the bucket

Everybody loves water in the desert. I was pleasantly surprised during the edit to see that George made an appearance. I know him from all the other rabbits because of the tiny notch in his ear. A burro just happened to come by in time to be included. Ben went against the script and decided to just nudge the bucket. You can lead a steer to water but you can't make him drink.

I love this video! I feel bad for the bees. I keep a large bowl of fresh water in my backyard, all types of creatures drink from it, tons of bees as well. I put some floating sticks and leaves in the water so the bees can hoist themselves out

[@lindadonnajohns2190]

at least the description says the bees were rescued!

[@mindoverbread1213]

l Johns YAY!! I was stressed out for the bees :-D

[@lisirose]

Hate to tell you this but those are not bees, they are wasps.

[@treehuggermc1]

floating sticks is a great idea!

[@dainah105]

If I did this in Australia I would end up accidentally killing over 10 animals because a cane toad would get in the water before they all drink it and make it poisonous

[@afenismama]

the most simple things can be the most awesome! This was relaxing lol

[@FoMoFo]

The best film I've watched!! Thank you for doing this

[@domich888]

Truly. Relaxing. That's the best description. :-)

[@adrianelias2365]

Ancient Rome names are the best. You can thank J.K. Rowling for bringing them back to the mainstream: Severus, Cornelius, Lucius, etc.

[@hi-ls9gm]

afenismama Oh my goodness the bunny was so adorable!

[@Jannajx5]

This is a great example of what youtube was ment to be and what kind of content people were ment to watch but unfortunately everything went downhill and now we have stupid trends, drama, clickbait, racism, negativity and most creators do this for nothing else other than the money.

[@acemurphy2]

jannej amen !

[@jimmybungalo]

shush

[@TheH20please]

The best Friday night film to date. The best.

[@TheFieldLab]

Thanks...lets hope they just get better and better...

[@jmickart]

agreed

[@animalcam1438]

Agreed!!!

[@7kadoel]

Please makes this a live "stream". I need this in my life!

[@rixanneh18]

now THAT is a fantastic idea! So people can just stop in and hang out at the watering hole...er bucket...on their breaks or lunch or when they need a calming second. I bet it would get constant traffic.

[@dianamarie4351]

Oh man it would be

[@IRememberEverything33]

So beautiful it was emotional to me.

[@Xaj33]

Love this so simple but lovely to watch.

[@TheFieldLab]

Thanks...

[@SobaKick]

Who else is here after watching Ben Fogle

[@ioananicoleta01]

Meeeee!! I just saw the episode where Ben goes back to John’s 🤩

[@VOLKANCA]

🙈🙈🙈

[@annemukuria3032]

Same i am here watching from Kenya

[@secondsister1816]

Yep hehehehe

[@florentindogaru2456]

Me

[@rosekilledjack]

The bunny! 😍

[@abbystark3898]

Now this is a very very satisfying video. So nice to see all these animals quench their thirst. Good work.

[@amie_t.v.]

This video is strangely calming.

[@sonork]

Water looking a bit waspy today.

[@suckmysilencer747]

You've got great taste in music.

[@walterholder6077]

Saw this when it was originally posted. I have come back to it over and over. It brings a sense of peace.

[@CRIMSONarteries]

I’ve seen this video many times, and for whatever reason it makes me want to cry every time. Weirdly simple and beautiful, and I’m so glad you thought to do it.

[@queenofcrows]

I love how they're edited from littlest critter to biggest! :)

[@theonlyabsolute]

I need more of this

[@caroltucker9250]

Oh yes. It was way too short!! We want more

[@Tsinij]

"188 dislikes" What did you expect exactly? I mean this was lovely in a simple way.

[@acemurphy2]

Tsinij Up 217 dislikes now. Out of 4.5 MILLION views that's not to bad. The haters gonna hate.

[@MadebyMeche]

I think George is SO adorable and of course Ben had to be the bull(y) and bump the bucket. Love your creativity John.

[@SandsMemphis]

For bees, butterflies, and other insects, be sure to have rocks or stones in your water source that they can land on. That way they can get close enough to drink the water without drowning -- or needing rescue services.

[@onepercentmilk7662]

water is a PRECIOUS liquid

[@kellyanderson3412]

I love how all the animals shared the drinking water:-)

[@beasanjust6252]

@ Kelly Anderson I was thinking the same thing, a beautiful lesson

[@RobWaller72]

one of the most beautiful videos ive seen in my life. the ripples in the water from vibrating bees wings kinda haunting cause theyre trapped to die in this life sustaining substance ironically but the birds then eat them so circle of life. never saw a jackass look so good since (insert name here lol)

[@IronMan-fi3xz]

Came here after watching Ben Fogle's “Return to the Wild” episode

[@guillermojrboy3292]

IronMan Same.

[@JohnDoe-gb8st]

Makes 2 of us

[@renetaenunn5638]

to challenge a project, make it work and it finds an audience. Good video accompanied with the perfect music created harmony

[@ethanclarke3182]

Watching you on Ben Fogle right now :)

[@TheFieldLab]

Ben was a lot of fun to work with...

[@MA-lk1dl]

That's the reason I am here too! Watched it on BBC Earth 10 min a ago!

[@magicdaveable]

Very cool video. Happy that you saved the bees.

[@b3px983]

finally something that's not trash on trending videos

[@GraceUsleman]

I never knew how much I needed this video until I saw it

[@mbluetyphoon]

The sweetest thing I'd seen in awhile. Totally made my day. Thank you!

[@trentosterone]

Saw you on a documentary with a fashion photographer. loved seeing your lifestyle. keep enjoying that peace and quiet

[@SarcasticDuck]

First i was thinking "wtf is this?" but at the end i got oddly happy and satisfied.

[@FantasticFawnleap]

It’s animals and bugs drinking water what do you think it is!?

[@papaalphamike]

how delightful ☺ thank you. I have a bird bath that I clean and refill, place different food out for different size birds....and......rats. I don't bother them and they don't bother me. They live outdoors all winter. They are still here but increasing disagreements with the crows. The saga at the bird buffet..♥

[@MrCoryinnocence]

Love the choice in music the erhu sounds beautiful!

[@leeharrison8222]

Very relaxing and great choice of music. Definitely would like to see another video--and longer if possible. Thanks for sharing.

[@ahoosifoou4211]

like frogs in a well looking up at the sky

[@drkatel]

I love this! I'm watching on a very hot day and it's easy to imagine the relief each beautiful critter experienced lapping up such pristine water. And thanks for rescuing the bees!

[@davidwilliams3666]

Now THIS is what I want to see on trending. #bucketlivesmatter

[@musician4300]

Cat1911 is trending lol

[@Illtempo-nz1de]

Meems fuuuuck Casey.... the only way that dude could be trending every week like he does is that he must give like 99% of his ad revenue back to KZbin. That is the only explanation because his videos suck

[@KellyDsWorld]

if they suck then why are you watching and commenting on them ....troll!!!

[@EMERALDARROW]

Wait a minute...

[@Bellasrius]

Mohammed Ehab your thinking what I’m think🤔

[@philipward3868]

It's Ben! I'm in the UK watching Ben Fogles second visit to your amazing home in the desert! Much respect! X

[@Tamaresque]

A tip for the bees. A shallow dish of wet gravel will keep them happy. I used to own land with a creek which had a gravelly beach. I would lie there with my body in the water and my head on the gravel and watch our bees come down and delicately take sips from between the gravel. If you do have an open body of water, a wicker raft is a good idea. They can safely land and drink and not drown.

[@spikegillespie]

This is my new all-time favorite movie. Oh my dog! Beautiful. Thank you.

[@boydwhite3708]

Very very kewl video. I haul my water in in northern Nevada and know just how precious water is.

[@SerialSpinner-ss]

Agreed! This is the best so far. Ben was being polite by not putting his alfalfa snout into the water. Eeew, floaters!

[@rixanneh18]

one of the best videos ever. For relaxing, this one wins. For giggles, it's got to be the bunnies at The Dinner Party. Put them together for ultimate happiness.

[@JiHyunPeTziE]

I love seeing this kind of video., along with the music,, this video feels so calming., thank you for uploading this

[@aysepek1728]

niloya

[@mcwtlg]

One of my favorites yet!

[@lisawiththevizsla1]

I would like to see this every day to see who, what stops by. Awesome !

[@TheFieldLab]

It would get old pretty fast. I shot 5 hours of video to get this. Mostly water and blue sky.

[@mollsiemoo]

watching Ben fogal return to the wild bought me here! :) That rabbit is so cute.

[@TheFieldLab]

Thanks...Here is a little inside information. That cow we cut the head off of in the first program was the mother of my pet longhorn. Her calf was only 10 days old when she died. I rescued the calf and was bottle feeding it when they shot the first episode. I named him Ben while the crew was here but he was entirely left out of the story. And now you know - the rest of the story. Cheers!

[@mollsiemoo]

So glad you could rescue Ben :)

[@phapnui]

Finally struck gold here. Very Zen like, and that's a compliment. Thanks.

[@verogonza90]

Thank you for giving this beautiful animals some water.❤

[@JulieCliffeJonesv2]

Too cute, especially George and the donkey, thanks for sharing

[@mayagold10]

that was really heartwarming, would love more of these

[@happnlibrarian8415]

The music for this is exceptional! Thank you for this lovely work..

[@kkaosmusike1555]

So simple. So beautiful. Thanks!!

[@dj6718]

Thank you for rescuing the bees!

[@scottthompson3019]

I saw this guy on Ben Fogle's Lives in the Wild. What a wild life in the desert.

[@TheFieldLab]

Thanks for tuning in...

[@scottthompson3019]

TheFieldLab it was a great episode. Your life looks tough but fantastic. Hope life is good.

[@TheFieldLab]

My life is pretty easy...as long as don't break any more bones!

[@kurama.d.dragneel1738]

Just seen this on Ben Fogle! This video is actually really relaxing. What you do is amazing John and I hope you complete all your projects for the future! Good luck :)

[@TheFieldLab]

Thanks...be on the lookout for some solar baked bread soon!

[@PhillipReece]

Super cool! Looking forward to more! 😃

[@samiamohamed683]

This made me smile ear to ear!!

[@dianamarie4351]

This is so relaxing to me for some reason

[@contentlove1]

Lovely. Beautiful choice of underscore.

[@versatile6776]

Just watching you and Ben on his program in the UK. Good on ya John Stay lucky

[@LybioNews]

Water is life!

[@jenniferluna8492]

Please make more of these! So simple but so amazing. I can't help but watching it over an over.

[@teamchachi2020]

Ben Fogle: Return to the Wild brought me here. One of the most great stories that I’ve seen so far.

[@alisont.6940]

This is wonderful. You hit a home run with this one. Glad to subscribe to see what else you're doing.

[@Keepinitreel108]

Animals are awesome! How boring would the world be without them!!!

[@familyfun3311]

Fantastic video! Such a simple idea that gives me the feeling of child-like wonder.

[@stiripescurtpedoi6241]

Hello John! Love your lifestyle!

[@TheFieldLab]

Thank you! I love it too...

[@cmsquares]

Great idea for thirsty wildlife in the arid southwest US, but there should be a way for trapped critters to climb out. I put rocks in my water dishes on the ground, so honey bees can climb out on their own. Swimming pool owners could put in a Frog Log so small animals up to 1 lb can escape on the little ramp (such as chipmunks, lizards, bats, etc).

[@charlierobinson8726]

What a beautiful video. Thanks for posting!

[@Kodikat2]

Simple pleasures are the best!

[@Onionmole]

Came here after watching Ben fogle return to lives in the wild. Lovely relaxing animal video. ☺

[@TheFieldLab]

Ben is a professional when it comes to being in videos....

[@juliettenewton9205]

He's certainly very photogenic!

[@emma-yo2kw]

Why was this genuinely relaxing?

[@UrzliBoy]

Love it! I could watch this all day, thanks for sharing. The music selection is perfect, very zen.

[@englishforever]

We are all the creatures living on the same planet, under the same sky and drinking from the same bucket of water. We should have this in mindd when we consider hurting other people.

[@heidiannemorris]

Favourite clip of the year! Thank you :)

[@anjairis]

im glad to hear the bees got rescued :)

[@hemantdubey313]

Loved it😍😍😍😍 was worried about bees but very happy to read they were rescued....😚😚😚😚

I don't know why, but this made me so happy.

[@Meela234]

I really liked this. Water + music+ animals

[@abiscott857]

Saw this on Ben Fogle: New Lives in the wild where he came back and visited you 5 years on. So moving to see your story and to see you on another media platform. ❤️

[@TheFieldLab]

Thanks...it was an unexpected pleasure to have Ben Fogle come back for a return visit.

[@abiscott857]

TheFieldLab Yes definitely. I look forward to seeing him return in another 5 years... hopefully! 😂

[@roryshott3853]

this came out on my birthday. neat. also I find this interesting seeing how much one bucket can help

[@brendavandyke3305]

The only thing I didn't like was, it wasn't long enough. Very awesome idea! love animals and I was so glad u got rid of the insects! Nice job! 😃
