I am so stoked to see someone else my age who values the hard work and craftsmanship of building something from nothing, all without power tools. I also just graduated and am looking for land in Alaska to move to and build my own log cabin. I watched through all of your videos in search of the best way to move larger logs as i will be remote without power, to see that all it takes is some elbow grease. Maybe some well placed snatch blocks would make it a little easier. Super admirable work man!

Wow those woods are a death trap. you keep getting hung up & tripping over all the stuff on the ground, clearing it out would take some time in the begining however the efficiency & time gained not to mention accidents prevented will be PRICELESS. Try it.

And p. s. this is truly back building work as muscles are building. Not back braking work even when I commit to my home at age 55. I will build and rebuild my muscle. Thankyou Eric, will definitely sleep well. so amazing!

Laddie buck, You did a fine job, should you do something like this again, and do it with only hand tools, do you self a favor and learn about some primitive winch's they will save your back and not bust your nuts

First off nice job, now for the bad news. Would have been easier and faster to use some rope and pulleys to drag logs out. Keep up the good work and remember work smarter not harder and Deeds not words

And remember, no windows on the north side of the cabin! Old tradition. And door opening to the vest or south if possible. That is the way to utilise daylight and snow melting easier on front side then.

Son, no one can ever accuse you of being lazy. Well they can but if they do then they do not know what there talking about. I wish a lot more kids had your will power and work ethic.

Erik; I greatly admire your labour and ingenuity in moving the lumber for your cabin. I am interested to know what the trees are which you have felled and prepared for the building.

Hej Erik, I love you doing this huge amount of work. Watching you for hours. But please don't start big smokey fires releasing CO2 again, just throw the rests among the trees.

I like what you're doing, but you're going to have a hernia by the time you're 25. I built full scribe log homes for a bit, I really enjoyed working with the logs.

Wow - getting the logs to the camp seems to be the physically hardest part of the whole thing.
Fortunately for you - logs are not square.

I wonder why sometimes you strip the logs from the bottom up and sometimes you work from the top down? Enjoy this very much.
