I quit Facebook sometime ago and never joined any other social platforms. They are the worst part of the Internet.

Some people just don't have a life and are down right jealous of others. Family first always!

Haters are always going to hate Shaun, particularly when they don’t understand. You can’t let that dissuade what you’re doing. As you say, the majority of us get it. 99% of us would love to do what you’re doing. So, keep on trucking. 🇨🇦

My grandfather was a forest ranger in the Black Forest for 50 years, and he used to come to visit us in Chicago when I was growing up. No matter where we went in the US, walking in various forests, he wouls say "Americans don't know how to care for a forest These are not healthy forests."

You are being a good steward of the land an of the forests.

Shawn, Isn't it something that in this day and age we have to defend our beliefs from people who don't take the time to educate themselves first before trashing people's way of life. It tells us a lot about where our social structure is headed. We have been thinning out our trees and am amazed and how much regeneration has begun already. Very heathy for the land. Keep up the good work! Greetings from the Arrowhead.

I understand Shawn. Security becomes more and more important. Take care and stay safe both you and your family. I wish you the best.💝

[VanOrdenHomestead]

Please don't allow the haters to impact your messages. Most rational people understand and admire what you are doing because it is authentic to the human condition for long-term survival. Keep up the excellent work! Thank you for all you do; I learn so much!

[jrock]

Shame you’re going to have to scale back your talks with us. Always so educational and have learned a lot from them.
Do what you have to do to keep the family and homestead safe though.
God bless and keep you and yours Shawn

I have reported twice a channel that has been posting your videos, if they go that far they'll go even further sadly.
I learned a long time ago how cutting down a tree isn't a bad thing especially in a forest setting, how it gives space and life to the saplings. How some trees are diseased and cutting them down to utilize their wood is a good thing or leaving them to fall back into the earth. Another channel said their forest was a regrowth from logging. This info is super educational. We rub elbows daily with clueless people (I'm being nice)

[joanneforrest]

What is wrong with people? Are they that screwed up that posting other peoples details makes them happy 🤷‍♀️. Sorry you have to go through this.

[Nannygoat]

Shawn you do what you have to do. We all love your family and want you all to be safe! If you never post again l want to say thanks for all these years. You have been my hero.
God bless and see you down the road.

[jeanculey]

I will never understand why people seem to feel they can make negative comments about someone else's journey. You have a right to pursue the quality of life that is most expedient for you and your family. Frankly, I am not a great lover of chopping down too many trees, however, I understand the value in what you are doing and it would seem to me you are being proactive and ecologically friendly!
