Ep.8 Closing Down the Off Grid Cabin Expansion - Winterizing Water Cistern, Closing Exterior

Lots of progress in this chapter of the off grid cabin. I work on insulating the water cistern from the elements so it doesn't freeze in the winter. I also complete the exterior of the cabin including the front door.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

The red magnet is to hang some kind of decor on the door.

[mikeyjames]

That magnet thing is to hang stuff on the door like a wreath or even your keys.

You do things that many of us wish we could do, but are not brave enough to try for fear of failure - that’s why it is fun to watch.
