The complete build from start to finish, followed by a walk through tour where I explain exactly how and why I build the cold cellar and how I am storing at least a full year's worth of food for two, much of it packaged to last 25 years.

Hi, I'm Shawn James. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams in a log cabin that I built by myself in the Canadian wilderness. Join me and my golden retriever, Cali and listen to the sounds of the forest in this relaxing wilderness setting. I prefer to keep my talking to a minimum and let the natural sounds of nature make you feel as though you are there with me.

    Never get tired of watching Shawn build stuff! This cabin is just amazing!
  • @theresalero7039
    Of course I enjoyed it! I'm sitting here, eating Ibuprofen and Muscle relaxants and wishing I were 25 not 65+. I've watched every minute of your builds, this cabin and and the previous one. Your efforts help me get up, go start, just do it! Slower and stupider, but still loving the breathless moment when I can say, OK, that's done. Thank you Shawn, for helping us be a little more than we would have on our own.
  • Good Friday Shawn & Cali🐕! Your log cabin is beautiful Shawn. 👍🌅🌄🏞️🏡
  • @Doeff8
    Definitely one of my favorite moments in the week.... News from Canada ;-) Regards from The Netherlands
  • @Parker-ch9pl
    I've been watching since the first cabin, 2019. You are definitely "Self Reliant" and the most dedicated person i know besides my Dad. Thanks for letting me continue to view your Journey Shawn! 🙌 Calli too🐕
  • This guy is my absolute hero! I hope youre family realizes what a rare person it is that would go to such great lengths to lookout not only for their family's well being, but comfort as well. Enjoy the fruit of your labour. Super proud of you buddy💐

    Dear Sean, I'm sorry, I use self-translation. I admire you and what you are doing, what difficulties you have overcome! With great pleasure, sometimes with excitement, I watched all your videos, this is great content! Everything from building, arranging everyday life, getting food to filming nature and music is stunning!!! Sometimes it seems to me that you clearly have more than 24 hours in a day, how much you manage to do in total😄.Thank you for sharing this with us, your life, the opportunity to plunge into a dream🫶. Good health, long life and prosperity to you and your family! May all your plans come true! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to your new videos).

    Hello and good day! I have been subscribed to your channels for years. Sincerely, thank you very much for your great videos. With so much news of wars and human pain that we receive daily, your magnificent and selfless work is like an oasis to take refuge and enjoy the immense peace that you transmit, without ignoring the pain of all those who suffer. What you have been able to build with your own hands is, without a doubt, worthy of admiration. What you say about the melting of the snow in the middle of Christmas is really worrying... an unequivocal sign that the climate is changing... I hope you manage to finish everything you propose for Christmas and especially, that you have a great time together, as a family. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A CORDIAL AND SINCERE GREETINGS FROM SPAIN.
  • @straubdavid9
    I love the detail that you share. Showing what changes you need to make as you progress with your new cabin and gardening situation can be beneficial to those trying to pursue a similar life style. I was sorta headed down that road over 20 years ago, but then life happened and threw a wrench into my plans that I could not recover from. Now I'm too old to even think about any of it, but I enjoy the heck out of your channel, as well as other channels that are like-minded. I wish you and your family all the best🦮🐺🦌🐿🦫🐻🦃🦦👍🏻✌🏻
  • @trisho.8331
    I still marvel at your ingenuity, foresight, vision and engineering skills, esp. how you planned the root cellar at the onset of this mammoth project! Thanks for the detailed tour and flashbacks. Boggles my mind how one man aka YOU built this 2nd homestead to last several generations and your wife’s earnest support behind the scenes. Congrats Shawn, can’t say it enough. Merry Christmas to you and all. 🎄🙏🏻🥰❤️🍁
  • @joebacarella2829
    I didn`t realize how much thought went into that cellar, you will have all the storage you will ever need for annual food supplies. It looks cozy down there, putting in a bathroom, the girls are gonna love that, no more cold seat, love the builds, all the best to you and your family during the Holidays, from Michigan.
  • @arthenry498
    Replays and reruns are great!! Remembering "when" feels good. AND it is all so amazing when we see it like this. Fantastic Shawn. Totally unbelievable task and accomplishment. I super admire you for undertaking this. Moreso for accomplishing so much is such a time frame. Thanks again for letting all us dreamers dream along wishing we could be there too. I need some liniment from tonights installment now!!
  • @DavidWvu
    Amazing home, beautiful customized woodwork and very well planned out. The cellar is fantastic. Thank you for the tour. Merry Christmas from West Virginia to you Shawn and of course your family too.
  • @user-nc2cn8dc6c
    Очень понравилось отводящая система грунтовых вод под подвал и гидроизоляция всех помещений подвала. Утепление стен и гидроизоляция всех деревянных брусов. Отличное помещение для сохранения всего выращенного и сохраненого, вплодь до воды 💧💦🚰питьевой. Огромная работа. Большое счастье, что Вы Шонн и Ваши девочки все здоровы, собаке здоровье .
  • @StevenEverett7
    Happy birthday to Calli! Great video Shawn. I enjoyed the walk thru and look forward to seeing more.
  • @peppernc429
    Dear goodness, I remember when you were below 20K subs! Great job
  • @rajinevin7273
    Shawn ~ you are an amazing. exceptional man... I wonder if you know that. What you have created goes far above and beyond what most do! No doubt about that. You have a mind that thinks outside of the box and a level of integrity that goes into everything you do. I have such admiration for what you have created ~ the cabin, the root cellar, the gardening area ~ all of it! EXCEPTIONAL MAN! Your wife and children are very Blessed to have you !!!
