@@alexa9x He is not the first TH-camr to build a cabin in Alaska. For example, there is a channel Betting On Alaska by son of Girl In The Woods and Bushradikal.

@@alexa9xwow. That’s some response lol. I duly agree w Micks arrogance ! I will say though, staying in a ⛺️ for the Alaskan winter concerns me. Even though SP does seem level headed and obviously researches, I still think in that setup the Alaskan winter would be way too harsh.
@@alexa9x Very interesting thoughts. However, I was talking about the severity of the Alaskan winter for everyone, and you reduced it to Mick's personality. If Sean Paul really planned to spend the winter on his property, he would have bought a camper and prepared it for winter. In parallel, he would slowly build an adequately insulated cabin. But for now it looks like an attempt to rock a TH-cam channel with jokes and charisma.
Cara iI hope you are just as proud of me when I move! I'm looking at 20 acres about 30 miles away. I figure Marcie will be totally sick of me in two more years, then I'll make my move 😊😂😂 Marcie doesn't know yet, so let me break it to her😂😂😂❤❤
I don't know about others, but what I appreciate about you-and what keeps me watching every second of your videos-is your determination to make your dream come true. You are funny and modest, and I love that you are genuine. You share both your successes and your mistakes, which makes you relatable. While many TH-camrs in similar niches can come off as fake, showcasing fancy tools and elaborate setups without any real-life experience (from what they say), you stand out. You’re not afraid to Google how to do something (and show us you are doing it), and you actively read our comments to find solutions to problems. This authenticity allows many of us to connect with you and feel like we’re living through your journey. Please never change! You will achieve many things and face failures along the way. Your views may fluctuate, and you'll receive both kind words and criticism from those who may not understand you. However, the people who truly care about you will appreciate you for who you are, for what you do, and for how you do it. Never forget that!
Just keeps getting better an better 😊 I loved the giant joints 😂 you looked sexy starting that chainsaw. Definitely love your improvements❤ thank you for your service 🎉
Looks like you don’t have many rocks around so keep the ones you find because they will come in handy down the road. Also, your soil looks really good. There should be enough time left in the growing season to plant potatoes, carrots and onions. These will keep well during the winter. Build a cold storage box in the ground. Dig down about 4 feet approximately (or more if you want bigger storage). Line it with wood( get scraps from the lumber yard if one is close) apply garden/yard fabric so it can breathe. Put a good lid on it with a bear proof lock. Cover it with moss and it will keep your food cold. You can even put ice in and it will keep it. This what they used before refrigeration. Trust me…..you will be so happy to have those vegetables for a nice hot stew in the winter! Plus you will have food on hand in case you ever get snowed in. Be sure to fence in around your garden if you put one in as the deer and moose will eat everything. It should only take you a day to make the garden and a day to build the food storage. By taking just a bit of time it will be so beneficial to you down the road! PS……stew is really easy to make! If you want I can tell you how! Hot bowl of stew when it is -40 out warms the bones!!
@@hereweare9096 I worry that I say to much! I don’t know this young man and don’t know what his background and skill set are,which is why I offered the advice. I wish him nothing but success and only to see him do well. I offered the advice in case these are things he is unaware of. So thank you!
My ancestors are from the north of Spain where the winters are brutal. We customarily make many different stews and they are all easy and delicious. You basically throw all the ingredients in a pot and let sit simmer for several hours. Yum!
Bears love blueberries, and fresh cooked food. Watch out. Cover your back, before Yogi gets to you. I’m not trying to make you paranoid. OK, maybe just a little. 😂😂
At first I started watching because you were going off the grid but stayed for your personality 😊 stay you, stay safe, and I will be cheering you on from New Zealand 🎉
If you wanted some time to rest you could totally upload a video about how you figured out what equipment to buy, how you shopped for the land, what type of research you did and how long you spend doing the research, and other stuff like that. I'd really love to hear about it.
I swear to all that's holy!! If your channel was live 24/7, I'd never sleep! Your personality shines, your comedic background is evident, your wit and humor is amazing. Your commitment to grab your world and spin it the way YOU want it to go is commendable. Thank you for your service in the past and the service of bringing light into this crazy world now. Coming from an old grandma in Tennessee, pay no attention to the naysayers, and you do you, boo!! Continued blessings! ❤
Sean, I’m old, I got this way by being smart. Wear your safety gear, like I don’t know, “SHOES! Love this channel and your attitude, just be safe brother.
Where the heck are you? Need more videos. You make us smile. Anxious to see your progress. I grew up in South Georgia, by the beach and I married a farmer in South Dakota after my kids were grown. Hate the winters so we bought a place in Curacao. That is where we spend our winters. Christmas Day on the beach.
Greetings from Central Oregon!! I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy your channel!! I'd like to offer a small piece of advice... After your wood shed is done, you might consider putting your solar panels on top of it. When the bears and moose come by for a visit, they won't crap on, step on or trash them, leaving you SOL for power.... keep on making your awesome videos and I'll keep watching them......
First let me say "thank you for your service " Secondly, you are living the dream, you are making something out of raw land. My grandfather always told me "if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life"... live free, always learn something, be true to yourself... my hats off to you young man 💪
Love these homestead videos, so many of them are these ASMR ones where not a word is said, love it when I find ones like yours that talk about what they're doing and their experiences. It what makes this stand out, keep doing what you're doing, wish you all the success.
Sean Paul, PLEASE, PLEASE, Wear safety Boots when your working with equipment!! You're miles from anywhere , if you injure yourself you could be waiting for hours help to arrive. Also, if you're injured you are an easy meal for a bear!!! Love the videos.
Thank you for your service. My husband served in the army during Vietnam. I lost him 5 years ago to Agent Orange caused glioblastoma. His bucket list trip was Alaska. Your doing what many wish they wouldve done. Thanks for sharing! You got this!!
Hey from Australia dude! Tip for your next log building - Measure/mark your notches on the horizontal roof beams on the floor, next to the bottom of the charred vertical beams first, this way you'll save a few needless lifts to them mark it overhead (your back will thank you) It will also force the vertical beams to be level from bottom to top! When you drill in your fasteners (10 inch screws) don't go 100% vertical, try both on opposing angles, like a slight X shape that will lock the beam in Loving the videos mate! I'll also caveat this with the fact that IV never built a log firewood storage, so feel free to discount the tips, your doing awsome.
Great episode Sean! Btw, you said you love improv and acting and cabin build channels.... and now you're doing all three at the same time, basically staring in your own reality show, doing it yourself, not waiting for someone to make it happen for you. That's admirable!...and on top of that, you're roughing it out there in wilds of Alaska. Very cool man.
Good intro Sean Paul, YOU are doing a great job, and excited for you!! Firewood shelter is a good idea, however as a MOM and Grama, maybe build a log shelter OVER your tent.....I just want you to be safe-r , a metal roof will let the snow slide off....💚 it's not from your land but only need a little bit for a slippery roof!
I really think you’re gonna have success in TH-cam. Great personality,genuine,😅 sense of humor, knows how to explain without boring the crowd and can line dancing ❤❤❤
just a quick note if you leave the sharp point bits of wood on the stumps you have a high chance of falling and stabbing your self (especially when the snow if on the ground) so i would just trim them up for your safety i wouldnt want anything bad to happen to you!
Thank you for your service! And you ARE killing it. The improv makes so much sense! Looking forward to watching your channel grow and what all you accomplish!
I spent the best years of my childhood in Alaska. In Fairbanks and then Kenai. I've always dreamed of going back but instead, life happened (joined the Navy,got married, had kids etc). Now I am 65 and living in England so it's not going to happen for me. I am so pleased to see you living your dream before life got in the way. I have no real regrets because my life has been one adventure after another but I do envy what you are doing! If you ever see a half crippled old lady hobbling up you trail.....it'll be me coming to say hello!!
Good start! I was kind of confused by a wood shed but when you think of the cold and snow to come it makes sense. Just hurry up so you can finish before the snow flies. PS, My Daughter and former husband was stationed at Fort Campbell when they were in the Army. You will make it!
I'm so glad that your subscription numbers are doing so well. It's true, you're doing what all of us wish we could, and you've very entertaining to watch, in a good way. Great to see the enthusiasm for sharing and getting things done.👍❤
Don't be surprised if your channel explodes. Your content is great, your video and editing are better than average and, most of all, your delivery and ability to connect in a funny and honest way just keeps me waiting for next week. Shout outs to Kyle's cabin and Bushradical don't hurt either. Best to ya. Mike here from Charlotte NC
I have never held my breath as long as I did when you was putting the cross beams up, willing them not to fall just to see you succeed. Well in Sean another great episode, I've been following since the second episode and i am going to continue to follow all the way. Watching all the way in North West UK
Found your channel because a guy gave you a call out on ‘Kyle’s Cabin’. You are doing so well! Love your attitude and humour - keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll go far on YT. 👏👏
😂😂😂so glad to see someone actually having fun while working hard.its a breath of fresh air..PS may want to think of a outhouse before the ground freeze.
AYE Shawn Paul, loving your progress and antics . Congratulations on the growth of your channel, you deserve it . Buddy , with the amount of chainsaw work and tree felling ahead of you , I can think of 5 or more reasons why you have to study up on controlled tree felling , knotches, hinges , plunge cuts will put trees on ground where you want them to go. And always always have 2 exits planned ahead before you drop the tree . There are hundreds of TH-cam vids covering this , and my comment comes from the need to keep you safe , sorry for the ramble but your good people , very entertaining and honest . Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 . Much ❤ to puddy n puppy .
Your such an inspiration, I really appreciate your will, and watching you do it alone is amazing. I was pleasantly surprised you were stationed in my home town, and as a Nana, your Nana would be extremely proud ❤. Can wait to watch your journey. Stay safe and enjoy yourself 😊
You are so entertaining to watch 😂 So inspiring!!! Always build bigger and higher ceilings than you need!! Multipurpose buildings are always a plus!!! You will have many uses for all of them!! Lumber storage above your fire wood!!
I’m glad you cut that tree! When trees get stuck like that at 10:00 mark. Just cut the tree it’s stuck on since you’re by yourself. You get easily get really hurt or worse. Also you have some amazing soil looks nitrogen rich! That will grow you great crops if you take of your dirt it will take care of you!!
*Sean, Shawn James just dropped a video on his channel My Self Reliance titled How To Preserve Wood With Fire (I'm sure you know of him) goes into detail about the char method used on wood for building, he even uses it on his roof its gorgeous, it will help you A LOT (and all of us) the proper way to do it & why, I definitely recommend watching it (only a few minutes long) as soon as you can & before you build more as you may want to make some changes, depending on how long you want your structures to stand when using the char method. I know.. why didn't he make the video weeks ago..😖 You're really doing great especially for this being your first time!! Glad you found your orange work helmet that fell off your quad into the fern!! 😅 Excellent job so far on your wood shed!! Your property is so lush & beautiful & you even have a spring for GOOD water, wow!! The numbers of subs are climbing, another great vid, you're rockin it!! 🥰
I love that you're so just, chill, about the whole process. Walking around in your bare feet like that is called "grounding" if you didn't already know, and it's really good for you.
I've been here since nearly the first video I think. Honestly I pretty much subscribe to any thing about Alaska lol. I went there on vacation once and never wanted to leave.
Now you got an improv youtube channel from the Alaskan wilderness while building a home 😆. Btw trick to cooking is: Take your time, just think about it as part of your journey. Plus keep those rocks for your fire pit 😉and make sure you put some protective layer and the beams, otherwise they'll rot away in a year or so
You’re gonna get a ton of subscribers because you’re so much fun to watch. Anyway, that’s how I see it and I find myself smiling while watching. Excited to witness your journey. Good luck. ❤
Hey Sean we're excited for you to build your home in your property... Good for you starting your life at a very young age. You got a long way.. And we're supporting you every journey you'll have.. You're new subscriber from the Philippines. Much love ♥️ take care
Hopefully I'll be doing the same thing in 2 years time. keep up the good work you got this your figuring it out as you go I'm excited to see the cabin when you get it done. ❤
Here in the UK we have back bacon and streaky, l like smoked back bacon, streaky is kinda like what they have in America or so l heard. Not surprised you have so many subscribers you are fun to watch, just remember when building safety first, especially being on your own....in case nobody has told you lately...Good Job Sean...Sorry after what you said l couldn't resist, blame my English sense of humour, l do... LOL. Seriously though you are doing great!!
Oh my gosh, you must be so exhausted at the end of the day. Your work ethic is so amazing. You are a joy to watch. Especially with your background. I mean no carpentry, or anything with that kind of background. You really are quite impressive. I just found you, and are now going back and watching all your other videos. Don't let cooking get you down. Its a lot of just putting what flavors you like and mix them up. Even if it goes south , its probably still edible. You learn as you go. I mean your out there building all of this, with no idea of what you are doing, and its coming out fine. Cooking easy, compared to what you are doing. Lol
It's amazing what you're doing and kudos to you for learning how to do it yourself!! With that TH-cam subscription you have your doorway to adventure and learning will never be closed. Looking forward to much more.
I watch because you are living one of the things I had on my bucket list that I will never be able to fulfill now since I'm 73. And those wild blueberries, down here in the south we call them huckleberries. I used to pick about 5 gallons of them every year and freeze for the rest of the year. Add em to pancake batter, make pies, make a pudding topping for ice cream or cheese cake. Dang, make some wine lol
So, Our Veteran Friend! Thanks for your service! We are a generational military family here. Is there a way to contact you outside of TH-cam? That sounds creepy but my hubby helps veterans (out of the kindness of his heart ) and I thought I might extend that to you if you would like…. That’s all lol. I admire you keeping it 💯. Very excited to see your videos pop up. We are rooting for you. You’re living the dream! I’m impressed with you lifting those logs with nothing but pure strength! As far as you lying around, unmotivated….i believe in resting when you need to but I also know you are on the race to getting ready for winter. You got this man!!! Now stop reading and get to work😂✌️
Hello Sean Paul. Loving the channel. Might I suggest you get a gas powered weed Wacker ( strimmer) and clear the area near your camp of debrie/ground growth. This will help to keep the bugs back the more you clear the less you will get. And try and figure out a breeze corridor. This will allow for air flow, which will also diminish mosquitoes, flies etc. Love the new digs. Keep up with the great work
Watching from Mactan, Cebu ,Philippines.... Enjoy the journey, the process of building is as important as the final result. Take your time, enjoy the scenic beauty around you, and cherish the moments spent working on your cabin. As you progress, you’ll find that the cabin becomes a reflection of your hard work and creativity.
If you will get a small stiff bristle paint brush, that will make cleaning up the saw dust out of your chainsaw. It gets down into the nooks and crannies really well
I've watched so many off grid youtubers over the last few year. Your channels going to blow up dude, it's just a matter of time. Stay the course, this one is a winner.
Hey Sean, I watched your latest video and then started watching your channel from the beginning. Now, I'm on this episode and will continue until I catch up with today's latest upload, and so on. Thanks, Sean! I've really enjoyed your content-it helps me relax. Haha! Keep doing what you're doing-it looks like you truly enjoy it!
I was thinking that as well, I mean, he could build the shed And then, if there’s room, relocate his tent and platform in the shed, stack logs up around the inside walls and build a lean too on the outside walls for more logs, I would imagine that would keep him quite insulated, but he’d have to be super careful if he’s going to have a log burner in the tent, or, just go hell for leather, build the shed into a tiny cabin, put a floor in, insulate the hell out of it and winter in there,if that’s even possible🤷🏻♀️. I love his channel and his energy, but I’m already worrying about the dog and cat in the run up to winter with bears and then the sheer savagery of winter itself!
Would love for you to show what your basic necessities setup looks like at the moment. We saw water, wondering about food storage, bathing, electricity. Love the progress, super interested in the nuts and bolts of this transitional period.
Congratulations on a great start to your TH-cam journey. Your personality is so much like 2 of my sons and I am drawn to that kind of personality. I am a great grandmother at 82 and I am really enjoying your videos. I don’t usually comment on videos but wanted to encourage you to keep up the good work. Research what you need to do the work correctly and be cautious with your surroundings. Be careful with your work. I want you to be safe, unhurt and enjoying what you do. You will go far with TH-cam because you are a hard worker and care about people. Use tools when you need to so you can do the work so you don’t get hurt. If you hurt your back now there are a lot of years to suffer ahead of you. I really enjoy your content and I am rooting for you to accomplish your dream. Good luck!❤️
Sean's smile/look at 11:53-55 , after felling a 2nd tree to get to his first tree , is PRICELESS❗ You are honest and love the dialogue....💚 I follow 'Kyle's Cabin for over two years. You are correct, Kyle is a hard worker and so glad you came across his channel💜
You’re cooking in the bathroom next to your poop bucket🤪 put a throw bag on your wish list. It will help you get a rope up in a tree if you get more trees hung up and you will 😬 oh yeah, the days are getting shorter and winter is coming 🥶 That tent is going to get pretty chilly 😊 Another fun video😎 Keep after it💪
I come away from these videos with an ache in my hands to do something myself. Thank you for showing it's possible to learn as you go - it's something I really need to take to heart more. Please be careful not to hurt yourself! That ladder gives me major angst 😂
I'm loving watching you figure all this out. If you want to feel really intimidated go watch traplines and inclines. He's building an amazing log cabin.

Hey from Australia dude! Tip for your next log building -
Measure/mark your notches on the horizontal roof beams on the floor, next to the bottom of the charred vertical beams first, this way you'll save a few needless lifts to them mark it overhead (your back will thank you)
It will also force the vertical beams to be level from bottom to top!
When you drill in your fasteners (10 inch screws) don't go 100% vertical, try both on opposing angles, like a slight X shape that will lock the beam in
Loving the videos mate!

Good start! I was kind of confused by a wood shed but when you think of the cold and snow to come it makes sense. Just hurry up so you can finish before the snow flies. PS, My Daughter and former husband was stationed at Fort Campbell when they were in the Army. You will make it!
Stuck tree falling? Yeah that was me, you're welcome -God
I'm so glad that your subscription numbers are doing so well. It's true, you're doing what all of us wish we could, and you've very entertaining to watch, in a good way. Great to see the enthusiasm for sharing and getting things done.👍❤
Don't be surprised if your channel explodes. Your content is great, your video and editing are better than average and, most of all, your delivery and ability to connect in a funny and honest way just keeps me waiting for next week. Shout outs to Kyle's cabin and Bushradical don't hurt either. Best to ya. Mike here from Charlotte NC
Fantastic. So many watching. I cannot give advice as Aussie Grandma 63 but baracking for you. Well done.
Bless you 🤧
@@TheShutterPapi thank you 🙏🏼 🤧
I have never held my breath as long as I did when you was putting the cross beams up, willing them not to fall just to see you succeed. Well in Sean another great episode, I've been following since the second episode and i am going to continue to follow all the way. Watching all the way in North West UK
Your videos make me incredibly happy. Stay safe and keep on going ❤️
Found your channel because a guy gave you a call out on ‘Kyle’s Cabin’.
You are doing so well!
Love your attitude and humour - keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll go far on YT. 👏👏
😂😂😂so glad to see someone actually having fun while working hard.its a breath of fresh air..PS may want to think of a outhouse before the ground freeze.
Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦. Absolutely love your channel
Yes, Sweden watching. 🙂
AYE Shawn Paul, loving your progress and antics . Congratulations on the growth of your channel, you deserve it . Buddy , with the amount of chainsaw work and tree felling ahead of you , I can think of 5 or more reasons why you have to study up on controlled tree felling , knotches, hinges , plunge cuts will put trees on ground where you want them to go. And always always have 2 exits planned ahead before you drop the tree . There are hundreds of TH-cam vids covering this , and my comment comes from the need to keep you safe , sorry for the ramble but your good people , very entertaining and honest . Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 . Much ❤ to puddy n puppy .
Your such an inspiration, I really appreciate your will, and watching you do it alone is amazing. I was pleasantly surprised you were stationed in my home town, and as a Nana, your Nana would be extremely proud ❤. Can wait to watch your journey. Stay safe and enjoy yourself 😊
If you have an extra bar and chain, you can unbolt your saw and install the spare to free up your stuck bar.
You are so entertaining to watch 😂 So inspiring!!! Always build bigger and higher ceilings than you need!! Multipurpose buildings are always a plus!!! You will have many uses for all of them!! Lumber storage above your fire wood!!
What a great way of getting the most out of the build, a storage area above keeps your equipment dry and out of the way, all in one place.👍
I’m glad you cut that tree! When trees get stuck like that at 10:00 mark. Just cut the tree it’s stuck on since you’re by yourself. You get easily get really hurt or worse. Also you have some amazing soil looks nitrogen rich! That will grow you great crops if you take of your dirt it will take care of you!!
Winter is coming
Free Tip : Get a spare bar and chain so you can remove the stuck bar from the saw and use the spare to recover the stuck one . . . CAREFULLY !
Very good advise. I thought I was one of the few that carried a second bar and chain.
Or just have more than one chainsaw. I never go on a tree job without at least 3 saws.
Same, even if I'm using another saw to unstuck the first I always take the power head off.
*Sean, Shawn James just dropped a video on his channel My Self Reliance titled How To Preserve Wood With Fire (I'm sure you know of him) goes into detail about the char method used on wood for building, he even uses it on his roof its gorgeous, it will help you A LOT (and all of us) the proper way to do it & why, I definitely recommend watching it (only a few minutes long) as soon as you can & before you build more as you may want to make some changes, depending on how long you want your structures to stand when using the char method. I know.. why didn't he make the video weeks ago..😖 You're really doing great especially for this being your first time!!
Glad you found your orange work helmet that fell off your quad into the fern!! 😅 Excellent job so far on your wood shed!! Your property is so lush & beautiful & you even have a spring for GOOD water, wow!! The numbers of subs are climbing, another great vid, you're rockin it!! 🥰
I love that you're so just, chill, about the whole process. Walking around in your bare feet like that is called "grounding" if you didn't already know, and it's really good for you.
I've been here since nearly the first video I think. Honestly I pretty much subscribe to any thing about Alaska lol. I went there on vacation once and never wanted to leave.
Now you got an improv youtube channel from the Alaskan wilderness while building a home 😆. Btw trick to cooking is: Take your time, just think about it as part of your journey. Plus keep those rocks for your fire pit 😉and make sure you put some protective layer and the beams, otherwise they'll rot away in a year or so
You’re gonna get a ton of subscribers because you’re so much fun to watch. Anyway, that’s how I see it and I find myself smiling while watching. Excited to witness your journey. Good luck. ❤
I just Subscribe 😊
Hey Sean we're excited for you to build your home in your property... Good for you starting your life at a very young age. You got a long way.. And we're supporting you every journey you'll have.. You're new subscriber from the Philippines. Much love ♥️ take care
Hopefully I'll be doing the same thing in 2 years time. keep up the good work you got this your figuring it out as you go I'm excited to see the cabin when you get it done. ❤
That blueberry is actually a mountain huckleberry. They are more tart than a cultivated blueberry. Try them in pancakes. Delicious!
I love how at 12:27 as you are trying to do you nice scenic shot a fly lands on the lens, like "Hey give me my 5 seconds of fame!!". Lol
Teaspoon of local honey daily will help with allergies. Nettle tea also works.
Here in the UK we have back bacon and streaky, l like smoked back bacon, streaky is kinda like what they have in America or so l heard. Not surprised you have so many subscribers you are fun to watch, just remember when building safety first, especially being on your own....in case nobody has told you lately...Good Job Sean...Sorry after what you said l couldn't resist, blame my English sense of humour, l do... LOL. Seriously though you are doing great!!
Oh my gosh, you must be so exhausted at the end of the day. Your work ethic is so amazing. You are a joy to watch. Especially with your background. I mean no carpentry, or anything with that kind of background. You really are quite impressive. I just found you, and are now going back and watching all your other videos. Don't let cooking get you down. Its a lot of just putting what flavors you like and mix them up. Even if it goes south , its probably still edible. You learn as you go. I mean your out there building all of this, with no idea of what you are doing, and its coming out fine. Cooking easy, compared to what you are doing. Lol
Enjoying your channel. Love your humour
He cracks me up 😂
It's amazing what you're doing and kudos to you for learning how to do it yourself!! With that TH-cam subscription you have your doorway to adventure and learning will never be closed. Looking forward to much more.
Yessss your funny and just trying to live your dream.....Thats why we watch your real and honest....
I watch because you are living one of the things I had on my bucket list that I will never be able to fulfill now since I'm 73. And those wild blueberries, down here in the south we call them huckleberries. I used to pick about 5 gallons of them every year and freeze for the rest of the year. Add em to pancake batter, make pies, make a pudding topping for ice cream or cheese cake. Dang, make some wine lol
just binged all of your videos! so excited to see a new one and can’t wait for what’s next! and your cat is so adorable
So, Our Veteran Friend! Thanks for your service! We are a generational military family here. Is there a way to contact you outside of TH-cam? That sounds creepy but my hubby helps veterans (out of the kindness of his heart ) and I thought I might extend that to you if you would like…. That’s all lol.
I admire you keeping it 💯. Very excited to see your videos pop up. We are rooting for you. You’re living the dream! I’m impressed with you lifting those logs with nothing but pure strength! As far as you lying around, unmotivated….i believe in resting when you need to but I also know you are on the race to getting ready for winter. You got this man!!! Now stop reading and get to work😂✌️
Hello Sean Paul. Loving the channel. Might I suggest you get a gas powered weed Wacker ( strimmer) and clear the area near your camp of debrie/ground growth. This will help to keep the bugs back the more you clear the less you will get. And try and figure out a breeze corridor. This will allow for air flow, which will also diminish mosquitoes, flies etc. Love the new digs. Keep up with the great work
Excellent advice.
It's been really cool to follow your first steps, your first achievements. Good luck and success on your journey. Greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I aspire to have your mentality, thanks for the video
Thank you for your service.
Your cat seems to be adjusting amazingly well to its new domain! Loving the videos!
Good job Sean, you’re killing it SEAN, LIVING MY FREAKIN DREAM SEEEEAAANNNN
I totally enjoy Kyles Cabin on TH-cam, an awesome resource.. There is also Traplines and Inlines, which is educating as well as a great resource.
Hahaha your funny love your videos keep up the great work! Take care! God bless you!🙏❤️🙏❤
not me literally watching them all like a tv show I love watching these
Watching from Mactan, Cebu ,Philippines.... Enjoy the journey, the process of building is as important as the final result. Take your time, enjoy the scenic beauty around you, and cherish the moments spent working on your cabin. As you progress, you’ll find that the cabin becomes a reflection of your hard work and creativity.
Love the new logo! 😀 Must be so nice to be living on-site now, and having your whole family together. Thanks for another entertaining episode. 😊
Literally the best content on youtube
If you will get a small stiff bristle paint brush, that will make cleaning up the saw dust out of your chainsaw. It gets down into the nooks and crannies really well
I recommend digging all your holes first before going further. Incase you hit a bolder you will have to move all of the holes
I've watched so many off grid youtubers over the last few year. Your channels going to blow up dude, it's just a matter of time. Stay the course, this one is a winner.
Hey Sean, I watched your latest video and then started watching your channel from the beginning. Now, I'm on this episode and will continue until I catch up with today's latest upload, and so on. Thanks, Sean! I've really enjoyed your content-it helps me relax. Haha! Keep doing what you're doing-it looks like you truly enjoy it!
I hope you have good friends to stay with over the winter. It is harsh in Alaska. Just a regular tent will not suffice.
I was thinking that as well, I mean, he could build the shed And then, if there’s room, relocate his tent and platform in the shed, stack logs up around the inside walls and build a lean too on the outside walls for more logs, I would imagine that would keep him quite insulated, but he’d have to be super careful if he’s going to have a log burner in the tent, or, just go hell for leather, build the shed into a tiny cabin, put a floor in, insulate the hell out of it and winter in there,if that’s even possible🤷🏻♀️. I love his channel and his energy, but I’m already worrying about the dog and cat in the run up to winter with bears and then the sheer savagery of winter itself!
Would love for you to show what your basic necessities setup looks like at the moment. We saw water, wondering about food storage, bathing, electricity. Love the progress, super interested in the nuts and bolts of this transitional period.
Im loving it. U are living my dream for me. ❤
Congratulations on a great start to your TH-cam journey. Your personality is so much like 2 of my sons and I am drawn to that kind of personality. I am a great grandmother at 82 and I am really enjoying your videos. I don’t usually comment on videos but wanted to encourage you to keep up the good work. Research what you need to do the work correctly and be cautious with your surroundings. Be careful with your work. I want you to be safe, unhurt and enjoying what you do. You will go far with TH-cam because you are a hard worker and care about people. Use tools when you need to so you can do the work so you don’t get hurt. If you hurt your back now there are a lot of years to suffer ahead of you. I really enjoy your content and I am rooting for you to accomplish your dream. Good luck!❤️
Quero ver os conclusão dessa maravilhosa construção !!
Parabéns Garoto por sua determinação e coragem 👏👏👏
Sean's smile/look at 11:53-55 , after felling a 2nd tree to get to his first tree , is PRICELESS❗ You are honest and love the dialogue....💚 I follow 'Kyle's Cabin for over two years. You are correct, Kyle is a hard worker and so glad you came across his channel💜
I love your attitude and energy! It reminds me of what kind of atmosphere I want to bring with me through the day. Love from Norway.
This old southern girl is enjoying every minute! BE CAREFUL! You have got to prepare for winter. Our southern blood can't take it if you don't!!
You’re cooking in the bathroom next to your poop bucket🤪 put a throw bag on your wish list. It will help you get a rope up in a tree if you get more trees hung up and you will 😬 oh yeah, the days are getting shorter and winter is coming 🥶 That tent is going to get pretty chilly 😊
Another fun video😎 Keep after it💪
I come away from these videos with an ache in my hands to do something myself. Thank you for showing it's possible to learn as you go - it's something I really need to take to heart more.
Please be careful not to hurt yourself! That ladder gives me major angst 😂
I'm loving watching you figure all this out. If you want to feel really intimidated go watch traplines and inclines. He's building an amazing log cabin.
You are so positive that you CAN do anything you set your mind on. GOD bless. Sara from South Africa🇿🇦
Thank for your awesome video! I love watching your vlog! Keep safe! Have a wonderful day!❤️❤️❤️
Knocked it out of the park AGAIN! Great channel! Thanks, Key West Rick
