5 Days Building A Wild West Winter Cabin (No Talking, DIY, ASMR)

Together we can bring the pioneer experience back to life. My chuck wagon and I are on a mission to off grid homestead Oklahoma the way it was done in 1883. With a good set of Old West tools and a little bushcraft knowhow I'll hopefully survive the coming winter.

IN THIS EPISODE: I finally enclose the cabin, I've been so excited for this day. For the two windows I put in place this episode they were originally white but I had some of the red paint I used on the wagons and I think they look pretty good in place with the red. I don't know how historically accurate red windows are but unlike western movies not everything was different shades of browns and blacks, they had color too.

The door I'm particularly proud of. I love the idea of the double doors because with the top door open I can get more air circulation and light while still keeping snakes out. Having a dark interior plays with the lighting on the camera so hopefully the added light helps. Also the double doors just looks amazing!

I ended up getting over 8 inches of rain over the next two days. Next episode will probably be me finally finishing the roof so stay tuned for that.

Please share this video with someone you think would appreciate it.

God bless,
Will
