I spent years building wooden boats and teaching others. Boats ranged from small to large, some with cabins, etc. Boat building develops woodworking skills and enables the student to produce a useful product that can be transported. Today I am 88 years of age and not able to be as productive but I still possess the mental skills developed over the years I also built a cabin on my 40 ac. property from using discarded wood slats. I also build myself a two story cabin on the 40 ac, farm woods along with two fish ponds. During this time My professional career was a college Professor and government manager. SO MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS CONSIDER BOAT BUILDING FOR STUDENTS ON YOUR PROPERTY TO DEVELOP THEIR WOODWORKING SKILLS. THERE IS LOADS OF MATERIAL ON THE SUBJECT AND PEOPLE WHO CAN TEACH IT.

I enjoyed this; I got much more out of it than I did from many other sources. Some questions I still have are: Did I notice that you cut your poles 12' long? (Why 12') And, you used a drawknife to remove the bark. (Would you be willing to say where you purchased the drawknife) Thank you for the close-up video of how you tied the poles together. What type of rope did you use, what kind of cap did you attach to the top of the poles, did the cap have a hook for connecting a hoist to it, and what kind of hoist did you use? Thanks again.

survival and the pay off of hard work and the feeling of self worth. id say common sense shawn is something that alot of younger people just dont have. teach them to not be in a big hurry. the reward is something you have tasted and thats the payoff. i know shawn you have a huge heart and i can see the love you have for life and simple olde ways. people make things harder then they have to be. if anyone can teach people bushcraft and survival its you! You sir are a blessing to many including myself

I have noticed how your tools are extremely sharp, nothing more dangerous than a dull tool! Wondering if it might be possible for you to illustrate how you sharpen axes, saws, etc. Though I try I never seem to get the edge I want. Maybe I am too impatient but I watched your videos enough to know that you have techniques that I am missing. Thanks for considering the topic. Maybe you have already filmed one that I have not found yet!

I know I'm probably too late, but I think you should teach any and everything that will guide and teach someone like me to be self reliant. Any thing from gathering your own food (in whatever form they chose. hunting, fishing, fruits, nuts, plants, mushrooms, etc, to building a cabin, to survival techniques. Maybe one day I can take a course!

I have been looking at ideas that I could use to raise heavy wood. I am 69 yrs young and love your site and although the body is not 20s the mind is still active. This will help in the days and years to come.

Just what the doctor ordered. Following this eagerly! I was a woodsman for ten years in my youth. I know I will eventually return to it somehow, probably when my career has ended. Thanks for your videos.
