When you say this it shows how immature you are. God gave you feeling to navigate life. It’s not a debate. It’s fact. Stop watching that BS motivational stuff you’ve been watching buddy and start being a real man.
@@frogmantactical No, Jason is on to something. Feelings do have their place, but in a man, they need to be tempered, modulated, and subordinated. A man shouldn't be emotion driven, and far too many are, these days.
I dropped out of high school, bad decision. Got my GED, and an associates degree in operations management. Worked in a machine shop for 13 years before becoming a supervisor. I now have a bachelors degree and a six sigma black belt. The problem is I am 66 years old. I wasted time, and now I am paying for it. Get grounded in your youth.
It's so sad for anyone when the adults around you growing up don't infect you with Wisdom. Social Engineering in the society around us is usually to blame. Keeping people drunk, on drugs, foolishly listening /watching the lying media is all part of it. So is The Medical Profession trying to kill you with their drugs, and very little regards for human nutrition and longevity. Pride always goes before the fall.
No, it was a good decision. Public schools have been an institution for indocrination since the Rockefellers designed it that way in the early 20th century. Same thing with Rockefeller allopathic reductionism.
Everyone sees greener grass on other side of fence until they jump over and have to mow it, lol Life was never designed to be easy! Unfortunately we get caught up on the greenery missing primary goal as life here and now extremely brief!
I dropped out of high school cause of where I was located which is Mexico I’m 17 right now and I want to get my GED to join the military. any advice to study for it ? It’s hard for me to learn easily and alone.
My family pushed me to do the "normal" life shit. Go to college, get a good job, work till 60, retire, die. I'm working a shitty bureaucratic corporate job right now and I am miserable. I hate the people, I hate being on my ass all day, I hate that I was taught that this is supposed to be the thing that I am supposed to do. I'll be quitting end of January and figuring out what to do with my life. Thanks Frogman, you're helping me out tremendously.
@@NameRedacted-kc2ik I've saved up a good chunk of change to help me last for awhile. Thanks for the advice. I'm collecting a few more paychecks then getting out. I'm well prepared for what is coming. Everyone will be screwed, 2024 is here and we're here for it! Right now, I need to collect myself and get out of where I don't belong. God be with you
Having two solid parents is key. I routinely go to yoga or meditation with my mom in the morning, then I pop over to the shooting range with my dad in the afternoon! They both taught me different but equally important things and made me a well balanced person.
@@Staticbrainit sucks when you want more for them but I’ve figured out you can’t bring a horse to water and many people would rather live in learned helplessness. A lot of it is generational trauma which helps me not take their personality personally.
I was an addict and was an atheist. I’ve been clean for about 6 years now. I’m married have 2 healthy daughters. Best of all god has been guiding me through it all and it’s a blessing seeing my 4 year old pray for her food and at night since she was 2 years old.
lmao u just sound weak. you couldn’t decide for yourself or your family 2 be a decent person? you had to outsource morality and responsibility? people like you make wonder what goes on inside other peoples heads..was it really that hard to be a good person without a boogeyman in the sky?
I'm thankful I was raised by my Grandpa. He was a man who grew up in the great depression, fought in world war 2, built his own house, and his own business. My Grandpa wouldn't allow TV or video games in the house. He taught me how to shoot when I was 6, and gave me a Ruger 10/22. He taught me how to hunt, how to fish, how to grow a garden, and how to build. Everyone growing up would comment on how "hard" he was on me, and how strict he was. The truth is, he saw how society was going, and was determined to make sure I didn't go the same way. Now, I'm 40. I own 40 acres, built my own cabin, have my own farm, and my own shooting range. Gramps left this world 20 years ago, but the lessons he taught me still stick with me.
Taking away TV and video games is a shame, because while they can become an addiction there's pleasure in the act of play. You can't deny yourself play, even as an adult. Play is actually used as therapy believe it or not. If there was no TV I assume you had no computer either, which stunted your mental development and desire to explore swaths of open-source knowledge on these platforms. I guess you're here now. I'm currently going into Cybersecurity because I value mediums to connect to people like this, and I believe its a gift to safeguard the internet, or at least parts of it.
@@johndoe1274 I view it as a blessing, not spending time with all the technology gave me so much time to put my energy into other things without being distracted. I still had hobbies, just not hobbies he viewed as a waste of time. I learned to play multiple musical instruments, I learned to build things, how to weld, how to fix vehicles, etc. As opposed to looking at places "I'd like to visit" on the internet, I started traveling the world at 16. So it was a very different way of growing up, but I don't view it as a handicap at all. Because of the way I was raised, there's very few things I have to hire someone els3 to do.
@@donaldmack2307 Of course its not. What's your point? People have fun doing different things, its not your job to pick what they can and cannot play with.
I’m 21 and my generation is borderline braindead. I prefer to be around guys that are 40-60. I’m more like them then my generation. I was raised old school.
@@unbuggable5943 it’s hard to find people like me. I have nobody to talk about guns, tactics, cars..ect except older guys. I’ll go to the bar with them and everyone asks if they’re my dad bc I’m so young😂. It is a little tiring tho bc it makes dating difficult so I have to go after older women since they’re more mentally aligned with me.
They deleted my comment have you guys seen the border lately and it's our own government that's to blame.shits gonna get crazy guys the war is right here now
53, I was couch bound , alcohol and bad knees. I got myself to the gym, wife had to help me onto the treadmill the first time. I stayed at it pain and all. I paid to get my gun rights back, joined a martial arts school, joined a small Bible teaching church. Planted my first garden. I'm better off than I was. It hurts though.
Bad knees,back pain , too.Yes the answer is keep moving ,find a exercise you can do. I ride a bike outside ,when the weather is bad a stationary bike. Pills even non scipt just tear up your organs. The best thing I did was give up booze and drugs a smoking 34 years ago.
Something that I stumbled upon as a young man competing in athletics: MIND, BODY, SPIRIT as it relates to a balanced life. You're never your best when any one of the three are out of balance or missing...Thanks for the reminder Frogman. Keep it coming!
The best thing any young man can do these days is start in the trades. Not only will you become resilient to hard work, you’ll become resilient to people - your fellow co-workers will bust your balls, and management will tell you to stay later with your purple balls. If you make it through that, you’re going to learn how much of a man you truly are. Oh I forgot the pay is pretty damn good considering no student loan debt. You’re welcome.
Disagree to a point. What if this young man wants to be a doctor or a lawyer? Would encouraging him to go into the trades be the best thing for him just so he can learn to be a man? I think teaching a boy to become a man is the responsibility of the father, not a job.
@@jdub929All young men aren't blessed to have their father around to teach them anything. And theirs another large percentage that doesn't even have a male role model period around. I know, cause I'm one of those kids. And the sad part is my dad lives on the other side of town. Smh
But it is written, frogman. Psalms 1:1-6 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, Or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. If the entire country did this, where would we be?
One of the 7 things God detests is a coward. Even Jesus told the decipher was, if you have to sell your garments for a sword. Of course we should be godly and obey God's word, we all Have the right to defend ourselves if someone is trying to kill us our wives or children. 🙏
Thank you Jason and team for putting out this video. Not many are willing to stand up and say what needs to be said, such as "stop complaining, take ownership, and just do what you need to do"
@johndiversey8646 I'm referring to taking ownership of your own actions and your own life. Stand up, be a Man, stop making excuses for Not doing something.
@@thomaspollack7307 right so a slaves version of ownership where you think and act or are tortured into appearing to think and act like you’re something from fiction that does fictional things in fictional places? (Youre a slave thats marketed as a citizen right?)
@johndiversey8646 Is there a reason why you are bringing up slavery? This has nothing to do with slavery, unless you're referring to the Leftist movement that wants to indoctrinate our children, remove our God-given rights as citizens of a Free state, force us to believe that higher education is the only way to succeed, and many of the other horrific things they try to push onto the American public.
There's some useful information here, but for the most part it's another group of guys who think "my way or the high way", when it comes to living one's life. Either you match up to their "standards", or else you're worthless to them.
My opinion was spelled out in the first minute. I went to school in a rural area. Most of the people in my school were farm kids. Even the girls I went to school with knew how to drive a manual shift and back a trailer. They knew how to shoot and clean a deer. Stuff like that was taken for granted that everyone just knew how to do.
So what. As is becoming more and more typical of fake tough guys and hypocritical l0sers, YOU have made a blanket statement that everyone who grew up one is is the same. Why is it that the least mentally capable always assume they have all the answers? Let me guess....you claim to be religious and respect the Constitution, and honesty, but you support Trump the lying traitor because you share his views on minorities.
I’m from New York but I always thought it was weird that American culture doesn’t have any coming of age rituals. No matter who you decide to be afterwards I think there is merit in showing a young person that they can achieve something substantial
First of all, great video. As a woman and a farmer, I have to add my two cents. Years ago, we were still making small haybales for horses. One customer had a huge trailor and said she was going to pay some guys to load it for her. Told me, "You're going to love watching these college guys." They show up with their fake gym muscles and bawled the whole time. "Its hot, its dirty." They did such a terrible job only half the number of bales was stacked in the trailor. I was not impressed. There's no way I'll ever respect a guy who will let me out work them or, worse yet, beg me to do his job because he's too lazy. Dont be ashamed of working hard for a living. If you are dating a woman who is not proud of how hard you work, find another woman. And teach your sons,(and daughters), the value of a good days work.
My family had a family feed business. We sold hay for a living year round out of the Columbia River Gorge and surrounding areas (Eastern Washington State). It kept me damn fit. Favorite job I ever had. I worked in it for 7 years then joined the USMC.
I’m a second generation technician with a supervisory role. My father is a director. I’ve often found myself in leadership roles even without selling them. Over the years we’ve both noted the shift in what’s considered acceptable leadership. “Watch your tone” “be nice” F nice! I’m not at work to make friends, I’m there to do a job. It isn’t social hour. Save that crap for the bar or safe places.
I think the worst thing to ever happened to society as a whole was the cell phone and social media. The second biggest problem I see is the single parent family.
As a foreigner that has spent a lot of time in your country since the 90's, I agree with what you say, but the strength of your great country is the amount of people of faith that are holding strong and defending what is right. Much of the rest of the western world is in a far worse state with fewer good men willing to stand up to the evil. Thanks for the excellent content.
We are well into the "Weak men create hard times" phase of our nation and it will take several generations of suffering before we have another generation that is willing and able to create better times.
@@pro_154 The people to which you're referring are only here because they can't survive where they came from and need our taxes (government handouts) to live. The are the weakest among us. They will crumble first because they let their country die long before ours does. Their people have been weak for a long time.
The apple doen't fall far from the tree. If kids are as aweful as you claim, then it's your own damn fault. Take ownership and acknowledge that you're a defective leader and start taking steps to fix it, for your kids sake if nothing else. Sitting there and blaming the kids, who have the least control over the world around them, for the worlds problems is abdicating your responsibilities as a father.
Dropped out of highschool (keep in mind chicago public school) Got my ged, went to trade school for welding and probably the best decision I’ve made. I recommend all my friends struggling to find the next path in life to go the route of trades The problem is boomers , they didn’t pass any skills or knowledge off to their kids. You have a bunch of skill-less hopeless youth out there
Boomers literally fuked up the world. They traded real American made products for cheap foreign products. Traded savings accounts for 401k’s. Let Reaganomics happen. Gave up on unions etc. boomers are terrible.
Imagine being an elite warrior in a country with an obvious stolen election which is being run by people who are part of a global conglomerate imagine having all the training and army of brothers behind u and still doing nothing😂😂😂😂
As soon as he said "we spent $5,000-$10,000 on Christmas gifts.. i came straight to the comments! Rich folks, i can't relate. Kinda sounds superficial and materialistic..
I just made my wife and my life just flipped upside down, literally a day ago. Then you put this video out. You don't realize how much this hit home, and thank you. I truly wish I had a man like yourself in my life. A wise Christian mentor.
I agree. I graduated in 91, went straight in the military, worked a federal job for 26 years, made some good investments in properties and retired at 48. Never had a college degree. My guidance counselor and some of my high school teachers are still working with no retirement in sight.
These are the conversations me and my friends have and be thinking like we don’t have men to even have these conversations with us! Glad I came across you guys page
And if we had more of these conversations versus the crap with you on TV, can you imagine what a better world it would be. Thank you gentlemen so much.
Great video guys!! I'm aviation mechanic since I finished my vocational school and I'm still paying my bills and I never asked for a single aid in my life, if you have a project in life ,God will do the rest.Thanks
30:07 I agree “don’t focus on the negative”. That reminds me of the “circle of influence”. It says focus on what you can control ignore what you can’t. In the case of pulling the sleigh with negative things you can’t control the boulder and the negativity but you can control what you decide to do about it rather counseling or prayer etc.. Turning around and analyzing what it is you can do is in your power and moving forward with what you can control will alleviate a lot of the negativity on your shoulders, I believe.
His generation is the Ps they couldn’t bother to stand up to corpo overlords and politicians they just “Made it to the weekend” meanwhile their kids got indoctrinated by the school system and they glutted themselves with Cocacola Cigs and fast food. Yet gunna sit here and talk down to a generation that had no parents and got even further indoctrinated by smartphones and mass media. Yuri warned GenX and Boomers about what was to come and they ”made it to Friday” and footed a generation they paid no attention to or taught their bill. And wonder why the young men who aren’t NPCs don’t respect you geriatric idiots.
Tuning in from Australia! We’re having all the same problems over here too. Loved hearing your perspectives and agree with everything you’ve said collectively
This came into my feed - I’m happy that I clicked! New subscriber here, thank you for this. These are the conversations that I need to hear. God bless you gentlemen!
I was watching your video as same others guys you have, and I said to myself "GOD!!!!!!", what a blessing for me will be to seat with you guys and being part of your conversations!!! Is so much sense, and wisdom in what you guys always speak. I love not only your tactical videos but this kind of videos too. God bless you guys a lot!!!
My take on this is from my experience growing up. I watched my dad work his tail off every day in construction. We lived paycheck to paycheck. My mother stayed home and raised me and 5 brothers and sisters. None of my siblings, including myself, followed in my dad's footsteps. Absolutely nothing wrong with blue collar work. Its honest and its needed. But it's a hard life. I raised my boy up doing all the things men need to do to take care of their family. He didn't like it and probably still doesn't. I know one day he'll thank me. But I also strongly encouraged him to get an education so he didn't have to work his body to death. Not everyone will start their own business. We need workers. And the truth is most people will be just that, workers, not business owners. So for me the key to getting ahead in life is 1. God be your main focus. 2. Get an education in a field that's in demand. 3. Never stop learning about that particular field you choose to work in.
I can’t believe I came across this video. Absolutely incredible. Every single point made in this video is the struggle I am currently going through with my family, about college, about welfare benefits, about what it means to be your own person and find true meaning in your life. My family does nothing but take, even from God. They claim to be religious and participate in everything amongst the church but continue to have the most ungodly influence and attitude with their real colors. Thank you for this video Jason. You just gave me the biggest piece of hope I needed to know that what I’m standing for is right.
The environment changes the creature. This is basic evolutionary adaptation. Over the course of many years humanity struggled to survive in the harshest conditions. Toughness was a necessity for survival. And humans worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life by creating the environment that is the opposite of harsh. Now we’re here. We achieved this goal. We now live in a pleasant environment where being tough isn’t necessary for survival. If you want men to become tough again, then humanity will have to go back to harsh environments. Otherwise that change will not happen.
I’m one of those guys you are talking about and I blame it on me being raised by my grandpa who was too old to teach me stuff but I know he did the best he could and I miss him so much
I like this message, young guy at home in a rural area, working a remote job while in college trying to save up for a car for more opportunities. For the entirety of last year I walked, jogged, at least 4 days every week no matter the conditions. Devoted myself to cardio and weightlifting as well. Don't stop your goals if your stuck in one place keep moving forward to work on other areas. I say it all the time stay the course and be strategic also devote time to reading to sharpen our minds that is critical. I also agree social media usage esp for us young people is depleting our energy. We have to want to be better.
Nothing like some boomer complaining about the world that his generation created and trying to blame it on Gen Z for some reason. As a 20 year old I really appreciate hearing about all how great this country was back during your time only for you guys to take power and ruin it
I had to take care of my grandma because in 2021 she got sick and my cowards uncles forgot they had a mother because she has always lived with me. Now one of them saw the mistake and will take care of her but the worse thing of these days is that I couldn´t kick their asses because of this extreme woke world. Anyway, I could keep with the sports I love and I feel that was the reason I didn´t go crazy these two years and training is way more important than looking good in the mirror. We have to move our body to relax our minds. Thank you for this nice video and I can confirm this is global, I am southamerican and I can see the same problems some of the american and europeans see.
Great vids Gents...Thanks. I was born in 1970 and have spent my professional life mostly outdoors making things or with animals. The internet is great for me...obviously there is loads of junk on it but the good outweighs the bad for me. I keep track of geopolitics & my practical interests and my friends regularly but am fortunate to be able to let it go. I agree that there is a drive to emasculate men...mabey a consequence of too much easy times! I'm glad I'm not younger but believe that kids will grow up and correct themselves.
This is something I've written on a good bit. I call it "Tending Your Garden". That 'foundation' you speak of is exactly what folks generations ago were happy to throw away because the snakes in the grass whispered promises of better working conditions, pay, being kind, being fair, etc. If only you do what they say. Look to the future, not the past. Well, if you want the Bountiful Harvest, you have to put in the work to get it. That means tilling the soil, tending the seedlings, removing the weeds, fencing the area off so others can't come in and do damage, etc. Tradition, they say, is the answer to problems long forgotten. Look around you and see how many traditions we've thrown out, or only practice half-heartedly one time a year. That's the "foundation" men need because that's how men operate. It's how we're hard-wired. Even in the church, traditions are being thrown out because they aren't 'cool' or they 'might offend' someone outside the church. This strikes to the very core of men because men value loyalty above all, and if the churches won't be loyal to their own congregation and traditions of the church..... every guy knows on a subconscious level that the church won't be loyal to them. They might not be able to put words to the feeling, but it's still there. And this is why you are seeing a rise in interest in the Orthodox church that hasn't changed in a thousand years. It's also why you see people respecting jews and muslims, both groups who stick fast to their traditions, culture, and brook no jive from outsiders. You might not like them, but you have to respect them. Tending Your Garden isn't easy because it seems boring. Your grandfather tilled the soil. Your father tilled the soil. As a kid, you grew up seeing this and knowing that it's required to get the Bountiful Harvest, but it's so easy to believe you're smarter or better or know more. You can talk yourself into postponing things. Those weeds don't need to be removed right now. You can wait another week or two, right? That fence isn't very nice because the rabbits and deer were here before you were, right? How can you sit there with all that land, all that bounty, and not share with the people around you? Don't they have a right to eat? There's always snakes in the grass with promises of future splendor if only you'll listen to them. Give them a bit of power. Take a bite from that apple. Trust the snake because he knows better. Go through the history books and you see this same thing play out time and time again. We complain about how there are no good jobs left, but we forget that we are the ones who didn't Tend Our Garden. We are the ones who voted for one more tax, regulation, law, policy. We talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but never the million straws that came before it. Today, nobody people talk about bringing back shop class, but don't think about how weird it is to spend four years teaching a boy carpentry only to send him out into a town that has no woodworking shops. Maybe he'll enjoy framing houses, but how many houses do you really need? What about the kid who wants to build furniture? Well, we didn't Tend Our Garden. At the local level, we all supported policies, taxes, regulations and red tape that made it impossible for small businesses to operate. The Rust Belt wasn't always called The Rust Belt, and there used to be millions of small businesses that employed millions of people, fed millions of families. They all got shut down one by one as more and more burden was heaped upon them. But, hey, at least you got a clean river, right? At least you got that extra nickel on your pay stub! Tending Your Garden isn't easy.
my husband is ex-military followed his father’s advice and also followed his father’s family tradition. He joined with other veterans and formed a private security company and its been 6 years and our son idolizes him. My husband served in the SANDF South African National defense forces from 2005-2015 age 25-35. I love my husband he went through a lot and he shows a spirit of his heritage.

It's hard some days man but I wanna become a better fucking man you know.
A helpful tip. Do not take over the road hauls. The money is usually better. But you put a lot of time into earning it. Your time home & having time to train is easier if you stay local. I would find a job where you work 4, 10 hr or 5, 8 hour days being a yard jockey. Being a yard jockey will keep you moving physically as to on the road. JMO
We are soft and accustomed to a life of comfort. We hold onto pensions, homes, cars and status. People have lost the desire to sacrifice their way of life, or even LIVES for the defense and benefit of future generations.

Concerning college, take a look at Mike Jones aka Garand Thumb, went to med school for 4 out of 8 years and decided this sucks and it’s not for me. I think most everyone knows the rest of the story
I remember that, i got blacklisted from colleges because I ran my mouth to much plus high-school and in high school they were did everything to get rid of me,teachers hated and most students hated me, one thing I did regret was being too selfish at times not always but when I shouldn't have been 😢.
Being 74 years old and having been raised in the San Fernando Valley California and moved from Santa Monica to the Valley, The streets were dirt and they only had 5 major roads that were paved. I walked to school about 4 miles away from kindergarten to 9th grade, I did ride a bike for a short time but soon one of us would get there driving permits. At school I took Wood shop, Metal shop, and Farm studying and animal husbandry and this was from 7-8-9-grades . I snared rabbits and squirrels to protect my garden and learned how to clean and cook them. Personally I hadn’t eaten a chicken until I was 12 years old, cotton tail rabbits were everywhere and trapping with snares was the best way, the snared ground squirrel I could cut their tail off and get 10 cents per tail- that’s how I made money to get a 22 rifle, which was a Remington pump gallery gun used. Most of the food you used in those days you would grow, fish for or shoot and trap- from baking bread to butchering hogs, collecting eggs, growing gardens . Considering I was born in 1950 following my Father’s return from The War were he spent 3 years in Nagasaki after the Bomb had been dropped and returned home in 1948 . My Father first wife died of TB and my Mother got Polio 10 months after I was born, they thought I had it but Luckily Didn’t. Thought it may appear things are getting Rough Believe Me when I Tell You Rough was The Way It Was
God bless you...but it can get that way again, only men don't have the foundation you had to function in it. Gonna get ugly, esp if you're old like me. I can't grow weeds, bad rotator cuff, live alone, no family. Armed to the teeth but am really soon to be a sitting duck or in a facility. Facts.
Amazes Me how rich people with no financial issues or nervous pockets sit around and try to tell people the way they should act and live. These 3 won't last 2 days when the SHTF in a few months.
I weighed 286. That summer I took two things out of my diet. All sugar and all white flour. That was all. Over 3 months I lost 40 ponds and eventually reached my fighting weight of 208. I still don't eat either of those poisons.
Most college graduates I have met are net drains on society. As a welder with just special certifications I make more than most of them and have marketable skills. I love what I do as well.
We need more people in the trades right now. We need a balance. It seems like every other decade we either tell people to go to college or to go into the trades. The truth is, if you like going to the grocery store, if you feel like you might need a doctor in the future, if you like having garbage men to take your trash every week , if you like running water, if you like going on the internet or you think it's useful, you need people to keep it going and so on. You need a balance. Every job sector needs to be filled.
Big issue in America. As the generations grow softer here, there are hardened people around the world. Will this country be able to protect itself if this trend continues?

Glad to hear you guys talking about trade school. Bravo! Your GPA and education doesn’t make you a man. Your commitment to God and your family, to serve and protect, makes you a man. It’s heart and soul more so than brain in my opinion. I’m a 41 year old single mom of a daughter. I appreciate hearing men, real men, talking about family and God. There’s still hope. Thank you.
If you look at the work of Alison Armstrong, she breaks down the ways that women intentionally, or instinctively undermine a man's strength. There was a book about "The War On Boys." Boys end up in the care of women. If the boy's caretakers are grinding him down, or just neglecting him, it becomes a problem he has to overcome.
Don't blame the downfall of so many men, in this case, in general on 'women'. Men should be stronger than that. It's unhealthy to categorize and focus hate, and most often, it's the wrong answer if those emotions are involved. On Eden it's doubtful Eve was only approached by that charming 'communacative' walking snake one time. Where was Adam while this 'courtship' (?) was happening? He had a leadership roll as the primary I would suppose as the 'rib removal' creation of Eve from showed.
@@user-yt9zp3xz1n I never said I hate women. Alison talks about how she was emasculating men. Once she saw it, she could stop emasculating her son. If you don't see that women affect men, then you can't protect yourself from them. Stay ignorant, if that's your choice. For me, I try to see the truth.

I’m 63. Live in the country. Have trucked all my life. Friends are passing interests. The real friends have passed. Anyone come to see me it’s to borrow money or something I have. 😂. It’s not like it was 20-30 years ago. No truck stops anymore to talk with other drivers when you eat. It has become a solitary world.
Mr Short. Youre not alone. Not everyone has it smooth in life. Theres going to be ups and downs. Im sort of in the sane rut as you at the moment. But never stop trying and try not to lose hope in the future. Thats what Ive been struggling with (seeing our nation reduced to a 3rd world shit hole status.) I hope theres still great days ahead for the future of this country but I strongly doubt it.
College has turned into a “ponzie scheme”. Tuition is skyrocketing but employment is still too high. Where’s the result for the majority of those who go to college?
A girl starts menstruating and, if she gets "the talk", knows her purpose in life as a woman. A boy has to figure it out. That's why a solid foundation is a good idea. You don't want a bunch of boys tryin' to "figure it out" without it, believe me.
Wow! Great video!! This is rare to hear an older man with younger men and discussing TRUTH! Ya'll ought to do this more! I'm sending this to my 3 son's. Keep walking with our KING!!
No need to denigrate or stereotype certain jobs or profession types to elevate another. That goes either way for blue versus white collar. And employed versus self-employed. We need blue collar. We also need white collar. And one isn’t necessarily any more masculine than the other. Let’s not kid ourselves into thinking otherwise.

Be happy that men like me care enough about the youth to do what we can to guide. Be glad men like me step up when most fathers didn’t and won’t. Stop being offended by men trying to help. 🙏
My 19 yr old nephew once had the audacity to say to me “Uncle I expected better from you” I was offended because how dare he compare his experience playing video games (call of duty) to my 8 years of service in the Marines and the brothers and sisters I served with. When you have a Marine tell you to your face, man to man say “Hey Sergeant Lor, you know your job and what you’re doing. I trust you with my life” then you can come up to me and talk shit. Fun fact: I always wondered if my 8 yrs in made a difference to anyone. Hearing my fellow Marine say that to me gave me closure. When I EAS out I was able to fully move on with my life. I never once did tried to get back in, join the army or repost myself in uniform. Those words were all I needed.

Men really have to start NOT using the term "I feel like." Tells me that you use more emotions to make decisions than logic.
When you say this it shows how immature you are. God gave you feeling to navigate life. It’s not a debate. It’s fact.
Stop watching that BS motivational stuff you’ve been watching buddy and start being a real man.
@@frogmantactical No, Jason is on to something. Feelings do have their place, but in a man, they need to be tempered, modulated, and subordinated.
A man shouldn't be emotion driven, and far too many are, these days.
You’re both right. You can be both logical and emotional and it’s okay to be both. One without the other is meaningless.
100% agree, not sure when it started, the transition from "I think" to "I feel," but I've never liked how it sounded.
Kevin Samuels was also against other men saying "I feel like"
I dropped out of high school, bad decision. Got my GED, and an associates degree in operations management. Worked in a machine shop for 13 years before becoming a supervisor. I now have a bachelors degree and a six sigma black belt. The problem is I am 66 years old. I wasted time, and now I am paying for it. Get grounded in your youth.
It's so sad for anyone when the adults around you growing up don't infect you with Wisdom. Social Engineering in the society around us is usually to blame.

Having two solid parents is key. I routinely go to yoga or meditation with my mom in the morning, then I pop over to the shooting range with my dad in the afternoon! They both taught me different but equally important things and made me a well balanced person.

I'm thankful I was raised by my Grandpa. He was a man who grew up in the great depression, fought in world war 2, built his own house, and his own business. My Grandpa wouldn't allow TV or video games in the house.
He taught me how to shoot when I was 6, and gave me a Ruger 10/22. He taught me how to hunt, how to fish, how to grow a garden, and how to build.
Everyone growing up would comment on how "hard" he was on me, and how strict he was. The truth is, he saw how society was going, and was determined to make sure I didn't go the same way.
Now, I'm 40. I own 40 acres, built my own cabin, have my own farm, and my own shooting range. Gramps left this world 20 years ago, but the lessons he taught me still stick with me.
Taking away TV and video games is a shame, because while they can become an addiction there's pleasure in the act of play. You can't deny yourself play, even as an adult. Play is actually used as therapy believe it or not.
If there was no TV I assume you had no computer either, which stunted your mental development and desire to explore swaths of open-source knowledge on these platforms. I guess you're here now.
I'm currently going into Cybersecurity because I value mediums to connect to people like this, and I believe its a gift to safeguard the internet, or at least parts of it.
@@johndoe1274 I view it as a blessing, not spending time with all the technology gave me so much time to put my energy into other things without being distracted.
I still had hobbies, just not hobbies he viewed as a waste of time.
I learned to play multiple musical instruments, I learned to build things, how to weld, how to fix vehicles, etc. As opposed to looking at places "I'd like to visit" on the internet, I started traveling the world at 16.
So it was a very different way of growing up, but I don't view it as a handicap at all.
Because of the way I was raised, there's very few things I have to hire someone els3 to do.

What kind of grown man believes in and fears an invisible man in the sky?
The best thing any young man can do these days is start in the trades. Not only will you become resilient to hard work, you’ll become resilient to people - your fellow co-workers will bust your balls, and management will tell you to stay later with your purple balls. If you make it through that, you’re going to learn how much of a man you truly are. Oh I forgot the pay is pretty damn good considering no student loan debt. You’re welcome.
Disagree to a point. What if this young man wants to be a doctor or a lawyer? Would encouraging him to go into the trades be the best thing for him just so he can learn to be a man? I think teaching a boy to become a man is the responsibility of the father, not a job.

But it is written, frogman.
Psalms 1:1-6
Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners,
Or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
If the entire country did this, where would we be?
One of the 7 things God detests is a coward. Even Jesus told the decipher was, if you have to sell your garments for a sword. Of course we should be godly and obey God's word, we all Have the right to defend ourselves if someone is trying to kill us our wives or children. 🙏

My opinion was spelled out in the first minute.
I went to school in a rural area. Most of the people in my school were farm kids. Even the girls I went to school with knew how to drive a manual shift and back a trailer. They knew how to shoot and clean a deer. Stuff like that was taken for granted that everyone just knew how to do.
So what. As is becoming more and more typical of fake tough guys and hypocritical l0sers, YOU have made a blanket statement that everyone who grew up one is is the same. Why is it that the least mentally capable always assume they have all the answers? Let me guess....you claim to be religious and respect the Constitution, and honesty, but you support Trump the lying traitor because you share his views on minorities.

I’m from New York but I always thought it was weird that American culture doesn’t have any coming of age rituals. No matter who you decide to be afterwards I think there is merit in showing a young person that they can achieve something substantial
First of all, great video. As a woman and a farmer, I have to add my two cents. Years ago, we were still making small haybales for horses. One customer had a huge trailor and said she was going to pay some guys to load it for her. Told me, "You're going to love watching these college guys." They show up with their fake gym muscles and bawled the whole time. "Its hot, its dirty." They did such a terrible job only half the number of bales was stacked in the trailor. I was not impressed. There's no way I'll ever respect a guy who will let me out work them or, worse yet, beg me to do his job because he's too lazy. Dont be ashamed of working hard for a living. If you are dating a woman who is not proud of how hard you work, find another woman. And teach your sons,(and daughters), the value of a good days work.
Lmao shut up boomer. Nice fake story
My family had a family feed business. We sold hay for a living year round out of the Columbia River Gorge and surrounding areas (Eastern Washington State). It kept me damn fit. Favorite job I ever had. I worked in it for 7 years then joined the USMC.
Fake gym muscles lmao

30:07 I agree “don’t focus on the negative”. That reminds me of the “circle of influence”. It says focus on what you can control ignore what you can’t. In the case of pulling the sleigh with negative things you can’t control the boulder and the negativity but you can control what you decide to do about it rather counseling or prayer etc.. Turning around and analyzing what it is you can do is in your power and moving forward with what you can control will alleviate a lot of the negativity on your shoulders, I believe.
This has "Old man yells at sky" energy.
His generation is the Ps they couldn’t bother to stand up to corpo overlords and politicians they just “Made it to the weekend” meanwhile their kids got indoctrinated by the school system and they glutted themselves with Cocacola Cigs and fast food. Yet gunna sit here and talk down to a generation that had no parents and got even further indoctrinated by smartphones and mass media. Yuri warned GenX and Boomers about what was to come and they ”made it to Friday” and footed a generation they paid no attention to or taught their bill. And wonder why the young men who aren’t NPCs don’t respect you geriatric idiots.

My take on this is from my experience growing up. I watched my dad work his tail off every day in construction. We lived paycheck to paycheck. My mother stayed home and raised me and 5 brothers and sisters. None of my siblings, including myself, followed in my dad's footsteps. Absolutely nothing wrong with blue collar work. Its honest and its needed. But it's a hard life. I raised my boy up doing all the things men need to do to take care of their family. He didn't like it and probably still doesn't. I know one day he'll thank me. But I also strongly encouraged him to get an education so he didn't have to work his body to death. Not everyone will start their own business. We need workers. And the truth is most people will be just that, workers, not business owners. So for me the key to getting ahead in life is 1. God be your main focus. 2. Get an education in a field that's in demand. 3. Never stop learning about that particular field you choose to work in.
I can’t believe I came across this video. Absolutely incredible. Every single point made in this video is the struggle I am currently going through with my family, about college, about welfare benefits, about what it means to be your own person and find true meaning in your life. My family does nothing but take, even from God. They claim to be religious and participate in everything amongst the church but continue to have the most ungodly influence and attitude with their real colors. Thank you for this video Jason. You just gave me the biggest piece of hope I needed to know that what I’m standing for is right.
The environment changes the creature. This is basic evolutionary adaptation.
Over the course of many years humanity struggled to survive in the harshest conditions. Toughness was a necessity for survival. And humans worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life by creating the environment that is the opposite of harsh.
Now we’re here. We achieved this goal.
We now live in a pleasant environment where being tough isn’t necessary for survival.
If you want men to become tough again, then humanity will have to go back to harsh environments.
Otherwise that change will not happen.
I’m one of those guys you are talking about and I blame it on me being raised by my grandpa who was too old to teach me stuff but I know he did the best he could and I miss him so much

Oh so sad. Let me guess, he didn't had the time to teach you self-respect. Seems like that great generation wasn't that great.

I like this message, young guy at home in a rural area, working a remote job while in college trying to save up for a car for more opportunities. For the entirety of last year I walked, jogged, at least 4 days every week no matter the conditions. Devoted myself to cardio and weightlifting as well. Don't stop your goals if your stuck in one place keep moving forward to work on other areas. I say it all the time stay the course and be strategic also devote time to reading to sharpen our minds that is critical. I also agree social media usage esp for us young people is depleting our energy. We have to want to be better.
Nothing like some boomer complaining about the world that his generation created and trying to blame it on Gen Z for some reason. As a 20 year old I really appreciate hearing about all how great this country was back during your time only for you guys to take power and ruin it
I had to take care of my grandma because in 2021 she got sick and my cowards uncles forgot they had a mother because she has always lived with me. Now one of them saw the mistake and will take care of her but the worse thing of these days is that I couldn´t kick their asses because of this extreme woke world. Anyway, I could keep with the sports I love and I feel that was the reason I didn´t go crazy these two years and training is way more important than looking good in the mirror.

Look to the future, not the past.
Well, if you want the Bountiful Harvest, you have to put in the work to get it. That means tilling the soil, tending the seedlings, removing the weeds, fencing the area off so others can't come in and do damage, etc.
Tradition, they say, is the answer to problems long forgotten. Look around you and see how many traditions we've thrown out, or only practice half-heartedly one time a year. That's the "foundation" men need because that's how men operate. It's how we're hard-wired.
Even in the church, traditions are being thrown out because they aren't 'cool' or they 'might offend' someone outside the church. This strikes to the very core of men because men value loyalty above all, and if the churches won't be loyal to their own congregation and traditions of the church..... every guy knows on a subconscious level that the church won't be loyal to them. They might not be able to put words to the feeling, but it's still there. And this is why you are seeing a rise in interest in the Orthodox church that hasn't changed in a thousand years. It's also why you see people respecting jews and muslims, both groups who stick fast to their traditions, culture, and brook no jive from outsiders. You might not like them, but you have to respect them.
Tending Your Garden isn't easy because it seems boring. Your grandfather tilled the soil. Your father tilled the soil. As a kid, you grew up seeing this and knowing that it's required to get the Bountiful Harvest, but it's so easy to believe you're smarter or better or know more. You can talk yourself into postponing things. Those weeds don't need to be removed right now. You can wait another week or two, right? That fence isn't very nice because the rabbits and deer were here before you were, right? How can you sit there with all that land, all that bounty, and not share with the people around you? Don't they have a right to eat?
There's always snakes in the grass with promises of future splendor if only you'll listen to them. Give them a bit of power. Take a bite from that apple. Trust the snake because he knows better.
Go through the history books and you see this same thing play out time and time again. We complain about how there are no good jobs left, but we forget that we are the ones who didn't Tend Our Garden. We are the ones who voted for one more tax, regulation, law, policy. We talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but never the million straws that came before it.
Today, nobody people talk about bringing back shop class, but don't think about how weird it is to spend four years teaching a boy carpentry only to send him out into a town that has no woodworking shops. Maybe he'll enjoy framing houses, but how many houses do you really need? What about the kid who wants to build furniture?
Well, we didn't Tend Our Garden. At the local level, we all supported policies, taxes, regulations and red tape that made it impossible for small businesses to operate. The Rust Belt wasn't always called The Rust Belt, and there used to be millions of small businesses that employed millions of people, fed millions of families. They all got shut down one by one as more and more burden was heaped upon them.
But, hey, at least you got a clean river, right? At least you got that extra nickel on your pay stub!
Tending Your Garden isn't easy.
my husband is ex-military followed his father’s advice and also followed his father’s family tradition.
He joined with other veterans and formed a private security company and its been 6 years and our son idolizes him. My husband served in the SANDF South African National defense forces from 2005-2015 age 25-35. I love my husband he went through a lot and he shows a spirit of his heritage.
Thank you for sharing Brother. I appreciate your walk, transparency, accountability and passion for the Lord

I'd like to move out and get my own apartment soon as I get a job as a truck driver and eventually I'd like to get into cage fighting in the future.
It's hard some days man but I wanna become a better fucking man you know.
Amen to that. Keep killing it my friend. 🙏
Good on you, keep pushing forward brother.
Woaww. Need some medal right there.....
Keep on improving. Have Faith, be content and show gratitude for all blessings.
A helpful tip. Do not take over the road hauls. The money is usually better. But you put a lot of time into earning it. Your time home & having time to train is easier if you stay local. I would find a job where you work 4, 10 hr or 5, 8 hour days being a yard jockey. Being a yard jockey will keep you moving physically as to on the road. JMO
Too many women in charge of things now. It's effeminating our country.
Great conversation. "God has already promised you victory!" Hallelujah!
well said Gentlemen
We are soft and accustomed to a life of comfort. We hold onto pensions, homes, cars and status. People have lost the desire to sacrifice their way of life, or even LIVES for the defense and benefit of future generations.
Wait till you find out what the "greatest generation" thinks about guys that were born in the 60s and 70s lol. They said the exact same thing
True, but the situation is entirely different now.
"You're called to be warriors, God has already promised you victory" - This is what the Taliban sound like.
Yeah that was a weird sentence. God hasn’t promised any of us shit. I don’t know why the old man would say something so naive.
Amen, Frogman! Thank you for the Podcast.
Great talk. I’ve shared this with others that needed this message!
I appreciate you brother!
The problem with men today is some of them think it’s ok to use a key-mod rail system instead of picatinny 🙄

God Bless you and your family. May God Bless all who watch as well.
In all things honor God. Difficult but worthy adventure. Thank you for your ideas and perspectives.
Risk taking requires a certain mindset, something they seldomly teach at school, including college.
Love your testimony.
The government and society has created a feminine environment for women...As a Veteran I noticed it, coming back from Overseas...There doesn't seem to be very many masculine spaces ...
Concerning college, take a look at Mike Jones aka Garand Thumb, went to med school for 4 out of 8 years and decided this sucks and it’s not for me. I think most everyone knows the rest of the story
Medical school? Medical school is fictional. Do you act like mental illness ecosystems outside of fiction too?
I remember that, i got blacklisted from colleges because I ran my mouth to much plus high-school and in high school they were did everything to get rid of me,teachers hated and most students hated me, one thing I did regret was being too selfish at times not always but when I shouldn't have been 😢.

Being 74 years old and having been raised in the San Fernando Valley California and moved from Santa Monica to the Valley, The streets were dirt and they only had 5 major roads that were paved. I walked to school about 4 miles away from kindergarten to 9th grade, I did ride a bike for a short time but soon one of us would get there driving permits. At school I took Wood shop, Metal shop, and Farm studying and animal husbandry and this was from 7-8-9-grades . I snared rabbits and squirrels to protect my garden and learned how to clean and cook them. Personally I hadn’t eaten a chicken until I was 12 years old, cotton tail rabbits were everywhere and trapping with snares was the best way, the snared ground squirrel I could cut their tail off and get 10 cents per tail- that’s how I made money to get a 22 rifle, which was a Remington pump gallery gun used. Most of the food you used in those days you would grow, fish for or shoot and trap- from baking bread to butchering hogs, collecting eggs, growing gardens . Considering I was born in 1950 following my Father’s return from The War were he spent 3 years in Nagasaki after the Bomb had been dropped and returned home in 1948 . My Father first wife died of TB and my Mother got Polio 10 months after I was born, they thought I had it but Luckily Didn’t. Thought it may appear things are getting Rough Believe Me when I Tell You Rough was The Way It Was
God bless you...but it can get that way again, only men don't have the foundation you had to function in it. Gonna get ugly, esp if you're old like me. I can't grow weeds, bad rotator cuff, live alone, no family. Armed to the teeth but am really soon to be a sitting duck or in a facility. Facts.
Amazes Me how rich people with no financial issues or nervous pockets sit around and try to tell people the way they should act and live.
These 3 won't last 2 days when the SHTF in a few months.
Boy if men like me won’t last two days that means you have mere seconds. 🤦♂️
I weighed 286. That summer I took two things out of my diet. All sugar and all white flour. That was all. Over 3 months I lost 40 ponds and eventually reached my fighting weight of 208. I still don't eat either of those poisons.
Nice. Great work. 🙏
Most college graduates I have met are net drains on society. As a welder with just special certifications I make more than most of them and have marketable skills. I love what I do as well.
100%. College students are just brainwashed slaves. Totally useless.
Failed parenting at work
We need more people in the trades right now. We need a balance. It seems like every other decade we either tell people to go to college or to go into the trades. The truth is, if you like going to the grocery store, if you feel like you might need a doctor in the future, if you like having garbage men to take your trash every week , if you like running water, if you like going on the internet or you think it's useful, you need people to keep it going and so on. You need a balance. Every job sector needs to be filled.
Big issue in America. As the generations grow softer here, there are hardened people around the world. Will this country be able to protect itself if this trend continues?
Sounds similar to Rome.
Not sure how this video found me, however I needed this message. Thank you
Jesus loves you my friend. 🙏
Chemical shifts when eating processed food is the same as internet dopamine triggers. The combination is bad. Im backing away from phone and fasting from it to reset the offsets. The profiling phone through artificial intelligence can know us better than we can imagine
Glad to hear you guys talking about trade school. Bravo! Your GPA and education doesn’t make you a man. Your commitment to God and your family, to serve and protect, makes you a man. It’s heart and soul more so than brain in my opinion. I’m a 41 year old single mom of a daughter. I appreciate hearing men, real men, talking about family and God. There’s still hope. Thank you.
If you look at the work of Alison Armstrong, she breaks down the ways that women intentionally, or instinctively undermine a man's strength. There was a book about "The War On Boys." Boys end up in the care of women. If the boy's caretakers are grinding him down, or just neglecting him, it becomes a problem he has to overcome.
Don't blame the downfall of so many men, in this case, in general on 'women'. Men should be stronger than that. It's unhealthy to categorize and focus hate, and most often, it's the wrong answer if those emotions are involved. On Eden it's doubtful Eve was only approached by that charming 'communacative' walking snake one time. Where was Adam while this 'courtship' (?) was happening? He had a leadership roll as the primary I would suppose as the 'rib removal' creation of Eve from showed.
@@user-yt9zp3xz1n I never said I hate women. Alison talks about how she was emasculating men. Once she saw it, she could stop emasculating her son. If you don't see that women affect men, then you can't protect yourself from them. Stay ignorant, if that's your choice. For me, I try to see the truth.
@@user-yt9zp3xz1nIt's tempting for women these days because they are empowered by feminist movements that are anti God and anti man. And then they raise weak emasculated boys that turn into weak men.
Feminism and empowerement of women has ruiined our society completely and has given them the power that is so true though
Caretakers are fictional.
I overlooked this channel many times thinking it was more BS...then out of boredom i watched this and i owe frogman an apology and i subscribed....good stuff gentlemen!
Agreed! However at 51 I have to admit that I am guilty of taking life for granted instead of grabbing life by the horns and doing better for myself I have let myself become a useless loser and failure, with no friend, or family outside of my wife and cat!
Well I don’t hang around many people either and I love being around my wife and dog. It’s our life.
Get up and start making changes. 🙏
I’m 63. Live in the country. Have trucked all my life. Friends are passing interests. The real friends have passed. Anyone come to see me it’s to borrow money or something I have. 😂. It’s not like it was 20-30 years ago. No truck stops anymore to talk with other drivers when you eat. It has become a solitary world.
Mr Short. Youre not alone. Not everyone has it smooth in life. Theres going to be ups and downs. Im sort of in the sane rut as you at the moment. But never stop trying and try not to lose hope in the future. Thats what Ive been struggling with (seeing our nation reduced to a 3rd world shit hole status.) I hope theres still great days ahead for the future of this country but I strongly doubt it.
College has turned into a “ponzie scheme”. Tuition is skyrocketing but employment is still too high. Where’s the result for the majority of those who go to college?
A girl starts menstruating and, if she gets "the talk", knows her purpose in life as a woman. A boy has to figure it out. That's why a solid foundation is a good idea. You don't want a bunch of boys tryin' to "figure it out" without it, believe me.
And even when we do figure it out, we're fought at every turn
@@smokingcrab2290by men. Don’t forget to hold men accountable for what they do to other men. The whole “man up no emotion “ message is so cringe.
Wow! Great video!! This is rare to hear an older man with younger men and discussing TRUTH! Ya'll ought to do this more! I'm sending this to my 3 son's. Keep walking with our KING!!

No need to denigrate or stereotype certain jobs or profession types to elevate another. That goes either way for blue versus white collar. And employed versus self-employed. We need blue collar. We also need white collar. And one isn’t necessarily any more masculine than the other. Let’s not kid ourselves into thinking otherwise.

Courage. Men need to have courage always. That’s what the pacification is, canceling courage.
My 19 yr old nephew once had the audacity to say to me “Uncle I expected better from you”
I was offended because how dare he compare his experience playing video games (call of duty) to my 8 years of service in the Marines and the brothers and sisters I served with.
When you have a Marine tell you to your face, man to man say “Hey Sergeant Lor, you know your job and what you’re doing. I trust you with my life” then you can come up to me and talk shit.
Fun fact: I always wondered if my 8 yrs in made a difference to anyone. Hearing my fellow Marine say that to me gave me closure. When I EAS out I was able to fully move on with my life. I never once did tried to get back in, join the army or repost myself in uniform. Those words were all I needed.
