You remind me so much of myself 40 some years ago. I lived in a hand made cabin in the mountains of Colarado. Splitting wood for my cookstove on a stump right in the kitchen. The lifestyle set me up for a long and happy life. Now in my 70's my soul is full with the memories of doing the things I loved. Hope your's is just as full.
Been off grid for 14 years now in the high desert forest. Water harvesting, solar, generator backup, Washer, dryer, microwaves, large oven, 3300 gal water storage, many options for cooking, rocket stove, No end to available wood, just getting too old to keep up anymore. Everyone has their own way to do it but almost anyone can do it if they want to. I've done it all alone after being given maybe a year or two to live because of all the health problems. That was 14 years ago! Doing this made me stronger and greatly extended my life expectancy. I really didn't believe I could survive it but now I'm feeling better than I ever have. It is very lonely however.
It is actually very inspiring to hear that it made you stronger. A lot of us may have different reasons for dreaming about this lifestyle, which in my perspective is probably the closest way to get closer to nature , and to the nature of our purpose in life. Many may however not understand the hectic daily worries of modern cities are not what we as human beings have embedded in our DNA . Survival and the appreciation of living through the purest form is magnificent display gratitude, however long must one choose to live this way .
We have a predator generator, and we were flooded in 2022, all my husband did was drain the fluids and blow everything out, add new fluid and a new battery and it started on the first pull. Our shop had 18+ inches of mud and water run through it. We love it and will buy another when the time comes.
Living off grid is re-creating the late 1800's in style , and it's sweet . I was homeless at one point and except for not having a shower when you want it didn't bother me , it was camping full time.
The sound of the wood being chopped, that’s a sound I will still love when I eventually go off grid, I’m trying to do it but I’m surrounded by reasons I can’t do it at the moment. I just hope I don’t get too old when I do get there. Love the cabin and the dog too
The logs are looking sweet, so straight and tall. You've done an awesome job with the other cabins. This one will be special. Love what ya'll are doing 😊
memories are so select. i remember as a baby looking at my grandmothers cooking stove.. my mom had placed me by the stove in a basket. i do not know the age i was, maybe three or so. but i remember with clarity the fire crackling thru the air vent on the left side of the stove. i remember the smell of burning wood, which today i love. i remember the crackle and snapping as it burned. the glow lit up the area. i also remember the rest of the house was ice cold. they would put me in bed in the next room, and pile blankets on me, then i would tunnel my way into it, and it was like a warm cave, built for me. at 62, and a successful military career. i am far removed from that period of time. just once, i would love to be able to experience that moment again. all of it, the warm stove, the cold bedroom, the smells of cooking, and my mom and grandmother talking. my mother taking me to the store for food. the large wheel of cheese on the counter, barrels of candy, two for a penny. i visit my home town at least once every two years. i still drive by the old farm house, long gone.

Your farm is getting more and more beautiful. In Brazil, people eat fried liver in many different ways, grilled as pate, I really like eating liver seasoned with lemon salt and then deep fried.
Hello friend 😊, a great learning day for me, good pot shelf, I eat beef interior, burgers never thought of it, I will try, it must be delicious, I like the recipe Hey, eat well and take care of yourself, 😋be blessed😊
Kyle you have put out another good episode, and I can say what I appreciate most about your channel and your approach to life is the no nonsense way that you go about things never a bunch of fillers always str8 forward. Looking forward to seeing the next build as time and weather permits. Everyone take care until the next video.
I admire this guy he’s young and he’s hard working as hell and he’s doing what I’ve always wanted to do live off the grid slide off the map and be completely self sufficient he’s a boss good luck to you in all your endeavors kyle
I cut off my thumb chopping wood exactly like how you did here. Not about to try and tell you or anyone how to chop, but watching you do that gives me the heebie jeebies to say the least!
So glad to see another one of your videos, Kyle. Always enjoy watching you and Cierra fulfilling your dream, and having more than one cabin. I cannot wait until it gets warmer so you can start building your other one. Skeeter is such a great dog and you’re so lucky to have him. I can tell he loves you so much.. Take care all of you.
I just love your videos. I hope when you get my age. (85) That you don't have to many aches and pains. I too love outdoor life and being close to God. Bless you and your family. The doggies and kitty. All brave, just like you.
Thanks Kyle for taking us along. Good to see kitty and love how Skeeter looks after you so well. He loves his human!😊 I really wish I could live this way but age and medical issues plus no way to have a homestead make it kind of sad some days. I can live vicariously through you guys. 😊😊
I was one of your first subscriber’s & I lived in Northern Mn. for years & appreciated everything you did & do. Love Ciera & Skeeter & kitty too. Your grandfather would be very proud of you Kyle!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Y'all really might wanna consider checking into some wind turbines to augment your power production. Especially during winter months, seems the worse the weather gets, those wind turbines keep on producing power day and night, provided the wind is blowing. Anyways, there are some good diy turbine builds and something like that would be pretty easy to build given your skills. Would really come in handy to keep the chicken shed warm enough so the water wouldn't freeze.
Hard at work Kyle with Skeeter by your side. So sweet. I love seeing the chickens too! Happy you made it easier on yourself peeling the logs. Am I looking forward to you building your new cabin. I am sure it will be amazing! You have an awesome work ethic. So glad your well is working as expected to make your life a bit easier. Looking forward to your next video. Keep warm ♥️♥️
Love watching. your property is amazing. Can’t wait till you start working on the new cabin. Love your chickens and I definitely love your dog until your next video stay warm stay safe and God bless.
I’m out here in Mankato MN and I have yet to see a cabin home.. my dream is to build one two story one from the ground up. Cozy and warm for my little family and I. Love watching the process😊
Super smart to char the stumps and setting them on concrete pads! Most of the ancient houses and temples that have survived a few hundred years in Japan that are built out of wood are done this way except they are set on rock pads. They use Cedar which has more rot resistance.
I grew up in Saskatchewan Canada. So, cabins were a very common thing. Now that my wife and I built one in the back of our yard (at our farm) I can't stop watching cabin videos. Lol
You are making good progress winter slows things however. Must say never seen it stop you from moving forward.Things no doubt will look musch diffrent by next fall. Stay safe and warm young fella.
Yes the peditor gens are awesome I’ve got two of the 5000 one at the cabin and one here at home I need to go to my cabin but I’ve had medical issues but it’s getting better buddy I’ll be back in the groove soon lol !
7:35 minutes in, Skeeter is just to adorable! My springer spaniel would do the same. Busy working but, nope, gotta stop to cuddle! Love your videos, and keep up the good work! Love seeing Skeeter ❤️🐶
Hey Kyle. I use a dual fuel generator that runs off gas or LP. I run it on just LP and love it. I have a 250 gal LP tank that I use for the generator but mostly for backup heat. Only fill it once a year. Costs around $400 a yr. The generator also has a remote start so in the AM I don’t have to get out of bed to start it…. Sweet. Thought I’d pass it along. Good luck with popple cabin. You worried about insects? Looks like your property was logged off about 30-40 yrs ago. Plenty of good sized trees for cabin.
A very wise old man told me that if I want to build a log cabin, select a place with a good strong tree in a level location. Cut the tree down to about 12 feet high and build the cabin around it. Use the tree to attach some rigging to hoist the logs as you build.
Kyle, if those trees are winter cut get a 3000 psi pressure washer it will debark those trees in minutes and you're left with a baby smooth finish on the logs.
My Grampa Jo had a dog named Skeeter. As a young man he and his dad and brother cleared a densely wooded lot in northern Bruce Peninsula in Ontario. That was our family cottage for my mom’s childhood then mine. It didn’t have an indoor bathroom or anything growing up, wood cook stove and we spent many days at the lake. My Grampa retired from his long career as a machinist at a newspaper factory. He sold his house and used that money to turn the cottage into a year round house. He did most of the work himself. But he unfortunately got an aggressive cancer and died right before it was finished 😢 My nana even though she was a city girl lived there into her 80s till she had to go into a nursing home. Somehow it got into my soul though. I love the outdoors and camping and fishing like my Grampa. My hubby is way way up north in Ontario at a wildness lodge outpost. He’s building cabins at a fly in remote outpost then going back to the lodge till fall. He will come home right before I have our sixth baby. We dream of someday being able to buy a little land and do it for ourselves. Thank you for your video ❤❤❤

What a lovely memories to have! Wish all the best sir 🤍
Wow, where do you live now? You must have many stories!
lovely to know this, i hope one day i could lead a life like this.
You Sir are remarkable and awesome 😊❤
I'm going in this direction😊

Watching this keeps me sane. Living in a neighborhood with a job and a mortgage, this is the kind of content that makes it OK. You rock.
Living off grid is re-creating the late 1800's in style , and it's sweet . I was homeless at one point and except for not having a shower when you want it didn't bother me , it was camping full time.
Your work ethic is amazing!
Thanks Kyle!
He’s doing a great job

A Hockey rink would be a really cool addition.
The logs are looking sweet, so straight and tall. You've done an awesome job with the other cabins. This one will be special. Love what ya'll are doing 😊
I think you are a very smart young man and admire your work ethic .
When Skeeter came up to you for some cuddles...SO freakin sweet! 🥰
@Maricomich Hi 😊
Love you guys! ❤ thank you so much for sharing. Skeeter is adorable as always
Always enjoy your videos from sunny FloRida... Cheers

my mother taking me to the store for food.
the large wheel of cheese on the counter, barrels of candy, two for a penny.
i visit my home town at least once every two years.

A True Minnesotan! Loved the Hockey rink comment. I played hockey on soooo many outdoor rinks growing up.
Nice to hear you played hockey 🏒 😊
Greetings to Jack
Love the way Skeeter idolized you. What a dog!
Thanks Kyle,
Hope you have a great day buddy.
Have a great day too Scott
The snow is so beautiful, I wish I could go there, my country doesn't have snow, I'm imagining what it would be like to work with snow
Your farm is getting more and more beautiful. In Brazil, people eat fried liver in many different ways, grilled as pate, I really like eating liver seasoned with lemon salt and then deep fried.

Enjoy your vids.
He’s doing a great job. Hi Mike 👋
Very nice kyle. Getting that well put in is one of the best things you and your wife did. Fresh water right outside your front door is priceless
Can't wait to see the building of the new cabin .
I’m sure it will be amazing.

Being from Northern MN myself, I couldn't agree more with the ice rink idea! Really enjoy your channel!
Thanks for the video Kyle.
I am really looking forward to the new cabin build. U have amazing energy to keep going . 😊
@Maricomich busy
@Maricomich I’m cooking some dinners for my freezer.

@Maricomich hi. I’m in uk so I’m just going to bed. It’s 11 pm here
Thank you! I always really enjoy the videos!!!
Nice.. you all stay warm up there in the great white north !
Congratulations on your sale on your cabin by me. You did well on that deal. Good for you.
Did he sale the other cabin?
Ÿès he did sell it
Hi John
Creating the dream, and making it happen. Can't wait to watch the build! Awesome, Kyle!
I love your animals ❤
Super smart to char the stumps and setting them on concrete pads! Most of the ancient houses and temples that have survived a few hundred years in Japan that are built out of wood are done this way except they are set on rock pads. They use Cedar which has more rot resistance.
Looking good Kyle
Great progress!!👍👍👍
He’s doing a great job. 😊😊
Greetings to you John 👋
The inside of your cabin is so neat and organized. Love it. Can't wait to see what you build next. Peace Love Happiness
That well must be such a convenience! Great job on the logs! Looking forward to the cabin build! 🙂
It’s moving right along!! Great job!
Keep on keeping on Kyle 👍
The only thing about winter that is good.......beer stays cold......no bugs.....!
Yes you’re right lol. Do you love winter?
I like what you post and all the stuff you are doing, keep up what looks to be the good work and I can't wait for the next one and what you do next!
I'd love to see a video of Skeeter clips. Love your stuff. Tell your folks I sez hi.
Yay, can't wait to see you starting up your new log cabin!!! 🥰
Thanks, you too!!!@Maricomich
Kyle you seem so smart and mature for your age . Most people your age are very lazy. Proud of you and the progress you've done on the property. 😊😊
I grew up in Saskatchewan Canada. So, cabins were a very common thing. Now that my wife and I built one in the back of our yard (at our farm) I can't stop watching cabin videos. Lol
You are making good progress winter slows things however. Must say never seen it stop you from moving forward.Things no doubt will look musch diffrent by next fall. Stay safe and warm young fella.

Greetings to you Michael
Excited to see the new build!
Thanks for sharing your progress on the log cabin and Skeeter too...
Another good one Kyle. Keep them coming.
Yes the peditor gens are awesome I’ve got two of the 5000 one at the cabin and one here at home I need to go to my cabin but I’ve had medical issues but it’s getting better buddy I’ll be back in the groove soon lol !
Yes they are awesome ❤😊..
Greetings to you Eric. How are you?
7:35 minutes in, Skeeter is just to adorable! My springer spaniel would do the same. Busy working but, nope, gotta stop to cuddle! Love your videos, and keep up the good work! Love seeing Skeeter ❤️🐶
Good job brother.
Hey Kyle. I use a dual fuel generator that runs off gas or LP. I run it on just LP and love it. I have a 250 gal LP tank that I use for the generator but mostly for backup heat. Only fill it once a year. Costs around $400 a yr. The generator also has a remote start so in the AM I don’t have to get out of bed to start it…. Sweet. Thought I’d pass it along. Good luck with popple cabin. You worried about insects? Looks like your property was logged off about 30-40 yrs ago. Plenty of good sized trees for cabin.
Lol love the remote start! Smart.
If it's a system for back-up heat why would you not just plumb in a direct vent propane wall heater since that would be more efficient?
I love your video please keep it up
Looking forward to the build
Thanks Kyle for another great video.
Awesome video really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
Great stuff as always! I've saved the last 3 videos to binge all at once. Hope you two had a great Christmas!
Kyle love the videos, keep up the great work, you have a great attitude and an even better work ethic 👍👍👍👍👍👍, can’t wait for the new log cabin built.
Definitely need to build the rink!!
Of course. I’m sure he will. Hockey 🏒 is awesome.
Hi Jeff
Im going to up north
Glad i found your channel brother, looking forward to seeing the cabin build, good luck
First time watcher here, very cool video!
I’m excited to watch you build the new log cabin. Have a great day. Hello Cierra.❤
A very wise old man told me that if I want to build a log cabin, select a place with a good strong tree in a level location. Cut the tree down to about 12 feet high and build the cabin around it. Use the tree to attach some rigging to hoist the logs as you build.
Thanks for the videos Kyle, and Happy Holidays!
Kyle, if those trees are winter cut get a 3000 psi pressure washer it will debark those trees in minutes and you're left with a baby smooth finish on the logs.
My Grampa Jo had a dog named Skeeter. As a young man he and his dad and brother cleared a densely wooded lot in northern Bruce Peninsula in Ontario. That was our family cottage for my mom’s childhood then mine. It didn’t have an indoor bathroom or anything growing up, wood cook stove and we spent many days at the lake. My Grampa retired from his long career as a machinist at a newspaper factory. He sold his house and used that money to turn the cottage into a year round house. He did most of the work himself. But he unfortunately got an aggressive cancer and died right before it was finished 😢 My nana even though she was a city girl lived there into her 80s till she had to go into a nursing home. Somehow it got into my soul though. I love the outdoors and camping and fishing like my Grampa. My hubby is way way up north in Ontario at a wildness lodge outpost. He’s building cabins at a fly in remote outpost then going back to the lodge till fall. He will come home right before I have our sixth baby. We dream of someday being able to buy a little land and do it for ourselves. Thank you for your video ❤❤❤
