Shawn, seeing your beautiful wood stove brings back memories of my grandmother who refused to give up hers in favor of a gas stove my dad & his brother & sisters wanted to buy for her. The bread she baked in it was the best I've ever tasted. RIP gram.
Yes Steve, brings back a lot of memories. Grandma lived next door and helped us kids after mom died. 1959. The cookies and bread that came out of that old wood stove was incredible. She split her own kindling as well. God bless our Grandmothers
I fondly remember the smell from the wood stove made best pies I have ever had. everything tasted better cooked on it Uncle ED and Effy both lived into there hundreds. they had a summer kitchen in a porch attached to the house.
It reminds me of 30 years of lovely summer holidays in a high mountain cabin, with a woodstove a bit like that for heating and cooking, which it was my favorite job to tend.
Your sense of accomplishment has got to be huge!! I could see myself being quite happy in that outdoor kitchen, hot cook stove, then you get a cooler summer breeze..perfect! Love the rock on the outer perimeter too.
@@MySelfReliance Hope all is well , but just in case you're still having parasites or just for future reference : Old-fashioned real turpentine is very good at getting rid of parasites and many other ailments ... pretty much a cure-all and was always used by the mountain people , especially in the Appalachians .

Shawn, As a loyal viewer the past 5 years, I used to “know” that every Friday morning I could count on your latest TH-cam video both to end the week and kick off the weekend. Yes, I understand that “life happens” and interrupts things from time to time, and you’re due vacation time, heaven knows. But Fridays just aren’t the same. 😕 Don’t worry, I’m still a huge fan. 🙂
Watching you cook on that old woodstove reminded me of my grandparents. Everything my grandma cooked on that woodstove was so good. You are an amazing hardworking man. My grandma would have loved you.
Shawn, on splitting those river rock, try building a fire and putting the rock in the fire. The moisture in the rock will usually split them right in the center, also when attaching the stone to the Durock (that’s the good stuff, anyone wanting to build a good shower enclosure, that’s the stuff to use) start at the top, use a notched trowel and work your way down and you won’t get grout or mortar all over your work. Nice job, it should look great when your done. Are you going to build another wood burning oven (like your pizza or bread oven from your first place, that seemed like such a nice addition when you built it and it seemed like you used it quite a bit.
So awesome seeing all of the improvements from the last cabin this new cabin really must feel like home like it should be for you and your wife and family
Shawn doesn't say much about what his wife thinks of his back woods cabin. From watching all of his videos she strikes me as a city girl that could only live a week at the most off grid. That could cause problems in the future for Shawn. Shawn seems completely able to live with his dog and not need any other humans in his life.
I was actually worried about him because he seemed alone and god forbid he hurts himself it could be bad.. so I was hoping he had someone there with him
The kitchen looks so cosy I’d probably live out there most days if I had one! I know those stoves can throw a lot of heat too. You could stretch it to a 3 season room I bet!
Shawn, you’ve become an inspiration to millions around the world in a variety of different ways and yet, you always stay humble. The outdoor kitchen is awesome with that beautiful stove and the views. There are few YT channels that can compare with the caliber & content of yours. I so appreciate that over the years you have never interjected politics, attacks on your viewers or other YT creators & have always kept your channel “clean” ..... you, your channels & the joy of all you continue to share in your journey are a wonderful weekly respite. Continue to be well & stay safe.
Hello Shawn and Cali from Australia! This cabin is turning into quite a palace, going along beautifully! Shawn you certainly don't do a job halfheartedly by any measure! You are a very clever man for doing this, you hopefully get a lot of enjoyment from your life! The rain will do your veg garden good! Take care, give Cali a hug for me! 👋
I too can attest to my great grandmother and her simply delicious food cooked with her wood stove! Love you gramma!...Shawn what you do and how you choose to do it is, and should be an inspiration for all!, that with the willingness and hard work, we all can have what we want in life!!! 🇨🇦🇺🇲💯✌
Omg! You're going to bust every one of those rocks in half??!?! You're going to have much bigger muscles after that task. It's going to look awesome. Love your stove!
My dad loved to cook on a wood stove. He had one when we were growing up, he would get up and make a fire in it when we had to go to school. We would then get dressed behind it on cold mornings. He kept one in the shed out back and he would cook breakfast on Saturday mornings and call my sister and I to bring our families to eat. Such special memories.
Man the sound of the rain and that setting are so soul soothing. A cup of coffee and kicked back soaking in that feeling they bring on has to be fantastic!
Doesn't get much better than this eh Shawn? Enjoying a dee-licious meal on a solid table you built and in the lovely outdoor kitchen = Joy! Thanks 4 sharing your 'wealth' with us! Health and God bless!
The outside kitchen is coming along beautifully now.I love the new oven it’s very smart.Cali gets the best of both worlds in there,it’s outdoors,but also gives her shelter from the weather too.Her coat looks beautiful too ..Love n Light 🥰
Hello Shawn and Cali, what a lovely day you are having there and that outside wood stove you have there is beautiful, I live in the UK and Shawn I positively drool over all the stuff you guys get in America/Canada I watch your channel from the very beginning and just wish I could live like you are. Your achievement on this cabin build and the others Shawn has been beyond words. Thank you for taking us on your journey and adventures, through the ups and downs and this is what truly makes your channel fantastic to watch. Have a lovely day .
I like the outdoor picnic table. I know a person who was raised with that stove which was their heating source for the house as well as cooking for the family.
If I recall the other outdoor kitchen was great, but didn't have the feel of a gathering place or a hangout spot. But this surely does. I'd even be tempted to sleep out there of a warm night, lol. The stone walls are going to look really nice. Hang loose, ya big moose, little moose, and Lady Moosen. 🤟
This outdoor kitchen is fantastic, Shawn you’ve done a great job. Whilst everyone is talking up that amazing cooker I’m blown away by your natural cathedral windows with a view of your forest either side of the stove. Just stunning❤
Now there was something I'd never seen before. Splitting pond stones for a rock veneer. Let's have a shot of where the stones are. This will be interesting!
My labrabull (lab/pitbull mix) also loves to "attack" a large body of water. He'll swim all day. But he can't stand to get his feet wet walking on wet grass 😂🐾
@@SusieLovesJesus Mine would attack any water coming out of a water hose or water spraying out of... whatever. She loved to play in water whether it was a lake/pond or a little kiddie pool. But you try to take her out in the rain and she acted like it was the worst thing in the world. That and getting a bath.
@@LeroyJGibbs it sounds like maybe she didn't like whatever you're using to clean her with in the bath ... maybe the scent or the ingredients were too much for her .
@@gardensofthegods No, it had nothing to do with the smell of whatever shampoo I used. I tried several different kinds. She just hated getting a bath, but she loved how she felt afterwards.
Were in Our mid 60s and We r Advid campers and fisher people.Also in my Youth a hunter ,so seeing your Bow and other hunting tools is truly awesome. It would b a awesome thing if many would try sustainable living practices.
To Mr. Shawn James; First, let me thank you for your service demonstrating how to be a better human being in this world today. I have watched all your TH-cam videos and Emily’s as well and found myself wishing that I was your son and 40 years younger. I’m 73 this year. Had I learned of you back then I would have made my way to you and begged to be your apprentice. I know that you say you’re not a carpenter, nor any kind of an outdoors woodsman but I think that I could do what you have done and improve my life and community as well. I have studied architecture, have designed/built several small inner-city projects but there is nothing that compares to living by your own two hands, improving the land and gathering your own food. Being responsible for yourself and your family is empowering. I too was enthralled by watching Dick Proenneke when he came on PBS. It fit right in with my scouting and wilderness training. Looking back on my years of living vicariously through PBS shows like Nature and NOVA, books and articles from Henry David Thoreau, John Muir and John James Audubon to name a few, I have longed to practice that lifestyle. I love to follow my ancestors from the Native peoples of the Americas using good stewardship of the land, sea and air. So be encouraged! Keep up your spirit, lifestyle and family. You have helped and are helping so many by showing us, in your small example, what can be done if we just do it!
Everytime you get something done enough to start using it, it feels so good doesn't it? We've been working hard on our off grid cabin that will be home before fall is over. It's nothing as beautiful as yours but we love it. ❤️
@@lucianatrambaglio4881oh goodness well then she doesn’t have to come then! I grew up w/outdoor bathroom til I was maybe 12 & it was awful & scary at night so I Understand. Especially with bears, wolves and maybe moose not to mention the other creatures.
@@FngrsXd-n25 I mean she wishes a proper bathroom with shower and sauna. Not just a wc. I think Shawn planned to build a bathroom inside the cabin next, so the 'problem" will be solved. Greetings from Italy to you.
We had an Elmira wood stove at camp and it heated the A frame as well as cooking meals. Sadly our family camp of 53 yrs has been sold but a new family will make great new memories there. 😊
When I was a kid my parents had these type of roofing, how much I used to love listening to the rains hitting the roof uffff miss it … amazing kitchen.. rugged yet spacious.. your typical way of cooking ❤
Bonsoir JAMES , voilas un petit bonjour de la NORMANDIE en FRANCE , et oui je vous suis depuis presque 7 ans ,alors continuer comme ça surtout ne changer rien.
new tool feathers and wedges and maybe a stone hammer sledge with a cutting side? lots of stone veneer not just for cabin , raised grow beds crawl spaces under porches etc...Will you be building a lime stone oven to slake your own stuff while generating bio ash for the grow beds? lotta brush to cleanup on a farm stead and fire is your friend?
Shawn--The home we moved into in Kelowna had a kitchen stove that was part wood-burning and part electric. That was in 1949 when I was 13 and the chore I enjoyed was chopping up the kindling and wood for the stove. It looked like yours but probably wider. The stove-top was solid steel with the holes that were usually covered. The there were two electric round plates. The upper was likely a warming oven heated by electricity.--Sigh,
Shawn i always get a big chuckle out of your video magic. You open the oven door put the pan with meat in it and close the door and immediately open the door and get the same pan with the hamburg cooked with cheese melted and close the door. That antique stove is one fast cooking machine 😂😅 well worth whatever you paid for it.Clever fella you are.😅
Back when I was a kid living in Doylestown,PA. Old Mr. Fisher had a stove like this. Home smelled like sweet tobacco. Love your outside kitchen. Last week’s video was probably scared me the most out of your hole build.
Oh the memories and smells your stove evokes! Beautiful job their Shawn. Your eye for detail compliments your vision perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us.
Mr. James. Have you considered applying a waterproof membrane over your metal roof. They come in different colors and can help mute some of the rain noise. You can paint it on or roll it on like you did your other membrane or roofing paper. Did not know if you knew if it.
That outside kitchen is lookin' fierce!!!!!! That wood stove is the centerpeice. What a beauty, The stone wall will be amazing. Gonna be a lot of work bustin' all those rocks but I love your creativity.
nice idea of the rock tub wall ... a cold chisel will help split them rocks too .. (cold coal .... made to break coal into smaller chunks for a coal furnace)
Very motivational to me. And I'm not lazy. Makes me want to invent new projects. Enjoy your videos. I'm canning Okra pickles today. It's a Florida thing.
Thank you! All your videos are amazing! I know a lot of people have learned alot from your channel! Are you going to do a book at anytime about your channel? I hope so! God bless you dear and your family! So thankful for you and all that you share!
When I was a kid we had these frames made for the front porch.. With screens for the spring and glass for the winter. They we all numbered and each spring and fall we chnaged them out. Might work for your kitchen.
Love the beautiful wood cooking stove. Plus would love to have a kitchen like this. You are amazing with all of the upgrades you have done with your home.
Well, I have watched you bill your Home for the second time which I have seen the last few years has been amazing. I love this place and I can see why you wanted to get out of rat race. Homes are never really finished because of improvement thru the years. Your wife have been thrilled at this place. You got so many iron in the fire I would love to see more of the garden if possible.
Shawn it's amazing what you've accomplished in the last 4 years or more I lost track. But the this outdoor kitchen is absolutely beautiful great job Shawn. Thank you for another great video!!
The outdoor kitchen is coming along great. If you installed some of those solar tube lights I think it would bring in some good natural light, especially by the cabin entrance.
Thank you for this beautiful video. I'm not able to be outside except dusk and dawn due to extreme heat index here. It's nice to 'be outside', even vicariously.
Wow, that kitchen is a huge extention of the cabin, love the stove, please tell me you don`t have to break all of the stones in half to get a flat side, what a job that will be. With the kitchen, and a bedroom addition this cabin is going to have some pretty good square footing to it, love that table, simple beautiful design, you never cease to amaze me with what you can do without power tools, I couldn`t build that table if I was in a woodshop, your cutting 45`s by hand on a 6x6 timber, crazy.
Many years ago I helped a mate to use Granite rock similar to what you are doing as a veneer (see near end), on a large house (about 30 squares) except that the walls were full house height of about 10 feet. We tried to get tradies to do the work, as we had no experience at all, but none would accept the job. So we experimented on an interior feature wall and it went great, so outside we went. I also tackled making a fireplace and chimney and that was a great interior feature. Fortunately after some tradies saw what we were doing, a couple asked if they could assist and learn the processes, so we ended up getting "cheap" extra help to finish the job. In our case the building was in a town so had to comply with town building codes and that meant that there was a big reinforced concrete footer that was used as a base for the walls, plus the rocks were very large, almost good enough to be used as the prime construction material.
Shawn and Calli, So great to see you are stil on YT. We were so afraid the Canadian regulations would put you out of busines. We so love watching you. God bless you all and keep you safe.
Undying love for the handmade craftsman way.Respect sir.ps.lottsa us follow your ways and although we cannot duplicate your projects,we incorporate your teachings into ours.Thank you
My guess for the lack of consistent uploads is he spent so much time not getting work done when he was really sick, going on camping trips, and helping his daughter, that he's trying to get caught up on work as fast as he can before winter hits. Filming and editing takes up a lot of precious time which is running out for him.
Shawn, seeing your beautiful wood stove brings back memories of my grandmother who refused to give up hers in favor of a gas stove my dad & his brother & sisters wanted to buy for her. The bread she baked in it was the best I've ever tasted. RIP gram.
exactly my thoughts, the bread and pancakes in an old wooden stove my grandmother made are not to replicate ever again
Yes Steve, brings back a lot of memories. Grandma lived next door and helped us kids after mom died. 1959. The cookies and bread that came out of that old wood stove was incredible. She split her own kindling as well. God bless our Grandmothers

Totally agree!
Nothing like the sound of rain hitting a metal roof to remind you how important they are in the grand scheme of things.
🏠😊
I love the sound of rain ... sounds great on this roof .
Your sense of accomplishment has got to be huge!! I could see myself being quite happy in that outdoor kitchen, hot cook stove, then you get a cooler summer breeze..perfect! Love the rock on the outer perimeter too.
It’s already my favourite spot
@@MySelfReliance Hope all is well , but just in case you're still having parasites or just for future reference :
Old-fashioned real turpentine is very good at getting rid of parasites and many other ailments ... pretty much a cure-all and was always used by the mountain people , especially in the Appalachians .
Not the dangerous stuff with the petroleum distillates like hardware stores sell , but where just the sap of the pine tree is used .
Haven't used it in a while but Diamond G Forest brand from Georgia is powerful stuff . ( very quickly got rid of a middle ear infection ... within 20 minutes of taking it , the inner ear was very hot ; could feel it attacking the infection ... pain , dizziness , nausea stopped within a half-hour taking it . )
Diamond G Forest used to have some vids , I don't know if they still do . ( it can be a bit rough on the stomach for some people ) .
Extract of black walnut is also pretty good at getting rid of parasites .
There's also Neem powder or neem tea ( I don't know if you're able to grow neem trees where you're at ... I know they thrive in very warm climate . )
Doing too much of Neem or turpentine can be very drying for the skin though , so , maybe do some organic grass fed ghee ( good for skin and joints ) ... it's very good in coffee or hot tea , and other hot beverages .

Back when I was a kid living in Doylestown,PA. Old Mr. Fisher had a stove like this. Home smelled like sweet tobacco. Love your outside kitchen. Last week’s video was probably scared me the most out of your hole build.
Nice beginnings of some rock work there Shawn. That cheeseburger is making me hungry!!
Love that stove.
Amamos seu vídeos e o cão também . Obrigado por compartilhar 🇧🇷 . Deus abençoe você e sua família 🙏
Great progress on the outdoor kitchen!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The stove is a classic!
Your stove top meal looks delicious!
Cali is loving the outdoors!🐾🐾🫶🏻
Saludos desde venezuela hermano dios te bendiga hombre trabajador.....
Thats shaping up to be a beautiful sanctuary for you and your family and all the critters around you
Oh the memories and smells your stove evokes! Beautiful job their Shawn. Your eye for detail compliments your vision perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us.
You are enjoying that outside kitchen. So handy for you and your life style.
Mr. James. Have you considered applying a waterproof membrane over your metal roof. They come in different colors and can help mute some of the rain noise. You can paint it on or roll it on like you did your other membrane or roofing paper. Did not know if you knew if it.
I always start my Saturday the same way...coffee from the French press and My Self Reliance. I am amazed by what you have accomplished.
Beautiful kitchen Shawn👍👍👍👍♥️
Hi Shawn. Nice to see the outside Kitchen coming along. And everything done at a nice gentle pace. Stay strong and safe.
That outside kitchen is lookin' fierce!!!!!! That wood stove is the centerpeice. What a beauty, The stone wall will be amazing. Gonna be a lot of work bustin' all those rocks but I love your creativity.
I love your stove and outdoor kitchen!
Wow, it's true. 3rd time is the charm! It's truly magnificent, Shawn! The detail is incredible! I can already picture Thanksgiving dinner! 😊❤
Thank you , Mr James , I enjoy your craftsmanship.
You are an amazing person. Your family is so fortunate.
nice idea of the rock tub wall ... a cold chisel will help split them rocks too .. (cold coal .... made to break coal into smaller chunks for a coal furnace)
Very motivational to me. And I'm not lazy. Makes me want to invent new projects. Enjoy your videos. I'm canning Okra pickles today. It's a Florida thing.
Thank you! All your videos are amazing! I know a lot of people have learned alot from your channel!
Are you going to do a book at anytime about your channel? I hope so!
God bless you dear and your family! So thankful for you and all that you share!
That kitchen will be you and Cali s favorite hang out :) LOVE it
When I was a kid we had these frames made for the front porch.. With screens for the spring and glass for the winter. They we all numbered and each spring and fall we chnaged them out. Might work for your kitchen.
Love the beautiful wood cooking stove. Plus would love to have a kitchen like this. You are amazing with all of the upgrades you have done with your home.
Lovin’ that stove more and more!
nothing like cooking on a wood stove , bread and cakes taste delicious , you are the best craftsman l've ever watched on you tube. 💛💛💛
Well, I have watched you bill your Home for the second time which I have seen the last few years has been amazing. I love this place and I can see why you wanted to get out of rat race. Homes are never really finished because of improvement thru the years. Your wife have been thrilled at this place. You got so many iron in the fire I would love to see more of the garden if possible.
That kitchen isn’t going to be outdoor if you keep adding to it. Lol. Great build. I was planning a smaller version for a small cabin coming up.
Cali.....She is worth the channel alone. Nothing better than a dog by your side.
Shawn it's amazing what you've accomplished in the last 4 years or more I lost track. But the this outdoor kitchen is absolutely beautiful great job Shawn. Thank you for another great video!!
The outdoor kitchen is coming along great. If you installed some of those solar tube lights I think it would bring in some good natural light, especially by the cabin entrance.
The campfire is beautiful. /Julianna Hajnal, Hungary/
Thank you for this beautiful video. I'm not able to be outside except dusk and dawn due to extreme heat index here. It's nice to 'be outside', even vicariously.
Thanks for filming Shawn. 😁👍
Wow, that kitchen is a huge extention of the cabin, love the stove, please tell me you don`t have to break all of the stones in half to get a flat side, what a job that will be. With the kitchen, and a bedroom addition this cabin is going to have some pretty good square footing to it, love that table, simple beautiful design, you never cease to amaze me with what you can do without power tools, I couldn`t build that table if I was in a woodshop, your cutting 45`s by hand on a 6x6 timber, crazy.
Many years ago I helped a mate to use Granite rock similar to what you are doing as a veneer (see near end), on a large house (about 30 squares) except that the walls were full house height of about 10 feet. We tried to get tradies to do the work, as we had no experience at all, but none would accept the job. So we experimented on an interior feature wall and it went great, so outside we went. I also tackled making a fireplace and chimney and that was a great interior feature. Fortunately after some tradies saw what we were doing, a couple asked if they could assist and learn the processes, so we ended up getting "cheap" extra help to finish the job.
In our case the building was in a town so had to comply with town building codes and that meant that there was a big reinforced concrete footer that was used as a base for the walls, plus the rocks were very large, almost good enough to be used as the prime construction material.
Shawn, please make at least 1 hour video and tell me what that dormer for? Love your life and work. Thank You
Мы с Батей так же столбы на забор сначала обжигали,а после масло пропитывали, забор стоит уже 25 Ле
Shawn and Calli, So great to see you are stil on YT. We were so afraid the Canadian regulations would put you out of busines. We so love watching you. God bless you all and keep you safe.
Can't wait to see the stone wall finished! Thanks
Undying love for the handmade craftsman way.Respect sir.ps.lottsa us follow your ways and although we cannot duplicate your projects,we incorporate your teachings into ours.Thank you
That burger is reminscent of the old cabin..
Well deserved!
Awesome seeing your outside kitchen up n running .cheers Alan UK
I grew up with cooking on kitchen wood stove
this has become waaaaaay more solid build than the first one. tho i miss the stone oven from the first one.
Thank you Shawn for showing me a different way to start a saw cut on a board!
My guess for the lack of consistent uploads is he spent so much time not getting work done when he was really sick, going on camping trips, and helping his daughter, that he's trying to get caught up on work as fast as he can before winter hits. Filming and editing takes up a lot of precious time which is running out for him.
New kitchen looking amazing! Congratulations on a great channel!
