HER FIRST Overnight at the Off Grid Cabin! | Fire Plate, Burgers and Movie Night

well guys welcome to another cabin episode and the cabin is not completely done yet we are to the point where we can actually start to think about overnighters and actually gonna do one today we're gonna get the stove installed because the nights are getting super super chilly Courtney's about to be here Poland's hanging around with me I'm looking forward to doing it first overnighter our first overnight as a family even though like I said it's not quite got all the amenities we need we're getting a lot closer that's for sure we got a metal plate fabricated we've got a little bit of clear coat finish on it so it doesn't rust we're gonna move it in to Rob Rob Rob that made this for me it's good guy he's not watching the channel because I said hey go take a look what did beardsman so he was like what's up so he looked and he made me this guy well just Rob we're gonna call him Rob well he didn't say to name the company so I'm not gonna need the company they say hey Rob thanks and this is gonna have a great home in the forest so the reason we got to put a metal plate down is because we've got plastic floor plastic e4 vinyl floor so we can't put it directly on top he's gonna melt the crap out of it we think it'll be fine if you put the metal just right down on top of the vinyl if there's some problems we'll figure it out but heat rises so I don't think it's gonna melt down below but we should build up at the pan just down the corner it's got a nice cut edge of the front drop the stove on top put the stovepipe back in and then we're back in business then we can see how hot this place actually gets with all the insulation we put in this place and the vapor barrier and all that stuff it's getting chilly I feel like I can even put a jacket on cool so we varnish this actually lacquered it just to keep this original your figured I'll be painted a black it would probably be too too much black and it always always looked dirty so we just tickled it blacker and now it's got the original steel patina I think it's a 3/16 chin plate steel and should serve its purpose well the trim here obviously is not the same height all the way around so go describe it and we're gonna take off little bit of it so that it touches the floor where the pan does not [Applause] she's not long enough gotta pull this and push this down well fire is rocking I've got our caught set up over here I'll show you that in a second we got a plethora of store-bought foods that's kind of unique for this channel you guys aren't used to that so the fire pans working really good get nice and cozy in here we're actually gonna throw some hamburgers out in the barbecue thank you guys for a quick peek up in the loft area here this isn't even done those boards aren't even nailed down we got caught he guys saw these before they're from Teton I'll give you guys a link below they're super super super strong durable they hold like four or five hundred pounds or something like that so I got one for me one for Courtney and homely use a roll mat just on the ground that's probably the safest for him since there's no railing here um let me climb up and you guys gonna have a peek you can stand up very easily at the top here in the middle head space I have from here over to here so it's quite lofty enough to sleep well for people if you really wanted to split that size we've got a window here it's hot up here already with that fire rockin so we're not gonna run it all night it's only early fall now but we'll put the mats down here we'll throw pushing down on top of those the Tetons you don't need them but we like to have them yeah I see if you guys ever have a peak from up here check out that view so you obviously don't want to fall down there and then we have a course to serve metal ladder to get up and down from the bottom here so we're gonna replace that at some point with a wooden ladder you guys saw the table episode that was built super heavy we're gonna make a bench over here and then we have the propane stove here this is from the demolition of the old trailer so that's going to get hosed in soon I'm hoping before the will and saving challenge gastón or piped in we have gas fitter who can give us a hand with that so it's going to run off propane and so for now we're kind of rel gated with cooking over the on the barbecue hole and just finished a hockey game and we came over right away so not a whole lot of time to mess around he's got the axe he's just he likes to play around with little things like that so he's just running around working on his Axman skills he's kind of runs around the forest and dropped some stuff I know what's the safest way to use an axe got by squirrel did you guys see the squirrel one we're built the tree stand it's drying out in the tree I'm actually gonna pull it in because it's supposed to rain tonight so we'll see if we get to hear that tin roof we've also got movie so we're gonna do our movie night out here I brought the laptop we've got our energy battery up running at the hot dog house there so we can we can do whatever we want out here we'll have lights and all that I'm just gonna settle in for now take a break I'm gonna make sure they get this fire stoked up to heat up all the wood in here so we get it to at least room temperature and then that up carry our thermal mass I'm pretty happy with how this turned out and it's giving us a chance to get out here closer to nature see this is a view right now in the woods and the fall woods I can zip over there ten minute walk and hunt deer I won't today but I offered a coil and a chance to take out some squirrels and he said yeah and I said you want to you want to actually kill a squirrel and he's like no so he's not there yet he's only ten don't blame him I think he would if he was hungry though that's for sure [Music] hello my friend squirrels here you will feel like Daddy no no you come here talk are you doing I'm doing them my house knows I love that tuck there wait a minute I think I made my burger so big and actually have to cut it in half with the knife double burger you guys wonder how this is gonna taste I'm a burger man much is like the wild game style nothing better than a juicy burger that's good always hungry what I have stuff for the night toasty big bag and a little bit of food do the genius know you didn't know what'd you bring like chicken breast I'm gonna put the body back on Olli dollar store thing yeah we got that a glow stick you go run around the woods with that yes miss girl just checking it out looks good completely in your bushes Thanks I don't know if that'll be useful for me just feel like I need to eat it whole here we go uh-huh I got some spalted maple and some other maple and some maple some more maple and some maple my happy Paul is there any patio soon isn't that the worst chair ever I was happy until laughs are you making it pop-tarts yeah had a fire before no maybe a red tennis before I find out [Music] he's like a cracker it's like good or bad whatever it's like eating a cracker you're stirring the movie night who are you watching man 3 oh you're watching kind of marvel nope we're making our way back through the series in order chronological order not really state yeah it's hot up here I'm used to it but I like it toasty get the window open there's no gaffed we got two cots one caught two carts and then Holden's gonna use a sleek map that'll work out I think we're gonna let the fire die out cuz it's only twelve Celsius you're gonna have to convert that in wrong but uh we're just gonna let that fire go out and it'll what's a it's 12 like even with all the windows open that's perfect temperature for me so Bobby without you happy with 12 what feel nice you peed right off the deck yeah cut my squirrel tail hanging up here just drying out it's what's the rain tonight did you guys watch the scroll episode it's a good one we built this tree stand out in the forest and got myself a squirrel so that's the tail I gotta take the vertebrae the last little bit of vertebrae out of the tail and then salt it and I'll be good to go it'll be decoration here I've got some hairs I cleaned out actually tanned it but I didn't want to bring it out here until everything was done because everything just kind of gets in the way and it gets dusty so tend to intend to decorate the cabin a lot more with various outdoorsy type things but that's one of them what's with everybody it's hot oh so weird it's like cuz the heat rises it's like 30 degrees like no joke you can see your breath look we've got her caught here I'm going to use a extra sleep map according and bring one she didn't figure she needed one but reminded her that I think we've always used the sleep mats on here you don't need them necessarily it's kind of like it's kind of like a hammock if there's nothing really hard in the inside would you read muddy book to call fever ever would be kid cabin fever that sounds appropriate good book you like how many books have you read in that series you're rereading them how many books in the series take it guess there's like twelve twelve books does it look like the pictures and kind of cartoony yeah maybe some mouse droppings up on the window they're hoping it's not no fire tonight will let it die out and we'll keep the maybe the downstairs windows open and that'll be fine and there's a circle window and then just over the edge there's the rest so I don't know what you guys think she would put a railing up [Music] particle chime you to go inside maybe get the fire started yeah it's freezing not raining right now alright kids how did everybody sleep someone moves around a lot so I'm on the floor yeah who's to score me make too much noise yeah make too much noise me yeah noise it's SuperDuper quiet in here with all the windows open so anytime we toss and turn on these even I hear all that but anyway it's not normal for camping for me quiet you yeah it's comfy it's a little tight with three people all the way across and there's not any space but I like ideal we'd have one caught this I won't caught that side and then a little bit of the space in the middle and then you could like kind of lay something down and hang out in the middle part what let's believe um we have to leave in about an hour Holden has dryland training which is all face hockey exercising no you're gonna maybe hang around for a little bit here there's always different projects to do I intended to get some access to water today over at the creek that entails cutting down a little bit of a pathway out here but I don't know with this rain that was it's all tall grass I really want to be messing around with tall grass out to that little creek but we're in perhaps to get the wilderness living challenge going and we need water like right now we don't have any water so I put stuff we're bringing it but there's a pretty good springfed creeks that runs there it's just can't even get to it because the grass is up over my head so I was gonna do that but I might not be able to Kevin's supposed to come down meet us here with some breakfast so let's see if that happens if not we'll send these kids off and I brought snacks to stuff I might just eat and maybe do a little quick tidy up while the kids had to take off they couldn't wait for Kevin any longer trying to decide what to do if I just sit and relax here should have brought my bow hunting stuff could it went back even this morning before sunrise but it's tough with the schedule try to keep the channel going and and be around for my son's hockey he's on the ice or has something almost every day except for four days in this month it's a pretty hectic schedule so I tried to get to his practices at the right after school my home time where I have to miss some of them but make sure he gets establish he's on the Rupp team this year so it's a it's a big commitment for him and it's a big steep learning curve for him it's gotta adjust and you know get back on schedule so he's got a lot to learn as far as hockey goes and getting along with people and his teammates and his coach and all that stuff so that he's gettin he's getting there he's making some headway I definitely need to have died around for all that kind of stuff so I don't want to don't want to take off and be too selfish what I what I want to do or need to do or want to do whatever yeah take it one a little bit at a time and chill out and it will make sure that you know he's getting all the things that he needs to be properly adjusted fit into society fit into his new group and yeah though I got a chance to have a little sit by myself I don't need to go to dryland training I'm on the ice as far as for the practices just helping out I've most proof tower stuff up here and just tilt all the COTS up on end we're gonna leave them there because Jeremy hopefully is coming out here to do Willis living challenge I'll leave the two cots here I'll leave my mat and my sleeping bag you don't have any intentions of doing anything else with it right now but I don't want mice I don't see any indication of mice there might have been a couple of turns over there but I was something with the windows open so I don't think there we didn't hear anything last night usually you know that's the first indication you got mice you got something crawling around and making a bunch of scratching and chewing a non noise this microwave we got from the RV tear down way way back season one of this series so that's gonna be a fixture here or we may upgrade we'll see if it works I we haven't even tried it but we'll run that off the generator time's running out for me as far as my schedule goes the Willis lemon challenge starts in a week from now so basically I have next week to get this cabin ready to go I don't think I'm gonna be there I'm not only gonna be where I want to be but we're gonna make it work no matter what cuz timing is always an issue Jeremy only has so much time to come up and that's the week he gave me so that's what we're gonna do it we've got lots of open season this deer and and raccoon and squirrel and just fishing whatever else we want to do so that'll be all open but Kevin didn't get him get me an egg sandwich I know you guys are hoping for the egg sandwich she didn't get me an egg sandwich so he owes me one I'm just gonna check the apex battery pack see how much juice is left and if I'm reading it correctly we have 36% so it's basically I got to get charged every day we only really used the lights that's about it we'd be watch the movie with the laptop and that's it so this is gonna get have to need it's gonna need continuous input
