Cutting Down Trees for Log Cabin - Axe Logging 9. 0 - One Man Traditional Log Cabin series
video description
You are doing what very very few can do, as much as we would like to emulate what you are building, we just weren't gifted like you.
What is your background in cabin building? Did you serve an apprenticeship? Your mentor /teacher did a super job.
Then the camera, setting it up then moving it, in addition to the build. WOW.
I have so many questions to ask. Like the logs you cut down, did they come from a location higher than your build site.

This is so impressive, building a log cabin all by yourself. It's amazing that you can drag those logs out of the forest all by yourself. Not many 18 year olds could do what you are doing. Will you live in the off grid cabin when it is finished? I also like the way you have made your films without any background music, so we just hear the sound of your axe on timber and the birds singing. It's very calming to watch. You are a very talented young man and your parents should be proud of you.

Good job on this project. Having pulled logs like this on the farm, I suggest an old truck fan belt. Strong enough, long enough to go around the log and loop through itself, and gives you a long handle to swing those logs like a pendulum between your legs. When you need to lift them up to peel them you can run a strong length of sapling through it to lift them onto your saw horses. Very kind to your back I found.

I really enjoy to see the technique and manual method of your work. You are incredibly knowledgeable, and I feel as though I learn a lot from watching!
If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your cut at 13: 14 time? Did you lose the hinge wood? Did you cut more to make the tree fall? Was it the weight that made the tree spin at the end? I'm sorry, but it is hard to see what happened.

Erik you get stronger as you drang each and every tree on out of the woods and the branches can be your sticks to go into the logs as screw would for holding them together. I am old and wise like your Great Grandma but am looking forwarder to doing another cabin maybe get the logs done for who ever puts it together. Only takes 15 minutes to debark a log if wet or moist!

Please make sure you avoid cutting trees as much as possible and grow
plants at least 10 plants to 1 tree used, more than 10 is even better.
We have already seen forests under fire and we couldn't do anything
about it. Please don't consider trees as just woods

Yep, you don't need a gym card! It's always been the same with my husband. woods work keeps his muscles in shape. If he is not cutting down a large tree, it is fine to lift the log up and down a couple of times so that the job is not too easy.

All due respect here but why not make two tripods with pulleys to lift those logs? $60 for a pulley and rope set up, what is a back worth in todays market?

Watching you bring the logs down 10 per pull must have been a really tiresome job. Well done Sir, makes your determination that much more admirable.

How are the regulations in Sweden about cutting tree's? Do you have to follow a course or is there a maximum you may cut down?

I've always said that cutting down a tree with an axe is just too fast paced and what it really needs is slow motion.
