He has over 45 million views on his YouTube channel for sharing his self-reliance knowledge
through frequent vlogs recording outdoor exploits such as log cabin building, canoeing, and
woodworking. Shawn James, according to his biography says;
“Welcome to the cabin. I'm Shawn James, and I am an avid outdoorsman building a self-reliant
lifestyle from a log cabin in the Canadian wilderness. When I am not building, you will
find me out in nature, exploring, photographing, hunting, foraging, and enjoying life outdoors.
In 2017 I began building a log cabin in the Canadian woods alone without any power tools
and documented my journey on YouTube. This year I am building a new one."
Shawn James is the owner and founder of the YouTube Channel, My Self Reliance, a content
creator focused on getting the ultimate self-reliant lifestyle, much like the channel's name implies.
Shawn James is an outdoorsman from central Ontario who is passionate about photography,
canoeing, kayaking, hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and spending time outdoors with his
wife and two daughters. He is an avid outdoorsman who is living the life of his dreams in a
log home he built in the Canadian bush. Log cabin construction, woodworking, bushcraft,
survival skills, cooking, Canadian wilderness adventure, hunting, fishing, and off-grid
living in the woods with his golden retriever Cali make up the majority of his content.
He blogs about his adventures on his website, My Self Reliance, and launched his YouTube channel
in April 2013.
LifeStyle Shawn tries to maintain an exciting lifestyle
as it stands. He is a very innovative and self reliant individual and has proved that
time and time again. As Shawn points out, the gear he uses is one of the most frequently
requested questions he receives. The tools he utilizes have developed throughout time,
whether it's clothing, tools, or camera equipment. He puts his gear through the most rigorous
environmental and physical tests before giving his honest assessment of its suitability for
an outdoor lifestyle.
Food He learned to cook as a result of his passion
for food. His preferred way is over a fire, and he's delighted to share some of the recipes
he's come up with so you can try them out as well. Bannock, sourdough bread, wood-fired
pizza, and a variety of fish and game cuisines are just a few of his creations. Many of these
products can be made over a campfire on backcountry treks.
Outdoor Adventure He spends his time exploring the many forests
and lakes that surround him when he is not building log cabins or working on other woodworking
and homesteading projects. He adores nature and believes that spending time in it is essential
for his health and pleasure. He shares what he discovers while researching on his YouTube
channel so that you can join him.
Where Does Shawn Live? An outdoorsman and self-reliance coach, Shawn
James has a woods cabin hidden in the icy Canadian countryside. Shawn lives here with
his dog; however, his wife and daughters, who aren't as fond of the outdoors, do visit
him at his forest retreat. Shawn lives in seclusion, relying on his well-honed survival
skills and scavenging for natural food. Shawn's YouTube channel and website, My Self Reliance,
document his way of living. The wood cottage is cozy and pleasant on the
inside. A wood-burning stove, which can also be used for cooking, keeps it warm in the
snow. Shawn constructed his home by hand in 2017 without the use of any contemporary power
tools. Impressive, to say the least, this man has achieved things that many people have
only ever dreamt of. Shawn uses metal 'spiles' to collect maple
sap from the nearby trees. He believes the sweet nectar may be drunk straight from the
tree and that he has a complex understanding of the right time and temperatures for the
optimum harvest. He makes his own maple syrup by boiling the sap over an open fire and storing
it in jars. When Shawn and his family come to visit, a
sturdy table and chairs provide a cozy and comfortable dining environment. Shawn forages
and cooks food from the nearby forest most days, but he makes a big batch of pancakes
with lots of his homemade maple syrup when he wants a sweet treat.
While living in the woods may appear idyllic, the realities of everyday life are anything
but no weather, chopping wood, constructing fires, and looking for food are all part of
the daily routine. Shawn's feline companion, Cali keeps him company in his cold outdoor
adventures, and she frequently appears in his video updates.
James Goes Viral News spread when people found out that one
Canadian man had gone back to the basics and had even built himself a log cabin out in
the wilderness all on his own. The Nature lover Shawn James owns 20 acres outside of
Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. After cutting down some 100 trees, he built a cozy
log cabin all by himself. James told ABC News he initially went off
the grid in 1991. But after getting a job and having children, he decided to go into
the contracting business. Still, during the recession in 2008, James said he "lost everything. But
it was a learning experience, you know? I said, 'Let’s go back to basics.'"
Last March, James bought 20 acres of land and decided to grow his own food along with
a herd of small cattle and take care of some chickens. The father of two teenage girls
said it's helped him build confidence. "Building your own home and acquiring food
from the ground and land gives you the confidence needed to tackle anything in life," he said.
James added, "It’s really about what your dream is, and getting off your butt and going
out there and doing it. Stop dreaming about it."
A now-viral time-lapse video captured the 47-year-old Barrie, Ontario, man cutting,
hammering, and building his 10-foot by 20-foot cabin.
