Squirrels were stealing my bird seed so I solved the problem with mechanical engineering :)

Phantastic Gus is my spirit animal.

@Marcos Amparo y
Hey Mark, watching your channel with my son and we thought you would like to know that rodents have no gag reflex meaning peanut butter is super risky for them to choke on. We love your channel!
lets be honest, when we clicked on this video we never thought it would be this good.
Yeaa
Yep
Same
True
.
Every squirrel: I’m just gonna sit at the table Phat Gus: I AM THE TABLE
REALLY IM DIEING AT THIS COMENT
Phantastic Gus’ Kids: We are the table
i guess its a she now-
omg hes pregnant-
Phat Gus just knows how to enjoy life-
that was actually very entertaining, I had to giggle at the end when the squirrels are literally sitting at the picnic table waiting for the door to open, these squirrels are geniuses lol.
19:40 That spider shot out a silk line in the hopes it might be picked up by the wind (or snag on something maybe), before it jumped into the unknown. It's how baby spiders disperse over a wide area too. Spiders are fascinating! 😊 Edit: just looked at this clip again, I don't believe that kind of spider can jump so its silk line is what saved it.
@Mrtophat that's fine, just don't squish them when they're not bothering you. They're friendly little dudes up here
I don’t like spiders they scare me
@ANGELIQUE Doesn't look like a jumper to me; I have kept jumping spiders for years. Yes, jumping spiders have a thing about 'butts in the air' (it's actually a courting thing) but they don't do it before they jump. As I said before, other spiders will throw out a line in the hopes of being picked up by the wind. Jumping spiders will have their spinnerets to the ground before they jump, anchoring a drag line so that if the jump is unsuccessful, they can get back to the starting point. I have spent many hours watching them. Jumper spiderlings do use the wind dispersal method but this definitely isn't a spiderling.
Spidersquirrel!
Pretty sure that was a Salicidae of some kind. The whole "but in the air" is often seen with them. They do have weblines as well, which this one clearly has as well, but that looks like a jumper jumping.
LOVED this! I did the same thing… started feeding birds, ended up watching the entertaining squirrels for hours! They are the cutest little things and I especially love when they bury their find! 🥰 They dig a hole really, really fast, place the find inside very tenderly, then cover the hole back up just a fast as it was dug. Now for my favorite part… once it’s covered up, they pat it down quickly, quickly but gently. It’s adorable! But it’s their little hand-like paws that catch your attention. I can’t explain any more than I have, you’ll know exactly what I mean when/if you are able to see this for yourself! 🐿🤭
@Jewel.e Am now a friend with like half the squirrels in my city ! , it's driving me NUTS !!!
@Non Available HA!! Too funny! Gotta love them little creatures.🐿 Seriously entertaining.😄😉
You are very accurate in your observations !!! , they do that in my yard all the time !!!
I would literally watch a whole season of Squirrel Wipeout.
ME TOOOOO
Bro same
@gung yah
Same
Me too
I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this and the 2.0 version!! Every couple of months I come across it and love it all over again.
As a Natural Resources Manager, this video melts my heart as it shows every animal as they try to survive using their unique abilities.
4:27 I love that little hummingbird that flies in and hovers above his head as if to ask “Hey watcha doin over here?” 😂
Dude, you can tell these squirrels were having so much fun!! It's literally a once in a lifetime opportunity for them, it's like if you went to the forest to pick some berries and found a full obstacle course to get there.
Neighbor: The squirrels are really becoming a problem. Mark: Yeah, I've been training them with a special obstacle course.
Yes
@Thomas Buddingh mark: you heard me
@BIG-NABZ If your chickens are pecking eachother to death, you're most likely over-crowding them.
I’m just the owner
Absolutely fun, smart tree dwelling rodents...hate to say it bro but I think they worked you, they felt like having a gym and you built them one...😂😂😂 that is hella cool...love this video
Definitely one of the best videos (well made and narrated) I've ever watched! 💖💖💖💖
Outstanding piece of work. The humor, the variety and difficulty of the course and of course the amazing athletics of the 4 contestants. This was just brilliant.
Mark Rober, In all honesty, u & ur videos r nothing short of phenomenal! Thank u for bringing unbridled enthusiasm, precise knowledge and undeniable humor to what some may assume is a mundane subject!
Guys this is a perfect representation of what RSloft is about. Or what it should be about. Pure joy, creativity and originality. Great video Mark, this is the type of content i would work for to get. Loved it, especially Gus.
agreed
@A-game te
Gus is a Gussie .
And Trump!
And money to spend squirrel watching 😂
I love how Mark puts so much effort into everything and everything turns out so cool
What a cool video! Narrated and edited perfectly! Well done 👌
these 2 squirrel video's were so entertaining, I thoroughly enjoyed them. Please make more and set up a course just to see how far the squirrels can jump.
Outstanding! Thanks for 20 minutes of sheer entertainment!
Now i feel like i know these squirrels personally,
@Sonny Boiii squirrel
@Marcos Amparo Squirrel YES
SQUIRREL YES
@Marcos Amparo God I read that as getting "in" a squirrel and was like what- 😳
rick and marty
OMG, I never laughed so much! Squirrels are definitely the Velociraptors of the rodent world. I've raised 3 (different times) abandoned squirrel babies, bottle fed, then oatmeal fed, then released. Their intelligence is very underrated. I had one that could open a door (like a Velociraptor) by hanging on the knob and swinging back and forth like an Olympic gymnast. As soon as it heard the latch release, it dropped to the floor and pawed the door open. Incredible.
Watched the whole thing. Impressive and entertaining!
i havent laughed this hard in a very long time. im flooded with gratitude for this gem of humour and gentle observation. omg this made my year!!!
That was awesome!!! Super cute video! Definitely let's you observe them under a different light! They're just out to survive as we all are! But what a fun way to interact with them! Definitely made them work for the food. Love yur little gift to them at the end! :) but they are full of surprises still! Lol
He's like the science teacher we ACTUALLY want to listen to
I know
@Freezy Bill Nye the science guy!
Ryuukai L why does it matter if Bill is a "boomer"? he's an awesome "boomer" who isn't "boomy"
1st of all, nothing wrong with science, but science teachers are some kind of monsters.
Raven12 21 - I hope you aren’t teaching him spelling / grammar lol
I love phantasic gus’ mood like she is always chillin
I love how the squirrels keep coming to his yard to try the course over and over again. Clearly they seem to like the challenge otherwise they'd try once, get startled by something, and then never come back.
One of the best things I've seen on RSloft. It made my day. Thank you for uploading!!
OMG loved this. Thank you for not hurting them. Did the squirrel ever bring her babies there for a snack?
Every other squirrel: does course normally Phantastic Gus: Hold my walnuts
@i AmTrustWorthy her*
@i AmTrustWorthy gus is a she?
Phantasic Gus: Lemme eat my walnuts- i feel like his would fit more but still its a great comment-
Let’s be honest gus ain’t letting anyone get his walnuts
LEGEND 333 noice
Amazing how all these Squirrels in this video have such different personalities. That's so adorable!🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩
This is just fantastic, leaves a smile and happy feelings. Thanks for sharing
You made a theme park for the squirrels. They loved every second of it. They seemed to like even being launched.
What a wonderful thing you have created and chose to share with people like me
I like how he talks about the squirrels like they’re speedrunners. “A solid run” “A time under 40 seconds” “A near perfect run by Frank”
9:35 Run's dead
I mean, just like real speedrunners, they did try a lot to cheat the system, didn´t they? lol

His comments totally make the video.
Lol I love how he names the first two squirrels rick and Marty lmao 🤣🤣
The prep work was amazing, this is awesome
9:39 your commentary! I actually fell out of my chair 😂😂😂😂😂
Healthiest twenty minutes I have spent in a little while! Thoroughly delightful. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video.All the explanations of how certain mammals always land on their feet,the sense of story telling and the general entertainment.The beautiful nature that is exposed an the intelligence of an animal.Incredible content🧠
The squirrels sitting on the picnic bench is so cute lol
Right?!
until you see phantastic gus laying on the table doing the starfish
Everyone: Keemstar vs Ethan Klein Mark Robert: calm down and watch squirrels get yeeted
Phat Gus the superstar
Phat Gus was hilarious 😂
What a breath of fresh air to see such an entertaining, fast moving video! LOVE IT!!! ❤️ I’ve watched this many times. I always laugh and pick up something I missed before. The planning, time and effort put in makes for an all time FAVORITE on RSloft! SHARED with fellow bird lovers who, of course, have to deal with these acrobatic creatures!
I never thought squirrel is this brilliant
Thank you!! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!! 😆❤🙏🏻
You, my friend, are a fantastic story teller. Even though you video is kind of squirrely, I enjoyed it.
I cant believe it worked so well, this was probably one of the most entertaining things I've ever watched.
Same!
