Solo Bushcraft Shelter Build in the Woods - Adirondack

[@KentSurvival]

just to beat you to it, yes i should be wearing my chainsaw trousers and no.. i no longer fit in them 😂 should have checked that first haha. Enjoy the vid.

[@northernembersoutdoors1045]

I burst my belt today, the shame, I know where you're coming from😅😅

[@hendrikarqitekt6286]

no, safety is out

[@thestealthymaltesefalcon]

Takes a big man to admit his chainsaw trousers no longer fit....LOL. I love your Videos Andy

[@Sanderly1820]

Why did you make the initial 2 little cuts first before cutting out what was needed

[@alessia0064]

And a full face safety mask !!

[@dojmills]

You had me hyped up for this one Andy! I'm looking forward to following the progress.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Dave.. me too haha

[@spongeiac6380]

Him cracking the wood is so satisfying!

[@perplane]

Wow, Real life Lincoln logs! This is Incredible and I can't wait to see you finish this shelter. You had to be exhausted after this stage of the build. Thanks for sharing this video Andy. Love what you do Mate!!

[@kianward5999]

protective glasses would be nice azwell

[@jbennettkernan1211]

Fantastic! I love watching this type of video. Self explanatory, no commentary needed!

[@romac9516]

I missed this originally. The art of cabin building is fascinating. From the world around you, construct a rock-solid shelter that withstands falling trees, hurricanes and storms. Grats too Andy on your sub numbers, that's astonishingly good! Atb x

[@Uglehytten]

This looks really good Andy. I cannot wait to see part two :) Nothing beats an old school shelter in the woods. Cheers from Denmark!

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you Martin

[@susanbrown2909]

Good stuff andy...a nice log cabin ,and a lovely meal once it’s all done. Thanks Kent.

[@KentSurvival]

haha, cant wait for that meal :D

[@andrewmegginson5553]

Utter genius ANDY. The time, skill and effort involved just to start a build like this in itself are to be commended. Your back must have been breaking? Really enjoyed this video, onto number two now.

[@matthewchallenger4735]

Always a joy to watch Andy.. much talent in his camping cooking and hut building.. when my son reaches a age he can watch and understand what he's looking at, I want him to watch Andy at work.

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you Matthew :D

[@jasonc9194]

This video and the whole process is just amazing to watch, combined with the fact that in all of your videos, you make your audience feel part of the experience and your happy, friendly presentation style makes all of your videos a joy to watch. Thank you for posting and please keep it up.

[@victorparker8287]

Wow. You are a man of many God given talents. One of the things I like about you is, you don't mind sharing them to help someone else be better. That says a lot about you sir. That's why I love watching your videos and telling other people about your shows. Many props from me sir Andy!

[@deborahphillips9034]

Watching you build my favorite camping shelter is truly an honor!! ❤

[@brendajohnson603]

You are so intelligent. I can't believe all you know and haven't gotten someone to offer you a higher pay. Excellent job, Mr. Andy.

[@jameslucas4542]

Keep it coming, would love to see more of this project. Thank you for all you do.

[@boysinbush6986]

Wow what a build! The amount of work and skill needed for this type of build shouldn't be underestimated, very good work.

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you :) this was filmed over a few days but worth it haha

[@robstrong5734]

can't wait for the next episode. this video was almost hypnotic. going to be an amazing build

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Rob

[@andrewforrest8938]

Thanks for sharing a great video Andy the shelter will look absolutely amazing when it's finished I'll be watching part 1 to the finish can't wait to see the finished shelter , thanks Andy for sharing your video 👍 👏

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Andrew.. I really hope so haha

[@hermybaharuddin1285]

Great video.. Even greater when watching this with my kids during our Aidilfitri celebration for us Muslims all over the world, after a month of fasting.. Thanks a lot Andy.. Greetings from Malaysia...

[@claramullen]

Hi Andy well this is a nice surprise a new style shelter build and it looks like you have a fantastic start on it. Excited to see the next steps.

[@ihop8783]

I liked the sound of you processing the wood, it was very calming -minus chainsaw

[@johnreavis5024]

You do some awesome bushcraft builds!! Really enjoy your videos and I learn a lot from your detailed skills!!!

[@zhutousan4116]

everything's just so pleasing to me. It's satisfying to see you peel tree barks.

[@lockload685]

I thought this video will have some many views... the afort is strong in this one! Andy you the best !!❤

[@rjandrade4723]

Love all critics. Me I think you did a great job and I trust that someone who can build knows what they are doing and I trust your judgement.

[@salvatorebaleno9807]

Love this build already! I've spent so much time in the Adirondack Mountains of Northern NY State, so the Adirondack in the title had me excited right from the start. Although, your videos are pretty much always great no matter what. When you clean out those notches, save that wood it's awesome for re igniting a shouldering fire.

[@anotherpenny1942]

Came here to say that haha

[@ТУРИСТ-АВАНТЮРИСТ]

It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist. ✌️

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you very much :D

[@Sotnek79]

I love the crunching sound when you break the wood.

[@silverfoxjohnson9390]

Talk about working hard, can’t wait to see this finished! Take care and be safe!

[@BirdYoumans]

I saw your cabin in a thumbnail for what must have been part 3 but when it mentioned part one and two, I immediately clicked to watch part one because I wanted to see it from the ground up so to speak. First time seeing your work. Your skill with the timbers is certainly impressive, but what I want to comment on is your video making. I make music videos and we can do as many takes as it takes to get the shots we want. I've also made some vids showing how I built a shop, a shed, a recording studio editing suite etc. but each time I did those I was in a hurry to finish the buildings so I could use them so the video suffered as a result compared to my music vids which I don't rush. I only said that because it helps you understand why I watch for someone's skill in editing and story telling etc. You did an excellent job on this video. Your changing of angles and points of interest and the flow involved in the story telling, just excellent. I'm constantly balancing my ADD with my OCD lol. But you kept my attention the entire 28 minutes the way you let it evolve. Kudos my friend. New sub here.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

You demonstrate fine and patient work at every step with cutting those saddle joints and using the chisels.

[@luptonwell]

Been looking forward to this since i saw the thumbnail last week, didn't disappoint 👍

[@kevinvaughn3715]

I like that you didn't notch it too thin. And you picked a fine chainsaw. Well done!

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Kevin

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

All that fantastic craftsmanship but the building is the size of a dollhouse!

[@mattharte7334]

This is bloody brilliant Andy liking the way you’re just getting on with it, no dialogue and just thinking about the job. I slept in an Adirondack in Finnish Lapland woke up the next morning half eaten by mossies. Looking forward to part 2 really enjoy your videos.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Matt. haha, i used them in sweden.. thankfully was still a bit cold for the mossies.

[@jbakervlogs2111]

Spot on mr Andy 😃👍

[@jennifersaunders4473]

That is a beautiful forest! Thank you for including us!

[@erikagrubbs3630]

Andy, you are so talented. You amaze me on how you you can build with wood, and create delicious food. Looking forward to part two.

[@rm8679]

You are fast. You built at least 1/2 of a cabin in 28 min. Amazing! :)

[@tomwilson6915]

YES!!! Teased us all with mentions of this one for the last few years, great to see it finally happening!!! 😆

[@DDRR00]

When a dream becomes reality - Thanks for sharing the process, Andy.

[@oldtimer9879]

Been waiting for this build Andy. Can't wait to see your progress but looking really good so far. And yes I was going to mention you should wearing the correct PPE but only cos I want to see the project finished! LOL

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Nicholas

[@santabubba50]

Nice way to spend a dreary rainy night, glass of wine watching this video.... thanks

[@harveyhagar]

This is going to be EPIC. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@stannelson2582]

Hacked out a bench a few years back and I love my creation. And yup I’m going to work on your idea myself! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@harolynallison485]

Your filming and your research are impeccable. An artist you are

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you very much indeed

[@jasonsmith9401]

Safety glasses my friend. Awesome build tho!

[@troybranaman316]

Wow Andy!! What a great build . It takes alot of work and knowledge to build a cabin like this . Putting thos logs together must be so satisfying. I cant wait to see what's next . Great video as always Andy! Take care and stay safe my friend !

[@V1975-q5h]

Absolutely loving the chilled vibe, content, narration, and camera work of yr channel Andy. You have a new subscriber......

[@johnwells1483]

Mesmerising, and therapeutic in one video. Well done that man

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers John

[@texasford]

Whew! Work it brother Jones ! Great build you have going, take care of yourself hauling those big logs around. Looking forward to part 2 🍺

[@kristynantone6989]

I’m enjoying this so much. It’s real life Lincoln logs. I love it. Awesome job! I’m excited for more.

[@graceknight2471]

From one artist to another... HOLY CRAP!!!😲😲😲

[@KentSurvival]

:D thanks Grace

[@aynsleycooper365]

Andy, this is/was interesting to watch, informative for us, and very well edited. Nice work. We are informed by, and accept the safety notes that have appeared, too.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Aynsley

[@kevinmcauley5218]

wow - what an awesome video. Usually, watch Thursday mornings your videos before work but not today - had to be watched today. AWESOME Andy

[@uberyoutuber3892]

Make sure to add an Adirondack chair as well. My dad made 4 when I was a kid and they're still rock solid chairs after 20yrs.

[@KentSurvival]

good idea, thanks :)

[@williameddy7217]

A great video Andy can't wait for Part 2 Hope you will do lots of Bushcrafty things at this location for years to come 👍👍👍

[@craggleroks]

I feel like I'm gonna be sore in the morning just watching this. That looked knackering.

[@KentSurvival]

haha, cheers... you bet i am

[@AncientHermit]

Coming along nicely Andy. Looking forward to seeing more of it too. Be well. 😉

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Ian, me too haha

[@northislandguy]

Wow can’t wait to see more of the development Andy 🤙

[@kimdusick1783]

i loved Lincoln Logs as a kid.......hes doing it as an adult...jealous lol

[@beer_advocate]

This is great, Andy. Really happy for you.

[@craiglake6091]

Wow! It's like watching the old TV show Wagon Train. I kept expecting to see Virgil Vogel step into frame at any moment. Great, great crafting mate.

[@KentSurvival]

:D thanks Craig

[@lucienwilliams4359]

Hi Andy great video just a technical question was the long shots of you deliberately out of focus to spare us incase you had a gory accident LOL I would advise a face mesh mask though as a trip to A and E to fish out a splinter I did many years ago wasn't fun.

[@evelinlieder3849]

Так красиво работаете и чисто,приятно наблюдать!!!

[@nikkigoldsmith3909]

Good work Andy, can't wait to see the end result. Certainly a lot of work and planning. I'm sure it's not as easy as your making look.welldone. 💖

[@chrisrobson8540]

epic mate.....hope its not far away from the smoker!!!......a much underused build for a food lover lol......cant wait for part 2 next week and all that's to come in the future👍👍

[@chillaxorz]

Great Job Andy! I'm looking forward to the next part!

[@mrspudly1]

That was brilliant Andy, been waiting for this build for ages. Keep up the great work.

[@91Bronco]

Man I tell you what, that is a lot of work you are putting in there! Great job on the video.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Edward :) part 1 took a few days of work haha

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Pretty cool, Andy. I can smell the bacon cooking inside when you are done, already. 👍🙂😋🥓

[@dannyburrell4014]

That will be a nice log cabin. I saw an Alaskan trapper building one and he ran the chain saw between the logs to lesion the amount of moss he had to fill in the gaps. Tip of the day. Next episode looks good too using Alaskan saw mill.

[@KentSurvival]

yeah.. its probably not that clear but i do have gaps ready to be filled with the moss from the old a frame shelter thats dried out :) haha yeah, those mills are harder work than i thought haha

[@christopherinteriors6521]

A fantastic video as always and it is nice to see something a little different. As you are using a chainsaw, I don't think anyone would mind you using a battery drill for drilling the holes😂. Huge respect though, this looks like hard work!

[@EddieOakes]

What an awesome video! Can't wait for part 2!

[@ericjensen6973]

awesome Andy. can't wait to watch it grow. cheers

[@phoenixnights2296]

Oh Good Andy your building a Log shelter and your doing it the right way, the only thing I would do is put packing, between the logs like moss before penning them down. good luck hope it go's well. For the next shelter if you do it you should try building a Dugout shelter they look good with just the roof showing.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers. yeah, ill chink with moss when im done with the roof... should be nicely dried from the a frame :) Next up is a cruck frame. I wouldnt mind a dug out but it seems a little 'destructive' for want of a better word in a smallish woodland

[@sow1827]

Always a treat to watch and follow your adventures!

[@Intotheoutdoors69]

Sorry Andy I had fallen so far behind with everyone's videos but am starting to get back through them now. Great build mate it's looking really good😁👍

[@andrejvasiljev7477]

BEST HOUSE!!! SUPER !!!

[@MrPsycocircus]

I haven’t missed one of your video since I found you in 2020 and this video is so freaking awesome! I cannot wait to see the finished product great job Andy!

[@KentSurvival]

:D thanks buddy, thats great to hear. fingers crossed the rest of the build goes as smoothly haha

[@charlesfaulkner8653]

Great video. If you keep adding rooms you could start a bed and breakfast place in the woods. Best wishes from Texas.

[@mentalneil]

Awesome video Andy, definitely going to be a labour of love, man start using a drill for the dowel holes nobody expects you to do it all by hand, after all you are using a chainsaw, so a drill won't harm. You've got me gripped for follow up videos on this build now, all the best from Chatham, Kent

[@KentSurvival]

haha, thanks Neil. i should get a bit the right size but im this far now so ill carry on with the auger lol

[@sdsi68]

Excited for you Andy 😃, can't wait for the next video 😁🤙🤙🤙

[@MrDefaultti]

Now you are doing it. Camping ain't bush crafting. This is. Nice work! 🙂

[@KentSurvival]

been too long since the last shelter build haha

[@belindabattersby9120]

Wow notlong found your channel and I love it, wow you are so clever wish I had a man like you, you can build from nothing and COOK, fantastic x❤️❤️

[@goprocaz4019]

Andy you are bloody marvellous, loved the video can’t wait for the next one 👍

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks very much :D

[@Foxy1066]

This can lead to so many videos, during and after and really show off your skills, good call here, extensions, hot tub, smoke house, log shed, fireplace, wood carving etc etc etc

[@paulharding1621]

Fascinating, looking forward to part two.

[@jenniferclulow2287]

I started from your very first video and am up to this one 🎉

[@wingnut1690]

Mate I love what you do and I must say I need some of that relaxation solitude myself

[@oddmanout98]

What a huge amount of work Andy. A fantasy project though. Not to mention having to keep starting and stopping to film it for us. I saw you soon got the hang of notching with the chainsaw tip. Great work. Good luck with progress. Looking forward to part 2. Happy to lend a hand don’t forget. Atb. Paul.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks :) yeah, i was a bit scared of those saddle joints but its not too bad.. no expensice scribe tool needed ;)

[@mandybeynon8893]

Looking good Andy thank you for another fabulous video looking good can’t wait to see when you done 💕

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Enjoyed watching you build your new cabin. Hope you're going to talk about it soon. Best wishes.

[@rgober60]

Good start to your cabin, can't hardly wait to see the rest as you put it up . Thanks for sharing Andy, be safe and Take Care. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Joker33743]

Wow Andy Looks so good already That must have been a hard day Cant wait for next installment

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks.. that was a few days haha, its about an hour a log plus hand drilling :p

[@stefan.5987]

Nice first part and i'm hyped for the next part already. Good stuff Andy. 👍✌️

[@blackvelvet9662]
