The secret to finding a good yard sale is knowing your neighborhoods. What is yard sale material worth a buck or two for one house just might be your replacement toaster or bread machine that will save you tens of dollars not having to buy at Walmart. Also, don't be too quick to dismiss your townships solid waste site. Sure, sling your trash in the big dumpster then drop off the clean recycle in the proper bins, but don't pass up that big roll off box over to the side. They don't put steps on the side for you to fling your metal items in there, it is so you can lean over and get a good scope on what might still be worth taking. If you have an attendant that's worth his salt, he might just have a table or two of things the owner has dropped off but somebody might still want. And remember, "It ain't worth nothing unless it's free."
I live in a bigger city now and all I ever see is just used baby clothes. When we had our yard sale it was on the farm after my parents bought it and we were just trying to get rid of thirty years worth of stuff from the last person. We had pickup trucks, lawn mowers, garbage bags full of plastic silverware, and ten year old canning stuff just to name a few. Then ten years later my parents had one of their own with tractors and farming supplies when they sold the place and built a house.
Its called “Tommy Turtle” in Bottineau and yes its legendary. Grew up climbing it as a kid. At one point Botno was a huge snowmobile destination as it sits at the base of the Turtle Mountains, hence the name. Still great trails up here when we get snow.
MN requires a lake to be 10+ acres not 2.2 acres. Under any same definition of a lake MN has more but we define the different that's where the rain puddle joke comes from. ruclips.net/video/KylnTDa-te0/видео.htmlsi=KDowNE_zJybdlBFD
"It's just a garage door, but it opens and we love that." 😂 Very true...mainly so we don't have to get out ofthe vehicle in the freezing cold winter...or the blazing hot summer...
Our opening day was on a Saturday so I had to be in school on Friday. We usually got our deer within an hour of deer season opening so back to school on Monday I went.
Kansan here, I knew when I saw the title you were going to mention weather. I went to Subway on Sunday and used a paper coupon I got in the mail to get a discount on a foot long. The town I grew up in and where I live now how citywide clean-up, aka a day of numerous garage sales all around town. You can sign up to be a part of a corn hole tournament at the fair, lol. So relatable.
I grew up in a town with 800 something people and moved to a town of 1273 in sixth grade, worked a few years in other small places then lived in Denver for ten years. That was plenty big enough for me.
This goes for those of us in Northern Ontario (Canada) too, with one exception: not trapped indoors for 6 months, I’m probably outside more blowing snow and riding sleds (snowmobiles)!
Amazing list. Spot on. Especially the bit about openers. I now live in GA, but I'm from Youngstown, OH. Whenever I talk to my parents they make sure to inform me about the new restaurants and hardware stores that are opening up in area.
I used to live in the town with the hardest red granite in the world. We went to New York City and saw Grants tomb made from it. Montello, Wisconsin. We also depending upon the year had the widest tree in the state on the courthouse lawn.
Sums up my life. I live in Kansas and I live at the clearance section at Walmart where I do make small talk with people about current events, anything but politics. Also I might live nearby a lake 18 acres
My town , largest Ski Jump , we hold the U.S. record for longest jump , we also have the largest Cornish Pump in America , and many other things , my little town Rocks ! Skäl
My wife is from the Midwest and this is spot on. Of course she got a kick out of me and my buddies taking a roping dummy to hunting camp. I just told her practice makes perfect. 🤠
** There are approximately 15,000 lakes in the state, ranging from large bodies of water to small ponds. This high number of lakes contributes to Wisconsin's reputation as a premier destination for outdoor recreation, including boating, fishing, and swimming. ** Eat it Minnesota
Don’t forget we all have a secret rummage sale addiction 😂😂or atleast all us in Indiana do🙄people lose their minds over highway 50 yard sale weekend every memorial and Labor Day weekend 😂
Best yard game every..Lawn Jarts. No one actually played it. Adults would sit and drink, while unsupervised kids would see who could throw them up in the air the highest (usually after dark.). No one knew where they were going to land. You'd only hear, "look out!!" even though no one could see them. Solely the grace of God that no one was impaled through the brain. I'm certain whoever bought my parents' home found a set of them in the garage attic.
So true on the cheapskate we will wait to that one tool that you want to go on sale and we will wait months and if it’s not even good enough deal we will wait for the next sale which is months later
"According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Wisconsin has 15,074 documented lakes that are at least 2.2 acres in size. However, if Wisconsin were to use the same definition as Minnesota, which is 10 acres or more, the number of lakes would be closer to 5,300." Y'all have low expectations as to what lakes are.
So true . You guys always talk about Kohls cash, but what about the 11% rebate on everything at Menards? I go there and find myself buying things I dont need just to get that $4 rebate in the mail. Have a stack of them. And unlike Kohls cash they dont expire. Got my eye on a leafblower and gonna pay for the whole thing in rebates. Could have I just bought it? Sure, but I like waiting for rebates to come in little bu little, then Im getting a deal 😁
The Menard's 11% rebate 😂 infamous
They’ve got it going in now I was just there a couple days ago. I picked up a “throw away” drill for like $16 before the rebate!
Christmas time is here
Great savings and good cheer
At Menards, glad tidings to you
Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas!
They reel you in with the rebate, knowing that you, and approx 75% of the rest of their customers, will forget to mail it in 🤦♀️
I never get my rebate back
I swear there’s always an 11% rebate like it literally never ends 😂
Former Minnesota resident/current North Dakota resident checking in, all of this is 100% accurate.
As a life time North Dakotan I agree.
Lifetime north dakota resident here as well. 100% on point!
you guys are in the north, not midwest.
@@BPB9973952 that's why they call this area the _Upper Midwest_
Did anybody see that bird come out of the gutter outlet at 1:19!!?😂 Thanks for the awesome videos about our heritage!
Thought it was a squirrel! I’m sitting here replaying several times to make sure I wasn’t crazy.
I saw it for sure! didn't look like it flew too well...
It was a squirrel. They jump then spin their tail for stability
I was hoping it was a cat😂
We old school types played “Lawn Darts”! Whole different breed of dangerous there!
And as kids, we were encouraged to go play lawn darts. Just go outside. Great camping activity as well.
I never saw why it was dangerous but I also didn't stand where I threw them up in the air. My parents still have their set somewhere.
@@madtownangler Me neither, but the people who got hurt are the reason we have warning labels on everything now.
“Testicle toss” got me dying laughing 🤣
To add to the list. Hayward WI....largest musky. And, how did you forget all the Paul Bunyan statues!?🤔🤔
YES!!!!!!! I was thinking the same thing!!!!
Bingo at the local legion or VFW. Friday night fish fry in WI is a year round thing, but Lent takes it to another level.
That's gotta be everywhere, we have that here in Texas too, and had it when I was in Illinois too
Explaining this with a “mid size” truck behind you😂
We sure do love our sweet corn in the summers!!! Definitely a Midwestern thing!!!
First sign of spring Midwesterns mow the lawn
Only spent 4 years in Minnesota, but can't stop watching this guy. I learned a lot in those 4 years. you betcha!

Saw the “turtle on snowmobile” during a cross country road trip!! It needs a paint job. 😂
I always take two swimming suits when I travel. I never use either one of them. But, I could.
Wisconsin would call the rain puddle in my driveway a “lake”
Then why do I see so many Minnesota license plates at my "rain puddle" in Wisconsin? :)
A lake is any body of water that is at least 2.2 acres. Wisconsin has 15,074 of them.
MN requires a lake to be 10+ acres not 2.2 acres. Under any same definition of a lake MN has more but we define the different that's where the rain puddle joke comes from.

Forest lake, MN. There was a feed store grand re opening and there were thousands of people there
Oh how we sure enjoy a good game of washer toss.
Southern Ohio here!
High School was closed for Deer Season opening day! 😅
Also Red's opening day
Back when I was in high school, our school district gave the whole week of rifle season off for "Thanksgiving Break"
Our opening day was on a Saturday so I had to be in school on Friday. We usually got our deer within an hour of deer season opening so back to school on Monday I went.

Former IL resident also confirming this is correct 💯
Did a bird just get shot down in the middle of your video at the 1:20 mark?! 😂 Look at the top right toward the roof!
Welcome to the Midwest

Squirrel out there just squirreling doing squirrel things
Bro just called Springfield Mo a small town 🤣

Fish Fry Friday night at the VFW.
Hillsboro, Ohio, World's Biggest Horseshoe crab. Everything in this video is so true.
Does Ohio count as the Midwest? Seems we always get left out, maybe we’re thought of as the Great Lakes?
Dont forget the big muskie bucket

Shoutout to Kewaunee WI, largest grandfather clock
I love loons and that loon is AWESOME.
My mom has a loon painting on every single wall of their house even the bathrooms. One wall has got seven of them

Our lakes are actually lakes, not just puddles in the corn field or on the curb.
Pizza ranch!!!! Great fried chicken at the buffet!
The coupon thing is so true at our grocery store the receipts have coupons on the back, like a buck or two off stuff!
I live in the Springfield, MO area and work in Springfield. So glad to hear a shout out!!
Going with item #1 Casey IL the small town full of big things.
I used to live in the town with the hardest red granite in the world. We went to New York City and saw Grants tomb made from it. Montello, Wisconsin.

1:16 the bird diving from the gutter was a " what was that moment " Is the biggest ball of twine still in Minnesota like "Weird" Al sings about?
I live in Indiana and am having friends over tonight to watch the Olympic OPENING ceremonies!!!
This channel is gold. Short form content area was a misstep but myles is killin it. :)
Lawn darts 🎯
We played Bottineau in volleyball and we would take pics with that stupid turtle everytime we were there 😂
When u r talking about the “pink, green, orange” garage sale signs it looks like a squirrel dive bombs off your garage roof!! Haaaa
Yard games we still have a set of the old school Jarts, now that’s a really good yard drinking game
Really, what CAN'T be a good Midwestern drinking game - especially if it's outdoors during those six months of salvation.
@@scottgigot2593 we are in western NY so its close to what you experience in weather changes
So nice of you to give Micheal J Fox a job as your camera mam

From/livening in Minnesota so true
A lot of your stuff is repetitive. But this was refreshingly hilarious. Nice monologue and delivery. Hailing from Menomonie WI
It's funny because it's true...Love the Midwest!

Every time--EVERY TIME AND IT'S BEEN YEARS!!!!!!!!! when my garage door opens I hear the theme music to dynasty.
Dont forget the Jarts! Jarts are the pit bull of yard games.
when I eventually get to building my record shelf cap N scale layout, it will have an ice cream shop contained within the worlds largest udder.
Don’t forget we all have a secret rummage sale addiction 😂😂or atleast all us in Indiana do🙄people lose their minds over highway 50 yard sale weekend every memorial and Labor Day weekend 😂
As a Midwesterner it's criminal to call bags cornhole
2:15 Wisconsin claims that because the classify any puddle bigger than a house as a lake! Minnesota it has to be 10 acres or more!
Did you see that squirrel jumping from the roof in the background 😂
I believe the largest Muskie is in Hayward Wisconsin also a very fine collection of vintage outboard motors.
I live in Detroit Lakes and we won one free pizza every month from pizza ranch
Ladder golf is called Polish Golf for us FIBs in Chicagoland
Ohio here, 💯 on all that!
Goddamn Miles, lookin fit AF dude. Time to try out for the pack
This also all extends to the Canadian prairies.
That pizza ranch is really nice gotta compete with zorbas!

They're also obsessed with calling the middle eastern part of the US the "Midwest."
It used to be the Midwest before the pioneer days I think that is why they call it that. I consider Nebraska or Colorado to be the Midwest
Northern Illinois Dad checking in. I called three guys to tell him about the $ $6 clearance tool pouch I got at the local Ace hardware sale 😂
Wisconsin has 15,000 lakes that meet the technical requirement to be considered a "lake".
speaking for Nebraska we have more lakes then Minnesota and I have lived in states.
Slingin the bean at some ply.
Miles you forgot Midwestern love an open ice cold beer
So true on the cheapskate we will wait to that one tool that you want to go on sale and we will wait months and if it’s not even good enough deal we will wait for the next sale which is
months later
The town i live next to has the worlds largest mustard museum. Middleton, Wisconsin.
One that I've seen is the plastic bag full of plastic bags.
Yes - if you know what you are doing you have a closet for that thing.
No matter what way you spin it Minnesota has more lakes. I can’t believe I took the bait.
I grew up in central Wisconsin. We have more lakes than Minnesota. 😂
