I think Cali is the most popular dog on You Tube. I know she is the sweetest. I know you take good care of her. May she live a long and peaceful life. Love you and your family. You are so smart and talented.

Cali's always completing side quests in the background, she has her own matters to attend to 😂. Thanks for the upload Shawn, have a good weekend and take care.

Cali loves that canoe ride for sure! Leave it to Cali to find/retrieve a dog toy in the middle of the Canadian wilderness!!

Callie was so eager to go canoeing, it must be one of her favorite adventures.

Callie is a beautiful, sweet and mild mannered dog. She is truly a wonderful companion and friend.

A number of years ago I did an 80 mile canoe/portage trek on the Boundary Waters in Minnesota with my son. It was one of the greatest weeks we spent together in the outdoors. Now at 58 and him being 30, I think it’s time we do it again. Thanks for the inspiration.

Yes, please go for it. I lost my only child/son last October. We used to take him fly fishing which we love to do. You never think your child will go before you…I didn’t. Would love to be out in the river with him during a hatch! Enjoy your son and hold him tightly ❤️.

It's been hard figuring out all that you have done, until today. The overhead drone shot shows how massive your workings really are. Very impressive Shawn.

You have great respect for nature. Wonderful way to honor that fallen tree.

​@@MySelfRelianceMr. James, this is off the subject of this video but I was wondering if you've started a new channel called "Life in forest". It is your past material in a sped up format. It appears that it was started in January of this year. The description for the channel does not sound like something you would say. I'm wondering if someone is improperly using your material. Best regards from the Desert Southwest!

So funny how far Cali stuck her nose in your canteen to get a good sniff. What a blessing to know her love. And the blessings of the areas you get to share in our beautiful province 🇨🇦👵👏🥰

Thank God for giving man such a loving and trusted partner in Dogs!!

Nice job bringing down that tree! That was some great looking syrup, and terrific breakfast with the family!

Good call on the tree 🌳 Better to be safe than sorry ! I noticed how rich the soil looks there around the workshop and was wondering if it would be feasible to use some of that in the garden ,like a little here and there without taking away the nutrients for the trees? Really cool canoe trip Shawn 'It was so funny how excited Cali girl was to go for a ride 😄 even if it was in your friends boat 😂 shes so silly and adorable ❤️ Good to see the whole family with ya and wow what an abundance of maple syrup this year 😃 Aloha Em' its good to see you and miss ya and your Channel ❤ Have a wonderful weekend friends and see ya next week ❤🌲 🐕 🍁 🐻

That's a Man right thurrr!!! That looks like a nice life!! Hard work for a sandwich for sure!!! Thanks for the very good video. Callie str8 up understands english that is so awesome

I’ve said it before LOVE Callie! What a wonderful dog she is ! She makes me smile watching her supervise all the activities and construction. It really warms my heart to see a dog so happy and loved and appreciated, you are a fantastic dog “Dad”

Always enjoy your posts Mr. James. Stay blessed.

You know that it's spring in Ontario when it's sunny and mild in march and snowing and cold in April 😂

Callie is so funny at one point she was behind a tree couldn't see her at all but that tail was waving gently! Since that is such a prime location for a tree maybe you could plant a sapling for the future.

You can tell Cali loves to ride in the canoe

It’s so beautiful there Shaun. Callie is enjoying her life too. And , She found a treasure…lol❤❤. ❤love her

SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! Man was OUR CALI digging into the soil there !!! Glad you got the Maple Syrup this year for you & the family !!! Glad to hear Emily voice again it sounded so strong & healthy !!!

I would love to see a multiple videos on tools. Details on tools when fishing/line weights, lures knives, nets, books, for certain fish etc. Tools used for bow hunting-types of bows, arrows, Broadheads,quivers, books, etc.. Tools for turkey hunting. Tools for deer hunting etc. I think it would be very helpful. Love your channel--it’s the BEST!

That was very nice of Cali to bring you both on that canoe trip! One of the best looking dogs on KZread.

Thanks Shawn your decision to take that tree down had to be a good one and the syrup looks delicious. Hey Cali! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Cali is my hero!! Thank you for giving her a chance at the best dog life available.

I enjoyed this video, especially the canoe ride. I was as anxious as Cali was it was beautiful so relaxing. What a beautiful life. I realize there is work to do a lot is strenuous work. You choose this life so I know you love it, that is what it’s all about. I love your way of living your way of life, honestly it doesn’t get any better than that. Real nice to have your wife, friends, visiting enjoying some of what you enjoy everyday. I enjoy my visit always do. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.😊

I genuinely enjoy starting my weekend watching these videos as it helps me unwind. I have been starting an orchard of my own and hope to start building on my property soon.

Good morning from Alabama, yeah I thought the tree was going to fall on the house to, yummy the pancakes and bacon looks delicious 😋 happy Friday 👍👏🐕‍🦺

You've been working hard as usual. Glad you take time out to enjoy the natural beauty all around you and take a break.

That's hilarious Cali found that tennis ball it's funny growing up fishing with my dad when I see water I always look for the best place to cast a fishing line in hopes of pulling out a big native trout.😊

The canoe trip was great! Absolutely beautiful country.

Encore de merveilleux paysages! Cali ne peut pas être dans un plus bel endroit, tout lui convient… l’eau , les promenades, beaucoup d’animaux à surveiller et un humain qui lui fait vivre une belle vie de chien. Que la vie vous garde en santé pour profiter longtemps de votre coin de paradis. Christine St-Onge, Province de Québec, Mauricie.

Breakfast looked delicious , especially with the family around the table. Cali finding that tennis ball was so funny. I’m with you about trees, hate to see them come down but sometimes it can’t be helped.

Hello, old friend, I'm glad to see you again, good luck🍁🍁🍁

Cali is so sweet, truly an example of man's best friend

Glad you and Cali are ok. ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🖖🏻🐾

Shawn! You have the best friend in the world🐕 Greeting from Belgrade😊

ALOHA FROM KAUAI 🐻 GOOD MORNING SHAWN and Cali 🐕 🍁

OMG …it’s Friday. Great to see you and Cali camping.

Never question you!!!

A hard choice..but..it's time had come..Great job on the fall pattern.. Glad there was minimal damage...in the fall area!! C ya on the next video! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐺🧙‍♂️!

Dude! Happy to see you and Kali on line again! I hope the break was for good reasons, Vacations for fun and the like? Not for ailments or sickness? As we get older, I'm in my 60's. One never knows what surprise comes after one's warrantee expires? LOL

Beautiful video, so relaxing. Glad everybody is safe.

Yeah that big tree needed to be taken down or eventually it would’ve fell on your building, Good video 👍🏼

Great video, my husband and really enjoyed it, especially the canoe trip thank you

Me and my wife love your videos! Been watching your channel for a while now. Had the pleasure of meeting you in person at a gas station in BC last September, I was star struck. What a treat you added to my trip. Just wanted to tell you that your videos are what really inspired me to make my own wood creations in the wildness. Thank you for your videos and hopefully we get to cross paths again, and this time I have more to say instead of being tongue tied.

Hello Shawn from Pickwick Minnesota

Living through you Perhaps in my next life Thank you Matt Hudson Valley, NY

I love your content, when I can't get out, moreover it's hard for me to watch when I'm sopose to be out. When I get to age 60, I'm going to start winding things down and go live in the woods again. Thanks again for taking us along.

So many times I have seen that familiar look on Cali's face which says, "My Dad can do anything. I am so proud to be one of his girls!"

Hermosísima familia, y bella esposa

Poderiam traduzir o que ele fala. Como gosto de pescar , já vivi alguns pedaços destes com meu saudoso Pai. É muita saudade, gostava de viver cada momento. Lugares lindos, rios, peixes, 🦆🐟🐾🍂🍁🔥🏕🇧🇷
