I'm raising someone's husband and I want to get it right. Cannot believe how deep that hit. This thought should be every parents prayer for themselves.

That ending brother. That ending. Made me cry and think about my son. You are a great Dad 💙

This one ranks in top 5 wranglerstar videos. We are also training future husbands and wives and we are trying to get it right as well. Thank you!

“Sometimes he likes it, sometimes he doesnt but its good for him” we need more of this in society. I need more of it in my own life honestly

haha, Jacks face when you say what if you lift it up. Been there.

Outstanding statement "I'm raising someone's future husband and I want to get it right".

My father would regularly give me jobs he knew I would have a tough time finishing. Never out of spite and he always would jump in and help me out when I needed a hand. Doing something is the best way to learn how.

You’re getting it right Cody! Jack is turning in to a great man. Keep doing the good work that you do

-Cody "the ladies at the bakery will be happy" -Jack "they better be!" hahaha

I remember when you posted that video of young Jack taking a load of firewood to a neighbor. You're teaching him right and he is growing up to be a fine young man!

“I’m raising someone’s future husband. I want to get it right.” Jack has turned into quite a fine young man thanks to the values you and Mrs. W have raised him with. Y’all should be proud of the family you have raised as I’m sure you are. He’s a smart young man and has such a great attitude towards hard work. Well done Cody!

The montage at the end had me in tears. That’s what I am attempting with my son. Except I am having to learn to teach him in a non-abusive way,as that was how I was raised.

If the young ladies in your area are smart, they’d be aware of Jacks awesomeness and scoop him up right away! You’ve done an outstanding job of raising him!

The simple moments of Clarity for Jack: "You can raise up the blower to turn around" and "You know you have a big shovel on the end of that Yellow Machine" lol! Work smarter not harder! Great video and such a sweet ending.

Cody, if you are so inclined, maybe you could put some lockers in that old truck and film it for us. Good on you guys for helping out your neighbors with the firewood. 👍

"I'm raising someone's future husband" is profound...also a voter, a protector, a helper, and a believer.

Your closing message is powerful. This is what it means to be an influencer.

It has been a blessing to watch your family grow. Should be mandatory watching for the younger generation.

Man, that last part really got to me. I think of my own son who I've watched grow into a great kid, my right hand man, always by my side ready to help, just seeing the flashbacks reminds my how fast time goes by. I'll be honest, I'm not ready for him to be Jacks age. But there isn't any stopping it.

Great vlog today. Teaching your children life skills is the most important thing a parent can do. That footage of Jack when he was young almost made me cry. I hope I can do the same for my son.

All of you videos I’ve watched through the years, this one hits home. Your doing amazing things, raising a strong young man physically and mentally. We should all take notes. Thank you Cody!

That's my style of parenting! Exactly how I do my son, who's 11. Give him a task, let him figure it out, and check on him to offer direction if he needs and make sure he doesn't kill himself. You're killing me with the end though. Just reminds me how much work I have left to do before he isn't that little guy anymore.

Very touching, Cody. Nicely done. -Ed

In the years that I've been watching, this has to be one of my favorite videos. The way that you challenge Jack is exactly what I'm doing with my 14yo Son. Bravo.

You're doing a wonderful job training your son. My father instilled in me "if its difficult we will get it done, if its impossible it may take us a little longer" keep up the good work.

I enjoy all of the cool tool, gear and gadget content alot but i always catch myself smiling when I watch this father, son stuff.

I truly enjoy your interaction with your son. The teaching, the leading. He receives it well, too. Which directly reflects his raising. There are many things I missed in life, from my father being gone or sick in the hospital. While I knew he was a good man, I had no leadership growing up. With my girls, I pray I lead them in a way they find a good man.

I'm guessing that spending the time to clear a double wide path for the truck could of saved on how many times the truck needed to be jerked forward. It looked like it was getting stuck on the banks.

You brought happiness, and tears to an old mans eyes with your statement about getting it right in raising our children. Our children grow up faster than we think. You are a "GOOD MAN" my Friend.

The ending hit home. Made me realize just how thankful I am to have a father that raised me just how you are raising Jack. I am more than thankful for everything he has taught me. You are raising a great young man and you should be proud.

It's been a joy to see how your relationship with Jack has grown over the years. Of course, my pov is limited by what I see on screen, but it seems to have come a long way. Some maturing in both parties involved...father and son. As a father, I once wanted my interest and hobbies to be as 'entertaining' to my daughters as they were to me. Seeing them each find their own and watching it develop, and supporting their passion for it, has been a great teaching moment for me. Thanks for sharing a bit of yall's relationship here on YT.

Cody you have done and are continuing to do a wonderful job raising that’s fine young man. You are an example to all fathers to raise their sons right. It is such a blessing in my life the Lord has connected me with you help me be the father that I need to be. So much time has been lost in my life as I seem to have had my head up my tail feathers for many years. But the Lord has been good and gracious to me and has pulled my head out of there, and is working deeply and wonderfully in my heart and mind. I was watching the live stream Saturday night with you really enjoying it and I thought I had Covid but it turned out I didn’t praise the Lord!!! It turned out I have pneumonia so I had to go to the hospital and get checked out and get on some meds. Thank you so much for all you do!! I pray for you and your family and may the Lord bless you greatly!!!

The polite interaction between you and your son made me smile, something I never had so I learn from others and pass on to my son.🙂

What an amazing video, I could watch y'all work all day, The interaction between you too and how you teach him with out yelling or doing everything for him. And the ending almost bringing me to tears. He is so lucky to have you as a father. And I'm so blessed that you have been putting out videos for me to grow up to aswell. I'm a bit older then jack but not by much. You have tought me so much about what it means to be a man, how to find God, and countless countless other things. Thank you for sharing your life, knowledge, experience, and struggles with us all. Not all of us are lucking to have men like you in our lives. And You have had a Huge impact on my life and I am forever greatful

That hitch procedure is brilliant, thanks! Makes sense….

The work might be hard at times but the memories are priceless, keep up the good work Jack these are the good times. 👍

I wish I would have had a father like you growing up. Maybe my life wouldn't have been half as hard, great job Cody!

Seeing the video of little jack loading up the atv for one of your elderly neighbors reminded me how long I’ve been watching your content. Great video as always!

Great video. Jack has grown so fast. I remember that video of him taking kindling down to the older neighbors. Doesn’t seem that long ago. Reminds me to cherish every second of every day with my daughter. Thanks bud.

I didn't know that about the trailer hitch rating and tow strap. Thanks for sharing the wisdom of knowledge.

What if you lift the snow plow up? hahaha. The look on Jack's face. We have all been there 😂

I was all pumped for a in-depth conversation on the pros and cons of being a content creator. This was fun too thanks for doing what you do

Your father and son journey has been very fun to watch over the past 10+ years. From woodworking, tool maintenance, taking care of animals, the land, equipment, and how to be a man. Very inspiring. Hope I get to have a similar experience if I ever have a child.

You've done a great job raising a fine young man, Cody. As always, keep on crushing.

You got me right in the feels for the "I'm raising someone's future husband and I want to get it right" I can only pray that I raise a young man better then me.

That was such a cool video, Cody. Seeing Jack all grown up and the footage of him younger. Wow, you did a great job raising him.

One thing I have noticed about Jack is that he thinks about things and if he is unsure, he asks. Then like when you said lift the plow, he accepted it and he took the advice. Love how you let Jack drive the heavy equipment. Great tip using the hitch pin to tow. Lovely shots at the end Cody.

Sometimes you just have to look at the controls and contemplate them. Definitely need two guys, one to pull and one to drive the retrieved vehicle.

At least it's 20 degrees. This east coast man is dealing with - 5 temps today

Its been really nice watching you and your son's relationship over the last few years. Gives me something to aspire to as my kids grow! Long time fan!

Good advice about not using the ball hitch to tow with. I do the same thing using the pin itself. It may seem insignificant to some, but it's little tricks like that, that add to one's skill sets. Eventually Jack will be able to figure out how to fix just about anything.

Everything is a TEST that's how you LEARN to be a GREAT MAN 🤝🏻

What a profound piece of wisdom. "I'm raising someone's husband".

You look like you're always having so much fun and are happy with what you're doing, hopefully one day I'll figure out wth im doing and be on the road to something like you have. Thanks for sharing.

I've really been enjoying your channel lately! Thank you for the wonderful content, (I especially enjoy the "Professional Homeowner" stuff. You remind me a bit of my father when I was growing up in NV. He always had us riding dirtbikes, skiing/snowboarding, fishing trips, building redwood fences for the whole neighborhood LOL. But he always found a way to work a life lesson or teach a new skill, there was always a learning opportunity presented in whatever the task/activity was. He passed about 1y ago, but I'm so thankful that he did that when I was younger.

I laughed so hard when jack said he’d get a 4 car garage, I was thinking the same thing 😂🤣

Second*

Nathan at Out of the Woods was having the same trouble with his hydraulic hose’s. Not sure where he got it, but he bought a hose clamp that was designed to couple them together without having to have all the pressure bled off. Great video and GOD BLESS you and your family.

I love that your son has you to learn from. ❤️❤️❤️

Wranglerstar bringing the onions again. I coincidentally stumbled on to the belt for jack video just a few nights ago going back through old stuff. Been watching and learning for a long time now keep it up!

I reflect on the jobs and tasks my Grandfather would have me perform. Yard work and such. Constant muttering to myself how much I hated doing these things and how it was not fair that my sister never had to help. Now I find myself assigning these exact same chores to my son. Giving him the same speeches that I was given from grand dad. I learned the value of hard work and how to reap the benefits of said hard work. These are the benefits in which we want our sons to sew. Great job.

The ending w/Jack as a little guy brought tears to my eyes. What's that saying 'give em wings'. You're doing a great job raising Jack. God Bless

Jack's growing up great, I'd be proud to know a youngster like him. He proves there is hope for some of the next generation.

Jack is right about getting that "4-car garage," AKA the out-building that the county would not let you build. Previous commenters are correct about using two containers and roof trusses to build a shelter for heavy equipment during winter. That is what I used do as a heavy construction project manager.

Gotta LOVE winter here in the west where we have so many awesome winter sports we can do. Cody I so admire you for letting Jack learn how to do things. Over the years you and Mrs W have done such an amazing job. NAIVE QUESTION: what would happened had the truck been pushed NOT pulled out?

Just an observation…. Notice how Cody reacted upon seeing his friend’s snowmobile. Cody was excited FOR his friend! He bragged on what great decisions his friend had made on the accessories and was so proud for his friend. Then invited him in for a cup of coffee. What a GREAT example for Jack. Too many people are jealous when others are blessed. They wish they had gotten a new bike, or talk about how theirs is better, or point out how they should have gotten something different. Cody put his friend first and rejoiced with him. Cody was in awe of how great the bike looked, how impressed he was, “rejoiced” with his friend, then suggested they celebrate over a cup of coffee! Well done Cody! I’m impressed!

Now I’m not much older than Jack (Im only 18), but I have been watching your videos for a long time and do indeed remember jack getting his first axe and the treehouse among other things. That ending hit me like a freight train and I can’t thank you enough for the lessons you’re teaching not only jack, but all the other young men who are watching your videos.

Jack is growing up to be a real impressive young man. How many teens know how to operate a skid steer and a mini-excavator? I felt privileged to have a Dad who taught me electrical, plumbing, and carpentry. Rarely a week goes by that I don't use a skill he taught me. There will be a day when you are gone. The fact that he will have all these videos documenting the skills you taught him and the quality time you spent together will be priceless.

The shots back and forth of little Jackers and him being so much more grown were a really, really nice touch here. Thank you for bringing us all along on this wonderful journey of yours. As insane as the internet can be with the negativity, toxicity and misinformation, I'm glad there are places that exist that allow us to all grow together collectively. And here on this channel it's truly been a beautiful experience.

What father can watch the end of the video and not cry. Looking back on your boy growing up over the years. Fantastic. Love it.

I was there for Jacks first wood delivery on that 4 wheeler it's nice to have been part of this channel so long you have done right Cody

So cool to see how far he's come and grown through the old clips...you have you a good boy. You should be proud of him and yourself

I have been watching for almost a year and this video really fully explains why this channel has become bigger than an axe or knife review channel. You should be commended for this accomplishment. This is by far your best on so many levels. I have been blessed to run onto this channel. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful montage at the end Cody. Been watching since before that video of Jack and its a great reminder than life passes by quickly and to enjoy the present. Thanks for letting us journey together with you and your family.

This video right here is why I enjoy watching your videos! I have a 3 year old son that I’m slowly teaching him things as he grows up! Thanks for all you do

Loved it. My son is 32 now. We just purchased an 82 acre wood lot in the western mountains of Maine. We are building a house together on it in the spring. Our running joke is that he’ll text me out of the blue “ it’s all your fault “. Meaning “you taught me how to do everything myself and now I can’t even bear to hire stuff out”🤣. God bless and take it easy on us east coast guys 😉

We have the same problem with the flat faced connectors, what helps sometimes is to jiggle your auxiliary handle to relieve that pressure.

I first thought that cat wasn't necessary but I stand corrected. Its an absolute necessity. Good purchase Cody

IMHO one of your best videos. Good teaching technique, great philosophy, and some useful info. All this with a healthy dose of family pride and love.

That was beautiful seeing Jack grow up to a fine young man! Thanks Cody! You must be proud of him.

I think one of the first videos I saw of yours was a belt for Jack. Seeing him then and now is amazing Cody. You and Mrs W have done an outstanding job.

My oldest boy is three now and I really appreciated the tribute to Jack and your last words. That’s one of the perspectives I want to keep in mind all the while we raise him. Thank you for the reminder, sir.

Genius tip about not connecting to the trailer hitch ball! As someone that rarely uses my truck to tow anything, I never considered that the ball couldn't be hooked up to like that, thanks for the great tip!

Not gonna lie I got a little choked up at the end of this. As a new father to the game I appreciate everything you guys do. I’ve watched for many many years since Jack was a young boy. I remember when people got upset you raised your voice at him in a video when he was young. You’ve raised a great young man Mr. Wranglerstar. I may not know you guys but I’m proud of all you’ve accomplished throughout the years. God bless.

Thank you Jack, for allowing us a glimpse into your journey. Thank you Cody, for sharing these experiences. I think every father can/should appreciate how difficult it must be to determine which moments to share when family members are involved. You've done a masterful job! Keep sharing...

I’m bound to echo many others here but wow. I’m raising someone’s husband and I want to get it right. Followed by an incredibly touching montage, showing us a small part of the journey of your boy. Seeing the melancholic pride of seeing him gather not only wood but wisdom and responsibility. You are truly excelling at your story telling and cinematography. Also your audio is always phenomenal. I didn’t expect this video to hit so hard but it did. Thank you for inspiring the next generation, and this one as well.

Top notch video Cody, especially the last part. Also, I think you quickly showed off your new drawer mats, yay! That dudes snow bike was saweeeet.

My son is about Jacks age. The last 2 minutes really hit home about just how fast out children grow up.

Having been working with towing things for many years I was never aware of (or never thought about) the potential of the thing breaking off and becoming like a cannonball. That little bit of information has opened my eyes to potential hazards. THANKS!... for that little bit of enlightenment.

As the father of a young boy this might just be one of your most inspiring videos yet. (And I’m pretty certain I’ve watched them all). Nicely done.

It's an absolute blessing to be a father of boys ! I have 3 and there all growed up now and they tell me stories about how they do certain jobs and I smile because I remember where they learned how to do them. You teach them so much more then you realize just by them being around you while working. Enjoy your time with him Cody because it's short lived !

That rug is beautiful. It looks like a rug you could lay down on, end up in a dad nap and wake up wondering what day it was lol.

That last minute got me. My son is 7. We rode dirt bikes together last night. He’s my world and I wish I could slow every moment down. You’re a good man Cody. Great dad too.

WOW, Mr. Wranglerstar, as a father of two (now grown sons who are fathers themselves now) your montage of your son young and now a young man has made me so appreciate the men my sons have become. It would appear that the older one becomes the more they become reflective...thank you sir. I believe I will be giving them a call today, God bless you and your family.

Man hit me in the feels with that last line Cody. My son is only 1 but I hope he turns out like young jack, you are raising a fine young man. Cheers from Canada

Just want to take a minute and say thank you I have followed you and your family s journey through this crazy thing we call life and it has been a pleasure every step of the way. So thanks for all the tips and tricks you shown me and thank you and ms w. For allowing us to watch young jack grown into the fine young man he is becoming prayers and best wishes. Cody Caudill

Hey Jack. &Cody nice job on the retrieval on the track loader but don't ya think it would've been a better idea to attach something to both of the back tie down points/pull points and attach your strap in the middle. Me and my dad used to pull logs with his bobcat skidloader and bobcat had a slight different method for tie down but the principle is the same and what we did is we had a short section of chain and put that thru and hooked our pulling chain to that (if I remember right) in the middle and that also spreads out distribution of weight of object being pulled and directs all your power. I noticed when you were pulling you would jolt forward and then stop and it jerked you to the side slightly. I hope this helps

This may be the best episode I've ever seen, cinematically speaking. And I've been watching this channel a loooong time.

You can have temporary limited-slip differential by holding the brake. That gets the stalled tires turning. We do this all the time.
