- In this video I give you the condensed version of building a stove hearth and other cabin updates....a condensed version because I lost a full 4-5 days worth of footage!!! Regardless, I still get to show you some impressive shots I managed to capture since the loss and show you exactly where I am in the Off-Grid Cabin Build
Thanks for tuning in,

Chuck I absolutely 100% enjoy watching your videos. Your story how you got started making videos is truly amazing. Your videos show us that you are a genuine outdoorsman and also a great positive influence. Watching the new camp build has been informative and enjoyable - Great videos Chuck!
Tks Danny. I would have never thought this Channel would have stemmed from it. But, everything happens for a reason for sure. Tks bud.
"Where Friends become family"....
That just says it all...off grid never looked so good 👍👍
Technology is great... when it works!!!
It looks Amazing !! and by the way , you are never boring !!! bring those vid's in !!! alway's nice to watch them !!!
You are too nice my friend 👍
Nothing more frustrating than a technology failure. I'm sure a TON of work goes into these videos. Cabin looks great. Nice work.
Beautiful job on the Hearth and mantle. Somedays modern technology is just a pain in the arse. Glad you were able to save some pictures for us and for you as well of the building of the hearth. I hope some day you build a staircase to the roof so you don't have to climb a ladder every time you need to clean off the solar panels, especially in the winter when its super cold. Give the pups a pet for us and tell Mel that her colours in the kitchen are pretty (teal coffee maker etc), take care, and stay warm, until next time.
A staircase….mmmm now you got me thinkin’!!
She gets complimented on the teal quite often. Usually I do my best to steal that credit as well (just like the clothes washing!) lol
cool
Your hearth is really nice the cabin is looking so cozy.Wish you & your family all the best in 2023.🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍👍👍
Everything looks great. So happy for you and your family. Thanks for the update
Lithium iron phosphate batteries such as the Bluetti are the way to go. Charging 0-100% doesn’t hurt longevity as much, more cycles, no cobolt, less risk of fire and cheaper too.
I have a 100ah for my trailer and love it. Base model Tesla’s come with them, they are heavier and less energy dense but still substantially lighter than my lead acid deep cycle.
Sounds like you know a thing or two about batteries sir! I’m still learning but it’s super obvious nothing can touch the bluetti with the lithium phosphate 👍
Good morning Chuck. Thanks for bringing us along. Till next time, have a great week.
I can totally relate too your neat and tidiness! I admit to my OCD ,lol. Great job.
Nice update. Great mantle.
Humans are not meant to hibernate so spend the winter outside.
Enjoy the Flats bye. 👏👏👏
Another great video Chuck.I am replacing the hearth under my stove and now thanks to you I will be raising my heavy stove as per your back saving device with the ladders and hoists!
Good luck with it bud. It worked perfectly for me 👍
Looks real nice work Melanie as done Chuck a fine job with the laundry 👍👍🤣
I know! I remind her every day 😂
Love that stove and especially the Mantle. Great looking Cabin 👍. So much beauty up there, not sure I could ever get any work done, because I'd be admiring the scenery so much. Thanks for sharing and Stay Warm. 🤠
Tks randy. I’ve been in this location for over 20 years and I can honestly say it never gets old. I love every day. 👍
Just received the same weather station and are really happy with it so far! If we don’t get some snow here in Moncton soon, might have to head to the Big Land😂. Sorry for the lost footage 😢. Dave
Awesome mantle. We made ours from a Tamarac log back in 1983. Your water system rocks, its similar to a rv. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Thanks for the shout out on the cabin sign Chuck. Take care buddy. Love the cabin
No problem sir. Love the key holder👍
Hearth looks great...excellent idea to just lift the stove instead of taking it apart...
Worked incredibly well. I would definitely do it again
You need to build a garage for your toys next. Just saying. Cheers 🇨🇦
Agreed!!! Plz remind me often 😂
Makes more sense to me now how you are using the bluetti👍. Lee loves your placemats if you have any idea where I might purchase them PM me please. You need to get a rechargeable leaf blower with an extension to blow the snow off your panels from the ground. Loving the video. Take care
Haha. Love the leaf blower idea. The placemats were homemade by our wonderful friend. Unfortunately she doesn’t make or sell things outside of the occasional craft here and there. Too bad though she could make a fortune!!
Beautiful spot you have Chuck your hard work is paying off !!
Chuck - thank you, thank you, thank you for the video. Sorry to hear about your lost footage. Looking forward to future videos. Cheers.
Tks Robert buddy
Good evening Chuck looks like your ready for the winter. My son had a 10 day trip to lab city just got home today. Chuck he loved it got to go trapping pine martin shot a few birds had a awesome time. Man you got a awesome spot there now cut some wood lol take care buddy
Awesome sir. There are a few birds on the go again this year. I have to get out and get a few myself. Time is beginning to free up as little. Thanks sir
Awesome video again Chuck, its a love / hate relationship with technology, I had a sim card that worked fine, then just decided to strop working, great work again,
That mantel looks amazing along with the rest of the cabin. Love it!
Tks Darren
You should be proud of your job.
Feel great about it Barry. A lot of time thinking and wondering how things will work in the long run. But that all remains to be seen.
That bigger battery was an excellent idea Chuck. I did not my skandics. Cheers
Sorry meant to say *both* skandics.
Love the whole setup,Location,cabin,Beauty.
Well done Chuck you have a very beautiful home
Thanks for the update buddy 👍 and for the loss footage well it's to bad but that's technology for you. It's coming along great and it looks fantastic 👌 very cozy feeling 😊 well till next time 🍻
Great tour of your dream home. Like your #BLUETTI electric set up and internet set up. All the conveniences in the bush. 👍
Such an awesome view! .👍🇨🇦📷😎🌲❄⭐
Your place is looking fantastic. Too bad about the lost footage. The snow looks awesome. Just came back from cabin. Snow conditions are sickening here. Big mild coming along with my depression. Lol
Unreal sir. Chatting with dad and one day there’s snow and then rain. Not sure how I’d handle that the same now. Some days I’d take the warmer temps tho lol
Everythings coming along great. Looks wicked!
Awesome video chuck I bet you weren’t happy loosing footage but you will make it up I’m sure !
Got my windshield extension from Labrador Glass, works great. Thanks for sharing the idea. Their product is now in Northern Ontario.
Awesome!! I wasn’t aware of that. I wouldn’t ever use my snowmobile without it now.
Awesome Place Chuck! You otta feel proud of all you accomplished this past number of months.
It’s the most rewarding outdoor project I’ve ever done that’s for sure. Ps. Byron and Tina coming for supper tomorrow 👍
You’ll have him on videos by spring. You will have to show him how to fish. Lmao
Wonderful footage and a wonderful update, can't wait to see the upcoming videos. Take care.
Cabin is coming along great!
Look that sled starting up so good. Ready to go !!
Heading out today sir!!!! Wahoo!!
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors You have to be the most talented person I have ever met. Be curious if you could do a test drive from a dealer near you on an electric sled.
Wonderful Cabin. Greadings from Germany 🇩🇪👍👍
Great to hear from Germany! (My son visited once and LOVED it 👍
Coming along nicely!
Thanks for the update!
Cheers! from N.S.
Beautiful Cabin, nice job on the Mantle!
My good god, you guys have sure have done a lot of work in such a short time. And I thought you spent your day drinking coffee and looking out the window. Lol. Great work and i like the idea of lifting the stove, too bad video was lost. Oh well, electronics is like that.
We have a limit of 3 hours per day drinking coffee and staring out the window 😂😂. So far we’ve only broke that rule 40 or 50 times so I think we’re doing pretty good lol!
Yep ... You is doing good...lol
nice video. you have a really good set up in the cabin. having the 3 power sources is really good. the water set up is cool. thanks for sharing.
Great work Beautiful cabin buddy keep the great videos comeing
Lovely mantel,enjoy your videos
Awesome awesome Chuck!!!! Outstanding work you guys have completed there. Soon gonna plan a visit!!!!
Come on down!! Anytime 👍
Great job with the mantle Chuck, I like it!
Tks!
I watch a ton of off grid channels as an off grid person myself . I’m always looking for ways to make my cabin better. I know lots of channels are sponsored by Bluetti. How long will it power your place ? Also what is the washer AB’s dryer? Thanks
The bluetti length of power per day depends completely on the sun. If it’s sunny, with the 1900 watts of panels I have, it stays up on 100% (or thereabouts). If it’s cloudy, I can go about two days, depending on whether or not we wash clothes. The washer and dryer consume most energy at about 1000 watts continuous when two of the machines are running simultaneously. The washer and dryer are a GE product (combo). The dryer uses propane for heat
Thanks for sharing Chuck , almost all done take care , God Bless
Tks Kirk buddy. Getting there
Pretty sweet set-up there bud.
Thanks for sharing. Great video, as usual.
Thanks for sharing a part of you and Mel's life with us Chuck!
Awesome 😊
Great job!
Looking great! Love your videos!
Was beginning to wonder when we would see another update. Everything looks great. You've done very well. Pup is really growing and thanks for the update
Very impressive work.
Thank you ! ❤️
Excellent video Chuck. I really enjoyed seeing all your systems and how they work. The view from your front window is stellar, excellent spot to sit and have a coffee. Cheers!
Thanks bud
Enjoyed the video
ARRRRGGGG! Lost footage is such a nightmare! I know the horrible feeling and can totally empathize with you. I wonder if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions on the weather station: Is the sensor hard wired or does it run on batteries & Wifi? Where did you get it? What is the brand name & model#? Would you recommend it? Sorry for being a pain in the butt - lol
Ohhhh, wait, I forgot to mention how much I loved your hearth and mantel! Very nicely done sir!
Here is the link sir. It’s wireless. I’ve had it since cmas and it’s the third I’ve owned in about 20 years. This one seems to me very accurate in temps and wind speed. Simple to install and easy to read. I like it. www.amazon.ca/dp/B017AHME22/?tag=chuckporterev-20
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors Thanks Chuck. Greatly appreciated!
Cabin is looking awesome Chuck!!
Love that wood stove … I went to a local supplier to see it and get some literature on it.. 6000$.. have to wait a bit.. lol
You’ll like the starlink for sure cheers
Bit pricey roger,but for me, just starting out in a new home and living in the north with 6 months of winter and likely 7-8 months of needing a heat source, it’s purely wonderful and will save me money in the long run. I absolutely love it ❤️
I 100% agree with you, it’s perfect for what you need.. I just have to save a bit of money before I buy one… but will get one just like yours
Great footage !!
Great video buddy
Nice video update👋👋
You must be proud of the vision coming together.. To live off grid with all the amenities is a super accomplishment. Love the mantle and hearth. Very Pretty!
Thanks bud. You and Wendy should take a drive one day and visit. Would love to have you.
Hi Chuck, I have just discovered your channel. Amazing work so far. Congratulations on the new cabin, everything looks amazing. In one of your earlier videos you installed a” Gray water “ tank. Is that normal/needed, I assumed that the sink and clothes washer etc run off typically goes into the septic tank. Thank you.
Yes they can run into the septic tank. However I was concerned about the long run from my kitchen sink all the way to my septic line, specifically to free up in the winter time on such a long travel. I had the travel and I had the container so I went for it. All working out this far 👍
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors that's great, thank you.
You are living the dream. I love what you did with the hearth. Thanks.
Beautiful job on the new home. Question, how loud is the Bluetti fans, is it irritating. Have fun testing your skills. Cheers..
No it’s not too loud or irritating at all. What you hear in the video there is actually my battery charger. You hardly know the bluetti is there. Certainly no louder than the fans on some of the inverters I’ve owned.
Lost footage is heartbreaking! I once lost 30 days of footage from a 60 bikepacking tour with my dog, so I only had footage of the first and last quarter.
Wow!!!!!!! That’s unreal!!!!! My situation was much less intense than that for sure. That’s such a disappointment! Sure hurts tho as you want to share the experience or simply reflect on it yourself. Oh well, move along and hope for better luck next time 👍
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors at least my series has a beginning and end! It would be even worse to have just a middle. Next time I'll be sure not to put 30 days on one memory card, live and learn!
Your place is beautiful. Love the update and what fabulous view. Thanks for sharing & great to see Mel & puppy. Cheers Chuck!
Happy New Year n cheers from da ROCK!
Tks bud. Same to you
Hi Chuck. No worries about the clip. It’s all good. Keep ‘em coming. Be well. Safe journeys. Happy trails!
Everything looks great Chuck, slowly things are coming together. It's hard working in a room that you are trying to live in at the same time. When you made the cut on the mantle I was thinking what my wife would have said. I hope Melanie was ok with that. Thanks for keeping us posted on the progress.
Haha!! She understands thankfully!! It’s part of the project and we know that it’s only temporary. Soon enough I’ll get haggled for even walking in with my boots on so I’m enjoying this temp freedom now while I have it lol!!
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors You will always have the old cabin, the outdoor kitchen and the sheds to work/play in Chuck.
Awesome footage again, Chuck! Very nice job you guys have done there. You should be very proud sir! 🙌
Looking more and more like a home every time, really nice job Chuck!!
Happy New Year Chuck , Mel & family.
Your power systems & water system is amazing. I think the heart of the cabin. With this you are better off than people with Hydro and city water!!!
Looking forward to the next video, CHEERS my friend!!
Tks as always victor. So nice to have you around 👍
Looking so good Chuck you have build such a beautiful home. Love the hearth and the new get outside song
Outstanding video and not at all boring, just the opposite. You're living the dream Chuck, I'm so happy for you guys... Looking forward to seeing your rabbit snaring videos. And talking about the snow, we have 5 of the next 7 days with the chance of rain and on the first blast we could get 100 mm of rain. Meaning Ski-doo trails washed out and another week of no winter camping. It's a strange winter we are having for this area, making it two in a row. All the best to you and Mel.... Cheers PS. let me know when my room is ready LOL
Haha. You’re room will soon be ready sir!!! Would love for you and your lovely wife to visit sometime. That would be a blast for sure.
Been watching your videos and following your incredible series on modified snaring. I absolutely love the way you have brought that to the science level. Amazing. I sure hope the rain goes away, and stays away for you guys. Nothing but a torment when that happens. All the best bud.
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors It's been a crazy two years here on the island for winter weather, Snow one day rain the next. Hard to get out and stay active like that.
fantastic job on the hearth Chuck. Your new home is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on a great job.
Your place is coming along nicely Chuck.Thanks for the updates.
I was wondering if you will answer a some questions for me on the performance of the Blaze King stove so far this winter. What are your burn times and wood consumption? Do you fill it once a day? What type of wood are you burning? How many square feet are you heating and how is your place insulated? Do you use the fan on the stove or do you have enough radiant heat coming off the stove?
You mentioned that you installed the propane heater for times when you are away from the house, so you don't use it at all ? the wood stove provides enough heat on it's own?
I have an Arada Farringdon 16 Catalyst stove and am thinking of replacing it with a Blaze King Princess 32. I'm in Debert Nova Scotia, so your winter might be a little harsher than mine.
Thanks Arch
Hi arch
Burn times are incredibly long, especially if it’s a ‘warmer’ day out (-10 Celsius). Ok this days, I will only fuel the stove twice during the day, and once before bed. I never have to refuel in the middle of the night, even if it’s -40! I’m estimating my wood consumption is cut at least 1/3
I am burning dry spruce. Spruce is ‘middle of the line’ when it comes to heat delivery compared to other woods we have here.
My cabin is 1000 sqft. 8” logs r28 equivalent) with R32 in the attic
I use radiant heat, although I just received the internal fan system and will either install it when it warms up more or early next fall (I can’t install while using the stove 24/7)
I have a propane heater but have only used it a couple times. Basically there were two mornings when it was -55 with windchill factor, so I turned it in for about 20 mins just to accelerate the room temperature while I was waiting for the wood stove to reach its optimal temp after I refilled it. I used it another time when I was away on a trip for two weeks and it assisted in heating the cabin. I actually purchased three more smaller ones as I had no idea how my place would fare in extreme temps, but have decided they aren’t even necessary.
Hope this helps
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors Thanks for the reply. What all have you done for insulation in the floor and the skirt around the crawl space?
@@FarewellAcres I used 1” styrofoam SM underneath my laminate/vinyl flooring sand used the same around my skirting. It is shown in some earlier videos of the cabin build. Worked really well this far. Underneath my cabin stayed above freezing all winter. No frozen pipes 👍
Thanks for the update Chuck...the cabin sure looks great and you mantle job is amazing!! You've done a great job there...take care 👍
Love the water system, great job on the mantle and fireplace area. Too bad the sad card failed but you did a great summary, Thanks for sharing!
Tks bud. I think Darryl is heading down today. I may light his fire for him. He is getting a pure sine inverter and wants to check out any difference in “noise” on his radio. Will be a nice experiment for sure
Wow you have done a outstanding job with the cabin your mechanicals and power grid are awesome love your channel!!
Tks Lisa. It’s coming together. A LOT of time thinking and planning. Thinking and planning. Thinking and planning!! But very enjoyable to watch it come to fruition day by day
Happy New Years !!! Great videos Chuck . Seen you guys at Telus before Christmas and never quite got the opportunity to come say hello.. The wife said she was star struck lol keep up the great work , looks forward to your new episodes. Take care
Really?? It was quite busy that day in the store!!! Mel talked me into getting a new phone as it was a Black Friday sale, and I reluctantly agreed!! Lol. You should have come chatted!!! We love meeting people who watch the channel. Next time ensure you do!!! 👍
Thanks again, Chuck.
The cabin is looking fantastic.
Gonna check the 649 numbers now and see if I can make a few upgrades to my cabin.
Cheers, buddy!
😂goood luck!
You are doing great work on your home! Turning out fantastic!
Beautiful job done on the cabin. I guess it wasn't very cheap to have everything that you have installed. Can't wait to see what's next.
It wasn’t as bad as I originally thought actually. I got my cabin kit at a very nice price. A lot of appliances etc I had at my old cabin. I bought extra lumber at wholesale price. And surprisingly plumbing materials are not as expensive as the rest of building supplies. I was quite happy. I also look at my monthly savings now by living off grid and the financial benefit is immense.
Great video chuck, u do great work, cabin looks amazing. Keep them videos coming.
Thanks buddy and thanks for the pic and your support!!
Hey, Cabin coming along nicely. Just wondering the name of that propane heater. Looking for something I could use as backup heat in my house. Thanks, keep em coming.
Here is the heater link. It’s vent free so I’d only recommend using it for short periods at a time or while you’re away. That’s when I use it. www.amazon.ca/dp/B07YBQZ5JJ/?tag=chuckporterev-20
hi chuck were did you get that switch for your panel that is what i am looking for my cabin great video
Here you go bud: www.amazon.ca/dp/B07T8NWMZ8/?tag=chuckporterev-20
How did you insulate the floor?
I put 1.5” styrofoam underneath the laminate flooring.
I wanted to ask you what type of fan are you running on top of your stove? Mine is 3-years old and its developed an annoying rattle. Thanks. Be well. Happy trails!
Hey bob. It’s called eco fan and it’s made by carframo. I’ve had it for close to ten years now. A slight hum when it’s turning real fast but I always recall that being there.
I was wondering where you’ve been lately. That’s unfortunate about your footage, I know a lot of work goes into filming. Quick question what camera do you use for your main ? Also do you use and go pros for on the skidoo ? Thanks
Hey Josh. I only use a GoPro hero 10 and my DJI magic air 2. A GoPro is the only thing that would stand the environment and punishment I dish out on any given day lol
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors really! That’s surprising because it is great video, I thought for sure you used a higher end camera . Good to know .
Have you tested the water to see if its hard or soft?
Not tested yet but it tastes unbelievably good and leaves your hair feeling incredibly soft. Even our hair dresser has commented on the difference in softness!
That’s excellent, thank you for the answers.
