Rent an ATV with sked or trailer for a week to haul trash and junk out and haul construction materials in. Don't bury it.
I agree, never bury something unless it’s something that is easily biodegradable like wood or other things.
Plus if you can fix up the trail, fill in the potholes with gravel and so on, you might be able to eventually drive your van up to the property and possible arrange for garbage pick up at the road end of your ‘driveway’
Also agree, and you want to steer clear of breaking any environmental laws that the Canadian government might hit you with. In the meantime, do what you can to make the trail as passable as possible so you can get your van in and out. Leaving it parked so far from your place could result in it being stolen. Otherwise, great video and I will follow along to see how you're doing.
A good razor knife will allow you to disect a mattress, couch, etc. down to simple parts. A lot of the parts you can burn.
I wouldn't bury that stuff. Some commented about renting an ATV with a sked or trailer and that's a good idea.
You're going to want your bed elevated from the floor, especially when winter hits. Unless the crawl space has been insulated, the floor will be the coldest part of the house.
Right on looks good be careful of the mold
You Need a 4wheeler and trailer. Dry wall is heavy. How far is it to your van? Some no trespassing signs at the head of your trail might be better than waiting for all these individual groups to pull up.
You've done a lot of work. My thought is you need to prioritze access. Get a dirt road done up at least so you can get the van up there so you can remove stuff to the local dump (if there is one) and bring in supplies.
Make sure you fix the leak where that insulation is molding before you put new stuff in.
Keep going and not give up. All the work you are doing because it’s yours
It will be what you want in the long run and be a beautiful place to live the rest of your lives
The view is beautiful!!
Your home will be beautiful when your finished. Keep going and don't let anyone get you down. You must be a very strong young man to take this grand step in your life.
Not sure how I stumbled on to your channel, but glad I did. I think what you are doing is absolutely amazing. Follow your dream, I look forward to following along.
The good part about having that stove out in the open is that it will radiate heat in all directions. Maybe put a fan low behind it to push cold air over the stove and turbocharge the heating?
That is an amazing property you have, congratulations!!!!
You’re getting so much done. Looking great
This looks like fun. I've done similar projects a few times and it's all about the "super list" keep that white board rocking and eventually you'll get there.
That bunk bed might be a good toy for a chicken yard…
You are doing what I have only dreamed of doing. Awesome clean up and work - you got this. Amazing views!
Strip the mattresses you can burn the fabric. Then use the metal frame in your garden to grow tomatoes or beans that need support
Hopefully you’ll get some sort or road or pathway to get your van in …looking good so far …❤
Great video. Am enjoying following along. You are living a dream 😃 Can’t wait to see more.
Wow! You accomplished a lot in these two videos. I can't imagine leaving all that junk behind for someone else to deal with. Good job cleaning it all up.
Wow what a journey. Glad youtube put this in my recommended. I am ready to see your future here because there is so much potential. Love Dobby ❤
Hi Tyler, hope you enjoyed your pizza..😁🤗. Can’t wait to see what you are going to do with your cabin and land…😁🤗👍🏻
Large pizza, One sitting… it was the most satisfying indulgence! Haha
Thank you!
Hey Tyler! Wow! What a difference! It’s like the darkness has been lifted and the light shines. Great work! Like others, I’m excited to see the progress and the transformation of your fantastic cabin! T.
Wow,what a start youve made. I think in time you will really make it your own place. Well done for having the guts to try off grid living. Cant wait for more videos of your progress. Why not watch other videos of other off gridders and see if you can get any good ideas for your cabin. Best of luck.
Tarp the piles outside also
I would burn the mattresses as they are just fabric over metal and if their is a single their when you burn the fabric off you will be left with a spring I use the spring to drag threw the snow to make a hard packed trial obviously I have a snow machine but if you pick up a four wheeler you can pull it behind that. Just make sure that if your getting a foot of snow drag every four inches or you will not be able to pull the spring!
wow… love to know how you found this place… cool place..
Good job!
Dobby says "the couch stays!"
Good luck . Blessings
No no no,don’t bury, hire a trailer to get rid. Please 😢😢😢
New subscriber from Jamaica, wow this will be an amazing project and you're hilarious (that doll was pretty creepy!)
I wouldn't get rid of the wood...
Tyler and Miss Dobby, great video! I’m in favor of working on road and ATV with trailer to haul things off the property. Not bury it. Also in favor of keeping metal from red metal bed. And screens for gardening to keep animals out. Could be good for many things. Possible future garden etc. excited to watch your progress! 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦 , Crista
Your doing great! ❤
New subscriber here, I have two questions. If you could please answer, I’m so curious, how far is the van from the cabin? Are you worried about anybody stealing anything from the van? Do you think you’ll ever be able to fix the dirt road so you could drive the van up to the cabin? And what do you do about fleas or ticks getting on your dog?
That's 4 questions not two lol.
Yes! Great questions
@@SagebrushRambles I know, It Started out as two questions but a couple other things popped in my brain, lol
WE LOVE YOU ALREADY GIOVANNI!! IM JUST AMAZED HOW GOOD HIS LITTLE DOG IS, FELT RIGHT AT HOME SO QUICKLY!!!
Might be time for a used 4 x4 and a cheap flatbed trailer. Get All that crap off the property! Just sayin.
I don't know about your budget, but is a side-by-side and a utility trailer a possibility? You could haul the garbage out to the road and to a landfill.
invest in a side by side to get in and out, a quiet one of course.
I'm sure someone in town would do a dump run for ya. Looks great though, good luck!
I'm thinking that you really. Deserve a pizza and a pitcher of beer! Your place will be beautiful.
You have got such a pile of trash you would honestly be better to burn the mattresses. Yes, I know they have chemicals in them do not burn them close to the cabin, and that way you have less of a quantity to bury, even though you would be better to get the road to where you can get a four wheeler or your van in And be able to take things out. I know this is a long time ago, but do not throw away the bunkbed. You will be amazed the things you can make with it, or use it in the garden for cucumbers or beans or morning glories to crawl over or many other options. Part of living off grid is re-utilizing everything that you can for something else. I probably would have kept the cabinets and the counter and painted them, on the floor, consider a epoxy paint so that it is durable. You will not want to sleep on a pallet on the floor, because heat rises and in the winter you will be sleeping in the coldest part of the cabin. Moving in drywall will not be easy. You may have to use tongue and groove pine to just cover the walls and that is OK. You make the best of what you have And it will be good in the end. I stumbled across your channel by accident and I am glad that I have. Also invest in a couple propane lanterns.
Also, if you are tearing out those two walls, take out the drywall carefully you can use it to make repairs and finish off the last bedroom once you replace the insulation and put up a new vapor barrier
Burrying garbage..get a ATV and a trailer. No point in trashing up your land much less hiking everything in/out for something that costs $1500.
Keep up the good work
With all the views , I would put in those big windows with access to the outside in that back room. it will make the cabin lighter , open it up. Leave two or three walls up. JUST a thought /same with kitchen. I have never understood why they build cabins in the middle of nowhere with beautiful , private views BUT NO WINDOWS. Mattresses are a pain in the butt, even when you have curb pickup! MAYBE Canada has some kind of junk pickup wilderness area? Have you figured access out ? decomposed granite is good I hear. I dont know if your aware that bunnies and other small mammals LOVE apple wood and owners like myself who dont want to give them wood laced in pesticides, etc find it hard to source. You can make some decent money selling me and others non gmo complexly free of chemicals, grown pure apple twigs, branches and if your crafty bunny toys! I would buy from you ! Hell, you could be my source. I think birds/parrots love them too. You are just going to have to get rid of it so why not make some decent money? That metal red bed can be repurposed into fire wood racks .Keep the wood dry, off the ground . Your doing a great job, it can be over whelming when your filled with so many projects and great ideas! Its going to be stunning!
Dont you get snow? Then it will be more accessible by snowscooter and you can remove the trash
Prioritize getting a road in there. You can get a truck in, it looks like others already have. Then you can haul your junk out of there.
Why can’t you access the cabin?
There’s obvious tyre tracks leading to it 🤷♂️
Bleach water the floors
🤠
Please don't bury garbage! I just had 1 tires plus metal car parts & other junk dug out of my yard for pool install installation
Where you at in cape breton bud I live there
You are going to burn some stuff that could be recycled
Let us know when you’re ready for an IKEA delivery! 😊🎉
Deal!
Not clever to burn everything, there is a lot you can salvage, specually when you're on a budget!
Don't bury it 😭 just wait till you get access and take it out. You'll have to get access to bring in more furniture so wait
Ok wow you cleared out that place like a mother. Don't know why you burning some of that stuff. Those two cabinets you took off the wall are built better than those shelves in bedroom. The wood chairs can be cleaned and painted. I DO NOT like the idea of burying all that stuff. There has to be a better way. Reuse as much as you can for indoors or outdoor uses for the future. Once you get a road to the cabin you can haul out all the junk to be properly junked. Of course I don't know where your at or how far you are from a township. You may have to leave all the junk for next year. Winter is closing in and you need to focus on fixing the cabin.
I think you could learn a few things for another Canadian who took the same road you did to the east coast a year ago. His cabin was just like yours when he started. He has been very resourceful with what he has managed to do on a very limited budget. He still has a way to go but I think he will be able to live in it this winter. Please check out his channel...Slim Potatohead. He is a adventurer also.
I don’t know what your plans are, but it looks like you’ve tossed a lot of potentially useful stuff. Do you plan on opening a road access, otherwise that’s a major amount of hauling to bring in everything on your back. Are you going to live there permanently? How far is it to town?
I’m still working on the road access. There’s three possibilities - the road I’m currently walking, the deeds legal access(ends at the Brook and not towards or near any road, making it landlocked currently), and another washed out road the locals have told me many years back they used to get trucks in but ATVers I’ve talked to can’t seem to find it and I can’t find it by foot, but with fall season trails start showing themself a bit more with the dead branches and leaves falling. All three possibilities go through different peoples property lines but I need to assess all of the options once I find this other “road”. It’s a cabin that was part of a draft dodger settlement. Winter… we’ll see. One step at a time. Worst case pick back up in the spring. Reality is I just got here 6 weeks ago, only so much I can do. I have the van worst case which is why I haven’t sold it to get a more suitable vehicle.
I know you’re trying so hard to make things work. If i might suggest keeping the metal from the bunk system for climbing items in the garden as supports. Just a thought. I wish I could help more but you’re doing great, ps love your puppy, what a cutie pie! Be safe!
I'd be burning any mattresses with inner springs and use the wire innards as a trellis for climbing veg or flowers.
We have a cabin in the woods off grid so I understand the work involved. We’ve owned it since 2009. We started living in it 6 months of the year. In the winter we go every other weekend because the only access is by snowmobile. We run everything by solar, back up generator. We now have running water, RV pump 12 volt. Our water comes from our brook behind the cabin that we pump into a 300g tote. We also just got starlink, good to have for rainy days and emergencies. We also put a garden in with a small greenhouse a few years ago.
I love your property, it’s going to be so much fun getting it where you want it to be. I look forward watching you future videos. Best of luck!
Make sure to wear a mask when removing the fiberglass insulation. Good job so far! I’d salvage whatever wood you can!
I would invest in a cheap off road vehicle to haul things back and forth to the van.
Job one is to get you a road to the property to allow you to bring supplies up by your van. Great Job.
Protect yourself and pup from possible mold before you tackle the insulation.
I pray that your health and spirits stay strong!! ❤
You got this!!
Everything worthwhile takes time, tears and patience!! We wish we could help you with the physical work, but since we can’t we are here in spirit and prayer supporting you and Dobby with every task!!
Stay mentally strong and you can do it!!
Hugs and kisses!! Dobby you’re a cutie!! 🥰
I love your spirit of adventure. A agree that you need to get an ATV to help you shuttle things in and out. The "tail" looks like it used to be a road. With some reinforcing in places I think you could drive in there. Good luck.
What beautiful property you have. What a project! Watching you clear out your cabin makes me wish I was there helping you out.
Well you have my attention! If you ever need any construction advice or guidance please reach
Out. I own a construction company in Ontario! You are on an amazing journey! All the best and just enjoy the whole thing! You rock! The jealousy here is monumental!
Can't you keep that red metal bedframe for something I. The future? A gate or something? I don't no. Lol
Hi Tyler and Dobby,
For some reason, you've come up on my RUclips feed. I have no idea why, but I am absolutely love it❤.
I would absolutely love to be doing what you are doing.
So excited to see how brilliant this turns out❤
My thoughts, haul it all out a little at a time, I’m sure you will feel a whole lot better about it
Road Access buddy. At least mark it out as you go back and forward from the Van. You absolutely need road access.
get a .atv and small trailer don't burry stuff ...
Looks like everyone just crashed there and never cleaned up after themselves. Great job clearing out.👍
Good job keeping everything clean. We must have some normalcy in our wild lives. I'm living on a boat, keeping neat and tidy is a must.
Good luck with the project Tyler. You seem like a nice chap. Keep going.
Hey, thank you for sharing your journey with us. What an inspiration you are! Good luck, I will be following every steps! Be happy!
Please don’t wear yourself out. Tons of progress, looks so different already. Your the man!!!!
Definitely try to rent an atv and trailer. It will change everything for a while. You could haul the trash and save your strength.
I’ve just subscribed and am binge-watching your videos from the point that you bought the cabin. Love this kind of transformation thing, 🇨🇦❤️
good advice would be bundles of roxul insulation ,mices do not like it ,water and fire proof , borax powder sprinkle in bottom of walls to keep mouse away .
You got tons of work done cleaning it out! In time and with your hard work, It will be a fantastic livable space. I look forward to future videos on the progress.
A lot of work but will be awesome when you make it your own !! Love it …
I'm interested in your progress with this cabin; it should be an adventure. I am a little disappointed that you are just making a garbage dump, or will bury the junk that can't be burned. Is there no way to haul this stuff out, on an UTV with a trailer? PS, I think that red metal bunk bed frame (we had one for our son) would be a nice set of shelves for storage. Maybe not now, but down the road.
That cabin is in amazing shape structurally with a roof, windows & siding in tact. What a find! I'm looking forward to watching your journey.
Love how Dobby drinks his water.👍
Hi Tyler, you did a great job on that cabin love to see more of your video's
Get a Jack and level the cabin
Dig a pit and burn all burnable trash in one permaner place,have a secong hole for class and stugg that is to hard to haul to a real dump. Burn the mattreses with the woould and what ever is left will be easier to haul off at some point.
Why burn the would from the. Stuff out the cabin reuse it on an around the cabin
Love watching your videos.
AWESOME!!!! Keep on going Tyler. You’re doing an absolutely amazing job. 😊
Thanks so much!!
Wow, you did a fantastic job. Looking good❤
Need a used 4 wheeler small trailer 💪🏻
That would be a dream! 🫶
Well done Tyler. This will be so nice wen you are finished. I can see that you know what you are doing. Maybe check with the municipality regarding the stuff you were going to bury. There may be other cost effective alternatives. Dobby is so sweet. I am looking forward to seeing your next video. Best of luck from Canada.
How exciting! We are enjoying the progress 😊
You are living my dream😊 take care Tyler.
Wow -great courage and determination! Keep going -moving forward!
It’s cool, relax,enjoy the journey and the company. Take care 🌸
when you said bury that stuff, my heart sank. I can’t imagine doing that to the precious environment. Maybe focus on road access like others have said so you can get supplies in and junk out. Also reconsider reusing some of those ‘junk’ items.
