Reflecting back on the last 2 years spent building an off grid log cabin alone in the Canadian wilderness.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year! This video is the full version of the 9 minute video on my other channel (Shawn James), which you can watch here: • 2 Years Alone Building...
They both document just the log cabin exterior build, not the creation of the rest of the wilderness homestead, such as the outhouse, food gardens, greenhouse, etc., which can be viewed weekly or by following along in the Playlists on both channels. I'll create and upload an interior cabin video once it's finished later this winter.

I think people under estimate the overall difficulty of such a task that this man accomplished. The strength, the accuracy, time management (seasons, weather, daylight), the mental aspect (being secluded, wild animals, not close to healthcare, absent from family), oh and documenting all of it, editing and everything else that I missed. My hats off to Shawn. “My self Reliance” I couldn’t thin of a better title. Happy New Year!

Dear Sir, I’m a 54 year old man; paralyzed from my waist down, and bedridden since October 2021, from a severe illness I’m still fighting and not quitting. I’d just want you to know, just how much I appreciate your video, of your, “Self Reliance,” and tell you how much you’ve helped me me cope through being alone, and bedridden these 2 1/2 plus years. You’re truly an amazing man, and your videos have provided me a mental outlet, a vacation of sorts. Don’t want to ramble on too much, just say, “Thank you.” I hope you are doing well. Take care.

I make no judgement in what caused this persons renal failure. At the age of 60, I was disgusted with my health and realized if I didn’t change my diet, I would face a disease ridden senior life. I changed my diet to LOW CARB…in 10 months, I lost 50 lbs, got off 7 medications and had the best blood test results ever. I eat one 2k-2.5k calorie meal a day between 4-8pm. I fast 20 hours per day and I walk 8 miles every other day. I still follow this way of eating and exercise.

Average cost of a private college education in the US today is $36k, in 1970 it was $1800. 2/3 the average salary today. A bit over 1/4 the average salary in 1970. Average renters in 1970 paid a little over a 1/4 of their monthly income on rent. Today Average renters pay nearly 1/2 of their earnings on rent. Average Salaries for college grads is even more stark. In 1970 it was 10k. Today it is 55k. An average home today costs 8 full college grad yearly salaries. In 1970 it only cost 2 1/2. There is a reason "Children" today feel that capitalism (at least todays current corrupt corporatist version of capitalism) has failed them.

Believe it or not, back in the 40s and 50s, when a whole family of four, a dog and cat, with a two car garage in the suburbs, etc, could be comfortably maintained on _one person's very average nine to five job,_ that was still capitalism. Countries that have free university education, universal healthcare, _those countries are capitalist systems too._ The choices are not only "suffer under the current *incredibly unbalanced* system" or "turn into China" you know. There are an infinite number of ways to improve people's lives within a capitalist system that we are not doing -- mainly because people have been told to believe that any improvement is socialism and bad for... some reason they don't understand and can't explain.

That’s quite the craftsmanship you have. That takes a lot of knowledge and know how to do something that complex let alone doing it by yourself and document your build. I so wished I would have done something like this in my life. It would take the rest of my days to do it now. A tip of my hat goes to you sir.

This is different from the previous. Behind everything is a reason. As I can see you learned a lot from the previous house built. And into this house you put all of your skill and knowledge. This is not a house this is a home :). God bless you sir! You are a role model for lot of us!
