Off Grid Cabin Life: -35F Cold Winter Weather, Building Wood Bins

[@rickhager7978]

Hickies and Hitting The Sauce. Brings me back to my youth in the 70's. I love how Skeeter always has to help. Love the channel.

[@tungtung898]

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

[@gannelli]

Jealous, keep livin the dream my friends! Love watching you guys!!!!!!

[@Kanoist]

Same here.....:)

[@alanwrobleski]

Hug skeeter close man, i just lost my dog who i had for so long it's hard to remember what life was like without him. Skeeter really completes your family

[@KYLESCABIN]

Sorry to hear about your loss buddy. I don’t take a second with Skeeter for granted. Time goes by fast and it’s too bad dogs only live a short time. They deserve more.

[@andysfreshorganicmicrogree2090]

My beloved Grizzly Bear passed away peacefully and comfortably in my arms on November 18th after 14 Long happy years. . I feel your pain brother I am very sorry for your loss . We will always love and miss our fur babies with all our hearts. 🙏💐🌄

[@richardsmith6738]

I don't comment much but I had to just let you know I think you are a stand up young man and your father must be a very proud man.Keep the vids coming please

[@rebeccapratt3089]

You are a special young man,please don't let the world change you,the way you meet your goals& take care of your lady,dog shows one goodman,I've been around fireplaces all my life & that one is very nice

[@russellzigler2180]

Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them. And a lot of times I learned some. I'm just amazed at how much you can do. Definitely a jack of all trades. Love watching Skeeter he's a cool dog .

[@Rick-ko5sj]

True dog lover when you dig out to recover his toy

[@maltipoosoffgrid6868]

It's nice to see someone esle offgrid on KZbin. We are offgrid in Tennessee for 10 years still learning everyday

[@mem7048]

Just a thought, but, if the wood shed was closer to the house you could make an insulated hatch on the outside of the house and an enclosed bench on the inside that you could fill with wood directly from the wood shed. This would give you an extra seating space, or even a reading nook with a few days supply of wood underneath the top of it.

[@robertnachtsheim3594]

Thanks for making the extra effort for the little ladies. I'm certain they appreciate it.

[@reenajones8257]

I love the way you treat your chickens Kyle it’s really nice that you’ve taken them in the winter time when it’s that cold Have a nice day all three of you hugs

[@carolinawoods-n-water4392]

It’s always a joy to watch your content! In such a negative & crazy world, it’s awesome to get away from it , watch your projects & listen to a young guy who has a positive attitude in everything.

[@thedjc100]

This.

[@Scooter23456]

100% agree!!

[@jek3479]

You have for yourself a very good burn.....a great way to relieve some of the itch, pain and discomfort is to take 1 to 2 egg whites, froth them up a little and apply directly to the burn and let it dry...works wonders! I love your videos....keep them coming!

[@jeneaneherzog4626]

Nasty burn but coulda been worse! Friend of mine stoked the wood burner in the middle of the night..... naked... burnt the tip... ya.... neck aint so bad dude!😂😂😂

[@lynnbroadhurst8533]

You have a big heart, Kyle. Love your videos!

[@stevecascaden6345]

That is a very nice touch for storage of your fire wood inside. Looks great and will look even better after Cierra gets done with it. As for your boo boo, if that's the worst it gets, you're doing good. Thanks for another great video.

[@orionfixr7713]

If it don't kill ya', it only serves to make you tougher . And maybe a little smarter too . LOL

[@MorrowFamilyVlog]

The hubs and I really enjoy yours and Cierra's channel. It is actually super relaxing! Living vicariously through yall! What a blessing to be away from the rest of the world and enjoy God's creation! Skeeter is adorable, too. You are very talented and have definitely found your niche! Keep em coming!

[@tinaeldridge3802]

I love the way you look after yours chicks, and I hope your neck heals well soon. Take Care & Stay Safe, Hugs UK

[@lindacox8156]

Love how you can just design things in your head and then build them and Everything you build is AWESOME!! Great shelves for the wood!!

[@brentjahnz4783]

Enjoy watching all your videos. For many years I enjoyed the area 25 miles north of Orr in a cabin 10 X 24 5 miles out in the woods. So many memories of that paradise. I enjoy your enthusiasm for what you are doing.

[@marilynmeade2286]

Great video Love shelf for your wood and kindling Your girls are looking good and still laying eggs in the cold Skeeter and Cierra are looking nice and staying warm Take care Kyle See you all in next video

[@TaylorZ2]

Skeeter is so damn cute, I love how he prances around. Kyle you're a good cook, among all your other accolades.

[@richardliles4415]

Enjoyed your latest video, thank you.

[@tyanne9868]

Awww ciera is so lucky to have you

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

And maybe on decent days you could still haul in a load and save the stuff in your bin you made, for really bad snowy stormy days🤔🤔. Thanks for sharing your awesome videos Kyle. 🍻🥂 here’s a couple of beers and a couple of glasses of wine for you and your wonderful wife !! 😜🙂🙃

[@suepalmer9044]

I love the wood box and i love how you take good care of the girls. Keep up the good work.

[@MsHomesteader]

Sorry about your burn, once it is scabbed over if you use Comfrey salve on it, it will keep the scarring down. You are so talented; my husband is like you can think of something and then build it and nobody would know he just sort of threw it together. Love that you brought your hens inside, they have a great home. We are in MT and had -42F windchills with ambient air of -34F and we were always so glad to come back into a warm house.

[@a.phillips6892]

Aaawww, sorry about burning your neck! So cool to watch the building of the wood containment apparatus! Looks great! Stay warm!

[@dangoodall-williams4200]

I'm glad you can tolerate the cold cuz that's really cold! Nice storage for the wood. You're right, 60 more days and things will get warmer! Stay safe, warm, and look forward to more.

[@charruza]

The wood bin looks great for being something made "on the fly". That -35 makes me appreciate our 9 degrees lol

[@angelacartmel7577]

I just knew those chickens would have been having another warm holiday lol . That wood bin looks beautiful all full and inviting . Skeeter makes me chuckle just sat out in the cold ignoring the calls to come in , I think he must be related to my Moo Moo , who has the habit of doing that when we are having a downpour of rain the lunatic. Hope the burn heals quickly for yiu it looks sore , and lovely to see Cierra back x

[@markhenderson6198]

Keep surviving, you have an awesome place! Love how you take care of your animals.

[@MrBrickboy38]

Been burning wood for most of my life and just in the last couple years i put in a pellet stove. Hasn’t been a winter that I haven’t given myself a burn or two. I have always kept a aloe vera plant just for that reason. Definitely helps with the healing

[@marianfrances4959]

Unreal amount of snow! Hang in there! Love the wood cabinet! 👍🔥🐾🌲📷🇨🇦

[@JMAGvids]

Your craftsmen skills are impressive Kyle. Motivational, even.

[@barbarasnookolderandwiser]

Yum. Breakfast at Kyle's cabin! Great job on the wood rack.

[@suepeterson5675]

Looks like the burn hurt “ouch”. Your girls left you a gift for taking such good care of them. Skeeter say “ come on just play with me it’s not that cold” . Ohh yum , great tasting scramble. Take care Be safe. 👍👍😊

[@GM-gt6rn]

Wood storage looks great. Sorry to hear of that burn. Looked like good meal too.

[@venturewithmee8642]

I live in Alaska and we were at -38 degrees fahrenheit last week too. You guys really should save up for a catalytic wood burning stove. It'll save so much time and wood. We fill the stove before we go to bed and then get up around 4 am to refill it until mid-morning. When the temperatures warm up to around -10, we don't even get up during the night. We love our stove. It's called the Blaze King Princess. We live in a 550 square foot cabin and we stay toasty warm. We do have a fan now that we have electricity on our property and that helps keep our lower cabinets from freezing our food stash.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

The wood bin looks great. Love the way you care for your chickens in the cold. Thanks.

[@dianehereshko2051]

Thank you for sharing this. I absolutely love it. I feel like I'm there. So beautiful and a simple happy life.

[@edwardbusby9402]

Kyle when you get a burn next time real quick coat it with MUSTARD and the burn will leave in a minute or so . It also helps to not scar bad

[@reddyman6915]

Hot English Mustard ? 😂

[@drjcwardjr]

Nice wood bin…looks good and very functional!👍😎

[@JasonForget]

Having the ability to store firewood neatly near the woodstove is essential. Cleaning up after it is a never ending chore. Want to "refresh" your broom and make sweeping easier? Cut off those stray bristles. It'll work like new and you'll stop flicking stuff around the floor as you sweep.

[@pattisaunders7386]

Can't believe it was-37 brrrrrr. Great job on wood cabinet. Stay well. Love your videos.

[@mikemcgown6362]

Oh, I understand the cold snap you're experiencing! I'm also in northern Minnesota. Been fighting damn ice dams on our house. Whoever built this house didn't insulate it right. We stay warm, but so does the roof! You're having the mustache frost just like me. Your firewood stacker is a neat touch. Instead of a fireplace under the mantle, you have your firewood supply! Skeeter does the same thing my dog does, has to be right there with me but doesn't help at all! LoL! Thanks for sharing your experience and story with us! You're doing a great job with your homestead! Well planned out and prepared for the winter! Nice to see you cooking with the cast iron skillet. Good healthy meal for you guys! Great job!

[@ACO-Amy]

Great way to store the firewood inside. Your neck looks painful, but healing well. Skeeter knew where his ball was, help dad! LOL

[@randycornell9796]

Burns are no joke,hope it doesn't hurt to much!! Wood storage bin looks great, nice job!! Stay safe and warm.🤓👍🤓👍Randy.

[@richardfiedler2201]

Love your rustic cabin !!! The stone foundation AWESOME !!!

[@SweetBeeCandles]

Throughly enjoy your videos. Skeeter is obviously the star of the show!! 🤠 Here in Ontario canada we are going though a cold snap as well ...last night as -37c. My husband and I live a 512sqft off grid home in woods. Our wood stove is working hard!

[@jimbrown4180]

Wood bin looks great neat and simple clean .nice touch to area of room .have a blessed weekend 🙏 keep warm !!

[@maltesemom9750]

We are retired military. My boys FAVORITE tour was when we were stationed @ Ft. Wainwright in Fairbanks!! Alot of great memories and experiences that they wouldn't of had in the lower 48!!

[@alanj7306]

Kyle, I love the videos! Skeeter is awesome and I enjoy watching him visiting the chickens 🐔. Great to see the wonderful care that you provide for them. I only have one problem with your videos. You should make more of them haha 😆. You keep us waiting too long. 100k subscribers coming soon. Congrats 🎊!!

[@ChiChi_Shaw]

You are so impressive. Oh don't worry about your wound on the throat area, I just hope it doesn't hurt. I just enjoy your videos so much and I know I'm not the only one. Kyle I was wondering, I know you intend to dig a well but is it not possible to get a barrel that you can fill up with snow and your water readily available?( I hope this is not a silly question) I love the way you take care of the chickens. Kyle you are strong. -35 and I don't think I've ever seen you in coat. You're out there working, you're amazing. I would collapse🤣🤣.

[@jimcrowell5093]

Necessity is the motherhood of invention👍good job on the wood rack excellent content once again🙏🤞

[@oddtechman]

Skeeter is such a goof lol.... he really helps make this channel with his antics lol. Huge thanks for another video and a happy new year to you and partner

[@ouroregonfamilylife5548]

Love your crustache 😂 my nephew has one like yours too.

[@Gijeff69]

OW Brother!!! Branded your neck in the middle of the night! S.o.B.! That had to hurt!!

[@karlepeterson8558]

It’s amazing that the chickens can handle those cold temps.

[@arshy45]

30°c here in Australia but I'm enjoying your cold weather videos- trying to convince myself I'm not so hot! Your chickens show you how much they love you as they continue to lay eggs for you. Those are well loved chickens.

[@andreac.6164]

Hey Kyle I whine when it's been getting down to -18f at night and -3 during the day, but you know, I think secretly loving the survival challenge. Spring will come soon enough.

[@jacquelinewells7575]

Oh my, that's hard to deal with, -35. Glad your stove works good. It's amazing the chickens survive it.

[@wlsweat1]

You and Sierra are tough as nails when it comes to the bitter cold. Where I live when it is summer and a cool breeze comes by and if it gets down to the 60's I'm freezing but in the Winter if it gets up to 58 degrees it's nice and warm. Go figure...us Southerners :)

[@jackirichard414]

Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@lquick6]

Love how much you love where you live and how you always have a positive attitude about it all. ♥️

[@susanbarbar1557]

Kyle,you are Amazing! You build,chop wood,sort the heating out,forage,collect water,move the chickens,build fires and cook! What does Ciarra do?! Just saying

[@sharencornils8091]

Good job Kyle. The wood storage area looks great. Stay warm.

[@sgt.pepper4274]

So easy to watch and enjoyable. Very little drama, if any. Simple. And I like simple. Continued GL.

[@bettyolis6228]

Had no idea that propane gels in freezing temps! Nice wood rack. Would like to mention colloidal silver for burns, cuts, scrapes, dry eyes, ear cleaning and good to keep infection away. It is non toxic anti bacterial so can be safe for animals. And keep it in a small glass spray bottle, Helps heal quickly. Petroleum products are more unbeneficial than good for us. Hope the temps even out for you folks, Skeet and the chicks!

[@briha3142]

Coming from upstate New York, then moving to Texas 45 years ago, winters in Central Texas was only about 3 months, but still not enjoyable! Glad that we finally moved to a tropical location, in early 2020, and NEVER have to deal with cold temps! I feel for you both! Thanks for posting your life challenges and endeavors!

[@floritapfister8701]

Such a talent. Made it in no time! Great job!!

[@123marlo]

I said before your doing fine for a young guy and a nice wee build plus it looks good neat and tidy and I liked the bit you had the chicken’s in the cabin big thumbs up ok stay safe peace and love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and a happy New Year 👍🥃

[@tomkeltescheverythingoutdo2379]

Yup, gotta get some battle scars sometimes. Lol. But that could've been worse. We had a windchill earlier in the week of -30, not nearly as cold as you guys had it. The split wood burns easier and quicker too. Great video!

[@dave-yeahthatsme3925]

Kyle, I love the lifestyle you live, your humbleness, and your knowledge. Don't worry about what we think about your voice or the war marks on your neck. you're a good person and we love your videos. I always learn something from you. Keep on living the dream brother!

[@sueyates3555]

Nice cabinet to store your wood you really did a gread job building it. Always glad when you bring your chickens out of the cold. I just love watching the channel you're such a real and positive person. All three of you take care.

[@drusillafletcher7206]

So glad the accident wasn't severe be careful awesome job on wood storage

[@richardmelanson7947]

Just became a subscriber and enjoying your videos that I’ve been seeing. Great job on the project you made for storing wood. I cant imagine what the chickens think when the are shuffle from your house to chicken coop. (Judy NB ) 🇨🇦🌲

[@JustAClownInAClownWorld]

That's some cold stuff buddy. Stay warm and stay safe. So beautiful where you are but we all know beautiful looking can sometimes mean harsh reality. Just gotta be smart like Kyle here and be prepared. Thanks again Kyle for always putting out such cool content. I really enjoy seeing what you guys are up too. May your New Year be blessed. 🙂

[@DiddlyPenguin]

Good one. A useful piece of storage. That will save u going out in the cold too often. I’m sure Cierra will paint it to Match. Skeeter is still as mad as ever @ I love the idea of bringing the chickens in on the cold nights. Good thinking 😁

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Nice wood rack.. You my friend are one talented guy...Is there anything that you tried to do and couldn't accomplish the task?? Stay warm..Let the girls staying the house where its warm, so they won't freeze at those temperatures..God bless.. Look foward to the next video to see what you are up to..Good to see Ciara back home...Stay warm..🇺🇸❤️🌹

[@gothicshadowstgg]

Nice job on the wood storage unit. Always enjoy your videos. Hope your neck heals fast. Take care.

[@connieroose8210]

I love that Skeeter found his ball. He’s such a sweet buddy.

[@danstaffier]

In that cold of weather I would build a double front door system. Like a little covered second door / mud room. So that way if you are walking in and out you aren’t losing all that heat. But love the videos keep it up!

[@JDOff-Course]

Always like seeing your vids pop up on here. Watch your burn for infection. The rack project turned out great. Plus gets you game system off the floor. Y’all have a great week too! 😀

[@BethS55]

Your a very kind and good man! Ya got Skeeters ball! Lady chickens are treated like family too! I Luv the wood holder!

[@blackmonday738]

Hello Sir Kyle, stay warm when u can, don't wear yrself out mate. Enjoy and take it all in. As u do. 🤙💙 Also for Scooters coat and start ur mulching pile of waste, throw egg shells in there and his food. If not ok too.

[@lynsmith2698]

I love the wood bin, awesome job. We just came out of a really long cold snap too, up here in northern BC. Glad yours end too, those temperatures are nasty eh.

[@lindsaylittle6535]

hey Kyle, was doing the same thing you were doing today regarding the firewood. some small and some regular size. Don't forget to look us up when you get to mid trail. I hope you will bring Skeeter along when you guys come up. Take care

[@russellwatters5891]

Firewood box looks great the way it is, simple and rustic. Did I read the thermometer right, -35 F outside, and 68 F inside? If so, your wood stove is doing an awesome job! The stove door burn, it happens occasionally, not always on the neck, but it happens. Lol Love what you're doing ❤️

[@cindymayo5700]

Nice wood bin, Kyle! Happy New Year!

[@jeremyb.1977]

Nice job on the wood storage rack. The cabin is looking great! Glad you are past those cold temps.

[@srh1101]

Nice work on the woodbin Kyle. You might want to think about getting a central support on it to stop the weight of the wood bowing it down over time.

[@lindacox8156]

Love how you both utilize your strengths doing the different things in the cabin! Boy. the wood looks so nice on the new shelves you built!!

[@janesykes9897]

Dam that must of hurt. I would have not put the skinny shelf, I would of left it open, so you could pile more of the thin wood higher, so you don't need to fill everyday.

[@mikefoss4962]

Love them all!! Keep making them!!

[@noyopacific]

Thanks for the video Kyle. I keep a 20# propane bottle (with a regulator and hose too) inside the cabin in the winter. This is just in case it gets so cold that the outdoor propane tank stops flowing.

[@kewljewl3006]

Nice job on the new woodbox! I saw somebody up in Canada talking about how they buried their propane tanks in the snow to insulate them from the cold.

[@suefleming]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL !!!! REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD !!!KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@dunk22]

Another good video, during the winter on the trapline I would bury my propane tanks and line in the snow and that kept them from gelling at temps that low and lower. Enjoying the videos, keep them coming.

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

Love the way the ladies speak to you! Great shelf. Stay warm. 😊🇨🇦

[@mrmrwebb]

I really enjoy your videos. Hope you keep making them!
