I am a woman in my 70s. I love watching you videos. I suffer from anxiety and watching you build is so calming! You are my therapist.☺️

I’ll never forget the Christmas of 88, waking up , making my way downstairs to the Christmas tree to see if Santa had left me my tow strap that year!! One of the most cherished memories I have!

@tobyroad

I was lucky enough to find 5/8" plywood from shipping pallets to build my entire cabin. I used architectural shingles as siding and it keeps the squirrels and mice out. I used the T 1-11 siding for the outhouse and the squirrels have absolutely chewed holes everywhere. Nothing beats a 2 person cabin in the back country. My wife refuses to go with me (too primitive) so i found an abandoned baby beagle pup last year who is more than happy to take her place at the cabin. He's even got his own recliner.

@jbrames86

It was unbelievably courteous of you to give up a huge amount of productivity for a day for the sake of remaining quiet for your neighbors to enjoy their hunts. Good on you.

My dad wrecked me. I spent so many hours watching him build stuff, I see a video like this, and frankly, it's better than any movie. It's fascinating, it has cliffhangers (like how is he going to _____? fill in the blank), and a satisfying end. Nothing I enjoy more. Thank you for all the work of filming (and editing) this entire basic build.I REALLY enjoyed the commentary. I love watching other channels, but often, they don't explain the basic stuff like you do, so when I'm missing information, I know it's coming. Thoroughly enjoyable! Stay Radical!

@RAMMAN16

Not only are you a great carpenter. But you are a very good narrator, storyteller content creator and you tube channel host.

@elainecollins9565

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

As a hunter myself I appreciate you taking into consideration that deer season was open, I don’t think hammering nails would effect deer 5-600 yards away but that’s gotta be one of the most considerate things I’ve heard in years, love the videos hope I can build my own little home some day in northern wisco, up, or minn!

Dave, I really can't thank you enough for these videos. A few years back we baught a 12x20 "Amish built" shed for my son and finished out the inside as a dry cabin (his intellectually disabled and can't live on his own, but understands the concept of growing up and moving out on account of his 3 siblings...this was a way to give him a sense of ownership and separation without risking a lack of supervision which he requires). This really sparked a desire in us to buy a substantial peice od land and make a family camp. Our family is split into 2 states on either side of the Appalachian range and so the plan is to build 7 small living structures and a "bath house" (water catchment shower/sauna/outhouse) and a large communal outdoor kitchen with covered roof. Some of our kids are looking at hard sided yurts, one brother is looking at permanent travel trailer shed with solar powered batteries for hookups, and the "teenager generation" is very excited to live in dug out structures and tree houses they build themselves. The newlyweds are excited about raising the grand children in the wilderness away from the trappings of modern amenities. You've given us great inspiration and really wonderful instruction and tips. 🙏💚

@lousypirate

I had a good chuckle when you mentioned guest cabin. I mentioned to my wife earlier this week that I'm having a hard time not starting the design for our cabin up in Paradise. She said we already have a cabin, and I commented that one is the guest and kids cabin.

@seaotter7927

Much respect for pausing the job for opening day. Not many people would be that thoughtful.

@sdf11fin

As a Michigan hunter, the fact that you respected public land hunters when you had every right to hammer on your own private land is a class act. Thank you sir

@lenellamaxwell6934

Thank you, Dave, for another compelling and soothing video. If I was young, I would be out there doing what you are doing, but I am now wheelchair-bound and can't go out of my home without an ambulance because I have no ramp for my wheelchair. So I truly do live vicariously by watching others do what I would love to do. I have always been a nature lover and up until about five years ago, I was always walking, taking hikes, and finding nature wherever I could find it. But this is my cross that I must bear, and it has brought me to a place where I can rest completely and peacefully in God, for He is good. 🙂

@bachtam9161

I read the entire Ryan’s https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.

@virginiamaness4597

Your voice is pleasant and comfortable to listen to. No manufactured drama. Im 76 yrs old and could watch these all day and i dont know whats happening half the time but i know it's going to work out. Thanks, dave. Keep doing you. ❤

@rosemountfarms2897

So much respect for your work. You and Brooke have the work ethic of our families belief. We so appreciate the time you spend to explain the method, reasons, and you show how much you care and love what you do. Its no wonder you are popular here on YouTube. No BS just common sense. Thank you Dave

@lchase7858

I can't remember the last time I watched a guy build a cabin in thr woods for an hour. I usually can't watch a video over six minutes. This has been so relaxing and engaging. It reminds me of my father, he was a carpenter. So many lessons, so many memories.
Thank you

@user-xh3lb1ov3t

I think the reason i like the idea of building projects like this is not just the finished cabin but to be able to go to the middle of a forest wirking with wood and trees and having a skillset like you have...thats inspirational

@LordRocco777

It’s so good to see you pray before eating, God bless you big guy. Can’t wait to start building these.

@cbdyna

This popped up my youtube and glad it did. As someone born, raised and worked all my life in a metro area, simple little cabin builds in the middle of nowhere is awesome. One day.....one day.
