Beautiful. This video marks a peek at things to come. It is more than just added people in the frame... the cinematic execution that happens when your wife is shooting you is different. Beyond you setting up a camera and filming your activity... we are now treated to little moments that would have never made it in the edit before. You leaning against the oven and smiling? Snippets like this that you would likely not have shot on your own are now going to be subtle inclusions when new eyes are behind the lens. It is beautiful and wonderful. While It is a softening of the rugged solitary existence and documenting that has been the staple of this channel, it is not a departure of the core bedrock mission and feel of what and who you are. It is growth.

Здравствуйте Шон. Когда просматривает ваше видио где вы встречаете своих родных. У вас глаза загораются огоньком,и улыбка настолько открыта,искренне ,с любовью. И вы становитесь таким счастливым. И это вас очень красит. Улыбайтесь по чаще просто так , ведь улыбка и смех это заряд позитивных эмоций. Прибавляет сил,и вдохновляет на творческие дела, и на позитив к жизни. Да,хорошо когда близкие приезжают ,они вам дают немного расслабиться и забыться немного о тех делах которые вы держите в голове. Вам наверное многие из подписчиков писали что вы очень,очень приятный мужчина на внешность,сильный по строительству тяжелых фронт работ. А с искренней улыбкой вы еще становитесь милей. Я очень ,очень рада за вас и ваших близких. Всех ,всех благ вам и вашим близким.

First and foremost I’d like to say I’ve watched your videos from the beginning and appreciate the quality of your content and the work you put into every video. I have a story very similar to yours, I worked for one of the largest companies in the world for many years and got caught in a merger and buyout of that company and subsequently opened my own business 9 months before the recession hit in 08 and faced very similar issues as you talked about. I haven’t made it to off grid yet but did severely down size to a condo out in the middle of no where by a lake and nothing but wilderness. I hate that it took me that many years to realize that a wealthy man comes in many forms depending on each individual interpretation. It’s great to see a wholesome channel like yours in today’s world, so keep up the great work. 👍

I don't want a big fancy house, or a Porsche, or any of that stuff. They're just things. This is beautiful. I watched the build compilation and that's just such a good thing for a man to do.

What a beautiful paradise you have. Plus, and it's important, when you're with your family, I feel like you're an accomplice together. You are all beautiful. Thank you for sharing these fantastic moments of your life.

God bless you abundantly, from New Zealand 😊 I have only recently found your channel, and the first video I watched was the original build from scratch - I LOVE everything about your workmanship, your skill set, your courage, determination and perseverance, and your top quality video production. ❤️ Watching these is food for the soul! 👌😊 We Kiwis love our outdoor lifestyle, so this content resonates, but at a way higher level.
