My parents were country folk, but I grew up in the city, 30 years after I got married, I've finally convinced my wife to find a country property, all thanks to your videos. God bless you brother.
That's so amazing to hear. This is my favorite comment ever. Congratulations and I'm so happy I could play a small part in that. I live close by to my western cabin out in the country and it's so peaceful, I can't imagine moving back to the city. It did take some adjusting, I moved here from Los Angeles and the first few weeks I didn't know if I had made the right decision. But it brings me so much peace to look out a window or sit on the porch and watch the sunset, to tend to my little orchard, and feet the wildlife. I pray you and your wife find the perfect property.
With so much work to build a home from scratch, it becomes even easier to understand the role of the family in the construction of the first American settlements. Another excellent video.
My grand parents were pioneers. Have a picture of them outside a log cabin much like this with their wagon and mules close by. They had just bought the place and that was around 1900. They both died in the early 1970's.
Oh my goodness I never knew that was the way to re tighten a rope bed. Learn something new every time I watch you. Keep up the great work. I can not wait for you to finish as well and put antiques in. I'm new to prairie homestead ways. I've been more the 1700-1800's but not prairie style. I'm enjoying every bit I am learning. So much hard work our ancestors went through to establish new territories. My ancestors were German decent
Thank you so much I really appreciate you saying that. I have a lot of german ancestry too. It amazes me every day that I'm working on this cabin how much work everything is, the pioneers had it tough.
This is the kind of living history I eat up! Reminds me a bit of the BBC documentary series, “Tales from the Green Valley”, where a small group of historians and archeologists go live on a 17th century farm for a year, using period equipment and techniques, wearing period clothing, and eating period food. There’s a whole slew of later series with the same premise and crew in different periods: Victorian Farm, Edwardian Farm, Tudor Monastery Farm…all available to watch for free on TH-cam for those interested!
haha thank you so much! I've seen that series Tales from the Green Valley, the skills they demonstrate in that is so enlightening. The shear number of day to day life skills people needed to survive 100+ years ago is staggering.
to tighten the bed up even more (or when it begins to loosen), you could make little wooden wedges to put between the outside loops and the frames. looks good, keep up the great work.
This was a nice surprise to open my laptop and see a new episode of your videos. I have really enjoyed watching your progress. How about some windows and a door?? Lol. I know it's time consuming. You r ambitious and you will get there. With all the grades growing in abundance, you could get some mattress ticking, sew a mattress pocket and fill it with cur and dried grass/straw,. Which would be warm and comfortable in the winter. Just a thought...
Thank you! I'm going to try and get the windows done in the next video but I'm still trying to find good old hinges for the front door. I really like the mattress idea and the grass here would be perfect for it.
Forgot about the trick of soaking the rope in water. I am not very knowledgeable on sod houses. Would a limewash on the interior be historically accurate? Seems like a simple way to brighten the interior and reinforce/improve the structure.
Hopefully you will have rain soon and fill up your well. Also, what animal did that leg bone come from ? Dinosaur or cow? I say cow bone? 👍 Nice job tightening up the rope bed. 👍
From South Africa I'm a new sub. Best YT channel by far & different. Can you please clarify if you purchased the land. The vast beauty of open expanses is truly remarkable. I'm trying to watch from the very first upload. I don't wanna miss a sec of the serenity & obviously your build. Blessings from over the pond 🌍🇿🇦💌🙏👍. Would you mind if I send folks to mosey on & sub. All are wannabe pioneers in the big city 😂
Thank you again my friend. Yes I did purchase the land and it really is beautiful thank you. Yes please share this video with anyone you'd like. I used to live in the city too so I still consider myself a wannabe pioneer.
Hey thank you very much, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Right now this youtube channel is all the content that I have. I'm working on adding shorts and I might start a Patreon in the future for behind the scenes content as well as other things like watching old westerns together. I think I've bought from all the old western online venders as well as several of the Civil War ones too, they've all been great. If there's ever an item you see and you want to know where I got it I'd happily tell you.
Thank you. For me it was pretty simple, I'd imagine easier than buying a house. But back then during the Oklahoma land rush you could get 160 acres for free as long as you lived on the land for 5 years and either farmed or raised livestock.
Great job. How comfortable is the rope bed? I’m thinking of making bunk beds in my bunk house for hunting season. Is that 1/2” rope? The cabin is looking good. Thanks
Thanks. Yes it is 1/2" and I'm happy with that size. Also this bed took at least 150 feet of rope. Two wool blankets on top of the rope make it a lot more comfortable than just the bear rope but I'd definitely recommend some type of foam mattress to go on top. And I'd highly recommend finding rope that doesn't have much stretch to it, that will save you work in the long run because it's a lot of work to tighten it.
@@WesternPioneer Perfect thanks for the info. I’m thinking about using 2”x6” for the framing. Not a lot of trees in the area where the bunkhouse is in Montana. You’re progress is moving right along.
@@todstrucks2919 Yeah I imagine there are some areas of Montana that don't have many trees. I could measure my frame the next time I'm out there if you'd like. I think I cut the frame logs 34" and 84". I'm 5'9 for reference.
@@WesternPioneer very cool thanks. Sounds like a good size. I have 4 hunting buddies that will be using them. Sounds like I’ll need 600’ of rope. Great info
Did you just find this spot while out in the back country to do this at, or do you own the land? I've been wanting to do something like this myself, but don't want it to be vandalized or torn down.
I purchased the land and it's pretty hidden but I still worry about it being vandalized. If you can find the right spot I highly recommend doing something like this, it's some of the most fun I've ever had.
How long did u give the bed to settle before tightening, just wen it got losses? After setting the tauntness does it hold easily or is there a trick to keeping it set? Sid not texted is great lot of video it disappears before I can finish reading it thanks.
I'll try and keep the text up longer thank you for mentioning it. For the bed it really needed to be tightened right away, I didn't tighten it enough the first time I did it. I really don't know how often it will need to be tightened. I'm going to try and come up with a new way to tighten the rope because this way took too long.
I don't use it for drinking water but the pioneers would have. I'm trying to figure out what was their most likely method of purification to try out but I'm sure it will never get that taste out.
@@WesternPioneer We are tough enough but it's a mindset. We have been pampered by our technology. I am grateful to have been born in this age but at the same time I want to live with less technology and more in nature. But that's very hard here in Flanders (Belgium). My wife and I bought a farm and are building a new house. Doing everything ourselves. When we live there I also want to build a wooden cottage like you are doing. Without technology and powertools. Thank you for your relaxing videos. They help me relax after building all day and at the same time caring for our 2 year old boy and 5 months old baby girl.
@@TheMegaRedHead I feel the same way about living in this time period and wanting less technology/more nature. That's what drove me to make this channel, I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos. And that sounds like an absolutely beautiful life you have. I hope to have a family of my own one day.
I'm glad you are doing fine. We've been getting some rain in Ky. It was dry here this summer. Looks like we'll be getting some rain from a hurricane in a day or so. Hope you get some rain,too. May God bless and keep you.
What if the man hada wife an 3-4 kids him trying to build this house while wife an kids live in there wagon.He has a lot to do just like the settlers had to build there homes so many years ago an watch out for indians to kill you an burn house down.Hard work for everone no one was fat in those days.Good job❤😊😊😊

I agree, I don't see how anyone could have done it alone. And thank you!

Obrigado meu amigo!
Pembanguna yang lama dan sangat membosankan melihat vedio ini..!!!!
i like your stuff . i think that you must brace your bed because it will fall appart
Brave using creek rocks to build a fire wall, hope they don't pop on you.
Yeah I'm worried about it too. If they pop I hope I get it on camera.

Forgot about the trick of soaking the rope in water.
I am not very knowledgeable on sod houses. Would a limewash on the interior be historically accurate? Seems like a simple way to brighten the interior and reinforce/improve the structure.
Yes lime washes were done. I even heard of a story where one family was able to die it blue to make their home a little different.
Had you thought of longer legs for the barrow to save your back? 😄👍
Every day haha!
@@WesternPioneer A stitch in time.....
Hopefully you will have rain soon and fill up your well. Also, what animal did that leg bone come from ? Dinosaur or cow? I say cow bone? 👍 Nice job tightening up the rope bed. 👍

Thank you. For me it was pretty simple, I'd imagine easier than buying a house. But back then during the Oklahoma land rush you could get 160 acres for free as long as you lived on the land for 5 years and either farmed or raised livestock.

Have the two dogs come back to visit?

Are you going to pony up for real glass in those windows or go for greased paper? I thing the paper would be more interesting.
For the cabin I'm going to do real glass just for the peace of mind but I do want to try the greased paper on my next building.
Do you use that water as drinking water? Or the more serious question: Would the pioneers back then have used that water for drinking?
I don't use it for drinking water but the pioneers would have. I'm trying to figure out what was their most likely method of purification to try out but I'm sure it will never get that taste out.
