To watch me build my next cabin - bigger and better than this one!..
To relax…
To virtually immerse yourself in nature…
To see how I live debt free, stress free and low cost…
To see how I build things alone…
To see how I cook with no electricity or gas…
To hear what steps I took to retire in my mid-forties so I could live my dream life…
To interact with the happiest and most helpful community of viewers on RUclips…
To become more self-reliant.
Finally, one video showing the entire build process from the cutting of the first tree to the laying of the last floor board - no food, no talking, no visitors, just carpentry, bushcraft, timber framing, blood, sweat and tears.
My end goal is to have an off grid, primitive wilderness homestead, where I can practice primitive technology, bushcraft and traditional skills in an effort to become as completely self reliant as possible in this day and age.
In late April, I cut the first balsam fir tree down on the property near Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. Next, from June until August, I collected all of the building materials and fabricated the cabin using saddle notches in the corners. I cleared the land in August, laid down gravel for a pad and began erecting the off grid log cabin. By September, the walls were done and I started on the roof framing in October.
In November, I burned the roof boards with shou sugi ban, an ancient Japanese technique for preserving wood. Against convention, I installed the roof in board and batten fashion, using my roofing background to come up with techniques to keep the cabin watertight.
Next, I moved inside where I installed a Vermont Castings wood stove on top of a limestone flagstone floor, which extended from the doorway to the center of the cabin underneath the fireplace.
For the rest of the floor, I framed it using 2x4 and 2x6 red pine boards and then installed 2x6x10' boards, which I burned using the same shou sugi ban technique.
Now in December, I chinked the walls with moss and clay and have been spending a lot of time in the cabin, starting rustic furniture made with materials from the surrounding forest.

My Self Reliance My uncle, a trapper near fox creek, alberta, tells me the game wardens burnt down someones cabin built in the woods. It has to be on skids, now, even on an owned traplines. Wardens (athabasca office) tell me one can only "camp" 21 days, and not allowed to "live" in the wild. If so, they would be forced out and, yes, cabin destroyed. Purchased land seems only way..but not all have money. If any, its they that could use this resource most.
Sad; ww1 and 2 didnt do much to keep us living free..or id id be out there too.
6 stars out of 5 on both cabin and video presentation.
My Self
My Self Reliance if I were concediring building myself a log cabin, what advise would you advise and is there a list of tools you would recommend ?
My Self Reliance, how many days did they build the house ?
Why did you cut all the way down on the one window instead of cutting it the right size like the others?? Was there a purpose to that? I was just wondering.. also I think it would look nice if you built a railing around the porch
love the silence! thank you for no music
I agree. I set the video up playing next to me while doing mechanical repetitive work and it felt peaceful.
Fax
yes
Tanks for no music
yessss!
It is so awesome that you build this cabin with no power tools. What an achievement!! Well done.
I too am a firm believer in "hand tool" construction. I don't like all the noise.
Shear will power
yeah! also the colosseum in Rome.
Hi Lily!!!😘
A chainsaw would of had this job done 10x faster
This guy summarizes some of the best of the human qualities: ambition, audacity, ingenuity, strength, perseverance, technical knowledge, construction knowledge, survival skills...etc, etc, etc
My husband and I are older now, and just found your channel. We did a great deal of work for ourselves when we were young to build a home. We very much enjoy your channel and it makes us wish we were young enough to give it a go again. God bless you and your wife. We have been married 50 years. Best decision we ever made.
This was wonderful to read
Hi
I didn't see one single power tool. You built a log cabin from scratch, and from the ground up. Very few people in this world would even attempt this, let alone complete it. Your man card should be made out of platinum and embossed with 24k gold! Well done! Feel proud of your achievement!
Only legend can do that
@IwillSLAP theSHITOUTchoo No you cant...
@IwillSLAP theSHITOUTchoo but can you do it the way THIS GUY did it? no, you can't
@@regularguy8808 he said drywall man dont fight with him he totally missed the point of the build n the nature part n obviously been on too much tv and youtube cuz treees are pretty good insulation
Some 150 years ago, this kind of house was very common for people to live in, these days, I don't think many would be able to live in them, since they're used to such different conditions.
Anyone else feel satisfaction watching this video?
Not really
But thats just me
I made realize how important work ethic and patience are, and how rare these days.
Ali Aids I do!😁
This dude is legit man. Wow. I enjoyed watching this
I watched this video probably around 15 times since its upload. You make me want to buy my own land and create something like this. You made me found my love for woodwork and crafting, because before I was cleaning out a cave and creating a sustainable life place in an actual cave.
Thank you for your content. So much respect for your work and skills. This is incredible.
I am absolutely impressed; more work, less talk, pure genius.
Of course Mr. James.. U did what we all want..a place where u can go gather ur thoughts and be comfortably happy.. u bought land.. U cut trees to build a cozy space u can admire and muniplate the home design as u go.. It is really an innovation from ground up to the last nail on the roof.. All done by u..1 man.
A great accomplishment. Am going to say..I been a wild eye kid (the kid in me)..waiting in anticipation... It's like watching ur fav tv show..or HG wells Time Machine movie..
Thank You for sharing.
Stay safe... May this place and all the other projects u have in ur mind (future cabins) be blessed.
God bless.
Im an young man of 65 and have worked hard most of my life and i just wanted to say well done buddy. Oh you got a great dog there as well. I wish you the best.
First of all Shawn, thank you for allowing all of us to watch and learn from your hard work, determination and willingness to venture out and continually motivate yourself, in all you do. I especially enjoy seeing how Callie just loves you, and has been a meaningful addition to your everyday life and work ethic. You always have time for mans' Best Friend. Above all you have taught me patience, to have patience in life and learn and be motivated. No Couch Potato in your family we can all see that. I look forward to seeing your new videos and your Self Reliance.
Staggeringly impressive and testament to what we are capable of with the right will power and attitude. Total respect to you sir 👍
The almighty power of editing.
and tools
Being a carpenter for over 30 years, I can say this is just Amazing, The amount of work this took doing it with only hand tools is AMAZING. Great Job, certainly an inspiration.
Y
@@abee7510 what you mean Y . I bet you never in your life you did hard work like this
My elementary students are mesmerized with your building this cabin! Now they are ready to build with their Lincoln Logs.
Lincoln Logs inspired me to become both a civil engineer & an architect. Now i only wish to do what this man does and build a homestead of my own. 25 y/o. Maybe i can intern for 6 months before my own venture into self-reliance?!
@@xxgoldmoney 17 years old. I had no fun with Lincoln logs, was never imaginative in that sense, except poetry and music, to be honest. I want to live the rest of my life In a cabin like that though, with nothing except a computer hooked up to a generator technology wise. My plan is by 19 to have this cabin built, and live there with animals and a farm up in Alaska .
Great way to learn how to be self sufficient. No one has to go completely without. But at nite! Peace and quiet!🙂👍
🤙
I’m from the construction industry my dad is a GC I’ve been doing this for over 30 years. You’ve done an amazing job ridiculous hard work and time you’ve put into that. Very few people could understand or appreciate what you’ve done. To say I’m impressed is an understatement
June 20, 2021 Happy Fathers” Day Shawn you are an incredible man, God bless you and your family.
From the many thousands watching now and the millions that will follow this journey in due time, we have shared this adventure with you and although it's your story, we have been lucky enough to have been a part of the dream. You have and will inspire countless people to become self reliant. Thank you.
Adam Raymond my sentiments exactly
:)
Amazing! Inspiring and definitely motivating. Thank you very much Sir.
Happy New Year
Adam Raymond: Well said.
thanks :)
I admire your dedication. Here in the states they say” measure twice cut once” . Never seen you measuring twice, and it always turns out perfect.
No sophisticated electronic tools.
Refreshing show in this chaotic world. Thank you . You should be proud of yourself. Cali is adorable companion.
2022 and I am back to watch your projects again Mr James. Thanks always for sharing these amazing videos. It makes me think about those settlers and how they've made their cabins and how difficult it must have been for them. The hard work you put in building these projects must be so gratifying after it is all done. I hope you inspire more people with your work. God bless!
I never apologize for sharing. Or expressing feelings..and Sean,
Only listen to what is for your highest a d greatest good!
You have been a "life Saver" for me these past 2 months, watching daily even leaving you on while doing work in the home.
I did build a Log Home in Calistoga California with my husband ,and best friends..lots of fabulous memories..working thru grief and thanks to who you are, and ALL that you share it's getting me thru ..thank you every day.. Angie Barsekian
My 88 year old brother was the happiness when at his hunting cabin in the woods. Now under hospice in a nursing home. My wish would be for him to fade away in that mountain cabin. Thanks for sharing this video. Loved it.
Granny fan
Sorry to hear that.
Robert Nooney He passed. I hope God had one like yours waiting for him. I get such enjoyment-watching you and all your hard work. I know where your coming from. Peace and quiet.

Wow! The most compelling video ever demonstrating how real men do not need to speak 180+ words per minute. Instead he lets his masterful skills do the talking. A wonderful production in every sense!
Смотрю Вас уже лет 5. Я из Казахстана. Жду каждый день новое видео. С удовольствием смотрю все видео. Новый дом класс!
Hi , i just watched your video, about four years later, i think its great what you do there, beautiful place, regards from costa rica !
I watched the entire video. There's something primitive and authentic in using skills, tools and nature to make this. He's a polymath. My favorite type of people. Excellent.
Yea, I was a boy scout at age 8 and started fly fishing when I was 14. I absolutely get what's going on with you when you're "out there". Especially in the pristine areas. I've got 2 acres in Southern Utah that I'm going to build an adobe and rough lumber home on. I'm nervous about my skills but watching you really anchored my commitment and confidence. I'm going to follow you and take pictures of the process. Intelligent, kind, hard working, (probably introverted) and productive. Just excellence.
My dad built our house in the 50s with hand tools, some skill and lots of heart. I was mesmerized by this reminder of that time. Bravo to anyone with this level of determination no matter what the goal!
You see so many burning the wood with a gas torch, your idea of three planks together and a small fire underneath to form a chimney was inspirational. Nice job.
This is pretty amazing to watch. Agree with some of the other comments... the silence is amazing
In an earlier post, you said something along the lines of "sorry it's taking so long on the build". If I were doing what you are, I'd still be cutting the trees down. You're making tremendous progress. I always look forward to your videos.
david coryell The entire wall portion of the cabin was built from pre-cut and milled fence posts, or at least that was my understanding per his earlier video when he did the first stages of construction in his backyard.
Awesome, you kept this 76 year old great grandma entertained. You should be very proud!
The man is a machine....the ultimate solar powered machine 😊
Again, in the end of 2022.
This video is so significant for all of us, your comunit here in RUclips.
So much inspiration!
Thank you so much, Shawn and Cali!
😍😍😍👏👏👏
🌻🍀🌻🍀🌻🍀🌻🍀🌻
Best vid I have ever seen on YT. I was late to work today just didn't want to go , kept hitting snooze . This man has a purpose in life . How he works is so smooth he doesn't fight the wood he works in unison with it. I fight everything everyday and it all fights back and wears me out . The physical labor he preforms is a lost art and the skills he has are top notch.
Just amazing!!! First video I have seen without a single word spoken and no music. Eloquent!! What is more no shaky zooming in zooming out swimming camera. All video makers should learn from this masterpiece. I am your fan for ever!
Anzay what a total inspiration I just loved your video and great craftsmanship and detail you've gone into
What is the box for that you made under the floor
Don't want to take away from this guy, he's fantastic, but if you like the silent building genre check out Primitive Technology! He does similar things in a more tropical environment
Reseeing your videos after a few years is still a great joy.
Gives me warmth and peacefullnes.
everytime I'm tired i go back to this video and relax listening to the sound of basic tools on wood, thank you my friend
Who could not like this video? Shawn, you are a beast. That cabin is awesome. Have a good holiday season.
Thanks for condensing all the building and action into one video! I am glad you mentioned how little prior knowledge you had with the log cabin build. Our culture glorifies experts and it is nice to see that a layman can build such a beautiful cabin.
My buddy and I built our shack back in the 60's, when we were very young teenagers. We scowler the rural neighborhood for any loose wood 2x4's, wood 2x8x3/4 planks nails, and tar paper. Made the door and the window door ourselves. Even had a padlock on the door. back then we only had tools. I remember straightening out used nails, so we could reuse them.
My cousin in Norway did something interesting, and I don't know if it's common practice - but I think it's pretty smart. He wanted a good-size cabin, but he built a small log cabin to live in whilst he built another, larger cabin around it. That way he could live there while the larger cabin was being built. Then the idea was to disassemble the smaller cabin when the large cabin was finished. When I visited him in Norway, the smaller cabin was still inside the larger one. He hadn't the heart to disassemble it right away. Now it's rebuilt as a guest, or storage cottage on another area of his land.
Every time you post a video, first thing I pay attention to is a duration time. If it's five or ten minutes, I don't watch it... if it's one hour, like today I'm about to make my coffee and start positively my day. Thank you, sir.
I would like to say this is one of the best illustrated videos I have seen. thank you for taking the time and sharing, be blassed
Nice very nice and You are a kind, hardworking, patient, tasteful man
I love the charming picturesque nature that keeps me away from city life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
I have watched every single episode you have uploaded so far, and today I decided to watch the "condensed" version of your entire cabin build.... I am in awe of you. It is hard to believe that you managed to lift all those huge logs by yourself, and that no power tools were used. Absolutely riveting !
This man is such a positive influence on everything.
Shawn...I am so grateful that you have taken time to show this to people out here in YT land...I can watch for hours and enjoy every minute...when you added Cali I enjoy it even more than I did!!!! Did you ever watch A LONE IN THE WILDERNESS? I have watched it so many times and you men amaze me! If I weren't the age I am I would try to do this too! You are so right, the drive to do this and to learn new things. I am a woman, 75 years old and I just changed the carburetor in my riding lawn mower! I had no clue how to do that or even what one looked like. What I did know was it would probably cost me $200. (or more) to have a repair person do it for me & I just don't have the money. I watched You Tube, found out what the problem probably was (by the symptoms) watched how it was done (more than once), ordered the part and changed it! It now runs beautifully! Everything CAN be done! I love these videos, thank you for showing us "how to". I enjoy your "endless" energy!!!! bye, bye Judie
Yes, I think one of the wonders of the internet is that it has brought out people's altruistic nature to share what they know for the simple satisfaction of helping others, even when it offers no tangible reward for those doing the work. This is what Microsoft did not anticipate when it spent years and tens of millions of dollars developing the Encarta encyclopedia, before the rug was yanked out from underneath them by the far superior Wikipedia, which is put together for free and makes money for almost nobody. There is no sin in the pride of being knowledgable and competent, and of sharing what you know for no other sake than to do it. The shared knowledge and wisdom available on forums for topics of all kinds, combined with instructional videos, make almost anything possible. For instance, I am building my own MRI machine out of toothpicks and marshmallows, and learning brain surgery in my spare time.
Michael M....Thank you for your comment & it is a wonderful thing people do to just plain help other people with NO monetary expense involved! I have learned so much on YT to get me through so much that has to be done around my home. I have no money so I must do it myself! The first time I watch the video I don't "get it at all". The next viewing I understand a little....after watching several times (and I do watch it several times) I "get it"!!!! Thank you all you "You Tube" commenters & video makers....YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! Are you really studying "brain surgery" & and MRI out of tooth picks & marshmallows? Or are you kidding me? Judie
IMPRESSIVE, MOST IMPRESSIVE.
But what I'm most impressed of is his humbleness. "I'm learning as I go along" Words to live by.
What drive, commitment, and energy. Talk about getting the job done. WOW !
Pure nature in this mans heart, soul and blood. Incredible building a homestead by hands! - Oh, And I love your dog! Happy Fall 2020 ..... Tennessee
i have not commented yet but i have watched every video from start to finish. i do think i have enjoyed this project as much as you. i hope it is not the last one you do. you have done a magnificent job on this cabin and i just cant wait to see what is next. thank you for sharing this video with us.
Not only is this cabin amazing, the time and effort taken to film, edit, and produce all these videos is impressive. So much work went into this and its truly amazing and inspiring. As always, amazing work and thank you for these videos.
HELLO FROM MANITOBA. I've watched this many times, you taught me how to make log cabins your talents and skills are all over my designs and projects I am deeply indebted to you sir and I wish nothing but the best for you.
After watching this, my handyman skills seem inadequate. Awesome achievement... much respect.😀👍
I LOVE the fact you did it without power tools! Loved the primitiveness of it. 😍
Shawn, I've come to appreciate the phiscal and mental stamina it takes to build a log cabin like this. You could work days on end and hardly see a scratch. I am amazed. Thanks for the video. - Josh
One of the most hardworking ppl I've ever seen in my life..your president salutes you!
I just recently found your videos. I`m glad I did. I am from ON {Sudbury) but lived a great portion of my childhood in Labrador City. I love to fish, hunting not so much but I am so at home watching your work, it makes me feel like I am home. I am 51 now, childhood is over but I still fish every day that I can even though I now live in Plater rock NB. I just wanted to tell you that you put some fire back in my belly from watching your journey. Thanks Brother. Blessing to you, Callie, the Wife and girls. You are a true inspiration.
Why charring of the wood for your roof? Please explain. :) Interesting.
This was impressive. I watched the whole thing. What a man!
My brother loves your videos l like them to but my little loves them so far he built a log cabin out of pretzel logs. Looks really good my dad bought him some Lincoln logs he spends hour on making them even he being autistic he does a good job ! Thank you your videos has helped him in so many ways !
My father built everything Fromm natural materials And hand tools , no hurt an ever blew parts of. The thatch house off, it was alive long Es xperiance making me the person I m , it is pleasing to see people who respect nature living with it and rejoicing , end ,
After watching this, I think the best thing for us to do is buy the kit. We are in our 60’s and we see that the mind is willing, but the body says “Oh you you ain’t”. We would have loved to do this when we were younger though.
We bought a kit and that really is picking a plan, they cut the logs,
Number them, include some direction and a rep. will come when your ready to start the first log..got mine from Montana, lodge pole pine..but only because my Grandparents did that in Montana in 1912!, they deliver...right to you..but you really do all the rest..that for ,me
Is the best of memories!! Good luck. Angela Barsekian
You are so awesome for doing that what you are doing. Thanks so much. By watching your videos I feel myself very relaxed. Also I love your reflections about all of that. They are very humble. ❤❤❤That makes you person even more precious.
Amazing. Saw it was over an hour long and thought I'd just flick through to the end but I ended up watching the entire thing. It was incredibly cathartic.
Holy shit, imagine all the strength, the tenacity he has to work from day to day... Respect from Vietnam, sir.
Sam Le Gut Asso!
Du maàà
That roof is genius
I SO AGREE... SILENCE IS GOLDEN. THE SOUND OF MIMMANLIST NOISES. JUST A GIRL HERE, LOVING THIS CHANNEL. PRETTY GOLDEN RETRIVER BTW... NAME? GR ARE A GREAT BREED
WHY CAPS?
@@maxmustermann4616 EASIER TO READ. YUPPERS
Shawn, one thing is for sure.....no one can ever say you are a slacker!! Great videos and builds...love the can-do attitude and thoughtful commentaries.
You sir are an inspiration and a work horse. I broke a sweat several times just watching ya. Hell of a job!
I LOVE WATCHING YOU WORK IT IS LIKE A PASSION FOR YOU AND I AM LIVING MY LIFE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU I AM JUST STARTING TO TRY THEM ALL !!!!
When I lived in Japan I rebuilt a lovely old traditional house with basic cheap tools , this really reminds me of that experience
Best hour and three minutes I have spent in a long time. Captivating, and motivating! As someone who works alone, I understand the creativity it takes to do a three man job. Thank you for sharing.
Órale! I don't know any Macias'. Good to meet you! I hail from The SF Bay Area. :)
My dad always would say, when he was here. “Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.” I’ve added, “Formulate your own thoughts and and have your own experiences. Learn from yours and others mistakes. Give yourself permission to fail. You have definitely have done that. 😉 I just wanted to say, from a displaced Cape Bretoner, here in Victoria, BC, I am grateful and inspired by your video. The narration at the end was awesome. I’d like to hear you speak more through the video, on things like, why you scorch the wood, the cooler box or pantry in the floor, and what you had done under the stove, (concrete?) and behind the stove. Did you use just Portland cement or a mixture? So many questions. Keep up the awesome work or play!🙏🏼😉❤️🇨🇦
I learned from other programs, that scorched wood, is an original form of water proofing. So it's on the roof to prevent the wood from being soaked by rain. Hope this helps. Good day
Better than anything on tv.The real reality with great results.Thank You .
Extraordinario!!! Felicitaciones , me sorprende como armoniza con la naturaleza y sobrevive a ella. Mis respeto desde Argentina.
i truly do not say this very often... But i have the utmost respect for you and what you have accomplished with this cabin,and life as well..may God Bless and may peace,health and happiness follow you and yours....
Shawn,
You are the epitome of a " man's man " !
Happy Holidays.
You are An INSPIRATION!
Bruce Farmer Amen!!
Every day is a lesson...massive Blessings to you sir...from England. .a gardener. ....respect to you n.yours.....you seem to have ample. .timber...great..😊
One of the positives of the internet is getting to 'meet' people like you. Subscribed.
Amazing series ...sat and watched hours with my dad and my kids enjoyed it as well ...very interesting and he is very talented and full of knowledge!!!
I once again am completely consumed by this build i've watched from the beginning and each time how much i'd love to be able to do this. We can see the love and joy you get from the work you put into the cabin, that it's not just a cabin to you it's a passion. I just like to say Thank You for sharing.
THANKS A LOT. I'M IN SÃO PAULO BRASIL, AND FOR ME THIS IS THE BY FAR THE BEST CONTENT FOR ENTRETAINMENT AND EDUCATION. HOW WONDERFUL!!!
Well I tell you, I am 54 yr old lady who is just tired of living under someone thumb, such as in being a tenant for so long I am certainly ready to go build my own log cabin.
I have ideas and watching these types of videos to get more inspired
I agree about what you said don't let anything give you limitations, I have a bad back, arthritis and I'm doing this all alone. I can do this with no carpentry experience, watch me. I will document it starting next spring
I plan on drilling for my own water as well. I see those well kits
I am looking at how to start tho I need more ideas
Well, I didn't go build myself a log cabin after watching your video, but I did get up off my fat ass and cleaned the house....plus laundry and dishes. Thnx for the inspiration bud.
He didnt make me get off my ass
@@conspiracytheorist5408 Well I for one am very disappointed in you.
Conspiracy Theorist You make conspiracy theorists look bad. Oh wait nvm, that was just a bullshit phrase put out in the 60s to disparage the millions of Americans who questioned and probed the Warren Commision's official narrative of JFK's assassination.
joe pish Good job! But only say good things about your
a*$ ...esteem yourself! 👍🤠
Lolol
Don't know what impressed me the most!! The actual building or the filming/editing. Both are just incredible. Many thanks from Denmark...Have to show this to my Canadian wife..
i was thinking the same thing man haha how can you do both so well
I was thinking great editing too!!
Amazing! Watched and told my relatives and friends to watch. Extremely interesting. And as someone commented below, thank you for not playing music in background.
Nature has everything we need.wood,mud,grass,meat,all of it is useful to us.
THIS KIND OF HOUR VIDEO IS SUPER WORTH TO WATCH!!! THUMBS UP
I'm starting my own 26 year journey now! so inspiring!
Wowww😍 Ontario Canada!! I am from Italy ✌🏽✌🏽
hands down best RUclips video I have seen. unbelievable work and great presentation / video editing. not since watching Alone In The Wilderness have I been so impressed. loss for words.
This video gives me a lot of comfort in my soul.
It's very therapeutic watching other people work. Well done Sir !!
I went to contractor trade school this guy is inspiring me to get with it used on gi bill learned more than what I thought of course doing is different framing itself don't get learned until you frame up several houses residential
And here I thought I was amazing for putting an IKEA dresser together with picture only assembly instructions 😉. You sir, are incredible!!!
The instructions for building a log cabin with hand tools are easier to understand than IKEA cartoon instructions.
Bro, I Can't Even Get My Hand Into A Pringles Can.
I want to do this!! This is my dream!! I know I can do it by myself, because that's what the early pioneers did and it is also shown in this video. I just need to save up some money and learn how to use tools and such. I was telling my brother this is what I want to do in the future, and he laughed and said it was impossible, I couldn't do it by myself. I will prove him wrong.
Literalpervertedloser Yes, I know. But I working out and aiming for a six pack as of now, so I think I can be able to do it😁 I hope I can do it too
No reason you can't do it, go for it!
Plus humans greatest asset with using our minds, nothing wrong with fashioning your own pulley
I could never figure out how a pioneer man by himself could build a log cabin for his family. Amazing ! Norm Abram would be proud.
I’ve watched this way too many times. One of my favorite RUclips videos.
Best cabin building video (hands down).
Northmen is sweet too
Good day sir.
I really like watching your videos. It brings me much happiness, to see the free way one can live in the USA. I live in Brazil, a place with many natural resources, but without dignity, a lot of corruption ...
I like hard work, and watching your videos is very rewarding. I pray God that one day you will take me to your country.
Sorry for any typing errors, I use an automatic translator.
Thanks again. (I.e.
