Very nice. I don't know where the cabin is located, nor do I know of what temperature ranges you all have to deal with, but speaking from years of personal experience, your wood pile wouldn't last a week during the winter, even here in the Sierra Nevada foothills where our typical lows never get below 10 degrees Fahrenheit . Here we have used 9 cords of seasoned oak in one winter as a usual practice. Wood is our only source of heat so I have a good idea of what it takes to heat a house here, it is my guess that it will take considerably more for you all depending on how cold it gets there. It looks as if the wood is a soft wood of some sort, so I would guess you have less than a weeks supply stored up where we could see it. Time to get cracking and get some wood in before snow really flies
nice! soon you will find the solar is located to far from the cabin. Your solar equipment should be located in/connected to the house. 2 reasons, 1. batteries will freeze. 2. power bleed. freezing will ruin your batteries, & power bleeds as it travels the wires to the house. Personally when we lived out off grid, I chose to have a propane chest freezer. More storage & I could make ice bottles for the icebox. For the person who asked yes you can burn pine. It is all but a hard wood up there. They grow so slowly the rings are so tight, when dried they are similar to hard wood. If you choose to put in fruit Trees up there they must be grafted onto crabapple trees. They are the only fruit tree that can handle the permafrost.
I have wood,coal for heat as of now I live country. .I was raised with no electricity, running water, or no television, yes I said television....it loved my years as a child..it hope one day to live in alaska..oh and our house was a sawmill lumber house, loved it as well. and my father wouldn't allow us kids to play cards he thought they were bad news, but all in all.....it loved my up bringing lifestyle !!!
*Next time you are missing a string to level - try the water level technique. Fill a hose with water and lay it on the ground between the pilings ( **tinyurl.com/y27env9r** ). Then lift up both ends so you can see the water inside; one to the starting spot and the other to the spot you want to level. The water in the hose at each end will tell you exactly where level is.*
Very nice Cabin. Well done and may you enjoy the fruits of your labor ever after. please consider moving that stove from the wall by at least 12 inches or use a metal plate panel around it for safety.
When my Dad and I,decided years ago, to build our Cabin on a large piece of land we own,with a trout river,up in the FRENCH mountains,we worked hard on making a perfect isolation work,so then we built a secondary front entrance,so you'll get in, close the first door,shake yourself and then open the cabin door(so when minus 15°,you keep the heat inside,all our windows were made of very thick Plexi-Glass,bolted from the exterior(4 cm)(Bear proof,for sure),then we built a big barn 10 meters away from the cabin,and again made a passage from the cabin to the barn,again with Plexi-glass with a thick pine wooden floor,the barn has a large entrance door for our snow-mobiles and sleds and an exit door on the other side,so no backing-up..!!!Hay in the barn,for two dunky a few sheep,chicken and ducks for fresh eggs and meat....And cutting up deers,hogs and fish,we heat up with wood,but have gaz back-up and petrol heaters,we have two outside props and a rack on 12 large batteries,salvaged from a Sail boat,all lighting inside and outside is LED...But there is always something to improve for comfort,my DAD is 75 now,but he just built a great meat and fish smoker with two large drums welded on top of each other.........
Awesome setup..... That's a great cabin. Most people would be glad to live there year round. This guys voice is very calming. It reminds me of the narrator for the old Winnie the Pooh cartoons, lol. Great video, thanks for posting.
that looks very cozy!! just a quick comment on the propane fridge... back in the 80's my cousin was in a cabin with 4 or 5 other kids and the exhaust pipe for the propane stove broke in the middle of the night and killed all 5 in their sleep. Watch out for that! get a carbon monoxide detector. cheers!
If you ask me, propper toilet and tilled bathroom is the first, and king size bed the second. Then would go wooden stove for cooking, why to be dependant on gas, or to transport gas, is it easier to chop wood and be independent? All other things seems excellent.
Rich I thought for sure I was going to see a tiny rough cabin...you fooled me brother, your living in luxury. Nice cabin, Im sure it was alot of hard work. love to have one as well, to old now.
This guy doesn't handle the cold. He said he "comes up here," meaning he lives elsewhere and just comes up to shoot the wildlife in summer and fall. Nothing to admire about his cabin or the reason it's there.
we live in a cabin on 100 acres...in the middle of thousands of forest service land. we own our 100 acres. our nearest neighbor is 5 miles away. we love in Idaho. we have NO power..just solar and generators and we like it that way :) everything is propane(stove..fridge.hot water heater)...and wood heat. we have two springs with a solar pump that gives us our water. we have lived like this our whole life.
+Jennifer Buechner Hi, just read this comment, this is great ,my husband and I have always wanted to visit beautiful Idaho, enjoy your great place, we have 23 acres in aTennessee .
Nice, maybe in a year or two I can move to Alaska and have a cabin like this. It look awesome, I tried to count the logs used to build it, seems like some 100 + good size trees are needed.
Great rustic living.....the view is breathtaking....even on the crapper.Just hope you don't have a bear sneak up while dropping the kids off at the pool.Would love to live like that
richard, you should post a video of what it looks like now! ty for the video...i was going to suggest you put underpinning on the bedroom side of the cabin, i'm sure you have already.
Looking forward to the construction of the shooting shack. I wasn't sure when you refinished the Marlin stock but I think it works really well. Nice non-glare finish.
Holy smokes people, the thing is definitely in the bush...and regardless of amenities, it is still a cabin. Hence, a bush cabin. Who the hell gets to decide what constitutes a friggin "bush cabin" anyway? Git a laf!
The wood pile looks way skimpy and the house is very large to be trying to heat when it is below 0 for weeks. It might be wise to move the power supply to the house so that the generator could be kept warm until it is needed I have heard that they won't start when it is super cold .You might need a wood shed so there would be some dry wood to burn when the snow comes. I might keep the old frig to store something in that I didn't want to freeze maybe a storage for the batteries or containers of water. sorry to be so bossy the cabin looks very pretty the view can't be beat.
Love your cabin. Love your John Wayne Poster. For the Last 20 years I have eaten my meals on my John Wayne Plate. Thanks For sharing your wonderful cabin and view...Dar
I live in a house with gas central heating, hot water, cooking. Structure is well insulated with dual pane thermal glass. Full electricity from utility, with supplied telecommunication cable. Just a short drive to most everything you need. Would not want to live hard back in the bush. You can have it!
What a wonderful cabin you guys got.....really phantastic. Imagine you sit in the outhouse without door...enjoying the relief and the view...and suddenly a bear comes toward you....what would you do...? :-)
All I see is Pine trees, no hardwood. Can one burn pine safely in a wood stove? Love your whole mini power grid. A beautiful Cabin and view.... just too many bears for me up there.
Nice house! Much more spacious than it seems when you go inside. It looks quite modern too. But why do you need an outhouse when u already have a toilet inside? It really takes some motivation to go out and take a leak at snowing midnights.
Very nice , when was it built by the previous owner ? I am curious on an approximate cost of your cabin , but I doubt you will tell since you have not commented to anyone's post. Enjoy the life up there.
I bet he dished out 200k or more LMAO easy to prey on them city folk wanting that great Alaskan living dream while they still get to keep all their bad habits...
why have a wood burning stove in the kitchen? just asking...thought you'd keep large amounts of heat away from your fridge to keep it cooler in there , to keep food fresh.. I would put it in the living room in a corner or adjacent from the front door opening. just a thought. maybe a smaller one somewhere else also. should have had a horse trough /bathtub with a insulated drain draining far outside to a French drain. just a thought. nice though.

Sharon Patterson Great tips, thanks :)
Looks very comfy and warm to ride out those long snow storm with the Misses. Lucky man.
Beautiful place! .338 is my hubby’s pride & joy! Nice display of the horns! Best wishes on the lovely homestead!

Thank you for the great tour.
--Rick
Looks like enough wood for about one week, hope you have a much bigger pile. All and all a nice place, enjoy and thanks for the video. take care
Superb place to stay away from the city crowd. I loved the way everything is neat and well managed !
I have wood,coal for heat as of now I live country. .I was raised with no electricity, running water, or no television, yes I said television....it loved my years as a child..it hope one day to live in alaska..oh and our house was a sawmill lumber house, loved it as well. and my father wouldn't allow us kids to play cards he thought they were bad news, but all in all.....it loved my up bringing lifestyle !!!

If you can handle the cold.
SwampDonkey530 this NY'er would love to move there.
This guy doesn't handle the cold. He said he "comes up here," meaning he lives elsewhere and just comes up to shoot the wildlife in summer and fall. Nothing to admire about his cabin or the reason it's there.
Susan Harris You obviously didn't listen to the man.
I feel cozy just watching this.

That is a great looking cabin and what a view!!
Nice, maybe in a year or two I can move to Alaska and have a cabin like this. It look awesome, I tried to count the logs used to build it, seems like some 100 + good size trees are needed.
Awesome! I'd live there in a heartbeat!
Great rustic living.....the view is breathtaking....even on the crapper.Just hope you don't have a bear sneak up while dropping the kids off at the pool.Would love to live like that
I take it you just frequent it during the summer months by the looks of your wood pile?
beatiful house for live, I love it very much thank Sir for my seen, I plan build any one in my garden in Southern in Thailand
That’s awesome I’m happy for you a man should enjoy the fruits of his labor‘s
Nice cabin, thanks for sharing.
That view though, its breath taking
richard, you should post a video of what it looks like now! ty for the video...i was going to suggest you put underpinning on the bedroom side of the cabin, i'm sure you have already.
Looks like heaven to me! You are one lucky dude! Definitely jealous!
Great video! Thanks for sharing such a great setting.
Looking forward to the construction of the shooting shack. I wasn't sure when you refinished the Marlin stock but I think it works really well. Nice non-glare finish.
Love your cabin and awesome view!

Very Nice! Love it!
Great cabin - loved the John Wayne poster lol
Nice place! I dream of an Alaskan cabin but I don't think I'll ever realize that dream.
really nice cabin, i like how u got windows both side windows for air circulation.
Excellent cabin. Would like to see more videos.
Bush cabin..... Hell this a mansion! Love to have one like it on the Oregon Coast.
Beautiful views on your property , that’s what i call good living .
That's a pretty nice "bush" cabin.
Thats A beautiful Camp,,Awesome Views,
That is a fine cabin.I noticed an electrical panel in the bedroom that has a rifle in the antlers. Where does the electricity come from ? cheers !
Very nice, wish I had one like that.
The wood pile looks way skimpy and the house is very large to be trying to heat when it is below 0 for weeks.

I had to click on this, every minds me of an establishment here in Arizona called the Alaskan Bush company. Lol sweet cabin

Nice Cabin and setup!

Being a retired plumber I noticed an 24" roof flashing in the solar shed. Curiosity has me wondering where are you going to use it
cozy and nice lovely
Looks like a wonderful place to live
What a wonderful cabin you guys got.....really phantastic.

Faith Rada softwoods burn well in woodstoves but they burn really quick..your filling the stove every hour
Nice house! Much more spacious than it seems when you go inside. It looks quite modern too. But why do you need an outhouse when u already have a toilet inside? It really takes some motivation to go out and take a leak at snowing midnights.
That,s one amazing place to live!!
Beauty of a Wooden chalet.
That's an awesome cabin, love the ceiling. What's the wood logs like for insulating the place?
Very nice. There is something homey about those Black Spruce forests of the Interior that grow on you. What part of the state are you in?
How long did it take you to build this nice Bush Cabin? Thanks for sharing love it
Steve Rabon filem
Incredible! Perspective. Of your area in Alaska. I live in Nome Alaska.
Nice cabin and also the rifle. If you dont mind what cal. Is ist?
Man, I'd love to have a place like that I could run away too every now and then!!
King sized bed, one pillow!!! Ha ha ha!!! You need a BMW (Big Mountain Woman) and a second pillow. Gotta make the nights as comfortable as the days ;)
Very nice , when was it built by the previous owner ? I am curious on an approximate cost of your cabin , but I doubt you will tell since you have not commented to anyone's post.
Enjoy the life up there.

Amazingly beautiful.
