You are a comforting voice during trying times, hearing you share your thoughts and wisdom has been a blessing. Thank you

Dewayne, thank you for the book recommendations and encouraging people to read to their children and grandchildren.

I was just walking back to my apartment, thinking about how I want to raise children when I become a parent, if I get to be one. I thought and said "God I want you to help me in this process, I don't want to decide how to raise kids with my limited mind alone." A few minutes later I walk in and open KZread, this was the first video that popped up on my recommended. Anyhow, Been watching these videos for a while and I just want to say I appreciate them.

Just pray to God that you would like to be a Dad to a child or maybe more than just on. God will lead you in the right path to find a lady wishing and hopefully praying too. This is the proper way, God's way.

Sir, I’ve seen many clips of your videos! I’m a veteran who suffers from ptsd military/civilian. I came across you by accident, but the words that come out your mouth touched me. There’s lots of subjects you touch on, that incite memories of how I’ve dealt with things in the past. Your words are more meaningful than you know. They have consoled me on bad days, and made me think of my actions and behaviors. Thank you for bringing up that a man can be emotional. I look forward to more videos and wisdom from you! Thank you once again!

This is encouraging to what we already do with our kids. My wife brought that into our marriage and I’m incredibly grateful! My kids actually get disappointed if we don’t read before bedtime. I love that. Big love and gratitude amigo!🙏🏻

Every video of yours that I have seen has been valuable at some point, whether it be a situation of the past or present, or advice that gets taken to heart subconsciously. The variety of content works well. Don't try fixing what isn't broken. Thank you sir, and may God bless you and your family.

Also, on a serious note, Kipling is phenomenal. Washington Irving is to this day one of my favorites. Very good picks.

New hat, Dwayne is swaggin

Thanks for sharing. it’s sad to say but I think most people don’t even pick up a book anymore. Everything‘s on the Internet, so why would they. They don’t know the feel of it the smell of it any of that you know what I mean. That is something that is slowly slipping away, which is sad. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate you DeWayne, I am thankful for your life and existence as part of this world, and I think you are one heck of a man, God bless you, and thank you for the book recommendation!

I'll never forget reading "A Day No Pigs Would Die" to 5 of my grandchildren and the looks on their faces & at times tears in their eyes. I wish all children would be read to. Now some are getting bigger we take turns reading. It's a battle to turn off the devices but they end up loving it when we do.

This video tracks well. Love the recommendations especially at this time of year when its dark, cold, and we are just trying to push through to spring.

Feedback: positive! It is good to hear about relaxation in the midst of hard work. And advice for child raising.

I’ll take every book recommendation you share. Love everything you put out.

I like this video, iam 67, love the west, lived in it for a few yrs in the 80s, now iam a retired saddle maker, just make a few things, I have read only 5 books, iam a very slow reader, they were all real stories, one you may have read is, 15yrs on deck of a pony, story of Charlie Siringo, great book, now I listen to audio books, not the best but I can't focus, again great video, thanks

Nice stable advice for parents of younger children. Thank you Sir for your peaceful nature.

I have started vehicles iin the cold, I have put an electric heater on the oil pan and if the battery has a bit of life it will start. Thanks for the video Dewayne appreciate it

Thank you for the recommendation. I’m 19yo and all I do with my time since I was 14 is listen to audiobooks while working. I was never good in school because of my dyslexia even tho I had probably read more books than all the teachers fresh out of college. Reading is magical to me and expands the mind in every way and has always been my #1 past time. Grew up on family ranches in Texas and utah out of reach of technology like everyone else my age which I am so unbelievably grateful for. Growing up I never played video games I was out in my grandpas blacksmith shop working and listening to book after book. Now I work 12h a day on the ocean listening to a book every second of the day and I can never get bored of it no matter the literature. I wanted to say this as well but thank you for all the motivational videos you make on how a man should be and think. Some day I hope to have your mindset and demeanor towards life… I just got unengaged on new years and your videos helped me view everything with clarity and come to terms. I actually just got a job on a ranch near Jackson lake Wyoming as a horse wrangler as a way to go figure out who I really am and get back in touch with my roots and heritage… Your one of the only people I use KZread for so keep up the awesome videos!

Your videos continue to be a great source of peace and good sense, sir. Thanks and please keep up the great work. Everything you're putting on here is so important. But I'm a real bookworm, so my ears really perk up when you start mentioning good, enriching books. Keep 'em coming, please! I'm just a few years behind you, and some of my most treasured memories were reading to my boys growing up. I did the voices and everything. I miss those days! Stay warm, and God bless.

The very act of yours of smoking in harmony gives me solace and it makes me listen to you with good composure and fondness

Smoking a cigar, listening to you Dewayne. I look up to you and men like you. Thank you for speaking to us.

I read to my 6 year old grand daughter every day , and a book for myself every night . Noticed a shake in your right hand as you lit your pipe multiple times , that I did not notice before . Hope it was just because you were cold . If not , I pray that you will get it checked out . We all need you around to keep us on the right path for a long time to come . Love the beanie .

Love the book videos. Your reading recommendation video from a year or so ago was great. Wouldn’t mind more videos in this style.

I'm from the North East of England and have followed your channel for a long time. I have greatly enjoyed every one of your videos, even though I've never even ridden a horse. You're a valued and trusted inspiration to me and I take very seriously all the advice and wisdom you take the time to share.

Hello, Dwayne. Trying to stay warm here in our neck of the woods. Loved the message tonight. I've always had a passion for reading. Been wanting to gift my niece a beautiful boxed set of children's books written by Beatrix Potter. You've inspired me to place my order pronto in hopes of receiving them before she delivers her baby!

Thanks I have great memories of my dad reading to us , every winter we would go through several books, yes keep the recommendations coming

Yes Please Keep the reccomendations coming I love a good old time story specially a cowboy story Thank you Dewayne you are a good respectable man Id be pleased to meet you sometime

Keep them coming Dewayne! We enjoy the recommendations.

My humble recommendation is Winterdance by Gary Paulsen. If you don't mind a bit of hyperbole and a great deal of laughter, you will enjoy this book about a man who decided to run the Iditarod with no idea of what he was doing.

I’m going to be 70 this year and I remember the book that started me reading. Forest Patrol by Jim Kjelgaard. It hooked me. Laying on the corn in the crib, rain on a tin roof. Fall weather.

@@jatrodai8921 I like fantasy, Star man’s Son by Andre Norton started me on that trail. But she wrote over 60 books before girls were allowed so she changed her name to Andre 😂🤣. Anything by her. Next author I love is Anne McCaffrey. Dragon song is the first book of a trilogy. But, that little trilogy is just the edge of a great abyss.. Great works. As I got older C.J. Cherryh came along with a book called The Pride of Chanur which is a view of the galaxy from a non human prospective. Great fun. Hope this helps start your journey.

This is great video. I read the Bible and Children’s books to my children while I was pregnant with them. Reading was an everyday activity in our home. Both of them are avid readers. Keep the book reviews coming.

BOOK RECOMENDATION LIST(childrens books included) Tour of the Praries-Washington Irving Collection RUGER KIBLING ORIGINAL JUNGLE BOOK Riki TIKI TAVI PUCKS OF POOKS HILL

I generally have 2 books on the go at once. 1 fiction and one non fiction

I’ve turned watching your videos into a nightly routine. It’s a great way to decompress and think after a long day. We love you Dewayne ❤

One of my favorite books. What a glimpse of the true nature of what western prairies were like. Was not what people think, not at all. Good recommendation, Sir!

Rikkitikkitavi is probably my favorite story of all time ❤

I love factual books/biographies/astronomy and the likes. Last one i read was Billy Connelly biography by his wife, Pamela Stephenson. He was born and raised just up the road from me, so its easy to relate to it. Great book for anyone though.

Even though I barely read, I've liked private peaceful by Michael Morpurgo. Stay warm.

Loved this sir. Thank you. Been visiting with you a long time now. These are the exact talks that hooked me to begin with and kept me coming back. Best to you and yours. Keep it up.

Hi Dewayne! As a mom of two grown sons I want you to know I 100% agree about reading to your kids. From the time of their births, I read practically every single night to my boys. By toddler age, they both could not wait every evening for reading time!

Happy birthday come April, Dewayne; I’ll be 57 right along with you on the 28th.🫡👍🏻Unfortunately on the subject of reading(I don’t recall many books I read); I was into comics from a young age; and that grew into my interest in art and drawing and painting, though. Thanks for your video here.

During your earlier video, at your recommendation, I bought Log of the Cowboy for my dad. Thanks for the recommendation. I appreciate the encouragement to read with your kids. You're right, as usual. Cheers! Hope you enjoyed that C&D Pegasus!

I LOVE Kipling and have a small collection of his poems and a few short stories.

Dewayne, you really got my mind going with all your videos I've watched. I love the pearls of wisdom God has bestowed on you. We need more men of your caliber. They are leaving this world daily. I've been trying to breakdown in my mind the thought of, What does it mean to be a man worth being? Im a husband, father, brother and son. Is what I'm doing in this life going to leave a legacy for my family to remember like my WWII grandfather's life? I see him as so many positive things. I want to be a man of God, honor, strength, courage and love. Watching you stirs emotions that I haven't taken the time to process. Just some things on my heart. God bless you brother. Thanks for service and all you have done to make people better.

Please keep up the recommendations!! You have helped me through some tough times and your book recommendations are always good…thank you for all you do!!!

Love all the nuances of this channel! ❤ to hear you and Momma do a deep dive on your homeschooling recommendations, advice etc.

I would love to read Tour of the Prairies. Definitely like the book recommends.

Really grateful for this, OG 🙏🏽 thank you

Thanks Dewayne. My kids are grown and I have one grandson. I’ll recommend this video and book to my daughter and son in law. Enjoyed me a Charter Oak Connecticut Shade tonight.

Keep these book recommendations coming!

I appreciate the book recommendations and would enjoy more of these videos when appropriate. Thanks you sir.

Thank you for taking the time to share books that you read to your children. That is the best way to make good readers of them while they are young. Yes, by all means, continue to make book recommendations. In addition to your wrangler experiences sharing the love of books is always helpful. I am always looking for the next good book to immerse myself. Looking forward to what you share next time. You're the kind of man anyone would be honored to know and learn from. You've led an amazing life. My only regret is not living closer to you (currently in New Braunfels, TX) so I could spend time with you talking about life and learning to enjoy a good cigar.

I love your book recommendations. Please keep them coming!

I love book reviews. Thank you so much and please keep them coming. Always happy to hear your recommendations

Yes, please - more future book reviews! Well done!

Thank you for the book recommendations! I sure appreciate them! I read Riders of The Purple Sage thanks to your recommendation in an earlier video and really enjoyed it.

Love the beanie! At first I thought someone was standing in for you.

Good recommendation, and yes, we'd love for you to continue this! I'm 23, and over the past year have rediscovered how much I love to read. It's easy to consume our time with social media, and when I turned 18 and got a cellphone, it quickly replaced my reading time. I love listening to podcasts or watching channels like yours while working around the house, but when dinner is done and the evening comes, I read and write

Just ordered a copy, I've been trying to read more as of recent and these videos are my favorite reminder to just sit down and read every so often.

Hi Dewayne, I just wanted to say that I love your videos! Even though an ocean and about thirty years of age divides us, we have a lot of shared values. I take to heart your view on things. Every one of your videos sheds a light on important topics from your perspective, one that we don’t hear enough. I have always been keen on listening to stories of experience from - to me - older folk. From a young age, I would stay around adult conversations and absorb what was being said. And I just love listening to your stories! My father used to read to me and my siblings every night, and he still does sometimes when we go on vacation together. He must have read at least a hundred books to us: first children’s books (amongst which The Jungle Book), but later novels like The Long Ships and The Hobbit. I cannot stress enough how much I love it, and I know that one day, I will read to my children as well. I am very thankful for my education: my parents were never unfair, explained all kinds of scientific curiosities, took me on hikes, and read to me almost every night. Please know that your lessons are being heard, and that your channel is my favourite on KZread. Sending you love, and wishing you the best of luck forward.

Always good to get a video from you! Keep on with the book recommendations please.

I'm currently reading The Drifting Cowboy by Will James

I was looking on your site and was sincerely wanting to bring my grandson’s 13 and 9 to wrangler school. I see you are booked up so I’ll keep my eye out for your next year. Awesome book review especially my grand boys. Thank you and God Bless You and Yours 🙏🏼📖

There was and still is a time, to view reading as simple meditation. We don’t need to find a teacher or a system to buy $300 in gear to go to classes where we expect to become tranquil and reflective.

Thank you Dewayne!! Because of your recommendations I’ve recently acquired. Shadows on the Koyukuk INCREDIBLE!

I thoroughly enjoy your book recommendations. Keep them coming!

Washington Irving is probably my favorite American writer, such a gifted storyteller. Thank you for the recommendation. Stay warm!

I appreciate the book reviews, Dewayne. I’d love to hear more about the books you’ve read that have shaped you into the man you are today.

Hello! First of all, I would like to say that you are a person who makes a difference in people's lives. Congratulations for being who you are. My father was always distant from me even living in the same house. You are what I have as a father figure today. And it's even a little emotional to say that, because today I'm a father and I'm inspired by you to give my daughter a good upbringing. Now, speaking about the theme of the video, I've never been a big reader, but my wife is and we have an average of 300 books at home. I was very motivated to read stories to my daughter and maybe enter the world of reading with her and my wife. Thank you very much.

Loved this video, and look forward to picking up your recommendations. PLEASE more videos like this 😊

I am an 18 year old senior in high school. I have been watching you since I was about 16. You have made such a difference in my life. Being a young man in eastern Kentucky, my options are limited. You’ve inspired me to get more involved with working on my papaws farm. Thank you.

I really liked this recomendation, kinda motivated me to read a bit more today. I can't wait for that book of yours...

Please don't ask if we "mind" anything, I really appreciate how you speak your mind. Don't start putting too much value on our opinions now!

Thanks, DeWayne. My book recommendation, something from the past few months, "Woman of the Boundary Waters" by Justine Kerfoot. Great humor, wonderful stories, and a good book for winter.

You’re a good man, Dewayne, and you give good recommendations tempered by your wisdom and experience. I’d like to offer you a book recommendation that, if you haven’t already read, might speak to your taste. Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Win Blevins. It’s a book of short stories about the first Mountain Men. It’s embellished but historically accurate. In his introduction, he says the breathtaking thing about the mountain men is that the stories are true. I hope to meet and smoke a cigar with you in the coming years. Congratulations on all your successes.

Thanks Dewayne. I'm going to look for that book. Sounds like a good one that I would enjoy through this cold winter with my coffee and a pipe. Thanks for sharing all of your wisdom. Happy Smoking

When we were children, my mother read us a chapter every night when we went to bed. It was a way to get us settled for bed, and it worked. Authors. Arthur Conan Doyle - his medieval novels, not his detective fiction. G. A. Henty - probably the most popular writer for boys in the english language during the late 1800s. He wrote historical fiction and his heroes were always manly and virtuous. Good role-models. Robert Louis Stevenson. R. M. Ballentine Rudyard Kipling. Steele Rudd - humerous depiction of life and hardship farming in the Australian Bush. Jeannie Gunn -"We of the Never-Never" is a classic record of the wife of a Station (Ranch) Manager in remote northern Australia , the equivalent of America's frontier.

Book stuff is always welcome, the world needs more of it. My pop giving me The Wind in the Willows to read was life changing for me as a kid. My dad reading me short story collections was as well.

I’m going to take my kiddo into town to the used book store in search of a few of these recommendations. I know I could just click and wait for it but I think this way would be much more meaningful. Thanks Dewayne!

No greater gift can a parent give - the love of immersing oneself in words. Thank you for popping up as a video to watch this evening. First time viewer, first time sharing your content.

I really enjoy these book recommendations! Great video, Thanks DeWayne!

Hardy Boys, while growing up, was great!

Thanks for the recommendation. We read to our kids and their favorite was Tucketts Travels. The Hatchet was another that was recommended but that one was too slow for us. Louis L'Amour is what got our son really reading and all of them are grown now and now the ones that have children read to their children. Thanks again!

Im glad I flicked on youtube and saw this tonight. And to answer your question this type of video is refreshing to say the least. Im a big reader myself and you're right about people not reading anymore. Especially parents reading to their children. My mom always read to us as kids and wouldnt you know it, I love reading still to this day. Anyway I appreciate what you're doing with the channel brother. Catch ya next time.

Dewayne, you are blessed to have been able to read to your children and I hope this experience created lasting memories that also created readers in your children. When my twin brother and I were young children in the late 1960's and early 1970's, my Dad, who has a wonderful reading voice, used to work late into the evening and wouldn't be home by our early bedtime. There were times he would read to us, but he eventually got the bright idea to tape himself reading these books to us, and then our Mom would play the tapes back as she pointed along in the book to Dad's voice. So I grew up with a love of entertaining stories. Comes my age getting around 7 to 10 years old and my Dad would set up late with me after he came home from work and I would read books to him, just the two of us in his bed. I read the series on Doctor Dolittle and a few other books. But my favorite book of that time was Rudyard Kipling's "Captains Courageous." Of course I had seen the 1937 film of the same name with Freddie Bartholomew as at first annoying "Harvey Cheyne," Spencer Tracy as the affable and thoughtful "Manuel Fidello," and the crusty but loving and wise Lionel Barrymore as "Captain Disko Troop." I read that book with my Dad and loved every second of the adventure. I have yet to read other books by Kipling, but I have read the poem about "Gunga Din" (as well as saw the 1939 film -- a magical year for film), and looked at parts of "The Man Who Would Be King," which the 1975 film (that I saw when it came out in the theater) is fairly faithful to, and saw of course the cartoon for "Riki Tiki Tavi" and the various incarnations of "The Jungle Book," especially with Sabu. I guess that's why I became a librarian and have a large personal library. Keep on reading, and keep on buying books or borrowing them from the library!

usually I don't comment but stay warm, all about breath and posture and getting excited to add layers. I love your work online and off, thank you for the book recommendations. Don't really know what the negatives are bc I don't read comments but I'm inclined to share how much I love the content, concepts, and commendations of yours
