This channel chronicles life lived closely within the natural world, its seasonal shifts, observing the wildlife passing through and the rhythms advancing; grouse drumming, peepers screeching, trumpeters honking, grosbeaks fluting. This journey is at times absurd, reflective, humorous, slapstick, thoughtful, silly, contemplative, and laughable, but never profane.
Life on the Bog • Ep. 152 - October 30-31, 2021
• Animal Wrongs • Punchbowl Turds • No Clothes!
Daughter Kinsey shows me how to make her from-scratch biscuits. (Hand flatten only, no rolling pin.) I learn of my neighbor’s thorough hatred of beavers and their (in his view) destructive deeds, which merely translates to harming man’s interests while improving the beavers’ lot. Whose rights, anyway?

Aerial Combat - I continue clearing the ATV loop trail of the two deadfall poplars, then resume digging out and hauling away loads of ash and stumps from the burn pit. The game camera records a beaver working during the night.

Nocturnal Sneak - Tackling the firepit emptying project ... finally. Its present humped state does not afford safe burning. And, there is a growing pile of slashings to eliminate. Beaver has been gnawing on a large poplar tree adjacent to the north loop trail. I set up the game camera to see what I can see ... and get a big surprise. Insley encounters a porcupine, out of sight and on her own. I...

Overkill Clearing and opening the loop trail is another to-do task. Blow-down trees and limbs have obstructed the circuit. The kitchen gets a new trash receptacle, a fancy white plastic ensemble for $19.99 with a maw-opening step peddle. Insley thinks it's grand and she shares a toothy grin with us.

Radio Free Insley and I spend the afternoon working along the game trail. She concentrates her attention on a red squirrel inhabiting a standing dead pine; I finish cutting up and removing the tops of the last birch I felled weeks earlier. Along with tidying I am determined to release the "arched" oak that the birch took with it when it fell. LIFE ON THE BOG chronicles life lived closely within...

Ebb & Glow A walkingstick or, a walking stick? The latter is for walking. The former is a rarely encountered insect; one showed up at Otter Pond, walking very stick-ishly on the side of a chair, then amid the pond-side grasses. Insley encounters a teetery toddely dead pine, along the ATV loop trail, where a red squirrel teases and torments while Insley rips out large sections of bark. Finally, ...

Meet & Greet ... Politely! I am working with Insley to teach her restraint and manners around others. Living alone together we are rarely presented with "breakout" sessions for her enthusiasm for others to overwhelm them; her latent exuberance springs to life. With my help she's learning to control those energetic impulses. Dennis has nearly finished installing his south pool bridge to the nort...

Insley Loses It How many e-collars can Insley shake off and lose in the wild? At least two now! AARGH! Neighbor Dennis spotted my five-year-old red maple transplant the other day.

I had been given show-and-tell instructions on how to control the mower movements: "... push this and pull that and switch the yellow relay button ..." but those details jumble together and lead to misapplication heartache and despair!

It’s so beautiful there❤❤🎉🎉
I loved this video! Such a sweet and special time for both of you! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Are you Tom Green's dad
No sir.
L I K E 👍👍👍👍👍 🌟⭐ 🌟 ⭐ 🌟🤩❣🤩❣🤩🤩
I absolutely LOVED joining your trip to the chicken coop! I miss having chickens. E very time you go to get eggs, it feels like Christmas!
getting alot of work done on tuesday.
Your rain dance @ the end...😂😂😂😂😂😂. I love your silly sense of humor, dad! Love you!
You and Chuck seem to have a relationship of respect and trust. No pride. It's a beautiful thing to see. Many years of getting there, I'm sure. ❤
Yes, we each had our own unique talents that fit well working together.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the spider spinning her web. Incredible work, those little things do!
And quick. How do they do it without blueprints? Not once did I see it pause to consider, or have an "oops" moment.
Lying about your age and gloating about being able to tear phone books in half.... got me laughing out loud again!!! This episode is top-notch, Daddio!
Lying? Huh.
LAUGHING OUT LOUD AT THE COWS RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD!!!!! HAHA!!!!🤣
It was startling at first, then hilarious, as though she was challenging me to stay off her road!
Well, this was a gem of a find! I didn’t expect to see this. That was really fun to reminisce. Tiny (not even 4 weeks) baby Ezra was in my belly 🥹.
Love the spring storm views and sounds. Missing that right now, being in December!
I absolutely DIE of laughter every time the dust buster fires up!
Hello Chris, I’ve been enjoying your channel since I found it a couple months back. How I found it was by searching videos about bogs. As a boy in the 60’s in WI , I was exposed to a few bogs and just loved the experience. We used to jump and make the trees move . I’m building a TH-cam channel also . It’s fun watching your channel grow as I am learning to grow mine. Maybe one day we will cross paths . Blessings to you friend Kevin
I'm glad to know you, Kevin. I too lived in WI for 40+ years before moving back to MN. Bogs are a wonder; your making "the trees move" is exactly one of the sorts of childhood fascinations I share with you.
Good luck brother. Keep safe always.
Thanks, will do!
Good content sir. Here to support you. I'm a blogger too from Philippines and I enjoy your blog
Very kind of you, my friend. Thank you!
Creepy sounding
Where is your bog ? Looks like central Wisconsin
North central Minnesota
THIS IS DEFINITELY SOME COYOTES!
No to shot
Never seen anybody work so fast in all me life...you on speed or sumit....
Any swamp apes out there ?
My dogs went crazy
What a horrible eerie noise
I live in the UK..born and raised, but I did live in Dearborn heights Michigan right by Detroit for a few years. I owned a trailer with a forest at the back. I heard Coyotes going crazy like this one night...scared the life out of my gf at the time. In the morning by the stream was a huge dead buck which had been slightly eaten. I was shocked that they could bring down such a large animal. Could've been sick of injured I guess. Anyways, just thought I'd share. May Jesus bless you and your loved ones.
@Trainfan245 No Jackals here mate, just foxes. God bless you
Coyotes
Definitely coyotes.
Depends were you live
Chainsaw engineers love this !
Well done! Greetings from Finland, Janne, Chairman of the World Ice Carousel association
My guess is Coyotes. Check this and see th-cam.com/video/bRc_V5-7Qu8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheAnimalSounds
Cool video, I subscribed. You should use SMZeus to help rank your videos.
hahaha and funny too
Bless your dog! Beautiful and these eyes 🥰
What a beautiful river to fish! Felt like I was out there with ya. Love your dog too! Good times with friends. Tight lines from Rick
What do you use for your time lapses? I've been looking for a good way to do them.
