Converting Firewood Shelter into Tiny Cabin to Survive Winter - Walls 3.0┃EP12┃Alone Off Grid Alaska
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 окт 2024
- In this episode I take on the challenge of converting my short lived firewood shelter into a tiny cabin so I can survive the Alaskan winter! I finish stick framing my last wall and sheath the cabin to protect it from the elements, we see the first snow of the season, and spend the whole episode trying not to lose a finger 😂

If you're new here, my name is Sean Paul!
I sold everything I owned and drove to Alaska. I came with my dog, my cat, and a dream to create an off grid sanctuary on 5 acres of Alaskan wilderness! The challenge is, I have zero experience and I’m just a dreamer with a RUclips subscription! I can only imagine the journey ahead...I hope you stick around, and welcome, to Gettin' Off Grid!

This channel and wild homestead are my two favorite channels at the moment. Love watching you figure everything out on your own. Great content brotha.
You should also check out cabin river outdoors
Both are mine to, can't wait for the homestead puppy, he decided against a wolf hound
@@KevinBlanchard11 I just subscribed to his channel, I’ll check him out today. Thanks for the info.. these off grid channels are addictive lol myself reliance got me hooked to them. Mr James is amazing on the things he does by himself
Have watched him from day 01...😊❤😊@@KevinBlanchard11

20 months booze free. Quitting was the hardest thing i ever did, and i get a daily reprieve. I am grateful I found your page. Watching you discover and learn how to survive while being a goofball has been very inspiring. From one nerd to another keep it up! I am excited to see what adventures you get into.
You make me laugh at a time in this world when laughter is much needed. Thank you. God bless.
Sean Paul, can’t tell you how much I enjoy your channel. It makes me laugh but probably also inspires many of us as you find or make solutions to issues that befuddle many of us. Most of all I love that you are a “dreamer.” Thanks for sharing your life with us who, like you, often have NO CLUE when it comes to carpentry. Be careful always.
Dave
@@PJXXIII Thanks Dave, us dreamers gotta stick together! I hope you have a great day friend
Awesome progress this week, Sean Paul! During anytime this winter you need a break from the outdoors and want to warm up your bones, my husband and I live in anchorage. We have a spare bedroom for you and your sweet babies. Don’t be afraid to reach out. We are invested in you and your success here in off grid Alaska. I moved away in my 20’s to the east cost and spent 4yrs away from home, so I understand your feelings of missing home and your people. And I felt a world away from everyone here. I learned so much while I was away. And once I finally moved back, it gave me this appreciation for this place I call home. I resonate with your story- so from us to you, whenever you need a warm home cooked meal- we are here. I love your slow down pace attitude and taking in all the moments. You’ll get to all your goals in due time. You started from nothing and now you have yourself 2 structures! I’d say that’s progress to be proud of. Keep on reaching your goals. I’ll be here watching every upload to support. ❤
I absolutely Love your "What's up Nerds" 🤓We are here 💖💖💖
@@charlenecarnes8139 nerds…ASSEMBLE!!
I love watching your silliness. You are entertaining...that's fantastic! But you better hurry and finish your little cabin before it really snows up there! Keep up with making your fun filled videos.
You should be very proud of yourself!! !I sure am. You're building your dream, and that says a lot. Ignore the trolls...you got this!! I'm cheering for you !!🎉
Hello, I'm New here watching this video on our TV with my Husband. You were Super Funny talking about the "W" word and Not talking about it's coming!!! I just had to join your RUclips Channel/family. You're Hilarious to the max!!! 😂😂😂Sharon in SC
You're one of the most entertaining off grid creators on the site - I get that accepting gift or donations might be hard but hey, if people want to get you a wool sweater (no, seriously, wool is the way to go when the temperatures go down) or a treat for your four legged companions, let them ;)
Lots of love from Poland, it's such much fun to live vicariously through you!
You did it, all closed in but for the door. So nice to see that your neighbours have reached out. I hope that you have a wonderful week and can't wait for your next video. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey.👍❤️
I went from an area of no snow to an area with snow with two dogs. Noticed the fur on their foot pads and legs would clump with the snow. This prompted me to obtain “paw balm” for booth dogs and winter boots for them as well. A good portion of your life is going to be soul searching and deciding whom you want to be…. Assholes have already decided who they are ignore them, do you. Be thankful to God for all blessings. You will be alright.
Please start every video with "Sup nerds" from now on.
Keep being you Sean. Do what you think will work for you. What I got out of your videos is that you are aware of your surroundings. You have a beautiful landscape to get lost in and your awareness of how you feel. Anxiety and depression are really hard to deal with in life. Keep a daily journal of those surroundings and now that all the days that you feel blue are just a reminder that better days are coming. I hope this makes sense to you. I personally know how it feels to be challenged with mental heath. Stay busy and know you’re not alone.
Thank you, good neighbors, for helping Sean Paul out. It's nice to hear of people who care.
Your hilarious personality is what keeps me coming back! Also watching you interact and bond with your furbabies in this new phase of life for all 3 of you! 😊
Awesome job! It is coming along great.
im so glad to see another video of you thanks for sharing and thank you from germany !
Seriously, you crack me up!! You’re my new favorite channel!!
Good to figure things on your own but help is sometimes needed. Keep up the good work.
“Step one” …. “Stick out ya tongue” what a fantastic sense of humour you have 😂 I love all your silly goose comments. Just keep doing what your doing. It takes guts to do what you’re doing I look forward to your upload every week from 🇬🇧
Looking good. Great gifts of heat from your neighbours. Keep kitty warm & safe from predators. Awesome progress. :)
Good job👍
I’m soooooo jealous of what you are doing and the achievement you must feel. Keep on going day by day and ignore anyone who is personal commenting. They can swipe on by and find someone they deserve to watch. They are just minor. Positivity from the uk 🇬🇧
Hey man, I'm just here to tell you that I love your videos. You are super talented and entertaining. I love the honesty about the mistakes and your perseverance. I feel like you don't sugar coat it and do the classic influencer thing. I wish you the best and hope to keep seeing your content.
People don't realize how much work what you're trying to accomplish really is. Yes winter is coming and you need to make sure you and your babies are safe and warm, but give yourself grace. Don't worry about what everyone thinks. It's not their life. It's yours. I love seeing people being happy doing things that may seem unconventional and at the same time, don't give a shit what anyone else thinks. You're always going to have followers and supporters and those are the ones that matter. Keep on keeping on!!!
My six years in the Canadian mountains was amazing. The wildlife was breathtaking, and the views simply make you stand in silence from the overwhelming picturesque surroundings. I believe you are creating a wonderful home for yourself, and keep focused as you have built an amazing life
You’re so lucky! I envy you so much! You’re awesome and you are doing an awesome job both with your builds and video content! ❤
I have the same "panic attacks and / or anxiety" like you. They just come on out of nowhere for no reason. I understand your plight. Luckily, it does eventually go away. Believe it or not, but outdoor videos like yours help calm me back down.
Silly goose here reporting for duty! But to be fair I'm also a nerd.
On average 5 years to develop a business. You are on a great path. Your attitude will make it become reality.
I love watching you build and how humble you are. And super funny 😂
Coming along nicely.. First snow means get your butt in gear lol Also in the future try blue chalk vs red. Blue doesn't stain or stick around like the red stuff.
Was waiting for u to upload all day! Greeting from Norway👋
I get happy any time I see a new video.
Hey bro I can appreciate you feeling anxious especially this time of year! Hang in there there are many people who love you even people who you will never know have love for you we are all in this together!
Love your videos!
You are such a joy to watch. I am sitting here in Florida with no electricity due to hurricane Milton. So I am really enjoying your video. So proud of you. Keep growing.
Gotta say it, this is my new favorite channel.
Awesome progress, looks great!!! 😊
Wow, finally a RUclipsr who says please and thank you and really appreciates his followers. I'm so used to RUclipsrs ordering us to "like comment and subscribe", without ever saying please or thank you... Or even worse, the ones who try to fling a guilt trip on the 50 percent of viewers who are not subscribed... Maybe I'm old school, but I appreciate the appreciators. So you'd better believe I subscribed to this channel. Oh, and you nailed it... I am a Silly Goose.
I’m saving this for tonight ❤️
Cut the spruce further away from the cabin first while there isn’t any snow yet, then when the snow gets deep cut the trees closer to the cabin. you can most likely cut what you need for the winter in a couple days. Probably going to need a snowmobile at some point if you haven’t thought about that yet. We get a lot of snow here.. Also probably going to want to change the oil in your generator to the cold weather oil.
You're doing great, Sean Paul, I'm very proud of your accomplishments... keep it up! ❤
Honestly, you've done a great job. There is more than one right way. As long as it's sturdy and works (and safe), it's the right way. Help as far as tips and instruction are great, but insults and hate are very mean girlish. I've been with you since your first video. You are one of my top 3 favorite channels.
Good job almost getting ready foryour ❤door and insulation,hurrah
FairPlay FairPlay 💪
Loved the video as always Sean. Don't worry about people as YOU ARE THE PEOPLE. You're doing a fabulous job & the lil cabin is lookin great. As for winter, please watch WILD HOMESTEAD with James Alofs. He lived in his tent & still is through the winter & a hurricane. Like you he's a free spirit & just as funny. Here's the hilarious part, on all off grid channels I watch I mention your channel & Cabin River Outdoors. I'm sure you have new subs. Just keep on truckin @ your pace not anyone elses. This is YOUR STORY not ours. Much Love, Blessings & Please stay safe. Put some antiseptic on your finger. From South Africa a huge fan 🌍🇿🇦💌🙏👍
Press "F" for Sliding Wall! U "nailed" it out bro!
F 🫡
Keep up the good work brother. Doing it on your own, you're gonna learn a lot of lessons but they're going to pay off
Let him entertain us 🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳🥳
I love your move Sean Paul, greeting from Indonesia 🎉🎉
Rest in peace sliding wall. Oktober 2024 - Oktober 2024. 🤣🤣🤣 ((( NERD)))
Don’t ever let anyone steal your joy, and keep dancing 😊 I totally get where you are coming from as far as wanting to build your cabin yourself. There is nothing wrong with asking for help when needed, but unless you try something and fail, you’ll never learn.
You got this Sean!😊
Good job.😊❤
Oh my God, it started to look like a little house love it
You got this building thing and with the other Shawn as back up you will have a cabin. I feel better knowing you have neighbors who also can come by and give you a hand. This grandma would bake you an apple pie this afternoon if you lived down the road. I can only send you encouragement. So you and your pets got this snow, wind, and rain under your wings for sure.
Can't wait to see snow on your homestead. I love snow , cold weather and winter. We don't have that here in Florida. Just a lor of heat and hurricanes.
And to think I was just looking to see if you uploaded! Excited to see what you’ve gotten up to this week.
Grrreat job Mister..keep your critters warm...😊❤😊
Never-ending.. the haters..just go at your own speed and be within yourself so you can feel Mother Nature..ya got it..and you would luv it..doing well...😊❤😊
You’re a good nerd letting that meat rest! I see you’re picking up all the little building tricks for installing siding. Going to be fun watching you next year. You’ll fly through your next building. Neighbors are great. Keep on going nerd! You got this.
love your content keep it coming bro
Talking about living your dream and not being able to bring your friends and family along, I an relate. My wife and I work and travel full-time in our RV and we recently bought some land in Alaska. Super exciting life to live but the bummer part is I can't take everyone I love with me. It took a year or two for me to be ok with that. By the way, as one other person said, yours and Wild Homestead are my favorite RUclips channels by a long shot. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Hope that all of your family are well being in Florida with the hurricane. You are out in the middle of nowhere on your own just before winter, if you didn't have some anxiety it would be more of a problem. Your energy and humour goes a long way, having your animals also helps. Keep doing what you are, you have a huge following already. I love watching.👍❤️
What a way to make a dreary Sunday turn into a lively afternoon. I wasn’t expecting a episode from you today. ❤
Greetings from England. Loving the channel. You are doing a fantastic job. ❤
Yeah, a new video. I’m loving your channel. My new favorite!
Keep it going brother, you got this!
You keep being you. Keep making these awesome videos and I’ll continue to watch them. I wish you the best.
LETS GOOO!!!!! ANOTHER BANGER VIDEO!!!!
I'm glad you set up an account for donations, however small. It will help you get through the winter. Channeling a bit of Joe Pesci or John Leguizamo? The accent is very good! I love it! Keep up the positive attitude, it really helps! The cabin is looking great!
"I'm talking about you. Nerd"
🤣🤣
😂😂😂 cracking episode ❤❤❤
Don’t listen to the trolls. Ignore them they eventually go away. My only advice (coming from a person who has built a cabin) prioritize what needs done. Walls, windows and doors, vapor barrier, insulation (walls,roof,and floor), and then inner walls and ceiling, then how your going to heat your cabin. That little wood burner might work in that small cabin. Only drawback is that they are thin and flimsy which allows carbon monoxide to come out. But you got this friend!
A small stove would probably be so effective in that small space that he could crack a window open a little for air circulation.
Watching you from Hawaii…..you are funny, humble, innovative, determined!!! I enjoy your channel 🤙🏼 you got this!!!
Just go with the flow, we all have days where we feel we’re going slow, it’s ok,you’ll get there. I love your vulnerability and the way you talk out loud, it makes you honest and someone we can all relate to. I lie awake overthinking all the time, I’d give anything to be out there so I could vent my emotions to the trees without fear of being heard. Take care, we are all living the dream with you and await the day your dream home becomes a reality x
It’s looking great. If you get a chance you should check out Cabin River Outdoors. He is also building a cabin on a piece of extremely remote property in British Columbia. Hats off to you for jumping in with both feet and figuring out how to build and survive out there!
Nutty;as a fruit cake,but harmless.I wish you all the luck and will continue watching.Cannot by you a coffee watching from GB
You are doing a good job. Love watching you follow your dream. Loved your singing.
Love your videos...Keep dreaming.....Sometimes, It is good to make mistakes...You are young, and that is what life is about; learning from are mistakes...Next you need a wood shed...lol
Awesome little cabin Sean Paul !!!! Well done on finishing the walls. Go easy on yourself …….. we are here supporting you from near and far and celebrating your milestones no matter how big or small. You are doing what a lot of us would love to do !!!!!! Keep safe and keep up the good work!!!!! (South Africa 🇿🇦)
I see your video in my feed and I don’t hesitate to click immediately
Looks good and if your swinging hammers , eventually you make mistakes , think anyone who has used a hammer has hit a finger a time or two , you learn , also for winter snow , I’d suggest if you have time make a alittle shelter /roof for you wood to keep snow off it event if you just use trees for frame and tarp to cover it , if no time well just covering with a tarp will help keep wood dry and snow free , also for shovels don’t get big snow shovels get the smaller ones as you will move snow faster and easier with a small shovel , big snow shovels are only good on concrete and for light snow falls and a square metal shovel , works great also , it’s what I use in Canada smaller snow shovel and metal square shovels , the small metal ones are good to have in you truck if you get stuck a big snow shovel is useless to shovel under your truck , look forward to next video ! I’m a person that never asks for help and like to do things myself so I understand you ,
You are a wacky guy but I like you 😂
Sir.. you r amazing. I am living vicariously through you. If my wife was down to move to Alaska we would be there in a heartbeat.
I’m in the same situation, my wife refuses lol
I think it's an Anti Alaskan conspiracy..,my wife is in on it too.
@@Dkapparel23 my husband refuses. haha
I feel you.. Moved away from my grown daughter and friends for many years... It's hard..very hard..I have grieved and feel alone..but I KNOW living off grid and some self sufficiency is what is needed at this time in our country.. Give yourself time ..be patient with yourself that it IS normal..we have your back.
Absolutely love your channel
Take the offer..when you need it..yup tis your journey..enjoy..lol😊❤😊
Well done, Sean Paul! If you can find yourself a nice used snow machine for the winter it will make gathering wood and other daily activities much easier on you. Then you can build a nice sled to drag behind it on the channel.
Good morning 🌄 I have been looking forward to seeing your next video all week. I'm really happy when viewing your videos you make me smile and laugh with you. I am a senior and was very active until I wasn't. When I can work on my garden or spend a few hours in the kitchen I am super happy but when I can't reviewing your videos gives me joy. Thank you for having the courage to be yourself for the world to see. Have a fantastic week and give my love to your furry family 😻🐶
You are the MAN. Keep it up 🪵🏕️
I watched your last video this morning, then I just went to check RUclips and you just posted this. Got Hella excited hahaha
Your cat is just a darling
Cheers and hugz From The Yukon Territory and purrz from Bob-0-Lynx..yup 33:18 ...keep talking to yourself....lol..I do the same thing..tis good..😊❤😊
Enjoy your videos bro keep it up 👍 ✌️ 🇬🇾
Beautiful family you have.
Nice work brother, getting better!!
You is doing much better than I 😊❤😊
RIP sliding wall you will always be in our hearts!
Truly love your videos! Your personality is perfect for making videos like these! I hope that when you get your cabin done, you could go down and visit your family! Maybe you could fly down to Florida for Christmas! It would perhaps give you great energy and inspiration for the new year 😊
Im invested now, been waiting for each video. Keep it up. Learning as you go is the most bountiful process.
Just a reminder to always have a fire extinguisher on hand! Wild Homestead is a ytube channel that does same thing as you and his tent caught fire and burned everything down!
Your getting there buddy just love your positive outlook keep on keepin on. Horray for your nigehbours helping you out Alaskans are like the kindest hands down.
