- Here is a start to finish video of a small log cabin I built in Northern Canada. I used the Butt and Pass method, chinked with moss and put a moss covered roof on it. I hope you enjoy the video.

This is the best one I’ve seen all year long. He actually cleans up after himself as a builder so he doesn’t have to live like a pig in the wilderness. Great job.
Wow, thanks!

You can find another person building a log cabin by searching youtube for outsider1. The Canadian has a multi year series of building a log cabin on a budget. ( I have a public playlist of his series )
Yeap, it's really great, how you hear that screw-stripping sound, literally every time the drill is employed! That's HOW YOU KNOW you built a good house -- you stripped every screw while building it! Brilliant!

Excellent! I've watched all 6 previous episodes; subscribed on #2 and yet this beginning to end video is wonderful. Great work & stay safe!
Thank you very much!
The scenery is so peaceful...it's so beautiful and meticulously researched...it's truly a masterpiece of nature!!!❤❤❤
Thank you!
Yeah, the stripping of screws while drilling is a wonderful sound, it almost makes me want to rip out my ears.
@@HoldOffHunger You did a great job.. I also want to have a house like that
Love watching this guy. Super beneficial knowledge. Making a small cabin has been something I have wanted to do for a while now. I'm not going quite that primordial. I would have solar and gas generated power. It's on a farm that is in the middle of gods country. Plenty of old growth woods,ferns,and a creek. Plus it's my families land too. Working out everything in my head and plan on giving it a go cause I'm tired of this shit.
Thanks you. With a location like that I'd be cutting and peeling the trees first thing in the spring if I was you. Good luck with the build!
Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!! It was a joy to watch your build :)
Wow, Nick and Maela! Thank you so much for the kind comment! If anyone wants to see some amazing log cabin build videos please visit Nick and Maela’s CZcams channel @ www.youtube.com/@NickandMaela . They do really amazing work. Thanks again guys!
Nice job, pretty structure. I like the covered porch, very practical. I would screen it in as the mosquitoes and black flies plus all their friends go for me, from the West Coast to Ontario. Moss roof is a nice touch. I would add some sort of shutters to cover the windows and a more skookum door (bears). My family has built a number of cabins out here in BC over the past 100 years, from little ones to big, and all have been loved.
You are very patient and polite with the rude commenters, much more than I am. Hope your health improves so you can continue with your plans. Cheers
Dang, what a great job, I really enjoyed the build, thanks so much!

One canuck to another, what a nice little cabin, i like the finishing touch with the mossy roof, i was surprised when you did that, it looks really nice. Ric, ontario canada.
Thank you. And I agree, the roof really brings it together.

Un très bon travail, excellent👍👍. Mérite une bonne bière 😎😎
Merci pour le commentaire. Oui, cela pourrait mériter quelques-uns
Love you so much,great job
Thank you!
My friend did it beautifully and very well.. the forest is also very beautiful
Thank you. I'm loving the forest back there. There was a fire that went through the area a few years ago but it still looks nice.
Awesome job! 👌
Thanks!
Good work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your cabin is truly amazing well done i have always wonted to live in one but they dont build them in ENGLAND so much 🤗
Thank you! Living in one would be nice, maybe one day.
There you'd build it out of stone and it would still be there in a hundred years haha.
Buy you some land with plenty of trees and start building it. You will love every minute of it and when you finish it, stand back and look at it with joy in your heart. I always wanted a cabin in the woods but it is to late for me now as I am 77. Please don’t wait until it is to late.
@@backwoodssolitudeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
If you have the money, why can't you?
Damn good job. Beautiful cabin.
Thank you!
Lots of hard work my man!
God bless!
Enjoy the cabin!
Thanks! Will do!
@@backwoodssolitudePorque não Fazer Sanitário! Se a Cabana é tão bem Feita e bela? 🇧🇷 Brasil
I would do it this way I think. Nice work brother
Thank you. Ya this is a pretty easy and quick way of doing it. Traditional scribe method would be a fun build but would go a little slower.
As usual another excellent video
Merry Christmas to you both

Same to you! Thank you

Grazie e grazie per il commento.
Good job
Thanks
Impressive.
Thank you
Bom trabalho, lindo mesmo
Obrigado pelo comentário gentil
Curious question: why did you not put a vapor barrier under the cabin floor to minimize moisture coming up through to the cabin & floor? Was there a reason? Would like to know.
It's kind of a long story. Very briefly, it was, at might still be, just a shed to keep tools in while I build a proper cabin, health issues got in the way so now I'm using it as a cabin while I dial in medications. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Parabéns, vc é muito inteligente, a sua cabana está maravilhosa, amei!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Muito obrigado 😀
A very nice cabin, it’s so peaceful there. Is the inside done or will you do another video 🌸
Thank you, the inside is not done, I'll do more videos, thanks for commenting.
nice video
Thanks for the visit
Bravo! Loved watching the series. How long did this build take from cutting first log to completion? Thanks for sharing your experience.
From first log to what's completed in the video took about 6 months. But there's a lot of drying time in there as well as short work days.
😍👍😀great
Thank you! Cheers!

What species of tree are those than peel so easily? Does the season or time of year have any bearing on the peeling of the bark? I am intrigued and very curious.
They're pine trees. Peeling them when the sap is running works best, April -June. Thanks for watching
Where in northern Canada ?? I also subscribe to your videos. Love,love them! ❤
I am 80 years young and I would love to live in a cabin year long! So peaceful ❤
east of Toronto here, and that's pretty much my dream. In Ontario, there's a slight issue with jacked prices for land, and if you could purchase, to build cabins, you'd have to be in an unorganized township (avoid permits/inspections). Working on it... but it looks like I'd have to win the lottery first. Great job! Just subscribed.
Ya, currently prices are a little out of control but hopefully it gets better soon. Unorganized township is the key to get around that stuff and it'll likely be cheaper land as well.
Thanks for watching
Molto bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Thank you!
Excelente... um multitool kit!!
Obrigado pelo comentário.
Nice build! But to be honest i am worried about the foundation, seems to be pretty weak?
Did you have to buy land to build that house. And that is a Awesome log cabin for you doing it all yourself good job dude.
There are some circumstances that allow you to build a cabin on crown land but for the vast majority it would need to be on private property. Thank you for the comment.
Wait! Did you not get the memo? I think you have to have a dog - it's some sort of law or something :XD Such a lot of hard work by yourself, so impressive! I really enjoyed the whole film, thank you:)
Lol ya, there're dogs in nearly all these types of videos. Maybe one day I'll get one. Thank you for the kind comments
How long did it taketo build? Really nice !!!
Tetap semangat kawan. Salam hangat dari Indonesia
Halo Indonesia! Terima kasih atas kata-kata baiknya.
so wonderful. everything is so beautiful❤
Thank you!
Show us some honest pictures after the 1st winter I wanna see how good the roof held up I'm sure it's gonna cave in
Ok will do
I love your living roof! Has it held up well? ❤
It has. It's still green and thriving. I didn't expect it to do so well
جميل 🙂
Thanks
How moist can the wood be when processing?
I'm not sure of a percentage but I find that logs with a diameter of 5 or 6 inches need at least 2 months of drying time whereas 8 or 10 inch logs need a full year.
Hey man, great stuff question for you. What trees did you harvest for these logs and what is the dimensions of those logs 6 inch or 8 inch?
Pine. The diameter ranges from 4" to 8". But you're correct, the vast majority would be around 6"
I love it. I would pay you to build me one a little bigger with a wood burning stove.
Thank you! Ya I've had a few offers now. I'm doing a deer stand this summer for a friend.
Great job, I love it!!!! Probably a stupid question but, why do you put moss on the roof and between the logs. Won't that cause bugs to get inside ur cabin?? Tyfs God bless
Moss on the roof protects tarp from sun, dampens sound for things like rain, provides some insulation, provides camouflage from overhead and looks nice. Between the logs is for insulation. I guess some small bugs may live in it but it helps prevent larger ones from coming in and stops mosquitoes. Thank you for the comment
@backwoodssolitude ah ok. Makes sense. It does look nice. You're welcome
Awesome build! What are the dimensions of the cabin?
Thank you. 8' x 8' not Including the front porch.
How long did it actually take to build it. It’s beautiful
About 6 months if I remember correctly. Some of that time was waiting for them to dry out though.
Cool and unique cabin, roughly how many pine trees did you have to use?
Somewhere around 90
❤❤🎉
Thank you
What type of tree is that that you’re peeling and using for the walls?
Pine trees, they're super easy to peel in April, May and June.
44:34 Will the weight of the dirt roof make it collapse or sag through the ceiling rafters?
Good call. I think it would at least sag so I installed some crossers. I did record that as well but it didn't take long so I might just add it into a future video. Thanks for watching.
Looks awesome just wondering how long it took you. Music needs to go lol😂.
It took 5 or 6 months, but lots of drying time is on there. Thanks for the tip on the music, I was up in the air on that lol.
👍
Thanks
What are you using for the log treatment ?
A semi-transparent exterior wood stain.
)) красиво, быстро но бестолково
Спасибо
Is the land your own, will you use the cabin for fun or living off grid ? Take care, stay safe 🌸
Friends land, fun as its pretty remote, thank you, safety first!
Osnt that the kind of caterpillar u can tell the winter severity from its bands?
Lol I've heard that about them. Yellow wooly bear.
Nice video but you are going to have a lot of room mates come winter time.
Lol hopefully not
Purchased logs? Very uniform.
No, cut and carried by hand. But ya most were super uniformed, made things easier. I might purchase some cedars for an upcoming build though, I think they'll be about $15/log.
Bonjour, je découvre votre vidéo, et je me demande pourquoi couper des arbres vivants, alors qu'il y en a tellement qui sont tombés déjà ? je n'ai pas encore tout vu de la vidéo, j'aurai peut-être une réponse à la fin ...
Bonjour, merci de regarder ! Abattre des arbres vivants se fait pour une multitude de raisons, notamment : la longévité, l'esthétique, le déblaiement de sentiers, la solidité des structures, la préoccupation concernant les tiques, la régénération de la forêt après un incendie, et ainsi de suite.
nezaman vernikledin göstermedin ama çok güzel oldu
Tesekkurler. Vernikleme icin 41:25'ten itibaren izleyebilirsin.

не дай бог в таком зимой оказаться...
Спасибо за комментарий.
Is that ok you make lock outside? 😮
Ya that's fine. If anyone stumbles on that cabin they're likely very lost and will need in. Thanks for the comment.
Hvor er din hytte flot❤❤ Hilsen fra Danmark (Skandinavien)😊😊
Hej Danmark! Tak for den venlige kommentar.
One question I have when I see these people building out in the wilderness, is where are they going to get water
For myself, there's a small stream close to the cabin. Some people use rain catches, some dig wells and some hard cores just carry the water in.
Did not like the moss on the roof otherwise excellent work!
That's my favorite part! Thank you for the comment.
Never trust a fuzzy caterpillar!
Correct lol. Thanks for the comment/advice.
How do you clean the mold off the logs
Sanding them took most of it off, but I wasn't able to find a great way to do it beside that. Staining will prevent it from spreading any further but I'll be focusing on trying to avoid it from starting in the first place. Thanks for the comment.
@@backwoodssolitude you could mist it with bleach water
You really need extra beams or crossbars between main beams or the roofs gonna collapse with snow reality check otherwise nice job
Thank you for the suggestion and comment.
so is the inside of the cabin 8x8?
Yes. Not much room but easy to heat.
00:41 TIMBER!
Lol ya, timber times about 80. Thanks for the comment
Er,...is it just me, but that roof won't survive the first snow fall? There's no boarding?
I think I'll loose a couple small chunks but the majority should be fine as it's held up with a rope. Thank you for the comment.

By the time the video gets to 1:09:36 it is more than apparent Mr. 'Backwoods Solicitude' avails himself extensively of product that is NOT conducive to backwoods solitude, including plywood and tools, which are battery reliant. Or how about all those factory made screws?
Question: How does one recharge those batteries which are relied upon extensively in the video to construct that 8' x 8' hut?
For those not mathematically inclined, 8' x 8'' is 64 sq ft. That's one f**k of a mess made for such a humble sized abode.
Whoops, another trifling sum of misery/detail to add to the foot of the account.
Thank you for the comments.
I'm sure you could have found enough quality fallen trees to build your cabin without having to fell living trees.
I've been utilizing the fallen ones as well but I strongly prefer the standing ones for a multitude of reasons. Thank you for the comment.
What province are you in
Ontario
Oi kaip reikia Lietuvos įstatymų tokiems šunų būdų statytojams
Instead of killing live trees you can use dead trees however well done
Depends on what is available and their condition. These logs are fresh, peel easily, etc. He does say he's been using fallen trees as well. He's not taking much out of a dense young forest.
