This video has been up for 10 years now, and I've watched it at least 4 times. Love it! I can't (and don't want to) even imagine what kind of miserable life the 47 people who disliked it must be living.
My grandpa had a cabin on the Kentucky,ran trot lines and hunted and fished around those parts up to the day he died. Never wanted to go anywhere else, that's contentment.
Just looked back on this and realized this is the single thing that sent me into a shanty/house boat/raft frenzy that has led up to me making plans to raft down the Big Sip! Thanks guys! PS: I was born in Kentucky!
at first i was shocked, but then i loved it! no mortgage, credit cards, time clocks, boss, deadlines, day care, traffic, gas bills, etc. they own their own lives. love it!
I would give everything I have ever earned to LIVE on a houseboat like this. I grew up in the country too and find my peace with nature. I should have never listened to the the idiots telling me I had to "get ahead"! Live and learn. P.S.: Bluegrass is my favorite country music. I loved it when the "Darllins" played on the Andy Griffith Show when I was a kid!
I read about the Moron Brother and this video in the Kentucky Living magazine I got in the mail today and just had to watch this. I'm glad I did. Now I want a old river houseboat even more. Talk about a great vacation!
The best way to get around the bones in a buffalo is to leave them in and pressure cook the meat, which makes the bones soft. Then you make croquets, just like salmon. You won't notice the bones and they improve the flavor and add calcium.
KYAfield has the best videos...this one and the turtleman are my favorite vids on youtube... These guys are full of laughs... I bet he kept a grin on his face all day hanging out with these fellows.
My grandpap loved this old river and spent many years living in a cabin,running trot lines.These guys are really funny.One of the songd on their CD is about a guy's wife trying to break the tobacco chewing habit.
The way you eat them bone carp is you boil em till the bones and meat separates, let the meat cool down, flake it up in a bowl, add a little cornmeal and flour, onion and egg, then fry it up in bacon grease like you would Salmon Patties. Makes good eating.
Oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD! Starting at 3:42 is the greatest banjo riffs I've ever heard but its only 10 seconds long. What is that song?? Has anyone bought their records and can tell me? Its so awesome.
Just have to ask.....Would you rather spend time with these ol boys on the river or Michael Bloomberg in New York City. .......? There is only one correct answer. (Hint, it is the one with the bluegrass music).
you need to make a trip the third weekend of september to winfield, ks for the national flatpick championship. One of the best bluegrass festivals around. alot of the best modern bluegrass today.
This is just GREAT! I myself, am from the 'outskirts of Appalachia', where the State lines of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky meet, so I can relate. Thanks!
that river must be a quiet one. if it rains too much, or the river goes wild, what would become of that house? apert from that, me too, i'm jealous! it's beautiful! great.. these two guys are intelligent
You're not morons, you're the smartest people I've seen on the youtubes. How much is your electric bill / rent / phone bill? Point proven. :) Enjoy the easy life!
the way ive heard of getting around the bones is to fillet it and put it in a blender and blend up the meat little hair bones and all and make something like a salmon patty out of it

My grandpa had a cabin on the Kentucky,ran trot lines and hunted and fished around those parts up to the day he died. Never wanted to go anywhere else,
that's contentment.
I would absolutely watch a fishing show with these guys. Different guest musician each week, playing and fishing.
I kind of envy them and their peacful life style. Wish I was going down that river in their house boat.
Some people may have thought these guys were crazy, building this boat. Now look at them, having the time of their lives. What a GREAT idea.

"with his mouth" LOL, seems pretty laid back, I like these guys..
Yep one of the reasons I love living in the south.

Now you see, why can't we have a reality TV show about THESE guys?
You go guys. You people after my own heart. That's the way to live.
KYAfield has the best videos...this one and the turtleman are my favorite vids on youtube...
These guys are full of laughs... I bet he kept a grin on his face all day hanging out with these fellows.
Now what's wrong with me? I should be doin the same thing. Love the boat and the music and the fellas. Good on you.

Those guys are cool as they come. I like how pops is in the johnboat out back piloting the shanty.
The song is the Fishing Blues by Taj Mahal
these guys have got the game beat
I laughed when he said somethin bout government cheese and if we had bologna we woulda won the civil war! These guys are hilarious!!
"If we'd had bologna during the Civil War, we'd won." lol. KY River is beautiful, especially along the steep palisades.
I was high when I watched this and thought it was the funniest video I'd ever saw
Oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!
Starting at 3:42 is the greatest banjo riffs I've ever heard but its only 10 seconds long. What is that song?? Has anyone bought their records and can tell me? Its so awesome.

Just have to ask.....Would you rather spend time with these ol boys on the river or

A lot of people might mock these guys, but inside they're really jealous. I think the boat's beautiful, and a GREAT idea.

When the other twin was born, before they said to drown him the doctor that we did everything we could but he still pulled through.
I like seeing people having fun :-)
if we tried that here, we'd get a ticket for unauthorized motor vehicle on the river, or something.
You're not morons, you're the smartest people I've seen on the youtubes. How much is your electric bill / rent / phone bill? Point proven. :) Enjoy the easy life!
Let's see more of the boat life, especially the night life and cooking. What a way to live!
@Skorpionw0w your welcome and you can look the song up Fishing Blues here on you tube
Excellant way to beat paying county taxes.
These guys are just good Americans!
This is how I talk when I go camping. Just comes natural win yer out in the wahld.
I seriously bet they could make $ giving rides on it. A lot of folks would pay to have a stress-free hour on the water, music included!
I could isolate on that boat for a good 2 weeks.
I'm obsessed with these guys! Haha omg I want to meet them.
whats the size of that shanty 16'x26' ? are they only using 16 barrels as floats.
Thanks Triple Aught for sending this......I love these guys LOL
With the crazy life we face everyday, I'd love to take a vacation and hang with them.
