I can't imagine how hard it is for kids that are still isolated.

      I grew up very close to an Amish community.
      General perception was that they were really nice people. They'd wave to us from their carriages and were known for building decent barns. Walmart even made some special parking areas for them so the horses wouldn't be so close to the cars. However.. due to the self-seclusion, they were never really considered part of the community - rather more of an offshoot group sharing the same land. Even after 20 years from when they moved in, we just didn't know anything about them and anytime Amish came up in conversation, it was 90% rumors/hearsay. The only direct interaction we were allowed was at their general store or the construction office.

    My grandfather (a legal Italian immigrant) had a small grocery store in south western PA coal country during the Great Depression. We have pictures of the lot behind the store at the time full of tents with local families who had lost their homes. Those folks weren't living out of tents by choice but it worked as a stop gap. My grandfather allowed as many as would fit in his lot to set up behind the store, even carrying some of their grocery needs "on account", some for more than a year. And sadly, some of those left without ever returning to repay a dime.

  • @ShopStuff0416
    @ShopStuff0416 3 роки тому

    An idea just popped into my head while looking at the chimney cutout in the tent in the background. Since you seem to have a good relationship with the manufacturer of this tent, you could probably talk them into sending you a couple square feet of canvas. You could cut it to size, and sew hook on one side around the edge, loop on the other, and stick it between the layers if you ever have the need/desire to use the tent without the stove. It would be an easy repair without any more modification to the tent itself and should work exactly the same as the flap did originally. Could make a little sewing instructional video out of it as well.

    In Germany the lock down has got quite strict. No school, restaurants until end of January. Only one person can visit another family. And if your city/community is declared a "Hotspot", you can only go 15km from your home. It's such a weird feeling to be restricted like that. Businesses are going down big time and the numbers of clinically depressed people is three times as high as 2019. Its taking our youth from us. I'm in my "prime teenage years" (15, 16 in April) and I should learn a lot and get to see other places and people but there is just no way to do so. Keep doing these great videos, internet dad :)

You’ve chosen to live in a somewhat isolated “homestead” environment. Obviously, pluses and minuses with our choices. Christian fellowship is a strong influence that I’m not familiar with, but can see the benefits to especially in isolation. Good luck with Jack and these tumultuous times. Adolescence is a tough period, and hopefully what you’ve taught Jack early on will provide strength now when he needs it.

    I had something come up in life that changed my whole outlook on religion, personally. A lot of my friends though were highly involved with a local church and I wasn't going to let my personal opinions get in between our friendships. The local church was very involved with the youth and would host alot of things for high schoolers. Every friday night, after the local high school football games, they would host a "fifth quarter" party where there would be pizza and snacks, dodgeball games, xbox games available in a seperate room. You'd have such a variety of folks that would go there. They'd also open their doors after school hours where they provided basketball hoops, hockey nets, etc. I am very appreciative of what they offered and it definitely helped me stay out of trouble. I built relationships there that would have never come to fruition had that not been available.

    I grew up in the LDS church and we still had dances every month or two. Many of my youth leaders in church told us it was very important for us boys to go talk to the girls and spend time with them because it teaches you how to talk to people and communicate. Since communication has changed a lot with technology young people don’t know how to talk to others as well. I think the tent is an awesome idea.

    Lay a big poly tarp over roof and wet snow won't easily collapse the tent, also will allow your tent to not deteriorate as quickly. Great idea with the Tent and bringing community together.

    Hi Wranglerstar! I have been watching with my husband for the past several months. I love to watch - we never miss an episode! But the reason I am commenting today - I have been teasing my husband that you and he need to be FRIENDS! Today - before we watched, he saw Mrs. W at the market. He was to shy (unlike me) to go introduce himself. Well after watching tonight's episode it is apparent I need to make this happen! We are with you and your thoughts on our country and the changes going on. We are also a part of your community! Keep doing what you do, and we will keep doing what we do!

    On behalf of the many seniors who live alone and are estranged from family for one reason or another, & all the children who are only permitted to socialize on electronic media, my heart goes out to all of you. I empathize. I miss my family and friends too. I've called several long distance friends in the past months, we cheered each other up. A supportive community is imperative to maintain adequate psychological health in these uncertain times we all are facing.

    Great stories Cody. My grandmother was born in 1908 and her father died while she was young. She told a story about how poor they were that they would gather thistles by the roadside so they could eat dinner. Always remember, no matter how poor you are, you always have family, the most important thing, as exemplified by your story of how your family stuck together and did what had to be done to survive.

    My daughter,15 years old, is feeling the same, which has led to depression. We have now made it a point to have her friends over more and she to their houses. Also we have gotten her involved in civic projects such as litter pick up and the such. She has been much better for her now. Don't forget your kids throughout this situation.
    You have given me the idea to speak with our pastor about doing something similar as you.
    Keep the faith and the great content.
    God bless.

    I too worry about the kids out there right now. It’s hard enough to be an adolescent, without the extra seclusion measures. Hug Jack for all of us and let him know that it will get better. I’m proud of who you are Cody and Momma too. I’m a better person and parent simply seeing you guys parent that beefcake Jack and the lovely Sweet Loaf. :).

    Are there any circus tents remaining? The Rose Parade floats were once made by the neighborhood kids and community groups in the old big top tents. It was a wonderful time of year and the Budweiser horses were brought to the tent on display for the community on New Year's Eve to pull the Budweiser wagon up Rosemead Blvd. to the Pasadena parade route. This was a big event in the 1960s.

    Im 22 and have spent 2 years in total homeless, living in a tent is 100x better than living in doorways in towns. What your offering for your community is brilliant! In 40-50 years the kids will be old and remembering back to how you, cody, put these nights on in such crazy and uncertain times

    An old black lady named Mattie Deere from Alligator, MS used to write often to a columnist of the long defunct Memphis Press Scimitar newspaper. She was a very wise and Godly old country philosopher and always ended her letters with: "Be of good cheer, God is in the plan!" I am trying to remember to ignore the media and tell myself that every day.

    Man I wish more people acted like you do, people with means and resources helping out the community and people who may not have the means to, I would love to see more people with the ability to help out take a lesson from you and lend a helping hand to those less fortunate rather than sowing hate and distrust.
