Building Log Cabin With Axe and Hand Saw | No Power Tools Or Machinery: How To
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Ep 7 - Building an 8x8 rough log cabin during fall of the year in northern Canada is no easy task. Add in the challenge of using only an axe, hand saw and multitool for everything from harvesting logs too notching roof beams made it harder again. By the end of this video you should have a realistic grasp on how the basic structure of a log cabin goes together.
Along with my good friend @djtudino we are putting all our 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 you too ,I'm so glad I found your channel. Been a woodsman in northern Minnesota all my long life. Love your ambition and know-how.
Curt at log camp.
Yeah Matty, so happy your cabin was under way before the snow hit and all seems to work out for you. Great little cabin. You didn't mention fishing ? Just wondering if you were still getting fish in your net? So looking forward to the next video. This is the only REAL bushcraft channel on UA-cam. Grateful Blessings
yes I was still fishing at this point, I did pull the net for a week though since I had such a stock pile and to free up more time for building. Ended up running the net on the open lake since the cove froze up. its hard to get it all into this little series, plan on sharing a full length version of this trip showing much more in depth look.
Matty you gotta speak man makes the videos hearing your explanations and the jokes are great, nice to get a great informational video to watch and get a chuckle at the same time and keep up the great work hope you stay safe and healthy and successful out there sir 🇨🇦💪
wow thanks Tyler, love getting some feed back on how to make the videos better for you. thanks for watching man
@@skoteoutdoors You're welcome man thanks for the reply! I love the videos and I've dreamed about doing something like this since I was 7 watching this is very inspiring to keep my dream alive to still do it when I'm able to I'm 23 but have to wait till I'm financially stable and fully prepared to leave for a trip and Challenge like that, again I look forward to seeing the next video sir be cool if you built a sauna after the cabin great way to help the muscles and stay away from illness, and be cool content off grid sauna with log cabin cut offs
I was so happy to wake this day and find your mug here to watch again. Impressed with how much you can do in a day. And your so wise with your decisions when to stop. Everything you are doing is cool. Love it man. And I am not alone...at this moment more than 25% who have watched have liked..... That is not the norm man... Crack on.
Crack on Michael, cheers mang
Best part of Sunday mornings!
thanks chef
@@skoteoutdoors if you’re ever around calgary, come by and have some prairie chicken. Little less flavour than those grouse, but more meat. I got a fox problem I could use your help with too!
Another outstanding video! Looking forward to the “move in” to the cabin!
Coming soon!
Again, great content. Hard days, good eats and good rest equals medicine for the soul. Thanks Matte.
My pleasure!
Get er done ! Impressive watching you build a cabin from scratch !
ground up baby, locally sourced materials
I far as I know, I have watched every video you have made to date. I have enjoyed each one for what it represented at the time you made them. One element is consistent throughout each video, and that is your resilience. Raw yet educational, humorous and entertaining, yet strangely profound as you logically work out the details, and lastly your indomitable spirit keeps me looking forward to the next video, which is your next adventure. Thank you so much for the effort you put into your UA-cam channel.
Wow glad to see you again ….. !
No speaking? That is crazy talk! I enjoy the talking, how would you express your sense of humour for heavens sake? hahahaha! Enjoying this series very much, thanks for sharing and keep up the chit chat! :) :)
bahah copy that!
The cabin is coming along nicely👌🏼
log by log boi
Just found your channel, like what you are doing and your delivery. Looking forward to watching your progress and your videos.
Really love your channel matty, wish I could be out there living the life with you. Living more free than most of us combined! Stay healthy and safe.
Looking good! Man, those logs look heavy. I can imagine how exhausting it is to work out there. Very important to take those meal breaks.
Brand new watcher here..and all I can type is...you're living the pure way man. I highly respect your souls intent on this little dream cabin in those perfect beautiful elements..
Thanks so much for sharing bro🤙
That was interesting to watch! Now I have some catching up to do to see what your up to over here😆
Keep on keeping on✌ Stop in for a visit some time👍
Marc
10:40 got me. Love the personality you bring out to the woods - keep it up man!
thanks for watching
Awesome commitment and wisdom.. knowing when is when. Thats the difference. Looking good brother
gotta listen to the body
Was just watching and wondering how you deal with the just nature sounds ….. I’m happy to hear you chat about the day and how you are feeling….. always some humorous comments…..
look forward to next week
during the summer and fall months hearing just nature sounds is actually very nice and it seems like my hearing tunes in more to the point where a small shift in the brush was very noticeable. in the deep winter however, once everything freezes up solid and all the critters hide away it becomes so quiet that it seems loud. no birds or anything rustling, sound of your own footsteps in the snow can almost be overwhelming after a long period in the bush alone.
for real bushcraft man,what happened to your other cabin?your the real deal kid love it!
At least one if the three of ya, is still out there bush whack in’ it. Lolz it was last year , I know. Glad Adam didn’t get et by the bear. Lovin these episodes! Ya need more moss in your house!
hahaha no bear eating yet
Cabin is coming along Matt ive seen a lot of people with all the tools and cant do what you are doing kudos Bud !
bahah nothin to it oh man
Love it! It always made sense to me to collect as much food as you can before starting a project like that. Nice job
yes I may have went over board with food collection, should have spent more time building and less time fishing and smoking fish
I love ur chennal.i like u to.take care and all the best for u.💋💋
This is the real thing! Which younger, that'd be fine. Now, automation all the way.
You have more tools than most of the old timers did so you doing amazing work
Loving the videos man keep them coming 👌🏼that’s a lot of dedication there but gonna be so worth it too.
Most definitely!
Estoy aquí por Chad zuber ,me gustó el vídeo que hicieron juntos.
Another quality upload. You're the man Matty!
Glad you enjoy it!
@@skoteoutdoors you produce some of the finest content UA-cam has ever seen! I always look forward to your uploads. You're doing the lords work bro
That is going to be an amazing cabin. Just wondering why, with all the trees about, why you haven't made your work easier by making a travois to haul the moss, your firewood logs,etc. Also a mallot instead of possibly breaking your ax handle driving those stakes? Such beautiful country there. Be safe.
speed and timing was the issue, I traded smart efficient work for fast hard work. Figure once I got started on making the systems better that it would be easy to burn up a lot of extra time getting carried away
Really appreciate your hard work and explanations. I’m curious why you wouldn’t cut your door way in as you go and perhaps a window hole. Perhaps there is a proper reason for it, I wouldn’t know?
if you cut the door as the walls go up then it would be much harder to maintain the walls to be straight and true. this is pretty standard way of doing it in my experience
Ps, I am glad you talk to "us".
thanks for the feed back, talking to the camera helps with being alone I think.
👍👍👍👍👍
Keep going buddy that cabin is coming along nicely.
Hey man ! great stuff as always ! the cabin is starting to take shape, it's going to be perfect ! just wondering why you left the bark on the logs? any reason or just didn't want to waste energy peeling them? Looking forward to the next video, Cheers !
exactly, left the bark on purely to save energy. to peel all those logs with a draw knife little lone an axe, would create so much extra labour. It hurt me a little leaving the bark on as I no what that's gonna do for the life of the cabin, plus dry bark falling inside for years to come.
Looks great what you have done so far . Keep it up
New to your channel. Can't wait to see the finished cabin. Nice video.
Welcome aboard!
@@skoteoutdoors thanks man.
I'd love to do the same thing I think it would be absolutely amazing to build a home in the wilderness from what mother nature provides
Did you buy the land? Or is that public land?? Living my dream.
🖖
I'm loving these videos thanks for making them. Just curious are you if Metis ancestry?
glad to hear that! and no I am not.
did lightning strike your tent or was that a bug with a long shutter speed ??
Hi Matty. You mentioned how this was different than the Yukon. How so? I’m just assuming it’s because you’re more separate from civilization and the supports you have access to. Also, can you tell me what you did with your dog from your time in the Yukon? Thanks.
You are an insanely hard worker, but your cabin will last longer if you strip off the bark, and put the logs on a foundation of stone! I'm guessing this isn't your last build anyway! Good luck out there!
yes your totally right, it was very hard for me to build this with the bark on as I understand what that means for longevity of the cabin. The only reason I didn't peel the logs is time and energy. this was a survival cabin which meant just getting it up. she's not built for a lifetime cabin, it is on a foundation of crushed stone though. shows it in earlier video.
What’s your source of fresh water?
all of my drinking water came straight out of the lake. I didn't boil any water for drinking what so ever and didn't get sick or stomach issues. the water was very clean.
take care of yourself ,make a good pace.
How do you get permission (or buy) land like this? This is my dream also.
Just found your page today and subscribed, really digging your content! That cabin is looking so nice, lots of hard work going into that build, looking forward to seeing it finished. Gonna be checking out the rest of your videos, keep up the great work! Shaun. Northern Wisconsin🌲
My hat's off to you bud. That's hard grueling work! I'm a builder myself and I'm not so sure I'd take that job on with minimal tools! I just want to send you a chainsaw 🤣 so whats your plan for the cabin? You staying there full time or just for a little while? Anyways much love from the woods of Maine!
Hello from Scarborough, Maine
Right on back to you bud! Bowdoinham here 👋
it was a lot of labour that is for damn sure. having a chain saw for the harvesting of logs would be great, but I really enjoyed using hand tools for the building part. plan is too stay at the cabin until freeze up and hunters from Natuashish begin to show up on snowmobile and give me a ride back out to town.
