Self Reliance Lessons from my Dad | First Overnight at the Cabin
Welcome to my cabin.
In this video, I make some progress at the off-grid cabin including framing the bathroom walls and building the kitchen island. I then take you through the rest of my day at the cabin, as I cook some dinner and prepare to stay overnight.

I thought the reason we haven't been seeing Shawn as much was because he was in the trucker convoy!!
Ok, I forgive your Dad for no videos in the last week! You go Emily, its the first step up on the property ladder, and you are blessed to have awesome parents to guide your every step of the way. It's the way to go girl. All the very best UK.
You could not possibly be learning these skills from a better teacher! It's great to see the progress! You have the best family in the world.
I love it when a family works together. You picked a great helper but I'm glad he didn't try to drag a tree in on his back and make a wall out of it. The cabin is looking great.
The cabin already looks cozy, can't wait until the inside is fully finished. Emily your going on strong with this project, enjoy it and cherish every moment of it. you have a good supporter, your dad. He must be very happy with you. Keep up the good work.
Your doing a great job. Your Dad must be very proud of you. Good to see him too.
I see the "apple didn't fall far from the tree", your eating habits are like your Dads, lol. Thanks for sharing your overnight with us!
Cali seems at home here at your cabin too. Good to see that good pup. And your dad too. I really like your cabin. It's going to be such a nice place when you get done.
Thanks Shawn for putting this link on your channel. Emily is blessed to have you as her father. Emily I am so looking forward to following you and you have impressed me with the abilities you have already mastered at such a young age. Giving us a glimpse into your life outside of the cabin has been a plus. Your editing skills have also improved since the first video you released. Your are a role model for all in your generation.

Thank you so much!!
That dinner looks delish. You go, skilled craftsperson, Emily! My husband taught me to use various tools, starting in my late 20's, during our own earliest home builds/repairs. Soon after, I discovered that my fave woodshop hobbies are constructing children's furniture and dollhouse miniatures. Right after completing her 2 college degrees at 22yo, our daughter learned power tool skills to do major renovations with her new husband in their first home. I'm happy for you, and hope you enjoy all those comforts and the equity-building benefits provided by your handiworks.👩🔧🎓🏆
My daughter watched me rebuild my home in Long Island and a 54' Jag roadster, during the 70"s and 80's. She picked up skills by watching and helping me along the way. Now she does her own repairs and small building projects. It's great to see how independent they've become. So I'm sort of reliving those years with you and your daughter. Thanks much for the memories. 🐺
It’s always beautiful to see a father spend time with her daughter!! In Spanish we say: de tal palo, tal astilla… Most be something like, the branch it’s always like the tree.
I watch your fathers channels and I think it is simply great you are following in your fathers footsteps in becoming self reliant as that is the way the world is going now and it is important people learn these skills now, well done Emily will continue to watch your progress
Great content Emily! That we Cabin is really taking shape and developing into a great we nest! Good luck with the rest of your bathroom install and it was nice to see Cali put in an appearance too! ✌
The outside color of your cabin is stunning! That black is a brilliant choice! I bet you just started a trend! Also it's great to see your dad. Neat that you have a built in expert cabin builder handy! 😊
Like Father, like Daughter. So proud of your cabin build.
Looks lovely and the perfect peaceful get away. Thank you for sharing
I have been following your father since the beginning. Congratulations on what looks like a generational new start for you.
Like Father, Like Daughter, Shawn drops everything lending Emily a helping hand. That my friends are what love is all about.
You are blessed to have a Dad willing and able to teach you these things. And kudos to you to accept what he has to teach you about life, problem solving and creating beautiful spaces.
My son is almost finished with his accounting degree. He just made a fire in the pit, thanks to your dad getting him outdoors. Great job.
This place must be amazing for studying! Excited to see the future progress of your cabin :)
I feeds my soul to watch your dad building IKEA furniture, the world is now spinning in greased grooves.
Thank goodness for mums and dads 👍🏴
“Not appetizing”??? That supper looked fantastic! And I look forward to the future progress of the cabin!
Good Job girl. You are a great role model. Remember, it's winter, spend it outdoors.
You have your Dad's knack for filming, well done on the video! Be blessed you and yours!
I thought your dinner looked fantastic and I'm all about one pan meals. Glad you are cooking at the cabin. You have a quite, peaceful place to study. Wishing you lots of success in everything you do. That sky was beautiful and I'm glad you took some time to enjoy it and share it with us.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzread.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Good job! This brings back memories of working with my dad who was a plumber. I am nearly 60 now and still use and appreciate the skills he taught me.
You really are your father's daughter!! So good to see you working together, but even better is watching you tackle tasks that would scare most young girls. I have no doubt you could survive anything your Dad could. Your parents must be extremely proud of you!!
Place is really starting to take shape and it's looking great. The tranquil solitude is very calming for ones soul. Thanks for bringing us along Emily. Can't wait to see the continued progress.
Your cabin is coming along nicely! What a great place to get out of the rat race, to clear your head and fill your heart! Keep up the great work!
Emily, you are without doubt a positive role model for young people and your own person. The greatest compliment that I know to give you is that you are your father’s daughter! Well done. From Santa Chuck
This is going to be a great channel to watch. Great info for someone starting in off grid living. Great design and sense of style. Great to see a woman’s perspective! She put a wall together, installed a pocket door ( which I can’t do!) and made a delicious dinner. Great place for her to get away to study too! Keep up the good work Lady! Can’t wait too see what’s next!
Emily, don't knock yourself. The food looks great, good job on the cabin. We really enjoy your work ethic, your Mom and Dad must be very proud of you. My Mom, and I enjoy your Dad and your videos. If everyone was like your family this world would be a better place. Thank you for sharing with us, I wish I could give Cali a hug.

@@emilyaisling I vote for the color/colour of your door like your Yeti mug. Red is over done, a light blue would really pop. Hilarious the post below is your Dad saying he is proud of you. I can't wait until you both have your cabins done.
You made a lot of progress today. I love that you used a pocket door and added an island, great use of space. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for next week.
New sub who's been a subscriber of your dad's before M.S.R. reached 1000 followers. Married 30 years with two daughters of My own ... I know your dad is so proud of you. Keep up the great work!
It was so nice to see you and your dad working together to put the walls up for the bathroom and I really like the pocket door (that is what I need for my powder room downstairs. Can't wait to see the next project you are going to be doing. Keep up the great job you are doing on your cabin. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi Emely, i am Jane 73 from Holland. Live in my gipsy wagon tiny house. I have heaps respect fit your father and in love with the woof. What a gift to work with your dad and learn so m uhch of his skills. Love your cabin....will follow.. Stay safe and strong Love jane
Your cabin looks awesome. I love how bright it is in there with the white walls. I decided after watching all your videos my summer kitchen we are building this year is going all white. Even though we are on grid our power goes off all the time and as you know winters in Canada can be long and dark. Love what you are doing at the cabin. Cheers

I made the mistake of painting my room too dark before. The white really makes it brighter and lifts your mood - especially in the long, dark winters. Thank you for the support. I hope your kitchen turns out well!

WOW!! That looks great!! I love a stove like that. It just FEELS so much better than standard heating systems. My apartment has electric heat and it has NO personality. Good for you Emily!! More power to you..
Great to see what Mr. James has been up too! Shawn and the James Family have a great weekend!
That was a good idea putting a pocket door on your bathroom. Well done. What a lovely place to be able to go to and study in peace and quiet. Have a lovely day.
We've been following your dad for several years. Excited to see your adventures!
After watching your father these past few years and admiring his knowledge and expertise, it's obvious you couldn't have a better mentor to help you on your journey of self reliance. Good luck and best wishes. Tell your dad I say great job raising you and hello from me.
Looks incredibly peaceful! Interested to see what you come up with for the cabin. Thanks for the new content!
Building, cooking, living off grid…. You are definitely your father’s daughter! It’s a wonderfully cozy cabin, may it bring you many years of comfort and joy.
Just keeps looking more comfortable with each addition you add to your cabin. Looks like a very quiet and peaceful place to study. Take care and wish you all the best with your studies.
Your dad is the best! It's so heartwarming you guys working together.
great to see the progress Emily, to see your dad helping shows how much he believes in you. Keep up the awesome fitting out fitting out of YOUR cabin. Proud of you Emily, keep up the great progress.
Love watching your dad and how much you respect him for his knowledge and working with him must be such a joy a great way to create memories that will stay with you forever. 🌻💕
What a good feeling you must have had after a day like that. Lot of progress, working together with your parents, good result and a good tasting finish meal.
Family that builds together/ Grows together!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Great job! Self Reliance!👍🏻
Looks so great Emily👍 that sunrise was definitely worth stopping for. I love to soak in those moments whenever possible. Helps me stay grounded, focused and realize what's important to me. Moments and memories are all little pieces of our story. I appreciate you sharing yours with us and I can definitely see how proud of you your parents are. It's awesome that your able to share these times with them. Stay warm and stay safe my friend. 🙂
You and your family inspire me sooooo much. I have been watching your Dad for years and am enjoying seeing your content too. Your cabin is becoming so cozy! I moved to rural Maine in order to live a more self reliant lifestyle too and I draw so much from your energy and determination. Keep up the great work and thank you for the enjoyable content.
Best resourceful dad ever.
Your cabin is turning out to be a cabin with a wonderful warm and cozy ambience, It's going to be a wonderful place to go to empty the mind and meditate about faith, important plans and decisions, and of course relax, and eat good food.
With every little personal touch you add to your cabin, it's looking more and more like home. Nice job!
I love your cabin beautiful
GOOD LUCK EMILY IT'S VERY NICE TO SEE YOU SHAWN👍😂
Thank you for sharing, Blessings to you!😎
Building more than an off-grid cabin, priceless memories that will be yours forever. Great job.👍👍👍
Your cabin is looking great Emily. Its great your parents and Calli were there to help you. Stay safe.
A great video can't wait to see your dad back on his cabinNC👏
Another great video Emily! Your cabin is looking really cozy!
Really appreciate seeing a generational approach to self sufficiency. We are just beginning our journey, but plan a similar approach to include any of our adult children who are interested.
I have a daughter who is working full time, online college courses, and navigating running a household. You are doing an awesome job. Life is about learning but also about having serenity in doing it. You seem to be juggling a lot of that and it looks good on you.

I’m really enjoying your channel Emily! I also love that you’re doing one of my favorite things I love about your dads channel. The cooking 😉. I love it when people show me their cooking skills and what they like to eat. I can’t wait to see everything that’s coming on this channel in the future and the knowledge and skills you are going to learn from dad. Keep em coming, Big Love Beautiful Girl ♥️
Hello, I'm from Brazil, I've been following your father on youtube for a long time, he's a great builder of huts and I really admire his work, the dog is with him all the time ... and also his hut is beautiful and is being made with the best builder that accompanies you and I know it will be perfect. (SUCCESS)
I was pleasantly surprised to see you spreading your wings into the cabin life. Like father like daughter. You must have caught the wilderness spell from dear old Papa. Awesome to see your progress and putting your own spin on things. Very best of Luck to you Emily. You have me as a subscriber. Keep up the great work !
Enjoying your videos, The cabin will be lovely for you...so far, it seems you inherited your Dad's love of nature!
It's getting more (your) home every week. Great setup you have there and nice to follow along. Have a great weekend ahead!
And so another generation starts their unique journey. Best of luck Emily. 👍🏽 Your dad is rightly super proud.
Mr James what a sweet dad you are. Helping and showing ur daughter how to do it.
Cabin looks great, love the celebrity appearance of your dad.
A job well done, a lot achieved. You are a lucky girl to have really supportive parents. Great teachers too. I love how well it’s coming together for you.
It's good to have supporting and helping parents, love to see you putting furniture together it's awesome to be independent doing the right things for your future. You are following the right track for that. Good content in your video young Lady. Take care thanks 😊
Your place is shaping up well. It’s awesome that you are learning lots of useful skills that will serve you all of your life. Good to see your parents not just doing everything for you and letting you figure things out. Trying to do the same with my kids. Looks great. Enjoy!
Very cosy abode. You have done well! And that dinner looked delish.
Whow, Emily, you two did a lot of work there! Nice to see Shawn really helping you by letting you do a lot of work where he can give you advise and you can grow yourself. Very nice quality time there and I’m sure he’s proud as can be for you developing your own cabin lifestyle. Nice video once again. Till next time!
Having your own cabin at such a young age is priceless. It's beautiful and you are making such wise choices. Well done.
Father and daughter bonding absolutely love it. "I love your boots"
You are sooo lucky, Emily having such a great teacher as your dad. I virtually never had a single conversation with mine-ever!
Very nice, Emily. You are doing a great job! I know your folks are super proud.
So nice your helping your dad with the cabin,your pretty efficient!! It’s really nice
