I do apologize! I have watched your videos for a number of years. I have finally subscribed! I have built your 10X10 cabin in my back yard. I live in a small town in South/Western Ontario. My project took me 5 years to build, building on my days off. I cut down the trees, debarked them, dried the logs, and build the cabin. A great family project as my wife, 3 daughters, brothers, and son in law helped in various ways to make it happen. The cabin looks awesome. All I can say is "Thank You" for letting me borrow your skills and thoughts. Continue to enjoy the time you have working with your dad. I started this when my dad entered a nursing home. He always asked how it was progressing, but was never able to see the final result. It is now my little workshop. Also a place for the grand children to play. Continue to inspire us, and may God always Bless you as you move forward.
He spent this week with his wife and daughter. It's ok if this is old footage. It's still amazing! Hope you enjoyed your time with your family Outsider. I lost my dad to cancer about a year ago, he was only 52. 2 years ago him and I built a small barn so he would have something to open a small engine shop repair business in. Unfortunately, he didn't get the opportunity. Seeing you and your dad during the cabin building series always reminds me of that time I got with my dad.
You just amaze me! There is none that can match your outdoor experiences, videography, angles, effects, fearlessness in the woods alone with wolves, knowledge ( maple tapping, hot water tank, etc.) Simply an outstanding well rounded individual is who you are! And the highest compliment I can give you is you Love The Lord! I sooo look forward to watching your videos! To learn and experience life outdoors with you and you dad! Salute! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outsider, thank you for an aweome 75 mins or educational and informational enjoyment, paired with mother nature... doesn't get any better. We live on a 9 acre piece of land, 3/4 is woods and we have 2 resident Owls living with us...... to watch them, erm find them, it's priceless... thank you for your awesome content, thoroughly enjoyed this hour..
I know I watched this a year ago but I watched the whole thing again. And to be honest I'll watch it again next year. It's so calming in this fast paced world. Thanks man.🙏 I hope all is well for you and the family.
You might bring additional foil-nacked insulation or space blankets to set up behind the fire and to the sides to reflect heat from the fire into your cabin. That way you could leave the door open without losing so much heat.
This an escape to another world, for those of us that live in cities (London) Thank you for sharing and for the time to you take to produce such great quality videos
I love your videos, I could watch and listen to your commentary all day!! Thanks for sharing. Hoping all is well with your wife, sending prayers for your family. 🙂
That Jag snowmobile always gives me memories of riding my grandpa's sled at his house before they auctioned it all away at least he and my grandma are still here life is way more important than materials 🤎
You should look into getting a diesel heater, dry heat, safe, sips fuel. With the small area you have to heat, the heater set at the lowest setting, should keep you warm all night. It does take a 12v battery to run the fuel pump, but it should last you for a week.
On the side where you put your feet with that little window you should put a table that folds up on that wall. And when ready to use it disconnect a chain or some type of latch and the table will fold down. Kind of like a bed that folds down from the wall in a studio apartment 👍
Oh-My-Gosh!✨🤗✨ Near 70 "Old-fart" here. EVERY time I see you and your dad together doing things, I think how great it will be for you to be able to share with family and friends how you two did things together. My dad and I really never did that 'bonding' thing. He was NOT what you would call a NURTURER... more the bread winner and disciplinarian. We DID occasionally go fishing, but barely ANY form of communication other than when I screwed something up or didn't DO right away when told. Anyway, YOU and your dad_ just SO friggin' awesome to watch. Thank you for what you bring to my monitor.
I like to watch this channel in winter. Especially since in winter vacation I sleep on roof with like 5°c with a blanket and thats all. My grandfather sleeps on roof too.
Well done Outsider. When Clunky vs freezing on zero degree nights in the woods, clunky wins out 👍. As always I really enjoy your presentations! Thx much!! Sitting inside as I stoke my wood insert thru the cold night, blowing warmth with those little self rotating eco-fans (magic!), I can really appreciate wood heat through the winter months.
More practical DIY innovation, Great! I continue to look forward to Saturday morning and my U-Tube friends. Your journey is informative and inspiring. I purchased an Outsider Flashlight and headband light last year and am satisfied with both. My son rates his headband light Christmas gift as Awsome. The new light appears to have a raised side switch which makes it easier to find, my only suggested improvement in the product. A very calming and inspiring video, your videographer skills continue to improve. Thanks for another worthy Saturday morning! Prayers for your wife, God Bless, and keep up the great work!
As a guy who's gone camping in -40 c (-40 F) I found that if I did not put my winter boots in a plastic bag, shove that bag in my sleeping bag. Getting up in the morning and try to shove my feet into frozen boots was a real chore trying to keep my socks dry.
I remember one time camping out and the temp was south of -30 and I left my bunny boots out. When I got up in the morning I put them on and and ran a mile. This was over 30 years ago.
Amazing shots ,drone work ,and editing !!!....not gonna lie Mr Outsider....you sure work the crap out of that old Jag....3 inches of travel on the back and your pulling a tandem rig !!.....most impressive !!.....Sr lookin manly as always !!....thanks so much for putting in the hours and time to share with us !!
I’ve enjoyed so much watching your videos I like watching shows like Last Alaska God bless you If God shows you something Hope you can share And it’s awesome to see how close you are with your Dad PS maple syrup looked great
Try bricks in the ammo box...Much bigger more uniform volume over rocks and flat so can easily stack(can even make a little brick oven with the fire / reflector?). You might be able, to trim them to fit in a singular ammo box? Double the insulation, maybe even clad the interior, add a YETI for the Solar panel, 1ft cargo box on the end for extra firewood/ equipment. Mass produce and make the Outsider Mobile Shelter (OMS). Your Dad's one will be a 7 star Hotel with all the lessons you have learned. This is a very impressive project - nothing but Kudos and respect for you.
Another Wonderful Time Spent with you, Outsider ! Love your Home Away From Home & Your Heating Methods, Can't wait for your next posting ! Have been using my Outsider Thrunite TC-15 for 14 months & no issues with it, Love The Coyote Brown Color, Prayers For You & Yours, Friend. ATB T God Bless
You could use a mini propane heater under the floor, venting up into camper. Like a Mr. buddy heater. Have it all outside. Maybe dig hole in snow under camper. Some sort of metal grate / vent.
I dimmed the lights and enjoyed..this video. I actually felt like I was out in the woods with The Outsider. Those howls! Wow! Every three weeks we get a snippet of the Outsiders life. However this week we get over an hour, and something totally different than any of his other videos. Thank You.
I was thinking the same thing, just so you don't lose any heat from inside. You then might need to have a larger fire, but he has a chainsaw and there's got to be a dead or dying balsam near every place he's been, or I assume. Seeing as how they're all dying here in the U.P. of Michigan. Not good for stove fires but perfect for a bonfire.
I was on that show with Sgt. Preston when I was pretty young. He was a gracious host. Good memories. That particular filming was just outside of Mammoth Lakes, California, in the high Sierras.
Your wilderness adventure is beautiful, especially the nocturnal sights and sounds of nature. Your fellowship with God is profound. Thank you for sharing your journey with others. God bless you, be well!
I'm glad you're not one of those college idiot in Minneapolis. George Floyd was a false flag. The guy actually died r years ago from a drug overdose. If they want justice for him they should arrest the dealer
Don't forget about hot boxing with the fumes from the lead based paint on those old cans. You're better off installing a tiny wood stove. But your cabin is slightly too small.
Another one of your projects that I LIKE to watch and to follow. So often, you come up with interesting technical ideas! Whatever the system and whatever time in history we look at, regulating shelter heat has been a challenge to bushcrafters. (And THAT is without dealing with the range of temperatures different individuals regard as being comfortable.
A possible improvement in the future would be to build in nooks for your heating boxes so they don't intrude on your sleeping space. Also, noticed you don't use a sleeping pad. I sure would. Also, you could carry a camp chair so you don't have to set in the snow.
Nice memories. Beautiful videography. That was rejuvenating. God’s country shared by one of his best. Great way to kick off the Holiday season as we prepare for Christmas during these trying times. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for you and your family.
I made a comment in one of your videos saying to run copper lines in and out of your camper but I didn't think of the ventilation situation you did excellent idea,I remember back when I was a kid guys ice fishing would use charcoal in a coffee can run to your open hole on the ice to keep the hole open so it wasn't freezing such they used a 1/4 inch copper line,that stuck in my head when you were experimenting with this similar method...great video and god speed!
Great video! Another option for thermal battery liquid would be salt water brine. It freezes at -21C, holds potentially more heat than antifreeze (depending on your mixture), and you can mix and discard it on site. Probably easier to bring a bag of salt than a jug of antifreeze. Just a thought!
I've walked the 1/3 mile of snow down to the cabin in Montana a few times in the dark...always carried a big stick calling "lions, tigers and bears, oh my!" out loud. Spooky! Great channel here!
@The Outsider ... hi there, as I watch this a few months later another thought comes to mind. If you put rocks in the bottom of the fire and stand your lobster pot over them, as the fire dies, the rocks will hold the heat longer than the dead coals, & keep your water hot longer. Thankyou for sharing your God-given adventures & may God continue to bless, protect, and guide you and your loved ones every day. Following from the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit aka Australia 🤗🙏💞🇦🇺
This video makes me envious. I used to camp in the winter. Now too old. Hint: Get a bed roll. I only saw a thin blanket under your sleeping bag. Huge improvement for comfort when you spend up to 8 hours on your back.
Love your videos and your bravery. A few months ago I got turned about in the woods in the daylight and had to use my phone's gps which was tracking my walk to get back to my car. Seeing you out there in the night just gave me heart palpitations. I also love your little camper, it makes me want to try camping.
The hot rocks are a great idea! But I'm afraid you gots a Sasquatch in da woods!! Besides the excellent filming, your resonant voice adds to the calming atmosphere. Your kids will love listening to you read to them!
Stay healthy, stay safe and most importantly stay warm! I recently saw a friends pool heater where he put a copper coil on his bbq grill and split his return line to also run through that coil. So far so good but that’s a lot of water to try and heat through a half inch line.(24 foot round above ground pool although 60°F is just plain weird for mid November ya?!) Great idea using a coil, I hope this really turns into something good for you, just keep your passion brother and it will! Thanks for taking us along😉✌🏼
What better way to welcome a new winter season, than to recount the season past. I hope you and your family are doing as well as possible in these challenging times. Be well, stay safe, and god bless.
You need to lean the difference between coyotes and wolves. There ar several types of tiny wood stoves that would work inside your shelter just fine but you wpild need better vents to provide outside air for the fire.
I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your channel. You give so much good information - loved learning the maple syrup process - and you & your dad are just awesome!
Hmmmm...it would be interesting to investigate attaching a steel-lined insulated wood box under the camper. Perhaps semi-rigid Roxul would work as insulation. Leave an uninsulated space above the box under the floor for the heat to radiate up into the living space and means to get the rocks in and out easily. Radiant underfloor heat!
I enjoyed warming my feet on a hot water bottle in my bed as a child, but I never had any inclination to warm them on a hot rock! I remember going camping as kids and the adults used to dig long and broad but shallow pits at camp sites during frost season. They then spread coals from the campfire in the bottom of the depressions and covered them with dirt which used to protect us from frost overnight.
I had homemade maple syrup a few years ago wow the taste is so awesome, store bought syrup taste like corn syrup especially after having real in the past. Yum yum.
You need and infrared camera with a pan & tilt base, and a small flat screen tv to get a 360 degree view at night to see all the critters that come around. All are available in a 12 volt DC system. (except for the critters)
Maybe you could create a small rack along that back wall that's slightly raised a bit from your sleeping bag that also has a small hatch you could flip-up to easily slide in your rock ammo boxes from the outside of the camper and then close the hatch and the boxes are snug inside. Just a thought. Love your creativity and your videos!
I was wondering if you ever considered using hand warmers to keep your little shelter warm? It would seem to be safer than heating stones and putting them in ammo cans that may give off a toxic gas that may injure you or burn you. Perhaps you might build a shelf with an edging around it so the ammo boxes will not accidentally fall on you, but yet, be out of the way. I'd also put a tough fabric screen over the vents so a critter could not come into your shelter in the middle of the night. I love your idea about heating your camper with a boiler concept. It is apparent that a lot of thought went into it.
The food look soo yummmy ❤ love the show. I love the you and dad build the home and the way you worked together. I didn’t a dad growing up still don’t have one. Both mum and dead when I was a baby. I envy any one that has a mum and dad. 😢
i think what may help is getting a folding camper canvas chair/table .maybe build a storage cubby on the back for it, that way you arent constantly opening the door and losing all that built up heat that your cans are working so hard to generate. also, id get a piece of foamboard and fill the vent...and drill a hole for the hose to run out for evaporation. temporarily , that way you arent losing more heat opening that whole vent all nite and letting more heat escape since heat does rise. you should have enough air flow through the gap above the door. i would also get a thermal mat under the wool blanket /sleeping bag to retain heat. , but it would help retain heat and be more comfy to snuggle down into. actually you could ...store all your bedding in that space over head... just use a locking hinged horizontal shelf. from back wall to frt no space wasted ;];] you could also swing it up againist the roof and use a sliding bolt lock to hold it there..so it doesnt fall when not in use..and it wont be in your way. just drop your bedding onto the floor, push shelf up to roof line and latch in place. make your bed up .done. im sure it would help from dragging your bedding in/out all the time;];];] just an idea to help with storage;];];] great video also;];];] no snow yet in maine, but the nights are asking for it....stay safe!!!
I still have the TC15 from when you first released it. I absolutely love it and it still works flawlessly today, but it looks like I'll be getting another one soon. I love the upgrades they have done in the new one and I look forward to getting one soon for my EDC!
I have one of those flashlights because you have promoted it before and it's an awesome flashlight that is rugged and reliable but the best part is your logo on it :)
I think that if the coils outside ever cool below the shelter temp, then the process will reverse and draw heat out of the shelter. Maybe close a valve at the proper time. A small temp alarm on the tank...??

What a beautiful tribute to your great father. Thanx for sharing. God bless and keep your family ❤
Honestly, one of my fav channels on TH-cam these days. The quality, pacing, and content is A+.
Ok indi illumination kkkkkk9klk
Outsider, thank you for an aweome 75 mins or educational and informational enjoyment, paired with mother nature... doesn't get any better. We live on a 9 acre piece of land, 3/4 is woods and we have 2 resident Owls living with us...... to watch them, erm find them, it's priceless... thank you for your awesome content, thoroughly enjoyed this hour..
I know I watched this a year ago but I watched the whole thing again. And to be honest I'll watch it again next year. It's so calming in this fast paced world. Thanks man.🙏 I hope all is well for you and the family.
Much appreciated! 🙂🙏 Take care, my friend.
I always got your support I always support you take care of yourself and your family be safe out there keep showing me more videos have a nice day
So wonderful I love watching.
They probably smell that food cooking and are ready to go chow down 🤣🤣💜
You might bring additional foil-nacked insulation or space blankets to set up behind the fire and to the sides to reflect heat from the fire into your cabin. That way you could leave the door open without losing so much heat.
This an escape to another world, for those of us that live in cities (London) Thank you for sharing and for the time to you take to produce such great quality videos
You sure have a beautiful life
Enjoyed as always. Hope the wife is doing well. Prayers to all.
I love your videos, I could watch and listen to your commentary all day!! Thanks for sharing. Hoping all is well with your wife, sending prayers for your family. 🙂
Thank you Kathy! 🙂🙏👍
That Jag snowmobile always gives me memories of riding my grandpa's sled at his house before they auctioned it all away at least he and my grandma are still here life is way more important than materials 🤎
Same here. I had a 1986 Cougar which looked very similar. It was a 500 cc fan instead of a 440 fan like the Jag.
Wow your adventurist!! Love your channel!! It’s a channel that makes us city, homebound people breath in fresh air !! God always be with you!
Anyone else watch this stuff to go to sleep to? I find it so relaxing
So much information about getting maple syrup from the trees. Thank you very much. 💜
Nice video. No way I’d go out there at night in deep snow with wolves howling.
Looks like your food is fit for a King and very delicious 💜
You should look into getting a diesel heater, dry heat, safe, sips fuel.
With the small area you have to heat, the heater set at the lowest setting, should keep you warm all night.
It does take a 12v battery to run the fuel pump, but it should last you for a week.

You could dig a small hole against fire and add your rocks , then place your pot on top , would help with heat loss late at night, always enjoy

The recordings of the wolves at night is simply incredible. Bone chilling.
Excellent videos. I listened to your wife and your story. Amazing what God has done in your lives !!!
You could use a mini propane heater under the floor, venting up into camper. Like a Mr. buddy heater. Have it all outside. Maybe dig hole in snow under camper. Some sort of metal grate / vent.

Possible modification: build a folding bench that attaches to the side of the cabin for when its closed up.

As I watched the opening scenes, a cherished TV show came to mind. Sgt Preston of the Mounties shouting “On King. On you huskies.”
I use to listen to that on Radio before it finally moved to TV. Watched it there, too.
Never heard of it, but now I'm gonna have to check it out. 😄👍
@@TheOutsiderCabin loved the show!! Sgt. Preston of the Mounties.
Oh, I just loved that show as a child! King was the best.

🙏🙏🙏
@@TheOutsiderCabin thank you Outsider for sharing your journeys. Some day I hope to do the same thing. Once I move back up north.
I'm glad you're not one of those college idiot in Minneapolis. George Floyd was a false flag. The guy actually died r years ago from a drug overdose. If they want justice for him they should arrest the dealer
Don't forget about hot boxing with the fumes from the lead based paint on those old cans. You're better off installing a tiny wood stove. But your cabin is slightly too small.
Replace the rubber gaskets in your ammo cans with rope gaskets made for wood stoves and ovens. It comes in a variety of diameters. 💜🌞🌵😷

Whatever the system and whatever time in history we look at, regulating shelter heat has been a challenge to bushcrafters.

Just look at that perspective at 43:43, KILLER production value!
I've walked the 1/3 mile of snow down to the cabin in Montana a few times in the dark...always carried a big stick calling "lions, tigers and bears, oh my!" out loud. Spooky! Great channel here!

Those wolves sound amazing!
If you want more comfort in your bed, a small backpacking air mattress makes a big difference. ♡ Terri (Michigan)
Very much enjoyed this, thanks!
This video makes me envious. I used to camp in the winter. Now too old.
Hint: Get a bed roll. I only saw a thin blanket under your sleeping bag. Huge improvement for comfort when you spend up to 8 hours on your back.
Just ordered the flashlight. Been thinking about it for a while and with your discount and watching you use it clinched the deal for me. Thanks

Enjoyed this footage again....always relaxing and peaceful....drone footage is great.
Get yourself a swag an Aussie bed roll. Has a mattress built in canvas cover etc. but you can make your bed up in it then roll it up. Etc.
These are amazing!
Stay healthy, stay safe and most importantly stay warm! I recently saw a friends pool heater where he put a copper coil on his bbq grill and split his return line to also run through that coil.

Great idea using a coil, I hope this really turns into something good for you, just keep your passion brother and it will! Thanks for taking us along😉✌🏼
Only through the first chapter so far, but I appreciate your veneration of the coyotes/wolves so much. A much needed voice for our canine friends.
A cosy 17 degrees celcius, you must be canadian to say that!😊
Or Scandinavian. Or Swiss, Austrian.. lots of us that are comfy in +15 or higher :p
17 is shirt sleeve weather

What better way to welcome a new winter season, than to recount the season past.
I hope you and your family are doing as well as possible in these challenging times.
Be well, stay safe, and god bless.
Your snowmobile pulls these sleds effortlessly. Good sleds!
I’m from Brazil, I watch your videos and they’re satisfactory I watch to sleep, it calms too much, big hug🇧🇷
You need to lean the difference between coyotes and wolves. There ar several types of tiny wood stoves that would work inside your shelter just fine but you wpild need better vents to provide outside air for the fire.
Great to see you again 👍🤩
Can't wait see another video again.
I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your channel. You give so much good information - loved learning the maple syrup process - and you & your dad are just awesome!
I just joined and I think you are awesome I like what your doing it is so interesting I appreciate you thanks
You got me thinking about a wall mounted system with floor heating. The wall unit would need attachments for heat the heating unit. Hmmm
I think you should consider putting metal strips on the bottom of your skies so they would glide better and maybe last longer ? 💜
Hmmmm...it would be interesting to investigate attaching a steel-lined insulated wood box under the camper. Perhaps semi-rigid Roxul would work as insulation. Leave an uninsulated space above the box under the floor for the heat to radiate up into the living space and means to get the rocks in and out easily. Radiant underfloor heat!
I enjoyed warming my feet on a hot water bottle in my bed as a child, but I never had any inclination to warm them on a hot rock!
I remember going camping as kids and the adults used to dig long and broad but shallow pits at camp sites during frost season.
They then spread coals from the campfire in the bottom of the depressions and covered them with dirt which used to protect us from frost overnight.
Sorry hadn't seen your vids in awhile but I remember this project and I knew you'd get it working fine. Well done and God bless you and yours.
Like your rock experiment. I let hot sand fill the hot rocks in my dutch oven. This will slow down how much heat escapes as fast.
Awesome video my friend. Binge watched all night. I'm living in the Philippines now and miss cold weather. Thanks for taking g me there
I had homemade maple syrup a few years ago wow the taste is so awesome, store bought syrup taste like corn syrup especially after having real in the past. Yum yum.
Your shelters are so neat and clean, that’s what draws me to your videos,
You need and infrared camera with a pan & tilt base, and a small flat screen tv to get a 360 degree view at night to see all the critters that come around. All are available in a 12 volt DC system. (except for the critters)
Love your home made storage heaters...cannot beat the great outdoors
Use pex and put the heat in the floor. Small holding tank with return coming off the lowest in floor line
I love your videos. Also I bought the flashlight. Your right TrueNight is a good flashlight. You have me hooked now. 😁
Maybe you could create a small rack along that back wall that's slightly raised a bit from your sleeping bag that also has a small hatch you could flip-up to easily slide in your rock ammo boxes from the outside of the camper and then close the hatch and the boxes are snug inside. Just a thought. Love your creativity and your videos!
I was wondering if you ever considered using hand warmers to keep your little shelter warm? It would seem to be safer than heating stones and putting them in ammo cans that may give off a toxic gas that may injure you or burn you. Perhaps you might build a shelf with an edging around it so the ammo boxes will not accidentally fall on you, but yet, be out of the way. I'd also put a tough fabric screen over the vents so a critter could not come into your shelter in the middle of the night. I love your idea about heating your camper with a boiler concept. It is apparent that a lot of thought went into it.
Man... You are living my dream
The food look soo yummmy ❤ love the show. I love the you and dad build the home and the way you worked together. I didn’t a dad growing up still don’t have one. Both mum and dead when I was a baby. I envy any one that has a mum and dad. 😢
Add pearl light to the sand mix that's what they use in rocket stoves to hold heat
I love that camper. What a neat idea.
i think what may help is getting a folding camper canvas chair/table .maybe build a storage cubby on the back for it, that way you arent constantly opening the door and losing all that built up heat that your cans are working so hard to generate. also, id get a piece of foamboard and fill the vent...and drill a hole for the hose to run out for evaporation. temporarily , that way you arent losing more heat opening that whole vent all nite and letting more heat escape since heat does rise. you should have enough air flow through the gap above the door. i would also get a thermal mat under the wool blanket /sleeping bag to retain heat. , but it would help retain heat and be more comfy to snuggle down into. actually you could ...store all your bedding in that space over head... just use a locking hinged horizontal shelf. from back wall to frt no space wasted ;];] you could also swing it up againist the roof and use a sliding bolt lock to hold it there..so it doesnt fall when not in use..and it wont be in your way. just drop your bedding onto the floor, push shelf up to roof line and latch in place. make your bed up .done. im sure it would help from dragging your bedding in/out all the time;];];] just an idea to help with storage;];];] great video also;];];] no snow yet in maine, but the nights are asking for it....stay safe!!!
I still have the TC15 from when you first released it. I absolutely love it and it still works flawlessly today, but it looks like I'll be getting another one soon.
I love the upgrades they have done in the new one and I look forward to getting one soon for my EDC!
I have never seen twenty liter jerry cans with such large necks before they look very useful and versatile.
I have one of those flashlights because you have promoted it before and it's an awesome flashlight that is rugged and reliable but the best part is your logo on it :)
😎👍Great video. Wish you continued sucess on the heater.
I think that if the coils outside ever cool below the shelter temp, then the process will reverse and draw heat out of the shelter. Maybe close a valve at the proper time. A small temp alarm on the tank...??
