Cali, my golden retriever, patiently watches me attempt stone masonry and I reward her by repeatedly playing fetch with her and sharing my meals of steak and eggs with my dog.

You just know how much people appreciate seeing you do things interesting.,how to build this or that...WITHOUT MUSIC..just the wind in the leaves and that is it!!! Wow!!!!
Angie Krajewski . I'm there with you on this, it's relaxing and calming.
YES!
Golly, yes! I was trying to work on building our drystone retaining wall, with my husband, and the new neighbours music was blaring from their new, industrial work shed. Ruined it for me. You need silence when positioning irregular shaped rocks, into irregular shaped gaps. We used to have the wind, leaves and birds this channel loves to share. I miss it.
You are Poland?
Well put! The lack of music is refreshing.
I am amazed at the amount of work you have done with a minimum amount of equipment except for hand tools. You are a very hard working person and you should be proud of your accomplishments. Your episodes are not only educational but they have some amazing scenery and carry a good message. Cali is a treasure and she must be a great companion. Thank you for a great series.
I’ve never seen a man so determined and energetic. I have thousands of tv shows I could watch, but I find myself captivated by your genius. Watching your show is better than any kind of medicine and I enjoy watching you cook outside.
I love how Cali follows you everywhere. She's an awesome dog.
Hi everyone, thanks for watching. FYI, for those who have so patiently waited for my Cabin Life t-shirts to be available, you can now order shirts, hoodies, mugs and totes by clicking on this link. bit.ly/2Ku1Jtj
We have a crazy hot week starting today, getting up to 46 Celsius (114F) with the humidex. I have a feeling I'm going to spend more time on and in the water this week than working! I think I'll take Cali out for a few canoe rides.

Have a great weekend, and for my Canadian and American friends, have a great Canada Day and Independence Day!
Any chance you could make these available from a Canadian site? Or better yet, stock them at a local retailer in Huntsville
I just sub to other channel tks for the heads up and I'm looking now at the sweatshirt for camping ,i like them big so I'm a medium what you think of a large in case I have extra clothing on ??
I like what you talked about at the end of the video. Brother, i live on Long Island , New York and Government is trying to prevent us from going off the grid here also. They are pushing for solar power , but keep us connected to the grid. Utility companies are in bed with politicians to keep you reliant on them.
Timothy Bier you are so right 👍👍
Can you please post that link for his other channel? I found music only.
Every man's dream! IT'S GOTTA BE! Time alone. Good food. Beautiful nature. And his dog!!!
I have watched you from the beginning and never miss an episode ,I am a recently disabled stone mason, I sure wish I was able to have been there and gave you hand.
Thank you. I wish you could too
Hahaha mate you are seriously gifted when it comes to wood...but that is the ugliest BBQ I've ever seen...and you're going to have a real job adding a stone veneer that looks good and remains attached.
IMO better options would be a rendered sand finish, form it up and build a new wall around it (properly this time) or (what I thought you were going to do) clad it with split logs and a nice timber top each side .
I honestly cringed several times when you poked the bolts into the concrete and then tried to keep them straight. The bolts need more than just the head to anchor into the concrete and you can buy premade things (4 x threaded rod with a 'cage') used for casting into concrete slabs and later bolting down a steel column.
I mean no offence, in fact my ugliest BBQ comment was meant as good natured dig. You're incredibly talented when it comes to all things wood. But concrete and rocks...not so much. Yet. :-P
Oh Kirk you never saw the BBQ my significant other built -- it was made of brick and it leaned in every direction imaginable, this one is a beauty in comparison.
Rexall Yeater i will help you.
SHAWN & OUR CALI even though I have watched it again!!! It is Grand to see it plus learn new things that I had forgotten !!! When you get older you you forget things as time goes along for you !!! So keep up the good work Shawn you are a great man with ideas that come on out and it it Great to them unfold on the videos !!!
Watching you is like a meditation. I find your videos so captivating!!!!!
I also find the really relaxing, I can't even explain why.
Couldn’t agree more! It’s deep inside meditation!
Watching Shawn at work is more fruitful than going to church. You learn something.
By the way, What is the similarity between a Priest and a Christmas tree? Both have balls as decoration. LOL
exactly.... play the videos for the sounds as it is a living meditation and touches many at the heart level.. .. truly living free...
Amber Waite It has asmr quality, that's why.
I'm in central California, just outside of Yosemite and the Sequoias where as a teen, our family took day trips and camped out often. I'm too old and unhealthy to go camping now. Watching your videos brings it all back, and puts me there once again. I am so grateful for your videos. Thank you for making them. (Letting us hear the birds and the Loons makes it lovely.) Love Cali, too! Give her a hug for me.
Oh the crackling of the fire and the sizzle of the meat cooking and all done outdoors is wonderful to hear. The bbq turned out great. I love watching Cali play what a sweet pup. Carolyn Sanner
You’re heaven sent. I hope here twice a week to unwind and relax, thank you for your channel.
I just realized one thing.
You don't comment or explain everything you are doing construction wise. It gives me time to figure it out by myself just by watching. (Almost like a japanese Master?). And that is a huge plus and I love it.
Thanks for taking the time to film all this.
One of the things I love about watching him work is he's quiet. Everything and everyone is so loud anymore.
Frog eater d
I am grateful for what you’ve done for me. I had open heart surgery and I have assurance that I can do a homestead. You have given me hope. I believe that I can have a life, build my on homestead.
Oh wow! Great video, but the 'ramble' at the end was wonderful............JUST what needs to be said to upcoming generations. Thank you for sharing, and give please Cali another hug?
When I need some normalcy and serenity, This is the place. Thank you!
I'm almost 60 years old and I've been a carpenter I would say for the most part of my life. I see where there has been a lot of hard work with very good craftsmanship! My friend you are awesome I'm very much appreciative of your videos and also it has giving me some food for thought. Thank you brother God bless be careful and I'm going to continue to watch your videos on this achievement. Your wife and kids must be awful proud! Thanks again.
Your advice is now more powerful and relevant than ever. I love your little snippets of wisdom. thank you
Amazing attitude. Hardest working man on the planet!
Hi Shawn..what a great job of your outdoor kitchen. It will be so nice to use too in the hot summer when you don’t want to heat up your cabin. If you get hold of an Avon lady,maybe your wife knows of one, get some skin so soft bath oil...has to be oil...and it truly works for mosquitos! My husband and I when we went up camping way up on the Magnetawan River,we always took it to stop deer flies,and black flies,and mosquitos from biting. It works but it is oily! I love watching you work and making things....and making a beautiful place to live. So peaceful.❤️👍
How could anyone not enjoy watching you build,I really enjoy your attitude and skills,Thank you!
Your finishing statement really nailed it, self reliance is the nature of real honest to goodness people. Any imposed impediments from "authoritarian entities" are what eventually destroy the spirit. Thanks for the great videos!
Great video. Well done. Your Cali is a blessing to you and us. Thanks for posting. The channel is greatly appreciated.
Any home-prepared life is wonderful. You always offer much to emulate.
The dog knew to stop when you said please ! awesome friend
Loved this recording of your life being self reliant and how life should be. The clip from 36.50 to 39.33 had a special message for us all.
365 is no coincidence as the world turns. Remember love is the answer.
Love and Blessings to you all.
Thanks Shawn.
There are a lot of us out there with the same thoughts that you have Shawn. Keep up the good fight. And thanks for the Vids.
oh my GOD the outdoors......i'm been inside my house since i had 'covid-19 two months ago....i need to be in the middle of the big outdoors homesteading....like my gramps did.......thanks for the video....you lifted my sorrows today....keep doing this videos...thank you....God knows i love hunt and fish ......
HAPPY INDEPENDENT DAY🎉🎉 to Shawn and his family and to everyone who follows his channel 🎉🎉be safe and take care !
When hes working it makes me work around the house. Pure motivation. Thanks.
Watching you do what you do in the woods, quiet, natural outdoors, freshwater stream and water are so therapeutic and refreshing.
I love watching your videos.outdoor activities outdoor cooking.i love callie they way you take care of her.
Thanks for the video.I get terrible headaches several times a month.watching your videos help to relax me.Very peaceful.Thanks again
" What happens at the cabin, stays at the cabin!" I LIKE IT !
Fascinating..the knowledge..wisdom...strength.....ability..searching for truth...in such satisfying accomplishment. The wise man builds his house upon the rock....all God given blessings in His will. Thank you for your caring and sharing. Continue in His will.
Perspectives on Government is spot on. I lived in London years ago, now I read uk news daily. I cannot believe the loss of freedom there, very sad indeed. Much respect for speaking out! Keep it up, that's what leaders do.
watching you work never get bored because its very inspiring , fast and systematic work .
Calis' such a beautiful dog 💕
Cali fan club member
I love watching you cook over the fire in the outdoors kitchen it's something that fascinates me as I loved cooking in Boy Scouts over a open fire and I love watching you cook out in your outdoor kitchen. You amaze me Shawn.
Everything you are doing is awesome, including your messages about self reliance. Thank you!
Thank you for all of your videos. Of the many elements that I take from your story is gratitude. To hear that message from you, again and again, ever reminds me to place my principles first. I recently retired all of my debt. The relief I feel and the new found freedom I experience is nothing short of a revelation. Onward!
Thanks to you. Heading to the butcher shop for a T-Bone/Porter House steak! I stand for what was said at the end! Have a great weekend Shawn!
A little word about your speech, God bless you and your family. I wish my Dad would have had you attitude!
I consider him a master craftsman! Thumbs up if you agree on thanks.
Apparently, if you watch the early videos he says that he has learnt to do this as he's gone along and he has a fantastic job. A skilled work at heart.
Oh wait, this is an early video sorry.
not quite. 3 of those guys on This Old House would qualify
He isn't just " considered " a Master Craftsman, HE IS a Master Craftsman, I mean, just look at what he has done? Lol
He is this sites master craftsman at the very least. . .
Love living in the great outdoors. The peace and quiet. Really enjoy your videos.
Its good you have released the video for the Kitchen. Ive been waiting for it. its nice. Thanks Sean
Love your message, your cabin and your Cali Pal! Like mindedness and the will to stay independent will take us all a long way! Beautiful spot you have there! Thanks for sharing!
Hell yeah. More Shawn and Cali!!! God bless and stay safe. Thx for the content
88 people, who doesn't understand what he's building. This is one of the the best videos. Fantastic job. Thank you for sharing.
I need to know what the heck causes someone to hit the 'thumbs down' button on these videos... WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?? I look forward to hanging out at the cabin each week. Thank you for bringing us along.
probably entitled millennials
Blaming millennials is both ignorant and deflecting of responsibility.
Jealousy ... most likely
No, millennials are the ones deflecting of responsibility.
Terri, millennials are not the ones who filled the atmosphere with CO2 and polluted the environment for decades, they often work two jobs to afford their rent due to the lack of wage increases in the last 40 years, they have massive college debt because of massive inflation to education costs, and they have to fix all those problems because of the selfish baby boomers. Of course there are some awesome baby boomers I've admired but the facts remain that baby boomers lean conservative and now that they are fading away that demographic will have less and less influences on elections, a good thing.
I am a two year "newcomer" to this channel. But really started following you within the last year. A suburban dweller who now wants to build a grill like this in his backyard! Thankfully my lot is fenced in and no one will complain about my "unsuburban-like" backyard. Now if only I didn't have to mow my front lawn!
Just wanted to say, I appreciate the effort you are putting into your shots. I especially liked seeing you sitting down to eat lunch, getting a view of the bowl, and it cutting back to a frame of you eating. I recognize it takes effort to make that happen and it felt seamless.
He really is a good director with an editor's eye. Not easy to do on the fly.
I agree 100%
As someone who makes videos on a variety of channels I gotta say I think he will appreciate that. Construction of anything also takes much longer as you have to stop to set up shots but also hold your body in odd ways to make the process visible to the camera. It's a thankless job cause if you do it right people don't even register how much work it takes
I do and thank you
He's like Jamie Oliver crossed with Bear Grylls-and he does both great. Most the time-without a word. I love these vids, they inspire. And Cali is the single most photogenic, beautiful retriever I've ever seen.
Great Message, its good to see other people waking up.
Iseekoutthetruth the brotherhood is reawakening. Pretty soon the truth will be revealed.
I wish my husband was like this for us . Live free more reliance on ourselves.
Shawn a pleasant good morning to you and Cali. You deserve a Super Perfect 10 for this BBQ grill plus stove you made. You have the patience of a saint.
The sense I get from watching these videos is a person so engrossed in his work that he’s truly living in the present moment free from a noisy mind that relives the past or is anxious about the future. That’s where are best work comes from, that’s where athletes find the flow state...right now is always the best place to be. This shows in the quality of your camera work as well which make these videos so enjoyable to watch and coincidentally has a similar effect on the viewer. My anxious mind shuts the hell up for a bit while I watch your show and try to pick up some tips and tricks from your work. Thanks for the great content!
Another great video Shawn.
You've become a part of my Saturday morning routine. Every week I watch the cabin update with Oscar (my English springer spaniel) and a coffee.
It lifts my mood after another shitty week so thank you.
Thanks for your videos. My wife and I are ready to go off grid,but where have trouble finding a location near our grandchildren hopefully Lord willing something will open up for us. We're so happy for......
been here since the first leaf was cleared from the spot. love watching you progress
I don't think there's anything this man can't do. Kudos to your skills. You are blessed to be living a wonderful, authentic life. I wish you many, many years to enjoy your beautiful home!
2 Thumbs up on you end video comments. You hit the nail right on the head. Have a good week...
Beautiful dog, brother. Most loyal friend you'll ever find.
I know you have a few cast iron items but if you want more - this week at Costco out here in BC they have a 3.5 inch deep 10 inch frying pan with a frying pan lid 1,5 inch deep ( Lodge of course) $60 - i thought it was good deal so picked it up - so two pans - cooked my eggs on it while watching you -
Thanks Shawn! After 8hr shift, all I need is watching your video and a cold beer. Wishing you all the best! Cheer 🍺
Two things.
1: use masonry cement that uses an fine aggregate. Make sure your sand to cement mixture is correct for your climate.
2. You could ave used the scafold above your oven to drop masonry lines for your post corners.
I grew up a stone mason. Make sure you have a nice pile of stone before you ever start your project. When you think you have enough double it.
It would have been nice to see you bring in some fire brick from town for your fire box on the oven.
Now for the praise.
You did an awesome job on that. I know your not happy with how the Vander looks and that is okay. I can tell you were improvising a lot. You put a lot of heart into your projects and I apretiate the fact that your out there giving it a go.
I really love your philosophy about self reliance.
Hi Shawn : I just had what you may consider a weird idea. What you are currently working on is so unique that while it may be copied it can never be repeated. You were kicking some partially burnt logs in place to cook your meal & it struck me just how unique the moment was. Enjoy this while it can last for this event cannot be repeated. We may chase it for the rest of our lives & that's okay but thanks for this time . Brian 78
Deep and very true. I've been having thought moments like that too
Brian, that's not a weird idea at all. I find, esp living alone in a rural setting, that the very things we have taken for granted when we were living a more city-oriented live and overlooked now become most highly valued.
Yes this man with his dog is very a craftsman builder in all trades of surviving the wildernesses A real man who shows HERE his TALENTS
No living rich but only what you make of yourself n grateful for what you have in life
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for sharing
I enjoy you videos
"What happens at the cabin stays at the cabin", how true, super lifestyle and magically gifted for fulfilling . Man you are a social hero to me. This is THE real life.
This video took me back to my Lincoln days, my two older children and I got to spend two weekends a year at Lincoln's new Salem historic site. Great video, great memories.
I really appreciate what you said at the end about learning skills to be self reliant. I agree completely. As a retired widow, I live somewhat comfortably, but I have started a vegetable garden on my little plot of land at my home. Right now I am reaping the harvest and saving money to make money stretch in other areas. Since I lost my husband, Mr. Fix It, I am having to learn skills, handling a mitered saw, drill, hammer and nails, to fix things around the house myself. And now, with the US government leadership in shambles, I have lost faith and confidence that they will protect and provide needed services that are affordable. Doing the "Self-reliance" thing is so much more vital now than ever before. Thank you for your videos.
Diana, I salute your courage and determination. Most people would turn to the government hoping for entitlements. Some day the government assistance will stop. We need to get ready for that day. He who fails to prepare prepares to fail.
you go girl
Watch your videos make me feel peaceful. Thanks!
You seem to have no book you go by, just amazing!- Whenever your not happy with something, know this all of us watching are happy..with it anyway! lol
ALRIGHT......meet my Paddy. Got her finally as my avi. I do love my dog (s). I have had many in my lifetime. They are the best companions & confidants. I am trying to catch up from the ground floor on your episodes. Still doing some hopping around, but I am still enjoying & learning a lot from them, which I share with my son. He is very crafty with his hands & loves all kinds of crafts. He does electrical, wood.....all kinds of things. He is also enjoying your info. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Shawn. How are you doing? Your project is like a baby. And it's growing day by day. Best wishes.
Not just better men, but women, too. Thanks so much for showing those gorgeous skies from dawn and dusk.
Thank you, Your an isperation .
jestem polakiem podobaja mi sie twoje filmy nie znam angielskiego masz w sobie duzo samozaparcia , robisz to dla zysku w pewnym stopniu cie podziwiam.
Speak it out, Shawn. I'm interested in hearing a Canadian perspective on all of this.
Podziwiam pomysłowość a do tego ogromny zasób wiedzy przyrodniczej.Gratuluję - zazdroszczę takiego zycia.
Interesting. Your videos always give me ideas to adapt to my life, as well as, I like you sharing your thoughts and wisdom.
True words! Love your country, love your People - your are nothing without them.
sean I am awaiting a heart operation and your videos have sustained me....as soon as I get the operation I am begining my plans to get off the grid. ...How much am I into it?....LOL.....I was watching and Cali was next to you and darned if I didn't reach down to pet her.....Totally into the videos I would say. Thanks for sustaining me Jack
hope all went well, Jack... love your comment
@@simonaivancic528 it went great thanks for thinking of me
@@nomadmarine0331 good...love from us in Croatia...God bless
I love how you talk to Cali in sentences. We always did that with our dogs. Never bothered teaching them single word commands, we always 'talked' to them.
Love your work man ! But I would have to be talking to my dog all the time 😂 Best wishes from Australia
Jim Murphy ii
It must be wonderful waking up every morning to a beautiful forest. It must be liberating. I use to go camping when I was a kid. Loved it.
Why would anyone thumbs down this video? Loved watching your process!
Jealous no doubt.
I would say BC they won't do the work to have the same! Or just pure old jealousy! I love what they have and I love what he does! They are good people!
Dirtpatcheaven because there anti everything.

@@terrinadeau8965 aaaaaaaa@
Shawn, I have watched A LOT of these Video's on TH-cam of Carpenter's building stuff, much like you, but you are definatly the BEST I have ever seen !! For year's I looked for someone that built a Homestead by there self that really looked good. You surpassed every and all expectation's !! Congratulation's, you are definatly a Master Craftsman !!
Just bought the T-Shirt!. I have been waiting for those for a while now. Thank you for the awesome videos. I look forward every Friday for your videos! You are an inspiration to me. Hopefully, I will get to do what you are doing in future.
Thanks!
Excuse me if I don't write correctly I am Spanish and just tried to express how much I like your videos I love nature is beautiful everything that is seen in Canada many thanks for sharing with us the viewers everything you do
I make a homemade after bite lotion that helps a lot from bentonite clay, sea salt, baking soda, water and essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, chamomile and comfrey. Draws out a lot of the toxins and infection, calms the irritation and takes down the swelling very quickly.
First time watching your channel. Good job, straight to the point...talking about bugs and mosquitos, mix water and turpentine, half and half and sprays over yourself, really works!
Thanks for your videos
great thoughts at the end of video. so important that we become self-reliant because the shit is about to hit the fan and most people don't even know how to build a fire without gas. thanks and keep it coming.
Alternate, no comprendo.
Hey Sean, another great video as expected. I just turned 66 last month, and just retired on 6/29/18. I pursued chasing the o-mighty dollar, raised a family with a home and mortgage as well. Last week I planted a vegetable garden that I always wanted to plant but just never slowed down my pace to even start to prepare the soil. For now I look forward to exploring nature, fishing, and camping with my two grandsons so they can start appreciating nature while they are young! You are an inspiration to me now in my golden years to focus on what really is important!
Thanks for the upload sean
Thanks for watching!
My Self Reliance no problem i’m loving the series
Always like seeing your dog top dog and appreciate you letting us see you build your ideal cabin home 🏡
Shawn, when I was selling Avon many years ago we were told that the Avon Skin So Soft was a great insect and bug repellent.
YOUR NAME IS WORK, PERSPECTIVE AND PERSEVERANCE, CONGRATULATIONS.
Another great video, Shawn. Really nice angles and editing. As far as your masonry goes, I have a suggestion that you may already be aware of. I use a large cone shaped poly mason's squeeze bag to get the mud into all those voids once the stones have been set. Then, as the mud begins to set, I strike the joints with the head of a large 10in aluminum rain gutter nail. Then, finish with a coarse brush. Canada (and the US), have a long way to go if we are to make government smaller and less intrusive. The pronoun police in Ottawa are insane...
Thank you. And yes, not everyone outside of Canada has followed our pronoun insanity, and even my young daughters don't agree with a high minimum wage that attempts to foster equality even though they are currently beneficiaries

I'm writing this comment on January 9th 2020. I have watched many many of your videos since discovering you and Cali a couple of weeks ago. Every video is AMAZING. You are a very calm & spiritual, deep soul on earth & every video shows this. I'm so very happy that you are living your very best life with Cali & now your wife has joined you & I am praying that she discovers she loves living this life as much as you do.
Thank you for sharing your life. I love watching ❤️🙌🏻
