[@martyevans8162]

I respect that everyone is entitled to their choice of a thumbs up or down in the review of each episode but I am always perplexed as to how any episode on either of Shawn’s channels gets a thumbs down. Shawn has never deviated from the focus or purpose in any episode of what his channel is about or his overall mission. So one can always anticipate the nature of each forthcoming episode. Each episode is also consistently without click bait, drama, personal attacks, political positions or many other things that are detractors for most of his viewers. What he does, the work ethic, strength & organizational skills always present in how he does things are reflected in each episode. And then of course, Cali, a star in her own right, adds great delight to each episode.......so, I expect that my rating will forever be in the thumbs up position!!!! This was another much enjoyed episode on the progression towards the continued building of your off grid wilderness homestead!! You & yours stay safe.

[@pinky2245]

Very well put, I couldn't agree more! I suspect the "thumbs down" people are just miserable in general and aren't happy unless they are bashing others, or they're just plain envious!

[@judithburke1539]

What the nay-sayers don't seem to understand is that any response adds to the algorithm for the channel. Take comfort in knowing that a thumbs down is really a benefit, in spite of the negative intent. Take care.😊

One of the best! For those of us who enjoy the "build" portions of your life's adventure, this was almost a pleasant overdose! With perfect amounts of Cali, cooking and overhead terrain shots, this episode exceeds all expectations. Its great to see the progress. My wife walks by occasionally and just shakes her head. She does not understand the attraction of a man building, from scratch, using basically his hands, a wilderness sanctuary. I think its great and am enjoying it from exactly the place most people would love to get away from. Chicago. Keep up the great work and thanks, as always, for the great videos.

Having to leave the previous location and now having the chance "to do it right" seems to really be turning out into a blessing. Looking forward to not only see the cabin but the whole homestead to take form. I have no doubt the whole set-up will be more efficient but also be more future proof.
