Algonquin wolves howl at my dog as I work on my off grid log cabin in the Canadian wilderness. I finish the interior of the mudroom (the breezeway between the log cabin and the future outdoor kitchen.

Never would I have thought that I could be so interested in watching a guy build a log cabin from the beginning...and enjoy every minute of it! I learn something new each time! Thank you Shawn. Plus, it's gets my mind off of all the crazy things happening in the world today...what a wonderful, peaceful relief.

When your cabin is complete you will have a fantastic homestead, and it's nothing more than you deserve. From all your hard work and effort you have achieved what most people only dream about, I wish you nothing but health, wealth and happiness.

I also live in an area where we coexist with wolves. Often hear them howling, and see their footprints in the snow when out deer and partridge hunting. Yesterday saw a flock of ravens in the middle if a nearby farm field, stopped the old pickup, trudged through 18" of fresh snow for a half km, and yup, just as expected came across a fresh from the night before wolf kill of a small deer. All that was left was the hide, the hind legs and the rib cage. The wolves, ravens and eagles have to eat as well.

Yup, like I wrote earlier in your internal ceiling post on your other channel, you and Cali have been zoned in on by a full Canadian Wolf pack, and you are under constant surveillance by them ! They are magnificently patient and determined hunters, and they won't stop until you stop them Shawn. These animals do represent a real danger (Even more than a local black bear or two) in the sense the wolf pack is far more aggressive and determined to get what you have to offer (Food) than the bears are. Cali can both smell and hear them just beyond the end of your open field in the thick wood watching. The watchers howl to communicate with the pack to surround your place. This is how you know they are about to make their appearance; When you hear them howl from more than one, or multiple directions, then grab your weapon (s) and be ready. Until then, keep your powder dry.

I'm glad you got the breezeway finished, so Cali can sleep in there, safe from the wolves, without getting too hot and wanting to stay out, as she did in the old cabin. Here in the Netherlands they are trying to get some wolves to settle as part of improving nature. There had been none left here for a long time, though occasionally a single one would wander in from Germany. Now in the few largish nature reserves we have there are a few dens, and adolescents as well as lone German wolves are moving into more farmed areas. I thought wolves would prefer to keep their distance from humans, but there have been sightings of wolves moving around the fields near some woods, behind the barn, pretty close - as near as they were to your cabin. Farmers have reported a lot more kills than they could eat, like 6 sheep killed and more wounded in one night, in one field behind the barn close to the farmhouse, and a girl's pony killed in the field beside the stable, also close to their farmhouse, and those farm kids are told not to play behind the barn even in daylight. Is it just that those young wolves don't know any better? And how do they learn to keep their distance, when they aren't hunted and even shooting at them with a paintball gun is forbidden? I don't want them to be hunted, and I think all the farmers near nature reserves should get support to get better fences that will not only keep sheep, cows and ponies in but will keep wolves out. But if they trot through the fields in daylight, take large animals from fields right next to farmhouses, and aren't wary/afraid of humans, I do worry that they will pose a danger to children playing outside or biking about on their own, as they do here, or even to dog-walking adults. The mass sheep kills really were wolf kills, we don't have stray dogs here (all caught, chipped and taken to a shelter and adopted), and the dead sheep were checked to make sure it wasn't done by someone's dogs.

Hello Shawn, the new cabin is coming along great and I honestly like everything your doing with it as you turn it into a strong and comfortable place you can call home for years to come. Cali is such a wonderful dog that is well behaved, playful, and your loving little shadow and I can tell you care for deeply, whereas I have my own little shadow pup named Nugget that just turned 14 years old that places me in fear of losing him someday soon although I don’t like the thought of ever losing him as he’s become like one of my children. He was the only boy out of a litter of 4 that we rescued before they were weaned meaning we fed them with tiny bottles, etc. and ended up falling in love and keeping them all on our country homestead where we have the space they needed, and today he’s the only one left and he seems to be doing great besides being a bit slower these days. We always wanted to do exactly what your doing once we retired, however we have been dealing various medical problems caused from a bad car wreck and cardiac disease all of which are slowly being dealt with and treated, and I look forward to the day of being healthy once again to do everything I’ve wanted to do. Sorry so long winded but I wanted to reach out and say hello and keep up the great work and keep these very interesting and enjoyable videos coming!

I’ve been living vicariously through Shawn and his videos for quite a while now. He is such a nice guy and a badass all at the same time. I love that Cali too.

Sitting on the porch of your hand built log cabin - hot drink in hand - looking out over a meadow, faithful companion by your feet - or - sitting in front of a desk, attired in a suit facing an endless pile of paper and a computer monitor? Sigh? ............. Well done Shawn!!

I just love how you’re always have time to make sure that your dog is happy too, regardless of the hard work that you (and sometimes your family) are doing. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Cali is already her age: always faithful and beautiful as always. I congratulate you, you are an artisan carpenter and many more qualities. We have already known each other for a few years. I also see that in these times of climate change there is more snow in that place than here in Norway, this year the time of low temperatures was very short. Blessings friend.Shalom.

This is becoming absolutely stunning. What a beautiful place with so much love put into it..and Cali just enjoying life away from the smog and crappy kibble foods. What a wonderful life...lots of hard work but its all worth it when you lay your head down at night and admire your creation you built snuggled up with your dog.... Now with that said...those wolves and bears make me really nervous..moreso for Cali. Wolves are clever and will prey on you if they have the opportunity. Really scary. Stay locked and loaded and one eye on your furbaby.

Shawn I enjoy all your videos but my favorites are always the ones where you work on the interior of the cabin. I love how you customize everything from the window trim to the shelving to the lanterns, whatever it is. Be safe and Merry Christmas.
