Mine grew up this way to. Used a hoof pick to chip salt from the block. Made forts out in the sagebrush. Created their own rodeo's with a pallet "chute" and "rode" the leppy calf. Watched calves be born and saw them when they died. It was look for your own entertainment out here. The meme that used to be on FB (maybe it still is, I am not on it anymore) was the one that said "Kids need more tackleboxes and less Xbox's) while I completely agree, how are kids in the city or suburbs supposed to learn responsibility with no chores, learn life and death without animals, learn work if something is already built or done?

Honestly, out of all of the stories you've covered on Amish and even the Appalachian families, this family seems the most well-adjusted and loved. A good balance of traditional values & hard work, with modern sensibilities and love for their children and one another. A family that *values* each member without guilting you, or being too judgemental of the outside world.

Also he realizes that he really does have more conveniences and help in 2023 than his grandparents great-grandparents did. They couldn't just go down to the grocery store and in purchase all of the items that you can in our today's world. Also couldn't eat a pizza on the way home. He seems to have found the balance between modern and old-time values. Being 79 I was raised on a farm and we had an outhouse for quite a while. And we didn't have all of the grocery stores where we could get just anything we wanted. I have said all my life that being raised on the farm was the most valuable thing that I did in my life because it taught me how to handle rough times as well as good times. I really do like the way that they have found a wonderful balance between maintaining core values from yester-years while using the benefits of living in our today's society.

@@lauradavimes9947He was not judging, he was stating fact. We are 11th generation Mainahs, we have seen our state overrun by folks moving here for the rural farm, lakes, mountains and coastal fishing communities which has driven the prices of real estate through the roof making it nearly unattainable for native folks to purchase real estate here. And the BIGGEST problem we have here in Maine other than the high real estate prices is the fact that people move here to get away from overbearing city and state regulations and over population in their communities, yet instead of leaving that “city” mindset in the communities they left, they bring it with them. Then they get elected to town boards and the state house and institute the same oppressive regulations they fled from. We don’t fault people who want to move here, Maine is beautiful and one of the safest places to raise children, but please leave your politics and oppressive regulations at the state border. We welcome folks here, but please leave us alone, don’t turn our beautiful state into the place you fled from…that’s all we ask…and that’s all he was saying about his community in Idaho.

As someone from Idaho, I expected this to be a video about running from society. But I am pleasantly surprised that these folks seem to have a friendly, charitable view of their neighbors that is unfortunately becoming rare in these rural areas. I think what he said about the commoditization of peace and quiet is spot on- people buy rural homes and move there to get away from the "hustle and bustle" of the city, but completely miss the fact that friendship and community are what made rural life great to begin with. Though IMO friendship and community are what make life great no matter where you live, urban or rural.

Seeing these kids it almost makes me cry. I work as a personal assistent in a school in a big city. Many of these kids are sitting behind screens all day long. I just see these kids full of love, joy and passion. What i see on my dayjob is kids at times being robbed of their playfullness and fantasy because everything in life they want is feeded to them. Also they lack responsability. I think the last might be the most important for a healthy child.

I finally had to leave because I was one of those workers who couldn’t make enough to afford to make it my home. It was devastating to feel pushed from there by the folks moving over from Jackson hole, driving the rental prices up to unsustainable levels. I had a degree and permanent state job in my field and still couldn’t make ends meet. It was incredibly difficult to accept and have to leave. So glad his family is living their purpose and raising those amazing kids. God bless!

In the LDS Church, the first commandment the Lord gave Adam/mankind is to multiply and replenish the earth. There's also a verse in the LDS scriptures that says if parents don't raise their kids in righteousness then the sins of those kids will be on the heads of the parents. Also sprinkle in the belief of the eternal family and doing baptisms for the dead etc. The LDS Church summed up in one word would be "family"

We used to take off and go camping for days at a time and weren't worried about a thing. We knew how to read a map and change a flat tire or even rig something to hobble our way to get to a place that could replace a hose or spark plugs. Now we can't even wrench on our own vehicles.

Boomers have been one of the most toxic and selfish generations, as they die off never generations finally, possibly have some opportunities. Federal state ngos and corporations like community development organizations putting billions of dollars directly into the pockets of minorities to start business anywhere they like so there is going to be intense change.

He smiled because I took an interest in Pakistan, plus I asked him how to make Chicken Karahi (mentioned in PS's video). For a guy who is all thumbs in the kitchen, it came out really good. 😎

I love these kinds of videos. I was raised in an urban environment, but my grandfather would occasionally whisk me away to the countryside for weekends or during school breaks. Those times were mainly spent in the garden, where he encouraged me to assist with tending to the lawn and crops. Those moments have become my most treasured childhood memories. There's a certain quality of life inherent to rural areas that eludes even the wealthiest urban settings. The family depicted in this video possesses a wealth of a different kind. My aspiration is to bring up my own children in the tranquility of the countryside, surrounded by the embrace of nature and animals. I'm hopeful I'll be able to make that dream a reality.

That's bc there's not enough balance. America didn't make it reasonable to live in one place & work in another. Or even embrace the village aspect of raising a family. America did its citizens a disservice to not adapt work from home until 2020. Even pushing for it to go back to work now. Too many people want to abandon others for their own selfishness.

Love this one, Peter! The term free-range kid is sad. As a child of the 70's, I experienced the freedom to be outside all day in the summer/weekends in a semi-rural midwestern area. We went home for lunch when we got hungry, family dinner at 6 pm. Was this the last generation to experience such freedom? I get that it's probably not realistic in many cities. Great to see there are still people trying to raise kids to be capable independent adults. Living with a purpose is a wonderful value to teach and share. 😊❤

We’re dealing with the same population explosion here in northwest Montana on a MUCH larger scale. We’re the fastest growing community in the country. It’s frustrating for locals who are 5th/6th generation here trying to survive and raise kids. I also fully understand what he was saying about the fabric community being diluted by new people moving in that have no idea what it’s like to be apart of the community. It’s frustrating and frankly it’s sad. Property that my family farmed and logged have become very high end neighborhoods. What they don’t realize is they all move here and drive the population through the roof. The other big issue is they move here because where they have come from was terrible, but then start to change things here and move the ball towards where they came from.

I honestly think it comes down to the parents' *intentions*. You don't see children being raised with actual intention and purpose. Too many just throw their hands up and don't even try to connect with their kids, let alone serve them with love. They serve them with tradition and a "because I said so' attitude that really angers & hampers a person's self-worth.

My grandfather used to go there after school and get a pickle hehe. Must have been the early 30's? I drove a potato truck a couple of seasons out of Mud Lake and Rexberg. Great memories! I met Chris LaDoux at the Stinker in Mountian Home (Name Dropping!) He was my partners friend. He gave me a cassette of his (then) new album... yes, cassette! hahaha. Idaho is the best place to raise Family. Still have an Uncle that's been in Montpelier since the early 80's. Stuck in L.A. for a couple years more then I'm moving to Tornado Alley. Or maybe Idaho!

Eatin' pizza, riding horses, licking salt blocks. This is what I like to see when it comes to modern and old school blending perfectly in a lifestyle. I believe people should be more active, and honestly these guys are doing it right. Doesn't matter your religion, race, sexual orientation. All that matters is being a good person. Finding happiness with the things you do should be your first priority, and living a life like this makes it feel more worthwhile. I'd love to personally have horses, work my own, have some land. Some people are just too poor to make it a reality. One day I'll have a horse and me and that beast will do everything together. Trust and respect.

This seems to be a trend all over the west. In 1973 a few of us drove from Utah to Alberta and it was mostly open space. In fact, no one was at the border station as it was a Sunday morning. We took pictures next to the large stone marker and proceeded to Raymond (my friend's hometown,) Lethbridge, and on to Calgary. Nowadays you need a passport, etc. just to get across! All over Alberta, Montana, Idaho, and Utah the rural live is being supplanted by wealthy newcomers looking for a slower pace. Let's hope they respect the lifestyle as well.

I grew up in downtown Los Angeles in a neighborhood where we had this kind of community. All the neighbors knew each other and the kids. The adults looked out for the kids. If one of my brothers was doing something that they weren't suppose to be doing, my mom would get a call. People shared their crops from their trees with each other. I now live in another major city & we have the same community in my neighborhood. We all know each other and looked out for one another. Be it the seniors that walk around the block, kids that ride their bikes or the dogs that get out of the yards to wonder. People can have this life in a big city, too. We just need to reach out to each other & be a community.
