I use my hand tools to build the entrance portion of the deck under the covered porch on my off grid log cabin after making lasagna and lard from bear meat and fat that my friend Jeremy brought me last week. This is the time of year to stock the pantry with food foraged, hunted, fished and harvested. I flashback to my last two days in Alaska, fishing for pink salmon in a small creek.

The epitome of a self made man, he builds his log cabin, hunts and cook his food with the company of his dog.
We learn a lot from you.
OralSurgeonRider nah, to be a real man he needs to be making his own cheese. No store bought cheese. Lol great vids
Jerrymc1975 have you built a log cabin all by yourself? Hunt, cook and live in the wilderness by yourself??? He can live without cheese, cheese is just an extra commodity!!
@@OralSurgeonRider well said
my friend
Shawn, I've been following your channel since your second or third video ( cant remember clearly ), and I must say I have noticed how you have changed. At the beginning you were somewhat a bitter man, disappointed and fed up with other "people" / your surrounding trying to get the best of you. But you knew life is beautiful, you struggled, never gave up, you believed in something, you have worked hard on fulfilling that dream + you had your family supporting you, and now.... now we can see you smiling :) and what a beautiful smile it is ! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us... Much respect and love from Serbia.
Your are right!
I like Shawns smile very much too!
And I am happy he uploads all these nice and interesting videos! 😍👍🐶
Greetings from Germany! 👋
yeah I think you're right I think Sean would have become a mass murderer probably shot up a malllor two maybe even a good country music concert but luckily he found carpentry in the woods and now he's safe......laughing to myself
I have made the same observations and assume the same!!

I love and are inspired by what you have done with timber. That Log cabin is amazing and reminds me of Grizzly Adams. I certainly could live that type of life. So much less stressful but yet fulfilling. Making your own meals, living off the land, building everything from what nature has to offer. I can smell that good food over here in Australia.
I was chuckling all through the first 17 minutes as you could hear the pooch panting all along
Great to have the four legged star back again, and you as well Shawn!
respect from Russian man, from west Siberia. Your area is so beautiful as our places! But we have harise, instead of salmon. Joy in the soul when you see such beauty. Still young, but I'm being pulled into the taiga. I want to build something like that. I love nature.
I bet it’s beautiful there! I wish we had Putin in Canada instead of Crime Minister Justin Trudeau! Cheers.
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 We now burn 2 million hectares of forest in Krasnoyarsk Krai (in Siberia). Putin now does not control what regional authorities do. Putin reacts when people talk through the Internet and pickets about the arbitrariness of local authorities. After that, Putin does not decide to remove the head of local authorities. Governors are not afraid of federal power and do what they want: they illegally cut down the forest and sell to China is a tragedy for Russia.

Your videos are so amazing and peaceful. It really eases my anxiety. I find myself falling to sleep to them and rewatching them later. Your work is something else. God Bless.
Me too
Oh my goodness me how I love the sound of the Loon and then hearing wolves howling it brings such Joy to my heart. Thank you Shawn for recording all your most interesting life at the cabin. If you can do it, so many others can do it too. I take my hat off to you Sir ....cuddles for Cali too....thanks.
AND WHO HAS ALL THESE TOOLS AND GADGETS TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION?
Thank you for sharing your life experiences and precious Cali with us. She is a bright star.
This maybe one of the best channels on CZcams the quality is so top-tier
Cheers
I'm so glad for the underwater footage. Well it's all fantastic and keeps getting better. Thanks Shawn for sharing your bucket list with us. A trip that's on my list, too.
I agree entirely.
yup
YES!! I'm enjoying again DEC 2019 !! 😍
== HE SURE DOWS LIKE TO EAT ALOT
"What Happens At The Cabin Stays At The Cabin" I love it
That bear lasagne looked delicious, your brilliant porch is going to offer some fabulous sit out and relax opportunities with a nice beer at dusk time! Cali sounded like a steam train at around 12 minutes into the film! What a sweet natured girl she is, it must be wonderful to see her again after your trip, she is so faithful. Thanks for posting Shawn and best wishes to family James.
Because of you, I was able to start building a cabin.
산속 Awesome!
I don't think most of the people (Including myself) who watch these video's will ever get to see some of sights you have shown us. Thank you Mr. James!
What a gift God has given you, Shawn James. I just started watching your channels and I just love them. I just sit for hours and watch video after video. Retired. I live in a small Indiana town. I love a primitive, rustic, country feel. Your wife is blessed to have you, and you are very blessed to have each other. May God bless your self reliance lifestyle, but we both know He is the one in control of your cool rains of blessings. That beautiful four legged creature, Cali is adorable!!! You two are a good fit! :)
The fireplace is beautiful. You are an amazing builder, cook, and teacher.
Thank You for the videos from Alaska. Very good! I miss You in the cabin, home in Your cabin. 😘😍😊🍀🐕❤
That's one cool outdoor kitchen.
THIS IS SOUND THERAPY ,IT SOOTHES MY MIND❤️😊
I love how Cali goes off and does her thing but comes back every few minutes to see what’s up.
É uma pena eu não entende o que vc está falando só sei que vc é um super homem
Dogs are natural born supervisors.
This kind of episode is very welcome .... It's what I like and what defines you !
Золотые руки у Вас дай Вам Бог здоровья!
And now Friday is complete.

Sean, I’ve enjoyed your videos so much I’ve recently bought an additional 15 acres giving me 22 total and I’m starting to clear my cabin site! I love the way you’re living! I’ve had a make shift cabin for 3 years on 7 acres learning the land I’ve got lots of wild plants and mushrooms to forage! I’ll be using a lot of your ideas and also building with my dog! Thanks for working so hard to provide a great peaceful series to watch! I’ll get back at cha! ❤️
That was actually the first time the smell of lasagna came out of my tablet, i swear!
😂😂 I could smell I t too
Glad to have you and Cali back buddy 😁🌎🇺🇸🗽🌴🌴🌴🌴
When you finish rendering the fat, strain it through cotton muslin or equivalent fabric. That will remove the tiny bits that pass through your strainer. You can render additional fat from those crackling, if you continue rendering in an oven (of some type). Better heat control, at that stage, to prevent burning. After, as much fat, as is practical, is rendered, the cracklings will keep for a while. Great for munching, seasoning of vegetables, and added to bread dough. Nothing goes to waste. When I was a kid, we rendered pork lard using my Mother's castiron washpot. Used a wooden paddle (like a small boat paddle) to keep them stirred. BTW, once the included pork skin was done (before it turned crispy) it was delicious in one of Mama's homemade biscuits. Especially when standing around the fire under that washpot on a cold December day. (Traditional butchering day in my part of the southeast USA.)
I remember do that as well at my grandfather's
Shawn, you’re quite the cook, love seeing the meals you prepare. Project is coming along nicely,scenery shots were awesome.💯❤️👍🏾😀✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Haven't watched in awhile (been on leave for a month, went on a few adventures myself), just watching now and had to pause to say that the friggin lasagna looks sooooo good. I've only had bear a few times, and that was probably 20 years ago (they don't get harvested often in South West Nova Scotia) but I do remember I really enjoyed it. As always thanks for sharing your days with us.
Wow Shawn your meals look so delish. Love to see you and Cali. Hugs from Scotland.
Lovely to see both you and Cali back at it again with the cabin videos. A pleasure to watch my favourite duo. Amazing upload
I cant get enough of your videos Sean! This is one of my favorite channels on CZcams. I could sit and watch for hours, which i have already done. I hope you continue uploading for years to come. Thank you for what you do, and thank you for being Real. Love ya, bro....peace....
Interesting watching your build projects. You have inspired me to renovate an old 1940 shiplap shed in my back yard! Anytime a lady puts a three ton jack to good use... well, the neighbors are talking! Once it's done, I'll be putting on a porch ala Shawm James... thanks for doing what you do so well, and sharing it.
Everything you comes looked delicious. Have so enjoyed your Alaskan adventure, but nothing is as beautiful as your home property with Cali in the water.
"But, Daddy, wasn't that a duck? You *don't* want me to fetch it????" Cali looked so confused by that loon :D What a masterclass of a video! It is clear you are rejuvenated by the Alaska adventure--your energy is back, and your serenity, the excitement has returned. Cali is drawn by it, plus she doesn't want you to sneak off again for 2 weeks!!! She was so happy to be with you again. And then there's the cooking.....That lasagna looked soooooo omigosh good!!!!
That's the life we are supposed to live, enjoying nature without stress.
Genau so ! 😊💪👏👏👏

Is there ANYTHING you CAN’T DO? :) EVERYTHING you do is done with sheer PERFECTION!!!!! What a man, what a man, what a mighty GOOOOOOD MAN!!!!
Cali is cute as ever and must have been happy when you came back from your trip to Alaska
Every time I see more Alaska video from you it makes me want to go there. So beautiful.
Every dang time I watch one of these Shawn James films, I end up hitting the fridge for more eats. 👍🤣😉
Lasagna is one of the best dish in North America. You have to grow up eating it. I tried once in South Philadelphia when I was 42 year old, I had a Heartburn of the Century. Boy that was the best thing I ever tasted.
Your videos always make me hungry and remind me how dull most of my hand saws are!
Thoroughly enjoyed video, made me hungry, Alaska clip was nice touch. Glad to see you back at the cabin, and love to see Cali as always. Give Cali a big smooch from Mike & Ronnie.
Hi Mr. James,
thank you for showing this Video it was awesome ! Good to see you back at the Cabin .

That bear lasagna looks delicious! I grew up on bear meat. Freshwater fish, moose, deer, beaver, frog legs, & grouse too. Nothing better than wild game. Love your videos!
Alaska is so strikingly beautiful!!

Love this video. And love seeing so much of Cali in it!♥️ The side porch is coming along nicely! Will be so great to have that. Enjoy your week! Lots of good stuff coming up. 🤗
I missed videos like this! You cooking, building something, & Cali... Perfect!
Home w Covid. Watching all of your videos. Completely relaxed and frequently hungry 1/2 way through. I dose off. Wake up and there’s a porch, bear lasagna, and baked bread. 😮 This channel is the best remedy for 2021-2022. 🙌🤍🪶
Shawn, you're bringing back my rough framing days from 40 years ago, no nailguns, but we used wormdrive skilsaws.... those 20d's or bigger spikes look fun, remember to "oil your elbows" at the end of the day, haha!
These videos are a public service during the COVID pandemic because they are so soothing and calming and comforting to watch. Thank you from Manhattan.
Self-reliant doesn’t even begin to cover it… Remarkable skills in character👍🏻
I really love your style of living, the simple return to our roots as people connected to the outdoors is just inspiring. The cabin and all the beautiful wooden structures you have built out there are awe inspiring, my goal is to one day be able to step back from this crazy, rushing modern world and live like this. Cheers Shawn, God bless you and your family, best wishes for you all and look forward to the next one, stay well.
Feels like you've been gone a long time! Really glad you are back to the cabin cooking, building, teaching us stuff and especially enjoying the fruits of your labors. Missed Cali too.🐶❤
Hey Shawn...You`ve done a great Job, like always...I`m so impressed...Take care of yourself, stay healthy and give Cali some cuddles...Cheers from Switzerland...
Love all the comments from everyone u all said it perfectly god bless everyone watching this video
0:13 Man that is a beautiful little cabin. Really looking forward to what's next.
Embora eu não entenda nada de inglês, gosto muito de acompanhar sua vida e tudo o que faz nesse pedaço de chão! Você é muito dinâmico, inteligente e criativo! Palmas para você!
Good for you Sean! Truly inspiring can’t wait for the next log cabin video! Cheers!
I love that kitchen. I had to stop eating that way though. I had a massive heart attack this past June. I'm 51, genetics and years of ignoring my diet finally had it's consequences. I had a triple bypass and I feel better than I have since my 30's. So this is my second chance and I will make the most of it. However my outdoor kitchen that I will build myself on my camp lot will see less fat and more fiber. My advice to those in their late 40's early 50's, if you feel yourself slowing down and think that you are just getting old. Get yourself to your doctor and listen to him/her.
Wow, Shawn you are quite the Chef too. Bear Lasagna. I love those Wide noodles you used. The food looked just amazing, and the herbs from your garden. You seem very content with your life, when it is obviously at your favorite place. These videos are captivating and I can't wait for the next ones. Keep up the great projects and meal preparations. Again thanks for sharing.
I just love your outdoor kitchen. I dearly love the sound of the loons; do yall ever hear whippoorwills there? I love both sounds; just so calming & peaceful; my late hubby & I would sit out in the evening & listen to the whippoorwills for hours. How many acres do you own there? It's such a beautiful place to call home. Fall is my favorite time of year, as well; the coolness of the air & the color of the fall leaves. As for Alaska, Prince William Sound is beautiful too; so glad you got to go there for a bit. I really, really love your channel, Shawn & thanks so much for sharing your life there with us all. Blessings & hugs to you & your family & of course, dear, sweet Cali. 😊🙏💖🐾💖
Great to see the Outdoor Kitchen fired up again.. home sweet home!
I'm so envious. I wish I had the skills, tools and land to do this. Living like this has been my dream since I was in grade school.
I love Meyer's dish soap, especially the lemon drop and basil scents.
This video was fabulous, theres so much that i loved. When you were on the porch building and took a break and were talking about it and how the sun was at different times of day and in different seasons, and the wind direction..well I loved it all. The cooking, adding and talking about the ingredients...guess what I will have for breakfast soon..lol. People in the normal city don't hardly look up nor notice the birds singing nor the animal sounds etc.. I do now especially since I am home mostly and close to country. I am a N.Y
city kid and now couldnt live in a big city anymore but to visit. If I were rich there IS farmland in N.Y statr tho. Hi Cali..anyway... Thank you for sharing with us.
You're so talented. Your family is lucky to have a man who does everything.
I love your cabin, it makes me wanna get out there in the wild and do the same. Maybe when my kids are older we can have this as a family project.
Watching from the Phillipines i admire what you believe in mean leaving city life and enjoying the wilderness...commonly we humans want to reach the promised land without going through the wilderness...but you...again you’re enjoying it and giving meaning to it which for me is good for the consumption of your young followers.
Yes I feel like cooking something right away!!!!!.....love all of your vidios..........they bring peace and quiet into my life!!!!!!!!
I hope that your work will expand in new constructions so that we enjoyed your wonderful and interesting videos
Well done sir! That's good livin' and good food.
I am mesmerized with these lovely videos. Beautifully filmed...just the right combo of solitude, silence, reflection, stories and info. It is amazing how they affect me and how much I appreciate and admire the gorgeous setting... your kindness, calmness, reverence and humbleness . Wanna foster world peace?... start everyday with a Shawn James vid!
Wouaaaah. That's all I can say today. Thank you again. Your images are so vividly capturing the reality, it can't be more real.
Wonderful and inspiring as always. Lasagna looks fantastic. Wish I had the recipe 😉. Thank you for sharing all this with us, you have come a real long way, fantastic projects! I love the slow pace,even though the work must be tough, love the sounds, the silences. Cheers!
Bear meat.....
starting at 12:10, Cali sounds like a choo choo train. lol
Lmfao 😂🤣
I came to say this 😄 so thumbs 👍
It's a wonderful way to live your every day. I really like his fire-fighting habitsand creations.He's a versatile man.I enjoy watching what you cook and how it bakes. I always wish you good appetite! Congratulations!
Great to see cabin videos and Cali, missed her. Love to watch you cook, looks delicious. Looking forward to Fridays, I check it watch them usually on Saturday. Have a great week.
This lasagne gave me diabetes of the eyes and I don't wanna turn back
On vacation this week and got to watch early! Enjoyed the heck out of Alaska... So good to be back at the cabin though!
The best content that always makes me dream and feel so peaceful, love how things are going on!
It seems like families coming over to visit you enjoy your dinner
I was wondering if you and Joe R. would do another vid together I enjjoy both of your channels...thx for the vids man, keep living the dream
Every tiem i watch ur videos i get hungry lol. Your a good cook. One day im going to live like you.
Alaska videos were outstanding but, glad you're back home with Cali and family, missed the cabin videos.
I am so amazed at the great meals you cook in such limited kitchens, I have always had a small kitchen and don’t understand needing a huge one like most people today. Love watching your programs. And of course you beautiful dog out shines you at times. :)
Cali sounds like an old static engine panting away there, bless her, she’s beautiful. 🙏🇬🇧👁
l like it since l started building house 😊😊❤😊😊😊
The porch is coming together nicely. I love seeing folks cook with bear meat! Certainly an underestimated, but delicious source of protein.
That porch is going to be amazing and great for next summer as well. Late summer and Fall are indeed the best months of the year in my opinion as well. Can't wait to follow along.
Bear lasagna... A Michelin Star may be on its way!
Welcome back.
And that porch is starting to look good
My cooking taste more like a Michelin tire
LOL
I really wanted to have some of that food! Love the videos. You can just do it all, it's awesome.
It’s amazing what I have been watching . Since I start watching this I feel much motivated it’s beautiful and kind to stay away from people
Thank you 🙏 I well keep watching this and keep learning
Today is 09/16/2020 from Seattle Washington

You are proud to. accompllish all the that you have done .That's a great thing wow!

Me sinto feliz em assistir esse trabalho maravilhoso ...num lugar mágico de grande beleza !!
🥰😍🤗
I click like and then watch the videos by Shawn these days, I'm so assured of the high quality content after 3 years of viewing.
3DG Designs Me too! I think a lot of us do that. I always get excited when When I see notifications of new uploads from Shawn.
Don’t need to watch before liking his vids. They are consistently brilliant!
Thank you for inspiring me to introduce my family to a natural healthy way of living Mister Reliance. you have giving me an ideal that I can truly make possible. I love your videos. Please keep it going. btw, I been up all night watching them.
the place is very beautiful you are doing well and spend your time working you feel bored and you are alone in the wilderness the most beautiful paragraph when cooking food
Bear to Shawn:...."Am extremely pleased to be of service to you!".
Shawn: "Your service is well noted, thank you"!
Joking aside, the meal you prepared looked delicious.
I ❤️ the buildy ones the most.
Greetings from Yuma, AZ!
Turn on the captions if you wanna laugh at what construction sounds like . Saws laughter , hammering music, cooking applause, lol great job on the deck .
For someone who doesn't like to cook you are Amazing
