6 MONTHS IN THE WOODS Loving The Off Grid Cabin Life Vlog 19

[@singleman1986]

Ya know James, sometimes I just have to pause and (re)watch some of these. Absorbing your perspectives and listening to the outro are a necessary balm for my soul. Many thanks.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for saying so :-)

[@BostonBorn]

There's nothing like the peacefulness of the woods. Frankie put a smile on my face..looking for that bunny ☺️ They don't call her 'mother' nature for no reason....she evokes a oneness and tranquility of comfort as a mother's warm embrace. I'm riddled with envy. Enjoy my friend. Thank you for sharing .... best wishes from Boston 💞

[@beckynapier3635]

Frankie made me smile going after that bunny smell....I haven’t smiled in a few months so give him a pat on the head for me in appreciation. My husband of 43 years passed away last week.....from his cancer diagnosis date to death was only 31 days. Enjoy what you can in life while you have it....which it is clear you do....things can change so quickly & not always for the better. Great video btw.

[@jimdandy6862]

So sorry for your loss, Becky. I hope you find peace and take comfort in the memories you both shared. God Bless.

[@beckynapier3635]

Jim Dandy : Thank you Jim....very kind of you to say & I pray the Lord blesses you as well.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Very sorry for your loss Becky. I'm happy Frankie was able to put a smile on you, even for a little while. Blessings to you.

[@ct_cartoonist53]

I just gotta say, I love watching your videos. You've got the kind of retirement that most people just dream of, living life your way, on your own terms. Enjoy!

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

Life is a gift from our creator. Glad to see you enjoying it. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimsteele7108]

Good to see you again though boss, thanks for checking in!

[@jerrybates5791]

Life is an adventure taken one day at a time. Thanks for sharing once again.

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Always makes me happy when you post a new video! I am glad all is going according to plan.

[@white98cherokee]

Boss you and Frank have got it all Peace, A full life, and The Lord.

[@pamcarter1585]

Such a beautiful, serene place to do some pondering 😁 it was good to see Frankie again...great video 👍👍👍

[@Living-The-Dream]

Awesome to see you so positive and happy! My best to Frankie 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@margarethardacre3777]

I just love the ending, "Frankie and the Boss"!🐾🐾

[@Lisa-xl6gv]

Love the babbling brook. The sound is so serene.

[@concernedcitizen3651]

You are in tune with the all the right things.....Peace Boss

[@garycarlson5578]

now thats living life boss

[@Downeastwaves]

Beautiful Ash Tree! I never met a tree I didn't like😀! Glad you are taking some ME time! Thanks for sharing.

[@ronniepate4315]

Mark it down Boss, It can't get much better than that.The tree's, snow, small stream, and peace of heaven. Thanks again J.C.

[@ericbunksvintagesportsman6311]

Glad you guys are OK !! life is good buried in the woods! The Lord is right there with yas

[@Butchmcmasters7MM]

Thanks for the video really enjoyed it

[@kefirheals7383]

Peaceful bliss! But even the good life comes with hiccups. The two of you will find a good balance. It just takes time. My husband worked and still works out of our home, and I always worked outside the home. I retired at 52 and it was culture shock. The key - you each have to have hobbies and interests independent of each other. My husband's work is his hobby, in addition to many other interests. I had to find out what the non-working girl liked to do. When I worked, I didn't really have time for much else when I'd get home, aside from laundry, cooking dinner, etc. But I'm happy to say it all worked out in the end.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Well said. She's do better when going to town doesn't require a half day adventure. Spring is on the way :-)

[@susandutcher6456]

Hi Boss Thank you for another great video. It was so nice to see Frankie he always puts a smile on my face give him a hug for me. God Bless

[@tonyblackmon6356]

Nature has the cure for whatever you need.

[@johngallagher2313]

It is amazing how quiet it is when it is real cold. Whole different world

[@lynnmorrison4843]

One of the best things about getting to where you are going, is taking a look at where you currently are, and appreciating how you got there, although there is a stretch still ahead. Because there is no one else to do it I routinely give myself little pats on the back, glad to see your dream is coming together. The boy and I love your channel, we feel privileged to witness your story. God bless you and yours.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I keep a journal so it's always fun to reflect back on the past. It's been an interesting journey :-)

[@lindas1496]

Enjoy you guys❤️l can hear the joy in your voice👍👍👍🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇☃️🦅🦫🦦🦆🦉🦨🦔🌲🌲🌲🌲❄️🐇🐇🐇

[@ronagee8987]

Last week I visited an uncle and aunt who lives out of town. They were excited to see me not only because of me, but they had something for me. An old Montgomery Wards cast iron waffle maker just like the one you have.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Awesome. Congrats :-)

[@nicolezach5456]

Great video! I love the babbling brook :)

[@EdiblePlants]

nice to see it is going well for you brother

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you my friend.

[@wandaduckworth1357]

Great to hear from you Lori an Frankie again. The scenery is beautiful,love hearing the brook running over the rocks! Take care an waiting on your next video ,,I love them!!

[@pamjones6465]

Nice outting. Mother nature sure knows how put on a display. Frankie loves it. Thank you for sharing such beauty. Enjoy.

[@stephenseman8863]

Planning, chasing dreams, rearranging priorities. The journey is half the fun! Thanks for sharing...

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Couldn't agree more :-)

[@joelhill4107]

I am very envious! I used to live like you before moving to the city over 20 years ago for work. Would like to go back to that lifestyle, the only problem is my health has failing. If something miraculous does happen there is a good chance I will go back to it. I hate the sound of jets, the highway noise, just all the noise and pollution in the city suburbs in general. I really enjoy your videos! Always well done. Thanks!! You are the Boss!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

My health is failing too and that's why I moved here. I need to do it now while I can and I'll live in town when I can'tdo this anymore.

[@arkyhomesteader1791]

Your positive attitude is an uplift to all of us. Hoping your lady adjusts to the solitude. 😊

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Great video. Good to see you happy and smiling. What a good life out there in God's country. Peaceful and clean and not littered with trash. Heaven on earth. Y'all have a blessed day.

[@mattlindley6899]

Ah, good times. Glad you're enjoying yourself J.C.

[@RobinJohnsonDecor]

Congrats on 6 months, that is so exciting. Glad to hear your enjoying your new life in the woods. Loving your vintage themos. So amazing that you've kept it so long.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

My old lunchbox was built better than the tool boxes are today. I miss the old days :-)

[@jeremyboldt4640]

Great video as always. This guy here is one envious man. Thanks for sharing.

[@marksparkplug7758]

Happy over the hump day Boss and Lori! Keep on keeping on. Take care.

[@Ken1NC]

If I owned the land there, the trees would be safe from loggers till I was dead at least. Beautiful trees!

[@StepvanDan]

Wow Boss felt like i was just sitting next to you there ,Thank you,church for me

[@thebossoftheswamp]

The best church I know of :-)))

[@billlaut608]

You mentioned that Lori "is having to adjust." We can see that. She has Frankie on a short leash! Oh-oh! ROFL! Sorry Boss, having two older sisters myself, I couldn't resist! Great video, despite my teasing. And your philosophy, delivered next to a babbling brook, is spot-on. Less drama, more nature, is something everyone can benefit from.

[@peterfriswell2875]

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together the way you want it to and then bit by bit you can sit back and actually see your achievements...... Thanks for sharing

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Love it indeed :-)

[@cillaloves2fish688]

U look happy! Enjoy!!

[@sonyagregory5711]

The Sound of a babbling brook is the most beautiful sound in the world. You are blessed! Stay Warm & We'll Do The Same!

[@larryjacobs5713]

I would trust you to lead down any trail. One of your best videos. Lead the way boss!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Larry :-)

[@hoppinjohn3496]

Winter is hard. Knowing The Boss from his videos tells me that everybody went in with eyes wide open.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

All is well :-)

[@jonpritt9173]

Looks like your living the dream!! Thanks for sharing.

[@deerfarm5982]

WOW.... 6 months has flown by for sure!!! glad the "adjustments" are going well:)

[@bluecollarmark]

Thank you Boss, for sharing. Living a Dream, nothing like it.

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Always enjoy your wonderful upbeat spirit. You can see the pure joy in your face and loving life! Stay safe🍻

[@Jenniferde2007]

Utopia!! Shangri la!! Thanks for sharing this serene setting and the tree was magnificent. I hope you'll take us back from time to time to see it in the other seasons of the year. You have become hermits, but there are worse things in life. Have fun and God Bless!

[@stevostevopick4003]

Thanks for the 10 minutes of serenity. What a majestic Ash! Ours don't even get to be a foot across before the emerald beetle starts to destroy. Glad for you've seemed to have truly found some peace and tranquility after such a hectic year. Frankie has some serious charisma! :)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

A hectic year indeed :-o

[@johnbrinton3873]

Nothing better for the soul than enjoying nature. Hobbies are required especially in winter, some done together and some not. Music playing in the background does wonders to lift spirits, even if you think you are not listening to it. In the later years that same music will bring back the fond memories of winter cabin living! Good video JC & thx so much for sharing :) !!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Spot on regarding the memories. Adversity spawns fond memories too. Always something to keep in mind when enduring a hardship. :-)

[@offgridgetawaycamp8034]

that is why I like to spend time up north at the off grid camp. the peace and tranquility is just amazing and it is just very enjoyable to be away from the noisy city for a while and enjoy the beauty of nature.

[@tjinnes]

Love the video Boss, thanks.

[@JDKvideos]

I appreciate the time you take in your life to share our dreams together....

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for saying so :-)

[@jaymepedone7602]

I'm glad you made it through the trying times and are enjoying the fruits of your labor.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Me too :-))

[@outdoors446]

Just what the doctor ordered thanks

[@bluwtrgypsy]

What I so love about the forest is the amazing energy...............from the trees and everything else there. Yes, I feel it .What beautiful trees. A true spiritual experience. Can't get enough of it myself. Tahoe National Forest and the Sierra Nevada's are my playground for now, until I get back to New England. Thank you. blessings

[@jcnme]

Absolutely Beautiful Boss ! Thanks for sharing your journey My Friend ! I enjoy every single one.

[@stevenharrison5828]

From a West Virginia coal miner we love your videos and love ol Frankie great buddy for you

[@KatahadinKookingMamaHomestead]

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Glad everything is working out for you guys . You've got a beautiful spot there . Enjoy it guys take care .

[@kenrowland1]

[@abefrohman1759]

I hope you two enjoy the time up there, looks like a paradise to me.

[@chicagotom2006]

It was so nice to share your happy time in the woods. The ash trees are amazing. We wish you and yours the best. You make me smile every time I watch one of your video's.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Happy to hear that Tom. Thank you for saying so.

[@cmc7106]

Wonderful video, I know the feeling, I have a remote cabin and there is nothing like it!! The quiet and peacefulness it is the best!!

[@belladonna4076]

Awesome Boss, i can hear that brook flowing, it's so nice and good to hear you've done all those big jobs. Frankie you are so funny with your head down in the snow. Hi Lori, it must take some getting use to not seeing other people, so when that snow melts it must be time to hit the city and go get more stores for the cabin and go have coffee with your best friends and family. Thanks for the video and GOD Bless.

[@janetkeim5751]

Love the beauty of the woods. Enjoyed the video.

[@rlbgardener6465]

Hey Boss, looks like a beautiful day in the neighborhood to me, and we can always hope to have our cake and eat it to, keep warm and be safe this winter.

[@breezyridgeranch]

First!! I love your videos. The only channel I allow notifications about!!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for saying so :-)

[@smokinjoejt4682]

Once again great vid Boss!!! Keep up the great lifestyle....you are an inspiration to us all!!

[@jacquesveilleux5001]

Beautiful day to be out in the woods - I've always found joy in the deep quiet of a snowy forest - it is one of those unique experiences in life. That large ash is a beauty! Blessing to have a property you can manage - plenty of acreage to keep the large healthy trees and remove the diseased trees for firewood, etc. Certainly a dream of mine! Congratulations on finishing the hard work and getting to where the new projects show the improvements to the homestead - what a great feeling! All the best Boss - enjoy that homestead and cabin life! Cheers!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Great feeling to be over the hump. On to a new year we go :-))

[@susanwinslow9361]

enjoyed watching this again, look forward to the next video with the three of you enjoying your beautiful property

[@angelgrant3845]

I love your additude for life off grid 💜👍👍👍👍👍

[@Sammy_316]

You did it and you did it your way. I am happy for you, congratulations.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you

[@doubledecker52]

Thanks for the song Franky and the Boss back in the video! That is an awesome song , Love it!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I use it at the end of the vlog with a dog series but not the others.

[@johndolby3472]

Agree, I am in the WV Appalachian Mountains enjoying the woods as often as I can. Gives me peace in my mind.

[@Bartmans_Garage]

Being over that hump feels great. Nice to see you can slow down and enjoy the woods. Great vid as always. Take care.

[@ChadMorgan709]

That was one huge ash tree. The biggest I've ever seen. I'm happy to hear that all is well with the cabin and you are both adjusting well. Cheers till the next one!

[@sizzlechest1038]

Well deserved rest J.C you looked very happy God Bless my friend

[@thebossoftheswamp]

God Bless

[@bekind8246]

Boss, Oh yes the old glass lined thermos-brings back a lot of memories! You 3 take care & God bless.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

God Bless

[@russellweber3466]

Again rewatching these videos with Frankie is so telling he loved you, and not just loved you, he basically did what you trained and wanted him to do. Jim clearly you wanted Frankie to have a fun, meaningful life, which is what I have tried to do with all my dogs.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

He had a great life and what a great friend he was to me.

[@filbnineseventwo7410]

Hey Boss, good to see you get some time to enjoy your surroundings. Take care.

[@sheilagrace2725]

Very timely message. Followed your lead and went outside for 8 hours straight. I spent time with my trees, the soil, the wind, sun, & cold. We get old straw for free from the farmers around here. This time 7 ton on the old 40' flat bed with diy rails. Using only two tools; box cutter and garden ''claw' I'm steadily mulching 3+ acres by hand. This place was pretty sparse until I planted 500+ trees and shrubs (native, edible, wildlife habitat) and more are in the lineup. Now I am surrounded by friends; they keep me, and I keep them. Good company. thanks

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Sounds like you'd make a great neighbor :-)

[@Roadking-285B]

You are so right. I’ll take country, woods, and silence any day over city life. It’s a shame people concern themselves over materialistic things. The simple life is just fine with me. Stay happy and healthy, and keep smiling!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Agreed. No time like cabin time :-)

[@johnglennon4245]

Glad it’s going well, enjoy you earned it!

[@farm_in_themiddleofthewood3339]

Sounds great!!! That is a great feeling indeed! Thanks for sharing!!

[@susantessmer5906]

Good to see Frankie, love your videos. Thank you boss

[@frontierfan1613]

You seem so happy and relaxed!. The falling snow and babbling brook was amazing. Best wishes to all of you, and thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Finally settling in and have time to absorb my surroundings. Life is good :-)

[@janinedelaughder4723]

❤️ so happy for you both and Franky 🐶

[@rosegillis5891]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful new adventure with us. Things will adjust, and spring is coming you will both be soooo busy with your new garden and hunting. God bless.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

All is well on the mountain. Good to hear from you Rose :-)

[@Jut3333]

Absolutely beautiful place boss. Just think how many people don't even know what nature holds. Or even care. Thanks boss.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

The ones that don't care scare me :-o

[@Jut3333]

thebossoftheswamp me to. Very much scare me

[@michellescolaro6159]

Oh how great it is to see you and Frankie. I laughed so hard seeing Frankie bury his head in the snow. Loved it. Be safe in that weather. Hugs to you and Frankie!!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hug to you too Michelle :-)

[@dnngskn62]

So glad you are at a content and happy place. That makes for some good living bossman.

[@tyronesart]

I have always felt this way about trees , they give off an amazing energy if you can perceive it , I have literally hugged a tree before , I guess that makes me a tree hugger lol

[@margietucker1719]

I feel the same, Tyrone!

[@sterlingprice5963]

tyrone elliott, Trees are like your grandpa. They can tell you about the old days and are full of patience and wisdom. Sometimes they have scars on them that can tell you things. Where a fence used to be. Where a property line is. A group of surviving grandaddy trees whisper in the wind, hinting at truths forgotten but still true. Guardians of the past that reveal former homesteads and stories. All one has to do is look, listen to the wind, and care for them as if they were family...which they are.

[@berniem.6173]

The snow fall is so peaceful. I see Frankie also loves that cook stove. Great place for a warm nap. : )
