One Man Builds Log Cabin Fireplace In Wilderness

[@ErikGrankvist]

We just released our smaller cutting board here: www.grankvist-outdoors.com Thank you for watching the video. Me and my girlfriend make these cutting boards ourselves by hand, so if you want to support the channel we would be very happy if you could check out our website. We have a special limited Christmas sale over there which makes the perfect gift! We are so grateful for everyone who bought from our first batch of cutting boards, they sold out very fast. It means the world to me, that this is made possible. The blacksmith in the video is named Nils. He has his own KZbin channel: www.youtube.com/@nilsogren He is one of the few that makes his own axes by hand here in Sweden. So check out his channel!

Maybe look into making a well next? Seems you don't have a source of fresh water on the spot.

The smaller cutting boards look great, I think they'll be easier to use

[@richardrow3729]

Hello Erik. Your channel is great. I’ve been watching you from the beginning of your cabin build. It awesome to see someone build something correctly from the ground up. Today I looked into buying a couple of your medium size cutting boards, however, I found out that you don’t currently ship to the United States. Do I need to say that I am disappointed? Maybe one day……. -RR

I agree, Erik has inspired me to stop using all those extras, especially cutting out the music.

It isn't that special if you grew up with black&white TV.

[@patchmack4469]

your dog makes me smile - proper companion just like i had - devoted to each other - always so close - and he sits there watching, making sure your doing everything right, keeping you safe - but i have to say your little dream house is rapidly turning into a proper cozy little home in the wilderness, how soon before the sauna gets built? i love your films, did you think this is where you'd be, boy sets out into wilderness, gathers materials to build a new home, a new life, its a proper coming of age documentary, you should be amazingly proud of what you have achieved, do any of your friends do this as well? i imagine they are all so proud of you too

It's so fun to watch you make and "live in" the same style cabin that I have grown up with, being the just a year older than you. Keep it up, Erik! --Hilsen fra Norge

[@pliashmuldba]

Nice to see young folks doing relevant stuff instead of all the garbage that seem to " kill " so many young folks. Warm the heart of this old guy that could easy be Eriks father if not grandfather, that live in little old Denmark. Id like a cabin like that for my next salmon fishing trip hinsidan.

[@ohhpaul7364]

Erik, you may find that you want to build a cricket (as we call them in the U.S.) above your fireplace on the roof so that water/snow sheds away from the fireplace on the uphill side of the roof. While you did all your flashings correctly, above the fireplace on the roof is now a big V shape that can hold water and may cause ice damming during the winter. A cricket, is a small roof, in this case shaped like a hip roof would work well, that will shed the water coming from uphill of the chimney to the sides of the chimney. I just had to spend the last week having people install this very thing for me on a house I am building. You have done a great job with building your cabin. Thank you for including us all as you go through this journey.

[@zacpower_9835]

i hope he sees this, that looks relevant.

[@piotrpartacz8622]

In sweden winter is with a lot of snow 😂

[@TheKlokan44]

This is a good idea....even where we had limited snow during the winter, if we have several weeks of good snow, the snow builds up over the chimney and the slow melting causes leaks between the flashing and chimney

It’s good to see there are still a few of us who know how to live the old way. My ancestors also carved their lives out of the wilderness it’s a DNA that goes a long way towards survival. Great work and a good looking German shorthair.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Erik I don’t know what I admire more. Your vision or your ability. I have a female Weimaraner and when I am working on something she is never more than arms reach away, just like your pooch. Great video as usual.

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

I really enjoy that you just show how things are done, properly, not reacting to people making things the wrong way. Not that I always totally agree with your methods. It reminds me of my father, when we were going to the store or something he would point to a construction site or something and say "they will have a problem with mold later". It confused me at the time that he didn't tell the builders, but now I know that it's impossible to teach people who don't understand. Leading by example is the best way!

[@inflatablepenguin]

even if I didn't know anything about you the way your dog looks at you tells me everything I need to know. fireplace turned out great.

The cabin, the fireplace and the food for your dinner are all parts of the dream come true. I am so proud of you Erik! I've been around since the beginning, I remember the struggles of building, the pain involved in digging the root cellar and all the rest. You never gave up and here you are now with 1.44 Million subscribers, all who admire you and the life you've carved out of the woods to claim as your own. You are an inspiration and deserve all the great things to come in your life. See you in the next video my friend!!

I remember when you traveled to a place where you relaxed in the hothouse and how you would bathe in an ice-cold stream. I loved how you harvested your trees and used every part of it even down to the bark. I would love your cutting boards but you do no business in America. Please let me know when you do.

Beautiful home, job well done! Love how every time you fill a bucket with something your dog has a "Is that for me? Huh? Huh? Is it?" look on his face. lol You posted here 9 months ago that you and your girlfriend make cutting boards by hand, but in a video from 5 months ago you say you live alone in the cabin. Not asking what happened, but it takes a special kind of person to do what you do.

I work construction and we do quite a bit of mud work inside concrete structures from time to time and on vertical surfaces it seems to help the mortar stick if you wet the surface a little bit before hand. Also keep your trowel wet keeps the mortar from sticking to your tool and can give you a really nice finish. You can also wet a horse hair brush and give it a nice finish. Looking good though keep it up man!
