I read a quote years ago that goes, "A man, like metal, once he loses his temper loses his worth." I try to remember that quote when I get mad. Great videos!!!!

You may or may not see my comment, but Cody I wanted to say I appreciate the effort you put into your videos especially the honesty of the message at the end. keep fighting the good fight and don't let the negative comments discourage you from continuing to sharing your life and faith.

Thanks for the word. It is nice to hear these things.

You and your family are a inspiration to all young adults out here. thank you for you and your wifes wisdom. blessings from Norway

Its hard to keep the anger inside. It takes a man to admit he still haves it. And a real man to handle it properly. Bravo Mr. W, those are the times it really tests us.

Lol "You know there are attachments for the tractor if you want to dig holes, right?" :D Thanks Cody for your honesty and for taking time at the end to share of the struggle and how God spoke to your heart in the midst of it. I don't think there are many men alive who don't at least feel like getting frustrated in the middle of challenges like that, and we all need to reminder to be still and trust God for the strength we need to not only get through the situation, but to do it in a loving way to those who are helping us. I've been there many a time myself and truly appreciate this reminder. :) God bless!

Thank you Cody. I struggle with impatience as a father. You have created a fine channel that every man should watch. Please don't be discouraged by the naysayers. They are not worth your time. Good job Buddy. I'm impressed.

Thank you for the words. Yesterday I found myself in a similar situation and I didn't treat my wife and kids with the respect and patience they deserve. After hearing your testimony, I immediately apologize to them for the way I acted. I'm grateful for you, your family, and your relationship with God. You at least had a positive impact on one life today. May God continue to bless you and yours.

Quality like usual. I love seeing the family work together, and thanks for your honesty Cody

u have described me to a tea Cody. I am so goal oriented that I alienate my family from wanting to help with future jobs. It's time to smell the roses and and listen to God's word.

Hey Cody, you should have left those CHAINS on the tractor! Also, the loader bucket will often help you get unstuck!

You really spoke to me in this video, Cody. I really struggle with that same issue more often than I'd like to admit. Thank you for the advice on how to deal with it more gracefully. Don't let the negative comments shake you, just pray for them and keep on doing what you do. You're an inspiration to me and to many others. God bless you and your family.

Cody, thank you so much for bringing god back into your videos. your explanation of the lesson learned is spot on also shows how a person can lead a crew and dealing with bumps and not having your crew hate working for you

The closing statements were used for good in my heart, thank you for sharing.

No matter what others might say, I am thankful for those words at the end. That was just what I needed to hear, I have been asking God to help me with patience lately and I have seen him speak to me through a few KZfaq videos today.

So glad I watched through the stuck tractor to get to the commentary. The commentary was the best part of the video and certainly something I needed to hear. I have a lot of respect for the family relationships and leadership you show in your video and really appreciate your commentary on yourself at the end. God bless you.

I'm not religious, but I can still appreciate what Cody is saying. The negativity in the comments really says a lot about some of you.

Boy, he sure is picking up the lessons you've given him. Fun to watch him grow in strength and in knowledge.

Cody, well said about the "be still." It resonated with me. I having a tough stressful weekend as big deadline at work and have had to work every day straight for the past three weeks. I was taking a break and my wife asked me to come outside with the family. I really didn't want to and was grouchy. In fact, had to pause this video to do so. Rather than be grumpy, I gave into the situation and had a beautiful 10 minutes with the family that honestly I won't ever forget. It was a beautiful moment. Be still makes a lot of sense to me right now. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for all that you and your family do to make other's lives better.

thanks for the honesty, i have to work on this as well

So appreciate your honesty. I know your struggle. It's so often the ones we love most we treat the most deplorably.

Very cool working in the woods with hand tools, power tools and equipment. Also, I appreciate your self reflection and candor. I, like so many men, have struggled with inappropriate expressions of anger/frustration. You are wise in seeking God for help and clarity. You, and your family, have my respect and admiration. God bless you all.

I didn't see any wenches pull out the tractor (as described) but that winch sure got the job done! Great Video and lesson.

I love these videos where you allow yourself to be vulnerable and share how your faith gets you through. This has helped me and my family. Thanks. Darrel

Cody, thanks for your closing words. I get easily frustrated when I'm tired or things don't go as planned and get grumpy. My wife is a real gem as is Mrs. W. She is a tough cookie and will work with me on any project. She isn't afraid to get dirty, but also washes up real nice to go out on the town. To top things off she has M.S. We've been together for 56 years, she is my hero. PTL, for bringing us together. I see so many things in your family that reflect our life. I always pray for the wisdom to restore calm in my spirt. what you had to say today will help me Thanks again.

Your end-words choked me up. I'm guilty of this. Constantly tested by my family and pushed to my breaking point. Thank you so much for your constant reminders. I almost feel like you're talking directly to me in your end-words, and they come at the most appropriate times in my life. -Adam

I confess I have been failing at this same thing with my family day after day. Again & again I have taken my frustrations out on them when my pace is too slow. you have shown how to deal with this better than I ever have. Thank you for being a light for me today.

Thank you for the excellent message and reminders Cody. The fact that a negative comment on it has risen to the top hurts my heart, but I pray for those people and hope that maybe someday one of them will hear the word of God through your videos. Keep doing what you are doing, don't let the negativity discourage you from sharing your experiences and how the word of God speaks to you through the joys and struggles of your life. Someday you are going to share something that might just change someone's outlook and help them to open their heart to the love of Christ.

Thank you for the honesty and the reminder at the end

EXCELLENT Commentary, Thank YOU WranglerStar's

the amount of work that goes into one of these videos is beyond what most people would believe. Thank you, Cody !

That's quite a powerful message. I guess it's not easy showing our failures and letting pride get in the way. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it out to Seven Springs last year to meet you but perhaps one day... I want you to know how much this channel has affected me in such a positive and introspective way. Keep up the great work, loving the forestry content!

Hey Wranglerstar family, just wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you are and how much my family loves your videos. Ignore the folks who keep putting you down for sharing your beliefs and please keeping making these great videos. You said it best, they just can't stand hearing the truth!!!

I especially appreciated your comments at the end of this great video. Also got a kick out of Jack's offcamera comments during the 'filming'- he is already wise beyond his years and able to participate in the work being done. Mrs Ws is, as always, a beautiful and competent partner.

Great end card, these words are so valid as we try to get more and more done every day. As leaders and teachers of our family we must take a step back and do what is right. Good job.

Cody! Man the end card killed me. I have felt with the same issue this weekend and sadly I did not handle it with patience. This is just what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing how God works in your life. It is always encouraging to see how you and your family deal with struggles when they come along.

Cody, i have been watching your videos for a while now and when you first started doing your rants I would usually skip them even though I'm a Christian as well. I just didn't want to hear the negativity, but I absolutely loved your reflection at the end of this video. It was like a quick devotional. Loved it!! Keep up the amazing work you and your family are doing and know that there are way more people on here that love this kind of content than the ones who dont!

That is the HAPPIEST I’ve EVER heard someone say Look at this Radiator. He’s so happy. Haha.

Cody, I'm always impressed with your ability to self assess and bring it back to the Lord and use it to teach others.. I needed to hear/see this.

Wranglerstars, I appreciate your honesty in these vlogs. thank you...

You probably know this, but if you have the bucket on the loader next time, you can use it to walk the tractor out backwards by rotating it fully down, shove it into the ground, then rotate up to shove the tractor back a few feet at a time. Of course no bucket this time around so kudos on doing a great job working together to get it out! Also, I always enjoy the small bits of testimony you add at the end of many of your videos. Sometimes it's encouraging, other time sobering and/or convicting. No doubt you fail in many ways like the rest of us, but you are certainly an encouragement to your brothers in Christ who seek to lead our own families as God intends and calls us to do. Keep it up, Cody!

Those are honest words, thanks for sharing the good and the bad. Excellent VIDEO.

Keep sharing your heart Cody, I love your little devotionals

I always appreciate your honesty. Your authenticity is what draws me to your videos.

Cody, thank you for your words in the ending commentary. I too struggle daily with my impatience with my family. I continually pray to God for His forgiveness and guidance to be a better husband and father. Thank you once again as this really touched me.

Every video is a blessing, thank you for wisdom and perspective. Always humbling.

Thanks for your words of wisdom. Bless your family

I struggle with no patience every day. Anger comes over to fast. Thank you Cody!

Did you try to use the loader bucket to push you out. Just curl the bucket forward when backing up. This should get you unstuck.

Thanks for your thoughts at the end! They were very helpful and uplifting!

You keep doing you Mr Cody. Even a heathen can appreciate the message of peace

Cody I went through a similar situation this past weekend where I lashed out at my wife and my parents for a mistake I had made. Thanks for ending the video the way you did. I needed it. After doing what I did this weekend I said the serenity prayer and promptly apologized for what I had done. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things i can, and wisdom to know the difference."

Loved the message at the end!!!

Wow that last bit really struck home for me. Thank You for sharing!

Cody your a dang good man!!! You and your family work super hard on your Homestead to make the property and cultivate the land the way you guys want it to look. Thank You for all the time you take to share about GOD and what you have learned in the Bible.

Love your closing thoughts... please know that you are not alone in your feelings.

Thank you for the righteous words. It truly helped me be a better Dad this week!

She tore you up ! Who drove it down there in the first place.I wrote this right after you got it out and before your explanation. You are a class act!

Well done and well said Cody! I've been there many times myself! It can take a lot to recognize and resist losing your patience when you're up against a stressful situation, whether actual or perceived. It's especially important when working with family; they are undoubtedly doing the same for you and each other. Having worked with machinery, tools, equipment, cars/trucks and mechanical items my whole life...I know what it's like to be completely in synch with a complex machine and its full operation, to know its limits and potential dangers, to anticipate and/or react in a split second to recover, maintain, and progress safely if things begin to go sideways. When you see yourself simultaneously running every position that the team is working, it's easy to become frustrated when someone reacts differently than you would have. Self expectations and personal goals can play havoc with one's patience. You are 100% correct; at the end of the day it does not really matter how much you've accomplished together, if nobody wants to help tomorrow.

Well said Cody. Patience with the Family can sometimes be a challenge. I'll try to keep this close for those situations.

The last two minutes made the video, all too often we do the things Cody mentions. It's not always about production, especially at the expense of family and friends.

Cody in your comment at the end of the video, it really hit home for me. For what you said I saw myself too. I've always loved your video's and watch as your young family gets through life. My children have all grown up and moved out into their own lives. I wish I could've have been as introspective as you are.

Fits right in with the Slough of Despair video, which taught me patience. Good job, especially the ending. Unfortunately, I sometimes tend to respond the same way with my family but I press forward to the mark.

Cody, thank you for your humble words at the end. I too have struggled with frustration and anger.

Thank you Cody, for the thoughts. The insight. I have this problem... quick to temper and impatience. It is time to learn to pause and reflect on my own faults and issues, rather than placing blame and judgement on those I love. Time to stop hurting them... and myself! We will all be so much happier for it! Thank you, peace be with you and yours.

Your speaking at the end was the best part of the whole video Cody!!!

Wranglerstar has become like a drug: Need it everyday ^^

Awwww!! HeartRacer is so cute and precious!!!! I absolutely adore her!!💟💗💝

In these trying times your advice points to a way that we should all aspire to. Keep walking the path Cody.

Great video and great message. Thank you!

I love how you choose to don't edit out the part where you were getting losing your patience. It goes to demonstrate that you are just as human as we are. I know what it feels to be there, and at the end of every day even when things don't go our way we have to just relax, don't try to blame the people around us for the things that didn't work out, enjoy, laugh at it and make the best of it. Good luck.

Your comments/conversations at the end are almost the best part of your videos. God bless :-)

Thank you for the last bit. Helped me out.

Love it. The end comments are a blessing...encouraging to my soul. Thank you.

Cody Thanks for the tips and your message. I learned from both.

I love these lessons at the end. God Bless you and your family. By the grace of God, you are a good man.

s Some excellent lessons for everyone who has never been seriously stuck! You are right the need to get another load is really unimportant! Both Mrs Wrangerstar and Jack learned the amazing " stuck" lessons which last a lifetime!!

Hi Cody, I could tell you were frustrated and struggling to remain calm. My friend, I have been there too. It is usually a situation where you are mad at yourself (say for getting the tractor stuck) and you just feel this urge to lash out, be rude, short or nasty with anyone nearby. At that moment, all you can do is step back, take a deep breath, and calm yourself. I don't know what footage was left on the cutting room floor, but in the footage you used, you were human...fallible...but you kept it together. You mentioned in your video where Jack was building the timber frame for the water tap that it is hard when you are working with others who don't have your skill level (in whatever skill). Things take longer. However, in those situations, it is an opportunity to show others what to do (like teaching Mrs W how to maneuver in mud). The next time, they will be a more experienced helper. And one day, perhaps you will find they are better at it that you. All the best. I hope to see you in Vermont.

I love your ending of your videos! They have so many valuable life lessons, even though I am only 20 and in college I still find them useful.

Thank you Cody for the kind words that you say we all should listen God bless you and your family my friend

Thanks for your encouragement to be in the Word... AND to be patient.

Great video ive spent many days getting tractors unstuck, how we struggle with patience, your message was right on, we as men must learn to control our tempers. God bless !

what a great message. I fail at this many times. Hearing it in you humble words makes it so real.

Thank you for sharing your heart at the end of the videos. It's amazing how often it's exactly what I needed to hear.

I applaud your desire to take a walk when your blood begins to boil. This is something I constantly have to work on as well.

Awesome Video, you DID show humility and true character.

Your honesty in the content of your videos is most refreshing. As a father that deals with the same desires to see productivity in the days work, and tries to teach good work ethic to my four sons, I fail along the way at showing the love that they need even more. Thank you for taking time to share the best of ethics. The family will be a better team for it! I watch your videos for the working content, but even more for the character that you express. You are a good example of Christian values.

Excellent message at the end, very honest and enlightening.

Very good message in this video. Thank you.

Excellent perspective at the end. I own my own small business and my 17 yr old son helps out. As you were narrating, I couldn't help but think of the MANY times I was short with him on the job site. I WAS that guy who was the "angry tyrant". If I recorded my day, I know I would be ashamed many times. Thanks for the transparency in your life, and using this video to allow me to see MY wrongdoing. Keep up the great work!!

Good words of wisdom at the end. Thanks for sharing.

Good comments at the end of the video. May be something i need to do when i get frustrated with my family doing home projects.

Really enjoyed your closing comments. Thank you.

Hey Cody, helpful tip is that with a single pulley your just simply redirecting the force, to double as you mentioned, you'd have needed 2 pulleys. Not condescending, or anything of that nature, but just trying to help you out in the future. I'm sure your already aware of this and just mis-spoke, but none the less just passing on some info to help out later! Keep it up, can't wait to see the big things I'm sure you've got planned for the summer!

Spot on Cody on the commentary. Advice is helpful at times and it is wise to consider it. But often much of it is not helpful. You listen because every now and then a golden nugget comes along that just shines on your situation. The golden nugget advice you gave goes for your working crew as well as for family. The best crews are the ones who are not afraid to communicate with each other while disciplining themselves to focus on making what they say helpful instead of distracting. Its a fine line sometimes and it is important to remember it is never good to cause your friends and family to lose face. The work will still be there tomorrow but you have to cherish each other every day. When the team clicks "on" "together" the work will get done with amazing results. If folks will listen you often give that "golden nugget" advice at the end of many of your videos. I really enjoy them, so thank you.

Great video, Cody. And a great message too. Thanks for sharing. Steve

I so enjoyed your comments at the end, it very much spoke to me. Thank you.....

I always appreciate your honesty. The way that I attempt to deal with those same types of frustrations is a mantra from Depak Chopra, "this moment is exactly as it is supposed to be." I would like to say that I am successful at recognizing it more often than I actually am.

It is so hard for us males to admit failure that we often tend to take our frustrations out on the people closest to us. God givs us many ways to deal with these trials, but it is our choice as to which one we chose to employ. Maybe it is age that allows us to remember our previous choices and the consequences they carried. Today I choose the calmer path as I have learned that I am not the one in control. There is a power greater than me that I tend to turn to now when things go bad around me. Me getting out of the way allows His power to take over and achieve the better out come. Keep the videos real Cody, many of us appreciate the personal reflection as it validates and instructs us in our lives.
