Building A-Frame Cabin in Northern Sweden Part 1 

Thank you so much for being here and supporting my channel! ❤ If you want to see Part 2 of the A-Frame build straight away, head to www.curiositystream.com/kalleflodin and grab the deal to get nebula and Curiosity Stream for just $14.79. Part two is live on Nebula right now! 😊

I love your honesty and transparency. "Yes, this video needs to be out there, so I can continue building my life." Not many creators are brave enough to say that. You have my respect, Kalle. Would love to visit Sweden someday, but now I need money to build my future, so root for me, please. Can't wait for your next video!

This is going to be so peaceful and beautiful to be in the middle of nature

Kalle, it's been such a pleasure discovering your channel. Such a refreshment to see someone not trying to embellish the truth, and portray perfect life, yet a real life with both beauty and struggle. Thank you for creating and sharing with us. 🎬🌲🌲🌲

Great video! that must have been so much work, not only all the hard labour to build it and in the snow, but all the filming and editing, great job!

Seeing the A-frame come together is so inspiring! ☺I am excited to see part 2 and also the interior in the end. I think it will be so cozy 🛖🌲✨

Hej Kalle! RU-vid rekommenderade en av dina videos till mig för ca 10 timmar sedan, och sedan dess har jag suttit fastklistrad vid datorn och tittat på dina fantastiska videon. Du har inspirerat mig så oerhört mycket så att jag kan inte tacka dig nog!🙏😊 Jag har drömt om att göra min egna version av det som du gör, och dina videon har övertygad mig om att jag kan göra det!❤ Precis som dig har jag många gånger känt att jag ligger efter i livet, att alla andra har full koll på läget men inte jag... Men tack vare ditt content börjar jag inse mer och mer att allt som har hänt, framförallt det som jag tidigare har betraktat som misslyckanden, har bara pushat mig i den riktningen som jag är ämnad att följa. Du har berättat så mycket i dina videon som jag kan relatera till så att det är nästan läskigt. Tusen tack Kalle🙏 "Who dares wins"

I think what I appreciate most about these videos is the amount of respect you have for everything you touch, from a piece of kindling to the massive beams you’re carrying to the site, from your girls to your partner, from the frigid Ivey cold days to your walks through the forest with blue skies and the pure warmth of the sun. Thank you, again, for sharing. You are showing me how to be more gentle with my environment, wherever that may be.

I don’t normally comment or like videos, but I think this needs to be spread through RU-vid like you said. There’s something so peaceful and natural about building a house or cabin in the middle of the woods. I think more people need this inspiration to get out of the city and go be in nature, even if it’s just long enough to build a cabin and stay in it on weekends or just when a getaway is needed. There’s something amazing about having somewhere to escape to for some peace and relaxation. Thanks for sharing this build. The algorithm worked because this is the first time I’ve seen your channel, and I’ll be checking out more!

Design wise it looks beautiful. Few advices, since I built similar structure recently: 1. OSB is very unstable for torsion and bearing. I find it very unusual to see it as construction element supposed to "carry" weight. I see it is framed but I would definitely reccomend you to add more horizontal strengthening between triangels. For construction (weight bearing elements) beams I usually use pine wood. 2. Your lowest wooden beam is too close to the ground, moisture evaporating from the soil will fasten the rotting effect. I tried to lift it at least 50cm from the ground to allow air to circulate. Also I treated it with several layers of impregnation and paint. You could also just burn it on the outer layer. In my region (e.g. Northern Croatia in hills or mountains) there are wooden buildings 100+ years old, using the burning wood technique. Traditional construction technics can be a great learning source.

Looks awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing how this cabin develops 😁

Kalle, I don't usually leave comments but I found your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love it! You come across as a really down to earth guy who takes pride in their work and that comes across well with the quality of your videos. Your lifestyle is so interesting to watch. I'd love to see you travel to other places where people live like this and capture how they live along with your storytelling skills.

Kalle, this place looks so cozy, thank you for sharing your journey with us. I can’t wait to watch the next video.

It was so fascinating to watch. I admire your strength and tenacity to do a build like this in the cold and especially the snow. Still it must be just heavenly to be working out there in the fresh air. That moment you paused just to breathe in the cold, I could only imagine how magical that was. It's definitely hard work, but you all make it look easy! You all work together as a team and it's amazing to see this build come together. That drone shot through the A-frame was especially neat. Thank you for sharing all of this, Kalle! 💗💗💗

What a process! Beautiful! Please keep us posted!

My husband and I build our home 40 years ago, before nail guns--hammers only. Since then I've enjoyed watching others build and remember our experiences. Quite the adventure. I enjoy your videos.

It is so nice to see people coming together to help one another to achieve a goal. Awesome video Kalle! Stay blessed and stay warm!

Kalle, You and your friends have my awe and admiration for your capacity to endure the frigid winter conditions while doing this construction. Building can challenging even in moderate environments like mine in North Carolina, but while doing it in almost darkness, deep snow and sub freezing temps is amazing. Best wishes!

It’s so amazing to watch how you guys build this beautiful A-frame cabin in the woods! Can’t wait to see part 2 😍😍😍

I LOVE that we can watch the build. Can't wait to see the finished building, Kalle.

Thanks for sharing this video. I love how simple the construction seems when properly laid out and planned ahead of time. I love the look and simplicity of the A-Frame house. Keep up the great work and look forward to the continuation of this A-Frame.

Great video Kalle! Looking forward to part two!

So rewarding when you see something you imagined and dreamed about come together. Looking forward to seeing it through!

This looks amazing and I can't wait to see it!!

excited to see it finished.

Great video and what looks like a wonderful and cosy cabin in the making. I love watching your videos as they are honest and real and you're not trying to paint a picture of a perfect life like many others do. Looking forward to part 2 and seeing the progression of the build. Good luck!

Beautiful setting and great start on the “A” Frame cabin. Can’t wait to see the rest!

So glad to finally see this come to fruition! I have a project ahead of me when I get home tonight. My father in Law gave me a deer hide to try tanning so wish me luck with my RU-vid binging experience and hope I get a nice hide out of it!

Looks fab Kalle! Can't wait to see part 2 :)

The cabin looks absolutely stunning. Can't wait for the next video. Jätteduktigt jobbat. Huset ser redan mysigt ut. Tack för videon av en relativt ny prenumerant

So excited to see it all done! going to be so beautiful!!

Thanks for sharing the process of the building of your A-frame. Hope you keep making more videos of the build because its fascinating to watch.

It's going to be so cool, so excited to see this building come together.

At the mark 6:51 I breathed easily knowing that you have help. I cannot imagine working in the freezing cold and within a timeframe. I don't know what time you have given yourself but I'm very excited to see the build and completion. As Fazakas Andrea has said in the comments, we are very happy to see an inspiring and down to earth and honest RU-vid creator. From some of your interviews with your beautiful wife I have noticed that in everything that you do, from the projects to the lifestyle, you do much for love and for living. I'm here for the journey. Looking forward to seeing the next videos and future interviews! Thank you, Kalle!

GREAT START to the build!!!!

I stumbled upon your channel recently and I've been hooked ever since. And not sure if it's you or RU-vid, but the auto translation shows 'thank you' every once in a while and it's just a nice touch 😊 keep the videos coming! 🙌

Keep them coming, appreciate seeing this project.

This looks like a great cabin design! I look forward to seeing more videos about the build out and then how you are enjoying it when it’s all done!

so much looking forward to part 2!!

Really relaxing video, can’t wait for part 2

Bästa film, otroligt inspirerande.

Living the dream Kalle! So Happy for you and Christine

This is what we needed! Thank you for taking time to make this video 😊

Thank you Kalle for sharing your videos. I love your content, your easy going outlook and the wonderful location. I struggle with anexiety and depression particularly after my wife's passing not too long ago. It helps to escape for a while watching your videos.

I love videos where people are building cabins. Especially in the forest. This is always so inspiring.

Looks great! love to see it when it's done.

Love the content @KalleFlodin!! Great work you are doing, keep going my friend!

Looking forward to seeing the process

Oh and Part 2 of this one was so great. I loved your ideas for the future Inside look of the Aframe. I could really see you sitting on a couch with a cup of tea and watch out of this great window! Really great job!

This is such a cool build with the pre-fab pieces! Sure makes the A-frame go up quickly! It will be beautiful when it's finished...can't wait to see the future episodes!

Love your work. It helps to get distracted. How nice to have these kind people that helps to build your project.

It looks amazing already!

Kalle! How nice! This A frame cabin is so dreamy!

This is so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you Kalle for being so open and transparent with your life. I found you randomly and have been watching so many of your videos because I've been dreaming of a similar life to help me get through the rough spot I'm going through. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you thus far. You give me hope that things can change. Skål my friend.

How wonderful. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Some of us are living out our dreams thru you! ❤

I love the design of this a frame! I have decided to take the steps to buy my own property within the next 5 years and this is almost exactly the time of cabin I want to build once I do! Can’t wait for the rest of the videos!

Can’t wait to see it finished!

This is so exciting Kalle 🤩 I signed up for your Curiosity Stream/Nebula bundle about 6 months ago and I'm enjoying it so much! So many great documentaries!! You really can't beat this deal! Now I can watch part 2 of this A-frame build 😄
