Hello Shawn, been watching from the first video. Your struggles are real and please do not edit them out. It makes you so relatable. Your preserverance is amazing. Letting people who want to help, help you is not such a bad thing. Carry on brother! Watching from the other side of our big country!

Ignorance is a matter of what you can afford. Clearly you have more money or you would have taken more precautions with the boat. At this point I encourage you to look at how long it will take to replace the boat in hours of your time... then sit down with a blank book and spend a week making notes about fundamental things like... fire wood.... access in and out.... theft of your stuff if you come back and it is gone. I have lived year round where you are... river access. No matter what you do something always gets the boat... a bear smashes it about smelling fish, a tree falls on ... a porcupine eats the primer bulb.. you hit a rock where there was no rock yesterday .. and yes some times a fk ing azz hole will come by and just let it go down river as he is jealous of what you have. The point of all the notes is have a fundamental plan but have a back up plan for when the original plan goes to shit. If you do not have the back up plan ( a canoe, buried food and guns, three days of dry cloths) in place and safe as gold then it is not if you die out there it is when. OH and rubber bullets are for people that have a big mouth. If you shoot a bear with one he is going to get so pissed you are really going to wish you had thought that one through..... double ot buck, double ot buck, slug. is the loads you need dont stop shooting until it stops moving. If you are looking at a bear 30 yards or less and yell at it and it will not go away get closer and shoot it. A bear that is not scared of humans is not a bear you can live with out there. fwiw. real support is not usually what you want to hear. It is what you need to hear to get to where you are going. keep living the dream... there is nothing more worth living for.

You have the best you tube channel. Your perseverance is amazing.

Pull the plug sorry

Your videos are great. Btw, if you lull the boat plug while in motion it will suck all the water out of the boat in seconds! You are a good carpenter.

Forget the cable and save up and get a new motor for the STUPID BOAT. Love your channel Dude.

Man I can just feeeel your frustration through the screen. But as others have mentioned you really have made a lot of progress, maybe not on the things you had planned or wanted to, but it don't mean those other things don't count. You're doing great 🤠

Another awesome video. Sorry you're having so much to deal with. Please stock up on canned food and dried non perishables. If you get snowed in you're gonna need food. From South Africa you Stay Safe 🌍🇿🇦💌🙏🙏👍

Fantastic video Shawn. My wifi was down due to the storms here. I don't understand why some people spew out so much hate. I'd call it ENVY coz they are living boring lives. Anyhoo have you thought about building a bamboo bridge @ the narrowest point from riverbank to the next. Bamboo is cheaper & I'm currently watching a few Vietnamese vids. These folks are geniuses. Happy Belated Birthday Shawn & keep on truckin 🌍🇿🇦💌🙏👍

I'm sure you get a thousand messages weekly about our ideas on what we believe you should do. Make sure you don't get to bothered by others opinions. My suggestion this week is set up a go fund me page. Not for any one thing but in general something we can help you along side the utube income that's obviously not enough. Thanks for the effort you put in on making content for us all. D

i would check the key way under your fly wheel IF thats worn it could be moveing in and out of time

When it rains it pours. Keep going. Hip hip hurray!!😊🎉

Shawn , you really should start stocking non perishable food and getting wood ready . It's not a matter of if you get stuck, on the property in the wint3r , it's a matter of when . When the snow starts staying , it will come fast and lots of it , and it will hit -30 at least this winter .

That clothing looks like exactly what you need. Tough and built for cold and miserable weather.

Head up. Always moving forward.

Looking at the interior for your small cabin, just an idea, Pallets... We used a lot of good pallets in our 2nd hand store as racking and shelving, once sanded down, the timber was great. If you varnished them as well with the nail holes, it would be rather rustic and cheap too. Just a thought

Shawn, can you create a floating dock to protect the boat during high water? And tie the boat to as well?

You better be stockpiling a lot of food for a winter where you may or may not be able to cross that river!

Unsolicited advice: I'd have built on higher ground. With the unpredictable weather being generated, best to err on the side of. Wishing you all the best.

You’re such a garage engineer without the garage. Stay up. You are killin it even with pivots you have to make. You roll with it and set a great example to all us dreamers. You are a true adventurer.

Enjoyed your video excellent content.cheers

How long is that hike on the trail you have to take

My Favoriten Channel! Greets from Germany

How strong are you, you throw those logs around like there nothing,

Shawn, where are my videos, man , the more videos you put out I can watch , so I have a reason not to do my own work, so come on pump and grind.

that "bunker" there may have been covered for insulation reasons, or if not it definitely gives off "Sheslay Free Mike" vibes, he's a guy that lived between Atlin and Telegraph creek BC

Hang in there man, electronics can be a challenge, Nothing harder to fix mechanically then a motor that works than does not. You can always down grade the outboard to a boat anchor, I`m sure you would feel better, worked for me, just saying.

You’re really showing us all the real deal, how hard it can be to follow a dream. I think you’re an amazing guy. I hope things get better for you soon. I’m not sure I understand the cable thing across the river, though, to be honest. Wouldn’t it be easier to develop the trail more? Maybe use logs to fill in holes, that kind of thing? Sorry if I don’t fully understand that trail, I live in Oklahoma, USA, and can’t imagine what it’s really like. Take care! And my prayers are with you.

Your wood working skills are impressive, just watching your channel I could build my own cabin.

Modern power tools save so much energy and time, Can`t believe the amount of energy you have.

The pipe through the ceiling is way too close to combustibles. Big chance of fire.

Shawn, you should see if you can find a string of cheap solar led lights to go over your cooking area outside. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

Super great video! Keep up the amazing work,

Good morning Shawn. Many of your viewers can give you good technical advice on motors and construction. Many of us just enjoy your videos and appreciate you taking us along for the adventure. We are all rooting for you. Slowly you are getting ready to be warm this winter.

Doing a great job…..keep grinding, you’ll get there.

Hindsight, now if he had built on the side of river where the trail is..... he wouldn't be having alot of issues from past videos. Complaining about having to cross the cold river and can't take it anymore.....hmmm. He'll make it, just be tougher.

Shawn, awesome to see a new video so quickly. When you tried on the merino wool undershirt, you had a cotton t-shirt under. It it’s an undershirt it should be your first layer. 👌🏻 Gotta love Tufte 👍🏻

That two sided silver foam sheeting evidently works as subflooring to keep mice out.

Sorry if this is a crazy suggestion but would a jet ski be more reliable? Could tow something behind it too

Don't give up bro things will work out you can do it set up a Po box so people and send you stuff you'll be surprised how generous people can be good luck and keep up the good fight

Another entertaining video - thanks!

You lost me, at the point where you lost your boat. Not believable. Looks like your into a pitty party, I just don't endorse that. You had a good thing going initially but now, no, will be unsubcribing

Shawn god damn it this was greatly done mate. You're getting better at the editing and pacing. I see that skill, man. 👍

Keep going chief. You got this. I know it. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉😊

The bad comes to make sure we will be grateful for the good that is coming

My husband and I have become addicted to your show. When the world is crazy, I find it a great escape so thank you! I was fascinated when you steamed the chicken in the skunk cabbage because I didn’t know you could do that. I looked it up because I wanted to see what the web had to say and found that it can actually be fatally toxic. You may want to research this a little more before you do this again just to verify. You’re the hardest working guy on the internet so keep up the good work. See you in the next episode!

A cable would be badass. And you could fabricate a bicycle to take you across the cable. Lol. That’d be sweet!

Shawn , clear the trees for the stark link, you don’t have a working outboard right now you should be focussing on your trail that you can take the four wheeler right to the cabin or at least to the opposite side of the river from the cabin, and if you don’t start putting some work into that four wheeler you have, that’s gonna break down
