[@paulinepurves858]

Looks great everything you need while you build your cabin keep them coming

[@karleenwebb2893]

Wow you guys did fantastic, I’m really impressed with your setup, keep on trucking guys ,

[@cabinlife6595]

thanks so much...really appreciate the encouragement.

[@DeonMakene]

I am definitely writing notes down. I'm currently in the middle of designing my own little wall tent.

[@karenwahlenberg901]

Great job. Looks like heaven

[@EcoNeighbor]

Love the tour. I am taking notes. Thanks for sharing.

[@cabinlife6595]

No worries ... there will probably be a part 3 about how it was to live in it and things we would change

[@Tiger74147]

AWESOME SETUP! Does it insulate enough for an air conditioner, like a mini-split? Southerners need to know haha.

[@jouzel8951]

Wow! Nice set up, I live year round in a fifth wheel in the Canadian Rockies. You have it dialed!

[@cabinlife6595]

Cool I miss the mountains. How do you deal with the bitter cold there.

[@jouzel8951]

@@cabinlife6595 We have a wood stove and burn a lot of wood!

[@pricehomes]

The place looks amazing!

[@bobrankin7984]

Good tour!

[@janmattison3425]

Nice set up.

[@bruceshearer1719]

Great video....thank you,Sir.....

[@easyoutgrid]

Hey brother I just found your KZbin video and I just subscribed to your channel. And I want to say you give me hope. And you give me a Fighting Chance because I have a wall tent and I've been going crazy because I don't see nobody living in one. And now things to your video I know I could do it.

[@rosemorden3969]

Can we guess what you are planning? Is it a barn for chickens? Or a bunkie for me to come & visit?

[@cabinlife6595]

it's not a barn ... yet. and sorry the bunkie will have to wait till spring... lol

[@JadyA]

This is phenomenal! Do you ever have any mice issues of them getting in?

[@cabinlife6595]

No never found a mouse in the house... But we do have cats that go a nightly mouse hunt...lol

[@WhittleLink]

So cool you guys!!

[@cabinlife6595]

thanks.. it's been an adventure. but so worth it

[@JoeStrunk-po1nd]

You have a nice ideal life. Congrars

[@rickhall517930]

Niee! How is it in the heat and humidity? I'm building in Ecuador and it's between 70-80 degrees year round with high humidity. I'm wondering if a tent will be too hot in that type of climate.

[@cabinlife6595]

It can get pretty warm when the sun is shining.. The wood stove brings down the humidity to around 20 or 25 when it's 95 % outside. The fly helps with the heat a bit ... We are going to try a portable a/c unit this summer. See how that turns out.

You know the saying: Home is where you hang your hat. (JF)

[@noahriding5780]

How do you avoid getting eaten by bears n stuff when you go live out in tents and stuff in the wilderness? Thank you.

[@cabinlife6595]

Well our dog Dexter does a great job of making sure we never see any wild life... I know there are bears and coyotes here because I've seen them on other people's properties. But haven't seen any signs of wild life on our property.

[@chickensandwich1589]

Kitties!!!

[@jacobortwine7063]

Way cool set up. I didn't have the money to build a deck for mine unfortunately. How do you stop getting water inside from the chimney.? My stove is all rusty from the water that comes inside. Also i was wondering if you have any cool ideas on how to make a cheap deck / foundation??

[@cabinlife6595]

Sorry for the late response. We had a rain cap on the chimney. But it still got rusty . The black pipe isn't good for outside use . Especially for a full-time basis.

[@cabinlife6595]

Stainless pipe would be much better ... but much more money. If your ground is level you could use pallets for a tent base.and the put plywood on top. Just a thought

[@feimrse]

What brand and size is your tent? Where did you yet it from. I am looking yo do something similar. Thank you

[@cabinlife6595]

It's from Airdre canvas in alberta. It's a 16 x20 with a 5 foot porch... So 16 x 25 total. The walls are 5 ft plus a 12 inch sod cloth but I raised it up and my walls are 6ft 6 inch.

[@feimrse]

@@cabinlife6595 I like how you utilized the space and got 3 bedrooms, living and a bathroom. Fantastic job

[@bullockov7961]

What are you going to do for freeze protection on your water system?

[@cabinlife6595]

There is a 1000 ltr blader under the bed. So we only use the tote until it ftreezes

[@bullockov7961]

What about installing a bit of flashing above your electrical panel as a shield in case of water ingress from above? You know…in case Murphy’s law strikes during a bad wind storm or something.

[@-_-unseen-_-]

putting your solar components in a shed away from your main living area would be a lot safer.

[@thomastaylor2513]

How big is that tent

[@davidtettleton2732]

What about soot falling from air to canvas...any problems?

[@cabinlife6595]

It does make a little mess ... But it's not hot enough to do damage.

[@jongowing5775]

Where do you get the water, did you have a well dug?

[@jongowing5775]

Nevermind, asked to soon lol

[@cabinlife6595]

We haul our water ... but will have a well soon

[@sallyclay1974]

U have to be handy in rural areas😢😅

[@kathymccoy5935]

I've got everything u needs except for that

[@paulac7802]

Better put some sandbags on you solar wind might tip it.

[@cabinlife6595]

Thats good thinking..I was worried about that but even after the hurricane that hit us..it's been very stable... The trees do block alot of wind though. Cheers.

[@studlygrish]

What is the size of your wall tent L X W

[@cabinlife6595]

It's a 16x25 the first 5 feet is supposed to be a porch area but we turned it into part of the living area.

[@vincespell]

Nice setup but cats in the woods is not a good decision, they are vulnerable to hawks, racoons, eagles, foxes and just about everything else

[@cabinlife6595]

It is always a concern most of the cats stay close to the house and do a good job of keeping the mice down. The dogs also do a good job of keeping the wild life way.. We don't see much in the way of wild animals. Even the chickens have been safe so far.

[@filcanjourney936]

Hi David how are you….

[@cabinlife6595]

I am good. I just checked out your Chanel Filcan. very cool.

[@davidalbright7335]

You do not have a lithium ion battery. Your battery is lithium iron phosphate or LiFePo4 - a totally different and safer chemistry than lithium ion.

[@kathymccoy5935]

How do u wash clothes u need u a potable washing machine

[@cabinlife6595]

Unfortunately the laundmat is our friend at the moment.

[@clairea-t7045]

I've lived like this. It's a lot of work for mom. Many inconveniences. I don't have a lot of respect for the men who think this is "Good enough" especially when there's kids involved. Got your butt moving mister! Your not getting any younger.
