8 Months in the Wilderness with My Dog

Wow, this is not just another Shawn James video, this is the best movie I have seen in a long time. Calming and soothing and so relaxing. Incredible videography and what an incredible life. Very, very nicely done Sir.

Cali truly leads the life we should all strive for. I honestly think she's as important in your life as any tool you have on your homestead. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.

I find it rather facinating how a dog can lift our spirits just by being by our side. Cali's personality comes right through the computer screen and gives us all a sense of joy. May she live a very long healthy life for all the smiles shes brought to our hearts

The Callie supercut we've been waiting for.

Cali has grown to be one of my favorite pups on the interweb😊

What a perfect compilation of what this channel is all about. Very well done.🌲

Nice Wilderness. Its like you have all that beautiful land to yourself, way different than living in a city full of concrete.

My guy going to have a castle before its over, i love all of it... true inspiration

Shawn, I have watched almost every video that you have published. They’re fantastic! Cali has to be one of the luckiest dogs in the world. It is absolutely wonderful to watch her with you. Watching her devotion to you and vice versa is amazing. I love seeing the two of you out in the wilderness together. It makes my heart happy to see you guys.

Watching from Manila Philippines❤❤❤

I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you so much for posting them!

Love the trip down memory lane. I appreciate all your wonderful videos, especially the overhead airborne shots. I am in awe. Great music and nature shots. It’s great to see Cali by your side. Thank you. ❤

Been a pleasure watching you and Cali over the years thanks Shawn!!!!!!!

Amazing to see some of the older footage. Great history lesson Shawn. Best for you and yours over the winter.

The transition from Corporate life to Wilderness/Homestead life in your intro is pretty awesome.

Congratulations ! The film 🎥 is professional done is a plesure to see all episodes

I live in BC but I also lived in Ontario for 25 years and I have to say I really miss the outdoors there.

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho, Içara, SC, Brasil.

Your videos are food for my soul, I get tired of watching the news. Fills my heart with joy watching you and Cali go on adventures. Happenings around the world can make me feel unbalanced. But I can watch one of your videos and it evens it out. Thanks! Hope you and your family have wonderful holiday season!

45:00 таежная, суровая красота! Здоровья Вам, на долгие годы! Красотааааа❤

Awesomely beautiful, inspiring, appreciated...this video capturing your creations and adventures! Thanx for sharing...one of my best subs on KRplus, thanx to you!

Shawn,the nature sounds are beautiful, cali still has my heart,!🏡🐾🐾🐕🐕🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂💯

Finally something decent to watch..

You must of been able to recover your stuff from your external hard drive, so happy for that 👍👍

Love your new build and of course the sweetest dog ever "Callie"

oh so relaxing i remember some of these moments lovely to see the compilation thank you and cali,very much

Roughly 6 years of watching your channel... never once have I been bored or underwhelmed. Always, always beautiful, educational, fascinating and food for the soul ❤

My all time favorite show I look forward to every week ! ❤ Aloha Shawn and Cali 😊 I'm so glad you were able to retrieve all this footage 👍

Loving all the animal footage today. Great stuff!

Hi Shawn,
Been awhile since I've checked in. Life...Moms dementia has progressed. Thrilled to see you and Callie thriving. Hope the rest of your family is doing well.
Many Blessings sir,
K.T.

the KRplus algorithm has finally figured me out. You are so inspiring!

Cinematography is better than anything on TV ..very well done

Now this is priceless to be fulfilled about that will be shared with your grandchildren and generations to come who can enjoy understanding the spirit of who you are and your Passions of what you love and enjoy! ❤ Totally epic Shawn ' great work 👏🦌 🌲 🐻 🍁

You definitely earn your money with your videos on you tube. You put a lot of effort into making them incredibly high quality, artistic and informative. Of all the KRplus channels i am subscribed to, yours is the only one i watch when im ready to settle down for something really nice. You are able to engage people for more than 20, 40, 100 or even more minutes. Well done!

You know? I figured out why I love all of this. It's all so logical and peaceful. I live down in Fort Myers and I miss my cabin up at Houghton Lake Michigan so much. You bring me back to the woods where I love to be. It's not logical down here. It is a retirement area, and it seems like I am living in "Grey Gardens" City. People are rushing to relax, and they are all really bad drivers because they are from everywhere across the US and used to different driving regulations. Anyway, where you are is so very logical. Thank you so much for filling my soul with peace.

Im amazed by the breadth of your skill set. Building, tree felling, editing, gardening, cheesemaking, hunting etc. truly inspiring.

Bonjour merci pour les moments passés à vous regarder vous avez une vie simple et agréable c'est sur. je me suis abonné à vôtre chaîne c'est une vie que j aurait aimé avoir être dans la nature j'aime beaucoup ça être dehors, admirer la nature les oiseaux j'adore ça. Très belle maison félicitations👏 vôtre chien 🐕 et agréable à regarder calme et tranquille joueur aussi bonne journée à vous à bientôt . 👋👱‍♀️

I can't wait to see Russel mimic this video. LOL.

109 days till first day of spring 😂 yes I’m counting

Thanks for sharing been out there couple of years now
Amazing what you have built n accomplished with calli
Throughout all seasons
Gods your strength
Stay blessed

Shawn... this video is absolutely amazing... I enjoyed every minute of it. Thumbs up to you 👍

Recent days have been especially good for me. In my gratitude I had the thought that … “ it could not last”. Then I watched this video and smiled…’so it continues’.

I see scene after scene of amazing beauty, glorious peacefulness, wonderful isolation without being too isolated and cold. Many degrees of cold that my body unfortunately can no longer withstand. Using a outhouse and sauna is nothing I haven't done before but digging my way through snow up to the tops of my knees in the dark is something these old bones and bladder can't do. For years I fed the wood stove when my body woke me up in the middle of the night, that I can do, but not the snow. Having my home stay in the 50's (10°C to 15°C) all day and lower at night would keep me wrapped in a electric blanket 24/7. I both envy you and congratulate your ability to live where you do. It is a dream many of us spend years trying to achieve. Sadly by the time we can our bodies can no longer withstand the elements from all the abuse we put it through trying to get there.

I like watching when you come home to your cabin from a blistering cold day to a nice cozy fire, while seated with a good book in hand and caly by your side! I love the windowed wood stoves where your able to view the flames licking above the warmth of the coals! Relaxing gives one time to ponder of what tomorrow may bring, and the accomplishments that bring them closer to their goals! In all actuality it would be nice if you had matching recliners! Of course getting them there may be problematic! 😅

no phone, no internet
just books, Cali and the nature. Greetings from South East Asia

I'm sure Cali keeps you warm! My little dog does me!

I hope you and your family stay safe , healthy, happy in peace with joy and blessing 🙏

Sean thank you so much for that I would call it a film enjoyed it immensely remember everything tastes better with hot sauce and garlic

סרט מעולה, מאוד רגיש, מלא עניין. תודה.

I see how time has passed as I watch sweet Calie grow older. Truly a best friend through it all and by your side no matter. A wonderful life for you two together.
Always smile when you never forget the loons in pics or in song. Remembering
years back when I shared my loon tidbit with you and you most always never forgot to share that heartfelt smile I have from times gone by.
