What a Difference a Day Makes! | Off Grid Log Cabin Sauna Ep 9 

x xx well said

I couldn't have said that any better!

Unless it's a comment or a tip on construction, like a different or maybe better way to do something, I too have a hard time understanding negative comments and thumbs down. Folks come here of their own free will. Nobody forces this channel on you. If you don't like it, just don't watch it.

A hunt isn't just going out n dropping an animal.. They who wish to be armchair critics need to get off of their butts n slog thru the woods to " work" a hunt n then see the effort needed to process all of that harvest n then how to store/ preserve that harvest, then how to prepare it for consumption.. Yup.. Not like going to Mikie D's( the golden arches) n pickin' up a burger! Thanks for sharing! ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida!

Here in Italy, watching construction is a national pastime. A crane or a forklift with attract a crowd of people who will just stand with their arms folded watching.......🤔

Fat Dog Skillet That's awesome, congratulations!

get back to doing what you love !

great news..i hope you finish your projects and live a healty life.

Fat Dog Skillet....I'm sorry you have to go through that...bless you man. LOL Judie

Kick ass!

I really appreciate your showing us what life was like just a year ago. You have come so far! Feels good to acknowledge your progress in these projects. For me, it's a real motivator when I look at my photos and see how far my husband and I have come in setting up our cabin and getting the landscape around it cleared to make things nicer, more comfortable and more manageable. That's why I got really excited to see the work back then like getting the roof on, getting the woodstove working on that stone portion of your floor, getting a wood floor put in instead of a dirt floor, getting moss stuffed in between the logs, getting a door put on to keep the cold out. So many more things which followed like the cold box, the kitchen sink and shelves, the table, the outdoor kitchen, all the things which you have done to make your place a home. And now the sauna which I think is part of making things nice for the wife. That little review from a year ago was the best part , but then again there are many favorite parts in each of your videos. What a difference a year makes! I agree with Moira, well done!

i feel the same..and I'm 77 years old.a lady that has always wanted a log cabin and a horse...I know how you feel,but just watching this makes me feel as though I'm there too

every video gets dislike no matter how good it is

I'd bet the dislikes are from anti-hunting folks.

@@fredbennett5044 probably haha

@@billybunter3753 a bit of a fraud??? A man who went into his own woods that he bought and built a log cabin with basic hand tools is not a fraud. What makes him a fraud?? He has his shit together and went and did what he wanted and has great messages for people to reflect on and think. I could only wish to do something like this and one day I will! I'm a country boy as well and i would never say that Shawn is a fraud one bit.

@@77moonwalker77 Shouldn't be like that.... But, I guess there's always a jealous people out there...

Woke up to the same this morning here in Montreal. It's beautiful but I'll bet it's even more beautiful at our camp. Next year we'll be able to stay over winter.

In Ontario too, trade you places for a week, always liked Boston.

Exactly. Trophy hunting is evil. Subsistence hunting is life.

Sounds miserable haha. You can dress for the snow...not so much the heat

johnWcyne That is very true. But all chiding aside, once you get accustomed to it, it’s not all that bad. And, I save a lot of money on clothing and gear, lol.

I would love to have those hot Thailand days, I hate Estonias weather haha, 8 months of chilly cold weather and then 3 months of mediocre summer

Bet its stunning over there iv always wanted to go there.

You need 4 seasons and a good snow in your life.

Yeah and Alaskan bush people.

I watched that show until one of the main men that was filmed was charged with beating his wife and abusing her for years. She left the show and moved to BC to start a new life. When the show continued to support him, I simply couldn't watch it anymore. If you watch the show you will likely know who I am talking about.

Ocean Master Same here

That is almost exactly where I started, too. Maybe one video later. It is amazing what he's gotten done!

Thank you :)

@@MySelfReliance i think i can speak in the name of anyone around here, and say "Oh no.. Thank YOU!" :D

That's awesome!

That is wonderful!

Thanks you and best wishes

To all of us. I never new how I find this channel . But ever since , about a month ago , I always looking forward. I had a heavy on my heart. It disappear, Because it is so relaxing it keep my mind away from problems in life. God bless Shawn

Lol

A “trophy” means one puts value on the game they hunt.....why would anyone not want to value the magnificence of a game animal? I have shot many small deer and elk, with my homemade bow and arrows, all were “trophies” to me. When I have shot huge trophy bucks, I ate them just the same, just as all my hunting comrades do, there is never any “waste” just because the buck was a monster. I can never understand how people that don’t understand hunters or hunting get the weird idea that being selective, refusing to shoot small deer, holding out for a big buck, a trophy buck, and as a result going without year after year, not killing lesser animals, then one year after years of trying, finally bagging the buck of your dreams, and then honoring that animal, putting great personal value on it and considering it your true trophy.....why someone thinks that’s a waste is beyond me and only shows a total lack of understanding.

Katherine McChesney , ive been out hunting and found deer carcasses with the head missing or the horns cut out. That is wrong. That is the trophy hunting that people talk about. Its fine to go after a 12 point buck, but dont just go out so you can have a head on a wall and not do anything with the meat. Donate it to a shelter, eat it, give it to a family member but dont just hack off the antlers and leave the rest to rot.

As a longtime bow hunter/ bow fisher, the concept of " trophy" was the harvest... Period! You brought home what you bagged, cut, gut , n prepared it either for storeage or dinner... Tanned the hides, used the antlers/ bones for field tools n that is how you the " hunter/ fisher" honor the animal. The elders that taught me this had n still do this today! That is how n why they are called " hunter/ gatherers", n not " plinkers", or " weekend warriors".. Respect for the land, all who swim , fly, n walk the land, this is the way I was raised n how I raised up my kids! Thanks for sharing, n ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida!

Beast Man: what you describe is not trophy hunting in any way shape or form. What you describe is poaching which has absolutely nothing to do with so called trophy hunting. Wasting a game animal is illegal in all 50 states and most civilized nations. Selective hunting for an outstanding animal is legal and often encouraged in all 50 states. Lots of states actually have antler restrictions that prohibit shooting small bucks and have areas where only mature three or four point bucks may be harvested. Also lots of states restrict hunting to bucks only and does may not be harvested. A trophy is always and only in the eye of the hunter, whether the animal is large or small. Illegal activity that you describe is the antithesis of the true selective hunter (what some negatively refer to as a trophy hunter), who sacrifices year after year in pursuit of an animal that has matured, lived out it’s life, passed on it’s genes, and now only awaits a slow lingering death of starvation from loosing it’s teeth or a painful death of being ripped apart and eaten alive by a predator. A selective hunter that lets the young deer live their lives, lets them grow up to be deer and run free and live long, and choses by self restraint to harvest a buck when the buck has lived long, passed on his genes, and lived his life, and only then chooses to harvest such an animal, and then uses the meat and further honors the animal by placing the horns in a place of honor for the rest of that hunters life....he honors that animal. He doesn’t judge another’s trophy, he knows the forked horn rack on the shed can be as great a trophy and memory as the massive old buck as the selective hunter grew into what he is as well and was young once and used to harvest immature animals, and was proud of his accomplishments and even a doe was a trophy to him, and still is if required to go that way. The ignorance of people who try to chastise a selective hunter because he puts greater honor and is more selective, and may very seldom even harvest an animal is bizarre. Trying to blame the illegal activity of some meth head who wants to sell some horns for drugs and poaches animals at night with spot lights and cuts off their heads is a ridiculous comparison to a selective honorable hunter.

Robert Martin , you missed my point. When people think "trophy hunter" they think of people that only hunt for a head on a wall or bragging rights. You are right, there are real trophy hunters that do what you describe. But most people that dont hunt perceive trophy hunters as the person that goes out only looking for a head to hang. Maybe i didnt make that clear.
