    Sean, I lost my Callie in March. Watching your channel has been a bright spot in my journey. My Callie was a beagle with a nose that could find anything. Watching your Callie retrieve birds was such an awesome thing. We don’t deserve dogs. They are amazing

    Remember last year when Shawn stated that by winter 2023, he would 1) Have the cabin downstairs completed. Check. 2) Electrical and solar system installed. Check. 3) Phase 3 of the upstairs cabin completed. Check. 4) Outdoor kitchen completed. Check. 5) Water filtration and plumbing completed. Check. 6) Quality time spent with family. Check. 7) Fishing, hunting, hiking. Check. 6) Producing quality TH-cam content. Check. Respect and admiration for the men who put actions to words.

    Glad to see the rumour mill is so very wrong. In the last 5-6 days we were all lead to believe by other TH-camrs, that you had ceased your TH-cam channel and quitting off grid life altogether. Not sure why people would do this type of thing. Great to see your having a break with your family. You work so incredibly hard, building this type of life for yourself and family. Watching your videos brings me such happy memories and joy, reflecting back on that I’d been taught some building skills and survival skills from my father, as I’d grown up on a farm. We’d rebuilt a shack, into a brilliant home and farmed the land. I’d become the son my father didn’t have, ( a real tomboy, I was ) and I loved living this way. Watching you and your daughter Emily build your homes made my heart sing, as I’d done something similar with my father. Your footage of the landscape and wildlife is stunning to see. Looking forward to seeing many more videos of your off grid life. Sending you & your family many blessings from Australia, take care
