Welcome to Lumbering Shenanigans!

In 2019 I embarked on an adventure that would change my life.
I ditched the rat race, cashed in my savings and bought a forest in America's spectacular and verdant Pacific Northwest. My plan is to devote all of my spare time over the next few years to projects like off-grid cabin building, creating hiking trails and campsites, and general land steward projects as I transition this once neglected woodland into a sustainable off-grid homestead.
This journey wouldn't be possible without the dozens of TH-camrs whose channels have inspired and empowered me. So I've decided to do my best to give back to the community and share my own adventures on this channel.
Thanks for watching.

Just found this channel. Looks such a great and worthwhile project. Following and waiting with great anticipation to see what you have planned. Great stuff!

Oh wow. Thank you, that’s lovely to hear. If I’m honest I’m not sure “planned” is the right word, but I do have about a million projects I hope to randomly attempt, from renovating an old outdoor shower, trail maintenance, building more cabins, building a wetland boardwalk, camping decks, forest rehabilitation, landscaping, even the planting and (fingers crossed) actual growing of food. Thanks for putting your faith in me. Please let me know if I get boring.

Thanks, man! Welcome. I’ll do my best to keep things interesting. :) Black Oak Forest looks like a beautiful spot. What part of the world are you in?
