Building an Off Grid Log Cabin Alone in the Wilderness, Ep 9

[@JustAClownInAClownWorld]

A man and his masterpiece. One log a time and one vlog at a time he shares this journey with us all. And shoots and shares amazing footage of the wilderness and it's beauty that some of us can only dream of and long for. I am truly grateful for all you do and share Shawn. You are an inspiring man to say the least. I'm absolutely captivated by your videos and always enjoy every second. Thank you 🙏 be well.

[@christianherold8128]

[@tonyz6421]

It's refreshing not to hear a bunch of foul language, that's for sure. I rest assured that me and my kids are watching pure good work, fun and always learning something. My daughter loves Callie. Nice job on the cabin, it's going to be a beautiful one 👍🏼✝️

[@markp.5618]

You know, it was the perception of the prevalence of that "culture" in the construction trades, and the realization I'd be working in weather like that, that dissuaded me from choosing that career choice.😂

[@robertweldon7909]

What impresses me, here, is no matter how much snow is there or how cold it might be, the work goes on. I come from a place a few hundred miles south from where Shawn is working. When the snow crunches under your feet and blows like powder in the breeze. IT IS COLD, well below freezing. I, myself would be hiding, in a warm place, waiting for spring and warmer weather. This, fellow subscribers, is the example of WORK ETHIC, which is sadly lacking in many of us today. My dad once told me, "live up to my name Bob, Add another L and an E to the end, and this is what you should do every day of your life, everything well done". He set the example in that and it is what I have tried to do, all of my 75 years. Shawn is a shining example of "everything well done" You go Shawn. ;-)

[@michaelcarron3418]

A suggestion about heating the boots up, and drying them out some, 1 1/2 to 2" stones. Fill a #10 can with them, put it on the stove to heat up, then shake them into each boot, stuff a wool sock on top of them to keep heat in a little while longer. Do this on the last fill-up of the woodstove, before you finally get up in the morning. They will be nice and warm.

[@wanderlust4evr995]

Yay! My “dream” has returned again! You took me away to a very calm place thru the Pandemic. Your workmanship is unreal, your etiquette is appreciated, your land thru the forest is mesmerizing! “Oh, Canada…” you are so beautiful too! Wonderful places, sights, peoples, traditions and cultures…but there’s nothing as close to heaven, as a cabin in the mountains. Thank you for sharing a tender piece of your heart, with all of us, who only dream sweet dreams of this. xoRPxo ps…So Blessed!

[@viewer478kll0]

29:47 Love that Cali moment and your genuine giggle. Nice to have you both back.

[@Hvitserk67]

It's really great and it's a pleasure to watch you build the log cabin in the traditional way. Few take the time and not least the effort to do this today. It is extremely labor intensive and takes a long time. One can really understand what the settlers went through. We do not have/did not have quite the same context in Scandinavia, but there were homesteads in the wilderness where people mostly managed themselves up to relatively modern times. In Lillehammer in Norway, they have a museum of cultural history where there are examples that have great similarities with your cabin. Some of them are from the 1600-1700s, but also some from the 1800s. At that time, ore pine was used and these logs really can withstand the test of time with proper maintenance. The oldest stave churches in Norway have such logs and they are from the 12th century.

[@LivinInSim]

Have you seen Eric Grankvist YT Channel? He is a young man in his early twenties, I think, building a cabin in much the same way as Mr. James, in the forest of Sweden. I don't recall what type of logs he used, but I'm sure he said. That is impressive that logs can last 10 centuries! I hope he used similar logs, haha.

[@Hvitserk67]

@@LivinInSim I have briefly seen his channel, but unfortunately I do not have time to follow him properly. I think he makes a sensible impression with the channel. The surname "Grankvist" is a bit interesting in this context. In English the name literally means "spruce twig/stick" :)

[@wandaschmidt4046]

I was a a bit concerned for a while when I didn't see Cali. Then, she finally showed up. Whew! I am so glad she is doing just fine. Your cabin is coming along beautifully. No shortage of things to do with all you have planned. Looking forward to seeing it all come together and your wife finally being able to join you once again.

[@dannyjames3437]

I've been watching all of Shawn's amazing progress for a long time now from when he first started his other cabin. It is all so very impressive. I can't help but wonder how well the basement walls and foundation are holding up under the weight of all of those big logs in constructing the cabin itself. That has to be in the tons of pressure by now. I'm sure he has calculated all of that in when estimating how everything was going to fall into place from the git go. Wishing you the best and never forget,-- none of us can do anything without God's making it all possible and allowing us to have good health in the process for which we should all give God the thanks & praise He deserves. May God bless you & yours.

[@sunrisesidesnowdogs5920]

Glad to see you back at the cabin. Hope you had a wonderful time with family and feel renewed!

[@CyberviewU]

The cabin is looking good. Regarding the water line, a free solution would be a very small pin hole leak in the poly tubing just inside the cellar drain that bleeds air back in the line to drain it and drips when the pump is on. Make the hole on top and glue a piece of rubber flap that falls over it so when the pump is on it is shut off by suction. A drip line emitter that can be turned down to zero would make a good air vent that is controllable.

[@keithandlindabaldrey7413]
