Many people dream of breaking away from the 8-5 work life with a two day weekend left but to do it all over again. Cousin Ryan has shown us all it’s possible to re define a new way of life on this earth maybe one in which your imagination and creativity take over the worlds idea of how your life should be. We need more people like Ryan that demonstrate for society that life is what you choose to make it. At the end of the day he lives a free man with nature to guide his soul. May his example help those who are wanting the same to spark the start of their journey.
You made me remember that french toast is good when you are relaxed and have time for yourself, so for the last couple of months every Saturday, I wake up without an alarm, make french toast, a coffee, and watch the ringworm episode while eating it. If anybody tries to get in touch with me during this time, I just ignore them, even if it's my boss or something.
You should get yourself a rechargeable, portable, immersable shower pump. Even comes with a shower head and hose! They're awesome and way more efficient than dumping water over your head!👍
Here in allegan Mich still in the 40s to mid 40s all next wk snow on Thursday and Sunday We had a blizzard 2wks ago I bought a snowmobile because farmers almanac said it was going to be lots of snow well only snow we got was that blizzard and it was all gone in 4 days
Yes I would like to know what happened to the other video I was watching it before I went to bed didn't finish it I wake up now it says it's private and it won't even show it to me
Damn. I hope it is not next weeks video. I watched it last night then this morning I look and thought it was a dream. If it is next weeks then I have nothing new to watch next Saturday 😢. I will have to watch some reruns.
I watched the video of next week (#119) now that is the last week in real time. It’s funny how nowadays is hard to stay in the present. Thank you Ryan for the great content. From Brazil.
I absolutely love your personality The way you communicate with us is humorous. Great job on the shower. Just like everything you have made. They are all created with your imagination. No wonder you never get bored. Happy New Year's Cheers
hope you make it ok in the storm,,, love the way the shower looks, you are such a blast to listen to while you are working. keep safe and don't freeze to death.....till next Friday
Blessings, Ryan, from this old man in northeast Tennessee. Nice cover there. I enjoy your sense of humor and your ingenuity. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
I had a neighbor who designed soft animals, and had an industrial sewing machine. What a great piece of equipment. We had a big snowstorm on Jan. 3&4. That could be the one headed your way. Can't wait to see how it affects the Worm.
Have you considered putting down a layer of foam board on the floor, then adding your aspen floor boards over top? Might be the easiest way to insulate your floor
I’m not sure why. I enjoy listening to you talk. I usually tune out when tubers talk but for some crazy reason I listen to every word . Ha! The things you do are always a surprise and holds m6 interest constantly. Keep up the great job, looking forward to next Saturday.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. I am not brave enough to stay one cold week in the woods, let alone years. I appreciate your sense of humor and your vids ALWAYS make me chuckle. Keep up the great work and awesome content. And PS....your not alone in the woods, you have your followers out there with you!! Later, Lisa 😁
Yes definitely get a submersible camp shower water spray pump! Also definitely start new name tables for the share holder's lol, seriously the shooting range need a table, both cabins could have a table, the gazebo has a table, plenty of room, certainly looking forward to the blizzard at the worm ,sounds like could be a great opportunity for a kinda interactive video next week, where we get to ride out the worst with you,hope u do a longer video covering the EVENT!!
Welcome to country living Ryan. Always something needing done! My dad used to leave his chainsaw in the woods every day. Just coved it with limbs. Always ran. Even after a rain. Great video.
If you put skirting around the bottom of the cabin it will keep it warmer, especially if snow is packed against it. Next build, cook house. Cheers from da ROCK!
Good Luck to You and Friend staying there during storm; be safe! Your sense of Humor makes me smile😂😂 your knowledge and desire to try something new is very exciting to watch. Thanks for Sharing.
U could add a closet addition to put things to keep from freezing With a door that also opens from the outside maybe- ill do that on my cabin when I'm out living in the woods
Was just in northern WI and had well over a foot and so many trees down. Can't wait to see what Ryan experienced. Just twcents. Buy yourself a carbon monoxide detector to hang in your cabins.
you really need to add height to that trailer cover, like a covered wagon. I thought of that as soon as you mentioned making a tarp cover for the trailer, but knew you would probably have it made by the end of this video.
Two thoughts: maybe you should consider building a covered wood shed and I think you will have trouble with the trailer cover. The center between the side rails will collect water/snow/ice. 2or 3 side rail to side rail fiberglass poles(like tent poles) with a slight arc would help. Minor details you can work through. Excellent vids and I look forward to Saturdays with you.
The shower looks like modern art from the outside. Ya done good! It may be too late to ask but it would be cool to hear you and Tito play some music. Stay safe and warm in the storm.
You need to check with the Amish community about making oil powered lights. Here in East Jordan, we have an Amish community and at the local Amish store, Miller’s Country Market, they have interior lights made using rechargeable tool batteries. One of the Miller’s sons actually made them. The Amish people are very good with using resources that are off-grid but very practical.
You made a cover for your solar panels. I Love the videos, I need to make a big "lean to” on my new property to store everything under I ordered my Alaskan mill and a chainsaw finally after a year of planning
Yeah I was startled I thought you had smashed the camera you doing awesome work though those covers are a smart idea you're all out handy guy I really like watching your videos keep up the good work and that shower idea was awesome
Great job ,I think you need to build a big work space on the deck where you used to put the tent and use it to dry the wood and do some cuts away from the weather with a outdoor fire place .
The green covers should work well. Hunkering down for the storm should be challenging and fun. A well deserved vacation of sorts. Shower seems to work well. Only thing I would have done differently would've been to make the windows a little smaller and placed a little higher for privacy when showering when you have guests. Great job on it though. Will look forward to you and Tito hunkering down in the storm video. Take care.
Excellent video yet again, you do have a problem with heating the cabins and the gas you’re using must be a real cost. Why not use a smaller wood burner, I’m sure you’ve had this question so many times but it does seem an easy answer to an almost unnecessary cost. Great video / great work.
Get yourself some area rugs for a temp solution to your cold floor. You can keep them for winter even after you have an insulate new floor installed for cold winters.
You kind of mentioned in your video lastnight you might het a new tool or somwheres about there. Maybe a plow for the four wheeler? I also hope we got lucky and got 2 of your awesome videos this week and the one lastnight wasn't for next week. As always stay safe and God bless from Missouri.
From one Ryobi fan to another...get yourself 1 (or 2 ) of their folding area lights. They are so brite!!! Long lasting... and versatile !!! You won't be sorry! Promise!
Have you considered installing an outdoor furnace and heating your buildings with radiant heat? It looks like you have a ton of waste wood to burn. And being outdoors, you don't have to worry about chimney fires since you are burning cedar and pine. Radiant heat will keep you warm with the air temps still being cool. You wouldn't need much propane at all if you have wood heat.
Anything wood burning related he wont do. He does have a wood stove in one of the sheds yet never uses it. People make comments all the time including myself. Yet it is never going to happen. There is so much that he could do yet he wont. I think that he has a size limit of the foot print of the building so that is one thing. If I was me then I would build 3 buildings. Building one would be the kitchen. I would start with building a stem wall foundation about 2 feet up off the ground then backfill it and then insulate it with 2 inch foam and then pour concrete and or set with brick floor. Then I would build a really nice rocket stove brick stove/oven/stockpot burner. Along with some counters, wash sink and some places for a cooler or fridge/freezer. Then build walls that are insulated and have those big windows you can get at big box stores that are like 3 feet by 4 feet or bigger. Then build the roof in a bulldog type roof where one side is longer than the other facing the south and clear enough trees that the roof always is sunny. Install a bunch of solar panels that can charge a battery or directly fed for lighting and ceiling fans. The 2nd building I would build a shower and toilet area. I would dig out and put in a septic system along with a leech field. You can use a camping toilet that has the step trigger that opens and sends water in to the toilet. You can either use a electric pump or gravity fed water in the summer. The same stem wall and floor which can also be bigger for a deck out front of these buildings. The 3rd would be the sleeping area and desk area. Each one of these buildings would be in a line facing the south having a good foundation which is high enough off the ground so that it does not interfere with the snow. You can buy EG4 all in one inverter and EG4 batteries and used solar panels and have a really nice system for around 5 thousand dollars. This system is large enough to supply all of the electric you will ever need for a small place like this. Using wood heat fireplaces or wood stoves you would do very well. There are those BCAC Ashley Coal Circulator for like 1500 bucks. These are the ones for coal and wood. They have real grates on the bottom and not bricks. They work very well and you can stock them full for burn on low for a good 12 hours. They have a metal type temp air flow adjuster that you can set on high or low. They work really well. I have had one and really like how simple it was to use. This would provide more than enough heat for the living area. Depending on the codes of where he lives you can enclose in a breese way and still be with in the rules. If you can do this then putting the wood stove in the kitchen and stocking it will keep the whole place warm. Just use fans to move the cool air from each of the 2 side rooms in to the kitchen and it will heat the whole "building"
Maybe you need to invent s hanging roof under which you can mill in the winter. Sloped up to the south so the winter sun enters to help warm you~ & you could roof with metal & catch the runoff for showers or your upcoming garden. 🤔
You might try to make like a drag or something like say an old car or truck hood n throw a few logs on it for extra weight turn the snow into crete snow or ice maybe while you plow it n drag something fairly flat. Id say like A tobbagan that way it keeps you from high centering and getting you stuck in deeper snow I think an old car or truck hood would work too just drag it behind you as your driving or plowing snow almost like grooming snow for ski trails.
Call me crazy ("You're crazy!")but when I left for work this A. M. I was halfway thru a different episode of The Worm. Hope Tito enjoyed all that cheese!
You should have a small pot belly stove in your cabin you save a lot of money and you have all that wood around you even in your shower a small wood stove would be awesome

Yup, I have one of those....they are great! Totally recommend.
Yup was thinking the same. I do the bucket system like Ryan but I use the submersible shower gadget too.
Here in allegan Mich still in the 40s to mid 40s all next wk snow on Thursday and Sunday We had a blizzard 2wks ago I bought a snowmobile because farmers almanac said it was going to be lots of snow well only snow we got was that blizzard and it was all gone in 4 days
They make 12v versions that he can just plug into his power bank. Best thing I’ve ever bought for camping, pulls straight from the bucket.
Battery powered just adds another load on his limited electricity, I probably wouldn't do it. Some kind of hand-pump system would probably be better.
Yay an extra video. I thought I hallucinated the other lol. What a treat! :)
Agreed but what happened to the other video?! I can't find it now
It sounds like it was meant for next week. Glad I caught it before it went private.
Yes I would like to know what happened to the other video I was watching it before I went to bed didn't finish it I wake up now it says it's private and it won't even show it to me
Damn. I hope it is not next weeks video. I watched it last night then this morning I look and thought it was a dream. If it is next weeks then I have nothing new to watch next Saturday 😢. I will have to watch some reruns.
This one says number 118 was the hidden one 119. I look forward to my Saturday coffee and video as well.
That shower is a thing of beauty
Two worm videos in one day, awesome!
Jake and Nicole and their shower videos got nuthin' on the Ringworm..... on to 8 million views
I watched the video of next week (#119) now that is the last week in real time. It’s funny how nowadays is hard to stay in the present. Thank you Ryan for the great content. From Brazil.
If you insulated the floor of the cabin, you would probably save a lot of propane.
love your videos been watching for about a year now
I absolutely love your personality
The way you communicate with us is humorous. Great job on the shower.
Just like everything you have made. They are all created with your imagination.
No wonder you never get bored. Happy New Year's
Cheers
It is always a pleasure to see the latest from Surviving Ringworm! Thanks for the video Ryan.

Great video 👍👍 Ryan. Bubble foil staple to the under side of the floor boards (Boss of the Swamp, Kyle's cabin). Have Fun 👋👋
Pickin and a grinning in the forest , who could ask for more !!!
Yay on the shower! The covers turned out awesome. LOL on relationships and aloneness! 👍😎🇨🇦🔥❄
hope you make it ok in the storm,,, love the way the shower looks, you are such a blast to listen to while you are working. keep safe and don't freeze to death.....till next Friday
You’ve done more for teaching men how to sew. Wow! Very cool.
Absolutely the best channel on UA-cam! Thanks for your efforts!!!
Best regards from Houston, Lloyd C.
Hey Ryan, awesome videos. Greetings from Nova Scotia
Great job on sharpening your chains. Those saws are really cutting well.
Hoooo boy, im excited for next week....... Shower looks great.
Great job on the shower, You still got it.......!!
I’m impressed with your canvas covers, and actually all your projects, nice work
That shower is awesome ,you did a great job on it !
Blessings, Ryan, from this old man in northeast Tennessee. Nice cover there. I enjoy your sense of humor and your ingenuity. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
hi, be prepared for the weather and stay warm.get your groceries too.take care.
I had a neighbor who designed soft animals, and had an industrial sewing machine. What a great piece of equipment.
We had a big snowstorm on Jan. 3&4. That could be the one headed your way. Can't wait to see how it affects the Worm.
Hey, build sauna. It will be also nice little building project. Your winter washing problems are solved for good after that.
Nice job on rolling that cedar down out of there.
Another good video do a good night and every time so keep up the good work will be watching god bless
Can't wait for the next video
More great projects, thanks Ryan.
Have you considered putting down a layer of foam board on the floor, then adding your aspen floor boards over top? Might be the easiest way to insulate your floor

I've been waiting for the blizzard video!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. I am not brave enough to stay one cold week in the woods, let alone years. I appreciate your sense of humor and your vids ALWAYS make me chuckle. Keep up the great work and awesome content. And PS....your not alone in the woods, you have your followers out there with you!! Later, Lisa 😁
Hello from Lower Michigan. Just found you knuckleheads.Subscribed and binge watching now.
I think it's a minor miracle that you have kept those two long pieces of square tubing from getting even slightly bent, all these years!
Yes definitely get a submersible camp shower water spray pump! Also definitely start new name tables for the share holder's lol, seriously the shooting range need a table, both cabins could have a table, the gazebo has a table, plenty of room, certainly looking forward to the blizzard at the worm ,sounds like could be a great opportunity for a kinda interactive video next week, where we get to ride out the worst with you,hope u do a longer video covering the EVENT!!
Welcome to country living Ryan. Always something needing done!
My dad used to leave his chainsaw in the woods every day. Just coved it with limbs. Always ran. Even after a rain.
Great video.
You win a nickle ! I did enjoy next week's video :)
Top of the chipper temporarily put 2 pencil sized twigs corner to corner diagonal under the cover to stop the low spot in the center…
If you put skirting around the bottom of the cabin it will keep it warmer, especially if snow is packed against it. Next build, cook house. Cheers from da ROCK!
A 12 volt marine bildge pump (1100 gph) would pump the water overhead to a shower head. Pull hot water out of 5 gallon buckets…how refreshing!
Looking good my man always love to see whats going on at the Worm. hehe love the videos thanks keep it up
That shower is sweet
Love your sense of humor. Keep safe
Awesome build
As always great video glad to see you not sleeping inside the tent
You are so talented, I’m so happy to see you out of the tent, every thing is coming along so nicely, I reall look forward for your next video
Good Luck to You and Friend staying there during storm; be safe! Your sense of Humor makes me smile😂😂 your knowledge and desire to try something new is very exciting to watch. Thanks for Sharing.
U could add a closet addition to put things to keep from freezing With a door that also opens from the outside maybe- ill do that on my cabin when I'm out living in the woods
Ohhh, OK! I see now. We all thought last night's video was Saturdays early release but nope! It was a bonus video. 😃
You made it through the storm or you would not have posted this video.Excellent!!!
Hey Ryan...a 1 gallon milk jug with several pin holes in the cap full of warm water is more than enough to get clean. Wet down. Soap up. Rinse......
Really Cool Table RYAN....
Was just in northern WI and had well over a foot and so many trees down. Can't wait to see what Ryan experienced. Just twcents. Buy yourself a carbon monoxide detector to hang in your cabins.
you really need to add height to that trailer cover, like a covered wagon. I thought of that as soon as you mentioned making a tarp cover for the trailer, but knew you would probably have it made by the end of this video.
The platform where your tent was can be your outdoor kitchen area oh yes
Should make a wood memory wall to engrave all the subscriber's names on 👍
Awesome awesome cover 👏🏻👏🏻

Nice job on all the canvas covers! Looking forward to seeing the results of the storm!
The shower looks like modern art from the outside. Ya done good! It may be too late to ask but it would be cool to hear you and Tito play some music. Stay safe and warm in the storm.
I love your mentality about approaching what has to take place. I hope you are enjoying the new year. Take care Ryan!

Great job ,I think you need to build a big work space on the deck where you used to put the tent and use it to dry the wood and do some cuts away from the weather with a outdoor fire place .
Love your oil lamp shandeleer idea..hope u build one
I just love the fact that you sew stuff 🙂🙂 TFS
"love bein' alone." Tom Merton wrote a book about the joys of solitude! 👍
San Francisco Bay here🌞🍀
You need to put a rug by the door for the wet snow ❤️💕
You really need to insulate that cabin floor my guy.
I rode out some pretty nasty storms in the Midwest in my childhood, snowed in without electricity and heat.
Excellent outdoor shower.. would be cool to watch you build some outdoor furniture...
The green covers should work well. Hunkering down for the storm should be challenging and fun. A well deserved vacation of sorts. Shower seems to work well.

Can't wait to see the table redone. Grabbed a screen shot for myself 😎
Two doses of ringworm in 8 hours was pretty epic :D
Add a wood stove to your cabin. Use the propane heat for when you need to leave….. wood fired heat just makes too much sense!
Sure do agree with wood stove would make much sense speasuly with all the wood you have as scraps. just saying. Haha
You kind of mentioned in your video lastnight you might het a new tool or somwheres about there. Maybe a plow for the four wheeler? I also hope we got lucky and got 2 of your awesome videos this week and the one lastnight wasn't for next week. As always stay safe and God bless from Missouri.

Another Cool Movie RMON
Maybe think about a cook shack for a future project?
Thankyou
hello from the Netherlands .
thanks for the video Ryan .
Sincerely Hollandduck
You might try to make like a drag or something like say an old car or truck hood n throw a few logs on it for extra weight turn the snow into crete snow or ice maybe while you plow it n drag something fairly flat. Id say like A tobbagan that way it keeps you from high centering and getting you stuck in deeper snow I think an old car or truck hood would work too just drag it behind you as your driving or plowing snow almost like grooming snow for ski trails.
Hands down best shower I ever seen built! Love ur content!
Hope u guys made out good with this storm..... im in southern Ontario n we got hit hard by it!
Call me crazy ("You're crazy!")but when I left for work this A. M. I was halfway thru a different episode of The Worm.
Hope Tito enjoyed all that cheese!
Hey Ryan you should check out Boss of the swamps cabin floor insulation method it works well. Great vid man can't wait for the next few.
The Boss's floor is great
You should have a small pot belly stove in your cabin you save a lot of money and you have all that wood around you even in your shower a small wood stove would be awesome
