I remember watching you start your journey from my couch back in 2017. I was an alcoholic pilot with no medical. Three years later I am semi retired and living debt free on my own private 19 acres of native New Zealand Beech forest and building my own cabin ( building a fire watch tower ). Your part of a new generation with an important job. Spreading positivity and inspiration to a generation saturated with negativity. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas and happy new year from Greece

[@slickwilly7703]

Back in 1970, when I was about eight, my dad built an A frame cabin approximately 500 sq. ft. in Tennessee without power tools just like you did. We spent many weekends out there over the years and these videos of yours have brought back many faded and forgotten memories. Once we went out there and my older brother, who was about 11-12 at the time, almost got bit by a rattle snake but my dad killed it with his rifle. He cut the rattler off, put it in a jar and gave it to my bro as a keepsake. It had 15 rattles and a button so it was a big snake. Then, as we got older a couple of friends and I spent the night out there by ourselves and we snuck some beer out there to enjoy. Suddenly, I heard my dad's motorcycle in the distance and I could tell he was showing up unannounced. We scrambled to hide the beer under some leaves by a certain tree in the woods and tried to act natural. My dad stayed for several hours and we had chicken roasted on a home made spit over a campfire that was maybe the best chicken I've ever had in my life. Thankfully, he never did find out about the beer or I would have never lived to see another birthday. This cabin was in a remote place but certainly accessible. When my two friends and I were out there camping we went to take a bath down at the creek. It was remote enough that we felt comfortable doing that. Only this time we heard a car coming and it sent us scrambling for cover. We managed to get pants on but that was about it. Turns out it was a couple of girls out joy riding. We told all our friends we got lucky with those girls but the truth is we were so scared by the whole thing that we only had courage to get in the car and get out of there. Several years later we put the property up for sale and my dad told me to go out to the cabin to see if there was anything left I wanted to take with me. When I went out to the cabin to say my goodbyes to so many fond memories I was walking around and saw something in the woods that caught my eye. Something that looked out of place. Upon closer inspection I began to realize it was those cans of beer we had buried under the leaves all those years ago. Couldn't believe my eyes. I'm almost 60 now and it was not until facebook came along and I caught up with my old teenage buddies that I was able to share the last part of that story with them. And how great it was too. I know you and your family will make lots of great memories at your cabin too. Thanks again for the video!

[@lfmm97]

That's a beautiful story. Loved reading this. Must have been a surreal moment for you when you found those cans of beer all those years later. Did you even remember they were there in the first place when you were walking around or had you just completely forgotten about them and got caught by surprise? I wonder what you did with them. Did you leave them there? Throw them out? Kept them as a souvenir? I definitely would have kept them, I get too emotionally attached to little things like that sometimes, but not everyone is corny like me. It's always a bit sad when we grow older and all the great memories we had as kids are now just distant memories, and at least for me it's even more sad when some of those memories slowly begin to fade with time, but what you lived through was definitely something special and I have a feeling you'll remember it forever. Hope all is well with you and thank you for sharing the story.

Merry Christmas to the James family and all of your viewers. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in August of last year. I started chemotherapy treatments in September and found your you tube channel at that time. Thank you for your love of the outdoors as it helped encourage me to get better so I could do what I love when I get better. I am now cancer free but still have a long way to go after recovering from surgery and chemo treatments. Love Cali and I have learned a lot from you. May God bless you and your family and thanks again.

[@gabriela88235]

Im sorry I get what it feels like to have those memories you miss. I have some hope for you :)Jesus Christ is coming back. The fires, earthquakes, virus, people’s hearts growing colder this means the time is almost here. The Bible has predicted these types of things. He died for your sins if you accept the free gift. All those times you have lied, stolen, gossiped or anything else that is basically not loving everyone as you love yourself is a sin. God has watched you and sees everything even the most secret things. The good news is that He came and was manifested into flesh to come suffer, be humiliated and die for you, if you put your full faith and trust in Jesus. He loves you so much. It’s not about this world, it is already passing away. Please get saved today, you can go to Heaven. Not by earning it or doing “good” works. There is no one good. Our righteousness is like filthy rags compared to God’s perfection. You cannot bribe God. Ask Jesus to save you and tell Him you believe He died for you, was buried and rose again on the third day. Jesus is alive right now. Ask Him to come into your heart. He wants a personal relationship with you not religion. Going to church does not save you. Saying a sinners prayer does not save you. You need to truly believe in your heart because God knows your heart. Tell Him you want to know Him and that you believe What Jesus did can save you and that He is Lord. Get a relationship with Him today. Heaven is gonna be beautiful filled with fun and joy far better than we can imagine. He loves you so much. Please search up rapture dreams on KZbin so many believers feel He is coming soon!! Accept Him as the Lord and your personal savior. Get that personal relationship. It’s so beautiful :) Thank you God bless! ❤️

@@fastasali5498 thank you so much for your positivity! The Lord Jesus Christ really does love you so so much more than you can imagine. It’s that easy to be saved like i shared in the really long paragraph up above. Just believe He died for your sins, was buried and rose again on the third day! Now that you already saved you get to have a relationship with Him personally and not religion. God bless you. Thanks again for your positivity! 😊💗

Well, its kinda hard to do but you welled me up with this one.. Watching this while I am wrapping the presents for my girls as well. Shawn, the best to you and your family this Christmas and a wish for peace in all of our hearts, minds, and families across your great collection of friends (1.15 million!).

[@jumpinjakeflash1]

Beautiful family, Shawn. I've been in the entertainment industry for 34 years. This is exceptional production work. Not sure who does your editing, but if it's you, you blow me away again with another talent. God bless you. You indeed have the world by the tail...

[@garthwunsch]

He mentions in some videos about taking time in his schedule to edit the productions... he’s a true artist - on so many levels.

[@ki-hyukyoo5172]

The one who Edits the Videos has been in his Videos all the time...Cali.

[@Celticcross688]

The best thing for this Man is somone who will LOVE his daughters like he does, someone who can look after each of them. Also someone who is a Quick at learner, Father in Law, has a lot of knowledge. His dog adores him..

[@rosecoloredlady7094]

My dad has a wife and 4 daughters. lol This guy reminds me of my dad.

[@rosecoloredlady7094]

@Gibberish Generator Yeah, especially since the first born WAS a boy, but he sadly died at 3 months old. I'm surprised it didn't destroy my dad.

I Share these videos from Shawn, even talk about them; I encourage my friends and family members to WATCH HIS VIDEOS!!

[@TeddyLovesBacon]

I am so in love with this beautiful sweet golden retriever, Cali! Obviously a super sweet and happy dog. But the scene where she is trying to jump and catch the shoveled snow as its being tossed , I mean come on?! That expression of complete unbridled doggy joy and happiness just killed me! Can happiness get any more real then that? Can sweetness be any more pure?! Cali is literally living the dream every day, and it makes my heart rejoice :-)

[@sheilarogers2771]

I'm in pain but it made me laugh and feel joy...so thank you!

[@unti419]

[@donseclad]

One of the most heartwarming videos I have ever seen, beautiful

[@johncaash7868]

Letting Cali in at just the right moment capped an already awesome Christmas video. Your talents as a video editor often get over shadowed by the things you build not to mention your cooking. You do fine work editing. Best Wishes Shawn. To you and yours. Keep up the good work. Thank you

[@filypefx]
