The love and companionship of a "good dog" is a salve on the spirit of man, and a balm for even the most troubled soul. The unselfish love they give, and sheer joy they take from life should be a lesson for us all. Keep it as simple as possible, and greet each day as a new adventure. Great video, Shawn, in a long list of great videos. Thank you.

This beautiful dog has a rich, full existence by being allowed the freedom to be one with her environment. I’ve never seen such integration and harmony like this before. Kudos to her human companion for allowing and encouraging this. This entire video was a spectacular blend of visuals and music. Thank you, Shawn.

Your skill at editing, composition of shot, pace and rhythm was the best I've seen. Quite bold, yet with humility. Nature, at a point of change, is a wonderful thing. Thank you for portraying it with such artistic integrity; and thank you for giving Cali such opportunity, such interaction and so much play, have fun...enjoy life. Respects to you Sir! I gain so much from this channel as hope in a big city ... peace and love to you and yours; and the rest of our species if they could learn the way too.

This makes me laugh. I love these videos as much as the next person but am under no illusions about how we ‘were meant to live’. These properties were abandoned back in the day because they were not viable without loads of outside input. It’s the way it was meant to be as long as you have multiple cameras and drones and an editing rig and high speed internet access (and a revenue stream from youtube wouldn’t hurt). I love the demonstration of skills and his commitment to trying to live as sustainably as possible but it is a fantasy modern people indulge in that such a lifestyle is achievable without the huge safety net of a functioning society a stones throw away. Dick Proeneke (Of ‘Alone in the wilderness’ fame) lived this way much more thoroughly but still absolutely relied on regular delivery of supplies from ‘civilization’ to survive. I enjoy the wilderness, love canoeing and camping but know very well that any extended time away from real contact with other people increases the odds of bad things happening. Dying from a toothache or an improperly cleaned cut is not my idea of a good time.

All I meant is thinking of how things use to be back years ago. My great great grampa lived in the hills of Missouri living off the land and free, no one around except his family. How nice it would be to have peace and quiet again. I love his videos and I am not criticizing one thing about it. You misunderstood the point of my comment. Think how it was 150 years ago, how people were nice to each other, how meals were cooked at home, how family sat down and ate together and worked together and how family was the most important thing in their lives. Church every Sunday. Things were different and his videos make me think about that.

Hi Shawn, This is the first time I leave a comment. I am Kathy, an artist that lives in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. I started watching your videos a while back. I noticed that I really enjoy watching you quietly work alone on whatever your task is for that moment. The quiet of the forest around you is so peaceful and your calm focus is soothing to me. I have no interest in building a log cabin (I'm 66) but I find the process interesting and I can relate to working on something over a long period of time, slowly bringing it to completion and the creative process of discovery and trial and error involved. Also, I appreciate your video skills and how they have grown to give a deeper richer view of the nature around you. This last video was beautiful, cinematic even. AND I love your dog! I also had a golden many years ago and she looked and acted exactly like Kali, she was so smart, playful, loving and spoiled! I love my life in Amsterdam but I miss Nature, and through your lens, I feel a connection to it the power, the beauty, and the ever-changing cycles. THANK YOU! I look forward to watching the seasons change and your progress. ALSO, I appreciate you keeping it 'real', your thoughts about life are balanced and wise. All the best to you! Good Luck! and Thank you! - Kathy

Beyond the beautiful photography in this video, the problem solving and creativity of the entire channel speaks of the practice of Sloyd. I learned of Sloyd many years ago from a cabinet making professor at a technical college that I was doing a project for. Sloyd is the belief that craftsmanship with hand tools does two things; it teaches young men a trade but more importantly it builds character. Shawn, what you are doing is Sloyd for adults as it fulfills your vision for your life. Growth occurs throughout life.

The beauty that is Canada is stunning and surreal. I live in Oregon and have always felt we Oregonians are especially blessed with God’s bounty but I must admit I’m slack-jawed at the vistas, forests and flowing rivers that comprise your homeland. While this video is especially compelling, I think its real gift lies in the love song you’ve created to Cali. What a deeply special relationship the two of you have. Her love for you is palpable and radiates across the screen, as does her happiness and contentment with her life. Of all the excellent reasons to watch your videos, being able to share in your bond with Cali is one of the very best. Thank you for that gift.

Shawn, I love going through the seasons with you at "our" cabin. When I watched your very first episode, I was just in the middle of my paternal leave from work. As work at the cabin progresses and more and more episodes are put together, my girl is slowly growing up. It feels a bit like your project is ours and you have contributed greatly to my well-being. I want to thank you for providing those islands of calmness and relaxation for me. More than once have I fallen asleep with the sounds of the wind blowing through the trees at your property and the wood crackling in the stove. Thanks for the whole cabin experience.

I certainly hope others enjoys watching as much as I. I wish my Molly could run along the waters edge with your Cali. For a young dog, she does not have much fun in life, I hate to admit. Sometimes she sits up on the bed and watches Cali run after her beloved orange throw-toy and chasing birds and the creatures of the woods.

Her name was Lorelei's Golden Sheen and she was also a love that wanted to play fetch, swim whenever she could and just be nearby all the time. Cali actually looks like Sheen' s son, Mighty Mo of Pinebrook, that was my dog. I miss them still. I'm 75 now.

Sitting here on a Sunday afternoon with my mother, just watching video after video, all just from your channel! This is one of the best KZbin channels I have ever come across. So relaxing, calming, adventurous, therapeutic and beautiful! The music the editing, it's spectacular to say the least. Thank you! I needed to see this, especially coming from over crowded, stuffy Southern California. And the weather is still Summer like here and our leaves still have not changed. You are truly talented and your channel blesses others more than you know! So peaceful. Looking forward to seeing more amazing videos from you and Cali, I hope I spelled her name right, she is beautiful! GOD bless!

Shawn James, a name that is like a silent song that refreshes....your videos are still brillant. Callie is the happiest still. Your cabin is stunning and I am binge watching since the last phone I had burned up. I am still working to finish the rug I hoped to have done by now for your cabin. Had to stop due to illness that caused a lot of frustration. I have such respect for all you build. It is so inspirational to watch and live vicariously through your videos. Thank you for taking all you do very seriously and making so many beautiful things. Carry on Shawn James and Bravo for a life well lived!!!

Yet another great video! Your editing skills are growing by leaps and bounds. You very skillfully weave together music and video matching the nuance of sound and sight so beautifully. It is not an easy task. I’ve seen many people fail. I thought to myself at the beginning of this video, Shawn really is using music in a wise, reserved and appropriate way. Then you end the video with all those beautifully edited nature shots that are perfectly matched with soaring symphonic music. I’m envious man. Great work Shawn! Where you live is beautiful and the way you show it off does it total justice! That should make you very, very proud! What you do touches people in a unique way and your gift continues to blossom.

I agree, I have been watching you for about a year and this video in particular made me appreciate the work you do on editing. The music is great and fits in perfectly with the scenery. Most of all I love Callie (sp?). Great job and keep up the good work.

@@leonardvosburgh8006 - I think I saw her (his?) name spelled "Cali" (one "L") somewhere but I'm not sure of that. I agree with everything you and Richard said here. I'm loving these videos but this one especially was greatly improved.

Give it up rock! Shawn's gonna win!!! The awesomeness of creation! Order, beauty, power, love! Our creator made these things this way for our enjoyment, a place that provides all that we could ever need. Your video shows how much God loves his creation-us-by giving us such a variety of wonders! This is the earth He wanted for man to live on-not the sad state of affairs we have now! Man can sure mess things up, but He will put it straight soon. Great video Shawn! A "boy" and his dog was what came to my mind when you and Callie were rock jumpin'. She has such a great personality. Thanks!
