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. 🙂

[@AmenMama-qe4sq]

Sooooo TRUE! ❤

Miss seeing your dad work with you. I lost my dad and miss him everyday. We will see them again because they are waiting on us! Love your channel! God bless you and and your family!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Amen brother. 🙏🙂 Thank you.

[@miraguedes9339]

Lembranças maravilhosas de seu pai😊 o importante é saber que vamos encontrar nossos queridos ,nos céus, essa é a certeza em Cristo Jesus...Paz, um abraço na esposa e filha....amei o vídeo

[@helensmith7177]

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☮️🇨🇦🦋💜

[@Adirondacks4me]

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.

[@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.

[@Reet64]

“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. 😂

[@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.

[@patrickjrusaw]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@stevejones9788]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@WildBoreWoodWind]

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

[@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!❤

[@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.

[@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]

Our good fathers are all a metaphore for our Great Heavenly Father!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 . 😊🇺🇲

[@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..

[@bruceleealmighty]

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

[@keithhanson596]

it was nice seeing your dad again , he was a stand up guy . and we all miss him being with you.

[@comedianmattrossey]

Yes he was, and yes we do.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!;-)

[@melanie2846]

Wow, that tree-felling was a bit nerve wracking! So nice to see you again. The cabin looks wonderful. Excited to see the front porch build. Thanks for sharing that clip of your dad. I hope you feel better soon. See you next time…

[@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.

[@Jazz1959]

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

[@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. 🙂👍

[@Joeyjoey53]

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.

[@jeffwilliams533]

That's such a beautiful cabin is that you and your dad had built that's a shame your dad passed away my condolences to you and your family can't wait to see the rest of the build have a day

[@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. ❤

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 💞

[@jonchalk3855]

I can't believe it has been four years since the pop-up cabin was built. The wood took on a good silver patina. A testament to you and your father.

[@cals4200]

At this point in my life, I would love to be out in the woods doing exactly what you are doing. It is so peaceful out there and your skills fit right in. Keep up with these amazing videos and God bless.

[@nickischwab205]

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!!

I love spalted maple, fav wood for furniture, so beautiful

[@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.

[@henner645]

Hats off, you are one of the few youtubers who wears proper protection when working the chain saw.

Одно удовольствие смотреть таких блогеров . Просто отдыхаешь . Спасибо !

[@rpf7567]

We enjoy your videos! God has blessed you with wonderful skills. Seeing you in that BPS cap reminds me of my father who loved wearing his same hat!! At 88 he wore that cap everywhere until our Lord called him home. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@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💕

[@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 :)

[@finleysmom6390]

Had to chuckle your “taking it easy”, but you just felled a tree!! Stay healthy & God bless you & your family.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

The tree did most of the work...I helped it over. 😄 God bless!

[@freeshrugs1]

Watching your Father pour you a hot drink and hand it to you hit me in a very primal and sentimental place. I would love to walk with my Father in the woods again, saying nothing and everything at the same time. I pray with all I have that God will shape me into such a Father for my young Daughter. Time is a currency more valuable than any earthly treasure. We should all take care to spend it well. Your wonderful Father did, and you do too. God bless you and your family.

[@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.

[@reddog543211]

Excellent video my friend !.... great job on that tree....sorry those cedars filled your pants....lol....I remember when you and dad constructed that temp shelter....the shot of him gave me a immediate burst of happiness ....so cool !!.... thanks for all you share with us !!.... including him !!!!!..... cheers 🍻

[@joebacarella2829]

You dropped that tree spot on, that was a nice little trick you used with the axe handle on the tree length, well done.

[@davidaldrich3488]

Seeing your dad was heartwarming Love the haircut lol

[@CraigNiel]

Aw man I miss seeing your dad in the videos. He'd have been definitely helping with the upcoming porch build! I'm sure he'll be there with you in spirit making sure you do a good job! Hope you feel better soon.

[@1patw]

I can’t say it enough! You have made such a wonderful, beautiful, cabin, and I hope you will enjoy for many years! Love it! Much love to you and your family! Thank you again for your videos!😊🇺🇸👏🏻🥰

[@me-l-9910]

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. Another great video, thank you for the beautiful share, I can't wait to see what you get up to next. Stay safe and warm! God bless. 🙂❣

[@JayBane-n9l]

Haven’t seen you in a while young man. It is good to see you.God bless you!

[@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.

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

[@dougdiplacido2406]

I have to admit that I was nervous as you cut down the tree. Excellent job as usual. So glad to come home and find that you posted a video. It was heartwarming to get a glimpse of past times when you Dad was there with you.Thank you so much. Peace until next time.

[@mamabearandcubs7701]

Your knowledge, skill, project process and work ethic are simply amazing...you clearly had 'the' best teacher 🤗. Another very lovely video, thank you xx 🇬🇧👌🐻

[@DavidPaulNewtonScott]

The sheer work of building my dugout cabin is killing me. I am feeling motivated now seeing yours.

[@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

You did good to bring down the tree before the Spring winds and thaw! Most people clear-cut before building the house to keep from dealing with this stress.

[@dougtravins9624]

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.

That tree drop was a thing of beauty. Well done. Yes, a front porch would be a terrific addition. Brilliant.

You are a Forester Master! Both a builder and demolisher. Nice work felling the tree. Guts!

[@kilroygirl7347]

Determining where the tree should land @3:34. I rewatched a few times. Amazing feat! Great video as always!

[@damogranheart5521]

I love the idea of a front porch! Ours was a sleeping porch plus couches to sit on, rocking chairs, and a rattan table that had shelves for books and puzzles. We had sisal carpets on the floor and glass windchimes. I always slept well on that porch.

[@TheJimcrooks800]

So enjoy your videos and updates. The downing of that maple was just perfect - but I am sure, nerve-racking! You must have felt that the taking down of the outpost was another milestone without your dad and you will have had mixed feelings I'm sure but the optimism of the maple syrup season and then the new building season kicks in and you have us with you in expectation as mush as retrospection. Well done on continuing the work of living and working at the cabin and bringing us with you. The cabin still looks beautiful as you enjoy your domestic routines. Every blessing for you and the family.

[@elliotazus6258]

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 🙏 🤲
