I think that with the direction we seem to be heading in now, these skills could once again prove to be very useful.
So true my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you.
Yep...notice the sewing channels have a zillion views, etc? Another lost art, soon to be needed again. I'm in my 60s and am shocked at how many women I know that "don't cook"....!!!!!
I sure miss those neighbor helping neighbor days..things sure have changed.
Thanks Donnie, love the Appalachians
Me to my friend. God bless you. Thanks so much for sharing this.
If only we could go back home!!! But we can't so at least we have the memories of Growing up like this in the Country in our Younger Days! I Miss Those GOOD OL' DAYS!!!! God bless you Donnie and your Family!
Amen to that my friend. God bless you. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing this Mr Donnie ❤ It was a hard, simple, but beautiful way of life back then. That was before it was decided to take God out of everything. When the light is kept out, only darkness exists. This world needs to get back into the light. God bless you ❤
Awesome my friend and. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome. God bless you.
Amen
Great job taking us back in time. There was a lot of love for each other to back in those days. I was born in 1971 and just know I was once in those mountains in an earlier life. It’s so familiar to me in my heart. Cheers !
Awesome my friend. So glad you enjoy them. God bless you. Thank you.
Thank you once again for the memories, brother Donnie! As a sharecropper's son, these memories are so familiar, and they are definitely sweet memories. ❤ I long for those days when a man's word meant far more than a signature on a piece of paper, and that remains true for me today. My word is my bond, and I'll walk through fire, if need be, to make sure I keep my word, just like my daddy before me. Thanks again, brother, and I wish you and yours Shabbat Shalom and the richest of G-d's blessings! Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem, brother!
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing your memories. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Thank you brother Donnie for sharing these precious pictures and stories! I wish our young people could experience some of this life. They don’t understand the difference between a need and a want. God bless and thank you! ✝️
Your very welcome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. I do to. God bless you.
My Grandpa traded a lot when he was younger and raising his family. Grandma used to say, he made better trading than trying to work a job. A lot of people in our region,in those days often raised Caine to make sorghum and robbed Bee Trees for sweetener.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your memories. God bless you.
One of my great grandpa's made sorghum molasses. It was said he made the best sorghum West of the Mississippi. Never allowed a steel blade to touch it. Only handmade wooden machete.
Morning my friend. It's sad how this is disappearing
Good morning my friend. That's so true.
@@donnielaws7020 I always carry a pocket knife
Yeah I’m in southern Virginia and it’s definitely a thing of the past. When Walmart opened up in my town it put all the mom and pop stores out of business. Now you can’t get quality or good service. Only cheap foreign products and a self checkout
That's so true my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
You got that wright😂
Thank you Donnie what a great video. I wish there was a time machine. It was hard in those times but it seemed people were more grateful and appreciative. You are the best Donnie! Keeping history alive. Blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏼🌟🥰🕊️
Awesome my friend. God bless you. Your very welcome.
I promised with a handshake to buy the 10 acres I live on now. He took it off the market and held it for me until I could sell my house. Just on a handshake. There's still a few people that believe your word is your bond. I like telling that story. I bought my property on a handshake. God bless brother.
That's so awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you.
I'm now 68.
Grandaddy Morgan told it that his family only needed salt and sugar from the store. The rest they raised or swapped for.
His big job was driving the cattle off the mtn to the cove come summertime and driving them back come fall. He said he had to walk that whole distance (there & back) by himself cause the only other boy in the family, Uncle Glenn, was too puny.
WOW that's amazing my friend. God bless him. Thanks so much for sharing this.
My grandmother told me about her childhood, but it was in Michigan..up north from here. Yes, trading for services and what ever still goes on today. Thank you Donnie. God Bless!
Awesome my friend. Your very welcome.
Another fine story Mr.Donnie that is so true. I remember my great grampaw remarking on these things many times.I know my great grandmother made fresh butter in wooden molds and churned butter because she let me help her with that and with her eggs. Grampaw made molasses too. It's hard to remember exactly what all they did tell me about. See you on the next one until then God Bless.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your memories. God bless you.
Very interesting, Donnie... I get the feeling we'll be doing some of this trading soon enough. God Bless you 😊💕
Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you. Good morning.
Yep
I remember our little community store , mama always paid our bill at the end of the month . I remember daddy ceiling a deal with a handshake, and neighbors watched out for each other. Those days may be in our past but not forgotten because of you and your videos.
Thank you Donnie for keeping memories like these alive.
May God bless you and your family.
WOW now that's a trade my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your memories. God bless you.
This really hits home about why the small communities in my neck of the woods are 8 to 10 miles apart.
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Good morning friend 😊
I love the simpler times thank you for bringing us this piece of history. My neighbors and I barter for veggies and eggs.. during the past few years eggs were expensive so my older neighbor gave me a basket of veggies for 2 dozen eggs not the same but it was a good deal.
Good morning my friend. That's so awesome. Thanks so much for sharing this.
It is the same just on a smaller scale🤗
Modern technology has it's uses but there's things that were done in "the old days" that should Never have been discarded.
God bless you All and I hope that you can keep making these videos Donnie ! 👍🏻
Today a handshake isn't worth what it once has.
My word is All I have and I have people who know that and that they can count on me. Wish more people were that way today.
That's so true my friend. Thanks for sharing this. God bless you.
💜
Hello Donnie, thank you my friend for sharing special video's like this. It really brings back a lot of memories. When I was small I remember going to the barber shop with my dad every Saturday morning and watching all the men trade pocket knives. This video brought a few tears to my eyes from the memories it brought back. No one around where I live trades anymore. It's sad to see it all disappear. Thank you my friend for the wonderful video's you share with all of us. God bless you and your family 🙏🤝❤️
WOW Thanks so much my friend for sharing your memories. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Thank you very much Donnie! Great example of integrity among people. Maybe one day we will get there once again. Keep up the great work !!
Your very welcome my friend. Thank you so much.
Good morning Brother Thanks for taking us back to those wonderful days when we loved the wonderful Blessing of everyday life and didn't take them for granted God Bless You Buddy, and thanks again
Good morning my friend. God bless you. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Back then a good man gave you his word it was solid. 9 out of 10 people kept their word to. Great video thank you Donnie sir for sharing this. I heard you was sick I pray you get better very soon Amen 🙏.
Thank you Randle. Me and my wife finally caught something we had avoided for 4 years. We are are slowly getting better.
Thank you. God bless.
@@donnielaws7020I'm saddened to hear that you and your wife have been ill.😔 I am relieved to hear your on the mend. This one takes quite a while to mend from and if you try and push it, it will relapse over and over again. 😔 Sending up healing prayers for both of you🙏
Thank you so much my friend. It's been a rough one that's for sure. God bless you.
Donnie thank you for sharing this with us I really enjoyed it the best part was the pictures of the old cars because I've liked cars since I was a kid I'd like to have some of them that were in the pictures
I love that you showed Mr. Haney from "Green Acres." I was already thinking about him... great minds think alike!
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
Nowadays people look down on real money. When it all goes digital I guess we'll all be tradin again.
Thank you for the fine memories.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. Your very welcome.

This was great! I had never heard or seen a rolling store where I grew up but the little town where we would go visit my parents family when I was young had one. I thought it was the greatest thing ever! The town also had a rolling library! Thank you for keeping these stories and pictures alive for us❤
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. Your very welcome.

Hard , But Wonderful Times ,Thank You For That Wonderful Video. GOD BLESS YOU
Your very welcome my friend. God bless you.
Great video it reminds me of my grandmother and the stories she would tell me about back from 1904 she said that her mother put her in the back of a covered wagon when they came from Tennessee to NC. and how they would pull beat wood leaves to sell and grandpa would get old pine stumps and cut it up for people in town to start their fires with for so much a bag. And how they would pull tannin bark . my grandpa helped dig wells for people and they hoed corn for a few cents a day.then they got a job at the cotton mill.plus there work at home.thanks for all the wonderful videos.a lot of my family is gone on now. But your videos helped bring back wonderful memories.have a blessed day 🙏
HEY DONNIE I REMEMBER MOST THESE THINGS . HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE DOING BETTER KEEPING YOU AND YOURS IN MY PRAYERS .
Thank you friend. God bless you.
As a boy I’d visit my cousins in Tennessee. They all were always trading knives like you said. My Uncle Melvin after he retired opened up a note car lot. Some of the trading he did would make one laugh. One time he traded a fellow and old used car for a few hundred bucks, a shotgun, and a dozen chickens. That really happened. It truly was a way of life and I’m so glad I got to experience it every summer. Thank you Donnie for reminding me of things that I would not recollect without your stories. God Bless Gary
I didn't know how they trade the Appalachian people these topics and stories are always interesting fascinating to learn and prosper great pictures and stories buddy
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Your welcome happy to be sharing with you anytime buddy
I still look forward to your videos. You are cataloging a way of life that people will only experience in a museum soon. I'm much younger than you, but I remember some of these things from my childhood growing up in foothills of east KY in early 1980s. I side hustle a little to supplement my income on my regular job. When I deal with some folks nowadays, I sit and think how some would probably get a "butt whoopin'" if they tried their shenanigans in my grandpa's day conducting business. I remember at least a little period of time when most people were honest. Thanks for the memories Donnie. You are a treasure.
I love listening to you tell about the olden days and the way of life. I know my grandparents and great grandparents lived that way. A hand shake and your word. Having good character abd integrity means so much. Thank you for these memories my friend.
Awesome my friend. That's so true. Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
The historic photos are neat Donnie......simpler times of days gone by...and days that might be coming as well....
Thanks again for the video Brother.
Thank you friend. God bless you. Your very welcome.
In the 70s when I would visit family in WV. I had friends there down the road. They had ponies. We went all over that holler. Would ride on the main/dirt road and find bottles when it was town day. That's how we got our treats. Makes you wonder though...litter or throwing out a treat for us to gather!? Earning our goodies. It was fun and exciting. We enjoyed gather, dreaming, we got joy out of the whole process.😊❤
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you Donnie for sharing with us.we had little community store.God bless y'all.
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing. Your very welcome. God bless.
Great video Donnie I really like
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much. God bless you.
Missed this earlier today. So nice to hear it later.!
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
THUMBS up to this video!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍🎆🎆 back in the day, my grandma would walk around the hill to the town to sale her eggs, creamery butter to the.
grocery store or for trade.
Awesome my friend. Thank you so much.
Good morning sir ☀️ have a great day and weekend.. GB 😊
Good morning my friend. Thanks so much. God bless you.
A very nice piece. Keep em coming sir. Be safe and take care.
Thank you friend. God bless you.
Excellent as always Donnie. 💜
Awesome my friend. Thank you so much.
I live in a small town in fl and this is still a way of life through my sickness i have traded and barterd n survived
Thank you for reminding us of how life was. At my age I remember this like it was yesterday and find it sad that not only is this gone but a man’s word and a handshake meant more than any legal contract today. They didn’t have much but they knew their neighbors and did what they had to to survive and lots harder work than folks do these days. So much is taken for granted and so glad you continue to share these stories to remind everyone that they don’t need things, they need each other, trust, hard work and kindness go a long ways. Bless you my friend
Amen my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Thank you for the story video! God bless you Mr. Donnie and have a great weekend.
Your very welcome my friend. God bless you.
That’s a great story Granny said she had gone as much as a year with out seeing a dollar she wood take her horse & buggy to a country store and trade her eggs for credit on her bill.This was a good story thanks Donnie !!! 😊❤
My Pap used to say, “If you break your word, you will break my heart, then I will break your bottom.”
Thank You Donnie. My Grandad taught me honor.... I understand neighbor....
Your very welcome my friend.
Thank you Donnie . I still believe in a person's word is their bond . I live by that principle all the time but I think those of us who embrace this value are a dying breed unfortunately. Daddy always told me if you say you are going to do something you damn sure better do it or at the very least let the person know that you can't. And he also said if you borrow something from someone always return it back to them in better condition than it was when they gave it to you to show gratitude.
Thank you Donnie for showing this video sad to see the old times disappearing
Your very welcome my friend.
GREAT VIDEO, WONDERFUL PHOTOS. YOU DO A GREAT JOB TELLING STORIES ABOUT THE PAST. GOD BLESS YOU.
Anyone of us who had parents who endured the depression I think realize that we are not far removed from what they experienced. My father in law who grew us in the depression era continued to "trade" for things. He was always happy when he could trade or barter for things he wanted or wanted done without having to exchange cash. I remember as a kid in Oklahoma when discount department stores first came along...before I every know of a K-Mart we had a large department discount store named "Trade Mart" I was completely amazed going into one store that had everything you could think of !
I was raised where a handshake was better than a piece of paper with your signature on it.
Your word and handshake was all you needed.
Amen my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
Brought back memories. My daddy kept a running tab when us kids were growing up. He’d pay up every Friday and we always looked forward to that cause we got cokes, chips, candy , ice cream or what we wanted on Friday. Love your videos!
That's so awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing your memories.
I could go on for ages about the stories I heard when it comes to trading, I inherited the your word is your bond and never soil the family name way of doing buisness but there's only a few left that do it that way these days.
Thanks for video, its a small part of that life that made a big difference to people.
Take care and God Bless!
Back then there was respect, morals, values, honesty. Your right everyone knew each other and if you done bad everyone knew it. A way of doing the right things and putting it right for doing bad. When they traded it was a fair trade or someone would work for a place to stay. I truly believe the people in them hills were very rich if they had land and the way they lived. Very strong people they knew how to do things city folks could not do and if someone was ailing, they knew how to fix the problem. These people were proud people for the hard life they lived and in the end they did survive. Unfortunately, many of the people today have no clue and I thank you for putting this out there. So, stay safe, warm/cool, and blessings.
Thank you very much Donnie for telling us the history of what people did long ago..God Bless you and family
Your very welcome my friend. God bless you.
It’s sad to think that jobs like sharpening saws and a lot of other are pretty much gone
It is my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Donnie! I just absolutely love these stories! I remember my grandparents talking about how hard. I remember growing up on the farm that Mom would sell eggs, milk, and butter for money to make ends meet. I was way too young but remember some things. I once watched my Mom wring the head off of a live chicken! I had nightmares about that! Lol. Please keep telling your amazing stories. I could listen all day & all night long! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
I sure wish it was like that now
Me to my friend. God bless you.
Ty Donnie ❤ This brings back such happy memories 😊
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
❤ I recall trading many pocket knives as a kid, and more than a few rifles, mostly .22's for squirrel hunting and I still have a couple of old red letter Winchester shotguns that I'll own till the good Lord says it's time.
Thanks for posting these videos.
Thank you sir for this story time..I enjoy listening to them..Have a great day
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
Hi Mr Donnie 👋 thank you for this one. We do have a couple good friends at church we trade with. Works well and we are all happy with our trades. Feel better soon.
when I was a teen, one of my first jobs was a cashier at a store... everybody paid cash... everybody... except the old farmers.... they would come in and I put all their purchases on a ticket... and they paid later one.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. That how they did it. Thank you.
Some of these trading things were still going on in the 70s when I was a child, me and my two sisters used to take old soft drink bottles to the old country store that was near our house, we would get enough change to buy some penny candy 🍬.
Im only in my 40's and miss the old days. Since i was little ive enjoyed the stories from my grandparents and other older folks. As much as i despise Walmart, dollar general is destroying the few mom and pop stores across rural ohio where im at. It disgusts me seeing those black and yellow stores popping up everywhere. Theyre well lit and clean with cheap prices at first. As soon as the local store turns their closed sign around for the last time, they get rid of most of their staff, dim the lights and jack the prices up.
i love these ol’ videos, donnie!! so special ❤
i watch when i’m sewing or painting. my maternal side is from byrdstown. haven’t seen that ol’ tobacco farm in far too long. thank you so much for all you do to keep this time period alive!!!!
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing. Your very welcome.
Mighty good story on a mighty good morning. I'll tell y'all this even though we got chain saws these days it's still a skill to get it sharp 😂 thank ya Mr. Donnie
Thank you friend. Ant that the truth. God bless you. Thanks for sharing.
So sad thT this is almost gone. I remember we did most of this!! Especially trading. HELLO from Naples Florida
Hello my friend. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
Get better Donnie love to listen ❤
This brings back memories of the peddler bus as we called it that ran by my Papa's house once a week. It was an old school bus converted into a rolling grocery store so to speak.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing your memories.
