I lost my "daughter" ..Benzy 12yrs Old...15days back..i loved&adored how your pooch followed you..just like my dearest Benzy...RIP.

There are some folks out there who live day to day and so cut off from the rest of the world they have no idea what was, has or is in current events. That's simple living to some, but having a home, growing your own food / medicines and just everyday life is hard work. I remember when mom only went to the store for flour (25lb bag of Robin Hood), sugar and yeast. Of course there were some other items like canning lids, sewing thread, dress material. Her and my grandmother did it all. We went barefoot in summer, saved up for a new pair of shoes for school and winter time wore rubber goulashes over them for protection against the foul weather. We have too much nowadays. Kids no longer look forward to saving up for things, it's all instant gratification. I miss those days dearly, gone are the old folks who tried to teach us and now we're left with only a few memories. Appreciate what you have. If you have plenty, share and give till it hurts. Is good to be humble.

Building, cooking, chopping wood, scouting the forest...all are excellent videos. My wife and I watch each and every one, thanks for posting this.

Shawn you remind me so much of my dad he did so much, stayed busy all the time and loved to build and restore things, fewer and fewer like him and you each generation and I blame that on society, we have let our core values and work ethics slip. I thank you for showing people there is another way and I hope this inspires them to follow in your foot steps.

The most beautiful oven I've ever seen ..! Ingenious solution for baking ...

A good item to have for 18th Century Reenactors. Had one of these made at Fishkill Supply Depot in Fishkill, NY. I am with the 5TH NY Regiment who has used it a few times. LOL! You even used the bare feet with building, good for you. Using logs inside the mold is a good idea.

I really like how the earthen oven turned out. You have done a terrific job on your shelter for the oven and your house. Going to look at a few back episodes I missed. Keep up the good work.

After I saw the construction of the oven, it inspired me to build an oven at home. My congratulations for the achievement obtained.

I have seen this before when you first made the oven, but I enjoyed watching it again. Actually I could watch all your videos again. I find them very calming, interesting and informative, not to mention that I love the fact your off the grid!

Love the video Sean love the cooking videos and love when you have people over at the cabin

Man, you sure are A gifted hard-working man everything you do it’s heavy duty And weld built ,thank you for sharing your many talents it’s a blessing to see you built things from your own imagination .God has richly Bless you ,Aman.

I do look forward to any videos by Shawn, he walks the walk for sure! Kudos

I love how you incorporate artist touches to your functional work. Love the bear claw. I enjoy working with wood and other natural elements to create functional art.

Keep the positive vibes

We love hearing from you! All your footage is enjoyable! Beautiful scenery always! ❤️❤️❤️

On a 0°F day what a joy to see the warn sun and birds singing. I guess there is hope. Also I've watched the complete series but this was the first time I noticed the bear paw design. Nice touch. Thanks for posting on such a cold day.

It was so nice to watch this shortened version of the oven build! I remember the difficulty you had drying the oven out, the food coming out of the oven makes you forget the hurdles you encountered! Great video Shawn & thanks for making and sharing!

Шон, восхищён твоей работой. Поучительно, здорово.

Yes I watched you make this amazing earthen oven ! It was a lot of work and it came out great ! Your different camera views are amazing too ! Thank you !

Come the end of the world, this guy gets very popular everybody needs to learn👍👍👍👍

My second time around, some nuances that I missed the first time. Very clever design, like the patterns of the wood ends. GOOD STUFF Thank You Shawn. Give a big hug to Cali. Mike and Ronnie

Marvellous editing ...👍🏻 just love your vlogs Shawn ... soo interesting ...love from California

I admire your perseverance.

Thank you for the build video. My son just started following your site and he loves seeing how things are built.

OH NO!!! Oh well ,that's how we learn Shawn. Best of everything to you and Family from outside Chicago, Illinois.

Always entertaining! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Shawn! I really like the organization of your videos and the option to look at the condensed versions.

Love all of your building videos...you are very talented. It seems so peaceful there. Looking forward to more videos

Never gets old!

Thank you , Shawn .

love these combined summary videos of your builds. Your cabin build consolidation is still my fav but really enjoy this one too.

This was good to see again.

Still awesome. All the things you build and think of building. 👍🏼 Shawn you can count on me watching all your videos.

Never gets old.

Great compilation!! Refreshing to see green vegetation. Although is beautiful seeing snow it won’t be long to turn green again. Great video. God bless!

that oven is a thing of beauty

Refreshing to see it once again. Thanks for putting it up very nicely Shawn.

Wow, you couldn't have built it better! Beautiful job.

You are one very talented man. Well done.

As a loyal subscriber, I had seen this previously in all of your videos, this was a great compilation of the building of this amazing oven. It reminds me that you are not afraid to show your hiccups in the processes of building this amazing homestead. Thank you for another great video!🌲

WOW>>>>>>>>>>>> everything a person could want---a pizza oven in the woods!

Wow, you did a great job!

That was AWESOME!!!

Well done! I love that you included your mis-steps as well as the eventual success. Thanks for the upload and all the hours of entertainment I have gained watching you

Love everything My Self Reliance.

I enjoyed watching the whole construction of the oven. The Pizza looks so delicious.

I literally have a hard time dragging myself away from your videos! Thank you so much for sharing 🙃🙃

Excellent job, looks really beautiful, & works great! Thank you for sharing

Worth to watch the repeat any time

You are definately an artist!!!

Beautiful!

Incredible work...

What's not to like😊 you build an oven and cook the food😋 now that's what I call a handyman. Loved watching ..... very entertaining.

Great format. Very educational to see how it is done. Thank you very much.

In it's pure form of just the build to the finished bread n Turkey presentations... The build video is in it's self, captivating! I watched earlier as you did other things along with the build, n enjoyed it, but, this view was much more in-depth " build", I really learned more from this style! Thanks! ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida😎👍!

Absolutely inspiring to watch. Mouthwatering ending 👍👍👍

Hi, Shawn! I love your irregular videos. I always look forward to adding something. 🙌❤

I love all of your videos, Sir..thank you

Cooking at up to 800+ is great fun. I've worked on every aspect of building an oven, cooked in several but have never done one from start to finish. I like your approach to using what's on hand for a build. Someday...

I remember in the past on my grandmother's homestead she would do a "bread bake" to take advantage of the fuel necessary to heat the oven. She would make several loaves plus about 1/2 loaf extra dough. She used the extra as a timer. When the oven was ready, she raked out the fire, shoved the loaves in then the extra dough was used as a gasket around the door. When the dough of the gasket was done, so were all the loaves. We kids used to grab the gasket dough and munch on it. It was a bit cindery, but we loved it.

Attention to detail and great work, thank you for the video.

Thanks for your videos. You inspired me to get more outside and do some little bushcrafting with my 2 year old daughter.

Nice to watch it again Shawn. Atb

Great project.Nothing like clay oven to get a real flavor of food.

That was just so great to watch!

I have so much fun watching your videos ! Love from The Netherlands

Great vid Shaun, very relaxing..Cali is such a big helper

Now that’s an awesome oven!

I, for one, prefer your videos that include "cabin life" along with your construction, fishing or exploring activities. But I understand that some wish for the "Cliff NoTes" versions if their only interest is in construction. Thanks for sharing your work!

beautiful ...peace of art only problem is that all the smoke goes directly to your eyes

I love the concrete bottom👍and that clay thing looks cool too.

Incredible.

very cool! love the earth work! hats off to you!

Videos like this should have a love button to click

Truely inspiring! Heading out to finush my oven!

I definitely want one of those ovens.

It was great to watch Evan your woodworks beautiful job as well Well done

Just blows my mind how talented you are not everyone can do this type of stuff if they could then we would all be building our own lol

Excellent Shawn, I ran the build in 2x speed and it was very enjoyable.. Peace Brother

I saw the original video but this was way better.Besides,I saw every other rerun back when I watched TV. Yours are far better.! Thanks.

I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS , I LEARN A LOT FROM THEM , AND THEY ARE SO RELAXING , I DO PLAN ON BUILDING MY OWN OVEN THIS SUMMER , I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEXT VIDEO , THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOU ADVERTISERS WITH US, LOVE AND PRAYERS FROM INDIANA ,U.S.A.

I didn't mind seeing it build again Shawn. Thank you for sharing this with us. 👍😁

Nice work man👍

Great to re-watch this ... that was when I had first found the channel... then I was hooked. Thanks Shawn.. greetings from Los Angeles.

Great Effort mate !

Wonderful!

Inacreditável seus conhecimentos! Como eu gostaria de estar aí com você, Shawn!

I admire your life. I'm stuck here in a city, working like a slave and I never seem to have money left when all my bills are paid. And I'm a poet and I didn't even know it :) I will have this lifestyle soon. I'm just trying to save some money for the food I'll need until I become self sufficient. I have my eye on Spain a the moment. I'm in Ireland.

Well that's my dream man. He can do so much things he's very intelligent.

Every time I go back and watch this. I’m in total aw of the turkey. I can actually smell it. Would have loved just to be there and watch. The sharp knife slowly, oh so gently. Slice into that succulent bird. Looked like it just feel apart. Looking forward to the finishing touches on the sauna. Great job as always...

That is awesome.. well done ..love your videos

Well done.

Great video. Extremely helpful

Anyone else reminded of 'Close encounters of the third kind'?

Even though i watched you build this last year i still like to watch the full build video you make after its complete. I was gonna ask if you were gonna make one after the sauna is complete but now im just gonna expect it.Hahahaaa. Everything is looking awesome.

shawn love your videos

Thank you for the video .

Nicely done**

Yes, I have seen it, all of your videos. Take care!

Fantastic job and very good video.
