Remote Off Grid Cabin Building Project ....Part 2

A remote off grid cabin.......This fall I'm getting back to work on my 12x12 remote cabin in the upper Midwest.......if the snow will stop long enough to let me.

[@ccvifuntimes5987]

Worst thing about these videos is that they end. This is the most relaxed I’ve been in weeks! God bless you and your family, Dave. 🍁☮️💟✝️🍂

[@KM00Youtube]

Totally agree with you! Love watching you smoothly build these cabins, amazing.🥰😎

[@pjseiber2774]

My thoughts and sentiments exactly. Love it❤ Thanks for sharing Dave

[@jacekpiechucki]

Yes, they do finish:(

[@jasonyeager2718]

I watch while cooking and eating breakfast. Helps me start my day off in a chill way.

[@janinedevilliers510]

I couldn't agree more. Great comment.

[@stephenjohnson6441]

Buddy of mine got me watching these videos. We’d spend hours watching them and dream of building something. He died from cancer last week. We’re having his service tomorrow November 18th. I’m sitting here at his house with his wife and family waiting for tomorrow and decided to watch another video and found a little peace and a little sadness. Thanks for the videos and someday I’ll get me a cabin I can disappear to for an escape. God bless and take care.

[@Supwisebs]

Stephen, I'm sorry for your loss. I had a similar situation with a friend of mine. He died a month ago yesterday. It's a hard thing. Take care.

[@bruceking5173]

My brother died with a lot of plans between us. Sometimes it is time to make the plans happen. and that time is soon, and now. Life is too short for only the other stuff. dreams are important.

[@Pepper-rn4hh]

I'm sorry for everyone losing friends and brothers, i believe we will see our loved ones again. We are all spirits having a human experience together. Take care, everyone

[@pastorjohnmswanson5365]

So sorry. I have lost a lot of friends along the way.

[@michaelb7363]

My condolences. Keep the dream alive and you go build that cabin. ❤

[@phillipcraddock8248]

To be able to escape here and never punch a clock again would be such a blessing

[@GlennCinquegrana]

Dave, I have been watching your videos for years. You inspired my wife and I to ramp up what had been an 8 year + search for a property in the mountains in northern New England. I am happy to tell you that we closed on our property in September 2023 !!!

[@nickp7186]

Dave, fellow Michigander here. Found your channel a month ago and it’s given me the confidence to tackle a few home projects that I’ve been putting off. Thanks!

[@Bushradical]

awesome

[@fucamaroo]

You have a lot of good stuff to watch. His wife's channel is great, too.

[@christinashawgo6510]

Your gonna spend hours going back on old videos

[@itsmedavearoo]

Buy a VOC Ed book and learn how to do it right. You won't be sorry.

[@thefrenchadventure2021]

Why should you buy if Dave gives very good tips?😊 He's a good carpenter and explains very well what he's doing. ❤

[@loganmungo9546]

I've been watching you for a few years, times have been tough for me recently but your videos have always been like a home away from home for me. Thank you Dave

[@henrymorgan3982]

Hang in there man!

[@alwaysoutdoors4242]

I'm a praying for you right now, I don't know what you are dealing with specifically but God does.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

May the Lord bless you and keep you… I pray that whatever it is you are de#ling with, that the Lord will wrap you in His grace and that you feel the comfort of His presence! Take care….

[@c.a.g.1977]

The cabin looks really cosy, I can only imagine how satisfying it must be to sit there at night, reading a book, with a coffee, knowing that you built it, all by yourself!

[@Bushradical]

Hello BC!

[@pastorjohnmswanson5365]

I love this build. I built a shed in the backyard and made a lot of mistakes. Seeing this gave me lots to think about on my next shed. I’m 77 years old and still able to work. Great build.

[@Hardcore-Homestead]

As someone who lives in an off grid cabin in the snowy mountains I know the video doesn't do that beauty justice. Nothing like evergreen trees covered in snow on a cold day when the sun is out. Gorgeous!

[@FishyBoi1337]

I love channels like these because they remind me of being a little kid watching my dad build stuff and work on whatever. Felt like he had a million years experience doing everything under the sun, and then some! No self-doubt or hesitation, just rolling with the punches, enjoying every second of it. I pray I can attain that security and peace before I get too much older, hah.

[@johnr3603]

Well stated

[@LindaSChastain]

Dear Dad Dave, you may want to give Mick a heavy-duty Shovel for your hammer. At the moment he'd say yes please Dad. I've followed Brooke and you for many years, now I'm following your son Mick. God bless you all. BTW my husband will watch now and again. He's spent many a summer in Alaska. He's 93 and going strong. I'm 69 and trying to keep up. I love you all in Christ. Warm hugs from northern California. Linda Chastain

[@w.w.8823]

Your kitchen cabinets are a masterclass in efficiency and thrift. I love the way you show how they are made with clarity and zero wasted time. Really enjoyed this, thank you.

[@robertgrey7266]

I found your videos and Brooke’s while looking for ideas and tips on how to restore a 70-year-old cabin I am working on here in Nagano, Japan. The first video I watched was the build of your small black cabin with red trim and that big window made from a piece of glass you had stored in a chicken coop for a long time. That and so many of yours and Brooke’s videos have provided so much insight and inspiration to keep my own project going. Thank you!!!

[@tmpickrell]

Dave, your channel is outstanding. Your videos are inspiring. You have a great spirit and an admirable can-do attitude. The principles you live by should serve as an example to everyone. Thanks!

[@johnr3603]

His guitar work is epic, one of my favorite parts....

[@SruiCtong]

I've been watching you for a few years now, and even though I've been going through a difficult moment lately, your videos have always felt like a second home to me. Dave, thank you

[@noyopacific]

My grandfather build a dresser and desk with drawer slides done same way. That was over 60 years ago. I have them now and they still work fine. 🙂 Thanks for the video Dave !

[@HandymanLand]

Awesome, watching this video I said I need to make that style for my workshop as well.

[@ginadills]

I enjoy your videos, as well as your wife and son's too. I could watch you all every day. Thank you for the great building videos. You have inspired me!

[@Bushradical]

Thanks 👍

[@jasonlarmer9420]

I built a garden shed in my backyard, this was my first build mostly by myself and I've never framed anything before. What I learned was " a good way to do it is as good as the next good way to do it". Your simple builds Dave inspire others to do the same, all you need is a curiosity and a desire tp do it. Keep it up Dave, looking forward part 3.

[@julianielsen1885]

Agreed!! The videos are vey soothing.

[@arcmaine207]

Dave is a true legend. He is able to use the internet to help others (and make $) while at the same time living a simple life in the woods. Truly inspiring

[@ericwanderweg8525]

Haven’t watched a minute of it yet and I’m already hitting that like button 😂

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@nancyrea3863]

I’ve been following both you and Brooke way back when Masie was an only child. You make those cabinets look so easy to build. Watched Brooke strip the bark off on the trees she will be using for her big cabin come the spring/summer. And the icing on the cake is you both love and follow the teachings of Christ. Brooke cracks me up when she gives me the first bite. See u next time.

[@kenc1800]

Hey David, I just wanted to thank-you for efforts to film your cabin builds, time to edit and especially your musical guitar picking/strumming.. Your narration is fantastic story telling and I greatly appreciate your channel’s post editing formate. It makes for more enjoyable viewing and understanding of where your head is at and what you are thinking! Your daughter and son are beautiful and creative kiddos. I love their channels and are thoroughly enjoying watching them grow and create, just like you and Brooke. They are great story tellers and I am proud how they are growing by life lessons. They are making new friends, solidify old ones and expanding their KZbin family, one day/episode at a time

[@user-onyoutube868]

The skill sets that you and your wife have, and the freedom to use them for projects that are meaningful to you are what dreams are made of. You guys are great examples of hard work, fortitude, and resourcefulness. Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery, lovely cabin, and the pace of life that is so relaxed while accomplishing so much.

[@cedarrockcabin3633]

As my uncle used to say, ' I love work. I could sit & watch it all day.' And you make it look so easy. Ha! Oh my! That snow was gorgeous! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@jeffxdogg]

Love all your videos. You and Brooke and even Mick inspired me to build an off grid cabin for our family on our property in west MIchigan near silver lake. You have given me so many ideas for my own cabin, thank you!

[@Bushradical]

Awesome

[@alivewithhemp4989]

I learn a lot each time I watch your videos. You also help me remember the things I was taught, but haven't put to practice in decades. Thank you!

[@user-li7pp3im6l]

So glad to have another video from you. Your cabin location is beautiful, especially just as winter looms. I’m really looking forward to seeing more from you and Brooke throughout the winter. Stay warm 😊

[@Bushradical]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@gabba5423]

I think I could sit and watch you build all day long. Great job. I love the flooring and kitchen cabinets. Loft and ladder idea was awesome. Thanks Dave look forward to seeing what you do next.

[@warrenwerner6338]

Man I really like watching his shows. He seems to be real smart and simple easy going man. I told my wife I wish I would have had a dad like him. Keep up the good work.

[@donnaeconomos678]

Love it! My pop always upcycled everything-before it was a thing❤😂. I love how you know how to do almost anything outdoors- and if you don’t know you just dive right in and figure it out. You and Brooke are the bomb!

[@richardc3208]

Thanks Dave for all the beautiful shots of winter. We get snow in south Alabama about once every 10 years. The longer video with your story telling and the music. The way you know how to explain what you are doing and with what you are using, sure makes it relaxing. God bless you and yours

[@Artari]

You and Brooke's channel always is both so relaxing and inspiring....mahalo for your wisdom and creativity. Much needed videos for anyone looking to build their own home, enjoy nature and decompress from the stresses from this world...God bless you two

[@HandymanLand]

I strongly agree. I don't know why, but watching Dave work is a relaxing experience. 😊

[@Artari]

@@HandymanLand aloha, I totally agree

[@maderaanalytics]

These videos are so relaxing to watch. It completely made me forgot what i was worrying about.

[@budlvr]

With all the snow, I couldn't take my eyes away from this video Dave; then all the interior construction, and here I am at 3:30 AM (CST) signing off for the night. I know I'll sleep well knowing you made such good progress on this build. Thanks for the work and editing!

[@MikeSnedaker]

What one man called Dave can do another can do. I’m on the hunt for some land. You’ve ignited something in me I never knew was there. Thank you sir.

[@darkwolf4226]

I would love to do this just to make a little house and live in the middle of nowhere it would just be my dream to do it it would just be so nice and peaceful where you don’t have to worry about anything

[@sherryh7485]

I know you have a life, but ... more. Great calming, entertaining and informative videos you create, thank you.

[@teaberrywmn]

Silent snow. Secret snow. Once again Dave, you've made a very pleasing video!. Thank you.

[@Bobbieyounce]

I love Dave and Brookie's videos! I learn so much from watching them!

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

Dave, you produce some damn fine videos my friend. Very entertaining and informative. Cheers to you and the fam!

[@Bushradical]

Thanks!!!

[@arcmaine207]

Even the 3 second guitar intro brings feelings of peace

[@carlpickins106]

Dave, I watch you and my blood pressure drops 15 points a min. You sir are awesome. A true pleasure to watch. Thank you.

[@dennisblair3624]

I really enjoy watching your videos! You explain why you do what your doing and make us all believe we can too. You and Brooke are an inspiration!

[@virginiavilas]

You brought us beauty, craft, and humor. Thank you, Dave! This is the first video of yours I've watched. Appreciate Brooke's and Mick's work....and now Yours. Happy Thanksgiving to you ALL !!!🦃

[@heatherk8931]

❤ lordy! You got some binge watching to do. He's amazing ❤❤

[@jonathanschantz6736]

These are the only videos I’ll watch multiple times on YT. They’re just perfectly done.

[@winnieswalk3304]

You build cabins like you're just making a doll house! 😮🙌🏼👏🏼

[@LilYeshua]

Thanks. That brings back memories of my dad when I was growing up. He was a woodworker by trade. He made a table saw out of parts he fabricated. I still remember the singing noise that the saw blade made. He mounted two lawnmower wheels on one end to move it around the shop plus it was a pretty light setup. It had a belt drive that the tension could be set. Homemade fence.

[@ArtOfWoodCraft]

Oh man, you are such an inspiration for the cabin build we just uploaded. Thank you for continuing to make such great content. I am so excited to have been able to watch your videos before we took our project on. If you get a chance to check out the video build we did - it was largely inspired by you, your wife and your son! Stay safe and warm out there. Enjoy the weather today and tomorrow!

[@kidgloves2]

I just subbed to your channel. Great little cabin you built.

[@ArtOfWoodCraft]

​@@kidgloves2thanks so much!

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Checked out your channel… new sub!! Great job! New subscriber number 813…. My daughter's birthday is 8/13 !!!!! What a cowinkydink!!!!

[@mn2008]

You cannot put those on land or lot anymore the law in most county forbid this housing

[@ArtOfWoodCraft]

@@mn2008 you've gotta be careful when you buy - but there are plenty of places that don't have all the rules you may have experienced.

[@oldladylinda]

There is nothing better than watching videos made by you and Brooke. Speaking of Brooke, ask her to stop by that cabin one day and pretty up the inside of that front door :)

[@FauxZen69]

As an architect, let me tell you, I love watching you.

[@stevebrown3955]

Thanks for checking in with all of us fans Dave!! Love your cabin and the way you go about your business, not letting something that is beyond your control get you down. Thanks again for sharing with all of us!!

[@johnhine8725]

I’m so glad we found your channels. Straightforward informative relaxing. My favorite takeaway is the story on you giving Mick your fave hammer. You’ll have to pull a secret switch! Ha ha ha.

[@julie5188]

I really enjoy the guitar playing and you DAVE it’s great to watch a friend with talent and skills in this life

[@milliealford8968]

Man, you are something. Your voice, the videos how you explain-- your just AWESOME. I know Brooke is so proud to have you as her husband. It was nice to see a real ring on your finger. I lost 2 husband's before I was 54. Love every minute you have together like it's your last. My two guys were AWESOME too. One was even a "MacGyver" Remember that show?? GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.

[@S.Carpenter]

Wow. That was a LOT of work! So well done too. Love the floor. It changes the whole vibe! Thank you so much for filming all that and editing it all as well. So glad you have so many views on this one! It's been a really fun journey.

[@tracieperez2629]

I was so happy to see this video pop up in my feed, love watching you build. I know you don't build cabins all the time, but its always enjoyable. I laughed when you mentioned being without your hammer because it sounded so much like Thor from the movie Ragnorok when he talks about missing his hammer. Its also very sweet that you let your son build his cabin with it.

[@DavidElMago81]

You know what's therapeutic?.... your videos. Keep them coming.

[@moumitamomotaz7155]

As someone who never saw snow fall....this is freakin amazing

[@331slash]

These type of videos are my favorite that you make. So relaxing. Keep it up

[@bettyvarone4420]

I just loved this video, when I was a little girl I watched my dad and his friend do everything to add in to our little house with hand tools in the 1950s, you have God given talent and everything looks just beautiful.

[@Punacat101]

I'm sitting allllll the way out here in Hilo, Hawaii. I cannot tell you how homesick these videos make me feel. Mesmerizing and lovely, homey and comforting. Thank you Dave for taking so much time and doing so much work, to show your love for what you do with the world.

[@charlessessions7293]

Man u are easy on the ears 👂 🙌 !! U have the most story telling voice on all of Utube !! Awesome craftsmanship 😊

[@BarryWalker-7171]

Dave, 1st video i watched of yours was the day in a cabin in the woods.. probably about a year ago i guess.. i really think you do a good job in all facets of your channel. With all the different content out there these days. Yours is very refreshing and i really believe folks can benefit from watching. Heck i even got my 13 and 10 year old sons watching and telling people to stay radical. I hope you continue for a long time to come..

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

Wow! What a snowstorm. It's so beautiful... love your cabin build videos!! Blessings to you, Brooke and Mick.

[@HandymanLand]

I agree, very beautiful. I enjoy watching Dave's videos.

[@paulmiller7276]

Dave- I am alone in my shop repairing musical instruments for a good part of the year. I have a small tv with a DVD player which is also hooked up to Apple TV (WiFi). That’s how I see your channel. It is therapeutic for me to watch you build as I repair. I ba e see. Your videos so many times I don’t loom at the picture, I just listen and work. 😊 Thanks!

[@CurtisMoe]

Daves videos touch something in my soul.

[@user-gx7ek3ym2v]

Hey Dave, your videos and Larry Hauns' are a big factor in my upcoming cabin build. I haven't built anything of that size before, but every time i watch one of your videos going through the process it feels just a bit more attainable. Thanks!

[@dancooney8188]

Thank you, Dave…….. I mean this in all sincerity as all of us have watched many KZbin videos when watching yours, you are most definitely a step above in so many areas whether it’s presentation, narration, audio visual, you’re hitting home runs production value is above and beyond. So enjoyable, please don’t make us wait so long for the value that your videos bring to all of us……. hope that’s not too much pressure. If it is just ignore the last comment. Your best comes out only when you’re ready for it. Thank you again !!! Read a few comments of people who don’t like the music in the background ….They have absolutely no harmony with the flow of work and environment…They are probably most obviously the people that become Sheeple

[@tedtimmis8135]

I agree with your comments. The narration, the storyline, the progress we get to see and the music are all fantastic.

[@alancall5113]

Thanks Dave You made me realize just slow down and enjoy life. Love the videos. Awesome, photography, you've come a long ways And music

[@natopotato5159]

Being in Wisconsin, I build my own cabin 22years ago and now I’m 44 years old. My coworkers can’t believe I have a cabin of my own. My answer is that then was don’t buy a new truck every three years.😂 sweat, equity and Hardwork

[@richl9049]

Hi Dave, I am NOT handy at all and have never undertaken any sort of project like this. That being said, I have really learned a lot by watching your videos. I also just love the relaxed pace of your videos, including how you take your time with things and explain what you do along the way. You are a great 'story teller' of sorts through your work! Thanks, Rich.

[@CellasChariot]

This is the most relaxing video I've watched in a long time...thank you Dave for showing us how "easy" it is to build a little one room cabin with a loft...God Bless you and Brooke!! Live free...Cella & Sugar

[@jgbsweeper7325]

Quite possibly the most entertaining video I’ve ever watched. Thanks for sharing!

[@seen48]

That able saw needs to be in a museum! When you buy your new fancy hammer, add a new lighter table saw to the list. 😅 Amazing work. Those cabinets are going to come out great. Can’t wait to see it completely finished.

[@amyj.s.9610]

It was very satisfying to see your continued work on this cabin, that’s the best word I can think of to describe it. Satisfying 😊 Thanks Dave, learning a lot from you!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Badger bug’s nice! Thank you for the great video Dave, say hey to the misses for me.😊

[@Bushradical]

Will do

[@carletonblackwell]

Love watching these videos it takes me back to grizzly Adam’s narration as a kid. Easy to watch and I’ve learned a lot of tricks

[@kyledolovacky]

Take a block of bees wax and rub it on the drawer slides and bottoms on the drawers. Makes for a nice, easy, squeak free slide. Love these videos, I hope to someday build a shop and house for my family and I to live in.

[@sandrahattoy3263]

You are like an awesome book or movie- one hates to see it end! This cabin is awesome! I hope others are inspired to build like you! Amazing! Thanks Dave! It was very relaxing! (Even watching you cut on that table saw! )💕

[@Heinrich_STG44]

Great content Dave. You're exactly right on the cabinets. Yours will be there for years to come while the compressed ones will rot the first time they get wet. And if you have plumbing they'll eventually get wet.

[@Equinox601]

I love the 90s feel of your videos

[@gloriamoore766]

I think a few reasons that your channel does so well is that you have such a calming voice & you don't use bad language. Of course the content is always interesting & informative. God bless you & your family!

[@goingagainstthegrain]

I was telling your wife on her last video; that you both have motivated us to start the hunt for some raw land. Happy Holidays to all of you! God Bless.

I'm learning a few carpentry tricks each video I watch. I truly appreciate your work. Sharing it with my son in law.

[@joefolts6288]

Hey thanks for the new episode. I swear you could drive across the country and make it a hit with the casual monologue! You remind me of old Walt Disney episodes that were adventures of some dog that ended up all the way across the country and its finding its way back home. You'd be a great narrarator for those kinds of shows. Anyway, I'll still be looking forward to your next post! Be well!

It always looks so easy when you do it, no matter what it is. 😊 I enjoy watching Mick, even though he does a great job, he has to think about it more. That makes me feel like I can maybe build something, too. (at least a chicken coop)

[@wilwilliamson8831]

Watching you at work with basically a chat overview is so therapeutic 👍
