i saw that as well. Possibly Devils Club too, i have had only a quick glance of it a couple times in his videos. but i have ran into both on several occasions here on the island.
That old cabin is Cool. The one thing i've learned about building in the middle of no where. is to use anything already existing. those roofing sheets are in valuable when it comes to Having endless uses. :-)
Steady sean. Besides proving hisrorical artifacts on your property therr is a lot to learn on pioneer building lessons from 150 years ago You said yourself good log work. I wpuld like a segment on just cleaning it up and weed wacking area just to be adventurius. Standing wall with a cable and comalong, don,t pop a disk or worse,,, ..
Nice work bro! Some handy work with that chainsaw!😄👌. A little scary watching you get that wall up on your own but you got it! Next time you’ll have to call in for reinforcements, you can just call on Kody, Guy and myself and we’ll cheer you on as we have a beverage on the sidelines😅. Well done, I’ll be checking out the other videos👍🏼
The whole time you were struggling with that wall, I was thinking I would have done what you eventually did at 23:20. Multiple cleats. I'd have put them closer together and on both sides so you only had to lift one corner of the wall at a time. Easy for me to say from the comfort of my kitchen table munching on a bagel. Enjoying the series. Keep 'em comin'!
Right? 😅 I was wondering if I dared to say something, because like you said.. easy from the cost home base but yeah, exactly what you wrote is what I was thinking out of experience because I literally do not have that kind of strength.. I have build a complete house with someone and most of the time I was the problem solver.. Edit: I hope that you will read this part below, forget that I was answering and this piece is not a part of that.. lol! 😅😂 And what absolutely helps is sleeping over it a night or few, so that was definitely the best approach 👍 In the end you got there, chapeau! I hope that you will do a 30% +/- or something angle over the porch, it keeps snow/rain more or less away from your door.. And maybe for practice and just looks, make tree log posts and stairs in front? It's giving a little bit more wood cabin vibes that way? 😊 But nevertheless, hat off to you Sir! And the editing gets better and better each episode I notice!! It is greatly appreciated that you are taking us along your video journal/journey, thank you for this! By the way, happy to see that you didn't get chased by mother bear cause she was trying to sniff where you were for sure! Maybe it is a plan to set some trail camera's on your property where you have your cabin, just to see what is sharing "your " property cause the animals didn't get that memo, 😉 Keep trucking on, hope you had fine Christmas, it's up to the new year now! See you then, I'll don't comment often but I'll be watching 👍😎 Ow, btw.. are you still in this winter time on your property or elsewhere .. I wonder if the floor isn't too cold since that isn't isolated.. and stoves aren't that warm I believe, unless you have a big barrel stove that can fill the space?
Hey bud. Love the channel and the property. Awesome job on the cabin. You asked for an easier way to stand that wall and the only thing I could think is to leave the plywood off of the frame until it’s standing. You can use a couple scraps of 2x4 or something to set the lower sheet in place, once the frame is standing, and then use the lower sheet to set the upper. Too late now, but might help in the future. Keep up the good work!
NO!!! Don't burn the cabin. That would be an awesome adventure for years to come for your kids, grandchildren, neices, nephews... What an awesome find. I was told once, it's just your time to have this. The land and river will be there for many generations to come... Just make it better while you have it and leave it to the next generation. Oh, and as for the heavy wall. Take the sheeting off...
Love the channel absolutely awesome build/content One suggestion with the wall would be a tackle block/pulley or two and some rope you would be uard it up no problem even though you got it thats a lot of strain on the back and body be safe!
I've watched several channels' construction of off-grid cabins. What sets yours apart is the..."unpolished" nature of the videoing. The obvious exhaustion on your face, the camera shake from the hammer blows' impacts, and the realism of how difficult something like this would be. I appreciate that gritty quality, and although you are many episodes into the realm of success, I wish you well on your endeavor. That having been said, as a fan, I respectfully suggest taking "smaller bites" with some of your efforts. You could have easily hurt yourself miles and miles (km and km) away from any assistance. With the peace your finding, I hope you find patience and planning to be a greater and greater part of your build process. I am enjoying your channel, subscribed, liked, and shared! I never share so I hope you know how much I am rooting for you!! Be safe and enjoy your dream!!
With standing a wall there’s this method called toe-nailing so that you’re not fighting that little 2x4 stop you put in your deck, so you put a few nails along your bottom 2x4 into your floor on your standing side and they’ll hold the wall without it sliding as you lift it
Two things: 1) Be sure to get screen/vents to fill the gap you left under the eve, otherwise you'll get critters moving in, 2) Personal preference, but I'd have hinged the door on the left side so it doesn't swing into the center of the deck. But I do like watching. Thanks.
Great work, Brother!! You’ve got a great attitude & it’d be a pleasure to work with you. Thank you for taking the time to produce some great content, I definitely look forward to your video uploads. Ps Only the cool people journal, been doing it for for years now😎
Absolutely love your adventure Shawn. You're doing a great job, and making due with what you've got is a battle but it feels good once you get 'r done. Congrats on being able to stay on your property. That will make progress so much easier and quicker. You're a beast dude, great job!!
To help lift the wall. No sheeting would lighten the load. More cleats would helped walk it up. Rope and pulley from a tree maybe. Also I would have used a ratchet strap to pull the bottom of the wall in before the final lift. I enjoy your videos. Wish I was in the position where I could build my own cabin off grid. It’s always been a dream of mine.
I have decided if I ever go in the backcountry to build an off grid cabin. I would make a Come Along Winch several pulleys and large webbing to use as a tree saver and 3 to 4 foot of chain a must have in my tools. It could be used to move a stump, log, rocks, and stand walls up.
OMG! You made my day… You had me laughing so hard when you were trying to put up the 10 foot wall. Thanks so much for sharing your life journey and keep up the good work and enjoy the process of every step of your building and take time to just sit there and be part of the land.
You definitely need to close in the underside of your little house to keep the cold out and to have additional storage space you could salvage some of that tin/metal roofing from that old cabin on the other side and scope it out you may find an old wood burning stove in there that may just need a new vent stack.
I think a come-along would’ve helped get that wall up. I am sure it would come in handy in a bunch of situations in your environment like felling trees and moving very heavy objects. Give it some thought. You can get one when you go back to get that saw you already paid for.😮😮😅😅😅😊😊
it would make more sense financially.. and work wise and sturdiness to build a log cabin. log cabins have their own insulation properties.. the exterior and interior come finished... just put some protective coating on them. the cost for building supplies likely wont come down for years.. with a log house you only need your tools and gas and some metal pins you can take rebar and cut them yourself. you already have the logs.... just peel them. fire protection is awesome with a log house... a lot harder to get it burning.. especially if you have a metal roof on. you just have to allow for the log house to settle.. that means sliders for the windows and doors.. and some adjustments to let the log house settle down without wrecking the roof of your deck or porch.
I really like your channel. I look forward to the videos. If I was there, I'd never come out. Totally pull the plug on society... until I needed toilet paper and a cheese burger.
Shawn, I watched this again. Next time get 80’ or 100’ feet of climbing rope, tie off up in a tree and utilize a pully system, it doubles or triples your lifting potential. Try it you’ll like it (-;
Wow, what a great episode! Cabin looks like it will do the job, congratulations on leaving base camp, that’s definitely a huge leap forward, well done!!!
Thanks for the update. To tell the truth I sort of love when you forget your saw at the shop but make do with a chainsaw. Have a massive issue with a heavy wall and sleep on it and overcome the issues. It's great watching it all come together but also see your problems and issues that life gives you. Then watch as you work around it all, yeh its not perfect but you get it sorted so very well done. More people could do with your mind set and learn to overcome issues and work them out instead of complainingand giving up. As always thanks again for your time and effort videoing for us all following. Thanks and keep the updates coming 👍
Number 1 Fan here. Looking back at some of your older videos I haven’t yet viewed. Anyhow, thanks for explaining as you build and work. Some of us are here learning. Takin it all in Shawn T you make it look so easy. Even in the middle of no where. Also, love those owl hoots. Also, Mr Finley recognizes your voice hehe. Just thought I’d share.
Great channel to watch. Man you got all that free roofing well worth the time and effort to salvage it. The cabin is coming along nicely. Take the time to really look into salvage of any materials you can from the old cabin and what folks left around. Time to invest in a small power station and solar panel for power needs. When doing a wall solo use a prop with several blocks to catch the prop in steps to let you lift in small steps solo.
I am know I am late to this party - but I just got to say 1) love the videos - getting caught up, and 2) was sitting in the truck waiting on my wife, and I was shouting (cheering) you on with that wall. People walking by thought I was nuts! Good job!
The metal roofing is a good find scavenge what you can from the old cabin site. On your big walls leave the plywood off and sheet walls after they are stood, plumbed, and squared,
congrats on making your walls going deeper than your floor! seen so many people build ther cabins and stuff sitting the but end of the wall onto the floor welcoming in all the water lol! for the door i would sugest making it the other way around opening to the inside if you get a lot of snow there so you wont be trapped inside

This all reminds me so much of my own backcountry projects in Nova Scotia's outback. Firstly, your problems with charging batteries for tools, phones, etc. I remember when on day 1 of building a cabin my contractor came to pour concrete footings. He brought a pump to clear water from the holes but didn't bring electricity :(. For you more than an hour to the hardware store, for me still half an hour, but I came back with a small generator. A piece of shit :) but it saved our project. Solar etc. is all fine, but a generator can save the day, a jerry-can of gas is easy to get and transport. And although noisy, it will run and charge every electric device. Now 10+ years later, we hardly need it anymore, a few battery packs and some solar panels are doing the job. And having to clear the land around also sounds very familiar :). I cut out tens of trees that could fall on the cabin. Same story: my old neighbours told me that 50+ years ago this was all pastures for cattle instead of the woodland that it is now.
Shawn, journal writing is an art, practiced, learned and mastered by just a few. Keep your journal first for yourself then for posterity. Good work and happy trails!
I just started watching your series and have enjoyed watching your problem solving and gotta say thank you for including imperial… it helps us Americans 😂 Be safe out there! Can you imagine the bears after a week or 2 trapped under that wall?
Well done! That wall being too heavy, is one of my fears in building my own cabin! I am not near as strong as you! As you were getting it up, i thought, maybe that is why some people build A-frames😂.
Maybe you can pick up that hand saw on a return trip to town, as long as you kept the receipt You picked a fantastic location for your first cabin build though, the view of the river from the cabin is great…
Get yourself a solar power unit. Like a Jackery. There are many choices. Charge batteries on site. With that wall, put the plywood on after lifting the wall. It'd be much lighter. Amazon has some sawmills with which you can cut your boards. Just some ideas. No idea what your finances are.
Watching you place that wall had me fidgeting in my chair. Then I thought it was going to fall the other way. Anyway looking forward to watch your progress on your build.
It's great watching someone with your experience level. Hard to relate to all these very experienced bushman. I can see myself making all the same mistakes, probably many more lol. Keep up the good work👍💪
Another great video,. When we first moved to dome there was no power in the church so we had to do a lot of chainsaw carpentry. Heheeh but it works. 🇨🇦❄️
ropes and a tree or stump to pull it around make standing walls up WAY easier. also if your doing something heavier then you can handle by hand getting a come along can really take the stress off for the hardest points
Hi. Great project. A dream for so many! Keep up the videos. Re. Standing the walls, the obvious solution is -don't. As it appears you realised with the last one, leave the plywood off until it's in place. You don't need all the framework either if it's too heavy, just enough to hold it together. All other pieces can be added individually once it's up. Keep it square with a temporary diagonal brace.. Looking forward to the next episode
I hate to see people struggling brother but you cussed your way through it, the cabin looks great, loving the channel so far
Great adventure ! Beware your property contains a lot of Giant Hog Weed ! The sap can leave nasty burns on your skin when exposed to sunlight.
I noticed them as well.
I was wincing as he pushed past them
i saw that as well. Possibly Devils Club too, i have had only a quick glance of it a couple times in his videos. but i have ran into both on several occasions here on the island.

You said yourself good log work. I wpuld like a segment on just cleaning it up and weed wacking area just to be adventurius. Standing wall with a cable and comalong, don,t pop a disk or worse,,,
..
Right on!. That old metal roofing in worth keeping!
Nice work bro! Some handy work with that chainsaw!😄👌. A little scary watching you get that wall up on your own but you got it!

That wall was a mother trucker... Solid work getting the wall in place.
Your struggle with that wall - and how you overcame it - I was rooting for you!! Looking forward to the next video!!

I'd have put them closer together and on both sides so you only had to lift one corner of the wall at a time. Easy for me to say from the comfort of my kitchen table munching on a bagel.

Yep take off the plywood and 50# belt. You got it done all that counts
A rope to the tree standing in front and a pully would be safer....
Hey bud. Love the channel and the property. Awesome job on the cabin.

Me watching you push the wall into place when you finally got it up I was like 😬😬😬😬😬
You need a come-a-long around a tree,and attached to top of wall.
I really enjoy the content, its authentic and shows how hard the work actually is. Looking forward to the next video!
Great work, Brother!! You’ve got a great attitude & it’d be a pleasure to work with you. Thank you for taking the time to produce some great content, I definitely look forward to your video uploads. Ps Only the cool people journal, been doing it for for years now😎
Good to see you again. You're doing great. Next cabin maybe just frame the walls then add the sheeting once it's firmly in place.
Go get all the tin off the old
Cabin the progress is brilliant keep up the good work
Absolutely love your adventure Shawn. You're doing a great job, and making due with what you've got is a battle but it feels good once you get 'r done. Congrats on being able to stay on your property. That will make progress so much easier and quicker. You're a beast dude, great job!!
To lift that wall, use a pulley and rope. Pulleys will give you mechanical advantages.

Nice job !! The only thing i can complain about, is when you said next video in few week 🤣. I cant wait so long for a next épisode 👌 .

Wow, what a great episode! Cabin looks like it will do the job, congratulations on leaving base camp, that’s definitely a huge leap forward, well done!!!
The metal screen in the window of the old cabin is actually the spring frame from a metal bed of the 1940s-50s
You are doing great keep it up!
So glad to see you didn't tip that wall over once you got it up. High drama!
Amazing! Thank you for this inspiration😊

Well, that's a well built cabin / shed ......nice work !
I thought the nails sticking out were a good bear deterrent.

Thanks for another video!
Watching you move the wall was thrilling. I am glad you got ‘er!

congrats on making your walls going deeper than your floor! seen so many people build ther cabins and stuff sitting the but end of the wall onto the floor welcoming in all the water lol!
for the door i would sugest making it the other way around opening to the inside if you get a lot of snow there so you wont be trapped inside
i'd be salvaging that sheet metal roof right away
Use your haul strap, attach it to the tree and crank it up
walls first, plywood next!!!
❤ very good video
and you need a pair of ear muffs, trust me on that, even when riding the boat.

Nail boards to floor to stop board from sliding back
Just a suggestion. Next frame walls stand them then sheet, easier your your back.
Great job. I just love it. thanks for sharing.
Man, you can build a mini village on that property. So much potential on that land.
I’m gonna bed in bed recovering for a week just from watching you get that wall up! Gotta hand it to you you didn’t give up and you got it done. 👍🏼
Man, I was getting nervous that the wall would tip over the other way in the end. Nice job figuring it out!
This all reminds me so much of my own backcountry projects in Nova Scotia's outback. Firstly, your problems with charging batteries for tools, phones, etc. I remember when on day 1 of building a cabin my contractor came to pour concrete footings. He brought a pump to clear water from the holes but didn't bring electricity :(. For you more than an hour to the hardware store, for me still half an hour, but I came back with a small generator. A piece of shit :) but it saved our project.
Solar etc. is all fine, but a generator can save the day, a jerry-can of gas is easy to get and transport. And although noisy, it will run and charge every electric device. Now 10+ years later, we hardly need it anymore, a few battery packs and some solar panels are doing the job.
And having to clear the land around also sounds very familiar :). I cut out tens of trees that could fall on the cabin. Same story: my old neighbours told me that 50+ years ago this was all pastures for cattle instead of the woodland that it is now.
You should get a snatch block and some rope to help you lift the walls.
❤a comelong attached to a tree connected to topof wall
Shawn, journal writing is an art, practiced, learned and mastered by just a few. Keep your journal first for yourself then for posterity. Good work and happy trails!
If you had several wood stops,you could do it a bit at a time!
Getting that wall up was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen, well done! Glad you managed it in the end 😊
Buy a Maasdam rope ratchet and a few cheap small bottle jacks. Your gonna need all the mechanical help you can with construction 😀
Great work!
I was clapping and cheering when you finally got that wall in. Great Job dude. And you're right the struggle was real.
Love the new wheels! Van for the win 🤘🏼
Good work shaun, loving watching the progress, you are doing a great job, keep the content coming 👍
I just started watching your series and have enjoyed watching your problem solving and gotta say thank you for including imperial… it helps us Americans 😂
Be safe out there! Can you imagine the bears after a week or 2 trapped under that wall?
slowly block each side higher and higher.. Furture use a block and tackle.....rope, pulley in the trees, gradually lift, slowly...all the best
The amount of patience and determination.... Hope you can get RUclips rich living the dream.
Well done! That wall being too heavy, is one of my fears in building my own cabin! I am not near as strong as you! As you were getting it up, i thought, maybe that is why some people build A-frames😂.
Incredible progress!
Maybe you can pick up that hand saw on a return trip to town, as long as you kept the receipt
You picked a fantastic location for your first cabin build though, the view of the river from the cabin is great…
Dude loving the videos.
Come alongs would be good for many applications
Hi great progress all the hard work is paying off merry Christmas all the very best 👍
Get yourself a solar power unit. Like a Jackery. There are many choices.
Charge batteries on site.
With that wall, put the plywood on after lifting the wall. It'd be much lighter.
Amazon has some sawmills with which you can cut your boards.
Just some ideas. No idea what your finances are.
Watching you place that wall had me fidgeting in my chair. Then I thought it was going to fall the other way. Anyway looking forward to watch your progress on your build.
Hang in there, you're doing an amazing job. I love your property- the river out your front door is heavenly!
Si impteased watching your determination. Love the buzzer sound!
Love the series! Keep up the good work
You need a block and tackle in a tree and some line. Or a block and a come-along.
Maybe you should board the frame, after you have it standing and nailed in place.
Maybe a come along to pull the wall up and have a 2X4 brace ready on either side of the wall ready to nail?
you might add a ( come a long) or a hand winch for lifting or moving heavy loads you are one brave soul good luck fair winds and following seas.
It's great watching someone with your experience level. Hard to relate to all these very experienced bushman. I can see myself making all the same mistakes, probably many more lol. Keep up the good work👍💪
Congrats,,, something dry to sleep in. PRICELESS
Another great video,. When we first moved to dome there was no power in the church so we had to do a lot of chainsaw carpentry. Heheeh but it works. 🇨🇦❄️
Got rope and a pulley? Tree perpendicular to wall?
Maybe a few strips of wood on the floor like a ladder to work like a ratchet with the center strip of wood you put
Well done
If you had a come along maybe you can use the trees around you to lift up the wall
ropes and a tree or stump to pull it around make standing walls up WAY easier. also if your doing something heavier then you can handle by hand getting a come along can really take the stress off for the hardest points
Was thinking the same thing a couple lines and a snatch block up a tree can gain you a great lifting advantage.
Hi. Great project. A dream for so many! Keep up the videos. Re. Standing the walls, the obvious solution is -don't. As it appears you realised with the last one, leave the plywood off until it's in place. You don't need all the framework either if it's too heavy, just enough to hold it together. All other pieces can be added individually once it's up. Keep it square with a temporary diagonal brace..
Looking forward to the next episode
