I find it somehow extremely interesting, that the only words he has spoken through the entire series so far, are to the fire as he pleads with it to continue burning.

My father was a master carpenter...and he would have been AMAZED at what a beautiful cabin you built, your precision with an axe and the entire way you went about it. He was a man who handled tools the very same way, it was incredible to watch him build something on his land that I'd not seen because he did huge commercial construction jobs so to finally get to witness his talent was such a gift....and Erik has so much of what it takes to be the absolute master of builders. Great job for such a young man.

Erik you are an exceptional young man . I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you build this cabin . You are a true craftsman .

My father built a log cabin in the mountains of SE Australia, for his father, in the 1930s. It was nowhere as grand or well made as Erik's fine cabin, but it did the job. My brother and I rebuilt it with hand tools and logs from the eucalyptus forest in the early 1960s when we were university students. Over the years other cabins have been added as our families grew; five generations of our family have now visited the huts, for almost 100 years. They are more simply constructed than Erick's cabin as Australian forests are mostly hardwood and not as easily to work by hand as the Swedish conifer forrest. That said, Erik odyssey is a magnificent one and he has my utmost respect. Few young men have the drive, imagination and respect for the land and the old times as he seems to have. Well done Erik!

seeing you slip the newspaper article under the flooring gave me goosebumps. you're a legend!

Can hardly wait to see more! GREAT JOB!!!

Greetings from Finland. I really enjoy videos which relate to traditional woodworking. Here in the Nordics our forefathers truly were master woodworkers and most of the time they used little more than an axe and a knife. I love how you also seem to use your axe whenever possible in favor of more modern tools.

Beautiful Erik... You fill my heart with admiration and joy. Thank you for inviting us into your precious world. Peace.

I'm Brazilian, I've been following your construction since the beginning, it's helping me a lot during the pandemic.

I’m new to your videos but I can see that the skill set you have is Grandfather taught.What a gift you have and I can’t even imagine your grandfathers incredible ability.Just beautiful to watch your precision and skill.

Eric brings new meaning to; if it don’t fit force it! Love the floor, I would love to smell the inside of your cabin, I also love the barn, the animals have a very nice place to stay out of the weather. Your pup is coming along nice also, he is a beautiful dog.

The sounds of this video really so relaxing 😔

The skills used to do what you have done are sadly lost to most of us. Woodlore is something I think all of us should know and learn and pass on like your forefathers before you. This planet is such a precious gift and if more of us took a minute, took a breath and saw what we have right in front of us, the world would be a better place for it. What a crying shame we continue to ignore this and lose so many beautiful things in the process. Bless you for showing us what we should value and appreciate because you definitely are living your best life. 👏

Not only do I enjoy watching the build of your spectacular cabin, you're capture of the nature around you is stunning. I find your videos extremely relaxing.

I think when he started building the cabin he was doing all this for the first time. He definitely seemed less confident back then as well. But his carpentry skill seems to reflect years of experience. I've been doing it for a few years and I'm envious of his capabilities. He's either a virtuoso learner or must have trained under a skilled craftsman.

at 8:40 you helped your dog in to hang out with you, and I knew right there you were a really good person, you even give him blocks of wood to chew. Love from Wisconsin.

Sweden has the freedom to roam enshrined in its constitution, meaning you can go anywhere, except for what's deemed the "personal zone" next to a house (the personal zone can be up to 70 m/230 ft around, so good for keeping your actual house and front yard private). You can go anywhere, forage respectfully (anywhere that's not obviously cultivated), have access to any body of water to fish or swim... and it means a lot of Swedish kids are given the opportunities to spend enough time in the wild to actually learn skills like these. Because when you can run free in the woods and build play huts with your friends, at some point, building your own cabin just becomes the next logical step. I wish the US had more laws like it, rather than focusing on the one individual's right to tell everyone else to buzz off. It made me really sad when I moved here, that the access to nature is made into a privilege rather than a right. And it's not a diss on the US, btw, just an observation on how laws shape the world.

You will have gaps between floor planks when they shrink. They will shrink for years. In the summer they have the biggest moisture and width.

I Love how you remembered to put the time capsule news paper under the floor. Really good video Erik . Thanks for posting.

It was really nice seeing you lay that wooden floor. It makes the cabin kind of inhabitable from now on. It really hit the spot. (my best translation of "pricken över i" so far ;)). I usually also pick the berries and mushrooms the forest offers; that's a favour of the nature. Unfortunately I live in Älvkarleby, northern Uppland where the downfall of cesium from the Tjernobyl "accident" was among the worst in Sweden. Considering the first half life of cesium is well passed due I eat small portions two or three times a year. I also boil them throwing away that first water before frying them. Calculating the risks compared to e.g. air plane crews, x-ray personell and others, eating it two or three times a year should make no difference at all. The lingon-berries and blueberries are fine though. They don't mistake the cesium for being one of the elements they need as much as the mushrooms seem to do.

Came straight from a Gregorian Chant video in a beautiful cathedral to this…not an interruption of peace. Thanks for all your hard work in creating videos like this. God bless.

Perfect video Erik! This is the true essence of manhood. This is the perfect archetype of the European man, which should be preserved for future generations. Transformation of a young boy into an adult man. By own forces, with his hands, he cuts down the trees from which he builds his own house. In which he will certainly live contentedly and for a long time and will tell his grandchildren about his journey. And in the second half we can see him going hunting. Collecting mushrooms, sleeping in a cave and then hunting big game... Perfect, beautiful video, very well edited, sensitively... Thank you for every upload, I love your videos! And I'm sorry to always have a long comment on your videos... P.
