Surviving Winter in a Log Cabin | Tiny Home

Hi, friend. I'm from Russia. My city Yekaterinburg. This Is The Urals. I built a house, too. The house of logs. I watch all your videos. I started learning from you. Your videos are inspiring. I'm really looking forward to new videos.

[@SherryEllesson]

"should" is kind of a strong word. Some would love this kind of life - for others it would be anywhere from uncomfortable to downright impossible. What I would suggest is that everyone find their own "comfort" place and work toward it, as both of these people did. It sure as he** didn't happen overnight.

Impossible is also a strong word. 😉

Mrs. James, I know that being in front of a camera is not your favorite thing to do but you have been a trooper and added so much to the channel. I have been subscribed for quite some time. I have enjoyed watching your husband work, create and teach. I have enjoyed his videos. However, there has always been something missing and that was you. I can see in Shawn's face that a void has been filled. The "My Self Reliance" channel is now complete. May God continue to bless you both. Looking forward to the next one.
