Kevin Builds (Modern Self Reliance)
Hi everyone, I'm Kevin and welcome to Modern Self Reliance! I'm from Northern Ontario and enjoy off griding.
This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle. I will cover a big variety of topics, from construction to meat smoking, and everything in between!
"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas.

(Final edits happening now.) Get ready tomorrow, Saturday at 9 a.m. EST! I had a great chat with Jim who took up residence in the pop-up homeless shelter - a real eye opener for me, and it gave me a lot of ideas moving forward on what I can do to really help.

Some activity at the homeless pop up shelter again. I'm going to reach out, what should I bring - food, water, anything else? New video is now live. I use the same concept to build a pop up ice fishing shack. Great way to recycle these old garage door panels into something useful.

A curious night hiker (?), but no takers for the homeless shelter. I'm going to add a welcome note so that people know they are welcome to use it. I put the Tactacam Reveal X trail camera - which uses cell way up in a tree. Stay tuned! Portable Homeless Pop Up Shelter Video: https://youtu.be/6ZRxT22f0iM
