Yap, me too!! Mery Christmas for all your family Shawn. Be happy!!

Of course I enjoyed it! I'm sitting here, eating Ibuprofen and Muscle relaxants and wishing I were 25 not 65+. I've watched every minute of your builds, this cabin and and the previous one. Your efforts help me get up, go start, just do it! Slower and stupider, but still loving the breathless moment when I can say, OK, that's done. Thank you Shawn, for helping us be a little more than we would have on our own.

You’re living the life we all want, Shawn.

Speak for yourself! I wouldn't last a week living out there alone!! That's a hard, beautiful life Shawn is living but certainly not for everyone.

This guy is my absolute hero! I hope youre family realizes what a rare person it is that would go to such great lengths to lookout not only for their family's well being, but comfort as well. Enjoy the fruit of your labour. Super proud of you buddy💐

I've been watching since the first cabin, 2019. You are definitely "Self Reliant" and the most dedicated person i know besides my Dad. Thanks for letting me continue to view your Journey Shawn! 🙌 Calli too🐕

Good Friday Shawn & Cali🐕! Your log cabin is beautiful Shawn. 👍🌅🌄🏞️🏡

Dear Sean, I'm sorry, I use self-translation. I admire you and what you are doing, what difficulties you have overcome! With great pleasure, sometimes with excitement, I watched all your videos, this is great content! Everything from building, arranging everyday life, getting food to filming nature and music is stunning!!! Sometimes it seems to me that you clearly have more than 24 hours in a day, how much you manage to do in total😄.Thank you for sharing this with us, your life, the opportunity to plunge into a dream🫶. Good health, long life and prosperity to you and your family! May all your plans come true! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to your new videos). Olga Russia, Siberia, Baikal. 1:00

I still marvel at your ingenuity, foresight, vision and engineering skills, esp. how you planned the root cellar at the onset of this mammoth project! Thanks for the detailed tour and flashbacks. Boggles my mind how one man aka YOU built this 2nd homestead to last several generations and your wife’s earnest support behind the scenes. Congrats Shawn, can’t say it enough. Merry Christmas to you and all. 🎄🙏🏻🥰❤️🍁

I am a retired carpenter of 40 plus years. I now wish I could turn back the hands of time to when I was young enough to do what you have done in this build. I have the skills to do a build similar to what you have done with your cabin but I’m too old now to do it. I am so sad that I didn’t get the urge to build my own cabin when I was younger. You are so talented and have built a truly beautiful home. Your Christmas video was so awesome I sat down with my wife to watch it again. We wish you and your beautiful family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hopefully you will continue to make new content for us all to watch and learn from. Even as a seasoned carpenter you have taught me soooo much about building but you have taught me so much about life and the pursuit of happiness as well. May God watch after you and your family for all the years to come. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Ron C.

Definitely one of my favorite moments in the week.... News from Canada ;-) Regards from The Netherlands

Replays and reruns are great!! Remembering "when" feels good. AND it is all so amazing when we see it like this. Fantastic Shawn. Totally unbelievable task and accomplishment. I super admire you for undertaking this. Moreso for accomplishing so much is such a time frame. Thanks again for letting all us dreamers dream along wishing we could be there too. I need some liniment from tonights installment now!!

I love the detail that you share. Showing what changes you need to make as you progress with your new cabin and gardening situation can be beneficial to those trying to pursue a similar life style. I was sorta headed down that road over 20 years ago, but then life happened and threw a wrench into my plans that I could not recover from. Now I'm too old to even think about any of it, but I enjoy the heck out of your channel, as well as other channels that are like-minded. I wish you and your family all the best🦮🐺🦌🐿🦫🐻🦃🦦👍🏻✌🏻

I didn`t realize how much thought went into that cellar, you will have all the storage you will ever need for annual food supplies. It looks cozy down there, putting in a bathroom, the girls are gonna love that, no more cold seat, love the builds, all the best to you and your family during the Holidays, from Michigan.

Hello and good day! I have been subscribed to your channels for years. Sincerely, thank you very much for your great videos. With so much news of wars and human pain that we receive daily, your magnificent and selfless work is like an oasis to take refuge and enjoy the immense peace that you transmit, without ignoring the pain of all those who suffer. What you have been able to build with your own hands is, without a doubt, worthy of admiration. What you say about the melting of the snow in the middle of Christmas is really worrying... an unequivocal sign that the climate is changing... I hope you manage to finish everything you propose for Christmas and especially, that you have a great time together, as a family. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A CORDIAL AND SINCERE GREETINGS FROM SPAIN.

Shawn ~ you are an amazing. exceptional man... I wonder if you know that. What you have created goes far above and beyond what most do! No doubt about that. You have a mind that thinks outside of the box and a level of integrity that goes into everything you do. I have such admiration for what you have created ~ the cabin, the root cellar, the gardening area ~ all of it! EXCEPTIONAL MAN! Your wife and children are very Blessed to have you !!!

This makes my tendons and back and feet hurt just watching him.

Bonjour un travail de titan et des super vidéos vue de France 🇨🇵

Amazing home, beautiful customized woodwork and very well planned out. The cellar is fantastic. Thank you for the tour. Merry Christmas from West Virginia to you Shawn and of course your family too.

Happy birthday to Calli! Great video Shawn. I enjoyed the walk thru and look forward to seeing more.

Ciao Shawn, in old Italian farms, potatoes are stored in dark and ventilated rooms, placing them on wooden shelves, inside a layer of dry straw, the straw allows them to breathe and keeps them fresh and dry

Most Excellent Idea!

You have done an amazing job Shawn!

I moved into a house two years ago and there is an unfinished area in the basement that was left as raw dirt since the house was built in the '90s. They added a vapor barrier before moving out, either to impress me or because of some building code they had previously ignored. Of course, mold started building up under the barrier and so I had to remove it all and run a fan for a few weeks to stabilize things again. It's back to normal now, but sometimes a vapor barrier isn't what's needed.

So nostalgic , reminding us of the dear ‘builder generation’, that left us, so many know how skills♥️

Merry Christmas from Aberdeen, South Dakota USA! 😊

Thanks very much for the tour. I remember you digging it out all those months ago. It's been great watching it develop over the months. It's a real credit to you. You had the vision and you've brought it to life. Bravo!

Shawn, you are a beast! I have watched every one of your videos, and you are an inspiration to not only myself, but most probably thousands of others as well! Thank you for your vigor and your passion, and most importantly, thank you for recording and sharing your life with your viewers!!

Thank you , Shawn . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

Shawn, thank you ever so much for all this most valuable information., and making US aware the different temperatures in storing harvested fresh vegetables and everything else. Most appreciated and grateful. A MOST Blessed Christmas and prosperous 2024. Love You ALL, give Cali a big hug from me.❤❤❤

This is truly amazing I thank you 🙏 for sharing your journey you inspire me to become better everyday keep on keeping on 😊❤I love watching you and Cali together on your adventures

Shawn you’ve done such a great organized job on your property and very well detailed down to the stud. Thanks for the tour.

Shawn,I knew that you were a conservationalist and liked to grow and preserve your own food,but why all the freeze-dried foodstuffs? Isn't that what alarmists do when they think there will be a major catastrophe?! I certainly agree with you wanting to be out in the wilderness comuning with nature and all that the outdoors has to offer,but don't take it so far that you would want to survive on your own without the rest of us! While there is hope there is a future!

So enjoy your videos. Gives us hope

Van/CustomRV builders have done a triple filtered, recirculating shower. This allows a fairly endless shower on only 5-10 gallons by recirculating and filtering the gray water and immediately reheating and dispensing it. If you can do some quick searches, there are diagrams out there for a simple build. Been watching you for many years...great to see this new cabin really getting in the groove.

It was amazing when I saw the first time. Good to watch it again. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ❤

Inspiring. Same comment I made to Dave Whipple over at Bushradical. Water, nutrition, shelter, and elimination of debt seem to be a common thread. It took me until 68 but the satisfaction is tremendous and a complete paradigm shift. Keep pressing on educating others.

Ma ti si divan čovek,Bog te blagoslovio i zaštitio.

I was musing about how long I've been watching you build. Six years - a ton of work, Callie really was a pup. Thank you and have a safe, healthy Christmas and Holiday season with your family and that bull moose that seems to like you.

I love watching now as I did with the first cabin. Merry Christmas to you and your family and Cali❤️🐾

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and family

Although I saw this on previous videos i still cant believe you dug that whole foundation by hand you are amazing as always 👍👍👍👍👍

Great job on the place. The homestead is really coming together. Enjoy the holidays with your family. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Amazing! You must be very happy with the new place...I'm sure it was really upsetting having to do it all again but I'm sure you like this place even more. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

I am rewatching all your videos to make sure that I liked them. When I watch your videos it helps me relax.

Hi,mate I hope you and your wonderful family have a great Christmas and may peace and plenty be with you for years to come.

Really enjoying all your hard work and ingenuity. Just started watching your channel and can’t wait to go back through to watch some of your past videos.

Excellent job as usual. Good talk. Anyone who does not learn something each vid isnt paying attention. Thank you Shawn. You are a very talented man. Love to you and each one of your family and Cali girl. I am so grateful for you. Hava merry christmas. ✌️❤️🤗 B with you always in all the ways!

Thanks Shawn. I picked up a couple great tips that I never thought of. Also "Delete Me". Awesome and thank you for that. This is why I have been so reluctant to post on social media for privacy concerns. Excellent video. Thank you.

The amount of lumber that you have used is amazing. That you were able to use your own trees ,you are so lucky

Such good fun! This is so beautiful to watch, loving it all.. I never thought I could love someone I never knew, ha Send loving kindness vibes in all that you do 💕

YOU HAVE A VERY EFFICIENT AND NICE SETUP FOR YOUR CELLAR. LOVE THE NEW HOME IT'S BEAUTIFUL .😊❤❤❤

Thanks for the look around. I finally have a good sense of the layout. Well done.

Thanks, Shawn, great video. I love how your cellar is well lit - though you may have had some extra light for filming. Actually I suppose it is better to be well lit if you have to regularly check your stores. Will continue to follow your future work on your home.

very well thought out.

Its really nice. I love watching Shawn work. Makes me tired out but interesting. Nice way to live a life.

Happy Holidays, stay well!

Thank you for doing the videos Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I haven’t watch one of these in awhile. That guitar riff starts, and it’s an instant endorphin hit. Really enjoy your vids, and I’m using a lot of your ideas. Thank you

Yes he's living the life we all want but to actually live that life is very very hard work and takes a lot of patience and all sounds good when you're watching a video from your living room

You were right. Vapour barrier only one side otherwise studs will rotten from moisture buildup. The cavity of the wall has to breathe (preferably from the outside so the vapour barrier is on the inside will also protect you from breathing in mineral fibre (Roxul) insulation

Looks great it's all coming together now.

The log cabin is awesome. You did a great job..God bless . Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2024..❤🇺🇸

Wow so much done in 4 years. You are amazing. Enjoy the snowstorms that come your way

You are living the dream. Good luck 👍🙏😇 and God be with you.

Well thought-out and nicely finished. Really like what you've done here.

Always interesting to see progress, repeat or not, for this was such a major undertaking it baffles the mind of a city dwelling fellowl like me. Thanks as always for sharing and I'm always looking forward to the next episode..

conngrats man, you are a really survivalist man, i beliave in thath

Merry Christmas Brother , to and your family . Happy New Year also. Retired renovation carpenter here. Been watching your vids since the beginning you last build . Love all your videos , the building, fishing, fishing with friends and family. All of them. Anyway, the vapour barriers. You are right. I have seen disastrous results done to homes that had double barriers. Rotting structure and enough fungus to supply the country with penicillin for 20 years.

Amazing, thank you for that tour.

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄to you and your family! You've built such an amazing cabin. Love the root cellar. Definitely a dream of mine someday.

You are inspiration to countless many. ❤

Thx Mr James , yeah , I like your videos of the built , been following your channel for a little over 4 years now n still enjoying every n each one of them , thx again . Richard Tessier

You don't have to do everything that Shawn does. Pick a tiny project and do what you can. Trying to do good things is important to the soul. To paraphrase the Bible, they serve the Lord when they can only sit and pray. The nuns who bake bread, contemplate the words of God, and pray are serving their community. I txt people who need a lift and send pictures or sayings to cheer them up. A small thing but a smile might help them get through one more day.

​@downtonviewer There is the loft upstairs for company, and should they be blessed with more visitors, there is the workshop out in the woods. That has a woodburning stove, an insulated loft area where Shawn used to sleep before he had a roof on and windows on the new cabin. In a pinch, someone could even sleep on the workbench. That's where their sugar bush is and where they cook down their maple sap for syrup. You can find all these things in his Playlist. Have fun researching! Oh! And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Pretty damned amazing brother! And electricity too! Congrats and Merry Christmas!

on your freeze dried containers put a plastic paper sleeve .. and drop in a sheet of what is inside the bin ... if it has multiple items of the same thing then have a tick box for each one you take out ... tick a box as you pull and poof running total on the shelf ... also allows you to see at a glance when you need to start making more

Lowes and Home Depot carry transfer pumps for under $100. You can adjust the pressure to like 30 psi in the pipe and run the excess pressure back to the rain water supply tank. You can put a light switch on the pump when you want to use the sink and it will only run when you want it to. You can elevate the supply tank and get the same result.

Merci Monsieur Le Professeur. A very good and nice lesson. Bon courage and stay safe.
