I left the big city of Toronto to move onto 40-acres of Canadian wilderness with a magical river. I am building an off-grid homestead with multiple log cabins and structures from the timber on the land.
To all my subscribers, STRENGTH AND HONOUR! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
JAMES ALOFS
James I have been watching your channel since number one and absolutely love your channel.
I am a carpenter by trade and I must congratulate you on your building skills.
You are doing brilliantly you buy the proper toys for the job you need to build a workshop on your site to protect your tools and so you get many years years of use from them.
Ps I was a driver on Game of thrones and had the pleasure of driving your beautiful future wife back and forward from set to her hotel on many occasions.
She's a pleasure to be with.
GOOD SIR COWDEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MESSAGE IT HAS BRIGHTENED MY DAY IMMEASURABLY. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THE NEXT STEP SHOULD BE A TOOL SHED. I NOW HAVE SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF TOOLS AND THEY NEED TO BE PROPERLY PROTECTED. LASTLY, YOU DROVE SANSA STARK (MY FUTURE WIFE) WHILE GoT WAS FILMING!!! THAT IS AMAZING! THIS WAS IN BELFAST? OR WHERE WAS THE MAIN FILMING LOCALE? MAY THE GODS BLESS YOU! BOTH THE OLD GODS AND THE NEW 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲

Yes I I had the pleasure of her company often.
The last time I talked to her I was bringing her and the other three girls up to the rap party in Belfast.
The show filmed in Northern Ireland Spain Croatia and Greenland.
I absolutely love your new big boys toy your mill.
I have never seen a tool like that in Ireland.
It will open up so many more projects for you and speed up projects before the winter.
If you manage to get a workshop built before winter it will give you a great place to work over the long winter months.
I was shouting to you not to put the vapour barrier on the bottom but you didn't hear me lol

Can’t believe I have been watching a guy build a cabin in the middle of nowhere for 26 weeks! (This guy makes my Saturdays)oooggaaa booggaaa
Same. I think it's because of his personality, it's just addicting.
More like 27 or 28 wks mate, James skipped a couple of weeks due to health/personal issues 😢
Haha me too mate, every video on a Saturday night here in Australia 🤙
💯. I just rolled a joint & settled in for a good chilled Saturday morning watch 🍿

Use that bush trimmer half a day every week to keep the entire area around your tent and cabin short and that will reduce the number of mosquitos bugging you with about 80%. Then consider buying a machine called Mosquito Magnet (it works on natural gas) and in an area of about 4000 square meters around you, mosquitos will not bother you anymore. That will make life so much more comfortable during spring and summer. That's how we've always done it in the North of Sweden.
Morning James......just a suggestion in case you ever need to use that Mossy ......load a slug or 00 for the 2nd and 3rd.....and birdshot for 1st. Those #8's will do nothing but piss off a bear. It's a good warning shot.....or you can cycle it out b4 sending the two difference makers. Cheers.
Great advice. I agree. Also, that magazine should hold more than 3; check to see if someone has pre-installed a "hunter's plug".
Ya it should hold 5 I think. My bear gun has 00 and slugs. I got attacked by a wild dog and that's what prompted me to keep it at hand. The bears haven't bugged me yet.
I'm from the UK so never have to worry about this kind of stuff but it made me laugh imagining shooting a bear and all you've done is just piss it off 😂😂
Use 3" shells also and the #8 shot is good for quail or grouse but that's all
@@chapman_7265being from the mountains in Britsh Columbia, I can tell you that you don't want to piss off a bear, lol.
this has become my favorite series to look forward to every week.
Me too!
Same
facts
Use your circular saw with the blade backwards to cut the steel roof
Got to be aware if using carbide tips, can fly off at high speed. Non carbide good, not great.
Yep works like a charm for vinyl siding too.
On the topic of wind corridors, something a lot of us forest stewards do is prune a forests branches up to 6-7 feet. This has a lot of benefits for management like, fire control by removing low hanging fuel, shaded air flow, trunk mold prevention, plant growth, and pest control especially mosquitoes.
Roofer here! Why not put flashing both under and over then you can have both peace of mind and aesthetics.
Good point. Belt AND suspenders.
Counter Flashing for the win.
Better than what he is doing...
Was stood in the kitchen thinking “I wonder if Mr Alofs has posted yet”. Grabbed coffee, checked CZcams… perfect.. Just need some maple syrup now for my Wolfsmilk…. Lovely way to start my weekend here in the UK! 🇬🇧
Hey fellow uk resident. I'm on the Isle of Sanday in the North Orkney Isles. Like you I made a coffee, stopped all work and just enjoyed watching James's journey 😀. Saturdays are just the best day of the week. Strength and honour to you.
@@aaronnewson3208Unfortunately, I’m one of those south of the border folks… I live in NW England. Praise Oden, and peace be upon your clan. 😂😂
@@cuthbertdingleberry2325 I'm originally from South Devon but I'm home now.
The expression while transporting material made me laugh out loud. I come for the humor. I come for the history lessons. I come for the amazing lifestyle. I come to watch the progress. Can't wait to see where you are in a year! Love, love, love watching your videos each Saturday morning!
“ BRUSH HOG MOWER “
Now that you are having to weed wack it’s about time you look into purchasing a brush hog mower. My friend had lots of forest land and her employee used her brush hog to mow trails through it. It worked perfect.
I’m with Annette on this one. Weed whackers are fine for “finish” work but a Brush Hog does the heavy lifting. With the right equipment you will be more efficient and master the land!
I binge watched your full 25 episode this past week and I won’t apologize for it. Such great content
Just the best. From the start! Love the no intro for a few minutes, just James living his best life in the river
TIP: When using a Sawzall place the "foot" of the saw onto the material you are cutting and it will prevent the material from jumping around.
I have the attention span of a gold fish, so the fact that I watch this from start to finish, says something about this viking’s ability to create quality videos 👏
Your saw was flooded. Pull the plug out, turn upside down, pull cord & turn engine over a few times with the plug hole pointing down, dry plug off re-fit & I’ll bet it fires up. ( 30 yrs on small engines & worked at Stihl dealership)
Been watching religiously since the first episode. I feel like I've just put a roof up myself. 🤣
Well done on finally finishing the roof, and sorry about the extra work with the floor. In homesteading there is always something to do. Love your videos. ❤ from a fellow homesteader in South Africa 🇿🇦
Mama speaking here! James that ladder to the roof to cut the remainder of your paper??? Omg... did you hear me scream James.. no!!!
I hear you. I was saying "what the heck James, be careful. 😊
To cut metal roofing you use a circular saw with the blade on backwards. Cuts like butter.
and cut the panels from the underside, it gives you a flat surface for the saw over the ridges.
as a norwegian, the short doors is in many buildings across norway! in my family we have one on the mountains that is an old shepherds'hut where they spend all summer, I think it is from like 1600- ish. so the short door thing was really common after viking age too! :) love ur videos btw , so calming :) keep up the good work!
James, always put the chainsaw on the ground to start, if you drop start as you've been doing, theres a chance of getting a vapour lock which can kick the saw back into your face or body. Put on ground, hold top handle and stick the toe of your boot into the trigger guard to keep it stable.
I think that might have been me who made the homestead wife bathoom comment, although I can't have been the only one to have suggested it, but then again you might not have that many other women subscribers. Shout out to any other women who get excited about tools, workshops and building things. x
I agree with bathroom comment. I do get excited about tools, workshops and building things 😀
James. I have to admit, I shed a little tear as that last bit of black cloth fell from the roof as you trimmed it. It's another massive milestone ticked off your list. 7 months ago you had little knowledge of the tools you now confidently use with ease. Really proud of you and how far you have come in that time.
If you have time this week can you show how tall Thors Red Oak has grow? Hope you have a good catch up with the family. xxx
Edit for clarity: I review all types of roofs for a living. James should be using a "drip edge" metal flashing, not a metal cap flashing on the canopy side of the roof. Metal cap flashings "cap" the metal roof system where the system terminates like it does on the flush side. The cut angle of the canopy has not changed the fact that its still the "bottom end" of the roof and should be terminated as such. Install drip edge flashing underneath the roof panels like its the bottom of the roof. Ooga Booga!
I honestly suggest going to a sheet metal shop to bend the panels you already own to your specified measurements. They bend their cuts so they look finished and aren't razor blades when handled. The panels will be the finish look as you have to treat that detail as if it were the bottom of your roof. Vertical and horizontal parapet edges are different animals.
James! Read this guys comment your angles are a problem. Follow the water down those tracks and it's being forced under your cap and not allowed to flow off the roof. I'm sorry to say you need to redo this.
Adding that I just saw your silicon bead. That is going to help keep water out but it's still not going to be able to flow off in those last three tracks there. You may even have water sitting there not able to drain.
@@nzaccanini hate to say...but I agree...
Just to back you up here. With roof, window and door installations my train of thought is that sealant is for bugs, looks and backup. If you are relying on sealant to be waterproof, you have already lost.
It's a HUGE week... the new sawmill, finishing the roof! I just did a little happy dance for you! 😊 🎉
Duuuuuude, that sawmill will be life changing! Just remember if you cut "wet" wood that hasn't fully dried, let it dry before building with it to see if it will pick up a warp/bow/twist. That way you won't have issues with things getting wonky.
The cabin looks amazing!
Before your Game of Thrones gal will move in with you, you will have to get the driveway to the homestead. Knowing this, it would make sense to allow truck to bring supplies for the build all the way there instead of constant unload truck to load quad to unload quad to carry it in setup. If/when you do the driveway, lay down a fabric liner before any stone. Otherwise the stone will continuously sink into the soil and need to add more on top. Just a thought.
Sir James the gods have foretold there will be another metal roof in your future. Please invest in a Milwaukee nibbler. It's the most amazing tool I've ever purchased for the money. All the methods you used so far to cut the metal are either too difficult or will cause your metal to rust in the case of the circular saw. It over heats the metal making the paint fail and you lose your protection from rust. It's better to sheer metal that's already been painted, hence snips or the nibbler. As I told you before I used a nibbler with a couple M12 batteries to cover an entire cabin, walls and roof.
Use that 3 blade cutter to mulch. Instead of a sideways cutting motion, start cutting from the tops of the ferns downwards. Turns the stuff into mulch instead of leaving tons of stalks and cuttings.
Also. you use your ladders at too much of an oblique angle so that they bend and run the risk of either folding in two or slipping backward as you climb. You need to get closer to the building. BE safe!
HERE WE GOOOOO. SATURDAY MORNING BLISS WITH THE GREAT WILD HOMESTEAD!
I love seeing a man who is able to adapt to overcome adversity. Being flexible is a valuable trait for someone who will be living off the land at a homestead. Thanks for sharing!
Your future wife will thank you for the bathroom.
And the cabin is coming along very nicely.
Congratulations!
This is the greatest! I am slowly catching up; I've watched all of your videos "binge style". You are truly living my dream. Strength and honor back at ya from South Texas.
GOOD SER NICHOLAS, I AM HONOURED FOR THE “BINGE”. COMMENTS LIKE THESE KEEP ME COOL ON HOT AUGUST DAYS SUCH AS THESE. CARRY ON AND STRENGTH AND HONOUR TO YOU IN THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS! 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
LMAO at your reasoning around a shorter than average door opening 😂👍🏻
For flared gable ends we always custom bend flashings that will go flat on the roof, then bend up about 1" and then come straight down the face of the Fascia boards. Then you cut your panel about 1/2-1" back using that expanded foam to seal it. This way water hits that 1" upturn and runs down to the eaves.
Great work over all! Loving this series!
So you're capturing the edge of the roof? Like a sideways T shape? The flashing then catches the runoff and directs it downward. That seems lile a good solution.
@@btimbyindy yea it's like a sideways T, the foam closer then doesn't allow water to back up under the piece and then that ridge is low profile but directs all the run off down to the eaves. It works amazing and we have never had a call back
@@andrewhayward9539 I believe it, nice work.
I think your initial intuition about water tracking to the underside is correct that foam is really only there to divert rainwater… in the case of having water pond in triangle sections of the roof your asking a lot of the foam… I would return to the 2 inch overhang and crimp the edge so there is a drip both on the overhang and the fascia.
You might want to change-out the birdshot for 00 Buckshot to deter bears and such. Birdshot will just piss them off.
Is why my name reflect the buckshot002...LOL
I 100% agree ! 00Buck all the way buddy.
James ive got a norwood LM29. You're gonna love that saw. I've paid mine off many times over just in lumber cut. I would recommend walking as much of your woods and noting what species you have. It looks like your land has been logged quite a bit so keep that in mind before you start milling. Good forest management will yield you better timber in the future. Best time to mill is winter btw. No bugs and you will keep your logs cleaner leading to longer blade life.
Saturday morning, coffee, bacon sandwich and an hour watching the crazy man building his habit, perfect start to the weekend, that is looking all kinds of awesome now James!
Loving what you’re doing out there lad. Pro tip. Grab yourself a cordless grinder and a package of zip wheels. You can cut a car in half with one of those with a lot of finesse just remember always wear glasses.
Love your series and your journey. 🍻
Reconsider that roof. Engineer it so water sheds rather than pools. Panels should be clear to roof edge to shed properly. Any flashing should be UNDER as to not interfere with shedding.
With your current roof panel ribs, you’re going to get water shedding onto your front patio and might consider gutters along that gable area.
I would also suggest adding slugs as your last 2 or 3 shotgun shells.
Sir James - greetings and salutations to you from the UK. Wanted to say I am loving the channel. I love all things 'create and renovate', and your weekly updates are a treat, as is your natural enthusiam and optimism (although I am sure they have been tested at times!). They say that necessity is the mother of invention and your are an exemplar of that. Your 'adapt, improvise and overcome' approach is a lesson from many. I like how you share that it's OK to make a cock-up - just learn from it and do better next time. Every continued success to you Sir.
In Australia we call a Weed Whacker a Whipper Snipper! Also my wife said you’ll be devastated when your future wife take off with your Whipper Snipper. 🤣
WHIPPER SNIPPER! WHAT A BIZARRE TERM FOR IT! OZZIES! THE WEIRD COUSINS/UNCLES OF US CANADIANS! 😎😝 AND TELL YOUR WIFE MY WIFE WON’T BE STEALING ANYTHING FROM ME THANKS VERY MUCH!!!
@@wildhomestead it snips while it whips
Australia also has another product which is an attachment for the whipper snipper called the weed whacker, metal folding blades that allows it to cut through thicker undergrowth

Great video. You won’t regret fixing the vapour barrier issue. It will save you so much heartache down the road. I would suggest installing the Vapour barrier on top of the insulation and directly below the plywood. Do not install it on top of the plywood or you will end up with condensation forming on the backside of the barrier which will potentially cause mould growth.
I am a former building official in Northern Ontario and still design houses and work in engineering. If you ever have any questions I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
As always, love the videos and you are going a great job!
Quick suggestion, maybe a finish mower that you can pull behind your ATV to handle your weedeating "saves you a bit of time and energy"
Great job fixing your mistakes and staying positive James. You're going to cruise through future builds based on everything you learned here.
Be carefull with that solid Stihl blade. It can launch small rocks and stones for hunderds of yards. Breaking windows, tents or worse, your knees, lower legs or feet. Be cautious, work smart and stay safe!!
Outstanding! Grats on passing 100k Subscribers, James!!
Loving the build... bought a 12 mossberg in 74, still have it and it's been through hell and back. You mentioned you have it for self defence and then mentioned number 8 shot. Take it from this old trapper that has harvested many bear over the years, number 8 shot is for small game and not all of them. It's a poor choice for a bear, It will just piss it off and probably not even penetrate the hide at any distance, at a minimum use ssg, I would suggest slugs. Good Luck, I am enjoying the build. You are doing a quality job.
james ive watched every episode and enjoy every one ive got a tip to help cut insolation thats thick lay it down on a peace of plywood lay a 2x4 where you want to cut place your knee on the 2x4 pinching it down then simply cut it with a razor knife
I was waiting for a "I cut the starlink cable" element 😂😂
I cannot believe what I’m seeing!!!!
You are putting the roofing screws in the correct locations !
So many other CZcams channels always state “ manufacturers recommendation “ to put screws on the flat.
Not me, I always put the screws on the peaks.
Love the channel.
That saw is going to save alot of money and time thats a wicked machine!
A true homesteadwifey would cherish the thunderhole.
What a glorious episode, wolfsmilk all round 🍻 OOOOGAAA BOOOGAAA
James I would of put flashing underneath metal.Besides it looks better and will wok better.
Love your videoes man, and for that reason me and my good friend booked a trip to Norway yesterday to go live in the woods, swim in a river, and experience the nature like our Viking ancestors word!
Hey James, love your vids, a few things I've noticed. Your flashing is wrong on the flared end - water will get under it and rot your boards - mostly during frees thaw periods - better to trim that flashing and push it under the roofing material and under the membrane as well. I wouldnt attach a bath house to your cabin, moisture is your enemy your cabin will get mold in it especially in the spring/summer/fall. I'd build it away from your structure, that way you could have a separate woodstove in it for a sauna and to keep it warm, and also use it as a safety cabin in case your main cabin catches fire in the winter. Good luck!
anyone else hit like before the video even started?
Love how you learn, fail and improve all in one episode 🙏
Keep it up 😊
Just a thought-- you may consider leaving a shotgun loaded with buck shot or slugs rather than bird shot. Just depends on what you're defending yourself from. Bird shot can be very effective on 2 legged critters within the distances of a home but loses punch at range. Probably not the pick for bear.
GOOD SIR AUGUSTUS, SAGE ADVICE INDEED. IT SEEMS MANY OTHERS ARE ALSO RECOMMENDING A HOME DEFENSE PARTY MIX THAT INVOLVES BUCKSHOT OR SLUGS INSTEAD OF SMALL GAME LOADS. MAY THE GODS BLESS YOU! BOTH THE OLD GODS AND THE NEW 🫡🤝⚡️🐺🌲
So glad to see the floor reworked, I’m glad to watch someone so flexible and interested in what your commenting audience has to say 😅 really excited about the bath house extension project in future too😊
I’m a little late to watching this episode and I don’t have time to browse the comments to see if it’s been recommended.
STIHL saw issues:
1. Pull the screen (spark arrester) out of the end of the exhaust typically one screw holds these in. Then burn off the black deposit with a little torch to let that thing breathe again. This will have to be done periodically.
2. Ensure air filter is clean
3. Inspect spark plug replace or clean deposit off if necessary.
4. Always burn high octane ethanol free fuel in the small engines.
Hopefully this will save a trip to town in the future and a bill.
Glad to see you corrected the mistake on the floor construction😊
A field and bush mower would probably be a great idea if your planning on clearing a huge space and keeping it cleared
*The Mossberg 10 Gauge is a classic masterpiece of a shotgun. 👍🏻Their 12 gauges are excellent as well. I can already see your logs are slowly compressing together over time. When you had just completed the walls the gaps between logs was huge, but now you can plainly see a lot less light is penetrating between them. Your chainsaw won't start because you parised Oden, or was it Thor, once again. Thor made you forget to place joists in your floor and place the vapour barrier in the proper orientation, because he doesn't want you to complete your cabin - he wants to destroy it.*
If i was you i would start making cover fo the sawmill now , at least before you make the bathroom extention , also a tip if you have 2 chainsaws , use the one that starts then swap the spark plug ( while its still hot ) in to the one your having trouble with , then you have ruled out the sparkplug as a possible cause of the fault , i was a tree surgeon for over 16 years, PS i mentioned the log arch in the first video you got the ATV ...just saying lol
Quick tip from a landscaper, when you get thread for your weedwhacker, make sure to keep that thing submerged in water when its not in use. to make sure it doesn't dry out. keeps it strong longer 👍
Sooooo how is the water supposed to drain properly if the flashing is over the ridges of the roof sheets? It's going to pool and eventually seep in
When he decided to put the flashing under the sheet, I was like YES, then the Home Depot dude convinced him to do it the wrong way lol. James is learning and will have enough of us to guide him along the way.
This whole journey has been a delight to enjoy one by one since episode one! But this is really getting exciting now man!
6am on the dot lol cheers
I've been following you along ever since the beginning of the build of this. I can't wait to see how the porch comes out in the windows.😊
oogabooga - my boy just casually gained 100k subs
Your flashing should go under the panel. You put a strip of the expanding foam on top of the flashing once it is down. Then you lay your panel down. What you have now is a gutter that will eventually run water straight to your gable face boards. Not to mention, you will have snow and ice build up. If I could have attached pics of how it is done, I would have.
I love watching you shape your future. Thank you!
They make an attachment for the weed whacked also!! You can add handlebars and use with the strap over your shoulder and you literally just swing it back and forth, and it keeps the tool level while you swipe!!! It makes it feel like a whole new tool. Give it a try!
This ain’t the Viking age and your not gonna get raided but your gonna get tired of hitting your head every time you go through the door
Greetings from Denmark - Viking country 🪓
You sir are an inspiration. The way you just keep pushing and building without prior experience is amazing. Another thing that is nice to see is your ability to admit error and simply fixing them and then move on. An example to young and old.
I came in a bit late on your journey and now I am up to speed with episodes and have to join the club that waits impatiently for the next video.
I saw that you are home for Canada day. I visited BC with my son 2 years ago and we where in Whistler during Canada Day. So, your post brings back some nice memories.
Strength and honor and as Thor would say - OOGA BOOGA
James, since you love Game of Thrones so much, you absolutely need to check out the show The Last Kingdom. I have a feeling the main character, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, would instantly become your favorite character in any show and would instantly change the way you talk forever.
Saw mills need a concrete pad & to be covered. Don't be unprepared.
The weed wacker is awesome but try getting a cheap used lawn mower that you don't care about to clear more. Im sure you can get a push mower for under $75 in your area.
If that works then a tow behind on your atv would be a good step.
*OOGA BOOGA*
Another reason for the low doors, and swedes still do this, is so the hot air close to the ceailing doesn`t escape so much when opening the door in wintertime. Cheers oogabooga man keep on rocking!
Oooga booga brother me and my wife bout to sit down and watch as we do every week

You can't have kids with the weed whacker???? All I hear are EXCUSES!!!!! Where there is a will there is a way!
😂😂😂😂
Timberline sharpener. Look into it for your chainsaw chains. I bought one, its amazingly easy and superb grind. Been cutting firewood for decades, best sharpener ive ever used. Youll be glad you did.
My AirPod died as soon as I clicked the video 😭
Having the vegetation cut back will help keep the bugs down too. Great idea.
I was gonna mention about swapping the weed whacker to a brushcutter with a metal blade but you found out already, good job. Ooga Booga.
I am so loving yr channel that doorway looks awsome.ive been watching yr build frm the get go. Can't wait till you Finnish. Build on.
Alofs - It is important to rev a petrol weed whacker intermittently to avoid straining the motor. Running it continuously at full throttle can cause the engine to overheat and wear out faster. Intermittent revving allows the engine to cool down slightly between periods of high strain, which helps prolong its lifespan and maintain its efficiency.

James, cabin is looking great. Building in northern climate is always exciting, especially when dealing with air and moisture control - warm side vs cold side of the envelope, etc. Here in Alaska, I've always turned to the Cold Climate Housing Research Center as a definitive source in how to do it right. These guys do all their building research in Fairbanks at the University and produce great research papers and how-to instructions. Hopefully they can help in your future endeavors.
