The Maiden Voyage | Winter “Blizzard” | New Log Cabin Design | Wall Tent Repair | An Oh S**t Moment

After some weather and snow delays the bridge is finally complete. This bridge is needed to get to the future cabin build site. The hills are roughly a 35° incline/decline so it’s not an easy trip.
The maiden voyage was almost a disaster as I started sliding backwards down the hill. The only thing that stopped me was a large tree. Once I regained traction, I.made it up the hill pretty easily.
Spent time at cabin cleaning up and rearranging. Also, began sketches of new log cabin build set to start late 2024.
Gave my wall tent some much needed attention that was in need of repair due to the snow, ice and high winds.

Got a good laugh here, I guess where you live that would be considered a blizzard. Buffalo, NY can show you what a real blizzard is like. What you got there is a normal for us but, this year all we got was one big snow fall and that was it ! Keep up the great work, enjoy your videos ! 👍

❤seriously love 💗 your cabin build been following along for awhile . Wanted to suggest a product for you it is available through HD or online it’s called Lanco Siliconizer we have used this products all over our off grid land for years . Now that you have redone your canvas tent ⛺️ you could mop on this product & it will seal your canvas tent for years !!! No more rotting or leaks & use it under floors on walls etc. my dad even used it over his shingles at his home & no more leaks . Keep it up 👍 bud we love your work & I hope this helps you in the future, you’re welcome 😉

That’s the plan. I always wanted to build a “real log” cabin so we’ll see if I can make it happen. I won’t be able to haul any materials to the new build site so it will be logs and stones for construction. Should be a real challenge.

That green paint isn't cheap, why not go with a cheaper yet durable side by side such as a Kubota?? The 4x4s are strong little things that can accomplish more than what i would have guessed. If you search you can usually find one that is a year or so old and either been traded in or repossessed.

Glad you didn't slide out and roll over. Does that top support on your rig double as a roll bar or is it just to hold the top in place? I bet your chance of roll over is very high there. So was that damage on the tent or age rot ?

@TheOffGridExperience 5 ай бұрын

It is a roll bar thankfully. Tent damage had more to do with tarp blowing off on that side and being exposed to snow/ice/high winds.

How does it do in extreme cold? Obviously logs are excellent but didn’t know if these were thick enough to give you the Rvalue and Thermal Break a round or square log gives.

@TheOffGridExperience 5 ай бұрын

It does pretty well. Once it gets warm, it's fairly easy to maintain temperature. R Vvalue is around 7-8 but it's more dependent on thermal mass and walls heating up.
