The Wild North River Cabin project is a self-built, off-grid log cabin constructed deep within a remote forest in the Canadian North.
The cabin is built in stages, beginning with log wall construction using traditional notching techniques, followed by a steep gable roof covered in metal sheeting, full thermal insulation, and a vapor-sealed cladding system for cold-weather efficiency. Inside, the space is arranged with a compact and open-plan layout: a kitchen and wood stove downstairs, and sleeping quarters upstairs accessed by a hand-built staircase. The porch is expanded to serve both as a weather buffer and utility zone, while the interior is completed with tongue-and-groove wood paneling, custom furniture, and carefully installed electrical and plumbing systems, including a water flushing system for sanitation.
In essence, it’s a model of self-reliant, low-tech, high-comfort wilderness living, rooted in knowledge of natural building, survival logistics, and rural architecture.
