So we have a mill and a cabin with solar panels. But the water situation is not very good. I used to take drinking water from the creek but that was not great.
Then i found a spring that had much better water but it dried out in summer.
In this episode I will dig a drystone well. I will use the solar panels to pump the water to the cabin.

Lazy Creek is located in southern Sweden with no access by road. In January 2021 the forest was dense and just walking through it was difficult.
First step to get my cabin up there was to build a primitive shelter so that I could cook and rest.

Second step was to set up a sawmill and get the tools in order so that I could make the building process more manageable.

Then we built the platform for this cabin.

FAQ:
What is that machine?
Its a mini forwarder called Oxen, made by Myrebäck Maskin in Sweden. I don’t have any contacts to the manufacturer as I got mine used. I’m sorry.
What is that back hoe?
Its called Digger and is also Swedish made. It was built to dig on its own, but the previous owner mounted it to the Oxen.

Her name is Cake and she’s an amstaff-mix.
What are you doing?
