- My Story:
When I graduated high school I sought a big challenge in life. To alone, with only simple hand tools and raw power, build my own traditional off grid log cabin by hand from the materials of the Swedish forest. I film everything myself and edit these videos so you can follow my journey and hopefully learn as I do. I have no earlier experience in any of this, just a visualization of what I want to achieve and willpower to learn and improve everything necessary. So I enjoy reading good advice in the comments. Enjoy!

Nice time capsule you placed under the floor. You even left a clue about who built the cabin, nice touch.
I must have missed that. What was it?
@@bmbullman about 6:30 minutes in
@@bmbullman The newspaper he placed under the floor.
I can't read Swedish :(
@@self-righteousideologue9398 you could read his name tho
Good to see you're wearing your safety socks.
LOL.

in addition to his incredible woodsman and carpentry skills, it is easy to forget he is setting up all of the video shots as well. He makes it seem as though some hidden film crew is taking all of this video. Think of the time that it takes just to set up a seven second piece of video. What an awesome, talented young man.
A golden touch indeed.
Ironically that's the part that takes me out of it. No shade to the man, i just cant help but picture him walking all the way, setting up the camera, walking back, and then walking to the camera again like its the first time.
@@chand911 I do understand that feeling. However, what is the alternative? He had no dedicated cameraman at his disposal. Until we have autonomous mobile robots capable of following voice commands with incredible AI abilities, it must be done this way. The result is a professional looking production showing the step by laborious step process of building a magnificent cabin pretty much as it has been done for many centuries. That cabin may stand for a century or more. I prefer to look at it as a beautifully done documentary.
And advertising all the various changes of clothing. The different camera angles would be done with multiple cameras.
@@photoguy73 it's a work of art, perform piece, documentary, etc. So many things & so many talents. Beautiful Job!
I think Erik was getting worried that having an insulated floor AND a roof might make him weaken! So he went to sleep in a cave, just to keep it real :-) I love these videos so much.

Lighting a campfire in a small cave seems like a good way to pass out from lack of oxygen and die from smoke inhalation, unless there's something I missed 🤔
Obrigada . Brazil
@@Sheghostly hot air rises, including smoke through cracks in the roof, that's just the conclusion I reached
The shoeless edge trimming. Just like I would do it. Except for the snug fit and the part where you didn’t lose a toe. Love the videos!
Ha! Was just at that boy coming to the comments to announce how a man, in socks, carving with an axe 8 inches from his toes is a sign of a guy who knows what he’s doing!
The biggest flex of the decade.
Curious about tight fit also.
Shoeless trimming, makes you think extra hard about being precise.. (or something 😂)
I have 8 toes cause I tried doing that 🤣
For all of you who do not speak and read Swedish, the article in the paper he put under the floor was about him.
Thank you!
Cool! I thought it was to simply let know the date of his handiwork for generations to come.
Wow. Incredible 💕 I love that
I'm guessing, just from context, that the headline also stated that he is 20 years old as of publication
@@dionh70 "Here 20 year old Erik builds a log cabin by hand - alone in the woods." Roughly translated.
I find it somehow extremely interesting, that the only words he has spoken through the entire series so far, are to the fire as he pleads with it to continue burning.
My father built a log cabin in the mountains of SE Australia, for his father, in the 1930s. It was nowhere as grand or well made as Erik's fine cabin, but it did the job. My brother and I rebuilt it with hand tools and logs from the eucalyptus forest in the early 1960s when we were university students. Over the years other cabins have been added as our families grew; five generations of our family have now visited the huts, for almost 100 years. They are more simply constructed than Erick's cabin as Australian forests are mostly hardwood and not as easily to work by hand as the Swedish conifer forrest. That said, Erik odyssey is a magnificent one and he has my utmost respect. Few young men have the drive, imagination and respect for the land and the old times as he seems to have. Well done Erik!
You are not "surviving" in the wild, you are living.
So cool!
"Thriving"

Мой дедушка сушил доски на пол 2 года, пока тоже сам строил дом.
seeing you slip the newspaper article under the flooring gave me goosebumps. you're a legend!
Most entertained I’ve been in years, and I believe he only whispered one word. “Yes” when he started the fire. BRILLIANT!!
Erik you are an exceptional young man . I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you build this cabin . You are a true craftsman .
Can't get enough of these videos. The fact that a lot of countries people are still locked in their homes due to COVID, these videos are a great way to kind of escape in your mind for half an hour. Thank you very much for making these videos Erik. Keep them coming :-)
Are you from Australia?
But why he didnt shoot the deer?
@@user-xw2gt3hd5n probably because of youtube... Maybe you don't show how shoot animals....
@@vonHannersdorf Maybe, he had some esthetical issues, because there are hunting clips on TH-cam. But mushrooms are tasty, too.
Maybe it is not deer hunting season. Some hunters only kill when they actually need the meat, maybe he does not need it yet.
Im always happy when a new video is put out. its like putting my brain on pause to just relax and take in everything like a toddler watching a movie/
It’s incredible how my body mind and soul are pulled toward these videos. It’s like a spiritual calling reminding you how you should be living.
Your documentation of your journey is pure and honest. You show us your struggles as well as your inspirational perseverance.
My father was a master carpenter...and he would have been AMAZED at what a beautiful cabin you built, your precision with an axe and the entire way you went about it. He was a man who handled tools the very same way, it was incredible to watch him build something on his land that I'd not seen because he did huge commercial construction jobs so to finally get to witness his talent was such a gift....and Erik has so much of what it takes to be the absolute master of builders. Great job for such a young man.
Wow, you are giving your dog Royal treatments with such fine wool blanket and a chewing bone, nice Eric👍⛺🌲
You're actually going out and making this fantasy many of us have come to life. Much respect and admiration.
Forgive me for I have sinned. I haven't watched the entire video, but listened to it all. This is because the sounds from the nature and craftmanship is soothing and perfect to have in the background.
It is amazing to be watching this whole process, I can’t believe how far along it’s come! You’re so inspiring.
And its amazing he didnt chop his foot off with that hatchet rofl...not safe at all.
Are you planning on occupying it?
@@sirrobinofloxley7156 Waiting for him to go there claiming his people lived there x thousand years ago and take it over with force
@@johnnyporker8837 All after being Holocausted too, amazing story.
Everytime I think it can't get any better and more beautifull you manage to prove me wrong. Also it calms me so much to watch your videos, with all the sounds of nature, walking, fire... Love it!
Isn't nature the best? Seriously, it's such a stress reliever!
Enthralling as ever 🙂I also love the fact you don't cover the whole video in annoying music. The pictures and natural sounds speak for themselves. Thank you.
I agree 100%.
I agree 1000%
I agree 10000%
I agree 100% as soon as music appears in these wilderness videos I turn off
I agree 100% with the rest of these comments. Nature’s sounds are the perfect background for your content. The peace and serenity in the lifestyle you have created is amazing. Bravo 👏🏼
I just have no words, I've been watching you from the beginning make your house with everything by hand you have no equipment just very few people do that ,you do it with a lot of work, brother, I wish which will make your loved ones smile and be inspired. Congratulations,and survive only in the Balkans I personally can't do like you
bro very good I wish you much success in life let your friends be faithful and your family be healthy and happy.Greetings from Bulgaria 🙂
Erik, I can't describe how edifying it is to watch your journey and all the hard work you did to fulfill your goal! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world.
When cabin finally looks inhabitable he moves into a cave 😂 Living like our forefathers took it one step further and became a cave man.
That surprised me too, but Eric is a nature boy, who chops up ice floe in winter to take a cool bath.
😂😂
@@Bernd_Anders it was cold
he can't risk having a fire nearby his house
Yeah, building a home of fat wood has it’s restrictions 😅

Я Русский и глядя на золотого парня, вызывает уважение! Он умеет делать руками, а не словом! Мое уважение, тебе! С тобой не пропадешь! Руки у тебя растут из правильного места, приятно смотреть твои видео. Мы не так и отличаемся по жизненным принципам, в своей сути! Береги себя и своих близких! Продолжай свое дело!)
I'm Brazilian, I've been following your construction since the beginning, it's helping me a lot during the pandemic.
The sounds of this video really so relaxing 😔
The cabin is really coming along 👏
Ви !
Ви-супер чоловік на всі руки майстер!
Нехай Господь Бог береже Вас!
Watching this video and then being interrupted by ads depicting our ever increasing disconnected and artifical modern life truly makes what he is accomplishing all the more impressive. I long to escape the matrix. It's so entrenched it seems inescapable to so many. I wish I had a piece of land to bugger off to and develop my human strength and skills. I hope you reap the rewards of this endeavor for many years to come.
Beautiful Erik... You fill my heart with admiration and joy. Thank you for inviting us into your precious world. Peace.
The precision of that axemanship 😱
I’m new to your videos but I can see that the skill set you have is Grandfather taught.What a gift you have and I can’t even imagine your grandfathers incredible ability.Just beautiful to watch your precision and skill.
Honestly this is the only channel that I am eagerly waiting for a new movie to come in. Peaceful beauty of nature.
Sweden is such a beautiful country. Because of my job, I spent some time near Skelleftea a few years ago, it was simply amazing. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
The gov is absolute shit
Not only do I enjoy watching the build of your spectacular cabin, you're capture of the nature around you is stunning. I find your videos extremely relaxing.
Тяга, похоже, хорошая, угореть невозможно. Любознательность и страсть к экспериментам у Эрика огромная.
This person's will and determination is something we'd have to admire, as he is using his time on making a literal house from scratch
The sheer precision this man has with a hatchet or axe from building this cabin is insane. for reference i struggle with splitting a 2 inch wide twig
Yes its truly amazing.
I congratulate you, for a young man your work is amazing. And you have a great talent and probably one one best work ethics I have ever seen.
Steel toe'd boots whilst form fitting the floorboards might be a good idea ... 🪓 🧦 😬
As if the cabin alone isn't Mind-blowing! Your videography skills and sound management are superb, such an honor to be able to witness such a great outdoorsman. Peace.
at 8:40 you helped your dog in to hang out with you, and I knew right there you were a really good person, you even give him blocks of wood to chew. Love from Wisconsin.
The newspaper under the floorboards made me smile! Such a nice touch. I'm so invested in this!
- always looking forward to the next upload :)
Странное и непонятно
Строить дом весь день, а ночевать под камнями в лесу .
Ah yes, only two kind of people would do that barefoot-edge-shaping, complete beginner fools or seasoned knowledgable craftsmen. Seeing what you've accomplished (and lucky for your toes) you obviously fall into the latter group. Great video AGAIN!
Took the words right out of my mouth (or my keyboard)!
I think when he started building the cabin he was doing all this for the first time. He definitely seemed less confident back then as well.
But his carpentry skill seems to reflect years of experience. I've been doing it for a few years and I'm envious of his capabilities. He's either a virtuoso learner or must have trained under a skilled craftsman.
I would move to rural Sweden in a heartbeat. I've always loved it. Just beautiful, serene, peaceful, and nobody talking! Nice and quiet.
You are awesome, my young friend! You have changed so much since the first episode; I caught you in the middle of your videos and had to search for the first! It's been rewarding for me to watch you grow into the person you are now. Really love the cabin, the wilderness and the feeling of accomplishment you have shown in every video. Can hardly wait to see more! GREAT JOB!!!
Greetings from Finland. I really enjoy videos which relate to traditional woodworking. Here in the Nordics our forefathers truly were master woodworkers and most of the time they used little more than an axe and a knife. I love how you also seem to use your axe whenever possible in favor of more modern tools.
Eric brings new meaning to; if it don’t fit force it! Love the floor, I would love to smell the inside of your cabin, I also love the barn, the animals have a very nice place to stay out of the weather. Your pup is coming along nice also, he is a beautiful dog.
Эрик, неужели Вы снимаете видео сами? Это адский труд совмещать работу и видеосъемку. Вашему упортству можно восхищаться. В столь юном возрасте....Вы ломаете стереотипы. Удачи Вам во всем...
You know the guy is confident with his axe skills when there is nothing but a sock to protect those toes
Du är en stark, intelligent och kreativ ung man. Jag önskar dig framgång i framtiden. Jag hoppas också få lära mig många färdigheter av dig.
Alla pojkar skulle lära sig det Erik veta, tror jag. Kanske det blir nödvändigt i framtiden!
The skills used to do what you have done are sadly lost to most of us. Woodlore is something I think all of us should know and learn and pass on like your forefathers before you. This planet is such a precious gift and if more of us took a minute, took a breath and saw what we have right in front of us, the world would be a better place for it. What a crying shame we continue to ignore this and lose so many beautiful things in the process. Bless you for showing us what we should value and appreciate because you definitely are living your best life. 👏
Your shots, the magnificent sounds of nature, cave camping, your lovely pup - plus, all of your hard work and grace as you share these moments - glorious!! I raised 2 boys (now in their 30's), and am a very proud mom. Your parents did a fantastic job! Best wishes, I forsee many good things in your future😊👍🙋♀️
You are an inspiration to all that watch your video's . People who will never get to do what you've done live it through you and your camera lens . I wish that more young people in this world had your work related skills . You my young friend can do anything . Keep up the awesome content !!! All the way from Iowa USA .
First writing a comment, then watching video: I am so excited to see the video 🤗🤗🤗
I have watched you since you picked out the spot to build your home. I wished that I had the knowledge and skills to be able to build my own log home and live off of the land. Well, I can enjoy watching you do these things. Thanks for sharing. Ron from the United States of America.
Sweden has the freedom to roam enshrined in its constitution, meaning you can go anywhere, except for what's deemed the "personal zone" next to a house (the personal zone can be up to 70 m/230 ft around, so good for keeping your actual house and front yard private). You can go anywhere, forage respectfully (anywhere that's not obviously cultivated), have access to any body of water to fish or swim... and it means a lot of Swedish kids are given the opportunities to spend enough time in the wild to actually learn skills like these. Because when you can run free in the woods and build play huts with your friends, at some point, building your own cabin just becomes the next logical step.
I wish the US had more laws like it, rather than focusing on the one individual's right to tell everyone else to buzz off. It made me really sad when I moved here, that the access to nature is made into a privilege rather than a right. And it's not a diss on the US, btw, just an observation on how laws shape the world.
@@gayahithwen That's it, I'm moving to Sweden !
@@gayahithwen what's mine is mine. Stay off lest you be shot.
@@gayahithwen hmmm interesting perspective. Personally I own a large amount of land and have fenced it all off. I live off my land with animals, harvest, and used the trees to build and warm my home. I wouldn’t want people on my property at all. Guess it’s just different here.
Thank you for showing all of these parts of the process that people usually skip over in log cabin building videos.
Your dog is so adorable, just picked up the piece of wood like she wanted to help 10:16. Love your videos!
Well, its a retriever. He want to play.
Congrats for your floor ! Big step done !
The paper has an article about him building the cabin. Nice Easter egg for someone in the future.
I can't believe I watched everything just today, from the very beginning of building this incredible house 🏘️.. a master piece content 👌🏻 love from Iraq ❤️🇮🇶
4:03 The sound of the pitch rising as that nail goes in is so satisfying!
26:02 what a shot, also loved the whole vibe during this vid, GJ.
Great job Erik
Now you're on a newspaper article because of your log cabin build. Awesome!
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера.
Thank you Eric for the latest update. Your resourcefulness when using a limited amount of modern tools is astounding. What I noticed most about the floor was how straight it was from front-to-back. This is a challenge with 21st century tools and properly poured foundation. Congratulations on your hard work. Always good to see your dog (as he looks a bit like my chocolate labrador retriever) and give Alice a hug for all of us who miss her.
-"Hey Erik, did you hear about the latest news?"
-"No"
-"What!? Where have you been, living under a rock?!"
-"Yes".
6:30 he is the news 😂
When I watch your videos, I relax. These videos are so cinematic and atmospheric. A unique gift for a resident of the metropolis.
красивая природа )))) и домик классный !!! молодец Эрик , сильный и целеустремленный... и умеет все... и один ведь ...
И...главное, молодой ещё, а столько умения и трудолюбия.
How satisfying it must be to see those beautiful knotty pine floorboards fitting together so snugly.
Erik: builds a whole log cabin by hand, carefully finishes the flooring
Also Erik: sleeps under this rock for tonight
you sir are a rare breed of man. My hats off to you sir. Well done!
Восхищаюсь вашего знания и мастерства. Очень добротный дом получается.
Came straight from a Gregorian Chant video in a beautiful cathedral to this…not an interruption of peace. Thanks for all your hard work in creating videos like this. God bless.
hello Erik I'm looking forward to your next movie. You made the floor very professionally, as if you had already done a lot of them. I admire you that at such a young age you have done so much without experience. I am waiting for the next movie because I think you made the last one in autumn. Best regards
Been watching since you first started....the quality of your workmanship is outstanding. If I were to show up in 300 years that cabin will still be standing. 👍
I love the newspaper under the floor. Great memory and time capsule.
I Love how you remembered to put the time capsule news paper under the floor. Really good video Erik . Thanks for posting.
You will have gaps between floor planks when they shrink. They will shrink for years. In the summer they have the biggest moisture and width.
Traditionally floor planks weren't nailed to the hoists but only attached to each other with wooden dowels. Then they were tightened afterwards and thin plank was added to fill the gap
Sweet
I have enjoyed your journey from the beginning! I miss the family dog but love watching your new one grow! Your craftsmanship, love of nature and peacefulness is overwhelmingly brilliant! Thank you!
Happiest pup around frolicking in the Swedish wilderness
Honestly your videos are so therapeutic and relaxing! I'm always so impressed by the way you film everything from so many angles, it looks like it could be a bigger professional production. Really loving this series and hope to see more from you in the future!
Thriving in the wilderness with your dog, awesome! Länge velat prova att övernatta i ett sten-gryt, ser hur häftigt ut som helst. Tack för inspirationen Erik!
Consegui tu canal por casualidad, te sigo viendo porque eres un chico genial, trabajas solo, en silencio, concentrado y todo lo haces muy bien. Que paisajes mas bonitos. Te has conseguido una buena cueva donde pasar la noche y tu perro me parece excelente mascota. Un saludo desde Alicante 🇪🇦
Хозяин,хозяин, настоящий мужик,вот бы все мужики такие были трудолюбивые,все бы умели делать хорошо и качественно ,как этот парень,респект и уважуха.
Watching those floorboards join perfectly is SOOOOO satisfying.
I have great respect for all you've done with your cabin looking forward to seeing more
I love watching your work ethic in action. Maybe you could work out a wholesale/sponsor deal with the company that makes those rubber pigs. Print your logo on the pigs and offer them for sale. I don't even own a dog and I would buy one. A lot of people do have dogs that would buy one!
The moss covered landscape is sooooo beautiful!
That dog has one good life.
Is there nothing that this young man can't do? He laid a perfect floor in his beautiful hand built cabin, then goes for a casual walk in the forest picking up his dinner as he goes. Then cooks dried frog and squirrel (sic) after first throwing the odd twig away. You are a very impressive person Erik.
Truly ever word you said is true
Raghu from India
What a talented young man. Every mother out there is hoping their daughter meets someone like you Erik.
Why not hope their daughters turn out as independent and crafty as Erik? Don't tell a girl to look for a hero to protect her. Make her her own hero and protector.
@@Matt..S 😵💫 West Girls are Hypergam. Erik don’t need a housekeeper girl. Thanks feminism …
This guy has some serious skills
Great video. I would have been afraid that a bear would come visiting his cave while you were sleeping. The woods are so beautiful and the wind sounds are awesome. Makes me want to go camping.
Fajną masz chatkę tyle pracy i dokładności w budowę wkładasz po ukończeniu będzie domek jak z bajki no i przepiękna okolica pozdrawiam z Polski i życzę dużo zdrowia i radości z ukończenia chatki 👏👏👍
Barr is so cute wanting to see what you're doing. It's nice you have him for company
I love how he loves his dog so much he capitalised Dog
Great presentation. God bless wilderness people.
