You make it look easy when you sum it all up in under 5 min. Lots of hard work went into that cabin. You should be very proud of all the accomplishments. Job well done.
Thousands of men are now sitting back day dreaming about doing something like this, sadly only a few ever will. We are inherently wired to build a shelter, it’s why kids build forts to practice like puppy dogs fighting other pups...there is something almost spiritual about watching this man build his cabin all alone in the forest. Well done. Thanks for sharing
Opens up your mind with a comment like that 🥰merry Xmas everybody bless you all and I pray mankind sorts itself out and destroys the elite brainwashing us ants 🐜 🇬🇧🧠💞
People negatively commenting about the cutting down of trees. Even suggesting he should be repurposing a shipping container---my opinion is this------You go live in a boxcar Willy!. Dollar to a donut this man has more understanding and respect for the environment than anyone posting here.
My question is, should you be mad at one guy chopping down a few trees for a cabin, or should you be angry at the corporations behind mass deforestation across the globe? I think we all know the answer. Edit: a damn gorgeous cabin at that, this is great work
Trees like all living things die. They also regrow. Some ppl are just indoctrinated idiots! They don’t know anything about nature. The only thing that bothers me about this video is that it’s not me doing it.
@C W there is a difference between an environmentalist and a poser, an environmentalist knows that these are maple trees and by the location which is canada they know that its a fast growing and sometime invasive species. Its not wrong to build a cabin out of it, its what real men do, with the available resources, its sustainable. The people who are talking shit probably dont have proper education, and know nothing about the environment or the means of conservation. And you also dont get to generalize " environmentalist" because what you are saying isnt true.
When I do this for myself, I'll have a reasonable size planned out with a design, and calculate all the logs and lengths that I would need and just like Minecraft, gather the resources beforehand, stockpile until I have the inventory to construct. I feel like the biggest deterrent would be starting gradually, building the walls and running out of supplies.. do each step all in one go so no need to backtrack. Planning is key
Spurious Aparrently, soy contains something the body sees as female hormones. So insecure people refer to other men as a "soyboy" saying that they basically arent manly enough
I have so much respect for anybody that has the will power and the dedication to do something like this. It's definitely a goal of mine to buy a plot of land and build a house on it. But honestly, I wouldn't know where to start, so I love spending time watching videos like these to give me ideas on what I could do. So thank you. Inspirational.
You have already started, your idea is out there and when the time comes you will have the strength to turn your idea into reality. Ask yourself this: what hurts more? The pain of hard work or the pain of regret?
@@alfonsomoreno4786Glad to hear the comment had a positive collateral effect! With so much hate and negativity on the internet these days it's nice to see some positive things being said for a change
@@Nesseird People sprouting inspirational bullshit is so annoying and cringe worthy. Man if he is going to do it he will if he won't he won't, he hasn't started anything just because he has an idea or concept of wanting to do it. Stop reading/watching inspirational videos and come to the real world.
I am really impressed. Of course by the skill, but also by the fact that there is a place where you can cut down trees and erect buildings on your own initiative, without being harassed by a bunch of institutions. Crazy.
Landon Brown that’s still an issue in pretty much all of the US. Can’t build it too close to the property line can’t build it over a certain sq footage or else you have to pay the government money for a permit and then you have to pay them more money to get it inspected and in some places you can’t even chop down the trees without getting a permit for every single one
He handles those logs as if they are tinker toys. Amazing! I especially appreciate his background music, how it enhances rather than obscuring the action. Thank you, Shawn.
A quick comment to the people who downvoted due to tree slaughter: as long as the cabin doesn't burn down, all the embodied carbon will stay in the logs, and selectively cutting down trees will allow more vegetation to flourish in its place. As long as he's not clear-cutting the forest, this is a very sustainable means of construction.
I used to think climate change didn't exist either. But eventually the more I dove into the science if it, the more irrefutable I found it and the flimsier the arguments against it became. I know the comments section on TH-cam is not the place to convince anyone, but keep an open mind, research the other point of view, and you might surprise yourself.
I don’t understand this comment. Did you not see this video? Your statement makes it sound like videos like this aren’t on TH-cam anymore, even though this video shows the opposite is true. Not only that, search for videos like this and there’s thousands of videos of diy stuff. You just need to know where to look and how to search. Don’t be so nostalgic when it hasn’t even changed much.
It's very interesting coming back to this video after watching Shawn finally cover half of the roof building his new cabin. The construction methods are totally different and you can tell he's learned a lot over the years. What happened at the first cabin really sucked, but seeing the new one and the new property he's building it on I think it was for the best. The new cabin looks amazing so far and is massive in comparison!
@@HEYWANDERER someone moved in near his property and they were going to build a road via public domain right on top of the cabin through his property. Also if I remember correctly in a video he said his neighbors were also a bit rude and may have doxed his location. The man just wants to live a quiet peaceful life, can't really blame him for moving and starting over.
When i was very young my late father and i build a wooden house in our farm area..well i only watched mostly since i was too small..i miss him..u reminds me of my father
In this crazy mixed up world of 2020, this man is one of the few i can really admire in our public video space. He creates a wonderful living space and enjoys it with spouse and pet - and he understands how to be alone with his dog and to find joy in his wildnerness solitude.
My salute to you. You have shown again that a person can achieve anything when he/she is determined, prepared to face hardships along the way, and with a clear and focused mind marching ahead seriously and constantly . Hats off to you sir..
When i first clicked on this video I thought there was no way this isn't clickbait, but to my surprise it wasn't! Saying that this is incredible would be an understatement, truly an amazing feat!
[Hero]Devin Kroells stop with the retarded ideas like thinking "blue lives" are a race and trump is a good person and maybe you'd be able to do a simple task like build a bird house...or make rational decisions.

Got a gift, when you can have 5 million viewers and a video without a single spoken word. People are there building with you....it is a very intriguing concept...congratulations on many levels.
When I think to myself how far down humanity has sunk and then I see what you have done by yourself and what you have accomplished, and then to share intimate details of your life as you were building shows the kind of man you are and it inspires and tells me that humanity can and will survive when people remember what is most important in life, bless you for all you have done and for the mental therapy and words of wisdom, from a friend and admirer of your craftsmanship.

Fantastic Shawn. I can only imagine how proud you must feel when you step back from the day, and watch your accomplishments unfold in stunning beauty in front of you. I’ve scrolled through the comments below, and you, sir, have stirred the emotions and desires of many.
You know friend, I have been watching this project from the beginning, and I am still amazed. It seems like there is not enough hours in a day, or enough strength in a man to complete a feat such as this. Thank you for sharing this snapshot of your life with us, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future!
Hi Shawn , I have been watching the progress of your Log Cabin In The Forest since its beginning , I have to say that it's been much more than a cabin building lesson for me . From learning how to use natural materials harvested from the forest using absolutely no power tools as well as your Self Reflections at the ending of each video , I have learned much more about myself my dreams and goals that I've realized through your teachings are even at the age of 57 , still obtainable for me. Thank you Shawn. I do have to say although we have never physically met and we come from completely different lifestyles, I consider us friends . So I'll finish this long comment with two simple words . Thank you.
Hi, Shawn. As a Brazilian lady, living in Michigan for the last 14 years, I am truly amazed with your perseverance, your strength and courage. I agreed when you said about all these bad people criticizing you. You know, in Brazil we say: “ It’s easy pointing fingers when they are not on your place or under someone’s shoes!” Nobody pays your bills! Some people are SO LITTLE!!!! You are enthusiastic, you don’t give up! Be proud of yourself as all your nice subscribers are, including myself! In my concept you are big example of life! Congratulations! Happy New Year! 🇧🇷Regina🇺🇸
Love the video! After watching all of the cabin videos, this video truly gives the viewer (or at least me ) a true appreciation of the level of work and pride taken for ONE man to accomplish this task. This is truly a work of art!! Well Done!
You are one smart fella and although i cannot even build a house out of cards, i have the most respect and admiration for what you accomplished. You are amazing !
I'll tell you what I got out of this. Not only is this guy who built the cabin very talented he also is one strong son of a gun. The way he threw those logs around really impressed me. Beautiful cabin my friend.
DarkClow 1983 1)I don't think the word genocide means what you think it means. 2) He plants new trees. 3) It's a demonstration, not a housing project. 4) In many instances using "modern materials" would consume far more natural resources than it would to build something with the resources at hand.
Francisco Duran , This project was awe inspiring, PERIOD!! Forget the money forget the time, the man did something one in 10,000 could not do! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Francisco Duran we could give you all the time and money in the world and you couldn’t duplicate that in your lifetime. You’re really good at TH-cam comments though. Keep up the great work.
I was about to dislike it because I felt it skipped so many crucial steps I wanted to see, but then I matured for some reason after watching this at an extraordinary rate and hit the Like anyway
It is really cool... But to say it's one of the most amazing accomplishments you've ever seen? We broke the speed of sound. We mastered flight. We traveled to the moon. We cured malaria. And this used to be very common thing to do, few centuries ago, noone would bat an eye... Sure, it's cool, but come on.
Hi I’m Puertorican living in Indiana ,congratulations for that work of art ! I can be hours and hours watching your videos , I’m learning and admire your work , thank you !
I've done manual timber harvests and some timber fabrication here in Florida and love this video! Manual labor, hand tools, perseverance and skill is not only extremely practical but can also be profitable! Sitting in an office in front of a computer is slow motion suicide.
I have friends building a similar home outside Fairbanks AK. I know how much work goes into a project like this and they have help. Although your video does a great job it doesn’t show the sweat, bloody knuckles, frustrating do overs and sore muscles for a year or more. You are a rare breed of man not seen in this day and age. Thank you for showing us there are still good men around will old fashioned skills.
My hand hurts. All that manual sawing. :o I've cut trees down with a buck saw and just cutting through a single tree is quite a lot of work. Cross cutting an entire log into planks... :o
This was awesome. No talking no cooking no dog no wife no visitors. Just pure construction. Thank youn. Wish I could afford to hire you to build one on apiece of property I have.
this is a man who knows what he wants in life, and it's nothing that cost him a fortune, its NATURE, PEACE, AND QUIET...And it also shows this man can work his ass off....I love your videos!.
Fabulous! And oh my God, all the hand tools. You must have been dog tired at the end of every day. That was a ton of work, and it looks great! I particularly like your little Pantry under the floor.
Mr Shawn James, New to your channel and in the little time I've been watching I notice a couple of things, first this video, it shows words don't need to be used to tell the story, secondly you keep referencing Bushcraft... I disagree, you sir are a "craftman", Shawn your passion and love of your family, craft and nature is inspiring. Please continue your mission for it brings serenity and peace to my hectic world in which I struggle in. Thank you
I love the pretty wood house, so relaxing in the middle of prairie..such a nice family. How I wish I could live there. I'm Celia watching from Philippines. God bless, you are an inspiration. Good luck...
I actually subscribed to your channel after the giant lean to build with joe. I've been watching the cabin build since the begening. I just showed my wife this video and she was blown away that someone could accomplish all by themselves. Amazing stuff man, truly are an inspiration.
Awe inspiring video, and very motivating. Everything from location to design, brilliant and well thought out. So much hard physical work has gone into this and it's amazing to watch.
You make it look easy when you sum it all up in under 5 min. Lots of hard work went into that cabin. You should be very proud of all the accomplishments. Job well done.

You can see some seasons come and go. Took a long time to build.

Part of the way through this, I would be getting philosophical and ask myself "How big does a house really need to be?" 😂

Don't ask questions when building

When I do this for myself, I'll have a reasonable size planned out with a design, and calculate all the logs and lengths that I would need and just like Minecraft, gather the resources beforehand, stockpile until I have the inventory to construct.

Inspiring. Makes me want to move off grid and build a cabin. Leave the rat race behind.
Lai Saephan do it
Me too... I want to keep my distance from society but not too far away... Sometimes society is like poison...
I'm on my way to be professional trader so as long as I have internet i can live anywhere...
Me too!

Sounds good to me.
Il n'y a pas de mot pour dire combien j'admire votre travail, votre patience et votre force. C'est magnifique, j'aurais bien envie de vivre là loin de la fureur du monde. Merci pour ce partage !
Fantastic Shawn. I can only imagine how proud you must feel when you step back from the day, and watch your accomplishments unfold in stunning beauty in front of you. I’ve scrolled through the comments below, and you, sir, have stirred the emotions and desires of many.
You know friend, I have been watching this project from the beginning, and I am still amazed. It seems like there is not enough hours in a day, or enough strength in a man to complete a feat such as this. Thank you for sharing this snapshot of your life with us, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future!
Hi Shawn , I have been watching the progress of your Log Cabin In The Forest since its beginning , I have to say that it's been much more than a cabin building lesson for me . From learning how to use natural materials harvested from the forest using absolutely no power tools as well as your Self Reflections at the ending of each video , I have learned much more about myself my dreams and goals that I've realized through your teachings are even at the age of 57 , still obtainable for me. Thank you Shawn. I do have to say although we have never physically met and we come from completely different lifestyles, I consider us friends . So I'll finish this long comment with two simple words . Thank you.
Thank YOU
Hi, Shawn.
As a Brazilian lady, living in Michigan for the last 14 years, I am truly amazed with your perseverance, your strength and courage. I agreed when you said about all these bad people criticizing you. You know, in Brazil we say: “ It’s easy pointing fingers when they are not on your place or under someone’s shoes!” Nobody pays your bills!
Some people are SO LITTLE!!!!
You are enthusiastic, you don’t give up!
Be proud of yourself as all your nice subscribers are, including myself!
In my concept you are big example of life! Congratulations! Happy New Year!
🇧🇷Regina🇺🇸
Home sweet home, just your positive happy self with your dog, the great spirit and mother nature,well done
There was something touching and almost spiritual about this.
Love the video! After watching all of the cabin videos, this video truly gives the viewer (or at least me ) a true appreciation of the level of work and pride taken for ONE man to accomplish this task. This is truly a work of art!! Well Done!
You are one smart fella and although i cannot even build a house out of cards, i have the most respect and admiration for what you accomplished. You are amazing !
You sir are one hell of a man. I have nothing but respect for your tenacity, knowledge and endurance.
I'll tell you what I got out of this. Not only is this guy who built the cabin very talented he also is one strong son of a gun. The way he threw those logs around really impressed me. Beautiful cabin my friend.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
That is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you for those awesome 5 minutes. Finally 5 well spent minutes on TH-cam!
Duuuuuude amazing work and video! Wow! Super impressive! 👏👏👏😎
I'm always amazed at how someone could downvote a video like this. What the heck is the problem?
Great video.
it's genocide of trees. That was not needed in 21 ST. You can use more modern materials.
DarkClow 1983 1)I don't think the word genocide means what you think it means. 2) He plants new trees. 3) It's a demonstration, not a housing project. 4) In many instances using "modern materials" would consume far more natural resources than it would to build something with the resources at hand.
surfbouy you... Just... Served.... That.... Millennial....
DarkClow 1983: so where do u think the wood came from to build all the other houses...do u live outside?
DarkClow 1983: what material 'wood' you use?
The type of satisfaction you'd have after finally being done would be more than words could explain this is such a job well done it looks so cozy
People who dislike this are probably just envious. They know they don’t have the grit to do something like this and never will. Fantastic video
Francisco Duran , This project was awe inspiring, PERIOD!! Forget the money forget the time, the man did something one in 10,000 could not do! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Francisco Duran we could give you all the time and money in the world and you couldn’t duplicate that in your lifetime. You’re really good at TH-cam comments though. Keep up the great work.
😁👋👍
I was about to dislike it because I felt it skipped so many crucial steps I wanted to see, but then I matured for some reason after watching this at an extraordinary rate and hit the Like anyway
I'm envious, but I'm upvoting the video.
Of all the trash on TH-cam, it was uplifting to watch a video like this completely by accident, you good sir, are an inspiration
This is easily one of the coolest things / accomplishments I've ever seen! Amazing job good sir!
It is really cool... But to say it's one of the most amazing accomplishments you've ever seen? We broke the speed of sound. We mastered flight. We traveled to the moon. We cured malaria. And this used to be very common thing to do, few centuries ago, noone would bat an eye... Sure, it's cool, but come on.
This dude must be strong as hell to build this alone with no power tools
success chaser
Plus he built this thing in less than 5 mins
Hi I’m Puertorican living in Indiana ,congratulations for that work of art ! I can be hours and hours watching your videos , I’m learning and admire your work , thank you !
I've done manual timber harvests and some timber fabrication here in Florida and love this video! Manual labor, hand tools, perseverance and skill is not only extremely practical but can also be profitable! Sitting in an office in front of a computer is slow motion suicide.
Douglas J. O'Brien
Literally laughing out loud as I read your post!
Douglas J. O'Brien
Slow motion suicide 😁
Put beautifully 👍🏼
Douglas J. O'Brien hell yea bro i dont do thiss kinda of work but i rebuild motors and transmission for gm and every year they are different
Douglas J. O'Brien You could of built your own log cabin in the time it took you to commit this slow motion suicide.
1st world problems
I have friends building a similar home outside Fairbanks AK. I know how much work goes into a project like this and they have help. Although your video does a great job it doesn’t show the sweat, bloody knuckles, frustrating do overs and sore muscles for a year or more. You are a rare breed of man not seen in this day and age. Thank you for showing us there are still good men around will old fashioned skills.
Wow. Just wow.
(I love the way that the seasons just casually drift by in the background.)
I have nothing but huge admiration and respect for you.
I wish you all the best. 🙏
That was quite beautiful. So lovely to see someone following their dreams and working hard to achieve them. Well done!
wow. my back hurts just watching this. Amazing work.
Chris Romero, LOL SAME!
My hand hurts. All that manual sawing. :o I've cut trees down with a buck saw and just cutting through a single tree is quite a lot of work. Cross cutting an entire log into planks... :o
He's an extraordinary craftsman with a strong initiative to do what he did. There are so few now!
Agreed
Hillsong. Yes i am
I aspire to be an extraordinary one day!!!
This was awesome. No talking no cooking no dog no wife no visitors. Just pure construction. Thank youn. Wish I could afford to hire you to build one on apiece of property I have.
That was hard .i appreciate that man
One of the most unbelievable videos on youtube.. thank you recommended list
this is a man who knows what he wants in life, and it's nothing that cost him a fortune, its NATURE, PEACE, AND QUIET...And it also shows this man can work his ass off....I love your videos!.
I really loved his fridge. At first I had no Idea what the purpose was for the hole in the house until I saw the jars. Best fridge ever.
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen a man build.
Fabulous! And oh my God, all the hand tools. You must have been dog tired at the end of every day. That was a ton of work, and it looks great! I particularly like your little Pantry under the floor.
Mr Shawn James,
New to your channel and in the little time I've been watching I notice a couple of things, first this video, it shows words don't need to be used to tell the story, secondly you keep referencing Bushcraft... I disagree, you sir are a "craftman", Shawn your passion and love of your family, craft and nature is inspiring.
Please continue your mission for it brings serenity and peace to my hectic world in which I struggle in. Thank you
I love the pretty wood house, so relaxing in the middle of prairie..such a nice family. How I wish I could live there. I'm Celia watching from Philippines. God bless, you are an inspiration. Good luck...
First video ever that I put on 0,5 speed and actually really enjoyed it👍
dallas168 The sound is weird though... but I agree
I actually subscribed to your channel after the giant lean to build with joe. I've been watching the cabin build since the begening. I just showed my wife this video and she was blown away that someone could accomplish all by themselves. Amazing stuff man, truly are an inspiration.
This man is a legend.
steven s no you shut up. that man is a legend indeed.
*steven s,* no u
Awe inspiring video, and very motivating.
Everything from location to design, brilliant and well thought out. So much hard physical work has gone into this and it's amazing to watch.
It took me three days just to put together IKEA furniture and he builds a cabin alone. Yeah I truly impressed
Going from watching primitive videos on making small houses to this really shows the change proper well made tools has got us
