Some of my finest memories are from my deployment to Afghanistan just living side by side with people from all walks of life. When we came home my machine gunner from Trinidad Tobago was in a motorcycle accident. When he opened his eyes I was there. His mom flew in and gave me the biggest hug for being there for her “little boy”. He was 6’5” and built like a marble statue but to her he was still that little boy running around the yard. He now has a son of his own and I love him like a brother. Thanks for posting such REAL content. I would like to do a cigar exchange with you if you would be so kind.
Dewayne you write it & I’ll buy it You wouldn’t have write it. Just tell your stories just like you do for us but record it on your computer ( your microphone guy can set you up). Then post it for purchase on-line. Seriously
This is better than a book. We get his voice, inflection, body language.... it’s only missing the sensations of smell, touch, and taste, but he also does a great job describing his smoke, drink, snack, and gives you the closest experience possible to actually sitting there with him while he tells a story.
I busted out laughing at just the thought of a couple of a distinguished English man and woman enjoying Simple Man more than an Opera show😂 I sure do hope to meet some people like them at some point. Sir, I absolutely adore your videos and thank you!
Worked at I-65 liquors in bowling Green ky. Charlie Daniel's would stop in whenever he had a concert up north or back south. What a character. Louis Lemour books was my favorite. Nobody has his his skills writing western like that jewel. Can't hardly find a person who has ever heard of him. People must not read much. Kinda sad. They don't know what their missing
I love this, I'm English, work for Historic Royal Palaces and did a working holiday on a Ranch in Saskatchewan. I made friends for life there, going back in June. They have told me I'm the best workaway they've ever had and aparently the kids and neighbours still ask about me 3 years on. Almost every amazing opportunity and memory I've bad can be traced back to meeting quality people. I wish more people could really grasp that.
That would have to be my dream vacation. I've always said I wanted to go horseback riding and git me a good mule to take me on my journey for a few days. I'm just a Southwest Missouri born and raised since 93. All I know is work and home since 18. I watch a lot of you radio sir and I very well appreciate you and your word. I really do hope this gets to you.. thank you for everything.
I have studied psychology and philosophy for some 50 years now, and just love listening to the wise and so effectively told, advice and stories by this wonderful man! Many thanks.
It’s good to have you back! Can’t wait to start getting some regular content again. Your soothing voice, kind spirit and practical advice are something my wife and I look forward to! Though we are going to try over the next year or two to get out to ride with you, even if we never physically get to meet you we consider you a friend and someone who is always welcome in our hearts and home! Blessings :-)
Dewayne, your story point of how all the good people you meet making up for the brief encounters that are not so pleasant is so spot on! I have guided hunters through the years and owned a company where I have the benefit of working with many wonderful craftsmen and meet people all over the world. I always say there are people you meet in life that test a person’s character and then there are those that build its foundation. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
You're absolutely right! The nicest ppl are out there to be met. I enjoy your videos as a touch of the West. I lived in New Mexico temporarily doing volunteer caregiving. I loved the Southwest and would have made it my home, but had to come back to Canada to be closer to my neurologist. I'll never regret my time out west; it broadened my horizons and introduced me to new ways of living life that I still enjoy.😊 I still enjoy meeting lots of people in people in my caregiving job here.
Once you've experienced the folks who work around/take care of horses(in the flesh), there is no going back. Everything else pales in comparison. You will never find such vivid 'humanity' as what you find in the true horsemen.( mind you, I don't mean 'riders,' whom perform or visit for an hour, then leave the dirty, dusty work for another.) Good, Bad, colorful, persistent... working beside the equine produces a special character out of a mere human. The Good Lord knew what He was doing when he gave US Horses to live beside.
I can definitely relate my mother is from England and she loves her some cowboys you can tell by the way she used to dress me up as a child God bless her love spending me some yarns around the campfire love a good old campfire thank you Dwayne 🤠🐝
Life is about people and relationships. All of life from family, friends, business and even brief encounters with strangers. We try to remember to stay positive in all these encounters. Your videos are good reminders to do so. Thank you.
I too was a wrangler for some years in the Adirondack Mountains.. I rode for 14 he's straight one day to set a record for never touching the ground changed 3 horses that day saddle to saddle. Oh the times as a young man. I rodeo on their local circuit 4-5 months a year.. until I went west and then south again. Many a great folks from around the world..
I am now searching ranches to see if anyone wants some one that's a good Steady goofed wrangler but a little older. And yes I want to end my yrs 40+, out where I once lived and loved being a part of.doing lessons take me for the personable state.kat,ct
You sir, have mastered the disappearing art of telling stories. I was captivated from start to end and definitely enjoyed a chuckle thinking upper class British couple enjoying some good ol' Charlie Daniels on their way home from Opera. Thanks for the story partner.
My recommended book would have been Elmer Keith's "Hell, I was There" No nonsense, crusty old bastards. It would be a great read for the modern social media crowd.
The simple truth is u really don't know what type of people u want life, put yourself out there so they could reach u, and after spending time and energy with this/these person/ people, u get to decide to keep or let them go. Follow your heart/gut and it's worth the time & effort to meet people. Best wishes everyone!
Kinda like truckin', there's a lotta places that aren't that good to go to, but then there's a few real good ones that remind you why you're out there. Thanks for sharing, gotta find that song now.
Your Advice from your experience has helped a little Dunn mare that I've been working this month Lightness as I've never felt Praise men like you and Buck sharing your life with us May I be a man that is similar! To God be the Glory
I've been sitting here going through your videos. I've skimmed some comments and a few others say the same, that they watched one and are now binge watching the older videos to get caught up. I just want to say I enjoyed the story telling in this one. Great videos.
I worked at Absaroka Mt Lodge, 2005. Lots of grizzlies… I was the breakfast cook. 10 lbs of bacon every day. It’s interesting, the only couple I specifically remember from that summer were also from England. They were fun. What I liked about the Europeans is they were just fascinated by everything we did. Horses, guns, mountains, animals, cowboys. The Americans, especially the teenagers, weren’t impressed by anything.
You made me feel as if we were sharing the fire and chatting! You really should write a book! I really appreciate your time and channel topics. Thank you.
I use that same Principle when it comes to People an work I’ve never Burnt a bridge even if I don’t like them an I have never had to look for a job the good ones find me 👍👍 keep the good work up old mate love the fire chats👌👍
Oh Dewayne, I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised to see this video. Certainly glad you were able to make it. Such a great setting too. I hope Texas is treating you and the wife good. I can't wait til the next one. Thank you and good luck with the your equine job possibilities.
Holy cow. I don't know how many videos i have watched of yours today but i cant stop watching them. Im not a cowboy. Always wanted to be. I tried to rodeo but sucked at it haha. Was raised on a farm but left when i got out of high school. Anyhow, i am a amateur photographer and am working on getting my PRCA card so i can start shooting pro rodeos but your video bring me back to when i was little of why i would love to have and live this lifestyle. I don't know you from adam but i would definitely call you a good friend. Thank you. Please keep the videos coming.
My parents managed a dude ranch in Colorado when I was a kid. It was one long vacation and lots of fun! I'll never forget the moonlight rides on my horse, Windy. Never doubt the impact you make on the guests of the ranch. :)
Boy, did I ever enjoy this one......... Nothing is better than a cigar by the campfire and then looking forward to laying down in your bed roll and getting a good rest. This really resonated with me as I did Civil War reenacting as mounted cavalry for over 25 years. You are right that the people are what make the difference. We all had a common interest of horses and history so we quickly became almost like brothers and forged friendships that last the rest of our lives. I can only imagine what an impression you made on the folks from GB. You seem like such a genuine person and a great ambassador for our country.
as a cigar smoker, the truth in your video is proven by the ash on your cigar! a truly GOOD cigar will grow and ash an inch long and not distract from the truth of the story being told! what a wonderful story, God bless.
Have to add a large Ditto to that.... Our Englishman is Paul... very educated history Prof and equestrian trainer for the Queen when he was younger.... the people you meet Wrangling leaves one with spot for humanity....
It's strange how the world and the cosmos workout. I've met people from all over the world from so many many different walks of life. And it's always amazed me how people from very different places and very different backgrounds can have amazingly so much in common. I click the like button on every one of your videos but it just doesn't seem enough. Watching and listening to you is like talking to a good friend that I've never seen or met before. Thank you sir.
Love your great attitude on people. I've worked with people in my career the last 30 years and I don't have your attitude. I'm gonna retire in less than a year spend more time with horses than people and I'm hoping a little of your perspective starts to take hold of me again. If not at least I've got my horses. Thanx keep up the good video sessisons.
You are the only channel I truly enjoy watching. Thank you for videos and messages that are truly worth something in the world we live in today🙏🏻. Cowboys really are true gentleman
Another fella from England here, just found your channel. I immediately bought the Charlie Daniels CD. Love it. I’ll try my best to live up to the old ways.
