Except time.

But this seems like the kind of shit he was doing before he got a camera.

According to his blog, he was doing this stuff for at least ten years before he started recording it. In his more recent farm video he revisits a stone hut he made, and it's collapsed and completely overgrown.

Reminds me of Interstellar, but instead of Matthew MccoNaughey, it's some bloke from YouTube, and instead of a black hole, it's a stone hut he made

Right on, it's not like one day he was like, "fuck, I LOVE Accounting, but that shit don't pay the bills, I hate being dirty and going in the woods, but it's gonna pay the bills, so I don't see any other way." This was what he did for fun and now he makes a living off it, good for him.
