"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

BADASS Don is correct. I experienced the same thing. Drove myself, sent to a bigger hospital. Got stint, sent home. Can't wait to see him back on the channel. Merry Christmas Kevin and the channel family.

Keeping Don in my thoughts and prayers. Im so glad to hear he is doing well considering. It’s very sweet of you all to set up a go fund in support of him in his time of need. I’ve gladly contributed and hope it helps him abundantly. Merry Christmas to you all 🕯️🙏🏻🎄

[@comedianmattrossey]

Thanks Kevin for letting us know about Don's situation. Having seen Don on the channel many times I can say that Don's going to have the hardest time with keeping his BPM under 120, he's not wired for that. Hopefully he'll be out of the hospital soon and he can adjust his lifestyle to accomodate his situation, because Don doesn't stop when he's doing anything, he's like a Duracell Rabbit. Don, please rest up and get better. We would all like to see you again on the channel if you're able to.

[@cayminlast]

[@cekfraun]

Thanks for letting us know about Don's heart attack, Kevin. I predict he will be up and running as normal in no time! I did the same thing two years ago. Drove myself to the hospital having a heart attack, and after some tests and a couple of days in hospital, had a cardiac catheterization and two stents placed. Immediately felt 100% better. I look forward to seeing Don back on your channel, helping you with all of your wacky projects. He is an important part of the team. Get well soon, Don! ❤💪👍🫀

[@lucymorgan8859]

Kevin, please pass on our well wishes to Don, and let him know we love and appreciate his hard work, and humor on the show... Also, please let him know, I have had stents put in, and he will feel better after he starts getting back to some activity, and learns to relax about it. Stents are life saving minor surgery, and a wonderful alternative to bypass surgery... Get well, soon, Don... we're all in this together... in the words of Red Greene, keep your stick on the ice...😘😘😘

So glad Don got in when he did! My brother is a heart attack survivor and my elderly neighbor whom I help take care of is as well. She walked out to the ambulance when she had her heart attack. There's something about their generation that is incredibly hearty. Best wishes for his recovery!

Sweet Don, I love seeing him on your channel. The Mentor not labeled! He knows so much, I actually thought he was a retired Teacher ❤ He has that kind of personality that shines through when he's doing projects on the channel.
