The Log Cabin Build continues. We use Recycled Pallet Wood to build a wood roof at the back of the off grid cabin in the wilderness. Being able to use recycled materials to make simple and cheap diy projects is a useful skill to have and it helps to save money. So far the Log Cabin itself was free to build. It is heated with the woodstove, which is great for the cold winter months where temperatures drop below freezing. Although the Cabin looks might look like a shack on the outside, we've turned this primitive hut into a cosy tiny house on in the inside. With a rustic wood chair, folding table, raised bed as well as a woodstove and a book case. It also has candles, lanterns and other items that make it a one-man rustic cabin. The day started out with me alone in the woods. I got the woodstove going and made a cup of fresh coffee to start the day. Dad then joined me and together we began building work on the wilderness homestead. We opened some more subscriber gifts and answered some of the questions that you guys have been asking us in previous pallet wood cabin episodes. I hope to spend more time at the cabin to practice primitive technology, wilderness and survival skills and learn more about living off the land and foraging for wild food. The Woodstove we use is the Gstove Heat View.

I can't believe it but I've just spent the whole of Saturday evening watching you and your dad turn your idea of a one-man cabin into reality Altogether it was a lovely constructive way to spend time with your dad, who I think is a lovely man. I remembered, as a child, having to help my father extend our tiny kitchen and we had to recycle the bent nails, corrugated iron panels and wooden beams, just like how your dad did I have always enjoyed bushcraft and survival programmes but your videos have taken it to a different direction. And that stove is a work of art But best of all is the antique coffee grinder. What a lovely present from your mum Thank you so much for posting your hard work.

Hey you asked about what to eat with squid. well the best way is to egg and flour the tentacles and the rings and fry them add lemon when done and its amazing. also a great way is to eat it cooked then served cold with lemon green onion, celery, onion parsley salt pepper garlic olive oil. like a salad. add some shrimp and its a fabulous seafood salad. my absolute favorite. Sometimes when you get them big you can bread it and eat it like a steak. without cutting it into rings. But most imp is dont overcook. It really just should turn from that greyish to white and its done, anymore than a few min and it gets rubberry. love the videos keepem comin Happy squid eating

Hello mike, I have watched all of your videos on the pallet wood project, you and your dad are amazing and to see you guys putting so much effort into a project just so you can spend time together is awesome and I hope people see this and do the same. Just an idea for the cabin. Using a CD player or DVD player motor and small propellers made from pvc pip combined with a couple of rechargeable batteries and a few leds with a switch you could have a free light in the cabin so you dont always have to worry about candles or lights etc. Just an idea I have made loads and there perfect many thanks antony

love the series, not seen all yet but will. was going to ask about toilet but as you said you are going to do it soon. scumble is a sort of chalky paste that is brushed on to plain or matt white doors etc and it makes a wood grain effect and for the creative type you put knots in it as you would see in real wood. you can't go over it again as it rips the work you've done. when completed use clear varnish carefully to seal it. got to build a shed soon so i got some inspiration from your series. love that g-stove, want one. thanks for the entertainment.

So, I've just come across this series a couple of days ago and just now I've noticed that you drink coffee we in Serbia call a weakling. Maybe you should try some Turkish gezve type of coffee, where you don't filter up the coffee at all, just pour it in the gezve when the water is at boil and leave it on the fire to raise it to the top of the gezve, you remove it from the fire and pour all of it into a cup with all that foam, try it, much better. P. S. The dosage should be around a spoon of grinded beans per cup

I love what you guys are doing especially it being father and son just spending some time outdoors doing a cool fun project. Plus I am sure when your at home there is some good quality time messing with things to bring to the cabin. Good for you both as well caring that a whole family can enjoy this series and your others because so few things are made with families in mind that aren't a cartoon or some cheese scripted show.

Thank you, Mike and Graeme, for another great video in the Off Grid Log Cabin Build series. The cabin is looking very homely and comfortable AND practical. The outside sink area is brilliant Your ingenuity is inspiring P. S. Mike, as much as we have all come to luv you over the past few years, your Dad is a show-stealer. :) Thank you both for all your hard work in bringing this no-cost log cabin build series to life.

Love watching you guys with this project I don't know if you've done it yet but you should take 1x2 wood and put it around the inside of your door frame 1/2 reveal it will seal the door from wind: ) I'm a union carpenter in the USA and we have to build quick shakes for other crafts and that's something we do to seal the doors hope it helps and continue this awesome project

Greetings from Indiana I love your playlist here I've watched the whole thing in one sitting I wondered if you had considered painting the inside portion of your window flap white. It would probably give you more light with the candles underneath it. And maybe a piece of wood to hold it down against the wall like you have on the ceiling. I can't wait to watch more
reply

The window cover is a great idea, though I'm still slightly worried about the window getting hit by something in a storm, which is why I thought a shutter would be a good idea. Just something you can fold out of the way most of the time, but if it's really blowing then close it, protects the window since it's not exactly thick glass.
