We use a Norwood hd36 portable sawmill to make nearly all the materials for this build from locally sourced timbers.
AX1 - Compact Wood Hatchet for All Tasks and Purposes // U.S Amazon: bit.ly/44wVNsV, Worldwide delivery: bit.ly/44zeGuG
We use ash, cedar, and pine for most of the structure and siding.
We'll use cedar, pine, ash, maple, and whatever else we can scrounge up from the 30 acres around us. The aim is to avoid using as much store bought material as possible and keep the budget reasonably low.
Originally we set a budget of $1000, but that included the use of a frame from an old camper trailer. As we build, the budget will remain flexible in effort to produce a cabin that we are proud of and one that will last a long while, be comfortable, and sleep real human beings.

"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.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done! - บันเทิง
Congratulations on 10 years! I really like your wife. She seems very nice and funny. Need to put her in more of your videos! 🦋
same
I think so too...🤪💥
Yes, do put Rachel in more Vids❤
I was waiting for the onlyfans plug at the end..... just kidding!
@@bitcoinpoker76 shut up that's ridiculously funny but it's not nice!! 🤪💥
The build for this cabin is actually how I found your channel/your brother's channel back in the day. It's cool to see just how well it's weathered since then. Still looks a cozy place to stay
Moi aussi.
Same here
Same!
Same! Was watching some off-grid building videos after a hard breakup back in 2019. And found about this and his brother's channel. Had a good time healing with Kevin and Chris.
Paracord net on the rail would finish that off nicely and be just that little bit safer.
OMG Rachel just gets better looking every time you show her / you are a blessed person !!
Happy anniversary!
My lovely wife and I will celebrate 30 years this coming October.
Brook trout stream! Best idea ever! Banks will help to stop accidental jumpers from staying out of the water too long! Love everything! Thank you for all the staggering hard work!
well I watched all your videos, now is the time to watch them all over again.!!
Your wife seems great. Happy 10 years!! That is a great accomplishment in todays world.
10 years of non-stop interaction with Kevin demonstrates that Rachel possesses incredible patience and humor.
🤣😂🤣
An Incredible thing to dwell upon.
Yes! on the addition! Happy anniversary!!! 🤗🤗
Two smart brothers, the conversations are always fun, entertaining and educational! Thanks for interaction!
Happy Anniversary Beautiful People 🎊💐🪷🪻🌻💮🌼🌺. Wishing y'all many more happy years with lots of precious memories. God Bless Y'all ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy Anniversary!
Missed Rachel! More of Rachel is needed!
I'm so happy to see a video at the cabin. Hopefully, we will get one at the cube soon.
How about the sphere instead?
Congratulations on 10 years team 👏 nice improvements Kev 👍
I say a big fat YES to the cabin addition. Happy anniversary.
Congratulations on 10 years 🎉 and God bless you and your wife...
Looks great in there!!!!.....a nice room addition would be great and if you get a nice couch that pulls into a bed it will be an additional place for someone to sleep as well...Thanks for sharing!
He builds, he cleans, he decorates, he’s good with animals AND he’s funny. Lucky woman.
You know what would be cool? That log that you gotta set in the end of the bed, knock it out and let it sit around the post that you got right there by the steps.
The addition is a good idea. Have fun with it.
Happy Anniversary guys 🎉🎈 that's so awesome
Looking forward to the river addition 👍🏻
Definitely add the room on the side. Put a full fire place in or a wood stove with a glass door to watch the fire. You've done great with place. Happy anniversary . 🎉
The addition to the cabin would be great, can't wait to watch you get started on it
Hi there! You could use rope ,up& down on the railing. Just wrap it up & down with fasteners on the floor
Happy anniversary! An addition is a good idea!
Yes, make it bigger so you can bring the family for a vacation and be commfy! Make it much larger. Always nice to get away for a few days.
Happy Anniversary, 10 years, congratulations.
The addition sounds great and I can’t wait to see the stream install.
Yes do you notice how Kevin clarified that the addition is a built, not a boy. Although their daughter may like a sibling.
Nice idea to build an addition on, it's good to have room for a card game, evening chat etc out of the bugs and weather. A sensible build...
An addition to the house would be awesome. I say go for it!
Just wondering if you have enough air circulating under the mattress so it doesn’t get moldy. Maybe make a very low latticed platform for underneath it.
Lol was thinking the same thing, my mattress in the kids room molded, before we got a chance to make bunk beds. 😢
I think the materials that the mattress is made of, prevents mold.
Well a frame of 2x2’s wood make a fine platform. Also give the mice their own place to sleep.
33 years happily married, 35 together. Happy Anniversary! Blessings!
Happy 10 year anniversary.
With a creek and another pond on the way it would be cool to have a floating path between the two with a viewing/ sitting area by a waterfall.
A cabin extension would be so good! Put Don to work on it now! And congratulations on 10 year anniversary to you and mrs, defo rare in todays world ❤
Secret to keeping the cooler cold longer. Do not use regular ice. I freeze water bottles. As they melt, you then use the water. And i dont buy small water bottles. I use flavoured sparkling water at home. When they are empty, i fill with tap water and freeze. The larger the bottle, the longer they last. 2 liter pop bottles would work great. Love your work. ❤
10 years congratulations and hope many more to follow
The cabin looks beautiful! Great job! 👍 Happy Anniversary, Kevin and Rachel🥂🍾🎊 Cheers to another 10 years, and more!!❤
That table is very lovely, ideal for supporting a cup of coffee and some edc.
That would be so awesome to see the addition!! You have to do it! I can’t wait!!
Love your wife, so accepting with your humour.
You both look so satisfied in being life partners. Congratulations on 10 and many more to come. Cover the front porch?
So wonderful! Bless you all! Puerto Rico USA
Happy 10year Anniversary and many more years of love and happiness. We celebrate our 29th on September 2 ❤ enjoy your time together ❤
Happy Anniversary!
❤❤
That is so awesome- will make a great weekend get away/hunting cabin for deer season!👍
With all the rocks on your property, you should build a waterfall going into the pond. That would be so cool plus I would help keep the water cool down.
Yes. I see the beauty of the walnut chunk!! 😊
Yes to the addition
It needs a cozy stone fireplace and shouldn't actually TRIPLE the size of the existing space.
@@jamesellsworth9673 Yes to stone fireplace
Welcome back guys! Missed your videos, hehehehe
Very nice spot. Nice cabin. Congratulations on 10 yrs. 🎉
Dude! In all my 75 years I'd never seen shelves done like that! So, so cool! I can't wait to try it!
Congratulations on your 10 years. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy 10th Anniversary Kevin& Rachel - heres to many more🍻
make slide in screens that fit the window socket without intruding on the opening. Easy to make, and having a roll of screen material on hand will be useful for repairing screens.
Congratulations 🥰
Happy 10th Anniversary. Yes, addition room on side.
I think an addition would be a great idea. I think people sometimes build cabins/homes, etc. in stages. In actuality, you could eventually have an addition on both sides, the front and the back, but that would take a while. An enclosed front porch, an enclosed back porch, and rooms on either side could expand the possible uses for the now smaller cabin.
Enjoyed hanging out with you. Gave you a thumbs up.
Grattis from Sweden. We had our 35:th anniversery a mounth ago. Take care.
I just love when she comes in the videos!
She settles you so much!
Congratulations on 10 years! Wishing you many more!
The sun winter spring etc room sounds really good xx
I enjoy these vids so much and appreciate you, your family and Don for allowing us small glimpse into your lives. Very cool!
Good morning from Syracuse NY USA everyone
I really enjoy these maintenance and upgrade videos. I could watch them for hours. It’s relaxing, entertaining, and informative!
belated Happy Anniversary !Rachel and Kevin! Cheers to another 10!!! Liz from Ontario, Canada
Congratulations on the 10 year Anniversary 🎊🎊
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, and you are such a sweet family. Happy Anniversary!
Very excited about the creek project. Been thinking the place needed that sort of water feature for quite some time. Was going to stop by and see you guys last week but my wife of 30 years said no way.
The cabin looks awesome, that bed is very nice. Good to see your wife making an appearance, you guys make a cute couple, 'ten years' does seem like a long time.
By the title of the video, I was thinking, 'Oh boy, they must be fighting', lol. Great work on the upgrades, and happy anniversary!!
Finally!! It's great to see how well the cabin is holding up.
Happy Anniversary guys!
Congratulations 10 years wonderful 👍
Four season room. Don’t forget the misters for dog days of summer!!
Congratulations on your anniversary! Consider building a covered dog run between your original cabin and the new one. That way you have a communal space between the rooms. Really wearing a ball cap in bed! Miss Bean.
Good morning from Minnesota USA!!! Great episode!!
Their Anniversary and Kevin’s talking about mattress testing Time 👏😂 Bravo Kevin 😂
I once stayed in a little cabin like that same setup for sleeping for work.I found by screwing in a hook the kind you usually hang bicycles with in the garage from the center beam on the ceiling I can easily make a dumb waiter. I chose to use some neat looking cordage and an old aluminum bucket.That way your hands aren't full when you're trying to climb up and down the ladder. A tie off cleat can be secure to your loft easy peasy. I hope you guys had a great anniversary.PS you might also want to turn that mattress the other direction I found it easier to roll out of bed over to the ladder than it is to crawl.😉
10 year hype 🎉
A sun room is a must if you plan on spending considerable time there.. even though it adds extra cleaning work..
Congratulations, 10 years, outstanding. We just had our 42nd anniversary last may. It's been a great ride. I would love to see you do an addition to the cabin. Great video. Mike from Maine.
Yes..I vote for the addition!!
Congratulations to you both. I wish you many more years together. I always love seeing Rachel come by.
chunk of quarter round attached to the door over your threshold to keep rain and/or dust settling in.
Do you have any tempered glass you could mount under your safety rail?
a ceramic tile will destroy your knives but be great for hot pots. get a wood or plastic cutting board.
I think that you should build an addition on your cabin to hold more people. That would be cool. By the way, Happy Anniversary to the both of you. You are great, and your videos are great, too.
Love the wife and for 10 yrs , she has sealed with you're silliness. Cabin up grade perfect the stove oven needs cleaning or up grade.
Addition is a good idea. The loft looks great😊
Only thing missing is a couple of recliners or nice chairs to sit in to be comfortable. Definitely need an addition.
I recommend a waterproof/bugproof mattress cover for your new mattress if you're keeping it in a cabin. To keep out mold and any bugs that might find it tasty
#🎉CONGRATULATIONS on 10 Years !!! Have a Happy🥂Anniversary 🎊
Another great video love watching your projects and congratulations on 10 years Kevin you have a beautiful wife take good care of her 😁👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Please do a bushcraft type video with your brother - they were my favourite back when your brother was physically fit and used to post them - I hope god helps him become better - if you do do it I just cant wait to see how you add your modern self reliance twist to it 🎉
I love that you used hard drive magnets for the door. I've done the same in a few places myself!
Happy Anniversary ya'll! I'm really liking the table you made, it adds flair and fashion to the off grid cabin. The handrail turned out nice as well. Love what ya'll are doing ❤😊
Happy anniversary. I am a newly wed. Hoping for the same relationship you two have. And our dream is to move to Newfoundland and build off-grid. We are moving next month. We both love your videos. Such an inspiration.
The cabin is awesome and congratulations on your marriage
That ponds looks so good now
Happy anniversary!”good life with that “❤
Congratulations on the big ten!!
