Building a tiny cabin in the woods, with a custom wood stove. This was the first time I've ever attempted anything like this.

I have to say this is one of few Cabin builds I've enjoyed watching. When I built mine back in 1986 I put those Hinges on the Inside making it harder for someone to enter and finally used a Galvanized Lock system against thieves. I use to leave the door unlocked but I had a theft problem. The thief was eventually arrested when Deer Camera's became available in 1999. Try a Peppermint Mixture sprayed on the outside of the door and inside to keep bugs at bay. 1 quart distilled water, one cup Vodka and 30 drops of Peppermint Oil. Mix well and then use a cheap Spray bottle to spray.

love the idea that you left a note for however finds your shelter. Never know if it could save someone like in a jam. I make hunting stacks about the same way. I don't even lock them and leave a ledger in them. I'm always surprised when I go to one and find a new log in one for someone that took refuge in it. in this day and age they even leave a email address. it warms my heart when someone leaves a message that they stayed in one on a bad day just to make it throw the day. made many new friends this way. They've even shared their harvest with me because they hug out for a few hours in one of my natural blinds. Heck I've even recruited some of them to help make new ones

My brother had a Parsons Russell, he would stick around us when we went into the woods, always believed him to be a "people dog." He didn't like the noise of power tools, but would stay around instead of going exploring on his own. Miss you pal. Like that you used a battery operated saw & drill, the lack of an internal combustion engine really made the video easier to watch. After you get the roof weatherproofed, consider putting some extensions on the bed frame for an outdoor bench or cabinet, or firewood lean to.

Well, we're human, so we need mental stimulation and challenges. Of course, for some, that means they need nothing more than what was available 150 years ago, and are happy with no books, and no contact with the "outside world." But I confess, I would become a weird person and slightly unbalanced if I were that cut off from information and other people. I don't have to have a TV or radio... but look at us: communicating with each other, and gathering information via technology. Our lives would be quite barren without it. I've lived for 5 months in a cabin without electricity or plumbing, and was very happy. I'd do it again in a flash. But I still had my guitar, books, my vehicle, and my sister next door... and my cell phone.

Just out of interest, when I finally get a little bit of time, I’ll take your suggestion to go look that up.

so on the roof to help waterproofing, make a mixture of the dirt (make mud) and mix in any loose gravel you can find and since you have lichens, mix those in as well. Make it about 6" thick and cover with a thin coating of the downed branches. The mud/gravel acts like a cement, the lichens grow and stabilize, the smaller branches reduce erosion. Nice job on the cabin.

If you run it up to the ceiling and across to the other side it will put out much more heat!

I liked the suggestions of running the pipe across the room. But keep it low to the floor to maximize the heat exchange since heat rises, and then run the vertical pipe up and along the inner wall and have it exit prior to the ceiling/roof - on the side wall to a standard vertical pipe with a vented cover to keep the rain and snow out, plus birds and insects. My Wife had a 10' W x 12' L x 14' H Barn style shed by Tuff Shed built for me to work on my projects and "writings" and I needed to design a heating unit to keep it warm during the winter and have utilized both the propane tank in 5 and 10 gal. as well as a 30 gal "oil' drum as the burners/stoves with great success for each one since the total area is only about 1,600 cubic feet since it has a Gambrel style roof. I use 12" x 24" cast paver with aluminum foil between the floor and the walls to keep the heat transference to a minimum and also on the outside surface of the pavers to reflect the heat into 6he interior of the shop. Finally, I just found a discarded bbq/smoker and intend to tie it in to the heating system I now have since I can use it to cook with too. Hope this helps someone with a solution for a heating unit for their shop or maybe even thier home in an emergency and the videos are here on You-Tube if you need them.

Cool project! I love this type of construction. A tip for next time, make all notches downward facing. Upward facing notches catch the rain, like pouring into a bowl, promoting rot and shortening the life of the joint. Downward facing notches are like turning the bowl upside down, allowing the rain to shed and run off the curved surface.

This is one of the best cabin builds I have seen. Good use of power tools, ingenious door, and one of the few guys to pack rocks around the stove to soak up the heat then radiate out all night. I wonder if you mixed your wood ash with sandy or clay dirt and water into a paste you might get a cement like substance that when you pack it into the moss between the logs above your bed it could help with the waterproofing (on the outside)

I was thinking the same thing; but after laying your clay for example, take the vent off the wood stove, plug the vent, start the fire and smoke/heat up the inside really hot. Should take care of critters that live in the thatch, which is what middle ages people did periodically on their thatch roofs and set the clay hard.

You will come to regret not peeling the logs. The bugs under the bark will actually make noise during the night and it can keep you awake. I have built several cabins out on my property and my first one I did not peel the logs and I could hear the bugs too. I would suggest next time try to make a bed of small gravel under the bottom logs which will help defuse water down through the base and help keep the logs from rotting. As for shingles try buying a Froe for making shingles. Its cheap and will pay for it's self.

The editing on this is excellent- it shows just enough to give an idea how to do it, without getting too long, and adds a few cute scenes with the dog. Really well-paced and put together.

I'm starting on a small cabin soon. I was thinking to make the roof much wider and longer than needed for a roof but the wider and longer it is will better help the bottom logs stay dry. Ill probably use smooth creek rocks for the actual foundation so that any water that does make its way to the bottom can drain faster than it does in dirt. If I come up with a waterproof roof I'll pass it along. Thanks for sharing. I like it. Good job 👍✌
