snow and water … horrible …. He has that sky deck that he could build a big ass cabin on top and underneath could be a shop to keep his lumber dry .
I was thinking the exact same thing. Something sort of like a tobacco barn with ventilated sides.
Hard to say..but I think that would have been one of the first things I would have buildt…but of course….Im not Ryan 😊
@@olavbjrneset5675 Yeah a kiln wood be the best new addition/project he could do, I am just saying!
Seems like there’s room under the structure to store short term.
I'm in the UP down the road from you.
I heat with wood most of the time because it's free and when I gone my propane furnace takes over.
It's the best of both worlds!🤣
Well....I have watched ALL of your videos from 1 to 125. I also am a Patreon supporter. Love the channel..... can't get enough.
Morning Rayn please remember to take easy this week. And put some handrails on the outside steps be happy be safe
I second the handrail. Just like the fire extinguisher it's one of those things you need to keep safe
Totally agree be safe dude
I would try the chicken fence on those stairs.

Great video Ryan. Put a passive wood kiln on your build list. This does two things dries your wood and you know where it is. Have fun Buddy.

Use your home as a kiln. Genius!
You could make a drying rack on a rope that you can lower and raise over by your heater in the new cabin.

You should check out the kiln on Walnuts and Wineberries
Great work on these projects. It's good that you don't have to rely on me for decision making. There are way too many of them. You're doing great on your own! 😁
Ryan, two projects to think about. First, build a dog house for your generator so that it's a ways from your cabin. Bury a cable in the ground from the generator to the cabin and install a permanent outlet inside and out so you don't have to open the windows for an extension cord. Second idea would be to build an outdoor wood boiler and install a radiator inside the cabin. Use antifreeze in the boiler so it doesn't freeze. You wouldn't necessariy need a pump since hot water rises so it will cirulate naturally. Radiant heat is some of the most comforatable heat and it doesn't add moisture to the cabin.
il love this channel so much. Take care of that rib.
You could build a small emergency addition that had an area for your scrap and trash wood and be close at hand if you get 10 foot of snow some night. By having a wood stove in that section, that section could have an emergency exit at the top and the heated section could help melt the snow/ice to keep the emergency exit accessible to out side.
You could have a tub and or exterior drain so that if you had to dig out you could put the snow in the tub and heat it to drain out and there would be no snow build up inside as you are digging out. (and of course a heated tub could be used for other things as well, maybe a two person sauna, or you could even take a bath or soak in side in "hot' water.)
If you have some small tubing, split it open to use for edges of things. Lots of applications
My brother has an outdoor wood burner to heat his house works great last for a couple of days after he fills it
Hope ya get better soon fella, been watching your vids for as long as I can remember. Off grid is the way to go
For the racks, especially a food warming rack, hinges are gonna be the innovation that will be your friend.
Since you like to hover over the heater for a bit to get warm, a rack with a hinge on the wall, and just use a cantalevered rope on the corner to sustain its weight when allowed to be down, would certainly be the low tech sollution to that need.
My friend Butchie is driving me nuts asking if you got a dog yet. He is off the computer for now so I am watching and asking questions for him 😊
Rounded all the edges
New project rib fixer upper!
Another great video! You won't need to reinforce your new drying shelves if you attach them to the back wall as well Wait you know this though so I'll just have to watch and see what you have planned. :)
Planned? What is that?
yeah buddy... you appear to be on the mend ... and a trip to the doc would be advised ... I broke a collar bone once and the doc set it with a wrap ...so something external could be created
Aye from the UP!
You could sand the walls in place then varnish it
Can you do the walls in place. Maybe a drywall tool of some kind. Can you hand plane a vertical surface?
Thanks for the great videos. A lot of time and effort goes into your content and it shows. As a part time Yooper with an off grid cabin on the Garden Peninsula, what you do is much appreciated. Of course, despite your having listed much of the tools, devices, and equipment you use, this subscriber would also like to know where you got the round, multiple compartment, caddy you used in this video to house various size and type fasteners/screws you used. I'm getting ready to build another semi-small barn and would find this product to be mighty handy. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.
im in washington. had 25% humidity this winter
I saw a video where a guy stapled reflectix under his cabin and supposedly it made a huge difference because of the trapped air. He then put it under all his out buildings cuz it worked so well. Just a thought.
DampRid works pretty good... as long as it's above freezing. I have humidity problem in my converted cargo
trailer. Plus an exhaust fan. Unfortunately, up here in NW Montana it's frozen half the year so it's hard to remove the moisture. I'm learning though.
Maybe a good thing you could do on camera is brainstorm some future projects, sketch them up. One project would be to build a roofed storage structure for the wood you aren’t ready to use. Yes, stack and sticker. But, no more standing over thawing frozen boards with a sponge for hours (!)
Maybe sew up an insulated cover to keep your camera warm between shots.
@@nitcat1 I swear he had one, dont remember what vid tho
Use cedar clear oil like Olympic and a tampon rag I sanded it with a DeWalt electric da came out nice !
Got any Duct Tape for the Rib??? I have been doing things for myself even BROKE A NOSE and fixed it !!! Used Duck Tape for the forehead when it was open that was a BINGO time there it worked !!! So Try it Ryan it might help you on out!!!
The great thing about working with pine is that it takes stain very well!
Cold air doesn't hold as much moisture as warm air. That's why it's dryer during the winter than in the summer.
As far as the floor being cold, once you insulate, the floor will be warmer. Enclosing the space under your cabins will help keep the floors warm too. Like skirting a house trailer. This keeps out the wind and the lack of movement of the air underneath acts as insulation.
On your shelving over the heater, the top won't get as much airflow as the bottom. The bottom shelf blocks the airflow to the top. I might suggest moving one shelf to the wall 90 ° to the right and have them on the same level.
very good racks, hope the ribb will be ok, after the xray.
Have you considered installing a central vacuum system?
Dont know if you know but propane heaters put of a lot of moisture.
Can't believe he ate the whole thing!
good video
For floating shelves, drive some dowels horizontally into the wall, on the back side of your shelving material drill holes matching the position and diameter of your dowels . Drive the shelf onto the dowels and there you go. Floating shelves.
invest in a smoke alarm. Thanks for the video!
Build a lightweight insulated camera box. Styrofoam or rigid board. Maybe heated with a hot rock or water bottle.
Sound would be an issue. Maybe a separate roof for rain.
Add more hanging nails to top drying shelf.
Railings on the porch might be a lightweight idea.
Definitely have that rib ck out. With your abilities to self engineer your ideas. How about a solar window heater, lots of great projects on internet. TH-cam is your dog life, your cabin life, adventures. I made the same exact mistake not insulating my floor. I use propane heat like you do and have been thinking about a small oven device above the heater. Mine puts out enough heat on high to cook something. Take care and my morning coffee break is watching your videos. Rick
I'm thinking a cabinet might be a better idea than shelves. Might be nice to have all your tools in one tall cabinet all hidden from view. Maybe a dresser next to it to hide the socks and undies. Open shelves can look very cluttered. I know it's much less wood and work but you do want to make it look nice. Maybe even some drawers under your desk hrm to hide utensils pens paper rulers etc. Then all you'd see is your 3D printer, computer and microscopes. Would look clean and slick I think.
Plus cabinets you can move around.
⛔️ Hey ! Why not have a small ‘Well’ drilled up front where the trucks have access ? Then, you take an IBC Tank up front on a trailer. Maybe an old trailer dedicated to the tank. Park it where ever you want or, take it to each area with 4 gallon tanks and fill one up, move to the next, fill it up and so on ? Always thinkin’,,,, Always thinkin’ ⚠️
