Building Off Grid Log Cabin - S 2 Ep 1 / Starting a New Chapter

[@minecrafter897]

The people complaining about cutting down trees need to learn about active forest management. It's an important part of maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Active forest management is used in a lot of places to prevent wildfires for example. Nature will take over when a forest gets too dense to maintain the proper ecosystem. One man harvesting a relatively small amount of trees isn't going to disrupt the balance.

[@nitro5955]

And I am sure that the people complaining about the trees being cut down are in a house/apartment that was built from wood. Wood is a natural resource that can easily be used and replenished like you said.

[@AlanXEverfrost]

@@nitro5955 As long as it does get replenished. As in, replanted and given time to grow, and the trees taken evenly rather than just in one small area leaving it more dificult to grow naturally. If used and harvested responsibly, wood can be a great resource. It's people that hear about "forest management" and use it as an excuse to do whatever they want that make it a problem. Or only understand a small part of it and conjure up a "scientific" theory that they rebuild their reality on, like those (only ever read it once) that think that air pollution by carbon dioxide isn't a problem because it's all food for trees, so people that worry about it are idiots. Like there doesn't exist a limit to what one tree can do.

[@leechylivey4881]

@@AlanXEverfrost i planted 300 trees so there all the trees he cut down is very much evened out so no one can complain theres plenty of trees its not like all 7 billion people in the world are deciding to go make a cabin in the middle of no where we are far from running low on trees at the moment doubt we ever will

[@yohanforrest5376]

We have more trees on this planet than we did 100 years ago. Know why California has wildfires all the time? Bad Forrest management. They have a huge amount of eucalyptus trees which was given to us by Australia back in the early 1900s...thing is eucalyptus is very easy to catch fire especially when they’re mature around 70-80 years. 2 biggest Forrest fires so far this year are California and Australia

The scenes of the fog lifting over peaks was so well done it was inspiring. I know you often go to that spot and show it on your channel, it is always so beautiful but never more so than what was shown on this video. I know your real reward at the end of the day is looking at what you have done, even it may not be as much as you hoped for, you can look back at it and see something finished, that is not true for so many people who work in other jobs.

Nice to meet you. I am Japanese. My name is Jota Inui. I was a teacher for 27 years, but I had a stroke and had to quit my beloved job. And now, I am creating woodwork art works using world heritage Yakusugi and sacred trees. I have a variety of disabilities due to cerebral infarction. The right face has pain from being cut with multiple kitchen knives. And the left lower leg was left with a disability that was burned by the gas burner. Except when I'm sleeping, I'm living in a living hell of intense pain. In that living hell of pain, I am creating fishing charms and woodwork art works using the world heritage Yakusugi and sacred trees. I watched your KZbin and was deeply moved. Because you are challenging yourself with a very difficult task by yourself. And you are always working hard to make your dreams come true. Your home build is amazing. When I look at your house building, I feel that you are creating a work of art called a house. When I saw you working hard, my heart warmed and I thought that I had to work harder. Even though I am disabled, I have much to learn from your way of life. You are such a wonderful human being. I respect you with all my heart. And you give me the strength to survive. Sincerely thank. thank you very much. I look forward to your success. you are a really great human being.

your doing an amazing job, my heart goes out to you not only for moving forward after muscling through unjust coments of others but having the strength and courage to follow your dream. Im one of the many you may not have the time to reply to my message but in all honesty id rather see more of you full filling your dream I myself have a soft spot for log cabins and living in such close connection with nature. the bad comments i care not to search for you explain about cutting down trees what the individuals seem to have forgotten nore care to surender there thoughts is that its your land , your trees not public land or trees . Ill tell you Id hate to have a run in with someone who dares to tell me how to devellop my land especially when your carbon foot print clearly is nerly zero . also you clearly have introduced your friends and familly to your wild life property to experience what personally I would die to experience myself. your hsrd work and perseverance if it hasent already full filled a massive part of your life your time and energy has opened up many questions I myself have had about log home building . Im truly sorry you had to deal with such negativity when you have shown me some of the most positive things there is to learn about friends , family, sharing and giving at no ones expence but your own . once again Nik thank you brom the bottom of my heart for striving for excelence and perfection it really does show allot about a person if i had the opourtunity to meet you and call you my friend i would like nothing more . keep pushing through the haters they will eventually get what they give ive seen it with my own eyes just keep positive and follow your passion live simply , dream big, and if anything be greatful and it is very evident you are.

You are actually doing the forest service by thinning out the larger trees so the younger one may grow bigger and healthier than they would if you had done nothing.

The amount of carbon those particular trees could have filtered our if the atmosphere is far less than the amount of pollutants that would have been created by using concrete blocks, bricks and mortar! Log house building has a much lower net carbon footprint than most other construction methods. And you replace trees with fresh planting. You’re doing just fine!

[@ashscott6068]

They weren't baby trees anyway. Their days of storing carbon were all but over. Then it's back into the dirt, and they release that carbon back into the cycle in the form of the dreaded C02. If you build shit out of wood, that carbon stays locked up in the form of that shit. Meanwhile, new trees grow to replace them, locking up even MORE of the nasty, nasty, evil CO2. Greenies are over privileged little snots, who don't even understand the very thing they pretend to get all ragey about. And I say "pretend" cus every last one of them is play-acting. Take away their luxurious lives, and watch them suddenly decide they don't have time for LARPing as hippies at the weekend, anymore. Australia is reaping the rewards of pandering to eco-whiners, right now. "Wahhh! burning the bush releases evil CO2, which causes tsunamis!" so then they get their way, and the whole country burns perfectly naturally. A ton of wood used to build a house, is a shitload of CO2 that ain't going into the atmosphere any time soon. But you can't educated rich white people with dreadlocks. 'Cus, you know...they went backpacking in Peru on their gap-year, so they're just a little more spiritual than the rest of us.

It is a pleasure to watch you work. I am binge watching your videos while staying home due to COVID. It is a welcome distraction. Thank you for sharing!

You are an inspiration. They are your trees! Beautiful craftsmanship!

I'm surprised it's took me so long to find your channel but you seem like an amazing person, the care you have for the trees warms my heart and you're a huge inspiration. You've got a new subscriber and I'll be sure to tell my friends about you 😊

The two cabin build videos that I’ve seen by you are by far my favorite videos on KZbin. They are very relaxing and just awesome to watch. I sat and watched the 2 hour documentary and tbh I say it’s a better movie than IT chapter 2. lol keep up the hard work and push through. 🤘😁

Your parents must be proud of you, you're a good man.

Watch a lot of videos, nobody is as enjoyable as watching you build. Stay safe.
