What makes this channel so good is real folks doing real stuff.

When I was a boy growing up WV we were poor and life was simple but we sure were happy. I still live in WV and life is still simple by most people's standards but some how it feels like the magic is gone. So many of the old ways are being lost. I love WV and our way of life and will never leave here. I am an old man now and I am happy but waking up as a boy to Mom's breakfast like yours and looking forward to the day in the woods with my gun and my dogs was a very special time.

Ham steak and eggs with red eye gravy and biscuits. Can't beat that breakfast

The word paradise is so appropriate! Thanks once again Tipper for sharing with us. 🌹

Let's see a garden to table meal, and a after dinner music concert with a digestif of peaceful forest. Thank you. My evening is complete now. 😊❤🙏

I'm loving these older video's that I haven't seen. My Mommie used to call that "red sop" gravy. I grew up the Mountains of Eastern, Kentucky in Appalachia. Appalachia will forever be embedded in my soul.

This looks so good to me! Oh, my Mama used to make red eye gravy and grits with ham and eggs.Daddy would put either honey or Karo syrup over butter like that and mix it together for our biscuits. Sweet family memories. Y’all are building such a precious heritage for your family. Thanks for sharing your journey. One of my granddaddy’s expressions came to mind this week and I wanted to see if it’s in common use in your area. When someone would ask how he was getting along, instead of just saying, “I’m fine”, he’d say, “well, I’m able to sit up and take a little nourishment.” I loved his expressions. See you next time! Much love, Jane in SC❤️🙏🏻

That’s like my grandma and mom, making up a batch of biscuits like there’s nothing to it, then, making the rest of breakfast as if, there’s nothing to it. Good Old fashion country cookin, just simple as can be and, simply taste amazing.

All was great!! Now I want breakfast. Love the music treat at the end!!

I love your videos they take me back to my grandpa’s and grandma’s farm a long while ago. They grew everything grandma made her own butter That was the happiest memories for me and when I watch you and your family it gives me that warm at home feeling I had back then. Thank you

Watching Tipper butter that cast iron skillet reminded me of my dad. The grandkids would come over and he would give them a stick of butter to carry around and eat. Soo funny.

Lordy mercy, after all that food and some good music I'm going back over to the creek side and take me a nap! You guys are just like family, love yall!

Love watching your channel, I grew up along a bayou in south Louisiana but I believe we have a lot in common. I grew up on a working farm with 3 older brothers. My mom took me out to the cotton fields before I could remember, I do remember sitting and sleeping on her cotton sack. I was about 5 1/5 when I started driving the tractor for them to pull corn. Dad farmed about 80 acres in crops, we had pigs and cows. He had about 250 acres, but sold all but 80 due to heath issues. He has been gone 30 yearsand mom 19, my brothers and I still have the farm and lease it out to another farmer. I also love watching your girls, they are a joy to watch. We were poor but I never knew it until I was grown. There way always love and food on the table. One of my favorite things in this video is the syrup and butter being smashed together, brought back so many memories. Another video was case knife. God bless.

Your channel made my wife and I fall madly in love with Appalachia and the way of life y’all live. I recently visited the south and got to stay in Asheville and went to Georgia and I loved it but watching your channel and the girls channel with my wife made us want to live there we love this way of life and pray that our Lord will open a door for us to eventually make our way down there some day. We actually got to lookin at some places in Tennessee but my heart longs for North Carolina ever since I stayed there, I almost didn’t come back home to Rio Rancho New Mexico. But I realized I had to and been kinda sad ever since, your channel gives me a piece of that place every time my wife and I watch it and we just can’t get enough!

One of the things Love about your channel is your connection to other youtube programs that examine the past of eastern America. I mean Early American, and the Townsends (I know there are others but the making a life in the wilderness and how people grew and ate and prospered from the land's bounty. You are a part of our story going forwards, that the earth feeds us and we have to respect that,

That breakfast with coffee gravy made me think of my grandpa he always cooked the breakfast. That was my favorite with country ham coffee gravy only think missing slice fresh tomatoes.

#14 is just as enjoyable as videos #1 - #13! I turned my volume up to enjoy the creek sounds even more. A neighbor let me pick leaf lettuce out of her garden a couple days ago. Wilted lettuce has been on our menu. Enjoyed every minute of the video. That song shows off your talents on the bass even more, Tipper. Thank you. Happy 4th!!

You are a true homemaker You take care of everything in the house and out on the grounds with your gardens and that’s how it used to be here in my part of the country just like my grandmother and my mother they stayed home took care of the home made sure we all had warm food in our stomachs at meal time kept our clothes clean washed them and hung them out on the line the clothes smelled so good I think that’s why I enjoy your videos it reminds me of a time gone by. You were cooking just now and you used one of your small Griswold pans to put weight on that ham it looked like a chrome Griswold I have one of them
