I installed this little silicone sponge holder that hangs off my kitchen faucet. Your afternoon was pretty productive too, I suppose.
HAHAHA
VP, you’re the reason I discovered FF
- thank you man!
🤣
Where did u get it from?
😂😂😂😂
That dog really knows how to make itself comfortable. It actually tucked itself into the sleeping bag.
I like how he never really ran off. Worked as a security guard for any potential nosy squirrels.
What is the breed?
@@iamwil6914 Jack Russell terrier.
Your doggie is really keeping an eye on things.
My brother had a Parsons Russell, he would stick around us when we went into the woods, always believed him to be a "people dog." He didn't like the noise of power tools, but would stay around instead of going exploring on his own. Miss you pal.
Like that you used a battery operated saw & drill, the lack of an internal combustion engine really made the video easier to watch.
After you get the roof weatherproofed, consider putting some extensions on the bed frame for an outdoor bench or cabinet, or firewood lean to.
I have to say this is one of few Cabin builds I've enjoyed watching. When I built mine back in 1986 I put those Hinges on the Inside making it harder for someone to enter and finally used a Galvanized Lock system against thieves. I use to leave the door unlocked but I had a theft problem. The thief was eventually arrested when Deer Camera's became available in 1999. Try a Peppermint Mixture sprayed on the outside of the door and inside to keep bugs at bay. 1 quart distilled water, one cup Vodka and 30 drops of Peppermint Oil. Mix well and then use a cheap Spray bottle to spray.
Minimalistycznie,ale pięknie.Bardzo mi się podobają👏
Nice cabin and a sweet dog. Don't forget to leak proof the roof

No rock footings?
Going thru some mental hell’th issues atm. These build videos are like medicine, it’s weird but I know I’m not alone.
I’ve watched a lot of cabin builds but I’ve never seen anyone build hinges like that. Very cool!
Agreed!!!
Yes
Yeh Foresty is a very smart guy
Yes!!!
Use old barrels for shingles
Are you kidding me!! Just when we think we’ve witnessed all your talents, you go and pull yet another one out of the bag. Insane, just insane Foresty
I always see people make videos of them building structures like this out in the woods, and NOBODY talks about the downsides like bugs and spiders and whatnot. They all just make it look as picturesque and perfect as possible. Very refreshing to hear someone talk about their shelter honestly
Keep on keeping on. And careful, don't get caught by DNR or the like.
Right, foundation up on blocks, rocks, etc. Absolutely.
love the idea that you left a note for however finds your shelter. Never know if it could save someone like in a jam. I make hunting stacks about the same way. I don't even lock them and leave a ledger in them. I'm always surprised when I go to one and find a new log in one for someone that took refuge in it. in this day and age they even leave a email address. it warms my heart when someone leaves a message that they stayed in one on a bad day just to make it throw the day. made many new friends this way. They've even shared their harvest with me because they hug out for a few hours in one of my natural blinds. Heck I've even recruited some of them to help make new ones
You are awesome man. God bless you
Nice!❤😉
That's how you do it!.
Like an old world bothy!
Awesome and cool and this is great for people who have little nature experience and GPS at least until daycomes safety is me
I'm an asphalt paver for 20+ years now and I respect hard work and being thorough, everyone thinks they have better ways until they actually go out and try to do it themselves.
Enough Said Friend
@@unjarredoutdoors5513 there you are... There's always one.
@@darkestbeforedawn8130 Unfortunately the world is full of idiots. Notice the ratio of likes to your comment and "unjarred". Unfortunately she is too dumb to get it.
I am so impressed with you. Hiking, cooking, sweet and patient with your pup, cabin building, and what an awesome fireplace!!
I like how you are both open about using power tools (a lot of wilderness hobbyists on youtube dont openly admit to using power tools) as well as conscious of the environment continuing in disuse and not leaving anything behind.
Outstanding effort Foresty...I'm a carpenter with 40 years experience and I give you a huge thumbs up for this...especially the door and hinge set up...great job
It sure is a great little build. Hinges like that are what we use, in metal of course, on our farm gates.
He was so matter of fact about building that, I was like.... 😳
That is great always something new as I Built my own log cabin alone in the wilderness, come and joined me at my channel
Extraordinary! The shot where you go inside and close the door and the dog can’t figure out where you went is magical!
Bwahahaha
Latest version of the blanket trick. 😄
The little dog is just adorable 🥰
I was in a pretty bad mood this morning. Your film put me in a better place. Thank you!
It turned out more than alright!
Incredible.
FF is top-tier content, and this video proves it.
That thing went together quicker than an Ikea folding chair! Really enjoyed the video!
😂
😄😅
Reminds me of the bunkers the VC built in Nam. Of course, they used bamboo.
This is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Thank you for showing all the hard work that went into this. By the size and shape one would think this is simple but it's anything but. This is truly masterful wood working skills. So much attention to detail. I especially love the dowels to keep everything in place. That thing ain't going nowhere. Applause my friend.
Yep i love the pegs too were they cedar
Rocks around the stove to create a thermal mass. Brilliant.🧙♂
Does it not make you rethink life a little when your little doggo is so happy being in a log cabin with you, they don't need anything else, just you. Makes you wonder why we all need so many things and so much technology to make us all happy.
Well, we're human, so we need mental stimulation and challenges. Of course, for some, that means they need nothing more than what was available 150 years ago, and are happy with no books, and no contact with the "outside world."
But I confess, I would become a weird person and slightly unbalanced if I were that cut off from information and other people.
I don't have to have a TV or radio... but look at us: communicating with each other, and gathering information via technology. Our lives would be quite barren without it.
I've lived for 5 months in a cabin without electricity or plumbing, and was very happy. I'd do it again in a flash. But I still had my guitar, books, my vehicle, and my sister next door... and my cell phone.
Can’t believe this is the first shelter like this you’ve ever built. You did an amazing job on it.
I like that you talked during the video, made it more friendly and inviting. It actually
caught my attention. All the others with no talking at all are relaxing, but also kind of mysterious.... Plus, that is such a cool woodstove idea!
I love this guy, this is definitely an educational video for anyone who wants to learn how to survive and build a log cabin in the woods. This guy is a highly intelligent man to do all of this.
You sir are a true craftsman. Love how Rocco did her part by starting on digging the outhouse!
😂😂
Lol
@burt2481 Cry some more.
@@K1OIK we all watch for different reasons and enjoy different things.
@@K1OIK You must not like dogs. My husband could not live without his blind guide dog. Please be kind.
This was amazing to watch!
And Rocko was an addition we didn’t even know we needed. Her adventures have been fun.
Loved the foreshadowing of this video appearing in previous.
I find my self coming back to this video quite often. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ey here we are again 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best part is definitely when he closes the door and Rocko goes running by wondering where he went. Classic doggo
@@K1OIK doggos are great. with what is happening in the world today, doggos are doublely great. was forest in this one??? lol.
@@K1OIK Sounds like someone has some insecurities about their masculinity 😂
If you don't like that people comment on a dog. Don't read the comments.
@@K1OIK 😂😂😂😂😂
@@K1OIK Even if that was true. Then don't read the comments. Or counter it and leave a "You're awesome Foresty" comment and be on your way. Pretty sexist to say everyone is a girl or "girly man" because we made a comment about a dog. 🤦♂
...and then he opened the door, doggo jumps into cabin, then door closes. LOL
What an awesome pup! (Nice shelter, too!)
Yeah, he looks very happy😃
@@kennethstover1741 It’s a girl.😊
Why do you care more about the dog than the cabin? Isn’t the cabin better
Sweet build..Rocco is absolutely adorable….especially on your pillow!
This has got to be the best video of this kind that we've ever seen so far! Congrats!
You are seriously too cool for this world. Man, is there anything you start that doesn't work? Brilliant, thanks for sharing 💡🙏👏👍
Strong as a fortress!! That dog is the cherry on this video. Part cat. Good little companion.
OMG the puppy is precious. Just loved him. Great video. Thank you
I've watched far too many log cabin builds since retirement and yes, yours is easily among the best of the best. But my take-away from this is the most precious dog on the internet/RUclips! Rocko will steal the heart of the coldest witch! She is priceless!
Thank you!
@@forestyforest what is the name of your jack Russell terrier
@@mehchocolate1257 Rocko!! Everyone knows that. Lol.
I think youll like what my son and I come up with
ruclips.net/video/qnRc-SGFirc/видео.html
Agree 😂😅😅
That's such a cool project. I love how the doggie immediately took your place as you made the bed
lol i thought that was funny also what a cute doggo
The dog was quite grateful you built him a nice little hut. He jumped right up and said now go build your own. 😂
She’s a great little character, isn’t she??
Dog just wants to be close to the man.
Typical haha
Thanks for the nice sharing, your support is very valuable to me.
Hi ! This was the first video of yours that I saw and I was amazed at your skills.
I honestly can't believe that I do not remember Rocco being in this video !
I have since enjoyed every video you have made. I am 64 yrs. old and am not able to hike at all anymore.
I sure do love your music and drone footage. I really like the cooking segments as well !
I await your next video. Thanks Foresty
Well done, FF. That woodstove is incredible. Pretty sure that was a Sawyer Beetle in addition to the mosquitoes keeping you awake. For rain, shakes on the roof would be my vote for sure. Also, if you come back to stay in winter you might want to install the door to open inward so a dump of snow doesn’t block you in. Love your channel.
Good thinking...
Nice job Forest! That little cabin turned out awesome.
Thank you!
That forest managed to get a human to build it a cabin.
That sir is a class A cabin! I really enjoyed watching your built. Your pup is a great companion. Thank you.
Precious 💕 dog he loves his owner, I'm gonna give this video a huge like.
This was an absolute legendary build. Well done man. 🙏
Use old barrels for shingles.
Yo Ricky J didn’t expect to see u here!
Use orange clay from the ground to seal cracks in walls and put a metal roof and add plywood to the inside of door and a window. Look up how they built tobacco barns in 1800s.
@@JustinKruger336 : That makes good sense, to use the old established technology that most people have forgotten.
Is orange clay about iron content in the soil, Sir? It’s not a technology that’s used in my area, so it’s the only thing I can think of that might be analogous. Just out of interest, when I finally get a little bit of time, I’ll take your suggestion to go look that up. It’s amazing how the ideas that everybody took for granted for so long, just get forgotten when we find something else that we like a little better. Shame about forgotten technologies.
@@daphneraven6745 orange clay is the dirt that occurs naturally in North Carolina and many other places many tobacco barns are still standing like other states. Back then there was endless oak and pine trees and other trees that are now rare and water proof.
You know what ... I can honestly say that I found that video to be one of the most engrossing ones that you ever made!!! I have to admit, I wasn't sure where you were going with the door hinges until the last moment -- nice!!! As for the insects, with the weather as wet as it was, it's really not all that surprising.
This guy helped me believe in myself. I never would have thought i could build a cabin like this until I saw him eating the same brand of Ramen as me
Well done. Looking forward to the video in which your dog builds the next one. You seemed to have had his complete attention.
You have the greatest story lines and do the things that others would like to do. A true adventurer. We love your channel
Yes we do. ☺️
Forresty Forrest he’s our man, he can build a cabin like nobody can!! Great job! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
Your work table deserves a 10! Bravo!
I’m so used to watching people build these shelters with nothing but a hatchet and a clay pot, when the chainsaw and drill came out I was like, “What is this futuristic magic!?!”
Watching futuristic stuff on RUclips, who would’ve thought lol.
those kind of videos are usually fake
@@mcspyd3r1how can you tell? I believe you I just don't want this genre to be another one of those "building swimming pools in the jungle" type scenarios.
I've seen a couple where I thought "wow how convenient for you to find the exact empty drum/rusty pipes to make a stove" or "you could not dig that much in a day"
I really enjoyed this video. The cabin turned out great. The wood stove and the door hinges were genius! 👌 It was super cute to see how you and Rocko interact - she is no doubt , a great companion.
A cabin build and an adorable companion. Life is good for ole Foresty.
Found you after watching Anna Uncharted. What a cool cabin build and your dog is the cutest!
Rocko! Barely older than a pup here. What a good girl. This was a great little cabin build.
I love the fact he can step out of his self made house and walk into his self made cabin with just a few steps. That must be a joyful sensation.
Make an old fashioned oil cloth. 😁
Not sure I can take much more of that puppy. The cuteness levels can't even be measured. Nice job on the little hut!
I'm madly in love!
Like so many on here, I'm impressed with your cabin. BUT the door hinges? Pure genius!!!!
You will come to regret not peeling the logs. The bugs under the bark will actually make noise during the night and it can keep you awake. I have built several cabins out on my property and my first one I did not peel the logs and I could hear the bugs too. I would suggest next time try to make a bed of small gravel under the bottom logs which will help defuse water down through the base and help keep the logs from rotting. As for shingles try buying a Froe for making shingles. Its cheap and will pay for it's self.
Wow, this was something I never expected from you but I'm so glad it exists. I really like watching these kind of build videos. I just love hard work. I could watch people do it all day!
LOL ditto! But you know, I feel like, by watching it, I've proved myself in a way, and earned and deserve some respect for the soul-centeredness and simple practicality I've just shown, too.
Brilliant!
What a great job you did! Awesome!
Respect for not using nails and plastic film for the roofing!
That was awesome dude. The stove was really well done.
Such a beautiful video Foresty. On so many levels. I'm hesitant and reluctant to say this is your best video ever but I want you to know it is very. very. good. different content, different production. something, but its very good. I very much appreciate the work you put in into building your structure. I very much appreciate the work you put into filming the process. You have ever right to be proud of what you built, its a beautiful structure, its a beautiful process. thank you for sharing. Thank you, continue the good work
Agreed
Absolutely
only thing I would have done different is burn the surface of bottom logs that have contact with the ground, reduces rotting caused by ground moisture - it won't prevent rot entirely, but greatly reduces it and prolongs the structure's lifespan
Yes indeed, however, he’s not going to be living there for 20 years 😉
There's the "I woulda guy".
@@deliman9710 pretty sure Foresty enjoys tips and tricks
@phil veburst He did ask for comments.
Did you get that idea from "My self Reliance" videos?
Yes larger logs is a must!
You are an artist with a chainsaw. Your hinges are brilliant. I especially loved the end note of leaving a log in a bottle for anyone else who might come along and benefit from your work! And bravo to your dog! Well done.
That's a cool cabin. Good job with a few modern tools to do some old timey work! One small suggestion if you live in a really cold area, a longer stove pipe will take advantage of heat that is otherwise lost. If you run it up to the ceiling and across to the other side it will put out much more heat!
Good point. I worked in an ancient courthouse in rural Nevada. They heated the big courtroom with a single wood stove and an iron tube 25 feet long across the room, radiating heat as it went out.
Also, capping the end of the pipe with a "T" section, or just a curved piece of sheet metal across the opening, keeps wind from blowing back down the pipe, as it just blows out the other side of the "T".
@@xxxYYZxxx Put another Tee on the inside right off the top of the stove and not that 90 degree bend, Close off the top and you should have a much more stable platform to place and cooking stuff and not that rocky round tube where it looked like that pot just might tip over.
Don't worry, it'll be PLENTY warm when it catches on fire because of all the "clearances to combustibles" issues! 😉🔥🛖🔥
I liked the suggestions of running the pipe across the room.
But keep it low to the floor to maximize the heat exchange since heat rises, and then run the vertical pipe up and along the inner wall and have it exit prior to the ceiling/roof - on the side wall to a standard vertical pipe with a vented cover to keep the rain and snow out, plus birds and insects.
My Wife had a 10' W x 12' L
x 14' H Barn style shed by Tuff Shed built for me to work on my projects and "writings" and I needed to design a heating unit to keep it warm during the winter and have utilized both the propane tank in 5 and 10 gal. as well as a 30 gal "oil' drum as the burners/stoves with great success for each one since the total area is only about 1,600 cubic feet since it has a Gambrel style roof.
I use 12" x 24" cast paver with aluminum foil between the floor and the walls to keep the heat transference to a minimum and also on the outside surface of the pavers to reflect the heat into 6he interior of the shop.
Finally, I just found a discarded
bbq/smoker and intend to tie it in to the heating system I now have since I can use it to cook with too.
Hope this helps someone with a solution for a heating unit for their shop or maybe even thier home in an emergency and the videos are here on You-Tube if you need them.
15:20 I like how FF lays down the sleeping bag on the bed and Rocko jumps right on it and give him a look like, "Okay, this is mine, but where are you going to sleep?"
I was wondering how you'd make the hinges. Good idea!
And you have a raised floor to keep out the creepy crawlies. Looks snug.
Love the pup. He's a champion.
This guy never disappoints sweeping me off my feet with his incredible talent, I'm amazed Bro... Thanks for the inspiration....
@@klopstockia186 🤣🤣
@Omehe Nwanneka SAME!
Sounds like love!
@@whbjr.6400 absolutely.... That's why I'm subscribed to this channel....
Love the visual Omehe Nwanneka.
That cabin will save someone's life. Man, the stove is icing on the cake.
Why the rock's around the stove? Keep it from starting the wall on fire?
@@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001 Those should soak up the heat and radiate it into the shelter, I'd think.
@@snakemain ohh I see. Thank you
Yeah. Keep that cabin for the homeless man.
@@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001 the rocks will absorb and radiate heat. It will help the cabin stay warm even after the fire dies down.
This cabin is amazing. I also will sleep better knowing Snow White and the 7 dwarfs will be out of the elements. Good job forest!
first time here and i think i found my favourite channel... friendly humble guy and a cute dog, what else do you need? hello from Bosnia
Cool project! I love this type of construction. A tip for next time, make all notches downward facing. Upward facing notches catch the rain, like pouring into a bowl, promoting rot and shortening the life of the joint. Downward facing notches are like turning the bowl upside down, allowing the rain to shed and run off the curved surface.
Well that makes sense, I never would have thought of that. You might be a genius 😁
Thanks and God bless you.
@@jude7321 Nah, the geniuses were those early builders who figured it out. I just came across the technique by accident once while studying log cabin construction, but it made sense to me. Thanks for your kind words!
@@billparrish4385
Welcome ❣️🌿🐦
Notches to what?
In response to the notches comment he did halving joints 1 up 1 down can you elaborate on how you mean
What can’t Forest do,this guy is amazing he can put his hand to anything and it’s always perfect.👍🏻👍🏻
100%
Look up Primitive Technology that guy is really good too
If it isn't perfect he won't put it out as a video Until he either fixes it or re- records it
I love terriers. Had a rat terrier growing up and she was such an intelligent and loving dog. Your Rocko seems very sweet! Always great to see that making mistakes is ok and part of the process. So many videos don't talk about that. And I never thought about the bugs!! 😱
Crackling fire and sizzling food. So relaxing.
It is awesome! You have incredible skills! Loved how Rocco jumped up on the bed and laid down on the pillow; 'I'm home'. Those that run into it will think 'wow, who built this!'
so on the roof to help waterproofing, make a mixture of the dirt (make mud) and mix in any loose gravel you can find and since you have lichens, mix those in as well. Make it about 6" thick and cover with a thin coating of the downed branches. The mud/gravel acts like a cement, the lichens grow and stabilize, the smaller branches reduce erosion. Nice job on the cabin.
Brilliant!
That’s approximately how I’ve seen roofs sealed up and it works.
Your pup is gorgeous. Love your shelter too.
Mesmerising to watch someone with skill, confidence & purposefulness create a little work of art as though it was something he did every day ...!
Seen a lot of log shelters on YT and honestly, this is one of the most innovative and aesthetically pleasing of the bunch. Really love the door. Hard to believe you have no experience at this. Thanks for the good vid.
Are these guys who build these on their own property?
@@anthaniehenry9415 Either on their own property or a property belonging to someone else with permission. Or so they say anyway. There are tons of them on YT.
agreed. he doesn`t even appear to fit the stereotype of an outdoorsmen but he definitely has some skills. the little dog just makes the video all the more appealing.
this is a good skill, survival in the forest
@@anthaniehenry9415 Over here at western N.C (Looks a lot like where he is at) its not uncommon for people to own 20-30 acres of woodland with their actual house properties. (Some go to the thousands) These are residential rural areas.
The dog is absolutely adorable.
Rocco is guilty of too much cuteness!! 😻 greetings from Texas!
I can not be the only one sitting here watching this new episode of Swiss Family Foresty like 😲. You are such a humble Jack of All Trades! Was this just public land or did you buy yourself a little parcel? This was so awesome. There seems to be nothing you can't do. Hope you are feeling closer to 100% than the 80% you have been at. Awesome addition to your normal content! ✌🏽
Is there anything you aren’t good at? Lol. Constantly blown away by your skills. Just wow.
Seriously!
the little tap handle is adorable
Lincoln Logs were fun. Now I see the practical lessons they also taught us.
The editing on this is excellent- it shows just enough to give an idea how to do it, without getting too long, and adds a few cute scenes with the dog. Really well-paced and put together. If Foresty ever wants to settle down, he can move into film editing as a profession. Or just building cabins. Or fixing cars, or....
The ingenuity of Foresty amazes me. Probably my favourite video so far.
I think my fav “character” in this video was the pup checking things out along the way 😉
Oh how I wish I were 30 years younger, I would love to live in this cabin. You’re a very talented builder and you are living a dream life. Your puppy is adorable too.
A man can do almost anything with a good buddy helping him. That's really cool.
Looks cool. Really amusing to see how the doggy made herself so quickly at home
The rocks around the stove is very well thought of, once they get hot would keep the cabin warm. good job
Good Lord, Forest I've been impressed by your building skills before in the past but somehow I found this cabin build just next level!! I can't explain it but damn did I enjoy it!!
Watching him put so much manual labor into this project is strangely relaxing
100% agree. Watched this just before bed...calm.
I luv hard yakka, I can watch it all day🤣🤣🤣
I just love work, I could sit here and watch it all day.
You should watch my self reliance.. hours of working doing a great job no talking you learn so much from them how to build a cabin by yourself... live off grid living clean
Enjoy another project lol

I've watched dozens of these, and this one was a ten for sure. This was exciting to watch and very informative. I'm new to your channel but it is definitely one I'll be watching from here on out.
i personally like it when the person explains what they are building. Thank u u get a thumbs up just for that
The hinges for the door are simply brilliant! Best example of bushcraft ingenuity I've seen on RUclips. You've got a new subscriber!
Except someone could just lift the door off from the outside.
@@samueladams4218 easily solved by putting another pin thru the bottom if he drilled it out and made the other pin longer.
@@samueladams4218 He mentioned on the video that the door was just for a peace of mind knowing that he wouldn't wake up with a bear staring at him like: "hi there, beauty".
