I have a 1990 F-150 XLT Lariat 5.0 v8 with 102,000 miles. It was bought brand new by my dad. It was the last truck he bought. Before he passed away he handed it down to me. It needs a little TLC but I wouldn't sell or trade that truck for anything. He was a coal miner and retired in 1985 after getting laid off.
I have enjoyed this series so much. Mr. Robertson is very interesting. He reminds me of my Dad, who died many years ago. Thank you all for making me happy and relaxed.
I AM REALLY LOVING, APPRECIATING THIS CHANNEL WITH ALL MY HEART. BRINGS ME TO A PLACE OF TRANQUILITY AND A SENCE OF PEACE IN MY MIND... THERE IS NOTHING LIKE APPALACHIAN LIFE ❤
I stumbled on this I’m from up state wv and this man reminds me of my grandfather he would dress like this fella suspenders long sleeve or short sleeve flannel and just this gentleman’s mannerisms and being laid back my grandfather was from gassaway wv nice memories came back seeing this I lost my grandfather when I was 9 my single mother was raising me and my “Memaw and pap skeeter” where more like a mom and dad to me I’ve since lost my grandmother she had Alzheimer’s for years it was really sad to see her loose so much she was such a strong woman we always had a big big garden sometimes two cut fire wood all summer long . Thank you for the content ! Made me sit here and think on a lot
I love this series, I’ve always enjoyed the old mom and pop stores. I grew up in a small lumber town in Oregon. Very similar, several company owned towns, sawmills on every corner, all that is gone. I’ve lived in Alaska the last 5 years, I’m 70 and I still like talking to the “old guys”!
We love watching Ralph and hearing old stories from long ago. He is such a blessing! My wife loves seeing him because it brings back memories of her Dad. Sending love to his family!!❤
Sat on the back of the tractor many a time when we would plant tobacco, then the hoeing, replacing any plant that got wash away by rain. The the suckling, then the harvesting of the tobacco, drying, curing, grading, placing the tobacco on the basket a certain way, taking the tobacco down to the warehouse on the river in Asheville to be auctioned off. I love watching these videos, keep on making them.
When I was a kid in the 80’s I remember black berries being everywhere and on almost every dirt road wild plumb trees up and down them. Muscadine vines growing everywhere. Now I rarely see any growing around here.
Thank you so much for SUBSCRIBING to my Channel and making a comment, I love to hear what people have to say. What state do you watch my videos from? John
Theses are great stories, can listen to you guys all day. If I can ask out of respect for Ralph when did his wife pass away? Also Ralph's truck looks new for being 30 years old. William
In the 1960s my Dad made wine in a churn, too. He was about Mr. Robertson's age group and lived to 94. He used muskadines from wild woodlands vines. At night sometimes the lid would blow off, and he would get up and put it back on. Dad would give my brother and I a little glass full at Christmas. We were about 13 or 14. He would say, " don't tell your Mama, but I;m sure Mom knew, because it showed. Funny, wonderful times. I miss my parents and sister that have passed on .
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the support greatly. I post daily content on The Appalachian Channel Facebook page, if you would like to see more. What state are you watching the videos from?

Love this video. I take care of my grandmother shes 100 years old and what a joy it is ❤
I just love your time with Mr Robertson. It's evident that he enjoys you. Ty for allowing us on the journey
Thanks for watching
Loved all of his stories. He was more talkative this time, not as self conscious. Ralph's really a sweetheart. Thanks for sharing. 💕
Glad you enjoyed it

R.I.P Ralph you will always be missed
We can learn so much by talking to our elderly. I’m blessed to have three kinfolk couples all over 86 year old in my small family.
I really enjoy these. Listening about old times👩🌾
thanks for watching

Wow, Ralph has me beat! My ‘05 F150 has 80K. All original with Mobil1 since ‘08.
