MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: How do you have internet at your cabins? A: I have cell service at both cabins but it is spotty due to foliage and cloud cover. I can access the internet from my cabins but have to drive to a local wifi location to upload videos.
Q: How old is Frankie? A: Frankie will be 10 in April of 2018
Q: What video editing software do I use? A: Presently, all I use is Windows Live Movie maker but I’m considering trying imovie, Adobe Elements or SONY VEGAS PRO.
Q: How do you get your water? Did you dig a well? A: Presently, I haul water to the NY cabin but at the NH cabin, I drop a kettle into an old well that was dug by hand by the settlers in the 1700’s.
Q:What is your favorite brand of cast iron cookware? A: I prefer using vintage cast iron. My favorites are BSR and Griswold. If I had to buy new I would buy a Lodge Brand. I plan to purchase this dutch oven in the future:
Q: What do you use for refrigeration? A: We have a small gas refrigerator that we salvaged from an old Shasta camper and a custom icebox that I built into the cabin wall. We make ice on site with a propane freezer.
Video of icebox:

Q: What do you use for cooking and heating? A: We use a Kitchen Queen 380 for cooking and heating during the winter months but we also have an antique gas stove in the cabin for when we don't need the heat from the KQ.

Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada ATB Terry
" GOD BLESS "
They looked as good as they tasted. Can't beat the cabin cooking.
All the best to you and yours.
Ahhh, the good life. Hope you know how inspirational your videos are for people that want to know how to do things for themselves.
Happy to hear that. Thank you
So glad I found your videos! Peaceful.....quiet......you're living the life :) My dream is a "tiny house".......pressing on everyday. Thanks for sharing with us!
Happy to hear you enjoy them Debbie. Thanks for taking the time to say so.
If there's one thing I agree with it's eating good at a cabin. Those ribs looked great and that Baby Rays is my favorite too. Frankie made me laugh trying to dig up the chippies, his antics never get old. Another excellent video Boss, keep up the good work.
Jon
Great video Boss, as I said before, your embrace for life, and what the Lord gives us everyday is inspiring, If only more would just be happy with what we have, rather than greed to have and get more.
Words well spoken right there Danielle. Couldn't agree more.
Thank you for another great video...I learn so much...like a separate fire and how to remove a lid safely, and on and on and on...this is why I am a very happy subscriber...love, love, love, your furry partner.
Thank you Janice, Happy to hear you enjoy my productions. I have a new vid going live tomorrow morning that you may like. Thanks for commenting.
Looks like a great supper.
Most definitely :e)
I love watching your cooking videos, I know I am like every one else waiting for new cooking videos. And knowing how busy you are with moving an all, we just have to wait. Thanks J C, thanks for all of us an God Bless.
Busy as ever but I won't be moving until the house sells. Lots of cabin wok needs to be done before I move anyway.
Canned whole potatoes are great when you forget the fresh ones lol .
Couldn't agree more... the novelty never wears off cooking outside! Looked delicious! Frankie sure likes the chipmunks... I used to have a dog that loved the outdoors as much as I do! He actually used to catch rabbits, chased bears, etc! dutch oven cooking is great year 'round! Thanks for sharing!!
I love the dutch ovens. I've cook a ham out there for Christmas these past few years and it always comes out perfect no matter what the temps are outside.
The sauce is the boss when cooked by the boss. Another great video
I chuckled when I saw that on the label ha ha
Bossman, you my friend, you are living the life and a king and his jester. I too call them chicka-munks. Thank you as always, for sharing.
Funny that a lot of people see it that way even when I live on so little. My life doesn't require much income and I'm working on simplifying even moreso.
Thank you for your comments as they are always appreciated.
Just another awesome video!! I could watch Frankie and his shenanigans all day!!
I think he does this stuff cause he knows people are watching ha ha. Those border collies know everything.
And now, .... I'm hungry & can't wait for spring. Good stuff.
I could almost taste them ribs, Frankie looked happy to be back again.
Yeah Frankie's been complaining about not getting enough screen time.
Loving the peepers in the background. Spring must be finally getting here.
Yes the peepers are awesome. I love all that stuff.
Well done JC, A back woods master chef !!!
Thank you buddy.
Always encouraging to watch your videos! Thank You!
Oh Yeah, Back to tha woods!!!! And ribs too!!! Good times!!!
Good times for sure. Thanks for commenting.
Big thank you for sharing your life with us.
And a thank you back for watching and commenting.
Looked Great! Anything you can cook in a crock pot you can do in a dutch oven! Glad to see you enjoying the beautiful day!
I think they are more versatile than a crockpot though since you can bake breads and other desserts in them. Crockpots are great for indoors though. I had mine going all day yesterday.
ive used my dutch oven 5 times since i bought it after seeing your chicken cooking video. every meal was awsome !!!! i have to agree with you that cooking outside on an open fire is a very rewarding. great to see frankie doing what he does best.(being frankie) !!!!!!!!! yesssssir...... life is good..............
So far, every meal from that pot has been awesome. I enjoy the cooking as much as the feasting. Life is good for sure. Frankie can attest to that.
All the best.
Now it's the 4th time I've watched this video. Good eating never gets old! In fact I rewatched 9 of your older videos tonight. Great viewing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome. It's 9 below with a wind chill of -27 so I'll be filming a cooking video today... indoors :-)
thebossoftheswamp oh my gosh that is cold! Sounds like you have the day planned accordingly 👍🏻
The good life..even if only for a few days a month..nice way to recharge your human batteries..and it wouldn't be complete without Frankie..that meal looked absolutely mouthwatering..looking forward to more videos
Nothing like cooking with a Dutch oven. I have mine and then got my Dad's a few years ago when he passed. Dinner in one and cobbler in the other. Can't be beat. Some of my fondest childhood memories involved camping trips with that old Dutch of his. Thanks for sharing, look forward to more of your videos. Great stuff
We never had a dutch oven when I was growing up but I'm still using the same iron pans that we had when I was a kid. Great memories for sure. I'll be doing more dutch oven cooking very soon.
The Sauce is the Boss! Love Sweet Baby Rays!
your way of life is my idea of paradise best of luck in your ventures
Thank you Aran and all the best to you.
I am sitting here, supposed to write some documentation for some business cases. Largely stressful, needing input from people that doesn't even respond. Then, at the end of the tunnel, I will be rewarded with with working on stuff that I have no control over.
I have to change jobs.
I must say, I really enjoy your videos. Makes me long for the weekend when I can head into the woods here.
Now that's good livin! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed.
AHHH... spring is here! Cheers to road building, Dutch oven ribs, franky and his chip monks and your awesome videos, J.c :)
Spring is here but I still have the woodstove burning. Better than skeeters I guess.
You've inspired me. I dug out my old 12" D.O. and have ribs and vegies cooking right now. Showing my 15 year old boy how it's done. I think it's gonna be a regular from now on. Thanks.
Sounds like fun. I'm having leftovers.
thanx for the video they are very entertaining and enjoyable len
Love the Swamp Boss...... Awesome slice of Americana..... GOD bless him. ...and his sideckick!
Thank you for your kind words :-)
Another old one boss, you and Frankie keep em coming !
More on the way. Thanks for commenting.
what a beautiful spring day, and to cook outside everything tastes so good cooked outside and especially over wood. I heard those peepers they were out well before dark they were just happy spring was coming
beautiful day indeed ;-)
I am glad I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I find your videos interesting. I would like to see the end result of a completed corduroy section. Thanks. Give Frankie a hug for me. He's beautiful and smart.
Glad you are enjoying my videos. I will be back to work on the cabin road real soon so I'll be filming more of that project.
Some of the nicest looking ribs I ever seen,good show.
Thank you for commenting.
Another great video; this takes me back 30 years to Boy Scout camp out dinners. We had stews in the dutch oven with canned biscuits baked on top, peach and cherry cobblers, hamburger goulash, ham and beans, and some I have probably forgotten. Thanks for all the great videos they are truly appreciated.
Sounds like so great memories. Meals cooked this way just don't get forgotten like with traditional methods. There's something to be said for that.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Try baking biscuits on top of a stew sometime you will not regret it! Venison stew with biscuits baked on top is proof there is a god and he really does love us.
Another great video! I know what I'm going to be making for dinner this weekend, the ribs looked amazing :)
They were awesome. Had the second rack for lunch the next day.
All the best to you Misstine.
That looked delicious. You are living the good life my friend. The less complicated the better to relax and really enjoy life. That was good advise on how to determine the heat that you're cooking with.
Awesome video boss, the ribs made my mouth water! Glad to see your enjoying the fruits of your labor. Take care and be safe.
They were mighty tasty. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks for your videos it made a nice break in a long work day.
kevin tulak You deserve a break today :-)
A meal fit for a king!
Cabin time is always great time!! Really enjoyed this one JC - thanks.. and as always - love your videos, insights, and thoughts on good living!!
Beer taste good and make campfire food taste good.
Greetings from Poland Jim, my mouth was watering watching the video and I can see that you enjoyed the ribs. As always thanks for a small escape.
Glad you enjoyed it
this is on my bucket list.
Icould smell em cookin from my house!!!Well done Boss, love the crowbar trick!!! Good to see you guys!!!!!!!
They were good cabin eats for sure buddy. All the best.
Cooking with wood never does get old. Thanks for the upload.
I cooked with a Dutch oven for the first time this weekend and Used this recipe. Came out awesome. Thanks for the great videos I'm a huge fan
Great to hear that. Thank you for saying so :-)
JC this is the third time I've watched this video. The ribs look more delicious each time! Haha!
Ok now I want ribs again :e)~
Great looking dinner! It's hard to beat good ribs and it sure beats duck jerky :) ....glad to see the snow has left you alone for awhile ...happy spring!
LOL on the duck jerky 8-))) Ribs are my favorite meal and I ate the second rack the next day. Can't beat food cooked in the woods.
Happy spring to you too bud.
You should consider a keyhole shaped fire pit. You basically maintain the fire on one side then just drag the hot coals over as needed. Thank you for the video, keep up the nice work.
+Wildsurviver That's a pretty good idea right there. Thanks for sharing.
I love ribs and cooking over an open fire with a Dutch oven but never both. I will have to give that a try. Those looked great. Great video Boss!
Great job Boss! We had Ribs at the Firehouse tonight with baby rays sauce too! Good thing I didn't see this vid first I would've drove the cook crazy ( he cooked for 17 hungry guys, lol).
Wow! Ribs for 17 guys. I bet that looked as good as it tasted.
I have been watching your vids with my grandpa a lot and me and him love your vids keep up the good work
John Youngblood Happy to hear that John. Glad you enjoy them.
I love the way Frankie is watching you at 4:47 . We have a small dog and she gets very vocal waiting for someone to throw the ball. Love the cabin videos. Take care.
Paul.
Thank you. I appreciate the comments. Frankie gest really vocal when he sees the cooler being packed.
Smart dog. Take care.
Paul.
awesome eats Boss.....looks like a slice of heaven at your place.
Going at it one slice at a time buddy.
I love to cook with Dutch ovens. I am always trying to find new ways to use them. I enjoyed your video. Thanks for putting the time in to have us enjoy along with you.
Oh how those ribs look so succulent and tasty !!! You really do have the best lifestyle ever !! I just love all your videos. I would pay good money to stay at the cabin for a week :). Stay safe and keep having fun . Rob.
Thank you Rob. I think you'll like the next video cause I'm at the cabin and doing more dutch oven cooking. Should have a new vid in a day or two.
Thanks for commenting.
Thanks for the info on taking care of my Dutch oven.
.Iv'e missed a few stepsalong the way. I learn something new every video.
Glad you enjoyed :-)
Great videos, sure enjoy them. I built a cabin 12x16 a few years ago and I wish I would have seen yours before I did mine. I centered the door location on mine.
Yours is much better for room, and you are a master cabinet and wood worker, just awesome.
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the compliment. You can always move the door over. It would allow you a much better use of space and be well worth the effort.
😃hahaha...Frankie catch' n chipamok's !" LoL✨👍✨
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Great video ,my mouth is watering the meal looked great nothing like dutch oven cooking. thanx again JC
Gotta love campfire cooking.
Good video lots of doggy points. Thanks so much for posting. Take care, be safe!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for commenting.
Hey JC, those ribs are making me hungry. I really like the idea of having a second fire if you will, for a fresh supply of hot coals if the cooking needs some extra heat. And you're write, that forgotten potato would have made it just perfect. Good to see Frankie again, I was starting to miss him. As usual, good job my friend. - Chris
Hey there Chris. Yes the spuds would have been great but the rice filled the void just nicely. I usually cook a ham outside for Christmas and the second fire is needed for replenishing the coals. I'm not much of a charcoal user, just too cheap I guess ha ha.
Love the dutch oven. Been using cast iron for 40 years. One trick I learned from my Nordic grandmother in law that I have used ever since, use a base of sauerkraut. It tenderizes the ribs like you will not believe. Works just as well in a regular oven. And the kraut is fabulous as a side dish having soaked up the rib renderings.
I have used sauerkraut with pork in the crockpot but never with ribs. Sounds interesting and I'll have to give it a go. Thanks for the tip.
thebossoftheswamp When I was growing up my mom used to cook baby back ribs in the oven over Saturday night for a Sunday dinner. But she also would cook country style ribs in the oven with sauerkraut for a change. Dad and I liked the bbq better and mom liked the ribs and kraut better but when it was all said and done the leftovers did not last very long.
Claudey Brewer Will add to my comment. We always use bbq sauce toward the end. Fall off the bone tender and sauced just right. Best of both worlds. Cheers!
Great video.
Watching your videos, feels like your right there. Awesome way to spend a day and that grub got my mouth watering. Thanks for posting buddy.
Cheers
Great way to spend a day, yes indeed. Glad you enjoy them buddy. Always a pleasure hearing from you.
Awesome video .Thanks for sharing .
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Great video!! Man, still working on a way to be self sufficient and homesteading!! You are an inspiration to get there. Thanks for sharing!! & keep on sharing lol! Angie
Thank you Angie. I'm going through a major downsizing right now and getting rid of everything that is not in use. A whole new life chapter in the works. Going to be an interesting year.
Now that's living Brother! Great meal, going to cook that one up myself
Trying to make the best of it. I think the beer really helped the ribs come out the way they did ;-)
Another great video as always.. The ribs look delicious and Sweet Baby Ray's is the best. Looking forward to the bathroom update. I made a Robin nesting box after watching your recent video and wouldn't you know the buggers decided a shelf in my garage was a better place. Now I can't close my garage door. Oh well, I still get to watch them hatch.
Awesome video ! You have a new subcriber.
Happy to see you at the cabin again, this about the same time l would go to my place, we also enjoyed using our dutch oven. love the video............
Dutch ovens are great aren't they? Such a rewarding method of cooking. Food don't taste like this in a microwave.
Yum. More good eats.
I love your video but there will always be a special place in my heart for this little cabin - it's why I started watching your videos Boss many many years ago. Thanks for everything - those ribs looked amazing. Cheers from Wisconsin.
really enjoy your channel. especially the cooking and dutch oven...Thank You for sharing!
Glad you enjoy it Dave, thank you for saying so.
Trying my first meal in my new Dutch oven. Your an inspiration keep up the videos.
Best of luck to ya.
Nice new camo boots I bought a pair of them at tractor supply for this trapping season kept me warm all season and great vid boss keep them coming
I found them on clearance and couldn't pass them up. Glad you enjoy the vids.
Awesome video Boss. We just wrapped up our third annual old fashioned Thanksgiving dinner at the property; all items cooked in cast iron and/or on the campfire. The end result was a fantastic meal. We really enjoy cooking with cast iron, and it seems to make everything taste so much better. In fact, the leftovers were reheated on the wood stove in those same cast iron pots. So good. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work.
the boss be eating like a king
That looked like it tasted so good!!
The Chickamunka!! Too funny. I know you miss Frankie JC; so do I.
I once had someone tell me on a wildland fire assignment that smoke follows beauty! Thought you'd get a kick out of that! Great video, thanks for sharing.
+Lisa Miller I'll recycle that one :-)
so much fun to watch
+Tim Wygant Thanks for commenting.
Love your vids as usual, it's been a brutal winter here in the Northwoods lookin forward to doing some smoking. Got a few beaver this year, started late in the season, gorgeous colors, damage control on private pond. You have a good heart, a man with great morals, and a beautiful dog.......
Trapper Ron
Once again thank you for the information!! Honestly I learn more for my homestead and new trapping hobby than anyone else on UA-cam. Please keep 'em coming and give Frankie scratch behind the ear for me.
Yup those look amazing
I'm so hungry after watching this. Im drooling like Frankie!
Pretty soon you'll be chasing a Frisbee ha ha
thebossoftheswamp or fetching beer from the fridge with my mouth. I tried to teach my cat that trick, but it got a bit messy .........
Digging the vegetables under the ribs trick, sweet baby ray's, excellent!
If I happened upon that dutch oven... you'd have to beat me to death with your crowbar to keep me from devouring the whole pot! Another amazing video. A great day indeed for you and Frankie!
That's why I switched to a crowbar ha ha
All the best buddy.
Awesome Video As Always Boss..Thanks For Sharing!!..
Thank you Chris. I appreciate your comments.
I find myself always wanting to click on the like button. And when I go there, I usually find that I already have.
+Joe Sanders Thank you my friend. Happy to hear that :-)
Looks like a awesome way to cook!...I'll have to give a try sometime, nothing better than cooking over the fire.
The novelty never wears off.
Love them sticky ribs! Great video, as usual!
Thank you. Ribs are my favorite meal.
got my first dutch oven a couple years ago-changed everything-great workmanship on the cabin,the rustic trim work is very nice
Got to love ribs with Ray's on them !
That's for sure. Good stuff!
