Reflecting back on the last 2 years spent building an off grid log cabin alone in the Canadian wilderness.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year! This video is the full version of the 9 minute video on my other channel (Shawn James), which you can watch here: • 2 Years Alone Building...
They both document just the log cabin exterior build, not the creation of the rest of the wilderness homestead, such as the outhouse, food gardens, greenhouse, etc., which can be viewed weekly or by following along in the Playlists on both channels. I'll create and upload an interior cabin video once it's finished later this winter.

I think people under estimate the overall difficulty of such a task that this man accomplished. The strength, the accuracy, time management (seasons, weather, daylight), the mental aspect (being secluded, wild animals, not close to healthcare, absent from family), oh and documenting all of it, editing and everything else that I missed. My hats off to Shawn. “My self Reliance” I couldn’t thin of a better title. Happy New Year!

So it costs 8 full average salaries to buy a home today. In 1970 it only cost 4 and a lot of the homes being purchased today are the same homes that were being purchased in 1970. Average cost of a private college education in the US today is $36k, in 1970 it was $1800. 2/3 the average salary today. A bit over 1/4 the average salary in 1970. Average renters in 1970 paid a little over a 1/4 of their monthly income on rent. Today Average renters pay nearly 1/2 of their earnings on rent. Average Salaries for college grads is even more stark. In 1970 it was 10k. Today it is 55k. An average home today costs 8 full college grad yearly salaries. In 1970 it only cost 2 1/2. There is a reason "Children" today feel that capitalism (at least todays current corrupt corporatist version of capitalism) has failed them.

Believe it or not, back in the 40s and 50s, when a whole family of four, a dog and cat, with a two car garage in the suburbs, etc, could be comfortably maintained on _one person's very average nine to five job,_ that was still capitalism. Countries that have free university education, universal healthcare, _those countries are capitalist systems too._ The choices are not only "suffer under the current *incredibly unbalanced* system" or "turn into China" you know. There are an infinite number of ways to improve people's lives within a capitalist system that we are not doing -- mainly because people have been told to believe that any improvement is socialism and bad for... some reason they don't understand and can't explain.

Many Men have the financial ability to support such an undertaking yet lack the skills ,stamina ,mental and physical ability while many men only lack the financial ability to achieve such a task. A task such as this takes so much more than what is being shown. Success must first be achieved in society in order to be able to fund such an undertaking. Hats off to you for such a very hard journey and work in order to even be able to start a project like this. I sure hope someone who receives this one day understands what it took to happen. One doesn't simply trot of into the wilderness ,drop some trees and build a cabin ....years, n years of hard work long before the first tree was ever felled 👍💯

It was a blessing in disguise that the neighbor from his first home caused so much problems. It was a sad day when he announced he was selling and starting all over again. I remember thinking then that the Lord was going to give him a better home and more beautiful piece of land. So many prayers later coupled with an incredible tenacity and ingenuity very few can muster, Shawn has built a beautiful home for himself and his wife. ❤ & ✊🏻 for this man from us all here. Blessed CHRISTmas and ‘23 to you Shawn + your lovely family.

I think it's just insane to think how much work, effort and sweat Shawn has put into his dream of living off the grid and being self reliant. Cheers to you Shawn! You have done a wonderful job and I'm glad that you took us all with you on this journey. You have what we Finns call Sisu!

This is more like a real log cabin construction compared to some others which I see using commercial lumber. I am very impressed with the effort he is putting into this build. Just digging down through those roots and hard dirt reminded me of how hard it is to do. Moving all those large logs is very dangerous and you have to know what you are doing not to get hurt. Rather than the chain saw board cutter I would have gone with the one with the large circular saw blade and used it to make regular lumber for the floor joists, wall studs and rafters. But then it would not look like a log cabin. I don't know about using wood for the below grade foundation, rock and some kind of cement would be my choice. He knows what he is doing because he always has the right tool to get it done. Kudos to all the great video shots of the work, makes me feel like I am right there watching it being done.

Have just watched the build. I only saw 3 power tools throughout, chainsaw, mill saw, and in the last few minutes a drill for the roofing panels. Loved that the majority was hand tools. You did a great job, and must have heaps of patience too. Hats off to you mate.

I've been watching Sean James since he laid the first log for his first cabin. I also have a passion for this type of work I'm just too old to do it but it's incredibly inspiring to actually see the strength and work ethic he has.

That’s quite the craftsmanship you have. That takes a lot of knowledge and know how to do something that complex let alone doing it by yourself and document your build. I so wished I would have done something like this in my life. It would take the rest of my days to do it now. A tip of my hat goes to you sir.

Amazing stuff! Gorgeous home. I grew up in a log cabin built in 1932. I miss it. Hope you are loving your home as much as I did mine. OMG! I love what you did with the door. It's beautiful!

This is different from the previous. Behind everything is a reason. As I can see you learned a lot from the previous house built. And into this house you put all of your skill and knowledge. This is not a house this is a home :). God bless you sir! You are a role model for lot of us!

I am quite amazed by the work you are doing. Now I am not a tecnical guy but having worked in a construction company for a few years I am quite sure that none of those workers I know could build a house like this on their own especially with those limited tecnical tools. My sincere respect! By watching all you videos I feel myself very relaxed. One special thought was coming to my mind: Back to the nature…back to our roots. Thanks so much for sharing with us such beautiful and harmonouse moments like these. Please take care. All the best to you and your family which includes also your dog. Greetings from Norway️️️

This man knows what he is doing ! It impresses me to no end to see the determination , no time wasted here ! Its mind boggling to see so many individuals pushing shopping carts around the city and begging for whatever , then you see someone like this , independent, determined , focused and asking nothing of anyone ! This man is not wasting time on this earth doing nothing ! he is using his head and muscle like the lord designed him to do ! God bless you sir and god bless your family !

Being a carpenter for the last 30 years I am really impressed not only with the skill but the grit and patience to build such a beautiful cabin. I am even more impressed that he never cussed. That is highly unusual as a carpenter.
