Watch as I build a root cellar out of a metal culvert that will be used to preserve foods at my off grid cabin in the woods. The full Season: • Building a Small Cabin...
While I'm busy building a cellar, this channel is more about building interesting things using all kinds of tools, from excavators, to chainsaws, and all kinds of hand tools, and power tools.
The cooling properties of the earth help keep food from spoiling much better than when they are exposed to high outside temperatures.
Root cellars are an ancient form of long-term food storage for root vegetables and other preserves such as jams, jellies, and even fermented beverages. Of course, these date back much before the invention of modern refrigerators. Early records show root cellars being used back 40,000 years.
Australians were believed to have been the first to use cellars, while walk in cellars were used in 17th Century England.
With more modern agriculture and bountiful crops, people needed to find a way to keep food cashes from spoiling so they could be saved and consumed throughout the year rather than simply experience feast or famine.
Root Cellars are essentially refrigerators, under the earth, foods can be covered from the sunlight and therefor inhibit spoilage. A good root cellar can often be 40F cooler than the outside temperature.
Some foods do better in high humidity while others do better in low humidity, so it's important to know specific food requirements so they can be sorted into different types of cellars. Canned foods and grain do better in lower humidifies, while carrots, potatoes, and turnips do better in high humidity.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

This guide is a good resource of videos, pictures and drawing. It does not have plans, so if that's what you're looking for don't bother with this book. ru-vid.comUgkxLum--iPp9YKZ09j1BMdHaBMLkrGfIbcm What this book does have is a lot of great information on the building of sheds, design ideas, building options, etc. The author goes through the steps to build a foundation, framing, roof, even ideas on internal storage and external finishes. The text is easy to follow and understand. There are many sidebars that give tips and advice which most laymen probably wouldn't have considered. The photographs are great quality too. This is a great book and I'd recommend it highly for anyone needing or interested in building a shed.

The idea of shooting game from your new toilet "22:30" brings back happy family memories. When I was about 8, we had a big house with out buildings, a huge garden, and woods all around. My Father used to sit on the loo having his morning constitutional. He would open the huge sash window and shoot pigeons with his 12 bore while he was pooing! I still cook his recipe for Roast Pigeon with lardons, shallots and petit pois. Delish! I still have visions of the old boy sitting on his throne and the barrels of his shotgun poking out through the window. Barking mad of course, but great fun!

unless you have a system to dry the air. the condensation is going to happen. It's a hassle a lot of people don't consider with container houses. it's basically just a natural cause/effect from humid air contacting the cold metal. and transitioning to liquid.

I know it's expensive but I do however agree with the woodedbeardsman. Your going to find out that your root cellar( great start mind you) will need to be be longer ideally a bit wider too. It's a great idea, exactly what I would do however I would have gone a bit deeper and wider. The only reason I'd go wider is that with room to move around and storage a 6½ft will soon be cluttered with shelves and preserves of food like carrots potatoes and onions.

@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924 2 года назад

Its called rendering and weve been using those styrofoam block for years , before the compressed styro just normal polystyrene and before that wood also works, the trick is not to bring the water to the surface. If you do it will delaminate from the under layer. Its a really nice project but it really needs to be 2 metres underground to protect it from the frosts and to keep it at a standard temperature. we used to have a lot of these in Europe and still do in the rural areas, also you can still see ice caves or houses that were built to keep ice all the way through summer. those however are very large buildings underground and normally next to a lake where the ice could be dragged into the ice house.

On the wood, even though that type is basically root resistant, a way to make it last much, muck longer is to char it, that brings out some oils causing it to me very water resistant, and it just looks cool... Loved the video... Have fun brother..

So we did our business in a two-holer outhouse for most of a year. Door of the outhouse faced side of corncrib 50 feet away and corncrib had rats - which were great target practice for my brother & myself from our position while on "the throne."

Down here in Oklahoma, we would want it 3-5 feet deep. For everyone still using empirical measurements, 17.4 is about 63 degrees and change - not too shabby. Putting in a fan for ventilation will help prevent root veggies from getting mildew from the condensation, when its humid. Humidity may not be a huge issue everywhere, but it is here on the prairie .. its an open air sous vide cooker in the late spring-summer .. and part of the fall, too. The missus and I enjoyed the whole video - you could have put a few extra ads in.

If they are NEVER necessary, you are already enjoying making these projects and using them in daily living.

I'd like an update on how the root cellar is doing at some point. Did you put in the extra shelves and crates as you discussed? I know you don't have a lot of room in there, but did you consider making a floor inside? I really do appreciate that you make the effort to make things not just functional but pleasing to the eye, too. I feel like a lot of makers out there think aesthetics are pointless, but feeling like your space looks NICE is honestly a huge morale booster, and part of what makes watching your channel so fun for me. :-)

Great idea. If he put a floor in it he could use those really deep slides to build drawers underneath to access from the front. And then make trap drawers to access under the floor in the back. Whatever likes the most cold might do best down under the floor.

@nancyst.john-smith3891 2 года назад

I love the root cellar and am almost jealous!! The idea of a floor is cool, but standing up inside is dear to me. I like the idea of a shelf or 2 or 3 down the length on both sides of the root cellar, with room for water jugs, milk crates, etc. I would also get a desiccant tub to cut back on the condensation. Everything I’ve read says you need 2 small air flow vents for air circulation. 1 low, 1 high, if you’re really storing food supplies. Great job wood chucker!! They make shelters of 12’ diameter culvert with access hatch storage for food, water and supplies below the floor. I’ll take a 12’by 30’, please!!

Its called a drift pin. To align holes

@AnxiousCowboy 3 года назад

We call it a chickee pin where I’m from

@Kmurray9244 3 года назад

Yep 'drift pin' or slave pin... Do a search... Im sure there are many colloquial terms but formally, a drift or slave pin ... Drift pin more so for larger projects like iron work and building erection projects, slave pin more so for small pinned tools like firearms.. as a shipfitter I've used many ...
