- I put some finishing touches on the simple off grid log cabin build. It is sealed and ready for winter but there is plenty of interior work to do on the cabin.

I found the chapters in czcams.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU to be very relevant to my project as I embarked on building my first ever structure from the ground up. I especially found this Ryan’s Shed Plans to be of great use when it came to building the roof. I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.
I read the entire Ryan’s czcams.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.
Just think in 50 years your grand kids will be hearing stories about how paw paw Kyle build all the family cabins by hand. 🥰
His new grandchild has just been born, he comes to the hospital to meet them.
As he hold the infant in his arms, he says to them:
"You'll have the cabin down the bottom by the river when you're old enough"
That’s pretty awesome most people your age are sitting on their ass playing video games you’re actually living life. Great build on the log cabin can’t wait to see it this winter.
It speaks loudly don’t it? His parents did a great job on this young man. Definitely somebody special in his life growing up.
Suppose it helps living where they do
You know, I understand your point. But I'm here, in college (I don't want to be anymore) and broke. I don't have money to buy land nor do I have the knowledge of off grid lifestyle. It'd be fun sure, however you can't put all the blame on us "kids" (I'm 23) if I had been told early on to get a job and save money then perhaps I'd be doing the same thing Kyle is doing. But I'm here stuck with debt and struggling to pay bills on time. Don't say people are just "lazy" money is a huge factor in all of this, sure he spend a few hundred, but he had to buy land and some building materials and tools. I understand it seems easy, but.. money guys, money is a thing you NEED in this day and age.
Trust me, I'd rather be doing what he's doing. But considering my family is very judgmental and strict, not sure how to break it to them that i hate what I'm doing with my life. 🤷🏾♀️
@@TsunamiKitten56 it’s your life TK but you have an opportunity others don’t so please take advantage of it while it’s here. Don’t lose focus you’re the future.
@@TsunamiKitten56 do you live in a country that charges property tax? If so here is how to buy land cheap
1. Find where you can call home
2. Contact property tax accessor and ask for tax seized property list
3. Go look and walk property never buy sight unseen
4. If it’s been on market a while make a offer if they want more they will tell you but usually they just want it sold
5. Best land is rual raw land ( no electric or water available… you can go to a plumbing supply co and get a DIY well kit and dig your own
Where I got my property I was lucky as power line and waterline was available 1800.00 for power line hook up and 500.00 water meter hook up and I have no building codes so no permits. I paid 500.00 for my half acre if I can do it so can you…-my kids took my steps and did same they work at Pizza Hut making 11.00 hr each if they can do it so can you now you can’t say no one told you how
Love how grounded you are. No hype/arrogance or click baiting on your channel. Wish there were more CZcams channels like yours.
You life life on YOUR TERMS. Good on you. BTW Cabin is coming along Awesome 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
I really like the stones on the bottom! Looking great!
I love the stone also…Kyle is just awesome with all his know how
Dick Proenneke's door hinges were pure genius!I'm amazed at how fast you built that cabin!
Boom. I just cracked a cold one. wha'cha doing Kyle...woot.
Another great accomplishment by Kyle. I get a kick how comfortable your chickens are around you while you are working. I enjoy watching your older videos too.
ya gotta love them chickens. they seem so laid back. 👍
Looks great! It is nice to see a young person with your energy and work ethic. I was that way 50 years ago. I’m in my 70’s now and my brain still gets me in situations that my body doesn’t agree with. 😊
A trappers cabin was called a "tilt" by old timers in Labrador. Their door and walls were low for easy heating. The wood stove was very crude build and tend to smoked a lot hence the old "smokes like a tilt" saying on bad stoves. Great build and thanks for sharing, enjoyed!
Thanks for sharing! I did not know that.
They also called them "tilts", because eventually they did..
@@KYLESCABIN how long does the moss last with the chinking?
Living in state (CO) where homes prices keep going up by the day, $125 is so appealing. 😁 I enjoying watching your self-reliance and craftsmanship. So looking forward to your winter videos!
Great job Kyle, so nice to see a young man working off the land with amazing skills! Love your videos
Nice job on the cabin, Kyle!! Your Dad should be commended for teaching you the skills to build a cabin! You must have paid attention! You are so talented for being so young. Ceara hit the jackpot hooking up with you, I hope she appreciates you!
Best videos around. I’m glad a young guy is still living life the real way.
Looks really Great Kyle, can't wait to see that stove go in. That's what I call a frugal build.👍👍💚
I like the chickens, they remind me of supervizers and building inspectors, always watching what you're doing. lol
I’m from West Virginia and I have plenty of trees to build this, thanks so much bro.
SHALOM....
SO GREAT TO SEE Y'ALL'S CHANNEL TODAY FROM BLOODY HARLAN KY.
BLESS U AND FAMILY.
THIS IS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINMENTING SHOW ON CZcams.
🛡🇺🇸🌟📜🌟🇺🇸🛡
Love the rock under the cabin ! Gives it a great look !!!
As a long time subscriber I wanted to compliment you on how your videos continue get better and better . Great build .
Great job Kyle, the chinking and stones really give the cabin a finished look. I'm envious of your drive and energy. I truly enjoy your videos, you do fine work.
I'm very surprised chinking hasn't been cancelled yet. If someone on the left See's that word being used ....watch out cause the R word is coming
I personally would like to see a gravel floor that definitely sounds interesting and would be functional for a workshop or guest lodge
The rock foundation looks amazing and the moss chincking is genius, and cost effective. Look forward to the wood stove install. If others wanted to leave the tarp roof they could always purchase a thicker tarp or canvas tarp but not cost effective
Great video Kyle
Never knew all the different ways to build cabins
Thank you for sharing all the construction of your new cabin
Love Skeeter and chickens with you during build
Take care and see you soon in next video
Great job Kyle!
Simple, solid and useful with style
The rock touch was perfect
I use white sheets on the inside of my tent (pin them up and change them out yearly) extra layer for keeping heat in and saves on the canvas. No shadows either. Around the stove I pinned up a welding sheet.
Looking forward to your next build, watch your top knot
If it were me I’d probably put something down on the dirt floor first - maybe a blue tarp or maybe a layer or two of Tyvek wall wrap. Use landscaping spikes to hold it down at the edges and to keep it from shifting around with regular foot traffic. This would keep things cleaner inside instead of walking around on dirt all the time. It would also act as somewhat of a vapor barrier, which would likely make the interior of the cabin more pleasant during certain periods of the year. This could be done for minimal cost, would provide a good base for spruce boughs if you wanted to use them, and would also make it easy to sweep up inside when you needed to periodically change out the boughs.
We did a small diameter pole floor in a barn when I was a kid. Used logs for joists laid on flat rocks then went after it with a foot adze and leveled it. We used clay mixed with sawdust to fill in where the poles didn’t meet. It supported horses with joists on 3’ or so centers and 4-6” diameter poles.
Looks incredible bro! If I bought an acre of land (~$3000) and built one of these id be able to save money to help other people build these! Thanks for sharing!
We found and reclaimed trailerhome rubber roofing. A place back home that reroofs trailers had piles of them. We used them for covering our woodpiles. Heavy guaged stuff. Double wides were 24' x 40' and they had sections they cut down to whatever size you wanted as one piece.
Excellent idea !
You're knowledge and your time priceless $125.
That's amazing you did an outstanding job and proud of you.🎉🎉🎉😊
You're demeanor and skills are off the charts. You seem to be a great individual.
I’m amazed, though I probably shouldn’t be because you have a real gift for this type of project. Well done Kyle.
Best log cabin building info on the Web.
Looks excellent definitely way cool with the stones👍✌
0:12 you could sell each and any one of those boulders in Western-Europe for more than you probably end up spending on the cabin. Crazy world. Love the vids!
It looks terrific.
Absolutely love your videos
I have built 2 from scratch log cabins. Very impressed with your awesome videos and clear explanations. Thank you for sharing! BIG FAN!
Amazing work !

Great job, Kyle!! Looks really good!
Awesome Work!!
Awesome this project is coming together great
I was in Alta and Hammerfest Northern Norway last winter. While there i stayed in some Sami Camps and they had Spruce bough floors. Awesome, really warm, despite being 110's miles about the Artic Circle and a great smell too lol. Added bonus that when they got old, they just swoped it out. Really, really enjoyed this build from start to finish. Subscribing was a very easy decision. Greetings from the UK.
I love how you built I'd like to do this with my grandsons me myself I could live in it. Great job buddy
Love the house guests, looks great. Yes rocks are cute.
I absolutely love your videos! So down to earth! ❤️❤️
Great job . Done so quickly.
Awesome work; I enjoyed this series and look forward to seeing the cabin in use.
way kool, Kyle. nice cabin! you did good.
Wow great work and resourcefulness.
Simple is usually best. The build is coming along nicely, even at $125. Livable, absolutely, it offers even now what everyone needs, shelter. Great job! Can't wait for more!
Was just thinking about this. I'm looking to start a foundation to get people housing and I think this is a great start.
Love that build thanks for showing me how to do a BUTT and Pass system!
Great...I wish I could have seen it built taller! a higher roof and a great pellet stove! way to go!
Such a cool series! Inspired me a lot! Can't wait to see the woodstove installment.
