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.

Back when my family owned 50 acres we'd stay in a small cabin with 2 sets of bunk beds
no 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 pancakes
we 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

Anyone know the do's and dont's for installing a woodstove?
>>
>>2860373

just 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)

mobile homes are considered trashy because of trailer parks, but functionally it work like a cabin, you just need a plot of land and sanitation
they might not be planned for wood stove/heating tho, but beside that most of the job it already done
also you can't learn without trying
>>
>>2860380
Yeah 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 picky
you 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 demand
but 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?

I 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.

Tar 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.

Those 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.

Thanks 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.

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 community
most 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 5x
This.
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.
>>
>>2860887
How 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.
>>
>>2860889
nta 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 region
a vegetable garden

I have a 15 acre motorcycle track because ive been riding dirt for 30 years and now I can just do cool shit like that.

Really 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.

That 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.

How do you get mail?
>>
>>2861039
I 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.
>>
>>2861051
That’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
>>
>>2861057
I 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.

Which 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

Not 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.

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!

>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.

>>
>>2862381
Yes, 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?
>>
>>2862448
I 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
>>
>>2862639
Whoa

>>2862639
Senpai is this real?
>>
>>2862639
Fake 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.
>>
>>2862996
Yet, he is creating something, and you aren't. Fuck off.
>>
>>2862996
i admitted my larp a month ago anon. its my house though not my parents.
>>2860567
>>2862448
it 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.
>>
>>2862996
Who 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.

>>2863022
His cabin looks kinda malnourished like you would make in a truly off grid situation with hand tools but now it just looks incompetent
>>

Cute cat

I 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.

It 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.
>>
>>2863062
i 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.

Why would anyone voluntarily do this to themself? If you have a job you’re not broke so why live like a homeless person?
>>
>>2863110
What 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?
>>
>>2863114
I’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

>didn't even bother to measure each "log" or make sure it will fit

I bet you are here to farm (You) no one is this fucking retarded on purpose

It 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
>>
>>2863420
look 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.

Idk 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

And I know people who live on a big family compound. Every family has their own house. It’s not just one big house

You need to

>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.
>>
>>2863825
My 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.
>>
>>2863862
Nice. 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
>>
>>2863879
I 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.
>>
>>2863891
Just 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

how much did you spend on materials
>>
>>2863999
>$25 on nails
>$40 on 2x4's
>$110 on tin
>$10 on hinges
>>
>>2864001
what is the floor size and what do you plan to do about it
>>
i built and lived in one in alaska for several winters
cost 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 also
it 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.
>>

>also drink. a lot of drinking.
Innawoods anon here.
Can verify.
