HOW I MAKE MY LIVING AS A HOMESTEADER. A Life Of Self Reliance.

[@eagleheart3207]

A wise man does not keep the KNOWLEDGE to his self, He shares it to those that will listen. Thank you Boss for sharing that KNOWLEDGE. God Bless.

[@StellaAsh]

Eagle Heart Knowledge shared is Knowledge squared.

[@glensalch3156]

Thanks for that comment.....I needed that

[@sagrammyfour]

One thing my mama taught me: "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without."

[@amoredona]

You don't have to prove yourself to anyone. Thank you for all the videos you put out to help others.

[@Aethuviel]

What I wanted: Short talk about how to make money off-grid. What I got: Hearty, inspirational speech about motivation and working for your dream. Thank you.

[@sylviapap3]

Very generous of you to share all this information. You didn't have to and from all the other videos I watch, the secret is just simplifying and diversifying your activities so that you can fully enjoy life. Thank you Boss

[@starraider2291]

The reason those guys made negative comments about your lifestyle was because they were envious of you. Your living the dream they wished they had, but weren't smart enough to achieve. You have done extremely well and i admire your achievements. You got a good head on your shoulders. As always, your videos are great and educational:)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for your kind words starraider :-))

[@chrisp755]

I really appreciate your time to explain to your sceptics, but those of us who have watched know you're salt of the earth! Great channel

[@zone4garlicfarm]

More people need to hear things like this. My lifestyle and life of acccumulating wealth is much like yours. I am in my mid 50s and haven't worked full time since my late 20s. I'm currently mentoring a couple young people in trimming expenses and being self reliant. It's a lot of fun watching them learn to get rich slowly.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Well done my friend :-)

[@jerryskidlsd]

I myself am an artist and just now starting to homestead , also starting from a low income. This video is inspiring to me as this life is a masterpiece in the making . It's beautiful and doesn't cost a thing!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you and best of luck with your plans.

[@robertsimmons1264]

Good on you. I'm 67 and moving to Alaska in May. Never stop moving...

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Good luck with your journey :-)

[@oceanbluelady7760]

I'm so tired of struggling with life trying to make a living. I really appreciate What you're doing. Great channel. Very informative!

My husband and I enjoy your videos and look forward to your next one. You’re a very positive person and we like the way you live your life

[@johnblackie646]

Your doing everything right for you and inspiring others, it's nobody's business what you do for a living, there will always be haters, Best of Luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Great video! Very encouraging to fellow homesteaders. Diversify your income opportunities. Simplify your life. Thanks!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you

[@dianehall5345]

Wow JC, was this video two + years ago?? I well remember you giving this talk my friend. No silver spoon my friend... You Nashua...me Manchester! I am so pleased and proud that you chose this lifestyle back in the 1980s and stayed true to your dreams!

[@benengle7353]

Thanks for sharing your story. I think that there are many people out there that dream of the lifestyle that you have, but just don't take that step and make the necessary changes in their hectic life to make it happen. My wife and I are working towards something similar, and hope to get there within the next few years.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Your comment is spot on. Most dream and do nothing. Best of luck to you with your plans.

[@Sammy_316]

I find that some people that comment on these channels seem to have a problem with people making and/or having money or success. I don't know if it is jealousy or what, but this is America, success is a good thing. But, with that being said, another persons financial situation is none of my business nor anyone else as well. I wish you nothing but success in your endeavors, Boss. Thanks for the video.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Sam :-)

[@AmericanLibertyFighters]

My wife and I started watching your channel after we made our minds up to get out of debt and live our lives. Your channel has made us both decide that there is no time to waste and we're doing everything possible to make the transition sooner. You've been an inspiration and I'm glad we found your channel. You sir, put out videos that I wait for with anticipation. Needless to say, your channel is my favorite and I always save your videos for the last of our day. Thank you so much for your insights and logic that you share. Looking forward to your next one.

[@ShellsFurrBabies]

I find you very inspirational, and wanted to say thank you for taking your time to talk to us. My husband & I have been talking about homesteading for a few years now. It seemed a bit overwhelming, but your advice is very helpful. Please ignore those that talk trash about you, there are always going to be ignorant people out there that are jealous, they want things but dont want to do the work or make the scarifices it takes to get there.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Glad you're enjoying my videos Michelle. Thanks for taking the time to say so.

[@sandrab4336]

You are an inspiration to myself and many others. You make life look effortless somehow, even with your physical issues and the amount of energy you expend doing the simple life.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for saying so :-)

[@mowater1]

My take is it's no one else's business how or where your dreams were made to happen, Two things are apparent are you worked your tail off and you planned your steps and worked your plan. Great wisdom. Thank You for sharing as your common sense , yet for many is not so common, was meaningful for me. Thank You-Randall- MO.

[@mattclark5480]

tell them boss another great video and Merry Christmas to you

[@chrisp755]

Matt Clark agreed!

[@dnngskn62]

All of your long time subscribers know your story well. A dream and hard work and common sense will do a lot for you. The haters will hate. Keep the vids coming bossmam.

[@happyoutdoorsireland6787]

Donnie G the moment I clicked play. only thing I learned in this video was he spent 13 years in the one spot

[@cleeisme1]

Jason Kerley Then you didn't actually listen to this video or you would have heard him say that he spent a few years in the Northwest which was another one of his goals he fulfilled

[@birdsadventuresinwoodandmusic]

Always love your "back woods logic". It's just so......logical!

[@dabprod]

Yes......and good old common sense.

[@phillippruitt5462]

BirdsAdventuresInWoodworking I would like to know how to get land to start homesteading.thx.for any info or help.

[@CupcakeFaerie]

My partner and I just discovered your channel and are soooooo grateful for your videos!! Thank you for everything you share, JC. We live in western NY and are hoping to purchase some land and be living in the woods within the year. We have been watching KZbin videos for a while, trying to glean as much wisdom and knowledge on how to do this. Your channel covers ALL the bases. Thank you for being so awesome and keep up the good work!! You are such a blessing, my friend 😊

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Sounds like a good plan Kitty. Best of luck to you and yours :-)

[@daviddixon2209]

The key to happiness is not getting everything you want rather, it's being satisfied with all that you have. Of course, living debt-free helps immensely.

[@oldgunnersmate2100]

Some people are uncouth , keep doing what your doing and ignore it

[@ruthardt4adventure995]

Great video for sure!! We decided to become debt free 5 years ago. Everything changed for us with debt freedom. We then worked and saved for 4 years and now live a life like no one else so we can give like no one else!

[@SharonsHomestead]

Ruthardt 4 Adventure, sounds like you are “weird” too! I’m doing the same because I follow Dave Ramsey!

[@jes5612]

Thank you for sharing your life with me. Your testimony is such a blessing. My husband and I are trying to do the same as you ...but it looks as if you are doing even better! May The good Lord continue to bless you 😊

[@paullutz8315]

Makes sense, setting goals to live the life you want and then working toward that would bring satisfaction as you progress. As mentioned below, a constant need for instant gratification would really make it hard to accomplish that long term goal. You sound like you manage delayed satisfaction well. Thanks for all you do. I really enjoy your channel!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Instant gratification isn't always gratifying because it usually comes with a train of debt trailing behind :-o

[@beckyjacobs5594]

I enjoyed this, coffee in my hand, same flannel on. You are a man that speaks my language.

[@zeroa6]

Amazing! I feel very identificated with your lifestyle. Thanks for sharing!

[@Prometheus203]

Thank you for this video! I love hearing your story. I was born and raised and currently live in southwest Florida but my Dad is from upstate New York and I have spent a considerable amount of time in the Adirondack Mountains hiking and exploring while visiting with family. I fell in love with the Adirondacks as a child because of the magic of its natural beauty, specifically being able to see the stars, the clean air and water, having camp fires and escaping the hustle and materialistic lifestyle experienced here in Florida on a daily basis. The land here in Florida is also extremely expensive, the taxes are high and the building codes very restrictive so even if I wanted to stay I'd never be able to afford anything reasonable without a large mortgage and substantial predictable income which is something I've wanted to avoid at all costs. Even renting in this area is unreachable as my friends pay upwards of $1300 a month for two bedroom apartments. My uncle just recently offered to sell me 10 acres in upstate NY inside the Adirondack park for a reasonable amount of money which I have in savings! So I believe I may finally have a start to my dream of someday living a lifestyle similar to yours.

[@MrRain-hk4zi]

Best wishes Mark!

[@robnevins8788]

where I live in lake placid, fl there are some 5 acre properties inexpensive. near me listed now for 30,000 zoned ag with low taxes

[@mascatrails661]

how cool!!! yes, totally go for it! We actually lived in FL for many years and owned our house in Ft. Lauderdale. We experienced the same thing, $2300+/yr in taxes for our .25acre plot & house, VERY limited in what we could build or create there due to city code, restrictions, and permits. We also just didn't love the vibes, we didn't have many people who were genuinely interested in getting back to the land near by us, so we felt very alone in our dreams. Recently, we sold our house in FL and bought some acreage in W.North Carolina and are finally living our dreams of homesteading and could not be happier! We have fresh spring water from our land gravity fed into our little cabin, our power bill is $35/mo, taxes are like $400/yr, we have fires every night with wood we harvested & split on our land, and never hear a single sound from the city or neighbors, although we have a resupply town just 15 min away and 3 major cities within 2 hours each direction. Your dream of getting away from the hustle and bustle of S.FL is totally worth going after. You can do it, and we completely believe in you! :) Kate & Rafi Masca www.HomesteadForEveryone.com

[@Megatron995]

You were definitely in the wrong part of Florida! Come inland and go north a bit to reach Polk County, which is pretty much smack in the center of the state. Almost everything here is dirt cheap, including the dirt itself. You just have to know when to buy. If you try to buy when the snowbirds are all deciding that they'd rather just stay, you'll get taken. Once that season ends? It's a gold mine of opportunities. The only catch is that you still need to stay out of the cities to avoid hassles, but that's easy enough in this area. Building codes are quite reasonable in unincorporated Polk, assuming you're not trying to live in a shed with no plumbing or something far out like that. As a bonus, tropical storms and hurricanes become a lot weaker by the time they get here. The coasts, as you know, get totally blasted with every storm, even the ones that are nothing but a lot of rain by the time they get inland.

[@s731s]

Mark C. Reading your stories inspired me, I've lived in the big city my whole life, I rent and have zero assets or even money in my bank. But this is why we have internet and KZbin right. To learn and educate ourselves on what's out there and what's possible. Keep living the dream. Funny enough, mine includes spring water.

[@lehampton1]

Your methods aren't for everyone. I discussed your snowball plan with my wife. We were looking for expenditures we could do without. I suggested she could cut back on makeup purchases and she suggested I could cut back on beer purchases. She argued the makeup was to make herself look more attractive to me. I came back that was what the beer was for. Now I have a hotel payment to make. 😰

[@thebossoftheswamp]

HAHAHAHAHA. I needed that chuckle this morning.

[@johnhodg8400]

OFF The topic , but that was a damn good one !!!! LOL ;o

[@donnamusic777]

I have heard that one before.

[@mooseknuckle8334]

Hahahaha

[@the1plantguy]

Thats funny right there.

[@karenchandler8282]

I hate being a kill joy, but you talked about fur. I am one of those individuals who loves furs but it has to be faux fur. I have a catalog that I found that only sales faux coats , hats, boots, earmuffs. Everything that a woman who loves anything faux will enjoy. So I am in heaven every time I read it. Moving on, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your channel because I want my own homestead. I am beyond thrilled that I found it today. Your the second person that I will follow now who has a homestead.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I can appreciate what you're saying but it's good to be open minded. When I worked as a nuisance wildlife control officer and had to remove problem animals from farms and such, it was illegal to transport and relocate wildlife. It makes more sense to utilize the animal rather than toss it in a dumpster etc. The law required the animal were put down.

[@jbgem1369]

Today, I thank God that he gave me the opportunity to find this and listen to you. It brings tears of joy in my eyes..... Im beginning to garden and I just learned the best lessons in life that you shared... Such an inspiration. Thank you

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts :-)

[@mikekodrich5588]

hi boss,I also started with nothing.......and I have most of it left!

[@patrioted9543]

Amen Boss, Living below your means is a lost art these days. It is an instant gratification place we live in now. Common sense is out of date but much needed these days.

[@oldtimeengineer26]

People just do not understand that us older people have already worked for more then 60 years at least for me. in that amount of time you can do a lot as long as you do not spend what you make all those years

[@dabprod]

@old time........its as simple as that. I'm in my mid 70's and have always lived very conservatively and frugal and owned several small businesses. Haven't had a "job" in almost 40 yrs. Happy as a Lark and financially independent.

[@omgwtfits7612]

It's very good to hear a success story. The simple truth is that 60 years ago you lived in a totally different world and if you think telling a 20 year old to do what you did in 1950 is going to help them along the way you're dreaming.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

Good for you you seem to be rather happy with your life. So are your birds.... You never have to explain to anyone how you make a living but it was nice to hear the different things you do.

[@dublelung1]

Awesome success story! Congratulations to you for hanging in there and doing what you had to do in order to fulfill your dreams.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you

[@outdoors446]

I find it amazing that people can't say good for you, you earned with all that hard work put in. sad for them. My thing is do what is right and go forward. Thanks Boss for the great inspiration.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Well said :-)

[@409mark]

it should be obvious even to a blind man you have worked hard for everything you got and its none of their buesiness how you earn a living i cannot get over some peoples nerve keep on keeping on dude best to you and yours

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Well said boss people assume i came into a lot of money also.Like you i made wise decisions as i moved forward and now reap the benefit.You are wise not to put all your eggs in one basket.Do many different things that way life is more enjoyable.Great content and dont worry about the naysayers there just jealous of success that they cant seem to achieve.keep living my friend

[@tonyblackmon6356]

It's no one's business where your money comes from. You make video's of your daily life and how you do things. Most people are just jealous and too lazy to make an effort to do the same. I like watching you and your companion dog going to the homestead and chilling out. It's no one's business where your money comes from.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I didn't make the video to explain anything to anyone, but rather to show the folks that are interested in this lifestyle that there's more than one way to earn a living. An independent lifestyle is hard to have when you rely on only one source of income. Cheers :-)

[@tonyblackmon6356]

I agree totally.

[@__________________________7455]

[@janethustek114]

So much of what you say reminds me of my father and what he taught us as children. Invest in yourself. He made sure that, as children, we always put so much of the money we had in the bank. It was saved for later when we wanted to do something special. Thank you for the reminders.

I believe it may be just plain old jealously ?

[@jimf1964]

Thanks for the video. I always wanted to have that security, but have recently realized that finding a few different income streams can actually be more secure, and more interesting. This video has also reassured me that I can make a living in the woods.

Thank you, so much, for this video. I found it very inspirational.

[@beaverrick9789]

Hey Boss, That was a lot of great advice for young people and old. But I don't think you need to explain anything to anyone. People need to realize that they are responsible for the choices that they make. And for every choice you make there is a recource because of it. The world of instant gratitude is killing the american dream. The problem is we don't teach that any more. I'm getting ready to go back out to camp to hunt the last day of Pa deer. Supposed to be fresh snow on the ground, wish me luck. God Bless

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Good luck hunting buddy.

[@beaverrick9789]

I just want to tell you that I appreciate what you do. Thank you for sharing your experience with those of us starving for it and learning along the way towards our own off grid life. Your a good man and alot of us have learned from you and your videos. Also my interest in border Collies comes from you and Frankie. If you ever make it to the Upper Peninsula I'd love to shake your hand and buy ya a beer. Keep enjoying your life and ignore the haters. Your doing a good service and it's appreciated.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Glad you enjoy my vids and than you for saying so. Cheers :-)

[@MrRain-hk4zi]

Hi Boss, agreed. The limit to ones success is their ambition. Live smart and pay once. First time viewer and of course I subbed. You didn't have to share your story but you did. Quite a few folks out there simply don't get it due to the "buy now, pay later" programming everyone receives this day and age. What some of us view as simple logic, others cannot grasp due to the instant gratification and competition constantly inundating our living rooms through the television and school system. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Welcome to my channel and thanks for subbing :-)

Yes sir, you ARE growing things that are shady. I think that they're called TREES! Ha ha ha!!! Thank you for a nice video. Found your channel looking for "homesteading" videos. Your explanations are very informative. Greatly appreciated.

My dad had 3 Jobs to pay for his 8 children ! We were happy, went to church and school. Holidays were special, we all grew up pretty smart. And not one of us went to the pokey ! Mom was awesome. The things she did are mind boggling today. She was a super woman ! She had 8 children, cooked, cleaned, nursed, loved and nurtured us while Dad worked his butt off ! I look at their pictures today and pray they are in heaven with not a care or worry ! Smiling down on us from above ! Amen !

I would love to have your life J.C but i unfortunately i work the 40 hr work week, If i didn't i wouldn't have had medical ins that hopefully has saved my wifes life. She has been fighting cancer since last Feb and without the ins it would have broke us.And we are not out of the woods yet.Going to be continuing into next year.

+notenoughpreppig Best wishes to you and your wife in your fight! Hate to hear anyone having to go through that.

Sorry to hear of your wife's cancer battle. I lost my older brother to cancer last year 1 day before his 60th birthday. The reason that I am writing is to let you know that he used CBD oil with great success, and even managed to keep working through 3 rounds of chemo and radiation. Had he been taking real deal marijuana oil with THC, he may have had significantly better results. Unknown to us, he stopped taking it because of the expense and his health did an immediate nosedive, and he wasted away and died a few months later. I don't want to get into the legal and ethical issues involved with medicinal hemp and marijuana, but (at least for my brother) it gave him a significantly higher quality of life.

Thanks, there is no doubt marijuana helps cancer patients, they think they got it all but time will tell.
