Part 1: • Building WOOD FIRED HO...
My buddy Dennis puts together a custom designed stainless steel hot tub from scratch for the off grid cabin in the woods.
We use mostly stainless steal, a lot of welding, and plenty of ingenuity to build a custom made hot tub for the off grid property.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle. - บันเทิง

No acid. Earthy. Real bold and strong.

The actual term is: "Don't LOOK a gift horse in the mouth."
This refers to the fact that you can tell a horse's approximate age by the condition of their teeth; the more warn the teeth, the older the horse. This is a major consideration when BUYING a horse, since the price should reflect the number of serviceable years they have left. Thus a 2 year old horse would be worth considerably more than a 20 year old horse.
The whole POINT to the saying is that; while it's EXPECTED to check the mouth of a horse you're PAYING for, it'd be rude and ungrateful to do so when you are being gifted the horse.
Get this dude some Nikes 'cuz he just does it!
body temp is 36C... somewhere around there, either drain it or balance the ph then chlorinate or you will grow bad bacteria in the water
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I read the entire Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.
That’s what I’m talking about!!!!!! Now it’s time for a hot tub and sauna PARTY in the forest!!!!!! Nice work!!!!
Welp if we can't Find The Wooded Beardsman in a few months we'll know That Kevin Cooked Him 🤔 🤣🤘🏽💀🤘🏽
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@freethinker750 Chris should let us know if he gets the Hot end of The Tub or Not 😂 we'll know Kevin is trying to set him up lol jk it was a funny thought though
You know Chris will end up cooking some giant skunk soup or something in that big hot pot sooner or later.
Best comment, hands down. 😂🤣😂
Make a cedar lid to go over the water. It will help retain heat and let the tub heat up faster.
Good suggestion!
Foam would be a lot better as far as heat. But definitely less sustainable than than the cedar.
i remember my Nana telling me that the phrase never look a gift horse in the mouth was a saying to remind people not to be rude or ungrateful. horse people look at a horses teeth when buying them, so if someone was to give you a horse (gift horse) then you woul insult the giver if you looked at the teeth to see the " quality" of the horse. im unsure if thats a true explaination, but thats how Ive been taught 🤷♀🤷♂🤷😄
Dennis is so interesting to watch!! He's cool!!

“Boiled Canadian” … 😅😂🤣
1) add four tablespoons of Maple Sugar to hot tub , raise water temp to 102 F
2) add previously washed Canadian
3) simmer for 30 minutes
4) remove Canadian and roll in snow for 5 minutes
6) repeat 4 & 5 above 6 times
7) removed Canadian , pat dry and serve with Maple Syrup and pancakes
Enjoy !
🙏☘️😘
Reminded me of the old bugs bunny cartoon, were the natives had him cooking in the big kettle. Looked like fun in there Kevin. Were was Don for the plunge in the Hot tube. Thanks for sharing. Iowa enjoys your projects.
That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for the project. Maybe build a small changing closet attached at the wood burning end, enclosing the burner? So you end up with an 'L' shape.
That would provide a space to keep the wood dry if it was raining, keep the change closet warmed up, and direct the smoke higher if you added a taller chimney to exit the change closet roof?
Maybe move the tub over by the sauna, too?
Nah. He’s a Canadian. He can tough it out. 😄. Besides, it’s fun watching him run like a girl!
Maybe a wood platform to step out onto. Great project!
Perhaps he could use tractor to excavate a trench, lowering the tub in ground and adding a cedar bench & deck for egress and exiting.
@@catgynt9148 The ground would act as a giant heat sink, unless you really insulated the tub from from it. Air is a much more poor conductor of heat meanwhile.
You should keep the fire on after you get out, boil that bathwater down. Pretty sure after you stewed in it the end product would be maple syrup :P
Dennis’s voice is awesome. Reminds me of a Canadian Bob Ross. He needs to be featured more or have his own channel.
Hahaha!! "Boiled Canadian!" Awesome!! 👍
Loved Dennis’s expertise. Hope to see him again on your channel.
Thank you for consistently putting out insanely good content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Your angle for the seatback seems to be about 10 degrees, which should be a good angle for most people to keep you comfortable
Love this project! Your buddy's welding helmet is fantastic 👌🏻
It's a thing of beauty!
Nice work. You need to install the tub closer to a place that is warm and dry so when you get in and out you won't freeze. When you get out, you will freeze before getting clothed again. I have mine right at my back door. Consider paddling the water to mix it before getting in and that would help with the hot spots.
Love it! Suggestion: drill some 2” or so holes through the seat back on the stove side to allow the hot water to transfer a little more easily.
I think that is in the plans for HotTub 2.0
@@ModernSelfReliance is there anyway i can grab the plans for 2.0 i wanna make one myself
Next time, add a few carrots and onions and soup for supper is done!
Neat project. The hillbillys in Kentucky have been making similar units for quite some time now. So how do you empty the ash from the stove? Would have been nice to have built one end of the stove adjacent to the outer wall of the tub ,welded it in and you could have installed a stove door with air control vents. Need a solar powered circulation pump to even out the tub temps. A bubbler would be nice too.
Burritos the night before will substitute needing a bubbler...
I was wondering about ash cleanout too.
@@Phorvuld observations of Kevin’s projects, he will probably repurpose an old suck broom into an ash remover... or a repurposed poop-scoop will be fitted.
Thank you for the amazing content. Look forward to seeing your videos every week.
Glad you like them!
So that is how you make Canadian bacon 🤭😋
Boiled Conaidian 🤣 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
loved it, great laugh too. How is Chris, not seen him talking on many vids lately. Hope he is ok.
We should all share this on Facebook
Every little bit helps.. Thank you!
I love this channel it's awesome
OMG, your friend and welding expert is seriously amazing. Thank you both for sharing interesting information that most of us wouldn't know about. Highlighting unique trades is very cool too. Loved this segment.
Your friends gonna have a 1,000 orders for them! Love it. (Kansas)
Kevin and Dennis,
Awesome video! Super cool to learn a little more about welding. Very cool. How big again is the hot tub? It’s hard to tell on camera how big it actually is. Great project! Loved to listen and learn about the welding process. Super interesting. Can’t wait to see what’s next! Stay awesome!
Looks great, Kevin. Now you just have to build a little cedar deck around it to keep your feet clean and maybe a bench and towel rack or somewhere to hang your clothes. You and your buddy did a good job explaining welding, too. I've always been curious but never quite understood it. Thanks.
In the old days of horse auctions, inspecting the horse's mouth would reveal telltale signs of the animal's good or poor health. Pre-auction inspection was common, so people could know what they were bidding on. The expression "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" means that if you are given a free horse (as a gift), don't be so petty as to go checking out how good or bad a specimen it is, especially in front of those who may have given it to you.
It's so cool to see someone that does something so extremely well. And Dennis wasn't bad either ;)
Canadian ingenuity at its best
Next winter....start in the sauna, cut a hole in the pond and POLAR PLUNGE, then jump into hot tub!
Gonna need a cover of some type. And also need to make a ceder step or cut down a pallet and side towel hanger
A circulation pump from the cold end to behind the firebox seems to be the next project. Increase the flow through the heat exchanger to speed up heating the whole tub and hopefully reduce the hot surface-cold bottom problem. John R below suggested a ceder lid, EXCELENT.
Hi from Syracuse NY USA brother and that's what friends do helping their friends
Looks good dude! Kevin: I'm not sure what's in this water. Water: Kevin. As another Canadian struggling with perpetual temperature (etc) conversion between systems, I suggest you remind yourself you already know that 98.6F = 37C.
This was a Wicked Build!
I love this project!!! I cant imagine how expensive was the stainless steel tube
Kevin!!!! I have the perfect name for your land. Imagination land. Where your imagination has lead to all of these crazy/cool ideas & places. This also shows why it’s important to help your neighbors & friends. You help them with something & in turn they can help you with something maybe they are more experienced in. I feel like younger generations don’t understand that. 😉. “Boiled Canadian” 🤣🤣🤣
That is very true.
Slippers and a terry cloth robe and a deck with chairs to cool off a bit, we keep ours at 104 in the winter 100 in the summer,
🌀💚🌀 That tub is AWESOME! 🌀💚🌀
This is so cool. There is a point where you scan round in the tub and behind you there is your pond, sauna, root cellar and log cabin. Awesome achievement.
Now you need to build a Greenhouse around that. Thermal heating is the best kind fir Greenhouses.
ice fishing and hot tubbing sound like a great time to help circulate the water your solar air pump for the fish pond would be useful and kind of turn it into a jet tub if you had nozzles in the floor
From Hypothermia Tub to Hot Tub. Nice.
If Dennis doesn't already, he should take up teaching metal shop! He explains i all so well, even I could understand it all 😄
He was teaching a the local community college... I'm not sure if he is still doing so.
@@ModernSelfReliance Natural Born Teacher
Great job!
If all else fails it will make a great casket that will keep u warm during those dark moments in time
Dennis seems like a super cool guy
looks like the main thing you need for you hot tub now is a system to generate a current which will help even out the temp of the water like a couple small fish tank pumps and could even have it set up to go through a simple screening filter too.
Love it! Really nice job Kevin. So glad you were able to enjoy it. Was fascinating to see the whole process of the build. Seems like all of that detailed work was worth it. Next time you relax in it, you should enjoy a drink. Thanks for sharing and God Bless 💕
THE WOODER AT THE Y IS SO WARM, I felt like I was watching Step Brothers .
Excellent lesson onTIG welding. I have the
ten minute farm welding degree and it’s allowed me to restore an antique vehicle and create other useful items. The info here makes me want to try TIG, excellent teacher super calm and cool .
Dennis is an excellent teacher.
That turned out so awesome 👌!! You have awesome friends also! ❤️ I bet it felt super cold getting out. So fun to watch your creations come together successfully. All the best. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. ❤️ 😁👍
I need a sawmill for my homestead
You could weld a pipe from the far end to behind the heater and install a minuscule water pump. This pump can be powered by a peltier element using the energy of the wood. This brings colder water to the heater, increasing the delta and increasing the heat transfer. The energy loss from the pump is almost zero..
The motivation and energy it takes to do all these projects. 😝
I must say as i said before you now have a Airbnb with everything. Different cottages and sauna hot tube and fishing hole.
Your suppose 2 ROLL on the snow till dry then hit the sauna more off.....greatest job yet...swimsuit 4 the crew🥶🐲
I love you humour! Canadian soup, Kevin soup ! Hilarious
Not to mention a real handyman. Keep it up
Lol Boiled Canadian 🤣 Your humor is awesome. Love it 🤣🤣🇨🇦
Aww , I thought a snow angle and another soak, to Finnish. Anyway 11/10, mega credits for your vision, and also
your idea and helper. A souper editorial.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Maybe you could build a deck with a seat to stand/sit on to put your boots and jacket on, then dash to the sauna. Nice work!
Kevin it is so tough building this tub!!! Hmmm 🤔 I applaud your afford. Wow 🥺, I do t have such patience, thank you very much. Always, you are determined to make one so you got it 💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️from Singapore 🇸🇬👈❤️
Thats awesume😜
And when you are ready
Roll over in the snow!!!
Such a cool video. Loved it 👍🏻
another banger!
I think you smashed it out of the park with the Hot tub and Double entendres. Congratulations Keven.
Amazing vlog ❤ 💖
Hey buddy. This build was very fun to do. I’ve got a few ideas floating around on the hamster wheel
Nice lets do em! Get those ideas rolling..
One of my most enjoyable and entertaining subscriptions on TH-cam! I smile and laugh almost throughout the video! So refreshing!
smoke stove
you should add an air inlet at the bottom of the chimney tube
If I had that hot tub in my backyard, I would never get out of it. Summers are brutal in Adelaide, SA so there probably wouldn't be any need to use the fire box between Dec and Mar as the ambient air temps (even overnight) should keep the water in that size tub at a constant temp of around 41C (106F) without a problem. :)
*Modern Self Reliance* You put all that time & effort into building that tub ... then you put *Pond Water* in, you are a Hillbilly = Respect, lolooo. Thank-you sir for always taking the time to bring us along. God Bless.
Awesome job on the hot tub! Not only does it look awesome, but it's well made as well. Another job well done!! 👏 Love what you're doing ❤️
"Boiled Canadian" "Kevin Soup"! 🤗👍😋🥳
You need to add a jacuzzi pump to it to circulate the water for even heat and bubbles, eh!
Maybe think about relocating closer to the sauna? Love this project.
Stir before putting the noodle into the hot water. :-D
U Da Man there Kev.. Awesome build of the Hot Tub..
Just starting to watch now but can't wait to see how it goes. I might do something similar at my offgrid cabin as well. Keep up the awesome work! Cheers
Every video you put out is beyond good and always entertaining. Thanks for the great content! Appreciate it!
Kevin.....after the hot tub....you gotta go roll in the snow..........
It's all ice at this point.
Wow ! what a return on your efforts. That is awesome , watch you build a lot of things but this one takes the cake. Moon lit night candles and the wife maybe a beer things can happen. Great build loved every min of it; stay safe up there, until the next build
This is a great video! Thank you.
So happy this is 50 minutes
A polystyrene lid would be good to keep the heat In and it will heat up faster
Coventry Wildeheart's sudgestion for a changing room for both hot tub and pond swimming is a good one. 2 season use.
I'm surprised that a Leafs fan can complete a goal! Go Habs Go!
Bahah
nice camera angle with the gopro on the wood as it goes through the mill and as always dennis and his soothing voice is a fav of mine
Really cool project!
45:30 Reminds me of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, just add Carrots and Potatoes.
Wow great tig primer, thanks
Very hot build for your hot tub. Love this.
Brilliant. Love all your creations. ✨👍🏻✨
Its nice to role in the snow and go back in the tub. Try it👌😒 you did a great job🌲👍🌲
Canadians! Gotta love them. I always totally lose it when you start your fires with a butane torch. Most of us use a match. 😄. Love this, Kev. Nice work
