INSIDE THE SHIPPING CONTAINER CABIN

This is a short video of my camp. This video like the camp is clearly a work in progress. Here you see how the inside of the Container Cabin is shaping up. This container was a refrigeration unit therefore it is insulated which will help to keep the inside warm during the dead of winter. It also stays cooler in summer!!!

A little advice get rid of the candles.. my wife and I lived 2 yrs off the land and learned alot by making mistakes , candles gie off a very toxic gas you cant smell that one reason alot are sented,,try this and you wil see what mean,, lite a candle with a match, let the flame get going good,, lite a nother match blow out candle and hold lit match about 2 in from smoke comming from candle ,, flame will jump back to candle becides its a open flame

@misfitt58 I think you are right! Problem is I have 4 or 5 cases of storm candles. Each case has about 160 packages of 8 candles. one Candle will burn for about 5 to six hours. I am sure over the course of two years I would dislike candles too. But as simple light before going to bed or during the time I am cooking its okay. Remember I keep the door open. I have the candles so I can't beat the price but would is nice are the new high tec lights. they are quiet and work well.

You've probably been asked this already, I didn't read all the comments... but how in the heck did you get that containter up there?  Helicopter?

[okanoganforest]

@jeffpicks It is of value to go back and read the comments if you are planning something like this. the answer is TRUCK! But he dumped my container about 200 yards from my site. My heavy equipment operator then picked up one end and slid it up the hill and into place. He got it so level that I have a puddle on my flat roof. My heavy equipment guy is really a quality guy all around. Keep one thing in mind, its all planning! Plan well and you will get it done!

Any condensation issues?..and how do you solve?

[okanoganforest]

@denverdog44 I have a funny story for you here. Only had condensation once. With the wood stove there is no problem but before I had it when I just got the Contianer and it was cold out I boiled a pot of water and before you could count to 10 it was raining inside the container. Once I got the wood stove set up there hasn't been a problem. Keep in mind that the area is dry and I almost always have a door open so there is lots of moving air.

Ladies, This is what men live like without your helping guidance. They sleep on barrels and hang frying pans and geological maps up like art. And they are perfectly happy! Heck, i'm drooling to live like this myself-away from the cheap plastic social climbing dogcrap they call "american dream".

[angurisloud]

How about a few small skylites that could be opened to get some air in there when it's nice...

[okanoganforest]

@SteenSpinal4LIFE follow your dream!! Its like climbing a mountain. the best way to do it is one step at a time. Keep it simple and save your resources. Be Frugal!!
