DIY Solo Off Grid Log Woodshed Build From Start To Finish

- Hammered out the new woodshed. This is a very important structure on our off grid homestead. It will keep rain and snow off our firewood allowing it to dry/season and will also give us a spot to park the 4wheeler and a couple of other things. A new upgraded chicken coop is on the docket next. #diy #outdoors #homestead

If can keep water away they will last a very long time!
I like the natural build!
Have you contacted Bluetti about being a sponsor!
That would really help you being off grid!
Thank you! They have contacted me but I don’t want any sponsors. I think it’s kind of ruining TH-cam. I like doing TH-cam because I like doing TH-cam, but I want to do it on my own terms, when I want, and say what I want to say, and share what I want to share. With no filters. Once you start accepting money from sponsors you are no longer free, and that’s no way to live.
@@KYLESCABIN reading some of these comments is quite enlightening and I love your honesty about not wanting others being involved with your life. I totally agree Kyle your life style will change & you will no longer have your anonymity to do it alone. So I applaud you for being Independent from others & as always travel well & stay safe.
I also see TH-cam videos where people get free metal storage sheds by sponsoring
@@KYLESCABIN right on, Kyle! 👍👍👍

Absolutely, if the product helps the content creator I’ll watch the sales pitch! Its a win for both!
I admire Kyle for doing just what he does!
Let’s face it, we carry to much stuff!
He needs a good natural build shop!
If I was him I’d checkout Mr chickadee and kris harbor for ways to build with natural materials or as many natural materials to keep costs to minimum!
He’s young and health with a woodsman’s heart!
Skeeter is the happiest dog in America. He's always going and should replace the energizer bunny.
That Sir, is a work of art. Kudos to you for taking advantage of the natural properties of the wood you find around you rather than going and buying processed lumber.
Very nice. I just love watching you build things. I'm older, 65 and I think of my Da when I watch you. My job as a child was to hand him the level so he didn't didn't have to get down off the ladder. Great memories. Wishing you, Ciera and your homestead all the best. 👍
This an ingenious way to have a woodshed when you ample trees to build it. One thing I did with my woodshed was I went to lumber yards and big box stores that have lots of those oak pallets and asking them nicely, they gave broken ones to me and some good ones. I repaired them and my wood sits on them off the ground with a nice air space to keep them dry. Great job as always Kyle.
Another great video! Keep posting and I'll keep watching. Way more entertaining than any ball game or Hollywood movie!
You sure do not need to go to any gym. You're a beast! Look forward to seeing it full of wood!
And just like that a wood shed appears out of nowhere on the property ,,,,, nice
May the Lord bless and protect you Kyle
Living the Dream Young Kyle and it is so cool to watch & follow you & your Partners Adventures in life. A cat, gorgeous and Skeeter that bouncy 4 legged good mate 4ever. Your Lifestyle is growing in stature and keeping you busy - woodshed looking good, looking forward to the chicken coop. Cheers.
For these small job, an electric saw would be wise. Ever since I saw how effective the electric saw works, I’ve become a believer in them getting stuff done with a lot less noise & save a bunch on gas… You should try it out.😊
Good looking wood shed Kyles!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Being a Virginia boy I am always amazed how you guys can just dig a hole in the upper Midwest. We have nothing but back breaking clay!
Kyle , you are one very talented young man. Very nice. 👍👍😊
You are so awesome Kyle👏‼️
Love seeing the kitty hanging with you and Skeeter, Kyle.
This is so nice! You should be proud. Always love watching your channel.
You are a very impressive young man. The wood shed will stand for a long time. Looks very sturdy. Be safe. Love your videos. Till next time.
You are truly living as off grid as possible Kyle and I absolutely admire you for not taking easy options.
I built a similar woodshed about 15 years ago and have filled and emptied it many times over. I built it near the cabin - but not too near - because I wanted to make sure critters and carpenter ants that might take up residence there can’t move directly into the cabin. It’s worth the extra little walk in the snow.
great job on the woodshed. Soon enough it will helping keep the Homestead going by keeping your essentials dry and seasoned.
Well done. Good structure. Fun to watch. Thx for sharing. Your experience is beyond your years. Makes me jealous. I live through your vids. Keep on having fun and living the life. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Kyle you are a good worker always doing projects and making your place better.
bro this is content. I watch and play a lot of survival games so this is up my alley. if you wore a go pro while you worked and continue commentary ...insane. I subscribed.
Looking good, Kyle! Nice videography as well.
Love the videos you give a young guy like me motivation!! Thank you
Wow. Congrats on a pretty cool build!
Excellent job with the wood shed! Now comes the task of filling it, but from watching you for the last couple years, you live to chop wood...lol 😂😅 Hoping Sierra is well, love what you're doing ❤️
Much respect from a guy that's been in construction for 28 years. If you need any advice on raising farm animals I'd be happy to help. Nice work here.
I have 3 wood sheds one I built like a lean to off the side of a shed about 14 feet long 6 feet high 6 feet wide used cedar posts I cut out back bought rough 2 by 4s I got for dollar apiece and cull 10 to 14 inch wide pine boards about 200 dollars in it total still good 15 years later
You're one heck of a hard working man, Kyle! I enjoy seeing what you do at your cabin. I always look forward to the videos. 😃
Nice job Kyle you just gave me a way to store my snowmobiles and my firewood, I may do sheet metal for the roof due to a lot of trees around me. This construction is a lot cheaper than a pole barn. Thanks👍
The best part about log building is that you already own the building materials!
Cool woodshed! Will be nice to have a garage for the 4 wheeler as well.
Wish I lived in a place where I only had to dig post holes 16" deep!
Good pile of garden mulch or fire starter you have there from the pealing of all those logs. That was really a work out young man. great Job.
Great job 👍the old wooden step ladder was put to the test
Three big bays.
I've turned to criss-cross (Lincoln log style) stacking of firewood as it provides much better drying air circulation and really cuts down on the damn nesting critters common to traditional tight parallel stacked firewood piles. Like 3" wolf spiders.
Best for newly split wood especially if it's green.
Takes up to 50% more room though.
Looks very good cannot wait till you show us all the things you will be building. Giving out good ideas. Stay safe, warm, and blessings.
Thanks! Lots of new projects coming up
Looks great! My back was aching for you peeling the bark on all those!
Wow looks amazing. Great job. I remember when I had your energy when I was younger. I love the look of the logs and I’m pretty sure the ends of your posts will last a long time before you need to worry about them. Thanks for sharing Kyle. Oh love Skeeter lol.
Looks great free wood yes lots of fire 🔥 wood indeed . Thanks again bro have a blessed week 🙏. Go leafs go !!
SALUTI DALL'ITALIA 🏡👏👏👍🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Brilliant work 👍🏻
Hey Kyle. My wife and I enjoy your videos very much. You are a hard worker. We really appreciate the fact you "use what you have" but make it as nice as possible. To be honest, we have stopped watching 75% of the "off grid/homesteader" channels. They are always showing brand new trucks, tractors, elaborate solar arrangements etc. We can't relate to them, they live like they are wealthy. You don't come off that way at all. My friends in the UP of Michigan around Baraga are getting 12"+ of wet snow today (May 1st) Are you getting any? P.S. we love seeing Scooter play also 😊👍.
Appreciate you too Kyle, you are a hard working young man, and a mathematical genius on figuring just how much the shade would hold.
Can’t wait to see it completed.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here love seeing how you do your building as you have said you do it how you can manage and that’s realistic be safe always watching
Hi Kyle. Hope all is well with you and family. And Skeeter as well.
That’s a pretty good job you did there it’s really fun to watch you build and the ideas you come up with 😅
Your channel is great.
Do me a favor and plant a post not charred so we can compare the 2.😊
Your such a lovely hardworking lad, you make your building projects look effortless 😊
That is as NICE of a 🪵 shed as ANYONE would ever need!!! I've watched almost ALL of your videos & I believe you could do just about ANYTHING!!!! Thanks again for sharing
Good job young man so encouraging for anyone who wants to put up a woodshed. God bless love u guys New Zealand
Nice work!
For those who do not wish to put in all this effort, I have used landscape timbers instead of peeling the logs. They are 8 feet long and actually measure 2.5 x 3.5. Inches in the cross section. The work and look nice.
For a roof, I have used both corrugated plastic and metal. Always wanted to try clear polycarbonate, just a sheet - not double wall, for a wood shed. Have not done so yet. Should allow the wood to get dry quickly.
8 x 24 should give you probably two good years. I burn about 5 cords a year, heating with only wood. Two of my wood sheds look like these, but with partial side walls. Both were 8 x 16, one I expanded to 12 x 16, then divided it in half. Each 12 x 8 area holds enough for a winter. I want to have enough wood to fill both by Easter. If I cut and split wood before Easter, the wood will be burnable for the coming winter. If both are full at Easter, i should be good for the next two winters.
As cheap internal dividers, between years, I have used old pallets.
Good luck!
Great 👍 😃!!!
Looks great. Fairly simple and all your lumber was already growing there. Nice job!
Great job Kyle you simply amaze us with your hard work & skills.
I’ve been looking forward to this one.
nice job man, made it look easy!
Thanks! It’s simple process just a lot of labor
Just wow, love it.
Absolutely fascinating watching you do what you do. And as always watching Skeeter and Kitty do what they do. 👍😉✌❤
Haven't commented in a while, but it's great to see your progress on the homestead!
You are one workin guy keep it up and get er done.
More quality content from Kyle, Sierra, Skeeter and the Mouser. That wood shed works for me. I guess the membrane will be shown next time. Another trick to keep me watching....
Nice! Good call on peeling the logs!
nice shed
A nice addition to your homestead. Keep up the good work.
Good job Kyle always love watching your skills with the cabin Skeeter is fun to watch.
Dang Kyle, you are one remarkable young man, you always make it look so easy to do...and your are not even breaking a sweat hehehehehe..Very nice and love keeping an eye on what your doing and how your off grid living is the life...
I just edit out all the grunts and swearing to make it look easy haha
So good to see you back building things again Kyle. You have a ‘no nonsense’ style, and I really appreciate that. I’m looking forward to seeing your next series of episodes now that the snow has gone. Cheers from Australia 👏🏻🇦🇺🦘
Poplar is a great building material. Back in the day the wooden bodied trucks were made from poplar lumber. Light weight and strong enough. A lot of the old post n beam barns were done in poplar as well. Great looking woodshed Kyle. Many years of use in that building.
Looks great and l think the rubber mat for a roof is a great idea. I used 8x8s l got in the bone yard ( for free) and used an alternative roof.
Very nice work Kyle!
Thank you Kyle! I look forward to every moment you share! It’s always great; especially these days. Stay safe out there.
Impressive. I would have put some additional diagonal bracing to stabilize the structure back to front.
Looks good Kyle.!!
Always a pleasure kyle!
Love the new wood shed. I agree with you, simple is a very reliable way to go.
Anothe awesome build Kyle. Cant wait for the chicken Coop.
Blessings to you and Cierra. 😊🇺🇲
Dang. I’m over by Finland, MN and still have about 2 ft of snow on the ground at my cabin.
I'm in babbitt mn and got snow and froze ground. Kyle must be in the sunshine spot close to us. Lol 4 more wet inches of snow sat Sunday with some rain. If you get to babbitt look me up. Nice to visit with like mined people. In town but got a cabin out in the woods also
It's so fun to watch you build. You really know what you're doing, as you've done it so many times now.
Wow you are ambitious. Keep it up. It is amazing how fast the snow went and can back lol
I’m a feared your chickens will outgrow your cabin..When is that project next? Lol…as if you don’t have enough to build! Your amazing Man Kyle. I love your videos and watching your homestead grow. It’s coming along beautifully….👍♥️
Great looking wood shed!
I hope you make a video finishing this wood shed , showing how you installed the rubber roof !!!! Please.
Will be easy to extend the back a few feet for extra dry space. You better get with it, those chicks are growing like crazy. Good job, much like I would have done it. The burn boils the resin inside and kind of camelizes the wood to resist rot. Leaves a barrier insects don't like to eat. It works. Now if you have the resources the easies way to bark a log is to bury it for a couple months leases, dirt moss some organic material. The bark litterally falls off. we did that for years with poplar wood and oak.
This webt up so quick it impressive. Its the peeling, youre very strong and hardworking, Kyle. God bless you. Chika Chika ( I changed my TH-cam name)
Pretty fine chipmunk control u got going on there!
Looking real good Kyle. Nice chainsaw skills too, making it look a breeze 👍
It looks great. ♥
Great stuff, Kyle. I enjoy watching your builds. That is going to be so useful.
Kyle, we appreciate you too and think you are an awesome young man. We wish you the best of everything and a plethora of God's blessings, on you and Cierra, that good dawg, and that very schweet kitty. That is a good cat to stick around outside with you and Skeeter, chasing chipmunks. She is quite a nice asset to the homestead. looking forward to the new chicken house and the new chickens.
Nice Job Kyle 😊 look forward to the next video❤️🇨🇦
You're looking like a pro.
Looks Great .That will hold a lot of wood
All the effort you put into your homestead really shows. Woodshed looks great and being able to add on to it will come in handy. It's what works best for me..very well said! Thanks for another great video.
I found another place you can use rubber roofing the chicken house floor pulls out easily and wash off with the hose 😊
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Perfect timing I’m building a new chicken coop pretty quick here
That's what we do with our chicken coop. Cleaning is easy...
Buddys gotta collab with @Mav. Heck, they're probably neighbors.
Awesome build!
Nice construction . Free material .
If everybody had your attitude, the World would be a better place.
Great job on the woodshed 😅
