Channel Title: Cabin River Outdoors Channel Description: In 2021, (after years of searching) I was able to purchase a 41 acre/16.5 hectare property deep in the mountains of western Canada at a bargain price. It felt like winning a lottery! One of the only private properties in this gigantic region. Far away from just about any form of civilization and surrounded by an endless wilderness of valleys, rivers, lakes and large trees, I knew I had found a rare gem of private land. With no roads, no neighbors and very little building restrictions (and not to mention a river and creek that runs through it all !), I couldn't be happier with this freedom in the wilderness. Follow my journey while I try and carve something out of this raw and sometimes unforgiving wilderness. Starting from the ground up, I have my work cut out for me.

Welcome aboard for this one. Installing a tin roof in winter is no joke. Things freeze and everything becomes much slower. Take it day by day and do whatever I can. It can be pretty slippery on the tin whenever the temperature drops below freezing. Gerald (from previous videos) makes an appearance to help out with the roof on one of the days. Life is great out here in winter, and I hear some cold weather will be moving in to this region soon. I'm looking forward to some cold weather with a side of warm cabin in the coming days.

(Ep 33) Description: Welcome to Ep 33. I must be turning a corner soon. I sure hope so. I just need to get everything up to the property before snow sets in. Lots of logistical things in this one, yet (frustratingly) very little in the way of building. That's about to change! I have no choice but to keep on. Cable trolly talk. Boat motor talk (again). Floating down a river. #survival #cabinliving #camp TUFTE Use code cabinriveroutdoors to get 15% of your order at www.tuftewear.no/en or visit the link https://tuftewear.no/en/discount/cabinriveroutdoors to auto apply the discount in checkout.

Take a bit of a look into my life in this video. This will be a big year up at the remote off grid property. I make an exciting holiday detour and stay at a friends trapper cabin. Once the holidays are over, I return back to the north and begin work on the tin roof. I have multiple visits from a local Marten who seems very determined to eat all my groceries. Still a mild winter, but have my fingers crossed for some cold weather to freeze things over. #homesteading #offgridcabin #camp Thanks for joining the ride for this one.

Time to finally start building again. Thanks for stopping by. See you all out there! Shawn, Cabin River Outdoors </video> <video> Wooden Off Grid Cabin Build. Alone Again at Remote Mountain Homestead Property Description: The Eagle has landed. This video demonstrates building in changing weather conditions. Being away from the homestead and the challenges associated with traveling long distances to get anywhere. Short dark days make for excellent sleeps next to the all important wood stove. Working with someone versus working alone. Developing cabin comforts takes time. #homesteading #cabin #camp - Shawn TUFTE Helps Cabin River Outdoors.

Winter is Here. (Ep 37) Description: Carpentry, River travel and general off grid work before winter. You all know this is the most remote of the off grid channels. I don't have to fake anything out here or try to make it seem more remote than I already am. The Latvian Eagle has landed! My friend from days gone by has decided to make a vacation trip back to Canada. As an experienced woodsman, outdoors person, mechanic, carpenter and old friend, he could not have come at a better time. The help and team effort will be crucial for this time of year leading into winter. Plus, it's nice to have some company for the next several weeks. Andris is full of character and will be a welcome presence in the next few videos. #homesteading #cabin #woodworking Shawn Don't forget TUFTE !

The Latvian Eagle and I have been trudging through the snow and enjoying the winter time atmosphere. Rain moves in mid way through the week, but it's not enough to dampen our spirits. More building, more fun and adventure. Some trail drudgery and cabin time evenings beside the wood stove. Better than a 5 star hotel. This has been a fun week. Maybe Nibbles the weasel makes an appearance. ? -Shawn #cabin #homesteading #survival Don't forget my biggest supporter: TUFTE Use code cabinriveroutdoors to get 15% of your order at www.tuftewear.no/en or visit the link https://tuftewear.no/discount/cabinriveroutdoors to auto apply the discount in checkout.

Wooden Off Grid Cabin Build. Description: Video 41 is here! General work continues at the remote British Columbia property. Plenty of action on the trail. It's a good workout getting materials all the way to the river, but I would much rather build with local trees. Sawmill on the way for January, but part of me also wants to build with logs the old time way. As time moves on it will be exciting to build many different ways. More cabin building. The roof sheathing and framing for roof and walls will be completed for the wing wall addition. It sure looks beautiful here through the lense in winter. Glad you could make it. #homesteading #cabin #camp - Shawn TUFTE: Use code cabinriveroutdoors to get 15% of your order at www.tuftewear.no/en or visit the link https://tuftewear.no/en/discount/cabinriveroutdoors to auto apply the discount in checkout.

For having colleagues to banter with makes it all the more enjoyable. Watch someone else do silly things instead. You're all doing just fine. Here I am.

I'm sure the trappers had it so very difficult in a way which we will never know. The modern day wilderness person now relies on YouTube as a steady income. It's one way to make a dollar on your own free will. The romance of one against nature shows its ugly side the odd time.... and that's ok. See you all out there!

The ins and outs of what it takes to upload a video and earn a living while still in the building phase. No materials to keep building for the moment. Problem solving must go on. The stress of constantly editing with little time left over for 'real' work. How to balance it all?

Anything with a motor is now breaking down, but on the up side I'm quickly learning to become a mechanic of sorts out of desperation.
