I Got Lost In Louisiana For A Week. This Is What I Saw.
Рет қаралды 399,421
11 ай бұрынOh my gosh! You never know what you'll see when you get back into the Louisiana backroads.
If you’ve ever been to Louisiana, you probably went to New Orleans, got drunk, got back on your plane and left. If you did that, you missed out on a whole lotta stuff.
When I first got to Louisiana, of course I did that New Orleans thing. But only for a couple days. Then, I took off and headed up through cajun country, into the woods, over the river, past all the farmland and Shreveport and into Arkansas. The whole trip took 5 days.
And boy did I see a lot. And they sure were nice days for Louisiana backroadin. Partly cloudy and 75 degrees in the springtime.

A 6 piece crawfish had me dying 🤣🤣. One thing I’ll add, you said, they put more emphasis on hunting and fishing than education… education is a broad term. You need to be taught the things it takes to thrive in your environment, we might not do so well in a big city, but on the water we survive on things that some pay $35 a plate to eat in a fancy restaurant.

It really bothers me that Nick said people in Louisiana pay more attention to hunting fishing and not on education. Shame on you Nick. Hunting and fishing is in our blood. Education is extremely important to us. As far low income families and drug abuse another shame on you. Tell me something where do you live. I guess no poor families (your words not mine) in your city, no drug abuse and heaven forbid no prisons. It’s a sad day when a grown man makes money on U-Tube put down Louisiana

On my first trip to Louisiana, my dad and I drove south from NW Arkansas to Shreveport, then kept going to the Gulf and stopped at a few wildlife sanctuaries, plantations, state parks for swamp kayaking, and random sea food joints along the road. Dad got nervous in places where there's a road but mostly water around you, but I love those areas. We camped on the most mosquito-infected coast we've stayed at (Grand Isle?). But it was fun. Thankful it was March. On the way back north we stayed on the east side and cut through Arkansas through Monticello and Pinebluff. Outside of Monticello had the BEST fried chicken at an unbranded gas station, lol.

I love hearing about how people live. What industry is prospering and the pollution issues. I have used these videos to ask hood questions in my plan to sell my FL home to buy in in NC .

Luoisiana looks good bro. At least there's nobody sleeping rough. And the locals know where their culture is supposed to be.

Nick I keep telling folks to watch your videos so they can see how other cities are. Like what's happening in California and Washington. Georgia and other places. South Omaha is changing Nick. It's scaring the hell outta many of us. My gosh, what is happening to our country? 😢 Ask Mappy what in the sam hell is going on around here!?!?

Actually, we have a lot of people hunt and fish in North Carolina, at least where i live. They hunt the deer and rabbits. And I think I'll pass on the crawfish. I went to Louisiana 20 years ago to visit my brother while he was stationed at Ft. Polk befor he went to Iraq and watched him eat a whole big plate of crawfish. I have a picture of it too. It was a nice trip though.

They wouldn't put frog in a meat pie. You get a lot more meat off a cow then a frog 🙄
@lilykep 2 ай бұрын
Frog legs are too damn expensive to put in a meat pie. Meat pies use beef. Frog legs are fried. Plus the meat is totally different. You'd very much be able to tell.
