I was one of the “newbie” subscribers several days ago with your mulch video 🙏
I am a “nature addict” … 💕
I absolutely THOROUGHLY LOVED “this” episode …
EXTREMELY HEART WARMING 🥰🇨🇦
What an amazing video! You're a really special person to be able handle the wild animals like you do It is a gift.
Your observing God's handy work, it is to His credit you acknowledge this. God is awesome.
I smiled through the whole video JC. Not only could I see your excitement but I can feel it as well. Not everybody has the opportunity to see what you get to see on your property and the fact that you voluntarily want to give back like you do shows your love for the environment for life and nature as well. When I think about it boss your blessings are also our blessings...... thank you for sharing with us. Love and prayers to you, Lori and tildy💕👍 keep on keeping on my brother....
Good afternoon from Copperhill Tn. Remember, we'll leave the light on!!
Love the birds! As a matter of fact it was you and your videos that got me interested in building bird boxes. Now I have a bird store that I make them for and they sell them! Plus I have them all over my hunting properties! So thank you!
You are a BLESSED man THE best VIDEO ever I've seen ALSO A few laughs 😂THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING STORY
I've only seen a flying squirrel ONCE. I was camping with the neighbors when I was 10 years old. It was really cool. Not long after I saw that squirrel, we were all fast asleep in the tent. All of a sudden my neighbor started hollering for us to get out of the tent!!! NOW. It was like 3am. We all jumped out grabbing our stuff like we were told. The tent was about to slide into the lake because of storm and WHERE it was put up. I'm glad I have that squirrel to remember because that was a horrible night as a 10 yr old. LOL You're a blessed soul, Boss. Thanks for these feel good moments you give us in this crazy world. Love from West TN.
The simple gifts you shared are worth more than anything a millionaire could buy. God Bless All at OGH!
Looking good, "Naturally"! 🐿️🐦⬛
J.C, hellthis is Martha. I'm so happy, it brought me great joy in watching your happiness helping these little critters in the forest. You make me proud. Thank you my friend. ❤❤❤❤❤
You’re the bird whisperer❣️
The birds are your angels. My husband and i love your videos. You got us to use our cast iron skillets more and buy a old waffle maker, and he's getting good at it. You inspire alot of people.
Happy to hear this and thank you for taking the time to say so :;-)
All those birds! You're the "Bird Whisperer"! To hold a raven would be so magical! That was very cool.
So sweet to not only just see nature but be allowed to share it with the wildlife.
Hope you’re both keeping well and enjoying some fine weather.
GREAT to see you again. That flying squirrel was one in a lifetime for you and us. thank you again.
TAKE CARE and STAY WELL ALL
Oh look! You had Rocky the Flying Squirrel AND Bullwinkle in the same video! Gotta love it.
You my friend are a continuous inspiration, Thank You so much for all you bring us.
A walk in the woods is one of the most relaxing things in the world. I used to sit down and lean against a tree and listen and watch the wildlife. Back then we had no tv but we had the gifts from our Lord to enjoy firsthand. Its amazing how quickly a silent forest turns into a symphony. Fishing was the same way. I can still see my favorite spots for taking a break from the memories of days gone by. Thanks for sharing your memories.

Thank-you for helping me see mother nature better
I had your experience with the flying squirrel a few years back. I was cutting wood and saw a squirrel flying from tree to tree very agitated. We loaded up the wood and went home. The next day we went to stack the wood and found in one piece of wood a nest of baby squirrels . By God's grace not one had been injured. I drove back to the spot and put the piece of wood in a tree crotch, the mother came back and retrieved them.
Had a flying squirrel I raised from a baby. Kept him about 7 months before donating it to a school for children with special needs. A very unique little animal and funny to watch.
You, my friend, have a "Special Gift" with GODS Creatures. The connection between You and the Wildlife is just Awesome. You are one Lucky Guy!! Take Care, be Safe and Enjoy your Forest Friends.
Every time you put up a video of you interacting with nature, I think of my younger brother. He had “THE GIFT” like you.
Nature is so magnificent! A raven in native culture is a mischief maker or trickster but yet comes in close to you! A wonderful gift, Boss. It's wonderful to see you giving back to nature, and those squirrel condos are perfect 😊
I love Ravens so this was a very special encounter. Once in a lifetime I'm sure.
You are watching over enjoying what our Heavenly Father created for our enjoyment yet few people take the time to enjoy. You are being rewarded by these special surprises. Animals can hear, smell, and long distance so if they approach you or come close to you they apparently don’t fear you. They know you are there long before you know they are near. I have spent my life walking, sleeping in the woods over night. I have come across bear, fox, chayotes, Never been bothered , they do their thing I do mine. They just go of in the woods I keep on walking.
47 years of bow hunting I have seen 1 flying squirrel in the daylight I watched him four 10 minutes yes a rarity
As I watched the video, I began to wonder if Lori might come prancing thru the meadow barefoot, wearing a flowing white gown, a crown of bright flowers, with a sash of woven fern fronds... Is she Mother Nature? Does she sing?
Seriously, a grinning Moose, a Luna Moth and a happy little Flying Squirrel has me wondering. If I ever see you playing pinocle with a large hairy quite man named Harry, who grunts a lot, I'll know for sure.
And one other thing... a Raven is an amazing creature in own right. Cloaked in black, a wise cleaver bird, truly one of my favorites. Right up there with a Sandhill Crane, a Wood Duck, and a Loon.
Thanks again Bossman!
When I started reading about Lori prancing barefoot etc, I got to wondering if you've been watching too many of the "Members Only" pages in the OFF GRID haha.
All the best :-))
I’ve been blessed to have flying squirrels in and around my house here in Tidewater Virginia. The first encounter happened when we went to examine an old walnut that had toppled in a storm. As we approached the fallen tree, two flying squirrels popped out. I don’t know who was more surprised! The second time a flying squirrel entered our house via the chimney and scared us in the TV room. It took several minutes, 2 Standard poodles & 3 humans to convince that squirrel to slip under the front door and escape. 😂
"If we just live within nature, rather than attempt to alter, we will be more satisfied".....I think this is something we all know, yet few fail to actually practice. J.C., you set a fine example of to live this life! All the Best, and God Bless! ~Lou
All the critters know you're just one of them 💖💖 a kindred spirit 😊
Hiya Boss, Lori and Tildy 🖐🏻. You're truly Blessed and greatly appreciate you sharing with us 👍🏻👍🏻. Looking forward to seeing all the great things you will make for the wildlife. And the clips of them enjoying your gifts. Always love your humor ☺️. Stay safe. God Bless Y'all. Love and Prayers For All ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Check out all the scripture on birds! You’re definitely gifted. I’m sixty and I hear you loud and clear!
So cool!!! My flying squirrels gifted me with chewed electrical wires outside that required lots of repairs and scary thoughts of burning my home up. They ARE a beautiful creature, though. Your flying squirrels are very luck to have you.
Yippee
You Are Sure 1 with Nature Boss & Lori, Really Enjoyed This Shared Video ! Hugs For That Pup ! ATB T God Bless
HELLO MR BOSS I,M 77 BUT WHEN I WAS A KID I HAD PET FLYING SQUIREL THAT I FOUND AND BOTTLE FED SO YOU BROUGHT BACK SOME MEMORIES BEST TO THE MISSES SHE HAS A LOT TO LIVE WITH HA IVAN FROM ILLINOIS.
Wow!
You are amazing. The birds know you are kind.
Birds are amazing. You have some great experiences.
They know your heart is pure
Agree Flying Squirrel,s are very cool to see, long as they dont get into a shed or house I see a lot of moose in the area I live always nice to see. Loved the animal clips especially those birds you were blessed to hold they must sense your a good person. I love ravens . very cool re the nesting boxes . Thanks Boss absolutely loved this
I truly believe wildlife can sense a person's intention.
Glad you enjoyed the video :-)
A raven! A rose breasted grossbeak! A flying squirrel! You are natures animal whisperer.
I had an experience with a flying squirrel. Many years ago my husband, young son and I were standing in our patio door looking out at the birds it wasn’t dark out yet, but there were late straggler birds at the feeder. I saw something on the ground hopping around. I mention this action and no sooner got it out of my mouth and this critter hopped across the small grass patch, onto the patio and on to deck and came directly up to the glass door. It was within inches on the other side of the glass looking at the 3 of us, cocking its head back and forth giving us direct eye contact. It looked like a squirrel with big flappy armpit sides and large round eyes. My husband and I looked at each other in disbelief. I explained to our son that it was a flying squirrel. And with that it ran away. It was quite a blessed experience I will never forget. 🐿️
Thanks for your videos. I never tire of the Frankie and the boss song.
JC you do have a gift. When I was between 6-9 years old, I'd see flying squirrels at dusk gliding between trees across the field from my house. It was the only time I ever saw them and I'm now a bit older than you are. This was in Beverly, MA ( near to Salem,MA) back in the early 60's.
I've always loved seeing birds and other wildlife. I really got into knowing birds because of my son when he was a toddler. He became bird crazy and as a Mom I had to learn to identify them. We had bird feeders for years. I kept a list of the types of birds that used it on the firidge.
One year I hung up a new bird house and a male wren sang his heart out for a mate. When he was unsuccessful, I took the bird house down to find it was full of little sticks right up to the opening. He did the same thing the following year with sadly, the same results.
Next I hung that same bird house on a line and Tree Swallows took up residence. They would sit on the line and my now 5 year old son would go talk to them and they'd talk back.
We had a large open front bird feeder and the squirrels would come. One squirrel would take part of a peanut butter sandwich out of our hands. My kids named her Mama Peanuts.
There is not much better than seeing, appreciating and enjoying the wild life around us.
It's funny how the Wrens build with sticks. They fill those boxes with them.
What a great idea! Regardless of who or what decides that your nesting boxes will make the perfect home, I hope you share them with us. If you have some flat thin boards you could even make a Bat house or two and if they like them they will gladly help keep your little area of heaven bug free. When my children were small all the neighborhood kids wanted to play in my yard after supper because we had a colony of brown bats in our bat house and none of the kids would get mosquito bites here. The bats would zoom over their heads gorging on the mosquitoes that were attracted to them. They were also fun to watch zooming around.
Wow...I found the "BIRD WHISPER" channel !!!! Lol. !!!! Thanks again Jimmy !!!
WOW a bird whisperer.. the only thing i can think of is you are blessed. Such a rarity.
Great project Boss. We should all make use of scraps, etc, rather than throwing things away.👌🏻
What an awesome treat, thanks for sharing Boss. You're going to make some critters very happy. 👍👍💟
Thank you, zI just love watching and listening. I also love nature.
Lovely gift from GOD for the animals to trust you. 🙏
I've never seen a flying squirrel.
Perfect shot you had. Thank you for sharing with us. Love & praying. For the two of you.
Sometimes I'll watch your ending 10 times. Frankie and the boss.
Miss him too.
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 ❤❤🎉🎉
Animals definitely can sense a kind soul. My wife tells me all the time that I amaze her all the time by how I make friends with woodland creatures so easily and so often. It's just something I've always done. I sit quietly in the woods enjoying whatever is going on, sooner or later some animal comes alone and watches me, watching them. I think their curiosity of me gets the better of them and the come in closer and closer, til their sitting with me or on me. It truly is very gratifying. You're a good steward of the land. I tip my hat to you, sir. Can't wait to see the trailcam footage of the squirrels enjoying a new condo. I'm rootin fer ya.
What a beautiful gift indeed.. 🪶🍁💮
The bird whisperer! Love it!
Gotta love birds!
Delightful! Thank you so much. It’s fun to see your Bird Whisperer gift 💝
We love our Eastern Phoebes! They used to make a nest under our back deck but after a year of us being outside during the birthing season, they moved to a crook in our roof gutter. We love to sit out back in the spring and summer and watch them catch bugs for the chicks.
Love God's art
In all the years that you have shown your interesting videos up to now, there have been so many beautiful animal pictures. Now to see all the trusting birds and the other animals around you in collected works, thank you boss for sharing your wonderful gift with us. Big hugs for your sweet Tildy and God bless to you☘️💫🍀🤩
So much fun watching you interact with the wildlife. We have fun watching the different birds come to our bird feeders in the front of our house. thank you for your video's
That was an absolute gift. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
Outstanding! We can't get enough of you down here in Florida! Our Best always, Paul & Lisa
Thank you for saying so and please share my channel with others who may enjoy it as well :-)
@thebossoftheswamp
I for sure and will, we have a friend in New Symrna beach who turned us on to you and your channel when you were explaining how you were doing this without a meth-lab. We've bought art work from you for ourselves and for my buddy in NSB all of it is very prpoudly displayed and some of the finest art i have ever puchased! You didn't invite us up for Dutch oven dinners, and we're happy to let you slide on that one. You guys found yourselves a bit confused when you walked off of moma's cabin view, were still watching. And while sometimes late, will never miss an episode! Again, always Our Best to you 2! We wish we could!
With our hearts, Paul & Lisa
I got 1 of God's gifts yesterday morning, a barred owl lit on the fence , in our yard .
Nothing short of outstanding! I live in the wilderness and haven't seen a flying squirrel in over a decade....what a lucky sighting! All of the songbirds we also have, and agree about the pileated.....the most skittish woodpecker, but it's so quiet here, we have one that comes up close as well. Yes, you nailed it! True gifts to always be appreciated. God Bless 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this and thanks for taking the time to say so :-)
Yes indeed...wonderful gifts. Thank you for sharing.
What a fantastic video. Loved it. We need more people like you in this world. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! What beautiful gifts!!!!😇❤️😇
What an amazing experience for you and us !!! THANK YOU BOSS .
I think you have an amazing gift as well.
Good to see ya, Take care enjoyed the video.
What a delightful video. I, too, live in the woods and yes, everyday is a blessing to live here. Glad you are enjoying the spring time and thank you for the lovely video.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us!! You put SMILES on many FACES!!😊😇❤️
Amazing footage ❤ Wow, the flying squirrel, the moose, the raven, and birds: awesome gifts. Thank you for sharing.

Nothing better than living in the woods away from all the craziness of the city or even small towns.
We sure enjoy doing it.
One with natural.
Great video JC and I haven’t seen flying squirrels since I was a young boy.
Thanks Boss. 🙏🏻
Loved the flying Squirrel footage, and the house.
Look forward to future footage.
I'd like to think that you reap what you sow in life.
Awesome!! talk later.
flying squirrels are a rare sight. I've only ever seen one in my life. Early morning at first light while on a tree stand during archery season. nice catch.
What a delightful video!
This summer I'm moving to my 'forever home' up in the redwoods. Watching you build the pole lean-to made me laugh out loud because that's the first thing on my list to do - build a fort!
I'm going to make birdhouses, owl boxes, bat boxes, little drinking ponds, and plant yummy things to graze on.
I am as excited to move back offgrid as I was forty years ago to move to the city.
How marvellous is that! Thanks Boss, you just put a BIG Smile on my face…👋😃🇨🇦
Gifted!
House wrens! My absolutely favourite bird - I love how big their music/call is relative to the tiny size of their bird. I miss having them around since moving out of their territory. They always make me smile when they call.
Good seeing you again, Boss. Seeing you with all those birds is outstanding.
Lovely gifts!
Since we moved in our corner of the forest last May, we have seen some of your friends here too
The Bird Whisperer
Might not be from nature, Boss, but your videos and prose are a gift as well. Thank you.
AMEN Brother
Great video really enjoyed watching you interacting with different species of birds! Me too i believe these animals know when we are not a threat to them ✌️❤️♾
Cool nesting boxes. Thanks again. God bless you both.
Awesome, you got a visit from Rocky the flying squirrel and Bullwinkle the moose on the same day. 😂I love it.
lol! ;))
Oh some one who remembers rocky and bull wrinkle!
