About the event

Log Cabin Course

Summer 2024

Four days covering the basics of starting a log cabin and the details of the "Norwegian Notch"

Everything will take place at our wilderness lodge. To get here we will drive you by boat along the Sask River to our home.  Enjoy a stay in one of our cozy rustic cabins. All meals provided. We have spent generations living on the land, building our homes with the resources in our backyards. This is our opportunity to share our knowledge gathering through the years on how to live on the land, off-grid, and building log homes. 

Your instructors are:

Michela Carriere for Chainsaw safety and basics. She is the owner/operator of Aski, with a lifetime of living in the woods.

Solomon Carriere for Logging and notch basics. He is Cree- Metis with a lifetime of experience hunting, fishing, and building cabins in the bush with minimal tools.

Léo Claret for Construction, logging, engineering, hand tools, and more. Leo is a trained civil engineer, spending years in Norway learning traditional Norwegian methods of building homes. He is a dedicated and talented construction worker.

These four days we will cover Safety, Logging, Planning, peeling, log selection, and making notches.
