Simple space saving off grid cabin Kitchen 

You are fantastic. I am only 77 yr young and I keep my dreams with all of you. Off-grid for the future for me. I just love to watch you'all work. Make my days continue.

If you offered a summer camp for grown ups I would definitely come to earn some building and off grid merit badges! Your place is so nice and well thought out! Nice job all around 👍🏼

A camping hack I use at home for quick dishwashing is: A spray bottle with dish soap/water -- I wet my sponge and spray the dish and easily clean it, you can also use a spray bottle with your hot water to rinse. I use an empty glass vinegar bottle with a sprayer from a used bottle. It is ever so handy - can use to clean my stove top also. Loved the video - always look forward to watching your projects.

Who woulda thought the hardest part of the kitchen build would be finding a drain stopper that fits? This project is great.

Every time i see you or Dave put out a video, it helps me get through the problems I am having with my marriage, if only for a half hour or so.

I have been watching Dave and Brooke's channels for several years now. Plus now watching their kids as well. I heard them talking about you so I thought why not. I am enjoying watching.

Great job on a genius and beautiful sink/stove build! Love that you share the mistakes as well as the fixes! An idea on doing dishes-maybe clean the largest item first (your pan), then use IT as a vessel to hold the soapy water, wash all the items and set them in the sink, then rinse all (including the pan) at one time in the sink.

They're NEVER spoiled, you're just well trained. Lol. What an awesome lil kitchen.

That stove is beautiful. The sink on rollers... genius. Great job, Ryan.

PVC on/off valve under the drain instead of a plug, and then a flexi tube into bucket so you don't have to move the bucket a lot. Also a shelf above and to the side of the sink with a 5 gal water tank with flexi tube for rinsing and drinking water. Thanks for the ideas. Small kitchens are tough. Looks great.

"Use what you have" is my motto too! :D Nice build. You put screen over the insulation??? Brilliant! Thank you! Shallow plastic bucket (like the hospital kind) to rinse your dishes. It can live in the sink when not in use. Towel rack on the left side of the cabinet and or a fold-up shelf for more counter space.

I have the utmost respect for anyone working with wood….love it all! Ingenuity and resourcefulness at their best!😊

I'd recommend a rubber stopper for the sink (you really can't go wrong with those). For rinsing it might be good to use one of those plastic rinse bottles with the narrow tip like they use to irrigate wounds or rinse beakers down. It's simple, portable, and wouldn't use tons of water.

I would add a slide out for bucket that is connected to the slide out for sink is the only change I would make. Great design thanks for the inspiration.

I know it sounds crazy, but it was good to see that mistakes can be made and fixed so well that they don't matter at all. Your kitchen is great!! Happy camping!

First off you have done a fantastic job! Well done👍🏻 My advice is to get one of those kitchen faucets from rv kitchen sinks. They somehow bend down towards the sink when not in use. That way you can close the drawer that holds the sink. 👍

I'm in a camper van and I love spray bottles and the weed sprayer with garden hose head for rinsing dishes. Love the tiny cabin.

Use a plastic container to hold the soap water that is about 1/3 the size of the sink. Use your cloth to clean the dishes with the soapy water. Then, rinse on the 2/3 side of the sink where the drain is. I do this even in my home sink. Loved the video!

Ryan love your work. I use a 12 dollar usb powered rechargeable water pump while camping in one of the blue water jugs you have. that might work for your sink also but it does take counter space. those are not spoiled dogs. They are happy dogs and happy dogs make happy companions.

Sweet build, Ryan. Way to show it all put to use. Keep spoiling those hounds!

Two for one ! A carpentry and cooking show for the price of one 😃. You can’t beat that. Excellent video editing and commentary. Thanks for the very enjoyable video.

Nice little build

Really enjoyed this video. It gave me lots of ideas. Amazon sells the rechargeable shower with a hose nozzle that you can turn off and on. You could place it into a collapsible bucket with clean water for rinsing and could be used as an outdoor shower if needed. Duel purpose item.

Nothing like one of your videos on a Saturday night view! Awesome work! I can actually see myself living full time in something like this! May have to lose the wife though 😂

What a great job you did on the kitchen.use a basin for the rinse water. Ideally one that could store in the sink when not in use.

The cabin looks wonderful. Your idea for the sink is great. It does save lots of space for food preparation. Good job!!

I've always used the serving trays you see at cafeterias to do my dishes on camping trips. One to wash one for rinse, you can get them online used pretty cheap.

Greetings from Russia. Great house. Why don't you use electricity for heating? It is clear that there is a forest around, there is a lot of firewood, but electricity is easier. In addition, the stove takes up space, and you can’t put anything next to it. You can also use an electric stove and oven instead of a gas cylinder. About windows, you can use multi-chamber windows with two or three glasses for better heat conservation. Well done, hello dog, good luck!😊

Love this. Drawer under the stove for pot, pan, utensil and dish rag. Pull out sink is great for me. Mobility problems so I have a small stool for cooking and dish washing. And you still have a good area for prep.

Ahh very cool! I had built the same sink design but never put it to use because I wanted to have the drain hooked up somehow to movable plumbing. This may reinspire me lol. Thanks for sharing, James & Kitties

I have that same stove/oven in my trailer...to help cook more even temp, I use a rectangle pizza stone and a oven thermometer...on the stove top, don't put the glass top down till the urner area is cold...have read that people have had a problem with it shattering...great kitchen build...great channel.

Awesome work this would work perfectly in my bus build considering it’s a small space to work with. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

Love this channel. Just practical , frugal innovation. Three burners is really all you need . And dogs...

I totally love the sink under counter idea! I'll be redesigning kitchen in my bus and so badly want lots of counter space, which is hard to accomplish in smaller kitchens like one in my bus. Thank you so much for the idea!

I love your little cabin it's so cosy and one of my favourites, I always look forward to watching your projects and how they turn out very clever ideas.

That turned out really nice. Love the pull-out sink. Thanks for sharing

I am looking forward to seeing your new kitchen! And the U.P. SNOW!

It’s not just your skill I enjoy watching but how you problem solve little “errors “ and your overall philosophy 👍

Thanks Ryan. enjoy seeing your workmanship and I'm always learning something from your projects.

Just found your site. Love it! Hubby and I are in planning stage of building our camp post and this is a great vid with your other ones to help in planning. Thank you

The type of video that makes you want to live on a frontier, great stuff!

I live off grid in a 10 by 20 shed Amish building and I use a weed sprayer to rinse my dishes.. it's just a 1 gallon from harbor freight that I adapted the hose on to take a kitchen sprayer rinse nozzle on it.. Your pump up the pressure and it's great for rinsing and for taking off-grid showers although I do have a 4 gallon that I use for taking showers.. I just keep the one gallon sprayer in the bucket underneath my sink when not in use because I always empty my bucket underneath the sink after I do dishes I don't want any of those nasty smells

Electrician here. If you still wanted to use that receptacle, you probably could use a power strip; just place it on the outside of the cabinet and drill a big enough hole so the cord can go inside. Given what I've seen you do so far, I know you have the skill to wire the cord direct, that is if you want to keep that receptacle closed off. Just make sure you have a blank cover with a drilled opening just big enough for the cord to fit through (or have a black plastic connecter punched through the hole to seal the opening a bit more). It's a bit Jerry-rigged, but it's still safe. If you're worried about water from the bucket, you can further shield the back of the cabinet with a cheap plastic sheet against the wall or a foam mat. Just something to think about if you really need that receptacle.

Love watching the progress on your little getaway cabin and the efficient kitchenette is a great idea. I grew up camping the old style way, canvas cabin tent, sleeping bags on the ground and outhouses. It was uncommon to have electricity at the campsite. My mother would carry two plastic tubs for dishwashing, one fit inside the other. She used one for washing the other for rinse. If you use a bio-friendly soap, the water can be tossed into the shrubbery. Even when I eventually got a popup camper with a sink, I preferred to wash dishes in the same manner outside rather than inside. Simple but effective.

Great addition to the cabin. Perhaps a towel bar on the side of the cabnet next to the wood stove to dry towels and dish cloths. Also maybe rub wax over the base of the drawer that slides under the cook stove. It will pull out and push in evenly. We always enjoy your content. Thank you!

What an ingenious mini kitchen! A very comfy home away from home.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your calm talking and the very low gentle music in the background were relaxing. You did a fine job, you're a creative and skilled man. God bless and ty for the upload. I will come again as it was well worth the time..

That turned out fantastic! You always do the coolest projects. Todd from da U.P.

Another fine job ! You are able to make what you need from what you have...Bravo ...such good information for the rest of us ! Thank you ! May you and yours be safe , well and warm !

This was relaxing to watch, and I learned something.

What a great addition to your cabin. Living simply doesn't always mean you have to go without a few creature comforts. As for rinsing off the dishes, I have a half gallon pump up spray bottle that I purchased from a garden store, it has an adjustage nozzle that can be turned down to a fine mist spray, and I find this absolutely perfect for washing off the soapy suds without using lots of water. Many thanks David in the UK

It is a great pleasureto watch your videos... I hope to be doing similar soon!! Great jod on the kitchen!!! Thanks again and looing forward to your next video!!!

That was awesome! I very much enjoyed. Thanks for taking us along.

Great looking build! Like always. Thank you

I would use a plastic dish tub to rinse the dishes. And nice job on making everything

It’s a great project,I can see myself using pallet wood for this as well as utilizing my kreg jig and backing it with the 3/8 bead border plywood I have on hand,and an oven with 4 burners from a camp trailer!

What a great cabinet and awesome idea for the sink.

Dude you gave me my kitchen!!! I'm in an tiny off grid cabin full time and need countertops YEA!!!!!

Always good to see a quality build and the way you show the steps of it start to finish Thx Ryan for another great video keep em coming !!!!!!

Brilliant work again! thank you!

Very cool. Great video and build. Editing is great too. JIm

the hideaway sink is genius! Hubby and I are building a tiny home this coming summer, and I think I might do something like this for us too ... Thanks for sharing with us!

A fun little project, nice work. Thanks for the video, looking forward to the next!

This is awesome! I love how nice and compact this is , just a great job

I've been following all of you. For quite awhile. Love your content.

That turned out to be a really nice little kitchen. Great job!!

another outstanding addition to the cabin. Gob Bless

I love your sink and cabinet so cool

That is the sweetest little kitchenette I have ever seen. Gratz on a job well done.

That’s an awesome setup. I hope to do something similar..thx for the video

Really nice video. Great Job!

Left a comment earlier. Love the video. Looks like a fun project that'll pay off over and over. God bless

Very enjoyable video!

very nice job! cabin looks great👍👍

Love your little cabin and that cabinet/stove/sink is awesome. You did great!!! And the man cleans the whole cook top! Wow, my kinda clean!!!

To rinse dishes, a collapsible dishpan can collect the clean, soapy dishes, then you can either pour the rinse water down the drain when done (or keep it for the next wash, adding boiling water and additional soap when you're ready to wash the next load of dishes).

I think your pull out sink is brilliant!

Could get a plastic dish tub for camping to hot water in to rinse the dishes. Once you've dumped it, it should fit neatly in your sink for storage.

I really liked this project and you gave me ideas for shop cabinets I want to build. Oh yes, you reinforced my keeping wood scraps until they are tiny pieces. They ALWAYS come in handy for other projects!

great project nice sink idea

🌷Get a metal dish pan dish water can be heated on the wood stove or kept warm there, works good. Grandfather lived 45 years like that.😊

Fantastic build Ryan!! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻

A Hammer! nobody uses a hammer anymore! LOL nice job.

Very nice Ryan !

love the size of the kitchenette and that sink!

Suggestion for rinsing and drying dishes: you can buy a dish drying rack that typically sits on the counter beside the sink, then get the plastic mat that goes underneath for run-off water into the sink. You can use both to then rinse and dry the dishes. Additionally, if you get a stainless steel drying rack, you could probably move the dishes to ontop of the stove for a fast dry-heat drying :)

I recently bought 9 acres of raw land a stones throw from Lake Ontario. Looking forward to building my own off grid cabin. I love your ideas for space saving yet functional projects. Nice job 👍

Lovely Kitchenette! Love the roll-out sink! Just an FYI, Teflon tape not advised on flare gas fittings. Keep up the great work & videos! I love watching them.

Love it !!❤ thanks

Great Job!? Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!

Always interesting watching you construct something It's a lovely cabinet looks super, Love that stove

I like your cabin. Very nice attention to detail. Not messy or haphazard things in the corner. Peace Love Happiness

Footpumps? There is only one answer to that; The Whale Gusher III made over in the UK... top quality boating stuff...

I have a garden pump type sprayer I use for camp kitchen duties and it is awesome.

Excellent work and video 💪 Very useful for my future build. Much appreciated

Great video. Just a fyi on your gas fittings. Tape is not used for any flared fitting. The part that came out of your stove and the part the flex line attaches to seals on the end of it, not the threads. Pipe tape just makes it harder to get tight. If the pipe is just threads without the flange at the tip then it needs tape. Yours probably wont leak, but just information for the future.

Top-notch install!

You do great work!

Great idea on the slide out sink.

Water in a large plastic spray bottle would rinse your dishes. A simple over sized bath tub plug would fix that sink issue. Dollar stores sell those in packs of 3 ..with each plug top being a different diameter yet the stopper that fits in the drain hole is the same size on all 3.
