I tried to fell a dying Maple...but before I could set my wedges, and release the back cut, the maple began to pop and crack! Could the trunk be so rotten that it's already starting to let go? If so, then it would likely come straight down onto the cabin.

I started to build cabin when I was 14 and now I have my own KZbin channel building my log cabin beside the river

[@user12122]

I think i mentioned about leaving trees too close to the cabin when you were starting build. Never leave them close and you should concide felling more.

On another topic: l saw two unscrupulous folks upload some of your videos as their own here in YT Shorts and they've made money out of your creativity.

[@aerohard]

After following for years, I finally realized why your narrative style seems so comfortably familiar. You, sir, are the Mr Rogers of the Wilderness. No annoying music, no flashy gimmicks, just a guy doing a job and explaining what he is doing in a mellow voice that can capture our attention without shouting.

[@judyschepp8748]

SOOOOOO TRUE!!!!❤❤😊

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Much appreciated, my friend! I think very highly of Mr Rogers, so it is an honor to be somewhat likened to him. 🙂

How I would love to live in a little cabin in the woods! At 68 I still split and stack all the firewood I use for heat all winter. To be in the woods and watch the wildlife and sit by a warm fire must be a little slice of heaven.

[@sandralovegrove2805]

I will meet you at the cabin in our dreams…same dream here☮️🇨🇦🦋💜

Yes I'm 67 and I live in the woods in the foothills of the Adirondack mountains and yes a big slice of heaven! Cheers...

[@elizaonthemountain3464]

I am 65 and also live in the mountains in a log cabin. I absolutely love it. You better love shoveling snow; where I live average annual snowfall is over 30 feet. Yes feet! 😂 Thank goodness I do.

[@helensmith7177]

@@elizaonthemountain3464 wow! I’m afraid I would not live that much! 🥹

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

You sound like my grandpa. He split wood right into his 80s. He enjoyed the work, and it kept him limber. Although he did switch to a mechanical splitter in the last few years.

[@aycoop]

Dearest Outsider, your episodes are so amazingly well done. This old lady is thankful to God for young people like you and your family.

“I’m not going to work too hard”. Proceeds to work harder than most of us on any given day. 😊 hope you get back to 100% soon.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

😅 Yeah, okay. Maybe I didn't exactly take it easy there.

[@comedianmattrossey]

@@TheOutsiderCabin 🤣 When do you ever take it easy in the videos? Oh yeah, there was that one time....but this comment already addressed that. sooo...... Carryon. 😂

[@ChickenFarmer-ep2bp]

Hard to believe that I've been watching your channel for so long. I can remember the first little cabin you built. Before you even started the place you have built now. Amazing how many things have changed for everyone. Thank you for sharing your life with us. May God continue to bless us. And God bless.

[@patrickjrusaw]

It was great seeing Senior Outsider again, he is deeply missed and loved

[@vfdchauffer3606]

I've said it before, but you never cease to amaze me. Dropped that tree like the pro you are and that cabin is absolutely stunning. Well done young man, you make men like me proud to be a part of this world in time I can't always say that.

[@stevejones9788]

That internal view of your cabin looked magical . Very beautiful 😊

[@kelleygiambro7542]

Why am I crying?! I cry because the dad you lost often reminds me of the dad I lost in 2023. They were both supportive, genuine, and willing to teach without being condescending or rude. Gosh, I miss them both. With so much love and respect (as always) from South Carolina 💗💗.

[@LostCaper]

Dito.

[@barbarataylor1535]

It is a joy to watch your projects appear. I have been watching since you and your dad were moving rocks into position for the foundation of the cabin. Thank you for sharing.

[@RJ-go3sn]

"I'm trying to take it easy and not work too hard," says the guy who just worked harder on a laborious situation in snowy, cold weather than we city folks do in a month! Mr. Outsider, I, as I'm sure most of us here do, have so much respect and awe at your ability, analysis, and craftsmanship. Watching you solve, master, and create is pure heaven to those of us who revere the craft! Learning from you about how to triangulate the distance needed to fell a tree left me gobsmacked! I literally stood up and cheered when that tree fell EXACTLY where you had determined! You have my favorite KZbin channel, bar none! You are a treasure! Blessings always.

[@WildBoreWoodWind]

It was lovely to see Senior again. Looking forward to your porch build and what ideas you've come up with, for it.👍👍

[@dadcanufixit]

Your dad would be so proud of you. That cabin is outstanding

[@leopardwoman38]

Thank you for another video! I always look forward to your videos and enjoy them very much!!! 👍👍👍😀💕🌸 When you were taking down the old maple tree and I heard the cracking, I was just as concerned as you. “Uh-oh” was loud in my head. When expanding and building my first house we had several diseased trees to take down. After my dad readied one for a fall, it started make the cracking sound, plus the wind caught it. Luckily we had ropes guiding it’s fall. My neighbors were concerned until they were all down. My dad cut up the very larger diameter wood and took it home with him. I cut up all the smaller diameter wood for the next six months. We had wood for several years for our fire pit to cook meat. We are in a much warmer climate so we did not need wood to keep warm.

[@artokiiskinen1058]

You are one of the channels that inspired me to buy a forest plot of land 2 years ago. Now i am sitting in my small cabin with the fire going. Thank you.

[@jenford7078]

I began watching you way back in the day when you could barely get into the site and remember celebrating that you got your first tractor, you have consistently produced high quality videos and have kept me and many others I'm sure coming back. Seeing you with the trac UTV just forehead slapped me into just how far you've come even more than the cabin being livable and customized in a way that we all envy... Congratulations on all the years of success even through the very trying and sad times, you are a fine man.

[@patriciaherman6499]

Wow forgot about the little cabin nice to see your Dad and all the memories. Feel better soon. Can't wait for the porch build. Blessings to you and your family . 😊🇺🇲

[@bruceleealmighty]

Love the end product. Well thought out builds. Felling trees is such a talent often overlooked. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@elmermason9685]

Thanks for another great video. Great memories working and spending time with your Dad. He may not be with you in person but I’m sure you probably have felt his presence many times at the cabin. Take care and GOD Bless you and your family.

[@madampolo]

I miss your Dad. You and he were so smart in the way you built that cabin so it was easy to disassemble. I look forward to the porch building. I'm so glad the tree came down as you wanted it to come down.

[@adelineme9532]

Love this episode! Wow! Your accuracy in felling the tree is point on!!! Amazing job! Love the live edge lumber you cut from the maple. So beautiful. Seeing clips of your Dad brings tears to my eyes. But I know he’s always with you. Looking forward to seeing your new projects as always!❤

[@robertmacomber4036]

I am glad that you are back making videos. I have missed them greatly.. I hope all is well with your family. I have prayed for you all. Keep those videos coming. Thanks..

[@comedianmattrossey]

Yes he was, and yes we do.

[@tomg6214]

My Dad was a forester and loved how accurately you could fell a tree - he would have loved to watch this one. I can’t wait to see what you make with the lumber… what beautiful wood with which to work!!!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

I appreciate that! I'm sure I could have learned many things from your father in the art of felling.

[@rconger24]

[@wbsims2996]

Thank you for the update. I have been following you through your entire cabin build. I don't believe I've missed a single episode. Thanks for the portion with you and your dad. I still tear up when I think of you two working together. God bless you young man.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Much appreciated, my friend! Thanks for watching so faithfully.

[@theozarkduke]

i don't know why . but i almost started to cry when you yelled Timber!, i haven't heard that in years well since i was a teen in the woods of Arkansas in the 1970's when my Dad yelled it all the time falling tree's.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

It's amazing how even the simplest of sights or sounds can instantly transport us back in time to some fond memory. Glad I was able to provide a little dose of nostalgia for yeah. 🙂👍

[@seansysig]

Seeing your Dad in the video brought back good memories from the early days of you two spending precious time with each other that are forever etched in your mind. I hope you and your daughter can have such a bond in nature.

[@daphne9167]

My Husband has been cutting trees down in our backyard and have many to go. What perfect timing to catch this video. We had to pause it and go outside and try the measurement like you said. Works perfect! Thank you for the tip!!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Glad I could help! 🙂 Happy and safe felling!

[@marknesselhaus4376]

I could hear it in your voice at the start that you had the remains of a cold. Hope you are fairing much better now. Fantastic aiming for that tree and so glad the popping sounds were coming from the other tree.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! Im almost fully recovered now, thank goodness. I've been sick almost since Christmas with one kind of chest cold or another, so I'm anxious to get back to normal.

[@deeflorindo781]

Excellent job falling that maple. That is a beautiful piece of wood. I can't wait to finish our off grid cabin n live in it. ❤

[@downtonviewer]

I remember the time you threaded a needle, so to speak, with a tree. Your felling skills are second to none. Oh, that is pretty wood. So many memories with the pop-up cabin. I recall thinking that stove was too big, but it worked out well. I'm looking forward to the front porch build (finally!;-)

[@Unclejojo330]

Great memories of you and your dad with the small cabin. The simple design is awesome and for me would be great as a small workshop. Great video. Thanks and hope you feel better soon.

[@joevendramin9509]

[@jazz5132]

Seeing your Dad was so special. It had to be hard dismantling your pop up cabin. Those memories will always stay with you.

[@adrockey]

Great video!! Your Dad would have been proud of felling that tree! Unfortunately I now can’t relate. My Dad passed away in December. I will probably always respond in remembrance of your Dad. It helps heal and keeps that memory alive.

[@genevievebakkensen86]

Love when your videos pop up it’s such a great treat to see what activities you have planned. The maple tree had such beautiful innards will make a great addition to future projects 💞

Hello again my friend. It's been awhile but as usual it is always worth the wait. The cabin in the snow and all that beautiful wood shining in the glow of the fire is just breath taking!!! The satisfaction you must feel while sipping your hot chocolate is unimaginable to me. I have followed you thru all the years of the big and small builds and thru all your heartbreak and sorrow. You are indeed a very strong young man for you have managed to continue on in a way that makes us all proud of you. You can absolutely be assured that your Dad is bursting with pride. After watching you all these years I feel I know you and I am proud of you as well!! Stay safe be well and God Bless!!

[@brittawrolson5936]

Your cabin amazes me every time I see it! It is beautiful, and better yet it is cozy. The passion and skill spent designing and building it has paid off. Such a wonderful legacy for your family💕

[@gibsonmj1958]

I used your tiny cabin plans from your previous videos and just completed it in the back of my property. I also included the clear polycarbonate roof with lights. Your plans were superb and even allowed a weekend warrior like myself to do the job. Loving it. Thanks so much.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Glad to hear it! ...and thanks for supporting the channel! 🙂👍

Nice job dropping that maple. And your dad is still with you.❤

[@catherineoneal1030]

I knew from the moment the video started that you would drop that maple exactly where you wanted to. You are, after all, a professional. Well done, my friend!! Also, I anticipate your deck design hinted at before the video's end and the plans you may have for that beautiful maple wood. A hutch, perhaps for Mrs. Outsider or a "treasure box" for your beautiful daughter to store wonderful memories in? I can only guess, but I know you will give that beautiful old tree a new life some day! God Bless you and your family and a hello prayer to Dad in Heaven. 😀😇🥰

Nice job dropping that tree. I had a 16" maple, rotted at the bottom, that twisted in the rot, and fell where I didn't want it to. Close call but no damage. Tree felling can be tricky.

Thumbs up specifically for taking care of yourself. Hard hat, ear protection, the kevlar leg & body chaps, taking breaks to warm up and to think, and also the hot chocolate. (Gotta warm the heart & soul as well as the body & mind!)

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

The "pop up" cabin. So appreciate seeing your father again in that segment. So many memories that will be simply moved to a new spot where the pop up will be "popped up" again, and more memories added added on to what one would describe as a very solid base of your fathers quiet, caring, productive way he had about him. Thank you for sharing and I am sure by now you are feeling better. Well done Sir. Prince Edward Island import from Quebec and BC chiming in :)

[@suemason4318]

[@gracielacobo5412]

Love your episodes! Hope you continue to do them as they are very genuine & engaging. Even though you have finished your amazing & beautiful cabin, I’m sure you can continue your series with updates on your family & adding interesting additions of your time in the woods & living in your cabin. Maybe you will consider in the future to add a porch or deck to the entrance of your one of a kind cabin. Wishing you & your family many blessings.

That was awesome! I don't think I've ever seen a tree felling done with such accuracy and grace, well done! The finished interior of the cabin looks so comfortable and homey now, what an amazing journey to get here. And yes, what a treat to see your dad in the flashback of the pop up cabin build, I'd forgotten about that! An incredible design, true to your word how easily you were able to take it down and away.

It would be interesting to see the ages of people who watch your channel and others, who now live vicariously thru these channels. Your attention to detail is inspiring. I'm sure your Dad is bragging you up - up yonder! Us old useless eaters can get inspired watching you. Think I'll try and get up out of this chair and get a glass of orange juice. 2 minutes to get up, 3 to get to the fridge and probably a nap on the way! 🙂

[@prestongilbert4199]

As I watched you disassemble the pop up I thought about the bunk house tool shed and the snowmobile tow behind cabin. I have been watching since you placed the first stone. Those memories made me think of your dad. I am sure you do when you look at every board and nail. We are {were} the same age; I am now 73. My own son has an 80 year old cabin in the Allegheny mountains in Penna. When I am down there with him working on projects on the cabin I think of you two. Sigh

Hello Outsider again! It's definitely not your first tree felling video!! Great pointers of the professional kind. As someone else stated, your videos are calming with no hype or horrible music! Touching to see your father again. In your case I believe you were mentors to each other. Actually I will include your grandfather also. The respect you had for him shows also. As always God bless to you and your family. Take care from your very long-time California subscriber 🙏 🤲

[@CCRider5312]

Hello Outsider, Great Job on the tree! I Pray 🙏🏼 you get over your cold my Friend!!! Boy I sure do miss Sr Outsider he was a good man and a great dad to you I know. I remember when he/y’all lost your Mom he was really lost for a while and really devoted his time to doing more with you after that. You filled a void for him and he dearly loved spending more time with you on your projects. He and I used to speak in comments and he knew I had lost my son your age in a horrific car accident. He even told me he’d point to the sky in one of your episodes, symbolically saying my son was in heaven looking down on me. Your dad done just as he said he would he pointed to the heavens and probably no one knew what he was doing!? But God, My Son Dustin, Myself, your Dad and possibly you knew. But that’s fine and it was a testament to me what a fine man your dad Senior Outsider was !!!!!! Although I never met him he Made me feel like he was best friends and the feeling was mutual. As tears fill my eyes writing this I can say my heart sank & I cried the video you put out announcing his passing. So I’m Sure Senior went to heaven and him and Dustin has laughed about him pointing to heaven in Dustin’s and my behalf. Outsider I loved your Dad as a Blood Brother and he’s definitely missed!!!!! God Bless you and Mrs Outsider and your lovely daughter. You guys are in my prayers. CC Rider
