Can we just take a second to enjoy the time he spent setting up the camera angles? It would’ve taken him probably half the time to finish this project, but instead he chose to make some nice, satisfying content for us. What a guy.

Not only is this cabin build entertaining to watch, the video is also relaxing because the guitar music in the background doesn't interfere with the narration- it supports it without being too loud or annoying. Bravo! If Bob Ross built cabins...

So many "Build a cabin in the wild" videos just have music...Thanks so much for voicing this video. appreciate you telling us the stuff we might not know. 1 thumbs up

I’m glad this guy got 24 million views because he definitely deserves it , how long and hard it takes to build a house like that let alone record tons of 5-10 second clips of building and cutting , huge props to this man

The amount of work that went into filming this build can't be understated. Great job my man. On both the filming and the construction.

At 75yo, this I enjoyed immensely… with nearly 20% energy left, I was able to see it all yet again …. You made my 45 minutes of dreaming come true … thank you!

As a man who has been building structures and doing side projects my entire life, I truly can say. You sir are one hell of an American and a master craftsman. You made so many things in this project look easy, especially for those of use that know better, and can truly appreciate your work. Thank you, sir. You did one hell of a job and documented it all for us to appreciate. I applaud your efforts my man. Well done!

I finally got to watch your wife’s video where I believe you are starting construction on this build! I’m glad I found it. I thought it was so sad that you were building out there alone. To see her being there with you and the pups, but doing her own thing. Made me happy! I am new to your channel and I can’t get enough of the things you both do and how satisfied and happy you both seem!

Here I am at 83 years of age, and you have fired me up to give it a try. I hope my health stays good enough to do so! Of all the videos I have seen on You Tube for this sort of work, in my opinion there is none to compared to yours. I am happy to have found your channel. Thanks so much.

Bob ross of house building! the 3 part series on simple cabin everyone can build is outstanding.

You and your wife make me believe I can do anything. Thank you for leading by example.

Dude I loved watching you. My father-in law talked me into building a 1500 sq ft ranch in 1985. He taught me all I needed to know. I went on to build a 3 stall garage with a beautiful wood shop. I still love the work but at 68 I can't work those 12 to 13 hour days anymore. Your talents will provide you with a very rewarding life. Don't forget. Jesus was a carpenter!!!

My grandfather was a carpenter when he passed on he left me his tools. It’s like you can feel the energy from them. There like a faithfull friend😊

This was absolutely awesome... Watching from beginning to end was really enjoyable... It took me back to my days when I used to Frame Home's for a living.. That was back in 1984 to 1991 when everything was stick built.. None of that way over priced Pre-Fab junk that comes on a truck and goes together like a model car kit.. 🤣 And they call themselves Framer's.. 😂 But you endured the weather ☁️🌡️ and got it done.. And you could see the pride on your face at the end.. And it's sure something to be proud of and feel Blessed to be able to have it in such a beautiful spot .. To be able to wake up and step out on your porch.. Look around at the beauty of the land , take a deep breath of fresh air... And say to yourself:: Man , God is so GOOD 👍 I pray that you are able to enjoy every moment for many years to come.. 🙏 Thanks for all the work you put into making your video so we were able to enjoy your experience...

This entire video just feels of life's simplest pleasures. A man in the woods, building himself a cabin, with some narration that sounds like a string of letters sent to friends and family, and some quality. You sir, seem like a great guy to get a beer with.

oh my gosh! I loved "you can nail a lot of boards together for $600 a month!" I've been trying to explain this to my family for so long but never knew how to put it into words. I'm moving to my land in January and really have never built anything bigger than a birdhouse (in 3rd grade for 4H). Everybody keeps telling me "Why don't you just get an apartment?". So I've been deemed the crazy lady of the family. Thanks for being an inspiration!

I can honestly say, if I could start over, this is exactly where I would live my life out PERIOD!

To me, this has to be the single GREATEST VIDEO EVER ON KZfaq. A joy of a man and experience. THANK YOU SIR

I honestly never thought that watching someone build a cabin could become ASMR. But man, you’ve done it.

There's something that is just so satisfying about watching somebody build something.

This is not only an American dream. Ever since I was a child and first watched little house on the prairie and Calamity Jane I wanted to live how they did. My dream has evolved but never gone, and that is to live in a cabin in the woods. I would literally pack a bag a leave today. I watch loads of these type of videos but have enjoyed yours the most. Your very talented

I think I have watched this video about 30 times now. I am about to start building my own off grid cabin and this is the style I am going to do. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge.

Very rarely these days do I come across a KZfaq video that captivates my undivided attention for a full 40 minutes, without getting distracted or pausing whatsoever. This video was definitely one of those occasions, loved every minute of it. You’re living the dream, amazing job on the cabin and the video!

i can’t even imagine taking on this sort of building project never mind filming and documenting the entire thing with this sort of quality. i’m extremely impressed.

This has to be one of my all time favorite videos on youtube. I've been watching it regularly since it popped up and it never fails to relax me. Thank you

Your builds are so inspiring...not to mention how relaxing they are to watch! Thank you so much for sharing your slice of America and for inspiring those of us to get out there and do it for ourselves!! Stay safe and strong♡

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzfaq.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

“You can nail a lot of boards together for $600/mo” your grandpa is a wise man, keep up the good work

So, I know it may sound weird, but me and my father have been just going in the woods and making cabins for anyone to use at least a few times every year for the last 3 years. It’s hard work, but also a good bond for me and him, as well as the community. We don’t know much, but we do know one thing: this country needs more generosity!

Oh I can’t imagine how peaceful it is doing that yourself and just living! Even while working on it your cooking with a natural fire! I hope I can do this one day.

Thank you for taking the time to document and narrate your project. What an awesome video.

I have lived totally off grid since 2015. I built my own cabin in the mountains of WV. Watching your video I learned so much. I hope things are going well for you. God's Speed!

*The fact that you just woke up one morning and built this with your own hands and no help, it’s absolutely astounding!* Fascinating to watch you work! You should be very proud, it would take me 100 years to figure out something like this 😅🤔😊

I'm 78 and I am in my fifth year building my rather ambitious 20'×20' cabin with a second floor attic, no blueprints! I'm finishing the kitchen now. I had a heavy wall to lift, so I used a pulley system. The wall was fastened at one end, and a counter weight on the other end. I got to try it on one wall section, and then a friend showed up to help on the rest!

This has got to be the 5th or 6th time watching this! I watch all your cabins builds multiple times in the morning to just have a peaceful start to the day! Thank you to you and your family for sharing your life! ❤

This is the video that made me decide I wanted to learn how to build things. I am a month into a job as a framer/carpenter and I have never had more fun at work. It’s nice watching this video again and actually understanding what I’m watching

I remember watching this video on TV with my grandpa. He had been a hard working man throughout his entire life and he always loved nature. He really enjoyed watching this with me and said that he admired you a lot for building this cabin and wished that there would be more hard working men like you. Good job sir, whenever I want to remember my grandpa I come back to this video.

Your carpentry skills on this cabin project was an absolute joy to watch. Awesome job! 👏 thanks for sharing.

I watched this video from beginning to end and I actually enjoyed and was gratified to the attention to detail and the care of building this home. Thank you for this video

So I’m sitting here, doing some sewing, while also listening to videos. I always have continuous play on while do a repetitive task. At first I was totally confused as to why the algorithm chose your video for me,…but I’m so GLAD it was! This is absolutely outside what I would normally chose to watch but I wish I had of came across your channel a lot sooner. Listening to talk so passionately and with such a positive attitude was so comforting and relaxing. I’ve found myself in a bit of a funk lately and have had this dark cloud of negativity the seems to follow me everywhere. Ive tried different things to bring me back to the world of positivity but nothing has helped. But after watching, mostly listening, to your video I honestly feel better then I have in months. You have no idea how much I’ve been trying to find even just a glimpse of some light at the end of the tunnel and now I do. Your attitude is so awesome, thank u! Oh if I could have reached into the screen to help you with the (pain in the ass lol) task of putting up the first wall I totally would have!! I was helping u mentally Lol😊

This video made me feel so relaxed. I felt my mind completely turn off while watching. Thank you so much for recording all of this. I seriously enjoyed it 😄😄😄

I've always wanted to do what you just did, all my life. But, life got in the way. Now that I'm retired I have the time and energy. Thanks for the step-by-step build, I really appreciate and enjoyed it.

I appreciate you bringing us along for the journey. Very inspiring. Thank you

My only regret is this video being only about 40 minutes. This was so soothing and relaxing. I enjoyed every minute of it! 😁❤

That was awesome. My dad was a builder , taught himself, and taught my two brothers how to build. Made me appreciate how hard they worked. My dad is gone now. This video made me think of him.

What a great, beautiful tutorial. Loved ever bit of it. I’m 71 and you made it look like I could build it. 😊. Loved your technique.

What an amazing video. From start to finish. True craftsmanship. Great outcome. Truly appreciate you sharing.

This is Discovery Channel level quality video making. I would easily watch a show about this kind of stuff all day. You just got yourself a new subscriber, Mr. Bushradical. I'm an engineer, so I'd love to actually build a cabin similar to this instead of doing calculations in an office all day. Something about using your hands to actually make something just feels right.

My wife and I are currently working towards getting out of debt and buying some land...almost there. Your channel has really motivated me to stay focused on the goal and helped me to gain confidence in my abilities to build us a cabin.

Thanks 4 all ur kids on cabin building I wish that I would have done what u do when I was younger but at 72 I guess watching u n brook is about as close as I will come to seeing a log cabin keep on doing what u do n God bless u both

Happy to hear we will be able to see and hear your works, I totally enjoy all your videos so informative!

This video was so satisfying to watch. Cold weather and a safe, warm place to snuggle up in….this is one of the most hearty, content feelings in the world. I’d love to see a follow up video, once you get the cabin filled with furniture, just getting to see you enjoy the place for a day and night.

I have always seen myself as one with a short attention span. I always seem to skip around videos to see parts I want to and what not. But there is something about documenting the outdoors, and building something with ones hands, that just takes me to a different place. I watched the whole 40 minute videos without thinking about clicking off and watching something else once. I would like to thank you for the incredible job that you’ve done on the cabin, and on the video. Your cinematography is outstanding. The subtle music in the background, and the cinematic shots of the nature around you really tie the whole thing together. Also the occasional story here and there are really something special. I hope the cabin serves you well and houses many good memories.

Wow. I just stumbled across this video. You made my Sunday morning with a cup of coffee. Great work. I agree with all the other posts I read. Thank you.

Thanks for taking us along my Friend... I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. Hard work

I can honestly say I can not remember watching something I enjoyed as much as this video for a very long time. What an enviable experience. You are blessed among men, sir.

I am not a “prepper”, a handyman, nor do i like construction. I am just a random millennial that came across this video because I follow camping stuff for Jeeps. All of that said, I am impressed with your prowess. The build was fantastic, and one thing that likely isn’t mentioned elsewhere here is your editing skills. This was all around a lovely video. Great job.

I’m watching every single video this gentleman has made as the amount of effort time and love he pours into them for us is amazing and I am so grateful! I learn so much and I learn “ this is one way to do it “ You’re so authentic and lovely Thank you 🙏🏼

Watching this was very therapeutic not to mention educational. Thanks for sharing!

Dave, you are truly blessed to have the health and knowledge to build a cabin, let alone the property and means to purchase all of the building materials!

Is it weird that I found this to be so peaceful and satisfying to watch. Would love a place like this

Outstanding !!! I love the TREES AND THE SNOW

I wish I would have this when I was younger but at 72 I guess watching u n brook will b as close as I will get to see a log cabin build keep on making these building projects n God bless u n yours

This is by far one of the best cabin-raising videos I’ve ever watched. Great shots, easy narration, appropriate soundtrack, educational and entertaining, and of course, I have a fondness for the Upper Midwest. Felt like my uncle was talking me through a build. Can’t wait to see if there’s an update or part 2!

I came across this video by accident. I started watching, and I COULD NOT stop watching. This was so relaxing and satisfying to watch. Loved seeing this no nonsense, practical aspect to building a cabin. On To Part 2!

Thanks for showing us how to build one. I'll get cracking on throwing one up next week.❤🎉

What a great job describing your build as you went along. Love the guitar in the background.

men only want 1 thing, and its fkin beautiful

Retiring from the military in about six months and I’m truly inspired and super interested in doing what you’re doing. Thank you for this!

Satisfying to watch... makes me appreciate all that goes into the process.

Best off grid cabin build video ever loved it.

41 minutes, 20 seconds of pure, relaxing bliss. Just what I needed to end out a stressful year. Thank you, talented builder/creator. Thank you.

I have a “man fort” in the woods that is so similar to your cabin that when I shared this video with my family they thought I made a video of me building mine. I absolutely loved seeing how much better I should have made mine 🤣. Beautiful build and filming such a pleasure to watch and enjoy thanks

This video brought so much peace and joy into this moment in my day. Thank you! Well done. Such a treat, such a treasure. I totally had a moment of overwhelming gratitude for our beautiful world and the wisdom we have. Thank you.

I love the ring/echo of the hammer when you are laying down nails! Peaceful, yet lonely! Maybe that's why I love it!

Great camera work and the subtle inserts of tools and birds and vistas, simply genius. Also the old tools worn by time bring their old world charm to this project. Also for me one the greatest bonuses, no cussing, blasphemy or disrespect. That is even after your Herculean attempt to move the first panel came to naught but then again brain beats brawn every time. Thank you for an amazing upload and I have nothing but respect for you dear Dave. Wishing you many amazing memories in your beautiful cabin in the woods. Take care and God Bless. From Cape Town - RSA. 💖

The cabin is wonderful. But what I appreciate even more is the effort you put into the video itself!! Having worked in the TV industry for 20 years, I know how difficult it is to put something like this together. All the lovely cut aways and the attention to detail, the forethought for each shot so that the viewer remains engaged, and then.... The editing! That is no mean feat.

What a nice little cabin. God bless brother and thanks for the video

You're very calming. I'm watching this just before bed and I am very relaxed and I would love to sleep in that little cabin.

As someone who has always dreamed of building my own little cabin in the woods but never got any foundation in construction, I thank you immensely for filming the entire process and showing how easy it can actually be. It's a huge inspiration, and I hope to start on my own cabin next season!

Along with the actual process of the project, enjoyed the heck out of your positive attitude and narration mixed with light instrumental music and the sounds of work, fire and nature!

That cabin looks so cozy, what an amazing build.

Loved watching this it amazes me you can just figure this all out. And made a wonderful breakfast and meals in the middle of the woods. Koolaid cracked me up. I love it too!

Your "bit off more than I can chew" part reminds me of a time when I was working on a heavy Inline 4 and removing it from the frame while the bike was still somewhat assembled. I didn't realize how heavy the engine was until it was partly out of the frame and teetering/about to fall off and I was at such an awkward angle, I either had to give up, or let it drop. I let it drop. Luckily everything was fine lol. My hat is off to you sir, I thought building a motorcycle was hard work, this is a whole 'nother level.

You're an inspiration for everyone who says... "I can't do that," then watches your videos and goes out and does it! Thanks, Dave.........

This video is awesome. Just the right amount of talking and music. Love the craftsmanship that you put in your work.

I cannot stop watching. It’s mesmerizing. Wish I could do this! So impressive and his voice is so calming

My dad passed away suddenly this year, and I always helped him with projects when I was younger. So much of this video has brought back so many memories of the many house projects we did together; from the exact tools he had, to your little bits of humor throughout. Thank you, truly, for these videos.

I’ve seriously watched this several times and I’m living vicariously through this video. This is my dream, a place like this. Loved every second, nice work and thanks for sharing!

Damn not even using gloves when messing with the insulation what a GOAT 😂

Wow Man American guys are so good when it comes to DIY, building. Great work. I save this video as a reference if I ever build somithing like this in the future...

I just complained on another guy's video that it was too long and full of fluff. Now I watched this entire video, fascinated from end to end. The practical construction tips (including the stuff you just do and don't bother explaining) are priceless. This was great. Most inspiring video of its kind I have seen.

This is probably the most straight-forward and easy-to-understand instructional that I've seen on cabin/tiny house building. Usually these types of videos have some combination of bad camera angles, coupled with other critical details missing. Not this one. Just about every last detail is clearly explained, and for those that are not (e.g. wood stain), he directs you to where you can find that info. I'll be using this as a guide for my cabin build. Bravo, and thanks!

What a fantastic job you have done. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m glad for you !!! Building your own Cabin in the Woods??? What a Accomplishment!!!!

Never knew how much I would enjoy someone just building a cabin and having a good time! Camera work was much cleaner than expected, and I really enjoyed this video. Definitely coming back for more videos like this one.

"Nothing fancy. Just a simple little cabin... in the woods." Awesome to a magnitude of infinity! Great video.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Now I hope you really enjoy your time there. You’re truly blessed!

Next year i've been tasked with building a patio/deck for myself and my partners humble abode, came across this... i believe this is the real american dream
