Day Trip with My Wife and Dog | Wolves, Antiques and Water

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Date day - Our idea of rest and relaxation is a day away from the homestead filming nature, wildlife and buying antiques that fit into our backwards looking life. We make a short stop at a wolf research centre and film a pack of 7 wolves while Cali waits in the truck.

Cally loves every day on the beach with her favorite human that throws her toy again and again ... 🥰
"Our DATE DAY"... So cute 😍😍😍👏👏👏
I love that you do date day with your wife, it's important. Your nature filming is stunning.
Completely agree about Shawn's filming. It is absolutely amazing but I think it gets lost a bit because of all the other things he does so well.
Excellent Shawn, thank you. Just loved watching the wolves.
Greetings Sir! This was a fun video!
Due to circumstances I don't get out like I used to; a drive and thrift stores makes a fun date day. I was tickled to see your 'haul.'
The wolves, squirrels, turkeys, waterfall and snowy walk were great. I always enjoy seeing the critters. I like the swanky music.
Best regards, c
I was at that wolf centre several years back and we got there at feeding time. They had a moose hide that had been frozen into a block about 3' on a side. It took 2 of the young staff members to pick it up and throw it out the door to the wolves.
The alpha male grabbed it in his jaws and started flipping it around like it was a big pillow.
And these are Algonquin wolves - smaller than a grey or timber wolf.
Truly awesome creatures.
Dear Dale, I am so glad that you saw first hand how awesome wolves are. At the sanctuary we’re I worked, we had Gray, Alaskan and Wolf Dogs. To show how smart they are, one of our volunteers developed cancer unbeknown to him. Do you know, the wolves stopped going to him because they knew that he was sick. He couldn’t figure it out until he found out about the cancer. I’m to old now but I sure do miss interacting with them. Have a Merry Christmas!
@@kathyhensarling2537 I've heard for years there are dogs that detect cancer and diabetic, blood sugar dropping. Imagine even most animals can detect human illness maybe. Their sixth senses are sensitive!
Those wolves are Grey wolves, not Algonquin, Eastern or Red wolves. The original pack were grey wolves as well from a sanctuary in Michigan. Algonquin wolves are indeed much smaller due to breeding with coyotes over the years.
@@marksmith9295 I stand corrected - they are indeed a subspecies of Grey Wolves: Western Timber Wolves, according to the website of the organization that manages them.
They lost several of them a few years back when someone cut the fence in a misguided attempt to "return them to the wild".
Amazing animals are wolves, Love waterfalls Thanks for the video Shawn. Good to see you getting out and about,
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍 !! Thanks for sharing 👍!! Great nature shots!! N good to see family running in the forest!!!!
🌲 🎅👍🦊🧙♂️🐺👍🎅🌲
Its amazing how much beauty a blanket of snow will add to a forest . Your shots of the forest and water are of magazine quality top notch. As a young lad I grew up in the hills of Kentucky . I remember mom starting a fire in the cook stove every morning. We had a ice box until we got a frig with the motor on top .We got to run through the hills explore all the small streams that was a good time. Thank you sir for allowing me to tag along on this wonderful journey . Be safe stay well until next time.
Not much day light currently, waiting to see how the solar is working. Generator back up was well planned. Your loving this weather. Cali is in heaven, she likes winter it seems. Come spring you will be so busy with gardens the girls will be busy also. This dream is just beginning. Shouldn't be long till moving day. And good bye city life. :)
I love antique shops!😊👍
Super videos of wolves! Pack of 4? It’s amazing how they interact with each other! Quite impressive 👍
At least 5
As of Sept 2022 there are 7 in this pack.
Another great video from the wilderness December 6th Tuesday morning Local time 10 o'clock AM🐕👏
I loved today’s adventure. Your antiquing was fun. There are wonderful old things needing a new life!
Some wonderful shots of the wolves and other wildlife.
The wolves are so Majestic
I like that guy's big shadow when you're standing by the stove. YOu sure live in a lovely part of Canada, Shawn.
I loved seeing wolves in the wild - they're so magnificent and beautiful. Brilliant shots you caught of them at play.
Shall be nice when you get the solar power going in the cabin for your lighting shall make such a nice difference, Nice that you and your wife went out on a date day good to get away from the work at the cabin much needed . I love antique's myself , and absolutely love the wolves and support their survival, They are very much needed i feel for the Ecosystem. have gone to see them in person, they are very much understood . The ones i saw were very shy yet friendly. I was able to pet them they loved that. Bet Cali enjoyed that adventure with her parents and such a gorgeous hike . Thanks for bring us with you.
Looks very darn cold Incredible another winter another cabin .
Nice to see you out and about doing something other than work.!!
Wow, see those orange eyes on the black wolves? I saw one once at dusk while driving, here in Wisconsin Northwoods. Its eyes shown like fire balls in the head lights on the shoulder of the road. My daughter thought a cinnamon colored wolf was a German Shepard and she was calling it to come to her at our driveway, waiting for school bus. I came out on the deck and sId, "Noooo! Thats a wolf, get back inside!"
~Chiquamagon & Nicolet National Forests.
Thank You for taking us along on your outing. It is nice seeing everything.
Love the background music you had for the lake scenes, very southern or acoustic blues.
Just a note. If you are using those utility work lights you would be wise to look for LED replacement bulbs for the halogen bulb. Big energy savings. Thanks for the video. Appreciated.
Your item is called a meat press. Very useful. I still have all my cast iron for 30 years. You can't go wrong in buying quality things that never or hardly ever wear out.
Shawn, I volunteered at a Wolf Sanctuary for seven years, I can tell you that the wolves are so smart and so loving. Once they know you, they will always welcome you with kisses. I love wolves!
Same with blackbears , they will get to trust you and come up and kiss you
or rub their nose on your leg , so amazing .
Glad u had some time off with your wife.. Cali enjoy before getting back to work Shawn james ⛰️⛰️🎄🎄
That was a relaxing little break, l really enjoyed it.
People don't understand how big those wolves are. They twice as big as an actual big dog. Like great Danes with alot of hair. And to see six of them is amazing. I'm glad that place is saving them
We have a wolf rescue in Oregon, too.
They have a sanctuary for wolves in Northern Michigan and I was surprised how big they are up close and how wild there eyes looked
@@coreygendron3766 And the ones in Michigan are the smaller breed of wolves. Grey wolves are the smallest of all of the wolves family.
@@coreygendron3766 just imagine, ancient humans domesticated them
I’ll never forget the first time I saw a wolf. The size was massive. I was just glad there was a barrier between the wolf and me. Their a very impressive breed of animal.
I love what you have done and how the plan is unfolding. Please show the floor plan of the cabin. Bless you
That’s a grill press! I use mine especially when frying pork chops! The weight keeps them flat while frying!
What a great way to spend a day! Callie loves you so much.
That black wolf looks a lot like an animal that was walking parallel to us on a high trail in the mountains of WNC.
Amazing nature and filmning,,, and your cabin looks great,, 😀
Nice, love the nature
I like watching your videos. Because it's more interesting specially your log cabin house...
Great video. A good look at a day away from work.
7:48 - Beautiful animals
I love Maynooth. Best general store ever
Great video. Love Cali.
Thank you for sharing the nature. I get to see things I would never be able to see 😊
Beautiful doggies.
Yeah, reckon.
Your thrift haul, was awesome, very purposeful purchasing for Your kitchen. What can I say You and Your Wife are prudent bargain Design shoppers. Just WOW. Big hugs to Cali. Love You all.
Bacon press also works great to make crispy hash browns! I use mine almost daily.
As always this is a beautiful video 😮wow the wolves are beautiful and I always enjoy seeing Calli❤
Nice to see you give yourself times to get away still.
❤️🇨🇦
Got audio... but lights inside are very low, hard to see details in the shadows...
My Granny called that a bacon press. I still use it!
I really love the footage of the wolves that was so cool.
Beautiful, beautiful Cali. How about next time you take a day off to hike or fish or whatever strap a Go Pro on her and let us see how she spends her day.
Desde Chile. Eres fantástico, inteligente, te felicito por todas las cabañas que has hecho...
I had a wolf dog, she was young and used to stalk us kids and bite our feet if we went ahead of her. We had to give her away because she was too powerful and she could be aggressive so she went to the countryside with a native group where she came from. Hope she lived a good life I was only 10 and our parents had to replace our boots that year because she grabbed up and pulled us back ,, she sure was beautiful but needed to be in nature, a wolf is a wolf and they are not dogs.
We Love Respect & Adore You.. Thanks Foreveything 💯💞🔥💝💘💕💋
I love the videos of the wolves! We're planning a trip for next summer to the Wolf Center in Ely, MN.
Sound is fine for me.
Amazing that Canada electrical regulations allow a socket in a bathroom. Not legal in many parts of Europe.
Wow, your cabin looks so cozy 😍 the waterfall is amazing 💙 are you going to put a Christmas tree up in your cabin? That will just finish it off, take care 🎄🌟🎄🌟
Beautiful scenery and the wolves are too ,thank you for filming and sharing this .
It's a round meat press. Good for bacon strips or for holding steaks flat if you don't slice the edge fat layer to prevent the sides from curling up. Helps the entire meat surface cook evenly.
“Bumped” into 5 mexican grey wolves while hunting elk in colorado. I was very happy they were more interested in the elk they were after then me.
Cali at 10:44...what a sweet golden...
Wolves remind me of an oversized German Shepherd dog. Thanks for this video
Good morning. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the wolf footage.
I love all the nature shots nothing more beautiful
The wolves know you are there despite the two way glass. They can hear you breathing from 100 yds.
Day trip with your wife is good stuff, the wolves were amazing, they look well fed, I could listen to that rushing water all day long, it`s relaxing. Getting that ceiling all boarded up will sure be a good feeling, another task put to bed, yes getting that solar panel in place will sure be nice, it seems pretty dark in the cabin, in this new world we live in today, everyone is waiting on things to be shipped, all the best to ya.
Awesome cabin . Fine workmanship.❤
Excellent video! Loved the electrical part. I was impressed when our campout cabin got electricity. My girlfriends brought all kinds of electric crap. The breaker kept goin out. I was in charge of flipping it. Just so we could eat breakfast! We had to make campout rules! No TV'S, no microwave, an a few others. It was really nice to be able to see the yard without a flashlight. Worked in a resale/ antique store for 17 years before I retired. Love those places! Beautiful scenery at the beach and good music too. Thanks
Gotta love the process in thrift stores or antiquing..lol.
I fell in love with a high brow lady..and wouldn't ya know..converted her to a thrift store Diva..lol.
Keep living the good life brother.
I'm a country boy who moved to the city.
I still own 40 acres in the wilds. Built my own cabin from salvaged materials mostly. A grip of which are 9x9 hand hewn timbers from a late 1800s barn.
My happy place.
In between my visits...I live vicariously through you.
I'd share pics if I could.
Cheers brother.
Just called a Bacon Press...enjoy!🙂
Beautiful day. Stay safe. Hugs to Cali.
Good mornin Shawn
wonderin if you've tried panning 4 gold ? Saw some black sand at the lake.
Yes seeing those wolves was amazing! Last year picking up the mail at the post office, I saw a huge “wolfie” looking dog in a vehicle… waited until the driver came out to see if it was indeed a wolf. And sure enough, he had raised it from a pup. He has a wolf refuge/rehab here in Arizona. I have a Great Pyrenees, and this wolf was half again the size of my huge male Great Pyrenees! Very impressive beast! The cabin is going to be so snug once you get the ceiling done!

I want to thank you for adding Closed Caption to your shows as I appreciates very much…
Have best time with your wife and Callie…
Since you added Closed Caption now I understand about the lighting for the cabin…
Wish best for insulting lights for the cabin…
Another thank you for the CC
Your vids are great great inspiration for people to get back in touch with Nature and live in harmony with Her. Huge thanks!🦌💌👍✌️🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Gorgeous wolves!
the scenery is beautiful, but the wolves, that's cool. Have fun on you wife date...
I use those heavy lids to cook steaks, I don't like rare meats.
Sweet griddle, can also use a piece of soapstone as a trivet. Love wolves, can't ecosystem without them.
Peninsula Ontario has a sizeable red wolf population as well as the Adirondacks in neighbouring NY state..the larger timberwolves are Timmins area North
Shawn, I so enjoy watching your channels. I used to live in the Adirondack Mtns. Home was 40 miles from the Canadian border. Our property was shown as being in the wilderness area on maps.
Our environment was so much like the area where you live. Get kind of home sick sometimes as your videos show areas that look just like the ones where we traveled and canoed.
Loved seeing the wolf compound. I had an Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky mix dog. Her coloring and face especially were more wolf like. Her legs were long like the wolves and she weighed nearly a 100 pounds. Was nice to watch the wolves and Cali girl in the water. We also had large beaver dams in the area too. Sometimes the dams would flood large areas of the land.
Love how your cabin has come together and when you film the wilderness with the drone. It is priceless ❤
Being my totem is the Timber Wolf, it is good to see them acting semi-naturally but 7 acres is not much for a pack to be in, as they can range for 10 times that in the wild, as you well know Shawn.
Another great video, Shawn. Love seeing the wildlife. Thanks!
Shawn, one thing I don't see you have that you definitely could benefit from is a wood stove heat reclaimer. You install this on your stove pipe a few feet above the top of your stove. Much of your heat goes out of your home through your stove pipe. This will not only reclaim much of your heat, BUT when your stove has only coals in the early morning, and no one wants to walk across the cold flour to restart your fire, this will heat up your entire house hot as you like it. You only have to fill your stove twice a day with a damper. I used to heat a two story 2,000 sq ft house with just one wood stove and often it was 20 below outside, yet 80 degrees inside.
Hey Shawn, great video and the nature shots are beautiful. We were just wondering where that antique store is as we’re always looking for new places to shop or just browse. Thanks, love your shows been watching for quite a long time now.
It's a press. Great for bacon. Keeps it from curling. You have to have time off or you'll burn out fast. You need a J.A.Roby stove. I would love to get one but their from Quebec. So shipping would be crazy. The wolves are amazing. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Wolves are the ultimate canine, beautiful animal. Thanks.
Wolves are such beautiful creatures. I've been fortunate to see wolves in the wild on two separate occasions, in Northwestern Ontario.
We have two wolves at our Detroit Zoo. Love to watch them.
Thanks for the update and the nature/wolves pictures. Enjoy following your progress on the cabin
Get some fire extinguishers and a pinball game.
Удивительная природа и животные.
Your round, cast iron piece is called a bacon press. 😉👍🏻🇨🇦
My wife gives me a ribbing sometimes because during the week I am a contractor working construction and on the weekends to relax and give my body a break I go hunting, fishing or scouting new spots and she comes along. One day while trudging through a rice field in pretty deep mud and water to set up for duck hunting she stops and tells me "I might have to stop relaxing with you on the weekends for awhile" and then starts laughing.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing.
SHAWN & OUR CALI Shawn when it gets really frozen cold outside you can unplug the freezer then !!! Save on power for your power banks !!! That is what 1 channel does up north in Alaska !!! Their moving into another building place with a BATHROOM inside of the home that is a BIG PLUS for them !!! So when it gets really cold out side just check the temp. of the inside by freezer then to see what the temp is in there !!!
Thanks Shawn and family for the update and for sharing! 😎😎😎✅✅✅🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
I love your lifestyle! This question that I'm going to as might be a little strange but do you have any concern about the creature they call BIGFOOT since they are known to be living deep in the woods of Canada?
Love the wolves we don’t have them in my part of Ohio we do have coyotes black bear so many turkeys and wild hogs
Thanks for sharing! It doesn’t cost to enjoy nature! The wolves look so innocent! They are beautiful animals but not to meet face to face!
We have two shiba’s (male and female)
You Shawn and your better half have a great week! Thank you for sharing nature! So grateful for what you share! God bless!
