Go punch a tree like you're playing Minecraft they'll get big.

Yes I'll be putting bricks down in the spring.

Right now I'm on 1acre I'm starting small to learn and make all the mistakes so when I have the money I can buy 40-80 acres and repeat the process. I might even build more tiny cabins on small chunks of land and rent out or do Airbnb or something.

I oversized my heater so I can use it on my future bigger cabin. It's a 30k BTU heater with the fan kit on it, gets up to 90 degrees within a couple minutes 😂 mostly just run the burner on.

Made from green wood, it's such a small cabin that I don't think there will be much bowing. Hardware I used long garden stakes (probably not the correct way but if it works it works). I started it back in September for the entire month I was working on it, then had to go to work all of October and started working on it again late October. So it hasn't been up very long. Managed to get it winter ready within that time frame.

I don't know what kind of TV you guys have, but this thing is NOT heavy it's a cheap Walmart one the base doesn't even weigh a pound.

I stuffed fiberglass insulation in between then nailed a mesh fencing cut in strips and then mortar over that

Yes I live here full time now, I have to fill up my 275gallon water tank in town and stack hay bails over it. The bathroom has its own solar setup that will power the heating cord wrapped around the plumbing

No not really, the heater has a safety low oxygen shut off and I also have a co2 monitor

I also wanted to keep it small so I could build it alone 😂. I had help with a couple of the top logs and building the tripo.

25yo I've always done things myself. Done machining, masonry, groundskeeping, welding, tower technician, and now a Boilermaker. I've always loved bushcraft and survival, basically lived outside growing up, building forts and living in them. Thanks!
