Skote explorer Matty Clarke explaining life in the woods behind the camera. Taking some time to spread out from the cabin and see other parts of the area. Spring comes in the form of a Grizzly bear. Luckily the trusty side kick Ronnie did his thing and scared ol Yogie away.
your work is extraordinary, and your filming intuitive, keep up the wonderful work. Love to live vicariously with you...
Wow, thank you!
I love your videos. You are taking ba big slice of life, something not everyone does. It's very interesting watching you in your pursuit of life as you want to live it.
Right now James looks great 👍 👌 😀 👏
Thanks 👍
Stumbled on your vids buddy and they’re wicked. Definitely got a new sub. Your intro’s and footage is sweet. Hope to see more
Dude your videos kick ass this channel is gonna explode!
glad you like them
he's trespassing and is a illegal squatter btw.
Hey you are a cool Dude... Love your Videos ... Keep it real and don't apologize about nothing
absolutely awesome accomplishments...very inspiring!
This is the best series I've ever seen on UA-cam by far
Just discovered your channel, love it brother. It's been a dream of mine for far too long. Thanks for bringing it to life for me. As soon as I get my new phone up and running, I'll be subscribing for sure. This is a great one thanks again.
Glad to have you aboard. Comments like this really hits home for me, ultimate goal is to help ignite that spark for others to get out and chase there own dreams
commenting to support
Looking great
Very excited to see more of your channel and I’m glad I found you don’t let the statists get to you bro
Appreciate that
Have you discussed with the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in?
All 865 of them? What were they using the land for? Looks pretty barren to me.
@@jordandahm9586 it is not his to take. This is their lands, and ... Guess what.... They don't have to rip down the trees to use it.
@@tylociraptor8131 you do if you need a house or for warmth. I been to the Yukon millions of trees city boy
@@snakeplisken4119 I am so sorry for your parents.
@@jordandahm9586 actually probably not very much. The Yukon is crazy "not populated" out side White Horse. He just made the mistake of building near others otherwise it likely preaty easy to disappear up there from that I experienced
Love this one Matty
thanks for watching!
You rock young man
Thank you Ken!
machine bro, LIVING
I hope you know how much we love these videos and your work! FANTASTIC job!!!
Hi, I recently read a news article about your situation, and watched all your build videos. I respect what you created and did some builds similar myself when I was younger. Time passes. I am recently being asked to relocate a historic cabin and was researching techniques. Some people move them in one piece. I'm not sure what the details are of what you are up against, but I had the idea that during frozen times things can slide, and in the summer the river is the access. The logistics may not be practical, but what about an ice-proof house boat. A convex shaped ' barge' would float on water and rise out of the ice as it froze and still be able to be moved. Maybe a platform between two cylindrical pontoons could support your cabin, a deck and some greenhouse space. The cylinders would either have to be of a large enough diameter (living space if insulated) to float everything above their midpoint or have an internal heat source to make the ice lift them as it forms. I don't know what the legality of houseboats is up there, but it's just an idea I had. Sometimes large diameter fiberglass tanks come up for sale as salvage. My brother bought one 20 years ago, I think it was 8'x 20 ' ribbed with rounded ends, he lived in it before he built his house. The long dark winters can't be easy, I wish you good fortune.
your Newfie mom must be very proud to see her progeny challenge himself the way you are doing.
carry on
By invading and destroying someone else's property with other people for his UA-cam channel? She'd have to be some mess to be proud of that..
"good ol Marijuana" haha. Subscribed!
I love your sheer competence. I know so many people who can't mow their own lawns or vacuum their cars. You're living my dream! Good luck, keep going.
I know many before me have probably said, amazing! To you and your drive and for this amazing life is a absolute thrill. Thank you for sharing. 🌸
hey how did you manage to charge your cameras and batteries for your tools?
Good luck on the next chapter bro. Thank you for sharing your inspirational progress
Matt you made the front page of the guardian in the UK. You are blowing up all over the world brother. Remember me & Zac from Robert’s place? Keep it real Nancy
Great episode Matt! You’re quite the resilient young man and proud of all you’ve accomplished. Uncle Steph and I can’t wait till the next episode.
Thanks Aunt Lois!
Why are you being sued by the government for illegally squatting?
And why don’t you mention the other girls that are squatting in illegally built homes as well?
@@justinlewis9663 iLlEgAl 🤪🤪🤪 Says who? Who owns that land who gave the government that authority? You are delusional just because you write something down on a piece of paper doesn’t make it moral or just what Matt did is an inspiration fuck the federal government
Good work 💪
Thanks Lila
Time for another video. Whatever your doing is fine , I'll enjoy it.
In and out of court for illegally squatting on land that's not theirs is fine? lol Bunch of hippies that think everything is free. Luckily him and his neighbors have been ordered to remove all structures, return the grounds to what they were and stop pretending he's living alone lol Ok the last ones not a court order but is true.
hell yes brother doing it right
good things take time, i,ll be waiting
Indeed they do sir
Matt what has happened with the cabin? I saw that you were ordered to take it down because of the land it's on. Can we get an update?
@Tony M ahh makes sense as to why he's not updated us lol. This is very sad. Hope he can recover from this loss and rebuild his dream cabin elsewhere on land he has rights to.
I came across your instagram a year ago while browsing #yukon beautiful wilderness. Then saw your videos and having in mind that what we are seeing is a dessert without an effort or a hard work, I really enjoy it. Greetings from Lithuania!
Holy cow Lithuania ! That's a run from Yukon Aiste. Glad you found it, hope you stick around!
I’ll watch whatever you put out, no matter how long it takes! I truly admire your attitude and spirit!! I enjoyed seeing your dog help you dig those post holes!!!
Two other cabins are located less than 850 metres from his. He is not alone. The three cabins have been built on public land and the government is requesting that the cabins are removed and the land restored,
Mate,
I found this channel after your visit with Chad Zuber….and I kid you not, I’m hooked. So much more my style. So impressed with what you’ve done. The cabin…even that kitchen!? I’m a builder/Chippy and so damn impressed with what you’ve achieved.
My only worry, is that I’ll run out of vids.
Keep it up, pat your dog for me and keep on rolling.
Much appreciated and good vibes your way.
Rob J, Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
Wow Rob dude this is great reading this, so glad to have you join the clan.. no worries about running out sir, bigger issue is getting it all edited lol
Chin up, and keep on keepin’ on me old trout!! Proud to be a Newfoundlander!!
Best channel. Looking forward to more! We used to build saunas like your greenhouse when I used to work up in the Yukon.
Thanks Geoff! Saunas eh? Shit I bet that was fun.
Dude....keep truckin
Hey brother, I just came across your channel and would love to find a means to contact you. I have a few questions. First of all, congrats on your journey, I very much admire what you are doing here and it even motivates me in my own way to pursue my own wildlife adventure. I see you building your own homes in your videos, maybe I missed this in a previous episode but did you ever take carpentry courses or any sort of building courses or did you study and learn this on your own? Good luck on your future endeavors.
lol this idiot is poaching on first nations lands and is rightfully being sued
Make sure you own the land before doing so
@@nakulah isn't that up to the first Nations to decide if him being there is a bother or not. I heard it wasn't. I could be wrong but from what I read, it's not an issue to locals.
@@charlesfullmer4662 well, you're right about that. Societal and government standards say that we have to pay for land and pay taxes on said property. Which is its own conversation because what other animals beside human beings pay for land. We are full of ourselves when we believe we can actually "own" land. There was a point in history when people didn't and we made homes and had the resources like earth, water, air and fire to help us survive like other animals use. He basically just built a home out of the environment but somehow his labor costs him, it's just funny that a man who has to work so hard to live can still be threatened. If you live in a major city with the conveniences that the government provides then maybe you pay more for that convenience but this man literally lives almost completely off grid and has to fend for himself without government aid but they still want something. If you think about it, it's crazy but yeah you're right...you owe something to someone in this life no matter where you are funny enough if he didn't post videos or promote publicly what he was up to he probably would not have been caught so early.
@@jonpray I think about it like this, they're using him as a example not to do that. Why? Because if he gets to do whatever he wants, what's stopping me from joining him? What would stop a whole town from doing what he is doing? Yes it doesn't seem that big of a deal but rules are rules and if people find out that those rules aren't enforced. Well, we can only imagine how that would go. The only thing stopping a cult from forming there is to get rid of him before it's to late. And we all know what happens in cults. Anyone who joins him will see him as a leader. That's exactly how a cult starts
Way to go Matty, these vids are so damn good! Can’t wait to see what’s next!!
Him tearing it all down and putting it back like the court ordered him to do hopefully. Since it's not his land but just from looking at him I bet he doesn't pay the fine or clean up the mess he made on someone else's property.
Thanks for the nice videos! What chainsaw machine you are using to cut your flat pieces of wood? Do you have a link to share? Thanks! ;o )
Cheers
this is the most hardcore guy on youtube, you sir are legit a.f and a certified bad ass! living the dream
He's also been kicked off that property with his neighbors(You don't see), ordered to tear down their structures and fix all damage they caused to someone else's property... If by hardcore, you mean a crook, pest, too lazy to work for his own things so steals from others then yeah... hardcore...
@@ec6052 not really, actually pretty inspiring what he did and a lot of people would agree with me. As for you calling him lazy? I disagree, the amount of work that he went through to build that is something not a lot of people would do. Not to mention spend a winter in the Yukon back country. You probably could never do that. Also I disagree with your premise that it was someone else’s land. It was crown land, and he should never have been forced to leave, Yukon has a homesteading act anyways, why couldn’t they have applied it to his situation. All in all I think what he did was very admirable and deserves respect.
@@eliwasson3414 Breaking the law and unnecessarily destroying someone else's property is not admirable in this country and deserves no respect for his disrespect of others belongings... If he's such a hard worker he should have done it the way all of us hard workers have to... Instead of just claiming someone's property for himself. He's not capable of taking care of himself yet, he shouldn't be out destroying others belongings..
I mean the World Trade Center attacks took a lot of work, should we admire Bin Laden for his determination and work ethic?
Is this a case of "Bums" of a feather flock together? You think breaking laws, destroying property when knowing full well you're in the wrong is admirable. "If the shoe fits"...
@@ec6052 wasn’t destroying other belongings at all, it’s crown land, aka public land, I’m not making an argument that he didn’t break the law im saying sometimes you gotta just do what you feel is right in your heart. I’ve been to the Yukon, lots of land everywhere and no one lives up there. You truly can’t imagine how much unused land is there. In fact there is so much unused land that the territory is asking folks to homestead it in exchange for free land. That’s exactly what Matty did. I think it’s great what he did. Didn’t hurt anyone. Just living the dream. You keep saying he damaged other people land but I don’t know what your talking about because all the land in the Yukon is either native land or public. Very little private property
@@eliwasson3414 There's very little public land in the Yukon.. I don't know what makes you think "CROWN" land is public land.. if it was public land then it would be called public land..
Just found your channel, sat and watched every video. I must say you're a better man than I am ... the perseverance you showed getting that cabin built is next level. Look forward to seeing what comes next!
Can't, he doesn't own the land
Lol Him and the people in the two cabins he doesn't show you on that site have been ordered to tear down all buildings and restore the land they were illegally squatting on.
Where are you dude? Its been long.
I like your videos, I'll see u when u get back 😎
Hope your still here Paul!
I'll be here, great videos 😎
Following along with your story. I think it’s great what you have accomplished and I hope the government leaves you be. Keep going and keep posting!
They won’t because he is in the wrong… and deserves to face the consequences
@@mikella959 well they may not but we will see.
What's your helpers' name, waging his tail, digging holes with you?
Hey Michael. Pups name is Ronnie or Ron.. sometimes Ronnie Long Stocking
No need for apologies bud , your content is awesome and you're doing an amazing job. Can't wait to see the new stuff you're going to be putting out . Stay strong man .
Thanks Mike, I am stoked to start showing it to ya!!
It will just be a video of the removal of the structure he built on land that wasn’t his.
I’ve watched every single episode and you’re one interesting guy, wow! Thanks so much for your wonderful episodes!!!!
Wow Thank you Nena. It's easy to look interesting when your the one editing the footage 😅 glad yoir enjoying
He is a grifter on stolen land and the video is edited so you don’t see the other two illegal cabins only 850 metres away. Maybe he will make a video of his removal of the cabin and restoration of the town/First Nation land he illegally built on.
@@wallytoss don’t follow him anymore..
@@nena4215 Wasn’t following anything but the news story. Following the court case now.
Your work ethic and skill is admirable. Just helping yourself to land you don't own is not.
Aww who even cares. He's literally in the middle of nowhere. He shouldnt have drawn attention to his location, but screw the Yukon government and their attempts to get him out. A beurocracy responisible for a shortage of housing and firewood deserves all the shit we can throw at them.
Only humans are inept enough to think our governments "own the land" take whatever land you want , it was created for all, not to be handed out by the "powers that be" half of the people against this are salty because you live in cubicle sized "homes" in god awful cities , anyone who is able to survive and live in the actual real world , is superior to those who can only "survive" in the economic "system" that deteriorates our planet and our peoples minds ...
Power to you matty, canadian government are pushovers anyways
Who owns it? The Canadian "settlers?" Lmao. "Crown land?" Lmao.
Another great video Matty cant wait till your back from your next adventure cheers !
Thanks Steve n Frankie, hope you wait around !
I have to be honest, when I read the news article about you- I had no idea you had a UA-cam channel. I originally had the opinion that you shouldn't be on the land.
Having watched your videos now, I feel like the government could be paying you. You clearly respect and utilize real and raw materials and actually show how we should all be living.
I respect what you are doing.
On another note, you would make a killing Startin a biz where you build these dream cabins and greenhouses for people.
Best of luck.
I watch because your real
Ehh Dave I appreciate that man thank you
Except him and the other people who live there have been charged for squatting on someone else's land and have to remove all three cabins. So not only is he a fake but a crook too!
Really enjoyed your series. Keep us updated on your situation with the government trying to force you to take down the log cabin. Good luck!!!
Charming extrovert living life as a hermit. I love it!
Not living like a hermit. He has 2 neighbours less than 859 metres away. All three built cabins on crown/band land and disrupted the ecosystem by cutting down trees. Nothing to admire.
Keep up the good work and stay away from that Justin Barbour …he s a bad influence 😀. You’re welcome in New Brunswick anytime.
Love your videos bud right here from Newfoundland
Safe travels wild man. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Take care.
My Pleasure sir, thanks for watching !
Hell yeah keep them coming I can’t wait for the next episode it’s awesome keep them coming
Matty, you are a f'n legend. So stoked for the next Skote adventure!
Save travels skipper!!
Keep doing you, film what you want, just happy to follow along!
You got this bud ! Once people see your videos it’s going to blow up !! BIG TIME. Keep em coming bud
You are correct. The forestry seen he was destroying and building on land that's not his. So this is all going to blow soon when the courts are finished with him. Him and his neighbors are illegal squatters.
@@ec6052 his punishment should be to plant 1000 tree for every tree he cut down.
Love your videos, you've got a lot of courage I know how hard it is to carve out a homestead by yourself. Keep the video coming, I can't wait to see your next adventure. God bless you.
Thank you Ken.nice of u to say. Yes its alot of work but definitely a labour of love
He has neighbors within minutes and they're all hippie squatters tearing up someone else's land. They're being charged and made to tear down all their structures to return the property to the way they found it... GD bums!!!
No Need To Be Sorry For Your Not Being On Here Regularly, Just Keep Safe & Post When Time Allows, I'll Be Right Here Awaiting The Journey ! Scratch For The Pup ! ATB T God Bless
Bahaha scratch for the pup.. thanks Terry
In case anybody hasn't heard, the Canadian Gov has discovered this series and is going to try to take his cabin down. Very unfortunate but this is what happens when any government types see people trying to get around the restrictions and regs that have come into existence. It happened in the last couple decades in the remote areas of Northern California. Refugees from the big cities went up there and moved onto abandoned mining claims. They fixed up old cabins and lived the Back To The Land dream for several decades. Pretty cool in my opinion. Unfortunately the outlaw peops got too far out and growers got too wild. Fires became a problem, forcing the local enforcement types to go after the inhabitants. Bulldozing the cabins and moving folks out of what was once a good thing. Very sad. Just Ask the members of the band Hippy Chuck and the Rusty Pipes up near Hayfork, California.
@@Eileen49654 Could not agree with you more Eileen. Here in the states it is called squatting. It can be very difficult to get freeloaders to leave. There is a park right down the road from my house that had a man living under a bridge. It took them several months to make him leave. There is a part of me that thinks it is really cool living off grid. However, a responsible person will buy the land first before he or she starts cutting all the trees down. The human population is completely out of control with wild areas shrinking by the day. Meanwhile, this dude is going to cut down trees and make a house on public property. It is so crazy that people can not see how selfish they are. Hopefully they can repair the damage he did.
@fartyboots--LOL:) Pretty sure you're going to end up losing that battle:) As much as I approve of the lifestyle, common sense should tell you that the entire earth doesn't belong to you. There are a couple of national parks in OR and WA that would offer an incredible scene to "claim" as earth belonging to me!! I would love to start chopping down the trees and building structures, but I would fully expect the NPS to have a huge issue with it. As they rightly should........
Have to do things legally, that’s all!
Wow that's crazy!
@@derekthornton1328 don’t forget that he’s literally on indigenous land that he was NOT supposed to build on
👌👌👌
Right onLucas
You've got a repeat viewer right here, Matty! I know of many more. Awesome work!
I can't imagine doing this without running into a struggle with yourself! I'm sure you had anticipated it, but it was one of those things you've got to face head on when it comes. I'm sure you've come out of this with a whole new appreciation for life itself and view it all as a part of the beauty.
No better place than the bush, especially today! 😉✌
Excited to see what you come up with next! Truly inspirational stuff 🙏
One thing he didn't anticipate was him and his neighbors getting kicked off the land they're illegally squatting on.
@@ec6052 the native land no less.
You're killing it bud, every update of your journey is inspiring. I can only imagine the drain winter must have been. Looking forward to hearing more about the next adventure. Keep your head up and take care of yourself out there!
Thanks Calvin, your always a great motivator
He could just borrow a cup of sugar from someone in the two cabins 850 metres from the one which he illegally built on crown/First Nation land.
@@wallytoss ua-cam.com/video/6-sYTAHtzXM/v-deo.html
@@CalvinCHolloway typical white boy response, yeah go steal some more native land.
@@CalvinCHolloway Maybe he will post the removal of the cabin for you? It is not permitted because it causes environmental damage, disrupts wildlife habitat and sensitive plant ecosystems, and creates safety and liability concerns. It is illegal to use, occupy or build structures on Crown land. Penalties of up to $100,000 or the seizure of improvements, goods or materials may apply. The person responsible also could be billed for clean-up costs. He and his neighbours in the two cabins he omitted showing in his video are in court proceedings to determine the penalty
Just love your videos. You are a true survivor. Looking forward to more adventures in the future. Hoping they will be longer in length. Be well, be safe. Living my dream through you.
This video was put together really well. Great job and have 2 more fans over here.

Thanks again Trout. Still my favorite handle on the internet
@@skoteoutdoors EXTREME COLONIZER
Great videos ! Looking forward to more …
Glad you enjoying Walter
Maybe he will post a video about the dismantling of the structure and his attempt restoring the land? This grifter built his cabin beside the cabins of fellow grifters on land that they didn’t own. Maybe you can follow the court case?
It was nice meeting you at mistastin crater and you always welcome there, I’ll be going back to different camping grounds where I learn a lot over there.
Was pumped to see ya uploaded a video ! I wanted to mention your timeline of videos was a bit confusing, that could be a good video in itself, explain your trip and how you got to be there you are.
Wild to see that grizzly, glad we dont have them out East haha he didn't seem to scared of ya either, a black bear would have took off. Anyways man hope you have a good trip, I'll be waiting for a new video. Cheers !!
Hey Maritimer! Ya I no by it was a little all over the place. At some point there be a video to explain the back story. Soon enough sir
@@skoteoutdoorsyou going to explain the 2 other cabins built near you also??
Just found your channel so have a bit of catching up to do. Looking forward to it.
Super authentic. Would love to see more.
Me and my son love your videos. Looking forward to see what’s next.
Maybe jail time?
Good vid man, love what your doing. just found your channel from the court thing.
Love your stuff man!
If the land isn't yours, and the owner says, "Get off my land and undo the damage", that's what you do. Better yet, don't go out and chop down a bunch of trees and build a house on somebody else's land without permission. Sheesh. How hard would it have been to buy a little piece of land somewhere, that was, you know, your own?
This guy will now probably make a ton of money from UA-cam, for pulling up on Native American land and building his little colony.
Yes but then what are we? Scared and caged animals abiding the law of a government that is not based in native culture. I think we are going to see some big changes towards our thinking on ownership in this century.
Love all your videos! Great content!
Get yourself a woman willing to spend the winter up there, you need a ham radio station for an emergency and airdrop supplies. Some sort of hand crank generator to charge up batteries.
Love it brother! Definitely excited to see what you got on the go next!
No he didn't! This guy did not go out into the woods and just randomly pick a spot and build a cabin without checking to see who owns the land. Who does that? Imagine if everyone went out into the woods and said "oh, this looks like a good spot. I'll build a cabin here and just take it over from the natives."
That's what Christopher Columbus did for Spain in 1492 (and eventually the rest of Europe followed using the same MO) but still...
He should live like the rest of us and let contractors and construction workers destroy the land that was stolen by the Natives! He should waste tens thousands of gallons of water on plumbing a year like us! What a fool! I'd rather live in complete ignorance to the atrocities committed to the environment and the indigenous, wouldn't you? Hopefully now he'll have to pay an enormous fine to the government. The same government that murdered the Natives in the first place? Whoops. Better not think too hard about this.
@@ericbernhagen Are you one of those people who take a situation in the past and expect everyone in the future to pay for it? We’re having enough problems with that today.
@@tigergreg8 well in the present this man is deciding to live in a carbon neutral environment vs you and I sitting on our phones in our heated homes. Do you see the difference? Keep playing dumb.
@@mrpigeonpants don’t you live in a house that was once “someone else’s land” ?

@@Eileen49654 I’m using their words against them Eileen. It’s called sarcasm. I think you need think a little bit more.
It pains me to know this is the last video in the series... I almost want to save it. Going to have to rewatch them all with the wife later. Great job Matt!
Be careful out there Matty! I'll be here when ya gets back!
Cheers Roland! I'll be lookin for ya
You're likely not checking the channel much, but I wanted to leave you some encouragement. Your cabin was pretty kickass, it's a shame the government is cracking down on you for land that wasn't put to any use. We'll be praying for a good outcome for you and your future. Not many people would have it in them to do what you accomplished on your own. Stay strong
huge respect man! Looks amazing!
The landowners didn't think so when they found the dirty little hippy commune the three of them built(FYI he's not alone)
Your videos are awesome! I’ll be waiting for future videos for sure!
your videos are craziest lol, grizly the exploding oven hahahaha love it. i started folowing when prevail bushcraft 13 shouted you out enjoyed every minute since
Looking forward to seeing what you get into. 🤘
Keep up the good work Matt. Really enjoying your adventure buddy.
I will definitely be waiting for yalls return. 3, 4, 5, months, I cant wait to see what adventures you will show us.
Maybe he will post a video of the removal of the cabin he illegally built on First Nation/crown land.
