I first started watching this young man when he went off grid and was trapping wolves and coyotes.

His youthful language is hard to listen to, but his ability to figure out how to do things on his own and sticking to his goals is impressive. Living alone in a cabin and a work shed he fashioned for a couple years, then at 21 years old he changed directions to taking on the ambitious task of building his log home.
Today he summarized in a year of building with a video that shows the results of how his log cabin is shaping up. Building it on wood piers to someday be moved to a home site. Thought our FF members might enjoy his selection of trees, turning the trees into peeled logs, marking the logs to fit, and with mainly hand labor shaping these logs into his log home. Pretty impressive for a 23 year old young man. I think his grandfather has loaned him a farm tractor to move logs. Turn the sound off, as he is not FF acceptable (IMO).
