How to design a LOG CABIN IN THE FOREST: My DREAM Build in the Canadian Wilderness

Designing a log cabin in the forest in the Canadian Wilderness is a dream come true. I designed the interior and exterior layout of the cabin based on the materials I had available to me, as well as how it was going to fit into the property. When I chose the building site for the tiny house, I considered sun orientation, access to building materials, proximity to water and availability of wood for heating and cooking fuel. Wildlife habitat wind patterns also factored into the location. I installed the windows on the cabin specifically to take advantage or wind and sun and how they interacted with the surrounding topography and vegetation. Using a drone, I show the vastness of the Canadian wilderness, the cabin location and the sources of water on the land. The impact of beaver activity can be seen, and the travel patterns of moose, deer, bear and wolf are apparent. leona: you have a beautiful piece of land there' good ideas info'' on location as to wind and sun and water'' love your videos shawn' and the land with amazing cabin you are putting up''

Shawn love your videos--and love luv luv Cali-I am a vegan so when you talk of 'harvesting' an animal I have to turn away-we all want to live free of human abuse cruelty exploitation enslavement murder- not a criticism as veganism is a personal choice-just have to be honest-please continue to post your videos-i look forward to them as do hundreds of thousands of people all around the globe--you have touched a deep chord among us all----Diane from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

Everything you said about the way the sun moves across the sky especially winter time is how I want my next place. Everything bass ackwards is my present place. Bake in summer cold in winter. Close to work and above flood plain was #1 40yr ago. Now proper orientation is crucial plus budget constraints.

Such beautiful naturistic settings. Absolutely love it, except for bugs, of course. Anything except dogs, cats/ domestic animals, that has more legs than me. I'm taking coner! Nonetheless, I adore nature's banquet anytime.

How Ironic. The ad before this video is about the Entebbe hijack with lots of guns and killing. That'll make you want to build a cabin in the woods. And now my friends, the Shawn James show, and thank goodness for that.

I have been watching your videos for a while now and I enjoy them however, I often wonder what was the reason you made your cabin so small?
