I feel you're doing great. I was born and raised and still live in Alaska. The negative judgemental people making negative comments. They live in rural cities where building codes and inspectors exist. Keep teaching and sharing your doing great. 🎉.
I’ve been watching this video straight thru now over 3 hours!!! I’m a professional contractor and have been for over 30 years. Please ignore whoever these idiots are that are being so overly critical of every little detail. They don’t understand what your trying to accomplish or for that matter what you have already accomplished. Ignore the haters and live ur life style!! Be proud of what you have built bc you have done a great job. And if some of these so called “experts” are critical of whether or not every facet of your build doesn’t meet code then tell them to unsubscribe!! If they can’t offer any constructive criticism or ideas then they are useless. Great job!!! Live your life brother!!
@@barbarasteed3966 What are you talking about? He is EXACTLY right (Carlos Cardona)...weakness hates strength, and the unsuccessful will always envy the successful!!!
I know im here almost 2 years later, but my question is this: They are in the middle of the damn wilderness, WHAT codes could possibly be enforced in any case? Just build and ignore.
I thought I knew a lot about tools, but the power tool I see being used to attach the shakes I don't know what it is or what kind of fastener it is. Can you please explane more about that tool? Thanks
I watched the 3+ hour first and second season at one stretch. What can I say, I work at home. I am a State Construction Plan reviewer in the U.S. and a former licensed contractor. I just watched the scene about the criticizes. This what I have to say about it. This is a building on private property that in not intended for permanent occupation. It is technically not conditioned, even though there is wood heat and insulation. I would not get heartburn about not following the Residential Code because it is not a residence. It is a recreational shelter. There were a couple things I might have done differently but overall I liked the show, I liked the commentary and I love the little cabin. Some people like to complain to make themselves seem important. Just remember this! They are wrong. I just subscribed and will keep watching. Thank You.
I agree Dee. I think the framing was done correctly. The roof is a nice touch and the cedar shakes also. It is also, not completely finished. Complainers are the ones who probably do not know the difference from a header and a footer...or a 10p nail from a thumb tack.
I would definitely use this on a atv trail camping cabin specially during brutal temps. There is always a group of negative people in the world and thats ok. Their negativity inspires most to continue doing what makes them happy not what makes the haters happy. And most of the haters practically don't do anything themselves so they are judgmental of others happy places. I myself would do the exact same thing these guys have done because ive watched Amish builders do the exact same thing these guys are doing its all old school old tech that has lasted for quite some time. And Amish builders I would prefer them to work on my home because id trust them as for structure being stable to last for years. I 100% support these guys and frankly if I lived near these guys I would be there to assist them on completing this project. Help and encourage everyone and most of all be happy while doing it.
It’s easy to learn something by following the experience of others. If that’s why one watches TH-cam, there are several things to leant here. Some things shouldn’t be repeated, but I applaud the guys for getting off the couch and giving it a go. Would be great to see them do a COE on what they would’ve done differently. A rough plan and a few hours of forethought and discussion would’ve been well worth it.
And oh what adventures will be remembered there! The building of the cabin, the friendships, sharing, hunting, childhood memories for the kids. Simply amazing!
My husband died from cancer in 2006. He worked and "played" in the outdoors all of his life. Did tree work with asplundh tree company using a climbing crew as a foreman for many years. He surface hunted for native American artifacts all of his life once he left the Navy in 1972. He was a really good man. He never got the chance watch all of these types of outdoors channels, but he would have enjoyed them a great deal. I feel that I am sort of watching for both of us. He would have had a lot to say to people with nothing positive to say about anything that people do while they (as far as we know) sit around not doing anything but complain and try to put people down. I'm sure not all of it could be put on the comments section? We all as a country need to avoid the negative people and concentrate on lifting up the productive ones! Just keep on being you and the ones that matter will keep on watching! Hope you all have a Happy New year! 🤗
thats very a very beautiful and sweet thought. I am sorry for your loss. sounds like he was an awesome person. bless you and thanks for the positivity.
Sorry about your lost🙏 imagine if we never left this passing times,? This world would be nothing but an old old timers tent.and we all we had to lessen to hou it was in the days. And we all end up in ther hand of mercy. Peace stay safe🙏
Sorry iforgot my dad was this way. What I did was put cotton balls in both my ears because of my long hair he never knew I could hear him hardly but iamsure he sounded why I stay to leading to him complain and bucket on and on.peace🙏
@@mariadaigle837 my husband was a really good man, he had a long list of experiences and accomplishments. He had some interesting opinions about a lot of things and had a lot of friends that were there for both of us for a lot of years. Some of his negative comments about a few people were well earned and just about always dead on target 😏🤟.
Everyone that is reacting negatively are totally missing the point. What I see is a father, sons and friends working hard, enjoying the outdoors and enjoying each other’s company. The time spent with my parents and siblings camping, fishing and hunting are some of the most memorable of my life. They built a cabin but the memories they created will last a lifetime and will give comfort when needed. Good job guys. 👍
theres is not 1 goddamn thing wrong in thisd whole video. just family and friends working and hanging out with each other. his little niece at the endf was adorable
Rewatching this 5 years later. This series is what brought me to the woodedbeardsman. And then onto Kevin’s channel and I watch pretty much all of Kevin’s builds and most of your adventures. Side note. Watching both Holden and Lina on the channels 5 years later you and your family’s have raised children to be proud of. Confident and polite.
I am a registered architect and yes, there were a few giveaways on the amount of experience this crew brought to the project. Yes, there were a few things I would do different. But I can also say that there is nothing greater than forging ahead and completing an original piece of art work that provides one of the three pillars of human survival. Sometimes the best original design work comes from the untrained hand. Once we learn how everyone else builds, we have begun the process of herd mentality and creative corruption. Keep up the good work. You are making something real and that can never be taken away from you guys.
Yes I agree they are doing a great job all but not pouring cement for the poles they put in the ground...I had just seen another cabin being build by a guy & his wife and the purchased some cement disk to put in the holes before he put the poles in the ground , but I've seen my day add gravel & cement to things he would put in the ground making a fence.....before & after adding the poles....and I don't remember one ever coming out of a hole.....lol
My dad used to take me to help him do side jobs. He would call me lightning boy... because my hammer never struck the same place twice. Love you dad ❤️
I love that y'all aren't some "overly rugged" tough guys - y'all are just regular dudes that like the outdoors. Keep up the great videos! Makes me want to sell everything and go live in the woods
As opposed to what? Sounds like you have preconceived notions about these things. What's a "tough guy" by your definition. Trust me, almost no man that does this type of stuff is some weak soyboy.
Congratulations man for being cancer free and for living the way you are. There's so many people me including that would love to live the way you are offgrid in a absolutely gorgeous cabin and i myself was raised with an outhouse and would like to have one again
DAMN, THAT WORK LOOKS TOUGH. HIND SIGHT IS PERFECT, BUT OTHER BUILDS I'VE SEEN MADE SURE THEY GOT THE ROOF ON ONCE THE RAFTERS WERE IN SO AS TO BEAT THE WINTER SNOW. I'VE XWAT HED SEVERAL OF THESE BUILDS. YOU ALL JUST GRAB MY ATTENTION
Hi! I’m a 74 year old woman and I spent the whole day watching this cabin build. I love it!!!! Makes me wish I was a young woman again and could do great things like this. Love the kids playing also!!!! They will remember it forever!
74 is like 54 these days. Even the fact that you are using the Internet and sharing your perspective so eloquently is very different to 74 year olds from a century ago. I wonder what you could build - if only in your mind! I think you'd be surprised!
Same. Here, I am - living in a bungalow, in West Midlands, UK. There's no way - currently - that I can build a cabin. In truth, I have only come as far that I am going to purchase a rotary sawer.
Being in Construction for almost 25 years, im sure there were small (if any) corners cut. But i haven't heard anyone say "well, it's just a cabin in the woods, so...." Much respect for all of you. I've been binge watching all of your videos, and will be disappointed when it come to an end. But i am a subscriber, and a huge fan of all of you. Chris- Maine, USA.
Hello guys, I am in the United States, and I have just found yall. I grew up in the mountains. So, I have this to say about this house. There are many homeless that would love to live in that cabin. I feel that your group is perfectly teaching and showing so many people how to fend for themselves. All of those who speak against this are the ones who would never be able to survive in the wilderness because nothing is up to CODE . I plan to continue to watch, I love this.
The entire purpose of it is to build with what you have. So many people can’t do that sadly. General construction knowledge is such a good thing to have too.
@@jameshersom2536 Totally agree and in addition to that many people rely on grocery stores for their food. Home economics needs to be added back to our schools. Teach the future how to grow and preserve food that doesn't require refrigeration and many other basic self-sufficient skills like cooking, sewing, etc. Schools have done away with woodwork and auto shop as well and in turn are only focusing on only social media and tech skills.
I love the ritual burning of the unconstructive comments, lol. My uncle built a cabin the lasted 52 years. some of the best built structures were built with a good eye and a strong back. Congratulations on the build!
Just watching you interacting with your children has convinced me that you are a loving and caring person. I've always watched your brothers channel and enjoyed it very much. I'm very impressed with your channel as well. Keep doing what you're doing because it is positive and I enjoy it very much. Thank you.
I actually watched this from start to finish of the exterior. Will be watching the outhouse build. I am 56 years old and have been in construction since I was a 6 y.o. helping my father. I am a journeyman carpenter, 30+ years in the United States of America. I think you guys did a great job. Enjoyed watching! Haters will always be Haters. They are unhappy people who want to make everyone as unhappy as they are. Don't let them bring you down. Fun watching you work in Nature.
My father grew up using an outhouse, he often regaled us with stories about the importance of 'laying in wait' in order to assure yourself of a pre-warmed seat... Also, a sheet of the newspaper on a nail (wiping medium) could also be 'ignited' which admirably acted as an air freshener. 'Aloe Vera' was just a pleasantry voiced to someone called Vera back in the day.
Idk you personally, but you guys just look so chill to talk with and watching you build these huts is almost like a therapeutic experience. I could be watching these for hours. Seriously, thank you for making these videos, it's truly a pleasure to watch ❤️
LoTS OF PEOPLE ARE KEYIN IN ON YOR BUILDS THUREPUTIC VALUE. ME TOO. FOR ME,,IT IS 2 A. M.,AND THERE IS NO OTHER NOISE IN THE HOUSE BUT YOU GUYS. I DONT HAVE OTHER PEOPLE, PETS, TVS, NOT EVEN A CLOCK. THERE IS NO OTHER NOISE BUT YOU GUYS,,,,,,,SO KEEP BUILDING. I"M WATCHIN"
YOU GUYS ARE MAKIN" VERY GOOD PROGRESS. I"M WATCHIN" EVERY NAIL. I THINK THAT FOREST WAS PLANTED ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO. I DO THAT SORT OF THINGSTAND AROUND AND WATCH THE FOREST GROW. KEEP BUILDIN". I'M WATCHIN"
HEY, THAT CHERRY TREE LOOKS TO BE 1OO YEARS OLD. THAT SHOULD BE A KEEPER. I HATE IT WHEN THE OLDEST THINGS 8N THE FOREST HAS TO BE CUT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF H7MAN ACTIVITY. DAMN, COULD NOT THE CHERRY TREE HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE SCENERY.
In 70 years; I've seen my share of slip-shod carpentry, but this cabin in the woods you and your brother have built, ain't it, and something I would be proud to say that I had done. My dad was a carpenter, and taught me all he could in my youth. Despite my rebellious nature, I gained enough experience to keep me from having to pay someone else for any carpentry projects I've tackled over the years. Your excellent video brought back memories of me constructing a workshop of similar dimensions on my own, about 30 yrs ago. I surely could've used a hand a time or two, but, will never forget my sense of pride when completed. Nothing wrong with a 4hr video that's as entertaining as yours. I'm looking forward to watching season two, and enjoying catching up on the other videos as well. Thanks.
I spent all day watching you all and I absolutely love what you’re doing. I have no interest in doing this myself (maybe when my husband and I were younger… Ha) but watching you do this from scratch was one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen! I’m a 77-year-old grandmother and watching you young people do what you did is something that reminded me and brought to mind what the settlers went through when they established our country. (I live in Tennessee). God bless you young men. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Your strength and endurance was amazing to me and I am so glad I “ stumbled” onto your channel. I will follow you and hope you do another season. I am looking forward to it.
"This is truly the most heartwarming and genuine thing I've ever witnessed. Many people don't realize that before bureaucracy and regulations, it was simply about living within one's means. For young individuals just starting out, this often feels unattainable. However, what you’re doing offers hope, especially since many believe they will never be able to afford their own homes in this economy. You’re proving the skeptics wrong! Let the pessimists construct their lives on shaky foundations, while you continue to build yours strong and secure. :)"
Im an engineer, Developer/contractor Im 56 at this writing, and have been retired officially since 2009. I am because I can. That said, any buffoon giving you grief over building technique, procedure or lastly, mold, they are apparently the short bus crowd who never built, wired or plumbed ANYTHING in their lives. It's a cabin, not your permanent residence. I have seen a lot more in the wilds of Alaska that weren't built as well and were done 130 years ago or more...still standing and still used on occasion by the hunter or outdoor enthusiast. I love the video, think your approach was commendable and the dog helped ALOT! Continue burning the comments from the retards that want to split hair instead of wood, and you all keep the varmint population manageable while enjoying that excellent work of art out in the woods.
@@abg125 You dont know how true that is...but I stay busy building. And im not short on offers to consult. But retirement isnt really the definition...MORE TIRED is really whats happened. Especially as I have gotten closer to traditional retirement age, only 4 years out now.
@@abg125 You evidently do not know how to talk to anyone. It is none of your business if this man is retired or not. Retirement is simply a word the bureaucrats put on someone who feels they are ready to take it easy and can handle it. I am 76 years old, have never got to where I said I am retiring now. Yet, I have taken on my SS because I paid it into that fund which is not the government, yet they spend it, It is the workers, Now if I choose to work, I can, and it does no harm. So, why don't you back off and either find another place or speak with intelligence? B|
My grandpa built 4 houses and 1 log cabin in the mountains of Virginia and the only power tools he had was an old sawmill that ran off an old 4 cylinder engine of some type . This video reminded me of him and I enjoyed it very much , thanks for posting the video .
This is officially the longest video I've ever watched on TH-cam. And it was absolutely fantastic! Watching the entire build was great. Great content, earned you a sub.
Imagine how many people would love this cabin for a home. Having built my own conventional homes together with my hubby and 4 kids, 8 to 13. You wouldn't believe how many people told us we couldn't do this. Cos we had no experience. Cods wallop, you can do anything you set your mind to. I'm 75 now, I was 37 when we did this. There was no internet to see how to do something, it was off to the library. Forget the negative comments, you are inspirational. You make me want to do it all again.
I'm a finish Carpenter now over 25 years I should be asleep its 5am haha but I stayed up to watch you guys I throughly enjoyed watching you create your magnificent cabin Best wishes, a tribal member I hope to build one , one day Best wishes Patrick
It's a cabin in the woods, who cares about code... I've watched them build the entire thing, and to be honest, I'm impressed with what they were able to accomplish. and nothing they have done seems SO dangerous or SO wrong as to warn everyone not to do what they did. Wish I had the land, and resources to do something like this, and I'm thinking "captain contrary" is just being negative out of pure jealousy. I for one think it's awesome what you guys did/are doing, and just want to let you know, me, and many others, are on your side. haters are gonna hate. Keep up the good hard work guys, don't let the negativity of some TH-cam comments get you down.
I actually thought it was very ironic that someone made that comment cuz my very first impression when I watched them build the walls was "these guys must be framers"
That's what I thought. Who cares about code. It's private land. It's not like they're living in it full time. It's basically like a hunters cabin. Your always going to have crappie people throwing out their negative comments. I wouldn't even address them because then your feeding into their nonsense. If they don't like what your doing, they don't need to watch. I don't like hunting, but I'm not going to criticize him for hunting. I just don't watch those episodes. Real simple. Keep doing what you do guys!
While I have viewed your channel for a longtime, I had never joined. As of today I have subscribed because of your positive message and I support that message. In my youth I built 3 log cabins in the woods that when once was discovered were torn down, watching what you do brings back those memories of happy times. Keep doing what you are doing, because I appreciate it. Thank you.
I'm a construction site carpenter in the UK, your work on this cabin is absolutely awesome and inspirational, it's going to be there for a very long time. Thank you for sharing
For all the people who gave you guys negative criticism: Everyone is entitled to an opinion , heres mine. This was a 4 hour video, longest TH-cam video I have ever watched. In the entire 4 hrs, I watched kids be kids outdoors without ANY FREAKIN ELECTRONICS!!! There is nothing wrong with the way this cabin was built. The cabin was built to get family together in the outdoors, so weather or not its built to code, has sufficient moisture barriers or any other imperfections sought out by critics, the cabin is and will keep serving its purpose. I enjoy watching yall videos, keep up the good work!!! Besides, if something does fail, it'll just make for another great video on the repair and more time for those kids outdoors.
right. here in FL canes will blow that thing straight away, for example. they're using nails and screws to hold this thing together. so what? they're relying on those 6 x 6 not settling. that would not work in FL either! but up there that's probably gonna be fine. for bearing I would use that plastic stuff but hey these guys are using what's available. of course that's not code. as stated, so what! and they know what kinda saws to use.. Makita's the absolute BEST power tools on the planet. those things just keep on working! I own a 7 1/4" Makita that cost $113 55 years ago. they still cost $113! and mine is still going after cutting MILES of rips. MILES! I put ONE set of brushes in it. A Makita saw does one other thing that not many saws do... they blow the chad clear of your cut line.
Can’t imagine how hard it was to build a cabin alone with just an ax pre-gasoline tools. Wonderful to use on-site dead trees. Love the live edge beams and red roof. Well done!
I watched it all😁😁😁 1915 My grandparents build a cabin in the wildness of east Kentucky. No codes, no inspector, no coalition for cabin building safety association. They did it with the help and support of people around them so it was right for them, in their moment. They raised and fed 9 kids in that cabin, my mother being the 4th of 9. I grew up with the stories of how my grandmother wished the ceiling under the loft was higher because she would bust her knuckles when she shook the sheets. My grandfather said he would probably have built closer to the water. But ya’ know, I never heard one of my uncles or aunts complain. They always spoke of their cabin memories with childlike fondness. Story’s laughing by the fire and the hunt for the crafty raccoon that kept stealing their eggs. The point being, every word is part of the wonderful story that is unique to my fore-bearers, words that have been woven into the tapestry of my life. Those storylines of their ‘cabin in the woods’ are the threads that I count as my greatest treasure on earth. Thanks guys and keep up the great work. I enjoyed it very much.
It's great to see a Canadian perspective. I always dreamed of building a cabin, but after watching the hard work and power that goes in to it - think I'd better just park in my bus instead. Loved the series and really looking forward to watching as you finish the project. Cheers
Loved watching this! To answer your question, if you cut the trees so they fall on the diagonal, instead of in line with all the other trees, you'd have a clear path for them to fall every time. I think that's what they were thinking when they planted all the trees in a row like that.
Love what you guys have done here, i am a certified building inspector and what you have done here is not totally out of the norm. For what you are going to be using this cabin for, you are well within the perimeters of longevity. Don't let the haters dig you down but I do like the fact that your doing your best to reply to comments. Doing your best to reply to legitimate comments can be a challenge. I would only suggest one thing: I would treating any end grain lumber that is exposed to the elements to some type of retardant. Maybe waxing or sealing your rafters to keep the wicking down to a minimum. Anywhere to keep the natural grain of the wood from drawing in moisture to prevent wood rot. Without fascia boards, you will tend to find mold and dry rot from traveling up your rafter boards. Other than that, great looking cabin to call your own, i am jealous that I don't have the freedom to do this myself...
Nobodys hating but people that want to learn shouldn't be taught to do things the wrong way and constructive criticism is in order if you can't take it stay on the porch a building inspector? you should go get your money back I've never failed an inspection in my life and I've done all phases of construction my dad taught me that I'm the inspector, I've seen a lot of Old-Timers work and they would use tar paper and Flash the windows and they wouldn't ever have earth to wood contact.
@Gangster of Love it's okay warps and shrinks a lot especially on a deck really good carpenters will use kiln-dried lumber it keeps your Walls and layout straight, that house is like a moisture wick and humidity inside will grow mold faster
Thank you for including the kids' build! I loved making snow forts when I was little, but always had help from the school's plow haha :) Shelter is shelter and all education is good!
I just wanted to say that I think it was wonderful that you were able to repurpose the wood from Ash trees. I work in Public Works in my town and I can tell you we lost close to 11,000 trees to the Ash Borer beetle. I think you guys did a beautiful job building this cabin!
So nice to see some good dads out, logging, milling and building with their kids out and about in the winter :) I'm really impressed with your response to haters, you're so right, not a tribe member! Love from BC (a Kitwanga Native)
I really enjoyed the full 3 hours, 57 minutes and 49 seconds of this video... And what a great result as is stands. Looking forward to seeing what insulation you used in the roof and what the rest of the cabin will be like... One thing though (I am a chef so I am a bit biased) I would put the stove on some sort of a pedestal to raise it to a kitchen counter kind of height... Also I would place the kitchenette more near the stove... The pedestal can be used to store some firewood... And maybe a crazy idea: Get and old fridge, have the refrigerant removed, remove the compressor and the pipes and build it flush into the floor as a sort of cooler/dry storage/miniature cellar...
You can still buy new old school cook stoves circa 1865 design time frame. Being a chef I would highly recommend when you build your cabin buy a new or look for a yard sale stove. My best friend is also a chef and built himself a cabin 20x40 foot built by professional carpenters, electricians ( solar ) and plumbers fresh water stream from high up on his property and I found at a yard sale an original wood fired kitchen stove complete with oven and warming bins above the stove NOS dated 1874! The look on his face when I delivered it in what remained of the original crate was priceless! His grandmother who God bless her was 87 took one look at it and said it's identical to what I had as my first stove when I first got married. She directed its setup as the original setup manual was long gone. She then taught him how to cook in it. First fire, evacuated the house due to the oil burning off the stove. Ow do you cook breakfast with four pieces of wood in the firebox? He said impossible, she showed him how. He now loves it as does his wife. They discovered the could add a water tank to the back of the stove for hot water out of a spigot attached to the water tank unpressurized. There sitting on 150 acres of virgin timber which is their income harvesting 15 acres a year. Tell the operator of the Kurosawa to raise the rollover protection behind the seat. Nothing worse than being pinned under an overturned tractor when you realize you were dumb as a box of rocks by not extending the rollover protection that might have saved your life. I saw a guy kill himself when it overturned and he hadn't extended the rollover protection, he was 26 when he died no bs.
Man... The Bearded Woodsman is a freaking awesome narrator... His brother did a hell of a job building this cabin... Great work... Free lumber? I love it...
I love the cabin. I've lived in the mountains all my life and all of my cousins pitched in to help build each other's cabin's. You did an awesome job and you and the boys had fun doing it. Great job
I enjoyed this video so much I didn’t realize that I’ve been watching it for almost 4 hours. I love you guys, and I love what you’ve done together as a family and friends. My only complaint is that I don’t have you guys as friends, to share in the accomplishments and happiness you enjoy together. Be well and continue the great work.
I think what you have built is amazing. I love your gentle delivery from the very beginning. I do not have the skills to build a cabin, and I love watching these types of shows. You’re awesome!
This is so relaxing to watch. I love the sounds of a job site. My dad is a carpenter. I have memories being with him on site, smelling the wood, hearing the sounds and watching something Beautiful come up by his hands. Great video!!
I would love to see an update of how it's holding up and what changes have been made. This little cabin looks like an amazing get away or home for someone that doesn't need a lot to be happy. I love the project and would love to do something like this one day.
I used to manage a shop and had an older guy who had built 3 houses from scratch and was doing an add on fir his home. He talked about how ridiculous some of the requirements were now. For example couldn't put in the same outlets as the rest of the house, they had to be 3prong for the NEXT person that owned the home... just do what you do and enjoy!
Watched your cabin build. Love it! Now gotta build outhouse. Would love to live there. It’s beautiful there. The kids are adorable. I’m 66 and miss those days of sledding and playing in the snow. You guys rock!
I just want to say, having just finished watching the video now. (It's taken 2 days because of work.) This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I've ever seen on TH-cam. PLEASE keep doing what you do. Subscribed. I aspire to one day be able to emulate this or something like this. Top notch job all the way around.
This is great! And you guys get along like a mixture of the cast of Saturday Night Live with This Old House mixed in. I'm 68 and still have a dream of building my 16 x 20 log cabin in the woods, way off-grid, where I can live out my years like the hermit I want to be.
I'm glad your not letting the haters hate.That Cabin in work of art and overbuilt if anything, witch is a good thing!! Love what yall do,keep it up please
hey dude i am a builder for 26 years in england ,,, you have done well, i get some ideas from you guys which never comes to my mind, thank you for that enjoy the cabin in the summertime
4 hrs worth of how to build a tiny cabin in the snow country. Very educational. That tiny skillet for Kevin's egg sandwich was perfect. Didn't realize that Suzukis are snow cars.
❤ my husband and I seriously enjoy your channel, watching the both of you , reminds us of our son’s. You are an inspiration to so so many! Haters are going to hate regardless to what you do. I’m glad you burned them up! That’s the only time I will mention them. We are disabled, I have to add you have inspired us to try and build a little something on here. Love watching the children, your patience and tone of voice is heart warming ❤ Prayers for you and families, Awesome job guy’s!!
Great work! The cabin looks amazing! I really like the way you built the door and the window frames . I don’t know what some people say in the comments but I’m a carpenter with 23 years of experience and I find your work very impressive.
Hello! I am a 65-year-old Canadian man, living in the big city of Toronto. I am envious of your project, excellent job guys. I’ve being in Construction for 45+ years, basically my whole life, I’ve recently retired less than a year ago and had the opportunity to watch your video, entitled “BUILDING a Small Cabin in the WOODS (COMPLETE BUILD)”, I guess some people can’t see the rational aspect of your build, like you mentioned in very beginning of the video, you are doing this like your forefathers would have done. However, even my own great-grand-father on my mother’s side, build a house back in the day, which I had the opportunity to visit with my uncle 30 years ago. I will attest that that in your case, your Cabin is equal or better and surely more structurally sound, compared to what my great-grand-fathers had built back in the days. Let’s not forget, it is a cabin and not a house you are building. Like the old saying says, What's good for the goose is good for the gander, you are a couple of fun guys having a good time building a CABIN IN THE WOODS, just a place where you can escape to, away from the burden of the town or city life, just a place where you can chillout and have fun, be proud of what you have done and enjoy it, hopefully for many years to come. 🙂
Absolutelyyyy, I've only watched some of @TheWoodedBeardsman videos. But most people aren't watching because we are going to go out and build this cabin. Some maybe, but I enjoy learning how someone else would while also getting to enjoy 'just some guys living in the woods' the banter, the thoughts, the energy bars for on the go (better if not frozen solid). If people's comments & critique's can add or help your build or content then I can see bringing it in. But If it's taking away from you enjoying YOUR build, Life or Content for the sake of the few's need to tell people ''How It's Done!'' Then I could live without it not being ''a perfect build'', personally. I would rather see you & your people enjoying yourselves chopping up some brush & burning some hot dogs over addressing this & that. There's some 'Science' out their that says it takes 10 or 100 good comments to forget or make up for the 1 💩 comment.....SOOO don't read any or your screwed 😂 cus the unhappy make the most noise! AND escape the woods 😁
I love your channel and I'm following you on your cabin in the woods but what I love most is you and your brother are very funny and you guys are very talented, wish I was their to help out I'm 68 yrs old and I'm a fan.
TH-cam transitioned me to this when the rain video ended. I love your build. I helped my brother build a 16x32 cabin /shelter ( yes, code inspectors were involved) and quite frankly, code forced the use of hurricane clips... when we don't get those types of winds in this area. In your video, I saw the type of construction our pioneering ancestors would use. Building codes were put in place to protect us from sloppy contractors. People with knowledge and skills are perfectly capable of building their own safe shelter. You have what it takes.
Love what you're doing, remember people that post negative stuff.....thats all they do, they aren't members of any communities at all. Their life consists of trolling on youtube, ignore them, they aren't real people. You built a cool cabin, and gave out tons of good technical info....great stuff I just subbed. Keep up the good work! I'm stuck in Chicago, I love watching this stuff!
Wrong...in my case, I'm well educated in the trades having spent a lifetime building...my goal in pointing out the deficits is so that people like YOU who think this is a 'community' activity don't get burned by using faulty methods. Not to be a kill joy. This could very well be a great job with a few changes in technique. Us old guys have been around and seen what happens over time...it isn't pretty. Comfort, health and safety should always be the end goal. I like the appearance too....no negativity there...but do it right so it lasts. Now if that's negativity...well guess you're okay with mediocrity.
The Wooded Beardsman I love your channel. I noticed that when the posts were dug in a placed no concrete was used. Are there other safety processions used in case of mudslides or just earth erosion?.
In 24H, can you then post how much percent of people completely watched the video from start to finish? I’ve always wondered how many in such a long vid
Wow - I'm blown away, what an epic, fantastic rustic off-grid cabin build. Thanks for videoing, editing and posting this for our pleasure. Between you guys, Shawn James and TA Outdoors I'm in video heaven. Looking forward to chapter 2. Best regards, Lloyd C. in Texas
I just started watching your show. This is so amazing and I am truly envious. Apparently the negative viewers have no appreciation for what is all involved and your hard work in the extreme cold. Please keep up your vision and add more videos. Thank you, Daniel.
I absolutely love all the cross sections of the wood. Such beautiful patterns no human can create. You need to build more things cause it's not just fun watching you guys, it's also very relaxing! Your meal and coffee looked delicious! Didn't matter what way you made any of it! Thanks for sharing.
Hello from central Georgia. Your right. I wouldn't even acknowledge the negative haters. I think the cabin is awesome. And I've really enjoyed watching it as it's come together. You guys rock. Stay POSSITIVE. Ray R. Warner Robins Georgia.
This is the first time I've seen your channel and I love it! Your cabin looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to looking at the inside build later today. Life isn't always perfect but the reality is that we have the ability to see the good instead of the bad, and the ability to learn from our experience. You seem like a very kind and generous person, and I know you will grow your channel and continue enjoying your life and your friends.
I ran a couple of 12" duct pipes from the ridge to the underside of my cabin. In the winter I run a fan to push the hot air down and let it rise through the floor. This makes a huge difference. In the summer we take the skirting panels off and the air naturally rises from the cooler ground, out the upper windows. BUT, the verry best addition was the rocket mass heater. We even made a cobb bench. One last stoking of the heater before bedding down and it is still warm in the morning. Love your build!
I think what you guys have done is fantastic. If that one guy doesn't like what you're doing then that's his problem. I think what you have built is great. I live in the midwest USA, and I wish I had the tools and skill to do what you have done. Keep up the Great work.
We didn’t subscribe to read the negative comments that negative people write. We signed up to view how you and Kevin hunt, trap, fish, build and survive in the outdoors. Great watching!
Thank you for sharing this project build !! Looks very rustic and heart warming! I would love to have the time to build my step daughter some thing like your cabin ! Once again the effort you took to share this with the world , is appreciated!!
I've been around builders all my life, especially not having a lot of money to do it. Everything you're doing is what I've seen hundreds of times. I wish I could stay in it, it's beautiful. And Lena was the frosting on the cake! The quinzee was a great memory for me!
Watching TH-cam is totally voluntary. You have the ability to watch or not watch. It is entirely up to you. I, for one, find this channel so interesting and have been glued to the screen. Keep it up. I like it and I subscribed.
This full episode was a great idea, I myself have watched all the single episodes of the cabin build and pretty much every episode you have ever published, but seeing it all in one go is great because it gives a person a chance to see what they may of missed in the past, I also want to say Thanks a lot for putting your many adventures out for the internet to see! Your adventures have inspired me in many facets of my own life. :)
I wish I could be around people like you guys. I've enjoyed watching. Keep up the great work. Plus you're teaching children to be blessed with that skill. Plus how to love and respect nature. God bless all of you.
How do you plan using this, please? For weekend relaxing? Hunting? ??? I have been very impressed at how well you two brothers work so peacefully together. So refreshing! I love youtube as a great alternative to boring tv! Thank you for showing the entire build. I subscribed to see the interior come about. /// I guess this wouldn't work for your cabin, but I once saw where shelving was installed between studs. They're already in place and sturdy for any weight that might be introduced. But I know you need insulation there, of course. I look forward to phase two. God bless all of you and keep you safe. : )
The weird thing is that 200 years ago this was just totally normal behaviour and you wouldnt be able to brag about it to anyone because they had also all built their own houses, nowadays building your own house is one of the most impressive things someone can do.
I mean yes and no, in city areas there would be people who are hired to build houses but in towns people would make their own houses but they would probably have help. The 1800s were kind of the dawn of modern society.
I concur! 200 years ago, Doctors were known by todays standards as "quacks". GENERALLY, they allowed the body to heal naturally by the 8 natural laws of health (nutrition, exercise, fresh water, sunlight, temperance, fresh air, proper rest, trust in God). Plus, they used medicines found in nature in herbs and various plant life. Isaiah 65:21 says we will be building homes in Heaven and planting our own crops. Sure, if we are saved, we will have 1000's of years to understand how to build a nice home. But, wouldn't it be nice to get a jump start on it today... in this life. Just like building the character God desires from each of us. Maranatha! :)
You have the differences they would have done it right and that put 6x6 timbers four feet into the ground without boulders around it LOL the things going to be on the ground in a couple of years
Correction two and a half feet deep LOL I just saw them drop one in after I made that comment. You don't have to use cement but you do have to dig deeper and you do have to use boulders or that shit's going to go everywhere
Thanks for your videos. To Be fair, it seems like you guys try to Do the best things possible without having to Break the Bank or live with Budgets...I love that you've been able to Build a Bunch of things on your property. The main thing that I have been able to notice...you usually always enjoy the journey...who cares about what you use for materials..store Bought or cut it down and mill it. I just love it...thanks for the smiles you and your friends and family have brought to my viewing pleasure...thanks...and keep up the good work.
I enjoyed this! I like how you re-used/purposed so many things! I also appreciate how you explain what wood you used, why you used it, etc. I am looking forward to seeing more!
Love this video I see The second one is up will watch it while I am tending my garden fascinating I’d rather watch something like this that was so interesting and pacing was awesome then a lot of the there I said crap that’s on TV today thank you I am excited to find something new on TH-cam to add to all the other things that I watch thank you and please do not be discouraged by the naysayers I live in Southwest Florida and Garden naturally I’ve had to do a lot of testing that some people thought were weird some work some do not I am having Greatf success with my garden this year and yes when we said I saw you digging I was laughing hard to make the land here they pulled out sand and rocks from quarry all over to build up the land so digging is a nightmare I garden raised beds because of the poor soil quality
This is my dream cabin and the one cabin I will use as an example to build my own cabin. Thank You for sharing all this knowledge! Thank You for not listening to the haters. I appreciate you all and Love You all so much! Great family!

I feel you're doing great. I was born and raised and still live in Alaska. The negative judgemental people making negative comments. They live in rural cities where building codes and inspectors exist.
Keep teaching and sharing your doing great. 🎉.

I’ve been watching this video straight thru now over 3 hours!!! I’m a professional contractor and have been for over 30 years. Please ignore whoever these idiots are that are being so overly critical of every little detail. They don’t understand what your trying to accomplish or for that matter what you have already accomplished. Ignore the haters and live ur life style!! Be proud of what you have built bc you have done a great job. And if some of these so called “experts” are critical of whether or not every facet of your build doesn’t meet code then tell them to unsubscribe!! If they can’t offer any constructive criticism or ideas then they are useless. Great job!!! Live your life brother!!
Please dont answer questions from this person ..they probably couldn't build a rabbit box..
@@barbarasteed3966.
OH, for the days when you could get a "Magic Decoder Ring" in your breakfast cereal box!
@@barbarasteed3966 What are you talking about? He is EXACTLY right (Carlos Cardona)...weakness hates strength, and the unsuccessful will always envy the successful!!!
I know im here almost 2 years later, but my question is this: They are in the middle of the damn wilderness, WHAT codes could possibly be enforced in any case? Just build and ignore.
Im a carpenter 40 years now and this has been my dream for just about as long. You guys did great and inspired me, time to find my land.
me too boss lets do it together hahah
I thought I knew a lot about tools, but the power tool I see being used to attach the shakes I don't know what it is or what kind of fastener it is. Can you please explane more about that tool? Thanks
@@lynncoover930 yeah the one which had 2 light in it....i alos want to know.
@@lynncoover930 If you're talking about the tool being used at 2:58:52, it's a pin gun or tack gun like a nail gun but fires pins or tacks.
Your dream was to make a cabin out of more mold than wood?
I watched the 3+ hour first and second season at one stretch. What can I say, I work at home. I am a State Construction Plan reviewer in the U.S. and a former licensed contractor. I just watched the scene about the criticizes. This what I have to say about it. This is a building on private property that in not intended for permanent occupation. It is technically not conditioned, even though there is wood heat and insulation. I would not get heartburn about not following the Residential Code because it is not a residence. It is a recreational shelter. There were a couple things I might have done differently but overall I liked the show, I liked the commentary and I love the little cabin. Some people like to complain to make themselves seem important. Just remember this! They are wrong. I just subscribed and will keep watching. Thank You.
I agree Dee. I think the framing was done correctly. The roof is a nice touch and the cedar shakes also. It is also, not completely finished. Complainers are the ones who probably do not know the difference from a header and a footer...or a 10p nail from a thumb tack.
I would definitely use this on a atv trail camping cabin specially during brutal temps. There is always a group of negative people in the world and thats ok. Their negativity inspires most to continue doing what makes them happy not what makes the haters happy. And most of the haters practically don't do anything themselves so they are judgmental of others happy places. I myself would do the exact same thing these guys have done because ive watched Amish builders do the exact same thing these guys are doing its all old school old tech that has lasted for quite some time. And Amish builders I would prefer them to work on my home because id trust them as for structure being stable to last for years. I 100% support these guys and frankly if I lived near these guys I would be there to assist them on completing this project. Help and encourage everyone and most of all be happy while doing it.
It’s easy to learn something by following the experience of others. If that’s why one watches TH-cam, there are several things to leant here. Some things shouldn’t be repeated, but I applaud the guys for getting off the couch and giving it a go. Would be great to see them do a COE on what they would’ve done differently. A rough plan and a few hours of forethought and discussion would’ve been well worth it.
Right on!
@thirdpaclugh
10 penny is 10D not 10P
DO NOT LET JEALOUS PEOPLE BOTHER YOU. YOU GUYS HAVE BUILT A MIRACLE CABIN FROM SCRATCH GREAT JOB GUYS!!
Absolutely 💯
And oh what adventures will be remembered there! The building of the cabin, the friendships, sharing, hunting, childhood memories for the kids. Simply amazing!
My husband died from cancer in 2006. He worked and "played" in the outdoors all of his life. Did tree work with asplundh tree company using a climbing crew as a foreman for many years. He surface hunted for native American artifacts all of his life once he left the Navy in 1972. He was a really good man. He never got the chance watch all of these types of outdoors channels, but he would have enjoyed them a great deal. I feel that I am sort of watching for both of us. He would have had a lot to say to people with nothing positive to say about anything that people do while they (as far as we know) sit around not doing anything but complain and try to put people down. I'm sure not all of it could be put on the comments section? We all as a country need to avoid the negative people and concentrate on lifting up the productive ones! Just keep on being you and the ones that matter will keep on watching! Hope you all have a Happy New year! 🤗
thats very a very beautiful and sweet thought. I am sorry for your loss. sounds like he was an awesome person. bless you and thanks for the positivity.
Sorry about your lost🙏 imagine if we never left this passing times,? This world would be nothing but an old old timers tent.and we all we had to lessen to hou it was in the days. And we all end up in ther hand of mercy. Peace stay safe🙏
Sorry iforgot my dad was this way. What I did was put cotton balls in both my ears because of my long hair he never knew I could hear him hardly but iamsure he sounded why I stay to leading to him complain and bucket on and on.peace🙏
@@mariadaigle837 my husband was a really good man, he had a long list of experiences and accomplishments. He had some interesting opinions about a lot of things and had a lot of friends that were there for both of us for a lot of years. Some of his negative comments about a few people were well earned and just about always dead on target 😏🤟.
You are a very sincere person Carolyn your husband would be proud of you.
Everyone that is reacting negatively are totally missing the point. What I see is a father, sons and friends working hard, enjoying the outdoors and enjoying each other’s company. The time spent with my parents and siblings camping, fishing and hunting are some of the most memorable of my life. They built a cabin but the memories they created will last a lifetime and will give comfort when needed. Good job guys. 👍
theres is not 1 goddamn thing wrong in thisd whole video. just family and friends working and hanging out with each other. his little niece at the endf was adorable

Well said. Bravo
Jealousy and attention seeking is all it is
Spot on Murray. I add that I am envious of you - I had very few of those memories.
Rewatching this 5 years later. This series is what brought me to the woodedbeardsman. And then onto Kevin’s channel and I watch pretty much all of Kevin’s builds and most of your adventures.
Side note. Watching both Holden and Lina on the channels 5 years later you and your family’s have raised children to be proud of. Confident and polite.
I am a registered architect and yes, there were a few giveaways on the amount of experience this crew brought to the project. Yes, there were a few things I would do different. But I can also say that there is nothing greater than forging ahead and completing an original piece of art work that provides one of the three pillars of human survival. Sometimes the best original design work comes from the untrained hand. Once we learn how everyone else builds, we have begun the process of herd mentality and creative corruption. Keep up the good work. You are making something real and that can never be taken away from you guys.
You're an architect. You don't build anything. You work in an office.
Hope your smarter than ?????
Yes I agree they are doing a great job all but not pouring cement for the poles they put in the ground...I had just seen another cabin being build by a guy & his wife and the purchased some cement disk to put in the holes before he put the poles in the ground , but I've seen my day add gravel & cement to things he would put in the ground making a fence.....before & after adding the poles....and I don't remember one ever coming out of a hole.....lol
The only thing an architect brings to a construction site is complications. Stay at the office
I've built houses for 30 years and not once have I seen the architect come out and swing a hammer. You are designers, not builders.
My dad used to take me to help him do side jobs. He would call me lightning boy... because my hammer never struck the same place twice. Love you dad ❤️
lol
hahahahaha thats awesome
lol! Miss my Dad. Loved the video. Had some Osha issues with Kevins egg McMuffin tho...
That is so cracking funny! God bless your dad, he has a good sense of humor.
That's very funny, never heard that one before. Hope you got better. :)
I love that y'all aren't some "overly rugged" tough guys - y'all are just regular dudes that like the outdoors. Keep up the great videos! Makes me want to sell everything and go live in the woods
As opposed to what? Sounds like you have preconceived notions about these things. What's a "tough guy" by your definition. Trust me, almost no man that does this type of stuff is some weak soyboy.
Congratulations man for being cancer free and for living the way you are. There's so many people me including that would love to live the way you are offgrid in a absolutely gorgeous cabin and i myself was raised with an outhouse and would like to have one again
CANNOT YOU JUT PAINT THE ROOF ONE COLOR AT A LATER TIME.
DAMN, THAT WORK LOOKS TOUGH. HIND SIGHT IS PERFECT, BUT OTHER BUILDS I'VE SEEN MADE SURE THEY GOT THE ROOF ON ONCE THE RAFTERS WERE IN SO AS TO BEAT THE WINTER SNOW. I'VE XWAT HED SEVERAL OF THESE BUILDS. YOU ALL JUST GRAB MY ATTENTION
Hi! I’m a 74 year old woman and I spent the whole day watching this cabin build. I love it!!!! Makes me wish I was a young woman again and could do great things like this. Love the kids playing also!!!! They will remember it forever!
74 is like 54 these days. Even the fact that you are using the Internet and sharing your perspective so eloquently is very different to 74 year olds from a century ago. I wonder what you could build - if only in your mind! I think you'd be surprised!
@@mrdavidurquhart I am impressed with them my nans 60 and she barely knows how to use the bluddy microwave

Same. Here, I am - living in a bungalow, in West Midlands, UK. There's no way - currently - that I can build a cabin.
In truth, I have only come as far that I am going to purchase a rotary sawer.

@@chriscash5350 yoo quote of the day bro
Being in Construction for almost 25 years, im sure there were small (if any) corners cut. But i haven't heard anyone say "well, it's just a cabin in the woods, so...." Much respect for all of you. I've been binge watching all of your videos, and will be disappointed when it come to an end. But i am a subscriber, and a huge fan of all of you. Chris- Maine, USA.
Hello guys, I am in the United States, and I have just found yall. I grew up in the mountains. So, I have this to say about this house. There are many homeless that would love to live in that cabin. I feel that your group is perfectly teaching and showing so many people how to fend for themselves. All of those who speak against this are the ones who would never be able to survive in the wilderness because nothing is up to CODE . I plan to continue to watch, I love this.
The entire purpose of it is to build with what you have. So many people can’t do that sadly. General construction knowledge is such a good thing to have too.
@@jameshersom2536 Totally agree and in addition to that many people rely on grocery stores for their food. Home economics needs to be added back to our schools. Teach the future how to grow and preserve food that doesn't require refrigeration and many other basic self-sufficient skills like cooking, sewing, etc. Schools have done away with woodwork and auto shop as well and in turn are only focusing on only social media and tech skills.
I love the ritual burning of the unconstructive comments, lol. My uncle built a cabin the lasted 52 years. some of the best built structures were built with a good eye and a strong back. Congratulations on the build!
yes
Just watching you interacting with your children has convinced me that you are a loving and caring person. I've always watched your brothers channel and enjoyed it very much. I'm very impressed with your channel as well. Keep doing what you're doing because it is positive and I enjoy it very much. Thank you.
I actually watched this from start to finish of the exterior. Will be watching the outhouse build. I am 56 years old and have been in construction since I was a 6 y.o. helping my father. I am a journeyman carpenter, 30+ years in the United States of America. I think you guys did a great job. Enjoyed watching! Haters will always be Haters. They are unhappy people who want to make everyone as unhappy as they are. Don't let them bring you down. Fun watching you work in Nature.
My father grew up using an outhouse, he often regaled us with stories about the importance of 'laying in wait' in order to assure yourself of a pre-warmed seat...
Also, a sheet of the newspaper on a nail (wiping medium) could also be 'ignited' which admirably acted as an air freshener.
'Aloe Vera' was just a pleasantry voiced to someone called Vera back in the day.
Idk you personally, but you guys just look so chill to talk with and watching you build these huts is almost like a therapeutic experience. I could be watching these for hours. Seriously, thank you for making these videos, it's truly a pleasure to watch ❤️
Well said!
LoTS OF PEOPLE ARE KEYIN IN ON YOR BUILDS THUREPUTIC VALUE. ME TOO.
FOR ME,,IT IS 2 A. M.,AND THERE IS NO OTHER NOISE IN THE HOUSE BUT YOU GUYS. I DONT HAVE OTHER PEOPLE, PETS, TVS, NOT EVEN A CLOCK. THERE IS NO OTHER NOISE BUT YOU GUYS,,,,,,,SO KEEP BUILDING. I"M WATCHIN"
YOU GUYS ARE MAKIN" VERY GOOD PROGRESS. I"M WATCHIN" EVERY NAIL. I THINK THAT FOREST WAS PLANTED ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO. I DO THAT SORT OF THINGSTAND AROUND AND WATCH THE FOREST GROW. KEEP BUILDIN". I'M WATCHIN"
HEY, THAT CHERRY TREE LOOKS TO BE 1OO YEARS OLD. THAT SHOULD BE A KEEPER. I HATE IT WHEN THE OLDEST THINGS 8N THE FOREST HAS TO BE CUT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF H7MAN ACTIVITY. DAMN, COULD NOT THE CHERRY TREE HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE SCENERY.
I DO LIKE TH WAY THAT YOU TAKE THE RECYCLED LUMBER DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FOREST AND INTO YOU CABIN. I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE USE OF PORTABLE SAWS.
In 70 years; I've seen my share of slip-shod carpentry, but this cabin in the woods you and your brother have built, ain't it, and something I would be proud to say that I had done. My dad was a carpenter, and taught me all he could in my youth. Despite my rebellious nature, I gained enough experience to keep me from having to pay someone else for any carpentry projects I've tackled over the years. Your excellent video brought back memories of me constructing a workshop of similar dimensions on my own, about 30 yrs ago. I surely could've used a hand a time or two, but, will never forget my sense of pride when completed. Nothing wrong with a 4hr video that's as entertaining as yours. I'm looking forward to watching season two, and enjoying catching up on the other videos as well. Thanks.
i stumbled across this and was completely riveted to this the entire way through
Same here!
Same here.
That’s exactly what happened to me! I have no idea how I arrived here, but so glad I did.
I would rather watch this video than any new Star Wars movie except for "Rogue One".
I’ve got to echo all these statements. Exactly how I showed up.
Incidentally, can Lena get any cuter?! She cracks me up!
I spent all day watching you all and I absolutely love what you’re doing. I have no interest in doing this myself (maybe when my husband and I were younger… Ha) but watching you do this from scratch was one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen! I’m a 77-year-old grandmother and watching you young people do what you did is something that reminded me and brought to mind what the settlers went through when they established our country. (I live in Tennessee). God bless you young men. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Your strength and endurance was amazing to me and I am so glad I “ stumbled” onto your channel. I will follow you and hope you do another season. I am looking forward to it.

"This is truly the most heartwarming and genuine thing I've ever witnessed. Many people don't realize that before bureaucracy and regulations, it was simply about living within one's means. For young individuals just starting out, this often feels unattainable. However, what you’re doing offers hope, especially since many believe they will never be able to afford their own homes in this economy. You’re proving the skeptics wrong!
Let the pessimists construct their lives on shaky foundations, while you continue to build yours strong and secure. :)"
Im an engineer, Developer/contractor Im 56 at this writing, and have been retired officially since 2009. I am because I can. That said, any buffoon giving you grief over building technique, procedure or lastly, mold, they are apparently the short bus crowd who never built, wired or plumbed ANYTHING in their lives. It's a cabin, not your permanent residence. I have seen a lot more in the wilds of Alaska that weren't built as well and were done 130 years ago or more...still standing and still used on occasion by the hunter or outdoor enthusiast. I love the video, think your approach was commendable and the dog helped ALOT! Continue burning the comments from the retards that want to split hair instead of wood, and you all keep the varmint population manageable while enjoying that excellent work of art out in the woods.
haha retired because you can? You're miserable because your life is over...
@@abg125 You dont know how true that is...but I stay busy building. And im not short on offers to consult. But retirement isnt really the definition...MORE TIRED is really whats happened. Especially as I have gotten closer to traditional retirement age, only 4 years out now.
@@abg125 You evidently do not know how to talk to anyone. It is none of your business if this man is retired or not. Retirement is simply a word the bureaucrats put on someone who feels they are ready to take it easy and can handle it. I am 76 years old, have never got to where I said I am retiring now. Yet, I have taken on my SS because I paid it into that fund which is not the government, yet they spend it, It is the workers, Now if I choose to work, I can, and it does no harm. So, why don't you back off and either find another place or speak with intelligence? B|
you said Exactly what I was going to say . about thoses buffoon lol Thanks :)
Although people talking badly about someone’s forging is usually a good craftsman giving constructive criticism
My grandpa built 4 houses and 1 log cabin in the mountains of Virginia and the only power tools he had was an old sawmill that ran off an old 4 cylinder engine of some type . This video reminded me of him and I enjoyed it very much , thanks for posting the video .
This is officially the longest video I've ever watched on TH-cam. And it was absolutely fantastic! Watching the entire build was great. Great content, earned you a sub.
Me too, I seen the length and tough no way, I couldn’t stop watching great channel also another sub.
Me too..and I've watched it several times to make sure I didn't miss anything
@@LadyBlueRR lets say i want to build a cabin like this next door to red beard. Do you think he will suck me after some stew?
Once watch a guy names pedguin play a game called terraria a few years back for 24 hours
There a video thats four hour like much more longer than this video, i also watched this on my old account
Imagine how many people would love this cabin for a home.
Having built my own conventional homes together with my hubby and 4 kids, 8 to 13. You wouldn't believe how many people told us we couldn't do this. Cos we had no experience.
Cods wallop, you can do anything you set your mind to. I'm 75 now, I was 37 when we did this. There was no internet to see how to do something, it was off to the library.
Forget the negative comments, you are inspirational. You make me want to do it all again.
I'm a finish Carpenter now over 25 years
I should be asleep its 5am haha but I stayed up to watch you guys
I throughly enjoyed watching you create your magnificent cabin
Best wishes, a tribal member
I hope to build one , one day
Best wishes

It's a cabin in the woods, who cares about code... I've watched them build the entire thing, and to be honest, I'm impressed with what they were able to accomplish. and nothing they have done seems SO dangerous or SO wrong as to warn everyone not to do what they did.
Wish I had the land, and resources to do something like this, and I'm thinking "captain contrary" is just being negative out of pure jealousy. I for one think it's awesome what you guys did/are doing, and just want to let you know, me, and many others, are on your side. haters are gonna hate.
Keep up the good hard work guys, don't let the negativity of some TH-cam comments get you down.
I actually thought it was very ironic that someone made that comment cuz my very first impression when I watched them build the walls was "these guys must be framers"
That's what I thought. Who cares about code. It's private land. It's not like they're living in it full time. It's basically like a hunters cabin. Your always going to have crappie people throwing out their negative comments. I wouldn't even address them because then your feeding into their nonsense. If they don't like what your doing, they don't need to watch. I don't like hunting, but I'm not going to criticize him for hunting. I just don't watch those episodes. Real simple. Keep doing what you do guys!
Forget about the haters. If you're having fun, then let the fun of it lead you. I wish I was part of that project. The haters are just jealous!
While I have viewed your channel for a longtime, I had never joined. As of today I have subscribed because of your positive message and I support that message. In my youth I built 3 log cabins in the woods that when once was discovered were torn down, watching what you do brings back those memories of happy times. Keep doing what you are doing, because I appreciate it. Thank you.
Awe how amazing that you did that in your youth!!! And I'm so sorry goons tore them down.
I'm a construction site carpenter in the UK, your work on this cabin is absolutely awesome and inspirational, it's going to be there for a very long time. Thank you for sharing
Those posts that they cut off and put the cut end in the ground are gunna rot off in about 5 years…… it’s been 4 years now …. Can I git an update ?..
@@brianboe3774 When i build any exterior walls i coat every inch with top grade paint primer
For all the people who gave you guys negative criticism: Everyone is entitled to an opinion , heres mine. This was a 4 hour video, longest TH-cam video I have ever watched. In the entire 4 hrs, I watched kids be kids outdoors without ANY FREAKIN ELECTRONICS!!! There is nothing wrong with the way this cabin was built. The cabin was built to get family together in the outdoors, so weather or not its built to code, has sufficient moisture barriers or any other imperfections sought out by critics, the cabin is and will keep serving its purpose. I enjoy watching yall videos, keep up the good work!!! Besides, if something does fail, it'll just make for another great video on the repair and more time for those kids outdoors.
right. here in FL canes will blow that thing straight away, for example. they're using nails and screws to hold this thing together. so what? they're relying on those 6 x 6 not settling. that would not work in FL either! but up there that's probably gonna be fine. for bearing I would use that plastic stuff but hey these guys are using what's available. of course that's not code. as stated, so what! and they know what kinda saws to use.. Makita's the absolute BEST power tools on the planet. those things just keep on working! I own a 7 1/4" Makita that cost $113 55 years ago. they still cost $113! and mine is still going after cutting MILES of rips. MILES! I put ONE set of brushes in it. A Makita saw does one other thing that not many saws do... they blow the chad clear of your cut line.

Can’t imagine how hard it was to build a cabin alone with just an ax pre-gasoline tools. Wonderful to use on-site dead trees. Love the live edge beams and red roof. Well done!
Also just Wana say your parenting style is amazing and your relationship with you son is wonderful.
It sure helps having a couple of guys that don’t argue much. you guys work super well together. love this cabin build. :-)
I watched it all😁😁😁
1915 My grandparents build a cabin in the wildness of east Kentucky. No codes, no inspector, no coalition for cabin building safety association. They did it with the help and support of people around them so it was right for them, in their moment.
They raised and fed 9 kids in that cabin, my mother being the 4th of 9. I grew up with the stories of how my grandmother wished the ceiling under the loft was higher because she would bust her knuckles when she shook the sheets. My grandfather said he would probably have built closer to the water. But ya’ know, I never heard one of my uncles or aunts complain. They always spoke of their cabin memories with childlike fondness. Story’s laughing by the fire and the hunt for the crafty raccoon that kept stealing their eggs. The point being, every word is part of the wonderful story that is unique to my fore-bearers, words that have been woven into the tapestry of my life. Those storylines of their ‘cabin in the woods’ are the threads that I count as my greatest treasure on earth.
Thanks guys and keep up the great work. I enjoyed it very much.
Gary- you should try your hand at writing a book. You’re a talented writer.
everyone is missing the most impressive aspect of this build and that is the fact that they built this cabin in 4 hours..
do u srsly think they made this in 4hrs or are u just a troll?
@@SharkButtholio (face palm) I was making joke. Jeez guy.
@@SharkButtholio /swoosh
@@SharkButtholio, it's called sarcasm.
Shark Buttholio is the troll-holio
keep the faith. you can't please everybody but a lot of us find it entertaining and informative.
It's great to see a Canadian perspective. I always dreamed of building a cabin, but after watching the hard work and power that goes in to it - think I'd better just park in my bus instead. Loved the series and really looking forward to watching as you finish the project. Cheers
Loved watching this!
To answer your question, if you cut the trees so they fall on the diagonal, instead of in line with all the other trees, you'd have a clear path for them to fall every time. I think that's what they were thinking when they planted all the trees in a row like that.
Love what you guys have done here, i am a certified building inspector and what you have done here is not totally out of the norm. For what you are going to be using this cabin for, you are well within the perimeters of longevity. Don't let the haters dig you down but I do like the fact that your doing your best to reply to comments. Doing your best to reply to legitimate comments can be a challenge. I would only suggest one thing: I would treating any end grain lumber that is exposed to the elements to some type of retardant. Maybe waxing or sealing your rafters to keep the wicking down to a minimum. Anywhere to keep the natural grain of the wood from drawing in moisture to prevent wood rot. Without fascia boards, you will tend to find mold and dry rot from traveling up your rafter boards. Other than that, great looking cabin to call your own, i am jealous that I don't have the freedom to do this myself...
Nobodys hating but people that want to learn shouldn't be taught to do things the wrong way and constructive criticism is in order if you can't take it stay on the porch a building inspector? you should go get your money back I've never failed an inspection in my life and I've done all phases of construction my dad taught me that I'm the inspector, I've seen a lot of Old-Timers work and they would use tar paper and Flash the windows and they wouldn't ever have earth to wood contact.
@Gangster of Love it's okay warps and shrinks a lot especially on a deck really good carpenters will use kiln-dried lumber it keeps your Walls and layout straight, that house is like a moisture wick and humidity inside will grow mold faster
The icing on this video is definitely the adorable children. Please include them in Season 2. Thank you.
Despite the haters, you guys did a great job. It was so cool to see this project come together. Beautiful job!
What haters ? you`re probably talking about the &unt that did this video
Thank you for including the kids' build! I loved making snow forts when I was little, but always had help from the school's plow haha :) Shelter is shelter and all education is good!
I just wanted to say that I think it was wonderful that you were able to repurpose the wood from Ash trees. I work in Public Works in my town and I can tell you we lost close to 11,000 trees to the Ash Borer beetle. I think you guys did a beautiful job building this cabin!
So nice to see some good dads out, logging, milling and building with their kids out and about in the winter :) I'm really impressed with your response to haters, you're so right, not a tribe member! Love from BC (a Kitwanga Native)
The two young lads will remember this all their lives especcially when they are much older. Well done for adding some adventure to their childhood!!!
I really enjoyed the full 3 hours, 57 minutes and 49 seconds of this video... And what a great result as is stands. Looking forward to seeing what insulation you used in the roof and what the rest of the cabin will be like...
One thing though (I am a chef so I am a bit biased) I would put the stove on some sort of a pedestal to raise it to a kitchen counter kind of height... Also I would place the kitchenette more near the stove... The pedestal can be used to store some firewood...
And maybe a crazy idea: Get and old fridge, have the refrigerant removed, remove the compressor and the pipes and build it flush into the floor as a sort of cooler/dry storage/miniature cellar...
You can still buy new old school cook stoves circa 1865 design time frame. Being a chef I would highly recommend when you build your cabin buy a new or look for a yard sale stove. My best friend is also a chef and built himself a cabin 20x40 foot built by professional carpenters, electricians ( solar ) and plumbers fresh water stream from high up on his property and I found at a yard sale an original wood fired kitchen stove complete with oven and warming bins above the stove NOS dated 1874!
The look on his face when I delivered it in what remained of the original crate was priceless! His grandmother who God bless her was 87 took one look at it and said it's identical to what I had as my first stove when I first got married. She directed its setup as the original setup manual was long gone. She then taught him how to cook in it. First fire, evacuated the house due to the oil burning off the stove. Ow do you cook breakfast with four pieces of wood in the firebox? He said impossible, she showed him how. He now loves it as does his wife. They discovered the could add a water tank to the back of the stove for hot water out of a spigot attached to the water tank unpressurized.
There sitting on 150 acres of virgin timber which is their income harvesting 15 acres a year.
Tell the operator of the Kurosawa to raise the rollover protection behind the seat. Nothing worse than being pinned under an overturned tractor when you realize you were dumb as a box of rocks by not extending the rollover protection that might have saved your life. I saw a guy kill himself when it overturned and he hadn't extended the rollover protection, he was 26 when he died no bs.
Man... The Bearded Woodsman is a freaking awesome narrator... His brother did a hell of a job building this cabin... Great work... Free lumber? I love it...
I love the cabin. I've lived in the mountains all my life and all of my cousins pitched in to help build each other's cabin's. You did an awesome job and you and the boys had fun doing it. Great job
I enjoyed this video so much I didn’t realize that I’ve been watching it for almost 4 hours. I love you guys, and I love what you’ve done together as a family and friends. My only complaint is that I don’t have you guys as friends, to share in the accomplishments and happiness you enjoy together. Be well and continue the great work.
I think what you have built is amazing. I love your gentle delivery from the very beginning. I do not have the skills to build a cabin, and I love watching these types of shows. You’re awesome!
Don't worry about what people say. Y'all are awesome builder's. I would have you build me a tiny house any day.
This is so relaxing to watch. I love the sounds of a job site. My dad is a carpenter. I have memories being with him on site, smelling the wood, hearing the sounds and watching something Beautiful come up by his hands. Great video!!
I would love to see an update of how it's holding up and what changes have been made. This little cabin looks like an amazing get away or home for someone that doesn't need a lot to be happy. I love the project and would love to do something like this one day.
It's so 'badly' built according to some that I'd wager they had to plane the edge of the door at least twice.
I enjoyed this video. Couple of real dudes building an awesome cabin
I used to manage a shop and had an older guy who had built 3 houses from scratch and was doing an add on fir his home. He talked about how ridiculous some of the requirements were now. For example couldn't put in the same outlets as the rest of the house, they had to be 3prong for the NEXT person that owned the home... just do what you do and enjoy!
Watched your cabin build. Love it! Now gotta build outhouse. Would love to live there. It’s beautiful there. The kids are adorable. I’m 66 and miss those days of sledding and playing in the snow. You guys rock!
Wow, building using the resources of the land, such true craftsmanship to be admired.
I just want to say, having just finished watching the video now. (It's taken 2 days because of work.) This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I've ever seen on TH-cam. PLEASE keep doing what you do. Subscribed. I aspire to one day be able to emulate this or something like this. Top notch job all the way around.
This is great! And you guys get along like a mixture of the cast of Saturday Night Live with This Old House mixed in. I'm 68 and still have a dream of building my 16 x 20 log cabin in the woods, way off-grid, where I can live out my years like the hermit I want to be.
I'm glad your not letting the haters hate.That Cabin in work of art and overbuilt if anything, witch is a good thing!! Love what yall do,keep it up please
I made it through the whole video - took two days and I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thanks for all your hard work and filming.
hey dude i am a builder for 26 years in england ,,, you have done well, i get some ideas from you guys which never comes to my mind, thank you for that
enjoy the cabin in the summertime
4 hrs worth of how to build a tiny cabin in the snow country. Very educational. That tiny skillet for Kevin's egg sandwich was perfect. Didn't realize that Suzukis are snow cars.
suzuki utes are though ;-)
❤ my husband and I seriously enjoy your channel, watching the both of you , reminds us of our son’s.
You are an inspiration to so so many!
Haters are going to hate regardless to what you do. I’m glad you burned them up! That’s the only time I will mention them.
We are disabled, I have to add you have inspired us to try and build a little something on here. Love watching the children, your patience and tone of voice is heart warming ❤
Prayers for you and families,
Awesome job guy’s!!
Great work! The cabin looks amazing! I really like the way you built the door and the window frames . I don’t know what some people say in the comments but I’m a carpenter with 23 years of experience and I find your work very impressive.
Hello! I am a 65-year-old Canadian man, living in the big city of Toronto. I am envious of your project, excellent job guys. I’ve being in Construction for 45+ years, basically my whole life, I’ve recently retired less than a year ago and had the opportunity to watch your video, entitled “BUILDING a Small Cabin in the WOODS (COMPLETE BUILD)”, I guess some people can’t see the rational aspect of your build, like you mentioned in very beginning of the video, you are doing this like your forefathers would have done. However, even my own great-grand-father on my mother’s side, build a house back in the day, which I had the opportunity to visit with my uncle 30 years ago. I will attest that that in your case, your Cabin is equal or better and surely more structurally sound, compared to what my great-grand-fathers had built back in the days. Let’s not forget, it is a cabin and not a house you are building. Like the old saying says, What's good for the goose is good for the gander, you are a couple of fun guys having a good time building a CABIN IN THE WOODS, just a place where you can escape to, away from the burden of the town or city life, just a place where you can chillout and have fun, be proud of what you have done and enjoy it, hopefully for many years to come. 🙂
Absolutelyyyy, I've only watched some of @TheWoodedBeardsman videos. But most people aren't watching because we are going to go out and build this cabin. Some maybe, but I enjoy learning how someone else would while also getting to enjoy 'just some guys living in the woods' the banter, the thoughts, the energy bars for on the go (better if not frozen solid). If people's comments & critique's can add or help your build or content then I can see bringing it in. But If it's taking away from you enjoying YOUR build, Life or Content for the sake of the few's need to tell people ''How It's Done!'' Then I could live without it not being ''a perfect build'', personally. I would rather see you & your people enjoying yourselves chopping up some brush & burning some hot dogs over addressing this & that. There's some 'Science' out their that says it takes 10 or 100 good comments to forget or make up for the 1 💩 comment.....SOOO don't read any or your screwed 😂 cus the unhappy make the most noise! AND escape the woods 😁
Just watched the end of the video* Healthy & Thoughtful approach to the positive & negative people. I look forward to watching your positive growth.
I love your channel and I'm following you on your cabin in the woods but what I love most is you and your brother are very funny and you guys are very talented, wish I was their to help out I'm 68 yrs old and I'm a fan.
TH-cam transitioned me to this when the rain video ended. I love your build. I helped my brother build a 16x32 cabin /shelter ( yes, code inspectors were involved) and quite frankly, code forced the use of hurricane clips... when we don't get those types of winds in this area.
In your video, I saw the type of construction our pioneering ancestors would use. Building codes were put in place to protect us from sloppy contractors. People with knowledge and skills are perfectly capable of building their own safe shelter. You have what it takes.
Love what you're doing, remember people that post negative stuff.....thats all they do, they aren't members of any communities at all. Their life consists of trolling on youtube, ignore them, they aren't real people. You built a cool cabin, and gave out tons of good technical info....great stuff I just subbed. Keep up the good work! I'm stuck in Chicago, I love watching this stuff!
Wrong...in my case, I'm well educated in the trades having spent a lifetime building...my goal in pointing out the deficits is so that people like YOU who think this is a 'community' activity don't get burned by using faulty methods. Not to be a kill joy. This could very well be a great job with a few changes in technique. Us old guys have been around and seen what happens over time...it isn't pretty. Comfort, health and safety should always be the end goal. I like the appearance too....no negativity there...but do it right so it lasts. Now if that's negativity...well guess you're okay with mediocrity.
*Support this channel by letting this video run from start to finish. We need help to keep this project going.*
The Wooded Beardsman this is sweet! i wish i could do this but i’ll stick to my small shelter videos for now.
The Wooded Beardsman I love your channel. I noticed that when the posts were dug in a placed no concrete was used. Are there other safety processions used in case of mudslides or just earth erosion?.
In 24H, can you then post how much percent of people completely watched the video from start to finish? I’ve always wondered how many in such a long vid
My best long form video is "puddle lake" and gets an AVERAGE of 1.5 HOURS watch time. @@Jelkiin

Best regards, Lloyd C. in Texas
Cheers from cali dude
I just started watching your show. This is so amazing and I am truly envious. Apparently the negative viewers have no appreciation for what is all involved and your hard work in the extreme cold. Please keep up your vision and add more videos. Thank you, Daniel.
I absolutely love all the cross sections of the wood. Such beautiful patterns no human can create. You need to build more things cause it's not just fun watching you guys, it's also very relaxing! Your meal and coffee looked delicious! Didn't matter what way you made any of it! Thanks for sharing.
Hello from central Georgia. Your right. I wouldn't even acknowledge the negative haters. I think the cabin is awesome. And I've really enjoyed watching it as it's come together. You guys rock. Stay POSSITIVE.
Ray R. Warner Robins Georgia.
This is the first time I've seen your channel and I love it! Your cabin looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to looking at the inside build later today. Life isn't always perfect but the reality is that we have the ability to see the good instead of the bad, and the ability to learn from our experience. You seem like a very kind and generous person, and I know you will grow your channel and continue enjoying your life and your friends.
I ran a couple of 12" duct pipes from the ridge to the underside of my cabin. In the winter I run a fan to push the hot air down and let it rise through the floor. This makes a huge difference. In the summer we take the skirting panels off and the air naturally rises from the cooler ground, out the upper windows. BUT, the verry best addition was the rocket mass heater. We even made a cobb bench. One last stoking of the heater before bedding down and it is still warm in the morning. Love your build!
I think what you guys have done is fantastic. If that one guy doesn't like what you're doing then that's his problem. I think what you have built is great. I live in the midwest USA, and I wish I had the tools and skill to do what you have done. Keep up the Great work.
From someone that cannot do what you do, thank you!! This was extremely fun for me to watch!
i think what you guys do is awesome i enjoy watching every episode. KEEP BUILDING GUYS
We didn’t subscribe to read the negative comments that negative people write. We signed up to view how you and Kevin hunt, trap, fish, build and survive in the outdoors. Great watching!
Thank you for sharing this project build !! Looks very rustic and heart warming! I would love to have the time to build my step daughter some thing like your cabin ! Once again the effort you took to share this with the world , is appreciated!!
Gonna miss the cabin build . Learned a lot
I've been around builders all my life, especially not having a lot of money to do it. Everything you're doing is what I've seen hundreds of times. I wish I could stay in it, it's beautiful. And Lena was the frosting on the cake! The quinzee was a great memory for me!
Watching TH-cam is totally voluntary. You have the ability to watch or not watch. It is entirely up to you. I, for one, find this channel so interesting and have been glued to the screen. Keep it up. I like it and I subscribed.
This full episode was a great idea, I myself have watched all the single episodes of the cabin build and pretty much every episode you have ever published, but seeing it all in one go is great because it gives a person a chance to see what they may of missed in the past, I also want to say Thanks a lot for putting your many adventures out for the internet to see! Your adventures have inspired me in many facets of my own life. :)
Glad I happened upon this video. Beautiful cabin! You guys work well together. Chris has a nice calm sounding voice. Please update us soon!
Chris I'm envious you and your family was able to do this. I think the cabin is fantastic 👍
I wish I could be around people like you guys. I've enjoyed watching. Keep up the great work. Plus you're teaching children to be blessed with that skill. Plus how to love and respect nature. God bless all of you.
How do you plan using this, please? For weekend relaxing? Hunting? ??? I have been very impressed at how well you two brothers work so peacefully together. So refreshing! I love youtube as a great alternative to boring tv! Thank you for showing the entire build. I subscribed to see the interior come about. /// I guess this wouldn't work for your cabin, but I once saw where shelving was installed between studs. They're already in place and sturdy for any weight that might be introduced. But I know you need insulation there, of course. I look forward to phase two. God bless all of you and keep you safe. : )
The weird thing is that 200 years ago this was just totally normal behaviour and you wouldnt be able to brag about it to anyone because they had also all built their own houses, nowadays building your own house is one of the most impressive things someone can do.
I mean yes and no, in city areas there would be people who are hired to build houses but in towns people would make their own houses but they would probably have help. The 1800s were kind of the dawn of modern society.
Oh, you know the live 200 years ago ?
then you know there's a lot of things people don't have that day.
I concur! 200 years ago, Doctors were known by todays standards as "quacks". GENERALLY, they allowed the body to heal naturally by the 8 natural laws of health (nutrition, exercise, fresh water, sunlight, temperance, fresh air, proper rest, trust in God). Plus, they used medicines found in nature in herbs and various plant life. Isaiah 65:21 says we will be building homes in Heaven and planting our own crops. Sure, if we are saved, we will have 1000's of years to understand how to build a nice home. But, wouldn't it be nice to get a jump start on it today... in this life. Just like building the character God desires from each of us. Maranatha! :)
You have the differences they would have done it right and that put 6x6 timbers four feet into the ground without boulders around it LOL the things going to be on the ground in a couple of years
Correction two and a half feet deep LOL I just saw them drop one in after I made that comment. You don't have to use cement but you do have to dig deeper and you do have to use boulders or that shit's going to go everywhere
Thanks for your videos. To Be fair, it seems like you guys try to Do the best things possible without having to Break the Bank or live with Budgets...I love that you've been able to Build a Bunch of things on your property. The main thing that I have been able to notice...you usually always enjoy the journey...who cares about what you use for materials..store Bought or cut it down and mill it. I just love it...thanks for the smiles you and your friends and family have brought to my viewing pleasure...thanks...and keep up the good work.
I just started watching this show. In the middle of nowhere you built a beautiful natural home from scratch. Amazing to say the least. Well done.
I enjoyed this! I like how you re-used/purposed so many things! I also appreciate how you explain what wood you used, why you used it, etc. I am looking forward to seeing more!
What a great way to use the materials given by nature! In my opinion, every thing did was correct.
Love this video I see The second one is up will watch it while I am tending my garden fascinating I’d rather watch something like this that was so interesting and pacing was awesome then a lot of the there I said crap that’s on TV today thank you I am excited to find something new on TH-cam to add to all the other things that I watch thank you and please do not be discouraged by the naysayers I live in Southwest Florida and Garden naturally I’ve had to do a lot of testing that some people thought were weird some work some do not I am having Greatf success with my garden this year and yes when we said I saw you digging I was laughing hard to make the land here they pulled out sand and rocks from quarry all over to build up the land so digging is a nightmare I garden raised beds because of the poor soil quality
Some people are just fundamentally unhappy and want everyone else to be the same. The build looks fantastic to me!
💪🙏
This is my dream cabin and the one cabin I will use as an example to build my own cabin. Thank You for sharing all this knowledge! Thank You for not listening to the haters. I appreciate you all and Love You all so much! Great family!
