From Snow to Seats: Building Firepit Chairs for Our Off-Grid Winter

Описание: This winter we realized something important — a firepit alone doesn’t create outdoor living.
Comfort does.
After building our firepit, we found ourselves sitting in the snow wondering why we hadn’t finished the system. So instead of buying chairs, we built them — because our goal isn’t to buy our way into a new life…
…it’s to build toward our new normal.
In this video we design and build custom firepit chairs for our homestead, using a prototype, jigs, and a batch-build approach that saved time and made the whole project family-friendly.
This project is part of our larger Outdoor Living build series, where we’re creating systems that make year-round outdoor life possible on our homestead.
If you enjoy homestead builds, DIY outdoor furniture, or practical off-grid living projects, you’re in the right place.
