    I had snow issues east of the eastern Mississippi River watershed extent.
    Came out of a cave and found a blizzard with white-out conditions that
    made vehicle travel too hazardous. I retreated to my underground camp
    happy to escape the freezing weather. The cave air was in the mid-50's,
    Never got hungry enough to go swallow a Troglodyte.

    It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

    I thought I was invincible once upon a time. I still lift heavy objects because my back can take it. But advice from my 82 year old neighbor....do what ever you can to make it easier on your body. He smoked, welded, very physical. But he is always happy. Happy is the key to longevity. Be happy.

    I've been a stone mason my whole life, still working full time and I'll be 61 in a couple months. Its good for you to work hard and live simple.
    I'm not sure how to say this without sounding critical but you need some nice looking stone underneath and behind your wood stove!
    I know a guy if you decide you want some stone 😉

      Blizzard isn't defined by snow amount it's a definition of visibility mainly less than a quarter mile visibility for 3 hours or more and winds excess of 35mph... In the right conditions a dry 2 inches of snow can lead to blizzard conditions.... The killer traditionally of blizzards was getting lost then freezing to death in the old days farmers would tie a rope from the house to the barn and privy because people died by getting lost walking 50 to 100 feet...

    Love your videos, as they are examples of how it's done. I like how you show when you need wood, you go and look for a tree that has fallen & already has dry wood. The dry, already seasoned by nature, wood burns better. If green wood is used it will cause build up in the chimney, which will start a fire in the chimney & could burn down the cabin if you don't catch it. And we wouldn't want that to happen the coldest night where one could get frost bitten. Hope your chickens & ducks are ok. I liked the one time when you brought your chickens inside from the cold. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you, Ceirra & Skeeter. Take care.

    Kyle, not sure if anyone mentioned it but you could get yourself a collapsible roof rake. You could easily remove the snow from the roof, which will allow those icicles to be eliminated in no time. Also, you could use the snow that has fallen from the roof to buffer around the cabin.

    Found your channel about a week ago and now I’m binge watching haha. I want to build a cabin like this so bad!

    Kyle, I'm stoked the cabin held up well in that cold snap... thick snow around the crawl space and snow on the roof looked to definitely help. Merry Xmas to you and yours!

    Hey Kyle! Good to see y'all. Good video. It is beautiful out in the countryside isn't it? I love the snow, but stay out of it as much as possible. I can't move in it very much because of bad legs, which requires me to use a cane, sometimes even a walker, or wheelchair, plus I have arthritis in those legs! But I do love watching it snow just the same! Stay safe! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you too!!

    Merry Christmas Kyle and Sierra! I was just wondering if you could build a mini-A-frame or lean-to with a hinged front to cover your solar panels. Then when you shovel all the snow away and flip the front cover back over the top, your panels would be free of snow and ready to receive that precious sunlight! God Bless and Happy New Years!

    Merry Christmas Kyle and Cierra! A question, why don't you put a tarp of some kind over the solar cell panel to keep it clean in snowy weather, then you can just remove the tarp to charge?
