First Time Hearing Hank Williams Jr. "A Country Boy Can Survive" (Reaction!) 

50 yo white dude in Georgia, here. Don’t mistake the video as a reflection of reality. We have plenty of black country folk, too as our neighbors, coworkers and friends! And thank goodness…because a lot of them can out-fish me! AND having fellow Americans who happen to be black as friends or neighbors means having access to outstanding food, good love and fellowship! 😁 Love and light to you and yours, whoever reads this!

I'm Gen X and I remember when I was a teenager seeing rifles on gun racks in the back windows of trucks. It was so normal that no one gave it a 2nd thought

Country folk are the most compassionate people in the world, but, don't mess with them. They'll f u up, no matter what! Don't matter what race, they don't judge anyone by that, God bless us all! Can't we all just be friends.

Don't forget, Hank Jr. fell 500 feet off Ajax mountain while mountain climbing. Pretty tough dude! I grew up on 440 acres in northwest Arkansas and yes, we can do all those things!

1. FAmily Tradition 2. Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound 3. Mind Your Own Business 4.Dixie On My Mind 5. Born To Boogie 6. Texas Women

I was,a city girl and married a country boy 44 yrs ago, never going back! Great song!

Being a product of the mid-80s, country wasn't my thing. Except for this song. College roommate played me a live version of this and it was/is as bad-ass a song as I'd ever heard. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.

Here's the thing about country folks , we just want to be left alone, not bothered or pushed and if it comes to a fight, we know exactly where to feed the razorbacks and gators

Self-reliance is more important now than it ever has been. A country boy can survive.

Country folks are the ones that you need when all hell breaks lose

You are correct. My husband drives a truck, can hunt and fish, can fix his own vehicle and is an excellent shot…and I found that super attractive 😍 Also, in the very unlikely event that the zombie apocalypse comes, people who put these country guys down will be running out of the cities and begging for their help. 😂😂😂

Hank is the man, and I'm fairly certain that this is a true story! I've been a country girl my entire life and my man can hunt, fish ( I fish with him, and clean all of the fish), he does all of his own car repairs, we grow our own weed too, so we are happy campers! It's hard work being from the country, but it is so worth it, you don't have idiots around you all day, you have wildlife around you and that is so relaxing!

HE FELL OFF OF A MOUNTAIN WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER

Another good one is CHARLIE DANIEL'S BAND, "LONG HAIRED COUNTRY BOY"

Country boy here. Glad to see the spread of real self-reliance. Come to Bama or Georgia. I'll host you, and teach you what I know.

Hank Jr is the man!! Can't believe you haven't heard this yet! One of the best songs EVER!!!!

Family Tradition by Hank Jr

A man who hunts and can catch fish is a man who can provide in tough times, that's why women are attracted to them.

I live in Northern California, I can tell you that I have family up in the mountains that this song is written about. If shit goes down, thats where I'm going! ❤️😬

Part of this intensity may also be due to Williams Jr.’s near-death experience in southwestern Montana in August 1975. While climbing the Ajax Peak on the continental divide, Williams Jr. fell on a rock after the snow beneath him gave way. He suffered several facial and skull fractures from the fall, and he eventually had to relearn how to sing. This event and Williams Jr.’s subsequent recovery empowered the country singer. After the song’s initial success, Williams Jr. released another version of the track titled “America Will Survive” after the tragedy of 9/11.

Yes, that really did happen to his friend. But I don't think that's the footage. Hank writes about his life and what he knows.

Country folks were the poor people and learned all the skills of survival.

We used to have our shot guns, rifles in our 4-wheel drives at school. Never had any problems. Times have changed.

Some people call Country Music... "3 Chords, and the truth."

I worked 36 years building and repairing glass blowing machines and traveled all over the world. I swear the welder in this video was at every plant I ever visited!

I'm a 49 year old mother of 2 children 28 year old boy and 11 year old girl. I hunt trap fish and processing what I take from the land myself. My father had 3 girls I'm the youngest he wanted a son but my grandfather told him "ain't nothing twigs and berries missing from your youngin got to do with teaching her how to survive" my dad has 11 sisters and 1 brother 13 children. I killed my first deer at 6 years old rode dirt bikes fixed cars etc... Point being please don't regret one day when you're old "oh man I should've went hunting. Most of the time it's more about the solitude and beauty in the forest than bagging anything! Best of luck

I live this lifestyle and have a gun for hunting even though I don’t hunt, but if I get hungry enough I will. And if you step in my house without permission and cross that threshold…..fair game…..ride or die😂😂

I was always a head banger, but my uncle turned me on to Hank Williams Jr, when I was about 16. I'm so thankful to him for that. More southern style please

come on down little brother we teach you a lot of things

I enjoy your reactions. You have a very straight forward approach and well-spoken observations about music and the videos you watch.Hank Williams Jr. is the second legend in his family to make a mark in and on country music (his father being the first in the family). It was a real struggle for Hank Jr to find his own voice and to get out from beneath the shadows of his father's music and life. Hank Jr.'s near fatal tragedy help him redefine who he wanted to be seen as. He changed the perspective of how we view him and country music and helped define The Outlaw era of country music. He has definitely made his own mark in and on country music. BTW there is a 3rd Hank Williams. Hank Williams Jr. has a son who also sings, and he is called Hank Williams III...duh!

Yes it’s very accurate. Great reaction

Hank Williams Jr “Dinosaur.” You probably won’t get many suggestions for this one but it is a jewel. LETS GOOO

Yup. We sure can. Love the reaction Shon ☘️🇺🇲

Junior has been a favorite of ours since he first started recording music. Hell yeah, he's an icon! 😉

I do agree that they should teach all kids in school how to grow their own plants for food. Something they will keep forever if they really need it. And fishing I’ve ate that I’ve caught and Deer meat is always shared here along with vegetables.

Country Girls too. I have chickens, ducks, goats, a garden that I preserve all the food from. Love your content!

His dad is the GOAT of country music. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

I'm glad I ran upon your channel and I subbed to it straight off and I saw Hank Jr at The Rupp Arena in Lexington KY and saw him do that song. That was back in the late 80s if my mind is still working from all the good Turkey 100 proof and a few other trinkets to😅 Anyways I really like the way you do your reactions and you genuinely love good music .

Hes telling the GOVERNMENT we got this with or without you WE THE PEOPLE 🇺🇸

I went to a small school and we brought our guns to school so when the bell rang we would go straight to the woods during hunting season

I grew up in Tucson Arizona, deer hunting, elk hunting, fishing..I've carried a gun since I was a teenager..we never locked our front door..neighbors looked out for each other. Now I'm 75...and I'm gonna die an old country boy...period!

Hank jr is my man my favorite country singer hank jr is a legend and very talented man can play many many instruments

Hank Jr. can play about any instrument there is also.

No more welcoming people on earth than Country Folk....!! Also, no more dangerous to disrespect!!

You are so much fun and so enjoyable to watch these with. Thank you for making them.

Rural Missouri here. Come on down and we’ll show you how it’s done. 😊

Omg.. you just said something about a man being able to do all this stuff.. My hubby is 68 yrs old now.. he can skin a buck/doe after shooting it.. he can catch fish.. he can grow everything in the garden.. We have our dogs and chickens.. I'm a blessed woman.. We are pretty much self sufficient on our farm.. I love that.. I do my part.. but I will never take anything away from him.. he's a beast.. and I love him for it. My worst fear is losing him.. I'm quite a bit younger than him.. but don't want a life without him..

I remember being 8 years old with a carton of copperhead BBs. Finding Arrowheads. Learning what plants is medicine, or poison, or a good jam.

Great reaction. Oh I be one of those fellas he’s talking about.

My grandparents raised nine kids and never once went to a grocery store, but they always had plenty of food they grew/raised on their farm.

we know how to plant and harvest spent several years on the farm, me Hank Jr. in Dothan Al. back in 83 great guy nice man

This is a True story he wrote about his friend who was killed...

I listen to this song every single night when I walk....... one of my favorite songs ever!!!!!!!! I hope ya enjoy :)

That sound, and that feel is twang, and I am glad you are here for it!

I enjoy watching your reactions! You're open minded to all types of music. And yes, Country folks can survive!!!

Absolutely 💯 🔥

Your channel is growing!!! 💥💥💥😍😍🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥

I am from West Alabam. Hank has a place in South Alabam. In Alabama, we are not required to have a gun permit. If you see a white woman whose purse seems to be heavy, it is because she had something in her purse for protection. It is not unusual to see a man with his gun on his hip. We live in a city of about 120,000 and we have chickens, a garden and a little community lake to fish in.

MAN OF STEEL.

Brother would love to have ya come go hunting on my land in Southwest Virginia, we are mountain boys but we are good people that just love our life in the mountains

Chris leddoux this cowboys hat is another great country song like this.

Ol Hank Jr. got some pipes my friend.

Another good band to check out is Alabama the closer U get Or Dixieland delight

It is a twang. Country folk take care of their own across the board. It is such a different life from the city. True sense of community. If you live there, no matter what you look like, you are community. I can hunt and shoot. I can fish. I can grow. I live in the city now but it wasn't always that way. Oh, and I am not a guy. LOL

I luv luv luv your videos. I swear I think people making reaction videos have forgotten how to make a proper reaction video. Yours is the best I've seen in a really long time. I luv the way you really delve in and give your honest perspective. Thanks so much ❤

I was raised in both city and country sorrounds I skin a buck to take care of myself in the city it's the way of life for me you put in me in any life style I'll survive no matter what.

I'm loving your reactions and comments to Hank Williams Jr. ❤❤

HOSS I Love that you just chilling like you just got out of the tub from a scrub🛀 no shirt no shorts? Just enthusiasm for the Song😉

You should watch Hank Jr’s documentary, He fell off a really high cliff and almost died, messed his face up really bad, His dad was a 50’s legend

Shon, I always love your honest and heartfelt reactions. Please keep them coming!!

Ufc fighter Matt Hughes entered the octogon with this song.

I love seeing you enjoying this kid 🙏

Peace, Love!!

The boat is called Miss Audrey, that was the name of his mother.

If you don't know who Josh Prey is, but he videos about his Bright Friends. The one that cracks me up so much is, "5 Things I Learned At The Gun Range" I suggest you listen to his stuff because he is so funny. Now about my country roots; I remember being 12 years and my dad was playing country music at this wedding. They were passing gallon jugs of Jack Daniels and it was considered an offense if you didn't take a swig of it. So, I took a swig, without any "chaser". Our family come from share croppers (and some moonshiners, no joke); my dad did that (share cropping, not making or running shine, even though I do have a very close family member who ran shine in the late 1970's to 1980's!) until probably 17 or 18 years old. See, not only were Black people pickin' cotton so was my Indian(woo woo, not dot dot) and Irish family. They went from North Carolina, Florida Reservations/Nations, through Alabama, and Mississippi; even though our Choctaw Tribe was originally from an Alabama ; (yes, with the Irish side on it too!). They then ended up farming their own land in Missouri and they had everything from peaches, apples, watermelon, tomatoes, okra, and a lot more different vegetables and fruits and they also had their own hogs to slaughter. They were self sufficient and did sell their products. We all have a gun or gunz like Josh Pray calls it. Heck some of our family have tannerite because they have a lot of land! Yeah, that will destroy a car in about 2 seconds! Anyway, even though we have some crazy ways, not only country people can survive, but people who learn how to do the things that can make you self-sufficient. Might want to go in the backwoods with someone you trust; who can teach you the way to survive. I know they have courses for it, but don't go to the big companies, go to the country ones; they can literally teach you how to make a survival hut if you get caught in a blizzard or if you need to survive hunger if you get lost in the woods and how to be found before you die! You are always so cool about how you deal with new things.

Shon you HAVE to put “Simple Man” by Charlie Daniels on the list PLEASE and Yeah it’s extremely sexy when you know no matter what, your man can provide….we will make it if an apocalypse ever happens #CountryLife

Shon, PLEASE react to Warrant singing Cherry Pie. You’re in for a shock, lol! Thanks

I recently discovered you. You're awesome. I started watching your old reactions and you never disappoint. Cheers from Canada!

that 'boing' sound you made was perfect = 'mouth harp'

South Florida has Palm Beach Oceanfront 🌊down to Miami with The Everglades🐊🦌and cattle Country 🐂🐄🐴 beside it. Swamp to Sea. 🎣 Florida Man. Cmon down!🌞

Your right man country boys are ambitious hustlers don't believe some of the stereotypes.

I’m a country boy, well 55 year old one, but yeah we can do all these things. And the part about his friend being killed is true.

Great reaction.

Family Tradition!!!!!!!

Here's a new band to give a listen, if interested. "Dave Mathews Band - Too Much (Official Video)" (by the channel: Dave Mathews Band) --This song by Dave Mathews Band was released in 1996 from their album called "Crash." It also reached #5 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. Dave Mathews Band is known for its unique blend of genres such as folk, rock, jazz & blues along with world music. Which has created their own special sound. They are considered a "jam band" because they are renowned for the band playing songs differently at each performance...hence the meaning "jam band. lol

I get the message and I approve. I'm a country boy at heart. I've lived in Texas and Arkansas too. But, isn't the goal to thrive and not just survive? To survive; is setting the mark pretty low? Personally, I'm working to exceed expectations and to thrive. Great song!!

Greetings from the Great White North 🇨🇦 I live in a country environment and yes I agree with you on your comment of being able to thrive. My opinion is that we are more self reliant. For example we don't necessarily rely on a grocery store for our food supply.

Damn bro University of Tennessee needs linebackers! Lol Great reaction!

All My Rowdy Friends {the old MNF theme}, All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down, Gonna Go Huntin, Attitude Adjustment, Woen I've Never Had, If Heaven Ain't a Lot Like Dixie, Honky Tonkin

Riding and packing a horse along with learning how to shoot is part of high school curriculum that I attended. It has a gun club and two shooting ranges (for over 100 years) I fished every day, for 20 years, when I lived in lake arrowhead CA. Now I’m in the Santa Ynez Mountain range…. rattlesnake and quail are on the menu. Am I allowed to call myself a “ Country boy“ if I live in CA?

Hank came to Pittsburgh to sing the National Anthem at a Steelers game several years ago. I've stood through many, many renditions at the games, his was by far the very best I've ever witnessed. Waylon's Guitar is one of my favorite songs of his. Great reaction.

6:18,,, made him FEEL it.....

Country Anthem!

Plow during the day. Catch catfish at night. "We say grace & we say ma'am. If you're not into that, we don't don't give a damn."

it is a true story

Your reaction brought me joy, laughter, and gratefulness! Check out Led Zeppelin whole Lotta love and stairway to heaven. Also AC/DC thunderstruck. Please? Would like to see your non-judgmental reaction! ❤

you nailed it when commenting on cell phones..i live in the city but also lived in the country, i prefer country living any day of the week

I was born at home in Kentucky 1959,in a Larson wash tub and bathed in it till 1966

Learn to hunt my friend. The world, she's a changing. We can't rely on the man much longer

Great music from a better time good job shon😊
