Done ( Subscribed to Dat Louisiana Life). Thanks for a very interesting Saturday morning beginning. I remember seeing skinned neutra for sale piled high at the Lexington Market in Baltimore (Which has been going strong since the 1700s), and not knowing what they were. The neutra booth was not far from the Faidley's crab cake booth, which is where I was going to buy jumbo lump crab cakes from old Mrs. Faidley and family. Having no idea what neutra were - whole, stretched long and thin with huge teeth like a skinned beaver, they looked like giant rats or dead cats or raccoons - I had no idea what they were. When I got back home to Hampden in Baltimore and asked my former beau, Barry, what a neutra was, he said, "Giant rats, and people eat them." He said that he had eaten neutra, but wouldn't again. I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Tara and family"s life, and hearing about Cajun tradition. It surprised me to hear how the United States tried to eradicate the Cajun culture by disallowing the language to be spoken in school.

I've lived all over the country. From Alaska to Georgia, California to New York. Big cities to small rural towns. It's not what people that have never been here think. There are a lot of misconceptions. Big cities are sick now, but there's so much more to the country though than NYC and LA. You couldn't pay me to visit NYC right now. Edit - Now I live in near a small town in southwest Colorado, with 1000 people and 1 stop light. Probably the best area of the country I've ever lived. Unfortunately, politicians 6 hours away in Denver are now trying to destroy us along with the Front Range cities

And Peters videos are 10x more entertaining at the soul of the video.. It's not just mind-numbing entertainment, its real genuine connection that touches your heart and soul. What does that say about the mainstream media? Peter tells the stories of the individual. He's not biased, he gives those individuals an uncensored platform to tell their true story, and he isn't putting people into a "box" or a "group". The story is raw and its real. It's not manipulated to portray things in a certain way, it just follows the flow of the reality of the people that the videos feature.

Hi Carlis! We worked together many years ago at a Air Products site. You are a millwright as I remember. I was a young Ironworker at the time and I enjoyed working you. I remember asking you if you knew how to weld and you told me, "Young man, I can weld so good that I can weld snot to ashes!" 😂 You always made me laugh and I thought very highly of you, still do. It's good to see you on here still alive and kicking. God bless you Mr Gaudet

This is what I think of when thinking of Louisiana. it's amazing that you still can live like this in America. A lot of people here in Norway want do live like this, but there's to many rules, laws and restrictions preventing you doing so. To go off-grid here is not easy. Not that it's easy anywhere, but at least you still got that pride abt hunting, gathering and surviving on your own. Without Big-Sam. If more of us lived like this, even a fraction of it, living more in tune with our human nature - being hunters and gatherers, but also farmers. I don't think we wouldn't have as high numbers of mental health problems based around loneliness, depression and anxiety. Awesome vid man!

Back in 73' i lived just outside of Dulac, towards Houma. My house was on stilts above the water. The drop baskets were always full of Crabs, Mud bugs (crawfish) and Catfish's. All from just puuting food scraps in them. Everything was by boat...little market, bars, even the schools...all on barges anchored in the swamp. Hardly ever drove my car unless i went into Morgan City to go to "The Naughty Knight" bar, for some fun. Stayed outta New Orleans & the French Quarter always. Did go to Algeirs tho...cuz it was away from tourists...back then. A good solid life with good families in the bayous. Like she said " they go back many generations. Since the first came."

Cars, trucks, tug boats, crew boats, float planes, amphibian planes (the Blue Goose-"Fantasy Island-Ze Plane, Ze Plane"), and helicopters. I got to eat meals prepared on the Guld Oil Platforms by 4 star world renowned Chefs. I also had Bourbon Street to experience along with my first Muffuletta sandwich. And the people there were the best part. Warm and friendly. It was a short time spent there but with a great deal of living rolled into that brief time period.
