So let me get this straight. You're 23 years old and own a custom built, hand scribed log cabin that's probably 70-80% complete. Worth somewhere between a quarter and a half a million dollars. And you've developed the skills and knowledge to replicate this many times over. If you could put together a small crew to help you and cut down the time it would take, any one (that could afford what you're worrh)would be honored to have you build them a home. Dude, I'm not sure you realize how AWESOME you are.
I started watching an ambitious, 17 yr old High School kid with big dreams and I'm now enjoying a 23 yr old man making his dreams come true. Congratulations my friend. Its been a pleasure to be on this journey with you.
Thank you my friend but dont worry about me at all I am very lucky to have an amazing group of friends on youtube who are overwhelmingly supportive and positive like yourself. I get very very few negative ones
That is certainly hard work, and I’m glad you take it seriously. The risk of injury or death is tremendous, and you’ve overcome that. Great job! Keep up the good work. I look forward to your upcoming videos.
Don’t listen to the haters there’s always going to be looser out there that don’t have to accomplish anything in their life!!! You should be very proud of yourself You are amazing guy who is actually building your dream look how you’ve come my friend stay strong stay positive and may god watch over you and give you strength on this awesome journey 🙏❤️✌🏼
Scottish, 50 yrs old, served my country as an engineer! You effortlessly command my respect! Keep being you dude! Breath of fresh air.. looking forward to next video! Good luck in all you do, but you don’t need luck, you have skills bro! Keep going! 🥰
I think by now you must realize that most of us do not think you are crazy. We continue to return video after video because you inspire us. We all have goals which can sometimes be overwhelming. You continue to show us that with determination and focus, it can be done. Thank you for taking us along.
I did this same thing in 1983. I had the property, built the home, here it is 2024 and I’m still working on it. Time is so short, you’ve got the basics, don’t second guess yourself, stay on course. Don’t worry about the goal, you already know where you’re going. Have fun!
One of my biggest regrets in life was to reach nearly 50 before I came round to this way of thinking, no longer have the energy or health to do something on this scale. Well done for tuning into what is important in life while you are in a position to do it.
Might I suggest allowing your subscribers to participate in your dreams by adding a Venmo account. The enjoyment I get from your videos, I just want a way to show you my appreciation. Let us help with some of those expenses. Love your journey, love your channel!
I’m 74 yrs old. I am retired from Wisconsin Dept of Corrections, Probation & Parole. We then moved to Illinois to be near our son and his wife. I felt the need to continue helping others & found a part-time job at a college close to my home. So many students do not know what their end goal is. I am amazed by your accomplishments and ambition at such a young age. You have proven you can do anything you set your mind to do. I watch Ken’s Carpentry in Canada. His crew builds the homes in sections and then transports to the site. Totally enjoy your channel.
I spent 12k on solar, I’ve got 2 6500 watt inverters, a LI battery, and 10 solar panels. 6500 watts split phase, 13,000 on demand. My battery charges in about 90 minutes via the sun, And about 2 hrs via predator generator. I burn a bit of fuel in the winter, but not too much. And I don’t really run out of power. Ever!! It’s been just 1 year and I’m confident it’ll last several years. I went with Signature Solar fyi. Really enjoyed the “bush” and your coyote and wolf trapping. I’m not surprised you’re killing the log home!! Deadly!! ✌️😎
@@racebanning6390 It really is, 2 6500 watt EG4 inverters 1 EG4 6000 watt LI battery and 10 panels that charge from both sides, (they say) I can weld, run compressor, air tools, fridge, freezer, lights, Starlink. and I only paid 1 time. I was amazed myself Thank You
you are living proof that life for young men is not best spent in a classroom, I sat bored spinning a pencil staring at the ceiling through college.... only to find there is a entire world out there that values and rewards skill and experience. congratulations on your accomplishment, did an incredible job.
This whole project has been nothing short of amazing. Its unbelievable what you've put together. Just wanted to say that you've inspired me chase my dream of building a cabin in the woods of my own. Nothing like the structure you're building but if will be an accomplishment I dont think I would have ever attempted if I had not followed you through this process. Thank you for putting these videos out there.
Kyle you have a dream so live it your way. You are not crazy for working and creating a life for yourself,you are young and have a strong mind and great craftsmanship skills.
You have more character and grit than any other man on youtube. Only people who have built something from scratch with timbers can even begin to wrap their mind around how impressive you and this project actually are. Your a proper inspiration for anyone fighting to make a dream come true. Best to be called a fool than coward and I doubt hardly anyone thinks your either. Incredible work man!
Go for it, follow your dreams... Quit saying your crazy... You are still young, you will be old before you know it. Do what you can while your young...... Life is short, and when you finally have finished, you will have a nice log cabin you can live in free...No rent... So build it well and it will be there for years..
I've watched your channel for about 5 years. I've never had the impression that you're impulsive with your decisions. You aren't crazy, you're learning as you go and taking risks for the right reasons. I look forward to the next phase of your building project.
You have accomplished so much in your23 years and your “can do” attitude is the best quality that you have,in my opinion. If I had you as my son I would be very proud. Keep working to fulfill all of your dreams!
I have a lot of respect for you. You are disciplined, motivated, highly intelligent and knowing you are doing this by yourself. That commands respect. ❤❤❤❤
Traplines, it’s hard to believe how fast the past 6-years has just flown by. I’m here for the long haul my friend. Keep on being Deadly. I enjoy everything you publish. Looks like your channel will soon reach 100K subscribers. A time to celebrate unboxing your Silver Play Button Award. - Stay Safe my Friend.
Thank you Ted yes it sure has! I am very excited about that milestone it has been a goal of mine for a long time, might even have to plan a littler supper or something to celebrate.
Hi Kyle 👋🏻 It's your home , being built by your hands! You just keep building the way that you want it to be my friend 👊🏻👍🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always 🫶🏻
Don’t get discouraged you have come so far!!! Problem solve as you go that’s how it gets done very few people have a vision of exactly how they will navigate through a difficult project you kinda have to feel your way through keep going !!!your doing awesome
I have followed you for years now. From trapping to log building, watching you learn and mature. Hard working and humble. You have a great mind set, keep it up and you will keep doing great things.
Never underestimate the things that life will throw at you as you age. Keep on doing what you're doing. There will be victories, and setbacks but what should remain steady is your vision. Never lose sight of that. That vision will help you navigate the tough times. I am thoroughly impressed by what you've done. You inspire others with that confidence. If I'd had a son I hope he would have been like you.
literally just a kid and seams to be more mature than most of the people around me including my self (and im in my late 40’s) so much clarity and determination. He it’s just amazing!❤
Im 53 and Im pretty good with my hands and can tackle most projects with ease. Im not sure I could even begin to atempt what you are doing. I have been watching you for a long time and I am absolutely amazed and your intelligence level and craftsmanship at the things you undertake. How you speak and your thought process is extremely rare these days not only for a young man but for anyone. I would love to spend a day with you just to talk shop and tell you to your face what an honor it is to be apart of your growth as a man but also as a true craftsman. Thank you very much for being a part of my life and allowing me to be a part of yours. I read alot of the comments to your videos and I have to say, you are an inspiration to many people. You give me hope and drive when I watch you. My young friend, Im not sure you realize how special of a person you are.
It's nice to see a young man planning for his future. Make sure when you start a family you use the same determination. Young families face a lot of stress. It takes work, and a lot of patients to make it. The idea that you can just put it down and go back to the bush (something you know) will enter your mind. Relationships take something different.
Your optimism has brought you to where you are today. Blood, sweat and tears....and perhaps a side of cussing is fuel to keep your dream in sight. It's been an honor to watch you grow throughout this project. Kuddos to you !! On a side note, I received the royal blue crewneck sweater ordered from your store. Absolutely love the fit and material..
the good thing is hes still young..im 43 and jsut bought my first bit of land i got tired of waiting,, im not this far along my project but ill be there..him being this young he can enjoy it for quite soem time.. its fun being in the bush its not for everyone .
You are way beyond your years It is very difficult to believe you are only 23. Always follow your dreams, never give up on them. You have a very bright future. I am hoping that you find a parcel of land that is serviced and that is reasonable in price. For all our hard work, you deserve that, Have been watching your videos from the first and enjoy them very much Keep up the great work All the best Take care
Glad to see you are alive and well. I lived in meadow Lake for years and about 25 years ago a guy built his own log home south of town. He was using a front end loader to lift his logs and half way through the build one of them rolled off the bucket and down the arms striking him. He broke his back but survived and they were able to finish the house. I was hoping you hadn’t got hurt yourself. There were two brothers who built log homes west of Rapid View. For years I drove by and watched them strip, assemble and take apart the logs and deliver their craft. You seem to be doing a very good job yourself. Nothing but respect sir.
Just finished watching all the building videos of this project, and from an 26 yo Italian guy who has the exact same dream to be able one day to build his own logs house, this is far more than awesome! And you are! Its kinda strange because seeing someone else doing the same dream project of yours makes me think a lot, but a the same time im super happy for you bud! Instead of blaming my self for now im trying to learn as much as possible from your experience, also because until now I didn’t had the possibilities to try and learn how to cut/trim/use logs, but one day for sure i will! Huge new fan of you keep it up the work , we are all loving it and you’re amazing!
I have worked on several scribed log homes, and your scribes, and the notches are as good as any others I have seen. Just remember to follow the allowances for shrinkage, and you'll do just fine. These homes are unbelievably warm, and relatively easy to heat. A 10 inch pine log has an R value of 40.
I have only been watching you for about a year or so. And I have to say I wait for your video's. Your mom must be so proud of you. I can say this as I am a mom to sons your age. My only complaint is there are not more of your videos. Ignore negative Nancys. They are just jealous.
Found this channel when he was putting the roof on his bushcamp cabin, must've been 5 years ago now. Never imagined he would be getting ready to put a roof on a massive log cabin like this. Unbelievably impressive work
I'm more than twice your age, and I can say for certain that you have your sh1t together a LOT better than I do. You're starting out the right way, and following your dreams. I made the mistake of listening to people telling me that my dreams were the wrong way to go about life, so now after wasting over 20 years trying to achieve the "Canadian Dream" I'm finally back on track and trying to follow my dreams, regardless of what people are telling me. I promise you that you are going to go far in life, and I know nothing is going to stop you. Almost at the 100k subs mark now too, which is amazing! Every channel I've seen that hits the 100k mark will just explode after that milestone. I think your channel is going to become HUGE in the very near future. I wish you the very best sir, and thank you for taking us along on your journey. Your videos are spectacular and I really enjoy the content you share with us. Thank you
Slow and steady wins the race! You’re doing great. You have a very good head on your shoulders. Very talented and smart. Keep up the good work. You my friend, are going to win in life! I will always be watching and supporting you!
You are just an amazing young man. I just love your commentary and your work ethic is so admirable. I haven’t seen any negative comments and don’t want to. And if they exist, ignore them. Thanks for bringing us along. ❤️
Crazy! I didn't realize it had been 6 years already but, I've been watching you since the beginning. I'm even more impressed to learn that you're now ONLY 23! You've got the future in the palm of your hands buddy. You're waaay ahead of the majority. I commend you on your achievements and at almost 50, I only wish I had prioritized what's important as much as you have, even though I have no regrets. Keep on keepin' on!
It’s good that you are trying to take your time and thinking things out while you’re building your log cabin. Stay safe and keep moving forward with this project.
Dude, I’m from Australia so I have no idea on the market for these, but I’m assuming really good quality, custom made,hand crafted log shells would be pretty hard to come by. You have a very good business model right in front of you man.
The market isn't there really. The problem is the people who can afford this level of custom effort don't typically go for this sort of thing. The people who want custom log cabins typically build their own because of the price point. I'm not going to pay somebody $250,000 to do this, and that's the labor hours not the logs.
You are truly an inspiration dude, I’m 26 from the UK and became an instant fan of yours when I joined the channel around ep 4/5 😊 your optimism and determination are wonderful traits that shine through you so naturally that there is no doubt in my mind that you’ll realize your dream and have your handcrafted beautiful home one day. I wish you good fortune and inner strength through the grueling challenges that lie before you bröther ❤ good luck and stay awesome dude x
You are living and going after your dream ! You didn't wait until you were retired or had all the funds necessary! You are such an inspiration and a great role model for young men and women! Keep on keeping on my friend! Cheering you on from Maine!
Bro, don't even sweat! Your progress, your drive, and your hard work are not only amazing, but have obvious fantastic results! I cannot WAIT to see you find the perfect spot, and put in the foundation, because when that happens, you are going to go through a giant mental change! you think you are seeing the reality now? Wait until you see it come to the point where it is absolutely going to become your dream
It’s a beauty spot! If you want to keep it for yourself, don’t let the power grid be a hold up for ya. Spend some cash upfront for a little bigger solar setup. I know you have some already. Great thing about solar it’s always expandable. Since you live so far up north, you would need a good diesel generator for solar top up. Pour a pad for a 500 gallon diesel tank, and you’re all set. Best part is you don’t have a meter to go out on ya. Fantastic job man!
You’re killing it bud. Absolutely stellar attitude and understanding of how life works. Way to make your own way and provide a fantastic example to not only 20 year olds, but many others of all ages stuck in a mental dream they don’t know how to take the first tentative steps into. Just fantastic example for all of us. Love watching your efforts and results and continually amazed at your follow through.
Thank you. Nice job explaining your dream. It makes total sense to me, being 60 years old and still chasing my dream. You're very much on your way. Keep it up, awesome content.
You’re absolutely killing it. I had built. 2 shells with a guy who had been building--400 miles from me-but ended up buying a set of logs, rented his boom truck, and built a spec shell to put my product out in my area . It sold before I was done, 20 years later and over 125 handcrafted structures I’ve never advertised. Build a smaller spec shell on a busy road and bang, you’re open for business 👊
Once your logs are dry and have devolved decent size cracks it will only take a yr of rain to develop dry rot in the cracks......get some board defense ect and spray heavily every 2-3 months if you leave it set up for a while before pilutting a roof on it.
Hey there ya I am very worried and wish there was a roof on it yesterday. I have been treating with borate, is that what you meant? i think it may have autocorrected on you
I use Board Defense it is a borate yes, i do use Bora Mold as well on all the inside saddle joints as it will keep mold away. Borat will not inhibit mold. I use a water transfer pump hooked to a garden hose with a apple sprayer nozzle on the end for spraying. I spray the inside v groove cut on all the laterial scribes before i put each log on the wall. Its very fast with a the pump, i leave it hooked up in the log yard. I can link a amazon pump ect if you want@TraplinesandInlines
Keep doing you dude….you are an inspiration for young people who don’t have their shit together. I’m 54, started flying at 17, commercial rotary by 21, and completely changed paths….Im happy where I ended and the life I have! If it doesn’t make you happy, don’t fucking do it!
My Dad always had comments that he would drill into our heads all through our youth..."Woulda, shoulda, coulda"......"There is no such word as 'can't' "......"lazy is a state of mind, not an action".....These always came with a 'boot'.....
You’re definitely not crazy! You’re smart to do this now while you can, it would be difficult with family relying on you for sure. I was so happy today when I got the notification on my phone that you had a new video out, couldn’t wait to get home and watch! You are truly an inspiration man, I sincerely hope everything lines up for you , and I’m sure it will. You are obviously persistent, and I know you’ll see this through to the end. BTW, I thought I’d let you know, your t-shirts are top notch, very good quality. I’m very particular with t-shirts, I always grab yours from the pile first, it’s comfortable and doesn’t shrink. Looking forward to your next video!
Watching your channel should be required viewing for ALL young people. You demonstrate what is possible when you get an idea in your mind and you force yourself to keep at it regardless of how 'hard it is'. I've been watching you from the beginning and I couldn't be more proud of you. Looking forward to viewing every release. Thanks for the exceptional content, young man!!
Doing seems to be the cure for everything uncertain. What wonderful results we have seen over the last 3 years. Proud of your example for all of our young people. Every step you've taken has built your confidence and success. The slowing down you describe and not jumping in unprepared is growing up. Looking for the access to power is a good plan. Now you have an idea about what you want all the time, not half the time. Best!
Your mindset and philosophy on life is absolutely right! You're a young man with time to build your dreams before you have others depending on you. I am a 72 year old man living in London England who bought a piece of land in W. Virginia and next year will start building on it. I'll start with a prefabricated building as a base but my plan is to build a log cabin. To me, your cabin is pretty much the pinnacle of what's achievable by one man and is up there with Shawn James' cabin. You inspire me and what you have built encourages me to believe that I can build my own dream. Keep on moving ahead, following your own path and marching to your own drum. It's got you this far and with great success! All the best from 🇬🇧
You've really managed to accomplish what many would hope to in a life in your first quarter. I always wanted to build my own house, and ittook me until age 28 to become a carpenter.. Your self awareness and commitment to your goals have got you a head start on life. Congrats on what you've done, eager to see what you build from here.
You’re not crazy mate you are doing something you love and building your dream home. I’m about 20yrs older than you and you’re an inspiration to me. So thank you for your content 👍🏻👍🏻
😊 Your log home sure is a beauty. What a huge achievement! Its been a joy to watch the process, and see how far you've come. Great job !😊👍👍 Maybe consider Solar power. I know thats expensive too. Diesel generators. Just Ideas.
Well done to you, from a veteran from the UK, I'm 70 and love your get-up-and-go..... Excellent... Just go for it...... You can live on solar, batteries, and gas; your water is good... So go for it and get that roof on...... Well done....
You have come a long way from that wild kid slapping together that bushcamp shack. You have truly become an inspiration. Absolutely love following your journey. Might seem weird coming from a stranger, but I’m very proud of you for everything you’ve accomplished!
So let me get this straight. You're 23 years old and own a custom built, hand scribed log cabin that's probably 70-80% complete. Worth somewhere between a quarter and a half a million dollars. And you've developed the skills and knowledge to replicate this many times over. If you could put together a small crew to help you and cut down the time it would take, any one (that could afford what you're worrh)would be honored to have you build them a home. Dude, I'm not sure you realize how AWESOME you are.
Totally agree. At this age and achieving so much
Totally agree!!! I'm in my 70s and wish I had his drive when I was his age!!
Thats what i was thinking👍👍😁!!! You said it.
He amazes at everything he does
.. I'm sure Mom and family are extremely Proud 🦚
He is definitely AWESOME and DEADLY!
I started watching an ambitious, 17 yr old High School kid with big dreams and I'm now enjoying a 23 yr old man making his dreams come true. Congratulations my friend. Its been a pleasure to be on this journey with you.
Same here
Ignore all the negative comments mate .. you are an absolute inspiration.. keep doing what your doing 👍🏼
Thank you my friend but dont worry about me at all I am very lucky to have an amazing group of friends on youtube who are overwhelmingly supportive and positive like yourself. I get very very few negative ones
That is certainly hard work, and I’m glad you take it seriously. The risk of injury or death is tremendous, and you’ve overcome that. Great job! Keep up the good work. I look forward to your upcoming videos.

What you are doing young man To me its amazing. I dont know you and im really pround of every thing you achieve in life 😊@TraplinesandInlines
You have my support 🙏👼
Friend I’m not one who asked why you do things the way you do, I’m one who appreciates watching you overcome every obstacle in your path! Respect👌♥️
Scottish, 50 yrs old, served my country as an engineer! You effortlessly command my respect! Keep being you dude! Breath of fresh air.. looking forward to next video! Good luck in all you do, but you don’t need luck, you have skills bro! Keep going! 🥰
Smart,with alot of skills at such young age.n mad energy,such hard wrkr.n all those togther makes u.....deadly
Keep being you. Always look forward to watching your videos.
I’ve discovered that everything has a purpose and will be revealed when the time is ripe. God bless you with your dream.
U KILLIN IT YOUNG MAN SO PROUD OF YOU A REAL ROLE MODEL I CANT COMMEND YOU ENOUGH!!!
I think by now you must realize that most of us do not think you are crazy. We continue to return video after video because you inspire us. We all have goals which can sometimes be overwhelming. You continue to show us that with determination and focus, it can be done. Thank you for taking us along.
You’re living the best life. Simple debt free . Smartest thing you can ever do. Keep on this path. Proud of ya .
I did this same thing in 1983. I had the property, built the home, here it is 2024 and I’m still working on it. Time is so short, you’ve got the basics, don’t second guess yourself, stay on course. Don’t worry about the goal, you already know where you’re going. Have fun!
You aren’t insane, you’re ambitious. And a certain percentage of people suck and unfortunately they tend to be quite loud and proud.
One of my biggest regrets in life was to reach nearly 50 before I came round to this way of thinking, no longer have the energy or health to do something on this scale.
Well done for tuning into what is important in life while you are in a position to do it.
Anyone who thinks you are "crazy" is the one with the mental problem, not you. No need for you to worry. You've got a good head on your shoulders.

To think your hands have covered every square inch of your build is amazing.. great work !

literally just a kid and seams to be more mature than most of the people around me including my self (and im in my late 40’s) so much clarity and determination. He it’s just amazing!❤
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again! You are an inspiration to many of us elders and society as a whole.
Great share. You're a great blessing to every one who has the vision to appreciate what you're going for.
thank you my friend
You’re doing an amazing job brother, dream big live bigger!!, your Alaskan brother, God bless bro 🙏
I remember when you practiced scribe fitting at bush camp, brother you’ve come so far, proud of you 👍
I'm so glad you Clarified the no foundation thing with us and what your plans are on the build. Your doing a awesome job!
You have done a Amazing Job on your home. You have done more than very few your age could do. Congratulations.
Your investing in yourself,,,and those investments will pay off later in life,,,keep moving forward!
Im 53 and Im pretty good with my hands and can tackle most projects with ease. Im not sure I could even begin to atempt what you are doing. I have been watching you for a long time and I am absolutely amazed and your intelligence level and craftsmanship at the things you undertake. How you speak and your thought process is extremely rare these days not only for a young man but for anyone. I would love to spend a day with you just to talk shop and tell you to your face what an honor it is to be apart of your growth as a man but also as a true craftsman. Thank you very much for being a part of my life and allowing me to be a part of yours. I read alot of the comments to your videos and I have to say, you are an inspiration to many people. You give me hope and drive when I watch you. My young friend, Im not sure you realize how special of a person you are.
It's nice to see a young man planning for his future. Make sure when you start a family you use the same determination. Young families face a lot of stress. It takes work, and a lot of patients to make it. The idea that you can just put it down and go back to the bush (something you know) will enter your mind. Relationships take something different.
Your optimism has brought you to where you are today. Blood, sweat and tears....and perhaps a side of cussing is fuel to keep your dream in sight. It's been an honor to watch you grow throughout this project.
Kuddos to you !!
On a side note, I received the royal blue crewneck sweater ordered from your store. Absolutely love the fit and material..
Hey thank you my friend and I am very glad to hear that you like the sweater! one of my favourites they are very nice for this time of year
Your transparency, honesty and humble attitude is very appreciated! Keep up the great work!!
the good thing is hes still young..im 43 and jsut bought my first bit of land i got tired of waiting,, im not this far along my project but ill be there..him being this young he can enjoy it for quite soem time.. its fun being in the bush its not for everyone .
You’re not crazy. Nothing is impossible but some things are just really hard. Keep going forward.
Stay off grid as much as you can!! Get a good solar system with a back up gen. You can always make it bigger and bigger as time goes on.
Don't stop now, I'll be here watching when you finish. And I am looking forward to that day!!! I will
celebrate with you.
You are way beyond your years It is very difficult to believe you are only 23. Always follow your dreams, never give up on them. You have a very bright future. I am hoping that you find a parcel of land that is serviced and that is reasonable in price. For all our hard work, you deserve that, Have been watching your videos from the first and enjoy them very much Keep up the great work All the best Take care
What a beauty cabin man
Always follow your dream❤
What an absolutely smart, extremely hard working top young bloke, much respect to you from New Zealand. ONWARD
Absolutely the best log build I’ve seen on you tube . You’re doing it right👍
All the progress in your construction is impressive, I love your content, you are a magnificent example to follow, my best wishes.
Glad to see you are alive and well. I lived in meadow Lake for years and about 25 years ago a guy built his own log home south of town. He was using a front end loader to lift his logs and half way through the build one of them rolled off the bucket and down the arms striking him. He broke his back but survived and they were able to finish the house. I was hoping you hadn’t got hurt yourself. There were two brothers who built log homes west of Rapid View. For years I drove by and watched them strip, assemble and take apart the logs and deliver their craft. You seem to be doing a very good job yourself. Nothing but respect sir.
Just finished watching all the building videos of this project, and from an 26 yo Italian guy who has the exact same dream to be able one day to build his own logs house, this is far more than awesome! And you are!
Its kinda strange because seeing someone else doing the same dream project of yours makes me think a lot, but a the same time im super happy for you bud!
Instead of blaming my self for now im trying to learn as much as possible from your experience, also because until now I didn’t had the possibilities to try and learn how to cut/trim/use logs, but one day for sure i will!
Huge new fan of you keep it up the work , we are all loving it and you’re amazing!
I have worked on several scribed log homes, and your scribes, and the notches are as good as any others I have seen. Just remember to follow the allowances for shrinkage, and you'll do just fine. These homes are unbelievably warm, and relatively easy to heat. A 10 inch pine log has an R value of 40.
Thank you my friend I appreciate that compliment greatly. you are right and i will pay close attention to settling allowance
I have only been watching you for about a year or so. And I have to say I wait for your video's. Your mom must be so proud of you. I can say this as I am a mom to sons your age. My only complaint is there are not more of your videos. Ignore negative Nancys. They are just jealous.
Be cautious choosing a partner down the road , two words , pre up ….. protect yourself
Found this channel when he was putting the roof on his bushcamp cabin, must've been 5 years ago now. Never imagined he would be getting ready to put a roof on a massive log cabin like this. Unbelievably impressive work
I'm more than twice your age, and I can say for certain that you have your sh1t together a LOT better than I do. You're starting out the right way, and following your dreams. I made the mistake of listening to people telling me that my dreams were the wrong way to go about life, so now after wasting over 20 years trying to achieve the "Canadian Dream" I'm finally back on track and trying to follow my dreams, regardless of what people are telling me. I promise you that you are going to go far in life, and I know nothing is going to stop you.
Almost at the 100k subs mark now too, which is amazing! Every channel I've seen that hits the 100k mark will just explode after that milestone. I think your channel is going to become HUGE in the very near future.
I wish you the very best sir, and thank you for taking us along on your journey. Your videos are spectacular and I really enjoy the content you share with us. Thank you
Proud of you young man. Would be proud to call you son!
thank you my friend
Slow and steady wins the race! You’re doing great. You have a very good head on your shoulders. Very talented and smart. Keep up the good work. You my friend, are going to win in life! I will always be watching and supporting you!
You are just an amazing young man. I just love your commentary and your work ethic is so admirable. I haven’t seen any negative comments and don’t want to. And if they exist, ignore them. Thanks for bringing us along. ❤️
Crazy! I didn't realize it had been 6 years already but, I've been watching you since the beginning. I'm even more impressed to learn that you're now ONLY 23! You've got the future in the palm of your hands buddy. You're waaay ahead of the majority. I commend you on your achievements and at almost 50, I only wish I had prioritized what's important as much as you have, even though I have no regrets. Keep on keepin' on!
It’s good that you are trying to take your time and thinking things out while you’re building your log cabin. Stay safe and keep moving forward with this project.
Go mate, go for it because your dream is yours
Greets from the Neterlands 🇳🇱
Your wise beyond your years, I'm sure your family is so proud of you! Way To Go!
Dude, I’m from Australia so I have no idea on the market for these, but I’m assuming really good quality, custom made,hand crafted log shells would be pretty hard to come by. You have a very good business model right in front of you man.
The market isn't there really. The problem is the people who can afford this level of custom effort don't typically go for this sort of thing.
The people who want custom log cabins typically build their own because of the price point. I'm not going to pay somebody $250,000 to do this, and that's the labor hours not the logs.
That'll be a dang nice home for sure wherever it ends up.
You are truly an inspiration dude, I’m 26 from the UK and became an instant fan of yours when I joined the channel around ep 4/5 😊 your optimism and determination are wonderful traits that shine through you so naturally that there is no doubt in my mind that you’ll realize your dream and have your handcrafted beautiful home one day. I wish you good fortune and inner strength through the grueling challenges that lie before you bröther ❤ good luck and stay awesome dude x
You are living and going after your dream ! You didn't wait until you were retired or had all the funds necessary! You are such an inspiration and a great role model for young men and women! Keep on keeping on my friend! Cheering you on from Maine!
Bro, don't even sweat! Your progress, your drive, and your hard work are not only amazing, but have obvious fantastic results!
I cannot WAIT to see you find the perfect spot, and put in the foundation, because when that happens, you are going to go through a giant mental change! you think you are seeing the reality now? Wait until you see it come to the point where it is absolutely going to become your dream
It’s a beauty spot! If you want to keep it for yourself, don’t let the power grid be a hold up for ya. Spend some cash upfront for a little bigger solar setup. I know you have some already. Great thing about solar it’s always expandable. Since you live so far up north, you would need a good diesel generator for solar top up. Pour a pad for a 500 gallon diesel tank, and you’re all set. Best part is you don’t have a meter to go out on ya. Fantastic job man!
You’re killing it bud. Absolutely stellar attitude and understanding of how life works. Way to make your own way and provide a fantastic example to not only 20 year olds, but many others of all ages stuck in a mental dream they don’t know how to take the first tentative steps into. Just fantastic example for all of us. Love watching your efforts and results and continually amazed at your follow through.
Keep it up brother! I been watching your journey for a long time..long before the log house. You are more than inspiring.
Thank you. Nice job explaining your dream. It makes total sense to me, being 60 years old and still chasing my dream. You're very much on your way. Keep it up, awesome content.
You’re absolutely killing it. I had built. 2 shells with a guy who had been building--400 miles from me-but ended up buying a set of logs, rented his boom truck, and built a spec shell to put my product out in my area . It sold before I was done, 20 years later and over 125 handcrafted structures I’ve never advertised. Build a smaller spec shell on a busy road and bang, you’re open for business 👊
Once your logs are dry and have devolved decent size cracks it will only take a yr of rain to develop dry rot in the cracks......get some board defense ect and spray heavily every 2-3 months if you leave it set up for a while before pilutting a roof on it.
Hey there ya I am very worried and wish there was a roof on it yesterday. I have been treating with borate, is that what you meant? i think it may have autocorrected on you
I use Board Defense it is a borate yes, i do use Bora Mold as well on all the inside saddle joints as it will keep mold away. Borat will not inhibit mold. I use a water transfer pump hooked to a garden hose with a apple sprayer nozzle on the end for spraying. I spray the inside v groove cut on all the laterial scribes before i put each log on the wall. Its very fast with a the pump, i leave it hooked up in the log yard. I can link a amazon pump ect if you want@TraplinesandInlines
Keep doing you dude….you are an inspiration for young people who don’t have their shit together. I’m 54, started flying at 17, commercial rotary by 21, and completely changed paths….Im happy where I ended and the life I have! If it doesn’t make you happy, don’t fucking do it!
My Dad always had comments that he would drill into our heads all through our youth..."Woulda, shoulda, coulda"......"There is no such word as 'can't' "......"lazy is a state of mind, not an action".....These always came with a 'boot'.....
You’re definitely not crazy! You’re smart to do this now while you can, it would be difficult with family relying on you for sure.
I was so happy today when I got the notification on my phone that you had a new video out, couldn’t wait to get home and watch! You are truly an inspiration man, I sincerely hope everything lines up for you , and I’m sure it will.
You are obviously persistent, and I know you’ll see this through to the end. BTW, I thought I’d let you know, your t-shirts are top notch, very good quality. I’m very particular with t-shirts, I always grab yours from the pile first, it’s comfortable and doesn’t shrink.
Looking forward to your next video!
You’re doing everything at the right time in your life as your young and as you get older you can have extreme pride in what you’ve achieved 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Watching your channel should be required viewing for ALL young people. You demonstrate what is possible when you get an idea in your mind and you force yourself to keep at it regardless of how 'hard it is'.
I've been watching you from the beginning and I couldn't be more proud of you. Looking forward to viewing every release. Thanks for the exceptional content, young man!!
Every video is bringing you closer to 100K subs! Very exciting times, my friend!
Yep that's for sure I have been very excited about that milestone for a long time!
Doing seems to be the cure for everything uncertain. What wonderful results we have seen over the last 3 years. Proud of your example for all of our young people. Every step you've taken has built your confidence and success. The slowing down you describe and not jumping in unprepared is growing up.
Looking for the access to power is a good plan.
Now you have an idea about what you want all the time, not half the time. Best!
Love the videos buddy! Canada all the way!!!! Woot woot
Your mindset and philosophy on life is absolutely right! You're a young man with time to build your dreams before you have others depending on you. I am a 72 year old man living in London England who bought a piece of land in W. Virginia and next year will start building on it. I'll start with a prefabricated building as a base but my plan is to build a log cabin. To me, your cabin is pretty much the pinnacle of what's achievable by one man and is up there with Shawn James' cabin. You inspire me and what you have built encourages me to believe that I can build my own dream. Keep on moving ahead, following your own path and marching to your own drum. It's got you this far and with great success!
All the best from 🇬🇧
You've really managed to accomplish what many would hope to in a life in your first quarter. I always wanted to build my own house, and ittook me until age 28 to become a carpenter.. Your self awareness and commitment to your goals have got you a head start on life. Congrats on what you've done, eager to see what you build from here.
You’re not crazy mate you are doing something you love and building your dream home. I’m about 20yrs older than you and you’re an inspiration to me. So thank you for your content 👍🏻👍🏻
😊 Your log home sure is a beauty.
What a huge achievement!
Its been a joy to watch the process, and see how far you've come.
Great job !😊👍👍
Maybe consider Solar power. I know thats expensive too. Diesel generators.
Just Ideas.
Well done to you, from a veteran from the UK, I'm 70 and love your get-up-and-go..... Excellent... Just go for it...... You can live on solar, batteries, and gas; your water is good... So go for it and get that roof on...... Well done....
Thanks Richard and yep you got that right! Its all very possible
You have come a long way from that wild kid slapping together that bushcamp shack. You have truly become an inspiration. Absolutely love following your journey. Might seem weird coming from a stranger, but I’m very proud of you for everything you’ve accomplished!
