Want the same axe I use in the video This is episode 5 of building the outdoor kitchen in front of my log cabin. Almost all of the necessary beams are done now. I only have a few left, and then I’ll put all of them together and raise the whole building! ____ A huge thank you to Tormek for sponsoring this video! Their sharpening systems have truly been a game changer for my woodworking, keeping my tools razor sharp for every step of the build: A massive thank you to Revolution Race for the clothes that you know I am always wearing. Get the same clothes here: ____ My website: I hand-craft my own cutting boards in the log cabin. I can only make a few at a time, so you have to be first to buy one when a new batch is released. Every board is signed by hand with its own unique number, representing how every cutting board is unique. They are made from hard nordic oak, making them extremely durable, holding up for a lifetime of abuse. Instead of having a plastic cutting board that really should be thrown away after 2 years. I was told that my dream of selling handmade products wouldn’t work in today's world where everything is mass produced. I want to prove them wrong. My goal is to expand into other handmade products. Making a series of lifetime quality handmade goods. Breaking free from mass production, supporting our environment. So check out my website: ____ This is the gear that I use to make these videos possible: My main camera: My second camera: My lens: My drone: These amazon links are affiliate links. By using these links I earn a small fee from your purchase, it does NOT cost you anything extra. Thank you for your support and be creative with your new gear! Thank you Stevie Antoniou for editing this video!

Your video is so calming. From the scenes, to the colors, and surrounding sounds I can literally fall asleep. Thank you for showing us beauty through your creative content. I truly love how you appreciate beauty of nature from the little things to the big things. As beautiful as your surrounding property is, I can only imagine how it looks in person. Again, thank you for sharing this beautiful part of who you are and what you love. Keep up the amazing work!

Lovely video, thanks Erik. The pace of your life and some of the activities remind me of what my stepdad's life used to look like. He didn't build a cabin but he had an orchard where he grew peaches, kiwis and other fruits on a mountain somewhere in Italy. He was a hunter (mostly grouse) and fisherman and he would have absolutely loved your dog. And like you he had a lovely voice.
Thank you so much for sharing what you do.

Watching the joinery process was a sincere pleasure. There is great contentment in doing everything by hand. Every detail every cut is methodical and precise even the process of sharpening the blades. I am adding one of those hand forged axes to my wish list, Your video is one of by favorites and I will watch it frequently. The venison looks delicious, Sending you good thoughts powerful energy and groovy vibes! Skol!

Hello Eric!
I see something, on interesting thought
came to my head again!
I decided to bulid some kind of structure!
True, l don't yet interesting what in will be like!
But it's interesting
Maybe some kind of canopy in front of the house! But, something is too massive!
This is a bit of an ax to grind, because l remember the same video on this to6!

i can really appreciate your honesty with the incorporation of some/very few modern technologies but to try and stay true to the old ways and practices of woodworking and hand forged tools. i love it. i try to be more creative with my hand forged knifes and hand tools in this respect. it’s a primitive feeling inside that i can’t ignore.

I’m fascinated that the hanging deer does not attract bears. Brown bears in the US (grizzlies) are aggressive and would go after the deer and then you and the dog. I think they are related species but dramatically different behavior.
I love the joinery, each connection is an artwork.

We have watched your videos in the past and really liked them because they promoted a return to nature and sustainable values.
But now we are disappointed because you are now behaving like the worst capitalist who only sees profit and money behind everything.

Fewer spiders, please. For those with phobias, it changes a relaxing watch to one full of jump scares and adrenaline. I love the nature shots, and webs are truly beautiful with dew on them. But I could do with one or two less actual spider friend on screen.

Erik! I started following like a month ago, and have since watched everything. You are an inspiration both with the ax and the camera. We have the exact same camera setup. Are you shooting in log and he’s color grading The footage is gorgeous.

Eric, another beautiful cinematic video! I don't know when u filmed this but we are watching in late December! It's raining there instead of snowing! As always I admire your workmanship! Happy Holidays!
reply

15: 08 Erik, I hope those light spots on the wooden shelf aren't mold. Hope you don't have any moisture problems.
Very nice video, craftmanship on top tier.
God Yule and Happy new year!

I almost broke my arms patting myself on the back for replacing two electrical outlets today. Then I watched this. I don’t feel so good about myself anymore lol
reply

The most beautiful axe i have ever seen in my life. Referring to the one used to cut the beam in the beginning. Not that the new one is any less beautiful! lol
reply

The way this ancient Japanese wood joint flexes instead of breaks during earthquakes is brilliant it’s like wisdom carved directly into the structure.

What happened Find out we watch cause we care but dont whant to pay your way in life all about money till we say: screw that capetalist agenda right
reply

In the days before Routers/Drills etc mankind used the basic tools, lovely to see someone like yourself carrying on this tradition, excellent work Eric
