This truly is therapy... isn't it everyone? Shawn, you've got a gift brother. I think we're all a bit more relaxed, tolerant, inspired and just better, when we finish watching an episode.
Scott, I'm agreeing with you 100% It is therapy. Watching this particular video I escaped and for the moment I was there. In the end, when reality crept back in, I must say that I was so Relaxed. Shawn ~ Thank you for taking us places, showing us new building skills, the Love & Joy that Cali brings. She is Beautiful. Your drone footage is amazing, the Beauty of the scenery mixed in with the Seasons ~ Truly Breathtaking. Thanks again Shawn
One thing we forget is the camera: him coming out of the shower, him reading a book etc. He filmed himself do it, meaning he had to place the camera to capture his actions on film, often most likely having to do multiple takes. Then he sat down and edited the video.
Such a pleasure watching you and Cali, all the work you accomplish and a much simpler way of life. Of course with much to accomplish every day. Your connection to Mother Earth makes her happy and you too.
So nice to see how things have so nicely progressed. I’ve followed you from almost the very beginning. A lot of hard work and determination went into building your dream. It’s a dream that keeps growing. Love seeing Cali so happy. Your wife will love it there once she settles in. You’ve built such a nice place for both of you. Wishing you both all the best, and look forward to seeing how things progress in the future.
Jon Smith You were correct as she is now gone for the foreseeable future. Really horrible place in the summer especially with that additional room not yet screened in.
His dream yes, but like he said in his video, his wife doesnt share the same dream as he does, which in a way is a good thing, but in the other way is a sad thing, as he cant share what he loves with the person he loves, and they cant appreciate it the same way that he does,
He doesn’t waste not one minute. Always busy. Time must go by very fast but I can see where it would drag by too. I don’t know. His feelings about it are his own but I’d have to have someone to have a cup of coffee with ever once in awhile. Strong marriage...?dont know... maybe...that’s what he says. His heart?? Who knows!!
@@InfectedByZanza I just think that is the saddest thing that his wife can’t enjoy that beautiful estate there. I’ve always been a dreamer and I think Shawn is a dreamer as well. He worked awfully hard on what he has there without his wife. I’d be there right beside him or the equivalent there of. Not a sunrise or sunset would I dare miss seeing with my husband. Lost a husband of 37 years to divorce. You truly have to lose something to ever gain it back, probably never with the love given at first. Nope I’d be right there in that cabin when he got home!!
Love the way you edit your videos. No need for talking or background music. Cali is the luckiest dog in the area with you having the patience to chuck her fetch toy. I sure hope you wife will adjust to the change of living in town with all of her amenities to life off grid. You deserve enjoying all the fruits of your labour. Looking forward to seeing how your wife enjoys this extra room.
This man knows how to live and makes it happen, the best, you can do it series on youtube. Every thing he does is like sitting down to a perfect meal. Here is someone to be respected and inspiring.
Your wife will love it and all your hard work. When I saw Kelly standing at the door with her toy I laughed out loud and then her relaxing in the chair warmed my heart. Assuming your wife loves the outdoors as you she will be very happy. An adjustment for sure but what a special opportunity awaits her. Great job love each and every project.
Nice to see your shower setup in action - I'm sure that felt real good after all that hard work ... speaking of which, the add-on is looking great -> your wife is going to love it, I hope you asked her input... Empty nesters, I'm sure you'll find something to keep you busy ... the important thing, ENJOY IT!
Great video shawn! I'm sure you cant wait for the wife to join you in your adventure. You're working so hard to make her life comfortable. I hope she enjoys the wilderness life as much as you.
That room is going to be nice. I know she'll appreciate all the hard work you put into it for her. You'll both get benefit from it but since you did it mostly for her, it is a really special gift of love.
Hi Shawn , there are very few things that can capture my full attention and keep me focused, your channel and everything it represents definitely has that ability. Thank you for that.
My hubby and I watch your videos every evening. We live vicariously through you. It’s like therapy and escape for us. I am so happy for you. Thank you with all of my heart for sharing your life with us. ❤️
This is the only youtube channel that makes me feel relaxed. So calm and peaceful watching you build and live at the cabin! I like watching you prepare your meals and seeing you eating well. Can we see what Cali gets to eat? I always wonder about her. Love the channel!! Thank you for letting us be part of your life!
I think ive learned more from watching this channel over the past 2 years than I have in a handful of my college classes. Not only about survival and carpentry skills but just about self satisfaction and living within your means
Shawn, as a builder myself and noticing how when you open your cabin door in the winter, all the heat in the cabin woofs out of the front door and heats up the clouds. You really need to put on a bit of an enclosed porch out front of the front door with a second door so that you can close the main door as a sort of 'air lock' while you come in from the cold. You can keep it open in the summer but in the winter you really need some sort of construction which will stop all your heat escaping. Even over here in the Uk we have porches on our houses and no kidding, it keeps the house a lot warmer. Double bubble mate! 👍 AND you can keep yur boots and overcoats out there! More space inside the cabin. Believe me, it works. Also, your missus will appreciate it!
Your beauitful family are awesome so is your precious dog . just saying, that life your is the best ever. You make seem easy and comfortable. God bless your family🙏😇😊
Two and a half years and you finally got to have a shower. Bet the wife was pleased. Hey and I think we have the same shower head/pump unit. Works great for us.
Every time I watch this, I am so impressed by the beauty and artistry of your work, and how beautifully these structures bland with the amazing beauty of nature. You are a true artist, in addition to being amazingly talented as a builder. Abundant Joy to you, and thank you for the inspiration you provide.
Twenty years ago, I would bet you never thought you would be a reality show star, be your own production team, and be paid to do the things you love. I am so happy that you are so blessed and thus bless ppl around the world.
I love how you love and talk to your dog. They understand more than we give them credit for. I used to have long conversations with the guy in my avatar. Sadly lost him about a year ago to age related illnesses. They are great companions and I really like all the retrievers.
Admire all the hard work you put into this , love your pup she is incredible..why anyone would give you a thumbs down is beyond me..nefarious people I guess...
Greetings from the Southern US. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your videos, always look forward to them. Cali is the best! Bless you and your family! Stay safe and warm!
There you go making my mouth water again. Everything looks so amazing your hard work really shows. God bless you and your family and Cali who is family.
I would rather watch you and others doing off grid living, than any TV reality drama trash ! Your what’s real entertainment and thank you so much for sharing these beautiful view of natural living and a better way of life !
I love reading all of the comments! Shawn, you're blessed with such true fans. You've definitely paid your dues - hard work; great workmanship; excellent information; the epitome of common sense, (I share those with my young adult grandchildren); mouth watering cooking and the list goes on! And then there's Cali who has captured everyone's heart. Cali is a lucky dog to have you as a partner in her life!
Shawn, What I like is the thickness of the vegetables! If they get fried, you get a bit of brown and crunch, if they are slow cooked they stay whole. Lovely! Regards Stephen.
Shawn, I sure wish you good luck with your Beautiful Lady coming to live with you in the cabin. She may be a outdoors woman, but just can't see her living and bathing in the cabin and sauna without all the modern conveniences. Time will tell! Always enjoy your videos, keep em' coming!
Love this video, ❤❤❤❤ everytime i see Cali i fell in love with her, she is so fun and adorable. The cabin are getting larger and i hope you can make room for Cali too. Take care both of you💌
Cali’s tail wag slightly off frame near the beginning of video is adorable. The addition is looking great and looking forward to seeing it’s completion. Best wishes as always, Mr. James.
The whole site is looking more like paradise each day! I've noticed something though, without a mudroom the cabin is getting some dirt in it. I know building a mudroom is hard work so maybe it will be a good idea to put a small metal grating in the entrance with some plastic sheet underneath it to collect the mud from the shoes and keep the rest of the cabin clean. Anyway, it's been great to see the place grow, greetings from Mexico.
Sir what was your profession before u took up such brave and challenging task.I say challenging to u it is not but to many it would have been impossible .I’ve been watching u and can’t believe your stamina even in the cold weather .I love when u go fishing just amazing to watch.U are a great inspirationt
Simple and excellent idea on the window. Well done! Addition looking good. I wanted to cuddle up with Cali, she looked like the day wore her out. Thanks as always for sharing, and give Cali a BIG SMOOCH from Mike & Ronnie. God Bless
Thank you for another enjoyable video. I can't help but get a big smile at sweet Cali. She is dedicated to fetching no matter the time or temperatures! I'm certain you are really enjoying having the hot showers in the sauna.
LOVIN the log cabin ASMR! Such a treat! Every vid you make is content well enjoyed, Thank you for taking us along. Have a wonderful day/night. Stay safe & warm. 🔨😀👍
Now this is a step in the right direction. A hot shower! Well done. Still waiting for that claw foot tub tho'. When I see you pour your coffee, it's like, yeah, got to put a pot on. I don't know what is wrong with me but just watching you go through your day is relaxing. A wonderful life Shawn. My best to you and yours.
You know I'm addicted to this channel. I'm watching all the video's over again! And Cali always brings a smile to my face. She's so cute!! Great job Shawn and Cali!!
Cali sleeping with her toy was the sweetest thing. She is so adorable.
I love Cali
She always with her toy 😘
PAC
I love the window that opens outward. I think a window box beneath it would add an aesthetic value your wife would love.

Totally agree!
Totally agree. I started watching his UA-cam channel back in 2017. It was soooo soothing!
I agree

I am here from 2 year.
Very nice words 😁👍
BluberryGirl723 really I do not believe his wife will love it there.
Jon Smith You were correct as she is now gone for the foreseeable future. Really horrible place in the summer especially with that additional room not yet screened in.
Cali is beyond precious. Thanks for posting.
I actually laughed out loud when Cali wanted to go out with her toy.
CB Ram , me too... in the dark.
Felt the same way! So sweet!
This video was extra cozy🕯🍳☕️! Thank you.
You are living the dream! I appreciate you putting in the effort and taking the time to make these videos for us to enjoy. Thanks!
His dream yes, but like he said in his video, his wife doesnt share the same dream as he does, which in a way is a good thing, but in the other way is a sad thing, as he cant share what he loves with the person he loves, and they cant appreciate it the same way that he does,
JakubH you truly understand and in a good way. Thank you for thinking like me!!! Most people don’t. I would scream for companionship
I truly feel sorry for him!!
He doesn’t waste not one minute. Always busy. Time must go by very fast but I can see where it would drag by too. I don’t know.

That storage/restroom is looking good, I imagine that sauna and shower sure felt great, then to walk out into that crisp cool air...... refreshing😀
I thought so too! It must have felt so good!
Just like biting into a York Peppermint Patty.
jack ripper 😂
I got a flu watching that scene only.
The only thing he's missing is a lake and in the winter a avanto.
That back window will be very useful to air out the cabin. Great addition!
The best way to live today! No pollution, no city noise, no cars, no queues and especially no neighbors!
The true sense of minimalism!
And chicken wings for 4 😊
Cali is THE happiest dog in all the world for sure! God bless you both....and your family😊!
Coming along nicely, Shawn. Can't wait to see the door cut into the kitchen wall.
This man knows how to live and makes it happen, the best, you can do it series on youtube. Every thing he does is like sitting down to a perfect meal. Here is someone to be respected and inspiring.
I get too excited for these vids!!
Same!!!! Hihihi
Beautiful life. You both look so peaceful and happy. God bless you. 🙏🎄
The sights.....the sounds.....and the most beautiful, happy Cali-girl. 🐕💕🥰
Beautiful Video. Enjoyed it, thank you. I loved the way you ended it, Cali asleep in the chair with her toy. Thank you.
Midnight here in Denmark, but i HAD to see the video! Thank you for sharing with the world.
The first time I watch you doing things in your cabin with your dog very interesting.
Your killing it, the addition is looking awesome and your getting 6-10 views a second. You inspire a lot of people
Your wife will love it and all your hard work. When I saw Kelly standing at the door with her toy I laughed out loud and then her relaxing in the chair warmed my heart. Assuming your wife loves the outdoors as you she will be very happy. An adjustment for sure but what a special opportunity awaits her. Great job love each and every project.
Looks like another perfect day in paradise to me. Hard work, good food, and a best friend.
JonesHuntingAdventures Well spoken. Simple yet powerful.:)
GOOD FOOD did you say good food LOL LOL LOL
That, I did!
@@joneshuntingadventures7971 LOL Like what REALLY
Your videos always make me miss Maine. Just wish I could smell that wood smoke. Thank you for sharing the beauty of life the way it should be.
This is my favourite Food Channel.
Nice to see your shower setup in action - I'm sure that felt real good after all that hard work ... speaking of which, the add-on is looking great -> your wife is going to love it, I hope you asked her input... Empty nesters, I'm sure you'll find something to keep you busy ... the important thing, ENJOY IT!
Shawn everything looks fantastic there at the cabin and Cali is just too adorable sitting on that chair sleeping with her fetch toy .
Great video shawn! I'm sure you cant wait for the wife to join you in your adventure. You're working so hard to make her life comfortable. I hope she enjoys the wilderness life as much as you.
Cali is so sweet! And what wonderful companion:
That room is going to be nice. I know she'll appreciate all the hard work you put into it for her. You'll both get benefit from it but since you did it mostly for her, it is a really special gift of love.
Clever bit of editing there with Cali....she is to too cute. Just a sweet, lovely girl.
I watch your videos mostly at night, they inspire and relax me. I lay my head down at night picturing how I'd build my own cabin. Love your vidoes!
What a great video Shawn!! LOVE Cali sleeping with her baby "orange"!!!
Terri, they both were sleeping......Julia Johnson
Shawn ure place is beautiful I love it sir keep up the good work

Love the look of the new cabin extension.
Watching this video makes me feel wonderful 😊
I would love to live this kind of life. ..One day I will.

I just love your videos! Cali is such an amazing doggy with the sweetest face!
You’re doing an ASMR video without trying and the sounds are lovely!
Good Monday Shawn & Cali! An additional room to the cottage is looking good!
👍😋🍗🍖🍲☕
Your beauitful family are awesome so is your precious dog . just saying, that life your is the best ever. You make seem easy and comfortable. God bless your family🙏😇😊
I absolutely love these videos. Such a good dog too!
Awesome as always bless you at the log cabin 🕊💐
Bought one of those battery powered showers for my cabin but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Probably next year, nice to have some options!
Two and a half years and you finally got to have a shower. Bet the wife was pleased.

It's a kick watching you and your doggie out in the wilderness
Man this "cabin" is becoming a luxury resort. I feel envious 😁
Twenty years ago, I would bet you never thought you would be a reality show star, be your own production team, and be paid to do the things you love. I am so happy that you are so blessed and thus bless ppl around the world.

Cali is the cutest dog on youtube!
You must've just posted this video, we watch the night sky all the time, it's at the same crescent. I love a sauna, very jealous!
There you go making my mouth water again. Everything looks so amazing your hard work really shows. God bless you and your family and Cali who is family.

I love the look those Batten strips add. Cali actually smiles. The Sauna and shower look amazing. Thanks for showing it in action.
I used a battery drop in pump, it's was awesome!! Great when in primitive settings,
Mr. James I am so HAPPY FOR YOU. It is obvious that you are very content. And it is wonderful to see.
yes sir, thank you for putting in the time to let us enjoy with you.
I remember when that sauna was just a log.
😂
C'est toujours un très grand plaisir de revoir les anciennes vidéos. .
I love the smell of fire wood especially cedar
Oh thank goodness, an opening window! You had me worried there for a minute Shawn..loving the 'ladies room ' so far.
Love ur videos and adore Callie!😍
Aww Cali is so sweet. What a great friend you have.
Now this is a step in the right direction. A hot shower! Well done. Still waiting for that claw foot tub tho'. When I see you pour your coffee, it's like, yeah, got to put a pot on. I don't know what is wrong with me but just watching you go through your day is relaxing. A wonderful life Shawn. My best to you and yours.
You know I'm addicted to this channel. I'm watching all the video's over again! And Cali always brings a smile to my face. She's so cute!! Great job Shawn and Cali!!
