First time hearing Hank Williams Jr- "A Country Boy Can Survive" *REACTION* 

They really put the work in work you can’t stop them if they get it in their head to do something they will do it I’ve seen it too many times

Love to hear this

Semper Fi Devil Dog

@Scott Crawford I’m from Putnam county. Used to run Mason and Gallia county all the time. Aunt and uncle lives in Leon

My platoon was so diverse. White, black Hispanic, asian, and a Samoan. The finest group of people it was this rednecks pleasure of meeting. Till Valhalla my brothers

YES!

Why doesn't this comment have more likes and comments?!

amen brother. We're ALL in this together

I grew up in the foothills of the Smokies so I consider myself Appalachian as all my people come from way deeper. Most of this is ingrained in you before you're 10. Hunt, fish, weed mamaw's big garden so we get awesome vegetable soup and cornbread. Green bean snapping parties. Soup beans with ham hocks and onion. Smoked sock sausage that was walking around last year. "You boys can eat breakfast if you go get the eggs"

It ain't got nothing to do with color! It's a Southern thing!@😂😂😂 The man doesn't want this to catch on! They can't control a man that don't need the MAN!! 😂😂😂 It's not a race thing!!😂😂😂

@@paladin3087 You’re damn right about that.

I’m 62 , West coast my whole life . We all want and need the same things at the end of the day . Your talking straight truth right there .

@@ericskivers6643 ate lunch with a friend from high school that lives in California now. He loves it, but he lives in Northern California ! I've traveled far more than most folks in this area. Been into Mexico, Alaska, the Grand Canyon, outer banks, the keys, but this is home. I live between a federal wild life and state reserve! Taxes are cheap, my neighbors are family, it's great to sit on the porch and listen to the wipperwills at night!

Agree!!!

Hank Jr is an icon one of only 2 left. His music is a mix of his dad's music and his own. He still uses a lot of strings like his dad done but adds his own voice and style . He quite often will sing his dad's songs or also sing about his dad. So in one way or another he keeps his dad's music alive. But make no mistake he blends his style and his dad's style and does it well. He also sang in family tradition that although his kind of music and his father's ain't quite the same. So he pleases his father's fans and picked up his own fans too..plays just enough of his dad's music . Just enough of his dad's strings style. And sing just enough of his dad's music . And speaks just enough about his dad in song. But does not over due it. It is a hard balance but he does it. So he pleases his own fans and his father's fans. He has so many great songs. But my favorite is Diamond Mine .or Man to Man. Or another day Old habits are hard to break. .. or stone at the juke box. The only 2 icons left in country music are Hank Jr and gene Watson

Agree. I'm female and started hunting and fishing by the age of seven. I gardened all my life because my parents did. In addition, I have ridden many a mile of fencing looking for downed poles. I'm now 63 years old. My husband's family owns 5,000 acres along the Tenn-Tom waterway. My boys have already picked out their house plots. They were raised to live off the land. One is an engineer, the other an attorney but they can live off this land if it all goes to hell.

Am a country guy

Same here! Wilderness of Idaho! God's country huh!

Same here girl!

I'm a city boy in okc. I'm screwed 😂😢

Born and bred a southern man. 95% of my. Meat hunted food and my corn 🍺 and wine buck home made

Same here, 14 I worked for a farmer, my weekends I had free I was hunting, fishing, camping, never cared about being in a city even if it was small

He didn’t understand the song.

1982: people were still feeling the aftermath of the Carter administration, and the govt is just making his mistakes all over again.

Life is cyclical.

❤️

This song is almost as old as me and it's still relevant to what's going on today.

@@claytonhess5512 "mistakes" it's deliberate but we get a nuclear war this time

Facts

I have a Hank Williams concert ticket May 6 1952

This is also why he grew a beard.. to cover the scars

He sure did, talk about being lucky to be alive

I’m glad someone brought this up! Not many people that don’t listen or know him know that story. Hank is a badass

I read about Hank Jr in a gun magazine years ago. I guess he’s a hand loader and collector of vintage Colt Single Action Army revolvers.

@@ordinaryman1904 For what it's worth. I saw an article once about maybe 25 years ago where he recommended a powder load for .45 Colt. At the time I was having trouble coming up with a load that was halfway accurate and not dirty. I tried what he recommended and it was clean and accurate. Not a lot of velocity as I recall but it was intended for a target load, not a hunting load.

Yes. Sadly.

Yeah it does. Makes me want to quit my job and just go deep in the woods and be left alone was raised on a farm. Couldn’t wait to get off it joined navy on the first day I could join with my dad’s signature.. then went straight to the gulf in 79 wanted back on The farm two days after I was enlisted

no he's not. he's racist and his music should be boycotted. calling Obama a Muslim and comparing him to Hitler, how is that acceptable?

Been in KY my whole life. Lived in lex during and after school. Hated it moved home where it’s quiet.

Howdy neighbor . 👋🏼🤠

I hope you didn't move to Louisville or Lexington. I'm near Mammoth Cave.

Use to spend time on my Grand parents farm...White mills Ky.

@@jimmy-et1pm White mills just outside of Etown. I'm maybe 15 minutes from there.

Wouldn't be a Texas if it wasnt for TENNESSEE 🧡🧡🧡👍,love Tennessee, thank GOD it's my home state

​@@markbarnes578West Tennessee River Rat here! Tennessee is the first T.

100% - people from a wide variety of backgrounds are buying land, learning how to garden/harvest/preserve food, growing their own meat (chickens, pigs, cattle), making their own dairy products (milk, cream/half/half, sour cream, butter, yogurt, etc.) - they are eating FAR better quality and nutrition than the average person every day, plus developing a wide range of skills.

The Amish are laughing,..saying: "I told you...!" 😅

Never too late to start. Home made wine is easy. Plant a garden. Learn to can. Hunting is relaxing, don't even need to get a deer. Just sitting alone in the Woods will relax you more than a planned out guided vacation. It won't take you long to learn how to fish either. Don't wish, do!

It's Ahmen

God bless Texas

Grew up on 300 Acres in West Tennessee on the Hatchie River. Moonshine Central. Was walking in the woods at 11 with a Colt 22mag Peacemaker and a 20 Guage Featherlite or a 22 Mag Marlin Lever Action Rifle depending on what I was hunting. We had three Entrance doors each had a Rifle and Shotgun behind the door. We had a huge garden and we canned everything. I am 63 and I wouldn't want to survive in the woods but I can. We learned a different kind of education. I could hit a target at over 200 yards with Iron Sights. A moving target called Coyote, We had a Catfish pound and a 5 Acres Spring Fed Lake. And River Property.

I lived in Tx and Ok. I understand you. We had 5k farm and ran cattle, hogs and the sort. Shtf I will hunt, fish and live off the land.

the problem is Hank Williams Jr is not a country boy. He was born and raised in the city with a sliver spoon in his mouth. I can guarantee Hank Williams Jr has never skinned a buck or ran a trout line. He is wearing a pair of Gucci sunglasses that cost hundreds of dollars. No country boy would wear Gucci sunglasses

@@marknielson2409 if you think Hank Williams Jr isn’t real country you must be out of your mind.

@@johnnyappleseed5590 Hank is real country but he is not a real country boy. He is playing an act. In his song he says he lives in the woods with his wife, children and dog. I can guarantee Hank never lived in the woods. Hank Williams Jr is real country because all the people you mentioned in your first post made sure he was real country because of who his dad was. Hank Williams Sr was the Elvis of country music. Don't get me wrong I love Hank Williams Jr. but I think if you want to see the real Hank Williams Jr you listen to his song family traditions or all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight. these songs much more represent Hank Williams Jr real personality

@@marknielson2409 First off it's trotline, not trout line. Second, he wears his sunglasses because of the scars it left on his face when he fell off that mountain. I'm a country boy and I have expensive sunglasses. They aren't Gucci, but It's my money that I earned through hard work.

@@marknielson2409 open mouth, insert foot

Song is 43 r old ! Still says what an American can do!!!

@@cherylcrichfield4719 unfortunately the key word is "can" do, not "will" do. 😞

Nah man, we won't.

@@docbradleydc I pray we don't, but I would rather be prepared for the worst. Just by looking at all the things going on throughout the country and the rest of the world, the future isn't looking very bright.

And then follow that with "Family Tradition" and "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down"

HELL YEAH@

His daddy did it first.

That's Hank seniors song.

Really really ridiculous and ludicrous things being accepted! Wtf is wrong with ppl? Glad I won't be around when all these kids grow up and start running for office!

@@IdahoRanchGirl I have no idea. It's like all these groups and academic professors and universities build up these concepts layer by layer, and each layer isn't too much worse. But when you pan out, you see the big picture is that they've built a boar hog with tits. It's patently and obviously false, but the lemmings have swallowed each incremental step, invested in it, and defended it. This is how a society can end up doing great evil while the people doing the evil see it totally differently.

@@IdahoRanchGirl unfortunately, they are already in office.

He said "we can skin a buck, we can run a trotline". A trotline is a single line with a lot of lines with hooks hanging in the water. Listen to Hank Jr. sing "Country State of Mind" that song turned me to country music!

FAMILY TRADITION!

He says, "My Grandpa taught me how to live off the land, and his taught him, to be a business man.". He never refers to anyone's, Daddy.

@@shawnj1966 - That might be, but it doesn't change the line that the reaction channels misinterpret or the point I was making. It's his FRIEND that was taught to be a business man... Not his grandpa.I'll edit the comment if the word offends you. ;-)

Brother I'm from NY and since I joined the Army, I've served with majority southerners. I'll never move back up north. When I take the uniform off, it will be in the SOUTH. This song has always been one of my favorites.

I agree...I rocking but succumb to my country roots when the Rev. BOCEPHUS PREACHES

Same! 😊✌️
