Making Camp at Build Site - Ep5- Outsider Log Cabin

[@margaritarodriguez8073]

I cannot wheight to see your cabin complete aim smside with all the hard work you guys are doing but it will be worth it is such a beautiful. Site

[@markduncan6690]

Clear sparkling water! Sweet!!

[@WeesdaGaia]

... Yeah ! ... perfect !!! ...

[@marinuskruissen7419]

Nice series, learning a lot, thank you

[@ontimethatsme]

Good work.. I live in the woods of North Central Florida ( yes Florida does have woods ) we have black bear, panthers, bob cats and wild hogs as well as wild pack dogs, i Never leave the house with out at least a 40 cal. Glock. never saw any guns on you guys.??? Be safe brother and keep putting up these vids.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

ontimethatsme Sounds like you have your share of large animals in your area! You're right, none of us carry, but I always have a hunting knife strapped to my side. lol Not as effective as a gun, but it makes me feel a little safer anyway. Better than nothing. There have been times that I wished I had a shotgun though. Especially the time I turned around the see a black bear watching me, and all I had was a machete.

[@bigolmoose693]

In the winter try peeling one strip of bark the length of the log and leave the rest on, In the sping the bark just may fall right off easily. All the Best

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

bigolmoose69 Thanks Bigolmoose! That's certainly an idea. Have you tried that method before, or known anyone to do that?

[@bigolmoose693]

Took a 1 week basics log house building course a few year ago, cedar should fall off quite easily..

[@maggots900]

OMG 8:40-9:15 Absolutely 100% beautiful. Would love to live there.

[@altrogeruvah]

Rain in August in a bless where I come from! Great video, friend!

4:20 first time I see this technic, looks nice.

[@carmenschumann826]

. . . I just hope you know how lucky you are: a caring family (Father & Grand) and a good, helping friend. That together with the aspects of having in your family's possess such a nice, great piece of land and possibilities should be really satisfying . . . living so close to the nature and respecting it (as far as I can judge you do) that would have been my dream, too . . . congratulations !

[@dirkhochbruck7696]

Respekt,I love your videos

[@pr4runner]

Look forward towards your videos. Stay warm this winter, its 11 F here now in lower Wisconsin

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

pr4runner Thanks pr4runner, and same to you! The word is that this winter is going to be a harsh one. Should be interesting.

[@carl-he7us]

A flat shovel used upside down is great for stripping bark even when difficult to strip God bless Carl.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

***** Thanks Carl. God bless.

[@YTcustomchris]

So after all that. Was it more work then you thought. I have all ways wanted to build a cabin but after seeing how much time you are going to have in it. I would never have much time to put in it. So I guess I will live my dream threw your videos.lol Thanks for sharing your adventurers Great Job

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Custom Chris To build a log cabin you definitely have to love the process as much as you love the outcome. Otherwise, it can quickly become frustrating work. So to answer your question; since I have already built a smaller log cabin, I kind of had an idea of the work that would be involved. However, I was hoping to be further along at the end of this summer than I am. But really, I don't consider any of it work. I enjoy it, and so I'm not in a huge rush to finish it all. Although I'm very excited for the day that I'll get to step back and stare at the cabin that I (and my friends) have built. Anyway, as always, thanks for watching Chris.

[@2012spacetraveler]

yea but remember he only works on it on a very limited time basis, where others i have known have built their cabins in a single season or two yrs tops. so it doesn't take a long time to build if you have the time

[@alienscientist8893]

I got a van and live and travel in that.. It is good for escaping the rat race and getting into nature..

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Love the bloopers...lol

[@Natural-Causes]

I wonder if the sap/resin from the cedar thickens to protect it from colder weather. I did find this info about cedars interesting… Cedar sap can be used as a self-aid to treat wounds, stop bleeding and treat rashes. It is a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and astringent that treats and bandages wounds like a two-for-one. The softer sap can even be chewed like gum for colds and sore throats

[@jrippee05]

Very nice.

[@AdventuresWithKatieinMaine]

great video and info on felling

[@bryanr.3241]

Great video as usual ! Peace

[@nenadaigle8734]

There’s something so satisfying about the sound of an ax. I know that sounds a little morbid but I’m referring to the act of hard work and the outdoors. lol 👍

[@nenadaigle8734]

I miss camping with my husband. 😞

[@obiwanjacobi]

That intro was so cool! :-D

[@youllregretit]

You should get a few things to make the log maneuvering a little easier. A timber cart, so you don't need a tractor. And a log peavey so you can manipulate them a bit easier. I would also recommend a crosscut, but you'd have to learn a bunch of stuff. it's super cheap though, and if you know how to sharpen and alter the kerf, it's pretty efficient and amazing. The first two would make things easy, they all would make it cheaper.

[@youllregretit]

you should also watch the entire series on youtube "an axe to grind". They give an excellent example of how to log properly. with hand tools, though. it's safer to log with hand tools because you can hear what the tree is doing. you would need to slowly learn new skills and condition your body though.

[@LordAudio]

I have just watched all of your videos. Very insightful! I look forward to seeing your next video which must be coming up soon? From New Zealand.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

LordAudio Thanks! You're right, the next episode is coming very soon. I'm hoping to have it out in a couple weeks. I already have most of the footage for it. I just have to put it together now.

[@punkerblast]

Dude you are so funny, when that tree went down, you turn around and walk away... I could tell in your face you were gonna look back. Falling tree is no joke. Don't worry man, i am not here to bust your balls. I just wanted to let you know that i watch your videos a lot and a i will be building my own cabin very soon. You are great inspiration and you do hard work! + all the editing and filming that is great quality and well put together. Good job man

[@Lacieluxe]

I'd pay yo stay in my own built log cabin! Wish you did like group trips or something and taught people to do this. You would make a fortune.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Kirsty Milligan Who knows, maybe someday I'll travel around and teach. But for now I'm just happy to learn and do. Thanks for watching!

[@killercroc1001]

That spring was a awesome find,

[@josephknowlton7246]

Liked, shared and commented

[@daos3300]

fells tree with a single swing - cool intro :)

[@DrHavok1]

cant wait for the next 10 episodes lol.... don't get lazy now suka keep it up

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

DrHavok1 lol I won't, I promise. As a matter of fact, I've already been filming lots this year. I'm planning to put episode 6 out by the beginning of July.

[@DrHavok1]

awesome!... inspiring

[@armyguy8022]

OutsideFun1 I have an idea, How about using a portable car port. You know the ones they sell at Canadian Tire. It looks like a big tent so you can park your car. I think it is much better than a tarp to protect your seasoned logs, and much more roomier, plus you can use it in the future to store fire wood like I do. The price range from $350 to $1800 depending on the square footage. Just an IDEA.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

I would love to have a portable car port out there. I'd have to have a pretty big one to store the logs, but I know that I could at least use it to store my equipment and set up a sort of "headquarters".

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thumbs up!

[@p.gregorw.8592]

😅Well,This is a cool Intro 😂❤

[@wondabub]

Really enjoying your journey Outsider, I've followed each video with much curiosity and anticipation. I'm especially looking forward to your continuing development. I've always wanted a log cabin myself and am sending you much energy and spiritual support as you finish this adventure in months to come. I particularly appreciated your reference to Ecc. and what that particular passage says about wisdom. I seem to have missed any mention of where you are building and I understand the reason, particularly if you ultimately want your cabin to be "off the grid". My query basically revolves around my idea that the land upon which you build must be your family land...with dad and grandfather so close by, I presume that it is...am I right? Keep up the very interesting work Outsider...enjoying you, your thoughts and process thoroughly.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Gary Giles Thanks Gary. You are correct. I can't afford land of my own yet, so I've gotten permission from my grandfather to build on his bush lot. Thanks for the support and following along!

[@bishopcorva]

What can be done with the stumps is let them season a bit. So that what sap is in them will thicken and mature. Make a whole bunch of fat-lighter stumps. Just go around in another year or two. Break them open with a axe, collect the brightest red-orange pieces into bundles of about a pound each. Sell them for about five to seven dollars each.

[@PatM1984VivoCristoRey]

I really liked that, great work! I can relate to the "losing" stuff in the forest video. I was doing some inventory a few years ago, stood on a wasps nest, cue running like hell, lost my glasses. Luckily I had GPS-d it, so I came in the winter, found them, still have them today!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Gaidal Cain lol You're lucky to find them again. Good thing you had that GPS!

[@haroldcale4767]

okay, how far do you have to travel from home to your log cabin site? so far I have noted that your family is awesome in helping you build your cabin, great job and you may have a career in building log cabins in the future you think? loving a moment in watching you build. this is a learning curse for me as well, being a city boy all my life. oh I have gone camping in California with my brother from Lemoore and now back home in ky. camping - fishing - not much hiking for I'm now 72yrs old or yrs young, lol. but like my way of life since it's all I know. keep up the good work and thanks again for sharing. hope to see you good forks in this life, if not maybe in the next. I read what it says in the bible, heaven is great place to be, not to mention our lord and savior will be there to worship as well.

[@erictheepic5019]

Recently I read a book called "The Sign of The Beaver." It's a nice, easy read, but the name of it makes me think of something. "The Sign of The Outsider." (The axe on the log) lol

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Eric Gaechter Ha ha thanks!

[@erictheepic5019]

OutsideFun1 No problem! I'm always one for laughs.

[@johngodwin7902]

Great job. I can't wait to see it come along. Thanks. I will most likely never get to do what you are doing so I love watching.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

John Godwin Thanks John!

[@thatotherdebra1834]

I'm sorry the weather in August caused you guys so much trouble.. But, hey, congratulations on finding the spring so close to the cabin sight, that is an invaluable resource! Thanks for sharing another great video, and praying that your efforts continue to be blessed.

[@sethwarner2540]

Please let air flow under tarp, or you will allow soil moisture to condense on your logs from underneath!

[@ronaldcheatham1784]

Definitely worth seeing the mistakes. Good teaching. Very much like the journey. What size bar on chain saw? Also enjoy additional information from other viewers. Peace bro. Be safe

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Ronald Cheatham Thanks for watching through the series! Both chainsaws have a 16" bar. I'd prefer a longer bar, but they do the job for me.

[@jameshaynie4570]

Had you corrected your opinion on poplar.

[@sandrachambers523]

Greetings.. My husband and I are looking at building our own home ... You have helped us very much with your video's.. If there was 1 thing you could do over what would have been...?? What area of the country do you live in..??

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Sandra Chambers Thanks Sandra! I'm glad to know that my series has helped you and your husband along in your journey. ...Good question. To be honest, I can't think of one thing that I'd do differently. Even when I make a mistake, I consider it a learning experience. You can't have success without the setbacks I suppose. ...Well, now that I think about it the only thing I'd do differently is wear my hardhat all the time. Not that I've needed it, but I do realize that safety is very important.

[@breadlalone5090]

2:13 I don’t know why but this looks like it should be in the Marblehorn its series like just this small clip where he’s running to the forest says nothing and it’s just *running*

[@canesser1]

You can also dig a trough and put those stubborn logs in water for awhile, line it with a tarp to hold the water then peel. Trick of the trade I learned years ago. What kind of felling axe are you using Outsider?

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Canesser Interesting method! I'll have to try that if I ever get the chance. Thanks for the tip. ...I'm not even sure anymore who manufactured my axehead (I installed the hickory handle myself). It was just a generic brand, so nothing special.

[@markduncan6690]

Has the outer bark of the tree have any use??

[@cee128d]

Interesting series of videos so far. Hope to see more of them in the future. One question though. What is the font you are using for the outsider1? I've been looking for it for quite some time and haven't been able to figure it out. Used to use it in the 80's and want to do so again.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

cee128d I actually can't remember the name of it. KZbin offers about 5 different fonts on their video editing page under "Title" I think. It's one of those.

[@rredrobin1]

Please tell us what state you guys are building in it is beautiful.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Robin S lol The great state of Ontario.

[@outdoorstuff34]

Australia could do with some rain like that!

[@Ysmtt]

I'm pretty late to the party but I am loving this series; the quality of your videography is astounding and up to par with modern videos which I find incredible. I'm looking forward to the rest of the build!

[@expierreiment]

I'm curious about the winter episode. Have you been there already and are the logs still there?

[@NotSoFunnyAdult]

will you be updating this and doing more videos for 2015? This is easily the most entertaining video on log cabin building that i've come across. PLEASE tell me you are continuing in 2015

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Ofer Zak Thanks Ofer! You're in luck! lol I have been doing some filming this winter, and construction will be in full swing in about a month or so. More episodes are definitely coming. Stay tuned my friend.

[@NotSoFunnyAdult]

OutsideFun1 SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.....

[@shawnoneill1709]

I've worked as an arborist for years. All arborists must use personal protective equipment consisting of hard hats, chainsaw pants, steel toed work boots and safety glasses. I encourage you to use some P.P.E ( personal protective equipment) Otherwise your videos are interesting and an inspiration for many people.

[@donaldhofman296]

Shawn O'Neill when I work around other people I wear ppe , when I'm alone I don't, I have to be able to run in any direction, and safety gear slows me down! I rely on a spotter when others are around!

[@goyanks12995]

Love these vids man! I hope you do continue to make episodes throughout the year, because I am really interested to see what happens during the winter.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

goyanks12995 Thanks goyanks! Well that's just more incentive for me to make some winter episodes. Here's hoping.

[@bobjohnson2742]

Does cutting down trees in Ontario require a permit/license, or is there a limit as to how many you can cut down? Thanks

[@markduncan6690]

Head for cover!! I got caught in a huge storm in South Western Ontario! Possible Tornado!!

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

[@oliverclaffey5186]

Sorry mate you are not trained to give advise on felling trees and the danger involved. Great video on your adventure.

[@andailchanter545]

Hey mr. 'trained professional', don't let OSHA catch you running that chainsaw and wearing gloves.

[@wumao6797]

Then would it work if you fall the trees during winter and peel then at 1st of June?

[@johnstewartwalleye8544]

like your channel worried about your chainsaw skills watching more videos play safe

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+John Stewart Thanks John. I definitely admit that I made SEVERAL big mistakes when it came to felling the poplar. I'd say it was my worst fell. I knew right away that I went about it all wrong. However, I decided then and there that I would never incorrectly drop a tree again. lol So hopefully you'll see an improvement in the following episodes. I wrestled with whether or not to include that bad drop in the episode, but I figured it would be a good example of how NOT to drop a tree.

[@AdventuresWithKatieinMaine]

+OutsideFun1 happens and this is great teaching tool for others,

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

OutsideFun1 the hinge was not the only issue, you make your front cut the common (incorrect) way, making a cut parallel to the ground and then a 45° cut. The proper way, even according to the Stihl chainsaw manual, is to make two 45° cuts. This way there is a 90° chunk missing, so that when the tree meets itself in the cut, the top of the tree is on the ground; with the old way when the tree meets itself in the cut the top of the tree is still in the air. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with your poplar kickback, but it is a contributing factor to some kickbacks. Good luck with the cabin.

[@offgridbc6810]

Actually, as a professional faller for 12 years most of the cuts are wrong. Contrary to what you stated in your video you do not cut the tree so it stays attached to the stump. A proper hinge controls the tree direction and releases it from the stump in a conrolled manner. Please do not give falling advice to novices if you don't know what you are doing. I like your channel but stick with what you say in the beginning do not use this as a teaching video. Also your advice on what to use to build a log cabin is incorrect, a lot of log house builders use nothing but green timber because is it much easier to peel and cut, and use a scribe method to control the checking of the tree.

[@DonCrowleyAzRealtor]

Thanks for the great videos! When you are old you will tell your children and grandchildren how you, your dad and friends built this cabin. God Bless

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

***** Thanks Don! I like the thoughts of that. God bless brother.

But here's my plan: 2014- Get logs cut and seasoned. 2015- Finish gathering logs, put in foundation, and lay first couple rows of logs. 2016- Put in cabin flooring and finish cabin walls. Install door & window frames. 2017- Finish the roof and work on interior. 2018- Make furniture and put in well. 2019- Install off-grid stuff and move in? lol

Im at the end of ep.5 which is the episode where u discovered a freshwater spring. -that my outdoor friend is wat i call good Karma. A friend of my family had an idea a couple 30 odd yrs ago or even a dream would b more accurate- 2 build a log cabin on a few acres in the woods in southwest rural Ohio on weekends, evenings & other available free time he had. That log cabin worked out so well 4 him that he was able 2 make it into a business which i believe hes active in 2 this day. Its end of Feb 2020. I was fortunate enuf 2 b in his employ during 2011,12, & part of 2013. Which took us 2 Texas, Forbes Mt. Colorado, & a couple builds back here in Ohio. Since the availabity of U-Tube, internet etc ive seen alot of different methods & styles of construction of log cabins & have learned alot from watching videos such as urs. Wat im trying 2 say is thx 4 taking the time 2 videotape, narrate & explain wat & y u did things the way u did them. Good stuff. C u at the next build.

[@leespinner1231]

I am really liking your channel and videos. What video camera are you using? What software are you editing with? I want to start creating my own KZbin videos and any help you can give me would be highly appreciated. Thanx.

[@alzathoth]

this is a FANTASTIC video series. I look forward to seeing you choose a cabin site, prep it, and start/lay your planned foundation. I am amazed to see your luck in finding a nearby spring. are you planning on digging or drilling a well for your cabin? a hand 'water pump' would look very cool in front of your build, and could be a video unto itself! :) thanks again for your great video series! :)

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

alzathoth Glad to hear that you're enjoying the series! Yeah I was pretty excited to find that spring. In the future, I plan to install some sort of hand-pump that will draw water directly from the spring.

traci beacer lol It's a comin'. It's been a hard winter and I havn't been able to accomplish much. But the snow slowly receding now and I'm gearing up for another great season out in the bush.

[@gladtidings4all]

The reason for rain is because you should be resting and doing no work on the holy seventh day sabbath. If you’d rest you would see more blessings easier faster work during the work week. The fourth commandment is the holy seventh day starts on Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. Believe me, keeping God’s holy day my life is so much easier in health work, etc

[@cliffstevenson5773]

Starting at the beginning of the log cabin build! A suggestion: pile brush and branches in an out-of-the-way spot - habitat for critters!

[@victoriansword]

KZbin recommended your videos, I assume, because I had viewed and liked a few of the short videos on Dick Proenneke. Our local PBS station ran "Alone in the Wilderness" as a part of its fund raising efforts, and as a city boy I was mesmerized. Your videos are fantastic, and I am especially enjoying this series. I really admire your determination and patience, especially since you know this is a multi-year project. I think many people, probably me included, would want to get it done as quickly as possible and then later regret rushing it. As someone with no experience or knowledge of woodworking or building, I have a question about debarking. What are the advantages of your method versus using something like a draw knife to remove the bark?

[@GilbertNichols]

I don't know if you've used the Scripture reference yet where a school of prophets were felling trees when they lost the axehead in the water and Elisha was called upon to retrieve it in the most unusual way. (2 Kings 6)

[@J9_j3]

wow. i did not realize how much TIME it will take to collect enough logs to start building a cabin. seems like it'll be 2-3 years before you even have enough seasoned logs to build a wall box. with this conclusion wattle and daub method really started to look more and more appealing and cost effective.

[@dbcooper692]

be careful on that dirt bike or you won't be building any thing for a long time

[@kurtislowe9464]

Not to be mean but your felling techniques or lack of in all your vids are very scary to me. Hope you stay alive to live in the cabin

[@T_bone]

If you have expertise you could make some videos, or refer folks to videos you have found accurate and useful.

[@TheindefatigableGovernor]

You are taking way too many unnecessary risks with the chainsaw. No earplugs, no helmet, no protective clothing and poor technique. Please reconsider your actions. You should change the name of the channel to Felix the cat, because you have expended many more than nine lives.

Jeffrey Cruz I'm 65 years young, and used a chain saw since I was 12, and I don't use a hard hat or ear plugs! I want to hear every snap and crack that the tree makes! I would be dead saveral times if i hadn't been able to hear that slight crack of a widow maker!

[@tomstephens3029]

@@carolyn9andthecats653 Haha, you have a real problem with people doing the job properly and professionally don't you. People watch these videos and appreciate them but decide to leave a comment on safety out of kindness and experience. You seem to reply to every one of these comments with some joke because it's sooo cool do the job with no helmet and protection right!? Wish I was such an amateur like you with no skills, how awesome would I be!?

[@chrishession6253]

You stretch the importance of safety and knowledge, yet the only peace of protective gear you wear when running a saw is a plaid shirt and jeans? Not to be a safety Sally, but you of all people should know what damage a chainsaw can do to you. Or go permanently blind from a wood chip In the eye? Not trying to be rude or pick a fight, I'm hopefully giving you advise, from one man to another. Google image search "Chainsaw accident" and you'll be convinced.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Chris Hession I appreciate you caring enough to fill me on on the importance of safety equipment, and so thank you. I admit that I'm not perfect on the equipment side of things, but I almost always wear safety glasses (except I was terrible for wearing them in this episode), and I'm working on wearing my hard hat. Chaps would be nice to have too.
