Me too

I love and are inspired by what you have done with timber. That Log cabin is amazing and reminds me of Grizzly Adams. I certainly could live that type of life. So much less stressful but yet fulfilling. Making your own meals, living off the land, building everything from what nature has to offer. I can smell that good food over here in Australia.

What a gift God has given you, Shawn James. I just started watching your channels and I just love them. I just sit for hours and watch video after video. Retired. I live in a small Indiana town. I love a primitive, rustic, country feel. Your wife is blessed to have you, and you are very blessed to have each other. May God bless your self reliance lifestyle, but we both know He is the one in control of your cool rains of blessings. That beautiful four legged creature, Cali is adorable!!! You two are a good fit! :)

Shawn, I've been following your channel since your second or third video ( cant remember clearly ), and I must say I have noticed how you have changed. At the beginning you were somewhat a bitter man, disappointed and fed up with other "people" / your surrounding trying to get the best of you. But you knew life is beautiful, you struggled, never gave up, you believed in something, you have worked hard on fulfilling that dream + you had your family supporting you, and now.... now we can see you smiling :) and what a beautiful smile it is ! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us... Much respect and love from Serbia.

That bear lasagne looked delicious, your brilliant porch is going to offer some fabulous sit out and relax opportunities with a nice beer at dusk time! Cali sounded like a steam train at around 12 minutes into the film! What a sweet natured girl she is, it must be wonderful to see her again after your trip, she is so faithful. Thanks for posting Shawn and best wishes to family James.

Lovely to see both you and Cali back at it again with the cabin videos. A pleasure to watch my favourite duo. Amazing upload

Sean, I’ve enjoyed your videos so much I’ve recently bought an additional 15 acres giving me 22 total and I’m starting to clear my cabin site! I love the way you’re living! I’ve had a make shift cabin for 3 years on 7 acres learning the land I’ve got lots of wild plants and mushrooms to forage! I’ll be using a lot of your ideas and also building with my dog! Thanks for working so hard to provide a great peaceful series to watch! I’ll get back at cha! ❤️

Home w Covid. Watching all of your videos. Completely relaxed and frequently hungry 1/2 way through. I dose off. Wake up and there’s a porch, bear lasagna, and baked bread. 😮 This channel is the best remedy for 2021-2022. 🙌🤍🪶

Thank You for the videos from Alaska. Very good! I miss You in the cabin, home in Your cabin. 😘😍😊🍀🐕❤

Glad to have you and Cali back buddy 😁🌎🇺🇸🗽🌴🌴🌴🌴

I cant get enough of your videos Sean! This is one of my favorite channels on KZread. I could sit and watch for hours, which i have already done. I hope you continue uploading for years to come. Thank you for what you do, and thank you for being Real. Love ya, bro....peace....

Watching from the Phillipines i admire what you believe in mean leaving city life and enjoying the wilderness...commonly we humans want to reach the promised land without going through the wilderness...but you...again you’re enjoying it and giving meaning to it which for me is good for the consumption of your young followers.

When you finish rendering the fat, strain it through cotton muslin or equivalent fabric. That will remove the tiny bits that pass through your strainer. You can render additional fat from those crackling, if you continue rendering in an oven (of some type). Better heat control, at that stage, to prevent burning. After, as much fat, as is practical, is rendered, the cracklings will keep for a while. Great for munching, seasoning of vegetables, and added to bread dough. Nothing goes to waste. When I was a kid, we rendered pork lard using my Mother's castiron washpot. Used a wooden paddle (like a small boat paddle) to keep them stirred. BTW, once the included pork skin was done (before it turned crispy) it was delicious in one of Mama's homemade biscuits. Especially when standing around the fire under that washpot on a cold December day. (Traditional butchering day in my part of the southeast USA.)

That's one cool outdoor kitchen.

"But, Daddy, wasn't that a duck? You *don't* want me to fetch it????" Cali looked so confused by that loon :D What a masterclass of a video! It is clear you are rejuvenated by the Alaska adventure--your energy is back, and your serenity, the excitement has returned. Cali is drawn by it, plus she doesn't want you to sneak off again for 2 weeks!!! She was so happy to be with you again. And then there's the cooking.....That lasagna looked soooooo omigosh good!!!!

Interesting watching your build projects. You have inspired me to renovate an old 1940 shiplap shed in my back yard! Anytime a lady puts a three ton jack to good use... well, the neighbors are talking! Once it's done, I'll be putting on a porch ala Shawm James... thanks for doing what you do so well, and sharing it.

Haven't watched in awhile (been on leave for a month, went on a few adventures myself), just watching now and had to pause to say that the friggin lasagna looks sooooo good. I've only had bear a few times, and that was probably 20 years ago (they don't get harvested often in South West Nova Scotia) but I do remember I really enjoyed it. As always thanks for sharing your days with us.

As I sat intently focused on the great chief and wilderness adventurer Grizzley Shawn preparing what appeared to be a wonderful meal of bear lasagna, my thoughts drifted to the can of clam chowder that awaited me a couple of hours down the road, when it suddenly dawned on me that life certainly isn't always fair. Lol. Great video!

Every dang time I watch one of these Shawn James films, I end up hitting the fridge for more eats. 👍🤣😉

That bear lasagna looks delicious! I grew up on bear meat. Freshwater fish, moose, deer, beaver, frog legs, & grouse too. Nothing better than wild game. Love your videos!

This is what the cooking channels should look like 👌🏼

Turn on the captions if you wanna laugh at what construction sounds like . Saws laughter , hammering music, cooking applause, lol great job on the deck .

Hi Mr. James, thank you for showing this Video it was awesome ! Good to see you back at the Cabin . Greatings - Walter

Feels like you've been gone a long time! Really glad you are back to the cabin cooking, building, teaching us stuff and especially enjoying the fruits of your labors. Missed Cali too.🐶❤

Your videos always make me hungry and remind me how dull most of my hand saws are!

I am mesmerized with these lovely videos. Beautifully filmed...just the right combo of solitude, silence, reflection, stories and info. It is amazing how they affect me and how much I appreciate and admire the gorgeous setting... your kindness, calmness, reverence and humbleness . Wanna foster world peace?... start everyday with a Shawn James vid!

You are proud to. accompllish all the that you have done .That's a great thing wow!

0:13 Man that is a beautiful little cabin. Really looking forward to what's next.

I love that kitchen. I had to stop eating that way though. I had a massive heart attack this past June. I'm 51, genetics and years of ignoring my diet finally had it's consequences. I had a triple bypass and I feel better than I have since my 30's. So this is my second chance and I will make the most of it. However my outdoor kitchen that I will build myself on my camp lot will see less fat and more fiber. My advice to those in their late 40's early 50's, if you feel yourself slowing down and think that you are just getting old. Get yourself to your doctor and listen to him/her.

It seems like families coming over to visit you enjoy your dinner

Yes I feel like cooking something right away!!!!!.....love all of your vidios..........they bring peace and quiet into my life!!!!!!!!

I hope that your work will expand in new constructions so that we enjoyed your wonderful and interesting videos

Shawn, you're bringing back my rough framing days from 40 years ago, no nailguns, but we used wormdrive skilsaws.... those 20d's or bigger spikes look fun, remember to "oil your elbows" at the end of the day, haha!

Wow, Shawn you are quite the Chef too. Bear Lasagna. I love those Wide noodles you used. The food looked just amazing, and the herbs from your garden. You seem very content with your life, when it is obviously at your favorite place. These videos are captivating and I can't wait for the next ones. Keep up the great projects and meal preparations. Again thanks for sharing.

gosh shawn ,,the dream you are living ,,how i would have give it all to sit next to you and have some of this amazing bear lasagna ,,i wish i could do all this ,learning from you ,,,enjoy this fantastic place you build brother ,,,love it so much and thank you to give back to us some of this magic

Well done sir! That's good livin' and good food.

This video was fabulous, theres so much that i loved. When you were on the porch building and took a break and were talking about it and how the sun was at different times of day and in different seasons, and the wind direction..well I loved it all. The cooking, adding and talking about the ingredients...guess what I will have for breakfast soon..lol. People in the normal city don't hardly look up nor notice the birds singing nor the animal sounds etc.. I do now especially since I am home mostly and close to country. I am a N.Y city kid and now couldnt live in a big city anymore but to visit. If I were rich there IS farmland in N.Y statr tho. Hi Cali..anyway... Thank you for sharing with us.

Your focus, purpose and economy of motion is impressive. So is your appetite

This lasagne gave me diabetes of the eyes and I don't wanna turn back

On vacation this week and got to watch early! Enjoyed the heck out of Alaska... So good to be back at the cabin though!

Wouaaaah. That's all I can say today. Thank you again. Your images are so vividly capturing the reality, it can't be more real.

You are not only a great and inspirational builder but also a good cook God bless you

Bear to Shawn:...."Am extremely pleased to be of service to you!". Shawn: "Your service is well noted, thank you"! Joking aside, the meal you prepared looked delicious.

I'm so envious. I wish I had the skills, tools and land to do this. Living like this has been my dream since I was in grade school.

Thank you for inspiring me to introduce my family to a natural healthy way of living Mister Reliance. you have giving me an ideal that I can truly make possible. I love your videos. Please keep it going. btw, I been up all night watching them.
