Squirrel vs 11 Year Old Boy - Matching Wits....Who Will Win??? Squirrel Obstacle Course!

This is a single video that compiles a 10 part series filmed about a year ago. Eli goes up against a particularly smart 'Ninja' squirrel that just seems to ignore every obstacle he comes up against in his quest for food! Eli has some ups and downs but ultimately figures out how to thwart this Ninja squirrel.

Eli is going to make a great engineer! He is so creative!

[@fatherandsonsfishing]

I loved this series and I'm glad you put it all together in a single video. I'll admit... for a WHILE I wasn't sure if Eli was going to outsmart the squirrels, but he must have inherited his dad's sharp mind because he figured it out!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks buddy....we were a tad worried too :-) Have a great week!

[@SleeTheSloth]

This was fun! My takeaway from this was that the local plumbing store is rich and out of PVC pipe. The local birds have now been putting on some extra pounds. The local squirrels are getting confused and may need counseling. LOL Great Job!

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

That ninja squirrel is impressive when he gets his momentum going. Poor squirrels at the final part must have felt nauseous after a few tries.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol...I'm pretty sure they loved it :-)

[@BigRedEDC]

I love this!! Both are relentless in their goals...lol!!!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks buddy....battle of wits haha! Have a great day!

[@bigofishbone]

Kudos for both the young man and to his dad…We need more dads like him and kids that are interested just like this young man…Sorry squirrel,,,although you’re pretty dang smart…

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Well thank ya sir...we have fun doing it!

[@destinationdero]

These squirrel obstacle courses are so funny.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks! Have a great week!

[@houseuponthemountain8540]

Oh my goodness, what a fun thing you do with a squirrel obstacle course! Lol!!! So cool! I'm going to show this to my husband because it would be so fun to do this too!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Appreciate you :-)

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

I was starting to think that squirrel was unstoppable. Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thank ya sir...so did we!

[@FishfearmeStudios]

I'm sure that squirrel is training for a comeback.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol I wouldn't disagree with that!

Good stuff! Takes a lot of work to out smart these guys! 🤣

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks Mr. Ken...they are amazing little creatures :-)

[@RobbieUtah]

Great fun! Thanks Eli!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks for visiting!

[@ragnarmjolnir9654]

Laffin my @$$ off. You guys are killin me with squirrel shenanigans 👍

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

:-) Thanks for stopping by!

[@johnrosshruniuk1985]

Vasaline!!!! It sticks to everything even after rain. Lube the pvc up

[@cliffcampbell8827]

I'm thinking of something with a double trapdoor setup. The squirrel goes inside the structure (smooth walls to prevent climbing). At this point, the squirrel is standing on the trapdoor that will eject him. There is a rope up to the seed platform...which is also connected to both trap doors. Once the squirrel starts to climb up the rope, the upper trap door falls into place (above blocking the squirrel from the seed) and opening the lower (ejection) trapdoor. The rope can only have grip on the lower part so the squirrel can activate both doors but not climb up and force his way through the prevention trapdoor and the rope has to have enough length to drop down and force a release of the squirrels grip at the end of the drop.

Disney had it wrong. It wasn't wiley cyote vs. Roadrunner. It was Eli vs. Ninja Squirrel !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Great memories brother!😂😂😂

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

:-) Was time for a compilation ha!

[@Wanna.Wander]

These are the most fun videos to watch💜💜💜fun to see the two of you conspiring against the lil suckers Dang, that squirrel 🐿 got around those long ones!!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thank ya mam :-)

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Chris, Brilliant video showing all the various adaptations and developments in one place. I love the original series and great to see it again in this version. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Hey Mr. Huw....thanks so much! I think it was time for a compilation of that 10 part series haha! Have a good one!

[@acesegura0694]

That looks like an interesting project, 🤔 them squirrels are definitely crafty

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

They are!

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Awesome, man. I remember the original series you did. It was so entertaining. The condensed version is great, too. Take care.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thank ya sir! Have a good one!

[@suer6103]

I'm only up to 6 min. but i still think the feeder tray is too close to the last wheel. Squirrels can jump pretty far. This is a great way to spend father son time! I enjoy these vids so much! As far as catapulting goes, squirrels are not hurt so why should it bother anyone. The whole idea is to find something the squirrels don't like to keep them away. If they really didn't like the catapult, they'd not come back to it! These videos have also made my brain start working but the only thing I can see for sure is, as long as a squirrel has someplace to put his feet, even for a millisecond, he can jump! Oh....& all squirrels are ninjas! Way to go Eli!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks for watching 😃

[@markissboi3583]

If only the Squirrel Waved at the camera :)

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

lol maybe if I were better at editing :-)

[@texasjoe557]

That was a good laugh. I like the way the squirrel fell from above to the middle of the obstacle, like he jumped out of a plane @21:28. Way to go! Squirrel defeated!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks for stopping by sir! Yea that was a treat seeing that when I was going through footage...wish I could have gotten the actual jump :-) Have a great day!

[@tipsytrippinrednecks]

Thanks for sharing that was wicked cheers

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks buddy have a good one!

[@lindahawkins4252]

Kudos to a great father son project

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

😊

[@houseuponthemountain8540]

Are these like flying squirrels or what!? What in the world! I can't believe they can do all of this! This is crazy! They are persistent!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks for stopping by :-)

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Should’ve entered that squirrel in the olympics. Haha! Geez, boy them rascals can do some impossible things, that ain’t no doubt! Hahahahaha, don’t give up Eli!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol you right! Thanks for stopping by sir! Have a great day!

Bring back the “ catapult “ ta hell with the ❄️ ‘s

[@thomasebbitt4532]

i love this...keep using your imagination...

[@SCUMDOGFISHING]

Eli you have to be smarter than the tree weasels 🐿🤣🤘

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

hahaha maybe!

[@MrBlack.]

You should let that squirrel take all of Eli's exams for him. Did you know that a squirrel has an IQ of 180 when it zeros in on a nut? And... they can almost fly and jump 50 times their own height. You guys need to try a complete vertical and/or a baffling approach and good luck with that. (grins) I've seen them outsmart a brain surgeon and a rocket scientist.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

hahahahaha!

[@DavidBleasby]

Congratulations Eli !!! you finally got them !!! I find it hard to believe you have that many snowflake subscribers !!!! Go ahead and catapult some squirrels, I'm in 🤣😎👍🏻

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

hahaha :-)

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Squirrels would make for an awesome military, as they can adapt and overcome many obstacles bro.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

hahaha you are right!

[@JohnAmes]

Thanks for the great video my friends

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@Rick-SPLATman]

Loved the video. I still think you should bring on the catapult or a squirrel trebuchet. The birds would be happier. Just saying 😂

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol love it :-) We may or may not have launched a few squirrels in our day ha! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXicn2qvordnsJY

[@ToddAutry]

Squirrel time.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

:-)

[@SDMountainMan]

Awesome fun dirty devil's keep trying

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

hahaha!

[@kallykat]

Good job kiddo

[@robrowland2113]

At this point I think it would be cheaper to just invest in a squirrel bar and keep it stocked same as the bird feeder! L.O.L

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

Ok , I figured Eli must be 14 or so now, so please tell me this must have been from the earlier series two or three years ago. When I see him on the boat now the young man looks like he’s filling out. Love these squirrel videos though.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Lol yessir this footage is from several years ago....was 10 individual videos...just combined them into a single one :-)

[@bmoutdoors_5912]

Eli is only 11

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

This footage is from a couple years ago :-)

[@giovanni512]

Try to rub an lubricant oil on all pvc

[@hstevenadams1202]

A great principle... stick-to-it-tivness! The squirrel must be a democrat.

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

hahahaha

[@99991ray]

click-click............................. P O W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Problem solved.......

[@henryshockem9242]

Is it a few squirrels or just one certain one? Do you think one could be teaching the others?
