Seems like yesterday I watched this video. You have worked so hard to accomplish your home and surroundings. It saddens me, angers me and yet I will get to enjoy watching you and Cali start again. You are one talented man, with an understanding wife and the best dog. Oh yes, and two beautiful daughters. God speed!
Shawn through your channels you have built a community of people that not only support you but support each other. That in itself is something to be proud of !!! . You have a faithful following of members I am happy to be a part of .Keep up the great work and enjoy your day from Mission, British Columbia
Is there anything this man can not do? He builds, wood-turns, cooks, hunts, records videos, operates dron etc., and the way he does it is perfect...he’s the century winner “ I ve got talent” ..watching this videos I learnt to be patient doing ...anything
You have a lot of RESPECT from all of US Young and Older ones on TH-cam I have some others that have mention about you what has gone on they are watching out for themselves also they are in the 30-50 's and are watching how you do things. Am Proud of You for the private time of you plus wanting to keep it that way!!! YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER TO ALL OF US!!!
Hello Shawn, Having watched you build the cabin from scratch it is quite easy to forget the early days and how basic things were. Watching these videos help remind me what a good job you have done. Thank you. Take care Paul,,
Good morning Shawn, I don't think I've ever seen such passionate person like you. What an inspiration you are to us but most importantly your kids. Have a great day.
Nice, first today! Seems like yesterday u were putting that handle on. How time flies! Those neighbors must be still around u just posted and two thumbs down don't they have anything better to do. Tell them to get a life!
My grandmother told me, there is 1 in every bunch. Sad but true. I think Shaun is amazing in general but to put up with that, just ain't right. Him and his ladies don't deserve that.
These videos are bringing back such sweet memories for me. Thank you for re-sharing these in the shorter format... it's like a long, lovely "goodbye" to the place we've all grown to know and love over the years before you (and we) move along to new and brighter things. Sending you love and light from Texas, Shawn.
Take the experience of the old and apply it to the new my brother i don't know how people can be that envious and vindictive but a blank slate is a blank slate. Starting a new is most times a most awesome thing my brother. Take it in stride and make mistakes and learn then apply it. You are an inspiration at least to me. I am envious to the knowledge you have but of course i will make mistakes and learn just as you have yes?... Thank you for fighting the good fight and pushing on...
Blast from the past, we're with you Mr. James. (Just keeping an eye for the porch, so as I can tell the difference if you're at "The Cabin" (great tutorial on door lock). Keep warm and safe. Keep on reminding us of the meaning of 'self-reliance'.
I follow at least 6-7 bushcraft/outdoors/fort building channels. But My Self Reliance and Shawn James' channels remain my very favorite. Don't know if it's Shawn's quiet inspirational personality, Cali being his side-kick, or all that I learn - or maybe it's just all of it. *By the way Shawn, I followed your link to Amazon and purchased that cast-iron combo cooker. ~ Have a Nice Sunday*
Really enjoy re-watching the old stuff, brings back memories. Maybe on your new place you could make the door handles out of deer antlers, that would look really cool. Thanks again and Take care
I'll make a crack about Cali wanting you to come out and play, cracks in door, all was cracking me up. I hear the cracking of dowels. Pelts are beautiful.
In a week I celebrate my 76th B-day. I will never do what you do, but that’s OK. However, your videos always inspire me to just get off my butt and go do something. Gotta stay creative... and moving. Still healthy - no issues - no meds... just real food.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY , GARTH !! 🎂🎁🎉 WHAT A CHARMING POST. CHECKED OUT YOUR CHANNEL , AND SUBSCRIBED .IT LOOKS REAL INTERESTING !! GOOD LUCK GOD BLESS STAY SAFE MERRY MERRY & HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
@@gretchenhamlin4282 Thank you, merci, danke! I don’t post much, but maybe I should... I’m always thinking about something I think the world needs to know... and I’m a photographer... LOL... so often the new technology just seems so overwhelming. Thanks for the sub. Shawn really seems to have the tech part nailed down tight.
Cali wanting to go out and play but with you there too, of course; brought back memories for me, even the looking at the window bit from outside. Best wishes to you.
Shawn you inspire so many of us to try! I laid 1400sq hardwood oak 5in walnut color floor in my home. Took me awhile..got her done though!! Saved thousands! Been remodeling whole house. Thank you for who you are!! Hug Kallie Merry Christmas!
Good Sunday morning Shawn. I love how guys just want to bang a nail in the wall and hang our tools handy and and ready to grab as we head out the door.
Hi Shawn. Your skill is just amazing. Always a job well done whatever you undertake. I really like it when you talk to Callie. So many of us "pet lovers" talk to our pets expecting them to answer - and they actually do, even it it's not in English! Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Cali is like my cat. He will stand by the door scratching at it and meowing and then when i open it he will just stand there, looking out "hey please hold that for 5 minutes while i make up my mind, my two legged slave!" I have resorted to counting down from 3 to 1 before i close the door again. OF course he will milk that to the maximum extent. Or just start scratching and meowing again as soon as the doro is closed.... pets. Gotta love them!
Sure going to miss that cabin. Been watching since you started and still enjoy watching. My little cabin is much simpler and I will probably add an outhouse and a small woodshed. It’s just a retreat for me and lucky to have some really good neighbors.
OMG you are starting over again.. How cool now you can really make it perfect and learn from the last one , although that one was damn near perfect.. im excited to see what you change
You are a very inspiring man. Not just how you work or create but yr philosophy and how you perceive things in yr life. God Bless you and or family. Cali is awesome too. What a great side kick best friend to have along yr side. Merry Christmas !!!
Just finished watching the earlier video “Off Grid Cabin;A Visitor,a New Door and Wood Floor. Enjoyed watching ! Great advice towards the end of the video!
My Coonhound teats me the same way. Sometimes, I'll stand at the door, while she decides what to do. It doesn't matter wheather we're at home or in the wilderness. :)
Good morning I have never seen a man work so hard..you never stop. And to start all over again it would break my 💓 your last place is amazing and beautiful I loved it...the peace you found there till now..My bit of heaven..it's a bloody sin. Anyway you take care..stay safe xx
I enjoy your videos very much. I’m curious as to how you maintain your knives, hatchets, axes, saws. Have you already done a video about this? If not, could you please do one? I know those things lose their edge with use and need sharpening occasionally. Thanks so much!
Another good look at the old build. Amazing to see the gaps in the door and the threshold. Must have been awfully drafty until you fixed it. I hope you will have a break this holiday season and spend some well deserved time with your family.
You have inspired me on my own cabin building journey, all the best to you on your next steps. I will be using this method somewhere down the road! Cheers
Quick little handle your threw together there. When you’re placing the dowels. You don’t have to mushroom the end like the top of an axe handle ? They’ll stay tight like that ?
The best hint would be what channel you're watching. I'll bet the new build will be on My Self Reliance and older "as it was in the past" will be here on Shawn James.
These are his old videos of him making his cabin and then talking about it. The workshop is on his new property and he uses both channels for new content.
@@bryan17293 ohhhhh...that makes sense then..thank you! I totally missed that. i havent been on as much this yr to watch due to this global meltdown stuff. But i am excited to watch him start on the new stuff. I started watching when he first started building the first cabin..got sidetracked again on his firepit so i didnt see that....or the outhouse. hehe
You've watched your ads, right. It's being SHOVED DOWN OUR THOUGHTS! Jus' Sayin'. I saw a dude chop from bottom to top then chop it downward. It was amazing. Kinda like watching a dude do drywall that does it everyday. Crazy fast and cool. I hope you don't put the My Self Reliance stuff on your new home. Kinda weird. Respect from the U.S.
I'm Nottingham England absolutely love all your clips I feel so sorry for you that you have to move through all the hard work you have done because of sad b.......s people
I think your videos are therapeutic in a way. It's very calming to watch you live in a simple and tranquil way, :)
Don’t think you realise how inspiring you are!
I think he does!
@@thornhedge9639 I really hope so

Now folks that is a true craftsman at work, simplistic idea and a bit of ingenuity and to this day it is still the handle to Shawn's cabin door.
Shawn, the accommodating doorman, your content never gets old. Love the process from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing.
with all the hassle youve been having at the cabin it's nice to see you've finally got a handle on it !
Good morning, Shawn. Have a lovely Sunday! Thank you.

its amazing at everything you have built. you should be proud of yourself of what you have achieved.

I thought, wow has he built his new place already?? When you see the cabin now, and then as it is here, you must feel proud of yourself Shawn
Жизнь - это простота , гармония и близость, слияние с Природой !!! Браво !
I remember my daddy using those tools that you use Shawn years ago, he was a carpenter.I often watched him work.They can be relied on still.👍
I love reruns... the details, the ideas, what's the best solutions... its refreshing to watch again. Once again thank you, God bless ❤
Good Sunday morning Shawn.
I love how guys just want to bang a nail in the wall and hang our tools
handy and and ready to grab as we head out the door.

What you are able to build, and the skills you have, are simply amazing.
Hey Shawn,i like all the little stuff you do in the cabin!!
I had to chuckle when you said, “You coming in or out...I can’t leave the door open.” Nice handle.
Cali is like my cat. He will stand by the door scratching at it and meowing and then when i open it he will just stand there, looking out "hey please hold that for 5 minutes while i make up my mind, my two legged slave!" I have resorted to counting down from 3 to 1 before i close the door again. OF course he will milk that to the maximum extent.

@@pathwanderer1183 Great story. Made me smile. 🦋😄
I have the same problem with my cats. Best wishes Shawn to you and your family for the holidays
You are one hell of a Carpenter.
Shawn James = Bob Ross of the wilderness.
Sure going to miss that cabin. Been watching since you started and still enjoy watching.
My little cabin is much simpler and I will probably add an outhouse and a small woodshed. It’s just a retreat for me and lucky to have some really good neighbors.
I remember how simple you made that look Shawn, but awesome thanks! 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍💯💯💯
OMG you are starting over again.. How cool now you can really make it perfect and learn from the last one , although that one was damn near perfect.. im excited to see what you change

Merry Christmas !!!
Aww! I wanted to see those chips go in the firebox with a steaming cup of tea and a nice fat book to read!
Wow it's been awhile Shawn since this. It's like looking in the past. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄 Cali n Shawn 🎄 ... Arkansas Clyde 🇺🇸👌
I think I’m going to use some deer antlers that I have for my door handle I think it’ll look really rustic and nice
Wow that was quick work that's all on the new property. ...
In and out, in and out. Reminds me of a little child.
I remember that well before the door bell do miss those days starting from scratch
When l watch what you build...it brings back childhood memories. Keep on going sir your videos are great.🇨🇦👍👏 Stay safe.
Just finished watching the earlier video “Off Grid Cabin;A Visitor,a New Door and Wood Floor. Enjoyed watching ! Great advice towards the end of the video!
Nice, I think I am going to do this to my shed doors next summer thanks for sharing all the best from Simcoe County!!
My Coonhound teats me the same way. Sometimes, I'll stand at the door, while she decides what to do. It doesn't matter wheather we're at home or in the wilderness. :)
You're an expert Shawn!
You make de definition of: "Real Outdoorsmen" the rest is just . . . ..
Great video man!
Good morning I have never seen a man work so hard..you never stop.
And to start all over again it would break my 💓 your last place is amazing and beautiful I loved it...the peace you found there till now..My bit of heaven..it's a bloody sin. Anyway you take care..stay safe xx
Great stuff Shawn. Clearly you've done that before. If I had done that, it sure wouldn't have worked out as good as that.
I remember the first time I watched this. Great video always. I love the craftsmanship.
Burrrrr, that looks so cold, I’m surprised your fingers don’t freeze. Extremely interesting video.
I enjoy your videos very much. I’m curious as to how you maintain your knives, hatchets, axes, saws. Have you already done a video about this? If not, could you please do one? I know those things lose their edge with use and need sharpening occasionally. Thanks so much!
Another good look at the old build.
Amazing to see the gaps in the door and the threshold. Must have been awfully drafty until you fixed it.
I hope you will have a break this holiday season and spend some well deserved time with your family.
Wow this place is coming together fast! I thought this was a clip from the first cabin. Or is it?
Amazing how Shawn knows exactly what hes doing.
Good morning 👋 Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching. 🙏☝️💝🎄🎄
Nice job! And a little bit of sawdust on the floor helps to clean it once you sweep it up! Keep up with the little tips and tricks!
You have inspired me on my own cabin building journey, all the best to you on your next steps. I will be using this method somewhere down the road! Cheers
Living my dream and so nice to see what it would be like if that dream ever came true
a hardworking man......well done...! Hello , Cali....
Quick little handle your threw together there. When you’re placing the dowels. You don’t have to mushroom the end like the top of an axe handle ? They’ll stay tight like that ?
I love watching this
Mr. James is that a new cabin, very nice indeed
NOT the new cabin. I don't think he's really even started on that yet.
Your work is always interesting !
Very nice and strong doore
Awesome knife!
Merry Christmas
Lol at Cali wanting to go in & out, in & out.
Just love what you do !!
Keep up the great work!
Good job!
Hi when you work on these things can you PLEASE tell us if its your new property or the old Property i am a Bit confused
The best hint would be what channel you're watching. I'll bet the new build will be on My Self Reliance and older "as it was in the past" will be here on Shawn James.
These are his old videos of him making his cabin and then talking about it. The workshop is on his new property and he uses both channels for new content.
Also, if you look at the door it is unfinished with cracks in between. Hence old video from three years ago showing how to.
Great video. Are you rerunning all your old videos again
The wood shop is now ready for TLC. Guess we must wait.
so awesome to watch!
HELLO, GOOD MORNING SHAWN, & FAM.
I love you Shawn but Cali owns my heart. Just sayin.
Right! She is the best! Sorry Shaun.
You use a lot of dowls in your construction of different items. Have you considered fabricating a peddle powered lathe ?
clever door handle ... and pretty 👍
Door handles are very nice to have.
I can’t wait you to built outside kitchen
Beatiful simply master,thanks for your videos.
Hello from Washington State 😁🎄
So this is from the old cabin right? Excited to watch the new stuff, not re-runs.
Viktor I too think this is a re-run. Seems like he has more re-runs lately, I assume he’s ramping up for the new site.
that's what i was thinking then I looked at date. it has confused me big time. Glad you mentioned this. ugh.
Shawn made a table out of cabin door, it was warping. This was a replacement door.
@@bryan17293 ohhhhh...that makes sense then..thank you! I totally missed that. i havent been on as much this yr to watch due to this global meltdown stuff. But i am excited to watch him start on the new stuff. I started watching when he first started building the first cabin..got sidetracked again on his firepit so i didnt see that....or the outhouse. hehe
He is probably busy right now, having to start over again on another site. When Shawn told us, I was upset. I actually felt a loss myself.
Don't you freeze with those big gaps for cold air to come in? It's a beautiful Cabin!💗
Shawn, have you heard of the kindling cracker? It's amazing
You've watched your ads, right. It's being SHOVED DOWN OUR THOUGHTS! Jus' Sayin'.
I saw a dude chop from bottom to top then chop it downward. It was amazing. Kinda like watching a dude do drywall that does it everyday. Crazy fast and cool. I hope you don't put the My Self Reliance stuff on your new home. Kinda weird. Respect from the U.S.
I'm Nottingham England absolutely love all your clips I feel so sorry for you that you have to move through all the hard work you have done because of sad b.......s people
this looks like your first cabin
I have dreams about doing this because of you. Merry Xmas to you and your family! Mike, Albuquerque New Mexico.
Trying to sneak an upload in while I'm asleep! Jokes on you notifications are always on!
Very good
