    You make it look easy when you sum it all up in under 5 min. Lots of hard work went into that cabin. You should be very proud of all the accomplishments. Job well done.

    Thousands of men are now sitting back day dreaming about doing something like this, sadly only a few ever will. We are inherently wired to build a shelter, it’s why kids build forts to practice like puppy dogs fighting other pups...there is something almost spiritual about watching this man build his cabin all alone in the forest. Well done. Thanks for sharing

      My question is, should you be mad at one guy chopping down a few trees for a cabin, or should you be angry at the corporations behind mass deforestation across the globe? I think we all know the answer.
      Edit: a damn gorgeous cabin at that, this is great work

      @C W there is a difference between an environmentalist and a poser, an environmentalist knows that these are maple trees and by the location which is canada they know that its a fast growing and sometime invasive species. Its not wrong to build a cabin out of it, its what real men do, with the available resources, its sustainable. The people who are talking shit probably dont have proper education, and know nothing about the environment or the means of conservation. And you also dont get to generalize " environmentalist" because what you are saying isnt true.

    A quick comment to the people who downvoted due to tree slaughter: as long as the cabin doesn't burn down, all the embodied carbon will stay in the logs, and selectively cutting down trees will allow more vegetation to flourish in its place. As long as he's not clear-cutting the forest, this is a very sustainable means of construction.

      I used to think climate change didn't exist either. But eventually the more I dove into the science if it, the more irrefutable I found it and the flimsier the arguments against it became. I know the comments section on RUclips is not the place to convince anyone, but keep an open mind, research the other point of view, and you might surprise yourself.

Not only that, search for videos like this and there’s thousands of videos of diy stuff. You just need to know where to look and how to search. Don’t be so nostalgic when it hasn’t even changed much.

    It's very interesting coming back to this video after watching Shawn finally cover half of the roof building his new cabin. The construction methods are totally different and you can tell he's learned a lot over the years. What happened at the first cabin really sucked, but seeing the new one and the new property he's building it on I think it was for the best. The new cabin looks amazing so far and is massive in comparison!

Also if I remember correctly in a video he said his neighbors were also a bit rude and may have doxed his location.

    When I think to myself how far down humanity has sunk and then I see what you have done by yourself and what you have accomplished, and then to share intimate details of your life as you were building shows the kind of man you are and it inspires and tells me that humanity can and will survive when people remember what is most important in life, bless you for all you have done and for the mental therapy and words of wisdom, from a friend and admirer of your craftsmanship.

    Coming from tons of NZ hippie country life videos.This is the best country cabin making video and the must have constructing house skills.
    This is what we so called a COMFORTABLE AND SIMPLE COUNTRY LIFE but not that easy. I nearly forgot the most fundamental to burn the wood surface to deter termite damaging the cabin wood. A cabin by a person in fast moving. Actually it must take longer time to finish a cabin project.
    I give A+ for this American style cabin. HAHAHA A real stuff attract 1B ASAP............ STF.. . .........

    Hi Shawn , I have been watching the progress of your Log Cabin In The Forest since its beginning , I have to say that it's been much more than a cabin building lesson for me . From learning how to use natural materials harvested from the forest using absolutely no power tools as well as your Self Reflections at the ending of each video , I have learned much more about myself my dreams and goals that I've realized through your teachings are even at the age of 57 , still obtainable for me. Thank you Shawn. I do have to say although we have never physically met and we come from completely different lifestyles, I consider us friends . So I'll finish this long comment with two simple words . Thank you.

I agreed when you said about all these bad people criticizing you. You know, in Brazil we say: “ It’s easy pointing fingers when they are not on your place or under someone’s shoes!” Nobody pays your bills!

      @surfbouy 6 лет назад +27

      DarkClow 1983 1)I don't think the word genocide means what you think it means. 2) He plants new trees. 3) It's a demonstration, not a housing project. 4) In many instances using "modern materials" would consume far more natural resources than it would to build something with the resources at hand.
