With everything that has been going on in my life, i look forward to be able to zone out during these moments while watching the vids. I started to do Video Blogs on my channel while i start to do counseling and get proper help.

Hats off to you mate, your videos are truly precious and beautiful. And your dog is to die for. Have never in my life seen such a beautiful and happy loved dog. Your skills in construction are a true blessing, and you have not wasted them. So you deserve the absolute best in life. Loads of love David and family 👍🙏👌

Your videos are the first thing I run to to calm me! I have a lot of sleepless night because of the pain and I find myself dozing off because I'm so relaxed from your videos first off you're living my dream and even though I'm sleeping I can still hear the things you're doing in your video and I find it very soothing. And your dog is just super cute. I wanted to say thank you for your videos you have saved my sanity and helped me many sleepless nights!🌹❤

After serving as a Paramedic in Nova Scotia for nearly 3 decades, I was recently diagnosed with PTSD and now off work to heal and recover. Your channel has been therapeutic since I started watching last year. I selfishly wish you had a daily episode. I am living my dream through you vicariously. I worked in Parry Sound yrs ago and used to travel to Huntsville, Bracebridge and around Lake Rosseau, so I am familiar with the beautiful country there. Please keep up the great adventure. Can you put up a link to that solar pack we see you toting around? I am looking for something similar. Thanks. Cheers!

Shawn, I got so tickled on your last couple of videos! First, the one where you whistled at your wife! What a sweetheart thing to do to your wife. Second, you wife telling Cali, “Momma don’t throw all that far,” as she let it rip throwing Cali’s fetch toy (to Cali’s glee) like a miles distance in the wood effortlessly! I thought, ‘Well what’s momma’s throw like on a bad day then!” Surprised and laugh out loud 😲🤗 You have a sweet wife.
