OFF GRID Cabin Update | Ice Fishing

[@terrydodsworth8564]

You are an inspiration to young women everywhere. Determination, hard work, and a little help from your loving family - a great recipe for success!

[@kevin34ct]

What do you expect from a child of Shawn James. Nice to see the place coming along nicely.

[@emilyaisling]

Thank you so much!

[@richardburguillos3118]

Very well said..

[@stoicepictetus833]

Well said that man.

[@20x20Ghost]

I agree

[@scottredmond7998]

Pretty soon you’re going to need your own Cali to keep you company 🐕

[@lacarlotta6290]

OMG, the birds perching and feeding from your hand; so lovely! You must be such a source of pride for your mom and dad……

[@cryptomnesiac]

Great to see your father teaching you so many important skills to get by in life. A lot of people aren't lucky enough to have that. Years from now these will be great memories.

[@TrixieM712]

Your very blessed to have a dad to share his knowledge with you. My dad was the same and it make for a person who can do everything with confidence.

[@charmed2u2]

Wow...I love how the little Chickadee birds eat out of your hand. Looks like you have your own piece of paradise. You are very lucky.

[@Bruce.94538]

It is cool your dad helps out and shows you techniques and spends “grown up” time with you. Cherish these times. I wish I had more grown up time with my dad and mom. I wish I knew more about their childhoods and their parents growing up from their perspectives.

[@robertjames-life4768]

You’re videos a so serene and you seem so much more comfortable being in front of the camera. For us older folks you really are a breath of fresh air, wish more young people could learn from you!

[@Rob89139]

It is said that anyone who can coax a wild bird to feed from the hand has found balance between vulnerability and strength and the wild bird recognizes this attribute. Congrats Emily, people spend a lifetime hoping to achieve balance - you're already there

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Indeed,agreed...one who walks quietly on the Earth!! 🤙🧙‍♂️👍!

[@2224jrock]

How cool is Emily? Girl got birds eating out of her hand, she's constructing walls in her cabin, ice fishes, and she cooks up some of the most amazing looking meals. I mean she's just legit so cool...literally(haha) Another great video Miss Aisling

[@danielwatters711]

Those birds are so beautiful ... their belly feathers are such a sublime colour ... I never could get one to land on the hand in summer ...

[@emilyaisling]

Thank you! :)

[@martflynn5021]

You and your dad make me wish that the uk had the same sort of wilderness maybe I should move to Canada and buy a cabin all the best to you both and thanks for the content you and your dad give us. Ask your dad to give us all an update on the old cabin please.

[@enzopalumbo2164]

The old cabin was sold. There was a video on that just around when he was working on the workshop I believe.

[@martflynn5021]

Thanks for the reply but I don't remember that one the last I heard was that it was unsafe for his daughter's to go there I will take a look back on his channels to see if I missed it. It's a great shame that that guy would spoil it for Sean and his family and us for that matter the poor man having to start from the beginning after all that work tell ya what he is a better man than me I would be in jail. Well done Sean I am younger than you and I couldn't do the work you do. I can't wait for you to finish the cabin

[@qckslvrslash]

@@martflynn5021 Sean did do a video on the final day at the cabin and the sale of it. I am not sure if you have watched the new build but it really shows what he learned from the first. Quite like both his and Emily's build similar idea of independance but different takes.

[@enzopalumbo2164]

@@martflynn5021 He did a video when sold it and did a final tour of the homestead.

[@squidgypants722]

Wow. Your cabin is coming along very well. Your Dad is an excellent teacher in woodwork and fishing. Hopefully one day I will get to visit Kingston Ontario to visit the place my Dad lived before moving to England. Stay safe Regards Paul. 👍

[@johndebolt5853]

Hi Emily, thanks for the great video as always. Mom and Dad must be very proud of you and your sister. Great job on your cabin. Be well and safe.

[@theodorehowe2262]

Awesome video of your new home build and your family being together ice fishing. Your very lucky to have these skills being taught by your parents. Keep smiling and God bless

[@cheekysaver]

Your Dad must be so proud of you! What a legacy to see you building your own cabin in your own way! It is looking beautiful!

[@jbmac4889]

I just happened across this video. I lost my father almost 5 years ago this month. Watching you and your dad together reminded me of when dad and I built a house together. Thank you for the memories. God bless you all. :)

[@jamescostello6529]

Very nice visit with us and your folks. Thank you for wearing safety glasses. Your Dad go that lesson not too long ago. God only gives us two eyes and we have to take care of them. Looking forward to your next video!

[@medtech1a]

A family indeed. Love your cabin build with all the amenities of a home off grid. A huge change for sure. The ice fishing is always a success whenever you’re able to catch them. Keep up the great work.

[@murrayandru7527]

Ms. Emily I can think of no other Sport that a Family can Share in many ways ... That's Fish'n Kudos , the bonus is Supper time, eat em up and go get more ! Spring is almost here, summer around the corner . Keep busy planning and executing . Kudos. Take Care .

[@malelpn37]

Enjoy these times with your dad, I remember every single time my father took me fishing. I am your dad‘s age now and my father is 85 he doesn’t remember most of those days he remembers a lot of things from his childhood but not much that is recent. So treasure every one of them because they will be with you when you do the same with your children one day and make their memories for them. Your cabin is coming along beautifully you are doing an incredible job!

[@thomasspainhour1112]

Great family, great initiative, beautiful surroundings and love of nature. Blessings NC USA 🇺🇸

[@peterrimmer567]

Great to see Dad and Daughter work together, great video...

[@cook4015]

Emily your willingness to learn a trade and do things on your own is a achievement you should be proud of!!! Your parents should be very proud especially your father. Not to many young ladies like yourself are willing to do what you're doing. You're currently making a lifetime of memories with your parents cherish the memories. The cabin is coming along great and you guys have done a fantastic job. Good work Emily!!!

[@arthurxxxxxxx6664]

Emily I just commented on your father's 'My Self Reliance' site asking him to make his 2M subscribers aware of your site by telling them about it on one of his videos. He did so on his comment section, but if his viewers don't bother to read the comments, they aren't likely to know of your site. It cost viewers nothing to subscribe to your site and in doing so they would be helping you continue producing your enjoyable, hi-production value videos. It is a win-win situation.

[@leedutra5767]

So very nice to have a child with like interests as her parent. Happy memories for both. Wonderful video!

[@denisemeredith2436]

Your cabin is really coming together now, I am looking forward to the next instalment. The ice fishing looked like fun too. Your dad showed a little bit in his video today. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@MowenMcGuire]

Solar, and a small wind turbine, take how many sun days you have per year, and wind days over 14 KPH, then calculate the percentage. Biggest mistake when setting up renewable energy is not adding the wind factor. Must have both.

[@stevenkukene9970]

I’m a big fan of your Dad’s channel and am delighted to have found you here. It’s apparent you are a chip off the old block. Your Folks must be very proud of you. Now I’m psyched to follow your adventures too. Thanks for sharing.

[@johntatum8088]

Wow, Fish and Chips...looks delicious. Maybe your Mom is camera shy. Nice to see your Dad helping you with the fishing...nice to see your off grid cabin coming together. I am a Shawn and Cali fan.

[@young-soonkim6730]

Good Friday Emily, Shawn, Mrs., and Cali! Ice fishing looks really fun activity. 👍🏞🏡🎣

[@bellamylittlegirl1029]

This was an awesome video. The little bird landing in your hand was amazing. Your cabin is coming together so nicely. So happy for you and your an inspiration to many~😊

[@greywolfwalking6359]

I knew that you "walked quietly "..on the land!! I just knew it...the birds coming to you is confirmation! A grand lady, to be sure! Good job on the cabin! It is sooooo going to be a wonderful place as you go! Thanks for sharing 👍! 👍🛠🪛🧙‍♂️🪛🛠👍!

[@larrycarroll7371]

A wonderful moment of peace in a peace-less world. Thank you.

[@RahnekGaming]

Watching these videos (and your dad's as well) make me so nostalgic for spending time with my grandfather at the cottage in Muskoka and helping him with little projects. While he was an engineer by trade he couldn't hammer a nail straight into a piece of wood lol. I'm really very envious that you have your own space that you can do what you like with. I even chose to go to college in Barrie out of all places to stay closer to the place that gave me so many great memories. Now I'm stuck in a city I hate and I get to live vicariously through you (and again, your dad). Thank you for all the content!

[@RichG...]

Wonderful family fishing outing. Oh how I miss those days so very much all due to the unfortunate fact that I have to spend much of my time in a wheelchair. I do get some satisfaction and enjoyment living vicariously through others by watching there outdoor vlogs. Thank you Ms Emily and family for taking me/us along. It is so nice to see you and you fam enjoying each others company while having a fun day on the hard water. Great job on your perch catch, clean and cook.

[@timothylynch9154]

A very unique family happy to see your father's legacy and talent passed on have a great life

[@TheTruthlady]

Shawn wins the father of the year award, for sure! Such a blessing to your family! 😊

[@irenemathieson4229]

I absolutely loved watching those sweet birds eating out of your hand! Thanks for this interesting video. Your cabin looks lovely.

[@steveduval3732]

I use to subscribe to your dads channel. Found yours and subscribed. Also re subscribed to you dads. I remember when he started building the first cabin and i would see your mom and you on it briefly. You look so much like your mom. Your quite the little lady. Keep on keeping on from Emida, Idaho.

[@frankscherping4432]

Emily, your Dad is teaching you very well. Being like be the wolf, if one keeps their eyes & ears open, & their mouths closed, one can learn alot.. These are the words of wisdom that my mother instilled in me as my cub scout leader so many years ago. Thank You Mom! You are in doing absolutely great Emily & I really enjoy your videos.

[@jonataslopes4362]

hi, hey i've been watching your dad's videos since he built the first cabin. I watched the whole process and I liked it a lot, you have a fantastic family. I also have a dog just like yours, his name is dollar, and now you are also recording videos I'm really enjoying it too. tell your father that I wish I had a father like him, apparently a dedicated and humble man he has my respect and admiration. If I ever go to the United States I want to visit I want to visit your cabin. My name is Jonatas Lopes and I'm from Brazil. A big hug..

[@sharonkeller7397]

It is so nice seeing you learn so much from your Father. He is a great teacher. I'm sure he is happy you are interested in outdoor activities and especially building your own home as well as Ice fishing. I like seeing all of your progress. I grew up without a Dad and it's times like this I wish I had one. Your tiny house is coming alive slowly but surely. See you soon. I'm Sharon waving from sunny California :)

That is a really cool trick with the birds, not many people can do that! You are special!

I loved the scenes of the fox sleeping up on the branch and the birds landing on ur hand and taking a sunflower seed. Was magical. Imma try that here lol.

Not a fox it was a Pine Marten. Protected animal. Like a big weasel. They eat squirrels and birds. Beautiful animals.

What a lovely way to spend quality time as a family. I hope once your cabin Is finished your return the favour and help your dad out LOL The fish and fries LOOKED delicious.

Perch is a wonderful fish dinner. We used to bring stringers home and put them on the grill wrapped in butter and garlic and fried potatoes, oh man oh man. My mouth is watering just watching this lol.

[@lieuwina]

I enjoyed the ice fishing as I have never seen that before or experienced anything like that. What a lovely family time together. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a lovely day.

Just got thru watching your dad's channel. See your making awesome progress on your homestead with Shawn's help the memories will live forever SEE your one not afraid to do anything THE more beautiful chip off your dad's shoulders.. Here in Michigan those are considered throw backs for perch usually just before dawn and just before nite fall the bigger perch appear. God bless be safe stay warm and healthy. Jim

Awesome Job. I hope my daughter will grow up to be like you!

Really enjoy your videos, I was watching your dad's and that is how I found you. Keep up the good work you are a good role model for other young ladies your age, I have grandchildren that could use a lesson from you.

[@KrisH-kp9vx]

When your dad was talking about smelt... He is right! We would catch bucket loads on the Sandy or Clackamas rivers in Oregon and spend all night with scissors in our hands cleaning them when I was a kid.

[@leighmitcler3320]

I could almost smell the fish cooking. My father always caught perch on Lake Erie in Ohio so L grew up eating a lot of perch. Beautiful home you're building to live off grid w/your parents nearby. One day it may become a safe haven as our world gets crazier by the day. Best of luck on your continued journey.

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

It never fails Emily, when you or your family cook I’m hungry! It doesn’t matter if I just ate your meals always look super!

[@tedsmyth1759]

The small fish remind me of the time back in the 50's when my wife and I were in Calif. and the manager of the place where we lived in San Diego took us fishing. The fish were about as small or smaller than those . He cooked them up with the heads and all. you talk about fish and chips. LOL Had green tomatoes too. Good to see your family enjoying life to it's fullest. Ted in Cedar Rapids , Iowa.

[@buddybunyon3136]

Once again the food looked great, fresh fish indeed. Loved the birds eating from your hand.

[@joyceb5864]

Looking at the fish & chips made my mouth water!! You could easily do a cooking video showing how you fillet the fish, what breading & spices you used, etc. You are a very talented young lady with many skills others your age could only dream of having!! Love your videos,

I have said it before - you remind me of my wife when she was young like you - she could do carpentry, automotive, painting, yard work - all because her dad taught her those skills! Both of you ladies are fortunate to have fathers who did not consider you to be a helpless female, but instead a helper worthy of teaching. Whoever the guy is who courts and marries you, will be one heck of a lucky guy!

Well done Emily spectacular scenery with nature ice fishing with family and cabin finishing touches this video has it all you are a special young lady with many talents

[@joebacarella2829]

Just awesome, you are being taught life lessons here, my father taught me how to filet fish. I scrapped a lot of small perch learning, I can now filet any fish, from perch to salmon, you just follow that backbone all the way to the tail, can`t go wrong. That is fish tacos at there best, so nice to see the whole family enjoying yourselves., keep up the good work, i`ll keep following from Michigan, your filet skills are very good, when your father is all done, you will be the jack of all trades, just keep it a secret from your boyfriend, tee hee, I am partial to your father, you are learning from a master, my dad had a screwdriver and hammer, and wasn`t very good with either, I learned as I went, great to see the family having fun, all the best to you and your family.
