It's been a typically busy spring and the weather has been ideal for growing food in the forest so far this year.

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.

I live in a small community/subdivision. For the first time in a long time, I’m starting to grow some of my own food. It feels good to do that.

Gardening is Life giving, supports good health and is good for your mental health and Peace OF Mind. Oh yes, fishing is something a lot of us look forward to. Take care.

Here's the deal Shawn. 2M of us cant be all wrong. Many of us have watched every video you have produced. You create whatever you think tells your story. Some we like better than others but collectively you have told a world class story and we love it. You are an all star and we are better off for it.

Love the gardening personally. The younger kids should realize, if they want to be self sufficient, learning to garden and manage the landscape around you is essential. Plus it's relaxing, I love going out to my garden and managing it. Thanks for the videos Shawn!

Younger guy here. Gardening videos are some of my favorites of yours. Makes me dream about putting down roots and nurturing something to leave for my kids and grandkids. I loved the hugelkultur you built in some of your original food forest videos. Also your moose fence in the meadow by the new cabin.

So up here we have a banana-belt for growing. Shawn, I sure appreciate all your videos; every single one, and the experience and knowledge you teach. Regards from far north California

The garden is where I express my creativity and appreciation to the land that sustains us. It's where I found solace and science as a child. The woods as well. Without them I could not have survived long enough to raise a happy small family that brings abundant joy and all the love I'll ever need. Your home and gardens are a testament to your hard work and determination to provide for yourself and your family! Absolutely doable if one is willing put in the time, stay on task, and be grateful for all the things that give meaning to life. Your skill recording all your efforts is a gift to all watching. Thank-you for sharing the inspired content it provides❤.

This is what "homesteading" is about, it's NOT a dear camp or weekend retreat. There is always lots of diverse work. Construction is just a small part. Shawn I've watched this channel almost from the beginning. I've learned many things that I never even thought about. Great job, thanks. Questions, can the chickens eat the lupin seeds? How are the owls doing? Have they fledged yet? ;-

@MySelfReliance 3 месяца назад

Thanks. The owls have fledged and we only hear them calling from back further in the woods every few days now. I don’t know about the lupine seeds so I didn’t give them to the chickens, I’m burning them in the charcoal kiln so they don’t germinate.

At 67 years old now I get the most enjoyment out of my garden and canning. Shawn you have a beautiful homestead and a lovely garden. Thank you for putting out these extroidinary videos.

My wife's parents had a cabin on a lake, the property had fiddle heads, mushrooms and, best of all, wild strawberrys covering the slope behind the house. I dug up a dozen or so berry plants and planted them in my raised bed garden at home. Tiny fruit, but there was more flavor in a handful than in a quart container of those huge 'Franken-berries' sold in stores...😛😜🤪

nailed it with your guess for the 22nd 5:15am sunrise .. yup the young dont yet understand what it really means to coax nature to your maximum benefit have you thought about using some of the chicken run as a grape arbour ... a few plants along one or both sides that are run up and over ... they would provide some shade fr the birds and bugs as well and even a few grapes ....I would suggest concorde grapes ...as they are a tasty wine and snack any time

That’s exactly what I planted there, and on the fence there’s a three year old grape that I’m going to train over to the run as well.

Gardening some people think throw some seeds in the ground and produce food. Sometimes, but to constantly have food you have to know and recognize the deficiencies and help the process get to the food production. There's no difference when learning to hunt or fish for food, time input is needed to ensure food production at the end. Thanks again Shawn. Thanks for the tip pruning today!!

Greetings from the Faroe Islands. This was a fun and informative video and I have to say I completely agree with getting your hands dirty, growing and harvesting etc. I work as a butcher which opened up my eyes to this way of living - being able to sustain myself on all that I can grow and hunt. The food truly does not get better and of course the pride in one´s work. I´m 33 years old and was inspired to start growing my own potatoes, rhubarbs, berries and such. It´s difficult to imagine a better way of spending one´s time than in the outdoors doing this and living this closely to nature. I´ve had people asking me why I do this rather than simply buying the various food items, and the answer is super simple: Because I can and because I want to. Granted, our climate does not permit me to grow an abundance of things (average temperature is 10-12 degrees Celsius, and it rains like crazy) but what I can, I do. Next up, chicken coop 👍. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Shawn, I am not one that is writing often comments in your channels but I am watching your videos with interest. You are very good in all you are doing, my compliments. I studied agriculture so why I would like to tell you something. I was surprised to see you cutting apples and other trees! As I know apples should not be cut at all because it is not good for this tree. And generally trees should be cut between February and March, when the tree is still sleeping and not in the active period now. When you cut and clean these trees now you make the tree open to get some illness with rain or insects that will go to drink their nectars! Imagine you cut your finger and leave it open, surely you will get some infection. The same is with the trees, be careful with them. You can clean only some leaves with illness but in all these cases with illness, trees will need some treatment and better ask some specialist for it.
