- Another action packed week out here. A couple different bear encounters once again. One day at a time out here, as it can be easy to get distracted with all the sights and sounds that Mother Nature has to offer out here.
The abundance of growth in this region is evident throughout this video.
Watch me frolic with bears, solar panels, chainsaws and a variety of things that one needs to consider when trying to make it in these parts.
You'll certainly want to watch this one!
Shawn
Get a goat to eat the grass, a dog as an alarm system, and you get 2 new best friends to keep you company
2 Nannies(for milk yr round), a Billy and two good dogs and raise all 5-together as a family...!
Build a nice rugged 12'×12' bear proof log cabin shed for them all to safely sleep in...!
Tho wiil have to clear 1/2 an acre of brush they can't eat *between the trees (leaving most trees) spread good grass & clover seed thruout...!
Have all the butter, milk, cottage cheese, yogurt and goat cheese you can eat and barter with in town...!
Don't apologise for talking on the video, we are enjoying the experience with you and I for one like the chat otherwise it is just an off-grid cabin build. This channel is different and we are all along for the ride. The more that bear comes into your space the more comfortable it will be. It is the predator, protect yourself and protect your space.
Just the kind of advice I need to hear.
@@cabinriveroutdoors we love u keep it up.love the chit chat, like listening to a good friend…you need to start accepting gifts..this is now your life and your job..it’s time..u can and should..
Let’s continue to like and comment!! This guy deserves it, thank you for bringing us on your adventure🎉🎉🎉❤

The largest BERKEY water filter with 4 carbon filters with clean water go in & 20,000gals of safe drinkable water will come out...!
Shawn, you are so down to earth and genuine, love your channel, thank you for going weekly with new videos, I really look forward to your progress.
I don't know if you will read this comment or not, but first and foremost I love your channel and the adventure that you are on. Just a couple thoughts, as a lot of people have said that bear needs to be dealt with. That bear is testing you and the last thing you need is it coming up on you in the middle of work. You are far from help and medical. On medical, investing in an extreme, comprehensive medical kit with something like a Garmin inReach to get help if you need it. Yes expensive but could be a life saver. Lastly don't be afraid to accept the gifts or donations. I beg you, because this is now your "Job" if people want to help let them. All jobs come with some perks as you know and this is one of them from doing this. There is a huge difference from being one of them that beg for the donations versus someone who lets it happen organically. You are providing a service whether you feel that way or not. Again love your content and you are doing an awesome job.
I couldn't agree more...
My dear boy, you need to accept gifts and donations. It's not you asking, people give freely if they wish to. Your channel provides entertainment, accept love in return. At least get a buy me a coffee account
😊
Yep U need to accept gifts. They are given to u because that can will to help u. Us others will comment and like because we can and it helps. This is how u make a living now and the gifts are sorta like your tips…we are here because we love watching you..and listening to your chit chat, it’s like sitting and listening to a good friend talk. God bless stay safe and I heard that u can pee on the trees and it’s a warning to the bears it’s your space but I doubt that’s true..lol a gun a must and don’t let them keep getting closer and closer to u.
Not an expert but I would encourage you to take care of that bear. If he is circling you, this is predatory. It seemed like he's testing you to see if he can catch you by surprise. I'm all for living in harmony with nature, including bears, but when they start getting brave and trying to test boundaries, eventually you have to push back.
Love the content I'm new here but, I agree, I'm no expert but I've experienced them enough to know that the bear is 100% testing you and challenging by encroaching on your space..Be careful or better yet just build a smoker and let that bear be the first to season it..that bear is a danger to you and anyone else it might be able to surprise
Black bears rarely hunt. They're not scared to fight over food, but they suck at hunting. So it's probably not predatory. It's more likely that they can smell food and just trying to decide if it's worth the fight. The end result is the same, but maybe if he could store his food and dishes better so the bears can't smell it, or at least not as strongly, they would be less likely to be aggressive. Just a hunch. You never know with wild animals though, so best to be cautious.
I am a whimp, I would knock up a fort or fence quickly or perhaps even a treehouse :o)
Nice video, take care of yourself. Big Salut from Portugal.
Yeah that bear is really sketchy. I would make sure to get rid of it for my own protection.
Great vid . One other commenter suggested a dog. Absolutely !!! Even go to a shelter and see if any older labs are available. That bear I watched is eyeing and measuring you up. When he charges you will have little time to react. Remember you are all alone !!
dead standing trees are called "widow maker's" for obvious reasons, get rid of them!
My thought was, what are the chances that tree would come down just when standing under it??....short moment later..boom!!! there goes the "spine" of the weed wipper. Just goes to show WE can never be do careful living in the wild, especielly this far away from any help.
That bear will never be your friend
Then why is it furry and friend shaped?
But he's so cute. I want to cuddle with him.
You need to get a book on the behavior of wild animals. Bear clawing a tree is marking his territory
He probably already knows that, that's why he fired the warning shot after
We don’t have many wilderness men like this anymore.
Having a buddy would be safer and helpful.
I can’t believe that you are able to leave your vehicle parked off the side of the road, and no one steals it, or the belongings.
He's in the middle of nowhere in Canada. I really don't think there's anyone around to steal his car.
I’m a northern BC bush senior….may I encourage you to continue to build …but if you can have positivity it’s save you …it’s a mind set…you’ll make it…you are stepping back into a past I and my ancestors knew about and lived in….you just have to step a little farther…more to learn , hugg it it will happen….i see progress
Going with the flow, as you are, is simply the way homesteading is... the trick is to keep doing what you're doing-go with your gut feel... wander when you want, fish at will, build when you feel like it. The way life should be. Flexibility and adaptation. This content works, change nothing other than your underpants, once a week.
❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😊
Dude, keep on rambling. It's nice to hear where your thoughts are, and it helps you work out the problem. I personally don't like videos without talking.
Shawn, you need a dog with all those bears around. Good company too.
100%
just asked that question ... In the bush you need water, fire, gun, knife, food, shelter and Dog.
Yup a dog. Lol I have seen instances where a guy was out hiking with his dog , the dog was head of him and it ran into a bear. The dog ran back to the guy with the bear hot on its tail.
Lol, you'd definitely want something tough that doesn't mind the snow, a shepherd or husky maybe.
Or a Russian Bear dog!
❤😊 its not rambling! Were here for you Shawn!❤😊
I agree!!!!🎉 Keep TALKING❤❤❤
The bears don't know that you cannot smell them. A resting bear creates a 'cloud' of scent that all animals can smell except people. So the bear automatically can assume you are challenging its space by merely approaching and entering their scent 'cloud'. You should probably get a liking for bear meat, before they decide to get a liking for you. edit: after watching more of the video you do not want a bear entering your camp. Period. Black bears will eat you. If the bear is not afraid of you and your camp it is a danger.
Have to strongly agree with you. That bear is trouble!
Yes bear sausage,fat ,roasted bear ,smoked jerky .lots to learn about wild meat preservation.will be interesting to watch your journey .is maybe eat the bear before he eats you ? We have no bear in New Zealand but when i used to live in Canada hunted them for food and still have rendered fat in my freezer here in nz ,love watching this stuff
UK here, we only have hedgehogs and badgers thankfully, quick question, would an electric fence deter a bear?
"You should probably get a liking for bear meat before they decide to get a liking for you" 🤣
@@luke-thurston I've seen videos where they set up electric fences for bears in Alaska.
Dont be too proud put your venmo in the description in case people want to donate for gas, food, equipment etc
and maybe UA-cam memberships or a patreon link.
This is a bit of a repeat comment I made above, but def let the ads roll every time instead of skipping. Makes a pretty sizeable difference in earnings
Also, Shawn, you wouldn't be getting money for nothing. You're entertaining people and inspiring them and putting yourself out there so people can learn. Your content has value.... which can't be said for a lot of youtube content.
You're so close to the water table, you could probably bang in a sandpoint well right next to your cabin. Bushradical and his wife drink the water straight from the ground.
The clay is impervious, I have it at my place at Eaglet Lake
Shawn, another great video young man. Enjoy them so much. Love seeing what the days hold for you. So you didn't get a lot of construction done this episode....no problem. Life happens and we do what we got to do. I am in agreement with a lot of the other posters, I think that bear has been given plenty of warning, I don't like his no fear attitude. Take him and share the meat if you don't want it, you gotta watch out for #1.
I was thinking as I was watching that I really want to be a patreon to your channel. Not sure why you are against it, don't look at it as charity, it's your friends wanting to help you through giving. You give to us each week, and a lot of us are living a dream through your videos, please allow us to help you thrive. Then instead of worrying about gas and food, you can think about a larger chain saw, a new trimmer, larger solar bank or other tools to help clear that path. We are watching your channel take hold right before our eyes, the numbers are starting to go up faster!!! Keep those videos coming, you're doing a great job and we are enjoying it so much.
TOTALLY AGREE JEFF🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊
Great channel dude, just binge watched all your episodes. Now can’t wait for next week.
Much love from Australia🤘
Personally, I like when you talk, it let's us know what you're thinking. It helps us connect more. I'm Rootin' for ya', Shawn. You're going to make it. 😉
Nice Intro! When that bear reached his paw out and touched the firewood after you said "dont touch my firewood" had me laughing! That being said I would definetly make bear stew/sausage out of him and a nice rug/throw! The ones that keep coming back are the ones you really worry about especially early spring/late fall if they have any issues with food you know where they are coming first!. Really appreciate you spending the time it takes to work on your editing and stuff but I know while i appreciate it, your getting what you need to get done this season so that you can safely winter seems most important! You will have all winter to edit/upload as long as you have your setup safely prepared/stocked for a winter! Your editing/photo skills, camera presence is getting better each video and will continue to do so just out of stuff you learn along the way like anything! Thanks so much for documenting for those of us that are living vicariously through you even way down here in Florida.
Enjoying your videos. A can of brightly colored spray paint has a lot of good uses. Shovel handles can be spotted easily, marking trails, etc
Shawn, I have a suggestion that may help you to find the spring on your property.. Find the water runoff from your spring, start by walking or floating the river until you find water flowing from your property into the river, if its a creek then walk up the creek to find a flow into the creek, then follow that flow to hopefully find your spring or continue that process until hopefully it brings you to your spring..😅 Seems it would be easier to start off that way than trying to hack through the overgrowth, which you still may need to do. (And carry a marine grade air horn with you as you search, sounding it off every so often to scare bear or moose or other wild animals). May or may not land you at your spring. If the spring is on the side of the river you're living on now then try doing the same thing, & maybe follow that freshwater stream you show in the your next video #16, it may lead you to your spring. Then, if you do have to look through the overgrowth, wear a mosquito net hood, also there is copper dowsing or divining rods &/or certain types of wood branches you can use to find water.. Just some ideas. Wishing you the best in finding your spring! Love your channel! 😊 P.S. Your glasses look cool!
In regards to solar, I believe this is a Bluetti EB240. Good choice! So this one can take a max imput from solar of 500W. Your pannels are 210W. They give you 185W ... so great pannels. You can plug 2 pannels in parallel. You will get an input of +/- 400W/hour. Since the battery on that unit 2400 watt hours. Charging it in full sun is about 6 hours. You can only plug in anything that pulls 1000W or less (these older units are limited).
So, on a sunny day, during daylight. You can run something big for an hour or so... without impacting your max battery charge. Good time to charge 18-24V batteries. So I would plug a few batteries. You have about 1500 to 2000W available of sunlight that your bluetti onboard battery doesn't use. Plug everything at the same time; The Bluetti BMS will manage it all. Everything will be charge in a normal 10 hours of full daylight summer day. Just a suggestion to maximize what you have available 😊
Valuable information to share with Shawn!!👍🏻 👍🏻
Until you know he has read this comment I suggest you consider re-posting this each week..😅
Beaver dam tip: If you can get some ABS pipe sections, you can use them to drain the pond without the beaver stopping it. The key is making sure both ends of the pipe are below water as much as possible - beavers dam based on the sound of trickling water. Either by burying it in the dam, or making a siphon. If they can't find the leak, they'll eventually abandon the dam. You just have to get enough cross section (like 3-5 1.5" sections) to drain a dam that size. But it is a lot of work... you have to check on it a couple times a month. but otherwise you'll constantly be moving your trail/bridge as the dam gets higher.
Cant let those damn beavers win.
Don't apologize for enjoying what you worked and still working hard for... ENJOY 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Want to know why I love watching your channel? Because I have dreamed of doing what you are doing since I was 7 years old.
Practically speaking you are really helping me finalize all the small details to accomplish that goal. So please keep doing what you are doing. The small things matter, what gear, redundant tools etc. keep up the great work and I hope that this pays off for you!
I really am liking your adventure brother, thanks for bringing us along with you
Love seeing the subscriber count growing each week and look forward to each new video every Thursday. I love the authentic content. Keep up the good work. So many people rooting for you.
Hit the 👍 and help a dude living his dream.
To me, that bear looked mean and ready to throw down! Please be safe out there. We really like your videos and want to see more! Take care!
Ways you can help him out is to let commercials run, click on Like, Subscribe if your not, share the video and if he posts his Venmo we can donate to his video craft. 😊😊
Just found this channel last weekend and I’m already caught up. I’m also a bc resident. Camp life for years etc. this is the best channel on UA-cam! Please keep it going. Thanks for the content
My 10th channel is ok
Me too lol
I love the way he touched the firewood after you told him not to. Stay safe! Loving your videos ❤
19,000 people can't be wrong , this guys entertaining and is real , like n comment after watching, remembering it's BEAR V SHAWN .. v homestead. Love his work ❤!!!!
📢Shawn, Please get a AIR HORN to scare the bears away. I've seen them work when shouting did NOT work. I posted this last week, not sure you saw it. Joel added to make sure the air horn is marine grade as they are even louder. Keep it with the bear spray & your gun & on you at all times. For bear spray to work they have to get fairly close which you would prefer not happen.. And you don't want to rely on just ammunition as it will be pricey. Also get some type of tool belt that will fit both the air horn & bear spray in, would be easy to always have on you. This is important Shawn. And definitely going to need to put down the bear that keeps coming on your property before he puts you down!! I heard spring black bear can have a sweet taste to the meat & if you still don't like the taste then make sausage with lots of spices in it or give it away but I definitely for see you needing to put down bear at some point, plus they are over populated, however the air WILL help you scare them away!! I'm going to keep posting this message until I know you've seen it. 😉
P.S. Make sure you post a P.O. Box address for the followers that want to gift you tools & supplies, don't let pride stop you, we're your friends! 🥰
Yeah you're right you need to get a marine grade air horn to scare the bears away where Bells when you're walking through the bush and if you're using bear spray my suggestion is that the big can that shoots at a farther but it means that you got a damn close to the bear like I said in my past post I always carry out auto loading shotgun we have number fours two of them and then a slug now my shotgun doesn't have a plug so I can load six rounds so I load it to number fours and then slugs because if I have to kill a bear I just have to till it but the first two shots are just scare the bear away because I don't want to have to kill the bear. I had an experience where I was hunting squirrels up in the Northern British Columbia at my cousin's place and I didn't see the bear until it was almost on me and it was my over and under I was carrying but I had sevens shot and I was lucky that it was a young bear it was an older bear he would have just wore me to pieces that's why if I've been very territory I carry my auto loader just to be on the safe side. The other thing you can do but I've done camping in really heavy bird territory just get the hottest peppers you can get your hands on wrap them in bacon and set them out on the trail actually it's bacon and aluminum foil so the bear can't just spit it out that's one thing we used to do is also take old paint spray cans that I still have 75% of the pain in them that we don't use anymore wrap bacon and tin foil around it and the Bears would fight on that thing of paint and get out mouth full of exploding paint and a bear would never come back they learn to do learn pretty good and the other thing that works pretty good because Bears use their nose is crushed hot peppers and they sell them in huge bags you can get them on eBay and other places like 5 lb bag of crushed red pepper with the seeds in them and spreading that out around your place and when the Bears take a big sniff of that it gets into their nose and really messes them up they don't like it
What a wild life. I love watching. I appreciate your patience with the bear.
He can't be patient !! Danger !!
Shawn, I realize you are a city guy. The bear did not "come by to say hi", and telling it not to touch your firewood will not work. These are wild apex predators, they are not dogs. For your protection you have to be firm. A dog or two would be of great value. These bears MUST be harassed EVERY time they come to your property until they associate you as a danger. Ensure your rifle is always fully loaded and close by. You can try spraying pepper spray around your property, but it will need to be applied almost daily. It's easy to let your guard down, but that's when Murphys Law occurs, just like your camera batteries. Possibly a small smoldering fire with green branches will create enough smoke to keep them away. Bears hate fire. Smoke is a good deterrent. Cooking smoke however is an attractant. I admire your gumption. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off. Remember you have about 100 days until the snow... Be safe and good luck. You're doing OK. 👌👍
Spraying ammonia around the boundary may work too but he should probably fill that tag and donate the meat.
Great advice
At last someone who speaks sense, makes a change from all the " kill it before it kills you lot ' ...... He needs to learn about bears and get some fire crackers for a start
@@cm-oo1td He's already fired the rifle in it's direction, fire crackers probably won't do much. Ammonia might be too late as well, it's already seeing his property as a source of food even if it hasn't ate any scraps there. Hoping the bear moves on for its own sake but if not its next home may be a freezer.
Don’t beat yourself down… you are doing a really amazing job.. you have tons of courage and enthusiasm… and you seem like a great fighter.. don’t give up and stay positive… you got this..
I would get some Bear Bells, Bear Spray. Not cool he keeps coming back. Stay safe out there. Really enjoying the Thursday Videos. Dog would also be a good idea :)
Thanks Shawn for letting us into your everyday life and sharing. Please take care where that bear is concerned! He was definitely sizing you up!!
Coffee, and Cabin-River-Outdoors. Cheers from Van Isl
Best Channel on UA-cam!!!! THX for sharing your adventure with us!!!!
Well you know what they say about problem bears?
They're absolutely delicious.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉❤
Back with another action-packed epispde! Woooo! I love Thursdays 😁 My heart was pumping there a couple times. The falling tree was a tad concerning, and of course, your bear friends. I dont think he wants to be friends though, i mean, you're kinda the coolest, and he'd be lucky to have you as a friend, but im pretty sure these kinds of friendships dont end well 😬
Can't wait to see the goodies you got in your package! Be safe!! See you next Thursday ❤️
In my temperate zone, Denmark, Europe, it is neccesary to take all the bark of lumber in order to prevent insect attacs. The bark is a nesting ground for wood eating bugs. Kind regards
Another great video! As someone else commented, everyone is pulling for you!
Hey Shawn, I think your videos really get somewhere. Have been watching for quite some time. At least for me, especially this video really tells the story of your days in a unusual, rough cut, closeup, very real way. Looking forward to how your story continues. For the money situation, please don't underestimate how much a little help with tools from companies or viewers can speed up and stabilize your progress.
Just found your channel earlier this week & I've watched all your videos 😅 Loving the content, hearing your thoughts & the uniqueness of your location, truly inspiring. Currently living the society life in town with my family with plans to homestead in the near future, I was a carpenter for 8 years so I'm excited to finally put those skills to use for myself. While we save & learn in the meantime I'm enjoying consuming all the off grid living/homesteading content I can, so glad I found your channel. So sorry to see the ol'reliable weed whacker go, Keep up the good work I truly hope Living on UA-cam Income Is a dream come true for you, I surely will be here to cheer for you along the way!
P.S Don't be afraid to upload small snippets of either info or updates, educational things ETC even the channel trailer as UA-cam Shorts, Short form content even just peppered in, can do loads for exposure & discoverability even just small pieces of an upcoming upload, Much Love
Following the big ones but I do like your channel. So “unpolished “😁 and honest. Hang on there you’re doing great!
LOL your comments on mental stability and the jungle consuming your thoughts!! 😅 I seriously get that. Love your property and the river. Big dreams...hard work...piece of paradise.👍😎🇨🇦
P S. Samsquatches need spade shovels too!😅
I dont know what kind of shape you were in before you started this, but you will be in great shape when you're finished👍💪
Balance bud.... all about balance... too much fun, not enough production.. too much production, not enough fun..... you are quite remarkable and , IMHO , will do extremely well in you venture. Genuine content is the best and you are nailing it ! Keep at er bud :)
Shawn, unfortunately you need to take care of this bear. This guy was circling your camp and you. It may only be some time until there is a much bigger problem. Be safe.
Good morning from Alaska keep talking we’re listening enjoying your videos.
You are too kind for that bear. As soon as you see any bear you need to make more noise than kind talk. The gun has a sharp noise but I think more noise is needed to scar that bear off.
Thanks again for bringing us along, keep doing what you’re doing. I look forward to Thursdays and the laugh and smiles you give me. Totally envious of what you are doing! Hope you decide to take patron or publish a P.O. Box. Also get some sponsors like ECO Flow, they would love to give you some great solar gear for your setup. Keep up the great content!
I thoroughly enjoy your vlog. Keep them comi ng. I admire your courage. Thank you for taking us along with you on this journey.
I am glad you are taking time to enjoy and explore your surroundings as we get to enjoy them too
Epic show, thank you for sharing it with the world.
Much Appreciated.
I'm not sure what reasons you have about not having patreon or subscription, but if you had, I'd have loved to have contributed somehow. Love following your content and seeing how you tackle the challenges that you come up against. I think that there are so many people watching that have only dreamed of what you are doing.👍
Shawn we're all routing for you!! Lovin the vids. You really should get a dog or dogs to run off and warn you of the bears.
I generally put my bluetti in the shade behind my solar panel so it stays relatively cool; you don't want to let it get additional heat... just a thought from the Appalachian mountains...
A GOOD thought Susan❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
I understand you don't want anyones help. But if a person sends a gift. I would feel a bit upset if the gift wasnt excepted. On the other hand I would feel great to get a thank you in response. Even Native Americans gave gifts to one another. I know you probably dont have time to read this but if you dobread it perhaps you might rethink receiving a gift that obviously comes from someones heart. You have a great channel. People feel great when they can feel connected by giving a gift. Thank you so much for another great video.
Been watching you since the first video. Shawn you know there are so many of us here that truly think your a great guy and wish we could help. Sponsors often will send you free stuff you can keep if you mention in video. A wish list would be nice too if you think you can do it.
I have to agree on the bear and I'm glad your armed. I know your on your guard. I'm a nature lover too but always be watchful. Your doing great!
Sure can tell you're Canadian, you gave that bear every chance before firing a warning shot. Nothing wrong with being Canadian, I'm also Canadian.
You can also tells he is Canadian, because the first thing he thought of when looking at the pond was making an ice skating rink!!😉
Im boat, float plane and sled access only and do everything solo, tough to watch you struggle. Cut lumber cannot be used for 1 year minimum. You're gonna learn the hard way if you build with green lumber.
Another great video. Fascinating seeing the bear although I personally would find it hard to relax with it persisting and circling. Stay safe.
Hi Chap, I’m Lisa from England and I’ve just started watching your channel. I’ve just quit work so have time on my hands for some fabulous content, thank you x
Shes hinting bro...
@@leonjewells3626 😂
Coming along nicely it’s not a race. You should get some of those river rocks and make yourself a nice entrance for your new cabin.
Shawn, fellow B.C. guy from the Okanagan here. I think I’m gonna pull the trigger on a property in the Quesnel area. 160 acres of off grid paradise. We will be talking soon….
Topley has some nice places. Pretty sure this guys by Smithers.
I'm near Burns Lake, BC. Boat, float plane and sled access only.
@@AwakeningWARRlOR deadly!! Love that area, cheslotta river!
@@AwakeningWARRlOR As I teen I tree planted out of Burns Lake for a couple years.
@@gorillagoldhuntersThe falls is incredible, filmed it a couple winters ago, see video, or not.
Finding gold would be another level, it would be amazing. I'm holding thumbs for you.👍🙏
Keep talking to us we understand that you get lonely. But I admire anyone that can live like this without a partner. Keep up the good work love your videos. I’m a new subscriber!
That excange a tank is a rip off. Its $14 to fill but they charge $35
Dont worry about the grass get the dangerous trees sorted ! Make good choices
FYI That bear can close that gap between you in under 2 seconds. How fast can you grab protection?
Why does it matter if its the same bear? lol. Go give him a hug
Keeping the grass and brush under control really helps keep the mosquito and black fly populations under control.
Enjoy watching your progress Mate. All the best from Liverpool UK.... YNWA
The environment so beautiful I can watch your video all day. May God bless you abundantly.
Dude I really hope you can do the tube. Love the videos. Like I said last week I'm a retired construction worker in Florida digging what you do. The yard is looking good 👍🏻.
I sure hope you can make it on your you tube money because i am rooting for you . Your dream is my dream. Keep up the good work.
I believe you are blessed, and am very excited to watch your channel grow, and your landscape developed weekly!! Keep the strength man, you got this!!🙏👍👍👍😉Love from all your friends out here in Y-Tube Land!!
I d love to have a property like this to escape the city of NY. I just wouldn't know what to do about those bears. I would have been their meal before the first sunrise. I absolutely love your content. Watched all episodes end to finish, including all the commercials to help support in any way l can. Good luck to you !
These videos are amazing, you should really consider starting a Patreon to make extra income. I think you could find enough people interested in seeing longer/less edited videos on there and to be able to ask you more questions.
If you had a paintball gun you could scare him that way, and you'll be able to tell if he came back. He definitely doesn't look too scared, you are probably his first human encounter.
Excellent - I recomended rubber bullets(low-velocity 00-12 gauge shell or BB/Pellet ait rifle(also good for Grouse+Hares).
I dream of doing the same thing. Can't imagine doing everything without a mill and tractor. Glasses are fine, don't worry about it.
Love the content. As always, can’t wait for next week.
Stay safe and we’re all thinking of ya
A bear bell could come in handy, though its irritating to hear all the time, it should keep bears away. Also bear spray and I take a small "personal" alarm for sound if needed too.
The one shot of the beaver pond and possible dam showed its not likely a recent build, especially if greenery is growing on the dam. It could be multigenerational or abandoned. Good to test by taking a small amount away to drain the top few inches and see if its re-dammed within a few days. If not, then good to remove a bigger chunk and drain it. Otherwise it will be tough to constantly manage with live beavers. Please also keep in mind the kits are still being born till end of the month, so draining the pond could impact them in the lodge and expose them to predators.
I admit it; I am so envious. I will follow along with your journey.
Those bears are absolutely magnificent, although I'm not oppressed to having bear meat on my freezer. Great video. I look forward to Thursdays now.
It dos'nt mater wen you get nothing done, you enjoy yourself !! En entertain us. Rob from the Netherlands.
I like it when you talk in your videos. You are on a very interesting journey. Love your channel. You afe going to do great. Wales, UK. You are reaching around the world. 👍
The thing about a channel like yours is that it kind of forms a community of people with the same interests in a way. Communities help each other out right? Don’t not accept help if it’s offered, it’s ok, because people like to help things they believe in. You got a lot of people out there rooting for you! I wish I could do what you’re doing. My back injury says I can’t so I live vicariously through people like you and get a lot of enjoyment from it.
Please watch your back with that bear wandering around. I enjoy watching your videos.
Pick up some cheap bells and attach to your pack when venturing into the bush. Also buy an air horn - much louder and easily accessible, more so than a large rifle.
Great video again this week. I like your filming style. Keep living the good life.
THE PIONEERS WITH AN AX AND CRUDE SAWS WOULD CUT DOWN A HUNDRED ACRES OF TREES AND UNDERBRUSH FOR GRAZING CATTLE. I USED A CHAIN SAW AND IT SUCKED THE ENERGY FROM ME. THE THOUGHT OF CHOPPING DOWN LARGE TREES WITH AN OLD AX IS MIND BLOWING. I HAVE TRIED AND IT ATE ME UP...ONE TREE. IMAGINE CHOPPING DOWN HUNDREDS. THE PIONEER MEN WERE MEN OF IRON.
Wow... What a big beautiful property you have. I sincerely hope you can support yourself with youtube. and that you will feel less time pressured as you get more and more into your life out there. Thank-you for sharing your experience. I for one will keep watching.
You are a brave man, I would have definitely have taken care of that bear by now. It is getting too comfortable in your camp. Great content. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration.
I came across your channel just yesterday. Being a fellow Canadian I thought I'd follow along.
Regarding the bear(s), please see my comment from your previous(?) video. In the meantime, I would try using a sound that's out of place in the bear's environment: banging metal together? Maybe starting your chainsaw or string trimmer(?) or possibly you might cut some wood to baseball-sized pieces and throwing it at the bear(?)
Honda Power Products are ALWAYS worth the extra money because they just keep on going and going ... ! A former neighbour had his tracked snowblower for over 27 years and it was still going strong (In Ottawa, when we were still getting plenty of snow!🤥
Take good care! Can't wait to see what's next!
