Wilderness ATV Garage Build, Done! Made with Chainsaw-Milled Cedar Lumber. (pt 3) #59

The four wheeler gets abused enough out here, being my only transportation around the woods. To keep from having to cover it every time the weather turns, I decided it needed its own carport. I first hung the roof from the trees just to see if it was possible to build a legless garage. But now with another Michigan winter closing in, I was afraid the snow load would rip the trees down. After a few days' work, the atv garage has legs and lots of shelving thanks to milling scraps and one mostly rotten cedar log.
Because I’ve gotten so many questions about the gear that I use on the channel, here are some of the most important pieces I use every day:

Stihl owes You royalties or something. You are The Chainsaw Artist truly

[@catsgillhillbilly]

I dig the silly banter between you and Tito. What a cool friendship you two share.

[@TopDedCenter1]

Must not be a woman anywhere nearby. Just two dudes having fun, lol.

Building from the sky down!

Best Saturday morning hangover videos there is

I spent many years using Enerpac Hydraulic Gear for Civil Defence style Heavy Rescue. Thank you for bringing back so many memories.

[@timothycluck678]

I call that skill with that saw well done my you tube friend well done ✅😊

[@Nukeatheart]

Always nice to have a buddy who is the size and strength of a NFL offensive lineman!

[@seansysig]

Roll up tarp ends & sides would keep snow out and in the Spring & Summer allow air flow.

[@RussSchoonmaker]

Great suggestion- especially after seeing him showcase his world class sewing skills 2 weeks ago.

[@k.gardner2991]

gotta respect a guy with mad chainsaw skills..cool beans!

[@larrylacalandra7153]

Now that’s much better than the hanging roof! That’s really cool! I think you should just close in the gable ends.

[@MarkDurbin]

Made me very happy :) I suppose that makes me a bit weird too.

[@martykennedy3962]

You’ve done it once again. Another great build by a guy with imagination and humor. Take care and enjoy your world!

[@zachzeilinger4019]

Nice build. Too bad legs weren't 1' taller Chainsaw skills are first rate!! Can't wait for the Man Cabin!!!

[@radagast6682]

The taller it is, the more snow comes in from the sides.

[@selador11]

Push comes to shove. Middle of the worst part of winter... You could evict the 4x4, hang some plastic on the sides of this thing, and put your tent inside. It would give you at least a bit more protection from the cold and snow.

[@richardwhite4277]

love the new saw horses DONK

[@NaturzFury]

GOOD MORNING RYAN!!!!!

[@dgb56bgd]

Blessings dude, from this old man in northeast Tennessee. Great content. Pretty awesome what y’all have accomplished, with a chainsaw and some ingenuity.

[@johnoldonekanole602]

Sir,, you are smarter than any individual has a right to be . Having said that , You are freaking amazing . Great vid . Thank you for sharing your most excellent adventure . Stay safe .

[@robbstack]

This ATV Garage remodel is one of my favorite projects that you've done. Can't wait to see how the Mini Cabin comes along.

[@hero2006]

Great craftmanship and an awesome project. Thanks for sharing.

[@RussSchoonmaker]

Some plexiglass or polycarbonate panels would be nice to close off the gable ends so you can still enjoy the natural light inside.

[@annadaurie2435]

Unbelievable love it. The work you do is amazing.

[@lloydpowell1056]

Fantastic skills with your tools

[@66bigbuds]

I would cover up the gable ends to keep snow off the shelves.

[@jaredscabinlife2868]

Your chainsaw skills are amazing man!

[@davesanders9203]

"A little nonsense now and then"???? What a bunch of malarkey!!!!! You're pretty much in that mode 90% of the time. AND, you work so hard at it!

[@nighthunter8663]

Wie immer gute Arbeit. 👍 Gruß Frank

[@selador11]

I can relate to your joy at something as simple as shelves. I live by myself out in the woods, as well. I've taken a bit different track than you have, in that I built a tiny building, and live in the building. I marvelled for a couple years at having running water. Then at having HOT and cold running water! I have now been ecstatic for over a year at the MAGIC of a spray wand on the sink!!! Whoever invented that thing deserves wings!!!

[@ryanpaul5604]

Such a cool primitive "shop"

[@kimberlyswartz2536]

Good Morning!!☀️😄🌞

[@allenenabnit7078]

I think your getting the hang of it out there in the woods 4 wheeler barn look sweet

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

Ahhh ya….. another great video at ringworm !! Your little woods is really starting to look exceptionally nice !! So maybe we should do a virtual beer together🤔🤔sure y not 🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺😜

[@cliftonsnider1520]

I was going to say you’re getting dangerously close to wrecking your reputation with those fancy measuring tools and nice joints but then I noticed you still wear your nail apron backwards. 😄🤣

[@pennyt4020]

Loved the scribe tip!!!! Love all your ideas!!!

[@crazgirl80]

You are a Artist . Your medium is a chain saw. Have an idea just mill the log. The one thing I would add is maybe a couple of bungees to the shelves .

[@marksjua09]

For all wood in contact with the soil or concrete use asphalt shingle and pedestal to keep wood from dry rot.

[@rodmeisterful]

Mad genius!

[@patriciamoody3137]

The thing I like the most is how much fun you have. It’s contagious, so thank you.

[@TopDedCenter1]

The Tusken Raider gesture @28:50 cracked me UP lol

[@ezmac622]

That pine/cedar limbs burning sounds like bacon!

[@iceman256]

Wow..you never cease to amaze me with your talent, you just wing it without blueprints and it always turns out perfect. Hats off my friend ...Bravo 👏 👏 👏 Can't wait to see your finished Man Cave👌 Stay safe and healthy 👊💥🇨🇦

[@kathleenlairscey5934]

Now that's a custom chainsaw cut, very nice!

[@rushhourredrock99]

I started watching your videos a week ago and I am amazed by your skills and vision. Keep up the good job!

[@williameddy7217]

Best Video yet !!!! 2 or 3 great hacks .Really liked how you used the stumps to plane your edges on the boards. Your really on top of your game! Can't wait to see the Cave Build. Thanks

[@ElJasperino]

It looks like your back is way better again. Nice video!

[@thomaschandler4831]

Very nice work Brother 🏆🇺🇸😁

[@jamesperkins3584]

Great build as usual! How about closing in the triangular ends of the roof so snow doesn't blow in and get on the shelves.

[@rpeterson223]

Man cave size 12x12 will make a difference, especially when entertaining

[@Downeastwaves]

Awesome job! So glad you are putting the wood chips to great use!! Have a great week!!

[@pnowikow]

It's not too easy you're just a very skilled Craftsman or woodsman or it's Tito's good luck

[@cliffmorgan31]

Buy 4 pumice blocks, then place 1 under each leg so it is raised 8 inches and you won’t bang your head when riding in on on the 4 wheeler. Put a tar based shingle on the pumice block to stop water wicking into the legs. Fasten the whole thing down so wind doesn’t move it.

[@kameljoe21]

Why buy when you can find. I am sure he has something stone wise out there!

[@cliffmorgan31]

Pumice blocks are cheap!

[@harryinhuahin1272]

@@cliffmorgan31 "cheap" is relative.

[@roostercogburn809]

Nice, close the gable ends...

[@WoodRanger138]

No matter how I "plan", the cold season just creeps in with me scrambling to finish up projects and WINTERIZE. Often think about how You're doing over there. We are on the same latitude but Your weather is deeply affected by "Lake effect". Button up Brother

[@karinkreamer8071]

Morning, nice work on the shed. Have a great week.

[@davidhimeback9087]

Glad you add legs to that hanging structure.You know the snow coming would really put a lot weight an mostly would have brought in down. Ever though you did a great feet getting that structure up !!!

[@nena4215]

Wow, you’re so talented!

[@lyralong]

Very inspirational

[@trevordinwoodie3231]

I'll be starting the PCT this year late March - the Sierra is what I'm looking forward to the most!

[@mikehird5118]

think about a rocket stove application with a propane tank heat exchanger to heat your man cave or sauna in the future . trust me it works :)

[@skyl4rk]

The shed reminds me of the figure four traps I used to make to trap squirrels. The squirrel would bump one of the sticks and the log would come down and squash it. When the ATV bumps one of the posts, it will get captured under the roof.

[@jhondoux84]

Lol

[@markstanton2362]

Knee braces will help secure the legs.

[@timtate8520]

Love your screw “caddy” gotta get me one of those! I think I would enclose them gable ends to keep out the weather on your shelves there. Looks great but better yet… functional! 👍

[@billk6811]

Interesting & educational, thank you !

[@keithandlindabaldrey7413]

Another great project completed. We were surprised that you didn’t use the log jack to lift the roof rather than “muscles but Tito” when you first started lifting the corners. Great job.

[@nickhubbard3671]

Great structure - fun!

[@marthamorrison7380]

Love your videos.

[@doreendoreen3857]

You could extend the roof out at the sides to make more storage space. :-) :-)

[@cdennisb]

Another terrific build! Love how you imagine things and just get it done! Nice Job!

[@johnhamilton3987]

Really cool, in the future maybe you will just side the two sides for storage. But I think it will workout really well looks nice

[@janpiper3068]

Legs yup that's a good idea

[@beckybarker9780]

In your past videos you show how you live and tell us your cost for medical, food, fuel and other things, but my question is since your not working how to you pay for those items? Your work is definitely fascinating keep it up!

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

I'd say , Adequate savings,, Patreon, nearly 3 million views, advertising $ , donations/ect...... I own country property too and have a lot of tools/ equipment, make decent $ & pretty avid outdoors but I haven't been able to afford doing this kinda stuff. . . .

[@richardwhite4277]

It looks so much bigger on the ground!

[@sandratweedale2579]

Just so entertaining! Such imagination that always leads to something way too cool. You sir are wildly creative. Always smile when I see you’ve posted a new vlog.

[@potatopotatoeOG]

Glad youtube recommended this to me. Congrats on your build! Your hardwork paid off well!

[@bratwurstbuster]

Tito the Tusken Raider....lol

[@jayscholl4193]

All I have to say brother is I just binge watched all your videos within a 24 hour period and as long as you keep up your passion you are gonna blow up. I for sure am putting out the word to help promote you. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@jjudy5869]

Well, I am disappointed that the ATV shed roof is no longer free floating. I do understand snow loads, safety and all. It was great while it lasted. It made me smile every time I saw it. What other great, quirky ideas you got?

[@craptacularflea]

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y N̶I̶G̶H̶T̶ MORNING! time for a new ringworm!

[@StratOvation]

Excellent as always Ryan, hope you don't get hammered by the front that's heading our way from Wisconsin.

[@fishguyry6904]

I've always dreamed of making the jump out of modern society and back to the woods. You make it look easy. Sure it has highs and lows, but the peace you must have. What are the ways you make money to keep your dream alive?

[@thatbodymechanic]

"Man Cabin" You're welcome 😄

[@lowlifechris5833]

Cover the sidewalls with selves for all the stuff.

[@Downeastwaves]

Oh Goodie! Thanks for this build!

[@househen1]

I love your videos! You are so talented in so many avenues. Sure wish you would do more than one video per week.

[@nicksun424]

I always lose track of time watching these videos. I just wish you had more subscribers since you put so much effort into your vids

[@Bcc0rg]

your videos are great... it's 2am and I am still watching! Future mod for the quad/tool shed, how about adding a couple of cat-slide sides and a canvas door on each end, it would help with rigidity and give you more covered space for a little extra lumber/work!

[@fricstix7072]

Great build. If possible I would have tried making it a bit taller so It's above my head when driving and walking

[@susanj8158]

Super cool build! As always :)

[@jusike633]

Enjoyed as always, your skills with chainsaw and really out there. I messed around with one, fire wood and all. carved a chair you know jus killing time, nothing like this. KEEP it up.

[@lindapetersen1800]

RYAN HELLO THERE WWWOOOOOOWWW THIS IS AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephaniewilson3955]

How sensible to get the wood chips down before the ground turns to mud. I would put a full wall on the side of the prevailing wind just to keep things dry, but you do you.

[@kevinkay8217]

Think I would have gone 8’ so you don’t have to duck down to get in and out. Awesome job though 👍👍

[@jamescrow6508]

I'm still waiting to see a root cellar to make storing food easier year round

[@gravesupnorth7668]

Love the videos! Would it be possible for you to make a video on, the camera you use. laptop and editing software. Also a brief discussion on the general process of all that to help out me and I'm sure other people that would love to do what you do, thanks!

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Well done. Like that you went this direction. Close off the triangles on the ends?

[@saltyshellback]

What's for dinner? I still want to try some glop soup.

[@survivingtheweekend7776]

Just an idea for the small logs, how about " adirondak chairs"?

[@FreeFinca]

Awesome, but disappointed you didn't shoot the straps off 🤣

[@joecallahan3379]

Needs some slab wood on the gable ends, keep the weather off your tools and supplies, a small tweek, lol

[@J1I9M7M4Y]

Cave/cabin= Cavin!

[@063317Art]

Enclose the ends to protect the end shelves
