A New Year Of Cabin Life and We're Off To A Great Start. A Backwoods Living Vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- The new year is off to a great start. We began the year by spending time at our off grid cabin up north and now we're settling back in at our off grid mountain homestead with a little hybrid living in between.
We're rockin the retirement and life is good.

Be careful Boss, if you die first, Lori may put your ashes in one of those coffee containers on the shelf, give you a number and log you in.... Lol
LOL.
Haha 😅😅
😂
Could be worse. Every time my husband says he can't help me because he's playing with the dogs, I tell him that when he goes I'm going to put his ashes into a round urn and let the dogs roll him around the house! We both laugh but I bet the dogs would like it, lol
Ah hahaha !
The weight of the world and all of its problems disappeared while watching this episode. THANKS FOLKS!
Happy to hear that :-)
Always a pleasure. I'm still smiling writing this.
God bless.
Tennessee, Out.
Thank you and God Bless.
One of your best vids! I never stopped smiling and chuckling the whole way thru!😂
Glad you enjoyed it :-))
God bless you both Boss. You make me feel there’s still decent hard working God workshiping people in this crazy world.
I must say even though I never had the opportunity to meet an in person. I sure do miss Frankie.
We surely do too.
Boss you put a smile on my face with your humor and Frankie was a treasure.
Chock full of nuts, it's kinda like FTD (from the dump), I'm still laughing about that. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
I just laughed out loud on that one. Thanks for bringing that up :-)))
@@thebossoftheswamp you are welcome!
As impressed as I am with your hardware organization, it just wouldn't work for me, Boss. I am the poster child for DIS-organization. My shop is a slightly controlled and slightly less organized chaos. But I am getting better and your shop is part of that incentive. You keep posting, I'll keep sorting, and maybe we'll meet someday at the end of the trail. Don't forget the wine.
This just left me with the warmest happy heart! What a beautiful journey!
Thank you for saying so.
What a delightful surprise! Husband and I laughed so hard and smiled non-stop! "For his viewing pleasure" - LOL! Seeing that pic of you as a kid was great! And the coffee mug may be red and black, but that was pure gold! Thanks, Boss!
Thank you Lou Ellen. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
That coffee mug was the unexpected twist I love about the videos! Always some of the Boss's offbeat humor! 💖💖💖
Good evening from Copperhill Tn. Where is the beer opener? We'll leave the light on!!
Been cold down there lately eh?
Hope all is well in your little slice of heaven with all this cold weather.
Your right smiles are good too have and a sense of humor
KC & Lori, your videos are the absolute best & I look forward to each and every one! Lori, glad you’re stepping out into the spotlight more!!
Thank you. I appreciate your comment.
True that😇😇😇🕊
Love this Boss. You and Lori make me smile and I love it that you're thinking about publishing your journals. I'd buy them in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much!
Oh no! Go back for that wine!!!! 😂
Can't beat the red and black flannel!
Agreed :-)
Your organization skills are awesome 🙂 Those drawers came out so nice! Hahaha, your blue shirt looks good, but nothing’s as nice as the red checkered one 😊 You’re living your dreams, and not many people can say they’ve done that. Good to see you both ♥️♥️
Thanks so much! 😊
Love it - love the ode to the red plaid with the coffee cup
Thank you for the smiles and laughs!!! The weather called. You can come and take all this snow, ice and below zero temps and windchills that y'all threw us in the South. NO fair!!! LOL Stay safe and warm!!! God bless you all three!
We follow the weather in a dozen places and it certainly has been cold in the south. Single digits in Tenn :-o
@@thebossoftheswamp we FINALLY came out of the single digits that descended on us in the Rockies...who knew you could be grateful for just plain 30's...
Please, please never change ur opening logo or ur ending song & footage. I love it! "Franky and the boss" forever!
The closing song will always remain but the intro will most likely change in the future. Thanks for commenting :-))
Hiya Boss, Lori and Tildy 🖐🏻 I Love Y'all and your sense of humor 😂. Thanks for the smiles😊. Much appreciated. Stay safe and warm. God Bless Y'all. Love and Prayers For All ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🍻
Thanks so much and many blessings to you.
Driving down the road a few days back and some beautiful native American flute music came on the radio. Made me think of you. A little flute in your next video would be wonderful boss
It may not be since I haven't played one in years haha
Good seeing ya boss man! From ohio
Boss, you sure have an eye for detail with everything you do. Very impressive, enjoy that wine!
Thank you for saying so -)
Creating new neural pathways are way cool bro, anyone can change their stars...peace!
Thank you so much! You made me laugh! I am having a hard time in my life right now and starting my day with a few laughs is the best start ever! Thank you again.
Happy to help :-)
Same, here. Sigh...
I dont get these social media judge and jury people.
Why would anyone comment, asking you to wear a blue shirt. Honestly.
I watch for the sheer entertainment; the honest and humble opinion of an experienced woodsman, trapper, hunter and all around Jack of all trades.
Stupid comments come in daily. They have even told Lori she should cut her hair because she's a woman of certain age. No joke :-/
I love your video's, this reminds me off your old style video's. It so nice seeing Laurie, I know she has a great sense of humor putting up with all your shenanigans, witch I must say, I have always loved. So nice to see you both. All the very best in 2024, God Bless!
Thank you and God Bless.
Amen 😇 Amen to that 🙏🙏🙏🕊
Love Them New Cubbies You Made Boss ! Great Listening To You Reflect In Your Many Journals Also ! Hugs For Tildy ! ATB T God Bless
Thank you Terry. We like them too -)
As always … love what you’re doing but I really appreciate the appreciation for the refreshments 😎🍺🍺 take care guys
lol! Can’t forget the wine!
Stayed tuned in for next week when the boss returns from Napa valley.
What a craftsman you are. I do enjoy watching your channel. My husband and I built our house and I enjoy watching your projects. Thank your for sharing your projects and your humor.
Glad you enjoy my ramblings and thank you for saying so.
Hi Boss. Just the smile I needed!
My wife and I are frozen in on the Coventry Canal here in Tamworth England. However, I was able to get some nice logs and a delivery of coal before the freeze set in, so we are toasty warm.
Still trying to get a job and my 59th birthday hits tomorrow!! I don't remember getting old (but, apparently I did according to the doctor who had x-rays done on my knees!) however, when I take in all the blessings I have, my darling Kate chief among them, and I look at where I was when I first found your channel all those years ago I have no cause for complaint!
I always tell you to keep on keeping on and so I will take my own advice and do the same! Regards to you both Laurie St.Lyon
When frozen in a canal, walk on the ice and get firewood. Now that's what I'm talking about brother. Look for the positives whenever you can. Well done :-))
Thanks for another great video! Perhaps one reason why I enjoy watching you is because I have a sense of humor. I feel like if you can’t or don’t have a little fun in life or laugh at quirky stuff, you are missing out on true joy that is freely available in a lot of situations. Sometimes you just have to look for it a little bit. Take care!
Laugh with the good times - roll with the bad ones.
I appreciate you two soooo much! You always make me smile. "We forgot the wine....well, you didn't remind me!" Haha.
I love how everything is sorted, documented, and organized. I am always looking for some thing not to be found when it is needed. Then the frustration sets in and you tear up the garage looking for what you need. Just did it looking for salt after shoveling snow. Funny video. 😁 I enjoyed it. Stay warm and safe. God bless.
That's what brought me to creating this organization tactic. Got sick of buying what I already owned and couldn't find.
My dad had a great sense of humor....I hope I do too....thanks for a fun video....
You two make the best couple!!
I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. AND YES THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE, AND I LOVE THAT BUBBLE WRAP DIG YOU GET IN THERE EACH TIME. KEEP SMILING AND I WILL TO.
Gotta love the bubble foil :-)
Always bringing joy, laughter and information. Just love your vids.
Thanks so much!
This video was not only thoughtful but a hoot! Chock Full of Nuts! LOL! And sporting your true colors! Another LOL! Hope this is a great year for you and Lori!!
Glad you enjoyed -))
Stick with the red and black your videos are always so awesome❤
Only intelligent charismatic people have a sense of humor.. 😂😂 Greatly enjoy your video's.. 👍
Glad you like them!
The boss is the real deal.
There is nothing wrong with the red plaid! It’s the color that I also perfer
Hi Boss, have a good relaxing time, enjoy some delicious venison and good wine together with Mrs. Lori and all three please stay healthy. Big hugs to sweet Tildy and God Bless☘️💫🍀
Thank you and blessings to you as well.
Im always a few weeks behind but always enjoy watching! We drink enough coffee that my Husband could learn a thing or two with your organization skills...LOL What a journey that you have been on....May your journey continue and God Bless you all!
Thank you and many blessings to you.
RIGHT a good sense of humor! YES LOL you guys crack me up!
Happy to hear that :-))
Yellow there “Boss”;
Boy did you bring back some memories for me. My dad was a hurter and every fall he would pull out his hunting gear from the closet. Gusset what was his favorite hat and coat. You guess it. It was the red and black checkered ones. He wore them until they were thread worn
Memory Lane is a good place to visit when you have good memories :-)))
I laughed my ass off! Thanks for the much needed Bday laughs. I'm still smiling 😂
Thank you for saying so.
I am Blessed to be a Patreon Member from the beginning 🙏 ❤
Look'en Good Boss
Thank you and much appreciated :-)
Thanks 👍
As I watch your video and you speaking of your red and black shirt, I am wearing my favorite winter L.L. Bean red and black flannel shirt.
You looked at least 10 years younger in the blue.
That's funny ;-)
great humor…chock full of nuts, indeed. tilde didn’t look too happy about having a door put on “her” dog house.
seeing the younger you puts me in mind of dave whipple’s (bush radical) 20 year old son mick (betting on alaska) who is just starting out his journey building his first cabin and homestead. i imagine it’s pretty much the way you started out.
Hilarious! What a card! You know - my husband and I really liked how you made those drawers to fit in that space (the eave?). I mean, no space go wasted. What a great idea. We both grew up knowing friends who had bedrooms upstairs where that space was not used. If only their parents had a little wood-working skills, they might've come up with that idea. (Liked how Tildy was in the cubby hole. LOL). You certainly have led a full life. You guys having that butt-kicking cold like we had in Michigan? Geez. Can't remember getting this cold. Next week we'll be back in the high 30's and maybe even 40's. That's nuts too. Great video.
Yes it's pretty darn cold right now and is in the south too.
Ya can't forget the wine Boss!!! Too funny.
You absolutely crack me up. Love your channel. Keep it up Boss.
I appreciate that. Thank you for saying so.
Yes, turn around and get the wine
Always :-)
Been a might since I seen your videos. UA-cam hides them I think. You always leave me with a smile on my face. I need that now a days. Stay healthy and laugh a lot. Can't get any better!
Thank you and welcome back.
Your experience is unique.....congrats for your achievements!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you kindly -)
Haha. Put a smile on my face!
Great way to organize. I used to ware red and black plaid when I was younger. My wife told me i needed a change in clothing so Into the grey and black plaid now. Lol
Very fun! Laughter is so good for the soul 😅 blue works on you so an occasional blue day might be in order 😆
40 years of journaling?!?! Zowee. Well done and I bet they’re helpful.
Thanks for the chuckles 🤭
Glad to here from guys again!
Had to stop at the 1:30 mark of the vlog to comment...that choc'ful of nuts line was hilarious 😅...now back to the vlog!
Love that Polaris! You both always look good...no matter what u wear!! Keep smiling! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you!!

Great idea to review the journal and make adjustments,,and see how many nuts you met that year 🙂
Nice blue Tshirt and flannel! Yes, it looks good on you!
Thank you.
Great video, you meticulously filled every second with little tid-bits. Loved the part about your youth and doing it before it was fashionable. And, yes, the blue short works, especially in front of the blue coffee jugs.
I try to dress accordingly with my surrounding haha :-D

Good Afternoon Jim, we wanted to share something very special with you. We had an artist make a custom frame for one of the prints we purchased from you. I’m going to send you a picture through Facebook Messenger.
I've had one heck of a time trying to find just the right frame for Jim's litho print I've had for over a year, now.
It's the "Watching Her Weight" one...and I'd love to finally get it if framed!
Anxious to see it but send it to backwoodslogic@yahoo.com because I don't use my facebook page anymore.
I sent it to your email now.
Love it. Have fun. I know you always do.
Wow !!! That was the best. Hats off to the plaid thanks for the laugh Boss😀
Thank you.
Oh my gosh didn’t get. Notification !!! Just happened to see it !! Made my evening just hearing your Voice an about Journals an reading back one’s an Yes l do an absolutely Learn from them!! Sooooo true!! Freezing COLD 🥶 here!! Like your Blue shirts but prefer Red an black lol 😂 Can’t forget the WINE👏👏👏God Bless an Health 😇😇😇🕊
We follow the weather in a dozen places and it seems to be cold everywhere. Stay warm :-)
Absolutely love watching your videos. Thank you so very much for taking us along on your sweet journey. God Bless you in all you do, Sir🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for saying so.
I might be a patreon but I sure am glad when I see you’ve posted something. Have a great time up there
i laughed so hard when you brought out that coffee mug.....tears😂
I almost spit that coffee filming that :-))))
I use mayonaise and peanut butter jars. They are clear, no need to number.
Stay warm in that off grid cabin
Keeping the off grid fire going now haha
got to love that bubble foil it's good for everything.
Blue looks great
I'm always excited to see a new video that you've posted. Great stuff !
Thank you.
Good to see you Boss.
So glad that you had a great time at the cabin, it's what you look for. Loved the video, your nut can, and you sporting that long ol hair back in the day. My fav is red & black checkers also. Take Care Brother
Thank you for posting another update boss!
You're welcome :-)
You look good and healthy. Good! I'm glad
Thank you.
Boss you look good in blue. Whoever said that to you really did take your coloring into the statement. Green and brown would wash you out but with your eyes and now gray colored hair the blue looks great. Give it more of a chance and wear it more often.
I'll see what I can do haha :-D
Forgot the wine? That's like saying: "We forgot Tildy." LOL
Absolutely :-o
O no...forgot the wine 😮😅...you forgot to remind her...i like the red & black plaid
Lol,yr "stylin" in what ever colour u wear jim.Love yr organization skills.Stay warm and Godbless. 😊❤
Thank you and God Bless.
Boss I laughed my "nuts" off at thi one my friend. Love your videos and yes sir I hope I'm still around when your journals become a book! All the best and stay safe. Keep them coming...
Glad you enjoyed it. I had fun making this one.
