I saw Phil speak at Harrisburg Pennsylvania during the hunting show a few years ago. I've been following the duck commander for years. He's partly responsible for leading me to God which I'm immensely grateful of. I bought Phil's book, the theft of America's Soul. A great read btw. God bless you all.

My maternal grandfather was a warden at Cummings prison in Arkansas back in the late 50's and they were a self sufficient farm. Everything we ate was grown or butchered there and I remember the fresh milk, fresh churned butter and biscuits, fried chicken, smokehouse with hams, bacon and sausage and fresh vegetables as being the best food I've ever eaten and I was only 6 or 7 years old. I totally understand what Mr. Phil is talking about ...

Being Phil’s uncle, he probably made a pretty small living trapping and such. He had to be very thrifty to save $40,000 and do it without earning interest! Speaking of killing your own chickens, my grandparents were farmers and I remember on a visit to them when I was a kid, they killed a chicken and after plucking it, they built a fire to hold it over to singe the pin feathers. I’m 57 years old, but I can still remember the stink of feathers being burnt off! My grandma then cut it up and then said, “we didn’t have toys when we were kids. This is what we played with” and handed me the part below the drumstick and showed me how to pull the leader and make the claws flex! Most mothers now would have a fit if someone handed their child a bloody chicken foot to play with! My grandfather kept a milk cow and I still remember how good that milk tasted! My grandma would skim most of the cream off to make butter, but there was always some in the milk that we stirred up so it was in the milk. They would keep it in big gallon sized jars I the refrigerator. Good memories!

Phil has stories for DAYS! 🤣 I could listen for ALL of those days, too. 💖

Who wouldn't, love listening to one of Phil's, family stories.. he is a treasure!!!

During the depression my grandfather had one of the only hay bailers in the hill country of Texas. He made loads of money and never put it in the bank. He buried it on his property. We the family believe most of it is still there, because my brother and I found a keg of wine he buried. The wine was in an oak barrel and had been buried for many years. We were only 8 or 9 years old and thought it was koolaide and drank some. That’s how my Papa Henry got in trouble with grandma Sarah.

Phil you're so down to earth and inspiring you give me hope

God bless you Phil. You are a huge inspiration to me as well as hundreds and thousands of others.

Bless him 💯❤️‼️

I love to hear these stories.

I like your uncle Marvin, Phil. Great family history.

Sounds like home to me. We lived the same way. Hunt, fish, raise cows, pigs and chickens and had a garden and a Smoke house like you are talking about Phil. I could listen and compare stories with you all day. My uncle buried a coffee can full of money... Amazing....

Good story Phil Robertson great God bless u sir ur family

Grandpa! Tell me bout the good ole days!!. Thanks Phil 🙏

I needed this story, this morning, Thank You.

Phil reminds me of my dad, so so much. My dad died at 73 in 2015 and I wish I could listen to just one more story. (Edit: even to the point of the recliner with clutter around but his Bible always within reach)

Love listening to your tales

Wow great story I would have loved Uncle Marvin,,bless him.

Thank you for the good story. Please post more videos like this!

Not the same but i was raised by my Grandparents whom i would sit with and listen to their stories of how they were raised in Puerto Rico back in 1935 or so. They talked about living from the land and cooking with fire as well as being happy with much less than i has when I was being raised. Dad as i called my Grandpa came into the knowledge of Jesus at the same age i am now and lived on to become a Pastor and a preacher of the gospel. I admired him so much and loved him dearly. Im embarrassed now that i become agnostic and completely detached from the Word as i listen to Mr. Phil and reminisce about my parents. Im stuck in a dark hole man. Im so ungrateful. Its been 3 weeks now where i have been glued to this channel and i cant bring myself to stop watching reruns of the show which Dad loved and i never watched. I once heard that God was irresistible and I couldn’t escape Him… could this thing i feel be him? I done turned so far from this i dont know my way back. When i was younger i had a good run with the Lord and i messed it up. Ima keep watchin’ though, keep em comin’ 🤙🏾

How many mink do you suppose he trapped to make 40 thousand dollars? An excellent story Phil, thanks for sharing it with us. God bless, DD

Thats a good story right there, thanks for sharing Brother Phil. As for the old smoke house, buddy I was raised with one of those, sure made for some fine eating, that's a fact. Thumbs up video buddy!~John

Great to see Dan the man actually talking in the video =).Great story Phil We Natives never used shotguns mostly 22s and 303s and 30 ot 6 but I've heard of many of the old settlers dying of lead poisoning in our north hundreds of miles from the help of course. In the 30s and 40s the bow was the big hunting tool and traps but today we use modern rifles for all our meat. Love the old stories I tell my gal a lot of them as she is my second lady and a city girl but she won't eat no wild food except the roasts we get from young people who hunt all the time on our reserve. Thanks for the word of God and Jesus Phil you have helped me on the narrow path and Im forever grateful to you and your family. Megwiitch~isi.

That was a good one Phil i liked it ..My family is from a long line of trappers here in Oregon since before it was a state my Grampa told me some crazy stories

That's a very cool story Phil!🤗

I could not love this MORE!! Mom said during the depression a loaf of bread was a nickle. I said Why didn't Gramma spend a quarter & buy FIVE loaves of bread? She said Because nobody had even a nickle!

I remember those days

My gosh. Uncle showed what the appendix USED to be needed for! My gosh though. What a story! Pickle jars & whatnot. 👍👍👍

Yep.

My wife's grandma didn't believe in banks, they found $180,000 in bonds, $80,000 cash in a brown paper bag and she had hid silver bars that she knitted covers for and used as door stops. Her other grandpa trusted banks and started Fifth Third Bank and left her mother a multi millionaire. Each to his own I guess but I always wanted to dig up her grandma's yard, we lived in the 10 room house with silver bar door stops.

What an amazing story when I was just a wee lad my Dad's dad went through the depression and rumor was he put money in tin cans and buried it. Where he and my uncle lived and I don't recall if they found anything but one of his sons was a backhoe operator he dug up every place they thought it might be and did not find anything that I recall.

Grandpa used to do the same but it was in his garden with the tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅.

Phil got a nice little office going on there

I remember when people had them smoke houses. Love that smell

Live around a bunch of arkies and kentuks. Any time an elderly person died the yard would get dug up . One family found a can in the well . Knew a bunch of old guys buried money in coffee cans.

A filthy rich man but so humble. He does not live like a rich man. His house looks is like someone who makes minimum wage. He still works hard everyday although he doesn’t need to. A huge difference between rappers and democrats who flaunt their wealth and are lazy and refuse to work.

Well I declare! Phil Robertson has had a life of adventure in his family. Phil and Uncle Si are the King of Adventures and their stories. Jase is surely creeping up close to catching up to his Senior family members. Phil is a natural born story teller and telling this story about his Uncle Marvin may be the link to Phil life. Phil seems to may have inherited his Uncle Marvin attributes and character on being self-sufficient and doing manly activities. The $40,000 dollars in a pickle jar and the mother winning the Price Is Right Gods Favor has been on their life for a long time.
