1.5 hours west of New Orleans is a rare culture living in tune with the swamp. Here, the locals spend their time removed from society, telling stories, hunting/cooking their food, and existing in a world that hasn't changed much in 100 years. Join me as we meet these fantastic people who open up their world to us.

@marisahokefazi2949 Месяц назад

Done ( Subscribed to Dat Louisiana Life). Thanks for a very interesting Saturday morning beginning. I remember seeing skinned neutra for sale piled high at the Lexington Market in Baltimore (Which has been going strong since the 1700s), and not knowing what they were. The neutra booth was not far from the Faidley's crab cake booth, which is where I was going to buy jumbo lump crab cakes from old Mrs. Faidley and family. Having no idea what neutra were - whole, stretched long and thin with huge teeth like a skinned beaver, they looked like giant rats or dead cats or raccoons - I had no idea what they were. When I got back home to Hampden in Baltimore and asked my former beau, Barry, what a neutra was, he said, "Giant rats, and people eat them." He said that he had eaten neutra, but wouldn't again. I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Tara and family"s life, and hearing about Cajun tradition. It surprised me to hear how the United States tried to eradicate the Cajun culture by disallowing the language to be spoken in school.

There are a lot of misconceptions. Big cities are sick now, but there's so much more to the country though than NYC and LA. You couldn't pay me to visit NYC right now. Edit - Now I live in near a small town in southwest Colorado, with 1000 people and 1 stop light. Probably the best area of the country I've ever lived. Unfortunately, politicians 6 hours away in Denver are now trying to destroy us along with the Front Range cities

And Peters videos are 10x more entertaining at the soul of the video.. It's not just mind-numbing entertainment, its real genuine connection that touches your heart and soul. What does that say about the mainstream media? Peter tells the stories of the individual. He's not biased, he gives those individuals an uncensored platform to tell their true story, and he isn't putting people into a "box" or a "group". The story is raw and its real. It's not manipulated to portray things in a certain way, it just follows the flow of the reality of the people that the videos feature.

It can simply not be the same as in small european countries/cities neighbourhoods.

Not sure if this was mentioned in the comments previously, but you'll notice the vast majority of the Cypress trees are thin. That's because virtually all the old growth Cypress forests were harvested in the 19th and 20th centuries on an industrial scale. As a byproduct of that unregulated industry, they also devasted much of the swamp and bayou country with the canals needed to access the harvested trees. Then came the early oil exploration days which also disregarded the health of the wetlands throughout the state, especially harming coastal areas. The straight cut canals and levee systems contributed to salt water intrusion through physical access and land subsidence that was no longer counteracted by yearly deposits of river carried sediments.

Not that it's easy anywhere, but at least you still got that pride abt hunting, gathering and surviving on your own. Without Big-Sam. If more of us lived like this, even a fraction of it, living more in tune with our human nature - being hunters and gatherers, but also farmers.
