A Year in the Wilderness | Off Grid and Self Reliant in a Log Cabin


Another full year in the wilderness living my dream. There is no place I would rather be than in the wilderness, self reliant, thriving in an off grid log cabin and living close to nature. Spring arrived today, and in my mind, its the beginning of a new year and I reflect on the last 365 days spent building my homestead and creating a safe place for my family and me for times like this. The next 365 days will bring big changes for me and my family as we continue to learn how to and practice becoming more self reliant and put the lessons I have learned over the last three years to use. This year, food security and health are our focus, along with a few building projects that Ill be undertaking alone to make our homestead more self sufficient.
Stay healthy and be kind.

To watch me build my next cabin — bigger and better than this one!..
To relax…
To virtually immerse yourself in nature…
To see how I live debt free, stress free and low cost…
To see how I build things alone…
To see how I cook with no electricity or gas…
To hear what steps I took to retire in my mid-forties so I could live my dream life…
To interact with the happiest and most helpful community of viewers on YouTube…
To become more self-reliant.
Finally, one video showing the entire build process from the cutting of the first tree to the laying of the last floor board — no food, no talking, no visitors, just carpentry, bushcraft, timber framing, blood, sweat and tears.
My end goal is to have an off grid, primitive wilderness homestead, where I can practice primitive technology, bushcraft and traditional skills in an effort to become as completely self reliant as possible in this day and age.
In late April, I cut the first balsam fir tree down on the property near Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. Next, from June until August, I collected all of the building materials and fabricated the cabin using saddle notches in the corners. I cleared the land in August, laid down gravel for a pad and began erecting the off grid log cabin. By September, the walls were done and I started on the roof framing in October.
In November, I burned the roof boards with shou sugi ban, an ancient Japanese technique for preserving wood. Against convention, I installed the roof in board and batten fashion, using my roofing background to come up with techniques to keep the cabin watertight.
Next, I moved inside where I installed a Vermont Castings wood stove on top of a limestone flagstone floor, which extended from the doorway to the center of the cabin underneath the fireplace.
For the rest of the floor, I framed it using 2x4 and 2x6 red pine boards and then installed 2x6x10 boards, which I burned using the same shou sugi ban technique.
Now in December, I chinked the walls with moss and clay and have been spending a lot of time in the cabin, starting rustic furniture made with materials from the surrounding forest.

СМЕШНАЯ ЛЕГКАЯ КОМЕДИЯ! "Дед Мороз всегда звонит трижды!" РОССИЙСКИЕ КОМЕДИИ, МЕЛОДРАМЫ, НОВИНКИ


Сюжет фильма разворачивается в самой обычной московской квартире накануне Нового Года. Как и в любой семье в преддверии праздника в доме главных героев царит суматоха. Писатель Костя, не изменяя стереотипам, ругается с тёщей из-за каждой ерунды. Его сын Антон достал уже всех домочадцев вопросами о Деде Морозе. Супруга Кости Ирина в перерывах между кухонными приготовлениями, украшением ёлки и накрыванием на стол безуспешно пытается примирить родственников. Одна нелепая ситуация меняет приоритеты семьи, когда Антон оказывается запертым в собственной ванной комнате. Самоустранившись с поля боя, глава семейства, наконец, может спокойно поразмыслить, что же делать дальше.

Российская новогодняя комедия была выпущена в прокат Константином Статским, режиссёром, прославившимся своей работой над такими сериалами как Мажор, Агент особого назначения, Как я стал русским. Фильм был поставлен по его личному сценарию.
