I didn't know what you were doing until you explained it. Lol. How neat you can do that! Very impressive all you are capable of doing. Thank you for sharing your life's journey and inspiring us to try to be self sufficient; we are all the better for it. Blessings and kisses for Calli.👵💌🐕🌲🌱🍃😊🎶🍄🍄🍄
Everything will be fine.. The heat will come! If you haven't shaken by now, you will be able to overcome all adversities .. At the beginning of the year, you were talking about the workshop and now it seems like it's been there for years. I will wait to see a recipe with your own mushrooms .. Good job.
Thank you Shawn for allowing us to be apart of your journey & learn So much! May The Lord continue to Bless you & yours. From an elder living beside a River that is in virgin Cross timbers in Oklahoma.
Thank you for the explanation of your previous video. As a viewer of your channel, there’s a reason we watch your great videos.... We like to learn new things! Keep up the awesome videos brother.
If you ever live here full time, I’d get a Suffolk punch horse, , horse hockey is hot, and great for heAting up cold frames, to start spring plants in, like Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, etc. Suffolk punches are known for having great temperaments, and are cold blooded, not a handful, like hot blooded breeds., but are still heavy pulling draft horses, and eat very little, and in a vehicle snafu, you’d still have a ride out, and calli would love her. Also, if you grow a patch of field corn for your horse, save the cobs, as they burn way hotter than wood. When it was 20 below zero F, and the wood in the wood stove still wouldn’t heat the kitchen, I’d throw in a half bucket of corn cobs, and within minutes, it was warm as toast. You are an amazing provider. God bless you.
Mother Earth magazine had an article years ago on naturally heated cold frames that had a layer of horse manure at the bottom with layers between to prevent the manure from burning the plants.
Oh man, I FEEL the retakes without cuts. You know what you want to say, but you keep messing up, and you don't want to reset, so you just keep going. So happy to see you kept that in.
Sir! I really apprciated the editing lack, it gave an even deeper honesty to your posts. You are so genuine, so motivated; and such a joy to follow. Thankyou for all your hard work, it helps me relax after hard graft. Take care. m
We did Shiitake on Bitch a few years back. We had success in a year. Unfortunately I learned that my stomach doesn’t like that variety. My partner ended up taking the harvests. Wild marsh mushrooms are my favourite and we have plenty on the farm!
On the Townsends channel, Season 1 Episode 12, they cover making mushroom ketchup (it comes out like worcestershire sauce, made from the liquids of the recipe) and mushroom powder (made from the solids, dehydrated & ground down a bit). From all accounts it's quite good, and I'd imagine it would go fantastic on any number of game meats. ...I can't try it myself because I'm allergic to mushrooms, but Townsends has made or seasoned a lot of foods with mushroom ketchup and/or powder over the years and the comments of those who have made & used it are almost always quite positive.
Whoa, Shawn, thanks so much for today’s video on GROWING MUSHROOMS, I learn something new, as well as the pegs you hammered in to the logs. You are a very knowledgeable person. I grow my mushrooms in my greenhouse but I also like your peg’s methods. I am very amateur person yet. (Just 3 years). THANKS👍🏽😀👏🏽
IIRC, mushrooms will fruit after they fully colonise the log. The smaller the log (and larger the number of plugs used) the sonner the log will be fully colonized and the sonner will fruit.
Je regrette de ne pas comprendre votre langue mais c est avec plaisir que je regarde vos vidéos car j apprecie votre travail d autant plus que vous habitez dans un pays magnifique rude mais splendide C est un plaisir de voir votre chien évolué dans le paysage merci 👏👏👏👍👍
Good explanation Shawn - thank you. I was pretty certain it was the shrooms but am glad to know the wax part. Great idea to dehydrate them for use as you need. In our house, there is no such thing as too many mushrooms and a supper without them is almost unheard of. Great healthy protein and delicious too. Can't beat that.
While watching the part of yesterday's video about inserting the mushroom dowels, I immediately recognized what you were doing. I love mushrooms. I always have dehydrated shiitake and porcini mushrooms in my pantry, plus fresh mushrooms in a cloth bag in the fridge. I know some people hate mushrooms and they think they are nasty or slimy, but I think that's only because they were not cooked or prepared properly.
Belle journée Shawn..il y a des vidéos où vous bossez D'autres où vous expliquez..d'autres où vous faites les deux..je suis admirative pour tout ce que vous faites...vous connaissez la chanson de Gainsbourg?..le poinçonneur des Lilas..'' moi je fais des petits trous, des petits trous, toujours des petits trous''!..😁 je vous mettrai le lien🙂 très belle vidéo
Strange, have no clue how to grow mushroom spores yet had the weird notion that’s what you were doing in Friday’s video. 🤔🤔🤔 Maybe I’m learning more than I realize after all the replays in 2020/21. Thanks Shawn. Hope you find your maple plugs and buckets to reap a good sugar harvest. Looks beautiful out there. Have a great weekend and Happy St, Patrick’s day to you and your wife in March 17th. May the luck of the Irish be with you all. ☘️ 🍀 🍁 🍁😂
So happy you explained the logs. I was very curious as to what your plans were for the logs. I love mushrooms both raw and cooked. Have a blessed day, stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰👍👌🙏🇺🇸🙏🇨🇦🙏
Yeah! I just did not know how u have muchooms.m I can't believe this wonderful nature..thanks for everything you do that gives me a lot of things to do.......
Well I never saw you do that before. I think I've watched all your videos. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. I guess I can't get to excited about seeing the mushrooms if it might take years. O well. I'll be waiting ! Thanks for the video. Have a nice day.
Ha you got me with the mushroom trick .I had no clue what in earth you were up to Mr James. But great idea and I'm glad it's already bore fruit of your labor on the ones from last yr .you should be knee deep in mushrooms next yr or or two. Dang you really are human you had a blooper going there stumbling over your words and didn't edit it out LOL.thanks I was starting to think your were big foot or something LOL JUST KIDDING. I cant believe you didn't put your sap equipment back where ya got it last yr.never seen you leave things just lying around. But I also no your mind was not at its best with all the crap you had to deal with over the moron scaring your wife and daughters and you. So completly understand how things may not have gone as usual with you Shawn. It's so great to see you happy and doing what you love to do for your future. Be safe and healthy 🙏
Now i know what it was! I could not figure out why you were putting dowels into logs, you learn something new each day regardless of how old you get. Hope you find the buckets as they are not cheap, i wondervif plasitc buckets would do the job,? I would imagine that spring will allow you to do more on the cabin as i would have thought that cutting them in winter just allowed the sap to freeze and split the log so they need to be sawn when the sap can dry out . I am waiting to see the plans for the cabin, but still come back to the fact that every video somewhere along the line i can hear that water running even when it looked froozen over ,and i would saw that it would really be a Good supply of energy for the bestv part of the year if not all year. I know that like me you like using the older tools, and indeed many of them work better than any power tools,but a good size table saw would really help things along. Anyway Shawn, all the best with your project, stay well all the best John Australia.
For someone who once confessed to us that he failed grade school English, I'd say he has a supreme command of the language and a rather vast vocabulary. Books!
Around 3 minutes you left some out takes in there. Not sure if it was intentional but it is neat getting a peak behind the scenes at the video making side of things!
Hope you found your tree taps by now. I noticed the plastic collection buckets and wondered if the wind would blow them off if they didn't have enough fluid weight in them.
thx for the explanation thats awesome ive learned so much from your vids I was lost on that one wax instead of fat good seeing you again God bless be safe up there .
Hello Shawn : I was very curious as what You were nailing into the logs .Thanks for the explanation . There is a type of mushroom. I used to pick in NS , called Fairy mushrooms ( flat top mushroom ) rather small mushroom perhaps what You called Chantrall very numerous ( grows in short grass ) . If they really are white Fairy they may not grow in Ontario . I used to pick them 2x a week . Totally edeble .. I put them on a Steak or in a salad . Mike .

Good job.
I'm blown away at how far you've come in this new 2nd homestead. Great Job. Very exciting.
I'm learning many things while enjoying your work !

The different takes starting at 3:00 made me chuckle. He is human after all!
Thanks Shawn for answering my questions. Your living the Dreams of many
Canadian cabin life Shawn.
I figured it out in the main video. But that was part of the fun of watching. Trying to figure out what you're doing.
thanks for explaining about the mushrooms ,i had no idea what it was you were doing .
I pray you have a over abundance of mushrooms and maple syrup to make your sugar. Thank you for teaching others. God bless always!
Oh that's why you drilled the holes. Cool!
We even got some double, and triple takes in this video. Love the power of overlooking an edit😂
Thank you for the explanation of your previous video. As a viewer of your channel, there’s a reason we watch your great videos.... We like to learn new things! Keep up the awesome videos brother.

Fermenting the mushrooms and then dry them and make it a powder to put in food is especially healthy to. I'm impressed that your growing them!
Oh man, I FEEL the retakes without cuts. You know what you want to say, but you keep messing up, and you don't want to reset, so you just keep going. So happy to see you kept that in.

Thank you for the information on the mushroom plugs 😉
Good Saturday Shawn & Cali🐕! Shiitake mushroom is delicious, nutritious and high in vitamin D.
👍😋 🍄
Was waiting for the explanation of the shiitakes...awesome, thanks! You are very much appreciated in our family.
Thanks for the explanation of the Mushroom process (growth). Looking forward to seeing what is produced.💯👍🏾✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Never realized that was how to grow your own mushrooms! Quite clever. Great video Shawn.
ah ha I was wondering what you were dong with them logs. awesome!
So cool, I was sure wondering why on your other video you were drilling a hole and putting plugs in, now it makes since. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for clearing that up. For a minute I thought you'd been doing some magic mushrooms. Didn't know what the heck you were up to.
I got my first flush of shiitake after 5yrs of waiting. They really do take their time on the bigger logs
お疲れ様です🙋椎茸 ❔沢山取れると良いですね🍄😋 子供の頃 👴祖父が家庭用に椎茸栽培してましたね 🍄肉厚でバターソテーやら色々ー…ワクワクします🙆

Great idea, a reliable source of tasty food.
Thank you for explaining the plugs of wood.
I was trying to figure that out!!
I was completely lost, until now.

Hey Shawn l knew what you were doing and l truly appreciate your desire for self reliance, thanks so much. Blessings!!! 👏👍👍👍💯💯💯
Try tapping the birch...it makes excellent syrup...etc...if you have enough trees...
Much love from Switzerland

I got battered by a few commenters cause I too didn't get it about the mushrooms. Nice explanation!!
Awesome idea "planting" your own mushrooms!
That is so interesting how to start mushrooms! We have tons of Morels here in Michigan, my favorite.
So jealous of you & your morels. They’re my favorites but still haven’t found an abundance of them here in Missouri!
I’m with you when it comes to morels
We had some awesome patches in south central Ontario
Yes please do the harvesting of this mushrooms and show us how to do that.Thank you for continuingjyour sharing.
😝 That was very interesting in retrospect.
Thank you for this valuable information on growing mushrooms. You give us so much interesting teachings as you work your property.
Mushrooms dehydrate well and last a long time when dry canned ...great vid.
I am definitely going to try that one.
Love your videos Shawn!! 🔝❄🙋🏻♂️
Thank you Shawn. I was curious about the loft for sleeping
it all makes sense now,thanks
So happy you explained the logs. I was very curious as to what your plans were for the logs. I love mushrooms both raw and cooked.
Have a blessed day, stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰👍👌🙏🇺🇸🙏🇨🇦🙏
I was like maybe he's putting those pegs in the log so it won't split lol, now that you explained it...
Hi Michigan love our Morel mushrooms here
Very interesting, hope you get a big abundance of them.
Thanks for a more complete explanation Shawn, an excellent and informative short!
Greating from Poland
Thank you for giving explanation about drilling logs. I was so curious,.
Good morning from SE Louisiana 15 Mar 21.

Yes let us know. where this shiitake mushrooms grow beside enpregnating the log.
Loved yesterday’s video, wondered what the wax was.
Nice bit of blooper at 3:15
Take care! Be sure to enjoy carving these paths for yourself.
Ha you got me with the mushroom trick .I had no clue what in earth you were up to Mr James.
But great idea and I'm glad it's already bore fruit of your labor on the ones from last yr .you should be knee deep in mushrooms next yr or or two.

Your videos are always interesting
For someone who once confessed to us that he failed grade school English, I'd say he has a supreme command of the language and a rather vast vocabulary. Books!
Thank you for the explanation. I knew it was wax but did not know why you were using it on the logs.
I'm glad you explained what it was you were doing with the plugs. I couldnt figure out that one lmao
Now I understand!!! Didn’t know what you were doing to those logs.
Around 3 minutes you left some out takes in there. Not sure if it was intentional but it is neat getting a peak behind the scenes at the video making side of things!
Hope you found your tree taps by now. I noticed the plastic collection buckets and wondered if the wind would blow them off if they didn't have enough fluid weight in them.
They kind of hang a bit sideways if it's a really gusty wind, but even then, they don't blow off, and they still catch the drips.
Love the MUSHROOMS 🍄
THANK YOU…SIR 👍
Cool! yes mushroom is very healthy, I use it a lot. Try to plant here too.🍄🍄🍄🍄
Hi Shawn and Cali💖
Thanks! Was wondering what you were doing
thx for the explanation thats awesome ive learned so much from your vids I was lost on that one wax instead of fat good seeing you again God bless be safe up there .
I had a feeling it was something to do with mushrooms, and so it is. You go Shawn, producing your own foods can never be a bad thing. UK.
Thanks you my friend 💕💕💕💗😘
Thanks I watch about the drilling and pegging be I didn't have any idea about mushroom , Nice to know.
Always a good video.
Man that was driving me nuts, LOL, I was wondering why you drilled holes, And then filled them back in, lmbo, ok cool
Shawn, if you haven't already check out Paul Stamets. He is a Mycologist who has amazing knowledge of mushrooms. Also he's a really Fungi...
A character on Star Trek Discovery was name after Stamets. That character helped develop a spore propulsion drive for star ships. Fungi rule!
There really isn’t mushroom more for that kind of joke 🍄
FUN GUY and MUCH ROOM!!! Love it! Sorry I have no great comeback to show my appreciation, except thank you!👵😁😁😁👍💕😂
Because I found him I took Turkeytail Mushroom Extract he makes and it cured my breast cancer. He is an awesome man.
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 That is wonderful ! So glad to hear this. Best of luck to you.
I guessed what you were doing...thats awesome...with the mushroom pegs. Watching Dick Preonneke on our local Public channel...
Hello Shawn :
I was very curious as what You were nailing into the logs .Thanks for the explanation .
There is a type of mushroom. I used to pick in NS , called Fairy mushrooms ( flat top mushroom ) rather small mushroom perhaps what You called Chantrall very numerous ( grows in short grass ) .
If they really are white Fairy they may not grow in Ontario .
I used to pick them 2x a week .
Totally edeble ..
I put them on a Steak or in a salad .
Mike .
Fresh home grown mushroom? Yes please!
Thank you for the recap Shawn. But I would still like to know where can I get the dowels and how long can they be stored?
Fantastic I was wondering what you were doing with the logs!! Very cool indeed I might try this myself! Great video as always.
Thanks for explaining. I couldn't figure out what the heck you were doing with those dowels.
