Thanks for coming along on that journey! I'll have a live stream next Sunday where we'll talk about all things Amish, I'll also have a chance to answer many of your questions. If you haven't watched the Amish series here it is: czcams.com/play/PLE.html...
I am a Sikh turbaned guy with uncut hair and beard. I got chance to live in Northern Indiana. There is a place called Mishawaka 4 hours west from Holmes county, OH. There is a Amish Community over there. I use to go to their markets and while on the country roads also I use to see them. Due to my appearance I use to get cold Eye from English but the Amish always use to greet me with smiling face.
Peter Santenello you have the best culture interviews with honest people! More people, even the large networks, should watch and learn from you. Thanks for creating this truthful content!
This is so brilliant. I'd love a series on Native American cultures and the different tribes in different states because they seem so underrepresented: history, food, architecture, clothing, customs, transport, music, rituals etc...
I first got hooked on the Hasidic series and then this one. Now I have binge watched most of your series because you have something special in the way you deliver your work. I hope you stay true to this approach and I wish you much success.đđ
Same for me - started watching with the Hasidic series. Peter is an outstanding individual, that's obvious from the sense of integrity and respect he imparts. I think I'll quit watching the evening news (mostly have already) - and just watch Peter. Feeling happier and more well informed already...
The way new technologies seem to completely dominate society (smartphones, cars, internet), and the lack of community in modern societies, I think the Amish are on to something.
@@brainache555 I think people would see you say something like that and assume you're crazy, but you really are right. There are vested interests in averting our attention away from each other and onto our devices. The main benefactors are Google, Facebook, and Amazon.
My grandparents left the old-order Amish church, and established a new Beachy congregation in the 1950's. One of the other brethren in this new start-up church made a comment on switching from buggies to cars. Before the switch, he thought that cars would improve his ability to visit his friends, since he could just hop in and go, and be there in a few minutes. In reality, he found himself visiting his friends much less often. He couldn't explain it, other than life got much busier when he started driving a car.
I DO NOT want this series to end. For me, by far the most fascinating journey to date. I can't help but think there is so much more to share. But...I so respect these amazing people that maybe, it's best the series does end.
I used to feel likewise until I started to read about the sexual abuse of children and the puppy mills :-( I admire them in a very general and overly-romantized way. Much of the population has great values. But the one study of a young woman who started to be violated at a very young age and later counted 200 acts against her - my gosh, no wonder she fled her Old Amish community the minute she could escape.
@@mizkitty472 It is reality, sadly. School teachers, employers, employees, family members, etc. No surprise to hear about an isolated case(s) in the Amish community. Never really heard about the puppy mill stuff, but it does indeed seem to be a thing.
@@mizkitty472 They are just like any other group of people. They have their good points and bad points. Personally I don't care much for the Amish because many in my area marry their close cousins. Healthcare providers in this area have told us they have many health problems relating to that. I just can't support or like that. I still think they are fascinating to learn about.
It's not about having my mind blowin'. It about the amazing sacrifice, dedication, and The Amish's daily lifestyle choices that manifests and reassures their commitment to the Son of God, and the Savior of all mankind.
Congrats on this series, Peter. It really demonstrated your unique journalistic qualities and strengths to be able to keep a foot firmly planted on either side of the storyboard and it's arc. I'm from Amish country there in Ohio and have always mused, personally, as a writer, how challenging it would be to present this culture and it's seemingly infinite levels of nuance and subtle inter-social minutia while doing justice to both the subject and the audience at large. You absolutely delivered a caliber journalistic opus here. (Straw) hats off!
As a Native man, seeing how they integrated themselves and their communities is fascinating. Their strict and relaxed ways mirror our own and i would say, aside from their religious mentality, they operate as a tribal unit.
I discovered some Native American traditions a few months ago (Iâm not American), and I fell in love with native traditions like the herbs and the clean, organic gardening. I wish a native would teach us about all that. Medicinal herbs and stuff. Iâve found a few CZcams channels on this topic before, but nothing I really loved. Could you make one or recommend an existing channel to me? I order special tea blends from a group of native girls in the USA, and they always smell clean, and strong and like they actually heal. đ
I came to this series having first watched the one where he interviews a Crow on a reservation. The guy was so refreshing to listen too and I agree with your comment here. I can see a lot of crossover. On a personal level it was the work ethic that really got me thinking. The Crow guy said that it was the duty of a man to go and provide food for the children, and if he can't do this then he isn't living up to his responsibility (my phrasing). Then these Amish have a similar approach. They work hard, harder than needed in the modern world yet it's about this inter family support network, like a tribe. Great content, really thought provoking.
Is it weird of me to want to see a reality show of the two worlds colliding? đ not colliding in a negative way or just to ogle them, but Iâd be very interested to see the reactions people from each community has during and after interacting with people from the other if that makes sense. Iâm sure some of the more progressive Amish have found some of the other cultures through his channel and Iâm curious to know how they react to all of them, but especially the Hasidic Jews because, as an outsider, they seem very similar (at least on Friday and Saturday nights!) Hope this comment wasnât offensive to anyone. I just find cross culture interactions very interesting
What impresses me is how beautifully kept and taken care of their properties are. No junk cars. No old tires. No trash. If only the rest of the country lived like that.
Love these videos, keep in mind that 100 years ago this was the face of most of the world! Smaller, rural, community based, simple. I find it quite sad that we have lost our roots in the face of industrialization and progress.
@@ModusPwnens72 i would say humanity to a certain degree, empathy for our fellow man and some of our connections to the world we live in, don't get me wrong like you said progress has been made but things are skewed and i emotionally don't feel good about that.
I am not so sad that modern society at least gives most women the possibility to report child abuse and rape. In these societies, this is a festering problem that is not spoken out nor discussed.
@Hailey Hedland So.... there's good side and bad side to everywhere. He also said they have their problems with selfish drug addicts and selfish drunks that constantly hurt their loved ones and community just like everywhere
Watching the Amish series reminds me of my childhood. I was a kid in the '90s-2000. I grew up in a village in East Europe. I did not have tv, utilities, internet, or a car. Most of the people were using horses with carriages. My life consisted of working the land and going(walking)to school.đ€Ł We did have electricity, a well, a wood stove, and the toilet was outside.
It would be awesome for you to do a series on small town conservative American. Really the culture that dominates most of the country outside of the big cities.
I respect all people following moral principles, being it Amish or other groups. Our mainstream culture and media almost completely avoid talking about what's right-wrong, what moral standard to follow. And by the way you can notice how Amish people are also environment-friendly, as a side effect.
"Our mainstream culture and media almost completely avoid talking about what's right-wrong," And when they do it's oral relativism when they support an action and then all of a sudden they resort to a more firm moral framework when rejecting actions and thoughts they don't like.
Didn't know such interesting stories existed in my backyard. Spent time throughout Latin America and vlogging my journey but this is awesome and worth exploring
Great series! The Amish/Mennonite communities are some of the best communities in this entire country. Overwhelmingly decent people as a whole, something that seems to be on the downslide in major portions of our country.
You've done a great thing with this series. You're very respectful, and you're open and honest with the content you put out about the Amish. You're not portraying them to be any less human than the rest of us which I feel like is a hard line to follow. Anyone else might have been overly negative about their portrayal or gone the opposite direction and over emphasized the positive while ignoring the fact they're society has problems too.
@@5ringsaudits Yes we are!!! Even the most hyper-religious who spend their days scolding everyone else claiming they're sin-free or get a free pass for bowing to a book.
I have been to Amish Country PA many times - Love the Amish people. No one bakes better and their farms are pristine. I have nothing negative to say about these people. I do feel sorry for them when they are on the roads in their buggies and cars are whizzing around them, it looks pretty scary. I have enjoyed this video series on the Amish a lot. Thank you for doing it!
Peter, I had not heard about you or your channel until about 2 weeks ago a close friend recommended this series. This was excellent! I watched with great interest because all of my family roots are from the Amish, Beachy, & Mennonite (Indiana & Illinois based & Pinecraft/Sarasota, FL). In the past, I watched productions which may have been well produced but greatly mischaracterized the community or saw productions (usually from ex community members) who "got" the community but it was produced poorly so as to never attract much of an audience. This was really well produced, but much more importantly, your respectfulness gave you access to the communities in ways that show you really captured it. I live in TX now and very few of my friends know much of anything about the Amish/Beachy/Mennonites except for mischaracterizations because they aren't really around my area. I can show them this and know their getting an authentic snippet. Knowing you did this series so well, I'm really excited to start your other series to learn about other communities-THANK YOU!
There is a lot to learn from the Amish, by connecting us on the internet, we disconnect ourselves from the world outside our door. That is a fact. I appreciate you Peter, your insight is worth more than gold, and you are such a nice and respectful person, that goes a long way. Big thumbs up from Norway.
Bro Iâm hooked I love how you showing off the diversity in America! Canât wait to see more communities keep doing what you doing and show the world how america really is!
A lot of people do not realize media (including radio by voice and TV by costless radio antenna now, including news) is so narrow of a point of view, even amish. You have to listen to every person you can, and then you will see the world is much more than just what the advertised media tells you, and 'documents'. Much respect Peter and the Amish.
Reading the comments, it looks like most people find a lot of the lifestyle of the Amish desirable. There is no reason we can't have a "Amish" like lifestyle, we just choose not to.
"cottagecore" is a popular aesthetic to millenials romanticizing the simple, coutry life. Too bad it's shallow and doesnt go beyond pinterest or instagram. A few millenials would try to buy more checkered blankets, try to buy organic, and bake pie. But for some reason it doesnt go beyond that. For anyone who wasnt raised in amish/country culture, it seems like to much work.. And our phones are like a drug
I think the off grid is pretty similar to Amish but A mistake I think some people make is that they do not have community. Id like a co op/farm steady community where small farmers working together and helping each other.
We could, but how many of us could give up our creature comforts and technology? I like the idea of simple living but I wouldn't be able to commit to it personally.
@@duouk2000 That's a good point... I work in the tech sector and would find it very difficult to adjust. The appeal of this lifestyle is still very strong to me though.
Absolutely loved this series on the Amish. I've learned so much more about their culture and have a new respect for them. Your interactions have helped me see they aren't as standoffish as I had thought, and when I encounter the Amish I will feel more willing to say hi or to engage in a friendly conversation. Thank you for opening my eyes to more wonderful people of this world. We are all different but we are all human.
This series has been amazing and such an eye-opener! Iâm so happy to watch this and become more educated about it because the Amish community has always been such a mystery itâs so intriguing! Take care! From the land down under đŠđș
Peter, thank you so much for showing us so many different cultures from so many different parts of the world from a very open and unfiltered view! Great channel!
This series was absolutely fantastic, thanks to the Amish for letting us see their world, and thanks to you Peter for bringing it to us in a way that no one else could. Amazing work.
I have watch all your Amish series. I really loved it. I have always wanted to go to the Amish country. I am disabled and what you have recorded is my only way to learn more about the Amish. So, I want to thank you very much for this series. Be safe & God Bless you & your family.
Absolutely OUTSTANDING. I will totally try to visit a community one day and purchase their products or support them in any other way I can. That fundraiser could have an online aspect that people could contribute to; it's such a wonderful cause
Thank you so much Peter Santenello! I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of these amazing videos. I have followed since the beginning and have watched each one. It's so exciting to get an alert when you have new content to share. I have been absolutely intrigued by the Amish People. You shining light on their community is such a fresh breath of air. Thank you so much for what you do. I enjoy your other videos as well and look forward to your upcoming docs on the Muslim community. Please keep doing what you do đ†Take good care and your wife is beautiful!
This has been such a wonderful series. I'm going to miss these Amish folks! I'm struck by how tidy everything is in the community. I believe that speaks volumes. Thanks for bringing this to us!
Thank you so much for making this Amish series. This was totally amazing and I live in Northern Kentucky and see Amish wagons and ppl all the time and now I know how to identify the Schwarzentrubers from the Old world, New world, and partially the Beachy Amish. This was a great set of videos and you are a FANTASTIC Videographer! Im a lifetime subscriber to you. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
I've earned so much from this series, thank you so much Peter. The amish are wonderful people and very human. I'd love it if you'd do a similar series on the Mormons later
Thank you for sharing this! I learned so much about the Amish, and love how respectful you are to their culture. You are a true and wonderful journalist! So refreshing :)
This has been my favourite series you've done, by far! I hope you revisit the Amish again at some point, to catch up on their lives đ. Thanks for the amazing insight into the Amish community đđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż
OhhhhhâŠ..donât say itâs over!!!! The videos brought me so much peace and gratitude to all of us who celebrate diversity and understanding the connection between us of all.
This and the series on the Hasidim were my two favorite series that you have done. I have learned so much from both. How you manage to get into these communities to the extent that you do is amazing. Thanks for all your insights and hard work.
Iâm a Muslim and I think this is a beautiful community. I have a lot of respect for them. May God bless them all and bless you for taking time out to understand them and teach us about learning from each other đ
Peter you just shared the secret of life, treat others with the respect you hope to get. And if you do not get it just walk away and pray (or wish good thoughts for them) and help out your neighbors and community. I really love the "No handout's" way of life. Work for it and help those that need to help and it will make your life a lot better...
@@5ringsaudits because some people donât and that is not my problem. I worry more about being a good person and making someone elseâs life a little better by being a good human⊠everyone gets there in their own time
Thanks for showing us this very informative,intriguing series! I have not seen an insight into the amish lives here in ohio since vanilla ice did his amish series a few years ago. Hopefully one day,you will do a followup with the holmes county amish! Thanks again!!!
I loved this series! The swartzentruber name is so fitting. It sounds like the last level you have to fight to become Amish lol. "Final level defeat the swartzentruber" đź
iâm a wee obsessed with your videos. they are amazing and give an unbiased and open-minded glimpse into cultures different than the mainstream. i appreciate your mention of the puppy mill problem in amish communities and wondered why youâd overlooked that part. thanks for all your informative videos. keep em coming.
Absolutely enjoyed this series thoroughly and learned so much about the Amish and their culture. Thank you for this and especially being a respectful person throughout all your series.
Thank you for this wonderful series! Very respectful portrayal of the Holmes County Amish. We are just two hours away from there and we love visiting often!
Thank you for the series. It has been the most informative and best one about Amish culture. I live in Ohio about an hour from where you were and it is a beautiful area. We went up there for the first time back in the spring and will be going back more and more. It really is a wonderful place with very nice people. I think your series help to clear up quite a few myths and educate. I know I learned a lot and I cannot wait until I am back up there to see how much I have learned. Also, I can't wait to go to Boyd's for some of that pie. Thanks again and look forward to more from you.
This was SUCH a great series. LOVE IT... It was so pure and wonderful, and positive. My family lives in Amish country in WI, and you are dead on in your portrayal. Well done... Sad to see the end of this series! Much love and blessings from WI!
I absolutely love the takes you make on different ways of life. Keep it up.. As to the Amish, I personally think we are all moving towards their way of life to be honest. I am not talking about the religious aspect, but about the self reliance, off grid, homestead, regenerative farming now shooting up all over the world.. (maybe a new project for your channel, hint hint).. And a big thankyou and respect to the Amish community who took you in and were able to show parts of their life and let us feel closer and understand them better.
We can not live the Amish life style no matter how we try because everything they do is rooted in the Christian concept of loving God and loving neighbor.
I agree with moving towards self reliance and off-grid Almost everyone I know is talking about it and yes many have started on their journey to it....this year and last year. People getting off the couch and being outside more. Could lead to a trimmer society
@Outsider "I personally think we are all moving towards their way of life...self reliance, off grid, homestead, regenerative farming...". uh. no. 1/2+ of the country is headed in exactly the opposite direction with a greater reliance on government.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series! Refreshing to watch someone so respectful, honest, and open to learning about such different cultures. I look forward to your next adventures!
What a great series that I've stumbled upon when I'm researching for my human geography class (we are on a chapter discussing pop and folk culture). Played the first video and my students cannot get enough of it and even subscribed immediately. Thanks for showing us the diverse Amish world that has often been heavily stereotyped.
Probably my favorite series to date! Like many others, I was drawn by your Jewish content and binged many others. Thank you for such insightful content and respectful delivery. Considering the world we live in, this series provides a peaceful insight that's so refreshing. Please keep up the good work!
Love your work, and this series was especially close to me. I use to live close to Lancaster and spent a lot of time in the community. Had dinner in their homes, slept in a Amish home, and had custom furniture built by many. You did an excellent job, and they knew they had an excellent reporter doing this series. Thanks for sharing it all, and cant wait to see what is next. Thanks so much, Peter.

@@youtubesucks898 I never said I hate the Amish? Why do you think that without asking me first?
This series...I enjoyed a ton! In a way, I'm sad that it's over. I could watch several more of the Amish videos.
I have been to Amish Country PA many times - Love the Amish people. No one bakes better and their farms are pristine. I have nothing negative to say about these people. I do feel sorry for them when they are on the roads in their buggies and cars are whizzing around them, it looks pretty scary. I have enjoyed this video series on the Amish a lot. Thank you for doing it!
Peter, I had not heard about you or your channel until about 2 weeks ago a close friend recommended this series. This was excellent! I watched with great interest because all of my family roots are from the Amish, Beachy, & Mennonite (Indiana & Illinois based & Pinecraft/Sarasota, FL). In the past, I watched productions which may have been well produced but greatly mischaracterized the community or saw productions (usually from ex community members) who "got" the community but it was produced poorly so as to never attract much of an audience. This was really well produced, but much more importantly, your respectfulness gave you access to the communities in ways that show you really captured it. I live in TX now and very few of my friends know much of anything about the Amish/Beachy/Mennonites except for mischaracterizations because they aren't really around my area. I can show them this and know their getting an authentic snippet. Knowing you did this series so well, I'm really excited to start your other series to learn about other communities-THANK YOU!
My favorite series Peter! Iâm sad itâs overâ€ïžthank you for sharing this beautiful and inspiring cultuređđœâ€ïžđđœ
I don't want this series to end. There is so much more I want to see and learn and I love how respectful and genuine you were with everyone you met.
There is a lot to learn from the Amish, by connecting us on the internet, we disconnect ourselves from the world outside our door. That is a fact. I appreciate you Peter, your insight is worth more than gold, and you are such a nice and respectful person, that goes a long way. Big thumbs up from Norway.
Glad you made this series! Both of my parents are ex-Amish and I thought you did a very good job showing how they live!
Good job respectful & informative
Just what I needed another Amish video đđđŹđ§
Bro Iâm hooked I love how you showing off the diversity in America! Canât wait to see more communities keep doing what you doing and show the world how america really is!
Such a good series. I donât want it to be over!
I appreciate how respectful you are to other cultures. This was an interesting series. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for producing this series about the Amish. It was done with respect and kindness and it was reflected in the footage. Keep up the good work.
So glad you came to Holmes county Peter. You hit this one out of the park!
A lot of people do not realize media (including radio by voice and TV by costless radio antenna now, including news) is so narrow of a point of view,
even amish. You have to listen to every person you can, and then you
will see the world is much more than just what the advertised media
tells you, and 'documents'. Much respect Peter and the Amish.
I'll miss those stories (and that theme song too)! Thanks.
Reading the comments, it looks like most people find a lot of the lifestyle of the Amish desirable. There is no reason we can't have a "Amish" like lifestyle, we just choose not to.
"cottagecore" is a popular aesthetic to millenials romanticizing the simple, coutry life. Too bad it's shallow and doesnt go beyond pinterest or instagram. A few millenials would try to buy more checkered blankets, try to buy organic, and bake pie. But for some reason it doesnt go beyond that. For anyone who wasnt raised in amish/country culture, it seems like to much work.. And our phones are like a drug
I think the off grid is pretty similar to Amish but A mistake I think some people make is that they do not have community. Id like a co op/farm steady community where small farmers working together and helping each other.
@@Noodlepunk very true, communities can be found /built.
We could, but how many of us could give up our creature comforts and technology? I like the idea of simple living but I wouldn't be able to commit to it personally.
@@duouk2000 That's a good point... I work in the tech sector and would find it very difficult to adjust. The appeal of this lifestyle is still very strong to me though.
Absolutely loved this series on the Amish. I've learned so much more about their culture and have a new respect for them. Your interactions have helped me see they aren't as standoffish as I had thought, and when I encounter the Amish I will feel more willing to say hi or to engage in a friendly conversation. Thank you for opening my eyes to more wonderful people of this world. We are all different but we are all human.
Great video man. You inspired a lot of the ideas on my channel.
Iâve watched the series on Amish. Itâs so awesome such a tight knit community deeply rooted & hard working. Thank you for sharing Peter
This series has been amazing and such an eye-opener! Iâm so happy to watch this and become more educated about it because the Amish community has always been such a mystery itâs so intriguing!
Take care! From the land down under đŠđș
Peter, thank you so much for showing us so many different cultures from so many different parts of the world from a very open and unfiltered view! Great channel!
This series was absolutely fantastic, thanks to the Amish for letting us see their world, and thanks to you Peter for bringing it to us in a way that no one else could. Amazing work.
I have watch all your Amish series. I really loved it. I have always wanted to go to the Amish country. I am disabled and what you have recorded is my only way to learn more about the Amish.
So, I want to thank you very much for this series.
Be safe & God Bless you & your family.
Absolutely OUTSTANDING. I will totally try to visit a community one day and purchase their products or support them in any other way I can. That fundraiser could have an online aspect that people could contribute to; it's such a wonderful cause
I've really loved this series on the Amish . Ty
Thank you so much Peter Santenello! I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of these amazing videos. I have followed since the beginning and have watched each one. It's so exciting to get an alert when you have new content to share. I have been absolutely intrigued by the Amish People. You shining light on their community is such a fresh breath of air. Thank you so much for what you do. I enjoy your other videos as well and look forward to your upcoming docs on the Muslim community. Please keep doing what you do đ†Take good care and your wife is beautiful!
I love how throughout the series you look more and more Amish
Best content maker out there !!! I watch all your stuffâŠ.RESPECT!!!! Keep up the good work! GOD BLESS
YOUR FRIENDS FROM

This has been such a wonderful series. I'm going to miss these Amish folks! I'm struck by how tidy everything is in the community. I believe that speaks volumes. Thanks for bringing this to us!
Thank you so much for making this Amish series. This was totally amazing and I live in Northern Kentucky and see Amish wagons and ppl all the time and now I know how to identify the Schwarzentrubers from the Old world, New world, and partially the Beachy Amish. This was a great set of videos and you are a FANTASTIC Videographer! Im a lifetime subscriber to you. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
In an outside world where everyone seemingly feels entitled to whatever they want, what I was most impressed by is their humility.
I have enjoyed this series immensely! Thank you Pater đ
Yes Peter.
I love your vlogs, Peter!!! Keep it up. I'm learning a lot about the Amish people because of you.:)
I'm so going to miss your visits in Amish country. Very enjoyable. Thank you!
I will miss this Amish series. I hope you return to it in the future.
I've earned so much from this series, thank you so much Peter. The amish are wonderful people and very human.
I'd love it if you'd do a similar series on the Mormons later
I really enjoyed this series on the Amish.
This series was fantastic, loved it more than I can put into words. Well done!
Thank you for sharing this! I learned so much about the Amish, and love how respectful you are to their culture. You are a true and wonderful journalist! So refreshing :)
This has been my favourite series you've done, by far!
I hope you revisit the Amish again at some point, to catch up on their lives đ.
Thanks for the amazing insight into the Amish community đđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż
I thought europeans hate americans
Thanx so much Peter, was a great and extremely interesting series on how the Amish live their lives.
that was an amazing series, beautiful approach of these communities
OhhhhhâŠ..donât say itâs over!!!! The videos brought me so much peace and gratitude to all of us who celebrate diversity and understanding the connection between us of all.
Thank you for your hard work Peter, this shit is really opened my eyesâŠ
This and the series on the Hasidim were my two favorite series that you have done. I have learned so much from both. How you manage to get into these communities to the extent that you do is amazing. Thanks for all your insights and hard work.
Thank you Peter!!!!
the Amish series and the Hasidim series where amazing, hope you keep meeting new interesting cultures and people for us to enjoy .
Iâm a Muslim and I think this is a beautiful community. I have a lot of respect for them. May God bless them all and bless you for taking time out to understand them and teach us about learning from each other đ
Peter you just shared the secret of life, treat others with the respect you hope to get. And if you do not get it just walk away and pray (or wish good thoughts for them) and help out your neighbors and community. I really love the "No handout's" way of life. Work for it and help those that need to help and it will make your life a lot better...
Why the parentheses after PRAY? Prayer works and Jesus is coming soon... Repent if you want to live forever in paradise...
@@5ringsaudits because some people donât and that is not my problem. I worry more about being a good person and making someone elseâs life a little better by being a good human⊠everyone gets there in their own time
Thanks for showing us this very informative,intriguing series! I have not seen an insight into the amish lives here in ohio since vanilla ice did his amish series a few years ago. Hopefully one day,you will do a followup with the holmes county amish! Thanks again!!!
I loved this series! The swartzentruber name is so fitting. It sounds like the last level you have to fight to become Amish lol. "Final level defeat the swartzentruber" đź
iâm a wee obsessed with your videos. they are amazing and give an unbiased and open-minded glimpse into cultures different than the mainstream. i appreciate your mention of the puppy mill problem in amish communities and wondered why youâd overlooked that part. thanks for all your informative videos. keep em coming.
The amish christians so why would they be cruel to animals when bible says not to be cruel to animals.
How in the hell has peter not hit 1 million subs yet!?
not sure. i hope PBS or netflix don't knock on his door. i prefer he remain his own boss. it seems to be working.
@@sophiemorrison9820 PBS and netflix are very liberal and they twist amish beliefs into a negative.
It was a great chance to see your Amish episodes . I am from Egypt and man , this was so interesting . Thank you
Thanks for the insight Peter. Great series. Have a whole new respect for the Amish community.
Can i just say, this is in some positive sense similar to the people of the Arabian peninsula (UAE,Bahrain,Oman,Saudi).
Tight knit family life.
Absolutely enjoyed this series thoroughly and learned so much about the Amish and their culture. Thank you for this and especially being a respectful person throughout all your series.
I wish this series was waaaay longer.
This has been great to watch.
Thank's, Peter!
Pete THANK YOU I learned more from your series on the Amish than the last 40 years on TV. đđ
Thank you for this wonderful series! Very respectful portrayal of the Holmes County Amish. We are just two hours away from there and we love visiting often!
Thank you for the series. It has been the most informative and best one about Amish culture. I live in Ohio about an hour from where you were and it is a beautiful area. We went up there for the first time back in the spring and will be going back more and more. It really is a wonderful place with very nice people. I think your series help to clear up quite a few myths and educate. I know I learned a lot and I cannot wait until I am back up there to see how much I have learned. Also, I can't wait to go to Boyd's for some of that pie. Thanks again and look forward to more from you.
Thank you. Really good series. Every minute I learned something new I had never imagined.
This was SUCH a great series. LOVE IT... It was so pure and wonderful, and positive. My family lives in Amish country in WI, and you are dead on in your portrayal. Well done... Sad to see the end of this series! Much love and blessings from WI!
I absolutely love the takes you make on different ways of life. Keep it up.. As to the Amish, I personally think we are all moving towards their way of life to be honest. I am not talking about the religious aspect, but about the self reliance, off grid, homestead, regenerative farming now shooting up all over the world.. (maybe a new project for your channel, hint hint).. And a big thankyou and respect to the Amish community who took you in and were able to show parts of their life and let us feel closer and understand them better.
We can not live the Amish life style no matter how we try because everything they do is rooted in the Christian concept of loving God and loving neighbor.
I agree with moving towards self reliance and off-grid
Almost everyone I know is talking about it and yes many have started on their journey to it....this year and last year.
People getting off the couch and being outside more. Could lead to a trimmer society
@Outsider "I personally think we are all moving towards their way of life...self reliance, off grid, homestead, regenerative farming...". uh. no. 1/2+ of the country is headed in exactly the opposite direction with a greater reliance on government.
Great series ! I learned so much. Thank you.
This is when CZcams is at its best. Thank you for this. Iâve never enjoyed anything better here. Youâre a remarkable documentary filmmaker.
Thank you for explaining the Amish. Entire new insight.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series! Refreshing to watch someone so respectful, honest, and open to learning about such different cultures. I look forward to your next adventures!
What a great series that I've stumbled upon when I'm researching for my human geography class (we are on a chapter discussing pop and folk culture). Played the first video and my students cannot get enough of it and even subscribed immediately. Thanks for showing us the diverse Amish world that has often been heavily stereotyped.
Probably my favorite series to date! Like many others, I was drawn by your Jewish content and binged many others. Thank you for such insightful content and respectful delivery. Considering the world we live in, this series provides a peaceful insight that's so refreshing. Please keep up the good work!
Love your work, and this series was especially close to me. I use to live close to Lancaster and spent a lot of time in the community. Had dinner in their homes, slept in a Amish home, and had custom furniture built by many. You did an excellent job, and they knew they had an excellent reporter doing this series. Thanks for sharing it all, and cant wait to see what is next. Thanks so much, Peter.
