In this video I build a small off grid cabin in the remote woods of the upper Midwest. If you've ever wanted o build a cabin in the woods...this is one way to do it.
Can we just take a second to enjoy the time he spent setting up the camera angles? It would’ve taken him probably half the time to finish this project, but instead he chose to make some nice, satisfying content for us. What a guy.
So many "Build a cabin in the wild" videos just have music...Thanks so much for voicing this video. appreciate you telling us the stuff we might not know. 1 thumbs up
I’m glad this guy got 24 million views because he definitely deserves it , how long and hard it takes to build a house like that let alone record tons of 5-10 second clips of building and cutting , huge props to this man
Not only is this cabin build entertaining to watch, the video is also relaxing because the guitar music in the background doesn't interfere with the narration- it supports it without being too loud or annoying. Bravo! If Bob Ross built cabins...
As a man who has been building structures and doing side projects my entire life, I truly can say. You sir are one hell of an American and a master craftsman. You made so many things in this project look easy, especially for those of use that know better, and can truly appreciate your work. Thank you, sir. You did one hell of a job and documented it all for us to appreciate. I applaud your efforts my man. Well done!
At 75yo, this I enjoyed immensely… with nearly 20% energy left, I was able to see it all yet again …. You made my 45 minutes of dreaming come true … thank you!
It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s krplus.net/upostUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
I finally got to watch your wife’s video where I believe you are starting construction on this build! I’m glad I found it. I thought it was so sad that you were building out there alone. To see her being there with you and the pups, but doing her own thing. Made me happy! I am new to your channel and I can’t get enough of the things you both do and how satisfied and happy you both seem!
This was absolutely awesome... Watching from beginning to end was really enjoyable... It took me back to my days when I used to Frame Home's for a living.. That was back in 1984 to 1991 when everything was stick built.. None of that way over priced Pre-Fab junk that comes on a truck and goes together like a model car kit.. 🤣 And they call themselves Framer's.. 😂 But you endured the weather ☁️🌡️ and got it done.. And you could see the pride on your face at the end.. And it's sure something to be proud of and feel Blessed to be able to have it in such a beautiful spot .. To be able to wake up and step out on your porch.. Look around at the beauty of the land , take a deep breath of fresh air... And say to yourself:: Man , God is so GOOD 👍 I pray that you are able to enjoy every moment for many years to come.. 🙏 Thanks for all the work you put into making your video so we were able to enjoy your experience...
Dude I loved watching you. My father-in law talked me into building a 1500 sq ft ranch in 1985. He taught me all I needed to know. I went on to build a 3 stall garage with a beautiful wood shop. I still love the work but at 68 I can't work those 12 to 13 hour days anymore. Your talents will provide you with a very rewarding life. Don't forget. Jesus was a carpenter!!!
This entire video just feels of life's simplest pleasures. A man in the woods, building himself a cabin, with some narration that sounds like a string of letters sent to friends and family, and some quality. You sir, seem like a great guy to get a beer with.
Ok, pardon me, but I have city girl question. Are there any black bears in that area? If so, while he’s away, can’t they break through the big wide windows and destroy his place?
i watch it sitting on my recliner wishing i had the motivation to do this. BUT i have built 3 tree houses for my kids in the past ten years. My house is in the woods.
Here I am at 83 years of age, and you have fired me up to give it a try. I hope my health stays good enough to do so! Of all the videos I have seen on You Tube for this sort of work, in my opinion there is none to compared to yours. I am happy to have found your channel. Thanks so much.
Pst almost nobody has access to land to do this stuff except for people already well off. This is the outdoor version of kid rock, just a rich guy pretending to be an average guy
@@mediocrestu8238 he's made videos explaining that he doesn't have many expensive things, and his priority was dead set on having land. He has land cuz he's sacrificed other wants and commodities of the modern day. Anyone who can adapt to that mindset will find themselves able to buy a cheap plot of land.
@@arianna1906 wait till you find out that these guys lie a lot because this makes them money. a quick google search tells me he got money by flipping real estate
Ive watched the hole video with My son. He is only 5 yold and he loved it as i did. The buildin, the Nature, the music. I'm a constructor myself so hoping to put on práctice what web have learned. Thanks a lot
This is not only an American dream. Ever since I was a child and first watched little house on the prairie and Calamity Jane I wanted to live how they did. My dream has evolved but never gone, and that is to live in a cabin in the woods. I would literally pack a bag a leave today. I watch loads of these type of videos but have enjoyed yours the most. Your very talented
Very rarely these days do I come across a KRplus video that captivates my undivided attention for a full 40 minutes, without getting distracted or pausing whatsoever. This video was definitely one of those occasions, loved every minute of it. You’re living the dream, amazing job on the cabin and the video!
You’re absolutely right. I just realized that I clicked the video and watched it in its entirety without pausing or putting it on my “Watch Later” list. That’s how I know this was a masterpiece.
i can’t even imagine taking on this sort of building project never mind filming and documenting the entire thing with this sort of quality. i’m extremely impressed.
I think I have watched this video about 30 times now. I am about to start building my own off grid cabin and this is the style I am going to do. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge.
@@josephmacchiello2594 wdym🤦♂️ he said he got an ASMR feeling from this😂 meaning he got a tingly good sensation by watching this guy build a shed🤔 seems kinda weird to me
@@pro_moderngamer4943 it is also described as a sedative and relaxing sensation. Which is what I meant. Some people probably think having the desire to build a small cabin in the middle of nowhere weird as well. But it’s not. Far from it. When you grow up you’ll understand.
@@ndi5670 I said nothing about the cabin building being weird, I would love to live in a remote cabin off by myself but ASMR is described as a satisfying tingling sensation. Which if you seriously get off to dude building cabins in the woods then you are fucking weird. Has nothing to do with me “being grown up or not” it has to do with the fact you get fulfilled to this guy working😂
I watched this video from beginning to end and I actually enjoyed and was gratified to the attention to detail and the care of building this home. Thank you for this video
As a civil engineer from Sweden I always love watching these videos and u picked a gorgeous spot to build! Great video also you didn’t use a computer to give your ridiculously precise measurements like I can do at work 😆 you did it the old fashioned way. Hammer,axe,saw,measure tape nothing but respect for that Your humor is Amazing “insulation is my favorite job… said nobody ever” Greetings from Sweden
Hej du from the Svenska part of the US in the Great Lakes region. My mom lived in Sweden near Hid Yttre for many years and the forests there were much like here, except we have more hardwood trees. Anyhow it’s good the hear from someone like you in Sverige!
oh my gosh! I loved "you can nail a lot of boards together for $600 a month!" I've been trying to explain this to my family for so long but never knew how to put it into words. I'm moving to my land in January and really have never built anything bigger than a birdhouse (in 3rd grade for 4H). Everybody keeps telling me "Why don't you just get an apartment?". So I've been deemed the crazy lady of the family. Thanks for being an inspiration!
Please chronicle your build journey! If you do, comment back with your channel name. I’d love to follow and see what you do. Good luck crazy lady 🤓 I’m rooting for you!
Everybody tries to validate their just “rent” something small or a small mortgage etc concept, let me tell you there’s nothing like paid for land, and building as you go, the feeling of accomplishment and the freedom of no payments! It feels amazing
I can’t tell you how much over enjoyed watching you build this cabin from start to finish 😊 I’m a city boy knows nothing about building but I’d sure like to have a cabin like that for myself 👍👍👍
So, I know it may sound weird, but me and my father have been just going in the woods and making cabins for anyone to use at least a few times every year for the last 3 years. It’s hard work, but also a good bond for me and him, as well as the community. We don’t know much, but we do know one thing: this country needs more generosity!
I have lived totally off grid since 2015. I built my own cabin in the mountains of WV. Watching your video I learned so much. I hope things are going well for you. God's Speed!
I don't think I've ever enjoyed a video this much, we just built a house on 20 acres and would LOVE to add something like this in our back wooded land but no way I could get it done like you did. Wow.
I remember watching this video on TV with my grandpa. He had been a hard working man throughout his entire life and he always loved nature. He really enjoyed watching this with me and said that he admired you a lot for building this cabin and wished that there would be more hard working men like you. Good job sir, whenever I want to remember my grandpa I come back to this video.
This video made me feel so relaxed. I felt my mind completely turn off while watching. Thank you so much for recording all of this. I seriously enjoyed it 😄😄😄
I’m watching every single video this gentleman has made as the amount of effort time and love he pours into them for us is amazing and I am so grateful! I learn so much and I learn “ this is one way to do it “ You’re so authentic and lovely Thank you 🙏🏼
I can honestly say I can not remember watching something I enjoyed as much as this video for a very long time. What an enviable experience. You are blessed among men, sir.
*The fact that you just woke up one morning and built this with your own hands and no help, it’s absolutely astounding!* Fascinating to watch you work! You should be very proud, it would take me 100 years to figure out something like this 😅🤔😊
@@djvelocity framers are in high demand at the moment I'm sure you could find a job for a framing company, labour around for a couple months then learn some framing skills it's pretty fun I've been doing it for the past year and a half now. It's a dangerous job and it's pretty hard work so you might not want to make a career out of it
@@datboitrooper1255 been a carpenter in New Zealand for the past couple of years, not dangerous just hard work and if it’s for you it’s a good way to make a living
Next year i've been tasked with building a patio/deck for myself and my partners humble abode, came across this... i believe this is the real american dream
I'm 78 and I am in my fifth year building my rather ambitious 20'×20' cabin with a second floor attic, no blueprints! I'm finishing the kitchen now. I had a heavy wall to lift, so I used a pulley system. The wall was fastened at one end, and a counter weight on the other end. I got to try it on one wall section, and then a friend showed up to help on the rest!
This is the video that made me decide I wanted to learn how to build things. I am a month into a job as a framer/carpenter and I have never had more fun at work. It’s nice watching this video again and actually understanding what I’m watching
I absolutely felt the same, absolutely lovely and I kind of felt sad when the video finished. I would have loved watching for some more time, nice project, well put together, congrats
So I’m sitting here, doing some sewing, while also listening to videos. I always have continuous play on while do a repetitive task. At first I was totally confused as to why the algorithm chose your video for me,…but I’m so GLAD it was! This is absolutely outside what I would normally chose to watch but I wish I had of came across your channel a lot sooner. Listening to talk so passionately and with such a positive attitude was so comforting and relaxing. I’ve found myself in a bit of a funk lately and have had this dark cloud of negativity the seems to follow me everywhere. Ive tried different things to bring me back to the world of positivity but nothing has helped. But after watching, mostly listening, to your video I honestly feel better then I have in months. You have no idea how much I’ve been trying to find even just a glimpse of some light at the end of the tunnel and now I do. Your attitude is so awesome, thank u! Oh if I could have reached into the screen to help you with the (pain in the ass lol) task of putting up the first wall I totally would have!! I was helping u mentally Lol😊
That was nice of you you tell them and the rest of KRplus about your current struggles and how this video helped you even if it’s only a small amount. Giving credit where credit is due. Take care out there stranger.
I came across this video by accident. I started watching, and I COULD NOT stop watching. This was so relaxing and satisfying to watch. Loved seeing this no nonsense, practical aspect to building a cabin. On To Part 2!
.... you stole my comment before I could post it ... oh well thanks ..... no intention of building a thing here though but enjoyed this man's zeal for constructing that captivating little cabin ......
I have always seen myself as one with a short attention span. I always seem to skip around videos to see parts I want to and what not. But there is something about documenting the outdoors, and building something with ones hands, that just takes me to a different place. I watched the whole 40 minute videos without thinking about clicking off and watching something else once. I would like to thank you for the incredible job that you’ve done on the cabin, and on the video. Your cinematography is outstanding. The subtle music in the background, and the cinematic shots of the nature around you really tie the whole thing together. Also the occasional story here and there are really something special. I hope the cabin serves you well and houses many good memories.
This is Discovery Channel level quality video making. I would easily watch a show about this kind of stuff all day. You just got yourself a new subscriber, Mr. Bushradical. I'm an engineer, so I'd love to actually build a cabin similar to this instead of doing calculations in an office all day. Something about using your hands to actually make something just feels right.
@@GAMELORD1308 It is. Unfortunately in school we don't learn any of the hands on stuff. I can tell you all about the tensile and compressive strength of wood or any other material and how thick a beam needs to be to support "x" amount of weight, but the actual installation of the beam and how to use all of the tools is not covered. Most engineers are "self taught" in the hands on portion because we like it and that's what drove us to engineering in the first place, but there is no guarantee an engineer will know how to use every tool or know the tricks of the carpentry trade. I really like thermodynamic systems, and that's what I specialize in (think rockets and internal combustion engines) so other than the basics, woodworking is a very foreign topic to me. I know I could learn it, and that's part of the reason I'm watching these videos. To learn tips and tricks and expand my knowledge!
You would probably love the video of Dick Proenneke building his log cabin in alaska, very similar style of video to this. Its called "Alone in the wilderness" not sure if its on KRplus or not but i Highly recommend it
This video was so satisfying to watch. Cold weather and a safe, warm place to snuggle up in….this is one of the most hearty, content feelings in the world. I’d love to see a follow up video, once you get the cabin filled with furniture, just getting to see you enjoy the place for a day and night.
Meg, if you get the chance pop over to Brooke’s (Bushradical’s wife) channel ‘Girl in the Woods’ and watch the video ‘Spend the night with me-blizzard at the cabin’. You’ll understand what I mean. Unless you’re here mainly for the practical reasons of how to build, which is fair enough.
This was really enjoyable to watch from start to finish ,I was rootin for ya to raise up the wall in the first go ,but you got it up safely which is most important ,much respect from Trinidad and Tobago
Dave, you are truly blessed to have the health and knowledge to build a cabin, let alone the property and means to purchase all of the building materials!

I am not a “prepper”, a handyman, nor do i like construction. I am just a random millennial that came across this video because I follow camping stuff for Jeeps. All of that said, I am impressed with your prowess. The build was fantastic, and one thing that likely isn’t mentioned elsewhere here is your editing skills. This was all around a lovely video. Great job.
Wow Man American guys are so good when it comes to DIY, building. Great work. I save this video as a reference if I ever build somithing like this in the future...
This is by far one of the best cabin-raising videos I’ve ever watched. Great shots, easy narration, appropriate soundtrack, educational and entertaining, and of course, I have a fondness for the Upper Midwest. Felt like my uncle was talking me through a build. Can’t wait to see if there’s an update or part 2!

That was awesome. My dad was a builder , taught himself, and taught my two brothers how to build. Made me appreciate how hard they worked. My dad is gone now. This video made me think of him.
@@jacobm6617 Why's no? History speaks in favor of God's word. Check out how the Roman Empire and later the Papacy fulfilled the prophecies of Revelation 13. The last 3000 years have been a testimony. There is a video here on youtube you can check out called "From Babylon To America" that covers this. Unless all world governments and leaders are conspiring together. Either way if you make a serious attempt to start a relationship with god you can get a response. Pray for Him to intervene in your life and look for the motion of His hand

My wife and I are currently working towards getting out of debt and buying some land...almost there. Your channel has really motivated me to stay focused on the goal and helped me to gain confidence in my abilities to build us a cabin.
Along with the actual process of the project, enjoyed the heck out of your positive attitude and narration mixed with light instrumental music and the sounds of work, fire and nature!
In UK, we tend to use sheeps wool as insulation, its the warmest, cheapest!, & its got lots of lanolin in the wool, making it 100% waterproof. Enjoy your chat, no lots of music or stupid laughter in the back ground, one of the best to date to view.
Me and my family built a quality 25 X 25 wrap around deck on our land. My parents decided to live there for retirement years. They added another 15 fett for a 3 rd bedroom with closet and a mud/heater room. It was one of the coolest things I ever did. We used the post foundation. I used mahogany floors and finish work was a bit more pricey but used bat and board Amish cut siding and structure were beams from Amish too. It was a beautiful day raising the walls. We had 20+ family and friends there to help. All our friends pitched in! It’s a beautiful cabin on 62 acres at the foothills of Allegheny mountains in WNY! Really nice area. 15 min from Lake Erie. We have a septic that could be used for a couple homes. And the well is sufficient too. I would love to live there but the snows too much for me. My bros use tractor for removal. And just bought a large mower/ plow a couple years ago so they didn’t need to use the farm tractor. I see your place is an enjoyable one too. I wish we went ahead with the wood burner! I love a nice wood burning stove. What a lovely place to call your own! ❤
Great camera work and the subtle inserts of tools and birds and vistas, simply genius. Also the old tools worn by time bring their old world charm to this project. Also for me one the greatest bonuses, no cussing, blasphemy or disrespect. That is even after your Herculean attempt to move the first panel came to naught but then again brain beats brawn every time. Thank you for an amazing upload and I have nothing but respect for you dear Dave. Wishing you many amazing memories in your beautiful cabin in the woods. Take care and God Bless. From Cape Town - RSA. 💖
I’ve seriously watched this several times and I’m living vicariously through this video. This is my dream, a place like this. Loved every second, nice work and thanks for sharing!
Never knew how much I would enjoy someone just building a cabin and having a good time! Camera work was much cleaner than expected, and I really enjoyed this video. Definitely coming back for more videos like this one.
Your "bit off more than I can chew" part reminds me of a time when I was working on a heavy Inline 4 and removing it from the frame while the bike was still somewhat assembled. I didn't realize how heavy the engine was until it was partly out of the frame and teetering/about to fall off and I was at such an awkward angle, I either had to give up, or let it drop. I let it drop. Luckily everything was fine lol. My hat is off to you sir, I thought building a motorcycle was hard work, this is a whole 'nother level.
@@Bushradical You should have a stud near by to help support the wall as you push it up, then at least it won't falll on you. Be safe and great work! you can nail the stud in with one nail, so as you push the wall up,, the stud pivots and digs into the floor as you go .
@@Bushradical I wish I was near you to learn from you, never built a cabin or house...I love to learn new things.. lot of respect for you sir... keep up the high quality work... have a bless day
I'm envious of you, i would give anything to be able to live like that. Great work, enjoy the time you spend in your marvellous little wood cabin in the woods.
I have a “man fort” in the woods that is so similar to your cabin that when I shared this video with my family they thought I made a video of me building mine. I absolutely loved seeing how much better I should have made mine 🤣. Beautiful build and filming such a pleasure to watch and enjoy thanks
i built mine... 16x24 single slope and made every mistake possible... off-square and all... still living in it 21 years later... blessings... wish i could upload the three bobcats i saw last week.
My Dad built a barn on his gorgeous property. You have flooded me with so many memories as I watch your build. Even in my 30s, I would stop out every day just enamored with his talents. I am blessed to have learned from such meticulous talent and drive. Beautiful job!
Great job kid! My wife and I own 2 acres of land in the Allegheny mountains. I cheated a bit by parking a 36 ft RV on the land, but I built a canopy and deck around the RV. All pressure treated lumber. It looks amazing. I am a retired contractor of 45 years. I truly enjoyed watching you work. Thanks for the video. Gods best to you and yours.
My dad passed away suddenly this year, and I always helped him with projects when I was younger. So much of this video has brought back so many memories of the many house projects we did together; from the exact tools he had, to your little bits of humor throughout. Thank you, truly, for these videos.
I just complained on another guy's video that it was too long and full of fluff. Now I watched this entire video, fascinated from end to end. The practical construction tips (including the stuff you just do and don't bother explaining) are priceless. This was great. Most inspiring video of its kind I have seen.
This has to be one of my all time favorite videos on youtube. I've been watching it regularly since it popped up and it never fails to relax me. Thank you
This is probably the most straight-forward and easy-to-understand instructional that I've seen on cabin/tiny house building. Usually these types of videos have some combination of bad camera angles, coupled with other critical details missing. Not this one. Just about every last detail is clearly explained, and for those that are not (e.g. wood stain), he directs you to where you can find that info. I'll be using this as a guide for my cabin build. Bravo, and thanks!
My wife and I live on two acres of land in New Zealand. After watching your videos I'm thinking of building a little cabin on our back paddock near some pine trees. Thank you Dave for laying out step by step how to do it. However it will take me weeks rather than days! God bless.
The random algorithms brought me to you today, and I'm all the better for it! You are truly a skilled master of your craft, and I wish I had a fraction of this talent. I feel this is a lost art that people need to bring back to the forefront! Thanks for this awesome video!
Can we just take a second to enjoy the time he spent setting up the camera angles? It would’ve taken him probably half the time to finish this project, but instead he chose to make some nice, satisfying content for us. What a guy.

@@slamminsamsosa53 yes, that’s true! I think I’m just being lazy, instead of during my usual research. 😀
i watch it sitting on my recliner wishing i had the motivation to do this. BUT i have built 3 tree houses for my kids in the past ten years. My house is in the woods.
I can honestly say, if I could start over, this is exactly where I would live my life out PERIOD!
Totally!
To me, this has to be the single GREATEST VIDEO EVER ON KRplus. A joy of a man and experience. THANK YOU SIR
Here I am at 83 years of age, and you have fired me up to give it a try. I hope my health stays good enough to do so! Of all the videos I have seen on You Tube for this sort of work, in my opinion there is none to compared to yours. I am happy to have found your channel. Thanks so much.
That’s really cool to hear you’re 83 and you wanna do this. I wish you the very best.

@@cherylwireman5594 I do, one day at a time! I can acknowledge the work and ability to make the video. Thank you!
Thank you
Bob ross of house building! the 3 part series on simple cabin everyone can build is outstanding.
Pst almost nobody has access to land to do this stuff except for people already well off. This is the outdoor version of kid rock, just a rich guy pretending to be an average guy
@@mediocrestu8238 he's made videos explaining that he doesn't have many expensive things, and his priority was dead set on having land. He has land cuz he's sacrificed other wants and commodities of the modern day. Anyone who can adapt to that mindset will find themselves able to buy a cheap plot of land.
@@arianna1906 wait till you find out that these guys lie a lot because this makes them money. a quick google search tells me he got money by flipping real estate
Ive watched the hole video with My son. He is only 5 yold and he loved it as i did. The buildin, the Nature, the music. I'm a constructor myself so hoping to put on práctice what web have learned. Thanks a lot
This is not only an American dream. Ever since I was a child and first watched little house on the prairie and Calamity Jane I wanted to live how they did. My dream has evolved but never gone, and that is to live in a cabin in the woods. I would literally pack a bag a leave today.
I watch loads of these type of videos but have enjoyed yours the most.
Your very talented
Very rarely these days do I come across a KRplus video that captivates my undivided attention for a full 40 minutes, without getting distracted or pausing whatsoever.
This video was definitely one of those occasions, loved every minute of it. You’re living the dream, amazing job on the cabin and the video!
Well said. My thoughts exactly.
Wait a minute, 41min.... ?!
Hoo-wee, time flies when you see the outdoors.
You’re absolutely right. I just realized that I clicked the video and watched it in its entirety without pausing or putting it on my “Watch Later” list. That’s how I know this was a masterpiece.
i can’t even imagine taking on this sort of building project never mind filming and documenting the entire thing with this sort of quality. i’m extremely impressed.
Thanks!!
@Jordan Mulyyy That would be a great reality show. Can you build a cabin in the woods.
If you don’t try it will never happen
@@matthewmilam286 very true
No need given that son of a b**** to credit for it
Your carpentry skills on this cabin project was an absolute joy to watch. Awesome job! 👏 thanks for sharing.
I think I have watched this video about 30 times now. I am about to start building my own off grid cabin and this is the style I am going to do. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge.
I honestly never thought that watching someone build a cabin could become ASMR. But man, you’ve done it.
bruh dont be weird.

@@josephmacchiello2594 wdym🤦♂️ he said he got an ASMR feeling from this😂 meaning he got a tingly good sensation by watching this guy build a shed🤔 seems kinda weird to me
@@pro_moderngamer4943 it is also described as a sedative and relaxing sensation. Which is what I meant. Some people probably think having the desire to build a small cabin in the middle of nowhere weird as well. But it’s not. Far from it. When you grow up you’ll understand.
@@ndi5670 I said nothing about the cabin building being weird, I would love to live in a remote cabin off by myself but ASMR is described as a satisfying tingling sensation. Which if you seriously get off to dude building cabins in the woods then you are fucking weird.

There's something that is just so satisfying about watching somebody build something.
You the extra bolt / screws kinda guy huh 😂
I watched this video from beginning to end and I actually enjoyed and was gratified to the attention to detail and the care of building this home. Thank you for this video
As a civil engineer from Sweden I always love watching these videos and u picked a gorgeous spot to build!
Great video also you didn’t use a computer to give your ridiculously precise measurements like I can do at work 😆 you did it the old fashioned way. Hammer,axe,saw,measure tape nothing but respect for that
Your humor is Amazing “insulation is my favorite job… said nobody ever”
Greetings from Sweden
Howdy from Texas, and NO ONE likes handling fiberglass insulation.
Hej du from the Svenska part of the US in the Great Lakes region. My mom lived in Sweden near Hid Yttre for many years and the forests there were much like here, except we have more hardwood trees. Anyhow it’s good the hear from someone like you in Sverige!
@@blaws6684 u too
oh my gosh! I loved "you can nail a lot of boards together for $600 a month!" I've been trying to explain this to my family for so long but never knew how to put it into words. I'm moving to my land in January and really have never built anything bigger than a birdhouse (in 3rd grade for 4H). Everybody keeps telling me "Why don't you just get an apartment?". So I've been deemed the crazy lady of the family. Thanks for being an inspiration!
Wish my wife could understand this
Please chronicle your build journey! If you do, comment back with your channel name. I’d love to follow and see what you do. Good luck crazy lady 🤓 I’m rooting for you!
Everybody tries to validate their just “rent” something small or a small mortgage etc concept, let me tell you there’s nothing like paid for land, and building as you go, the feeling of accomplishment and the freedom of no payments! It feels amazing
Do it you will be better off. Do it without no electricity just a wood stove
@@bobbywren123 Mine would understand it if the cabin looked and functioned like a 4-star hotel. So, I know what you mean!
“You can nail a lot of boards together for $600/mo” your grandpa is a wise man, keep up the good work
That's gonna stick with me when I go to buy the lumber. 👍🏽
Μan you are great i enjoy everything in you video the vie the build even the way you talk great jod man
I can’t tell you how much over enjoyed watching you build this cabin from start to finish 😊 I’m a city boy knows nothing about building but I’d sure like to have a cabin like that for myself 👍👍👍
So, I know it may sound weird, but me and my father have been just going in the woods and making cabins for anyone to use at least a few times every year for the last 3 years. It’s hard work, but also a good bond for me and him, as well as the community. We don’t know much, but we do know one thing: this country needs more generosity!
I like the idea. How rural are you? I ask because it's hard to find land that doesn't have an owner in many areas.
Great idea, good job you kind people are doing. I bet you get more out of it than you give. And you give lots.
Yes what’s the cost and are you near NC?
that's awesome dude
yeah, i’ve been wanting to do this, but how do you find the land? do you purchase it?
I have lived totally off grid since 2015. I built my own cabin in the mountains of WV. Watching your video I learned so much. I hope things are going well for you. God's Speed!
Well you arent off the internet grid it seems. Congrats on living wild.
@@Shep01 local library, friends, cafe, Starbucks in town. Many options Dave
Not totally off the grid eh? Hahha
I don't think I've ever enjoyed a video this much, we just built a house on 20 acres and would LOVE to add something like this in our back wooded land but no way I could get it done like you did. Wow.
Damn not even using gloves when messing with the insulation what a GOAT 😂
I remember watching this video on TV with my grandpa. He had been a hard working man throughout his entire life and he always loved nature. He really enjoyed watching this with me and said that he admired you a lot for building this cabin and wished that there would be more hard working men like you. Good job sir, whenever I want to remember my grandpa I come back to this video.
that's a beautiful memory
You and Brooke are the best!!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video made me feel so relaxed. I felt my mind completely turn off while watching. Thank you so much for recording all of this. I seriously enjoyed it 😄😄😄
I couldn't have put it better myself.
Me too 😊
I love the ring/echo of the hammer when you are laying down nails! Peaceful, yet lonely! Maybe that's why I love it!
Thats a poetic observation.....it's about perfect
I’m watching every single video this gentleman has made as the amount of effort time and love he pours into them for us is amazing and I am so grateful!
I learn so much and I learn “ this is one way to do it “
You’re so authentic and lovely
Thank you 🙏🏼
I can honestly say I can not remember watching something I enjoyed as much as this video for a very long time. What an enviable experience. You are blessed among men, sir.
*The fact that you just woke up one morning and built this with your own hands and no help, it’s absolutely astounding!* Fascinating to watch you work! You should be very proud, it would take me 100 years to figure out something like this 😅🤔😊

Next year i've been tasked with building a patio/deck for myself and my partners humble abode, came across this... i believe this is the real american dream
I'm 78 and I am in my fifth year building my rather ambitious 20'×20' cabin with a second floor attic, no blueprints! I'm finishing the kitchen now. I had a heavy wall to lift, so I used a pulley system. The wall was fastened at one end, and a counter weight on the other end. I got to try it on one wall section, and then a friend showed up to help on the rest!
This is the video that made me decide I wanted to learn how to build things. I am a month into a job as a framer/carpenter and I have never had more fun at work. It’s nice watching this video again and actually understanding what I’m watching
Can you make this type houae then please contact me.
I love to try to do things on my own, even if I screw it up I just try something else.
My only regret is this video being only about 40 minutes. This was so soothing and relaxing. I enjoyed every minute of it! 😁❤
I absolutely felt the same, absolutely lovely and I kind of felt sad when the video finished. I would have loved watching for some more time, nice project, well put together, congrats
Man you are one hell of a carpenter, very nice work!
Thanks
I enjoy watching you work. You are making it look so easy like a dance. I see how precise and tight your insulation fits ❤
So I’m sitting here, doing some sewing, while also listening to videos. I always have continuous play on while do a repetitive task. At first I was totally confused as to why the algorithm chose your video for me,…but I’m so GLAD it was! This is absolutely outside what I would normally chose to watch but I wish I had of came across your channel a lot sooner. Listening to talk so passionately and with such a positive attitude was so comforting and relaxing. I’ve found myself in a bit of a funk lately and have had this dark cloud of negativity the seems to follow me everywhere. Ive tried different things to bring me back to the world of positivity but nothing has helped. But after watching, mostly listening, to your video I honestly feel better then I have in months. You have no idea how much I’ve been trying to find even just a glimpse of some light at the end of the tunnel and now I do. Your attitude is so awesome, thank u! Oh if I could have reached into the screen to help you with the (pain in the ass lol) task of putting up the first wall I totally would have!! I was helping u mentally Lol😊
That was nice of you you tell them and the rest of KRplus about your current struggles and how this video helped you even if it’s only a small amount. Giving credit where credit is due. Take care out there stranger.
Yeah! I agree! I was egging him on going, come on- you can do it! Brilliant! It made my day as well!
i totaly agree
41 minutes, 20 seconds of pure, relaxing bliss. Just what I needed to end out a stressful year. Thank you, talented builder/creator. Thank you.
I know right! First video of the year for me, and I've made the right choice.
Well said .......
What a great, beautiful tutorial. Loved ever bit of it. I’m 71 and you made it look like I could build it. 😊. Loved your technique.
Thanks for taking us along my Friend... I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. Hard work
I came across this video by accident. I started watching, and I COULD NOT stop watching.
This was so relaxing and satisfying to watch. Loved seeing this no nonsense, practical aspect to building a cabin. On To Part 2!
Right on! love this
.... you stole my comment before I could post it ... oh well thanks ..... no intention of building a thing here though but enjoyed this man's zeal for constructing that captivating little cabin ......
same happened to me just awesome !!
I have always seen myself as one with a short attention span. I always seem to skip around videos to see parts I want to and what not. But there is something about documenting the outdoors, and building something with ones hands, that just takes me to a different place. I watched the whole 40 minute videos without thinking about clicking off and watching something else once. I would like to thank you for the incredible job that you’ve done on the cabin, and on the video. Your cinematography is outstanding. The subtle music in the background, and the cinematic shots of the nature around you really tie the whole thing together. Also the occasional story here and there are really something special. I hope the cabin serves you well and houses many good memories.
Wow...I really thought this video was only 16 minutes but it sucked me in! I can't believe how much videos like these can actually calm my heartbeat!
Couldnt have said it better myself. I totally cannot watch long videos. I watched this whole thing and did not skip a second or pause once. WOW
That sitting there, preparing for round two with the first wall. Man, I felt that lol
Didn't fast forward a min. Very entertaining, relaxing. Great job 👏
This is Discovery Channel level quality video making. I would easily watch a show about this kind of stuff all day. You just got yourself a new subscriber, Mr. Bushradical.
I'm an engineer, so I'd love to actually build a cabin similar to this instead of doing calculations in an office all day. Something about using your hands to actually make something just feels right.
Isn’t engineering similar to woodworking? Also, is engineering similar to something like carpentry as well?
@@GAMELORD1308 It is. Unfortunately in school we don't learn any of the hands on stuff. I can tell you all about the tensile and compressive strength of wood or any other material and how thick a beam needs to be to support "x" amount of weight, but the actual installation of the beam and how to use all of the tools is not covered. Most engineers are "self taught" in the hands on portion because we like it and that's what drove us to engineering in the first place, but there is no guarantee an engineer will know how to use every tool or know the tricks of the carpentry trade. I really like thermodynamic systems, and that's what I specialize in (think rockets and internal combustion engines) so other than the basics, woodworking is a very foreign topic to me. I know I could learn it, and that's part of the reason I'm watching these videos. To learn tips and tricks and expand my knowledge!
You would probably love the video of Dick Proenneke building his log cabin in alaska, very similar style of video to this. Its called "Alone in the wilderness" not sure if its on KRplus or not but i Highly recommend it
@@GAMELORD1308 As an engineer, you've got 1/2 of it done already!
What is the size of the cabin ?
This video was so satisfying to watch. Cold weather and a safe, warm place to snuggle up in….this is one of the most hearty, content feelings in the world. I’d love to see a follow up video, once you get the cabin filled with furniture, just getting to see you enjoy the place for a day and night.
It is full what more does he need?
Meg, if you get the chance pop over to Brooke’s (Bushradical’s wife) channel ‘Girl in the Woods’ and watch the video ‘Spend the night with me-blizzard at the cabin’. You’ll understand what I mean. Unless you’re here mainly for the practical reasons of how to build, which is fair enough.
Satisfying to watch... makes me appreciate all that goes into the process.
This was really enjoyable to watch from start to finish ,I was rootin for ya to raise up the wall in the first go ,but you got it up safely which is most important ,much respect from Trinidad and Tobago
Dave, you are truly blessed to have the health and knowledge to build a cabin, let alone the property and means to purchase all of the building materials!

Cos it all cost money to do this. Otherwise everyone would do this
Using the piece of 2x4 to leverage the floor board in to place was one of the coolest construction hacks I have seen in a while.
Thanks
Best off grid cabin build video ever loved it.
Retiring from the military in about six months and I’m truly inspired and super interested in doing what you’re doing. Thank you for this!
Congrats, brother!
Along with the actual process of the project, enjoyed the heck out of your positive attitude and narration mixed with light instrumental music and the sounds of work, fire and nature!
In UK, we tend to use sheeps wool as insulation, its the warmest, cheapest!, & its got lots of lanolin in the wool, making it 100% waterproof. Enjoy your chat, no lots of music or stupid laughter in the back ground, one of the best to date to view.
Me and my family built a quality 25 X 25 wrap around deck on our land. My parents decided to live there for retirement years. They added another 15 fett for a 3 rd bedroom with closet and a mud/heater room. It was one of the coolest things I ever did. We used the post foundation. I used mahogany floors and finish work was a bit more pricey but used bat and board Amish cut siding and structure were beams from Amish too. It was a beautiful day raising the walls. We had 20+ family and friends there to help. All our friends pitched in! It’s a beautiful cabin on 62 acres at the foothills of Allegheny mountains in WNY! Really nice area. 15 min from Lake Erie. We have a septic that could be used for a couple homes. And the well is sufficient too. I would love to live there but the snows too much for me. My bros use tractor for removal. And just bought a large mower/ plow a couple years ago so they didn’t need to use the farm tractor. I see your place is an enjoyable one too. I wish we went ahead with the wood burner! I love a nice wood burning stove. What a lovely place to call your own! ❤
Is it weird that I found this to be so peaceful and satisfying to watch. Would love a place like this
Yes it is weird
Yes it is weird

Great camera work and the subtle inserts of tools and birds and vistas, simply genius. Also the old tools worn by time bring their old world charm to this project. Also for me one the greatest bonuses, no cussing, blasphemy or disrespect. That is even after your Herculean attempt to move the first panel came to naught but then again brain beats brawn every time.

Your "bit off more than I can chew" part reminds me of a time when I was working on a heavy Inline 4 and removing it from the frame while the bike was still somewhat assembled. I didn't realize how heavy the engine was until it was partly out of the frame and teetering/about to fall off and I was at such an awkward angle, I either had to give up, or let it drop. I let it drop. Luckily everything was fine lol. My hat is off to you sir, I thought building a motorcycle was hard work, this is a whole 'nother level.

Great job kid! My wife and I own 2 acres of land in the Allegheny mountains. I cheated a bit by parking a 36 ft RV on the land, but I built a canopy and deck around the RV. All pressure treated lumber. It looks amazing. I am a retired contractor of 45 years. I truly enjoyed watching you work. Thanks for the video. Gods best to you and yours.

I just complained on another guy's video that it was too long and full of fluff. Now I watched this entire video, fascinated from end to end.

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. I enjoyed it immensely.
I am going to attempt to spend my 600 s month the way you do.
This is probably the most straight-forward and easy-to-understand instructional that I've seen on cabin/tiny house building. Usually these types of videos have some combination of bad camera angles, coupled with other critical details missing. Not this one. Just about every last detail is clearly explained, and for those that are not (e.g. wood stain), he directs you to where you can find that info. I'll be using this as a guide for my cabin build. Bravo, and thanks!
Thanks Gordon
My wife and I live on two acres of land in New Zealand. After watching your videos I'm thinking of building a little cabin on our back paddock near some pine trees. Thank you Dave for laying out step by step how to do it. However it will take me weeks rather than days! God bless.
I think every man wants to build their own homestead just how they like it. That's a simple, meaningful purpose.
The random algorithms brought me to you today, and I'm all the better for it! You are truly a skilled master of your craft, and I wish I had a fraction of this talent. I feel this is a lost art that people need to bring back to the forefront! Thanks for this awesome video!
