@@GettinOffGrid if you are in a funk and not up to a full video a short (not sure how they are done) so we can send you uplifting and encouraging words. We believe in you.
Loving your Journey! Remember we know you are busy and can’t always post a video since you are just starting out but your short posts go a long way. That way all your internet friends know you are ok!
It’s so cool to remind myself that it’s just beginning too! Thanks for caring and your support doesn’t go unnoticed. I can definitely do more frequent updates, at the least!
Hello there! I’m a cat lady, although I love animals in general. For some reason I don’t think the situation with the cat is arthritis. If it was arthritis, she would still be walking, but maybe very slowly. She seems to have her hind left leg affected, so the idea of a torn ligament makes more sense. Please take good care of the kitty and take her back to the vet if she is not healing fast enough. 🙏❤️😽
It might also be a break of some kind. I had a cat who got a hairline fracture in her rear leg and I wouldn't have known if she hadn't gotten x-rays. I'm wondering if radiology was guessing when they said that or it was before they looked.
I have seen plenty of videos that take place in Alaska, and I’m sure you know just how much snow and how cold it gets. So, my suggestion is that you build a small cabin and insulate it, and put a woodstove. Unless you put some kind of a structure above and covering the tent, I don’t think it will do too well in an Alaskan winter. Also, I have a feeling that you may need to clear a few more trees to protect yourself from any of them falling on your living quarters. Everything is worse in the winter, when snow and ice pile up. I love these type of videos, so, looking forward to future ones. Hopefully you’ll be able to post at least once a week. Best of luck! 🙏❤️🌈
It seems like it's getting quite late in the season to not have started on a firewood stockpile, or a wood stove for that matter. Winter will be there before you know it and you need to be prepared. Take care of yourself
This is a great reminder, and you’re right. It is late in the season and the clock is ticking! I believe in myself to get a stockpile of standing dead spruce and small bush cabin built. It may cut it close but I will make it happen. Thanks for watching, friend!
The editing was on point! Seems like you’re really learning some new things. I would suggest building a cabin of some sort before winter, not only for your sake, but Gracie and sersaes sake too. Can’t wait for the next video.
Thank you!! It’s been a lot of fun figuring out new techniques, trying to capture the essence of the moments out here. I think Saoirse and Gracie would also prefer I build a tiny cabin…thanks for watching! 🤘🏼
@@GettinOffGrid I was wondering about that...was thinking you did an amazing job on the platform what if you did a log build like the outhouse around your tent with a roof so you could still live there but you could insulate better? Then you could turn it into a guest cabin eventually.
Well, well, well, looky looky who is back! I was worried about you.😢 I'm happy to hear that you are ok but sad to hear about Sersha. I hope she is all better soon. Gracie looks happy! Reading these comments, it's evident to see that we all care about you and have been concerned for you Shawn. Stay safe and keep on keeping on!
Hi Sean Paul! I love your videos and your personality! But I’m a little worried about you… The funniest people are often the saddest ones. I know it’s not easy, and you’re going through some stuff, but I know you’re a powerful man. You’ve already done something that most of us don’t have the courage to do! You really need to find a way to get out of your head. Maybe try to build a routine and stick with it no matter what? Do some live streams and talk to us! We’ll make you laugh, you’ll make us laugh, and we’ll keep each other company. When I didn’t have the strength for myself because I was in a really dark place, I fought for my dog and cats. Fight for your you, for your family for your pets, for us!!!! So, try starting a routine that includes cleaning every day. It will help a little with your mood. Have a routine that includes something productive and something fun. You can do it, man! Sending you good vibes, and please hug your cat and dog for me (especially Saoirse in these moments).
I’m praying for your cat regularly. Sending love and healing for her leg. Kudos to you for taking her to a vet so quickly. Great video and we support you in your journey to live out your dreams (while we live out some of ours through you). I’m a huge cat lover (dogs too but I have always had cats) and speak healing and protection over you all. God bless you and yours sir. ❤️
So pleased that Saoirse is (almost) okay. Stressful! Sending her much love. ❤ I got a giggle out of the precise coffee measuring. 😄 Pats and love for Gracie, too. Thanks for sharing your life. 👋☺️
I am the same way with how my living area represents how my mind is. What I found (Sadly I was in my 40's before I realized it) is that I can affect how my mind is, by changing my living area. In other words the more I keep my world clean and organized, the more clean and organized my brain feels. Love your channel and enthusiasm!
I’d say you won’t regret building the tiny cabin, especially come the winter months. Plus it’s a more solid structure for keeping you out of the elements.
Thank you for the update Sean Paul. I with everyone await every video. So very excited to see what you do next. Love to Sorcha & Gracie. Hopefully kitty is feeling a little better. Take care & we'll see you in the next episode. 😊
Love that quote too “if ya wanna make God laugh, tell’’em about your plans” so true. Love your energy and adventurism ( might not be a word) but you know what I mean!😊
Glad to see a video from you been a bit worried about you! You have to get to work on a more permanent structure for winter.! I am really worried about you trying to winter in that tent. No matter how nice it is I don’t think it is good enough for a winter up there. So please get going on a permanent structure for winter! Hoping your kitty gets well soon!
That 5lbs fire extinguisher isn't enough. Have you tried these? You have like 3.5 sec of powder in these, it's only good for like trash can fire. Definately get a bigger one, especially since your future stove stands between your bed and the exit. Have you seen what happened to James Aloffs tent a few months ago?😬 Also always keep a knife at hand reach during the night. No, not for bears but to carve a hole in a side of the tent in case of fire. I speak by experience here, happened to me while in Great North, my tent caught fire and the fire was blocking the exit. 😅
Second this! Everything in there is tinder and goes up in seconds. Definitely should check out @wildhomestead which is James Alofs’ channel, he’s been building a cabin in Canada and living in a tent which caught fire earlier this year.
Hi Sean Paul, I'm enjoying your videos. I wanted to say that I think the cat has a back injury and the sciatic nerve is compressed. I have lots of experience with spinal injuries. If you can get some form of anti-inflammatory and pain killer into her it would be a big help I'm sure. Good luck on your next stage of building. Replacing the tent with a set of walls and roof on your already built floor would be the quickest way to beat the snow and cold. Take care.
I think you nailed it. I developed the exact same symptoms as kitty, turned out lower vertebrae collapsed on the nerves to my right leg. A cortisone shot into the affected area by neuro-surgeon helped calcify the damaged discs, freeing their grip on my nerves. It took 2 months to heal and get walking back. I’d suggest SP seek out a more qualified vet. But on the other hand she might heal up with rest and time.
I love your show or should I say life in the wild. I am starting to worry about the coming winter. Your lovely tent will not hold up in the cold and snow. Not even here in NYS. Please hurry and get something going. You are such a free spirit!
Yes I’m concerned about the coming winter, even if he can heat that uninsulated tent. You need to get to stocking some wood to keep that stove going, you will be surprised how much wood you will go through on a negative temp day and no one wants to be scrounging for wood in the dark and cold
I've done a winter in an army tent just outside talkeetna.... Negative 40 to negative 50 but inside the tent was always 80 plus. Wood is a lot easier to get in the winter IF you have a snowmachine. But I would suggest a secondary roof over the tent, it can snow 3 or 4 feet over a night
Thank goodness you found a vet, I was really worried about you not seeing her go. One of the quickest ways for things to deteriorate is not being able to urinate. As long as she isn't in constant pain, animals quickly adapt and are very resilient. I look after a 13year old dachshund who couldn't walk for over a year and was given no chance of recovery. She is getting a little slow and stubborn with age, but she's still walking 'when I am not looking lol' and very happy.😂👍
Sending love to Saoirse❤. Great “day in my life” video. I was hoping for it. I am sure you have, but look on YT at other people living in tents in snowy climates (Alaska, Canada, Italian Alps), usually because they are building or renovating cabins. Decide what option you can feasibly do in the time you have. Firewood, and keeping it dry, should be the top priority now, and the quickest to achieve. Update us when you can. No pressure.🌲
Sending good vibes, Sersa's way. When you get a chance, place your palm on the area where you believe Sersa is experiencing discomfort. Leave it there for a while. The longer, the better. Warmth and healing energy from your body will transfer to her. Find a comfy spot and enjoy the pleasure of healing your beloved pet. Try it every day for a week. I'm certain you will be pleased. ~tyfs~ ❤
I think you really should start building a house/cabin soon because I suspect that in the winter it will snow where you are so living in a tent will not be as fun as in the summer.
You have such a kind heart for your fur babies! I will be following along with you! God’s blessings! Also love that you make hard things seem funny. Laughter can see us through everything !
Your videos make my day and the positivity in the comment section is making it even more! So much love to go around! I'm starting my day off with a big smile! ❤
Love to see you again! Enjoyed watching ur videos awesome keep up the great work! Soo very proud of you working urself thats very tough job u did it so well! Like a pro! Awesome work! Love it!👍🥰👍
as someone that has a floofball, I hope your cat is feeling better, its adorable that he's so personable and affectionate, ours is Mr independent. Except when its 5 am and he wants food.
So glad it's nothing to serious with your lovely cat make sure she takes it nice and easy for a while, tell her the mice will be still there for her 😊😊, also you said you might be a bit crazy well I think all the best and nicest people are crazy so welcome to the club ❤love watching you love from Birmingham England 🏴 😊
The last two years, the first snow was on Nov 1. I’d say you have 8 good weeks left. The thing that slows me down is the days rapidly get so short working outside. Cold, frost, perpetual darkness and depression covers the land like a frozen blanket of doom.
A cool way to keep propane bottle from rolling around is put them in a milk crate like the ones sold at the building supply with the orange logo. MM makes good roofing. We have almost 3,000 sqft of it. You’re making progress. You need a trailer to haul 16 footers.
Love everything you have done, and Goonies never say DIE! But Goonies… Would put a 20 gallon propane tank in an egg crate of the bed of the truck as they drive down the road. The egg crate plus a small piece of paracord to the nearest tie down… no sliding or rolling. I have learned so many tricks from my blue collar job father over the years, but this trick is a gem. The tank doesn’t roll around that way! Also, for your cleanliness issues, I would suggest daisy chains and many carabiners. We hang so many outdoor items from the carabiners in my basement.
You're living the dream life that I'll have in a few years. I bought 5 acres in talkeetna last year and plan on doing the same thing when my daughter turns 18 in about 2 and a half years.
Great video. Lmao, I love the dish washing method. Maybe I'll try it😂😂😂. Anyhoo your sense of humour is wicked. Going great guns Sean. Locked & Loaded indeed. From South Africa wishing Kitty much love. Stay Safe & keep living my dream 🇿🇦🌍💌💓🙏👍
I just want you to know that there is a life out there beyond Folgers Coffee and this life will blow your mind. I too drank Folgers for years and can’t imagine ever returning to that life.
Hi so happy your doing good. I’ve been watching since you’ve started. Hopefully Sersa heals soon. She is so cute and your puppers is adorable as well. BUT the reason why I’m messaging is because when I saw how you did your dishes by putting it all in one tub which is fine but how you just shook it up like it was a washing machine, I just bust out laughing. My family asked me what I was laughing at 😂 that was so funny. You are so real keep up the good work and take care. From Newfoundland 🇨🇦❤️
I look forward to your videos. So glad the 3 of you are OK. Hoping your cat feels better. Get the roof of your wood shed up then you can put a gutter up and save the water to start with. It's all looking fabulous 👌
I just binge-watched all your video's in one day. I love them. You have such good energy. Starting something without much knowledge is soooo much fun. Think of all the things you will learn. All the new skills you will have. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Like Bob Ross said "they are happy little accidents". Greeting from your new subscriber from the Netherlands.
Yay! So good to see you again! So sorry about the kitty, let’s hope she has a speedy recovery, I don’t think it’s arthritis to come on so fast and so debilitating but as long as she’s toileting ok and eating and drinking, they are good signs. You REALLY need a bigger fire extinguisher, in fact 2 of them as a matter of urgency! I totally understand about getting in a funk, I’ve been suffering from anxiety, depression and PTSD for quite a few years now and it does affect your “housekeeping skills” it’s hard to have the enthusiasm to do ANYTHING! But, a small tent chores list every morning, pick 3 things to get done, no more than that otherwise you’ll overload yourself and won’t do anything, believe me, I know, I’m trying to get out of my funk right now, my house is a mess, I want to do it but just can’t seem to get myself moving, also I have disabilities that don’t help! You really need to get some sort of structure around the tent to help in the winter as a matter of urgency even if it’s just temporary with wooden hardboard double layered with some insulation in between the layers and sturdy roof, also if you can afford it, maybe just buy a few loads of logs in for this winter to take the pressure off of you? I love your videos but getting proper shelter is way more important right now, just give us maybe a short each week and say a proper video once a month to update us? Take care and be safe!
Don't stop recording your videos, pleeeeease. I'm from Brazil, I started using your videos this week and I loved them all, these are my dreams and my future plans, in next year i am going start my project a litlle farm in south Brazil and i going record videos about all and put in youtube to, i go learn mutch with you, thank you for being motivation and inspiration, congratulations from the heart for the work and initiative.
Sean build a structure on you tent pad for the winter. I am glad that it seems to be something minor with the kitty for now. Glad to see you are safe! Love you quote about God, boy is it the truth. Stay safe
Just found your channel and I ❤ it. I'm glad you take such good care of your pets. I admire your determination to live off grid, something a lot of us wish we could do. And one more thing your pretty hilarious. Watch out for bears.😊
Hi Sean. Your little pop up camp looks really comfortable for you, Gracey & Sersha. You are doing great; one day at a time. LOVE your channel. All the best from Perth Western Australia.
It's a bit late to get a tiny cabin dried in and insulated before winter. But what about a roof over your tent decking to keep the weight of the snow off your tent, similar to what your building for firewood? You really need a better trailer system and some trail work to even out some of those high spots before you try to traverse those trails with a full cabin-build worth of materials. The first couple years are the hardest and the ones that will live on in your memory the longest. Enjoy the journey.
Awesome videos !!! Keep it up my man 👍 sending good vibes and love to your kitty from Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada !! Can't wait for the next episodes 😂
Glad to get the latest update...I found myself laughing out loud...the sausage happy face in your pan and Foldgers in your cup....your attitude and sense of humor are awesome! I'm routing for your success! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more! God bless!
Hi, I literally lived in that region right where you are at. We were in Trapper Creek.I recognized it immediately and thought...that looks like Trapper Creek... You WILL absolutely need a large woodstove if you stay in that tent and lots of wood. When we built our cabin it was in the minus 20's by Oct at night. Identify and look for the abundant high bush cranberries that grow there as well and you can keep your vit c up and make some great juice and snacks...etc...It gets COLD there but it is a dry cold, nonetheless, if you can manage a small cabin to sleep in at the very least I sincerely recommend it lol....I had bad arthritis there in my back from the breaks I suffered which was one of the reasons we moved. Now , I wish we hadn't sometimes. Good luck and stay warm...
Love watching your struggles. And how you overcome them. I hope your cat gets better soon! It can be stressful. Can't wait to see you get up and hit the gas!! I know it's coming soon. Thanks for putting up with our random complements. ✌️🔥😎 Proof is in the pudding!!
I just found your channel and gotta say I am loving your humor in your videos. What an epic adventure! I hope all goes well for you and cant wait to see more from you! I hope also that your beautiful kitty gets better
Really like your bush dishwasher. A 55 gal drum /large tote and a plunger will make a bush clothes washer if you tire of driving to a laundromat. If you cat landed wrong the ligament would be more likely the problem. Arthritis doesn’t generally come on suddenly or last a long time. Some tick bites can cause paralysis and I don’t know if the vet looked for something like that.
Hello from North Carolina..Blue Ridge Mtns, tks for video. Love your fur babies. ya you got lots to do on a short time...BUT... you can do it. Be safe and know we all are so excited for your dream here. Much love.....
