Thanks for watching! I realized after I uploaded the video that I didn't provide any explanation for the process of growing mushrooms in logs, nor was it obvious what I was doing. Click on this link for a brief description of what I'm doing and why. It's a video on my other channel, Shawn James; th-cam.com/video/5IuOtpD-JVA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for explaining! I was 4.5 minutes in and thought "I'll check the comments, someone will know!" Should have known it would be you explaining.😊 Much respect from a fan way down in Louisiana, U.S.
I wonder how many people are yet to realize that to make these camera shots you have to walk twice or thrice the usual distance. Have to setup the camera, walk the shot, and then retrieve it. First time i got this realization was when watching the tv show Survivorman, where he explained this process while being alone and without a camera crew. It impressed me, and still impresses me how much effort goes into making these awesome shots.
Nope. Unless my wife and daughters are with me on a hike or something, I am alone and film myself. They help when and where they can and want to more often, but I build alone
You have earned all the respect from all viewers. You are such a good hard working man, with good moral principles and your humility is to be admired and i know rewarded by the our Lord and your family. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm one loyal viewer. Thanks and God Bless you and your family.
One thing I've always loved about watching you bust your ass building whatever is on the menu for the day is you've always had Cali there and always take the time to throw her toy for her. You're an absolute savage with a soft heart. Thanks for always sharing such great footage and working so hard to bring it to us Shawn.
I have been binge watching both of your TH-cam sites and enjoying all that you have done and are doing. I get the biggest kick out of Cali and her antics and expressions... Too bad she couldn’t speak. Perhaps some day you might consider doing a voice over for her. I am 74 years old woman and cannot experience nature as I once did, but watching you is breaking back some memories. There is something about the smell I miss and I miss hearing the sap fall into the cans. Thank you for sharing your life
He is the few that I see work, work, and work. Awesomeness!!! Get outta here with that 9-5 , Saturday and Sundays off. Also, working with Mother Nature. This was my Grandparents work ethics.
This is my fascination too. The illusion of continuity created here by the way it's filmed, most people would never consider as they're so used to television and movies. I assume given Cali isn't being distracted by another person, that Shawn is constantly moving a tripod around in between takes, or should I say edits.
I've been building structures for decades ( hundreds ) many of them being of different types of log homes including some for my self and family but so have many of my peers. What I've built is nothing to be in awe of since it is my trade, what I am in awe of with these videos is all the time it takes this man to go back and forth to pick up and relocate his camera ! Back tracking down the trails over and over again to show him coming and going, getting footage from left and right , up and down. If he didn't have to screw with the camera as much he could have built a village . Maybe one day his wife or someone worth his salt would join him to get the footage needed , allowing this man to exhaust his full potential !
I'm willing to bet, if you ended up on the moon and were going to be there for two years, you would build a log cabin while you were there, and it would be testimony of your skill, talent, grit, and self determination and independence! Your the man, Shawn! God bless you & your family!
Many people who have never done something like this will never know the amount of work that goes into such a project. Triple the work when doing it with traditional non-electrical powered handtools! 💪💪
It wouldn't surprise me if I found out that your I.Q is beyond 130 which is extremely intelligent 🤔 you're very resourceful and a wonderful person God bless Shawn James 🙏I enjoy your videos 👌
What a Blessing it is to watch a man to show us the Gibson talents that God has given him and to show us iam we all are to watch such talented men from the gifts of God keep up the good and Bless work your doing a fabulous job God bless you
Hello Shawn! When I first started watching your vids I assumed your wife was behind the camera. You made it seem so effortless but watching you trudge in snowshoed up these hills makes me realize how hard you must constantly double back to get these flawless masterpieces out to us. Thank you!
How absolutely relaxing it is to watch a man working! Sounds like there’s something wrong there, but it’s true. Between the beautiful scenery and the hard-working man, I’m totally relaxed. I love these videos and I’m so thankful I found them so long ago and have been able to follow along on your journey. Thanks for all that hard work and dedication.
No powered planes or nail guns. No petrol generators. Its rare to see a craftsman who can still achieve perfect results in time honoured fashion. More in tune with nature as well, given a much reduced carbon footprint and more peaceful approach to life. 🙂
Bright sunshine, wood smoke in the air, soaking up that vital vitamin D after a long, dark winter, firm footing, no bugs......ahhh nothing like March in the woods!
So very true. Makes for great social distancing! And you can get so much done when you aren't fighting off mosquitoes, black fly, deer flies, and no see-ums.
@@maryblaylock6545 I was in the woods today. Almost 80F here in Georgia and my allergies are going crazy in the pollen capital of the world. I am thinking the North woods would not be full of pollen.
Shawn is a one man building army. With just Cali for company, we watch him move mountains, and fashion logs into works of art. I was so furious when he told us he'd be starting over... Now however, as time passes and the wound heals, I'm excited for his new beginnings... Like a kid full of great expectations, let loose in a candy store. UK .
I'm a carpenter also. It's understandable how this kind of working is so relaxing to the mind. Doing what you love is the key. And the body feels well used at the end of the day. We sleep soundly on a regular basis. You make me proud of my Canadian roots Sean. And I still have my great grandfathers woodworking tools from the 1800s. My Papa moved to the US in the 40s. I've been watching your vids since day one. Peace to be with you brother.
Shawn, you absolutely amaze me. In one way or the other I have done much of what you are doing BUT not under the circumstances that you do and accomplish with great efficiency and quality. The quality of your work is in my estimations Supurb. Congratulations. I have been watching for maybe 3 plus years and I love every moment of your adventure. Thanks RC ,
2500 views in 11 minutes! Holy Moose! I would have said Holy Cow, but i would guess you are more likely to see a moose than a cow.. Love the new builds, glad winter is shedding her blankets and spring is waking up.
Now I know how "chaga" appears. Cali is a scream--eating snow, rolling in it, not ready to wade in open water, but she's thinking about it. Rafters & the loft will be a great place to air-dry lumber. Thank you for keeping all of us on your journey. Crystal-clear audio, so enjoyable at the stream.
Waters running...the smell of Spring is in the air... Really respect you learning process on building project as lessons....nice Chaga find. Have a great day Shawn. 👍
If you are walking in the Canadian wilderness and find a few cabins, a church, school you know who built them. Thanks for sharing and uploading we will keep watching you and kali
Making the impossible look possible one step at a time is therapeutic and reassuring that anyone can achieve their goals if they just stick with it.Thanks for the inspiration!!
Sean, for the content this by far has to be one of my favorite episodes you've ever done. I was hooked from start to finish. Thank you so much for allowing us to tag along with you on this wonderful journey. My wife and I aren't far behind you and I've learned so much by just watching. So thank you for that. Have a blessed day!
It’s a lot of work to video tape yourself for each thing you’re doing, then setup again for the next shot... while you’re actually building a house. Just amazing.
Another great video. I like how Shawn has his snowshoes hanging on the outside of the cabin. A guy in the suburbs parks his car in the garage. The guy in the woods parks his snowshoes outside his cabin. I love it. This has to be one of the best channels on the planet.
When I see shots of the water current under the ice and the steep snow banks I get concerned about Cali falling in and not being able to get out. One of our neighbors here in British Columbia just lost a Golden Retreiver that way a couple weeks ago. He was swept under the ice by the current and drowned. I thought of Cali immediately and have been praying for her safety. You probably have her trained to stay away from water in the winter. Anyway, God bless and keep you both safe. I so enjoy your videos......it brings me peace in the midst of an unsettled world.
I love 💔 the work shop which is compatible and suitable for living.The quality and the thickness of wood used will stands for many years . Thanks for providing a good Vedic sir
I've been telling all my friends about your channels .can't stop raving about them .love watching and learning Shawn thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos.
I am so glad I am finally strong enough to watch your more lengthy videos again. Evidently there was already an infection and it filled my good lung with pneumonia. Do take care
Love that "Social Distancing" teeshirt, Shawn. Amazing that is all you wore in central Ontario in mid-March on a fine day! That's a great but simple workbench outside your new workshop. Callie proves that four legs are definitely better than two in deep snow. Love her boundless energy and patience waiting to retrieve her her toy when you throw it for her. I'm curious to find out what that log construction outside the shop will be used for.
How awesome were the First Nation and Pioneers to do all this without so many of the things Shawn can use! Respect to Shawn for keeping the spirit alive!
I AM S, KOREAN AND 63YEARS OLD. ALTHOUGH I CAN NOT SPEAK AND WRITE WELL. I WANT TO WRITE IN ENGLISH MY FEELING AGAINST TO YOU. YOU ARE VERY A WONDERFUL AND GRATE STRONG MAN. I HOPE YOU WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY WELL DURING LONG TIME. ANYTIME PLEASE UNDERSTSND MY POOR ENGLISH LEVEL. BYE
I am watching. this episode of you building aloft in your workshop and planting mushrooms o several logs I can see how you work so easily something I can't do at this time with all that snow.
Sorry I didn’t see video when you posted, was stuck working cleaning after people (I’m a housekeeper for hotel). Would rather your physical work any day. When you work you show progress when I work it only shows when someone can’t complain. You really do make me miss my uncle when I stayed with him. If I didn’t cut the firewood I was cold as heck, 😂.
Ps love your furry baby. Love watching you both. I grew up knowing lot of different people building houses (thanks to my father and hubby) saying measure twice cut once. So you don’t waste material needed for future projects.
I love how Cali knows the way. She is the leader. Please eat well keep strong and healthy, it's just you two out there. God bless. 👁👁you soon. Anxious to see the beginning of your new Homestead.
It's a truly beautiful experience to watch your videos. Thank you for some peace and calm in these trying times. Peace and light from The Blue Mountains in Australia
Love the frozen waterfall. Miss Cali, is such a cutie pie!!! *Just wonderin, what is the temp. up there, you took your shirt off, w/the snow still out on the ground??? Looks like spring is on it's way!! But, looks like rain, snow, the rest of what weather nay bring your way, does not stop you Shawn. You blessed by God Almighty, for sure!!!!!! You are unlimited w/your skills & talent, Shawn!! Do take care. (FL.)
Shawn you are doing a great job on your workshop it seems like you are getting it done pretty fast and it looks great, How dose the tea taste,That sound of that beautiful water running would just make me so relaxed and that water dripping was so amazing,Take it easy
I always love seeing what you’re up to Shawn as well as enjoying the gorgeous landscape........but I must say.......Cali is where my eyes always go ❤️ love that dog !!
Wow, mushroom, too! I know this woman could never survive in the wonderful world you have created for yourself, but I crave it anyway. I am noticing the beautiful vibrations of my heart. Thank you for another video.
Yes here we go again. And be shure to see what he will do in a year. His energy and work just make me to build a compost toilet in the midle of our main city at the back of our yard. Amazing!!!
Mr James, you sir are an inspiration to us all. I don't know if you are a tradesman or self taught, either way I stand in awe of your tenacity and get off our collective arses and just do it. Your dog is just brilliant, like his master.
@@kimperes5987 There are articles on the internet on this subject, I am going to age myself, but I saw this when I was young lol. That is what the term ice box comes from. You can saw the ice from any from any frozen lake, pond. Hope this helps
THERE IS A FINE 'OLD TIME' TECHNOLOGY! My grand and great-grandparents had 'ice ponds' for exactly that purpose. They heated with wood and built farm buildings...and there was some sawdust on hand.
In the gardens of some stately homes here in the UK they have ice houses dug into the ground and lined with brick, the servants would collect the ice from the ponds and pack it into the ice house so that their masters could have ice cream etc.
@Kim Peres my Dad used to cut large blocks of ice on our dugout, then stored the ice blocks in a wooden bin. Shavings and saw dust were gathered from a sawmill, and were used to insulate/bury the ice blocks.
When I was a kid growing up north of Parry Sound, we would tap our trees to gather syrup. It takes a lot of tree syrup to boil down enough to use. It brought back some wonderful memories watching you. Also, when spring was near it was my job to paint the inside of the outhouse. 🥰

Yes he is! "Traplines And Inlines" young fella is too.
Just in awe of how much energy it takes to walk through the deep snow and to live this lifestyle. Nature’s exercise gym.
We've gone from "chop wood, carry water" to a remote voice-operated lifestyle and going to the gym! Ridiculous isn't it?

After you made that beautiful place, you gave it up for a match box. You fix it so beautiful with an outdoor kitchen, laundry/sauna, everything.
Thanks again for another thought provoking post,Always anticipate the outro extras.Spring thaw segments are so tranquil
Shawn, you are our favourite channels on TH-cam. God bless.
Lots going on. As the weather warms & the sap runs, you must be getting excited about beginning the new cabin.
Shawn you are doing a great job on your workshop it seems like you are getting it done pretty fast and it looks great, How dose the tea taste,That sound of that beautiful water running would just make me so relaxed and that water dripping was so amazing,Take it easy
Good morning from Brooklyn, Ny. Another day in the wilderness! Great.

I always love seeing what you’re up to Shawn as well as enjoying the gorgeous landscape........but I must say.......Cali is where my eyes always go ❤️ love that dog !!
Wow, mushroom, too! I know this woman could never survive in the wonderful world you have created for yourself, but I crave it anyway. I am noticing the beautiful vibrations of my heart. Thank you for another video.
Love the peaceful music with the video. Soothes right down to the soul.
Yes here we go again. And be shure to see what he will do in a year. His energy and work just make me to build a compost toilet in the midle of our main city at the back of our yard. Amazing!!!
This is great, back to being totally intrigued and mesmerized. I’m in my happy place. ❤️🐾
Mr James, you sir are an inspiration to us all. I don't know if you are a tradesman or self taught, either way I stand in awe of your tenacity and get off our collective arses and just do it. Your dog is just brilliant, like his master.
When I see all that saw dust I remember using sawdust to preserve blocks of ice for summer.
@Sylvie Gonzalez Great to know Sylvie! I hope Shawn sees your comment! I'm curious as how to do this. Would you mind sharing?
@@kimperes5987 There are articles on the internet on this subject, I am going to age myself, but I saw this when I was young lol. That is what the term ice box comes from. You can saw the ice from any from any frozen lake, pond. Hope this helps
THERE IS A FINE 'OLD TIME' TECHNOLOGY! My grand and great-grandparents had 'ice ponds' for exactly that purpose. They heated with wood and built farm buildings...and there was some sawdust on hand.
In the gardens of some stately homes here in the UK they have ice houses dug into the ground and lined with brick, the servants would collect the ice from the ponds and pack it into the ice house so that their masters could have ice cream etc.
@Kim Peres my Dad used to cut large blocks of ice on our dugout, then stored the ice blocks in a wooden bin. Shavings and saw dust were gathered from a sawmill, and were used to insulate/bury the ice blocks.
When I was a kid growing up north of Parry Sound, we would tap our trees to gather syrup. It takes a lot of tree syrup to boil down enough to use. It brought back some wonderful memories watching you. Also, when spring was near it was my job to paint the inside of the outhouse. 🥰
I could sit here all night and just watch you build very interesting.
