I'm positively surprised someone in this site of all things would embark on this project and post it here. Awesome and good luck. Are you gonna play games in your new cabin when it's done? I can only imagine playing card games on a nice, cold night in the forest while the fireplace is going inside a cabin. Must truly be a wonderful experience.

Saved to watch later! Sounds like a fun project, and sounds like it'll be relaxing to witness! Thank you for sharing!

Watched when I got home. The subtle humor was a nice touch, and I'm glad the saws weren't as loud as I thought they would be. Also, one of our two cats enjoyed watching it, too!

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Best of luck, it looks like a great endeavour!
Out of sheer curiosity: Do you own this piece of land or are you going the "rogue route"? :P
Looking forward to watching that hut take (even more) shape! Happy for you, this certainly must be fulfilling. :)

I am pretty confident you will be able to do so. You seem to have a plan and most of all, you are enjoying what you are doing. That means you will do it thoroughly and will also see it through. :)
Plus, working with your hands brings a lot of satisfaction, especially if you can see the results right away. And with a project like that, this is certainly the case. I certainly enjoyed the occasions when I could do something like that (on a smaller scale) and watch it grow until it was finished. Lots of joy and pride, even in the many years after. It is - after all - an expression of you and your work and effort. :)

Honestly, I don't click on many youtube recommendations, but today I did and so far I'm really enjoying your video.
Did you feed the shovel through the bottom of pack somehow?
Edit: Just finished. Very relaxing to watch. I look forward to the next part

Thanks for sharing and best of luck with this awesome endeavor! I look forward to following your progress. I hope you have a nice cozy space set up before winter sets in.
Were channels like My Self Reliance part of your inspiration for this project? Your close-up shot of dinner reminded me of that channel.
Another great one that I used to follow is Jamie Mantzel. His building methods and philosophy are very unusual but he's crazy talented and incredibly tenacious.

survival and crafting games look more realistic now, the graphics and texture are top-notch.
jk, really enjoyed the video thank you!

great video, i subscribed :D
what is the reasoning behind putting moss between the logs?
i don't know much about this, but i assumed that the moss would speed up moulding.

Hey, what base do you use for your logs? I'm personally partial to 2, but e and 10 are obviously valid and popular options too

Wow, that's nice! Wish you luck in this enterprise!
A couple of questions, if you don't mind:
- How much time does it take to setup cameras/lights compared to the work itself?
- Don't you afraid to use live trees as corner pillars? They'll eventually grow up and ruin the walls.

I've always (well, during last 15 years at least) wanted to have a wooden lodge somewhere in the mountains near where I live, but here you can't build new ones, and the few existing ones that are on sale are so expensive that I can't even imagine buying one before my own home!
I'd love to invite friends, light up the kitchen stove, cook a polenta and eat it with cheese and salame, then stay up into the early hours playing cards and drinking wine! Or simply to stay there during my days off, without people around, with my phone turned off, going out gathering wood and picking up mushrooms.
Congratulations on your project and good luck!

That was a fun watch, thanks.
If you stop posting your progress, I'll assume your cooking drew the attention of a bear. I hope you're sleeping in a tree for safety!

What is likely in the future.
1. black spots on the timbers/ keep iron dust away from the log house/ do not keep chainsaws indoors (iron oxidation, not mold)
2. rotting in areas that are prone to rain (replace corroded areas frequently, and if you are tired, have a BBQ in the log house).
3. not eating Amanita muscaria (you regret that in the future you should have stopped at the size of the tip of your pinky finger).
It is more fun not to know the future.😉
Let's build a hideout so that the earthlings won't be able to find it.

So awesome. Love seeing people create and build things, especially of the outdoors variety. You put me into the wilderness, I'd probably die.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, no, no. Clearly you hiked for days through the wilderness, fending off mountain lions until you found the perfect secluded spot. There's an a lake nearby filled with fish. You get experience points and improvement in skill, and the fish you can reel in are larger than before.

Glad to see your progress! I wonder what is your occupation since you're not only capable of cabin building but your video directing/editing skills are also quite good.
