Dude I've never been to Montana or Alberta or anywhere west but I would never go hiking without a weapon , wild animals are generally friendly and I've never had a problem with wild animals and I don't hunt , I think hunting should be banned , I think people who sport hunt are chickenshit , but if I'm hiking in some remote mountain I would probably take a weapon , wild animals are unpredictable although wildlife is generally friendly

Grandpa cut into it, and G. Louie thought that was quite the thing! 😁 My Grandpa grew up in that beautiful country--left home 🏡 at 14 and became a sheep 🐑 herder.

I have known John for 20+ years, he is a character. Great guy. When he was in his 80's he had a Bull that started giving him issues and getting violent, and he got it into the pen, got a couple of ropes on it, and got it stuffed into a trailer and took it to billings all by himself.

[@Madd642003]

Love hearing stories like this. Thank you

[@daleoffutt8271]

One of your best episodes. The words of wisdom we can get from a 95 year old is priceless.

John Hoiland, a legend. Only a few minutes into this, but appreciate all the videos you put out - pure quality. Was hoping you’d meet up with him, watched a documentary on him a year or so ago. Very interesting story.

[@chrisc5726]

Thank you Peter. Wished you had hugged him at then. Hope you did off camera. Gave me the impression he was expecting a hug. What a treat. Watched the whole video. Always been fascinated by old old people’s stories since I was a kid back where I immigrated from.

[@cherylbfrey5936]

This story is sensational. What you can learn from these Elders, we should all pay attention to these wise souls. They have MUCH WISDOM to share, if people will chat and listen. Thank you Peter, this is an awesome video. People like John have “wholesome lives”. Look what we’ve learned from him in this story. I’m sure there is much much more. Thank you John for sharing a wonderful part of your life!!❤️❤️

22:10 is definitely a "King of the World Moment" EPIC MAN!

[@fordfjord2602]

was at a party last night talking about soft white underbelly with a friend and then your channel came up naturally. Love your content brother, keep up the wholesome knowledge seeking!

[@marionlesage4794]

This is the third documentary of yours I’ve watched, and I’m so impressed. As a child I remember meeting people like these whose stories you are sharing. People were so gracious and kind to each other, and took the time to know and help their neighbors. Social interaction is becoming a lost art. I’m subscribing and look forward to watching more of your productions.

[@kennyrester1032]

Brother I really enjoyed this one. It was great listening to this 95-year-old beautiful man's history. You can't help but love this old guy. I would love to see him live many more years. Thanks for sharing that.

[@8088I]

95 years-old and sharp as a tack. A great Soul and model Human. Thank you, Sir, for your example!

[@yochevedbrachasimon4979]

I really loved this. He is a national treasure! It seems each generation moves further from the land, and look at the world now! The way he moved reminded me of my 95 year old dad who I miss everyday at some point. This was beautiful. Thanks Peter-

[@kristiecox7350]

Awe, sweet man. I’ll bet you could talk to him every day and get great stories. Very important to have him documented! ❤️❤️ I want to visit him!!! Eeek

[@lenoardcoetzee9538]

My utmost respect and admiration for this salt of the earth gentleman. God bless America. Thank you Peter. Regards from my farm in South Africa. 🙏👌

[@cheriekreusel9453]

95 years old equates to somewhere between 34 thousand to 35 thousand days. Thank you for sharing one of them with us John. Wonderful video Peter, peace

You should come to Oklahoma. I have never met so many 90+ yo people in their right minds… they have good stories to. My grandpa had an old red international. It was so rusty you could barely make out it was red.

[@phornthip1991]

My Father was born in the same Year, but he had to join WWII after he finished middle school with 16 in 1943. He was for about 2 years in the War against Russia. 1 Month after the War ended, he went 18. He had physically no scratch, but was mentally destroyed. He got with 56 his first heart attack and with 58 the second and died. I wish this old man a good health, that he can getting 100 in good condition. Greatings from Germany

[@sylp2059]

Thank you. This was your best episode ever. Life is so simple it just doesn’t have to be complicated. The best part is when he said he’d like to see another sunrise and sunset.

[@FearlessLeader]

Wow this man is the same age my grandfather would’ve been. It’s amazing to see someone from his generation living a different life. It’s just amazing to show how different life has always been for different people in different places. I mean with modern technology I’m watching a man that lived for over 8 decades at the same time as my own grandfather who never would have seen him. Amazing and rather humbling, thank you.

[@mikeyantis]

I had the pleasure of meeting quite a few men and women cow pokes of a similar age with my grandparents at their hand-built cabin on their ranch in Eastern Idaho. We were all of Norwegian descent. The work ethic was incredible. I'm blessed to have had such strong mentors.

[@michaelhoggard591]

This was an outstanding interview!

[@emmagalbraith7763]

Peter, the research you do to find these amazing people is second to none 👏. As someone not American I’m fascinated by these real stories. Coming from Ireland I feel a connection to these farming ranchers 🐮🐎. I will cherish this series and this episode, we should all listen to our elders stories such a life and what an outlook he still has. Bravo

[@tc8065]

"OH I'd still like to see if the sun comes up in the morning and sets in the evening" I appreciate this man! simple and consistent seems to be the recipe... keep it going!

[@agcala9619]

He is an inspiration. Too bad about his cows but he survived. Beautiful show.

[@thomashellenes4306]

You become very humble when you meet people like him. As a Norwegian, it was exciting to hear that his roots come from Norway 🇧🇻😊 Fantastic person 🤗 Thank you for making such videos 🤝

[@kristerusken7908]

Recommend to see John the last Norwegian cowboy

[@thomashellenes4306]

@@kristerusken7908 Thanks for the tip. It's on NRK now 😊👍👍

[@hannahthehomesteader]

As someone who owns a home in a nearby rural area to him, I am chuckling at his assessment that the homes are all eyesores 😅 What an amazing man. He's still so sharp.

[@N0N4M30]

His humor is the best honestly 😂

[@Trace9598]

I think alot or his longevity is he keeps active and moves around working in his ranch and not sitting around all day. He also has a positive attitude and has friendship with his neighbors. I hope he stays healthy and makes it to 100 and over. What a nice gentlemen.

[@dinebonte4014]

Thank you for interviewing this wonderful elderly Gentleman! John Holland is a treasure!

[@debradockler116]

Thank you again for sharing this with everyone a lot to learn from our elders 👍👌✌🏻🎇😊
