Winter Challenges, Building an Off Grid Log Cabin Alone in the Wilderness, Ep 10

[@jeffdorrity5609]

Shawn - It’s unimaginable how you hand dug the cellar/basement, made the Timbers for the foundation, water proofed it and now erecting the walls with logs you harvested. Oh and also put in a greenhouse with garden. If I were to tell someone about all you’ve accomplished in such a short time, they would say I’m crazy … glad you’ve filmed it all and found the time to edit and upload to you-tube. Cali is sure a star in her own right. Love this relaxing channel

[@HummingbirdJa]

Absolutely... Mind-blowing really. This man and his dog is simply incredible. Hats off without reservation. UK.

[@smarter_in_5_mins]

Just all the work shown is time-consuming enough. All the filming makes it twice as difficult and then Shawn needs to edit it. He definitely does not know what boredom is 🙂👍

[@sylviabrennan3032]

Shawn loved this video. How you do everything is beyond me. Well done for all your sharing 🥰🥰🥰🥰 The cold must be intense

[@jimmoore826]

Like he said...lol Amazing!!

[@RodneyCarpenter]

Heck...I'm impressed by the amount of snow he shovels alone...much less building the cabin! Thanks for making my Friday evenings relaxing and enjoyable, Mr. James.

[@adrianfletcher2829]

Mr, James, If you ever decide to vacation to sunny Florida it would be my honor and privilege to host you and your family for Dinner or whatever if you are in the Tampa area. Your definitely one of a kind. And the values you've instilled to your Daughter show in her attitude and come out on her Videos. Please be safe and kiss miss Cali's nose for myself and my service dog who watches your videos looking for her. Bless you Sir.

[@susanlongyear1229]

Hi Adrian you seem a very humble nice guy too ... l watch all of Shawn's videos an amazing guy too... Kind Regards, Susan from England 🇬🇧 😃

Man oh man, Shawn, watching you struggle against the winter weather challenges while building this monstrous log cabin, I see how effectively having Callie around really seems to help to break up the pressure and lighten the load as you chip away ( literally) at completing this project!! She is a real pleasure, that adds so much to the enjoyment of watching you skillfully work your way to building the dream house that many of us would love to be able to live in!! Thanks for letting us watch you work your wonders in the wilderness, Shawn!!

[@silverchunk]

Shaun, I have been watching your videos in awe for the past six months but this build is just astonishing. Any one of those huge logs could easily kill you if it slipped. The care you take in every move, a tiny tweak here and there, micro adjustments, it’s a marvel to watch. All the while Cali, the happiest dog in the world, bounces in and out of shot with her beloved orange float. It’s mesmerising to watch. I should be packing up stuff for my house move but I can’t tear myself away. From someone who would be defeated putting together an IKEA wardrobe I sit here in total amazement at your endeavour.

[@ehi3398]

Shawn, I've watched you build the last cabin from the beginning and I thought that was amazing. In a million years I would have never thought it possible to build a cabin with logs that size by yourself. And how fast you seem to progress. I would still be debarking the logs, LOL. Just incredible! And this is coming from someone in construction for the last 33 years!!

Thanks for your content. It's always appreciated as there's a lot of effort into making these videos and yours are visually epic as well as educational and relaxing.

[@MySelfReliance]

Thank you :)

[@NinjaMaiku]

I discovered your channel when I was up at nights looking after my newborn daughter so Mom could get some much deserved rest. What transpired was an addictive binge fest where I would insist on staying up until the early hours, around 4/5am just so I could squeeze in another episode. My daughter found your videos incredibly soothing and hypnotic and would fall asleep in my arms with the serene beauty of your cinematography. She's now 2 years old and still sits on my lap watching these videos asking all the questions. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the content you create as it's created a special bond between the two of us. ❤️

[@ronniefreeman3721]

Shawn I been looking every day for your videos, have not seen any, just hope you and your family are ok. You have inspired me to do things I thought I couldn’t. I have almost finished my log cabin, the chiching is finish, working on the inside now. Built it on the same style of the cabin you just left. I’m 70 years old, and it give me an since of accomplishment when I look what Ive done. You are one of a kind, God Bless,

Shawn, this is just an incredible feat, and so hard to imagine the fortitude in your heart to create something so AND share it with us. I never tire of watching, it’s mind boggling what you’ve accomplished on your own. We’re all following you because your tenacity and skills are beyond words, it’s almost too much watching you, I cannot imagine the fatigue, aches, and pains, but I’m willing to bet you sleep well at night. What are we going to do once the cabin is complete?! Wishing you well, stay safe, you and your family are in our prayers. Love and hugs for Cali, what a dog!

You are a true inspiration! No bullsh*t, you are ever day making progress and that, which may seem insignificant at times, will be utter joy and Serenity to you as it should! Real man simply doing what makes HIM a man!

[@Alphaannonces]

Truth without hypocrisy, as some of them do in the comments, claiming that they enjoy building this house just to enjoy the videos at the expense of your health. At least you can finish it in 6 months at the most and you were stupid by using huge tree trunks to build it because it narrows the interior spaces. You had to build it with the same tree trunks for your first house, its sizes were perfect and it did not require much physical strength This work I did was reckless and not brave. I am not one of the Canadians who like to brag about recklessness and claiming courage. I feel that you are tired physically. I advise you to rest for a month and hire 3 people to help you finish it. It is normal if I were in your place, I would do it. I mean, I would rest from it for a month, and I would not care about the requests of drunken people in the comments by continuing it at the expense of my health. Fuck hypocrisy

I think it is a demonstration of human spirit and courage to all of us. It think how easy my life has being, even with all my complaints. Our ancestors had to work, long hours with very little knowledge of construction. What is called trials and errors! This gentleman had to study, books or other materials to achieve his endeavors. It was knowledge passed from one generation to the next, it was written in books eventually. To pursue such a feast of success, comes from years of preparation. Taking note, making plans and sometimes addressing changes. But it is still a splendid example of tenacity and knowledge. It is commendable! I will keep on watching and specially Cali, as long as she remains healthy and happy. I am grateful for all.

We've all loved Cali, watched her play, seen her grow, known her wisdom she's earned and now see her mellow, growing older. I sure do hope she lasts many more years for you; still, it might be wise to get another dawg, so she can teach it how to be good; much easier than teaching a new one by itself.

[@rockyroadranch72]

Seeing your adze made me remember back to when I was little and my parents were building our cabin. My parents were taking a nap, and as small children will do, i was running around in the cabin. I stepped on the adze (carelessly stored blade up on the floor), slicing my foot to the bone on both sides. No doctor visit, no stitches, just a good tongue lashing for being so careless, (completely lost on this 5 year old) and one of my cousin's diapers used for a bandage. Then that brought up another nap time memory at the cabin. My mother woke to find me with nearly a whole stick of butter rubbed into my pretty white-blond hair. Why? Why to make it shiny of course! Bahahaha

Hi, I am also concerned for his or the family's health as there has been no videos since 13 days ago and no responses to comments after that. Those are big logs and crap happens fast. Been watching his videos since he started building the last cabin which has become part of my weekly viewing. I wait in anticipation for his next video either channel and now follow his daughter build. Not sure if he is still putting out videos and those are going to his "donating customers" kinda like patreon or he is just got the peddle to the metal to get the roof on before spring rains. Will wait and see for tomorrow (Friday video). Looking good Shawn.

Shawn's living proof that if you're driven by passion for a dream and goals, plan well, and you just keep consistently moving and chipping away at it, amazing things can be done, by applying a lot of persistence, sweat, and hard work. To pick up and restart, I can imagine the hardest part was to first make that agonizing decision just to do it. But there was so much knowledge gleaned from his previous efforts, I'm sure this build will be more efficient and usable, given his past experiences' lessons. Great work and so inspiring for all watching - to say nothing of the beautiful composition of shots and editing, and choices of music that fit the mood.

I know it's stunning to look at but must be hard to live & work in at times . I gave started to watch your daughters channel now too. Can't wait for the next episodes of both.

Love your videos, hard work and attention to detail is amazing! The video quality is fantastic and the views of the landscape is so beautiful! Thank you Shawn for taking us along on your dream! Cali is so content being with you and out in the bush! I’m looking forward to seeing the ridge beam going up!✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

You are absolutely correct about finding straight trees. No 2 trees are alike they have their own size shape height and width. I'm sure there are trees that are straight but not the ones in your area unfortunately. Gotta take with what u got and go from there. I think a thicker log looks beautiful wind resistant and will keep it warmer inside once completed. You are doing a remarkable amazing job compared to the first build which was amazing in its own regard this one however will yes have its challenges especially being by yourself. Not many are capable physically and mentally to do what u do takes a certain kinda of person to accomplish what your doing. Look forward to seeing what's next. God bless be safe stay warm and healthy. Jim
