Well at least we wont make that mistake again.
After landing at the airport,
we had 3 hours to retrieve bags
buy food, and get additional tools.
Eventually, the seemingly only
taxi in the city arrived.
Pressed for time and conscious of the bush plane’s
weight restrictions, we purposefully decided
against a chainsaw, and accidentally shorted
ourselves of vital food supplies.
We had filled large and medium sized bags
with food thinking it would be enough...
It was not.
This is our story.
Aug03. Landed at lake. Realized extent of mosquitoes. Began rucking the 400lbs of gear to property. Only made it 1 mile due to difficult marsh terrain and unmarked/ overgrown trails.
Aug04. Re-cut old trail towards property (0.5 mile). Made camp and marked out a spot for the cabin.
Aug05. Rucked back to lake and filled our 5 gal containers with water. Light rain. Began clearing land of small brush.
Aug06. Heavy rain. Cleared large trees from site. Made hammers, tool shed, bench.
Aug07. Began falling trees for footers. Dug holes and burned logs for longevity.
Aug08. Slept in due to rain. We placed first base log, however it wasn't level so we'll have to redo longer footers tomorrow.
Aug09. Re-did footers. Fell more base logs.
Aug10. All 4 base logs are on. We realized that we'll have to get much smaller logs now. Moving the last log 100ft took 2 hours, and our energy is already low. Food rationing has started.
Aug11. We both hit the wall today and had to stop working. Bushwhacked to lake. Wade fishing. No luck. Found canoe for tomorrow however.
Aug12. Canoe fishing. Caught 5 pike. Found Lingonberries. Good day.
Aug13-16. Notching and placing wall logs.
Aug17. Halfway! Water ruck and fishing. No fish. Down to 800cal per day.
Aug18-22. Finished walls. Finally
Aug23. Fishing today. 3 pike. More berries. Great nap.
Aug24. Awoke to the howling of wolves this morning. Placed side roof walls. Fell more trees for running beams. Down to 4~600cal per day.
Aug25. Awoken by hunger this morning. Dreamed of Cookies. Secured side walls with trusses.
Aug26. Best day of the trip so far. Good progress on the roof. Spam Friday. Sat around fire with music and coffee.
Aug27. Placed ridge beams on cabin. Realized lack of nails will be an issue. "X" braced roof.
Aug28. Couldn't sleep well from hunger last night. Secured tarps and pine branches to the roof.
Aug29. Hardest day. Heavy rain last night. Water bucket fell over. Cutting and placing moss from 0.2 miles away was brutal. Then that afternoon we had to trek to the lake for water.
Aug30. Time has come to a standstill these final days. Finished mossing the roof while Cody worked on the door. Got a squirrel today too. Ate bones and all.
Aug31. Our bodies crave fats. All our thoughts are of food. Secured cabin base with logs.
Sep01. Clayed the base and finished the door. Placed flag pole and raised the colors. Its done.
Sep02. Took down flags. Packed up camp. Secured the door. Rucked out with a quarter of the gear we came in with. Flew out. Ate till we puked.
Thank you so much for watching. We plan to go back next fall and finish the rest of it.

I did this 20 years ago. I used chainsaws cuz I wasn't that tough. Still don't pay property tax cuz my place was built from beetle kill spruce. Alaska still respects homesteaders. I drive 30 miles into town everyday so I can work and contribute back to society. Tough keeping up on chores, but the old men tell me it has kept me out of trouble. 20 years no locks on my doors.

It's all Federally Owned Undeveloped Land. You can technically buy cheap land in Alaska. Or you just build out in the sticks. No one us going to bother you. Thousands of Acres with no one around. How do you think the West was settled? It was basically first come first serve. The land is yours, but you have ro develop it. I mean what the hell is the Federal Government going to do with some land hundreds miles away from any sort of if civilization? The Government makes more revenue when people develop the Land. Gotta attract people there some way.

as a 53-year-old carpenter from Ontario. I built my first cabin at 12 years old, by myself, in my local woods. The cabin was 18' x 12', flat roof, covered with 30" x 30" tin...supplied by my grandpa. Did it all with one of my dad's splitting axes.The cabin was made from eight to ten-inch diameter white cedar. I am enjoying this adventure thoroughly

@@markymarc37 Yeah we did. 57 years old. Made a crossbow at 12, from first principles, i.e. we had no such thing as tutorials, I had seen crossbows in comic books. The first one could drive the dowel arrow with six inch nail tip through a inch pine board. The trigger was SUPER touchy, asked an uncle what I was doing wrong. He said "Ummm, the answer is making a crossbow and firing it in the town without training. Come with me" and gave me better gear, and some books, and firm instructions not to shoot anywhere except where there was a backdrop* . He also showed me how to repurpose household things, which was a revelation. You can make an AWESOME trigger from a cupboard catch. * This worked fine, until it didn't.

I've been in construction for 25 years and that was a hell of a lot of work guys. Nicely done. Grab yourself a Vaughn 19oz curved handle califoria framer hammer. Cheap, well made, ergonomically silky and powerful. Field test handle like any wood handled tool before taking it into the bush but I have never had one break. Claw doubles as a pickaroon.

@@swervsplatt9672 Stiletto handles usually fail if you work them hard. Most pro's use a separate hammer for pulling nails/demo if they run a Stiletto. They are alright for repetitive smaller nail application but not much else. Vaughn 19oz curved wood handle cali framer is best all around hammer I have ever found and I have tried pretty much all of them. Only one that beats it is an Estwing solid steel framer, which are basically invincible, but handle design lacks that comfortable end grip, wrist flick crazy power that long curved wood handles deliver. -Rehandled Stiletto-not bad but overrated, still takes an extra swing or two compared to others. -Vaughn 19oz cali framer-Best all around. -Estwing 28oz solid steel framer-Thor's hammer that makes nails, thumb tips and knee caps vanish with one swing. Just leave the 30oz on the rack. They are to powerful.

@@bryanabingart7362 Happy to help and hope you put it to work. They feel a little slippery when new because of handle coating, like most wood handled tools, which quickly fades in normal construction use but you can also do this yourself with a little razor scraping, light sanding and boiled linseed oil treatment. Plenty of tutorials on here to check out and enjoyable to do and make it your own. Again, it is a wood handle and everyone is unique so go power swing it into a 2x4 scrap or something as hard as you can a few times so there are no doubts and it's tested and approved. Than tune the handle up. Vaughan has never let me down but I have had other brands break or heads become lose after this simple test. Than go build that cabin!

@@bryanabingart7362 I was responding to the original guys comment. I never said to use power tools.. if you want to break a wooden handle out in the bush by all means go off. He even recommends to field test them because this is an issue. It's the same company and the same tool just slightly evolved to deal with the obvious issues. Feel free to figure it out on your own new guy 🤣 I own multiple of each fyi. Too funny. Imagine thinking a fiberglass hammer is a "tech" or easy answer. Dudes arent even building the handles in the bush like people would back in the day. You dont even know how to talk yo smack right
@69jbr69
@69jbr69 Рік тому
@@chompers11 Nah, fiberglass is good but in no way superior. Most pro's still prefer solid metal or wood handles and know how to pick ones with preferable grain and test them anyways just in case. Glass is good for repetitive light hitting or heavy shaft splitting mauls/shovels but work it hard with leverage and it will fiber out and turn into a broom. Hell, even miss the nail or wood you're splitting a few times and hit the neck and it will fiber out. I've broke more fiberglass handles than I can remember usually pulling nails and even saw a guy take a hammer head to the face 30 ft away off one of those glass handle grenades when head let loose. I've never used one since I saw that. Plus I work where it can get down to -30. When it's that cold glass hammer handles can simply shatter from minimal use. Wood handles aren't outdated, they are the universal standard proven by 1000's of years of use.

I'm 61 and on disability myself. Latley I've put a lot of time into exploring gold prospecting and gold mining, which I did my fair share of when I was much younger... I've always been lured and attracted to gold, ever since i got gold fever when i was about 26 living in Northern Cali, in a lttle town called Quincy in Plumas county, on the 3 forks of the feather rivers and many other tributaries, like Spanish creek, Nelson creek, and so many other little creeks bearing gold, all within a stones throw distance in between... I wonder if I can find enough gumption to get after it while I'm still able... not exactly capable of doing everything myself, involved in dropping a shaft, or punching a drift, but I have the spirit... just need to find the right opportunity and perhaps like minded souls that wanna make one last stride to fulfill a dream before getting entirely too old! and wasted away...Btw... I love this video fellas, and the get er done enginuity these fellas display... I totally dig the whole building a beautiful shelter, let alone a sturdy cabin... it is not much different from building a gold mine shaft and drift. This is how the generations before us forged thier ways though the thick of it... it wasn't easy back then, nor is it now, if your not loaded and wealthy. For those of us that weren't born with silver spoons in our mouths, or hanging out our asses,... in order to make it. You pretty much have to be able to carve out your way, and be tougher than nails! You hear these guys wishing they had more nails. Old timers also faced these kind of trials and tribulations... you can only carry so many nails, and tools... the more, the merrier, but there will always be times that you've got to do what you can with what you've got to work with. No matter the circumstances! It is always the the ones at the end of the trail, that took and worked with what they had to work with, and somehow perciveered and won the day... either by making wooden nails... aka... Dowels, or perhaps they knew duck tailing, or any other number of skills that the pioneers of the past presented at the time to move the rest of us forward... Thank God for them! The people that through the ages contributed to making life better for themselves, and then later... all the rest of us who learned from thier knowledge, and even better... thier failures and mistakes. That's what progress looks like. Not everyone is going to be perfect, and make the right decision every time. We learn from mistakes and failures just as much as we learn from success and perfection. Trial and error, is most important, as it guides us away from doom, and despair, and into the light as we do the best we can with what we have to work with... it's not always the the ones that have the best, and the most, and all the money in the world to explore and pay thier way to success! It's the broken back, broke dick mutherhumpers that were tougher than nails, that with thier blood, sweat and tears... found a way, no matter what because, thier lives depended on it. God bless all those who busted and ass to get the project moving forward. I tip my hat, and my glass to all of you. Cheers!

We hope this is the beginning of a series and you go back and finish the cabin or perhaps you can pass the torch to someone. Fantastic job! Hoping to see more of this journey. Respect for yours guts, even though you were stuck there, and seeing it through and keeping a stiff upper lip.

@teaCupkk
@teaCupkk Рік тому
Proenneke would probably shake his head in disbelief and disapproval. If their idea of escaping city life was to rush a cabin build against a one month deadline, while not enjoying any of it and starving - they sure succeeded. Sounds to me like the premise of your average reality TV show. My guess is that sorry excuse for a cabin will never be inhabited. Because that is contingent on these boys making it as "off grid youtubers", and they're terrible at it. Their dreams will cave in similar to the way that roof is caving in right around now, as tons of snow are compacting on top of that tarp and a couple of twigs.
