My sister and her dog Charlie visit to help skid logs out of the bush. Stay tuned for elk, bears and mountains at the end of the video. Marty: National Geographic has met their match when it comes to you Shawn. Scenery was exquisite. Someone else mentioned in the comments how helpful it would be to see an overhead view of the layout of your homestead. Maybe a drone shot to give a perspective
of where different builds are located in relation to each other. I would agree, it would help a lot. Thanks for another episode. As always, stay safe,

So well done! This mornings video brought me back to the decade+ I lived OG in Oregon along the powerful Umpqua river. I loved watching my dogs play in the creeks, mix it up with the llama's, and just enjoy what few dogs are fortunate enough to experience. The elk were some of the finest I've seen and I've seen a few. Twice a year I'd wake early and wait watching the lower pasture. Almost to the day you could predict when the cows with their calves would drift on to the pasture through the trees coming in twos and threes mixing with the dozen llama's or so who called this pasture home. They'd graze on the different grasses and if you continued to watch the treeline not long after the cows appeared several bulls who chaperoned the herd would appear on different ends of the pasture, always on high alert. They were so well disciplined, taking turns to graze as the other kept watch. Someone once asked me what my favorite day of the year was not knowing that I've seen the elk show, the salmon run, and the bears forage. There's no substitute for mother nature.

Snow forecast for us next week Shawn.
May I share this. We lived in the woods and had Does and their babies around us all of the time, but never a Stag. After 52 years together, my darling husband died suddenly of pancreatic cancer. A few weeks later returning from the bank distraught and crying because they had taken his name off everything I came to the bottom of the little hill just before my driveway and coming out from our place was this huge Stag( the size of the one in your video and a rack as large) I stopped the car, tears streaming down my face. He stopped, turned and looked straight at me. He stood for a minute then continued into the woods. I like to believe that somehow that stag was a sign that all would be well. I had to leave our beloved place in the woods and move to North Bay where all of our children are. My husband was more worried about me than himself and made me promise to leave Nova Scotia and come here. The love you have for your wife and family is precious. Thank you for the lovely videos.

Aside from loving to watch the cabin grow Shawn, your videos of the land are magnificent! The wildlife and country are truly a gift of Mother Earth and you present it so well as the true beauty it is. Thank You Kindly as always!

In the beginning, I like the series but now it turns into sheer Greed, destruction of forest and killing of alive trees to keep a man busy? The idea cultivated to live side by Nature with harmony but since so many new structures are created and every day new foundation laid it seems to someone trying to create all the creature comfort in the wilderness; more to say creating New City?

The Roosevelt Elk on Vancouver island are the largest and MOST impressive!
I have been blessed to see them there too!

Anyone know what the primary advantage is when using really thick logs for a cabin vs smaller more manageable sizes?
Two things that come to mind are more thermal insulation reducing firewood needs and the ability to perhaps add a 2nd/3rd level at some point

Your continued saga of log cabin building and, of course the quest to rebuild again, is awe-inspired. But I am also compelled to say that the footage of that majestic elk herd is among the most exquisite I have yet seen on the internet.

Live there is a paradise! Happy you and Cali can enjoy this marvellous place.
You have made of your videos an amazing movie to see. Did you calculate how much time you need to finish your cabin?
Congratulations and hugs
