Timmy , you could have chosen an easy addiction like wild women, booze , tobacco or worse but you chose building your own house(s) - You’ve come a long way my friend ! Great respect !

Your nephew has such a thick accent, cute sounds like an old man! But I hear I have an accent, impossible! Your dads home is magical. Reminds me my home in a way, everything was wood made by my grandpa from Sweden. Big difference, we were 30 miles from town, no electricity, wood heat, coal oil lamp, it was magical in its own way. And though not uphill I had a 7 mile return walk to school in winter, and my bike in non snow or rain weather. You are so like your dad, and lucky to still have him. Enjoy every moment with him. Take care. Enjoy your trip together.

That cabin left me speechless to such an extent I started thinking about it and it struck me that so called "high end" designers create "cabins" that aim to emulate that authenticity, and for all the millions of dollars they command, they're still a million miles away from the authenticity that your old man has created, because it can't be designed in, it has to come from within. What an awesome place he has.

A shrine. Stories. Books. Nestled into the landscape. Phenomenal porch. Creek Songs bathe the place. Rockers on the front porch. Meticulous artful work. Relationship with the beings of the forest. Yer Dad’s earnestness is evident. “You should never ride a scooter with one hand.” DAS Parka makes the trip south. Nice. Dad’s Orange puffy - also Nice. Cleaner than yours. Nephew has style. fly shoes and flat brim. Energetic Grom. In fact, the triumvirate of elder, middler, and cub in this video is quite potent. The bros of your tribe. Sacred shit. Truly. Thanks for the peek inside this important place with important people, Tim.

I just saw some videos of the flood in Gatlinburg and Sevierville just recently. Hope your Dad's place was spared from all of that drama. Your Dad, Sister, and Nephew seem like amazing kind of people...just like you, Timmy. Glad you were able to visit them over the holidays. Be safe on your travels to and from Alaska!! 🙂 🌄

Having that YardMax is highly genius 👏 my wife's Grandfather that lived in the Ozark mountains few year back actually passed away from heavy lifting in his homestead, very similar to this property, he was lifting a heavy sink by himself and it caused him a heart attack, having something like this machine is a smart move, no pun intended.

I'm not one for taxidermy , it's just not my thing, but everywhere you look, there is such detail, and natural beauty all done by your dad's own hand. I'm sure your so proud of your father, and he has taught you so much. Your lucky to have had such a father growing up. So many young men are not taught so much by their fathers anymore. Times have changed, and not for the better, in that way. So often young boys and young men don't have a father that is a role model or a teacher, who shows thier sons how to how to work hard for themselves and the family they might have someday, or help them find a trade, so that they will always be able to find employment,how to fix a car, how to use tools, and build things, and how to be the patriarch of their own family day. I love your channel, and I'm always impressed with how much you know, and the life you have chosen for yourself. You have to really know what your doing to have the life you have, and now all of your followers out here in you tube land, know exactly where you got it from. You should be so proud of your dad and yourself. ❤️🌎
