Two Years Alone in the Wilderness | Escape the City to Build Off Grid Log Cabin
#logcabin #bushcraft #offgrid #survival
One man leaves the city life behind to build a cheap off grid log cabin and homestead in the Canadian wilderness, including a log home, an outdoor kitchen, an outhouse, a woodshed and a sauna bathhouse. Building mostly with hand tools, Shawn James harvests building materials from the forests north of Toronto, Canada and crafts them into functional tools and shelters using traditional woodworking tools and methods. He practices bushcraft and survival skills every day, including fire starting, tree identification and harvesting, wild edible foraging, fishing, hunting, camping in the summer and winter, travelling by canoe and snowshoe, navigation and water collection and purification.
Continue watching in 2019 as Shawn finishes the sauna, plants a forest garden for fruit and vegetables, builds an underground root cellar, ice house and cheese cave, a timber frame workshop and a remote hunt camp closer to fish and game.

Parece o Artur do Red Dead
I bet the stars look phenomenal from there
this guy took Minecraft to seriously.
No one else thinking about the irony of "self reliance" while relying on pretty much all of society in order to enable this guys late-life pursuit?
Great life ! Shawn thanks for sharing.
his dog is the goodest boy
no land is free, how can he just randomly build on a land without paying taxes...
plot twist, this is his backyard. his house is 100 yards away and he builds this while living in his house.
Where does he wash
50:22 guess you are not alone
My guy actually looks like Rick grimes from walking dead lol

Felicidades ! , ojala yo aprenda a hacer mi casa . Lo ultimo que hice fue una escalera de cemento ,pero .. me quedo mas o menos no mas .
Where did he move to? What happened to the cabin he already built in Canadian forest? Did he sell it or just abandoned it? I wish we could see his new cabin wherever it is.

すごいけど、電動ノコギリぐらいは買った方がいいじゃないですか？因みに小型の発電機も必要ですね！
How can someone dislike this video?
Probably fragile vegans/vegetarians
Adorei ver isso Brasil 2021
Cuting down the trees is sad
That's how adults imagine Minecraft!
12:49 doggo is not amused!
modern day walden
Most of us who live out here in the wilderness don't have anywhere near the wealth to do this.
أحسن 90 دقيقة شاهدتها في اليوتيوب. راحة نفسية. أحببت كلبك
Anyone knows if there is some requirement to build something like that in nature, i kinda have the same plan but don't know if i can just go to a forest like this in Alaska/Canada and do it or if i need to purchase a small parcel in the forest. I ask because I don't really know the current law in these places. By the way thank you for this video, it's truly inspiring and is a synthesis of what I always wanted and dreamed about.
Wow. What is he? Who is he? He has everything.powerful.I feel wisdom.I envy him,Wow.Interesting! So beautiful! This must be my dream.Anyway thanks.

Интересно - он согласовал с лесниками, что он гектар леса там вырубил нахер ?
This man quarantined himself for 2 years just to be back at quarantine again
I could do it just like that. I just need someone to build a cabin for me, hunt, make a fire, cook, and do the laundry. :-D

How much did that land cost? It’s beautiful
Assistindo em 21/01/2021 🤘👊👏
When I grow up, I want to live like him ! But I will have a wife instead of a dog ,and wifi. 💏💻
Sensacional 🥰
hacer mierda muchos arboles, no es lo correcto!
Not gonna lie all the food this man is eating looks amazing!
Also imagine living like this for 2 years and then deciding to go into the city during lockdown without knowing there’s covid.... would be soooo weird
I think the only thing I would do differently is get a few more dogs. :)
ROBINSON KRUZO .
Este video y este hombre, son el claro ejemplo del daño que hacemos a la naturaleza. 5 años más ahi. y habrá terminado con medio bosque. ¿Necesitaba alejarse de la ciudad? ¿O construir casitas y casitas que no necesita?

I want to do this
Collect your reeds for brooms, and what you do not use there are others who will pay handsomely cause they make folk art brooms. These are found in West Virginia all kinds of folk art make a kill for pottery put you own style find your own clay but work the heavy grit out. You can dry shift and use at a latter use get your wife a spinning wheel like in the movie Ghost. You can make a kill for her but you get involved also. Make mountain furniture go bend in hot months of the year with rope cut in the cold. These are substantial crafts for you two since your children are grown. A chair sitting on the side of the road paint a virbrant red or yellow put random crazy painted designs this is considered as folk art. Use those skins to make furniture. We as parents are lost and worry when our children are grown but your seed had been planted and you being older you have to move on even though you do not wish to let go. YOU have to go on without your children. Love when they visit
I do not understand the burning of post before they go in the ground, I see you also burn your boards why?
He packs with Moss then his mortar with straw.
I envy you! But great work 👍
This is for what we are made for
Snow hard on eyes
People he is using birch bark to help build fire at the big rock. The rock holds the heat and protects fire from spreading. This man knows his stuff.
With you skins use memory foam and make signature pieces of furniture. You can stitch the Indian way.
Water running in the sun has less parasites if you can boil.
Your left over copper pieces make a wind chime or wind mill. Copper piece that has your last name.
Where did you get your solar panel’s?
Is that mortar or concrete for your cooker with rods sticking up, I saw later you built a fire and you sat a pot on the pegs fire coming up a hole for the pot.
I did not catch why you had to tear down the round top structure. You didn’t have to give up your whole place did you? If so that is cruel of those who did that to you.
Get a cattle drinking tub to bathe in, easy to transport for batheing outside. Get referbish tub trucked in from salvage inside the house. I been trying to figure how the easiest way and quickest to screen my porch in you taught me. See I can’t put staples in at top because of plastic sideing, I was going to frame by screwing wood at top. But measures all around I will make your way you laid out framing on floor then you put screen then with same measurements you put frame again on top of screen seeing to keeping screen taunt. Thank you for your way. I put 4 by 4 post on porch and framed to have a door on porch so now I need to put screen I tried putting screen up against wood I had made that was a horrible look it had sags I landed up ripping it down. Doing it your way I can make it taunt before inserting. I am a woman who grew up on a farm building with my papa I love achievements. And people saying wow, like you said mistakes I have made so framing all measures are different. I built a privacy wall between my apartment and neighbor, no one who has lived next to me cares to improve where they live but I have lived here since 1999 because it was the cheapest way for me to raise my daughter by myself, I was a foster child and did not want my daughter separated from her parent. Have you DVD’s of your work you should.
This movie relaxes me.
This man is for sure gonna survive the coronavirus
Yes， it certainly does not impact his life. No government to control you, how great is that?
Ron Swanson would be so proud!
