@jpkoepse Thanks! Both taste fine, but I find that the fresh twigs and branches impart more flavor than the leaves.

Thanks!

That’s a great deal of the work! It took me forever to gather all the stone for mine. I hope your project goes well for you 👍

Thanks! I was without much in the way of internet service for a while. The only options out here are cell or satellite. Still waiting on star link, and then they shut down 3G so that’s made things worse as our signal is so weak to begin with. I finally had to retire my iPhone 4 after 11 years for an iPhone SE so I have a little service now, lol.

Thanks! I might have to do another video now that it’s firewood season again. It’s nice to know we can put wood up without a chainsaw if we need to.

@@Cubjeep1 A True Warrior and spirit !!!...Godspeed to you my friend...Thank you for sharing....and looking forward to your next post....Much Respect from St Petersburg Florida....Merry Christmas.......

Thanks! Yes, we built a set of cots that I will hopefully have in my next video.

@@Cubjeep1 Excellent! You & your brother are quite talented. I just found your channel. I look forward to watching all your vids! Take care.😺👍

Thanks! Hopefully after things settle down with our garden etc. I can do an overnight episode. We built a set of Nordisk Marselis style cots, which I think is going to be much more practical than a permanent bed structure.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, digging deeper into the mountain than I did would have been very difficult as the rock was getting pretty solid. Not impossible, but would have taken more time, materials and probably money than I wanted to invest.

Thank you! More videos to come soon.....

Thanks. It is a little like Minecraft 😂 This seemed more productive though.

@@Cubjeep1 Haha most definitely.

Thank you 👍 I currently have it set up to hang two hammocks, sadly I’ve found I don’t sleep well in a hammock 😂 I’ll be making a set of Nordisk Marselis style cots for a more comfortable setup in the future.

o nvm its just poplar

@@badgoy8439 Yeah, my original plan was to use oak, but I didn’t have any oak trees that large to cut. In the end I was glad because it would have taken some superhuman effort to get oak beams up on the walls 😂

@@Cubjeep1 i think the 12x10 poplar will probably manage to get the job done for a few hundred years :D

Thanks👍 Glad you enjoyed it. Hope your build goes well !

Thanks!

Thank you. I am slowly improving my stone stacking skills ( this was my first such project, so I didn’t really feel I knew enough to make a tutorial video). I’m recording my next project ( stone arch bridge ) that should an interesting experience. Originally I had intended to forge long steel straps to anchor the 9”x12” sill plates into the bedrock at the bottom of the walls, but when it was all put together it was heavy enough it didn’t really end up needing anything and just sits on top of the walls. I’m located in SW VA.

Thanks! I hope to get another out soon, in the meantime I have a few others of the cabin on my channel if you haven’t seen them yet.

@@Cubjeep1 Seen them all, it's one of my favourite cabins on yt after all.

@@adriansandu2583 Well, I’m honored that you enjoy it so much!! I’m currently working on a late fall foraging video, but it will feature the cabin quite a bit 👍

Hey, I’m actually located in SW Virginia. Though I have lived here my whole life, I probably get my accent from my parents who were from the Utica area of NY.

@@Cubjeep1 Awesome place. You've helped me decide what to do with my hillbilly homestead.

Glad I was able to inspire you. I’m currently starting a stone arch bridge over the small creek I have to cross to access the cabin. I’m trying to take more video this time so I can put together an actual build video for this new project.

@@Cubjeep1 That's Awesome!! Thanks!! Made my day

Good question ! The walls are completely “dry stacked” without mortar. However, after finishing I made a soft mortar (which allows the dry stacked stone to move naturally as it does) from creek sand and cement to grout the inside (only goes into the rocks a few inches) to keep out wind and vermin. The only structure that uses mortar completely between the stones is the chimney for safety reasons.

Thank you!

@Adrian Sandu I working on some videos now, summer has been especially busy this year with a large garden and such, so hopefully I will have more time to do some videos.

@@Cubjeep1 Awesome, can't wait!

Good question! The walls are indeed dry stacked, but I decided to chink it to keep the wind out. After some consideration I settled on making the chinking mortar from a little cement with sand from our creek. The only part that is truly stone and mortar is the chimney.

Good question! The walls are indeed dry stacked, but decided to fill the gaps in the walls to keep the wind and vermin out. After some consideration I settled on filling with a little cement with sand from our creek. The only part that is truly stone and mortar is the chimney. Lots of work as I had to carry in all the water, sand and cement. ( Sorry the reply took so long, KZfaq kept deleting my comment because I was using the age old term for filling gaps in walls : C - h +- i = n - K = i - N + g. 🙄 )

Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for the Sub!
