I'm a well driller, I've done wells from 15ft up to 250 and I appreciate how highly you speak of us drillers, it takes lots of skill to get to where we are at. I use a half of million machine to get this wells done, definetely not an easy job and well all I can say is thank you!
Thank you for the work that you do, I am a carpenter and I feel that white shirts don't understand or appreciate the physical work that we do. It's just done, ready for everyone to use. Because we make it look easy they believe they can question the final bill after initially agreeing to pay that sum. Frustrating most certainly. Deep breaths and a bloody tongue.

At some point, the USA is going to have to figure out _exactly_ what rights people have when they are in publicly-accessible private property, such as an un-fenced front yard, a privately owned park, or someone's social media comment thread. At the moment, publicly-accessible private property is a huge gray area and it causes a lot of confusions and the occasional lawsuit.
Yes. But in 2022 we put ppl like this down. Ppl quick to punch those keys and don't have their own home, life in order at the least. Like all the ppl who caused issues with CPS and the Liver king.

I used to be counsel for a state well drilling agency (as part of the geological survey), and I have a lot of respect for drillers. Not only are there substantial skill requirements, but every single driller I met was concerned with protecting water resources and the quality of the environment. I really enjoyed working with them.
This is a man who knows the value of good workers. When I saw the title I thought I was going to disagree (don't ask why lol) but after the first minute I couldn't agree more.

I had the most original excuse a teacher had ever heard for not getting an assignment done: Our well went dry! We had to move a fence, bushes, decorative wall made out of flat (heavy) stones so that they could get the rig in and drill. They finished kind of late and my dad wanted everything put back. Wranglestar is right about this being a specialized and valuable skill.

Glad you brought up the “thousands of dollars for a days work scam”..im not a well driller but am a carpenter who catches questions all the time about my prices..you pay for what they know as much as the equipment they use
You're not paying an hourly wage because you're not a business owner, you're a customer. For a tradesman to get to the point of where they can fix a problem in 30 minutes requires DECADES of skill and learning. You are paying for all that skill and knowledge gained over decades... not the 30 minutes for repair.
@@Legohaiden you are right, if the customer is a professional ask them if part of the charges, is for the years of college. If yes, ask them if they know that it takes years to learn a good craft! And cost of supplies, truck tools, licence, insurance, etc. Why doesn't anyone respect that the cost of doing business is not just them, but all of us!
My parents spent $18k for a well and pump, well worth paying for the expertise. 5 years of drought and no water within miles, these guys found water at about 120 feet. Now they can grow food and provide water for livestock.
I worked for a small City in Idaho for 34 years. They could not afford any electronic locators for us to use to find our water, sewer, irrigation, phone, gas and power cables when we needed to dig for repairs or installing services. This was the first time I seen this done by the old timer that worked for the City. I thought the guy was nuts and snickered under my breath along with rolling my eyes thinking it was a joke. Time after time he found the lines we were looking for on the money. He was nice enough to teach me the skill on how to do it before he retired in 1978. I used this skill alone for 20 years before we was able to purchase something that was electronic. I still used the witching rods when there wasn't a good signal with the electronics. A doubted then but a believer once taught.
For under one wondering why you can find spots to drill a well with a dowsing rod, it's because water tables are huge. You have a pretty good chance of just finding one by drilling randomly
Id bet that the people whining that you're out of touch for spending 20k on a well (and that they never could) have no problem going out and paying twice that much plus interest for another car that they don't need. Different priorities.
Whiners spend precious dollars by the handful on specialty designer labeled bottled waters, energy drinks, and exotic coffees and teas. When within five years they could have paid for a lifetime property enhancing life sustaining untainted well.
I believe "money shaming" is a form of trolling. I bashed my brother for giving his ex girlfriend £2500 i called it pity money (I'm from the UK) and he bashed me for buying the only olympic weight Plate loaded kettlebell i've ever seen for a more modest £150 claiming ill never use it, i do just not often enough But in both cases we had different priorities. I went to work and put in the hours, so do most people.. Even youtube videos for money is a job, your "employers" are advertisers, if you dont upload people forget about you and u lose contracts and so on So long as people don't steal, use drug money or be fraudulent/scam others to get their money or other illegal methods, its their god given right to spend honest money how they see fit
Complaining never hurt anyone. That being said, to drill a well costs $12k plus here. One that deep would be closer to $20k. Seems like a good deal to me. Not to mention a guy can get survey and geological reports done. Locating the water, in general, is not the problem.
Dowsing is a pseudoscience, and the scientific evidence is that it is no more effective than random chance. Dowsers often achieve good results because random chance has a high probability of finding water in favourable terrain. The motion of dowsing rods is now generally attributed to the ideomotor response. The ideomotor phenomenon is a psychological phenomenon wherein a subject makes motions unconsciously. In less complex terms, dowsing rods only move due to accidental or involuntary movements of the user. -wikipedia

@@ivermec-tin666 The evidence of a great flood doesn't exist. What people seemingly aren't aware of is that many of the people who made the significant early advances in the science of geology were people trying to _prove_ there had been a flood, but the more they looked, the more they had to admit that was not what they were finding, at all. That what they were finding was no evidence of a global flood, and evidence of a very, very, old Earth. The difference between those men and people claiming 'evidence" of a great flood or a young Earth is that those men were honest in what they found, honest in what they reported, and honest with themselves. They didn't lie to themselves and, most importantly, didn't lie to others.
Christianity and science do not disagree with one another. An evolution dialogue needs to be specified insofar as humans or plants. Darwin was wrong and that’s easily proven. To deny a great flood occurred is ignorant with today’s resources.

I can attest to the diving rods working. I have no idea how they work, but they do.I was skeptical until I tried it myself at the advice of an old Uncle. I'm also glad you mentioned the need to be thinking about the item you are in search of, because that makes a difference.
I was heading home form a job site one day and realized I left something behind, so I turned around and went back. When I got back to the job everyone was gone accept the GC and some guy holding those rods out back. I walked over and asked what they were doing. The GC said Hes looking for the water line, and then I watched the guy find the line. Even he said he didn't understand it, but his father taught him and so on. It is real and its crazy.
I can say the back in the 80' in West Virginia (I know, East Coast), A friend was building a home. The well drilling was at $100.00 a foot. The drilling went to close to 300 ft. To me, a small price for water. Pure, untreated. Rock on my friend. Thank you for allowing us a window into your life. Be well my friend
Yeah nobody pays like that... the average well cost 5 to 12 k.. usually 10-25$ ft and in extremely difficult conditions 50$ max.. usually there is a price and depth cap
@@derekinhawaii What was West Virginia a part of at one time? Virginia. Which is an East Coast State. Parts of Virginia are still thinking about breaking off and joining WV as the people in the NW part of the State are more like people in WV than the people over in Richmond.
People love having something to complain about and to put others down. It gives them a sense of power and importance. They're the same people that are afraid to admit they don't know something because they think that will make them look weak, stupid, and less of a man. It's such a, frankly, silly and ignorant mindset.
Those “witch sticks” are a pretty cool concept. I have used them cause I used to work for 811. It’s all about electric magnetic fields. I would hookup a transmitter to a power line and use 2 flag markers to get an idea as to where the line is. Then I would switch back to the locating equipment because that is more accurate. But yeah that whole concept is about electric magnetic fields that move the rods.

@@joeed98 That's the funny thing about Science. It denies absolutely everything until it can propose (and thereby found an industry around) the mechanism. Bear in mind that Science has never gotten around to explaining 'brown' - there's just no dough in that.
@NRG When you successfully clear a minefield with dowsing rods I'll reconsider your claim. Until then I don't suggest anyone try locating buried gas or power lines with witchcraft unless you want to take full financial responsibility for the death or injury of others and or property damage.
Wranglerstar has some of the best, most rational, product reviews I've ever seen, but when he gets to talking about things he believes in...ho boy. Dowsing rods "work" by amplifying tiny changes in a person's posture as their body compensates for walking over uneven ground. Things like buried pipes leave small indentations in the ground, even decades after the work was done; you might not consciously notice those when stepping on them, but your posture will change to maintain your balance, and the long dowsing rods will swing around as a result. Add in a bit of confirmation bias (noticing when the results are helpful and ignoring when they aren't), and you've got yourself some bona-fide "magic".
@@ryszard_ : Nah, it'll still work. People have far less control over their lizard-brains than they like to believe they have, and no direct control at all over autonomic functions like their sense of balance. Consciousness and rationality float over top of all that stuff and are largely unaware of what goes on underneath.
Umm, that’s a fine theory-and I’ve heard it before-but it has a rather large hole. How do the rods work to find water in virgin, untapped ground? I’ve seen it done, my bro-in-law owns a well-drilling business and has had customers drill in over a half-dozen spots on spanking-new site befor finally resorting to someone with the rods. Only then, with the help of a ‘water witcher’, will they find an aquifer-usually the first hole they dig. I’m not saying that it confirms everything W is said, but it definitely throws out the ‘small indentations’ theory…
It's just power of suggestion, the same thing magicians use to fool their audience. He is just tilting his hands a little bit based off of his gut feeling where he thinks it is, and as a result they "magically" turn and find things.
Not to mention the fact that it's genuinely easier to find water, than it is to find a spot without water. That's been found to be a fact, and explains diviner's successes--looking for water, anyway.
While I'm highly skeptical of divining rods, the double blind studies I've seen don't have flowing water in a linear path. It wouldn't be difficult to bury water lines with pumps, then hide them. Then have people try to find them. Haven't seen one like that.
That is 100% correct. Also, the Internet isn't governed by only one country -- but equally shared all a crossed the world.

Great content on your channel . Interesting to gauge how people think and do things. We can all learn from each other. Thank you. from Melbourne , Australia.

🤣😅😂 Subscribed for years but somehow missed this bit of drama/sorcery until it just popped up in my recommendations. Oh jeeze. I’m laughing so hard I’m crying right now.
I used to work for the city 30 something years ago and I used those copper wires to find sewer lines and gas lines and water lines…I know there’s stuff that can’t be explained… but it works…
I was a rig mechanic drilling in the Denver Castle Rock area ,was in charge of the shale shaker, a type of vibrating screen that filters the drilling fluid for reuse downhole, when a bunch of cuttings, bouncing very differently came down the screen. I snagged a few, and was shocked to find that I had a handful of WOOD! Thought I was nuts! I asked the old driller what it was, he said "Probably some old cowboys campfire", with a twinkle. I later asked the owner,and he said that geologists call that wet leaves. It's organic stuff, basically immature coal, needing a few more million years, and a few more million lbs of pressure.
im an American with no interest in the fight, all of this aggressive nationalism is cringe worthy to me when I realize some people are actually serious. Its definitely good for a laugh though lol
Love everyone always and what is not gun about wells and divining rods? Seriously. They are just so interesting. I'm gonna go around my land. This is so fun :) looking fir stuff like underground water. How cool is that? And it's a mystery. And that is cool too. :) plus Cody is s eeslly good msn snd a Father figure sometimes for me. And I'm in my 50s, lol.
Many years ago I was a skeptic also, then I went to work for the local Water & Sewer Utility where I was introduced to dowsing/divining rods and shown they do work. They will locate, as you said, to within inches, but I've seen electronic, precision locators miss be that much or more. I went from the Utility to Traffic Engineering, introduced my co-workers to them and we located underground wire/cables with them as well. Sadly, we've lost the ability to think critically, for the most part. Educators have morphed from teaching how to think, to ideologies, self-victimization and single-mindedness. Add to that a lack of God-given values and the autonomy of the keyboard and you now have an environment for criticism and mockery rather than civil discourse. Many of the comments I read on this video prove that. Keep up the good work and God bless.
@@Granddad92 No.Everything you said is complete fantasy. People who believe in divining rods are either liars or complete idiots ... or both . Look at all you idiots in this comments section.

I don’t know what happened, but I found his short videos and they’re pretty cool. I never knew that most of the purpose built tools he covered existed. I also never knew that firemen’s gloves were riveted to pair with a carabiner clip to not lose them. I know that would be helpful for me.
This is why I could never be a public figure, it's too discouraging. Take the perfect idea, or even the perfect man, and in no time at all the masses tear them up and crucify them.
Love it. I had a well on my 80 acres that was drying up. Hired a driller to come out to see if lowering the well would work. This elderly man of 80 yrs ( I’m 70 ) said let’s find a better location and witched the area and found two good areas he said would be the best spots for a new well. We talked about the mystery of witching and encourage to try it and left me some wires. After he left I tried and tried without luck. But you know what I wasn’t thinking about water!! Heck you know what I’m going to try as soon as the chores are done!! Love it. God bless
Love your content. Subscribed! I had a old fellow from the mountains of Tennessee come out to troubleshoot a septic problem. I looked out the window and saw him walking around with homemade rods like yours. I was perplexed because nobody was around him to impress and he had a professionally equipped truck with meters and stuff. I realized this must be real, since he was a pro and couldn't afford to be wrong. I asked him about them and commented that this was kinda 'witchy looking.' He looked at me kinda funny like I must be ignorant of 'how it's done!' It was late in the day and he could tell I was fascinated, so he showed me how to use them to locate an easy septic tank. He could tell everything like pipes and changes in direction of travel that I didn't understand, but he was flagging and marking for the diggers. I was left shaking my head.
funny bc i was thinking the same thing about wranglerstar ranting about world wide flood but yet scientists that are the pros and spend there whole life studying earth science geology biology kind of have a better idea about a so called worldwide flood lol.
The ironic thing is he talks a lot about the value of acquired knowledge when it comes to things like well drilling, then tries to belittle and ignore acquired knowledge about things like evolutionary theory because he doesn't understand its value.
I just found you and subscribed this past week, and appreciate your content. Your video “The church should be defunded” popped up in my feed, and then this one. I skipped the church one and went straight to this “Why I banned 100 subs” assuming it would be the controversial subject of church things. I am so shocked it was over drilling a well! What on earth! Lol!! I hope your well is doing you great!! Edited to add: We just bought a property that has (had) a well recently, and the relatively new electrical panel is even labeled with “Well”. We just looked down the well and they filled it in and set up the property with city water. Again I say, “What on earth???”

A young lady had a problem with the sink not draining.. and she tried everything. She finally gave up and called a plumber to come in and fix it. The plumber shows up, looks at the sink, and opened the cabinet. He took out his big plumbing wrench, reached under the sink and she heard "bang bang bang!" and the water in the sink suddenly drained! She thanked him very much, but then he handed her a bill for $100! She looked at the bill and couldn't believe her eyes... he was only there for 5 minutes! Frustrated, she complained "Why are you so expensive!? It took you no time at all to fix it!" "Well ma'am, I understand your frustration.. but it took me 30 years of blood, sweat, and tears to be able to do a 5 hour job in 5 minutes. You're paying for the 30 years, not the 5 minutes".
I retired from my hometown water supply company. My main job was pipeline maintenance and leak detection/repair. I have worked on service lines and water mains from 1/2" to 60" trunk lines fed from huge tunnels large enough to fit a school bus in. These are the lines that draw on water in the Catskills and supply cities and towns all the way down to and including NYC. Anyway, I was the senior mechanic after all the old timers retired. I used a variety of ways to locate the service line, which fed the customer, or water main, which ran down the street at least 3 feet below the legal frost line in my town. We had sound devices, which were the oldest method of hearing below the ground. They were like doctor's stethoscopes with a piece of tubing that went to two hollow brass discs. One for each ear.. First I would locate the line and mark the ground with blue paint. For this, I would use electronic pipe locators. Made for this exact work. Since I retired, they are using plastic pipe so I think these are useless for locating these lines, since a solid connection had to be made from a wide variety of sources. Fire hydrants, house bibs on a house, the water main valves at each intersection, any solid electrical connection that feeds back into the water main or service line. Once the main or service line was located and you had its length mapped with blue paint, you could proceed to use listening devices, one like the one I described above and more sophisticated electronic devices with earphones to pinpoint where the leak on the line was. I could then mark the outline of where to dig. Broken water mains were the easiest because they were the loudest. The old timers taught me well. Using old technology with new, I could get right on top of the leak to less than a foot off 99% of the time. I had old timers show me how to use a long handle square shovel to listen below ground. The wide blade of the shovel acted like an amplifier and you put the handle pressed against your ear near the bony part of your skull. You can hear a broken water main this way. I know I'm rambling off topic so here goes. I had one old timer who claimed they used to "dowse" to find leaks, pipes, etc. He would grab branches hold them or sometimes use this aluminum wire about the gauge used in this video. Never did he ever come close to the accuracy I could get, if at all. Maybe he didn't have the mental connection or concentration. Now I am not discounting the ability that some folks might have to do this dowsing or divining. My father was a poor man who grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. He grew up drinking from wells dug by men he saw using this method to find where to dig. When I was a young boy we used to visit his parents who still lived in the same log cabin he grew up in. There were no power tools to dig like they have today. He had a wind up well behind the house. You throw the bucket in and wind it back up to get a bucket full of water. That's how he grew up and my grandparents were still using it until they passed in the late sixties. My dad said that location was found by the well known man who could dowse where the best source of water was to dig the well. People had to trust him, because digging an old well like that was a great endeavor. So, I guess there is something to this method. Though I'm not sure some people have it in them. Whether its just natural for them not to be able, to have that connection, or they have already made up their minds and are doubters. I was always in favor of combining the old ways with the new ways to double check my work. Oh yea, listen to the old timers that are still around. They can teach you many different ways to do things. So much knowledge has been lost to those generations who have passed on.

My grandfather was a well driller in the Hermiston, OR area for years. Good people. Thank you for honoring well drillers like him and many others by your words here.
The rods don’t work for everyone, my uncle being one that they won’t work for. I can find most anything with them including a pocket knife I lost. I use the wires off of marking flags a lot.
I have seen them work and not work about the same amount. I have personally felt them find water with a powerful swing. But I have seen them manipulated by charlatans enough to remain sceptical.
They do actually work. There's no voodoo or anything, but I don't know why exactly that it does work. Anyway, there is an experiment that you can do to prove it. My girlfriend thought it was all BS until I did the experiment with her. All you need are some wire coat hangers, and a pan of water. Cut up two wire coat hangers so that you have two pieces about 18 to 24 inches long. bend them into right angles with handles being much shorter. Fill a pan with water and put it on the floor in the middle of your living room. Stand about 10 feet away, hold the wires (very gingerly) so that they are parallel and sticking straight out, then walk slowly towards the pan....you'll see. My girlfriend thought that I moved the wires. Then I put them in her hands and made her walk. She's a believer now.
@@Leo-vr3bg probably that there aren’t enough regulations or taxes involved. Or that he was even allowed to drill on his land. They hate anyone but royalty,old money or international billionaires doing anything on their land.
@@Leo-vr3bg Well, some people want to ban private swimming pool claiming it uses too much water. When you tell them you only need to change the water every five years, they ask why would the owner would not visit the public swimming pool in the first place. This is endless. I do not own a TV to avoid paying for a TV license but someone told me that I should not be left avoiding paying for a precious public service.
Incredible. You found water where your chances of hitting water in a given area was nearly 100%. Now drill within that same area where you didn't get a ideomotor response. You'll probably still hit water... czcams.com/video/cqoYrSd94kA/video.html
All the well drillers I have met in Colorado, are extremely knowledgeable and skilled. There are maybe three or four in a quarter of the state. Without well drillers, we would have huge areas of the country, with no people or even farmers or ranchers.
Awesome video! Well done covering the aspects of drilling. I've even seen wood like you described and even fossils come up in diamond drilling cores. I worked in the mines on drill rigs for a while here in Aus. Mapping coal seams, large raised bores, underground DTH hammer doing services and grids through ore bodies for explosives. It's tough work, we had one crew drilling a paste fill hole into a stope that lost the entire rod string, bit and hammer by accidentally reverse spinning the rods when he broke through and the hammer got held up. (80k in gear gone in an instant). The little thumbnail is me on a boart longyear rig welding casing.
“Yeah bro, I got these divine rods that detect water. We just gotta dig hella deep until we hit water. Trust me man, it works! (You just gotta dig deep (until you hit water).)”
I very rarely participate in CZcams comments (usually toxic even on uplifting channels), but I do feel inclined to do so now. Sometimes you say things I disagree with, Cody, but I’m still here. You have a unique format that’s really entertaining, and even when we disagree, it makes me think about why I disagree, and also what my alternative opinion would be. I’ve only met a handful of people who are able to do that without being super intense, and you’re sharing that ability with the whole internet. What a gift!
I agree with this completely, its funny hes saying things like "this is ludicrous" and im sitting in my office chair thinking the exact opposite; however it does incite thought and anyone can appreciate that while still thinking Cody is out of his mind sometimes.
I really love Cody's content, and i'm confused with the people who give him a hard time. I disagree with him on...lots.... to be honest, but that's a lot of what I value about the content, getting another perspective. He's a good man, one I'm glad i get to hear from
My brother drills wells professionally and he has done it for 50 years. He learned under a second-generation well driller. I appreciate your words defending these guys. They work hard every day and do have plenty of knowledge that us DIY people should actually learn from and not condemn. Are you going to go to a carpenter ,plumber or electrician and scream you are doing it wrong??? Anyway, thanks Wranglerstar.
I grew up on a homestead with no running water. My Father tried to hire 2 different outfits to come in and get us a well. But, the first on drove all his heavy equipment out and they got stuck for about a year before they could retrieve it. The second one tried to drill for a couple of days and gave up and left, he was smart. Our property had a lot of clay and drilling was difficult. It broke their bits, it got their vehicles stuck in the mud. It was impossible. So, I had to wash my body, my hair, and my clothes in rain water for pretty much my whole life as a kid. My brother and I used to joke that we were the last Americans to have and use an outhouse. Try growing a garden without a hose. Try politely asking your neighbor if you can please fill up some containers for drinking water every week for years. Try raising hogs, a horse, several rabbits, chickens, turkeys, dogs, some goats, and a family without running water and tell me what a well is worth. One year, I discovered that the water that I had been washing my clothes and body in had a dead bird in it for quite a long time before I discovered it. Talk about the heeby jeebies. LOL.
I actually unsubbed several years ago, as I was uncomfortable with the amount you talk about your faith and I am an atheist. However, the wholesome, honest content brought me back and look there- I'm subscribed again. I understand that your faith is a big part of your life, and that's ok. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
I watched long ago and have a great tolerance for religion, though am myself an atheist. I have never felt Cody trying to convert his viewers, he just makes his faith well known, and that’s cool. He does add a lot to my interests and has never seemed judgemental.
I'm a 3rd generation well driller. And I've been watching your videos for a while now. I really appreciate that you actually understand how much overhead this type buisness has and how hard of a job it actually is. Thank you for that.
@@wranglerstar Would love for you to dig up and show those various lines, thus conclusively proving the naysayers wrong. Aside from that, it would be interesting to see an episode upon preparation for those that are space limited, ie city folk. As a final note, a question that has kept me awake for unreasonable periods of time that perhaps you've an opinion upon. If God doesn't know what lust feels like, then He isn't all-knowing. If God does know what lust feels like, then He isn't all-good. How does one find a logical peace with the above assertion?
@@nottodaybuddy370 Does God have to be all knowing to still work? For all we know, (Im Roman Catholic so it might be a little heretical) God could just be a "normal" extradimensional being with immense understanding, seeding the universe with life just because it can. We can mathematically prove dimensions up to 10? or 11? and their properties explain absolutely everything we hear or read about that result from "divine intervention" or power. Does this line of thought remove any of Gods power, majesty or understanding? No. However, we're utterly primitive beings in the whole scale of things anyway. You wouldnt expect a child to be able to even begin to comprehend quantum mechanics, why would you expect us to comprehend the limits of a God? Thinking about such things is a waste of time if you ask me, just be thankful for the gifts and live to your potential.
@@nottodaybuddy370 Jesus is God-God became a man. John 1:1. Jesus was tempted in every way that we are, but without sin. Hebrews 4:15. He is totally good and pure and without sin-God is holy. Let me take it a few steps further for you: Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted He is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:18. He does this gently. Hebrews 5:2. God became a man named Jesus in order to become a faithful high priest on our behalf. Hebrews 2:17. His role as priest includes more than just those pastoral aspects; He also mediates for us to the Father, making atonement for His people. Hebrews 2:17 + Hebrews 7:26. Atoning the Father's wrath is necessary because we are otherwise under God's wrath because of our sin against Him. Romans 1:18 + Romans 3:9. Jesus was crucified but he was physically resurrected. 1 Corinthians 15:20. Being alive, He will also come again to judge everyone and to execute God's wrath. Matthew 25:31-46 + Romans 2:16. But again, Jesus bore sins in His body when He was crucified. 1 Peter 2:24. He took the Father's wrath on Himself, and the Father reckons Jesus's righteousness to the account of certain people. 2 Corinthians 5:21. Jesus's righteousness is freely given to all who come to Him in faith. Romans 3:22. All who come to Him in faith He will raise up on the last day. John 6:40. That means He will resurrect them into eternal life whereas everyone else will be resurrected to eternal punishment in hell for their unatoned sins. Revelation 21:7-8.
@@MatthewThomas-0 I'm not saying that I do not believe in God as a Supreme Being, but you ruin your whole post from the beginning and it is the problem I have with most main stream religions. You say Jesus is God -- God became a man ... But then you go on to cover all the points of saying that Jesus and God are two different beings with Jesus knowing all the temptations of man/sin and dying so man might be saved, etc. Well is he God the Father or is he Jesus the Son? And with the way I see man stewarting the plant and treating each other these days, I really don't think their are many "Christians" today who can HONESTLY say they are living a life Jesus would approve of. Yes I'm sure there are some whom he would say, "Yes you tried!" But too many people are christians on Sunday or when at their Church but not much beyond that. Even though they spout their Christianity all the time! And think that they can do things because it is "God's will!" Hog wash!!!! If "God" is speaking to someone it will not be to tell them to hate someone for something or to turn against someone because of the color of their skin or their nationality. And if there is one TRUE God and he really is telling people these things, then he is not the God of Love, Hope, Faith and Peace that I was taught of as a child!!!
Super interesting! My man worked for the biggest phone company in the province in the 80’s-90’s and this is how they located all the utilities out while working rurally. It’s a totally legit thing. He did it every day.
@@cobrav3n0mx78 They do not find water.. Water is basically everywhere underground, you just need to dig deep enough. You can just look it up, here you have a link aswell: wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2015/04/15/how-does-water-dowsing-work/ Read up.
I don't doubt that it's true that you found water at the spot she pointed out but in many areas, it doesn't take much luck to find water wherever you drill. In some places, you can tell just with the eye where there's greater chance of finding water at reasonable depth. Dowsing has been thoroughly investigated for centuries and the fact is it doesn't work any better than guessing. In every well controlled blind test, the dowsers have failed.
@@skunkjobb I had to find two water lines and tried witching them. I used two #12 copper wires and didn't have any luck, so i put the wires in straws, which I held, so I couldn't influence the wires. I tried it again and found the water lines. I gave the setup to my son and it worked for him as well. I saw the same studies you did, but regardless of what they found my own study proved to me that water witching is real. Those wires crossed when we were right over those lines.
@@evetsegap What do you mean by "so I couldn't influence the wires"? If you hold them in your hands, even with some straw around the wires, of course they move when you move your hands anyway. And of course some people find water with them, otherwise all would have given up dowsing long ago but it's only luck. If you can prove your ability, you can get super rich and famous since nobody has done it ever. Good luck.
@@skunkjobb I hear your point on the simply finding water because it was easy to find but that doesn't explain finding wires as some people do. I also know what you are saying about hand movement influencing the rods. Do you think it could be a subconscious thing that makes the people move them to find the water or wires by some sort of energy transfer ie: flux we aren't really aware of? I've always been fascinated by "Witching" as my family called it. Most common name for it I've heard is "Dowsing". My grandfather used to do it with a fresh cut forked peach tree limb. I saw 2 wells drilled marked by him both real good but never saw him look for wires or anything like that. He sure thought it was real, but I had some reservations due to me pretty much having to lay my hands on something before I call it real. Have you ever been around it any first hand?
@Eric Gerwatowski Dowsers tried to claim the JDRF 1 million prize for proving something supernatural several times. Failed on each attempt. And we have actual tech for this now. While wrangler here is waving magic sticks, each utility line is now coated with specialized ribbon/foil that makes it detectable via a hand held device. The same damn thing, but it actually works now. Why would I waste hourly labor to test such idiocy?
Brit here, I admire and have an incredible amount of respect for the work you do, your way of life, the knowledge/opinions you share and I absolutely love everything about America!

Normally, when wood is buried it decays rapidly. However, if the burial environment is very wet it can be preserved for centuries. Bacteria and fungi will still degrade the wood, but when the oxygen supply is limited - under wet or waterlogged conditions - this process is much slower than in the air or in a well aerated soil.
You are way off "dendrochronological analysis provided more accurate dating. It proved that oak wood used in the construction of the settlement was cut down between 747-722 B.C. Over half of the wood used was cut during the winter of 748/747 B.C." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biskupin
I would have expected the opposite, very dry conditions to preserve wood. But, that's near the surface that dry wood lasts a long time and wet wood rots quickly.
I worked in the engineering department at an airport and there was an old fella that used witching rods to find cables, they worked just like you demonstrated 👍
In this world you could be standing in a street corner giving people $100 each, and someone will complain about it. In any type of forum, you can be nice as pie, and you'll end up with someone wanting to argue. In your case, you produce content, instead of people just enjoying it, they'll try and bring you down. No matter how you cut it, you'll never please everyone. I honestly can see the day I leave all social media, and get a dumb phone.
Good for you. I built a 3,000 sf house. I hired many tradesmen to assist me in building it. The guy who drilled my well was very professional. I treated them all with respect.
I'm a well driller, I've done wells from 15ft up to 250 and I appreciate how highly you speak of us drillers, it takes lots of skill to get to where we are at. I use a half of million machine to get this wells done, definetely not an easy job and well all I can say is thank you!
Thank you for the work that you do, I am a carpenter and I feel that white shirts don't understand or appreciate the physical work that we do.

At some point, the USA is going to have to figure out _exactly_ what rights people have when they are in publicly-accessible private property, such as an un-fenced front yard, a privately owned park, or someone's social media comment thread. At the moment, publicly-accessible private property is a huge gray area and it causes a lot of confusions and the occasional lawsuit.

I used to be counsel for a state well drilling agency (as part of the geological survey), and I have a lot of respect for drillers. Not only are there substantial skill requirements, but every single driller I met was concerned with protecting water resources and the quality of the environment. I really enjoyed working with them.

I had the most original excuse a teacher had ever heard for not getting an assignment done: Our well went dry! We had to move a fence, bushes, decorative wall made out of flat (heavy) stones so that they could get the rig in and drill. They finished kind of late and my dad wanted everything put back. Wranglestar is right about this being a specialized and valuable skill.
When I was a kid and started a statement with “well...” my uncle would quickly interrupt with “thats a deep thought for a shallow mind.” 😄

You get what you pay for. Sure you can find it cheaper. But don't cry when it's inferior in quality
You're not paying an hourly wage because you're not a business owner, you're a customer. For a tradesman to get to the point of where they can fix a problem in 30 minutes requires DECADES of skill and learning.

I worked for a small City in Idaho for 34 years. They could not afford any electronic locators for us to use to find our water, sewer, irrigation, phone, gas and power cables when we needed to dig for repairs or installing services. This was the first time I seen this done by the old timer that worked for the City. I thought the guy was nuts and snickered under my breath along with rolling my eyes thinking it was a joke. Time after time he found the lines we were looking for on the money. He was nice enough to teach me the skill on how to do it before he retired in 1978. I used this skill alone for 20 years before we was able to purchase something that was electronic. I still used the witching rods when there wasn't a good signal with the electronics. A doubted then but a believer once taught.
For under one wondering why you can find spots to drill a well with a dowsing rod, it's because water tables are huge. You have a pretty good chance of just finding one by drilling randomly
Id bet that the people whining that you're out of touch for spending 20k on a well (and that they never could) have no problem going out and paying twice that much plus interest for another car that they don't need. Different priorities.
Yup. Thought the same thing!!
Whiners spend precious dollars by the handful on specialty designer labeled bottled waters, energy drinks, and exotic coffees and teas. When within five years they could have paid for a lifetime property enhancing life sustaining untainted well.
I believe "money shaming" is a form of trolling. I bashed my brother for giving his ex girlfriend £2500 i called it pity money (I'm from the UK) and he bashed me for buying the only olympic weight Plate loaded kettlebell i've ever seen for a more modest £150 claiming ill never use it, i do just not often enough
But in both cases we had different priorities. I went to work and put in the hours, so do most people.. Even youtube videos for money is a job, your "employers" are advertisers, if you dont upload people forget about you and u lose contracts and so on
So long as people don't steal, use drug money or be fraudulent/scam others to get their money or other illegal methods, its their god given right to spend honest money how they see fit
Complaining never hurt anyone. That being said, to drill a well costs $12k plus here. One that deep would be closer to $20k. Seems like a good deal to me. Not to mention a guy can get survey and geological reports done. Locating the water, in general, is not the problem.
I just spent 11K for a 80’ well in MN. No complaints either.
Boy, cody. You really wasted your money drilling that second well. If your first one runs dry, just use your garden hose to fill it back up!

Way to go. Keep up the good work and being man enough to take charge of your channel. So many now days are afraid to do what's necessary.
Dowsing is a pseudoscience, and the scientific evidence is that it is no more effective than random chance. Dowsers often achieve good results because random chance has a high probability of finding water in favourable terrain. The motion of dowsing rods is now generally attributed to the ideomotor response. The ideomotor phenomenon is a psychological phenomenon wherein a subject makes motions unconsciously. In less complex terms, dowsing rods only move due to accidental or involuntary movements of the user. -wikipedia
I have a channel in the U.K and it is a two way street. We get loads of comments from Americans telling us we are backward and stupid. It is a sport that is all and if it keeps them off the streets that is a good thing.

Radioactive decay there is hundreds of times more advanced than is possible. Which throws into doubt all carbon dating. Makes a guy wonder....
The evidence of the great flood is rather difficult to deny. The evolution argument is an entirely different one. Apples and oranges.
@@ivermec-tin666 The evidence of a great flood doesn't exist. What people seemingly aren't aware of is that many of the people who made the significant early advances in the science of geology were people trying to _prove_ there had been a flood, but the more they looked, the more they had to admit that was not what they were finding, at all. That what they were finding was no evidence of a global flood, and evidence of a very, very, old Earth.
The difference between those men and people claiming 'evidence" of a great flood or a young Earth is that those men were honest in what they found, honest in what they reported, and honest with themselves. They didn't lie to themselves and, most importantly, didn't lie to others.
Christianity and science do not disagree with one another. An evolution dialogue needs to be specified insofar as humans or plants. Darwin was wrong and that’s easily proven. To deny a great flood occurred is ignorant with today’s resources.

Hey man, Wranglestar is one of my favorite channels, and I can't stand when you get hatred for doing what you love to do. Just keep doing what you do with this in mind, you are adored by thousands who respect, and enjoy your videos. This channel promotes leadership, skillsets, responsibility, honesty, friendship, and most importantly how to be a good human. You are in my eyes, a great man.
I can attest to the diving rods working. I have no idea how they work, but they do.I was skeptical until I tried it myself at the advice of an old Uncle. I'm also glad you mentioned the need to be thinking about the item you are in search of, because that makes a difference.
I was heading home form a job site one day and realized I left something behind, so I turned around and went back. When I got back to the job everyone was gone accept the GC and some guy holding those rods out back. I walked over and asked what they were doing. The GC said Hes looking for the water line, and then I watched the guy find the line. Even he said he didn't understand it, but his father taught him and so on. It is real and its crazy.
I can say the back in the 80' in West Virginia (I know, East Coast), A friend was building a home. The well drilling was at $100.00 a foot. The drilling went to close to 300 ft. To me, a small price for water. Pure, untreated. Rock on my friend. Thank you for allowing us a window into your life.
Be well my friend
Yeah nobody pays like that... the average well cost 5 to 12 k.. usually 10-25$ ft and in extremely difficult conditions 50$ max.. usually there is a price and depth cap
@@derekinhawaii What was West Virginia a part of at one time? Virginia. Which is an East Coast State. Parts of Virginia are still thinking about breaking off and joining WV as the people in the NW part of the State are more like people in WV than the people over in Richmond.
Well drilling is what set them off?!
How many of them have ever owned or drilled a well?
I'll bet none.
I have not expertise or opinions on wells.
Very strange indeed
People love having something to complain about and to put others down. It gives them a sense of power and importance. They're the same people that are afraid to admit they don't know something because they think that will make them look weak, stupid, and less of a man. It's such a, frankly, silly and ignorant mindset.
Most likely City apartment dwellers. This is the Reeeeeeeing 20's
Had a neighbor who worked as a well driller. Got alot of good memories helping him fix that rusty drill. Good experience in my mechanical trade.
Those “witch sticks” are a pretty cool concept. I have used them cause I used to work for 811. It’s all about electric magnetic fields. I would hookup a transmitter to a power line and use 2 flag markers to get an idea as to where the line is. Then I would switch back to the locating equipment because that is more accurate.
But yeah that whole concept is about electric magnetic fields that move the rods.

When you successfully clear a minefield with dowsing rods I'll reconsider your claim. Until then I don't suggest anyone try locating buried gas or power lines with witchcraft unless you want to take full financial responsibility for the death or injury of others and or property damage.
Wranglerstar has some of the best, most rational, product reviews I've ever seen, but when he gets to talking about things he believes in...ho boy.
Dowsing rods "work" by amplifying tiny changes in a person's posture as their body compensates for walking over uneven ground. Things like buried pipes leave small indentations in the ground, even decades after the work was done; you might not consciously notice those when stepping on them, but your posture will change to maintain your balance, and the long dowsing rods will swing around as a result. Add in a bit of confirmation bias (noticing when the results are helpful and ignoring when they aren't), and you've got yourself some bona-fide "magic".
Well don’t tell him that… it will stop working :)
“Um actually witchcraft and natural medicines aren’t real because my government/media tells me so” 🤓
@@ryszard_ : Nah, it'll still work. People have far less control over their lizard-brains than they like to believe they have, and no direct control at all over autonomic functions like their sense of balance. Consciousness and rationality float over top of all that stuff and are largely unaware of what goes on underneath.
That is something smart. That would also mean that it would not work on a bedrock floor.
Umm, that’s a fine theory-and I’ve heard it before-but it has a rather large hole. How do the rods work to find water in virgin, untapped ground? I’ve seen it done, my bro-in-law owns a well-drilling business and has had customers drill in over a half-dozen spots on spanking-new site befor finally resorting to someone with the rods. Only then, with the help of a ‘water witcher’, will they find an aquifer-usually the first hole they dig.
I’m not saying that it confirms everything W is said, but it definitely throws out the ‘small indentations’ theory…
I respect wrangler for the most part. His lay line sticks might work for him, but every double blind study has shown it’s entirely random.
It's just power of suggestion, the same thing magicians use to fool their audience. He is just tilting his hands a little bit based off of his gut feeling where he thinks it is, and as a result they "magically" turn and find things.
Not to mention the fact that it's genuinely easier to find water, than it is to find a spot without water. That's been found to be a fact, and explains diviner's successes--looking for water, anyway.
While I'm highly skeptical of divining rods, the double blind studies I've seen don't have flowing water in a linear path. It wouldn't be difficult to bury water lines with pumps, then hide them. Then have people try to find them. Haven't seen one like that.
@@FIRE0KING they've had an Olympic swimming pool on one floor of a building and the diviner on the next floor and they couldn't find the water

I used to work for the city 30 something years ago and I used those copper wires to find sewer lines and gas lines and water lines…I know there’s stuff that can’t be explained… but it works…
I was a rig mechanic drilling in the Denver Castle Rock area ,was in charge of the shale shaker, a type of vibrating screen that filters the drilling fluid for reuse downhole, when a bunch of cuttings, bouncing very differently came down the screen. I snagged a few, and was shocked to find that I had a handful of WOOD! Thought I was nuts! I asked the old driller what it was, he said "Probably some old cowboys campfire", with a twinkle. I later asked the owner,and he said that geologists call that wet leaves. It's organic stuff, basically immature coal, needing a few more million years, and a few more million lbs of pressure.
As a European I really laughed at the comment about us, good stuff. 🤣
It's so true though, must be our European Idealism that makes us that way.

Many years ago I was a skeptic also, then I went to work for the local Water & Sewer Utility where I was introduced to dowsing/divining rods and shown they do work. They will locate, as you said, to within inches, but I've seen electronic, precision locators miss be that much or more.
I went from the Utility to Traffic Engineering, introduced my co-workers to them and we located underground wire/cables with them as well.
Sadly, we've lost the ability to think critically, for the most part. Educators have morphed from teaching how to think, to ideologies, self-victimization and single-mindedness. Add to that a lack of God-given values and the autonomy of the keyboard and you now have an environment for criticism and mockery rather than civil discourse.

Love it. I had a well on my 80 acres that was drying up. Hired a driller to come out to see if lowering the well would work. This elderly man of 80 yrs ( I’m 70 ) said let’s find a better location and witched the area and found two good areas he said would be the best spots for a new well. We talked about the mystery of witching and encourage to try it and left me some wires. After he left I tried and tried without luck. But you know what I wasn’t thinking about water!! Heck you know what I’m going to try as soon as the chores are done!! Love it. God bless
Love your content. Subscribed! I had a old fellow from the mountains of Tennessee come out to troubleshoot a septic problem. I looked out the window and saw him walking around with homemade rods like yours. I was perplexed because nobody was around him to impress and he had a professionally equipped truck with meters and stuff. I realized this must be real, since he was a pro and couldn't afford to be wrong. I asked him about them and commented that this was kinda 'witchy looking.' He looked at me kinda funny like I must be ignorant of 'how it's done!' It was late in the day and he could tell I was fascinated, so he showed me how to use them to locate an easy septic tank. He could tell everything like pipes and changes in direction of travel that I didn't understand, but he was flagging and marking for the diggers. I was left shaking my head.

Edited to add: We just bought a property that has (had) a well recently, and the relatively new electrical panel is even labeled with “Well”. We just looked down the well and they filled it in and set up the property with city water. Again I say, “What on earth???”

A young lady had a problem with the sink not draining.. and she tried everything. She finally gave up and called a plumber to come in and fix it. The plumber shows up, looks at the sink, and opened the cabinet. He took out his big plumbing wrench, reached under the sink and she heard "bang bang bang!" and the water in the sink suddenly drained! She thanked him very much, but then he handed her a bill for $100! She looked at the bill and couldn't believe her eyes... he was only there for 5 minutes! Frustrated, she complained "Why are you so expensive!? It took you no time at all to fix it!" "Well ma'am, I understand your frustration.. but it took me 30 years of blood, sweat, and tears to be able to do a 5 hour job in 5 minutes. You're paying for the 30 years, not the 5 minutes".
I retired from my hometown water supply company. My main job was pipeline maintenance and leak detection/repair. I have worked on service lines and water mains from 1/2" to 60" trunk lines fed from huge tunnels large enough to fit a school bus in. These are the lines that draw on water in the Catskills and supply cities and towns all the way down to and including NYC.
Anyway, I was the senior mechanic after all the old timers retired. I used a variety of ways to locate the service line, which fed the customer, or water main, which ran down the street at least 3 feet below the legal frost line in my town. We had sound devices, which were the oldest method of hearing below the ground. They were like doctor's stethoscopes with a piece of tubing that went to two hollow brass discs. One for each ear.. First I would locate the line and mark the ground with blue paint. For this, I would use electronic pipe locators. Made for this exact work. Since I retired, they are using plastic pipe so I think these are useless for locating these lines, since a solid connection had to be made from a wide variety of sources. Fire hydrants, house bibs on a house, the water main valves at each intersection, any solid electrical connection that feeds back into the water main or service line.
Once the main or service line was located and you had its length mapped with blue paint, you could proceed to use listening devices, one like the one I described above and more sophisticated electronic devices with earphones to pinpoint where the leak on the line was. I could then mark the outline of where to dig. Broken water mains were the easiest because they were the loudest.
The old timers taught me well. Using old technology with new, I could get right on top of the leak to less than a foot off 99% of the time. I had old timers show me how to use a long handle square shovel to listen below ground. The wide blade of the shovel acted like an amplifier and you put the handle pressed against your ear near the bony part of your skull. You can hear a broken water main this way.
I know I'm rambling off topic so here goes. I had one old timer who claimed they used to "dowse" to find leaks, pipes, etc. He would grab branches hold them or sometimes use this aluminum wire about the gauge used in this video. Never did he ever come close to the accuracy I could get, if at all. Maybe he didn't have the mental connection or concentration. Now I am not discounting the ability that some folks might have to do this dowsing or divining. My father was a poor man who grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. He grew up drinking from wells dug by men he saw using this method to find where to dig. When I was a young boy we used to visit his parents who still lived in the same log cabin he grew up in. There were no power tools to dig like they have today. He had a wind up well behind the house. You throw the bucket in and wind it back up to get a bucket full of water. That's how he grew up and my grandparents were still using it until they passed in the late sixties. My dad said that location was found by the well known man who could dowse where the best source of water was to dig the well. People had to trust him, because digging an old well like that was a great endeavor. So, I guess there is something to this method. Though I'm not sure some people have it in them. Whether its just natural for them not to be able, to have that connection, or they have already made up their minds and are doubters. I was always in favor of combining the old ways with the new ways to double check my work.
Oh yea, listen to the old timers that are still around. They can teach you many different ways to do things. So much knowledge has been lost to those generations who have passed on.

The rods don’t work for everyone, my uncle being one that they won’t work for. I can find most anything with them including a pocket knife I lost. I use the wires off of marking flags a lot.
I have seen them work and not work about the same amount. I have personally felt them find water with a powerful swing. But I have seen them manipulated by charlatans enough to remain sceptical.
They do actually work. There's no voodoo or anything, but I don't know why exactly that it does work. Anyway, there is an experiment that you can do to prove it. My girlfriend thought it was all BS until I did the experiment with her. All you need are some wire coat hangers, and a pan of water. Cut up two wire coat hangers so that you have two pieces about 18 to 24 inches long. bend them into right angles with handles being much shorter. Fill a pan with water and put it on the floor in the middle of your living room. Stand about 10 feet away, hold the wires (very gingerly) so that they are parallel and sticking straight out, then walk slowly towards the pan....you'll see. My girlfriend thought that I moved the wires. Then I put them in her hands and made her walk. She's a believer now.

I’ve only met a handful of people who are able to do that without being super intense, and you’re sharing that ability with the whole internet. What a gift!
I agree with this completely, its funny hes saying things like "this is ludicrous" and im sitting in my office chair thinking the exact opposite; however it does incite thought and anyone can appreciate that while still thinking Cody is out of his mind sometimes.
Brother?
Exactly
I really love Cody's content, and i'm confused with the people who give him a hard time. I disagree with him on...lots.... to be honest, but that's a lot of what I value about the content, getting another perspective. He's a good man, one I'm glad i get to hear from
didn't know this sacred ability had to too be kept a secret LMAOOOO
I'm trying to figure out why you are even explaining your self to these people ?forget them
It's important to tell obvious truths, else the obvious lies become truth.
My brother drills wells professionally and he has done it for 50 years. He learned under a second-generation well driller. I appreciate your words defending these guys. They work hard every day and do have plenty of knowledge that us DIY people should actually learn from and not condemn. Are you going to go to a carpenter ,plumber or electrician and scream you are doing it wrong??? Anyway, thanks Wranglerstar.
I grew up on a homestead with no running water. My Father tried to hire 2 different outfits to come in and get us a well. But, the first on drove all his heavy equipment out and they got stuck for about a year before they could retrieve it. The second one tried to drill for a couple of days and gave up and left, he was smart.
Our property had a lot of clay and drilling was difficult. It broke their bits, it got their vehicles stuck in the mud. It was impossible.
So, I had to wash my body, my hair, and my clothes in rain water for pretty much my whole life as a kid. My brother and I used to joke that we were the last Americans to have and use an outhouse.
Try growing a garden without a hose. Try politely asking your neighbor if you can please fill up some containers for drinking water every week for years. Try raising hogs, a horse, several rabbits, chickens, turkeys, dogs, some goats, and a family without running water and tell me what a well is worth.
One year, I discovered that the water that I had been washing my clothes and body in had a dead bird in it for quite a long time before I discovered it. Talk about the heeby jeebies. LOL.
I actually unsubbed several years ago, as I was uncomfortable with the amount you talk about your faith and I am an atheist. However, the wholesome, honest content brought me back and look there- I'm subscribed again. I understand that your faith is a big part of your life, and that's ok. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Same with me I don't unsub but the faith is a bit much but whatever it's worth it
Same here. Dont care for the faith talk, but as he stated its his channel. I just dont watch the Jesus-y video. Worth it for the rest of his content.
I watched long ago and have a great tolerance for religion, though am myself an atheist. I have never felt Cody trying to convert his viewers, he just makes his faith well known, and that’s cool. He does add a lot to my interests and has never seemed judgemental.
Lory Fairfield Well put.
Cody is actually one of the few people I like hear talk about god.
I'm a 3rd generation well driller. And I've been watching your videos for a while now. I really appreciate that you actually understand how much overhead this type buisness has and how hard of a job it actually is. Thank you for that.
Thank you for you honorable and valuable trade,
@@wranglerstar Would love for you to dig up and show those various lines, thus conclusively proving the naysayers wrong.
Aside from that, it would be interesting to see an episode upon preparation for those that are space limited, ie city folk.
As a final note, a question that has kept me awake for unreasonable periods of time that perhaps you've an opinion upon.
If God doesn't know what lust feels like, then He isn't all-knowing.
If God does know what lust feels like, then He isn't all-good.
How does one find a logical peace with the above assertion?
@@nottodaybuddy370 Does God have to be all knowing to still work?
For all we know, (Im Roman Catholic so it might be a little heretical) God could just be a "normal" extradimensional being with immense understanding, seeding the universe with life just because it can. We can mathematically prove dimensions up to 10? or 11? and their properties explain absolutely everything we hear or read about that result from "divine intervention" or power. Does this line of thought remove any of Gods power, majesty or understanding? No.
However, we're utterly primitive beings in the whole scale of things anyway. You wouldnt expect a child to be able to even begin to comprehend quantum mechanics, why would you expect us to comprehend the limits of a God? Thinking about such things is a waste of time if you ask me, just be thankful for the gifts and live to your potential.
@@nottodaybuddy370 Jesus is God-God became a man. John 1:1. Jesus was tempted in every way that we are, but without sin. Hebrews 4:15. He is totally good and pure and without sin-God is holy.
Let me take it a few steps further for you: Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted He is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:18. He does this gently. Hebrews 5:2. God became a man named Jesus in order to become a faithful high priest on our behalf. Hebrews 2:17.
His role as priest includes more than just those pastoral aspects; He also mediates for us to the Father, making atonement for His people. Hebrews 2:17 + Hebrews 7:26.
Atoning the Father's wrath is necessary because we are otherwise under God's wrath because of our sin against Him. Romans 1:18 + Romans 3:9. Jesus was crucified but he was physically resurrected. 1 Corinthians 15:20. Being alive, He will also come again to judge everyone and to execute God's wrath. Matthew 25:31-46 + Romans 2:16.
But again, Jesus bore sins in His body when He was crucified. 1 Peter 2:24. He took the Father's wrath on Himself, and the Father reckons Jesus's righteousness to the account of certain people. 2 Corinthians 5:21. Jesus's righteousness is freely given to all who come to Him in faith. Romans 3:22.
All who come to Him in faith He will raise up on the last day. John 6:40. That means He will resurrect them into eternal life whereas everyone else will be resurrected to eternal punishment in hell for their unatoned sins. Revelation 21:7-8.
@@MatthewThomas-0 I'm not saying that I do not believe in God as a Supreme Being, but you ruin your whole post from the beginning and it is the problem I have with most main stream religions.
You say Jesus is God -- God became a man ... But then you go on to cover all the points of saying that Jesus and God are two different beings with Jesus knowing all the temptations of man/sin and dying so man might be saved, etc.
Well is he God the Father or is he Jesus the Son?
And with the way I see man stewarting the plant and treating each other these days, I really don't think their are many "Christians" today who can HONESTLY say they are living a life Jesus would approve of. Yes I'm sure there are some whom he would say, "Yes you tried!" But too many people are christians on Sunday or when at their Church but not much beyond that. Even though they spout their Christianity all the time! And think that they can do things because it is "God's will!" Hog wash!!!! If "God" is speaking to someone it will not be to tell them to hate someone for something or to turn against someone because of the color of their skin or their nationality.
And if there is one TRUE God and he really is telling people these things, then he is not the God of Love, Hope, Faith and Peace that I was taught of as a child!!!
Good job young man. Keep up the good work. All of life has a natural order to it and your ability to be self-sufficient is one of the most important.
Super interesting! My man worked for the biggest phone company in the province in the 80’s-90’s and this is how they located all the utilities out while working rurally. It’s a totally legit thing. He did it every day.
I can't tell if he's being serious or not with those "divining rods". At first I thought he was joking around, but it went on for so long...
those things work for real dude, i've even played around with those and they really do find the wires/water.
@@cobrav3n0mx78 They do not find water.. Water is basically everywhere underground, you just need to dig deep enough. You can just look it up, here you have a link aswell: wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2015/04/15/how-does-water-dowsing-work/
Read up.
I work with a water and sewer athority and we use witchin sticks all the time, works like a charm!
magic sticks don't work
Dargox * cough cough* its called sarcasm * cough cough*
My grandmother divined our well water. People laughed. We enjoyed the water.
Douglas Scroggs czcams.com/video/FftjV7idYLc/video.html
I don't doubt that it's true that you found water at the spot she pointed out but in many areas, it doesn't take much luck to find water wherever you drill. In some places, you can tell just with the eye where there's greater chance of finding water at reasonable depth. Dowsing has been thoroughly investigated for centuries and the fact is it doesn't work any better than guessing. In every well controlled blind test, the dowsers have failed.
@@skunkjobb I had to find two water lines and tried witching them. I used two #12 copper wires and didn't have any luck, so i put the wires in straws, which I held, so I couldn't influence the wires. I tried it again and found the water lines. I gave the setup to my son and it worked for him as well. I saw the same studies you did, but regardless of what they found my own study proved to me that water witching is real. Those wires crossed when we were right over those lines.
@@evetsegap What do you mean by "so I couldn't influence the wires"? If you hold them in your hands, even with some straw around the wires, of course they move when you move your hands anyway. And of course some people find water with them, otherwise all would have given up dowsing long ago but it's only luck. If you can prove your ability, you can get super rich and famous since nobody has done it ever. Good luck.
@@skunkjobb I hear your point on the simply finding water because it was easy to find but that doesn't explain finding wires as some people do. I also know what you are saying about hand movement influencing the rods. Do you think it could be a subconscious thing that makes the people move them to find the water or wires by some sort of energy transfer ie: flux we aren't really aware of? I've always been fascinated by "Witching" as my family called it. Most common name for it I've heard is "Dowsing". My grandfather used to do it with a fresh cut forked peach tree limb. I saw 2 wells drilled marked by him both real good but never saw him look for wires or anything like that. He sure thought it was real, but I had some reservations due to me pretty much having to lay my hands on something before I call it real. Have you ever been around it any first hand?
Actually in the city they are used by contractors and line markers, they actually work from what I’ve seen.
I would pay money to see this guy come onto my job site and mark power lines for our dig with these magic rods. The explosion would be amazing.
@Eric Gerwatowski Dowsing rods have been scientifically tested several times. They don't work. Just like astrology.
@Eric Gerwatowski Because I value mine and my crews lives.
And agreed, lol.
@Eric Gerwatowski Dowsers tried to claim the JDRF 1 million prize for proving something supernatural several times. Failed on each attempt.
And we have actual tech for this now. While wrangler here is waving magic sticks, each utility line is now coated with specialized ribbon/foil that makes it detectable via a hand held device. The same damn thing, but it actually works now. Why would I waste hourly labor to test such idiocy?
Brit here, I admire and have an incredible amount of respect for the work you do, your way of life, the knowledge/opinions you share and I absolutely love everything about America! It's your homestead and it's your money, you are free to do whatever you please, you don't need to explain yourself to ignorant and hateful people.
Now, here's a smart man. Good for you...
The British Patriot me too man also from the uk , lived in the us for a while
Fellow Brit, also not an A-hole, obviously amazing considering it’s the internet... how random we are all meeting on Cody’s channel? 😂
Come on over and join us--we are going to parasite-proof our government soon with an improved Constitution. Golden Age of liberty in. America will ensue!
This has not aged well.
Normally, when wood is buried it decays rapidly. However, if the burial environment is very wet it can be preserved for centuries. Bacteria and fungi will still degrade the wood, but when the oxygen supply is limited - under wet or waterlogged conditions - this process is much slower than in the air or in a well aerated soil.
Bruh I literally just read this off chrome 😂
You are way off "dendrochronological analysis provided more accurate dating. It proved that oak wood used in the construction of the settlement was cut down between 747-722 B.C. Over half of the wood used was cut during the winter of 748/747 B.C."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biskupin
I would have expected the opposite, very dry conditions to preserve wood. But, that's near the surface that dry wood lasts a long time and wet wood rots quickly.
I'm 48 yrs old and everytime I see someone doing this I roll my eyes and think flat earther. I freaking believe this guy.
I worked in the engineering department at an airport and there was an old fella that used witching rods to find cables, they worked just like you demonstrated 👍
In this world you could be standing in a street corner giving people $100 each, and someone will complain about it.
In any type of forum, you can be nice as pie, and you'll end up with someone wanting to argue. In your case, you produce content, instead of people just enjoying it, they'll try and bring you down.
No matter how you cut it, you'll never please everyone. I honestly can see the day I leave all social media, and get a dumb phone.
Good for you. I built a 3,000 sf house. I hired many tradesmen to assist me in building it. The guy who drilled my well was very professional. I treated them all with respect.
