Hi, I'm Shawn James. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams in a log cabin that I built by myself in the Canadian wilderness. Join me and my golden retriever, Cali and listen to the sounds of the forest in this relaxing wilderness setting. I prefer to keep my talking to a minimum and let the natural sounds of nature make you feel as though you are there with me.

Wow, this is not just another Shawn James video, this is the best movie I have seen in a long time. Calming and soothing and so relaxing. Incredible videography and what an incredible life. Very, very nicely done Sir.
Yes!!!!! Never stop posting videos Shawn! You do us very well with your beautiful videos!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MySelfRelianceShawn! Not only do we enjoy it, it is an accompaniment in this city that we are increasingly alone, paradoxically we are more connected in a network, I am also aware that one day we will not be here and that is where anguish takes over me. Well, you will be a legend and a legacy, that is why you never remain silent about things that are done wrong or those that are not done, and you show us that dreams come true, your sensitivity and strength are very beautiful! !!! ❤
I was thinking the same thing!! A very special film! Thank you Shawn!🙏
Hey Shawn...keep up the great videos, and a dog is the best company a man can have!
Cali truly leads the life we should all strive for. I honestly think she's as important in your life as any tool you have on your homestead. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.
Gross !!! I've no desire whatsoever to live a life of a dog or any other animal fir that matter. There's zero comparison as to the life and achievements that Shawn has accomplished to that of his dog. Unless of course you are so totally anal you want to lie around doing nothing your entire existence. No independence, totally at the beg and call of a human being , dependent on him for food and entertainment, so conditioned out of its natural existence that it relies ona human for everything. Def not the manner it was created to live by. But for a human to desire to be a dog says alot about your mental & spiritual state.
回答正确！！
Dog is a tool. Nothing more. Not a child, not a sister/brother or anything else resembling human. It is a dog. Functional subject.

"A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment."
- Proverbs
Please guys what’s going on around us now this all should be positive
I find it rather facinating how a dog can lift our spirits just by being by our side. Cali's personality comes right through the computer screen and gives us all a sense of joy. May she live a very long healthy life for all the smiles shes brought to our hearts
Cali has grown to be one of my favorite pups on the interweb😊
Love all your content, advice, and cinematography Shawn.Without a doubt one of my best channel subscriptions
The Callie supercut we've been waiting for.
To have a home where nature are the only sounds you hear must be amazing. Your home looks great. Thank you for sharing your experiences building, setting up the garden, and the down times with your dog and showing the beauty nature has to offer.
My all time favorite show I look forward to every week ! ❤ Aloha Shawn and Cali 😊 I'm so glad you were able to retrieve all this footage 👍
Your a man of men i have to say that you stand out from all the rest!!!! Wow your wife is definitely one lucky woman keep being the man that stands out from all the rest refreshing to see in these times i tell ya much happiness health and love to you and your family 😊
Thank you my friend for all of this! stay strong!
فكرة ممتازة للهروب من صخب العيش في المدن واعادة ترويض النفس ،انا احب الحياة في البرية والثلوج والغذاء الطبيعي بصحبة النفوس الوفية التي اختارتك وترضى بالقليل للعيش معا .💐 اهنيك سيدي على هذا الفيديو الذي اطريتنا به كي نعيش لحظات لا تنسى من التاريخ ،تستاهل الخمس ✨ نجوم
One of the BEST channels on TH-cam! Thank you so much for your content!
Love the trip down memory lane. I appreciate all your wonderful videos, especially the overhead airborne shots. I am in awe. Great music and nature shots. It’s great to see Cali by your side. Thank you. ❤
This guy puts a lot of effort and MONEY INTO THIS KIND OF LIFESTYLE
not too many people could AFFORD what this guy does. !
Cali isn’t just your dog. She is the best companion for your adventures and cabin life. 😊
Amen!!!! (Penned)you are spot on THIS MAN,SHAWN,JAMES ,ISTRULY WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD!!!!!I ..ISURE APRECIATE (YOU)❤❤❤.
Been a pleasure watching you and Cali over the years thanks Shawn!!!!!!!
Your videos are food for my soul, I get tired of watching the news. Fills my heart with joy watching you and Cali go on adventures. Happenings around the world can make me feel unbalanced. But I can watch one of your videos and it evens it out. Thanks! Hope you and your family have wonderful holiday season!
We are blessed to have these respites from difficult times. Merry Christmas!
Hi Shawn,
Been awhile since I've checked in. Life...Moms dementia has progressed. Thrilled to see you and Callie thriving. Hope the rest of your family is doing well.
Many Blessings sir,
K.T.
I am five minutes in and I am already wondering what he’s going to be cooking😅😋
Amazing to see some of the older footage. Great history lesson Shawn. Best for you and yours over the winter.

Leaving the old cabin really worked out in the end didn't it?
I am glad I found you again , I enjoy very much watching your videos !
109 days till first day of spring 😂 yes I’m counting
The transition from Corporate life to Wilderness/Homestead life in your intro is pretty awesome.
oh so relaxing i remember some of these moments lovely to see the compilation thank you and cali,very much
What a perfect compilation of what this channel is all about. Very well done.🌲
I live in BC but I also lived in Ontario for 25 years and I have to say I really miss the outdoors there.
Nice Wilderness. Its like you have all that beautiful land to yourself, way different than living in a city full of concrete.
Recent days have been especially good for me. In my gratitude I had the thought that … “ it could not last”. Then I watched this video and smiled…’so it continues’.
Shawn, I have watched almost every video that you have published. They’re fantastic! Cali has to be one of the luckiest dogs in the world. It is absolutely wonderful to watch her with you. Watching her devotion to you and vice versa is amazing. I love seeing the two of you out in the wilderness together. It makes my heart happy to see you guys.
You know? I figured out why I love all of this. It's all so logical and peaceful. I live down in Fort Myers and I miss my cabin up at Houghton Lake Michigan so much. You bring me back to the woods where I love to be. It's not logical down here. It is a retirement area, and it seems like I am living in "Grey Gardens" City. People are rushing to relax, and they are all really bad drivers because they are from everywhere across the US and used to different driving regulations. Anyway, where you are is so very logical. Thank you so much for filling my soul with peace.
Beautiful cabin in a beautiful part of the world. Plus, you have a wonderful doggy!! 🦴🐾💙
Beautiful country. I love your cabin. And I can’t forget about your dog. I think she’s ADORABLE
Always a breath of fresh air! 🙏👍😎🌲🇨🇦🐾💫🔥🌊✨🦌🐻🦆🪶🦉🦫 🎣 🏹 Season's Greetings!
Watching from Manila Philippines❤❤❤
Love your cabin it is so beautiful the snow is so pretty and getting to see the deers walk around l think you And Calli have got it made 👏👍🦌🦌
Those were moose!
I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you so much for posting them!
Now this is priceless to be fulfilled about that will be shared with your grandchildren and generations to come who can enjoy understanding the spirit of who you are and your Passions of what you love and enjoy! ❤ Totally epic Shawn ' great work 👏🦌 🌲 🐻 🍁
Im amazed by the breadth of your skill set. Building, tree felling, editing, gardening, cheesemaking, hunting etc. truly inspiring.
Shawn,the nature sounds are beautiful, cali still has my heart,!🏡🐾🐾🐕🐕🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂💯
I see scene after scene of amazing beauty, glorious peacefulness, wonderful isolation without being too isolated and cold. Many degrees of cold that my body unfortunately can no longer withstand. Using a outhouse and sauna is nothing I haven't done before but digging my way through snow up to the tops of my knees in the dark is something these old bones and bladder can't do. For years I fed the wood stove when my body woke me up in the middle of the night, that I can do, but not the snow. Having my home stay in the 50's (10°C to 15°C) all day and lower at night would keep me wrapped in a electric blanket 24/7. I both envy you and congratulate your ability to live where you do. It is a dream many of us spend years trying to achieve. Sadly by the time we can our bodies can no longer withstand the elements from all the abuse we put it through trying to get there.
Awesomely beautiful, inspiring, appreciated...this video capturing your creations and adventures! Thanx for sharing...one of my best subs on TH-cam, thanx to you!
You must of been able to recover your stuff from your external hard drive, so happy for that 👍👍
Loving all the animal footage today. Great stuff!
Finally something decent to watch..
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho, Içara, SC, Brasil.
Great to see this video. A man and his best friend.
His best friend is his wife, with Cali a close second. 😅
I like watching when you come home to your cabin from a blistering cold day to a nice cozy fire, while seated with a good book in hand and caly by your side! I love the windowed wood stoves where your able to view the flames licking above the warmth of the coals! Relaxing gives one time to ponder of what tomorrow may bring, and the accomplishments that bring them closer to their goals! In all actuality it would be nice if you had matching recliners! Of course getting them there may be problematic! 😅
I think he needs a sofa or love seat, the room looks incomplete. I'm sure he could build one very easily. Hopefully it wouldn't be plaid or brown, lol...
Watch the newer videos. Two easy chairs in front of the new stove.
If this isn't heaven, it's close. I change my mind. This is heaven. 😊
I hope you and your family stay safe , healthy, happy in peace with joy and blessing 🙏
Sean thank you so much for that I would call it a film enjoyed it immensely remember everything tastes better with hot sauce and garlic
no phone, no internet
just books, Cali and the nature. Greetings from South East Asia
Shawn... this video is absolutely amazing... I enjoyed every minute of it. Thumbs up to you 👍
Congratulations ! The film 🎥 is professional done is a plesure to see all episodes
Bonjour merci pour les moments passés à vous regarder vous avez une vie simple et agréable c'est sur. je me suis abonné à vôtre chaîne c'est une vie que j aurait aimé avoir être dans la nature j'aime beaucoup ça être dehors, admirer la nature les oiseaux j'adore ça. Très belle maison félicitations👏 vôtre chien 🐕 et agréable à regarder calme et tranquille joueur aussi bonne journée à vous à bientôt . 👋👱♀️
Dear Shawn...Callie and your whole family. GOD BLESS YOU.john 3:16..
Feels like you know the lord.You live a life that is pleasing to God. THANKS
Can not thank you enough for sharing your life. It is amazing ❤
I haven't watched your vlogs in a long time
Very nice i hope i can live like that ❤
You and Cali live in such a beautiful place, Shawn.
Beautiful journey. Thank you and your family for sharing such a beautiful and educational journey. Your craftsmanship is amazing, thank you for taking the time to share your homestead process. Hugs for Cali 🐕.
Fascinating. Acutely important skills that are missing for most of us, for at least five generations of us that have become so domesticated.
Kudos mate and thank you😌👍❤️🙏
In that way we're no different than Native Americans. People just had to change lifestyles to live in the modern world, didn't work to keep skills unseemingly needed anymore.
Now we realize they were very needed after all.
I can't wait to see Russel mimic this video. LOL.
Thanks Shawn y’all are truly blessed! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
You definitely earn your money with your videos on you tube. You put a lot of effort into making them incredibly high quality, artistic and informative. Of all the TH-cam channels i am subscribed to, yours is the only one i watch when im ready to settle down for something really nice. You are able to engage people for more than 20, 40, 100 or even more minutes. Well done!
you had a great year showing me that you are a real machine in everything you do. They call me the tank, but have nothing to do with you. you have all my admiration shawn, take care of yourself thank you for the videos
Looks like a Fischer cat has taken an interest in you…😊
The wood creaking in the stove, the aroma of fresh coffee, quiet and wood burning. Yum, yum, hmmmmm. Cindy 😊
Nature is very beautiful❤
Isto sim é viver , paz e muita tranquilidade , parabéns .
Be safe !
My guy going to have a castle before its over, i love all of it... true inspiration

Hi again PLZ READ SHAWN
Another wonderful vid and so enjoyed tagging along as always. It is truly spectacular to see over time how you've made your dream come true. What you've accomplished
Is truly breathtaking!
So special to get to see how you can now really enjoy all your hard work.
I see how time has passed as I watch sweet Calie grow older. Truly a best friend through it all and by your side no matter. A wonderful life for you two together.
Always smile when you never forget the loons in pics or in song. Remembering
years back when I shared my loon tidbit with you and you most always never forgot to share that heartfelt smile I have from times gone by.
Thanks as always for sharing. A joy filled Christmas to you and your family and God's blessings in the New Year.
Great effort is shown in all of your videos, but these reviews show what a gifted creator you are on this platform. Craftsmanship shows in your outdoorsman skills and pours over to your video content productions. If I were a young man again and your content was available to me back 40 years ago, I have no doubt your content would've inspired me to get out there and fulfill my dreams of crafting a log cabin and carving out a lifestyle like yours.
Cheers to you, Shawn.
So very Peaceful & Beautiful!!! Thank You!! Loved It!! 🥰🙏🏻❤️
Greetings from Tokyo! You've made so much progress in the past year. It's really impressive, and so cool to see it all coming together. Happy holidays to your family, and may you have great fortune in the new year.
Love your new build and of course the sweetest dog ever "Callie"
Rétrospective formidable qui retrace le travail encore accompli cette année avec sérénité comme toujours.
