I love how Cali is always in your thoughts as you go about building the sustainable necessities required for your goals. You are indeed an inspiration.
I'm from Detroit, living in Atlanta now..and I must say, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen. It seems that there is nothing this man cannot do..So glad I came across this channel, I can sit, and quietly watch him for hours..Cali, not only are you a beauty, but you are the luckiest dog in the world..❤️🌾
Cali is just the best! The soulful eyes, the beautiful fur, that nose, that tail! And it’s just a hoot watching the videos seeing her daily activities-you’ll be talking and in the background -there goes Cali-and then always showing up with her toy: she brings added depth to your already amazing videos. I’ll never forget the video at your city home --you were sharing with us all the while Cali came in and out of the background checking out the flowers, smelling the flowers, ignoring the flowers, digging up the flowers. What a scream!😊😊😊. In this video, you can see how much she loves and adores you-follows you and waits-occasionally goes off to check the area-back again. Don’t dogs just bring such joy to our hearts. Thank you for sharing her. We are blessed by her sweet being and you for shining a light of kindness, grace and strength in this world.
The wife and I absolutely love watching your videos. In this one you showed the night sky, it was amazing, please show more of your night sky views please!
Thank you Sir, for your dedication and compassion; to the work, and to the bond between man and dog. Thank you for constructing something of such great beauty peace and tranquility. Something we all can enjoy through your channels.
This channel soothes me every night. The sounds, scenery, wildlife,& waterways. What a wonderful life you’re fortunate to live Shawn. God’s heaven on earth.💯❤️😀👍🏾✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I can tell from watching your videos that Callie loves you tremendously she is a very beautiful dog I'm sure she's a big part of your family I would also like to say that you do make beautiful videos love the waterfall👍
You and Callie walking in the woods to the water over the rocks, was some of the most beautiful footage I have ever seen, along with those sky shots right after. What a beautiful place. Who wouldn't want to be there. Nice work, Shawn.
I know you have a lot to do before the snow flies, but I can't wait to see the sauna being used on a snowy day. Have a beautiful weekend everyone. From Japan
Your every episode brings me to real life away from the complicated life in the city, noisy urban invironment, very close to the creations of our super natural God. Life in your place is simple yet exviting, exciting, with senery of nature, quiet, pure and clean and we can say that your the King of own kingdom. . I enjoyed watching your exciting vlogs everyday. Tnx, Boy Lama - phils. ( 71 yrs old guy.)
I could sit and listen to the water all day so relaxing. Love Cali as such a loveable dog. This winter the Sauna going to feel real good. I enjoy watching what you do. Thanks!
I just found your channel tonight and am already a faithful subscriber. I am fascinated by all you have created. Everything is wonderful and your dog is a charmer too.
My favorite channel , you give a broken man hope ! Thank you so very much my friend 👍 soon I will have my own , long time coming. Thank you once again for restoring hope to a generation . I'd fallow you any where my brother , blessings , good fortune and peace be with you , , your buddy J. From Maine ☝
An elk antler door stop....it doesn't get much more rustic than that ! Everything is SO BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!! You have made a macho artistc, spiritual, heart healing, and pure life. It is a joy to watch you fulfill your dreams with such precision, strength and skill. Thank you for your videos.
Along with all of the fantastic imagery, I try my best to picture the smells in my head. The pine, the smell of flowing water, the moss, fires, etc. It's just so relaxing to anyone that lives in a city but has spent a lot of time in the woods. Thanks Shawn.
True story. Went on a family vacation when I was around 12 years-old or so. We went to Kanasa City to the amusement parks and a KC ball game. Checked into the hotel the very first night. My family was so excited. I thought it would be an awesome idea to try out the sauna (I had never been in one before). Stayed in there for like an hour. LONG story short, I was in bed for two days sick!! Got EXTREMELY dehydrated and over-heated. My Dad was NOT very happy with me...kinda ruined the first 2 days of our trip. I'm in my 40's now...haven't been in one since😁!!
It's Friday morning in California. I'm still in my robe, sipping coffee, something I haven't done in over 30 years. I'm watching your latest video. I hear your theme song and immediately, I feel an overwhelming calmness. Seeing the beginning of your video, the beautiful sights, I'm one day closer to "getting off grid". One business is going through the process of being sold, one more to go. I'm starting to get excited again about life again because the one I created was no longer working for me. Thanks for this channel again, Shawn! P.S. another Shawn masterpiece, beautiful sauna! It's your signature!
Elizabeth L. Johnson said, I was all smiles, as usual, watching you work with the moss, and then Cali in fast motion! That made me laugh! I learn a lot watching you. Now, even my husband, is beginning to believe with me, that we'll get our 100 acre wood on which to build a log cabin. Then my heart was touched. . . with the beautiful scenery and amazing music! I thrive on the peace and quiet you give us while you work!!!!!!!!! I look at the details of the scene, and take as much in as possible!!! Then I realize, I can watch this a hundred times, if I want! Praying for you and the fam.
I love watching you work with all the old tools, brings back so many memories of my helping my Dad with the many projects he would do. Even though we bought him power tools, he always preferred to use all his manual tools that he had used throughout his life (he was born in 1911), maybe even used them with his Dad. Watching you also makes me wish I was 50 yrs younger so I could go off and live off the grid like you are doing. Thank you for amazing and beautiful videos and experiences you share with us. I know you and your wife will absolutely love and enjoy your time there together. Stay happy!!
SHAWN and Cali , I am living my life thru you I'm 83, and this is how I pretend I'm there in the beautiful outdoors I am a daughter of a carpenter also my grandfather was so it interests me. Long story short I wish I were there . Now for Cali I'm in love with her she makes my day. She is adorable
The forest floor on your bath house roof with the fall leaves is a treat to the eyes. Cali sure keeps u busy until she wears herself out! Thank u for sharing all your beautiful surroundings. I could watch hours of your videos, they bring good thoughts to ones soul in these unsettled times.
Another beautiful, interesting video to start my day off right. Glad to see you taking time to enjoy your life there, it's a beautiful property. Thank you for sharing.
What a Friday night, I have the Rugby World Cup in Japan on the TV with the sound down, Shawn and his best friend on my iPad wishing I was at the cabin.
Glad to see you still persisting and living out your dreams. I look forward to seeing more content from you in the future! You're living the lifestyle that I have dreamt of since I was a boy. Much love from Omaha, Nebraska!
i am in Michigan USA and i love these video's of you out in the middle of no where living off the land in something you built by hand ... it has always been a dream of mine to live out my days in a log cabin... for the life of me this should be a tv show
Hi mr James so glad you can enjoy the sauna you deserve that. Your relentless energy is amazing. Your wife will love being with you and Cali. It is so cosy Hope it all goes well for you both and your girls too. Thanks again. Carol and Bob
80 degrees celsius is pretty optimal temperature for soft sauna experience. I'd say majority of us Finns like the sauna at 80 degrees. Enjoy the steams!
Key to good sauna experience is that there is enough fresh air entering the room. Usually air enters through a small hatch in the wall next to where you are sitting. Hatch is closed when heating the sauna and opened when enjoying the löyly. Although now when the gaps between logs are not sealed with clay, the fresh air probably leaks in there through the moss, which actually might work quite nicely. But still the hatch might be good idea.
@@JariSuominen I'd say a sauna needs two hatches. One under the benches near the floor which is always slightly open and another one in the ceiling which you keep closed when you're heating up sauna and enjoying the steams.
Hi Shawn, During this video a couple of things stood out for me. One is, how much stronger you are physically than when you started this vlog. Things which used to take a lot more effort, now you just hold'em down and whack 'em. Second is, during this video It also became very clear that you are always remaining alert to the sounds and changes in the woods around you, no matter how absorbed you seem to be in the work.. A strong reminder that one cannot drift off into la-la-land in those surroundings. The Sauna is gorgeous. Your entire growing compound is shaping up beautifully. IMO you are setting a great example for so many.. I feel blessed to be able to watch it all come together. I have learned so much from your videos, and am continuing to- Thank you for putting these videos up for us to watch!
Oh,man, thank you very much! I watch your video, and enjoying! Hello from Estonia!!! Personal thanks, for episode with your dog , and cooking the food! Nice wildness, real , and simple life,. Perhaps your, is happy,
@@alanmumford8806 Hi Alan ! Yes I agree with you, I not strong in English grammar, But if you you try write on Russian , or Estonian, or Finnish language ! Think this, too, will be very funny ! For good and sincere words, you do not need rules and perfection ! Simply, I could not, keep silent, and not say thank you, for this video !
@@sterhh100 Hi DNK, as I said, it's only the message that matters and yours was clear. Yes, I do know what you mean about using other languages; I live in the Czech republic... and make many, many mistakes when trying to communicate in Czech!
@@alanmumford8806 So....You don't think calling this guy's English "rubbish" was a little harsh, huh? Do you really think you even had to mention that? I mean, you said it (the rubbish part of his English) "wasn't important",... so why mention it at all? Just wondering. I think his gracious response took you by surprise!....and you had to backtrack and play "nice". Kind of condescending.
@@alanmumford8806 Hi Alan ! I want to ask you something . Here is for example, you can have themselves in Czech Republic , to live in the forest , as this a man , in video ? Just go into the woods and build a house, without any permits and papers and projects ???? The answer I think will is obvious !!! NO!!!!! It's a system that makes us all slaves and zombies ! All this patriotism and nationalism, this propoganda everything, in order that people would not live as this man from video ! What do you think about it ?
The amount of Envy and respect I have for what you have created and continue to do is beyond my words.... So I’m just gonna leave it at that... Just simply fantastic!
I have never seen a night sky so beautiful as the one depicted in your video and hoped the clip of it would be much longer and had no idea the area around you included not only the huge lake but also those waterfalls and river! All this MUST draw you closer to God and the wonder of creation. You are blessed with the skills and stamina to accomplish what you have and have blessed us with sharing it. Please more of the night skies! I have never seen so many stars!!!! The sun rises and sunsets are also gorgeous. God is good. All the time.
Whenever I need a sense of peace, I tune in. You never fail to intrigue me with your skills, the lovely landscapes, the development of your home, and of course, our beloved Cali. We're developing 5 acres in SW Michigan and you're inspiring us in all that we do. It's time for you to get some honey bees my friend!
Do you know Shawn you have achieved so much in such a relatively short time. If I were your wife I'd be ever so proud of you. You and your wife are going to have an amazing time living there.
Hi. I hope you don't mind , I subscribed to your channel , I to have five subscribers . Don't know who they are or why they subscribed but .. this guy has the same plan iv got , can't wait till that day comes for me , watch for the J.bird vids .. peace ✌
Man, I have to say I love these videos. I've lived in the city for so many years as an adult. But, watching these brought back the fondest memories of a youth spent in the woods of Ohio and, the knowledge gleaned from my grand-parents and, just spending time watching and learning, from nature. Our parents didn't worry about us. We weren't afraid. We just hiked alone, took in the natural beauty around us and..............lived. The knowledge you have in so many areas is clear. I've always loved the 'old ways'. This makes it evident why. Hard work and, self reliance. Something supremely missing from so many these days. Keep sharing your experiences and, pass on your knowledge to just one so it may live on. Thank you for this.
The sauna turned out great Shawn, awesome job friend. Now sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You have an awesome view from where you are at with the night sky, that clip of the stars in the night sky was beautiful to say the least. I hope you would do a video of just star gazing. Have a great week and enjoy the sauna. And much hugs to Cali, such an adorable dog.
Amazing beauty there! You would find me at the waterfalls! And that night sky is breathtakingly beautiful! Another great video chapter Shawn! Thank you!
Glorious. I've spent the day dealing with an attempted murder case, so to get home and bathe in the warmth of this video with a single malt is all I need to relax into the weekend.
I imagine it might go like this... Shawn talking to his wife “ hey honey I got the moss roof finished on the sauna”.....and she says “ oh that’s nice dear!”. Then she watches your video and thinks ‘holy crap! that was a LOT of work!! 😊 Great video once again, the sauna looks amazing. 👏👏👏
Thank you Shawn. I continue to feel a total sense of peace and adventure watching your beautiful videos. This is coming from a guy living in the remote Mojave Desert 21 years. Peace and quiet and peace of mind here are a way of life. May you always bless us with your tranquil lifestyle, amazingly beautiful dog and the solid enchantment of merging with nature. I sit here with my acoustic guitar and try and pick through those beautiful melodies you share. Been pickin a long time. Brings a smile to my face. Thank you. I been watching you for the past 2 years.
Your videography and editing is outstanding...your videos are really beautiful and well thought out. You're also extremely creative, and talented in many areas.
es ist immer wieder schön dich und deinen Hund zu sehen, und das das Leben auch schön sein kann ,ohne die ganzen materiellen Dinge.liebe Grüsse aus Germany
I stay up every Friday night and wait for your vids - love everything about your lifestyle - hard work, but so rewarding and Cali is the icing on the cake. And the new camera is top notch/high quality 👍👍😁Thanks soooooo much for sharing your life - avid viewer from New Zealand 😁
You know you picked a great spot when you can see the Milky Way like that at night. Spent a night in the desert once, and it was bright enough to cast a shadow on a moonless night amazingly.
I cannot go to bed without clicking in to your videos to see what’s happening ,I love it
Don't you ever get tired of the endless hard work? I get tired just watching the video!
I love how Cali is always in your thoughts as you go about building the sustainable necessities required for your goals. You are indeed an inspiration.
This made me feel good about the world. Beautiful video, thank you Shawn and Cali. Bless you.

Calie is such a good and faithful dog for you. Love to watch her!!!!
She is the real star here. Everything else disappears when she is on screen.
She looks so happy and healthy
@@mikethompson6713 yh its nice seeing a owner and his dog living out in the wilderness
She's a beautiful creature. Miss my Goldie. Still got Max..great company.
Work hard ,but still happy as you are being alone ....in the cabin .....awesome .

Calli and her ever waving flag (tail) .... she's such a happy girl ...... love her !!!
I love how you mix playtime with Cali and work time together.
She's a retriever and he hunts, so it's also training. A win for everyone but the ducks and geese. ;)

So relaxing and beautiful I wish we all still lived this way.
More great evocative photo imagery, Shawn. Thanks for taking us along to see you through much work realize your dream of rural life.
I love watching this series it’s so calming🥰
Works as asmr. I fall a sleep often watching Shawns videos
Brings my blood pressure down and sometimes makes me hungry.
The fire & cooking
@3 Subscribers Without Any Videos!!!!! In my case it's a compliment. Must be a good video to get me sleepy and not just annoyed
True that
You are to good in your daily routine . in the cabin ....lovely Sir Shawn James amaze ...
I bet that feels great, so nice to use the Sauna, especially as you built it with your own effort. Cali is such a great companion 👍🐶🌈
Wow that waterfall was amazing and so soothing. Thanks.

Man, I have to say I love these videos. I've lived in the city for so many years as an adult. But, watching these brought back the fondest memories of a youth spent in the woods of Ohio and, the knowledge gleaned from my grand-parents and, just spending time watching and learning, from nature. Our parents didn't worry about us. We weren't afraid. We just hiked alone, took in the natural beauty around us and..............lived. The knowledge you have in so many areas is clear. I've always loved the 'old ways'. This makes it evident why. Hard work and, self reliance. Something supremely missing from so many these days. Keep sharing your experiences and, pass on your knowledge to just one so it may live on. Thank you for this.
The sauna turned out great Shawn, awesome job friend. Now sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You have an awesome view from where you are at with the night sky, that clip of the stars in the night sky was beautiful to say the least. I hope you would do a video of just star gazing. Have a great week and enjoy the sauna. And much hugs to Cali, such an adorable dog.
Great great work, Shawn. Love your sauna bathroom in the forest. Love the music, and your lovely dog, of course.
Love your peaceful way of presenting the videos of your hard work, sir..
I'm glad to see that I am not the only one that misses a nail now and then, that's what I love about your vids, thanks Shaun!
Amazing beauty there! You would find me at the waterfalls! And that night sky is breathtakingly beautiful! Another great video chapter Shawn! Thank you!
Glorious. I've spent the day dealing with an attempted murder case, so to get home and bathe in the warmth of this video with a single malt is all I need to relax into the weekend.
I imagine it might go like this...
Shawn talking to his wife “ hey honey I got the moss roof finished on the sauna”.....and she says “ oh that’s nice dear!”. Then she watches your video and thinks ‘holy crap! that was a LOT of work!!
😊 Great video once again, the sauna looks amazing. 👏👏👏
Thank you Shawn. I continue to feel a total sense of peace and adventure watching your beautiful videos. This is coming from a guy living in the remote Mojave Desert 21 years. Peace and quiet and peace of mind here are a way of life. May you always bless us with your tranquil lifestyle, amazingly beautiful dog and the solid enchantment of merging with nature. I sit here with my acoustic guitar and try and pick through those beautiful melodies you share. Been pickin a long time. Brings a smile to my face. Thank you. I been watching you for the past 2 years.
I look at you, I just admire the ubiquitous complete immersion, God forbid, health and prosperity to the channel with respect from the harsh Russia
WOW!...you continue to amaze!! beautiful!
Your videography and editing is outstanding...your videos are really beautiful and well thought out. You're also extremely creative, and talented in many areas.

What's better than watching myself reliance on a Friday night this video was BANGER I love it
I stay up every Friday night and wait for your vids - love everything about your lifestyle - hard work, but so rewarding and Cali is the icing on the cake. And the new camera is top notch/high quality 👍👍😁Thanks soooooo much for sharing your life - avid viewer from New Zealand 😁
Oh my......such a beautiful place you live in. Thanks for sharing.....blessings
Remember camping in Canada’s national park - night sky, stars over the lake were incredible beautiful.
Life feels peaceful where you are Shawn.
Thank you for this beautiful channel, from beautiful places. Greetings from Italy
Thank you for sharing your moments with us. From Morocco.
I'm so relaxed and at peace after watching this, thanks.
You know you picked a great spot when you can see the Milky Way like that at night. Spent a night in the desert once, and it was bright enough to cast a shadow on a moonless night amazingly.
I'm probably weird but I love the sound of boiling water poured into the coffeemaker.
The ASMR surround of these videos is really amazing. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous the scenes of the streams and the forest!
You live with every fiber of your being. God willing, Shawn James, I think you might live to be 1000 years old.
The walk through the forest by the falls is to die for! Thanks for taking me along. ;)
Gorgeous sky, waterfall, boulders, stars and all other scenery! Thank you! Enjoy your hard work now!
