Log Cabin Build on Off-Grid Homestead |EP27|

[@wildhomestead]

GOOD SUBSCRIBERS AND VIEWERS, I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF RE: THE DOOR! THE BRACING NEEDS TO GO INSIDE AND CROSS BRACE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I WAS RUSHING TO GET IT UP YESTERDAY MORNING (WHICH IS MY EDIT DAY), AND I WASN’T FULLY THINKING AS I KNEW I’D HAVE TO TAKE IT DOWN AGAIN TO INSTALL THE WINDOW IN A FEW WEEKS. THANKS AS ALWAYS FOR POINTING THIS OUT I APPRECIATE YOU ALL! MY APOLOGIES. STRENGTH AND HONOUR TO EACH ONE OF YOU THAT POINTED THIS OUT TO ME. 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲

Part of what makes your series so enjoyable (besides your ridiculous humour 😅) is watching you learn as you go so there will be the odd mistake 🤷‍♀️ you'll be a pro by the time you build the main cabin 🙌

[@WildNorthRiverCabin]

I can't wait to see how this looks after you start the chinking. That is really going to bring it together.

[@slugore]

Most doors swing in to living spaces. Outward swinging can be blocked by snow and ice and trap you inside. It also makes it easy to lock you in with a wedge in the door. Edited to add: I forgot to follow my rule of trying not to only criticize in comments. so. Thank you James for sharing your journey in this series. It takes a lot of courage to do so in front of 10s of thousands of people. You are doing great. Keep up the awesome work.

the hinges can also be knocked out and the cabin busted into super easy.

Tactical tip with the shotgun, dont hang it up, place it low, so if you are injured by wildlife, it allows you to crouch, crawl roll towards so you can grab it to defend yourself further.

[@R3alityBites]

you read my mind bro

[@nathanlowe4508]

Since you have that gap at the top of your door, I would look into putting in a Transom Window. If you can get one that opens, it not only lets in more natural light but can help with airflow too

[@Windys21]

Could just staple some bug mesh up for now?

[@williamwilson6887]

James,
I’d recommend looking for an old steel furnace grate that old homes used to have. They were usually 3’x5’ or so. Once you build your front porch install that grate into the porch just outside the door. When returning to the cabin you can scrape/bang your boots off thus not hauling dirt/debris indoors. We did this at my old neighbours hunting camp and everyone who saw it raved how practical it was. Really enjoying the vids and keep up the great content. P.S…….mistakes are a great thing, that’s how we all learn.

Brace on the door should go from the hinge side bottom up and be on the inside.

[@TazManiacAaron]

Spin the door and have the bracing on the inside whilst you're at it, James. It will look much better.

That’s what I was thinking but couldn’t think of the term for bracing.

Oh James, I loved the crab walk test! I laughed heaps. Such progress. Thanks for taking us along. Great to see your sister visiting.

[@Lammedreng]

James, the cross brace on your new door should be turned the other way so that the brace is under compression and the load is transferred towards the bottom hinge

[@thomasandrews5327]

And on the brace should be inside, door can be taken apart from the outside the way he has it

[@mattirondog549]

Seems like the simple solution is to flip the door

[@deweyw3737]

@@mattirondog549simplest solution is to just re-brace the door on the inside , leaving outside brace as well. Makes it a stronger door. Then he could fill in the front and make it look more like a ornamental “x” shape which is really the style he should go with anyway on from and back

Hey James. Fellow Ontarian here. Just a comment here. I own and live in a cabin, not log, with an uninsulated crawl space. I was given advice many years ago to do my floor insulation the way you have. Fast forward to renovation and as I pull up my subfloor I find all my joists soaking wet. The poly was doing its job blocking moisture but when it had no where to go it just dripped down over the joists. Ended up have to replace a few because of this.

[@kellywest9134]

Hey James, awesome video! Please don't be hard on yourself. Mistakes are how we learn. There was a point in this video when you were standing in your doorway just after the rain with coffee. I thought, look at what you've made!! You must be so proud of your accomplishments. Great job! Thanks for sharing with us.

You can always add a decorative header to the doorway, maybe with viking runes carved in it to bless the cabin and stained darker then the cabin, to keep the door short.

Hi mate I think the door should have the z on the inside because if it's on the out side you can kick the boards in to the cabin just a thought

With the hinges facing out you can tap out the hinge pins and the door will fall off. That or you have a drill and access the screw heads and dismantle the door from the outside.

The Door Z seems to be backwards, the diagonal beams top should point away from the hinges to provide better support

[@wenzel7401]

Should the cross bracing of the door go on the inside. If someone wants to get into your cabin all they need is a screwdriver because all the screws are on the outside.

I second an earlier comment, James. You are cutting up all this wood. Instead of just making huge piles of it every where. Stack it just off the path. 5 foot or so in case of clearing the path later in the year. Even if it is rotten. U can use it in bonfires and various projects.

You need to somehow get loud noise makers. They do make flash bangs for civilians. This way when you are working, you have a way to make loud, uncomfortable noises for the large animals. It’s just an extra level of protection for when you are working. ❤❤

Noticed you have a bit of shoulders back swagger when you’re toting that shotgun, big boy. For wilderness protection personally I’d carry a holstered Casul 454 in Taurus, Colt or Ruger frame. It’s deployable for both bear and human threats and can be worn while working. Cool runnin’, mon.

[@johne.hilbert2046]

Popping stumps out pro-tip. Leave about 5-6 feet above ground when you drop a tree. Use that stump as leverage, it'll rip the stump right out of the ground. Then lop off the wood, for firewood later.
