Winter Cabins / 2 Nights 2 Cabins. SECLUDED (EP8)

Join me for this one! It is a bit of a long hike into each cabin. Winter deep in these mountain woods can make a lovely wood burning fire all that much more enjoyable.
For this video, you'll want to kick your feet up and enjoy a hot drink. I don't know what it is about these little remote winter adventures, but they sure have a way of waking us up to our senses and seeing the bigger picture in life. Of course, it may also help that there is no connection to the outside world. A cell phone is of no use out here.

[@davecarlson2451]

Shawn I enjoy your videos. I can find no-fault with your camera work. Be proud of what you’re doing. Most of us won’t take the chance or like me are past the point , age wise, where I can put myself out there like you do. I wish I had taken that chance 30 years ago, but then we didn’t have KZbin, to let us know what was going on in the world that you’re experiencing.

[@MurphyWoodwork]

Make some cool green t-shirts with that kick ass logo on em so we can buy and support!And a pup would help with the loneliness! Really enjoy your videos.

[@AdrianBurden888]

yes, came here to say this!

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

You're the first one to mention that. I'll see what I can do

[@kaym9501]

...since the beginning one of the best channels on youtube! Glad to see that you made it back to the cabin!!!

[@colin8532]

Excellent video sir! The single life is the one for me as well. You'll get used to being alone and won't feel lonely after a little while. Being alone is a far better option than being with the wrong person, or people. I'm speaking from experience. Take care brother.

[@PlayAllNightt]

I'm a simple man, I see Shawn upload a video, I like.

[@Chris-yk5rm]

Always excited to see a new video from you! Its one of the few channels that we sit down and watch on the TV to enjoy.

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Thanks guys. They'll get better I hope

[@ZDD760]

I await for the next chapter. Great adventure

[@buffalo4127]

Shawn, embrace your freedom…invite a friend to visit…cook a good meal…absorb the outdoors! It will change one day without notice….

My new favourite channel

[@Utenerd]

Absolutelly enjoy watching your great adventure of this turning point of your life. You know, last episode you made a rational choice of not risking it all by crossing that river. I really felt the disappointment you must have felt. So glad you got there now. Please let us follow your development of your land. Kudos from Norway 😊

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Cheers to 🇳🇴

[@stevelinkous6030]

Another great video. Love the Grateful Dead-esque sounding music at the end. Its the the right vibe. Keep the videos coming!

I really hope you found your lost boat. Blessings Shawn. Enjoy your time at the remote cabin.

I watched again. Nice job!

[@entwiner1]

Great new camera! Crystal clear!

[@jamesblissett9452]

Enjoy your adventures. Great place you have. 👍🏻

[@Theforestlore]

Hell yea brother, nice camera footage you looking like a pro now!! How abouts you go back to work and bless us with some vlogs on your thoughts to tie us over until more cabin videos, all this heat in Australia makes me crave the Canadian cold haha

[@dmc2087]

This Canadian is looking forward to some warm spring and summer weather !

[@mikecrawford7352]

Another great video. The new camera is great. I was shocked that the tarp covered shed off the cabin held up. You definitely have a great place to stay and build your cabin. Wish I could do something like that. As much as I want peace and quite especially when the kids are driving me crazy I think it would be the isolation that would stop me from being out there long term. Follow your path and do what feels right for you.

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Thanks Mike

[@jewelphone888]

As always thanks for the effort making the video. It great seeing the snow around and the changes the weather brings in to the area. As always I will be awaiting your next video but I understand you might need to work. Unfortunately work can be necessary sometimes. I will be hanging around for your videos if you keep at them now in winter or after some work. You are very entertaining and the new camera makes a nice steady video as you walk. Thanks again 👍

[@mcintyrefarm1558]

Ok think I've watched all your videos, keep them coming, be safe

[@Herpaderp10]

Glad to see you made it to the cabin safely and were able to spend a night there. I'm sure that was a great feeling!

Keep them coming if that’s what you want do, I love watching your journey, I am a fan of your videos,it makes my mundane life that little bit better, I wish I could have what you have, cherish and embrace the simplicity of it, 🙏

[@AdrianBurden888]

Hey Shawn, keep doing what your doing and no need to get fancy. I have been telling friends and coworkers and I hope your base grows. Thanks for bringing us along and looking forward to more!

Hey Shawn, your videos are excellent, thanks for taking us along on your journey, can't wait for the next one. Cheers Shaun

[@latemcire8387]

I look forward to seeing your progress each week. Keep doing what you’re doing. I predict a snowmobile in your future. And probably a quad

[@Asaphurai]

Love your Channel Shawn. Kody showed me a few months back and I find myself always checking for the next post. Hope I get to visit the property one day soon. Cheers

[@TheFriendlyNorthman]

Enjoy the freedom Shawn but if you ever need a hand or just a buddy to enjoy the nature with, let me know! 👍

[@Dontworry44]

The new Go-Pro footage is beautiful. Great investment, but they eat batteries for every meal. You will probably need at least 1/2 dozen batteries for backup.

[@Nena84734]

Boy, that first cabin….no frills, kinda yucky. Glad you made it to your cabin, it sure is looking good, so much better than the first cabin! Thanks so much, always enjoy your episodes!

[@kevinpigeon2456]

Great vid. Would be great for you to have a metal insulator ( keeps flammable material away from hot pipe ) on the chimney pipe where it goes through the wall / ceiling . I would Hate to see you burn up your cabin . Cheers

[@AshFromEarth]

Love your videos mate, and waking up in that spot looks stunning!

[@lukehoza9571]

Great channel, I love these vids. Not stressed on the quality its fine. Just like seeing what you get up to and your genuine self, you will really get to know yourself through this process, enjoy it

[@MiklasKuoppala]

That spot you have is amazing. Must be well worth all the work when you finally get that trail made up there. It's been great to follow the journey!

Thanks for sharing Shawn!! this is great therapy for me!!

[@brianmorrow9815]

I'm glad you finally made it back. Hope you decide to stay you won't regret it. But money helps too lol

[@user-df3yf5ck1w]

I was a nervous wreck the whole walking trip through the water and ice! Nail biter! Love your content! Thanks so much for sharing! Great job filming! Much improved on your new GoPro

[@dcranch4820]

I have spent a lot of time ice fishing. Some required long walks where i had to cross some partially open sloughs. Even though you know theres not much water under the ice there is always a high pucker factor when making such crossings. I always carry a ice chisel to check ice thickness and water dept. Also it is great for stability when you break through the ice. It can keep you from falling and getting a wet ass. In your case you could leave it at your crossing spot and that way it would always be there for winter crossings. Would suggest you paint it red so you can easily locate it. I really enjoy you content. I agree with the first poster that your channel is the best on KZbin! I so look forward to you videos! Keep up the great work!!!

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Thanks for the suggestions! Good ideas for sure

[@jeffroberts1834]

was pleasantly surprised to see another video so soon, wasn't expecting it. Here is to hoping that you find someone that loves being in the remote outdoors as much as you do. They are certainly out there. Love your videos as always. I never noticed that your cameras were so shaky before. You put together a nice show. Thanks for sharing. One of your biggest fans

[@1cleblanc]

I agree, get some "Merch" going! The Logo is epic! Imagine you have "camp sites of solitude and simplicity! People paying you to fish, hunt, stay at your lodge property! You would have that "Grand Cabin" and chill watching the seasons pass.

[@Deck1ngUK]

Great effort buddy, camera and accessories are working fine, good clarity. Just 1 question: do you have a smith and western in your belt, just in case?

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Haha. No Smith and Wesson. I have an old Lee Enfield British. 303 that never seems to leave the cabin.

[@jasmorgan94]

You are a lucky boy Shawn. :)

[@MrManicola]

Nice video. Glad you made it to the cabin. I am hoping that you knocked off the snow from the top of the tarp shelter before you left. Just thinking that it made it most of the winter and you just would not want it to collapse with the last heavy snowfalls of the season. If not, so be it. Hopefully it will continue to hold.

[@daveparent1819]

Love the show keep up great work

[@dfoltz268]

Just watched all your videos Shawn and just enjoyed each one more than the last! Cabin/cabins are coming along great and as you can see each year will just get better as you get more established! Look forward to seeing more videos and the go pro made a huge difference with the picture stability/quality! Whatever you decide/stay and work or get a few more months of work in before returning Ill be happy to see the next notification of an upload! Thanks for taking us along with you as many of us are living vicariously through your efforts! Much respect from Florida!

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Thanks for the message. Nice to know someone in Florida is into this kind of thing. Appreciate it

[@dfoltz268]

@@cabinriveroutdoors Yeah I hate the weather and the year round bugs.. but the people and the politics suit me. That being said my wife and I are looking for 50-100 acres to retire on and it will be as remote as possible and as far north as I can drag her. If it never got above 80f Id be happy. It can get as cold as I likes.. I just hate heat.

[@Sean-bp6xb]

Looks like you almost chopped your finger off! Yikes! Watching from Ontario Canada 😮

[@missindependent1973]

Shawn, I personally haven’t noticed any shaking with your camera work. It could be that I’m very invested in your activities & your progress so much that I didn’t notice. I’m sure others will think the same. With this crazy so-called “winter”, so many areas are lacking significant snowpack this year. It definitely worries me. I walk daily at a local conservation area right by my place and it’s amazing the difference in water levels this year, versus last year. I’m worried about forest fires in 2024 as a result. Have you thought about a plan if a forest fire threatens you or your beautiful land? I just hope you could get to safety quickly 😢

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Thanks!! I don't know if I would stand much chance in a forest fire. I could create a fire break around the property and have a high powered water pump from the river ready to go at moments notice

[@Victorialands]

That view from your cabin in the morning… Perfection, nature at its best.

[@domainadmin1679]

Your vids are one of my favourite things on KZbin. The subscribers are coming, then it will get weird when you go into town.

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Haha. If it ever gets to that point, I'll start wearing a wig whenever I go to town

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@Dontworry44]

The generator most likely had water in the fuel from condensation. Not everyone knows to put "Sea-Foam" type gasoline additive into engines requiring long term storage. It is the number one failure cause for small engines in North America.

[@user-jz3qq5gr6g]

The video is great .The scenery is beautiful.

[@MoroMoro1]

I would be beyond scared of walking in that pitch of black darkness. I can't believe you do it. you're soo brave. I was more nervous for you walking in the darkness than over the ice cover water lol. Nice to see you were able to make it to the cabin and build site. Thanks for filming and sharing I really enjoy your videos!

[@DowntownDamian]

Berkey Filter, and also if you own some of that water land - look into building a water turbine, for 24/7 electricity out there

[@felixrichard3215]

Just love the way you go for life . Do or dye . Tank you

[@kimhenderson1541]

You need a Argo with tracks. They are and Fabius vehicle. Yes expensive pack would be perfect for your situation.

[@akomni-vr5gt]

Loved the comment you can heat it up with a hairdryer😇

[@Normancomics]

I love your videos man… watching them down here in FLORIDA Makes me excited for when i can get back up to the mountains. Im from Colorado, so I miss them every minute I’m in this hot-ass state. You ever have anything happen out there in the bush you cant explain? You ever have any Sasquatch experiences?

[@dachedetre]

Well bud, we enjoy the updates and happy u made it. I think I'm in your neck of the woods and can carry some of that good eating too lol I was wondering what goods u brought with u. U inspired me to pack a Brick of cheese and at least a 24 of eggs. Hope we r in the same area I would love to come adventure someday. I'm near pg

[@Patescot77]

I think you should redo the footings by jacking that small cabin up one corner at a time.

[@spudrubble]

Pro and Con CON: Only one and it's more of a worry wort concern. The plastic behind the indoor woodstove maybe put some sort of heat shield temporarily behind the stove. I lived through a house fire and I mean it literally, I was on actual fire so my worry could just be me being overly concerned. PRO: I loved the video quality enough before because the content was so good, now the actual video quality really steps it up. I love you can take this bed ridden hospice outdoorsman back into the outdoors again instead of my 4 wall prison. You had me waiting for that ice to fail you but it held. The solar lights are a good idea, great way to find your landing off the water. They make solar street lighting. We have one at the gate to our farm and it works great. It is at 30% power when it gets dark and automatically kicks fo 100% when it detects motion. The "Jungle" site has them for under $100 and ours is on year 3 and still going. Unsure though how it would function in your tropical temperatures 😂

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

Thanks for the suggestions! Love that

[@vraalten]

Great and inspiring to follow your adventures and progress! Love your authentic and soulful way of approaching things. Taking your time and not hurry things. And what about those outrageous home prices? Keep up the good work!

[@Oldmane-420]

Prices are much better in the interior, Shaun is North of Prince George, Prices there for same home he was quoting would be $400,000- 600,000 .

Stoked to see you got across and into your fortress. Keen to see the next one and if you stayed on. Curious also to see what the plan would be when so remote in the winter there e.g. supplies, food etc. Also digging the new camera and angles, getting a bit fancy pants now mate 😂

[@norwegianoutdooradventuren5376]

Awesome job. I really enjoy your videos. You might wanna consider the mediamod for the GoPro for windy days, just a tip. The camerawork is excellent. How about stretching a wire across the river with a basket to sit in? Keep up the good work.

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

I just Googled Mediamod. Thanks for the advice. I will get one!! And yes, maybe the cable across the river in the future!

[@pamandcj]

this is probably a silly question, but why don’t you cut your bacon in half? I take the unopened package and just cut the entire thing right down the middle. I’ve done it for decades, now, and the bacon always fits easily in the pan and cooks fast. anyway, I enjoy your videos very much. I like their simplicity and your candid vulnerability. may God bless you, keep you safe, and prosper your endeavors!!

Never seen bacon cooked like this. Hey sir, I didn't notice shaky bad video before but sure notice nice video now. So, when you choose to walk back to your car since water was deep that night why didn't you not ride the quad out? Just curious. I'm disabled so I always think of ways to do things easier.

Did you turn the valve on for the gas for the generator I have the sportsman duel fuel 4000w and definitely has a valve for the fuel (gas) so that might be the issue or the carbon monoxide sensor went off and blew the fuse so I would pull it out of the shed

[@cabinriveroutdoors]

You're right. I'll know that for next time when I stay at that cabin

[@cliffscott2816]

Can't seem to grasp the reasoning behind purchasing property that is on both sides of the river thus making it difficult to get to your cabin a lot of he time.
