I just finished setting up to work on the log cabin sauna when I checked a message from one of my friends who confirmed that I was supposed to be at his house with our wives for dinner and winter activities.
Thanks for watching!

Hoje a temperatura esta muito baixa, muita neve e o frio está bastante intenso nada fácil para Jemes continuar seu trabalho de construir o desejado cuarto de sauna e os planos mudam para ir de passeio ao encontro de seus velhos e bons amigos.

I've got an old bucksaw just like yours, it hangs on the wall of my garage and cuts blown down limbs and branches into manageable size for me to haul home for my firepit! Nice to see you taking a break and spending time with your friends - "All work and no play", etc. - As always, stay safe.

Hello from Western North Carolina. It's nice that you have sunshine with that snow. Seems like for weeks now all we have had is rain and grey clouds. I am looking forward to Spring time. I enjoyed this video.

@elliebelli9171 5 лет назад

Ooo I want to go kicksleding. Such fun Shawn. You really are such an inspirational man. You actually managed to me me off my lazy butt and things. Tomorrow I am collecting some wood off cuts in the garden and make a coat peg hanger. And as I have a wood burning tool, I am going to do some art on it. Thanks so much. Hugs for Calixx

@jannicetranaker7674 2 года назад

In Sweden it calls a kick = spark

@SteifWood 5 лет назад

The kicksled is literally a translation of the Norwegian 'sparkstøtting', a common way of transport in the old days. Many used them to get groceries, visit the neighbor, go to school or work , but bcs of our 'modern way' of life with road salting/sanding and warmer weather I have now 3 of them collecting dust in the barn (or maybe Im getting too old and comfortable). Anyways, maybe I should send some to Canada?

@karenzaller9659 5 лет назад

It was nice to see some of your friends and family. I do enjoy watching the activities at the cabin. I live vicariously through them. I am handicapped with MS and RA. I was in medicine working with patients on ventilators. But my choice of activities involved hiking down rivers that were dry, fishing etc. So that’s where you come in... I can’t do it so I watch you do it.

@karolmolitor4675 5 лет назад

@matthewstrawbridge7096 5 лет назад

Thank you so much Shawn, your winter wonderland is harsh but beautiful, I would love to experience it. Been working outside in a T-shirt today, sweating, high 20's, not normal for the time of year, but hey, at least it's not raining.

@aaronschuh5418 5 лет назад

thanks for bringin us along!!

@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip 5 лет назад

That kicksled looks like a lot of fun. Rig a harness to it and Callie and you would make one heck of a sled team ,,,, thanks for the take along.

@BraxxJuventa 5 лет назад

Nice video again Shawn. Thank you. 👍😁

@simpletonsunshine 5 лет назад

"Kick sledding"!! In Sweden, we use those on a daily basis, in the winter time, to get around on snowpacked and icy roads. Lots of fun! Us kids used to get mad when the sand truck would put sand on the roads, so we went out with brooms, sweeping the sand away!

@joeyhardin1288 5 лет назад

Yes, have several friends like that... life seems to get in the way sometimes.

@gregoryrapier3021 5 лет назад

I enjoy this video and I like that you include us in some of the normal day to day things of life up there in Canada. We have had heavy snows over here in the Yosemite area so seeing the snow at your cabin I can relate. Keep up the great videos and thank you

@davidingram353 5 лет назад

Family and friends are a parts of a great life. I reconnected with my best man after 20 year living 350 miles apart. Now only 45 min away I see him at least once a week. Keep up with the posts Shawn they are great.

@davidingram353 5 лет назад

I should proof read my comment before posting. it should read, part of a great life.

@fayemarshall937 5 лет назад

Shawn, that was an enjoyable video, seeing you intermingle with your friends. It gives another vision of your life aside from the remoteness of the forest. However I enjoy you doing the things that are your passions, and the unbelievable challenges you tackle. Your knowledge and talents are remarkable. Thanks for letting us share that part of you. God bless you and your family - oh, and Cali too.

@lisat6689 5 лет назад

It’s referring to see a muttered man who has his priorities straight. I was married to one for over 21 yers and he never grew up. I really like your channel . 💜 Lisa from ~~ NC USA

@SilverPigeon1 5 лет назад

That "sled" is a kicksled en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kicksled or a "Spark" or "sparkstøtting" as its called here in Scandinavia. Its a very common item in Norway, Sweden and Finland and its nice to use to transport people at short distances when the conditions are right.

Video after return to cabin reminds me of Red Green sans chain saw in background.🐻

@chrlmlln9018 5 лет назад

For me living in Sweden, it is kind of rare to ever see someone walking with snowshoes as it seems more natural and common in Canada. Here we rather are doing back-country skiing or cross country skiing, and not much snowshoeing almost ever. But we also like to do nordic skating or touring skating with special metal skating on newly frozen sea ice and river ice and the lake ice. With much snow falling on the lakes, you will find kind of "roads" on ice is done with plowing machines ( plough ) so you can ice skating even during the snow-rich winter days! We also use kick sleds in Sweden as you do in the video! Very nice also for older people who need some more support during the icy winter roads, if living in the countryside with no grit added on the roads! Thanks for taking us with you on this special day in Canada! You seem to have much fun, and friends from our childhood is a true gift to value! ATB!

@Alaakso 5 лет назад

Nice to see that those Finnish sleds have made their way to canada. Pretty common sight in rural Finland. Anyway, its allways nice too old friends after some time and catch up. Beautiful sights.

@thegootch2098 5 лет назад

Now I'm going to watch Joe's new snowshoe vid.

@helenalundqvist 5 лет назад

In Sweden we call them "spark", means kicks. We mostly use them on ice and sidewalks that are not sanded. I used to go groseryshopping for my mum with the spark, and I had it with me when going iceskating. I could dit on when shanging from shoes to skates. Dont know if I spell the words right. Hope you understand. Love your videos and your wild, wonderful country.

@greggsanner3270 5 лет назад

I liked this video. It's always nice to be included in parts of your life that have wonderful meaning for you. The scenery was especially beautiful and I learned what the sled is used for and why.

@3rubberboats 5 лет назад

Creating steam to melt some snow? Just noticed that your hat has the same colors as your beard. It is amazing what some will notice. Enjoy your creativeness. Share the things you wish. Another great video, Thanks and have a great day/evening.

Its like completing a Recipe without leaving out a prime ingredient or two, A good balance that's both Enjoyable & Appreciated! As Always my friend, Blessings from Oregon Pal! ... Mike.

You should put at least short pipe on the stove and absolutely need to put stones on it to give that fire a heating load.

Cool sled, wonder if you could have a skid plate on it? Either way I think it's pretty cool. Good luck on your project.

@aliceg9571 5 лет назад

It’s totally up to you. We will gladly enjoy watching you with your friends. As long as you want to share some time with us. I always want to see Cali no matter what. I didn’t see her in the video with your friends, so guess she didn’t make it up there, for good reasons I’m sure. Thanks
