Grandfather. Part III. Summer - Hay Making
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2018
- This is the third part of short documentary series about Grandfather. The movie uncovers one day in his life that has been shown in 13 minutes. It talks about his daily routine and dedication to his down to earth lifestyle his fathers lived. His passion and love is horses. He is an old and experienced horse logger and is doing all the farm work all year round using only horse power. He is a hard worker and fully self-sufficient and independent. He has been living off the grid, before there even was a grid. More series about him will come in Autumn and next Spring as part IV and II as a spring part, as we missed to shoot the spring part this year.
This is a real success story. A man who truly has everything. Through years of hard, passionate labor, Grandfather has beaten the system. A broken, highly disturbing system stuffed with greed, gluttony, unethical intent. It’s a fractured system designed to take as much as you can while you can, no matter the cost. This man is the true definition of success.
All you need to see of that man is the thickness of his fingers to know that he possesses the type of strength you can't build in a gym.
Strength of the Will.
Yes!!!!
Yump today pussie bodybulder lifter he can survive one weak with real work it is like compare beetwen wolf and domestic dog wolf is tuf indurance pure muscle for nature survive just like real man in past where.
Box5150 the fingers og my grandpa is sooo thick. Its almost funny to look at them😂❤️
You can get fat fingers from rock climbing as well but there are a lot of arrogant gym bros that possess no functional strength.
This Man's Man knows more about Life than most and he doesn't even need to say a word..... Absolutely Stunning
Nature does not hurry anything, yet everything is accomplished.
Legend has it he was so stoic, that the sharpening stone was formed by erosion while it was still in the old farmer's hand...

This is the source of longevity, to living a long life. Sense of purpose, fresh air and in touch with the land. This man should live forever!
That old gentleman is a mighty hard worker, and you can tell his loves his animals.
Eric Rusch Sr 赞同!天道酬勤
Eric Rusch Sr nah shit he's a farmer
Who gives a rip about the stupid animals. They are for use not for cuddling and looking at for fun. Without that bring them to the butcher.
Meister Eder I trust you know the difference between treating animals well and "cuddling". Saying all animals have to do is work and die for us is wrong, and even if it was true it wouldn’t justify treating them like shit. You’re a terrible human being
@@meistereder6382 some people need taking to the butchers too !
My uncle worked his croft alone until his death in 2006 , he too had hands like shovels and a deep understanding of the land he also had an inner peace and strength ive never seen in anybody else, i will miss him always
When I was a kid.. He brought me to his farm!! We'd fun in the farm.. He tells stories, he makes the best tea I still ever had 'cause I'm missing him so much!!
When I saw this video!! It reminds me a lot of my grandpa..
I wish I could just lay on his shoulder, listening stories even till today..
I never missed anybody like I missed my grandpa! 😘
I know he's in heaven watching over me.. I can't wait to meet my grandpa soon..
Everytime I saw his farm!! It just turn me into tears....
Now he's gone! But never from my heart 💜❤
Can't stop loving you GRANDPA!!
I miss YOU!!
May God bless your grandpa soul. You will meet him again when the time is right.
this should be a full length feature in the cinema. no dialogue like in this one.
I love those kinds of non-narrative documentaries. Checkout Sweetgrass. It's got people talking in it, but no narration. It's wonderful.
One of the healthiest lifestyles you can ever have.
You ever been kicked (or bit) by a horse ?? my brother (71) was crippled by one
Stephen Mortimer Hey. Please go away from here and leave your negotiations and anger with you...

What thing of value in this life, doesn't include hard work and trials and hardship?
Evgenii Semenov it is not the healthiest lifestyle but all the good thinks that people take doing this type of life is more than a typical today lifestyle. I prefer the country life with more help from technology. And in both types of life have bad an good thinks.
an animal does not behave this way unless he has a very good reason and more than likely people cause the problem
You're grandfather is a gift to you and your family! He is precious, be good to him. He is an amazing example to learn from.
Mrs.Layton'sClass
Yes, you're totaly right !! when I see this video , it's a beautiful life lesson.
You are absolutely right.. I want this life too
Very rarely do I stumble across something so inherently great in its simplicity. A thing to be admired, I could watch a full length feature of this man. Wonderfully edited and shot.
My eyes are sweating. I lost my grandfather, who was the most beloved human in my life, above all others, 17 years ago. I was fortunate he lived until 92 and I had him for 35 years. My only child was born 6 months before he died and I am grateful he got to hold her. He spent his entire blue collar life literally serving others as a waiter and maiter de. It was my honor and privilege for me to spend the last 10 years of his life providing for and assisting him as he did for me all the years proceeding until that time. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of him, albeit briefly. Although it’s been 17 years since his passing, it’s still far to painful even to reflect on all my most fondest memories, let alone the painful ones that consumed his final years. My grandfather is entirely responsible for the man I eventually became. I imagine, because it makes my heart warm with happiness to believe it, that this “grandfather” in this video has profoundly impacted others as mine did for me. Cherish everyday and even every moment, because there’s only unimaginable and never ending grief when it’s gone. Thank you, I think, for this video.
True Born Son Of Liberty I feel the same way with my grandmother whom passed away in '14.
I imagine I will still feel the same when 17+ years have passed.
I'm so grateful for her to have been such a big part of my life.
I feel your pain and joy of the memories left behind.
Sorry for your lost. He sounds like a very good man
Amen!! God Bless! I to had a wonderful grandfather!
Ive never had a grandpa really
Surely this farm should be preserved as a working museum/school to educate people about your grandfather’s way of life. Thank you for this amazing film series and to your grandfather too.
Today's generations would laugh and walk away from such work. This IS the best kind of work, brings you back to how things were done before today's technology. Back to the day when a man's word was golden and a handshake was as good as a man's word. This is the life that nature gives and you give back to nature. Was a true pleasure to watch this. Thank you.
Watching him drink his morning coffee it felt like a Norman Rockwell painting came to life!
i wonder what he thinks about all that time while being silent and working? id love to know what goes through his head. is he thinking about the next lot of work he has to do? is he thinking about a woman? thinking about his grandchildren? does he worry about things? is he thinking of the future? is he thinking of the past? is his mind just blank? super curious.
Interesting

― Jim Harrison
I got so much shit to do before winter. What happened to my body.
Probably relives the past.
He's in the zone not thinking about anything except on every second of what he's doing
There is a rhythm in nature that he fits into, men like that are truly a thing of the past
I watch this over and over iam 32 and live in new Hampshire and would love to live like this
My grandfather was a farmer in northern Minnesota from the early 1920’s until 1980. He loved his horses and never was a fan of tractors. Thanks for bringing back memories. I bet are very proud of your grandpa.
My grandpa too was a farmer all his life until he died in his 60s from leukemia
He as well was in MN born at the turn if the century had 11 kids and survived the depression taking care of them all. Loved horses as well I have been told. I never got to meet him, he died before i was born
A quite man hard working and a care taker of all he had
Wish I could have met you grandpa Joe McCormick, I want to be willing to live a peaceful hard working life like that
“Making hay while the sun still shines”. Now I truly understand, in al, it’s depth and clarity, what this phrase means! Thank you Jacob for showing the world what success entails! Your Grandfather is Grandfather to us all. Continued blessings to “Grandfather”, you, your family and us all!!! With love from CA!!! Humanity needs to remember what life and LIVING FREE really means to a life well lived. 💕❤️💕❤️👍
hard work but it looks like the paradise. "The best thing we can do is to enjoy eating, drinking, and working. I believe these are God's gifts to us." Ecclesiastes 2:24
That's the most worn scythe blade I've ever seen. I own several scythe's and can't imagine the number of years of use it would take to get a blade worn down like that.
I think the man has seen more hours of work than the scythe.
The story of a mans whole life is in his hands. this story says he could outwork me on my best day....respect!
for anyone whos never swung a sythe.
this man is a machine.an average joe off the street is wore out in about 5 minutes.
hats off t grandpa.
There is no strength like stubborn old working mans strength, if health allow them to still be strong at that age they may look thin and lanky and they may not be as fast as when they were young, but the body still remember how it's done the best way.
But he swaps for horse drawn!

Hello Kazakhstan👋
Greetings from Abyssinia 🕊
Nigdzie się nie spieszy i zawsze zdąży. Super życie.
I wont to cry, im remember my grandfather ( rip) and yesterday im grandfather too, thanks for your Videos, greatings from Greece
Please tell your grandfather thank you from us, for allowing us to get a glimpse of his daily life. Its really inspiring and therapeutic to watch :)
The way he moves and holds himself when he does work show real efficient skill with minimal energy expended. Amazing
Pensa no Senhor trabalhador parabéns pela força e determinação Deus o abençoe
Simply BEAUTIFUL,
A little hard work never hurts anyone.
All those animals around him, are all so calm!!!
that sure says a lot about him, BEAUTIFUL:)
There are great many grandfathers and grandmothers like him left in Latvia. For now. I am lucky to have three of them. Still farming, logging, fishing and living off land.
I could watch days worth of this footage
Oh my goodness!! Absolutely wonderful!! That was so awesome. That was precious! Made this grown man of 37 years almost cry. My own dear grandfather passed away like some 7 years ago. We we were very close. At his sunset yearshim and I would look out across the wheat fields of Kansas and watch some older men harvest there wheat. One his last comments was ( man I wish I could be out there with them working). Sadly this world's modern children are not learning to work. My lovely wife and I are trying hard to instill in our children the joy and values of manual labor. Our 13 year old daughter cooks complete meals from scratch by herself already. And our 10 year old helps me out side with my mechanic shop and cutting fire wood and such. Our 4 year old son helps momma in the garden and yard. As the rest of our children as well. Thanks again for this prec heart warming video!! If the rest of the world had these values, love, and patience it would be happier!!! Best wishes and God bless!!!
Our kids need to have half the will that this gentleman has. Beats the hell out of X-Box. Our kids need to be outside helping people like this and learning from them not belittling them because they are old. Love this man and what he stands for. I bet he has no problem sleeping at night.
Jacob, i really appreciate your act of show us how strong is your Grandpa. He is an example for all of us. For our Life. Thank you so much. ( sorry my bad english)
I remember people like this from my childhood ( I'm 24 ). These are my grandparents and great grandparents that lived like this ( my last grandmother still does ). This is a great man, I wish him a long long life, may the Sky Father protect him.
You can be so proud about your grandpa....take care about him
Very beautiful pictures and video
I hate it when people laugh about farmers
Damn what an intro. My grandfather got up at the same time and as your grandfather does. He would wake up, drive from his home 45 minutes to his bush lot. Sit and boil some water and make a coffee while waiting for the sun to come up so he could get to work for the day. He went and worked like your grandfather every single day until he was 89. I still remember sitting in my deer stand and hearing the sounds of his axe splitting wood off in the distance during crisp autumn mornings. I would often stop hunting and just go and sit and talk to him. Thank you for this series
touching portrait, remember this traditional farming in Austria more than 50 years ago, when I was this child petting the horse, riding those ancient machines sitting on the farmers lap. thank you for sharing. All my love to your grandpa
that is most like a chinese farmer's life,and grandpa is most like a chinese farmer,thin and tall,makes me miss my grandpa and my childish time,love ur movie.
Strong & healthy man. May the Lord continue to bless him.
Way cool this man is. Like a machine only human. Much respect from the state of Pennsylvania in the United States of America.
These videos of Grandfather are so beautiful; beautiful scenery and beautiful life lived. If only there were more people like this man. He reminds me so much of my own Grandfathers. Such men are rare and precious.
Вспомнил лето в детстве с дедом. Не любил тогда всего этого очень, сено, пыль, огород, хотелось по быстрее убежать с друзьями на речку, а сейчас даже ностальгия какая то. Нет этого всего уже, ну или почти нет. Есть что то в такой жизни, когда чувствуешь, что это твое, и работать приятно.
Wow!!! This just showed me how easy I have it and take it for granted... I thought I work but clearly I don't know what work is. Thank you for sharing
Well sir. My brother and I had the privilege... I'll say. Of walking thru huge fields of wheat and Milo in central KANSAS chopping out weeds with a machete. I'm a 37 year old white male. White men can learn to work also. It just seems they like it a little easier.
Everyone has a different kind of work to do, it's not always physical. This is life for a farmer, I'm a dairy farmer and I'll be honest I enjoy getting up early and having work to do, I'm lost if I go on holidays, by the third day I'm missing my routine and want back to my life. I prefer a weekend away if anything, I enjoy rugby and going for a weekend to watch a game but by Monday morning I'm happy I'm at home again. For this man I'd guess if he had to spend several hours a day in an office it would likely kill him.
@@jeffjefferson3364 i agree with you 110% i grew up on the farm 48 yrs ago . worked with beef cattle, horses, hogs, chickens , milked a few cows ( 5) by hand . found time to work on a feedlot too when i was still in high school was always an early bird . went into the construction field when i finished school . on my 48 th yr now . i also
do the same thing 3 days at the most is enough time off for me .
no telephone,no tv,no car,no stress,just pure life.Amazing.My childhod was the same and I miss it,very much and if I could I would buy the farm-small and just live on this way. Even that is hard work it is amazing . In the past people were better because of that kind of life,they comunicated instead watching phone,internet,tv and they respect nature and tradition and that is the only way to survive the world
The old days were very sweet.🐎🐎🐎❤❤❤🕯🕯
A wise and hard working gentleman, I am so glad that you filmed him.
Courageous , authentic , examplar , proud , strong , live with respect of Nature's environments , with the only strength of body and inflexible mind ; ( No working with electric engine or anything else... )
Please , give him my truly and deeper Respect.
Thanks to share this video , too.
May old gods protect and bless him.
Wouldn't and couldn't have said it any better, my fellow kin. :)
One of the best videos on the tube. As an American with most ancestors coming from Germany and England to farm here in the mid 1800s this has a special feel to the simplicity but constant busyness that kept there lives full. Now with the modern jobs and farming having all the tech. All we do is sit on our ass most of the day. I resort to cutting hay with a scythe and hand tool woodworking to find a place to relax and remember my ancestors hard work. I drive through the local Amish community and see the fruits of there labor and see a lot of value in what was once the norm. Some of the comments went way off on here. Trying to disect a horse kicking or modern medicine.
we think we know so much today....but we really don't. we have completely forgotten how to live independently. this is truly amazing
"He has been living off the grid, before there even was a grid" Love it!
Great video as always! Thanks!
Respect for this grandfather that he continues the tradition of using horses to work on the farm.
Give that old man a big hug for me please..
This is the way life is supposed to be lived, fair and simple
I miss my grandfather so much, I would give anything to spend one more day with him
What a treasure of a man. The strength, energy, and determination to do that kind of work day in and day out (and to keep up a beautiful property like that) is more and more rare. Great that his [great?] grand daughter can witness it.
I have no doubt that this man would work circles around me all day everyday...
One can just see the years of hard work etched in this Grandfather's features. Watching him work can make you romanticize the life that people lived and still live in the third world during the 1800s to the introduction of more modern farm equipment like tractors. It was and is a simpler life with many positives and some negatives . Some of us would like to go back in a time machine and walk in the footsteps of this Grandfather, I wonder if we could keep up and how long would we last.
He's just like my grandfather. I remember working with him. Beautiful life. I want it back!
Fantastic..... Damn..... This brings back such wonderful memories. Thank you more than you know....
Lost Nation
Десятилетиями отлаженный механизм , без суеты . Как приятно вспомнить былые ,безвозвратно пройденные времена . Жизнь была настоящая и люди под стать !!! Жаль до слёз ,что многое внуки даже и не понимают и не покажешь наглядно .. Дай БОГ деду и таким как он многие лета !!! Чечня
Perfect pairing of good old tradition lifestyle and high tech cinematography. Beautiful job!
i loved the whole three part series. for the Grandfather that does all of his own work by hand at his age, my hat is off! love the music and the great editing! Two Thumbs Up!!!
His hands say it all. Great job!
I'm very familiar with the work he is doing every day. That is that kip him healthy, active and in the wright frame of mind. Absolutely love it. God bless him and kip him.
I grew up in the country. Birds in the morning, sticky wet grass at dusk. Taking a breath made you happy, excited to begin the day. I currently live on the outskirts of a mid-sized city, next to a busy state road. I have a river view but I feel too self conscious to sit on my porch because I have neighbors all around. There's no connection to nature, people are angry. Even the dirt is angry. I'm not sure if I envy the people who don't know what it's like to dig their toes into healthy earth, or if I wish they could.
One of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen!
Nice vídeo ❤️
You can almost feel and smell the dry hay in the barn. Brings back childhood memories.
This great old Grampa has hands of steel !
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
❤️💕
Thank you for these videos. Hope there's more coming 👍
Love these clips because it takes me back to my childhood. I can hear the mowing machine clacking, feel the velvety softness of the horse's nose, smell the fresh hay as it goes into the mow. As an adult though I also know how unbelievably hard men like this worked. I have known many of them and they all had one superpower - they could deal with and learn to live with pain that would fell us today. That being said they likely wouldn't have changed a thing. It would be nice to see a series on the grandmothers too because their life was just as hard having, raising and caring for a large family. When I watch clips like these I try not to idealize the lifestyle but to respect it and appreciate the immense challenges that came with it.
He don’t smile a lot but the love is there! Jacob, thank you for showing the world what honoring your elders means. The world may be turning very quickly BUT a life well lived is immeasurable!
Just look at the the incredible amount of wood built up in that barn, probably enough for 10 years in that environment and we can’t even see through the end of the day, let alone a week or a month in our climate.
This is so inspirational on so many levels.
I thank you Grandfather, you don’t say much, but we all understand the loving message here. 💕 I love you too. ❤️💕
Absolutley beautiful all I can say
Totally insane production value. Loving the audio especially!
Audio completes and compliments every second of this wonderful video
Beautiful piece. The embodiment of a Norman Rockwell painting.
We want more videos about our precious grandpa, such a blessing.
Great video!!!
Happy Fathers Day !
Grandfather is the last of a generation that know what life and hard work is all about. Cheers!
This video needs to go viral,, So many today can't even imagine what the people had to do to live and survive, back then,they worked from sunup to sundown everyday except Sunday,, planting, sowing n harvesting Crops for a living They raised there children with Great Respect and love,, and all Neighbors were family who took care one another. We have become To dependent upon TOTAL TECHNOLOGY and COMPUTERS N CELL PHONES ,walking,, driving, eating, shopping, n even before sleeping only to awake to our phones for another day sitting at a computer in a Cubicle or a Desk the lazy man's job all the land is being sold for Profit to big time developers,,so they can try and fill the void in there heart, money can't buy Happiness, it only buys more Greed for more ,God Bless this UTube channel owner who shared this ,this is PRICELESS!!!!, a whole lifetime of living in one Video, Fantastic would of loved to sit and chat with him over that cup of coffee n bread
Today many people sit behind a PC and tell other they are at work. "WORK" They have no idea what work is. Fantastic video :)
I am very familiar with how that man feels at the end of a day. It's not a good feeling but I'm sure he or I would not have it any other way. I truly enjoy watching your videos. This is what a man looks like folks.
I could help him do every bit of that. I was raised on a farm and working with horses. I love cutting hay, splitting wood, working in a garden, and cooking. Working like this is what will keep you moving.
I smiled through this whole video. It's wonderful.
Спасибо за прекрасные фильмы
Dein Opa lebt an einem wunderschönen Platz.... Einfach super.... Dein Opa ist voll fit... Genial
Riding with grandfather on the mower, priceless. I wish you would have shown more of him with the kids.
My grandfather had 4 brothers and 3 sisters, they all grew up working the farm just like this. He taught me so much about how life should be before he left the earth. No matter where you are in the world, living a simple life and working the land with your hands and your mules/horses is one of the most rewarding lifestyles. We don't even have half of the knowledge our grandparents had, all we can do is learn and follow their example.
Very beautiful video.
I take my hat off to your grandfather.
Although I know of older tools from agriculture, but the "hay tuers" I did not know or the self-built "frequent" for the crumbs. So old agricultural machines, you only see in the museum.
I think your grandfather has a great deal of knowledge that you can learn a lot from.
There is a saying here, "sucking up like a sponge." I would try to "suck up" everything your grandfather tells you, otherwise it will be lost.
Grandfather is just like mine. Mine worked until he was 78. Please post more if you have some. Thanks.
Gerald Roth k
I think nowadays we need more people like him, all this social media shit is getting bigger and bigger and everybody loses the focus on important things
Little girls love horses. My daughter has always had ponies, but if we were old style farmers she would love the big ones just the same. Dog is man's best friend,but horses run a very close second.
Да уж, крестьянский труд никогда не был лёгким. С утра до ночи - заботы. Какие руки золотые!
I never saw a scyth with the second (upper) handle. Also noted how ground (from years of use) it is.
Can’t wait to see the next episodes of “Grandfather”. God bless you and your family, with much love from Los Angeles, CA.
A real living legend in my eyes there’s no way better then the old fashion way it always gets the job done he’s definitely stronger then anyone can imagine waking up every morning faithfully having that motivation to get it done is so beautiful I’m 23 and hate getting up for work every morning and fuss about it lol god bless this man honestly 🖤
