OFF GRID AWESOMENESS. We're Rockin The Retirement. Going One Cabin To Another.

[@dubehigh]

I retired last year at 59 Can’t say I’ve had a bad day yet. Plenty of things to keep me busy living off grid. Fire wood fishing hunting playing with the dogs. Enjoy yourself, you guys deserve it. God Bless, from northern Minnesota.

[@danielwilliams9625]

I’ve been watching for years and enjoy all your videos, but this is one of my favorites! Just relaxing to watch you folks having such a nice time together. Thanks for sharing!

[@evalinawarne1337]

I miss Frankie too. A place to relax with your beautiful lady 💖🛐🛐🛐✝️💖 ✨ Home ✨☕☕☕☕ with a perfect outside fire. You found a BUCK and prepare a LOVELY DINNER for Two and puppy. Wine and feel fine. 🌟☀️⭐👋👍☕☕👍 Good night🇺🇸🇺🇸💖

[@thebossoftheswamp]

The wine makes it fine for sure :-))

Thank you for saying so ;-)

My fav deer meat is the backstrap!

[@campgas5344]

I know how you feel about Frankie! I just lost my Remington after 13 years. Tildy staring at your cheese just brought back so many memories. God bless you guys as well as Frankie Remington and all of our fury friends!

[@673Piper]

I subscribe to almost 400 channels. Mostly RVing and off grid cabins. None of them make me feel so peaceful as your vids do. ESPECIALLY at the New York cabin. Having been a subscriber for years, that cabin is like going home. You guys take the stress out of my days. 👍🍷🍷

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Very happy to hear this and thank you for taking the time to say so :-)

[@DB12531]

I spent some time up in Indian Lake NY. Might have found a place to buy some land and build my own camp. Thank you for the inspiration. The world needs more people like you and Lori.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you :-)

[@timothysharp2660]

Nice Buck !!!!! Great to see you playing with Tilly like you used to with Frankie. Also the relaxing time with Lori is what its all about.....enjoy.

Thank you ;-)

[@jeffgrier8488]

I'm glad to see you two enjoying yourselves, and i'm glad that you got some meat for the freezer! Thanks again for sharing your lives with us, it's great to be able to tag along!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you ;-)

[@g.s.7022]

It's been a relatively long time since you both smiled so relaxedly and it was the right decision to finally take things slower, true to the motto, there's a time for everything. Big cuddles for Tildy and God bless☘️💫🍀

[@janied8831]

Amen 🙏Amen 🙏🙏🙏🕊

[@thebossoftheswamp]

We love the direction we are going in. It's several directions at once but they all have their charm :-))

[@Bob.Jenkins]

I was recommended to your channel over a year ago by a friend, Frederick Thoms - who sadly passed away, age 74, two months ago. I only discovered this information today and am bereft. He was not only an ardent admirer of your channel but your art - and he left three of the drawings he'd purchased to me in his Will. We actually never met in person - we only ever communicated online but his wit, charm and sense of humour brightened my days. If you'd met, you'd have liked him, I'm sure - you both have that same dedication to common sense, work, home and family. Finally, he asked me to post this message: "Be well, be safe and all the best to you and yours." - Frederick Thoms (1950-2023)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Sorry to hear of your friend's passing but I thank you for sharing this. All the best.

[@randalltom9750]

Nothing beats a hearty meal, out in the woods. Venison provides that... let alone, the adventure, and thrill of pursuing wild game. I applaude your lifestyle choices! (Wow that sounded wierd!)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you my friend. Just got back to the cabin yesterday. No set agenda. Life is good ;-)

[@gpfmiller1977]

The best dogs, even when they're gone, are ALWAYS right by the woodstove. Good shot Bossman! Enjoy the harvest!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you ;-)

[@welderman1221]

I certainly miss Frankie as well!!! I love to see that kind of relationship with man and his dog!!!

[@aryanahartwell3801]

The way you are so turned onto the frequencies of Nature, (birds eating from your hands like St. Francis of Assisi), I have no doubt the young buck's Spirit volunteered itself to you. You emanate the enthusiasm and innocence of a young child and Spirit knew your desire before you even got to your cabin. The laws of Nature reflects back your generosity and appreciation for Life and Abundance. I love you both for the Inspiration you provide.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you kindly ;-)

[@jeffreybrace491]

And ain't it just what it's all about in the Northeast... the harvest is in, the canning... the hunting... and finding those nooks & crannies where the cold gets in. Enjoying it all with you.

[@carolynkid216]

What a lovely visit BossMan. It's always great to see what adventure you and Lori and Tildy are on. Congrats on taking the beautiful buck, and refilling your freezer. What wonderful blessings to be able pick up and go and enjoy the cabin, or the camp up on the mountain. Your 'retirement' plan is a great one. All the best to you!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Awe thank you my friend. I love the path we have taken. I'm at the cabin again, sitting with a frosty PBR as I type :-) All the best :-))

That is sweet! Sounds like a great way to start your weekend. Enjoy :>)

It’s always good to see you two, and congrats on your harvest! 🙂

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you ;-)

[@suemitchell1354]

We are in Mo. There is a group of knuckleheads around here that shoots game just so it will die. When SHTF happens they are going to wish they had some of that meat to eat! I am like preppernurse 1, I don’t think it is a case of if it happens it is when it happens. I was born at home, on a farm didn’t have much but both parents voted. I think a lot of todays plans were on paper or just beginning. To create a new and better tomorrow. If we could just do this or that-So sad . So now we try to get away for a few days for some peace and quiet, enjoy Nature remember back when, Pray for our kids and g randkids., Remember and look forward to quiet time with our spouse. Enjoy the last few days of Fall . Congratulations on your deer, enjoy!

[@sandrathomson1084]

Mornin Boss, Lori and Tildy 🖐🏻. I am sitting here having coffee and thankful for your video to distract me from the noisy world. Looking forward to seeing more adventures with y'all. Enjoy your retirement 🍻. Love and Prayers For All. God Bless Y'all ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you kindly ;-)

[@zerkfitting]

Sorry JC, but every time I see the NY cabin I think of Frankie. It almost makes me cry. I just put down my canine companion (Huey) and it breaks my heart. Believe it or not I had fond memories of that cabin too. Dutch oven cooking cornbread, digging sand for the driveway, hunting for Sasquatch, and nailing up the milled siding. Thank you for the memories JC

[@woodspirit98]

Oh this is like the good ole days. Good memories. Good wine. Good hunting.

[@randalltom9750]

Bossman... Your retirement plans are perfect. A simple, carefree life is often short changed by someone else's idea of happiness. Don 't let that happen... More stuff, bigger, better, the latest, greatest, whatever. It's whooie! Thanks again for the 'Good Backwoods Logic!'

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Yeah buddy. Lots of changes in the works :-)

[@jmar665]

Good to see all three of you once again. ♥God heard your prayers and you got the blessing, your deer meat. Great video, I enjoyed it very much. God bless.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Spot on my friend. My prayers rarely consist of me asking for things. My prayers consist of giving gratitude for the things I want but as if my wishes have already been fulfilled. Putting the gratitude first just lines things up. God listens when you speak his language. Many blessings to you.

[@archieburson4301]

JC it's good to see ya'll again......as a matter of fact I enjoy seeing you all so much that I am in the process of watching this video back to back a second time LOL. As I've said before ya'll feel like family! You both look great and you look like you are really enjoying yourselves. You look well-rested and it's obvious that you have recovered from your injuries and surgeries. It takes a little longer but sometimes the best medicine is just to get plenty of rest and enjoy living. As I'm watching you Butcher and cut the meat I can't help but notice how tender that meat looks and it's understandable why you like to partially freeze it. And your faithful partner Lori is there to help you bag it. Without a doubt that Tildie knows she's part of the family. Till next time may God bless you all and thank you for keeping Frankie's theme song....... he's still belongs❤

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Yes we are very much enjoying the direction we have taken here. I'm at the cabin again as I type. Here for as long as I feel like being here. Mama may have to come and get me haha. Whenever I cut up a deer before rigor mortis sets in, it's always tender. Good stuff. Non GMO haha. All the best.

[@Ken-h5d]

Your videos are always a treat, Boss. This one had me smiling the whole time with a little chuckle at the end. Your idea of retirement is much like mine, though I don't live as serenely as you. I still work some, (at a job), and keep busy. But I pretty much do what I want, when I want, at my pace, and on my schedule. That was the chuckle at the end. "Didn't get much work done, but I did X and Y. 2 outta 3 ain't bad." Life can't get much better. Thanks J.C.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

As long as you're doing what you want, that's all that counts. Yessah :-)

Such a wonderful visit you Boss and Mama and Tildy ❤

[@tseals5248]

Been watching you for years. And you always help relieve the tensions of the day. My wife is fighting colon cancer and is bedfast now. So I lay on the bed with her and watch your videos. Always bring a smile to watch and listen to your dreams and intentions for more adventures. Keep it up and hold on tight to the beautiful lady beside you. You never know when life could drastically change and throw you for a loop. But I remember back a few years ago you were thrown for a loop also. With a doctors report of your own. God bless you two. Hold on to one another. Cause for us 41 years together is just a drop of what we would love to spend together. We're highschool sweethearts and shes my angel. So I'm holding my angel and praying for a touch of the fathers hand. So that I could be blessed with as many years as possible with her. Keep living, keep loving, keep laughing. That's what's life is about. Thanks for all the good videos. We're here in Tennessee, born and raised. Been living simple for years. That's the good life. You know what's really important in life. Faith, family and freedom. Tennessee, out

[@thebossoftheswamp]

You are so very right my friend. Life can change in a blink and we don't always get second changes. I've added your angel to my prayer list. Many blessings to you and yours.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thanks so much!

[@brhc99]

And then he says ... "i didn't get much work done today, but now i'm getting a buzz". THAT statement sums up retirement. enjoy all that you have accomplished and keep looking forward to what you want to do, at a pace that suits you.

[@loulentz3107]

Hello Jim and Lori! Thank You for such an Outstanding Video! You both truly deserve this style of living! This video, in my opinion, is the very cornerstone of how one should seek to live! The best word in this entire production is the word, "unencumbered!" (Correction: Editor's Insert....the 2nd best word is "Buzzed!" LOL! ) It is great to see you back out hunting again! Congrats on the beautiful Buck you shot! I have been thinking more and more about the forthcoming deer seasons in my part of the world; while I no longer go, I still yearn to be out there in the Fall. (Fortunately, I still can get venison from relatives that hunt!) Glad you shared that with all of us! My friends, you are truly living the best life there is! All the Best, and God Bless! ~Lou

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Lou. I always appreciate your heartfelt comments. Many blessings.

[@debz3503]

Thank you Boss&Lori for sharing, it's good to hear from you. Your videos are a good distraction from all that's going on in the world&you teach us something everytime. That was nice to see how you had a goal/plans(which we all know how plans can go sometimes😏) and a bow. Then you had a nice buck! That was great to watch you go through the process of just a bow to a wonderful dinner&glass(or two😏) of wine 👍. Yes, how rewarding it must be to enjoy the fruits of your labor and satisfying to have a freezer full of meat for winter and plenty of wood. Thank you Boss for the tip about processing wild meat and how it's better to leave the fat out 👍. What do you do with the fat&scraps? Well Boss&Lori, retirement sure does agree with you and you two know how to do it well. Enjoy! You two worked hard&deserve it! What a life you two have managed to provide through all the ups&downs life threw at you! Tildy has the best life also🐾. I'm sure the cabin in the woods tugs at your hearts sometimes with the memories of Frankie😌. Tildy has turned out to be a great member of the family&she is just so happy go lucky! And a talker too! You stay safe Boss&Lori&Tildy too! Love you! 🏹🦌🍲🍷🤗❤️🙏.

Thank you for all your kind words my friend. Some scraps are cooked and fed to Tildy while some are put out for the birds in winter. :-)

Or did he retire, and his little girlfriend took over. Now I'll go watch the video...WELCOME BACK! WE MISSED YA! Blessings from Central Florida... EDIT: after watching the video. Didn't know Frankie has crossed the rainbow bridge. I feel your loss, and Tildy's as well. She is so beautiful. I am proud Frankie was a joy in my life, too.

Drooling here over that Dutch Oven! Reminds me of my Arizona days when the ex and I would go camping/hunting. We would dig a hole, throw some burning coals in the bottom, put the oven in there, throw coals on top and then bury it. Later it was a meal to die for. Only problem was leaving the woods to go home. The ex said I tended to turn into a witch with a b, because I didn't want to leave. Yeah, there was that. One time I actually told him to just leave me and the trailer there and come back next weekend. I had enough food and ammo for a week for sure. LOL

Geese migration. When they're flying in their "V" formation, one side of that "V" is always longer than the other. Do you know why? . . . . . There's more geese on that side. If a feller has a dedicated shovel for camp coals/cooking, he can use a hole saw to create holes for the ash to sift down, allowing only the hot coals to go to the Dutch Oven. Congrats on bagging a nice buck for the freezer! And a nice pile of Tildy snacks to dehydrate and store in the Bat Box.
