WEBVTT - Ep. 105: THIS COUNTRY LIFE - The Stuff In My Pockets

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to this country Life. I'm your host, Brent Reeves

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>from coon hunting to trot lining and just general country living.

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I want you to stay a while as I share

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 1>my stories and the country skills that will help you

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>beat the system. This Country Life is proudly presented as

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network, bringing you the best

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>outdoor podcast the airways have to offer. All right, friends,

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>pull you up a chair or drop that tailgate. I

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>think I got a thing or two, and teach you

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the stuff we towed around in our pockets every day.

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Carrie is a term I'm only recently familiar with, but

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 1>one I've been practicing since my feet hit the ground

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>in the mid sixties. Now, that's only partially true because

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>some of that time, at least initially, I was what

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>was being toted around every day. But from my earliest

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>memories of having breeches with pockets, I've had my go

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to items that I couldn't leave the crib without, especially

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>after I got out of the actual crib. Now why

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>is this important? Because a man needs to be prepared. Well,

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that's partially true. The correct answer is we all need

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to be prepared and carry things we need, so feel

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>free to interchange pocket with purse, backpack, satchel, briefcase, sock, brazier,

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>or wherever you decide to cash something that you might

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>need later. But what are these items? Are they there

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>out of necessity and utility or are they simply there

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>for nostalgia or maybe a little bit of both. I

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>can't speak for yours, but I'm going to tell you

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>all about mine. We're gonna talk about it in a minute,

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>because first I'm gonna tell you a story. Mister Bill

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Chancellor was attracting mechanic more accurately be described as the

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>tractor mechanic. And I'm not saying he was the only

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>one around, because where I grew up, you couldn't swing

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>a dead cat around more than once without hitting the

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>tractor man. Regardless of where you were standing. There was

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>lots of folks that were tractor mechanics. What I am

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>saying is, if a tractor mechanic needed a tractor mechanic,

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>he called mister Bill. Now, I can't remember where my

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>dad got his tractor, but it wasn't in the best

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of shape and he got a pretty good deal on

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.239
<v Speaker 1>it because of that. It was a thirty five horsepower

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>massive Ferguson, and the red paint had long faded to

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a rust brown, and the gray color of the engine

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and the chassis that was all gone. There was a

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>little paddent left in the seat, and the only thing

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>left that identified it as a massive Ferguson was a

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>sliver of one of the decals that was on the hood.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>But the plan was to help mister Bill rebuild it

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>from the floor to the ceiling, and mister Bill shop

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>so whenever Dad got away from work that summer, we

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>worked on that tractor under the guidance of mister Bill.

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>I was probably eleven or twelve and trying to make

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a track in every track my Daddy made at that time.

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>And on this particular day, we were nearing the completion

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of the tractor restoration. And let me tell you, that

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>joker look good. The engine had been completely overhauled. The

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>paint was original massy Ferguson red and gray paint. Mister

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Bill had replaced the decals with originals he'd gotten from

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the Massive Ferguson headquarters. I remember exactly where I was standing,

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>watching mister Bill as he adjusted something under the hood,

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and he asked my dad above the racket of the tractor.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>He said, Buddy, I can't reach my knife, let me

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>borrow yours. Well. I started looking around for mister Bill's

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>knife because I knew my dad was not about to

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>hand him his. When I see my Dad reach in

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>his pocket and hand it to him, I couldn't believe

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>what I was seeing. I wasn't allowed to touch it,

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>and here mister Bill was scraping and gauging on metal

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>with all his might. I was shocked. That was a

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>killing the fence. But my dad just looked on like

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>nothing was happening, Like the previous eleven years of proper

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>knife care instruction that he drilled into my head had

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.679
<v Speaker 1>never happened. That's a knife, not a screwdriver. That's a knife,

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>not a hammer. And yet right before my eyes, I

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>was watching mister Bill slap annihilate the edge off my

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:31.559
<v Speaker 1>father's case knife, which was the knife everyone who knew

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:37.039
<v Speaker 1>reeves was correctly spelled r EA and not re carried

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>in their pocket. There were no exceptions. Dad got that

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 1>pocket knife back and eventually we loaded up and we

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>headed home. Now we ain't got out of the driveway

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>when I said, Dad, I saw you had mister Bill

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>your pocket knife. He kind of laughed, and he said, son,

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>you saw me hand him a pocket knife. He handed

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it to me. It wasn't a case. I was a

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>little confused. I said, I thought we only told case knives.

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 1>He said, we do so, but we don't want them.

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, every day carry eedc for short, the stuff

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>in your pocket or in my case, pockets, because I

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>got stuff in just about all of them. This is

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>learned behavior from someone in my formative years, like my dad,

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>my grandpa, my older brothers, folks I spent the most

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>time hanging out with, which was exactly how they came

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>about carrying the items in their pockets. Every male member

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Rhees family carries a case pocket knife. Now

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you ladies, hold on to you hate mail. My sister

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>in law has a collection of them that would rival

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>most museums. I kid you not. My wife doesn't toe

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 1>one because she has me, but if she wanted to,

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>she would, and I would make sure she had a

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>good one. Now, I don't know what number of great

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>grandpas it was that started this tradition, but I could

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>testify that the Reeves family has been patrolled in Arkansas

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and removing with a knife all the parts of animals

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that don't taste good. Since before the Civil War and

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 1>way before the case brothers got together in eighteen eighty

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>nine and commenced to giving birth to what would become

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>a staple in the reeves. Boys every day carry the

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 1>case pocket knife. Around nineteen twenty, one of them jokers

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>designed the trapper model, and that's the one. That knife

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>has become a part of our identity. And you can

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>bet one thing for sure, if you see one of

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>us and need a knife, we got at least one.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>We ain't gonna let you borrow it. Just show us

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 1>what you need, cut and get out of the way. Anyway,

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the right front pocket of these American

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>made roundhouse overalls. Inside you'll find a case pocket knife

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>and a tuba chapstick. Some might say, why would a

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>man told a pocket knife in twenty twenty three, Same

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>reason he told one in six hundred BC, when the

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>first folding knife was invented. Did I say six hundred BC?

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I sure did, because that's when some cat in Austria

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>got tired of his wife hollering at him for poking

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>holes in his breeches every time he put his knife

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>back in his pocket. Now, I'm sure she had plenty

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of soul and to do without fixing his clothes every

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>time he got finished skin in a mess of squirrel.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>So he invented the folding pocket knife and marital bliss.

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And for at least twenty six hundred years, a man

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that was prepared and ready to be a man has

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>toaded a pocket knife. And just think six hundred and

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>one years after he invented it, say around one ad,

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I bet he was the most popular dad in Austria

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>when the tales of him setting around the tree cutting

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>ribbons off of Christmas presents quicker than a hiccup way

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to gold Man in Austria. You, sir, are a legend. Now.

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're not prepared to answer the call when your

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>wife hollers for you cut something for I wonder about

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>your priorities and her judgment. At the beginning of our marriage,

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Alexis would say, Brent, do you have your knife? And

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>my answer would usually reference a question about a bear's

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>wilderness bathroom habits. Now years later, as she celebrates daily

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>her lottery like husband, when it's a simple honey, cut

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>this for me and bam, the deed is done. I'm

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>always ready. A pocket knife can protect your family, skin

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>your supper, help you build a shelter, open the package,

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>perform surgery. The possible uses are endless when you need

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>one and have it, life is golden when you need

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>one and don't. There's not a more helpless feeling. This

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.959
<v Speaker 1>is normally where I chunk in a story about how

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I got in a bind one time and needed a

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 1>knife and didn't have one. I can't do that, you

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>know why, because I ain't never been with that one,

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>except when we go to airports, concerts and different places

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>now where you can't. I can't tell you how many

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>times I'll pat my pocket for the knife that ain't there,

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and the short lived panic that startles me till I

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>realized I didn't bring it with me on purpose, Which

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>reminds me of a time when me and Clay Nukem

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>were catching a flight out of Northwest Arkansas. We were

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 1>headed for British Columbia on a bear hunt, and it's

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>not a big airport, but the security folks there are

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>just as observant and dedicated to doing their job and

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 1>making things safe for all of us. Fortunately, we were

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>in Arkansas and not some big city airport. When the

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>X ray man found the skinning knife and clay Bow's

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>carry on, Apparently our clothes and our gear leaned more

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>toward a couple of hunters than a couple of fellows

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>with nefarious intentions. We called Misty and she came and

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>picked up the knife. The TSA guy was cool about it. Besides,

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>we had several others legally packed and secured in our luggage.

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>We wound up not needing the skin a knife anyway,

0:09:55.679 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's a different story. All right. Pocket knife covered

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that one pretty well, at least till we get to

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the other pocket. But until we do, what else is

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>in the old right front pocket? Chapstick? Now here's a

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>disclaimer down here. We call lip bomb chapstick, regardless of

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the brand, but we never call it lip bomb. Hey,

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't make the rules. I just live bomb. That's

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.839
<v Speaker 1>the end of the disclaimer. Chapstick. Not much you can

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>say about that. Sure you can. You can dive it

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>on a cut to help stop bleeding. You can use

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it to moisturize dry skin. Heck, you can even use

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>it to help with building a fire and keep you

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>from having chapped lips. My dad told me a joke

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid about an old cowboy that

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.719
<v Speaker 1>rode into town from out on the range. Instead of

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>rushing into the sloan to get him a cold drink,

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>he hitched his horse up and pulled a brush out

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>of his saddle and started brushing itself off. The mayor

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of the town was watching him as the cowboy cleaned

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>up as best he could, straightened his clothes, washed his

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>hands in the trough, and tucked his shirt in. The

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>mayor was impressed and started walking toward him and welcomed

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>him to the town. When the cowboy walked around to

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the back of the horse, poked his finger and the

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>horses behind, and rubbed it on his lips. The mayor

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 1>was shocked, but he welcomed him anyway, and he said,

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you cleaning up when you got here. We

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>got a lovely little town and we want to keep

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>it that way. But man, I only got one question.

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Why did you poke your horses behind and rub it

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>on your lips. The old cowboy looked at him and said,

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 1>my lips are chapped. And the mayor said, oh, is

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>that cure? And the cowboy said no, but it keeps

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>me from licking them and making it worse. Told some

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.959
<v Speaker 1>chapstick with you. It's smaller than a horse, cheaper to feed,

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and there's no bad aftertaste. The right front pocket is done,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.199
<v Speaker 1>So what's an old lefty? The loner pocket nowe life,

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a buckeye and a sack at your wheel one dollar coin.

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>The loner knife is for your friend that doesn't carry one,

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>but finds himself in the need of one on occasion,

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>which is the very reason you tote one to begin with.

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>And if he doesn't tote one, he ain't got enough

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 1>sense not to use your good one in a manner

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that it wasn't designed. All these things I'm about to

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>say now go slap out the window, and in its emergency,

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>when it's life and death, nothing else matters. However, when

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 1>it ain't and you need a wire cut, a screw tightened,

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>or a prie bar, don't look at me and ask

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to borrow my pocket knife. It's something to be respected,

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>taken care of, maintained, and sharpened regularly, because a dull

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>one is of no service to anyone. Now, I'm not

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>going to tell you what the brand of my loaner

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>pocket knife is because it don't matter. It ain't a case.

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a well made pocket knife, I assure you. But

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about what's in my pockets and what I

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>like the best. You may hate case pocking knives and

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>like something totally different. I don't care. That's fine with me.

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>But you ought to be in jail if you do.

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Just kidding, not really. What about that sack of jewee

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a one dollar coin, Well, I can tell you it

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 1>was minted in two thousand. Monetarily it's worth whatever a

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>DOLLARBI value. But my wife gave it to me. And

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know whose sack of jewel is, do

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 1>yourself a favor and look her up. Or better yet,

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>read Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose. That book is thicker

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>than a cathead biscuit, but worth the effort and just

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>dis ease to digest. She was an invaluable guide and

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>interpreter that helped Louis and Clark find their way across

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the wilderness and back when our country was young and

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.199
<v Speaker 1>we didn't know our behinds from fifteen cents about anything

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>west to Saint Louis. The coin serves as a symbol

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>from my wife to me that when i'm out on

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>a hunt or a long journey, I can always find

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>my way home. She's my sackage will. She's a whole

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>lot more, but she's not much on skin and stuff though,

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and I have a feeling of sacage weel was. Anyway,

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:10.319
<v Speaker 1>That's why I told it the buckeye. If you've listened

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to any of the Bear Grease Render podcast you may

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.959
<v Speaker 1>have heard me mention it. I'll tell you about this

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>particular one in a minute. First, I want to talk

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>about why you'd have one. To begin with. Esculus pavia,

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>commonly referred to as the red buckeye, that is the

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>most prominent variety of the two known grown to Arkansas.

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>It produces a nut, which is actually the seed, and

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it grows in a pod that matures in late summer. Now,

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>folks have been toting them in their pockets for luck

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>for generations. There's an old said that when you'll never

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>find a dead man with a buck eye in his pocket. Now.

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's because you don't find a

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of dead men laying around, or because it wouldn't

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 1>be too cool to peel for through their clothes if

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you did. My family, close friends and I would give

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>them to each other as tokens of good luck for hunting.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm whare and our family's passed. It was dictated that

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>one hunter had to give it to another for it

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to work. You couldn't just find one and put it

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>in your pocket and reap the benefits. That ain't how

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 1>that works now. I'm not superstitious at all. I just

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>firmly believe that if I was to lose the one

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I got in my pocket, that I wouldn't never have

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>another successful hunt. The one I have I've been caring

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>for close to ten years, and it means a lot

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>to me. First time I met Old Clay Bow, he'd

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>asked me to come film a bear hunt for him

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Washtaw Mountains in Arkansas. He and the majority

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>of his youngest took me around where he grew up hunting,

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and we wound up on a mountain in the area

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and I saw a buckeye bush. I told him the

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 1>story of how my family traded him back and forth

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and handed him one, and in return, he gave one

0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to me. I'm still toting it to this day, and

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I have every day since that hunt nearly ten years ago.

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Clay's always amazed when he asked about it, and I

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>take it out of my pocket and show it to me.

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 1>He told me he lost the one I gave him

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>before we got off the mountain that day. He didn't

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>kill a bear that year either. Aincidence well, never know

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>for sure, but no, absolutely not a coincident. In the

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>bill of my overalls on the right side, I carried

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>my billfold, all my folded money. Inside that bill fold

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>is a five centennial quarter, a quarter minuted in nineteen

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy six. My dad had jars full of them, so,

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>along with everything else that's part of my uniform, I

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>told one of those in remembrance of him. Until I

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>started thinking about all my everyday carry items to tell

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you all about. I've never really seen how much connection

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>there was to the members of my family who passed away,

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>but now I do, and talking about each one of

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>them makes me smile. I've always fancied a good pocket watch,

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and on one Father's Day, my wife and little girl

0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Bailey gave me one. It came all the way from London, England,

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and it keeps time like a man possessed. It has

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>a decorative silver coon attached to a short chain on

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the other end that hangs on the outside of the

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.879
<v Speaker 1>bill by overalls. Now for all those that have a

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>pair of overalls, real overalls, and you never quite figured

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 1>out what that slit was above the bill of the

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>pockets and the small hidden pockets sewn into the scene

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 1>on the bib. If you didn't know what that was for,

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>stand by for news. It's for your pocket watch chain

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and your pocket watch. The watch is obviously for telling time,

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>but the fob tells everyone a little bit about you.

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.119
<v Speaker 1>It makes a statement without making one. I like to

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think that when folks see mind It, they see a

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>country boy that's proud of where he came from, proud

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>of the folks he raised him, and even more proud

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to share these stories. Thank you so much for listening.

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>If you like it, share it with your friends. Maybe

0:17:55.240 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 1>they'll like it too. And hey, beat the system, fucking knights.

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Keep the good one for yourself along the other ones

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 1>to your friends. This is Brent Reeves signing off. Y'all

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 1>be careful
