This fall I built a small "Off Grid" Cabin in a remote section of wilderness near Lake Superior. This video shows that project from start to finish.

    I’m a 67-year-old woman. This time last year I built a shed pretty much on my own because of what I learned from you. The only help I needed was to raise the walls and my grandkids wanted to help me with the simple projects. They were pretty proud of their grandma. It felt so rewarding to know I finished the shed, it’s still standing (LOL), has no leaks and it looks good. I’m already thinking about another structure to build. Your wife Brooke inspires me. You teach me. I thank both of you so much!

Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

Like any good maker, it all seems to just happen, but so much goes into it, the doing, filming, editing and I always come away feeling similar to reading a good book, entertained as well as educated and those are two of my favorite things.

  • @starwarsfan5001

    @EarthSurferUSA My attitude is that you shouldn't confuse advancement with materialistic possession. And that if we deprogram the idea of a 5 bedroom 4 bathroom $900,000 dollar house being necessary to "advance" and begin to live modestly. We will shift our focus on the things that truly matter in this world. Whatever that may be in our own minds. Consumerism and being better than the person next to us has invaded the subconscious of a large portion of America as of late. Especially as technology advances. I think your misunderstanding of my point doesn't come from a position of misunderstanding itself. But possibly more from a confusion between the words "primative" and "minimalist" because my cabin is larger (35×30 with 9 foot ceilings and a loft and a 16×30 foot porch to be more precise. But I built it all on family land. I did it piecemeal, bit by bit, and I did it without taking out strenuous mortgages that will put me and my soon to be fiancé in debt for the next 30 years. I built bigger because we want children. I built with HVAC. Because I live in Texas and summers can be in excess of 100° for weeks on end. But my house is simple when compared to most homes. That doesn't make me a Neanderthal. It makes me and my wife to be people that understand that sometimes some cattle and a modest home with people that love you are more important than the price tag on the things around you. THAT is the direction my attitude is in.

    These cabin building compilation videos with your insightful voice-over are always a pleasure to come back to on occasion. They're very soothing and calming to watch and listen to, especially for when I have downtime in this stressful period of my life from roughly the beginning of 2019 until now. While I personally would never attempt or do something of this nature let alone achieve something of this magnitude and great on my own, I still enjoy learning about and observing people's various lifestyles and what they value and cherish in life, and your authenticity and rustic living has rubbed off on me in a positive way; appreciating the simple things in life and finding worth and use out of seemingly worthless objects and abandoned items. Also, I can relate to your disdain and reluctance towards the procedure of insulation; I dislike doing stuff that is mundane and tedious in life that is similar to what insulation is like for people in the construction and craftsmanship industries.

There’s something so relaxing in watching your progress on building this cabin. It’s truly a pleasure to see you enjoy the north woods in a way so many people wish they could these days. What a tremendous place to visit and stay far away from nosey neighbors, HOA’s telling you how to live and just listening to the sounds of those woods. I only hope you have access to a nice stream or spring fed lake with a bounty of freshwater game fish to harvest. God bless you and yours, sir.

    Dave, love your cabin builds especially your peaceful demeanor while doing so. I'm nearly 70 yo now and have built many structures in Colorado and New Mexico so I can relate to the pleasant atmosphere of building in the woods. Thanks for these builds of yours for my trip down memory lane. Keep up the fine work, sir, and say hi to Brooke for me.

I watched Brooke build her cabin and I love hers just as I'll love you cabin. A fire is nice on a cold snowy day. I watch your channel whenever your on and I watch Brookes channel also.

Thank you for all you do and everyone out there should consider volunteering with a local Habitat. It has been the most rewarding thing I have done in my life. I do time lapse videos of our build days and now if I would only post them on my channel, maybe more folks will get an idea of what it entails and come join in on the fun. Cheers
