ONE Year a Man Builds the Log Cabin of his Dreams Alone in the Forest, Start to Finish

It's amazing what one person can do in just one year.
My name is Bjorn Brenton, I'm 21 years old. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams.Therefore, I purchased a plot of land overgrown with dense bushes in the middle of the forest to bring a new blossoming life here.
I built this log cabin mostly in my spare time! It's been a labor of love, with many challenges along the way, and i loved every minute of it! For many years I dreamed of building my own house, but I was tired of just dreaming, I decided to make it a reality before it’s too late.
Building this small log home is just the beginning. There is still a lot of work to be done to make the dream a reality, and I am glad that I can share it with you.
On the first floor I will make a sauna, shower and a small room for relaxation and cooking, and on the second floor - a temporary bedroom.
The main purpose of building this log house was to gain experience for the construction of my large house, where my family and I could live permanently. Therefore, very soon I will start my new big construction
Next summer I plan to start raising livestock, maybe goats, sheep, chickens and cows. Also, my goal is to learn to live a more independent life.
All my construction and my life in the forest will be documented on this channel "Bjorn Brenton"

Hi Bjorn. Greetings from Montreal. That was the most incredible build I've ever seen. And you did it Alone, AND by hand. Not one electric or battery powered tool, BY HAND !! That was amazing. It is beautiful. it is a real work of love and art for sure. I watched from the beginning to the very end. Woo Hoo !!

What a beautiful cabin build with such care. I can't wait to see you start the inside, and watch the journey with you living in it. The gardens were bountiful and planted with such thoughtfulness.

I have not seen your videos before but watched this entire video. I amazed at your patience and meticulous detailing. I love how you can cook real food for yourself also. Was hoping to see the inside and possibly a wood stove but maybe that is for another video. Towards the end I was thinking “ That thing will never fall down”. Solid and very nice looking. Doing all by hand. Just amazing.

[@user-fx9gi8em9l]

Respect to your determination bro, gotta give it to you! For a man your age, this build is nothing short of being legendary!

For a person any age....it's really unbelievable. How he does a fraction of this when I can't seem to stain my deck without turning it into what looks like a major demolition site is just astonishing to me.
