This is the third installment of the log home building series. In this episode I finish the remaining walls and build the door frame.
Thank you to everyone who watches.

FAQ is below, but feel free to ask me any questions you have in the comments below.

FAQ:

Where does this video take place?
Alberta, Canada. I am building this log home on a plot of private land I have permission to be on. The location is about an hour drive from any developed area. The hike to get to my log home is about 6 km.

Are there dangerous animals in this area?
Yes. This area is home to black bears, grizzly bears, wolves, cougars, and coyotes.

Do I carry anything to protect myself from these dangerous animals?
No. In the summer months I carry bear spray, but in the winter the spray would freeze.

What were the sounds at night?
Wolves. A nearby pack of wolves began howling while I was getting ready to go to sleep.

Was I scared or worried?
No, the howls were locating howls (used to communicate between the wolves). They weren’t being aggressive or moving closer to my location, so I was happy to sit and listen to them without any sense of worry.

What kind of tarp do I use?
It’s a homemade waxed cloth tarp measuring 6′ X 6′. It’s a small tarp, but it does the trick. I plan to make a new one soon that is a bit bigger. I will film the process and make a video on it.

What hatchet, saw, and knife do I use?
Hatchet – unknown (it was bought at an antique store for 8$ and it has no makers mark).
Saw – Bahco 21″ peg tooth saw blade. Wood frame is made by me. I have a video on how I made the saw, here’s the link: https://youtu.be/HKQ23GfCH44
Knife – Helle Sigmund

How cold was it on this trip?
Not very cold. During the first day it was 5 degrees Celsius. Over night the temperature dropped to -10 degrees Celsius.

What is my sleeping setup?
Two queen sized 100% wool blankets, a foam insulating sleep pad, and a rubberized ground sheet.

Why do I cut down trees?
All the trees I cut down were dead-standing. Dead-standing trees are usually quite dry, which is desirable for building material and firewood. Cutting down these dead trees does not negatively impact the environment; it actually promotes new growth within the forest.

How big is the log home I am building?
It measures about 8′ x 8′ at the base, and the peak is about 10 feet or so off of the ground. This size will allow me to have a bed inside, along with a fire to stay warm.
