I love the Idea of Meeting Matt's Daddy & icing on the cake would be to hear some of His old Stories.. We had our 1st Freeze in MO.. & a few snow flurries & gone. I PRAY GRANNY IS DOING WELL.. Enjoy You & Matt tell Stories just like the Guest you've had. Glad Matt has had Success SO far Hunting. WOW if we got to get that many deer limit we wouldn't have so many homeless or Hungry people maybe.

I love hearing your stories. My Grandma had 16 children but Grandad worked in the mines, kept a huge allotment, pigs, chickens and did a bit of poaching to feed the family. He was a real hardworking family man and they knew hard times. (UK)

I really enjoy your videos. So good to see more of Matt and you together. In a crazy world it is nice to see calm and normal.

I remember my mother borrowing the neighbor's mule and plowing the garden. She also had a push plow which I remember she would plow the whole garden. She was a hard working woman. She passed away 7 1/2 years ago. I miss her.

Love those memories!! I'm sorry you lost her.

"Putin' it to sleep", your garden, so poetic, makes one anxious to see it wake up again. Always a pleasure to hear your stories of the olden days, runs the same in my country. Be well.

My Dad used to say that every room in our house would be two inches wider if you could keep a paint brush out of my Mom's hands. She was constantly wanting to change colors, textures, etc.

Tipper, so gracious of you to give a nod to a KZreadr you enjoy. Here's one Matt might enjoy: Brownville's Food Pantry for Deer. They support the wild deer population in their area of Maine by supplying acorns, oats and apples in feeders during the winter. The deer yard on their property and the McMahon family have cameras on the feed troughs which go live on Dec. 16th this year. It's so lovely and peaceful to watch those beautiful deer come in to feed during the winter months. I was thinking y'all might enjoy the tranquil beauty of their videos.

Here in Oklahoma we're expecting a hard freeze tonight- 10-29. It has been raining, cold rain and I'm hoping it doesn't freeze and be slick, lose electricity, etc.. I went hunting with my daddy from the time I was about 7, until he died at 74 years old, 28 years ago today. This video brought back a lot of dear memories of those times in the woods together. He taught me about the animals, how they acted,etc. He taught me how to be quiet in the woods and read signs so we could find the animals. Thanks for sharing your stories, memories you'll hold dear all of your life. Enjoyed the visit, stay safe and GOD bless

Deer camp memories are one of those things you never forget. We had some good times and lots of funny experiences. Thats another of those things i fear will be lost to the younger generations.

Matt: well I’m ready to go in because I know what’s in there on the kitchen counter. Tipper: yea I made Matt some country ham and biscuits. Me: now that’s a Miss Cindy special.

I got tickled at Matt's skunk story! 😄 I love hearing stories of the old days. My parents and grandparents used to talk about the same things. God bless you all.

Hunting or no hunting, camping is just fun, great family times, many fond memories. ❤

Matt has become quite chatty since he retired lol We enjoy his quick wit too Thanks for sharing him with us God bless

Oh my! Country ham, grits, eggs, biscuits and red eye gravy might be the best meal I’ve ever eaten! I used to love hog killin day. Mama would cook up a big pot of liver and lites stew and cornbread! Growing up on a farm and living off the sweat of your brow is the BEST life. I am so grateful that I got to grow up like that.

You’re so right Tipper, we have all these conveniences yet people are stressed and angry. We had our first mass shooting last week here in Maine. Just heartbreaking. Congratulations to Matt on his deer harvest. As always, thanks for another great video.

No trails, but when I drive by where my grandmother had a farm, I always slow down and look for her....We used to bring fruit and vegetables up to the road stand and sell. I loved her, I loved the farm. It was my happy place. It was purchased by a sportsmans club and is now all overgrown. I still drive slowly by and look. Just in case. Sometimes I think that if I see her, it will be my time to go...and follow her into the afterlife.

I love Matt’s shirt. I love Spirit Of The Outdoors! He has such a good, Christian heart & a clean, Christian, family-friendly channel. Channels like yours & his are few & far between. I love the wit, wisdom & lore you all share. I just can’t believe you worked poor Matt so hard & allowed him to come unfed, Tipper!😂 You & Matt are so precious together.

We live on opposite ends of the Appalachian chain, Tipper. I remember feeling envious of the jump start you get on your garden in the Spring. We plant more than a month after you do. But come Fall, we are ahead of you. Our leaves are gone. Though it didn't accumulate, we had snow flurries all day today. The high temperature was in the mid-30s. In the last week, I mulched a few pick-up loads of leaves and spread them in the garden. Then I covered them with a few inches of composted cow manure and tilled it in. Amending our soil in the Fall is a strategy we use to plant as early as possible the following year. I suppose that's our way of adapting to a compressed growing season. Have a wonderful week!

Thanks Tipper and Matt for the visit. It is so nice to sit a spell with you both. Your family reminds me of good old fashioned family times. God bless you and your family and praying for Granny.

I live in northwest Georgia and I think here where I live is the Deer Capital. This past summer I saw more deer than I have seen in my whole 60 years of life, and I have seen a lot over the years. I think it is because nobody hunts around here anymore. My husband use to be a hunter and we always had deer meat in our freezer, but his health keeps him from hunting like he use to.

Just listening to you both chat on, is calming and peaceful.

We are praying for rain here in H, GA. Its scary living in tinderbox conditions. Man just one careless person! !! And poof!! That's a good idea about tilling the ground to kill the bugs and varmints this winter. Matt come on by our house and bag you a herd that eats our tomaters and we'll throw in an extra wild turkey or ten for fun.

Matt, I am with you on your love of painting. I really enjoy your videos.

Thank you Matt and Tipper for sharing you day with us stay safe . Have a blessed week

Hearing you mention people saving their shoes back in the day reminded me so much of my mom. She used to talk about that very thing and about running from shade to shade on the dirt roads to cool her feet off when she was trying to walk somewhere. It sure was a different world back then.

I just wanted to say hello now from your friend in nursing home while I was able to now. Will come back to finish your video in the wee hours. Ya'll look very relaxed. Always so nice to see you both Tipper and Matt!

We dipped below freezing here in SE Iowa last night. Woke up to zinnia zombies :). Poor things' leaves were all droopy and the blooms were faded. I need to get out there today and pull them up. What you said, Tipper, about the hickory leaves against the blue sky reminded me of one morning back when I still lived in Ohio. I pulled into the parking lot at work and was facing west where there was a huge bank of dark grey clouds behind some kind of yellow-leafed tree. With the sun behind me shining on them, they were just about glowing so yellow against the grey clouds that I actually gasped and stopped the car and just stared for a couple minutes. it was truly a magical sight to behold!

Looks like the bees are getting their last hurrah too. Yall have done a wonderful job there. I enjoy watching all of it.

Here in northern Kentucky on our 165 acres, there are so many deer. I have killed 2 or 3 over the years from our porch. I have hunted with my husband for 15 years now. I am the butcher in the family myself. Wish you all the luck with more deer.

I so love the talks!

Our deer limit in Missouri is two. After hearing the NC and GA limits, I do believe we have received the short end of the stick 😁. I had no idea that the limits varied so much from state to state.

I grew up in SC. There are more deer than you could shake a stick at. They die of starvation or diseases if they aren't culled.

Your mentioning the days when people walked made me recall my childhood days when my mother , sister and I would walk to town . Sometimes it was just to go "window shopping " for nothing in particular . The sidewalks would be full of people because those were the days before shopping centers and all the stores were '" downtown ". My favorites were the two "ten cent stores " and two hardware stores . There was also Sears and Roebuck and Montgomery Ward. This was in the early to mid 50's and down town started to fade away as shopping centers became more common . Walking to town faded with it except in my memory .

Great video! I watch a lot of British archeology. When they have a great deal of manual labor to do, especially where walking is concerned, they use the pharse, "It's Shank's Pony all the way." Seems like a phrase our ancestors brought with them to Appalachia.

I guess someone near by is target practicing? I like how y'all don't even flinch at the sound!!

It's at the end like the last five minutes!

First hard frost last night. Got down to 29 here in Maryville. I covered up the habanero and ghost pepper that have just started producing in the last month. The rest of the peppers I picked what was left, and stripped all the leaves and tender stems off for the composter. The garden is finally about done for this year. Looking forward to celebrating the harvest for the rest of the year !!!!!! My thoughts are with you all and Granny. Can’t wait to see the new addition to your family !!!!!

🍂 Fall is my favorite Season, and I'm not looking forward to such a drastic change in temperatures. As you get older I believe you will continue to look back more now than in the earlier years remembering great stories... I laughed so hard when Matt's Daddy was asked how did the skunk 🦨 get the cans open. So glad to hear Rachel is doing well and continues to keep fit. Folks like Rachel, the Flowers family and others are far and few around here now. I've never heard folklore about catching a leaf, but I'm definitely going to tell my grandchildren. I miss seeing Granny on the videos but she needs her rest to get well. The LORD hears our prayers. I'm looking forward to your next video. Have a wonderful week and stay warm. Blessed! 🤗🙏💕

Good morning, Tipper, hope y’all are doing well, cold weather’s coming, I think it’s time to gather up the last of the gardens goodness and pull out your long johns and stoke up the wood stove, cause according to the weather man it’s going to be 26 degrees in your neck of the woods tomorrow morning. Here were I am about 32. Those marigolds are really pretty, they really brighten up your day, you could bring some of your last flowers inside to enjoy, that’s what I would do. 🌼🌸 I’ve bought pretty leaves inside, but they dry up pretty fast. 🍂 Y’all take care , stay warm.

I'll send you summer... we had the soggiest summer. I could grow rice in parts of yard. Lost all the potatoes due to rot. Tomatoes lousy as well. Like you, beans were the crop of the summer.

I always enjoy dropping by to see what you and Matt are doing around y’all’s homestead. My mom always had us plow the garden several times during the cold weather. Like Matt said as long as the grounds not frozen it can be tilled. It really does seem to kill out any bug larvas that’s hiding. When my husband plowed up mine garden several times during cold weather my garden had the best produce to harvest. The years he only tilled it once it just seemed I was fighting all kinds of bugs, voles and moles. So I’m a firm believer in tilling up as much as you can during cold weather.

Love the conversation and beautiful weather. Thanks for sharing.prayers and blessings to y’all

Nice you've amended your garden beds to such a lovely state. We have clay here in the Willamette Valley, not red. I loved the Little House on the Prairie books as a young girl. Read them all several times. I even bought a complete set for myself as an adult. The very first book starts off with pa shot a deer.

Enjoy all your videos, & the girls too. Here in Ohio its been a beautiful Fall, now it seems like the cold winds of Winter the few days. I love Fall, just not the real bone chilling cold.

I sit here and watch/listen to you guys while I work at my desk and yearn to get outside. I did get to walk trails this weekend at the county park my daughter in law is in charge of but it wasn't enough. I grew up with a single mom in a small town and didnt have a car most of the time but we never had to walk very far for anything. My childhood was way more simple than my peers. And as much as I resented it then, I sure miss it now. Funny quotes: "Seems to me that these days you can't play marbles without having to buy a uniform.". -Ward Cleaver. "These times are too progressive. Everything has changed too fast. Railroads and telegraph and kerosene and coal stoves--they're good things to have but the trouble is, folks get to depend on 'em." --Charles Ingalls (The Long Winter, LEIW) Pa was So right! What would he think of today!

One of them birds in a hawk. A redtail hawk I think. I call them a squealing hawk. When you hear one and want to see it, you can't look where you heard it. You have to look all over the sky. It seems they can project their voice. Maybe they can get their prey looking in the wrong direction before they swoop down on it.
