I Had to Take it Down!

- It was about to fall on the workshop, so I had to take it down. The 1st week of spring brings snow, cold, sun, warmth and rain as I finish maple syrup season with my family, go for a paddle with Cali and Nate, prepare the workshop area for expansion and collect rock for several upcoming stone masonry projects.

Hi, I'm Shawn James. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams in a log cabin that I built by myself in the Canadian wilderness. Join me and my golden retriever, Cali and listen to the sounds of the forest in this relaxing wilderness setting. I prefer to keep my talking to a minimum and let the natural sounds of nature make you feel as though you are there with me.

Anyone else thinking that tree was gonna take out that cabin at the beginning of video??😂😮
i was reaaly scared!
Definitely a WTF moment 😂
Ahhh, YEAHAA😮
lol. It was really windy the day before and I was pretty sure it was going to split and fall on the workshop. It was a matter of time
Lol, yes!
I'm happy to hear your wife in the background. It's wonderful that you are sharing this with her. You're both very lucky to have each other
Callie was so eager to go canoeing, it must be one of her favorite adventures.
A number of years ago I did an 80 mile canoe/portage trek on the Boundary Waters in Minnesota with my son. It was one of the greatest weeks we spent together in the outdoors. Now at 58 and him being 30, I think it’s time we do it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Don’t put it off. You never know what life holds around the corner!
GO FOR IT, msioug!!
Yes, please go for it. I lost my only child/son last October. We used to take him fly fishing which we love to do. You never think your child will go before you…I didn’t. Would love to be out in the river with him during a hatch! Enjoy your son and hold him tightly ❤️.
YESSSS!! Do it AGAIN🎉🎉 No time like the present ❤❤❤😊
Can't help but smile when Cali comes on screen. What a beautiful dog.
God Bless
Cali's always completing side quests in the background, she has her own matters to attend to 😂. Thanks for the upload Shawn, have a good weekend and take care.
Nice job bringing down that tree! That was some great looking syrup, and terrific breakfast with the family!
When Cali came up to you for some cuddles 😍
I almost think she knows when he needs a breather!
So funny how far Cali stuck her nose in your canteen to get a good sniff. What a blessing to know her love. And the blessings of the areas you get to share in our beautiful province 🇨🇦👵👏🥰
Cali loves that canoe ride for sure!
Leave it to Cali to find/retrieve a dog toy in the middle of the Canadian wilderness!!
Always enjoy your posts Mr. James. Stay blessed.
Never question you!!!
It's been hard figuring out all that you have done, until today. The overhead drone shot shows how massive your workings really are. Very impressive Shawn.
Callie is a beautiful, sweet and mild mannered dog. She is truly a wonderful companion and friend.
Glad you and Cali are ok. ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🖖🏻🐾
That's a Man right thurrr!!! That looks like a nice life!! Hard work for a sandwich for sure!!! Thanks for the very good video. Callie str8 up understands english that is so awesome
The canoe trip was great! Absolutely beautiful country.
I would love to see a multiple videos on tools. Details on tools when fishing/line weights, lures knives, nets, books, for certain fish etc. Tools used for bow hunting-types of bows, arrows, Broadheads,quivers, books, etc.. Tools for turkey hunting. Tools for deer hunting etc. I think it would be very helpful. Love your channel--it’s the BEST!
You have great respect for nature. Wonderful way to honor that fallen tree.
Agree.
Beautiful video, so relaxing. Glad everybody is safe.
That sixty year old oak would make fine furniture.
It’s going to be challenging to mill into useable lumber but I’m going to try. I found another big oak that’s dying and it’s straighter
@@MySelfRelianceMr. James, this is off the subject of this video but I was wondering if you've started a new channel called "Life in forest". It is your past material in a sped up format. It appears that it was started in January of this year. The description for the channel does not sound like something you would say. I'm wondering if someone is improperly using your material. Best regards from the Desert Southwest!
Thanks Shawn your decision to take that tree down had to be a good one and the syrup looks delicious. Hey Cali! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Good call on the tree 🌳 Better to be safe than sorry ! I noticed how rich the soil looks there around the workshop and was wondering if it would be feasible to use some of that in the garden ,like a little here and there without taking away the nutrients for the trees? Really cool canoe trip Shawn 'It was so funny how excited Cali girl was to go for a ride 😄 even if it was in your friends boat 😂 shes so silly and adorable ❤️ Good to see the whole family with ya and wow what an abundance of maple syrup this year 😃 Aloha Em' its good to see you and miss ya and your Channel ❤ Have a wonderful weekend friends and see ya next week ❤🌲 🐕 🍁 🐻
It’s so beautiful there Shaun. Callie is enjoying her life too. And , She found a treasure…lol❤❤. ❤love her
Encore de merveilleux paysages! Cali ne peut pas être dans un plus bel endroit, tout lui convient… l’eau , les promenades, beaucoup d’animaux à surveiller et un humain qui lui fait vivre une belle vie de chien.
Que la vie vous garde en santé pour profiter longtemps de votre coin de paradis.

Hello, old friend, I'm glad to see you again, good luck🍁🍁🍁
You've been working hard as usual. Glad you take time out to enjoy the natural beauty all around you and take a break.
That was very nice of Cali to bring you both on that canoe trip! One of the best looking dogs on CZcams.
I’ve said it before LOVE Callie! What a wonderful dog she is ! She makes me smile watching her supervise all the activities and construction. It really warms my heart to see a dog so happy and loved and appreciated, you are a fantastic dog “Dad”
You can tell Cali loves to ride in the canoe
All awesome. Thank you for sharing. 👍🇨🇦😎🐾🔥
Shawn, isn’t God’s world beautiful? There is nothing better than a good friend, a loving dog and pure nature. Wow!
Amen!
AMEN also!!!!🎉🎉😊
ALOHA FROM KAUAI 🐻 GOOD MORNING SHAWN and Cali 🐕 🍁
OMG …it’s Friday. Great to see you and Cali camping.
Callie is so funny at one point she was behind a tree couldn't see her at all but that tail was waving gently!
Since that is such a prime location for a tree maybe you could plant a sapling for the future.
Great video, my husband and really enjoyed it, especially the canoe trip thank you
That's hilarious Cali found that tennis ball it's funny growing up fishing with my dad when I see water I always look for the best place to cast a fishing line in hopes of pulling out a big native trout.😊
Shawn!
You have the best friend in the world🐕
Greeting from Belgrade😊
Thank God for giving man such a loving and trusted partner in Dogs!!

Well done, good luck in your work))) 🧡 🌿
@@AsHulias Thank you!
Anyone else noticed that Shawn is F***ING JACKED?! 💪💪
Yes, handsome man , beautiful wife & daughters too! Good looking family!
He leads a ruff and tuff existence. Of course, he's jacked, lol!
He talks about his recent weight loss and change in diet on his other channel
Getting jacked comes with the package when building everything by yourself 😊
Always have.
멋진 고 힘찬 영상 잘보고 갑니다
응원드립니다
Hermosísima familia, y bella esposa
Hello Shawn from Pickwick Minnesota
another great video
Yeah that big tree needed to be taken down or eventually it would’ve fell on your building,
Good video 👍🏼
You know that it's spring in Ontario when it's sunny and mild in march and snowing and cold in April 😂
Thanks for the content
So relieved it was just a tree!!!!
Beautiful Doggy you have Shawn… Love Golden Retriever’s
Yeah, this is what I’m talking about after a long winter. Just get out in the canoes yeah right up there with the good old campfire love it. Here watching Sunday, April 7 2:30 PM. 👍👍😎
Cali is the best dog!!!
Dude! Happy to see you and Kali on line again! I hope the break was for good reasons, Vacations for fun and the like? Not for ailments or sickness? As we get older, I'm in my 60's. One never knows what surprise comes after one's warrantee expires? LOL
I been busy working on my off grid cabin ,,,,,haven't had time to keep up with your journey ,,,,but it's good to see your still going strong 😊
That opening shot - great cinematography special effects tension building material 😅
Me and my wife love your videos! Been watching your channel for a while now. Had the pleasure of meeting you in person at a gas station in BC last September, I was star struck. What a treat you added to my trip. Just wanted to tell you that your videos are what really inspired me to make my own wood creations in the wildness. Thank you for your videos and hopefully we get to cross paths again, and this time I have more to say instead of being tongue tied.
Now that's awesome that u spotted him in your travels and got to meet him. What a great little story 😊
Bendiciones señor Shawn. Me encanta verlo cada semana. Cuídense mucho. Un abrazo y gracias por compartir 😊
Another Tapping season bites the dust. Shawn works so dam hard!!!

パンケーキにハチミツ美味しそうです。😋ファミリーでのランチも楽しそうでした。相棒🐕はボートに乗るのが好きなのかな⁉️
4月になって雪解け水の川も流れてが早くて水かさも増していますね、アウトドアーで活動するのが楽しい季節になりましたね❗️😊

Thank you

Such idyllic country.
Love the video's,
Thank you.
Cali is my hero!! Thank you for giving her a chance at the best dog life available.
Muhteşem bir meşguliyet. Tebrikler.
A rotten tree is very dangerous. Good that you took it down.
Cali was doing her best to help - but now she needs to go for a very good swim. She looks like a kid who has been eating chocolate. Bless her heart - she has earned her great life.
I can almost smell that bacon sizzling! Good ad for Swift Canoes!
Hey Sean I'm glad to hear that your blood pressure has gone down where is Emily is she going to have any more videos to premiere in this year 😊
Great work
Thanks for the interesting video.
love your respect for the homestead & cali is a super dog .following both channels
Reminds me of the Allegash in late spring! Beautiful but ferroish!
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!😇!
Nice drop Shawn! She definitely didn’t want to go that way but you read it right!
The landscapes are gorgeous and Cali is such a good girl!
Lookin 👍😎
So nice hearing your wifes voice in the background and actually seeing glimpses off her with your daughter around the fire .... i think for many off us its nice to just hear her or see a glimpse in the videos ...
