Building an Off-Grid Secret Cabin with No Power Tools!

I built a secret off-grid cabin deep in the lush Pacific forests without the use of any power tools! In this video, watch me spend 2 weeks alone in the wilderness building and assembling a beautiful dream cabin along a stream. This cabin features a water wheel, deck, viewing platform, and aesthetic look. Tune in next time for part two as I complete the build, setting up a hydroelectric system, furnishing the cabin, and detailing the exterior.

Let’s not forget, Everest is building this himself without power tools but, he must set up each snot, so he’s a carpenter, film maker, designer, painter and adventurer. Anything I missed?

[@rigatoniphoni8247]

Imagine just walking thru the Forrest and stumbling across this lol

[@benzapp1]

This dude is impressively artistically gifted. Painting, design, music...

[@Toltecgrl]

I agree.

[@denisecoffey6269]

This is the coolest thing! I have to admit when you started rolling back the moss with your bare hands all I could think about is spiders 😂😂 you did a great job

[@fluffykitten992]

Yep outdoor life wouldn’t be for me lol

[@denisecoffey6269]

@@fluffykitten992 I love love outdoor life just not spiders and snakes lol

[@AmyR713]

You’re amazing, Everest. Seriously can’t say enough good things about this video. You are so talented and determined. This looks like it could be in a Thomas Kinkade painting!

[@rainy3273]

A lot of hard work, materials and ingenuity went into constructing that shelter. Well done.

[@maz7031]

That place is stunning,its almost magical,and you are so talented and knowledgeable,well done ,can imagine just sitting in there listening to the water.

[@ozzygirl098]

You are a very talented young man. You will grow wise as you get older. That’s awesome!

[@HH-bz6qi]

Everest, have you ever seen the old documentary from the 60's called "Alone in the Wilderness" (Richard Proenneke) he would be proud of you!!

[@valeries929]

Absolutely stunning!!! YES - can't wait for Part 2! Well done!

[@Toltecgrl]

Oh my gosh!!!!! That’s incredible. If you were my son, I would be over there helping. That would be so much fun!! 🤗🤗😅 You are so gifted in lots of stuff!!!

[@AbdulWahab-tq2zt]

Good to see you back ! ❤️‍🔥👍 Huge fan of Content and your videography , Keep it up and please don't make us wait for 30 days for your videos .. Thank you ♥️

[@ShawnaLynnn]

I haven’t seen any of your videos for 3 months and all this time I thought you were on a trip or taking a break. Then today I typed in your name and I’ve got 4 or 5 videos to watch. I wasn’t even subbed to you anymore. I wish someone had a good sight giving YT a run for their money and then I wish all my favorite creators were there. Anyway I’m glad to have found you again! I hope all is well with you! 🤟🏽

[@andredyton8648]

Well now I know why I had to wait so long for an upload. Job well done my friend and worth the wait

[@robhonzellsr5714]

What scenery. Goodness. How beautiful.

[@LilyBecca]

This is fantastic! I love the way it blends in with nature, it's truly remarkable. You are amazingly talented!

[@Liofa73]

Let's hope that stream doesn't become a torrent in heavy rain or during the spring snow-melt (*edit - let's hope it doesn't get any worse than that).

[@TravelersTale]

That storm was insane, could theoretically get worse than that but probably not for a few years.

[@saltyrice821]

If you look at the trace of water probably not too high on a regular basis. Perhaps only happened if there's abnormal weather and it won't last long

[@lindafett1826]

Everest, wow😊your video's surprise me each time. Keep the video's coming😊

[@delibakerytravel]

Great To See You Again. Snow Hopefully Is Around The Corner here In California. I Am Not Sure You Can Top Last Winters Videos, They Were Fabulous!!!

[@davejordan3131]

You’re amazing you literally are an incredible person who seems to be determined to make wonderful things at the drop of a hat . Your an inspiration to many people keep up the amazing videos you’ve reached me in the uk 🇬🇧 and probably more countries besides love your channel ❤️👨‍❤️‍👨

[@jori7398]

Really enjoy seeing that you’re also an artist!

[@JoieMaclan]

That's amazing! Can't wait for part 2!

[@candiceyoung8244]

What a beautiful little csbin. That would be perfect for myself. I think it would be a wonderful thing to go around the country and get a ceee together and build some for the elderly and disabled. That would be a blessing. Thank you ❤

[@Mia_Ojeda]

So adorable

[@Vaeist08]

Love this!

[@mariannesyrett7759]

[@wendyshick6689]

Wow you did an excellent job on that cabin build very beautiful around there you are a true artist looking forward to part 2😊👍

[@jasonandstephaniewise5068]

Oh my I love that I would live there it’s so beautiful.

[@tiah1967]

Omggggg…. Amazing job! I love learning how to do things especially using nature. Can’t wait for the next video, soooo ready for snow 😊😊🤭

[@dma9646]

Question: Will the flow of the stream increase greatly with spring snow melt? I'd be nervous the stream could washout it's banks and endanger you're cabin.

[@leannecuster1490]

That costed$$$$$$Lots of work for sure also.Awesome job.That location is epic to boot.

[@CharliesPurpose]

500 bucks

[@luciannasoucy5015]

You're so Talented!! That's alot of work and you should be so proud ❤

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

First of all, Your back!!!!!! I am so freeeeakin happy to see you Everest! Yaaaaay! You were missed! And 2, I am jealous. That is some serious building creativity and knowledge. What a cabin! Beautiful, amazing I loved it! Can't wait for part 2! It's good to see you Everest.💚🤍💜🤍💚🤍💜🤍💚🤍💜🤍💜🤍🙌🏻

[@quitoskyt6619]

Daring and Wild but Magnificently made! 😊

[@mariomamede4802]

that cabin..so nice...but it'll be washed away in a big flood...

[@Hit_the_Trail]

Big fan of all your content - Cool video! Not a huge fan of the no talking though. It’s nice to know what your thoughts were/are and your decision making processes. The woodland ambience was great but missed hearing you and your take on things.

[@TravelersTale]

Just trying to mix it up a bit. Thanks for watching!

[@ecaryn.]

I enjoy this style very much! It's a cinematic experience sharing the solitude of his sojourn. This is the reality and appeal of one's trek into the wilderness. Fantastic work Everest!

[@justinecoduco7725]

It looks beautiful the water spring 🥰❤️

[@MamaRhymz]

It is so cool! Can’t wait to see part 2 and 3 and more!!!

[@toprock9500]

man i see what u meant about carrying in all that heavy ply and roofing! But dam boy the results are totally worth it. job well done Everest

[@antbarton6763]

Amazingly talented and cannot wait to see the next part 🫶

[@chanthalong4442]

Very impressive, you are absolutely amazing

[@jeanalicea7256]

Finally, a video! I was so concerned because I was on the watch for your video, and it's been a while since your last one. I was hoping you were ok, and well, you were just working your butt off, lol. Are you an engineer or a carpenter for a living?Mom and I say your IQ must be through the roof because you're so smart and so talented. We can't wait for part 2. Please don't make us wait too long..lol we love your videos the most. Stay safe ❤❤

[@nicabla9435]

this is so cool. but what about that river flooding really close

[@Tuilaione]

Smartest Cabin builder... Great project

[@TheMossey2003]

I love that little home🥰💜 How did you get all that stuff to that location? Was it helicopter there? Just wondering 🤔 I remember the reels it had telephone cable on it, I use to load 18 wheelers with them and the metal reels. What are you going to see inside please I want part 2 or 3🙏

[@allegrosotto2126]

I love the challenges you set yourself 👍

[@pattirogers1205]

You do such crazy, amazing things Everest. Thanks so much for sharing. Your videos are always beautiful!!!!

[@philipplouden5892]

Wow. Incredible building that on your own.

[@XPLRNW]

Awesome adventure, brother… cool build! 🌲🌲🌲🤙🏼

[@sondabell3266]

This looks great...but I'm curious about permissions? Are you allowed to do this if you don't own the land?

[@Therealgirlinthedesert]

Exactly my thoughts. I’m shocked more aren’t asking him this.

[@TravelersTale]

It’s a cabin for public use

[@lindametcalf9169]

Excellent work and determination! 😊

[@jeffhensley9988]

Everest, i personally think you did an outstanding job! Well done! Considering you did everything by yourself, you did amazing! Ignore the negative comments. There will always be those who'll try to rob you of your joy. Something to always remember: With God, all things are possible. Can't wait for part two! God Bless you and yours. 😊

[@wheelerthugs]

Brooooo! I I taught you're just a camper van guy, but you're so much more I loved your nice work.❤🎉 Anyways love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫.

[@MrWildNature]

wauwwwww very very nice...

[@rostislavgerman89]

Looks amazing. Such a talent

[@moosha6074]

Can you do a new Q&A for new viewers like myself? Id love to do this lifestyle. For instance how did you get started on your travels? What are pros and cons based off your current experience? What did you least expect about the vanlife? Did you save up money to start traveling? How do you earn an income to pay for your travels (aside from KZbin)? What future plans do you have? What does your family think of this? Do they support you? What places do you really want to visit one day? I have so many questions 😊

[@TravelersTale]

I will! You can also dm me on Instagram anytime

[@EVGuiller]

Absolutely love it! Good job!!!

[@nooraishah3039]

The forest looks magical. Watching from somewhere in the Borneo

[@LilyBecca]

Where is part 2 with the bike parts turning the water wheel into a power generator? I'm dying to see how you do that!!

[@SchmutzieOutdoors]

Absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to see the wheel in action.

[@cherylsummers1770]

Simply Amazing! Love It. 🤗❤️

[@Chillaxing113]

WOW! Absolutely amazing! I'd love staying in that for just a night. As long as the river doesn't rise. New ladder? 9:25 Still has the tag on it. 😆 I noticed you didn't have the ladder locked 10:20. Make sure you lock it before you get on it.

[@TravelersTale]

Yeah I don’t exactly carry one around in the van 😂

[@kimmberlie573]

Well done Everest. Your talented beyond your years. Thanks for another incredible video.

[@HALLITANNUSNM]

Not a bad start. Blessings! 👍👍👍👍👏

[@timebong8366]

Just wait until the rainy season and flooding, putting it that close to the water😂😂😂

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes and it looks amazing can’t wait for part 2 you are awesome !

[@pinkmagiclala]

You are extremely skilled and talented. This was fascinating to me.

[@jimheslehurst4382]

Wow - just wow!

[@johnsanders2646]

Of course you did. I will admit I’m impressed.

[@mrsplumbridge4888]

I just can't wait for the other parts 😊 fantastic!!!

[@JacQui-nice2meetU]

WoW! Truly incredible, I'm definitely impressed 😊

[@leannecuster1490]

Reminds me of a tv stargate the knox people they had like the natural coverings on thier dwellings.Moss is good camo

[@JohnSmith-b4b]

Amazing! What a talented young man you are....such imagination and artistic talent to put that together

[@martyf8484]

Great work my friend. Have watched many many of your videos. Love them all. About this one, hard work always beats talent. You put in a lot of hard work to build that structure. I've been in the construction business 17+ years, and sad to say I don't think it'll last the First full snow winter nor the flood zone in the spring. I would love to see a video next year Springtime to see if the structure survived. Hopefully you'll be honest and go back there and record to see what happened. I hope you will prove me wrong.

[@_autom]

great video, build and location. moss is the outstanding thing for me here, so abundant, organic and aesthetically harmonious with eveything around it

[@michaelmorrow6853]

That was a very well thought out video . Both with content along with format ..loved it

[@tomg_2]

I’m using the sounds in this vid for white noise 😆 it’s great.

[@maenicolas2377]

Your videos are far in between. I love you videos that's why I patiently wait for the next.

[@carlasmith5165]

Been wondering where you were baby. You have been rather productive! Good job sweetheart.

[@kiyo6262]

Great job 👍, looking forward to part 2 😊👍.

[@XenoVI]

Great lil build I bet you feel awesome, but you gotta reinforce that roof a lil better come snow time I feel it might collapse and ruin your hard work...

[@TravelersTale]

Spent a few days just reinforcing and adding to the structure, but I only filmed some of it. It’s quite strong now

[@AnayaMinhas-ox6xe]

Hard work❤❤❤❤

[@Tzvhon]

Ur editing is amazing ❤

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Looks great and I'm impressed with what you put into it but your vertical ground support logs are terribly rickety.

[@moosha6074]

This is INCREDIBLE. This video deserves millions of views! We can all learn from Everest - put down the phones and go out into nature and create something beautiful. It must feel so amazing 😊 can't wait for part 2!

[@zoranmilenkovic9773]

Excellent video, 👏👏👏

[@Izmawan]

Very good video

[@marycartella6258]

What a cool cabin! 🙂🙃🙂

[@jimlingmusicchannel]

Great job man! You are a lot stronger than you look!
