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:

Propane Freezer:
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.

The reason those guys made negative comments about your lifestyle was because they were envious of you. Your living the dream they wished they had, but weren't smart enough to achieve. You have done extremely well and i admire your achievements. You got a good head on your shoulders. As always, your videos are great and educational:)

More people need to hear things like this. My lifestyle and life of acccumulating wealth is much like yours. I am in my mid 50s and haven't worked full time since my late 20s. I'm currently mentoring a couple young people in trimming expenses and being self reliant. It's a lot of fun watching them learn to get rich slowly.

I find that some people that comment on these channels seem to have a problem with people making and/or having money or success. I don't know if it is jealousy or what, but this is America, success is a good thing. But, with that being said, another persons financial situation is none of my business nor anyone else as well. I wish you nothing but success in your endeavors, Boss. Thanks for the video.

I find you very inspirational, and wanted to say thank you for taking your time to talk to us. My husband & I have been talking about homesteading for a few years now. It seemed a bit overwhelming, but your advice is very helpful. Please ignore those that talk trash about you, there are always going to be ignorant people out there that are jealous, they want things but dont want to do the work or make the scarifices it takes to get there.

Makes sense, setting goals to live the life you want and then working toward that would bring satisfaction as you progress. As mentioned below, a constant need for instant gratification would really make it hard to accomplish that long term goal. You sound like you manage delayed satisfaction well. Thanks for all you do. I really enjoy your channel!
@thebossoftheswamp

Instant gratification isn't always gratifying because it usually comes with a train of debt trailing behind :-o

You sir, put out videos that I wait for with anticipation. Needless to say, your channel is my favorite and I always save your videos for the last of our day. Thank you so much for your insights and logic that you share. Looking forward to your next one.

Thank you for this video! I love hearing your story. I was born and raised and currently live in southwest Florida but my Dad is from upstate New York and I have spent a considerable amount of time in the Adirondack Mountains hiking and exploring while visiting with family. I fell in love with the Adirondacks as a child because of the magic of its natural beauty, specifically being able to see the stars, the clean air and water, having camp fires and escaping the hustle and materialistic lifestyle experienced here in Florida on a daily basis. The land here in Florida is also extremely expensive, the taxes are high and the building codes very restrictive so even if I wanted to stay I'd never be able to afford anything reasonable without a large mortgage and substantial predictable income which is something I've wanted to avoid at all costs. Even renting in this area is unreachable as my friends pay upwards of $1300 a month for two bedroom apartments. My uncle just recently offered to sell me 10 acres in upstate NY inside the Adirondack park for a reasonable amount of money which I have in savings! So I believe I may finally have a start to my dream of someday living a lifestyle similar to yours.

@mascatrails661
@mascatrails661 7 лет назад
how cool!!! yes, totally go for it! We actually lived in FL for many years and owned our house in Ft. Lauderdale. We experienced the same thing, $2300+/yr in taxes for our .25acre plot & house, VERY limited in what we could build or create there due to city code, restrictions, and permits. We also just didn't love the vibes, we didn't have many people who were genuinely interested in getting back to the land near by us, so we felt very alone in our dreams. Recently, we sold our house in FL and bought some acreage in W.North Carolina and are finally living our dreams of homesteading and could not be happier! We have fresh spring water from our land gravity fed into our little cabin, our power bill is $35/mo, taxes are like $400/yr, we have fires every night with wood we harvested & split on our land, and never hear a single sound from the city or neighbors, although we have a resupply town just 15 min away and 3 major cities within 2 hours each direction. Your dream of getting away from the hustle and bustle of S.FL is totally worth going after. You can do it, and we completely believe in you! :) Kate & Rafi Masca www.HomesteadForEveryone.com
@Megatron995
@Megatron995 7 лет назад
You were definitely in the wrong part of Florida! Come inland and go north a bit to reach Polk County, which is pretty much smack in the center of the state. Almost everything here is dirt cheap, including the dirt itself. You just have to know when to buy. If you try to buy when the snowbirds are all deciding that they'd rather just stay, you'll get taken. Once that season ends? It's a gold mine of opportunities. The only catch is that you still need to stay out of the cities to avoid hassles, but that's easy enough in this area. Building codes are quite reasonable in unincorporated Polk, assuming you're not trying to live in a shed with no plumbing or something far out like that. As a bonus, tropical storms and hurricanes become a lot weaker by the time they get here. The coasts, as you know, get totally blasted with every storm, even the ones that are nothing but a lot of rain by the time they get inland.

To learn and educate ourselves on what's out there and what's possible. Keep living the dream. Funny enough, mine includes spring water.

It's very good to hear a success story. The simple truth is that 60 years ago you lived in a totally different world and if you think telling a 20 year old to do what you did in 1950 is going to help them along the way you're dreaming.

It's no one's business where your money comes from. You make video's of your daily life and how you do things. Most people are just jealous and too lazy to make an effort to do the same. I like watching you and your companion dog going to the homestead and chilling out. It's no one's business where your money comes from.
@thebossoftheswamp
@thebossoftheswamp 7 лет назад
I didn't make the video to explain anything to anyone, but rather to show the folks that are interested in this lifestyle that there's more than one way to earn a living. An independent lifestyle is hard to have when you rely on only one source of income. Cheers :-)

Hi Boss, agreed. The limit to ones success is their ambition. Live smart and pay once. First time viewer and of course I subbed. You didn't have to share your story but you did. Quite a few folks out there simply don't get it due to the "buy now, pay later" programming everyone receives this day and age. What some of us view as simple logic, others cannot grasp due to the instant gratification and competition constantly inundating our living rooms through the television and school system. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Yeah I think you're great you're like a jack-of-all-trades like my dad was. I also have some land with an RV on it as the same ideas from you for repurposing everything inside of the RV to finish one of those Barn cabins with a loft. I think everyone in at least the United States should think about conserving all of our resources!

My dad had 3 Jobs to pay for his 8 children ! We were happy, went to church and school. Holidays were special, we all grew up pretty smart. And not one of us went to the pokey ! Mom was awesome. The things she did are mind boggling today. She was a super woman ! She had 8 children, cooked, cleaned, nursed, loved and nurtured us while Dad worked his butt off ! I look at their pictures today and pray they are in heaven with not a care or worry ! Smiling down on us from above ! Amen !

Hey Boss, That was a lot of great advice for young people and old. But I don't think you need to explain anything to anyone. People need to realize that they are responsible for the choices that they make. And for every choice you make there is a recource because of it. The world of instant gratitude is killing the american dream. The problem is we don't teach that any more. I'm getting ready to go back out to camp to hunt the last day of Pa deer. Supposed to be fresh snow on the ground, wish me luck. God Bless

BeaverRick, I could not have said it better than you just did! Best of luck on the hunt =) JC, as always, thanks for a great insight to a simple life that MOST people cannot even understand. You bring inner peace, and that is what most people scratch their heads over....that is just my opinion though....Looking forward to the "night before Christmas" video for this year! =) Take Care

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I forward this video to my two grandsons. I want them to see that anything is possible as long as they have a clear dream And are willing to work in what ever it takes to make them Happy. Don’t pay attention to the haters. We have no one to blame but ourselves if we are not happy with what we have.

I've watched your channel off and on for years. I missed two years while I was experiencing the off grid life in a yurt on the southern shore of Lake Superior. I just want to tell you that I appreciate what you do. Thank you for sharing your experience with those of us starving for it and learning along the way towards our own off grid life. Your a good man and alot of us have learned from you and your videos. Also my interest in border Collies comes from you and Frankie. If you ever make it to the Upper Peninsula I'd love to shake your hand and buy ya a beer. Keep enjoying your life and ignore the haters. Your doing a good service and it's appreciated.
