- In this episode we work hard to seal up the cabin from the elements with screws, spray foam and tar paper. We are now working on the outhouse: • Building Outhouse at O...
In between guests to the small cabin, we install the electrical wiring fed from our Briggs and Stratton Q6500 generator. Briggs and Stratton: www.briggsandstratton.com
We build a small outbuilding up and away from the cabin to house the generator and protect it from the elements using reclaimed materials from pallets. metal roofing from a neighbor and cedar siding the was left over from our main cabin build.
Our 6500 generator should be plenty of power to run our lights and small electrical needs in the cabin.

As always we are using our HD36 Norwood Portable Sawmill.

A big struggle with our cabin is keeping it warm using natural materials that are inherently leaky. So we really need to close in all the gaps.

Whenever we run out of lumber, we just mill more wood from trees that are right on the property. We'll use handtools like hammers, axes, saw, shovels and prybars, but will also use power tools including chainsaws, winches, atv's, and a chopped up SUV whenever it is convenient.
We will be using cedar and spruce trees that are standing dead so we don't have to kiln dry the wood or let it season.
Please follow along with the full playlist in order to understand the full construction of the tiny cabin.
In this series we use materials around us to construct a small forest cabin.
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.

Hey Chris! Congratulations on the 600K subs! Road to 1M! Looking forward to you using the Foxpro and your critter control
Chris you should put a doghouse name board above the Door on the Genny shack that says "Genny"
Awesome, you guys did good. I want to visit that little cabin for a meal, looks fun as it gets. Not mosquitoes season though.
.
FULL STOP
Your cabin reminds me so much of my grandparents camp when I was growing up. I'm 42 now and spent the biggest part of my youth and teenage years roaming woods very much like that. Watching this video series has brought back so many nostalgic memories of a simpler time!! Great video and as always, keep up the great work brother!!!
Thumbs up from a fellow celiac! For me the first meal cooked on our woodstove on the first fire of the year is always a special moment.
Thanks for explaining things like tar paper and stuff for those of us that didn't get the chance to learn about construction. I'm learning a lot, thank you
I can tell Kevin has done lots of this work. He is quite skilled. I like his etiquette.
Build a big enough out house to put the generator in and a battery to automatically start the generator when you throw a swich. Heated outhouses in the winter are such a luxury lol.
I was hoping to pipe in heat from the cabin lol
Nice Generator and small building for it. The inside of the cabin is coming along nice. It will be a nice warm place in the winter. Amazing job and great cabin . Your brother and friends are good people.
I want to thank you for being real and sharing your life with us the viewer. I don't always comment so I'm just going to say " Thank You"
Hi. Pete here from Scotland. I love the Chanel it’s reduces my stress levels and gives me something to dream about. One day I will build a cabin in the woods and be glad I spent 5 hours in your kind company. Live long my friend.
You guys doing the siding from the outside THEN applying tar paper from the inside is pure genius!
My husband and I live off grid full time, in Manitoba Canada. It gets dark in the winter around 4pm.
We don't feel like we are missing anything, for us it is a great way to live.
Men each time I see y’all in a cabin I love more... enjoy your simplicity , and recharge your soul good for you my friend ...great video and thank you for let us be part of your journey 🤝🍻
So happy for you guys on getting a generator! Granny and i are loving the videos. Kids look soo happy out there. Granny cant wait for your ne,t video. I still am in love with the cabin siding. Its soo BEAUTIFUL
FULL STOP
That Genny will power everything you guys plan to run that is forsure. Great sponsor to have!!
Cabin is looking really nice.
You could make them a name plate for the dog house "GENNY". THAT BE FUNNY.
Thanks man!
That's all your going to hear is that oil burner, when it does run properly . Nice camp though nice job.
Full stop all the way.. glad you got Briggs as a sponsor, solid company. Very kool video, you have a kool group of talented friends. Thank you an till next time.. stay safe n God bless
Next time you guys build a new structure, you should totally make an ASMR vid of applying the spray foam to gaps. The sound is really soothing 🤤💜
Your thoughts on the whole idea of having something away from the hustle and bustle of everyday routines is right on the money. I have a place out in the country that waits for me to visit on the weekends. I'm not off grid but I too enjoy the silence. At night listening to the Coyotes cry or the hoot hoot of the great Horned Owl. After a night or weekend out there I get recharged for the week coming up and the routine starts all over. Thanks for the enlightenment . I see now why you have a lot of subscribers.
The place is coming together nicely. Sweet generator!
I have had two cabins one on 6 acres and the other on 18 I built both . There is just something about a cabin your video brings me right back there .the peacefulness it clears your thoughts and the food tastes so much better when cooked on a wood stove or the camp fire .thanks for sharing
I actually watched the whole thing on my fire stick,and think you guys are Bad Asses. I wish was able to do what y'all do,much applause.👏👏👏👏
Loving this build, a lot of detail and work put into your sweet cabin. That generator is amazing and so quiet. The kids are great!
Full stop! Great video as always and thank you for sharing your adventures with us all.
Always enjoyable watching your channel! Awesome progress. Nice to see the kids having fun. Thanks so much!
I'm envious of your snow. Where I live in North Carolina it's spring with a high of 15° C today.
you consider that to be hot?
@@romeodavis1052 No. I like snow.
Being up in the mountains away from the city and people, is SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN, to relieve stress. The mountains have positive ions that “recharge” your body. It’s facts! I love the mountains. They mean everything to me. I feel so much closer to my God when I am far far away up in the mountains. It’s a really relaxing and also invigorating! I get so much energy when I am up hiking the mountains! Love it.
Hey, totally resonate with the 'exist' in the city thing, but truly only 'live' in the great outdoors. The amenities of civilization are great - but my soul only recharges when I'm outside. Something about getting connected with how life is all interconnected better there, I guess.
Yup, same. Recharge is a great word.
FULL STOP! Great tribe of family and friends you have:) This cabin looking better and better each time!
A time will come pretty soon, where those who gives you a thumb down will wish to have a small cabin like you.
Life will be so hard for ordinary folks , but those who had developed a self sustaining life are going to be kings. Good luck to you man, you are ahead of so many.
Snoopy looks nice and well built. Confrats for the power into your sweet cabin. Thanks for the upload, Chris. Enjoyed it.
Loving this cabin build! So cool. Love how you’re able to use “salvaged” materials.
Wow... it looks tiny from outside but inside looks pretty good space. Grt teamwork. Thx for sharing
Full stop. I’ve been bing watching the cabin build. Looks amazing!
This is my first time watching this episode but I just wanna say that is a very good way of describing how nice being off grid, even if it is only for a little amount of time does the body good. I am a huge fan of the outdoors and I love this channel because you show people what they possibly could be missing or even opening some peoples’ eyes to what the outdoors will do for someone and how beneficial it is
love how long you make these. good way to pass the time.
yes he passes time so quickly because he repetes himself so mutch.
Me: Oh, I'm not that into wood working
Also Me: watches multiple hours worth of videos about wood working
Oh boy. Another fine video. Having power out there is just awesome. Your Briggs and Stratton is really quiet, and it's awesome they sent you such a good work horse. Mint job there boys, can't wait to see snoopy covered in moss.
You and your friends blend well the joys of nature with the conveniences of modern life.
Nice job! always nice to have a place to get away! love all the help, it's really coming together!
Good vid i always have to watch the whole thing and have learned so much from your content....you are by far my favorite youtuber thanks
Full stop......good video. Kids having winterday marshmallows.
We have a generator house at our familys cabin to. Made out of block. We have 2 vents in the back n still leave the door open when it's running. You should vent that... in the summer it gets really hot in there, you need air flow so your motor doesn't over heat.
Full stop as always. Contents always the ultimate. 👍
Thanks boss!
Another amazing video! great words of wisdom as well. Thanks for the great content.
Good sir, your sense of philosophy continues to inspire us all!
I agree with the TV. It gets dark pretty fast in the winter here in Canada, and on a rainy cold day. You might just want to watch a movie with the family.
What, no egg sammiches ???
No wonder Kevin didn`t say much, the poor kid was hungry ! lol
That chicken soup looked like it hit the spot. The cabin is looking great, you can hardly tell it`s warping.
Thank You for sharing your video, and your update with us. ATB
Haaha, warping :)
Great video again man !!! I know you have a huge following now, but I agree with others comments, you don't have to appologize or explain every little decision you make in regards to how you are building, deciding how you guys are going to use "your" cabin. If you want to put a hot tub, big screen tv, surround sound, Led lighting in every nook and cranny, you guys built it, do what you want !!! Cheers man, keep up the awsome content and positive videos and insights !!! Thanks, Rick, a huge fan !!!
Epic video. Sick of living in the UK, I'd do anything to live in Canada and have a cabin like this in the middle of the woods. Don't stop sharing this stuff, it's a really fun watch. Kudos.
Wow! What a wonderful gift from Briggs and Stratton ! I dig the cabin build man , and , as a former home builder, carpenter , drywaller , roofer, you are doing great. Addressed the air flow situation, which is you main concern with heat loss. That will kick the heat up in the cabin. As long as you have some air flow so excess moisture can escape , like through the roof vent for example, you won’t have a mold issue either - a house needs to breathe a little. The moisture that comes from a human being can be gallons PER day, way more than you would imagine. Keep a goin, it is looking really great man!
I think you guys should expand an addition to the cabin. Maybe a breezeway connecting another cabin?
Build it bigger!
Liking how you sealed the gaps in the siding with the screws, tar paper and spray foam. You will be toasty in there.
I hope you are going with LED lights so you can run on battery most of the time.
Great video! Watched the almost 4 hour long building cabin video yesterday. Awesome work you guys do. Have some big buildingprojects myself at home. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Thank You both so much for sharing this
Cheers from Alaska. Thanks for the content, starting my own build this summer.
Briggs and Stratton is located where I live - at least in a nearby community. Nice doghouse! That son of yours is easily entertained - most kids would want that sled pulled faster! Stay safe!
Snoopys house tin roof has some real sharp edges , you may wanna round off the corner so your kids or dogs don't get ripped up from those corners , good looking dawg house lol
FULL STOP and adds bro :-) hats off for Briggs and Stratton and all the other sponsors who donated to the project and the great team of helpers. Great show bro :-)
That gen is actually not at a bad price point. Looking forward to seeing it in action more. Might have to snag one :)
I am curious about the generator too, wise of the Briggs rep to see the opportunity and step in. To hopefully see it in real use is better than advertising.
Man i could watch these all day Love the content WB
Just wanted to say thank you for the awesome videos. Just came across these and the wife and I love them. I have been trying to convince her to build a cabin as well. Cheers and god bless. Love the family and friends atmosphere, I am family and fiends first as well. Take care!
You guys are awesome, thank you for being authentic....
Maybe a small paddle fan in the loft to move heat back down in winter and cool in summer. Light kit would work too. They make really small ones!
Hey Chris! Congratulations on the 600K subs! Road to 1M! Looking forward to you using the Foxpro and your critter control
Loved this video too. So glad i found you guys. Ive been binge watching you all
I don't care what the haters say, I think the way you've built the cabin is good to me. Wow, that was a quiet generator. Just make sure you allow sufficient air flow for the generator, but I'm sure you know that already. Just a FYI, my buddy installed one of those cheap Harbor Freight 110 watt solar panel systems connected to a deep cell battery in his cabin and it will power his LED shop light and stereo all weekend.
Live and learn 😁
That tar paper will smell good this summer but it'll work. I'm not sure "Easier" is the right word 😂
Good job guys and enjoy!
Great video bud. That's certainly a quiet generator. Hope to be able to do something like this someday.. good job!
Hey buddy always great ness wooded beardsmen the man the legend of the woods and the rivers an lakes and streams I'm big fan my Canadian pal lots respect to y'all keep it up buddy ...
Roxul/Rockwool is awesome. Super dense stuff makes it easy to work with and not a mess unlike bat insulation. I just used a bunch on a job, it was only required to be used at the top of the bays from the 1st to 2nd floor as a fire block. You'll be happy with your choice. Keep up the awesome work man, we all enjoy your content. And best of luck with finishing up your cabin! Cheers!
Yes, B'y! FULL STOP! This was a(nother) great video segment in the Off-Grid Cabin series! Thanks for introducing all the guests & family & friends. #KeepMakingMemories #ThanksForLettingUsTagAlong
Just some suggestions from a long time off grid builder. Wrap the wall framing with tar paper before you apply your lap siding and that is a wind and vapor barrier. I understand your reasons for doing it your way. That genny is a monster and probably much more than you need. I hope you will consider solar and a 400 watt system is what I use. Get away from high gas prices.
Words of wisdom my friend. Now that Biden is gonna kill the economy, gas will be twice what ut is now.
@@icanfartloud that statement aged well.
This is such a whole series and i love it
I love Briggs n Stratton!!!!!
I can't wait to see this place surrounded by greenery
Great video/content, thank you guys.
Always looking forward to these videos!
Canadian Tire just got those generators in last week(Aug 2019)/here in Nova Scotia....just wish it had a remote start....Thanks for running it so now I get an idea of the noise level....
WOW WHAT A GREAT JOB.WISH I WERE THERE I WOULD MOVE INTO THE NEW SHED.YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN THERE WHAT A GREAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS YOU HAVE YOUR BROTHER IS A GOD SENT WITH ALL HIS HELP MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL .
frank brewer WHAT A NICE COMMENT I AGREE HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND I DREAM OF ONE DAY DOING THE SAME THING AND BUILDING A SMALL CABIN IN THE FOREST
Best inspiration for me a new dad to be Feb 2020!
That's a clever way to tie the siding together, I would thought to come back nd face nail it but your way is definitely better. When doing cedar shakes in battens Without plywood, you cut the roll of tar paper to the same length of the as the shingles and roll it over each course lapping it the same as the shakes or planks. Cabin is coming together nicely.
Not sure as i havent watched all of the eps. yet. but if you havent took care of the mold problem on the 2x4s yet. if you get a spray bottle and just some bleach in it. That will kill of the mold and prevent it coming back or growing into bigger problem later on. Just a helpful tip.
Chakat Nightsparkle You don’t want to spray bleach directly onto active mold without wiping it down with water first. Spraying the bleach on it first can actually cause the mold to shoot spores into the air and make it spread. Learned about this from doing mold remediation.
FULL STOP GREAT VIDEO CAN,T WAIT FOR MORE
Awesome episode!
The snoopy house is great... 😄
Nice job 👍
Nice dog house! Had one very similar, Porkys had a feast with it, next ones gonna be all tin!
You guys should like that unit I'd think. I like the little matching generator shack, looks good! FULL STOP!
FULL STOP! Not envious of all that snow at all. This is part of the year that is nice to live in Tx. Was a balmy 13° C here in Houston today and going to get up to 29° C later this week.
Awesome on the generator!
The top of the stove makes great toast !!
Full stop. Fantastic!
Luv ur video. Especially when u talk about ur life experience. Much luv from Indonesia
As long as LED lighting and an LCD TV, you’ll have plenty of power.
LED lamps are cheap these days, get a few of them for the cabin.
get some batteries and use the extra power to charge them so you have some power back up without needing to run the genny
Faenum I understand your point, but batteries are made to be use everyday. If you don’t they ‘’die’’ unless they get charged everyday, this is not a good idea.
I love your episodes that brings lots of happiness to my hart congratulations guys and god bless you guys/ thank you
It's great seeing the sub numbers going up and up, some I subscribed you've gained like 450 thousand since I found you on here.
Beautiful retreat to re-energize.
loved the episode as always man, full stop.
i really love your work men. keep it up!
While you are at it, you should put in a 12 volt circuit so that you can make use of the batteries that you mentioned you might charge. With batteries you can run 12 volt LED lights, fans and chargers on that circuit without continually running a generator. Also, a small inverter generator would to that more efficient, since it can run for 8 hours on a gallon of gas. For example, the Briggs & Stratton 30651 P2200 PowerSmart Series Portable 2200-Watt Inverter Generator. There are many others.
Thanks for sharing your stories. They really help some of us out. Best part of this episode starts @ 29:14
You guys should get some solar panels. I understand the trees really block out most of the sun but it’ll be nice to have that extra power
Where would they put the solar panels? They are below the forest canopy.
Sweet. Living like a king in the woods. Looks great. You gentlemen are doing a fine job. Enjoy.
