    This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

      But building homes are different than coops, sheds & barns. Also if you must follow code in your area then there are a lot of other rules to follow also. So beware. Not all building are built the same.

    I read the entire Ryan’s ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.

      If you plan to live year-round off the grid, you should take a look at "Life Uncontained" UA-cam channel as they have built a solar array, catch and store rainwater, and more. It took them a while to make it fully livable year round but lived in a camper and barn until it was livable.

      Having near zero spatial awareness and dyscalculia is my problem. That's why I might need to get a ready cut house package with instructions.😂 But a house like this for a holiday home is something that's very common in my country. Spending your weekends and summer holidays in a small cabin with usually very little to no amenities is the norm, and a cabin would probably turn into a full time residence sooner rather than later if I ever get one built. 😊

    My dad wrecked me. I spent so many hours watching him build stuff, I see a video like this, and frankly, it's better than any movie. It's fascinating, it has cliffhangers (like how is he going to _____? fill in the blank), and a satisfying end. Nothing I enjoy more. Thank you for all the work of filming (and editing) this entire basic build.I REALLY enjoyed the commentary. I love watching other channels, but often, they don't explain the basic stuff like you do, so when I'm missing information, I know it's coming. Thoroughly enjoyable! Stay Radical!

    Thank you, Dave, for another compelling and soothing video. If I was young, I would be out there doing what you are doing, but I am now wheelchair-bound and can't go out of my home without an ambulance because I have no ramp for my wheelchair. So I truly do live vicariously by watching others do what I would love to do. I have always been a nature lover and up until about five years ago, I was always walking, taking hikes, and finding nature wherever I could find it. But this is my cross that I must bear, and it has brought me to a place where I can rest completely and peacefully in God, for He is good. 🙂

    Dave, I really can't thank you enough for these videos. A few years back we baught a 12x20 "Amish built" shed for my son and finished out the inside as a dry cabin (his intellectually disabled and can't live on his own, but understands the concept of growing up and moving out on account of his 3 siblings...this was a way to give him a sense of ownership and separation without risking a lack of supervision which he requires). This really sparked a desire in us to buy a substantial peice od land and make a family camp. Our family is split into 2 states on either side of the Appalachian range and so the plan is to build 7 small living structures and a "bath house" (water catchment shower/sauna/outhouse) and a large communal outdoor kitchen with covered roof. Some of our kids are looking at hard sided yurts, one brother is looking at permanent travel trailer shed with solar powered batteries for hookups, and the "teenager generation" is very excited to live in dug out structures and tree houses they build themselves. The newlyweds are excited about raising the grand children in the wilderness away from the trappings of modern amenities. You've given us great inspiration and really wonderful instruction and tips. 🙏💚

    I was lucky enough to find 5/8" plywood from shipping pallets to build my entire cabin. I used architectural shingles as siding and it keeps the squirrels and mice out. I used the T 1-11 siding for the outhouse and the squirrels have absolutely chewed holes everywhere. Nothing beats a 2 person cabin in the back country. My wife refuses to go with me (too primitive) so i found an abandoned baby beagle pup last year who is more than happy to take her place at the cabin. He's even got his own recliner.

    You may want to replace the screws that hold in the windows with ones that can't be backed out. I built a cabin with a southern wall that was all windows. I am a winter guy. I was gone a week. When I returned all the windows, doors, fireplace and propane fridge and the solar st up on the roof was gone. I am sure if I were to be gone longer I may have lost the whole cabin. Trail cameras all over the property and at all access points is also a good Idea. The Sheriff told me people watch for people building summer cabins. Caught a guy that stole a whole cabin. Loaded it on a trailer. He only got caught because he didn't have a permit to hull a 10' wide structure.. He also recognized the tiny home...

    I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.

Starting with getting the land cheap due to the type of land then followed by helping me to realize I "don't" have to permanently disappear but rather use it for that honest, true retreat and then back to the regular way of living. I can take this video with me and literally accomplish this goal. It may take me twice as long but I now know, with this, I can do it.

    Your voice is pleasant and comfortable to listen to. No manufactured drama. Im 76 yrs old and could watch these all day and i dont know whats happening half the time but i know it's going to work out. Thanks, dave. Keep doing you. ❤

    I would’ve suggested siphoning the water but then you’d need a hose where likely didn’t have one. That bucket and strap came in very handy at the moment. Great video!

    David, I work all year for opening day. Let me tell you, MAJOR kudos to you for your respect to the hunters! That was a Stand-up move sir.... Fantastic build as well. I'm an E-tech (oilfield service in North Dakoda) on my "down time" binge watching yours and Brooke's videos. Solid man! Really solid!

    I have been meaning to comment to you or Brooke. You guys need a Root Assassin! My husband has taken out so many tree roots, and when I got him this, he has actually enjoyed cutting out the roots. No affiliation, just a super happy customer.

    Dave, God Bless you and the family. I used to work with insulation and developed a really bad allergy, to this day, being exposed to it. I agree it ain't fun. Your sense of humor and "looks" at the camera were classic! Watch the stove burning off or insulation? Hmmm....stove!

    I have to say, I really like your channel, and after years of randomly stumbling on your videos I finally subscribed. I enjoy how you are upfront about what makes sense to be off-grid and what realistic trade-offs are, instead of grifting your audience like some "off-grid" channels do that pretend they never need help or don't present the actual challenges of off-grid construction. I hope to afford to build my own spot to disappear to with my family when ever we need it, and your videos give a lot of great ideas.

    Dave, absolutely fantastic, from the ledger boards with insulation to the T-111 exterior boards, the deck with a live spruce tree is simply an amazing build. If I was a younger man and had the property to build a cabin like this, I would follow along with this exact same build. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    When I started watching the short video, I thought I could watch Dave build cabins all day long. Then, when this video dropped, I was pumped to watch it all over again with even more content! Something about the calming confidence in your voice, even when facing several hundred pounds of un-wanted water. Thanks for being Radical!

  • @MrJohnmarr

    Thanks for this Dave. There’s a lot of these types of videos out there now but yours is truly the gold standard. Brilliantly edited and narrated and fascinating to watch from beginning to end. Approaching 5M views so I think a few people agree. More please!

  • @hordesCoffee

    That is some rich sand. The darker the dirt, the better for crops. Having that richness of the soil will improve harvest. Fantastic video sir? Enjoy watching you construct foundations and framing. Great piece. I worry about your back sheeting plywood. We used an 8 ft stud to make a plywood ladder. That just attaching a 2x2 across the stud about half way up. Then place the plywood sheeting on the lip, ( you're not pulling that much). Hope I described it clearly. Keep up the good work hoss?

  • @kevola5739
    @kevola5739 Рік тому +5

    I was sure you were going to say “Brooke always offers you the first bite, but I’m not Brooke!” That cherry pie filling on toast sounds too good to share. I can relate to forgetting a stud in the framing process but I usually end up nailing a stud on the wrong side of the line location. I’m not sure PT lumber is as good as it used to be, even the below grade stuff doesn’t seem to have the preservative penetration it used to have. Your building skills outclass mine so I’m glad you keep the teaching simple for me to follow. A cabin build is a spiritual thing.

I'm always stoked when either of you guys post, but if you don't, I just know you're out in the woods somewhere, being radical, and getting happy. Thanks for the videos and for your faith, your great attitude and your work ethic. It is so refreshing to me.

I know how much work goes into not only building but also your videos as well! Bless you and your family!

    Thank you for taking the time to show your work. I am hoping to share this with some young men/ teens and am hoping to inspire them in their search for their place in this world. Please say a prayer for them and for me. Much thanks for your work. I have a tiny building, which is my "home office/ bedroom and did the insulation myself, lol, along with a lot of finishing details. It is a labor of love and I am still working on my space, which is not off-grid, but still a lot of work.

    Such a pleasure to watch, Dave! From the overall build to the narration you really nailed this build--pun intended! The Upper Peninsula is so beautiful it just makes an ideal setting for cabins like yours. I really look forward to your finish video in the spring, and maybe you can include a short segment showing every tool and their primary use plus cost. Thank you for such quality content, and that includes your outstanding film work and editing. Well done! Like button smashed!!

    I am a big fan of your wife's "Girl in the Woods". So I am so glad to see one of yours. Really like your work and have a question. Do you ever use dehydrated camping/emergency food? If yes, what is the best (looking for a good one)? If no, have you talked about/considered it for your cabins? My age and disabilities keep me from putting into practice what I have learned, watching the two of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with all of us. I am sure there a quite a few who will take your lessons and put them to good use. Prayers for you and your family are on my prayer wall. God bless and keep you both safe on your journey.

    Well, here it is 2 am. I fell asleep watching videos on chicken coops and up to your video. I not only watched the whole thing, I'm in love with everything that you've done. I especially appreciate your simplistic views on enjoying the woods and
    Simple things like having breakfast and just looking out amongst the snow. I can't wait to watch this all over again.

    Thanks for posting the deep dive! I look forward to your videos more than pretty much any other person on YT. So, after finishing the video on this cabin build, I was psyched to hear you had a version where you covered the build in depth. (Built an outhouse on our property based on the build you did with your brother. Turned out awesome!)
    Love your work and, just as importantly, the philosophy you're putting out there. These are crazy days and we can all use some down to earth good sense and values like you bring. Keep it up!

    Awesome Dave. I have been watching you for about a year, and completed my first 8x8x11 structure using 95% reclaimed materials. You inspired me to get out there and get my hands dirty, and the whole process was a huge learning experience. Using reclaimed and imperfect materials certainly added to the learning process. Thank you and keep the videos coming my friend. There is a new structure on the back acre of an 80 acre farm I was living on because of you. Thanks and take care.

You have much to proud of in your life, helping and inspiring others are only 2 of them. You and Brooke have inspired me to build a cabin on my property, won’t be off grid - but will have a woodstove. I’m a bit over 60, so those of you who are older….dream big and go for it!!!
