Both of my parents were born in 1929. The Depression, and all they had to do during it, was drilled into my head all my life. I hated having to re-hear all the stories about how bad it was and what they did to survive.....BUT NOW? NOW I'm glad that they drilled that into my head because now I know EXACTLY what I need to do to survive what's coming at us. From rags for shoes, handkerchiefs for diapers, games for entertainment to cooking meals that you invent with whatever you have.... I got this!
we didn't have that in Greece where I grew up, I mean the economy wasn't great, but that was the norm... later though we had the German occupation... and boy, the stories we heard about that time... my parents young than, we were listening stories from both perspectives, the young and the old, parents-grand parents... there wasn't ''living off the land'' then... whatever you grew, or catch the German would take it... you had to eat it on the spot if you had the option... people dead on the streets, [of hunger ] black marketers buying property for food... [collaborators...] you learn to value things that matter having knowledge of such things...
It seems like your generosity was instilled into you many generations ago. That’s genuine selflessness. To feed others and open your house during the Great Depression. That’s why your granny didn’t know she was poor. Her and her family were all rich in love and knowledge. We would live in a much better world of most lived like that.
I'm so glad that you recorded this Jason. Not all of us have the luxury of learning from a relative like this that lived through such times, and what we potentially may go through again. This is a golden resource.
Granny looks and sounds great for 89, God bless 😌 My Nan passed away nearly 2 years now aged 90, born 1931. She worked on the family farm and pretty much raised all her siblings until she moved to England in 50s. That generation were/are made of different stuff.
"Again the law"! My Grandpa ALWAYS said that (born in 1912, died in 2013). He was from the Canadian prairies so not just an Appalachian word! lol - Love it and this video! So interesting to hear your Grandma's stories! Thank you for sharing!!
Pops and gramma Tita both in heaven now. Love your granny stories. She is a survivor that dispatched life on he one way. Thank you for joining family here in one big one, blessings from Costa Rica.
Elijah pooping in the tree has me laughing out loud!!😂😂 kids!! I'm 65yrs old, and I've stayed with my grandparents who were born in the mid 1800's, and came from Norway, to escape the Anabaptist Persecution. My parents were raised during the Depression, and my Grandma NEVER lived any other way. Milking the cows, making butter and cheese, working both the family gardens and the animal gardens, canning the fruits, veggies, some meats, {mainly smoking or salt curing meats}, making soap, and Maple syrup, dipping candles was their life until they died. The education I've had as a child growing up, is invaluable. Bee hives alone supplied everything from candy, light, and medicine. Now it's called living "off grid", and they called it living life! I hope folks wake up REAL soon, and recognize these stories are true, and if tomorrow we had NO power, no water, and real social chaos {which I believe is the plan} they do need to be ready. The mindset of the old folks is gone. Today if you "help" someone who needs it, they will come back and take everything you have. Keep God First, and your powder dry!!
They dont make ladies like her anymore! Its Christmas morning and my son hasnt pooped in a tree but Ive been so mad at him I could spit nails. You made me missed those who have passed on!
Yea! A granny video. It’s been too long. I see where you get your survival instincts from. You’re family has some amazing history. True survivalist. I was amazed to hear how generous they were during that time. I don’t think most will be during the next Depression
Love listening to Grannys life stories. She reminds me of my own mother and my granny. Mom grew up dudring the depression as well and was #10 of 12 children. Hearing your Grannys stories reminds me of listening to mom tell her stories of growing up. Brings back fond memories.
Watching this makes me miss my granny so much. Very special person. Grew up in Wayne County West Virginia and times were so simple back then. I'm 44 years old now and man how i wish i could go back to those days. Now I live in South Point Ohio and things are a lot different here than the slow-paced honest life of country living. Cherish what you have...
My mother was born the same year. She had Alzheimer's for 10 years and passed 13 years ago. I'm so thankful I listened to her when I had her here. I was young but knew enough to learn from wisdom and experience.
This is in my top 3 of your videos. The best part was seeing your grandma laughing. I love talking to my dad (age 82) about how life was back when he was growing up and how my grandparents were. Just the best knowledge.
Wow!!! 700!!! Half gallon containers they had canned that’s insanely amazing! Hard work and everything. 99% of kids these days wouldn’t be able to hack that until that winter time hit lol.
God bless Granny! I know I miss my granny and my mom. Cherish her and pick her mind for everything she can remember. This is one of my favorite videos of the year. Your granny was born in the 30’s like my mother and her experiences sounded like my mother’s. I could sit and listen to her talk all day.
I love this. It reminded me of stories my Mamaw told me. She survived the depression as a young widow with 4 small children. Thank you for sharing. Please have your Grandma on again. I love her stories and we can all learn so much from her.
It's always priceless to see & listen to granny life story. It make us feel weak & spoiled. They don't make it like granny anymore. Hi Granny.! You're famous here in Australia. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experiences with us. Learn how to survive, knowledge that would serve well in time of need. Help others coz they may help you back, great karma. Love you granny. Cheers Mr. Slayer.
So informative and wholesome. Our elders and their lessons are a gift. Some teach you what to do and how to act, others exemplify what not to do and how not to act. But to be able to learn from those who've lived it, probably exponentially harder than us is a gift.
Enjoy the time that you have left with your elders. Appreciate them and what they have to offer. Listen to their stories and mind their sage advice. For one day they will pass and what you will have left are the memories... Our parents were born in the 1920s and it is strange to think that at almost 70 years old, my cousin and I are the oldest in our extended family.
Great video Jason and much respect to your grandmother for her stories from her youth and her heart felt wisdom of being kind to someone till they prove you wrong and the funny stories too bless her soul. I see some of her traits in you and that's a good thing. I miss my grandma she lived till over 100 y.o and she was kind & loving and loved to laugh too God rest her soul. Stay safe and stay alert.
I had 1 grandpa born in 1904 and 1 born in 1928 (I am 42). My younger grandparents helped raise me and still live like it is the depression, reusing foil, baggies, etc. and are still alive in their 90s. Their best friends (also still alive) fled here during WW2 and survived the war and nazi invasion. Between those 2 groups, what they stress most is: ALWAYS have a garden! If u plant when u need 1, u will starve before it produces food. In that garden u should always have potatoes, pumpkin, corn, carrots and spinach. The reason for this is that any animal or person can eat them, so u can feed your family and livestock and will be full + have nutrients. Zucchini and tomatoes are 2nd because of the mass they grow. Reuse everything, even your food. Used corn cobs make great jelly. Veggie scraps and meat bones make for a nutritious broth that u can put potatoes in or dunk a biscuit in, and make it feel like a meal. Give those soup scraps then to the animals, or compost them to make more food. ALWAYS save your bacon grease to add fat to each meal. Can everything possible, even meat. At the end of each day, can your leftovers instead of throwing them away. Never spray or pull dandelions, u can eat every part of them and sneaking them into stews will add substance and vitamins. Always keep hot dogs and dried pasta around. If meat is not available, everyone will start hunting and fishing and all animals will be gone within a few months. Hotdogs and pasta make for a very inexpensive and filling meal. U can grow veggies, but u will still need meat, fat and carbs. Hotdogs and dry pasta last forever and if u add some old bacon grease and veggies (tomato sauce), u can have a full meal. Vinegar works for everything and so does salt!
Great stuff Jason. Priceless. Wish I had my current interests years ago when my grandparents were around so I could pick their brain. Did get a few stories of my paternal grandparents meeting while both serving as medics in WW2, but would love to hear more.
Your mother, a representative of the healthiest generation with the longest life expectancy ( longevity now falling) Why? Tough healthier life involving hard work, smaller less frequent meals, and little junk food. A much happier generation!!! Kudos to your mum. Mine similar. same work ethic. She recalls the rationing of the 40s,and early 50s here in UK. Life was tough. We have it easy peesy these days.
You're BLESSED to still have your mawmaw, wish I had been of a mind to ask mine these things before they left this earth. She died at 92 in 2000, so she lived through the depression. Luckily I still have my parents and I'm getting all I can from them now in my late 40s. Question for you though, how in the world you don't have a Appalachian accent, at all? Even my southern comes out when I'm not paying attention...I knew what she was saying without you translating😊
Thank you so much Jason for sharing your grandma's story I wish I had gotten my granny's story it was very similar. My grandpa was a bootlegger and made runs from Baxter TN to Indiana lol.boy he had some stories. He had 8 brothers and sisters. 4 sisters and 4 brothers back then that was considered a normal size family
Great video, brother. Love the Appalachian talk. Like mommy and uins. Down in South Ga. It's momma and yall. 😂. The corn planter yall had we called a corn driller. We had one. And let me tell you if you had to plant a lot, it was rough. I'm 40 plus years younger than granny but had to use it one time. Once again, great video, brother.
Doesn’t sound like a good time. Thank you very much. I’ll be back to visit granny for the annual family reunion. I’ll have another granny video in a month or two.
This will be way worse than the Great Depression. The average income, adjusted for inflation, during the Great Depression was 95,000 dollars. We are WAY worse off now than they were then.
Please thank your granny for all of us viewers. For me, her stories remind me of my granny, which never fails to put a smile on my face. To answer your question, I think we're already at the beginning of one now. I think by the next presidential election things will get "interesting ". (I hope I'm wrong but, put up what you can, while you can, just in case.)
Now this is the real way to live, strong family value, work on your own homestead, grow and preserve your own food with your family. Just look at the result, she still alive healthy and coherent unlike "Brandon"! Perhaps when SHTF, it'll actually help the mankind to get back to basics. No bills, no gym, just you family and your two hands! Go Granny, God bless you.
I call BS, and say fight it, along with Squirrel Tribe. Without commenting on the ecological state of Crab Island, and surrounding waters, there is obviously more not being brought to light. Sounds like a job for Squirrel Tribe...😮
Lol my mom and dad was born 1928 they used tell me how people would wonder off never seen again most time in winter time .I asked wear they go they wear eating. When they kids you stayed home
Do you think there will be another Great Depression?
Unfortunately, there are a lot less people that have the mindset to weather a modern day depression.
Take away the credit cards and everyone would realize we are already there.
Both of my parents were born in 1929. The Depression, and all they had to do during it, was drilled into my head all my life. I hated having to re-hear all the stories about how bad it was and what they did to survive.....BUT NOW? NOW I'm glad that they drilled that into my head because now I know EXACTLY what I need to do to survive what's coming at us. From rags for shoes, handkerchiefs for diapers, games for entertainment to cooking meals that you invent with whatever you have.... I got this!
Mine were born in 1928. My grandmother was the one who was always talking about the depression
we didn't have that in Greece where I grew up, I mean the economy wasn't great, but that was the norm... later though we had the German occupation... and boy, the stories we heard about that time... my parents young than, we were listening stories from both perspectives, the young and the old, parents-grand parents... there wasn't ''living off the land'' then... whatever you grew, or catch the German would take it... you had to eat it on the spot if you had the option... people dead on the streets, [of hunger ] black marketers buying property for food... [collaborators...] you learn to value things that matter having knowledge of such things...
It seems like your generosity was instilled into you many generations ago. That’s genuine selflessness. To feed others and open your house during the Great Depression. That’s why your granny didn’t know she was poor. Her and her family were all rich in love and knowledge. We would live in a much better world of most lived like that.
Lovers of self will abound in end times
More, please! ❤
I'm so glad that you recorded this Jason. Not all of us have the luxury of learning from a relative like this that lived through such times, and what we potentially may go through again. This is a golden resource.
Granny looks and sounds great for 89, God bless 😌
My Nan passed away nearly 2 years now aged 90, born 1931. She worked on the family farm and pretty much raised all her siblings until she moved to England in 50s.
That generation were/are made of different stuff.
This is great information. She is a national treasure.
Thank you. She’s the best!
Wow! You are so blessed to have your grandma at your age! Continue to learn from her
As much as I can! Thanks for watching
"Again the law"! My Grandpa ALWAYS said that (born in 1912, died in 2013). He was from the Canadian prairies so not just an Appalachian word! lol - Love it and this video! So interesting to hear your Grandma's stories! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for this video! We all need to pay close attention to this advice! Respecting our elders is almost as lost and survival and hard work..
Absolutely!

It was very comical! It’s wonderful that you were blessed to get to know your grandparents and had the opportunities to learn from them.
It is true if you help someone they only come back for more!!!!
Oh my gosh no way was she born in 1934!! She looks great for her age I think. God bless her and you all❤️
Thanks. My wife tells my granny that it’s unfair that she at 39 has more wrinkles than my granny at 89. 😂

My grandfather was born in 1934 and he passed in 2018. Granny's doing really well in the video.
Granny is the toughest and most lively 89 year old that I know. I look forward to learning from her for another thirty years 🥰
Your VERY BEST Video to date.

Poverty is a state of mind. It has nothing to do with money.

I hope be have that energy at that age
Me too! I doubt it. She runs circles around us at 89. She stays up until 2 am and gets up at 6 or 7 to take care of her garden.
Smart people listen to people with gray hair. My hair is gray now, but as a child, my best friends on the block were the gray-haired.
Great ending advice.

Go Granny, God bless you.
Depression was 1929 to apx 39. Just for reference. Granny sure looks good for that age. 84 minimum to have just been alive then.
A days wages for a sack of flour~!
It makes you realize how spoiled we are now.
Those were hard times
hope we have enough of the old folks to help through this upcoming trial
Some body made a edit mistake 28:50 to 29:10
Young people need to be listening to old people, folks.
If I need to cover my tracks for any reason, I'm pooping in the tree. Lol.

If you label someone a “hoarder” it’s most likely they had to live through this. It’s not something you unlearn
