Thank you Tim. A couple of weeks ago my young son was complaining about how he couldn't do something because it was too hard. I showed him a video of yours and told him to always remember when he thinks something seems tough to remember what this real man can do successfully with a smile on his face and no complaints in his heart. "If that man can drive a boat in a river current with his feet and shoot a fish with a bow and arrow with his teeth then what can you not do son?"
I have been watching the channel off and on, but never had any idea about Tim's arm. What an inspiration he is to others, and still so upbeat all of the time. What a class act!!
Tim, back in '01 I was involved in an auto accident and suffered a stroke afterward due to a brain bleed. I have seen your show several times and felt an immediate connection to you. I adapted a rod and reel to a Power Wheels motor and kept on fishing. It is good to see you continue to live life and hang in there. I am amazed at your bowhunting skill but I have an upper plate so I might shoot prematurely and have to retrieve my teeth after every shot. I feel like God has blessed me to be able to show unbelievers how to handle adversity! If that's the case I'm glad to do it.
I've been subscribed to this channel forbade good while now, even though I'm in Alabama. It's just a feel good, old fashioned outdoor channel. I've watched Tim and always wondered the story behind his arm, and I'm glad to finally end that curiosity. Although I'm fortunate enough to not have to conquer those specific challenges, I will say that you're an inspiration in knowing that there's always a way to do what you love.
I am disabled as well. And I would ten thousand times rather retell the story then have people look at me like I am a freak of some sort. Not all of us injured are ok with telling their story. But hell doesnt hurt to ask. :)
I have watched your videos for a yr. now. You are a inspiration to me to see what you can do. I have a disabilities from a work accident and it seems like one step forward three steps back the last three yrs. I have been in the hospital more times the last three yrs then my whole family. Maybe if I start fishing again it will keep my mind off things. Thanks Tim !
Tim is a true inspiration. His knowledge of the outdoors, and outdoor activities should be acknowledged by sportsmen, and women all over the nation. There's just no stopping a guy like Tim. I hope to some day meet him.
Tim - couldn't help but wonder about your hand as well... now that I know, I also believe that you have been blessed by God and are using this blessing to positively affect the lives of others... Thank you for not allowing what could have been a horrific accident to taint your life, your optimism, and the positive energy that you exude. Keep it up!
Oh my Semperfi...another reason that I don't go on bikes.. I like my 4 wheels... everyone the feel the breeze in the car.. or truck.. love watching Tim Farmer... hope one day I'll get to see you in person... God Bless..
Tim, been watching your videos and wondered what happened to your arm. My brother had a motorcycle accident many years ago similar to yours hit a rock but he went down and never got up again. It's great to see your tenacity in overcoming all that you have gone through and everything you do... Love your videos and keep it up your a true buckaroo!!! Thanks again- your an inspiration- keep on sharing!!!
I've watched some of Tim's shows and it never occurred to me that he didn't have the use of his right arm, but it did bring to mind another lifelong family friend of my parents. Rodney T. was a lineman for the power company. A year after his marriage to Mrs. T, at the age of 22, he was repairing lines when the transformer by him exploded. He was declared dead multiple times during the next days, losing his right arm, all but his left thumb and forefinger, with 3rd and 4th degree burns over much of his body. He not only survived, but, like Tim, learned to do everything himself, including buying a standard Jeep Wrangler he had to shift to take to the deer lease. He was featured on the cover of our local paper once for the 10-point he took down on opening day, holding that leather strap on his compound bow for nearly 10 minutes to get the perfect shot and not just wound the deer. Rodney and his wife not only fathered three children I grew up with, but they fostered more than TWENTY kids over his life! He was one of our 4-H leaders and was always ready to give us young bucks support when we doubted our abilities. We lost a great man, mentor and human being just over two years ago, after years of struggling with severe side affects from his injuries. He never complained, and until the end, he reassured his wife and kids not to worry, that he loved the life God had given.
Awesome I'm a long time hunter abduction fisherman from Canada and in a wheelchair and have missed being in the outdoors so much. This makes me want to start again. Thanks for sharing your story. Phil
Tim farmer for president . Also we need congress filled with men like him with his spirit, courage and commitment. Don't forget the supreme court as well . My hat is off to you Mr. Farmer . may god bless you always .
Found Tim Farmer channel recently, absolutely love watching, as I learn so much. I wondered what had happened to cause such an injury. Thanks to motorbike riding I have 6 pins in my lower back and 2 in my neck. I count myself lucky that I'm able to do most physical work on our farm, nowhere near what I used to, but overcoming the pain is the greatest challenge on a daily basis. Tim has such charisma in front of the camera, makes anyone feel capable of achieving anything. I'm blown away as he's overcome so many challenges and lives life to the fullest, helping people along the way. What a wonderful person! xx
You Tim are a true inspiration, Your passion and love for the outdoors gave you the adversity to overcome your disability has gave me a new outlook on life and truly how good I have it. Thank you.
just caught up with this video and its an inspiration to anyone who is disabled and thinks they cant get out and do anything where there is a will to do there is a way to do it. i just want to say thanks for all you guys do. If you try hard enough and are willed enough you can make anything happen.
Love your story and I think you are blessed of God. Amen! The things you do and it is awesome the way you can bow fish and hunt and shoot a fire arm.. Awesome.. God Bless and I do hope in this life time I'll get to see and talk to you, but chances are we won't meet, your life is full of things and I'm retired living in Ft. Wright, KY. Well, all I can say: thank you ever so much for sharing your videos on ketky and kyafield,, God Bless..hc
Mr. Cale, thank you so much for all the kind comments that you have given us over the many many videos. We don't meant to be rude in not answering all our comments but it's just too overwhelming. However, we did find a few minutes to say hello to you. GOD BLESS YOU TOO!
KYAfield I just recently found your channel and I love it. Tim is remarkable. I am now disabled due to complications from diabetes that I wasn't aware of and it scares the deal out of me to be honest. lost feeling in my lower legs and slowly losing it in my left hand. I do a lot of stuff due to must muscle memory and I loving smoking meat and bbqing for my friends and ffamily I'm teaching myself different ways as well. Tim is a great inspiration. Thank you for what you do i have learned a lot from your channel already.
An amazing story instead of sulking the rest of your life and feeling sorry for yourself you went out and found a way to not only do the things you love but to excell in them. Ill have to remember this anytime im feeling down and learn to be thankful for what I have.
Wow Mr Farmer you are a true inspiration I love the fact that you just find a way to do what you want and enjoy yourself you have been a real inspiration to me and I love your hunting videos but I am really enjoying the Cowboy cooking esp the ones with Dutch ovens please keep it up and thanks again for everything!
You are a great guy. I never felt the need to comment on a video before but I just watched about 20 of your video's in a row and I understand. Thank you.
You have done a great job since the motorcycle accident, and made excellent video's that I have enjoyed! Thank you for being a great person and enjoying your Life doing what you enjoy!
I saw about 8 of his country kitchen videos before I even noticed his "disability". I only call it that because that is the word that is used. I personally would call it his motivation but that motivation was there long before the accident. I only watched this out of curiosity and respect. I was just simply curious of the story of Tim because his videos caught me eye and connected to me right of the bat. Just wanted to say a thank you to Tim for who he is.
Love to watch KYAFIELD video's. Great work and always fun to watch. We have Monday to Saturday to fish, hope you go the church on Sunday! God Bless and thanks for sharing. From Covington, KY
Amazing stuff! I have an identical story to you and am real happy to see you doing all the things you love. Had an accident on my ninja in 06' and my right arm is paralyzed from the elbow down. Keep it up! Thanks for the inspiration.
I applaud you and am sorry about your accident, you moved on and continued to try to live a normal life which you have shown everyone. Your are an inspiration too all . I drive a motorcycle too and always look at everything. God Bless you And your family.
Tim your the start of me i say all the time you never to old to be young... Your never to defeated to try something else... Big Thumbs up for me.. Hot bolts and dead shots... Cheers man..........
Tim you have blessed us all with the chance to get to know you better through this story and Kentucky Afield. In every aspect of the sense, this story is and should be an inspiration to all "Aggravated" Sportsmen & Women that say I can't. I thank you for sharing this story with all of us, it is a true reflection of who you really are, a great entertainer, host, sportsman and man. Some day I hope to be as good or as or close to as good of an entertainer host as you are. Hunt Hard & Hunt Safe Tim
I saw some of your cooking videos and naturally wondered. It's nice you made this video, thanks. And thanks for the (sometimes corny lol) cooking videos. Good stuff. Best wishes!
Tim, I have watched several of your videos, and they were all extremely good! But I was wondering what happened to your hand… After seeing your story, I guess your videos will be even better!!!
Wow. ...see I rarely watch a video whole but this here I had to and it just blew my mind, man I even laughed so hard when by shooting a compound bow with your teeth you answered this question "how in the world you shoot with? then you shoot a gun and reel those nice fish in??? You are an inspiration sir my respects to you and keep inspiring people like this...Thanks.
wow thats a lot to go thru, your still doing good, that is all it matters. I Have a buddy that lost his fingers from a hand held power saw(4 of them) got them put back on didnt lose a beat and he is doing great! Keep your good work up on the cooking shows. :-) (But it has been over 20 years ago had time to heal.
Ive been watching Ky Afield and Tim as the host since I can remember..He's a great host and a inspiration to people with physical disabilities. A true outdoors-man who deserves his success as a TV host. Id go hunting or fishing with him anytime!
