I just quit my job and left the big city of Toronto to move onto 40-acres of Canadian wilderness with a magical river. I am building an off-grid homestead with multiple cabins and structures from the timber on the land. I may have made a huge mistake as doing this at the start of Winter in late November may make general construction difficult if not impossible.
My first project is a 12' by 16' cabin using the BUTT AND PASS method with raw logs. It will include a sleeping loft and a steel roof. I will not be milling or saddle notching the logs, but chinking in the small gaps that do appear with the butt and pass method with raw logs. This method's main advantage is SPEED.
To all my viewers and subscribers, STRENGTH AND HONOUR! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲

You drag those heavy logs around, all you need is three two-foot-long logs, perfectly round, you pick up the long timber you have cut a foot of the ground slide the small log underneath, then pull it to its length, you then rinse and repeat, let the small log do the work for you. As for storage, raise the logs off the ground by using three log supports underneath, which stops them from freezing, then in the spring stops the moisture from getting into the log. Also, flag your Site!!! put coloured flags on poles around your site where trip hazards are, storage and suchlike. I saw the cardboard boxes in the tent, flatten them, then put your cot legs on the cardboard, it will stop cold bridging into the cot frame. Now the weather is bad you need to prep your fire each day in survival mode. You lay out three starting kits for three separate days, so if you are tent bound you are prepped. Small survival trick I learned as an army survival instructor. Find an old tyre, cut a chunk of the rubber, make it a wedge, at the thin end of that light it with a lighter, and let it catch. Then use this to light your stove fire, save fuel, and the rubber will last ages. Also, you need in your tent a crash system, get a box of long matches, open it up, pull out a match place it in the box and shut the drawer on it, so that there is a match presented to use straight away, leave this by the stove. Save your fat from your steak in a tallow jar, also save the fine ash in a metal bucket, (so you can make Lye water in spring). Outside your tent flap, store a shovel jammed into the ground and the handle upright, you will need this in an emergency. You are also the messiest lumber jack I have ever seen, keep the cutoffs, and shaved limbs put into piles. You may need these later. Near your longdrop toilet, I would set up now a compost area, and start putting small limbs and rubbish in there. I have not seen a CO detector in your tent, may be a good investment. Your batteries bring into the tent at night. Right that is enough of me, going to give you one last bonkers tip, when you have a bath in the snow, when you get out, roll in the snow before using a towel, the snow will get rid of the water, making your towel less wet, and pat yourself dry do not rub, pat don't rub, if you rub you will get hypothermia. Another crazy army trick as well, when you go to bed, wash your feet in freezing cold water then immediately get in your sleeping bag and do it up, in two minutes the bag just gets red hot.
Nice tips 👌
Dude these are all great tips for him and anyone doing cold weather camping
Holy cow, awesome tips! Hope they are well received and acted upon.
like this reply!!! @wild homestead need to see this!!
Excellent tips!! 🎉
Please never stop making these videos, I am already hooked. Watched the first one last night and I was like “aww he only has 1 video, hope he keeps producing them”. Can’t wait to see more!! You are living my dream! :)
Omg so true
“Never”..not obtainable 😂
Same bro , soo truee
@@a.y.t.a.s.494it could be a generational homestead, he said in the first episode he wants to pro create and find a beautiful lady lol
To bad all city boy's doesn't have his knowledge. He's a cool guy and very knowledgeable in the way of the Wood's. Great content. And good for him getting off grid.
You can tell he has a background in entertainment with how he speaks to the camera. Great personality mixed with my favourite type of content and I was subbed. Great videos so far. And I hope that dog comes back
I agree. This channel is very entertaining.
He lived in China for like 8 years and starred in multiple Chinese TV shows and some movies. He was also a host on Chinese live television where he talked with the Backstreet Boys. I'm not joking he's said it himself before.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT GOOD SIR! MAY THE GODS BLESS YOU! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
HELLO NIKOLA! FROM WILD ONTARIO 🫡😎🌲

Best part of going city-to-off-grid is buying all the toys.
Don’t let other people tell you that you’re not prepared or that you’re not cut out for this. I saw that a lot on your first/last video. The truth is, we are all ill prepared for the first of a lot of things. Can you do things different? Sure you can, but that’s part of the learning process and will get you to full self-reliance the right way.
Thanks for the content. I hope your journey is a successful one.
Gotta respect a man that films the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of his journey. Keep the videos coming!
Make a fire pit even it is small to cook on , please . Remember branches dry easy to pick and start a fire quick .
I REALLY hope the dog comes back to join this journey
he put a comment on his first video, the dog was one of his neighbors, but I hope so too
@@maddoxthediehardbillsfandamn so he hasn’t come back? I was actually watching hoping so bad the dog would stay haha
What I wouldn’t give to binge watch the next 20 years of this guys videos tonight. Keep up the good work!
I was just thinking that. Found his channel at 9pm… need to do a lot of work for tomorrow and a lot of heavy outside labor durning the day. I’m 50, it’s supposed to be 90f tomorrow… how much sleep do I need not to die and still watch a lot of this content?!
As a 49 year old man in the south of gentrified England you are absolutely living my dream life by casting off the mould that we are encouraged to fit in to. Well done for breaking out early enough to make it happen. Keep up the great work so that we can live vicariously through your journey. I'm looking forward to seeing your subscriber base exploding from the 15k you have now, to hundreds of thousands of people who like me have this dream at our core. Go Thor!
Man I’m living in south England and I love it at times but hate it way more wanna do this myself and when I’m older I wanna do this
You have a lot of branches and saplings you cut off… how about a burn pile?
I'm a Brit too. Would be great to have enough land to do this. Wales?
I would make brush piles with the branches and tree tops to burn while you are working, it will maintain a clear clean space in which to work and fell more trees. Also good for moral to have a brush pile burning giving you a place to warm up and dry off. Just keep the good top trunk sections aside for future firewood. Please get chainsaw chaps for yourself they could save your life
Yes chaps are essential and great tips :) I concur.
Only 2 videos and the quality and entertainment value is much beyond many TH-camrs who have been doing it for years. This shows in the number of subscribers and views. Keep up the great work.
Great work buddy! Definitely need a 4wheeler added to your arsenal! It will help you in so many ways plus then you can plow and keep a clean trail and work site and save some energy pulling those logs to do other things!
Glad to see you are stepping away from the falling trees. Makes be breathe a sigh or relief.
To get your logs off the ground. Use the tree trunks that are too small placed on the ground perpendicular to the logs.
Good luck and enjoy the journey!
Use 4 to 6 inch diameter logs 8 foot long as a skid of sorts to rest the wall logs on and tarp the build log pile to keep the elements out.
Yeah logs off the ground, will also help them to dry a bit. Oh and buy some feller wedges, wont stuck your saw again.
We call it "dunnage"in the drywall trade
Try building 2 tippe poles stands and hang the tarp over them at a incline to keep the snow off the logs. I agree with the base idea of right angle logs. Also check out rocket mass heater as it's a great way to reduce the amount of wood burn but keep you and your tent warm. It makes better use of the heat and keeps it around longer!
LOL!! Watching you grab those logs and haul them to the building site gives a new definition to "Tree Hugger". I've spent many winters in the woods as a logger. Sometimes when people start going off on loggers I tell them I'm a tree hugger as well. When they ask how that can be since I'm a logger I tell them "A good logger has to hug to the trees to see which way they lean. A simple tip for actually figuring that out on the tricky ones is to grab your axe by the butt end, blade facing away from you, and let it dangle in front of you and use it as a plumb to see which way it leans.
This is a fantastic tip! Thank you so much for this!!! Straight from an original TREEHUGGER himself! 😎🫡🤝😂
@@wildhomestead can’t wait 2 see EP3.💪🏽
Your videos are a standout, not just for their top-notch production quality, but for the way you embrace the learning process in bushcraft with such enthusiasm and determination. It's impressive how you turn each challenge into an engaging story through your insightful commentary. Your background clearly shines through, making each video more than just a guide-it's a journey of discovery and growth. Your approach is refreshingly genuine. Keep up the good work!
It’s looking good so far
Use some of your smaller cut offs as cribbing for your main logs to stay off the ground.
You can always cover them with pine branches and that will make it easier to clean them up once you’re ready. Keep it going before you hit the winter wall 😂👍
Huge respect for going for this adventure, I look forward to following your build 👊🏻
For hauling logs. I would get some strong rope and tie it around the handles of your tree gripper device. Basically make shoulder straps for yourself so u can pull it easier, make yourself into a horse. I hope u also make a greenhouse and a sand battery. Check out rocket mass heaters too! Best of luck!
All those 4ft pieces of logs you cut the trail in could be used as a roller. Next comes stacking them and peeling the bark off. If don't peel the logs they will hold bugs and rot. Get some 3/8ths re-bar to make some dogs to hold the logs, and make a heavy-duty scribe to mark for shallow V-Cut under the logs. Use a Butt and Pass methiod. Use a 6ft length of rope to drag the logs with the bushwacker as a handle. Buy a box of long timber screws to anchore the log walls. Leave the ends of the log about foot long at each corner, cut and trim later. Alternate the logs, Butt,tail,butt tail to keep all sides as even as possible, Level, and use the thicker ones first for the lower part of the walls. Build a sturdy latter about 11 to 12 foot long.
MICHAEL! Thanks so much for all the advice! Yes the plan going in was to go with the Butt + Pass method, it may not be the most elegant, but it sure does seem to work, and fast!!!
We have a lot in common. From downtown Toronto. Lived in Asia for a long time. Am now currently building a cabin on my newly purchased 50 acres. It's daunting how much there is to learn but nothing teaches better than experience. I feel like we could talk for a while about this lifestyle choice and pursuit we've recently taken on. Wishing you well and I look forward to watching your journey
Just checked your channel. Where's your build content? C'mon, man, get to it. There ain't hardly enough cabin building content on YT. lol.
Check out Shawn James My Self Reliance. Watch the videos of his first cabin build and his second build which he did all by himself. He had no help when digging the cold room, etc. and putting on the roof. He put together a pully system for lifting his huge logs for the top of his cabin. Been following him for 6 years now. He is a VERY talented builder!!! @@rhymeswithteeth
Get the rubber/foam floor mats for inside the tent
If this is temporary, build a platform and put a yurt on it and focus on the main cabin in the spring ?
What is stopping you from buying a used atv or sled?
Might be more logical to wait until March to continue to fell.
Just hunker down and explore your property now
12k subs after one video. Amazing. Loved the first video and cant wait for the rest. Super impressive in the growth so fast. Not really sure how this is possible!!!
Also learn how to dampen your stove down so you can get better heat control and longer burn time. There is definitely a learning curve to it.
This man definitely knows how to work the camera. Enjoying watching this process and glad there is another episode. Can't wait to see the end results but love watching the journey.
I hope the black lab is okay! He looks just like my best-friend’s black lab! Defiantly keep him!
Dude, you’re a beast dragging all those logs!
This is great work man! Just a few advices:
1. Get timber tongs with a chain instead of a handle, then a pulling harness (I've used ones for pulling weight sleds at the gym) then you'll be able to pull bigger logs by yourself a bit more ergonomically.
2. Make a big tarp roof over your workplace for snow cover, you can both cover your logs and have a workplace without (more) snow. Fell 4 trees too thin for the cabin, make 2 big bipods lashed togerther with some rope, raise them with a thick rope anchored in the ground, diagonally up to the top of the first bipod, horizontally through the air to the top of the second bipod, then down to the ground to another anchor. Throw the biggest tarp you can find over the middle section and anchor the sides like a tent. I've built 12ft high, 15ft wide, 25ft long outdoor dining halls for camps by my self this way. Just prep the rope and tarp between the bipods before raising them, and use a strong enough tarp for winter winds :)
3. Get a manual winch or hoist block to get you out of tight spots (pulling stuck logs, raising the bipods mentioned above, pulling trees in the right direction when felling.
Good luck with your cabin and with Sophie Turner! Will be following this!
Just binge watched both episodes losing sleep but it was worth definitely need more content like this I love the fact that he’s learning 80% of it as he goes and he’s dominating
Can't wait to watch every episode. You are so positive in a very difficult task. Very inspiring to see. Good luck with your dream, I'll be watching
Oh…that reminds me, James. One piece of kit that will save you batteries/gas fumes…a carpenter’s axe. Great for de-limbing, peeling frozen bark, and squaring high spots in logs. Mine is a Husqvarna. About $100. Love it.
dude you'll never sell this cabin after all the hard graft your putting in, Good Work
Time to upload your next video. Im waiting!! :D
Idk why I’m so intrigued by your channel and especially your personality but it’s absolutely intriguing and entertaining. I love the outward emotion with everything out on the table. It’s so rare to find people who do and say as they please and seem to genuinely enjoy life. Keep it up stay safe, I can’t wait for all the future episodes. Oh and P.S. keep the quotes coming I love it!
As a 35 year old man that has built, and continues and to build an off grid homestead on a New Hampshire hillside, these videos warm my heart.
It is truly heartening to see people all over the world finding the good life and taking the risks to make it their own.
Manifest your dreams into reality. Everyone has this ability, it is truly a matter of willpower.
Also, I don’t have the energy to read 700 comments, but if you find this one, look into a “grasshopper” for moving steel pipe. Would work pretty slick for humping those logs around
This is going to blow up. Epic. I wish you were building in the spring, but it is what it is. Keep going.
great video and excited to see you finishing the cabin. My suggestion for dragging the logs is to use plastic slid lay the end log on the slid and pull from the other end. This will help lessen the friction on the ground and the snow definitely will help. Good luck and greeting from Kuwait
It would have to be think plastic not to crack under the weight and cold. Great suggestion though!
Really enjoy your videos and I admire your determination.. But if it is possible get yourself a capstan winch to save you back. To prevent logs from getting buried and frozen in, you can stack and place stickers between layers. I have built 2 log cabins, so I can really appreciate the work you are putting into this build. Keep up the great videos, I look forward to your next one.
My wife and I have been off grid in the White mtns of AZ about 15 years now. We did a shed to home conversion we built ourselves with solar and rain water catchment. We do composting for human waste using pete moss for the medium as digging here is very difficult. Very entertaining watching your adventure. When I watch your videos I'm ready to sell and head to Alaska, and then my wife reminds me that people in their 60's might be a bit late to the gate to get started with this level of adventure lol. Great job and thanks for the video's!
easts off a knife with the blade up.. genius. this is the best series ever.. send city slickers into the wilderness. starbucks coffee lol, this dude is glamping.. there's probably a store just around the corner.
Lots of good tips and suggestions here in the comments. It would be good to watch Shawn James My Self Reliance for more. Watch his earlier videos when he was building his first cabin and then watch the ones when he was building his second one. He put together a pully system to help him lift the huge logs onto the top of his cabin when he was building the ridge pole/beam. Anyways, looking forward to watching more of this build.
Here since day 1. So excited to see the growth on this channel! 🔥💪🏽🤞🏽
Day 1 was only last week FFS. Lol
@@katedaphne4495 Exactly lol 😂💀
Best off grid/homestead youtuber out there, this is the real deal from the start and I'm hooked. Have been looking every day for a new upload, when is the next video coming? :D
Keep it up man
Maybe lay two logs parallel and then cover with a bed of green pine needle or spruce branches and then stack the logs on that then another green bed on top. Cover with a tarp. You already have most of that ready and only costs a tarp 👍
if the logs are slightly to heavy, you can always make a little A frame and use its leverage to drag the logs bit by bit. its also hell of a lot work, but you don't ruin your back as quickly and are able to drag logs you wouldn't be able to carry otherwise.
I gotta say I hope you’re going to be producing lots of content as I am now addicted to your journey. Keep on truckin brotha 🤘🏻💚
Im wishing you all the best. I hope you find your adventuresome wife, there are a lot of capable, beautiful women out there who have done this same thing by themselves. If I wasn’t married, and a little too old, and already had kids and grandkids, and lived in the US, I’d be buying property next to you and building my own isolated homestead.
I am absolutely amazed by what your are doing. You live the dreams of many. Keep up the work, don't stop! You will not fail, too many people now depend on your progress videos spiritually and mentally. Cheers from Ukraine!
Really enjoyed your latest video! You’re making some great progress and again, love the fun you bring to the whole process! The dancing around that little oak tree had me laughing pretty good! Stay safe and see you on the next one!
This is so entertaining I loved it❤ you’re a man on a mission and I hope you succeed, you’ve defo got the charisma and let’s hope you’ve got the dedication too achieve your goals. I’m definitely a fan all the way from Cardiff in 🏴 UK 🇬🇧 XXXXX
I‘m so hyped to the next episodes
Nice vids, fun to watch for all of us wanna-be homesteaders. One recommendation; wedges.
Oh and two; RUN when that tree starts to fall, all kinds of bad can happen.
great video man, keep it up you got this
Love this type of stuff. This is going to be awesome. I'm hooked.
Hi and good evening, l was looking forward to seeing your latest episode last week so after a few more days I'm enquiring to see if you are safe & well? your doing a great project and think its marvellous to watch. so stay safe and take it easy ok :)
i love this guy haha
making the best time out what time there is
Nice work! I’ve been watching these with my dad he was saying u should get an atv or some vehicle to pull ur logs , save ur back lol! That’s my dad’s advice we have been really enjoying watching ur vids! Keep it up!
Stack your logs on a few smaller lengths, or even a bed of the limbs, and use 3, 2-3 inch thick lengths to build tripods at each corner with 2 taller tripods in the middle to help with snow clearing, may I also suggest you watch 'my self reliance' (if you don't already) for help with the build
Just here for a chance to see that doggo again
Don't forget you do have a Burch tree close to u grab the bark for the starter flames
Just hurry on the main structure! Stack big logs on top of smaller logs to keep from sticking and just get 4 walls up as soon as you can, that’s your best bet! Dirt floor cabin at first, gotta get a roof up
Right on man! Thats the plan! Walls up ASAP. Butt and Pass method. My steel roof is arriving Dec 15th. Then things should calm down from there. 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
Awesome, thanks for posting your adventure 👍🏻🍁
First off,great job fella,glad to see you living your best life...If I may,I would suggest u build yourself 2 or 3 heavy duty sawhorses.With afew planks spread across them they would also act as a work platform (to do your roof) or a tabletop / workbench. (save your back) Also I say cut more n more firewood for that stove and when you arent cutting more firewood,say too yourself "I should cut more firewood and keep my body temp up at the same time"
Luke from "The Outdoor Boys" youtube channels got your back if u need winter survival skills upgraded,look him up sometime.
Best of luck ,stay warm
The 2 stroke smell is the best part man! Use Klotz as your oil mix. Soooo good lol
Awesome work!
I hope that dog comes back Mann was thinking about it the whole of that first video
James your hilarious, stay safe, and strong from a fellow Canadian 💪
Keep it going , i love your videos
Man now that i have found your channel and Will Survives channel, You guys are living my childhood dream . I just need to get the land to start on . You guys are very inspiring & wish you the best of luck & safety on your journey this winter !
I pray the black lab comes back and enriches your life 💗
RIGHT?! News update: I discovered the dog belongs to a neighbour up the river. Apparently he is known to be a WANDERER!
Stage your logs after you cut them, lean them vertically against a tree, once you have a bunch staged, have your atv bud help. If your deadest on doing it by hand, get an old toboggan the wooden flat ones with a curved front. Lash the log to it, it will scoot along no problem.
Don’t do this
Hey loving your series so far keep up the hard work. A quad would be such a help for you around the property 😁
You got this! Love your goofyness :D
Take your smaller ends of logs and lay them diagonal under your logs. That will keep them off the ground. You could build a frame to hang a 20x20 tarp over your build site. Still will have to clear snow but you can slope it to where it will be on the low side.
Great videos
Where is the next episode?!
I don’t know what your finances are like but you can get a nice used 250 or 300 ATV to help live logs gravel etc, for as cheap as $500 if you can put some parts on them or $1000-$2000 for something nice, it would save your back, save you time before winter, and later on to help you grind stumps and cleanup the meado from the twiggy growth with a towable bush mower. Just a thought
This is an excellent idea GOOD SER! In early winter this is a strange time because it’s almost at the end of an ATV’s usability in central Ontario due to snow. Yet the snow is also not deep enough to really run a snowmobile and as far as I can tell snowmobiles aren’t as useful as ATV’s for doing tight quarter log hauling and winching etc. I’ll definitely be getting an ATV but I’m thinking of waiting until spring! Am I thinking right about this?
What about getting a tractor instead. A small one might just be the ticket.
They make snow plows to attatch to the front or back of the atv’s and you can pick up an atv winch to put on it too for like $250 brand new that way you could keep the trail to your car cleared and the build site cleared, also think about building a few wooded log saw horses that way you can pick one end of the log up and set it on the saw horses to save your back from bending over while peeling, if you can get a plow for the atv all you would need to due is clear enough snow to have the atv start on the solid ground and from there you can keep the area cleared enough to make the atv usable all winter. Then when you are setting the peeled love you can build tripods out of logs and mount the winch on it to pick them up and set them you would just need to hookup longer wire to reach the atv for battery power.
I’m thinking that if you get an ATV sooner than spring it’s going to help you with time! You could use it to remove snow and use it to move the logs. It would save you so much time, I would think. Love your channel! Please keep the videos coming. I know it takes a lot longer to do things when you’re recording and then it takes time to edit as well. But over 12k subs after the 1st video…….people are loving your content! You will be up to 100k, then 500k in no time. Your content is AWESOME! Living my dream life through your videos. Thanks for sharing with us!
Kubota tractor way more useful, just more $$$
OK, I just finished building a home for my family and so now I'm looking at your adventure with my 10y old son with a passion! (While my wife is sleeping on the couch next to us (no offence) ;-) I do have a suggestion / thought for building your homestead. You can build it 2 ways first the walls and then cutting the windows in, but if you already have the size or even better the windows you build around the window framing and door. This means you can do with shorter timbers which are easier to transport and handle. Also, a suggestion is to cut and directly use the timber because if the moisture in the wood freezes it will make your tools blunt in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work! Greetings from The Netherlands
Well, I've watch both your videos. When's the next one? That black lab experience was kind of odd. Tarps to cover logs and the logs raised off the ground on cribbing. The job site I think you're going to have to tarp and uncover the area you're working on. You should invest in a snow machine or four-wheeler with snow chains to help drag the logs around and to haul supplies between your car and the camp site. You might try a tow strap to drag the logs now that the ground is frozen and covered with snow. Also some kind of sleds to put under the logs to help drag them around might help. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
Start building and install every log you process that way there's daily progress and you don't have to worry about storing the logs
no because once more snow falls hauling those logs will be way more dificult
@@papafrank8900 really either way he's hauling logs in the snow that's why I said he needs a snowmobile or quad
@@benschlack5814 you didn't say that?
@@papafrank8900sure did I put two comments in a row, read the comments.....
@@benschlack5814 this one got more likes and I saw it first
Nice hack for making the tree fall in the direction you want : On the opposite side of the direction of fall, make a downward cut of about 45° angle. When your chainsaw is 3/4 of the way through the tree, hammer, some wedges where you started your cut. Cut some more, And drive your wedges deeper. The tree will fall exactly where you want.
When that dog comes back he needs a name. Your channel is really exciting and it’s a pleasure to join you,thank you for your generosity and acerbic wit not to mention your manly growling!
Go man go ! May the force be with you !
Don't hurt your back! There has to be another way to move the trees.
Really enjoying these videos, impressive! How did you prepare for this, did you already have some outdoors knowledge/experience? And how did you prepare financially/administratively (if you don't mind me asking)?
For the more finished cabin, I recommend getting a cast iron type stove, one that's a bit better rated for sustained burning! Maybe even a Swedish style cast iron stove.
Really appreciate you doing the 2nd video so quick. Hate waiting months between videos. So great job and I'm looking forward to number 3 video. Keep up the good work
I think the dude has died... no upload. RIP BRO
big camera personality leveling up all the basic survival skills. what a combo. who wouldn't tune into these! keep it up!
Should make a Paring ladder to move the big logs, this will save your back!!!
I would recommend a yurt as a temporary accommodation while you build your cabin. ❤
I’ll be watching every episode
I'm addicted to all ypur platforms! I hope you meet Sophie, love that your open to being a step dad and still want more kids!
Excited to see this build go up!
Love the international flare with language and other cultures along with your positive pioneer spirit.👍
just found your channel. so far you're doing good bud. .. i like that you're not a pretend "mr know it all" hard work pays off. subbed!
I need more episodes on the weekly. this is awesome
12.6 k subscribed in only two videos! This guy is growing quick. 👏
You have the BEST personality! Love yur enthusiasm, humor, and positive outlook! Im 70 now and wished i could have met you when i was 30...i wud have joined you ina heartbeat !
New sub from the uk, you are living a dream I wish I had 30 years ago, now I have to live my dream watching all these off grid videos . I’m really enjoying watching you and even better how your abs are going to look come summer 😍🇬🇧🇬🇧
loving this mate, looking forward to more vids. Hope things go well for you.
Outhouse. That just screams come live with me at my cabin!
My vote is for a quad tohelp pull the logs around the build site..............nice work so far. I'm jealous.....
Nice take on TH-cam videos :)
Make a small workspace in the forest near your build, with a Tarp roof and then make some work benches of the left over wood you have already chopped down, then you can also get your logs of the ground 🤩
And you can have work height table for the logs.
Dragging the logs, maybe use a sledge or get an Atv 🤩
