I Spent 3 Years Alone Building A Log Cabin

When I was 17 I became tired of living in Stockholm Sweden. I didn’t connect with people and sought something bigger in life. I became obsessed with the idea of just packing a rucksack and wondering off into the vast forest of Sweden to create my own life, living off the land and build a log cabin. My Grandparents owned forest so I spent more and more time with them over weekends and such, wondering out and dreaming of my obsession. When I turned 18 I told everyone of my plans and I received a gopro camera from my parents, so I could at least film some of my adventures. I hadn’t thought about filming anything but I did so. And that basically became this film. I later on also became very passionate about filming, accumulating better gear. I filmed and edited everything myself.
