      I am wondering, how do you break down everything if there is no emptying it? Lime, or something else. I will have to google it!!😉

      I was about to add the some similar comment, how fulfilling is it to watch growing the built step by step, each step being a success. My actual daily experience is more like attempts and blocked results by some hindering or failing process that postpones expected results. Be Zen and go back to basics grasshopper.

      @@darlenekozlovskis6907 Hi Darlene. I do believe that people do sometimes use lime after each use but do not traditionally "empty" the hole. They dig a new hole and use that dirt to fill in the previous hole. They move the outhouse over the new hole.

      It is beautiful, but it becomes a whole lot less enjoyable in person when the black flies, deer flies, horse flies and mosquitoes hit. They each peak at different times, but some of the worst of their cycles overlap. For those of us experiencing it all vicariously via video, late spring and summer may seem the most beautiful -- but the reality when you are there in person is different. Simply put: the bugs are awful - just *awful*.
      That's why Shawn prefers the late Fall, Winter (and early Spring). For 6 to 7 months, the bugs finally stop. The other 5? Not my cuppa.

One would think that instead of being closed minded & emotionally small would be able to find inspiration, calm & beauty. One cannot speak to those who will not listen & learn.

    I think most guys want to do what you are doing, I think it's just in our nature, but never did for one reason or another. When I was much younger, I watched a 1969 movie called "My Side Of The Mountain". It was about a boy around 15, year old who went up in the Mountain to live on his own for a while. I never forgot that movie. I was 14 at the time and made a list of all the stuff I would need to do it. Now I regret that I never did anything like it. It may be why I like watching those of you who build what they need to live off the grid with nature.
    May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. Stay safe.

I have stopped watching several channels on off grid because when they start to act like yahoos and break or destroy everything they touch, well, that's not for me. You on the other hand use your head and don't abuse what you have. Of course, machines break down, tools can break but there is no need to rush them to their demise.

Once finished it looked better than many indoor bathrooms I've seen. Lol. All the comforts of home in any community... Nice work..

    You know Shawn, being a building contractor most of my adult life, the first video I watched was a video of you doing the bed in the cabin. I watched and what I loved most about the video was, there was complete silence, no talking. And I felt, this was a real good way to show how your existence was in real life. You enjoy the solitude and only the sounds of the wildlife and all that goes with it. I suppose one can take the silence as how ever they want to but, that's the way I saw it. I do enjoy your input from time to time but, I already know what your going to do B-4 you do it. With that being said, I wanted to just express my feelings towards your video's and explain why I like the silence or music as you work. Keep them coming Shawn, I love all of them!!

    I love this...."excuse me callie", and she dutifully gets up and moves, such respect between man and his dog, wonderful to see. Your new homestead site looks so tranquil i like it much better than the old site, not that i didn't like that one but this one is just wonderful

      The whole country is going down and being somewhere so secluded is a pretty good idea! I’m thinking about buying a cabin in the mountains of Pennsylvania! But like you i don’t want neighbors and you can do anything you want to without bullshit from neighbors!

    It says a lot about how we live nowadays that most folks watching this find it both inspiring and relaxing. As well as recognising the disconnect perhaps from the natural world in our own lives. Thank you Shawn and Cali for sharing your time and adventure with us. Much love and blessings to you both 💓

    As always, Shawn, I love watching your woodcraft - glad to see that you have updated to using more machines to get things done without physically killing yourself. Your way of doing things reminds me of my grandfather - he was such a great conservationist. The forest was his temple where he worshiped God. God bless you and your family. p.r.morehouse

    Well I like your priorities. I'm enjoying this. I pray that you stay safe each day.

    I had an emotional reaction to the title of this video. I'm not quite certain how I can miss a place I've never even visited, but I can feel it already. This is a beautiful homestead. It wouldn't surprise me if it becomes historic one day. I'm pretty certain it will be loved by it's new owners. Best wishes to you and to them.
