My Self Reliance
Shawn James is an avid outdoorsman building a self-reliant lifestyle in the Canadian boreal forest. His personally documented journey from the corporate world to surviving and thriving in remote nature has entertained and inspired millions. Watch the videos below of him building, customizing, and gardening in his Growing Dome greenhouse and explore his other projects including off-grid construction, educational resources, wildlife documentation, and wilderness survival.
My family starts building a cedar geodesic growing dome greenhouse with help from Arctic Acres at our off grid wilderness homestead. Despite heavy rain and hail, we get the cedar dome erected and start installing the clear panels before the weather turns even worse, stopping us from finishing. Tune in next week as we complete the build and start finishing the interior in preparation for growing season.
I build a solar shed, a fence to keep the moose out of the garden, work on the greenhouse and plant a permaculture garden with fruit and nut trees and bushes.
These videos are the first two in a series of eight featuring Growing Domes. The rest are on the channel.
