All the things we need to survive and live life in a monetary society costs money. We’ve been accustomed to living life in a monetary society and everything has a price. It’s how people in remote areas of the world live yet today. They grew their own food in their garden from the seeds they brought with them to plant so they could feed their family. They hunted for food in the woods nearby. They made their own mortar to build a fireplace and chimney. They got water from the creek running across the land. They found a place and built a cabin out of the timber and rock they found on the land. Did it cost them $250k to build a home? No! It didn’t. It’s how the pioneers and settlers built their cabins. It’s how we all used to do things way back in the day. The main thing here is to do most if not all the labor possible yourself. You will save hundreds of thousands of dollars. You’re going to have to do your homework and have detailed plans. You’re going to have to maximize your budget and watch every single penny. To build such a large log cabin for $10k you’re going to have to really be frugal with your budget. You know the value of labor and tools and you use the right equipment for the job. You’re smart and creative and you aren’t afraid of hard work. And sure, it might be impossible for most people, but you’re not most people. Here’s how to build a 1000 square foot 2 bedroom 1 bath off grid cabin for only $10k, including the land.
