In a survival situation absolutely. Shelter, water, fire, food. This is more geared for people who are looking to buy land and start an off grid homestead.
Go to the land auction websites for cheap land. Also tax sales and ask locals who may want to sell a piece of land. You can haul in water at first and then get a well and set up rain harvesting for gardens and animals. Get an old camper with good appliances to live in while you build a cabin. Build a basic cabin that can have additions built on later and then transfer the appliances, wiring and propane from the camper to the cabin. Propane for OD water heater, cooking and heating with a wood stove backup. Sawdust composting toilet until you can get a septic system. Small solar power system to start and expand as you have the money. That is how I went off grid 20+ years ago and still living a very comfortable life with no house payments and no utility bills!
There is a really cool guy who just started a TH-cam channel called Getting Off Grid who is starting his build now and currently working on storage for wood and staying in a tent. He has mentioned that you are his inspiration and using methods that you have shown on your channel. It would be cool to see him build his cabin alongside the series you are planning on doing. You should reach out to him and coordinate the builds together.
I am following the new channel with Sean Paul! being a Mom and Grama, oh my, I am a little concerned for him.💚 Mostly because winter is coming and you have to be ready for it! He is doing a great job, and by himself is a challenge as well.
@@TheGreatWhiteHope209 ok, simultaneously. There are photos, phones, FaceTime, all sorts of ways via Social Media to communicate and build together/simultaneously
I’m watching Getting Off Grid too. Kyle, he mentioned you and your channel in his latest video. He’s determined to use you as an example for building his homestead. I certainly hope he’s able to do it!
Cierra is SO BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A HARDWORKING MAN LIKE YOU. YOU ARE DEFINITELY LIVING THE DREAM OF BEING DEBT FREE & LIVING A LIFE YOU ALWAYS WANTED. MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU!
I’ve lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for over 40 years and this is ligit, lived in a teepee as a kid while dad was building house, lived in dry cabins as an adult hauling water , using an outhouse and going to laundromat for showers all within the city limits, this lifestyle is not uncommon up here
I’ve been watching since the beginning. Always enjoy your videos. It’s phenomenal to see what hard work over time can look like. Congratulations to you and your growing family.
@@KYLESCABINme and my dogs moved to the woods to make a log cabin. It hasn't exactly gone according to plan. I'm on my 5th day of TH-cam and 20th day in the woods ❤️ I bought those spikes you recommend and brought them just need to make a foundation first it's wicked steep
Back in the late 1800's , my greatgrandpa proved up on a 1/4 section of cutover white pine in northern WI - built a log house with a loft from logs and lumber from his own land. It finally collapsed into the cellar about 1990. My dad grew up in that cabin in the 20's and 30's - no electricity, no running water, just a pump in the yard. I slept in that loft as a kid in the mid 40's to late 50's. It can be done, IF you are determined to do so. Kyles channel is the REAL DEAL!
Wow, great story. I wish things weren’t so darn regulated these days. Permits are required for everything, can’t just have fun and build a cabin on some land these days.
I've been watching for years and damn, thinking back to what this property looked like when you and Sierra were in that "tiny house" trailer. From clearing popple and levelling foundation bricks to now. Incredible Kyle, you should be proud bud, wishing you all success in the future 🍻
I have watched you grow over the years and you are amazing. You are a gem to find as it is rare to find someone your age that has built up what you have. Something to be proud of
The God’s honest truth is… Most folks just aren’t cut out for this lifestyle in 2024, as far as the workload is concerned. The idea seems amazing, & most might pull through with clearing the lot & beginning the build, but the fatigue & exhaustion wears in, especially working a day job alongside it. Most realize they miss indoor plumbing, instant hot water, and go crazy swatting insects. That being said, a few rare people who resemble the old breed of pioneers, farmers and settlers does exist. Including yourself Kyle, you are a hell of a workhorse. I myself purchased a cabin that was sort of a blank canvas for me to put finishing touches on. I “kind of sort of” enjoy modern amenities, from the on-demand tankless water heater, to a new septic tank & drain field, over-the-air TV & cell booster. New laminate & modern appliances have been installed. I live comfortably enough, but even that lighter “improvement” wore me out on top of working the land. I think one thing you need to stress to newcomers is time management & workload. The “how to off-grid 101” style of content is encouraging but also needs to be realistic.
Nothing like being self sufficient. More young people need to break from the corporate model their trapped in. Like to see a community of like minded people. Much more rewarding. Keep up the good work!!
We are in the process of building our homestead and I just want to say that unless you have done this it’s hard to truly appreciate the hard work it takes to go from zero to all these wonderful systems that you and your family have put in place. Big big congrats to you guys for making such a great property!!!
You inspired me to build my off-grid cabin. Same size as yours. 20x32. Still working on it but getting closer every day. Out of pocket is tough but doing it. Had to spend big bucks on a septic cause the town required it, but still cheaper than paying someone else to build my house.
Awesome video young man. You are a hard worker. You remind me of me about 50 years ago. You gave great advice for people starting out. I went through much of what you have been doing. I built several cabins in Alaska. A couple of them were totally off the road system. I hauled water and heated with wood for a few years. Now I’m mid 70’s and relive my younger years watching your videos and a few others but you’re my favorite. I wish you and your family many years of good health and happiness. Be safe 😊
So glad to have found this channel! My husband and I just bought 10 acres and are starting the process of creating a homestead and documenting our adventures on TH-cam as well. Will DEFINITELY be tuning into your videos for more helpful tips! ❤
Very solid information . I did the seller carry and it worked out great, I'm almost paid off. Also, if your credit is decent you can finance building materials at Lowes and Home Depot with a no- interest for 12 month promo, thats how I built my place. I also got my real estate license and represented myself and used the commission towards down payment.
Great job Kyle! Some things we have done in the past include a gravity-fed water tank for a modern washer with a small generator to keep the wife happy. A sand point well is an inexpensive option for water. Not every place has shallow water levels though and yes definitely filter the water. Food can be costly. We hunt and raise our own meat, but don't forget a garden and learn to preserve your food to keep it without needing power. Lastly, we keep at least two years of wood supply preferably three. This saved me when I got sick over the winter. We never had to think about fuel for heat or cooking. Again, great job!
what is also an observation of mine is that you have just a couple of tools and you build everything with it. Hats of to you . Greetings from The Netherlands
Wife and I just purchased 36 acres for less then 10 grand from family member we were thinking of what to do with it and came across your video it has truly saved us money we are not rich we both work 9to5 6 days a week in town but wanted something we can come home to away from the city buscle thank you for helping us with our decision
This is what I'm planning in the future around next 10-20 years when I start a family and enjoy the good life of wilderness and peace. No desk job slaving away to coming home with bills and car payments but a peaceful life away from all of that to be out in the wild. That's the dream.
it’s really nice you want to teach basic living options..to live off grid is hard work..but also better..especially gardening & having livestock..so you know where your food is from..
Love your videos! You have carved out a pretty nice life for you and your growing family! If I weren't an old 52 year old man I would totally do what you have done. Good luck and keep the videos coming!
I like your videos Kyle been watching for years .I'm impressed on your skills and determination. Now when the baby comes you might not have alot of time . From a person that went through what you guys are going through 37 years ago. Please take some time to be with ciera and the baby .
I have huge respect for you & others who live like you. It's not an easy lifestyle by any means, but very simple & rewarding! Your videos make me reflect on things like my water waste, 9-5 job, & reliance on material items/goods for happiness. Keep on making this content as long as you enjoy doing so -- you're helping more people than you realize!
Good vid Kyle. All good points. A place of one's own. The dream. That's how you start and how you do it on the cheap. You don't have to anymore than the basics. A good chain saw and knowledge of how to use it. You could take your well shed and box it in and make a small make do cabin out of it in a day or so. Dirt floor with a wood burner, there you go you have shelter. I've used those blue Colman jugs for over thirty five years now. They never wear out. Start simple and much as yourself keep building til you get it the way you want it. Peiople need to know the lay of their land as well. Floods, water,wind, sunlight for solar things like that. You've never felt rich til you don't have any bills. Even if you don't have money. But now you have to get with it and make it happen. Everyday is a work day at something. Next time, look forward to the new build. Hey does that place have a well? I don't remember seeing one.
Great that your telling people they can start their own homestead and what you did to have what you have today. I’ve seen all your videos and it’s a lot of work but you and Cierra have decided this how you want to live. Great job. Until your next video,take care and be safe. (Judy NB)🇨🇦🌲
What’s up Kyle how’s Cierra doing. Is she comfortable? I would love to be twenty something again. You are so blessed. Can’t wait for the baby. Can’t wait to watch the new log cabin build. I miss the old log cabin. I’ve watched the whole process of both .
I’ve learned so much from you. I had never heard of a power station (eco flow) until you were showing your set up. So besides my tiny house, that was my first big purchase. I will also have a dry cabin with a compost toilet. All setup the way you are setup. Thank you so much!!! ❤ from Tennessee!!!
Awesome info to chew on before taking the dive! Ya'll have been doing a fantastic job, not only talking about off grid, but showing and living it. Love what ya'll are doing 😊
This is such a great video, Kyle thanks so much for taking the time to go through all this to let people that are wanting to do this be able to know what they need to have upfront before learning later on as they go. I hope Cierra doing OK. Miss seeing Skeeter in your video. Take care. I wish I could live the life your living right now. I’d do it in a heartbeat.
I found your channel by pure luck. I've watched almost every episode. I remember when you got your puppy Skeeter 🐶 ♥️. In everything, you'll come across people who try to criticize your efforts. I like how you humbly accept and correct that. Your a true pioneer Kyle and best wishes for your little growing family ❤❤ Looking forward to the next one 😀 👍 😊
Can I tell you something that foam seat is very smart I worked outside in Michigan and we had a used porta potties and sitting on that seat in the cold when it's 30 below zero and sitting on that seat you can't even focus on going to the bathroom cuz it's so cold but that phone see is a brilliant brilliant idea
Hi again KYLE Amazing story you have and even more how you've accomplished all you have and how you've reached your goals along the way. This vid will help many for sure. Appreciate what an all around great person/guy you are. You'll be a wonderful Dad. Thx as always for sharing. Catcha next one.
GREAT REVIEW ,klye, remember the homemade cabin, , ate alot of Brats back then, think I'll go back and watch them this weekend, good ole days, yall have come a long way❤
For many beginners of Off-grid the main struggle is what you covered in first 2 minutes, understanding wisely your use of money! I started to add my yearly costs to spreadsheet and find out that almost 50% is groceries suprisingly! And I am not totally yet Off-grid as I have powerline still.
Wow, you've come a long way Kyle and you should be very proud of yourself on what you have accomplished in just a few years. So now you are going to be a Daddy and I'm very happy for you and Sierra, God Bless You Both ❤😊❤
Man if I ever get the chance to do this I will always go with your videos!! Until then I’m going to have to just live vicariously through you. Haha, Love the videos
You could also winterize your well and run a simple pressure system to get the water to the house. The cost of drilling your well must be far more expensive than the plumbing. An indoor bathroom with a compost toilet or small septic system would be convenient and your waste water and sewage would be safely dispersed. When your little one comes in the fall running to the outhouse in January might be a chore. Sixty years ago we used a 30 gallon water tank in the attic and a hand pump to fill it. The water then flowed to the kitchen and bathroom by gravity. Much easier than an outhouse and carrying water jugs.
I really appreciate your hard work i am from India i love watching your videos. Congratulations for your family I am exited to see a completed new cabin.
You're so great at giving advice about off grid living. You sure have come a long way, and I said it before, Cierra is fortunate to have a great hard working husband like you. You're also a caring person. But there's one thing you didn't mention. A person needs to have physical strength to live off grid. Or as you mentioned, money which would come in handy to hire help. Blessings to you and your family! I have admired you and Cierra for quite sometime!
I would say for all ages... I'm 54 and got some land about 6 months ago, and thankfully, I've been following Kyle for some time and taking notes on how to do a few things... he really is inspiring 😊
Your videos are amazing and very unique. You go straight to the point and explain everything clearly. I can't think of many channels that offer what you do here. This is the real "how-to" for off-grid living. Thank you so much!
Besides hard work which you are #1, you gotta have common sense. Thankfully, I see you young folks homesteading, homeschooling doing things like our wonderful ancestors did. Thank you Kyle and Cierra for these wonderful videos and all the hard work you do. November will be here in a snap, and a precious baby will be born to you two. You are ready. Take care and we love you.❤
I sold my 67 Fastback and payed off my house, it is a very old farmhouse built in 1927. Best decision I ever made. I'd rather own my house than a showcar. One thing we havent done is get the windmill working again, I would love to use it for my animals
Congrats on being a father Kyle. Love the videos and you inspire me greatly. Only 19 but I’m sure I’m going to be watching your videos up until the point of me owning my own land and building my own place!
You’re awesome man! An inspiration to all young folk out there who have this same dream! Hopefully it will be a reality for me soon down here in Tennessee.
I have lived off of rain water for 27+ years and still do to this day. Never been sick from it and only run a small filter to stop large chunks of whatever. Best tasting water and is very cold to drink in the winter and it's free and unlimited. I am looking into a power bank solar panel inverter setup for a good price for complete off grid no utilities payments only garbage pickup.
Thanks for producing this video, Kyle. I've seen several of your others and enjoyed them all. This one is particularly inspiring, maybe because I'm just at the point of pursuing my own dreams of independence, with 10 wooded acres purchased, and a cabin foundation begun. There's a pre-existing outhouse on site, functional but primitive. I'll have fun building a higher-end, more comfortable replacement, and sinking my own well, safely distant. Keep up the good work. Your videos are a true service to those of us desiring the same lifestyle.
First thing is a roof over your head honey.
In a survival situation absolutely. Shelter, water, fire, food. This is more geared for people who are looking to buy land and start an off grid homestead.
That's what the tent is for.
Exactly @@TheQuietTyper
@@KYLESCABIN so are you still in Oregon?
A well site, water is always more important. Water is needed for concrete.
Go to the land auction websites for cheap land. Also tax sales and ask locals who may want to sell a piece of land. You can haul in water at first and then get a well and set up rain harvesting for gardens and animals.
Get an old camper with good appliances to live in while you build a cabin. Build a basic cabin that can have additions built on later and then transfer the appliances, wiring and propane from the camper to the cabin. Propane for OD water heater, cooking and heating with a wood stove backup.
Sawdust composting toilet until you can get a septic system. Small solar power system to start and expand as you have the money.
That is how I went off grid 20+ years ago and still living a very comfortable life with no house payments and no utility bills!
Great advice. The gradual growing approach seems much more realistic and manageable, thank you.
Fareal
Can you elaborate on land auction websites? thanks

Build together? one is in Alaska the other is in Michigan, dont think that will work out.

The idea seems amazing, & most might pull through with clearing the lot & beginning the build, but the fatigue & exhaustion wears in, especially working a day job alongside it. Most realize they miss indoor plumbing, instant hot water, and go crazy swatting insects.
That being said, a few rare people who resemble the old breed of pioneers, farmers and settlers does exist. Including yourself Kyle, you are a hell of a workhorse. I myself purchased a cabin that was sort of a blank canvas for me to put finishing touches on. I “kind of sort of” enjoy modern amenities, from the on-demand tankless water heater, to a new septic tank & drain field, over-the-air TV & cell booster. New laminate & modern appliances have been installed. I live comfortably enough, but even that lighter “improvement” wore me out on top of working the land.
I think one thing you need to stress to newcomers is time management & workload. The “how to off-grid 101” style of content is encouraging but also needs to be realistic.
Some people enjoy this type of work, its theurapetic, its play
honestly you are so right, i wanna do this so bad but i would miss literally every single one of the things you listed :/
Nothing like being self sufficient. More young people need to break from the corporate model their trapped in. Like to see a community of like minded people. Much more rewarding. Keep up the good work!!

For many beginners of Off-grid the main struggle is what you covered in first 2 minutes, understanding wisely your use of money! I started to add my yearly costs to spreadsheet and find out that almost 50% is groceries suprisingly! And I am not totally yet Off-grid as I have powerline still.
Thank you Kyle! I needed this video more than you’ll know! Thank you for sharing your knowledge as always love watching and learning.
Wow, you've come a long way Kyle and you should be very proud of yourself on what you have accomplished in just a few years. So now you are going to be a Daddy and I'm very happy for you and Sierra, God Bless You Both ❤😊❤
Yeah! New upload! Can't wait!
Great video your right on.
Execellent summary of priorites... My advice... start as soon as you can... the younger the better.
Man if I ever get the chance to do this I will always go with your videos!! Until then I’m going to have to just live vicariously through you. Haha, Love the videos
You could also winterize your well and run a simple pressure system to get the water to the house. The cost of drilling your well must be far more expensive than the plumbing. An indoor bathroom with a compost toilet or small septic system would be convenient and your waste water and sewage would be safely dispersed. When your little one comes in the fall running to the outhouse in January might be a chore. Sixty years ago we used a 30 gallon water tank in the attic and a hand pump to fill it. The water then flowed to the kitchen and bathroom by gravity. Much easier than an outhouse and carrying water jugs.
They also have a composting toilet in the washroom in the cabin.
I really appreciate your hard work i am from India i love watching your videos. Congratulations for your family I am exited to see a completed new cabin.
It really does seem like a great way to live. You are doing it right, Kyle! 😀
I look forward to both of your videos!!❤ As always, it's a great video!
Thanks for the video Kyle. You have inspired my wife and I to buy some land and start living a simple meaningful life. So thanks
You're so great at giving advice about off grid living. You sure have come a long way, and I said it before, Cierra is fortunate to have a great hard working husband like you. You're also a caring person. But there's one thing you didn't mention. A person needs to have physical strength to live off grid. Or as you mentioned, money which would come in handy to hire help.
Blessings to you and your family! I have admired you and Cierra for quite sometime!
Looking forward to the update on ur addition & the new build. 😊
You definitely know how to survive and live. I think you need to write a book on how to build a life living off the land. ❤
Great information for all those young people out there Kyle 👍😎
I would say for all ages... I'm 54 and got some land about 6 months ago, and thankfully, I've been following Kyle for some time and taking notes on how to do a few things... he really is inspiring 😊
Great advice Kyle, You have really put a lot of hard work into your place, It's looking great! Thanks for all the information, keep up the great work!
Another informative video, thanks.
Your videos are amazing and very unique. You go straight to the point and explain everything clearly. I can't think of many channels that offer what you do here. This is the real "how-to" for off-grid living. Thank you so much!
Besides hard work which you are #1, you gotta have common sense. Thankfully, I see you young folks homesteading, homeschooling doing things like our wonderful ancestors did. Thank you Kyle and Cierra for these wonderful videos and all the hard work you do. November will be here in a snap, and a precious baby will be born to you two. You are ready. Take care and we love you.❤
Such a beautiful lifestyle, I'm definitely learning a lot from you!
Thanks for the insight. On getting started alone.
I sold my 67 Fastback and payed off my house, it is a very old farmhouse built in 1927. Best decision I ever made. I'd rather own my house than a showcar. One thing we havent done is get the windmill working again, I would love to use it for my animals
Congrats on being a father Kyle. Love the videos and you inspire me greatly. Only 19 but I’m sure I’m going to be watching your videos up until the point of me owning my own land and building my own place!
Love this! Thank you for sharing!
I was one of your first subscriber's,
You’re awesome man! An inspiration to all young folk out there who have this same dream! Hopefully it will be a reality for me soon down here in Tennessee.
I have lived off of rain water for 27+ years and still do to this day. Never been sick from it and only run a small filter to stop large chunks of whatever. Best tasting water and is very cold to drink in the winter and it's free and unlimited. I am looking into a power bank solar panel inverter setup for a good price for complete off grid no utilities payments only garbage pickup.
Great information Kyle!
Great Job Kyle
Thanks for producing this video, Kyle. I've seen several of your others and enjoyed them all. This one is particularly inspiring, maybe because I'm just at the point of pursuing my own dreams of independence, with 10 wooded acres purchased, and a cabin foundation begun. There's a pre-existing outhouse on site, functional but primitive. I'll have fun building a higher-end, more comfortable replacement, and sinking my own well, safely distant. Keep up the good work. Your videos are a true service to those of us desiring the same lifestyle.
