About Cabin & Woods Co.

Made for the cabin. Used every day.

Lab tested coffee, tallow care for cast iron and leather, and wild chaga. Made in small batches by people who actually use them.

Why we started

It started with the things we use the most.

Most of what we use at the cabin gets used hard. The coffee goes on every morning. The cast iron cooks most of our meals. Boots, belts, and tool handles get worn in, not replaced.

Over the years we got particular about what goes into those things. We wanted coffee we knew was clean, so we started having ours lab tested. We wanted to season cast iron without reaching for a bottle of seed oil, so we made a tallow stick. We wanted something simple for leather and wood, so we made that too.

Cabin & Woods Co. is where we make those things for everyone else.

What we make

A short list, made well

  • Coffee

  • Leather and gear care

    A tallow and beeswax balm for boots, belts, wood handles, and the tools you plan to keep for a long time.

  • Wild chaga

    Hand harvested from birch in northern forests. Simmer it into a dark, earthy tea, or stir the powder into your morning coffee.

What we stand by

What we won't compromise on

  • Lab tested coffee

    Independently tested for mold, mycotoxins, pesticides, and glyphosate.

  • No seed oils, no petroleum

    Grass-fed tallow and beeswax, with no seed oils, petroleum, or synthetic fragrance.

  • Small batch, poured by hand

    Made in small amounts, so every batch gets looked at before it ships.

  • Honest labels

    If we can't back it up, we don't say it. No borrowed certifications and no health claims.

The founder

Started by Shawn James

Shawn built his log cabin by hand and has spent years living off grid, heating with firewood, cooking on cast iron, and sharing that life with millions of people on his YouTube channel, My Self Reliance.

Cabin & Woods Co. grew out of that life. These are the things he actually uses, made for people who want a little more of the cabin in their own day.
