The fact that you only used hand tools and worked alone is enough to amaze everyone! Thank you for planting more trees everyone should try to give back what they use😊
Man, what a pain it must've been to set up his camera every time he did something. This cabin probably took twice as long because he filmed it. Glad he did, I sure did enjoy watching it.
this dude doesn't just build a cabin, he becomes physically buffer throughout the videos, he started off as a Kid, but ended up as a Man. mad respect !!!!
I was thinking the same thing. That house will be there long long after those trees are taller than the ones he cut down, too. Sustainability has many roots in longevity.
Erik it has been beyond a pleasure to watch you build a dream home for decades perhaps centuries in the future , in america that cabin would cost at least a quarter million dollars ,perhaps a half million I hope it brings you the happiness you deserve . PS I have watched many cabins get built yours will be by far the best.
For real, though. I have zero intention of ever doing this but feel like I shouldn't miss any vital steps. Several times I've already said, "wow" out loud and I'm only about 25 minutes in.
This was amazing. It was really great to see you grow along with the project. Your commitment to honoring the old ways is something all of us, old and young, can gain inspiration from. Great work.
the most impressive part was how he was actually able to cut any wood considering how lightly he hit everything. No power in anything he did, actually seemed lazy even in the way he walked

I am proud of you son. A good home starts with a good foundation. You know just what to do. You may have watched your grandpa do this, because it is instilled within you. God has blessed you son with this skill. Thank God for it because the wood your using; came from God. I like it and it is not finished yet.
Sometimes we hear a call from nature. When I was 18 years old I ventured out alone with only a backpack full of simple hand tools to actualize my dream. Build my own traditional off grid log cabin by hand from the materials of the Swedish forest. Just like my forefathers did. Please share this video with someone who would enjoying it after 2020. edit: Tractor is a Ferguson TE20 from 1946, they were wildly used to move timber. In 1950 the first chainsaws came to Sweden but they were too big and heavy to be practical. I didn't want to take down every closest tree. So by using the tractor I could haul a few trees from further away, about 150 meters. I would have loved to use a horse but don't have one. yet.. I still had to drag most logs by hand because of the terrain. My business contact: erik@delkatalents.com Instagram: @erikgrankvist_
Erik, I see that you're into buckskin clothing and the like. Did you have inspirations from books, films, or history, as well as from your grandfather?
Where’s the rest of your build? The rest of your life in and around your cabin once it’s finished? (We all want to see more and have to be patient I guess!!)
I really liked the "appreciate nature" segment, it's always heart warming when people can respect the resources provided by our surroundings and give back a little for things we take advantage of
I can't imagine doing this. But to top it all off this guy doesn't speak the whole time. You get me alone in the woods for 10 minutes and I'll start singing and talking to myself, much less a whole year.
Your work is admirable, solid, from the soul. Slow and steady ALWAYS wins the race, you proved that beyond a doubt. Your work is incredible, Erik, I admire you.
Even more so when you remember he could return to modern civilisation anytime. He has to do this knowing a life of relative luxury in only a drive or walk away
@@MagikarpMan Idk man he's got a lot of different clothes, a trailer full of gravel, huge IBC tote of fresh water, and the dog shows up looking like it's been at the groomer. I have a feeling he made some trips home
Still in the process of watching this but mad respect to you for doing this solo and in the way that you have done this. Even deeper respect for replanting the tree saplings.

@@cold_gold2408 Are you just stupid or? He literally pointed out that the guy is only a kid and 20 years old, 18 if you read the description. He didn't insult him or anything, more like pointing out that he did this at a very young age.
Dear Erik, I have been watching your advetures in renewing the old ways to make home and hearth. Also I appreciate when you share the animals around you and when you bathe in icey cold water! That is impressive. It is like wstching a wood sprite living in a fantasy forest! I enjoy it so much! I used to do such work in my early adultohood and watching you brings the joy of self reliance and the benefit of solitude back. I had a major assault on my body in a simple surgery gone horribly wrong with flesh eatig bacteria. My background of being hard driving is the only way I survived. I was not expected to live two weeks and it has been since 2005. I almost feel I can enjoy the feeling of lying back on the animal skin you use to watch the night fall. Your treks trough the snow on your skis with your unexpectedly cute and small companion dog reminds me of something I loved from childhood. I have no idea if in your sphere of knowledge you would know this, but it is an annual holiday classic most American children and adults enjoy. It is the stop action puppetry of Rankin And Bass's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. At one point the group leaving "Santa's village to find their own way in the world" are met with a prospector looking for gold and sliver in the north. He has a dog team made up of a poodle, a few dogs like yours and even smaller ones like chijuajuas! It's the funniest thing to see and you sweet little red doggie trotting along at your overland skiing looked exactly like Yukon Cornelias's dog team! Thank you for hte joy of relase in watching you respect and enjoy nature while making responsible use of its bounty to live on the land. I hiope you can realize how uplifting this program you created is for so many people. Thank you for your drive, and ambition and for sharing it with the world. I hope you are able to gain some financial support with your ineraction on You Tube. You most certainly deserve it! God bless you and the family woh raised you to make such bold steps into self sufficiency. Your admiring You Tube friend, Lisa Chieco
Thought about that too. It’s not a very uncommon or strange name in Sweden. But here it connects especially well to our history, and is very appropriate.
It's the calming sound and meditative way in which he builds. Really NATURE is the therapy, which is why he was called out there. You just got a 2nd hand taste of the peacefulness of the forest & the outdoors. Now try going out into nature and feel it 1st hand.
@Wessel den Hamer yeah it's pretty crazy. You just hear the wind and birds, and then intermittent axe sounds, and him scraping the bark off. It somehow made a perfect video pretty much.

This takes some serious balls. Not just the incredible amount of hard labor he put in, but also the mental commitment to being alone and committing to finishing the work all by yourself. Not mention taking the time to set up cameras and film it all. Dude is a badass!!
Yeah, even if you're doing it the traditional way usually you're doing it with your family/with friends. Doing it alone is even more effort than just "doing it the way the forefathers did" and it's amazing.

Was anyone else yelling “Eye Protection” and wishing he had goggles?It’s kind of funny but my daughter just started playing “The Forest” yesterday and I’ve been watching. We had a discussion about how hard building a cabin and hauling rocks would be in real life and how my mom grew up in a log house in northern Wisconsin. My grandpa worked in a pulp mill for a dollar a day. Then I stumble across this guy today. This young man is amazing. I was so afraid he’d get hurt.
common sense prevails in these situations honestly. You can see from his use of the axe he's familiar with it, and he's positioning his body in a way to avoid the chips it creates
Ahahahhaa nice. The forest is an awesome game man! This year the sons of the forest will come out! If shes a good girl you definitely need to get it for her!

Sorry but YOU LIVE IN SWEDEN one of the NOT POOR COUNTRIES why would you even build something like that. its nice to know you can do it and all but its such a waste of a good tree. My point is their is a reason people do not live in log cabins anymore. Its a complete waste of a tree. Im glad you have not lost the skill but it does not mean you actually do this. Keep Sweden beautiful move to the city keep out of the forrest!
@@My2CentsYall Almost half the families in Scandinavia owns or have access to a log cabin. . It's most likely his Grandfather who owns the trees so he can do what he wants with them. In Norway where i live you can cut down every tree you own but you must plant new ones.

@@Deadman7782 u only have to plant new ones if the area is regulated for it ;-) u cant plant new trees where ur home is being built, right? :-P
Video games are a waste of time even when its fun and i speak from experience. I have wasted multiple 1000 of hours on this senseless bullshit and i never get that time back. Im a music producer but in the time when i started making music i often played videogames instead. When i should have learned for school i played cs go and got drop out from school. You stay dumb when you play a video game you maybe learn some technics on how to get better at the game you play but thats mostly all at least from my side. Be aware that video games causes in your brain Dopamin distribution. When for example you kill somebody in a game your Dopamin Level gets increased. You get slightly happy when you reach something in videogame and thats bad for you on long term because reaching something in a video game is nothing compared to reaching something in the real life. Simply explained: When you play a video game you get happy. When you do something what is worth it, when you reach something good in your life you get happy like working on your dream, doing sports etc. But now that you have the video games you get happy for no worthwhile reason and the real life tasks seem boring now because you can get the Dopamin/Happiness much quicker by sitting in front of a screen instead of doing something usefull. You can learn about Dopamin Detox if you want to awaken your energy. And the another problems is that if you play videogames at night the screenlight keeps you awaken and and you go later sleeping so you sleep less when the alarm clock is ringing. That means that you go tired through the day with less energy for the real life tasks so you reach less then you could. Lets say you play 4 hours a day for 4 years noe that would be 5840 hours you have wasted. Im sure you played even longer than for 4 years. And now because of the quarantine what do you think how many people play now endless more hours? Dont you think about what you could have reached in all that years when you instead of sitting in front of screen playing games you would have worked on reaching your main dreams? Do you want to make money or do you want to sit infront of a screen? I know its fun playing with friends etc. but always ask yourself what you get from playing a video game and then evaluate if its worth it wasting the full potential of your life. And even if you dont wanna admit it, deep in your heart.. you know its true ;)

Right
I am proud of you son. A good home starts with a good foundation. You know just what to do. You may have watched your grandpa do this, because it is instilled within you. God has blessed you son with this skill. Thank God for it because the wood your using; came from God. I like it and it is not finished yet.

Well mother it seems I have no more use for this home, i shall go build a new one

Even the time spent on editing is impressive
The next video: One year alone in my log cabin, editing the video.
Sometimes we hear a call from nature. When I was 18 years old I ventured out alone with only a backpack full of simple hand tools to actualize my dream. Build my own traditional off grid log cabin by hand from the materials of the Swedish forest.
Just like my forefathers did.
Please share this video with someone who would enjoying it after 2020.
edit: Tractor is a Ferguson TE20 from 1946, they were wildly used to move timber. In 1950 the first chainsaws came to Sweden but they were too big and heavy to be practical. I didn't want to take down every closest tree. So by using the tractor I could haul a few trees from further away, about 150 meters. I would have loved to use a horse but don't have one. yet..
I still had to drag most logs by hand because of the terrain.

How do you in a young age have the knowledge to build a house? How do you know what to do?
I'm very impressed 👏👍🙂
Erik, I see that you're into buckskin clothing and the like. Did you have inspirations from books, films, or history, as well as from your grandfather?
Where’s the rest of your build? The rest of your life in and around your cabin once it’s finished? (We all want to see more and have to be patient I guess!!)
Erik my brother sent me this to watch. It is a great video. Your father and grand-father have to be very proud.
Great video, felt relaxing to watch

You are required by law to replant trees, so good citizenship of him
Dear Erik, I have been watching your advetures in renewing the old ways to make home and hearth. Also I appreciate when you share the animals around you and when you bathe in icey cold water! That is impressive. It is like wstching a wood sprite living in a fantasy forest! I enjoy it so much! I used to do such work in my early adultohood and watching you brings the joy of self reliance and the benefit of solitude back. I had a major assault on my body in a simple surgery gone horribly wrong with flesh eatig bacteria. My background of being hard driving is the only way I survived. I was not expected to live two weeks and it has been since 2005. I almost feel I can enjoy the feeling of lying back on the animal skin you use to watch the night fall. Your treks trough the snow on your skis with your unexpectedly cute and small companion dog reminds me of something I loved from childhood. I have no idea if in your sphere of knowledge you would know this, but it is an annual holiday classic most American children and adults enjoy. It is the stop action puppetry of Rankin And Bass's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. At one point the group leaving "Santa's village to find their own way in the world" are met with a prospector looking for gold and sliver in the north. He has a dog team made up of a poodle, a few dogs like yours and even smaller ones like chijuajuas! It's the funniest thing to see and you sweet little red doggie trotting along at your overland skiing looked exactly like Yukon Cornelias's dog team! Thank you for hte joy of relase in watching you respect and enjoy nature while making responsible use of its bounty to live on the land. I hiope you can realize how uplifting this program you created is for so many people. Thank you for your drive, and ambition and for sharing it with the world. I hope you are able to gain some financial support with your ineraction on You Tube. You most certainly deserve it! God bless you and the family woh raised you to make such bold steps into self sufficiency. Your admiring You Tube friend, Lisa Chieco
This man’s patience and dedication is equivalent to a man who builds a cabin in the woods by himself.

@@vigiliafinal woooooosh
Also this guy's last name in swedish literally means "spruce twig" quite a fitting name if you ask me.
It sure is 🙂🇸🇪👍
Thought about that too. It’s not a very uncommon or strange name in Sweden. But here it connects especially well to our history, and is very appropriate.
That ain't bad. My last name in swedish is "balls" or "scrotum" lol. A drunk Swede at the brewery got a kick out of that when we were introduced.
@@michaelpung4121 😂😂😂
Idk why but this video is some kind of therapy.
EXACTLY
It's the calming sound and meditative way in which he builds. Really NATURE is the therapy, which is why he was called out there. You just got a 2nd hand taste of the peacefulness of the forest & the outdoors. Now try going out into nature and feel it 1st hand.
@Wessel den Hamer yeah it's pretty crazy. You just hear the wind and birds, and then intermittent axe sounds, and him scraping the bark off. It somehow made a perfect video pretty much.
Vi el video hasta el final...no tan solo eres un carpintero...eres cazador, forjador, betonero, constructor, pezcador, de seguro que eres soldador y facilmente podrias sobrevivir con lo que te provea la naturalesa.
Eres expectacular, eres mi nuevo GURU !!
И мой тоже образец, хоть мне 64 года.
This takes some serious balls. Not just the incredible amount of hard labor he put in, but also the mental commitment to being alone and committing to finishing the work all by yourself.
Not mention taking the time to set up cameras and film it all.
Dude is a badass!!
i once did this with my friends for a month and it way amazing because we had company i couldnt do it alone tho
Yeah, even if you're doing it the traditional way usually you're doing it with your family/with friends. Doing it alone is even more effort than just "doing it the way the forefathers did" and it's amazing.
This guy at work on weekdays: "I'm building a cabin."

Was anyone else yelling “Eye Protection” and wishing he had goggles?It’s kind of funny but my daughter just started playing “The Forest” yesterday and I’ve been watching. We had a discussion about how hard building a cabin and hauling rocks would be in real life and how my mom grew up in a log house in northern Wisconsin. My grandpa worked in a pulp mill for a dollar a day. Then I stumble across this guy today. This young man is amazing. I was so afraid he’d get hurt.
common sense prevails in these situations honestly. You can see from his use of the axe he's familiar with it, and he's positioning his body in a way to avoid the chips it creates
Ahahahhaa nice. The forest is an awesome game man! This year the sons of the forest will come out! If shes a good girl you definitely need to get it for her!

Sorry but YOU LIVE IN SWEDEN one of the NOT POOR COUNTRIES why would you even build something like that. its nice to know you can do it and all but its such a waste of a good tree. My point is their is a reason people do not live in log cabins anymore. Its a complete waste of a tree. Im glad you have not lost the skill but it does not mean you actually do this.

@@My2CentsYall Almost half the families in Scandinavia owns or have access to a log cabin. . It's most likely his Grandfather who owns the trees so he can do what he wants with them. In Norway where i live you can cut down every tree you own but you must plant new ones.

Video games are a waste of time even when its fun and i speak from experience. I have wasted multiple 1000 of hours on this senseless bullshit and i never get that time back. Im a music producer but in the time when i started making music i often played videogames instead. When i should have learned for school i played cs go and got drop out from school. You stay dumb when you play a video game you maybe learn some technics on how to get better at the game you play but thats mostly all at least from my side.
Be aware that video games causes in your brain Dopamin distribution. When for example you kill somebody in a game your Dopamin Level gets increased. You get slightly happy when you reach something in videogame and thats bad for you on long term because reaching something in a video game is nothing compared to reaching something in the real life.
Simply explained: When you play a video game you get happy.
When you do something what is worth it, when you reach something good in your life you get happy like working on your dream, doing sports etc.
But now that you have the video games you get happy for no worthwhile reason and the real life tasks seem boring now because you can get the Dopamin/Happiness much quicker by sitting in front of a screen instead of doing something usefull.
You can learn about Dopamin Detox if you want to awaken your energy.
And the another problems is that if you play videogames at night the screenlight keeps you awaken and and you go later sleeping so you sleep less when the alarm clock is ringing.
That means that you go tired through the day with less energy for the real life tasks so you reach less then you could.
Lets say you play 4 hours a day for 4 years noe that would be 5840 hours you have wasted. Im sure you played even longer than for 4 years. And now because of the quarantine what do you think how many people play now endless more hours?
Dont you think about what you could have reached in all that years when you instead of sitting in front of screen playing games you would have worked on reaching your main dreams?
Do you want to make money or do you want to sit infront of a screen?
I know its fun playing with friends etc. but always ask yourself what you get from playing a video game and then evaluate if its worth it wasting the full potential of your life.
And even if you dont wanna admit it, deep in your heart.. you know its true ;)
