I left the big city of Toronto to move onto 40-acres of Canadian wilderness with a magical river. I am building an off-grid homestead with multiple log cabins and structures from the timber on the land.
To all my subscribers, STRENGTH AND HONOUR! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲

Have you got river rocks? Bring one back up the slope each time you swim and chuck it in the track. Or start building a pile for your outdoor kitchen /BBQ…

[@milas6487]

Just don't put them in a fire or you're in for an explosive suprise!

Good job

[@jasonborn867]

Those river rock slabs are ideal for making stone walkways kinda like laying commercial pavers around decks and porches. A river rock path out to Thor's Red Oak makes an easy stroll for the gnome!

[@Rockhopper1]

James, beware of procrastination through excessive activity. It's a common pitfall. Prioritise your life-support work before winter arrives. As I've mentioned repeatedly, a house needs to breathe, so please install proper ventilation. We don't want to see headlines about a KZbinr succumbing to CO2 poisoning due to inadequate airflow. Proper ventilation also helps reduce interior mould. Consider using Reflectix instead of sheep's wool for the door. It's thinner and lighter. For the doorway area, take inspiration from Antarctic and Arctic dwellings: create a porch-like space for storing damp gear and cold-weather kit. As you lack a porch or airlock to prevent cold air ingress, consider using steel pipes to create a thick, shower curtain-like barrier inside the door. This heavy curtain reduces draughts when entering or exiting and provides a changing area for wet or snow-laden gear. In summer, you can tie it up. Royal Navy ships still use this technique on cold expeditions, which is where I learnt it. On your trail to the car park, nail markers at head height on trees to denote the path. This aids others in finding you during emergencies. Lastly, review your footage from last winter to gauge snow height. You may need to protect the house's footings with gaiters. Your progress looks splendid, but please prioritise life-support projects while time allows. Examples include: Installing a water butt Building a log store Constructing a raised platform for solar panels, with hard-wired connections to the house for charging your battery banks You're doing an excellent job overall. Keep up the good work, but remember to focus on these crucial preparations for the winter ahead.

[@darienneflint9354]

@@Rockhopper1 excellent advice. Living in oz no such extreme weather. I just hope wood fire installed asap. Agree a porch needed even if only to store dry wood. But agree lots of wet snow gear could cause mouldy atmosphere

[@littleredhen7744]

Yes!!! This, so much this. Once winter is upon you things will be much more difficult. It makes me cringe not seeing a wood pile close. It nice to be able to buy wood cut and split but you should always have a few cord extra in case you can’t get it from someone else. I lived for a year cooking on a wood stove very similar to the one you just bought and I always needed kindling and small wood to get the fire started after I got home from work with 3 hungry teenagers. Something to think about for later down the line… sun mar makes a great composting toilet for when you want to impress your potential homestead wife. Again, I wouldn’t suggest it if I hadn’t used one myself.

[@warrenpage1242]

While you are probably right, dont forget that he started this build in November, so he is well aware what to expect with the upcoming winter.

[@Boga217]

A simple pole barn plywood roof and tarps..big enough for atv/maintenance and wood/tool storage. An icy buried atv/snow mobile is useless, definitely need dry wood storage.

[@elizabethmckenzie6977]

Good morning James. I love watching your videos. I am a 77 year old women and have built homes and renovated too many to count. I also have a multi saw that vibrates and it is amazing.

I apologize if this is a repeat, but I would suggest you take the glass out of the new stove, and get a spare one cut from an auto glass store! We all do our best to load the stove safely but Ive had a log slip and crack my glass just before bed time. It is a dangerous hassle and you live further from amenities than I do! I keep a spare for my home stove and my cabin stove now!! Things are really coming together! By far my most watched channel now! Keep up the good work Ooga-booga!!!!

[@dermody2]

Don’t forget to vent your roof! Drilling holes towards the top side of your squirrel blockers near the underside of the plywood. Cover the holes with screening to keep out bugs and mice. Aluminum screening works best, because mice can bite through the vinyl stuff. Leave about 1-1.5 inches of space between the underside of the roof and your insulation for air movement. Make sure it’s vented at the crown of the roof as well. Otherwise, condensation will happen, dripping water on the inside of the ceiling. It can cause a major moisture problem. I’ve literally heard water dripping inside of unvented roofs.

[@wildhomestead]

OH YES SIR! THAT IS THE PLAN, STAN. ROOF HAS A VENTED RIDGE CAP AND GOING TO PUT IN VENTS IN THE BLOCKS AT THE BASE OF THE RAFTERS SO AIR CAN FLOW UP OVER THE INSULATION. THANK YOU FOR THIS SAGE ADVICE GOOD SIR DERMODY! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲

I'm glad you finally ate a trout. In one of your earlier videos you said that you felt like they were your pets and didn't think you would be able to eat one. As a fly fisherman (fishing primarily for trout), I hoped you would change your mind so you would realize what you were missing out on!

[@douggibson9084]

Great video James. Just a thought, take some peppermint oil and infuse the upper bates over the windows and doors. This will detour rodents for looking for an entrance into the cabin. Also infused cotton balls around the base of the cabin. Have fun!

[@asteria4279]

Ha. Peppermint does nothing to deter a determined rodent except make it smell better as it squeezes by. Same for dryer sheets and other "natural" things. Solid metal mesh is the only way to keep them out.

[@cath7336]

Thank you James. When life gets heavy, your joy and pleasure in the simple things are uplifting. And, you're doing a brilliant job on the cabin, with every decision and detail carefully considered. Well done ❤

[@scottmaxwell403]

Love your channel James! and love your passion for reading books. My wife and I are from US. I know you have been thinking about creating an air flow / views through your trees to keep mosquitoes down in the spring. But consider the fact this may cause excessive wind and snow drifts in the winter (last winter was mild in comparison). Also, as you may know tree roots keep the soil from eroding from river banks etc. Some of those trees are very old and you will never be able to replace them in your life time. So be stratigic with which ones you fell. :) May the gods bless you, the old gods and the new! ;)

[@jampako]

You clearly underestimate the population of skeeters in northern ontario. He has 100s of thousands of trees. Calm down

[@elrobo3568]

George Constanza ( a leading expert in shrinkage) said that shrinkage is a serious thing! I live in bear country and have seen bears rip front doors to shreads, tear car doors off and rip roofs of of cars. The meatier the front door the better, good job. If you have to leave the cabin for a long time put a bear board in front of the door on the floor. (piece of plywood with nail's driven through). You might consider drilling some 2 inch holes in the "bird boards" you are putting in and backing with metal screen so the roof can breathe.

[@jat2409]

Just a heads up if you were not thinking about this tip. When at our place during winter, we cook almost all our meals on the wood stove. We purchased a laser red heat thermometer to aid us in perfect culinary cooking, ha ha. There is always a kettle of water on the stove for hot water when needed, coffee, tea or even dish water. I too am building our place , which we bought raw with noting on it, it is coming along nicely. I love your series, your good humor, your tenacious work ethic, but mostly I admire your drive in exploring life out of ones comfort zone. That's when life really begins!

[@blackroseraven5]

Oh my good gracious! James cut down those big ass trees blocking that gorgeous view of the ridge line!!! Look at those trees changing!!! Ugh so beautiful!

frogs hopping around your property is an insanely good sign for the vitality of your property. They are the first species to die off when the environment becomes toxic. When you don't see frogs around, you know something is up with your land!

You are right on the gap above the door! My brother in laws Coffee mug collection was sitting on the top of the kitchen cabinets! There was a 3 inch gap when he put them up there! 2 years later!

Good morning fine sir! Absolutely get the 4fak fresh air kit for your stove! Your cabin will be to air tight for proper draft unless you have a window cracked open!

[@andrewmaiden3738]

Love the channel. A tip to James and anyone else that may not know! When using Sealants/Mastic/Bitumen etc it is much better to seal or the area needing sealing by bedding or setting the joint into the sealant wherever possible. You get a better seal and less chance of voids.

[@dubl_afpv6270]

It's official! Each episode I'm going give you a tip or suggestion. You should cut the tips of your rafters at a 45 degree or whatever it is to make them flush with the facia. It looks cleaner and isn't being weathered. Little tough to do now that they're up but I'd still do it. I have another suggestion but I guess you'll have to wait till next week! Oohga Boohga

Just a suggestion when it comes to aesthetics. When doing the exterior trim around your windows, make the top and bottom trim the same lengths to match. You currently have the top trim extending edge to edge of your side trim and the bottom extending from the inside edge of your side trim. Just a suggestion. Love the videos.

[@christopherrobbins3018]

I do agree with several other comments though, because as someone whose family includes loggers and sawmill owners, you are way, way, way behind on stockpiling, seasoning, and protecting firewood for the winter!!!

[@danieloliver20]

I believe James said he is buying split and seasoned firewood from someone.

[@terridionne7729]

Yes he did mention that in one of his videos he is buying wood this year

[@jampako]

Not only that but he bought a norwood hd38. No way he has any trees on his property even close to 38" diameter. As a forester I can tel his property was logged recently and knowing where he is, Trees rarely get over 24" diameter there. His sawmill is way oversized for the timber he has available. There's also barely any hardwood for him to even use for firewood. No mature oak or maple. He's up near the Sault.

[@tomfast87]

I am no builder but the framing around the windows and doors would look a little less clunky (as James put it) cut on 45° angles

Since you're gone spend all winter in the Cabin I suggest you do double sided door and put insolation in between it would warmer in the winter since the door will be the biggest wind flow Good luck.

[@JackHyland-d1u]

A big thumbs up for putting in your door so it opens outward. It does not take up any expensive real estate inside the cabin this way and it's much harder for a bear ( or some other varmint ) to break into your home. Nice job!

[@alisonwhitefordbellbabd8427]

Tip for today. Bugs? For in tent or cabin - use a little glass dish half fill with apple cider vinegar in it then cover with clingfilm and pierce about four random holes in the top. This attracts flies etc and kills them.

[@grinnerzakaminicide1201]

I can attest to this working well. I left the apple cider for the chooks open by accident and it killed A LOT of insects in one night.

[@RAYplaysMC]

Hello Good Sir James, Various reasons can cause a generator to make a clicking sound. A defective battery or a battery that is too old and nearing its lifespan (which I doubt is the case here) can cause the generator to make a clicking sound. Insufficient voltage caused by corroded or loose cables can also cause a clicking noise. These are just some of the abnormal noises that you can hear from your generator. If you feel your generator has become noisier than usual, don't ignore the issue and immediately call your technician. Sometimes, the unusual noises could be an indication of a serious complication that can severely damage the generator. Hope You have a Good weekend ! Ooga Booga !

if you dont want to see screws in the door once you paint it or finish it , good tip is sink the screws a little deaper and use wood puddy mixed with fine wood shavings and fill holes and sand back , hardly notice it once finished

You can put a thick wooden ruler between the wheels of the trailer, so that the wood comes out 40-50 cm to the left of the trailer but also to the right of it, and that way it won't tip over, because the wood won't allow it once it touches the ground .
