New Wilderness Off Grid Cabin, Milling Lumber, Building an Outhouse and a Ladder
Рет қаралды 1,762,320
3 жыл бұрынSpring has arrived at my wilderness homestead! I start building an outhouse with lumber milled from trees on my property, I make a wooden ladder out of saplings and I explore the creek as the last of the ice melts off the beaver ponds.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with all of us! It appears that 74 people put on their Envious & Petty Boots to give "thumbs down". One would think that instead of being closed minded & emotionally small would be able to find inspiration, calm & beauty. One cannot speak to those who will not listen & learn. Instead, they prefer being the small minded people they are, never achieving anything in life that Truly matters. Much respect to you Shawn!!

I think most guys want to do what you are doing, I think it's just in our nature, but never did for one reason or another. When I was much younger, I watched a 1969 movie called "My Side Of The Mountain". It was about a boy around 15, year old who went up in the Mountain to live on his own for a while. I never forgot that movie. I was 14 at the time and made a list of all the stuff I would need to do it. Now I regret that I never did anything like it. It may be why I like watching those of you who build what they need to live off the grid with nature. May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. Stay safe.

It is beautiful, but it becomes a whole lot less enjoyable in person when the black flies, deer flies, horse flies and mosquitoes hit. They each peak at different times, but some of the worst of their cycles overlap. For those of us experiencing it all vicariously via video, late spring and summer may seem the most beautiful -- but the reality when you are there in person is different. Simply put: the bugs are awful - just *awful*. That's why Shawn prefers the late Fall, Winter (and early Spring). For 6 to 7 months, the bugs finally stop. The other 5? Not my cuppa.

Hello Shawn . For some time I have been thinking that cutting peat to burn in the cabin would be a good idea for You . 2 days work could supply You a full winter of peat for heating and cooking .It burns with an even heat very slowly and is not dirty like coal .You would not need to work so hard at chopping fire wood . I saw a vid of how the Irish farmers do it . They use a tractor like Yours and put a plow on the back that cuts the peat into blocks . Then they collect the peat on a wagon snd take it to the barn and put it on drying racks . By winter it is dry enough to burn in a stove . Watching a vid on this would teach You how to bulld a plow . Watching You cut wood all the time when I know there a a better way concerns me .. However I realize that the problem is that it creates a huge hole in the ground as time passes , The Irish dont have a lot of trees to harvest thats why they turned to peat . You have options but as You get older cutting wood becomes less desirable . Ok bye for now . Mike

From day one I always knew it was just a matter of time before I saw a bandsaw mill, a UTV and a snowmobile. Theirs still one thing missing though. A compact tractor with a frontend loader & backhoe. Perhaps a few other attachments. The human body is designed to take a beating but the long term effects wear on you. Use the mechanical advantages available to you so you can continue to preform the daily lifestyle tasks in you're later years. Best wishes & God bless !!!

I am so happy to see a chain saw and a mill along with other things. My biggest regret of 50 years on and off living off grid is that l spent way too much time working on the cabin. I could have been hunting fishing and canoeing a lot more. You are making the outhouse build look easy. Most people don’t realize how labor intensive they are, and how much materials that they use. When people asked me to build them an outhouse l always said that they cant afford it. Good thing that you have that mill, i would guess that its paid for itself. As always the photography and staging are outstanding.

You know Shawn, being a building contractor most of my adult life, the first video I watched was a video of you doing the bed in the cabin. I watched and what I loved most about the video was, there was complete silence, no talking. And I felt, this was a real good way to show how your existence was in real life. You enjoy the solitude and only the sounds of the wildlife and all that goes with it. I suppose one can take the silence as how ever they want to but, that's the way I saw it. I do enjoy your input from time to time but, I already know what your going to do B-4 you do it. With that being said, I wanted to just express my feelings towards your video's and explain why I like the silence or music as you work. Keep them coming Shawn, I love all of them!!

I love it! The sound of the wind and the stream in the background is filled with tranquility and positive energy. The outhouse is looking good, great start to new beginnings. I can’t get enough of Cali, she’s always by your side keeping an eye on you and waiting for you to toss her toy. Loved when she went to fetch her toy on the other side of the stream, but as she was crossing back, she leisurely dropped it for a few seconds to get a drink of water.😍🤗
