  • Solo log cabin build without any music or words. From clearing the land and harvesting logs, to milling lumber on an Alaskan chainsaw mill for kitchen countertops. The cabin was water tight in 60 days, and I moved in right away. I used spruce logs that were still green due to the lack of time before winter set in. I lived on site during the entire build process staying in a hot tent.

    Great build, Love the pup! Hurt the heart to watch a sensational build showing your care and craft then to see you lose it to bureaucracy. You can find another claim to call home.

  • @martinavrdoljak6030

    Your did this yourself, alone. You can't do this without own alot of logic in your mind. I have highest level of respect to you, count on that. You showed us all how its possible, the amount of saving our time if ever wanna do this ourselves one day is atleast 70 %. Somebody in the comments wrote this vid is the best ever, I fully agree. You are a true surviver, and that my friend means you are a person of trust. I hope you could save most of cabin and just transport it somewhere else. You now have IKEA parts 😅

      Thanks Rich... it takes a little practice but it's easier than it looks. Real trick is to cut mainly with the tip of the saw and try to maintain an even swing always moving the saw back and forth

    Loved watching this video! I was glad to see that this was actually a large livable cabin, most videos are just a little shelter or maybe a vacation/hunting cabin.
    I would havee been interested in seeing if the loft upstair could have been turned into a useful space, even if just for the bed and some storage.
    Likewise, it would be cool if there was a way to mount a flat metal surface on top of the wood burning stove, if even only to have a pot of boiling water, or heat some things up without having to use any other power or gas. Boiling snow for a steady supply of water in the winter also wouldnt hurt, depending on what facilities and such you have already
