I carried a red bandana as a handkerchief for 30 years as a soldier and an additional 20 years as an elementary school teacher. Always a red bandana - I didn’t realize that it had become a hallmark. Most useful as you explained the many uses. I chose red because I was a medic and it didn’t show blood too bad. i wonder at how many young men I escorted to the nurses office over the years with bloody noses with my bandana to sop up the bleed - easy to wash out at the nurses station and throw in the laundry that night. I always carry a clean white linen handkerchief with my suit for formal events or mass.
Cody your really an inspiration to all of your viewers. I’m 12 and you have shown through your videos the right way to do things. I live on a horse farm in Pennsylvania. Now after watching your vids for 4 years, when my dad leaves for the barn and says “man I really don’t want to stack 400 bales of hay” I say “ me neither, Lets go” so thank you cody god bless you.
My grandfather was a marine, 25 ,year veteran, i remember the day he gave me my first gun ,i was 6 ,it was a bb gun , we lived in Arizona in the middle of nowhere, i run out shoot the first blue bird, or black bird can't remember the color, but he came out an said ,look boy ,if your going to shoot an animal it better be for food ,he made me eat that bird, I'll tell you what it's moments like that ,that make people i learned respect for life . You talking about life lesson made me think of that .
I used to shoot Birds when I was a kid with my old single pump BB gun. Then the Lord put it on my heart one day what was going on! It wasn't very personal because the birds always flew off. One day I zeroed in on a bird & pulled the trigger but when I hit it instead of flying off it flew straight to the ground. I ran over to look at it. I had shot its bottom beak off and it was staring at me frantically huffing and puffing. I felt horrible and realized what I had to do! Somehow it never occurred to me that I was taking on a life of an animal by shooting it. Now I had to put this bird out of its misery so that it would quit suffering. I did that and then dug a grave for it and buried it & never shot another animal again after that. I was around seven years old. If it comes down to starving to death then, I would have to do it. I've never had to do that. I'm 50 years old now & I have always bought my food at the grocery store.. I have killed several chickens when I was a kid for food. We raised chickens for laying eggs and for eating. But to take an animal's life just for the sport of it, not for me!
Ronnie Pirtle Jr I suppose you probably wouldn’t understand that some other animal that might not be able to hunt so well probably benefits from the carcass of pests that are taken out by some people.
@@ronniepirtlejr2606 either way, eating involves death, whether you kill it or a slaughterhouse kills it, even if you're vegetarian, many animals are killed in the fields during a harvest
My daughter had a bad bicycle accident but because I had my handkerchief and I was quick to cover up the wound she persevered and didn’t know how bad it was, and walked the half mile or so back:) thank you Cody I relate a ton to your videos, you remind me of my grandpa thank you for teaching the world about these things
You’re not overdoing anything sir. There’s so much junk out here to watch, it’s refreshing to watch someone who is actually providing good content. Thank you
My father gave me similar advice. "A man must always have with him, at a bare minimum, the means to cut, to bind and to make fire." So yes, I always carry a Zippo, a combat folding knife and a keychain made from 550 cord. He also told me, "A gentleman always carries a handkerchief." I miss him. He was a classic and classy guy.
Excellent video! My Grandfather always carried a hanky, a pocket knife or two and a pair of pliers. He wore overalls and the pockets were roomy. I still carry the same gear but sometimes I jam the pliers into the same pocket as my iPhone. Scratched a few screens. He always had one knife that had the blades sharpened down like ice picks. On the farm we were forever getting splinters and he used that knife and precision digging to remove the splinters. He then used the hanky to dry my tears.
@@preacherjayk I get wrangler jeans. They last me 3-6 months while only having 2-3 pair a year or more if I have 4 or more pairs. No need to spend that much on pants.
I've spent over 200$ on pants before. And if you make sure they are of the right quality, it's more of an investment because they will literally last you a life time. I have jeans that are well over 10 years. Use them for doing everything. Still going strong. East Coast of Canada...my backyard is the woods, my front yard is the bay of Fundy. Those pants have sent some rough days.
My great uncle John Howes was a Methodist Preacher, from a long line of Methodist preachers tracing back to before this nation got its start. He asked me, an 8 year old boy at time..” Ryan, hand me your pocket knife” I very embarrassed answered, that I had one but wasn’t allowed to carry it. Mom said no. He said he would bring it up at dinner. 6 hours later or so, we were at the dining room table, he had said the blessing, and at one point during the meal, he said quietly calmly and with the authority 80 years can give a man that has lived a good life “A man, or boy should always carry a pocket knife. You never know when it might come in handy. You might just need to cut some twine, you might need to core an apple, or (insert dramatic pause here) for social purposes” After we got back home, Dad handed me my knife and said simply “don’t take it to school son.”
@@dreamydailine and I've carried one everyday since. If my uncle John was still alive and asked me today, I would simply hand him my pocket knife and smile. He might even smile back.
My son used to carry his about, and had left it in his pocket by accident one day. Got pulled to the principal's office and I got a call (pre homeschool days). Luckily we live in a rural area and the principal was almost apologetic about having to call, she knew enough to know it was an accident and not malicious.
So sad. Since around the third grade or so, I can't remember a day at school, or college, or work, not having a pocket knife. Why no trouble? Because I never misused it. It was a tool, like my pencil or my calculator. I'm just young enough to have used a calculator near the end of high school, BTW.
It was once a tradition for the Grandfather to gave boys their first pocket knife. When I was 5 my Grandfather gave me a small pen knife. Was so proud to have it.
I feel like I relate to you on a very spiritual level these days. If it weren’t for you I don’t know what I’d do during these times. Edit: You are like a dad I never had. God bless.
I’m glad you have such great memories of your Grandad. I have 2 grand children and I hope my influence carries on for many years. I pray that years after I’m gone, they speak as highly of me as you do your grandad.
A little FYI, skinny jeans started following the coffee house culture, which originated in Seattle. Therefore the birth of skinny jeans happened on the West Coast. But don't worry, young men wear them everywhere, even in the south. The neo-hippy (hipster) movement is more prevalent on the west coast. California is full of them. It's getting harder to find boot-cut jeans these days.
Hey Mr. W! I've watched a lot of your videos and never commented. This video is a great Pro Tip! I'm a network technician and install data networks/cabling/internet connected devices for big companies, including the most popular retailers in the country, and My Hankie saves me Every Single Day! I wear it as a bandanna a lot of the time because I sweat a lot, but I've also used it for many of the things you mentioned in this video. I carry at least 3 clean ones in my work truck at all times and end up using them every single day. Then just a quick rinse in a sink or a quick wash wherever I am and they dry quickly and I'm back to business. I love this video. Great Pro Tip! This is a quality of life improvement video!
Been carrying them for a long while. A couple things to add: trying to reiterate, must be cotton. The nylon ones are worse than anything. No way to sop up blood, oil, etc, with anything but cotton. You also want about 10 of them-- when your wife comes to meet you in the garage and you use it to clean the oil off your hands, you're going to want a new one for the next day. Thanks!
Today is my birthday. I turned the big 40. I know it's sad but I come on here and tell everyone today's my birthday because I don't have any friends or family to tell me happy birthday...I know it's sad. It just makes me feel better to hear it from someone.
I was always taught to put it in my my front pocket my grandfather was very particular about that. He always said put your handkerchief in your front wallet in the front. He would lots of times where it in the field on the back of his neck if you look at traditional Dutch clothing you will see that they have handkerchief around their necks. He would also dry his klompen with them if they got wet. You're videos are always very informative . The traditional ways of life are fast disappearing. May lord bless you and keep you aswell brother.
Hey, Cody. You inspired me to start carrying a handkerchief a couple years ago, even though I carry a roll of paper towels and a tub of wet wipes in my personal pick up and work truck. I recently ordered and received a new six pack of 100% cotton handkerchiefs. They are Levi's brand and called bandanas on the packaging, unfortunately made in China. Cheers.
Reading through these comments...there is some outstanding stories here. It fully speaks to the character of the type of people this channel attracts and the quality of the viewers, and I appreciate it.
Ya know.. Ive been watching your videos for years. Ive grown up in an absent parent household, i was forced to develop who i want to be by feel. And im so thankful ive found your videos when i did. Im not 19 and about to work in my first wildland fire station. Thank you for being a father figure to me. A digital grand-dad if you will
I have my grandfather’s handkerchief in my safe. He passed when I was five but he’s who taught me how to hammer a nail and let me taste chewing tobacco the one and only time.
My dad let me a my brother chew tobacco once I was 8 and my brother was 7. Alittle while later we are sick and we wondered why my dad said your suppose to spit...............oh yeah.
My grandfather, man how I miss him, was my best friend, he taught me there were 3 things a man needs, handkerchief, a good fixed blade knife, sidearm. Love the video!
The old timers were smart. I think them going through the Depression they appreciated the little the could get and saved everything. My grandfather used to save all the screws, motor, tub, etc. out of old washing machines. Made a chick brooder out of an old wooden television set, used a clawfoot bath tub to water the cows, etc. I mean he saved everything.
I had an amazingly similar relationship with my grandfather. And when you make these videos it brings back so many memories it's awesome. Been watching you since almost day 1 and after unsubscribing to many others I find after all these years I get to wake up on Sunday and enjoy watching you on the porch drinking coffee. Thank you for your work and have a good week.
Only things I carry in My Pockets are Two Handkerchiefs. When I was a child I suffered a lot of Nose Bleeds, hence Mother insisting I carry a 2nd Handkerchief. Today, that 2nd Handkerchief is always available for use by an emotionally distressed Lady.
You dad and grand dad were old school cool. My old man said the same exact thing (except a gun was the third thing). I remember how much he loved his older hankies and always loved/hated getting new ones because the new ones had to be "broken in" and the old ones had been washed and used so many years they were incredibly soft. He could clean his glasses without scratching them or create a little shade for himself in the Texas sun all in one day. Love it!
My grandpa was right handed and carryed his wallet in his left back pocket, his wrist watch was on his left hand and his pocket knife was in his left pocket. He got a fresh paper towel every morning for his right back pocket. He said I carried everything wrong lol. Damn that man was a hard working fool from 4am to 8pm for 80 years. Hands like saddle leather and rebar.
Hard working men are no fools. Not then, not now. Your grandpa was a part of the backbone of this nation. It's on you now Rob. It's on all of us that remain.
@dysc I got them by mistake because I would've never paid that much for what I thought were just big wet wipes lol. Now I buy them on purpose because they're quality USA made.
I know you probably won't see this, but I'm an east coast boy that grew up basically without a dad, you've become that dad that I needed. I've bought about two dozen of them and I'm gonna carry them as you do
@@justinlalugski2083 yup especially since the type of men that wear them are thin scrawny men the best looking pants are only as good as your lower body's muscle level since pants are less varied than shirts and coats so your bodies architecture will have to make up for it.
@White Wild I don't even understand picking a side both coasts are mostly lefty hellholes frankly middle America is in trouble because people are gonna start fleeing the blue states and slowly converting the red states blue. Alaska will be probably be the freest state since it's so rough up there no one has time to feel bad for themselves.
East coast guy here, just moved to Maine after living in the southcoast of Massachusetts for 49 years, I've been carrying a handkerchief since I was about 18 and a pocket knife since I was 10 years old, two good recommendations by the way, i don't see a lot of people wearing skinny jeans, maybe more so girls than guys, please don't lump all of us east coasters into one back pocket, I think your thinking of the more urban area's just like anywhere throughout the country, most of the people I grew up around were hard working individuals who had morals and good natured spirits, continue making great videos, love your content.
For all sewing, use Stormy Kromer! I’ve visited the factory and the owner is awesome. They have a design team, make good wool clothes and employ Americans in a small Michigan Upper Peninsula Town.
My Pa used handkerchiefs all day, everyday. One in the chest pocket, one in the back pocket... when he died my granny took a sharpie and wrote, “this belonged to Pa” and the day he was born/died and gave one to everyone at the funeral that wanted one. Old country people, simple folk...
I saw this video when you originally uploaded and thought it might be a good idea to carry a bandana... two years later I just want to come back and say how useful it's been always having a handkerchief. From opening a hot car door to wrapping it around a cold ice scraper I have used it for more than just wiping sweat off my forehead. Good Call!
I live in a rather “populated” part of California. Reds, blues, and oranges are a big problem down here. So I stick to navy and black. Can’t get too expressive with the handkerchiefs...
I was thinking about this when Cody slipped the handkerchief into the pocket on the jeans and made the 'represent' comment. Some places, you can't just choose any old colour!
even over here in South Scotland wearing the wrong colour (blue, green, or white) can get you attacked because they are the colours of two rival Scottish football teams (yes really) and even the fans of each team hate each other, and even have gangs called "Firms"
@@birkabein birthday caird pish. If old firm attacks were that common nobody would be able to wear blue or green. South Scotland isn't South Central LA in 1990 😂
My grandfather had a handkerchief in his pocket every day of his life. Never had a knife tho, he was the most peaceful person I've ever known. I was devastated when he passed but I'm so grateful he didn't have to see the state of America today.
Odd, my father and grandfathers carried pocket knives, and we all are and were peaceful men. They are useful tools for daily life. My most carried, like my father, is a Swiss army knife. Most frequently used tool? Nail file.
I didn't take it that way. Your wording makes it sound as though his peaceful nature was offended by the knife as he viewed it as carrying a weapon, like today's school systems. I only had daughters, who both have one of their grandfather's pocket knives, but they don't carry one. It was a bit easier knowing they were forbidden to have one with them at school than it may have been if I had a son.
Your grandad was a class act I really like and appreciate the old timers way of living and as a young person I'm a odd ball for living like they did thank you Cody
You're not alone, I love learning from older folks and I'm 17. Everyone says I'm so mature; I don't think so of myself, but I am compared to most folks my age. I am around people in their 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's; they're either neighbors, friends, brethren, or family. I guess it rubs off on you. A joke my folks say, "You're an old man trapped in a young man's body."
Love the idea of running a little shop with American made products, especially with Jack in charge! So many people talk and complain but few act. Kudos to you guys.
My father’s dad always hand a handkerchief and his bone handled pocket knife. He passed when I was younger but I always remember him filing his nails and keeping things clean with his handkerchief.
I took up carrying a handkerchief while I lived in Japan as did the Japanese. Paper towels/hand driers were scarce, even in Tokyo. This was around 2009. I since kept up the habit and they come in "handy" all the time. Cheers!
Wish I could say the same in a way. (In that my legacy is lacking) my Grandfather in my father's side was a drunk, mean, cigarette hacking, degenerate man.... but my father... I hope to live up to my father one day. Now, he is quite the man. Despite growing up with aforementioned Grandfather, he is the most Godly, kind, generous, well mannered and wise man I've ever known. Its amazing what God can do with a life.
Started carrying a silk wild rag (a.k.a.. Big handkerchief) this winter working in North Dakota. Made a huge difference in the bitter cold. Silk is also naturally fire resistant which I have to wear in my line of work. (No cotton outer layers) Have used it this summer soaked in water around the back of my neck. In my opinion the bigger the silk hanky the better. P.S. enjoy all of your videos. Keep up the great content!
Yes! Such a simple handy thing that often gets overlooked. I used my black paisley one today as a head sweat band (not the style you showed lol, but karate kid style head band) for doing work out in the sun to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
Hi! I dearly LOVE when you do these types of videos. My Dad was the same exact way. He NEVER left the house without his hanky and his pocket knife. My Dad always carried a plain white hanky. Even though I'm a lady, he still taught me these same values. I still carry a pocket knife on me daily. The hanky not so much. LOL. His boots were ALWAYS pristine and polished. I also loved that video on how men should keep their boots & shoes. Everything you said is SO true about these things. THANK-YOU for doing these types of videos!! You're showing so many young men some GREAT values. Love you all! 💞.
Boots; the good ones that you buy for work and durability last as long as you need them to if you brush the dirt out of the seams daily and polish them often, you'll be amazes at how quickly they mold to your foot if you keep them supple.
I started carrying one of my dad's Case Trappers when I was about 10. My grandad always had a pack of Wrigley's Spearmint gum that he would share with my brother and I. I still have the Trapper but I don't carry it anymore. On the other hand, I don't go anywhere without a pack, or two, of Wrigley's Spearmint.
I have appreciated Wrigley's Spearmint Gum for the best part of sixty years. The stick gum is much better than the sugar coated stuff and you have the wrapper to dispose of the used gum.
I really don't mean to be picky and I know it's a lot of work but could you organize your playlist section? You have SO much content that it would be nice to say"oh,I really want to watch an ax video I seen a few months ago" but you need to search through so much other stuff. The reason I say this is because,this series,is something many people will refer back to over the years and it would nice to be able to go to a playlist named"things grandpa and dad taught me" or "simple things for daily life" or something like that. I really appreciate what you do.
Working with your family is the best thing !!! Me my brother my father and my uncle work together every day and its amazing, good hard working Americans
It’s cool to be seating out on the patio this morning and watching another wonderful video of a great story and memorable moment of Cody’s Granddad ... 👍👍. I love everyone of them.
Can I say the grandfather video is good, my grandfather passed away when my father was just about 10, my father passed away when I was a toddler, so this video is so deep to a person like me, be grateful for the time with your father and grandfather, Godbless,
I've never carried a hankerchief but I've always carried a knife. Now that I think of it, the amount of ways a hankerchief would help me in particular is insane. I work with kids so there's always a mess to be wiped up or a skinned elbow that needs something to brush the dirt off. Thanks Cody
He showed some footage of him in one video. Look up the video title “A scary hunting story” and the footage is at the end. But I would recommend watching the whole thing nonetheless.
I do enjoy your videos Cody. You really are a top bloke, i wish i was surrounded by people like you. Keep the videos coming From Ross in Taranaki, New Zealand.
A few years ago I was forever needing to return to my ute whilst working to get a pair of shears to cut trimmer line, sharpen pencils, etc for work both at home or on clients properties...I got to using my Swiss army knife, and pretty quickly came to see the value in securing it to my work pants with a length of thin cord. I never go anywhere now without it secure in this manner even though state laws/rules in my state of Victoria, Australia prohibit you from carrying knives around on your person unless it is clearly able to be demonstrated that it is for purposes of work. And we all know what some nanny state/ Safety Sally overly officious LEO's can be like. Ive never been pulled up yet but I'm fully expecting it to happen. Thanks Cody; I attribute at least in part to your influence on me this small though significant practice that I have introduced into my daily habits. It has saved me time and helped me get out of more than one tight spot over the past few years and handkerchiefs same.
To be honest, there are plenty of thing to disagree with wranglerstar about. Politics, church, weapons law, but there is also something to agree about, maintenance of your old tools, don't throw thing away just because it isn't new anymore......and this, I would like to see quality items from the states again. Especially gloves, shoes, boots, denim, hats and why not .... A handkerchief...in Europe we don't see American quality products anymore...we hardly see European quality either. Everything is made other places in the world, where price is the only thing that's matter... let's bring quality back.
W H Y am I watching Wranglerstars’ video on handkerchiefs....!! Because it’s just so nice and heartwarming!!! And, the more I watch it, very useful! 😁 Thanks for sharing this with us. I love this channel, wholesome and never anything vulgar, I love it!!
Man weird, I always have a handkerchief and my woman makes fun of me for carrying it around and calls me an old man(I’m 34)On my way into work this evening I used it to just blow my nose and I had the thought “I bet wranglerstar carries a handkerchief.” ...I go to check RUclips out and I see wranglerstar doing a video on handkerchiefs... firggin awesome! I carry a green one always because I come from a very Irish family. Ha also I am the same way about having clean dry hands because I work with my hands for a living.
oh man... I always love these... my English grand father's teachings where more about etiquette of the proper gentleman. I always value these but I love the knowledge of the "practical" man... Nowadays I feel like I being able able to be hands on is such an amazing set of skill (I have to thank my step dad for that ! I'm 20 now and i'm baffled how useless the men in my generation are... I've been christian for two years now and i started watching your channel around the same time, You will be in my prayers you and your family specially in these exiting times for you guys. Keep on preaching and teaching, God bless you !
I was very excited to see the subject of this video! I still have my USA made 100% cotton red bandana my Dad gave when I was 5, and I'm 28 now. It's still holding strong. Just this year it got a small hole in it. Had to get a couple of new ones to save the wear on my original. Stay safe! Hope your shoulder is healing quickly.
@@AJ-ri5ee Work puts me in multiple schools, admin buildings and health facilities. Increasing numbers of metal detectors and visual checks. Needed, due to the bad'uns, but bothersome for us good'uns. Makes regular carry of stronger tools impossible.
My dad always kept padlock through his bandana, he would use the lock to lock is motorcycle off when he walks away from it and the bandana was to keep him from forgetting the lock was on it. He kept in his back pocket even when he wasnt riding for The obvious reason of a handkerchief and Lock to keep it from falling out of your pocket and if need be it could double as a self-defense weapon with the lock. Ive started to do the same and it works well and isn't as much of a pain to carry as you would think
Mr. W you are wise beyond your years sir, I just started today carrying a handkerchief and thanks to you I was able to go shopping inside a business. I’m always forgetting my mask and hate carrying one around. Thank you for making us men just a touch more manly one video at a time. Your fellow firefighter brother -KingFish
I'll tell you what, if you and Jack start making your own American made products I'd buy them in a heart beat. It's hard to find good American products these days and I think with your following they'd sell great.
My number one use for the "hanky" _is_ the headband. It's good enough for Les Stroud so I gave it a go. I tried the baseball cap thing, but the sweat builds up then cascades down and makes life miserable for a glasses wearer. The "headband" (or whatever) wicks the sweat up and works so much better in the hot & humid mid-Atlantic region. Plus when I'm hiking or mowing I don't get konked in the noggin' by a tree limb like I do when wearing the cap.
When I was 11 I found a blue carhart bandana in the trash my dad threw away after work, all it had was some grease on it. I washed it and have had it now for 8 years always.
I like my Levi's (511 usually). Have worn only them since probably college time, 15 years ago. They're skinny jeans but I'm skinny and I think they look good. They're not skin tight but I hate loose fitting clothes nowadays so for me I think they work.
clamum there is a difference between well fitting jeans and fashion jeans. Companies make different cuts since people come in different sizes. I couldn’t get my leg into a pair of skinny jeans if my life depended on it.
Look up "DELI FRESH DESIGNS" IN DENVER CO, he hand makes his products on vintage sewing machines. Primarily makes fly fishing gear, but I have seen he makes other items too.
I have been carrying a traditional white handkerchief (15" x 15") for about forty years. Ever since I first read "The Hobbit" and Bilbo left without any. It made a big impact on my 10 year old mind. My father always carried one and my brother and I had some floating around our rooms. Just decided this was important and do not get dressed without putting one in my right back pocket. Stay safe, God Bless and good luck with your move. I can't wait to see the new homestead.
You know the value of what I'm saying better than I. For Jack's development in the working world, the hand skills, confidence, social understanding and discovery about oneself is built upon the experience of many jobs. All too often people settle and never keep striving to learn or grow. Working with the old man may be a logical and straightforward decision. But there is something to be said for taking the not so straightforward direction and rising to the challenges we never expected. Jack's going to make a fine upstanding man one day, you guys should be proud.
I learned the value of a knife and a bandana/hanky in cub scouts, and I always took those lessons with me whenever I venture into the wilderness be it fishing or hunting or whatever.
I was a welder for 40 years and in a pinch the bandana worked as a head covering under the hood. One of the best multiple use pieces of gear you can carry.
I soak mine in a mountain stream and wrap it around my neck like you showed. This is refreshing on those hot hiking days. I have multiple colors also. I do use it for a headband on a daily basis when I head out to do yard work, etc. It keeps the sweat out of my eyes.
I used to always have a hanker chief but I've boiled down my EDC since. Now I always have some tissues. It's good to know people still do it. Thanks for the vid.
My dad and grandpa were the same way. It didn't stick with me until recently. I've been carrying a pocket knife religiously for 12 years and a hanky for 2 years. The main reason I didn't carry a hanky was because they're too bulky. I figured out a way to make it more comfortable. Cut it in half diagonally. Sew a hem if you want, but it still works of you don't. Great video as always, sir!
Regarding your aversion to synthetic fibers, I've always felt the same way. I always wore 100% cotton growing up except in the winter. I remember when I was in the Army, and we changed from BDUs to ACUs and the brown cotton shorts went away, we were issued polyester shirts. I was constantly itchy, but couldn't ever find that shirt in a natural material. Now that I'm out, if I have to wear a synthetic shirt, I have to wear a cotton shirt underneath.
I carried a red bandana as a handkerchief for 30 years as a soldier and an additional 20 years as an elementary school teacher. Always a red bandana - I didn’t realize that it had become a hallmark. Most useful as you explained the many uses. I chose red because I was a medic and it didn’t show blood too bad. i wonder at how many young men I escorted to the nurses office over the years with bloody noses with my bandana to sop up the bleed - easy to wash out at the nurses station and throw in the laundry that night. I always carry a clean white linen handkerchief with my suit for formal events or mass.

Cody your really an inspiration to all of your viewers. I’m 12 and you have shown through your videos the right way to do things. I live on a horse farm in Pennsylvania. Now after watching your vids for 4 years, when my dad leaves for the barn and says “man I really don’t want to stack 400 bales of hay” I say “ me neither, Lets go” so thank you cody god bless you.

My grandfather was a marine, 25 ,year veteran, i remember the day he gave me my first gun ,i was 6 ,it was a bb gun , we lived in Arizona in the middle of nowhere, i run out shoot the first blue bird, or black bird can't remember the color, but he came out an said ,look boy ,if your going to shoot an animal it better be for food ,he made me eat that bird, I'll tell you what it's moments like that ,that make people i learned respect for life . You talking about life lesson made me think of that .
Always been my rule....You shoot it, you eat it.
first time i eat raw fish lol
I used to shoot Birds when I was a kid with my old single pump BB gun. Then the Lord put it on my heart one day what was going on!
It wasn't very personal because the birds always flew off.
One day I zeroed in on a bird & pulled the trigger but when I hit it instead of flying off it flew straight to the ground. I ran over to look at it. I had shot its bottom beak off and it was staring at me frantically huffing and puffing. I felt horrible and realized what I had to do! Somehow it never occurred to me that I was taking on a life of an animal by shooting it. Now I had to put this bird out of its misery so that it would quit suffering. I did that and then dug a grave for it and buried it & never shot another animal again after that. I was around seven years old. If it comes down to starving to death then, I would have to do it. I've never had to do that. I'm 50 years old now & I have always bought my food at the grocery store.. I have killed several chickens when I was a kid for food. We raised chickens for laying eggs and for eating. But to take an animal's life just for the sport of it, not for me!
Ronnie Pirtle Jr I suppose you probably wouldn’t understand that some other animal that might not be able to hunt so well probably benefits from the carcass of pests that are taken out by some people.
@@ronniepirtlejr2606 either way, eating involves death, whether you kill it or a slaughterhouse kills it, even if you're vegetarian, many animals are killed in the fields during a harvest
My daughter had a bad bicycle accident but because I had my handkerchief and I was quick to cover up the wound she persevered and didn’t know how bad it was, and walked the half mile or so back:) thank you Cody I relate a ton to your videos, you remind me of my grandpa thank you for teaching the world about these things
You’re not overdoing anything sir. There’s so much junk out here to watch, it’s refreshing to watch someone who is actually providing good content. Thank you
My father gave me similar advice. "A man must always have with him, at a bare minimum, the means to cut, to bind and to make fire." So yes, I always carry a Zippo, a combat folding knife and a keychain made from 550 cord. He also told me, "A gentleman always carries a handkerchief."
I miss him. He was a classic and classy guy.
Excellent video! My Grandfather always carried a hanky, a pocket knife or two and a pair of pliers. He wore overalls and the pockets were roomy. I still carry the same gear but sometimes I jam the pliers into the same pocket as my iPhone. Scratched a few screens. He always had one knife that had the blades sharpened down like ice picks. On the farm we were forever getting splinters and he used that knife and precision digging to remove the splinters. He then used the hanky to dry my tears.
If your reading this I hope you have a great day and if your in struggles you’ll find your path and make it through

Me: "Okay, $200-$400 for jeans."
*closes browser tab*
yeah I wear Key Bibs they are around $40 at the Key website, I don't spend $200 a year on clothes,
@@preacherjayk I get wrangler jeans. They last me 3-6 months while only having 2-3 pair a year or more if I have 4 or more pairs. No need to spend that much on pants.
Damn, you guys buy lots of pants
I've spent over 200$ on pants before. And if you make sure they are of the right quality, it's more of an investment because they will literally last you a life time. I have jeans that are well over 10 years. Use them for doing everything. Still going strong.

My great uncle John Howes was a Methodist Preacher, from a long line of Methodist preachers tracing back to before this nation got its start. He asked me, an 8 year old boy at time..” Ryan, hand me your pocket knife”
I very embarrassed answered, that I had one but wasn’t allowed to carry it. Mom said no.
He said he would bring it up at dinner.
6 hours later or so, we were at the dining room table, he had said the blessing, and at one point during the meal, he said quietly calmly and with the authority 80 years can give a man that has lived a good life “A man, or boy should always carry a pocket knife. You never know when it might come in handy. You might just need to cut some twine, you might need to core an apple, or (insert dramatic pause here) for social purposes”
After we got back home, Dad handed me my knife and said simply “don’t take it to school son.”
The school part tho hahahahahahhaha
@@dreamydailine and I've carried one everyday since. If my uncle John was still alive and asked me today, I would simply hand him my pocket knife and smile. He might even smile back.
My son used to carry his about, and had left it in his pocket by accident one day. Got pulled to the principal's office and I got a call (pre homeschool days). Luckily we live in a rural area and the principal was almost apologetic about having to call, she knew enough to know it was an accident and not malicious.
So sad. Since around the third grade or so, I can't remember a day at school, or college, or work, not having a pocket knife. Why no trouble? Because I never misused it. It was a tool, like my pencil or my calculator. I'm just young enough to have used a calculator near the end of high school, BTW.
It was once a tradition for the Grandfather to gave boys their first pocket knife. When I was 5 my Grandfather gave me a small pen knife. Was so proud to have it.
I feel like I relate to you on a very spiritual level these days. If it weren’t for you I don’t know what I’d do during these times.
Edit: You are like a dad I never had. God bless.
Love the idea of American made products. The fact that it comes from you means that I can trust it’s quality as well. I’d spend the money for sure.
I’m glad you have such great memories of your Grandad. I have 2 grand children and I hope my influence carries on for many years. I pray that years after I’m gone, they speak as highly of me as you do your grandad.
A little FYI, skinny jeans started following the coffee house culture, which originated in Seattle. Therefore the birth of skinny jeans happened on the West Coast. But don't worry, young men wear them everywhere, even in the south. The neo-hippy (hipster) movement is more prevalent on the west coast. California is full of them. It's getting harder to find boot-cut jeans these days.
Maybe u cand try a straight cut or a slim fit.
I can pull off a straight cut, not a slim though, too restricting.
Hey Mr. W! I've watched a lot of your videos and never commented. This video is a great Pro Tip! I'm a network technician and install data networks/cabling/internet connected devices for big companies, including the most popular retailers in the country, and My Hankie saves me Every Single Day! I wear it as a bandanna a lot of the time because I sweat a lot, but I've also used it for many of the things you mentioned in this video. I carry at least 3 clean ones in my work truck at all times and end up using them every single day. Then just a quick rinse in a sink or a quick wash wherever I am and they dry quickly and I'm back to business. I love this video. Great Pro Tip! This is a quality of life improvement video!
Been carrying them for a long while. A couple things to add: trying to reiterate, must be cotton. The nylon ones are worse than anything. No way to sop up blood, oil, etc, with anything but cotton. You also want about 10 of them-- when your wife comes to meet you in the garage and you use it to clean the oil off your hands, you're going to want a new one for the next day. Thanks!
I have horrible allergies, so I usually carry two on me so I have somewhere sanitary to blow my nose at all times.
Reminds me of my childhood. So much of what you say and do takes me back to my raising. This is the BEST channel on RUclips.
Today is my birthday. I turned the big 40. I know it's sad but I come on here and tell everyone today's my birthday because I don't have any friends or family to tell me happy birthday...I know it's sad. It just makes me feel better to hear it from someone.
Happy birthday! 🎂
Well happy birthday and it’s all down hill from here out I been 40 for 9 months and I feel 80 lol
Happy 40th in 2020!
Welcome to the club. Happy b day.
I’m in the same boat and surprisingly I’m right behind you in October I’ll be 40 too, so happy birthday friend 🎂
I was always taught to put it in my my front pocket my grandfather was very particular about that. He always said put your handkerchief in your front wallet in the front. He would lots of times where it in the field on the back of his neck if you look at traditional Dutch clothing you will see that they have handkerchief around their necks. He would also dry his klompen with them if they got wet. You're videos are always very informative . The traditional ways of life are fast disappearing. May lord bless you and keep you aswell brother.
Hey, Cody. You inspired me to start carrying a handkerchief a couple years ago, even though I carry a roll of paper towels and a tub of wet wipes in my personal pick up and work truck. I recently ordered and received a new six pack of 100% cotton handkerchiefs. They are Levi's brand and called bandanas on the packaging, unfortunately made in China. Cheers.
I'm 56 and since I was a teenager I always carried three things , a handkerchief, a watch, and a pocket knife. I love this video!
No headband? You must have never had sweat rolling off your forehead into your eyes !
Reading through these comments...there is some outstanding stories here. It fully speaks to the character of the type of people this channel attracts and the quality of the viewers, and I appreciate it.
“Have a hank” is THE 100 percent cotton, Made in the USA brand that you’re looking for. They’ve been around for a long time.
Just bought a 5 pack from them based on your Reply.👍
I like the Hav A Hank, but I also like Elephant brand when I find the made in the USA ones. Durable and soft.
Ya know.. Ive been watching your videos for years. Ive grown up in an absent parent household, i was forced to develop who i want to be by feel. And im so thankful ive found your videos when i did. Im not 19 and about to work in my first wildland fire station. Thank you for being a father figure to me. A digital grand-dad if you will
I have my grandfather’s handkerchief in my safe. He passed when I was five but he’s who taught me how to hammer a nail and let me taste chewing tobacco the one and only time.
My dad let me a my brother chew tobacco once I was 8 and my brother was 7. Alittle while later we are sick and we wondered why my dad said your suppose to spit...............oh yeah.
@@robroberts1473 😂
My grandfather, man how I miss him, was my best friend, he taught me there were 3 things a man needs, handkerchief, a good fixed blade knife, sidearm. Love the video!
The old timers were smart. I think them going through the Depression they appreciated the little the could get and saved everything. My grandfather used to save all the screws, motor, tub, etc. out of old washing machines. Made a chick brooder out of an old wooden television set, used a clawfoot bath tub to water the cows, etc. I mean he saved everything.
I had an amazingly similar relationship with my grandfather. And when you make these videos it brings back so many memories it's awesome. Been watching you since almost day 1 and after unsubscribing to many others I find after all these years I get to wake up on Sunday and enjoy watching you on the porch drinking coffee. Thank you for your work and have a good week.
Only things I carry in My Pockets are Two Handkerchiefs.
When I was a child I suffered a lot of Nose Bleeds, hence Mother insisting I carry a 2nd Handkerchief.
Today, that 2nd Handkerchief is always available for use by an emotionally distressed Lady.
You dad and grand dad were old school cool. My old man said the same exact thing (except a gun was the third thing). I remember how much he loved his older hankies and always loved/hated getting new ones because the new ones had to be "broken in" and the old ones had been washed and used so many years they were incredibly soft. He could clean his glasses without scratching them or create a little shade for himself in the Texas sun all in one day.
Love it!
My grandpa was right handed and carryed his wallet in his left back pocket, his wrist watch was on his left hand and his pocket knife was in his left pocket. He got a fresh paper towel every morning for his right back pocket.
He said I carried everything wrong lol.
Damn that man was a hard working fool from 4am to 8pm for 80 years. Hands like saddle leather and rebar.
Hard working men are no fools. Not then, not now. Your grandpa was a part of the backbone of this nation. It's on you now Rob. It's on all of us that remain.
@@trwsandford AGREED!!!!
@dysc I bought the Tub O' Towels from Walmart. They're a little expensive but if you buy them you'll fall in love, I keep them in my garage.
@dysc I got them by mistake because I would've never paid that much for what I thought were just big wet wipes lol. Now I buy them on purpose because they're quality USA made.
I know you probably won't see this, but I'm an east coast boy that grew up basically without a dad, you've become that dad that I needed. I've bought about two dozen of them and I'm gonna carry them as you do
I'd say there's more west coast people wearing skinny jeans lol
Very true especially california
i think skinny jeans look ridiculous on men
@@justinlalugski2083 yup especially since the type of men that wear them are thin scrawny men the best looking pants are only as good as your lower body's muscle level since pants are less varied than shirts and coats so your bodies architecture will have to make up for it.
Nice to see you say “people “ . You know how those West Coast people don’t prescribe themselves to an actual gender.
@White Wild I don't even understand picking a side both coasts are mostly lefty hellholes frankly middle America is in trouble because people are gonna start fleeing the blue states and slowly converting the red states blue. Alaska will be probably be the freest state since it's so rough up there no one has time to feel bad for themselves.
East coast guy here, just moved to Maine after living in the southcoast of Massachusetts for 49 years, I've been carrying a handkerchief since I was about 18 and a pocket knife since I was 10 years old, two good recommendations by the way, i don't see a lot of people wearing skinny jeans, maybe more so girls than guys, please don't lump all of us east coasters into one back pocket, I think your thinking of the more urban area's just like anywhere throughout the country, most of the people I grew up around were hard working individuals who had morals and good natured spirits, continue making great videos, love your content.
For all sewing, use Stormy Kromer! I’ve visited the factory and the owner is awesome. They have a design team, make good wool clothes and employ Americans in a small Michigan Upper Peninsula Town.
My Pa used handkerchiefs all day, everyday. One in the chest pocket, one in the back pocket... when he died my granny took a sharpie and wrote, “this belonged to Pa” and the day he was born/died and gave one to everyone at the funeral that wanted one. Old country people, simple folk...
I feel like skinny jeans are a west coast thing. Whether your east coast or that other coast, skinny jeans are not for men.
I mean...... who wouldn’t want to look like an ice cream cone tho?
I guess I’m not a man after all😢
That definitely came from West coast California
I have really big claves and I lost enough weight to wear my jeans are tight no matter what. So, that doesn't count right? Lol
Steven Alcaraz Thanks mate, I couldn’t agree more...
I saw this video when you originally uploaded and thought it might be a good idea to carry a bandana... two years later I just want to come back and say how useful it's been always having a handkerchief. From opening a hot car door to wrapping it around a cold ice scraper I have used it for more than just wiping sweat off my forehead. Good Call!
I live in a rather “populated” part of California. Reds, blues, and oranges are a big problem down here. So I stick to navy and black. Can’t get too expressive with the handkerchiefs...
I was thinking about this when Cody slipped the handkerchief into the pocket on the jeans and made the 'represent' comment. Some places, you can't just choose any old colour!
even over here in South Scotland wearing the wrong colour (blue, green, or white) can get you attacked because they are the colours of two rival Scottish football teams (yes really) and even the fans of each team hate each other, and even have gangs called "Firms"

You’re a legend. I wish you a long and happy life my friend. Thank you for everything.
My grandfather had a handkerchief in his pocket every day of his life. Never had a knife tho, he was the most peaceful person I've ever known. I was devastated when he passed but I'm so grateful he didn't have to see the state of America today.
Odd, my father and grandfathers carried pocket knives, and we all are and were peaceful men. They are useful tools for daily life. My most carried, like my father, is a Swiss army knife. Most frequently used tool? Nail file.
@@hondolane3125 I'm not saying only violent people carry pocket knives, I never leave the house without one.
I didn't take it that way. Your wording makes it sound as though his peaceful nature was offended by the knife as he viewed it as carrying a weapon, like today's school systems. I only had daughters, who both have one of their grandfather's pocket knives, but they don't carry one. It was a bit easier knowing they were forbidden to have one with them at school than it may have been if I had a son.
Your grandad was a class act I really like and appreciate the old timers way of living and as a young person I'm a odd ball for living like they did thank you Cody
You're not alone, I love learning from older folks and I'm 17. Everyone says I'm so mature; I don't think so of myself, but I am compared to most folks my age. I am around people in their 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's; they're either neighbors, friends, brethren, or family. I guess it rubs off on you.

Love the idea of running a little shop with American made products, especially with Jack in charge! So many people talk and complain but few act. Kudos to you guys.
My father’s dad always hand a handkerchief and his bone handled pocket knife. He passed when I was younger but I always remember him filing his nails and keeping things clean with his handkerchief.
I’ve been loving these recent videos thanks for finding interesting content to make while your shoulder heals
I took up carrying a handkerchief while I lived in Japan as did the Japanese. Paper towels/hand driers were scarce, even in Tokyo. This was around 2009. I since kept up the habit and they come in "handy" all the time. Cheers!
What an articulate and well spoken man! Keep up the great work Cody!
Yes sir I try every day to try and live up to my grandfather, I fall short most days.
keep trying one day you will wake up and realize you are more like him than you thought!
Me too brother
Dont we all...💜
Wish I could say the same in a way. (In that my legacy is lacking) my Grandfather in my father's side was a drunk, mean, cigarette hacking, degenerate man.... but my father... I hope to live up to my father one day. Now, he is quite the man. Despite growing up with aforementioned Grandfather, he is the most Godly, kind, generous, well mannered and wise man I've ever known. Its amazing what God can do with a life.
most, but not all
Started carrying a silk wild rag (a.k.a.. Big handkerchief) this winter working in North Dakota. Made a huge difference in the bitter cold. Silk is also naturally fire resistant which I have to wear in my line of work. (No cotton outer layers) Have used it this summer soaked in water around the back of my neck. In my opinion the bigger the silk hanky the better.
P.S. enjoy all of your videos. Keep up the great content!
Yes! Such a simple handy thing that often gets overlooked. I used my black paisley one today as a head sweat band (not the style you showed lol, but karate kid style head band) for doing work out in the sun to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
Hi! I dearly LOVE when you do these types of videos. My Dad was the same exact way. He NEVER left the house without his hanky and his pocket knife. My Dad always carried a plain white hanky. Even though I'm a lady, he still taught me these same values. I still carry a pocket knife on me daily. The hanky not so much. LOL. His boots were ALWAYS pristine and polished. I also loved that video on how men should keep their boots & shoes. Everything you said is SO true about these things. THANK-YOU for doing these types of videos!! You're showing so many young men some GREAT values. Love you all! 💞.
Boots; the good ones that you buy for work and durability last as long as you need them to if you brush the dirt out of the seams daily and polish them often, you'll be amazes at how quickly they mold to your foot if you keep them supple.
I started carrying one of my dad's Case Trappers when I was about 10. My grandad always had a pack of Wrigley's Spearmint gum that he would share with my brother and I.
I still have the Trapper but I don't carry it anymore. On the other hand, I don't go anywhere without a pack, or two, of Wrigley's Spearmint.
I have appreciated Wrigley's Spearmint Gum for the best part of sixty years. The stick gum is much better than the sugar coated stuff and you have the wrapper to dispose of the used gum.
I really don't mean to be picky and I know it's a lot of work but could you organize your playlist section? You have SO much content that it would be nice to say"oh,I really want to watch an ax video I seen a few months ago" but you need to search through so much other stuff. The reason I say this is because,this series,is something many people will refer back to over the years and it would nice to be able to go to a playlist named"things grandpa and dad taught me" or "simple things for daily life" or something like that. I really appreciate what you do.
For the bandana, for the final fold, I fold it into thirds. I find that it fits my back pocket better that way. I almost always carry one with me.
Working with your family is the best thing !!! Me my brother my father and my uncle work together every day and its amazing, good hard working Americans
It’s cool to be seating out on the patio this morning and watching another wonderful video of a great story and memorable moment of Cody’s Granddad ... 👍👍. I love everyone of them.
Can I say the grandfather video is good, my grandfather passed away when my father was just about 10, my father passed away when I was a toddler, so this video is so deep to a person like me, be grateful for the time with your father and grandfather, Godbless,
great info 🇺🇸

I've never carried a hankerchief but I've always carried a knife. Now that I think of it, the amount of ways a hankerchief would help me in particular is insane. I work with kids so there's always a mess to be wiped up or a skinned elbow that needs something to brush the dirt off. Thanks Cody
We need a photo of Grandad!
He showed some footage of him in one video. Look up the video title “A scary hunting story” and the footage is at the end. But I would recommend watching the whole thing nonetheless.

A few years ago I was forever needing to return to my ute whilst working to get a pair of shears to cut trimmer line, sharpen pencils, etc for work both at home or on clients properties...I got to using my Swiss army knife, and pretty quickly came to see the value in securing it to my work pants with a length of thin cord. I never go anywhere now without it secure in this manner even though state laws/rules in my state of Victoria, Australia prohibit you from carrying knives around on your person unless it is clearly able to be demonstrated that it is for purposes of work. And we all know what some nanny state/ Safety Sally overly officious LEO's can be like. Ive never been pulled up yet but I'm fully expecting it to happen.
Thanks Cody; I attribute at least in part to your influence on me this small though significant practice that I have introduced into my daily habits. It has saved me time and helped me get out of more than one tight spot over the past few years and handkerchiefs same.
To be honest, there are plenty of thing to disagree with wranglerstar about. Politics, church, weapons law, but there is also something to agree about, maintenance of your old tools, don't throw thing away just because it isn't new anymore......and this, I would like to see quality items from the states again. Especially gloves, shoes, boots, denim, hats and why not .... A handkerchief...in Europe we don't see American quality products anymore...we hardly see European quality either. Everything is made other places in the world, where price is the only thing that's matter... let's bring quality back.
W H Y am I watching Wranglerstars’ video on handkerchiefs....!! Because it’s just so nice and heartwarming!!! And, the more I watch it, very useful! 😁 Thanks for sharing this with us. I love this channel, wholesome and never anything vulgar, I love it!!
Man weird, I always have a handkerchief and my woman makes fun of me for carrying it around and calls me an old man(I’m 34)On my way into work this evening I used it to just blow my nose and I had the thought “I bet wranglerstar carries a handkerchief.” ...I go to check RUclips out and I see wranglerstar doing a video on handkerchiefs... firggin awesome! I carry a green one always because I come from a very Irish family. Ha also I am the same way about having clean dry hands because I work with my hands for a living.
oh man... I always love these... my English grand father's teachings where more about etiquette of the proper gentleman. I always value these but I love the knowledge of the "practical" man...

My father carried a pocket knife and a hanky his entire life. I in turn have carried them myself.
Same here.
I was very excited to see the subject of this video! I still have my USA made 100% cotton red bandana my Dad gave when I was 5, and I'm 28 now. It's still holding strong. Just this year it got a small hole in it. Had to get a couple of new ones to save the wear on my original. Stay safe! Hope your shoulder is healing quickly.
Mid aged female...fully agree.
The idiots and bad people causing higher security have made the edc of a pocket knife a trickier thing. 😒
Where are ya having issues carrying?
@@AJ-ri5ee Work puts me in multiple schools, admin buildings and health facilities. Increasing numbers of metal detectors and visual checks. Needed, due to the bad'uns, but bothersome for us good'uns. Makes regular carry of stronger tools impossible.
They do make very strong plastic and ceramic knives to cure that. Obviously concealed means concealed and your safety is number 1.
Victoinoxes are generally quite unthreatening, you can get away with a decently sized knife without neurotics freaking out.
@@dagneytaggart7707 that would sure make it hard.
My dad always kept padlock through his bandana, he would use the lock to lock is motorcycle off when he walks away from it and the bandana was to keep him from forgetting the lock was on it. He kept in his back pocket even when he wasnt riding for The obvious reason of a handkerchief and Lock to keep it from falling out of your pocket and if need be it could double as a self-defense weapon with the lock. Ive started to do the same and it works well and isn't as much of a pain to carry as you would think
" you're representing" haha... outstanding
Rep!
I laughed at that one too.😂
Mr. W you are wise beyond your years sir, I just started today carrying a handkerchief and thanks to you I was able to go shopping inside a business. I’m always forgetting my mask and hate carrying one around. Thank you for making us men just a touch more manly one video at a time. Your fellow firefighter brother -KingFish
I'll tell you what, if you and Jack start making your own American made products I'd buy them in a heart beat. It's hard to find good American products these days and I think with your following they'd sell great.
My number one use for the "hanky" _is_ the headband. It's good enough for Les Stroud so I gave it a go. I tried the baseball cap thing, but the sweat builds up then cascades down and makes life miserable for a glasses wearer. The "headband" (or whatever) wicks the sweat up and works so much better in the hot & humid mid-Atlantic region. Plus when I'm hiking or mowing I don't get konked in the noggin' by a tree limb like I do when wearing the cap.
When I was 11 I found a blue carhart bandana in the trash my dad threw away after work, all it had was some grease on it. I washed it and have had it now for 8 years always.
Wow, thats actually pretty cool. Must have alot of sentimental value to it by now.
Rj SKUM wouldn’t trade it for $1000 haha.
another great Video so many memories related to these habits taught by great men in my life thank you for allowing me to reminisce.
I’ve never heard of sugar cane pants. How do they compare to Levi’s 501’s? I’m assuming they are higher quality but what about the fit/style?
I like my Levi's (511 usually). Have worn only them since probably college time, 15 years ago.
They're skinny jeans but I'm skinny and I think they look good. They're not skin tight but I hate loose fitting clothes nowadays so for me I think they work.
clamum there is a difference between well fitting jeans and fashion jeans. Companies make different cuts since people come in different sizes. I couldn’t get my leg into a pair of skinny jeans if my life depended on it.
Great idea to have jack working on wranglerstar merch. Lots of potential with all your original ideas.
Look up "DELI FRESH DESIGNS" IN DENVER CO, he hand makes his products on vintage sewing machines. Primarily makes fly fishing gear, but I have seen he makes other items too.
I have been carrying a traditional white handkerchief (15" x 15") for about forty years. Ever since I first read "The Hobbit" and Bilbo left without any. It made a big impact on my 10 year old mind. My father always carried one and my brother and I had some floating around our rooms. Just decided this was important and do not get dressed without putting one in my right back pocket. Stay safe, God Bless and good luck with your move. I can't wait to see the new homestead.
But when you're in LA, choose your color wisely.
Is white okay ?
You know the value of what I'm saying better than I. For Jack's development in the working world, the hand skills, confidence, social understanding and discovery about oneself is built upon the experience of many jobs. All too often people settle and never keep striving to learn or grow. Working with the old man may be a logical and straightforward decision. But there is something to be said for taking the not so straightforward direction and rising to the challenges we never expected. Jack's going to make a fine upstanding man one day, you guys should be proud.
Never leave home without a pocketknife & a cotton hankie 😁
I got long hair I only wear them to keep hair from my eye... and my fav wwe wrestler wear em so I started to... hopefully I don’t run into trouble
I one day hope to be the grandfather you describe in your videos. So wholesome.
Sugar cane jeans!! Can’t be serious
I learned the value of a knife and a bandana/hanky in cub scouts, and I always took those lessons with me whenever I venture into the wilderness be it fishing or hunting or whatever.
29 thumbs down 👎. I’ll pray for them. Only Jesus could redeem such a lost soul.
Amen

@Chris Landry where's the flying spaghetti monster now that we need him/her/it, # POLITICAL NEUTRAL ENTITY.
@Chris Landry okay ima bow b4 jumba wumba but I'm into no aftalife so's I got a shot at poltergism.I'm not much on wardrobe & I like working 3rd shift
I was a welder for 40 years and in a pinch the bandana worked as a head covering under the hood. One of the best multiple use pieces of gear you can carry.
I soak mine in a mountain stream and wrap it around my neck like you showed. This is refreshing on those hot hiking days. I have multiple colors also. I do use it for a headband on a daily basis when I head out to do yard work, etc. It keeps the sweat out of my eyes.
My granddaddy was born in 1879. He lived to 1969.. his thing was a pocket knife...Barlow...he taught me to sharpen a knife...thanks for the video.
I used to always have a hanker chief but I've boiled down my EDC since. Now I always have some tissues. It's good to know people still do it. Thanks for the vid.
My dad and grandpa were the same way. It didn't stick with me until recently. I've been carrying a pocket knife religiously for 12 years and a hanky for 2 years. The main reason I didn't carry a hanky was because they're too bulky. I figured out a way to make it more comfortable. Cut it in half diagonally. Sew a hem if you want, but it still works of you don't. Great video as always, sir!
Regarding your aversion to synthetic fibers, I've always felt the same way. I always wore 100% cotton growing up except in the winter. I remember when I was in the Army, and we changed from BDUs to ACUs and the brown cotton shorts went away, we were issued polyester shirts. I was constantly itchy, but couldn't ever find that shirt in a natural material. Now that I'm out, if I have to wear a synthetic shirt, I have to wear a cotton shirt underneath.
What a breath of fresh air, nice to know they're human beings still left in this world.
