It's all about showing the world what it's like living off Grid. It don't always have to be upgrades, just the simple things like scenery, going to town, making lunch, just your every day like. I love the channel. The video editing is perfect. Keep showing us the simple life.
I am the same way. Never happy with my projects. But remember this. Mark Twain said "continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection" . Keep up the good work.
He has 2 wonderful parents that do it for a living and he has picked up a lot of what they had to offer. I agree he has it nailed. The only thing I don't like is the videos are to short sigh. I know time is recovered by the editing, but sill I could watch for hours.
You raised a fine young man! I ❤ watching Mick just do stuff... anything really! It's amazing the things he can do! He's a good cook too..... his bacon 🥓 and 🥚 🥚 look delicious and now I am hungry! I think his cabin looks great!
Good job on the siding! When my step-dad (the Mr. Good-Enough guy) and I were building my place here on the K-Penn. Every day when finishing up at the end of the day, I would clean up the job site. He would make snarky comments about it but eventually shut up. I have never liked leaving a mess at the end of the day, and it's nice to go back the next morning to a clean work area.
You have a perfect speaking voice for radio, news, or audiobooks. Your desire to improve your home is admirable, and a reflection of your awesome parents. Yep, I watch their channels too. Great job, and keep the videos coming.
Hi, Mick! The cabin looks great, and I love the bird feeders. No better view out your window, imo!! Please add the THANK YOU button to your channel so that we may buy you a $2 cup of coffee! It will add up, too. Keep up the great attitude and attention to detail. It is paying off!
Oops bears like birdfeeders. Take down at nite... In our area of Minnesota the bears wreak havoc on the feeders.. just a thought. Seeing you don't want bears close to home... Keep up the good work 👍
Keep up the great work Mick. Not a lot of folks out there who would do this. 56 year old dude here rooting for you, getting inspired by your videos. Do what you can with what you've got.
I'm a 66 year old granny who is itching to get outside and build a cabin, even if it's in my back yard, dammit. LOL You are doing good things for your viewers, Mick. Add that THANK YOU button to your channel! I want to buy you a coffee!
Hey Mick, we started homesteading, with a small shack, in far northern Maine, 50 years ago. Can relate to your comments about “less down time than you thought” and “always something to do”. We wrapped up our fall list here just in time for first snow. But, keep at it. You’ll get there. We’re retired now with warm 5 room house (one room added at a time”. ) We feed birds also. Big hint..If you want more birds, fill your tube feeders with sunflower seeds, for jays, etc. Scatter the mixed seed on ground for the “ground feeders”. Hang up a bit of suet or fat for woodpeckers. Each has their own preferences for feeding.
Very nice cabin upgrade with the new siding! As for birds.... wild bird seed makes a mess, gets moldy and attracts mice. Black oil sunflower seeds will get birds to your feeders and comes in 40 pound bulk sacks. Much more economical that that granular burd seed. You need to place the feeder under better cover from rain and snow. Amazon has covers that can be easily added to your existing feeders. The covers provide protection and help with squirrel intruders too. I have bird feeders hanging within view of 3 sides of my house. Cheap-ish entertainment. Best wishes!
Awesome job. Enjoy the birds. They are a welcoming joy. They will come once one find the feeders. They will tell their friends. Before you know it you will need to build bird houses to keep them near. Be careful what you wish for. I started with a few bird and now I feed hundreds in the morning. Lol Keep your positive attitude.👍 you're doing well. It's that Whipple drive.
Cabin is looking good! Glad you were able to get the siding on before winter got serious, keeping the weather off the plywood will make it last, you’d be amazed how quickly it deteriorates left un-protected.
Wow! Almost to 100k subs! What a great start… both to the channel and to the cabin. I wouldn’t stress too much about video quality, it’ the content I tune in for. You are finding your own voice and your own style and I look forward to your next upload.
Not gonna lie, alot of people try to create content similar to this and fail. I think you were born for this. Your voiceovers come across as very natural and effortless, the content itself draws you in. Overall you just seem like a genuinely good dude pursuing his dreams and i think if you keep doing this and being yourself, you'll have alot of success and happiness.
Glad for new video and seeing alls well. Your Homestead coming along . Slow as you go and enjoy life. Lots of good suggestions (steps, eaves to keep out water damage), know you will handle that in time. Get a tarp and cover your wood so is dry ready to keep you warm. Gutter to drain water into a barrel a necessary evil. Most importantly Mick, do what makes you thrive, radical decisions, priorities , but always include joyous times. Not many 18 year olds have accomplished what you have on their own. Anxious for next video -short n sweet, or longer. Keep details of location yours! See people baiting for info by beautiful Mountains _ like to see them on next trip!! BAIT - be careful. 🇺🇸🥶 till next time. Stay safe.
You are doing it right by delaying gratification on projects until you have the money! What good is an off-grid lifestyle if you would take on debt just to satisfy the viewers? You are a rockstar!
Excellent..Very good video! The views lovely and you did a great job beautifying your cabin. Can't wait to hear how much warmer you are inside. So glad you got it done before too much winter set in. Keep the videos coming. ...
Good Morning ! It's always a delight to discover another video of yours ! You are making progress toward your goals ...and here's another grandma who is proud of you ! Your cabin is looking terrific...nice color on the siding and the birdfeeders are a perfect addition (those little ones will greatly appreciate you in the winter . A small tip - keeping the birdseed in a closed container outside will prevent the hatching out of bugs , due to the warmth inside...ask me how I know...sigh... Stay safe and well . Wishing you Joy !
Cabin looks like a home now! I love watching birds too - but when I put up feeders in MA - it attracted bears who took them down. Would love to see video of moose! Good luck raising funds to get new equipment - your videos don't really need fancy - your heart felt honest content is refreshing - stay yourself!
Your cabin looks AMAZING!!! Fantastic job picking out roof & siding colors! You have a real talent for interior/exterior design. Keep up the great work!!! 👏You just built a HOME!! How proud of you of your hardworking?? No longer a "shed" lol. bird feeders are a great addition. cant wait to see what kind of birds you attrack this time of year. There is always many who dont want to fly south in the winter who will enjoy your bird food 🦅🦆🦉 Glad to see you are eating a good healthy dinner of eggs & bacon which will keep your body & mind strong & sharp!! 🥓🥓🥚 Greetings from Hot Florida! 🌊🌴🌞 Mick amazon has a job for people to read audio books = good money on your time frame. You would be fantastic at this kind of job.
The siding looks awesome and even makes the cabin appear warmer! Once the birds find those feeders you will be constantly needing to fill them and the birds will bring you great joy 😊 This mom of 3 boys from Ky loves your videos - God's blessings on your journey...
You are much like your mother!😁She was quick to put up bird feeders at one of her cabin builds also. The birds will come.....would love to see your moose...
Great progress Mick! I'm thankful to you cuz I get to learn a step by step how to with your videos with all your comments of the build after living in the cabin. Have a great day! Fruzsina from Denmark.
Look at that!! You did great! I love feeding the birds too! They need water too but you would need it heated. Great job! Has got to make you feel great!
I agree with comments about the lure of new equipment, this video was fantastic. I would skip new stuff and plan more traveling for this coming summer. The siding looks fantastic. No more shack for Nick.
Hi Mick .. don’t be so hard on yourself !! You are doing AWESOME ~ Look what you have accomplished!! Most 40 year olds don’t even know how to build “anything” and you have built a Cozy home!! It looks Much better with the siding and will definitely last longer and be warmer now.. videos are good enough for me..Super Proud Of You !!
Hi Mick! I so enjoy your videos! They are awesome! I wish you were not so hard on yourself. I love seeing your progress and hearing you narrate your videos. I like seeing the progress on the home and just hearing you talk about life and seeing the area. You are doing a great job! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Take care 😊❤️
Love that you put up bird feeders!! That sunset sure was beautiful!! That siding really does wonders to the place!! Good work! Keep it up! See ya in the next one!!
I can't believe someone would criticize your cabin when everyone knows how you are doing this building on a budget. You are doing great and the new siding is a nice color choice! I like seeing you cook and do your chores. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your videos either. I've enjoyed all of them. I do wish they were a bit longer. Everything will fall into place and you will have a rhythm to your life.
I feel the same way. In fact, he has some pretty long gaps so I just watch the build again. I have probably watched all his build videos at least 10 times a piece!😃 Don't know why they are so fascinating 🤷♀️
Great video Mick , love the siding which has really enhanced your cabin . Glad you have reactivated your PayPal account . I’m sure all donations will help keep you topped up with essentials in between you getting paid . Keep going you are inspirational . Warm greetings from UK 🇬🇧
It was very exciting to see your video pop up this morning! I had just been wondering a couple of days ago how you and your homestead were doing and what projects you might be up to about now. I love the siding you chose for your cabin and how nice it looks! The bird feeders are an addition awesome and I bet once the word gets out, you will have many feathered friends visiting!
It look like somebody who was starting to build a beautiful home. I could definitely see the bones of the place and it does look very pretty with the siding on it. It looks really great!
I love the cabin! You are doing great. As I have said before, your production is just fine. Your videos are better than many. We are all just thrilled to see your progress. Keep your content coming, Mick. Business has cycles. Now is the time to build your subs. IMHO audio is the most important. As a failed podcaster 😂 I did learn the foundational importance of great audio. Between that silky voice of yours, great choice of background music and darn good leveling, you’ve got this. Your video is fine. Keep putting out content. Progress beats perfection. You are honing your craft. Don’t get caught in the perfection trap. For now you are doing fine with production or your channel wouldn’t have grown. Focus on your subs. Subs come from content. Narrow homestead is doing a great job building his brand through a lot of shorts. So happy to see you. I was hoping you hadn’t given up. Wow! The scenery is great. The cabin is becoming a home. Well done. Subs content subs content. Much support from your self- appointed granny from TX Ps. I started camping at 66 so I could “get outside and get happy.“ Whipple-power! Pass it along.😉
Love the new siding, it’s definitely got to give you a boost mentally looking at it. Your videos are great. Remember we are our own worst enemy, your doing great. 😊
Wow! Great upgrade! I knew you were short on money, but I was pretty worried about the lack of Tyvek and siding, not for aesthetic reasons but to protect the wood. This puts this silly middle aged man at ease 😂. Keep doing your thing, Mick! ✌️
Wow it looks amazing you sure did a great job 👍🏻can’t wait to see what you are doing next. Until your next video stay warm stay safe and god bless my friend 🙏✌🏼
The birds will find the feeders and so will other wild life. I have a feeling we are going to be enjoying some interesting and sometimes scary footage upcoming. As always, love your content. Thanks Mick!
Your cabin looks a lot better with the siding. Thanks for sharing it with us. I know that most people enjoyed your last video of you reading that story. Myself i would like to see more videos like this one. Keep on keeping on !!! Go outside, toil for your food and be happy !!!!!!
Wow Mick the siding looks fantastic its crazy how such a small thing makes a huge difference. I think your videos are pretty good for just starting out. No one is gifted with perfection Mick we all learn and get better at task as we go. Take care.
Good morning buddy how ya doing? The cabin is shaping up!! You are doing it just like your folks did when they were young. I think they are good role models. I’ve never met you or your family, but one like to to very much. Don’t get discouraged during the thin times, it builds character. As a young fella I wanted to do what you are doing live life as you choose, living by the decisions you make. Following your own dreams. Thank you for sharing your life with us . God bless you Nick and your family. Keep up the good work!!
The siding looks great, Mick! All buildings look bad until the siding goes up, so don’t worry. Love seeing the bird feeders. We love feeding the birds and put out black oil sunflower seeds, which the birds love. We also plant a cluster of sunflowers each year. We put out thistle seed for the finches. We also set out some cracked corn on the ground, and occasionally we give them some peanuts. Rare occasion they get the salty shell peanuts or mixed nuts. We set out a hummingbird feeder, bird bath, and salt block also. Morning and night there is always something to watch. Plant some red and white clover in your grass and the bunnies will show up. Best entertainment out there. Over time you will figure out what your wildlife enjoys, and you’ll have a lot of enjoyment watching the birds and wildlife while you sip coffee or tea, especially on those cold days. Look forward to seeing more from you in the future. Loved your story time as well. Take care and blessings!
The cabin looks fantastic, Since my whole yard is bird feeders I think that we're a great edition. I've enjoyed your videos so I hope you take pleasure in them. Even though we will always see what we could do different. We need to be satisfied with our accomplishments as well.. That's your sweetheart, This grandma is proud of you. God bless you❤
Excellent perspective! I'm an artist and I remember that once as a teenager my darling mother reacted to me staring at a drawing I was working on by saying "Well, no one has to tell you you're good!" It was a well intended attempt to keep me humble, but what she didn't realize was that I was scrutinizing it to see what I could make better. We always need that self critique to improve the quality of our creativity, I believe. I’ve seen that to be so in my nearly 7 decades of life so far. Yes, it's also a good thing to learn, when to let go of the critical eye just enough to take in the satisfaction of what you've been able to create. I know it can give you inspiration, energy, and enthusiasm for the next project, and the next... I Love your videos! Love the bird feeders and I'm happy you've reopened the PayPal, Mick. Happy toiling!
Hey Mick, super work brother!!! You've got a brass pair!! Admire your guts and sense of adventure. Will be interesting to see if this adventure continues to feed your sense of exploration!! God Bless brother!!
You grind bro!!! Fr who has what it takes day in and day out to live this challenging of a life, let alone document it for anyone to see? Never forget that every time someone watches one of your videos, odds are they were inspired by what you’re doing and wanted to know more about it in some way shape or form. Keep up the grind-I’ll pray for you! Take care brother
You made me smile when you mentioned things you get excited about when you become an adult. It’s the gift that keeps giving. I’m 65 &!am beyond thrilled that I can climb into the back of my jeep to go to bed😂. Cabin looks awesome. Those birds will show up. Word will slowly get out about a new food source. Stay awesome Mick!!❤️
Hi Mich! Now that you have your bird feeders out. Have you considered getting a kitten? A cat is a lot of company out there and you could teach it to ride in the car with you when you have to go away sometimes. Just a thought.. Cats really love watching bird feeders!♥️👍
So happy for you! The siding is so nice! Also, your videos are incredible. We like watching what it is like living off grid in Alaska. So share normal everyday activities.
It's all about starting at the starting line. The finish line comes after the toiling. In a way Im like you I want to produce the best this or the best that. I have learned to get started with what I have a and eventually I will get to this or to that level which is the goal. You have come very far with the little you have and the scarce pay checks and that is what builds the necessary character so you can make those "perfect" video with equipment. In the end you will learn the viewers feel the perfect video has you in it and has less to do with the latest model camera or mic. May God be with you always and may you know it.
Mick, I have a few building tips for you. 1. Get pencils. You can erase when you mark wrong and graphite does not show thru paint, like ink. 2. When you make a straight cut with a speed square, move it over and use it to guide your circular saw. You will get a much nicer cut every time.
The siding makes a big difference, looks great. I do suggest you tarp your firewood stack, helps keep all that hard work (splitting & stacking) from possibly turning into a giant ice cube...
I would love to see his next project a woodshed to keep all his hard work of splitting dry and accessible in the harsh weather, if you burn wood as your only heat source it would be invaluable
The cabin looks really good. You did a great job! I love your videos and I don't see any bad quality in them. Keep up the good work. I hope the moose is nice!
Yes, the siding makes the cabin look very nice. Good idea to put out the bird feeders. As my Grandma would say, the birds will come, “all in due time.” I recently started watching both of your parents videos and heard your mom say you have a new channel. So, last night I started watching them from the beginning. I am impressed with what you are doing for yourself.
You called it a shack, well now you can absolutely call it your home!! What a tremendous transformation. I’m really enjoying your narration of what real life is like in a humerus and interesting way. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Everything is looking great! If you feed the birds black oil sunflower seeds you’ll get a lot more stopping by, most birds prefer them over the seeds you have.
Mick, I can't even begin to imagine how proud your Mom and Dad must be of you !! You're doing a great job !! Love the Video's, I sit and anxiously await every single one !! Keep up the great work buddy :)
Wow the siding looks fantastic good colour choice. Slow and steady with your home, you are doing a fabulous job. Don’t be so hard on yourself, I think your videos are great. Well done from Australia
The cabin looks great! Keep up the good work. You are doing a great job. The videos show what a beautiful piece of the world you live in. As a viewer, it's fun to see how others live day to day ( or week to week ) that live in a totally different part of the contenant. I am watching from Kentucky. While it is beautiful here also, it's fun to view other types of beauty. Keep making it your own!!!
Oh it looks so much better! Good job! I also love the neutral color. Don’t you have bears? Just thinking they might get the feeders. When I lived in CA we had to hang them with a pulley system from a tree branch. Our bears never really hibernated though, yours probably do…
Looks great Mick! The siding really gives it a finished look! Long-time birder in Northern Minnesota here. If you want the most birds as economically as can be, offer just plain old black oil sunflower seeds. They’re by far the most favored by the most bird species. Not many birds eat corn, and even less eat millet. Mostly, they’ll kick it out in the ground to get at the sunflower seeds. If you want to splurge sometime, offer some medium sized hulled black oil sunflower seeds in addition to the whole seeds. Some smaller birds really go for those because they have a hard time cracking whole seeds. See you soon! Matt
Good to see you appreciate the small things. But you made the decision to experience that so great job. Its difficult doing videos and editing you will get better and better. I learned a lot from your parents actually.
Mick you are doing Great!! Dont be too harsh on yourself saying you are not satisfied with your videos. They are wonderful! Showing your first cabin build and the whole process, the more unedited, the more honest. You are doing great! Your cabin is beautiful and its a joy to watch your journey. I saw a video where your mom was in a cabin that had the well pump right inside the cabin and used the pump as a faucet. That was ingenious! Will you be digging a well?
You're doing a great job and your cabin looks great. Home is more than what it looks like, it's comfort, happiness and love. If you love what you're doing that's all that matters. Keep up the good work it makes me happy to see a young man making his dreams come true. Stay safe and be blessed.
I really like how the sketchy ladder had stayed throughout the build and I think its really cool that youre out there doing this. Ive toyed with the idea of moving to alaska but I havent dedicated too much time to it. Still, keep up the good work, I like your dedication.
I hope we get to see your mom and dad over to help with a few last min touches that they could add to your cabin. Maybe a Christmas Gathering with tree trimming? 🎄oh and you need a safer ladder.
Absolutely brilliant work Mick. Everything takes time,and will come together! Aslong as you are moving forward then you are progressing and you certainly are doing that. Stay warm,keep safe,make lots of stews and soups that last several days,a perpetual pot.. all the best from a cold & windy,very dull uk.
You’re living your dream! Go for it all. Love your siding and I never saw your home as a shack. Hope the birds find your feeders quickly. Can’t wait for the next video.
Mick, great job with the siding! I knew it was going to be alright! You should be proud of what you have accomplished so far. I know I am proud of you. You have worked so hard and the progress is so beautiful. I can't hardly wait to see the final results. Dear heart, be safe and God bless you!!
Nice! I wish I used tyvek on my bunkhouse\shed in the north; not that water intrusion or anything has been an issue but, that stuff genuinely holds up. I have had some tyvek out in the yard covering a kevlar canoe for 8yrs and the tyvek hasn't broken down.
It's all about showing the world what it's like living off Grid. It don't always have to be upgrades, just the simple things like scenery, going to town, making lunch, just your every day like. I love the channel. The video editing is perfect. Keep showing us the simple life.
Show us the outhouse so we know.
Yes ,I watch to see Alaska & ,get info about starting a life there.
@@ws775 could have a honey bucket . Think compost toilet.
Exactly! If I wanted Hollywood I'll turn on the TV.
@@punkotter1867that's my thoughts. We live in the mountains & have one for when the well dies. It's got one of those fancy seats with a lid😂. Classy!
I am the same way. Never happy with my projects. But remember this. Mark Twain said "continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection" . Keep up the good work.
As a fulltime professional filmmaker, the story and editing is what matters most and you got that nailed down!
Maybe consider collaborating with Mick to upgrade his videos?
He has 2 wonderful parents that do it for a living and he has picked up a lot of what they had to offer. I agree he has it nailed. The only thing I don't like is the videos are to short sigh. I know time is recovered by the editing, but sill I could watch for hours.
So true!
So kind! I love comments like this. It gives me faith in the online community. Peace.
The cabin looks great!
The siding changed the look & it shows something is finished vs unfinished. It looks like you're home for as long as you want. Thanks for the video
It's looking so cozy! Great job :) Try just plain black sunflower seeds.... the birds love those.
Thank you for raising a wonderful young man!!🎉🎉
They are called Black Oil Sunflower seeds.
You raised a fine young man! I ❤ watching Mick just do stuff... anything really! It's amazing the things he can do! He's a good cook too..... his bacon 🥓 and 🥚 🥚 look delicious and now I am hungry! I think his cabin looks great!
Came here to say the same thing!! The birds will be all over it in no time :)
What are you his mom or something? 😏
Good job on the siding!

Mick, you could make some extra money reading books on line. Just an idea.

blue jays and squirrels love peanuts. The fights that ensure between them are always hilarious.
I think the feeders he put up are for niger seed, I don,t think the holes are big enough for regular birdseed
Wouldn't hanging fat attract bears?
I love bird feeders too. There's just something so calming about chirping birds in the morning. good job finishing the outside.
Very nice cabin upgrade with the new siding!
As for birds.... wild bird seed makes a mess, gets moldy and attracts mice. Black oil sunflower seeds will get birds to your feeders and comes in 40 pound bulk sacks. Much more economical that that granular burd seed. You need to place the feeder under better cover from rain and snow. Amazon has covers that can be easily added to your existing feeders.

The siding just makes the cabin truly look like a little cabin in the woods!! Great job Mick!!!! Enjoy watching the birds.
That cladding makes world of difference Mick. Great job on your hime 👍 best wishes from Cornwall England
Glad for new video and seeing alls well. Your Homestead coming along .
Slow as you go and enjoy life.
Lots of good suggestions (steps, eaves to keep out water damage), know you will handle that in time.
Get a tarp and cover your wood so is dry ready to keep you warm.
Gutter to drain water into a barrel a necessary evil.
Most importantly Mick, do what makes you thrive, radical decisions, priorities , but always
include joyous times.
Not many 18 year olds have accomplished what you have on their own.
Anxious for next video -short n sweet, or longer.
Keep details of location yours! See people baiting for info by beautiful Mountains _ like to see them on next trip!! BAIT - be careful.

Hey Mick, all the videos I have thoroughly enjoyed. Don't worry about it, I think you are doing a great job. Keep going.
You are doing it right by delaying gratification on projects until you have the money! What good is an off-grid lifestyle if you would take on debt just to satisfy the viewers? You are a rockstar!

Glad to see you are eating a good healthy dinner of eggs & bacon which will keep your body & mind strong & sharp!! 🥓🥓🥚
Greetings from Hot Florida! 🌊🌴🌞
Mick amazon has a job for people to read audio books = good money on your time frame. You would be fantastic at this kind of job.
The siding looks awesome and even makes the cabin appear warmer! Once the birds find those feeders you will be constantly needing to fill them and the birds will bring you great joy 😊 This mom of 3 boys from Ky loves your videos - God's blessings on your journey...
You are much like your mother!😁She was quick to put up bird feeders at one of her cabin builds also. The birds will come.....would love to see your moose...
Great progress Mick! I'm thankful to you cuz I get to learn a step by step how to with your videos with all your comments of the build after living in the cabin. Have a great day! Fruzsina from Denmark.
Hey Mick. The cabin siding looks awesome. great job
Look at that!! You did great! I love feeding the birds too! They need water too but you would need it heated. Great job! Has got to make you feel great!
I agree with comments about the lure of new equipment, this video was fantastic. I would skip new stuff and plan more traveling for this coming summer. The siding looks fantastic. No more shack for Nick.
The siding looks wonderful and aesthetically I think it makes the world of difference especially for you because it's your home. Keep up the work!❤ ❤
Hi Mick .. don’t be so hard on yourself !! You are doing AWESOME ~ Look what you have accomplished!! Most 40 year olds don’t even know how to build “anything” and you have built a Cozy home!! It looks Much better with the siding and will definitely last longer and be warmer now.. videos are good enough for me..Super Proud Of You !!
Looks great to have siding on the cabin. Keep on keeping on. Blessings
Kudos on the siding!! Well done!! I love the home made ladder!!
i love watching the birds so peaceful once the find it they will be there all the time! keep up the great work!
Hi Mick! I so enjoy your videos! They are awesome! I wish you were not so hard on yourself. I love seeing your progress and hearing you narrate your videos. I like seeing the progress on the home and just hearing you talk about life and seeing the area. You are doing a great job! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Take care 😊❤️
Love that you put up bird feeders!! That sunset sure was beautiful!! That siding really does wonders to the place!! Good work! Keep it up! See ya in the next one!!
I can't believe someone would criticize your cabin when everyone knows how you are doing this building on a budget. You are doing great and the new siding is a nice color choice! I like seeing you cook and do your chores. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your videos either. I've enjoyed all of them. I do wish they were a bit longer. Everything will fall into place and you will have a rhythm to your life.
I feel the same way. In fact, he has some pretty long gaps so I just watch the build again. I have probably watched all his build videos at least 10 times a piece!😃 Don't know why they are so fascinating 🤷♀️
Tyvek! Looks you’ll finally have the mold licked. Couldn’t happen too soon.
Great video Mick , love the siding which has really enhanced your cabin . Glad you have reactivated your PayPal account . I’m sure all donations will help keep you topped up with essentials in between you getting paid . Keep going you are inspirational . Warm greetings from UK 🇬🇧
It was very exciting to see your video pop up this morning! I had just been wondering a couple of days ago how you and your homestead were doing and what projects you might be up to about now. I love the siding you chose for your cabin and how nice it looks! The bird feeders are an addition awesome and I bet once the word gets out, you will have many feathered friends visiting!
Beautiful Mick. Good to see things working out for you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all.
It look like somebody who was starting to build a beautiful home. I could definitely see the bones of the place and it does look very pretty with the siding on it. It looks really great!
I love the cabin! You are doing great.
As I have said before, your production is just fine. Your videos are better than many.
We are all just thrilled to see your progress. Keep your content coming, Mick. Business has cycles. Now is the time to build your subs. IMHO audio is the most important. As a failed podcaster 😂 I did learn the foundational importance of great audio. Between that silky voice of yours, great choice of background music and darn good leveling, you’ve got this. Your video is fine.
Keep putting out content. Progress beats perfection. You are honing your craft. Don’t get caught in the perfection trap. For now you are doing fine with production or your channel wouldn’t have grown.
Focus on your subs. Subs come from content. Narrow homestead is doing a great job building his brand through a lot of shorts.
So happy to see you. I was hoping you hadn’t given up.
Wow!
The scenery is great. The cabin is becoming a home.
Well done.
Subs content subs content.
Much support from your self- appointed granny from TX
Ps. I started camping at 66 so I could “get outside and get happy.“ Whipple-power! Pass it along.😉
Yes, more videos would great and that will bring in more money from you tube…
The siding adds so much, it looks great Mick. Great job. Love your vids, keep up the good work!!! God’s blessings always!❤❤❤
Great job Mick, quite the transformation! I am very impressed! Looking forward to your next video! 👍🏼👍🏼
Love the new siding, it’s definitely got to give you a boost mentally looking at it. Your videos are great. Remember we are our own worst enemy, your doing great. 😊
The cabin’s looking fabulous. It’s a process to be taken slowly, a little at a time, and enjoyed along the way. Great job.😊
Wow! Great upgrade! I knew you were short on money, but I was pretty worried about the lack of Tyvek and siding, not for aesthetic reasons but to protect the wood. This puts this silly middle aged man at ease 😂.
Keep doing your thing, Mick! ✌️
Wow it looks amazing you sure did a great job 👍🏻can’t wait to see what you are doing next. Until your next video stay warm stay safe and god bless my friend 🙏✌🏼
The birds will find the feeders and so will other wild life. I have a feeling we are going to be enjoying some interesting and sometimes scary footage upcoming. As always, love your content. Thanks Mick!
Your cabin looks a lot better with the siding. Thanks for sharing it with us. I know that most people enjoyed your last video of you reading that story. Myself i would like to see more videos like this one. Keep on keeping on !!! Go outside, toil for your food and be happy !!!!!!
Wow Mick the siding looks fantastic its crazy how such a small thing makes a huge difference. I think your videos are pretty good for just starting out. No one is gifted with perfection Mick we all learn and get better at task as we go. Take care.
Good morning buddy how ya doing? The cabin is shaping up!! You are doing it just like your folks did when they were young. I think they are good role models. I’ve never met you or your family, but one like to to very much.
Don’t get discouraged during the thin times, it builds character.
As a young fella I wanted to do what you are doing live life as you choose, living by the decisions you make. Following your own dreams. Thank you for sharing your life with us . God bless you Nick and your family. Keep up the good work!!
The siding looks great, Mick! All buildings look bad until the siding goes up, so don’t worry. Love seeing the bird feeders. We love feeding the birds and put out black oil sunflower seeds, which the birds love. We also plant a cluster of sunflowers each year. We put out thistle seed for the finches. We also set out some cracked corn on the ground, and occasionally we give them some peanuts. Rare occasion they get the salty shell peanuts or mixed nuts. We set out a hummingbird feeder, bird bath, and salt block also. Morning and night there is always something to watch. Plant some red and white clover in your grass and the bunnies will show up. Best entertainment out there. Over time you will figure out what your wildlife enjoys, and you’ll have a lot of enjoyment watching the birds and wildlife while you sip coffee or tea, especially on those cold days. Look forward to seeing more from you in the future. Loved your story time as well. Take care and blessings!
The cabin looks fantastic, Since my whole yard is bird feeders I think that we're a great edition. I've enjoyed your videos so I hope you take pleasure in them. Even though we will always see what we could do different. We need to be satisfied with our accomplishments as well.. That's your sweetheart, This grandma is proud of you. God bless you❤
Excellent perspective! I'm an artist and I remember that once as a teenager my darling mother reacted to me staring at a drawing I was working on by saying "Well, no one has to tell you you're good!" It was a well intended attempt to keep me humble, but what she didn't realize was that I was scrutinizing it to see what I could make better. We always need that self critique to improve the quality of our creativity, I believe. I’ve seen that to be so in my nearly 7 decades of life so far.
Yes, it's also a good thing to learn, when to let go of the critical eye just enough to take in the satisfaction of what you've been able to create. I know it can give you inspiration, energy, and enthusiasm for the next project, and the next...
I Love your videos! Love the bird feeders and I'm happy you've reopened the PayPal, Mick. Happy toiling!
Cabin looking good, Mick. Nice to see you eating more protein. You seem happy and excited for your life. Proud of you. Hope you got my card.
Mick, the cabin is looking really great. Well done.
Hi there Mick you are doing a great job cabin starting to 👀 great, keep up the good work you are doing yourself proud , take care.X💕🏴
proud of you 😊 your an inspiration for the younger generation. so nice to see , keep up the good work mick ...
Hey Mick, super work brother!!! You've got a brass pair!! Admire your guts and sense of adventure. Will be interesting to see if this adventure continues to feed your sense of exploration!! God Bless brother!!
You grind bro!!! Fr who has what it takes day in and day out to live this challenging of a life, let alone document it for anyone to see? Never forget that every time someone watches one of your videos, odds are they were inspired by what you’re doing and wanted to know more about it in some way shape or form. Keep up the grind-I’ll pray for you! Take care brother
Great job Mick, the siding is a game changer for the looks of your castle.
You made me smile when you mentioned things you get excited about when you become an adult. It’s the gift that keeps giving. I’m 65 &!am beyond thrilled that I can climb into the back of my jeep to go to bed😂. Cabin looks awesome. Those birds will show up. Word will slowly get out about a new food source. Stay awesome Mick!!❤️
Hi Mich! Now that you have your bird feeders out. Have you considered getting a kitten? A cat is a lot of company out there and you could teach it to ride in the car with you when you have to go away sometimes. Just a thought.. Cats really love watching bird feeders!♥️👍
And thet help with the rodents.
So happy for you! The siding is so nice! Also, your videos are incredible. We like watching what it is like living off grid in Alaska. So share normal everyday activities.
It's all about starting at the starting line. The finish line comes after the toiling. In a way Im like you I want to produce the best this or the best that. I have learned to get started with what I have a and eventually I will get to this or to that level which is the goal. You have come very far with the little you have and the scarce pay checks and that is what builds the necessary character so you can make those "perfect" video with equipment. In the end you will learn the viewers feel the perfect video has you in it and has less to do with the latest model camera or mic. May God be with you always and may you know it.
Mick, I have a few building tips for you. 1. Get pencils. You can erase when you mark wrong and graphite does not show thru paint, like ink. 2. When you make a straight cut with a speed square, move it over and use it to guide your circular saw. You will get a much nicer cut every time.
The siding makes a big difference, looks great. I do suggest you tarp your firewood stack, helps keep all that hard work (splitting & stacking) from possibly turning into a giant ice cube...
I would love to see his next project a woodshed to keep all his hard work of splitting dry and accessible in the harsh weather, if you burn wood as your only heat source it would be invaluable
The cabin looks really good. You did a great job! I love your videos and I don't see any bad quality in them. Keep up the good work. I hope the moose is nice!
Yes, the siding makes the cabin look very nice. Good idea to put out the bird feeders. As my Grandma would say, the birds will come, “all in due time.”
I recently started watching both of your parents videos and heard your mom say you have a new channel. So, last night I started watching them from the beginning. I am impressed with what you are doing for yourself.
You are doing great mick ,keep up the hard work ,God bless
Excellent job young man. The cabin's looking good.👏😀🇬🇧
Looks so nice, great job, beautiful scenery too!🥰
You called it a shack, well now you can absolutely call it your home!! What a tremendous transformation. I’m really enjoying your narration of what real life is like in a humerus and interesting way. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Mate you could put up a 5-minute video of just the birds around the cabin and I'd watch it! Stay safe and keep at it.
Everything is looking great! If you feed the birds black oil sunflower seeds you’ll get a lot more stopping by, most birds prefer them over the seeds you have.
Mick, I can't even begin to imagine how proud your Mom and Dad must be of you !! You're doing a great job !! Love the Video's, I sit and anxiously await every single one !! Keep up the great work buddy :)
Wow the siding looks fantastic good colour choice. Slow and steady with your home, you are doing a fabulous job. Don’t be so hard on yourself, I think your videos are great. Well done from Australia
The cabin looks great! Keep up the good work. You are doing a great job. The videos show what a beautiful piece of the world you live in. As a viewer, it's fun to see how others live day to day ( or week to week ) that live in a totally different part of the contenant. I am watching from Kentucky. While it is beautiful here also, it's fun to view other types of beauty. Keep making it your own!!!
Congrats on 100k! You deserve it! Your videos have been constantly improving and they will be up to your standards soon enough! Enjoy the ride!
It looks so good! Great job, the birds will be happy too! God Bless! 🙏🕊️🙏
Excellent video. Remember these moments when you reach 100,000 scribers!! Cabin looks fantastic, keep trucking on.
Oh it looks so much better! Good job! I also love the neutral color.
Don’t you have bears? Just thinking they might get the feeders. When I lived in CA we had to hang them with a pulley system from a tree branch. Our bears never really hibernated though, yours probably do…
Looks great Mick! The siding really gives it a finished look!
Long-time birder in Northern Minnesota here. If you want the most birds as economically as can be, offer just plain old black oil sunflower seeds. They’re by far the most favored by the most bird species.
Not many birds eat corn, and even less eat millet. Mostly, they’ll kick it out in the ground to get at the sunflower seeds.
If you want to splurge sometime, offer some medium sized hulled black oil sunflower seeds in addition to the whole seeds. Some smaller birds really go for those because they have a hard time cracking whole seeds.
See you soon! Matt
Good to see you appreciate the small things. But you made the decision to experience that so great job. Its difficult doing videos and editing you will get better and better. I learned a lot from your parents actually.
Mick you are doing Great!! Dont be too harsh on yourself saying you are not satisfied with your videos. They are wonderful! Showing your first cabin build and the whole process, the more unedited, the more honest. You are doing great! Your cabin is beautiful and its a joy to watch your journey. I saw a video where your mom was in a cabin that had the well pump right inside the cabin and used the pump as a faucet. That was ingenious! Will you be digging a well?
You're doing a great job and your cabin looks great. Home is more than what it looks like, it's comfort, happiness and love. If you love what you're doing that's all that matters. Keep up the good work it makes me happy to see a young man making his dreams come true. Stay safe and be blessed.
I really like how the sketchy ladder had stayed throughout the build and I think its really cool that youre out there doing this. Ive toyed with the idea of moving to alaska but I havent dedicated too much time to it. Still, keep up the good work, I like your dedication.
I hope we get to see your mom and dad over to help with a few last min touches that they could add to your cabin. Maybe a Christmas Gathering with tree trimming? 🎄oh and you need a safer ladder.
Absolutely brilliant work Mick.
Everything takes time,and will come together!
Aslong as you are moving forward then you are progressing and you certainly are doing that.
Stay warm,keep safe,make lots of stews and soups that last several days,a perpetual pot.. all the best from a cold & windy,very dull uk.
Great video! your cabin looks Awesome! the siding looks Awesome and it protects your cabin too. i Love watching your videos.
You’re living your dream! Go for it all. Love your siding and I never saw your home as a shack. Hope the birds find your feeders quickly. Can’t wait for the next video.
Mick, great job with the siding! I knew it was going to be alright! You should be proud of what you have accomplished so far. I know I am proud of you. You have worked so hard and the progress is so beautiful. I can't hardly wait to see the final results. Dear heart, be safe and God bless you!!
Mick, your videos don’t have to be perfect. I have enjoyed every one & look forward to every one. Thank you for sharing!
The problem isn't quality, that's a cop out, just be consistent with some content and you'll do great. killing it already.
Nice! I wish I used tyvek on my bunkhouse\shed in the north; not that water intrusion or anything has been an issue but, that stuff genuinely holds up. I have had some tyvek out in the yard covering a kevlar canoe for 8yrs and the tyvek hasn't broken down.
