Building My Log Home Pt.1 - The Start of a Monumental Project and Journey
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- I dream of a big beautiful log house that I can build myself with trees I can harvest without cost. This is much more than a dream house, because it is my main focus and ambition and with that it is going to become a reality in due time. It is going to be an incredible project and journey and I cant wait to share it with all of you friends on UA-cam.
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
Just a suggestion but if you wanna give your vids a nice bump really lean into the off-grid part of it in your titles and tags. Off-grid home building is super popular these days with the rising cost of everything. Love what you're doing keep up the great work.
That's good advice. We really came across him by accident. We found him a few years ago when we were looking up outhouses. We loved seeing him build his "shitter" and we've been onboard ever since.
I'd say he's about as "off grid" as any of the youtube 'off grid' channels. I love his 'cut to next scene' simplistic editing with none of the fancy shmancy bs. This kids the real deal and knows more at his age than most adults .
You're bringing back great memories from 40 years ago!!
@fwar83
DON'T you dare change a bloody thing !!!!!
Screw the "off grid community" .... Kyle you are SO MUCH MORE than that pathetic bunch of try-hards !!!!
The way you do it is the VERY THING that attracts us to your channel. The fact that you DON'T use gimmicks like the others, no, you're raw and authentic young man... stay that way !!!!! Let's just have you like you are , it's so enjoyable being with you in the nuts and bolts of everything you do. You bring back so many memories for me and esp of my old dad , whom I see you as a modern day version of !!! Logging in the early days of 1900 in the early settlement of the Catlins ,in the south of New Zealand. Even when I ķnew him he was still as rough and ready as you are , I loved him to death. You have the same attributes , so don't let anyone tell you to be like " the others" ...you be you Kyle and we'll love and support you.
NOW , let's get it done man. !!!!!!🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍✌️👏🇨🇦
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 adding off-grid to a title and description or in a hashtag isn't a gimmick. It just broadens his reach. Besides, I can't see Kyle changing the way he does things. Thank God!
Deadly video! I especially like the careful consideration to lowering the volume in the louder segments. A revival of the background music A+ and some really great shots. Fantastic camera work with this one. I can tell you really poured your heart into this video and it definitely shows! Keep up the great work!!
Dude, you are a huge inspiration. Can't imagine the feeling you're gonna get when this is all done, let alone for all the years from now living in a house that you yourself built. Your knowledge and skill to be able to do all this on your own is impressive enough, but the fact that you're also recording and commentating is insane. I feel like your channel is going to blow up as this series progresses.
Also, in case you ever should need extra support to help complete your vision, I would definitely be more than happy to send you a few bucks to help out. Easily one of the most deserving people I could imagine contributing money to.
Your on a path I took myself although I am from the 50s so Im a bit ahead of you. I have to say Kyle, It's a real pleasure to watch a young guy your age that shows such a drive and work ethic. Well done. 🇨🇦🍁
Do not change a damn thing...as a 73 year old grandmother with a father and brothers that logged years ago I am so proud to watch you as a young man doing a very dangerous skill. The safety you take is right on top! Keep doing what you think is best, your choice and so far.........perfect!
I’m excited to see you loving this so much. I’m gonna be here for all of it. It’s gonna be down right deadly fam.
Even though I'm in another country and a thousand plus miles away from you I feel like I 'm truly going on this adventure with you. Can't wait to see how this journey goes and I will be following along to the finish. Your work ethic and enthusiasm will get you your dream home. God bless you and keep you safe every step of the way.
So do I!!and I'm in Florida!!
You have so much pent-up energy which is such a bonus when undertaking these massive progects. You obviously put in a great many hours everyday. This will be one dude I will definitely keep track of during this awesome project.
I'm loving the project, Kyle. It amazes me how much you can do by yourself! I have followed your journey for a long time and have enjoyed watching all the video's you produce and send us. You and Shawn James are truly the image we have of the hard working men of Canada. Cheers my friend, from David in Omaha, NE, USA
I’m excited to see this next build. A log cabin is definitely my dream and I can’t wait to watch the process! Right on buddy! Let’s get to her!
Oh this is exciting!!! I’ve been watching you for years and I love seeing how far you have come. So sorry about you buddy. I know he meant a lot to you. 💙 I’m sure his spirit is with you in the bush.
Can't wait for the rest of the series. Hope this will help you out financially too!
I'm so grateful to you and your care for the trees and the land. They are willing to be your home, but the car and respect you put into each one, as though they are your friends, is remarkable. Yes the skill is there, but more than that, the love and respect is phenomenal. thank you
I can appreciate I guy that uses his truck not any of this pavement princess bullshit. You should hit up Dodge for a sponsor!!!
I love watching log cabin builds, this is right up my alley! So looking forward to this build that I look for your videos daily! Love you drive and knowledge that you studied and research before you even started this process! Let’s get after it! I’m looking forward to it!
My family homesteaded on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. Grew up logging and timber Barron with a cattle ranch. I admire your channel, your tenacity, and your hard work ethic. It is lost in space in today’s society..keep chuchin and keep those chains sharp. Get yourself a proper falling axe with a belt and don’t let it leave your side.
I’ve been waiting! Thanks for the upload my friend! Hope all goes well!

So im a truck driver. I drive 80000 pounds of steel down roads and mountains in snow and rain, dust storms and everything in between. Yet everytime I watch one of your videos you always make me feel like I should be doing more with my life. I grew up on a farm and I miss doing all the hard work and learning how to do things yourself is just so liberating and rewarding. I plan to one day (in the next year or so) buy a piece of land to do exactly what you are doing now and I know for a fact I'm going to love every second of it. Every video you make inspires me more and more and more and I'm so grateful that you take the time to post these videos and share your experiences so I just wanted to say thanks sooo much and to let you know that you do make an impact on people lives wether you realize it or not and its truly an amazing gift. Keep up the good work my dude!
Awesome! What you're doing, felling trees, building a log home, all by yourself, you're a brute...lol I always look forward to seeing your posts, you're not afraid of taking on anything. Love what you're doing ❤️
I’ll be watching this complete project and all others coming up.
Thank you for this deadly content!
Thank you Kyle 👊 appreciate you my friend, always great to hear from you 👍Hope all goes well with the move, the build and everything. Stay safe and take care ✌️
Oh no! My husband has adopted "deadly". I hear it all the time now. 😀
Awesome.
Been watchin you for a long time.
Respect.
Me, been workin with wood since I was 10, and much enjoy your work and your Skills.
I've followed a number of guys building cabins in the deep woods. I have suspected for a long time that 99.9% of them are tooooo small for long-term, real-life living. So, I was Very Glad to see you talk about a Big log home.
I'll be watchin ya....
Really looking forward to seeing this project brother. Stay safe thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Can't wait to see the log home progress along! And hey, deadly handsom looking in the thumbnail!!! Anyway, keep it up!
Your lumber jack skills are solid! This is going to be an amazing journey, can't wait for the next one.
I've been following your video's for probably over a year and I know that you trap over the winter but do you work a "regular" job? I worked as a welder from the time I was 18 until I retired at age 62. I'm just curious. Keep up the good work.
We have been following your channel for about a year now and your enthusiasm and desire to make your home in the bush is exciting. You have a vast knowledge base for knowing how to get things done and an incredible willingness to be self reliant. Our condolences on the loss of your dog. Keep up the good work and we look forward to each video. Can’t wait to see you start on the new house. Cheers friend.
Kyle hope women are welcome? I just found your channel and am looking forward to following your progress. Will be as time permits watching your older stuff also. Best wishes, and as always take time for safety. Deb
Let’s build this thing!
It’s snowed for the 3rd time here in three forks Montana brother. Keep it deadly!!👀🇺🇸💪😎💯
Looking awesome keep doing you and I'm very much enjoying watching you and all that you do all by yourself.
What a great way to spend my lunch watching Traplines & Inlines!! 🤙🏻🇨🇦
That was a whole lot of a deadly video. I'm so happy that you are finally getting to what you want. I just can't believe how hard you work. It's is such a privilege to be able to sit back on my home and watch a young man with such a zest for life. It makes me smile. I'm so friggin happy for you
Sthil should be offering you a sponsorship, it's unbelievable what your accomplishing with that saw,and especially for it's size, be safe and looking forward to watching
What the fuck is your name. We’ve been watching for a while and just figured out we have no idea who you are!😂
Excited for the next and the next… this was a huge step, thanks for including us!
I’m excited to see this next build. Can't wait for the rest of the series. Rest well so you can stay focused. Stay safe and take care.
Watching the last part of your video sitting next to the wood stove, I remember how many nails you used on the walls and it made me laugh good luck enjoying the videos keep it up
You parents/ grandparents/ family that raised you, should be proud. Take a bow. They raised a fine young man making his mark upon the world.
New sub! Awesome channel! I appreciate you, you are a great teacher mega energy levels, so much to learn from you! Thank you so much for the creation of this beautiful channel!! May I ask what is your first name, or middle name, or aka???? Take Care Stay Safe My Friend
Can’t wait to actually see the things start getting built👍🏻👍🏻. Keep on keep’in on!!
love the videos ill be watching how you make out with the build. i get how fun it is taking down trees and even limbing them up. this is my favourite thing to do. good luck be safe brother
Absolutely love the commentary!!!! It’s genuine and that makes it fn hilarious!!🤘👌 mint!! Can’t wait for the next video it’s something I look forward too on Sunday’s!!
hard to beat the little bush camp easy to heat and room enough for what you need. how much land do you have there? do you own it? looks like a hell of a spread chief.
You're an outdoorsman buddy .Simple as that. They have built cabins forever . And you're so lucky to be one .
Every other person doing this shit on UA-cam is faking it. This fuckin guy is real as fuck. Love this mint shit man. Fucking send it brother!
Man I enjoy watching ur videos I'm blown away how u live ur life and live out in the bush the way u do I'm from Boston mass and I'm a city kid but seeing how resourceful u are and how simple u keep it is so unbelievable to watch especially in this modern world I think alot of people forget how to actually enjoy ther life even if it's hard work just goes to show u how 1 young man can build his dream alone in the woods with a pick up truck and a chainsaw sweat and muscle. Unfortunately know a days sum of these young guys are growing up to be soft. We need more men in this world that know how to build and use ther hands get dirty alittle it helps to fight covid. 👏 keep it up my man ur a beast
I sure hope you have a can't hook , and a peve ( not sure of the spelling on either one ) if ya don't GET THEM , you'll not regret it , they are invaluable for this job . Great video!!
share a sketch or plan of what you are building, engage your watchers to give ideas for changes/designs etc - build interaction. seems to me like you have found your passion, so chase it/build on it as you enjoy it the most. maybe start a bush log cabin building business!
Evening boys and girls from the uk 🇬🇧 👍👍

Lovin this deadly vid. Can't wait for the next one! WOW those are beautiful healthy trees/logs. Onward and upward. J
I love your new location! Perfect opportunity to get Your Dream!! You're drive and energy, is an inspiration to People around the Freaking World !! I hope you Know That . Keep it Up!!
" It should be illegal to have this much fun " hahahahahahaha !! perfect !
Any update on what you are choosing to do with moving your old house? It's great to love what you do. Keep at it.
If u don’t you should check out my self reliance on you tube he just built a log cabin … he also has a cone that fits in front of his logs while dragging them out
You're a very inspirational person my friend! Wish you nothing but the best while you Build your Dream Home!! I'm sure it's going to be a great Success🍻🍻
Amazing vid...great workhorse in that diesel beast. Love your homemade tree hauler. I get your passion. So excited for this build...snow already? BOOO
I've been watching you from the beginning and my first time commentating . Can't wait for your new project to come together it will be as deadly as you my lad 👍
OMG I can feel your excitement in this new journey you are on. Super happy for you. So awesome to love what you do everyday even if it is work. Those are beautiful logs and they are going to look superb on your cabin. The hard work and research you put into it all is going to pay off in so many ways. Wishing you nothing but the best in life my friend. ❤️
You're amazing.. I love watching you get excited about building, creating, working and problem solving. I'm looking forward to this new massive project..
Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
I very much look forward to this build, I think you will succeed at your log home build….. I’ll be watching every single video of this build forsure !!!!👍👍
Giddy! \😄/ Have fun ~ we certainly are, watching you do this :)
(He could employ the help of local beavers, to down trees, but he ate them all, lol.)
(Those rocks at 37:50 are gorgeous. Maybe eventually find a way to work the smaller ones into your build? As foundation piers/cover or a fireplace.
And yes, you might make some mistakes. But you spent a good amount of time researching how to do this. So, overall, you will be fine & handle things well, no worries. The key to lessening problems is to not let impatience override forethought. Common sense too. But sometimes you don't realize this until after the fact. It happens & you learn better. That said, your strategic log felling is a perfect example of doing it right, of course :)
Considering forest genetic selection was smart
“The tree is in good shape and I didn’t die. And that is 2 things that are important!” Great video and filming.
Glad you are not snowed in yet
Lots of snow here now, makes everything more difficult thats for sure!
Awesome build NC USA 🇺🇸
You my man are a stud! You have far more followers and admirers of what you're doing than what is indicated in the comments. Can't wait for the next drop.
Sending peace and love your way again young man. That's gonna be a helluva big cabin huh? What will be the footprint? 48 feet x 24 feet ?????
Men.... THIS is how you do it!! Buy/build your house BW... Before Wife!! And keep your name and your name alone on EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man these last few videos have been good to see, some of the best yet; I'm loving it! Looking forward to seeing your cabin come to fruition.
And I love the background music
Where do I get one of those deadly sweaters?
This is pretty damn cool, a new journey has begun 👍
I can’t wait to see your log home come together, you are such a hard worker.
Can't wait to see your finished cabin keep up the good work ..........cheers🍻
This is epic, 100k subs soon
YOU SHOULD GET A SKIDDING TOBOGAN TO GO ON THE FRONT OF THE LOG ,IT WILL SLIDE LIKE BABY SHIT THERE BUD.
I just now stumbled into your channel - 3/8/24 -consequently, I’m now watching your “build my log home” playlist.
I think I will enjoy your content.😊
Truly Awesome >>>>>>>>>>> absolutely amazing for a YOUNG man to know and do what you do!!
Young man I admire your drive. So many young folks laying around wining about everything. Your mech. skills, your drive, your independence & your openess & honesty. Keep at it youngster your doing great. Love watching your progress etc. As you would put it. Stay deadly. 🙃 Later.

What an awesome video. I will truly enjoy watching this series.. Until next time..
You’re doing a grand job Kyle…keep at it! 🏴
Finally I see a man using a truck for its intended purpose :-)
Boy wow I wish I was out there with you buddy it's a beautiful life you have. Building your own log cabin home is a dream of mine too 🙂. I learn a lot from watching your videos. Your blessed 😇 and I keep you in my prayers 🙏 don't ever forget that my friend ☺️👍🥰 I'm from Wisconsin and now I live in Florida. Boy ohh boy I sure miss living up North ⬆️ I love the Northern life it's healthy living. Well by for now 👋 and I wish you only the best 🙂👍🥰
I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS BUILD!!!! I stumbled upon your channel well after your cabin was built, and even though I watched and enjoyed all the cabin build videos, Im super stoked to see this build in real-time!!! I am so dang happy for you! 😁
Few things define a man other than his actions. You sir, are a thinker, an invisionist, and one hell of a hard worker. Much respect!
Hey Kyle great to see the next project keeping you excited and motivated. Great tip I got from someone is to brace your saw in the vice...clamp onto the bar and take the brake off. You have a stable base to sharpen and can quickly move to the next one. Heaps quicker. Love your videos mate been watching from the garage days🇦🇺🇦🇺
Your doing a fantastic job my friend, keep up that love of life and thing will be awsome, stay safe brother👍✌️🇨🇦
I had same ujoint problem on my 97 dually. You're getting axle wrap, if you would build/buy some traction bars it will stop stressing that joint on axle. You know your getting wrap when you change from forward to reverse and you hear a clunkish sound from rearend. That's the springs straightening out. Drive line angles get pinched up when pulling/working.
Nice to meet you!! What an AWESOME project!! Amazing!!
Fuck yea buddy! Excited to follow along on this journey! ✌️🇨🇦
I'm excited for you. And I'm already enjoying watching the cabin build. I love your videos. Keep up the great work and I can't wait for the next one.
The 1-2 and three and a half ujoints got me laughing real good! Well done young man!
Your videos are awesome, 🍻 🇨🇦 🍁 what your accomplishing is very impressive, I wouldn't be surprised if someone offers you a job to build them a log cabin or house.
Make sure you put your foundation in properly it makes a difference for long term
