Building an Off Grid Cabin using Free Pallet Wood: A Wilderness Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- We built this small off grid log cabin using recycled pallet wood that we collected for free. The aim of the diy project was to try and save money by building a cabin in the forest on the cheap. Living off grid is something we have always admired, being able to forage and gather food from the land, much like the primitive hunter-gatherer did. This off the grid cabin, although small, is an ideal one-man bug out camp in a survival situation. Slowly, we are turning this off grid cabin in the forest into a wilderness homestead.
So far, this tiny hobbit home has no electricity or solar power, but it does have a window, roof, front porch, folding table, raised bed, chair, bench, shelves, bookcase and a woodstove to keep the cabin warm during the cold winter months.
To build the pallet wood cabin we have used a mixture of hand tools and power tools. We filmed and documented the building of this log cabin in a playlist on our channel called "The Off Grid Pallet Wood Cabin" which you can watch here: • Off Grid Log Cabin Bui...
We started the cabin build by breaking the pallets down into useable pieces of timber. We then cleared a site in the forest to build the foundations of the cabin using larger pallets. The second stage of the build was the side walls, and then the roof, which we used a piece of recycled tin from an old barn. We then fitted a small window from a garden shed, and started to work on building the front porch. Once the main structure of the cabin was complete, we focused on making rustic pallet wood furniture for the inside of the small house. We bolted together a raised bed, and made a small chair and foldaway table to save space inside. We then needed to heat the cabin, for this we opted for the G Stove Heat View which has a stove pipe oven attachment so that we can bake food in it, plus a water container to boil water for fresh coffee and tea.
In many of the episodes we cooked food in cast iron frying pans on the woodstove. In the warmer months we cooked on an open camp fire using a cast iron grill on a Bushcraft style tripod which we lashed together. We have cooked fresh fish, pie, bacon, eggs, soup and much more on the woodstove.
Hopefully, we can use this former Bushcraft Camp as an area to practice developing our wilderness survival skills, learning primitive technology and how to forage for wild edibles and catch and cook our food. At the end of the day, this project was more about a father and son spending time in the outdoors working on free diy projects and learning how to become self reliant and save money for a happier lifestyle. We hope you enjoy the adventure!

I sat here and thought “I’m not sitting here for an hour watching 2 guys built a cabin”
An hour later, multiple rewinds and many smiles later - I’m totally glad I did.
Recycled supples, simple tools, no words.
I am in awe, gentlemen. Well done!
I’m 35 mins in and still going strong! 🇬🇧 💪
@Will Roberts 😂
Same here, then it turned into, what are they building now? AHHH that's clever.
Ground_Pilot 595 +looks good,your dad sure has good hands
I speed up the video
Anyone else watch the whole video
Numerous times
Yup
Love it! Love the concept. Love the final build. Love the price point! Awesome guys...every father n son should spend time like this xx
Watched this in Rotorua NZ. Saw my first vid when i lived in Syd Aus.
Ruttley Tash n Marty that would mean over millions of Cabins in the Woods haha
Onward to more additions to the pallet cabin. You guys have done so much, and there is virtually no end to what you could add. Thank you for sharing this wonderful look at a father and son enjoying each other! More cooking at the cabin with that unbelievable bacon you have in the U.K.! An outhouse and storage shed will be good additions. But whatever you choose will be great. Thankz
Yes we have a few more projects in mind!
It's amazing how mutes are such talented off the grid carpenters. Great job!
Nice hooch boys. It’s obvious that you guys are very well connected the way you work together
Yes. Only thing they need to do is learn how to build houses
awesome time together dad and son tag teaming an off grid cabin build.
Did this when I was 10 years old.
Back in the woods of my parents home.
12 acres of land and 5 Acres of woods.
But I used a hatchets and what I could find as Vines to build what I needed for shelter.
No nails, or anything like what is available today.
I was brought up as a Survivor not to depend on energy or anything else except physical strength, and knowledge to survive.
Awesome, it gave me some tips on how I want to built my cabin! God bless 🌻🙏
How can anyone not like this? Unless you own property, you cannot do that here in "free" America. Even when you do "own" property, people still won't leave you alone. Own is in quotes because here in America you pay taxes on everything you have or your municipality,state, and federal take it away from you.(Detractors: including stuff that has nothing to do with "schools and roads.")
Owning nature is an illusion. We are supposed to be custodians of the Earth not it's "owners". I believe the only way we can redress the balance is by taking direct action. Living off grid, illegally in the local wood, full or part time. Depending how it fits into one's life. I have been full time off grid, completely illegally in my local wood for almost five months. My set up isn't NEARLY as slick as what these guys built but I have documented it on my channel.
Depends where you live. Plenty of people do this. I hope a more substantial structure than this one ( no disrespect intended). Besides it is not for everyone. It is not an easy way to live. Depends on the individual of course, but most folks cannot take it.
Que maravilloso ver padre hijo trabajando ..yo no tuve padre y mi hijo no se levanta del computador obligado a trabajar solo jaja
это очень хорошо! Отец - это святое!
nice and cheap project, but a lil too small to keep two people sleeping inside!
I wish I had more time with my dad.
Donated pallets = free
Reused nails = free
Time spent father & son = priceless
Rtrtvggh6dd and I have been in this since last week with my head
Wood stove with an oven and water boiler = $2000
Why do I get the feeling it was dad's idea, to finally get the boy out his basement..
Next thing he bought was a wifi extender... n we never saw him again...
We need more of this and less of Xboxes
Time spent reading this comment = wasted
I am just loving the fact that you all have saved the old nails out of the pallets and are reusing them to build this new place. Excellent job.
I want 1 in my yard
It's not perfect, but it's time well spent with my Dad! Hope you enjoy this longer video of the whole build. We're so grateful for all the feedback you guys have given us on this series. There will be a video soon on how many pallets we used, the dimensions of the cabin etc. We have tried to recycle as much as possible, re-using the nails, scavenging for free materials in skips and refuse sites (all with permission).
TA Outdoors Enjoyed following the series guys, great work.
Loving this series. Along with all your other videos. Keep up the good work! 😀
Thanks!
TA Outdoors is this one new? Or is it a different cabin?
Is it the same one or new?
it was very refreshing just to watch a video where there were no spoken words.
☺
@@alfredmcdusseldorf6228 amen to that indeed brotha
yes indeed Bro
Exactly... Or unnecessary music.
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
0 minutes in, wearing gym clothes and looking for music on UA-cam and see this video in my feed.
30 minutes in, still in gym clothes and hooked to the video.
45 minutes in, cracked open an ipa, gym clothes off.
1 hour in, wanna quit my job, leave my life and move into this cabin.
Subscriber for life.
Many blessings to you and your pop from Texas!
This is the best reaction comment I've ever read. Love it! I felt similarly watching this. Hated to see the dad has since passed.
@@patihopkins5190 my god! I had no idea. That breaks my heart.
Actually, it was a horrible comment, only because he wanted to move into this cabin, rather than build his own. Maybe that's what he really meant.
@@patihopkins5190 when did dad pass away????
lmao me too, i jusst decided to buy vacant land in california and i need to know how to survive on nothing but desert. saving up for all the new adventures..
also stuck on this video
At the beginning, that was quite possibly, the coolest rope wrapping trick I've ever witnessed.
If anyone knows “type” of wallthey used i would really love to know. Thank you
It would be referred to as a shake wall, or shake shingles.
My Grandad taught me that wrapping technique. Thumb to elbow 😁
That's pretty basic. Learnt it when I was 7 when I was in cub scouts...
Me too!!
I dont even know where to start. I could NOT speed this up. I'm a 5ft 62 yr old woman and dammit im going to do this. I spent 100's of hours as a child in the woods by myself making forts and other habitats. I need to do it at least one more time. Thank you. So much. Im not sure why, by the time i got to the end of a vid i was going to skim thru i wept. Go figure. Just.....poignant. my bath water is uber cold but this video was worth it. Now....the stove.
I am curious - did you build your cabin in the woods? If so, please post a video and let me know where to go to see the video online. If not, let me know. I am a very fit, vital woman of a certain age myself, completely free of any responsibilities, a retired RN after a 40+ year extremely satisfying career. I grew up in a Cherokee community in the Missouri Ozarks, spending most of my free time with my cousin doing EXACTLY what you described! I now live on Cape Cod - 40 years - and since retiring last year, have had the urge to leave this beautiful Heaven on Earth, but only when the “where and when” resonate with my spirit. Where are you in the world, if you don’t mind me asking.... Oh! I am 5’8”!🙂🙃🙂 Bless you, Cathy!
Similar but 20yrs younger...I always wanted to build a little clubhouse or treehouse and I so want to do this as well. Luckily I have 2 acres to do it on. Just afraid hubby won't understand
@@insightbytes2136 So what if he doesn’t. It’s not like it’ll take anything from him if you go outside & have fun doing it. They’re using lots of reclaimed materials so the cost isn’t much at all - so that’s a non issue. It’s mostly just time.
I want one in my garden!
@Cathy, I hope you do this. I want to do this too, though perhaps a different shape. Nowadays you can even RENT out things like this through the various camp/tent rental sites, so if you build one you might be able to make profit with it.
I LOVE this! Thank you for taking the time to show how you did all of this. I'm a woman and all of my adult life I have wanted to know how to build a shack. I've never understood a lot of the most basic of building ideas (no one ever taught me), but I feel like I learned a lot from this. What a great dad!
I never had any one teach me he is a great dad
yeah alot comes down to Supporting every wall i.e. nailing those 45 degrees planks and just well thought out space management. the table with holding planks next to them .... I also love spending time in the woods eaven better with my dad have done alot with him (^‿^) we are like best buddys
Beautiful, wonderful and marvelous to spend time with a family. I enjoy just to see two men in 21st century enjoyed your cabin. Congratulations dad and son. I think it was a time that both didn't forget anymore. I will call my grandchildren just to see this video. I loved to see all video. Thanks for share with us. 🙏 🇧🇷
I just want to say, I think that it's dope that you spend time with your dad doing things like this. This might come off as sappy or cliche but the world needs this kind of father son interaction. Awesome build as well! Keep on keeping on.
You should probably use some of the metal (that you used for the roof) to create a heat shield by the wood burning stove.
My country isn't on full lockdown, there's a little field where no one goes and there's a shop nearby that leaves pallets in their car park.. I think you know where I'm going with this
Haha take advantage of it!
i hope you ain't stealing
How did it go?
I know, you wanna build a chicken coup just like the one in the video
@@JohnnyBravo1977 I would happily live in that coup.
I have NEVER watched a UA-cam video this long! It was amazingly addictive. The editing was superb and the lack of music or voice track some how made it dramatic which is unusual for a DIY video. Loved your close-ups and story telling with no words as well as your editing to keep the action going! You (meaning whichever one or both of your gifted selves) have a future in film making!!! Oh, and Hell yes I subscribed.
Same here, I am usually bored after 30 mins of a long video but I was hooked on this one. I admit that 40 minutes in I switched to running it on double speed, but that did not detract from it's quality and value at all LOL. Loved it.
i agree. the technique kept me from possibly getting annoyed by anyone's voice. As well as showing the beauty of a couple guys working in stoic silence. Thanks for that.
@@bwilhelm4214 -u
You not only used pallets to build the cabin but you built it off the grid and out in the woods where you have access to lumber that you also did not pay for. It was a very resourceful build. I love the stove, how you made guard rails out of trees for the porch, a place for firewood, you built all of your little bit of what furnishings you needed. People think I am weird because I want to build a tiny home off the grid and homestead-- and I am a woman!! There like, WHAT!?!?! I am divorced and I have no kids, just a dog. What do I need a huge house for? I mean really! Makes perfect sense to me.

Tonya Bailey: I'm with You Tonya! I've been looking for property with 1 or more natural spring's on it, for a little over 3 years now. I've got lot's & lot's of plan's that will provide me with all the fish, meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, herbs & spices etc. I will need. I had everything that I ever wanted in Oregon, but then my wife passed & I sustained debilitating injuries which led to me loosing my home, property(s), vehicles & 2 small but profitable businesses & everything else I worked my butt off to have. I was told that I would "Never walk again" by 2 Dr.'s.. 15 year's apart & they were both right, for about a year. But it's hard to keep a good man or woman down. I can walk & get around ok, I recon I'm kicking again, not very high, but I'm kicking. Also I have faith in GOD & I believe that I will achieve my goals. And I will Pray for You to achieve all of Your goals also Tonya. Getting back to basics & living off the land (as much as possible) will provide us with the things we need, to start the next chapter in our lives. May peace & happiness always be with You Tonya, I Pray that You will be successful in everything You do. I also Pray that You will find & keep Tottal happiness in Your life.
Mereana Andrew You ruined it by declaring 10 thousand other women do it.
^ she made it better for me, an 18 yr old girl since i had no idea other women were actually keen on this idea, and if anything that comment added to my confidence.
I'd much rather have a place to myself like this.
So I care, Mereana. Bugger off.
I am a woman too and that looks like an amazing project. As a woman, I don't know if I could go that long without talking though. lol I hope you follow your dream.
anybody notice how nice that dirt look, man looks like those leaves decompose really good.
Underrated comment
Plenty of microorganisms in it that will promote wood rot.
i saw that to.....and was thinking a summer crop would grow like crazy
Good point. Should have probably set it up on blocks. The deadfall should produce some good grub worms. Taste like chicken. 😂
I noticed! Good black soil!
Your statement @ 1:02:50 explains it ALL. I teared up several times watching this entire video. I'd be very happy building a shit-shack with my Dad if he gave me enough of his time - He's Alive but I doubt that would ever happen. Your Dad gave you so many building and self-confidence lessons to you without saying a word. Show this video to your kids - You're a lucky guy!
It's the other way around with me, I'm the dad and I built my shed with my son. I trained him how to safely use the nail gun and I allowed him to do all the fixing. We both loved the time spent together. Now he's got a gf and I hardly ever see him but our shed still stands and the memories are still there. I couldn't have imagined doing the same thing with my dad, he's never told me he loves me and I'm 46, or my mother in fact. Good luck pal.
+4x4 & Ponds UK Thank you for being such a loving father to your son. You're a great Dad, and I'm glad he has you there for him. Have a wonderful day!
@@northzero2390 My Dad just called me the other day to say he has started Therapy - Yeah, with a Therapist. He's 71. We'll see where it goes! I'm 46 as well and have a 2.5 yr old Daughter - One of her favorite toys is a plastic cordless drill ~ It's going to be Fun to do projects with her! Hope everyone is doing well :)
@@ggnombe3832 Perfect words and well said, Brother!
yes very blessed man i cried 2
Love the boxes and jars full of rusty bent nails. These guys don't waste anything and I like that a lot. Would have been cool if the cabin was big enough for two beds.
.
Koel
That's what I would like it a little bigger so they both can stay their.
@Jesus My Savior excellent idea!!!
I agree, I thought it was a pity it was only big enough for one.
Cannot wait to get my pallet cabin underway. I'm so inspired by the videos of you and your father working alongside one another. My hat is off to you both.
Way back in the day many pallets were still made of oak. We would have a man come get them from where I worked and he even offered money but we just gave them to him. one day he invited us over to his place to see what he did with those pallets. he had made the most beautiful oak furniture from old patterns new patterns. most of the pieces you would have thought had come from somebody's well-to-do grandparents! he made the most beautiful furniture dressers cabinets as in China closets with glass! he collected old windows and Incorporated them into the furniture stained glass you name it he made it! he was an incredible woodworker. he made dovetail drawers. everything was done the old fashion way and these pieces of furniture we're going to last a lifetime and be passed down. he let us all choose something. There were three of us. he had made some things with pine also. Oak pallets are hard to find these days. but they were heavy so I always knew to separate them for him. I like the fact that he could use the cheaper ones too. It's just that they have a lot more flaws. And a lot of them are just soft wood not even as good as Pine. but I certainly will never forget what that man did with pallets.💜🐸
Gomez l Addams thank you for this story 🙂
Natalie Douglas WOW that's great,never thought anyone would see it. It is one of my favorite memories about a person nobody knew.But made not necessarily nice assumptions about their life or the way they live. I never judged him. He was quiet and didn't really speak he just simply asked for the pallets and one day after many years we got to find out what he did with them. he was an older man and he had learned the trade from his father and grandfather. Who had a very rough tragic life. But they still manage to teach their son and Grandson this talent and he kept it going no matter what. I knew he was a good person but it was nice to see the talent that He had. I was in awe of his work. I'm wondering if he could still be alive I sure would like to find him. If I would have been smarter back then I would have tried to help him sell the furniture he had so much piled up. if we only knew. This hindsight thing is starting to get to me a little bit. or I could have just said you're welcome. I just can't seem to help it.💜🌏🌍🌎
Thank you 4 the story.
Rl Badger 💜🐸
Rl Badger like I said above I didn't think anybody would even see it. I'm not well right now and I'm kind of blind so I use voice to text. And it sure does mess up a lot I get teased. I really wish I could do a better job at telling his story I used to be a fairly articulate writer. I'm trying to figure out how much older he was than myself. he wore the same clothes always and he looked very dirty but his house was well kept very simple. I know a couple of people that I did bring to him paid quite a few thousand dollars for the pieces that they got and I'm talking like the 1980s so he got paid well for those I don't know about the rest there was so much I don't even think he was telling people about his talent I would have liked to have had like a showing! where he could sell off stuff. I almost think he was afraid of losing it because the pallets were disappearing and he put so much time into each piece I don't think he used one Electric Tool I think he did everything by hand there was no electricity out there! Except for the light fixture above but I think he did most of his work in the daytime anyone out about once a month and got pallets at least for us. But we were also more willing to hang on to him for him. I also helped him with his animals I think that's why he let us come get furniture. it's amazing how some people are so talented and never get known and some people are not that talented to become so famous. I'm quite Melancholy today so the story is making me feel sad exclamation point along with the rest of everything else. take care💜🐸
I'm 15, and I think I'll build a place for me and my friends to hang out at in the summer with the help of my father, thank you for this. It has inspired me a lot.
Neegan Anderson i wish i had my dad still
Sorry about that man, I know how it feels.
thats what i want to do and it worked just build it bit by bit and u will get there
If I were you, I will call my dad too. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
😉
AWSOME cameraman. Great knowledge and ingenuity. Learned more watching than annoying Gibberish. Spectacular comraderie. Rare between father and son...
This reminds me of a build that my friends and I did a few years ago. A build like this, is not perfect by the measuring tape or square, because it's PERFECT by the measure of time with Dad, or anyone special in your life for that matter. Thank You both for sharing this experience with us all.
Probably still has faster internet than my house
U feel u
Slow Internet sucks.
LOL! U win the Interwebs today! ~signed, a long-time wilderness mountain dweller...

Great job
I couldn’t stop watching for some reason
Great editing I guess
I felt the same way. The camera work was actually really great. an hour video with no speaking or music; yet was so mesmerized.
such precise and intense work, I am a 73 year old woman who loves this kind of stuff. Thank You!
shabbychicdew hello, Have a good day there. Greetings from a gentleman in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Beautiful! Doesn't matter what the cabin looks like (it's perfect!) But time and education from Dad is the absolutely the best!
Now I know the meaning of RUGGED! 💪
Great job guys! 🔨🏠
More dads like you and the world would have better men! 🏆Blessings.✨
Yeah.. Is this father and son working together? If so its beautiful. I always wish my father was still alive to do this sort of activities.. :( At least i have a daughter and she seems to be very creative and stuff :) Hopefully we can do some cool projects..
Oh my God you guys did a beautiful job
13:03 It's hella dark in there he needs to put a torch down before mobs start spawning in his base
Slide Time did you just😂
_No swearing in my Minecraft server you hecking heck._
That was Super Awesome! ❤💗💖💕
Slide Time are you kidding me... a mine craft reference over REAL LIFE
Pourquoi il. A du monde qui dislike ?
No talking, no cell phones, no electricity, SIGN ME UP
We loved the video, it brought back memories. My dad tore down several buildings(dirty work) to get enough material to build a garage so seeing you straightening nails was heartwarming. Thank you, I'm sure you never thought your video would make an old lady cry but it did . Bless you
How could anybody dislike this video? Amazing guys, absolutely love it.
I built a 10' X 12' pallet cabin and lived in it for 8 years and I had nearly everything a person might desire, I saved a ton of money and learned that possessions can be a bigger burden than a blessing. freedom can mean having less!
@@miadawson4852 your comment is exciting and encouraging. God bless you Mia.
I had no interest in this yet I couldn’t stop watching and now I am in search of pallets. LOL. GREAT VIDEO and precious time with family
A joy to watch. For me, the sounds of work and not talking gave it a zen quality which increased the peacefulness.
I cannot describe how much I wish I could do this with my sons.
Thank you for your gift.
Dan Leclair “a zen quality which increased the Peacefulness”
Well said.
Everybody: I'm gonna go build something out of pallets.
Tears apart two pallets...
OK IM DONE lol
They do make pallet pullers that help pull them apart
Like the caption on the last videos.. Sounds of sawing, hammering, winds, fire cracking, boiled water, drilling.. Its wonderful without speech and music makes it more dramatic.. Having a father and son spending time together that count..!
Amazing video! Thanks for inspiring me to see that this is possible. The thing I loved the most was that you guys kept using power tools to an absolute minimum.
The New Chadafrican Philosophy and Critical Theory it's awesome I love this but of course it's possible! How the hell did they build things before power tools lol
The New Chadafrican Philosophy and Peak Oil im with you man i have an old school hand drill i been dying to use lol
The New Chadafrican Philosophy and Peak Oil Why? Is there something wrong with power tools? Are we running out of energy... I,e.peak oil... I hope you know”PEAK OIL’” was always a fabrication...we won’t be running out for hundreds maybe thousands of years
Exactly
All joking aside, excellent video! What a great time you must have had with your father building this cabin.
Congratulations.
I am a 64 year old woman who will learn how to do this, i love it, working with my hands, starting and completing a project and so much fun knowing u r self reliant. Thank u for the time, effort and love between father and son u put into this. With someone would start a class to teach our young people how to do these very important things.
The best part is at the end.. The picket fence idea was brilliant.. Am I the only one who wished they had a couple cans of expanding insulation foam, A little goes along ways..
Oscar Mayer a little does go a long way! I want saw somebody spray it underneath their enclosed iron bathtub not knowing how much they were spraying in there and how it expands and they actually cracked their bathtub! I was shocked because I was young and it was a seemingly new product to me and they thought they were insulating something we're animals were going into and they use so much that there was no space for it to go and apparently there were no holes from animals. it was shot in underneath it fast and it was so fast that when it expanded the bathtub just shattered a solid iron bathtub! I have much respect for the expanding foam LOL
This video is really special. My father passed away 4 years ago tomorrow. He could do stuff like this with one arm behind his back, he had that "dad" knowledge.
I watched the whole thing. Thank you.
Miss ya, Dad.
This was so satisfying to watch - Just over an hour well spent watching you Two awesome guys build a home!
kumasuke1 I
Absolutely brilliant. I homsteaded in NE British Columbia in 1973. I did the same thing you guys have done alongside my father back on the farm. Money was tight back then. Cherished memories for me. Happy to see both of you working together. Cheers!
I WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO. IT WAS A VERY GOOD, UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE TO WATCH YOU GUYS BUILD AND RE-USE YOUR RESOURCES. I'M GONNA SHOW THIS TO MY GRANDSON SO HE CAN LEARN THAT MATERIALS ARE NOT UNLIMITED AND SHOULD BE REUSED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
Fascinating! Life IS short!! Gonna drag my son out to do similar things this spring and summer... very motivational and inspiring video. We learn and teach together. Salute!
If my dad wasn't in such bad shape I'd love to do something like this with him but he tends to be a prick and yell at me a lot to the point I'm sick of being around him but he is my dad and I'll always love him
Drag your son out he wont want too go out kids are lazy now but who cares he will thank you in the future
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
I’m sorry I’m seeing this so late but, this is an excellent video. I wasn’t going to watch the whole video at first but, what got me hooked was it looked like a guy and his dad doing a project together. Some of my best memories are doing projects with my dad. Btw, that’s about a million dollar cabin out here in Ca. LOL ! Great job.
I watched the whole thing it was that good

I watched it all. Very interesting.
so did I. it was very interesting.
U would have probly painted the insides white. The walks and roof. Other wise its perfect. Ready to put one on my back yard. 😆😃😉
I'm so glad I watched this video. I had time this morning and was wondering if I could build a small cabin in my plot to keep the tools, instead of buying a ready-made one. I found it so inspiring to watch you, for not only was it useful but emotionally fulfilling to recover the sense of individual capacity to solve problems. So great! Thanks a lot.
This is by FAR the best thing I've seen on UA-cam yet! The men in my family (great-grandfather, grandfather and father) were all carpenters and watching you gentlemen build brought back many fond memories, thank you for bringing this to a younger generation who might not otherwise really see the craft and the art form in creating with your hands. Peace! 👍
Then you should be a carpenter, too, no?
@@nancycoleman330 I wish I had that skill set but alas I don't 😢 but I'm a mom who can wallpaper and put together Ikea furniture.. That should count for something, lol
Wow. I am so impressed!!! You and your dad are brilliant and skilled!!! I see you cherish this build with your dad. He has taught you well. I believe this is how God intended us to live. Simply and with family. I have learned so much from you both. Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
You're blessed to have such a determined father ! He is one of a kind his teachings will forever be helpful. Especially to those withouts dad's like him
Wow, Amazing! I love watching your video and thanks for making great video sharing to the world!
А в чем смысл постройки этой халабуды? Типа туристы-выживальщики? Хоть бы на камни поставили платформу. Низ же сгниет через год. И кстати с каких это поддонов доски по 2 метра?
В общем цель , просто разместить видео "как мы с другом делаем будочку"
Pervij raz vizu 4to dvoe nesut palet(on daze ne evropeiskij). Za4em ani vse delajut pod urovenj jesle fundmenta net. Na odin ugol nastupil on u6ol v zemlju. Vesj urovenj delai zanava. A tembolee posle dozdja polovini etoi budki nebudet. Kri6u polinilisj zdelatj. S takim uspehom takie listi i po bokam mogli zdelatj. Polnostju soglasen video s celju video,no propravlju ne budo4ku a sarai4ik.
Домик бомжа. Всяко лучше чем картонная коробка от холодильника...
Смысл реклама печки и ножа вот весь смысл ...
есть палеты европеиские под гипс они двухметровые но стоят они здесь по 25 евро за штуку так что слишком дорогая халабуда у них вышла
a couple crafty old and, not so old, woodsman!! Flush any negative comments....it's pure jealousy! This little place is PERFECT!!! Can't say enough about how impressed I was to watch this creation develop!!
Second time l have watched. I love it especially the finishing touches and that amazing little wood stove! I am 75yo woman and clostrofobic. I am building a pallet shed for my husband to repair his motorcycle using only what l have on the small farm. I am having the time of my life because of vidios like this. Thank you guys!
Now this is quality content that I want to see
When I was overseas in the ‘70’s we went thru a small fishing village. There was an artillery training range nearby. The nicest house was made from discarded shell pine boxes.

Legend has it that they never spoke to one each other during all the time it took to make this...
I really enjoy your videos. Your Dad reminds me of my own Father. I don't know how many nails I pulled with the old Crescent nail puller when I was a youngster. We tore down old buildings and reused the lumber. One of my main jobs was straightening the nails on an old piece of railroad rail. I came from a large family of twelve children and we didn't have much money. We learned to recycle, repurpose, and re-use at an early age. I still keep cans of salvaged nails, screws, bolts, hinges, springs, etc. in my workshop.
I really like it. No music in the background or people talking nonstop. Just the natural sounds of the hammer, drill or saw. Fantastic
no word no music excellent video
nuff said
Exactly. Peaceful alternative to a loud mouth a-hole or crappy music
There was music! It was created by the sound of tools!
100% pure naturals
Thought I'd watch this for about 5 minutes max like other YT stuff and skip to something else but did the whole film! It was great
"When your son comes home from college and doesn't want to move back in with you" project. 😂 or "The Doghouse - for when mom gets mad at you both."
This was awesome! Thank you both for the documentation of this.
I just came across your channel and I think this is absolutely awesome, the cabin of course but the relationship you have with your dad is heartwarming. I wish there was more of that these days (parents and children being close and there for each other). God Bless you both.
*Family Gathering*
Dad: I don’t know why anyone’s homeless I can make a cabin in the woods for less then $20.
Son: Bet you you can’t
Dad: Hold my bear you’re comin with me.
Exactly how this video started lol. Just took it and ran.
I would love to be taught how to build a little cabin or shed using recycled palettes!
But it has No protection against Grizzly beers
lmfao so true
Hold your bear? You have a tamed bear? Is he still a cub or is he full grown? What are you... Gentle Ben? No ... wait ... Ben was the bear. Is your bear named, "Ben"?
(yes, I know it was either typo or a spelling mistake, but I couldn't resist)
Every Community has its problems.
Slick work all round and great use of what would have been otherwise disposable wood ~Peace~
Cheers Zed
Dudes!!! You guys are legendary! I'm freaking out about how awesome this project is! Wow!
I love this - so inspiring. I loved the Guiness hanging shelf and the hanging outdoor grill (would like to see that set up) - the perfect saw horse and how crazy was that start of the rope wrapping twirling - so cool - the burning stump was so clever (just gotta be careful it doesn't travel underground if a dry summer), I seemed to guess what was coming next but was waiting for the outhouse - where is that? a mirror ? lol but I guess just to check you are still there. All of it amazing and with your dad (lost my when I was 9yo). Thank you.
I LOVE IT. no talking. just work. kept me glued all the way. keep it up guys!
Someday I want one of these so I can one day just disappear and leave all the a-holes of the earth behind.
Couldn't agree with you more
Do it! I plan to!
First time seeing your channel on this video. Inspirational. Just earnt a sub from me. Hope the older chap was your father. What a great bonding experience building that. Breathe takingly good video with the lack of communication in it. Speechless. Great job. Would love to go exploring with you
here's a tip for anyone building a house like this line the walls inside with paper animal feed bags you can get them from chicken farms or dairy farms ask if you can have them they most times just toss them out .a complete single layer of the bags will stop most drafts and bring the temperature inside the little house up a lot just from stopping drafts . I had a old garage built around 1910 that was built from house scrap and it was ridiculously drafty then I lined it with feed bags from my pigs and chickens and a few from my cows feed by the time I was done I had 4 or 5 layers up stairs and down stairs it raised the temperature in winter by 20 degrees without a heater and I'm in up state New York.
its such a great feelings to finish the project, with free materials etc. and spent time with the help of father, and a great time for short visit to relax in that cabin. memories you've always remember. its fun to watch bec. I love outdoor activities too.
I honestly did not intend to watch this entire video..now I'm half way in and fully invested!... this is awesome!! I want to go in and decorate it now!🤣
I have been watching your videos now for the last month. I am a construction worker and have 2-3months off at a time during our slow times of year. I am really going to try to build something similar over the next year or so in the back bush on the farm we rent. Just need the ok from our landlord (farmer). Keep up the amazing work on the videos and lifestyle. Can't wait for new vids.

“I am off to the office, dad is coming with me” 😉👨🏼🦳🧔🏽🌲🍻. Well done you two, really hope you never tell anyone where it is, and enjoy the crap out of it .... 👏🏽🖖🏽👏🏽 This the Webster’s definition of “Doing what you can with what you have”.😓 time I never had with my dad.
:O
I love this Cabin. Using recycled materials is what I like to see. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You should live in a landfill? All the free garbage you'll ever need to repurpose! Think of the possibilities! You could make a toilet out of an old rusty bucket, pile garbage bags for a bed, and I'll bet there's a lifetime supply of used toothbrushes!
@@gandalfstormcloud7514 That may be the future🤣🤣🤣
That was off the hook.... Quite honestly I never watch videos of this length in their entirety..... But I was amazingly intrigued by the ingenuity, expedience and resourcefulness displayed...Specifically like the recycling of items, the construction of saw horses using tree limbs, the mud pencil, a measuring device made out of a tree branch....
Great video guys.... If the SHTF and we were reduced to live in "primitive" conditions, we would do well by having friends like you!!
Thanks for sharing....
I wish me and my dad had this kind of relationship
SSK NATION SHOW HIM THIS VIDEO!
DELTA DAWN PUBLISHING nah my dad is the type to just poke fun at things I like
Same
Thats his boyfriend not his dad
r/incels
These guys just built a cabin out of pallet wood that is nicer than my house..
As a father i am verry glad i watched this. Well done.
Don't you even think about NOT using a coaster. LOL, gotta stay civilized.
You guys are amazing! I want to do something like this. I actually watched the whole thing. Thanks for sharing!
Seeing you guys re-using wood made me glad. It brought back memories of my childhood, watching and helping my dad add onto our frame 3-room 'shot-gun' house. Bless you, thanks for sharing!
So sorry about your dad. I'm sure this video means that much more now. Cheers to you for spending quality time with him. You are right, life is short.
I think you may be confused, his Dad hasn’t passed away, he’s still alive and going strong.
so great his dad is there helping. they seem like very good people! beautiful cabin too!
I think it's the son helping the Dad... 😉
Nice job. Hope it lasts in your climate. All of that raw wood in contact with the ground would rot quickly in the southeastern U.S..
Hi
I’m a home builder and my first instinct was to be critical but after watching more and reading your post, I must say I’m impressed. I would do things a little differently, as I’m sure others have expressed, but well done. I hope you enjoy it and the time spent together for a long, long time. I am building a tree house with my teen daughters and we are having a great time.
First thought was get it off the ground, and insulate it better. But other than that, it was fairly creative building using pallets.
Czym to było nagrywane??? Doskonała jakość !!!!
Thank you for building with your daughters. Dad built etc. with me and I treasure that time above all. And it cost nothing but time!
I love these videos with you and your dad working side by side . I know you will never forget that time spent together . It is priceless !
Best hour plus with no spoken English I have enjoyed, since I saw "Quest for Fire" great stuff. I truly enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing,
Cheers,
Gorbag
When you realize your time is short with the ones you love this means everything.
