Robert Stalets that's a helluva tough story ......I'm very sorry for your loss the arbitrariness of life is shattering.... I send you my best wishes

Sorry for your loss brother. Hope you can find peace.

rob dog Thank you sir

lance nelms Thank you sir

Ante Mandaric Ante Mandaric I appreciate your concern but was very troubled and offended you would preach to me after what I shared. I shared what I did in a knee jerk reaction to difficult grief in my life , late at night after being stirred to memories me and my boy shared from watching this video Grief is not a sign or signal for you to jump and try to convert someone Don’t you know that Jesus rebuked the church of that day for doing and acting the same way ? Your reply to me that my heart is a heart of stone and I need the Holy Spirit and conviction of my sins ??!! Are you serious ? Let me explain something to you even though I maybe should be bigger and just let God deal with you I have been a Christian for 35 years with a much stronger testimony then yours. What makes you think I need saving ? Because I spoke out my grief ? Because I said I didn’t know what my purpose is now ? I’m not a perfect man by any stretch as neither are you and yes I’m still in grief as I loved my boy with all my heart My hope of seeing my boy again is the hope I hold onto and the kind of real faith that’s required to live through this. I’m sorry but people like you give the Lord a bad name. Jesus said don’t tell people you love Him SHOW them. If He gave you a new heart then I suggest you use your heart to respond to people not a drive to tell people how to get saved. Jesus said it is the Love of God that draws men NOT judgment. You passed judgment and expect anyone to respond ? It will never ever happen. You put that religious reply on here for the world to see as a representative of Jesus Christ and your word is I have a hard heart and need to repent ? It would of been completely different if you would of used a scripture to comfort or encourage Then if I wasn’t a Christian believing man maybe I would think about it or contemplate it But to jump right into someone tell them how bad you were then how good you are and tell someone their heart is hard when all they are doing is grieving is, well, uncalled for and out of place Jn 5:39. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet scripture points towards me Please don’t respond as will only make it worse. Don’t represent yourself as a Christian unless you do so with the love of God in your heart. Then from the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak what God wants Otherwise the Bible says your a sounding gong

Indeed. Such a good boy. And such a good listener!

my parents just got 2 male brothers, 3 months old. Golden retrievers are awesome. I'm getting a king shepherd, just one though.

wasn't there a person there filming this?

Notice the Drone footage near the end WHILE he was paddling away? :thinking emoji:

Verdade.

All of it! Great work

I'm liking it so far, but why can we only get it in 380p? It looks fine on a tiny window, but not good at all fullscreen.

Richard Trujillo probably hasn’t finished processing yet. Is anyone else having that issue?

@@MySelfReliance Yes Shawn, I can only see in 360p. Looking forward to it though

do not speak English, but even so I understand more or less what happens! thanks for lo s videos!

Exactly my toughts 😎

@@tava7760 probably because the dog will react and start barking if a bear comes near, hopefully scaring the bear away. Dogs have always been more than just a companion.

If you think about it, it’s literally the most wholesome way of life, you take what you need, and do the best with what you got. A far better lesson than what the city life teaches us

Same here

I thought the exact same thing

He should edit it a make it just 20 min.. Or divide this 1 hour to 5 videos. Maybe he wil much more views

what breed of dog is that

True, Some films these days are very disturbing but this one is the most beautiful ive seen so far

Amen to that

You truly can never tell when you create something that touches another living soul. What an incredible feat Shawn has accomplished. My father is also quite Ill, and would have loved to do this in his youth.. Your comment brought tears to my eyes, you seem so positive. Happy Holidays and may you have a fantastic New year friend.

Happy holidays Larry! Get well soon!

I wish the Creator bless you and give a brand new life with a lot of health

Greetings from brazil

I hope you will have time to catch many more good and kind moments in your life. I am from Russia and would just like to wish you and your family health and strength. Happy holidays to you.

There was a video about a transgender kid as No.1 i'm not sure if this type of content youtube is proud of

love the shots with the birds. Must be a calm presence to have birds eat out of your hand like that. Gotta say, need more doggo

@@Jacob-ke6cj yeah look at trending now....transgender makeup tutorial, rap videos glamorising drug use or dealing, or just bullshit about fortnite or kids being jackasses. That's youtubes recommended nowdays

I was going to use the word EPIC, but you already did. Good call.

Nah, makeup tutorials, newest Cardi B production and some Swedish dude playing video games are what deserve to be trending, always.

Me and my family.

me - wow

me lol

Yep!

🤡

true.

Thats true man 🤠

So true

Ever seen a movie?

Very true. 👍

So true! As a kid, I used to go camping with my family. We would have "survival" style camping sometimes but no where near like this and boy do I wish I could do this now!

Well, clearly it's not all lost if there are people like him around.

im going to live like this one day, its real freedom.

Guys, he isn't living out there full time, he ha a family back in town where he spends most of his time, look closely at the cabin, hardly any personal items or food there, I was fooled too for a bit.

@rick roehler ok boomer

it's crazy how you don't even notice your listening to nature until you hear the music. Then it's like okay stop the music now.

Yes! I totally agree. And with him not talking and just letting us watch, was just icing on the cake.

Oh and the little breaks to show that unbelievable scenery, priceless. Thanks camera person!

Yup i love this vid, so relaxing

@@alanj7306 , Thats Fantastic how your able to biuld your home. Wonderful Job, Sir. You are doing a Fantastic job. Well Done, and to live in a very Beautiful area. Love your Companion, she's very beautiful. May God Bless and Keep you.

That's how most all of them lived up until a few hundred years ago

you must be kidding hes freezing and with this guy? hes bored out of his mind nothing to do for a dog no other dogs around u must not have a clue about them.

@@konanrefer6052 You're the clueless one ...this dog has the time of his life!

@@konanrefer6052 that was troll comment for sure? :D

The dog is so cute

Nope

Not only that, but the dog can ice skate!

100%

this dog is so happy, and know's how lucky he is.....that's a lesson in itself!

I feel the same way ..

He didn’t accomplish this don’t feel bad. It’s just entertainment. It’s impossible to live in the wild for two years with no contact from anyone as this video title suggests, and build that shelter with those tools he had, and hunt and get food for him and the dog all at the same time. It’s complete bogus . It’s just for entertainment

@@b-rare I've also noticed he had to go out and get certain materials to build but..I think the guy was saying the depression/lack of drive and will would screw us...(more so that the material supplies and work)

@@kristinadk the title says “2 years alone”. All I’m saying is that’s bull shit. Just hunting alone for food to survive for him and the dog would take up 8-10 Hours a day. It’s crap . Entertaining yes, but don’t lie to us now we’re not that stupid Lmao . And the dog looks like it’s eating kibble like where’s he hunting kibble ? Crap !!!! Let’s say he had another man there that did all the hunting , I don’t even believe one man with those caveman tools could build that much in two years . That’s another crap hole. I know too much about renovations to say that’s well maybe possible but everyday 10-12 hours days lol. Using an axe to cut down trees? Common. And a hand saw? Lol. It’s too fluffy for me

@@b-rare lmao you sound so pissed, it's kinda funny lol And yes, I get it.. lol ... (That's what people usually do to lure others in,... they put titles like that to get your attention) no need to get angry man lol ..politicians, news networks, UKposts, and books do it all the time

@@jackieselvey6639 Yes, I do take my phone to the woods with me as well as my motorcycle trips.

Real life does require some compromises.

Sorry about your loss sir. Wish You the best on your journey, hope You will find happiness.

Amazing. Lost my 21 year old son in 2001 - 10 days before 911 and his mom died in a car accident when he was only eight. Never went to live off the grid but did go off grid in other ways still recovering. Some positive things - like connected with a beautiful women who I knew in my twenties. She said yes 4 years ago. Live in the mountain's and hope to never live in a city again. Power to you Brother. Hope all is well and you thrive in your heart and Soul.

The difference is that for some is not a fantasy but a plan! :)

All the time. L

Born and brought up in Maine, still here. Congratulations for finding the seclusion you needed. it’s a great place, for now.

AMEN!

@@mikerogers9711 I actually grew up here as well. My parents split up when i was young and it forced me to move. But, i made my way back many years ago and never plan to leave. Maine will always be a great place. It is what you make it.

NorthEast Outdoors yes sir, that’s all it is. Make it or depend on someone else to do it for you. In 1982 I was lucky enough to get stationed at Loring. Never left Maine except for basic and tech school.

Better to be in the mountains with what crap is coming our way. Stay safe

This

I was thinking the same thing

Crazy Canuck ..... then I realised “why should I listen to some guy who talks to himself?” Only joking, I had the same thoughts you did... but we have to realise that this guy is something special!

Crazy Canuck.... I've had the same conservation with myself many times over the last 6.5 yrs and especially the last 2. Watching Shawn tells me I dropped the ball.

Richard I believe we are all special, and lucky enough to have a guy like Shawn remind us that we are (special)...

Absolutly amazing. Fantastique!

Desmond Brady, Jeremiah Johnson is one my favorite movies, too. Saw it at the drive-in with my family when I was young. Another good movie is The Trap with Oliver Reed.

Loved Jeremiah Johnson with Robert Redford, about a mountain man, but missing from the movie was builds like Shawn makes.

This is my Soap Opera, I can't get enough. I keep coming back for more simply genius.

Yes, Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorites too. But this amazing film was not done on a big budget.

Consider watching the documentary of Dick Proenneke.

@Zefyr...same here. I loved it from start to finish!

I totally concur.

Yvi a lovely rewarding comment.

So true Perry Farina! No annoying so-called social influencers, wannabe the world's greatest's know-all with their unnecessary talking and mostly annoying voices pretending to be the world's best presenters. Amazing video, amazing man!

did you see the second dog once hmmm who else is there??

@@brendaspooner9518 me, it was a slightly whiter one.

I wouldn't mind trading places with that dog at this moment .

He has a well trained human.

I agree there

I was sorry that it ended so soon!

It was like a perfect film 🎥 to watch on big screen, amazing job, thanks for sharing

We love watching your videos we live in New Hampshire. We would live off the grid if we wete young, now in our late 70 clser to 80. We are in N.H thats the closest to living with nature. We did live in Lake Tahoe, raised our 3 children there loved camping and hicking. Took a vacation to Canada along with our St Bernard got stopped at border he need shot clearence fortunantly. Found a vet In Bend fun times good memories

Great job, everything was perfect .alot of people would say alot of work,i think he enjoyed every evening savoring over tomorrows plan.

Hollywood movie??? Hahahahahahaha!! This is real . . . Hollywood is not.

Just a minute before I read your comment I was thinking; the person you were as a child is the person you are meant to be, before there is peer pressure and you didn't know about conforming to the norm. I believe that not living your own authentic life is the cause of depression and addictions. Many of us find it very hard to play a part, and sooner or later we have to go back to the authentic person we were as a child.

Gathering No Moss you couldn’t have said it any better

@@Alkamatus Wrong! Ren·ais·sance man /ˈˌrenəˈˌsäns man/Submit noun a person with many talents or areas of knowledge.

@@Automedon2 That's nice. I's also nice to have an income.

Who says you can't live the life you want and have an income? I've lived my 62 years exactly the way I wanted and always had an income - but usually just enough to keep doing what I was doing. If the life you want involves many material things, then of course you're going to have to be a slave. This man didn't start living the way he did until he had accumulated plenty of money, and I'm sure he has a fat bank account as a cushion for when he gets tired of his new lifestyle. @@kirksmith1973

As a fellow dutchman, I felt that. Edit: Vrolijk kerstfeest.

Phe rocks - I feel the same I couldn’t have said it any better myself, I have tons of respect and admiration for this man, I love how he keeps coming up with ideas to improve the inside of the cabin and he accomplished it all on his own with true skill and dedication , and when he goes out in the wilderness with his dog it looks like heaven on earth, just man and mans best friend, when I was scrolling through the UKposts videos and stumbled upon this video I looked directly at the thumbnail without reading it and right off the back I thought it was a video of the Hatfields and McCoys, on the thumbnail he looks exactly like Kevin Costner when he starred in the movie Hatfields and McCoys

Get a divorce leave the kids wife Wi-Fi and pizza and run like hell lol just kidding but it is a thought of mine everyday hahahah

Maar ook echt.

Trust me, as a 16 year old boy I can 100% say that your kids would thank you for this. Sadly it´s just not possible in mainland Europe, only places I could think of where this could be possible are Sweden,Finnland, Russia or Norway. This is the dream.

Agreed with you

I reckon Mr. or Ms. Oggie Doggie made this arduous project easier. Yes - a Man's best friend. 65 years ago my father built the home that they still live in. He had no knowledge but would ride his bike each night to see the work of other builders. I remember 55 years ago he built the double garage. Brilliant man. But he refuses to acknowledge that the then tempory lounge roof is still there. I've stopped laughing about it as it still there, as well as when put up 6 decades ago.

@@c2h5oh49 Dinner for the next day!

its not like he never went back to the city for supplies, charging his equipment, etc. its not like he found the tree taps, buckets, fishing rods/line, hooks, saws, hammers, nails, lathes, drills just laying around out there.

I'm sure he's so happy. Wonder if he wants another companion

just one man with his balls!

Abdul Qadir...agree ! If you don't like it, I say go to watch something else ;) God bless you as well :)

envy

Lets see, PETA didn't like the fact that he was fishing, Greenies didn't like the idea that he was cutting down trees and changing the flora and the fauna to meet his needs. Let's not forget the air pollution from those lanterns... And the anti-gun nutz saw the shotgun and went ballistic...and then there was Bambi! And you ask why some people gave a thumbs down?

They just envy because they cannot do like that better...

I'm skeptical of the whole alone in the woods for two years thing. He rather made several trips to stores to get certain materials, or just planned perfectly on what he needed to bring before he left. Also, the drone shots of him when he's ice skating, who was piloting it? Also Also, how did he charge his camera?

Your video cured my numb leg with tingling. I was just thinking of going to hospital. Say down saw this video thought it was a movie. Presto I am healed, thank God for directing me to you. ❤️🙏🤩💕💖

If you know dogs, you try and give them everything you can to make them the happiest.. i have 3.. 2 poms and a big white lab puppy.. they are everything to me too

But you Can see how its behavior changes and how it gets older. The doggie started out as a puppy but with each year it just moved slower and had a less positive attitude
