Incredible build. This cabin is even better than the last one, and the previous one was already impressive.

I think Shawn had a premonition all along that he would not be settling down in that first place. He even mentioned once or twice that he might be building a larger cabin. And this was before The Jerk.

Truly a thrill watching your dream cabin progressing closer to a finished, livable state! Your ability to get this done as a one man team is truly astounding!! Great progress sir!

If you can harness the energy in Cali's tail wagging you would not need any solar power. She is living the best life ever. Your cabin is the best one ever. Step by step and enjoying the process along the way.

You better never give up the location of this place or you’re going to have so many tourists.. that is one nice cabin!

I am glad to see you're closing the cabin in before harsh winter weather sets in and makes work more difficult. That's a nice spud haul, but you might want to consider potato towers next year. Higher yields and and less space used. Plus it's easier on your back. You are an inspiration to all of us wannabees.

I have to say you're one incredibly blessed man. God has given you a great family, and has given you this awesome dream, and vision, along with the strength, long life, and patients to build this awesome work of live in art. You're cabin is looking beautiful, and I pray the Lord extend your health, and life so you, and your family can enjoy it, and the natural surroundings, and create a lifetime of wonderful memories for your children, and grandchildren. You may not be a multi millionaire, or billionaire, but you're living a rich, and wonderful life, that's more valuable, than all the money you could ever want, or acquire. This is what being truly rich is all about.

I have to admit, I watch your videos about 1 hour before going to bed. Simply because after watching the hard work I'm exhausted and sleep like a log.

Hey Shawn, I bought a 4 lb chicken yesterday from my local farmers market here in the high country of North Carolina. The seller and I chatted and your youtube channel when it came up during our conversations about self reliance. He said your work ethic and videos inspired him to tackle a lot of the projects on his personal farm. It's amazing the impact you've had on people. Just thought I'd share. Gonna finish roasting this chicken and watch the rest of this week's episode. Cheers.

Hi Sir, so great to see you again 🛖

You are the Master Cabin Builder. Every detail thought out and built to a standard that most of us out here watching can only dream of or watch some one like you build it. Cabin looks beautiful as did your last one. This one is a pure masterpiece. I loved your last one with the outdoor kitchen and oven as well. Thank you once again for sharing your world.

Cali is the splitting image of a golden retriever I had when I was younger with all the same characteristics. He was my best friend

I'm glad you found this way of life. Who cares if it's not practical in general or by anyone else's standards? It's your life, and you're doing a good thing.

Thank you Shawn, but mostly Cali for giving me an opportunity to smile through some on my darkest days.

Fast becoming a home. :)

I have to tell you Shawn, so far, I’m absolutely loving the larger windows in this cabin. And your breezeway was such a smart, practical and attractive addition!

you are the single youtuber that i watch doing stuff like this that took his hat off when eating, you have my respect for this

what a progress, can't wait to see the winter life again! A wonderful weekend everyone!

I've always dreamed of having a log cabin with a big front porch to sit out on in the evenings and enjoy a cup of coffee and enjoy nature !

Hello Shawn, Everything you do is absolutely perfectly done - it boggles my mind! So much so, that I must believe , this, is how Stonehenge and the Pyramids were built! My hat goes off to you, your loving family, and Cali!! Bless you all, for these gifts you share with us. My only imagined wish? Is to share a Harvest Dinner in October, with your wife and children, from the fruits of your hard-won garden!

God saves the best for last for a reason - to show others how it's done. It's not the money that makes you the best - it's taking the time & effort in showing yourself just what you can do. It's what makes you both a student & teacher. What an AWESOME ACCOMPLISHMENT Shawn & well worth the effort. ♥ 🇨🇦

@17:45 Look at all that Bracken Fern! Warms my heart. Namesake plant to our family. Then, the Smooth Green Snake, one of my favorite serpents of North America. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back last year and on into this spring, I started to wonder if wrangling those logs would ever end! But then, finally, at last the walls were all done and man! Things move fast after that in construction, eh? Next thing you know, you're standing there on that porch, in the door, looking out on your land. Must be quite a feelin' Shawn. Well done my friend. Well done.

The engineering of the porch posts was most impressive. I really enjoyed watching that.

Totally AWESOME Shawn your work on that front porch wow!!! I love the windows and everything you have done on your log cabin build. It's ALL so gorgeous for sure and a total labor of love. I also love Cali too she's looking fantastic. God bless you ALL.

It's beautiful, Mr. James! It won't be long before the cabin is all dried in and the interior work begins. I'm looking forward to that. Your labor of love is becoming a reality. Best wishes to you and your family!

Согласен полностью,поддерживаю! Золотые слова!

Seeing you start a fire in the stove makes me excited to see what you’ll do in the winter. Can’t wait. Great video.

One focused man w. a vision who sees only one direction, forward.

The cabin will be just fabulous. Thank you for sharing this with us, AGAIN! The last place was so beautiful but I think that this one will be better. Stay safe and scritches to Cali!

Wow those huge logs you put on the porch make an already rustic cabin look even better. I like the cast iron cooking too. The log Mahal is a masterpiece.

So this is basically Eastern Slavic livestyle: live in a cabin, there is a garden next to it where you grow potatoes and other vegies and then you store it in the basement. You have an outhouse and a bath house. Nice!

It’s a good thing you have Utube. It would be a shame to accomplish so much without a large number of people watching and appreciating. Good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Can't wait to see the first dusting of snow on the cabin, not that I'm hoping for an early winter, just for the look.

Wow!!! Can't believe how fast you're moving along on this! 😃

I'm simply floored by how much you can get done on your cabin in so little time. A month ago I would have sworn that you'd never get it done by winter. This video, a lot of work and a bit of cooking is what you're best at.

Few humans have the Skill, Determination, Energy, and Dreams to complete a project of this magnitude alone!

U just built my dream home!!!! Thank u so much for sharing that beautiful job!!!

I have so enjoyed watching you build your dream home log cabin, I work a lot of long hours in a steel mill outside of Chicago your youtube channel makes me feel like I'm their watching you at work . Your living the dream what a blessing this is to you and family and fans. Thank you for letting us into your world it's a great escape for me just to watch your day to day progress !

LOL. I think we can tell your wife is moving into this cabin with you. This is like the Taj Mahal compared to the last one. I am truly awed by your grit and skills.

So nice feeling to see a good potatoes harvest. Tons of tart.bread. meal . Incl soup. Titbit recipes waiting for your family

You my friend are making me buy land and building my own cabin. I've been drawing up designs and plans for over 4 months now. Your build is incredible and inspiring.

Wow I'm installing a wood burning stove and that's almost exactly how I'm doing it! I am suddenly giving myself a pat on the back for having a little bit more confidence that I'm doing it right.

Nice to see the cabin being buttoned up. You are amazing. God bless.

Your Family is SO fortunate to have you and your great talents!

Makes my heart smile to realize how far you have come since leaving your first cabin and all you had done there. So looking forward to seeing you sitting warm and cozy in this new cabin sipping on a cup of coffee this winter with your books and Calli stretched out at the stove. From this point on it's just frosting on the cake for all us viewers🤗

Shawn - Ever since I watched your first cabin videos, I knew you were truly this generation's Dick Proenneke. His books and videos are part of off grid and cabin building lore now. But you have taken it up a notch. Your cabin is stunning and your methods are inspiring. Your camera and editing work are untouchable and I feel like I am right there with you, joking, and handing you up the next board. Thank you for inspiring me and for warming my family's living room each week. I will be at your book signing when you write your first book and go on tour! Warm wishes and thoughts from the PNW. - Josh.

Now there's one eccentric person. Puts up pillars and instead of sitting and relaxing he picks up a quiver full of arrows and a bow and just starts flinging, (at Sasquatch I guess!), wow, different strokes!!

I'm beyond impressed with your woodworking skills. What a magnificent home you have built. And those spuds!!!!!

Watching you eat a meal in the house and placing posts on the porch made me realize how close to completion you are! What a wonderful journey it has been!

It seems like red is becoming your signature color. From the red canoe to the little red kettle. . I love to see the canoe peeking out in a scene. It’s very artistic.

Block and tackle was a great investment...

Great videos, the dog Cali has always a good time - when dog is ok everything is ok :)

I really didn't want to see this one end.

This cabin is a dream cabin. I have never seen such a well designed and efficient log cabin. If I could live in a cabin like this it would be a dream come true. But I bet this is true of a lot of your followers. Hope you give us a tour of it inside after it is fully finished with furniture. I’m sure it will be a show stopper.

Can't believe you create a paradise just by yourself

This week has been beautiful weather. Great potato harvest for the first year outside the greenhouse forest garden 🏡.

Watching Shawn work, fish or jst ramble with Cali is always an interesting and relaxing experience. That cabin, what an achievement! This channel is so peaceful. And I have to say, I love that dog 💕🦮

Your living the dream buddy! As a home builder by trade and a hunter my whole life I wanted to do this back in the early 90’s in Alaska. Never happened 52 now. However I do own my own piece of heaven on a secluded part of a trout river and do still feed my family all year long off of lean free range venison harvests from the season prior but I am not living in true wilderness. My soul earns for living in the middle of high mountain tops and true endless wilderness.

Shawn, what a beautiful cabin. I can't hardly wait for the finished product. Is going to be amazing. And what a nice potato harvest! All your hard work is paying off. And beautiful Cali, she is so happy, always there with her favorite friend! God bless you and keep you safe. A big hug for Cali!

My log home was made from 12" White Pine logs. All my vertical support logs inside and out were set up with the jack bolts like you have. My logs settled 4"-5" in the first 5 years. After that hardly any settling. When i would let the jack bolts down there was lots of cracking sounds from the settling. I built my log home back in 1998. To this day my log joints are mostly all tight! I heat 100% with wood. My home is 32x40 with a open style and a loft. It heats easily with a Soap Stone wood stove in temps down to zero. Then i fire up my outdoor wood boiler and run that until spring. I still burn the Soap Stone stove as i love viewing the fire! Your cabin is looking fantastic. Im anxious to see the finishing touches. Cali is looking great as well. I was wondering if youve ever taken her Pheasant or Grouse hunting? She looks so birdy when she's hunting up her dummy! I thinking she would do well on the Grouse and Pheasants!

Hey Shawn, That's a lot of work but what great building weather. The cabin is looking great. It's always a great moment when I see the stove being lit,,,,just makes me feel good to see you have the heat going. All the best to you,,,,Thanks

Your cabin is really starting to take shape nicely now, good to see you have it weatherproofed. I love how Cali follows you around with her toy, but instinctively knows when to back off when your too busy. She is one beautiful dog.

I think that is again a milestone, firing up the wood stove for the first time.... amazing. Thank you Shawn for sharing this build and great moments....

From a forest to a cozy dwelling in just a few months. Amazing, Shawn!!

NOW I feel you are returning to 'Cabin Life.' The stove is installed and working.

So many hours of watching you do woodwork and building cabins. I can´t get enough of it, Love it! I think it´s the longing for something that is more atuned to our nature? I mean we choose big city partly because we kinda are forced to live in apartments near our workplace. But a huge part I think is we like our Internet, the Wi-Fi and all the convience with not being responsible for the building we live in. Are we happy, I don´t know? But I think true happiness is, building a cabin in the woods. A dog running around and find tranquility in what we see.
