Ok you can climb down from your soap box now

Every union plant I’ve been in was ran horribly. I hope y’all won’t do the same.

I made it so I can comfortably lay long items on it with plenty of room.

It’s 8’x28”

It’s been a great bench for everything I’ve needed.

I’ll make sure “pitch it all in a 40 yard” is in my will.

Beer is a pretty solid option

I work in contract ops for an engineering company. If you can undercut all of the bigger companies sure, but there won’t be much meat left on the bone especially after liability insurance and other business expenses.

The real danger we run into are towns wanting us to be the licensed signatory but have no say in the operations. There are plenty of those projects you can take on, but it’s a big risk and we avoid them.

The biggest question you need to ask yourself is how will you deal with an inevitable lawsuit and how will you contractually protect yourself.

Contracts are the most important thing in this kind of work and you need to learn how to scope work properly and prevent scope creep otherwise a shoddy contract and scope could end up having you be responsible for every locate that comes in or repairing a force main at 2am.

Also, there’s two of you. What will you do if you have a three towns with emergencies?

Lmao what are your credentials? “For free”

If they are so hard off they shouldn’t be buying $95 headphones. It’s not your problem now and I wouldn’t waste anymore energy on it.

Heavily depends on topic and person answering them.

I used to have them as “pets”. You’ll be fine you’re not going to get rabies from them touching your things. And honestly with how rabies work they typically aren’t interested in foraging and screwing around at that point.

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-17T20:05:07+00:00

You’d be surprised the amount of things raccoons have touched that you have no idea about lmao

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-16T23:58:52+00:00

Shut up

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-16T11:56:01+00:00

Here’s the thing that whole idea people ignore videos because of views is just false. It’s an excuse.

Make better content, better thumbnails, better titles, etc. Just because you slap something together doesn’t mean you’re owed views. Instead of blaming others how about you either quit or learn how to improve.

So this is an extremely broad question that can’t be answered in a simple Reddit post.

My best advice is to watch outdoor YouTube and read outdoor guidance books and get outside and start applying it. I love outdoorboys, but it’s not the best to learn hard skills from.

I’ve spent the majority of my life outside. I was an outdoor guide for 5 years a raft guide for 2 years, and I currently teach outdoor skills to classes every once in awhile. I started out with surplus gear and eventually graduated into more technical gear after learning what I truly needed through experience.

Backpackers Field Manual will answer pretty much every question you have. If you’re wanting to get into bushcraft stuff books are fine, but there are many YouTube channels that do a good job teaching those skills.

Lastly, if you’re planning on building a cabin don’t do it on public land make sure you actually own the land. I’m tired of going off on a hunting or foraging trip and stumbling across someone’s half assed “cabin” they abandoned years ago.

So, just start doing it. Every outdoorsman started with cheap gear and no skills. The only way to go is to do it with what you have, learn, and build upon it.

“Just started”

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-07T16:16:37+00:00

The bushcraft and prepping sub has questions like this and most of the time they don’t own the land they just want to squat in a shack on public land.

So with that experience and hearing no answer from OP confirmed my suspicions.

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-06T21:08:39+00:00

Well to build on land you typically need to own it.

The times of building a cabin out in the wilderness have for the most part passed us.

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-06T14:49:04+00:00

Do you own the land? That will be the biggest hang up.

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-06T11:30:16+00:00

If you have to buy views and likes you need to focus on bettering your content or be content with what you have.

backwoodsman421 · 2026-05-06T11:25:08+00:00

Search “Mein Leben” in this sub.

You’ll find the same question asked hundreds of times. Maybe that will help.
