My Son's Boots Took a Beating! Emergency Restoration Before Next Fire!

[@dagneytaggart7707]

I appreciate your view on the male-female audience. I was widowed years ago, and dropped into single mom, lady proho world. My dad was a great man and did much to prepare me. My husband was a great man who created the foundation of a strong family unit. For all the man type things I've had to do, I am not a man and do not need to elbow my way into man spaces. I have enjoyed your channel for several years. I've learned much, been entertained and moved on when the subject wasn't for me. I cannot fathom taking umbrage at you not being female inclusive. BELOVED and general respect for your audience is plenty inclusive for me.

[@wranglerstar]

It's awesome to hear how your dad and husband laid a strong foundation for you and your family. I'm glad you find value in my channel and appreciate the balance we strive for. Your understanding and support mean a lot. God bless you and your family! 🙏💪

[@kalburiumstormbreath]

As soon as I saw these were Jacks boots, I knew what you were doing, Cody. I've cleaned my kids' shoes, and it's a dad's way of saying I love you. I can see you're proud of the literal steps he takes. I've watched Jack grow up and know that when he's off in the world, the things you've taught him will carry him through anything. You've inspired me to be a better father, husband, and Christian. I'm picking up what you're setting down! Thank you!

[@wranglerstar]

Wow, thank you for such a heartfelt comment. You're absolutely right-taking care of Jack's boots is my way of showing love and support. It's incredible to hear that you've watched Jack grow up and that our journey has inspired you. Being a father, husband, and Christian is a continuous journey, and I'm honored to be a part of your inspiration. Keep picking up what I'm setting down, and may God bless you and your family!

I've followed wranglerstar most of his YT career, he is always doing something for or with Jack. From what I've seen, he's a great father and all around family man. I've learned alot through the years on this channel from woodworking to how to teach my son many useful things

[@russellswanson117]

When Jack pulls those boots out of his red bag he will smile and know his father loves and cares for him, beaver and all. True testament to the bond between father and son.

[@Simpleguy2313]

Its crazy seeing jack grow up . I remember watching him when he was so young . Good job cody you raised him right

[@Ged]

The obvious pride you have for Jack choked me up a little bit. I saw that same look on my father's face when I came home from from Desert Storm, and I can picture it still to this day all these years later. You've raised a fine young man, sir, and it's gratifying to see you send him off with his boots restored with love and attention.

[@cloydchiro]

Dang Cody, at 9:07 when you sat down to lace those boots and the music began, I felt it strongly. This is not just a man lacing a boot. With your history of wildfire service and now Jack's, to think of all the places those boots will go, the dangers they will face, the lifelong stories they will be a part of, the critical role they will have in success "out there". To watch a father take such care of those boots like you did, for Jack, hit really deep. And regarding why didn't Jack do his own boots, I know you were kidding I would point to motocross racers. They don't wash the bike or do the wreching just race the heck out of it. So to help gear up the hotshot in the family on short rest leave must be a real honor for you all! We have a lot of respect for wildland firefighters down here in Cali. And the families that produce more of them!

My dad always polished our shoes before any big event. You would just line them up beside his and he would make em look nice.

It was a joy to watch you lovingly restore your son's boots. My first thought was good grief! That's a big boy! 2nd was memories of early married days of my husb slow cooking his boots after cleaning & sealing with mink oil and the gentle smells of a slow roasted high dollar pair if boots. That was winter, Whites for timber work then overhead lineman. Them boots were nothing to joke about or mess with. My dearly departed dad went one step further in he made his own special blend of oils & cleaners and was a master craftsman leatherworker & metals of any type. He had his own forge growing up. He said if it from the earth...I can melt it. Bullets, guns, horseshoes, copper art etc. very cool man whose craft sadly passed with him. God bless him. Great video!

The way that you talk about boots as being a very serious and vitally important piece of equipment… it reminds me of being in the Infantry in the Marine Corps.

It’s appreciated. God Bless.

My dad ALWAYS had his boots squared away. One of the many fond memories i have of my dad was him teaching me to shine my shoes and boots the way he learned in the army. The thing about buying a good pair of boots is even if you pay to resole them etc it'll still probably be cheaper and with better quality leathers than what will be on the market in 5-10 years because companies sadly keep cutting corners on materials.
