    I love seeing young folks active and living purposefully. I just grab one of your hoodies. Keep up the great work. I’m 55 grandma and am 90% complete with my off grid log cabin. I cut and moved every log myself. It was hard and backbreaking but the rewards are so sweet. My grandchildren should be here next summer to enjoy the cabin here in the Black Hills of SD.

    You've gone from an interesting UA-cam creator to a bit of a phenomenon. The best part of it all is that you didn't start with these resources and knowledge. You thought big and worked big, and didn't give up, and you've become a master log home builder through sheer desire and effort. Keep it up, we'll be here with you.

    I hear you about the solar,
    I live full time in my Sprinter in Northwest Montana.
    I spent a few thousand dollars that I really didn't have on all that eco flow products, oh don't get me wrong they work great, if they are charged.
    Like you, there is not many sunny days in winter, it's a constant struggle just to have power.
    The Eco Flo are not good at all.
    I did buy a flexible all powers 200 w solar panel, that I just leave on my windshield 24/7 , rain and snow and Frost has not bothered it a bit.
    The only time I take it off is when I run down the mountain to town once every couple weeks.
    Even on cloudy days the all powers 200 w flexible solar panel trickles in anywhere from 16 to 23 Watts.
    I'm sure thankful you make these videos, I truly enjoy watching them.

    My goodness man... This is some precise work. I struggle to wrap my brain around some of these angles and measurements you got going on here. So stoked for you. As someone who's been here since the early days I feel like I've seen the ups and downs, and being this close to the finish line is exciting! Cant wait to see where you put this puppy!

    The way those joints are fitting says a lot about your skill with a chainsaw and how smart you are!
