I left the big city of Toronto to move onto 40-acres of Canadian wilderness with a magical river. I am building an off-grid homestead with multiple cabins and structures from the timber on the land.
To all my subscribers, STRENGTH AND HONOUR! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
JAMES ALOFS
Thanks!
GOOD SIR PAUL, I AM ABSOLUTELY MOVED THAT YOU WOULD DONATE $500 TO THE WILD HOMESTEAD CAUSE, ESPECIALLY AFTER I LOST SO MUCH GEAR IN THE FIRE. THIS WEEK I SHALL LITERALLY REDOUBLE MY EFFORTS! THANK YOU SO MUCH GOOD SIR ALBERTS! MAY THE GODS BLESS YOU. BOTH THE OLD GODS AND THE NEW 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
Retired nurse here...just an old fashioned non invasive remedy to try. Boiling water over Raisins. Cover and let sit over night. Eat them throughout the following day. Gentle relief. Take care, friend.
For children I usually used 1/2 cup and used about 1/4 c for breakfast with something warm to drink. An adult could try one cup. It really doesn't matter, because it can't harm.
Papaya with a cup of hot coffee is good for digestion 1st thing in the morning.
Usually, a low-fiber diet for bowel obstructions precludes all dried fruit (as well as berries and cherries). While raisins do have a mild TNF-alpha inhibiting effect (reducing gut inflammation), they are only really advised for prevention of bowel obstructions rather than cure.
Try 2 tablespoons of olive (or any) oil. QUICK relief!
It could be that all you eat is meat lol
Glad the fire wasn’t worse. 15 years as a FF I can’t tell you how many woods/field fire I went on. You were smart to use the sand. Dirt/sand/rocks don’t burn. We had water packs for places where trucks & our ATV’s couldn’t go but we also had shovels & fire rakes. The BIGGEST difference to stopping fire spread is having a Fireline. (What you did). We would remove all vegetation & dig down to the soil. You should have 100 feet of defensible space. Especially you being so far away from resources. I would definitely say do your research. Trimming trees to a lower height, keeping vegetation away from your cabin. Keeping grass cut low. You have done all of this work to the cabin. It is an investment in your hard work, time, money & future. You definitely want to do your best to protect it & keep it safe. Not only inside but outside as well. Looking good….stay safe & hope you are feeling better.
All those bark shavings and offcuts right next to the cabin really bother me. Would be good to put some time into cleaning up the site from a fire safety point of view.
Stone can burn, according to Wikipedia’s entry for the Chicago fire, or any major city fire for that matter 😂
Firefighter here. Great work with getting the dirt on that fire. Please get an extinguisher and CO alarm. Love the content.
Would he not be best getting multiple fire extinguishers for different possible fires as he uses a lot of electrical and fuel based tools.
@@chapman_7265 abc fire extinguishers cover everything including electrical fires (except class D). They even work on kitchen fires but make a bigger mess than class K extinguishers. best thing to do with electrical fires is turn off the power source first which is easier when you’re off grid like this.
This guy will do ANYTHING for content! James we love your channel enough, you didn't have to burn your tent down to make it even more exciting!! hehe. In all seriousness, glad you are okay.. if you were in the tent when it went up in flames or were sleeping it could've been terrible. Onwards and upwards. Kudos to you for taking it like a champ and remaining your normal kooky-fun self and not letting it get you down. OOOOOGGAAA BBOOOOGGGAA.
AGREE🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉OOOGA BOOOGA❤
You are a rock star for having a video this week at all !!! So many other RUclipsrs are so inconsistent and wonder why their views are garbage. This warrior pushes through folks ...... Sophie will be impressed 😎
Aaaaaand then you miss 2 weeks. Sorry everyone I jinxed it !!!! My bad
No apologies necessary. You were sick and your tent burned down. It's amazing you made a video at all!
as a mother, and a grandmother, and a great-grandmother, this weeks video made me go numb with fear of what could have happened to you James. I thank God that you are ok. your cabin looks beautiful. You're doing all the work and for some reason I feel proud of how far we've come on this project. 😂😂. Thank you for taking us all along with you and for goodness sake have a safe and productive week. Congratulations on moving into your new home.
Dick Proenneke was an unsung genius!
Watching him carve wooden door hinges was amazing
James, you are going to make a fantastic dad. You are a tribute to your upbringing. As we say in the South, your mama done raised you right. You may not have voiced your frustrations on camera but that fire! Super scary. But it brought memories of my father who always had a 55 gallon drum for burning trash. That could’ve been a real disaster. So glad the forestry service and your neighbor, were on patrol. It’s about time you drilled your own well. My brother is an engineer, he may have an invention to help. I won’t speak for him. Hopefully your gut issues resolved itself quickly. Do not apologize, your health and safety is more important than anything.
Good to see you are safe and the fire did not spread. If you are have trouble going to the toilet, Prunes & Apricots are your best friends.
Add some ground flaxseed
Kiwifruit 😊
My vote is a wood floor.
Love me some warm wood.
Cement floors are hard on the back and cold.
Take care of that gut James.
You sure had a crazy week.
I agree. Having stood hours on concrete flooring, I’d take a wood floor any day
Gonna be showing my age ... but , that hat gives me Charles Ingalls vibes . Little House on The Prairie . 📺
I'm a youngster but I grew up on little house on the prairie. I agree with you
damn I grew up with that too but only last year i heard about all the abusive stuff he did.. yikes, still a good memory
I thought the same thing !
Had to move into the cabin sooner than expected! What a legend 🔥
Thankful you and Sophie were not hurt. 🙏🏻
Holy smokin'!!!! Glad you're safe, and the cabin is considered dry. You have a place to sleep...
dude that's crazy! i heard that in alaska, people keep an emergency tent near their cabin in case the cabin burns down. im glad you survived
The hummingbirds are a sign that your grandmother is there watching over you.😊
You remained remarkably calm for someone who just lost their 'home', even if it was only a tent. Congratulations for handling everything that comes your way with such grace. And of course, thankful that Sophie Turner was saved! Haha Really enjoying your channel.
There is definitely some forest management to be done on your land. Thinning out the trees and cutting the lower, dead limbs off the trees. Try to create a fire break around the cabin site also.
Oh man, so sorry! Glad you and the surrounding area are safe.
Retired wild-land firefighter here, EBAY has large CO2 extinguishers for $260, you might want to look at something like these.Big jugs of water arent good for computers etc the CO2 will put out the fire without doing too much damage. If you want the best get a HALOX or simlilar system, I install these in computer rooms so the electronics will not get destroyed. I also have pressurized water (the big silver ones) on hand at my cabin.When I had my cabin roof put on the installer (licenced contractor) didn't put steel mesh under the ridge cap and I had to deal with many bats. Of course he told me it was my problem.
He was right 😂😂😂... Bloody contactors... I've had a gut full of em. 😅
Glad u r safe after the fire. As you said, you learned your lesson. Keep a fire extinguisher from now on. Take care.
Haven't watched the whole video yet but felt the need to comment. I feel your pain when screwing the screws to the roof, i giggled to myself but also felt your frustration. Keep going man, what you are doing by yourself is magnificent :)
really good to see you screw on the ridges and not the valleys like a lot of people do oh and on the warm side of things now you can spend a night in the cabin
I have to admit, I probably watch too much RUclips, but out of all the youtubers I follow, your channel has been the most enjoyable consistently. So, OOGA BOOGA from Montreal! I hope Thor helps you and prevents any more fires!
Hell of a job !!, I think it’s Thors way of telling you time to move in, your lucky this didn’t happen a couple of months ago, then you might have been in trouble, no doubt you would have coped though, your a survivor, great job, fingers crossed your stomach is ok again soon
That metal contraption...
"...A post holer. You dig holes. For posts"
So you took your first M.A.N. in your cabin. I am so proud of you!
Glad you’re not hurt. Everything else is detail.
OOOGGAAAA BOOOGA, SENDING STRENGTH AND HONOUR TO YOU FROM AUSTRALIA.
I’ll drink to that!

Hey James, So sorry for the lost of your tent and your belongings. Awesome job putting it out and, holy smokes, what an awesome attitude. I also wanted to say for a guy that started this journey with very little woodworking experience, you are are doing a great job. Also, I enjoy watching you learn as you go. Many of us on the other end of RUclips land learned the same way, and some are now master craftsmen. In reference to the venting you were talking about, many refer to them as soffit vents, soffits being the boards that close in the rafters. On cabins I have built I measure the spacing between the rafters and put a vent in the soffit every sixteen inches. HomeDepot carries two inch round vents that have screens in them and they work like a plug. Drill a hole and pop them in and you are done. Once you put your soffit on you are going to want to put an aluminum fascia over your fascia board. It has a 1 inch 90 degree bend on it that overlaps the front edge of your soffit and it gives it a nice finished look that will last for a long time. The tricky part on soffits are the ends where it gets boxed on the gable ends of the eves. Do some research on "How to build soffit bird boxes" and that should give you an idea on what you are up against. Enjoy the journey my friend.
Dude. Your home burned down. Seriously, it's OK! You did an amazing job of getting everything that would go boom out, and yourself. If anything, it removes that comfort and pushes you to get more done. Plus, having stomach issues is no joke. You did everything right. Bravo! *grunt* of approval!
Best off grid building vlog I’ve ever seen. Will be following in your next builds! You were made for this 😊
I’m extremely glad you’re safe and the fire didn’t spread! You have overcome so many challenges to date I’m sure, without doubt, you will overcome this one! Stay safe and strong!
I think i speak for everyone when I say - we are so glad you made it out of that tent! Incredible episode, best wishes to you in all your future endeavors. I hope you feel better as well!
Got any extra sheets of roofing. Use it to make a wood shed on the back of the cabin. Would add some efficient detail.
Bro had priorities and boots weren’t one of ‘em 😂😂 glad you saved Sophie.
GOOD SIR K, IF I DIDN'T SAVE SOPHIE'S FRAMED PIC SANSA STARK WOULD NOT BE HAPPY!
@@wildhomestead 😂😂🫡 good sir J, you are absolutely right!
so the tent was fine with fire all winter, but as soon as the cabin is roofed, your tent burns down....impeccable timing.
Excellent work in the face of adversity, great job, great entertainment, appreciate you sharing your journey. Thank you
8pm on dot in Australia
6pm if you’re in WA 🎉
Dude, your drone shots are one of the best parts of your cinematography!
Hey... You had a disaster come down your freeway so no apologies necessary.
Good things that happened?
You survived.
Sophie survived.
Most of your gear survived.
AND your cabin is watertight. Maybe not wind proof but watertight is VERY good.
And of course you are now officially living in your cabin.
I'm glad you're OK, bloody close call keep fighting bro, rock on!
I have to laugh when I saw that I wasn’t the only one who had some unwanted excitement this morning. Woke up to the feeling of someone tapping my foot and my cat on my bed. I just stalked around my home with a heavy object to make sure there was no intruders. Thank god there wasn’t. Watching this to stop my heart from trying to pound out of my chest. Door is locked now.
Glad you’re okay. Feels like Loki was having some fun that morning.
Roof looks good. Sorry about the fire. Glad that you didn’t let it get you down.
w's in the chat for the first nap in the cabinsky! Glad you bounced back fast, you got this.
Use double wall chimney pipes. Mine go directly from the stove all the way up. Can be a life saver. You had a bunch of creosol buildup on the tent. Very flammable. But weather is warm, roof is on, nobody hurt. So it's just a great story now.
Heck of a week for you man! Way to persevere!
WHY THANK YOU GOOD SIR REIMER. MAY THE GODS BLESS YOU THIS WEEK. BOTH THE OLD GODS AND THE NEW 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
Glad you are all OK James! Quick thinking regarding damping down the fire, afore it spreads. Hope you are feeling better soon, despite losing the tent, it must be quite satisfying and cool to be finally sleeping in your loft! Keep up the great work.
OOOOGGAA BOOGA SENDING STRENGTH AND RICHNESS FROM TASMANIA
I follow Taj Farrent (the next greatest guitar player in the world)who hails outta Taz.❤
James!!! How scary!! My dad had property with a homestead that burnt to the ground due to the ignorance of some kids doing fireworks. I’m so glad you’re safe and feeling better.
You’re a legend for still getting a video out while feeling so off. Cabin is mint!
You could power a pump and take water from the creek. Store it in an old IBC or barrels, use for fire only or cleaning. Definitely worth having barrels plotted about the place. Glad your not hurt.
Ayyyyyy bloody hell i didnt expect this! Hope everything's ok after the fire mate
Oh NO!! So glad you got out safe. Things can be replaced but you can't! So very sorry that you lost so much and
are having to replace things but you are safe. Prayers that you will get your loft fixed up soon and that you can live in it until your cabin is finished. Love your videos and look forward to them every Saturday.
Oooga Booooga, glad your safe.
Get yourself another Aussie hat Mate, look up Akubras 👍🏻 🇭🇲
For your drip edge, give it a slight bend out away from the fascia to separate the materials and prevent the water from wicking back and running down the fascia.
Ready for the Saturday rutine, WILD HOMESTEAD LETS GO!
Oh damm, really sorry about your tent, but most importantly glad your safe 😮
Hello James. I have watched all your videos since the first day. I'm glad you're okay after the fire you had in your tent. I live in hell in Miami, Florida and believe me, I would give anything to be in a place as healthy and beautiful as the one you live in. All the best.
Float a raft of eps foam board on gravel and pour concrete over it. It will be insulated concrete. Use plastic sheeting over foam board to prevent it from floating up and tightens the vapor barrier.
Hope you are feeling better. Really enjoy your vlog. Thanks.
I remember you saying you speak fluent Chinese. You should upload a version of your videos where you do voiceover in Chinese seems like you could corner the market on Chinese language homesteading
Since I began your video in Nov 2023 I have greatly enjoy each one and I have kept you in prayer too.🙌
I am so happy you were not hurt. Praying that God’s angels protect you!!
No episode 23😢
Saturday was not the same without my wild homestead fix. 😢😥
Where is next video ? I hope he's okay
Wild Homestead just got Wilder. Glad that you're okay after what must have been a pretty rough event.
Wow, that roof looks good mate. Glad you are safe, shame about the shotgun!! The fire was the catalyst you needed to move into the cabin, fate shuffles you along; Thor is an impatient god!! It's really coming along, well done.
You did learn a lot this week, Fire Safety really should be discussed further for New Off Grid Builders watching and learning from you. But well done, always looking forward to the new instalment!! Oh, Glad Sophie is safe, bit of a war wound in the corner of the frame but it will give you both something to tell your Wolfhound.
Helicopter came to investigate 'the smoke ' glad you're okay, oh and the constipation try drink a glass of water and add tablespoon of salt early in the morning
I would certainly get some sort of hand pump and hose water from the creek. Glad it didn't get too out of hand. Stay safe man.
Great job on the cabin and the insane winter build..great job on filming all of this...Thanks for the entertainment..and hopefully no more fires..new subscriber..Jim from Florida USA.
THANK YOU KINDLY GOOD SIR JIM IN THE GREAT STATE OF FLORIDA! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲 STRENGTH AND HONOUR
James, I think I said back at the beginning to clear all of the wood chips and bark and scraps away from the site. After the fire, I really hope you prioritize some time to get that ground cleared up. It’s a fuel depot for the next fire! Hoping you feel better!
So glad everything worked out and that you are safe... I would have been so bummed if it wasn't because I love watching you!!
Pre-drill the holes down on saw horses for faster screwing, no lost screws. You can drill all panels at same time.
Hi sir! Fire has got to be nature's most destructive thing ever. Don't think you could be prepared too much for fires. Glad you weren't stuck in the tent or got hurt and didn't lose more than you have. Hope you are feeling better. Poop definitely needs to happen. Sour kraut might help you move.
Thank God you are safe. Your progress never ceases to amaze us. Keep content coming. We love you. ❤
All's well in the world, you survived the fire and you saved what you could, at least it wasn't the cabin, just move forward and onwards from it
Motivation! Stay with it! You are doing great to keep going regardless of setbacks and health issues. Odin - Thor and all the gods are walking with you!
Just found you and wanted to mention the wife and I visit the Ontario area fairly often (we live in upstate NY but she's originally from Ottawa and has a lot of family all over Ontario.) We built our own home on a 30 acre forested area and live totally off-grid. We follow a lot of the off-grid homesteading channels and just subscribed to yours as well. Getting ready to go back and take a tour of all of your previous vids.
GOOD SIR WOMACK YOUR TASTE IN WOMEN IS FINE 🇨🇦 WELCOME TO THE CHANNEL AND WILL YOU SHARE YOUR OFFGRID ADVENTURES ONE DAY AS WELL? MAY THE GODS BLESS YOU. BOTH THE OLD GODS AND THE NEW 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
@@wildhomestead We started a channel back in 2022 when we moved to New York ruclips.net/channel/UCf7Z-F71hJgqV7JCQX-1AVA but just haven't had the time to make many vids since it's just the two of us building it all ourselves. We'll try to post some of what we do have soon.
So happy to have come across this series the time I did. I had 22 episodes to just binge over the past couple of days. Glad you're okay. I don't know if your area gets a lot of rain, here in Washington by the coast we get so much rain. Do you guys have to consider a drainage system like a french drain or a pump at the bottom of your cabin? Look forward to more content man! Hope you're feeling well!
glad you safe and were to recover! onwards!!!
Glad you’re safe and hope the health improves quickly!
Regarding sponsored content, I appreciate that you held out for a product you will actually use. It’s great that you can recommend something you believe in while getting something in return. When looking for a product, I may actually look to what you have had positive experiences with. I hate when other channels shill some health supplement or video game I won’t ever consider and just skip over that part of the video. I understand they financially benefit which keeps the videos coming, but it’s appreciated when they have a bit of extra integrity with who they partner with.
Commenting for traction.😊 Glad you’re OK and amazed you still squeeze out great content considering the circumstances.
It was time from the gods to move into the cabin . You did great don't stress can't wait for next week .much love brother
Great episode! Good job handling the fire! glad you learned your lesson. love the shots of you dropping nails and screws, brings a smile to my face because i know i do the same thing lol. Strength and Honor!
It's looking so fabulous.
Having a cabin so close looks really handy to right now. A minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things. Fire extinguishers all the way.
Thank god you’re safe and pls always have fire extinguishers
When you find your love 💘 you can call your home the love shack just like the song. 😄
Sorry about the fire.You will be okay.Keep working hard .
The cabin is looking good! Stay safe!
That waterfall would make a great hydrowater power station
you can buy wider ridgecap...i had to do that for my barn because the rain would still come through...wider ridgecap solved the problem...no more roof leak...
sorry to see the tent get smoked a minor set back james your getting there and it looks great .If any person who does a job like this and expects everythink to go perfect .your always going to have minor setbacks but the best bit is when you look at the finished job and realise all the hard work you,ve put in and how fantastic it looks you cant buy that .
Wow! Well done, keeping a calm head in a serious emergency and showing your emotional resilience with dealing with the aftermath compounded by constipation. It would have been so easy to wallow in selfpity, say WTF and pack up. You kept your head in the game and continued to move forward, you showed true character and that you are serious about your project. Thanks for another excellent episode.
Hope you recover from the Constipation fast, may it go well from here on.
Oh Man, that's a wicked week....hang in there
😳so glad you didn’t get hurt, everything else is replaceable. What a relief. Stay safe and get some fire 🔥 extinguishers. The helicopter 🚁 might be because someone reported seeing smoke 😳
Ohhhh Nooooo 🔥Ohhhh Nooooo 🤢
Ohhhh Yesssss on the roof! Please take care of yourself, feel better, and we’ll see you next Saturday!
