I’m from Holmes County but live in Florida now. You must have made quite a splash there, plenty of folks knew there was a famous guy roaming around documenting. Heck I heard about it all the way down here. Had to find it and watch. You did my hometown proud, Peter.
The stock market is doing well because of it's good hedge against inflation, and it's easier than ever people to buy stocks. More buyers competing for the same stocks mean higher valuations.
@Avery Peter's Currently over 100% on ADA at the moment and loving it, good thing is people are getting to know cash is pretty much stone age point, put your money in the market.
I live less than an hour from the largest population of Amish in the U.S. and I assume the world and I'm still completely submerged in Peter's videos in Amish country. That said I'm also fascinated by his videos in Pakistan or and elsewhere. I'm sure many of the more liberal Amish would be too. The interest and even admiration definitely goes both ways.
@Abhishek Bais There is still millions of Hindus in Pakistan. The decrease of Hindu population happened in Bangladesh, not Pakistan. Also, if you look at the demographic of Pakistan, you’ll see that Pakistan have the 2nd highest or 3rd highest number of Shia in the country. You’ll find that there is so many ethnic diversity in Pakistan, Punjabis, Sindhi, Balochi, Brahui, Pashtun, Hindokowan, Saraiki, Shina, Khowar, Balti and much more,
My family is fortunate to live within an hour’s drive of this community. The food, flea markets, bulk stores, cheese products, produce stands, furniture stores, meat stores, scenery and (most of all) genuine hospitality of the Amish community is like nowhere else I know.
Travel channel is about advertising, Peter is about truth. Corporate TV will buy out a channel, and it is always about quantity of income, instead of quality. Prime example ABC News, ESPN and Vice (all owned by Disney Media Corporation to push an agenda)
The key word in that statement is ALL. everyone works and contributes. A large percentage of americans have purposely confused welfare with “looking out for one another”. That is NOT what is happening here.
I love Peter's city boy strut in those Amish clothes. Too funny. Like John Travolta in Saturday night live going down the street in Amish clothes. You go peter!!
That was too funny, i was thinking the same thing, Peter is just too cool, he can pull off anything :) 🎼you can tell by the way i use my walk 🎶im a womans man 🎶no time to talk🎵🎵 ... Lol
I've watched the whole series on the Amish Community and I'm blown away by how happy, humble and generous everyone is. I didn't know much about the Amish before watching this, so thank you, Peter! I'm kindly jealous of their lifestyle and wish i could escape the craziness here in the UK and live a life in such a tight Community. In all seriousness I think these people live the best life in this day and age. I appreciate the way you presented the whole series without putting a spin on it but just rather inform people like me that didnt know more than what's usually mentioned about the Amish. Amazing stuff.
ya I like the series , nice content . So I was wondering what their views are on clothing items like shorts or short jeans , I grow up in a culture where you don't wear shorts and you don't wear anything tight , mostly loose fit and stuff , it was mostly jeans or regular long pants that people wore , I'm no longer religious or anything but I was wondering what their views are on different clothing styles . We also were banned from drinking alcohol , I wonder how the Amish view drinking and stuff . Honestly I don't have a problem with the whole horse riding thing , I'm fine with it , its also good for the environment because your not releasing garbage into the air , its not particle for me but good for them
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 The Amish men will not wear shorts outside of the home and the women will always wear a dress. Beer is acceptable in certain communities but in moderation.
I've been seriously thinking about joining them over the last few years. I've always loved the lifestyle. The way the world is now they have much more to offer.
@@michelleturner6865 Keep in mind, like Peter said himself, don't just think that this is all Amish is. There are always side affects. If you are able to handle not being connected to the outside world and separating yourself from friends and stuff, maybe you could consider it. I see the appeal, but personally I feel that there are more things for me to do in this world than live somewhere and not think about the world outside.
@@michelleturner6865 I'm really considering joining them myself. I only don't know what Im going to do regarding the church since Im agnostic but other than that I love most things the modern Amish represent, using technology only for the benefits of it without abusing it. No violence in their community, no drugs, no crime, no fear. And also living in such a harmony with nature and your community, I didn't even think something like that was possible before watching this. I'm going to need a wife tho 😂
Friend of mine put his car in a ditch one winter, the Amish hitched on and pulled him out with 2 horses, no joke 😂 very kind people and we do business with them regularly in Clare, MI.
I love cruising around Clare in all seasons. Have seen barn raising and home building and have stopped at as many sales tables as possible to by home and hand made goods. They are lovely polite and kind people who deserve our respect.
I'm in the military, currently stationed in North Carolina, and I have watched every single episode of this Amish series. I'm originally from Wayne County, Ohio and while I already knew a good amount about the Amish just from interactions in daily life, this series has really made me feel like I was back home at a time when I desperately needed it. Thank you Peter for bringing me a little piece of home.
You can really see how much has changed between some of your first interactions with them to now. They have really welcomed you into their lives and a big part of that comes from you being completely open to theirs. You’ve made life long friends in Brian and the Amish people, just as you did with Shloime and the Hasidic Jews. You’re living a cool life brother and you seem like a good bloke to have a couple beers with. Cheers from Australia.
@task force whiskyyeah you can really see these guys are stone cold evil ay mate ? Get a grip. Wed take them in aussie any day of the week, we need more hard working farmers.
I did some work in Holmes County Ohio recently and every Amish person I came in contact with treated me with the upmost respect and was extremely helpful to me. They are definitely doing things much better than we we are in general society.
@@HELLNAWW why would you ask them that? They have their own rules, the same as Muslims. Why every liberal and Westic person think that everyone no matter their culture or religion have to think like you guys.
@@Imperius01. So you think hanging someone because his skin is brown colored or because he is gay is okay and just a "cultural difference". Really makes a lot of sense.
Anybody else tempted to quit the city life to go join this wonderful community of Amish? I’m 25 and I remember as a kid thinking how ‘boring’ their lives must be and how they’re probably jealous of our tech-filled lifestyle. When in reality, it was me who is jealous of them and their lifestyle! Such a community oriented and genuinely good group of people unlike many lukewarm Christians of today. Peter, you deserve the world bro. Thank you for always being non-bias in your journalism in this world filled with fake news. Great video as always, keep them coming(but take sometime to enjoy the fruits of your success & light one up of that sticky icky). Much love bro 😜
While it looks amazing, there is a whole other side to it. If you're interested there is a documentary series hosted by former-Amish Joseph Graber called Breaking the Silence. It goes behind the scene to the darker sides of Amish culture. A hybrid would be nice.
@@tashaforbes6274 its definitely sad to think about how some poor people will get picked at for minuscule things...I watched one where this lady was sewing all the ladies bonnets in town but the rabbi kept telling her hers was not right...and when your that tightly knit of a community..being shunned or banned is a pretty serious affair...i think the mennonite are where its at or the hutterite look pretty awesome to as they live in like a commune...they have their own small homes kinda like townhomes or duplexes but also a commercial kitchen where 3 meals a day are prepared for the community..Gardens where all(well not all) the food is grown..each community has some business that the Guys run...it looks pretty awesome
You have destroyed all negative stereotypes of the Amish and what we are left with is positivity and happiness. These people are amazing, thanks for your insight. I’ve made positive changes in my own life because of these people. Thanks and please make these videos longer :)
@@jaycaw3015 The only thing negative about the Amish is the negativity towards them. People can't seem to accept the fact that people exist with morals, religion and don't rely on the Government.
@@jaycaw3015 There are animal welfare negativity floating around concerning puppy farms, treatment of horses, old, injured, unwanted horses going to the slaughter pipeline. But I don't think this is representative.
I have yet to see someone who records and reports minorities the way Peter does. This goes to show that fair reporting sells. Peter, I hope you know the good that your videos does for the world by reducing hatred between groups. You are a true reporter because you are the opposite of creating drama. And because you say it as it is. I'm sure your family is very proud.
@@Ranstone I've heard nothing but positive feedback on every single post of his. I find his videos informative, interesting and he is always respectful. No matter where he is.
Peter, it needs to be said: I found your channel through the Chassidic series, specifically the Shabbat dinner video which popped up randomly on my feed. What you’re doing is here probably the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips. What you’re providing here is what people typically have to travel for, and most of us don’t have the means or the time. And even if we can explore the world, meaningfully penetrating these communities we aspire to learn about is usually too difficult for the average traveler. I’ve learned so much about life itself learning about these different cultures. I take mental notes about every community you present; how to live more simply from the Amish, how to structure family raising from the Jewish, how to overcome environmental challenges from your Brooklyn videos, and so on. This is how we overcome cultural and religious hate. Of course these communities have their internal problems, but I’ve learned that these groups that are often punchlines in the Western world are beautiful, and there’s a reason they’ve survived. Thank you.
@@PeterSantenello Any chance of you going to the dutch Bible belt after Covid is over? It would be a very interesting to see how they and the amish differ, they split almost 400 years ago but the core of the religion is still pretty much the same and they are also pretty seperated from the rest of the dutch population(they dont use horses anymore).
Peter, you make a fine looking Amish man. When you donated the items back at the auction, I had tears. You are such a good person. Thank you and may God bless you all of your life.🙏❤️
The Amish sense of community puts regular society to shame. Thank you for your series of videos showing an unbiased view of how they live. It's great to see how they look out for each other.
@@Johnrider1234 That is kinda what I was going to say. I see this one guy shorts about his growing up with old world Amish and the abuse they have with in the community.
@@kameljoe21 the amish sell an image so they can sell more garbage to tourists like most of the commenters here. they rely on the image of "good old fashioned" people who are just above the "worldliness" (as the top commenter put it), when in reality their society is run by patriarchal pigs that molest their own daughters routinely. inbreeding is rampant in amish communities because of all the abuse. the idea that the amish are just saints on earth who have eschewed the world in favor of good values is completely fabricated.
the trade off would be removing all electronics from the world. Regular people are scarred and minds destroyed from social media. You could go live that way at any time, it's your choice!
I have been near Amish all my life. Live in NW Ohio now with Amish near us. Became (modern) Mennonite as an adult. This is the most respectful, responsible and accurate look at Amish communities I have ever seen. Thank you, Sir, for your fine work and generous heart. You are a standout, not just on RUclips! If you get an opportunity to go to Shipshewana, go to Mennonite Hof. Hope you got your wife a quilt! BTW, have you heard of the Hutterites?
I too have reached out to Peter to see if he can explore the Hutterite Communities also. I think alot of people do not realize Hutterite Communities exist in America.
@@jenjenb1209 I watch a couple of hutterites utube vlogs,they also are just so giving and hard working. Peter is definitely getting the word out that the majority of ppl are good and honest hard working ppl and like any culture, community, race whatever good & bad exists in all,its so easy for ppl to see the bad and remember it but easily forget the good..community living has a lot to be said for it.
@@janeevans4758 I also watch a couple yt channels also. They seem to be very loving caring people as well. I think a day in the life of a Hutterite lady/man from Peter's perspective would be so interesting. I also would like to see if he could go speak with Montana Haven on yt. The husband's father I believe broke off from the Amish and created an Anabaptist community. So interesting
I came from Massachusetts for a sale in Mt Hope. I stopped at a hardware store to ask directions. A young Amish man said "follow us" and he had his driver go miles out of their way to take me where I was going. I always remember that kindness.
Thank you for doing all these Amish videos! I'm a Yoder and my dad was raised Amish and grew up in Holmes County. He eventually moved down to Plain City, where I was born and raised (live in Texas now). A lot of my relatives are still Amish and live in Holmes County. The Mt Hope Auction is a huge part of my childhood. They have another similar one but for kidney-related health that was actually started by my grandmother. I remember going up every year to help with food and several other things. One of my fondest memories. We spent a lot of time in Holmes County with my Amish relatives when I was young. All these videos bring back such great memories! Also, my grandparents had a home right there in Pinecraft where you were in Florida. We would go down every spring break and stay with them. I just love the great job you did with portraying the Amish. For so long, there have been so many shows that portray the Amish the wrong way. This definitely helps debunk a lot of myths and false information those shows have started.
@@jackieyoung3359 They left because too much of the teachings centered around works-based salvation (meaning you have to earn your way into Heaven) and they believed there is nothing you can do to earn your way in, that it is a free gift. And, yes! A lot of my family is still Amish and we have always been welcomed with open arms. For as long as I can remember (I'm 44), all of our family get-togethers have always had a lot of Amish there. My uncle (who was still Amish up until his death a couple years ago) and his family would often host our yearly family reunions at their farm in Sugarcreek. We actually just had one there 2 years ago and it was half Amish half "English."
AScottayoder I was raised in NE Ohio Geauga Co (Middlefield, Parkman, Burton area) & my grandfather (Robert "Bob" Ohl) was the auctioneer in Middlefield @ the Livestock Auction. My father hunted all around the Holmes Co area & we all at 1 time or another had a taxi service for the Amish. Every year we took a group at Christmas to the Metzenbaum Center as some of their family who had mental handicaps put on a Program & my grandpa used to take whichever grandkids (I went w/him for many years) to support our Amish friends and neighbors. I now have lived in Tx for almost 20 yrs & before that spent many yrs on Columbus' far westside & drove through Plain City regularly, but miss the community dearly, (not the cold weather,lol) I thought I'd say hello from 1 Buckeye to another, & I'll bet we both have some great stories we could share, ie like the 1st time I saw a buggy going thru the drive thru of McDonald's in the early 80's. Peter does some of the best videos & we each had our reflections of memories watching this one. Blessings....
Peter I think you have one of the best “YT sites” ever created! You teach and show everyone so much about the “cultural differences” with an inside look of how others live in this big old world, for those who can’t travel like myself the way you produce content is almost like we get to experience with you as if we were there. Your talent is amazing & keep up the awesome content!
The Amish are NOT the most empathetic people you will ever meet when it comes to animal welfare. They will take care of their horses and cattle only as much as it takes to keep them working and producing. A buggy horse might be tied up for hours in the hot sun with no shade or water, tormented by flies because the owners won’t put fly spray on them. I’ve never seen my neighbors call a veterinarian. If an animal is sick they usually only try some home remedy. Sometimes it works, usually it doesn’t. That applies mostly to horses, cattle, and other livestock. As for cats and dogs, they are not pets. You’ll never see one inside the home or even in a doghouse and they don’t buy dog/cat food for them. They just wander about the place and are expected to feed themselves on whatever they can scrounge up. They find shelter in whatever place they can, whether it is -20 or 95 outside. The Amish will not interact with them by talking to them (other than an order) or petting them. They are never spayed or neutered so you can expect to see litter after litter running around the barnyard. Very few will survive past a year or two. Some buy a dog from a breeder for varmint control. Those are the puppy mills that others have mentioned. I’ve seen one or two of those mills and I can’t imagine a worse place to live. Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherds are common varmint dogs. And as for outright cruelty, that’s more common than you might think. I’ve seen Amish beat a recalcitrant horse or dog mercilessly. I once saw our neighbor kids tormenting a small kitten while it cried and cried (I never saw that kitten again).
It’s so wonderful to see an informative documentary about a community without all of the criticism and sarcasm that you see in “mainstream” media. You’re doing such a great service for all of us, Peter! Thank you!
@@TonyRule Well the Amish have a little Genetic bottleneck problem, but other communties have much bigger problems with that. As for the Cult question, you are right its not a Cult, its just another school of one of the 3 mainstream christian churches. their Religion is only extreme in the Rejection of modern Technology, but that is to be expected when the other part of their church went for hyper capitalism with affinity for technology.
@@nox5555 I've seen no evidence for this claimed genetic bottleneck. I posted a link to evidence for another group that despite its size does have that problem, but I see that has been purged. It must have carried too many facts.
You look great in the Amish clothing. Was so nice of you to donate all the stuff you bought, back to the cause. Very generous. Didn’t think you really needed those things, but at first thought you were buying for Brian and his mom. Great series. Love it, and thanks so much for sharing.
Well done Peter for highlighting the other side. Love this format because it’s seeing the side you wouldn’t get to see. I’d love to visit one day from Dubai. It feels so refreshingly different. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Dubai hahah The Gulf is very modern If you think women dressed skimpy in public is a symbol of being modern then you will not find that unless you are a woman and go into women’s only circle Otherwise everything in Gulf is ultra modern
I loved this series, Peter! Exceptional! I can’t wait to see what else you make for content! Also, very kind to donate all that! Have a great day! Thanks for making us smile with awesome videos!
We have worked for some old order Mennonites in Cynthiana Ohio for almost 3 years now hauling trusses and lumber, without a doubt THE BEST job we've ever had, my husband prefers working with/for the Amish and especially old order Mennonites, overall more honest than Englishers. They've let us into their lives and invited us to some family events, really amazing community and a huge thank you to Auker's Custom Truss for being the best guy we've ever worked for!
Yeah that was pretty cool. I've seen people do that at other charity auctions. Or they will match a high bid on something just to give. It's nice to see the community come together. need more of this in the Country.
I’m really enjoying this series on the Amish. What I discovered from this series was that the Amish are not about living in the past but are about FAMILY. Family values that extend to include your neighbors and entire community. No one is left out in the cold.
I cried when I saw you donating all that stuff back. Peter, you're loved everywhere you go because people can see your kind heart and selfless way of being. I've learned so much through watching you. Thank you for all that you're doing. Love from Romania ❤️
Learn the love from Jesus the 1 who they live by and it shows Right You also can have this Joy That the world cant give That comes from loving Jesus and living everyday to just do his will.
@@vitocorleone8323 It's almost as if the Amish aren't a bunch of disingenuous, polarising, manipulative mongrels hell bent on injecting division in the world for their own means and ends, unlike the other group...
I do! We moved a few years ago to an IN Amish country during Covid. There was something comforting being around Amish during that unsettling time. Just felt so safe.
Just a wonderful series. Can’t get enough. Such an insight into their world. Plus I haven’t seen Peter smile so hard in a while. He’s enjoying the hospitality. I’d like to see a video of his first day back to the English world. He’s been at such a slow pace for a while now, he’ll def see a difference when he leaves. Keep em coming Peter. Excellent work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well to be a bit of critic - Peter hasn't left his English world just by spending a few hours hanging around with the Amish. If he did it for a whole year that would be different.
@@LarryKapp1 Obviously after a year being fully immersed there would have to be a major difference. But I respectfully disagree. I think he’ll notice the change dramatically. I know I sure would! Just seeing how he’s acting and having been disconnected from the outside world in a short period of time can give you a new perspective on life. There’s always little things we can take with us and apply to our busy lives. Should one want to of course.
I’ve always had good interactions with the Amish. They’ve got the best selection in our farmers market. They quit offering plastic bags way before it was cool. A while ago I found out they don’t drive. I was at staples and an Amish woman came up to me and asked if I could drive her to the fabric store just down the road. Of course I did, I got a little fabric too. We had a good chat, it was an unexpected but fun experience.
Peter you fit right in! Very kind and generous of you to donate. The Amish people have great souls. Enjoying your journey and experience through the Amish culture. Pennsylvania Amish Country here. Take care.
I want to thank you Peter for doing this series. It honestly brought me a lot of personal happiness to view this series . These people are so kind and humble and I found them and you incredibly refreshing during these trying times. I also was able to see that you have a natural affinity for the Amish. I do as well. I have so much respect for these communities.
You definitely suit being an Amish person, Peter! I couldn’t stop giggling at the lady fitting you for your outfit…. I think she was getting weak at the knees. Awesome video and I was absolutely mesmerised by the auctioneer!!! Bravo! 💫❤️
When I return to America, I'm gonna find one of these Amish auctions, buy a lot of high-ticket stuff and donate them back.I can't believe I grew up in Pennsylvania, saw a lot of Amish, Mennonites and Bruderhof's in my time...but never knew they were such generous, kind and caring people. Thank you, Peter, for making these videos. I've thoroughly enjoyed the entire Amish series. Your RUclips channel deserves an Emmy and Peabody.
When I was watching your first videos in this series I was really hoping you'd be able to get in on an Auction or Wedding. Those two things are the best feelings in their culture. Everyone coming together and being a tight community. 1000 likes for this series! It's been so enjoyable to see it again after a few years being away. (I'm English but spent a few years as a teenager in an Amish community) I love the peace and community of the Amish. Most of us English don't have this kind network and love for each other.
I definitely feel our "English" society is lacking the Amish way of commitment to the community, willing to help the neighbors, care about something other and bigger than just their family. Of course we have lots of volunteer services and initiatives but I'm talking about the people just talking care of each other. Great that there are the communities out there that still value this.
Have been to many Amish auctions as well as non-Amish auctions. My hubby is the buyer, I am the people watcher. At one Amish auction I watched as an Amish man rode a fabulous leopard spotted Appaloosa stallion down the road to the auction. The man had that horse on after burners! They arrived and the rider cooled the horse out by walking back and forth in front of the farm where the sale was. Once cooled Mr. Speedy Amishman put the horse in a shed with a big old sign on the hind end---"THIS HORSE KICKS". I'm a horse person so chatted the guy up about the horse and the fact he was training the horse and when done the horse would be sold at auction. More and more Amish families showed up as the auction went on; whole families no more singles. last of all behind all the buggies was a lady with 4 little kids in an open style cart. I had never seen a mom and kids arrive at a sale. As time passed she found a place to park the rig and bring the kids to the play area. Next time I saw her she was with Mr. Speedy Amishman. I concluded that there are even Amish guys who have midlife crises and just have to have the really fast and flashy sports model of transportation while they leave the wife and kids with the sedate van.
Theirs crazies in every community. Like that ass hat in one of the Amish communities that went around cutting beards. You know it's messed up when the Amish are forced to call the cops.
Peter, I'm from NE Ohio Geauga Co, & was raised w/the Amish for the 1st 18 yrs of my life. My grandfather was the local auctioneer & my father and his sisters, inc me & 9 cousins all had taxi service for the Amish at one time or another. My sister and I grew up having Amish babysitters, & when my 2 girls were young & I still lived in OH they had Amish sitters to watch them as well. My dad hunted in Holmes Co, Guernsey co But would love to see the community of Amish (Middlefield & Burton, Ohio). They truly are some of the kindest people, the most awesome craftsmen & women, & I have the best & fondest memories of all the local Amish families I grew up with. Thanks for trip down memory lane.
This is amazing. I've lived in Ohio my whole life. I've always been around the Amish. I've worked in their communities. I've learned so much more about them watching this series than I've learned my whole life. I used to collect blood. Their Bishop's required the whole community to donate. It always bothered me they supplied the bulk of of the Cleveland region blood supply. They donate far more than they receive. I could run a drive in the middle of a heavily populated area and not collect a lot but their small communities would keep us busy all day long. They were lined up down the street all day.
@@hankhardonblkface6941 Not for them it doesn't. I know for a fact spent 10 years running drives in this same community he's in. They even have their own bank called Altman
Been wholeheartedly loving this series. What a beautiful community they have created over the years. You have documented it so eloquently (as you always do). This video in particular was so much fun, your smile and energy was infectious during the auction!! Best content, you're very talented.
Peter, about 2 weeks ago your video was recommended by RUclips and while normally I dont click on recommends with yours I did. I appreciate how vulnerable you are when you enter a new place and cast fear aside in pursuit of unity. I also respect how at no point in your videos and interactions is their any judgement or prejudice as you walk in with an open mind. I believe the world needs to see more of this so I am a subscriber and will continue to promote you and your page. Thank you and keep fighting the good fight.
Those Amish are real Mensches. They're doing it right. And you're the reason I know it. What a great series. Love all your stuff, one of the best things going on RUclips for my money.
nah Netflix is way too negativity orient for this. Unless it is about climate change, gender equality or any other strife in modern age, it is not for them.
Good job on this amish video series. Ive never seen the amish community filmed like this, this is the real deal! I grew up in this community. My Uncle is one of the auctioneers helping in the sale.
I have to say, I grew up in a RR area, and went to school for IT/programming. I love my job, but I keep thinking about how simple and beautiful it would be to get up in the sun, work all day, and live with others doing the same. Just incredible.
With the rampant "I got mine, screw you" mindset in the USA, basically none of the Amish ways would work on any significant scale. That's not even taking into consideration the growing trend of being proud of ones ignorance. Watching all those in power continue to do nothing more than point fingers while the whole thing burns around them makes me really happy to be observing it from a civilized country.
Watching these videos about the amish community gives me great comfort. Atleast somebody from somewhere in the world is living the life as they want during this so called PANDEMIC .
Native (Dine) here, looking back at your videos. You treat everyone the same. I love the Amish and Mennonites. They are in a way how my Natives were independent within their own tribes.
The sence of community and selflessness of these people brings a tear of joy to my eyes. I'm on my way to join them. Peter, I've been watching you videos one after the other,you are Awesome!
found your RUclips channel yesterday ❤ I must say you are quite crazy some of us spend half our lives trying to escape being mennonite, I give you credit you went all in and showed my people alot of respect 🙏❤ Thank You 😊
This series has been so good. I love the lives they all live its much more about family and community than everyone for themselves. It makes me realise how much TV and Devices have made us all so isolated. You can literally be in the same room with the kids and we are all doing our own thing on our devices and we are communicating or having quality time together.
The Amish are so friendly and helpful. An hour from where I went to college was an Amish community. I loved going there whenever I was feeling home sick and needed a good home style meal and great conversation.
Just love that you chose to do this series Peter! Many people are curious about the Amish and they always get the wrong impression. I drive for the Amish on occasion and have become very close to some of them! With your help, people will be able to see the True heart of many of these people. Once again thank you ❤️
I am not Amish nor have I really learned much about them aside from the stereotypes... but as an "English" person I have to say that this is incredible. My boyfriend's family attends a church and they did an auction a few weeks ago of cakes, pies, and other desserts. The money goes to a local Methodist group home to buy Christmas gifts for the kids. It was absolutely amazing to watch and some of these cakes went for $300!!! When I go to buy furniture I may have to look into an Amish store/auction. I've been to a few of their stores while traveling Appalachia areas but have never had a need/money to buy their beautiful hand-crafted furniture. Thank you for shedding light on these wonderful people and community! What a great video!
Furniture at my late grandparents' home was pretty similar to what the amish have. Some of it was inherited from earlier generations, being well over 100 years old and still going. They last more than one lifetime.
I love your interest, respect and genuine warmth for the Amish. It has given me a wonderful insight into their lives and how unique and special they are.
Thanks for your videos, I just discovered them recently, and I really appreciate that you approach the Amish community with an attitude of respect and curiosity. I think they have a beautiful culture of humility, faith, and fellowship, and that the rest of us could learn a lot from them.
Peter, thank you for your great content. I'm watching all your video's with my wife and kids (they are learning English atm so that's a double win!) The unbiassed way you interact with the people from all these very different communities is a great example that I'm happy to present to my kids. In fact I believe your channel should be mandatory watching (if there would be such a thing) for all. You are a force for good in my book. Godspeed to you!
Just another amazing and introspective look at such a beautiful and kind world. Also, loved that you participated in the auction in order support a good cause and especially when you donated your items back, you’re just a good guy Peter.
God bless you sir. We are greatful for your service and sacrifice. We know the military is hard right now and your continued service to protect is appreciated and we will pray for you every night in our prayers.
Peter this series is amazing. It’s legitimately completely changed my views on these guys. It was never negative, just completely opened my eyes to a world I had never seen an really we should bring allot of these values back into society.
I live in Southern Ontario in Canada and I live by a sizeable population of Amish and Mennonites. They are interesting people and I've always wanted to learn more about them. Thanks for your videos.
As an English family we attend the Haiti auction annually (Jan) in Sarasota Florida. We’ve been going for years. It is amazing to watch the Amish and Mennonite who come from all over the US work together with 100% profit going to the cause.
The laugh at 20:18 😂😂. Your channel is becoming an addiction. Your videos should be broadcasted in the international travel channels. Amazing and rare insights. Thank you Peter for this rare access !! Watching from Taiwan
I’m from Holmes County but live in Florida now. You must have made quite a splash there, plenty of folks knew there was a famous guy roaming around documenting. Heck I heard about it all the way down here. Had to find it and watch. You did my hometown proud, Peter.
Hehe. Words get around fast among the plain folks.
This is quite relatable and i believe a diversified porfolio is more profitable but can be complex
The stock market is doing well because of it's good hedge against inflation, and it's easier than ever people to buy stocks.
More buyers competing for the same stocks mean higher valuations.
@Avery Peter's Currently over 100% on ADA at the moment and loving it, good thing is people are getting to know cash is pretty much stone age point, put your money in the market.

I can’t believe i’m a Pakistani completely submerged into these series Peter makes that span across cultures!
These videos are great! Wonderful series, here! I enjoyed his videos from Pakistan!
Greetings from West Virginia in the United States, friend!
I live less than an hour from the largest population of Amish in the U.S. and I assume the world and I'm still completely submerged in Peter's videos in Amish country. That said I'm also fascinated by his videos in Pakistan or and elsewhere. I'm sure many of the more liberal Amish would be too. The interest and even admiration definitely goes both ways.
@Abhishek Bais you are just born to hate aren't you buddy...
@Abhishek Bais There is still millions of Hindus in Pakistan. The decrease of Hindu population happened in Bangladesh, not Pakistan. Also, if you look at the demographic of Pakistan, you’ll see that Pakistan have the 2nd highest or 3rd highest number of Shia in the country. You’ll find that there is so many ethnic diversity in Pakistan, Punjabis, Sindhi, Balochi, Brahui, Pashtun, Hindokowan, Saraiki, Shina, Khowar, Balti and much more,
@Abhishek Bais someone has speak the truth, pakistan is probably one of the most intollerant country in the world
My family is fortunate to live within an hour’s drive of this community. The food, flea markets, bulk stores, cheese products, produce stands, furniture stores, meat stores, scenery and (most of all) genuine hospitality of the Amish community is like nowhere else I know.
Id love to visit someday!
I live here lol
What happens if you're not white? Do the KKK robes come out then?
Same!!! We live about 30 minutes away!
im not very close to this area, but Lancaster is only 45 mins away and we love going out that way. The Amish are awesome, theyre such nice people.
This RUclips channel is better than the Travel Channel. More authentic and immersive.
Travel channel is about advertising, Peter is about truth.
Corporate TV will buy out a channel, and it is always about quantity of income, instead of quality. Prime example ABC News, ESPN and Vice (all owned by Disney Media Corporation to push an agenda)
Travel channel hasnt been good since No Reservations
Peter doesn't have an 'agenda'
Does anyone else feel like the Amish are doing things right….especially in the current worldly climate? I certainly do.
On the outside maybe
But not according to the Bible
It not as perfect as they make it look
@#Out.Above have you ever heard about Seventh day Adventist Christians(SDA)?
The Amish also run most of the puppy mills, so they don't do everything right...
@@hankhardonblkface6941 You forget that "christians" aren't the only people in existance
When the auctioneer recognized you "I know you're in disguise" cracked me up
😂yeah like "dude dont say it out loud to everyone!"
So funneh! 😊❤
Pretty brave. I would have been like "oh, sh*t" and ran out.
Imagine living in a society where we all looked out for one another.
don't have to look at the amish
@Kayla Harris not everyone is competition with others speak for yourself
The key word in that statement is ALL. everyone works and contributes. A large percentage of americans have purposely confused welfare with “looking out for one another”. That is NOT what is happening here.
Jeff Bezos: "omg no"
Gosh darn socialists
I love Peter's city boy strut in those Amish clothes. Too funny. Like John Travolta in Saturday night live going down the street in Amish clothes. You go peter!!
Lol :)
@@gordonfleming7976 hey can you hear the bee gee's singing in the background?
That was too funny, i was thinking the same thing, Peter is just too cool, he can pull off anything :) 🎼you can tell by the way i use my walk 🎶im a womans man 🎶no time to talk🎵🎵 ... Lol
Lol, it’s a wholesome laugh! Love it!
" You can tell by the way I use my walk....I'm an Amish guy....no time to talk...."
Pretty sure an amish Guy with a selfie stick and a camera is the worst disguise ever.
I swear this is one of the best, if not the best series I've seen on YT. Thank you for shining a light on the Amish community.
I love his videos he really shows how people live and he does it organically not with politics
Agreed 100% dude
I feel the same
I think I have found a wonderful place to live….love the wholesomeness of these people. Good folks.
I’m a young mexican stoner trying to make it out the hood by doing reaction videos & other subjects on my RUclips channel 😩
I've watched the whole series on the Amish Community and I'm blown away by how happy, humble and generous everyone is. I didn't know much about the Amish before watching this, so thank you, Peter! I'm kindly jealous of their lifestyle and wish i could escape the craziness here in the UK and live a life in such a tight Community. In all seriousness I think these people live the best life in this day and age. I appreciate the way you presented the whole series without putting a spin on it but just rather inform people like me that didnt know more than what's usually mentioned about the Amish. Amazing stuff.
ya I like the series , nice content . So I was wondering what their views are on clothing items like shorts or short jeans , I grow up in a culture where you don't wear shorts and you don't wear anything tight , mostly loose fit and stuff , it was mostly jeans or regular long pants that people wore , I'm no longer religious or anything but I was wondering what their views are on different clothing styles . We also were banned from drinking alcohol , I wonder how the Amish view drinking and stuff . Honestly I don't have a problem with the whole horse riding thing , I'm fine with it , its also good for the environment because your not releasing garbage into the air , its not particle for me but good for them
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 The Amish men will not wear shorts outside of the home and the women will always wear a dress. Beer is acceptable in certain communities but in moderation.
I've been seriously thinking about joining them over the last few years. I've always loved the lifestyle. The way the world is now they have much more to offer.
@@michelleturner6865 Keep in mind, like Peter said himself, don't just think that this is all Amish is. There are always side affects. If you are able to handle not being connected to the outside world and separating yourself from friends and stuff, maybe you could consider it. I see the appeal, but personally I feel that there are more things for me to do in this world than live somewhere and not think about the world outside.
@@michelleturner6865 I'm really considering joining them myself. I only don't know what Im going to do regarding the church since Im agnostic but other than that I love most things the modern Amish represent, using technology only for the benefits of it without abusing it. No violence in their community, no drugs, no crime, no fear. And also living in such a harmony with nature and your community, I didn't even think something like that was possible before watching this. I'm going to need a wife tho 😂
Friend of mine put his car in a ditch one winter, the Amish hitched on and pulled him out with 2 horses, no joke 😂 very kind people and we do business with them regularly in Clare, MI.
Good to hear stories like that as I live in Mt Pleasant, down the road
I love cruising around Clare in all seasons. Have seen barn raising and home building and have stopped at as many sales tables as possible to by home and hand made goods. They are lovely polite and kind people who deserve our respect.
The guy at the country cookstove bakery near Jay's is such a nice guy, the donuts are really good as well
I live near lancaster PA and i’ve heard this exact story quite a few times!!! they’re actually very kind
Do they know that you are a user?
I'm in the military, currently stationed in North Carolina, and I have watched every single episode of this Amish series. I'm originally from Wayne County, Ohio and while I already knew a good amount about the Amish just from interactions in daily life, this series has really made me feel like I was back home at a time when I desperately needed it. Thank you Peter for bringing me a little piece of home.
Thank you for your service.
Be sure an get bk to Ohio when your done w/military service! Thankyou for your service btw.
One, Thank You for your service. Im in North Carolina as well, little town called Julian. I am really enjoying seeing all of these videos!
We have an amish community at Union Grove and also around Yadkin, Wilkes, and Surry counties. Although they are hard to find to an outsider.
I'm originally from stark. Spent many a weekends in Amish country with my grandparents
You can really see how much has changed between some of your first interactions with them to now. They have really welcomed you into their lives and a big part of that comes from you being completely open to theirs. You’ve made life long friends in Brian and the Amish people, just as you did with Shloime and the Hasidic Jews. You’re living a cool life brother and you seem like a good bloke to have a couple beers with. Cheers from Australia.
@task force whiskyyeah you can really see these guys are stone cold evil ay mate ? Get a grip. Wed take them in aussie any day of the week, we need more hard working farmers.
@@jacksonstone5683 I havent paid much attention to our farming situation here in oz but which sec is struggling the most? Last I heard it was dairy.
he is doing something right, making friends with these different groups of people. cheers from vic
@@yeahdog Its called catholic church and its a pretty big club...
He doesn't drink im sure he would sit with you and have a coffee though
I did some work in Holmes County Ohio recently and every Amish person I came in contact with treated me with the upmost respect and was extremely helpful to me. They are definitely doing things much better than we we are in general society.
They don’t treat their own that great. They ignore their own if they don’t fit in.
Why would they be nasty to you? They want something from you, and they don't want the community to have a bad name.
Just don't ask them what they think about gays, liberals, or anyone non-white or non-english speaking... or anyone born Amish that doesn't want to be.
@@HELLNAWW why would you ask them that? They have their own rules, the same as Muslims. Why every liberal and Westic person think that everyone no matter their culture or religion have to think like you guys.
@@Imperius01. So you think hanging someone because his skin is brown colored or because he is gay is okay and just a "cultural difference". Really makes a lot of sense.
Anybody else tempted to quit the city life to go join this wonderful community of Amish? I’m 25 and I remember as a kid thinking how ‘boring’ their lives must be and how they’re probably jealous of our tech-filled lifestyle. When in reality, it was me who is jealous of them and their lifestyle! Such a community oriented and genuinely good group of people unlike many lukewarm Christians of today. Peter, you deserve the world bro. Thank you for always being non-bias in your journalism in this world filled with fake news. Great video as always, keep them coming(but take sometime to enjoy the fruits of your success & light one up of that sticky icky). Much love bro 😜
youd prob get bored after a while. feel like you need to be born into it and grow up in it
While it looks amazing, there is a whole other side to it. If you're interested there is a documentary series hosted by former-Amish Joseph Graber called Breaking the Silence. It goes behind the scene to the darker sides of Amish culture. A hybrid would be nice.
@@tashaforbes6274 its definitely sad to think about how some poor people will get picked at for minuscule things...I watched one where this lady was sewing all the ladies bonnets in town but the rabbi kept telling her hers was not right...and when your that tightly knit of a community..being shunned or banned is a pretty serious affair...i think the mennonite are where its at or the hutterite look pretty awesome to as they live in like a commune...they have their own small homes kinda like townhomes or duplexes but also a commercial kitchen where 3 meals a day are prepared for the community..Gardens where all(well not all) the food is grown..each community has some business that the Guys run...it looks pretty awesome
Yep me
I wouldn't really want to join their community, but I would like to have their positive attitude towards life
You have destroyed all negative stereotypes of the Amish and what we are left with is positivity and happiness. These people are amazing, thanks for your insight. I’ve made positive changes in my own life because of these people. Thanks and please make these videos longer :)
There’s negative stereotypes for Amish people? Serious question cause I’ve never heard anything I’d describe as “negative
@@jaycaw3015 The only thing negative about the Amish is the negativity towards them. People can't seem to accept the fact that people exist with morals, religion and don't rely on the Government.
The inbreeding won’t do them good in the long run
@@TheUniversalEyes and why should they be entitled to any government help if they don’t pay the taxes for those benefits? Lol
@@jaycaw3015 There are animal welfare negativity floating around concerning puppy farms, treatment of horses, old, injured, unwanted horses going to the slaughter pipeline. But I don't think this is representative.
Helping and looking out for each other is what the whole world needs right now ❤
I have yet to see someone who records and reports minorities the way Peter does.
This goes to show that fair reporting sells.
Peter, I hope you know the good that your videos does for the world by reducing hatred between groups. You are a true reporter because you are the opposite of creating drama. And because you say it as it is.
I'm sure your family is very proud.
It's almost like curiosity and learning sells more than hate and fear. :P
I'd like to believe that's true anyway. Hope it is.
@@Ranstone I've heard nothing but positive feedback on every single post of his. I find his videos informative, interesting and he is always respectful. No matter where he is.
Beautiful comment! I agree 100%. Finding Peter's channel has been a blessing.
Peter, it needs to be said: I found your channel through the Chassidic series, specifically the Shabbat dinner video which popped up randomly on my feed. What you’re doing is here probably the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips. What you’re providing here is what people typically have to travel for, and most of us don’t have the means or the time. And even if we can explore the world, meaningfully penetrating these communities we aspire to learn about is usually too difficult for the average traveler. I’ve learned so much about life itself learning about these different cultures. I take mental notes about every community you present; how to live more simply from the Amish, how to structure family raising from the Jewish, how to overcome environmental challenges from your Brooklyn videos, and so on. This is how we overcome cultural and religious hate. Of course these communities have their internal problems, but I’ve learned that these groups that are often punchlines in the Western world are beautiful, and there’s a reason they’ve survived. Thank you.
What a great comment Tom! Thanks for sharing this with us.
@@PeterSantenello Any chance of you going to the dutch Bible belt after Covid is over? It would be a very interesting to see how they and the amish differ, they split almost 400 years ago but the core of the religion is still pretty much the same and they are also pretty seperated from the rest of the dutch population(they dont use horses anymore).
I found him the exact same way. I’m totally invested in his work now. 💟
They survived because of the Freedom in America
Peter, you make a fine looking Amish man.
When you donated the items back at the auction, I had tears. You are such a good person. Thank you and may God bless you all of your life.🙏❤️
I love how clean and tidy all of their property, farms and stores are. You can tell they take pride in their surroundings.
The Amish sense of community puts regular society to shame. Thank you for your series of videos showing an unbiased view of how they live. It's great to see how they look out for each other.
@@user-ny3xq5og9b 😂
Yeah like when my wife and every sister was sexually abused by a brother and the dam family did nothing.
@@Johnrider1234 That is kinda what I was going to say. I see this one guy shorts about his growing up with old world Amish and the abuse they have with in the community.
@@kameljoe21 the amish sell an image so they can sell more garbage to tourists like most of the commenters here. they rely on the image of "good old fashioned" people who are just above the "worldliness" (as the top commenter put it), when in reality their society is run by patriarchal pigs that molest their own daughters routinely. inbreeding is rampant in amish communities because of all the abuse. the idea that the amish are just saints on earth who have eschewed the world in favor of good values is completely fabricated.
they arent as good as you think they are lol
Our society as whole could learn a lot from these folks. God truly has blessed them. May they never lose their way.
the trade off would be removing all electronics from the world. Regular people are scarred and minds destroyed from social media.
You could go live that way at any time, it's your choice!
Well done Peter for giving back to the Amish community 👏
I have been near Amish all my life. Live in NW Ohio now with Amish near us. Became (modern) Mennonite as an adult. This is the most respectful, responsible and accurate look at Amish communities I have ever seen. Thank you, Sir, for your fine work and generous heart. You are a standout, not just on RUclips! If you get an opportunity to go to Shipshewana, go to Mennonite Hof.
Hope you got your wife a quilt!
BTW, have you heard of the Hutterites?
I too have reached out to Peter to see if he can explore the Hutterite Communities also. I think alot of people do not realize Hutterite Communities exist in America.
@@jenjenb1209 I watch a couple of hutterites utube vlogs,they also are just so giving and hard working. Peter is definitely getting the word out that the majority of ppl are good and honest hard working ppl and like any culture, community, race whatever good & bad exists in all,its so easy for ppl to see the bad and remember it but easily forget the good..community living has a lot to be said for it.
@@janeevans4758 I also watch a couple yt channels also. They seem to be very loving caring people as well. I think a day in the life of a Hutterite lady/man from Peter's perspective would be so interesting. I also would like to see if he could go speak with Montana Haven on yt. The husband's father I believe broke off from the Amish and created an Anabaptist community. So interesting
I from Baltic Ohio lol
I'd love to see the Hutterites!
I came from Massachusetts for a sale in Mt Hope. I stopped at a hardware store to ask directions. A young Amish man said "follow us" and he had his driver go miles out of their way to take me where I was going. I always remember that kindness.
I'm really enjoying your Amish series. I don't want it to end
Same here! It’s awesome!
same!
same but i am hyped for the Dearborn MI Muslim community series after this
I'm a big fan of Peter, I make a video like him in my RUclips channel check it if you have time :) n subscribe
He should life 6 Month in this Community that would be awesome.
People wonder where I get my entertainment with no cable, Netflix, Amazon ETC… this!! This content right here!
Same here; I ditched TV and MSM five years ago.

Thank you for doing all these Amish videos! I'm a Yoder and my dad was raised Amish and grew up in Holmes County. He eventually moved down to Plain City, where I was born and raised (live in Texas now). A lot of my relatives are still Amish and live in Holmes County. The Mt Hope Auction is a huge part of my childhood. They have another similar one but for kidney-related health that was actually started by my grandmother. I remember going up every year to help with food and several other things. One of my fondest memories. We spent a lot of time in Holmes County with my Amish relatives when I was young. All these videos bring back such great memories!
Also, my grandparents had a home right there in Pinecraft where you were in Florida. We would go down every spring break and stay with them.
I just love the great job you did with portraying the Amish. For so long, there have been so many shows that portray the Amish the wrong way. This definitely helps debunk a lot of myths and false information those shows have started.
@scottayoder, did you go to Jonathan Alder or Shekinah?
@@DD-Hawklife Both! Went to Shekina in 1st grade and then Jonathan Alder 2nd-7th. Then we moved into Columbus.
May I ask why your father left the Amish church? When that happened was he excommunicated or was he still welcomed at family events?
@@jackieyoung3359 They left because too much of the teachings centered around works-based salvation (meaning you have to earn your way into Heaven) and they believed there is nothing you can do to earn your way in, that it is a free gift.
And, yes! A lot of my family is still Amish and we have always been welcomed with open arms. For as long as I can remember (I'm 44), all of our family get-togethers have always had a lot of Amish there. My uncle (who was still Amish up until his death a couple years ago) and his family would often host our yearly family reunions at their farm in Sugarcreek. We actually just had one there 2 years ago and it was half Amish half "English."
AScottayoder I was raised in NE Ohio Geauga Co (Middlefield, Parkman, Burton area) & my grandfather (Robert "Bob" Ohl) was the auctioneer in Middlefield @ the Livestock Auction. My father hunted all around the Holmes Co area & we all at 1 time or another had a taxi service for the Amish. Every year we took a group at Christmas to the Metzenbaum Center as some of their family who had mental handicaps put on a Program & my grandpa used to take whichever grandkids (I went w/him for many years) to support our Amish friends and neighbors. I now have lived in Tx for almost 20 yrs & before that spent many yrs on Columbus' far westside & drove through Plain City regularly, but miss the community dearly, (not the cold weather,lol) I thought I'd say hello from 1 Buckeye to another, & I'll bet we both have some great stories we could share, ie like the 1st time I saw a buggy going thru the drive thru of McDonald's in the early 80's. Peter does some of the best videos & we each had our reflections of memories watching this one. Blessings....
Peter I think you have one of the best “YT sites” ever created! You teach and show everyone so much about the “cultural differences” with an inside look of how others live in this big old world, for those who can’t travel like myself the way you produce content is almost like we get to experience with you as if we were there. Your talent is amazing & keep up the awesome content!
Thanks Trina! My goal is to bring you guys as close in as I can without filters so I'm happy to hear it's working.
@@PeterSantenello I agree with, Triana. You do great work.
Give yourself a pat on the back!
Thanks, Peter.
Do you mean RUclips channel?
Wow the auction money is not just to help the Amish. They help the English too. How beautiful.
I got emotional watching this. They're such good people. I'm 100% buying some of their furniture and food in order to support them.
Get the cheese, and popcorn.
I have friends who have bought their furniture and it is flawless! The best!
Amish have some of the best auctioneers in the world. I must say.
Bro why do I always see you in the comment section?!
@Nikka Pubes Also no fake Christians either or any type of liberal or conservatives
Hey Taco!
The Amish are NOT the most empathetic people you will ever meet when it comes to animal welfare. They will take care of their horses and cattle only as much as it takes to keep them working and producing. A buggy horse might be tied up for hours in the hot sun with no shade or water, tormented by flies because the owners won’t put fly spray on them. I’ve never seen my neighbors call a veterinarian. If an animal is sick they usually only try some home remedy. Sometimes it works, usually it doesn’t. That applies mostly to horses, cattle, and other livestock. As for cats and dogs, they are not pets. You’ll never see one inside the home or even in a doghouse and they don’t buy dog/cat food for them. They just wander about the place and are expected to feed themselves on whatever they can scrounge up. They find shelter in whatever place they can, whether it is -20 or 95 outside. The Amish will not interact with them by talking to them (other than an order) or petting them. They are never spayed or neutered so you can expect to see litter after litter running around the barnyard. Very few will survive past a year or two. Some buy a dog from a breeder for varmint control. Those are the puppy mills that others have mentioned. I’ve seen one or two of those mills and I can’t imagine a worse place to live. Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherds are common varmint dogs. And as for outright cruelty, that’s more common than you might think. I’ve seen Amish beat a recalcitrant horse or dog mercilessly. I once saw our neighbor kids tormenting a small kitten while it cried and cried (I never saw that kitten again).
TACOOOOOOOOO
It’s so wonderful to see an informative documentary about a community without all of the criticism and sarcasm that you see in “mainstream” media. You’re doing such a great service for all of us, Peter! Thank you!
@task force whisky Sounds like you're from the cult of woke.
@task force whisky Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about and are just making things up.
@task force whisky Oh, of course. Just another week troll old account to be ignored.
@@TonyRule Well the Amish have a little Genetic bottleneck problem, but other communties have much bigger problems with that. As for the Cult question, you are right its not a Cult, its just another school of one of the 3 mainstream christian churches. their Religion is only extreme in the Rejection of modern Technology, but that is to be expected when the other part of their church went for hyper capitalism with affinity for technology.
@@nox5555 I've seen no evidence for this claimed genetic bottleneck. I posted a link to evidence for another group that despite its size does have that problem, but I see that has been purged. It must have carried too many facts.

You look great in the Amish clothing. Was so nice of you to donate all the stuff you bought, back to the cause. Very generous. Didn’t think you really needed those things, but at first thought you were buying for Brian and his mom. Great series. Love it, and thanks so much for sharing.
Well done Peter for highlighting the other side. Love this format because it’s seeing the side you wouldn’t get to see. I’d love to visit one day from Dubai. It feels so refreshingly different. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
So good to see how other people lives their lifes
Dubai is everything Amish are not 😎
Would be refreshing to see the perspective of the slaves! All of the videos out there are of the giant structures, and opulence.
@@galimir well some muslims in iraq live like this but dubai is everything muslims arent.
Dubai hahah
The Gulf is very modern
If you think women dressed skimpy in public is a symbol of being modern then you will not find that unless you are a woman and go into women’s only circle
Otherwise everything in Gulf is ultra modern
That brought tears to my eyes - your kindness and generosity participating in the auction and then donating it back ❣️
I believe Peter is having a super enjoyable time filming the Amish! And it’s really enjoyable watching!
I loved this series, Peter! Exceptional! I can’t wait to see what else you make for content! Also, very kind to donate all that! Have a great day! Thanks for making us smile with awesome videos!
Keep the videos coming on the Amish in Ohio.
So true! Such a good series
“Eizikel… are you sure that God doesn’t want you to have these awesome technologies?…. Hmm?…. Huh?….”
We have worked for some old order Mennonites in Cynthiana Ohio for almost 3 years now hauling trusses and lumber, without a doubt THE BEST job we've ever had, my husband prefers working with/for the Amish and especially old order Mennonites, overall more honest than Englishers. They've let us into their lives and invited us to some family events, really amazing community and a huge thank you to Auker's Custom Truss for being the best guy we've ever worked for!
Wow, the way you just said “It’s really good what you guys are doing,” while donating everything back just made me cry hahah
Yeah that was pretty cool. I've seen people do that at other charity auctions. Or they will match a high bid on something just to give. It's nice to see the community come together. need more of this in the Country.
I’m really enjoying this series on the Amish.
What I discovered from this series was that the Amish are not about living in the past but are about FAMILY. Family values that extend to include your neighbors and entire community. No one is left out in the cold.
The more i watch this, the more i want to go live with them .
Congrats you have been brainwashed.
Same
Fetus it's possible. Not easy, as they shun outsiders. But you could definitely try -
You can always find like minded people and start your own community.
Do it, im here😂
I cried when I saw you donating all that stuff back. Peter, you're loved everywhere you go because people can see your kind heart and selfless way of being. I've learned so much through watching you. Thank you for all that you're doing. Love from Romania ❤️

Such wholesome people. We can learn so much from them.
Learn the love from Jesus the 1 who they live by and it shows Right You also can have this Joy That the world cant give That comes from loving Jesus and living everyday to just do his will.
Ever notice nobody dislikes the Amish? Unlike another group who dress like them and constantly ask why nobody likes them. As if they don't know.
@@vitocorleone8323 It's almost as if the Amish aren't a bunch of disingenuous, polarising, manipulative mongrels hell bent on injecting division in the world for their own means and ends, unlike the other group...

I do! We moved a few years ago to an IN Amish country during Covid. There was something comforting being around Amish during that unsettling time. Just felt so safe.
Peter you could honestly do an entire year long series on this. It's truly fascinating.
I agree. I would watch it every week
Just a wonderful series. Can’t get enough. Such an insight into their world. Plus I haven’t seen Peter smile so hard in a while. He’s enjoying the hospitality. I’d like to see a video of his first day back to the English world. He’s been at such a slow pace for a while now, he’ll def see a difference when he leaves. Keep em coming Peter. Excellent work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I know! Peter's smile could not be any bigger! So fabulous!
Well to be a bit of critic - Peter hasn't left his English world just by spending a few hours hanging around with the Amish. If he did it for a whole year that would be different.
@@LarryKapp1 Obviously after a year being fully immersed there would have to be a major difference. But I respectfully disagree. I think he’ll notice the change dramatically. I know I sure would! Just seeing how he’s acting and having been disconnected from the outside world in a short period of time can give you a new perspective on life. There’s always little things we can take with us and apply to our busy lives. Should one want to of course.
I’ve always had good interactions with the Amish. They’ve got the best selection in our farmers market. They quit offering plastic bags way before it was cool.
A while ago I found out they don’t drive. I was at staples and an Amish woman came up to me and asked if I could drive her to the fabric store just down the road. Of course I did, I got a little fabric too. We had a good chat, it was an unexpected but fun experience.
Peter you fit right in! Very kind and generous of you to donate. The Amish people have great souls. Enjoying your journey and experience through the Amish culture. Pennsylvania Amish Country here. Take care.
I want to thank you Peter for doing this series. It honestly brought me a lot of personal happiness to view this series . These people are so kind and humble and I found them and you incredibly refreshing during these trying times. I also was able to see that you have a natural affinity for the Amish. I do as well. I have so much respect for these communities.
You definitely suit being an Amish person, Peter! I couldn’t stop giggling at the lady fitting you for your outfit…. I think she was getting weak at the knees. Awesome video and I was absolutely mesmerised by the auctioneer!!! Bravo! 💫❤️
Peter so generous of you to donate all that stuff. You’re so kind and compassionate.
Thats how we roll
he gets the money from us watching his Utube videos But its alot of work to edit..looks like he is having fun1 great job
Honestly he should kept the dancing pig plushie. 😂
He's really taking the Amish series to the next level I love it! Keep the Amish train going as long as possible!
When I return to America, I'm gonna find one of these Amish auctions, buy a lot of high-ticket stuff and donate them back.I can't believe I grew up in Pennsylvania, saw a lot of Amish, Mennonites and Bruderhof's in my time...but never knew they were such generous, kind and caring people. Thank you, Peter, for making these videos. I've thoroughly enjoyed the entire Amish series. Your RUclips channel deserves an Emmy and Peabody.
Can you imagine if goodwill like this spread across the country? Truly amazing , people helping people ... Great series Peter.
The government, especially this one, would have to declare martial law.
@@painkillerjones6232 yeah. They would say it’s a threat to democracy or something
No "news" stations or social media to spread hate and negativity goes a long way
Unfortunately it threatens capitalism, and the government wants nothing to do with that.
@@KillingDemons It doesn't really threaten Capitalism, just fraud.
When I was watching your first videos in this series I was really hoping you'd be able to get in on an Auction or Wedding. Those two things are the best feelings in their culture. Everyone coming together and being a tight community. 1000 likes for this series! It's been so enjoyable to see it again after a few years being away. (I'm English but spent a few years as a teenager in an Amish community) I love the peace and community of the Amish. Most of us English don't have this kind network and love for each other.
I definitely feel our "English" society is lacking the Amish way of commitment to the community, willing to help the neighbors, care about something other and bigger than just their family. Of course we have lots of volunteer services and initiatives but I'm talking about the people just talking care of each other.
Great that there are the communities out there that still value this.
I’m blown away again by the wonderful people and the journey Peter has taken us on. Every video in this series gets better!
You really need to continue this. It's the BEST one yet of a series.
Have been to many Amish auctions as well as non-Amish auctions. My hubby is the buyer, I am the people watcher. At one Amish auction I watched as an Amish man rode a fabulous leopard spotted Appaloosa stallion down the road to the auction. The man had that horse on after burners! They arrived and the rider cooled the horse out by walking back and forth in front of the farm where the sale was. Once cooled Mr. Speedy Amishman put the horse in a shed with a big old sign on the hind end---"THIS HORSE KICKS". I'm a horse person so chatted the guy up about the horse and the fact he was training the horse and when done the horse would be sold at auction. More and more Amish families showed up as the auction went on; whole families no more singles. last of all behind all the buggies was a lady with 4 little kids in an open style cart. I had never seen a mom and kids arrive at a sale. As time passed she found a place to park the rig and bring the kids to the play area. Next time I saw her she was with Mr. Speedy Amishman. I concluded that there are even Amish guys who have midlife crises and just have to have the really fast and flashy sports model of transportation while they leave the wife and kids with the sedate van.
These communities are the greatest example of application of Christian teachings to everyday life and communal living
Not really
Theirs crazies in every community. Like that ass hat in one of the Amish communities that went around cutting beards. You know it's messed up when the Amish are forced to call the cops.
Q: "Where are you from?"
Peter: "I'm Swartzentruber!"
Great series!
Loved the laughs in the background on that one.
Is it Schwarzentruber or Swartzentruber??
@@susanmuthoni1167 schwartzen. Comes from German
Peter has started a new order Amish order the “ Beachy Swartzentruber”
@@melodycrawford9943 that allowed wedding rings. :)
Peter, I'm from NE Ohio Geauga Co, & was raised w/the Amish for the 1st 18 yrs of my life. My grandfather was the local auctioneer & my father and his sisters, inc me & 9 cousins all had taxi service for the Amish at one time or another. My sister and I grew up having Amish babysitters, & when my 2 girls were young & I still lived in OH they had Amish sitters to watch them as well. My dad hunted in Holmes Co, Guernsey co But would love to see the community of Amish (Middlefield & Burton, Ohio). They truly are some of the kindest people, the most awesome craftsmen & women, & I have the best & fondest memories of all the local Amish families I grew up with. Thanks for trip down memory lane.
This is amazing. I've lived in Ohio my whole life. I've always been around the Amish. I've worked in their communities. I've learned so much more about them watching this series than I've learned my whole life.
I used to collect blood. Their Bishop's required the whole community to donate. It always bothered me they supplied the bulk of of the Cleveland region blood supply. They donate far more than they receive. I could run a drive in the middle of a heavily populated area and not collect a lot but their small communities would keep us busy all day long. They were lined up down the street all day.
Blood transfusion go against the Bibles teachings
@@hankhardonblkface6941 Not for them it doesn't. I know for a fact spent 10 years running drives in this same community he's in. They even have their own bank called Altman
Been wholeheartedly loving this series. What a beautiful community they have created over the years. You have documented it so eloquently (as you always do).
This video in particular was so much fun, your smile and energy was infectious during the auction!! Best content, you're very talented.
I live an hour away from there and all my furniture is made there and very high quality! The lack of Chinese made crap is Great!!
Peter, about 2 weeks ago your video was recommended by RUclips and while normally I dont click on recommends with yours I did. I appreciate how vulnerable you are when you enter a new place and cast fear aside in pursuit of unity. I also respect how at no point in your videos and interactions is their any judgement or prejudice as you walk in with an open mind. I believe the world needs to see more of this so I am a subscriber and will continue to promote you and your page. Thank you and keep fighting the good fight.
Is this my stupid cousin eddy
Lmfao
@@hankhardonblkface6941 hello how are you
Those Amish are real Mensches. They're doing it right. And you're the reason I know it. What a great series. Love all your stuff, one of the best things going on RUclips for my money.
Netflix should hire you to do a series on this. In my opinion the best series on RUclips.
nah Netflix is way too negativity orient for this. Unless it is about climate change, gender equality or any other strife in modern age, it is not for them.
Good job on this amish video series. Ive never seen the amish community filmed like this, this is the real deal! I grew up in this community. My Uncle is one of the auctioneers helping in the sale.
I have to say, I grew up in a RR area, and went to school for IT/programming. I love my job, but I keep thinking about how simple and beautiful it would be to get up in the sun, work all day, and live with others doing the same. Just incredible.
What.. no private companies pocketing millions AKA "insurance" . These are some smart people.
The amish are very smart. We should give them way more credit than we do.
With the rampant "I got mine, screw you" mindset in the USA, basically none of the Amish ways would work on any significant scale.
That's not even taking into consideration the growing trend of being proud of ones ignorance.
Watching all those in power continue to do nothing more than point fingers while the whole thing burns around them makes me really happy to be observing it from a civilized country.
cuz they are a small community that actually cares for one another.
Well, if you live a healthy life, ...who does need insurance?
This is just like Australian Medicare everyone puts in and everyone gets free healthcare
Watching these videos about the amish community gives me great comfort. Atleast somebody from somewhere in the world is living the life as they want during this so called PANDEMIC .
Native (Dine) here, looking back at your videos. You treat everyone the same. I love the Amish and Mennonites. They are in a way how my Natives were independent within their own tribes.
Peter I honestly don't think you're aware of how awesome your channel truly is. I've enjoyed this Amish series so much 💕
Are you Porta Rico?
The sence of community and selflessness of these people brings a tear of joy to my eyes. I'm on my way to join them. Peter, I've been watching you videos one after the other,you are Awesome!
found your RUclips channel yesterday ❤ I must say you are quite crazy some of us spend half our lives trying to escape being mennonite, I give you credit you went all in and showed my people alot of respect 🙏❤ Thank You 😊
This series has been so good. I love the lives they all live its much more about family and community than everyone for themselves. It makes me realise how much TV and Devices have made us all so isolated. You can literally be in the same room with the kids and we are all doing our own thing on our devices and we are communicating or having quality time together.
These people are so nice I'm almost crying, such a rare sight.
That's because all of them are rich, just like the Mormons. Easy for everyone to be nice when nobody has a money problem.
@@Kevin_40 I don't agree with this sentiment, I know a lot of poor people who are kind hearted people.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God!
The Amish are so friendly and helpful. An hour from where I went to college was an Amish community. I loved going there whenever I was feeling home sick and needed a good home style meal and great conversation.
Just love that you chose to do this series Peter! Many people are curious about the Amish and they always get the wrong impression. I drive for the Amish on occasion and have become very close to some of them! With your help, people will be able to see the True heart of many of these people. Once again thank you ❤️
I am not Amish nor have I really learned much about them aside from the stereotypes... but as an "English" person I have to say that this is incredible. My boyfriend's family attends a church and they did an auction a few weeks ago of cakes, pies, and other desserts. The money goes to a local Methodist group home to buy Christmas gifts for the kids. It was absolutely amazing to watch and some of these cakes went for $300!!! When I go to buy furniture I may have to look into an Amish store/auction. I've been to a few of their stores while traveling Appalachia areas but have never had a need/money to buy their beautiful hand-crafted furniture. Thank you for shedding light on these wonderful people and community! What a great video!
You should watch videos by ex Amish to get better view of what it really is
By far my favorite episode following Peter and the behind the scenes with the Amish! ❤
Amish furniture last a lifetime. I love this type content Peter.
Amish fireplace too . 🔥
Furniture at my late grandparents' home was pretty similar to what the amish have. Some of it was inherited from earlier generations, being well over 100 years old and still going. They last more than one lifetime.
last many lifetimes..!!
I love your interest, respect and genuine warmth for the Amish. It has given me a wonderful insight into their lives and how unique and special they are.
Thanks for your videos, I just discovered them recently, and I really appreciate that you approach the Amish community with an attitude of respect and curiosity. I think they have a beautiful culture of humility, faith, and fellowship, and that the rest of us could learn a lot from them.
Peter, thank you for your great content. I'm watching all your video's with my wife and kids (they are learning English atm so that's a double win!) The unbiassed way you interact with the people from all these very different communities is a great example that I'm happy to present to my kids. In fact I believe your channel should be mandatory watching (if there would be such a thing) for all. You are a force for good in my book. Godspeed to you!
Just another amazing and introspective look at such a beautiful and kind world.
Also, loved that you participated in the auction in order support a good cause and especially when you donated your items back, you’re just a good guy Peter.
God bless you sir. We are greatful for your service and sacrifice. We know the military is hard right now and your continued service to protect is appreciated and we will pray for you every night in our prayers.
Peter this series is amazing. It’s legitimately completely changed my views on these guys. It was never negative, just completely opened my eyes to a world I had never seen an really we should bring allot of these values back into society.
I live in Southern Ontario in Canada and I live by a sizeable population of Amish and Mennonites. They are interesting people and I've always wanted to learn more about them. Thanks for your videos.
As an English family we attend the Haiti auction annually (Jan) in Sarasota Florida. We’ve been going for years. It is amazing to watch the Amish and Mennonite who come from all over the US work together with 100% profit going to the cause.
Absolutely adorable series. I'm sharing this with my daughter.
The laugh at 20:18 😂😂. Your channel is becoming an addiction. Your videos should be broadcasted in the international travel channels. Amazing and rare insights. Thank you Peter for this rare access !! Watching from Taiwan
How nice 🙂 to see something positive
Wouldn’t expect the Amish series was my favorite but I want more. These people are awesome love there communitu
Watching these videos on the Amish have really made me think about the importance of community. It's really beautiful what they have there!
America was mostly like that just a few decades ago. Now days your lucky to even know who any of your neighbors names let alone help them out.
