Hi Shawn, Hi Cali. I never get out now. I'm older, and nobody ever comes by. I used to be much like you, and I had a husband that was born in the woods. Thank you for all your videos, every one. It's a pleasure to see them. Good job!

[@Eleivana777]

Watching you and your videos is like some kind of Zen. Im a 64 yr old gramma. I barely leave my house in town due to sudden health issues. My years were eaten up taking care of 5 kids without a partner. Many hard decades as an RN taking care of others. But I had started a notebook when I was 17 and I had dreams. I designed a log cabin and gardens and buildings for my livestock. I had lists of equipment and tools. I cut out pictures of country interiors that I liked and put them in my notebook to gaze upon and hope. I read the Last Whole Earth catalog cover to cover and the Foxfire series and many many other "live off the Land" books. That was my dream. Alas life happened and those dreams stayed dreams. I work on not feeling sad about it. Maybe next life if there is one. But I watch your videos and live just a little vicariously through them. And they bring me peace. Thank You.

[@joefrank7159]

Yes. Please keep the videos coming. And Cali is a rock star!. She is beautiful. Also the place is a dream of peace and quiet. Thank you.

@Sharon61 Sharon I think you are so right. I have always wondered about these negative people. They like that control the button gives them as you say. I think they want to control us and make our lives as miserable as theirs. And yes, I think they are very jealous of other's hard work. Some I think don't even care for the subject they are viewing but do it for the mere spite and control. It must float their boat. I agree with you that they should grow up and live life. And of course praise people, praise their family, and praise their God. Cheers Sharon !

I was raised in the Mojave Desert in California without water and a bathroom. Thankful we did have power but 50 years later could live without power. But remember doing laundry with a wringer washer, baths in a wheel barrow and keeper of the out house. Great memories. I so enjoy your videos and my husband and I binge watch them. I live in Las Vegas for the last 40 years so I envy your peace. I remember that the most, peace and quiet. I just discovered my Great Great Grandmother was born in Ontario Canada! So now I have a new adventure.

So cool that you showed your trip into town with Cali! Sort of rounds out the adventures of Shawn and family-including the 4-legged members, lol! Thanks!

[@geo.miller7808]

I am down in the USA, northeastern Illinois and not at all likely to be building anything as I have none of those skills, nor hunting or fishing but I do enjoy watching your videos, on both channels. Too bad I got interested late in life (76) because from a health stand point really too old to be doing much of anything EXCEPT, hopefully, some more car (Jeep) camping. I did a little in 2016 and hope to do some more this summer. However, I have learned a number of things indirectly from you such as using a draw knife to remove bark from timber and the reason why, how logs fit together to build your cabin, and your cooking on your cabin stove. I AM curious as to how you managed to train your dog Calli. She seems pretty well trained, although I have not seen any video where she was doing any retrieving of bird game, especially in water. Found out my older brother has been watching your videos as well and I might have found a camp mate in him. He and his wife have been boating for the last 40 years, last 10 on a 40’ trawler, but that has reached a zenith so maybe camping with me is an alternative. I WOULD like to see a little more detail on how you do things, and less time spent on a repetitive thing such as chipping wood out of a joint or draw knifing a piece of wood for something not explained. Also on your hunting expeditions, under what circumstances do you use a bow, a rifle. Do you use traps of any kind? Do you tan any hides of big animals such as deer? What sort of trail food do you take along on your scout trips? All for now. Geo.

Have loved every video I have seen, Shawn. Cannot help but admire your dogged working around and in the cabin. I'm interested in how you plan things - personally I have to list everything, start at the top and work down. You seem to have it all in your head! Canada is so similar but so very different to Australia. I'm an 80 year old woman, city bound and living alone. Your videos bring all the dreams of my younger self to life, though I really wanted to build a mud brick cabin. You are so very lucky to have a true partner to share your dreams with, Shawn. I'll keep watching and "liking"for as long as you keep filming, and thank you sincerely for the pleasure you give us all.

Honestly..it is all in the preparation for the outing. You need the gear and there is great gear available. And you need to be smart...it takes huge amounts of energy to hike/snowshoe through some of the snow but sweating is the enemy...address it with proper wicking clothes and wool or use other techniques such as slowing down at times. And if needed...a pack with dry clothes that you can change into...even super quickly. You have to keep the core of the body warm.

I'm a younger man, and so inherently naive, but I think the best way for someone in my situation is to ask questions regardless how dumb we feel. That said, does this popping of the logs in your cabin affect the structural integrity? My wife and I enjoy your videos quite a bit and realized we're a quite inexperienced in this type of lifestyle and thus the reality you have to face sometimes. Thank you for your great content!

I prefer the silent videos where you are busy working wood but once a while these videos of you going to town are welcome

Hey Shawn, I enjoy most all your videos. This channel is perfect for this type of content, and your other serves its purpose as well. You allow me to live a life I otherwise would not be able to be a part of. Thank you sir!
