Howling Wolves Wake Me Up at the Cabin

Description

Early this May, I camped alone at the cabin property(My Self Reliance Camp) while I worked on the cabin foundation. I installed a privy, hauled logs, and cooked some great meals over the open fire for myself. I was awakened by a pack of wolves, barred owls and a saw whet owl at 4:30 in the morning

Video Transcription

hey guys Sean James sir for my self reliance thanks for tuning in again you see all the tools here in front of me I'm actually going to sharpen all these ups and get back to the cabin I made a lot of progress this week I've got maybe twenty five logs notched and a few courses of the logs up and so if I think I'm going to be able to get two walls up to eight feet in for two or three weeks but thanks for clicking on this field hope you like it it's a little camping trip I did up with the property while I was working on the cabin what I really appreciate everybody watches and I just wanted to thank Scott in particular heed his father mentioned that Scott and his Cub Scout Pack from Deerfield pack number 47 in the States tunes into the videos and I really appreciate that I think that's great hopefully inspire you guys to get outside hope somebody some of you can get up here and spend some time in Canada and I really appreciate it so I started off in Cub Scouts when I was about your age too so pretty exciting great place to learn some skills and to make some new friends and then get inside and inspire you to stay outside for rest of your life so good on you thanks for watching guys see you in the next video and until then I hope you get outside too

anyway what I was thinking as I was more what I said about the inspiration I sounds kind of egotistical and I was thinking it you know I'm actually inspired by you guys in your comments and and these young guys that are like Scott who who are in Cub Scouts and who are getting outdoors and and following people on YouTube not just my own channel but all the other great outdoor channels out there that are inspiring people to get there but point being what I was thinking is that actually you guys are inspiring me and also really what I want message I want to convey is it you should lead an inspirational life yourself inspire other people to do what we do and create a movement my kids are at that age 18 and 16 or 17 and I'm hoping I'm an inspiration to them I think I am they're watching seeing what I'm doing seeing that hard work pays off and getting outside is great to fight depression fight boredom and just create a healthy body of mind so I want to want that to be the message but I really want my kids and everybody who's following young people especially to live their own inspirational lives and inspire their generation and the next generation too you know guess hook unhooked from this modern society where people are bored and and depressed because they don't feel like they have any worth they don't they don't know that they don't explain it that way but that's what I feel it that disconnect from nature and the and the lack of purpose I mean you don't even have to work these days enough charity and and welfare it you can literally sit at home watch TV and not afterward pick up the tool in your lifetime but what's that teaching you certainly not so for it so I just want to make that message before I left so sorry I'm rambling on here and I'm still in these videos with to talk but you don't like it just scroll past this and get into the video if you like but I think I'm gonna probably keep this up so like I said give me your police comments and ask your questions and and let's get the conversation going so thanks again for watching and I'll see you the next video [Music]
