How do you insulate the walls though?

Give your pup a big hug for me. He looked a little traumatized there for a little bit. So sad to have seen this happen to your cabin.

Why not break it down and rebuild it?

Dang

So are you going to build another cabin? Cause there was a lot of good wood that you made into planks etc you could of scavenged off the cabin before you torched it?

How many trees did you waste?

Wouldn’t you be worried about wood shrinking bc of the green wood. Not sure on the time lapse of cutting down the trees to building

Man that looks like my kind of heaven.I wish I could have done something like this in my younger days but pushing 52 now and dealing with a neck thats been broken twice and a bad hip that dream has long since surpassed me.Maybe in the next life Ill be blessed enough to venture into the wilderness and find out what I'm made of.I think I could have done something like this and been fine ,I have lots of building skills in framing and roofing and plumbing my main skill and profession is Electrical and I have many years of bushcraft and survival experience.Anyway ,thanks for sharing your awesome experience. I enjoyed watching.Also , your pooch needed some muttlucks for his paws .One more thing Bears are dicks,😅 some electric fence wire around the greenhouse would be a good thing for the bears.Sad end my friend,Canadian Gov sucks ass ,all Government sucks.

What a waste. You should have kept the wood

Heartbreaking, I hope you are still motivated!

Glad you survived to share the yarn. Is it possible you went into that Class IV rapid knowing you would likely flip, so you could create some exciting cam footage? Probably not, but who knows. I have had canoe trips like that, swimming in blue jeans in 6' standing waves in ice cold water. Surprised I ever survived ...

You're an embarrassment

This broke my heart 😢😢😢😢

So sorry for the ending, i hope you'll find another place to build another cabin and have a place to rest.

Why, why you did this? maby somebody alls like to stay there!

thats so sad , not hurting anybody, this country going down the same path as usa uk aus nz and s africa

❤

What if you just ignored them and said f it, ridiculous they wouldn't just let you be alone 🙄

Should have disassemble it, mark each log make resembling easier and dragged it as close to the center of the gold claim as he could.

I see homesteading, not one video in there of you prospecting. These areas are not made to live. You do not own that land. Follow the rules next time.

That is heart breaking! 😢

OMG my heart broke for you. I hope you rebuild. Peace

You are marvelous. Present and happy. The only way to be in infinity. Thank God it IS LOVE .

That truly is heart wrenching awful

Wow man, it wasn’t that far off the claim and I’m sure it would be heck to try to get it moved but it was on skids! Personally, I would have found a way to drag ‘er back. So close yet so far. Sorry for your loss and better luck on the next one. Cheers from NB.

Why didn't you dismantle it and move it closer to your claim

I would have pulled and saved things like the door, all the sawn lumber, cut the rest into nice seasoned firewood and rebuilt on the right section or as stated below just pull it down and move it piece by piece; but I would have also made damn sure I was on the right section to start with.

Damn dude You got a set of guns on you

So far what I see I think I'm going to love this show first time watching I seen it many times and finally I thought I'd watch it but I hope you're still taping and keeping a show alive Is that I think I really going to like watching you keep up the good work

Awesome, me thinks id be building my primitive camp near that creek! well done guys I learned something thanks

Not water, a bucket with sand is safer, too kill fire..I just wanna see, the first I see, without a dog.. what a cutie 🥰

Wow. Wasn't the dwelling supposed to portable? Since all of that wood has already been perfectly cut to size, I would have moved it piece by piece across the line onto my own claim.

Why wouldn't you anchor it to some beams and try to use a come along and bench it over 100ft ? Going by the looks of that map and GPS print you were within sliding distance? I understand frustration would make you wanna burn it down bit I would have tried to scoot it and then given the land the same amount of trees used. All cut and stacked

Didn't seem that far away. But maybe taking any of the wood would be illegal from land not yours. Sad!

How did you charge you saw and drill batteries

you went through the whole red dead redemption experience of building and burning down cabins and that is an amazing achievement

What an awesome journey, thanks for sharing. Youre a tough dude!

What kind of log notcher comes up with these ideas?

I would have open another mining claim closer to the cabin! I'm sorry for your loss!

All that snow and your wasting energy on a lake just boil snow. Prideful people I don’t feel sorry for.

One more thing guru guy you won’t be young forever or even alive. Live is like a passing shadow you’ll see if you’re alive. Again read a bible and get to know God or don’t.

Now the only thing that is someone to keep you warm and to talk to. Your cabin be beautiful when you get finished and gou found some flat land to build that is a must have. Lots of luck, Cathy, Tennessee, USA 🇺🇸🌌🇺🇸

Stop complaint anq quite

I have been scouring CZcams and Reddit looking for a channel that is like yours, that has gone out and done a series like the one you did in Labrador. And they just don't exist, except for Greg Oven's or Zachary Fowler's 30 day survival challenges. You're one of a kind. Which makes me sad, because I would like to see more content like that. I'm sure it's prohibitively difficult, but it's fantastic stuff.

Oi amigo !❤

Could you not have expanded your claim to cover the cabin or were you encrouching on another claim?

I have been binging lots of your videos, Matty. I love the content. It's raw, real, no fluff, enjoyable. You're a real one. I wish this adventure had continued, I was really enjoying it. Your Arctic boating expedition was neat, but it didn't hold a candle to this. Hope to see more like this!

I adopted a stray rez dog from Saskatchewan, Zora (in the pic) looks part wolf but she's the sweetest thing you'll ever meet. If you look up a tamaskan dog, that's exactly what she looks like. But the odds that someone intentionally bred a tamaskan in Saskatchewan, then abandoned it, are basically less than zero. So she must have won the genetic lottery. That dog is a genius. She is leaps and bounds more intelligent, more social (polite), and more adaptable, than any dog I've met before or since. She's a bikepacker and canoe tripper extraordinaire. Respectfully doesn't chase the wildlife just tells me about them, but she's also treed a grizzly when it got too close to my parents.

That looked terrifying, I can kind of see why you ran it because it didn't look bad at the top. But you really got lucky to come out with your canoe and all your gear, not to mention more or less unharmed! Although by the sounds of the holes in your dry suit you were hitting something in there! Those mountain rivers are really quite terrifying (even after they leave the mountains), the way they just keep pushing and rarely give you an eddy pool, and most of all, all the trees in them, often invisible! Man this makes Ontario seem even better than it already does! We almost friggin died in the Sturgeon River by Edmonton in high water, we were going upstream and everything was fine, then round a bend and the river was pushing full force into a huge strainer and then straight into a wall, undercutting. We managed to stay upright and paddle out of it but I swear we would've been buried in that river until the water went down if we hadn't.
