Thanks for watching and Happy New Year! This video is the full version of the 9 minute video on my other channel (Shawn James), which you can watch here: • 2 Years Alone Building an Off Grid Lo...
They both document just the log cabin exterior build, not the creation of the rest of the wilderness homestead, such as the outhouse, food gardens, greenhouse, etc., which can be viewed weekly or by following along in the Playlists on both channels. I'll create and upload an interior cabin video once it's finished later this winter.

I just watched an hour and a half video of a man building a cabin by himself. Today was a good day.
-
I think people under estimate the overall difficulty of such a task that this man accomplished. The strength, the accuracy, time management (seasons, weather, daylight), the mental aspect (being secluded, wild animals, not close to healthcare, absent from family), oh and documenting all of it, editing and everything else that I missed. My hats off to Shawn. “My self Reliance” I couldn’t thin of a better title. Happy New Year!

This man isy hero,I wanted to do this when I was 19 , now I'm 84 and the longing is still there. So I enjoy watching our hero and pretend I'm there with him.
-
That was really nice of you to keep your dog company while she built that entire cabin by herself.
-
I’m watching from a hospital bed with renal failure. Everyone who sees this should be grateful for your health. Take care y’all…
-
His dog sat around and watched him for two years...and loved every minute of it!

Holy smokes sir…I thought I could watch a video to help me sleep but instead I was so fascinated watching a master builder I couldn’t stop watching and it’s now 12:23 am. I considered my late husband a master builder so I was able to appreciate this so much!! Thank you! I read many comments and couldn’t agree more.

My Amish neighbor was a carpenter, and watched him build his house, carriage house, and his barn workshop. It too was an absolute work of art. Few people will ever get to witness such craftsmanship
-
As a man who has trouble putting together IKEA furniture (even with the directions), I am in awe of your amazing skill and hard work. What a beautiful cabin in the woods!
-
I love how the dog is always like “hey let’s play” as he’s digging out dirt and building
-
Вот это дом! Крепкий, надежный, теплый, красивый! Природа великолепная, а мужчина - мечта!!!

My Daddy built the house I grew up in, and there aren't many men like him and you left in the world--you're the true heroes! He passed away in September, and my life will never be the same. Several years ago, Daddy and I picked out a spot on our land for a cabin, but for now, I just have to enjoy others building them--this one is spectacular!
-
MAN...the construction skills you have, foundation, basement, burning those logs, and moving those heavy logs, let alone the fabulous insulation: this will be a toasty warm castle for you. WELL DONE
-
It is mind boggling to see how an extremely difficult task was managed by a single person.His knowledge and ability to use basic tools was very impressive. What the video doesn’t show is how much mental strength he needed to persist to completion. Shawn I congratulate you for completing a monumental job. It was obvious you had the ability to overcome any and all obstacles.
-
I do believe that this is every young man’s dream as a kid we used to dream about building something like this in the woods since we learned about stacking pencils in school lol anyway GOOD JOB ENJOYED WATCHING THANKS 👍❤️😁
-
Not only a master carpenter, engineer and then some, that is one serious dude. This guy is no joke. Beautiful work and dedication to a task without compromising.
-
When I saw you are building your cabin under the heavy snow I remembered my father that he passed away since seven years, his job was construction he was always working under the snow ❄️. God bless you and RIP my father. Men always worked for their families, he raised us with his own fatigue and I appreciate every dad that worked so hard. God bless you again.

This man is a legend! I cannot fathom the dedication, skill, and sheer willingness he possesses to complete this project. I often feel overwhelmed when looking up at my towering goals, but this inspires me to keep moving forward no matter the size of the mountain ahead of me.
-
If theres going to be an apocalypse I want to be with Shawn. This man is beyond a mans man.
-
It is amazing what can be accomplished when you don't have to spend 8/10 hours a day making someone else rich. You've come a long way. Thank you for letting me follow along.Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
