Food is so expensive now that it actually makes sense to build the infrastructure we need to raise animals for protein in addition to the wild game I harvest. The cost of building raised beds, chicken coops, barns and pasture fencing will pay off in my lifetime and future generations will continue to benefit from my efforts.
Thanks for Watching!
My mission on this channel is to help YOU and your family live your dream life so you can become more self reliant, happy, fulfilled and prepared for challenging times.
You can expect to hear more about the way I live, how I got into massive debt, how I got out of it, what drove me to live the outdoor lifestyle and how I'm more prepared than ever to weather the storms of 2024 and beyond. I answer your questions, I interview people who are living unconventional lives, I try to inspire and motivate you to pursue the life of your dreams, I give you the tips I used to live my dream life and I reflect on my own life - past, present and future.

Shawn I throw my vote in with the no new channel folks. Have Shawn James include your homesteading and keep My Self Reliance your wilderness adventures plus your infrastructure building, minimum talking and the sounds of nature and your hand saw. IMHO you have balanced these two channels well and provided overlap where necessary. We look forward to the hen house tour.

I think 1 channel is great. My husband and I enjoy your channel, we live on a quarter section of land and are retired. We have raised cattle, horses and chickens. We now just have horses. We built our own house and are totally on the grid, sadly. We hunt and raise our own veggies and plan to put in a fruit garden/orchard. My husband had been a wildland firefighter for 40+ years so developing our own place has been put on hold all those years as fire took him away most summers coast to coast. We are learning from you, and have been making plans to attempt to do what you are doing...it's just a little tough with my 59 and his 63 year old bodies...so we have to do this work a little differently than you. Huge Kudos to you and your wife for doing what you do

I bought 34 acres in the DeadWood/Concow foothills. sunk a well and built a covered concrete parking area for my truck, tractor, 5th wheel. base of operations.

Shawn, I think growing duck weed in a pond and drying for winter is the answer (just popped in my head while listening to you). “One study suggests that duckweed may be best fed dried and I can envision drying stations where I just scoop duckweed out of the pond and toss it on a table in our hot summer sun. give your chickens a fish now and then as an even higher boost of protein.”

Hi Shawn .... We love all your videos and watch them from our farm here in New Zealand. We prefer ,not that it is up to us to have just one channel , we find it easier to just click on one rather than a couple at a time. We have Red Devon cows who have their own calves which stay with and on mum for 8 to 9 months. We have chickens which get fed Possum meat that gets minced up with the kidney and liver ... they go mental for the protein. The chickens then head out onto the farm and go wherever they want to .... We also made a maggot bucket for our chickens and again they go mental for those as well. Our sons make clothing (natural bark tan) from the hides , hats etc so nothing goes to waste. Our cows go into green salad bowl pasture where we have herbs for them and many many trees for shade and shelter. We are very fortunate to have our own meat so we are so grateful. Chicken feed here a 25kg bag of organic pellets NZ 64.00 !!!!!!! Keep up the amazing videos , we do so love to think were sitting in a cabin eating a toasted sandwich you've made from the sour dough bread hahahaha

You could try keeping one channel going because you're already using your time, money, and resources for this new endeavor. Simply labeling the topics would allow folks to watch those they were interested in and maybe explore new content that they had not considered before. You could post on separate days if you wanted to follow the stats better. I know I would be interested in some aspects of care, breeding, housing etc , but not butchering and preserving. Others , though, would benefit from that, as well as , food preparation. That would keep the option open to decide on whether the second channel would be better and what direction you wanted to go with it. Be blessed. Also, you might consider getting out a simple book series

Just live your life and we are grateful that you bring us along with WHATEVER you are doing. However, it would be nice to have your wife more involved sometime showing us canning and other things she works on. Also still praying for Emily.

First, just gotta say that I'm old enough to remember when "costs just chicken feed" meant very inexpensive. But, mostly just want to say that, like so many, I've been following you for years, and when you added the 2nd channel I immediately subscribed. So, a third channel? I don't really see the need, but whatever works best for you. Clicking a new "subscribe" button only takes a half-second. As long as the content continues regularly and of the quality we've come to expect, I really don't care how many channels you set up. I'll be 65 next month, and have enough health issues that living the lifestyle you have is no longer feasible for me, so at least I get to live vicariously through you and a few other outdoorsman.

We do buy grains, other beans, honey and nuts and seeds, etc. Our overall groceries which include toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc and a few splurges amount to about $5, 000.00 a year. We have been vegetarians for over 40 years and enjoy good health, cycling, hiking and gardening, and require no medication.

Our organic chicken feed is $36.00 for 40 # bags which was $40+ couple years ago. Also bought grass feed and finished whole beef a year ago for about $4000-$5000. Butchering more. We are buying again this year. Garden every year for low glycemic veggies. Have fruits trees as well. Make ghee and tallow so if no electricity, it is stable. Use refined coconut oil also. Can, dehydrate, and freeze-dry foods. It is amazing how much you depend on the fruit trees and garden to produce since we don't buy in stores as much as possible. Very labor intensive but a must. We are in our 70's now. This is our gym.

I have a recommendation for growing chicken food and that is hot peppers. Birds aren't affected by the capsaicin and most of the local wild live will leave it alone. Also you can plant it as a perimeter for the garden area to deter pests from the other plants you'll have and you can even use it to preserve some things if you wanted.

Shawn, I like how you put all aspects of what you're doing into 1 video. I think you should stay with that type of format. Thanks for the videos, very entertaining.

I live down here in New England, we just bought a half cow... it's my fifth time doing so, it cost me $6.25 per pound. I got 384 pounds of grass-fed grass finished beef. I thought the price was fair and I love helping out our farmer friends.

I don’t know what to tell you about another channel but I certainly can tell you I sure do appreciate all the content you have posted. I believe you are kept in the prayers of many people who know Christ. They pray for you and your family. May God give you that which is best for time and eternity.

גם אני מסכים כך אך מתבייש לשאול מה עם בני משפחתו פעם היו סרטונים קצרים עם המשפחה אך ניתן להסיג שאלו רק חיו ותחביבו באין מפריע ליצירתו , או שאולי זה חופשת נופש זמנית למשפחתו ?

Hey Shawn, first of all thanks for all the inspiring content you put out. I don't think you need another channel, but creating well sorted playlists and maybe a color/graphic code of some sort on the thumbnails to indicate which type of content would be a lot more clear for everyone in my opinion.

Love the 2 channels. The lifestyle and talking works well for this channel. Also, the ‘Dick Proenneke’ style with your my self reliance channel. Regardless I would watch your content because of the quality and integrity of what you do and share.

As I watched your videos over the past two months since starting a Carnivore lifestyle, I kept thinking this would fit Shawn well. Happy to hear your are carnivore now also. I have lost 30 lbs and stopped taking most of my meds. With your two channels now, I think you can manage your stories and content well.

Love your channels, so am positively ambivalent on whether you should start another. Always viewed the main channel as no-talking, timelapse, show-by-doing. This channel as more conversational and for miscellaneous shorter videos that weren't "main channel material". To me, livestock raising would fit in the existing framework - it's still about self-reliance, and if there's things that need explaining, then they fit here too.
