And to keep things at their maximum value, the HOA tries to have the whole neighborhood look HGTV-ready at all times.

It was going to be my retiring place, then dad up and told me he was selling it. Wrecked me when that happened. I bought a 30 acre place in the same area. Lived there 10 yrs, thought we had it paid off and found out our mortgage company didn’t give us the correct payoff quote. Got is into a bad legal bind and we lost that farm last year.

[@pattyhansen7563]

We have a new seasonal neighbor that hails from Long Island. (We are in CNY). He has told us that he has never had friends like the way people are friends to each other up here. I informed him early on; "We don't have $$$, fame, connections, or a lot of material resources. Our most valuable resource is our RELATIONSHIPS with folks. If you piss off your mechanic in L.I. you can go a block & find a new one. If we do that we are driving 1/2 an hour & the new mechanic is probably STILL friends with the one you pissed off so you might as well keep on driving. Don't come up here bossing folks around or taking their help for granted. Reciprocate & act genuine. Don't talk down to people & when they tell they do something a certain way, there is a reason. Find that reason out. We are smarter than we look. And we are loyal. If you are rude to our friends or other neighbors, that info WILL be shared & you will be shut out of some of the most fun of your life!" So far he has taken this advice & has made so many friends.

[@joschmidt4951]

You are spot on correct Buddy. Thanks for letting folks know. We also don't like your dogs killing animals on our place. Another note, we are not the local drop off point for your no longer wanted cats and dogs! Though the bobcats, cougars and coyotes may disagree.

Your best video yet, I’m appalled on how many folks move to our area and clear cut everything, they should have stayed in the city.

[@winstonsvictorygin]

Love that Pick Up Truck!

[@Johngoes.outdoors]

Also: ticks

[@AgnesMariaL]

Sounds like you could use a flock of guinea fowl! We have them, and every year the tick population around our house gets noticeably smaller... but if I walk ten minutes up my road to where I have my gardens, there's still loads of them!

[@mothclaw1867]

Good advice, I'm 16 and from the UK. My family are all extremely liberal, but I've always wanted to move to America. We Patriots are rare out here but it's good to know we can always escape to the country when the chance arises.

[@corneliuswowbagger]

I am from the country, moved to a small, growing city, now way too big, so when I retired I moved to another rural area. Still meeting people, but I have a big advantage. My 5 x great grandfather pioneered a known trail through this area in the 1700s, now mostly local roads so I have some historic claims. Note: There are almost no abandoned roads in the Appalachians, they are just a little wider and mostly paved now!

[@Rusted12Valve]

Good topic for a video. The best advice I can give from growing up in the country is Don’t move out here from the suburbs and then complain that there is no dining or shopping. And DON’T complain about there being nothing to do. Put down your iPhone and take in life the way the Lord intended. Last thing. Don’t tell the land developers where we are. It’s our LITTLE slice of heaven, and we don’t need a walmart.

[@allanfranklin9615]

I agree. I live in the country, all my life, but in the last ten years, people from out of state haved moved in, bought land driving up real estate costs, and some act like they are still in the "city." Just had someone from Illinois move in and pay an outrageous price for two acres. Ridiculous. If you move here, adapt to the country life. Keep your Yankee thoughts to yourself.

[@Vydio]

Actually I enjoy having a WalMart. But it can stay 15 miles away.

[@str8shooter159]

I have lived in the country all my life. I love living in northeast MS and i wouldnt change it for anything. I know my neighbors and they know me and we help each other we are a community that treats each other like family

[@cheaze69]

Don't put so many lights on your property that it looks like a UFO landing strip.

[@lindazuba]

Excellent input.

[@JohnJoyce-jx1gu]

I taught my boys to do this and I live in the city, but was raised with an outdoor toliet!

[@louiscardinale1701]

Well said, Buddy, 100 percent correct.

[@JohnHolmes-om8cg]

I agree about country and distant neighbors… One of the best things about moving to the country is that I can do naked yoga in my yard, in nature, under the sunshine!

[@onthewrongbus6326]

City girl here and saving up to move to the country...aside from peeing in my yard and traveling far to get supplies, this was exactly how me and most of my neighbors were raised...everyone I know hunts and goes fishing...pro 2a!! Mostly military and law enforcement...as much as I love where I was born and raised, my kind has been pushed out because lowlife idiots have destroyed it...and sorry, but I will continue to vote how I always voted, especially since I'll finally have a chance to be on the winning side!! (we haven't had a republican mayor since 1941-1952)

[@BonkinBonuts]

I really hope I get to live rural someday. I’m tired of regularly dodging crack fiends and can’t defend myself. I love the idea of looking out for my neighbors. Because of my work I basically have no choice but to be in big cities. Overall I just want to live somewhere people are kind. God willing, one day.

[@user60521123]

All of this sounds like paradise to me, especially the parts about no HOAs and shooting on your property. I’ve lived most of my life in suburb of LA and I am beyond done with all of it.

[@highstepperARF]

When you go through a gate, put it back exactly the same way you found it…especially the loop of locks. Don’t lock anyone out.

[@robinemery]

Buddy, i want to move to the country, cuz im disgusted with stupidity these days!

[@prestonstephens7719]

Multigenerational Houstonian. Never thought I’d leave Texas. Escaped to Hot Springs, Arkansas, four years ago…. Best move ever. 90-year-old farmhouse on 2 acres. Neighbors are great and quiet. An hour to Little Rock (BOTH TIME’S we went, haha). Bubba ain’t wrong about the gunfire,,, Houstonian perspective,,,, just gotta get over it!!!! Y’all come back now, YA here.

[@Flightdevildoc]

Awesome, well said. Part of growing up was at my grandparents farm and looking back, it was one of the most memorable fun and learning experience in my life, to be self sufficient, respecting nature, living simple life, no TV, nothing. It is so true about neighbors not just a word. That is the reason, I am moving back to the mountains, to rekindle that experience and live the rest of life back to simplicity. The roughness of the country living is probably what keeps people healthy. 😊

[@psycowilley3498]

Go to Church, not for everyone else, but for God and you; say Grace over meals. Respect everyone, especially the elder and women; use sir and ma'am; if an older person or lady walks in, give up your seat; wave at everyone; invite folks over for BBQ, fishfry, field dress and butcher a deer and donate it to the family down the road; cook a meal for your neighbor when they need it, or when they don't need it, invite them over for dinner. Teach boys to be men and girls to be women. If you see a gun standing in the corner, it's loaded, and all the kids respect it and know how to use it. Don't walk away from an argument, sit down and figure it out with a handshake. If you did someone wrong, take responsibility. If there is work to be done, do it or help the others do it. Don't worry about if you neighbor is doing the right thing, you do the right thing and pray. Don't embarrass another man; every man wants to work for what he gets. If a man falls down, help him up. If a man takes a knee, take a knee with him. Listen twice as much as you say. Treat animals good. If you see a parent disciplining a child, stay out of it. Do the best you can, so every night you sleep well because you know that you did the best you could do that day. Thank God for everything that you have.

[@oeautobody3586]

Amen

[@DoudD]

Good video. Good advice. It really comes down to "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". I take some exception at the inference that city neighbors are necessarily unhelpful and rural neighbors are always helpful. I've seen too many exceptions to both. Neither lifestyle can can exclusive rights to being neighborly and helpful.

[@RuralRoute3]

Amen!

[@unklez1933]

1 maybe 2 trips to town a month is it. Keep stocked up on beer.

[@deborahharvey854]

Learn to make your own

[@unklez1933]

That has been discussed.

[@MrEdHoss777]

I LOVE my neighbors and they are not like family, they are family to me. I am so blessed by my Lord Jesus Christ for blessing me with them.

[@JohnMcClain-p9t]

I left Chicago in 76, joined the Marines to escape. I found myself in North Carolina, backwoods, and decided I was never going back. I married a North Carolina girl, had almost forty years of good marriage when I lost her to multiple sclerosis and COPD. My kids are grown and gone, I get to visit my daughter a few times a week and she and her husband will be building on the land my wife and I bought that all woods. The only thing I do out here "like in Chicago" is carry a gun, everywhere I go, which is really illegal and unwelcome these days in Chicago. I have good neighbors out here. Thanks Buddy!

[@BradanKlauer-mn4mp]

Good for you escaping the hell hole called Chicago and thank you for your service.

[@tombstoneranch69]

As someone who DID move from the city a few years ago: Neighbor is family. When things go sideways (and they will...), you will NEED those people. Pissing in their cornflakes and even worse...REPORTING them to the enforcement dicks...a sure fire way to massive hardship. The people who have grown up out here know how things work, and you don't. Be humble, respectful and ALWAYS offer help before it's asked for. Lastly, you really do NEED to let go of government. Once you step out from beneath their boots, you will begin to see just how wonderful our world is, no matter what they tell you in the city. When you realize that there's nobody holding your hand anymore, you can finally grow up. This was something that really caught me off guard. I thought I was grown up because of age, but I am just a babe out here in the woods. Again, stay humble, and realize that once you shut up and listen to what the planet is telling you, you can grow into a true adult.

[@salteastsimon]

you forgot the #1 of living in the country, if you go down a local country road and they don't wave back or at least put a 2 fingers up. they're up to no good. or they're not from round here.

[@WootenWooten]

Add to the list, get used to your neighbors having animals and instead of complaining to the police or trying to make everyone have dogs on a leash or lose your mind because a cow or a pig is out. Call your neighbor and or help them get their livestock back.

[@michaeldoshier1107]

Amen brother

[@saltybildo9448]

Yep in the woods here in Florida

[@mondavou9408]

Good looking truck.
