I know the forestry guy made you tear this down and it broke my heart into pieces all the hard work and craftsmanship I'm still addicted and I'm watching it for the third time I love to see your work

I have been watching Bushcraft builds for over 4 years and have never commented before. This is by far the highest quality build I have ever watched. I fancy myself as a woodworker and cabinet maker. The skill to build a shelter like this you very rarely see in furniture, let alone a home. Thoroughly impressed.

That was an amazing project. The fact it was all done by hand with no power tools and on nails or screws shows the level skill he has. Id love to have a house like that out in the mountains away from the craziness of the cities. I can build simple shelters but thats way above my skill level. But watching these videos i have learned a few things. These videos are great for people to see how things are done withput the aid of power tools.

@@DonVonGun Well it’s still wonderful to watch, it was such a masterpiece. A truly one of a kind beauty. It will happen one day, of that I’m sure. Stay motivated on the thought of it. Positive thoughts can really change the outcome. We are our own masters of our destinies & hopefully you will make it happen again (if you want to) and thank you, I’d love to join you ; ) 💕

@@DonVonGun Yes, I can imagine! We can all see the work that takes place off camera. I can’t imagine how much effort/work/hours were put into it, but it was a pure piece of you. An extension of you that although is not standing, is forever immortalised on film that you did that, you achieved it and very few people ever could. Don’t take anything away from yourself for the accomplishment you achieved. Much love to you 💕

My great-grand father n my grand-dad used hand tools just like you, when they built the homes in WA state. My older brother who had a construction business there, one day was talking about the framing n roof tresses of the homes and they had built it to last. They used a lot of 6", 8" and bigger beams for the framing and roof tresses. I guess building log cabins there in the old country of Finland they wanted to be sure the houses lasted for generations. Well 5 almost 6 generations lived there. Only thing I remember really being replaced was porch railings and steps when I was last there. But watching you skillfully build the shelter, took me back to when I would watch as my grand-dad would let me help him sand, stain his rifle gun stocks he would make for hunting rifles, while he would bore out the rifle barrels and machine the trigger, bolt etc. I'd watch the old school master craftsman of making needed things at that time, (era) couldn't be ordered off the internet. I enjoyed your video; only wish you would have narrated it. Told a story of your journey of how you chose the build site, tools you were using. Explaining more the tools and the steps of your build. Just like those old Disney adventure movies, where the characters and animals thought process was narrated. But going to give a 4.5 star rating out of 5. Great job.

Thank you for the comparison :) I agree with you. But i have just begun talking in and over my videos, and wasn't comfortable enough to speak over this one.

Don - are you sure you are not a 'Time Traveller' from a couple centuries ago? Amazing skill and knowledge. Laughed really out loud at the celebration segment. Well deserved. Nice to see Musen when he is frisky. Appreciated the one hour video. I wish you, the family and all the friends a Happy Holiday season.

Thank you :) Best wishes for you and yours as well.

What a Lesson in joinery of wood! I think I need to make a gouge chisel, to build a pole barn, wooden fencing for the loft, and porch rails and supports, and fence for stair case and to build log beds. Thanks for all the ideas, and joinery lessons.!
