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.

We bought an old ranch home a couple of years ago on two acres with the thought that if our grown kids and their families needed a place to live they can come here. You were our inspiration for doing so. We upgraded the junction box, replaced all the water lines and gas lines, repaired the pole barn and small outbuilding, put in a carport by the side porch as use to sit, cook outdoors, and park the vehicles away from hail, heat, snow, and ice, put in a hidden storage area for food, water, and firewood, installed gfci plugs, and put in a new water heater. We are not off grid, but it is the best we knew how to do in our seventies. The carport that was built adjacent to the house was taken in as living space and if needed can be made into three additional bedrooms. We are ready for anything that comes our way. We are surrounded by rivers for water. Thank you Shawn for your educating us these past few years on how to be self reliant.

Still following you at Rosalia’s Mexican Restaurant in SC! Started following you when I was going through a very hard time mentally and emotionally. Dealing with a LOT of anxiety. You inspired and encouraged me. Despite failure. Despite defeat GET UP! Make it happen. I went from sitting in an apartment to now being a land owner (around 50 acres total now). It’s still hard every day but I’m IN THE FIGHT. EVERY DAY! Thanks be to God for putting YOU in front of ME! May your family be blessed. May your fields and orchards and vineyards be blessed. May you prosper and inspire and teach. May you also learn. May peace rule over you all the days of your long life. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Fantastic, that your families are creating this together! I was raised on a farm in Alberta & still crave this lifestyle. Currently, I do what I can to grow & preserve food in my urban home. Thanks for being an inspiration to many! 🤗🇨🇦

[joanngreen]

You're growing and evolving as your needs change, thank you for taking us along ❤your channels.

I've purchased 43 acres, installing multiple wells, solar systems, ground tube -a/c heating, and bio gas for cooking and hot water. Fish ponds, food, fruit orchards, and already producing commercial crops.

Good luck Shawn! What an smart move. You have grown in significant ways while also overcoming numerous challenges. Way to adapt. Thanks for the update!

Wonderful! I'm preparing to move out to our family cabin on land that has been in our family for over 100 yrs. It is on 90 acres in the Cherokee National Forest area and I am so happy to learn everything you show us! I won't have livestock, but I do hope to have chickens and a food garden as well as putting an off grid tiny cabin on the upper end of the land for family. So excited to finally be able to move into nature and be self-sufficient!

[cbass]

You saw in the future you had to do something to protect your family. That is what a man does. Goes after what is needed to protect his family. You’ve done a brilliant job! I know your family feels safe. God bless you and fam♥️✝️

[georgewolff]

😆😆🥰 Sounds like you are building a new ‘JAMES TOWN’ Shawn! Oh, I would love to be at your age and living this dream! My husband George and I used to have dreams like this when we were young….but now, at 74 years old…..I vicariously live out those dreams by watching you. ❤️🥰

[heru-deshet]

You are a jack and master of several trades. I always look forward to your great posts. Thank you for taking us with you. God speed and be careful. 😍

[joannadavis]

Love the idea of having a family compound where everyone is self sustained and taking care of each other. This is my Dream for my family and our future. Just having a hard time getting everyone on board.🥰❤️

[ascensionenergetics]

This is absolutely what the whole world needs to get back to. I’m very glad you have these channels.

[dfoltz]

Ive been watching this channel for many years enthralled with what you were doing and hoping someday i could take a similar path. My wife and I with our youngest son fly out in 2 days to spend 1.5weeks looking at 50+ acre properties to start our homestead on. Nervous? SO NERVOUS, somehow happy and excited about the potential of leaving a 25+yr career with great pay and benefits to live closer to the land and with far less reliance on others to ensure my family has food. Your channel and a few others like Simple living Alaska have been my happy place for so long while i live most of my life in the concrete box dreaming of one day doing that as well. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your videos and one things for sure ill still be watching in what little time i have between chores/projects as we build our homestead! Much love from Florida (my hell on earth weather wise) soon to be northern Maine!

[William-uidj]

I'm subscribing to this incredible addition you'll be to the whole family. You've got quite a task ahead of you. Your knowledge and experience will be a great asset in creating a productive old farm.anew.

[josesantana]

It has been a while since I’ve watched your videos. I started following you back in 2020, it’s awesome to see the growth of your homestead and new homes. Very inspiring Shawn.

[cintie]

I feel good to see you're getting self reliance and good to hear you😊 when I first found you on YouTube I didn't hear a word out of your mouth and I don't know why as a grandma I kept watching maybe you remind about skills I grew up around and that you've got.I dont have the strength to do any of what you do but I really admire your skills.
. I'm American and I'm try as best as I can in the city to do a bit of prepping to.
I also watch CANADIAN PREPPER from time to time.
Keep doing what you're doing and I look forward to seeing your production.
Put God first and he will provide.

[农家日常]

I have been following you. only by getting rid of dependence can you avoid being controlled. You are the first sober person in the world!
