Building a tiny cabin in the woods, with a custom wood stove. This was the first time I've ever attempted anything like this.

My brother had a Parsons Russell, he would stick around us when we went into the woods, always believed him to be a "people dog." He didn't like the noise of power tools, but would stay around instead of going exploring on his own. Miss you pal. Like that you used a battery operated saw & drill, the lack of an internal combustion engine really made the video easier to watch. After you get the roof weatherproofed, consider putting some extensions on the bed frame for an outdoor bench or cabinet, or firewood lean to.
I have to say this is one of few Cabin builds I've enjoyed watching. When I built mine back in 1986 I put those Hinges on the Inside making it harder for someone to enter and finally used a Galvanized Lock system against thieves. I use to leave the door unlocked but I had a theft problem. The thief was eventually arrested when Deer Camera's became available in 1999. Try a Peppermint Mixture sprayed on the outside of the door and inside to keep bugs at bay. 1 quart distilled water, one cup Vodka and 30 drops of Peppermint Oil. Mix well and then use a cheap Spray bottle to spray.

I always see people make videos of them building structures like this out in the woods, and NOBODY talks about the downsides like bugs and spiders and whatnot. They all just make it look as picturesque and perfect as possible. Very refreshing to hear someone talk about their shelter honestly Keep on keeping on. And careful, don't get caught by DNR or the like.
Going thru some mental hell’th issues atm. These build videos are like medicine, it’s weird but I know I’m not alone.

love the idea that you left a note for however finds your shelter. Never know if it could save someone like in a jam. I make hunting stacks about the same way. I don't even lock them and leave a ledger in them. I'm always surprised when I go to one and find a new log in one for someone that took refuge in it. in this day and age they even leave a email address. it warms my heart when someone leaves a message that they stayed in one on a bad day just to make it throw the day. made many new friends this way. They've even shared their harvest with me because they hug out for a few hours in one of my natural blinds. Heck I've even recruited some of them to help make new ones

so on the roof to help waterproofing, make a mixture of the dirt (make mud) and mix in any loose gravel you can find and since you have lichens, mix those in as well. Make it about 6" thick and cover with a thin coating of the downed branches. The mud/gravel acts like a cement, the lichens grow and stabilize, the smaller branches reduce erosion. Nice job on the cabin.

You will come to regret not peeling the logs. The bugs under the bark will actually make noise during the night and it can keep you awake. I have built several cabins out on my property and my first one I did not peel the logs and I could hear the bugs too. I would suggest next time try to make a bed of small gravel under the bottom logs which will help defuse water down through the base and help keep the logs from rotting. As for shingles try buying a Froe for making shingles. Its cheap and will pay for it's self.
You are an artist with a chainsaw. Your hinges are brilliant. I especially loved the end note of leaving a log in a bottle for anyone else who might come along and benefit from your work! And bravo to your dog! Well done.

The irony of simultaneously encouraging people to get out there and live their lives by rewarding for spending time on social media is pretty great.
That's a cool cabin. Good job with a few modern tools to do some old timey work! One small suggestion if you live in a really cold area, a longer stove pipe will take advantage of heat that is otherwise lost. If you run it up to the ceiling and across to the other side it will put out much more heat!

I liked the suggestions of running the pipe across the room. But keep it low to the floor to maximize the heat exchange since heat rises, and then run the vertical pipe up and along the inner wall and have it exit prior to the ceiling/roof - on the side wall to a standard vertical pipe with a vented cover to keep the rain and snow out, plus birds and insects. My Wife had a 10' W x 12' L x 14' H Barn style shed by Tuff Shed built for me to work on my projects and "writings" and I needed to design a heating unit to keep it warm during the winter and have utilized both the propane tank in 5 and 10 gal. as well as a 30 gal "oil' drum as the burners/stoves with great success for each one since the total area is only about 1,600 cubic feet since it has a Gambrel style roof. I use 12" x 24" cast paver with aluminum foil between the floor and the walls to keep the heat transference to a minimum and also on the outside surface of the pavers to reflect the heat into 6he interior of the shop. Finally, I just found a discarded bbq/smoker and intend to tie it in to the heating system I now have since I can use it to cook with too. Hope this helps someone with a solution for a heating unit for their shop or maybe even thier home in an emergency and the videos are here on You-Tube if you need them.
Clay, Mortar or a Wood ash cement could work to fill the roof gaps. Debarking the timber and heating them in a fire will help reduce the sap drip. Great little video enjoyed it.

Clay sounds more user friendly, natural. But digging to find enough clay is work.
Not bad for your first cabin. It will work in a pinch. Some suggestions: for roof shingles (you will need a ton of them) cut logs to 12-16inch long using the straightest and without knots, split them and try splitting every 1/2 inch creating shingles. Secure 1-2 inch diameter straight sticks perpendicular to your structural roof logs and attach shingles with a single dowel to those cross pieces. This will add insulation and should shed the majority of the water. Try stripping all the bark off the logs because that is where the bugs live and the moisture builds up. Also once the bark is stripped off char the bottom row of logs to help prevent rot and bugs. Good idea of using the rocks around the stove to store and regulate the heat
Oh yeah, I wanted to say how much I appreciate your decision to go biodegradable. It's really ugly to come across old wreckage in a wild place. someone below mentioned using waxed cotton canvas. That might be a good material on top of the roof and on the door to keep the skeeters out.

Here is what i would have done differently, i would have made it a few feet larger in all directions cause that thing looks a smidge too small to be useful, i would have done the same thing you did with the bed, but instead of a bed i would make that basically a log floor thats a slight distance above the ground, and those same logs can pop out front for a little porch/bench to sit on. And finally i would have used all that pine straw for a thatch roof on top of those roof logs, that should let a lot less water through and last a long time, hope this was helpful

Precious 💕 dog he loves his owner, I'm gonna give this video a huge like.
nice cabin. I love how you used the propane tank. I have an old one that no one will refill. I might try a woodstove like yours. Cabin looks cozy.
Enjoyed watching you make the cabin with your little assistant!!!You are a clever guy😉
Cool project! I love this type of construction. A tip for next time, make all notches downward facing. Upward facing notches catch the rain, like pouring into a bowl, promoting rot and shortening the life of the joint. Downward facing notches are like turning the bowl upside down, allowing the rain to shed and run off the curved surface.

Well that makes sense, I never would have thought of that. You might be a genius 😁 Thanks and God bless you.

In response to the notches comment he did halving joints 1 up 1 down can you elaborate on how you mean
The rocks around the stove is very well thought of, once they get hot would keep the cabin warm. good job
Very well done on the cabin it looks so cozy, on the roof you could make overlapping boards would keep it drip free or at least pine bows on top to prevent the rain from coming in, add a tiny window on the opposite wall from the stove for ventilation or fresh air
I can not be the only one sitting here watching this new episode of Swiss Family Foresty like 😲. You are such a humble Jack of All Trades! Was this just public land or did you buy yourself a little parcel? This was so awesome. There seems to be nothing you can't do. Hope you are feeling closer to 100% than the 80% you have been at. Awesome addition to your normal content! ✌🏽
I really enjoyed this video. The cabin turned out great. The wood stove and the door hinges were genius! 👌 It was super cute to see how you and Rocko interact - she is no doubt , a great companion.
loved the stones around the heater, and a grill incorperated into the build over the horizontal piece of chimney would work a treat !!!
Great cabin! Love your dog so cute especially when you closet the door and he was like where did you go?! Lol
Seen a lot of log shelters on YT and honestly, this is one of the most innovative and aesthetically pleasing of the bunch. Really love the door. Hard to believe you have no experience at this. Thanks for the good vid.

Such a beautiful video Foresty. On so many levels. I'm hesitant and reluctant to say this is your best video ever but I want you to know it is very. very. good. different content, different production. something, but its very good. I very much appreciate the work you put in into building your structure. I very much appreciate the work you put into filming the process. You have ever right to be proud of what you built, its a beautiful structure, its a beautiful process. thank you for sharing. Thank you, continue the good work

Forresty Forrest he’s our man, he can build a cabin like nobody can!! Great job! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
Mesmerising to watch someone with skill, confidence & purposefulness create a little work of art as though it was something he did every day ...!
This cabin is amazing. I also will sleep better knowing Snow White and the 7 dwarfs will be out of the elements. Good job forest!
The hinges for the door are simply brilliant! Best example of bushcraft ingenuity I've seen on KZread. You've got a new subscriber!
