EP09: Why I disappeared for 4 months.

I hesitated to make this video because although I believe self-harvesting your own lumber is the most environmentally responsible thing one can do the images of cutting down trees still don't seem very positive in my mind and many others. And... my process for felling trees is wrong according to the books. My wedge cut is too big, I cut too low, I don’t use a wedge.... so I don’t want to demonstrate the unsafe technique, but if this is going to be a truthful documentation of how I built this cabin I should show my actual process. In my situation, in my forest with a heavy canopy where the trees are all tangled up top, and after felling a few hundred trees of this size this is what works for me.

Anyway, all that to say TIMBER!!!!!
Timber Tuesdays are back.

Cabin build is underway and I'll do my best to get weekly videos up here following along on the process.

The Mission of this channel is to;
Learn from those that I can.
Teach those I can.
And to inspire others to build with their own hands.
