Wipeout! Kind of, with Squirrels and their Swimming Pool

96 degrees out. I figured it was time for some fresh cool water and a little help getting in. I guess the spinning pvc pipe helps them a little.
I couldn't count how many attempts they made to try and get to the middle of the pipe : ) I really wish i was that persistent in getting things done LOL

It's amazing how quickly they bail from the pool after their splash landing!!🤣

[@judyscheiber3661]

They don't like water or punishment like this just to get their food. VERY nasty.

[@sistersofsupport3425]

JLS stfu

[@Chuncy566]

Great video really enjoyed,nicely done

[@KurtSlotkowski-hj8jd]

Just look at all of these chipmunks getting into all kinds of mischief.. I love it!!!

[@gerardsauvage7557]

Super 😂😜..le pauvre ! Il étudie...le moyen de ne pas se mouiller !!! Trop fort 👍👍👍😂🤓

[@Limastudent]

Looks like you are an engineer and carpenter. You certainly make the best of the free entertainment in your own back yard while showing how clever these creatures are. To have both squirrels and chipmunk in your yard is a bonus. Perhaps you are in Colorado.

[@OrangeSkyMusic]

They love the challenge. Very cute 👍

[@regthebackyardjackofalltrades]

Your squirrels don’t give up. This’ll never get old. I miss the squirrels and chipmunks. In California we have gophers and I wish that I had the time to “Caddy Shack” them, so I just live with them.

[@chrisk8322]

If they didn't splash so much you'd wonder if they even touched the water. LOL loved the slomo. Cirque du squirrels.

[@BackYardFiles]

LOL, I agree Chris K. Thank you!

[@koyo3406]

I LOL’ed so hard when that chipmunk went flying after the squirrel tackled him 😂😂

[@valerieromeos9592]

I love it too! Might I suggest larger and deeper! Big enough to house your entire apparatus! That is one determined boy squirrel! And he's mad enough to chase of poor lil chippies! The indignation! Chippie had it better with reg bird feeder, probably laughed at squirrel whilst munching🤣 great vid! Want more! Who don't love a squirrel getting what he had coming after free Buffett all summer! They do test the most patient souls!!

[@gabrielleharris3304]

Lol, I love it! I was ENTERTAINED! I know you get a lot of pleasure from watching the antics! GOD Bless!

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

love it! squirrels and chipmunks are so entertaining. after living with many pet squirrels and a chipmunk, including Frisky, my pet squirrel that lived 13 yrs, ive learned that they LOVE a challenge. the actually enjoy these obstacle courses and such that require them to think as well as flex their athletic abilities. they LOVE having fun and you certainly give them a good time. thanks for being kind to the little furr balls! so many are not. you enjoy their presence and antics while showing them a good time and feeding them. all the while providing entertainment for thousands! thank you!

[@BackYardFiles]

Thank you Randy. I grow closer and closer to them everyday. They will not give up easy. So they completely deserve rewarded as much as I can : )

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

Back Yard Files - well your kindness will be rewarded as well.

[@celestialstar5563]

It's like watching a Hanna-Barbera cartoon in real life 🤣

[@sharynleato5880]

Omg. It is!

[@marty01957]

"That's funny, right there,I dont care who ya are! ' Lol

[@cherylrausch7657]

My Vaseline on the very tall shepherds hook made me laugh also! Just love aggravating those squirrels!

[@strawberrymilk1683]

dude, I have binged on your vids and I seriously believe these squirrels LOVE your experiments by now. they know you always got something planned

[@2115virgo13]

Anti-Social They have to enjoy it. They come back.

[@Taiyama2]

There was one shot where the dude was just standing there next to the pool and the squirrel just kept trying to get the seeds, paying him no mind. I think they do at least consider him a non-threat, if not outright their benefactor.

[@ChuckKeough]

Lol, this never gets old. I wish for one moment we could understand what they are thinking.... I wonder if ideas run through their minds as fast as they move?

[@lunahowlett1778]

Pretty sure they were cussing a lot!🤣🤣

[@billp4]

"My turn next!!!"

[@Chuncy566]

I know what was running thru that ones mind that was in.the sand box as he smelled the back end of the other one, they I'll take a few minutes out for a little sex as he starts to climb aboard, but she says ,I should say not,you sex pervert!

[@MsTilda2]

Great takeing time to share, lovely video, thanks👌💟

[@cannolibear6831]

Your going to have several generations of squirrels addicted to your amusement park ..lol

[@BackYardFiles]

LOL... Probably right

[@lloydprunier4415]

We'll be seeing these critters on American Ninja Warrior after all this training!

[@angelamanning7122]

Lloyd Prunier yes it reminded me of that too lol

[@gerardburton1081]

😀😂😋😆😀😂😋😆🙂😃🤣

[@angelblohm2171]

Lloyd Prunier That’s what I was thinking the whole time!

[@pamelaoakes6121]

gerard burton .

[@Hartkid176]

Nut shot lol. Poor chipmunks. Slow motion looked like fish swimming over a waterfall

[@jamjam731]

Poor squirrels...they're all flipping out and going nuts! 😂🤣😂

[@reginahaley3723]

But, they ALWAYS seem to come back for more!

[@sabineleigh2336]

That top squirrel deserves a prize a cookie or something that dude worked his ass off.

[@BackYardFiles]

LOL, I agree!!!

[@anugrahrizky2957]

I love your backyard, there are many chipmunks and squirrels there

[@BackYardFiles]

: ) Thank you!!!

[@califreedume]

that was a great carnival game for squirrel's 🤣 they never saw it coming

[@adamemac]

They're some smart little buggers! They know you're supposed to wait an hour after you eat to go swimming. 😁😂

[@awdeveau]

You are going to have some very athletic squirrels at some point. 😂👍

[@BackYardFiles]

: )) True!!!

[@sarahstrong7174]

This is just stage one of their training. Stage two involves getting them to wear mini masks & carry mini rucksacks. Stage three involves training them to open safes. Then he just has to train them to recognise high denomination bank notes and stuff them in the rucksacks before escaping over the rooftops. Theres a film somewhere in this.

[@lindalee7322]

Chipmunk climbs pole like a Boss. :O)

[@echodelta9]

And goes around and clears out all the birds!

[@christinemason2938]

All that exercise must be making a big difference for them. They are heart healthy but also hungrier. Love the drama that the soundtrack and the slow mo add.

[@kempedkemp]

Great way to keep your squirrels and chipmunks clean! Kudos to you! I love your videos!

[@mickcarson8504]

That's the best one I've see. Tube should have been bigger and harder to grip.The tub should also be wider and higher to make them swim out. Bath day, every day! LOL.

[@rexluminus9867]

They are the luckyest creatures in your neighbourhood. Food, exercises, fun, skills... etc. The 🏊swimming pool is hilarious & slow motions. We love your videos. Thank you again. It's summertime ***

[@BackYardFiles]

Thank you Rex! : )

[@mamaboocee]

What you should do is make all the contraptions seem stable and safe to them - (ex.: make the pvc pipe NOT spin) for like a week, then turn it into a squirrel acrobat park - make that pvc pipe that seemed safe? - turn it back into its original spin disaster! Do it with ALL the booby traps you can think of - now all in play!! I can't tell you how satisfied I am to see those crafty little squirrels bounce back off the surface of the pool like its a trampoline! Its like their feet barely touch the water- but they are scrambling like crazy! Love it! Great video! Liked and subbed!

[@jchapman8248]

2:41-2:45 Mr. Squirrel's Chipmunk toss! "Off with ya then, laddie!" "Don't ya know it's squirrels only mate?!"

[@BackYardFiles]

: ))

[@videojockeysword]

They sure were having some fun! Probably understood there were cameras too. They're NOT stupid, so they were definitely doing this on PURPOSE...lmfao

[@hupook2]

You can go deeper with that pool. More fun surely... 😂

[@gerardburton1081]

😍🥰🤣😃🙂😆😋😂

[@CryptidWalks]

OMG, you have the smartest squirrels in the nation. These furry fellows have to figure out the craziest obstacles. And they trust you. What a perfect relationship you have created. My hats off to you.

[@williamschutz4982]

The cliffhanger music was a nice touch!!!

[@BackYardFiles]

: )) Thank you Williams!

[@lisamedlin96]

This is funny. Good job on the obstacle course. They r so greedy!

[@BackYardFiles]

: ) Thank you Lisa!

[@Keldor314]

Poor chipmunk! Squirrel punted it! I think the more food you put out, the more determined the squirrels are not to share any.

[@anamericantoreview1132]

Keldor314 squirrels are just very aggressive with other rodents they will even fight each other over territory and food plots even if there's more than enough food they will fight each other. nature is often much more violent to itself then we could be to it.

[@Keldor314]

To be fair, the chipmunks have pretty much the same attitude. The squirrels are just bigger.

[@kaleyyyyyyy9761]

I have a chipmunk in my backyard who tries to fight bunnies, squirrels, birds etc

[@freeman960]

Into the drink goes Rocket J squirrel.👍🐿🐀

[@Bigfishfun333]

When I feed MY squirrels I don't have NEARLY as much fun as you do!

[@jebidiahnewkedkracker1025]

Absolutely hilarious and fascinating! You can almost smell the "wood burning" as these varmints try to figure out the safest way to get at the food. Obviously these squirrels have more intelligence than the ones that lived in OUR yard, because after heavy rains on two separate occasions, two squirrels drowned in plastic garbage containers filled with rain water that were filled close enough to the top that they SHOULD have gotten out of them. I felt bad for them, but still have to marvel that they drowned considering that these^^^ squirrels got out of a much wider kiddie pool😐

[@trevorfuson715]

Great vid!! I could watch these lil fellas all day. They seem pretty used to you ..

[@BackYardFiles]

: )) Me too! Some of them are, but some tend t stay away when we walk outside. They have such different personalities

[@trevorfuson715]

Back Yard Files you ought to build a " Ninja " course like they have on the TV. These fellas are tenacious and will not stop till they figure it out and get their reward. I mean what else do they have to do. Eat ,shit,screw and sleep. Not in that order. Anyways , you could engineer some really wild scenarios and almost impossible obstacles so we can watch them flash it . I love the slo-mo by the way.. it would make a bad ass video... Just a thought...

[@Sourdoughgirl]

2018 Squirrel Summer Olympics. 😄

[@terryswails1191]

This is too funny, great entertainment, these guys will put Hollywood out of business

[@johncarlosmetidieri7191]

I love how they're not even scared of the guy who is setting up their WIPEOUT course. It is like they KNOW he does it on purpose and they participate freely. LOL

[@barriewinstanley3124]

Magnificent.... Cannot help but laugh at the antics.....

[@brianmoore1820]

You must be at that stage where you have said, "Who needs TV?"

[@cathleenwilliamson6668]

That's great! They look like they're having a blast.

[@ryszardbargiel7256]

Amazing that the squirrels are blind to what is possible. They could easily stand in the water with their heads above it. Their instincts against water are very strong. They could just grapple the pipe upside down to get to the food. Somehow, it was unable to realize it could just do the same towards the food instead of doing it to get back to the edge.

[@2012truth1776]

@ 2:39 The Squirrel is like - You son of a B/TCH !! 👍🏻😂🤣🤣

[@billwatson9886]

These squirrels be HANNNNNNNGRY. I do love the ones that jump right out of the water and try again.

[@JennerViews]

LOL that was fun, & the music is perfect, LOL, fun fun fun...thanks! & Merry Christmas...

[@chapiit08]

So much energy stored in those little muscles.

[@caroldriehorst1165]

That was great!!! Man alive, they don't give up too easily do they. Loved this video!!👍👍

[@BackYardFiles]

They are stubborn : )) Thank you!!!

[@5winder]

That chipmunk was cool.

[@kandiwolfe1125]

Hahaaahaaa!! My grandson refused to go nighty-night until we watched some '"munks"' and " "twirrels" .....!!!! Thanks Eric!! Goodnight !!💜💙💜

[@BackYardFiles]

Aw!!! Thank you for sharing that : ) Thank you Kandi!!!

[@rudychavez8805]

Parallel bar and pool high diving squirrel Olympians lol they even wrestle... with chipmunks 😂

[@texasred2702]

This is how the sailors on the Indianapolis must have felt when the sharks showed up...God, what relentless critters.

[@irisgonzalez2206]

Mission impossible....😂😂😂 He didnt like the water...i enjoyed watching everytime he splashed in pool AND other squirrels stealing birdseed...wow Exciting backyard chronicles😆😆😆

[@BackYardFiles]

Backyard Chronicles, that would have been a great name too for this channel

[@johncarreon8040]

Love your Videos make me Lol..😆

[@estebanmiguel6019]

Great entertainment. The Romans had the Coliseum, we have squirrels falling in slow motion. Progress.

[@lyleschull6516]

Good idea back yard entertainment 👌

[@noworriesmate8287]

No squirrels were harmed in this video. They were only bathed 👍👍👍

[@Wayniesgirl]

fitbirdviewings Really stupid. If they were getting hurt they wouldn't keep doing it 😒

[@mickcarson8504]

Yep, they stink.

[@judyscheiber3661]

You must be kidding. Try this on your hungry family just so that you can tape it and get attention on social media. My GOD. This is cruel.

[@kaleyyyyyyy9761]

JLS no it’s not? These are wild animals they have did more risky thing then this also this isn’t risky at all for them they know what to do when they fall there trained from when they are kids and the guy who made did the measuring to make sure thy wouldn’t get hurt know ur facts before commenting

[@kelleykelkel3370]

Loved this one!!! ❤❤❤

[@BackYardFiles]

: ) Thank you Kelley!!!

[@fredboat]

Enjoyed the video. Here in Texas we have yard critters by the ton also. Liked the MGM ending.

[@MrWils25]

Back yard files is a genius, way ahead of his/her time.

[@pacificrules]

🤣🤣... Love this video. More different challenges for them.

[@smarterworkout]

Love the dramatic music.

[@BackYardFiles]

: )) Thank you

[@fernandosalas8589]

Iam here again like a squirrel just for the laughs not food😉. The Olympic theme and mission impossible theme would've been nice. Gotta do this again Eric love their facial expressions when they're close the goodies, I can almost imagine what their thinking. I got this piece of cake then suddenly ahhh! what's going on?! I'm not going down ahhh blop or splash 🌊.

[@geoh7777]

Man creates challenge course for squirrels in his backyard. Squirrels enthusiastically rise to the challenge. They didn't stay long in the water, though.

[@BackYardFiles]

: ))

[@beanniegirl7686]

OMG Eric, I laughed through this entire video!😂 Best slow motion ever in my opinion.... 👍 Thank you!

[@RLC302]

Someone has TOO MUCH time on their hands...

[@gailfraser6217]

Beannie Girl ZzZ PEICE OF SHIT 😂😂😂😂

[@KuvaPefo]

Hah me too!

[@alanballard7466]

I didn't laugh this hard in a long time, LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@BackYardFiles]

That's awesome! 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@chrissz1762]

I love your video I was laughing too🐾

[@2115virgo13]

They have to get more than just food doing this. It’s like they love the struggle . Watching them figure out best way is hysterical!

[@BackYardFiles]

: ))

[@Neznisgip]

Squirrels gone wild! 😄

[@AdrepKeith]

Funny! This reminds me of an incident while eating breakfast earlier this spring. As I was eating breakfast I noticed an Eastern Chipmunk casually picking sunflower seeds beneath the birdfeeder. Along comes a Fox Squirrel and chases him under the porch. Couple of minutes later the chipmunk returns scavenging seeds once again. Again the Fox Squirrel chases him away. Once again the chipmunk comes back out and casually starts picking again. Suddenly the little chipmunk jumps right on the squirrels back, which launched the fox squirrel 4 feet in the air. Then the chipmunk scurries back under the porch and left me laughing my ass off and thinking about Karma!

[@BackYardFiles]

Oh man!!!! Thank you for sharing that! I'm cracking up just trying to picture it. : ))

[@AdrepKeith]

Thanks I really enjoy your posts. Bottom line those Fox Squirrels are tough athletic creatures. The Red Squirrels are little jerks. They do a lot of damage to wildlife. Rats and Red Squirrels are the only rodents that are carnivores. They kill and eat a lot of birds and other babies. And they can do a lot of damage to your home as well. I relocated a half a dozen of them about 5 miles away. ahhh me thinks some have made their way back...ugh!

[@Oshuin9]

😂😂😂that music. They be going through a lot for food. Lol

[@BackYardFiles]

: )) Yes

[@brianorourke4880]

Full twist with a gainer ! 10

[@sunkissG]

ROTFLMAO!!! I’m still laughing. They are extremely stubborn lolol

[@kandiwolfe1125]

Haaahaaahaaa!! These guys are crazy!! Great video Eric...thanks!!;)

[@PFred-ew4zd]

Thats a riot! Least your giving those rodents a bath in the process! Looks like you also have a nice feeding setup for them as well! They will never leave now!!!!!

[@hannahjoquain74]

that was wonderful, thank you so much for sharing

[@nancyourricariet3418]

What a great vid and soundtrack! Hopefully it was a hot day and the squirrels cooled down some!

[@grapefruitturtle]

i don't know who is more entertained by this. me or my cat

[@nicknewby4685]

Good idea. I've been looking for a way to give our dirty squirrels a bath LMAO!

[@mikeschoeffter7420]

Messin with squirrels, funny stuff ! love it

[@ffbauer]

We all needed a bath for summer anyway!!!

[@mrmustangman]

LMAO.!!!!!!!!

[@sabineleigh2336]

It makes me think of those game shows where people compete so funny.

[@BackYardFiles]

: ))

[@xr77exo]

This was very good! Loved it ! Especially with the music. It’s like a video game👍🏻

[@richgg2]

Eric, the slow mo footage is freaking amazing!!! WOW!!! Good job!!!

[@the3bairs611]

They love it .they keep coming back for more.

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

The slow-mo's at the end were almost the best part!!!! They were definitely the funniest😂👍

[@riaanvanrooyen6916]

LoL!!! Like them when they are upside down knowing they better do their best to not get wet. Vaseline will help also.

[@bowhunter8235]

AMAZING views and editing. Good job. Good music too. U got talent imo lol

[@junejewel]

One of the funniest videos I’ve seen in ages!!

[@sylviaelse5086]

Odd thing is, they seemed to have no great difficulty running along upside down underneath the pipe, but didn't use that method to reach the food.

[@maryannehammerle9318]

Love watching it. More. More. More

[@firstmateblackpowder6266]

Loved it , the pool is good for them not just cooling them off but helps them AGAINST bugs ! Please keep the pool going , the squirrel is smart a real Problem solving critter who loves puzzles 👍

[@lightloveandawake3114]

Cute! I wonder how much better they will be next year 😊🐿😊
