SWAMP LOGGERS NC / "HALLSBORO BLUES"

In this episode, Bobby and the guys struggle to get this last tract done and get closer to home. But with over half of his crew leaving to start their own company, Bobby is faced with the reality of getting Hallsboro done ASAP and to get back and try and curve the high cost in fuel he has incurred on this job.

Bobby very bad forces and their people have decided to totally collapse the U.S. and Independent Businessmen. Time to get reconciled to God.

[@mississippijohn1432]

To the Goodson Family, all Employees, and Friends: I have watched yall for many years and I truly appreciate the way you carry yourselfs. I am in the tree Industry as well. The fuel problem and the labor problem effects everyone. The good Lord has always seen me and family through the good and the bad. In the rough times when I don't know what to do or how I'm going to make it. I always lean on Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God" thank yall

[@joshgallant3136]

Thanks for sharing this brother and I’m now subscribed to your channel too! I would love to get back into working in the woods again but would love to use mules! My dad and I did it many years ago until his best friend was killed by the horse team he was driving with when they pulled the sled over him. Have wanted to get back into it for years. You guys have encouraged me to maybe take the leap! Praying for Al of you alls safety in the log woods!

[@stevemcvay2220]

May god help us all during this administrations decisions that can and are putting so many of us into debt. I hope they get everything figured out! It seems like they have gone down a little since the end of the month but the prices on everything are hurting millions of us!!! We all need raises to keep up with this inflation but maybe 1% if that is actually getting the raises or income you need to sustain a decent life! There’s no way to save anymore!!! I’ve had take all my retirement payments away so I can just pay my bills and I’m still about to be living in my car!!! It’s insane!!!

[@JohnnyIDive37]

your awesome man! from canada.

[@jameshanshaw6347]

Praying for you and your crew. I'm a 72 yr old retired heavy haul driver and not in good health.its so much a blessing to see a Christian who is not afraid to give God the glory he deserves publicly .just waiting on Jesus in wv

[@johnc7512]

The world needs more guys like Bobby and this whole crew.

[@rottiman100]

Bobby & company, y'all are an example of the "true grit" backbone of what's trying to hold together what's left of this once great country. Stay strong, stand proud.

[@cummins31]

Bobby, as a struggling owner operator of a dump truck myself, when you said " I don't know what to do anymore" it literally brought a tear to my eye. I feel that statement right straight in my heart, sadly so many of us truck owner's are in the same exact mindset here lately. I could say keep your head up, keep going, but when everything is going so bad, those type or words just don't help anymore. It's a sad situation we are all in, and worst of all there isn't a single thing we can do about it. I just hope we all make it through. It's funny the truck and driver shortage is mentioned, shoot I have a road tractor in my driveway I would love to get on the road, but thanks to literally everything fighting forward progress, I just can't afford tags and insurance nor find a driver worth hiring. Maybe one of these days it will happen, and I'll send it down east to pull some logs for ya. Lord help us all in these ridiculously trying times.

[@pvtimberfaller]

The company I work for here in OR. almost lost it due to lack of trucks. I have a machine shop and log when it's not making money. I have said those words many times. I would love to work for Bobby.

[@josephstaton3037]

Isn't it a shame our own gov puts people like him out of business.

I can hear the discouragment in your voice. It's tough right now. Praying for you and others in this business

[@kylemcalpin9324]

I used to watch swamp loggers. I was so happy when I found this channel. I binged watched all the episodes because I been laid up in the bed with kidney stones. Bobby and Co have been great company. Can't wait till the next episode.

[@beebs5930]

Hello Bobby and family, do good to see y'all hanging in there. Keep praising the Lord. And I am praying for you guys and our country. Remember God is in control, love to all! Keep on logging!

[@dangeissinger4906]

Thanks for taking the time to make videos, i really enjoy them. We truck and farm. What a mess. Fuel is outragously priced. Fertilizer is off the charts priced.

[@cornelliacrum74]

Bobby you and your crew are the most positive, uplifting, hardworking group I've ever watched. Your videos are so genuine and true. I love every single aspect of your hard work. Keep your faith, it'll work out!

[@dannygrider7655]

This is why I always loved your crew Bobby. Y’all pull together as a family and get it done. I’m in Texas and not a logger so I enjoy watching a different form of agriculture. Keep up the great work Bud. Gotta love Gary. I’ve wondered where he’s been.

[@jessemartinez566]

Glad to see an onsite video. Things are tough all over with no end in sight. Hats off to you and your crew for hanging in there. Prayers for you and our country 🙏🇺🇲

[@SwimminThelake]

This country runs on fuel! Bobby, you're absolutely right!

[@briankohu435]

Im in awe how you all go about your profession and how the machinery is specialised for the environment conditions and workplace, we don't have swamps here, so it certainly takes special certain folks to work the land and swamps. The most intriguing and inspiring thing I've observed is how genuinely nice everyone is to each other, how dedicated to your work and most of all, family and faith been the foundation, motivation to perform your professions as efficiently as possible and keeping relationship with each other and those around you all balanced and harmonious amen. Love ya all here from New Zealand god bless you all and keep you all safe on the path to success and guide you through the hard times 🙏 amen.

[@richardfajt5230]

I have been watching you guys for years. I just want to say thank you for what you guys do! So many people in today's society don't know or over look all the hard work you guys do. Thank you all, be safe and God Bless you all!

[@ericgriffin397]

Good to see you again Bobby and crew!! Y'all be safe out there, we are praying for y'all and God Bless you all!!

[@demodrew5.099]

I am not in the logging industry but have always been fascinated my the way Bobby and the rest of the Goodson team have always just grinded through the rough times. We are in the demolition/drywall industry and the fuel/ material prices have made it hard on everyone. The biggest problem currently is not enough people willing to work or learn the trade! There's money to be made out there but you've got to earn it and be willing to learn. Keep it up Goodson team and keep posting videos, they always inspire me to keep up the fight!!!

[@topshelf321]

I own a heavy equipment company, building road and clearing land. The high prices are rough, but at least I get to set my prices. I couldn't imagine having to run my crews at last year's pricing and paying out double. Wishing you the best, I know you care about your crew like family so I hope your able to keep the wheels turning.

[@crazycampinfamily]

I been watchin you for years, your whole crew and family are such good people you bring me comfort from my chair watching your videos i thank you.,Im from a small town in northern,Ontario Canada we rely on our pulp mill our town would die if our mill closed ,i know things will get better i pray they do for us all.I purchased a tshirt and i love it ,i wish there was more i could do. Stay strong Bobby

[@tomhuff9712]

It was a great day when I found you and your crew on u tube. Had enjoyed your time on TV and really missed you when it ended. Still marvel at the difference between your logging and ours here on the west coast of Oregon. One thing is the same a d that is the struggle with higher costs of fuel and no work force. Prayers for you and your men Bobby.

[@keithhubbard8093]

I 've been watching Bobby and his amazing family and crew for years, God will continue to bless all of you, we need more people like you Bobby...Praying all will ease you and all of the people having difficulties during these trying times.

[@christinesveistys6016]

Hi Bobby and all, Keep up the great work with all the videos. You have been blessed with a great bunch of guys. That shows the true reflection of how you and Laura treat people. You are all hardworking individuals and may God grant you and your family the best in the years to come. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see Dave cook since you have 100K subscribers.

I don't know what is going to happen. The government is working against the small businesses in the United States of America 🇺🇸. I have watched your program on the other channel. Back in like 2009. The best we can do is to use the tools GOD gives us to continue our businesses. Sadly I don't see your grandchildren getting into the timber industry. Unless they run a sawmill. Take care GOD BLESS you and your family.

[@unclemuir]

I enjoy these videos. The machinery sure takes a beating running around those swamps.

[@lindsaygilmore1771]

I love your attitude to work and life, you need to get some young apprentices and teach them the logging business. Plus they will learn what it means to be part of a family that stick together and look after each other. You are in my prayers for sure. I live in the UK but I would love to shake your hand one day.

[@thomream1888]

Know this Bobby: we're praying for you and your crew. Tough times bring out the best in tough people, and you are one of the toughest! God won't give you more than you can handle, but He does like to teach us how to develop and grow our Faith. Shoot, if it was easy we wouldn't need God! In these times I find that I need God more and more every day. I think that's a good thing, but sure can be scary! One other thing Bobby, if I may. I don't think God minds if we take a break now and then. I find that's a good time to pray a little bit. As long as we don't let go of Him and try to make our own way, He will honor that. God's blessings to you and yours Mr. Bobby.
