-34F At My Remote Off Grid Log Cabin In The Wilderness

[@willow7412]

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

[@thenderson5509]

So peaceful. No boom boom stereos. No tuner car, trash can tail pipes. No loud ass Harleys with open pipes. Just mother nature. Wonderful!

So do I, but this video shows the amount of tedious work it takes to survive off the grid.

[@MLSPlatforms]

It amazes me that in all these cabin videos that they need to get birch to start a fire or cut and gather wood, the wood rack had 4-5 pieces in it . At our cabin the wood is stacked high inside. We normally clean stove when leaving an it only needs a match when we show up . The wood in winter is just outside door under cover,

[@barrymayson2492]

Just a thought maybe pack the battery box with polystyrene or something else to stop battery temp drop which decreasees the efficiency. I use that foam rubber mats you can get for workshop etc. Great video many thanks for your time.

Having spent my entire childhood in this type of scenario, No1 rule my dad use to pound into our heads, is always fill the wood box when you leave the cabin, bringing in wet frozen wood to heat for the weekend is not what you do...

[@scottt2012]

Greetings from a fellow Northlander. Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much we’re enjoying your video series. We have an off grid 40 in the same basic neck of the woods as you and seeing your winter videos are great inspiration for us. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Cheers!

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

The silence is so loud... It has been over 25 years since I last heard such silence. Everything around me grew and grew until it's now overcrowded and noisy all times of the day and night. What I wouldn't do to be able to experience such peaceful quiet again for a time, but, I have too many responsibilities to up and leave for the woods (nearest decent-sized woods to me is a good few hundred miles).

Kyle: put hot water in a small zip-lock bag, (like a hot water bottle), and run it over the glass on the solar panel, It will thaw instantly... works great on cars too...

[@johnlshilling1446]

Why not just cover the panels with any sort of tarp or plastic? (or turn them over?) You appear to haul the battery in and out each trip, so the panels aren't doing anything while you're gone, anyways.

[@UncaDave]

Missing Skeeter!!! If you bring your solar panels in before you leave when you come back you can immediately get good power from them being nice and clean. Of course the sun needs to be out. Keep an eye on mold too. Treat those logs and keep them clean when you can. Nice video Kyle.

[@thomasglynn2282]

I see a lot of these videos and having grown up in the mountains I enjoy them, reminds me of my youth. I do have a suggestion about dragging around your supplies. I work construction and use a safety harness daily, and would think it would be easy to hook your sled to a harness and just walk normally, allowing your arms to swing for greater momentum. Home depot has cheap harness and are adjustable for winter or summer wear. You could also use them for dragging wood, logs, your kill (hunter? )and normal supplies when you need to restock. I don't know how many times I have seen people dragging a sled with your arms constantly behind you. Just a suggestion, great video enjoy your solitude!

[@everready19373]

A decent set of surplus Army webbing and some sewing might work too.

[@mdsanders1574]

I had thought living off grid would be something I would do????? After seeing your frozen breath, the cold in the cabinet, you didn't even look warm in bed, I could never do this lifestyle. Boy, that changed my mine. It takes a certain minded individual for that way of living, not me. Love your videos, nothing but respect for you and your girlfriend and I will continue to watch your videos. Love your dog by the way. Keep it up, stay safe.

[@rembrandtshadows]

you could find somewhere a tad warmer . . . . . just sayin. Or live in an earth home.

[@richardbrewin4936]

If you live there full time then your cabin will always be warm , it’s the initial warming up, you will learn things you need to do ahead of time ,you should be able have a wood shed attached to cabin to access wood without going outside, Solar and wind for off grid , a Well and your all set

[@Farmer-bh3cg]

Minus 34 F is a bit drafty... Suggestion: A double heat shield bent 90 degrees for the corner in back of the stove. It would reflect heat back into the cabin. The doubled heat shield would serve as extra protection for the walls behind the stove and can be used to dry gloves, hats, socks and the like.

Solar panels increase their efficiency as temperature is lowered. As long as the light can reach the solar cells, they will deliver more power at lower temperature compared to high temperatures

[@Jackle61]

You should extend your flue pipe a couple of feet. The old spec is 2' above anything within 10' for the best burn and draw. Doesn't look like you have a problem, but if the wind picked up or was raining heavily that could change.

[@marthaadams8326]

Kyle, where is the star? (Skeeter - why do you ask?) I think you are an amazing young man. From where you came when I first started watching to now is so good. I love the organization in your cabin and the way you have made it all neat, but have what you need and outside, the change is amazing. To say that you have done a lot of work is an understatement. And, not only work, but it is so beautiful and cozy. Guess the star is with 'mommy' It is a little cold for him to be out - I have had a St Bernard who froze her paws and had to have them treated. And, it was not that cold.

[@MlSS.S]

@Martha - He probably did the smart thing and left the dog at home with his girlfriend. But if you're going to have a dog out in all that snow and bitter cold, it should be wearing doggy boots. If it is not a double- coated breed, it should be wearing a dog coat that adequately covers its entire back, chest and their tummy 🙂 (I hate to see those useless coats that provide no protection for the dogs vulnerable chest and tummy).

Now is the time to sled in anything heavy for the outbuilding cabin you were planning., especially if you can get a friend with a snowmobile to help haul stuff in.

[@johnlshilling1446]

Yep! Insulation and plastic for the rafters... a must! -- Unless you've got several free hours each day to dedicate to exercising --- cutting, hauling, splitting, stacking, covering.., just to uncover, haul indoors, start and keep a fire going strong --- compensating for 90% heat loss through your metal roof... Don't forget to go back outside and re-cover your wood pile! But! Don't worry about shoveling a path to the wood pile! You're making enough trips that you've already got a stomped ice-road wider and denser than the one to the outhouse!

[@laurieberg2880]

One time working in north eastern Alberta it was -49C. When you said something your words froze in mid air and fell on the ground. You had to shovel them up and thaw them on the stove to see what was said. If you didn't there would be nothing but a babbel out there in the spring.

At 9:06 there is a stack of wood near the stove. I think he did not try to seal the door by design. Ventilation may be a bigger concern than heat loss. I have a feeling that stove makes it more than warm enough. Do you know what the battery thing was he had outside?
