When I was 20 years old, I dropped out of college and said to myself that I will do what I really want and what I see the meaning in. So I decided to build my dream log cabin, all by myself.
I chose the traditional method - using only hand tools. My father taught me how to work with wood from a young age, but I have no experience with building a log cabin, so I'm learning everything as I go, and I'm looking forward to what this experience will teach me.
I also started this TH-cam channel where I share my entire journey, so if you are interested, you can check it out. There is no one behind the camera, so I do the filming and editing myself. I would also very much appreciate if you would support my journey by subscribing or sharing, if you want to.

I Finished The Off Grid Log Cabin Walls With Hand Tools & Building Porch Columns | EP17
Hello my dear friends!
After one year of work, I finished the walls of the log cabin and built the columns that support the logs that extend from the walls from the front of the log cabin.
In the next episode, I will be building a roof structure from round logs as well. There is still a lot of work to be done and I am very excited to share it with you! Subscribe to my channel so you don't miss out on new videos! It will also help me a lot! Thanks!

More about me:
When I was 20 years old, I dropped out of college and said to myself that I will do what I really want and what I see meaning in. So I decided to build my dream log cabin, all by myself, in the middle of an off-grid bush.
After I left school, I went to work for a while to earn money for trees and hand tools. I spent all the money I earned and my savings on it. Thank God, I already owned the land I have - I got it from my dear parents as a gift and I also bought another part of the land with my own money.
I chose a log cabin for my home because I like it. I build it with the vision of living a simple and peaceful life in it. Having time is more important to me than having money. Of course, nowadays a person cannot live without money, but I would like to live in such a way that my expenses are not so high and thus reduce the need for money. I want to have time not only for myself, but also for my future wife and children. That's why I will try to build the most self-sufficient life possible, in which my own housing, in my case a log cabin, will be the heart of this system.
I use hand tools because they are my favorite. There is beauty in simplicity.
Working with hand tools has several advantages: You are able to work off-grid, the entire set of tools you need can fit in one bag, there is better safety when you work alone, you don´t make too much noise when you´re working... so I enjoy it more and I believe you will too, while watching :)
Sometimes you will still see me use power tools for some things where I can't avoid it completely, such as drilling through metal roofing or welding, but otherwise I will always try to use primarily hand tools.
My dear father is a carpenter. I remember that most of the things he taught me while working with wood were precisely while working with hand tools, which required the most attention and practice from me.
My father taught me how to work with wood from a young age, but I have no experience with building a log cabin, so I'm learning everything as I go, and I'm looking forward to what this experience will teach me.
It may not seem like it, but it was a big struggle to get this opportunity to be able to work on my dream, but I finally did it and for that I am incredibly grateful. I also started this TH-cam channel where I share my entire journey, so if you are interested, you can check it out. There is no one behind the camera, so I do all the filming and editing myself. I would also be very grateful if you would support my journey by subscribing or sharing, if you want to.
Thank you for being here, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you're watching. I will try to make videos as best as I can, so that you get the greatest enjoyment from them.

Hello my dear friends! After two and a half months, finally another episode. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, several things happened, thank God nothing serious.

Walls Are Almost Done! One Man Building LOG CABIN in Off Grid Bush | EP 15
มุมมอง 134K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hello my dear friends🙂 I just finished the 10th row of logs and now I only have to finish the last 3 rows! The gaps you may have noticed on the walls are there because some logs are too short, so I made gaps on the walls where the windows and doors will be in the future. I have to say that scribing a wall with gaps takes much more time than scribing a log that is in one piece, because it takes ...

In the small house, I moved the bed down because it was too warm upstairs. In the next episode I will b...

You have a gift from God,my friend. Well done 👍
I've noticed that you're definitely not scared of hard work. I was stunned by what you've achieved with such a simple, limited tool kit. I take my hat off to you. I'm an Australian who has lived in an out of Latvia over the past decade. I will be returning to Latvia in about 18 months from now and I intend buy off-grid land and build my own place. I've never done it before, so I'll be getting the experience as I go. I have zero carpentry skills to speak of. I will be learning from square one.
This will be a perfect gäststugga for your family and your mates ❤
a big Log Cabin🤩
Why did you put the lock on the outside?
Use a chainsaw...lol
In a nation full of Mansion trash and trillions of mortage debt, it is good to see people, especially younger ones, CREATE what is NEEDED: Shelter. No showy display to impress people who couldnt care less, but "seeing" betond the insanity that has become our world that is self-imploding due to believing Gucci cares about you!
❤
Eu me chamo socorro,sou brasileira. Mais adoro seu trabalho..... queria saber mais de você....
With 42inch flat tv and PS5 haha
Quite inspiring. Makes me want to think about selling my home and do this
Matt, for the sections between the windows and doors what is holding the logs together besides weight? Is there a long dowel in those sections? I know u put them in towards the ends when building the walls, but curious whats holding the middle now that its open on either side. Cabin is awesome btw!!
Can you take me into your sweet home 🥰
Greetings from Zadar. You've done a great job
God bless you. Great skilled craftsmanship.
Такой молодой, когда успел научиться всему? Очень тяжелая работа, береги себя!
Wise beyond your years...
Very good vid... thanks
Matt, what a great job! Watching you makes me feel like I should be helping! Ha, Ha, Ha - Great job!
Ty jsi neuvěřitelně šikovný, Maty! Moc ti fandím! 👍❤
You remind me of my little brother, keep up the good work dude, hopefully you inspire other young people to stop messing with the grind and start living on their own terms.

Bravo! I'm a bit late to the party, but wow, you are impressive. Your hands must be strong with no gloves on. Seeing some of your tools reminds me of my grandfather...he had the same. You're doing so well. How large is this cabin? Are you from Crotia ? I subscribed. I really want to see how it looks finished. Not only are you a carpenter, but you can cook as well! I wish you all the joy and happiness. Dan from Pennsylvania.
BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ik heb met plezier naar je zitten kijken en heel veel bewondering voor je geduld en vindingrijkheid . Als het klaar is kom ik wel een keer kijken. chapeau...🤗 gr Juliette.
There are not many Lads your Age that can say there're building their own Home, good luck with the rest of the build👍
Great job, you are very talented
Matt has my vote for Emperor of the Universe! Three cheers for Matt!
Beautifully done!!
The cabin you built is perfect, cozy, charming and quaint. I would love a place like that for myself in the middle of nature! All that's needed is comfy pillows and bedding, maybe a little side-table for next to your armchair, and a dog 🙂
And there’s no drama in the kids life.
Putting solar lights would be grate
Amazing ❤❤
