A Bull Moose Attacked my Deer Target | My Freezer is Full, Details of my Last Deer Hunt
Hi Shawn, I've watched your channel for a long time and this last cabin you built is a nice one. I also believe we might see some rough times ahead especially considering the united states where I live is going broke and the dollar should have already collapsed. I don't think anyone believes we are ever going to pay back 34 trillion dollars. Then again Canada seems to be turning into Hitler's Germany with your left wing authoritarian government running wild up there. Not sure what the future holds for us all but I think we would all be better off trying to become as independent as we can.
I too don't understand why you are eliminating veggies especially those you grow organically.
It’s hard to understand because we’ve been brainwashed our entire lives that the food pyramid is a healthy way to eat. 30% of American teenagers are pre-diabetic, 70% of adults are obese and 90% of people are insulin resistant and metabolically dysfunctional. The modern diet and our health has deteriorated significantly over the last 10,000 years. The most nutritious food by a large margin are animal products. Plants aren’t necessary and often cause more harm than good, especially if they displace animal products in my diet because you can only eat so much in a day.
Thanks I have been following you for a number of years now and can't wait for the next video. If I wasn't 70 years old I would be doing the same as you. I am eating more protein now than I have ever had in my life.
Reminding me of when i lived in North Dakota
I did a snowmobile only once in 66 years of life.
🤍💙☀️♥️❣️💜❤️💖😇
God Bless you James ❤❤❤
Hooe you get better, bro. I almost ist got taken out by what they call a kissing bug. Anaphylactic shock.was not a good time.
I must have missed it by why is Shawn not eating vegetables ???? Anyone pease?
Your garden site is awesome.
Shawn do you freeze dry anything ? I Saw where if you freeze dry your fruits and herbs 🌿 that can last for years in glass sealed jars 🫙
Sorry you are sick . Make sure it is not a tick disease
How does your truck start up without a block heater?
Only once I went hunting where it was so cold, the trees were exploding. Sitting next to an abandoned cemetery made it more interesting.
Yuppers! Have to please yourself before you can please others.
The garden just looks beautiful and delicious! That’s a all day job within itself. Your my favorite you and Cali on these videos. Thank you for sharing love from 🇺🇸
I was thinking linen which us 18th century reenactors wear a lot.
No Social media for me , RUclips is BAD enough at trying to play GOD !!!
You are the same age as my son. I love your video’s.
Your face is looking thin bud! Maybe your new food regime is really kicking in, to say nothing of all the hard work you do. What a lovely Eden you’ve created. A huge admirer from the outset, just love this paradise developing. Thank you for allowing us to watch. Ottawa fan 👵👋🐕
🙏🌿🍂🍁Não vivemos na natureza como ele e Calli, mas a natureza vem até nós, através da live. A natureza é maravilhosa, especial, Deus deixou tudo para os animais e humanos. Tudo harmonioso, tudo sincronizado com as estações, com o tempo, lugar.🧄🧅🌶🥔🍅🇧🇷
Shawn, perhaps you've already covered this but if so I missed it. I think all your regular viewers are aware of your fairly recent change in diet and while you've spoken some about what the changes entail and the benefits you've experienced, I'd be very interested to learn WHY you changed your diet and what processes you went through via researching nutrition to settle on the new diet you've embraced, especially any medical studies you may have found that you could share. I ask because I am considering a change in diet myself and the hundreds of options are a little bewildering and overwhelming. Which is not to say that I would change my diet based on any one person's say so, but being pointed in the direction to find solid science based research regarding ONE of the many dietary regimes could be helpful not only to me but to your other viewers, as well. Speaking only for myself, I am not looking for help with weight loss or even correcting existing (perhaps) diet-related issues, just thinking I may be able to eat better to be able to sustain my overall good health going forward, as a 70 yr old female. Seems all my age-related health issues are, at this point in time anyway, genetic.
Look up Paul Saladino here on RUclips. Initially it was to cure my high blood pressure and now it’s for overall health and muscle retention.
I tell my dog move when they’re tryin to play and I’m swinging a bladed tool.

I always waching you James hello to your family
This video was so beautiful, the beautiful greenery and the sound of the rain. Please excuse me if my comment is too personal or inappropriate, your face looks thin, your cheekbone’s so sharp. I hope you are healthy and feeling well. Thank you for this information and beautiful video.
How big is your garden, and does it provide enough to eat, can, freeze, for the family? Thanks Shawn
Hi Shawn, Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪, I really like your channel and so does my 88 year old parents. You’re inspiring for sure and a wonderful life plan that the governments of the world should take on board and teach in every school, watch your channel themselves perhaps, they would learn so much, you create amazing things instead of destroying stuff, you recycle and plan, we really need more people like you to help us to get back to basics, I wish you well, fantastic ❤🇮🇪 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🎶
Curious if you did blood work before starting this diet. The book Undo It by Dean Ornish has really good science behind the benefits of a plant based diet. Not against sustainable harvested meat nor wild so most who do the carnivore diet don't have access like you.
Wegot over 3 1/2 inches of rain just yesterday. Iowa is experiencing a lot of flooding. Myself, I love rain. Calming. MY son Rob put up berms to protect the barn and garden. Husband cannot help due to a stroke he just had. Your garden and orchards coming along o.k.
This man is a phoney - no way he lives in these buildings - so full of it !!!!
Just so amazing Shawn and I’m not living out in the forest but by example I’m eating better and thanks so much for sharing! 🌱🌱🌱🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯😎😎😎
The best soundtrack ❤ 🌧
Maybe diet wise you're onto something Shawn, I was skinny as hell as a kid eating as few vegetables as Mom would let me get away with.. loved fruit meat and raw veg/salads but hated cooked vegetables ! Garden is continuing to thrive, are the deer trying to jump existing fence or push through ? Can't blame 'em for trying !
What’s wrong with eating asparagus?
I'm laughing at Cali not letting you dig. 😂😅
Are you going to buy a Flohive for honey? You have pollinators, bees, and 🦋 butterflies. Cindy 👋
Shawn, I found using texting today. I downloaded Zoom for a meeting, and it was filled with 100 at the meeting, so it was closed. So when I called the phone number, there were over 1,000 on the call, and I could not hear the call. So the host sent me a message with her phone number and finally sent her a text. Months ago, you wanted me to text you, but I didn't know how to do it. Well, anyway, I did buy a solar generator with solar panels and a Faraday bag. I forgot your text number. Otherwise, I would finally text you. Your forest garden is beautiful just as you are with Cali and your family. Cindy 👋 Thank you for all of your joyful work. 🌧 🌦 🌂
Garden envy here Shawn.
Thank you , Shawn . 🐺Loupis Canis .
Strange that you are not eating vegetables but are eating fruit. Berries are great, but many fruits are loaded with sugar. Other than potatoes and similar vegetables (starch turns into sugar in our bodies), vegetables have much less sugar. Animal protein or animal protein with relevant vegetables to lose weight. To maintain weight, vegetables, other than high starch/glycemic vegetables, and fruit, but easy on the fruit, depending on sugar load. Berries always good.
Why little vegetables?
HELLO JAMES...the abondance of your beautiful garden seams to same whit PARADISE...BRAVOOO IT IS AL YOUR DESIRVE🤗🤗🤗 WE ALL LAVE YOU JAMES...and me more than alll...JUST FISEL if you need me 🥰😉🤗
Life the Jungle is still posting your videos. One just posted 19 hours ago. Not sure if it helps but reported it as misleading.
How will you store fruits and vegetables during the winter? The storage in the basement will work for some time but not all winter long! How do you set that in advance? Thank you! Great content!
Deer do not like rosemary. You can get winter hardy varieties that will not die in sub zero.. i have some in my garden and i planted with a nice rock or 2 on the north side of the plant to nestle it into a "southern" corner, mulch and even cover with burlap in winter..do not cut back in winter, wait til spring or summer if you need to shape it.. make a hedge of it outside your deer fence and it will work even better to keep deer away.. they don't like it and will just keep on walking instead of looking for a way to get in. Also, is good to dry and use in kitchen as herb.. so double benefit from it.
😁👍🏼
This should be on national geograpics....
