Ha ha ha! That is the most you've showed your family. You have a beautiful wife and daughter. Your wife is very funny at the end. As a long time viewer of both your channels, I appreciate you sharing this.
Your two daughters are beautiful young ladies! How lucky they are to have you as their role model. They will choose wisely their future partner because of the effort you and Mrs James have provided them. A wonderful family to watch.
Judge Steve ..yes a useless father not emotionally or financially taking care of the kids he made because he's out screwing everything in sight and making kids with many other women and then this results in single mothers..yup hero single moms...
You sure do have a beautiful family. Your daughter is a beauty, that's for sure! I think it's great that you're taking the time and using your knowledge to teach your daughter the right way to handle an axe to cut wood. She's full of smiles, so she must like it.....You're a great Dad Mr. James!!
I taught my son last year to split wood. And this year moved him to the smaller and more dangerous hatchet. Good to teach the kids basic skills and how to do it safely. Thanks for sharing Shawn! Always brightens my day to see a video posted by you.
regarding body mechanics of chopping firewood; an experienced old guy who had spent many years in the bush camp cutting pulp wood, shared his knowledge of selecting the proper length of axe for maximum control and leverage; the optimum axe length for the individual should be measured from the crotch to the ground. i have tried various lengths of axe handle and found this wisdom to be true.
Thank you for sharing. Many people do not realize this is a skill everyone needs to know, not only young males. I learned from my Dad, which was great because I wound up having a wood fireplace insert in my home for many years. It was so nice to see the smiles on your daughters faces when the axe struck true.
Way cool..Good daddy teaching your daughter outdoors skills. Lots of woman and girls out in the world that aren't so lucky to grow up with a daddy or father figure. So seeing that made me smile.
I taught my wife to split firewood and her family thought that I was being mean to her. Well, she ended up loving it and she was awesome at it. I remember the look on her face when she split her first piece really well, it looked just like your daughters face, one of delighted accomplishment! Good job Sean!!
Great video, I have a 12 year old daughter and try to teach her everything I have been taught and learned over the years. These skills in my opinion should be taught to everyone.
Your family is strikingly gorgeous, Shawn. I'm so glad your wife and daughter seem to be getting more comfortable about being in your videos! I'd love to see them more often!
Great smiles at the end splitting wood! I love it when my family is part of the work I have to do and it was nice to see yours being part of your work. Thanks again Shawn.
Εχετε πολύ όμορφη οικογένεια και μας αρέσει να σας βλέπουμε μαζί.Η κόρη σας είναι καλή μαθήτρια.Να σας έχει ο Θεός όλους καλά. Βλέπω όλα τα βίντεο σας.Σας χαιρετώ από Ελλάδα.
Excellent advice, I have been guilty of this many times... trying to “hurry up the process” with the fire and ending up taking longer than it should. I love to hear your perspective on these skills. There is no substitute for years of experience to show you what is important. Great to see your teaching and interaction. Looks like a beautiful day with your family! Thanks for sharing a bit of it with us.
Hi Shawn, I appreciate to see your smart and congenial daughter, your nice wife and cuddly Cali ! Thank you very much to your family! Greetings from Germany from a woman, who has never tried to split firewood at all.
Thanks for sharing the lessons. I hope both your wife and daughter keep up the interest in learning safety in chopping firewood and help you, and themselves in the future.
I'm not even that well practiced in fire making and I still act like I know what I'm doing some times. Good advice to not be casual about building fires. You dont always have a roll of news paper or can of gas to bail you out from a lack of prep. Also good to show your family the safe way of chopping. You are gonna have to pass some chores off at times with all those different fires places. At least they will be doing it safely. Thanks for the upload. Keep up the great work.
Nice to see you teaching your daughters to chop wood, never know when they may need to do that. Today April 2, we've had snow, rain & now enjoying sunshine up north. Glad to see the girls spending time & learning from you. Have a great week!
Love seein the time you spend with your children. Both of my children are far away from home and I miss them terribly. Both are serving our country and doing what they love so it makes it slightly easier to deal with.
What may seem like such a trivial moment in time with your daughter is something that she's going to remember for the rest of her life. Daddy-daughter time. Thank you for sharing
Yes!!. We finally get to see your family. You can get to know a person by how they act with there family. I like seeing you show your woman essential skill at the cabin. Thanks for sharing and hope to see the whole family more often.
This video was great! 👍 I love watching the transfer of knowledge. I am sure people think it is silly but where I am from you can never learn too much. Some of my fondest memories were life lessons that I though I would never need. Glad that your kin is open minded enough to try/learn. Great video.
one If not the most important survival skills is fire making.. and it’s one that every person should know how to do. Even if you never use that skill it’s good to know how. Thanks for introducing your family Shawn. You talk about them quite a bit it’s good to finally see them. I think they are beautiful ladies
I went and lived a year off grid. I came to be able to build a fire in a downpour. Amazing what you can do when you're hungry and want to cook dinner..
I did too. For a few years.Overrated.LOLMoved back to town and bought a house with a wood stove tore it out and installed a Diakon heat pump. The old wood stove sits right next to the pump as a reminder.The grass is always greener on the other side.
Nice way to introduce you wife and daughter to your channel... we don't see them often. I love the fact that you are teaching them your skills... I do the same with my daughters and they enjoy learning and they enjoy spending time with me out there in nature.
Oh man, your firemaking talk is right on point haha. Almost every time I go out, I just get so dang excited and throw everything right in the fire off the bat... Inevitably it gets choked and goes out, I spend 10 minutes blowing on the thing and then break it all down and do it properly haha. After a long day on the canoe, I'm just itching to eat a nice hot meal and my patience just gets thrown right out the window lol. You're right, stuff like that takes time and it's worth it to practice doing it properly and skillfully. By the way, it's cool that you get your daughter up there to practice some outdoor skills. My family was never the outdoor type, so I was never shown how to do things properly... Heck, they barely got me out into the wilderness. I'm lucky to have a great friend that brought me into the Canadian backcountry and showed me some useful skills, priming me to the outdoor lifestyle. I have a whole lot more to learn, but I'm slowly learning and it's great! Especially with the internet at my disposal, it's great to have such a wealth of knowledge out there to learn from. Anyway, cheers man! I can't wait for the canoe season to open up... Gonna grab my Swift boat from the store in Gravenhurst and head up north ASAP!
Hey Stef.. agreed, the more one gets 'out there' and gains experience, often through trial and error, you become more thoughtful about each task, as you learn the skills and nuances and details of whatever it is you are attempting to do after a few 'tests' .... it gets easier as time goes on, with the right actions. cheers.
How true, I've screwed up many fires because i was in a rush and didn't have enough middle size pieces of wood. Nice to see you explaining what your doing to us and your family. Thanks for making a dreary sunday morning a little sunnier.
Good job Dad! Teach ' em young and the skills will last a lifetime! Great family time n sharing.. Thanks for sharing! Good tip on fire skills too... Thanks! ATB👍🌴😎🌴👍!
The decency of the comments is reflecting what kind of man Shawn is. Lot's of respect here, and I wish it was this way everywhere. This place is special.
C'est beau un sourire Canadien....puis 2 puis 3 et encore 4, celui de Cali qui sourit tout le temps ....vous lui faites une formidable vie de chien...j'ai toujours rêvé d'une cabane au bord d'un lac au Canada......vous l'avez fait pour moi ...et je regarde ravie du haut de mes 80 ans,ça me réchauffe le coeur .....merci...à vous tous d'être si beau
Fire is the most important skill in the wild. You need to be prepared before the first spark comes to the wood. Great job teaching your wife and daughter the basics of axe skills. Beautiful family, sir!
I wondered how long it would take before the mysterious Mrs. James would finally be seen and heard in a video instead of being hidden behind a coffee mug or some other prop. :) I'm hoping you are ready to spend some time studying the guitar. I've just written my first book, a study method on a guitar subject, and will be sending you one in about a week. Keep up the good work!
Nicely done Shawn, basic rules for teaching, Instruct, demonstrate and practice. Wonderful that you are having family time and teaching useful skills and it shows that are loving it. If you could only teach Cali to pile it, you would be set. Great work.
That’s a great lesson for your daughter. Taught my daughters how to work on their cars and had them help me fix things around the house. Now that they are in their 20’s they are using all that knowledge to save money and time!
My wife and I loved this video with your wife and daughter. It was a great and endearing way to teach us all a new skill. Thanks! Looking forward to more of these videos!
#1 skill for survival is building a shelter. You can survive 30 days without food, 3 days without water, 3 hours without shelter.Preparing all you need for a fire is essential before starting it. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Keep your paddle in the water.
Your daughter did a great job of splitting wood Shawn. I enjoy watching someone trying something new, when their eyes light up and they realize, I CAN DO IT!!! I saw that in her eyes... Very Cool!
All freaking right !!!!! You do it girl. Give her a break......she's under stress. I'm not sure if it's her first time cutting fire wood, but she's doing GREAT !!!!! I loved it ! Paddy & I are mighty impressed with her. Definitely want to see more. Next......your wife cutting fire wood. LOL Thanks for the kind of candid video, Shawn. Your daughter is beautiful. Jamie & Paddy Crabtree-Messenger...........Tennessee Big hug to Cali
I can understand your thinking we were just seeing his one daughter the whole time because both women are so pretty and young looking, but I do believe that was his daughter at first and his wife finished the video.
LOL We have 3 daughters...but someone has to figure out how to get a cell phone to split wood for them, or it likely won't happen. If they DID split wood, it would only be to post it on instagram. I sigh a lot.
Lição familiar! Hoje um dia muito bonito em logística Cabin e apesar de estar nevado o dia está muito despejado para que a família acompanhe James e Cali. James ensina sua filha como deve usar o machado para cortar a lenha e parece que ela já sabe a técnica muito bem e várias vezes vai praticando com instruções de seu querido pai que para ele é muito fácil já que essa é uma de suas tarefas diárias. A filha de James se diverte por alguns minutos porém como todo adolescente essa não deve ser sua atividade preferida diante de tantas coisas mais interessantes pra explorar em Long Cabin. Melhor é que James continue fazendo os cortes de lenha. Todo aprendizado é importante ainda que não utilize nunca. Cali como sempre adorando o seu dono e ele escuta e observa com atenção a todos seus movimentos. A lenha já cortada pelo experto da família já está preparada para ser utilizada.
Thank You. Important ingredients to survival cannot be stated and taught enough. I am glad that you are getting your family involved. Since you are committed to a long term life in the wilderness with your wife, REALLY important that she develops the skills now. As most of us who are subscribers have mentioned in the past, should anything happens to you that incapacitates you while out in the wild with your family, they will need those skills for survival. I like this second channel so that you can share your considerable skills and knowledge. Keep up the good work, and give Cali a BIG HUG from Mike & Ronnie.
Cali is in need of love. maybe she is worried and a bit jealous about the double visit .. Shawn, you lovingly comforted and cuddled Cali. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your entertaining work. Best regards. Erich
Ha ha ha! That is the most you've showed your family. You have a beautiful wife and daughter. Your wife is very funny at the end. As a long time viewer of both your channels, I appreciate you sharing this.
pretty sure that was his daughter at the end.
judith fuetterer Well the title says my wife and daughter... and the gal at the end was definitely not the same person chopping wood first.
jcsrst I agree... this was great!
It was my wife messing around at the end
Sooo beautiful. Your daughter is the spitting image of her mom
LOL, @ 7:49 Shawn sets the log for his daughter, then RUNS FOR HIS LIFE!
Beautiful family Shawn, thanks for sharing
Mr. Shawn James, beautiful Family. Nice family time!
But they are pretty lame dont even know to cut woods. My sister cutted woods normally
Your two daughters are beautiful young ladies! How lucky they are to have you as their role model. They will choose wisely their future partner because of the effort you and Mrs James have provided them. A wonderful family to watch.

It was nice seeing your daughter learning how to split wood you are pretty patient with her
His wife did great too :) (They almost look like the same young person the whole time!)
To be honest I'm not 100% sure which is the daughter and which is the wife. You know what they say about assumptions.
@@mapleleaf0 yes doesn't help that they are wearing the same coat
Yep, be nice and patient. Its the journey not the destination...
I taught my son last year to split wood. And this year moved him to the smaller and more dangerous hatchet. Good to teach the kids basic skills and how to do it safely. Thanks for sharing Shawn! Always brightens my day to see a video posted by you.
Nothing better then spending time with family teaching them a useful skill.
When your young lady said "Oh" in surprise at a successful swing, too cute. Thanks for sharing.
This was beautiful! I love to see a father take time to teach an important skill in a calm, patient way.
Great job, being a patient dad/teacher.
regarding body mechanics of chopping firewood; an experienced old guy who had spent many years in the bush camp cutting pulp wood, shared his knowledge of selecting the proper length of axe for maximum control and leverage;

So lovely to see your family involved and in the video. Beautiful ladies. 🌲❄️🍁
Glad to see your wife and daughter with you. Family is everything!
Love the lesson with your daughter. She’s adorable, from a Granny’s point of view. Thanks for sharing.

For amateurs like myself it was invaluable footage watching you talk your daughter and wife through the correct technique. Ty sir
Your family is strikingly gorgeous, Shawn. I'm so glad your wife and daughter seem to be getting more comfortable about being in your videos! I'd love to see them more often!
its important for everyone to understand how to cut wood at the cabin. You have a beautiful family. You keep making memories and I'll keep watching
Great smiles at the end splitting wood! I love it when my family is part of the work I have to do and it was nice to see yours being part of your work. Thanks again Shawn.
A family that chops wood together... Thanks for sharing, Shawn.
Let the tool do the work. My dad taught me that. And I've passed it on to my 3 girls. Shawn, we're lucky guys.
Beautiful family. You must be so proud of what you have accomplished. Your daughter will never forget these moments!
Fire Good!!! Splitting wood is one of my favorite simple pleasures! "good prep is the key to any successful enterprise"

Enjoyed seeing your wife and daughter there more than the Survival Tip. Nice family.
There's nothing better than good quality family time. It gives parents an opportunity to teach their children, which never stops.
Shawn & Cali, God bless your family.
Love seein the time you spend with your children. Both of my children are far away from home and I miss them terribly. Both are serving our country and doing what they love so it makes it slightly easier to deal with.
Great advice I will be sure to pass down! Wonderful for you to share your family time. I definitely feel more "connected" to Shawn James. Thanks.
The only time I saw you smile was when your family visited. They definitely make you a happier man. Lovely family indeed.
A dads top responsibility is to always teach the family. Great job Shawn.
Well great to see some of the family getting involved. Keep it up!!!
What may seem like such a trivial moment in time with your daughter is something that she's going to remember for the rest of her life. Daddy-daughter time. Thank you for sharing
You have a beautiful family. Great times together.
So good to see you with your wife and daughter at the cabin. Loved the wood chopping lessons.

Educating others through experience is priceless. It's always good to teach & pass on the knowledge you gained throughout the years. Great job.

Beautiful wife and daughter. It must be so much fun doing all those things together.
Great video! I like the content about the Bushcraft skills and where you were interacting with your family. Keep em coming
Nicely done Shawn, basic rules for teaching, Instruct, demonstrate and practice.
Wonderful that you are having family time and teaching useful skills and it shows that are loving it. If you could only teach Cali to pile it, you would be set.
Great work.
Fantastic woodsman lady 👍
Ladies (both daughter and wife did great, right?!)
Really enjoy BOTH channels Shawn. Nice to see the family there with you.
Beautiful family. Thank you for sharing
That’s a great lesson for your daughter. Taught my daughters how to work on their cars and had them help me fix things around the house. Now that they are in their 20’s they are using all that knowledge to save money and time!
The Cali hug was perfect. I alway tryst a dog's judgement and she thinks your a little better than OK.
Every single dog likes me, but I don't like dogs.

Haha me too! I enjoy knitting while watching this channel so I think it’s just where our heads are at 😃
Thanks for the splitting wood lesson. Your daughter inherited the great genes of her parents.

There’s an app for that. 😝
then you failed as a parent :P

I laughed so hard at this post. I’m nominating it for comment of the year.

10 points each to the 2 learners for learning! I so want to chop wood at the cabin now. And light fires.
Only 10 points?

Cali is amazing. She is very endearing. Great video. Thanks for posting
Lição familiar!
Hoje um dia muito bonito em logística Cabin e apesar de estar nevado o dia está muito despejado para que a família acompanhe James e Cali.
James ensina sua filha como deve usar o machado para cortar a lenha e parece que ela já sabe a técnica muito bem e várias vezes vai praticando com instruções de seu querido pai que para ele é muito fácil já que essa é uma de suas tarefas diárias. A filha de James se diverte por alguns minutos porém como todo adolescente essa não deve ser sua atividade preferida diante de tantas coisas mais interessantes pra explorar em Long Cabin. Melhor é que James continue fazendo os cortes de lenha.
Todo aprendizado é importante ainda que não utilize nunca.
