    Welcome to Traplines and Inlines
    I have the pleasure of sharing my passions for the wilderness, building, fixing and all other things interesting with my great group of UA-cam friends.
    I have lived offgrid in the bush for over 3 years, but now I am moving to the next chapter in my life and am building a big log home as my next place to live. It is going to be an incredible journey building my own home. I am using logs I harvested myself and plan to do most of the work by myself. This project will be the main focus of my channel, with many other adventures along the way im sure!
    Thank you for watching

    Man it's refreshing to see a young hard working problem solver with such passion and very high standards. When I was 12 I wrote a paper and said I was going to build a cabin in the woods - it took me about 40 years to complete that dream - you are many years ahead of that. You are on a journey you will never forget.

    Kyle you make Canada Great, from all the videos I watch on cabin building, I know that that you are the best one. And I like how you explain 'everything' that you are doing in your building, your truck repairs, your equipment, etc...In all honesty I can see you being a teacher in the art of log building and getting paid to do so! We are ALL behind you Kyle on what you choose to do in your life, you are one in a 'million'!!!

    Try using your heater hose ss from your pickup with quick disconnects and hook up to your tractor and let the hot water flow through your tractor and back to your truck. It will heat up your tractor engine.

    With it all up off the ground like that it's not going to start to rot too easy. Also you don't want moisture trapped in there by an oil or it will rot inside. If you spray it with a Borax and water solution, it won't mould, yet the moisture will still be able to come out and it can season/dry some more. After that it will still accept an oil based treatment later when you're happy with the moisture content! Frign' awesome home you got going up there dude!

    Just a thought: that diesel heater comes with a 'Y' connection. So split the output and aim one through the heater core in the cab and the other toward the pan and block. Add a small 12v pump in your heater hose to circulate the heated water through your block. The confined cab will keep most of the heat that is directed to the heater core and the pump will pull a good amount of heat to where it does the most good, into the block. A 12v pump won't draw much. If you move your battery into the cab it too will be warmed before starting when the diesel heater is fired up. Check out how the over the road rigs plumb in their Espar (basically the same thing) diesel heaters to keep the engine warm and the cab as well when they are overnighting.

    Wow, what an epic build! This young man will get this done, one way or another. I'm confident of that! I do wish that he had someone who could help him, though. It would have to be someone who is knowledgeable about building log structures. You don't need someone on the job site who would set him back due to screw ups. Anyway, I'm cheering you on, my young friend!

    I am impressed with your vision. I will give you my thoughts as a 72 yr old. Your are doing it right, get everything just as you want it now, make it as good as you can because you will be my age in a flash and fixing stuff don't come as easy as it used to be. Your craftsmanship is excellent.

    Sir, I am humbled by your efforts and results. I never realized building a log home was like building a watch the size of Big Ben. And that’s no joke.
