Episode 215: He Quit His Job to Live Off-Grid… Now He Has 16 Million Views
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What would it take for you to walk away from everything… and start over in the middle of nowhere?
That’s exactly what Shawn Trudel from Cabin River Outdoors did. He had no experience and no real plan. Just a piece of land deep in the wilderness and a camera.
Now he’s sitting on over 16 million views.
In this episode, we break down:
- Why he left his old life behind
- What off-grid living in Canada is actually like
- How his YouTube channel blew up
- The reality of filming everything alone
- And whether this lifestyle is actually worth it
We also get into gear, lost footage, YouTube growth, and the stuff nobody tells you about trying to make it doing this.
If you came for Shawn, stay for the full episode. There’s more here than just the interview.
