im coming from an area where in former times lot of buildings were clay-based. If the clay-builders use unprocessed clay (like you did) and water the clay, they let the clay rest at least for three days. the longer the better. doings thus the water gets uniformly sucked up into the clay leading to a homogenous mixture with no pats. using that homogenous mixture will cause less cracks in the finished pflasterwork. just in cause that problems occure later on.
It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.
Kevin, loving being in the woods, "Where would you rather be, Don?" Don, sweating, making the gambion, "Holding the camera while YOU do the work, Kevin!!"
"I think it's not gonna light itself on fire...... If it does...... I'll film it" Ever since his brother filmed the cabin build and he was around I kept thinking, why doesn't this guy have a channel? Love his humour!
I've been wanting to do this for a good while!! You and Bearded Woodsman pushed me over the edge to go off grid roughly a year ago! I watched yall build the cabin and everyone saying you're doing it all wrong... then yall proved them wrong!!! Thanks for all the inspiration!
@@ModernSelfReliance its starting to do pretty well, almost at that 100k mark! Hopefully one day we can meet up and you can teach me a thing or 2 haha keep kicking butt man!
I got tired of eating bugs with Chris so I gave your channel a try and now I'm hooked. Kevin you have talent as a builder and inventor of god knows what. Your humor is spot on, 2 thumbs up.
Love how you find ways of repurposed materials that others would trash and marking into something beautiful and functions well. People may complain about minor details, but if it works well is the main key.
I'm so glad you started your own channel. I remember watching the cabin build on Chris's channel and your additions made it so much more enjoyable. You're sense of humor and take on building is what so many channels are missing. It's no-nonsense nonsense if that makes sense. Lol, it's great. Can't wait for the next build.
I just started watching your videos today. I think they are long BUT they are informative and educational, the best part, you have a great sense of humor which made me watch 3 videos in one day!! Thank you for sharing, and yes, I am subscribing because you are trying to encourage people become self reliant!
Kev...,you did it !!! That came out incredible.....on your firebox door make some adjustable vents like on a woodstove to help with air.....but ya dude that will help cure meats and fish! I have upper adjustable vents on the box like where your cuppa....whatever thing is.....Impressive project👍
Very cool, Hog Rings, and hog ring pliers, work well for building the baskets. made many of them. work well. Great smoker love it - its all natural love that. excellent.
Any cabin will do or even barrel for smoking(with lidd), must important is long 2yards ground tunnel joining smoke House made from bricks or rocks. Apple wood and forest juniper bushes is best for nice smoke.
Full Stop 🛑. Cherry is my favorite. It’s all about airflow.Nice video good work. You might wanna work on that bottom airflow chamber. Thank you for the video
Great vid! The key to a successful smoker is to build the worse fire! I love that! So far, everything is about utility. Are you planning on building something for leisure or relaxation? An outdoor wooden tub/hot tub? You said something about a yoga/tree stand. How about a zip line to send supplies back and forth from the road? Keep those projects coming along! full stop
Wow! You make it look so easy!!! You just go around picking up mud, logs, rocks, bricks and wire, and "presto", you have a Smoker House!!! Very awesome 👌! I love your wacky humor 😀, but you really are talented in building just about anything you want! So fun to watch you go and create something awesome out of the ordinary! Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. Great quote, "If it burns down, I will film it"!!!!!!! 😆 🤣
Good male role model ? :D What ? :D You mean arrogant brat who lets his 20 years older friend literally build the damn thing ? And then he declares it "his" work and collects the TH-cam money for the vids ? I hope he is at least paying his friend a decent hourly rate or a like a 50% of channels ad revenue. It's just crazy how this dude is just holding the camera and he describes you for a milionth time what is the thing "he" is building and just lets his friend do all the heavy work.
Being one of those pesky subscribers who mentioned your not looking at the lens, I noticed your new-found ability to look at us & not like the Mona Lisa does. Another great video!!

hi Kevin, once again you amazed me, making something, from nothing!!! that turned out AWESOME!! loved the mud on your face, was a great touch, ya had me laughing thru the whole video......again, it was much needed!!! whats next? a garage for the tractor? or should i say a barn?, what ever it is I cant wait, you are doing a FANTASTIC job with the videos, and content!! be safe my Friend, thank you, bill
We should get you on "The Comedy Store"! Start getting your material together! Love your humor.......and you really are creative with your building of many things. Smoked Bread Sandwich.....Yummmmm
I can't wait to make one myself! I love this design, I will probably copy it... I don't have a massif forest around me, but I do have a Menards. I'm thinking about making the siding and the roof out of some cedar fence boards.
Your pizza oven is Awesome. An idea is to find round or circular screen rings or even square. Most pizza makers have these to put the pizza or other things used to put pizza on while baking makes it easier to remove and keeps it the food off the ash or dirt. Also if you can find or build a stainless steel flat spatula with wooden pole attached to remove your baked items. Enjoy
@@cmosphoto1 - You're welcome. You piqued my husband's interest just by me playing this video. When I finished he asked, "What kind of smoker does he have?" I showed him what you had built. He was impressed. 😉
I do love fishing. But not sure why, most of Chris videos about fishing don't really do it for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to watch them, but... For my own viewing taste, I like watching within a wilderness survival challenge. I really enjoyed Fowler's and Oven's 30 days wilderness challenge in the rockies...and there was a whole lot of fishing in that. I mention that cause I heard Chris is going up in the fall. Can't wait to see that!
If you get an old mop that has natural fiber, you can get it damp (do not use cold water), and mop out the over after you scrape all the coals to the side. That will get rid of the ash, and add some humidity to the oven. It prevents scorching too. The bottom of the oven will dry almost instantly.

Why not put a hole in the door or the wall to put the thermometer through? Then you can just see the temp from the outside without opening the door

This is like My Self Reliance, only not boring and you actually get to see a full build. Great stuff
Thanks S N!
This guy is so funny. keep it up. finally someone who understands my humor, normally no one laughs.
I agree. I laughed from the get go..."or we'll burn it down."
"I think it's not gonna light itself on fire...... If it does...... I'll film it" Ever since his brother filmed the cabin build and he was around I kept thinking, why doesn't this guy have a channel? Love his humour!
That's a banker's joke - only the teller laughs.
JustaDumbFarmer Agree, nearly smutty but not quite. Love this boy.
Yes, he is annoying...
That mud did wonders for your pores!!!! lookin good
LOVE WATCHING YOU AND YOUR BROTHER....YOU GUYS ARE AWSOME! ❤

This is my favorite goofy, knows what he's doing channel, he almost inspires me to get off the sofa.
Thanks Jen!
Nooooooo, stay on the sofa!

Thanks Papa Joe!
Nice smoker! Keep it up, the channel will do great.
Thanks Andy!
Awesome, I want to do the same. I use charcoal to smoke. And wood chips for flavour.
Thanks for watching Josepi!
You had me at how to facial exfoliate with mud, and make a smoke house. Liked and subscribed.
😀 Thanks for watching!
Love how you find ways of repurposed materials that others would trash and marking into something beautiful and functions well. People may complain about minor details, but if it works well is the main key.

Thanks for joining!
I love this channel..Kevin is such a good and clever builder and such a great sense of humour..
Yeah Kevin is reaching like Adam Sandler's level of humor and acting qualities. Not cringe at all. I would give it 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Awesome build!! Could you think about a little orchard of apples and cherries? That would secure more food and more smoking wood
There are a significant amount of apple trees on the property already.
This channel is much the same as Gridlessness same kinda sarcasm and just plain FUN ! Take care thanks for Sharing.
Thanks Murray!

aww, so nice to see all of you together especially chris and jeremy, nice video, keep it up.
I love how Canadian you are.

How abooot that!
Right. Picked that up the moment I found this channel. And I lived in Canada in the early 80s. You'd think I'd forget. Lol. Oh how I miss Canada 🍁
Quickly became our favorite TH-cam channel! Glad you kicked off your own venture. Keep the content coming, please!
Thanks for watching!
Clean, clear, smoke is best for smoking. That white bellowing smoke will make your food bitter.
Well done on the build. Fun channel.
I've been told that many times. It must be true.... Thanks!
Thank you for making your own channel! Can’t wait for more videos.
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos friends how they remodel houses from the beginning and build
You’re consistently producing interesting and thoroughly entertaining videos. Bravo
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your comment.
Kaylakotton Hear hear!
Fantastic looking smoker boys and the fish looked the bollocks.. Nice one.
Thanks
Take good care of Don! Keep him well fed. He is invaluable for the smooth running of the channel. BTW, the smokehouse looks fantastic!
Don is a good friend!
Love watching this guy. He is hilarious.
I love seeing the live edge of wood on all buildings
Thanks Nicole!
Another great build for the cabin. I'm sure Chris will use it alot. Full stop!
Thanks James!
It's getting fancy out there at the cabin.
Sure is! Thanks for watching!

Outstanding! Your building some great items.
Thanks Greg!
This guy is a nerd doing outdoorsy stuff. It’s awesome! Subscribed!
I'll take that as a compliment! Thanks!
I have never seen such a elaborate smoker nice job. The salmon is huge and it sure looks delish
Thanks Jo!
Nice video! I enjoy your content
Every video is so well done. New fav channel.
That's a handy trick with the sawmill Kevin. Would work great for the short stuff. Keep up the good work
Especially if you get some choice firewood logs... that are a little too short.
@@ModernSelfReliance lol
I really like what you do! So keep on the good work!!!
Dude best new channel in my opinion, Was awesome to see you with Kris and Jeremy. Like I said last time just keep doing you, best of luck to ya.
Thanks Craig!

Gonna try to find one of those screens.
Love the build! Everything you have done at the cabin has been amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Love the smoke house now I wanna build myself one
I encourage you!
You could make this into a sauna. How about using the clay to make pots, all you need is a kiln? 🌹
I'm more of a hot tub kinda guy...
Nice smokehouse for sure 👍
Looking forward to the "swearing with Kevin " series
Potential new series...

Still plugging away at the list...
Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see more of the smoker!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Don't tell Chris, but until he starts hunting again or doing wilderness challenges, your videos are way better!

Your a natural in front of the camera. Keep up the great content.
nice smokehouse
Thats awesome... the best looking smoked salmon i have seen !!!
It did look delicious!

Probably a winter build.
I hear its good for the complexion!!

That's my goal! Thanks for watching!
I love your videos, I've watched your brother for years.
Thanks for watching Gary!
It may take a day or so because of my job but I'm a fan! Keep it up I love it!
If you get an old mop that has natural fiber, you can get it damp (do not use cold water), and mop out the over after you scrape all the coals to the side. That will get rid of the ash, and add some humidity to the oven. It prevents scorching too. The bottom of the oven will dry almost instantly.
That's great idea!
