Nutnfancy On Parenting [BuggetNuster too]

[@AmericanArmsChannel]

I love vids like this Nutn'! I am 1 month shy of 19, and I can tell you that I do believe that because of the way I was raised, I am better prepared than many almost twice my age. My father tought me from the age of 6 to hunt, fish, shoot, build fire, camp, keep safety in mind, work hard and how to treat others (and in some ways, how not to act). My point is that my father, you and all the dads like you are what we as children truly need. So thank you to you and all the other dads who do this.

[@07zx14White]

One of your best videos dude. Touching in some very very important topics and nailing them directly on the head. You're doing it man and you're doing it right. Thanks for putting these videos out there for everyone to see.

[@keesgorter882]

I'm 19, I have been watching your vids since '08, i play a good amount of video games and I'm in the dutch military (you partially inspired me) things don't have the same effect on every person

[@D13fledermause]

I won't say that I've really ever roughed it, but I have been taught that I can reap the fruits of my labor, and that hard work pays off. Working on my truck for a whole summer sanding and painting taught me a lot about the benefits of a good work ethic and devotion. Nutn, your parenting videos will be a GREAT resource to me in the coming years when I have children of my own.

[@0megaseeker]

This is why I love your vids! I have been a coach for over 15 years, I have seen so many kids who are not prepared because of poor parenting! Because of what I have seen over the years I teach my children the finer things of life!!

[@vikeskie]

Im 12 and i already have my own AR-15 (Dad bought it with my money). I got my first .22 when i was 6 and i love the shooting sports. Fortunately i live in Oklahoma where you can do that (And have the parents that are great to). I love your videos nutnfancy. I would appreciate it a lot if you read this. Bye- Jake

[@binos8843]

Dude you are lucky, my parents wouldn't do that well actually the government won't they would be cool with shooting and like that i am doing it but my Government doesn't.

[@binos8843]

***** Ive never heard of that, generally Gun Shops are open to that kinda thing and i haven't ever heard the ATF going around and prosecuting people, but The ATF are assholes and probably do it from time to time.

[@flyingwondercat739]

***** That's not a straw purchase, that's a gift.

[@flyingwondercat739]

***** His dad made him save up for it as a parenting lesson. I don't consider that a straw purchase since his dad legally has to own the gun.

[@flyingwondercat739]

***** Since kids don't have true property rights, you would have a hard time convicting the adult/child of a straw purchase.

[@qwertyuiop4halo]

I want to see the "Actual" videos from this whole trip, every second of footage. To me the adventures that are just BuggetNuster and and Nutnfancy are the best wilderness trip videos on this channel. They are so funny but yet serious at times too. It's great. Keep it up Nutn!!!

[@ar15f117]

This is the best video that you have ever done. It exemplifies the great traditional principles and value system that once made our country so great. The subject matter speaks for itself. Well done!

[@targetbuttmonkey]

Love vids like this. Defines who you are, and who your audience is by extension. Thanks for making and posting this - really enjoyed it.

[@jonathanknight89]

Nutn...Your field videos are my favorite part of you channel! Keep up the good work with it. The cooking, wilderness shooting, and just talking, are great to watch.

[@woadyntheboyz]

Nice display of good friendship with important discussion. I enjoy times like these with my good friends. Thanks for sharing.

[@dsistre]

Best video I've ever seen on KZbin. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this subject. Raising two small ones in Alabama, I fight everyday to prevent the sheltering arm of a worrying parent.

[@RaymondJay]

Just came back from a 6 mile snowshoe hike. Beautiful in the woods after a snow.

[@gbubble79]

ty, nutn, for continuing to inspire me to live life and be a good parent by imparting to my children the knowledge they need to build their skill-sets. they will be better prepared for society partly because of you. be proud, bro, be proud.

[@BakerVidz]

I have been blessed to use Video Games as a "rainy day boredom killer" and to have passed the skill acquiring mindset to my little brother and cousins. Now at 26 and my brother and cousins getting to be 20, we have shared some awesome times. Climbing, hiking, learning black smithing. Trying survival trips with knives we made. Awesome stories and awesome times outside of video games.

[@afleetcommand]

Raised 4 boys and two girls. Video games were a non stop battle. We moved to a farm, then hard work, Horses for the girls and motorsports for the boys helped. But how many can do that? Now we have a 11yr Airforce vet, a 7yr Navy vet. A National champion (college level), One college student with 4yrs of NCAA division one sports and two independent young men busting their ass to build families. Advise? You can't push a string. Find what comes from their hearts and support it unconditionally.

[@KeliBaB]

Oh boy this was uploaded on my son's birthday. You guys are right on everything you said. Thank you for posting this.

[@flyhigh8313x]

One of my favorite type of videos that you make. I am happy that so far my wife and I are on the same page and don't disagree on how to raise the kids.

[@nichloasccook]

im digging these videos with you and bugget. happy to say that i am spending my spring break on a camping trip that i set up with my dad.

[@collinhenry9779]

22 years old and love the outdoors and would give anything to be out in the dessert roughing it. Our generation isn't completely hopeless, there are a few of us left. Me and buddy plan on minimalist camping this summer.

[@drzmanproject]

Nutn, you and Bugget set a perfect tone. Most fathers of our generation wrestle with these issues. I took Beachhead to hear Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman recently, and he hit video games pretty hard. When his grandbabies were born, he gave $1,000 for college for each year the parents avoided TV exposure for the grandkids! He agreed to let me record a quick message to Sheepdogs, but if you ever get the chance, we would LOVE it if you interviewed him!

[@jmdavis984]

I really hope I can give my three sons the experiences my parents afforded me. We lived out in nowhere, with the nearest neighbor a mile away. My brother and I had free reign of the local fields, pastures, and creeks. Sure, we got hurt sometimes, but I will ALWAYS have those memories. Finding a house in a location like that is so much more difficult now than it was 20 years ago, but that's my goal.

[@ratride1]

I was waiting for you to bring out a level. Good ramble. We have surrounded our society with the thought that life is predictable and safe. When in reality it's not safe and there is no guaranty.

[@D13fledermause]

I've seen a lot of this in my sister's upbringing, she's older than me and was babied and is now 21 in college, living off of my father's monetary teat and continually tells me she's "scared" of the responsibilities she's being given. It's sad to see, she's been completely screwed over big time.

[@andrewy24]

As a loyal viewer since very early in the TNP ('08), I love the vids that you do with Bugget. You two never fail to entertain

[@scottandrea10]

Nobody is perfect my friend,just remember that. Just be true to yourself,treat people the way you'd like to be treated and try to live life to the full. There will always be idiots around but as long as you are true to yourself then you are on your way!! Am glad you are coming out of your shell and i hope you get to live life to the full. You wrote a good,honest post there,that proves the type of person you are or can be!! Good luck with everything in the future and all the best from me!!

[@ClubOC]

As a father, these vids are excellent to the heart reminders and parenting aids. Thank you.

[@litewatefitr]

totally one of the best, if not most insightful videos i've seen on KZbin in quite a while. keep up the good work, hoorah!

[@Sorryunomore]

Great video. Love this truck camping series. Nice to see BuggetNuster again.

[@clangerbasher]

This reminds me of an argument we had at my old cadet unit. Some of the staff wanted us to waste money on new computers for the units for the kids to use. That they didn't get my argument that kids (and their parents expect them to) come here to do stuff. Real stuff. Sail. Shoot. Real stuff. That they didn't get what I was saying spoke volumes about their quality as youth leaders. After I left they spent thousands on new computers. The unit hasn't been on one camp since the purchase.

[@tech_gear]

Awesome philo video Nutn! Nothing better than getting a healthy dose of wholesome life principles to add to the raising of my family. Appreciate the hard work and dedication you and others put into TNP. Thank you.

[@toddjohnsonAdventures]

Well said video. I have this "discussion" with my wife, but she never understands since we were raised completely different. I was raised in rural Iowa and she was raised in sunny California. It's tough though since we're raising or kids in a suburb of Dallas. My boys can't live like I did. The comment about not letting your kids walk to school alone is dead on. With all the crazies or there I am afraid for them. Sometimes I feel I am failing as a parent, but I keep trying to prepare them

[@Hill9x19]

Thank you Nutn, I agree 100%. Its refreshing to know there are still parents teaching common sense, I fear too many simply don't.

[@caical]

You are right on the money about being able to take care of yourself and your loved ones. I grew up in Oklahoma and by age 10 I was allowed to go hunting by myself with my 22 and could bring home food. I was a Boy Scout and a Explorer Scout and love to camp and learned many skills. I am 70 now and brushing up on all those skills again! Stay Strong!

[@stupidasso77]

I grew up on a cattle ranch in Georgia. I went to school with kids who lived in a nearbye town. I never thought of my way of life as abnormal for many years. I got my first rifle when I was 7 and it was almost never out of reach. I learned about life, death, hard work, love, hate, and integrity while living the country life. I was faced with important deciscions sometimes and lots of resonsibility. I used to walk fence rowe for people and help tend cattle.

[@garrattrich]

Great video. As a man in my 20's the wisdom expressed is helpful for developing a value system for when I have my own family. It also brings up the idea of catching ones self falling into lazy patterns. When that happens it is time to get outdoors and depussify yourself. Thanks nutnfancy.

[@qwertyuiop4halo]

It says at the begininng in the top of the video that they (well Nutn was at least) were leveling out a place to put the tent.

[@1Warzone1]

I haven't had cable in 2 yr. And I can't watch it at all now

[@2ndefender]

Great video, Nutn. Parents have an obligation to their children to raise them correctly. Balance and moderation are key. I'll never forget childhood camping trips with my dad.

[@ROTPS138]

Glad I'm not alone on these issues. Thanks for always putting it in such a straightforward simple manner. Thanks Nutn.

[@Ballisticbob517]

I wish I had more time to do more backcountry stuff. I do outdoor sports and exercise but it's not the same as going out in the desert or woods!

[@theonlyari]

Man, what a great post. You have eloquently described the life I am trying to lead.

[@matarilelirelon4235]

My parents were very good to us and my mother was (and still is) very protective to us as well. I love that about her but I knew I had to do something if I wanted to excel in life. I joined the service in 1987 just so I could get some stress under my belt (infantry) and learn about life and that has been the best thing i have done. Awesome video Nutn!!

[@transooka]

You're one step ahead buddy, realising your faults and admitting to them is a truly diminishing but highly desirable trait. . . Don't worry about your time lost, you sound like a intelligent and altogether compassionate young man, and am sure you are going to amplify those positive traits you know you have and shine them on the others. . . All the best. . .

[@0bscura]

My daughter and wife asked today when we were going camping again. Gotta get out there before the weather warms up.

[@Desertrunv]

Great video content. Like the discussion. What jackets are the two of you wearing.

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

the point you made about getn em started young and when they see a firearm, no matter which, they treat it as you explained which is key because if the kid isn't focused on what you have taught them, that's when accidents happen!! my little girl is 4 and she knows what to do and not to!! i grew up with them too. very good video. i think a lot of people need too hear these points whether they agree or not!! keep up the great work!! good man NUTN!

[@davidhunt6152]

I say we need a man like Nutn for Secretary of Education. Life lessons like these would do wonders for our kids, families, and nation. When you look at the moral climate of our nation, it's every bit as cold as where y'all are. Keep putting out the vids.

[@DBproductionsBadJuicy]

Video games are what put me at a high school reading level in 6th grade, back when you had to read most games. And they still help with vocabulary today. They are what kept me away from drugs and stupid situations. with proper parenting, your child should be able to play games, go hiking, or even go partying, yet still have the understanding of being responsible and knowing whats right and wrong.

[@KnivesFAST]

This is what I do when Nutn takes a week break.....watch (awesome) older vids I missed.

[@AlwayzPr0]

You are in luck, the new vids are now up.

[@babagadoush1]

What a great video. So true. It was like I was there talking with a buddy about our kiddos. Very cool.

[@Phauxtoe]

"Kids these days..." Every adult says that about the Subsequent generation.

[@tundra1able]

Love these type of videos Nutn! Could watch them everyday.

[@MrEasytarget925]

Just have to day Nutn, that was a great video on advice. I found myself nodding and agreeing with you, every time you made a point, all while holding my five month old son, putting him to sleep. I started teaching my daughter around eighteen months to respect firearms, now at three she doesn't think twice when she sees them. She just says o it's daddy's guns. I'm proud to say she has fired her first fun a marlin .22 lever action and enjoys every time we go out. Thank you again

[@rroades]

Variation on a theme - the parents are involved. The thought was kids, left to their own devices, without parental involvement (or another important adult) often are influenced by a lot of things. Video games are the modern, wide-spread activity/hobby for many kids. For kids 30 years ago, it was TV. 5000 years ago, a story/parable was cut into stone saying (basically), "Stop wasting your life on the street corner with your friends, doing nothing and just spending your days without purpose."

[@Resurrection06]

current parenting is the reason why i loved growing up abroad as a military brat. nothing but places to see and new cultures to experience. while i didn't grow up with great gun mindset and hardship i believe i am more understanding of what is going on in the world

[@bobclavi]

have you ever made a video of what it was like to fly? not the act of being in the are but controlling yourself in flight. I'm really curious.

[@jameschrisdavis]

Another skill I think most kids are without, is the ability to learn or to teach themselves. My father was always teaching me, but at times he made me figure it out on my own. That is such an invaluable skill that most adults do not have.

[@lmomechtech7709]

Nice video with you both. Very important ideas and statements made about times past and present generation. My hat is off to ya both!

[@Technobabblist]

This was spot on, anything can become an addiction if "consumed" too much. Video games, sports, guns, drugs, etc. There needs to be a balance in life. Refusing the allow children to play video games is also a bad thing, our nation is moving more and more towards a service based economy, children need to know how to use electronic devices or they will fail to succeed.

[@HitmanFortyFive1911]

I lived in Spokane during the ice Storm! Our community was in a uproar! People became savage and tribal, while at our house we had plenty of candles, wool blankets and canned food. It was actually kind of fun for the prepared, others not so much!

[@giantbryant55]

It just tears me up inside knowing that my dad and I hate each other.Your boys are lucky they have a father like you Nutn. And you are lucky they don't take you for granted. Thanks for the video and thanks for the advice. Perhaps someday, if I choose to have children, I can be as good of a father as you (as opposed to being like my own father).

[@OpaKnows]

Nutn, I thought for a second that was a tan truck with a light dusting of snow on it. That's a lot of dirt. I remember having some conversations like this about 25 years ago with an older guy or 2 about parenting. Glad I did. Now I'm having those talks with my son-in-law and daughters. Credit goes to my wife for always maintaining a great communication level between us & our kids (comes natural to her). I like these type of videos. Nuggets of goodness (pun not intended).

[@Yomom12388]

that A10 flying in is awesome

[@07zx14White]

Also glad to hear Bugget speak from deep inside. You guys are doing a great thing by speaking realities to all.

[@CamaroTech25]

One thing that I had to contend with was distance. I lived out in the country and I spent my time playing games because there was no one else to play with, and you could only explore so much space before you saw everything, or it was just too cold or too hot. I don't mean mild hot, I mean highs upward to 106 and lows as far as -2 or so in the winter with windchills as low as -20. My kids are the same way, when it's nice outside we go outside and do things, when it's miserable we stay in.

[@WildMedGuru1]

Anytime Bugget make it back to a video you know its worth watching. Great work as usual

[@abakja1]

I had to learn by example by parents as they were to busy working to support the family. Self realization came jn the late 20's but was self reliant and dependent in my teens already . Learning and teaching is a life process that continues on and on and hope to pass it down to my 18mos old twin daughters.

[@danbaldwin2974]

good thoughts I agree alot with you. my kids are grown ut we did some of the outdoor things and balance, Not as much tech as today.,. are you talking to FPI dude?

[@Signavy]

Sweet lookin' jacket dude! What type is it? Thanks again for the video.

[@johnneblett]

Nutnfancy - love your parenting video. I just finished a parenting book that incorporates a lot of what you talked about. I would love to send you a copy. Let you know how I can...

[@orcaluv]

Bugget!!! Great to hear from him from time to time. Great candid discussion between you guys.

[@GSRGOPEDRIDER247]

thanks nutnfancy for making these videos, i'm 19 and you got me interested in knives and guns many years ago before i could even buy a gun. i love your videos, and the project. kids now days aren't like they use to be. my video games collect dust, i'd much rather be doing something outdoors although i feel nobody else enjoys the outdoors, shooting, hiking, mountain biking and such anymore. i enjoy working too, and i'll work for free just to help people out around their property, its enjoyable.

[@droid1342]

I've got a friend, Kenny, who I could totally envision tactical camping/survival trips with. Having a friend like buggit to chill with is worth its weight in gold. Oh, and thanks for the continued parenting tips, I'm a single dad raising my, now twelve year old daughter...I too could leave my guns out and not worry about her goofing off with them....thanks in part to TNP

[@ADKwarriors]

Excellent video. Once again its packed with benificial information and i agree with your points 110%. Thanks again.

[@joeleistikow6759]

Love it. Hard work is the essence to true success. Thanks for posting

[@johnh1162]

Awesome vid! I was talking to a buddy of mine about this very subject at dinner tonight. Scarily similar conversation.

[@bradtravis9321]

Good video. I grew up somewhat in the middle of these two ideas. I do play video games frequently, as well I'm on the computer often. Even turned this into a profession. But I can still make a camp and hike miles in. I can butcher game, hunt, handle guns and knives. You nailed it when you said moderation.

[@banddude121]

I believe that you can use video games to learn things. I played Forza 3 and 4 for so long that I no longer have to think about correcting oversteer. The first time I drove in the rain, I floored it when I was going to turn to give these kids on the corner a nice exhaust note. The rear end started sliding and I corrected it without thinking about it.

[@TheStabbyCyclist]

Another great vid Nutn. I sleep better at night knowing that there are good people like you out there raising their kids right. I only hope someday I can do the same.

[@bufalo42000]

I'm 26, I like video games but, I like going out doing stuff more. Hiking, fishing, shooting, camping, baseball, football, skateboarding, that's what I did most of the time when I was a "kid." I do realize that I am still "a kid," to most people. Maybe it was just me but, I loved getting out of my house to go do something, still do. I rarely sat around and played video games for very long when I was a kid and its sad to think for a lot of kids now a days, that's what they do...

[@Mind_Funeral]

I'm about to turn 21 years old and I grew up in the generation you speak about. On the topic of videogames: When I first started playing videogames like Gameboy and Super Nintendo, gaming was different. In my neighborhood there were about 5 or 6 other boys and we played until the sun went down; only then the video games were played. I got into the whole WoW phase for a few years and since starting college my lifestyle has digressed back to outdoorsy roots. I can't even think of playing Wow.

[@fatface5454]

As an expecting father, I can honestly say this vid was immensely helpful. Also, the jabs you take at each-other are hilarious!! Very much like my own friends.

[@Warsign01]

My friends an I have had very similar discussions. Even in the rural area where I live there are few people who hunt or do any type of outdoor adventures. We have whole generations with no skill sets that would allow them to survive without a Kroger or Walmart. I fear for our country.

[@Nitblazer]

Nutn, i've got a 20 month old girl and another wee one on the way. I've been having the same thoughts and fears about how to not screw them up. We've got to realize we're raising adults, not children. Thanks for this video.

[@andyshsu]

MORE VIDEOS ON PARENTING AND FAMILY! PLEASE SHARE MORE ON THIS TOPIC!!!

[@7heAteles]

Some great points in this video from the both of you. Keep cranking out good work.

[@avgjoepatriot9622]

That's funny, I just watched "high skies" and I was wondering what was going on with BuggetNuster. Glad to see he's doing well.

[@alpah342]

Awesome video like normal.... Spokane born and raised... I remember ice storm and thinking as a kid it was awesome...but there are people like you said who can't live without... It's sad ... But it's the world we live in now... Being in the Air Force too made me realize that we have it soo easy and it makes you appreciate the simple things in life. Keep up the good work. Stay safe

[@Forsaken0u812]

I honestly cant wait till the next episode. I have been missing the camping trips of nutnfancy.

[@Hill9x19]

Bugget brings up a good point. Alot of people think that because food, water and food were available today that it will be available tomorrow.

[@Delta7525]

My dad is an awesome, patient man that taught me a lot of important values. But he has never been an outdoorsman. I grew up in a home and community that simply had no interest in outdoorsmanship. Online gaming is where I found a place and acceptance, where people value me. I still play because that's where I'm loved. A regular outdoor lifestyle is too hard to do alone. But since I was 14 Nutn has been there fostering my interest in craftsmanship, marksmanship and manhood from states away.

[@thegogetter222]

Great vid guys! What are those jackets you are wearing? The owl on my shed was asking... thanks!

[@Solanum20]

Isn't that the great thing though? Those who do not see a problem or have no will to change their actions are in trouble. Even though you grew up with protectionist parents, you set your mind toward working towards your goals. I think this is great proof that if we have bad habits, bad parents, or even a bad household environment; in the end our actions are what matter and the rest is only a temporary state that we can rise above. I am also 21 and I have a lot to learn as well. -Solanum20

[@lukem7952]

having come from America to live in a state where self defense is not only discouraged but criminalized, i can say i feel your pain brother. Freedom is truly precious when you have lived without it.

[@bennyblack9321]

I would totally travel south to do some videos with you...Been backpacking and shooting my whole life, and I love the stuff you do. Been a follower since 2008 but only just decided to get a youtube channel. I remember the first time you showed your face, it was almost like an unveiling, hahaha. Keep up the awesome work!

[@DJPrepper]

im 15 and i dont play video games much at all only when im with friends. i love hiking and just going in the woods and work on my skills

[@SteelyFisher]

Glad to see you both had time to get together, always enjoyable when you do. Touched on some good points and I'm a person who didn't have some of the things you talked about but after meeting my wifes family and learning how to take care of my needs as we raised our daughters they now know how to get by. It's funny watching them with their boyfriends who think they're tough and macho and the girls are showing them how to build shelter and fires, and even properly shoot and handle firarms.

[@NoahCotterill]

Video games were an addiction for me as a teenager. I barely graduated high school (I thank my willing teachers for helping me). Now that I'm an adult, I understand the need for hard work, thankfully.

[@TheRunescapefreak99]

my mom expects the house to be spotless even her and my sisters room.. i cleaned most of the house on thursday and she said it was minimum work???? she also gets me in trouble for a whole week for not letting the dog out????!?!? really my mom is too hard on me. also she makes me clean the whole house before i go to my dads or to go hangout with a friend
