Them ladies are real lady-like.

enjoyed viewing this event with you *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED*

Yellow corn is totally FARB. Only white corn exisisted during the 1860's. Also did you bring along enough stuff??? Age of "FARBY"

Were you in Jacksonville, Florida?

This was really enjoyable! Thanks!

Thank you for posting this video. I consider reenactors as living historians. They are invaluable in passing on information about both the home front and the battlefront.

5:45 Some men are truly out-standing in their field. ("Bazinga"!!!)

awsome

lol :)

You are so cool! sugoi desu ;)

Great philosophy video! We should do an overnighter some time and chat around the campfire over some beer, I'm in Jax.

What are you Majored/Minored in?

Hello! I am in Jacksonville and also applying for JET (but the 2012 year)! ^_^

@BreatheDeepSeekPeace I totally agree with this guy. I was in JET for 5 years and you are more stable and articulate than a vast majority of the folks that I saw come and go.

cool video! the cops must have thought you were either crazy, or wanted to commit suicide... maybe a little of both...

@yeoldehipster That doesn't sell music.

@yeoldehipster That doesn't sell music.

Nice period music at the beginning

Awesome! :D LOL I rm tht picture allie drew,, XD Great video :D ~ Sam o3o

AWESOME VIDEO!!

That is beautiful! It's amazing how you were able to walk under the glacier.

Thanks for making this video and creating this project. It helps Japan and the kids that made the book. Goodluck and I hope everything goes well!

First view is straight outta Japan! That's pretty cool that you started a Japan appreciation club at your school! You should have the kids make their own obentos (お弁当)! Please be careful so as not to create any manga geeks. There are too many of those that feel rejected at home and end up moving here. Can you smell the scorn? :D

I agree with your homey at the restaurant around the 1 minute mark.

@yeoldehipster Hear hear!

@yeoldehipster Too many good quotes from that video. Also, check out the sequal (not as funny) and the car commercial one (in which the last line had me cracking up nonstop for at least one solid minute alone in my house).

This needs more views. Also, nature is neat. (Search YT for "Neature Walk - Episode 1" by 'vicscrappyvideos'. You might not regret it. :D )

wow. love your video. it is so calm and relaxing. i feel like i wanna go camping now. i have never been exposed to too much outdoor stuff. i always wanted to see what it would be like. it must be so awesome to be so close to such amazing nature.

yeah i got rejected too and was feeling really crappy. this video has made me feel sooooooooo much better so thank you for sharing

I say give the man a straw! =)

very educational. i didn't even know this event happens. pretty cool.

Two questions I have: 1.) Cant you simply reapply for JET next year? I wasn't aware it's a one strike and you're out thing. 2.) In the application, did it or did you ever mention any pre-existing Japanese knowledge? I'm curious because I know there is slightly more competition than there was for JET in past years, so maybe a secret to JET's application success is demonstrating preexisting Japanese knowledge? I'm aware knowing Japanese isn't a requirement, but perhaps it's becoming recommended?

Also, what was that "religious" part you mentioned?

I started my YT channel to document (poorly) the JET application process as well. And, like you, I failed to make the cut. HOWEVER, I've been living in Japan for about 10 months now and have come to certain realizations about things that can be realized. In college, I got pretty sick of hearing so many people say "I gotta get out of [insert city or state]! Then, my life will be exciting!" Fortunately, I realized that our lives are what we make them, not the place we're in. Appreciate life. ;)

Yeah Washington State Rocks

Maybe this is good for you. There are other ways to Japan, I did not come through JET. If the experience in Arizona was kinda bad for you Japan may be terrible for you. People often come thinking it's all ninjas and zen to find that they are less enlightened than people you may know back home and just like everyone else they are just normal people working everyday. I have lived here for 4 years and have a Japanese family and I am still just another gaijin. Being Japanese is impossible.

I appreciate your wisdom and ability to introspect your desires and sense of self. Also here in North Florida.

Bummer about JET. But there are other (better) ways to get out here. JET ain't all that! A young japanarchist was also denied by JET back in the day. So? Why not travel for a bit and try to find something? No expectations.

So is this about you wanting to get to Japan? Have you heard of GoGoNihon? If not maybe you should try them - thats if your just trying to get to Japan and live there regardless if you part of JET or any type of program. I'll PM you with a url if your interested. But I mean I'm not sure how easy it would be to get to Japan through GGN.

looks like you have a good attitude about not making it this year into JET. Best of luck with your future plans.
