"if weeduh had bologna durin the civil war weeduh won" HAHAHA classic.

[@Possumliving]

This video has been up for 10 years now, and I've watched it at least 4 times. Love it! I can't (and don't want to) even imagine what kind of miserable life the 47 people who disliked it must be living.

[@mikeellis8339]

City folks

[@fjb4932]

Possum, Looken likes a couple of them thar sour pusses had a few kids. Up to 55 now. Noooo shame ...

[@nikburton9264]

Them folks got no class. Up to 63 now.

[@georgeland9862011]

Those 47 people probably live in an urban jungle with an HOA and some 21 year old giy doing 100 mph past there house in a 25 mph zone.LOL

[@hideyho67]

My grandpa had a cabin on the Kentucky,ran trot lines and hunted and fished around those parts up to the day he died. Never wanted to go anywhere else, that's contentment.

[@eagerbeaver57]

A real couple o' good ol' boy's living the good life like they know it. More power to ya guys.

[@njtr]

Some people may have thought these guys were crazy, building this boat. Now look at them, having the time of their lives. What a GREAT idea.

[@thatguydoug]

I would absolutely watch a fishing show with these guys. Different guest musician each week, playing and fishing.

[@oldvision1645]

Take it from an old river rat....this IS living! Nothing sooths the soul like drift'n down the river.

[@Cosmicblast77]

I kind of envy them and their peacful life style. Wish I was going down that river in their house boat.

[@epsilonsigmamu]

Now you see, why can't we have a reality TV show about THESE guys?

[@Pwnzistor]

"with his mouth" LOL, seems pretty laid back, I like these guys..

[@tikka3030]

Yep one of the reasons I love living in the south.

[@seymour5000000]

at first i was shocked, but then i loved it! no mortgage, credit cards, time clocks, boss, deadlines, day care, traffic, gas bills, etc. they own their own lives. love it!

[@wittethan]

Just looked back on this and realized this is the single thing that sent me into a shanty/house boat/raft frenzy that has led up to me making plans to raft down the Big Sip! Thanks guys! PS: I was born in Kentucky!

[@t4705mb6]

I would give everything I have ever earned to LIVE on a houseboat like this. I grew up in the country too and find my peace with nature. I should have never listened to the the idiots telling me I had to "get ahead"! Live and learn. P.S.: Bluegrass is my favorite country music. I loved it when the "Darllins" played on the Andy Griffith Show when I was a kid!

[@sean57]

you guys got it made in the shade!

[@BroTheDude]

I was high when I watched this and thought it was the funniest video I'd ever saw

[@RondoDimes]

"If we'd had bologna during the Civil War, we'd won." lol. KY River is beautiful, especially along the steep palisades.

[@SCduckwhacker234]

I laughed when he said somethin bout government cheese and if we had bologna we woulda won the civil war! These guys are hilarious!!

[@acousticwork]

I know these gents very well. You'll not find better men. These are the characters we fight for.

[@NikonRules303]

Looks like a relaxing day to me.

[@swisscheesenrye]

ABSOLUTE HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!

[@wideeyedsneeze]

Oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD! Starting at 3:42 is the greatest banjo riffs I've ever heard but its only 10 seconds long. What is that song?? Has anyone bought their records and can tell me? Its so awesome.

[@ArkRed1]

You go guys. You people after my own heart. That's the way to live.

[@Str8eningTheCurves]

KYAfield has the best videos...this one and the turtleman are my favorite vids on youtube... These guys are full of laughs... I bet he kept a grin on his face all day hanging out with these fellows.

[@lazy010011]

"Looks like you built it with your feet to me" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@ReannaDrum]

I read about the Moron Brother and this video in the Kentucky Living magazine I got in the mail today and just had to watch this. I'm glad I did. Now I want a old river houseboat even more. Talk about a great vacation!

[@ds3333]

It is nice to have a best friend like that. I love bluegrass.

[@MartinHouston]

Love you'r boat, and the music. River is beautiful. You guys are a real inspiration.

[@FeelingCalled]

Those guys are cool as they come. I like how pops is in the johnboat out back piloting the shanty.

[@hideyho67]

My grandpap loved this old river and spent many years living in a cabin,running trot lines.These guys are really funny.One of the songd on their CD is about a guy's wife trying to break the tobacco chewing habit.

[@Bagpipe13]

the stuff of dreams,you boys have got it made.

[@BluegrassCamaroAdam]

[@alphawolftactical160]

This is my dream...

[@horsesandtipis]

Good bang music there. Love my houseboat too!

[@mushroomcloud1]

Just have to ask.....Would you rather spend time with these ol boys on the river or Michael Bloomberg in New York City. .......? There is only one correct answer. (Hint, it is the one with the bluegrass music).

[@rossmcclure5618]

man, now that's a river camp there!! Love it

[@gamarybeth]

These guys are smart. I wish I was on the boat with them.

[@Banjomountain]

These guys are great. I would do this if I was retired.

[@Jeepmosora]

[@DuctTapeDreams]

[@TexasLady04]

[@myke201]

Wonderful. wish I could be there. Thanks for posting it.

[@631959]

Any of ya'll been lookin for the "Good Life"....There it is!!!

[@John-ym1dx]

The way you eat them bone carp is you boil em till the bones and meat separates, let the meat cool down, flake it up in a bowl, add a little cornmeal and flour, onion and egg, then fry it up in bacon grease like you would Salmon Patties. Makes good eating.

[@jabe54]

i love this video these two guys crack me up every-time i watch it!!

[@dLimboStick]

This is how I talk when I go camping. Just comes natural win yer out in the wahld.

[@VictusMei]

You're not morons, you're the smartest people I've seen on the youtubes. How much is your electric bill / rent / phone bill? Point proven. :) Enjoy the easy life!

[@LessonsR]

[@stevedrumheller7210]

Y’all let em rip jokes during the interview? That’s amazing!

[@hippiechuck]

[@kodeshtzion]

well, this reminds me so much of my dad it isn't funny. he's 62, gettin ready to retire, and looking at property on...you guessed it Kentucky Lake!

[@njtr]

A lot of people might mock these guys, but inside they're really jealous. I think the boat's beautiful, and a GREAT idea.

[@breckandy]

I like seeing people having fun :-)

[@hamsammich69]

there should be a neighbor like ya'll on every block. every block!

[@pickleme101]

You guys are too cool. I love it. And the video work is good too. Love the swimin joke

[@elihew]

This is just GREAT! I myself, am from the 'outskirts of Appalachia', where the State lines of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky meet, so I can relate. Thanks!

[@kirvin2]

The best way to get around the bones in a buffalo is to leave them in and pressure cook the meat, which makes the bones soft. Then you make croquets, just like salmon. You won't notice the bones and they improve the flavor and add calcium.

[@humblewarrior6585]

Love the River Shanty Boat, and like you guys too ;-) Yall is my kind of people !!!

[@catoway74]

love ky afield.and yall

[@hatelyIII]

[@Punchabearinnamouf]
