THE BACKWOODS CABIN. Workshops, Updates and Embarking on a Dream.

[@Prometheus203]

I love your passion and motivation. I was born and currently live in Florida but my Dad's family is from upstate New York and as a result I've spent a lot of time in the southern Adirondacks. I have a lot of dreams about living like this. My friends and family here ridicule me for wanting such a lifestyle but when I'm in the mountains I feel alive, I'm truly free.. Breathing clean air, watching the fireflies at night, admiring the stars, hunting, fishing, woodworking, gardening... All the things I love but can't do here in my deed restricted neighborhood surrounded by urban sprawl, smog and bumper to bumper traffic.. Someday soon I hope I'll get there.. Thanks for the videos.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Mark C. Follow your heart my friend. Cheers.

[@maureenhaggerty6600]

Frankie is such a good natured dog. Can't wait to see the videos on the transformation of the new building. Happy to see things are falling into place for you. Good luck on the buck !

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Maureen Haggerty Little by little it's all coming together. Thanks for commenting.

[@13prevailbushcraft]

J.C. I gotta say, watching your videos really motivates me to follow my dreams and do what I love, spend time with the people I love...Why would I do anything else other than what makes me happy...Life is too short to be doing things you hate...Keep up the great work buddy...

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+13prevail People do what they hate all their lives to chase money. Money they spend on shit while their dreams remain unfulfilled. Do what you love man... and make a business out it so all your toys are tax deductible :-)))

[@southernladywithmanyhats7428]

[@thebossoftheswamp]

The procedure went well. Thank you for your concern :-)

[@spudrubble]

14x24 is the size of the building I had delivered on my 20acres for my retirement home. I did not elect to get their windows because I wanted better quality then they offered. Thanks for another great video, you have no idea how much your videos help me get away from the things I'm dealing with. It allows me a nice mental escape, thank you.

[@swampratman2000]

great philosophy in life. I told my kids when they was young find something you love to do and figure out how to make a living doing it

[@ListenLearn2]

JC, great to see things moving along, and as always, I enjoy seeing you and Frankie in your updates. May God continue to bless your plans and direction He has laid out. -Todd

[@ModernMtnMan]

I've never met someone so aligned with how I want to live life. Every video of yours I watch just brings a smile to my face and makes me think of times at the family cabin with my grandfather as a boy. Keep those videos coming !

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Brandon Ritchey Happy to hear you enjoy them Brandon. Thanks for taking the time to say so.

[@alanj7306]

The Boss definitely knows how to live and enjoy life. I’m getting the wheels in motion to leave the “city” life and live more like the Boss. I’ve always wanted a simple lifestyle in the woods, just being in a cabin and chopping wood. God bless you and yours!

[@dannoquin7322]

JC, it's good to see such positive and constructive energy at work. As always, your videos are at the top of the heap. In the beginning, Frankie stole the show with those adorable eyes. "May the force be with you my friend!"

[@duanek1420]

JC I love the fact that you are a"doer" and not just a talker about it! Great job, good luck hunting. Looking forward to some of the workshop videos to come. Your back to basics approach is one that a lot of us enjoy watching! I am a faithful subscriber! Thank you!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Duane K The more dreams I conquer, the more dreams I chase. It becomes an addiction but a good one. Cheers "-)

[@fatsoryan9759]

Nothing more rewarding like a plan and a dream coming to fruition...best regards to you and Frankie

[@jwastrickland]

Really impressed with your progress! Its great to see an update. The building in front - you are a smart man!! The shop looks like a good setup too. For the extra cost of that little tin roof area, you certainly have some extra space that will be useful! Good luck with the deer! Enjoy the hunt and the butchering. Look forward to hearing from you again.

[@Ungovernable74]

Love that you're making it all happen. Great video. It opened up a father/son talk opportunity. Thx JC.

[@micjam1986]

A dream and a plan combined with some patience and focused hard work and next thing you know your livin that dream!! Good stuff...Yes sir!

[@pressurewashpros703]

You inspire me to be a better person everyday. Your videos bring me a great deal of peace and serenity. You can sleep well tonight knowing you made a difference in at least one person's life. Thank you my friend, thank you very much.

[@alanj7306]

The Boss is an inspiration to us all!!

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Love that rough cut siding on the cabin. Looking to do the same to mine. Great videos.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+The Homesteads of Billy Goat Mountain Thank you :-)

[@MsWireland]

Now is the time. God bless you and Frankie.

[@vlvtopcat]

God speed to you bossman on following your dream.I took the nite off from work at the machine shop. Got me some computer time.And what a joy to see you posted a new vid.Thanks Boss you made my night. My dream is coming closer each year.After retiring to purchase a 6x12 cargo trailer and set it up as a portable small engine repair shop.Ive already got a 60 gal compresser,3500 generator,sm. mig welder,drill press,and plenty of hand and power tools.And what my father taught me is priceless.Thanks for the vid and always God Bless.Bobby

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Robert Harrison Sounds like you've got a great plan for yourself. Best of luck to you my friend.

[@ChileExpatFamily]

I like the metal roof. I think it will last longer too. Love the video and glad to see you back in good health. Jim

[@SwampDonkey530]

A grand plan indeed JC, sad to see your homestead go but rejoice in the fruition of your dreams...but first, take up your bang stick and go enjoy some soul tonic..you've earned it buddy!!!

[@hairfarmer07]

Congrats. RIGHT ON RIGHT ON man. My heart is full. Just knowing you are fulfilling your dreams and moving forward makes me happy. A man always need to keep busy and you definitely do. Thank you for your share. And I am looking forward to see what's next. Thank you sir. ONE LOVE.

[@ShawnAndera]

Best of luck in the hunt. Hope you bag a nice big one that will provide ample meals for you and Frankie.

[@BreAnaFla]

for Frankie... food grade diatomaceous earth. It's good for parasites and skin irritation. You can sprinkle on his food and apply to his skin. Coconut oil is also good internally and on his skin. Lots of good uses for both of these products. Thank you for the inspiration of living ones best life and dreams.

[@thewaverslmao.1149]

Stopped studying just to watch your video. I can't wait for the day I can say I'm all caught up and everything is falling into place. :) Everyone of your video is motivational and inspirational. They sure brighten up my day! Great and happy to hear things are going well. Wish the very best for you my friend.

[@alanj7306]

Boss, God bless you and your! You’re an inspiration to us all. Love from the Judge!

[@notsheeple2019]

Congrats on things coming together. We were like you time to build compared to move in ready with a little work. You made a great choice. Look forward to seeing you get the business side running. One day our cabin and homestead will be done. God Bless.

[@TheHappyJack.1]

Glad to see you back on the tube and feeling better. Good luck with the new building. Happy Jack

[@jcnme]

God Bless You in All You do My Friend ! My Father Always said ; "Plan your work and Work your Plan".......

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Your dad had it right. God Bless

[@Hatch61]

Thanks for sharing Boss, I understand the difficulties in working alone, I just built a small art studio for a friend, and working alone, I became the king of jigs, and clamps.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Hatch61 Gotta love jigs and clamps. Can't live without them :-)

[@stevekushman3030]

Sounds like the plans and dreams are coming together. You are making very good progress - just keep chipping away at and you will be there soon.

[@MsSherpaT]

What a great way to start my day....with one of your videos! Thanks Boss! You're the best!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Tara Marlowe You always put a smile on me Tara. Cheers :-D

[@Markam248]

The shop and the business are looking good. Best of luck on the fast food (deer). Always enjoy your videos. Mark

[@J297WFD]

Fantastic work! It's awesome seeing the progress. It must be a really good feeling. Thanks for sharing. Good luck getting the deer.

[@toddboone1845]

Great to see everything coming together for you! Give Frankie a scratch under the chin for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@8869crysler]

Always look forward to the videos. That Frankie, he just hams it up. Nice job on the workshop. It's got to feel great seeing the wheels of your dream really rolling. Keep me updated on your whitetail hunting success. God bless.

[@markemert6902]

Gotta love when a plan starts to take shape....:) Time to fill the freezer indeed....shoot straight....:) Looking forward to seeing the projects come together...best wishes to you and Frankie!!!!

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

very cool Boss. wish you all the best and look forward to you sharing it with us.

[@BRUSHWOLF-qn6qh]

You are living the dream. Good for you.

[@Southpaw210]

Good luck deer hunting Boss..all the best from your fans in WV.

[@alicelewis7261]

[@dnngskn62]

Glad to see your plans are coming together. i know you dreamed and planned for quite awhile. Best of luck to you and Frankie in all you do. Hope you fill your freezer with venison.

[@timboyce2883]

making good progress . will be glad when I can get started on mine , I keep reminding myself "baby steps" one day I will have it.

[@jackgeorge5799]

You are an inspiration for living the dream!

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

2 nice buildings you got there,look forward to see it come together.great stuff take care

[@upstatenyphann]

Power to ya man! I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is such a positivity to your videos. It's wonderful. You don't get embroiled in politics or religion or any of that stuff, you keep it to more simple indivisible things. It's very much appreciated. In an era where people are so divided its very nice to see one of your videos pop up on my subscription list, because I know it's going to filled with positivity and forward momentum. And since you mentioned bagging a white tail, how about you bust out that Spiedie Marinade recipe I sent ya a while back. I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

[@rodney12310]

Looks like that building was built good!! Good luck with your business!!

[@natemckenzie5358]

JC - I think the ideas you presented on why it makes sense to have the building up by the road for your "business" (Some kind of food related venture??) makes COMPLETE sense to me. I've scanned the art prints, etc. from the site you forwarded and I think it is impressive. I imagine the "business" will also be so. I enjoy the fact that you follow 'THE MEAT TRAPPER" and just wanted to say that both of you are people that LOTS of younger folks need to listen to and think about the ideas / attitudes/ experience / skills / etc . you men discuss. I really like your art, but I just LOVE your videos! I look forward to all you publish. I was lucky that I worked at something for nearly 40 years that I enjoyed...and that made it possible for me to raise my kids "off the grid" even though I left our cabin in our woods here in Indiana every morning and worked for a VERY large Company all day. KEEP THEM COMING...I'D LOVE TO SHARE A BEER WITH YOU BEFORE I CHECK OUT!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Nate McKenzie Thank you Nate. I'd tip a beer or two with you any time. Thanks for commenting.

[@johnarizona3820]

The roofing looks great and you cant beat the durability. God bless brother.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+John Arizona Thank you John. Blessings to you as well.

[@tonyeden8381]

Hey Boss............you got some great stuff going on.........the thing I envy you for is your commitment and motivation.......I'm kinda hoping watching you is gonna rub off on me a bit and inspire me........thanks for the update.....cheers 👍

[@keltingr2612]

I only check in from time to time but been watching for a few years now, always enjoy your videos, you're blessed to have such a great place to enjoy life! take care

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Keltingr Thank you kindly :-)

[@stevehetzer1]

My wife have been talking about this for years. Now we are starting. Great little cabin. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+stevehetzer1 Best of luck with your plans.

[@mikebox]

Happy things are happening for you JC. Patience isn't always easy, but if we show a little things usually happen. I look forward to seeing how your work shed looks once you've finished it. Will you insulate it more? And with a freezor, laundry machine etc. what will it be? Anyway, great seeing your video, and looking forward to hearing more from you soon. Give all our love to Frankie.

[@northernlassie4958]

Everything looks perfect JC! You will live comfortably, simply and be one with nature. What a blessed life :)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Northern Lassie "Comfortably, simply, and being one with nature" Is the only way I want to live. Two with nature sounds good too occasionally '-)

[@northernlassie4958]

+thebossoftheswamp Yes with someone who is kindred... one way conversations can get strange in time :P

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Northern Lassie That's what Frankie says :c)~

[@BaFunGool]

Thanks for profiling your work shop, gave me ideas for a generator shed.

[@mr.fisher3973]

Good luck in your new adventures. Great looking buildings!! I envy you!!!

[@johngallagher2313]

Good luck on the hunt and all the other projects. I will be watching for updates.

[@Smitty_76]

Good job on seeing things through. JC you actually helped me put things in perspective recently. I've wanted a hunting cabin my whole life, along with many other wants, and may possibly have the opportunity after this year to buy a friend's place. I decided to quit wishing and do something about it by picking my side job back up and getting my finances in order so that if I have the chance I can jump on it. I'm truly happy in the woods and want to see my kids and perhaps their kids someday have a place to enjoy in the outdoors. Truly enjoy your videos, thank you sir.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Stefan Schmidt Sounds like you've got a great plan in order. Good for you brother. Follow your heart :-)

[@goose2die4]

Sounds as almost a new life from cabin to cabin ! My best wishes !

[@Sheila6325]

I love it when we "Live the Dream" I did some of that a while back, and like you, I'm finally ready to go the extra mile, to finish up on my "Living the Dream" too! I was quite shocked at how much I actually got done, when I took a very good look at my place. I also kept one of my properties separate from my cabin, and although I am not sure what I will do with that yet, single use or multiple, I'm sure when I move there, It will all fall into place. I have only 3 small jobs to finish before I can move in for good, but I am on my way too. It's SO GOOD to have a dream, and actually live it. So encouraging for me, and so many others. Thank you, Sheila

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Sheila6325 So nice to hear of others who follow their hearts and dreams. Thanks for sharing your success with me Sheila. Good for you my friend. :-)

[@homesteadbeginner]

Thank you for the updates! Great to see you making progress on your dream. And thanks for the inspiration and motivation. God Bless my friend.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Jeff Schweiger Thank you Jeff and blessings to you as well.

[@jjjvclub]

Great job on the workshop! Nice feeling when a plan comes together! Best of luck!

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

It's good to see things are moving right along for you at the Backwoods Cabin. We just got a building, too. Now I will have a place to keep my gardening supplies and a section for starting seeds early next season. Hubby will have the other half for all his tools and I will have my front porch back. Yay! It has served him as his shop for the last couple of months and it was getting old. You did a really nice job with the work shop.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Gardening With Puppies Certainly is nice to have space for things but too much space leads to too many things. sometimes :-o

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

thebossoftheswamp You've got that right. When we bring our things from storage, we are going to go through it all with a fine toothed comb. Less is best.

[@dennispoley6005]

Can't beat the quality premade sheds and garages! Good luck in your new endeavor...and on the hunt!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+dennis poley Thank you kindly :-)

[@1timby]

Glad to see that you're feeling better. I'm anxious to see or hear more about your business. I used to own & run a restaurant. Great vid...Thanks

[@Owen4it]

Follow your dreams Boss... a happy home is a happy heart. Love the new work shop at the cabin! I've admired your rocking chair, did you make it or purchase it? It looks like an interesting winter project. I believe that anything the woods gives up is a trophy... I hope you have good luck! Thanks for sharing!

[@47LeDoux]

[@stevearmstrong9071]

Hey Boss your shops are looking really nice, but you could have never got it done without Frankie's supervision! haha I know what you mean about working by yourself being a real pain but the rewards of the finished product make it all worth while. You've got it going on; thanks for sharing.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Steve Armstrong Frankie read this and now demands I up his cookie rations :c)~

[@kevintulak9987]

Looking real good. Good luck with your hunting, I haven't gotten anything yet myself so need to get out the freezer needs some red meat. Looking forward to watching you fulfill you dream.

[@caljim1950]

Great to hear from you Boss! You've certainly been busy. Now I like to think I 've been watching you enough to know what you're doing. But despite all the vids I've seen, I must've missed the one where you disclosed your business. Please tell me.

[@backcountrypipe]

Great video JC, For some reason I truly enjoy all the chores that come with autumn, no matter how busy it may be. Everything is looking great and it seems like things are coming together for you. Best of luck deer hunting, my vacation starts on Wednesday and I will be in the woods for a week and a half chasing those darn deer. Gotta love it! All the best buddy Mark
