Cabin looks great, narrator's voice sounds like a psycho

To live in the woods is to enjoy solitude , relaxation , oneness , tranquility and freedom ...

I dont understand why theres so much DISLIKES.... I LOVE THE VIDEO!... WE DONT NEED MUCH TO BE HAPPY THE SYSTEM HAS BRAIN WASHED US TO THINK WE DO AND ITS SAD.

This cabin looks like heaven to me...

I live in the mountains, but the woods are sparse. I hate the cities, and love the country.

a poor man's Richard Proeneke. "how much can a piece of wood be split.....now that is a darn good question." Love it! Prophetic, wimsical!

The Narrator's voice BELONGS in this short, wonderful, poetic piece!! Kudos!

i'm pretty sure the narrator is using a sarcastic tone and is being over-dramatic for comedic reasons

I love it! I was laughing my ass off "From the age of 7 months I was trained to crumple paper and hand it to my father....Great Satire! This should be made into a full length movie.

I enjoy the video very much and the psycho voice too. The cabin is great. The dance is probably the origin of the Zumba. This is the dream of your life and many others but so few have the courage to live it. Congratulation!

you have the right to narrate however you please. it hurts no one. the people below are proving to be what they are calling you..... thankyou for sharing a glimpse into your life.

before I read some of the comments I already wanted to praise you for your narration. appearantly many dont get the speed that life goes at when in the woods. keep up the good work , and living the good life..

This was REALLY funny. Thanks for the laughs. You had me rolling when the view from the new building showed the old building like 20 feet away. Hilarious.

I like your cat. He looks just like my cat. Having a dog or cat makes any situation more tolerable

I love it! I laughed several times. I think a lot of people are missing your Proenneke imitation. Very good little documentary and funny too. Love the lighthouse cap on your new roof.

"life revolves around one thing.. fireeeee" I loled pretty loudly when he said that

"Living alone in the woods has facilitate a hyper-evolutionary state of consciencetiousness, and with it to live every moment to the highest standard of consciencetious life". Dude, that some deep stuff, do you mind if use that quote?

Love the documentary, voice, drama and all. Thanks for the humor.

"Alone In the Wilderness" watch it before commenting, to appreciate what he's doing in this video.

Trying to imitate Bob Swear, the guy who made Alone in the Wilderness without a doubt....don't imitate someone, be your own person!

2005? What a beautiful place. I love a woodburning stove and i could live in the woods ( I actually have and loved it... of course we had modern conveniences, indoor plumbing when the pipes didn't freeze a woodburning stove and we hunted for some of our meat) ... look at that cook stove ... thats a beauty and he is in a log home... Personally one floor is good enough and easier to keep warm. He's a farmer so he has animals too. Probably plants a garden too... He sounds either way way relaxed or lonely. I enjoy my peace and quiet with occasional socializing... the life of a hermit is not normal imo...

Hard living, but I appreciate the videos, to show everyone just how some of us get to live

Wish I had access to this video during the days I suffered from insomnia. Still, I will give it a thumbs up because hey, cabin life is cool .

Jacob you are a subtle genius! A truly great homage to the travelogues and adventure films I grew up on. Really funny.

Dude, this is one of funniest things I have ever seen on KZfaq.

I gotta tell ya...this might be a spoof but it's awesome! I loved it. It's funny too! I love your kitty and Pup too!

I'm on my second round. This guy is a trip and his voice is like liquid gold. It massages me inside; hypnotizes me. Can I buy your voice?

2 minutes and 30 seconds is all this wondering soul could stand. This wilderness that my eyes are viewing burst at the idea of crumpling freshly printed newspapers into balls for a mundane look into the seemingly endless depths of fire embers. Only if I were Stoned out of my mind could I endure any more torture.

satirizing Henry David Thoreau - brilliant. We forget the little, yet important talents we aquire with experience, such as paper crumpling. Also, Zeno's paradox suggests you could never stop splitting a piece of wood.

I loved it! Looking forward to more.....

Great job on the video. This is what happens when time and drugs are mixed. I have to admit I laghed hard for the first time in a long time. I did flash back to 6 yrs old and splitting wood to feed the stove. Keep Living.

It's like he's on death row and he's telling his last story.

A crystal pure video, real gasp of fresh air. Great narration,It looks like a spoken word narrative. Thank you for sharing Sir!

this kid did a cool job. he is not trying to make money off some exploitation, like others who offer vids of wilderness living for sale; money; profit. he is only reflecting on his own being: "like most things, i am nothing."

Nice Cabin. Great fire and video. Thank you. PS. You didn't scare me! Lol

Love that stove. There's an actor with the same voice. It's not creepy just different.

I love this video, a weird sense of humor lol almost a mockery of 'serious' takes on man alone in the woods. The direction though is serius and the narrative draws you in. I think this effort is just GREAT.

Simple lifestyle.... The development of higher consciousness. Thanks for uploading.

Hey, when ya move into the new place, I sure would like to move into the old one! Great video. Don't listen to those sidewalk-heads. When the lights go out, they will just be statistics, and no one will remember them. Great lookin' cat too. ~Wolf

Hey, I get it... Great job! I really enjoyed this! And I'm envious!!

loved the video...hope there is more to come...seems so peaceful!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!!!

I can appreciate satire humor and know when I see it. Thanks.

So lucky I wish I was out west.

Props for living in the wild, none for the straight rip of Dick Proenneke in your narrative style.

i about fell out of my chair laughing when you said; twenty seven yrs of paper crumbling...lol..& then how many times can you split a piece of kindling wood, into how many pieces?...are you still at the cabin jacob? or did you transition? Wish you would have panned the camera & let us see what the cabin looked like inside!! wado, miigwech for the video, it made my day

Love it, I laughed my ass off. I got your humor, rock on.

Warning to others: The title should say: Documentary COMEDY. He makes comments like, "when I was 7 months old my parents taught me how to crumple newspaper to start a fire; and when I was a two year old they bought me an axe and taught me how to chop firewood."

aww hell yeah buddy. I love the docamenaterry!

I am wide awake my friend. But everyone's not yet awake i can only wait for that day. thank you for your king and knowledgeable words.

Dude this is way cool and truer than most know! I have lived this way so I ought to know. I can really relate. One hasn't lived until they've lived like this. We have 3 adult kids whom we homeschooled. One is going to the Nat. Aviation Academy now and is a 4.0 student there at the end of his 1st year. I'm a proud pioneer!

This is a Classic unfolding of a young mans heart, Truly Amazing, Tnx

This is a very nice video, thank you for it.

I love your video. it has a relaxing tone and I enjoy your thoughts as if one is relaxing to a story being told. I would love to live as such. I HATE the life today as one knows it. I envy all who has this luxury of a life. I am one who has gotten caught up in this back and forth to work, bills, appointments, deadlines, duties, etc. I dread each day and wish for the simple, quiet life again. I use to have this luxury but you don't know what you got till you leave it, now i want it back.

This is absolutely hysterical and yet a tribute to Dick Preneke (sp?). Everyone that gave you a thumbs down does NOT get it. The photography is fun as well, love the dog chasing you. :) Also LOVE the cabin, where is it?

At 0:56 I dozed off... Woke up when my cat farted... That's how boring this video is..

Here is a video from someone who is obviously gentle and good-humored. Then an anonymous person logs on to post negative personal comments about them based on a 10 minute video. Nature is the most social of all organisms. It doesn't despise or put down any ideas. It just goes with what works. There are a lot of people right now who don't feel that what we have is working.

sounds like he's trying to sound like a person telling a scary story. but it feels like a massage to listen to him, so I guess I'm caught in his dead-lights.

Awsome!! loved the Narrating..

excellent. Loved it. I used to live on Snoqualmie Pass as a teenager. Good times as though you are having here.

Great Clip! Makes me crave nature and those isolated moments.

excellent! well done! a pleasure to watch. thanks

Wow I was so relaxed watching this video

lol @ 27 years of paper crumpling experience.. lmao

love your place thats what i want someday great vid!!

If you like this, you might like "Surviving in the Siberian Wilderness." It is about a woman who has been living off the grid for her 70 plus years of life. She didn't know about WWII but knew rocket practice was happening around her.

I really admire you and your life, and this is ab,solutely, HILARIOUS. I was laughing SOOOOOOOO, hard at the way you put things and your stupid dance and you and your pets.....oh my gosh. hysterical, literally (with british accent, LITT-rally). and gotta dig the higher state of consciousness riiiiight

Beautiful cabin!

Nice! Like your final thoughts!

Good art takes many forms.

Great video. Thought provoking. Inspiring. I soon will be living this very ideal.

"Just how many times can a piece of quartered fir be split? Now THAT is the question." Lol

more videos like this or an update would be most appreciated. I am embarking on this kind of life soon (within a year)

"Today I am proud to say that I have over 27 years of paper crumbling experience." Lol. Joke or naw?

This is one if not THE most fave video of mine! It makes me laugh and cry too. I love your kitty and your dog. I love your cabin and your cottage. I love your sense of humor. I love the alpha and the omega of this video. I'm near Seattle on the Oly Peninsula. I wonder if you're on my side of the sound or in the east? You are totally awesome. I enjoyed Dick's video also but I think yours is more entertaining! Much Respect to you! Your mom should be proud! Peace.

Yoda: The satire is strong with this one.

This is a great video,irregardless how many num-nuts answers here!Keep up the great work!!

Very interesting. Thank you.

Loved this vid. Reminds me of my son and his dog. We live as a family in a yurt in the woods, and my son has to chop alot of wood as well, which he loves to do. I wonder if this young man is still living like this?

What a nice video. I thought this was really original, warm, heartfelt, and so different then the stupid traditional macho blabla videos I see soo often. Also you brought in humor and some feeling of history and sense into teh video. Big compliment!

Love the cabin, but this voice is way to scary, I had to stop watching !

The kid"s voice isn't creepy... it's just stream-of consciousness style. He seems to be going after genuine experiences. Cheers, sir, a lovely video in fact! Learn on, brother.

A wonderful approach to life. I'd stik with the cabin though instead of the cottage. Good luck.

Perfect voice for a zombie apocalypse film.....every time he speaks I think someone is about to get their head riped off ...lol that said I should also say the video had a great theme oddly enough I did enjoy it.

His voice is fondling me.

Cool video bro!

This film is wonderfull. It makes you want to get away from the noise of the city, the company that has nothing to fuck anyone. Provided that the money is in the center of their lives, people are swinging from everything else. Me it's the opposite ... I want to live away from everything related to money except for food. Like that, we should have nothing person and free to do what you want.. BRAVO ;)

Rod Serling would be proud. In the twilight we exist.

LOL funny production, I found it very clever. Well done. Thumbs up from me

Peace with you my friend. I belive our mother nature need us humans to live your way. God bless.

Personally I don't think this guy should have eaten those mushrooms he found

god that was sweet when that line was delivered

I'm not sure if the narrator is joking or not with that dialogue and the way he's saying it. It almost sounds like he's mocking similar nature programs, either that or he's just a crazy person living in solitude in the middle of nowhere

I'd have to admire anyone who choose this life style in today's concrete society. A return to a more natural world would do the entire human race a great deal of good. I get your meaning behind the video and just decided to look over all the negative comments. The narration did kind of remind me of Robby Benson for some reasons but over all it was a neat video.

i loved to see snow falling down , very romantic wood house

love this video...its time to find nearby jungle to life like this...yeaaahhhh... ^^

I enjoyed it,and have no problem with taking a toke if one choses to,I am.

Love you r cabin and cottage !!

this is amazing you're so lucky

Great cabin .... congratulations
