  • After the video "One Year Alone in Forests of Sweden | Building Log Cabin Like our Forefathers" a lot of you commented: "Where Is The Door!!!"
    Log Cabin Build EP 18: I open up for the door and more...
    I edited out a lot of the sawing as I guess you don't want to see that.
    If you're new:
    Hi! When I was 18 years old I ventured out alone with only a backpack full of simple hand tools to actualize my dream. Build my own traditional off grid log cabin by hand from the materials of the Swedish wilderness. Just like our Forefathers did.
    I had no previous experience in building, gathering materials or filming. So I started studying myself the old arts and learning from my grandfather and mentor Åke Nilsson. I began to cut down trees and film with my phone, learning as I go. My project started full time once I graduated high school in summer 2019. I film everything myself and edit these videos so you can follow my journey and hopefully learn as I do.
    Remember to subscribe so you can follow my journey! Enjoy the video!

    The awesome thing about this is that he doesn't put music in the videos and let the raw sounds of nature and his tools for us to listen. It's such a joy watching this, and can't wait for the final result.

    This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

      He improved a lot in the last year. If you saw his first video when he started chopping down a tree, his accuracy wasn't bad but average at best (his technique was good though, he definitely learned before he started).
      Now he can hit exactly at the centimeter he is aiming for. And no wonder after working over a year on the same stuff... probably with more work hours than a he'd have in a full time job.

    Today's people are so disconnected both in terms of our history, where we come from and not least nature's pantry - Relax ... Here in Sweden we have woodwork in school, grades 3-9.... We are not seldom born and raised in a wooden house of some kind ... It's all about context and history - Sweden is 70% covered by forest and the rest wetlands, lakes, mountains ... Only 3-5% is built-up land - We also have something called "right of public access" "which means that all land may be used by all ... Camping, making fire, building temporary huts of fallen trees ... All with the responsibility of the individual to clean up after himself, so that the place looked like it did before - Furthermore, when it comes to felling trees, you must by law plant what you harvest.
    Sweden's soul is trees, trees and trees again ... From Viking ships to today's modern wooden houses.
    Poor people of today who ignore history / context ... They are the problem!

      Makes me wonder about the context of these buildings in the past - was it done by a family, or collectively by the wider community? It's fascinating to see it being done by one person, but it immediately seems like a job that would be speeded up hugely by, say, 4 men working together (and then the favour would be returned). In my country, England, I think the business of building houses was done by local builders quite early on (8th century on?) rather than by each family.
      Also, were people able to pick a place to build, or was that decided by large landowners?

So there were not many neighbours around. In case the next neighbours were not too far away, they still had a path of considerable length between them and animals, farmland and possibly another job like carpenter to take care of during the day.
      As he said there is a law of public access, which apparently means you can build such a wooden cabin anywhere in the forest for as long as you plant the same number of trees afterwards which is pretty cool. In Germany and England there were always a dozen people around to help building a house because everyone was living in villages. Therefore people had larger farmhouses and didn't live in cabins but they also had to have a stricter concept of land-ownership to avoid quarrel.

    Just imagine the amount of footage he had to go through and edit to make this video... if it really took him a year to do this, which I 100% believe since he didn't use a single power tool... then he had weeks of raw video footage to review and cut down to a few hours for the series of these videos. that was probably more tedious than building the dang cabin itself.

    The most impressive part of this is the fact that he or someone in his family owns all that land

      Land aint worth too much in certain areas in Sweden. I got a semi-local deal for sale, for a house, a guest house and about 45 acres of land strewn about a peninsula and several islands in a large lake, all workable forest if you got the energy for it. No price is put up on it yet, but I don't think it will surpass $400k since it's in the northern part of the country,l and not that many wants to care for 45 acres of forest, let alone 8-9 islands.

      Northern part of Canada has (still) very cheap land...just no infrastructure, so you really have to way to get to it. Even 20 years ago, land was super cheap near my city.

      @@Hadmin Wow! I didn't know that was the case there, I always assumed small country = expensive land. I know many might frown upon foreigners owning lots of land, but hearing this makes me want to move there as I come from a place with very little infrastructure anyway, and I have always loved being in the wilderness with my friends(although South African wildeness is probably very different from Scandinavian wilderness!)
