Off Grid Log Cabin: Recycled Pallet Wood Project - Roof Extension & Sink
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- The Log Cabin Build continues. We use Recycled Pallet Wood to build a wood roof at the back of the off grid cabin in the wilderness. Being able to use recycled materials to make simple and cheap diy projects is a useful skill to have and it helps to save money. So far the Log Cabin itself was free to build. It is heated with the woodstove, which is great for the cold winter months where temperatures drop below freezing.
Although the Cabin looks might look like a shack on the outside, we've turned this primitive hut into a cosy tiny house on in the inside. With a rustic wood chair, folding table, raised bed as well as a woodstove and a book case. It also has candles, lanterns and other items that make it a one-man rustic cabin.
The day started out with me alone in the woods. I got the woodstove going and made a cup of fresh coffee to start the day. Dad then joined me and together we began building work on the wilderness homestead. We opened some more subscriber gifts and answered some of the questions that you guys have been asking us in previous pallet wood cabin episodes. I hope to spend more time at the cabin to practice primitive technology, wilderness and survival skills and learn more about living off the land and foraging for wild food.

Best vids I've ever watched. Best u and your dad. All the way from Las Vegas.
you should tighten the screws in the corner brackets evenly, as in screw all of them in half way then do the rest. It can bend the brackets or even the screw and sometimes strip them
TA Outdoors you dad is funny as f lol 😂
TA Outdoors Friday evenings, kids in bed, time to chill watching your latest video. Nice 👍🏻
Thank you
Love your dad's humour You're lucky to be so close to him good video.
You guys are great I hope this inspires young kids to get out and spend time with their fathers
I've been watching this series and it's been enjoyable. When I was a little girl, he built me a log cabin play house and he took me with him to get the wood, he let me hold the boards still while he cut them and he taught me how to pound nails. I know it's been a couple years since you did this, but the memories you're making with your dad will be special for a life time. I'm 54 now, but I still remember that time with my dad like it was yesterday. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I can't believe it but I've just spent the whole of Saturday evening watching you and your dad turn your idea of a one-man cabin into reality!! Altogether it was a lovely constructive way to spend time with your dad, who I think is a lovely man. I remembered, as a child, having to help my father extend our tiny kitchen and we had to recycle the bent nails, corrugated iron panels and wooden beams, just like how your dad did! I have always enjoyed bushcraft and survival programmes but your videos have taken it to a different direction. And that stove is a work of art! But best of all is the antique coffee grinder. What a lovely present from your mum 🤗
Thank you so much for posting your hard work.
Words fail me when trying to describe how much I've enjoyed your project. Thank you both.
Bruce Morton thanks Bruce
Hard to describe what I'm trying to say so bear with me.
I was born in Australia and have lived here all my life. Our winters are about 10 degrees (Celcius) and our summers are about 46 degrees (again, Celcius). I apparently saw snow once as a baby (and don't remember it) and we have no forests here (just dry, scraggly bush).
I read a LOT and the stories were usually set in snowy, quiet, isolated forests. There was a sort of sense of, it was an old world. You lived a simple life, close to the ground. Hard but on your own terms. I guess you could say there was something.....mystical, the feeling I'd get reading these books.
You might not think the English forest is particularly magical and you might think a pallet wood cabin is nothing to write home about. But I don't know. Watching this series gives me the same sort of feeling those old novels did.
Now excuse me while I melt into the footpath.
Love the relationship you have with your father. Enjoy these moments. Miss my dad .
Time with dad. Priceless. The last time I saw my father alive was in the woods. He had advanced dementia, but when we went into the mountains of Colorado for a day he was transformed. Lucidity returned and we could converse about old times. Sadly, or mercifully, he died of a heart attack a week after our last outing. Those are memories that bring a lot of comfort. BTW. Your dad is a pisser:). You're lucky to have him. Peace.
Im shocked how you guys dont have millions of subs yet, your cinematography and videos are amazing plus the both of you are a ton of fun to watch and have a laugh with. Keep up the great work over across the pond!
Love your dad, he is brill
Mike your dad is the best lol. My dad passed in 2001 so it's nice to be reminded of his humor and the fun we had doing projects as father and son. Thank you brother. Your dad is definitely making me smile.
If anyone feels they have unanswered issues, always watch the entire video. I saw new things in the beginning of this video but was all made clear by the end. I have said this before....things are so similar in the U.K. as here in the US and other places. Appreciate your Dad or Son, love, spend as much time as you can with them! You two are quite a couple of jokers! The humor and being able to work together is priceless! We love you guys. And now onward to the outhouse and a shed...what's a man without a shed! Thankz
Essentially, this series is real life Minecraft. Absolutely love it.
Glad you enjoy it
Hahaha you got to love the old man a! what a star! :)
What a treat to see dad and son doing so well together never lose that .I had 1 good day with my dad . Love that cabin .
It's great the relationship you have with your dad make the most of it mate its times you will look back on and smile
I tell you what Mike, youre old man is a legend. Extreme woodland shaving. He's just simply awesome. never laughed So much at one of your videos. Love u both
Great episode it might be useful to build a rain water collector if your planning on using the sink more or you will be lugging around lots of water all the time
Hey, as I was watching this particular clip I could not help and think that these little moments with family/loved ones is what matters. Not everyone has the privilage to have their father close and like I said; these little moments are priceless! Thank you guys and always enjoy..
its great to have a dad with you, to share these great bonding moments in life! I grew up with out a dad! when you have your little ones, do the same!
You guys could make a gutter system that feeds into a barrel that then feeds into the sink so you can have running water
I so love that series, such beautiful father/son moments, you have a great dad, enjoy every moments with him my friend!
Thank you
I have to say, I snickered and rolled my eyes when I first started watching your first episode about a pallet log cabin. I have to admit, I really enjoyed watching you build and the time spent with your father. I also have to say the little cabin is awesome. Looking forward to more. Thanks, keep them coming. I don't have access to land but I think my grandson and I will try and build one in are back yard.
Mike, I am 65 and handicapped. My days of walking in the woods are long past me now. I love watching your videos. It gives me a chance to escape into the trees for awhile if only in my mind. Keep them coming. Tony Yardley, Alabama, USA.
Absolutely love this. I hope my dad and I can start a project like this someday. Very inspiring.
Thanks for the great video series. Back in the ‘70s my dad and I built a “fort” out of recycled wood. It was great spending time with him and these videos brought back some great memories. Dad pasted away 6 years ago. When my son was around 10 we built his own Fort in the woods. Again thank y’all. Grady from Texas.
Your dad is a legend, nice work on the cabin I wish I had that bond with my dad
You can put up a water barrel to collect rain water.
Here is a 'poser' for your Dad. When we both were growing up there was a Polish song in English about a missing sausage. I have changed the lyrics.
"Who carved my Kuksa, who carved my Kuksa? Who carved my Kuksa: who made it look like that?
Metal cups just burn my lips; the Kuksa's kind to finger tips.
For coffee cup it does quite nice; for soups and stews--worth any price.
Should you have a taste for 'treen' the Kuksa suits just like a dream...(well, you get the tune by now.)
You have a great relationship with your dad. I enjoy watching your videos. Can't wait until the next one.
You're Dad is a character, really enjoyed his humor. What a fine ground with that beautiful coffee grinder.
Always a pleasure. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
Your father is so cool, and you too of course
LOL he's brought everything AND the kitchen sink! Enjoy these moments with your dad, my man. I'd give anything to be able to go out and spend a day or so in the woods with mine again. He'd be all over a project like this too. Love what you're doing to the place guys. Greetings from Kentucky!
There is always going to be negative people who have to judge rather than enjoy the video. You guys are doing wonderful and i hope you're enjoying your time together.
Inspirational i wanna go out and built as well now
Your dads a legend yous two together are funny asf
When I was growing up as a child, there weren't cell phones or computers. There were barely any electric typewriters. We spent most of our days outside too. I built myself a tree house with my Dad's help. It was fantastic. Great video guys. Take care.
I have absolutely enjoyed this series. So great to see a father and son out enjoying time together. Great job.
To be honest you should build another cabin for either yourself or your father so you guys can have a little camp. :)
Hi Guys,
I would love to see Graeme make a Fishing Rod out of Wood and bits and pieces. That would be Awesome.
Steve in Fife.
Your Dad is a character! Reminds me a lot of my old man, good sense of humor. Glad to see you guys spend time together. My Pops and I do a lot of projects together and fishing down in Florida. You've inspired me, think I will start filming with him next summer!
The cabin gets better every week. And I love the coffee service! Thanks guys.
I love this series
You guys need your own TV show on Dave or something, you two are an absolute joy to watch. Are you going to the maker fair in Birmingham NEC in may ?
We don't need TV when we got CZcams! Unfortunately I haven't heard of that fair...
I Love that this is a Father Son project just to spend time together..miss my dad..
I think you and your dad did an amazing job on your 1 man cabin, looks like you both had a blast building it. Thanks for including us all. Keep up the good work!
Your Old Man is a cool dude.......great job guys.
YES ANOTHER ONE
You're very lucky to be able to spend the time with your dad. Cherish every day with him. I lost mine 35 years ago and think of him every day. Love your site, I'm a new sub.
Guys I love the whole basis that this is a Father Son project..that gets a thumbs up any day from me!!! What memories!!
Make lil green house to grow veggies and "stuff "for your camp
Amazing what u and your dad have done love the videos down here in New Zealand
Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant video guys. Brought back memories of my late father building his allotment shed in the back yard of our terraced house in eight elements; then getting the coalman to deliver it to his plot with him. I was only seven or eight then but from what I can remember it went up perfectly. He had an old meths stove in there. It was fantastic, as was your video! Thank you.
It's lovely to see a Father and Son relationship building Physicaly, mentaly and spiritualy, capturing the past and future together. Brilliant!!!!!! Great Video's, Love it!
Started watching this channel with the beginning of this series. Absolutely love it! Just now realized I hadn't subscribed. Just did. Thank you for great videos. Will check out your dad's channel for sure. Love the dynamic between you and your dad. Keep up the great work.
TheLumpRulz thank you for subscribing
How many people can say I built a den with my Dad haha What wonderful fun
I realize I'm 2 years late but I also love how these videos make me feel like I'm there with you guys, outdoors. I don't get outside much, because of health reasons (my legs don't work very well anymore) as well as living in a large-ish city and not owning a car, so it's really nice of you both to sort of invite us into your sort of club house :)
how blessed you was, having a wonderfull father like him!
if the structure is strong enough you could rig up a temporary hammock on the table side of the cabin for guests
You don't ever stop making great videos do you
No questions! Just a thank you for sharing. An inspiration and “an excuse” to spent time with my three boys. And to let them see what can be done with materials that would otherwise be trash. What you have is a masterpiece of the mind body and soul. Thank you from across the pond in the US.
HA! I remember that Badger skull! Nice jar lights as well. Having fun watching you and your Dad build your cabin.
How bout adding a second cabin to the back so dad can do overnighters with you or twin cabins side by side.
Awesome job guys! Love the cabin! Keep up the good work! Great channel and videos! Thanks.
i say its perfect " your dads really chipper your lucky to have such a awsome dad !!! great stuff
The handmade coffee mugs are lovely. They are so large it seems that you might be able use them as a bowl for soup as well.
Love you guys, I live in America. But, my mom and dad’s family were all from England. I loved your comment in a previous video about great English food. My momma made the best Yorkshire pudding! 😊 I love Yorkshire pudding.
Y’all are such a beautiful inspiration for fathers and sons. I can’t wait to watch all your videos. Blessings to you both from across the pond!
In my top ten list. Loved the video. Granny fan
Awesome!
Walkin the wife 😂😭
I love the feeling of a couple of mates making a den in the woods- such fun!
Dang bro. I am really jealous watching you hang out and work along side your dad. You are a very fortunate person to be able to share your life and experiences with your dad. I used to fish and work and just have a great time with my dad when I was young. Unfortunately I didn't really know or understand what I had at that young age. My dad passed from stomach cancer about six months before my daughter was born. I was 26 years old and didn't really grasp the concept of what life was gonna be like withput my pops.
Keep doing what your doing and stay as close to your parents as you possibly can. Your dad seems like a really cool guy and both of you seem like you really enjoy hanging out with each other.
Thanks for the info and video and God Bless ya bro.
Nice video!
Who needs a measuring tape when you have a measuring stick!! :D XD
I love all the videos I've seen thus far! You both make what you do look so easy. I do voluntary conservation work at a local wood every 2nd Sunday, and I love it! And then I saw one of you're videos two ish weeks ago and its really made me want to do some overnight bushcraft stuff, and I'm 48 this year! So a big thank you, and I love you guys! I wish I had the relationship you and you're awesome Dad have - it makes me happy you have a good relationship together. :)
Thank you, Mike and Graeme, for another great video in the Off Grid Log Cabin Build series. The cabin is looking very homely and comfortable AND practical. The outside sink area is brilliant! Your ingenuity is inspiring! P.S. Mike, as much as we have all come to luv you over the past few years, your Dad is a show-stealer. :) Thank you both for all your hard work in bringing this no-cost log cabin build series to life.
Have either of you watched another cabin build by a man called Shawn , he lives in Canada and his profile is called Self reliance. take a look .
rubberdc they comment on each other videos, so I guess they are buddy's. Have to say, Joe Robinet, TA outdoors/TA Fishing and My self reliance are by far my favourite channels 😊
I look forward to Friday ..for both channels..Shawn is up next
Hello from Ireland! Very cool channel 😊👍🍀
I have seen many car ports here in the US where the tin roofing goes the same way and handles wind rain and lots of snow on them. As long as it's properly supported it'll be fine. Thank you for all the videos I was originally looking for ideas on building shelters and or survival forts that I could teach my son to make in the woods when I came across your Channel. And now I hope to one day be able to own enough property or I can do a little project like this with him when he's older. Thank you for the great ideas, and I can't wait for the next video.
Thanks for sharing, glad you got to spend the time together.
Oh god, I need a beer.
BEAH! It's food.
One can alway sleep on the floor if you both want to sleep over. How fun.
Love the series. I am inspired to keep my dream of building my own house one day and live in the outdoor. Also love your Britishness. Spent 13 Years in London and you two remind me of what I love best about the British people. Keep the series alive. Loving it! What could be good but challenging on a budget: 1) Solar or wind power. 2) rain water system to have fresh water on site.
Hi there Cathy from Ontario Canada...Ive been watching since day one of your project...what I love the most, is the closeness of you and yr Dad. You guys really do have it all and ya's have captivated a and inspired many in sure...& personality ++++ both of you!!! Cheers!
I like it 👍🏻
have you guys thought about building a smoke house and doing some smoked fish on site?
Nice video as always, thinking about what your dad said l am about his age and remember no handys, no car, and we all sat in the dining room with the wood fire on listening to radio mum was knitting and dad was making little things for us to play with, no tv and all day outside in the forest or riding our put together from bits bikes l am so proud and happy to have lived through these times. Regards Barrie Watson
I love your cabin series, and I really love to see you and your father have such a good time together.
This will entertain me for a while
dan osullivan entertain sorry it was bugging me
Jack MacDonald I didn't even see I spelt it wrong
Thank you guys for your time and for sharing .... Awesome show guys !!!
PS - Im doing an cabin too using scrap saw mill wood .. and spraying it down with old oil/diesel mix to help preserve .
Love it guys / Live Action from North Carolina USA
I bet it stinks from oil.
Katherine McChesney lol hahaha Don’t spray the inside... and don’t go too crazy spraying the outside .. this helps with the bugs and it looks like a stained deck . Live Action
It would still stink. In fact it would be a stench.
I'm completely enjoying this process. Who wouldn't want to make a "clubhouse" in the woods? I know I have since I was a small child. The challenge of making it at little cost, forces your creative juices to keep flowing! Thank you for sharing!
Father and son!!! God bless you guys~ I could not find this intimacy between father and son.
Awesome Video. Thanks for sharing
Every they they make is crude but it works.
That is so awesome. You can practically live there all year long. I love it. Your dad is awesome.
Your father is such a funny guy. I enjoy him in the videos, you guys have such a close bond it seems, keep the amazing videos up. I enjoy every single one of them.
Hmm, all them candles and cones, I thought it was cabin on broke back mountain :D What's next millions of pillows on the bed? :P
Nice one, maybe you can make a composting dunny next to the sink (with curtain for the shy types) as a future project. Pallet wood box + bucket topped of with and old toilet seat & lid so you don't get splinters!
stewartrv
YOU WATCHED IT....
Those are really nice additions to the pallet cabin. It's really pimped out now. What sort of provision will you make for Jaxx to stay with you? I miss seeing him.
Jaxx is coming soon !
Pimped? You must be from Chicago.
Love your father and son vids. It makes me wish my father was alive and I could spend time with him. Cherish these times ! Thumbs up. ENJOY... THE SIMPLE LIFE
Really delightful watch! Thanks so much for sharing your time together! Cheers!
