I purchased the 13 piece starter pack for my friend who had his car, motorbike and wallet stolen while he slept. I wanted to give him his peace of mind back as a gift. Thanks for the recommend it was because of your channel I knew what to do to help him move on and be safe in his home.

Will Simply Safe ship to Canada? Last time I checked with them, they didn't support Canada and I just checked and they still don't offer shipping to Canada.

@@MR619Can which is odd, when you consider The Outsider is in Northern Ontario and has simplysafe.

[@MR619Can]

@@jaquigreenlees hence my question! the first time I saw him profile it, I checked into it. I even emailed them and they said no to Canada shipping. So I decided to check again and only went to see about shipping vis the site's shopping cart - no Canadian shipping addresses still.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Brother- I don’t know how to thank you for mentioning us on your channel. I have to say your chinking video is the best on KZbin. So thankful the mixture worked well for you. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress on your cabin. God bless you and your family

[@Santos-oc2no]

i´m very happy to see you mentioned, both channels yours and outsider are so kind

[@rconger384]

Do mixtures vary per local climates? Arid vs humid?

The mortar mix is important but it is the wire mesh base that prevents it from cracking.

[@elainewright9750]

My first husband and I had a log and stone house built. They just did the shell. The rest was up to us and my father to complete. Such a challenging job. Nothing was plum or level. We got it done, chinking and all. It turned out beautiful if I do say so myself. We had our daughter and lived very happily for a year in our log home. Tragedy struck our lives. My husband was killed in a car accident. Due to the house being so remote and having a small child. I had to move away. I held onto the log house for a while but sadly I had to sell it. I'm glad to have had that experience. Watching this video brought back very old memories. Snow and ice on the sub floor mud everywhere. getting pregnant and losing the baby in that period of time. I have gone on too long. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am 71 now so this happened a vey long time ago.

[@Il-Siciliano]

Only your indominable spirit, attitude, expert craftsmanship and knowledge of log cabins, and that of your dad, can outshine your magnificent videography. This cabin is fast becoming a warm and loving home. God bless you sir!

[@jhowe5571]

IDK if anyone else noticed that there's no "music" in your videos. Yet, I've noticed that there's natural music, of the birds and other wildlife around the cabin. Such sound enhances the ambience and excites the memory of those of us who've been in the woods. Whether it be hunting, fishing or camping. You've got a beautiful cabin in the woods to enjoy nature from. 😁

[@nickkline6956]

Your dad pouring the water is such an awesome shot!

[@Luther9621]

What a privilege to have the experience of working with your dad on the cabin. Your not just making a cabin, but a lifetime of shared memories for both of you. I just wish your mom was able to see what you created. God bless!

[@shielahaberecht3417]

Thank you so much for another nice upload. You work together we'll, and dad obviously treats you with love and respect.. I'm so glad. God is the only Father I've ever known, and He is always that way. I'm ever grateful.. My best wishes to your wife.. I pray she's healing. We had chemo again Friday and the mouth and throat sores are already bad. Hurts so much to try to eat anything.. but it's working, at least for now. Trying to control it . But I'm thinking of your wife.. praying she's better. You're so strong and good. Please say hi for me.. and give her my best. Be well . God bless you and your family..

This project is an inspiration and a testimony to the value of persistence in the face of life's trials. Building memories with your father and the value of your relationship with him. He raised his children in the way that they should go, so in fact you have honored your mother and father so it will indeed go well for you!

[@fishingcostarica]

Having a left and right handed person working together is great. Good Job.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

😄 Yeah, we're a perfect combo. He starts from the left with his right, while I start from the right with my left, and we meet in the middle. Can't get any better than that! 😁👍

Anyone else suddenly thinking "Oh no, they could be finishing the cabin soon, then what will I watch Saturday mornings?" Great job!

[@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks]

Yes. Dreaded reruns will never do. Hoping for several months of a log outhouse build then a year or two of a 4000 square foot workshop build.

[@moonwillowschronicle5435]

I have been thinking about that too.

[@senioroutsider2975]

Have no fear OutSider have lots of plans to enhance the cabin.

[@garys9694]

If this is the only thing you're watching on Saturday mornings, you have a real problem. This is a terrific channel, but there just isn't enough of it. One 16 minute episode in 3 weeks just doesn't cut it.

[@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks]

Quality beats quantity on Saturdays or any day for that matter. Outsider has been very consistent for more than a few years with extremely high quality content. Some videos have exceeded an hour, a very few are less than 10 minutes. Everyone has certainly been worth my time. Being a KZbin content creator is very challenging. Building an extremely high quality cabin in the backwoods of Canada is an extreme challenge.

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

Following your channel has been quite a treat. I so admire the mindfulness you put into your presentations. The time it takes to record and then the long thoughtful process of editing....Whoosh! You are so dedicated!Your video's will help others, all for the better good. I continue to admire the kinship between your father and yourself. Fills the spirit with positive stuff! I appreciate knowing about the "Bearded Carpenter." The detail and research you did to get your project moving forward is so admirable. Atlantic Canada is watching :)

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! Such a nice comment. 🙂👍 From one fellow Canadian to another, all the best to you and your family. Keep your stick on the ice.

I can’t believe the bearded carpenter only has 18 k subscribers! I am restoring a cabin from the 1890’s built by the dukabours in southern bc and will be posting videos soon. I think it is more work for a restoration than building from scratch but I wanted to preserve the history. The whole thing was hand hewn and dove tail! This channel has been an inspiration and showing real time it takes years to do this vs 30 minutes on HGTV!!!! This place will look awesome once the logs grey out!

[@ingridassooassoon3424]

The craftmanship is amazing n data wat i like as i said before my husband was a builder he was like all eyes on d job no mistakes must be made he double checked everything n he learnt from his uncle n i learnt from him , dats y he was never out of work so even now as my husband is no more im living wat i learnt so thks guys i really do enjoy

[@passerby9123]

Second time in a week that I have seen a right hander and a left hander working together, but this one seemed to say that you hadn't considered what would happen when you and dad met in the middle of a run of chinking, so perhaps that's why you ended up working independantly. Seriously, good job done by a great team and amazing to see the shell of the cabin finally coming together as a weather tight unit.

[@yummboy2]

I have been anxiously waiting for your chinking video because I knew your standards are high and you would do it right. I am familiar with The Bearded Carpenter's channel and I know you have chosen your mentors well. You and your Dad continue to do a great job on your cabin build. Now I am looking forward to the interior.

Looking good. I lived in a log cabin that was about 90 years old. It was moved from its original spot and put back up with a new massive fireplace and double loft with an arched cedar bridge between the two lofts. In the coldest part of the winter, i would fill a cast iron pan with hot coals from the fireplace and put it under the engine of the car, take my shower, and get in the car that would start as if it was 30 degrees instead of 30 below. I liked that cabin, you will enjoy yours i`m sure.

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi Outsider: I chinked my log cabin around 1965 using a shovel, sweat board & dry cement with sand.& some lime for whitening. 60 years later I have not had to repair it once. I've always attributed our success to the metal lathing I applied first. Ibelive that it allowed the filler to withstand the stresses of time & annual, seasonal temperature change. Stay safe Brian 81

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Wow you obviously did a good job of it! I agree that the metal lath is a game changer for chinking. It gives the mortar a proper backbone to resist cracking and crumbling over time. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience, my friend. 👍🙂

[@kashuendyke]

Can I ask if you have the ratio of dry cement and sand and how much lime? My log home was built in 1980. The chinking is falling apart. The metal lath is still intact. Would you recommend to just chink over the existing metal lath? Thank you.
