Surviving -40° Winter Alone In Wilderness Log Cabin

Just dropped some new hand made products!!
Check them out here: www.grankvist-outdoors.com
I hand-craft all these wooden products myself. I can only make a few at a time, so you have to be first to buy one when a new batch is released. They are all made from hard nordic oak, making them extremely durable, holding up for a lifetime of abuse.
I was told that my dream of selling handmade products wouldn’t work in today's world where everything is mass produced. I want to prove them wrong. My goal is to expand into other handmade products eventually. Making a series of lifetime quality handmade goods. Breaking free from mass production, supporting our environment.

This is my gear that I use to make these videos possible:
My main camera: amzn.to/3D060lt
My second camera: amzn.to/3NHWWpZ
My lens: amzn.to/3JHDCbd
My drone: amzn.to/3rgvlEX

Thank you Stevie Antoniou Media for editing this video!

Brother, if that little lady left you, I feel sad for you, of course. As to the lady, for as good a man as you are, unless you just didn't want children, she's an idiot. If she didn't want children, she's got to have lost her mind. Men don't come any better, and that's a fact. You have skill, determination, and a strong work ethic. Any woman should be proud to wait on such a man, hand and foot because, Brother, you earn every minute of it. It would take one impressive woman to earn in service to you, what she would get from you. May God's blessings go with you as you work.

[@NarrowPathTraveler]

Erik, may I ask what material you are using to fill in the cracks? Is that sawdust?

[@NarrowPathTraveler]

@@JS-pw8nrI agree, 100%!

[@NarrowPathTraveler]

As a woman, he's a keeper, and if I were young again, I would want many children with him. ha ha!

[@Matkustaja]

@@JS-pw8nr It feels no man is enough for this day women. Must be partly of that brainwashing from society and tv-series and empowering them too much. I believe there is a role for man and woman and pushing another's role for another is not mentally right. Ofc humans are equals but there's a natural reason for us to be different and also to have different roles in life. I'm good looking and handy guy and good with the children too but have already gave up for finding an woman since in my past I were always finding my woman to cheat on me and must be that they just always want to seek a better one even they will never find that. Anyway sadly it is what it is..

I met your channel 2 years ago and I saw all the process in the cabin and a little bit of your life with your family and girlfriend. I’ve been 3 years with my gf and she left 3 months ago. With my family we built a motorhome and she was involved in it, similar experience with your beautiful log cabin. It is extremely hard being alone in those places where you two spent so many experiences together, so I understand this. I hope you the best man. ❤

[@Diogenesk9]

Haha, you got Nik Rijavec on your subs too?

[@malelpn37]

I have been watching you since the first video. Absolutely incredible job on your house. I know it’s a cabin but I know it’s also your home. As a 55-year-old man who is also a grandfather, I can tell you quite honestly that women come and women go, But a good dog will leave you with memories forever. As I am sitting here pictures of my GSP are next to me. God definitely broke the mold when he made those dogs the absolute best companions in the world. You will find a woman who wants to live this life with you who is your equal and your partner and helps you with everything that you do and challenges you in all ways. I promise you that one day you will find a woman that you cannot live without. In the meantime, do not settle for one that you can live with even right now it seems very difficult, but I can promise you, this, too, shall pass.

Hey Erik I have watched you for 4 years. I am still going to order 2 of those cutting boards. I was trying to in Jan but it is looking more towards April. I am so sorry that your companion left you. I wish you the best of life. You are a very hard worker. And you have done an amazing job from cutting the trees to making logs for a home. You are a true craftsman

Thank you Erik for sharing your oustanding craftsmanship skills, tenacity and ambitions with us. You are inspirational - I salute you, and judging by the comments, everyone else does as well. Fantastic!! ❤❤

[@twinklingideas5476]

many kind regards from Germany. I can still remember when you laid the first stones, it's absolutely crazy what you've done so far. It's great to see something from you again. Thank you for always making the effort and allowing us to be there

[@williammerry4746]

So so good Erik. Sorry the young lady left but I think very few ladies want to live in the wilderness that you love. Great work as usual. You are very sober usually but coming back and looking in on that beautiful floor I noticed your face couldn't help but be proud. Some men do very well single. I wonder, do you have an electric generator? Your cabin seems very bright. That stove you built is incredible. Hope your business grows enough so we can order things from the US. You are just one outstanding young man. Good on you.

What amazes me most is how much knowledge and the quality of the tools you have accumulated at such a young age. You deserve all your success as a KZbinr. All the best to you and your partner.
