這所房子將幫助你在山上生存-我做了一個地下室，安裝了窗戶，護套天花板-山上的小屋

For two days straight, snow has been continuously burying the entire area. We are hurrying to haul out of the depths of the forest a centuries-old windbreak. larch Have to make it in time while the road is still passable with the log skidder. This homemade hitching device was made specifically for transporting large logs. A simple structure, welded from rectangular steel tubing. On one side, the hitch that attaches to the towbar, on the other U-shaped frame with two wheels. This larch was girdled many years ago, but exactly when? and whom we do not know. But it is perfectly clear that this was done a long time ago. After many years, she had completely dried up. The lifeless trunk had stood rooted until recently. until the wind knocked him down. A notch is a special cut in wood. They are pruning it just above the root all around the circumference. the trunk and wait several months until the wood will dry completely. Then they are piled up and transported for further processing. The one who pruned this tree clearly forgot about it. Well, we won't let good things go to waste. A certain sequence of actions allows one to lift and secure the heavy logs without using lifting equipment mechanisms. Place the log roller in the center above the log and set it down. vertically so that the U-shaped frame contacts it. Pass the chain under the log and into the special Insert the links into the eyelets. The log handler started moving, transferring from vertical to horizontal position. Place in the horizontal position. Thus, together with the U-shaped frame, the log is also lifted. How much more accurately the log can be hung toward the center in a U-shaped the lighter the frame, the easier it is to lift its other end as well Secure with a chain. The return journey will be:true The center of gravity, that is, the log, is much higher up wheel axles With such a load, the log carrier is extremely unstable. On a slippery road and deep snow, he easily It might turn over, but not in any other way. It's getting dark before my eyes. Local hares are preparing for winter and changing their gray fur to white. red-and-white Winter came into the forest silently, covering the trees and the ground. with a dense layer of first snow, the air became crystalline freshness, and the impassable more often resonant silence. The quiet snowy taiga is shrouded in darkness. Just a couple of days ago, the picture of the forest was completely different. In winter, there wasn't even a smell. The scent of autumn hung everywhere. The dry grass stood upright, and the male deer followed I call to nature, seeking a partner. During this period, they are extremely aggressive and dangerous. They might attack not only their own kind to deter not only from their own females, but also from humans. And even a camera trap can be struck by horns. Footage of the moose's violent attack on our camera we have shown In the previous video, we were extremely happy that that evening We didn't go to check it. Winter comes quickly and without warning to these parts. But it can also leave just as quickly the very next day. In the morning, clear skies, a light frost on the cheeks, and by noon It's already overcast and the temperature is significantly above zero. On this side of the mountain, there is a small ledge, and it is blocked by rocks. It is sheltered on three sides and does not get blown by the wind. This pass between the cliffs is like a portal to another world, passing through it through it you get to the other side of the mountain, where A gust of wind hits me in the face immediately, and boundless vistas unfold. vast spaces Such fickle weather is a severe test. for the roof, and she easily passes through them, otherwise Not here at all. If there is even one weak point, the entire system will become vulnerable. the house, and under the weight of weather conditions, it will quickly disappear In the story of the past, but this will not happen. The frame is solidly built, the roof is sturdy, only remaining to reinforce. foundation, but first the remaining parts under the roof need to be removed I'll use the boards after installing this roof. for the subsequent installation of the subfloor. The local landscapes and the location of the house itself necessitate rationally utilize the space around it, presence A semi-basement room next to the cottage would be excellent. a place for storing tools or firewood, or perhaps both and the other one too, since there will be more than enough space there. The walls of the room will be built from stone; they will be part of foundation The door opening will be formed by two vertical columns. This wood, from dry larch, is not afraid of moisture. Poles can be placed directly on the ground without any treatment. The height of the door opening will turn out to be small, so You will need to bow when entering the semi-basement room. hut. In such a situation, with firewood in hand or a tool It is easier to enter or exit through a wide opening. Fifty centimeters between the posts is too little; movements are restricted. will not unfold. A 70-centimeter passage is more comfortable, such as this one. I'll leave him as he is. Weather changes surprise not only me. The young moose turns its head from side to side as if waiting an answer from anyone who could guide me to the right path. Whether to go upward, where in spring it warms up the fastest Warm rays of sunlight reach, and the first green appears. grass, whether downward, where green lingers the longest in autumn Rap's. On the first crown, I make a small platform from the bottom to increase the area. The contact with the vertical log was greater. This will increase the stability of the log. Wooden posts that will form the door opening They will bear only a small portion of the total mass of the house. The main burden will fall on the stones. It is still a more durable material, even in comparison. with larch I don't know how long this little hut will last. And I don't exclude that over the years it might sag by a couple of inches centimeters And if it happens that after the passage of years the pillars It will still have to be replaced; there must be a possibility This is easy to do, as the attachment to the log wall must be flat, not in a bowl. The stone in the soil prevents installing the second post. in the right place Slightly digging, starting to loosen it, striking it by another stone, the resulting hole turned out to be too large deep. The height of the prepared log is insufficient. Small stones help restore balance. The upper part of the columns will be rigidly fixed by construction. parentheses Drive two on each side, so that each one The clamp pulled toward itself. Such a fixation is extremely reliable and will not allow the log even to move from one place Install a crossbeam below, between the posts; it will prevent They move toward each other, which is quite plausible. What might happen if I keep pressing stones on them Laid in the foundation. For the foundation, I primarily use stones, which I can easily reach from under the house. Thus, I am fulfilling the main task and increasing the depth. of the future basement floor However, on such a small patch, one can only reach small stones Larger stones now have to be taken from higher up the slope. It is precisely they who form the main outline of the foundation, while the minor details Fills the voids. At nightfall, boars are moving along a well-worn trail toward the field. They know that on this field, almost every day is magical. food, bread, chocolate, grain, and even They have no idea that this is magic from the work of their own hands. weight One of the camera traps is positioned right in the field, and it triggers when activated. A bright light turned on and frightened the boars. Despite their imposing size, they swiftly scattered. across the field A real football team. The forester's house is the place we return to after a heavy day We spend the evenings by the little fire, sipping a cup of tea, and sometimes afterward For the main dinner, I especially like to prepare something special. A light on the fire. Today we will have cheese-filled bread rolls. Toast bread would be best for this recipe. The crust is removed, and the crumb should be mashed or rolled out. a rolling pin A fist will do as well. Cheese is best sliced into small pieces and Spread evenly from one edge. Then carefully roll it up, so as not to break the crumb in a tube. Bread can be replaced with puff pastry; it will not be Less tasty. It all depends on personal preferences. Bread sticks with filling are fried in moderate amounts. until golden brown. Must be cooked over low heat so that the cheese inside has time to melt. melt The fire's glow flickers on the logs, the flames dance and sway. Amidst the night's emptiness, the scent of frying lingers in the air. bread. A crispy bread roll can be a standalone dish. dish. A simple recipe, and most importantly, delicious. Perfectly complements herbal tea in the evening or A refreshing coffee morning. But if you add a fried egg to these rolls, the flavor will come alive. with new colors. I recommend eating it while hot, while the cheese is still molten inside. roulette Wag the yolk thoroughly and bite off immediately. And inside the house, it's warm and cozy. Before going to bed, you can read a book while the fire crackles. In our forest library among thousands of books you can Find stories from seasoned taiga dwellers, advice from experienced carpenters and a multitude of delicious recipes from the forest kitchen. Between night and morning there are minutes when one can See the birth of a new day. Minutes of dawn. He comes from the east. In these moments, the dark taiga fills with colors. and the sounds of life. My day begins with getting up and dragging stones. from place to place On the right side, the foundation has already been built all the way to the passage. to the ground floor. The work continues on the left side. On the slope above the shed, a heap of stones lies on the surface. Here you can find stones of any size. First, I push them down, and then, depending on either their size, or I carry them in my hands, or I contour them below. This method of movement conserves energy and enables Work longer without stopping for rest. Along with the roof, the foundation will determine which How many years will the little house stand? And in the fact that she stands precisely here, on the rocky outcrops lies in a significant advantage. Hard as a solid rock, covered only by a small layer of soft soil Its thickness exceeds 2 centimeters in rare places. That means the foundation of the iceberg will never sink. deeper than those very 2 centimeters. After the sun and wind have quickly dried the logs and will prevent mold from forming. On a clear day, the sun illuminates the southern side of the ridge. Throughout the entire day. It heats up noticeably more on the north side. However, the wind almost always blows from the south. This will undoubtedly have a positive effect on preservation. log cabin The foundation has acquired its basic features. The walls will remain within these boundaries from the inside, that's how it will turn out. Maximize storage space for belongings. I will continue expanding outward. But already now one can confidently say that the house is nowhere. It won't budge. The log cabin will be well-ventilated through the gaps between the stones. and from below. Thanks to the wide roof overhangs, the ground floor is reliably Protected against heavy sideways rain. A thin layer of soil covering the rocky terrain Unable to hold water on its surface for a long time. Even after heavy downpours, there are no streams here. waters that could seep under the house from above A chain of footprints on the snow. She weaves between the trees, walking through clearings. A single track of a large animal crosses the tracks Less. They go left, then right. Elk, roe deer, and boars are actively living here. At this time, every one of their movements is visible on the snow. If you follow the trail of the beast, there's every chance of unraveling it. this chain and see him in person. Forest giants particularly love fresh aspen bark. They are ready to feed on her year-round. Easily locate fallen trees or branches, even under the snow And in spring, when the aspen is at its sap, even by the ears Can't resist such a tempting treat. Not far from the hut lives a mink. I am very pleased with such a neighbor. This predatory little creature feeds, among other things, on rodents. which can cause a lot of trouble in daily life. This weasel has settled down somewhere here, in the thickets. Every night she goes out from there and returns to the same place. At dawn. Now I know that my home is under reliable protection. Not even a mouse could slip past such security. Larch, hauled out of the forest several days ago back, already dismantled on the board. It is them I am currently bringing to the hut. Today it took me longer to get here than usual. The culprit is the roads blurred by warming temperatures. The loaded trailer was submerged in a thick mass of mud. and wet snow, which significantly reduced the speed. A narrow path uphill became covered with a thin layer a crust of ice I risk slipping and sliding down with a clatter. With the boards back down. What I would least of all want. Otherwise, it will mean I'll be lifting the same thing twice. the same boards. That is not very rational. This short ascent was successful. A well-trodden path leads further northward on the northern side. to the passage between the cliffs The mountain's mood is already discernible as one approaches it. On the southern side, it is windy, sunny, and brighter. and colorful. The rays of the sun spread orange hues across the entire Woe. The texture of larch in these rays appears especially Beautiful. It radiates warmth and coziness. That is precisely why I decided to use it for the cladding. ceiling A major advantage was that the wood was absolutely dry. Boards with a thickness of 15 millimeters are very light. I can easily hang the ceiling by myself. The sun is swiftly descending below the horizon. A moment passes, and night descends upon the forest. The Earth's crust turns, yet it seems as if the stars do. They drift down the river. What happiness, that this bright current will soon be mine You will be able to observe life right from the window of a warm home. There are minutes between night and morning. Minutes of a beautiful dawn. Ceiling cladding boards are rounded, however, their width It differs at the ends. Such a board format when they are not perfectly flat in my opinion, it would blend more harmoniously with timber beam. Fix the first row of boards with spacing between them. The size of the gap is determined by the width of the board that will lie second layer on top of the first. It should be laid down with a slight overlap. Despite the monotonous nature of the work, which amounts to in order to cut the boards to size and attach them I enjoy this process with my self-tapping screws. The improvements are immediately apparent. The ulcer is transforming. With each nailed board, that day draws nearer, when I fire up the stove here and stay to watch over under a starry sky, comfortably settled on a lounge chair. By evening I completely sewed one side, hurrying to start the second But not because time is running short, but because I want to see how the larch on the ceiling of the house will shimmer in the rays of the setting sun At this time, rabbits astonishingly adapt themselves around the surrounding nature. As long as the earth is not completely covered with snow, neither are they They change their color only partially. This helps them hide better from predators. Rabbit sweat glands are located on the footpads. paw Therefore, when the animal is lying down, predators cannot find it. by its smell. When combined with a camouflage pattern, they become virtually invisible The lynx has the greatest chance of catching a hare among predators. She has sharp hearing and immense patience, which helps her stay in ambush until the right moment arrives moment Today I was lucky enough to photograph the forest during daytime. 24 hours Usually, these beautiful and graceful heroines in many fairy tales behave nocturnal lifestyle, as confirmed by numerous Footage with photos of traps. At night, they hunt small rodents. At night, when the forest is silent, everything is much clearer to hear. Movement through snow and grass. This fox, in search of prey, dashed out into the open plains. fields She obviously did not expect the appearance of a strange, unfamiliar person to her birds That is why her actions are slightly uncertain. Some birds pose a serious threat to her. That is why she runs glancing back beneath the tree canopies. How skillful her movements are. And here, it seemed, she heard rustling beneath the snow, froze. tries to focus on the hunt and doesn't miss A strange bird caught my attention above my head. Torturous seconds of waiting, and... the fox retreated into forest There, no bird will disturb her, and she will be able to calmly continue their hunt. The cladding of the second half of the ceiling is nearing completion. The most time is spent on adjusting the board, first put in place, check if there is no without misalignment, and then secure. Moving inside, traversing makeshift scaffolding assembled from planks and scraps of USB board laid on the roof. At first glance, the design may seem rather unimpressive. reliable. And it is indeed true. However, more serious inventions require materials. Stronger and a bit more time for their creation. Inspired by the fox's grace, by its smooth and precise movements, I Moving smoothly, I step onto the board without sudden movements. And never once stumbled. Small gaps remaining at the junctions boards to the ridge beam and wall plate, for aesthetic purposes I'll close the rope. I'll do that after installing the windows. Window installation is scheduled for tomorrow. There will be a width of 2 meters on both the left and right sides of the window. one meter fifty-five A front window measuring one meter sixty in width and the same the same height as the sides. But one person alone can't handle this job. And I won't even be able to lift them up here. I need an entire team. Our forest friends relentless responded to the call for help. You're familiar with many of them from our previous videos. Six people are hauling one window at a time. One person pulls from the front, another pushes from behind. And two people from each side using ropes carry on their shoulders. The most difficult obstacle is the narrow passage between the cliffs. You need to be very careful not to damage the window. Two people are preparing a window opening. Align the edge, make notches on the log, so that in the future Prepare the site with an axe. Windows are to be installed directly on the log wall, without additional installation. of a wooden frame A small gap will be left on the edges since The log will not move in the horizontal plane. Moreover, the clearance from above will be at least 5 centimeters. It's made for the settling of the logs, and settling will occur even so. for the simple reason that a layer of moss between the rims It will dry out and lose volume. Given the fickle weather in these parts and the strongest gusts of wind, the most rational solution would be to install already manufactured in size plastic double-chamber windows Along with installing windows, it is no less important to make the moss between the rims, this will help reduce in the future heat loss and prevent drafts. I'll make a primitive tool from a small piece of wood. something resembling a spatula. The billet should be free of knots, as it will be easier to work with. process On one side, I shape the handle with an axe, on the other The broad part of which is shaped by shaving with a knife. A pointed trowel is extremely convenient for doing this job. It will easily reach all the way to the very joint of the logs. and if there's even the slightest gap between them, moss under the weight of this simple tool and muscular The force will be pressed there. Moderate blade width helps make this quite easy promptly By the time spring arrives, the moss will have slightly dried out. under the weight of logs, roof, and snow. It may be necessary to provide additional information in some places. caulk Mood swings of the weather, long transitions, and all sorts of other tests for footwear related to life in the forest, without proper Without care for her, they won't leave her a chance to survive longer than one season. Ichiki is one of my favorite shoe pairs. Outer layer made of durable leather, and fleece inside. Walking in them through the forest is a pleasure. Convenient, warm, and reliable. They won't break on the first twig they encounter, and very much so They keep the feet warm well. But just like any leather footwear, water is their worst enemy. great enemy Our ancestors treated such footwear with animal fat, The best was considered to be bear fat. They say that after being processed, they can be used in leather boots We had to cross the rivers on foot, and our feet remained dry. We are lucky that we can make use of this knowledge. our ancestors, tested in practice countless times. The most important areas for processing are the seams. They deserve special attention. The skin itself becomes more oily after being treated with oil. soft and flexible, thus more comfortable to wear. These boots won't be worn out now. The weather has once again blessed us with heavy snowfalls. and fresh winds. The hut is being buried by snow. Snow lies on the roof, beats against the windows, but it can't get inside anymore. to miss The windows in the openings were secured in place with wedges. The insulating material between the frame and the log wall served as construction foam Now one can take shelter from the rain in this house. Gusts of wind crash against the walls and blow inside. just a gentle breeze. So it's quite comfortable here already. At least it's definitely better than being outside in bad weather. For ease of window installation, two temporary supports were installed. Pits, and boards on them. At this level, the floor will be laid in this hut. I will be able to stand upright even against the wall, where It is the lowest point from the floor to the ceiling. The view from the windows is breathtaking. A valley rich in abundant forest resources. Mountains and distant horizons beckoning one to embark on new adventures horizon The mountains are covered with snow. Now he will only descend in spring. I managed to do everything on time. There are tasksaura generating can have an impact. Here, upon seeing everything that surrounds me, there arises A special feeling of freedom. An unusual feeling. The feeling of boundlessness. It causes a light and pleasant excitement. Makes the heart beat stronger. Breathe deeply, from which rapid onset occurs hunger Today I'll make hot meat and cheese sandwiches. Hearty and quick. Poultry meat would be best. I prefer turkey thigh fillet. It's moderately fatty and very tasty. I chop it into pieces and fry it in a pan until cooked. Spices are always to taste and to mood. Black pepper, white pepper, cumin, mustard seeds, and salt. Then a couple of rye bread slices are fried until crispy. bits The meat is placed on the toasted side, along with a generous slice of cheese. Back on the pan and cover with two cutting boards. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes. It's getting cold. It's the perfect time to eat some hot food and drink some hot koukou. tea For safety reasons, I made it on the northern side Mountains. This is the most suitable place for him here. No wind. And moreover, the rock reflects the light of the fire, illuminating this Piglet There will be no open flame near the house. In winter, I'll prepare culinary masterpieces on the stove, and This summer, I plan to build a stone outdoor oven. A little hut imbued with immense power and all one's soul a tiny, cozy flame flickers in the vastness in the vastness of the twilight taiga, like a guiding light A star in the blue night sky. She is exactly that to me. I know I can spend time here in silence, in solitude. enjoy the views, prepare delicious food, and most importantly, invite people close to me, so that together with them I may share All of this. Friends, I would be extremely grateful if you shared this a story about my little hut in the mountains with friends, you'll set it up thumbs up and write a kind comment, your Support is very important to me. Well, it was us – the Forest Folk – with you. Goodbye, friends, everyone! See you later!
