With an axe and other hand tools, I bushcraft a wooden door handle for the rustic door on the off grid log cabin that is my sauna, bathhouse in the forest. For dinner, I make pizza from scratch and bake it on my DIY earthen pizza oven that I built last year from sand and clay.
It's late spring and I finally hack out a clearing in the forest to grow fruit and vegetables, the next step in my long path to self reliance.

shawn, i luv watching your films. and i call them films as i think you are an amazing director and filmographer (yes, new word). there is something so powerful and peaceful about watching your silent filming. it is really a gift that you give us to watch something we seem to have forgotten in our sensory overloaded life. all of the reality tv nature shows on cable these days have narrators yelling at you and soundtracks with epic music, bombarding our senses in the hope of achieving drama. well, i prefer watching your drama. the brief time i have to spend in nature thanks to your filming is fulfilling for me. i have read your comment section and people seem to universally agree about the peacefulness and calm of your silent documentary. this collection of films you have assembled i feel are destined to be watched for a long time. thank you for your hard work and dedication to every camera shot; it does not go unappreciated, friend.
I agree 100%
I am binge watching your vids again early this a.m. It occurred to me that I watch them multiple times and maybe don’t do my due diligence and hit the “like button” enough. It’s so easy to go from one video to the next and forget, so I’m going to go back over the next few days and “liking” them all! There are truly only a very few RUclips channels I can say that I find all the videos informative and likable. Funny thing is, the handful of channels I can say that about are coming from Canadian Tubers! You fellows up there are living the life!!!
Cali is living a dog's dream life. Dig in the dirt and mud, run and fetch in the woods then swim in the creek. Lucky dog!! Just love watching you and her enjoy the great outdoors. Thanks for sharing.
I paused the video to comment how happy i am to see Cali get some pizza. Continue.
NBA CHAMPION 2019 TORONTO RAPTORS, Congratulations Canadians!
I started watching this channel for the log cabin build.
Now I sit through 45min videos waiting for little glimpses of Cali.
lol!
I wait for the meal prep. And I don't even like to cook. Lol.
@@dawnc5797 I've said all along he needs to start a cooking channel! The food looks amazing!
Shawn thanks for your vídeos I love IT, I hope you read this comment, I think you should get other way to plant some vegatables, get information about hydroponic,
Yes hydroponic you dont need plant in land, its growing plant in PVC pipes , believe or not its complete organic and natural
For example:
One plant like lettuce take 3 months to grow in land, but hydroponic take only 1 month
You dont have any problem with weather season like snow
You always have a control in your plants, I send to you some information, about hydroponic and clone a tree in natural way
Take one year to produce fruits
This information is worth because you can also can plant in your cabin all kinds fruits like:
Apple. Tangerin
Oranges. Peach
Grapefruit. Bananas
Mangos. Pears
Avocado. Cacao
Lemons jackfruit
And many more this cabin its going to be amazing in organic food
35:55 - don't worry about us, Shawn. This is your journey. Some of us are here because you are making a journey, not because we want you to make our journey for us! I mean, don't be too influenced by what we may or may not want; that way lies madness! All good wishes.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR COUNTRY, CANADA, FOR WINNING THEIR FIRST NBA TITLE !!!
@Sang Man : were invented.
Thx but that isn’t important. This is what life truly is about.
My partner comes into the living room and says, "Oh, are you watching Shawn? What is he up to?" like we are your friends. It feels like we know you!
The money shot was Calie watching you chop wood! She's so happy
Putting that garden together and clearing all the area for it was a lot of work for a day. I bet you slept like a rock that night.
thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy your videos . It’s so much better than watching TV . In fact I don’t even own a TV . Many of the things your doing I’ve done in the past . I’m now 72 years old and can still swing an ax either handed today . My dad bought me a new ax when I was 14 years old and I cleared about three acres of thick hard wood . It took all summer to do it . He showed me how to stack the brush piles and that winter we burned them . We were making a big garden spot . We made our own ax handles when I broke one . I built and paid for my own home when I was in my thirties . What your doing will teach young people how to do wood craft if they will just watch and learn . Thanks for your very descent and informative videos .
I liked your comment because you're 72 and know your way around the internet, good for you! Hope I'll be able to keep up with modern tech when I'm your age.
@@87vortex87 he knows his way around the internet better than my 57 year old mother lol
I think,you ,re the best James
Thanks 87virtex87 . I love “ My Self Reliance “ videos because they remind me of many of the things I’ve done in my younger years . I’ve been on many two week hunting and fishing trips where I camped and cooked over a camp fire . I’ve stayed in a big tent for a couple of weeks at a time every year while deer hunting . I cleared my own place with an ax to build my home . Then I built my own rock and cedar house with a rock fireplace . I contracted the concert slab , rough-in pluming , rough in wiring , and Sheetrock . I did all the framing , outside rock work , roofing and everything else . But when I finished building my home it was paid for . We’ve bought a five acer piece of property with a small cabin on it back in January of this year . It’s located up in the hills of central Arkansas close to a big lake and the Arkansas river . We’re going to sale our home and build a small 1200 or 1300 sq ft log cabin . We can deer hunt right out our back door . There’s a small creek right behind the cabin and three and a half acres of woodland . There’s large tracks of woodland all around our new place . I’m still very active at 72 years old and can still out work most men half my age lol !!!
Louis, you're a treasure! Good for you! Isn't Shawn the most rounded guy ever?
The Deer and Rabbits are going to eat good this summer LOL
Something's got to grow first! :o)
Shawn, you ought to do lecture tours on bushcraft! You'd be a millionaire again in your own right! I can barely glue wood and hang a shelf but I'd sign up pronto. Course it means travelling far and wide.
I love the sheer number of shots of Cali just peeking at stuff
Thank for posting. Cali is most delightful and entertaining. She speaks well for all dogs that are loved and cared for.
I'm used to them in the morning on Friday I get to watch this as my evening show tonight thanks
STEELCITY TV SS
Coty and Chelsea here from Virginia:
Next "My self reflection" Ghost story time? Please? 😁My husband and I started watching you last night and have been binge watching you ever since 💚🌲
Hello. I watch your Video from Germany. ☺️🙂🤘
Belgium here
How wonderful it is to CLEAN UP A PIECE OF LAND out of debris, and making it useful TO GROW FOOD! Love it!
"Not interesting to watch maybe for you.." brother who are you kiddin?! You think i knew what that pile was or how it functioned?! No way! Absolutely loved this video.
Your videos make me excited about getting my own home soon. Very inspirational!
What a wonderful video. Every year I helped my father plant a garden but in the seventh year, he would let the ground lay fallow. I always admired him for that. When I saw you digging up rocks you reminded me of him. Nothing deterred him. Thanks so much for sharing your lifestyle with us.
Hugelkultur is a brilliant idea!
It will also help keep the soil warm, giving you a longer growing season .
Neznisgip ....butno link 🤷♀️😧
Lots of work with a nice reward.. You will have to protect your garden now.. Fence will be needed.
I could watch you work all day, it's not boring at all. I also love watching Cali play all day. Cant wait for the next video and for your family to arrive and join you.
I think you can pretty much do whatever you set your mind to do, so far you have created something we are all proud of.
I watch videos on a laptop with headphones on. In places the bugs were buzzing so close so the camera the sound was right in my ear and I reached up several times to swat them away from my head! You do a great job of bug bite prevention.
The sound of those bugs is making me swat in the air and scratch my head..lol
We are all proud of you, we know it's not easy what you are doing, to see what you have done from the start to now is amazing, we enjoy watch each step your taking in making your homestead a real home for your family, we are here cheering you on😘
Shawn, you have been an escape for me as now trustee for my mother. So many things to do, yet I feel balanced in how you handle things.
I agree with what many have said here: Calie is adorable, and you're gonna need a fence. Oh, and love the door!
Wow! Your door is beautiful! And now the garden!!! You have come so far in 2 years Shawn! I love what you do!!! Thank you for sharing it all with us!
Iam an old farmer from Puerto Rico and you take me back to my young days when we live of the farm mostly,love your videos 200% and more
Shawn, something that gave me great vegetables in the past was 50 lb bag of fishmeal. The kind used at government fisheries. Nice dark and rich soil like consistency with a heavy fish smell. You would really need a sturdy fence, due to critters.
Glad to see you back Thursday night 8 o'clock p.m. June a 13th 73ﾟ North Carolina
You should be very proud of your homestead! It's amazing!
They say you are one of the best. I think and believe you are the only best. I Love and live for watching your videos Shawn. It always gets better and better.
My dad's friend always used to say about sawing wood,, "" it will keep you Warm Twice""so true...
Your dog is such a sweetheart Shawn, seems like such a happy dog.
I noticed from my experience growing up in the same situation (cabin life) our dog was happy. I have always felt a city life is no place for a dog. I feel if the dog can't be free to run about it won't be truly happy. Hell, I wouldn't.
All the things to smell and water to swim in, mud and dirt to roll in, great food because Daddy is a great cook, nature 24/7--happy dog. Cali is a lucky pup :)
Wish i was Cali..😏
I keep imagining thought bubbles for Cali when ever she stops and stares at him.
@@jeanblythe1595 good thinking
Thanks for the great family friendly content. Those bugs kept me swatting!
Shawn you are the man ! You are the person I aspire to be one day.Thanks for the amazing videos !
Cali is one smart dog . She goes to the window to beg .😊🐕
"Cali, it's too dirty"
(Dog is literally covered in mud halfway up her body!!
lol
Love the videos, keep em coming.
We have made a few gardening videos, and intend to make some more.
Nothing quite like growing your own food!!!
Good Thursday Shawn & Cali🐶! The wind breeze blowing through the forest definitely help with the biting bugs!
👍🌬🏞😋🍕🍕
To me any thing you are doing to make yourself more self reliant and living of the land at the cabin is right for the channel. Everything from the fun activities to the boring land turn over for a garden in the dead of summer. All are points we can take notes on and learn from.
Your videos are very inspiring. Now, if only I were 30 years younger...
I hear you sister!
The fact that you just posted this video and already have 17 thumbs down tells me that some are following your channel with no other intention than to dislike your videos. Sounds like they have miserable unfulfilling lives. Love your videos and have learned many things along the way. Keep up the great work, Shawn and Cali!
Yes, some jealous people out there
Trolls. We have to totally ognore them. There is no possible reason to thumbs down
any of this perfection. Once again, thanks Shawn.
When I was in FL, the mosquitoes in my yard were awful. I used to dream about putting up screen...over the entire property, lol!
No, I never did it. Decided I just was getting out of FL! Loving Virginia! Sitting on the deck, 70 degrees, sun setting behind a mountain, waterfall and creek as the soundtrack...sigh...Loving life!
Hey, in Texas the mosquitoes come in two sizes...small enough to go through the screen door or big enough to open it! Ha! Not my joke, Texans...Blame Reader’s Digest!
That pizza looked yummy!
The garden is indeed late...so was mine, so we’ll both have less than optimal harvest, I guess. Better than nothing, though! You really want to invest in deer fence around it before you lose all your plants. My son lives in a suburban neighborhood here and the deer came in his yard and ate all the branches off his newly planted fruit trees. He was exasperated.
The sauna door turned out beautiful! Really nice job, and impressive creativity! Love it!
And don't forget the 2 weeks of "love bugs" in May and September. They were awful this May when I spent the month with my son and his family. My daughter in law said they were worse this year for some reason.
Ronnie in VA I'll take 2 to go... LOL
Ronnie in VA same for me in North Carolina...no bugs...lotta snakes, tho...
Ronnie in VA : 🇬🇧 Exasperated ?? I presume you are being polite because if that had happened to me my language would have been extremely colourful.
You have never seen em so bad here in Northern Ontario Holy Fuck 😂
I love that bark veneer on that door and the handle.
Hi Shawn for a guy who grew up without a dad o father figure m learning quite a lot from yo videos thank you ❤️🙏
Wow perfect timing.. just about to go to bed here in Sweden! Thank you
Good night and greetings from Finland
Greetings from Belgium,I been there in Sweden last year,very beautiful country
If interested I filmed the things I visited
Thanks for another great video. That pizza looks amazing.
I am enjoying all of this!! I have to say your wife is one lucky woman. Good men are hard to find here in Southeast Texas! I guess I should add that I am in my late 60s and gave up on relationships just wanted to speak my heart of what I think as I watch you. You are one hard working man!
James and Kali my favorite duet
You gonna have to build an off grid shop cabin next. Since people are saying where they're watching from, I'm watching from North Carolina.
Can smell the wood burning from here.
My cat is eating my pepper and tomato plants...cannot imagine fighting with moose, bunnies and squirrels to keep my garden growing! Hoping for the best for you! Love...Grama
It seems that My Self Reliance is becoming self satisfied, wow what awesome achievements in a single day. Garden and realising a 2 year in the making idea. End result is nomnomnom yummy.
Looks like a great start to a garden!!! In my mind you may want to bring in some good compost and start composting from the outhouse and your food waste to supplement and in a year or two it will be amazing!!!!! Good luck and great work!!
You should invite all your RUclips fans for pizza. You made me so hungry now.
The oven seems to work extremely well.
Oven would be to small lol
Job check list finish door, clear garden and last of all give Cali a bath lol. Looks like a home more and more not just a cabin
That pizza looked yummy . Thanks for the great video 👍🇬🇧
Have you thought about making planters around the cabin area where you can grow certain plants and herbs besides in a garden? Wouldn't take much. Just some logs and fill in with some dirt.
Absolutely. I planted a few pockets yesterday
It's been a while since I have seen your pizza oven in action...🤔😎🍍🍀✌️
Not boring to me! I love how you just simply move forward w/ each of your projects!! Very inspiring.
As an observation, It looks like a self built wheel barrow will be in order sooner rather than later! We’ll see what you come up with. Always a surprise. Thx!!
Just at bedtime♥💯♥
That's a purtty door Shawn😊
your videoes is always such a delight to watch, my favorite you tuber by far. Thank you, thank you! :)
I think you may have a stressful summer. Moving. Gardening. Sharing with us. Please take time to regenerate in your favorite ways. You have a good weekend.
The Door is WOW ,Beautiful job & so unique ,
Love the jam packed video! The sauna door is amazing, the anticipation of each kind of wood being put to use makes for an exciting watching experience. Cali is of course a pup living a great lifestyle. You can just tell she's happy! Can't wait to see how the gardens grow, too. Thank you for sharing your life, it's truly inspiring.
Simply marvelous Shawn as always. Your videos can not be "Not interesting to watch" ever
Now this was a outstanding video ! It takes me back to the days of your cabin build. The days your channel was growing like mad. Not a lot of talking, just good content.
Your videos are like therapy, for someone who wants to do this, but can't. My grandfather had the same tools, the hand drill and plane, reminds me of him. He was a homesteader in Montana, in the early 20th Century. Your dog looks happy, and the door looks great. Great looking pizza too
Shawn , can’t wait to see the garden grow! Love the video!💕🌽🥕🥔🍅
This is my favorite kind of video, creating, woodworking, cooking, building and very little if any talking. I enjoy hearing the birds and forest sounds. Awesome video!!!
And Cali panting 💞😆
YES!!!
Shawn, I am excited my husband watches as I watch these videos now lol the city slicker he is now has two chairs by the fire pit and he is searching the woods for us camp fire wood. Sounds simple but I am excited that my son and I are getting him in the groove lol
The leadlight in that gorgeous door is absolutely gorgeous. It will pick up all the changing light as the year goes on. Cant wait to see it.
Woohoo just in time for bed here in Ireland 😁😁😁
There's a place I always wanted to visit. Ireland.
@@JF-fx2qv if possible I visit it in a couple of weeks
@@sosteve9113 Take photos of the landscape and architecture.
@@JF-fx2qv if I got to Ireland, I will u did make a video of my trip trough Sweden
Good God man, make yourself a pizza paddle! lol Great video as usual!
That sauna door is gorgeous! 😍
Nice perimeter. . . That will definitely be a nice-sized garden for you and your wife!!!
Grande! Ti do un🖒per la pizza😀
I'm having some serious cravings for pizza for some reason. 🤣Great video Shawn.
You could also apply the "Ruth Stout Method" - with hay!
A cabin door done, pizza and a garden! :) Everything lookin' mighty fine there! :) Sow your seeds on a hot day to get the best germination or cover overnight with plastic. A garden just takes time like years. Work it a bit everyday and in 3 years time you can plant and grow anything.
Following you from a long time, I like your projects.
Watching you from Bermuda, but originally from New Brunswick.
Now I want Pizza for some reason. Do you deliver...lol
Your whole estate seems so established in the woods right now! Even you, as a human, are no longer a foreign body! Wish we all could live this way. Did you ever read Adam Bede? He was a carpenter of rare character and courage in literature. Has always been one of my heroes. I think you would appreciate it. You live by the same principles. I remember my first comment to you was "Do you have an older brother, that is unattached?"
Mind you, he'd probably give me the high road if he was anything like you! TFS
Shawn, I like your little metal invention you use instead of a pizza peel. Glad to know someone else besides me knows the dog gets cheese and the crusts.
Love your videos but man, they make me hungry!
My headphones are so good I swatted at a not there mosquito from the video audio..lol
Lol
True, I swipe at imaginary bug sounds too🤔
@@patriciabarnes6664 if you can here the bug sound ,, its not imaginary
You said this video might not be that interesting but it sure is for me. The more of these types of videos the better. I'm hoping to be as self reliant as possible and I learn best by watching things be done and am learning alot from your videos. It's greatly appreciated.
Why in the world would 87 people hit the thumbs down??? Shawn, every video is always interesting and amazing. Wish I could live the simple life and do it for my job! Keep making great content
Hello!! Watch youre videos from Mexico.
How do you keep Cali clean. She loves playing in the water and the mud. 🐶Good luck on the garden. GREAT VIDEO 🙌
I was going to ask the exact same question
I don't find anything boring in your videos, it's all good. Keep up the great work!
NICE WOODEN PICKET FENCE AROUND YOUR GARDEN PATCH TO KEEP ANINALS OUT. WELL DONE SHAWN
What will you use for a fence ??
To stop passing animals from enjoying your garden..
Willows bro, thicker for posts and thins for weaves, they tie up pretty good as well..
wow, I've never noticed you at the cabin,, where you hidin' !!!
Hahaha I'm holding the camera ;)
@Craig i don't know, chicken wire isn't easily made from ground materials... It's easier but he does mention how hes looking for more native ways from the past... But I do see a video coming up soon...
@@ricksanchez5595 lol
