I built a similar shelter when u was a kid to pull behind my four wheeler or strap to the flatbed of my truck at the time. I absolutely loved that thing! I spent countless nights in it in all kinda of weather. This video took me back to those wonderful days spent in my little home away from home. I believe I’m going to have to build another one now. Thanks for the video sir!

[@marlenem8315]

You continue to impress me with your projects, big or small. Your Sledmocamp is awesome for those overnights to keep out of elements. Years ago we made one too. Were in Michigan. The White Cedar is perfect. We made the runners a little longer for better stability, on the uneven ground at times. Your Dad seems to be enjoying these builds and spending time with you. This is really fantastic videos. Keep up the great work.

I would absolutely work with your Dad any day. He takes good direction, he doesn't quibble over stuff, he undertakes any task you assign, and he is gentle with tools, tractor, and sawmill. Give him a big raise in pay on our behalf. Plus throw in a company truck. He deserves it. .... from east coast Canada. Oh, almost forgot, buy him a beer.

[@senioroutsider2975]

THKS for the positive comments Dan! I like the way you think regarding job perks... riding the snowmobile and tractor once in awhile will have to suffice, when it comes to company vehicles. Lol. As for the pay raise I should check with the guvernmint about upping my pension. THKS for the smile today Dan, Have a great Day!

[@arnoldaltjr.2099]

I am an old snowmobiler and snowmobile mechanic. Be sure to carry an extra drive belt for that Jag. Also get a couple of high floatation skis for that shed. You will need them in deep snow. Depending how far and often you tow it you might consider a deep snow snowmobile. Longer wider track. Nice job.

While I dislike the waiting between episodes, I am so grateful for the quality content you put out. I love the format (live audio/narration) you have chosen and wish others would use it. Your lack of blathering on ad nauseam to fill quiet time is one of my favorite aspects of your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Much appreciated! When I started this channel, I promised myself that I would always choose quality over quantity. Meaning I would rather produce 1 episode that I can be proud of, than churn out 3 mediocre episodes. Unfortunately, the KZbin algorithm doesn't always seem to like that approach, but I've been blessed to see my channel grow anyway. Thanks to people like you, who understand my overall vision and appreciate the 'quality over quantity' concept.

I like that saw. Never seen one before. We don't have big timber left in Eastern Newfoundland. Just gnarly spruce and balsam fir and limited birch.

[@steingrovdal1]

Awesome. Nice videos!

[@mikel9567]

Looks really good. The only thing I would suggest is some ventilation. You will find that the condensation gets trapped inside if you keep it too warm and it will lead to mold issues.

[@peoplez129]

I think the window would be better with an insulated flap or slider on the inside, because that's going to be a major source of heat loss. It might be a relatively small window, but it's also a small space. If you for example scaled that window up to a relative size on a house, it would be like a huge window more than 12ft across. And I'm sure that you can imagine a house in a cold place with a single pane 12ft window, is going to get pretty chilly. Also, the floors should be insulated from underneath.

[@blackrussian7578]

[@darkwolfnova344]

I absolutely love it. Without much modification I can use this vid to build the perfect doghouse. I'll have to put thin wood paneling inside to cover the insulation and corrugated tin (the wavy stuff) so they can't climb on top. But those are minor details. Loved the vid! Its very instructional

[@regsparkes6507]

Where has this channel been all my life?! It's like Marty Stouffer meets this old house.

[@steveruggles8687]

Thanks for a great video, as always! From someone who's cut over a million bd. ft. on a bandmill; keep your movable blade guide within an inch of the wood. It will give you a straighter cut and allow you to cut faster (except in frozen wood which is difficult at best!). Love your project and minimal narration. I appreciate your willingness to work in less than ideal conditions to keep your project(s) going. You guys are great. Thanks from SW MT.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks Steve! My mill is an older model, so it actually doesn't have a movable blade guide. It'd be nice to have one though! It is sometimes painful working out in the cold all day, but I believe it's more painful having to stay inside. I feel best when I'm working, and I'm grateful that the Lord made me that way.

[@craigtegeler4677]

Hi Guys! That has to be a first quality build I've ever seen! Not only does it serve as a portable bunk shelter, but it would also be the best kinda dog shelter too! Didn't you have a shelter consisting of the use of a canoe or something similar not too far back the was on full display on KZbin??? Anyways, I believe that your efforts to succeed in this type of build is out of this world! The outside of your shelter could still be vinyl clad and the roof could be plasticized with roofing tar, while the external horizontal bracing could be applied on the interior instead. I can very well see that this shelter could last 50 years plus under normal circumstances without one problem whatsoever! An additional reflective thermal blanket could be applied to the interior if need be as well! Fantastic job and job very well done!! Many thanks for your sharing this on KZbin Guys!!

We need to see an overnite at basecamp to see how and what type of heat and or light that you may chose

[@OkFixer]

Very cool video. Very useful device. I thought it was going to be much heavier than that as well. A couple things I would do. I would hinge a piece of sheet metal In the front, so when you’re traveling, you affix it at an angle so it will act as a buffer for low hanging branches. That way it doesn’t rip the roof off. If you get a branch caught up underneath that roof it’ll tear right off. And this way the branches would be scooted out of the way like a cow catcher on the locomotive. Also I would’ve fix some sort of solid hitch in a triangular fashion. This way when you go around corners, your house does not scoot to the side of the trail and drill a tree. Although that would make for a great video. It wouldn’t be conducive to your intents. A small woodstove would be handy as well. In my opinion. And lastly, it would have to have a hole in the floor, with a removable, replaceable section of wood. So I can ice fish through it. Very neat video very cool device. I hope you don’t take offense to my comments. They are only my opinions. Thanks for your videos.

[@MrAustruck]

been up for 30 days and near a million views with multiple adverts ..wow this guy is a genius in every way

[@texanforeverthompson3645]

Nicely done. I would have made it using a minimum wood frame with double lightweight foam side panels for increased insulation and far lighter weight. The roof could be the same stuff under aluminum roofing. Same for a triple foam paneled floor. A small modern iron wood stove with a ceramic window could be attached externally but with surrounding fireproof sheet metal sheathing insulation attaching it to the cabin, and the door opening into the interior. The weight would likely be cut in half and it would be much warmer. Also, the sled runners could be made much lighter due to less weight to carry. In the old days we had "heat-a-lators" which were double metal walled chambers heated by, and surrounding, the stove and safely ducting clean heated outside air into the rooms and/or under the floors. The same principle on a smaller scale could be used here for a toasty interior with a warm floor. .

[@patricksalish]

[@williamhollaway4174]

Very cool now you just need one of those fire places and have the door swing up and use it as a awning. Good luck guys

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

You've read my mind.

[@DougHanchard]

We learned how to make a lean to shed on birch log "skis' during High School Hunter Training in 1978 (Edmonton Alberta). The side door was made to angle heat from a camp fire 10' away. We didn't have foam insulation though, just lots and lots of Douglas fir branches packed on the roof!

[@lifeupnorth9385]

Awesome video, one observation that I have is maybe a better choice would be to put the window on the back of the camper, so when you're towing in, there's no risk or breaking in by either ice being thrown up by the track or a tree branch going through it.
