Man Builds Off Grid Log Cabin Alone in the Canadian Wilderness

One man builds a cheap, rustic log cabin in the Canadian wilderness alone and without power tools over several months in 2017. Kiat: Hugely impressive. What am undertaking! So many questions. I saw a privy - was that videod too? Where are those squared off boards coming from? On your land what made you choose that precise location? Is it on a rise away from waterlogged ground? Did you manage to build this whole thing with no music or radio in the background? How do you guard against fire on the outside? Half way through as you were digging down, I was wondering if it was a basement or cold store you were building. What were all the woods that went into making the cabin - were they all from your forest?

as a violin player solitude is always welcome as I need to study and practice living where you live how best would you welcome it or the wild animals and birds they may on the other hand welcome it or get used to the different types of music played but your life style of solitude letting you have a garden hunt and survive and enjoy the sheer freedom I understand very well as when I practice it's in a different world so we share something in common good looking dog and fine natured best friend you could ever pick all the best stay well and safe

I have the Hermann Phleps book too, beautiful book. I built a table once too, by guess and golly. It got wobbly over time but was serviceable for 15 yrs or so. My bookshelf is still strong and sturdy. Wardrobe cabinet I made is a favourite if a bit misaligned. I put a lot of love into that. Your cabin is super cute, though could use a woman's touch at this stage! Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed.

I love fishing so I'd have to build a cabin close to a lake, But I know in some parts of the wilderness there must be Grizzly bears looking for salmon or trout, So it would make building a little more risky. But that's some amazing hard work you've done great job. The effort you put in to shou sugi ban the roof

I'm planning on coming out to Canada next year to do this myself, I lack in cabin building experience but have a slight background in carpentry and building. This year I'll be focusing on survival skills. Is there anything you could suggest for a practically beginner level in this kind of stuff?

What part of the Canadian Wilderness are you in. The government controls where you can build? With respect the building means nothing, if it illegal to build where you. Enlighten me, ty.
Fantastic work, very impressed, you are an attribute to what can be done, and not hurt the Earth.

ok, what is the square hole in the floor with the concrete wash and lid and the table over it. I know it isn't a toilet, and I can't see how it could be a freezer though it is possible. just curious lol.

Guy in video: Calmly builds an entire cabin from scratch complete with amazing detail and finish.
Me: Can't assemble an Ikea barstool from instructions without swearing and nearly giving up.
