Building A-Frame Cabin in Northern Sweden Part 1

[@KalleFlodin]

Thank you so much for being here and supporting my channel! ❤ If you want to see Part 2 of the A-Frame build straight away, head to www.curiositystream.com/kalleflodin and grab the deal to get nebula and Curiosity Stream for just $14.79. Part two is live on Nebula right now! 😊

[@TheOhmann23]

I think someone is pretending to be you answering some comments saying to dm kalleflodin73 to win a gift. I reported the comment that answered one of my comments, but just thought I wanted to let you know :/

[@GreenLifeInDublin]

Will do! I find it great that we can support creators just by using their links. The best of luck.

[@Fat2Fit5k]

@kalle flodin how do you stream the 2nd part? I have curiosity steam but it said the Nebula app is being set up

[@karinhernvall440]

I also wonder, paid 14.79 but No Nebula ? How do we get that for 14.79 ? Only Curiosity??!!

[@karinhernvall440]

How do we get access to Nebula ? There is No information or link egen you have paid ?

[@sunrise1201]

I love your honesty and transparency. "Yes, this video needs to be out there, so I can continue building my life." Not many creators are brave enough to say that. You have my respect, Kalle. Would love to visit Sweden someday, but now I need money to build my future, so root for me, please. Can't wait for your next video!

[@melissamiller399]

This is going to be so peaceful and beautiful to be in the middle of nature

Looks like there's a scammer pretending to be Kalle on here - be careful

And soooo cold.

[@Nefra2025]

Design wise it looks beautiful. Few advices, since I built similar structure recently: 1. OSB is very unstable for torsion and bearing. I find it very unusual to see it as construction element supposed to "carry" weight. I see it is framed but I would definitely reccomend you to add more horizontal strengthening between triangels. For construction (weight bearing elements) beams I usually use pine wood. 2. Your lowest wooden beam is too close to the ground, moisture evaporating from the soil will fasten the rotting effect. I tried to lift it at least 50cm from the ground to allow air to circulate. Also I treated it with several layers of impregnation and paint. You could also just burn it on the outer layer. In my region (e.g. Northern Croatia in hills or mountains) there are wooden buildings 100+ years old, using the burning wood technique. Traditional construction technics can be a great learning source.

[@quikxfl]

Perhaps it is a kit

[@warghem]

If you look into masonite beams you'll find that it's a respected company with well tested products. It will hold i promise. Then if you look into Isak Stålenhag, he is a seasoned lumberjack who also works with restoring old buildings. So i think he's got everything covered!

[@Nefra2025]

@@warghem might be, but still, I think it needs to be then supported horizontaly to avoid torsion. Regarding wood being close to the ground, like I said, I think it will shorten longevity of the building significantly. Which is shame, since building looks awsome.

[@warghem]

@@Nefra2025 To be clear, i agree with your second point. And i also might want to cover the ground under so that the brush don't grow. Maybe @KalleFlodin kan clear things out for us? Anyways, cool build and i think it's great that you Frane are taking the time to share your skill and knowledge!

[@Nefra2025]

@@warghem yes, I covered the ground with geotextile, but air flow is even more important. Since wood would need to dry faster, and avoid being soaked with moisture all the time.

[@StefanFilmmaker]

Kalle, it's been such a pleasure discovering your channel. Such a refreshment to see someone not trying to embellish the truth, and portray perfect life, yet a real life with both beauty and struggle. Thank you for creating and sharing with us. 🎬🌲🌲🌲

[@ChrisC-Pi]

Great video! that must have been so much work, not only all the hard labour to build it and in the snow, but all the filming and editing, great job!

[@adognamedsight]

Ok

[@danb8031]

Kalle, I don't usually leave comments but I found your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love it! You come across as a really down to earth guy who takes pride in their work and that comes across well with the quality of your videos. Your lifestyle is so interesting to watch. I'd love to see you travel to other places where people live like this and capture how they live along with your storytelling skills.

[@julienelson8162]

I think what I appreciate most about these videos is the amount of respect you have for everything you touch, from a piece of kindling to the massive beams you’re carrying to the site, from your girls to your partner, from the frigid Ivey cold days to your walks through the forest with blue skies and the pure warmth of the sun. Thank you, again, for sharing. You are showing me how to be more gentle with my environment, wherever that may be.

[@LoraStaneva]

Seeing the A-frame come together is so inspiring! ☺I am excited to see part 2 and also the interior in the end. I think it will be so cozy 🛖🌲✨

[@isaacfarmer7138]

I don’t normally comment or like videos, but I think this needs to be spread through KZbin like you said. There’s something so peaceful and natural about building a house or cabin in the middle of the woods. I think more people need this inspiration to get out of the city and go be in nature, even if it’s just long enough to build a cabin and stay in it on weekends or just when a getaway is needed. There’s something amazing about having somewhere to escape to for some peace and relaxation. Thanks for sharing this build. The algorithm worked because this is the first time I’ve seen your channel, and I’ll be checking out more!

[@gailvandenberg546]

My husband and I build our home 40 years ago, before nail guns--hammers only. Since then I've enjoyed watching others build and remember our experiences. Quite the adventure. I enjoy your videos.

[@NittyNorth]

Looks awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing how this cabin develops 😁

[@KalleFlodin]

Same here! 😊

[@unstirredHK]

Love your work. It helps to get distracted. How nice to have these kind people that helps to build your project.

[@hameley12]

At the mark 6:51 I breathed easily knowing that you have help. I cannot imagine working in the freezing cold and within a timeframe. I don't know what time you have given yourself but I'm very excited to see the build and completion. As Fazakas Andrea has said in the comments, we are very happy to see an inspiring and down to earth and honest KZbin creator. From some of your interviews with your beautiful wife I have noticed that in everything that you do, from the projects to the lifestyle, you do much for love and for living. I'm here for the journey. Looking forward to seeing the next videos and future interviews! Thank you, Kalle!

[@dondule88]

I stumbled upon your channel recently and I've been hooked ever since. And not sure if it's you or KZbin, but the auto translation shows 'thank you' every once in a while and it's just a nice touch 😊 keep the videos coming! 🙌

[@ornmalm]

Hej Kalle! KZbin rekommenderade en av dina videos till mig för ca 10 timmar sedan, och sedan dess har jag suttit fastklistrad vid datorn och tittat på dina fantastiska videon. Du har inspirerat mig så oerhört mycket så att jag kan inte tacka dig nog!🙏😊 Jag har drömt om att göra min egna version av det som du gör, och dina videon har övertygad mig om att jag kan göra det!❤ Precis som dig har jag många gånger känt att jag ligger efter i livet, att alla andra har full koll på läget men inte jag... Men tack vare ditt content börjar jag inse mer och mer att allt som har hänt, framförallt det som jag tidigare har betraktat som misslyckanden, har bara pushat mig i den riktningen som jag är ämnad att följa. Du har berättat så mycket i dina videon som jag kan relatera till så att det är nästan läskigt. Tusen tack Kalle🙏 "Who dares wins"

[@victoryengineer]

Thank you Kalle for sharing your videos. I love your content, your easy going outlook and the wonderful location. I struggle with anexiety and depression particularly after my wife's passing not too long ago. It helps to escape for a while watching your videos.

[@kimikoifish7]

Living the dream Kalle! So Happy for you and Christine

[@Fat2Fit5k]

So glad to finally see this come to fruition! I have a project ahead of me when I get home tonight. My father in Law gave me a deer hide to try tanning so wish me luck with my KZbin binging experience and hope I get a nice hide out of it!

[@mzgjai]

thank you for sharing your beautiful A frame… i would LOVE to build my own 💜

[@jaymesquires5050]

Kalle, this place looks so cozy, thank you for sharing your journey with us. I can’t wait to watch the next video.

[@purrsephone2904]

I really enjoyed watching this A-frame video. Thank you, Kalle.💖

[@sergeibrin2691]

Danke!

[@KalleFlodin]

Thank you so much Sergei ❤️

[@marybarret1644]

Those first logs looked very heavy. Glad you had help in moving them. Looks like this A-frame is going to be lovely.

[@InJusticeAustralia]

How wonderful. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Some of us are living out our dreams thru you! ❤

[@carolyncarlon9870]

Amazing! And cooperation is a good thing in construction!

[@joyfox4871]

Love the a frame design, always wanted one when I was younger.

[@nennepanrikefairytaleart4773]

By sharing this you serve humanity, because we learn from you and become inspired! Tack!! Kärlek till er där ....

The weather in Stockholm is sick right now. Were i live outside of Stockholm its snowed more then 1 m in 2 days. Massive lighting stomes as well

[@dan_fow]

Love the content @KalleFlodin!! Great work you are doing, keep going my friend!

[@tedgreen8199]

The A- frame is looking awesome, so cozy

[@ronnieahman6958]

The cabin looks absolutely stunning. Can't wait for the next video. Jätteduktigt jobbat. Huset ser redan mysigt ut. Tack för videon av en relativt ny prenumerant

[@tlembro]

What a process! Beautiful! Please keep us posted!

[@JadenesaKaos]

Thank you Kalle for being so open and transparent with your life. I found you randomly and have been watching so many of your videos because I've been dreaming of a similar life to help me get through the rough spot I'm going through. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you thus far. You give me hope that things can change. Skål my friend.

[@hameley12]

He has so many interesting videos! I highly recommend binge-watching them! Have a fantastic day Jadenesa Kaos!

[@NewingtonBoy]

Great video Kalle! Looking forward to part two!

[@olyggma]

Such a beautiful part of the world you live in. 😊

[@tipou900]

You can have my like, you awesome man! Keep it up!

[@reader649]

Kalle, You and your friends have my awe and admiration for your capacity to endure the frigid winter conditions while doing this construction. Building can challenging even in moderate environments like mine in North Carolina, but while doing it in almost darkness, deep snow and sub freezing temps is amazing. Best wishes!

[@danieladdedtax]

Love watching A-Fram builds! I will have to sign up to nebula now, seen a few other creators mention it but you’re the first to convince me 👍

[@buffalolizard]

Yes indeed, I was very impressed with the amazing Swedish quality that went into the build!

[@CaptainPlanet2112]

The A-Frame looks amazing so far! Cant wait to see what it looks like later on. Will you be making a video on how you got your internet in the future? My wife and I would love to have a cabin in the woods similar to your setup. Thanks for the amazing content!

[@pernillaolmedal5659]

Min man och jag älskar att titta på dina KZbins filmer och drömma lite. Tack!!!

[@KathrinesUnivers]

Wauw it’s cool. Can’t wait to see the finish job 😁

[@jonathancamm896]

Great video and what looks like a wonderful and cosy cabin in the making. I love watching your videos as they are honest and real and you're not trying to paint a picture of a perfect life like many others do. Looking forward to part 2 and seeing the progression of the build. Good luck!

[@joycekepic8947]

Hi, from New York I’m not a KZbinr, but I read on somebody else’s channel that they advised the KZbinr to make a series of short videos so they could get a light which supported the channel more. Maybe that would help pay for your A-frame I think it’s going to be beautiful. I love the scenery. Good luck.

[@jasminagarcia]

Kalle! How nice! This A frame cabin is so dreamy!

[@johannesruppert3089]

Very good footage! I just stumbled upon your channel and I don’t regret it. Kalle, you are a very talented filmmaker! It is obvious that you know something about light, perspective and so on. Very much above average KZbin videos. And having seen a few of your videos I started to really like you as a person, too. I don’t share all of your opinions, but you and your girlfriend are honest, decedent people and very likeable. We do live a very different life from the one you are living now, but I see why you do it. And we are currently remodelling an old house so I know about building and what it costs. I‘ve been to Sweden more than once, but never made it north of Uppsala. But you made me curious, so I will put visiting your area on my bucket list. I wish you very good luck with the new cabin and your life in the woods. Greetings from Germany!

[@MrLec95]

Awesome!! Congrats. If you ever do AirBnB this would be a hit 🔥

[@elsasmum6005]

This is So inspiring. Yes,spread the word.

[@Jennifer-rm1xk]

I appreciate your honesty, Kalle! Please tell us why you chose the design of an A-frame vs any regular cabin style. Can't wait to see the finished project!

[@KoenPloum]

It looks very cold but also so nice to do this work. Good company and good food will get you very far.

[@path.of.true.nature]

That looks great! I am sure it will be a cozy working place. Exited how it will look when it is finished…😍

[@debrakimm6049]

I have always loved the looks of an a-frame.

[@QuesttoFIRE]

Wow. As a fellow creator I cannot imagine the difficulty of getting all these shots, AND during the middle of winter… in the dark… and the snow… Think of it people. The one clip of him carrying the heavy wooden beam: -set up camera, pick up beam, get the shot -put down beam, move camera, pick up beam (AGAIN) get shot, put beam down -REPEAT😱😱 Huge respect for the monumental effort you put into making high production value videos. Amazing! 🙌🏻🫡

[@lonanakken1688]

So rewarding when you see something you imagined and dreamed about come together. Looking forward to seeing it through!

[@kateyshaw7295]

you have my deepest respect for all the hard work you do to achieve a better peaceful life for you and Christine , my husband and l love your videos ..take care and many blessings to you both ....

[@gabiferris4534]

Good luck with your cabin build!

[@bobbobson7872]

New to the channel and loving what I’m seeing - subscribed to see this a frame come together! Good luck!

[@louisesusan]

Good evening! I bet you look back to the scene when you first moved to the cabin, laying in bed freezing that this would be a dream, not reality. Congratulations on this. I absolutely love the design and cannot wait to see how it looks when finished.

[@moniquevelasco20]

It looks she good and I’m sure it’s going to be a beautiful space. Keep it up. Can’t wait to see it finished. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

[@brendakipling7733]

Looking forward to see the inside when finished.

[@coolhodgepodge5778]

Thanks for the video. This feels very welcoming and peaceful.

[@Ana-oc5ip]

It's going to be so cool, so excited to see this building come together.

[@Turk-yv6un]

Amazing craftsmanship Kalle! Thanks for sharing this video!

[@Hb2ljs]

Looks likes it’s coming along great and what fun to help with the building of it. Good luck with it all.

[@ilzitek2419]

I loved the beautiful wintery snow covered trees… that will be an awesome workspace.

Wishing you all the best, Kalle. New subscriber in Canada 🇨🇦❄️

[@nanapoppi3]

Thanks for sharing the process of the building of your A-frame. Hope you keep making more videos of the build because its fascinating to watch.

[@mercurialmagpie8]

It was so fascinating to watch. I admire your strength and tenacity to do a build like this in the cold and especially the snow. Still it must be just heavenly to be working out there in the fresh air. That moment you paused just to breathe in the cold, I could only imagine how magical that was. It's definitely hard work, but you all make it look easy! You all work together as a team and it's amazing to see this build come together. That drone shot through the A-frame was especially neat. Thank you for sharing all of this, Kalle! 💗💗💗

[@claywalthall9485]

Congratulations on your new space. Looks wonderful!

[@KalleFlodin]

Thank you Clay ❤ Yes, I already love it 🥰

Enjoying your build

[@henryascension8702]

I love videos where people are building cabins. Especially in the forest. This is always so inspiring.

[@lessonwithcraig]

“Plan your work, Work your plan” nicely done… 👍🏻😁

[@Scheerjasmin]

Oh and Part 2 of this one was so great. I loved your ideas for the future Inside look of the Aframe. I could really see you sitting on a couch with a cup of tea and watch out of this great window! Really great job!

[@lorilawrence-ham4866]

WOW Kalle This was such a wonderful experience to watch- That is so creative how its like a "A-Frame building kit" sorry if that's not what it's called- I am just saying what it seems like? I hope this goes viral and you get all the money you need to build your cabin- You and your girlfriend DESERVE THE WIRLD- you BITH are so lovely- I adore you both so much and subscribe to both your channels!! can't wait to see the rest- I would not have commented if it wasn't for your honesty and transparency- Sometimes people do not realize how much a simple thing can help- It feels WONDERFUL to be able to help in a small obtainable way! BEST OF LUCK- SENDING YOU BOTH LOVE AND HAPPINESS-

[@NoodleKnows]

Thanks for sharing this video. I love how simple the construction seems when properly laid out and planned ahead of time. I love the look and simplicity of the A-Frame house. Keep up the great work and look forward to the continuation of this A-Frame.

What a great project that will bring more happiness and tranquility to your life! Im in construction and this is the 1st time I’ve seen ground screw anchors. Seems like a great easy solution to not pouring concrete. I’m sure the drill is expensive though.

[@gailordroberts]

Kalle, this A frame build in the cold and snow is amazing. It must be so hard. I live in South Africa, where we have very little snow. You guys are doing a great job. I’m excited to see the result. All of the best.

[@sharenladd2948]

You guys are so impressive that you know how to build a cabin ....I'm happy for you that you're making your dream come true. I'm watching from Utah USA and love all your ( and Christine's ) videos.

[@joaomanuelfabiaodasilva6854]

Thank you for such a great video! It´s really interesting to see how simple building can be...! I know there´s a lot of work behind camera, but in the end... It´s just an A frame... And it looks GREAT!

[@Oldeen89]

Watching this on Saturday morning sets me in such a great mood for the whole weekend. Thank you! I also got to admit I was baffled at first on how those glued on green pieces are enough to hold each A-piece together :P Can't wait for part 2!

[@rossipreissler4449]
