If you can't stand on your front porch naked, your neighbors are too close...
😂😂😂
Maybe they just need to look away. 😂😂
We told our realtor, "Non-negotiable: we want to be able to run around the outside of our house naked without any one seeing us."
She fulfilled the assignment!
how about standing on your front porch because your neighbors are too close?
👍
Remember when your word or a handshake was your bond? The almost lost values of America.
A handshake can tell a lot about a man ! If its like shaking a dish rag - don't trust him - If its a solid grip - He's worth his word ! and none of that Bro Hug BS !!
@@southerntractorworx11 Thank you. Men in my family. Dad, uncles, grandfathers all gone now. You triggered some great memories. Grandpa was in WW1, Uncle fought in the 3 greatest battles of WW2 and survived, dad served during Korea, husband & many friends in Nam. May they all RIP.
Born in '61, my dad taught me honor and integrity. The U.S. Army solidified that. MY word, when given, is backed by my honor, integrity, character, dependability, and justice. so much for lying politicians who who have no HONOR.
@@bruceh.7351 Thank you and your family for their service, and our freedom. 🇺🇸 Integrity, honor, morality, character. dependability, and the meaning of justice all need taught again!
I tell my boys that daily 💪😎 don't ever shake on a bet. You will have to deliver no matter what
The fastest way to make me mad is to tell me you don't like what I'm doing on MY property.
That's when it's time to show them your gun collection.
Yay! My family are from Timberlake, South Dakota! We would love to see him your gun collection and go deer 🦌 or duck hunting!
My only complaint is when you hurt animals or humans unnecessarily, other than that I couldn’t care about what you do on YOUR property.
@@frenchpotato2852 keep your complaints to yourself and everything be fine
I was here first this is my piece of dirt, your ramblin don't rattle me
You forgot to tell city people if they buy land next to a farm DO NOT complain about the smell.
Or the flies or the dust at harvest.
They probably bought a house by the airport and then complained about the airplanes
Or the field mice invading the house before winter😂.
@@EssentialTam33 Yes. Lol
I get that here in So Cal. Rural area. We used to raise pigs and nieghbors complained on the smell. Our cops would tell them to move😂
And don't bother calling the cops if you hear a gunfire they'll tell you get used to it😅
Had a pair of older laddies move across the mile one spring and lost their minds once deer season started, if your scared of guns why would you move out here in the sticks? They left the next spring and not a single person in a 2 mile radius shed a tear.
My neighbor spends more on ammo for his AK47 in a week than it would cost to buy 5 suppressors. Not much getting used to him.
@@DoubleplusUngoodthinkful
Ask if you can join them. It's fun.
God bless you!
Once I figure out where the gun fire was coming from, l would know who could give me lessons on how to fire my nice shiny new 🔫 gun!
@@DoubleplusUngoodthinkfulthat’s the guy you need to be friends with (for later)
I love that: “Neighbor is a verb, not a noun.” Awesome philosophy!
My dad always told me, " Good neighbors are worth their weight in gold". Excuse me while I go outside and water a tree,
😆 LOL 😆!
YES! When we were shopping for land, the first thing we wanted to know about was what the neighbours were like!
The 1st thing I learned was that most country people are always willing to help, I have the best neighbor, when I first moved in before he even knew my name he plowed the snow off my driveway at the crack of dawn!! And when I tried to give him money for it, he said "I do it for all my neighbors and you happen to be one" I never forgot that feeling. From that day forward there was Nothing I wouldn't do for him or his family!! Over the last 15 years he has become my best friend!! Be Kind, Be Respectful and You Will Be Blessed!! Spread the Blessing!!
Peeing outside is a well earned privilege!
Done it for years
Marks your territory!
It kills the weeds and waters the lawn 😆
Nothing wrong with marking what yours. Good ol' freedom.
I thought I was the only one!
40 years in the country. I always tell city visitors that I hear gun fire all day but I’ve never locked my doors.
I tell my boys "You hear that? That's the sound of freedom!"
You are spot on correct Buddy. Thanks for letting folks know. We also don't like your dogs killing animals on our place. Another note, we are not the local drop off point for your no longer wanted cats and dogs! Though the bobcats, cougars and coyotes may disagree.
My buddy's neighbor's dog killed all my buddy's chickens. He was _pissed._
Loose and abandoned dogs are a big problem in the country and I understand it causes a lot of friction between neighbors.
SSS here
This ain't no HOA... AMEN!!!
No HOA in the city.
That's the suburbs. Suburbia will crush your soul.
H. O. A. - HIERARCHY OF ASSHOLES THEY TRIED TO MAKE MY FRIEND CUT DOWN A PAPER BARK BIRCH TREE IN HIS FRONT YARD BECAUSE IT WAS UNSITELY HE WON
THE LAWSUIT !
If we hadn’t gotten to point where almost every dime you own is wrapped up in your house, people wouldn’t be so paranoid about anything that could affect property values. That’s what HOAs are all about, protecting your home value from the actions of your neighbors. And to keep things at their maximum value, the HOA tries to have the whole neighborhood look HGTV-ready at all times.
You got THAT RIGHT LEAVE your PROBLEMS WHERE THEY WERE.
They ARE their problem.
No matter where you go.... There you are.
Monticello is absolutely stunning. Had the privilege and honor of witnessing a citizenship ceremony many years ago.
I vowed to get the heck of NJ when I'm ready to retire and move south. My wife said that southerners don't like people from the north. I told her we have it covered. Move in and ask where to get ammo.
Nothing beats southern hospitality
If you’re talking about the town in GA…..it sure is awesome! Friend used to have a hunting property there, had many good times! Welcome to the south😁
We do like northerners we just dont care much for the ones trying to change our way of doing things we all know we dont do things the same thats why we dont move there
@@bradnorth4405 That's one main thing I vowed. When we move, we move with the understanding that we are going to be the "outsiders." Therefore we'll be making the changes, not the "locals."
Damn, I'm going to miss that NJ pizza. LOL
@@prdamerican667 well then welcome neighbor
"Yankee" is still a cussword in the South because of all the one who refuse to assimilate when they move here. Thanks for being an exception!
Just like other nations shouldn't bring their problems to our countries. City folk shouldn't bring theirs to the country. Great advice Buddy.
ITS WHO THEY ARE.
Butt holes.
well said. WHen in Rome do as the Romans....when you move to the country...assimilate! You will be happier by changing yourself as well as your address.
@@wolfevickery6081
Thank you Wolfevickery. I live in Canada maybe you do or US. Doesn't matter we live in great countries who allowed people in wanting a better life. Why should we be subjected to their dissidents.
They do though.
What problems are city folk bringing to the country? Meth production?
Remember that with freedom comes responsibility. Living in the country doesn't mean you can disrespect and disregard everyone else!
Exactly!!
Yeah. Purposely shooting up a storm to annoy your neighborhood is being literally a total asshole
@@sambrooks1071 shot range open, 3 in response means they're on the way😂😂
I'm 65 and born and raised Texan.
I miss the days when my brother and I had to get up early to milk the cow and feed all the other animals on a farm. We grew I own food and raised our own pork and beef. The word boredom didn't exist.
I miss that.
The words depressed and anxious didn't exist either😂
Or I'm bored! That was the quickest, sure way to get chores 'given' to you, lol!!!😂❤
I so want to move to Texas and make a farm of my own.
Why did you change?
Keep the Starbucks and Targets away and you don't have to worry about blue staters moving in
That’s right brother. I moved from the suburbs in SoCal 24 years ago to rural Tennessee. Lots of work but I love it. Freedom and land is a gift from God.
Their first mistake is moving to the country to begin with. Then expecting the new place to revolve around them. 😅😊 So just stay home and vote your mess out
My husband's family owns about 5,000 acres in North Mississippi. It's been in his family for 4 generations. My husband claimed 5 acres on the Tenn-Tom waterway for our home, but our boys had access to all 5,000 acres. I would occasionally get calls from a relative not to worry, my boys had eaten lunch at their house or were in a pasture fishing. All kids should be able to live such carefree lives with a protective family providing the perimeter. Yes, Buddy as a matter of fact I'm staking my tomato plants today.
I would so love to have a situation just like that. Myself and my siblings are all in our 60s we all need an extra hand or two from time to time. It would be nice to live closer but not so close that you know all their business.
Ah yes, I remember the really good old days. 👍👍
I miss my house and land. I had to give it back to the bank My VA disability pension wasn't enough to keep it. Please drill it into your family how precious that family land is. God bless.
It was like that pretty much everywhere all the way up to the 80s. Glad there is somewhere that kids still have that kind of freedom.
In a pasture fishing? 'Round here the cattle graze in the pasture and we fish in the pond! 🎣
I'm a city girl but always wanted to live on a farm! I live in Florida and moved north because I couldn't get a job in the south because I couldn't speak Spanish. Now all the NY's moved in and all I hear is complaints about," how they do it different/better in NY!" I want to tell them to move back to NY!
You can tell 'em, but it won't help. They've been moving down and complaining for decades, maybe longer!
They seem to think that they're better because they're from 'up North'!
I am in FL and we always tell them 95 goes both ways
Tell them! It's what they need to know!
Native Floridian .... Retiring in Wisconsin to get away from the yankees taking over.
@davidblackmon8523 my husband doesn't like the cold or we would have already been gone almost have him talked into leaving
My opinion, far too many aren't coming to the country for what the country is but rather they are running away from what they created in the city. I'm justifiably concerned that all these folks will ruin the country just like they ruined the city then the suburbs.
My wife wants to retire in a community I tell her I'm not going if I can't pee of my back deck 😂
I could never handle one of those! My in laws built a house in a 55+ community and my dad wants to when he retires. Who wants to see 10 other houses when they look out the window??
We have new transplants. Showed up at town hall demanding a 7 million dollar aquatics center and a 1 million dollar pickle ball court. Yes. You read that correctly. Go back!!!!!!!
Yep, you want that stuff? Then go back where you had it!!
Fraternity Men protect flag at UNC - some of y’all are raising your kids right
North Carolina ❤ 👍
Indeed!
Yes🙌🙌🙌💕💪😎
did you see their interview?
they were israelis first.
burning the flag is more patriotic than making a law against it
you people are insane
This is good they did that.
I live in North Carolina and this College is very liberal.
Respect the neighbors land you have an easement to get to yours. You don’t own it so respect it. Respect seems to be a lost behavior.
New neighbor was rambling on about how a HOA would help him out .... soon he noticed how I had loaded 30 magazines of 25 rnd each of 308 (AR10), then he noted how 3 of my dogs started sniffing his legs and growling .... I have not seen him since. He moved to Tennessee from California.
This is the latest State that the Californicators are destroying.... They started moving to my Oregon in the mid 80's and look at it now.... Its gone......
Sounds like you have some mighty smart dogs there.
I hate HOA’s
We mostly have Californians move here. Even the ones that moved for the right reasons have a smugness “about how they get things done in Cali.” They bring their city rudeness here. They don’t realize when you live in the country you either know everyone or know someone who does so when you’re rude to the plumber or framer you had out working on your place it gets around. Then they piss and moan because no one wants to do any work for them.
@@BlessingsfromNorthIdaho I currently live here in that retched state, and I hate how things are done here. I don't live in the city but one of the counties.
Calling the cops because someone is shooting guns😂😂😂😂freedom is the number one reason why we live in the freedom of the country
Just not on or at MY land. Nearby? No problem.
Shooting guns no problem but I'd be pissed about the noise. Don't be an asshole
Add to the list- When you move to the country, stop voting like you did in the city.
👍🏼👍🏼
Yea that. I don't understand why liberals want to move to rural areas where (I assume) it's mostly conservative; and yet they want to change the fabric of the new place they move to. If you love that liberal cesspool that exists in the cities, by all means stay there!
The MOST important thing!
Yep, you're a refugee, not a missionary.
#1
Agree with all of what you said!
We are having the problem of so many people moving in and building in the rural towns in the mountains of NC they are causing property taxes to skyrocket and generational families are having to sell the farms and large tracks of land.😕
The same problem forever will be people moving to the country then trying to make it where they left because we are not fancy enough.
When they almost walk on a copperhead and they have no clue how to shoot a shot gun
Coperheads are okay...not that poisonous, as in say a rattlesnake.
Got a cottonmouth last night, about 4’ long, a rattlesnake two weeks ago and a copperhead while mowing.
@@The77surfer
One of the biggest differences between a Copperhead and a Rattlesnake is the rattlesnake will let you know if you are too close.
A Copperhead bite can kill you, if you don't know what to do, if you or anyone else is bitten.
Got a snake bite kit?
My daughter carries a 410 for those occasions. My wife has a 38SPL. Of course, I carry the "mobile cannon" (to quote my wife), a 357 S&W 686 w/ 4" barrel.
@@The77surfer Yeah, but you don't want the veternarian's bill when your pup decides to protect you. My Dixie (Jack Russel mixed with Pug) has done that twice.
To many city people try and tell us country people how to lived when they get out of the city.
Amen brother. Another thing that I have noticed. These new people come in and try to make us locals into what they were in the big city.
Ruined Austin
Used to live there
They don't assimilate
#1 know your property lines and never, ever go on your neighbors land without permission
Be on your toes like danny devito at the urinal. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bwahahahahaha
I couldn't understand what he said then, so glad you made this comment. 😂
That was a good one 🤣🤣
Amen!!
I have to use the Kiddie one-----Us old guys don't have the pressure to play fireman, by peeing in a graceful arc.
I miss it. Im 59 and was raised on a 240 acre farm and have always lived rural most my life. Came back to family farm for 10 yrs to take care of my aging dad and help take care of farm. It was going to be my retiring place, then dad up and told me he was selling it. Wrecked me when that happened. I bought a 30 acre place in the same area. Lived there 10 yrs, thought we had it paid off and found out our mortgage company didn’t give us the correct payoff quote. Got is into a bad legal bind and we lost that farm last year. I live in a 40ft RV now in town and fighting stage 4 cancer. Huge change but I will always long for the country. Things happen for a reason, you just have to trust God and Jesus Christ my friend. His plans are always perfect.
Peeing in your yard, keep the coyotes away
👍🏼
Gotta admit, there are one or two times the coyotes ARE needed.
Buzzards too.
fjb
Most people think you are joking.
@@dalehansen5050 Until they meet the coyotes and buzzards.
fjb
Take the dogs and show them the boundaries. A smart neighbor will understand why you are peeing at the edge of the fence line.
Lived in the country all my life. Mind our business. But when you move out here & start playing your music so loud it's coming through the walls of our house that we have to turn the volume all the way up on the tv just to hear it, that's when your business becomes my business. So move to the country. Show me respect, you'll get respect. Or vice-versa. Country is not a free for all. You still respect those living near you.
This country boy wins stereo wars. Doesn't take long for the newcomers to learn to like what I listen to or turn theirs down. Amazing how loud a sound system for a classic southern rock band can get. 😅
Hear it at all and that's toooooo much.
One of our neighbours like to party, and they have a professional sound system at their place that can be heard for miles around! BUT, they only crank it way up when everyone from miles around is there enjoying it together, and they kill the volume at around 10/11 for all the neighbourhood kids that need to go to sleep ;)
Sounds to me that you baught a house too close to another house.
thats not MAGA
Being able to pee anywhere on your land is one of my favorite benefits 🤣🤣🤣🤣
and so is squatting down and taking a poop
I live in a rural area in Tennessee and my newest neighbors "Noticing by their license tags" Are from California and another from New Jersey. I can smile and wave and they just drive by me with a poop eat and die stare. Well, Good luck getting any help from anybody around here because word gets out fast.
I hope only good people move to the country! 😊❤
Doing "podcasts" like Buddy here. Know-it-alls a dime a dozen.
Yep, don't ask the county to pave the gravel road and put in street lights. You moved out there to get away from that.
I moved out of a town to the country and man you ain't lying. Everyday there's something that needs done...
We have a lot of people from California and Oregon moving here, and I swear the first thing they do is start griping about how we do things. Guarantee they're going to start voting the way they did to turn this place into toilet they moved from.
Tennessee?
The biggest comment I have heard here in Florida as a multi generational Florida is why don't you do it like we did it up in New York or Michigan. This is not up there it's down here and we love it that way.
Right on. Tell them the same road that brought them here goes back the same way.
My response to them would be "because this isn't New York or Michigan; and if you think that why the hell did you move to Florida?"
huh?
You are a rare bird these days. Almost everyone in Florida, except maybe in the panhandle, is from somewhere else and that’s been true for many decades. My hat’s off to you.
Thanks Buddy - Former city slicker here. I wish I had moved out here sooner. Especially on the definition of a neighbor out here. I helping my neighbor out when she’s out for surgery on her horse ranch. I love the animals & the physical work - it’s a win-win. Former life - computer nerd, always indoors, packed freeways. New life I’m so much happier.
We have a new seasonal neighbor that hails from Long Island. (We are in CNY). He has told us that he has never had friends like the way people are friends to each other up here. I informed him early on; "We don't have $$$, fame, connections, or a lot of material resources. Our most valuable resource is our RELATIONSHIPS with folks. If you piss off your mechanic in L.I. you can go a block & find a new one. If we do that we are driving 1/2 an hour & the new mechanic is probably STILL friends with the one you pissed off so you might as well keep on driving. Don't come up here bossing folks around or taking their help for granted. Reciprocate & act genuine. Don't talk down to people & when they tell they do something a certain way, there is a reason. Find that reason out. We are smarter than we look. And we are loyal. If you are rude to our friends or other neighbors, that info WILL be shared & you will be shut out of some of the most fun of your life!" So far he has taken this advice & has made so many friends.
Some things to add…know your property line, because even if you don’t…your neighbors absolutely do.
Learn to love the dark at night, it’s not anything like city type dark.
Learn to navigate your property in pitch black…as if it were day light.
Learn all the sounds after dusk, the wildlife actually communicate a lot to what is in the area…both good and bad
Lastly, you will always hear some form of animal (bird, squirrel, coyote, etc) throughout the day…if your property becomes dead silent, be on your toes…for real.
You are absolutely correct on that!! I can navigate inside and outside my home in total darkness. I've always made it a habit to count how many steps from bed to bathroom, etc. Even if I go away for a weekend and stay someplace else, I'm counting steps. It could save a life one day.
You sound like you've got some good scary stories
@@ProductBasement not really. I do live in Cougar and Bear country though. There have been times when I’ve been more scared in the day vs night when walking through thick brush. At night, I anticipate predators, in the day…it’s quite the feeling when your neck hairs raise after the forest goes quiet. In my experience, there is usually a cat that’s close…or above.
When we moved into our 200 acres, elderly neighbour's declared we were dumping snow too close to his property line. We were confused because we just bought and had looked at the maps. But sure, we dumped snow further up our driveway. We paid for a surveyor because we thought it would be best to be more aware. Same surveyor was a local doing a bunch all along our road at the same time. Turned out our elderly neighbour had put half his driveway on our land.
Other neighbour's laughed about it. We moved here from the city but immigrated originally from rural England, Devon. Our elderly neighbour who had been there 30 years was originally from the city. I don't know about cities but rural England, we love our land surveyor.
Yes!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice truck, I've got one of them but mines a GMC K2500. I'm a rural old bastard, no shits given or taken, but I'd give my neighbors anything they needed.
160acres in Northern Ontario near Sudbury.
Wild deer, bear, moose, fox everything. Neighbour keeps bees and has a massive stone quarry he lets me use for a shooting range. We all help each other. Cattle ranchers, hay farmers etc.
Stewards of our land sure.
Hit the mark on this one Buddy!⭐
We have a few acres of land outside of Baton Rouge, and we always have something that needs to be done. Im planting some vegetables tomorrow and getting the ground ready for it today. I was raised with the belief that helping my neighbors was just the right thing to do. If someone is broke down, you stop and help them.. If someone's boat is broke down, you tow them to the landing. Not for money, but because it's the right thing to do. Love your vision of One Nation Under God. Thanks, Buddy.
It's always funny to me when new folks move out here and wonder why they hear so much gunfire.
Go to Church, not for everyone else, but for God and you; say Grace over meals. Respect everyone, especially the elder and women; use sir and ma'am; if an older person or lady walks in, give up your seat; wave at everyone; invite folks over for BBQ, fishfry, field dress and butcher a deer and donate it to the family down the road; cook a meal for your neighbor when they need it, or when they don't need it, invite them over for dinner. Teach boys to be men and girls to be women. If you see a gun standing in the corner, it's loaded, and all the kids respect it and know how to use it. Don't walk away from an argument, sit down and figure it out with a handshake. If you did someone wrong, take responsibility. If there is work to be done, do it or help the others do it. Don't worry about if you neighbor is doing the right thing, you do the right thing and pray. Don't embarrass another man; every man wants to work for what he gets. If a man falls down, help him up. If a man takes a knee, take a knee with him. Listen twice as much as you say. Treat animals good. If you see a parent disciplining a child, stay out of it. Do the best you can, so every night you sleep well because you know that you did the best you could do that day. Thank God for everything that you have.
Amen
Love it. I moved to rural Ky from So. Calif (LA). I fit in immediately & love my little farm & woods & my wild animals that visit me & yes, I have learned to shoot though not doing hunting till I need to. For now I buy my meat & dairy from my neighbors & yes, we take care of each other. They actually welcomed me with open arms & I finally love my life & my little farm I am clearing up around the house cause the woods took over my house. Life is finally good & I am good with my chain saw too
You need to clear bc of copperheads
If you smell cucumbers tread carefully
@@deborahharvey854 Exactly!!!
@@deborahharvey854what is it about the smell of cucumbers that applies to copperheads? I live in the country in north Northern California where the only poisonous snakes we deal with are Rattlesnakes which we sometimes call buzz tails.
Coppers smell like them what is a buzz tail
@@deborahharvey854 that is interesting. Buzz tails are a term to describe Rattlesnakes. The rattles are on the snake's tail and make a buzzing sound when the snake shakes it's tail.
So much common sense coming out of this man's mouth. He speaks Truth, I was born and raised in a Tiny place called Avon Indiana NOONE knew where it was. Now the suburbs swallowed it up. I don't even recognize it anymore, round abouts every other road. Sickening🤮let the country remain country, we don't need a 12th elementary school or anymore trees cleared for another neighborhood with landlords. Yep you have a landlord with those hefty HOA fees you sign up for, They can seize your house if you get to many violations or don't pay those dues. Leave the country alone.
I live in the Wisconsin north woods and I see people from Chicago come up here every summer. they just don't know how to act, they make people up here not like them so much.
Nobody back home likes them either. They're assholes.
They are an abrasive bunch
We moved from a city out to the country. The first tip a neighbor gave us was when you go into town to buy 1 thing, make sure you get 2. Now we have a full pantry and only go into town once a week 👍🏻😀
Nice square body pickup😎👍🇺🇸
All of us on our private road help each other out. I burned some diesel to grade out and drag our pot-holy quarter mile. I got some firewood in return. Didn't ask for it. It just showed up. It's how we roll. And we do have a neighborhood unwelcoming committee for those special occasions.
We had this guy for California move to our beautiful mountain here in Tennessee, and when my 16 year old son and his girlfriend were riding the gravel road near our house "public land " this California guy starts yelling at them and chased them out and said that's his land now. Well... that went over like turd in the punch bowl. And without prolonging the story, the California guy won't be stopping anyone and talking shit to kids anymore. It won't be tolerated.
And here you go.... Try to stop ANY of them from moving to Your state or town.... Their voting is why their state is destroyed...
I want to hear more
Good move. Same style here
@@TheTweetybird1122 his balls only clank loud with kids, but with a man they didn't clank at all. I told him to set down to pee from now on and he said "yes sir sorry sir it won't happen again sir " and it didn't.
Omg!!! Idaho is filled with the Karen's now😢
As somebody who grew up on a South Dakota ranch and now lives in a city center, it surprises me how truly urban and rural folks have more in common with each other, ie: knowing and helping their neighbors while respecting their privacy, than we do with folks in suburbia. Those folks are isolated in all the wrong kinds of ways. I never would have expected that but life is full of surprises.
If I’m being honest, when I was young, I used to hate the country. I thought it was boring. I didn’t like boring. Then I moved to the city. A lot more excitement not gonna lie. But a lot of money. Now I can care less for it too. But I don’t think moving to the country is going to solve the problem either. Sadly, nobody’s gonna be satisfied in this world. Whether you’re in city or country. It’s all gonna be gone one day. The answer is not in politicians or even family. It’s in one man and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. All other things do not matter.
Amen.
That’s true, but being in at least a rural area is much more relaxing and rewarding if you want to put the work in.
Amen!! We are pilgrims in this world
I agree. You have to put in the work. Or nothing gets done. It’s always a consequence for everything you do whether good or bad. In the work is nothing gets accomplished.
Exactly.
Moved to the country about 5 years ago unfortunately just like the city their are bad neighbors everywhere. I live next to one, but at least I have space between us
ok boomer
I wish I'd lived in the country, but due to my age and my.
Health I think where I am is the best. In my head, I'm still living in the country.😊
I agree with some of your points mentioned in this video. But disagree with others, I grew up in the country in Minnesota & still live in Minnesota (though unfortunately now live in the city). But loud/rude neighbors do exist even in the country, my parents moved us to the country for multiple reasons which included peace & quiet & nature. But 1 of our neighbors has snowmobiles & 4-wheelers & unnecessarily loud other vehicles causing all kinds of problems that interfere with quiet.
My Man Speaking Country Gospel 👊
I live in the panhandle of Florida and have a Yankee neighbor who calls the sheriff every time he hears a gun shot! He’s on a first name basis with all the dispatchers and deputies now and he’s only been hear 3 months!
Nobody’s clued him in yet?
Same problem in SRC Fla. I have a 100% legal safe set up. She has been told several times by the investigating Deputies. But she calls anyway.
Nope don't want them Don't need them they need to stay right up there in that city cuz nine out of 10 of them that I meet down here in the country can't get rid of that city mindset
I had an identity crisis for a while, I went from living in the country to living in the city!!
I was a country hick then a city slicker!! I finally got my head out and decided I wanted to be a country hick!! I couldn’t be happier!’ I got away from the noise , night lights and, the crime !!
I just want to be left alone and I don’t need anyone telling me what to do!! On my own property , I’m not looking for trouble just peace and quiet but if you are looking for trouble you will find it!!’
The question is, will there still be enough space in a few years for everyone who wants that lifestyle. Even with people having fewer kids these days, it’s bursting at the seams everywhere I go. They are building up in the cities, tearing out suburbs and building apartments and townhouses, and building suburbs in the rural areas. Every day another forest gets leveled in places where my family members live.
😅 Buddy nailed this one. I moved to Alabama 19 years ago because i saw stuff coming. I only committed one of these mistakes 😂 plus im a quick study and melted right in👍 Now my neighbors call me Damn Yankee ❤ cause I aint leaving😂😅
When they call you a damn yankee it's a good thing...you're in. If they call you a yankee...run!
Don't put so many lights on your property that it looks like a UFO landing strip.
You are so right. Respect is magical. Keep up the awesome work and God bless.
I've two neighbors each from the city. The first thing #1 did was put up a 6 foot chain link fence around his 4 acres. #2 went a chopped down 6 beautiful apple trees and filled his yard with junk. Both of them leave lights on 24/7. They are afraid of the dark.
Any old 11B would know better.
His house mouse? Nope. Might take a while to train her.
No.1 Leave the door open for your dogs to come and at night. If the dogs weight less than 60 lbs each. They are a rat chasers.
No 2. Do not turn on the lights to see what they are barking at.
No. 3 The dogs will show you where to look.
No. 4 Whup them kids for messing around in your bedroom where you keep the guns. When you are sure they get it. Keep them loaded.
No.5 You ain't in the city. The nearest set of blue and white lights could be 30 miles or further.
No. 6 I miss living in the country. Training the city born house mouse? Might take a while.
It’s funny, because I’ve been surprised at how many country people keep their yard lit up like a stadium at night. In the suburbs some people have security lights, but they don’t run them constantly. If they are turned on then they are usually on motion sensors.
"On your toes like Danny Devito at a urinal" is a beautiful Mississippi metaphor 😅😂😁👍
I would add this
Try to meet the closest neighbors prior to buying
If they seem off in a particular harsh way, look elsewhere. You don't want to buy into a bad situation right from the start.
Yup! Asking about the locals was always our first question to the realtor when we were shopping, and some places the seller would be home and we'd ask them ;)
I am born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and I have the same mentality as you buddy. Thank you so much for this video. It’s amazing.
Born in VERY, VERY, RURAL Southern Virginia, in the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains, THE REAL VIRGINIA!! The Home of General JEB Stuart!! And Buddy Brown, You Are Correct.......... Moving to the South is fine, but remember, WE DONT CARE HOW YA'LL DID IT UP IN NEW YORK!! Nuff Said ya'll
Also: ticks
Sounds like you could use a flock of guinea fowl! We have them, and every year the tick population around our house gets noticeably smaller... but if I walk ten minutes up my road to where I have my gardens, there's still loads of them!
Don't sell your rural property inheritance to anyone from California or Colorado, ruins it for anyone else living there.
Moved back to small town in Idaho from Fresno, California after 29 years...Love it.
Left Fresno for Tennessee 4 years ago. Never looked back
City girl here and saving up to move to the country...aside from peeing in my yard and traveling far to get supplies, this was exactly how me and most of my neighbors were raised...everyone I know hunts and goes fishing...pro 2a!! Mostly military and law enforcement...as much as I love where I was born and raised, my kind has been pushed out because lowlife idiots have destroyed it...and sorry, but I will continue to vote how I always voted, especially since I'll finally have a chance to be on the winning side!! (we haven't had a republican mayor since 1941-1952)
Amen Buddy!
If strangers come through?
Keep an eye on them for yourself and your neighbors.
There has to be a good reason to be around. Or they dont have any business being around.
Too many, too complicated. Lived in the country for 40 years, my only rule was “Live and let live.” Seemed to work….
Big one for newbies : Keep your dogs close at home.
Too many things wander and kill your neighbors animals.
Warning : Your dogs on my land without you , game over , .....you get one warning.
Due to the price of ammo, warning shots have been recalled. 😅😊
damn, sounds like you live in shame at the size of your johnson
does being an @ss make you feel better about it?
Moved to Southern Arkansas from Illinois. I needed the country and a red state. Ty for what you do buddy!
two S holes. there are much better states,, none red
needed a safe space, huh?
Well buddy, you know what’s funny about you posting this video now is my wife and I along with our four daughters are getting out of South Florida to move up to Alabama to get away from just how many people have moved here. We’re looking forward to getting out in the country and growing our own stuff. We’re actually in the process of renovating the house we just bought before officially moving in.
Don’t forget to leave ur voting record where u came from
Great video Buddy. Miss living in the country. Lived on 34 acres in North Florida. Had to move up North due to my father recovering from cancer and helping family out. First time I've lived up here in 27 years.
Your best video yet, I’m appalled on how many folks move to our area and clear cut everything, they should have stayed in the city.
First. I live in Western PA. Plenty of open area to live in. Definitely peeing in my yard. Keeps the deer from eating the shrubs my wife planted.
Just marking your territory, nothing wrong with that.
Another mistake folks make is dreaming too big about becoming totally self sufficient and live off the land!! It takes years to establish a sustaining system but damn you still have to buy stuff and pay taxes!
Hear you buddy. Love the country life.
💯! Had a new neighbor put pink ribbons on every tree to mark their lot...the tell me that our target shooting was unnerving. And we should let her know if we were planning on shooting next time. I politely let her know that the country might not be for her.
Some of these rules also apply to living in a small town. Please don’t tell us what you did in California and if we did the same thing we could improve blah blah blah. We’re fine.
Not all California's are idiots we do have good people who live up in the mountains in a small town and we look out for our neighbors and elderly
Add to the list, get used to your neighbors having animals and instead of complaining to the police or trying to make everyone have dogs on a leash or lose your mind because a cow or a pig is out. Call your neighbor and or help them get their livestock back.
Good topic for a video. The best advice I can give from growing up in the country is
Don’t move out here from the suburbs and then complain that there is no dining or shopping. And DON’T complain about there being nothing to do. Put down your iPhone and take in life the way the Lord intended. Last thing. Don’t tell the land developers where we are. It’s our LITTLE slice of heaven, and we don’t need a walmart.
I agree. I live in the country, all my life, but in the last ten years, people from out of state haved moved in, bought land driving up real estate costs, and some act like they are still in the "city." Just had someone from Illinois move in and pay an outrageous price for two acres. Ridiculous. If you move here, adapt to the country life. Keep your Yankee thoughts to yourself.
Actually I enjoy having a WalMart. But it can stay 15 miles away.
Amen...we are 20+ minutes to any town. We have a better community out here than when we lived in the city
Perfect episode Buddy
That squarebody makes me miss my 78' red and white blazer on 1 tons I recently sold.
Love your Backwoods Wisdom. Thank you for sharing. God Bless
Well said. Oh, and leave the gate the way you found it.
