When we get new people tuning in to Okie School of Adventure (and Charm!) they sometimes have trouble figuring out what exactly we do. So we decided to create a video that shares a little bit of how we got started and what's in it for our audience. One explanation came from when Alex met Mike Rowe and the channel was described as a kid-hosted version of Dirty Jobs. We explain it as practicing t...

Great parenting!
@@Angelika-f2d thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video! Thanks Alex!
@@aaronmoore8996 thanks for checking it out!
Another tour that would have been fun to be a part of. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
What an awesome technician! I can now fix my pump
Thanks for checking it out. Hope you find some of our other videos interesting, too.
What a video. I learned so much.
Thanks for watching!
Hey any tips for times or places to catch farmrail running?
I don't have any help on times, but we were fishing under this bridge last spring and got a great view of a Farmrail running through. There is easy access from a WMA access on the north side. maps.app.goo.gl/mdiryAquKxy6PxHM7
Great indeed.
Thanks for watching! Hope you like our other cotton videos, too.
Nver touch the capacitor before bleeding the charge stored in it by touching the prongs together with screw driver.
@@rachidsabri5787 thanks for the safety tip!
@@OkieSchoolofAdventure you're welcome. Be safe
Great video! Thank you for the suggestion on this video.
@@nmelkhunter1 thanks!!
This was a great video. Please keep up the appreciation you’ve shown for ranchers and cattle production. Oh, and Guns Up!
@@nmelkhunter1 thanks! Hope you can check out our video on preg checking cows at the Drummond Ranch and that you like it, too!
This is a little random, but the dad sounds exactly like Justin Neely from Citizen Potawatomi Nation!
@@SierraNickole hopefully that’s not a bad thing! Thanks for watching!
😂 this is the best video. I searched how a sump pump works or what’s inside a sump pump. All that would show up is opening a sump pit in a basement.
Thanks for checking it out. We've been amazed how many views it consistently gets and how it has been our best performing video so far.
It doesn’t taste like eggs at all!! 😂😂
So many great flavors!
As a civil engineer I enjoyed this episode. Great job 👍
Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts!
Where are y'all at
@@lindaraulerson4153 this tour was in Afton, Oklahoma
You did a great job on this video. I live in Brenham, we are very proud of Blue Bell.
Thanks for checking it out and the feedback!
I enjoyed learning this ... Even thoe I have a ("is it m&f ??) twister lacquered hat it's made of fiber like paper or straw ... I have a wool hat by stetson ... And I have a cheep polyester hat that does Mimic a rabbit or a beaver and I like to were this most times in the summer ... As kinds like a budget cowboy hat like the reeanacotrs .... It's a little tight on my ... See it does fit me pretty well but the thing is I have loads of hair it just sits snug ... Not hurting tight or didn't fit tight it feels good .... If I was to hike or ride in it tight
Great video everyone! And, for some reason, I'm hungry for shrimp creole over spicy Louisiana rice.
No I am, too! Thanks for checking it out!
OMG cute!!!! Good job, buddy!
Thanks for watching!
I do things like this with my girls I love it awesome job
Thanks for watching and commenting. I never regret spending time on projects like this.
Very cool !
Thanks!!!
Hi y’all! Just seen channel 4 talk about you guys ! Subscribed!
Thanks for checking us out. Hope you like it!
Its me parks
Hi alex great video 🎉😂
@@AmandaLeigh-y4u thanks for watching!!!!
I saw your RUclips channel on The Oklahoma 100. Congratulations on catching fish in all 77 Oklahoma counties!
Appreciate you checking us out and letting us know how you found us. Thanks!!!
Great video! I want to try making a worm farm now!
We started ours right after our tour and it’s going strong! Thanks for checking out our channel and happy worm farming!
Great job there dad! I can and have fixed and built many different things because of the teaching and of my dad.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Great video. We need to encourage our kids' curiosity to take things apart, though I did hear my dad telling me [50+ years ago] not to use a screwdriver as a lever! I have a Truper submersible pump similar in design. I suspect its float switch connection is bad so I am trying to disassemble it. Mine has Triwing screws where yours had torx. Triwing is like Philips head but with three points, where Philips has four. I had to find and buy some Triwing drivers, for the first time in my life!
Thanks for checking it out and the feedback. The next project that involves prying, I'll let him know there are better practices!
@@OkieSchoolofAdventure Mostly likely a screwdriver will just bend. If it snaps, you could do more damage!
I'd really love to listen but have absolutely no audio on any of your videos.
Sorry the playback isn’t working. Must be a new glitch only affecting some users because up until now all our videos had audio and playback is working on other devices. Hope it gets resolved and you are able to give us another shot.
I came across your channel researching salt plains park. I saw mike Rowe and had to click the video. This is how all kids should learn. Loved this video.
Thanks for checking us out and for taking the time to share such an encouraging comment!
Beautiful story about a Norcal treasure! Thank you so much for!
@@terez1inmorocco thanks for checking it out!
Is that a feaces pump for a septic tank
No. We previously used it in a drainage basin in our yard in an area that collected lots of water.
So cool!!
Thanks for watching!
I love this. First video I found of the inside of a sump pump. The previous home owner must’ve pulled the power cord out of the sump pump.. so I had bare wires showing.. and my capacitor was blown..
glad it helped!
I work at the pool next door and I hope you enjoy your visit
Thanks for checking out our channel. We had a great visit!
Great fishing trip for the young man to fly fish and land fish too, thumbs up and greetings form Kiwiland,, Tony.
thanks for checking it out!
Looks really stupid the people in the advertising wearing a ball cap advertising for cowboy hats
Shouldn't that little spokes person for the company be wearing a cowboy hat and not A ball cap
We aren't affiliated with the company at all - they were just kind enough to let us visit and see how hats are made as part of a school project. A few months later, we did return and buy him a hat though! Thanks for watching!
I love your channel! We also try to include adventure and nurture curiosity in our home school. Keep up the good work! (And congrats on the Mike Rowe recommendation!!)
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Appears to be a top notch company!
We were impressed on our visit and since publishing the video we have had several Kimray customers tell us so many positive things about them.
@@OkieSchoolofAdventure That's great!
What wonderful inflection in that narrative. Well done. (we already got the makings of a good trial attorney here ;)
Thanks so much!
I bought a small smoker 20 years ago and I love the smoke flavor it produces. I also bought a pellet smoker from Trager 6 years ago and I was never happy with the smoke flavor it produced in the food, I finally gave it away because I was so unhappy with it. I'll never buy another pellet smoker they just don't put enough smoke flavor in the meats. Cookshack makes a great product.
They are definitely passionate about what they do! Thanks for watching
They are beautiful, I just got a few cannas from your farm. Want so many more.
😄👍Good To Know, Great Tips
Thanks for watching!
glad to know when i add that 5 dollars ever year it goes to something good.great content guys
Thanks for watching and thanks for supporting Oklahoma fisheries!
Wow awesome video,and job Alex,and parents!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
very informational content . nice seeing places in Oklahoma i normally would not have know about
Thanks for watching. If you visit them, they aren’t far from Will Roger’s birthplace which worth visiting, too!
Alex...you make me proud to say I'm from Oklahoma. I learned about you from Mike Rowe, and I will be watching all of your videos. Good job.
What a compliment. We love Oklahoma and our fellow Okies. The encouragement we have received has been amazing.
If you want to watch mighty machines at the train yard, that will help you as well with safety
Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching!
What an absolutely beautiful and instructive video. Very cleanly done and wholesome. Made me feel good just to watch it. The narrator was simply superb!
What kind comments. Thank you! Hope you enjoy some of our other videos, too!
