North Carolina Man Has Lived on the Same Farm for 83 Years: Waynnie Takes Us On a Tour on His Farm!!

[@clintjohnson7023]

I grew up in Arkansas the same way this man has lived his while life. I miss it. I've spent my whole adult life saving to get back to living this way. I purchased my farm 2 years ago and I'm in process of getting it ready to build my house on.

[@SueCrane-bi8ui]

Waynnie’s such a gentle sole. Loved seeing all his donkeys. Another great video John

[@marcykerr6911]

Hi John, Oh i love this special video of Waynnie, he is so gentle with his donkeys , i feel so bad that he can't licate the youngest one who he said was about 10 months old. I really had to listen closely to what Waynnie said , it was hard to understand certain things he said. Glad he showed you the old spring , and the streaming rock area , the trickling of the water was soothing . I am so impressed how fit Waynnie is , and how he walks all over the woods and pasture. Such an incredible precious time with Waynnie, i would have cried leaving the area. I love how Waynnie showed you so many areas , and explained things to you. He was so concerned with your safety, love how he held the fence down while you stepped over . And how he kept saying, "Be careful , don't fall now " Glad you have these videos as treasured memories. How beautiful Mill creek is . The running water is so soothing . Thank God the creek is preserved. Glad he has several springs on his land. Beautiful country , Thank you for showing us all the areas John. Appreciate your time with Waynnie . ❤

[@roz57]

Yes, the sound of the water was soothing.

[@frankiefreedom58]

[@believergurl5423]

Thank you I loved going on this beautiful adventure with you. Love the sound of the leaves. Reminds me of sweet memories.

[@debramcdowell8083]

Such a great video! I love how Waynnie is always looking out for you. My dad was like that. Most of the stuff Waynnie talked about was a little before my time, but my Mom is about Waynnie's age and she has told me many stories about life in those days

[@cheryldowner4834]

I know he loves them donkeys. They love him too!❤❤ . I noticed he's not even winded 😂 what a blessing he is to all us,I here you,I'd have to stop and rest.😂😂❤❤.bless you for showing this very interesting story...

[@roz57]

Wayne said when you get old you like to put your hands on thangs. He is so right.

[@ScottMorton-tg1wx]

Was it hard to keep up with waynnie he’s a machine 😊

[@franzgeil422]

Awesome episode. Beautiful piece of land. There's a man who looks like he knows every square inch of it and with just as many stories to tell.

[@EuleneWages]

Absolutely one of the best videos you've made.Once that generation is gone, that way of life and the history they have to tell will be gone.👍🏼👏🏼💯🙏🏼✨️✨️

[@sharonchiles4641]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

[@fayewilson1892]

I wish I lived in a place like this..love the springs and y'all made me tired watching y'all doing all that walking😂(Hope he finds his donkey🙏)

[@lorrigraboske7406]

Protect this man at all cost! I love him and I hope he finds his donkey. 🥺❤

[@peggymiller8684]

This was the best Waynee yet. My granny lived that life as a child.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Always great seeing Mr. Waynie.

[@Kerryday11]

[@walterperry4565]

Wise elder man

[@FrankensteinLover]

This is my kind of living out in nature with pretty scenery, his donkeys are beautifullll as well. Animals and Nature are good for the Soul. Great video and Waynnie is a Treasure for sure.

[@MargaretHagenow-eu7gf]

Thanks for taking us through the woods along the creek. I am 85 years old and can’t do any of the hiking anymore and really enjoyed the hike with you. Thanks again

[@allysonmurray1731]

Proof his lifestyle is a very healthy choice. God bless him. He's concerned about his missing 10 mo donkey. Hope he finds him. Wow, pretty property! if he's 85 , he was born in 1939. It's amazing he can tromp all around those woods and not even break a sweat, puts this 63yo to shame....lol.

[@todayisit3]

Nothing like a long walk in the woods. Love your videos of Waynie.

[@TinyLuvsBostons]

Please go to Erwin, TN when you’re able. They need more Search and Rescue/ Recovery folks there. They need more cadaver dogs to help locate 500 missing people who likely perished. Abba God, Rest their souls. 🙏🏼

[@theappalachianchannel]

I made a video about Erwin last week. I Didn’t hear noone say anything about anybody being missing.

[@TinyLuvsBostons]

@@theappalachianchannel I remember now. The wonderful gentleman that opened his business to be used as a place to house donations. This may have been closer to Greenville. A man from Houston, Tx ( I’m in Texas as well, btw ) with a channel called Real Estate Mindset traveled to TN and posted the interview on his channel. I will copy & paste information in his video description.

[@TinyLuvsBostons]

I pasted information into a comment, but I guess it didn’t pass the YT filter

[@sonyagraske376]

​​@@theappalachianchannelthere are. But I hear and see they have what they need. Alotof search and rescue being done. Well search.... idk about the recovery.😢

[@sonyagraske376]

​@@TinyLuvsBostonsthat video was something else.😢

[@annettecleveland49]

I love this ❤😂

[@jlynn7148]

Loved this reliving my entire childhood we were raised the same way so many memories! Ky ❤

[@ScottMorton-tg1wx]

Thanks for the fantastic videos.I would say it would take years to learn what waynnie knows.you can tell he is a very kind man cause the animals stay with him and also they eat good ❤😊

[@rogercarlson3415]

Thanks John for taking the time you spent with Mr Waynnie! I grew up on a Dairy farm in upstate New York similar history , The spring and storing the milk cans and all. we had hill land and the big loads of hay would push the tractors down the hill , you had to be very carful to not have an accident !

[@sharonchiles4641]

I loved his story. Show more videos of him

[@JeffreyLee63]

Thats a real nice man i love the stories the little donkey is really worrying him that he dont know where he's at, I hope ya find him seems like it would be braying for his mother

[@lizbundick6334]

Loving these videos! Blessed!

[@jherndon2u]

I've grown to love Waynnie like I did Ralph. This older gents remind me of my Granddads. Seemed like life was better as a young'in, we had no worries but I guess Mama and Daddy did, they just kept us from knowing times we're hard. Thanks for letting us tag along John, I felt the leaves crunching under my feet!

[@brianttanner4997]

Just how many miles did Wayne drag you up and down those hills that was a great walk

[@jocook174]

Every day I look forward to seeing your videos, they are so interesting and educational. I love the history of the people and their stories. So glad you’re showing the history of these people.

[@stephaniemccoy6562]

Awe..... I hate that hes missing his little donkey... 😢 Being that little theres no telling... Hopefully yall can get the word out and ppl can be on the look out. Praying for the little dude

[@EuleneWages]

[@jimbeis5375]

Well John I’m so glad Waynie is not pushing you to hard in the hills!!! I think he’s like the energizer bunny!!! Love watching him and his stories

[@loubelle385]

I love the videos with Waynie ! Such a nice man. Blessings to you, Waynie, and Angel‼️🙏✝️

[@LindaScales-hr5br]

It is so good to see my friend Wayne is still plugging away at something. It seems he is full of surprizes,but i am not surprized because is not one to be still. It does look like he can be defined as a jack of all trades indeed. I can only marvel at the way he can get around like a teenager. All i can say is, "keep going team Wayne", i love it. Great video John Ward.🙏❤️🙂

[@Cynthia-s4h]

Wayne does move like a young man so fit😊 he doesn't get breathless and keeps talking while the younger man is heavy breathing 😊 amazing ❤

[@Victoria-z8l6l]

I really enjoyed this!! 💯 I hope you will ask him to tell some childhood stories.

When is the next episode of this John

[@jheimann391]

I’m pretty sure Waynie would’ve got along with Ralph really well!

[@BrLambert]

Love his energy and the lay of his land.

[@DaveThompson-q8y]

what a beautiful glimpse into the life of Waynnie and his farm! it’s amazing to see how much history and dedication can reside in one place. however, i can’t help but wonder if holding onto the same land for so long is always a good thing. aren’t there benefits to exploring new opportunities and experiences? sometimes change can lead to even greater growth. just a thought!
