Is there any good channels that are about building log houses from start to finish?

This guy is doing that: https://m.youtube.com/user/nikrijavec

I've only watched the two hour compilation of the first year, but I think he has a lot more videos that are probably more in depth.

I've watched every one of his videos ... at least out of the corner of my eye. The length of these videos and the small amount of talking makes them somehow relaxing.

Check out Alone in the Wilderness by Dick Proenneke. In the late 1960s he filmed himself building a cabin in Alaska and wrote a journal, which his brother later made into a film. Most or all of the film is on YouTube.

Not a log house technically, but same kind of build own home in middle of nowhere type concept.

Kris Harbour does some excellent videos about off grid living. This playlist is his wood and cob round house. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEZ2hvCDKUpGMDn5qUGzf...

Townsend is a 18th century cooking channel but just recently built a wood cabin: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxr2d4As312LulcajAkKJYw

Advoko makes is a guy who has a cabin he's been building in I believe somewhat remote Siberia. https://www.youtube.com/c/Advoko

Ana White did the whole series few years ago about building a little cabin somewhere in Alaska for their family. Lately she does more fine woodworking on her site and YT channel, but also super interesting stuff.

Oh man, that's the dream house
