Hey Shawn, great stuff! Just caught and started viewing a few days ago, now hard to stop. Just saw the condensed /high speed version of the cabin build here when viewing on my new laptop. You've acquired quite a following on that vid alone.. love what you've done and continue to do. Thanks,, an appreciative viewer.
Coincidence I watched your videos I was weeks ago I feel not wanting to live I'm bored And also the stress of work and life After watching you I felt that life is wonderful and not worth all of this anxiety You are a wonderful person and very inspiring Thank you for giving me hope for life and I can change my life for the best even with the simple things👍💐
Oh how soothing your videos are, thank you! The world can be topsy turvy and all turned around at times with worries and stress. Your beautiful videos into a world outside of all these problems create a sense of warmth and peace. We're battling the effects of brain aneurysm for a dear, close friend, she's fighting for her life, and when your at a loss for action or words, turning to basics and nature is so comforting. Thank you again for your efforts, God bless and much peace to your family.
Your cabin is awesome Shawn, even the orange chairs work. I have enjoyed watching the kitchen build this summer and I am really looking forward to the bath house and sauna next season. You never post a boring video, that’s going some. Roll on the next one.
Love the way Cali opened and closed the vlog - such a photogenic girl, she is! My wife commented on the solar lights over the sink/counter, how it added needed light to the area, and also the solar power for your laptop. Cabin is definitely homier and more comfy than a year ago! Remember to stay safe! As always - - - An Armchair Adventurer
I cant even begin to imagine what the thumbs down reactions are about. I hope you never let that discourage you in any way. Once again an excellent video! Allows most of us to escape for just a bit and thank you for that. I am enjoying the 2 videos a week now and look forward to each one. I hope you continue to share with us. Thank you and your wife for the time and effort you both put into this, it's much appreciated! Have a blessed week!
Anti-gun, anti-tree cutting downers. Basically people who thoroughly believe they solely know how life should be lived, and that everyone should have the very same principles and beliefs as them. In my opinion of course.
Can we please stop worrying about the dislikes. Every time he uploads there’s a million people pointing it out. It sucks but it’s just a fact when you upload to TH-cam no matter how perfect the content is you’re gonna get downvoted either by people who hates themselves and/or bots. Unless there is an unusual amount of phantom dislikes I don’t see why it needs to be pointed out. He’s a grown man he can handle it ;)
I love how you portray the day to day life. Not just the romanticism, taking that tree down and showing the labor involved. Awesome job, don't change a thing.
Shawn, we followed you a year ago and we think it's wonderful everything you've achieved with your own hands. Me and my girlfriend have a propiety in the country, we like to go some weekends and plan our future there. And somehow you inspire us with your philosophy and way of life. Keep going, Shawn. You inspire us! Greetings from Uruguay. (Sorry for my English)
So glad to see a damper on the stovepipe get installed. Cali....what can I say? She's such a beautiful companion for you. I loved the way she sneaked into your chair..ha-ha! I think she has you wrapped around her little "paw"...and as always, a delightful video!
“But Dad, I like your chair best, It’s the softest spot in this room, and it smells like you”. No one could be more adored by an animal than you are by Cally. What a beautiful place and what a smart man. I sit here completely engrossed. Thanks for sharing all of this with us.
We have an older folk who has been around the block a time or two who has and will always be full of wisdom. I consider you a great mentor and strategist who’s got his pictures in order. Thank you!
Mr. James, long may yer big jib draw! You have mastered the recipe for joyful living and you adeptly share it with us viewers. There is a vibe, an ethos, a philosophy that you imbue through your video sharing that tickles us all to remember what lies beyond the borders of concrete and steel. Thoreau would be proud Sir... Bless you for all you do and how you do it. Carpe Diem!
Thank you for taking the time for recording every little detail. The way you make your videos lead us to observe, to make a pause and think. You're videos are not only visually attractive but deeply philosophical and inspiring.
Love all your videos Shawn, very fun to watch and I learned a lot so far. Not just from what you do on your vids but what you say as well. Love the cabin and everything you added. A wilderness cooks dream too. Cheers
Uwielbiam oglądać Twoje filmy. Jesteś bardzo uzdolniony technicznie, Twoje pomysły są dla wielu ludzi inspiracją do działania. Twój własnoręcznie zrobiony dom to już jest marzenie wielu ludzi, którzy uwielbiają kontakt z naturą, a Ty masz to na co dzień, tylko pozazdrościć Tobie. Pozdrawiam i czekam na kolejny odcinek Pana z czworonożnym przyjacielem. Wielki szacunek dla Ciebie.
Sean, I'm a 66 year old woman (yikes!), went camping once in my life and I can't get enough of your videos. Very relaxing and a great way to start the morning.
When Cali ran through with the squeaky toy, our Border Collie immediately went to check out her squeeky ball! You can never be too careful!! Well done for hand-sawing the tree. Good work on the chimney too. An all around productive time. Regards Stephen.
I’m so excited to see the bathhouse being built. It’s going to be a great project and I can’t wait to see everything that you do and all the fine touches that you add to make living in your piece of heaven a little bit more luxurious. Also, noticed the deer hide by the woodshed. You should give us a lesson on how you tan the hides you preserve. And finally, I have to mention that as I was reading through the comments I realized something. You get such great, supportive comments from such a diversity of people it kind of gives me hope that maybe if the politicians weren’t running things we could all get along. There are always three or four nuts but at least most of us could work things out and I find that encouraging. Thanks for another great video Shawn!
I have been following the cabine life for 'bout a year. 'stil wondering why watching a man making stew or chopping wood is mind satisfying. Thanks for your limitless efforts to share your experience. I wish this trail will keep you going for many more autumns. Et un pouce bleu pour la qualité des montages vidéos.
The war will end soon .. The situation is very good now I live in the coastal province .. Tartous city ... The situation is very safe today and life is normal
Hi and good to be here again. Happy good day to you Shawn and Cali. Beautiful cabin you have made your dreams come true. Must be very cold out there now for winter is approaching. Hope Cali will be kept warm too.Thank you for your lovely video everytime Ijust pop in here. Take care. Hugs to Cali as well from Borneo Malaysia. Been watching your video since the last winter . Time flies quickly.
I can only imagine then pride and satisfaction you feel when you survey what you have achieved in the short time you have been building your wilderness haven
I went off grid in 2011. To the mountains of Mexico. 16X20 cabin no running water. No electricity. I do have a lil solar for my cell phone. I love it. I will never go back. I come out the mountain 4 times a year for supplies. I eat alot of game. I trade for beef with a family couple miles down the mountain. I had chickens. And couple of pigs. And one goat. He helps me keep my so called yard down. Lol. Nice vid. Go off grid
With your laptop and you cabin offgrid, you just made my day. I`m saying that would be my dream house since forever. Love it. Thank you for sharing those moments.
I rewatched a lot of your old videos in anticipation for this weeks video. They are just as good the second time around. It's still amazing how much you have accomplished in a year.
Very good, really enjoyed watching and very well done with felling that tree. Loved how Cali tried to steal your seat 😀. The cabin looks gorgeous and cosy.
Living this lifestyle really helps put things in perspective. Something as simple as making a coffee isn't taken for granted. Everything done with care. This is hard work and pays with peace.
Every time one of your videos end, I let out a sigh...these precious jewels are to be treasured! :-) You have become such a fabulous videographer...each video is like a little movie. Thank you SO much!
I find myself looking forward to your videos each week. So peaceful out there in the woods. I love the home you've made and can't wait to see the bathhouse/sauna build. Cali is such a great dog, I wish I could give her a big hug!! I wish I could give you a big hug too!! Thanks for sharing your wilderness life with us.
Another great video Shawn! It's still warm here in Italy, I'll go to the beach later today! PS. We usually soak our beans for 12-16 hours before cooking here, it makes them softer and they cook faster.
Elizabeth L. Johnson said, Really like your editing. The peace and quiet are satisfying----to me, right through the video! I/m looking for several acres in the wilderness where my husband will get to build a log cabin (a long-time dream, we're 62 now). We already live off grid, use solar, and our heat in only a wood-burning stove. Thanks for showing us the simple things: cooking, taking out a tree; so back to earth! And for posting some of the merchandise under your video. Makes it easy to purchase for Christmas. I like the simple life you're living: no controversy, and complaining. A man of few words. Well done.
Shawn, your little cabin and simplistic lifestyle are such an inspiration! I hope and pray that some day I can step out of the rat race and enjoy peaceful solitude like you. I also hope you keep this channel going for many years to come.
love all the people who question why you didn't use a chainsaw but don't ask why people pay to go to the gym ha! you are obviously very fit and that's why because your not scared of hard work. I use a Japanese pull saw and love it compared to push saws, you should try one out very handy tools.your the man Shawn show people what you can do if your willing to work hard for it!
I just removed some rust and repainted my wood stove with high temp paint. Also installed a better stove pipe and chimney cap. My "cabin" is not the beautiful, hand-made gem in the woods you have created; just a 12x12 Alaknak tent in the backyard here in Illinois, but it's my winter telecomuting office until I can retire in 11 years. Thank you for being an inspiration!
Laura, check out JoeandZachSurvival channel. He has some great videos on his permanent tent in the woods of northern Minnesota. He does a bit here and there and over the years it's really nice. 💜🌞🌵
Another routine day in Shawn’s world... awesome! You and that Boreal 21 made light work of that tree. Enjoy the weekend! Thanks as always for just bring yourself!
What an enjoyable video! It's funny how in the beginning of autumn, it's invigorating to get things done, while the days are so perfect. Then later on, a sense of urgency begins to creep in, when the weather has a little more bite to it. The trees aren't quite as colorful, and the land is so carpeted with leaves. Cali has her squeaky toy, and tries to steal your chair--well, she knew you wouldn't let her, but she wanted to let you know she likes that chair, the one her human prefers. :D Thoroughly enjoyable. And the cooking is always appreciated! Thank you, Shawn.
The shot at 26:19 shows the range and the left hand side of the cabin , it looks warm and inviting and ,,,,,,well established, and homey. It looks so wonderful Shawn.
As usual a great video. Maybe during the winter months, you can do a compilation video of Cali during the summer and what she got up to, I find her to be very entertaining, she is a beautiful creature. To my fellow subscribers, If this is a popular request "thumbs up" this. Thanks, Shawn for the uploads.
Loved watching and listening to the wind blowing through the trees while you were cooking. So relaxing and inviting, could almost feel the wind from here lol.
This is perfect. I've always liked watching men work with their hands. The power of their muscles is a wonder. Like it that you don't use any gas powered tools. Chain saws are for sissies! I'm 80 years old and yes, I can say that!
Cali wants that chair😆. You might as well give in.... she’s already decided it’s hers😏. Loved seeing the wind blowing and all the signs of the season changing to winter soon. What grand video of the final yellows of the season at their height.. but with that wind they will soon be gone. Chili’s the perfect start to Fall meals to come. I see the animal skin drying too so meat must soon be on the menu. Thanks for sharing another beautiful Fall with us Shawn. It’s a winner!
Shawn your world-wide team learn as we enjoy your presentation. In every way you teach by silent demonstration, that consideration, preparation and careful execution of the project is the formula for success. Instant gratification in fact takes time. Your delicious pot-cooked meal is a classic example. Long before your meal, you had collected the ingredients and stored them in glass jars on display in your kitchen. In your mind you had visualized your meal and each step necessary. The 'old school' cast iron pot is the perfect slow cooking vessel, to which you added good quality harvest. The meal cooked slowly as you worked hard. Rest and well earned reward to nourish your body and soul. By sad contrast, the MRE bag of dangerous preservative chemicals, further deceived by artificial flavours and colours satisfies none. Thank you to our careful mentor. Greetings to all from Greg in Thailand
When I was a kid the books like 'Robinson Crusoe', 'Mysterious Island' were among my favorite ones. I was enjoying the very process of building a new home from zero. It was very inspirational. I tried most of the experiments based on Cyrus Smith ideas. Luckily to me and my parents, I would not able to find all the ingredients to make a nitroglycerin. Your channel is bringing my childhood's memories. I like working with a wood and I would consider myself as a handyman. That's why your working process looks so tasty to me. Almost like a meditation I like your relaxed approach (or at least this is how it seems). I can see while you're enjoying the results you don't miss enjoying the very process. That's important! That's true nirvana :)
Good Morning Shawn. I see you're at it as usual. I still am not pleased that the "Bath House and Sauna" are taking precedence over my humble abode up there,,,lol. Thank you for another fine video and Thank You to all the subscribers with the comments as I enjoy reading them as well. It reassures me that there are still some normal people left in this world or at least what I consider normal by the way I was raised. I'm still in the preparation stages for winter coming upon us here as well and being a busy body. I do not envy you btw seeing as you have to film and edit too! I have tons on my plate and that would definitely slow me down. Till our next coffee and Cali show ~
Glad you got that tree down! The inside of the cabin looks so clean and cozy. Its hard to believe you were still working on it last year. It's beautiful! And the squeaky toy is wonderful, I just love Cali. What a companion!!💖
Leaves are changed..Awesome pictures of the lake...I can honestly say I miss the change of season..I grew up in N.J. I have been living in Tampa Florida for some time now...Of course there is no fall down hear the highs during the day are still 95 f. I miss them autumn days and nights.......T.Gunz..........
@19:01 I was a little mesmerized by watching you saw that log. I know that's some hard work. Then I heard a squeaking noise and at first, I thought, "Is his saw making that sound?"
Love these videos...……...I find them to be very relaxing, calming. You're a very hard working, industrious guy Shawn. Today's younger folks should all be required to watch and write a report in school about this.
Thanks Shawn for a nice and relaxing video. Winter is coming that´s for sure although we have had a warm autumn here in Finland. Today it´s sunny and about 10C, not bad for mid October :)
Every time I am amazed at the fact that the seasons at your cabin are so much more extreme than those in the Netherlands. Despite the fact that we live on the 52nd degree of latitude. Thanks for sharing your life and thoughts at your cabin.
its lovily too see a tinker mind at work.awesome thinking ,in wraping tree with logs an rope,before cutting..have a great tuesday.
Sometimes I'll just leave your videos playing the background. The sounds of nature and construction are oddly soothing.
Hey Shawn, great stuff! Just caught and started viewing a few days ago, now hard to stop. Just saw the condensed /high speed version of the cabin build here when viewing on my new laptop. You've acquired quite a following on that vid alone.. love what you've done and continue to do. Thanks,, an appreciative viewer.
Coincidence
I watched your videos
I was weeks ago I feel not wanting to live I'm bored
And also the stress of work and life
After watching you I felt that life is wonderful and not worth all of this anxiety
You are a wonderful person and very inspiring
Thank you for giving me hope for life and I can change my life for the best even with the simple things👍💐
In a complicated world your video are soothing. 👍
Oh how soothing your videos are, thank you! The world can be topsy turvy and all turned around at times with worries and stress. Your beautiful videos into a world outside of all these problems create a sense of warmth and peace. We're battling the effects of brain aneurysm for a dear, close friend, she's fighting for her life, and when your at a loss for action or words, turning to basics and nature is so comforting. Thank you again for your efforts, God bless and much peace to your family.
I guess Miss Cali likes the orange chairs as well. I love your attitude toward her. It says a lot about what's in your heart.God bless you sir.
I totally agree!!! 😃
I agree too, Cali is such a pretty, sweetheart.
Sir, your channel is helping me to fight against my depression. Thank you!
Your cabin is awesome Shawn, even the orange chairs work.
I have enjoyed watching the kitchen build this summer and I am really looking forward to the bath house and sauna next season. You never post a boring video, that’s going some. Roll on the next one.
Thank you for sharing with us. I really really appreciate every quiet moment. It is calming, and inspiring.
Love the way Cali opened and closed the vlog - such a photogenic girl, she is! My wife commented on the solar lights over the sink/counter, how it added needed light to the area, and also the solar power for your laptop. Cabin is definitely homier and more comfy than a year ago! Remember to stay safe! As always - - - An Armchair Adventurer
Good Friday Shawn & Cali! The log cabin looks really nice, warm, and comfortable!
I cant even begin to imagine what the thumbs down reactions are about. I hope you never let that discourage you in any way.
Once again an excellent video! Allows most of us to escape for just a bit and thank you for that. I am enjoying the 2 videos a week now and look forward to each one. I hope you continue to share with us.
Thank you and your wife for the time and effort you both put into this, it's much appreciated!
Have a blessed week!

Can we please stop worrying about the dislikes. Every time he uploads there’s a million people pointing it out. It sucks but it’s just a fact when you upload to TH-cam no matter how perfect the content is you’re gonna get downvoted either by people who hates themselves and/or bots. Unless there is an unusual amount of phantom dislikes I don’t see why it needs to be pointed out.
He’s a grown man he can handle it ;)
Don't be discouraged by thumbs down, they are often clicks in error. I know I done it myself and there's no way of undoing it.
Maybe they thought it was a Game of Thrones related video lol
I love how you portray the day to day life. Not just the romanticism, taking that tree down and showing the labor involved. Awesome job, don't change a thing.
Great video as always Shawn. Hugs for Cali, the star of all the shows. Forest scenary is absolutely beautiful.
Willy from New York ,another fine video, i dream of a country life, be safe out there
Shawn, we followed you a year ago and we think it's wonderful everything you've achieved with your own hands.
Me and my girlfriend have a propiety in the country, we like to go some weekends and plan our future there. And somehow you inspire us with your philosophy and way of life.
Keep going, Shawn. You inspire us!
Greetings from Uruguay. (Sorry for my English)
Your English is better than mine. No worries!😀
You have done quite well with your English. Especially as it is your second language.
So glad to see a damper on the stovepipe get installed. Cali....what can I say? She's such a beautiful companion for you. I loved the way she sneaked into your chair..ha-ha! I think she has you wrapped around her little "paw"...and as always, a delightful video!
“But Dad, I like your chair best, It’s the softest spot in this room, and it smells like you”.
No one could be more adored by an animal than you are by Cally.
What a beautiful place and what a smart man. I sit here completely engrossed.
Thanks for sharing all of this with us.
We have an older folk who has been around the block a time or two who has and will always be full of wisdom. I consider you a great mentor and strategist who’s got his pictures in order. Thank you!
Mr. James, long may yer big jib draw! You have mastered the recipe for joyful living and you adeptly share it with us viewers. There is a vibe, an ethos, a philosophy that you imbue through your video sharing that tickles us all to remember what lies beyond the borders of concrete and steel. Thoreau would be proud Sir... Bless you for all you do and how you do it. Carpe Diem!
Thank you!

It's Friday! Cofee with Shawn and Cali. Good morning from Florida.
Good morning Mike Smith from kildare in Ireland ,just making the Tae or tea ...
I am from Florida my self....
Hi Kim
A very good morning to you Shawn also from South Florida!!
Love all your videos Shawn, very fun to watch and I learned a lot so far.
Not just from what you do on your vids but what you say as well.
Love the cabin and everything you added. A wilderness cooks dream too.
Cheers
I laughed out loud seeing Cali run through the woods squeaking the toy. That`s hilareous.

Cant get over how amazing the cabin looks inside and out. That would be the project of a lifetime for most but he did it in about 2 years!
Best part is when the dog brings a "gift". You really are blessed to be living the self reliant life. God bless.
Sean, I'm a 66 year old woman (yikes!), went camping once in my life and I can't get enough of your videos. Very relaxing and a great way to start the morning.
I can relate to you.Ive only been camping once and I still have nightmares.Watching this every morning helps me count my blessings🙏..😉
Every winter, you're better off because of all the work you do during the summer. you're homestead is spectacular!
When Cali ran through with the squeaky toy, our Border Collie immediately went to check out her squeeky ball! You can never be too careful!! Well done for hand-sawing the tree. Good work on the chimney too. An all around productive time. Regards Stephen.
Loved Cali's toy squeaking in approval as you work. She's a great supervisor giving you encouragement. Another nice video. Thx Shawn.
I’m so excited to see the bathhouse being built.

Love how are you take care of that Woodburn, because it is part of your lifeline heat for the winter Beautiful wood burner, I'm back to the video
Love how Cali looks for critters as you dig up roots. Really a clever dog and obviously so loyal. Thanks for sharing your north-woods life!
I'm following you from Syria. A year ago ... what you do feels me comfortable thank you
The war will end soon .. The situation is very good now I live in the coastal province .. Tartous city ... The situation is very safe today and life is normal
Can't mossad the assad
@HOMEFREE ESTATES Israel and mericas fault, that's it.
The same with Lybia
Keep safe.
محمود تليجة happy to hear the war will end soon. Good luck from the USA my friend
Cali is so adorable. Such a great gift when you have cali as your comrade. Adorable, brave and loyal.
Hi and good to be here again. Happy good day to you Shawn and Cali. Beautiful cabin you have made your dreams come true. Must be very cold out there now for winter is approaching. Hope Cali will be kept warm too.Thank you for your lovely video everytime Ijust pop in here. Take care. Hugs to Cali as well from Borneo Malaysia. Been watching your video since the last winter . Time flies quickly.
I can only imagine then pride and satisfaction you feel when you survey what you have achieved in the short time you have been building your wilderness haven
I went off grid in 2011. To the mountains of Mexico. 16X20 cabin no running water. No electricity. I do have a lil solar for my cell phone. I love it. I will never go back. I come out the mountain 4 times a year for supplies. I eat alot of game. I trade for beef with a family couple miles down the mountain. I had chickens. And couple of pigs. And one goat.

With your laptop and you cabin offgrid, you just made my day. I`m saying that would be my dream house since forever. Love it. Thank you for sharing those moments.
Pretty cool bit at end of you editing the vid. Looking forward to you starting construction on the bath house.
I rewatched a lot of your old videos in anticipation for this weeks video. They are just as good the second time around. It's still amazing how much you have accomplished in a year.
Very good, really enjoyed watching and very well done with felling that tree. Loved how Cali tried to steal your seat 😀. The cabin looks gorgeous and cosy.

Looks like a perfect day. Hot soup, crusty bread, loyal companion and fruitful work! Thank you for sharing!
Yep, just like home.
Yeah its really perfect when u tired then hot soup specially atmosphere like in hut . Boombastic
The cabin gets cozier and cozier all the time. Love that Cali, I hope her bed is as soft as that chair, she's no fool.
Hands down the best outdoors channel ever.
Every time one of your videos end, I let out a sigh...these precious jewels are to be treasured! :-) You have become such a fabulous videographer...each video is like a little movie. Thank you SO much!
The videos are getting better and better. Really enjoying them. Keep it up Shawn!
What a video!! The wind, the glow of the leaves, the sky....I love that!! Thank you for these beautiful videos!! 🏕
Your working away and in the background your dog brought home some supper lol classic
Your living every mans dream right now your a very lucky man
That fall scenery around your little cabin was breathtaking! Thanks for sharing. I’d rather watch your life than any other TV. So relaxing.
Woke up and clicked this video. It's 5am in Memphis Tn. Had to see Cali💖❤💜💙💚💛
I find myself looking forward to your videos each week. So peaceful out there in the woods. I love the home you've made and can't wait to see the bathhouse/sauna build. Cali is such a great dog, I wish I could give her a big hug!! I wish I could give you a big hug too!! Thanks for sharing your wilderness life with us.
Another great video Shawn! It's still warm here in Italy, I'll go to the beach later today! PS. We usually soak our beans for 12-16 hours before cooking here, it makes them softer and they cook faster.
Awww Just want to hug that Cali girl. I would still love to spend some time up there in your cabin, and this time of the year I would love.
I love your cabin, Shawn.

Here in the S.W. of the U.S. the first hint of fall makes us work harder to get all the things done before spring comes again.
The shot at 26:19 shows the range and the left hand side of the cabin , it looks warm and inviting and ,,,,,,well established, and homey. It looks so wonderful Shawn.
As usual a great video. Maybe during the winter months, you can do a compilation video of Cali during the summer and what she got up to, I find her to be very entertaining, she is a beautiful creature. To my fellow subscribers, If this is a popular request "thumbs up" this. Thanks, Shawn for the uploads.
Loved watching and listening to the wind blowing through the trees while you were cooking. So relaxing and inviting, could almost feel the wind from here lol.
Another totally pleasurable vlog 👍👍👍👍👍Thank you Shawn 👏👏👏👏👏🍃
This is perfect. I've always liked watching men work with their hands. The power of their muscles is a wonder. Like it that you don't use any gas powered tools. Chain saws are for sissies! I'm 80 years old and yes, I can say that!
Shawn, been watching you for a couple years now. Always enjoyed your outdoor adventures but this cabin/homestead build has been truly epic!
I strongly believe that this is the way to live. Love the relationship you have with your dog!
Cali wants that chair😆. You might as well give in.... she’s already decided it’s hers😏. Loved seeing the wind blowing and all the signs of the season changing to winter soon. What grand video of the final yellows of the season at their height.. but with that wind they will soon be gone. Chili’s the perfect start to Fall meals to come. I see the animal skin drying too so meat must soon be on the menu. Thanks for sharing another beautiful Fall with us Shawn. It’s a winner!
Time flies when I'm watching your videos. Feels like I'm there. Its fantastic!
Shawn your world-wide team learn as we enjoy your presentation. In every way you teach by silent demonstration, that consideration, preparation and careful execution of the project is the formula for success. Instant gratification in fact takes time. Your delicious pot-cooked meal is a classic example. Long before your meal, you had collected the ingredients and stored them in glass jars on display in your kitchen. In your mind you had visualized your meal and each step necessary. The 'old school' cast iron pot is the perfect slow cooking vessel, to which you added good quality harvest. The meal cooked slowly as you worked hard. Rest and well earned reward to nourish your body and soul.
By sad contrast, the MRE bag of dangerous preservative chemicals, further deceived by artificial flavours and colours satisfies none.
Thank you to our careful mentor. Greetings to all from Greg in Thailand
I love..love..love..your way of life.
All my life until now 65 years I live in
Big city.Watching your living fulfill my heart.
Greeting from Thailand.
When I was a kid the books like 'Robinson Crusoe', 'Mysterious Island' were among my favorite ones. I was enjoying the very process of building a new home from zero.
It was very inspirational. I tried most of the experiments based on Cyrus Smith ideas. Luckily to me and my parents, I would not able to find all the ingredients to make a nitroglycerin.
Your channel is bringing my childhood's memories. I like working with a wood and I would consider myself as a handyman.
That's why your working process looks so tasty to me. Almost like a meditation
I like your relaxed approach (or at least this is how it seems). I can see while you're enjoying the results you don't miss enjoying the very process. That's important! That's true nirvana :)
Good Morning Shawn. I see you're at it as usual. I still am not pleased that the "Bath House and Sauna" are taking precedence over my humble abode up there,,,lol. Thank you for another fine video and Thank You to all the subscribers with the comments as I enjoy reading them as well. It reassures me that there are still some normal people left in this world or at least what I consider normal by the way I was raised. I'm still in the preparation stages for winter coming upon us here as well and being a busy body. I do not envy you btw seeing as you have to film and edit too! I have tons on my plate and that would definitely slow me down. Till our next coffee and Cali show ~
Thanks for these videos Shawn. Much appreciated 👍
This is fantastic. I hope you keep doing this for a long time, it's so fun and interesting to watch. Good on ya m8
Where I live there is already a chance of snow on Saturday. We don’t even have our corn harvested yet.
Glad you got that tree down! The inside of the cabin looks so clean and cozy. Its hard to believe you were still working on it last year. It's beautiful! And the squeaky toy is wonderful, I just love Cali. What a companion!!💖
Leaves are changed..Awesome pictures of the lake...I can honestly say I miss the change of season..I grew up in N.J. I have been living in Tampa Florida for some time now...Of course there is no fall down hear the highs during the day are still 95 f. I miss them autumn days and nights.......T.Gunz..........
But by February, I'm ready to join you down there :)
Thank you for sharing your day with us. Kelly sure is enjoying her new chew toy :) Stay warm and may God continue to bless you and yours.
That damper will make a huge difference this winter. Glad tree came down safely
Great video 👍
,,hello,,Ray,,
@@oldschoolwithamoderntwist6074 morning James
Thanks Shawn a perfect video. Keep the sounds of the forest coming and no music. Perfect. 🐕
@19:01 I was a little mesmerized by watching you saw that log. I know that's some hard work. Then I heard a squeaking noise and at first, I thought, "Is his saw making that sound?"
Had the same thought.
Love these videos...……...I find them to be very relaxing, calming. You're a very hard working, industrious guy Shawn. Today's younger folks should all be required to watch and write a report in school about this.
We all know she got back in that chair after the Camera stopped rolling lol
Shes such a good girl
:-))))))
Good Vibrations if not then, then the second his head hits the pillow on the mezzanine level 🛏🐶
👍
Watching Cali staring at your chair was so cute! Shawn, it is so beautiful there.So many gorgeous trees. Thanks for the great video : )
I love Cali, so cute🐶
Wonderful...can't wait to see your Bathhouse! I love to watch you cook too! Thanks much Shawn!
Thanks Shawn for a nice and relaxing video. Winter is coming that´s for sure although we have had a warm autumn
here in Finland. Today it´s sunny and about 10C, not bad for mid October :)
Every time I am amazed at the fact that the seasons at your cabin are so much more extreme than those in the Netherlands.
Despite the fact that we live on the 52nd degree of latitude.
Thanks for sharing your life and thoughts at your cabin.
Everything looks awesome...
Eff yeah, not only that you are an ace in woodworking, but also cooking! Love how you do you it like a professional chef.
