This Guy Built an Entire Cabin In The Woods And It Cost Next to Nothing

Building a cabin in the woods can be a major undertaking, especially when you’re trying to stick to a severely limited budget like Mike was. Using repurposed pallet wood (and a mixture of power tools and hand tools) helped him assemble one impressive shack.

 But you don’t have to take our word for it…

The cabin doesn’t have electricity or even solar panels. But it does have other comforts of a home, like shelving and even a small bookcase. Given how cozy the place looks, it undoubtedly makes it tough for Mike to want to rejoin the real world.

He’s Into Wild Things

Followers of the YouTube channel “TA Fishing” know that Mike is all about experiencing the wild. He takes hiking trips and goes camping solo overnight.

And now he’s building something spectacular…

He Was Stacking Material

Mike and his dad were stacking up a bunch of wooden pallets in the yard. Then they took one pallet to their garage and started taking it apart. But what were they trying to do?

They Were on a Mission

They drilled all day, which might have driven their neighbors crazy. But they were on the ultimate DIY mission. And to see their project through, they had to take the pallets apart.

They Tore Them Apart

The father/son duo used drills to remove each plank. Then they used their hammers to remove the nails, which they’d need later. Once they had enough material, they wrapped the wooden planks with rope and carried them out.
