I used to wonder why I only have 1 friend. It's because the rest of the men I grew up with are only interested in the latest super hero movie and can't hold a job!
Glad I stumbled upon this video - watched the entire thing. Great advice that almost makes me sad, sad because I'd guess about 2% of young men these days are rubbing up against this sort of wisdom on any regular basis. Good to know there are some folks our there like yourself. And you are so, so correct about detractors. You can almost measure your success in life by how many detractors you attract.
@Patrick Ancona I think there are many more young guys my age, in their early to mid 20s, that are looking for a sense of direction, responsibility, and meaning than you may think. Look at the success of Jordan Peterson, for example. There's a lot of young men out there that don't understand how society became the way that it is. I know that I try to be a better person because of role models like my father, Reid, Paul Harrell, Clint Smith, John Lovell, Hickok, MAC, and not even necessarily always firearm guys. Some of my other more intellectual role models would be Thomas Sowell, Norm Macdonald, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Friedrich Nietzsche. And then you've got the old war heroes and great leaders some people may aspire to be like, too. Like Patton, Churchill, Robert E. Lee (who wasn't a terrible person just because he fought for the Confederacy, he fought for the south solely because he felt it was his duty to fight for his home state of Virginia, his wife Mary Lee even freed her own slaves she inherited), George Washington. If Virginia hadn't succeeded, Lee would probably have led the Union forces and the war would have been a whole lot shorter. Any of the founding fathers really deserve attention from every young man. There's so much wisdom to be had about the foundation of this country in something like the Federalist Papers. Then there's also religious or spiritual role models, which can be different for every person. I think there's a lot of young men fucking around and pretending to be thugs. I think because of their peacock mentality, they're the ones you see the most because they're wearing flashly clothes or showing you their underwear. I think the young man of integrity is easy to not notice in everyday life because you just see a good ol' boy in the south or something and don't get the opportunity to understand what is on his mind. You don't go around asking people "Are you a man of integrity?" when you meet them... So I dare say, we're still here. We just don't make the headlines. I don't think you can really understand your place in this society until you understand the history of how society got to the point that you're living in. So I blame a lot of it just on ignorance... And some of these guys my age are a lot less fortunate than myself. They didn't have two parents to teach them the traditional gender roles that have sustained societies for thousands of years. How can you know what it means to be a man when mom and grandma raised you? I'm not saying we're not to blame, to a certain extent we are. But not solely to blame. We're all just individually a product of our environment, and the real choice is whether or not we overcome our circumstance. I kind of went off on a rant, sorry about that. But I do get tired of older guys assuming I'm some punk just because of my age, and I know other guys do, too. I think every generation has this kind of transitional period at some point. All I'm saying is maybe give the young neighbor kid down the street a chance before you write him off as just another millennial man-child. He may appreciate or even desperately need a mentor.
That's probably not great advice. I mean, when someone says, "toxic masculinity," I think of a steroid-junky who brags non-stop about himself, as loudly as possible, acts as though others are beneath him, slaps women on the ass everywhere he goes, lives to serve himself while crapping on everyone else around him, and shaming people who's sh!t doesn't smell as good as his, while trying to start a fist fight with every man or woman that doesn't shower him with praise and adoration for how many animals he personally kills to sustain his meat intake at every meal of every day of the year. That's my definition, anyway. I'm not saying guys should be soy-fed mice, un-proud of their personal accomplishments or physical health, but if you're going to advise young men to act like the douche I described in my first sentence, I guess we disagree on what makes a decent human being.
I'm 62 years old, if I could add one thing for those young people who may be watching this video; listen to this man, he speaks the truth and I promise you your life will be richer if you humble yourself and practice what he is telling you.
@faultroy My appologies for mistaking you for a leftist. Had you been this specific to begin with, that could have been avoided. You are the first one I ever heard criticizing Reid's presentation who is not a leftist. So, I admit I jumped to the conclusion. but, I own up to my mistake and apologize. I'm still not sure that your cretique of Reid's presentation was founded, and I don't have time to relisten to it right now, but I will later. NRA's issues are well known by now. And, although I learned it from gun channels, indeed many are clearly not ready to confront NRA openly. GOA, Gun Owners of America is a better organisation to fight Second Amendment infringements.
Faultroy, you certainly have earned your respect. Though I don't disagree with you on anything you say here, when it comes to Reid Henrich's, he is being proactive by doing what he is good at, running his training facility. However, I'm not going to put words in his mouth so I'll let him speak for himself. It would be both interesting and possibly a beginning to something good to see you fellows sit down for a chat. The important thing is that we focus on what we can do to cooperate and bring ourselves together, rather than allowing ourselves to be driven apart. Because, ultimately we face the same battle. And the left would love for us to be driven apart so they can just mowe us over. As for when it comes to taking action, you are absolutely correct. We have to take action and be willing to fail, to gain anything significant. And an important factor is that we take action together as a large powerful force. Governments all over this world have by now figured out that as long as they keep their Citizens fat, happy and either dependent on social assistance or in debt with only a false sense of security they can run people over with buldosers without them being willing to get out of their TV recliners to put an end to it.
@faultroy I don't understand what it is you're babbling about. At the end of the day if you're the man of the family you need to be the protector. Period. As for the NRA there are plenty of gun channels that have been pointing out for years that they aren't for anyone's constitutional rights just to profit off them. Sounds to me that you're a grumpy old fud that just found out you've been giving the NRA your hard earned money to bargain away your rights. That's nobody's fault but your own goofy internet troll go somewhere else with your negativity.
19 is a great age to be alive my friend. You have so much of your life in front of you. Keep your head up, be a good person to others and nature, and work hard and smart. You will live a rich life
Yes, it is overwhelming to know what's true and right when you are young and being bombarded with information from all angles, but it sounds like you are on to the right path. May I also suggest listening to former Libertarian Presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul's "Liberty Report" on UA-cam for a very wise angle on present time political topics.
Iam 18. Thanks. I work on a farm and only because i never did any good in school. But i love almost every second of it. And i learn a lot more useful skills then college
Nothing wrong with being a farmer ( they are the backbone of our country ) not every one is of college material . The trades is the future of this country ,. Weather a plumber carpenter , brick layer., electrician, mechanic, be proud of what you do and enjoy your job and life just like Reid has said.
So many young men need strong manly loving fathers. Unfortunately by telling women that they can fulfill the role of men in the home, a massive wound is left in the age-old family structure
@Stefano Dawg Very few folks will go for this truth. Scared to the bone or mind controlled but I've seen very few even listen. Banksters goes over better lol. Keep spreading it tho, brother ✌
My daughter's favorite teacher in elementary school was the janitor. He was an old Scotsman, and he was a incredible man with a lot of character. He even saved another child from a rattlesnake by killing it with a shovel. He's a bloody legend around my house.
Cain tuckee64 I don't know how old you are, but you're the first person besides myself whose mentioned a janitor as a mentor. I'm 55. I was in 4th or 5th grade when Mr. Shaub (spelling?) one of our janitors retired. He said, don't smoke, don't ever take drugs, and be truthful... That has always stayed with me...
I have been a janitor and I have washed dishes for a living - while at college and later in life. It may not be as challenging as other jobs but they are rewarding and they teach you humility so the next time you meet a janitor, dish washer, septic tank cleaner or such you will have greater respect for them ant what they do. I am a teacher in Thailand now, been here since 2005 and apply what I have learned early on, I am 65 and still learning about life. Thank you for a great video and the advice you have given, take care and enjoy life.
@Thystaff Thywill the messed up thing is that they seen to forget that females can be very toxic & abusive. Some of us aren't narcissists though. I get so sick of hearing "toxic masculinity" when in fact I've seen women even marry into my family that make a black widow look like a my little pony imo. But you're right about due process too. It's crap. I'm sorry on behalf of the female species
@Noble Savage you are exactly what they are referring to. Sounds like you were (raised) lol, without a man in the house. That or he was a poor me victim who tought you to be as useless as you are
Great work, Reid. May God turn the hearts of the father's to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to the father's. And may God grant repentance and faith.
Thanks for saying it is not wrong to be a man. My son is a 3rd degree black belt in karate. A brown belt in ju jitsu. He has been doing kali for 3yrs. He started at 4 yrs old and is 17 now. He is on his way to college this year. I am very proud of the man he has become.
Got to love the beautiful hills and hollers of East Tennessee! There's no other place like it in the world. Come visit folks, you'll never forget it! Including the humidity, if you come during the summertime... 😊
Appreciate the advice as always Mr. Reid. As a 20 year old man in this world today it seems like we’re being pushed into a corner and many of us are taking the easy way out and conforming. I for one will never apologize for being who God made me to be. I always remember the quote “strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times”. One of the manliest things we can do is to read from great leaders and philosophers who have passed down this knowledge to us through books, but greater still is the word of God which outlined above any other book what a man should be. Keep your word, respect others, follow your duty, and honor your God!
Can confirm we are forced to watch this every day 😅 edit: this edit was made by my father, he says “my dad has make us watch it daily until it is ingrained in us”
All of us watching let this be a reminder that we are not alone. There are lots of us like minded americans/human beings. I said it years ago to Reid, his attitude and personality play a major role in his success. And I hope the same can be said for all of us. 🇺🇸 💪
my father taught me the same thing if you can work with your hands you will never go hungry Reid I've always appreciated you I find myself appreciating you more and more each video can't wait to come and take a class with you hopefully in the fall I work air conditioning and so I'm pretty busy this time of year but it's definitely on my bucket list
Excellent advise. I've shared this on my FB page and urged my friends with teenage sons to make sure they watch this...together! God bless you and PN!!
Excellent advice! You become like those whom you associate with. Choose your friends wisely. I am glad I found your UA-cam channel. May God richly bless you. Knowledgeable is learned, but wisdom is shared. Thank you for this video.
I am 43 going on 18. My life experience to this point has shown me that everything you have said here, is absolutely true. You want to be happy; embrace these principles. You want to be unstable and blown around by every changing social philosophy; embrace hedonism, do whatever you want, but you will lose control of your ship and the consequences of your decisions will be generational. Thank you Reid for the great video.
To be a man,,PRAY,,WORK HARD,,PROVIDE,,PROTECT YOUR FAMILY ,,,RESPECT ELDERS,,TIDE 10%,,LOVE AND CHERISH YOUR WIFE AND CHILDEN,TEACH THEM THE RIGHT WAY IN THE ROAD OF LIFE!!
I have to disagree @ 1:22. No one is obligated to defend someone who is unwilling to defend themselves. Mental or physical incapacity? Sure. Someone who has no interest in self-preservation? Nope. Don't put yourself in harms way for someone who doesn't value their own life or future. Protect yourself.
If you believe in the Barbarian line of thought (AKA Jack Donovan’s theory) a “real” man is someone who does what ever it takes to defend and provide for his tribe; and that’s all there is to it. Many people will agree and disagree with that. I believe it to be true at its core. Maybe it’s time overdue for patriots to get tribal again...
I am 56 years old. My father never told me these things... he showed them to me, he led by example, and I did the same for my boys. They are now young men of which I am very proud. So yeah Reid, I agree with your advice.
Summer Tiger - Very good! Our country needs men like you! A good history teacher will change a students life forever. I am grateful to be taught by more than one.
I'm a senior in highschool and everything I know about this country's heritage I learned through my own research and study.. the public schools are broken
Thank you Reid I appreciate this my dad passed away 3 years ago he was a janitor was also a US Army Veteran that man taught me so much always had a gun in my hand as long as I remember crying right now but I agree with everything you said here and I know my dad would too
God bless you my friend!!! I'm old school..and was taught this from the old WARRIORS when I was a child!!! IRON SHARPENING IRON!! THANK YOU SIR!!! THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE BRAVE!!!
Once again, well said & well spoken. Great advice for the young & old alike, because it's never too late to become a better person. You the man Reid, Thanks for wisdom!
Reid..this is one of the best lectures on this topic..ever..hands down. Its emotional just listening to it because all I hear all day is crap...feminising manhood...I was stuck on every word like hearing hope in what seems hopeless. Timeless, priceless information to listen to and apply. Thank you so much brother!
Fantastic video. Reid that video was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work. That video was heartfelt and an example of the knowledge and wisdom you impart to your students in class. Thanks P.S. can you post tour video on the CQB shoot house if it’s finished?
Excellent video and yes boundaries are super important. But with boundaries to have them you have to know who you are and why. That’s what’s missing today. People are constantly going with what is trendy rather than what’s right.
Great advice!! I would hope that the youngsters coming up will take good advice..... I know that my young, dumb ass didn't. I had to learn the hard way.
On your last point my dad told me to do the same save some cash and take them out for lunch show them you want to be like them make great life choices and build character... great vid keep up the fight
Reid. Ive been watching your youtube channel for a while now. I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this message today. I admire your honesty, and integrity. I hope your family realizes what a great gift you are brother.
As an 18 year old, Eagle Scout, and aspiring Air Force Pilot, I’m trying my best to be the best man I can be but with today’s society it’s difficult sometimes. School is a joke these days and honestly I’m mostly self taught, thank you Reid, you’re someone I definitely look up to. I strive to be the best man I can be and something I am going to start doing is influence other people my age to become men.
With so many guys being raised by single mothers, it's no wonder manliness is becoming a lost art. To any guys who have a single mother: try to find a good father figure, and see if he will mentor you.
This is so true. I worry about my 14 yr old son (15 this Fall) all the time. I can mother him, love and care for him. Try to instill values in him. Go to his basketball games and cheer him on and encourage him. But I can NEVER father him or be a manly example to him... I know how important that is. I don't have a lot of men left in my family.. he definitely needs a mentor of some kind. I feel like I'm failing him in that regard.. 😔
@@CataLyst7 Lily please don't feel like a failure you're doing the work of two people many boys have grown up without a father my grandmother raised three boys after my grandfather died at a young age all three turned out to be fine upstanding men remember you can never fail unless you give up seems to me you will do just fine
Wow this is a great show today I love all your shows you do good good advice I'm going to miss wearing my pantyhose in the morning getting up and hit the field with old number 12 in mind LOL
Do you think patriot nurse could make a version for young women, I'm raising my 3 siblings, I'm only 25, I've shared this with my two brothers but I'd love a version for the women. There really isn't any good example of strong women in my family, the strongest one of them all, my mother, has died.
Oh I'm so glad you got on this topic I can finally take this dress off it's stop feeling ashamed of myself I can go back to fishing hunting playing sports wow I'm even dreaming about going back into the ring boxing all is wonderful manly thinks they're okay I'm so happy. Now I'm going to cry wait till I call my friends up at CNN
"The greatest want of the world is the want of men-men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. But such a character is not the result of accident; it is not due to special favors or endowments of Providence. A noble character is the result of self-discipline, of the subjection of the lower to the higher nature-the surrender of self for the service of love to God and man. The youth need to be impressed with the truth that their endowments are not their own. Strength, time, intellect, are but lent treasures. They belong to God, and it should be the resolve of every youth to put them to the highest use. He is a branch, from which God expects fruit; a steward, whose capital must yield increase; a light, to illuminate the world's darkness. Every youth, every child, has a work to do for the honor of God and the uplifting of humanity." Ellen G. White, Education p.57
Incredibly helpful. I’m dirt poor. Lots of adversity and poverty. It feels like my back is against the wall and there are enemies everywhere. So that makes my heart cold. And that makes me do the wrong things for the money. I needed to hears this.
You may not see them in your day to day life, but you are surrounded by your brothers everywhere you go. Just know that so long as a few good men live on you are never going to be alone. Be worthy of their company. My Grandpa told me that years ago and it's helped me through some rough times. I hope it helps you
This is what should be on the UA-cam trending topics, not that Jimmy Kimmel crap. And they wonder why my generation is so naive and dependent.
👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely honey

May God turn the hearts of the father's to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to the father's. And may God grant repentance and faith.
Hey Reid...
Thank you for all you have done.
Thank you for the videos.
Looking forward to having my boys watch this video.
Thanks for saying it is not wrong to be a man.
My son is a 3rd degree black belt in karate. A brown belt in ju jitsu. He has been doing kali for 3yrs. He started at 4 yrs old and is 17 now. He is on his way to college this year. I am very proud of the man he has become.
Got to love the beautiful hills and hollers of East Tennessee! There's no other place like it in the world. Come visit folks, you'll never forget it! Including the humidity, if you come during the summertime... 😊
Mountains of Missouri here you will find are identical to a lot of what you're used to in Tennessee including the humidity LOL
Appreciate the advice as always Mr. Reid. As a 20 year old man in this world today it seems like we’re being pushed into a corner and many of us are taking the easy way out and conforming. I for one will never apologize for being who God made me to be. I always remember the quote “strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times”. One of the manliest things we can do is to read from great leaders and philosophers who have passed down this knowledge to us through books, but greater still is the word of God which outlined above any other book what a man should be. Keep your word, respect others, follow your duty, and honor your God!
Sharing this with my sons now. I'm thankful for more voices standing for what is right.
Can confirm we are forced to watch this every day 😅
edit: this edit was made by my father, he says “my dad has make us watch it daily until it is ingrained in us”
Electrician!! Good advise Reid!!! I am older than you but advise like this is gold. I will be sharing on FaceBook!!!
Hickok45 shared this. He's a old guy on here who shoots a lot of guns!
All of us watching let this be a reminder that we are not alone. There are lots of us like minded americans/human beings. I said it years ago to Reid, his attitude and personality play a major role in his success. And I hope the same can be said for all of us. 🇺🇸 💪
my father taught me the same thing if you can work with your hands you will never go hungry Reid I've always appreciated you I find myself appreciating you more and more each video can't wait to come and take a class with you hopefully in the fall I work air conditioning and so I'm pretty busy this time of year but it's definitely on my bucket list
Amen....
Pride in your work....
Something to live by...the rewards are awesome!
So true Reid..
Great video.
I’m eighteen as well, thank you for your knowledge, sir. I did purchase “the way I men” as well. Shalom shalom.
Excellent advise. I've shared this on my FB page and urged my friends with teenage sons to make sure they watch this...together! God bless you and PN!!
Nailed it! Love your pep talks bro.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Excellent advice! You become like those whom you associate with. Choose your friends wisely. I am glad I found your UA-cam channel. May God richly bless you. Knowledgeable is learned, but wisdom is shared. Thank you for this video.
I am 43 going on 18. My life experience to this point has shown me that everything you have said here, is absolutely true. You want to be happy; embrace these principles. You want to be unstable and blown around by every changing social philosophy; embrace hedonism, do whatever you want, but you will lose control of your ship and the consequences of your decisions will be generational. Thank you Reid for the great video.

Heck yeah! Thanks for the videos Reid.
Please keep it up.
My once a day challenge right now. Is learning how to walk after someone hit my car headon. Take nothing for granted.
STANSTAN42 I hope you are recovering well and wish you the best. God bless.
Thanks for an inspiration Mr. Henrichs.

To be a man,,PRAY,,WORK HARD,,PROVIDE,,PROTECT YOUR FAMILY ,,,RESPECT ELDERS,,TIDE 10%,,LOVE AND CHERISH YOUR WIFE AND CHILDEN,TEACH THEM THE RIGHT WAY IN THE ROAD OF LIFE!!
Exceptional video. Probably one of the most important videos you’ve ever made.
I have to disagree @ 1:22. No one is obligated to defend someone who is unwilling to defend themselves. Mental or physical incapacity? Sure. Someone who has no interest in self-preservation? Nope. Don't put yourself in harms way for someone who doesn't value their own life or future. Protect yourself.
Sir - men like you make women like me grateful. God Bless you.
Stephanie Reid behind every good man is a good woman. You won't be complete without her.
Indeed!
@Noble Savage Something up your butt this morning Savage - why don't you take your baloney somewhere else? All of it.
@Noble Savage I'm not that easily offended, it's just that I never liked listening to nonsense from knuckleheads.
Noble Savage wow that might be the dumbest reply I’ve ever read.
Yes so glad to here this, I hope younger men will listen and take these values to heart.thank you brother keep it up the world needs real men.
Hands down this is the most important video yet. Thanks for helping save our young men!
If you believe in the Barbarian line of thought (AKA Jack Donovan’s theory) a “real” man is someone who does what ever it takes to defend and provide for his tribe; and that’s all there is to it.
Many people will agree and disagree with that. I believe it to be true at its core.
Maybe it’s time overdue for patriots to get tribal again...
They never will be again.
John Wick's pencil The Tree of Liberty...
Throw communists out of helicopters
Keep it watered
Maybe. I have no tribe.
Silver Letter
Then you have an identity crisis unfortunately
I am 56 years old. My father never told me these things... he showed them to me, he led by example, and I did the same for my boys. They are now young men of which I am very proud. So yeah Reid, I agree with your advice.
About to go into 1st year teaching history. I want to exemplify these principles by example to the young men in my classroom.
Summer Tiger - Very good! Our country needs men like you! A good history teacher will change a students life forever. I am grateful to be taught by more than one.
My gosh this was a refreshing video! Such great advice from a wise, humble, man. God bless you, Reid!
Going to show this to my nine year old son. Wonderful words of advice for the young men
Thank you Reid and God bless you and your family.
A lot of this is good for women to hear also.
God Bless and protect you Mr Henrichs.......WISE words.....
The young men NEEDS TO LEARN the History of there Country which they are being Rob out of.
I'm a senior in highschool and everything I know about this country's heritage I learned through my own research and study.. the public schools are broken
@@troydodson4837 The public education system is less focused on education and more focused on leftist anti-USA indoctrination.
"Young men should learn the history of their country which is currently being denied." There. Fixed your broken English.
If your native American you already know the history of your country
@@simonjones575 unintelligible. Maybe take elementary English before taking on history.
Thank you Reid I appreciate this
my dad passed away 3 years ago he was a janitor was also a US Army Veteran that man taught me so much always had a gun in my hand as long as I remember crying right now but I agree with everything you said here and I know my dad would too
Amazingly well said !!!!!! I'm 43 and I'll take whatever advice I can get .... thx brother....
Powerful Reid Henrichs! Thank you for all of your wonderful content over the years. I will see you on the Ridge.
I saved this video Reid uploaded. What a blessing to get confidence from one of the best Men out there.
God Bless Reid Henricks
God bless you my friend!!! I'm old school..and was taught this from the old WARRIORS when I was a child!!! IRON SHARPENING IRON!! THANK YOU SIR!!! THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE BRAVE!!!
Once again, well said & well spoken. Great advice for the young & old alike, because it's never too late to become a better person. You the man Reid, Thanks for wisdom!
Reid..this is one of the best lectures on this topic..ever..hands down. Its emotional just listening to it because all I hear all day is crap...feminising manhood...I was stuck on every word like hearing hope in what seems hopeless. Timeless, priceless information to listen to and apply. Thank you so much brother!
Fantastic video. Reid that video was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work. That video was heartfelt and an example of the knowledge and wisdom you impart to your students in class. Thanks
P.S. can you post tour video on the CQB shoot house if it’s finished?
Excellent video and yes boundaries are super important. But with boundaries to have them you have to know who you are and why. That’s what’s missing today. People are constantly going with what is trendy rather than what’s right.
As a millennial guy in California, I feel that others like me especially need to hear this
Read Rudyard Kiplings poem “If”.
Wow another excellent video they just keep getting better since I did subscribe hats off to you young man thank you
"The harder I work the luckier I get" Thomas J nice!
Wow Reid, fantastic philosophy and blueprint for all men to establish morals and integrity. Great stuff here!
Thanks Reid. Well put.
Thank you Reid, blessings from South Africa.
Great advice!! I would hope that the youngsters coming up will take good advice..... I know that my young, dumb ass didn't. I had to learn the hard way.
Doing one nice thing a day for someone else is how I got my life back together.. Outstanding advise Reid
On your last point my dad told me to do the same save some cash and take them out for lunch show them you want to be like them make great life choices and build character... great vid keep up the fight
Reid. Ive been watching your youtube channel for a while now. I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this message today. I admire your honesty, and integrity. I hope your family realizes what a great gift you are brother.
being a man isn't toxic?
It can be if you forget your deodorant.
As an 18 year old, Eagle Scout, and aspiring Air Force Pilot, I’m trying my best to be the best man I can be but with today’s society it’s difficult sometimes. School is a joke these days and honestly I’m mostly self taught, thank you Reid, you’re someone I definitely look up to. I strive to be the best man I can be and something I am going to start doing is influence other people my age to become men.
If you truly want to be the best ... Fly NAVY! 😉🤣😎 But seriously, All the Best, Jonathan! ^v^
Reid is a freaking "tack driver"! Even passing on the moral compass! .....
Amen! I can't stand rude, swearing, blaspheming people.
Wouldn't it be a fine thing if the elite of the world could watch and learn from this video...
Oh they know
..they don't want you to know!! Press on!!!!
Im 33 years old and look up to you dude! Your very right here!
Great advice. Your doing great things. Keep it up sir.
Unfortunately, I’m so guilty of taking things for granted, and need to work on that.
With so many guys being raised by single mothers, it's no wonder manliness is becoming a lost art. To any guys who have a single mother: try to find a good father figure, and see if he will mentor you.
This is so true.
I worry about my 14 yr old son (15 this Fall) all the time. I can mother him, love and care for him. Try to instill values in him. Go to his basketball games and cheer him on and encourage him. But I can NEVER father him or be a manly example to him... I know how important that is. I don't have a lot of men left in my family.. he definitely needs a mentor of some kind. I feel like I'm failing him in that regard.. 😔
@@CataLyst7 Lily please don't feel like a failure you're doing the work of two people many boys have grown up without a father my grandmother raised three boys after my grandfather died at a young age all three turned out to be fine upstanding men remember you can never fail unless you give up seems to me you will do just fine
100% right 0% wrong well done. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you someday by taking one of your courses
Wow this is a great show today I love all your shows you do good good advice I'm going to miss wearing my pantyhose in the morning getting up and hit the field with old number 12 in mind LOL
Honor , integrity, discipline, & knowledge ( not school) is what make a man .
I'm making sure my little man sees this video when he gets old enough to understand. Awesome video, Sir.
You tell him.
"Honor is a gift a man gives himself"!
Reading the book of Proverbs, a chapter a day, for the rest of your life. Will make the simple become wise!
A good watch for my 2 boys and I. Thank you!
Do you think patriot nurse could make a version for young women, I'm raising my 3 siblings, I'm only 25, I've shared this with my two brothers but I'd love a version for the women. There really isn't any good example of strong women in my family, the strongest one of them all, my mother, has died.
I'm sorry for your loss man.
I still come back to this video from time to time. What a great message.
Oh I'm so glad you got on this topic I can finally take this dress off it's stop feeling ashamed of myself I can go back to fishing hunting playing sports wow I'm even dreaming about going back into the ring boxing all is wonderful manly thinks they're okay I'm so happy. Now I'm going to cry wait till I call my friends up at CNN
Stephen Sanderson wtf are you on?
Obviously you view this man's advice as a joke Stephen. When Life smacks you down hard, and it will, maybe you can come back here to learn.
Great video Reid! Thanks for sharing the reminders.
Men, DON'T do drugs including marijuana. if you smoke weed, quit. Also stop playing video games. Read books instead.
Mark Mathews you can play video games and read books ya know? I’m sure some of the greatest writers smoke weed too.
You inspire me Reid. Love your videos.

You mad bro?
Dont be 😠 🙀👻👁👃👁🕶🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Wow! What can I say. I really appreciate your videos, and I respect you immensely. We need more Reid Henrichs in this Country.
"The greatest want of the world is the want of men-men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.
But such a character is not the result of accident; it is not due to special favors or endowments of Providence. A noble character is the result of self-discipline, of the subjection of the lower to the higher nature-the surrender of self for the service of love to God and man.
The youth need to be impressed with the truth that their endowments are not their own. Strength, time, intellect, are but lent treasures. They belong to God, and it should be the resolve of every youth to put them to the highest use. He is a branch, from which God expects fruit; a steward, whose capital must yield increase; a light, to illuminate the world's darkness.
Every youth, every child, has a work to do for the honor of God and the uplifting of humanity." Ellen G. White, Education p.57
Straight from the heart. No notes.
Best advice I've heard all week. I don't think people realize how important this advice actually is.
Incredibly helpful. I’m dirt poor. Lots of adversity and poverty. It feels like my back is against the wall and there are enemies everywhere. So that makes my heart cold. And that makes me do the wrong things for the money. I needed to hears this.
You may not see them in your day to day life, but you are surrounded by your brothers everywhere you go. Just know that so long as a few good men live on you are never going to be alone. Be worthy of their company. My Grandpa told me that years ago and it's helped me through some rough times. I hope it helps you
Right on Reid. I can hear here what my Pop ( vet/ cop/ Justice of the peace/hero) taught me and my brothers all our lives.
Thank you Reed. Many many young men that need to hear this. I will be sharing this on social media.
Thanks so much for the words of wisdom. Even a 40 yr old man needs a good reminder to stay the course in this crazy world. Keep up the great videos.
