Growing All of Our Fruit and Vegetables in the Forest: Amazing Transformation in 1 Year
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- Starting with a dense forest in March 2020, I clear 1/4 acre of trees and using native soil, leaves, natural compost and rotten logs, grow a huge amount of food for my family before winter hits in November.
Welcome to our homestead! Join us as we create a resilient, abundant and sustainable ecosystem that feeds our families from the land in Ontario Canada. Using permaculture as our guide, we strive to become independent in water, food, energy and shelter, focused on beauty in form and efficiency in function.
Our Self Reliance is a life of compromise between the women in my family and their preference for culture, comfort and formality, and I, with my love of chaotic and beautiful but challenging and often uncomfortable wilderness living.

I think this is going to be my new favorite channel. On the ground floor of a multifamily set up is exciting.
Greetings from Finland. I find food production and preserving side of self reliance just as interesting as building and hunting/fishing. So I'm really happy to see this new sister channel which (I assume) will show more this side of things. In northernmost Finland some people were practically living self sustainable life still shortly after WW2 and all this is still in living memory. It was a combination of all these skills, even as food production was somewhat marginal due to the high latitude and cold climate.
You sir are a marvel! What an accomplishment. Everything you’ve created, it’s just astounding.
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! It is great to be back to watch you again !!! Knowing what you hath done with this land it gives me great hope & Pride to know I watch a great man doing what he knows best in life !!! This is the way to do growing for our future !!!

Hi, truly amazing what you have achieved through your hard work and dedication. Lovely video. Thankyou.
That has been a lot of work but well worth it. I love the fall colours.
Thanks for sharing Shawn!
So when will Shawn start moving the deer fence out another 30 feet to add some square footage? Those chickens are HUNGRY! 😂
Honestly, 1 channel would be sufficient and a hell of a lot less work. Been following you for years. You keep adding channels and I'll keep subscribing,

Do you grow sunflowers? Pretty much every animal will eat them, including many fish, some variety's yield large amounts of oil and they are self seeding.
Yes

Impressive progress in just one year! I first learned about hügelkultur from you it really helps keep the costs down when filling a garden bed and makes great soil! Have you always used it in your gardening before or was this (2020) the first year you tried it?
👍great video
I remember most of this from when you were building the beds. I thought they did surprisingly well for a first year garden. I really enjoy learning about the how's and why's that your planting this or that. The hard part has always been that you don't tell us what things are. Different fruits and vegetables grow in different regions and planting zones and half of the time I have no idea what you are showing us. It may be that I've only seen a different shape or color but sometimes I have absolutely no idea what it is, what it tastes like. Hopefully you can either say what it is or add a name card to the video during editing.
Dig the new tunes!
Always sad to see beautiful trees falling down!!!
I know, me too! I know it's kind of neccessary sometimes, but it still hurts my heart.
Back in the day, ppl harvested large trees, which increased the production of new tress.
The circle of life...
I'm confused by which property is he working on?
You should do a legit "day in the life" video 4 or 8 times a year during the different seasons.
You covered a lot of ground in 2020 ---- and moved/created a lot of ground too. lol.
Makin' us all look bad Shawn...

During bug season for your chickens to eat bugs you could trap a bunch of bugs and collect them in buckets and they'll be your bug chicken feed? I don't know if that would help save some money on chicken feed. I was telling this other guy about a video I saw about ramming sticks in the ground and hitting them alot to make them vibrate and make worms come out of the ground like that. also making the ground wet while doing that may help them come out. I don't know if it works. I never tried it. I have put a large tarp on the ground though and tacked it flat to the ground on all corners and left it there over night and the next day when I took the tarp up there was all kinds of bugs and worms and snakes under it. That could be helpful.
Solar bug zapper for the chickens!
Love everything this fella does🇨🇦🌺 please clarify what channels there are currently so I can subscribe to them ALL. many thanks
Hi Sandra, I am separating the content to keep everyone happy. My Self Reliance will be building in the forest with minimal talking. This channel will contain my other endeavours such as gardening, cooking, homesteading. Thank you for watching!
Hey! Wish I could find the time and motivation to do something like this. Question, does Russell ever leave comments?
I assume you mean the goofball from the first homestead who harassed the crap out of Shawn and his family?
@@jilbertb No, I think that would have been Glen.
Here’s an idea. Only watch the ones you want and otherwise keep your opinions to yourself about things that cause you no harm
My favorite one of your videos on UTube is your Cabin project. Tha s your calling Shawn. Much luck my Friend.
👍🇸🇪❤️
why I have the impression that I have already seen it?
Probably because you have seen it in portions if you are a follower… he can’t make a new one every year just to produce content…
HELLO:
...les bâtons c'est pour empêcher la terre de glisser?.. ensuite vous faites des tuteurs!
6.00 am kauai time , Good morning Shawn an Calli 🐕 I was wondering if you and wife make your own wine and vinegars ? My favorite and easiest is Strawberry Rhubarb 🍓 😋 we still make alot of fruit herb vinegar's for their health and taste benefits ❤ healthy heart stuff
you need to eat more
what's up with the dislikes?
I have a lot of haters :)
@@OurSelfReliance I do not understand why Shawn. You seem to be living a very righteous lifestyle and helping as much as you can and sharing your journey.
How did your haters find you faster than followers from 6 yrs ago? Proof the YT algorithm is broken ☹
My haters are dedicated!
He just monetized Cali. Lol
She deserves her own channel!
Same as first twelve minutes of this video from 11 days ago. Loved the longer form one you posted - just don’t want to see redundant stuff! ruclips.net/video/u2KY8gsjjDw/видео.htmlsi=x-Ruy2zgOb4Zwl4n
Why don't you go outside and touch some grass, eh?
BRAVOOO JAMES...THAT*S MY MAN ....BIG LIKE 666...mine 😉🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘
Thought you were going Carnivore Shawn?
Older videos showing how he built up the soil…..
The diet label would be “animal based”. Meat, organs, eggs, dairy and fruit.
The hardest thing for a human being is to learn when to keep their mouths shut if they don't have anything relevant to say
Mom used to say:
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all...
I love how you keep starting new RUclips channels. Gotta keep that money garden fresh too 😂😂😂
From Kenya 🇰🇪 .i love this 😎 dude more more more@bizzybee019
