Loving the videos and your dream. A piece of advice from someone who heated their house solely with a wood burning stove: be selective about what wood you harvest. You want dry, but solid wood. If it’s punky/soft on the inside, it doesn’t burn well. It mostly just smokes and you’re not getting much advantage in burning it. Also, it creates an inordinate amount of smoke which will dirty up your chimney and risk chimney fires in the future.
The things you've gotten done are immensely important.The fact that your hauling stuff with no ATV,tractor ,that the road to your van is impassible and you are carrying your building supplies thru the woods is Herculean!! The fact that you and Dobby have stuck it out through the million mouse insulation and subsequent times rates the character you have and the determination you possess .Wishing you every success,warm and joy to you both!
I feel you are a very special person to stick with all of the massy upgrades. I remember the upgrades my husband and I did on this old village house built in 1910 we own. We had mold, mice, rats, bugs, rotten wood, coal, and train dust for three years. Now 45 years later we are comfortable sitting in the living room watching TV. Someday you will be doing the same. You will have pride in your apple orchard, cidery, and water power farm. Keep the faith and when you look back your head will spin with pride.
Who needs a gym when you have a homestead/rural property eh! Dobby says i was having such a good nap
Nice to see all the progress you've made Tyler! Being a bit of a beast doing chores has big rewards. No gym membership needed!
Good to see you back.
I bet that when you look out over your property you are saying, this is beautiful and it is mine. I bet that is a awesome feeling. God Bless.
What a beautiful spot. Love your videos mate. From a bloke down in Australia :)
I went to a burger spot in Australia called Jimmys Burgers in Cairns (yes I pronounced it “Cans” the entire time I was there but I still think about the burgers and cafe’s in Australia. Beautiful place! 🙏
Cheers mate! Anytime you come back drop in for a beer :)@@tyleranddobby
Everyone has said what I feel. WOW, look at you go. You have accomplished so much. We are all so proud of you..!
Good Morning, kicking butt as usual looking good
Tyler, I've just came across your channel today.
I'm a life long Photographer, and I'm very impressed with your Photographic skills. The images that you capture and your awareness of lighting are very impressing. Please keep doing what you're doing.

Natures Gym! Hard work! So well filmed & edited. I really look forward to your uploads.
I love how at the very beginning, you subconsciously turned around and lifted the tape for your hound 😊
There you are! Was wondering when the next vid would come. Clearly you have been hard at work! Wonderful job Tyler!
You sound so much more positive and strong, well done
Seems like forever since we heard from you, looks like you've been really busy. It's amazing how different it looks from that first video. You're doing a great job. Keep it up.
Woo hoo! You're chuckin' wood like a wood chuck! 😊
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?
🙋🏼
I always smile when I see you have uploaded a video. This kind of life is not easy but the rewards are more than worth it. You have made so much progress. I am amazed.
Beast mode with the firewood.
Thank you for the new video, been looking every day for a new one and you did not disappoint. You have a great since of filming so that you make it feel we are walking along with you every step of the way. MORE please.
It's coming along leaps and bounds Tyler.
Good job, a lot of work ahead of you, but the place is fantastic. Post more videos, the channel will grow quickly, people like it👍👍👍
Great to see another video from you Tyler, i look forward to them,, Tyler , you have developed a great fan base and a long distance family here on you tube,, love all the support and comments you get here, I bet there are so many of us here that would help you in an instance but you are so far away from most of us , please make an investment in a ATV or a small tractor to make your life a little easier and develop a way to get your van up to the cabin. best wishes young man
Wow great development here. Super!
Good morning! I've been waiting for a new video. I love watching what is going on at the cabin
Hoping you’re having a great day Tammi 🙏❤️
Very enjoyable video. 👍🇦🇺
Dobby, is so well taken care of with his fashionable but warm attire
What a beautiful view you have. Slow and steady, its coming together. Dexter Morgan look. That was funny. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe out there. 🙏🙏
Well done Tyler, it’s all coming together, so remember, lots of little bits soon make a lot. And you have done a lot. I can hear your pride in what you’ve done as it should be. You take care,hugs for Dobby. Till next time . 🌸
Hi Tyler and Dobby, so much getting done, 😊😊. 1 man and his dog on a mission 🎉😊
Tyler, please don't give anyone permission to hunt on your land. It's beautiful watching the deers naturally. You have too many apples they are helping you sort the problem.
That view never gets old. it's breathtaking ❤
Love seeing Dobby❤( I lost my Frenchie last year)
Keep at it Tyler. The place is really beginning to take shape and all due to your hard work.
You should just build water bars on those roads. All you’ll need is a shovel.
Your really cracking on... Can really see improvement well done you.. Such a beautiful place... Dobby adorable as always.. Cannot wait to see the progress 🙏
Watching your videos makes me long to be a young man again. Looking forward to watching your journey. Greetings from Florida.
Thanks for watching!
Great comment,, alot of us long to be a young man again like Tyler, greetings from Florida as well
You are doing fine
Well you have plenty of firewood nice to get it right off your own land great idea revamping the outhouse. I don't judge you on the anything messy your fixing up your cabin and your land and those are some big deers but keep thinking there dinner lol i grew up in a hunting family anyways see you on the next one 🙂💐
Enjoying your video’s. Thank you!!!
The trail camera video is great! Nice to see what is roaming around your property after dark…..
🦌🦌🦌
On another note, you may want to think about taking advantage of winter to bring in additional building supplies with the help of a sledge and a snowmobile. I have no idea what the trail terrain looks like for an adventure like that, but it’s way easier to haul on snow than rough ground.
You work so hard Tyler, well done! I’m in Aus & dear little Dobby reminds me of a Koala! Cute & cuddly…☺️
Great video…Again… Nice deer…They love my apples trees also
Tyler, you’ve done a great job . Work in progress..
So good to see you again Tyler and Dobby 🫂🌹🫂
Good to see you! 🫶
Amazing view for sure!!
The property is soooooo beautifull
You should get a little 4X4 to get you from your cabin to your van and back... or do you have plans to get your van up there? It would make your life much easier..
-South Africa
Thx for the video….love the place. The eyes are the window to the soul……sorry that we do not have the chance to actually see you…..you should not be afraid to show yourself. Loving what you are doing….fantastic….Rob
When i meet my late husband he lived off grid. We r talking about back in the 60's. We bought a school bus completely gutted it and lived in it. Being out in nature and living the minimalist life is the way to go. Grow your own food. And dont pay any large amount of money to big companies.
Love this! And would love to see this converted bus/off grid space, sounds amazing! ❤️🙏
Looks phenomenal, so happy for you, you should be very proud of yourself
The cabin and property looks amazing. You are doing a great job. Hard working man
Its great seeing your videos again. Cutting the fire wood is good considering its getting colder. You are doing some progress in the cabin. The insolation looks great. The outhouse is looking good. Until your next video take care and be safe.(Judy NB)🇨🇦🌲
Like you I live in the woods, just in Oregon.
Good job insulating your walls! I enjoy watching trail camera footage. Every video you make, your property looks a little bit better each time. Thank you for sharing, stay safe, and stay warm.
The walk back to your cabin is beautiful.
Great to see all the progress! You've been working hard. Really enjoy watching your videos. You're an inspiration.
Thank you ! Tyler and Dobby for the Birthday wish!
You can put a chair up on your roof that straddles the ridge and kick back up there and see beauty for miles and miles.
Glad to see you back ! Had withdrawals last week , no video 😂, you have been a busy bee with the progress, looks fabulous! Such a beautiful property in a awesome location 🤗
Great episode! Love what you're doing with the channel
It would be awesome if you could maybe build a look out tower, that attached to the cabin. Something just a little taller than the cabin itself, so you don’t have to walk the roof. But you can definitely still see the views on a daily basis.
you are certainly strong and such a hard worker it's amazing the difference already! Hey, Dobbie no grunt today? wee cutie pie is saying "Hey Dad, when are we getting some heating in here? "😂
Hey Tyler and Dobby! My wife and I really missed your post last week! Great to have you back! Nice to see all that new insulation and vapour barrier. Doesn’t it make you feel good. Like a few other folks said you’ll want to vent those soffits as air flow for the underside of the roof is important! I would put the attic access inside maybe where you have to do a little repair work anyway! Accomplish 2 things in one. Have a good week! T!
I would second your comments. Vent the soffits and put the access on the inside. As you finish the walls look towards insulating the ceiling and the floor.
The attic access inside could have a fixed ladder in place built against the storage area wall so you don’t have to carry a ladder in from your van.
Lookin' better already inside.
This is the PERFECT way to spend a few moments after a stressful shift! Thank you 🙏 👌👍
Cabin is looking much better; cutting fire wood is hard work!
Love Love watching😊

Looking great! As you stated, a day at a time!!! Don’t work Dobby too hard.
The cabins looks good your doing a fine job with it. The overhang area on the outside of your cabin is called the Soffit, if you don't have vents installed then you don't want to seal it off completely this allows ventilation of your cabin to the outside. You also will not be able to make a access to the attic from the soffit end as you would only have about a few inches to crawl through. Your best for access to the attic space which really doesn't look like much of a attic, is from the inside per your pictures, I would just cut through the ceiling, but it appears the ceiling is attached to the roof joints so really you won't have a real attic per say. I saw you cutting a lot of pine for firewood I would recommend the hard woods as they burn longer and cleaner. Pines tend to create creosote which which builds up in your chimney pipes and can cause a chimney fire so you will need to clean your chimney out much more with burning pine. Good luck and look forward to your next video.
Great advice! All true things to take into account and write down 👍
Indeed, it isn't much of a attic, I myself would want to make an attic and isolate the roof.. and yes, make sure that you have airflow at the tip of the soffit, screen it off with something metal with a fine mesh.
Tyler, maybe a good recommendation is to watch the ytber ' @the outsider ' . In one of his later videos, he shows his way to give an airway high up, you can do something like that at those 2 ends of your cabin?
Just to give you an idea 🙂
you need to build a fire wood shed
Tyler, your voice has much enthusiasm! Your cabin in the woods, is excellent therapy!!😊 All you have done! Wow!
What about a access door in your storage room? Dobby looks completely comfortable!😊 Keep yourself safe! Thanks for the video!
Wow nice progress been waiting patiently for your vid
So…what are your plans for when the snow comes? Are you still going to be able to access the cabin? Do you have any plans for staying there a while? I crack up every time you light the wood stove and have all the doors open…I can hear myself yelling at my kids “shut the door! We are not heating the whole town!” Stay safe! 🤗
I've been wondering how you've been doing! It's been a few weeks. As always, you have lots to do.
Have you considered making a mouse trap with a bucket with water and a soda can? Lots of easy to follow tutorials online. My grandfather fought them constantly on his farm. So he started making the buckets. Put a few inches of water. Put some grain that floats on top of the water. They will jump down and will drown. Or put water in the bucket. Put a piece of wire across the opening. Have it run through a soda can. Put a little smear of peanut butter on the can. Theyll jump to it. Can spins. Deposits mice in water. Or make one with a tipping stick. We have caught as many as 30 in one night out in the chicken house with these
Looking good brother, I also love cutting and splitting wood, I kind of miss it. You got all the deer I believe because they just love Apple's, good work on the cabin
You should try to find a used atv and a small trailer , sure would make it easier to get to and around your property, not to mention getting more work done!
Have you seen any bears? Do they have snakes there? You have accomplished a lot. Good job!
Love your channel and especially how hard you work!!
You need to invest in a hand cart. Great for hauling wood and supplies
You definitely got a long road ahead of you but very good job of what keep up the good work God bless u
Have you looked into having a dozer come in and work on the road? Some machinery would make a big difference pretty quick.
I like the window in the outhouse. Any ideas where is from? It reminds me of an old tv screen ❤❤
Good to see your progress!
Thank you for sharing your endeavors
🙋🏼
I really dig that view you showed from the access road down into the creek. That is beautiful! It will be cool to see all the water during snow melt
Tyler and little Miss Dobby,
It’s very late here. But, I knew y’all would end my day with a huge smile. And, y’all did! The trees!! WOW so beautiful! Looks like you and little Miss Dobby are doing an excellent job! She is the best supervisor ever! I love that your able to see around your cabin. Your property is so beautiful. The old trees will come in handy, maybe next winter you can spend more time there. You have plenty of time to do it just right for you!! Take care 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦 Crista
Really looking good tyler great job! Hey dobby
Great video Tyler your place-what a transformation,it looks amazing,you have brought out the beauty of the property..stay safe and hi Dobbie 🙂
Wow you have accomplished so much! Hi Dobby! Have a wonderful time till we see you again!
👍👍👍👍👍👌Your property looks so much better !!!
Not sure if you’ve covered this yet but what are your plans for the winter? Will you stay? Go back to the van life? Great video and progress on the property.
Awesome job on the clean up. You’ve done so much work. Definitely a great feeling of accomplishment at the end of each day I bet. Thank you for sharing. Love Dobby.
Great idea to use the outhouse as a chicken coop in the future. Those deer are so fat! They love your apple trees.
Thanks!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
impressive ax swing!
Don't "seal" the eves Tyler, you need air flow from the eves to the vents at the peak of your roof. You can close it in with screen, but I don't advise completely sealing it. Great job!
Tyler I'm so proud of you and for you.. you are doing a great job on that place. It's heaven on earth to me.. much love from Oklahoma ❤
Hey Tyler,
I’m sure you’re doing much more that what you captured in your video. Bless you, keep up the good work.
I bet your back and arms are aching! Amazing how you keep going like that. That interior is looking fabulous! Stay warm dude
Love your channel mate, kept up the great work!🇦🇺
Tyler, you are making amazing progress, well done. It's such a beautiful property. We are heading into a hot summer here in Australia. I will enjoy watching your winter. Stay warm. All that wood you chopped, I was exhausted just watching.
