Rock and Roll Barbecue BBQ | The Forest Kitchen | Off Grid Log Cabin Build, Ep.5 S1

Description

The most difficult part of building the forest kitchen this week was digging up and moving heavy rocks into place to build the off grid stone barbecue near the log cabin.

The heaviest of the stones was easily over three hundred pounds so I needed to use levers to roll them into place. Because this is one of the first times I've built anything out of stone, I'm using a slipform technique similar to the method used by the Neerings on their off-grid homestead in the mid 1900s.What I learn building this simple barbecue will be invaluable once I start the next cabin - a workshop/shed/guest cabin that I'll build into the hill alongside the driveway using stone, cordwood, horizontal logs and other natural materials.

In the second half of the video, I talk about the unfortunate disconnect from nature in today's society. We've been taught to conquer nature rather than live with it, and I show examples of the nature that I interact with. After that section, my, Joe Robinet, Doug Outside and Drenalin Adventures paddle into the backcountry of Algonquin Park to fish for brook (speckled) trout.

there's a lot of credit given to the need for humanity to create order where there's chaos and to overcome nature and I think it's unfortunate because I think what that's done has created this alienation between us as humans and the natural environment considering it more of something to be overcome or something to control and to put into such an order that it doesn't make us uncomfortable and I think that's a real shame I think we're losing out on what our true nature is we live from the Sun the energy of the Sun through the plants and the animals and up the food chain to ourselves and we breathe this air that we need to protect we drink this water that that's behind me we tend to not give enough respect to it these days because we fear it we have been told that it's something to conquer to control nature to eliminate the Predators eliminate the risks out there and it's unfortunate because we end up destroying our planet destroying our home destroying our fresh water our clean air you know our atmosphere we disrespect our forests we clear-cut and we organize them when we reduce diversity this globalization has created this sort of monoculture get everything from values to behaviors to places that we live and the ways we interact with one another and what nature it's becoming homogenized and that's unfortunate because we need that diversity not just spiritually but physically you know I'm fortunate to live in a country and an inner province where we still have access to to a lot of nature to these lakes and rivers and and forests and fields and all these things that we can interact with but I know that's not the case everywhere in fact it's dwindling everywhere including here it it's becoming more more difficult to access these areas and especially to preserve them in their natural state so that we're able to enjoy what that diversity and breed that fresh air the silence is another thing that I've never really talked much about but part of why we chose this property is we found that it was on a dead-end road with only a couple of other permanent residents and then surrounded by nothing but public land that's undeveloped and real wilderness I'm talking not just a parkland so these areas are very very silent especially at certain times of the year like in the winter there is no sound other than what you hear from nature I don't think we realized that we there's this underlying stress as anxiety created by that constant noise that's out there that fills our ears and fills the air with the vibrations of those noises to get out into nature and to experience real silence or real just natural sounds it's unbelievably stress relieving and that's unfortunate not everybody can experience that I hope everybody I hope every one of you can experience that that someday at some point in your life and if you can make it a habit if you can make it a lifestyle even better but like I said I realize I'm fortunate to live where I am and I'm fortunate I guess that I've been able to find my passion and they be able to make this the focus of my life to make this the top priority you know when I'd say top priority that's no no slight to my family because they understand that in order for me to be a good father a good husband and a good brother and a good son I need to be healthy and happy so this is what I do this is what I do to find my nature [Music]
