The Lonely Scavenger

Welcome to my channel! I am currently building an Off-Grid Cabin deep in the woods. Every visit I continue to improve the cabin using things that are being thrown away. In fact the entire cabin is built from scrap wood, and my woodstove is also homemade. Keep in mind, I've gradually worked my way up to having a cabin. I started out exploring the woods as a child then building shelters with friends as a young adult. I continued my love for the outdoors with wilderness hikes and day shelters. Over those many years I learned about survival, fire building and knowing what to bring along. From day shelters I graduated to more permanent hot tents with diy woodstoves and overnighters. After my cabin was built I did many overnighters learning each time how to survive and be comfortable in extreme cold. Follow me on my adventures at the cabin. Overnighters, Extreme Cold, Heavy Snowfall and Rustic Cuisine.

A little progress on the dulcimer my uncle had started in 1982. He had completed the inside, which meant I could put the lid on and paint it.

This is a hammered dulcimer my uncle Roman had started in 1982. My aunt Lena gave it to me in 2011. I'm pretty handy but I doubt I could ever finish it. It's complicated as far as stringing it

Since the woodstove is going anyway, I've been drying my raspberry leaves for tea and poor man's tobacco to get me through the winter

I found a couple more of these uniquely shaped bottles to store my homemade wine and beer in. They will be sterilized thoroughly before use, don't worry

I found my thatching blade for my mower, but the plastic tines were all broken off, so I replaced them with thick zip ties. Good or bad idea?

We only harvest carrots as we need them, otherwise they stay in the ground till the snow comes
