Lots of progress this month on the new homestead! Full videos are available on my YouTube channels: My Self Reliance https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIMXKin1fXXCeq2UJePJEog Shawn James https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5L_M7BF5iait4FzEbwKCAg | My Self Reliance

Stress evaporates at the cabin. My days are occupied by simple things, like keeping the fire going, cooking, collecting water from the stream and making improvements to the log cabin. | My Self Reliance

From the first tree cut to the top of the log cabin walls. I like to be organized and plan things in advance, but this cabin build was so organic that I couldn't plan ahead, instead changing directions repeatedly. Looking back at the year on video, I remember every minute of the build and the challenges I had to overcome each and every day. Several times, I had no idea where I would find the materials, the tools or the time, but the answer was always there somewhere. | My Self Reliance
