    Excellent! Another though-provoking topic that needs to be addressed! 🍻
    I consider myself lucky to have lived when kids were allowed to fail or succeed, and learn a lesson first-hand.
    Dealing with social dilemma as a child better prepares you for the realities of adulthood.
    Now, we've arrived at a place where no one should feel the slightest discomfort for even a second.
    Personal responsibility & self-reliance have been slowly whittled away.

    Man your videos have helped me, as the world around me only grows more crazy and "civilized" I dream to travel and be outdoors like the men before me. My siblings all dream of being on the screen or doing some silly dance on tic Tok while I hope to get outdoors and explore the world God created for us to live with. And yes there's a reason I said with and not on. But I just wanted to say I appreciate your videos. I have so much more to think about.

    I'm not very good at camping stuff, and I've never gone fishing, but later in my life (I'm sixteen now) I think I might try tramping across a country. Kinda like the old swagmen in the 1800s or like this one youtube channel, Vagrant Holiday. It sounds so interesting and alot more entertaining than my current life of going to school > home > job > sleep >repeat. Recently, I've been doing alot of walking around town and going on this small trail near my house alot. It's more entertaining than any games I've played recently.

    • @ManvsHistory
      @ManvsHistory  Год назад +3

      While we strive to embrace risk it must also be properly tempered according to each of our circumstances. The great Oglala warrior, Crazy Horse, made his name by taking great risks, but as he matured his antics were strongly opposed by his close friend He Dog- who later recalled pulling Crazy Horse aside and admonishing him, "My friend, you are past the foolish years of the wild young warrior; you belong to the people now and must think of them, not give them such uneasiness." So there's a balance there... be smart with your adventures and risks, but live your life. Hope that helps, brother.

    Interesting take on danger. I have always said you need four things for something to be an adventure.
    1. Travel: You can not have an adventure at home or in your backyard; you have to GO somewhere.
    2. Hardship: An adventure can not be easy; it must be challenging. Walking a paved trail through a park is not an adventure; an adventure is blazing your own trial through a forest. The adventure begins when the trails end.
    3. Danger: There must be an element of physical danger in adventure. If anything is safe, then everything is controlled and expected. Adventure is about facing the unknown and unexpected.
    4. Achievement: You have to have something to accomplish. Hunting a specific type of animal. Climbing a specific mountain peak. Reaching a specific location on a map.
    Without these three things, there is no adventure. An easy sailing trip in safe weather or riding a motorcyle on mountain road have travel, but that is just cruising around. Hiking up a mountain using a pre-set path can be demanding, but it is just exercise. Sitting in a tree blind with a rifle waiting for a deer to come your way is just grocery shopping. And wandering without a purpose, well then, you're just a hippie.

      @TheNotoriousCheeto Год назад

      @Real Alaskan Legends The journey is more important than the destination to be sure. I'm just saying that aimlessly wandering does not count as a true adventure. There has to be a purpose; see the view from a mountain peak, be the first to get somewhere, uncover something; that sort of thing.

    I am a 14 year old boy who lives in the suburbs of North Carolina. I played Red Dead Redemption 2’s campaign for the first time and admittedly cried when Arthur reflected on his past decisions and encounters before he fought Micah. The game made me more interested in the history of the Old West. Through this interest and now playing Red dead online more than I did before the campaign, I sought historically accurate outfits. And through an interest in the Old west, I am also getting into firearms and just recently fired my grandfather’s Glock, but I digress. Wanting historically accurate Red Dead outfits, I found this channel. This was all a couple months ago, but a have come back to this channel to revisit the outfit guides, and found myself other videos like this. Watching these videos made me rethink my purpose in life and what I should do. The masculinity of the outdoors is the most appealing think to me. Being with myself, God and his creation, away from civilization, feels like a smaller heaven. Thank you Man V History.

    Growing a beard and getting tattoos does not a man make.
    Society is negatively trying to redefine what it has meant for thousands of years.

    • @ManvsHistory
      @ManvsHistory  Год назад +1

      There's a book I read years ago, I think it was called 'The Appearance of Power', which touches on this. In effect, men look to other men in the past, and try and emulate (in clothing, hairstyle, tattoos, or other ornamentation) the appearance of those deemed manly. The problem is that modern men mistake the appearance (and not the skills, virtues, lifestyle, or deeds) as the source of their manliness. Consequently, modern men often try and project the appearance of power/ manliness, without the underlying foundations of it that were present in the very men that they're copying. In effect, they're ornamented shells of real mean.
      Perhaps this is worthy of its own video? I'll have to think on that. But I hope that explanation made sense, Hemisbeers!

      ​@@ManvsHistory could not agree more. My wife will often comment, 'what happened to all the men?'
      This façade is popular in the age of social media in general.
      My daughter recently flew to Miami to take part in an 'event' focused around her best friend's wedding. It sounds like the modern replacement of a bachelorette party.
      The bride and 4 of her close friends all flew down together, and met up with this event planner at a club. They were told what to wear, and to sit in their assigned seat & wait for instructions. A crowd of women showed up, looking like celebrities, and everyone methodically took staged pictures with each other, pretending to be having fun. Also had a fake hunky bartender with a prop bottle of expensive alcohol show up, pretending to serve it for the cameras. All these women posted the pictures on various platforms as if it were a huge event. Then the planner and the fake guests left.
      That's what counts as a real memory now. :P
      The subject would make a great episode, I think.

    Even though you may think its funny, everything's for a reason-safety of our loved one. I was babysitting my cousins young daughter and went to a playground. Next thing I knew she was on a swing, yelling and crying. When I rushed there, she had a splinter from the inside her leg near her crotch, going to close to her knee, She was of course panicking. I couldn't lift her out because of the splinter being so long intended in her leg. I panicked. Didn't know what to do. Couldn't get her away from the danger she was in and wouldn't let go of me so I was stuck. I couldn't move. Then her sister came by and started yelling and crying-thank goodness this caught the attention of some people who called 911. I still dont know what I could or would do if people weren't around. It still bothers me today because I was totally helpless.

    • @ManvsHistory
      @ManvsHistory  Год назад +1

      I regret your experience with your cousin's daughter, however we can’t fully mitigate risk- and when we attempt to, even that can cause unintentional harm. Modern playground safety efforts (such as rubberized surfaces) have actually led to an increase in broken bones and have no proven effect on reducing the rare deaths of children at playgrounds (around 1-in-30 million). But this pattern extends well beyond playground equipment... Studies have found that antilock braking systems have led to people driving faster, tailgating closer, and braking later. They’ve also failed to reduce accident rates. Likewise, research has shown that helmets simply motivate skiers to fly down the mountain faster and more recklessly than those who don’t wear them. And while they might help prevent minor head injuries, helmet usage hasn’t reduced the fatality rate of skiers or snowboarders at all. In martial arts such as Karate, hand and head protection has been introduced in an effort to reduce injuries- yet studies have found that while they diminish superficial contusions, “protective padding can lead to an increase in the frequency and force of contact.” Heck, you can lock yourself up in your house all day in order to avoid the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, but studies show that a lack of sun exposure carries the same risk factor for death as smoking. Simply put- risk is everywhere, and it’s just part of life. Injuries are frustrating, and sometimes even traumatic (I've had my share), but I'm of the opinion that the path forward is to do what our ancestors did- and embrace it. 'Safer' isn't always 'better'. But you do you, my friend. Everyone's risk tolerance and circumstances are different.
