First OVERNIGHT at the CABIN! | THIS MAN Only Eats Wild Food! Ep5

We spend a wintry first night at the off grid small cabin in the woods with a special guest who only eats wild food! We are now working on the outhouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j1N5TOmBLI

I am joined by Jeremy (One Wildcrafter) who is only eating wild food for a whole year!

We spend the weekend mostly catching up on lost time, but we also set traps for cotton tail and try for some off-game like crow. We go off and check my coyote live-trap and eat plenty of wild food including goose, hare, squirrel, raccoon, maple syrup, maple candy, yarrow spices, bear fat and snack on black walnuts.

We will talk about what it’s really like to live off wild food and if Jeremy is able to keep healthy, fit and strong over the course of the year. We talk about what challenges he has faced during his “big wild year.”

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.
