So much I could say about this -- I'll just let the video speak for itself. It's beautiful. The funny thing is, this is how people lived 150-200 years ago. Note the video is 1 hr and 31 minutes.
Description:
One man leaves the city life behind to build a cheap off grid log cabin and homestead in the Canadian wilderness, including a log home, an outdoor kitchen, an outhouse, a woodshed and a sauna bathhouse. Building mostly with hand tools, Shawn James harvests building materials from the forests north of Toronto, Canada and crafts them into functional tools and shelters using traditional woodworking tools and methods. He practices bush craft and survival skills every day, including fire starting, tree identification and harvesting, wild edible foraging, fishing, hunting, camping in the summer and winter, traveling by canoe and snowshoe, navigation and water collection and purification.
