Just finished making the bed for the log cabin. The video is out now on YouTube. Everything is handmade from natural materials . The mattress is 100% Swedish wool made by Sandra that I got the pleasure to visit. Everything even down to the threads in the stitches are handmade from natural h**p thread. A one of a kind craft here in Sweden that Sandra does by hand!

Special thank you to for editing the photos and the YouTube video!

To cover my roof, I decided to use bitumen roof shingles, this is a good option for those who decide to cover the roof alone, as it does not require much effort. Now that the roof is ready, I can move on to building inside the log Cabin. In the near future I will start making doors and windows, and then I will start insulating the walls and roof. By winter, I plan to finish the sauna, shower room and a small relaxation room and start new construction. 🏠😀

Thank you all for your support! I hope you are all right. And thank you for all the love on my previous post! I’m still reading and answering your beautiful comments 😉

My off grid sauna quickly transforming into a comfortable place for recreation and cooking. To build the walls and ceilings of the sauna, shower and recreation room, I use unedged boards prepared in the summer. I am also installing a sliding door mechanism for the shower room.
Given the cold winter temperatures, the temperature inside the log cabin always remained above freezing. Using a portable power station, I provided light using 10 energy-saving 5-watt light bulbs, this allowed me to work until late at night.
When the walls for the shower and sauna were ready, I began to arrange the recreation room, where I will spend a lot of time while I build my real big house. The most important job was installing a homemade stove for my sauna. It was not easy to do this yourself, since the weight of the stove is more than 100 kg. Having installed the stove in place, I began to line it with refractory bricks, and to give it an attractive appearance, I covered it with stones that I collected in the forest. With the help of the design of the stove, heat will also flow into other rooms, this will allow heating not only the sauna, but the entire house.
At the entrance I hang a coat rack where I can store my clothes, on the front wall of the recreation room I hang a shelf for pottery. I thought for a long time about how to install the table, since it would take up a lot of space, so I decided to make a folding table. Also, using the board that was left over after installing the walls, I made bedside tables and shelves for things. After finishing all the work, I hung the deerskin over the fireplace.
In the near future I plan to make a folding ladder to the attic and make the attic a full-fledged place for sleeping.

Hi everyone!
I am continuing to build my own log cabin (on my forest plot), which will later serve as a sauna, shower room and a small room where I can relax, while building my real big house for me and my family. At the beginning of the video, I needed to make a wooden hammer to fasten the timber, after which I started drilling holes to fasten the wall. For this I use a 28mm wood drill bit and a birch wood wedge. To insulate the wall, I use a natural linen insulation.
This week seemed very hot, it was hard to work in such weather. Also, insects are very annoying, so I have to start a fire and keep it going throughout the day . Due to hot weather and drought, vegetables and fruit trees have to be watered twice as often, because of this there is a big shortage of water, because there has been no rain lately either. I have to carry water from the nearest lake, which is 800 meters from my site. I started thinking about digging a well, I think it would be a good idea, because the issue of water supply will be gone forever.
The walls are being built slowly but surely. I had to come up with a mechanism for lifting a log to a log house, since it is becoming increasingly difficult to do it manually. I pulled the cable and installed a winch that allows me to lift the weight up to 1 ton.
This saves a lot of effort and energy, so building walls will become a little easier.

In this edition, I will share the process of making a burger on my barbecue table in a remote and wild forest. My goal is to learn how to survive in a log cabin in the forest with the food that nature provides. Therefore, in the next series I will start collecting birch sap and making birch syrup, since spring has already come. Today the temperature has risen to +20 degrees. Also, a tree fell near my hut, which caught on another tree, and at any moment it could fall on the hut, so I had to throw it myself, which was very dangerous.
I have been wanting a dog for a long time, but I don’t know what breed is suitable for traveling. I would love your advice in the comments.
Thank you for watching.
