Who am I?

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 in out in nature exploring, photographing, hunting, foraging and enjoying a 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.

100% wild harvested Canadian Chaga. 

This chaga grows in the wild on birch trees in the Canadian forest and is harvested by hand.

Chaga is loaded with antioxidants and has been reported to have many health benefits such as supporting the immune system and benefitting heart health.  Chaga can be enjoyed on its own, or try it as an addition to your morning brew or cup of cocoa.  It also pairs well with maple water tapped from the sugar maple trees in early Spring.

Disclaimer: Chaga is generally safe for most people. However, it can interact with certain medications (e.g. blood thinners).  Please consult with your healthcare professional before introducing chaga to your diet, especially if you are currently taking any medications.

Gear

One of the most asked questions I receive relates to the gear I use. Whether that be clothing, tools or camera equipment, the tools I use have evolved over the years. I put my gear through the toughest environmental and physical tests and provide my honest opinion on their worthiness for a life in the outdoors.

Cooking over Fire

Food

My love of food has led me to learn to cook. My preferred method is over fire and I am happy to share some of the recipes I have created so you may enjoy them too, like my bannock, sourdough bread, wood fired pizza and many fish and game recipes. Many of these items can be made over a campfire on backcountry trips.

Outdoor Adventure

When I am not building log cabins or working on other woodworking and homesteading projects, you will find me exploring in the many forests and lakes that surround me. I have a passion for nature and immersing myself in nature is necessary for my health and happiness. On my Youtube channel I share what I discover while out exploring so you can come explore with me.

My Self Reliance

Quotes

The problem is you think you have time. The hours have a way of turning into days, the days into weeks, the weeks into years, and the years into a lifetime. How different would your life and memories be today (or ten years later) if you had done that?

Shawn James

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines! Sail away from safe harbor.
