Building a Log Cabin Start to Finish | Timelapse

Solo log cabin build without any music or words. From clearing the land and harvesting logs, to milling lumber on an Alaskan chainsaw mill for kitchen countertops. The cabin was water tight in 60 days, and I moved in right away. I used spruce logs that were still green due to the lack of time before winter set in. I lived on site during the entire build process staying in a hot tent.

That's a sad ending. That cabin was excellent. I can't get over the dog sitting up in the chair. Thank you.

[@skoteoutdoors]

Yes that's Ronnie. He absolutely loved sitting up there. He misses the cabin just as much

[@W000F]

We need to start a go fund me for this man so we can get him some land. Keep on rocking in a free world 🤘

[@katemccoy8658]

Dang... Awesome build tho, & beautiful dog. Great work.

[@skoteoutdoors]

Rock on baby

[@jerseydevil1]

Where is he located ? I have land in NC

[@mikecayer365]

Where's he felling all these trees then. Can't be legal

[@throwback336]

I agree but we sure as hell don't live in a free world anymore. The last clip in this video is proof. Start the page and list it as the top comment.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Wow! that's a lot of work for one man in 60 days, I trapped for over 10 years and built a couple in that time but small 15+20 and that was a lot of work & I was much younger, Awesome job young man !!

[@skoteoutdoors]

Thank you very much Little Griff. Means alot to have a fellow woodsman give me there seal of approval. And damn right it is a whole lot of work

[@dabesteBazi]

I've been watching a lot of Log Cabin videos lately. This is the best I've seen so far.

[@skoteoutdoors]

Wow thank you, means alot. The internet is full of these type videos now days

[@dabesteBazi]

@@skoteoutdoors thx for that

[@KickstartYourVision]

I agree!💪great video

[@BowTech11]

Man, you are a beast! Incredible job!!!! Broke my heart to see the ending. Don’t give up. Build another one! You got this!

[@Carpenter93]

Good to see that there are still some tough younger men out there in 2023. Loved the video, can’t wait to build my own one day.

[@CutandShoot5x5]

I used to fall a lot of trees in my day but never did I man handle trees like you Brother!!! Mad respect ✊

[@jackiewilliams4426]

This man took Lincoln logs to a whole new level 😮

[@fredfisher3480]

Muscles definitely not “just for show” Impressive job hauling the logs as well as the rest of the build!

[@skoteoutdoors]

bahah no sir, thanks and glad you enjoyed it

[@rocc05rx8]

Got jipped in the end but youre still a boss. I know there will be more to come and i can't wait to see it. Im sitting in the middle east right now for work wishing i had some woods near by. Where im at its nothing but dirt and its 128° lmfao. Can't wait to get home and get some quality outdoors time.

[@josh8344]

Fully applaud. That’s craftsmanship.

[@bluwtrgypsy]

OMG Matty, after all that hard work. It was beautiful and in such a great location. so sad for you. You have so many incredible skills. Keep the faith, you are strong, adaptable and successful in all you do, blessings

[@skoteoutdoors]

Thanks so much! It would take a hell of alot more than this to pump the brakes on this train

[@joehuff1605]

This man is a worker great job something you should be proud of and I have lots of respect for you God bless you

[@J.sh_CDN]

Loved watching this video! I was glad to see that this was actually a large livable cabin, most videos are just a little shelter or maybe a vacation/hunting cabin. I would havee been interested in seeing if the loft upstair could have been turned into a useful space, even if just for the bed and some storage. Likewise, it would be cool if there was a way to mount a flat metal surface on top of the wood burning stove, if even only to have a pot of boiling water, or heat some things up without having to use any other power or gas. Boiling snow for a steady supply of water in the winter also wouldnt hurt, depending on what facilities and such you have already

[@skoteoutdoors]

Ya there was so much more i wanted to document and share. Sometimes just need to be there in the present.

[@clarkkent3730]

@@skoteoutdoors isn't it strange how we all technically live in the wilderness on the same planet yet strangers can tell you where you can and cannot build a log cabin in the middle of nowhere?? what a strange and bizarre world we live in

[@hendognsf]

The whole thing came out great but what I like most is that you made a nice kitchen. I’ve watched tons of videos and this is the first one with a whole kitchen and countertops. 💯

[@mtnbikekid8]

Impressive skills, brother! This was a great experience for you. I’m sure. Thanks for sharing it with us. I am dreaming of doing the same thing on my 29 acre remote parcel.

[@danmac314]

Well that was heartbreaking. When you said "remove the cabin" I assumed skidding it out of there.

[@skoteoutdoors]

Woulda been a whole other ordeal trying to skid this thing further than a few cabin lengths

[@markbrown-sb2zm]

Thats loads of work.Major debarking etc.Massive labour. Great job, looks amazing.

[@shmonsterman1356]

It's nice to know the finial chapter of that exciting super series . It had to be painful at the end to destroy something that you had so much passion for . Thanks for sharing and looking forward the Artic Expedition .

[@skoteoutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you, can't wait to continue sharing the story with you

[@BushcraftExplained]

What an amazing build. I’ll probably watch it again.

[@skoteoutdoors]

thank you, stoked to hear it!

[@eddy_with_a_y]

Sad video to have to make. I was waiting for this one. Super unfortunate that they weren’t able to reason with you to come to a better resolution. Either way, I’m glad you haven’t let it keep you down or hold you back. Your content is excellent, and I hope you keep making it!

[@skoteoutdoors]

Really really appreciate that Eddy thank you

[@albanberaud3952]

Thank you for this moment of peace and happyness 😊

[@yeahbuddy8983]

I sincerely hope you dont let this setback get you down ! You have some awesome skills and your living the life a lot of us hope to live one day. Take the lessons you learned from this build and make the next one better. Awesome video except for the unexpected ending.

[@skoteoutdoors]

Wow thank you very much yeahbuddy. And you see totally right! No way is this slowing me down at all. Just another small chapter to learn from

[@jonathanbell8887]

Broke my bloody heart to see it gone. Everything happens for a reason and the seasons come and go.

[@RodCalidge]

Love the Hollywood chainsaw. Never runs out of gas.

[@skoteoutdoors]

hahah never heard that before, love it. many a tank was burned

[@barnacmongars]

We got the same chainsaw, my first tool belt was the same. Spruce and cedar are nice wood bro you have a dream in the woods I have lots of love and keep being happy in your hard work plus I learn watching you work even has a professional carpenter

[@philipstevens730]

Incredible build, your dog looked so happy sat in that chair. Gutted you had to remove it, but I hope you build another somewhere soon. 🙏🏻

[@michaelm4975]

That was incredible to watch and inspiring, you make it look easy , thanks for sharing 😉

[@hitnorcal]

Beast mode. Also that dog got big real fast.

[@wietse1848]

You are the coolest dude I’ve ever seen

[@jimgree]

Very nice video, no. drama or BS thank you.

[@michaelwalter3301]

A lot of work, because the trees are high and you laid them near together. But so you have a better isolation, thats smart. I think its nowadays ok to youse a chainsaw, so we don’t live in the 19 hundred. Hope you can enjoy your fantastic work.

[@skoteoutdoors]

Yea when it came to log selection alot of my decisions were made just because they were accessible and I had to haul them all by hand

[@AAK007]

I know personally how much work this is. You make it look easy. Cool stuff

[@skoteoutdoors]

I can tell ya that it was not easy at all, very enjoyable but not easy

[@richvail7551]

I can’t believe how well your boards turned out. I had an Alaskan mill and I wasn’t do much better than what you do freehand. Very impressive, you’re definitely one talented individual, an artist with a chainsaw.

[@skoteoutdoors]

Thanks Rich... it takes a little practice but it's easier than it looks. Real trick is to cut mainly with the tip of the saw and try to maintain an even swing always moving the saw back and forth

[@leewright7623]

It is pretty impressive 😊
