Yea, I don't mind,he's there by himself, he has to entertain, come up with ideas,and humor himself - I like Shawn talking and bouncing his ideas,thoughts off the camera.
It’s also massively helpful for mental health. It’s a solitary life out there. Being able to feel as if you’re having a conversation and engaging with people must be a massive comfort.
A rocket stove is what you need to build. Instead of carrying propane in and out. Thanks for taking us along for most of what you do because comments will help you figure out better ways to accomplish what you want. Love your channel ❤
Shaun, here’s a couple of suggestions for you. Before you sheet the floor of your addition, dig a eight by eight foot hole about six feet deep, line the walls logs with cut on two side to fit tightly together, it will make an excellent root cellar for storing vegetables over winter and also provide you with cool storage for fresh produce. Second one is easy, cut a stick for measuring your post holes, char it in the fire so it will stand out when you need it. Excellent channel, have been watching since first video, and yes, a mill is a necessity! A small hoe would be most versatile as well…..moving/lifting logs, building road/ trails, digging pits/foundations, removing stumps,just an all around game changer, as the saw mill will be! Congrats on your successes so far and a wish to conquer all challenges in the future, if this was easy everybody would do it, you’re the exception remember that when you feel down and want to quit! Best Wishes Mel From Quesnel
Mel. I’m moving into your neck of the woods. Blackwater/Nazko area. Buying acreage and going off grid. Checking out of wokeness, to clear my head. Can’t do woke anymore…
@@westbenchmancave unfortunately it’s not my neck of the woods anymore! Hence the”from” part, LOL! Do you have vehicular access to your property? That’s a big plus when your developing raw land for habitat.
thanks for the good info Mel. I would like to do a root cellar. I'm running out of time before the snow. I was thinking to do it on the next cabin next year, but if I can squeak it in this fall I will
Nice video. I can't help but think how soon Winter will be here and all those wood scraps burned up in the camp fire would be good fire starters in the cabin when it's cold
It should make all the difference in the world once you get that motor repaired AND get a sawmill!! Another great video! Stay safe out there, see ya next week!!
If you char lumber on your camp fire that’s going in the ground it won’t rot as fast. If you decide to build with logs, they make a log peeler attachment for a chainsaw. It can also be used as a rough planer.
I built myself a couple pair of saw horses the same style. Bomb proof !! I just picked up a 122 woodland mill, barge it up river to my off grid house. Game changer.
You kind of get the picture much better knowing that your trailhead is 20km away from the boat launch, that's far, wow, I can see now how remote it is. That's amazing and a pain in the butt lol, the boat is really important.😂👍
Enjoy watching your channel thoroughly and wish you all the best...I was a Carpenter for 30 yrs +/-, and it looks like you've got some skills and are doing a great job framing the new place...My few words of wisdom to you are; Always work safely, especially where you are so remote location, working solo, with help far away!. Make sure you have a above average first aid kit and know its contents and how to use it, if needed for you or someone else. Always work smart not hard. Always let gravity do some of the work whenever possible.
Replaying each video 3x , it’s the least we can all do to help you financially just press play an go to sleep or a nice long drive or let it play while going for a long walk 😂 please use your old phones get em all goin 😂
Looking good buddy, I think it was last week you were talking about making a living on you tube. Also your feelings about folks supporting you. A big part of making a living with you tube. Is multiple revenue streams. Also letting folks support you. You are providing a much appreciated service. For alot of folks. So you need to let them support your channel. Just my 2 cents. Keep it up.
Greetings from your cuz Aa. I know comments boosts algorithm, so here’s mine. You’re an amazing human, & am super impressed by your actions. Wish we lived out there at same time. Would love to visit sometime, but till then, keep up cool work. Love & Respect
My husband is soooo happy to see you building steps down to the river! Every episode he says “why doesnt he make steps?!” Good job. We enjoy watching you!
Edits are improving. Thanks for the consistency Nice part of wood chips in your dish is you don’t have to get up for a toothpick. Winner winner woody dinner.
Ha Ha!! He’s near Prince George BC that is HEART of gold territory the trick isn’t finding gold, it’s finding gold bearing ground that is not already claimed!
And make sure you have a decent, larger fire extinguisher or two around to help quickly put out a small fire if needed before your whole cabin and all your work turns to ashes quickly in an emergency...
Note to self: Get a second bucket, its much easier to carry 2 buckets of stone, water, etc. ! A come-along or winch with extra chain or strong rope makes it easy to move logs.
This is such a great video series/channel! I truly enjoy watching your adventure! As a retired Building Inspector, I approve of your building style. No red tags from me.
I love the way you did your roof, it's something I'm going to look at again if I build again. I also like the pitch, it's going to look amazing with the side additions on the profile. It reminds me of a farmhouse.👍
Good Video man, Thankyou for taking us with you !.......cooking on a fire is a lot more work, but somehow more satisfying.....take care......OnWard.......
I love watching this Thursday’s episode. I love watching you Shawn. So much fun watching a hard working man. Making me wish I was much younger and living a life like yours. God bless and plz stay safe.
Nope,……. I don’t want to follow along with the video. I want to move next-door and we can build stuff together! You’re living my dream sir and I’m a little bit jealous. Stay safe love your channel. Cheers.
Yes another video by the handsome outdoorsman, too bad I’m mature! Love watching you build your home , good luck and people subscribe it’s worth it!👍🇨🇦❤️
Always ramble. It makes the video so much more interesting, as the story you're telling us is all the thoughts going thru your head on how you're gonna make things work.
A bandsaw sawmill could be extremely helpful but the issue may be how to get logs to the sawmill and up onto the mill, for your current situation. A chainsaw mill allows you to go to the biggest of trees and mill up boards that you can move yourself. I’m all about the bandsaw mill because I have a HM126 and it has absolutely changed my life, but I also have the ability to pull my logs with a machine and let gravity load them since I have hills and built the mill lower than the trail. Just food for thought from an experienced off-gridder and mill operator. Love your vids and your story…keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see where it goes!
Hey Shawn. I'm really enjoying everything you are doing. As so many others have said I'm living vicariously through you. I am a long time sufferer with a chronic pain disorder and your videos have helped inspire me to start building. It has helped me no end with lots of aspects in my life. So thank you. Keep going and everything is looking so good at the property. Stay safe. Strength and Honor.
I envy you, Shawn. You are doing what I have wanted all my life...to build a cabin in the middle of the wilderness, enjoy the peace and quiet, the darkness at night and to look at the stars! I love how you end each day by showing them and I know the camera doesn't do the justice. You are a very hard working man and I commend your whole attitude of working things out, good or bad. Your Cabin is really coming together so nicely! When I watch your videos? I'm right there with you. I absolutely LOVE cooking over a campfire! I have a cast iron dutch oven I take camping with me, they are so nice to cook with. Sitting around a campfire at nite, we'll, you can't beat that. When you were going up the path I thought hmmm, stairs would help alot to get up this hill and then just seconds later...you are building them! 😂 It is hard waiting for the next video, but patience prevails. Please don't worry about your ramblings, they are nice to listen to, it's how you work things out and it's perfectly normal. Talk about rambling 😂 I have probably taken up enough of your time, I always end up writing a book for my comments but it's who I am. I wish you the best as always and I will see you on the next video! Please be careful, take care Shawn.
Stunning Video Again! Great content with a couple of humorous commentaries. You need to put down those bears, they are going to make an incursion when you least expect it and do damage!
Brother get that trail and bridge done! A snow mobile and that ATV can be great work horses for you. Get a little trailer for the ATV. I’m sure in the fall you might be able to get that ATV back and forth across the river. Keep up the hard work it’s paying off!
I've just found this channel and I'm binging it even though I've got a Drs appointment in 3 hours.Called living dangerously.Cheering you on in your land of forests and lakes from the big dry land of Australia.
Depending on what hunting seasons are in your area you could really cut your grocery bill. In your pictures you had deer, elk, moose and bears. A deer or a cow elk or calf moose shouldnt be to much for one man. Plus you could share with those who have helped you. For preserving, canning and smoking would work for you or an Elevated cash like Dick Proenneke had at hisTwin lakes cabin in Alaska? Any of these methodd aren't hard or expensive to get into! Winter is just around the corner. If your gona spend winter at your cabin i'd start dedicating some time for making wood! Its not much fun making wood when the snow is deep! Just my opinion! Your channel is my favourite and i look forward to following your adventure!!!
Hello buddy. So happy you’re making this happen. Do yourself a favor cut down those trees close to your cabin! In a storm you will be glad you did. Just saying. You’re doing an awesome job.
Thanks Shawn, totally understand the convenience of the propane. You'll be going into town regularly until you have a mill and food stores. With two tanks you'll never be down and can wait until the next trip (like two gas tanks, chains/bars per saw etc.) If you get that trail ready you can use a sled on the ATV/snowmobile year round.
I really love your channel! You're so authentic man iv'e never come accross a channel like it. I wish so much you succeed with your goals and keep sharing this amazing content! Greetings from germany :)
Nice to see you this week Shawn. You’ve got mad building skills my friend. Enjoy the rambling it gives us a view inside your head and your thoughts. Stay safe and good luck on next week’s progress.
Another enjoyable video. The rambling is fine... because you really don' go on and on... you just keep us up on what you are thinking... and that is nice. I hope the outboard engine repair is successful and affordable. Thanks for sharing with us and good luck.
Thanks for another great real video. I wish you had a “neighbor “ who could bring your lumber and supplies to you in exchange for labor or $$ . I could watch your videos every day.
Best time of the week is a Cabin River Outdoors video drop.
Keep it up brother.
for sure!
Totaly agree
I agree!
Amen brother, I been thinking about it for 2 days.
Outdoor Boys have a run for their money with Cabin River Outdoors. Before you know it 1m subscribers!
Please keep rambling, it's a great way of letting us know about your ideas and feeling on what you're doing. 👍
Yea, I don't mind,he's there by himself, he has to entertain, come up with ideas,and humor himself - I like Shawn talking and bouncing his ideas,thoughts off the camera.
@@captrockh2055me tooooo🎉😊
Ramble On!
It’s also massively helpful for mental health. It’s a solitary life out there. Being able to feel as if you’re having a conversation and engaging with people must be a massive comfort.
There's other people around him in the area. It takes a community to live rough like that and flourish
Best channel on you tube, spread the word😊😊
The pleasure of watching a hardy man building his house in the awesome wilderness against all odds!🤩
No background music, love to hear saw, hammer, thing's running. Enjoyable.
Morning Shawn just a comment to help your algorithm. Stay strong
A rocket stove is what you need to build. Instead of carrying propane in and out. Thanks for taking us along for most of what you do because comments will help you figure out better ways to accomplish what you want. Love your channel ❤
Yes, to rocket stove and may be good to build rocket mass heater too eh. Hopefully he sees these comments.
Good idea
Great idea! And can wrap copper tubing around the chimney and have a wood hot water heater as well.
Enjoy your videos. I tie trout/salmon grocery getters. Is there away I can send them to a post office box
Love your channel. As a Norwegian I am glad to see you now have some base layers in merino wool now. It's the best!
Shaun, here’s a couple of suggestions for you. Before you sheet the floor of your addition, dig a eight by eight foot hole about six feet deep, line the walls logs with cut on two side to fit tightly together, it will make an excellent root cellar for storing vegetables over winter and also provide you with cool storage for fresh produce. Second one is easy, cut a stick for measuring your post holes, char it in the fire so it will stand out when you need it. Excellent channel, have been watching since first video, and yes, a mill is a necessity! A small hoe would be most versatile as well…..moving/lifting logs, building road/ trails, digging pits/foundations, removing stumps,just an all around game changer, as the saw mill will be! Congrats on your successes so far and a wish to conquer all challenges in the future, if this was easy everybody would do it, you’re the exception remember that when you feel down and want to quit!

Mel. I’m moving into your neck of the woods. Blackwater/Nazko area. Buying acreage and going off grid. Checking out of wokeness, to clear my head. Can’t do woke anymore…
@@westbenchmancave unfortunately it’s not my neck of the woods anymore! Hence the”from” part, LOL! Do you have vehicular access to your property? That’s a big plus when your developing raw land for habitat.

Here's a YES vote for the sawmill. Thanks Shawn.
Love Thursdays ❤️ everything stops for the duration of the video. Thanks Shawn!
put wind chimes around your property to make a sound perimeter that will keep the bears away
really?
Nice video. I can't help but think how soon Winter will be here and all those wood scraps burned up in the camp fire would be good fire starters in the cabin when it's cold
Ensure you go back for that rock in the river, looks really beautiful for a fireplace!
It should make all the difference in the world once you get that motor repaired AND get a sawmill!! Another great video! Stay safe out there, see ya next week!!

Can't wait to see this finished. Not much longer. I'm also looking forward to seeing that trail completed, it will make that hike so much easier.
You kind of get the picture much better knowing that your trailhead is 20km away from the boat launch, that's far, wow, I can see now how remote it is. That's amazing and a pain in the butt lol, the boat is really important.😂👍
That’s Cabin is looking so good 😊
Your living a lot of people's dream. Stay strong and be safe my friend.
You have achieved quite a lot in this episode Shawn .. those rafters fell into place perfectly, you sure cook the perfect eggs 🍳🎣🐟 see you next week ❤

I was literally just thinking I wonder if Shawn is putting out a video today. I can't believe it was at that moment. Just made it a good morning.

Yes Shawn has a patreon account...in the description !

My husband is soooo happy to see you building steps down to the river! Every episode he says “why doesnt he make steps?!”
Good job. We enjoy watching you!
When my world falls apart, watching you makes it all better. Keep living your dreams
❤😊 The best channel on RUclips ❤😊
Yeah, we make them TOP notch here in Norway
Edits are improving. Thanks for the consistency
Nice part of wood chips in your dish is you don’t have to get up for a toothpick. Winner winner woody dinner.
Love the new steps 😀
It looks like quarts, the stone that you normally find where there's gold...so keep your eyes open, you never know. 👍
Ha Ha!! He’s near Prince George BC that is HEART of gold territory the trick isn’t finding gold, it’s finding gold bearing ground that is not already claimed!
Quarts is a measure of liquid volume.
Quartz is often found with gold.
Gorgeous looking Fly Fishing Streams throughout your travels back, WOW ...
Hello Shawn hey everyone hit the thumbs up button please it the channel
And make sure you have a decent, larger fire extinguisher or two around to help quickly put out a small fire if needed before your whole cabin and all your work turns to ashes quickly in an emergency...
Great show Shawn!!!!! See you next week.
Note to self:
Get a second bucket, its much easier to carry 2 buckets of stone, water, etc. ! A come-along or winch with extra chain or strong rope makes it easy to move logs.
Some people call in the fishing pole, I call it a catching stick. 😉
Great job !!!
Good job dude ! Another week in the books ! Mattawa proud!
Seems to be quartz there😊❤😊

It’s hard to believe how “low” the river is now. You got a lot done this week. I hope your boat motor comes back fast and under budget
I love watching this Thursday’s episode. I love watching you Shawn. So much fun watching a hard working man. Making me wish I was much younger and living a life like yours. God bless and plz stay safe.
coming home from a week off grid in northern ontario and coming home to a new video was just what I needed to ease me back into normal life!
Yes best day of the week
Eager for the next video.
Nice to see both clothing and fishing gear from Norway being noticed 😄👍 Hi from Norway! 🇳🇴😊
So inspirational. One step forward however steep the climb. Hoping that you get dried in before the cold and you have enough wood.
Keep rambling Brother , it keeps me sane ! Thankyou sir .😊
High Carb to power that builder, You do amazing work. !
Nope,……. I don’t want to follow along with the video. I want to move next-door and we can build stuff together! You’re living my dream sir and I’m a little bit jealous. Stay safe love your channel. Cheers.
Night crawler hunting time! The fishing will thank you!
Yes another video by the handsome outdoorsman, too bad I’m mature! Love watching you build your home , good luck and people subscribe it’s worth it!👍🇨🇦❤️

Exceptional video Shaun. Love the ramblings, great fun. Much respect for the life you've chosen & the work your doing out there. Stay safe.
And Norway loves you 👍😉 Mustad are infact (or was?) world leading in fish-hooks. History back to 1832.
Watching now, going to sit and watch again later. Hugs Shawn! Your doing great and I second the rocket stove.
Good late evening Shawn, my friend. I’ve been watching some of your episodes. I never get sick of them lol.
Keep pumping out this legendary content. Property is money. Definitely need your boat back up and going

Always a pleasure to watch another video. Have a good week.
Beautiful landscapes the Great Outdoors is life! 🙌

Another great addition to the channel. I like the game camera shots being added in.
Hello buddy. So happy you’re making this happen. Do yourself a favor cut down those trees close to your cabin! In a storm you will be glad you did. Just saying. You’re doing an awesome job.

Try fishing off the island on your property, fish the fast water side in the pools and back eddys. That’s usually where you’ll find the trout.
I really love your channel! You're so authentic man iv'e never come accross a channel like it. I wish so much you succeed with your goals and keep sharing this amazing content! Greetings from germany :)
Lookin good. 💪🏻
The water that runs Through your property is so clear.
Letsgo mate everybody share!
Thank you for another great video. Love your amazing adventure. Wales, UK 🏴
Appreciate the chat, keep it up, much better than silence!!!
... Yeah ! ... " it's AWESOME !!! ...
Buy a woodland mills if your looking at them. Best hobby mill out there
