Hey Shawn! We are fellow Canadians who bought our own 62 acre island on a lake in Northern BC 🍁 We are building out our offgrid homestead with our own hands. We had to drive to Footsbay, Ontario to pick up a used barge. You've inspired us for many years. Thank you for your wonderful content. We'd love to have you come to our island one day. You have an open invitation to come on over anytime 😊
Hello Mr. James, thank you for your efforts and activity. You have wonderful and useful content. I look forward to everything new on your wonderful channel. I hope you are preparing a barn to bring in a flock of sheep. This will be a wonderful addition. Thank
Hi Shawn.... When you showed Cali that red wiggler it reminded me of a time I was walking my brave German Shephard. I showed her a small tree frog on the trail. When I pointed it out she went to sniff it and both my dog and the frog jumped about 4 feet in the air. I never laughed so hard in my life. My dog will bark at the bears but was terrified of this tiny green tree frog.....😂
I am genuinely impressed by your ability to navigate the unknown and face challenges head-on. Your resilience and determination in the face of uncertainty are truly inspiring. You have a remarkable way of turning 'What now?!' into opportunities for growth and adventure. And I am Floating Village Life.
There is always something exciting happening here and it looks really awesome in that area of the country very nice Thank You for the great work you've done.🇨🇦🤠🐶🇨🇦
Shawn, you envision something and then you dive right in and accomplish that very thing. We Ladies admire that kind of skill, that's for sure, my friend.
As one of my favorite Canadians used to say “If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy”. Thanks Red Green for all the laughs! Lol
Wow just another example of work smarter not harder. What a difference the yellow cap must make for dragging logs. I loved it when you asked Cali “what’s that?” She dropped that toy so fast - so cute!
Because of prior statements in videos I'm guessing this will become a barn/shop for doing furniture and other homestead projects as well as storage of off road vehicles in winter ?
Thank you so much for your teaching i bought my children land and having them learning from you as i am dieing and wanted to leave them a way out of whats coming. Please keep doing your good work you are an inspiration more than you will ever know.
The story about your trip out west for vacation had me in tears when you showed little C Al i story That little dog is soo sweet! To me it’s like seeing my dear sweet Sammie, Thankyou so much for loving Cali cause it’s so o precious to me You are the start of my every day. G I’d Bless you and your precious little Cali Mary from. N,h,
Hello Shawn, I have been a follower of your channels since the beginning and I don't care what you build, I watch everything you do and I envy you! Greetings from Germany - Walter 👍🏻
Shawn, I've read comments on your channel plus many others, and I see in your fans a love for you I've seen seldom any other place. It's a fondness, and love!
I really liked the first building - the workshop is already in a new place with a stove, furniture and an antrisol for relaxation, it is interesting that Shawn started to build next to the workshop, I was intrigued.)
Through the years of watching your channel it has been interesting to see how as you are able you add modern equipment to make the work you are doing easier & less labor intensive. Always interesting to see what improvements you will be making to your Homestead. Looking forward to the day when the outside kitchen is commit. It seems there are so many more things you can do in it then the smaller kitchen at the previous Homestead. Enjoy working with your new equipment !
I saw the old blue wood stove in one sequence. I'm guessing like a few others, this is the sugar shack, but it could be a shed for drying lumber? I like that Shawn is making us guess.
My first thought was a sugar shack in the style of the hen house, but he’s talked about a shed type structure for his bandsaw. It would be a good spot for it and maybe do double duty as a sugar shack.
Are you now engineering/erecting a multi-use building for processing your game and maple syrup harvest? Thanks for sharing Shawn. Best on-going series on youtube IMO.
Are you expanding on your work shop cabin. When are you going to finish up on your outdoor kitchen. Start on the master bedroom addition of cabin. Use the rocks on your cabin like use on the hen house. Looks so nice.
all you need now is every time you film a moose try and get film of a squirrel ... then you can have a nostalgic visit by Moose and Squirrel (say it with a russian accent) ...
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! Hey there Shawn glad to see you on Friday again !!! Love the building your doing there !!! It is going to be great there !!! Looks like OUR CALI has a new hiding spot for some time or another !!! It is something how she loves to hide under things !!!
I had an awful migraine yesterday so I'm late to the party. I did stop in to leave a like on both but I wanted to watch the vids when I could enjoy it properly. Shawn you tease, keeping us in suspense lol. My guess is either a storage shed for saw milled lumber or Cali got jealous of the chickens having their own house and demanded one of her own 😂. I wish I could post an image because I found a cabin that is shaped like a golden and I immediately thought of you. I think its Ai though because it looks completely unhinged. Have a good weekend and take care!
Removing the old hunting blind, building a new larger workshop. I seem to remember hearing the animal paths were too close to the original work shed. Maybe with cover for the vehicles too. Seems too far from home cabin for bath/sauna.
Husqvarna, Swedish as i am but the chain needs a little bit of maintenance though You are amazing to create all that you do, i wish i could do that, i can do knifes and kåsor (dont now the name in English, maybe kuksa) and many other smaller things but that amazing big builds is very impressive. Keep going with your goal to be on the other side of human interferens and there you can decide where you wanna be. /Jonas Pettersson Sweden
Where did you get the log skidding cone?Thanks for the video! I had one hell of a week and your content is better than a stiff drink to shake off the 50 hour grind. Thanks Buddy.
It doesn't matter what you are building because for anyone who's been watching your channel it will be fantastic!!!!!

Remembered when you first
got Callie.
She's a grown lady now and has proven that she's (your four footed)
best friend 🐕 .
😂😂😂.

Hi from Australia. Never miss a show. Love Cali.
Love it when you’re building stuff. Hen house is a palace. Yes and we like the meals you cook.
Hi Shawn.... When you showed Cali that red wiggler it reminded me of a time I was walking my brave German Shephard. I showed her a small tree frog on the trail. When I pointed it out she went to sniff it and both my dog and the frog jumped about 4 feet in the air. I never laughed so hard in my life.

Too cute!! 🤣🤣♥️
I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you so much
I like the way you use the level on every stud and upright post to make sure everything is aligned.
I am genuinely impressed by your ability to navigate the unknown and face challenges head-on. Your resilience and determination in the face of uncertainty are truly inspiring. You have a remarkable way of turning 'What now?!' into opportunities for growth and adventure. And I am Floating Village Life.
Immersing himself in nature, working hard he is very good. Thank you for sharing.❤
There is always something exciting happening here and it
looks really awesome in that area of the country very nice
Thank You for the great work you've done.🇨🇦🤠🐶🇨🇦
I love your videos but mainly, your lifestyle!!! Kallie still living her best life!!!
I live in Saskatchewan, I have been watching for years, I am so jealous, I wish that was my life.
I can’t remember the last time I hit the “thumbs up” icon at the end. I just do so before your videos start.
It’s the first thing I look for and the first thing I hit.👍🏻
Quite the workout! I love the sound of the crackling fire!
It could be another sauna but I feel like that's a horrible guess. Whatever it is I'm excited to see what it becomes. Thanks Shawn.
I like how Cali gets right in there to supervise 😊
Shawn, you envision something and then you dive right in and accomplish that very thing. We Ladies admire that kind of skill, that's for sure, my friend.
As one of my favorite Canadians used to say “If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy”. Thanks Red Green for all the laughs! Lol
Moose barn?! 😆
(With you, your imagination and skills, anything is possible!)
Lol
Wasn't long enough. Really enjoyed it.
you work hard and it is ok you are smart and not lazy thank you for sharing
Someone in Portugal built used a porcelain bathtub, and built a structure beneath the tub, so he could heat the tub, and have warm water. 😊
They do those kinds of things
They have these types of tubes & fire underneath the tub in Japan.
@@sandralovegrove2805the indie projects showed an off grid outdoor hot bathtub build..
Kali's such a good girl and yes .. she living a good life .. ya could see it in her how happy and content she is ...
Mineral Spirits , mixed with Charcoal , can be applied instead of burning .
It's even more effective .
Came for the dog..... still enjoyed the bushcraft
Wow just another example of work smarter not harder. What a difference the yellow cap must make for dragging logs. I loved it when you asked Cali “what’s that?” She dropped that toy so fast - so cute!
Man that creek is beautiful
Like seeing all that you’re doing with wood, garden, etc and I love seeing Cali.
Have a great day.
I think I heard you talking about building some additional structures near the workshop which has always been one of my favorite buildings.
I see you’re at it again! This is so motivating! Don’t ever stop!!!!!
Because of prior statements in videos I'm guessing this will become a barn/shop for doing furniture and other homestead projects as well as storage of off road vehicles in winter ?
Hi Shawn, i miss you. I'm happy you're back. Take care.😊
Oh so beautiful, that stream, the moose, the aerial shot, and doggo napping. Can't wait to see what your creativity unleashes on this project.
Thank you so much for your teaching i bought my children land and having them learning from you as i am dieing and wanted to leave them a way out of whats coming. Please keep doing your good work you are an inspiration more than you will ever know.
God bless you dear..♥️✝️♥️
You are so welcome
I will have to wait and see what you are up to!
Looking forward to your finished build ❤
KELI...dusa lepa i dobra.❤
Callie is so photogenic ❤
The story about your trip out west for vacation had me in tears when you showed little C Al i story That little dog is soo sweet!

Great to see your video my friend!
Hello Shawn, I have been a follower of your channels since the beginning and I don't care what you build, I watch everything you do and I envy you! Greetings from Germany - Walter 👍🏻
😮😮😮😮 what are you building now ??????
Maybe a sauna
The building. 😂
Shawn, I've read comments on your channel plus many others, and I see in your fans a love for you I've seen seldom any other place. It's a fondness, and love!
What u mean What now 🤔
Keep going 💪 ❤Cali ❤from Michigan
Thank you Shawn.
Hope you received my package.
Love that wok shop and area, Id find myself with an area to sleep in that cozy place
I really liked the first building - the workshop is already in a new place with a stove, furniture and an antrisol for relaxation, it is interesting that Shawn started to build next to the workshop, I was intrigued.)
You done a good job sir if you don't know what else to do about starting up a farm
Looks like new workshop? Wish I was there to help. Be safe thanks for sharing
I think it is with a cement floor for feed storage.
Whatever it is I know that it’s gonna be awesome, thanks Shawn! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Podoba mi się Pana praca i zaangażowanie współczuję że nie zawsze jest prosto ❤

Beautiful video. It relaxes me. I love storms like this.
the Banjo opening music is always a great way to settle in too
Thank you Shawn! You and your family have a blessed day and weekend!🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻❤️
Making a Garden/Seed Shack? A Mother In Law cabin? A Workshop Storage? What could it be???? Lol…whatever it will be will be beautiful, no doubt ♥️
Love the saws
Stay strong stay well.
I would like to know where he bought that chain from. He cut all of that wood and never had to stop and sharpen it one time.
Glad to see you Shawn great video
Are you expanding on your work shop cabin. When are you going to finish up on your outdoor kitchen. Start on the master bedroom addition of cabin. Use the rocks on your cabin like use on the hen house. Looks so nice.
I don't think he'll make the bedroom extension till next summer.
all you need now is every time you film a moose try and get film of a squirrel ... then you can have a nostalgic visit by Moose and Squirrel (say it with a russian accent) ...
P.S. at least you don't have to worry about getting stuck in a flooded underpass, "let it 🌧️". As always great content, stay safe.
Now that's funny! Only locals would know why...
Beautiful Cali faithful friend, dads on site supervisor. Cuddles sweet girl 🥰👵 Ottawa
I hope it's a sauna slash laundry house, you had one before but I'm probably wrong.
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! Hey there Shawn glad to see you on Friday again !!! Love the building your doing there !!! It is going to be great there !!! Looks like OUR CALI has a new hiding spot for some time or another !!! It is something how she loves to hide under things !!!
Great content. I’m gonna keep being a faithful follower.
I've been watching Shawn since early on with the first cabin at the other property and cali could be known as the pup with the perpetual motion tail 😎
Thanks for the video Shawn. Happy weekend!
I would love to see you add some security to your site.
Maybe some perimeter fences with some watch towers or something similar.
Would be very cool.
I feel you man . In my childhood we always build small hats from sticks and grass but the main problem was that building was funny but live there not
You would love that saw 1000 x more if you put an Oregon SpeedCut system on it..
Great to see another video. Love watching.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Calli cracked me up! You showed her the wiggly red worm, and she ate it!!! Too funny . . .:>)
Greetings from Sri Lanka ..
People like you are lucky and happy
The man is a genius .😊
People like him make their own luck, and because they can do so is why their happy.

Por lo menos estas fresquito y lluvia. Aquí un calor sofocante 48° centígrados y sin lluvia nunca.
Aquí no cae nieve nunca en mi ciudad.
Surprise!!! ✌️thank you for all your content !!!!
Hopefully you came to your senses and are building a sauna! Hope all is well 😊
Snap, another cool video, A Tree hut be cool to see you make
merci JAMES
Поздрави от България, направи си гараж за машините зад къщата, а може и няколко гаража.
I guess that too, machine / tool shed / garage
Winter is not too far away 😅🥶
Removing the old hunting blind, building a new larger workshop. I seem to remember hearing the animal paths were too close to the original work shed. Maybe with cover for the vehicles too. Seems too far from home cabin for bath/sauna.
It seems like yesterday when you built that work platform! Now it's gone!
Great work, thank you
The better question is will we get to watch you build it or just get the cliff notes version as you did with the coop?
Wow...demand much?
Dang Shawn, you muscled that log!
Working on the "barn" for storage and covering for the sawmill is my guess.
Haven’t watched in 2 months. What the hell have/are you building now
You missed the chicken coop to end all chicken coops!!!…. I was thinking of remodeling mine…
Where ya been?
お疲れさまです🍀 ☝💡仕事道具 収納小屋 でしょうか 🎐
My guess is that this will be a woodshed for seasoning wood to use when boiling down maple syrup.
Husqvarna, Swedish as i am but the chain needs a little bit of maintenance though
You are amazing to create all that you do, i wish i could do that, i can do knifes and kåsor (dont now the name in English, maybe kuksa) and many other smaller things but that amazing big builds is very impressive.
Keep going with your goal to be on the other side of human interferens and there you can decide where you wanna be.
/Jonas Pettersson Sweden
You do know that your imagination and skills will NEVER allow you to be finished with the " project" 😉👍
Where did you get the log skidding cone?Thanks for the video! I had one hell of a week and your content is better than a stiff drink to shake off the 50 hour grind. Thanks Buddy.
I think he's making a shed for his tractor and snow machines etc.
love your vids and your contruction shawn
