This is one of the most beautiful log cabins builds that I've seen. The smaller diameter logs, the compact size and it's location combine to make this a really wonderful little cabin. The gutter also gives you the opportunity to collect rainwater should you choose to do so. Thank you for sharing the build of your lovely cabin, it looks to be the place to share good times and make unforgettable memories.
Craig Gamble Thanks. It really is a simple design. Tie each course with rebar on the outside "pass" log, the but log is in the notch so it won't move. The corner's need to be level
its Pronunced Hamerica. It took me 2 years of full time im talkin all the time prime time 24/7 367 days o the year to lock down this prime borealis paradis. I looked at hundreds maybe millions of diff properties only to have the amburgler steal many out from under me nose just before closing. it aint easy being cheesy

Mark D I have 4.5 acres on Kosciusko island, southeast Alaska. If anyone here wants to help me with a vertical log Viking long house you are welcome to join me with it, and I’ll let you stay there whenever you want (including live there full time if you want)for five years immediately after completion...(after that, no promises)
@@GreatPlainsCraftsman but will the roof take 4 feet of snow or more. I have property in such a place with trees at 6890 ft elevation in the mountains.
I love it. You've done a fantastic job. I can just imagine sitting in front of the wood stove in the winter sipping a whiskey. Simplicity at it's finest.. Good luck to you..
This cabin is beautiful. Great job, its nice to see something tangible that last for decades that was built by hand. I have about 70 acrea in upstate ny, i would like to build a cabin like this for hunting, and relaxing. However iv put it off fir a few years now. To be honest im a bit intimidated. I dont do the wrong thing.
@@GreatPlainsCraftsman Thankyou that would be much appreciated. I will look forward to seeing it. Where did you learn how to build it. Books? Family? Videos?
That's a really nice cabin I'd love a cabin like that out in the countryside nice peaceful and relaxing. I was brought up in the countryside well pretty much brought myself up from an early age always loved building things going hunting,fishing servivel skills even done small hold farming I live in a city now have done for some time and still can't see the attraction of city living i hate the cities cities are horrible places So anyone living in the countryside who's thinking of moving to a city don't do it cities aren't good places and living in a city you can forget any relaxing peaceful time. Anyway loved the video keep up the good work stay safe and keep well everyone of the good people and godbless
I am just starting the build on a 12 by 10 foot cabin and your video has shown me a few good ideas to use in my build , I've recently finished a small 8 by 8 foot bush crafting cabin using only a hand saw/ hatchet and paracord to hold it all together. Now I want to build an actual cabin and I quite enjoy the look and design of this one that you've built . Best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada.
The only state it's illegal in is Colorado. The other states ban the LARGE SCALE collection of rainwater. So you can't build a 5 million gallon reservoir, but you can collect from the roof of a structure that's main purpose is not rainwater collection. (Home, garage, etc)
Nice cabin...i can just dream of sitting out there on that front porch under that old tin roof listening to the rain...and smelling the good fresh air...aweaome job
UNCLEDOUG HERE I BUILT MY OWN CABIN IN BOONE N.C. BACK IN 1987 IT WAYS A BEAR THE PROJECT GOT OUT OF HAND BUT I WOULD DO IT AGAIN !! YOUR LITTLE LOOKS GOOD YOU GUYS DO WELL !!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!
I love Dick's journals too. He was an amazing man. I live in Australia and we don't have the beautiful pine forest's or lovely snowing winter. One day I'll visit twin lakes hope you can too.
Butt n Pass log cabins, the easiest and strongest cabins to make. If you pull up the metal roof and use 2x6's to build a box, you can insulate, deck and put the steel roof back on and your insulation will go way up. With that size of cabin your wood burning will go way down. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes and Blessings. Keith Noneya
I would build the bathroom in doors using either a gas, electric or a self composting toilet. That would leave only gray water to deal with. Electric from solar panels, gas would be bottled and brought in and self composting is totally sanitary if done correctly...
Love the design, for many reasons. Mainly the amount of longest logs are a fraction, and coupled with a stone and clay fireplace/chimney the number of lengthy logs goes down even more. A great design for a single person to build a much bigger cabin then they would otherwise be able manage before the snow flies. The single slanted ceiling design is a brilliant layout, considering what it is used for; the bunk being placed at the lowest point in the ceiling. The only change I would make is a stone and clay fireplace, at the lowest point if the ceiling(to minimise chimney height), and the bunk would be a loft at the highest point. This will give you a few extra hours length in sleep time, possibly putting you at 8hrs, without having to fill the stove to it's max to maximise burn time. Avoiding those super hot, first few hours at bed time and just after. You stay off the ground and up in the trapped warm air near the ceiling. (Look into carbon monoxide , and venting toxic gases) Love the vid, a wonderfully designed cabin👌
@@GreatPlainsCraftsman im building one myself at the moment and I think I'll use your roof ideas if that's ok, in your video you didn't show much of the roof but there was enough to get the idea, thanks again G.P.C .Ireland.
Love the whole design ! Those overhangs are the best thing ever ! You guys did a fantastic job and should be more than proud and thanks for showing us. Thumbs up.
Agree 100% I just watched another recent video that had 4' overhangs on a pretty big house and the guy was shooting the video standing outside the house, totally dry ! Pretty cool and a good idea !

This is 12 X 14 cabin with the porch.??? Or plus the porch. How does the size you gave fit in with the porch ??.
Any insulation between logs ???. I am up in snow country just west of Flagstaff, az at 6980 ft elevation, can be 6 degrees in winter
Did you use any big spikes in the walls or anywhere else. Thankyou, I am collecting info to know about when I do my first cabin..
So 12 X 14 cabin... Plus how big is porch.. or is porch part of the cabins finish size. Thanks
all the half million dollar homes being built now, and your simple cabin outshines them all.
well done. that is absolutely beautiful!
yeah and all it takes is a 10,000$ saw mill that takes out the vast majority of the work on having to notch and scribe the logs...
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse Or a chainsaw sawmill
@@chrisw5742 plus moving the logs with a tractor.
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse Or you could winch logs like I do. With a snatch block it is not that hard.
@@chrisw5742 it is when you have to go further than 10 feet.
“The view’s not bad...”
That view is phenomenal lol
A little piece of heaven
I’m watching this the same second that Grayson Dolan is. :)
That’s a wicked Cabin
"and the views not bad" lol
What I would do to have any land with a view like that. That's a dream of mine... Great cabin and great video, sir.
This is one of the most beautiful log cabins builds that I've seen.

Thank you!
I love it I just got me a 2 bedroom upstart bedroom long cabin
Have a cup of coffee and a pot of stew in a log cabin I built the dream of mine you are living that dream sir
Thank you Frank!
It's a lovely little cabin and folks used to live in them just like that and make the best of it.
Thanks
James
icespeckledhens you're right James, thanks for watching!
100% and it would be great if we all went back to living in cabins like that one and bigger cabins
Amazing view. I would pay to sit on that porch and sip coffee.
Totally the kind of caban you see in red dead 2. There's a kind of simple, yet sturdy feel to it. Just like pioneers built. Nice one.
That is sick! I've been looking for simple log cabin ideas for years and this ones the best
Craig Gamble Thanks. It really is a simple design. Tie each course with rebar on the outside "pass" log, the but log is in the notch so it won't move. The corner's need to be level
Great Plains Craftsman thank you for the tips. Very much appreciated. Got me inspired. Gonna start collecting logs today
“The views not bad” first thing I heard and realized you are a man of virtue
“The views not bad” 😂 looks amazing man. Good job.
I appreciate that!
I wish I had the land to build a cabin on. Great job.
Mark D thank you!

You have a humbleness about you sir. I own a tree company in Va and my dream is to build a cabin with the trees we remove
I noticed what I thought was an outhouse. Brilliant and very back to basics.
tree trimmer Yes, It works!
Beautiful cabin! You should be proud for sure!
Dillons Woodworks thanks it was a fun project.

I once build a beautifully small cabin by the lake with my kids Cassie, ellie,nate ,and abby.good memories ♥

Beautiful friend… 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the roof line. It allows a higher roof over the deck. Awesome.
Green Acres Yes it does, and is easier to build.
Pretty cool brother. Some satisfying that. Good on ya. Great looking cabin
Absolutely wonderful, thank you for sharing. People like you make this world a better place
Thank you! Very kind

Thank you Lloyd! Have fun on your build
A couple of solar lights might come in handy, But a really nice cabin,and the rain barrel too .
Yes they would Rob. Thanks!
I'm thinking about building a log cabin but I gotta get a dog first, because i'm gonna need a rooogh.
Cozy place but it wouldn't be a bad idea to rig up a rainwater collector using the gutter so you have some water on tap for washing or whatever.
Good idea. Thanks for tuning in!
It’s illegal in the US
Bradley Butler I think your state has different laws than mine, because it’s perfectly legal here.
perhaps it wasnt a law that were supposed to live by.
The only state it's illegal in is Colorado. The other states ban the LARGE SCALE collection of rainwater. So you can't build a 5 million gallon reservoir, but you can collect from the roof of a structure that's main purpose is not rainwater collection. (Home, garage, etc)
Gorgeous
Nice little log cabin.
It sure is
How long to build? And how much?
Good job
Wow such a nice cabin that's already my tiny house in the Philippines thanks for sharing your video

kim kelberg Thank you so much! It is nice. Thank you for watching!
Real nice view from the little cabin
Very good craftsmanship. Awesome view. Thanks for the video.
That music in the end just hits the spot buddie❤
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Great job.
You just need a water storage facility on the downpipe, or does it run to an underground tank.
Especially like the cunning roof design!
I would build the bathroom in doors using either a gas, electric or a self composting toilet. That would leave only gray water to deal with. Electric from solar panels, gas would be bottled and brought in and self composting is totally sanitary if done correctly...
Nice! Thanks
Thats a beautiful cabin. I want to build a cabin on the back half of my property but thats after I build a house. lol. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you and good luck!
Beautiful cabin. God bless 🙏 🇺🇸
Lovely simple rustic little cabin. Dream home :-) Cozy
John Grytbakk Thanks, it turned out nice.
very nice
Beautiful and what a view!
Really nice but you should put som insulation under the roof to make it even warmer and you dont need to burn as much wood to keep the cabin warm.
Great 1st cabin...nice job!!
Eric Lathouse Thank you! It was fun.
Great Plains Craftsman ... thanks for your quick response back!
You need to do a follow up video on how to maintain the exterior and interior surfaces, thanks Tim
Ari Hendrickson Your right, have that planned when it stops raining. Thanks for watching!
That's awesome....Good job. You've got me itching to build one.
I want one!
And you should be proud of it. It's beautiful. :)
This is real nices love it good for a man cave
That's a beautiful little cabin.
Thanks!
its cool i like to have 1like thisCabin
Nice..
Dam good looking cabin. You guy did a great job for what u had
Thank you!
Beautiful beautiful cabin. I'm afraid of snakes living under the house.
If its the right species of snake youll have no mice , or rats and would likely never see the snake
I knew I was re building my chain saw for a reason. Just didn't know why till now.
Sooo jealous right now lol. Love it! :)
That's just what me & my old woman need for sure.
Thanks for taking us out with you,beautiful cabin.
Kirk North of 51 Thanks for watching.
So this is what Sam Elliott is up to these days! Nice!
That is a gorgeous cabin. Well done Sir.
Love the whole design ! Those overhangs are the best thing ever ! You guys did a fantastic job and should be more than proud and thanks for showing us. Thumbs up.
