My Dad was a lifetime carpenter born in Wyoming and moved to NH with my mom in 86 when she was pregnant with my sister. When you said you were using your Dad's tools and using your own ingenuity to figure it out just like your Dad I felt that. I feel that every time I'm working on a project and using his old tools, and I hear him trying to guide me. We are always surrounded by our loved ones that have passed, and sometimes more than we like. lol. Love to you, Boss.
Love to see something useful emerge from a "bag of tricks". Every workshop needs such a bag. And a bunch of different sized defunct inner tubes - from racing bicycle to tractor. Makes gaskets, rubber bands, flexible pipe connectors or emergency pipe repair, flaps, seals, dampers, mini pond liners (tractor tubes), repair patches... Turning junk into treasure is half the joy of making.
@@thebossoftheswamp I was going to comment on your ledger system, but somehow it got lost in the editing. Really love the idea and took note during the video you made about it and will apply it to my gazillion bags of tricks when I reorganise things in the near future.
I'll be right over for some muffins, and I'll bring the butter and some raw honey to add to them. Thanks for a great time with your latest video, JC. Best regards to you and Lori.
Love that bush camp oven. Love in ingenuity of repurposing things that you find! My dad taught me the same and to also fix things that break before buying new ones. We now live in a throw away society. Very wasteful. God bless to you and family!🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍
Many years ago, my father did a town dump run, he got so excited about all the interesting stuff people were throwing out that when he left for home, he left our family dog @ the dump 😂😂😂😂. Thank god guys @ dump knew who dog was owned by. Great video again, may God continue to bless all of you with health & happiness 🙏🙏
I'm always giving old junk new life. I've never made a reflector oven, buy its now on my mental list, and I'm pretty sure I have everything to make one. Thanks for taking us along and inspiring me to make something I had no idea I needed.
I love when a plan comes together. Next make a rocket stove using a #10 vegetable can and 3 standard soup cans for when the weather isn't suitable for outdoor fire pit cooking. I believe some of your viewers who aren't verst in this technique will get a kick out of it. Best wishes & God bless you Boss & Boss Momma...
No kidding, I had to watch your video again, this time with my husband... I actually felt bad that I've watched you without him. You are a fantastic family event😀! The handle that you find at minute 6:10 is from an air fryer rotating basket. With it, I can lift out of the air fryer basket without getting burned. Also, it was super funny to see you going through your book to find the PJ 38 things... Worked like a charm. I got lucky to have a handy father who was making me fix things ( a few decades ago) just so I know how to do it (in case I'd have an unskilled husband🤯). Also, my grandmother from my mother side was very gifted, creative, a great human being who learned all from the struggles of her life, and she passed on to me all her wisdom. Now I'm fortunate to be handy myself and also to have a handy husband. Thanks for passing on us your wisdom, and maybe, one day, I'll do the same for someone else 😊 🙂 ☺️ ❤️ 😀 😄 😊 🙂 ☺️ ❤️. If everyone does this, the planet will be a perfect place. Stay strong, healthy, and happy!
J.C long time no speak. It is great to see you to continue pursuing your dreams. Plan it, do it!! I am in the thick of currently building 5 homes in N.C. 1 for my family. At almost 62 it doesn't get easier, but God blessed me with the capability to do it and enjoy it. Can't wait to finally get out to my N.C getaway on the river next weekend. The mice will get evicted, but hey that had a good winter's lodge. Dream it , live it, and no regrets. All the best and God Bless
You've got gumption my friend. Lori and I had been discussing putting off building our new cabin but now its back on the table and we may get to it this year. Enjoy your getaway :-))
Hi JC- That reflector oven is a winner! Dick Proenneke would be proud! I can see that you are carving out a serene ⛺🔥 base camp for yourself. Its a grand idea!
Warmest greetings from the Catskill mountains. I just love all your blogs and look forward to them all. I am your age and when I was younger I loved being in the outdoor camp in the cold and snow...even sleeping in the lean-to. Now when it is very cold I stay in where it is toasty warm! Your a brave soul! As a mom of slot of boys and young men I love how some of them get very inspired by your creativity. I look forward to more adventures from you and yours.
Mornin Boss, Lori, Tildy and Lady Layers 👋🏻. Love the way you think Boss. Making due with what we have around us. When you said reflective oven, I thought about Cory ( The Maine Woods) using his oven to make all kinds of food(pineapple upside down cake😁). Those corn muffins looked perfect👍🏻👍🏻. Thanks for sharing another great video and your sense of humor, Martha Stewart 🤣🤣. Appreciate y'all. Stay safe. God Bless y'all and the homestead ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your Dad sounds alot like mine, JC. He was THAT person who COULD make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. That talent was not passed down by genetics, but I am getting better. I let my 2 older brothers keep all of Dad's tools, so I don't have any. However, I have bought many tools at yard sales and thrift stores. I still think of him when I use them. I smile at all of your videos but the ones with the bushcamp just warm the heart a little more. Blessings to all, Boss. (snowing in N. NV now too)
I love creative ways to cook! My kitchen has a propane stove and my canning kitchen has a 3-burner camp style propane stove, which is large enough for my canners. I cook on my wood stove, which sits in the living room, during the winter. I have a cast iron rack plus cast iron pans to cook over an open fire on the edge of our outdoor firepit. I love having a plan A, B, C and D just in case. My wood stove experience came from my dad since I grew up with a wood stove as our only source of heat and for heating water. My gardening experience, along with canning and root cellaring, came from my great grandmother. She lived with us until she passed when I was 12 years old. One of my grandmothers showed me how to sew everything, including all of my own clothes and how to reupholster my furniture. My other grandmother showed me how to crochet. I learned wood working from my dad and my uncle. I have built my cabinets and most of my furniture. Faith in God and having the skills to do so many things is a great legacy to leave to the next generation. Now, I am teaching my children and grandchildren these skills. If we don't teach these skills, they will be gone when we are. I can tell you that I will never looking for a cry room when the crap hits the fan! Your dad sounds like a wonderful man! Thank you for passing those skills on to us!
butter and honey would have really topped it off .... love your little builds as much as your big ones ... congrats and thanks for the video .. God Bless
Hey Boss! Great to hear from you today!! I hope everything ,and everyone, including you, are happy, healthy AND enjoying life! Love your nifty-new camp stove! It is quite ingenious , I must say! Take care and keep on smilng! Peace to All...💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
Hi Boss, Just like you I save those racks every time I find them. When my gas oven died I dismantled it. I kept the steel outer shell as it was good stainless steel. I used some fashion a door on the grill housing and that is now a barbecue oven with a pizza stone. I trimmed one of the racks to fit inside my multi fuel stove. My good lady usees it to bake potatoes. Last night I came home and she had foil wrapped a gammon joint and cooked it in the fire!! Amazing lady. We are in the middle of refurbishing our canal boat home so sort of camping in it! 🙄 Connecting up the gas line and getting a new stove with oven is in our VERY near future. For now we have a two burner & grill. A major set back was BOTH alternators giving up. Now ot looks like the water pump has gone. The navigation authority are not best pleased as we have been here 7/8 weeks. We were iced in for two. But the rules say 14 days and we had extensions on our extensions! 🤪 However, we keep on keeping on. 5 more months down here and we head further north to Birmingham. Life is good! Stay well my friend.
Sorry to hear about the setbacks We're suffering our own at the moment. Lori fell off a stepladder and then tumbled down the entire flight of stairs and sustained a shattered wrist and many other injuries in the process. We are back at the cabin now but she'll be going back to the hospital. Living up here with ATV access makes it tough when stuff like this happens.
Well that was fun...and your Dad's spirit is with you!! Corn muffins looked great...butter, yep sure need some butter!!! My Dad loved doing stuff like that; I still have a few of his innovative masterpieces, but my boys just think it's junk so when I'm gone, I guess it won't really matter any more. Until next time, here's all the best to YOU.
Oh my gosh your finds are so similar to what I find treasure in. Except I have no time to tinker fun things together, but I can fix just about anything. Those muffins looked yummy. Job well done! I love your outlook on life. I literally have repeated your words to myself when I need peace and motivation. Your the Boss!
Keeping smiling and enjoying the life you've been given. A treat to see you creating something useful from these items. Best to you and Lori and Tildy. Blessings from Georgia
Was Great to see you having so much fun! Almost like the a little boy with his Father right there... I know now the next time I see one of these old gas cans at an auction I'm grabbing it. 😃
Never to old to learn something new. Muffins looked good, butter would've been nice, but probably would've been frozen, now jam on the other hand 🤪. Hugs to Tildy. Hi to Lori. Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
I still can’t bare to see Frankie, he was such a special dog, they are few and far between, even though you can love another one, I think that one rare dog only comes once in a lifetime, I have one of those dogs now but she is getting old, I don’t think I will ever have another one it’s to painful! loved your gas can!😊
Great job! I made something similar using an old stainless steel laundry tub on its side that I put in front of our wood burner. It has a pizza oven thermometer inserted in the plug hole. Works a treat but I found that as it’s so open, I had to put a piece of tinfoil across the top edge to make the opening a bit smaller and trap the heat a bit longer. So far, I’ve only done a slow cooked casserole but I was very happy with the result. 😊
Great idea! I like to tinker myself! Maybe add a door, put a regulator vent hole and a thermometer so you could set the temperature!? I would have wanted butter too! 😁👍
Love it Jim 😀. U r styling.Yr dad is w u always giving u thoughts along the way.U keep everything for a reason.Every piece has a purpose. I keep everything that I think I can use later on in my life and I always find it useful.So proud of yr findings Until next week.
Great to see you enjoying your day! We are working towards our cabin life and you and Lori are an inspiration! It’s great that you leave nothing to waste. God bless !
That was pretty cool! I made a rocket stove out of my shallow well pump pressure tank, I ran 3 bolts where the old bladder cover was to keep the pan above the hole. Works great just on kindling.
Good to see you again! I’d say you are a chip off the old block? You’ve inherited your dad’s ingenuity 🙂 You’re always so organized too! This is awesome, and I love it! You did a great job on that. Baking in the snow……..lol Martha Stewart can’t top that 😅 That muffin looks really good! Have a blessed weekend you two! 🙂
JW Your my hero ! I'm 76 and do things like this ! I just building a 4 X 6 foot shooting blind on 10 foot high 4x4 post ! I've followed your channel for many years ! Keep surprising me!
I've never tried cooking like that on a campfire. I like your ingenuity and it is the perfect oven. I can see lots of things being cooked in that. Thanks for the idea. Looks like a project for me to try. Ray
What a great project Bossman. You are teaching us more ways to improvise...and that's a good thing. I have bins of 'something' that I might use for 'something' too. You just never know how you might be able to repurpose stuff to make 'something' new. I always look for those grill grates at thrift stores/yard sales. They make nice critter barriers for the top of my garden pots, and as grill grates for cooking over a fire. Thanks for a nice visit. Many blessings to you and Lori and Tildy. :>)
I have quite a collection of grates and grills and this week I made a big score at the dump on cookware. No cast iron but stainless steel of all sizes. Yessah :-))
I broke anti swing bracket on my lawn tractormower deck. Finally after 30 years in junk an old fridge holder bracket came in useful. I see a lot of broadheads in that pile of metal Boss. Jay Massey liked lawn mower blades for his. First thing I thought needs butter. Mom used to say: Great men think alike but fools seldom differ. 😂

Yes indeed my friend. I couldn't agree more about that.
I am so happy to see you today. Proenneke's journey is a marvelous story, amazing skills.
Another great video. Keep them coming👍👍.
Thanks 👍
Absolutely awesome it didn’t cost a dime just a little time. Have a blessed day.

I love your new oven and it is working so well. It puts a smile on my face to see you having a blast at your bush camp.
Doing stuff like this is good for the soul :-))
I'll be right over for some muffins, and I'll bring the butter and some raw honey to add to them. Thanks for a great time with your latest video, JC. Best regards to you and Lori.
I'll get a larger muffin tin :-))
This reminded me of Camping out when you don't have all the perfect things from home...great job.
Thumbs up!!!!👍👍👍
Martha Stewart has nothing on you, Boss. Loved the project. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Proenneke was definitely crafty.I love the way he made the door hinges for the cabin!
He was one of a kind for sure.
@@thebossoftheswamp He sure was.You're the same way as well.
Your the best. Always a pleasure watching your videos. We need more people like you in this world. Next time, don’t forget the butter. 👍
Thank you my friend. I always enjoy your comments :-))
Now that worked out pretty well I'd say . I bet dad is proud .
I think your Dad is smiling upon you ,old friend. Great video. Big hugs my friend.
Your the best JC, so great to see you enjoying your bush camp.
Thank you. I love that little camp ;-)
JC, you are simply amazing. Keep up the good work
Thank you kindly :-)

That was fun Boss! I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
I had fun building it :-))
I really miss Frankie! Me & the wife love him so much! Love you to Boss of the Swamp! This was a great video, looking forward to the next one!
We miss him tremendously. His life was way too short.
You nailed it Boss! Those corn muffins looked great.

What a great legacy that man left behind :-))
Wow Boss what an ingenius idea for making a reflector oven for camping.❤️
Thank you :-)

Awesome little oven you built there, Boss. And yeah, it's cute! 😁

Hi Boss,
Just like you I save those racks every time I find them.
When my gas oven died I dismantled it. I kept the steel outer shell as it was good stainless steel. I used some fashion a door on the grill housing and that is now a barbecue oven with a pizza stone. I trimmed one of the racks to fit inside my multi fuel stove. My good lady usees it to bake potatoes. Last night I came home and she had foil wrapped a gammon joint and cooked it in the fire!! Amazing lady.
We are in the middle of refurbishing our canal boat home so sort of camping in it! 🙄 Connecting up the gas line and getting a new stove with oven is in our VERY near future. For now we have a two burner & grill.
A major set back was BOTH alternators giving up. Now ot looks like the water pump has gone. The navigation authority are not best pleased as we have been here 7/8 weeks. We were iced in for two. But the rules say 14 days and we had extensions on our extensions! 🤪
However, we keep on keeping on. 5 more months down here and we head further north to Birmingham.
Life is good! Stay well my friend.
Sorry to hear about the setbacks We're suffering our own at the moment. Lori fell off a stepladder and then tumbled down the entire flight of stairs and sustained a shattered wrist and many other injuries in the process. We are back at the cabin now but she'll be going back to the hospital. Living up here with ATV access makes it tough when stuff like this happens.
😆 Thanks for this little vlog. Laughed a lot - and we sure needed a good laugh today. Reminds us of our years out in Dillingham, Alaska.
Glad you enjoyed it my friend :-))
Great day in the shop and at the bush camp. Sure beats the *#~& out of working !
Great video Boss!!! Thank you very much for the video, and all the hard work making this video!!

Was Great to see you having so much fun! Almost like the a little boy with his Father right there... I know now the next time I see one of these old gas cans at an auction I'm grabbing it. 😃
It really did feel as if the old man was involved in this project.

@@thebossoftheswamp My Dad would of had all kind of different ideas than mine.... maybe thats why Im the way I am now too.
Never to old to learn something new. Muffins looked good, butter would've been nice, but probably would've been frozen, now jam on the other hand 🤪. Hugs to Tildy. Hi to Lori. Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
Butter indeed ;-D~
I still can’t bare to see Frankie, he was such a special dog, they are few and far between, even though you can love another one, I think that one rare dog only comes once in a lifetime, I have one of those dogs now but she is getting old, I don’t think I will ever have another one it’s to painful! loved your gas can!😊

So far, I’ve only done a slow cooked casserole but I was very happy with the result. 😊
I've done similar and will make a video in the future. This is open on the side because it needs to reflect the heat from the flames.
Great idea! I like to tinker myself! Maybe add a door, put a regulator vent hole and a thermometer so you could set the temperature!? I would have wanted butter too! 😁👍
It would no longer be a reflector oven with a door on it :-))
Love it Jim 😀. U r styling.Yr dad is w u always giving u thoughts along the way.U keep everything for a reason.Every piece has a purpose. I keep everything that I think I can use later on in my life and I always find it useful.So proud of yr findings Until next week.

JW Your my hero ! I'm 76 and do things like this ! I just building a 4 X 6 foot shooting blind on 10 foot high 4x4 post ! I've followed your channel for many years ! Keep surprising me!
Thank you kindly.
Hearing your father had so many skills , we understand where your genius comes from
Nothing like a muffin with that gasoline aftertaste yum
Not the same without the gas taste ;-)))))
Another great success JC. Enjoyed the video bro. And it's good to see you again man.... tinkering and puttering around. That's a great life!
I LOVE IT! Love watching your videos. Mom cooking too💞 Thank you
Thank you :-)
What a fun video, Boss! It will be interesting to see what other things you make! Those muffins look delish!
I've never tried cooking like that on a campfire. I like your ingenuity and it is the perfect oven. I can see lots of things being cooked in that. Thanks for the idea. Looks like a project for me to try.

This was a fun project. So glad I took the time to make it.
A creative mind, indeed, Boss. Dad did ya good by passing on those genes. Fantastic video! Thanks
Thank you :-))
Love it. You're so ingenious! God bless y'all 🙏👍🙏🙏❤️👍
A real winner boss. I can see you making breakfast on a summer morning. 👍
What a great little project. You we’re having fun that day it showed. Have a great day you two..!!
Love your little oven. Enjoyed watching you having so much fun making it. Awesome video! 🙂
Thank you :-)
What a great project Bossman. You are teaching us more ways to improvise...and that's a good thing. I have bins of 'something' that I might use for 'something' too. You just never know how you might be able to repurpose stuff to make 'something' new. I always look for those grill grates at thrift stores/yard sales. They make nice critter barriers for the top of my garden pots, and as grill grates for cooking over a fire. Thanks for a nice visit. Many blessings to you and Lori and Tildy. :>)
I have quite a collection of grates and grills and this week I made a big score at the dump on cookware. No cast iron but stainless steel of all sizes. Yessah :-))
I totally loved the reflector oven project. I plan on sharing this idea with my kids! They are totally in to making do with what you have too.
Glad you enjoyed :-)
I broke anti swing bracket on my lawn tractormower deck. Finally after 30 years in junk an old fridge holder bracket came in useful. I see a lot of broadheads in that pile of metal Boss. Jay Massey liked lawn mower blades for his. First thing I thought needs butter. Mom used to say: Great men think alike but fools seldom differ. 😂
In better conditions that thing will be a bush crafted air fryer.😆 Great job.
Great project. Please keep showing more like this ….so impressive
Thanks :-)
You are so much fun! Baking in the snow! You're nuts in the best kind of way. What a cool little oven.
Just a little crazy but no worries ;-))))
