Hi Shawn! Most of those hand tools you showed us I'm already familiar with, so, I surprised myself! I love using hand tools, and I'm an artist and craftsperson, so they really appeal to me, plus, growing up in the country, my dear dad taught me a lot about using such tools. I can use power tools too, and quite competently, but the dang things are noisy, use a lot of energy, and some are outright dangerous. Hand tools suit my artistic, creative nature much better. Doesn't Lee Valley have some awesome stuff?

This is great, I've wanted to do this for a long time. I'm gonna be leaving the city in the next couple years and want to live out in the sticks full time. Im an ontario boy so watching this in my own province is massively informative. Your doing a great job man, keep it up.
I was wondering though, how difficult would it bee to add side rooms the way you do the build? I'm aiming to make one that will fit my sons and friends when they visit.

Sir, I am a young Marine (19 years old) and I am infatuated with these videos. I have done expedition backpacking, buchcrafting, hiking, canoeing, etc. but never something like this. I admire this and as I sit around the barracks it gives me hope and something to aspire for. Thank you for all these videos. I hope one day I can create something close to anything you create.

Nice I watched your other videos did you use a brace and bit to drill holes to split your logs with feathers and wedges. Also first aid kit. I was looking to build a bug out shelter building bag. Saws tape measure chilses for half lap joints. How small would a block and tackle to hoist up your logs since your a 1 man show.
Great instruction.

Brother. all the frustration on that saw. get yourself a SILKY SAW and dont ever look back.
I recently got a Silky and I got to saw, it cuts faster than an axe, cleaner too, the blades are hella-strong, they last, and replacements dont hide from you.
Get a Silky. you will thank yourself for it.

How to find the first video, the story and biography behind? And I thought he was alone, not with wife and children nearby. And how could he just bild and hunt, can anyone do that in Canada? I thought of new-builder life in Alaska,

These old bow saws cut the best. I have used a 25 year old bow saw to build my shelter. The saw blade was never sharpened once and it still doesnt get dull. They must have had better steels back then.
