Heavy Lifting Alone! Building an Off-Grid Log Cabin Alone in the Wilderness, Ep6

 

New Homestead, a new location November 26, 2021.

Rain and snow slow my progress as I use a treetop cable system to hoist heavy logs into place on my off-grid log cabin. I have to spin one 24 foot log from end to end to fit it onto the back wall of the cabin.

My Self Reliance

 

I started watching this excellent YouTube Series by Shawn James several months back.   The series follows Shawn as he builds his Homestead (sans power tools), in the Canadian Wilderness.  The work ethic, resourcefulness, clean camerawork, minimal narration had me from the start.   A calming meditation suggestion is to allow one of Shawn’s Videos to roll while you sit in meditation on a chair or on a cushion.   Since Shawn’s narration is judicious (the heart of brevity) there is a quiet rhythm to his work around or in the cabin.  Callie, his faithful canine companion is always at his side, intermittently prompting him to take a break and throw her favorite red retrieval toy for her eager fetch.
