hey guys thanks again for watching I hope you enjoyed that one as you know I've been building cabin on a friend's property which is great and I'm just finally getting it off the ground making some progress got a logs cut problem is ran into a bit of a snag I got so excited doing that project and and thinking about the future and all the other things I want to do with bushcraft and no doors and survival people that I've been mentoring and the people that have been buying my courses online and benefiting from from the for my self-reliance teaching but what I was missing is a place to do that so last couple of weeks my wife and I have a searching for property in Ontario Canada we finally found the perfect piece of property to do just that so we bought 20 acres up near Algonquin Park backs on two miles and miles of Crown land there's water lots of water nearby lakes rivers places the paddle places to explore lots of animals and some great trees and some great land to build them build another cabin and to teach workshops on various things like bushcraft survival other self anything to do with self-reliance including a back to the to my financial basics with the self-reliance of financial education so I'm excited to have that property I think it's a great opportunity for not just myself and my wife and my dog my kids but also for anybody who wants to come in and take courses for me in person so I really appreciate it they're not asking for commitment I just wondering if you guys wouldn't mind commenting below and just letting me know what you think I should be teaching at my workshops and in teaching at this is self-reliance school essentially so a great thing about this property it's it's vacant land so I've got twenty acres of forest that I can build anything I want so I'm going to start by building a new log cabin so that was what I was so that's what the title is referring to I'm going to not abandon this existing project but I'm going to be distracted by new projects on the property so I'll finish this cabin as quickly as I can and one that you're seeing in this video and then I'm going to get up north and start working on me on the cabin great big fire pit that we can all gather around tell stories and and play music and so on and in any other shelter so I'm looking for advice on what you'd like to see me build or what you'd like to come up and help me build on the property what workshops you think I should be putting on what I should be teaching people and anything else any other comments you have on the property I'd really appreciate it if I can get your feedback so thanks again for watching guys I hope you're going to tune in for the rest of the series I hope you're going to help me out with this big project thanks again and I'll see you in the next video [Music]
