Shawn James - My Self Reliance
Shawn James is an outdoorsman, log cabin builder, and self-reliance educator documenting life off the grid in the wilderness. After building a hand-hewn log cabin from scratch with no power tools, Shawn and his wife are now exploring North America in search of land, freedom, and a life that demands real skills.
On this channel: off-grid living, wilderness homesteading, log cabin building, bushcraft, hunting, fishing, foraging, and the honest cost of choosing self-reliance over convenience. As a 56-year-old father of two, Shawn isn't retiring — he's going further.

Shawn James - My Self Reliance
It was an interesting day! I spent the day butchering a bear that tried to break into the cabin last night and a moose attacked Cali when I sat down to tell you about it… she’s fine, it missed her with its front hooves and she ran it off. Crazy dog!

Well, black fly season officially started yesterday! 2-1/2 months of annoyance begins.
What are the bugs like where you live, are they bad all day, just in the evening or not at all?
