I’m a 67-year-old woman. This time last year I built a shed pretty much on my own because of what I learned from you. The only help I needed was to raise the walls and my grandkids wanted to help me with the simple projects. They were pretty proud of their grandma. It felt so rewarding to know I finished the shed, it’s still standing (LOL), has no leaks and it looks good. I’m already thinking about another structure to build. Your wife Brooke inspires me. You teach me. I thank both of you so much!

Here's what I love about your videos - your storytelling, I just love your enjoyable, engaging style, the builds themselves, yes you make them seem attainable, not easy, not impossible, and more work with your hands than emptying your pockets; your guitar playing in the background is great, seamless, easy to take for granted but is a perfect way to sew the whole video together. Like any good maker, it all seems to just happen, but so much goes into it, the doing, filming, editing and I always come away feeling similar to reading a good book, entertained as well as educated and those are two of my favorite things. Thank you so much, Dave Whipple, you rock!

I just want you to know that videos by you. This one in particular. Convinced me to decide to build a cabin of my own very similar to this instead of an expensive foundation home. It made me realize more minimalist homes like this deserve a resurgence. Because, especially in remote areas. They are truly the best way to live. Sincerely, the now 24 year old, debt free, self sufficient man you helped create. Thank you.

[@flowersinathens102]

i wish to be like you one day

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Is your attitude in the direction of man's advancement as thinking is our nature? Or is you attitude based on bring mankind back to a primitive existence? "Sincerely, the now 24 year old, debt free, self sufficient man." So was the caveman.

[@starwarsfan5001]

@EarthSurferUSA My attitude is that you shouldn't confuse advancement with materialistic possession. And that if we deprogram the idea of a 5 bedroom 4 bathroom $900,000 dollar house being necessary to "advance" and begin to live modestly. We will shift our focus on the things that truly matter in this world. Whatever that may be in our own minds. Consumerism and being better than the person next to us has invaded the subconscious of a large portion of America as of late. Especially as technology advances. I think your misunderstanding of my point doesn't come from a position of misunderstanding itself. But possibly more from a confusion between the words "primative" and "minimalist" because my cabin is larger (35×30 with 9 foot ceilings and a loft and a 16×30 foot porch to be more precise. But I built it all on family land. I did it piecemeal, bit by bit, and I did it without taking out strenuous mortgages that will put me and my soon to be fiancé in debt for the next 30 years. I built bigger because we want children. I built with HVAC. Because I live in Texas and summers can be in excess of 100° for weeks on end. But my house is simple when compared to most homes. That doesn't make me a Neanderthal. It makes me and my wife to be people that understand that sometimes some cattle and a modest home with people that love you are more important than the price tag on the things around you. THAT is the direction my attitude is in.

[@starwarsfan5001]

@EarthSurferUSA I'd venture to ask, as someone who clicked on, and hopefully watched this video in its entirety. What is your view on it? Do you think simple homes advance us and let us focus on more important things. Or do you think modernity helps us stave off "primative" habits?

Dave, you've done a fantastic job on this cabin in the woods. It will give you many happy days with those you cherish. God bless.

[@stevenlitkey9354]

I love your little cabins !! I'm in Green Bay and it's amazing that people don't realize 4-5 hrs away is pure beautiful wilderness !!! Keep building brother 👍👍👍

[@JudiDolliverAstley]

I love the videos you & Brooke put out! Very informative, but also showing you can create/produce projects in a way the rest of us could replicate if we so wished! What I love most is the beautiful scenery of woods & water! I may not get to watch them the very first day, especially in this busy holiday season, but watch them I do. Thank you both & stay safe & blessed!

There was something about this video that got to me way inside. I think God is there with you making that place, and I could sense it. Thanks so much..super enjoyable.

[@NaturalBeauty214]

I absolutely love this!! Such beautiful work and hard to believe our ancestors did this without all of the power tools we have today.

[@mamaninacooks]

You’re so cool Dave! You make it look easy and you’re a gifted teacher. Thank you for the inspiration.

Something we can't (easily) do here in the Netherlands (EU), but I've enjoyed this building process. It's inspiring. Thank you for your effort, not only building the cabin, but also making and uploading the video.

[@mountainguyed67]

What can’t you do easily? Would this need a permit? Some areas of the U.S. and Canada don’t require permits, I know Alaska doesn’t.

[@mm9773]

I'm so glad that people aren’t allowed to just intrude, build shit in the woods and disturb nature in Europe.

[@mountainguyed67]

@@mm9773 The cabin in this video was built on private property, no intrusion.

You have a very pleasing voice. I really enjoyed watching you build as well as listening to your narration. It brought back good memories of my childhood. I am one of eight children and we all worked together to help our dad and grandpa build our 4000 square foot home on our forty acres in the country. The sound of hammering nails is like music to my soul.

Dave, this was such an entertaining and instructional video. I don’t really have a lot of construction knowledge and this helped me to understand why things are put together the way they are. What an amazing thing you’ve made. Thank you for posting this.

[@pauloduarte3095]

Hey brother, I’ve been following you and your wife for a while and i am always blown away by you guys. This cabin looks beautiful. You should get the plans for the cabin made with a list of materials and gear links, i will buy it in an heartbeat. I would love to have a cabin like this bought on my property in Portugal and in England. Keep up the amazing work and God bless you and the family

"some cherry pie filling, who'se got it figured out now"? I love it! Awesome work man, keep it up!

Do the best we can with the time we have. Love me some Dave Whipple. God bless Dave, Brooke, and family.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@andrewh3730]

I love watching you build. It makes me want to build a cabin in the woods on on some land my family has in Colorado. It’s be in a more deserted area but there is a city not too far away. It’s what I’ve wanted to do my whole life. I know it sounds crazy but I keep imagining the peace and quite I’d find it cause my desire to grow.

[@hazardeur]

just gotta do it man. if you don't, you'll look back on it when it's too late

[@Samson-dn4eo]

do you know how to build a cabin? ive always wanted to learn

[@andrewh3730]

No I’ve never built one but you know what I can learn.

[@Samson-dn4eo]

@@andrewh3730 me too man. I wouldn’t even know where to start tho

[@marciaolson4878]

Such a pleasure to watch your builds, you’re so talented. You take good care Dave, God bless you and Brooke in all of your adventures. You make this old lady very happy and at peace with every vid, love you guys!❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@plumber13946]

Got to say Dave you make the most enjoyable videos out of the hundreds ive watched, also the easy listening narrated part that you do is simply the best, thank you so much for the entertainment from a 77 yr old plumber in England.

Hi England!

I’m going to subscribe just because of the mellow tone and how relaxed this guy communicates.

[@thefisherking78]

This was amazing! I'm 45 and have never been afraid of some hard work but my early life was mostly in landscaping and I'm still learning construction while working on rental properties. Just built a 20' wheelchair ramp this week and am pumped to keep learning more and bigger skills. Love your work, thanks!

[@thefisherking78]

UPDATE: built some stairs to a deck after watching you do it here. For reasons that would take too long to explain, being able to do that myself was not only empowering but extremely convenient and profitable. DIY FTW!!!

Thanks Dave! I appreciate your videos and how realistic your approach is to off grid building. You and your documentaries inspire and encourage me to do the same. Best to you and Brooke. 👍

[@smileyhappyradio]

You two have inspired me to buy land and build a cabin too. I love what you do together. Thanks for the great and helpful videos Dave.

[@jasont7814]

Incredible build. Thank you for putting this together.
