I got hired by a guy who had an oyster farm when I was 16 years old, it was just summer work, as I was still in school, I had been kicked out of the house due to a terrible step father situation, and I needed a place to stay, the oyster farmer found out, he needed a strong back as his shoulder was injured, he said I’ve heard about your situation, and I need some help, you come stay with us and we will feed you, and we will pay you 7 bucks an hour / 40 hours a week, they had 3 kids, under 5 one was just a baby, and they could hardly feed themselves never mind a 16 year old that could eat the entire contents of a refrigerator in a day, but he was kind, they were kind, I went to work for them, doing whatever they needed me to do, Monday to Friday, 8 to 5 , mostly grading oysters and cleaning the mud off them, didn’t matter how much I got done by 5 I was done, time to get washed up and go chase girls, thing I didn’t know was that what I didn’t get done, the man had to Finnish, but he never said anything, but I noticed after a while, as time went on I became more and more a part of the family, they showed me love and understanding I hadn’t seen before, they became my family, I started calling them mom and dad, and they told people I was their son, one day after working all day 5 o’clock came but I wasn’t done, dad was beat, I saw him go back to the house, no came down later and said why didn’t you come up for supper? Your done at 5 we can’t afford to pay you more, I said I know mom, I’m not doing it for money, I’m finishing my work so dad doesn’t have to do it. I grew up a lot that summer, I stayed with them until I finished high school, I still call them mom and dad, I’m in my 40’s now, and just got off the phone with mom.

Now that is a story I'd like to see in the movies. Here in Europe we don't get to be that nice. The government won't let us. One arrogant decision by a company I worked for enabled me to go down life having some horrible experiences. It's bad when the state wants to have the monopoly on being social.

I remember as a teenager, I worked for the farmer across the road. He called one night and said he needed help catching a heifer who was having trouble calving. This was after supper, and I got back home about 24 hours later, after catching 6-8 heifers and pulling calves. That went on for about two weeks. My Dad asked me if I was getting paid overtime and I told him I didn't care if I got aid at all. He never understood why I hung around with that old farmer. Driving a tractor all night long, getting up before daylight to feed so I could get back on the tractor. I have not had a job as an adult that was as fun or rewarding as those days.

It was not meant to be.My attitude to work fits perfectly with the cowboy way. unfortunately, I have always had crappy jobs working for people who did not truly appreciate how much of myself I put into my work. I quickly realized I was mot doing the work for them. I worked for The Lord and also so I could face myself in the mirror with pride. Your take on scripture is spot on!

We had a lot of horses when I was a kid and one day, while my sister (around 5 or 6) and I (around 7 or 8) were scooping out stalls, she told my mom she figured out that she was going to be a horse trainer when she grew. When my mom asked her how she figured it out, she answered "because I already know how to do over half the work!" Referring to the scoopin', haha! Thanks for stirring up good memories 😄

You nailed an idea that I knew but couldn't explain. There's something, a pride, that a man takes in his work that drives him to DO IT. Maybe it's the same for women, I don't know, I'm a man. So often in my job I see people stop working because of the rain, refuse to do a task because it isn't easy, give up because they do not have the exact right tool, and I just shake my head and feel a little disgusted. Then I pull out my knife and some cord, or duct tape, or whatever I have and make it work. Too much of our culture today is about comfort, we've forgotten how to accept discomfort for the sake of a task that must be done. I'm the oldest person (59 years old) on my crew and none of them (mostly thirty-somethings) are WILLING to keep up with me. And, yes, I am proud that I can keep going, and work harder than anyone around me, but I do it by God's grace and my determination to get it done. SemperFi!

One thing I learned that has been very valuable to me is to Love the job you do. Even if im not proud of the job I have, I should be grateful to have a job to begin with, some people dont have the luxury of having a job. Have pride in being a good worker or doing the job right even if you don’t love your job. If you don’t you will end up just being mediocre at it, suck it up in the mean time and do good in it until you find another job.

So well said, Dwayne. I’ve learnt the hard way doing this ... bull charging banged me up pretty good, God’s grace, long story, short, my dog and I won in the end, and then I drove myself to hospital. I had many injuries but I’m proud of what I’ve achieved. I’m a stock woman on the land, and I love my dogs, stock horses, and my cows, calves, and my bulls. And need my Chiropractor too. Many said I wouldn’t make it, but I’ve proven them wrong. It’s a 24/7 on call, hard but rewarding lifestyle, but I finally found myself and belong here, just made for it, love it.

Mr. Dwayne, you’ve put the words to something that I’ve understood and forgotten off-and-on the last couple of years. I joined the Coast Guard just over a year ago, and my first unit I got stationed on a white cutter based in Kodiak Alaska. It’s exactly the adventure and change that I needed. It got me out of California and into some wild nature that I very badly needed to experience. I loved working on that ship. It was very hard work, and I spent countless hours as a deck hand out in the freezing rain handling lines the old-fashioned way or standing lookout out in the elements, but I was proud of that work. Partly because I surprised myself at having the will to do it, and it also felt meaningful. We were keeping those fishermen safe, and they were depending on us to come for them if they needed help. I fell in love with those islands. That’s one of the most beautiful bits of this planet. Now I’m stationed in Florida. It wasn’t where I wanted to go, and the mission we do down here isn’t one that gives me a great deal of moral satisfaction. It’s probably important as well, but there’s some gray areas about it that don’t sit easily with me. I’ve only been here a few months, but haven’t felt that same pride in the work I do here. There are many days I catch myself feeling resentful of it. There’s not much I think I can do about it, besides ride it out and try not to let it discourage me from the service. If I could go back to Alaska right now, I would without hesitation. But I don’t think that’s the right attitude. I should tough it out and look for the things about this job that I do feel proud of. It just isn’t as obvious here as it was up in Kodiak.

I love the scenery of Alaska, but just watching shows about crab fishing up there I know that I would want to get off that ocean and off the boat. From what you wrote, it sounds like you are going back there someday. If you love something that many other people could not ever do, it's always open to you. I myself am stuck in the comfort of L.A. and I can't handle freezing temperatures. Good luck, hope you can make it back there someday.

The wife and I came across your channel a few nights ago and I have to say, you're a man after my own heart: a reader, a brother of the leaf, and easy goin'. Though it was fun in my younger days, the only mustang I ever sat on, or in, was a '66 blue streak with 4 wheels and a quick temper. Unfortunately, cars and trucks are about the only things people wrangle around this part of the country. Anyway, we thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your show a whole lot, Dewayne. Especially, since good shows are hard to come by for 7 decade old timers like us. We got rid of cable 13 years ago, so your channel has become one of the jewels of our evenings. One last thing, I'd like to suggest two books. The first one is a highly regarded military autobiography, "The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant". It's an outstanding account of his Civil War experience. The second suggestion offers a deeper sense and appreciation of General Grant as a Christian, a soldier, and a President. The book is, "The Man Who Saved the Union" by H.W. Brand. I honestly believe he deserved a place on Mount Rushmore. Thanks for your channel. Take care, Duke and Mary

Howdy Dewayne. I enjoy your videos. I’m a 64 year old “east coast cowboy” who has owned and worked horses his whole life. I did seasonal work on a cattle ranch in northern Colorado for 7-8 years and loved every minute of it. I was offered a full time year round job on the ranch but couldn’t leave my family here in New Hampshire year round so they offered me a position during their busy times. I’m still working with other peoples horses to this day helping them with correcting minor behavioral issues, keeping their horses exercised, etc. I’ve done a lot of different things in life from boxing, training boxers, bull riding, being a long time member of a 1% motorcycle club, etc but I’ve never given up on my life with horses. I’m older than you but I feel like we’re two very very similar guys. Sure would be good to hook up with you at some point and help you out with some of your ranching work. Good day to ya!

My slight experience dealing with what you're talking about ... aside from the lessons my Dad taught me -- which is "If you're going to do a job, do it well." -- is that when working with animals, when working on a farm, etc., the job isn't done until it's done right. I'm a professional librarian who considers himself horseperson who loves to spend his time riding and working with and volunteering around horses as much as he can. But when I'm responsible for actually taking care of a horse from tooth to hoof, of taking care of a pet cat or any other kind of animal, you do what has to be done because I know I have this life that I'm responsible for. I might spend 30 to 60 minutes riding a horse and working with it. But I might spend another 2 or 3 or 4 more hours cleaning and treating that horse for whatever reasons, cleaning and fixing things around the barn, cleaning tack, and shoveling manure (etc.), and checking for whatever else needs to be done -- because there's always something else that needs to be done around a farm or ranch. People will ask me why I spent so long at the barn when all I was doing was "riding a horse." They just don't understand. It's not hard work if you love it. And those sore muscles I feel are a badge of honor for me. And frankly, I'd sooner be taking care of those horses than anything else. I always joke with folks and say "The hardest part of riding and working with horses is the ground," which I've hit about 18 or 19 times in 42 years. I've been bucked, bitten, kicked once, reared up on once, and come off those 18 or 19 times (tuck & roll baby, tuck and roll). Grateful to G-d I never got seriously hurt. I always tell people who shy away at horses for the smell, or because of their fears, and I say that I'd sooner die doing something I loved doing than sitting at home and worrying about it. I knew a tack shop owner who died playing his favorite sport of polo. He just had a heart attack while riding, and fell off his horse and died. I thought to myself, that's a good way to die. Fast, relatively painless, and in the heat of a passion for what he loved.

I get 4 weeks of vacation where I work cause I’ve been there so long. Honestly I don’t take a day off cause my dad has cancer.. colon cancer so he’s doing ok… but don’t when his time is up. Mom just passed this year do to bone cancer, I used 2 weeks of vacation for that. Plus my daughter has epilepsy and last year took 2 weeks off for her to do testing at two hospitals cause it got bad. She’s ok now.. teenager but a a damn good kid. I think I even got her watching your videos cause I use your advice all the time with her lol. She says I preach to much. I try to explain to her the benefits discipline does for a person mentally, it’s so amazing. I think I’m becoming religious to it’s weird.. a lot of good things have happened I can honestly say that. As far as my job.. not proud of it, it can be stressful cause it feels like a daycare for grown men and some women. Everyone is yelling at each other, blaming each other… I stay out of it and keep to myself. I make them wonder I’m sure. And honestly going forward I don’t plan on taking any days off unless I honestly need them. My boss, good guy, when giving me a raise this year said “ahh your the easy one, sign here”. Believe it or not I would always get panic attacks and when I’d sign it, I would always have very shaky hand.. embarrassing. But after mom passed, I stopped caring what people think.. that’s taken over 40 years. She had bad anxiety. Anyways I could go on and on. Life is good. Great video and advice. Much respect for you and your wife. True grit, I love it!!

I think people who genuinely work hard can enjoy leisure time with peace and their own thoughts and family much more than those who work an office job. Not saying office work isn't hard or those people are not as good, just that working physically AND mentally and pushing through breaks and meals helps you take in and be present when you do get down time. I have had office jobs that were very demanding and my down time I just wanted to curl up and die and was not present with my loved ones. It's just a different beast.

I totally agree with your interpretation of Hebrews 10:25. I have heard all my life the argument that it's a sin to miss one service unless you're sick, don't know where that part must be written. But, I have made the exact same argument that you made about working out of town. What seems to be overlooked in that passage is where Paul says, "as is the HABIT of some". The Christians there had made it a HABIT to miss worshiping with the other saints and that's all Paul was talking about.

Good message, and true. I drive a semi and hauled cattle for quite some time out of SC to Midwest and there’s no such thing as a time clock with livestock. How does one go bout getting on as a wrangler on a cow ranch, there’s not a lot of big ranches anywhere. Sad to see a way of life slowly dying

Blacksmith here again. There is not a day that I wake up and can't wait to get to the shop. I love what I do. I make money sometimes and other times when I don't have a commission I go in and it's exciting because I get to do play with my own stuff. I'll make a Damascus knife or an Axe or start on a Redwood slab table or do some Timber Framing for our cabin build. Just made a Peavy for rolling logs onto my new lumber mill. Had a day off last week and went to a friends ranch and felled a big Douglas Fir tree that was killed by the fires last year. This wood will be enough to complete the framing of our cabin. There is never "nothing to do" and I love it! I'm 66 and I was kicked by a Mule 40 years ago. Still hurts and still don't like Mules.

If you love what you do then it's ok, you can give 110% and still not feel burned out, but if you do your job just because you just need the money, make sure you DO get your time off for friends, family and things you really like, otherwise the years will fly and you will become an empty shell with nothing to show for it. I agree with what you presented, I have cousins that after a week or two of vacation they can't wait to go back to work. Me - i do my work, maybe even a little extra, but when the day is over then it's over.

Not thinking about wrangler school as of yet just here for the wisdom. Maybe in the future if I am single, I will think about it. Or maybe you can be married and be a wrangler, I do not know as of yet. As you run a school, I am not sure if this is different than being a wrangler. Edit: now I understand nevermind you explained it in detail. 100% correct about perks to equalize to not proud of the job or having joy in it. God would not be mad because you cannot be at every Sunday. He would be more mad at not following commandments and not having a personal relationship with him. Thank you for speaking about the chiropractor I was always skeptical about it. I am going to persue what I am good at and what I want to do, wrangler is not it. Thank you sir!

Mr. Dewayne, my friend, your videos, and a few others like it, are what make the internet even worth having, so thanks for that. If I may offer a critique, though, you might work on the sound volume on your vids. I have to turn my TV up so loud to hear ya, that when the next video comes on, it's blaring loud and scares the heck out of me. I really want to hear what you have to say, for it's worthwhile.

Great video’s; have watched a few and they raised a few questions if I may. How does employment work in this industry, as in does one get hired on as a permanent employee or is it more or less contract work? If contract then how long...week, two weeks, a month, six months, etc? How do you get paid; weekly, biweekly or end of contract? What’s the best way to find employment? What equipment is provided vs what you provide? Are wranglers provided 3 hots and a cot or is that on you to source and cook? With you having been in the industry for a few years, what’s your opinion of the younger generation’s work ethic vs when you started? Is a totally badass mustache a requirement? (Maybe some video ideas if you’re running low). I guess lastly, for now, as a fellow cigar smoker, what’s your daily "go to"?

I’ll try and answer a couple of your questions here. Wrangling and Packing is seasonal work. You’re usually hired for the season, but as an employee, not a contractor. I don’t know about unemployment. Never tried. I just went and found another job. Some jobs include room and board, some just room. Mostly everything is provided to do the job except your personal tack and gear. Mustache is optional and the Partagas Black Label Gigante is my favorite go-to daily cigar. I hope this helps. - Dewayne
