Hey! Those Pickles are for the Squirrel!

[@apollonia6656]

There is nothing like a man who knows what he is doing ! 👏👏👏

[@cej2001]

So Awesome! I Love squirrels

[@RunBikeMike]

Me too 😊

[@kevinlogiudice5458]

Great build man! *Eats whole jar of pickles* Next video: see poor Mike get sick. .

[@jasenking4092]

Thank you, this is the first of your videos I have watched. I will be building one of those today. We have a squirrel that just started showing up the wife is in love with it. So I will build a few yours is simple and will be easy to duplicate thank you again.

[@autumnwhispers2me]

We have this feeder. And.... absolutely LOVE the Wood Thrush’s flute-like singing in the background. They’re wonderful to hear, because they are nearing extinction.

This is great for shooting, highly recommend it

[@Patriottoo2]

I made a feeder like this for the Douglas/pine squirrels in our backyard. I cut a large hole in the bottle lid, and attached it to the box with small screws. This allowed for a secure fit to the box, but it didn't prevent raccoons from figuring out how to unscrew the jar for access to the sunflower seeds inside. It's best to feed squirrels with seeds in the shell, so they have to gnaw a bit to get to the meat. Squirrels' teeth grow so fast that they need to, continually, grind them down to prevent overgrowth.

[@doubleblessing]

Great feeder! I'll give it a try for our little urban squirrels!!!

[@tylervanorman492]

Yes! This is the way to do it

[@kevinthomsen77]

Looks cool. You make it look easy. I don’t know if I’m more impressed by the build or your pickle-eating skills!

[@Amanda-rq6iq]

You should try walnuts. Squirrels like walnuts

[@lindagillespie6556]

Amazing and my hubby says he’ll make it for. Me👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤣❤️❤️❤️greatful

[@RunBikeMike]

That is awesome!!!

[@wanderer1955]

Tell your husband to feed you properly at the kitchen table.

[@frostdragonwolf1998]

Finally squirrels don’t get tortured by humans who only want birds

[@CartoonCami]

Great thumbnail and video 😍

[@NWSLdaily]

Ur nice human build more for them ur awesome

[@joshb3526]

The pickles! 🤣

[@RunBikeMike]

Yummy 😋

[@bobporch]

Most peope just put up a bird feeded LOL. Squirrels are so cool and they are all smarter than the average congressman. 😎

[@RunBikeMike]

😂

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

i say don’t fight em. feed em instead. they’re fun to watch

[@RunBikeMike]

This ☝🏻

[@blanca5050]

Yes!! Finally

[@debraweaver1849]

I love it because I don't think the Blue Jays will get into this feeder. The Blue Jay's steel my squirrel's food. I'm trying to figure something out to keep the mean Blue Jays from the food!

[@Shafries]

I built one of these years ago and surprisingly the blue jays figured it out! I'm going to build another one with smaller holes in the sides to negate this.

[@gregcohane1095]

Your cuts are so precise and so accurate. I have to use a jigsaw...my finished work looks like rubbish.

[@RunBikeMike]

Oh thank you. I have been working on getting more accurate but it is hard to do for sure

[@traysonwhitworth7950]

I need this for *hunting*

[@myrkajavvs]

Good job

[@encubierto8034]

Tambien se le podria adaptar para ponerles agua.

[@connieanders8479]

Love it... Going to build two of them.

[@theyellowcolorman7511]

Great content!

[@outdoorztime2923]

Looks like a nice squirrel feeder - just might build one, "Pickle Monster"! 🤢

[@jeanellegramolini3682]

This is so funny a wild squirrel became my friend LOL and he comes when I call him and everything in his name is Jerry! Not to mention I do animal rescue and I currently have two baby squirrels that were orphaned that are soon to be released and I was thinking about making one of these boxes putting it on my porch for an easier release for them

[@matryan568]

Dudes going to turn into a pickle! Never seen someone eat so many pickles ! Pickle Rick!!!!!

[@RunBikeMike]

Lol pickle Rick

[@davidchapman4082]

Love it gonna build one today!

[@jamesh.sweetheimer1458]

Nice....and corn is cheap!

[@alunriley1417]

What a waste of pickle juice 🤪. Only joking, great build.

[@croc4417]

Fyi... Use one 1/4" lag with washer top and bottom just snug. Each year back out and re-tighten. Multiple fasteners horizontally will eventually split the back piece as the tree grows.

[@brendansierra6451]

Nice feeder but I’m more impressed with your work bench.

[@RunBikeMike]

Haha thanks 😊

[@havenmaine143]

This is perfect buddy many thanks for sharing this take care out there from the uk

[@RunBikeMike]

You are welcome. I hope you get to make one.

[@havenmaine143]

Tomorrow morning I'll get one setup buddy I just don't fancy the pickles.you take care mate

[@RunBikeMike]

Jimmy Mallery haha have fun with it

[@donaldtriumph1682]

I find the best food for squirrels are little lead pellets between the ears.

[@ChiefsFan62]

Great! I might have to try it sometime. I would have to make it raccoon proof, though. We used to have a similar one with a glass jar and they kept taking it out and dropping it on the ground. We even screwed a piece on the end to hold it, but they eventually tore it off, too. It lasted through quite a few falls before it broke.

[@RunBikeMike]

Oh no. I have a raccoon 🦝 in my area now. I will have to keep an eye on it.

[@DanChampionJr]

@@RunBikeMike you could put a strap over it at the center point, just need a quick release.

[@dougharkness6776]

Thanks for the video! I am going to build one. Oh, and looks like you got your sodium intake for the month 🤣

[@tayajossart8427]

Am I the only one who is making this for hunting? Anyone else ---------->

[@kellyw1648]

Will this feeder keep out deer?

[@andreshernandez4642]

Excelent work, and beautiful item, I just wanted to know what tool did you use to make the holes ? please tell me I want to buy them a soon as possible , thanks 👍

[@RunBikeMike]

Not sure the brand is made anymore but it is called a RotoZip.

[@MultiChaga]

I made one like this and racoons pulled the jar down so I had to make a strap and tightener over it so it would'nt happen again...It worked well.

[@RunBikeMike]

Dang trash pandas

[@proctorfamily5401]

@@RunBikeMike, yeah feed squirrels but NOT RACCOONS?! OK, not going to like share or subscribe. We love all nature's creatures!

[@RunBikeMike]

@@proctorfamily5401 ok thanks for letting me know.

[@centralbpm]

what mix is the song you have in the video?

[@wkdemt6556]

WHAT!! No ICE CREAM, to go with the pickles?

[@NaNa-j7b2q]

I really hope this works cuz being on guard patrol daily so my squirrels can eat in peace without my neighbors awful 10 diff bird feeders but yet these 4 bluejays n now crows have decided peanuts n pissin me off daily is how they get there kicks off pellet guns no longer doing its job..its unbelievable how much my poor squirrels have changed their daily routines due to my neighbors obsession with birds yet birds can fly plus everyone around here has at least 3feeders (besides me) but not good enough they want shelled peanuts which i cant afford to go thru 2 huge bags every other wk..yah its been war for me i dont understand they know damn well im shootin to hit them but yet theyll try findin diff ways wkly to sneak n steal ..this winters been hard for animals/critters now i have 14 turkeys that walk,fly by stop eat neighbors feeders fightin with the crows over the caches they dig up with there feet!talk about headache but i luv my greys so if those pests try fittin in the tiny circle for a peanut ....good hope they get stuck so they can leave my squirrels be its annoying!!thank u for this video!

[@garrymobey912]

What is that tool for cutting the holes buddy

[@RunBikeMike]

It is called a roto zip

[@carolinesousa3747]

I am a old lady, I don't want to build one, I want to buy one from you

[@bettyc.9614]

Me too!!! Somewhat OLDish... :) but i want to buy one.

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Nice but, the glass is to risky. If you aim is slightly off, the bullet might hit the jar and bust it. LOL

[@micah7492]

Did you really eat all those pickles? lol

[@RunBikeMike]

Maybe.... maybe not 😂

[@yurakovalec7292]

I recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Turned out great, shame you screwed it to a tree. Sick of seeing people do that after spending ages on a great build like this, it's just lazy and thoughtless. Many better ways to securely attach it to a tree without nailing or screwing into it. Only limited by the imagination.

[@michalsimunka]

I like your style of videos but why do you write the titles in CapsLock?

[@RunBikeMike]

The KZbin algorithm likes it or so I have heard 🤷🏻. What do you think? Thanks for watching them.
