I Survived a WINTER STORM While Building My Cabin

🇺🇸 provenhands.com - American Made Goods *Made by us
A winter snow storm hit the cabin the past week and dumped more than 8" of snow. Living in southern Alabama this is a rare experience and I wanted to take it all in. This week we work in the snow on the cabin, build walls, make campfires, cook over the coals, and camp * out up in the loft of the cabin.

I gotta hand it to you and Molly , you both are a beautiful couple and you have a beautiful little boy who's gonna have a wonderful life as he grows up !!!

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

Dylan that was the most interesting video, I’m 77 and remember the fun I had in my youth. I salute you for showing us what an out standing young man your are. Love seeing you sitting under the metal panels cooking your Tea then off to bed all while the snow was coming down. Love how you show the bits when you make a mistake like with the door post being a little short, some would just edit that out. Owen seems to love looking at the camera when Molly brings him on site bless him xx Thanks for another superb video. See you all soon xxx ❤️💙💙

[@billroberts3864]

Dillion and Molly, you will make many memories along with your son, when the cabin is completed and the ground is landscaped. You will talk about the cabin build for many years. Blessings to you folks.

[@Woodbrew]

It’s a blessing to have the opportunity to build this with my family and I can’t wait to make more memories in it✌️

[@lauravandien2363]

What a surprise to have snow. You’re already hanging out in the cabin, so you can tell that there are going to be many memories made. Owen sure is a cutie-nice to see him and Molly.

[@joannecanetti7481]

That little boy is absolutely adorable. Loved the hat. 😊

[@leahr.2620]

I am 67 years old raised by parents who loved to fish and camp, and cooking over the open fire would be fun to me also. 😊

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

I miss camping with my Dad. Somewhere by a lake that we fished all day. Sunglow on our faces. 😊 Miss it all

[@puddintame9989]

As one who lives in the mountains of north Idaho, your little skiff of snow doesn't seem like much, we sometimes get two feet of snow at a time (not often, but it is not a rarity either), however, for areas that are not used to it, I understand it can be rather crippling. I had to admire your fortitude to cook and "campout" in this snow storm. Loved seeing Molly helping you, she is gaining invaluable skills. I am glad that little Owen made an appearance (or two) as well, he is so precious. The cabin is coming along nicely, I am enjoying watching it take shape.

[@Woodbrew]

North Idaho is no joke. We had some structures collapse in our area from the snow load. This was around 2x the most recorded in history here.🥶 Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

[@deniseellenburg649]

Hi Buddy! Watching from Walker County south of Jasper! Excellent job on your cabin!!

[@ninabooker2904]

Your cabin, cowboy hat, snowy pine trees in the background look so picturesque. That’s a photo for the memory book. ❤ You probably noticed by now that snow cover makes everything more quiet, it’s muffles the sound, it’s very peaceful.

[@ifiwooddesigns]

That’s crazy! Snowing in southern Alabama. As a native NY’er and summer lover, if I never saw another flake, I wouldn’t miss it.

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Molly & Dylan, gosh little Owen is growing up fast...🙂 Wow working on the cabin whilst it is snowing... loved the camping out part... can see you both camping out with Owen as he gets older 🙂nz*

[@haunmade]

nothing better than sitting next to a campfire in the cold weather. and the snow just make everything so quiet; even more enjoyable!

[@scottmorris4914]

Wow, very eventful week. Really enjoy the videos. I have a hint to share, not building related. It has to do with sleeping out in the cold. Sleep in a plastic bag inside the sleeping bag. During the night you perspire, and if that humid air gets to the sleeping bag, the moisture will condense and it will get cold, losing some insulating capabilities. At least sleep with you feet in a bag, because your feet perspire a great deal. I have winter camped a good bit, even in 2 degree weather, and this has kept me warm.

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks Scott! I’ll keep that tip in mind next time I go camping👍

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Love this

[@delandbrooks3291]

I add a blanket to my bag so I can better insulate the under from whatever surface I'm sleeping on. An air mattress is going to be the same temp as the air so...

[@BPWhitman]

Growing up in the north, I’ve seen my share of snow. Watching the folks here in Northwest Tennessee , Jay Bates in Mississippi, y’all in south Alabama makes me smile. Making the best of it. Making memories. To quote my dad, who I miss greatly, “They can’t take this one away from us.” Documenting it along the way will make it even sweeter!! Love the content!! Keep it up!!

[@cheriefletcher803]

I was born in alaska and grew up in Washington and Idaho in a camper back in the 1960s and 1970s,.you would have loved it!!!

[@Woodbrew]

That sounds like an incredible time👌

[@chuckclark9464]

👍👍👍🫵 3 🪨 You have that portable power pack for the trailer you should’ve brought it up in the loft with a portable heater. This way you would’ve had heat all night long. You wouldn’t have to worry about the heat. Sincerely, Chuck.

[@blipoop1]

I was beginning to think Dylan had done something to annoy his wwife and sshe made him sleep outside until Molly made an appearance lol, I joke.

[@TheCareOfBear]

Alberta -43c, snowing and walking around outside with shorts on! Glad you got to enjoy some beautiful snow! God bless!

[@scottolsonrealtor]

Where I am up in Canada this would be considered a light snow, but I can understand how this would be a major snow dump for your area. I’ve been in your neck of the woods a few times and I love it.

[@abeerali7834]

Owen is so cute ❤ I can tell he’s going to be a deep thinker 🥰

[@susanquenneville2462]

You are “living the life “ many only dream of … fortunately you are also recording these memories to share with your beautiful son … its - 18 C here in Quebec today .

[@Woodbrew]

❤️❤️

[@rudyfisher7660]

Next, you need to build a fire pit app there a decent one with good rocks and stuff. Have a good round fire pit with some. You know, chairs. The rock seats around it or stump seats around it, or vlog seats around it, whatever

[@Woodbrew]

That's a great idea, we've been thinking about that too. The rock seating around a fire pit sounds awesome.

[@neil2809]

Its always GREAT seeing the three of you together

[@rudyfisher7660]

If you wanted to make it warmer, you can hang a tarp on the inside of that center section. And then that way it just keeps the loft. It's blocked off, and you can just crawl under the tarp, from the center section into the loft

[@Woodbrew]

Great tip✌️

[@robmilligan9157]

Best episode ever!

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Absolutely

[@sharonstaley2254]

Your family is so Beautiful

[@whitelilly35]

Blessings to your family. I especially love to see you prepare for future family memories. I can’t wait for the baby to grow up enough to see him do things with you. ❤️

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you so much!❤️❤️

[@danaowen9014]

I loved this video, owen looks so cute out in the snow, nice to see Molly as well.

[@kimbevan5614]

Beautiful work guys. Love to you 3 from the UK xx

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks so much!

[@darthgbc363]

It warmed up tp 34°F today. It was -24°F. Then it warmed up enough for it to snow. The snow you had is what we call just your normal Tuesday. Looks like fun. You should make a BIG long handle maul. Take a 2x2 for a handle & a 8x8 for the head.

[@SNESGuy-s3s]

You know mother nature's off her meds when there's no snow where I'm at in Canada and there's snow where you are!

[@Woodbrew]

😅 Wild times

[@onsapplikasies8620]

Blessings to your family

[@donaldarmstrong3657]

arm chair support here. You can use either zip ties, or plastic clamps on the sides, of the tarp, to attach ropes. At least 2 or 3. Then throw them over the top, to the other side, and pull each rope. the tarp will rise, till you ready to stop. Just nail the tarps to the studs. And do the other side. If using two tarps, then eyelets can be pulled at an angle, to keep the overlap from blowing away.

[@JoseSalazar-dm8bc]

Dillon, you handle those flour Tortillas and Burritos better than me. And, I’m Hispanic !

[@JustMe-s6s4m]

I hope you enjoy the snow. I wouldn't. I had enough of it as a kid in northern Indiana to last a life time! Nice memories, but I don't need it in reality anymore. Go ahead and let the kid in you out every now and then. It helps the rest become a better man.

[@annaromero6312]

You are a brave man working in the cold. I live in the San Antonio, TX area and we had a small amount of snow. No matter how much it’s always beautiful. I love your videos. 🥰💕

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks for watching!🙏 It sure is pretty seeing everything in the snow.

[@billrutledge2441]

Love how Owen knows to look directly at the camera!

[@David-Reed]

I live in Northwest IL, just about to the WI border. You received more snow than we have for the season. I'm disabled and old, I think you are much stronger and more able to handle it. You can keep our snowfalls, lol 😂 Although we did get down to -23 degrees for lows out of the storm. That's not including wind chill

[@Woodbrew]

Dang! That’s crazy. -23 you can just keep that no worries😅😅

[@kathyrussellrussell7114]

You are truly amazing, the detail you put into your work it just amazing, it's just perfection 👌 ❤👏👏

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mariocardamone1846]

holy smokes when snows in America it snows looks nice but were i live it never snows any how cheers from Australia

[@texasjustice1861]

Dillon, you are the example of what a Godly man should be. You support and encourage your wife to try new things and help her learn something new. You are a great Husband and father. Keep it up young man. also I got 4" of snow down around my house.... hated every bit of it. lol

[@Woodbrew]

✊✊ I sure appreciate your kind words. The lord is my shepherd🙏

[@texasjustice1861]

@@Woodbrew yes he is

[@regnepinak9864]

Dillon, Good video! I live in central Canada our coldest night this winter was in the range of -22F for about 3 days and nights not to mention the wind chill which is usually10 degrees colder. I agree with making sure you take care of your family and being ready if the power goes off. Looking forward to seeing the cabin going up! It sounds like you have plans for Owens upbringing, he'll be a happy boy!

[@iainwallace7358]

Excellent job capturing wonderful family experiences in a once-in-a-generation southern states snowfall. We were doing the same here in Texas.

[@pamelajones6243]

Go Molly girl!!

I would not have any problem at all doing that. I use too camp for two weeks in November in NYS TAKE CARE and STAY WELL

Very cool, I was wondering how you guy's were doing during this storm. Glad you had some fun and everything worked out well.

[@josannefromin7750]

Wonderful

[@anthony2816]

What a great episode! It had everything I subscribed for.

[@dfusit]

Owen in a snowsuit was so adorable.

[@darthgbc363]

I like having the big beams for the door. Makes a nice solid place to mount hinges & latch. I put three 2x4's together for both sides of the door frame in my shed & 4x4's horizontal at each hinge to the next 2x4.

[@randletibbs56]

I'm glad y'all finally got some snow down there instead of here in Montevallo this time😊

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

I wondered if you thought big windows would be great at both ends of the loft? And also if you checked the summer angle of the sun when determining the overhang? Or maybe this is mostly shaded in summer. I love the “ kids fort” approach to a snow storm. Great content.

[@101doreen]

Looking forward to the rest of the build.

[@Woodbrew]

✌️

[@ajjuney]

Cute family and project. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@davidmorsse5437]

Hey Dillon you have awesome content. If you want help with the cabin let me know. I will pack my truck up with tools and come down to help

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks so much man, appreciate the offer!

[@blakeclark9094]

That snowstorm was crazy. We got 8” of snow over in Mobile.

[@Woodbrew]

Yea, same we had about 8”! Cool to see you are so close to us. Small world.

Ivan is adorable. 🌟

[@barrychandler5250]

I am in South Georgia and we got the snow too!

[@Woodbrew]

It’s pretty crazy!

[@wolfpacva]

Batteries do not like the cold weather. They dont hold a charge as long as normal. Glad you got the snow for a change. Not a flake up here in Birmingham. Why did u sleep outside, was it so u could try and get a peaceful full nights sleep ? Your cabin looks great.

[@Woodbrew]

I’m weird like that I guess🤷 I just enjoy a cold night camping.

👌👌

I wish my house had been built with a tenth of the structure that Dylan is putting into the framing of this cabin. Then when the next California earthquake hits me, I could just sit back and laugh at it.

Love the video. But I would not camp out in the snow. I’m too spoiled by things like a kitchen, bed, toilet and warmth from a furnace.

I understand the fact that you wanted to stay out in the shed, but I think you should have been with your family.
