Minnesota requires there to be 10 acres area before it’s called a lake. In Wisconsin, there is no requirements. I love both states so don’t go getting upset. Just stating the facts.
😂 24 years ago a brand new Super Center WalMart opened in the town just south of us in NE Indiana and they had both high school’s band and cheerleaders at the “grand opening” and the one school even closed that day!
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.
When I was a kid in the 70's in WI everyone in my family had at least two sets of these. One to keep in the shed/garage and the other in the trunk of your car. They were the deadliest toy next to the orange plastic Hot Wheel trash. (Which made an excellent whip)
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 am swedish and I can tell ya we are equally as obsessed with yard games. Our favorites are "krocket" and "kubb" 😂 Probably for the same reason as well, the days are so short during winter that ppl are practically hibernating, but as soon as spring arrives it is KUBB TIME BABY!
I live in Eau Claire, Wisconsin (yes, in the midwest). We are the Kubb Capitol of North America. We host the U.S. Kubb National Championship and we have Swedes come over just for that!
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.
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.

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)!
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
"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.
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. 🤠
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.
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.
I have family from bottineau and when he said largest soemthing in every small town…Tommy the title came exactly to mind. I use to climb up that thing every time we visited him. The fact he mentioned the turtle in the video deserves a like.
C'mon man! You missed Wisconsin! The world's, that's right, I said WORLD's Largest operating 6 Pack right in little ol' La Crosse Wisconsin. You should know that! 😉🍺🍺🍻🍺🍻 Look it up! 🕺🕺🕺💃💃🕺💃 "The World's Largest Six-Pack is a large collection of six beer storage tanks in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It is a well-known landmark and tourist attraction in the city. The cans can collectively hold about 688,200 US gal (2,605,000 L) of beer."
My husband is from the Midwest (Chicago suburbs) but he moved when he was in his early teens. He misses the Midwest. But he isn't really obsessed with most of the things on your list... :)
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
0:09 totally accurate. “Edgerton, WI. Home of the world’s largest Culver’s!” Bruh that shit just got an extra bathroom. It ain’t much bigger than any other Culver’s. 😂
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
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 😁
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.

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.

That's gotta be everywhere, we have that here in Texas too, and had it when I was in Illinois too
How did you forget bottle openers? Wall mounted, key chain, or improvised, we need to show off our ability to open that bottle for ya.
That should have been the opening to the video…

Thought it was a squirrel! I’m sitting here replaying several times to make sure I wasn’t crazy.

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.

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.
