A 40 minute video uploaded 5 minutes ago and already has 2 dislikes. What do people like that do, just sit around and wait for videos to drop just so you can dislike them? You couldn't have watched it already. Now that I have that out of my system I can sit back and ENJOY 40 minutes of quality video and then like it.

Your moving right along getting the cellar done and nice work doing it. That last little bit with the boards laying on the cellar top.i wanted to take a broom and sweep them off with all the leaves and pine needles on them and you just flipped them over and eased my OCD for me LOL Watching the big bull moose at the end with that music was so relaxing. Wilderness is amazing and so serene. Your a lucky man to be living that and your dream Shawn and you worked hard to be able to do so and working hard now to continue to build that dream. Be safe our there sir and God bless you,sweet Cali and your family. 🙏

Hello Shawn James, Watching you fondly, I have been following you for a long time. I love living in the forest. Wooden houses are of particular interest to me. I'm Ercan DEMIR. I am 23 years old and live in Giresun, Turkey. You know the Black Sea. I would very much like to meet you, I would very much like to come to you if I have the opportunity. Making wooden chess, spoons, cups, bows and arrows are among my hobbies. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to walk and talk with you in the forest. Best Regards and Sincerely God bless you Have a nice day. 🇹🇷🇨🇦

@lbluebird342 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ercan, after reading your comment, I hope one day you do get to enjoy traveling, the wilderness & have success doing what you love. Do u sell the items u carve? I'm interested in buying a piece if u do. I just turned 70 on Mon. I'm a quilter & design them also, a crocheter (afghans mostly), writer (unpublished children's books by not submitting my work) & retired Exec Admin & transcriptionist (medical, Gen & legal). How far are you from the Black Sea? I'd loved to have a shell, a small piece of wood or pebble from it. Lmk if u sell your carvings. Could I drink hot tea in your carved cup? I'd love to see your bow & arrow too. My great nephew is an archer. He's very good. He killed a rainbow trout that broke my grandson's line when we were fishing. My grandson was 10 then; he's 22 now & in Texas. I'm in Pennsylvania. My nephew was about 50-100 yards away from the trout calmly lying in the stream. It was amazing!! Plus it was my grandson's 1st time fishing. I cooked it up for him & he loved it! I had brought him from South Carolina (where he lived at the time & I lived across the line in N. Carolina about 20 min frm him) to PA for a family reunion. We decided to go fishing at the last minute before going back. I'm serious about buying a piece. I don't play chess, but love strategic games. Cryptograms are a big fav! I'm not rich but like decor items that are natural & different. My lamps are pine cones (not real, but very nice). I have real ones lying in the window shelf. My very best to you. Look forward to hearing back. Blessings, Lana :)

Our host has defined the boundaries of the possible and inspired a whole host of imitators here over a brief period of years. When one man tries to build civilization from the ground up, it is always entertaining to watch. We should be mindful though that historically such a dynamic existed only during the very earliest phase of pioneering, and the rustic dwellings first established were never built to the level of precision demonstrated here and on other "one man, one cabin" channels.

Dallas series (78-91) captivated me and many others. I HAD to be in front of a screen when it came on to see “what’s next.” I realized I had become addicted to a scheduled TV series. My response was to shut off all programmed TV in late 1991. Broke my addiction I did. I took control of ALL my time for years - Until….. well until My Self Reliance. Shawn, you rascal you. I’ve fallen off the wagon because of your fabulous content. It is addictive to the max and nothing is going to get in the way of my Friday’s and “what’s next” with Shawn. Thankfully, your content is all real, no fiction. Every episode is a positive motivating education for me.

Shawn my friend, Please, please have stones laid around the perimeter of your cabin and make a French drain so your cellar does not flood during the spring thaw. I've learned this valuable and surprisingly innovative technique a long time ago. I lost most of my supply preps when my root cellar got flooded.

@PabloP169 2 жыл бұрын

I think that if you look back through the earlier videoes that Shawn has considered this and the drain goes through a pipe out past where he is currently doing his cooking while on site. Also the build in on very porous sand so that alone should be a great assistance in this area.

During the winter months the food would be able keep from spoiling . The way grandpa did his cellar was to dig out the side of hill and carve shelves in the walls to set for different types of vegetables and meats and fruits as each would be safe to be eaten over the coming weeks .

Your wife and Cali, that’s way more than a lot of people get. Cali knows a winning thing and she sure has that in you. You’re a very special man whose learned some life lessons and grown from them.

I'm in central PA; it was foggy & cloudy all day & evening so I missed it completely. That's the one thing I dream of seeing before I'm gone. Turned 70 this past Mon, but didn't go anywhere.

I'm always impressed with the fact that most of the time you achieve your goal with simple hand tools, old school. So many cabin builders, shall we say, use cordless everything's, generators, power tools, all kinds of things, but you use hand tools and such. Not knocking most of them out there, but you build some really nice cabins and stuff simply. Great job and I enjoy watching you
