My husband and I own a tree service and at 58, I can still lift, roll or flip enormous logs and rounds across yards, up ramps and onto trucks. Been doing it for 20 years and I weigh 140. So many new young male employees would stand around with their hands in their pockets until they watched me get to work and put them to shame. They learned, or they quit! We're also cavers and spend a lot of time moving rock and dirt. It isn't difficult to move more than a ton in a day with just a few determined friends, some shovels and wheelbarrows. I'm always shocked how many people deny the power and ability of a single person to accomplish big projects. What do they do all day, sit on the couch playing video games? It's all attitude, determination, and creativity. Physical strength isn't nearly as important. Great video, inspiring!🙂

Thanks for your input. I second your thoughts on that. I find it difficult to understand why people don’t believe that a single person can build a shelter like this. Yeah, it’s easy to sit on a couch and criticise.

What makes builds like this impressive is that they are solo. Where even a team of two is involved determination and morale is much harder than when solo. So building demands a different mindset. I’m not sure quite what but it is but it certainly requires mental resilience and stamina

I think he most likely used a fulcrum and a lever and then just used various rocks etc to place it underneath the lifted side or something like that to raise the log to an upright position, but I would like to see his method for raising it by oneself just to learn. I truly enjoy what I have seen so far, as I am a carpenter of 25 + years and have done many projects both commercial and residential, but I have never had the opportunity to build a log structure, the closest I have come was one restaurant in Texas that was called the Alpine or something like that I don’t remember but I was only able to work on it for a couple days and then we had to start another project out of state which was disappointing. But I like what he has done so far and I will be watch for the next phase 😊

I assume he built this on his own private property, not in the middle of a unclaimed area so the logs were already cut. He explained in his description that the logs were already cut and as for the rocks he built this near a died up riverbed with exposed rocks that's right next to his tent. It's a solo build, not zero tools.

This is the first one I've seen, in quite a long time where the "stone work" was done correctly. 99% of all the others were done totally wrong and will fail, if not already. NOT THIS TIME.

I mean you're not going to go there so how would you know? At least somebody is doing something productive. What do you do? Brake windows and set other people's businesses on fire? yeah that's good for the environment. I know a guy like you who didn't like a company putting a pipeline in and they went out and bought a bunch of motor oil into a creek to try to blame it on them. The hilarious part is horizontal drill rigs do not use oil to do the drilling. They use drill mud made out of volcanic ash. So when he called the authorities to come look at the damage it was obvious he had done it and you could even see where he spilled it on the banks and there was a drip all the way to his property. Apparently he had changed the oil on his vehicles and even his riding lawn mower just to have a bunch of oil to contaminate the river with. He got a lot of trouble with that. So maybe you should try it and join him
