Cabin in the Woods Build! | Milling LOGS into LUMBER, Floor, Walls in the WILDERNESS Ep2

In this off grid cabin build we will fire up the Norwood Portable Sawmill and turn waste dead standing trees into lumber to begin framing the floor and walls of our all-Canadian cabin. We are now working on the outhouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j1N5TOmBLI

Whenever we run out of lumber, we just mill more wood from trees that are right on the property. We’ll use handtools like hammers, axes, saw, shovels and prybars, but will also use power tools including chainsaws, winches, atv’s, and a chopped up SUV whenever it is convenient.

We will be using cedar and spruce trees that are standing dead so we don’t have to kiln dry the wood or let it season.

Please follow along with the full playlist in order to understand the full construction of the tiny cabin.

In this series we use materials around us to construct a small forest cabin.

We’ll use cedar, pine, ash, maple, and whatever else we can scrounge up from the 30 acres around us. The aim is to avoid using as much store bought material as possible and keep the budget reasonably low.

Originally we set a budget of $1000, but that included the use of a frame from an old camper trailer. As we build, the budget will remain flexible in effort to produce a cabin that we are proud of and one that will last a long while, be comfortable, and sleep real human beings.
