Shawn James is an avid outdoorsman, photographer, and YouTuber who documented his transition from the corporate world to a self reliant life in the wilderness. He is best known for building off grid log cabins by hand and sharing his experiences with bushcraft, survival skills, and homesteading on his My Self Reliance YouTube channel.

While Shawn does not currently host in person workshops, he offers extensive educational resources through his video series, where he documents every step of the building process for viewers to learn from.

No. The cabin is Shawn’s private residence and sanctuary. To maintain his privacy and security the exact location is not public, and he does not host visitors.
