Those look pretty good man.
Either of those locations would make for easy cabin building. There are a couple log construction techniques that don't require you to maneuver around 20 foot long logs.
You can go vertical, only need a log that's wall height, 7, 8 or 9 feet.
You can also do short log construction
These make it very feasible for one man to assemble a good cabin of their land with little material costs. If I were to take this on, my preference would be get an Alaskan Sawmill and mill at least 2 sides of the logs to take out all the fitting and most the chinking costs and time.
This is how the Finns do it. Some serious axe-wielding skills on display.
Do Swedes like Finns? I know very little about that country, other than their defeat of a Russian invading force in WW2. Is it a decent place to live?
We generally like the Finns. Finland used to be half of Sweden. It's our brother nation. We never fought each other. When I was growing up there was a lot of dislike towards them because of the immigration. We have an open border policy between each other and a lot of Finlanders came over here to get jobs or use our superior social benefits. That's over now. We are on the same level economically as Finland finally recovered from the wars and it's reparations to the Soviet Union. The Finnish immigrants are fully integrated.
The people of Finland are called Finlanders. Most Finlanders are Finns but about 6% are Swedes and the country is bilingual. A bit like the French in Canada. Finland is mostly forests and lakes. The big towns are along the coast. In some ways, it's like Sweden turned up to 11 but there are a couple of big differences. Finland is a lot more hierarchical and conservative and not as open to outsiders. The strong men are matched by the strength of their women. That's the stereotype at least.
I grew up in the town in Sweden with the largest Finnish immigrant population so I know them well. Also, a lot of my ancestors were Forest Finns. They were brought over to Sweden from Finland during the late 16th and early-to-mid-17th centuries to break new ground and help increase the population of northern Sweden. Finland was getting overpopulated and there were famines due to the Little Ice Age. Sweden had a lot of unpopulated lands suitable for their traditional slash-and-burn agriculture. Hard working, honest and proud people. A good addition. When the Iron industry got going up there a lot of them got into that as well.

It’s powerful. The stuff our ancestors went through. How about giving the new batch off immigrants the same opportunity. A patch of forest land and no taxes for 7 years if they farm it. That or go home.
