Love that you are returning to building…your physical fitness and weight are fun to watch as you work…clearly building agrees with you ! Love the site, position and layout of the new build. I think you will all enjoy a little more space…not luxury…just space ! Brilliant work…thanks ! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
All I can say is ...for me...this what the interwebs is for. Hands down the best watch and even a background show when I'm working on a project for the office. Just love it and it calms me and keeps me centered. A true Craftsman!
I've been a fan of your channel for over a year now, since 2019. In this one though, Cali has done this before so often she just manages to take centre stage behind you in so many shots it's as if she is fully aware of the camera and photo bombs you all of the time. I'd enjoy the process of your log cabin buildings taking form at such a relaxing pace anyways, even if Cali was not present...but with Cali added to the mix. She really loves the underneath of that porch, I think she's claimed it as hers.
I look so forward to your videos Shawn. So much beauty, you amaze me, that cabin is already looking awesome! Im 62 years old and can barely lift a gallon of milk and your moving logs! You amaze me. Thank you for the videos, its my only way of getting out and seeing the wilderness. And its so beautiful.
Wow! Two meals on this video! Food cooked on an outdoor fire always tastes better. It will be nice sitting on that porch looking out on the meadow. Thanks for the video Shawn.
Shawn, I really enjoy all your videos. I appreciate your work ethic and talent. I know you are several years younger than me (I’m 70) but you have given me a desire to do much more projects. Thanks
The campsite around the new cabin is really looking quite well organised with a makeshift table and seat, the campfire set for the business of good meals, and the cabin in the background well underway. Shawn, I’m starting to get the real feel good feeling I had with the old cabin build, the new cabin is starting to feel like a home rather than just a building site. Like with the old cabin it’s not just walls and roof as shelter, it’s the life you live outside around your shelter, an extension of the home. Feeling good👍🏼
Great job on the steps and the cooking. Cali is the happiest dog on the planet. Absolutely beautiful cinematography and music at the end. Everything you do is pure class.
Shawn James, I think it's safe to say, you, my friend are truly living the dream! You have created heaven on earth for yourself and family. And Cali, can't forget you, make me smile . You're such a beautiful girl. Thank you Shawn for sharing this with us so we can live vicariously through you.
Seeing the emblem for your channel go back up on the cabin is going to be so sweet, channel touches many people in many ways. Thank you 💕 Much 💕 for the family ❤️🌹
I love watching you build. Makes me think how good it would feel not to have to deal with the hustle and bustle of city dwelling. I sit and watch you building and think oh how sweet the peace. It must feel nice being in a "quiet place"? Love watching Calli, reminds me of my late Sister In Law's dog Ginger. God Bless You and your family. You're doing a GREAT JOB.
Loving the new homestead more...the greenhouse. ..feels like a little heaven on earth. What a delicious meal you have there. ..yum and Cali is having a blessed life.
This is the most relaxing channel I have ever been to. I come here to decompress. Just a man, nature, great visuals, great sound and a honest day of hard work. My go to when stress overtakes me.
The feeling of pure serenity is what comes across from your videos.l feel good every time I watch one. Your work is a thing of beauty.and Cali is a joy to watch.Getting to the point now, i can hardly wait for the next video,to see what you have done!
I’ve watched a lot of Homestead Cabin builds and yours is the first to incorporate a basement and waterproofed to boot. Awesome job Shawn, none compares.
Cali is so, so sweet laying under the porch foundation. I think that place is going to be a keeper even when the cabin is finished. Smart move, it will keep her warm and dry in the Winter. The food looked delicious, appreciated by man and beast. Steps are awesome, rustic and beautiful at the same time time. Good work. ❤️ Dorset, UK
Hi Shawn, Dennis here from Filer, Idaho USA. Been watching your channel now for quite some time. Glad I found it.Its amzing what a craftsman you are when it comes to rough sawn lumber and trees..I have really enjoyed it alot. Thank you
Nothing beats fresh produce, except really fresh produce. Nice meal. I have to agree that this is looking more and more like a home and not just another cabin. Nice Shawn! Thanks for taking us along!
Shawn your nature shots have gone next level. Amazing. Your dawn shots in this video are especially gorgeous. Thanks for keeping me entertained these last 3 years ❤️
Cali saw you raking under the cabin floor, so she decided to lay down underneath so you had to see her! She is one smart dog! Then you handed her the food and she looked up and said, “me? Are you giving this to me?” I love to watch her face!
Cali seems to be adopting the area beneath your porch as her official dog house. 😁😁 The perfect place to be dry, out of the sun, to snooze and then be ready to pounce on any small mammals passing by. Great looking stairs.
@@ThejaBreLoL You realize that a dogs double coat also acts as a coolant for them as well as an insulator, right? It is why you should never shave a double coated dog for the summer because it actually makes it so they can't regulate their heat.
@@ThejaBreLoL O, for freaking PETE'S, sake! Cali is meant to look that way. Shawn and family, adore and care for their dog. What are you suggesting... Shear Cali like a sheep? What is your problem... Eh?
@@patriciabarnes7034 ohh WOW everybody stop i meant well, im a long supporter of the channel. Cant somebody share their experiences with dogs?? Just chill
Shawn I can tell this new homestead is going to be beautiful! It’s awesome that Cali has claimed her cool spot already! Great dog! 👍👍 Absolutely beautiful closing to this video! Video therapy 👍👍👍
What a nice place you have. I love the storage below the house. So much room for your vegetables and whatever else you decide can be put there. It gets better and better. So many wild animals around. I love the stream, the birds and most of all I love Cal who is your companion. Your scenery is beyond words.
Except it appeared to contain chives which are toxic to dogs, like all vegetables in the Allium family (onions, garlic, shallots, leeks, and chives). Many vegetables are good for our dogs but some things that are very good for us can be very harmful to them and you need to be vigilant when giving them "human food". Most people are unaware of this toxicity until their pet gets ahold of something they thought was innocuous and ends up getting sick. BTW, I've also emailed Shawn to alert him so that he's aware.
@@bdwilcox and you don't think the man who owns and feeds his dog daily knows what food is best for it ????? I'm utterly astounded at the comments people feel they have the need /right to make publicly !!!! I couldn't be a Y Tuber.... I couldn't deal with so many stupid people !!!
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 " I couldn't deal with so many stupid people !!!" Well, Einstein, try Googling "dogs allium toxicity" and try to educate yourself before calling anyone else stupid. No one's passing judgement on anyone here. Trying to raise awareness that vegetables in the Allium family are highly toxic to dogs and cats is called a public service. Most people have no idea until their dog or cat gets into a food containing some type of allium and gets sick. Now back under your bridge, troll.
Looking at today episode I hate to say it but it's more beautiful than other location of old cabin, it's going to be perfect when it's done love the Dome garden root cellar.... You've done such a great job 👍 Hope your warm through the winter.
Hi Shawn, I subscribed and began watching your videos 3.5 years ago. I've always loved the content you put out! Always!! But this particular one is absolutely stunning. I love the music choice and the video clips/scenes towards the end. For me it just all came together perfectly!! Congratulations and keep up the great work my friend.
I have to smile every time I see Cali. Many years ago, I bought a Golden Retriever and of course, she looked just like Cali. I had 3 boys and they played together all day long. What great pets they make. Wonderful dogs. That was back in the late 70's. I love the face they have, almost looking sad but, the rear end shows a different attitude. She's a great pet James, I love her from a far!!!!
I'm sure you received many comments about feeding Cali "off the table". I was absolutely thrilled to see that you had cooked and prepared "a plate" for your four legged companion. We see the wonderful, loving way you take care of Cali. Thank you.
Funny thing, I love watching you cook as much as I love watching you build and work around the homestead. Your meals look absolutely wonderful and I love the prep you show us. Thank you!
And now you have the kitchen with a wood stove and a roof over your head. Finishing windows, making fancy front door soon. You've come a long way, Cali is a great helper.
Enjoyed the entire video. Callie's antics are so funny, she is amazing to watch. Love her. The video at the end is enthrawling, it matched the music so well. It looked like the trees were on fire with that sunset. Thank you for this video.
Thanks again for sharing your life adventures with us. I can imagine how lovely peaceful it is where you’re building your new cabin. I can hear the wind in the trees, the water in the streams, the birds calling to each other. Thanks for the beautiful drone footage too!
Hello l'ami, continuez toujours vos vidéos, chaque semaine si vous pouvez, elles sont passionnantes, très enrichissantes, votre vie en forêt est extraordinaire, vos travaux depuis les débuts de la première cabane sont remarquables. Longue vie à vous, votre femme, vos filles, Cali....
Those stairs are everything! Love the style/design and durability factor. Cali is so chill which is why I love her so much. And those breadless burgers and taters looked so good! I'm a huge fan of the breadless burger and totally approve that dish. LOL! Have a good weekend Shawn. Your place will be a palace when it's completed.
The rise of each step should be the same, with the last one (the deck) being slightly less to eliminate stumbling hazards. By watching him ascend he appears to have it right.
Cali is a great dish-washer! The site is really starting to take shape - I know camera angles don't always give the proper perspective, but this is going to be a great (and lovely) place to live!
He’s feeding her onions and spicy peppers despite having had at least one seizure. Terrible, terrible, terrible lack of care for dogs. Poisoning your dogs knowingly and continually is a form of disgusting abuse.
Wowwww, I love the grand porch you've done and looks so durable & strong to last for years. I love the stairs you've done, too...Everything is a job well done 👍👍👍
The cabin looking out over the meadow will be perfect when finished. Sitting on the porch with your morning coffee, the peace and quiet will be incredible. You are quite the cook as well. Breakfast looks yummy. Thanks Shawn, be well and safe. God bless.
Shawn you have no idea what comfort your videos give me. My husband before he died wanted to do just what youre doing. A quiet life doing and living how he wanted. The outdoors was his passion and home . Your videos show me what could have been. I hope hes walking those deer paths and enjoying the peace of the wilderness. Maybe just around that corner.
Love the stairs you created!!! Can't wait to see it all completed and ready to move in. You are truly a fine worker in all you do. Your family must be so proud of you and your abilities.
Just getting back to watching your videos again and they make me realise how much I would love to be living the lifestyle that you are. Although it is a lot of hard work the rewards seem endless. Congratulations to you for doing the things you love most. During these covid affected times many of us are starting to think if we too are really doing the things we love most.
Shawn, do you enjoy the homestead planning stage or the actual building of it more? I love watching it all come together, thanks for bringing us along. Happy Friday, wishing you and your family happiness and health
This is not a Cabin building Vlog. This is a cooking show with a view and a dog's lifestyle vlog where you happen to also be building a cabin. Im so here for it.
What an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your videos. Peace and blessings to you and your family. God bless you and all your endeavors. You my friend have been there and done that. Your eye for God’s creation is incredible. Your editing skills - flawless. You my friend are my favorite bushcraft channel on you tube. I use to watch all your friends that you use to go on trips with. Out of all of them - remains your channel. You have kept it Simplistic and pure. I’ll give you 2 thumbs way way up
Was really nice watching this stair build! They look so great, so functional! The scenic film segments were sensational. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your life and life’s work with us. Mad respect
It is really awesome to see the start of your new cabin in another beautiful setting. Not that I did not love everything that you did at the first cabin, but sometimes you have to leave a toxic situation and do what feels right for you and live on your own terms. I take my hat off to you!
This is really nothing short of amazing. I've been watching Shawn working just about nonstop for a number of years. with amazing skills. to be there by yourself with no help, plus planning which is not easy at all. I think most people would not be able to cut just one log. and clean off the tree bark. let alone build an entire cabin with no help. simply Amazing. wishing you many more years of peaceful days and years.
Elizabeth says, Dearest Shawn, my husband and I are working toward our passion, inspired by how you handled yours in all you do. I've used your example in my conversation with him. My husband's passion has some of the particulars of My Self-Reliance, and he thinks about what he wants now!!! I want his happiness and I'm along for the great ride: my passion is not much different than his. Your example can't help but awaken what's in our hearts!
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! Just knew this was the one where OUR CALI is hiding under the porch by the steps !!! She is a great PUP indeed to have there !!! You have made some wonderful Steps there Shawn !!! Just love how thick they are they will last a long time now !!!
Shawn, whether you realize it or not'' You are the new Dick Proenneke. Of the 20th century ! You'll be in a history of how to book soon, You've earned it. Thank you.
Cool stairs. Another gorgeous ending! Those sun with the dead trees photos were just beautiful!!!! I think you said your wife take photos. If she took those tell her thank you.
For the 247 who have disliked...seriously? Why? What do you want? He's building a cabin at his pace, in his manner, sharing with you and showing you amazing wildlife scenes and his amazing dog, Callie...why would you possibly give a thumbs down? Can you do this? Could you REALLY do better? Doubtful.
This is awesome, cooking with Shawn James.Burgers on the cast iron skillet, love it. The steps look good and stout, love the big logs. Cali just chillin in the shade, this cabin is gonna be fantastic. We thank you for sharing your journey with the world. All the best from Michigan.
Your videos are so peaceful, its the first time i have noticed the neat tree with the crook in it. Nice location for a home made saddle planter for a box of happy flower faces for your wife!
Shaun, I’ve been following you videos weekly since you first started the old cabin. Your lifestyle and your workmanship are truly inspiring. I know you showed how you sharpen your tools a few years ago but I would love to see a video showing how you maintain your tools sharp through out your building projects. Maybe on your other channel. Thank you for sharing all this talent of yours.
I know that sound well! Those are Sandhill cranes. They make their way back and forth between your place an mine in North central Florida! We’re recently in my yard, walking around the neighborhood…….went to get out of my car at the grocery store and one was standing by my car door….they are huge!
Your "shows" can be short or long, all good as long as I get my fix of my future reality. It's truly amazing that you please almost 2mm subscribers, obviously works out for you, but we still thank for sharing. Friday nights or Saturday mornings would not be the same without you.
The greenhouse looks more and more like a small garden of eden Every time you go in there. Great job arranging it
Yes, I love the green house ambiance! The cabin is looking beautiful and solid!
Love the "Garden of Eden" metaphor.
Love that you are returning to building…your physical fitness and weight are fun to watch as you work…clearly building agrees with you ! Love the site, position and layout of the new build. I think you will all enjoy a little more space…not luxury…just space ! Brilliant work…thanks ! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

This is not a Cabin building Vlog. This is a cooking show with a view and a dog's lifestyle vlog where you happen to also be building a cabin. Im so here for it.
I so look forward to your videos. Thank you for continuing to do them! Cheers from CA.
I don’t know what I like more…watching you build or watching you cook 👍🏼
Very handyman and creative, I wish I have a man in my life like him😊
I love those steps. Using log's like that for the stringer is awesome. I will have to steal your idea. Thank you Shawn. Your homestead is amazing..
Looking beautiful... I love the simple log steps to the porch. Blessings to you, Cali and your family.
What an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your videos. Peace and blessings to you and your family. God bless you and all your endeavors. You my friend have been there and done that. Your eye for God’s creation is incredible. Your editing skills - flawless. You my friend are my favorite bushcraft channel on you tube. I use to watch all your friends that you use to go on trips with. Out of all of them - remains your channel. You have kept it Simplistic and pure. I’ll give you 2 thumbs way way up
at least you have your own entertainment with Callie around, she makes us chuckle too.
Your vision for your campsite is incredible. The progress is remarkable.
Cali so enjoyed her meal. Looking forward to the completed project.
the end of this video made me want to cry because of how beautiful it was
Was really nice watching this stair build! They look so great, so functional! The scenic film segments were sensational. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your life and life’s work with us. Mad respect
It is really awesome to see the start of your new cabin in another beautiful setting. Not that I did not love everything that you did at the first cabin, but sometimes you have to leave a toxic situation and do what feels right for you and live on your own terms. I take my hat off to you!
This is really nothing short of amazing. I've been watching Shawn working just about nonstop for a number of years.
with amazing skills.
to be there by yourself with no help, plus planning which is not easy at all. I think most people would not be able to cut just one log. and clean off the tree bark. let alone build an entire cabin with no help. simply Amazing.
wishing you many more years of peaceful days and years.
Elizabeth says, Dearest Shawn, my husband and I are working toward our passion, inspired by how you handled yours in all you do. I've used your example in my conversation with him. My husband's passion has some of the particulars of My Self-Reliance, and he thinks about what he wants now!!! I want his happiness and I'm along for the great ride: my passion is not much different than his. Your example can't help but awaken what's in our hearts!
Wow! Quintessential autumn nature captures. Gorgeous!
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! Just knew this was the one where OUR CALI is hiding under the porch by the steps !!! She is a great PUP indeed to have there !!! You have made some wonderful Steps there Shawn !!! Just love how thick they are they will last a long time now !!!

Shawn, whether you realize it or not''
You are the new Dick Proenneke.
Of the 20th century !
You'll be in a history of how to book soon,
You've earned it.
Thank you.
Cool stairs. Another gorgeous ending! Those sun with the dead trees photos were just beautiful!!!! I think you said your wife take photos. If she took those tell her thank you.
For the 247 who have disliked...seriously? Why? What do you want? He's building a cabin at his pace, in his manner, sharing with you and showing you amazing wildlife scenes and his amazing dog, Callie...why would you possibly give a thumbs down? Can you do this? Could you REALLY do better? Doubtful.
This is awesome, cooking with Shawn James.Burgers on the cast iron skillet, love it. The steps look good and stout, love the big logs. Cali just chillin in the shade, this cabin is gonna be fantastic. We thank you for sharing your journey with the world. All the best from Michigan.
Your videos are so peaceful, its the first time i have noticed the neat tree with the crook in it. Nice location for a home made saddle planter for a box of happy flower faces for your wife!
Dang, man, you're eating better than most of us with full access to stores! Props to you!
He's eating better in large part BECAUSE he's not eating store bought "food."
@@pinetree2473 especially with the thought of all the ugly things that are injected into the food and posioned with💀
@@smugbugs7031 We have choices. Not all stores sell toxic stuff.
@@pinetree2473 Yeah... can't fault that logic
@@marianfrances4959 fully agree
It is so nice seeing someone on utube who can actually use a kitchen knife. Very different skill to using a bush knife. Thank you.
Your building and growing and cooking are so inspiring, when it’s over I’m just waiting for next week ;) thanx for your filming and editing …
Greenhouse is AMAZING. Everything is AMAZING.
I love the building process but man those are some amazing nature shots at the end!
Shaun, I’ve been following you videos weekly since you first started the old cabin. Your lifestyle and your workmanship are truly inspiring. I know you showed how you sharpen your tools a few years ago but I would love to see a video showing how you maintain your tools sharp through out your building projects. Maybe on your other channel. Thank you for sharing all this talent of yours.
I know that sound well! Those are Sandhill cranes. They make their way back and forth between your place an mine in North central Florida! We’re recently in my yard, walking around the neighborhood…….went to get out of my car at the grocery store and one was standing by my car door….they are huge!
Yes. They are in Plant City Fl. Beautiful birds.
@@BarbrajoanOriginals I live in Gainesville and they are here too
Your "shows" can be short or long, all good as long as I get my fix of my future reality. It's truly amazing that you please almost 2mm subscribers, obviously works out for you, but we still thank for sharing. Friday nights or Saturday mornings would not be the same without you.
