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.

@@yrbuddy77poor little thing but pretty 🤩 he was the cutest boy 👦 in all that world p😅😅😮😮 3:52
How do I start making a traditional house? I am from Morocco. Are you welcome?
@@yrbuddy77 o
Fantastic, that your families are creating this together! I was raised on a farm in Alberta & still crave this lifestyle. Currently, I do what I can to grow & preserve food in my urban home. Thanks for being an inspiration to many! 🤗🇨🇦
This is absolutely what the whole world needs to get back to. I’m very glad you have these channels.
Well, technically, if even 1% of the world population lived like this, we’d have no land left…so while it’s admirable and romantic, it’s absolutely not what the whole world needs to do. Unfortunately.
@@Fras77 No worries, as much work that is required to feed thyself, most people would starve the 1st year. So many that don't have a strong work ethic and probably won't have in years to come even if forced, they will most likely resist as long as someone is around to provide for them.
@@jmalone2758 yes, but alot of those those people have children….
Living “off the grid” is admirable and I love watching the process and experience…but to act like it’s a sustainable solution for human beings en masse is wishful and careless thinking.
In the near future we may not have a choice….we most likely will witness the collapse of a civilization
@@Fras77 You’re exactly right - this is interesting content but not a realistic way to live for broader society. Shawn is extremely privileged to be able to make money sharing content on this platform. His success is owed in no small part to modern technology and being able to reach a wide audience at no cost. Without UA-cam, computers, modern audio and video equipment, data centers, server farms, high speed internet, modern manufacturing technology, automobiles etc. this would not exist in this form.
There are many reasons why society moved on from this lifestyle. There’s good and bad that comes with that, but to be able to choose this as a lifestyle is both a novelty and an immense privilege afforded by modern advancements. Glorifying this lifestyle without acknowledging the huge drawbacks is disingenuous, Shawn will always rely on modern society to some degree.
We bought an old ranch home a couple of years ago on two acres with the thought that if our grown kids and their families needed a place to live they can come here. You were our inspiration for doing so. We upgraded the junction box, replaced all the water lines and gas lines, repaired the pole barn and small outbuilding, put in a carport by the side porch as use to sit, cook outdoors, and park the vehicles away from hail, heat, snow, and ice, put in a hidden storage area for food, water, and firewood, installed gfci plugs, and put in a new water heater. We are not off grid, but it is the best we knew how to do in our seventies. The carport that was built adjacent to the house was taken in as living space and if needed can be made into three additional bedrooms. We are ready for anything that comes our way. We are surrounded by rivers for water. Thank you Shawn for your educating us these past few years on how to be self reliant.
Still following you at Rosalia’s Mexican Restaurant in SC! Started following you when I was going through a very hard time mentally and emotionally. Dealing with a LOT of anxiety. You inspired and encouraged me. Despite failure. Despite defeat GET UP! Make it happen. I went from sitting in an apartment to now being a land owner (around 50 acres total now). It’s still hard every day but I’m IN THE FIGHT. EVERY DAY! Thanks be to God for putting YOU in front of ME! May your family be blessed. May your fields and orchards and vineyards be blessed. May you prosper and inspire and teach. May you also learn. May peace rule over you all the days of your long life. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Thank you and congratulations!
You saw in the future you had to do something to protect your family. That is what a man does. Goes after what is needed to protect his family. You’ve done a brilliant job! I know your family feels safe. God bless you and fam♥️✝️
I've purchased 43 acres, installing multiple wells, solar systems, ground tube -a/c heating, and bio gas for cooking and hot water. Fish ponds, food , fruit orchards, and already producing commercial crops.
That's awesome. Have you thought about videoing it for youtube? It sounds like something I'd watch 😊
You're growing and evolving as your needs change,thank you for taking us along ❤your channels.
Good luck Shawn! What an smart move. You have grown in significant ways while also overcoming numerous challenges. Way to adapt. Thanks for the update!
I think we all need to go this way .God bless..❤️🙏🌹
😆😆🥰 Sounds like you are building a new ‘JAMES TOWN’ Shawn! Oh, I would love to be at your age and living this dream! My husband George and I used to have dreams like this when we were young….but now, at 74 years old…..I vicariously live out those dreams by watching you. ❤️🥰
Jamestown it’s a weird comparison.
Love the idea of having a family compound where everyone is self sustained and taking care of each other. This is my Dream for my family and our future. Just having a hard time getting everyone on board.🥰❤️
Exactly this for me too. So so happy for Shawn and his family. I really want this for my family too, but so difficult to get people on board, they are so used to the convenient life that they are prepared to trade some of their freedoms for it. I see things differently though and only hope they will come to appreciate a different kind of lifestyle too.
Things can get really messy hatfields and mccoys style just keep that in mind. Small town syndrome etc..
Congratulations on your new homestead , that’s awesome ! Cali is happy now and with the new homestead, and family community she will be even happier 😍🐕
Wonderful! I'm preparing to move out to our family cabin on land that has been in our family for over 100 yrs. It is on 90 acres in the Cherokee National Forest area and I am so happy to learn everything you show us! I won't have livestock, but I do hope to have chickens and a food garden as well as putting an off grid tiny cabin on the upper end of the land for family. So excited to finally be able to move into nature and be self-sufficient!
There's something so lovely about you and your sister being close enough to want to live on the same land.
I'm subscribing to this incredible addition you'll be to the whole family. You've got quite a task ahead of you. Your knowledge and experience will be a great asset in creating a productive old farm.anew.
Ive been watching this channel for many years enthralled with what you were doing and hoping someday i could take a similar path. My wife and I with our youngest son fly out in 2 days to spend 1.5weeks looking at 50+ acre properties to start our homestead on. Nervous? SO NERVOUS, somehow happy and excited about the potential of leaving a 25+yr career with great pay and benefits to live closer to the land and with far less reliance on others to ensure my family has food. Your channel and a few others like Simple living Alaska have been my happy place for so long while i live most of my life in the concrete box dreaming of one day doing that as well. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your videos and one things for sure ill still be watching in what little time i have between chores/projects as we build our homestead! Much love from Florida (my hell on earth weather wise) soon to be northern Maine!
Yeah that Florida heat would kill me man.Northern Maine that,s more like it.Good luck to you.Cheers from Eugenia Ontario.
@@tedlivermore6955 It’s brutal and for well over half the year. I could manage it when I was 22 but now at nearly 48 it’s taken it’s toll for sure.
Wish I had family ❤! I'm sitting here by myself feeling bad . Sorry ! I'm just a lonely old Lady. Miss all my family that has pass away
Im in the same condition modom, but I see it as less pain in the neck.
So sorry to hear you are alone... Me too and sometime is very hard even I'm not very old. Take good care of your self and God bless you.
Yeah, the modern world and feminism sure was a lie wasn’t it? (Hugs)
Happily subscribed on all things SJ!!! Good luck Family, keep safe, have fun and enjoy!
I feel good to see you're getting self reliance and good to hear you😊 when I first found you on UA-cam I didn't hear a word out of your mouth and I don't know why as a grandma I kept watching maybe you remind about skills I grew up around and that you've got.I dont have the strength to do any of what you do but I really admire your skills.
. I'm American and I'm try as best as I can in the city to do a bit of prepping to.
I also watch CANADIAN PREPPER from time to time.
Keep doing what you're doing and I look forward to seeing your production.
Put God first and he will provide.
You are a jack and master of several trades. I always look forward to your great posts. Thank you for taking us with you. God speed and be careful. 😍
Haven't watched in about a year ... not surprised things have changed !
Hope more people start to understand why itself reliance is so important.
WE the people

P. S. Put up a tree in the name of my son ! His name was Laramey Lamphear ! Her would of love it there! ! Thank you
Really nice my friend, love your content. Wish everyone the best of luck on all you do. Lot’s of hard work, but it will pay off in the end. You are a great inspiration to many people. Thank you very much. Your friend from Tennessee.
beautiful property and fine old home.
It has been a while since I’ve watched your videos. I started following you back in 2020, it’s awesome to see the growth of your homestead and new homes. Very inspiring Shawn.
I am practising self reliance but with the health. My doctor gave me more doses with blood pressure pills to force the pressure down against the will of the body. Until I thought Na, not the way to do it. So I use the new technology that we do have for blood pressure and blood sugar + cardiac exercise. I'm down from ≈160 down to 123 (133) using 25% medication. That's self reliance Baby 💪
Yes thats the way to go! Me too.
Yeah baby! self-reliance
Shawn, you're morphing into Indiana Jones lol
I really like seeing more of the homesteading, self-sufficiency and preparedness. There's a storm coming. Something wicked this way comes. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear can feel it.
Indeed.
They know he's there. Satellite.
@@donnadiesburg7451 What is this about (?) and what does it have to do with being prepared or self-reliance? Weird comment
You always seem to find ways to amaze me, Shawn.
I built houses and metal buildings for years.. we fixed up a lot of old barns like that; which were falling down and leaning and caving in and roofs collapsing, etc.. It doesn't take much to get them pushed around with a few bottle jacks and beef everything back up again. Well worth doing.
This has always been my dream my whole life! Unfortunately it takes money which sadly I don’t have. But I do what I can to be as self sufficient as I possibly can. From gardening to installing my wood stove which has been the best insurance investment I’ve ever made! If only I could win the lottery. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy watching your channel.
I love all you channel and information. I live in an apartment. But I do a lot of homestead in a minimal way. You inspire me to do as much as possible. That is how I grew up.❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a perfect idea, family supporting family, sharing skills and Cali protecting you all❤
Love them old barns.....
You are an amazing man. You really make things look great. I love to be on land with no one around you. ❤
Congratulations on your new adventure all planned for a while it's going to be a great show and I can't wait to watch it😊
I don’t understand how you have enough time to do all you are describing. I have a small home and yard and most of the time I feel overwhelmed with all the work it takes to keep it neat and tidy with no frills.
It sounds like six full time jobs.
Farmland life seems to be a lot of fun. I enjoy watching your videos. Very good
Could we see a tour of your sisters farm??? Love your videos…so happy for you
I'm excited to watch the new channel and see where it leads. Also, I can't wait to see Cali around live stock. She's a calm dog and should do well. 🤗 Shawn, with my hectic and stressful job, I need wholesome shows like yours to calm the beast in me after work. Thanks, for the calm tone in your voice. 😊
Very excited about the new channel, this is my dream.
How exciting! Can't wait to start watching this new content. Amazing!
I have been following you. only by getting rid of dependence can you avoid being controlled. You are the first sober person in the world!
That is one smart move. Considering this life challenges and the direction its moving to. Good luck.
Im sure Trudeu will tax you for fresh air :D Keep it up, you inspire me to do the same soon.
Based on the overhead view of the ground, it looks like y’all will need a larger tractor for the field work. The small one would work in & around the buildings. Look forward to the new channel.
This is EPIC! So glad to witness your adventures!
The youtube channel Speed used your opening song during one of their videos. It's wild how branded that song has become to you for me. It was like a pavlovian response when I heard it. I am sure it's just a non copyright song but it's good and really fits your channel so well.
This is going to be a great channel. Nice Hereford's.. and a Guernsey? This is just like my grandparents small farm in northern Wisconsin that I spent summers on..some of the greatest memories I have growing up.
SHAWN & OUR CALI!!! Love that Farm house there it is wonderful !!! It is going to take time Shawn but it will be worth it !!!
Im so glad your not alone anymore
It is great to see the progress you and your family has made, but I hope you haven't taken on more that you can handle. Be safe and be well. Look forward to all these new videos.
Thank you for the videos
I subscribed to the new channel after watching yesterday's video. Look forward to more of the homesteading.
This is going to be so exciting !
So excited to watch listen and learn! Man! Love seeing you grow and continue this journey! Definitely inspiring my similar dreams !!
Quel plaisir de vous voir entouré de votre famille, heureux..de voir tout le travail accompli. ." Chapeau bas Shawn"..vous n'avez jamais baissé les bras..c'est ce qui fait votre force..et l'amour..porteur...bonne continuation, bon courage. .Continuez à nous faire rêver. .et réfléchir
I'm confused?? Are you and your sister's properties side-by-side? Are you neighbors? Are your two properties connected? I'm trying to understand how everything connects?
My family is trying to get the cash reserves needed to buy a multigenerational farmstead of this nature. While the modern system certainly has some advantages and niceties, the security of having the ability to provide food, fuel, and shelter WITHOUT much help from greater society. The ability to take care of our own. I have subscribed to the new channel, and am looking forward to its unique content.
Lo sigo aproximadamente hace un año y me maravilla ese empuje extraordinario: Todo lo q podamos conseguir para nuestra autosuficiencia no solo biologica sino tambien espiritual no tiene limites. Muy agradecida x sus videos desde Argentina.
I see the rationale to create this channel. Makes total sense and was the right call. Looking forward to the content and channel growth.
Hi Shawn,
I know you're trying to explain what you are doing with your channels and homesteads but I think that you're missing just a few details that would really clear things up.
For example you mentioned that your cabin isnt going to be the main residence, maybe a family compound if it needs to be... does that mean you have another cabin/home elsewhere? If so have we seen any of that property ? Is that where the larger vegetable garden and chickens are located? Is your cabin now just a secondary building which is why your not in a hurry to build the main bedroom extension or at least not showing that? Is Emily's cabin on one of your properties or does she have her own property?
I had a better understanding of what was going on at the last cabin as you were very clear about what you were doing and how it was laid and the overhead drone shots were great too.
No matter what you choose to share with us its great viewing and very interesting as we can't do anything like this where I'm from in Australia.
And how is Emily going with her concussion recovery? Last update I saw she was still experiencing symptoms. Hopefully she's sought further opinions on the injury, as long term concussion issues aren't great
Love that log cabin. Lots of room for lots of food!
I'm so proud of you and your family.
I will be checking out your other channel 🎉
Shawn, are you going to make another earth oven for the new homestead? I really enjoyed the building of the last one.
I always thought that your "My Self Reliance" channel was all about Cali and you happened to be working in the background and occasionally tossing the orange or white thing for Cali to run and get.
Most Excellent! Thank you very much! Thank you for introducing me to the music of Hunter Quinn. I've hooked my brother in his music!😂
Well Shawn you have definitely have your work cut out it will be fascinating viewing, good luck to you and yours.
Fantastic content. Thank you.
Sounds excellent Looking forward to learning from the new channel
I wish it wasn’t a separate channel as it encompasses the journey you’re on. I think the world has gone retro and we are looking more for property in conjunction with family compounds. Rather than everyone going their own way and starving on their postage stamp of land, families are combining resources and skills.
This is the right direction for normal people against a tyrannical government in Canada or the US.
I love split rail fences!!!!
I hope your daughters have handy men by their sides as you will find out that aging is a pain...literally. You will be working yourself to an early seat on the porch if you try to do all of it by yourself. I wish you luck.
I'm in the UK 🥲 my family has 110 acres of land in north Thailand.. Sounds tempting but a totally different way of life 💥
All kinds of awesome. Thanks Shawn.
Very cool! I dont envy the amount of work but will be an awesome set-up!
Thanks Shawn, l’m so happy to watch your channel and learn about a lot of great stuff! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯😎😎😎
You will need a good tight tall fence for goats, Shawn.
Still here Shawn...I have been back from South Korea for 4 years now.
We made a mistake. Our mistake was coming to Canada.
And yes...We will be returning to South Korea. But it will be difficult.
I will not stop watching Shawn James...even if I am in S.K.
Why SK?
Good question, no off-grid living there. @@bobsmith-jk3fx
@@bobsmith-jk3fx 1.) Because my wife is South Korean.
2.) Because we picked up a house (2 acres of land in the country
fully furnished) walk in + keys $95,000 U.S. dollars.
3.) They do not cave to woke garbage because they know socialism when they see it.
4.) Finally...They have great food and the people are respectful.
I like the name 'Our Self Reliance'. It makes sense to me.
Used my wood cook stove today(hitzer). Very cool.
I admire your passion.
I'm in!! Cant wait to see this new channel.
Another Self Reliance Channel...Yes, Nice :)
Oczywiście daję suba i na tym kanale:) Bardzo podoba mi się taka samowystarczalność - potrzebna chyba wszystkim ... Podziwiam, będę oglądać i życzę moc szczęścia i realizacji marzeń! Pozdrawiam z Polski!
What you are doing is excellent
Invejo vc pela sua iniciativa, seja feliz Amigo
God bless you all Shaun Sending 🙏🏻 prayers for prosperity and peace ✌🏻
Can’t wait to watch and see what you come up with next ❤. Thanks for the Jackery info, my son purchased one and it’s kept our fridge running during two outages and recently the hurricane in Texas 😊
Hi Shawn, been watching your homestead growth almost from the beginng and so glad to see youre expanding and leaving this legacy for your children. If you haven't heard of Joe Salitin or Justin Rhodes (both have YT channels), they're both permaculature homesteads, Justin specifically has his soley for his family of 5 children, and the legacy he's leaving for them. Both have brilliant ideas (as well as books and homestead designs) in order to become less dependent on the modern infrastrucrtues, as you've spoken about here. Looking forwared to seeing what you create!
Already there. 👍🏻. Funny I did say to myself, she didn’t sound, right just before you said it, lol.
Subscribed to the new channel. Good direction for you to be going. I only have a small lot but I still get lots of ideas and really enjoy this natural evolution. Maybe goat cheese some day? Love it!!
Beautiful
Hey Shawn, Maybe do a tie in with the show Barnwood Builders on this old cabin ? They would (no pun he he ) likely be interested in this property if it need any attention or repairs... Cali seems to approve of the place !
Gorgeous house!
Congratulations on your new channel.
This is like returning to the times of early settlers in a new land. Very traditional..
Maravilloso todos sus logros!!👏👌🙂
I stumbled across your page years ago when I was nice and stoned and fell in love with your channel. You are an inspiration and I absolutely adore all the work you have done! I’m excited for the future!!!
Great job on the new content ..
I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing Calli romping in teh fields with her dog 'relatives'. She has spent so much time with umans, it gives me great joy to see her getting hang out with her fellow creatures... ♥She looks so happy...♥
