Shawn, today you helped me with a project out in the horse barn. I was alone and the task seemed impossible for one person. I asked myself, well, Shawn does everything on his own, what would Shawn do here? I was then able to think differently and came up with an excellent solution that worked! Thanks for helping this 60 something old lady be more self-sufficient. Keep teaching us by example, you have more impact on others' day to day lives than you know.
When Shawn told us about needing 10,000 hours experience to be considered a master at something, I told him he was a master at inspiring others to be more self reliant. And you just proved it.
The menthol crystals are from me. Since they are my fav thing in saunas I thought you could use that for your new sauna during the long winter months, it's refreshing. Put only a few directly onto the hot stones, close your eyes, breathe deeply and enjoy. But there are countless other uses. Thank you again - I am a happily self-employed now and many game-changing ideas about how to leave the rat-race originated from you:-)!
Sugar savers are from me.. can also be used for dry goods also to take moisture out of it. I sent a note inside the amazon pkg telling you that I sent the savers because I saw you chipping away at your maple sugar. You can use them in your salt too . 😁
Ten grains of rice are enough for a small salt shaker on the table and the salt is always loose and the rice does not fall through the holes. Other salt is good to have in a sealed container and put into it a piece of tied canvas with a tablespoon of rice !!! The syrup put in the thermos is resistant to temperature changes in the room.
Shawn, I don't think I put a note in with the CHOLULA HOT SAUCE, seeds, seed starting trays & Garlic Corms. As for the elephant garlic corms, IMPORTANT read the directions before planting! Thank you for filming everything, specially Cali and your family! May God bless and keep you & your family safe and content.
So sweet of u to send that great hot sauce to Shawn my son and I love that sauce and use it often too . U put a Big smile on my face when he (Shawn) pulled that big bottle of hot sauce out on his table ! 🤣cute !
You deserve all the LOVE Shawn! You allow us to live vicariously through you and Cali! My dog Toby barks and wags his tail when he spots Cali. Might be jealousy lol
Lol, I always hated opening gifts in front of everyone myself. I understand the embarrassment. Besides that, it sure is nice to receive some useful items. You are making an impact on lives, Shawn James. Great entertainment.
Your obviously a humble guy but don't be embarrassed about getting gifts from your fans. You have a couple awesome channels and give many of us do much joy watching you hunt and build and sharing your amazing lifestyle with us. I'm a 58 yr old disabled woman, living alone and mostly homebound. Being able to watch your channels gives me more joy than you will ever know. I wish I could send you a small token of friendship. For now though I will thank you for sharing you life. Accept your gifts for your wonderful work from people that care and appreciate your videos. Wishing you all the best! Karen in Iowa
Best of luck with next year's garden Shawn. The seeds from Richard were provided from my garden on my Farm in Iowa. The Mule Team tomatoes are delicious and you're going to love the flavor of the Habaneros. :) Take care!
Thank you for sharing the gift opening! Totally love it! I also enjoyed seeing the side porch through the window! It really looks nice. And one person kiddingly said we watch your videos because we are in love with Cali!! Yes, that is another reason why I watch the videos!! I even ordered a similar orange toy for Allegra, my Golden Retriver and she loves it!! Once I throw it, she runs for it and then runs up and down the street with it! It is soooo much fun to watch her!!! ( I live on a dead end street with a gate....very safe) I would like to add that I am even learning about cooking and moving around in a kitchen. For a very long time I was lucky, I had someone who cooked for me. Since I no longer have that person, I am now doing my own cooking and I love the way your cooking is; so laid back and easy, not like the TV shows where everything is so super organized. Thank you for your wonderful, professional fun and entertaining videos. The autumn colors are amazing!! Say hi to Cali from Allegra!!
You are just being blessed, because you bless so many of us. It is touching for us to have you take the time to share what you receive in the line of gifts.
Elizabeth L. Johnson said, I see your eyelid action, Shawn. My son's do that too, blinking in a peculiar way because you've been so humbled. Always praying for you.
Every time we sit for supper, my husband says, "Did Shawna post anything?" And sue enough, you did. Love watching your videos. Thanks for your inspiration. You're an amazingly talented man. God bless you and protect you and your family.
RUclips is a full time job Shawn, it’s amazing your ability to address your followers with warmth even though seclusion is your choice, balance is the key. Take care Ikaika James.
I work for Amazon in a sort center in SE Michigan. We sort packages for only Michigan and Ontario. I've worked many, many shifts on an outbound line for Ontario. I can tell you that Ontario gets a minimum of 3 trailer loads of packages every single day. Its very, very fast paced, but whenever possible I check the addresses to see if Shawn James or MSR pops up. Considering how many Amazon packages I've seen you open, I'll get lucky one of these days and catch your package going through. :)
I love watching you open gifts! It gives us a chance to see things we might not know about. Sugar savers?!?! Whaaaat! I'm getting me some of these!!!! Thanks, Connie for sending them and thank you Shawn for sharing them!!! ❤️
Hello Shawn from rural Elk, Washington USA where I homestead 12 acres alone at 66yo. Nowadays when I'm being cranky about work that needs doin, I think "what would Shawn do?". Then I get my ass in gear!
Great girls wow I’m 66 ,trying to start tiny home community for women over 55 ,no rentals for us in Toronto,,so Shawn teaching us buy unorganized land ,build tiny homes and have nice place for grandchildren to visit ,looking now ,not easy,but together we get a home and not lonely. Thanks. Shawn
Hey Shawn, It makes me so happy to see what other caring viewers are sending to you :-)! Thanks for sharing your life with us; One of the things I value most about your channels and the good people who comment on your great videos is, it gives me proof that I am not the only one in this world who thinks like Me :-). My thanks to you Shawn, and to every other likeminded soul watching... I appreciate you all!
Hey Shawn, glad you got the Old Bay and Hat.. the hat is not the old bay logo but rather a very popular design here in Maryland . The design on the crab is the Maryland state flag which is actually a coat of Arms (only state flag in the USA based on a coat of arms). and of Course the blue crab is associated with Maryland... Old bay originated in, and is made here in Maryland.... Anyway... glad you liked it ... and yes old bay goes great on everything !!!
Thanks, Shawn, for sharing your time with us through this much enjoyed mail and gift opening vid. As a native Vermonter residing in Maryland now, seeing you wear that Maryland hat put a smile on my face; never would I have imagined ever seeing that on you, way up there in a beautiful, secluded cabin in the northern Ontario forest - simply heartwarming, as it reminded me how small our world really is, and how much more connected people are to each other these days! Old Bay Seasoning is HUGE down here, and has been an iconic fixture in MD for decades, being especially loved on Blue Crabs and other seafoods in and around the Chesapeake Bay, but also enjoyed on a large variety of other foods too. Btw, as you may have already noticed, the maker of that seasoning, McCormick & Co., Inc., is the same company that makes the ever-popular Montreal Steak Seasoning that I first learned about from watching Joe's channel, and have seen used on so many other Canadian outdoors channels as well. ATB
Wow it’s like Christmas....how much do your subscribers love you?! I’m getting very addicted to these gentle ,informative and inspirational vlogs Shawn and of course your delightful doggy !
Hello, lovely gifts from your viewers. May you always be showered with gifts because you bring so much to this channel, I'm sure you have made a difference In many who only have admiration for the man you are and the things you share with us. Kudos to you always.
Starting today, label the date on the Cholula Bottle, and take picture every month or two as it gets used up.... just for laughs later when we see if it lasts you a whole year...
For aromas in the sauna, try an old Finnish tradition, pour a little beer into a mug and add some water to it then toss it on the hot rocks. The sauna will smell like fresh baked bread, very relaxing and comforting. Fire starting, a small clump of 00 grade steel wool lights easily and burns VERY HOT great for damp kindling.
As you sit and thank your viewers I would like to thank you. Over the thanksgiving weekend I had dinner at my sisters. I was asked if I would like some chaga tea. I jumped at the opportunity. It’s harvested in Redbridge Ont. She gave me a good supple. I now drink it nightly and on weekends I add a teaspoon to my coffee. Thanks to your other channel My Self Reliance I knew what I was drinking. Cheers Shawn.
Shawn you producing videos is all the thanks your viewers want. We can appreciate what you do and enjoy every one. Just look at the notes letters and gifts is a little way for people to express how much you and your lifestyle are enjoyed. It will keep you motivated. We don’t just randomly stop and check out your videos because we have nothing to do. I think most people are like me and really do look forward to the next video and don’t take what you do for granted. Keep them coming Shawn! 👍👍
Nice array of little gifts....the greyling was so appropriate and the hot sauce is you. I am glad you do these videos. Viewers appreciate all the effort you put in the videos and want to thank you in small ways. Nice :)
Hi Shawn .....that was the biggest bottle of hot sauce I’ve ever seen! I laughed when I seen it because you do like your hot sauce!!what a lot of great gifts,I enjoyed very much this video it was fun to watch. There certainly was a lot of useful things you can use. Thanks for putting it on the video.
Shawn, we ALL Love to watch your videos of you opening friend mail & what people send you. And we know you appreciate everything. The last thing you opened , the fish , was absolutely beautiful craftsmanship! You will never run out of hot sauce now. 🤣😂🤣 Enjoy enjoy!! Keep up the videos from subs in KY, USA!! 👍
Shawn--II think a greenhouse may be in order to prolong the growing season. Any plans of that? I know finishing the longhouse and shop come next. Thank you as always.
Watching your this video at 4:45 on October 22. I think I remember you showing the outside temperature at 22F. It is 81F here right now in Manhattan Beach, CA. No leaves falling, no frost, no swell lakes nor wilderness. Thanks for sharing your world.
That fish art is amazingly beautiful! I love the giant cholula. :D I didn't even know that existed, now that I do, I must find that. That is so nice for people to send in gifts and for you to share them with all of us. Thank you everyone. I enjoyed the unboxing.
Believe me, we get way more out of your videos. The images, attention to detail and not to mention it reminds me of my dad that built houses and things all his life.
SHAWN,YOUR fire to me is the enjoyment of your family and you,AN D CALI!🐾♥️🐾☘enjoy how the land is a gift to all of us,AND ONE DAY AT A TIME!🐾♥️🐾♥️☘☘☘🎃
Thank-you for forging ahead and opening gifts on camera. We know how humble you are and "yes" it is a tad uncomfortable, but it is meaningful to the viewers who love watching good wholesome videos. there are so few good channels, that we all feel blessed to have you share your life with us. Blessings to you and your Family !!
Your embarrassed Shawn... ouch away you go man... people like you and derive a lot of enjoyment out of watching your videos and if they feel moved to send you a little something... just enjoy it darling. You have obviously touched thier lives xxx xxx xxx xxx
Hi Shawn, You have brought a 1,000,000+ of us happiness times your hundreds of videos!!! you have put 1,000+ hours of editing and it shows in the excellent videos. than you for all you do! As always God bless you, Cali and your family. You care and we care to watch! Thank you so much for the many hours enjoyment!!!
I love what you do, Shaun. You inspire people to believe in themselves and to have a go. You are one of the people on here who I follow that inspired me to film and make my own YT channel, though it's mostly about cooking I do love the outdoors too. I love seeing your Canadian wilderness, it's stunningly beautiful. ❤
Its so nice that people send you things and you feel it what a wonderful gift you have enjoy it you have worked hard to come this far in your life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Greay job
Shawn, I think with the gifts you give us with your videos and knowledge, no matter how much you receive we are still getting so much more. Thank you for everything. Best wishes.
I really enjoy the package opening vids. It feels very genuine ......people enjoy connecting with you.....the more you share the more people want to give something back to you. Thank you
If only hubby and I were about 12-15 years younger or so to do what you do, we would have done it in a heartbeat! We live vicariously through your sharing your journey at The Cabin. Great work, Shawn! My husband is a home, mostly hand-tool woodworker, and to have to eventually leave that skill behind and downsize in a couple of years will be a tough one. But with hopefully ours and your tradition and respect for nature will live on! You and Calley (not sure if I spelled this correctly) are one amazing team. Carry on!
This is awesome. I've been following your journey for a while and thoroughly enjoyed your love for old bay and wearing the Maryland hat for the video! Nice little unexpected surprise as a Maryland native. Keep up the great work and videos!
Hi Shawn great video thanks for showing your appreciation to the million plus fans out here your a true inspiration to so many including myself and to alot of peaple you give hope too, keep up the fine example of what we peaple should aspire to become and the humility that shows your closeness with our creator, some day you will get a crown for your compassion for your fellow man and example you display. Thanks Shawn
Wonderful generosity from those folk who sent you gifts. Enjoy them. Wonderful table now too....everything looks even cosier with the proper table, a table runner and the pillows/cushions soften the whole cabin up. Take care.
Hi Shawn 😊 Please continue to share the gifts and generosity of others. Most of us (subscribers) are like minded and would love to purchase and support those who have freely shared with you their wares.

Theresa Lero , indeed he does!👍👍😎👍👍!
Theresa Lero Now That touches even my heart ♥️ God bless
He is certainly inspiring! He helps me as well.

Miss Sophie thanks so much and I'm very happy to hear that!

Very kind and thoughtful of you Connie
This is so nice.
LOL, I remember that maple sugar, too funny.

Other salt is good to have in a sealed container and put into it a piece of tied canvas with a tablespoon of rice !!! The syrup put in the thermos is resistant to temperature changes in the room.
I know how you feel with the awkwardness. No worries - we are family, now. It's fun seeing what you get in the mail.
plus it reminds me of how kind and generous people are
What a beautiful grayling. What a tinsmith and painter.
Yes! Awesome gift!
Yeah, that's a stunning piece of artwork.
You’re a nice guy and you’re really appreciated by the people who follow you and your videos are fantastic
Shawn, I don't think I put a note in with the CHOLULA HOT SAUCE, seeds, seed starting trays & Garlic Corms. As for the elephant garlic corms, IMPORTANT read the directions before planting! Thank you for filming everything, specially Cali and your family! May God bless and keep you & your family safe and content.
Richard Frazee Thanks Richard! Very thoughtful
So sweet of u to send that great hot sauce to Shawn my son and I love that sauce and use it often too . U put a Big smile on my face when he (Shawn) pulled that big bottle of hot sauce out on his table ! 🤣cute !
I cracked up at the size of the hot sauce bottle! Too funny
That monster sauce bottle gave me the giggles. Bravo! Have you tried Piri Piri sauce? It usually comes in a tiny bottle....definitely not for sissys.
@@Adagio1.62 I love piri-piri sauce, great recommendation Colleen :)
I always enjoy seeing the kindness and generosity of others.
That grayling plaque is a real work of art....so many talented people out there.
Don't rush it. Take your time. We like watching you unpack things, it is not boring.
Expressing gratitude and appreciation is affirming for all. You’re a nice human being, Shawn. Love your videos.
You deserve all the LOVE Shawn! You allow us to live vicariously through you and Cali! My dog Toby barks and wags his tail when he spots Cali. Might be jealousy lol

Hey Shawn I have a problem... I can't get enough of your videos! Keep them coming... please!
A Joy To Watch!!
English1 I’m starting to get addicted now too !
Anthea Blackmore I am addicted and have watched some twice.
Best of luck with next year's garden Shawn. The seeds from Richard were provided from my garden on my Farm in Iowa. The Mule Team tomatoes are delicious and you're going to love the flavor of the Habaneros. :) Take care!

Very nice - generous. Humans are really good after all. Restores my faith. Of course you need to open on camera. It makes the givers feel good.
Elizabeth L. Johnson said, I see your eyelid action, Shawn. My son's do that too, blinking in a peculiar way because you've been so humbled. Always praying for you.
What thoughtful viewers you have! (That fish was really beautiful)
I would hope you view this as a reflection of how much you mean to us, and the impact you have on your subs. You are an exceptional fellow. 🌲
Very eloquently and succinctly put.
Alan Mumford thank you, sir.
Every time we sit for supper, my husband says, "Did Shawna post anything?" And sue enough, you did. Love watching your videos. Thanks for your inspiration. You're an amazingly talented man. God bless you and protect you and your family.
That would be Shawn not Shawna and sure, not sue....auto spell... lol!

Shawn James I’m always with you Shawn.
Don't be embarrassed man, it's like Christmas for all of us watching you open everything
Out of all the good stuff that you do , you deserve all of these gifs to help make your camping much easier. We love you Shawn ❤️
I work for Amazon in a sort center in SE Michigan. We sort packages for only Michigan and Ontario. I've worked many, many shifts on an outbound line for Ontario. I can tell you that Ontario gets a minimum of 3 trailer loads of packages every single day.

Put those shelves up! What a sense of encouragement with all the goodies you've been sent! People love you and your channel!

"Cholula Shawn", holy smokes, you'll be able to hold out all year!
Hello, lovely gifts from your viewers. May you always be showered with gifts because you bring so much to this channel, I'm sure you have made a difference In many who only have admiration for the man you are and the things you share with us. Kudos to you always.
Thank you Mr. James. If I could think of something you need I would send it but you already have all a man needs. Lucky guy.
It’s so nice that people take the time to send you gifts Shawn, it restores faith in humanity 😊
Expressing your gratitude is humble and kind of you.
Whoever made that fish is talented. Looking forward to watching and learning from your projects.

Enjoyed the mail opening, thank you for sharing, a lot of people care about you.
🍁🌲🌿 I love mail time. I understand why it may feel awkward, but people enjoy seeing you receiving gifts, enjoy. 🌿🍁🌲
A heart warming vid showing people wanting to give back to you and showing their appreciation to you for sharing your life through vids.
Ho ho ho! Just like Christmas !!!
Starting today, label the date on the Cholula Bottle, and take picture every month or two as it gets used up.... just for laughs later when we see if it lasts you a whole year...
Cholula is my go to 👍
WOW!! I've never seen Cholula that large before. It's my favourite hot sauce.
The long and the short of it is Shawn, we love you and Cali. 🤗❤️🌻🤸😍💞💓
For aromas in the sauna, try an old Finnish tradition, pour a little beer into a mug and add some water to it then toss it on the hot rocks. The sauna will smell like fresh baked bread, very relaxing and comforting.

Shawn I love how you always leave us with a stunning Nature shot. You are Truly Blessed to live in such splendor.
It must be nice to feel appreciated and receive so many presents. It must mean you are doing some things right
Really liked the mail opening Shawn! Interesting to see how people are interacting with you using mail and gifts.
What is overwhelming, is the size of that hot sauce bottle!!

Shawn--II think a greenhouse may be in order to prolong the growing season. Any plans of that? I know finishing the longhouse and shop come next. Thank you as always.
Shirley Anderson I’d love to see Shawn build an underground greenhouse. You know those ones you step down into and the glass is on top above ground??
I love when you do this on video. I think it's interesting and usually timely. Thank you for that, Merry Ann from Minnesota

I love what you do, Shaun. You inspire people to believe in themselves and to have a go. You are one of the people on here who I follow that inspired me to film and make my own YT channel, though it's mostly about cooking I do love the outdoors too. I love seeing your Canadian wilderness, it's stunningly beautiful. ❤
Its so nice that people send you things and you feel it what a wonderful gift you have enjoy it you have worked hard to come this far in your life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Greay job
Shawn, I think with the gifts you give us with your videos and knowledge, no matter how much you receive we are still getting so much more. Thank you for everything. Best wishes.
I really enjoy the package opening vids. It feels very genuine ......people enjoy connecting with you.....the more you share the more people want to give something back to you. Thank you
If only hubby and I were about 12-15 years younger or so to do what you do, we would have done it in a heartbeat! We live vicariously through your sharing your journey at The Cabin. Great work, Shawn! My husband is a home, mostly hand-tool woodworker, and to have to eventually leave that skill behind and downsize in a couple of years will be a tough one. But with hopefully ours and your tradition and respect for nature will live on! You and Calley (not sure if I spelled this correctly) are one amazing team. Carry on!
Good morning Sir Shawn James , And God b Blessed You.
Really like these videos. Heartwarming to see the kindness of people.
This is awesome. I've been following your journey for a while and thoroughly enjoyed your love for old bay and wearing the Maryland hat for the video! Nice little unexpected surprise as a Maryland native. Keep up the great work and videos!
Hi Shawn great video thanks for showing your appreciation to the million plus fans out here your a true inspiration to so many including myself and to alot of peaple you give hope too, keep up the fine example of what we peaple should aspire to become and the humility that shows your closeness with our creator, some day you will get a crown for your compassion for your fellow man and example you display. Thanks Shawn
Wonderful generosity from those folk who sent you gifts. Enjoy them. Wonderful table now too....everything looks even cosier with the proper table, a table runner and the pillows/cushions soften the whole cabin up.
Take care.
