Stuck Alone in Snow Storm Overnight | Building Log Cabin

Episode 21 on the log cabin build series!
Sometimes I get caught up in the build and don't really think about how dark it starts to get. When the snow blizzard hit I thought that this is a great time to show you viewers my tent finally. This is just me doing the usual routines in the tent but many wanted to see this so hopefully you will enjoy the time as much as I do. The best part about building a log cabin in the middle of a dense forest is that even when it is super windy only the tree tops blow in the wind. Sleeping on the ground in winter is...not the greatest. You get more used to it over time and I would recommend trying it at least once in life but be prepared.
My Story:
When I graduated high school I sought a big challenge in life. To alone, with only simple hand tools and raw power, build my own traditional off grid log cabin by hand from the materials of the Swedish forest. I film everything myself and edit these videos so you can follow my journey and hopefully learn as I do. I have no earlier experience in any of this, just a visualization of what I want to achieve and willpower to learn and improve everything necessary. So I enjoy reading good advice in the comments. Enjoy!

We have the same kind of weather here in North Eastern Minnesota, and, we do not stop building in the winter. We shovel off the scaffold planks every morning, and, just keep on going. I have had to put my air compressor in the front of the truck with the heater on some days. But, the work goes on, i do not think i have ever wanted to jump in a cold lake for a bath, but, i have ended many days with a good sauna, and a hot wood fire. I admire this young man, he is doing something that he will never regret.
