A man and his masterpiece. One log a time and one vlog at a time he shares this journey with us all. And shoots and shares amazing footage of the wilderness and it's beauty that some of us can only dream of and long for. I am truly grateful for all you do and share Shawn. You are an inspiring man to say the least. I'm absolutely captivated by your videos and always enjoy every second. Thank you 🙏 be well.

What impresses me, here, is no matter how much snow is there or how cold it might be, the work goes on. I come from a place a few hundred miles south from where Shawn is working. When the snow crunches under your feet and blows like powder in the breeze. IT IS COLD, well below freezing. I, myself would be hiding, in a warm place, waiting for spring and warmer weather. This, fellow subscribers, is the example of WORK ETHIC, which is sadly lacking in many of us today. My dad once told me, "live up to my name Bob, Add another L and an E to the end, and this is what you should do every day of your life, everything well done". He set the example in that and it is what I have tried to do, all of my 75 years. Shawn is a shining example of "everything well done" You go Shawn. ;-)

A suggestion about heating the boots up, and drying them out some, 1 1/2 to 2" stones. Fill a #10 can with them, put it on the stove to heat up, then shake them into each boot, stuff a wool sock on top of them to keep heat in a little while longer. Do this on the last fill-up of the woodstove, before you finally get up in the morning. They will be nice and warm.

It's really great and it's a pleasure to watch you build the log cabin in the traditional way. Few take the time and not least the effort to do this today. It is extremely labor intensive and takes a long time. One can really understand what the settlers went through. We do not have/did not have quite the same context in Scandinavia, but there were homesteads in the wilderness where people mostly managed themselves up to relatively modern times. In Lillehammer in Norway, they have a museum of cultural history where there are examples that have great similarities with your cabin. Some of them are from the 1600-1700s, but also some from the 1800s. At that time, ore pine was used and these logs really can withstand the test of time with proper maintenance. The oldest stave churches in Norway have such logs and they are from the 12th century.

Have you seen Eric Grankvist YT Channel? He is a young man in his early twenties, I think, building a cabin in much the same way as Mr. James, in the forest of Sweden. I don't recall what type of logs he used, but I'm sure he said. That is impressive that logs can last 10 centuries! I hope he used similar logs, haha.

I've been watching all of Shawn's amazing progress for a long time now from when he first started his other cabin. It is all so very impressive. I can't help but wonder how well the basement walls and foundation are holding up under the weight of all of those big logs in constructing the cabin itself. That has to be in the tons of pressure by now. I'm sure he has calculated all of that in when estimating how everything was going to fall into place from the git go. Wishing you the best and never forget,-- none of us can do anything without God's making it all possible and allowing us to have good health in the process for which we should all give God the thanks & praise He deserves. May God bless you & yours.

The cabin is looking good. Regarding the water line, a free solution would be a very small pin hole leak in the poly tubing just inside the cellar drain that bleeds air back in the line to drain it and drips when the pump is on. Make the hole on top and glue a piece of rubber flap that falls over it so when the pump is on it is shut off by suction. A drip line emitter that can be turned down to zero would make a good air vent that is controllable.

Shawn my man I have been following you for the longest time I am another fellow Canadian from Newfoundland I currently live in Edmonton Alberta,you do amazing work and with the big logs that you’re using to construct your current cabin is unbelievable, you’re doing all this work by yourself but you’re smart and using the different pulley and chain fall systems, keep bringing out the great videos and be careful out there take care say hi to your dog for me

I didn't realize that Emily had a channel! OMG! Where might I find it?? I wanted to say something that you may think is silly..I live alone in the city. I watch your channel for many reasons. One of those reasons is that it helps me to stay motivated and is so encouraging for me to get up and do stuff. I am in absolute awe of your skills and it is my deep desire to actually live like this. I so appreciate how you share what you do with us. Thank you.

Shawn, Peace & joy. I've missed your posts on this channel... I find them very inspiring and relaxing... I know a contradiction for sure. I have found your genuine passion for your projects refreshing... you don't create 'entertainment' to up your numbers, you just share your journey... sincerely and from the heart. This grey haired granny who spends lots of time on the internet working, likes to be 'humbled' by your work ethic... and personally find myself challenged to UP my own life. Thank you. *U* Kathleen

I love your resilience, I love your perseverance, I love your character, I love your honesty, and I admire your talent. I admire you, but mostly, I admire your wife. She must be a great woman. I watch your work on KZbin on TV. But I cannot press the “like” or leave a comment, just watch. So I decided to look for your channel on my iPad, so that I can give you the likes you so well deserve and leave a message whenever. Take care, my friend. Life’s too short, spend it wisely.

Shawn...there are hundreds of us out here who would like you and your wife to make a cooking/preserving book of your self reliance if possible. I know that your wife makes cheese, preserves and bread I also know that your plate is full building the cabin, but PLEASE consider doing this. You would make us all very happy. :) Cheers from a very cold North Bay.

Good to see that you are looking rejuvenated and your daughter is following in your footsteps on a journey of self reliance. Filming video's is great for the people who are watching, but sometimes it takes time away from you doing what is really important. Sounds like you have a lot of ambitious plans for the next 11 months+ and will be great to see your projects. Take care and look after the family.

So this past summer I went camping and forgot a fork to eat my cup o’noodles. I spent half an hour trying to carve chopsticks from two twigs and they wound up looking like crap, but they worked. Here you are hand carving dowels to the point where they perfectly slip into those bore holes you drilled into the logs with just enough friction to hold the logs together. Your skill and dedication is a sight to behold, I love watching your videos!

Missed you and Cali but was thankful you got to spend time with your family! I watch Emily too and enjoy both! I was born in the Rocky Mountains and crave the mountains sometimes, but thru your shared videos get a little bit of soul rejuvenation, I thank you for that! May my Lord and Savior continue to use you to bring joy and encouragement to so many! God bless y’all abundantly!
