Off Grid Cabin In The Woods....Start to finish

In this video I build a small off grid cabin in the remote woods of the upper Midwest. If you've ever wanted o build a cabin in the woods...this is one way to do it.

Answer me this,

I am all for preppers but ... imagine everybody bugs out in the woods:

soon no wood to build or heat with, no animals left to kill ... preppers eating each other.

Are you ready for that?

I built a Cabin in 2020 - Start to Finish

2020 was a strange year. I built a cabin through it which helped me through it. I had no experience prior to this, I made some small mistakes, some big mistakes, and somehow got through it all in one piece.

Depends on where you live. We're at the edge of the largest forest in the state and have hundreds of trees just on our property along. Wood is not a problem. We don't kill animals for food but the chickens do provide eggs. Tower Garden is a way to have fresh food all year. The cabin is next to a year round creek. No problem with water. So as with any cabin... location, location, location is a key to self sustainability.

How to install a well with a sledge hammer

Watch me install a hand pump water well using just a sledge hammer at my new off grid cabin! I've never had an easier time putting in a well- thanks to the sandy soil and location near a river. Now I'll have FRESH, CLEAN WATER any time I want it.... I'm feeling so blessed!

Off-grid Shower Install

There's nothing better than getting cleaned up after a hard day's work outside on your off-grid property. An outdoor shower is a thing of beauty, and when you step out all clean and fresh it's like a natural boost of energy all over again! This shower is easily powered with a small battery and a transfer pump to make the water flow. I also intend to recharge my battery using a solar panel. Stay tuned!

Collecting Rain Water at an off grid cabin

In this video I collect a 55 gallon drum of fresh rain water at my cabin in interior Alaska during a hard rain storm.

Living off grid is so much easier with your own water source. Weather you're homesteading, or living in a tiny house, or just at the family cabin, a simple rain water collection system is easy to build and will fill many of your water needs.

#520 - Installed Wood Stove And Chimney In Tiny Cabin (Through The Wall)


OP note: we installed our stove pipe through the ceiling because the inside height was 17 feet and the loft. The wall installation is much easier.

Nice op. Building similar in the future now land is prepped. I recently toured my relatives cabin being built and I liked the Viking idea of escape room with tunnel they had that goes out underground and up into the woods for any emergency.

Cleaning more gets difficult on your own.
