The 7’ High Deer Castle, Finished! #19

What kind of tiny house can a dude build using only a chainsaw and chainsaw mill? What started out to be a deer blind in the last video turned out to be a full-on tiny wilderness cabin on stilts. And like everything at The Worm the build was so cheap it was virtually free.
   • Nearly Free Deer Cabin Build. #17  
As with all these Northern Michigan builds, no lumber was purchased. The boards were made (slowly) with a chainsaw mill from trees on the property where one crazed dude has lived in a tent since the beginning of the year.

This time the Castle gets windows, shelves, awnings, a bunk and even recycled carpet.
Is a project this big, built with a chainsaw still considered bush craft? Who knows...


Because I’ve gotten so many questions about the gear that I use on the channel, here are some of the most important pieces I use every day:
