Building a Simple Cozy Off Grid Winter Log Cabin (anyone can do this) - ASMR (Start-to-Finish)
Ойын-сауық
I build a super simple cabin on a very tight budget of just $7 using reclaimed materials and a few fasteners, bolts, threaded rod and a bit of hard work.
The small cabin is build from an a-frame template. It is very similar to a tent, but with solid back and front walls, with the tarp overlapping the frame. The tarp is also reused from bubble buildings such as soccer pitches and baseball diamonds. I really only spent money on the fasteners. A couple threaded rods, bolts, and some nails. I also use quite a few screws to hold down the floor which was reclaimed from palette wood, or skids.
I do not cut any live trees for this project, and am building in a replanted forest that was improperly managed for decades. My goal is to thin out the canopy of dead trees first, then cut out every other row to allow the forest to flourish and increase the tree diversity. Currently, all the trees in this forest are pines, and they don't allow any sunlight to reach the forest floor making it not very hospitable for forest critters.
Join us as we show you how to build a tiny cabin in the woods for a super low cost. All this can be done with a drill and screws, or a hammer and nails, a handsaw, circular saw, or chainsaw. We will also build a table, chair, and full bed!
The cabin sleeps 1 comfortably, but it's possible to get one more. If no stove is necessary, it's super easy to get one more person inside the tent, but there needs to be enough space behind the stove so the plastic doesn't melt.
If you decide to build this shelter, be sure to keep safety in mind and use a smoke detector.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

Best TV ON THE WEB!
We all just appreciate the content this man and his crew makes its just a masterpiece imagine what's he's gonna doing the future 💛...
To my Canadian brothers to the north…….you’ve done it once again, another great build! I totally enjoy your channel.
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete kzread.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
Always watching because I know I won’t be disappointed about what creation you decide to or what ever adventure you decide to take us on it is going to be amazing. From getting a chicken house, or getting pigs and making a pig pen to building cabins in the woods, it’s going to be beautiful and amazing! So just keep us guessing and keep the surprises coming!
ASMR isn’t for you brother! You and your crew are hilarious and we sit every week and laugh our asses off watching your content! I’ll watch anything you put up but we love the comedy that comes with your builds/projects! Thanks for all you do and keep up the great content! 🇺🇸💪🏼🇨🇦

Thanks Joe! Don't worry these re-cuts are just recaps to go to a larger audience. I'm working on a project right now...
I'm amazed by the mileage you've gotten out of that salt tarp! Recycling at it's finest!
The ASMR was amazing! I hope the cabin went up as easily as you made it appear. Thanks for saying anyone could do this. Don is such a great friend - especially since he's there because he wants to be. You're helping him be relevant as he gets older. He obviously loves working outside, with his hands, and the challenge of it all! Thanks again!
If anyone had access to a standing dead forest, a 20 foot piece of all thread, and a handy helper like Don, yes, anyone could do that...lol That cabin looks comfy, have you ever been to Missouri? 😆 😂 Love what ya'll are doing ❤️

The sun through the trees at 4:35 is just beautiful. I really enjoyed this build.
Pretty great way to use up all the dead and fallen trees and throw away tarp material!
Thank you for doing a little thinning in that biological desert. A lot more of those trees need to come down.

Solid nut and bold frame construction...take care.
I really love winter content! rewatching the whole process was a blast
Quiet fun!!!
Seems like you keep pulling fire places out of nowhere,. Awesome.
That came out really nice great job, be safe and have fun
when im older i wanna buy tons of land and build things like this on it for people in need to live in. it could be like a little cozy village or something.
Great info. Thanks
I've tried and tried but I just don't like ASMR. Still watched it farther than any other ASMR video.
I loved this build but I missed you. I enjoy your chatter, you make me laugh. Hope next video you narrate more. ❤
I am just so happy to see Howell this turned out looks cozy and comfy great job
Good video man
Those wood cracks 😊
Best ever!
It's 94 degrees today (May 22) in Massachusetts. That snow looks mighty good right now.
Let build a village with Kevin and Don now without words. Full Stop!
Absolutely awesome 😎
Great build!
Cozy. Don is pretty useful to have around :)
Great show thank you guys keep them coming

Nice job on the ASMR build. It is fun to do something different. I may try it on my channel.
Well done.
Cool 😎

I liked that 😁👍
Damn right fellas
Don's a beast 💪
Great content. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family and friends. ❤️ 😄
Have watched this before and fun to watch. Anyone can do this?...doubtful!
My Favorite part is when you guys are sitting outside staring at the fire 🔥 (no talking) just blank starring like... ok now what?? 🤷♂️🤷♂️ (18:02)
When are you going to make a dance/disco studio for your wife and daughter? ❤️🤪
I always hear how forrests are maintained by cutting down some of the planted trees. We have saved grounds to be repurposed as landfills 20 years ago. By planting trees row by row. I don’t know yet what kind of trees they are. But I would love your support if we ever come to know and start a campaign to let the youth learn how to build cabins and survival shelters in these ones. Is there a theory behind the madness something that js researched?
👍
Hey. Is Don still single? He's impressing me with those pipes. ( Just had to ) Another one knocked out of the park...
Your cutting my all your trees down
👍👍👍
Once you go white you never go back ? I finally got a white tarp and now that I used it I will never go back to green,blue,or drown everything is so bright und the whit tarp .👍
Hey neighbor, are you guys ok? The storm that hit us was nothing like the derecho that headed your way and I heard five people died 🥺. I hope you're family and friends are all safe and that your structures were undamaged. ✌💜🐖💨

You’ve built an entire village on your land. Will you ever open it up to the public, as in an Air B&B ?
I love the build. But personally would never use a white tarp. Because it offers no camouflage. I would instead use green or brown
Interesting project, a little weird no one speaking.
"Anyone can do this!" > gigantic drill > 4 foot drillbit sir.
Not into the ASMR stuff Stopped watching your brother's channel for the same reason I like your witty banter way better Kev
Yep, that wood heater that you used wasn't suitable for much cooking, but you use what you csn scrounge I guess.
Is that really may 21/22? You seem to be a bit cooler than we are in Montreal today.
“Anyone can do this.” But not without Don’s help!

Are those McNuts? 🤣 And why an in-swing door? For the bears or for less space?
What is keeping the HOT Stovepipe from setting the Plastic Roof on Fire?? All I saw was a Hole cut through the Plastic and the Stovepipe pushed through it, then you made a Fire in the Stove. Did I Miss Something??
Kevin I love your videos but the silence I hope it’s not a new thing Thanks for sharing
where did Don sleep? It looks like a one person cabin.

The no speaking in the video is interesting, the sounds of the construction are neat, and way better than a wigger rap or ghetto rodent rap blasting in the video. How much did the fireplace warm up the tarp cabin?

@@ModernSelfReliance thanks Kevin - I binge watched ur vids yesterday so I noticed you explaining that in the other vid. I made a primitive double wattle and daub hut using local hay (scythe cut) and willow logs - gable roof (or whatever it's called) - I took some photos. It was designed on an 1800 BCE archaeological dig from Germany. Turns out the insulation value was not matched again till 1990s insulation standards!! Only my walls don't really attach and one's leaning - so... hahahahah. It's 10 x 12 and so no permit. I got composting toilets - my 2nd one is on the way - from "Toilets for People" - an engineer who works in "Developing" countries also on toilets. I'm fascinated, like yourself, by the housing crisis and permits, etc. for micro-units (I didn't even know that term till a couple days ago!). I used to live in SROs in Twin Cities, Minnesota - they are very hard to find these days. Single Room Occupancy. Technically a "rooming unit" instead of a "dwelling unit" and so a campsite is a "camping unit" as a "dwelling site" instead of a permanent dwelling unit. Of course it is illegal for people to live off their own land now - as native indigenous peoples did, our ancestors, for 225,000 years. hahahahaha. So... to own a vehicle you need a "permanent address" with "facilities" as per the International Building Code and without a vehicle it's difficult to have a job, etc. Of course vehicles are destroying life on Earth via Co2 emissions being 100 times greater than the background rate of 12 gigatons per 200 years. Hilarious that all these high tech builders are not keen on our situation of imminent "biological annihilation" as googlescholar calls it. Well thanks for your response. First structure I threw up was a tipi and it's still standing after 7 years - last I checked - we had a tornado nearby recently with flooding so who knows? But I didn't "strip off the bark" - kind of doubt traditional tipis have the bark stripped off. It's willow so if anything I would want it to grow back? hahahah. I call it the "insane clown" tipi named after Drumpf of course. Yeah I have just enough room to stand up and lie down in the hypotenuse of the clay base - I put in clay mud walls with straw bales for insulation - and a French drain tube just outside the runoff to prevent flooding. The squirrels lived there until the Lynx ate the squirrel family - now just one squirrel survives. The pine marten got eaten also. The lynx got scared away from the neighbor to the south being a real carpenter building his property for permanent dwelling unit. hahahaha. thanks
What size is that tarp?

I’m a bit late, but he’s helping this forest by thinning out all those dead and dying trees. He mentions in at least one previous video that this forest was not managed properly by whoever previously owned the land. This forest is a monoculture where the trees are planted too close together on purpose. They are meant to be thinned out after a time.

You know, you should invest in a wood chipper instead of burning all of that. You'd have mulch for years.
Cat got your tongue?
Great video as usual but I am not a fan of ASMR!
Hahaha good video. Silent is ok...but...how can anyone do stuff without grunts or stuff like when you hit the wrong nail...😬or drop it...🤪still it was great entertainment
Love your channel but ahhhhhh man don’t start doing the ASMR stuff like your bro.
hmm i wonder what amenities this cabin will have! maybe a bed? a chair? a table? a woodstove? that sounds about right. let me know when you really step it up and build a diy bushcraft zach fowler grade religious indoctrination chamber.
