Thank you so much for being here and supporting my channel! ❤ If you want to see Part 2 of the A-Frame build straight away, head to www.curiositystream.com/kalleflodin and grab the deal to get nebula and Curiosity Stream for just $14.79. Part two is live on Nebula right now! 😊

I love your honesty and transparency. "Yes, this video needs to be out there, so I can continue building my life." Not many creators are brave enough to say that. You have my respect, Kalle. Would love to visit Sweden someday, but now I need money to build my future, so root for me, please. Can't wait for your next video!

This is going to be so peaceful and beautiful to be in the middle of nature

I think what I appreciate most about these videos is the amount of respect you have for everything you touch, from a piece of kindling to the massive beams you’re carrying to the site, from your girls to your partner, from the frigid Ivey cold days to your walks through the forest with blue skies and the pure warmth of the sun. Thank you, again, for sharing. You are showing me how to be more gentle with my environment, wherever that may be.

I don’t normally comment or like videos, but I think this needs to be spread through KZfaq like you said. There’s something so peaceful and natural about building a house or cabin in the middle of the woods. I think more people need this inspiration to get out of the city and go be in nature, even if it’s just long enough to build a cabin and stay in it on weekends or just when a getaway is needed. There’s something amazing about having somewhere to escape to for some peace and relaxation. Thanks for sharing this build. The algorithm worked because this is the first time I’ve seen your channel, and I’ll be checking out more!

Design wise it looks beautiful. Few advices, since I built similar structure recently: 1. OSB is very unstable for torsion and bearing. I find it very unusual to see it as construction element supposed to "carry" weight. I see it is framed but I would definitely reccomend you to add more horizontal strengthening between triangels. For construction (weight bearing elements) beams I usually use pine wood. 2. Your lowest wooden beam is too close to the ground, moisture evaporating from the soil will fasten the rotting effect. I tried to lift it at least 50cm from the ground to allow air to circulate. Also I treated it with several layers of impregnation and paint. You could also just burn it on the outer layer. In my region (e.g. Northern Croatia in hills or mountains) there are wooden buildings 100+ years old, using the burning wood technique. Traditional construction technics can be a great learning source.

Kalle, it's been such a pleasure discovering your channel. Such a refreshment to see someone not trying to embellish the truth, and portray perfect life, yet a real life with both beauty and struggle. Thank you for creating and sharing with us. 🎬🌲🌲🌲

Seeing the A-frame come together is so inspiring! ☺I am excited to see part 2 and also the interior in the end. I think it will be so cozy 🛖🌲✨

Kalle, I don't usually leave comments but I found your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love it! You come across as a really down to earth guy who takes pride in their work and that comes across well with the quality of your videos. Your lifestyle is so interesting to watch. I'd love to see you travel to other places where people live like this and capture how they live along with your storytelling skills.

Hej Kalle! KZfaq rekommenderade en av dina videos till mig för ca 10 timmar sedan, och sedan dess har jag suttit fastklistrad vid datorn och tittat på dina fantastiska videon. Du har inspirerat mig så oerhört mycket så att jag kan inte tacka dig nog!🙏😊 Jag har drömt om att göra min egna version av det som du gör, och dina videon har övertygad mig om att jag kan göra det!❤ Precis som dig har jag många gånger känt att jag ligger efter i livet, att alla andra har full koll på läget men inte jag... Men tack vare ditt content börjar jag inse mer och mer att allt som har hänt, framförallt det som jag tidigare har betraktat som misslyckanden, har bara pushat mig i den riktningen som jag är ämnad att följa. Du har berättat så mycket i dina videon som jag kan relatera till så att det är nästan läskigt. Tusen tack Kalle🙏 "Who dares wins"

Great video! that must have been so much work, not only all the hard labour to build it and in the snow, but all the filming and editing, great job!

My husband and I build our home 40 years ago, before nail guns--hammers only. Since then I've enjoyed watching others build and remember our experiences. Quite the adventure. I enjoy your videos.

At the mark 6:51 I breathed easily knowing that you have help. I cannot imagine working in the freezing cold and within a timeframe. I don't know what time you have given yourself but I'm very excited to see the build and completion. As Fazakas Andrea has said in the comments, we are very happy to see an inspiring and down to earth and honest KZfaq creator. From some of your interviews with your beautiful wife I have noticed that in everything that you do, from the projects to the lifestyle, you do much for love and for living. I'm here for the journey. Looking forward to seeing the next videos and future interviews! Thank you, Kalle!

Love your work. It helps to get distracted. How nice to have these kind people that helps to build your project.

Hi, from New York I’m not a KZfaqr, but I read on somebody else’s channel that they advised the KZfaqr to make a series of short videos so they could get a light which supported the channel more. Maybe that would help pay for your A-frame I think it’s going to be beautiful. I love the scenery. Good luck.

Those first logs looked very heavy. Glad you had help in moving them. Looks like this A-frame is going to be lovely.

Looks awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing how this cabin develops 😁

So glad to finally see this come to fruition! I have a project ahead of me when I get home tonight. My father in Law gave me a deer hide to try tanning so wish me luck with my KZfaq binging experience and hope I get a nice hide out of it!

I stumbled upon your channel recently and I've been hooked ever since. And not sure if it's you or KZfaq, but the auto translation shows 'thank you' every once in a while and it's just a nice touch 😊 keep the videos coming! 🙌

Living the dream Kalle! So Happy for you and Christine

As a half Swede, it’s nice to hear men having a simple work chats in the woods. Men du behovs Falu korv for lunch! 😀

Kalle, this place looks so cozy, thank you for sharing your journey with us. I can’t wait to watch the next video.

Thank you Kalle for sharing your videos. I love your content, your easy going outlook and the wonderful location. I struggle with anexiety and depression particularly after my wife's passing not too long ago. It helps to escape for a while watching your videos.

Thank you Kalle for being so open and transparent with your life. I found you randomly and have been watching so many of your videos because I've been dreaming of a similar life to help me get through the rough spot I'm going through. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you thus far. You give me hope that things can change. Skål my friend.

It looks she good and I’m sure it’s going to be a beautiful space. Keep it up. Can’t wait to see it finished. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

A FANTASTIC PLACE to meditate & be creative 🌲🧘🏽‍♀️

“Plan your work, Work your plan” nicely done… 👍🏻😁

Amazing! And cooperation is a good thing in construction!

How wonderful. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Some of us are living out our dreams thru you! ❤

Setting raw lumber on the ground is brave. The I joist idea is genius.

Kalle, You and your friends have my awe and admiration for your capacity to endure the frigid winter conditions while doing this construction. Building can challenging even in moderate environments like mine in North Carolina, but while doing it in almost darkness, deep snow and sub freezing temps is amazing. Best wishes!

The cabin looks absolutely stunning. Can't wait for the next video. Jätteduktigt jobbat. Huset ser redan mysigt ut. Tack för videon av en relativt ny prenumerant

Love the a frame design, always wanted one when I was younger.

Why is Kalle moving stuff in the dark? Oh right, Sweden in the winter.

I really enjoyed watching this A-frame video. Thank you, Kalle.💖

I love videos where people are building cabins. Especially in the forest. This is always so inspiring.

I have always loved the looks of an a-frame.

The A-Frame looks amazing so far! Cant wait to see what it looks like later on. Will you be making a video on how you got your internet in the future? My wife and I would love to have a cabin in the woods similar to your setup. Thanks for the amazing content!

Such a beautiful part of the world you live in. 😊

Great video and what looks like a wonderful and cosy cabin in the making. I love watching your videos as they are honest and real and you're not trying to paint a picture of a perfect life like many others do. Looking forward to part 2 and seeing the progression of the build. Good luck!

Wow. As a fellow creator I cannot imagine the difficulty of getting all these shots, AND during the middle of winter… in the dark… and the snow… Think of it people. The one clip of him carrying the heavy wooden beam: -set up camera, pick up beam, get the shot -put down beam, move camera, pick up beam (AGAIN) get shot, put beam down -REPEAT😱😱 Huge respect for the monumental effort you put into making high production value videos. Amazing! 🙌🏻🫡

Min man och jag älskar att titta på dina KZfaqs filmer och drömma lite. Tack!!!

Love the content @KalleFlodin!! Great work you are doing, keep going my friend!

Good luck with your cabin build!

Love watching A-Fram builds! I will have to sign up to nebula now, seen a few other creators mention it but you’re the first to convince me 👍

It was so fascinating to watch. I admire your strength and tenacity to do a build like this in the cold and especially the snow. Still it must be just heavenly to be working out there in the fresh air. That moment you paused just to breathe in the cold, I could only imagine how magical that was. It's definitely hard work, but you all make it look easy! You all work together as a team and it's amazing to see this build come together. That drone shot through the A-frame was especially neat. Thank you for sharing all of this, Kalle! 💗💗💗

Great video Kalle! Looking forward to part two!

That looks great! I am sure it will be a cozy working place. Exited how it will look when it is finished…😍

It's going to be so cool, so excited to see this building come together.

The A- frame is looking awesome, so cozy

So rewarding when you see something you imagined and dreamed about come together. Looking forward to seeing it through!

It looks very cold but also so nice to do this work. Good company and good food will get you very far.

Kalle! How nice! This A frame cabin is so dreamy!

By sharing this you serve humanity, because we learn from you and become inspired! Tack!! Kärlek till er där ....

It’s so amazing to watch how you guys build this beautiful A-frame cabin in the woods! Can’t wait to see part 2 😍😍😍

I loved the little hot dog break on the construction site! 😃

thank you for sharing your beautiful A frame… i would LOVE to build my own 💜

This is what we needed! Thank you for taking time to make this video 😊

Oh and Part 2 of this one was so great. I loved your ideas for the future Inside look of the Aframe. I could really see you sitting on a couch with a cup of tea and watch out of this great window! Really great job!

I almost fell asleep due to the chill music in the background, so cozy. BUT I was right awake for your offer to try Nebula, just activated my 1 year in HD. looks very interesting, thanks for sharing kalle!

Good evening! I bet you look back to the scene when you first moved to the cabin, laying in bed freezing that this would be a dream, not reality. Congratulations on this. I absolutely love the design and cannot wait to see how it looks when finished.

New to the channel and loving what I’m seeing - subscribed to see this a frame come together! Good luck!

This looks like a great cabin design! I look forward to seeing more videos about the build out and then how you are enjoying it when it’s all done!

Wow! Så spännande att följa detta Kalle 🌲😃🏡

Very good footage! I just stumbled upon your channel and I don’t regret it. Kalle, you are a very talented filmmaker! It is obvious that you know something about light, perspective and so on. Very much above average KZfaq videos. And having seen a few of your videos I started to really like you as a person, too. I don’t share all of your opinions, but you and your girlfriend are honest, decedent people and very likeable. We do live a very different life from the one you are living now, but I see why you do it. And we are currently remodelling an old house so I know about building and what it costs. I‘ve been to Sweden more than once, but never made it north of Uppsala. But you made me curious, so I will put visiting your area on my bucket list. I wish you very good luck with the new cabin and your life in the woods. Greetings from Germany!

Fab design, I look forward to seeing the space evolve . You're so very lucky to live in a country where land and homes like yours are affordable. Here in the South-East of England, living on land is an impossible dream sadly.

Please say you're putting a huge window at the end looking out at the trees because that shot looking through is just dreamy 🙏🏻

I appreciate your honesty, Kalle! Please tell us why you chose the design of an A-frame vs any regular cabin style. Can't wait to see the finished project!

The cabin looks absolutely awesome looking forward to Part 2!

Thanks for the video. This feels very welcoming and peaceful.

Watching this on Saturday morning sets me in such a great mood for the whole weekend. Thank you! I also got to admit I was baffled at first on how those glued on green pieces are enough to hold each A-piece together :P Can't wait for part 2!

The view will be amazing.

Looks A-mazing!

Looks likes it’s coming along great and what fun to help with the building of it. Good luck with it all.

The design is very interesting. The structure goes together fairly quickly but is substantial. It’s well insulated and the roof is steep so the snow will slide off easily. I’m going to look forward to seeing it completed. ❤❤

Commitment and fortitude. Great job in just a few days. “Many hand makes light work”. Thanks for sharing your life.

Really something special with the A-frame design, a mix between a stylish future and a Viking longhouse.

I learned many things in the past month about the swedish people and one things that always impresses me here is that they live with the weather. In Germany many people tend to be upset about the weather. Now that I got in touch the first time with -13°C I got even more respect for the people in this region.

Let’s do this, I’m going along with you for the ride and I’ll support you as we progress through this journey.

I would love to see you interview Dani Connor Wild. She bought a house in N. Sweden. A photographer who is try to save the indigenous red squirrels. She is just delightful.

You know what I like about listening to you, Kalle? On any kind of construction or car repair projects, most men would have gone into great detail about how thick the boards were and how long the screws had to be and how high off the ground the foundation had to be and how deep you had to dig to get it the right height. And any woman listening would have been gone in thirty seconds, if that's what you had concentrated on, and probably wouldn't be back. You keep a nice even keel of the things men would be interested in, and the things women would be interested in.

Thanks for sharing this video. I love how simple the construction seems when properly laid out and planned ahead of time. I love the look and simplicity of the A-Frame house. Keep up the great work and look forward to the continuation of this A-Frame.

So beautiful and peaceful

Wow. Just stumbled across your channel, but I love it already. What you do is so inspiring and beautiful. Keep on doing what you do. And your camera work is amazing btw. I’m really excited for the next episode. Keep on the good work, be blessed.

My wife said I should watch your video, so glad I did! Looking forward to seeing more.

Fascinating to see how they build the A-frame cabin. It’s like huge jigsaw puzzle. It’s going to be a peaceful and beautiful place. 💙❄️✨

This is So inspiring. Yes,spread the word.

What an interesting build. Sausages looked good, what a great idea for a hot lunch!!

Absolutely wonderful!

SO TRANQUIL YET SO INTERESTING

WOW dreams do come true - but not without a lot of hard work and oh have you worked hard Kalle towards your dream. Feeling your excitement on your new work cabin it reminded me of a little plaque/saying I bought my younger brother who took a risk -just like you when you left your life in Stockholm and bought your cabin - ´BUT WHAT IF I FALL .... OH BUT MY DARLING ......WHAT IF YOU FLY.´. You flew Kalle - congratulations delighted for both you and Christina. X

This a-frame hous looks amazing 🤩

I loved the beautiful wintery snow covered trees… that will be an awesome workspace.

Looking forward to see the inside when finished.

I feel like I am listening to conversations that could have been occurring in Scandanavia back in 800 ad. when I hear you speaking Swedish and hauling those timbers through the snow.

Congratulations on your new space. Looks wonderful!

Looking good 👍 I Love the look of A-Frames ❤

GREAT START to the build!!!!

Thank you for such a great video! It´s really interesting to see how simple building can be...! I know there´s a lot of work behind camera, but in the end... It´s just an A frame... And it looks GREAT!

Love the compressed pre-fab Lams... excellent idea.. and what strength!!! So easy to set up multiple rafters... much lighter... easy to maneuver Why didnt you stagger seams on the roof? Nice to have FRIENDS :) Thanks for sharing Many Blessings IM SPARTACVS!
