When I came home from Iraq, I spent 17 months in Montana building a small 12x16 cabin by myself, and my dog. I can't tell you the amount of s**t I worked out in my mind while I was alone up there. I had an old neighbor about a mile away that came to visit me once or twice a week. What started as a 10-15-minute talk eventually ended up as a whole day of us sitting on the porch, talking and drinking coffee. I learned that he had moved up there after Vietnam, and he lived out of his truck for two years while he built his (larger than mine) cabin. He lived up there until last year when I went to visit and found out he had passed away in his cabin. He had no family to leave it to, so I said my goodbyes and left a shot on the porch in his honor. It's amazing the people God puts in our lives when we need it most. I'm crying right now writing this because without this man, I never would have survived. I would have survived the physical aspect of my build, but the mental aspect of my past was so heavy, so overbearing, that I don't think I would have survived. Toward the end of my build my best friend showed up and spent almost a month with me. He's the reason why I came out of the woods. I subsequently found my wife, had three daughters, started and sold a business, and now that they are all past high school and into college, my wife and I are heading back into the woods in May. Building a cabin is good for the soul, the body, and the mind. Thank you for sharing this journey you guys went on. The brothers beside you brought back some serious emotions I now know how to handle. Thank you. God bless.

As a vet battling PTSD, this is my therapy. I wish I had friends with a bond like this. Keep up the great work.

You guys need this broadcasted on History Channel. Seriously impressed.

The nod to Mr Proenneke was fantastic. For someone who has watched that documentary as many times as I have, the narration was spot on. Well done gents.

This series is extremely underrated you guys are seriously funny and talented

Brilliant film, very entertaining. I almost cried as you raised the flags on your renovated cabin. My wife and I are 70 years old now but we began homesteading 25 years ago on our 12.75 acres in Mississippi. We built our own buildings, fences and house with our own hands. We have been married for 51 years, almost 52 years actually. We are best friends and companions. Neither of us has had an employer since we bought our place. We trusted GOD to provide all our needs and HE has done that abundantly. We live this everyday albeit in luxury compared to you guys. Now let's see you guys live there full time for the rest of your lives. That would be a real challenge for sure! Guy in Columbia Mississippi

I love that you raised 'Old Glory' ....! 🇺🇸 And Thank You for your service

that is one phenomenal set of hinges, build would not be the same without them

This is the first time im writing a comment of all of the hunderts of bushcraft Videos i saw in the Past years. Your Videos really helped me going through some Hard times and watching you guys just really relaxed me. Its beautiful to see your friendship, your Humor and the fun whilst building your own cabin. Please keep up with the Videos. Thank you and wish you all a happy life❤

This reminds me of old KZfaq, and I love it. Original content about a passion that takes hard work with a group of friends that have similar humor!

It’s almost time!!!! Thanks for bringing all of us that couldn’t make it boys!

Deadmen is your channel but you’re actually LIVING. Your camaraderie is awesome. I’m sure things happen off camera but the video is proof of your bond of brotherhood. I would have never tried what you’ve accomplished but my 52 year old self has really enjoyed watching you. Thank you so much for sharing!

Gentlemen and scholars, the lot of ya. Well played sirs.

Greetings from your one and only fan from Kyrgyzstan, waiting for this to premier at 3 am 😅 Exciting stuff! Keep it up!🤩

Im so Impressed with and Inspired by you boys. I couldnt wait for this 2nd part. Its a joy to watch you, see your creations, witness your journey. You guys are Brave, Creative, Joyful, Intelligent, Everything Good and wholesome. Thank you for sharing this with the world. 🙏🙏If you left the unedited hours and hours I would watch them too. 30 min is not enough!! 😄

Undoubtedly one of the coolest channels I was lucky enough to stumble upon. Incredible quality!

Great job guys Next time look into bringing some dehydrated veg with ye which are light in weight. Then you can bring more food with you

Been waiting 2 weeks for the 2nd episode. I can tell you guys had a great time. Thanks for sharing!

The music gets to me. Reminds me of spending time with my buddies back in the day. My son has 3 good friends. They all homeschooled together. There’s a bond there. One is married, one has a band, one works at a company and my son plays soccer and does Realistate, photography and works with a pro soccer team. But, they some how have found away to come together every now and then to do a project or go away somewhere to be together. I really hope you four will forever be close. Because I really miss it. Loving you vlogs

I am not your Mom.... But I am sure Damn Proud of you all !

You guys are so funny and awesome. It's so heartwarming to see the deep brotherhood and friendship you share. The world needs more people like you a 100 times over.

Out of all the bushcraft channels I've watched none can complete, yall are my new favorite and most likely will be forever. I wish yall the best of luck, keep up the amazing work. This is how life should be

Love from mineeesoootaaah. Love the work, keep it up boys 👏

That's an impressively tidy build. Love the door hinges and the tin can flue.

I am excited to see Lord of the Cabins return of the spam

Love watching you guys, I can imagine the bears round your cabin just laughing their butts off at that door.🙂

LOVE THIS!!!! SO STOKED I CAUGHT THE PREMIER!

You guys are my favorite thing on KZfaq right now. I hope this does well so you can keep making videos like this. The energy and chemistry y’all have is really entertaining and I’d love to see a deck, a winter series, a dock for fishing, a whole fort or a wall around your little compound. It’s really awesome. Keep up the good work

Keep up the great work gents, awesome and inspiring 💪💪.

Pretty dam awesome fellas

Great job, Josh and great video! Love it! Best door hinges I’ve ever seen…

Thomas Crapper, from 1870, salutes you, gentlemen. Great job, Semper Paratus! 😮

It’s looking great. I can’t wait to see the cabin in the snow!

Looked forward to this, cant wait for the next one

The accent is what makes this entire thing

cant wait

This is a grossly underrated series. Very well edited and narrated.

This is going to be awesome show.

I just really love the LOTR references, and the overall funny stuff you all come up with, brilliant. Ahh and the house is also looking nice

I hope we get another of these great recipes with spam!!! Food enough!!!

I don’t get how I’ve just found this channel today. this is what I like to see. Just some men having fun and building a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Keep up the good work 💪🏽🍻

Oh another cabin build video not. You not only built a cabin you guys had a good time doing it. The love & friendship you all share for one another really shows. Great job. looking forward to more videos.

Fantastic job on the henges, its good to see young people interested in people like Dick Prenokee.

I like the proenneke reference on the map

You guys are awesome!!

The wood stove install was quite interesting. I have the same stove. Gotta say you guys are doin a great job. Dick Proenneke is my hero. He grew up just 2 hrs from where I live, and theses a replica of his cabin in the local library. We visited it a couple years ago, its my dream to see the one he built. Thanks guys.

Congrats on the successful rebuild, and looked like an awesome adventure with friends.

Looking forward to watching your show 😜

From an old Marine to you four young sailors, outstanding job and an excellent adventure. Absolutely outstanding.

Incredible brotherhood, rooting for you guys. Take care of eachother.

Made in America. This is what life is all about building strong bond between brothers for life. Guys, you make life to be so beautiful and rich. Congratulations from a Colombian brother.

Incredible work! What a journey. Another thing in the books you brothers will remember forever!

Was looking forward to this. Great work

You guys should be really proud of yourselves. What you guys have accomplished, people like me working 9-5 can only dream of. Congratulations and love from India.

That is so cool you guys brought up Dicks cabin. Great series on OPB!

Nice work, guys!

Excellent work! Good for you guys!

Awesome! So funny and a great cabin build

The creativity, the friendship, the hard work the humor and the amazing edits, I really appreciate your videos guys! I can’t wait for more content! Watching all the way from Denmark in Europe🇩🇰🙏🏻

Really enjoyed this!

This series is awesome, love from Norway 😊

I yearn for this kind of stuff, current friends want to go camping and such but I dont see em wanting to go this far

Awesome guys!!!! Congratulations and greetings from Costa Rica!!!

The last little montage showing the first cabin and the refurbished one, wow. It is looking good. It really looks like you're surviving on the first frontier.

Favorite series on youtube, thanks for keeping it real boys!

After watching part one of your videos there is no way I was going to miss this one, well done fellows, I love all the skills you bring to building, very impressive and well done guys

This is one of my favorite channels on all of KZfaq. Been here since the first video, excited for the rest.

Looks like it rains every day in Alaska! Great talent amongst the 4 of you. Congrats!

Love it 4 nerdy navy guys having fun enjoying life makes me miss my time in the navy happy to see some of my brothers keeping there camaraderie even out of the service hope to see more in the future

Hey just wanted you to know that you guys seriously impressed me with this series of videos. Great craftsmanship and details on your builds. So stoked that Dick Proenneke is still motivating folks to build in the bush. Having lifelong friends from the Military involved is the icing on the cake. Keep LIVIN.

Watching from Australia. You guys are awesome. Thank you for sharing.

I AM missing plates. And bowls and mugs. Anything else? ;) Maybe more rice, less beans? Excellent work on the door hinge, Josh!! Great job, guys...!

What you're doing is incredibly impressive, you guys are incredibly fun to listen to and watch, and these videos are riveting. I wish you lot all the best

Great job guys 👏👏💪

I can not decide if I'm more impressed with the cabin or you're documentary of the year.

Can’t wait for part 3 but I hope to see even more! That property looks beautiful and dream as big as you can, build whatever you can think of and I’d love to see you guys try these types of videos at your property for a whole year living there! Trying the full course of bushman lifestyle with veg gardens, herb gardens, smoke house, kind of projecting my dream on you my apologies but I simply enjoy the content! Prayers to you 4 and yours.

Great job fellas! There is a lifetime of memories and story telling you all will have from this adventure👍🏻

Well done fellas. You have done something that so many people dream of doing. It's been nice watching your transformation from last year to this year. Lessons learned for sure.

Best wishes for a loooong lifetime of happy memories! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!! ♥️

Loving it more and more. Just watched the Elk tower after this and seriously want more content! Really strong editing and storytelling. Cant wait to see what you guys have in store. If you are looking for any ideas, i know i am curious as to the backstory behind you all, how you met etc. Why this. Why now. Why why why.

Not only is it super bad ass watching you guys build out a cabin in the bush. I’m laughing the entire time at how funny and entertaining you all are.

You guys are awesome !! Ten thumbs up!

This is really outstanding.

Absolutely fantastic channel fellas. Killer job on the updated cabin.

I've been waiting for part 2 and you didn't disappoint! You guys are awesome!! I love watching your experiences out there in the bush

not a vet however this is my fuel to build my own house on my own land i wish you gentlemen the best welcome home and thank you for serving may peace be with you all

Cody's rocking da earthrunners

I've never been in the military but just watching you guys starve and work Your asses off means you had such good training and discipline in our military so it's very refreshing and exciting to watch you guys fulfill your dreams!!!

You guys are hilarious I love watching this keep up the great content hopefully the next 3 part series is you guys hunting trapping fishing living life to its fullest in your amazing getaway

Out house is very impressive guys!

Привет! Пересмотел всю снрию ваших видео, жду продолжения! Желаю вашей команде удачи и впредь оставаться такими позитивными и весёлыми.

BZ🫡 really impressed

All the bickering going on in today’s world… This was awesome seeing four guys get along and work together as a team to get lots done. The peace was wonderful and you guys built a home with the strength of your bodies. I enjoyed every minute! Love from Georgia 🇺🇸

this should become a survival tv show

You guys are so enjoyable to watch and it’s nice to see other bush crafters with a nerdy side like myself

I’ve just found you today 12/14/23. Don’t know why but I’ve always been interested in building since my 7th grade councilor suggested I should be an architect (1961). I didn’t but spent 34 years teaching future engineers. I’ve watched many videos on bush life. I think I found the best!

Raising Old Glory at the end hit me hard , it made watching every second of the shenanigans worth it. Thanks for sharing this adventure!

You guys have certainly proven that 4 can get way more done than 2. Even with the extras like more food, chainsaw and other necessities, the extra 2 pair of hands can make a huge difference. What you brave men were able to accomplish just shy of 3 weeks into this trip was phenomenal, especially the distance into the bush you had to go. I am surprised you only had to deal with a few mice. That's grizz country, guys. Guns are essential. I know. I built a cabin in Chitina, AK with my ex and the bear on the property was not uncommon, moose and wolverine as well. I moved closer to the city after we broke up and now am an old disabled lady, but never will forget my "build in bush country." Hope you guys can spend lots of summers at this awesome cabin. There's nothing like an Alaskan summer!

Love this, can't wait for part 3!

Hey, I have to appreciate your video. There’s not very many videos with not much cussing in it and you guys didn’t use any bad language. I greatly appreciate it. My grandson and I really enjoyed watching your video and once again thank you for making it a little family friendly because the little shit cusses like a sailor because of me and I got in trouble lol
