    Wow, wow, wow! This video drone footage and the beauty of the forest, with your knowledge of how to capture it, is very ASMR & Epic without a doubt!
    I so love the autumn season and this sure put the icing on the cake with the awesome drone footage.
    The beauty of looking down on the red canoe from heights of beauty as well as far below where the drone dare not go, yet you capture all the beauty of the forest, and the beauty of the prancing feet of ever so happy Cali, having a walk and treasured quality time with dad. Thanks for doing such a great job for your fans.

      Dear Jude W,
      You took the words right out my mouth. Shawn and his wife have created what would call a "Short Film" -
      And the winner from the 2018 Cannes Film for a SHORT FILM goes to SHAWN JAMES OF MY SELF RELIANCE!
      BEAUTY, BEAUTY & MORE BEAUTY!
      KUDOS TO YOU JUDE, FOR SUCH A LOVELY COMMENT!
      REGARDS FROM AZ.

    Dear Mr and Ms James. Thank you for taking the time to share this beautiful piece with your fans. Every aspect of it is superb, from technical execution to music choice to editing, not to mention the valuable concepts of going with Mother Nature, using the sun and winds to make wood dry better. I thought ASMR was all about cutting soap with knives. But I think now you nailed ASMR with this video. I'm not ashamed to say that it brought me sweet tears of joy and peace. Many many thanks and keep living the simple life. Cheers from Patagonia, Argentina.

    A perfect video for this morning. We have just finished going through Hurricane Michael here. We've had lots of rain and wind. Today we're supposed to have sunny days again. So, this was a great start to my day. The colors of the autum trees are amazing. You captured them perfectly. The water falls, rivers, and streams.. some with the relaxing sound of crashing water, then others, right in the midst of movement and chaos have glass like surfices and a quiet stillness. All captured in a way that makes me feel like I'm there. Something that I really enjoyed was seeing the old red Chestnut canoe out on the water. The light weight canoe you use for your trips is great for trips, but there has to be something special about paddling the red Chestnut canoe down the steams by your cabin. It all ties together. It was speciall to see. Sharing this video on my facebook. More people should enjoy seeing this.

    We really missed you while you were gone Shawn . . . each day searching for an upload . Figured you were out doing what you do best , enjoying life to the max , and man oh man this footage you have given us is truly incredible on the "world level" of epic beauty. Inspirational so much that we have listed our house some 250km south of you and are jump-starting our long time plans to follow suit . My wife being retired now and I on the verge . . . couldn't be more excited at this stage in life. Thank you brother for leading by example with your inspirational work . Lovin' every minute of this !! Highest regards . . . Chris and Susi Oxley .

      Oh yeah , and our black male German Shepherd seems to be in love with your girl Cali as he too never misses an episode. He keeps looking behind the TV for her and is very vocal about his feelings for her. Lol.

    Guess I should’ve waited to comment. Some of your best work to date Shawn in my opinion. Just stunning!

    It’s my husbands favourite time of year and although I prefer spring I have to say that the colours are stunning.

    How beautiful, peaceful, soothing nature is. I came across ur channel accidently and I love it I am a 68 year old black woman and I grew in the south on a farm so I can identify with some of the things you so, you bring back so many wonderful memories. Thank you God bless you and ur family.

    Shawn ...this is your best video to date my friend....mother nature at her finest...beautiful scenes, perfect soundtrack actually brought tears to my eyes at one point...touched my soul...I can't get over how well you can pack up your gear into those small bags every time...LOL a talent I also do not have ...also I am amazed at how far the drone can be away from the one controlling it and wonder where your wife is at points to get these incredible shots...this is a video I am going to share with company next weekend when four of our favourite couples come for dinner...can't think of anything better as a backdrop to appetizer/happy hour before we eat...THANK YOU for this

    Love this video! Great editing and drone work. This one really seems like what all you're hard work is about. Building your life in the woods so you can have a homebase to go explore. Always great to see Callie supervising your work, being your first mate, and also a fearless explorer.

    Wicked video editing and sound mixing. Liked the leaf graphic that goes in front of the lens of the camera , and the wicked Drone shots, and perfect music tracking. May even be up for some sort of You Tube BEST Video Editing award category

    This was better than watching National Geographic. Should definetly be part of a why visit Northern Ontario tourist video. This by far is one of the best videos I have seen. The colour was outstanding and the drone photography was a piece of heaven. That Cali girl can bring on a smile from everyone. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you do.😍😍😍😍😍
