How to Chink an Off Grid Log Cabin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- building a log cabin is a dream for millions of people around the world, but no log cabin is "complete" until its been chinked. Today we're going to chink our off grid log cabin outside of Fairbanks Alaska. I'll show you all the tools and products you'll need to get this job done and the process of applying the chink and making it look great.
Here is a link to my video "building an off-grid homestead..start to finish"

What a beautifully done ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
this channel is why people from Michigan are the best people on the planet.
Dave, you have one of the best voices for narration. Love to listen to ya!
Thanks
I agree! Very pleasant, great sound level and down-to-earth how-to's!
Glad to see you posted a video Dave -- been missing them.
Thanks
Me too ,I have withdrawal symptoms 😂
@@jacksg1809 Same with me LOL.
@@jacksg1809 and me! Love how Dave can explain so well that it makes every job sound easy 💙
@@Bushradical QUESTION ❓. Can a person stuff plenty of insulation without backrod and then use permachink ???? Does it really matter what one year to fill in before permachink goes on
Happy to see this pop up in my notifications.
Love this channel
Thanks!
This was like watching Bob Ross do a little cabinectomy.
LOL
Hey Dave, your truck's all repaired up?
Yes, I miss you guys, I have been watching your reruns!
LOL, sorry its been so long
Glad to have y'all back. Thanks for the video.
Thanks
Brother...our whole family enjoys You and Brooke's content. Thank You 🤠
Sandwiching between the flashing is a great method. Thank You for that! I would've just tried to stuff it in with one piece. 😶
Thanks.....the flashing thing has really been helpful over the years
@@Bushradical the flashing trick is amazing! You are so smart!
I been missing you two GREAT to see you again !!
Thanks
You never fail to teach what you to know. You can do it all. I watch every video. Hi to Brooke. She gone. Stay well
Life's good but you my friend make GREAT 👍 I'm new to your channel, I saw my first video building the cabin then the Harbor Frieght saw. Frugal...love it. I'm moving to Nova Scotia with my dog from the states afterward a bad divorce. Thinking off the grid, I can do this. I'm at peace with myself and Christ so isolation isn't a problem. Oh yeah that pump rebuild, now I know.
You are my sole source to make my life's dream a reality. Thank you and blessings all you do for others.
Your videos are always to so thorough. And, you're always so encouraging.
Plus, you have a lifetime of experience, and you never come across as a know-it-all.
Thanks man!
Dave. You make it look so easy. Same as caulking. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Great to have some of your videos flowing again. Missed them.
I've watched all your videos some of them twice but this by far my favorite cabin that you've built
Using the two pieces of flashing was Brilliant!
Hey Dave! You make that look so easy to do. I love how you make it so easy to understand with a great tutorial. Thanks for an awesome video. Take care and be safe.
You are very welcome
a good tutorial except where he cheaped out and only bought one bucket of wall material when he should have bought 2
WOW!! Excellent job dude. Your experience shows. If I wasn't 77 I would buy a small woods here in NE Indiana and build a small log cabin (on a pond so I could fish) and follow your lead. I always loved to work with my hands. My grandfather was a plumber and built rain gutters and downspouts by hand from galvanized sheet metal and I learned just by watching. Despite getting an MS
in psychology I never lost my love for hands on craftmanship.
It's good to see you back up north - keep living the dream. Take Care
Good to see ya Dave!
Looks like you have lost some weight! Looking Good Mr Dave!! Either way it’s always nice to see Your Smile 😊
Healthy is what you want! 👍
Be Safe!
Great to see the progress on the Cabin!!!
I started watching your videos and am working on a little cabin with my pops and its changing my life. Love ya!
The insulation between the flashing, brilliant!!!
Dave post more vidios. I enjoy watching your vidios.. Your a realy intresting person, THANK YOU DAVE, GOD BLESS YOU, AND BROOK!!
Good to see you Dave. Glad you made it to the cabin. Thanks
Dave Whipple... the Master. Man I love your videos and Brooke's.
Thanks
That flashing trick is genius.
Hello Dave. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks
We know it's a good day when Dave upload a new video
Thanks Dave! Looks Great!!
Thanks
Our scouts really like watching you work and learning how to creatively solve problems.
I love your "can do" attitude, sir
My wife and I always enjoy your and Brooke's videos and the information and entertainment we get from them. A while back you uploaded a video about people making excuses of not being able to do things. You mentioned about a man you saw at the "dump" in Alaska that had no legs, but yet got around and did things. On this note; when you get a chance check out the RUclipsr - " Harmless Farmer " - Andy Detwiler. He is a Farmer that lives in Ohio who lost both arms in a farm accident at the age of three. He does most of the work on his farm using only his feet. Imagine changing the oil and filter in your Pickup, and only using your feet. " Harmless Farmer " does it.
Thanks Dave great tip, nice to see you again, Dave more videos please from Liverpool UK.
THANK YOU for your time it takes to film and make videos. We bought some property. Gonna drive a well hook up ram pump and start digging foundation next time we go U.P. there.
Thanks Dave, good to see you again.
More videos like these please (you have made such a simple and simple material, thank you), greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🍻
Always great content, clearly explained and demonstrated! Love your work saving tips! 👏👏Thanks Dave!! Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
Thanks
Welcome back Dave! Thanks for another great video!
Dave,I think we are great friends. And we haven't even met. My wife Debi and I have watched you and Brooke for years. There something about you i really connect with, but I'm to old so we live our dreams through you two. Thank you Dave,and if you are ever even slightly close to the northwest corner of Washington state please visit. Brian and Debi
Very informative and helpful, thank you!
I really enjoy your and your lovely wife's videos.
Please keep them coming and continued success to you both.
That sandwich trick is brilliant, Dave.
I just found you guys and I am so excited you are in Alaska. Im in Eagle River. Ive always wanted to build little cabins. You two are an inspiration!
Great to see you back in the BIG A place again! 👍😁
Hi there Bushradical Dave🖐 I've enjoyed watching you explain how to chink a cabin. I love to learn new things and this is a lesson I won't forget, because you are an awesome teacher 👍👍. It looks great. Thanks again for sharing your videos. Enjoy your time with family in Alaska. Stay safe. God Bless y'all 🙏✌❤😊
Thanks
Good to see you back. You always have interesting and good information. And you make it enjoyable.
I appreciate that!
I wish I had seen this video 25 years ago. A neighbour gave me 3 buckets of permachink. I had never heard of it and didn't know how to use it. I made a piping bag out ziploc bags and cut up pool noodles to use as a backer for big gaps and the back of a plastic spoon to smooth it. It works great, my job looks rough but so does the cabin. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kevin
I love these log cabin building tips and hope to see you and Brooke in the Upper Peninsula doing some soon!
Thanks
Nice video Dave. I admit, I miss your regular posting of new content. You’re one of my favorite YT channels, so please post more often brother.
Thanks, I appreciate that.....ive been short of interesting things to share lately and I have never been into Vloging......so Ive just been on vacation
@@Bushradical Dave, your 'uninteresting vlogging' is going to br fascinating to most of us...so give it a shot and look at the views and comments.
@@Bushradical I hear ya. I’m not much of a creative person publicly. How about a homestead tour and a view of the ol barn? Maybe a guitar video? Heck, I could come over and mess up your truck for a repair vid on the other channel. Lol.
Always appreciate your vast plethora of knowledge. Great video!
Much appreciated!
Hey Dave! Your videos are so inspiring to me. Both because you’re doing what Im working towards and that you and your wife are believers as far as I can tell. I’ve been looking at places to buy some land and start living off-grid and all of these videos have given me so much insight. I’d love to say thanks in person someday but for now, thank you!
We just bought an old tobacco barn turned into a cabin and need to replace a bunch of the chinking. This was perfect!
Dave, that "sandwiching" approach to filling gaps with batt insulation, if YOU came up with that technique, could win you a Nobel Prize in Bushcraft! It's that ingenious! (Now, if the folks at Oslo contact you about it just say Brooke came up with it because she doesn't have to rent a tux when she goes to accept the award & the $$$$$$$$$!!!!!)
Good to see you you've bee missed . Happy trails
Missed you! Excellent how-to video, Dave. Thanks.
Thanks for always posting such helpful videos Dave. You have definitely saved a lot of people time and money. We appreciate you buddy.
Happy to see you Dave. Thanks for the info.
Glad you're back doing videos. It's been a while.
Glad to see you back
Ok, Bob Ross of cabin building 😂
Love the vids, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Greetings from Wasilla!
Pretty slick tip Dave, using flashing to insert insulation between the logs, good thinking...
All great information we can fallow. Thanks Dave 🌸
Glad you are safely back. Another great tutorial. You make it all seem so easy. Eagerly awaiting your next video. Until then..Be radical.
Thanks
Good lesson and great seeing you again!!!!
Good morning enjoyed your video. Log cabins are so great. I wish we would have stuck with our original plan back in the day to build a log cabin. You two have done such a great job. Have a fantastic day. Lisa @moneypit homestead
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Thanks
Great video Dave. You are a wonderful teacher! Love watching you and Brooke.
Thanks Dave! I might be having to help my parents do this to their cabin soon, and I had no clue about any part of the process. Now I'm fully confident for when they give the green light.
I’m so glad you are back with another awesome video for us! Been watching for a new one :)
Thanks Sara
It’s funny I found your channel just because I’m interested in off grid living/building and I started watching Alone a couple of months ago and got so excited when I saw you and Brooke on there! Kudos to you guys! You guys rock.
Good to see you posted Bushy 😁..tips & tricks taken on board, not as though I've any requirements for a log cabin in the UK but that trick with the insulation could be very useful for many a area 👍. Great vlog.
Not surprised at all, another outstanding video and words of encouragement from Dave.
Well done Sir
Nice job Dave... This is one of the best “how to” videos that people need to watch. Log cabins have their own special construction, care, and maintenance that most folks aren’t aware of.
BTW... I drove by your old place down here about a week ago and it still looks great!
Love your videos. Neat trick with the flashing.
Very helpful video, that is such a great way to put insulation in a tight spot, sandwiching the insulation between two pieces of flashing, awesome.
Also just wanted to say, I love watching yours and Brookes videos. Great work to the both of you
Cool I never seen that done ..or knew anything about chinking... never seen a self loading calling gun..wow its pretty cool...thanks dave
Yeah totally agree good to see your still truckin along
Always enjoy your stuff always interesting and
Informative all the best from
Cobberdog down under
Thanks for another awesome video Dave!!!
So fun to watxh your progress!
Great video as always with good information. Thanks.
Great stuff Dave! Thanks for the tips!
Good stuff Dave, be well out there!
Nice TO see ANOTHER VIDEO from YOU AWESOME
Great video and info....well done Dave
Dave great work you make it look easy !
Your officially my favorite tube star!!! Just got some Landon talkeetna and I’m excited to start my little home away from home because of your inspiring and incredibly detailed videos!! Thanks a million for encouraging my husband to pull the trigger😍
Dave: You and Brook have helped push me over the edge of worrying about "roughing it".
I bought 35 acres in Southern Colorado. I moved there and have been getting things a little better every day. Watching your videos keeps me focused on making this happen.
Thanks :)
Great job Dave!
Good to see you again Dave hope you and Brooke are well been missing you both !
It looks great! It's easy especially with the bucket gadget helping with clean up, Yup, I could even do it and enjoy it. God bless Dave. Informative video as usual. Definitely great way to make your cabin draft free.
Thank you, Dave, I appreciate the thorough explanation and advice as to what product to use.
Very nice work.
The insulation trick is genius.
I do maintenance on several log and wood exterior homes.
I have used bulk guns for years and never knew about the follower plate. Typically we used the sausage rolls when I did commercial construction.
They work well also but are more expensive for the same amount.
The technique you used can be used on most sealants made from acrylic or latex.
Most will say silicone added on the tube like ALEX caulking from HD
If a sealant says Silicone first like window sealant soapy water and a rounded end butter knife work pretty well.
People who specialize in doing this have custom tools for the job.
Backer rod comes in open and closed cell.
Open cell is supposed to sponge up water intrusion in case of sealant failure until it can dry out.
Closed cell sheds the water.
I prefer closed cell unless a specific job spec requires open cell.
In my mind it is shedding any moisture that gets to it.
Thank you for all you do. To help others seeking that off grid dream.
Glad to hear from you again.
Be Happy, Be safe.
PS Is that you playing guitar in the background?
If so how about a 10 minute video of just you picking the guitar?
That was relaxing.
Love your channel, so calming and meditative..Such an inspiration
Great to see your video very informative!
Great video as usual Dave well done
You do a great job of explaining the process and what you need in supplies thank you 💕❤️💕
Looks like a fun job. Hope all is going well in your world.
Great stuff Dave!
Great video, Dave! Thanks.
Thanks
