- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2023
- The official tour of the ultimate off-grid cabin on my Alaska homestead. From the foundation to the roof pitch, I go over all the details about my dream cabin I built in the woods of interior Alaska. I also show you the rest of the property including the wood fired sauna, the wood shed, the tool shed and of course...the outhouse.

My son is 21 now and built himself a cabin like this when he was 19, only his has a bathroom. Paid for it all, and his Dad helped him build. He still lives there and really likes it. It's affordable, too.
Is it on your land or did he have to buy land
is he married? hahaha such a rare soul in these days
@snakeonix9105 Yes, on our land. He still pays us rent for the space, though it may not be what he would normally be charged.
We like having him around to help take care of the animals. It's a win-win for us.
@@yasemin2159 haha. No, he's single.😘
How do u get electricity in the middle of nowhere n how do u handle medical emergencies? This is fun for a day or two but extremely lonely at least for a city owl like me
Coming from a 35 year old dying man, you truly have lived, and is my current dream I'll unfortunately never achieve. So I live vicariously through videos like this. I love your channel. This is the final boss of dreams likely hundreds of thousands of people have. And you've made it. I have no idea who you are, but I am proud of you. Living authentically. Head full of knowledge and curiosity. Keep surviving and thriving bucko. All gas, no brakes. Godspeed.
Are you ok?
You've trully inspired me to live more and to try and achieve my dreams, one of them being to build my own cabin. I'll carry on your live with me, I hope you're doing okay ❤
Sending love and warm wishes!
Hello fella, i'm an architect in london across the pond and i just wanted to say that i've had a calling to come to alaska for some time and live this exact lifestyle you have made for yourself. Your like my dream come true fella... Absoloutely stunning cabin in beautiful surroundings! super jealous matey and great work, enjoy!
Nice! Thanks for the kind words. Hope you make it over someday!
I hope you get to live out your dream one day brother 🧡 even though I’m Canadian I don’t like the snow
Admirable. Word
how I wish I can do the same thing I really would love to live in a peaceful place like that and produce your own food..
People I lived in Manhattan many years and now live in THE NEW BROOKLYN by BARKLAYS CENTRE only ten minutes from the city! Thank you so much for letting me get away. I would have to live by a hospital or pharmacy to do this! I have severe asthma and would go totally paranoid in that situation. But , because of people like you I get to see it, what’s funny, is I’m a performer, singer , dancer, actor, funny guy , do of course I live in NYC! Come visit , you might be over- whelmed how much you love it!!
This cabin is about the most cozy and homelike I have seen
Especially in small space and doesn’t look cramped or junky.
Love it
Thank you!! Glad to hear you like it!
😮😮،،٧ط😂حد😊ك 😂😂😂😂ط 1٩ط
I love seeing a cabin that is neat and not cluttered up with plastic totes and no cupboard doors!! This place is awesome!!! Well done!
Exactly, I try very hard to make it feel properly cozy. Plastic, clutter and drywall all take away from the cabin in the woods feel. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
Luv 2 stay there 4 a holiday looks luvley an comfortable
You’re cabin is one of the coziest I’ve seen on RUclips
Thank you!! Appreciate that!
I agree!
Wealth is not measured by how much money you have, but how much joy and contentment you have in your life.
My dad has a log cabin in Wisconsin, I put skirting around the entire cabin in a weekend. Made a huge difference for the temperature of the floor. My feet used to get cold in slippers, you can walk around barefoot now
Good to know! I think I'll knock that out this summer.
Our cabin is raised off the ground and I just put R-19 and sheeted under it and the floor warms nice. We have an Empire direct vent heater as a backup.
Damn, that was fun! You’ve done an amazing job. Warms my heart! Dad
Thanks Dad! I owe it all to you!
Your cabin is so cozy and just enough for you. You should be so proud
Greetings from the Harvia country (Finland that is), awesome to see how saunas are built in other countries. In Finland saunas usually have the seats higher as the heat rises. :)
Hey! Yeah, I plan to put an upper bench in there as well. Thanks for watching.
Lovely little sauna, nothing better that hot steam in the winter in the countryside. Harvia do a little water heater that you can add into the sauna stove chimney that then gives you water for washing with after sauna. Hyvää loylu
I've seen those! Maybe I'll have to add that to the list. Thanks for watching.
-So, yeah, have never built anything like that
*builds the most perfect and cozy cabin*
How kind!
This has to be one of my favorite cabin setups I’ve seen. It’s simple, yet you’re able to maintain some creature comforts whilst truly living off grid. Even more impressive that this was your first project! I’m super jealous of your setup, and you should be proud of what you and your buds accomplished by building this. Great work!!
Sitting here at work dreaming about a vacation to a place like this...
I LOVE your hexagon window and your wood stove's base (newer one in a recent video, I mean). Both are attractive!!!
Great, air ventillation in the roof is essential, like you've effectively addressed, good job! After 42 AK winters, I thought I'd take a break and head for Mexico. Good for the mental health, and come home recharged and ready for spring, yay!
Regardless of where you live in the world, a change of climate and altitude every now and then is good for the soul. 🥰
Thank you! Im jealous, I'd take some sun right about now.
Indeed!
Skirting does make it much warmer. I lived in a trailer home for a time that'd originally didn't have it, and when I added it, it made a HUGE difference. Only catch is you'll likely have animals tearing into it for the warmth, so I'd use some kind of metal version. Definitely want to use foam board as well to insulate it.
Just turned 50 and I want to move to AK but I have to wait till I retire. You’re livin the dream🤘🏻
Nice! Hope you get up here soon!
My dad wanted to wait until he retired to live his dream. He died 2 years after retirement. Follow your dreams now while you can still enjoy them.
This is one best videos for off the grid. Your cabin is well thought out and
And planning. Good job!!!!!!
Wow Matt this is a Dream Come True for you!!! I love this cabin!!! The colors of the siding and the roof. Love how beautiful Alaska is! The fact you have trees all around you for firewood for the wood stove. The inside i love. Futon couch that pulls out to a bed. The coffee table your wife built herself fantastic!!! The gas stove as a backup. The kitchen. Using a hot water pot since you have snow and a creek or lake around in summer!!! Water goes through the sink into bucket smart!!! Stove runs on propane and not electricity. Love the loft!!! Extra bed for friend dog. Love you have a generator and an electrician for a friend!!!! Great that you and your wife enjoy cabin life with an outhouse, sauna, woodhouse and a toolshed!!!
How kind of you! Glad you dig it! Thanks so much
I don't know why anyone would give you a hard time about the stairs🤔🤔 I think they are great!!!! They fulfill their purpose and that's all you need. Love this beautiful cabin♥️💚❤️💖👍👍🤗🤗
I absolutely love your cabin. Thanks for showing us around and explaining how it all works.
You bet!
Looks good! The only thing that would bug me would be a bear scratching at the Outhouse door whilst I was doing my business. Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK
honestly my favorite content at the moment
Woah!! Glad to hear that!
Wonderful job building that cabin. Almost too nice!!
i bought a solar shower, they are handy..2.5 gallons.. just put your hot .warm water in it and hang it up and rinse your self off.. love the sauna..better for your pores.. im very impressed by you..trying to watch all your videos.. one day i will do it again.. if i dont get to old..lol im a retired Farmer/House builder....and ive spent half my life in the bush .. taught my friends how to build diffrent shelters /cabins and stuff.. anyways.. keep up the awesome videos..im really enjoying them..
It’s absolutely perfect! Love it!
Thank you!
very nice !
Many thanks!
@@alaskacabinadventures Thank You !
Nice setup, I’m jealous! lol
A skirt around the crawlspace and at least R30 in the floors will help more than you would think. Heat rises but it also goes to cold in all directions. Awesome Cabin!!
True! That exact project is on my hit list for this summer.
Great video. I’m currently building a 16x20 off grid cabin. It’s totally dry and insulated at this time. Got some great ideas from your cabin interior. Thanks - from Hells Canyon, Frank.
Right on! Very glad to hear that. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good Luck!
Amazing work in all your builds, love your videos ❤❤❤thanks for creating it❤.
Wow! love what you've done with the place looks really cosy, I'd stay there for a winter. Only one thing missing.
A dog, would love a life out there with you.
Cheers from Sydney down under.
My husband sent me this video. We are planning to start building in the late spring in upper peninsula Michigan. Similar climate. Very cold. Lots of snow. We bought blueprints that include windows up high. I was thinking to leave those out. Thanks to your comment about lighting, I will use the windows. Also, I love your kitchen sink setup. We will also have a dry cabin, so this pot setup will be perfect!
Our home will be a little bigger because we are going full-time off-grid. Yours is a great model though!
You’ve got some really handy and helpful friends. That’s something to be proud of as well! Kudos to you and I love the cabin!
Please sell me your vintage mushroom print crock pot!!! 😍
Isn't that thing great!?
A masterpiece!!!!
Love your kitchen,Matt
Beautiful place and country
MÜKEMMEL
Your wife is adorable, love your channel
Beautiful cabin that turned out pretty good for not being a builder!
12:35 "also a smaller twin bed for guests or dogs or whatever" 😂😂 hospitable lot you Alaskans
Love that book on your coffee table, and the documentary that goes with it
17:50 wow. Generators are awesome!!!
Здорово,Вы прекрасно поработали у Вас отличный дом
Recently discovered your channel. Like it a lot. And your philosophy of being efficient. Very cool.
Given the fact that you had no prior build experience, you did an amazing job.
You make a nice video. You go slow so we can see and you say only what needs to be said. No rambling on. Your cabin is one of the prettiest I've seen.
Thanks!
Awesome, we've been waiting for this one! Well, and the next one ;)
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
I hit the wrong thumb I do like what you have done ✅ ❤ I am very impressed with your beautiful cabin and for not having ever built anything prior GREAT JOB 💜🌷💜🌺💜🌸💜💐💜😊💜
This is almost exactly what I’m looking to build. Dormer window into loft , so perfect
Be proud of yourself for all your hard work you put into the cabin. Great job and taste, too. Greetings from Northern ny.
You have a beautiful cabin and sauna. Very well done and organized. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Joan!
Nice job for your first build, would make that Canadian guy Mike Holmes proud 🤪
Thank you!
Don't let anyone give you shit about those stairs. If it's cheap or even better, free, more power to ya!
Amen, Thanks Deborah!
I approve of your taste in single malts! 🙌🏻
absolutely love every inch of it
Awesome!
Thanks!
You have some good friends
great 👍 little cozy cabin.
Thank you!
Congratulations on your off grid cabin looks like you put love and care to fix this cabin up try putting inside a bathroom that can burn waste when it's cold you might want to stay inside thanks for the video be safe
Off Grid Cabin, plus solar power plus windpower plus starlink = dream :D
Great work🎉🎉😅😅😅
Very nice cabin. When seeing buildings on a property I've often remarked that it's too bad they didn't make a SINGLE outbuilding large enough to house everything so the place wouldn't look so scattered. I did see something like that some time ago and it was much more esthetically pleasing to the eye. The outbuilding had 3 doors because they were really three buildings in one, each section being used for a specific purpose. So nice to see a clean set-up like that instead of so many buildings detracting from the cabin.
came from Timmy, Stayed for the vibes
I know nothing about building but I think you did a great job….good luck 🥰
Beautiful.
Your Cabin looks so cozy, and you keep is very neat! Thanks for the lovely tour ❤
It is beautiful to live in a place where there is a lot of snow 🌨
Wow, what a lovely cabin. I love to see it finished to such a high standard. Well done!
Wow. Amazing place.
Amazing. You thought of everything.
Very informative. Thank you... Peace!
Glad to hear that!
Beeeeeeaaaaaauuuutttiful
Great looking cabin! It's all you need to enjoy the great outdoors in Alaska. FYI I've seen where builders put bubble wrap over the joists before they install the underlayment. Keeps the floor considerably warmer.
I just saw that too! Gonna try it out on my build this summer. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your great homestead! I love the setup and am jealous, it's such a beautiful setting!
gorgeous cozy cabin
Really enjoyed the tour. Your cabin and outbuildings, especially the sauna, are beautiful.
Why thank you!
😮 Wow
Really Nice…..😊
Love this !will take a into consideration when I move to my vacant land.
Really love this cabin you built for yourselves.
Thank you the best video I have seen so far. You explained everything perfectly and addressed the questions I always have when watching other videos. You covered everything and your cabin is magnificent, well done.
