I know you still grocery shop for some things and make store purchases for supplies and clothing, but it still just amazes me how you've built a place in the wild completely free from the grid and that it's of a quality that you can actually live in it year around, if you so desire to. Just so simplistic, yet so bountiful. Such freedom. Thanks so much for your channel and all of your efforts to share your experiences there with us. So inspirational. ATB.

Animals are amazing and interesting to watch. We used to leave food for the wildlife when the winters were really harsh. A true hunter is one who appreciates nature for its beauty and sustenance. You epitomize this philosophy. Have a great week, James. Happy Tuesday from Japan.

The most beautiful thing about you are your hands! -How lovely you have made your house alone !Amazing!!

I enjoyed the animals at the pumpkin too. I spent an hour watching a chipmunk and a squirrel working on their respective halves of a pumpkin on the front porch. It has been years since that happened, and I had forgotten how cute it was. Thanks for reminding me.

I love the twinkle in your eye when you chat about the privacy of your loft.

What a beautiful blue sky.

It's getting a routine.. Having dinner and watching your videos. Can't get enough of you and Cali. Cali is so amazing with you, i can see my Seberian husky in her. so protective and smart!

Man, you are such a decent and kind person! You don't waste energy on anything that isn't positive, it seems. Your words (always informative and helpful) AND actions (staying Green like you do). Thank you for being genuine.

It is great that you are going to volunteer to help the deer in your area survive a hard winter.

If nobody gets a Bigfoot pic soon with all these trail cameras around I may start to think they aren't real haha

Hello, I'm from Russia! Long look, Your video and admire you!!! I love to watch Your videos and watch... You!!! 😍👍❤it's amazing... Every day I wait for the continuation of your video!!! 🏠😘 Sorry, if, that not so wrote! English, I don't know well!!!

Thanks to technical novelties, we know what is living around us and about the habits of the inhabitants of the forest, we feel safe at the occasions. Great vlog Shawn!!!

Hi Shawn, I discovered your videos a few days ago and I enjoy them so very much. The house you built is so perfect and looks always so clean and so neat. I admire the work you have done. I like so much the color of the logs. I am amazed that when you drive a nail it is always right and when you put a shelf it is always perfectly straight. I use square or angle and level and it is always very difficult even for easy things. You are a fabulous carpenter. Things seem so easy with you. Many many thanks for what you give us. I am very far (Paris France) and the beauty of the landscape you show us is extraordinary. What impresses me is the light. Except when it is snowing or raining the sky seems always so clear and the light is almost violent. Thanks again. R. M.

The wildlife where you are is just incredible

I love that you update us like this, and so fun to hear about the animal behavior in the area you live in :D

Thanks for taking time for the update. I enjoy the Beautiful pictures of Wildlife.

Anxiously awaiting the completion of the stairs :)

Metric system for the win. Thanks for these videos. I'm under extreme stress at the moment and your videos help me a lot to calm down. All power to you. You are an inspiration for all of us.

Love seeing the array of wildlife around the cabin, so cool!

I Loved watching the Snowshoe Hare check out the pumpkin at 6:53 and more. First, he sniffs the top of the pumpkin . . then sniffs the bottom. Just cool as it can be. Also, I have never seen HOW a Snowshoe Hare changes from brown to white; it apparently happens from the feet up. SO COOL.

That landscape is so beautiful and yet deadly. Stay warm my friend.

I'm often glued to the news.. Because I think we're on the precipice of something akin to a revolutionary self reliance movement.. Anyway.. I want you to know, You're my relief. 100% .. You're my voice of reason /sanction in this crazy world. Your videos remind me of the sane world and the checks and balances that dictate the natural world..effortlessly. Thank you so much. Really

Excited to see the new build..... stay strong, stay safe, and keep warm. X 🌈👏💖😘

Thanks for the update Shawn!🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸👍🏻

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the completed staircase. 🐶🐰🐻🐇

Trail cams are fun to watch. Love the wildlife in the Forest glad you share them with us

Thank you , Shawn .

Thank you for sharing your amazing wildlife pictures, looking forward to seeing more about your project. God bless you and your family

vos vidéos sont super ! je ne me lasse pas de les visionner. BRAVO !!! et merci pour le partage ! Thanks for sharing

Love your trailcam videos. Nature is amazing

Very interesting and educational for sure. Thanks for sharing your trail cams,experiences and knowledge. I love you doing trail cams in winter, very fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing, sharing is caring!

So Beautiful 🎄☃️ I absolutely love all the snow ❄️

Great work on the new stairway, thank you for the trail cam footage and Callie.

Nice wild life you got on your cam. The stairs are looking great. Have a good one.

Thn for sharing,...stay Blessed

Love the wildlife videos. So cool to see what they do when they are not so guarded.

I am loving the wildlife cam. Thank you.

Thanks again Shawn, all good stuff. :)

I always enjoy wild life and the forest. It renews itself and never gets old. Isn't it interesting how much is missed by human eyes. 'Ole Cali always stealing the show … she's funny. On your point about security … cover your cabin's door hinges ( pulled pins give access ). Thanks for sharing.

Hi Shawn, nice short video about wild life around the cabin. That gives me sometimes to catch up with your previous videos. You've got already a lot of snow compare to us in Finland. The positive side is the light snow brings, right now it is so dark here. We only have day light from 09:00 to 16:00 and less until the beginning of next year. Take care and best regards from Finlande, Pascal

Proper cold white winter. Bliss :-)

Thanks Shawn, as always :)

Greetings from Switzerland. I like very much what are ou doing. Thanks for the vídeos!!!

Absolutely beautiful, seeing all the wildlife.

thank you for the video. always a pleasure to watch

Beautiful scenery

Great video Shawn, some good looking food to be harvested around you. Living off the land is for real . Thanks for sharing.

Love the trail cam pics. Hope you show us more👍👍

Nice to see what's going on in your part of the world keep warm

Great video Shawn, some really good footage there.

thanks Shawn for the nice cam pictures have a nice week

Hi Shawn，very good Monday video & take care！❄☃️

Keep warm and keep the dog safe. Good show.

It's always so interesting to look at what trail/security cameras captured. You never know what's going to stroll by your house in the middle of the night.

cant wait to see the loft area

Really nice camera footage. Thanks.

i sure do love your videos-great deer pictures-and also a well trained companion

I put out a Halloween pumpkin, bag of apples and salt a couple of weeks back, got over 2 hours of wildlife footage from that combo including deer and yotes. I've had a wildlife trail cam out there since the start of my channel. It's one of the main features. Subs have come to give some of the frequent visitors names!

I don’t know what’s wrong with me..... I always give like before watching the video. Because I always know that the video deserve more than a like. I got a long story. But short story. I’m 38 and always planned to retire on 40. By the looks of it I’m ready for an early retirement 😊. And that’s because of you. To learn from you wats important in life.

Another great video!

I really enjoy watching wildlife on my trail cams. Actually some times I just go sit in the woods in my camo and just watch them.. I find their habits interesting. Had a good year deer hunting this year. Hope you have success..

Hello! First time writing I live in mountains of north Ga.I have watched for a long time .I really enjoy your building and living like you do . I have visited some east of your area in my younger days .I have hunted and fished my whole life so I can relate.I do some woodworking and own a small bandmill I saw my own wood when I need it I'm building a blacksmith shop to make a few things. I learned this from my dad in the 60's .Am now retired and poke around at several trades when my health lets me.Keep up the good vidos.I really enjoy them.

Thank you for the videos

Hello Canada felicitări.

Good stuff. Nice job with the trail cams.

Hey reaching out for the first time here on your channel. I found your videos a couple weeks ago and have been getting caught up on all your seasons since (currently on Season 2 Episode 14). Love the content and the cabin. Love to hear that you were a fan of Dick Proenneke right off the start as he is always the first person I think of when I see a log cabin. Ever since watching PBS specials on Dick Proenneke when I was 7 years old I have always wanted to attain those skills and live a similar lifestyle in some form. Really cool to have found a channel that is basically in a sense a modern day Dick Proenekke show with weekly uploads haha. Thanks for sharing with us what you do and have done man, really neat stuff. And also very savvy of you to be making a living off of it and showing people that it is not that hard to do and to always encourage others that it is attainable. I am in the process of applying for carpentry school for next fall and hope to in a few years have enough money for a plot of land somewhere in Saskatchewan to do something similar (off grid, sustainable, eco construction and living). Cheers from Montreal.

I just love Your channel. Greetings from Poland.

Good luck with the bow hunt. Thanks for the update.

The best way to confirm a moose track is when there's a moose standing in them ...... Dave - 2018 ~8^) Take care.

Hi! i discovered your channel 2 weeks ago because of your collab with joe! Just wanted to say you got a new subscriber. I binge watched a lot of your videos and I really enjoy your work. Love from Québec!

Loved it

Amazing video. I just found you channel and I love it! I’m going to share with my friends

Shawn, Just shows everyone loves a pumpkin. They are so versatile. You can eat them, keep them, decorate your house with them, shoot them and feed the wildlife with them! What's not to like 😀. Regards Stephen.

Hello James,very good video,keep up the good work.I'm watching your video from Latvia (Europe)

Hello from Australia again, Shawn and Cali, it's always good to have a catchup even if it's not a long catchup, things keep moving along, it might be very cold but you still manage to get jobs done, I love watching how it's all going! The trail cameras are great too to get an idea on who else is watching what you are doing! That bear that was on your property a while ago, is that the bearskin on the wall now in the cabin? Till I view again, take care , keep warm and love that dog! 🐶

thanks again GOD bless from il

Not sure if you would want to spend the money but there are some new trail cameras that offer a direct link to your cell phone to view images and there are others that send their images wirelessly to one "home" camera so you don't have to go around to each one to check cards. Cuddeback Cuddelink.

Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱! Keep that amazing work!

Hey Shawn I saw a chain saw log processing tool it cuts the notches And debarks log so cool
