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.

Wow, this is not just another Shawn James video, this is the best movie I have seen in a long time. Calming and soothing and so relaxing. Incredible videography and what an incredible life. Very, very nicely done Sir.

@Gef1804 5 месяцев назад

Yes!!!!! Never stop posting videos Shawn! You do us very well with your beautiful videos!❤

Glad you enjoyed it!

@Gef1804 5 месяцев назад

@@MySelfRelianceShawn! Not only do we enjoy it, it is an accompaniment in this city that we are increasingly alone, paradoxically we are more connected in a network, I am also aware that one day we will not be here and that is where anguish takes over me. Well, you will be a legend and a legacy, that is why you never remain silent about things that are done wrong or those that are not done, and you show us that dreams come true, your sensitivity and strength are very beautiful! !!! ❤

Cali truly leads the life we should all strive for. I honestly think she's as important in your life as any tool you have on your homestead. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.

@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 5 месяцев назад

Gross !!! I've no desire whatsoever to live a life of a dog or any other animal fir that matter. There's zero comparison as to the life and achievements that Shawn has accomplished to that of his dog. Unless of course you are so totally anal you want to lie around doing nothing your entire existence. No independence, totally at the beg and call of a human being , dependent on him for food and entertainment, so conditioned out of its natural existence that it relies ona human for everything. Def not the manner it was created to live by. But for a human to desire to be a dog says alot about your mental & spiritual state.

I find it rather facinating how a dog can lift our spirits just by being by our side. Cali's personality comes right through the computer screen and gives us all a sense of joy. May she live a very long healthy life for all the smiles shes brought to our hearts

Watching her devotion to you and vice versa is amazing. I love seeing the two of you out in the wilderness together. It makes my heart happy to see you guys.

I see scene after scene of amazing beauty, glorious peacefulness, wonderful isolation without being too isolated and cold. Many degrees of cold that my body unfortunately can no longer withstand. Using a outhouse and sauna is nothing I haven't done before but digging my way through snow up to the tops of my knees in the dark is something these old bones and bladder can't do. For years I fed the wood stove when my body woke me up in the middle of the night, that I can do, but not the snow. Having my home stay in the 50's (10°C to 15°C) all day and lower at night would keep me wrapped in a electric blanket 24/7. I both envy you and congratulate your ability to live where you do. It is a dream many of us spend years trying to achieve. Sadly by the time we can our bodies can no longer withstand the elements from all the abuse we put it through trying to get there.

@salliewilson4188 5 месяцев назад

You know? I figured out why I love all of this. It's all so logical and peaceful. I live down in Fort Myers and I miss my cabin up at Houghton Lake Michigan so much. You bring me back to the woods where I love to be. It's not logical down here. It is a retirement area, and it seems like I am living in "Grey Gardens" City. People are rushing to relax, and they are all really bad drivers because they are from everywhere across the US and used to different driving regulations. Anyway, where you are is so very logical. Thank you so much for filling my soul with peace.

I like watching when you come home to your cabin from a blistering cold day to a nice cozy fire, while seated with a good book in hand and caly by your side! I love the windowed wood stoves where your able to view the flames licking above the warmth of the coals! Relaxing gives one time to ponder of what tomorrow may bring, and the accomplishments that bring them closer to their goals! In all actuality it would be nice if you had matching recliners! Of course getting them there may be problematic! 😅

Hi again PLZ READ SHAWN Another wonderful vid and so enjoyed tagging along as always. It is truly spectacular to see over time how you've made your dream come true. What you've accomplished Is truly breathtaking! So special to get to see how you can now really enjoy all your hard work. I see how time has passed as I watch sweet Calie grow older. Truly a best friend through it all and by your side no matter. A wonderful life for you two together. Always smile when you never forget the loons in pics or in song. Remembering years back when I shared my loon tidbit with you and you most always never forgot to share that heartfelt smile I have from times gone by. Thanks as always for sharing. A joy filled Christmas to you and your family and God's blessings in the New Year.
