Hi,
This channel is a little view into some of the projects that we've worked on over the last few years. We've just finished building an off grid cabin, and are doing a series of videos on getting it outfitted and some of the fun projects on and around it. As the cabin wraps up we will be also doing some videos on exploring the surrounding area. with a few surprises thrown in along the way! We're just starting to get comfortable being on camera. and working on our editing skills. So please bear with us
hope you enjoy!

Impressive. Could it have been stick framed?; Build 4 sides, lift in place, then fill in the studs.
Not really in this case. This was years ago. But there was a 30’ drop right below that wall. And at the bottom it was all jagged boulders
I love how it’s a video showing a cannon that shoots a like 5 pound chunk of steel and probably could put a hole through a house and it’s playing like the most calm DIY music ever
What state is your cabin in? Looks like a really good spot. Appreciate you posting. Thanks for the video.
Hey. I’m actually in Ontario, Canada
That looks like decomposing granite…I have a lot of it on my property and run into the same issues. Gonna try this out and see how it goes with a scaled up version with packing.
What a beautiful place!! Sometimes home changes so much even when you don’t leave it’s hard to recognize!! I live in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains and the world is closing in on us too beautiful fields covered with solar panels, all our lakes covered with million dollar homes don’t seem as nice as it once was!!!
Stunning video, thanks.
gaaaa, beautiful
Thank you
Very cool story. Thank you for sharing it. Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Sorry, passing this on to.
This was beautifully done. For a "Modern Hillbilly" you went deep. Great job! I have a few people I am paying this on to. Thank you!
Thank you! Haha. We all have our deep moments. This one was a bit of a personal passion project.
What to mark for the percussion cartridges?
Similar landscape where I live along the Gatineau river
Great video, Rack looks good , bungie the paddles in the canoe to avoid them getting broken.
Why didn't y'all go fishing
Bass season doesn’t open until late June. But we will be going back to give it a try in a few weeks.
Nice canoe rack. Built one about 25 yrs ago for use up in Wawa Ontario, works great! Like the angle in the front of yours better than mine.
Thanks. They sure are handy.
The canoe looks great
Just got one for our cottage
A handy machine for sure
I agree with Kylie with the larger stones on top. My second choice would be railroad ties for longevity. It would probably be about impossible to drive rebar through ties and into the wall but more then likely it wouldnt be needed. The ties are pretty heavy. My live trap is also being held hostage by a band of robins hanging in the shack. Thanks for sharing and we'll see you down the road....
Here you go this stuff here made it to keep a black flies mosquitoes and ticks away from you try this stuff out is really good I use it all the time for hunting
Every year we have a nest in our canoe as well. Kind of cool actually.
Awesome build, NC USA 🇺🇸
Thanks! The cabin is always a work in progress
Lots of back breaking hard work right there! It would have taken you both all week to recover from that. But it looks really great. Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Thanks! Yeah was hard on the back for sure.
Looking amazing what a great project well done to you both ❤❤❤ xxx
Have you had issues with your temperature knobs getting too hot to touch and then locking up? Far left knob gets really hot. Middle knob not as bad. Far right knob gets warm but doesn’t lock up.
Nope not at all. That doesn’t sound safe. Do your flames look normal underneath when it’s running?
Dang buddy $500 & change and you didnt like them. That stinks and hate when stuff like that happens. If you were close, i would have given you this chainlink fence i have that i have been hanging onto and can't bring myself to get rid of. Im sure we could have fabed up something to work. It will all work out in the end. Always enjoy your videos. Glad we don't have them black flies here!
Yeah I was a little let down. Probably my own fault for not doing enough research. I’ve heard of guys using chain link fence. Despite my disappointment the cages were made of good quality galvanized wire and then plastic coated. So should last longer than me. Thankfully the black flies only last about two weeks before they die off. Then the mosquitoes take over Thanks for watching!
I welded up some 4x4 steel grate to make mine, It was also a pain.
Yeah I don’t think there’s any easy way to do it.
This little video made me build my own canon.
Nice! Did you use good heavy wall tubing? The wall thickness on mine was around 5/8”
i like that u have a finger shield
Yeah I’d never attempt it without one. Serves two purposes. First. Stops the whole thing from being blown back through your hand and through your head. Second. Even with the fairly tight “bushing” through the blasting mats. There is still a surprising amount of debris that blows up around the rod.
Don’t usually comment but I enjoyed your video. Keep it up man :)
Thank you! Trying to gain traction on UA-cam can be a very frustrating thing. Your comment is definitely a moral booster!
Until the slightest breeze blows out the flames from underneath. Ugh.
There must be something wrong with yours. I’ve used mine many times in high wind. Never had it go out.
@@Modernhillbilly nah. Way to many posts over the years on Reddit of issues of wind blowing out flames from below… for this to be just me.
Weird I’ve had no issues. I have no affiliation with camp chef at all. I must have just got a good one.
We haven't had any spiders yet at our camp but the black ants moved in. I'll have to spray next weekend. Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I don't like spiders or snakes... and ants are the worst.
I've had piles of sawdust like that from ants and from hornets.
wrong mask
Awe they want out of the weather to
Spiders do not bother me, its the ants, silver fish, termites etc, in fact Spides keep a lot of them away, but yes spray for the other crawly things.
Nothing worse than spiders in the house.
No there isn’t
"Full combat mode" 😂
I hate wolf spiders!! We have them here in northern Maine. They get as big as a saucer plate!!
I agree! And they always seem to come out of no where, when you least expect it.
@@Modernhillbilly out houses are very common and also dark cool places like under the floor.
My parents live along the river and they have them in their house.
Why didn’t you just take the water bottles home with you and refill them from your tap every time you were going back to the cabin instead of buying new ones?
It’s not recommend to reuse single use water bottles due to chemical leaching and bacteria growth. Just wasn’t worth the risk for us. They were only ever a temporary measure for us. A holdover until we found something we liked that could hold more volume.
God bless yall
Can you help me with sharpening my chainsaw
If it’s one of these battery powered saws it’s best to just replace the chain.
Great job on that old tune, I use to sing that with my Mother that played & wrote for many many years, She was Kitty wells of the north :)
Great job ! the cabin looks awesome , Shelf & antlers are cool :) Always nice just being out cutting a little firewood :) Love my time in the bush the smell of fresh cut wood & 2cycle smoke !
Donde pues comprarlo desde México porfavor
Thats living right there.
Nothing better than being at the campsite or cabin with my chocolate lab. Best buddy ever. Love the vids you two. You can sing around my campfire anytime. 👍
There isn't anything better than going to your camp, cabin or property away from everyone. My wife and I have a 1994 38' Jayco camper on our property. I just put a small wood stove in it this winter. We just love to go out there. Cutting firewood, having campfires exploring the woods and riding our Polaris General is fun and relaxing. Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan.🍺
Gonna use the same method with I wall I have to lift myself. Will bring a big bag of hopes and dreams.
Hey ! wow what a beautiful property ! and hat cabin is amazing. love all the pine. Also those stairs are amazing ! the railing is such a cool addition to it, all one piece. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks. Building those stairs was a fun project. I wish I had of videoed it.
