Would you? Have you lived in one, built one, or simply stayed overnight? Explain yourself.
Also, what happened to appalacian diy cabin anon? Why did he get 404?
>>2860076he spams his cuckshed in unrelated threads then thinks yelling at the jannies will change their minds.
>>2860077his thread dedicated to it was also deletedi hope he posts again, i had all his threads open for weeks
>>2860079Don't bother. He took no precautions in the foundation. It has no floor, and it will crumble in a year to a couple years time, weather depending.
>>2860075>simply stayed overnightmany times.
OP here. Like a moron, I created a thread and forgot to contribute. I hike a lot and tend to favour woodlands and forrests over any other biome. As for cabins, I've never built one but have stayed in many overnight, in several different countries, my favourite being a cabin in Austria where I stayed overnight whilst I was on a hiking trip. It was a basic cabin with a bunj bed and a small fireplace. It was close to a fresh water spring which was useful. It was freezing outside, around 14 degrees F but inside it was cozy as fuck. I hope to build my own cabin one day. I have a patch if land in Ohio but I haven't developed it yet.
>>2860106And there were 2 major snowstorms that hit him in the last 2 1/2 weeks.Hes either dead in his car on the side of a mountain or at his parents house.
>>2860075Back when my family owned 50 acres we'd stay in a small cabin with 2 sets of bunk bedsno running water, electricity was from a generator and the restroom was an outhouse.It was fun until the last day because we would all just sit around and i wanted pancakes. So i'd get pissed off we were just sitting around when i could be eatings bacon, eggs and pancakeswe ended up selling the 50 acres because the land was between two counties so property tax sky rocketed.It was literally in the middle of nowhere and i was next in line for inheritence. Owned 3 hills/mountains at one point
>>2860289i also fell down this hill once
>>2860076>>2860079>>2860106>>2860262im totally here and well. the /out/ janny is hates me because he ain't me. i installed a window and made a door out of rough sawn cedar from the cedar mill which was $10 for a big ass bundle. great cabin building resources imo
>>2860370backside
Here's my 12x20 in Maine. It's literally just 4 walls and a roof rn, with a loft where I sleep.Anyone know the do's and dont's for installing a woodstove?
>>2860373>woodstovejust use single wall pipe if you dont have an attic. several options to go through the roof. just use tin if you are worried about protecting the walls. picrel is mine. i did the rock and the tin. (i actually built my whole house alone)
I want to, but I am a suburbanite with literally no hands on skills. I can barely tie my own shoe laces or set up a tent so how I'm expected to build a cabin or a mobile cabin is beyond me.
>>2860371Pretty good, thanks for the update. Nice kot btw
>>2860376im gonna weld some bad ass burglar bars out of rebar acraps next
>>2860375mobile homes are considered trashy because of trailer parks, but functionally it work like a cabin, you just need a plot of land and sanitationthey might not be planned for wood stove/heating tho, but beside that most of the job it already donealso you can't learn without trying
>>2860380Yeah but I don't like that. I'm too picky with customisability. I like the idea of a single roomed space with bedding, desks, cooking equipment, storage and a possible shower in a corner.
>>2860381>I'm too pickyyou just said you can barely tie your shoe laces, you can't afford to be picky, also there's probably a model somewhere like that or a company willing to make one on demandbut anyway, unless you plan to live the solo hermit life why would you have a shower not separated from your living place by at least a thin wall that prevent showing your willy to everyone?
>>2860370oo it's this guy>>2860373lol you maniac with those windows and awning
>>2860371That cabin has come a long way. Why don't you ever mention your cat?
>>2860370>>2860371post what it looks like from the inside i know its small and cramped but im curious
>>2860370>that roofYou're killing met. ex carpenter/framer
>>2860438Same as the outside.Literally.
>>2860438
>>2860564Based. I can imagine a small stove there, making a good tea, read a book and then crawl into a sleeping bag. I love comfy cabins like that
Jannie can you just get it over with and shred this guys worthless bait pictures of his pile of sticks.
>>2860575honestly for a dumb newbie this isn't too badjust need a bit of insulation, plywood sheets and screw to hold it on the walls and fill gapssomething to prevent the roof from being pulled away by winddunno what he could do to secure the shitty foundation tho, maybe secure it with lime?
>>2860575When's the last time you got off your ass and did something cool
>>2860579>honestly for a dumb newbieanon, if you are under the age of 26, i was literally framing houses since before you were born. get over the foundation, you have zero clue what you are talking about.
>>2860584forgot pic, door is hung
>>2860584>appeal to authority fallacychoke on a dick you pretentious faggot, i was just saying anon could have done a lot worse for his first shit shack
>>2860584>i was framing houses>house framingwhich is not considered proper construction on most places outside the US for anything that isn't some single room cheap cabin meant to be used only in summeri mean come onanon's making a makeshift shack here, no need to act hight and mighty
probably larping like most of /out/, probably not that old, probably never framed houses too
>>2860564thanks anon, comfy and looks bigger than it does on the outside
>>2860564Good luck chinking that top gap.
>>2860075>Stayed overnight?I have! multiple times. It's very common here where i live (scandinavia). No internet, maybe a good book or some cards if you are with someone else. Would recomendI would 100% live in one. Hopefully i'll be able to buy some land and build one
>>2860075I have tent-camped and wild-camped for most of my life. I only used cabins a few times, mostly on group hikes. Once, I found an abandoned cabin in Siberia, and stayed there for the night. It was falling apart but it provided shelter for the night. I've also stayed in a few Bothies overnight when I hiked in Scotland and Wales. Many years ago I met my wife and we started using cabins on our trips, mostly inna woods. It was a big step up and I really enjoy how easy it is. I still enjoy using tents but I have gotten use to being comfy inna cabin.
>>2860585He finally finished the whack shack. How long before teen girls start going missing in his area?
>>2860585>>2860564Tar paper or house wrap the outer walls then cover them with the saw mill scraps just like you made the door. You could do the same with the interior, you would have two air barriers for insulation and it would vastly increase the strength. I've done entire cabins like that.
>>2860764That is the most ghetto ass “solar system” I have ever seen. Please post your battery bank and meter so I can laugh.
>>2860766Those little panels are all for independent lights, the big one swivels and the ones on the side are for a specific purpose. In the winter those 2 100 watt panels put out more than the two on the swivel mount even when it is aligned perfectly since light reflects off the snow.May i see your solar system and off grid cabin? Oh wait, you have neither.
>>2860764>>2860775>>286076630 watt controller and 4 boat batteries, all it powers is a laptop and satellite dish. During the day it sometimes runs a van heater.
>>2860755Thanks anon. Once I got the walls to a sufficient height I started jacking off in it. Just tall enough so that people couldn’t see me before I heard them coming. It’s much comfier now that it has a roof and door. All those years of my mom complaining about me gooning at home, well look at me now mom!
>>2860847Nice try faggot. You are not Appalacian Cabin anon. And you're not funny.
>>2860861Sounds like somebody’s jealous he doesnt have a goon cabin. How do you know he doesn’t wank it in there? I know I would
I am extremely tempted to buy a nice block of land and build a tiny home. I am qualified and could easily do it but I just need to commit. I am also single so it would be difficult to meet a girl outside of a community
>>2860870>but I just need to commit.do it. i took the plunge in 2019 and it was a great decision. everyone thought i was stupid and was going to waste my money and fail. if you do it with savings and dont have a mortgage you can get by on almost nothing and never having to worry about being evicted gives you peace of mind. i now have time to do all my hobbies i never had time for. it also was a great decision financially, my land increased 5x in value. yolo>I am also single so it would be difficult to meet a girl outside of a communitymost women arent even worth beind nice to let alone marry. they will just bitch and moan everyday until they bankrupt and divorce you.
>>2860873>my land increased 5xThis.I initially bought 20 acres and recently the 20 adjoining acres became available.I paid 4x what it sold for 10 years ago- didnt really have a choice on that, if I didnt buy it someone else would have and no fucking way am I having a neighbor that close when all the other lots in the "neighborhood" are like 200-500 acres.But it also increased the resale value of my original parcel by making it twice the size so on paper im still ahead.
>>2860887How will you use you land anon? I have 50 acres but I have yet to do anything with it. Might use it to crow food crops, maybe build a cabin, or both. Not sure yet. It's pretty good land.
>>2860889nta but if you have land you should plant an orchard asap, walnut or similar in priority, then the fruit that is know to grow well in the regiona vegetable gardenif you want to do real farm work wheat is a no brainer
>>2860889I have a 15 acre motorcycle track because ive been riding dirt for 30 years and now I can just do cool shit like that.>>2860890Really weird that you mentioned walnuts.The 40 acres is my hunting cabin.My house is on 20 acres and I have a black walnut tree (also have an orchard and blah blah blah).But I have one walnut and its an absolute pita to harvest the nuts so we ignore it but every year theres dozens of saplings that pop up and this year I decided that instead of mowing them down id dig them up and transplant them out to the hunting cabin. I put them in pots a couple months ago and took them out and am waiting for the most dormant time of year to put them in the ground (I guess thats like "now").Also dug up the volunteer maples because I like maples.And about a dozen saw tooth oaks because those damn to things are like 50 bucks a piece.
>>2860917Oh ya. For the recordI make bank off pecans in a good year.Pears and apples we can for the family.
>>2860652Thats a window
>>2860652That is trivial. Tar paper the outside then use mill scraps for siding, it is now draft tight. Chink it with loose insulation then throw another layer of tar paper over it and tack Lauan over that with ring nails. Or just wall the interior like he made the door. Use some mill scraps for strapping if you want and the nicer pieces for trim. The same method he used for the door can make a floor.

>>2860969imagine your address being 0 private road off highway
>>2860947What's your point?>My gf.So, not your wife.>House on the beach.Is it a wood cabin? Because this is a thread about wood cabins, not beach houses.
>>2860947How does she plan to kill her parents? Let me guess, she wants you to do it for her. Then you take the fall, she gets the house, and rides the cock carousel at the beach
>>2861003My property didn't have an address when I bought it. Technically my second lot still does not have an address.
>>2861028How do you get mail?
>>2861039I have an address now.Had to call some county tech that came out and checked where my cabin was with GPS in relation to the road and I got a street number (its not done by driveway location- makes sense when you think about how buildings can be arranged on a large piece of property).Mailbox is about a mile down the road- was the closest place a mail carrier could access the shoulder due to how the road has cliffs/ditches along the edge.
>>2861051That’s fair. Sounds like a preddy good setup. If I ever get an inna woods place my two requirements are 1. A spring/ source of fresh water, and 2. A lake/ place to raise fish. I grew up in Mississippi and I know that if you have a decent sized lake you can eat forever raising catfish
>>2861057I have a non-navigable creek and found out that if I wanted to build a pond fed from it that it was an act of congress level of paperwork because of those affected downstream.Makes sense- I wouldnt want someone upstream to damn the creek and cause my portion of the creek to dry up.Something to keep in mind- best to get a parcel with an existing pond or do your due diligence on local regulations before you buy if its an important aspect of the property to you.Luckily in my area you can drill anywhere and hit water. My well driller was impressed with what he hit and says it can pull about 100 gpm. 220 feet drill with water at 120 and pump sitting at 170.I had a friend in Nevada who had some property and got a quote from a well driller. They said in that area they MIGHT hit water at 2,500 feet but the odds were not in their favor and even if its a dry hole that will be $50,000. Mine was $9,000 and that included drill, casing, pump, expansion tank, trenching the water line to the cabin and even clearing about 1/10th of an acre of saplings and overgrowth.

>>2861465Ya he claimed he bought a piece of land in the middle of nowhere.

>>2860075Which country besides the US and Canada would be suited for living away from civilization?I want 5 to 10 acres, at least 2 hrs away from the nearest human settlement.I'm not planning a full homestead but like hens, ducks, rabbits, goats, and a donkey or mule (I like donkeys).Depending on the climate I'd grow potatoes (because store bought varieties are trash), legumes and greens.Flour and rice and other shit would be bought in bulk.It's just very hard to find a country which allows such kind of living. Most countries don't even allow you to build on your own land, unless it's already in a residential zone.I'm European, so my first thought was some abandoned mountain village in Portugal or Italy.
>>2861752>Most countries don't even allow you to build on your own land, unless it's already in a residential zone.yeah, now on paper it's possible to change the status of land, at least in france, need to go to the local mayor, ask of utilities (water/electricity) to be installed and have an address which can be refused, and then ask for a permit and a declaration to build anything which also can be refused, but since it's handled locally you can just bribe the guy, pretty sure everyone does that anyway
>>2860075Not a cabin, but I was hiking with a group of friends and we got caught in a snow storm which was not expected that time of year. We were not dressed or equiped for that weather and was miles away from anywhere. Came across a stone building in a valley and the 6 of us crammed in and waited out the storm overnight. That night sealed the deal with a girl I was trying to get into and we got married 2 years later. We went back to that same building a few years ago. Picrel.
>>2860075hmmm yes, think of building a small cabin. nothing too big just bigger than a tent what would b some good tools to build this with?
>>2861802i dont want bugs to get in so have the logs b close together and nothing where a snake could get in either.
>>2861802>>2861803

>>2862025This is true. I’m American (blonde/ blue eyed) and even I got stares when walking into places. Managed to earn the respect of the locals in this locals pub by downing like 4 pints in a row. They were really friendly after that
>>2861025Yeah, it is a wood cabin.
Any updates on the cabin?

>>2862278I cant believe nobody pointed this out before but those are chickens in that photoDamn Im so smart and clever You all jealous that I knew what a chicken looked like?
Cabin owned by family. Off grid. No cell service. No water. No electric.
>>2862311
>>2862311Also has ten acres of riverfront
>>2861752Portugal and Italy are packed. Plus I remember the covid outbreak in N Italy was because of jeet DoorDashers speaking it around. If they have either jeets or DoorDash in the country areas then there’s nowhere in that country that’s “away from civilization”.Spain, Ireland and Scotland are basically empty by Euro standards.>>2862311If you got like 2-3k you could get an all-in-one battery/solar generator, 600w of solar, a 12v car fridge/cooler, Starlink,, some led lights and an air fryer, then you can go there and shit post while eating some tendies in between your morning hikes and afternoon fishing
>>2862315I think you're missing the point. I like it how it is. Need to redo the outhouse after a tree fell and crushed it though.
>>2862316> I think you're missing the point. I like it how it is. Absolutely based. It looks like absolute gorgeous land. Somewhere out in NW/ NC USA I would guess
WOULD I?? The entire system here is made to stop me from doing that. It's my simple dream, to own a modest plot of land and live on it, the primary reason I'd get off my arse and work hard, but it's denied! Here you have to be a fucking company director to be able to afford such a natural existence, they keep us head down all day for damp little brick houses that will still be there long after we've died of heartbreak.I'm not feeling good about any of it, I'm in my mid-30s and feel like I can't even start off in life because such a normal, natural life is denied systematically.
>>2862325>I'm in my mid-30s and feel like I can't even start off in life because such a normal, natural life is denied systematically.my life started in my mid 30's anon. there are alot of ways to still make money but you will have to make some sacrifices. i went to the north dakotan oil field when i was 32 and worked all i could. at 39 i took all my savings and built a homestead. living in north dakota can be miserable, nothing to do and extremely cold in winter but you can get unlimited overtime and stack cash. some jobs even provide housing and that really allows you to save. the system is definitely stacked against you but its not impossible. honestly if you dont have the ability to do what it takes to sacrifice, persevere and save $100k then you dont have what it takes to just live on a modest piece of land.
>>2862311That look cozy as fuck and a relaxing place to get away from everything
>>2862356It's great, I don't go often enough.
>>2862313can you do some good fishing here? if so then i'm jelly
>>2862381Yes, the river has fish but there's a large habitat restoration effort going on currently so I'm not sure about legally harvesting fish.
Any cabin updates?
>>2862448I got arrested. I was in my cabin, laying in the ground jacking it when they showed up at my front door. Just bailed out but when I got back they had burnt my cabin down! My mom is going to be so pissed when I have to start jacking it at home again and messing up all her towels
>>2862639Whoa
>>2862639Senpai is this real?
>>2862639Fake news. My cabin did not burn down and I’m going back there to jack it this afternoon
Cabinanon confirmed for a LARPing faggot.He posted pics of fruit trees he claimed he planted 5 years ago with the cabin in the back ground. Along with chickens and rabbits.That along with the fat cat that has been in-frame for some of his pics and a portable 110v table saw all together proves hes in his parents back yard just fucking off.Instead of being honest from the beginning he turned it into some offgrid zoomer fantasy.
>>2862996Yet, he is creating something, and you aren't. Fuck off.
>>2862996i admitted my larp a month ago anon. its my house though not my parents. >>2860567>>2862448it rained 2 inches in 3hrs this morning and water was running down the hill and the cabin was totally fine. no water got inside so i might skip chinking it.
>>2862996Who gives a shit you faggot. Cabinanon is actually doing something and has created something. I don't care where or how he does it, as long as it is /out. Don't stop Cabinanon! Keep posting updates. Fuck these demoralising, useless faggots.
>>2863022His cabin looks kinda malnourished like you would make in a truly off grid situation with hand tools but now it just looks incompetent
>>2860371Cute cat
>>2862997I actually did the cabin innawoods though.I almost froze to death the first winter when it was 17°F and I had no insulation, electricity or furnace.I spent 2 years shitting in a bucket before I saved enough for a septic.Another 3 years filling up jugs of water from a friend's garden hose on the way home from work before I saved enough for a well.So you can blow me.
>>2860373GYATT ZAYUMN
>>2862998It was a fun little experiment to get this far but I dont think you've played out the math on your chinking formula.You'd have to run a firepit every night to get enough ash to run just 1/4 way down one log seem. And most of your gaps are too large to pack anyways. You'd be better off with spray foam or some shit.
>>2863062i ran my woodstove all winter. i have 4 five gallon buckets of woodash saved. large gaps you fill with crumbled up chicken wire before you apply chinking.
>>2863057Why would anyone voluntarily do this to themself? If you have a job you’re not broke so why live like a homeless person?
>>2863110What were you doing 5 years ago?How much did you spend on rent last year?How much will you spend on rent in the next 5 years?When you move, will any of your rent be refunded? Will you receive any money from the next person that moves in?
>>2863114I’ve never rented anything. My parents died when I was a teenager in a car accident and I got 100k in live insurance. I bought real estate and was a multi millionaire by the time I turned 25
>>2863123My brother bought boats guns and cars and ended up broke

>>2863412It gets better.>admitted its a larp because hes a NEET that had nothing else to do over the winter but feed his parents cat.>bounced his dull assed hatchet off a log and gouged the fuck out of his arm- no stitches and now he has a fucked up crater of a scar and nerve damage.>never finished cabin because it started to warp and pop apart because he ran rail road spikes through broom handles.>already collapsing under its own weight and he only posts pics from 100 feet away.Hopefully he'll atleast post pics of the bonfire when his parents tell him to get rid of it.
I'd rather not post anything on this site, bye
>>2863420look at this crybaby, like what did you expect? I bet you are a zoomer because even the nastiest millennial won't bother with the shit you made.
bubble's shed looks more liveable, you should have known at some point that you fucked up. I honestly have no idea how you think this is still salvageable.
>>2863515Idk nothing wrong with a multiple generations living on the same large farmhouse you're probably a suburbanoid living in your small single generation disposable house
>>2863592And I know people who live on a big family compound. Every family has their own house. It’s not just one big house
>>2863443>>2863515>>2863592>>2863600>>2863604the cabin is doing based, i built some shelves and have moved lots of stuff in it. it survived a big rain storm no problem. leveled out in front of it and made some water diversions. im not 60 and i dont live with my parents. picrel is a picture of my house which i also built.
>>2863635> I had to lie to post my larp on the incorrect board after the lie about my larp on another board didnt have enough (you)s.Go away.
>>2860370>>2860371>>2860564>>2860585You need to >chink the walls (moss is probably best)>add a sloped roof (snowfall will kill you otherwise)>seal the bottom
Godspeed to all the brave anons trying to something new. May your cabins be strong enough for winter or better yet dont risk it. Hundreds died in Texas during the freeze a couple years back.
>>2863825My cabin survived a direct hit from a Cat 3 hurricane.Had some trees leaning precariously towards it but managed to drop them without hitting the cabin. Should have dropped them years ago. Im being more selective on what I allow to grow next to it now.
>>2863862Nice. Yeah it’s not hard to make a resistant cabin if you know what you’re doing. My family have a cabin that’s been around since the 1920s and has been through dozens of hurricanes no problem including the worst one of the 20th century, Camille. That one anon’s “log” cabin wouldn’t last one big thunderstorm
>>2863879I did have a wasp and Asian ladybug infestation over the winter.They came in through a vent to survive the cold I guess. Every time I went out there there was 50 on the door trying to get out.Ladybugs werent an issue but having 100 paper wasps inside was a little annoying.Looks like im finally done with them though, none there today.
>>2863891Just wait until you get bees living in your walls and you don’t realize it yet, you just hear random scratching at night and have no idea what it is or where’s it’s coming from. That was a trip
>>2860564>>2860585how much did you spend on materials
>>2863999>$25 on nails>$40 on 2x4's>$110 on tin>$10 on hinges
>>2864001what is the floor size and what do you plan to do about it
i built and lived in one in alaska for several winterscost in total was around 50k for land and materials, it took about two months to build with most of that being sledding out materials.access is only by a moderately long and remote trail so i had to spend a decent chunk on four wheelers/snowmachines alsoit was fun and challenging to build (stick built, local trees are bad) but it became very demoralizing and lonely as less and less friends came to visit. my life just became a cycle of cook, work on trail, shovel roof, cut wood, shoot guns, watch movies, and sleep. also drink. a lot of drinking.it was worth it but now it is just more of a getaway/backup cabin.
>>2864388>also drink. a lot of drinking.Innawoods anon here.Can verify.
>>2860564It's something alright would nut inside my woman there/10.
>>2860373Most kino ITT>>2860374Ive got no experience, but isnt it recommended that there be a 90* bend in the pipe to act as a sort of spark arrester and to keep the heat inside?
>>2860373Also snce no one has said it yet, when you buy your stove you need to run a fire through it at least once outdoors before installing it to burn off some of the nastier chemicals inside from manufacturing (or something like that).
>>2866433not an expert but do have some experiencea huge majority of the heat comes from the stove itself and not the pipe. you want a good draft from the pipe so the less curvature the better as far as combustion goes. this also makes cleaning and creosote buildup easier to manage.i have a double wall straight pipe(about 16 ft) and it works great. once the interior of the pipe heats up it makes an excellent draft that lasts even until the fire is almost dead. if i open the vent all the way it burns like a jet engine and it heats up very quickly. if i really wanted even longer burn times i could install a damper and achieve what you are talking about but i haven't found it necessary.
>>2860262>Hes either dead in his car on the side of a mountain or at his parents house.To be honest this is what I've always aspired to.
how do you transport somewhat thick beams of lumber up a narrow hiking track 20 mins up into the mountain alone?
>>2867294Logjack.
>>2867306that's stupid
>>2867333Whatever you say lady.
>>2867342that's just flat land garbage where you can just roll the log anyway
>>2860075The closest i have ever gotten to that, was at a friends cabin in the middle of the woods. There were no electricity and no running water. The light inside was from petroleum lamps, and we cooked on a gas stove. The gas was from a big bottle. The water we got from a hand cranked water pump, that was connected to a well somehow. In order to flush the toilet, we had to go get a bucket of water from the nearby stream. Was an experience to try, but i wouldnt wanna stay like that for prolonged periods.
>>2867346>narrow pathNot up a narrow path. Why are you such a petulant child?
>>2867349you think this can go up a nearly vertical mountain trail with rocks etc stupid fuck
>>2867350Yes. People have been doing it with hand tools and horses for literally thousands of years asshat.
>>2860262my cabin is doing based and im doing based. i made an update thread the other day but tranny janny deleted it.
>>2867355Whack shack anon lives. That “foundation” is still laughable. Good to see the white supremacist compound.
>>2867357>innawood>in his parent backyard>talk about famine>no crops anywhere to be seenofficially the biggest larper faggot this board have seen in years
>>2867355I saw it, but it disappeared so quickly that I didn't even have time to reply. They wished and prayed that cabin would fall apart, but it didn't. Good job, have fun and ignore faggots. Do you have any plans for that? The stove will look great there.
>>2860075I rented a log cabin for 6~ years.Very kino but lots of spiders. LOTS of spiders. You have no idea how many fucking spiders love to live in log cabins.One morning I woke up to take a shit and I found four black widows in my toilet bowl. Only other downside is that I was 45m~ away from civilization. But it was dead quiet at night, so that was neat.
how will you make money on your homesteadno joke answersinnawoods means no money and the bills won't stop coming in
>>2867369>and the bills won't stop coming inwell the point is to be autonomous on as much things as possible to remove these billslike replacing the water bill by a well, or the electricity bill by solar panels/windmill/watermill, groceries by growing your own food, etc...i suppose you can sell your food excess (tho regulations might forbid that in most places), furs if you hunt, or you could grow a commodity like tobacco or firewood
>>2867377now you're just saddling yourself with more regulations
>>2867369>no joke answersStarlink + solar panel + laptop + remote job.
>>2867380>anon what didn't you clock in yesterday>was cloudy mate>get firedjokes aside most remote jobs don't let you be fully remote
>>2867380this was actually possible before ai slop took overt. former content writer
>>2867382if an LLM replaced you, you were shitty at what you were doing.
>>2867369my bills are $150/month>$100 power>$50 phonei earn that mowing my neighbors lawn and doing odds and ends for him. i started breeding rabbits and thanks to meat prices a female breesing rabbit is going for $40 on faceberg. as soon as i get a hand pump for my well im probably going to shut my power off.
>>2860075without electricity or proper plumbing? most people would not do it, it is boring you would have to go wander in the woods to stay sane
>>2867393>i started breeding rabbits and thanks to meat prices a female breesing rabbit is going for $40 on facebergdo you bother with selling fur as well or not?>>2867394>most people would not do it, it is boring you would have to go wander in the woods to stay sanegrowing stuff and raising livestock is time consuming, you'll be fine on that part
>>2867387llm flooded the market with stolen content, i was quite good at what i was doing and that's why they crawled over my and other people's work and spammed it endlessly on their platforms
>>2867393>$40 rabbits off FacebookNgmi.I hate you so much but here https://breeders.homesteadrabbits.com/Also, wasting sickness is real. Get a goat and chickens like a fucking human.
>>2867397>wasting sickness is realAre you talking about "rabbit starvation"or chronic wasting disease?Because rabbit starvation isnt real. Its like saying "water can kill you".Yes, people have died from drinking too much water (I know of a radio contest where it happened) but as long as you aren't some troll in a cave that eats nothing but rabbits for 2 years it will have zero effect on you.
>>2867399ChatGPT really, really tried with this response.
>>2867399Seeth and cope retard. Dilate while you’re at it.
>>2867400>>2867408Oh look, the basement dwellers found /out/.Rabbits have been a food source for humans and predators for their entire existence.Isnt it weird how all these predator species havent gone extinct from eating rabbits?
>>2867410weirdly their behaviour is an american only thing, i don't know why this is a thingrabbit eating is seen as a normal thing anywhere else
>>2867410>>2867415We’re not exclusively carnivores retards. I promise I’ve slaughtered skinned and gutted more rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, and hogs than you ever ever will. I can’t even with you third world shitskin morons.
>>2867417nice larp faggot
>>2867421Shhh. The adults are speaking. Go back to your turnips and rabbits thirdie. >thanksgiving confuses and enrages third world scum
holy shit americans are so retarded
>>2867396>i was quite good at what i was doingyou were a slop shitter, now the slop machine makes better slop for less>reeee they be steelin meh poop!yes all slop, very much including yours, is derivative of earlier slop
>>2867417Why would you think that someone who raises meat rabbits is ONLY eating rabbits?Youre like the guy who refuses to wear his seat belt because a friend's coworker's uncle's brother-in-law said he was in an accident and would have died if he had been wearing a seat belt.Youre parroting fuddlore and old wives tales that you believe are facts because you cant think for yourself.There are ZERO recorded instances of people dying from "rabbit starvation".Its a theoretical concept used to explain a condition that can be caused by many different circumstances. Rabbits were only used as an example. Theyre not directly associated.
>>2867443>jack sprat are no fat>his wife she ate no leanThe US government recognized the validity of these findings in a booklet for airmen downed in jungle, desert, or arctic terrain:12 “Because of the importance of fats, under no circumstances limit yourself to a meat diet of rabbit.” -Education Division of the United States Army Air Force. Jungle, Desert, and Arctic Emergencies. 1941-1947
>>2867443he is an anti meat WEF great reset shill.
>>2867453I literally posted a picture of my own dead turkey you absolute retard >>2867427>mfw
>>2867447Lol.The only "evidence" its ever happened is a report from a globohomo corporation from 200 years ago.Post the one about the expedition to the arctic next.
>>2860106There's a bar in my area with a dirt floor that's been standing for around 50 years.
>>2860374Max cozy. Makes me want to eat vegetable soup from a wooden bowl then lay with my wife upon a bear skin.
>>2860382I could see if it's a sweetheart cabin but eventually your kids will want to use it
>>2860775Has it held up year over year? I've heard they need to be replaced often
>>2860776Hey, if I could run a computer and potentially a Starlink or homelab that's all I'd need. Literally everything else is fine the old school way (wood stove, lanterns/candles, well with dry sink, etc) only thing that can't be figured around is wanting to run the terminal so I can watch my movie collection.
>>2860870Still worth it. My Stepdad had a house he technically inherited for years just sitting abandoned until he finally met my Mom and they fixed it up a bit and moved into it
>>2861039Nta but why would you want to? I'd have it delivered to a P.O. Box or a family member's place.
>>2861060Did they throw any weird chemicals in your water? I've always heard they mess with it and don't give you a choice.
>>2861216The Arctic circle I wager. The more inhospitable the less they'll mess with you.
>>2861752> PortugalDon't do it. Californians are flooding it
>>2862325Anon brick houses are based. Count your blessings.
>>2863110You wouldn't get it.
>>2867381Haven't tried it yet but I've heard people say they're Starlink got buried under three feet of snow and still worked
>>2867447They also told my grandpa the best way to cool down was to drink hot water.
>>2867447Already went over this.You can die from drinking too much water.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxicationYou can die from too much oxygenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_toxicityThats what your "rabbit starvation" is.Saying "omg people who eat too much rabbit are going to die" is the same exact fucking thing as saying "omg people who drink too much water are going to die".You can OD on every vitamin that humans require to survive.
>>2867490Aight lady I’m not going to try convince rabbit starvation is real. You enjoy your bunny dinners all you want.What makes me curious is why the vehement denials? My guess is you’re trying to make money back on your investment and are the fag on fakebook charging $40 a rabbit. Sink cost fallacy on display. “No you gotta buy into rabbits because I did and I’ve invested too much time, energy, and money into it and I can’t admit when I’m wrong.” That’s you. That’s what you sound like.To reiterate: rabbit starvation is real. You need more than lean meat to live.(So controversial)!
>>2867486i don't doubt the starlink, i doubt the solar panelsand a battery don't last long enough, my uncle live not innawood but in a fishing cabin on a lake, solar's just enough for phone and lights, and he doesn't use his computer so much
>>2867495People wbo claim theyre innawoods on nothing but solar are either full of shit or live like Jeremiah Johnson.They cite theoretical output on a set of panels they show but never mention seasonal changes or battery usage during 3 days storms.We had an anon who worked on ship for 6 months then chilled in a cabin with a view of Mt. Denali. To get supplies he rode his snowmobile down to meet a sea plane at an unnamed lake.THAT is a use for solar.But trying to be sone apocalypse prepper or spending $10k for a setup just to be "self sufficient" and not pay $140 a month to a power company is the dumbest shit ever- especially considering by the time you get close to breaking even you have to replace power cells And heaven forbid a branch or hail damages a set of panels.And all of that effort and you still dont get A/C and are wasting time stoking a stove day after day.
>>2867512yeah, only a water turbine is reliable enough, and even then it can be damaged by freezing water in winter depending on the setup
>>2860380>just need a plot of land and sanitationU need lot more than that, it's called permits here in USA
>>2867520>oh say can you see
>>2867520The only permit I needed was for septic.No requirements for water or electric- theyre not even required if i want to live without them. They dont care if I freeze to death but open sewage contaminates the surrounding properties. You can actually be evicted from your own property over sewage issues.Any structures only have to be inspected/certified (certificate of occupation) if i rent it. Its my right as a 'merican to die when my shoddily constructed shack collapses.This is strictly regional of course.Building on the beach in Los Angeles is going to be very different than building in bum fuck nowhere Nebraska.
>>2867534>Building on the beach in Los Angeles is going to be very different than building in bum fuck nowhere Nebraska.That makes sense but legit houses there only cost $50k lol, if that's the move then why even move to the woods and struggle with permits and septic and all the aforementioned shit lol
>>2867539Because that $50k house isnt on 100 acres in the middle of a forest.Its on a 1/4 acre lot on the same street as Dollar General.Id rather spend $50K for acreage and live in a shack made out of palets than $50k for a house and listen to the meth dealer neighbor beating his girlfriend on the other side of the backyard fence thats 10 feet from my bbq pit.And if I had $100k I wouldnt get a $50k house on $50k of land.Id get $100k in land.Oh wait.Thats exactly what I did...
>>2860075Nigga I live in Florida you will roast to death before July 4th
>>2867355Any cabin updates? Have you added a floor yet?
>>2868006his mom's husband burned it in the fireplace, to be fair it was his firewood OP used to make his junior cuckshed
>>2861752iirc there's quite a lot of surprisingly affordable houses in rural Sweden/Norway/Finland. I'd love to do it, small little house on the side of a lake/river/fjord, but I bet doing it whilst getting an employment visa is a pain in the ass.
>>2868058Also goes without saying that cost of living is fucking high in these countries so even if you can afford the building you might not be able to afford living in it with whatever remote job you can scrounge up.
>>2868058Just start using really hardcore fake tan and tell them you’re muslim, they’ll give you a house for free along with free money every month. No visa necessary
>>2860075Lest I am living under the gelid woodlands of Alaska, I am not compelled to build a shed.
>>2867387what a stupid thing to say
>>2867369what bills
>>2868140>[angry shitty content producer sounds]kek
>>2868185you shouldn't have to be the best in the world in order to make a living from something ultimately what you're doing is just a douchey underhanded rokos basilik
>>2868232the cabin is doing good, getting ready to seal it now that it has had time for the wood to cure. raccoons have been trying to get it it.
>>2868239One lit cross in the yard usually gets rid of most coons.
>>2868239>mfw I can see straight through it but it doesn't have any windows
>>2868239Looks good bro. Any plans on chinking or floors?
>>2868208You just have to not be shit son, but you are.find a job you can at least be mediocre at.remember no one is obligated to prop you up and subsidize you just so you can pretend to be competent.
>>2868239Looks good. Few questions:-How is the window holding up?-Have you decided on which burner/stove you are going to use?- What is your plan to seal it?Proud of you, Cabin Anon. Keep it up.
>going through all that trouble, stick a machete in your arm>ignore every advice, from the foundation to the door down a slope>to just quickly half ass some shitty flat roofthis is honestly the worst bit to me, the sudden lack of commitment combined with the worth choice of solution just to dare call it finished
>>2868290post your shed faggot.
>>2868348so you do agree it's more of a shed than a proper cabinalso you said you wouldn't come back because we were mean, why didn't you commit as well here
>>2860075plenty of tiny cabins around the wilderness areas here. Can only be heated by the firewood which you can collect yourself, or the people who stayed previously left some for the next people to come. Some are quite remote.
>>2868351yes, it is a shed i confessed to that months ago
>>2868377Is it actually a wank shed or were you just joking? I mean, I’m not gonna judge a man for building a wank shed in the woods, but if you’re gonna build a wank she’d at least put a floor in it so you’re not surrounded with bugs and critters while you’re working one out
>>2868391being covered in vermin is one of his fetishes.
>>2868404Bet he’d do great in fear factor
>>2868452>cocaine is a hellova drughttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7vUvQHYc3K0
>>2868391It's not "in the woods".Its in the yard of his parents house.He could have been honest from the beginning and just been like "eh, I have a bunch of trees and was bored so thought id make a simple log structure just to see if I could do it" instead of the "i just bought property in the middle of nowhere, building a house to live in" bullshit lie.Would have actually had respect from the board.
>>2868494i had to make it political or tranny janny would delete my thread
>>2868503That’s fair. At least you’re honest now. Props bro. Would like some updates though if you can spare
>>2860075Currently building. 10x16 with half loft and cathedral ceiling. Already took a full hit from a 75 foot black cherry and was totally fine. Plan off grid solar and wood stove. I'm a geophysicist with woodworking background. 3 inch industrial grade Rockwood exterior insulation and then 2 inch interior insulation. Large south facing window and 2 foot roof overhangs so ambient heat in winter from low sun and shade in summers. White metal roof so no maintenance and cooler in summer. My foundations used no concrete, I used mechanically stabilized earth. Cabin hasn't moved a mm yet. Also used adjustable deck supports which worked well. Planted so many fucking nut and fruit and berry trees now... Pawpaw, American chestnut, peach, plum, various apple, pecan, hickory, butternut, haskap, Saskatoon, all the raspberries and boysenberry, pineberry... Etc. forest is mature sugar maple so syrup x infinity. Plan to use cubic grizzly with roaster to basically cook anything. I've got it all worked out. Micro 5v piezo pumps to gravity feed water, temp switches to destratify cabin air...
>>2868523You’re too good for this board, anon. I’m going to call you a nigger for not planting mulberry (considering I already know it’s outside of your zone based on your plantings) and call you a nigger. God bless
>>2868523you should post a couple pictures of it.
>>2868529Based berry anon. I have six mature mulberry trees. 2 male and 4 female.
>>2868503No.Instead of posting on /pol/ you should have just kept it to /out/ and /diy/.But you needed the (you)s for your ADHD endorphine rush.
>>2868523I bought one of these a few years ago.I tow it behind my riding mower.Damn thing is amazing.Pecans get wedged in the spines on the drum then fingers between the spines dislodge them into the bins. Pop out bin, pour into bag, repeat.Ground needs to be fairly smooth for it to work, it rolls over divets and need to do a "clean up" run before nuts start to fall but overall well worth the price.
>>2868604Oh ya.Dont forget to hang it up for storage otherwise the spines get deformed from being squished too long.
