Cabin Prep For Fall. (Ep 28)

In Episode 28 I prepare for the arrival of friends. The boat makes a few more triumphant trips up and down the river. The knowledge from locals still rings loudly in my ears and mind as summer winds down. The folks in this region never fail to impress me.
Carpentry work, Boat trips, Outdoor cooking, Fires and wilderness related activities are all a part of everyday life out here. #cabin #cabinbuilding #survival

[@meturns4666]

Miss Libby , I feel the same way every week, but it's OK, I've got a good therapist helping me through the week. 😅😅😅 cheers from Melbourne.

[@onesilvergrey]

⁠@@meturns4666 You guys have said exactly what I was thinking, this is my most looked forward to video every week now, it must be a Melbourne or Aussie thing 😊.

[@monotremata9892]

Also watching every week from the Mallee Victoria Au .

[@maryb1686]

Shawn, I am just going to keep playing your videos on a loop so you get the KZbin compensation this channel so rightly deserves. As usual, I am riveted. your content gets better with each new video!

[@TheJennyjump]

Yes that’s great! Go to his playlist and you can play all or live on the edge and hit the shuffle button 😂

[@timbjork2098]

Ive also heard it helps by not hitting the skip button on commercials. just what i heard not sure if it correct.

[@TheJennyjump]

@@timbjork2098 yes that is correct watch those ads

[@donaldhofman5257]

Sean, if you have a small soldering torch and aluminum rod, you can fix your boat permanently! You'll have to clean off all the caulking really good!

[@Oldmane-420]

J-B weld! It’s a metal epoxy, one min to mix, spread it on,wait twenty four hours… good like new!

[@lisafaust3801]

Ha! I love it -- the Make Do Cabin and a door with a mail slot -- genius....and a great kernal of an idea for any other buildings you might want to put up!!

[@darrinparkin718]

was about to send out a search party!

[@jcavenagh]

Closer to winter security...bit by bit. Friends will be a morale boost!

[@scottd7926]

the hardest working man on YT right now. another week of highs and lows and you're taking it all in stride. your remark about your lack of "creative editing" is why all of us continue to follow along. it was also good fortune to find the GoPro. have a great week w/ your friends

[@ervintaylor6508]

Keep going man don't get demoralized don't let it get you down Sean I think if people want to help you it would be okay if they're helping you with material type of stuff that you need to sustain the lifestyle that you've chosen you're still the one doing the work you're still the one struggling You're still The One smacking your finger with the hammer I don't know it's just a thought but we're rooting for you and we're praying for you man

[@petercostello6214]

Top man Shawn. Great to see the progress against all the odds ! Make sure your buddies earn their keep when they come to visit. I’m sure there’s 101 things they can help you with. This channel is the highlight of my week. Many thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@peni80085]

Had to put my dad to sleep, ehm I mean my dad and I have to go to sleep now. We'll watch this clip tomorrow. Greetings from Finland!

[@mnky1800]

If you have water in boat just pull the plug while you are running on plane the water will drain out. I did it all the time when I had a John boat just remember to put it back in before you stop. Really enjoy the content.

[@mikemckinley1031]

Hello Shawn how are you today hit the thumbs up button it helps Shawn’s channel

[@Tomhohenadel]

Shawn, impressed that you have 40k subscribers. Looking forward to the roof going on. Keep up the good work

[@medtech1a]

You’ve come a long way with your cabin and putting it together with scraps and what you have is the way struggles are but personally I think you’re doing a great job. Have it all your way without worrying about others opinions is the way it should be because this is yours.

[@angelab2906]

That make-do soup looked good and healthy! I get the integrity that you're speaking of on wanting to show mistakes, and also on wanting to do it on your own. Onward and upwards :).

[@tycolb2881]

I follow lots of similar KZbin channels but this one is amongst the top of my list. Keep up the good work and don’t burn yourself out. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@richardmunnscityslicker1749]

Try raising your roof Joist on you're porch higher on to you're main roof about 16-18 Inch's and then you can raise you outside porch wall about 6 Inch's higher. Good luck bro and keep on keeping on

[@johnbolton9483]

Dude you got great content since you have non-stop issues thrown your way ! Very clear you have Carpentry skills !

[@timmorin69]

Shawn you are an absolute beast!! Your drive and determination is out of this world!! Keep up the great work!

[@rongoris3022]

Don't worry Shawn there is nothing wrong with "make-do" doors, supplies or approaches to building your cabin. This coming from someone who has never attempted such a grand adventure but from someone who is more interested in the results and whether or not they work for you "at this time". There is nothing saying that you cannot rework or replace things in the future but that (at least for me) would be when I have the time and resources to make the improvements I want to make. Personally I think you are doing an absolutely amazing job with what you have to work with. Keep up the good fight and do not get discouraged or disheartened by the 0.01% naysayers. This is your experience and your KZbin channel doing it your way. If others want to complain then maybe they should simply create their OWN KZbin channel and do it "their way". Anyhow, love the build and hope you find your GoPro on the trails. Looking forward to many more videos to come! 👍😊👍

[@melindajane2299]

Love the video. You could use the mail slot to aim for bears 🤣

[@spacedudey2k]

Thank god you’re safe

[@paddypatton]

I love at the 31:40 mark where you are ranting about the camera and you can see the fish feeding in the river above your head. Keep it up, you're doing great. Was getting anxious about you with the delay in posting. Probably due to technical issues but always worried about injury etc.

[@KevinReimer-h7w]

An honest, straight up video. Perfect. Uh, what’s perfect is that it isn’t perfect!

[@elkbarry89]

A hole in the boat now! You can empty the water while the boat is moving if you pull the plug , just don’t forget to put it back in when you stop😂

[@Astroclutch]

This is my favourite channel atm I find myself waiting for the next episode. Keep it up dude loving the dream

[@superjeep1962]

You are doing better than I could do!!!! Makes you seem normal!

[@thor4594]

WOOT!! Another episode!

[@kevink3461]

I like the “do it alone” and “do without” and all the challenges you face as a result & how you make decisions and move on. That’s what makes this channel interesting to me. It wouldn’t be so if you had a bunch of people there helping you & slapping it all together. Struggles build character. Thanks for the video.

[@wanderlore8875]

Wow! 40+K subs! Many of us have been following Shawn since he started. The progress he has made, all the struggles and glories along the way..I wait impatiently each week LOL.. Your doing great Shawn, we are all so proud of you. Seeing windows in the new cabin, wow from where you started out. Keep doing what your doing, its a big part of my week.

[@thegutkicker7725]

I think what your doing is awesome

[@jlh0440]

Door with a mail slot, nice! Now the Canada Post can deliver your mail via a moose!! 😁

[@patriciacrofton4517]

You are living my dream. Thank you for another amazing video. I’m steady looking out for my weekly dose of “It’ll-Do-Cabin Show. I thank you again. It’s coming along nicely. Till next week.

[@hanneliewiese3477]

You are human and just you - you are doing so well - must be tough with all the problems that you have to overcome whilst just about everything is on camera.

[@chrisfindlay5963]

Shaun, your video's are excellent for the very reason that you show your mistakes, setbacks and lay it all out exactly how it is. You are doing brilliantly, persevering through all the ups and downs which is what it is all about. It would be great to see you find a lady to share the experience with you and share the vision and the work. Just saying :).

[@harveynorth3977]

Sheesh, I've been holding my breath for a new episode all day. I was half way to go check the weather for storms in that part of the world haha

[@meturns4666]

Ahh. , Saturday morning , hot coffee and my favourite youtuber , what an awesome start to the weekend, thanks Shawn great to see your well .cheers mate from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

The cabin is looking great - what a difference with the windows. Well done !

[@TrevorChenier]

YESSSSSSSS BROTHER !!! MIIGWETCH !!! THANK YOU !!!

[@nothandybutcheap2086]

Been checking all day ,done work let’s go

[@mcintyrefarm1558]

Haven't even watched yet but so excited, gotta do dinner then watch. YAHOO

[@danielcronce6593]

Shawn good seeing those windows go in a good week

[@Deck1ngUK]

Seeing the amount of work you put into just moving your lumber pile, I admire your work ethic, I also understand your desire to just document your journey living in the wilderness, but never be ashamed to ask for help. I feel you have a whole new family out here just wishing you well. A good week, well done, but I think the mail slot is a nice touch .

[@BlackRail33]

A cabin with some irregularities has some character. Looking great!

[@Edmund_Squid]

Here's a little boating tip for you. When you have a bunch of water in your boat like that, go ahead and start your trip. Get your boat up to speed and on plane, then you can take the plug out and it will syphon the water out of your boat for you as you go.

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Your videos are so authentic and from the heart. It's admirable that you sincerely want to show the real deal in regards to what it is like to create a life in the wild, starting from scratch. Your perseverance, varied skills, calm demeanor and ability to be true to yourself is remarkable. No matter the mistakes, ups, or downs, we all support you. You do a bang-up job. Stay well. P.S. BTW Awesome healthy soup.

[@rogerwills1463]

There's a lot of folk all around the world very relieved to see this episode Shawn, will watch in the morning (UK time although currently in Portugal!)

[@longjohn77]

Yeah! Just in time to start my weekend off!

[@Victorialands]

Gotta say you sure get a lot thrown at you… the truck, boat, boat motors and you take it all in stride. So many people just give up when things get tough. Any way, that’s going to be one nice, cozy cabin. It’ll be great with the wood stove keeping you toasty warm. I had to light wood stove this morning to get the chill off... can’t beat the wood heat! Enjoy your visit with your friends. Have fun! All the best to you

[@AboveTheLower48]

Always speak positive and forgive yourself often. Great job!!!! I always look forward to your videos and updates!! Everything is coming along nicely.

[@joannehiiro1111]

It seems like a week of frustration Shawn. Authentic. Every day can’t be roses. I really appreciate you showing the moments of struggle and in turn sharing your realistic and really chill way of handling yourself. I’m so glad you found the grow pro. I giggled because I “lose” things all the time just like that. Nothing is really lost, I just forgot where I set it down. 😂 One more thing, we have a place here called the Repurpose Project. My son and I go all the time, looking to find project supplies. This not only saves money and the planet, it helps add uniqueness to whatever we are doing. That’s a really long way for me to say I love the mail slot in the door. Your doing great. Have a great week with your friends.

[@joannehiiro1111]

I bet it felt great to shave!

[@parsvanstrom5791]

Finally! Got a little worried there... :)

[@tnagowski]

Like your channel, keep it up. Do not change anything.

[@tricks-and-tips]

Yeah. Good to see you made it through another week 😊

[@IslaminUrdu2.0]

Beautiful work ❤

I love that you're not perfect.. And you are not afraid to show mistakes 😊. Keep doing what your doing 🤗

[@michaelosmon]

That 44 minutes flew by. Appreciate ya

[@rclrcl462]

I have nearly nothing in common with you. I am a woman. I am almost 71 years old. I know absolutely nothing about building. I don't like extremely cold weather. I live in the suburbs of a large city. I do however have a second home, A small cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I too love the forests! Also love your videos!

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

Was a great video brother, I'm the work with what you got type of guy also, nothing at all wrong with your videos

[@nomadicj]

I love how in everything Sean does I can see myself. Yup, I would have done that. Yup, that bodge has me written all over it. Thanks for being real bud. Keep trucking on.

[@maryfields1111]

The reason I like your channel is because you do keep it real. ❤😊

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

That's some pretty big loads Shawn ! nice getting all that up there in a couple trips 👍

[@ladyjay6741]

I love this video. What great intuitiveness. This is what living off grid looks like. You need to be strong minded and willing to make do and you do it all. Thank you. Hello from Michigan, be careful, stay safe and God bless.

[@sandrabaxter2865]

So glad to see this posted! You’re an incredible builder. Keep in mind how long it took you to become the builder you are! It will take time to become a videographer too. So far so good. Love your work.

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

I always enjoy watching you work on your cabin and doing all the work that you do. Hope you have a great time with your friends.

[@michaelosmon]

Hey just so you know if you drive a boat with the plug out water will drain until you stop moving. It's useful knowledge if you ever start taking on water pull the plug while you're moving it will help you

[@davidgreen144]

You could also make an Aframe roof over your deck area that ties into your cabin roof. A main beam with joists at the same 45% pitch . Looking good 👍

[@richardbuller9283]

Hi, thanks for sharing all this stuff with us. I am really enjoying your journey. It appears that you are quite an advanced carpenter. Excellent work. I’m a retired pipe fitter so I appreciate good quality craftsmanship more than most. I hope your finances are improving you need dependable transportation. Are you going to winter over there at your cabin? I think that for you baring any catastrophies would find it exilerating. I’ve commented before, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me, but I want you to know that I look forward to every new vid.

[@lucymartyn8205]

You're a beast man, some worker. Its always been a dream of mine to build a sustainable lifestyle in the wildernesses. Unfortunately I'm recovering from my second spinal operation, so it's a bitter sweet feeling watching your videos but I'm routing for yah. Love the format of the videos, keep doing what you're doing man.

[@marianfrances4959]

"...gawd-awful beard..."😅 Awesome the river came up. Your guests will be fine. I once visited a friend who was building his cabin and I slept on a stack of drywall for a bed!😅 But I had a door...and no bears! Love your videos.👍😎🇨🇦🙏🌲🌊
