Honestly, out of all of the stories you've covered on Amish and even the Appalachian families, this family seems the most well-adjusted and loved. A good balance of traditional values & hard work, with modern sensibilities and love for their children and one another. A family that *values* each member without guilting you, or being too judgemental of the outside world.

[@cgreen186]

Also he realizes that he really does have more conveniences and help in 2023 than his grandparents great-grandparents did. They couldn't just go down to the grocery store and in purchase all of the items that you can in our today's world. Also couldn't eat a pizza on the way home. He seems to have found the balance between modern and old-time values. Being 79 I was raised on a farm and we had an outhouse for quite a while. And we didn't have all of the grocery stores where we could get just anything we wanted. I have said all my life that being raised on the farm was the most valuable thing that I did in my life because it taught me how to handle rough times as well as good times. I really do like the way that they have found a wonderful balance between maintaining core values from yester-years while using the benefits of living in our today's society.

[@exposinginsanity]

they are not amish...they said LDS and I thought he was very judgmental of others with many statements he brought up about neighbors

[@MoltenMouseMetal]

1) Own the land 2) Have a sustainable income-stream 3) Maintain balance, neither shunning nor blindly endorsing the new social-media model of how to live. Sadly, two of those are under constant threat while the third has diminishing returns on effort vs personal benefit.

[@thehistoadian]

​@@exposinginsanityHe isn't judging, he is just stating his opinion on what makes a better community

[@Ourlittleredfarmhouse]

@@exposinginsanityHe was not judging, he was stating fact. We are 11th generation Mainahs, we have seen our state overrun by folks moving here for the rural farm, lakes, mountains and coastal fishing communities which has driven the prices of real estate through the roof making it nearly unattainable for native folks to purchase real estate here. And the BIGGEST problem we have here in Maine other than the high real estate prices is the fact that people move here to get away from overbearing city and state regulations and over population in their communities, yet instead of leaving that “city” mindset in the communities they left, they bring it with them. Then they get elected to town boards and the state house and institute the same oppressive regulations they fled from. We don’t fault people who want to move here, Maine is beautiful and one of the safest places to raise children, but please leave your politics and oppressive regulations at the state border. We welcome folks here, but please leave us alone, don’t turn our beautiful state into the place you fled from…that’s all we ask…and that’s all he was saying about his community in Idaho.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

We homesteaded for over 20 years. Our goal was to grow our own food, keep organic chickens, be as self-sustainable as possible. The disadvantage is when one gets old it's very hard to maintain this lifestyle unless you have children willing to take over and take care of you as well. We did not have children or other family who were interested or willing.

Mine grew up this way to. Used a hoof pick to chip salt from the block. Made forts out in the sagebrush. Created their own rodeo's with a pallet "chute" and "rode" the leppy calf. Watched calves be born and saw them when they died. It was look for your own entertainment out here. The meme that used to be on FB (maybe it still is, I am not on it anymore) was the one that said "Kids need more tackleboxes and less Xbox's) while I completely agree, how are kids in the city or suburbs supposed to learn responsibility with no chores, learn life and death without animals, learn work if something is already built or done?

[@bruce-bales]

As someone from Idaho, I expected this to be a video about running from society. But I am pleasantly surprised that these folks seem to have a friendly, charitable view of their neighbors that is unfortunately becoming rare in these rural areas. I think what he said about the commoditization of peace and quiet is spot on- people buy rural homes and move there to get away from the "hustle and bustle" of the city, but completely miss the fact that friendship and community are what made rural life great to begin with. Though IMO friendship and community are what make life great no matter where you live, urban or rural.

Dunno, mixed feelings... escaping to your own 'Private Idaho' is one thing, but deliberately raising insular kids within that fantasy is another... kinda like religious indoctrination, no matter how 'wholesome' that may be.

I lived in the north part of this valley for 5 years and it was home. This man’s family is truly an institution in the valley. They were there at the beginning.everything he said is spot on. I finally had to leave because I was one of those workers who couldn’t make enough to afford to make it my home. It was devastating to feel pushed from there by the folks moving over from Jackson hole, driving the rental prices up to unsustainable levels. I had a degree and permanent state job in my field and still couldn’t make ends meet. It was incredibly difficult to accept and have to leave. So glad his family is living their purpose and raising those amazing kids. God bless!

If we took pictures, we actually took the roll of film to have it developed and what you got was what you got, and it was always fun to pick them up at the Photo-mat or drug store. We used to take off and go camping for days at a time and weren't worried about a thing. We knew how to read a map and change a flat tire or even rig something to hobble our way to get to a place that could replace a hose or spark plugs. Now we can't even wrench on our own vehicles. We are the last of the Mohicans, or at least I thought we were until I found this. I think it's great to see the kids having their own fun without being glued to some kind of device!

He met his wife while doing a mission for the church. I live in the greater Boston area and I wouldn't think that I'd find a caring person like this.

In the LDS Church, the first commandment the Lord gave Adam/mankind is to multiply and replenish the earth. There's also a verse in the LDS scriptures that says if parents don't raise their kids in righteousness then the sins of those kids will be on the heads of the parents. Also sprinkle in the belief of the eternal family and doing baptisms for the dead etc. The LDS Church summed up in one word would be "family"

This gentleman makes farming, dealing with the livestock easy. Nooooo, he has it soooo hard. Works hard! I give him credit for doing as much as he and his family are doing. Thanks for the video.

Grew up in Idaho and was raised just like this and would not change a thing about my childhood!

[@nimajnebsurrab]

My mom grew up in this valley. Her parents are buried there as is my father. It is one of the most beautiful places I know. It has changed so much since I was a kid that it is hard to recognize. I'm glad to see these people living this lifestyle.

[@Sharon-ls4bt]

I love watching your videos. Very educational. If you ever want to do one on rural life in South Africa - the REAL South Africa - not just the tourist Cape - I would love to have you here. We live in rural KwaZulu Natal. My husband and I take in vulnerable and special needs children and adults, most of whom fall through the cracks in our Social System. We work in our township where the needs are huge. Right now people haven't had water for 4 weeks. Some of the people haven't had water for 7 months. This is the real South Africa. Millions of people live like this.

[@captainfantastic7843]

Those kids remind me of me and my brothers growing up on the family ranch as the 4th generation. Nowadays, our parents, who wait patiently to become great grandparents, still live in the old ranch house that my great grandparents built. All us boys have raised the 5th generation out here and we're waiting to become grandparents. Wouldn't trade this life for anything.

[@weirdlanguageguy]

I can trace multiple generations of my own family to Teton Valley, Idaho. Thank you so much for documenting the land and people of my ancestors in this video

Those Percherons are awesome! I've always had a thing for large draft horses, and that team is just amazing.

[@heidikersey7162]

Mygreat grandparents live like this. They were poor but extremely happy and satisfied with their lives. Love you guys

[@LoriL010]

I love this family and their lifestyle. It's sad that so many are moving out there as it does change the atmosphere over time.

[@KaraNolting]

This one hit me right in the feels. What an incredible family - and something that struck me over any of the outdoors/working the land aspects of their lifestyle, is that they spend time together as a family. I feel like I see so many families that don't seem to know each other well or even truly LIKE one another these days and seeing a family work AND play together gives me such joy.

[@katelynbrown98]

I honestly think it comes down to the parents' *intentions*. You don't see children being raised with actual intention and purpose. Too many just throw their hands up and don't even try to connect with their kids, let alone serve them with love. They serve them with tradition and a "because I said so' attitude that really angers & hampers a person's self-worth.

[@MTknitter22]

The land in that area of IDAHO is unbelievably awesome. When our Texas family visited, I think our mouths were open half the time in awe!!! Super nice homesteaders and ranchers too!!

[@MTknitter22]

Yes! There are actually quite a few transplanted Texans now in that area of Idaho like my ranching sis and her family!

[@sarahbean6170]

I grew up like this somewhat in a small town in Idaho. I live in Ohio now and I still am raising my kids like this. There is no better way. It’s so fulfilling and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Awesome!

[@amypeterson1969]

I'm so thankful we raised our daughters in our rural, isolated ranching community ❤

Love this one, Peter! The term free-range kid is sad. As a child of the 70's, I experienced the freedom to be outside all day in the summer/weekends in a semi-rural midwestern area. We went home for lunch when we got hungry, family dinner at 6 pm. Was this the last generation to experience such freedom? I get that it's probably not realistic in many cities. Great to see there are still people trying to raise kids to be capable independent adults. Living with a purpose is a wonderful value to teach and share. 😊❤

[@highmountainmama8020]

Dude! You went right through my town. Small world! We do really have a community of “free range” kids. Thanks for highlighting our beautiful home!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Blamejames78]

I love this family’s ethics and keeping to there old ways as much as possible. This is how all kids should be brought up.

[@yaz519]

I really admire this guy, what he does will preserve the traditional, meaningful way of living and will pass it to next generations. Thank you for this video.

[@mcc9475]

I love these kinds of videos. I was raised in an urban environment, but my grandfather would occasionally whisk me away to the countryside for weekends or during school breaks. Those times were mainly spent in the garden, where he encouraged me to assist with tending to the lawn and crops. Those moments have become my most treasured childhood memories. There's a certain quality of life inherent to rural areas that eludes even the wealthiest urban settings. The family depicted in this video possesses a wealth of a different kind. My aspiration is to bring up my own children in the tranquility of the countryside, surrounded by the embrace of nature and animals. I'm hopeful I'll be able to make that dream a reality.

[@joaneverett2678]

Peter, your videos give me a look into our true USA. Watching you interacting with others with such respect and grace always warms my heart and makes me realize how impressive and important your work is. It truly makes a difference for all of us watching. Keep up your amazing travel and content. Thank you.

This by far is my favorite video you’ve done. I know I carried a torch for your Amish Series but this one touched my heart even more.I love those kids. Reminds me of us having a free range life in the 70’s. I have sent this to so many people. I know….not the life for everyone but boy those kids are the lucky ones in my book. Can’t say enough about this wonderful series Peter! Thank you so much 🥰

I agree with you...I am retired but had to go back to work only to survive! My Mom told me "There are no golden years" For the first time she was so right on! Thank God, I can still work for now. Can't say I ever thought about retirement! I just Thank God I can still work. Not sure for how much longer... Who knew?!

[@andrealipson6172]

This is very close to how I was raised... I am one of eleven kids and we gardened an acre. We did not raise any animals though. We did this in suburbia; we worked hard, didn't "have what others had", didn't live like others lived, us kids didn't act like other kids.... but we had so much more. I miss it so much... he talks about that 'magnetic pull' towards this lifestyle... yes, it is still there for me. Which is why I enjoy this content sooooo much!! I love all of your content, but this is the absolute best.

Great story Peter, True wholesome family that's fully invested in their faith, family and community. He's 100 percent right, things are changing due to all the people with money buying up rural lands to get away from the city life and pricing out traditional farmer/ranchers. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what's next.

I grew up learning from my grandmother..example Get water from the water whole warm it under wood outside to bath, save the water to water the dirt so it won’t be dusty. We had a shed where we used the bathroom...good times. I learned a lot from her. Miss her. God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸

We’re dealing with the same population explosion here in northwest Montana on a MUCH larger scale. We’re the fastest growing community in the country. It’s frustrating for locals who are 5th/6th generation here trying to survive and raise kids. I also fully understand what he was saying about the fabric community being diluted by new people moving in that have no idea what it’s like to be apart of the community. It’s frustrating and frankly it’s sad. Property that my family farmed and logged have become very high end neighborhoods. What they don’t realize is they all move here and drive the population through the roof. The other big issue is they move here because where they have come from was terrible, but then start to change things here and move the ball towards where they came from.

[@alanwesterfield4254]

exactly. Same in KY. They come here and will get bored quick. They turn to local governments and eventually your taxes start going up and you find they brings many of the problems they were running from.
