Brownstown, Indiana here. I came to this channel for the Cabin. Stayed for everything else. You've opened my eyes to the possibilities. You also opened them to the world of functional antiques. Not just something one buys for decorations. Lastly, I didn't realized where you were in Ohio. I've passed through there in my semi many times.

Welcome my friend. And thank you everything you do out on the road!

Indiana here. Survival mode is a real thing. Moving forward and breaking free from the past can be difficult. Looking to the future and fulfilling your dreams gives a true purpose. My dream is Alaska. Hopefully making my first step this spring. Spent a long time in survival mode. Very good video for anyone going through "stuff". Enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing.

Howdy brother- living in a log home is a chosen lifestyle. Since I teach how to build log cabins I will travel to other areas to build. Right now I’m 190 miles from home building a cabin for people who want their dream to become a reality. Since I have those skills I can do that for those who don’t have the skills and at the same time I can share on our KZread channel the information needed to do that for which I’m very thankful. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and life style you have chosen. God’s blessings to you

I live in a log cabin. I have to explain to people that the mass of the logs keeps the house warm in winter. In the summer keeps the house cooler. I live in Olmsted Twp, Ohio.

I’m in Ancient Epidavros just in the Peleponeses in Greece but returning (in theory) to France in the spring where I’ll have to find myself a small place to live. Don’t know where or what. I have very little money and the idea of living well with little is immensely appealing! I love your videos, thank you 🙏

Thank you to each and everyone for your comments and letting me know your home location!!

I am from Ukraine, Odessa and I regularly watch your wonderful videos, very sincere! Thanks for sharing, you have a beautiful cabin, and i really hope that I will live to see the moment when I can build such a wonderful house for myself. Good luck to you buddy, do not stop please!

Thank you for your comment, it is feedback like this that will keep me going!

from Manila, Philippines! I'm rather young so I don't have any specific memories about natural light, I grew up with harsh fluorescent lights and TVs and Radios blaring out around the home, but yet I still feel a connection, a nostalgia for an experience I've never had. candle light and a crackling hearth is my dream.

Tuning in from the Netherlands, I collect and use more antiques than modern stuff because it's beautiful, durable and makes things slow down a bit.

From NW Wyoming near Jackson. Your statement that whatever you spent on the cabin you'd have otherwise spent on therapy is absolutely true. We bought property and spent the past three years building a small frame house that we absolutely love, and the wonder of it was that in living our lives with purpose we avoided 95 percent of the angst that gripped the country over viruses, lockdowns, and shortages. Our house, while simple and rustic in style, is modern construction. Our next project is renovating a tiny log cabin as a writer's retreat for my husband that will double as a guest cabin. I love what you've done with yours.

Jerry we live in Fromberg, MT and we love the natural light. My husband was admiring your candle holders, he is a blacksmith, using a coal forge. I wish I could share photos of his work; he made me a gorgeous candle chandelier with copper wax catcher trays. We've lived in our 1910 farmhouse for 23 yrs and we are still renovating it back to that era. We are almost there; my husband is currently smithing me an iron banister with wood handrail. Our farmhouse has the original windows, with wavey glass, the previous owner added aluminum storms, but we still feel the air coming in, when cold, we simply close the insulated drapes.

From De Soto Kansas. I loved seeing the various lights you have. Until I was seven years old we had only kerosene lamps for light. I still heat with a wood stove. You truly have God's Blessings and I do too.

What great atmosphere for good conversation or even just being alone and reading or drawing......this is just great Jerry....thank you for sharing

Oxana from Kazakhstan . I love your channel and your cabin is amazing!. We are looking to build the cabin in Alaska , I hope it will be as beautiful and cosy as yours. Thank you so much and looking forward for a new video!

Greetings from southern British Columbia. My husband and I have been watching your channel for about 2 months now and look forward to each and every episode. Although we'll never live in a log cabin we can live vicariously through you! We grew up close to the city of Vancouver but moved to a small town (pop 2800), in the country, 31 years ago to raise our family. Since then I embraced and learned the homesteading lifestyle. To date I can make sourdough bread, soap, spin/weave, dutch oven cook, make cheese, can/preserve, and make beer/wine to name a few. I sew on an antique Singer treadle sewing machine. I come from British heritage, going back hundreds of years, so I don't have an ounce of homesteading blood in my veins. I just decided one day when the world crashes I want to be self-sufficient and know the homemaking skills that the pioneers had. Thank you so much for your content.

Let me just say that as a guy from the Kansas Oklahoma border. You have inspired me to build my own cabin for me and my family to live in in the country. I've been cutting down our Eastern red cedars like crazy and hope to construct as nice of a house as you have. I run a KZread channel myself mainly focused on 18th and early 19th century, black powder, firearms and way of life of that time and for some reason one of the biggest polls for me is the picture of the old beam walls with all of the old flintlocks hanging up

Ukraine, Kyiv. 30 min ago KZread have recomended your video where you talk about how you build this cabin, a watch it with pleasure, and then went to see some more of your videos! Great conten, looks true, like life. This natural light has a calming effect!

What a beautiful and fascinating video. Lighting is such an interesting topic and quite possibly the most taken-for-granted modern “luxury”. It’s mostly impossible to function (or survive) without light, but thankfully easy to acquire. And maybe that’s what makes natural light so intriguing and attractive, in that in its simplest form it is often the most pure. I’m from Lisbon, Ohio!

Watching from Louisville, Kentucky but originally from Manila, Philippines. My last apartment had a fireplace and I loved sleeping on the couch listening to nothing but the crackling flames.

Hello.me and my wife we are from Greece and start watching you before some months and we like your cabin and actually give is many ideas for our house project.thank you for your time and your videos.

Two Cabins built from one Dog Trott Cabin built in the early 1800’s. Off Grid fully functional cabins. Built fully by family only. Wonderful experience.

South Louisiana here. Cajun country❤ Laissez les bons temps rouler!!

Southeastern Ontario here, your cabin reminds me of our family deer camp. Cook stove, no hydro, spring water we drink from.

Susan from Pennsylvania! I look for your videos weekly! Your content is wholesome and so intriguing. Thank you for taking the time to share with us! I feel so relaxed watching them all. The most amazing videos I’ve ever watched was following you build your cabin!

Outskirts of Seattle. Hoping to learn as much as I can for self sufficiency within my family. There is a reason God made families.

Well I'm in Martinsburg West Virginia and you said you're a Lisbon Ohio so you're not too far from me. I love your cabin. It's like my dream house and these angle lamps. Oh how beautiful. But yes candlelight, that's how Norman Rockwell first started painting. I'm glad you're on this journey and I'm glad you're sharing it with us and and the video looks great with your natural lighting. Those angle lamps are beautiful. Now that you are getting to a place of Peace within yourself, by a Bible and put it on that table and make peace with God too. And you'll have everything. 🙏 Unless you've already done that. Thank you. Thank you and I will continue watching because it's very interesting and amazing. 😊

Hi Jerry, south uk 🇬🇧 here. The dream indeed and what a wonderful dream it is, what a wealth of knowledge and wisdom you have and impart on to others. It’s always a pleasure to view what you do and have achieved. Very inspiring Q&A especially what you shared about time and its value! I’ve often wondered about lighting a cabin too, as without constant maintenance the logs loose the brightness, dull and grey making for a difficult space to brighten. Thanks for the viewing pleasures and delights, not just the cabin but other endeavours too.

I love watching these videos. I reside in Kansas City but I spend every moment I can at my little house out at Truman lake.

Jackson county Ohio here. I’m an ex-offgridder, not even solar panels for over two years. Just my wife and our teenage daughter. We understand fully how candle and lamp life feels. It was a memory that we’ll cherish forever. Especially those long winter evenings, shortened only by games of Scrabble, Rummy, Trivial Pursuit and darts. We read a lot of books and ruined our eyes but it was enlightening. We are about to embark on another log cabin build, our third and my last. We aren’t going big or completely authentic (our view demands a lot of windows) but it will traditional with, once again, no electric. I hope that when we’re done, you’ll come visit some time.

@@logcabinlifestyle, we moved to Montana for a time. It never occurred to us that people still lived totally off grid until we saw how many people were doing so in the mountains with absolutely no modern utilities, or at least the bare minimum. When we moved back to care for my parents, we were rather strapped so we tried it. If it wasn’t for my teenage daughter’s revolt, we might never have gotten electric again. Even now our electric is very limited. We are nearly 3/4 mile from our meter and have less than 90 volts at our house. Barely enough to run a pump on our well and then we have to turn off other things. We do have LP gas to heat our water and some of the cooking but we heat entirely with wood and do most of our cooking with wood. Also have an LP frig. We poop in an outhouse, so needless to say, we aren’t all that popular amongst our families, lol. Which is probably the biggest drawback to living this way. Oddly enough my “revolting” daughter, now lives just fifty yards or so away (sharing our limited electric with her) and is planning to get back off the grid as well. Anyway, love your channel brother. Keep it simple.

Well, I’m from Crawfordsville Indiana. I moved away at age 27. I’ve lived in Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, New York, Pennsylvania and now, good ole Lisbon, OH. I love it here, but definitely miss Tennessee. Nowhere exotic like Ireland or anything. You have the coolest things. Love your videos. Dimly lit is the best ever. Thank you and have a wonderful day🥰

Enjoy your channel’s content along with you being the host. I would not describe you as a “red neck”but more of a woodsman who lives in the village…the Johnny Appleseed of Columbia County! I tune in every week for my update on the cabin and Lisbon. The village and surrounding area has such a great history from the old canal to the Logtown Quarry to the old smelting furnaces to the village’s architecture! Alliance

Western Maryland here. Love your videos especially when Lavender and the kitties make an appearance. You are a blessing.

I grew up on the opposite end of ten acres from my grandparents in Washington state. My grandparents had no electric heat or running water. They had a tall hand pump out side that was used to carry water into the house for the day and a small hand pump on the porch just for needed. She cooked on a wood cookstove every day and they had a wood furnace to keep the house warm especially at night. My dad unhooked the furnace in our 3 bedroom trailer and put in a wood heat stove which is what we used for heat! I miss those days and really want to get back to them! I now live in Utah! I really enjoy your videos!!

I live in Ewing KY. I love your home and your way of life. Speaking of your way of life after divorce, my husband of fourth years passed away sixteen years ago and I can understand what you mean by having to find yourself people ask me when I am going to start dating, same answer everytime never he was my one I just have to choose each day to live and find something to make it to the next day Keep the videos coming, I really enjoy them Thank you for helping me have that good day . Much love to you

No grid power or water. We cook on the fireplace 3 seasons and outside June thru October usually. Lights come from candles, oil lamps and fireplace. It is truly a wonderful life. 😊

Howdy Sir! I'm sending thanks for your channel from down in Wilson County, Tennessee (one county east of Nashville). I really enjoyed the info on lighting! When you note that sharing your journey triggers memories in others, you are spot on! I volunteer at our local historical village and help run a local cast iron cooking club. Every time I show up in a public space and cook over fire, the memories of others flow like a river! Year over year I am fortunate to help school field trip kids learn about life in what we think of as the pioneer period here in Middle Tennessee. When I started out years back, I thought I'd tech it all out: videos, multimedia content, etc. But one day I just decided to start a fire in a firepit behond one of our village's cabins and cook some lunch for myself on the fire... I'd never seen kids and adults alike start sharing and asking questions like that! So many folks linger with me at the fire, sharing memories of when they were kids, or how grandparents did things, etc. All it takes is some firewood and a little bit of my time. Which, as you note, our time is never best defined in terms of money - I believe our time is best judged by our ability to create meaningful experiences for ourselves, our families, and for others. And time spent with you through your videos is always meaningful for me! Thanks again.

Am a retiree in California. I'm on grid but try to live as much off grid as I can. Knowing tough times are coming I live using as little of resources as I can to practice for when things get really bad (hoping that's far off). ie, bathe only once a week to save hot water gas heating costs, no hot water in sink but with plenty of soap to clean things. Cooking meals outdoors, haven't used stove for 2 years. Point is I have many candles and gallons of lamp oil but don't use it till it's the only thing left. So I'm with you to save all your resources and be very very prudent. I work hard always gathering and sawing wood to store as I heat only with woodstove. Haven't used HVAC in years either. I'm 68 and pretty arthritic and alone but I get my chores done every day! I think and value the same kind of living as you do. God bless everyone.
