Yours is a terrific channel for so many reasons. Your relationship with your dad resonates with many of us, even tho he is now gone, the cabin and all that it took the two of you to build still stands as a home full of memories. Great ones. Watching the way you plan and execute each piece of the build and now, occupy is always fun. I for one, would enjoy watching you repair the snow cat and snowmobile but I'm a little wired that way... Thanks for sharing your great adventure...always fun to look forward to and to watch. :)

The door is so cool, but the ingenuity in making a planing sled on site is extraordinary.

You continue to impress this East Canadian household with your patience, forethought being alone to shift heavy items, and your story telling. I continue to think of you and your father, Senior Outsider. He would be so proud of you Mr. Outsider❤‍🩹🇨🇦🍁

Enjoyed this episode! You have built a beautiful cabin! Thought of your dad and his help in previous videos. Miss seeing him as you also miss him! God bless you and your family!

That door is literally a work of art, your skills are on another level.

Your Dad would be proud with how the cabin is developing. Looking forward to seeing the epoxy door hanging.

Man.... I just finally saw your 3 hour video last night and have binged all since then. What a journey.... what a cabin.... what an experience. The memories of you and your father building that place will always come to mind whenever you're there. Thank you for sharing the adventure so far with us. I'm very much looking forward to you finishing the place and finally building a PORCH!! Come on man.... gotta get that done. Lol. I have a feeling you'll never be done with this masterpiece. There will always be ideas popping up to build. Keep up the great work!! Fun to watch!

Good see you again brother. Awesome job and a lot of work on the door. Beautiful and will be awesome once complete. Hope your wife is doing fine and know that we are praying for her and your family. Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. God bless you and your family. I have been following you for yrs and my wife and I always look forward to your next video of the cabin build. I put the video up on the big screen and watch you here on our front room. As I write this I am remembering your Dad as you sat there in front of the fire no doubt remembering as well. I myself have lost both my parents and many friends during the time of your cabin build over these yrs past. I will always your remember your Dad and how awesome of a carpenter he was, as are you. Again, God bless you and thank you so much for all your time and effort put into one of most awesome cabin builds I have had the pleasure of ever witnessing.

HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP to you and your family! I hope that your wife's health is good!

The stance of that cabin! The overall shape and the way it 'pops' against the woods is incredible.

Short but sweet. Thank you for sharing. Take care, be safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

THIS IS WITHOUT DOUGHT THE BEST QUALITY BUILT CABIN ON THE NET, UK

The cabin is looking fantastic. I like to see you are so engaged after losing your Dad. I missed that second pair of hands when doing build work. Today years later I still see the details we both installed in the family home and those of my brother and Grandparents both, just as you and your family will. Happy advent and God bless from the UK.

That door is a total labor of love for sure and it will be beautiful when you install it. Thank you for your wonderful video's over the years AND.... God is Blessing YOU and your family.

Great to see you back in action, sounds like you got a few equipment repairs to get done, can't wait to see the epoxy door hung :)

When I saw this tractor I remembered my childhood, I drove it with seven years, my mom taught me.

I love watching you move about the property remembering the episodes with your dad. Thinking of you all. God Bless

Snow and ice build-up are definitely major problems with solar panels in cold climates. Adding a wind turbine would be a good addition. If you get a cheap one, you could use it just to heat the solar panels to keep them clear. Just use electric heat cables that are designed to go on roofs to prevent ice dams.

Such a beautiful door! Stay warm and safe, happy holidays to you and yours. Thanks for the update.

I remember the sinking of the McCormick so well, I was so impressed with your efforts to release it. You are a true woodsman!

We watched all 104 episodes . Thoroughly enjoyed each one . We will keep watching all others as well . God bless you

Super job! Loved hearing the birds chirping in the forest and seeing the beautiful snow. Must have been the same snow event we just had in Michigan. It was nasty! Glad ours is melted now!

I just noticed you've hit the million subscriber mark on your channel. Well done.

There’s nothing better than a crackling fire in a wood stove in winter. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to get blizzards and this was the sound all night.

Awesome lovie you are an inspiration of integrity and honesty. A gift of creativity from our Heavenly Father. Everything we see is beautiful. God bless you and your family. Love you guys New Zealand.

put a tarp on the top and let it hang behind, then when you get a snow prediction you just flip the tarp over the panels, after the snow stops falling you just flip the tarp back and hey presto, clean panels.

Thank you for sharing this passion and adventure with us. Lowers my blood pressure every time I get to settle in and take part as if we were all there with you. God Bless you and your family.

Well working on equipment is all part of off grid life. Many of the off grid, homesteader and farming channels I watch share there ups and downs. We don't mind learning what your tips and tricks to fix things off grid are. 🤔🤔👍👍

Some Rain X Might help with the Snow sticking to the Solar Panels a little bit.

While our log cabin that I lived in with my dad in AK was never this beautiful it held special memories of us working on it. He died before it was finished too. Bank took it back. Your channel has brought me back to those wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing.

The Apoxi door with tree really adds class to the cabin ! I like it !!!

Great video happy you made it home safely with the door. The snow is beautiful except when you get stuck in it. To you and your family have a safe and blessed holiday season.

Always thinking of your dad when I see you do projects he is an angel when your shoulder God bless you and your family

Cannot help but think of your dad every time I watch your Vids

WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE YOUR FAMILY TO. EACH TIME I WATCH ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS I CAN,T HELP THINKING OF ALL THE VIDEOS I WATCHED WITH YOU AND YOUR DAD BUILDING THIS CABIN. HE HAD GREAT CARTPENDER SKILLS.AND THEY ARE ALL OVER THIS CABIN.LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL YOUR VIDEOS THAT WILL BE COMING. SO FOR NOW I WILL SAY GOODBYE. AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I love my new Outsider shirt! You have such wonderful skills for someone your age. Your Dad taught you well. I know he will always be there with you. I hope you and your family are doing well. Please keep up the great work so we can see the cabin finished! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay warm and humble, my friend. You are an inspiration to all! Merry Christmas to you and your family, God bless!

That rear epoxy door is a brilliant, creative idea... excited to see it finished... I'm certain it will be amazing. Interested to learn what surfacing router bit you used.

Just to make a note for future reference, one project that I'm looking forward to the front deck, with as I recall, you may or may not use those curved trees on or in the construction of. Yes, the clear door with the tree in it will be neat, and for many years I had a silver birch in a corner of my lounge with all sorts of stuff from my travels hanging on it, but for some reason, it is the look of the whole cabin that appeals to me most, and I still fondly recall the videos of times when you and your father were working on bringing it to life. Best of luck, and the very best of wishes to you and your family.

This series is FANTASTIC!! I’m recently retired from 40 years in the building trades as a carpenter. I’m also a hobby woodworker so appreciate all your challenges, research and dedication to your project. It was heartbreaking that your father passed away. I find your videos very peaceful and relaxing to watch and love your dedication to preserving the forest that allows you to build this cabin. Great work and thanks.

May I say I saw your dads Flannel hanging on the back of the chair I was immediately struck too tears , your dad Made beautiful memories that he made with every cut and everything you helped you do in that cabin her dad was such a great man I just lost my dad maybe that’s why I’m so emotional please pray for me brother

I wasn't following 8 years ago when you started gathering logs and stones I only came across like 2 years ago. I caught myself up real quick by watching all the past videos and always look forward to the next video to be posted. Keep up the excellent work it's a beautiful cabin and even more beautiful property.

Lookin good...can't wait to see that door in place..an amazing work of art!! Thanks!! 👍🐺🧙‍♂️🦊👍!!

I have seen other people stack bricks on top, and also have seen then dry stack an enclosure around the stove itself... It is very effective for storing extra heat.... Door looks great! I kinda like the "frosted look" of the plexi...

Everytime...I just love your sponsoring segment's and narations !!! You have a natural talent for advertisement. 🙂👍

Over one bench, it would be nice to be able to hang your winter gear. It is a great place to dry out stuff. An excellent heavy wood peg system would match the aesthetic of the cabin. The stone-covered bench will be a nice place to put your winter boots on. A longer-handled broom would be handy to hang on the left side outside the wall. Then any family member could rake the snow from the solar panels. A plus is if you put a sauna and shower underneath the solar panels, the heat will melt the snow.

Your videos are informative (really enjoy how you explain things in just enough detail where I understand what you are doing, but don't feel stupid for not knowing) and interesting (in that way where I know I will never do what you do, but find the procedures fascinating. The locations are beautiful. But your voice is so calming, which is the icing on the cake of enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your work.

To the Cormick. Snow chains front and rear, reversible snowblower + extra weights to the front. After door, make extra room with an other door to keep winter out. Make extra door, if that epoxy one shaders

I have recently found you channel and begun with the complete log cabin build, then have started watching the more detailed episodes. I am from the UK and would love to be able to build and live in a cabin in an area such as yours. I admire how open you are sharing details of mrs outsiders battles and your dads tragic loss. You have built an amazing log cabin with so many heart warming memories for the future with your family. I know your dad was and would be very proud of what you have achieved. You are a true inspiration to others. You and your family deserve to be happy and i really wish you all the best for the future.

I will echo what others have said. I think your dad would be very proud of the creative ways you devise to get things done on your own.

We love building stuff so working on your machines would be a nice add on. Film that too. We’ll watch. And it may bring in new viewers.

Beautiful idea and as always, nice editing. Blessings and a prayer for your Dad.

Everytime I see you, I think of your dad now and it brings tears to my eyes and makes me miss mine terribly. That cabin is amazing, btw your dad is there with you all the time . I can literally see his presence.;)

The door is going to be so awesome installed.

I liked the shot of the router taking material off. Satisfying to watch.

The only problem still is a solid foundation... i wouldnt trust these stones... love your house and the craftsmanship you displayed!

I see that there's no man like you,I'm amazed that you are one of the kind, your manors and work ethics are very rare, God bless you and woman that have you.

Love the epoxy door project. The cabin is coming together brilliantly. I hope all is well with you and your family. Looking forward to the next chapter.

It's going to be exciting to see the epoxy door done. In general this is a very amazing build! God bless you and your family!

One of the nicely made cabin I saw in YT. The outside is frigid cold but beautiful. The green pine trees and the white snow.

you could use a fan ,to distribute the heat in the cabin.... the craftmanship is amazing, can't wait for the door to be hang

That Door, how creative of you and I know your father would its beautiful and my son made it, he is so proud and so am I. Afriend.

A true testament to your success is reading through all the positive and uplifting comments. Well done, sir.

As a non Christian man, I don't have any religion to be honest, I do feel that you genuinely mean it when u say "god bless" to us. And I don't know why, but it warms my heart to hear you say it. I've been watching you for quite some time now (although today I had to re-sub to the channel for some strange reason (I got a new phone recently perhaps that may be the reason). Anyways, I for one would like to see you do all the work on the machinery that you need to do for what that's worth to you. I have never seen an episode on this channel that I didn't learn from or feel inspired by yet. I'd love to be able to do what you have done, a cabin in the woods is literally my idea of heaven (no religious joke intended ,I just don't know how to put it across any better). I think you're very much an inspiration in many many ways. And I truly hope your channel continues for many years to come. good luck to you,

Even when the videos are short to presence of what God has made is so amazing. Love your cabin in the woods and the memories you have made with building it. I cannot wait to see that door up. It is going to be absolutely amazing. God Bless!

I had to chuckle for a moment at your indoor snowfall of shaved epoxy. Always as great treat to watch your progress.

Every time I watch your channel I think of your dad! Keep up the great videos!

Great video, love the sound of the Towhees in drone shot...Your father is watching lovingly....

You are such a genius doing that router. That door is amazing. Every time we watch your videos my wife always wonders how your wife is doing. Can you give us an update about her? Thank you.

YA. where you been. We miss your smiling face. The cabin is so beautiful. Always anxious to see another video. Thks for sharing this part of your life.

Some beautiful Glacier Blue or Nordic Black Canadian granite slabs atop a large brick box underpinning would make for a wonderful installation, not only to hold heat, dry out winter wear or sit near the stove. But also as kindling wood/chopped wood storage for those times when you just don't want to go out for an armload of burnstock! 😉. Hope the family is doing well. Looking forward to seeing that one-of-a-kind door!!

I just love how you have made the door let alone the cabin. They will look lovely when it is all finished.

Seeing you move that heavy door by yourself, knowing you miss your other 2 hand, as I do. Stay safe and God Bless.

You should think about getting yourself a heat powered fan to sit on top of the fireplace. They surprisingly work quite well and they're fairly cheap to, from like $35 all the way up to $100+ depending on the unit. I got one for my appointment for the old school gas furnace which is basically like a fireplace and I don't know how I've lived here so many years without one LOL. Looking forward to the flood coat and final polish video! 👍👍

The door looks amazing well done...Your Dad would be proud....Happy Holidays to you and your family God Bless.

Can hardly wait for your next episode . Waiting to see the lovely back door installed . Good to know that your arm has healed . You are very lucky .

Hope your machines get repaired as you wish them to.

I am impressed with the strength of your knees! That was a lot of kneeling for the door.

Quite a lot of us enjoy restorations/repairs of equipment as well so feel free to take us through the equipment repairs as well - best wishes from the uk

Odlično opravljeno delo ! Lepa hišica .👍 Vesel Božič ter sečno novo 2023 leto vam želim . Pozdrav iz Slovenije ! ☃️☃️🎅

Good morning from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing the building of the cabin and the finishing up inside of the cabin

You should cover you solar panels in rain-x or something like that so the snow doesn't stick

You and your dad have built a beautiful cabin. Your family should have years of building memories there. I look forward to watching all of your videos, keep up the great work.

You should look into putting 12v heat strips on the solar panels. This would allow you to keep the panels clear of snow and ice

Always keep a minimum of 1 inch of ash at the bottom of the stove to help lightin kindling and protect the bricks.

Doesn't snow where I live it rarely gets cold at all. Seeing the cabin with snow on the roof is a grand sight for me. The door looks to be coming along great.

Wow the shots of the cabin in the snow are amazing. I can’t wait to see the door in hopefully the next episode. Your doing great & thank you for continuing to share this with us.

You need some gravel on the bad spots on your driveway. Should help much. My neighbor had a too weel tractor. He used to help me a lot, but then I bought a Kubota tractor 4x4, with front loader. That was in 1995, Today I still have and smaller tractor, the BX tractor and is good enough to remove the snow and do multiple jobs thru the years. But this last winter all the snow fell on the Northeast and California, we just got very low temperatures.

Always enjoyable to watch U use your multi-talents and the 'Works of Art' they create. thank-you most kindly 4 sharing with us. I pray that arm of yours heals well. Health and God Bless!

Nice! That door is really unique! What plans do you have for the steps to your front door? I slipped on icy temporary steps similar to yours as I was leaving with my arms full of tools. This resulted in cracked ribs and a strained back. I kept working but it was quite painful and it really slowed me down for a couple weeks. I had been through that door and down the steps hundred's of times without a problem until this happened and would hate to see it happen to anyone else, especially someone like you that is working alone and isolated.

Not sure if any of us is looking for excitement while watching your videos but, 15min snipets are just fine. A series of videos covering a specific topic would make for engaging regularly easy to accept. I'm sure people know how to fast forward through things they feel they can. You are fine sending out 15min videos. It may provide just enough income in views to make it worth your while. Unfortunately I don't know just yet. Thanks for bringing us along.

BROTHER, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...

Excellent! Nice rig on the router

You be the man … your workmanship IS beyond words …. Love your channel 🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓

Your the most honest vivid as a person “ youtuber” i have seen,very hard working and relation with your father was awesome he help you every step ,within his heart, as some of us don’t have that type of relation with our parents for many reasons.. god bless stay safe keep posting i just subscribed cant wait to see up coming videos thanks!

It's a great thing that you have!! Common sense!!! You learned well from your Mom and Dad and the Lord!!! Take care my friend!!!

If you ever get your tractor stuck you can chain a long post to the side of each wheel and they act like paddles. They should look like the symbol for diameter but longer.

I could be watching your videos all day, the image quality is excellent, the voiceover is amazing and the landscapes too. Congratulations on your great work and thanks for sharing. Greetings from Argentina

You should look into bifacial solar panels to help reduce the snow on the face and to keep power coming in from the back side of the panels which will help melt the snow on the face.

I THINK that I have watched every episode of you and your dad's cabin build, and as I've said B4 the PRECISION of you and your father's work is what impresses me the most! Which tells me that not only do you KNOW HOW to build structures that have the STRENGTH to withstand both the outdoor ELEMENTS, but also the test of TIME And this resin door with a tree inside is ONE MORE example of your FINISH CARPENTRY skills. THAT is REALLY gonna be AMAZING ! ! ! I for one, would like to see both WHERE and WHAT your M-F "HOME" looks like So I hope you'll show US around there as you're working on the "Tree door". .... And somewhere down the line, I hope you'll go back to that old well exploration ..! You DEFINITELY have LOTS of vlog material to share, and I certainly hope you will, cause we're eating it up ! ....and I'd like to say one last thing, because I THINK it is one more thing that makes YOUR CHANNEL something WORTH WATCHING.....and that is your obvious BELIEF IN and LOVE OF..... GOD, our FATHER in Heaven, which is the source of EVERYTHING GOOD we each experience in our individual mortal journeys. And I am grateful for your being bold enough to express that on your channel !❤️!😃!!❤️!😃!! From.... the "UTAH'N"... GOD BLESS U2 !
