225 Days of Building a LOG CABIN Alone in the Woods | START to FINISH

[@John-Rogal]

This experience proved that a man can do a lot if he dares to act alone. My log cabin became a symbol of freedom, and the year I spent in the forest became a lesson in true self-reliance! Did you like my movie? Write what country you are from)

Je suis français j'ai 48 ans, j'ai appris à être manuel de part ma formation d'électricien amener plus tard à rénover ma maison tout seul. Pour savoir que ce tu as réalisé est loin d'être simple dans des conditions loin d'être ideales (froid, neige, off grid, je dois dire que tu es un exemple d'ingénierie de courage, et surtout de détermination ! Tu peux être fier de toi c'est une très jolie maison que j'aurais vraiment aimé pouvoir construire au milieu d'une forêt comme celle-ci ! C'est le rêve (secret) d'enfant de tout homme. Toi comme quelques autres sur KZbin, avez réussi cet exploit de façon autonome ! Je te tire mon chapeau, très grand respect à toi ! J'espère que cette vidéo sera regardée par de nombreux jeunes pour leur démontrer une valeur essentielle dans chaque vie d'homme ! La détermination pour un résultat hors norme qui sera forcément salué pour ça !! Bravo 👏🫡

[@stroys7061]

I’ll spare you the details but I nearly severed the tip of my left index finger splitting kindling for a campfire. Fortunately we were close enough to a small hospital where a doctor was able to sew it back together. It was an extremely painful but effective lesson on being mindful while doing even simple tasks with an ax.

I enjoyed every minute of this video. It taught me a lot. I’ve been doing a lot of my own building lately so I appreciate you sharing with me what you learn. Also I appreciate that you didn’t leave out the near misses and incidences because they happen to me all the time and I always wonder if it happens to anybody else lol I do have one question and that is once you put the concrete pylons down while the concrete boxes around them as well. Is it just extra support for the weight of the cabin?

[@John-Rogal]

Thank you! Yes, that's right) Just an addition! But they are not mandatory, you don't have to do them. But you definitely need to make concrete boxes!)

This was the most intense log cabin build I have ever watched, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I thought John was gonna die several times, but shear determination kept him going; axe to the shins, crushed by falling log, even death defying gravity stunts, kept my heart racing the whole way through. I leant so much watching this; how to use certain tools (or how not the use them) which positions is best stand when moving something that is so heavy it could crush you like an insect. Seriuosly thank you John, this was amazing to watch, I have no idea how you survived this, but you did! There is clearly some one watching over you, I even found myself praying for you several times while watching this! If you don't have religion ? Dude, I would urge you to submit and go to church, it would be folly to ignore Gods love for you! ... seriously this shit was wild folks, you can see Gods hand at work, watch to the end! Suspense and Devine intervention round every corner, just incredible!! Thank you John!

[@John-Rogal]

Thanks for the kind words! My video is for kind people! I built this house with the help of Allah. Follow the last prophet Muhammad and accept Islam. Only this message will save you from hell.

​@@John-Rogal “The tongue is like a lion. If you let it loose, it will wound someone.” Please, no offence intended John. ... Sincerely, all joking aside, you have done something here you can be immensely proud of! I admire your grit and determination my friend, it is a rare sight in this world. I do not comment on many videos, but yours was truly inspiring. People of faith are also rare in this life, and yes I am a follower of the book, but please, do not think I mock your faith. I have always viewed such a thing as true blasphemy. Instead understand, I wish to express my gratitude, what you have done here is truly inspiring John, you built this entire house, on your own, by hand, just incredible! I want to thank you for sharing this with us. This was a significant part of your life and you chose to film it and share it with us; I am grateful for this.

Greetings from Sunny, South Florida, Merry Christmas ! You are doing great Log work! My Grandfather, and his brothers were Log House builders in Finland, at Arctic Circle! They built more than 30 Schools and bigger buildings, that is why this interest me!! They did just a fine , great work, most of those buildings are still there, and straight, even they are more than 100 years old. Check Pohtimolampi Hotel = Bear Lodge Hotel, it was originally built by my Grandfather, and his brothers, Sauna building first, at 1952, then main building, which is larger Hotel now, 1954. I spend every summer couple nights in there, when I go to Finland, I have my own Summer Cabin at real Arctic Circle, at River Ounasjoki, near City of Rovaniemi. Keep it up, my friend, and Happy New Year too !! Eero from Lantana, Florida =)
