Building My Log Home Pt.1 - The Start of a Monumental Project and Journey

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 KZbin.
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 KZbin 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

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.

[@powhana6019]

Considering forest genetic selection was smart

[@kyxxit3664]

Oh no! My husband has adopted "deadly". I hear it all the time now. 😀

[@cherylbryant3125]

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!

[@lostcreekcabin2021]

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. 🇨🇦🍁

[@Ch35tr]

“The tree is in good shape and I didn’t die. And that is 2 things that are important!” Great video and filming.

[@mtmtodd]

I love watching your videos. I'm 70 years old and in watching your videos I relive how I used to be able to work. You keep going for it my young friend. You have a good head on your shoulders. Take care.

[@fwar83]

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.

[@kyxxit3664]

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.

[@Khaymen223]

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 .

[@donaldhofman5257]

You're bringing back great memories from 40 years ago!!

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

@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. !!!!!!🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍✌️👏🇨🇦

[@PavlovsBob]

@@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!

[@lesleycarswell5207]

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 👍

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!!

[@KoH4711]

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.

[@cWatts-zv3oo]

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!

[@Ketniyi91]

You keep me so excited to love being in the woods doing shit like that. Keep it up bro your killing it

[@bossaudio12]

Can't wait for the rest of the series. Hope this will help you out financially too!

[@dennisguethe8296]

Just found your site and am loving it. I admire your tenacity, skill and especially the salty language because too many people tend to be such prudes. Can't wait to see the start of the cabin build.

[@Heisstrong]

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

[@steddyk]

Your lumber jack skills are solid! This is going to be an amazing journey, can't wait for the next one.

[@kathykuttler6968]

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.

[@anthonyrosati8707]

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

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....

[@jonathanemocling3826]

Yup keep it coming. It’s Deadly!

[@pjv59tn51]

[@kalimagik4574]

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!

[@paulabowden5460]

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

[@american_dane]

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.

[@darellsunderlin4670]

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!!

The landing of the tree was spot on to avoid the rocks. You have a natural affinity about everything Bush. You are in the right place in your Life.

[@ArielleViking]

Log cabin builds are favorites of mine. Mint video. ❤️

[@Garrett572xpg]

Keep on being deadly. Especially on those spruce. Can't wait til u start stacking those big Lincoln logs into shape. Anything worth doing in life isn't easy. It sure is rewarding tho. I love logging and trapping also and sawmilling and woodworking. Being in the woods is peaceful ✌️ stay safe cutting

[@jeffmeyer9319]

I am glad you are being safe. Be sure to call for some help when needed.

[@gesiriechturtle2564]

Good job. Excited to see your building plan.

[@buzzwilliams8387]

Great job as always. I have a small tip; put clothes dryer sheets around areas that need protection from mice. They hate the smell.

[@markholmes1346]

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!

What a great way to spend my lunch watching Traplines & Inlines!! 🤙🏻🇨🇦

[@bigshowradio_550]

I'd love to spend the day working with you, but you'd most likely, have to skid my butt out of the woods at the end of the day LOL. Love the location of your future new home too! Don't hurt yourself or you'll lose 100% of your workforce 🙂 Love this project and your channel.

p.s. That log carrier you made is beauty. Works like a charm. I suggest you put more perpendicular logs underneath the timber pile so they don't dry bowed down.

[@jennifergraham9679]

All the best with the new build.
