Remote cabin in the wilderness. Two years in the making.

Join me as I travel to a remote cabin in the wilderness to explore and discover different building ideas. I meet up with my old friend Wiley to take a tour of his cabin and homestead. If you would like to learn more about Wiley’s cabin, here is a link to his KZbin page.

Thanks for the visit, Karl. It was a fun weekend, you're welcome back anytime. Now we're going to have to meet up with J&J and hound them.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Any time! I had a blast. Thanks for the invite.

[@erikl1886]

The ash tongue and groove is gorgeous! He definitely has a talent! Love his channel.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Totally agree! I really like his cabin but I think that was my favorite thing. Thanks for watching.

[@Jim-op3kg]

Nice to see Wiley again I need to start watching his channel again. He is a down to earth fella!

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

He’s a great guy. It’s always fun to see what types of projects he is doing

[@Jim-op3kg]

[@troypayne3078]

Found you from Wiley’s channel. Subscribed to Wiley for 5 years and to Karl’s for 4 years. Both great people and great channels.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thank you so much for such a generous comment. We both really appreciate your support. It’s always a blessing to hear feedback like this.

[@markpro96]

Thanks for putting this vid together and a big thanks to Wiley for the tour! What a craftsman! I don't know what else to say. He has put a beautiful place together and has a great place to call a retirement home! Enjoyed, Thank you!

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thanks Mark. It was awesome to meet up with Wiley again. He is a great source of knowledge!!

[@avlisk]

I was going to hire a guy to put drywall on my loft ceiling. After seeing this video, I think I'll do wood boards just like Wiley did. Thanks.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Glad to help. I wish you could see it in person, the wood grain from the ash really pops it absolutely looks gorgeous

[@carolynberry5465]

Two of my favorites. It’s nice to see you together.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thank you!! I feel blessed to have made the trip

[@DebsWay]

Ah, yes, a chill in the air of a Minnesota Autumn day. Your friend has quite a nice-sized cabin.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

It sure is! I’m not sure if you remember Wiley, but he was in our original group when we all started KZbin.

[@DebsWay]

Was that back in the good, ol' days? LOLOLOL...By the way, look for a package coming via UPS later on this week...

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

[@dacabinguy]

Cool set up, Wiley's got it going on.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Right on brother!! It was awesome to visit with him, and he gave me if you helpful pointers for my cabin. I can’t wait to get back to work.

[@squirrellyacres]

That is a really fantastic looking cabin and his garden looks like it did great. When you were on his video of your visit, I was very impressed with how you explained everything, almost as if you were teaching a class.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thanks 👍 I love to share my knowledge with others. Thanks for your encouragement.

[@stephenstevens6573]

What a refreshing episode!! The intro was fantastic!! Nice to have friends you can rely on and you trust! Thsnk you, brother! God bless you and your family!

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Glad you enjoyed it!! It was great to get out and visit an old friend. I came up with a few cool ideas for a few projects. I want to complete at the cabin.

[@3hwoodworks]

Great Video!! Thanks for sharing your friendship!

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thank you you’re awesome!!

[@FordDude66]

It's a nice time of the year for a road trip. And the further you go north the better it is. It's nice to take a break after all your hard work on the shower house. It looks like Wiley as a really nice place. I'll check out his channel as I just subscribed to it. Have a great week my friend. Todd from da U.P.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thanks brother. You’re absolutely right. The further north I went the more beautiful it seemed to be. We are so blessed to live in the Midwest. There’s so much beauty up here, and we are blessed to see four different seasons of it. Say hi to the wife. Have an awesome week.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

He does have a awesome setup 🍻😎

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thank you, sir!! It is really nice

[@waynekomprood7093]

awesome interview. Was nice to see Wiley smile and kid around so much.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thanks 😊. The trip was well worth it, I definitely recharged my batteries and got some great advice

[@larrysmith6499]

Great video. Good to see both of you

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate you, Larry

[@CrabbyBill]

Enjoyed watching, great looking cabin

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thanks 👍 We’re glad you enjoyed it

[@ScottsLifeOffGrid]

I am in the middle of finishing and building on to a cabin I recently purchased. This video has given me many ideas and answered some questions. Thank you

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Glad it was helpful! We both appreciate the support. Good luck with your cabin!!

[@denisewilson8367]

Beautiful cabin, awesome cabinets. Two fences 5 feet apart prevent deer from figuring out how to get in the garden. Have no experience at all about bear so I have nothing to share.

[@ErichZachoutdoors]

Looking forward to shaking your hand one of these days brother! Thanks for your video and friendship!!

[@keithstorrs3936]

I have been busy Karl. But I did visit his channel and subscribed. I chuckled at the video he did on the laser. I built one a few years ago and it was more difficult then to get good results. I will tell you that if you laser print on sugar cookies for Christmas, it ruins the taste. Lol

[@dwtslots2925]

Love the video Karl!

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thanks 🙏 buddy!!

[@canajian]

🖐😎👍

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

😊 Thanks brother! I hope life is treating you a little better this week

[@jeannerountree952]

Hi Karl, I must have been missing your videos. How was your garden? I only got few tomatoes from my apartment plants. Jeanne from NB

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Welcome back! I was wondering if you were OK. Don’t feel bad my garden did horrible this year. Next year I’m going to heavily fertilize it and I think I’m going to switch over to just using rainwater to water it. The last couple of weeks I have been working on the shower house. We’ve got so much done in such a short time. It’s great to have you with us again
