Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on RU-vid, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too.
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!

This shelter is not a fantasy shelter. I try to reconstruct a specific type of shelter the Longhunters of Appalachia used to make, at least up until the early 1900's. Yes it is a lot of work, but they should last for many years.

Hollowing those logs out reminds me of building my first log canoe when I was a kid...me and my best friend spent a whole day hollowing out this huge log...went to go put it in the water and it sank like a stone...the log we used was some super dense wood that didn't float at all...not even small pieces. It was an exhausting day...all for nothing, except the lesson that wood type matters when making something you want to float. We were dumb kids...the whole canoe weighed several hundreds of pounds, easily...of course it wasn't going to float...it did look good though, before it sank to the bottom.

Lars, the cabin axe has a battle axe style grind. It is made for chopping. There are many different styles of axes, for specific tasks. This shelter would have been made by several men working together. You doing this on your own shows just how difficult the times must have been.

Your English is much better than my Russian and you know how to do many things because of the place you live, the economic restrictions and sometimes just the distance from needed supplies. You do your thing just the way you do it, talk just the way you talk and live just the way you live! It is amazing brother!

Watching you produce shavings on the bottom log with the axe was very pleasing. Great job Lars. This is very interesting. Also, got to say I love the reversible jacket. Going to be on my list to get. Got my 1st Bars gorka last week from the Soviet Russia store. It is even better than you said! Going to order more soon. 👍👍👍

@ErikGrankvist 4 года назад

Hi Lars another great video as usual! May I suggest using a large gutter adze (Tjäckelyxa in Swedish) to cut out those cips after using the motorsaw. It goes very fast and rounds it out. I do similar kind of work when building log cabin all by hand, you can learn it in my highlighted video on my channel. Good luck. :)

@horatiodreamt 4 года назад

The hollowed logs could also be used for makeshift entertainment in the woods. When it rains hard, you could elevate a log at a higher angle, then climb to the top end and slide down the log during the heavy rain. The log could be a personal water slide like at an amusement park.

The dictionary was actually compiled by Dr Samuel Johnson in 1755 in an effort to standardise all the diverse accents to be found throughout England into one homogeneous language. Noah Webster wrote the American Dictionary and chose to simplify the spelling but also to make American different to English spelling and give it it's own identity much like the new nation.

@Zigge 4 года назад

If you want to split wood with the chainsaw it helps a lot to have a chain filed to splitting and not cross-cutting. Instead of the usual 30 degrees, a splitting chain needs to only be 5 to 10 degrees. It will almost double the speed :-) When you have filed it then you need to figure out how much you can reduce the followers to make it bite more. It depends on how powerful your saw engine is, but you can usually make it pretty aggressive.

@troelsandersen9654 4 года назад

Thank you Lars for "Soldiering On" with this project. It is an "awesome" lot of work for one man. When you do the roof, remember to put the underlying logs with the narrow end at the top, and the overlaying logs with the wide end at the top. That way your roof can be kept square. Furthermore, because most of the water will be at the bottom, you need the widest carrying capacity down there. Roofing tiles are still made according to this principle - in Danish they are called "Monks and Nuns". :)
