Calli is just fine, doesnt bother me at all. She's just part of it all, which I love & we can hear just fine.

[@tamila7381]

I love watching Cali with the toy...."hey dad, I know your busy but.....throw the toy, throw the toy!" Your the best! Everything you do is so inspiring. You and your lifestyle encouraged me to leave the big city and relocate to a small town where I can now work towards my own small homestead. Since I'm a single mom with a disabled child, it'll take me a while, but at least I'm closer than I was a year ago. Thank you Shawn so much, your my off grid mentor!

I lay my iPad on my pillow play your videos one after the other, I realize the noises every nuance of sound is so soothing and calming it puts me in a sleep mode where I’m half awake because I continue to hear the rustle of the leaves ,the hammering, the wind, Cali breathing its the most calming sounds I’ve ever heard this is pure mind heart therapy ❤️

[@lindachapman9765]

What a satisfaction it must be to be in the middle of nowhere, and cook up a wholesome meal, amazing, and Cali is for sure the sweetest, chilled out dog ever, she is just adorable, so enjoying these videos, I found your channel but accident, and clicked on to be curious, so glad I did, you are one amazing man, xxx

You can never have too much firewood. Period. And having it cut down to all the needed sizes to start your fire is perfect. Staying prepared and staying ahead of the game. Well done! And you are skilled and experienced enough to make it look effortless. Thanks for sharing, Shawn! And for the recipes!

[@auldashy]

Shawn, as the weather begins to turn colder, PLEASE consider a video on cleaning and maintaining your leather. I'd love to see how you do it - especially the cleaning!

[@ClayBlasdel44]

Three Canadian channels are much alike, very soothing in their own ways. Buckin Billy Ray (Smith) from BC cuts trees and splits fire wood blended with his unique goofy humor and passion for axes. Living Off Grid with Jake and Nicole follows the adventures of a young couple building/living in a yurt on N.Vancover Island. Her charm is worth the ticket. Then Shawn and his bride. I think the secret are the sounds of snow crunching, of a kindling fire crackling and food frying. And of course, the star of the show, Cali. Its all so good, have no time left for network TV.

[@bradchampion8072]

Your Dogs panting wasn't messing up your sound I could still hear you just fine I just wanted to let you know that. love your videos!

[@jesusismykinghallelujah5303]

Is there ANYTHING you can't do? Shawn your videos always relax me after a long day, so thank you for that. One of the hardest working men on KZbin and you deserve all the respect and support from anyone watching. Love to Cali who wants those beans! LOL.

[@DCL26]

Just wonderful use of time management and productivity! So proud of all your achievements and committed lifestyle. So glad people like you exist. It warms my heart and helps me to believe in humanity again. Cali is a big part of it too! 😍😘🌻🌟💫✨

[@alexandrugheorghe965]

Been many years since. Was about 50 Km from Val D'Or Qc, got a job select cutting wood. I still remember, on the first day, I was all alone on my parcel I was working and I started yelling .. as hard as I could until I couldn't yell anymore. Then I just sat there for what must have been hours, just enjoying the quiet and surrounding nature noises.That was the best relaxation I ever got. Watching your videos melts away the frustrations and stress I get from living in a big city. Wish you the best.

[@temperhollow7716]

It's always best to soak dry beans overnight in water before cooking (and drain water before adding fresh water), but your method seems to work too. Great that you're all set up for colder weather and how nice it will be to take a sauna and roll in the snow this winter.

[@simonjon831]

A useful energy/time saving tip when splitting firewood logs is to place them ( for axe chopping ) inside a tyre ? so they don't fall to the ground. This saves your back and reduces dampness if the wood were to fall to the ( possibly) wet ground. Also offers protection to both the axe head and anything else ... if an axe blow misses. Lovely videos ... Thank you for sharing it all .

Hey Shawn, how about making a greenhouse to help grow food? Make the frame similar to the other structures and clear panels from Home Depot. This would allow a longer growing season as well as a controlled environment. God Bless!

BTW Cali’s breathing isn’t very loud when you’re talking. Thanks for the details of how you’re going to fix the loose Axe head too, with Linseed oil. Also what you need to do with the oven. When you’re adding ingredients before cooking. These things are so valuable to us. I really appreciate how you explain what you’re cooking... Ok, you stopped explain for one recipe but I loved the way you did this video. Absolutely Fantastic way of handling and presenting this video. Your videos just keep getting better and better.

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

Shawn, this is another great video, thanks for sharing. I'm envious of you and Cali, what a life you two enjoy. The Baked beans and cornbread looked delicious. When you sat down to eat, my stomach started growling. Seriously. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode, again, thanks for sharing. Stan

[@tinydancer7426]

My mom grew up on a farm....depression era baby.......no electricity in the house until late 50's early 60's....one naked light bulb hanging from the kitchen ceiling and a single outlet upstairs in the "living room" so granddaddy could watch his baseball and football games between farm chores. It wasn't until late sixties that they put in a stove with a fire box AND could run off propane, so my mom grew up with only a BIG wood fired stove........mom said she, her sister and grandma could tell, just by looking at the fire, when the stove top was hot enough for cooking and/or when the oven was ready for baking and roasting. She said none of the wood stoves ever had a thermometer in the oven door.

[@artistaloca4]

@@tinydancer7426 She had a TV!!???!!?

[@tinydancer7426]

@@artistaloca4 Nope, grand daddy had an old hand--me-down TV with a set of hand-me-down rabbit ear antennae that one of mom's brothers brought to the farm when he was getting a NEW TV for his family. Grandma was lucky that grand daddy let her spend any money on books, or her favorite, a yearly Reader's Digest subscription.(When we had to move grandma to assisted living and we cleaned out the farm house, we found boxes and boxes of those reader's digests going back to the 40's and earlier. I brought them home and steadily read through them while recuperating from surgery. Good reading, much better than current RD's) Grandma was a reader. Grand daddy didn't appreciate being educated. None of his 6 sons completed high school. All 3 of the daughters did. My mom said she was always having to fight for time to do her homework. Sitting up late at night was not an option because of the cost to burn candles or oil or kerosene lamps. Both my mom and her older sister left home the day after graduation to "get the hell off the farm". Both went to "the big city" (ha-ha) with what little clothes they owned, and got jobs at a "defense plant" and shared a room in a rooming house (no board, they took their meals at the plant cafeteria). Mom met my dad at the rooming house. The rest is history. And here I am watching youtube videos. :0D

[@tinydancer7426]

@@richardsabean5781 Grandma's all wood stove was this big hulking monster of a cook stove. Had a big, I mean BIG water tank on the side for hot water. Mind you there was no indoor plumbing in the house until the late 1960's, when my uncles deigned to run a water line from the kitchen porch thru the wall into the kitchen over to the sink (sink drained to a pipe that ran thru the wall outside to the grass on the hill surface(in the late 50's/early 60's they put a submersible pump in the spring in the little spring house, then ran a reinforced water hose on top of the ground with a piece of angle iron over it, up to the kitchen porch to a big concrete "set tub" that came out of our basement (when my parents had our basement "knotty pined"). That was nice cuz then when we kids would be playing on the farm, we had lots of ice cold water to wash up in. Later in the 60's the uncles eventually installed a water heater in the kitchen. Bathroom facilities was still the out house or the guys going up over the hill behind the house out of side (during warm weather that was). Grandma did not have a fully functioning bathroom until early/mid 1980's and not until my mom shamed the uncles, who lived near the farm, to build a room addition, put in a septic system, drill a proper well, and make that addition a bathroom for their mother. (had to do indoor plumbing too to get the water up stairs) That was a very old farm house. It was old, very old when grand daddy bought the farm back around 1929/1930 ( the farm had been abandoned a very long time) An old german style farm house built into the side on a hill with only 2 exterior walls exposed (one end in a hill, as well as the back). Gosh how I miss going to the farm. I was/am a city kid. Wish I could have bought the farm, 40 acres on one side of the road, another 10 acres of wood land on the other side.
