How Much YouTube Pays Me To Play With BEARS $ / RIP New Boat (Ep16)

[@rnl9520]

This is the most interesting and hard core off grid channel on YT. We are watching someone figure it out as they go along in each episode. The risk level is off the charts. The property access is insane - regardless of season. The location is so majestic. He is so passionate about his mission. I'm hooked!

[@1033club]

Yep.

[@multipolarity7161]

Hey everyone give a THUMBS UP lets get this channel known !! So Deserving !! Very authentic decent good person!!

[@deannaiverson9389]

He deserves a million likes.wish I could hit that like button more.

Fast becoming one of my favorite KZbin channels. This and "Wild Homestead." You guys are the real deal, living the life that most people dream about. Love it!

Second this. Shawn and his boat is kind of like James with the tent fire.

😅

[@rfastkats924]

I can't believe how much resolve this man has. His car engine blew up, his Van was stolen, his boat motor was stolen and now his boat might of sunk. Not even mentioning the momentous work he did on the trail, unbelievable hard work. A boat dealership should sponsor him because he would definitely put a boat through its paces. A boat for him is a necessity not a hobby. Sending positive energy his way.

[@msfeistybabe]

Don't forget, the beaver dam wrecked his hard fought trail!!

[@emanuel290]

Big fella. Open up donations. KZbin channels and communities like this are built on living vicariously through you... Let us chip in for a new boat ya goose! 😅 $10 from me.. $10 from old mate... We got this big horse 😊

[@youmeandtheD]

Boats sink a lot more than you think, you are not alone on this. If you find the motor, it will for sure run again, yamaha 2 strokes are bomber. Please post a way we can send you money, of all the youtube people doing cabin stuff yours is the most authentic. I think your channel success will grow exponentially. Just make sure the camera is rolling when you do sketchy stuff.

[@meturns4666]

This is exactly why I enjoy your channel so much , sheer honesty to the fault. Shawn you may no understand the amount of b.s. out there , your a breath of literall fresh air , dont change a thing , I'm sticking with you whilst you post , your a bloody natural.. Please consider a membership for Thoe's who wish to support you , it's a very long hard journey ahead of you .. warmest regards from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺.. hell I'm sorry about the boat , waters power is unfathomable..

Appreciate the transparency and comments on revenue. I watched that part twice. Keep'em coming!

[@rougefox9233]

🐻 MARINE GRADE AIR HORNs scare bear off, I've seen it when shouting didn't work. Get yourself one & keep it on you with your bear spray & gun. I'd send you one if you get a P.O. Box..😉 Stay safe! 😅 You're doing a great job with your property & channel!! 👍🏻 P.S. Next time you dig post holes a PICK AXE would likely help you get through that hard clay. ⛏️ Hope you find your boat & some good people help you, as you so deserve it, and hope it all works out. You've really stayed in positive spirits in the face of major difficulty, keep loving life!! 🥰

[@Herpaderp10]

A lot of us aren't here because you're seeing bear or a moose. We love to watch the progress and your dedication to make a home in the wilderness by yourself by your own means. I've personally been watching since your first video was released and early on was worried you'd give up on youtube because your channel wasn't taking off and you felt like filming and editing (which honestly could improve... the owl noise and night sky breaks are a relic 😅) wasn't worth the effort. I'm very glad that never happened and your channel is earning you an income you can get by on. Don't feel embarrassed or anything because you're fortunate enough to make decent money from youtube. Honestly I think you're the first and only channel I've ever seen disclose how much money they're making from KZbin. Keep it up man.

[@kevink3461]

Sorry about the boat. Looking forward to seeing what happens. Hope you find the boat and can salvage it. You have a good sense of humor. Thanks for the video.

[@wearejungians]

Pretty sure the bear stole the boat mate. Time to go have a talk with him.

Couldn't have said it better.

[@jeffkoons7165]

Bummer about the boat man, best of luck with your search. Been waiting all day for this video!!!! Keep up with the great content. Do a kickstarter or some kind of fundraiser for a new boat.

[@waltermorris5786]

Your entire program generates high curiosity among your viewers...After all, you truly are in the wilderness, by yourself, forging out a new existence. I want to see where it ends ups.

[@wanderlore8875]

Wow, your being really transparent, I admire that. I always get excited to see your new videos. Lets get this channel ripping!

[@1kodyrobert0]

Brother Shawn you are an absolute legend, your ability to stay positive and not let tough times and circumstances get your spirit down is amazing. Wishing you nothing but the best. PLEASE LET “US” go fund you, or venmo or Patreon a new boat. So many friends family and viewers want to help you on this journey so we can keep watching you do what you love doing. Cheers brother stay safe & keep on keeping calm eh ❤

[@akomni-vr5gt]

Greeting's from Alaska! When ever you run anything across or on water you leave a floatbag colored orange attached to the gunnel or bow or stern with double the amount of rope for the depth of water your running in. Snowmachiners do it year round even when they are running rivers in the summer in case they sink their sleds. Hard lesson to learn and costly as well. You will persevere your mindset is good with strong will, take care!

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

I'll take that advice!

[@wallyaus]

Yes! Been waiting on this for what seems like ages, so excited to be witnessing your journey and be along on for the ride. Wishing you all the best with your journey!

[@jamesl2697]

Keep up the great work and positive attitude. My boss did a remote solar job on the community across the river from the community you speak of. The old timer was furious he didn’t have a rifle with him on his quad. Please be careful out there with no weapon… that’s some serious g bear country.

[@FromThePrairies]

Glad you got the rubber bullets. Hopefully that keeps bear out of your diet. Really, really, really sucks about the boat. Hope it magically resurfaced somewhere downstream in pristine condition. Great initial success with your channel. You are totally living the dream for the armchair warrior class. Let's all cross our fingers that some boat company wants to sponsor you.

[@joannehiiro1111]

As usual you handle yourself with class no matter what the situation. Thank you so much for sharing your experience out there with us in such a realistic way. I was hoping you would be able to spot the boat and easily pull it up. It would be great if one of the inflatable dingy companies would send you a boat. The game trail is gorgeous but I was glad to see you out of it since you didn’t have the rifle! I am already looking forward to your next video. It’s great that you are able to do this with KZbin. My son and I watch you every week.

[@sometea4741]

Yes a boat sponsor

[@matthubler7720]

I am soooo happy for you. You are doing what i wanted to do after highschool. I wanted to go to Alaska and make it! Instead went to college and worked my way up the corporate ladder and good money but sucked. Now semiretired owning my own construction business and still wish i would have done what you are doing dude. Hats off to you! Get a wilderness woman even if she is older and have her help you is my advice.

[@NickLM2008]

I've never given ons thought to donating to a KZbinr, but I would 100% give you a few dollars towards a new boat, or even an inflatable emergency canoe! Have been here since the start and your journey is such an inspiring ride. You have had so many obstacles already, and your transparency and honesty will bring me and many others back every week to cheer you on. Best wishes from Tasmania, Australia.

[@Southshorer]

PLEASE!! Make some merchandise! Your logo is killer and so is your channel, and I watch a lot of this shit. Helped build a cabin on an island to replace the one my grandfather built with my uncle and cousins. It's a lot of work and we had 5 guys. Well done man. Ps I'd like a logo sticker for my jeep, a hoodie, and a hat. Maybe some sweatpants.

[@warrenthornton3432]

Hi from Australia I enjoy watching your channel if I could give you some advice it would be to pile up a bit more soil around your piling s and pack it down so it forms a peak that way your holes won't absorb so much water when it rains most of it will run off we always did it with fence posts it seems to work ok any ways keep up the good work can't wait to see your next video.

[@TheAlienJones]

Dude you should live in that beaver dam it would be much cooler in the summer. That's what people do where I'm from. Hope you find the boat man. See ya next week.

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Nailed it haha

[@janosszabo98]

Those bears regularly visit your camp and even a warning shot is barely enough to get them to move along. I don't know what good shouting is while walking in the bush. You have a 50/50 chance to scare them away or just announce them that dinner is served. I know sneaking around isn't a better option either, but you are not taking it seriously. You should. You might get away with it forever, you might not.

[@mikecrawford7352]

How far is that big one meadow for setting up your starlink.? Might have to roll it on a dolly or wagon but would be an option. Glad you made it thru that safely. A boat would be paramount. Having a kayak would help you get down river or across river when you need to or in case of emergency situations. A cable crossing the river with a cable car or harness on a pulley would work for crossing as well.

[@Tootsie74]

Crap!!! 😮 Terrible news about your boat! Dude, I hate this for you! I figured by your title it was demolished in some way.... Ugh. Setbacks are no fun. But anyways, I'm sorry for your loss! Glad you weren't in it!

[@jeffroberts1834]

Hey Shawn, tough news about your boat. Man, you aren't kidding about the brush, that's some thick stuff. Good to hear about the income picking up. The subs are going up quite nicely too, if I remember right, it looks like you have gained around 6k subs since last week, that number should really start to pick up. Stay safe buddy, good luck.

[@roberthollenbeck7554]

Shawn, my heart sank with your boat, I feel so bad for you. The one thing I know is that you will find a way through this. Keep your chin up, we are all rotting for you to succeed.

So sorry for your problems and wish you the very best in recovering your boat. Love your videos ! Feel so sad for your problems thanks for sharing your videos and stay safe.

[@grahammaclean1997]

Haven't commented since now because I thought you might be a wanna be.. But , my friend, you are the real deal. I have spent many , many years in the bush. Love what you are doing. Wish I was there to help you. At least do "bear watch". Been run over by a black bear, charged by another that wanted to eat me and have been very close to a big polar bear. They are unpredictable as heck. Please be careful. This IS my favourite "You Tube ", channel. Hope to watch many, many more of your videos. Waiting till Thursday is an exercise in patience , you are that good. Please stay as you are. You are the "real deal". Thank you.

[@meturns4666]

Graham thx for sharing, happy to hear the "bears" didn't get the better of you , im from Australia, we've got a hell of alot of things that bite you too , nature has a way of hypnotizing you into a secure state of mind , that's when the bustards will bite you , cheers mate keep living long from Melbourne Australia..

[@charlesstuart1119]

❤you are so right!❤

[@dennis56]

What happens in a river current to a boat being sunk in a manner like yours was is.... if the boat has an anchor that's tied to the boat when the boat flips under water the anchor falls out and grabs the bottom. The boat is held down by the current and usually the boat will spin on the end of the anchor rope until the rope frays and breaks. After the anchor rope breaks the floatation in the boat will surface it, and the outfit will go downstream, half submerged with just parts of the boat showing. My son and I saved a man and his outfit on the Mississippi River years ago. He made a mistake in the current and he ended up losing his outfit and almost his life. After retrieving him and his cooler from the river we could watch his boat spinning on his anchor rope using our depth finder locator. He was very lucky , we saved his outfit ,once it surfaced and his life that day.

[@kenleckie2359]

I looked up lowe boats and Thay have flotation built in the hull and meet coast guard requirements so your boat has probably floated down river . you could also build a plywood skiff and Orr's as I saw the material in this video .and watch them 🐻 enjoying the video s keep em coming from Abbotsford BC

[@mvrv7069]

Your boat is likely closer to your property than you think as they tend to hang up on underwater snags. If you find it there may be so much water pressure on it that you won't be able to pull it out. But you never know. Also if you find it, be extremely careful that you don't get pulled underwater and pinned, or tangled up in the boat rope. It will be much safer if you have some help and equipment. I've seen boats try to pull a sunken boat out from a snag, and unable to get it to budge!

[@robertfandel9442]

Air bags will pull up a lot

[@Suki_the_half_blue]

That stuffed Bear is instantly recognizable. my hometown❤

[@dfoltz268]

Really hate to hear about the boat but glad you werent in it after it sunk and went down stream as thats the most important take away. Setbacks suck especially one like this but you still have your health and thats the main thing! As you keep doing this the time/effort needed to produce a video will be reduced and your income in theory should go up so thats always a plus as well. Love what your doing and hope this leap makes you happier and healthier!

[@Jesse-xv7ob]

Another great video Shawn! Glad to hear you’re getting connected and finally getting power out there! I sent you a couple emails about editing for you if you get a chance :) Can’t wait for next Thursday!

[@bwcok7947]

That is terrible about your boat. Hope you can find it. Maybe elevation for the starlink is the answer. But the higher you get off the ground the more the risk to you. You will have to search from the last place you saw your boat then downstream. Hope the water is clear enough to see fairly deep. Time for a live replace my boat fund drive. $10,000 goal.

[@AlAndValOffGrid]

Just popped up to Stittsville today to take the wife to her sister's for a weekend visit. Thought about your channel as I drove up 416 through some of the forested areas. While it's too late to help now, my Amish friends use an old wooden handled hole auger that cuts through hard clay fairly easily. I used it to dig 5 foot deep holed through soil, sand, then hard clay. The only thing that slows it down is rocky or gravel filled soils. If you've got to do it by hand, the Amish have a tool for it.

[@mc9551]

Sorry about the boat, if you find it maybe with a come along & a cable hooked to a tree you can get it out. We don't need to know what you are making off of you tube. Be safe & keep the videos coming.
