A few recommendations to keep you alive and healthy: eye/ear/head protection. Widow-makers are common when dropping trees and a helmet can save your skull, even if you're left with a nasty headache. Chainsaw pants might be a worthwhile investment too. Also, a chainsaw with a chain brake is probably a good idea. I was shocked to see yours didn't have one. I've had two Poulins, a Stihl, and a Husky, all of which had chain brakes. Didn't even realize they made saws without brakes anymore. And a couple quick suggestions to make your work quicker and/or easier: google how to use your felling sights, purchase a quality chainsaw with felling dogs, and invest in a cummalong.. that will help tug all those trees that get hung up. Loving the videos, keep 'em coming!
a chain break is actualy not that important compared to chainsaw pants. its actualy very hard for the hand holding the chainsaw to come into contact with the chain. buts its alot easier for the saw to kick and cut your leg. alo
A chain break is more to protect a persons upper body and especially one's face during kickback, to the best of my understanding. When a saw kicks-back, it usually swings up towards the face, and the break can be triggered by either the forward hand or wrist against the chain-break lever, or it can be triggered by the inertia of the kickback itself.
Hi from Down under Australia,I am now watching your videos for the second time .I love your attitude never give up.You are setting a great example for young men.Keep doing what you are doing , I am a 66 year old male and have done some stuff you have done in my younger days.It has brought back some found members ,thank you for that .Kind Regards Robert Campbell from Maryborough Queensland Australia
from Scotland.... Great vid. it's good to see someone learning on the job and showing it to us. So often in these videos we are left with the impression that it's all seamlessly smooth.
Howdy ! Outsider from way Down south in the great State of Texas - Love seeing a hard working Young Man with your skills & determination achieving his & his Wifes Dreams! Your first Log Cabin was Beautiful and can't wait to see this new Cabin in progress to finish! Your Dad must be truly proud of the Man you've turn out to be! I built my own 3 bedroom Home, a 40' x 40' Barn & 2 acre horse pasture & stalls on 7 acres of Land over 30yrs ago when I was 25 yrs old! took me 3 years to clear the land install the Septic system & finish the builds so wife and I could move in just months before our first Daughter was born & wife and I did it all on our own! No better feeling in the world then to accomplish your Dreams!
Ireland love your channel esp the wild crafting :) keep it going learning lots here :) love the sharing going on all over UA-cam really appreciate each and every one putting out what they know and can do
State of Oregon in the U.S. Going to start homesteading this coming summer with family and really enjoy getting helpful hints and ideas for a more simple lifestyle. Keep up the great work.
Unless you just want the manual labor your need a couple of cheap tools: a spud chisel and a wire come along would help immensely. Also when falling take off your gear so you can move if the tree does something unexpected and move quickly. Good project. Doug
My name is Darren and from Canada, Nova Scotia. I really like your videos and am learning some valuable tips. Thank You so much keep up the great work.Can't wait to see the finished product when I'm done watching your videos.
Good luck with the rest of your cabin, I know how much hard work goes into building and maintaining them. I've had one here in Scotland for the past 40 years, and it's been well worth it. I live in Glasgow, but I have a cabin in the hills less than an hour's drive way. No electricity other then 12v for lighting and some 12v tools- I don't WANT any bigger voltage, if I had then maybe TV , computer, etc would follow! It's great to get away from crap like that, especially when the kids were young. I hope you and your wife are blessed with kids, and you take them to your cabin and show them nature, as I did with mine. There are too many soft, regimented and utterly useless folk around, it's good to see a young guy who can function well without all the luxuries of modern life (many of which are just BS anyway). I can tell by the way your spirit moved you to do your address from that rock crowned with a tree and greenery, and the pleasure you took from observing the grouse-like bird that you can teach your children well. PS, The two-pole lever -and -reel idea was inventive, but a light come-along would be a lot better. Or even a Spanish windlass, just the loop the rope around another tree and one spar.( use one bowline through the bight of another to make the loop, then they'll untie easily, just be careful with a Spanish Windlass though.
Happiness can be found anywhere Just because you like your cabin doesn't mean others will or should also Saying just because people like using technology makes them useless just makes you look like a grumpy old asshole Nobody judges you because of your cabin so you shouldn't judge how others do things
New Hampshire here. I've been watching for a while now and enjoying following your cabin build. Tip for felling: get a hand winch ( come-a-long) and either a good long chain or towing strap. Then fasten the chain or strap high up on the trunk using a ladder. Then you can winch the tree down through the branches. Also I find that when using a log lever if you place it under the trunk close to the butt and lift UP, the trunk will move along until the tree crashes down. Good luck!
I have watched only a few of your vidios and really like them, I live in Frenchtown Mt. USA (West-Central), I have enjoyed your build so far, good luck and may God bless you.
Shout Out from Oslo Norway. I'm an American Expat who is wanting to live off the grid, although a Tiny House on Wheels will probably fit my needs better as land is Far too expensive for me here.

U.S.A. (Florida). Don't build cabins but always wanted to. Always enjoyed peeling walking sticks, of which I've made a lot. Anyway, love watching log cabin builds and look forward to yours.
Im from the usa and I am looking to biuld a log cabin and I found that your videos explained more about how to biuld one than any other video thank you and keep making them
I'm watching from the United States-- Columbia, Missouri. I love watching you and your log cabin making. I dream of the day I can make and live in a log cabin on my Dad's farm in Amish country. The farm was sold out of the family long ago. You are very positive and encouraging.
In Atlanta, GA but from Michigan. :-) Happy building, Outsider. Thanks so much for documenting your experience. It inspires me to go build a tiny cabin...just as soon as I'm done building my tiny home. Godspeed.
Really enjoying your videos! Absolutely fantastic seeing what another fellow outdoorsman has to teach the world. Thank you from Carson City, Nevada, USA.
Hey, just found your videos, they are great. I grew up working cutting wood with my dad so to watch you doing it the old ways is refreshing. Branson, Missouri, USA.
Amazing difference in just a few days. We have a lot of trees to cut down on our homestead. I will have to ask the locals when the best time is for easy debarking. Thanks for sharing this.
That is pretty awesome to see your dad up there helping you, too many families done help one another anymore. Thanks for sharing this series, I will be back to see more, thanks again and have a blessed week.
Good vid, the trees are hard to work with.. N your choice of sizes was very good! Good over view for those who have not followed your journey, thus far. Keep up the good work.Thanks for sharing! ATB from Florida!
And shake the haters.your doing!,there giving opinions and showing. Way to go.you climbed every obstacle.and you kicked the nesting tree down in the spring.(the best time)ha.and you went and did.learned.and because of who you are you shared.not for glory or bragging rights,but simply to share.THANKS BRO.
Greetings from Germany and thank you for sharing this beautiful project with us on UA-cam, really appreciate it! Enjoyable to watch and also very informative, so thanks again and only best wishes!
Very interesting. I hope you continue these videos. I am now 70 years old and in poor health. I have lived my dream of being a mountain man. I am now both too old and in poor health to continue doing this. I am now relegated to only watching young people live their lives and dreams.
I am pleased that I found your videos. I don't watch TV for what I think are obvious reasons so I use UA-cam for entertainment and research. I stumbled across your videos about 6 months ago. I enjoy the scenery, watch how you come up with ideas to do the work with what is available to you, your humor, etc. Thank you and keep up the good work
Hello from Perth Australia. I'm an ex Canadian from Toronto North. Retired now. So I took an interest in your tree felling & getting hung up. Also debarking on 1 june when the sap starts to flow. Anyone who harvests Maple Syrup is familiar with running sap. We don't have the dense forests locally but down in our southwest & east of Perth we get a lot of Jarrah Hardwood & eucalyptus trees & some planted pine forests. My bush trips here are to our north west (Leanord) area where we prospect for gold nuggets & camp in a caravan or RV or trailer & Magiolina bed on the rack above the 4wd WHEN I'm on my own. Enjoy your videos. Cheers
Probably to late but, I'm in California, and we just bought 40 acres of forest land in sisiycu county. My husband and I want to build a cabin on it. So I'm watching your build! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making this series possible. I watched the $500 cabin video about 3 months ago and now stumble on this series (probably with the help of UA-cam and some of their cookies ...) . i've had this dream of building my own home for over a decade now ... and either I have the time OR the money but never both. I live in Quebec in the Eastern Townships, bordering Vermont! Thank you for realizing this project AND sharing it with all of us ! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Paul Rivard Thanks for taking the time to write Paul. It's wonderful to know that there are people out there, like yourself, that are enjoying the videos that i put out. I do hope that someday you will have both the time and money to pursue your dream. Happy New Year to you as well!
Molly Davis Thanks Molly! I'm glad you enjoy watching all the stuff I put out. My dad drove truck through Washington many times. He said it's a beautiful state.
Thank you very much for this educational, fun and interesting video. Beautiful explained and done. Love your humbleness on showing when things don't go as plan. It was awesome with what the old time farmers taught you about the bark and how it did work after all.Thanks again from Lawrence, Massachusetts.
4th will do for starters mate. Of course we love to watch your comings and goings around this cabin project, and what an asset the 'Old Man' is, that's an affectionate term for Father in this country. Would, that I could for mine, as does He! Your Country has a kinda lushness we can learn to yearn for, and it's a Green that pokes its nose at drought. Thoroughly enjoy every blade stroke. We'll be here when you move in! Melb.
USA. This is a great series to watch. Looking forward to this new cabin. Waiting until June 1st yields amazing results. Peeling the bark off in June off the felled tree looks so much smoother than using a draw knife, both in process and finish.
Really enjoying watching you go through this journey of building a log cabin. Keep up the good work. I'm from Miami, FL but currently living and watching from Honolulu, HI
David Castro Thanks David! Both locales sound awesome. The weather is already turning cool here, but I'm sure things are still nice and toasty where you are.
I am pleased to say that I am watching your entertaining and informative videos from within a state of the U.S. According to the USGS, based on the diversity of tree species and forest richness, I live smack dab in the middle of tree heaven! Roll Tide, Love your channel bro, keep up the good work, and thanks! God Bless!
Great cabin build! I love your videos! Cheers to you and your dad from Torrance, California here in sunny Southern California close to Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach in the South Bay Area.
Hello from Somerset, KY, United States :-) My husband and I are seriously considering building a cabin and trying our hands at homesteading, and we love your videos! I ran across the one on the $500 cabin and am starting on these now, and I'd like to say Thank You so much for sharing your journey. I am learning alot and watching you learn as you go has been very inspirational and encouraging for me! So, thank you once again for both teaching me alot and giving me that extra boost of confidence that we can begin this new chapter of our lives.. Although after 17 yrs. of marriage some might think we're crazy, lol :-)
+Debra McCormick That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that you've found my channel to be both inspirational and educational. Good luck to you and your husband! And thanks for following along with my journey.
I've always enjoyed the outdoors, though I haven't had too many experiences of living out there (besides camping with the Boy Scouts a while back). But anywho, I'm planning to build my own cabin when I'm a tad older with a job and all that (good ol financial security), so I was searching around the vast reaches of the internet and stumbled upon this channel, which to me has been both the most informative and fun series about how to go about making my dream come true! Thanks a ton for your videos! ~USA
Devin McSweeney Thanks Devin! I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the series so much. In the beginning, when I was researching how to build log cabins on the internet, I was surprised by the lack of useful information on them, so that's when I decided to start posting videos on the subject.
Currently watching from Milton, Washington. Moving to Wasilla, Alaska in about a month. And my girlfriend and I will be building a log home there. She has saved your videos to her computer. Thanks for all the great info.
A big ol' cheers'en from Dartmoor, south west UK! Loving the series and can't wait to one day find a little corner of the earth to whip one of these babies up!
I'm watching from Wisconsin on the United States. I love your channel, everything about it is so interesting and educational. Thank you for sharing this to the world! Excellent job :)
Seems that I'm showing up late to the party, but thanks for sharing your adventure with us. I'm starting on my own Log / barn home this week in a rural area in central Florida. Every bit of good advice is appreciated!
I was born in England but lived a chunk of my life in Australia, now living (14 years) in Japan. Great series, great channel. I subbed a few days ago and have been trying to catch up. Thanks. Paul.
What is so encouraging about this video is that you show your failures and struggles. This let me feel like i can do this too. USA
Jason Williams Glad you're enjoying the series. Thanks for watching Jason!
Adding this one, 9 years after the OP: Agreed. Your videos are really neutral and unbiased on the skill context, and it feels inspiring. Thank you.
South Bend, Indiana USA. Just found your channel. I’m a Pastor and it’s great to see a channel the entire family can watch. God’s blessings.

Then fasten the chain or strap high up on the trunk using a ladder. Then you can winch the tree down through the branches. Also I find that when using a log lever if you place it under the trunk close to the butt and lift UP, the trunk will move along until the tree crashes down. Good luck!

Ok so I know this video is 3 years old but I have a question. Why do you start cutting so far up and leaving that much of a stump? Tnx
Mitja Berdajs it is a lot wider than the rest of the tree
Cut the stumps afterwards and using for kindling.
Probably to save his back so he doesn't need to lean over as much, gives him more flexibility also for felling the trees
if you've ever ut down a tree you'll learn its never really worth it

David Castro Thanks David! Both locales sound awesome. The weather is already turning cool here, but I'm sure things are still nice and toasty where you are.
I am pleased to say that I am watching your entertaining and informative videos from within a state of the U.S. According to the USGS, based on the diversity of tree species and forest richness, I live smack dab in the middle of tree heaven!

Hello from Somerset, KY, United States :-) My husband and I are seriously considering building a cabin and trying our hands at homesteading, and we love your videos! I ran across the one on the $500 cabin and am starting on these now, and I'd like to say Thank You so much for sharing your journey. I am learning alot and watching you learn as you go has been very inspirational and encouraging for me! So, thank you once again for both teaching me alot and giving me that extra boost of confidence that we can begin this new chapter of our lives.. Although after 17 yrs. of marriage some might think we're crazy, lol :-)
+Debra McCormick That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that you've found my channel to be both inspirational and educational. Good luck to you and your husband! And thanks for following along with my journey.

That’s amazing! I hope y’all went for it. Life is really short, you know. 😌 oh & congrats on ur now 19 yrs of marriage!
Thanks Outsider for the awesome videos. From AZ.
I've always enjoyed the outdoors, though I haven't had too many experiences of living out there (besides camping with the Boy Scouts a while back). But anywho, I'm planning to build my own cabin when I'm a tad older with a job and all that (good ol financial security), so I was searching around the vast reaches of the internet and stumbled upon this channel, which to me has been both the most informative and fun series about how to go about making my dream come true! Thanks a ton for your videos!

Devin McSweeney Thanks Devin! I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the series so much. In the beginning, when I was researching how to build log cabins on the internet, I was surprised by the lack of useful information on them, so that's when I decided to start posting videos on the subject.
Enjoy your videos so far. I,ll stay tuned. From Virginia.
+J F Thanks for watching!
