Cali, our Golden Retriever, spends time with me at the cabin as I finish the roof, chink the log cabin, install a woodstove and start a flagstone floor under the fireplace and at the entranceway.
Music by David Mitchell of My Outdoor Adventures (www.myoutdooradventures.ca/)
The weather is crazy - from balmy sunny days to rain and snow.The creek starts to freeze, the leaves are almost all off the trees and the bears are very active, getting closer to the cabin in their search for food before denning for the winter. Moose and deer are regular visitors, passing in the night as close as 10 feet from the log cabin.

Who ever first said that the dog is man's best friend, said so much more than he could have possibly realized. They are willing do anything, even die to please us. God knew that He couldn't give us all a personal angel, so He created dogs. The absolute, unconditional love! ♥

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos, I now live in downtown, like DOWNTOWN Tokyo Japan, I have a small workshop here that I do a lot of work for clients out of. I'm Canadian too eh, I grew up in the interior of British Columbia and was lucky to spend a lot of time in the bush hunting and fishing, I had family who had/have wonderful cabins in the woods that I spent many a weekend and summer vacation at, great memories. I save your videos for the quiet time when I'm working on something that I'm not running my tablesaw or such, so I can watch/listen while I work. Your videos are a nice calm oasis for me in a very busy hectic week, so I wanted to make sure I said "Thank you sir" for these videos. Cheers! Stu

I’m re-watching from the beginning again. I get so much from your videos Shawn. Reminds me of my childhood on our family farm, here in Australia. My father restored an old farm cottage to liveable standard so he and my mother and I, could live in it till she passed away from cancer. I loved the ruggedness that country life gave us. 90min drive from a town, 4 mile from any neighbours and the peace that only nature could provide. That was 36 yrs ago, now that I have a family of my own, I’ve moved us further out bush. Spending time in nature and getting your hands dirty has a whole new meaning to living a fulfilling life for us. Thanks for all your efforts of filming your wood working projects and sharing your life with us. Watching you is very nostalgic.

I've attempted to do that myself but never have been as successful as he was. I must say I'm very impressed with how much work you get done and how focused you appear to be. I built my own home from the ground up but it took three years to complete and I had a 5 foot tall girlfriend helping me every step of the way. Congratulations to you Shawn on your accomplishment.

Great love story. Thank God for our wives being bold or at least more so than us. Where would we be? Definitely worse off. I had missed this video somehow, thank you again for sending it.

Thank you for another great video, I look forward to them every week! Your channel has rekindled my love of the outdoors that had gradually faded away since I moved to the city for university a couple years ago. This series and your self reflections have inspired me to spend more time outdoors and point my life in a more "self reliant" direction (and even start building a cabin of my own!). Keep up the great work!

God bless you and your beautiful family. I pray for you as you are a man of good heart. Shawn, I believe that a good heart might not make you rich, but certainly it will make you happy and content with whatever you have. I love you man as a brother.
