- EP 8- Cabin Build Part 2.. Finishing the walls I move onto cutting out the door and putting in some roof beams. Winter arrives and brings with it some bad weather. Dealing with cold hands all day is starting to wear me down. Having to rely mainly on fish to sustain myself while I finish building the cabin. Hunting and trapping is on hold until I can get moved in.
Putting all my survival, bushcraft, primitive hunting fishing and building skills to the ultimate test of survival. Being dropped in northern Labrador without food and only 10 survival items, along with a ton of batteries, solar panels and camera gear to film a small Hollywood production.
Tune in every Sunday for a new episode right here on Skote Outdoors.

Love this cabin. Looks so much more rustic having the bark on. Wonderful job.
Thanks Joseph, I also love this little cabin. It does give it a entirely different look with the bark. However I wouldn't suggest it since this will make the logs rot faster
Your always positive attitude is nothing short of inspiring…. It is so good to see you “high on life”…. Crack on Matty….!!
crack on kids!
Such a nice cabin and rugged country. This is amazing. I’ve just built a small cabin in the bush near me. A lot of fun building it and more fun using it. Keep up the good work buddy
That is awesome! sounds like a great time
Hell yes sir, been saving your recent videos to binge watch and just watched them last night only to wake up to a new upload this morning. Hope you're staying safe and sane matty, wish you continued health and happiness man.

You have such a wonderful attitude

Il a du courage !
Time to head home buddy.

Thanks Julien! Copy that
You would make a great contestant for the history channel show "Alone". Half a million bucks to do what you're doing!
Just love your attitude, ingenuity, skills and love of life and yourself. Wonderful job and another great video. Look forward to the next one. Blessings
glad to see this name in the comments again... thanks for your support!
You squat on Crown Land and cut down it's trees!?
@@vitalucas9452 boooooo!!!
Very entertaining next video
Hell yeah
Top quality content right here
Ehh thanks Hayden!
LoL "Thank the b'Jesus" Yes my son. By George that plate of fish looked gooder than rabbit !! New subscriber here.
Love the accent and the phrases. Both of my parents are from Deerlake and most of my cousins too. I have always loved the Newfoundland and Labrador accent. I was conceived in Stephenville but was actually born in Halifax Nova Scotia and have been here for 57 years. I was in Bonavista last March....just ahead of the Spring icebergs sadly. But the trip across the island was nothing short of beautiful as always. Where are you in Labrador? Looks gorgeous.
Look forward to watching more videos. Until next time my good man. Cheers and happy hunting, fishing and gathering.
ouuu bonavista is one of my favourite spots back home, so so beautiful. glad to have ya join the community!
Life vicariously. 🤘😎
Another great video Matty , loving this Labrador series !!! Wicked job on the log cabin with what you had to work with ! Cant wait for next week , keep em coming buddy !!!!!
The dude is no longer in the Yukon because he was kicked out for having illegally built on land he didn't own. This isn't the 1600's. I understand he's moved to Labrador.
@@ApexWoodworks Yukon has gotten gentrified...40 years ago folks were living in wall tents with hippykiller stoves ..plenty of squatters..the joy and freedom has gone out of it..but seeing this lad persevering is delightful ..he's got grit.
been binge watching as just found you! can't wait til next week to see the roof on the cabin! amazing & inspirational! 😊🙏🏼
nawww this makes me happy to hear! thank you and welcome to team Skote!
Omg ….. jesue take the wheel….

Getting closer to the finish line Matt , reminds me when i was a kid i built a few log forts with a axe hand saw and my pocket knife

you really are frikin awesome!
its all in the camera angles im telling ya
Matty ya old dog, I just wanted to stop by and say your videos are the highlight to my workweeks! You put them 'Alone" contestants to shame. Keep em coming! Also, once you're on the last video or two of the series I wish you'd let us know, we need to know to savor them a little extra. LOL love ya boyo

Copy that
Cabin is really coming together, fantastic build! Your eyeballing it measurements are right on, excellent job! Can't wait to see you move in and make it home. Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Your "common sense" engineering is remarkable, and you are a hero in my book, and gives yet another event for the weekends..... keep them coming man... looking forward to a hunt or a fish and you munching on the next bit of wild! many thanks. Michael.
when there is time to sit back and head scratch then it all comes fairly easy. this all looks much harder then it is.. 90% is in your head, the rest it just a lot of labour
Fair enough, but your modesty and calm is very attractive, just like the structure itself.
AWESOME DUDE, hello from New Mexico, USA. It's going to be 100 degrees Fahrenheit here today. I'll trade you some weather for a day!
ouuu hot dang that's hot! Hope ya stay in the shade down there, can imagine a little how ya feel... drove through the Mojave last early July.. no ac in the rig.. damn near died lol
My wife and I just binge watched several hours worth. I'm going out to our off grid property in Nikiski, Alaska to start our cabin this week. Epic stuff Man! Much Love from Nikiski, Alaska! Subbed and shared!
looking good man gona be a warm place this winter
First off CONGRADULATIONS Matte! It's has been said before but your positivity and creativity taking on these challenges leaves one in awe. Amazing what you have accomplished with a hand saw and Leatherman. Just wondering if you had a spare Leatherman seeing how important it is to your success. You have a great spirit that should be seen by more 5000 subs!
I want moss between the logs as you build and love the cabin!
Glad you like it
nice video
We built one about this size, in 1989, when we were teenagers in Newfoundland. Unfortunately we had to use Balsam Fir which is very messy due to the resin and the knots are hard as rocks. The cabin is still standing so I've been told.
Been watching since the old vids in Alaska. Really inspiring and wishing you the best.
I appreciate that!
😀👀👏👍!!! As we continue to follow🌝.....
Wonderful
hell ya anouther grate video cheers from rocky
Just came across your page!!! Absolutely love this!!! Very inspiring! Proud of you brother!!!
Thanks and welcome
Do not be proud of this fake you tuber. He has taken land that is not his, has no approval and courts have ruled against him. He has to revolve this fake cabin and restore land to its natural habitat. That and the others right next to him.
Man this reminds me of the feeling when I was almost finished building my hut. I recall being anxious to spend the night inside.
Great stuff buddy ! Loving the series. We should get together for a week in the backcountry if you're home this Fall.
That would be cool!
Cabin taking nice shape, looking good. Be safe.
slowly but surely
I love your videos. Nice work👍
You inspire me bro
glad to hear that mang
"A whole lotta first class eye ball work and a little Jesus take the wheel"....hahahah Great Episode again
That is some awe inspiring work right there! Thank you so much for the video.
You are so welcome!
Awesome job man.
You're looking healthy man. Maybe most importantly pay attention to your teeth, hair and nails. Those reveal rasily when stuff goes wrong.
thanks glad you enjoyed it and yes your right. staying healthy and clean when surviving like that is vital
awesome channel, from a fellow Newfoundlander. Some of the best outdoor content on UA-cam. look forward to seeing many more.
always stoked to see a fellow Newfie in the comments! thank you sir glad to have ya
Hey man ! great episode, the ol' Cabin is going up quick ! I cant wait until you get your first night in there. Cheers buddy !
ehh glad to see ya back here! thanks n glad you liked it! be sleeping inside in no time sir!
Love watching your channel!! Been following you since the beginning. Keep it up Matty!!
thank you for the support

Just found your chanel, great job. All best from Europe

Great video keep up the good work I thought I watched everyone you made I didn’t Hear what happened to the little black and white dog what happened to him anyway great job keep up the good work
The black and white dog us named Ronnie. He's still with me, for various reasons he couldn't join me on the labrador trip but you will see him on here again soon!
@@skoteoutdoors ok thanks ..i glade he's ok keep on keeping on!
Bien esa cabaña hermano me quiero ir a vivir a Alaska al bosque entre las montañas y vivir esa vida natural comer truchas y Alces cierbos de lo que sea no tengo problema si se que tengo que aguantarme la nieve de tantos eses pero despues se te hace costumbre pero se que hay mucha vida salvaje tu cabeza esta mas tranquila se acabaron los problemas una ves al mes bajas al publo para cobrar y comprar mercaderia y a otra cosa me gustaria irme a Alaska oh a Canadad pero a los bosques no a la ciudad no no es asi te mando un abrazo mandame videos te saludo de Argentina
eso suena como un gran plan. Soy un poco parcial, pero sugiero Canadá lol viniendo de un lugar como Argentina que es conocido por mucha tierra salvaje, te sentirías similar aquí. ¡gracias por ver!
Back to your glamping, eating fish-head soup & chopping wood in the cold...
great job no windows not for me but you like it as i said good work
“Silence the inner bitch”!! That goes into the personal repertoire. Love it. Well Done!!!!!!!!
Time to set some snares for some rabbits or squirles (spelling) or do some more fishing
agreed, kinda got the blinders on once I cracked onto this cabin. The plan was to really get into trapping once the cabin was done and snow down. ... fishing coming up in the next ep !
People usually debark trees when building a log cabin. What's your experience with undebarked logs? I'm guessing it won't last as long?
leaving the bark on is a major no no, the only reason I left it on is because it was a survival camp and I didn't want to waste the extra calories on peeling the logs. leaving the bark on will not only shorten the cabins lifespan by making the logs rot.. but it will always be a pain for cleaning inside since the dried bark will keep falling down a little at a time.
Also got a question - did You came across any mushrooms to add to Your menu ? Would be good with meat and the fish too. Just saying
yes there were a few mushrooms out there, I didn't bother with them much
Did you want to only use handtools, or is it all you had to use?
only brought these few hand tools with me, wanted to really see how it is without modern power tools.
Im from dawson and I'm first nations, what they did to you was bullshit. But I understand why, squatting is getting bad here. What you should do is just ask someone in town who is FN to buy it from you so you dont have to take it down. Then rent it for $1 a month from said person. Good luck my man
Just a question - wouldn't be better to remove the bark? In my experience the bugs will attack the log and it will deteriorate faster. This is at least usual here in middle Europe (I am involved in renovating and building log cabins for hikers so this is a standard practice here). But maybe we have just more moderate climate and thus higher risk for wood.
You are totally right Pavol, the bark should always come off. The reason I left it on is that calories and body fat are very valuable out here and I didn't want to waste any of it peeling logs for a survival cabin. In a real life long term survival I imagined that leaving the bark on is justified even tho the cabin will rot much much faster
@@skoteoutdoors thank you, I was originally wondering if you are in much colder climate than ours so maybe the process of decay is not that fast. But I get it that you need to economise on calories output.
Here is an example how we build a log cabin (hay storage) built from oak and poplar on my YT channel: ua-cam.com/video/OEqwpIIvYQY/v-deo.html
@@Pali65 the climate of northern Labrador is arctic and the rest is sub-arctic
Great videos. How often do you have to sharpen your tools? And With what ? Thanks for sharing!!
the knife gets sharpened all the time, axe not so much and saw not at all. The lethermen multitool I brought with me has a small removable file that worked pretty good to keep an edge. The steel on the axe is so good and I was always so careful with it that she would only need a gentle rub here and there.

Бревна шкурить кто будет?
да там и пазов продольных нету)))
is the cabin that you had to burn down?
You got to get to adulthood to start using all the school geometry knowledge lol
"silence my inner bitch"...that's a keeper
Did I hear him right when he said November f i did it’s from last year or another year
?
I think he's wondering was this 2021 or another year.
Yes this was 2021.
That's too much work bro. U need a chainsaw and if ur just trying to make something simple to get u out of the elements u can get slabs from a mill which is the extra wood they trim when they make 2x4's etc. And they weigh a lot less too. Those big logs are really hard to move and get into position ,😁
yess a chainsaw woulda made short work of this camp no doubt, wanted to experience it with only hand tools this time.
Wth do you live that makes winter cold arrive so fast. In Texas here in houston it’s hot as a witch tit.
hahaha no doubt I bet it is!
Just started following you after reading about your tribulations with the Yukon government on CBC today. From what I see so far, Yukon should have commissioned/ promoted you as a wilderness educator instead of treating you as an illegal squatter. Anyway, it's their loss and I wish you well in Labrador... and as an inspiration to others tired of a digitized, prefabricated, spiritlessless existence.
54'sec - what is that in the background ? a car, trailer ? hmmmm
He's kinda on an island thats only accessable by plane or boat in the spring-fall, and plane, dog sled, and snowmobile in winter. No way a car or trailer could make it there.
54 sec in? Still in the tent, no car fits in there
not sure what you are seeing there but I would be very surprised if there was a car in the background.
niceee, u knows
she is a decent size tent don't forget
what's your go-to axe there, sir?
Gransfors Bruk is what I brought for this trip. Full length felling axe. This thing was literally a full bush saber, really kept its edge also.
Here's a link to the exact axe I used.
www.gransforsbruk.com/en/product/gransfors-american-felling-axe/
Yeah they are beautiful. Expensive, but they also perform. I have their large splitting axe and their splitting maul to split the majority of the 8 cords of birch I burn each year. Fabulous tools. I speculated that was the axe you had. Awesome.
I'm so sorry you have to tear it down. It's been my dream for years too. It ain't right what they do. We all know no crime was committed.
Wrong. Educate yourself.
