Cabin Prep For Fall. (Ep 28) 

I didn’t want this video to end. So many things happening. I hope you have a much deserved fun time with your friends Shawn. Looking forward to your next episode. Cheers from Australia. 👍🏻🇦🇺

the hardest working man on YT right now. another week of highs and lows and you're taking it all in stride. your remark about your lack of "creative editing" is why all of us continue to follow along. it was also good fortune to find the GoPro. have a great week w/ your friends

Shawn, I am just going to keep playing your videos on a loop so you get the RU-vid compensation this channel so rightly deserves. As usual, I am riveted. your content gets better with each new video!

Ha! I love it -- the Make Do Cabin and a door with a mail slot -- genius....and a great kernal of an idea for any other buildings you might want to put up!!

Wow! 40+K subs! Many of us have been following Shawn since he started. The progress he has made, all the struggles and glories along the way..I wait impatiently each week LOL.. Your doing great Shawn, we are all so proud of you. Seeing windows in the new cabin, wow from where you started out. Keep doing what your doing, its a big part of my week.

Sean, if you have a small soldering torch and aluminum rod, you can fix your boat permanently! You'll have to clean off all the caulking really good!

Top man Shawn. Great to see the progress against all the odds ! Make sure your buddies earn their keep when they come to visit. I’m sure there’s 101 things they can help you with. This channel is the highlight of my week. Many thanks for sharing 👍👍

was about to send out a search party!

Closer to winter security...bit by bit. Friends will be a morale boost!

Keep going man don't get demoralized don't let it get you down Sean I think if people want to help you it would be okay if they're helping you with material type of stuff that you need to sustain the lifestyle that you've chosen you're still the one doing the work you're still the one struggling You're still The One smacking your finger with the hammer I don't know it's just a thought but we're rooting for you and we're praying for you man

Don't worry Shawn there is nothing wrong with "make-do" doors, supplies or approaches to building your cabin. This coming from someone who has never attempted such a grand adventure but from someone who is more interested in the results and whether or not they work for you "at this time". There is nothing saying that you cannot rework or replace things in the future but that (at least for me) would be when I have the time and resources to make the improvements I want to make. Personally I think you are doing an absolutely amazing job with what you have to work with. Keep up the good fight and do not get discouraged or disheartened by the 0.01% naysayers. This is your experience and your RU-vid channel doing it your way. If others want to complain then maybe they should simply create their OWN RU-vid channel and do it "their way". Anyhow, love the build and hope you find your GoPro on the trails. Looking forward to many more videos to come! 👍😊👍

Your sheer strength and tenacity with dealing with the physicality of your building project, puts you well up there in the alpha male category. Not many of us in this modern world, are capable of what you are doing. My son in law is a lifelong man of the woods with all the skills and love of what you are doing. Hats off to you.

Had to put my dad to sleep, ehm I mean my dad and I have to go to sleep now. We'll watch this clip tomorrow. Greetings from Finland!

I follow lots of similar RU-vid channels but this one is amongst the top of my list. Keep up the good work and don’t burn yourself out. Cheers 🇨🇦

Hello Shawn how are you today hit the thumbs up button it helps Shawn’s channel

An honest, straight up video. Perfect. Uh, what’s perfect is that it isn’t perfect!

If you have water in boat just pull the plug while you are running on plane the water will drain out. I did it all the time when I had a John boat just remember to put it back in before you stop. Really enjoy the content.

I like the “do it alone” and “do without” and all the challenges you face as a result & how you make decisions and move on. That’s what makes this channel interesting to me. It wouldn’t be so if you had a bunch of people there helping you & slapping it all together. Struggles build character. Thanks for the video.

You’ve come a long way with your cabin and putting it together with scraps and what you have is the way struggles are but personally I think you’re doing a great job. Have it all your way without worrying about others opinions is the way it should be because this is yours.

Dude you got great content since you have non-stop issues thrown your way ! Very clear you have Carpentry skills !

Try raising your roof Joist on you're porch higher on to you're main roof about 16-18 Inch's and then you can raise you outside porch wall about 6 Inch's higher. Good luck bro and keep on keeping on

Shawn you are an absolute beast!! Your drive and determination is out of this world!! Keep up the great work!

That make-do soup looked good and healthy! I get the integrity that you're speaking of on wanting to show mistakes, and also on wanting to do it on your own. Onward and upwards :).

Shawn, impressed that you have 40k subscribers. Looking forward to the roof going on. Keep up the good work

The reason I like your channel is because you do keep it real. ❤😊

All of us communicating with you will keep your spirits up throughout the winter!! I so look forward to your video's, your a champ....

Love the video. You could use the mail slot to aim for bears 🤣

Thank god you’re safe

I have nearly nothing in common with you. I am a woman. I am almost 71 years old. I know absolutely nothing about building. I don't like extremely cold weather. I live in the suburbs of a large city. I do however have a second home, A small cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I too love the forests! Also love your videos!

Seeing the amount of work you put into just moving your lumber pile, I admire your work ethic, I also understand your desire to just document your journey living in the wilderness, but never be ashamed to ask for help. I feel you have a whole new family out here just wishing you well. A good week, well done, but I think the mail slot is a nice touch .

In your next video please include a bit about your food storage like for the eggs, meat and cold stuff! And where are the bears with all that good cooking?? Your videos give me respite from the ongoing summer swampy heat and worrying about hurricanes forming in the gulf…I appreciate you keeping it real too. This channel is really taking off now and well deserved! 🙌🏻

I think what your doing is awesome

A hole in the boat now! You can empty the water while the boat is moving if you pull the plug , just don’t forget to put it back in when you stop😂

You are living my dream. Thank you for another amazing video. I’m steady looking out for my weekly dose of “It’ll-Do-Cabin Show. I thank you again. It’s coming along nicely. Till next week.

WOOT!! Another episode!

Door with a mail slot, nice! Now the Canada Post can deliver your mail via a moose!! 😁

Ahh. , Saturday morning , hot coffee and my favourite youtuber , what an awesome start to the weekend, thanks Shawn great to see your well .cheers mate from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

You are doing better than I could do!!!! Makes you seem normal!

This is my favourite channel atm I find myself waiting for the next episode. Keep it up dude loving the dream

I love at the 31:40 mark where you are ranting about the camera and you can see the fish feeding in the river above your head. Keep it up, you're doing great. Was getting anxious about you with the delay in posting. Probably due to technical issues but always worried about injury etc.

There's a lot of folk all around the world very relieved to see this episode Shawn, will watch in the morning (UK time although currently in Portugal!)

Shaun, your video's are excellent for the very reason that you show your mistakes, setbacks and lay it all out exactly how it is. You are doing brilliantly, persevering through all the ups and downs which is what it is all about. It would be great to see you find a lady to share the experience with you and share the vision and the work. Just saying :).

Here's a little boating tip for you. When you have a bunch of water in your boat like that, go ahead and start your trip. Get your boat up to speed and on plane, then you can take the plug out and it will syphon the water out of your boat for you as you go.

Your videos are so authentic and from the heart. It's admirable that you sincerely want to show the real deal in regards to what it is like to create a life in the wild, starting from scratch. Your perseverance, varied skills, calm demeanor and ability to be true to yourself is remarkable. No matter the mistakes, ups, or downs, we all support you. You do a bang-up job. Stay well. P.S. BTW Awesome healthy soup.

You are human and just you - you are doing so well - must be tough with all the problems that you have to overcome whilst just about everything is on camera.

do what you can with what you got

The cabin is looking great - what a difference with the windows. Well done !

YESSSSSSSS BROTHER !!! MIIGWETCH !!! THANK YOU !!!

Sheesh, I've been holding my breath for a new episode all day. I was half way to go check the weather for storms in that part of the world haha

Haven't even watched yet but so excited, gotta do dinner then watch. YAHOO

Shawn good seeing those windows go in a good week

It seems like a week of frustration Shawn. Authentic. Every day can’t be roses. I really appreciate you showing the moments of struggle and in turn sharing your realistic and really chill way of handling yourself. I’m so glad you found the grow pro. I giggled because I “lose” things all the time just like that. Nothing is really lost, I just forgot where I set it down. 😂 One more thing, we have a place here called the Repurpose Project. My son and I go all the time, looking to find project supplies. This not only saves money and the planet, it helps add uniqueness to whatever we are doing. That’s a really long way for me to say I love the mail slot in the door. Your doing great. Have a great week with your friends.

Gotta say you sure get a lot thrown at you… the truck, boat, boat motors and you take it all in stride. So many people just give up when things get tough. Any way, that’s going to be one nice, cozy cabin. It’ll be great with the wood stove keeping you toasty warm. I had to light wood stove this morning to get the chill off... can’t beat the wood heat! Enjoy your visit with your friends. Have fun! All the best to you

So glad to know you are okay! Or at least okay enough to put out this week's video. And as always, another awesome one! You are definitely my favorite channel and such a breath of fresh air. Thank you!

Been checking all day ,done work let’s go

A cabin with some irregularities has some character. Looking great!

I love how in everything Sean does I can see myself. Yup, I would have done that. Yup, that bodge has me written all over it. Thanks for being real bud. Keep trucking on.

Yeah! Just in time to start my weekend off!

Always speak positive and forgive yourself often. Great job!!!! I always look forward to your videos and updates!! Everything is coming along nicely.

I love this video. What great intuitiveness. This is what living off grid looks like. You need to be strong minded and willing to make do and you do it all. Thank you. Hello from Michigan, be careful, stay safe and God bless.

Blaze orange checked shirt and new game tags ...super fashion statement dude !

To anyone that has negative comments about anything you are trying to accomplish, I would like to suggest that they try to do what you are doing. Armchair critics are the worst. I have been where you are and I applaud your work and ethics. C carry on, good man. Love your videos. Thank you.

Beautiful work ❤

I love that you're not perfect.. And you are not afraid to show mistakes 😊. Keep doing what your doing 🤗

Like your channel, keep it up. Do not change anything.

That 44 minutes flew by. Appreciate ya

Yeah. Good to see you made it through another week 😊

Finally! Got a little worried there... :)

So glad to see this posted! You’re an incredible builder. Keep in mind how long it took you to become the builder you are! It will take time to become a videographer too. So far so good. Love your work.

Been waiting all day...

That's some pretty big loads Shawn ! nice getting all that up there in a couple trips 👍

You could also make an Aframe roof over your deck area that ties into your cabin roof. A main beam with joists at the same 45% pitch . Looking good 👍

Was a great video brother, I'm the work with what you got type of guy also, nothing at all wrong with your videos

Your channel is awesome. You are the real deal Shawn . Seeing all your hard work and even the frustrations are good to watch stay safe

CUT the button of Raftersand put on TOP of roof, . Start at the top of rafter and cut long angle to the pitch of roof, and leave the wall, you might get away with 10’, but 12’would be better. By continuing the roof with a slight difference in Pich will give you all kinds of DRY storage. Remember later down the road try to have 2 years of wood up for winter, so you will always hav a dry Years worth. Nice job buddy 👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀

Solar Pro Tip: Tilt your solar panel to match the latitude that you are at! Flat solar is not using your solar efficiency. Let it face south, no need to move it around. Could solve some of your battery issues.

Hi, thanks for sharing all this stuff with us. I am really enjoying your journey. It appears that you are quite an advanced carpenter. Excellent work. I’m a retired pipe fitter so I appreciate good quality craftsmanship more than most. I hope your finances are improving you need dependable transportation. Are you going to winter over there at your cabin? I think that for you baring any catastrophies would find it exilerating. I’ve commented before, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me, but I want you to know that I look forward to every new vid.

Yay, been anxiously waiting for this

Great video! Glad you found your GoPro!

It was worth the wait !! Excellent video Shawn.Enjoy your down time with your friends you deserve it .

Well done!! Always rooting for you! Keep on keeping on.

We just love your content , effort and positive attitude you putting in to get your project going . Have a great time with your friends Shaun. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Thanks Shawn for another intriguing video. You amaze me with your patience and talent to problem solve and make it work somehow! Looking forward to the next video!

JB weld might work on the hole in the boat

Heck of a lot of running around! Hope you have a great time with your friends! Maybe they'll bring you some Tim Hortons!! :) Stay safe!

Very entertaining! Just be extra careful, stay focus and don’t get hurt, take it nice and easy and enjoy every minute. Love from Puerto Rico

Thankyou Tufte , great program .

I love you just the way you are! Mistakes and all! Truly enjoy your videos!

What a great video. Your Cabin looks amazing. Seeiously. So glad you found the GoPro. I love frogs. Beautiful views of your area. Have a great time with your friends. You deserve a break.

I love your approach to the problems you encounter. Not everyone has enough common sense to see possibilities in the face of the issues we all encounter. I can appreciate your struggles because I have never been handed life on a silver platter but have always seemed to be able to make do. So, keep up the good work. I celebrate with you when you accomplish even small victories. Can't wait for the next installment of life in the great beyond!

You can always use the litter hole for a bear watch a pickle and also if I were you a little information is go get a package of J-B weld keep it by you get a couple two or three it's terrific. Thank you for sharing everything with us

When the video was late, I was worried about your safety. Bears, accidents,... Glad you're OK. Keep it sincere and chose wisely where you get help from. Greetings from Romania.

Hey man! Dont be so hard on your self. The cabin is looking great and you are doing awesome.. And thanks for putting out great content 🙂👍

Awesome! So happy to see new vid!

Hey brother you can use pine sap cook it down to pine tar and seal the hole in the boat 👍👍👍

Just saying hi and enjoying what you show us👍❤️🇨🇦

Looking good Shawn. We appreciate the realness you show in each video, we aren't expecting a professional camera job, even though you do a great job, we are starting to expect perfection with your building skills though, you kill it, even when you don't have the best material to work with. Was happy to see that you finally got the video posted, I too was glad to know it was just a technical glitch. Hope you have a great time with friends and make great memories, it'll be a long winter.

Make do! Yes, the story of our lives! When it is built, you look back and remember each little piece to the puzzle! Great job! Napkin stew 😂!

Hope all is well 🙏 brother

Hey just so you know if you drive a boat with the plug out water will drain until you stop moving. It's useful knowledge if you ever start taking on water pull the plug while you're moving it will help you
