The wood of your cabin will age with time. It would be cool to seal it and then over time you can see what patina the wood gets naturally. If you do stain it I would go with like a medium oak stain. I can’t believe how big Skeeter is! He’s grown so much! I’m sure your Grandpa would be really happy that you are using the stove he designed and used for so many years. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Kyle, I think your Grandfather is with you every step of the way, in your hands, your love of the cabin, the stove, how wonderful he past on to you his passion and joy for the outdoor off grid!! You are quite remarkable. Big thumbs up !!
I think a clear stain would be great to see the beautiful logs used to build the cabin. The dog is having a great time up there. Include him in more of your videos.
Kyle, Have you considered putting a flat ceiling over your room, maybe around 7' high or so? It would not only help tremendously with heat retention but also offer you a bit of overhead storage for your off season clothing etc. I totally understand the ambiance a cathedral ceiling adds to the cabin as I had one in my first cabin as well. After living there for a few years, I put a ceiling overhead and once I had the benefits that it offered me, I wished I had done it sooner. Keep on keepin on buddy, I enjoyed your video. Cheers :-))
Hey Boss thanks for stopping by. I actually havent thought of that but I love the idea. More heat retention and storage would be very beneficial. It's a 12×16 cabin so storage is a bit of an issue. I'm strongly considering that idea, thanks for the suggestion! Speaking of storage your truck tool box for food storage is genius. You have the best cabin living channel out there in my opinion. Tons of information and entertaining videos. I have learned a lot from you!
@@KYLESCABIN My workshop as well as my NY cabin are both 12x16 and they have a similar roof pitch as your place. I put flat ceilings in them with pulldown stairs for easy access to the attics. The storage space and the heat retention is just plain awesome. Save me a beer haha :-))
Skeeter is growing up so fast. What a good boy he is. Love your Cabin and videos. Wish they were longer and more of them. Love all you guys do. God Bless
I am going to put out more of them! for sure 2 a week but I'm going to shoot for 3. It just takes so long to upload them (4 or 5 hours) and sometimes it either doesn't work or gets to 99% and restarts.. it gets frustrating sometimes! But im going to start going to town once a week and using wifi to help with that
I would go with the colors on the door you picked out for the cabin. Always like as natural as possible with a warm tone to it. Your doing a great job on the build and so good to see Skeeter having so much fun. He loves it just as much as you do Kyle. Well take care and I have a lot of videos to watch being a new sub.
I forgot! Luckily I didn't get hurt. I wear prescription glasses a lot (not that those are the best safety glasses) so every once in a while I forget when I'm wearing my contacts
There is a burning process that looks awsome and also ends up making your cabin more burn resistant and keeps bugs away from eating it and stops wood rot and water repels off of it. I don't know what it is called but it is a skill that involves a large torch tool and I don't know but you may have to get a professional to do it but the outcome is stunning.
Great job! Don’t know how you build anything without a workbench! The darker you make it the smaller it will look! I have a metal green roof on my cabin and my workshop! Really like it!
Nice little cabin Bud...really enjoyed watching you smash the front gable and wall out before the snow came...crushed it. Sherwin Wms semi transparent SW3567 or some cut down version of it...has a little green in it which might tone out and blend the older and newer logs without setting the darker logs off any more than they are. What ever you will be fine it will always need to be done again. Cheers, Bill
I lived this way for a good chunk of my life, being raised by my grandparents. Now almost 50 and raising my seven yo daughter, I think the two biggest things I’ve learned from them is to that you can figure it out if you try and that you can utilize modern conveniences without relying on them. I think my grandpa and yours are proud of us.
Love your cabin! As others have said it already has beautiful tones. If you decide to stain you could choose one of the tones already in the logs or the door but I've personally gone to darker tones of woods and found them visually too busy.
The general consensus is to just use a clear coat so I think that's what I'm going to do! I agree the logs already have beautiful tones so no sense trying to cover them up. Thanks for the comment!
Nice to see that you and the pup are back. Love the story about the stove, so cool that you're using it, and making modifications. Take care, Tiina 😊❤🏠🇨🇦
Yay you’re back!! The history of that wood stove is so cool, I’m sure your grandfather would be stoked you were using it and modifying it! Haha 2 mile in beer break = awesome!! I’d totally do the same, that’s a good little hike in. +1 for a red roof, it’s the coolest and I’m not just saying that because mine is red haha. Oh wait, yes I am!
I think that is admiral that your using your Grand Paw's wood stove. He would be pleased no doubt. Sounds like you have a busy schedule ahead for you! Have a Blessed Day Friend!
Add your chimney about 2 feet over the roof ridge, and put tin plate top of the chimney. Leave between the plate and top of the chimney some 10 inch open space. Install plate before you add new piece of chimney. It may help that draft problem. And remember, only dry wood burns well, birch is one of the best.
Catching up on all of your videos. Love what u are doing and the vision u have at such a young age . Never seen snow in my life so cannot imagine what that is like. Hello from sunny South Africa.
You & Skeeter are back!!! Love seeing him playing while you're working. LOL What a life! The stove modification was cool. Think its awesome that your grandfather made it & it was in his cabin. I prefer very light/natural stains. For the tin/roof color, we have red on a shed. Some have mentioned red fades to orange/pink, but we haven't had a problem. Heard blue is a good option as it blends into the surroundings & no biggie if it fades. Can't wait to see your up coming projects!
Greeting from Hamburg in Germany where the Hamburges came from (second biggest city in Germany) The "foam.thing" I am a facility manager and building expert. Every foam- building foam, sound isolation foam or special foam must be protected from heat sun and water. Many dont know that fact and they wonder when the foam gets brown and then after some weeks porous- when it gets that point it start to dissolve. And then it has no more isolationspower and later its gone. What to do to protect it: Normely you spray first water on the wood and then in the process of foaming water on the foam and it soaks the water in and becomes much more harder and closer in itself.-Brings a better isolation. Then you cut away all the rest of the foam and then you cover it with a professionel brown (fits to the wood colour) super heat proove and flexibel silicon. It must be fit for inside and outside. But bevor making a line a cover between the 2 wood peaces- make it dust free! To work with silicon needs some help. There are YT teacher for working with silicon. The silicon protects the foam from heat water and it keeps the log cabin close because after the time the wood shrinkes. Thats way the silicon is perfect it is flexibel! The foam is not flexibel. If the wood shrinks because it becomes dry the foam rips and then the air can go through it or the heat can go out or the water can come in. I would like to see you making a better protection shild for the foam. It cost you my be 2 days for the inside and 2 for the outside. But outside not in cold temps- read the sub on the foam bottle. It needs some plus temps to work perfect. Traditionell log homes or cabs have forest moses between the logs. But foam is good if it is well build and protected. This silicon glue for industry is 4 season. Like Sikaflex. I love that stuff! Other love yachting silicon! And if you would like to get a clean full metal oven with stones inside then take a look at the "Buderus Gussofen Logastyle 31" in longtherm it is good NOT to have to much dust in the lunges and get a oven that takes fresh air from the outside and not the inside. This comp Buderus is also in the US and gives support for influencer. Also the comp Pedromax (more then 100 years old and also in the US CA) with the strongest oillamps (400 watt) they love influencer as well and they have traditionell cooking stuff and outdoore stuff.

Congrats on 10,000 subscribers! Ha I'm rewatching some older ones. I'm an OG subscriber, it's great to see how much your channel has grown over the last 3-4 years. Here's to the next 200k 🍻
I enjoyed the story of the stove. I feel that way when I am canning, and I feel like I am connecting with my Grandmother she canned back in the day. Does your Cierra can, if not she should learn how, very beneficial to your way of life. I also make jewelry and love to cook to connect with my mother in mind too. I learned how to make soap, body butter, salves, and candles too. All good skills to know saves money too plus it could be an income stream too.
You are trending in the right direction for a successful channel, I see hundred thousand and growing quite quickly. I was addicted to your channel immediately, great attitude, doing everything from scratch and you are really up in the wilderness unlike most individuals in more temperate climates. Don't listen to carefully to the comments continue to make your own mistakes that's what makes you so humble keep up the great work with skeeter and the girlfriend
We replaced some of our metal roof on the shed, the new stuff is incredible! The side with the old roofing will have a foot of snow on it, while the new stuff is clear! Very impressive. I can look up what exactly was the roofing we bought. 👍😉💖
I’d put some kind of clear protectant on the cabin-you can always go darker. The video of you dragging that stove in was the one that got me watching your channel. Stay warm. PS it amazes me how fast you got to 10k subs that’s awesome.
Awesome video Kyle, your grandfather’s stove there looks like a tough solid little stove I like it a lot he did a great job on it I bet the holes make it draft much better now as well!
Hey Kyle. Fellow MN guy here. I get up to that area as often as I can, love it up there. I've had the dream to do exactly what you are doing for most of my life. Time to make that happen in the next few years I'm thinking. Looking forward to more of your vids.
I vote for a clear sealer, let the natural beauty shine through. Like the idea of galvanized steel for the roof and the birch trim. The place looks great as is and you will make it look even better in the future.
You’re doing such a great job. The cabin looks great as it is, but if you were to stain it, I would pick the lighter colour. Enjoy your week and looking forward to your next instalment.
Kyle always wear safety glasses when drilling metal / I have had a piece in my eye / ( not fun ) very painful glad your back at the cabin take care be safe..
That story is so sweet about your grandpa. Keep up the videos..giving all of us great ideas...can you do a video or just mention how you went about purchasing the property..I'm look right now to purchase but could use a place to start.thx.
Hello and Cheers from Harmony, Minnesota... Amish country at it's finest. I truly enjoy your channel,, trust me you will be at 20,000 subs in little to no time at all. Keep on Keeping on!!
Just started watching your videos.you got good plans and a great mindset to complete your dreams.stay at it my best to you both and sketter and enjoy that beer.great videos.
I got tired of watching these videos without being a subscriber so I finally subscribed!!! I have a request of some winter cooking videos...chicken and dumplings, beef stew, chicken noodle!!! Call it "winter cooking at the cabin"! You can use it, I won't sue! I promise!
Hey Kyle! Just a thought, how about cross-country skies and poles to pull the sled in the winter until you get that awesome jet-ski! I watch people do that and it seems faster than walking. Love you guys!!😍
Hey Kyle, I would comment more but I'm usually watching onna TV. As far as staining the cabin, let the grain tell you what to do. Whatever you do don't paint!
Hey Kyle, good to see you back. First: Galvanized roof is a good choice because, later on down the line you can paint it any color you choose to. Second: The cabin looks good the way it is but, you might want something that is more cheerful. If that cabin was mine, Where the dark part starts from the middle of the window up, I would paint it a medium brown. Walmart sells a color called Fresh Pumpernickel, really nice brown and the bottom part just a sealer. Do the brown front and back the same. Sides, the sealer. Then, in the front at the top, design a nice logo to show the cabin is yours and Sierra. Just a thought. Skeeter: is a good dog, I watch him and he is not afraid of power tools, he didn't even flinch when you used the circular saw. I love that stove. When you put the slider on, make sure you do it in a way you can adjust it. I have found in my 72 years, sliders tend to wear down whatever is holding it on and it becomes loose making your wood burn fast. I've talked to much. Take care
I love the ideas! Skeeter is a great dog. He does really good with gun shots too. I cant wait to get him out grouse hunting this fall. Hes going to do great. Hes got a really good nose on him too. He gets a little far ahead of me sometimes because he gets excited but he stops and waits for me as soon as I yell his name. I got lucky, he is a natural. I love seeing your comments. It's great to hear from someone that has the experience!
If that was my cabin, I'd stain it uniformly, top and bottom, and put bear shutters on the windows painted medium forest green or brick red, trimming out the door in the same color.
I drank lots of Miller when I was your age. Its good beer. A tin roof is a smart idea. Just get what is the best you can afford and dont worry about the color..
I would love to hear more about your solar set up. Last week I showed some panels on my channel but I have yet to put them to use. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated. I absolutely love your channel keep up the great work!
The general consensus is to keep the logs as they are and just clear coat them so that's what I will do! Thanks for everyone's input.
KYLES CABIN Shou Sugi Ban
Kyle, I'm almost old enough to be your grandpa and from what I see I think your grandpa would be real proud. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Dave!
You my friend have restored my faith in the youth of today. My hat is off to you!!!!
Definitely takes a different breed nowadays.
There's another young fella that impresses the heck out of me, "traplines and inlines" check out his RUclips channel.

Clear!!!! The wood is beautiful
Clear coat for sure . Good stuff! 👍😃✌️
Love the story behind your wood stove, what a treasure for you to have and be using. Good to see you back
I like the cabins natural look, Please don't go to dark. You have done a good job. Best of luck to you.
The Nurse/Mom in me says.......Use Safety Glasses!!!!! :) When drilling your stove!!!
I forgot! Luckily I didn't get hurt. I wear prescription glasses a lot (not that those are the best safety glasses) so every once in a while I forget when I'm wearing my contacts
He did later in the vid but it only takes once.
There is a burning process that looks awsome and also ends up making your cabin more burn resistant and keeps bugs away from eating it and stops wood rot and water repels off of it. I don't know what it is called but it is a skill that involves a large torch tool and I don't know but you may have to get a professional to do it but the outcome is stunning.
It's a Japanese burning technique!
Looks great the way it is! Put clear coat and keep natural look, green or blue roof
What a great life you have your grandfather would be so proud of you what a great achievement .😍😍😍😍
I think a clear coat so you can still see the grains in the wood look best. Everyone darkens there cabins. To many that way.
Great job! Don’t know how you build anything without a workbench! The darker you make it the smaller it will look! I have a metal green roof on my cabin and my workshop! Really like it!
I am long overdue for a workbench. I'm going to put a nice one in my woodshed this spring!
Lighter is bigger looking
Nice little cabin Bud...really enjoyed watching you smash the front gable and wall out before the snow came...crushed it. Sherwin Wms semi transparent SW3567 or some cut down version of it...has a little green in it which might tone out and blend the older and newer logs without setting the darker logs off any more than they are.
What ever you will be fine it will always need to be done again.

Hey Kyle, I would comment more but I'm usually watching onna TV. As far as staining the cabin, let the grain tell you what to do. Whatever you do don't paint!
Dig your video and am a new sub, look forward to checking out your other videos. Cheers to the good life! ~ Brian
yes I think clear coat will look nice, keep it natural.
Great video as always...
Hey Kyle, good to see you back. First: Galvanized roof is a good choice because, later on down the line you can paint it any color you choose to. Second: The cabin looks good the way it is but, you might want something that is more cheerful. If that cabin was mine, Where the dark part starts from the middle of the window up, I would paint it a medium brown. Walmart sells a color called Fresh Pumpernickel, really nice brown and the bottom part just a sealer. Do the brown front and back the same. Sides, the sealer. Then, in the front at the top, design a nice logo to show the cabin is yours and Sierra. Just a thought. Skeeter: is a good dog, I watch him and he is not afraid of power tools, he didn't even flinch when you used the circular saw. I love that stove. When you put the slider on, make sure you do it in a way you can adjust it. I have found in my 72 years, sliders tend to wear down whatever is holding it on and it becomes loose making your wood burn fast. I've talked to much. Take care
I love the ideas! Skeeter is a great dog. He does really good with gun shots too. I cant wait to get him out grouse hunting this fall. Hes going to do great. Hes got a really good nose on him too. He gets a little far ahead of me sometimes because he gets excited but he stops and waits for me as soon as I yell his name. I got lucky, he is a natural. I love seeing your comments. It's great to hear from someone that has the experience!
@@KYLESCABIN Thanks Kyle, I can hardly wait til you and Skeeter put that nose to work.
You need to get yourself a used 4 wheeler to keep out there to shuttle supplies in and out easier, and faster.
How about a set of cross country skis!
Yes I missed you guys, love to follow you young people. nice to see young being so hard working to build thier future.
Clear coat on the cabin, that's what I would do. Your cabin, you decide. Red and brown are great colors that compliment each other.
Love the videos! Thanks for taking us along!
Skeeters that loose friend who lightens up the party when he arrives.
If u want to extend ur porch/deck, u could make two posts and then make a four ft extension on ur roof joists. Just a thought.
Clear coat would be cool.
If that was my cabin, I'd stain it uniformly, top and bottom, and put bear shutters on the windows painted medium forest green or brick red, trimming out the door in the same color.
I wouldn't go darker! A nice yellow like the color of the logs!!! In my opinion 🔥🏚
I would just put Thompson water seal or some other like product on, the color is great.
I think you should just seal the outside of the cabin and not stain it darker. A Blue roof would be cool!
your living my dream , more power to ya .
Good stuff. Thanks for posting. 👍
I drank lots of Miller when I was your age. Its good beer. A tin roof is a smart idea. Just get what is the best you can afford and dont worry about the color..
You should increase lengthen on one side the roof hang over and store the logs 🤷🏽♂️
Love watching these videos! Thanks for sharing with us, oh and have a beer for me!!
Cheers Kylie!
Recommendation watch Simple living Alaska loads of hints on frugal living/building. Loving what you're doing.
Put a digital thermometer on Skeeter for outside temperatures
Loved your comments about your grampa
It's a true cabin the way it is. If want a colorful house, then, don't leave the city. :) That look is what people dream of.
Good to see you and Skeeter back. I’m having a beer with you listening to all your upcoming projects.
Cheers!
I would love to hear more about your solar set up. Last week I showed some panels on my channel but I have yet to put them to use. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated. I absolutely love your channel keep up the great work!
I think I'm going to talk about it next video! Thanks for the comment I'm glad you are liking the channel.
