I install the top course of logs on two sides of the off grid log cabin, including the heaviest logs yet, and then move the woodstove to the final location in the cabin where it will not be in the way as I finish the last two walls. It was a harsh February, with temperatures well below average, above average snowfall and once a week, high temperatures with rain and freezing rain followed by flash freezes.

In the first snowfall of the year, I continue building another log cabin alone in the Canadian wilderness, an off grid sauna, bathhouse building that I need to get done before the snow really starts accumulating. I explain how I'm using the log scribe and some other log building tools and I carve a new wooden mallet out of hard maple. I don't make any new meals but I do show how my deer (venison) heart stew turned out. Before bed, I make popcorn on the woodstove. Check out my YouTube channels fo

I'm finishing the root cellar one section at at time - this week I install a floor in the breezeway section, move the freezer back into place and set up a metal rack to store mason jars full of preserved and dried food. On the new wood cookstove, I make moose and lasagna sandwiches with fresh homemade sourdough bread.

From the first tree cut to the top of the log cabin walls. I like to be organized and plan things in advance, but this cabin build was so organic that I couldn't plan ahead, instead changing directions repeatedly. Looking back at the year on video, I remember every minute of the build and the challenges I had to overcome each and every day. Several times, I had no idea where I would find the materials, the tools or the time, but the answer was always there somewhere. | My Self Reliance
