Tour Of Cheap Off Grid Cabins

If you are looking for a cheap cabin to go off grid or a tiny house to minimize expenses these cabins and tiny homes may be for you. Prefab homes may not be the cheapest but can be simple. Let’s take a tour of these off grid cabins.

Funny you mention the sound of rain on a tin roof. My grandfather was deaf, he had surgery to help his hearing and the first night he was home, he heard rain on the tin roof, he cried. That story stayed with me for years, the house my husband and I own had a concrete tile roof, after it was badly damaged in the 2011 Canterbury (NZ) quake and we had to rebuild, I insisted on a tin roof in honour of my Grampa, I still think of him every time I hear the rain on the roof. He died in 1983, exactly one month to the day after my father, and I value every memory I have of both of them.

Your comment made me think of my own grandfather and the times we stayed at my great-grandparents' old wooden house which had a galvanized roof. At nights the rain would patter on the roof and the howling coastal winds would kind of shake the house (it was really old😅) and rattle the front door. As a child, it was a little scary. But i look back on those memories and wish I could travel back in time 😊

Good tour! I have heard about these pre built cabins. Of course, I think building one from scratch has a lot more value. Not only does it help build your skill set, but it also gives one an attachment to the home that a pre-built could never accomplish. That's why I like what you have done. As always, thanks for sharing your videos! Rick From Virginia

[@offgridbo]

I couldn’t agree more Rick! But for some these could be a good option!!

[@rickfromvirginia]

@offgridbo I agree with what you are saying. I just didn't want people to think that what you had built was not a good idea. Might just be me, but I think the hard way of building it yourself has its own special rewatds. I apologize if my remarks came out to negative. Rick

I’m a huge fan of portable/modular buildings, so I love seeing these videos. I’ll probably buy some land and build out a custom finished portable/modular building for an off-grid cabin at some point. Thanks for sharing!

[@lorihamlin3604]

I just inherited some wooded acreage with creeks running though it…perfect for a cabin. I got some good ideas. Thx

[@mamawinterborahae7629]

Thank you so much for these tours, it makes it easier to find just what I’m looking for and the price point! 🥰

[@CoyoteSticksbyWILEY]

Nice tour and these cabins all seemed fairly reasonable in price. I have to say, your cabin location is beautiful with or without snow. Just seems so peaceful and soothing out there in the woods. Snow, rain, sunshine, falling leaves, rustling trees, it is all good. Have a great day. Regards, Randy in Arizona

[@rf9119]

Great tours and it gives me hope someday I’ll be in the mountains with my own shack!

[@ArielleViking]

Interesting to see the different prefab options though yours certainly has far more character. That one with the loft and balcony is the nicest. 👍

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Nice Lay Outs & Fairly Priced, Thanks Bo ! Great Read 👍 ATB T God Bless

[@KarenWahlenberg-pv7xz]

Great video. Beautiful place you have there. Be blessed brother

[@Unclejojo330]

Great video,always good to see what’s out there for cabin idea’s and what can be done if anyone decides on a pre made cabin.

[@offgridbo]

Yeah! Plus it’s kind of fun to just go look my friend!

[@kirkterwilliger6407]

Thanks Bo, it's nice to get cabin ideas. 👍

[@offgridbo]

My pleasure Kirk! Thank you for watching my friend

[@cabinman]

If you have the skills it would be much better to build something, but this is a great option for those who don’t have those skills. I have those skills and enjoy building things myself, but knowing what I know it’s difficult for a beginner to build something as well as a skilled person. So this is a great option for a lot of people.

[@offgridbo]

I couldn’t agree more my friend! Thank you for watching

[@paulbetka2966]

NICE TO SEE YOU BACK IN ACTION BO. MISSING A FRIEND 😥 THANKS FOR THE TOURS OF TINY HOUSES 👍🏻✌️

[@nourltuber]

Great video Bo! I liked the "re-view" of the cabins. I guess building them would be my choice! Also, I prefer snow ❄️ than ☔! Dick was the man! He was the first to pen the words- putting self reliance on TRIAL". Have a great week and stay dry!

[@offgridbo]

He really was the man! I can still remember seeing him in PBS, snow will be back very soon my friend lol

[@williamsnow1531]

Awesome video Bo. I was very surprised at the prices of those tiny cabins. They are very affordable. Here in Canada you could add another 6000 to 8000 on those prices.

[@frankpettinato2324]

This video is very much appreciated!!

[@offgridbo]

You are very welcome Frank! Thank you for watching!

Thank you for posting the prices. Too many videos do not. Good work.

[@JustLiving2018]

Hi Bo...I love these videos.

[@HarshmanHills]

these have their places. i had one on a property several years ago. it was just the shell when i bought it. i got it enclosed and power ran. it worked nice for what i needed...then uncle sam came

[@offgridbo]

What happened!? They make you remove it??

[@HarshmanHills]

@@offgridbo the state claimed i owed tax money, which i didn't and had to sell to pay for it. then ended up getting money back but property had already been resold

[@BlitherVids]

Hey Bo - don't worry about it not being a typical video. We like it better when you mix it up!

[@cojaxart8986]

Bo, just found your channel today! What a treat! My wife and I have been retired for about 6 years now, and I am ready to leave this hell hole of a city and literally head to greener pastures. Been looking at going off grid for about a year now, but we are taking our time… just checking out what’s out there. Looking at small acreage FSBO. In possibly Idaho, Oregon, Montana and possibly some other areas. “Go West, Young Man!” It would be nice to email you if that’s available. I have some questions that I’d like to ask you about off grid life and set up. 😊How can I do that? Hope to chat soon! Jack

[@danielleterry2331]

That 3rd one is screaming Danielle this is your dream cabin!

[@LittleCabinintheYukon]

Wow! Yeah, I expected them to be quite a bit more. I haven't looked at these kinds of things in Canada, but I'd be interested to see the price difference.

[@offgridbo]

Right!! And they seem to be built better than the shed ones you see

[@xxpyroxx1670]

not too bad for the one with the upstairs could actualy make a couple rooms up there if u wanted. one a lil bigger for the parents and one for the kid. i would still want some plugs and wires ran tho for a power system. would be cool to make a lil steam engine generator for eletricity. that runs on firewood then could have a well pump an hot water.

[@Cam-wi3tp]

Wish we could get something liker this here in Florida.... With all the mobile homes here, you wouldn't think it would be difficult but very strict on hurrican code building. These would never pass

[@NarrowPathTraveler]

Thanks for the video, Bo. And thanks for sharing your life with us. I love how cozy that little oil painting looked. Did you make the frame for it? Be blessed my friend. :)

[@offgridbo]

Of course! And thank you for being here! It means a lot. No I did not make the frame but I’m pretty sure the picture came from one of my thrift store adventures like most things lol

[@NarrowPathTraveler]

@@offgridbo Great finds, Bo! Your cabin is looking so comfy! hehe

[@sputtube1]

Be blessed

Nice vlog 👍👍👍👍

[@offgridbo]

Thank you my friend

[@mimiseeyou]

Are these insulated for that price? Thanks!

[@paulroberts1512]

Newton kansas has a lot of choices

[@teresaholland4790]

Does it include electricity wiring?

[@saturninc3786]

Hey Bo - interesting informations. Are these buildings insulated (the walls, roof and floor)? I find them rsather pricy. I remember when yiou did this some years ago but don't remember the exact prices, but thin it was less?? I like the option of a balcony on an upstairs floor/loft. They are interesting ideas for sure, altho some of the layouts seem somewhat unpractical... Thanks for sharing bro! Greetz Jason btw OMG all the snow is gone!!

[@offgridbo]

Most are insulated my friend, I do agree not the cheapest but cheaper than I expected after the price of lumber the past few years. The snow will be back very soon I’m sure haha

[@saturninc3786]

@@offgridbo a break in the snow can help you cut up and split some more wood for the fireplace probably? Do you remember the aproximate difference in price with the last time you filmed there? PS did ya see instagram chat messages? Take care bro - greetz Jason

[@robertbrewster6890]

Ya super affordable sheds for sure! The cabin is looking good as always especially with that fire a burnin’. Love the background music 👍 Thanks Bo!

[@oliverstianhugaas7493]

Would be real cool to know what dealership or mill these are sold by since, you know, there are a lot of people in the USA.

[@offgridbo]

If you watched to a little passed the half way mark I did

[@diligentharvesters8363]

Where did you say these cabins were?

[@zacharyhart7025]

What about insulation!? Delivery costs? You gotta at least put them on leveled blocks too

[@bliz75]

Definitely a good alternative for people who have limited time and resources. Good video. God bless

[@offgridbo]

Couldn’t agree more! Thank you for watching my friend !

[@markandroena]

The company that makes them?

[@waynespencer5952]

Hey Bo . Ron from Mohawk valley sheds is a great guy . If your interested I have 8 off grid cabins on my property from Mohawk sheds all different styles if you interested at Taki ng a look at them let me know .

[@Chubbydippin]

Thankyou for the tour and your thoughts. Thought the prices would be higher both due to inflation and the location(east) they are being sold from.

[@offgridbo]

That’s exactly what I thought my friend! Thank you for watching

[@edwardmason6957]

Where are you out of

[@wobdeehomestead1464]

Those cabin prices seem pretty reasonable, I was surprised as well.

[@offgridbo]

Yeah I definitely thought so considering the price of lumber ect. But they are Amish built so that probably explains it

[@direwolftamer1225]

Where are these located?

[@tennesseegirl5539]

I wish I had more property. I’d love to get one of these.

[@offgridbo]

Do you plan on getting more property down the road Nick?

@@offgridbo Definitely not in New York Bo. As much as I love this state, I hate the politics.

[@user-hl2dy3bt7j]

bet these have doubled in the last year

[@BS.-.-]

The biggest issue I see with those log cabins is at best theres 2in of foam in the roof. That's going to be under R16 where in your/my climate you should be having closer to a R49-65. Poor insulation under a metal roof will mean mold from condensation.

[@offgridbo]

I could see that, BS where are you from again?
