Hank was the real deal. He didn't sell out, which cost him in the country music community back in the day, and several of his songs talk about it. People my age who listened to him gave up on modern country music. And rarely listen to anything after 1990.
Until the interstate highway system was built most people didn't travel more than ten or twenty miles from home in their lives, it was too difficult getting up and down those mountains on rough, winding two-lane roads. You had to make whatever you needed or know someone who could, because there was no Wal-Mart.
@@CyberNut930 The road I grew up on in WV passed over an abandoned mine tunnel. A section about twenty feet across was continually subsiding and every time it sank 6-8" and the school bus has having trouble getting over, the state road would come along and fill in the depression with more asphalt. Rinse and repeat for a decade or two. I guess they finally filled up the tunnel because last time I passed that way it was relatively smooth and didn't look like a recent patch job.
I am a hillbilly and damn proud of it. Everything he sings is true, when my wife and I were married we basically lived off our garden and what I brought home out of the woods. Hillbillies, aka country folk, are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. You treat them with respect and they'll ask you to put your feet under their table. Piss them off and they might shoot you off their porch. Where I live if you knock on someone's door at 1 am, show some respect and the whole house will be up. Asking you if you want something to drink, figure out your problems and help you on your way. Also it would be a rare man that would take payment unless he had to buy parts or something. Not for labor, just the parts. Oh, by the way, it's totally acceptable to buy something for his family or a drink or 2.
That was the Cumberland River that runs through Nashville, Tennessee. That entire video was filmed there. That barge was named after Hank Williams Jr.'s mother, Miss Audrey.
Hank Jr. really means this song. August 8, 1975 He and friends were hunting mountain goats on Ajax Peak in Montana. While they were crossing a snow field the snow below Hank gave way and he ended falling 440 feet down the face of the mountain. According to him most of his face was ripped off in the fall. He had multiple skull fractures and the remoteness of the site caused a six hour recovery to get him to a hospital. He went through multiple surgeries over the next two years and it was unknown if he would be able to sing again. He wears a full beard and sunglasses to cover the scars. All the rest of the past 46 years have likely been gravy for him.
I like toby keiths performance of this when he siloutes hank jr for his life and they tell that whole story and have the people who were with hank in his time of need
Asia and BJ, you guys are so cool and not judgmental and really like bridge gaps and see things, like I'm a white boy who lives in the woods and seeing you appreciate this song is so meaningful. We are Americans
@@clipsedrag13 neither hell nor high water will take this from me. I know the Promised Land when I see it. I know what Freedom means... I know what its worth.
I’m from southeastern coastal North Carolina. I grew up very privileged in a university town, but also 40 minutes away from my river house- down the way from one of Blackbeards hidey-holes. On a private river front road. I grew up doing bellyflops and cannonballs off my dock, growing up with hunting and four wheelers and boats and jetskis. I can skin a buck and I can run a trotline.:)
The name of the Barge is Miss Audrey, the captain's respect to the name of Hanks Mom; Hank Sr (his father) would refer to her as Miss Audrey. That is a smaller portion of the Mississippi River, up-river.
I was so lucky to grow up in the country. Daddy taught all of us to hunt, even us girls. Mom could grow anything in the garden and we had a BIG one. (Think 1 acre of veggies each year) and Grandma taught us how to home can and store EVERYTHING. The veggies, meats, and the basics of how to smoke fish. When Covid hit hard in 2020 and the stores weren't always stocked full, no one in our neighborhood went without. We made sure of that. We shared vegetables, canned meats from the year before, even eggs from the chickens and milk from our goats. This past spring I helped 4 families in our neighborhood start their own small, family sized gardens.
I’m from Texas and grew up the same way. And I don’t care what they’re making in a five star restaurant, country cooking passed from generation to generation will always take the blue ribbon. Before anyone argues with me, I know old women who never worked in a restaurant but their kitchen gets callers from out of state
No matter what race or color our visitors are.. We take care of our kinfolk. And if you are guests with no harm intended. You are welcome to share with us what we have. Love.
@@johnmosley9376 ~ The line comes from an old saying, "You can't stop a sow and you can't make her run". I think he is saying 'stomp us out' also. That is the way I have always heard it.
We grew up learning how to hunt and fish, so we would ALWAYS have a food source no matter what, learned about gardening from our grandparents, and made our own fun growing up. Every person who grew up in the south knows exactly what they have to do to make it through, and if you ever have questions ask them, they’ll tell you how. I thank god I grew up this way because I don’t really worry about what I’ll do if the world just crashes one day. Southern people can be some of the most helpful, hard working, and humble people you’ll ever meet 🫶
Being from the country makes you learn a lot. I’ve lived in both the city and the country and living in the country is not for the weak. And the biggest thing I truly hate is people saying that country people are racist. No we just want to be left alone and have our fun. What everyone else does is not our business and we respect all races of people. And living off the land will definitely teach you a lot. And the biggest thing it’s so peaceful out there! God bless and have a good day!
You are correct in a way. If you move from city life to country its very difficult. Myself born and raised in the country. So to me city life is extremely difficult and honestly nerve racking.
You are absolutely right about any racism in the country, we have been living together for a long time side by side. I am white and really country, some of my best running buddies are black. They are country boys too, and we would survive together.
PS: The honest truth is, ANYONE from ANY background, can learn how to survive in as a "country folk" if they are WILLING to put in the work. Learning how to plant your own crops is easy to do. The hard part is NOT the planting or harvesting your crops. It is the DAILY need to ensure they aren't being infecting with insects, or getting diseased, making sure there is enough water and nutrients in your soil to grow what you want to grow, knowing when you should plant your seeds as well as WHAT you should plant in general. Seeing how some regions grow better crops than others, you will be wasting a whole "season" trying to grow corn if your soil is better suited for beans or carrots. Make sure you keep at least 3-4 dogs, especially something small like a Jack Russell Terrier to let run free to keep away the snakes, rats, mice, birds, and other larger animals that might want to feed off your crops. Jack Russell for the small stuff, Beagle/Retriever to scare away foxes, opossums, or even rabbits and deer. And MAYBE something like a Doberman for a "true watch dog", or simply more aggressive animals like foxes can be if cornered. Hunting is up to YOU, but if you are WILLING to go hunting, make sure you know your gun safety and the proper gun to use. Fishing is SIMPLE, even if the act of unhooking the fish is too much you can find someone to help. CLEANING your fish is one of the most basic things to learn, as cooking with scales still attached can be annoying as hell. Possibly, but highly recommended you do NOT do. Just be sure that you KNOW these basic rules: 1) Be willing to put in the work. 2) Your neighbors are NOT JUST your friends, but your BIGGEST HELP! So you keep them close, even if that means putting in an extra 3 hours a day to help them. Because when YOU need an extra set of hands, they will be the first ones to help YOU WHEN YOU NEED IT! 3) Respect and manners will do more for you than money EVER will, and it costs NOTHING to give to someone else. 4) At the end of the day, when all is said and done, being able to sit back in a rocking chair, talking to your neighbors about what is going on in your lives and children's lives, while enjoying your home-grown watermelon or cantaloupe and drinking some iced tea ... Well, those will be the memories that you cherish the most and want your own children to enjoy as they grow up too. THAT is why so many "country folk" will remain "country folk" for generations. It is the memories of being a "close-knit communities" that you can't find anywhere else that you cherish more and more, as you can recall doing it at grandma's lap and watching your own grandchild sitting in your lap learning the same lessons in life that you learned.
😂 Trust me there's a lot of people willing or not who are incapable of learning to live off the land...I've seen it more than once. I grew up in a small Maine town on a dairy farm, hunting fishing etc...some folks don't even know what a cow looks like (100% no joke).
I live in Kentucky. This is the attitude of most country people, "I can take care of myself and my family, thank you very much." We eat good, drink good and try and take care of the ones in our community that need help. People that have lived in the city most of their lives would not believe how nice country people really are. I am sure a lot of people think that country people are racist and some are but most are not. My grandparents owned a farm next to a black farmer family, we all worked in the fields together and helped each other just like family. My grandfather kind of had the attitude that his neighbor was a good, hard working man and that was all he cared about. This was in the 1960's-1970's. Even at a young age I knew he was different than my family, he and his family were black and we were white. But it was kind of like the difference between someone being tall vs short it wasn't good or bad. Owen was his neighbor's name and he was a very kind man an I loved him like he was my grandfather until he passed away. When I was a kid he would give me money and ask if I would ride my bike to the town store and buy him a 7up and a Twinkie while he worked. He never gave me extra money for myself to get something and I would not have taken it if he had, it would have taken away from the fact that it was my honor to do something nice for such a nice man. That is how country people are, they judge you by what you do and who you are.
Hell yeah, this is what I grew up listenin to, Bocephus (Hank Jr's nickname), Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Glen Campbell, Charley Pride, all fantastic country artists...
IMO the story is city ppl don't mess with country folks. Country folks are self sufficient , grow their food in the garden, know how to hunt (15 million hunting licenses sold yearly so they are trained marksman and that's not counting the ones who just have guns and like to shoot but do not hunt), know how to fish (trot line) and know how to work together. If the economy fails, if a civil war breaks out, etc....the city ppl would have no idea how to survive and god help them if they try coming into the country trying to take from the county folk. PS: Fishing and running a trot line are very different lmao; as is noodling and calling a truly country person a redneck is considered a compliment.
I am a native Texan, raised in the country, my dad taught me how to grow my own okra , beans, cantaloupe, potatoes, how to fish and how to clean them, kill deer skin it and how to smoke or bbq it.So hell yes Country FolksWill Survive, make no mistake about it!!
Dude, that look on your face after she said "I bet he can survive..." almost made me spit water on my damn computer screen! LOL, that was priceless. Thanks for the laugh.
I grew up in the country, learned to hunt and fish from my grandpa and his brothers, but you gotta keep learning. Saw someone using a golf ball to skin a deer once and it blew my MIND.
I’m 48 and back in high school on the bus to our wrestling meet we would listen to 2Live Crew and on the way back it was Hank! Strange mixture back then, but I love all music!
I'll be 48 in October. Going on tour racing bmx in the summer, it was 2 live crew, nwa, Ice T, backed by Alabama, Hank, with some Black Sabbath and Metallica thrown in. The late 80s and early 90s were great!
As a dude that grew up in alabama we grew up hunting, fishing, and farming just for fun lol so yes us country Boys can survive and we also bleed red, white, and blue so if times get tough bring ur family down so we can feed and take care of yall we ask nothing in return ur presence on that day is all that would ever be needed
Glad y’all enjoyed it!!! Hanks music is part of southern culture and there is room enough for everybody 👍😎. It’s not white, black, or any other color. It’s rural country people of all colors sharing a common culture in the south 🎸 Just some bonus Info….it was a old black man who taught Hank Williams SR to play guitar and sing the blues. Hank was highly influenced by black blues men. Hank SR began mixing a blues sound with the “ hillbilly” music of the time and its really the birth of what we now call country music. Of course later his son Hank JR was also highly influenced by the black musicians of the time like fats domino, lightning Hopkins, and so on. So this music is something ALL colors of southern people can claim as their heritage 👍. But If it wasn’t for the black southern blues men of the 20s 30s 40s we would not have country music as we now know it. Thank you 🙏 for the fantastic music your black ancestors gave us !
Well said! I know nothing about city life nor do I want to... I'm in western NC and have friends of all colors that hunt and fish and plant! We CAN survive!
Little towns all around this land,from northern P.A.in the big woods grown up on Hank SR.JR.and many others.Was a HeeHaw fans since a child ,55 yrs old and the country music now a days sucks.
Born and raised in the country, I can't remember not having a garden, fishing , hunting , cutting firewood for the winter. It's a part of life. I know that BJ would dig it out here. No stop lights, heavy traffic ,crowded sidewalks only once a year during the fall festival and only sounds of nature and your music playing. Wish you were here guys. GB ya brother and sister. I love your reactions. Keep it going.
Well, for me, it was the Rocky Mountains of North Idaho and I had that grandfather that taught me how to live off the land. When your isolated(and some people just a few miles outside town limits didn't have electricity or running water) you had to be self sufficient. I spent many a day hiking or motorbiking deep into the woods, just drinking from streams and eating whatever was edible and growing wild. Town had one store with two gas pumps, a bar, a church, and a post office. We were 23 miles(through a mountain pass) from the next town with a bit more and 80 miles away from a city of any size.
BJ, I'm not even gonna lie, you made me laugh out loud. When you said you liked the line "Mine taught me to teach of the land and his taught him to be an indigenous man." I love it. Except it's "Mine taught me to live off the land and his taught him to be a business man." That was awesome. But seriously, that was a great reaction. And we love you guys! Thanks for this.
speaking as a person who grew up in the mountains (NOT a country boy), living off the land is just something that's normal...you all would learn to survive after a few weeks and the need for food and shelter motivates you to do what you didn't think you could do.
It's a song about being self sufficient and living a simple life. It's also a clapback aimed at the people who look down on country folk as (insert any number of derogatory terms). My Grandma lived through the Great Depression on an Illinois farm and they survived because they could grow their own food, raise and butcher their own animals and make their own clothes, and neighbors helped each other. On the other hand, those living in the cities did poorly when the facade built up around them crumbled to the ground.
Thank you! Love your reaction.I grew up in the city as a kid, then my parents retired and moved us to the country where I had a whole new life. I spent a number of year’s working as a cowboy for a livening throughout the Midwest. What a hard working great life. Happiness is between you ears. Good people are good people no matter where they live.
Country folks might be the only ones who can survive the next lockdown and artificial food shortages coming up. Hank Jr. (Bocephus) has an outstanding number of good songs in his repertoire. You should check out "Dinosaur."
This is why country folk are such a threat to the government. We’re rural, more spread out, self reliant and self sufficient. City folk are packed in together like sardines and some are self reliant but a lot aren’t.
wow!!! you guys are covering the spectrum of music today!!!! Blues, Rock, Metal, Country, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got to see Bocephus in concert and he just sat with his guitar and played this song while the band took a break..It Was AWESOME!!!
I’m from a very rural, mountain town and we played this song on our high school basketball warmup playlist. I think the newer generations have stopped playing it but we played it for years. Other teams would get shook af when we came out to this and started howling (huskies were our mascots).
Very good song with artful storytelling. The part about his friend dying was a reference to his closest friend Steve McNair who was found gunned down in his condo. Hank Jr. Is a genius artist ^_^ love his music and y'alls reaction ^_^ keep it up! Much love!
Remember this. County doesn't just mean the south. I'm a born country boy from New Jersey and now live north Of Houston Texas but I was raised in the country in New Jersey first. Its an American thing. ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Let me just ring in here and clear this up. I was a paramedic working in Katrina. When our government failed and FEMA failed...it was the people in Louisiana that we were there to help and rescue who in turn fed my crews because they knew how to live off of the land. We worked all day and all night. We slept on the ground and in the trucks and the fishermen there fed us because our government did not for weeks. There are many things that you all do not know about Katrina...and what really happened in there. However, i can assure you of this....when it gets as bad as it can get...disaster, war, whatever....its damn sure going to be the folks who know how to live off of the land who are going to survive...no question.
Born and raised in west Virginia i can relate to this song. I tell my daughter I may may not be good with computers but when that shit crashes I know how to hunt and fish so ill be ok.
Could be the tennessee river he has a cabin real close to Paris Landing in Buchanon tennessee. I see him out and about all the time. He is a real laid back dude
This brings back child hood memories when he was talking bout fishing and plowing. makes me think of going fishing with my dad even though i dont eat fish still had a great time and when we use to have a garden when i was a child, and we didn't have a plow we had shovels hoes and spades then we got a tiller and that would be the best vegetables and fruits
A classic! This song will live as long as the planet earth lives. He actually rewrote the lyrics to this song after 9/11 and called it America Can Survive. I would suggest checking that out. Digging your reactions so far.
This is a great song. I totally identify with most of the lyrics. However what we need to remember that we are all in this together no matter what and we need to help each other survive by sharing what we know. We are all God's children
Typing this BEFORE I watch the video... I found you guys, because of Tom MacDonald... Then... I saw this video... What?!!! I can't wait to hear what you say! This song is the single most badass country song that was ever sung! I love this song, so much, I hope you do too!
I can say that I can skin a buck, run a trot line, make my own whiskey...all that stuff, and I have lived in the city my whole life. We saved over $1,000 from me growing a garden just this year. We are seriously considering moving to the country on about 25 acres of land. By the time I was about 12, I was hunting, fishing, crabbing, splitting wood, growing a garden...all of it. I was born in the city, but I was raised as a country boy...and that's all I'll ever be. Great video.
Damn. When you said you know people that lost their lives over $2 and a lighter I lost it. When I was in Fresno for school, I joined an outreach group and met way too many kids that lost a parent to armed robberies where the attackers only got a few dollars and cigarets or lottery tickets. God help us, please! Why is Unity so hard?
its easy just dont hit the intestines or you will spoil the meat. my grandpa even taught me what bugs i can eat. he was para rescue in vietnam. he was a amazing man. RIP grandpa
You are right, I don't know how many times people think it is trout line. We call them set line instead of trotline. They are the same thing just regional differences. 👍
@@mattbecham597 It's still a trotline, a set line or trawl line (all three are accurate).🤣 Most people would know what you are talking about if you call it a trout line.👍
that's why in my head I sing the line as trap line,never ran a trot line in my life,not big enough rivers around here I guess,but I have ran a trap line for pelts,hard work
@@wgj4everlong426 Trapping is one thing I've never done. I've known a couple trappers and they worked way harder than I would want to, even though I like fur (socially unacceptable in today's times. 😳🤣)
I am country my family from Mississippi and Alabama. Southern tradition we garden, fish, and hunt. We still can tomatoes and much more in mason jars, We are raised and raise our children with survival skills. If the store shelves go empty city folk won't do so well but we country folk will survive. Hank made us all even more proud to be country.
you guys are great - I enjoyed watching you - I grew up in the swamps of Florida and this song sums it up. We would swim in gator infested lakes and sleep in sleeping bags in the weeds next to the lake (or river) when we went camping (which was a lot). Never worried about snakes or bugs as it was just a normal thing to do. Thanks again for your video, it made me smile...
Lol I like your video Hank said his Grandpa taught him how to live off the land and his buddy's grandpa taught him how to be a businessman. God bless you both thanks for playing that song this is my first time watching you guys and you picked a great song I am country boy and best believe we can take care of ourselves most respect thank you.
My Grandpa was from central Illinois and he taught me to fish with a stick and a bit of string, he also taught me to hunt and skin(squirrel, rabbit, and coyote) I also took ap anatomy in highschool which had me dissect cow hearts and eyes , as well as cats and mice. I was the fastest at skinning because I had been taught how to skin an animal.
Hey for all you who hear the line homemade wine. Do you know you can make wine from fruit juice in 30 days? No federal tax. Just juice, SUGAR, YEAST AND TIME. So open up to learning from anyone. Search youtube if you want to blow your mind on alcohol making in your house for very little cash.
Whiskey bent and hellbound is another good one. I absolutely adore the different genres yall explore. True music people if I've ever seen them. So glad I subscribed.
I am a country girl and love me some country music. We can grow our own food and catching our food and hunting. We can survive better than a city folk. I was raised on the bayou in Louisiana. Even the girls know how to skin a buck.
I grew up in a small town in Maine, I grew up on a dairy farm, hunting, fishing, camping, tracking game etc. I've enjoyed teaching my step kids and now their little sisters to shoot, identify animals, how to plant and grow your own food...
You two are such a lovely young couple, don't forget how important you are to each other ❤️ it makes my heart swell seeing young people/couples who are in love. I love watching your reactions because you react together.❤️
New subscriber today! You two are awesome AF! I live in the country in SE Indiana with very little troubles but I work in downtown Cincinnati. Some days I feel like my head is on a swivel with some of the odd stuff I see going on!
Hey guys, I enjoy watching your reactions to some of these classics. One thing I did notice though...He said, "My grandpa taught me how to live of the land and his taught him to be a bus-i-ness man". This is referring to Hank's grandpa teaching him all of these things, as his own father, Hank Sr., who was also a country music star died at 29 when Hank Jr was only 3. This "his taught him to be a bus-i-ness man is referring to the friend in New York City. That friends grandpa taught him how to be a business man. So that's what that's all about. Hope that helps you make a little more sense of those lyrics. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them.
Facts- and love me some Hank Jr.! The movie of his life called “Living Proof” is fantastic too! He fell from a mountain and busted his face so badly that the Dr.s had to literally re-build it like a puzzle- Literal miracle he made it! 💜💙👍
Hank Williams Jr., had a near-fatal accident in 1975 that changed the entire course of his life and career. The country icon went climbing on Ajax Peak in Beaverhead County, Mont., on Aug. 8, 1975. The snow beneath him collapsed, and Williams fell 440 feet, fracturing his skull in multiple places. Williams was not expected to live, and his recovery took multiple surgeries over two years
I know it's true, many of my own ancestors did it. Cool tune by Hank strumming that Gibson acoustic guitar. So down to earth. I used to have many uncles like Hank Jr. "Shoot em' with my old .45..." Oh Yeah. Naked lady icon on his headstock of the guitar and Gucci glasses on. Hit him, Hank!
thank goodness for my parents raising me on a small farm-growing our own food, raising our own food, giving me skills i appreciate to this day. i live in town yet i have those skills.
I grew up rough, heated with wood stoves , no furnace,, cooked on a wood cookstoves until about 14, got a range, and damn if dad didn't build a still on top of it, cut and split wood all summer, if we didnt grow it, raise it, hunt it, we didnt eat it. Dad was smart, and actually had a little money, not rich, not poor.Told me " I can't give you much, but I can teach you how to survive. Time's comin' that'll be best thing you got" He did. It is.

"Family Tradition" by Hank Williams Jr is another good one you should react too!!
Its a good one but i gotta stay away from that song if im drinking haha get a lil wild
lets do hank williams as well
Family Tradition is a must.
One of the best conceived songs ever written.
YES ABSOLUTELY
The name of the Barge is Miss Audrey, the captain's respect to the name of Hanks Mom; Hank Sr (his father) would refer to her as Miss Audrey. That is a smaller portion of the Mississippi River, up-river.
I was so lucky to grow up in the country. Daddy taught all of us to hunt, even us girls. Mom could grow anything in the garden and we had a BIG one. (Think 1 acre of veggies each year) and Grandma taught us how to home can and store EVERYTHING. The veggies, meats, and the basics of how to smoke fish. When Covid hit hard in 2020 and the stores weren't always stocked full, no one in our neighborhood went without. We made sure of that. We shared vegetables, canned meats from the year before, even eggs from the chickens and milk from our goats. This past spring I helped 4 families in our neighborhood start their own small, family sized gardens.
I’m from Texas and grew up the same way. And I don’t care what they’re making in a five star restaurant, country cooking passed from generation to generation will always take the blue ribbon. Before anyone argues with me, I know old women who never worked in a restaurant but their kitchen gets callers from out of state
Bless ya'll.
The line should go.....country folk can survive.
No matter what race or color our visitors are.. We take care of our kinfolk. And if you are guests with no harm intended. You are welcome to share with us what we have. Love.
“You can’t starve us out, you can’t make us run…”
I always thought it was "stomp us out", like stomping out a fire...I like it both ways!
@@johnmosley9376 It's starve us out.
Cause we're them ol' boys raised on shotguns . We say grace , and we say ma'am. If you ain't into that we DON'T GIVE A DAM .🇺🇸🍻
@@johnmosley9376 ~ The line comes from an old saying, "You can't stop a sow and you can't make her run". I think he is saying 'stomp us out' also. That is the way I have always heard it.
@@damesaphira9790 He's not. There are lyrics. It is "You can't starve us out and you can't make us run..."
Country girl here from SC. Born and raised. Enjoyed this reaction bc this is one of my fav. 💯
😂😂😂"my grandfather taught me to live off the land and his taught him to be a business man" lol I love y'all too 🗣️CREEKSQUAD👏💕🎶
🤣🤣
I heard..( don't know if true) that Hank jr really did have a good friend in NY that was murdered in a robbery.
@@creinicke1000 I heard that too. I'm like you don't know if it's true or a urban legend ☺️🎶
Great to see somebody else from Mississippi✌
@@creinicke1000 It is true I have been to several Hank concerts and Hank says his friends name and has talked about him at his shows.
I used to live in Atlanta. I moved to Dahlonega, Georgia up in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. I’ll NEVER leave this for the city.
He's got a song called If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie, it's one of my favorites. He's just a classic, grew up on his music! Great reaction!
Oh that’s a great one!
just send me to hell or new york city, its all the same to me.
We grew up learning how to hunt and fish, so we would ALWAYS have a food source no matter what, learned about gardening from our grandparents, and made our own fun growing up. Every person who grew up in the south knows exactly what they have to do to make it through, and if you ever have questions ask them, they’ll tell you how.
I thank god I grew up this way because I don’t really worry about what I’ll do if the world just crashes one day. Southern people can be some of the most helpful, hard working, and humble people you’ll ever meet 🫶
Hell yeah! My uncle made sure I knew who Waylon, Willie, Hank Jr, and Merle were from a young age. Love that you guys are doing this!
Being from the country makes you learn a lot. I’ve lived in both the city and the country and living in the country is not for the weak. And the biggest thing I truly hate is people saying that country people are racist. No we just want to be left alone and have our fun. What everyone else does is not our business and we respect all races of people. And living off the land will definitely teach you a lot. And the biggest thing it’s so peaceful out there! God bless and have a good day!
You are correct in a way. If you move from city life to country its very difficult. Myself born and raised in the country. So to me city life is extremely difficult and honestly nerve racking.
You are absolutely right about any racism in the country, we have been living together for a long time side by side. I am white and really country, some of my best running buddies are black. They are country boys too, and we would survive together.
PS: The honest truth is, ANYONE from ANY background, can learn how to survive in as a "country folk" if they are WILLING to put in the work. Learning how to plant your own crops is easy to do. The hard part is NOT the planting or harvesting your crops. It is the DAILY need to ensure they aren't being infecting with insects, or getting diseased, making sure there is enough water and nutrients in your soil to grow what you want to grow, knowing when you should plant your seeds as well as WHAT you should plant in general. Seeing how some regions grow better crops than others, you will be wasting a whole "season" trying to grow corn if your soil is better suited for beans or carrots.
Make sure you keep at least 3-4 dogs, especially something small like a Jack Russell Terrier to let run free to keep away the snakes, rats, mice, birds, and other larger animals that might want to feed off your crops. Jack Russell for the small stuff, Beagle/Retriever to scare away foxes, opossums, or even rabbits and deer. And MAYBE something like a Doberman for a "true watch dog", or simply more aggressive animals like foxes can be if cornered.
Hunting is up to YOU, but if you are WILLING to go hunting, make sure you know your gun safety and the proper gun to use. Fishing is SIMPLE, even if the act of unhooking the fish is too much you can find someone to help. CLEANING your fish is one of the most basic things to learn, as cooking with scales still attached can be annoying as hell. Possibly, but highly recommended you do NOT do.
Just be sure that you KNOW these basic rules:
1) Be willing to put in the work.
2) Your neighbors are NOT JUST your friends, but your BIGGEST HELP! So you keep them close, even if that means putting in an extra 3 hours a day to help them. Because when YOU need an extra set of hands, they will be the first ones to help YOU WHEN YOU NEED IT!
3) Respect and manners will do more for you than money EVER will, and it costs NOTHING to give to someone else.
4) At the end of the day, when all is said and done, being able to sit back in a rocking chair, talking to your neighbors about what is going on in your lives and children's lives, while enjoying your home-grown watermelon or cantaloupe and drinking some iced tea ... Well, those will be the memories that you cherish the most and want your own children to enjoy as they grow up too.
THAT is why so many "country folk" will remain "country folk" for generations. It is the memories of being a "close-knit communities" that you can't find anywhere else that you cherish more and more, as you can recall doing it at grandma's lap and watching your own grandchild sitting in your lap learning the same lessons in life that you learned.
You would die in the first week. 🤣🤣
Exactly right!
😂 Trust me there's a lot of people willing or not who are incapable of learning to live off the land...I've seen it more than once. I grew up in a small Maine town on a dairy farm, hunting fishing etc...some folks don't even know what a cow looks like (100% no joke).
@@benjaminwalker4863 How long would YOU last once you ran out of gas and bullets?
I live in Kentucky. This is the attitude of most country people, "I can take care of myself and my family, thank you very much." We eat good, drink good and try and take care of the ones in our community that need help.
People that have lived in the city most of their lives would not believe how nice country people really are. I am sure a lot of people think that country people are racist and some are but most are not. My grandparents owned a farm next to a black farmer family, we all worked in the fields together and helped each other just like family.
My grandfather kind of had the attitude that his neighbor was a good, hard working man and that was all he cared about. This was in the 1960's-1970's. Even at a young age I knew he was different than my family, he and his family were black and we were white. But it was kind of like the difference between someone being tall vs short it wasn't good or bad.
Owen was his neighbor's name and he was a very kind man an I loved him like he was my grandfather until he passed away. When I was a kid he would give me money and ask if I would ride my bike to the town store and buy him a 7up and a Twinkie while he worked. He never gave me extra money for myself to get something and I would not have taken it if he had, it would have taken away from the fact that it was my honor to do something nice for such a nice man. That is how country people are, they judge you by what you do and who you are.
Hell yeah, this is what I grew up listenin to, Bocephus (Hank Jr's nickname), Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Glen Campbell, Charley Pride, all fantastic country artists...
IMO the story is city ppl don't mess with country folks. Country folks are self sufficient , grow their food in the garden, know how to hunt (15 million hunting licenses sold yearly so they are trained marksman and that's not counting the ones who just have guns and like to shoot but do not hunt), know how to fish (trot line) and know how to work together. If the economy fails, if a civil war breaks out, etc....the city ppl would have no idea how to survive and god help them if they try coming into the country trying to take from the county folk. PS: Fishing and running a trot line are very different lmao; as is noodling and calling a truly country person a redneck is considered a compliment.
That isn’t a song. It’s an Anthem for a whole lifestyle!!! First video I’ve watched by you and you are a lot of fun!!!✌️✌️✌️
I am a native Texan, raised in the country, my dad taught me how to grow my own okra , beans, cantaloupe, potatoes, how to fish and how to clean them, kill deer skin it and how to smoke or bbq it.So hell yes Country FolksWill Survive, make no mistake about it!!
Dude, that look on your face after she said "I bet he can survive..." almost made me spit water on my damn computer screen! LOL, that was priceless. Thanks for the laugh.
I grew up in the country, learned to hunt and fish from my grandpa and his brothers, but you gotta keep learning. Saw someone using a golf ball to skin a deer once and it blew my MIND.
I’m 48 and back in high school on the bus to our wrestling meet we would listen to 2Live Crew and on the way back it was Hank! Strange mixture back then, but I love all music!
I'll be 48 in October. Going on tour racing bmx in the summer, it was 2 live crew, nwa, Ice T, backed by Alabama, Hank, with some Black Sabbath and Metallica thrown in. The late 80s and early 90s were great!
50 and all of the football game bus trips were like that for me as well.
Great memories.
As a dude that grew up in alabama we grew up hunting, fishing, and farming just for fun lol so yes us country Boys can survive and we also bleed red, white, and blue so if times get tough bring ur family down so we can feed and take care of yall we ask nothing in return ur presence on that day is all that would ever be needed
Glad y’all enjoyed it!!! Hanks music is part of southern culture and there is room enough for everybody 👍😎. It’s not white, black, or any other color. It’s rural country people of all colors sharing a common culture in the south 🎸
Just some bonus Info….it was a old black man who taught Hank Williams SR to play guitar and sing the blues. Hank was highly influenced by black blues men. Hank SR began mixing a blues sound with the “ hillbilly” music of the time and its really the birth of what we now call country music. Of course later his son Hank JR was also highly influenced by the black musicians of the time like fats domino, lightning Hopkins, and so on. So this music is something ALL colors of southern people can claim as their heritage 👍. But If it wasn’t for the black southern blues men of the 20s 30s 40s we would not have country music as we now know it. Thank you 🙏 for the fantastic music your black ancestors gave us !
Amen
Well said! I know nothing about city life nor do I want to... I'm in western NC and have friends of all colors that hunt and fish and plant! We CAN survive!
@@timgrant8729 hi neighbor! Also in NC near Winston-Salem.
@@timgrant8729 well howdy from Tn
Little towns all around this land,from northern P.A.in the big woods grown up on Hank SR.JR.and many others.Was a HeeHaw fans since a child ,55 yrs old and the country music now a days sucks.
Born and raised in the country, I can't remember not having a garden, fishing , hunting , cutting firewood for the winter. It's a part of life. I know that BJ would dig it out here. No stop lights, heavy traffic ,crowded sidewalks only once a year during the fall festival and only sounds of nature and your music playing. Wish you were here guys. GB ya brother and sister. I love your reactions. Keep it going.
Asia, you cracking me up girl. “You can’t skin a buck. Everybody going down with you, too.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Came to say the same thing! lol
Lmao…I learned at about 10!
Well, for me, it was the Rocky Mountains of North Idaho and I had that grandfather that taught me how to live off the land. When your isolated(and some people just a few miles outside town limits didn't have electricity or running water) you had to be self sufficient. I spent many a day hiking or motorbiking deep into the woods, just drinking from streams and eating whatever was edible and growing wild. Town had one store with two gas pumps, a bar, a church, and a post office. We were 23 miles(through a mountain pass) from the next town with a bit more and 80 miles away from a city of any size.
BJ, I'm not even gonna lie, you made me laugh out loud. When you said you liked the line "Mine taught me to teach of the land and his taught him to be an indigenous man." I love it. Except it's "Mine taught me to live off the land and his taught him to be a business man." That was awesome. But seriously, that was a great reaction. And we love you guys! Thanks for this.
Ooooohh!!! Gotcha. From a indigenous to a business man.
@@AsiaandBJ it was too cute. Love you guys much. And see you in your live!
speaking as a person who grew up in the mountains (NOT a country boy), living off the land is just something that's normal...you all would learn to survive after a few weeks and the need for food and shelter motivates you to do what you didn't think you could do.
This song was like a verse out of the Bible when I was growing up. I’m still a believer.
It's a song about being self sufficient and living a simple life. It's also a clapback aimed at the people who look down on country folk as (insert any number of derogatory terms). My Grandma lived through the Great Depression on an Illinois farm and they survived because they could grow their own food, raise and butcher their own animals and make their own clothes, and neighbors helped each other. On the other hand, those living in the cities did poorly when the facade built up around them crumbled to the ground.
One of the greatest country songs, greatest reaction yet, thanks for doing this.
Thank you! Love your reaction.I grew up in the city as a kid, then my parents retired and moved us to the country where I had a whole new life. I spent a number of year’s working as a cowboy for a livening throughout the Midwest. What a hard working great life. Happiness is between you ears. Good people are good people no matter where they live.
Country folks might be the only ones who can survive the next lockdown and artificial food shortages coming up.
Hank Jr. (Bocephus) has an outstanding number of good songs in his repertoire. You should check out "Dinosaur."
Dinosaur - fav song of all time
And all them city folk better think twice and get right with the Lord before coming to the country and trying to take our shit ..
This is why country folk are such a threat to the government. We’re rural, more spread out, self reliant and self sufficient. City folk are packed in together like sardines and some are self reliant but a lot aren’t.
Remember to help people boys
I love this !
Thank you so much for picking this song
You are both beautiful people
wow!!! you guys are covering the spectrum of music today!!!! Blues, Rock, Metal, Country, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got to see Bocephus in concert and he just sat with his guitar and played this song while the band took a break..It Was AWESOME!!!
I’m from a very rural, mountain town and we played this song on our high school basketball warmup playlist. I think the newer generations have stopped playing it but we played it for years. Other teams would get shook af when we came out to this and started howling (huskies were our mascots).
As an official country girl, married to a country boy, we'll be alright.
Very good song with artful storytelling. The part about his friend dying was a reference to his closest friend Steve McNair who was found gunned down in his condo.
Hank Jr. Is a genius artist ^_^ love his music and y'alls reaction ^_^ keep it up! Much love!
Great tune. It's right up there with family tradition.🤘
Remember this. County doesn't just mean the south. I'm a born country boy from New Jersey and now live north Of Houston Texas but I was raised in the country in New Jersey first. Its an American thing. ❤️🙏🇺🇸
I’m so happy to see you guys! I needed a smile today! I am a country gal from Tennessee ❤️🇺🇸
I am really inspired seeing young folks listening to this music...i grew up listening to this in 1981-1982 when I was 14 plus
As Trace Adkins says "We all have a hillbilly bone down deep inside" and it is true. Check out the song Hillbilly bone
Let me just ring in here and clear this up. I was a paramedic working in Katrina. When our government failed and FEMA failed...it was the people in Louisiana that we were there to help and rescue who in turn fed my crews because they knew how to live off of the land. We worked all day and all night. We slept on the ground and in the trucks and the fishermen there fed us because our government did not for weeks. There are many things that you all do not know about Katrina...and what really happened in there. However, i can assure you of this....when it gets as bad as it can get...disaster, war, whatever....its damn sure going to be the folks who know how to live off of the land who are going to survive...no question.
Yall are hilarious lol I've actually seen Hank Jr 5 times live in concert.
Seen him 4 times, 3 in Memphis at the Mid South Coliseum and once in Paris, TN at the General Store.
It's not wide enough to be the Mississippi River so my guess is it's The Cumberland River in Nashville.
Born and raised in west Virginia i can relate to this song. I tell my daughter I may may not be good with computers but when that shit crashes I know how to hunt and fish so ill be ok.
I love you both! I see ya'll grooving to the music.
You got "American" written all over you!
God bless you both!
Could be the tennessee river he has a cabin real close to Paris Landing in Buchanon tennessee. I see him out and about all the time. He is a real laid back dude
Just started watching yalls Channel but gotta say I love yalls energy! Here from Texas
This brings back child hood memories when he was talking bout fishing and plowing. makes me think of going fishing with my dad even though i dont eat fish still had a great time and when we use to have a garden when i was a child, and we didn't have a plow we had shovels hoes and spades then we got a tiller and that would be the best vegetables and fruits
A classic! This song will live as long as the planet earth lives. He actually rewrote the lyrics to this song after 9/11 and called it America Can Survive. I would suggest checking that out. Digging your reactions so far.
This is a great song. I totally identify with most of the lyrics. However what we need to remember that we are all in this together no matter what and we need to help each other survive by sharing what we know. We are all God's children
Typing this BEFORE I watch the video... I found you guys, because of Tom MacDonald... Then... I saw this video... What?!!! I can't wait to hear what you say! This song is the single most badass country song that was ever sung! I love this song, so much, I hope you do too!
Lived every lyric of this song and still doin it! If it goes to shit head to Tennessee I got yall fam!
I can say that I can skin a buck, run a trot line, make my own whiskey...all that stuff, and I have lived in the city my whole life. We saved over $1,000 from me growing a garden just this year. We are seriously considering moving to the country on about 25 acres of land. By the time I was about 12, I was hunting, fishing, crabbing, splitting wood, growing a garden...all of it. I was born in the city, but I was raised as a country boy...and that's all I'll ever be. Great video.
Simple Man by Charlie Daniels. I love that one. He tells it like it is.
Loving your channel and sharing it with everyone I know. It's awesome seeing REAL people again on this platform!
Damn. When you said you know people that lost their lives over $2 and a lighter I lost it. When I was in Fresno for school, I joined an outreach group and met way too many kids that lost a parent to armed robberies where the attackers only got a few dollars and cigarets or lottery tickets. God help us, please! Why is Unity so hard?
Its called self sufficiency . They govern themselves for the most part .
its easy just dont hit the intestines or you will spoil the meat. my grandpa even taught me what bugs i can eat. he was para rescue in vietnam. he was a amazing man. RIP grandpa
When Hank says "I can run a trot line", 99% of folks hear "trout line".
You are right, I don't know how many times people think it is trout line. We call them set line instead of trotline. They are the same thing just regional differences. 👍
@@mattbecham597 It's still a trotline, a set line or trawl line (all three are accurate).🤣 Most people would know what you are talking about if you call it a trout line.👍
@@mattbecham597 I thought you may have been but you can never be too sure. Thanks for replying. 😊
that's why in my head I sing the line as trap line,never ran a trot line in my life,not big enough rivers around here I guess,but I have ran a trap line for pelts,hard work
@@wgj4everlong426 Trapping is one thing I've never done. I've known a couple trappers and they worked way harder than I would want to, even though I like fur (socially unacceptable in today's times. 😳🤣)

Want to hear some guitar pickin…. Roy Clark and Glen Campbell can Shred the guitar!!!
Yessir! Glen Campbell, Roy Clark and Jerry Reed. Blistering on the guitar!
What's so scary is the times we're currently living In is about to become actual reality to the song.
This song is so true! I’m a country girl forever! We grew our gardens and went hunting. It’s hard work but, very fullfilling.
Just found your channel and enjoy it
Watching from Plymouth Michigan
I am country my family from Mississippi and Alabama. Southern tradition we garden, fish, and hunt. We still can tomatoes and much more in mason jars, We are raised and raise our children with survival skills. If the store shelves go empty city folk won't do so well but we country folk will survive. Hank made us all even more proud to be country.
I'm a proud country boy from the Smoky mountains of East Tennessee. we've been taught and know how to survive
you guys are great - I enjoyed watching you - I grew up in the swamps of Florida and this song sums it up. We would swim in gator infested lakes and sleep in sleeping bags in the weeds next to the lake (or river) when we went camping (which was a lot). Never worried about snakes or bugs as it was just a normal thing to do. Thanks again for your video, it made me smile...
I found y’all on Tik tok so happy I found you on here awesome reacts guys love it!!!
Lol I like your video Hank said his Grandpa taught him how to live off the land and his buddy's grandpa taught him how to be a businessman. God bless you both thanks for playing that song this is my first time watching you guys and you picked a great song I am country boy and best believe we can take care of ourselves most respect thank you.
My Grandpa was from central Illinois and he taught me to fish with a stick and a bit of string, he also taught me to hunt and skin(squirrel, rabbit, and coyote) I also took ap anatomy in highschool which had me dissect cow hearts and eyes , as well as cats and mice. I was the fastest at skinning because I had been taught how to skin an animal.
Love the braves hat...BTW, go dawgs. It'd really refreshing to see someone who is open minded to listen to all genres. Ty both for Being....REAL.
Hey for all you who hear the line homemade wine. Do you know you can make wine from fruit juice in 30 days? No federal tax. Just juice, SUGAR, YEAST AND TIME. So open up to learning from anyone. Search youtube if you want to blow your mind on alcohol making in your house for very little cash.
Whiskey bent and hellbound is another good one. I absolutely adore the different genres yall explore. True music people if I've ever seen them. So glad I subscribed.
I am a country girl and love me some country music. We can grow our own food and catching our food and hunting. We can survive better than a city folk. I was raised on the bayou in Louisiana. Even the girls know how to skin a buck.
If you want to do the country life, It’s pretty good here in Montana. Love you two God Bless you.
He is the only artist in history to have 9 albums in the top 100 at the same time. He's amazing
I grew up in a small town in Maine, I grew up on a dairy farm, hunting, fishing, camping, tracking game etc. I've enjoyed teaching my step kids and now their little sisters to shoot, identify animals, how to plant and grow your own food...
You two are such a lovely young couple, don't forget how important you are to each other ❤️ it makes my heart swell seeing young people/couples who are in love. I love watching your reactions because you react together.❤️
New subscriber today! You two are awesome AF! I live in the country in SE Indiana with very little troubles but I work in downtown Cincinnati. Some days I feel like my head is on a swivel with some of the odd stuff I see going on!
Hey guys, I enjoy watching your reactions to some of these classics. One thing I did notice though...He said, "My grandpa taught me how to live of the land and his taught him to be a bus-i-ness man". This is referring to Hank's grandpa teaching him all of these things, as his own father, Hank Sr., who was also a country music star died at 29 when Hank Jr was only 3. This "his taught him to be a bus-i-ness man is referring to the friend in New York City. That friends grandpa taught him how to be a business man. So that's what that's all about. Hope that helps you make a little more sense of those lyrics. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them.
Yall keep a smile on my face. keep up the good work
I love this so much. This will help bring us all together.
Facts- and love me some Hank Jr.! The movie of his life called “Living Proof” is fantastic too! He fell from a mountain and busted his face so badly that the Dr.s had to literally re-build it like a puzzle- Literal miracle he made it! 💜💙👍
This song was written in 12 minutes while he was bass fishing on Kentucky Lake . His favorite place to fish .
Hank Williams Jr., had a near-fatal accident in 1975 that changed the entire course of his life and career.
The country icon went climbing on Ajax Peak in Beaverhead County, Mont., on Aug. 8, 1975. The snow beneath him collapsed, and Williams fell 440 feet, fracturing his skull in multiple places. Williams was not expected to live, and his recovery took multiple surgeries over two years
stumbled onto your channel and BJ commentary is great AAAAnnnd Asia is so damn beautiful I have to keep watching
I know it's true, many of my own ancestors did it. Cool tune by Hank strumming that Gibson acoustic guitar. So down to earth. I used to have many uncles like Hank Jr. "Shoot em' with my old .45..." Oh Yeah. Naked lady icon on his headstock of the guitar and Gucci glasses on. Hit him, Hank!
thank goodness for my parents raising me on a small farm-growing our own food, raising our own food, giving me skills i appreciate to this day. i live in town yet i have those skills.
So cute how homey is like “yeah I’ll learn how to do it and get my supplies for half price at Walmart!!!” ❤️
I grew up rough, heated with wood stoves , no furnace,, cooked on a wood cookstoves until about 14, got a range, and damn if dad didn't build a still on top of it, cut and split wood all summer, if we didnt grow it, raise it, hunt it, we didnt eat it. Dad was smart, and actually had a little money, not rich, not poor.Told me " I can't give you much, but I can teach you how to survive. Time's comin' that'll be best thing you got" He did. It is.
