What beautiful memories of your Great Grandmother. I love to hear old time stories and old time ways. My grandparents were very resourceful and I too wish I had learned so much more from them. My Grandma Dot had a table that would go good with your tractor seat. It was a round oak table and the base of it was made from an old car axle. : )
I know its not easy or all that comfortable to open yourself and your family up and be so public with your lives, but you are such a model and inspiration for so many (myself included), that I couldn't see my prepping life in the same light if you weren't here. Thank you for your trust, your gentleness and your rock solid convictions. Thanks to your whole family for the light and warmth you bring to so many. Brightest blessings!
I enjoy watching your videos. I made my first batch of homemade laundry soap Friday, using the recipe you posted and I liked how it turned out. Thank you for all of the good stuff you post!
I've always enjoyed stories from our ancestors. When I was a child, I was the only child hanging around the adult. I would spend hours shelling pigeon peas and lisening to stories about thier youth and how hard they worked and how happy they where. Because of these stories I am who I am today. I have passion for all things preserving, living off the land and family. Thank you so much for sharing.
Man, I can't stop watching these videos! You're addictive! I'm moving along on my survival supplies for the uncertain future. Be prepared! Are you Mennonite? My ancestors came to Pa. and founded Germantown.
@pensandcalls Thank you so much!!! Good luck to you!! No I am not Mennonite or Amish. We are Plain Clothed Christians....That is interesting about your ancestors....Thanks!
Great video! I have a hillbilly that is very creative at turning the old into something new and different. College kids are also crafty sometimes at this. If you just watch ppl (the ones that can't afford store bought items are the most inventive) you'd be amazed at the inventive things you see. You should have to be poor to see the creative nature in ppl! I love this kind of thing.. Again great job hun.. Aj
Having grown up with my granddad as my father figure, I can appreciate your sentiments. My grandparents were share-croppers during the depression...and like you, what I wouldn't give to have them back so that I too could learn more. May God bless you and keep you. Your efforts here are very much appreciated, thank you.
Wow, Thank you. I've been watching your videos for quite some time -- I'd love to hear more stories like this one, more about the people and memories from your backgrounds.
What a beautiful story. My grandfather was also a carpenter. He did not make much money off it but his furniture is better than any that we have bought. God bless.
Mountain Man, it is heartwarming that you have such respect for your grandmother. So many people today could care less about their older kinfolk. You and Misty make a great couple. God has richly blessed you. Thanks for sharing the story!
The majority of people around now couldn't survive if they had to live the way they did back then. You know that talking with your hands like that, you might be part Cajun!! Thanks for sharing, take care.
I really enjoyed those stories and the history. I used to make camp-fire 'woks' from old plow disks. Wish I could get my hands a few of them again, they really worked great. God bless!
love all of your videos i learn so much from it even tho i am getting old lol 54 but that's a diff story are you good folks menanights or amish? any hoot i am trying to get to that type of living
I have one of these and I love it.. especially during the canning season. I can't stand for very long because of knee and back problems so I use it at the kitchen sink when I have two bushels of green beans.. worse yet, green chilies, cause it takes forever to get the charred skins off. Sure saves my back! I would have loved to know your Grandma Mountainman,, but I would like to know you to.. I admire you both alot and am glad I found your video's, Bless You All
What is that on a pole right behind you. Also I see you have a greenhouse and was wondering if I could send you some seeds. I have an organization called American Seed Alliance and would really like to share with you. Contact me if your interested.
Thank you Misty and Mountainman! I'm sure we'll have tractor seat-chairs before long now. :-) Very interesting about MM's grandma, I had a grandma that grew all the food they ate, too. But we didn't live close when I was small for me to visit very often. Lordy, I wish I had her here with me now! I did inherit both grandmother's cookbooks though! Thanks again!
a dime-at-a-time in her time was $2.81 current value of silver today. Kinda gives new/old meaning to nickel and dime'ing...
items of real value, like eggs will always be worth something. One silver dime sounds like a pretty good market price for a dozen eggs to me! For both buyer and seller.
Loved this story guys, thanks for sharing. I feel sorry for those tractor drivers, I drive one every day with a nice padded suspension seat and I get sore... I couldn't imagine sitting on that all day hehe
Loved this! its so nice when you do these with the history of things. Ya'll share so much here, and have such a nice place and family. A lot of people would look@ that and don't have a clue why ya would use it. I'd use it just cuz my ancestors made it. :) times are getting hard, people need to be learning these skills. Making things is a lost art. Ya'll oughta have classes, I'd be there if I could get there! Thanks for another great video! God bless!
They just don't make stuff like they use to back in the day. I enjoy what you and your husband have to offer us all here on you tube(a simpler time in life-with less stress)
my granmaw raised 3 boys n 7 girls durin that same time period my real granpaw was hit n killed by a drunk driver but she managed too keep the diner open and raise all them youngins by them all workin the diner n puttin out good food she kept that diner fer a long while i even had to work in it before i was even school age my granmaw believed once you could walk you could pitch in n do something to help out i can remember hearing even if all ya can carry is 1 tater
Tell Mountainman to keep on with the history lessons. My grandparents were similar as they worked the land, farmed, and canned. I wish I would have had the opportunity to learn from them as well. Thanks for sharing.
We may be distant cousins! My maternal great grandparents were Hicks. Garfield and Hazel Hicks from Mercer Missouri. I feel very fortunate to have grown up with them in my life. These days many don't even know their grandparents.
those seat came off of horse drawn farm equipment and the old john deere belly mount planters. after sitting on one of those all day watching the hoppers making sure they don't stop up, your ready to go home and take a bath and sleep. been there done that. great video GOD BLESS
This video got me thinking of my grandma that raised 6 kids during the depression with my grandpa and all the things that they went through....I remember an old tin cup that was hung on a string by the kitchen sink if you needed a drink of water you used that cup none of her kids or grandkids or great grandkids died from drinking from that cup we have gotten to germaphobed now a days...I sure wish I had that old cup there was nothing like drinking ice water out of it on a hot sumner day
@Carballoca That is awesome....We done the same thing when we lived in WV, we had such wonderful water there with a wonderful spring. We kept a dipper there to drink out of...Hey I was wondering are you Prepper Chicks on FB.....I just liked your page if so....Thanks for watching...God Bless!
I love your site. I think that you and mountainman need to write book on all the stuff you know and have learned. Country wisdom from all the older people. You could write it down Misty from your perspective starting out asa city girl to where you you are looking now. OR start some lecture classes on what a city person needs learn. You are an expert in action. I would take your classes. :)
Yep, the old things from your parents, grandparents & the new things made by your kids mean the most to you.
I'm a guy so I give unsolicited advice. Maybe, put some weight into the bottom of the disc-blade (like a floor lamp). It looks like lead could be tapped into that shape. (Lead is a heavy metal & vapors are dangerous when heated. = be careful if you 'cast' the shape.) (I be a worry-wart too.)
Great story! During the depression, My paternal grandparents moved by horse and buggy from Edgefield, South Carolina to Blythe, Georgia. It took them 3 days to travel approx. less than 100 miles in the frozen winter weather. Later on in the 60's my grandmother sold eggs along with mealworms for fish bait..
Love it.My dad was born at the beginning of the Great Depression.My grandfather was born around 1890, I think.My grandmother was born around 1902.They was just a different breed of people back then.This world is just going to pot.I'm like you;I've met more good people here on YouTube than I have met in real life.When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade and lemon marang pie with it to make life a little bit sweeter.My health is the biggest thing holding me back,but one day....
@prettycountrygal I couldn't agree more! The world is just going to pot. My grandmother was born in 1900 and my dad in 1929, so it sounds like we have similar stories, Prettycountrygal. Oh the memories. I wish there were with me today. I missed out on so much knowledge because my father had me late in life; so he passed before I got to learn as much as I'd like to know. Thankfully, I did learn a few things.
Great video!.......We had a lot of tractor seat stools around our part of the country too. Small cafes, parts stores and tractor shops. Great memories for me too!
I sure appreciate the "dime a time" mentality. My father trapped and sold pelts, collected newspapers from the rich and scrounged scrap metal, hived bee swarms and on and on to make it through those times. Y'all feel like kin.
@gloorbit >Still a bit of money to be made in trapping. Check the prices especially the price for Muskrat pelts. (All pelts = money. But Dang, it's just a peewee Muskrat!) I think what's driving the market might be the Chinese as they be 'Pinkos' & NOT greenies.
The metal-mongers are work now days too! I jump on every loose Aluminum can I spot. (Like an NFL player going for the fumble.) No longer are there piles of 'junk' metal along the roads anymore. Times be hard once again.
More good information. Thanks
