Walls Are Almost Done! One Man Building LOG CABIN in Off Grid Bush | EP 15
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- 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 more time to set up and measure. But I'm glad that I now have experience with scribing logs that are not in one piece.
In the next episodes, I will be cutting out the window and door openings, carving a groove in the openings for reinforcement with wood lath, and installing the log columns on the front porch. I'm really looking forward to it.
I am very happy that you like my work so much, I also really appreciate that you support me in the comments and it motivates me even more to continue. Thank you my dear friends!
...and as always, if you want additional information for the video, you can turn on optional subtitles in the video. Enjoy🌲

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 a few years ago and later I also bought another big part of the land with my own money. So this property is mine, I'm alone on it and completely off grid. There is no water or electricity connection.
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.
Thank you all for your attention. Enjoy!

Bonjour sava. J'adore ce que vous faites. C'est mon rêve ❤. Je m'appelle Mathieu et j'habite à l'île de la Réunion dans l'océan indien ile française dans les outre-mer. Je vous suis depuis le début de votre adorable aventure. Continuez à nous faire découvrir vos talents et surtout vos vidéos plus souvent si sa ce peut pour vous. Good continuation. ❤
After waiting for more than four weeks, I finally saw your newly uploaded video. It is really not easy every time I see you completing such an arduous solid wood project alone, completely handmade. I like this kind of handmade solid wood structure. If a solid wood project like this is completed, a solid wood house can last for hundreds of years. Come on, I wish you can complete this big project as soon as possible.
👍👍👍
Hi Matt What happened, did u find that woman and forget about the cabin???????
I just discovered your channel. Ow. One of the best channels I've seen. Well done. I like how you take your time, being careful so that everything is just perfect. Very impressive skills.
Hi Matt, I just ran onto your channel tonight and with just one video I knew I was hooked ! I'm just blown away by the professional work you do. Your Father taught you well. Needless to say I will now go back to your first video and watch all of them from the start. I subscribed and liked...You're an amazing man!! Great work....👍
Thank you for writing everything in your words for followers.
Always smile when your channel pops up. Your determination and dedication are rare in one so young. I am always amazed at your skill, especially with the axe. Such precision! You are doing an amazing job.
Thanks!
There’s something so soothing about a log cabin built in the woods, a dream of mine all my 60 years! Great job young man, follow your dreams and live as minimal as you can you will look back one day and say wow, what an awesome life I’ve had! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
People say youth today are a lost cause... but as we see here that's not true, I believe there's still youth of today that enjoy outdoor life. Anyways, I subbed because I want to see the log cabin when it's finished, good luck, it's looking great.
Thanks Chris, I really appreciate it.
One can’t believe he does all this with just hand tools! This guy is truly Superman!
What about when the camera isn't rolling and the construction crew comes out with their machines...to get views...
We should and do thank you for taking us along with you on your journey. Love seeing the work you are doing much better than some. Again thank you for taking us with you. God Bless you ❤❤❤❤
Thanks! God Bless you too!
The really hard part will be when he has to put up the ridge pole by himself Good luck Matthias I’m enjoying your adventure
I'd make a temp crane winch system to get it up there then take down the rigging after set
Красиво получается,настоящий мастер,хоть и молодой,удачи тебе и здоровья крепкого.
You need to get a puppy that will grow with you and keep you comp. You do great work 👍🏻👍🏻🙏
Great work. Thank you for sharing.
Great job, great progress. Doing it by yourself is a great accomplishment.
Another great video - thank you! (Especially for the subtitles.)
Yes, I love that.
Thanks! You're welcome!
Reading about you has inspired me to watch all of your episodes, support you with my liking and surely will share your amazing journey! You are one of a kind, follow your dreams, listen to your inner voice it’s your pure essence and ride the wave of change as is the only sure thing in life. Best wishes Matt! 😊
Magnifico trabajo, una obra de arte, junto con Erik Granqvist lo mejor que he visto.
Totalmente!! Son los más genuinos y auténticos. Una pasada
Have been following along for quite some time now, it is such an impressive undertaking you have placed upon yourself. A truly admirable person you are Matthias, someone that many modern people of your age should look up to. Someone of good ethics, unafraid of the hard work involved for the task ahead. Slow progress is better than no progress and doing it all by hand makes it all the more special for your own sense of pride and accomplishment.
As always look forward to the next episode in your cabin chronicles.
In the mean time all the best to you and well done with your endeavours so far.
🖖
Thanks Phil. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you're following 🙂

@@MattJacobs-1 R welcome
Красивые места👍👍🌅
You are a BEAST dude! Most American men can't change a tire or their own oil!!!!
It's a trope, even, in the movies, on television etc-- and when they do they have to whine and moan about it. While I hope that the number of men who can't change their own tire/oil is overstated, this sure does say something about the 21st c US-- and about the culture etc MJ comes out of, and his own upbringing/virtues etc.
his dream is happening-thank you for sharing !
Prayers from a Gram of 8 ❤
Its lovely to see a young man with such a great work ethic 😊

Always interested in watching your cabin progress Mattias. Do you expect to be moved in by the time snow flys again? Stay safe my friend! Look forward to your next update!
Вот это настоящий мужчина! Просто обожаю наблюдать когда мужчина строит !
that cabin will be very warm this winter
That’s such a beautiful scenery. You have a spring water to take a cool shower when it’s hot and get fresh water when it doesn’t rain. Thank you r sharing another outstanding video❤
What a magical looking place the clareity of the water and the falls is absouloutly beautiful.The cabinn build is coming along very well thanks for shareing Matthias
looks so good bro
thanks man
No experience neccesary. We learn as we do them.
You are one capable man for doing this alone. I’ll pray that there are no serious pitfalls, only for the best in your journey. It’s times like this where social media is a double-edged sword, without it, I wouldn’t have found this channel. I’m glad that I found a reason to hope in our generation again. God bless you and your family!
Grew up in Alaska helped build my share of log cabins. But I have to say your grooving and notch work is outstanding. The fit of each log as good as it gets. And by yourself. I'm more than impressed. I also have a couple friends with log cabin mansions. Your work is high-end. Very nice. Peace.
What a beautiful area you chose ! Your cabin is coming along nicely and your progress must be so satisfying . Thank you for bringing us along ! Stay safe and well !
You're welcome! Thank you for being here!
I’m a new comer to this channel, and really appreciate the effort you put in your videos on top of cabin building!! Good luck from Canada 🍁
😍😍😍
Thank you for not forgetting the cabin, I understand that sometimes you get bored and have a hard time focusing, because I haven't finished my cabin since last Christmas.
Cool cabin 😊
Super. Još malo i počinje streha. Bravo!
Another great episode!!!
Hey, cool video, thanks for that!👍🙂
Your dedication to constructing a log cabin from scratch, despite having no prior experience, is truly commendable. By documenting each step of the process, you've not only showcased your determination but also inspired viewers to pursue their own ambitious projects. Your video is a testament to the power of learning through hands-on experience and perseverance. Keep up the fantastic work! And I am Floating Village Life.
Thank you 😄
You are going to be so fit and muscled by the time you get done! Love watching your content. Thanks so much for sharing the journey ❤
This is so cool! I hope I can have a cabin off grid similar to this in the future. Super inspiring :)
I’m truly amazed by how much you are doing in building this cabin on your own

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
Can I have your mini cabin when you're done with your big one? ;) It looks so wonderful. All I would need is some sort of bathroom and I'd be happy there.
