Scouting a New Location For My Outpost Cabin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2024
- Cali, my golden retriever, and I travel by snowmobile and by snowshoe to a new location to scout for game and a site for my outpost cabin in the Canadian wilderness. I explain why I need a remote hunt camp in addition to the land that the log cabin sites on and why there is more fish and game in the this forest. I start a campfire and reheat the beef shank and venison loin that I cooked on the wood stove a couple of nights before. My dog eats alongside me, finishing off the meat and fat left over from making bone broth. Around the fire, I talk about the titanium cookware that I'm using from Heavy Cover and I announce a giveaway that I'm doing - a Heavy Cover titanium canteen set, including a canteen with two lids, a cooking pot with lid and a spork (a spoon and fork combination tool). To qualify for the giveaway, please comment "Heavy Cover", hit the thumbs up and subscribe to the channel. This is not something I've ever done, so please bear with me as I figure out how to give this lightweight cooking set away.

Anyone else here just watching Cali roll in the snow??? She is so Happy.
Although she is missing her black booties, frankly not really interested in Heavy Cover.
Heavy cover wow
I am pretty sure I would keep her warm with plenty of hugs.
I guess I should also mention Heavy Cover.
:)
Cali is such a puppy! -25 I’m going on a day hike tomorrow because of this vid... thanks for the bloopers it’s the reality of what you go through to give us a story to enjoy thanks!
I hesitated for a long while before finally writing: Heavy Cover.
Why hesitate? Well I’ve been following your channel for a long time and in my humble opinion, it is the best that I’ve found on RUclips so far. Remember when you first told about the property you acquired and your thoughts about building this cabin. Even my kids ( 9 & 10 years old ) love watching your videos, so thanks to you my son and I are doing outdoors life and planning on buy some land of our own within a few years.
Nevertheless, I hesitated due to the fact that I don’t want to be greedy. However this kit would make my son very happy, because I will give it to him to use on our time in the woods.

Heavy cover. From tropical far North Queensland, Australia, awaiting a cyclone, and enjoying watching you, each time, in the snow. How beautiful our world can be. Thank YOU, Shawn.
good to hear you have more land now in a good location' for self reliance'' enjoy the journey' blessings to you and your family Shawn.
Heavy cover. Shawn, I watch all your videos. Makes me anxious to be in the woods.
Half of Cali's beauty is her personality. 😁
Cutest dog on the internet. IMHO
Have you ever watched Girl in the Woods or Bushradical? They have a really sweet collie, Mazie. That is worth a look see.
After you build the Outpost can you build some apartments? I need to get the hell out of here...........
😂😂😂 DarkEngine I hear you.
It would be awesome if Shawn had a guest house. People would pay a huge premium to go for a few days and experience Shawn's world
I know that's the truth...😂
DarkEngine that is the funniest thing I read in the comments so far. But I hear you! It really did put a smile on my face and caused a chuckle. Thank you ☺️ I am waiting to see what’s for lunch.
:))))
Thanks for another great vid showcasing Canada's backcountry. I'm not a huge winter fan but can't argue with its stunning beauty and with the right gear & prep, anything's tolerable.
Heavy cover.
Both me and my wife love to watch your videos, but we always make sure to have lots of good food on the table before starting a video, because our mouths always water when you cook your meals. :)
Like the blooper....fun to hear your spontaneous laugh. Looks like Cali also had a blast! :)
So anxious for your adventures this coming year and very thankful Shawn, that you “share” so much with us all!
Happy travels buddy throughout all of the “Heavy Cover” you are so blessed with. Thanks 🙏🏼 and keep them coming!
My 5 year old brother and I love watching your videos. He always asks to watch "building videos" and your channel is a go to! Thanks!
sure glad to see your going out scouting on your new back yard ! thanks for taking us with you ! cant wait to see more . take care and stay safe
Awww Cali is having so much fun! love her, that is a beautiful forest love your videos Shawn and love watching you cook.
And I'm sure Cali is thinking my dad is so smart!
Watching your videos, it's very easy to overlook the amount of work that you must be putting into setting up all the different shots that make up each of your videos. All that extra activity setting up camera positions has to use up a significant amount of your time. The end results however are a joy to watch - your videos are technically very professional as well as being delightfully creative.
Heavy Cover. Your videos always take me back 60 years to resort/camping in Red Lake with my parents. Thank you.
Good Sunday afternoon Shawn and Cali! Cali is having so much fun bathing in the snow! A suggestion, please do consider any building structure to be not too low (flooding) or not too high (lightening).
Cali sure stole the show in the background this video! Thanks for another great video.
Great video. Cali sure looks like she's having fun. I've never seen a dog roll in the snow with such enthusiasm lol. :)
🌨❄Cali rolling in the snow is just the best thing ever!!! Reminds me of fun childhood memories playing in winter's first snow every year☺❄🌨
Sounds like you have a whole buttload of stuff planned. Try not to burn yourself out. Also, maybe for the hunting camp you can get some help building it. Whenever the guys , joe and doug, come up put them to work. You've built your main cabin, outdoor kitchen, sauna, outhouse, and soon to be toolshed all by yourself. No harm asking for help with the new camp. Remember, theres a big difference between being self reliant and being stubborn. 😉😊
Agreed...promise those guys an exciting dinner and weekend...then spring it on them! We are building a hunt camp! Actually I love watching their channels as well...a great combo of people.
HEAVY COVER!! Stay safe and warm..........love watching you and Cali! Beautiful home and awesome videos!!
your videos are a great way to unwind and look at life.
Heavy Cover
I wish I could experience 5 minutes of the happiness that that dog experiences all day, every day. Live like a dog, indeed.
Heavy Cover. Reminds me of Mark Knopfler when he says Heavy Fuel. I’ve been enjoying your posts for quite some time now. You have a very easygoing flow along with extremely professional shot layouts and editing. These make for immensely satisfying, educational, and interesting/fun posts to watch. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and contributions to us all.
Heavy Cover: I laughed a little when I saw your pot and canteen. I thought you took them from Joe because he lives out his canteen and pot and you see them in nearly every backpacking video. I've never seen the pan however, seeing as he usually always rehydrates his meals I can see why he really only uses his Heavy Cover gear to boil.
I can't wait to see what kind of new projects you'll have planned for your new property and for the workshop you're planning to build. Watching you create is just the best.
hello, i will be watching your inspirational videos while rehabbing in hospital after my spine surgery, keep em comin, ty 👊
william lobur good luck with your recovery, Shawn’s videos and philosophy on life can only help 😊
Speedy recovery friend.
Get well soon William🙏🏻
believe in your health, picture yourself moving around, it helps. get well, oida :)
I just had two spine surgeries a month apart. You'll greatly enjoy Shawn's video's. Hope you have a successful recovery.
Heavy cover. Thanks for all you do and inviting us all into your little slice of heaven. Gives me something to strive for.
Funny how one year later this was actually a scouting mission for a place for your new cabin lol
Cali was upstaging you in the back ground, she sure was having fun.
Heavy cover!
Heavy cover!!
Heavy cover
Am I the only one that thinks about how many times he walks past a camera for an awesome shot and then has to come back for the camera 😂
Gotta love the pragmatic information in Shawn's videos. It is always legit, everything presented so you can judge for yourself, never any BS. And a nice balance between bushcraft style and common sense. English isn't my primary language, so I'm sorry if I messed up. You all will get my point I guess. Great video!
I love when Cali makes doggy snow angels ...she's so funny & cute😀💕🐶
Boy the first half of this video your camera settings were so good it was 3D perfection...wow! Beautiful beautiful property and trees now I understand the snowmobile purchase you’ll need an atv for the summer lol. Omg as much as you enjoy this lifestyle Cali has you beat with all her running around happy dog. Great purchase enjoy!
your videos are so sweet. my uncle did the same thing as you are doing rn except he didn’t document it. i’m currently documenting a bushcraft house though not quick as cool as you are 😂 love the vids!
Heavy cover. And I believe "purging" is also what is experienced when sharing spontaneous (or loosely held) thoughts. It helps me when I verbalize them while working in my wood shop or doing yard work. Thanks again Shawn!
HEAVY COVER! 'Cause I loves your channel. How about a giveaway to some of us who never would/could do what you do... to come and spend a weekend?
You achieve consistently interesting, thought provoking and well shot content, it's great. All the very best for 2019. Heavy Cover
Has to be done to tell the story.
Probably the most annoying part of doing my videos is constantly adjusting my tri-pod. Bet you feel the same, LOL. Also, love that Heavy Cover!
Also, love the blooper reel!
heavy cover, thanks...new area will keep you busy for a while , good for you...god bless...doug
Heavy cover: was just gunna comment this minimum. But regardless of the give away. First time I’ve commented, your videos are an absolute inspiration. I’ve gotten so carried away with work I forget about the amazing world around me. Thank you for the consistent reminder.
Heavy Cover! Haven't seen titanium cookware yet. Guess im behind the times. Im still using old US military surplus from Vitnam. Im in South Central Alaska. Near Dicks place in the Alaska range.
Heavy cover
Thank you for all you do, Shawn!
I hope you’re not going to get rid of all your cameras when downsizing 😉. Greetings from London
Heavy cover. Thanks for the countless hours of relaxation from your videos.
Hello Shawn, thank you for sharing another beautifully filmed video. You are really quite the 'Renaissance man', a man for all four seasons. Always take care out there and have fun. You are working too hard. Oh, by the way
"Heavy cover". 🤗
I been subscribed after you started the cabin. Thumbs up always.
Mason jars can be used in place of Tupperware, but it's heavy...I know from experience...
I sure do enjoy your letting us share your life. I, like you, have also been adding to my outdoor collection of gear and admire those Heavy Cover items a lot. Keep the posts coming they are great!
The bloopers at the end add some good lighter moments. Would be good to have similar in future videos. Keep up the great work!
HEAVY COVER,I always thumbs up because i love what you are doing and wish i could.
I didn’t know snow angels were golden😂😂😂
havy cover
I really enjoyed your quinze (I spelled that wrong) story on your site. Gave a lot of perspective. I know exactly what you're talking about. I grew up, basically draw a straight south line from thunder Bay, in your conditions. I'm in NC now and watching your vids, I can smell the air in the winter vids. I miss the winter stuff a person can do. Thanks for all your sharing. I appreciate it.
Heavy Cover brother! Still find it hard to believe you have this many views and so little subscribers. Kinda pisses me off that so many watch but do not support. Been with ya for a long tie and a long time more to come!
?? Almost 700,000 subscribers in a relatively short time. The channel started to really take off with the cabin build. He is doing great and will be at 1,000,000 within a few months.
Many subscribers and so few views...I don't get it either?
Ppl are sharing his videos but maybe some arent subscribing?? I dont know but I love this guy and the inspiration that he brings!!
10,000 views and 692, 000 subscribers, he should have Lots more views.
Some people watch on smart televisions which aren’t very maneuverable for liking and subscribing.
Heavy cover Great video as always. Laughed at you apologizing for tupperware. Using modern tools and things so not using tupperware would be crazy. Hard to beat it either way. If you want it rustic find some gold colored tupperware from the 50's in eBay :)
Lol,or in my mothers pantry
Heavy cover. Great video. Wish you the best. Stay safe
Hey Shawn... Heavy Cover.... did you buy some more land or are you looking to build on crown land
I was wondering the same thing
He is obtaining more land. He has an explaination on his other channel
@@aaronmaine7954 ah yes I forgot about that. I have watched almost every episode on both of his channels and sometimes things slip through the cracks. Thanks for your reply and feel free to check out my new channel. Sub support would be appreciated.
I’m amazed that you lift those HEAVY logs by yourself and were smart enough to put a COVER over the logs to keep them from freezing in!
Heavy cover 👍
..Heavy Cover, dang, that pup sure is having a good time..
I like Cali making snow angels
yokom zare: My thoughts exactly.
We call it a snow bath here in NW Ontario! 😊
Oh my Mr James you are the height of the internet and a sight for sore eyes. Please keep going, love you and Cali 😍
Heavy cover 💪
nice video you cooking houside cool from lorraine
Really enjoy watching both your channels Shawn, thank you. Big storm here in west central manitoba right now and can hardly wait to get up to the cabin when the roads get cleared.
Heavy Cover
watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow
*Frank Zappa*
Well right about that time people.. a fur trapper who was strictly from commercial... ✌
What about the brown snow?
dont eat the yellow snow
Hey I just wanted to say thank you I look forward to these vids every week. They help me relax and to remember that my goals are worth the work.

Heavy Cover! Been subscribed to your channel since the beginning Shawn. I real admire your honsety and authenticity with everything that you do and the inspiration you continue to impart on your audience. I'm very thankful that you're sharing your journey with us. Best regards from Toronto.
Hello Shawn! I’ve decided to start from day one and watch every one of your episodes in chronological order and have truly enjoyed doing so. I loved you trying out the bloopers add on this episode! That’s hilarious!
Great video Shawn, thanks for taking us along to see some of your new ground. Looks like a great area as well. Thanks
Cali....cover!!! more and more i watch your vids..i truly think she is living the dream..as always thumbs up,,thank you
You have me watching proenneke videos now too. I watched your video when you got to go there, and then watched one of the videos about his life, his photos, videos, and him building his cabin. Absolutely amazing. I just am mesmerized at the scenery the beauty. Alaska has been on my bucket list for as long as I remember....these types of videos remind me why
(Heavy cover). Your videos are not only therapeutic but inspirational as well. I am very envious , wish i had your life. Looking forward to seeing you get the sauna finished and getting the new outpost cabin started.
Just living vicariously through you at this point. Hopefully, the future includes more actual outdoors time than I can enjoy today!
love your video's.. it reminds me so much of my childhood and my desire to return to the "simple and peaceful" lifestyle.
I appreciate the conversion to Fahrenheit, miles, inched etc. 😊
Love this life of yours. Greatly appreciate your reflective moments throughout your series and on Sean James. Heavy Cover!
Heavy Cover I look forward to every video. The time and effort you put into them is obvious and very much appreciated not only for their content but also for high quality production. The only drawback to your videos for me is the excruciating crunch of your boots on/in the frozen snow. The sound goes through me like the proverbial "finger nails on a blackboard" from back in the day! But no matter, there is always the mute function which I have found to be conveniently placed on this computer. Thanks again, Shawn. All the best to you and Cali!
Heavy Cover - nice video as always! Please keep doing what you’re doing-you are an inspiration to many! Thanks for providing quality content that is peaceful to watch, inspiring, and educational!
Heavy Cover. MY dad would love this set. He is always out in the wilderness, especially in the winter and would love it.
Congrats in your increased freedom. Thank you
I very much enjoy what you're doing it has inspired me to get back into nature and reacquaint myself with the Simplicity of life.
Heavy Cover. We both enjoy watching your videos. You keep it interesting by the variety of different things you get up too.
Just kicking off my usual Sunday morning. With some hot coffee and a fresh My Self Reliance video to get things rolling. Of course I'll add Heavy Cover to my message here. But I'm long overdue on a heartfelt thank you for this series and everything you're doing.
Enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
Shawn have been been binge watching the last 3 days, You are an amazing inspiration thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Heavy Cover ,thank you for teaching us
I know the sauna and cabin are your primary focus right now but it's good to see you getting out i really enjoy your trip videos.
Heavy Cover, congratulations on the acquisition of the new land.
Cali making snow angels=priceless! I enjoyed the bloopers too! See you on the next one...
Thanks a lot Shawn we support you from south Africa.
I love your channel Sean, there are so many aspects of it that I find very inspiring and refreshing. I look forward to seeing what more you come up with this year!
Heavy Cover. Thanks Shawn. Excited for this year.
Heavy Cover. You make my Sundays. I love watching all your videos. And I wish I was there doing the same thing you are
. Cheers
I cast your videos to my TV. They give me a feeling of tranquility I can't get anywhere else. Keep up the good work. Guess at this point, I'll put in my bid for Heavy Cover. I wish you, your wife and Cali the best. Great endeavor you are on.
Best,
primalman
Shawn, pre-coating your cookware (and yes, even the canteen) with a high smoke point oil will help. Avocado oil has a 500 degree F smoke point and has an extremely long shelf life (you can use it inside your water containers and not worry about anything going rancid for a loooooooong time)
I look forward to watching you explore and discover your property. The geography, landscape, flora and fauna. Sounds exciting! (loved the blooper reel :) )
Very cool Shawn! It looks like you've got lots of choices for your new property as to where to set up a base camp. I'm interested to see a Shawn James version of a woodland camp. You set the bar pretty high with the homestead. I went and broke the bank and bought the same Canteen Mess Kit from Keith Titanium this past spring. I love it! Titanium has antimicrobial properties which inhibits bacteria growth, so when it's "empty" if there's a little moisture left inside you dont have to worry about it. One of the kits many virtues. An addition I made to the kit is a nesting stainless steel canteen cup stove. They have them on Amazon, or I found the same at the Pathfinders School site from Dave Canterbury for about 16$ including shipping. Nice little twig stove. Jam it into some coals and your ready to go. Nests very well with the titanium mess kit, and makes a great lightweight complete cook system. Thanks for a another wonderful episode of the Shawn James Show!
Heavy Cover. Thanks so much, Shawn!
