DIY Solo Off Grid Log Woodshed Build From Start To Finish
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Hammered out the new woodshed. This is a very important structure on our off grid homestead. It will keep rain and snow off our firewood allowing it to dry/season and will also give us a spot to park the 4wheeler and a couple of other things. A new upgraded chicken coop is on the docket next. #diy #outdoors #homestead
If can keep water away they will last a very long time!
I like the natural build!
Have you contacted Bluetti about being a sponsor!
That would really help you being off grid!
Thank you! They have contacted me but I don’t want any sponsors. I think it’s kind of ruining RUclips. I like doing RUclips because I like doing RUclips, but I want to do it on my own terms, when I want, and say what I want to say, and share what I want to share. With no filters. Once you start accepting money from sponsors you are no longer free, and that’s no way to live.
@@KYLESCABIN reading some of these comments is quite enlightening and I love your honesty about not wanting others being involved with your life. I totally agree Kyle your life style will change & you will no longer have your anonymity to do it alone. So I applaud you for being Independent from others & as always travel well & stay safe.
I also see RUclips videos where people get free metal storage sheds by sponsoring
@@KYLESCABIN right on, Kyle! 👍👍👍

Absolutely, if the product helps the content creator I’ll watch the sales pitch! Its a win for both!
I admire Kyle for doing just what he does!
Let’s face it, we carry to much stuff!
He needs a good natural build shop!
If I was him I’d checkout Mr chickadee and kris harbor for ways to build with natural materials or as many natural materials to keep costs to minimum!
He’s young and health with a woodsman’s heart!
Very nice. I just love watching you build things. I'm older, 65 and I think of my Da when I watch you. My job as a child was to hand him the level so he didn't didn't have to get down off the ladder. Great memories. Wishing you, Ciera and your homestead all the best. 👍
Nice job Kyle you just gave me a way to store my snowmobiles and my firewood, I may do sheet metal for the roof due to a lot of trees around me. This construction is a lot cheaper than a pole barn. Thanks👍
The best part about log building is that you already own the building materials!
You're one heck of a hard working man, Kyle! I enjoy seeing what you do at your cabin. I always look forward to the videos. 😃
So good to see you back building things again Kyle. You have a ‘no nonsense’ style, and I really appreciate that. I’m looking forward to seeing your next series of episodes now that the snow has gone. Cheers from Australia 👏🏻🇦🇺🦘
Great stuff, Kyle. I enjoy watching your builds. That is going to be so useful.
Cool woodshed! Will be nice to have a garage for the 4 wheeler as well.
Wish I lived in a place where I only had to dig post holes 16" deep!
I was wondering about the depth of the posts too. I keep reading they need to be a foot deeper than the frost line. (We live in northern Maine so we’d be digging each hole like 5 feet deep.) Is that really necessary!? I highly doubt the way Kyle did his is a foot below their frost line up there.
Absolutely fascinating watching you do what you do. And as always watching Skeeter and Kitty do what they do. 👍😉✌❤
Very nice ! Are you going to close the sides or put a log floor where you are going to park the 4 wheeler ? Just wondering . I look forward to the next video .Thanks Kyle
If it wasn't for Firewood Storage, you basically just built yourself a "shallow" 3-Car Garage/Carport!
You are a very impressive young man. The wood shed will stand for a long time. Looks very sturdy. Be safe. Love your videos. Till next time.
nice job man, made it look easy!
Thanks! It’s simple process just a lot of labor
All the effort you put into your homestead really shows. Woodshed looks great and being able to add on to it will come in handy. It's what works best for me..very well said! Thanks for another great video.
This is so nice! You should be proud. Always love watching your channel.
Dang. I’m over by Finland, MN and still have about 2 ft of snow on the ground at my cabin.
I'm in babbitt mn and got snow and froze ground. Kyle must be in the sunshine spot close to us. Lol 4 more wet inches of snow sat Sunday with some rain. If you get to babbitt look me up. Nice to visit with like mined people. In town but got a cabin out in the woods also
Poplar is a great building material. Back in the day the wooden bodied trucks were made from poplar lumber. Light weight and strong enough. A lot of the old post n beam barns were done in poplar as well. Great looking woodshed Kyle. Many years of use in that building.
I have 3 wood sheds one I built like a lean to off the side of a shed about 14 feet long 6 feet high 6 feet wide used cedar posts I cut out back bought rough 2 by 4s I got for dollar apiece and cull 10 to 14 inch wide pine boards about 200 dollars in it total still good 15 years later
Those Birch timbers are amazing. Any concerns about the frost ripping them up - it didn't seem like they were put too deep in the ground.
Your such a lovely hardworking lad, you make your building projects look effortless 😊
Great job Kyle you simply amaze us with your hard work & skills.
Three big bays.
I've turned to criss-cross (Lincoln log style) stacking of firewood as it provides much better drying air circulation and really cuts down on the damn nesting critters common to traditional tight parallel stacked firewood piles. Like 3" wolf spiders.
Best for newly split wood especially if it's green.
Takes up to 50% more room though.
Wow. Congrats on a pretty cool build!
Living the Dream Young Kyle and it is so cool to watch & follow you & your Partners Adventures in life. A cat, gorgeous and Skeeter that bouncy 4 legged good mate 4ever. Your Lifestyle is growing in stature and keeping you busy - woodshed looking good, looking forward to the chicken coop. Cheers.
Kyle you are a good worker always doing projects and making your place better.
Very impressive! You're a hard worker. Stupid question...you don't need flooring or walls to keep the wood dry from rain and snow? Just curious, I don't know much about it
What you want is a lot of airflow between your stacks of wood to dry them out. A lot of people put pallets down and stack their wood on that to keep it off the ground. If I were to just start stacking wood the bottom row will just suck up moister from the ground and the bottom row would be worthless which isn’t cool. So I will have to put something down before I start stacking so it’s not in direct contact with the earth. I’m kind of considering taking all the bark peelings from peeling these logs and layering it and stacking on top of that. That would be a temporary solution though because eventually those peelings will rot.
@@KYLESCABIN You could make your own pallets out of logs or something very similar to stack on
Haven't commented in a while, but it's great to see your progress on the homestead!
Don't you need to close off the roof? Sides? Looks great.
Appreciate you too Kyle, you are a hard working young man, and a mathematical genius on figuring just how much the shade would hold.
Can’t wait to see it completed.
As usual, Kyle, a great job! That wood shed looks like it will serve you well for quite some time!
Excellent job with the wood shed! Now comes the task of filling it, but from watching you for the last couple years, you live to chop wood...lol 😂😅 Hoping Sierra is well, love what you're doing ❤️
Lovett doing the same thing at my camp this year I'd like to see your design though because I'm not that much of a carpenter!
Looks great and l think the rubber mat for a roof is a great idea. I used 8x8s l got in the bone yard ( for free) and used an alternative roof.
Great video! i Love watching your videos and your attention to all of the details. your wood shed looks Awesome! :)
Looks great. Fairly simple and all your lumber was already growing there. Nice job!
I got to say one thing bro you sure do a nice job man that looks great but I got to ask you a question what size still chainsaw is that is that like a 170 or what is it can you help me out there brother appreciate you thank you
Your channel is great.
Do me a favor and plant a post not charred so we can compare the 2.😊
Kyle , you are one very talented young man. Very nice. 👍👍😊
Looks very good cannot wait till you show us all the things you will be building. Giving out good ideas. Stay safe, warm, and blessings.
Thanks! Lots of new projects coming up
Great job👍🏻 Looks awesome.. It gave me some ideas for projects I’d like to build around my place
Brilliant work 👍🏻
Great job 👍the old wooden step ladder was put to the test
@KYLESCABIN why not stain the wood with some oil ?
The logs are still wet. In a couple of years when they completely dry out I’ll slap some sealer on them.
Great work going on! I imagine it feels good to get out & going on your projects, after a very long winter. Good for you!
I’ve been looking forward to this one.
For these small job, an electric saw would be wise. Ever since I saw how effective the electric saw works, I’ve become a believer in them getting stuff done with a lot less noise & save a bunch on gas… You should try it out.😊
You are truly living as off grid as possible Kyle and I absolutely admire you for not taking easy options.
That’s a pretty good job you did there it’s really fun to watch you build and the ideas you come up with 😅
Love seeing the kitty hanging with you and Skeeter, Kyle.
Impressive. I would have put some additional diagonal bracing to stabilize the structure back to front.
I love watching these vids. I know absolutely nothing about log construction. What is the advantage of stripping the logs? Do they hold up to weathering better when stripped?
If you leave the bark on it traps moisture which will rot the logs faster. Peeling them allows them to dry out properly. Once they are dry, if you paint them or seal them, they will last for centuries as long as they are taken care of. Many trappers and homesteaders back in the day didn’t peel their logs and that’s totally fine. They will still last decades with the bark on usually.
I thought about not peeling these because after all, it’s just a woodshed. Something to keep the rain and snow off my firewood so it doesn’t need to be fancy. But it does look better with them peeled so I did.
Good looking wood shed Kyles!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice work Kyle!
Being a Virginia boy I am always amazed how you guys can just dig a hole in the upper Midwest. We have nothing but back breaking clay!
Looks great! My back was aching for you peeling the bark on all those!
Right on...thanks for the video, just might do the same thing at my cabin this summer. I rarely ever watch a whole video, but this one I did. I'm also very curious to see how the buried posts hold up.
Awesome project Kyle! Nice job. That will hold a ton of wood. 👍 Love the cat and dog at the wood pile. Better than a tread mill. They will sleep good👍👍 Maybe some “X” cross bracing across back and in middle front to back will stiffen it up!
You sure do not need to go to any gym. You're a beast! Look forward to seeing it full of wood!
Awesome build!
Very impressive and it looks amazing. Appreciate you all sharing the videos!
Great looking wood shed!
Skitter is TERRORIZING chipmunks or squirrels...Poor chipmunks! Your woodshed is looking like it will very very roomy!
That was an awesome build. I really enjoy watching you build stuff, just really good stuff.
A nice addition to your homestead. Keep up the good work.
And just like that a wood shed appears out of nowhere on the property ,,,,, nice
Wow looks amazing. Great job. I remember when I had your energy when I was younger. I love the look of the logs and I’m pretty sure the ends of your posts will last a long time before you need to worry about them. Thanks for sharing Kyle. Oh love Skeeter lol.
Are you concerned about the roof pitch and snow load
I am not
Good point
Buddys gotta collab with @Mav. Heck, they're probably neighbors.
Hi Kyle. Hope all is well with you and family. And Skeeter as well.
You are so awesome Kyle👏‼️
Hey man good stuff for sure! Thanks! Something I started doing is like putting 4or 5 inches of gravel or rocks in the bottom to hopefully drain water away?? A good moto I heard is if it caint dry it will die!! Wa Yea! : )))))
Great work. I know peeling the logs was a lot of work but really makes it look nice.
Great work , Kyle ! Love watching you build ! Good video .
Well never mind I should have waited one more second than you would have explained it's not finished... Great looking building though
Looks great free wood yes lots of fire 🔥 wood indeed . Thanks again bro have a blessed week 🙏. Go leafs go !!
Kyle is a beast! We love watching you build all of your cabins. Started watching when you built the first one by the logging place. Can't wait to see the completed wood shed...
It's so fun to watch you build. You really know what you're doing, as you've done it so many times now.
Why not burn all outside logs.use small torch. Make them last longer. Just saying. Looks great, good work.
Its amazing how you build things and what you visualize the end structure will be like . Its a lot of physical work but its what you do. It will come very useful in the winter. I enjoyed this video and looking forward to the next video. Take care and be safe.(Judy NB)🌲🇨🇦
Nice job. You’re going to love having that shed for years to come. I made one of similar size and used cedar poles because that’s what I was able to scrounge. Nothing wrong with using the aspen on your land. The price is right 👍
I wish I had cedar to use! My grandpa built one out of cedar he milled 70 years ago and it’s still strong. Aspen is what I have so it’s what I use. And you nailed it! The price is right.
Do you have a regular job as well or is homesteading your full time gig? Just wondering if my wife and son and I can do this or if we would need to continue to work. Thank you
Love watching your videos been watching for a while my question is when u Peel the bark off the poles wouldn’t that be good to use as fire starter after it has time to dry I think it would make a perfect starter it’s something you have already done would save some birch bark I’m from northern Iowa so we only have corn n soybean fields not forest keep up the good videos
I’m a feared your chickens will outgrow your cabin..When is that project next? Lol…as if you don’t have enough to build! Your amazing Man Kyle. I love your videos and watching your homestead grow. It’s coming along beautifully….👍♥️
You've got a year's worth of fire starter on the ground.....that's a LOT of work
SALUTI DALL'ITALIA 🏡👏👏👍🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Very nice job Kyle. Looks like it will work just fine. Do you plan to put up any type of walls? I saw a shed where they used live edge slabs of wood they milled. Looked great. Love the videos and Skeeter is the bomb!
Just curious why your roof logs have so much space between them. Won't that let a lot of rain and snow through onto your woodpile? Good job
Well done. Good structure. Fun to watch. Thx for sharing. Your experience is beyond your years. Makes me jealous. I live through your vids. Keep on having fun and living the life. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Excellent video ! Great work Kyle 💪 🇺🇸 top of the pile for King Skeeter😊
Job well done, as usual kyle.
Looks Great .That will hold a lot of wood
Looks good Kyle.!!
Hey Kyle. My wife and I enjoy your videos very much. You are a hard worker. We really appreciate the fact you "use what you have" but make it as nice as possible. To be honest, we have stopped watching 75% of the "off grid/homesteader" channels. They are always showing brand new trucks, tractors, elaborate solar arrangements etc. We can't relate to them, they live like they are wealthy. You don't come off that way at all. My friends in the UP of Michigan around Baraga are getting 12"+ of wet snow today (May 1st) Are you getting any? P.S. we love seeing Scooter play also 😊👍.
You are one workin guy keep it up and get er done.
Awesome build Kyle. Your homestead looks beautiful.
It's great how you build what you have free and available. What progress and capabilities you have created.
You could enter a log peeling contest and win😊
Nice! Good call on peeling the logs!
That Sir, is a work of art. Kudos to you for taking advantage of the natural properties of the wood you find around you rather than going and buying processed lumber.
Man your destroying your property with all the tree cuttings
I found another place you can use rubber roofing the chicken house floor pulls out easily and wash off with the hose 😊
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Perfect timing I’m building a new chicken coop pretty quick here
That's what we do with our chicken coop. Cleaning is easy...
