Screening the Porch of my Log Cabin | Smoked Black Bear Sandwiches

So glad to see you back working on the porch.

That porch will be a great place to have morning coffee bug free. We use ours a lot.

Shawn I am a 61 yo retired nurse with osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. I can’t move around much and have chronic pain and depression. Your beautiful videos, Cali, the sounds of nature and to see your dreams come true through all your hard work help me get through some of the darkest depression. Thank you for so much.

Cali...always wagging and living a good happy life. Someone told me once, “You can judge the character of any man by how he treats his animals”. I firmly believe that. Cheers mate! 🍻

The choice of music combined with the scenery at the end... perfect final touch on this video. Wholesome.. to the point.

Oh yeah, cup of coffee and self reliance first thing this morning, doesn't get much better than this. 🙂

Even when this man makes coffee, it seems an episode of sublime existence. Over the past yr I've been literally transfixed by your videos and even though at my age, I can't exactly do what you've done, I know change needs to happen and I am preparing to do that now. Thank you...

"My human is a good human. He messes around with wood all day. He sometimes loses his orange thing but I help him get it back for him. He gives me yummy nom-noms and tells me I'm a good girl. Life is good" -- Cali.

I love the serenity and solitude of that place. Beautiful ❤️

I swear these videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the time, effort and motivation! Godspeed

Holy cow man, I watched you in the beginning and I can’t believe how awesome the cabin turned out!! I rememebr waiting everyday for an upload of you building this cabin by yourself. Man, even the old Pioneers had a wife and kids to help build but you did it all by yourself. That is a certain level of manhood that I must obtain. I have craved this life for many years but it doesn’t happen overnight. You’ set a good example for all mankind and thank you for all the hard work that you’ve invested into this self reliance channel.

I love the way he lives his life. I'd like nothing more than to leave everything behind and live off the grid. It may be a hard life to live but rewarding at the same time.

I feel like I actually get to go outside when I watch these videos. Refreshing during these times.

That pond is going to be lovely when the banks green up and the water clears. The shape of it is really nice. The sleeping porch is coming along!

I really enjoy when you take time to throw Callie her toy and film her while you are busy, shows how kind hearted you are.

I find peace watching you and Cali living so peacefully.

A person, their dog, cabin in a lush woods, sounds of nature, scenery painted just for you--PERFECT

I enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for making our days bearable on these difficult times ❤️

The drone footage at the end looked like a painting. Absolutely beautiful.

I was watching and listening to the birds and nature, realizing how special and peaceful it would be to live where you live. No incessant leaf blowers, lawnmowers, hedgers, screaming kids, blasting music. Every time I leave my house, there is constant noise. It never seems to end. Can't sit by the pool and read a book in peace. You are blessed.
