I love seeing all the vegetables. Years ago my husband and ai used to grow a huge garden to feed our nine kids and it was very productive. He has passed now and I am alone and I miss those days. It was like a piece of Heaven on Earth. We loved all the great foods and the nutrition they gave our family. Keep up the awesome work and good luck.
I hope you are still garden at least enough for you. There is nothing better for us than to be outside n growing fresh whole foods. I make it my priority every season. I get to enjoy it all yr as I can as much as possible.
😪😪😪 I'm so sorry for your lose ..I loose Mom I another Country I was seeing an year before I travel from New York to My Country Uruguay and I see her for the Last time... we used to love going to the Country every vacation with my sisters and Dada and Mom I'm 69 and I remember each moment like is happen yesterday... GOD bless you always Miss Deborah for some reason you touch my fibers...and my heart,,,lose somebody is so painful... GOD bless you always !!! Thanks to the LORD my life change for better....!!! Shawn is a hero ,,,and Caly is so tender ....
The house is off the grid but doesn't lack anything. Your garden is full of vegetables and fruits. I like the way you live and work, everything is so good
And when I look back to 2 years ago watching you struggle in the cold and snow/ice to get those log walls put up all by yourself with a winch---I think, now THIS is what makes all those snowy cold. work days so worth it. You deserve to really be proud and happy in that amazing home. Shawn. May the Lord give you many happy years there with those you love--and sons-in-laws and grandsons to live there/ or near there and care for you as you age.
I don’t know how much you have earned as Utuber, but looking at your marvelous cabin with all your time, energies, brain and muscles .. you rightly deserve it! Say it with all of my admiration! 🤙♥️🙏
I love your channel. God speed! Especially when you cook! Love puppy too. I was here when Joe Robinet got 1 million subscribers. That was a fun vid! Great when mommy & dtrs come visit too. I remember when you just left corporate! Good decision 👏 👌 many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ❤❤
Wow, you've come a long way Shawn, the cabin looks great. It's amazing to see this fully furnished and completed cabin when it was just a bunch of logs earlier in the year. I'm mystified how you're able to complete so much in such a short amount of time, simply amazing Shawn, it's just beautiful.
Shawn, there is no one more deserving of relaxing in their slippers & “cozy clothes” in front of a nice fire than you! You must occasionally pinch yourself to believe you’ve reached this point ...... the Self Reliance life is in full gale & more than well earned!!
Aaahhh! I've been waiting to slowly see the fruits of all of your labor as we go from room to room to see the final look at it's furnishings and the dried vegetables in their storage bin. To say what an accomplishment undermines your feat! Job well done, Shawn, job well done. I'm sure we all are impressed with you as you should be with yourself.
Fascinating to witness all the planning that went into a root celler full of high quality food. I learned a lot, even though I have been a student of and root-cellaring since the day I stepped into my great aunt's on the Kansas prairie. It was an Aladdin's cave of colors and smells, in baskets, on shelves, in crocks, the long strings of onions and peppers. Of course she also grew her own lemons, the size of big oranges, in her own little greenhouse, this back in 1965! You are keeping a true art form alive, Mr. James. Aunt Lillian would have loved you.
Shawn you blow me away. You created 2 cabins, gardens, fish, hunter, solarized your home. Shawn I have been watching you since the begin and you always surprise me, constantly working and you love all of it. I honor you Shawn. ❤️ Cindy 👋
“Talking to the camera?” 😆 Cali is a quite the sweet and charismatic girl. Shawn, the fruits of your labors are manifesting well as the cabin has become quite the masterpiece. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
We enjoy your channel immensely. We have a cottage constructed in the early 1900’s which was part of a resort at the time. Located in the Southern Adirondacks. We love your cooking segments but often ask “I wonder what meat he’s using?” We’re both approaching 70 years young and are thankful for your channel….
Ring your onions when the bulb starts to show. I did this for the first time and my onions were the size of baseballs & some softball size. Speaking of baseball ⚾️ l'm a diehard Diamondbacks fan, BUT if we had to lose, I'm just glad it was the Texas Rangers!!!They deserved it + they have never won a championship. God bless them! I remember your other pup, & when you brought Calie home as a puppy. Awesome times. I guess you can say I've been with you for a very long time. I ✝️ love your channel ❤️ 💕 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister. Many prayers 🙏🏻 for you 🙏🏻 ❤️
so missed your longer videos for a breif moment all the problems in the world have gone and we are with you at the cabin so beautiful shawn! love cali too!
I've been waiting for this video for a long time. It's rewarding even for us viewers to watch you finally just enjoying and living in your cabin. And to have camera shots that show the whole layout. It's a lifestyle that so many of us would love to have but unfortunately don't have spouses that share the same vision. Congratulations sir.
How is the bathroom job coming along? Do you think you will get that complete before winter sets in? Thank you so much for allowing us to follow you in your journey. For those of us for whom it is too late to do this, it is calming and tranquilizing just to watch. The music is so peaceful and beautiful as well....God bless and keep you safe, Shawn.
Just amazing watching you enjoy your log cabin home. The harvest looks outstanding, and it’s hard to decide which meal looks more delicious….dinner or breakfast! You have come so far! Thanks for bringing us along!
A Beautiful Cabin Home, Beautiful, Peaceful Surroundings, all in all a Beautiful Life. Full of all the things you love. Lots and Lots of Hard Work, but so very Rewarding. Blessings
When I see sort of summation video I realize all the trades and skills you developed layered into your creation. Its like an artist developing his skills. The cinematography is a beautiful artistic extension of these showing us a love of nature especially with the music adding animals and a few people brings you to a highly skilled movie producer. It's wonderful how you are able to express all your skills for us. Just watching is the best medicine for all of us Dane
Lovley home you constructed for your family Shawn to live a self sustainible healthy life with freash veggies , meat, and everything else need to live in the wilderness. Cali is living the best life any dog could want. You have done a wonderful job, All that hard work is paying off. loved the video as always.
I love watching his videos, he is truly amazing not only can he build a house, he's a cook, he's got a farmer's hands, excellent Archer a hunter he is amazing and I truly enjoy these videos ❣️❣️
Wow, I don't think there is anything I don't love about your home. It's just so beautifully rugged and yet cohesively thought out to even the dishes and light fixtures that match perfectly to the home. Love the basement too which is something I rarely say on any videos I watch. Perfect! Hugs for Cali
I was just thinking, I wish I could see the layout better and then you did a whole episode and showed us all of it. So beautiful. I think it’s a dream. Thank you for spending time inside. I hope when you make your master bedroom next year it is huge with a bay window. What ever you do… cant wait to see. Thanks
You are living the life I could only dream of. It must be so peaceful to have a cup of coffee and watch and hear the crackle of the wood burning stove. My dream has always been to have a farm to table restaurant for other to experience what I experienced as a child spending summers in Virginia. Our foods are so loaded with bad things. Your fur baby is so spoiled and beautiful. Enjoy every minute of the labor you put in. Living through your eyes thank you. Keep doing what your doing and I will continue to watch❤❤
Your cabin is outstanding and earlier this year you were in the cold, rain , snow and pulling heavy logs up with a pulley and to see how it is all furnished and a home is beautiful to see and you built it alone. Now seeing you enjoy what you have built is so satisfying to watch. You are a very hard working amazing man Shawn. Enjoy your day.
Your cold cellar reminds me the one my grandparents had in their house: the same shelves for pumpkins, onions, jars of jam, potatoes and carrots in sand.. Simple life, no plastic, close to nature. I've learned a lot from them
Thank you Shawn for showing us how to be persistent in the right way. Watching you here in your channel is always been a fire starter for me to do things by myself alone like doing necessary repairs in my house. God bless you Shawn…
Such a great job on the cabin and everything else you’ve put your hands to.👏 A little advice to you if I may? Separate the potatoes so they don’t touch each other. If they start to rot it will quickly spread to all that it touches. Also lay straw doesn’t mater what kind of straw down first then potatoes on top. This way it helps prevent moisture that could cause rot and makes it easier to clean up a mess if they start to rot. I wouldn’t put them up on the shelves if it was me instead I’d lay them on the floor on top of hay or straw of some kind. It will save you time and energy cleaning up a rotten smelly mess if on the floor instead of the shelves. Enjoy all the hard work of your labor for many years to come.
A tip. We had a cellar. Dad had a 3 8nches of sand in it. In it we buried our Potawatomi, kohlrabi, carrots, cabbage we made into Sauerkraut kept it in old Whiskey Barrels. Then covered the root veggies with more sand. It kept good all winter. The next year we'll have our veggi garden.
I am blown away at how beautiful this home that YOU built by yourself looks........ you make it look so easy ...good God man...I would have thrown in the towel making the basement/root cellar.......absolutely beautiful.........
I can't praise you enough you've creative something magical that only people' dream of ,just have a rest now refill your own batteries.because it will catch up with eventually then you done.enjoy it just potter now.well done & wish you lots of happiness now.what a wonderful man.
This lifestyle is something on my bucket list. I am striving to develop my own path in this manner. Time to manifest. Would love to sit at that table and share a coffee, warming by the fire, how wonderful for you.
It terrifies me when you swing your axe with Cali coming up behind you. All your food looked delicious and your cabin at night with the view of the stars….oh my - what you’ve created Shawn is a real bit o heaven on earth 👼
I just love your log cabin! It looks like a home instead of a house! Hard work and love was put in your property and in your home! Thank you again for sharing! God bless you always and to your family!
As always, it’s so inspiring to see how you have carefully built everything there, right down to the last detail. All is impeccable and well thought out.
Hi James sorry it been a long time texting you happy to see you back at work on your land and house , the kitchen looks very beautiful I would love to cook out there 😂❤ take care and talk soon.
This looks so peaceful and beautiful. Even work looks normal, not stressed or under pressure (even if there might be 'deadlines' with nature as well). Thank you for sharing. I miss such a life.
Ive been watching your content for a couple years now and you constantly amazing me. Want an incredible home you have built for yourself. And not just that, but everything that you do to live off the grid. Absolutely incredible.
Great harvesting! Mr. James, your work is incredible! I’ve been watching your videos since 2018 I think, and you have built um império with your hands!
WOW!!!! love all your Amazing videos! You can build anything from scratch!! You are very talented for sure! Thank you for sharing with us all JUST SO MUCH BEAUTY IN THE WOODS!! Best of Luck to you and your wife. ENJOY every new day . Hope you do one for Christmas again I enjoyed the other video so much!!!! You have both made just an incredible home stead together BRAVO!!!!💯🌲🪵🏚🌠🥇
Dear Shawn, nice to watch another one of your videos, after a break.... I see the cabin is beautiful, a dream!! Congratulations on your achievements!! Hugs from Brazil, see you next time!! 😊👏👏👏👏🦮🏡
I always enjoy watching someone who is good at what they do. and you are a craftsman, without a doubt. I've spent hours watching your videos, ever since you built your first cabin, and almost froze to death that winter. keep up the great work, and the great videos!!!
Hi :-)! I was told that if you leave the dirt on the potatoes and other root vegetables that they last longer... I'm glad you have expanded from your last house plan...this house can hold many family members and will last generations...your videos can be a class to teach this type of architecture in the future...
Beautiful cabin combining art, form and function. Glad to see the final winter preparations getting done. Looking forward to those cozy videos by the fire. It must feel fantastic that you will get to enjoy the cabin this winter and years to come. 🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲
I watched you build this beautiful cabin from scratch. Chopping down the trees and laying every single log. That was tremendous. To see you now.. how you are enjoying living in your beautiful home it's outstanding. You should be very proud of yourself....I'm certainly very proud of you. I watched you build every inch inside and out. The cabin and the outside kitchen has turn out beautiful. Well done.😊 Keep doing more building projects. I just love them. I'm looking forward to you building the Sauna and shower house.😊😊 God Bless you and your family.❤
Way back @ 18:00 I thought to myself " It's October, somebody is going to have to make some firewood pretty soon ." Lo and behold, 25 minutes later..... Great video, Shawn, one of the ten best , with a little of everything. Never a shortage of things to do at the cabin !
I just loved this video!! I loved your filming perspective of looking from the outside in and how that offers the audience a feeling of comfort & wonder. I also love when you film inside your cabin cooking meals, reading etc. It offers us, your viewers, a sense of calm & peaceful thoughts. And of course Cali is just such a joy to see every week. I have a Golden Retriever and she watches your videos every week to get to see Cali. Thanks Shawn for sharing this experience with us!!
That was such a wonderfully enjoyable video to watch Shawn. Its amazing how nuch youve gotten done before the snow falls this fall. I absolutely love your cozy cabin in the woods. Gratification you must have for yourself knowing youve done it all by yourself. Just amzaing. You truly are a man of the wilderness and have conqured everything life has thrown at you. I love the ambience of the view through your window from the outside in with just enough light to give it that cozy cabin look and feel. What a wonderful dream your living,the one you've always wanted to build and live. To have to start all over again after the issues with those miserable people at the old cabin you sold and to be where you are today with the new cabin is truly a blessing. Still more to build but your settled in really nicely now and can just relax and build at your leisure. Congratulations on the wonderful accomplishment, Shawn.
Sean this is the nicest cabin you’ve built. Such a beautiful cabin well worth the enormous time and labor spent building it. Thanks for including us again in the process.
I grew up in a time (born in 1946) when so many families were living in homes built by the man of the house. Granted it was not a wildernesses setting, but none the less after a full days work would work on the construction of their house. My dad made all the cement block, raised the walls, made the trusses for the roof & even the cabinets throughout. That house & many others are standing still today over 70+ years later. I live in the Rocky Mountains. There were no roads for materials used. All were hauled to to the site on their backs after a flat area was carved out by hand making room for house & later a small garden. Behind the house we're carved tunnels which served as storage for food. In all of this , let's not forget the women who worked along side their men. Women who wore the same callouses their husbands did. It was always great going home from school cuz the smell of freshly baked tortillas filled the air of our neighborhood. Nothing better than a fresh hot tortilla with butter. Yes, I admire Shawn, but not with that idolized worship so often displayed. Because my dad was so physical all his life. He could do 10 pushups & 10 chin ups at 80.
Jestem pod wrazeniem pieknego domu i calego zaplecza ,obfitych plonow zabezpieczonych na okres zimy.Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Polski życząc zdrowia i realizacji swoich marzeń bo one zapewne nie maja konca❤❤❤❤❤
Your knowledge and work ethic are amazing . to watch you build the place log by log, Then put your hand to building beds and growing crops, then you turn to electrics with solar panels the list is endless not to mention managing the forest and harvesting all the wood you need. I could only dream of a small part of that. What makes me smile the most though is your relationship with Cally (sp) love to watch it she is a special dog :)
There is nothing like experiencing the reward of your efforts and work in peace. You; you deserve this beauty my friend. Enjoy it... Çaba ve çalışmalarının karşılığını huzurla yaşamak gibisi yok . Sen; bu güzelliği hakettin dostum. Tadını çıkar...
Hope you get many happy year in the cabin and that your wife will love to stay there too, it must be very relaxing, only the wildlife to listen to and wind in the trees. All the work you have put in there, that is amazing. Thumbs up

I cannot imagine for one minute what it must feel like to be living in a home that you built all by yourself. You are an amazing man.
Amazing men are all around you if you choose to see them.
It feels great.
@@ML-lg4ky really? Jealous are you?
@@xull1x123 show us the off the grid house you built single handily…..I’ll be waiting. I see no such dwelling on your page.

My Mom and Dad did the same including the 9 kids. They are gone now, and I never married but I still have a garden.
@@suemckee1598 That is awesome you got that great experience a beautiful part of life and parents love
What is the purpose of putting your carrots in sand?
I hope you are still garden at least enough for you. There is nothing better for us than to be outside n growing fresh whole foods. I make it my priority every season. I get to enjoy it all yr as I can as much as possible.

You have a gift, Shawn. Watching you cut down trees , build with you hands, then live in your construction, has been a treat.
Thanks Shawn for sharing your videos with us. I can appreciate your hard work.
This man knows how to survive out in the woods. I wish I had all the skills to live like this very hard work but rewarding.
The Man with the hands! Absolutely Beautiful. Love the fact that you are sharing with us. I give Much Respect for the building from the ground up.❤❤❤
Shawn I remember when you first built your first cabin now look at this one so beautiful
That first cabin seems now to have been skill building, design and strength...this one is the real deal, a treasure.
Great harvesting! Mr. James, your work is incredible! I’ve been watching your videos since 2018 I think, and you have built um império with your hands!
Yeah......thats not a log cabin but a luxury off grid multi room mansion.
It looks absolutely amazing, you've done a terrific job.
Never a dull moment around your place in the woods.
I didnt realize how much thought and work goes into storing vegetables for the winter!!🥔🍠

I always enjoy watching someone who is good at what they do. and you are a craftsman, without a doubt. I've spent hours watching your videos, ever since you built your first cabin, and almost froze to death that winter. keep up the great work, and the great videos!!!
A natureza é bela e nos fazem muito bem! Com sua beleza, tons coloridos, cantos dos pássaros, barulho do rio, nos traz harmonia e encanto.🍂🍁🐕🐾🇧🇷
Hi :-)!
I was told that if you leave the dirt on the potatoes and other root vegetables that they last longer... I'm glad you have expanded from your last house plan...this house can hold many family members and will last generations...your videos can be a class to teach this type of architecture in the future...
Beautiful cabin combining art, form and function. Glad to see the final winter preparations getting done. Looking forward to those cozy videos by the fire. It must feel fantastic that you will get to enjoy the cabin this winter and years to come. 🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲
Love what you've done to the cabin, it looks fantastic.
I watched you build this beautiful cabin from scratch. Chopping down the trees and laying every single log. That was tremendous. To see you now.. how you are enjoying living in your beautiful home it's outstanding.
You should be very proud of yourself....I'm certainly very proud of you. I watched you build every inch inside and out. The cabin and the outside kitchen has turn out beautiful. Well done.😊 Keep doing more building projects. I just love them. I'm looking forward to you building the Sauna and shower house.😊😊 God Bless you and your family.❤
Way back @ 18:00 I thought to myself " It's October, somebody is going to have to make some firewood pretty soon ." Lo and behold, 25 minutes later..... Great video, Shawn, one of the ten best , with a little of everything. Never a shortage of things to do at the cabin !
Es beruhigt mich Ihnen zuzuschauen. Auch meine schwere Atemnot wird besser.Danke!❤
I just loved this video!! I loved your filming perspective of looking from the outside in and how that offers the audience a feeling of comfort & wonder. I also love when you film inside your cabin cooking meals, reading etc. It offers us, your viewers, a sense of calm & peaceful thoughts. And of course Cali is just such a joy to see every week. I have a Golden Retriever and she watches your videos every week to get to see Cali. Thanks Shawn for sharing this experience with us!!
All the years watching your videos this one is on my favorite list really enjoyed it thank you Shawn!
This cabin is so special. I know they are ALL special. Then again this cabin is special❤
That was such a wonderfully enjoyable video to watch Shawn. Its amazing how nuch youve gotten done before the snow falls this fall.
I absolutely love your cozy cabin in the woods. Gratification you must have for yourself knowing youve done it all by yourself. Just amzaing. You truly are a man of the wilderness and have conqured everything life has thrown at you.
I love the ambience of the view through your window from the outside in with just enough light to give it that cozy cabin look and feel.
What a wonderful dream your living,the one you've always wanted to build and live.
To have to start all over again after the issues with those miserable people at the old cabin you sold and to be where you are today with the new cabin is truly a blessing.
Still more to build but your settled in really nicely now and can just relax and build at your leisure.
Congratulations on the wonderful accomplishment, Shawn.
Sean this is the nicest cabin you’ve built. Such a beautiful cabin well worth the enormous time and labor spent building it. Thanks for including us again in the process.
I grew up in a time (born in 1946) when so many families were living in homes built by the man of the house. Granted it was not a wildernesses setting, but none the less after a full days work would work on the construction of their house. My dad made all the cement block, raised the walls, made the trusses for the roof & even the cabinets throughout. That house & many others are standing still today over 70+ years later. I live in the Rocky Mountains. There were no roads for materials used. All were hauled to to the site on their backs after a flat area was carved out by hand making room for house & later a small garden. Behind the house we're carved tunnels which served as storage for food.
In all of this , let's not forget the women who worked along side their men. Women who wore the same callouses their husbands did. It was always great going home from school cuz the smell of freshly baked tortillas filled the air of our neighborhood. Nothing better than a fresh hot tortilla with butter.
Yes, I admire Shawn, but not with that idolized worship so often displayed.
Because my dad was so physical all his life. He could do 10 pushups & 10 chin ups at 80.
Jestem pod wrazeniem pieknego domu i calego zaplecza ,obfitych plonow zabezpieczonych na okres zimy.Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Polski życząc zdrowia i realizacji swoich marzeń bo one zapewne nie maja konca❤❤❤❤❤
Dreams should never have an ending. That's what keeps me going because I know one day Jesus is coming back and I will see my loved ones again ❤🎉
My heart stopped when you aimed at that cow moose-then you didn’t shoot. Awesome!
Fire wood warms you 3 times,cut,split,stack.😊
4 times mate. Burn.
Nice to see some constants still remain in our crazy world of course I'm referring to Cali still being the STAR of your show!
Your an amazing person, your family is so blessed to have you 😊
This is an amazing video by an amazing man. Godspeed. Thank you for sharing this journey with us and all the tips and tricks.
Living the life……..we also are enjoying our upnorth home in Michigan. I’ll keep watching as long as you keep making videos.
Cali is the OPPOSITE of spoiled! She is PERFECTION!
Your knowledge and work ethic are amazing . to watch you build the place log by log, Then put your hand to building beds and growing crops,
then you turn to electrics with solar panels the list is endless not to mention managing the forest and harvesting all the wood you need. I could only dream of a small part of that. What makes me smile the most though is your relationship with Cally (sp) love to watch it she is a special dog :)
There is nothing like experiencing the reward of your efforts and work in peace. You; you deserve this beauty my friend. Enjoy it...
Çaba ve çalışmalarının karşılığını huzurla yaşamak gibisi yok . Sen; bu güzelliği hakettin dostum. Tadını çıkar...
Hope you get many happy year in the cabin and that your wife will love to stay there too, it must be very relaxing, only the wildlife to listen to and wind in the trees. All the work you have put in there, that is amazing. Thumbs up
