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 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!

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.

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.

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!

Shawn, the scenery portion of this video was absolutely beautiful! It took me away from my desk at work and let me escape for 10 minutes, thanks! Paul

I love that you love your dog, that you transplanted a tree...in the forrest, the stunning visuals of God's perfect creation and the very moving music, that goes so perfectly with it all.

You have not only bushcraft habilities, you have a very high aesthetic sense.

Aventura Vivac Agreed! His aesthetic sense is shows in his choice of outerwear. Looks like Canada's winter olympic team red plaid if I'm not mistaken ? 👍🏽👍🏽🇨🇦

I thought that your video of the Perfect Week of the Year was the best that I had ever watched on KZbin, but the last segment with Callie and the use of the slow motion and music was simply superb. Thank you so much.
