I love how literally every single one of his tools is the sharpest thing on the planet. Every chisel, saw, and drill is perfect. I don't know if he just meticulously sharpens everything or just doesn't use them super hard.
I literally haven't sharpened them once after doing it initially when I get them. If you make sure they are only hitting what they are intended to hit (wood) they'll last a full season no problem.
hahaha... you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this comment. If I could wear pajamas I would but the lack of utility just doesn't add up. So lonely slip-ons it is!
Your commitment to this channel is so admirable. You’re a huge inspiration man. Not only the hard physical labor you put into it but the video editing too?? You’re a beast man.
My four and six year old love watching your videos with me each time they come out. This has been my favorite. So many beautiful lessons for them about creating with their hands, a love for aesthetics, hard work, finding joy in the journey, making mistakes, laughing, challenging yourself etc. You really need someone to pick you up for a tv show. ❤️
WOW... thats an extremely nice compliment. Very much appreciate it when people enjoy the whole picture Im trying to paint! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I'd say option 2. It would add to the length of the trail because of the flow features. They are both amazing ideas, but I think you should start with option 2 and possibly add option 1 a little ways down the trail.
Mate. You have skills that literally noone your age has. And then you make them into such professional videos that are almost soothing to watch! I love watching your build videos.
I have seen the wooden pin technique used in buildings I once worked in. One was a old woolen mill on the Blackstone River, another, a commercial building in Worcester, Massachusetts. This woodworking technique put things together that last centuries of hard work. Your learning of these skills can provide not only a nice lifestyle but will be valuable in a village environment.
Seth, I am beyond impressed with you level of craftsman ship only using these hand tools. I must also say the quality of you video has improved so much in the past month!! Keep it up!
Dude, I'm so happy whenever you post a video. It's awesome to see you do stuff without powertools, it shows that the grindy, long process isn't a bad choice, but is in fact quite therapeutic and beautiful.
Love this hand tool expedition! I'd just like to make one slight safety suggestion if I may... When you're hewing with your hatchet, stand with your right leg back away from the stump that way if your hatchet glances of your work piece it'll be more likely to catch the stump and less likely to meet your leg. Peter Follansbee has some pretty good videos with Roy Underhill that talk about hewing safely. Can't wait to see the rest of this build!
The transition sounds to techy, I feel like the roll/pump track feature will give you that calm satisfaction of exitment and happiness after you hit the jump. Definitely the second option.
It's the fact that after that tough feature you just made in the vid I just feel right after that the pump track with a jump will make that alot more exciting
This video is awesome. It’s crazy to see all the tools and different ways to joist wood together. Blows my mind. This is going to be a great series to watch
I want to see the on off teeter totter come back farther down the trail. Last year i thought that would be cool but mess up the flow of the trail. Now this trail seems perfect for it!
So many of your building techniques are just genius!! However, since they lack the use of power tools they are truly a fight between work harder and work smarter!! I love all you videos and I have a lot of ideas for my 2 acres of pine forest in central Wisconsin. Now I just need the time to build.
I love how you are advancing trail building by going backwards with the tool technology. Having used some of these tools at various times I salute your discipline and commitment.
10:18 I know what you do in your videos is really hard work but brother you are living a dream life! You get to build features completely with handtools and get paid to do it on your own land!
I think a teeter totter drop would be a really cool feature! ( It probably wouldn't work in this case) but like when the teeter totter flattens out you would go off a drop
Dude that is the pinkest cedar I have ever seen. With your skills and the abundance of high quality wood, you could make a LOT of money building and selling furniture Your land is a gold mine but wood
oh yeah man, keep doing what you're doing, your amazing! who else here agrees? let's get our man to 1 mill! woo! (wow I definitely had too much caffeine this morning)
it's crazy how in some cases people get crazy in their houses because they are so small and in some cases the owner of the property suddenly finds an abandoned bridge
Such a sick build. Might be a good idea to cut off those exposed bits of steel rebar sticking out the concrete, could lead to a bad day if you fall on one. Could use a hacksaw if you want another challenge!! Keep up the good work x
This series has officially inspired me to make my own bike park. Progress is going great and I might make a vid on it later! Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!
LOVE the "ship shim" way of fastening the dowels -- beautiful craftsmanship, as always. also, i feel like you may or may not have a distinct preference in what comes next.... maybe not tho? lol
Lol, hand tools + concrete = see you tomorrow. Loving the hand tools and no mass produced fasteners. It's boring watch a bloke screw screws into timber so yay. Timber work ftw
I love the challenges you have to problem solve with only hand tools, however at a certain point I love to see you progress reasonably. Obviously we didn't have to watch you chisel holes in cement for 4 hours, but I don't want you to do that either. I think there are certain cases like this one that you can take some liberties with.
For my skill level, or rather the lack of it, I'd vote #2. BUT, option #1 would be great to see built. BTW, your handtool skills are getting great! Kudos on the added challenge!
I was going option 2, but then I think option 1 would be more interesting, loving the wood work and tools, now I'm going back to see your shoes that BCPOV mentioned 🤓
I love your willingness to indulge in boredom and monotony. They're genuinely underrated and underappreciated experiences.
Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.
Clever channel name 👍🏼
You should make a second option to just go over the abandon bridge if you don’t want to go over the things because it’s hard
I love how literally every single one of his tools is the sharpest thing on the planet. Every chisel, saw, and drill is perfect. I don't know if he just meticulously sharpens everything or just doesn't use them super hard.

@@BackyardTrailBuilds my guy got some titanium tools
@@milbruh6671 nah he got that full netherite shiit
He’s oj gang
Cedar is also the softest possible wood to work with. Oak would not make those tools look so sharp
I'm enjoying your choice of footwear for this project 😄
Great work Seth :)
Love the vids BCpov keep up the good work :D
hahaha... you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this comment. If I could wear pajamas I would but the lack of utility just doesn't add up. So lonely slip-ons it is!
@@BackyardTrailBuilds hi
“Carpenter casual” 😆
@@BCpov Do you prefer Santa Cruz or Specialized?
YES! I knew this kinda thing would come back!! Also why does this guy not have like 1 mil subs?
Its okay. All the cool kids have less than 1mil subs.
@@BackyardTrailBuilds saving this reply for when you hit 1 million for ya bud
Hasn’t hit 1 Million Yet! 🤘🔥
Honestly my guys has the best build videos, keep it up dude!
@@BackyardTrailBuilds true facts

I love the fact that you don’t use power tools and whatever you build comes out PERFECT you deserve 10millon subs!!

I was like Oh Yes Seth bikes hacks Uploaded then i saw the name ...EVEN BETTER YESSSS
Woah buddy... Seth & berm peak are the GOAT
@@fullsquish4863 yeah Seth is the GOAT

So cool to see the evolution of this channel so far! Keen to see how this trail turns out, hopefully lots more cool wooden features to come!!
Siiiccckkkk! Can’t wait for another season of trail builds!
Awesome hand building...very cool
Your videos are so awesome keep the good work up
So glad the subscriber trail is back for a second season. This will be one on of the top mtb channels this year. No doubt!!!
EPIC WORK DUDE
I'm so glad I get to be a part in one of these. I'm building a trail of my own and like the inspiration.
Content is up here
Get this guy to one mil he deserves it like content is up
The satisfaction you get from making everything by hand is what makes it so great. Very interesting and inspiring video once again.
I could just feel the amount of joy you had making this. Especially with the new added challenges. Cant wait to see whats next! 😁
Learning new building techniques definitely gets me aaaaalllll hyped up haha
This is so sick can’t wait for the rest of the trail!!
the clip of your puppers following you is my favorite
i remember when you were still at 10k last year when i first started watching you man. you’ve become an inspiration
Love this hand tool expedition! I'd just like to make one slight safety suggestion if I may...

And btw, your wood working skills are so sick, like I enjoyed learning about this, please do more vids like this.
That is some of the most amazing colored wood. Way to bring back some great skills and tools of old. And I vote option 1.
This video is awesome. It’s crazy to see all the tools and different ways to joist wood together. Blows my mind. This is going to be a great series to watch
I want to see the on off teeter totter come back farther down the trail. Last year i thought that would be cool but mess up the flow of the trail. Now this trail seems perfect for it!
You dog continues to look full of energy and joy
Ya ya Ya Seths building techniques are cool, but his dog can shred the trail like no other😜
So hype for the new "subscriber"/primal trail can't wait to see the final product.
ME TOO!
at first i was skeptical of "no metal" but after seeing all these joint designs this is awesome! i'm sold
The amount of patience involved in this...Insane. Hand drilling the concrete blocks... I thought you'd be there for years lol. Nice work!
Mad respect to doing it with your hands, that’s hard
That dog killing it
Man I love this guy he is funny great content and I am now building trails of my own at the age of 13 it’s helped me alot
Hey Seth pretty soon your going to have to rename your channel cavemanmtb
So many of your building techniques are just genius!! However, since they lack the use of power tools they are truly a fight between work harder and work smarter!! I love all you videos and I have a lot of ideas for my 2 acres of pine forest in central Wisconsin. Now I just need the time to build.

True craftsman, nice use of traditional wood working techniques and tools..
You have become a true craftsman. Love this channel.
10:18 I know what you do in your videos is really hard work but brother you are living a dream life! You get to build features completely with handtools and get paid to do it on your own land!
Until I fond your channel I honestly had no idea the Amish were into mountain biking too.
Awesome build, love the hand tools.
Wow all the hand work is fantastic
Yes very cool
*Flashes back to spending summers on my uncle's farm and making random stuff from sun up to sun down.*
Man......I miss the simplicity of those days.
Ooh primal bike park! Now we got the subscriber trail, and now the primal trail! Can’t wait to see it!
This is soooooo cool! Love the willingness to give some obscure tools and techniques a try, I've never even heard or seen any of these used before.
Can’t wait for the rest of the trail
I love these old tools and your dedication to working ecologically. Great channel, brilliant videos
I think a teeter totter drop would be a really cool feature! ( It probably wouldn't work in this case) but like when the teeter totter flattens out you would go off a drop
I like the new way your editing its awesome can't wait for the new trail to be finished
Same
Yeh Me Too
The craftsmanship is amazing.
Sick! Love those weird tools. Watching that blackthorn fall onto the concrete hurt my heart.
Dude, you're killing it with the editing lately
Dude that is the pinkest cedar I have ever seen. With your skills and the abundance of high quality wood, you could make a LOT of money building and selling furniture
Your land is a gold mine but wood
Great work! love how you are doing it without metal fasteners. its a cool way to spice up building!
That thing looks sooo sick!!
This is the first video of yours I've seen and you doing it all with hand tools made me subscribe.
That was such an incredible build. Those tools you used were amazing.
Mind blowing doing this without power or metal fasteners. Great work
Build the roll-in, but you have to make the clay dirt by weathering the rocks yourself. None of this easy-peazy "digging" stuff.
That’s a lot of work. Admirable for sure. Nice project.
oh yeah man, keep doing what you're doing, your amazing! who else here agrees? let's get our man to 1 mill! woo!
(wow I definitely had too much caffeine this morning)
it's crazy how in some cases people get crazy in their houses because they are so small and in some cases the owner of the property suddenly finds an abandoned bridge
I think the techy feature would be super cool to try and see you ride. It sounds like a super interesting obstacle
This guy is gunna be JACKED by the end of this
Let’s gooo he’s back
i love how your doing everything by hand to make a challange but im dying to use power tools and stuff on the trail
Let’s go he’s back building keep up the hard work dude
The tools for this trail will be almost as interesting as the trail itself. Great video!
5:17 I love your commentary about the tools you’re using! Fascinating! 🤘
you are absolutely killin it man, been here since the first sub trail and the content keeps getting better!
This is just amazing. What a load of work you put in. Congrats!
Such a sick build. Might be a good idea to cut off those exposed bits of steel rebar sticking out the concrete, could lead to a bad day if you fall on one. Could use a hacksaw if you want another challenge!! Keep up the good work x
I love how you use all hand tools and no power tools congrats to you
Glad to see your still building!! I love these videos!
I am all for option two, to calm down and refresh for the next feature!
This series has officially inspired me to make my own bike park. Progress is going great and I might make a vid on it later!
Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!
I'm voting for the trails-type start solely because I want to see you attempt it xD
When using wedges on the pins, champfor the holes on the outside for more grab especially if ur cutting them flush
You should make an edit of your dog on the trails
Dog shreds
This is such an awesome idea for a series. When I saw the post about the no power tools build series I was sooo stoked!
I love how the quality, filming and music choice really makes this video truely amazing!
LOVE the "ship shim" way of fastening the dowels -- beautiful craftsmanship, as always. also, i feel like you may or may not have a distinct preference in what comes next.... maybe not tho? lol
Next level homie! Super cool!
Lol, hand tools + concrete = see you tomorrow. Loving the hand tools and no mass produced fasteners. It's boring watch a bloke screw screws into timber so yay. Timber work ftw

used to love watching Roy Underhill on PBS, so this is awesome to see you using hand tools! Keep up the good work!
Those "little bitty winches" you were talking about are called come-alongs.
I missed these videos
For my skill level, or rather the lack of it, I'd vote #2. BUT, option #1 would be great to see built.
BTW, your handtool skills are getting great! Kudos on the added challenge!
I know after this video who to ask for help when i'm stuck with IKEA. Your woodworking skills is progressing so much this year, it is insane.
Once you’ve done this trail please make a proper steep dirt jump trail, I’d love to see more of the trid zz
Puttin in that work! Great job and great video Seth. Super cool.
YES! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR!
I like the way your dog speedruns it after u
I was going option 2, but then I think option 1 would be more interesting,
loving the wood work and tools, now I'm going back to see your shoes that BCPOV mentioned 🤓
