My wife and I cook a traditional thanksgiving meal on our wood cookstoves in our off grid log cabin for our daughters and their boyfriends. Everyone tries out various bows and arrows on the target range while Cali the golden retriever makes the rounds for attention. Log Cabin Building, Bushcraft, Survival Skills, Cooking, Canadian Wilderness, Off Grid Living, Homesteading Hi, I'm Shawn James. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams in a log cabin that I built by myself in the Canadian wilderness. Join me and my golden retriever, Cali and listen to the sounds of the forest in this relaxing wilderness setting. I prefer to keep my talking to a minimum and let the natural sounds of nature make you feel as though you are there with me.

Thank you Shawn for sharing such a personal and real moment with us your fans! For me to see you and the family gathered at the Cabin is almost like the culmination of all you've worked towards. I know there's still much you have planned, but what you've achieved thus far is a family environment that brings everyone close together in a home. Just a thought, maybe time to start thinking about building guest cabins. LOL! Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanks giving and Christmas season. With regards, Mark (South Africa)

This is what life should be special moments in time creating memories for a lifetime
Absent of news, politics, TV’s and phones. ( this looks blissfull, peaceful without the constant news/politics pollution that most of us consume on a daily basis)
Thanks again for showing the most important things in life aren’t simple, aren’t boring but genuine meaningful humility not arrogance Bravo!

Most people would never think it a great experience when entering their home or leaving by the front door, but you have the ultimate experience of living life to the fullest. To walk into a home where much blood, sweat, and tears were shed, and where the surrounding area is so breathtaking, is a true reward. You and your family have a beautiful life!

Money can't buy this type of happiness. What a beautiful family dining together in the wilderness away from the hustle and bustle of life in the peace and tranquility of nature. Many can only dream of this reality. Thanks for sharing. I am moved with emotions.

Thank you. I’m getting pretty old now but have lived vicariously through you dear man. You have brought me so much fun, anticipation and peace through the years and I would like to thank you now.

Looks great and the video is beautiful as usual. Happy Thanksgiving! You could do quite well selling some of the stills from your vids. Think little clips on one of those video type picture frames.
reply

Dang what a beautiful day and family you have lots to be thankful for, looks like all is well in your world, hope Emily is doing well, haven't seen much out of her, hope those boys are worthy
reply

2 things I can't understand.
Can you build a house like this, without a building permit
Security - what's to stop somebody smashing their way into the house, with bad intentions

reply

We dont see the part where you took those boys to a walk. where you showed them your shotgun. and made them know that the shotgun will never be used, if your daughters are treated well.
reply

Watching from NYC. Now this is called living and enjoying the one life that we have to live. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Keep up the magnificent work, keep the vids coming.
reply

That is an amazing house you have built!
And I personally loved watching the entire video without anyone with any smart devices! Love it! Just enjoying eachothers company!

That's Heaven on Earth! My Brother. Having such a loving family and such a Beautiful place. What more can a man ask for May the Good lord always bless you and yours.
reply

It has been a long time since I watched your videos. What a nice family and gorgeous region. Cali is growing older in such a beautiful environment. Happy Thanksgiving.
reply

You are a truly blessed man Shawn. Just sit and observe the world that God has given you and the skills needed to achieve such blessings. You have much to be proud of.

Shaun, thanks so much for sharing your Thanksgiving with us. I would sure love to know if that was a store-bought or harvested turkey. It looked delicious.
