My Ugly Off Grid Cabin 

Simplicity beats the Standard American Dream of perpetual debt.

When it comes to getting baked out, you could build a swamp cooler. It consumes as much energy as a fan, so I imagine it won't murder your solar. Love the videos by the way.

Richard this is absolutely astonishing!!! I love the simple shack (so to speak) that you've constructed. It's just amazing how far you have come in your journey to a much more simple and fulfilling life and I truly hope that you continue to progress forward in your endeavors. As long as the sun still shines, you will always have a faithful subscriber and a very supportive following of of friends!! Stay safe pal, and I'll see you over on the wild side!!🤠

You're comfortable with your self I think you could live anywhere regardless of size ,smoke or insulation. Stay safe

Build a fireplace instead of a stove. That would save space and you already know it will heat the room. Not to mention all the open fire cooking options, even a rotisserie? A simple screen fence to keep sparks off the dogs, goats and wood floor.

Just stumbled across your channel and quite happy I did. Simple, functional, and yours. Nothing beats that!

Looks like you're having fun experimenting with the technology! Bravo!

Nice, simple livin. TAKE CARE..

Love it man it, functional, efficient, awesome!

Be proud of what you have. Besides who is gonna drive that far out to mock you? Just yourself.

Thank you for the continued wonderful content!!

Good stuff. I was wondering why weight was a consideration, then you mentioned pulling on the trailer or the truck, then understood. If you have any of that 1/8 left over, you could cut into strips and batten over those butted joints.

I would want windows.....I don't like living like a mole. Being able to see out, stars at night, critters, mountains.....to me it is a "have to". I would be happy living in there, but my Wife I don't think would. I lived in a tipi with some friends for several years. We just had a fire pit in the center, straw under blankets for bedding. In really cold weather, -20F we had a big piece of solid metal about like a 2x4 that we put across the fire pit. Once it heated up, it stayed warm. The smoke flaps are designed to pull the smoke out, but yeah, sometimes it gets pretty bad!

Very cool! Respect 🙏

Enjoyed as usual. Nice place you have constructed. I have lived out on the range with cattle a bit in my life. I like your set up and wish well on it. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to the next video.

Man you are always an interesting watch. Love these videos and the way you live your life, keep it up my friend. Much love from NJ

6'x10' cabins have been used for 100s of years, i did a similar thing with the shed in my garden as i wanted to see if i could 😁, looks functional, thats what its about 👍🏼

Great work✌nice video super👍👍👍

Well it's nice to see you. I could give you lots of my ideas, but than it's my plan and not yours. I will say there was a point that I added a hand made stove out of a small grease barrel. With doors and heavy steel top for a cooking surface, and of course a smoke stack. I did not do this as a way around a smoke filled teepee though. It was built to keep heat when US forest state and local government would implement open fire bans during draught or dry fire seasons. Put a compliant spark arrestor over the chimney pipe and be completely legal. This was to keep me warm when law enforcement was unaware of local weather events. There is nothing like waking up in an open fire ban to open the door in the morning to 2&1/2' of global warming(snow). A light weight stove saves the day. There is ways to regulate draft in a teepee to keep smoke going up but kind of complicated to elaborate here. Experience is the best schooling. I to would like to build a small shelter similar to what you have done but again my idea is slightly different. I can and will share with you my thoughts if like in a later comment if you would like. Today my eyes are puticirly bad so it limits me for today. As you know I am all caught up on your content, and always willing to help. To bad we don't have other means of communication. I am working on a couple of projects, and have one or two I thought of shipping your way. Mountain man

Cowboys paradise!

My dream home is a tiny little cabin in the middle of nowhere!

That's cool

Looks alright to me.

Hey, I'm new to your channel, but yes, I'm one that is binge watching your videos, too, this weekend, in fact , lol. Hey, question: where did you get your hat, and what about pants. I've seen different styles in your videos but wanted to see where and what options you recommend for cowboy bedroll camping or more traditional living. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I made a yurt and bought oak for it. I decided not to use it just like you did because the oak was so heavy. I decided to stick with much lighter pine.

Hi there, I just found your channel and subscribed. Greetings from Poland

What's the Horse doing!!??!

I like your videos. O think you should add some sweeping shots with music to add to the experience. Keep it up!

A smaller wood stove would be better for the small space, love your videos.👍🏼👍🏼

My parents have a stove in their house. I'm thinking of converting my fireplace to one but i can see them being restricted if not outright banned in the future here unfortunately. Your content is great as always, keep it up lad

If you end up rebuilding the shed you should post the process. Easily the multiple video upload and interesting/entertaining no doubt. Would love to see the extra space for the animals/projects

Have you tried a radiant barrier to keep the heat out? I just installed one under my roof on my new tiny cabin, and it seems to help, but I haven’t gone through summer with it yet.

Another interesting video, thanks for all your work getting it out to us, p.s.i see you caught a cold, take care of yourself, when I get congested I put Vicks under my nose and breathe steam from the coffee pot, usually clears it up in a couple days ....God bless...

Smaller is always better in my opinion..

Definitely ugly but you can make its nice lookin! The inside is already pretty good

👋🐴🇧🇪❤️🙏

I think you suposed to dig a deep hole an put the fire in there . Ok I never lived in a TP but it just an Idea.

you've probably answer this before sorry but what would you do if you were injured? Do you have a way to call people or will you be like Daniel Plainview and just drag yourself miles to the nearest settlement?

whered ya get the Tipi?

Get a rocket stove, they burn cleaner.

Hear me out, brush the teepee with fiberglass resin to make it a permanent tent
