All these windows for under $1000 dollars. Trustin Timber 2023-12-31 | So, here we are.Lower-level windows are in, and the fireplace is roaring. This feels surreal. A lot of you assume I'm a professional cabin builder. But I'm just a kid with a dream, and now I'm sitting inside of it typing this. Huge shout out to my sponsor, NICKS. In this episode, I'm wearing the Ridgeline Moc Toe, but honestly, all of their boots are great. Check out Nicks here: bit.ly/422oZ8N It's incredible what a wood-burning stove can do to the atmosphere of a cabin. It gives warmth, yeah, but it's so much more. It's a feeling of comfort, security, and company when I'm out here alone. It's also pretty darn nice to have hot water on demand and a stove top to cook on.Always happy to chat in the comments, so let me know if you have any questions or want to say hi.TTinstagram.com/trustintimbertrustintimberproductions.com

Timber to Toolshed: Turning Trees into a Remote Storage Shed Trustin Timber 2023-08-31 | Please NOTE:These trees were planted on private property on a 6’x6’ grid as an oxygen-producing carbon sink. When the trees grow bigger they need more space to grow so we thin about half of them out as the years go on. If we don’t they stop growing, start to die, and are more susceptible to diseases and beetle infestation. It becomes a bush, we are making a forest with big healthy trees. By thinning a new diverse plant life and a variety of trees can grow making a better habitat for animals and a more natural forest. The remaining trees grow even bigger, produce more oxygen and hold more carbon. I’m building with the bi-product of proper woodlot management and storing the carbon in my cabin meanwhile making a healthier more diverse forest for both trees and animals. I’m trying to use solar / battery energy as much as possible and often sleep out here to reduce gas use. I'm pretty confident I’m actually having a positive impact on the environment. Very few builders of any kind can claim that.

My apologies.*If closed captions are on you can turn them off by clicking CC at the bottom. Hi folks,First off I'd like to thank U2 Fasteners for sponsoring this video. I really don't get enough views to justify the time it takes to put these videos together so these sponsorships truly buy me the time to get this stuff edited and uploaded for you. More about U2 Fasteners is below. If you are looking for my wife's YouTube channel you can check that out here.youtube.com/c/thetimberlifeThe video she mentions at the end is here.youtube.com/watch?v=8r90n-w1_xIHere are a few timestamps in case you want to skip ahead to specific points in the video. 0:00 This one starts out with some milling of my ridge pole and sill logs using my Granberg International Mills. I generally try to mill a month or so in advance of installation so they have a bit of time to dry. This makes them much lighter even though they are far from completely dry. 2:14 I explain and mill my doorposts.8:46 I prep and install what I'm calling the third sill and screw it down with 10" and 12" 3/8 U2 Fasteners.23:31 I get working on the door frame and have a friend come to help, but mostly drink beer, tell stories and share some laughs. 27:19 We load in some milled floorboards.29:44 Cutting and installing the door frame posts.40:58 My wife and daughter come out to see the progress and we cook lunch.This video was sponsored by U2 Fasteners.

I sure made the most of those years but something was calling me back to a simpler life. So in 2013 we moved from the big city and bought a little cabin in the woods as our permanent home. This decision really changed the course of our life. Living along a flowing river full of trout, surrounded by a canopy of the old-growth forest has taught us the values of living within nature. But, like all good things you always want more. For now, we intend to keep this little slice of heaven but are looking to set up another home base a little further north. Since we’re looking for land that has both a freshwater source and plenty of acres to explore, protect, and manage, we’re expecting to have to pay a fair fee and know we’ll need to put most of our financial resources into the land itself. We also want to design a life that allows us to live a debt-free life to avoid financial stress and worry that often prevents people from properly considering environmental factors in their home building decisions. When even the cheapest mass-produced house is beyond the reach of most, concerns about quality and environment are often pushed aside. This project is going to explore traditional building methods that have environmental concerns at the forefront.Although it is a little disturbing to see how many trees it takes to make a small cabin I know they have been sustainably harvested from a planted woodlot and I feel so fortunate that my cabin project won’t contribute to the deforestation of the old growth of the great Canadian wildness that I love exploring. All the trees we are using were planted around the 1980s. At the rate of tree growth, and the size of the woodlot, if managed properly there would be trees for many many generations of cabin builders. My goal is to self harvest 100% of the logs used in this cabin not only reducing deforestation but also reducing environmental impact with the reduced transportation costs, and manufacturing of synthetic materials.The cabin has been designed in a way that it can be completely dismantled and transported. While we build we are looking for the perfect piece of land to move our cabin.

EP15: Answering Your Questions Trustin Timber 2021-07-13 | Like most summers I find it difficult to restrain from canoe tripping. All my goals and ambitions seem to take a back burner for a few months while I get lost exploring the Great Canadian Wilderness. However, this summer we've got a new objective for our canoe tripping which is finding the perfect place to rest our cabin. As I explain in this video, the cabin we are building has been designed to be transported to a remote wilderness location.

EP13: Inside my 30 foot long cabin building shelter. Bonus Episode! Trustin Timber 2021-06-15 | This is just a little filler video between cabin-building episodes. Let me know if you like these and want me to keep shooting the weekends or just compile the best footage into epic cabin-building videos. I know some of you will find sleeping under the stars boring but others love the peaceful pace of these slower videos. I'm doing my best to give you the full experience of this project.

EP12: Overnight Camp, Cook & Cabin Build // Posts Go Up! Trustin Timber 2021-06-08 | #CabinBuild, #LogCabin, #CabinInTheWoodsIn this video, my wife Caitlin and I start putting up our cabin posts. The cabin will be a post and beam style made with 100% self-harvest logs. Common Questions:Q: Aren't your foundation posts going to rot?A: This is a temporary building platform to dry-fit the cabin. It will be dismantled and moved.Q: Why are you burning the logs?A: The logs leak sticky sap and therefore collect dirt and rocks that will dull my tools. Some of the fresh logs have soft sap that also gets on my hands, clothes and tools. I'm burning it off now so thatthe logs are more enjoyable to work with and will also be much easier to sand before I stain them. Sappy logs clog up the sandpaper.

EP11: Our Biggest Cabin Logs Go Into Place Trustin Timber 2021-05-25 | #CabinBuild, #LogCabin, #CabinInTheWoodsIn the 1980s 60,000 trees were planted on private property as an oxygen producing and carbon sync environmental initiative. The trees are planted very close together to produce as much oxygen as possible and this also ensures the trees grow tall and straight for their eventual harvest.Over time as the trees grow bigger, they need more space. I was asked to thin out the crooked and weak to give more room to the big and straight trees. With permission, I started putting the byproduct of my thinning to creative uses. I made a shelter, then a tree fort, and eventually a camping platform.This series is the next chapter in my tree to structure series.

EP09: Why I disappeared for 4 months. Trustin Timber 2021-05-11 | Happy TIMBER TUESDAY!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. As for the 4-month break, I took off posting. People keep telling me I’m going to lose subscribers and no one will watch these videos if I’m not consistent but I’d rather produce quality over quantity and the last few months have been pretty repetitive. We’ve just been harvesting more logs for the cabin. We now have 160 logs. If we were to put them all in a line that would be more than 4 football fields. That’s a lot of bark to peel and not all that exciting to watch. Anyway, for those of you that are here watching, please let me know how you found out I uploaded again. I’m curious to understand how people find these videos. 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.It’s going to be a jam-packed summer of cabin building and we have some other exciting news to share with you soon so stay tuned.

EP08: Waking up in a snow storm in a tarp shelter with my wife Trustin Timber 2020-12-08 | Please note, we are only cutting trees on a private woodlot that is being managed for a lumber resource and an oxygen producing carbon sink. This is a very environmentally friendly way to build a home or cabin. The trees grow and store carbon, and then we cut them to hold the carbon and build with them storing that carbon for centuries. Meanwhile new trees grow in their place producing clean oxygen and storing more carbon. The cycle produces a healthy forest and is extremely environmentally friendly.This video is proudly supported by Jackery. We are really loving our Jackery explorer pack and solar panels.

EP07: Platform From 100% Self Harvested Lumber // Cabin Build: EP07 Trustin Timber 2020-10-20 | In this video, I finish up the Cabin Platform using 100% self harvest lumber.I put a coat of stain on it to protect it for the winter as well as get a good visual reference to make sure this is the colour I want to go with for the full cabin. The original colour I picked was called Maple 23 but after doing a few test boards I felt it was to peach but I already had three cans. So I decided to put my art school colour theory to work and mixed up my own custom colour combination using the Maple m23 mixed with Wheat 44 and a Sahara 10. I love the colour I mixed up here, it feels so fresh you wish it had a smell and it does, fresh-cut pine.This film is part of my cabin build playlist.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKTR4hJgVJA7yQEhNbK99XojHPSDm0Q8vThe finish is a Sansin SDFhttp://www.sansin.comHardware is U2 Fastenershttp://www.u2fasteners.comThe boards were milled using Granberg Alaskan Mills from Granberg InternationalGRANBERG Alaskan Mark-IV Chainsaw Millamzn.to/359fbypMy favorite mill for small logsamzn.to/35dLHiPEdging Millamzn.to/3fP9Ik9I used a Honda 2200i Generatoramzn.to/35eoSLUTrustin Timber is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.Music by Tellingbeatzzwww.tellingbeatzz.comSay hi on Instagram: Trustin TimberCheck out our adventure channel: youtube.com/c/thetimberlifeOur Production Company Website:trustintimberproductions.com
