2 Weeks Building A Western Cabin on the Plains

Описание: Step into the cowboy boots of a pioneer building his homestead. 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 winter.

IN THIS EPISODE: I finally complete the roof, I've been dreaming of this day for a long time. I chose to use plastic pond liner because it's rated to last 70 years. I don't think the cabin will last that long but it gives me peace of mind to know that the roof shouldn't require much maintenance. I really enjoyed filling the roof with sod, it was like a giant puzzle except you could force the pieces into place.

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

God bless,
Will
