Three Years Building an Off Grid Dovetail Log Cabin in the Canadian Wilderness | Start to Finish
Published at : 23 Dec 2025
In the fall of 2018 I purchased a Woodlandmills HM126 bandsaw mill. This was the first step on my journey to building a dovetail log cabin and an off grid life in the wilderness of eastern Canada.
Through this journey I have also grown a small YouTube channel, learned countless lessons, and connected with numerous people from both my local area and farther abroad.
This journey has been exceedingly rewarding. The feeling of building a home with one's own hands is hard to describe. It is an immense amount of work, but completely worth it.
