ok i watched about 90 percent of your videos. very entertaining. my questions . why not set up an amazon wish list. viewers can gift you stuff as you appear to be doinf this pretty frugally. second a canvas tent with a wood stove.. 3rd why not build saunna you have the skills and this would be a perfect place for winter relaxing. have fun . god bless
lol you know it has been a long long time since i found a channel i get excited for post day . and re watch videos ive already seen to the point of knowing them almost word for word . but after 14 years on you tube you tube still surprises me a little bit . i hope you never stop having fun out there buddy . cause for for me and from the looks of them comments im not the only one who looks forward to them . still would love to see the ring worm sky scraper . you know three or four story mini cabin . would it still be a mini cabin at that point ? i dont know but it would be great fun to watch you build it . i think a spring to fall build kinda thing . or maybe just mill lumber all spring and summer so you have wood to build with all winter . hell if you decided to do two videos a week one for building and another video of you just doing random what ever it is you do when your not filming lol . hey i would not be mad . lets take a vote everyone who would watch Ryan do what ever he does when hes not filming a video video once a week leave a comment below saying you would watch a video of Ryan doing what ever hes doing when hes not making a video video . lol ok buddy stay warm work safe and ill see you in next weeks video not counting the times i re watch this video .
I truly enjoy watching your videos much more than any other ones on youtube. You don't spend half the episode of cooking outdoors. I get it, men can cook outdoors in the wild. It's called barbecuing!!! Your channel is more entertaining because you don't really follow a plan and you make changes on the fly. Keep it up, I'm enjoying this channel immensely.
Nice work on the cabin. Keep practicing on the quick shooting, you'll get there..Love your wit.. Put screen on the windows and or put a portable air conditioner to use in the summer and to keep the bugs out..Since you have a jackery and charging panels.. You'll be very comfy..God bless🇺🇸🌹❤️
If you use some Reflectix (bubble wrap with a mylar facing on both sides) on top of the floor and then add another wooded floor on top it will be much warmer. Even if you just staple it to the underside of the floor joists it will help. Put it on the ceiling and the shed will stay much warmer in the cold. Reflecting the stove heat back down. And keep the place cooler in the summer too. Lots of Alaskans use it for almost everything. Even just putting it on the bed underneath your sleeping bag will make a huge impact. Love the channel. If nothing else I've learned about a bunch of great reading material! 👍
You’re inspired me i went and got a chain saw mill like yours just bigger our trees are bigger then yours. With the price of wood I figured I can mess up quite a few and still come out smelling like roses 🌹 I already have a big chain saw just need to get more chains you’ve given me so many idea’s can’t wait to get started we get lots of storm’s so trees are easy to get free just need a trailer and a good winch plus I have 2-3 hundred black walnut trees on my property not the best building wood but free is free looking forward to every Saturday when you have a new video out it’s become my special coffee time personal leave me alone time thanks and keep them coming
Greetings Ryan, hey, I’m sure Sarah would love a place that’s warm. I think she’s an awesome person for going your ways, but it should be give & receive in a good relationship, as you get older the cold does affect your well being! thanks!
My favorite build was the deer castle... now it's hard to choose between that one and this one! Nice job on the man cave. As a fellow Michigander and a mom, I'm glad you built this one... I won't be worried about you on those crappy nights.
Great vision and great carpentry. A great sense of humor you have and it cracks me up when you say: "do whatever you want" lololol. Gods blessings and have a great week.
Hi Ryan. I think U did an awesome job on your cabin/work shop. U can build anything it seems & I love it. I'm glad U can have a place to warm up or even live in thru the winter at least. I worry about U out there in the cold like that. Now since U have this not so bad. Wish U could make 2 video's a week. I can't hardly wait for Saturday's. Your video's are always first. Be safe-- God Bless... Phoenix
Great progress on man cave/tool storage/weather shelter/work shed. If you're going to thin out cedar might be worth considering a sauna + shower house (mostly for guests, but also, before you hit the habitat stores - they'll thank you.)
We've been watching you for a looonnnggg time now and totally love your vids! Seriously think Ryobi should sponsor you! Great job, and thanks for always giving us a laugh!
I love that your out there doing your own thing living how you want to live but I also love how we’re still all human and get tired and loose motivation in your previous video you mentioned how you didn’t want to mill all those logs in the snow all day but look at you now a new video new day all refreshed and not even thinking about what you didn’t want to do just simply getting to it I guesss my main point was that it’s ok to take a break and feel like not wanting to do something,sometimes loosing motivation is good because then you get to take a break and come back twice a strong
Lumber is a fortune and our man here is surrounded by beautiful fat cuts of the most exquisite wood that just falls down around him essentially for free.
I do love your attitude and your presentations. You really do need to insulate the walls in your cabin. You will reap a good thermal benefit by doing so. God bless wilderness people.
I had another channel playing on my phone. I heard it finish, came back to the phone like 10 minutes later was about to switch the you said northern Michigan so I subscribed . I’ll came back and watch more
Looks great!! Stay safe... by cutting corners lol. perfect... I suggested a few things along the way but I dont think you heard me, must have had the saw running... oh well. Enoy and stay warm from your Michigan neighbors in the Manistee Forest :)
Love the cabin, place to get warm, place to sleep, place to cook if need be in really bad weather , heat water right on the little stove . Work space . Way to go !
I appreciate your honesty. We always seem to get better about the things we need to do also once we get really cold. Or I find that I start getting tired after a long winter and want to just be warm here in the mountains of Colorado.
Hi from North Idaho, I quit my job last year, turning 62, been doing some chainsaw milling, not as prolific as you. Your videos help get me ambitious for things to make. Thanks.
Here's a tip for putting in long coach screws, dip the tip in the grease pot or even just a pot of any oil and it will make it so much easier that your battery driver will get twice as much done. Love your videos. You entertain and inform and encourage. I admire your self discipline and tenacity, it is inspiring. More strength to your arm fella.
Just wanted say that you are an absolute pleasure to watch on your channel. Love sharing your journey's to complete different projects. You seem to really enjoy what you do and your life. I have a new found respect and love for the outdoors life and I am really enjoying the outdoors as of lately as well. You are inspiring young man. Truly an inspiration... So thanks for that!👌👍
I get so excited about Saturday morning to watch your episodes! Thank you for continuing to post and for doing what you do. You’ve even inspired me to start my own channel recently. I’m just starting out and have a LONG way to go before I get to your calibre of content but wanted to thank you for the inspiration and entertainment! Please keep the amazing content coming!!! :)
Of course you are a violist. From Michigan. Ah. It makes such sense. The rugged playful intelligent creative individual. Carry on my brother. You make me laugh. 9 yrs since I've been home to Michigan. Its nice to see it with you. Miss my viola too. Now if I'd just crack open to case
i live in Northern lower Michigan and been subbed for awhile and i cant get enough of your content lol. i live a similiar life and get a kick out of sorta seeing the same!
Good morning from northern WI. I’ve been doing something similar to you for the last two years. Except I actually bought a sawmill. I’d be interested in comparing some notes. And bouncing ideas off each other.
Well AMAZING just does not begin to validate you . Great entertainment , and vids . I was wondering when you would use the triangular brace , it frees up so much floor space .Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure . much more to come ,, I hope .
As epic as always! Love the man cave, the work tables and bed and so cool, shooting from the hip! Make yourself a holster like John Wayne and dial that gun slinging in, too cool! Thanks so much!
A table and chair, maybe 2, would be really nice and give it a "home" feeling. I don't think you will regret it. Nice job as always! Your channel is fun.
I enjoy listening to you reason out how or why you should build something. I usually fast forward the long milling, planing, grinding segments & go to the actual building of whatever it is you're building. Your life in the woods looks serene & enjoyable. I'm in Wisconsin & we had 40-50 mph winds yesterday & below zero temps, but spring is just around the corner. Take care & stay safe.
Thanks for the extra long video this time Ryan! Your heated shack turned out awesome! Even if you aren’t excited about sleeping in it I am looking forward to hearing about you Surviving Ringworm’s in a heated shack !!! BTW, I’m on my annual ice and solitude trip right now at my fishing shack on an island in northern Minnesota. By most standards it is a humble cabin but I’m feeling a bit guilty about having electricity, heat and insulation. I don’t have any indoor plumbing however so my family really thinks I’m roughing it. 😜 Thanks again Ryan!
Wish we had the cedars around here like that, mostly oak and red cedar but the red cedars are usually pretty small. Goal this year is to start on a small cabin.
Ryan, use the totes you have everywhere for storage to hold up shelves, desktops and fold down beds while you assemble them! Use what you have to make it easier on yourself since you're the only one there. Have to protect the property owner! Love the videos and your take on life.
Instead of Saturday morning cartoons when I wad a kid, now I got surviving ringworm, great start to day ,gets me motivated
Without saying too much crap i really enjoy watching what you have too put together.
Coffee with Ringworm is my Saturday morning tradition
Thanks for being here every Saturday, means a lot to me.
You’re funny pretending to be hopeless, when actually you’re very clever ! Love the bench 👍🏼
I love when you directly ask my opinion. It really makes me feel part of the build.
ok i watched about 90 percent of your videos. very entertaining. my questions . why not set up an amazon wish list. viewers can gift you stuff as you appear to be doinf this pretty frugally. second a canvas tent with a wood stove.. 3rd why not build saunna you have the skills and this would be a perfect place for winter relaxing. have fun . god bless

Yay!! Perfect Saturday morning!! 🥰
Thank you for your videos! The little cabin is great! Dawns here ☀️Irish girl from California

Dude, you're right. You're living the dream.
I can't wait until I can afford a block of dirt of my own, away from the city.
Nice work on the cabin. Keep practicing on the quick shooting, you'll get there..Love your wit.. Put screen on the windows and or put a portable air conditioner to use in the summer and to keep the bugs out..Since you have a jackery and charging panels.. You'll be very comfy..God bless🇺🇸🌹❤️
Brother I do Not know many people with chainsaw skills like you 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 bad ass

I have seen some pretty cool videos about that stuff. It would be cool if he did an experiment with it to see how much it helps
You could make some three leg stools to sit at the tables if you need to

You are right down the road from me.
I bet you are having fun this Saturday morning with that wind.
I'm glad I have a house.😀
Dawns here ☀️

My Saturday morning is good now with this upload. Thank you. Getting a late start but this will get me moving
Hmmmm. Maybe a storage loft in there ? 🤷🏻♂️. Thanks buddy ! Love what you do ! Be safe
Your episodes are the highlight of my week.
I always look forward to your channel...I'm envious of the freedom you have .
Hi Ryan. I think U did an awesome job on your cabin/work shop. U can build anything it seems & I love it. I'm glad U can have a place to warm up or even live in thru the winter at least.

Your work benches look good and solid. Your man cave is coming along very nicely.
Love my Saturday dose of ringworm.
Wow your as good with the chainsaw as you are with using the mill awesome job stay safe a nd be well Bob Bitchin!!

Lumber is a fortune and our man here is surrounded by beautiful fat cuts of the most exquisite wood that just falls down around him essentially for free.
The little things that make a tool shed feel like home! You got me...
Man, that is a great, functional space now!
I must confess, all week long I look forward to Saturday morning to watch your new videos. Keep up the excellent work!
Another awesome video thank you
I do love your attitude and your presentations. You really do need to insulate the walls in your cabin. You will reap a good thermal benefit by doing so. God bless wilderness people.
I was thinking a skirt around the outside might help block the cold air from under the floor. Beautiful shack.
Sounds good to me.. Wish I would've had that much energy when I was younger.
"Rippin' off a few rounds" Nothing is better.
I had another channel playing on my phone. I heard it finish, came back to the phone like 10 minutes later was about to switch the you said northern Michigan so I subscribed . I’ll came back and watch more
The older we get the more we appreciate comfort
Looks great!! Stay safe... by cutting corners lol. perfect... I suggested a few things along the way but I dont think you heard me, must have had the saw running... oh well. Enoy and stay warm from your Michigan neighbors in the Manistee Forest :)
Love the cabin, place to get warm, place to sleep, place to cook if need be in really bad weather , heat water right on the little stove . Work space . Way to go !
Your chainsaw work is epic
I appreciate your honesty. We always seem to get better about the things we need to do also once we get really cold. Or I find that I start getting tired after a long winter and want to just be warm here in the mountains of Colorado.
Best part of milling your own lumber.... You can make things work. (One way or another)
The Man Cave / Tool Room looking so good. Your so Awesome on that Chainsaw
Pretty convincing. Living in the woods seems pretty awesome
It is a lot of work but it seems like fun work
Hi from North Idaho, I quit my job last year, turning 62, been doing some chainsaw milling, not as prolific as you. Your videos help get me ambitious for things to make. Thanks.
It you use forty fives back to your wall studs, you will save room and not have to use legs. Awesome job job the cabin. Great videos.
Love the wrangler, I got the all black model, pretty cool piece
Made some glop soup the other day...I'm a fan 😋
It’s coming together nicely.
Here's a tip for putting in long coach screws, dip the tip in the grease pot or even just a pot of any oil and it will make it so much easier that your battery driver will get twice as much done.

Those lumber stretchers they're hard to find but if you invent one you won't have anything else to worry about your whole life
I get so excited about Saturday morning to watch your episodes! Thank you for continuing to post and for doing what you do. You’ve even inspired me to start my own channel recently. I’m just starting out and have a LONG way to go before I get to your calibre of content but wanted to thank you for the inspiration and entertainment! Please keep the amazing content coming!!! :)
It’s been a blast watching some trees turn into this cabin/man cave. I feel inspired to build something myself.
Watching from west branch👍
More Michigan folks! ✋
Hey! Just found your channel. Awesome stuff. Subbed… 😁👍
Continuing to watch and love your videos ‼️
Excellent! Stand by, I will be right back, I’m just going to take my chainsaw and free hand a 4x4.
Of course you are a violist. From Michigan. Ah. It makes such sense. The rugged playful intelligent creative individual. Carry on my brother. You make me laugh.
9 yrs since I've been home to Michigan. Its nice to see it with you. Miss my viola too. Now if I'd just crack open to case
Wood stretcher!Excellent
Thanks for your video I like the new cabin it looks like it’s going to be a great place for you to hang out .
Thanks so much for the wicked nice update build. Hoping you and Tito have a great adventure, be safe!
Good progress with everything. I say rebuild the range in the spring. Would love some range content.
Coming along nicely Ryan good job 👍
That turned out so nice.now that it's mostly done can come build me one now.lol.love it
Insulation...dry wall, plaster, paint....will never cross the portcullis of Castle Ringworm!!
thanks man, inspirational stuff!
Living the Dream Man👍 your utility cabin looking very good! Quite impressed. You have amazing talents👍Enjoy your channel!B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
i live in Northern lower Michigan and been subbed for awhile and i cant get enough of your content lol. i live a similiar life and get a kick out of sorta seeing the same!
Always enjoy watching your posts. Keep it up.

Well AMAZING just does not begin to validate you . Great entertainment , and vids . I was wondering when you would use the triangular brace , it frees up so much floor space .Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure . much more to come ,, I hope .
You definitely need a Log storage Shed for next Winter
Ryan what about under the solar panels You got wood there!!! You Got a BOO BOO there on that log hey there Big BOY!!!
So darn neat. I look forward to your videos every week.
As epic as always! Love the man cave, the work tables and bed and so cool, shooting from the hip! Make yourself a holster like John Wayne and dial that gun slinging in, too cool! Thanks so much!
A table and chair, maybe 2, would be really nice and give it a "home" feeling. I don't think you will regret it. Nice job as always! Your channel is fun.
Very cool. I like the way it turned out. Looking forward to the next one
I love what you do on ringworm
I enjoy listening to you reason out how or why you should build something. I usually fast forward the long milling, planing, grinding segments & go to the actual building of whatever it is you're building. Your life in the woods looks serene & enjoyable. I'm in Wisconsin & we had 40-50 mph winds yesterday & below zero temps, but spring is just around the corner. Take care & stay safe.
Thinning out the trees should also encourage the undergrowth and make the forest ecosystem healthier
if you stop the wind from flowing under your floor you will keep the warmth thieves from stealing your comfort.
i love watching your channel! very talented
Cool cabin you build :)
Thanks for the extra long video this time Ryan! Your heated shack turned out awesome! Even if you aren’t excited about sleeping in it I am looking forward to hearing about you Surviving Ringworm’s in a heated shack !!!

Thanks again Ryan!
Me think - better than a tent all year around.
Hello 👋, I saw 👀 chain link fence wood frame above to hang and store stuff to dry or hang dry. Good day
Wish we had the cedars around here like that, mostly oak and red cedar but the red cedars are usually pretty small. Goal this year is to start on a small cabin.
Would love to see a video on how you sharpen your various knives!
Ryan, use the totes you have everywhere for storage to hold up shelves, desktops and fold down beds while you assemble them! Use what you have to make it easier on yourself since you're the only one there. Have to protect the property owner!
Love the videos and your take on life.
