    Never would I have thought that I could be so interested in watching a guy build a log cabin from the beginning...and enjoy every minute of it! I learn something new each time! Thank you Shawn. Plus, it's gets my mind off of all the crazy things happening in the world today...what a wonderful, peaceful relief.

    I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and all the best for the coming year, but above all health and a peaceful life in today's crazy world.

    I also live in an area where we coexist with wolves. Often hear them howling, and see their footprints in the snow when out deer and partridge hunting.
    Yesterday saw a flock of ravens in the middle if a nearby farm field, stopped the old pickup, trudged through 18" of fresh snow for a half km, and yup, just as expected came across a fresh from the night before wolf kill of a small deer. All that was left was the hide, the hind legs and the rib cage. The wolves, ravens and eagles have to eat as well.

      @@MySelfReliance Hi Shawn, sorry to hear you are sick here is some good info for you to look up with regards to parasites & gut issues on you tube channels:
      1) Candida Eric Bakker Naturopath (he is a gut expert his vids are excellent) look up his vids on parasites, Sibo, H Pylori, raw fremented veggies, raw sauerkraut, rebuild immune systme after being sick, kefir drink
      2) Dr Berg watch his vids on: parasites, candida, raw sauerkraut (fremented veggies) to rebuild your gut good bacteria flora, Activated charcoal and Braggs Mothers apple cider vinegar (these two work wonders for any kind of sickness from food poisoing to parasties. Just add 1 or two tablespoons of "mothers" apple cider vinegar (must be mothers which you can by at any grocery store in the vinegar section $6) with 8-12 onces of water drink a few times a day before or after meal. mother's apple cider vinegar has a ton of health benifits too. My family member got food poisoing threw up all night in the morning they drink apple cider vinegar/water & one activated charoal and that cured them. But, you might want to keep drinking mothers apple cider vinegar for a few weeks to make sure that your stomach PH stays in a health range with this so that it helps to kill off parasties and you can still continue to take activated charcoal which not only helps with parasties but also heavy metal detox.
      3) Dr Group parasites, candida, h pylori, activated charcoal, mothers apple cider vinegar, parasites (Dr Group believes 90% of USA citizens have parasites the same world wide.
      4) Dr Axe parasites, watch is vids on activated charcoal (buy at a health food store, grocery store some walmarts etc have this in your medicine cabinet. Hospitals use this for toxicn poison, food poisoing etc $5)
      5) Dr Hilda clark she was a parasite expert (she has written book on paraistes - good to add to your library) watch her vids
      6) Brenda watson road to perfect heatlh (watch her vids on candida, parasites cleanse etc) she also has a good gut book
      7) You can buy RAW sauerkraut at a health food store $5-$6 (meaning NOT cooked/pasterized which kils the good bacteria). Or make your own see yt ch ⭐Mary's Nest vids on making raw fremented veggies including sauerkraut with ONLY Salt, Water, cabbage/veggies. All her vids are excellent she has great vids on home made cottage cheese/cheeses etc.
      You will want to do a parastie cleanse for at least 90 days. Also, your wife, Cali should also do a parasite cleanse since you are sick. With working in the garden, drinking stream water and having Cali you can easily pick up all kinds of parasties and pass them on to you & your wife see Dr HIlda Clark yt vids.
      Also watch Dr Mindy Pelz yt vids (she is a fasting expert) on fasting including water fasting and dry fasting. You can do several days of dry fasting or just do dry fasting from sun up to sun down and eat prior to sun up and after sun down (this is what the Muslims do during thier holiday Ramadan. they also dry fast thru out the year 2 times a week and every month on the 13, 14, 15. This will help you to kill off parasites and also heal your body. it's quite easy to do a dry fast your body makes water. But, in the summer this might not be a good idea since you work outside so much so you can try a water fast if you are interested.
      It's best to start a parasite cleanse on a New Moon (look this up) and also to rotate your cleanse say 10 days on parasite Rx then 5 days off then on again and off for 90 days to kill all the eggs that hatch. Most herbs/rx meds for parsites do not kill the eggs so this is why it takes 90 days or more to complete a parasite cleanse.
      You, your wife, cali, your family should do a parastie cleanse at least twice a year (everyone should)
      It's good that you are listening to your body shawn aka your body check engine light is on telling you to slow down & get healthy again.
      Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care. ☘🌷

    Yup, like I wrote earlier in your internal ceiling post on your other channel, you and Cali have been zoned in on by a full Canadian Wolf pack, and you are under constant surveillance by them ! They are magnificently patient and determined hunters, and they won't stop until you stop them Shawn. These animals do represent a real danger (Even more than a local black bear or two) in the sense the wolf pack is far more aggressive and determined to get what you have to offer (Food) than the bears are. Cali can both smell and hear them just beyond the end of your open field in the thick wood watching. The watchers howl to communicate with the pack to surround your place. This is how you know they are about to make their appearance; When you hear them howl from more than one, or multiple directions, then grab your weapon (s) and be ready. Until then, keep your powder dry.

    The cabin looks great, that was the meanest bark I ever heard from Cali, at the start with the wolves howling. Now that the ceiling is done, the siding and trim seems like a cake walk, I am not understanding the one nail in the center of each board, won`t they warp, or did you go back and nail the top and bottom? We are usually in a room of the cabin, but when you back up and show us the cabin at a distance, it is just beautiful, even at night all lit up, it looks fantastic. Quite an achievement to say the least, well done sir.

    Hope Cali will stay safe. That sounded like many, many wolves...maybe a big pack. I am praying for Shawn and Cali to stay safe out there in the Canadian wilderness. iJN Amen.

    It's mindblowing to see what you've accomplished within a year-ish time at this new location. Still remember the days when you're digging that massive hole for the basement/foundation by hand. Feels like yesterday. Total admiration to you 🙏 Stay safe. Extra love to Cali 🤍

    Juste wanted to know, if you put some plastic before putting the wood planks wouldn’t humidity get behind and when time goes by build some molds there underneath? Or how can you prevent the molding to come with the plastic retaining humidity?

    I assume you fired off a deterent shot with the 20 gauge to keep the wolves at bay.. you need to get your Ham radio licence and talk around the world in the cold winter evenings.. K2RUS

    @hanneken4026 Год назад +10

    I'm glad you got the breezeway finished, so Cali can sleep in there, safe from the wolves, without getting too hot and wanting to stay out, as she did in the old cabin.
    Here in the Netherlands they are trying to get some wolves to settle as part of improving nature. There had been none left here for a long time, though occasionally a single one would wander in from Germany. Now in the few largish nature reserves we have there are a few dens, and adolescents as well as lone German wolves are moving into more farmed areas. I thought wolves would prefer to keep their distance from humans, but there have been sightings of wolves moving around the fields near some woods, behind the barn, pretty close - as near as they were to your cabin. Farmers have reported a lot more kills than they could eat, like 6 sheep killed and more wounded in one night, in one field behind the barn close to the farmhouse, and a girl's pony killed in the field beside the stable, also close to their farmhouse, and those farm kids are told not to play behind the barn even in daylight.
    Is it just that those young wolves don't know any better? And how do they learn to keep their distance, when they aren't hunted and even shooting at them with a paintball gun is forbidden?
    I don't want them to be hunted, and I think all the farmers near nature reserves should get support to get better fences that will not only keep sheep, cows and ponies in but will keep wolves out.
    But if they trot through the fields in daylight, take large animals from fields right next to farmhouses, and aren't wary/afraid of humans, I do worry that they will pose a danger to children playing outside or biking about on their own, as they do here, or even to dog-walking adults.
    The mass sheep kills really were wolf kills, we don't have stray dogs here (all caught, chipped and taken to a shelter and adopted), and the dead sheep were checked to make sure it wasn't done by someone's dogs.

      Modern narratives convince people that we should leave animals to live “natural” lives (not hunted by humans) ignoring the fact that we’ve evolved together for millennia together, us the dominant predator, and that it’s not a good idea to train animals not to fear us.

    Unfortunately I live kinda in the city with more of a country atmosphere. I have every dog in the neighborhood howling every morning and every time a fire truck, ambulance or police car zooms by. It’s not beautiful haha. No just kidding it makes me homesick for Alaska. I just love watching you and Cali. Threw nothing better than fresh air the scent of pine with your best buddy by your side..

    Hi Shawn. I just saw a video with a lot on inserts of you dog view it was you no doubt. It's called Animal Afflictions. Title This man gets eaten alive after using bear spray. ( Animals gone wrong) I can't imagine this is legal. I wouldn't want me my dog and home put in someone else's video. If I was subscribed to your channel I wouldn't of known it wasn't you that was attacked. Please go check it out. Hope you read this

    This is my favorite channel now. I love watching Shawn build his cabin, playing with Cali, and the beautiful scenery. Shawn is a Real Manly Man! Skills that most men don't have any longer. I'm 71, still working full time for a technical college in Wichita Kansas. I work from home now which is a Blessing. Was married for 8 years to a horrible man. been divorced almost 42 years and still single. Shawn's wife is a very blessed woman.

    This is becoming absolutely stunning. What a beautiful place with so much love put into it..and Cali just enjoying life away from the smog and crappy kibble foods. What a wonderful life...lots of hard work but its all worth it when you lay your head down at night and admire your creation you built snuggled up with your dog.... Now with that said...those wolves and bears make me really nervous..moreso for Cali. Wolves are clever and will prey on you if they have the opportunity. Really scary. Stay locked and loaded and one eye on your furbaby.
