Forest service log house building help.

[41Dude]

The lumberjack video reminded me.
Years ago, I saw a video from the same era. It was showing a couple of forest service employees building a log cabin with axes. A real pleasure to watch guys use an axe that really know what they are doing. Felling trees, squaring them up, notching. (not sure of the correct words)
I have tried to find videos like that again, but I must be using the wrong search terms.
Any help to locate the videos will be appreciated Thanks+++

Watched a video some time back when put out by Disney many many years ago about a guy who decided to build a cabin up on the 'tundra' out back of Alaska and then spend the Winter there... it was done in 16mm by him with him doing a later voice over ... seems once the guy got his cabin built in that one 'Summer' 3 months he not only spent the next Winter there but stayed for the rest of his life. Once I get through doing my end of the year numbers for my business, I might try to look for it.

That would be great. I think I saw the same vid long ago. A lot of snow and snowshoes. He made some amazing large bowls out of (I think) maple burl.

Here's a search link for the complete movie, along with various others along the same lines. (Some good, some not so good)
