I lived in Idaho. My family would inflate tractor inner tire tubes, and float down the snake river for 10-12 miles. My step mom would drop us at one end with our dad, he would rope a cooler of beers around his tube, and drink all of them before reaching our landing point. My stepmom would meet us there after running some errands and then my Dads wasted ass would drive us home. Btw those inner tubes are made of pure toxic shit and you’d be rashed wherever your skin touched them but apparently it was no big deal. No life jackets, lol. When you live near nothing, danger is fun.
"What do you do if you have a medical emergency?" As someone who is also from rural America in a similar area? I rush 45 minutes to the nearest hospital, or we call 911 and get life-flighted out.
If you know wether the other team is downstream or upstream from you, it works. Problem is when you don't know, that means you risk the team that's upstream going upstream and the team that's downstream going downstream meaning both teams go further away from each other rather than towards each other. Also Americans usually imagine a swiss army knife as one of those tiny red souvenir knifes with the Swiss flag on it rather than an actual normal sized knife that it actually is
I’m kind of shocked that suburban Florida had a better Boy Scout program than rural American lol. We were actually as close to 100% kid run that we could be, and always had great and interesting meetings and camps and stuff. A lot of out door stuff and hands on learning with excellent instruction by the older kids. Was an amazing experience and loved my time in it.
We regularly would go with other kids in the neighborhood and do lazar tag in the woods behind our small neighborhood. Would stay out unsupervised until 10pm as far as we knew. This is all normal stuff and I can see it being much more extreme if you're further from civilization.
Preach, the reason why trucks are so big is because of EPA rules. The trucks engine must release co2 with a percentage in relation to the vehicles size. Instead of making a better engine, they just made bigger vehicles to hit the percentage.
I love being able to see chat, they never let us down 😅 20:50 Shout out to weplord , Mike was talking about hiding popcorn in the woods & having a forest w**k to which weplord says Natures Blessing 🤣🤣🤣
Mike - lol I became part of a Boy Scouts of America hosted grp called The Explorers...which accepted girls, since...I'm female - I was like 15. We did a trip called HOTLANTA which was a trip to Atlanta at midnight. We went to the Atlanta Airport and saw how they put meals together for flights, we did a few other things I can't remember and ended w/a trip to a bowling alley bowled for an hour and then went to a church to sleep a few hours before returning home the next morning. We got to the church around 430AM lolol it was an adventure to say the least.
35:30 You're right if you know that they are down stream of you. If they're upsteam from you and you follow your plan you'll head in opposite directions and make the issue worse. It's hard to tell when using a river if you don't have a direct landmark on the river to tell you where you are on it.
I’m from south Alabama and a lot of these folks are way more country than we are. Except they aren’t really country. And not in my the same way. They seem to be deprived where as we seem to have all kinds of things to do.
I am european and can verify Letherman knives are better quality than the typical Swiss army knife. Americans did not invent the concept of the multi-tool, they just have a brand that did the concept with better quality.
To be totally fair, the use-case for a Leatherman and a swiss army knife are also totally different. The other is to be used as an actual tool, and the other is small (usually) and exists only for convenience and to do small things with. If swiss army knives were constructed like a leatherman, it would be heavy and over-engineered af. 😅
You can tell Preach knows nothing about tools. While oth tools are all in all equally useless. The multi tool set up is slightly less useless than a swiss army knife. Also.....that's a toyota tacoma. Small truck.
i didn't live in a nearly as rural an area but i could see people from my childhood area doing this too. it was a small town of a couple hundred. mostly farmers and such.
Fast flowing water is actually totally fine to drink. I went to a fresh water waterfall here in Tennessee and the stream coming from the bottom pool was flowing fast but not rough, took a couple drinks. Probably the freshest and best tasting water I've ever drank
In rural midwest, if its not a school night, i remember as a kid going out into the 2k acres wood with friends all weekend. We collect dead tree wood, make a fire, catch fish in the stream and shoot the occasional squirrel and rabbit for food and just chill in the woods all weekend. We all had cell phones (late 90's/early 2000's) but parents never called because its completely normal. Country raised kids are just more durable and resourceful than thin wristed city kids.
When I was a kid in the late 80s-early 90s, there was a creek next to the baseball fields and a couple homeless people lived there and kept all kinds of porn mags hidden in the bushes all around there. We’d go and find them all the time lol
In 1983 Tim Leatherman sold his first "Pocket Survival Tool", larger and more robust than a pocket-knife-based tool, and incorporating a set of needle-nosed pliers in a butterfly knife-style mechanism. The Victorinox SwissTool was the famous Swiss Knife manufacturer's first foray into the folding plier-based multitool market and was brought out in 1997.
Originating in Ibach, Switzerland, the Swiss Army knife was first produced in 1891 when the Karl Elsener company, which later became Victorinox, won the contract to produce the Swiss Army's Modell 1890 knife from the previous German manufacturer. Just a tad bit before 1997.

Last I tried it, ESO has bad gameplay, but probably the best exploration and gathering of all the other MMOs I tried. On the flip side though, it's extraordinarily predatory. To the point where I think it's a necessary criticism of the game every prospective new player needs to be warned of. Which, ironically, ESO themselves kind of do, because they advertise the game not with slogans like "go on an adventure" or "kill an epic boss", but rather "last chance to get new limited time mount!" It's incredibly blatant.
The hiding porn in the woods comment is hilarious. I was just talking a few weeks ago with friends all of us from who grew up separately in different states had all independently found porn in the woods. We commented how Today youth will not have the same experience, like what are you going to find now? someones ipad with their search history. that is a piece of history that dies with our generation.
Today I learned that Mike is the preeminent city boy and has hilariously stereotypical opinions of Americans. What a weird rant about swiss army knives. No one claimed America was the founder of the portable multitool. The story contained no drama or gaming.
I live in Ga...nowhere in hell in this state is that a thing so lol never even heard of this "time off" until last week's Drama Time when it was first mentioned.
It is nationwide, just because you might not have done it doesn't mean others haven't in your school. Maybe you weren't in that friend group or there isnt anything to hunt in your specific area. Every year half of my class would be gone for the entire opening week of deer hunting and for those that didnt hunt got to watch movies everyday because its such a huge thing here that it was pointless to try and teach half a class and catch up the other half later. And even if you didnt hunt, given youd just watch movies during open deer hunting week, half the people that didnt hunt would just stay home anyways.

You do NOT want to see that family tree. It has very few branches.
i grew up in these types of places cant wait to hear this episode lmao
That is not a big truck
talks about the fuel consumption of american trucks while flying to the us 5 times this year alone
I love how Mike nailed it in a couple sentences. Pretty as a postcard, lot of Jesus, apples, definately haunted.

The first multi tool I'm aware of was found in the grave a Roman legionare. Fork, spoon, picks etc. Very neat item.
New England isn't a state. It's a region. So it could be any number of states.

I myself got cellphone when i was 19 years old so circa 2007 but i didnt have any reason to have one before going to uni.
Going hunting is weird? Lol what? People eat meat all the time 🤣 going and getting it yourself shouldnt be that weird.
Honestly I grew up in leeds (yes, west Yorkshire) and I found porn mags in a hedgerow not far from school, so I think it's pretty universal, lol.
That 8 hour assessment for driving was so far off, can’t even make it through Germany
please make a video about how to figure out where east is!!
