Hello friends, what do you think about this project?
Maravilloso sou una Señora de 62 años y aprecio muchísimo su gran trabajo
Amazing
Awesome amazing work 👏 ❤
I think the speed with which you release "30 days to something videos" implies you have 1500 days in a year :-).
Amazing !
A man that finds the motivation and strength to do something like this deserves huge amounts of resprect, great work! I was proud of myself for doing the laundry today..
A truly formidable task, sir! Good job
If I built that in 30 weeks I would brag about it for 30 months 😂
You did the laundry but did you fold the clothes? Lol
@morningstar577 I dont wanna talk about it..
생각만 가지고 있으면 어무 소용이 없습니다.
끈기와 노력을 투자한 사람만이 멋진 것을 소유할 수 있지요
My favourite thing about these videos is watching the craftsman step back after doing something and be happy with how it looks. It's nice to see you appreciate your own work. Well done
He must be rich to do this..... most of us gotta work and provide......fknmook
This man's imagination and his ability to bring it to life are remarkable. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the construction process without getting bored. It's truly wonderful!
I could watch a million hours worth of people constructing natural rock fireplaces, theres just something about it that is pleasing to me.
How many generations of our ancestors survived due to primitive stone hearths? Something printed deeply into our genetics.
So true. I was fascinating by it.
I can't wait to 2ait to be the next to be in your mouth. I seen the pictures, u shave down wet or wegna do it to u dry
I have a natural river rock fireplace in my home made from the river rock in my town. It is beautiful!
Internet- *CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!*
This guy is a true creator! His passion for what he does is so evident. The level of skill on display is incredible. I feel so fortunate to have witnessed this! I'm truly inspired, and this has been the best 29 minutes I've ever spent watching something on RUclips. Thank you!
Agree
I was a stone mason, Brilliant job sir!! I know how hard you worked doing all those jobs alone, huge respect, and well done. Lovely Job!
He did a great job and busted his butt. I just wish he'd have taken a day or 2 to lay some drainage in that hill while it was dug out. It's the difference between lasting 2-3 seasons and lasting indefinitely. Or until that hillside shifts anyway.
@@s-z515 Agreed, 100%
This looks like hard work. I love watching knowing I'm gaining a skill just by watching you.
Are you using cement or just mud?
Moss grows well in a wet shady place. I'm not certain that it will survive on the roof. Plants can be very fussy. Try grass seed instead.
I admire and respect your commitment to using hand tools. That combined with hard work and much imagination left you and us your viewers with a build all can enjoy and appreciate. I just purchase 2 homes in Beverly hills crafted mostly with wood, I renovated them, put them up for sell waiting to see what that will fetch me.
Thats great, looks like you into real estate, I have some homes sitting empty and I wish to use them for airbnb.
I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate and mortgage tech. I know it may sound boring, but sometimes, the most stable/boring businesses are the ones worth investing in. In January, I acquired properties in Malibu for $45 million, and the returns have far surpassed what I ever earned as a collector
I’m really impressed by how you grew your portfolio to $45M. I currently have a lump sum in the bank, but the interest rates aren’t great, so I’m considering moving it. I’d love to hear more about your cash flow strategy-how do you manage it?
Delegation has been the key. Although I was making good money, I realized I couldn't handle everything on my own. I work with a financial advisor (trader) who helps grow my liquid assets, and I reinvest the payouts into real estate and long-term ETFs, while I focus on mortgage technology.
That’s great and simple! Could you please share his/her with me, or perhaps provide his/her name so I can search for her online? Thanks!
Bro, you are a legend. You show that there are still people out there who can work with their bare hands and brain. And create something really stunning!
you should become one of them too!
I am not sure the builder in this video has RUclips and sees comments. I’d love to hear from these guys.
Just as we see you in the village, your craftsmanship is beyond reproach. What a master you are.
wonderful
Master 🤣🤣🤣
@@Dajolol Baiter.
@Dajolol you build alot of houses in the woods?
There was no village.
Klasse, gut erklärt. Vil Arbeit für ein haus aus Stein. Aber es hat sich gelohnt. super Video, danke dafür.
Such a cute house! Back in the day this was the standard, people building their own homes and each house always had a unique personality and charm to them because the people who built them poured a part of themselves into it. You can feel the craftmanship and love that went into building them. It's something you just don't see as often anymore.
Incredible Lesnoy. I loved that the materials and tools are very simple and practical and the end result is a well built and sustainable dwelling which anyone would be content to live in. Great to see someone using traditional methods.
Oh thank you very much I'm glad you liked this video have a good day
Tu as un indéniable talent 👌
What part of the United States are you working it? My wife and I are guessing western North Carolina/south Carolina, or north East like Vermont or New Hampshire. Any clues?! 28:48
@gshick
Is this in the US? I was guessing central or eastern Europe.
💙💛
Thanks!
This fellow is a creator! His love of what he does shows so completely. The skillset demonstrated is awesome. I am so lucky to have gotten to see this! I am inspired and this is the best 29 minutes of my time I have given to watching something on RUclips. Thank you!
Location is so rich in building materials. That choice for a spot was really crafty in itself. 👌
yeh but, yeh but ............. where's the bathroom ?? where do you take a shit ??
Where ever you want to
Just ask a bear
😊😊😊😊9r😊@@raymondo162
Huge respect for building this wonderful little home out of the simple materials surrounding this project.
What an amazing creation by this very hard working and multi-talented man.
I applaud you.
A gorgeous little house built away from the hustle and bustle of the cities!! It is said that the house built by you is the most welcoming and only in it you rest and feel the best!! Congratulations!!
As a craftsman and journeyman Carpenter with over 500 homes I’ve worked on, I can truly appreciate your work here.
That’s a lot of hard work. And beautiful craftsmanship… well done.
¿No te preguntaste como carpintero de dónde sacó las tablas tan bien cortadas y de esas dimensiones? / / Did you not wonder as a carpenter where he got the boards so well cut and of those dimensions?
@ Ummm… why would I need to wonder where he got them?
It’s obvious that he milled them. I’ve logged and milled my own materials for years.
It doesn’t take away from the build here. Can you not appreciate the work he has done, without nit picking and adding negativity?
This is a wonderful shelter for someone needing something strong for a while when first buying raw land. Gives a great home while developing the land into a working, functional homestead.
The background music to this video alone deserves a like/sub let alone the content! A truly remarkable build from this man. Kudos sir, Well done!
Beautiful work!! Well done. I'm also very impressed you kept your sweatshirt very clean, while working so hard with stone, dirt, clay and mud!
Et le même sweat pendant un mois. 😅
It would be nice seeing you enjoying this thing that you built also, like bringing some food, preparing it there, staying there for the weekend, that's some nice cozy shelter you have there sir
Помимо восхищения вашим мастерством, я также удовлетворен философией простой жизни. Жизнь измеряется не приобретением материальных "вещей", а тем, как мы используем нашу волю и наш разум. Всего наилучшего из Питтсбурга, США.
Разум без материализации ничто.
Absolutely floored with what you done as a craftsman , planner and with tenacity. I seriously love it to bits. How skilful and how beautiful a small home, with virtually all natural materials ! profound respect !
Ogromny szacunek dla Ciebie. Jesteś Bardzo zdolny i Bardzo utalentowany. Marzy mi się zbudowanie takiego domku.
😢 u nás by to nebolo tak jednoduché, stavať, len tak dom v hore😅🇸🇰
GREAT job ! You are a very hard worker .
That was the most enjoyable 30 minutes i've had for YEARS. What an amazing video, thank you!
An example of determination - craftsmanship -
Pride -
Plane words..
Wow Man
Absolutely awesome.
That doesn't really do it justice as well.
Salute to you sir!
? It will fall apart tomorrow.

Full respect for man building that hat and for cameraman. Myself I have built 5 houses but modern one. I have done 90 per cent of physical work and design. I know how hard job is. I love to have little house like this somewhere in forest far away from civilisations.
Should have been no nails
yeh but, yeh but ............. where's the bathroom ?? where do you take a shit ??
@@raymondo162 Tell me you've never been in the woods without telling me you've never been in the woods :D
Literally anywhere (away from the house that is)
Me too lol
Omg he is genius ❤
I have never been so mesmerized and stunned in my life watching a video buildout. Having natural resources like that = no excuse!
Petya!! Great to see you on your own working your bushcraft magic, as part of Lesnoy or as The Itinerant Master or in The Village. God Bless!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it.
This an amazing build. How many of us guys now dreaming of doing this
Compliment! Very good work, well thought out and clever. Built with simple means and bare hands. the house is beautiful, nice highlights, amazing!!!👍
I'm very glad you liked it. Have a nice day.
well besides the sawmill, screws, and delivery of stone - yes simple means and bare hands.
It seems much better to me to work hard and have something to show for it not just a ripped body from working out at a gym.
This video is very useful and interesting, looking forward to the next one.
great job, Lesnoy. It's amazing what a man can do, even in a short time, when he puts his mind to it.
Amazing what men can do when uninterrupted😀Much respect! Beautiful work and a structure that will be there for a long time.
Stunning craftsman, wish we will get the young to create a craftsman course building a mini Mountain Village. Get your skills and enjoy nature. Thank you so much for the Escape and your most genuine craftsmanship! Cheers....
People who can create and build like this fascinate me! They’re so cool!
It's really satisfying to watch it come to life. A simple, warm, dry roof over your head is underappreciated today it seems. Great work & truly inspiring!
This is amazing! I watched with my nine year old son! Every human should know how to do this! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤grewwwtefemef🎉😊😊
Best made Bushcraft I've seen on RUclips so far ! Really nice job ! Beautiful brother, just beautiful !
Obdivuji lidi, kteří dokážou postavit něco tak krásného. Moc vám fandím.

Ja tiež. Úplná nádhera, a viac-menej z lokálnych materiálov.
Получилось замечательное место, для съёмки сказочных историй !!!
👍 only thing I would edit is to keep some sections video no music and just the sounds of you sawing wood, stacking stones and crackling of fire was relaxing in it's own way. Thank you for sharing

You did a great job, keep it up!
Some say that he's still building to this day.
Kidding of course and it'd be okay if you did. Seems like a dream project for many who would want to attempt it. Fun to watch it come together so thanks for sharing.
Simple and straightforward techniques. Very impressive results. Beautiful! Thank you for the video.
Teşekkürler.
Teşekkür ederim dostum.
Reis ne yaptın yav 😂 çok sevdin herhalde yapıyı
Khalil Ibrahim bana parayla yardımcı olabilir.
Bro Minecraft looks dope nowadays
No, the 3rd pig built this instead of bricks.
Second time to watch this video. Excellent work on so many levels.. Would love to see you add a room to the side of the house. I always wonder why these survival structures are built with out room for a bed for two and a second room. Great detail, beautiful home. Exceptional building skills.
Worth watching this video. Those 30 days you spend was really Worth, because you produced such a gem for viewers.... 😊
Bravo verry nice!!! You are a strong!! I like this hause!!
o my gosh, so simple tools. Lesnoy is doing everything great. Good luck
Thank you, have a good day.
Bravo
Un om cu ambiție , și foarte
priceput
Din nimic ai făcut o casă
Încă odată bravo.👍
Mă bucur că ai lăsat o zi bună.
Si ce dotat e in mijlocul padurii..

Very impressive! No tools, good grief! Fun to watch and very informative. Good work ethic too!
Поздравляю с новым домом ребята. Здоровья успехов жизнь вавсиом всегда 💯💖🌄🌅

Спасибо большое мне приятно
Chłop się napracował serio... Szacuneczek ❤❤❤
La construccion del mejor refugio que e visto hasta ahora. Felicitaciones
Yo creo que también es el mejor que he visto nunca. Y tengo años… 😮
Awesome project Lesnoy! You have impressive skills. Thanks for sharing.
A man who can survive in the wilderness. Great Job, interesting❤
Video piacevole da guardare e una lode meritata all'autore della "casetta", che è un bell'esempio di vita avventurosa all'aperto.😊
Grazie mille, sono felice che tu l'abbia apprezzato.
👏monsieur travail de dingue avec un minimum de matériel. Merci pour se moment de découverte artisanale. 💪
This is beautiful work. You are truly gifted. Thank you for such a wonderful video.
That was a awesome build!
Glad to hear that.
Enjoyed your video. Educational. Not that I would ever build one. I am a 78 yr old woman in the USA. Keep up the good work.
Neanche una donna di 35 anni sarebbe in grado di costruire una casa in questa maniera. Ci vuole l'uomo
You can try something smaller of bushes and mud
Stay healthy grandma I'm afraind of my self I can live more than 70 now adays people die early
Masha Allah It's my dream house. A very beautiful video. I watched it from beginning to end and I never got bored.
🥰
You sir, are a master craftsman. It was a pleasure to see you work.
외국인들 집짓기 흥미롭게 시청하는데 이 동영상 집짓기가 가장 잘 지은 집같아요😊
We enjoy every video. The building, living, and animal husbandry skills are valuable & entertaining.
My husband likes the building the most.
Thank you very much, please pass on my regards to your husband.
This video was a gift that keeps on giving. My outmost respect ❤, would love to see this project after few years have passed

I admire and respect your commitment to using hand tools. That combined with hard work and much imagination left you and us your viewers with a build all can enjoy and appreciate. 👍👍
Super vidéo, très courageux et inventif, bravo à vous
Mais c'est de fausse vidéo, vous voyer 2 3 truc fair main mais je vous garenti que sans rien vous ne faites pas ça en 30 jours. C'est comme ceux qui créer de superbe piscine en forêt etc. tout est fait avec des machines, pas à la main
Very ambitious, very cool.
❤😊
Spitze Stein und Holz Bauweise, dass Haus ist Massiv und wird echten Schutz bieten, gefällt mir sehr gut. 🌟
Freut mich, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat.
only water from mountain will come in house when raining
Sie sind ein Genie ❤ herzlichen Glückwunsch ❤ und liebe .Grüße 🎉
Wow there are still men out there that aren't afraid of hard work, that is beautiful
This was awesome bud. As a framer/contractor, you guys that make these make me want to make one for myself. I just need some land first lol. Great work
Bravo sizi ayakta alkışlıyorum yaptınız bu dağ evine hayran kaldım 👏👏👏👏👏

Very relaxing. The house is very nice. I like it very much.

Čovjek napravi kucu od čisto prirodnog materijala i cetiri alatke svaka čast čovječe.
Nešto slično sam,kažem slično,nisam takav majstor,napravio kao dečko od 16g, u šumi,nekoliko godina sam tu provodio kad me iznerviraju,škola, ljudi, roditelji, ja sam i 2 ležaja napravio i 150,200 romana,uživanje
Dobar je svaka cast....jedino sto je dobio gotove daske sa cekulara al nema veze. .sve se uklapa u prirodu i teren....
At one time this was how you built a stone foundation for your house. In the 1800s there was usually a nearby stone quary producing finished limestone for foundations for the nicer homes. Our old farmhouse was built around 1858 and it was just a field stone foundation. The barn was the second one built in the "run" around 1864 and remains now the oldest barn still standing in the area (PA). Stone work like this is sort of a "lost art" but there were people back then who had the "knack" for it just like this guy does. Well done. When I was a kid in the early 70s my brother and I used to climb back into the hillsides where at the top of this hill was a natural spring with a nice flow out of it. It flowed down the slope of the hillside under a huge tree canopy of maples and oaks and elms. We would build little damns sequentially down the slope and top the flat stones off with huge sheets of green moss. It was glorious and it made for some great childhood memories.
Una opera d'arte complimenti
This is how my foundation on my 1870s home is. I removed a lot of the clay/mud and replaced with soft lime mortar to ensure it holds in place for at least another 50-100 years.
The remarkable stone walls of New England come to mind - pure, hands-on craftmanship.
I am really impressed with your house, it is small, convenient and wonderful. I am so lucky to watch this video, I am inspired and learn how to build a shelter. I will apply in my upcoming survival challenge. Thanks for the good video
My local council: the eaves are 2 inches too long, you'll have to demolish
AHAHAHAHAHA DUUUUDE I’M DEAD😂😂😂😂
I know, right. The civilized world kind of sucks.
My local council would put council tax on it 😂
Yeah the conservative NIMBY types suck like that
@@alexrogers777Correction. Usually those clueless types whom councils employ, are hopeless academics, who passed some vague exams but know absolutely nothing which is of any use to anyone !!
Señor que bonita cabaña y los muebles qué hizo están hermosos gracias por compartir su video
Gracias por revisar mi trabajo.
This man's got what it takes: Energy, motivation, ingenuity. Bravo.
C'est une merveille cette petite maison. Un grand bravo à son constructeur !
Please use a thumbnail with the actual structure
Please frig off and build your own
Yeah, I don't understand why he thinks using an AI picture is a good idea... The actual structure is still cool to see, so just use it on the thumbnail :)
No doubt. Pretty good way to make your potential viewers distrust what content you put out. It doesn't take much for us to just go elsewhere. Plus it takes away from the actual work, which is good enough to get views on its own!
You are right and I was just wondering if I did click on the right video.
Also, tell us how you got the extra material out there... And where it was bought or milled...
Какой рукастый мужчина! 🎉здоровья его рукам
Спасибо огромное
You are a really great builder. I think this is the best content I've seen from other RUclipsrs who build similar shelters.
Thank you, I'm very glad you liked my work.
ты просто монстр строительства бро!!!!! кайфанул от твоей проделанной работы!
A construction craft work that was once possessed by all simple, poor people living in the countryside and which today has been forgotten by so many.... Congratulations, sir, by using your hands in this inventive and creative way you have proved your mind to be a hundred times more functional and useful to yourself and to others!
Construction is in our genes…pyramids, colosseums, cathedrals….even caddisfly larvae can construct elaborate casings!
This is well constructed, but given groundwater is flowing out of the embankment, I hope the contours of the site were previously scouted for runoff. I am pretty certain the gentleman has taken into account numerous soil compaction considerations.
And lace curtains, his great grandmother would be smiling! Kudos.
Very well constructed house! You will be just fine if SHTF! I watch many of your videos & get lots of ideas & inspiration from you.
Szívből Gratulálok. Nagyon ügyes vagy. Isten segítsen egy életen át. Vigyázz magadra. ❤❤🙏🙏🇭🇺🇭🇺🙏🙏❤❤
Your skills are unmatched!!!
Thank you very much
What an incredible build. What an incredible video of the work. What an incredible work of art. Nothing short of overall incredible!
