    On one trip to the Australian outback we drove 13 hours and say only one car.

    It is still amazing how fast it is out there, it is just like an endless horizon. When I was on a trip out of virginia, in the mountains I saw a view of just repeating mountains one after the other as far as the eye can see. It is just amazing when you really think about the geography of the world and how cool it is

    I agree with you on the use of lights! Loved running with lights as a kid. Still love farming at night. We have the same competition as every farm (I think), the first one to turn on lights loses! We also climbed on equipment. As a child I would ride on the fender of open station tractors for hours!! I wouldn’t change any of it for the world!!

    I was born and raised and worked on a dairy farm all my life. Retired now, but still don't sleep more than 5 hours a night. And I can attest to learning to drive a tractor at age 5, and farm kids making their own fun while operating heavy machinery. No more dangerous than city kids crossing the road in traffic.

    An excellent rant on safety. Over the last 30 years there has been a non-stop message on safety, mandatory seat belts, air bags, etc, to the point that many people are afraid to do anything.
    As a kid who grew up on a farm I remember riding on the tailgate of a truck at 60 mph and dragging my shoe to make a skid mark on the pavement. Many kids today would freakout if they had to ride in the bed of a pickup with the tailgate up!

    Well Mike your life and your future👍 I am 63. Grew up as a farm boy. I was big for my age so I was hauling corn in from our Iowa Farm field at 6 years old on our Farmall H. The one compromise, no road gear until I just turned 9. We operated a very safe farm but paced things to level of experience and competence. Not everyone agrees with what a “child” is capable of but when you grow up in it, living it, watching dad & grandpa doing it from 2 on, it is natural to be out performing the work with them.

    Hi Mike:
    AWESOME VIDEO!! I am going to re-watch!
    My Grand Parents home stedded in SK in 1908 10 miles north of Moose Jaw. I have a lot of cousins in Regina! They sold the farm in 1921 and moved to Spokane. They immigrated from Norway, and My Grandad helped build the original Lutheran church in Moose Jaw. He was a Deacon in the church. I have an aunt buried in the church cemetary.
    When I was a kid, we did all kinds of neat things (goofy by today's standards), but we were farm kids! When I was in grade school, we were taught how to use and RESPECT fire arms, and we took our .22's to school, and shot ground squirel's on the way. We got 3 cents a tail! The teacher had a special corner in the school where we stored them! No body, BUT no BODY, abused the rule's, and when I went to Vietnam, I qualified as a NAVY sniper, although I never was used as such!
    Farm kid's are special, and THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!
    The Very BEST WISHES, AND GOD BLESS!
    Gary
