The construction work of the houses will be done jointly with local craftsmen. Due to the fact, as young people leave northern Sweden for the industrial south, our offering is appreciated by the local people. The shortage of skilled helpers and builders will be reduced by us.
That is the beauty, you do not need to have special skills in order to be part of the group. However, if you are motivated to work with your hands everything turns fine. We get support from skilled local craftsmen, they will instruct us how to work. If something is done wrong, don’t mind, there will be another chance to do it. We’ll make it work at the end, one way or another.
You are free to choose how much you would like to work. However, we would appreciate your helping hands half-day. You will experience a unique way of relaxation even with some sore muscles in the evening. The joint construction and renovation work will allow you to sort your thoughts and will provide new inspiration for your regular job or your life.

We are starting with our offering in 2018. In order to build enough housing possibilities in Hukanmaa for returning customers, we need 2 to 3 years construction time. This is the simple reason for the waiting period we apply.
When returning with your family or some close friends, you can stay with us free of charge for the duration of your original stay. Two weeks of work allows for 2 weeks to reside in Hukanmaa in a Lone Wolf house for your leisure.
Around Hukanmaa, there are various possibilities for unique activities. Before unpacking the fishing rod, floating down the Lainio river, hiking the forest, unleash the sleddogs or starting the snowmobiles, you can show your loved ones the markings in the buildings you have worked in. Hukanmaa is also the perfect spot for traveling to explore the beautiful nature of the Lofoten islands, to experience the sparse vegetation of the Swedish mountains, to do a trip to the North Cape or even to the russian border close to Kirkenes.
In all buildings, we will have a board where we mark and document all people who joined us during the construction time. With this, also your work will be remembered. The buildings themselfs will remain in the posession of Lone Wolf and will be used for returning Lone Wolf guests as well as for local usage when needed.
In the long term, the professionally renovated and rebuilt houses will last for another 5 generations or so. What the people in 150 or 200 years will do with the them remains a speculation. The pride of what you have built with your own hands and the certitude will remain with you forever.
