Hey guys! Today the video is about the brand owner of the most famous monogram in the fashion world.
The englishman Thomas Burberry was 21 years old
when he founded the Burberry brand in Basingstoke in 1856.
Before, he worked as an apprentice cloth dealer and started the brand
believing that the clothes should serve to protect the British from the
unstable climates. The brand's customers began calling as The London BurberryS,
but it was only Burberry. So Thomas finally accepted and ended up being called
even from BurberryS. His first great invention was 23 years after the start of the brand,
in 1989 with gabardine fabric. In Portuguese, even gabardine. The tissue was
patented and it was breathable and waterproof at the same time, helping
english people to dribble bad weather with coats more comfortable and easier
to wear, since they were very heavy. And this cloth gabardine
became a star and a great traveler. Gabardine traveled to the poles
with explorer and Nobel laureate Dr. Fridtjof Nansen.
The gabardine traveled hot air balloon with Edward Maitland, breaking a world record of
long distance that lasted more than 30 hours, going from London to Russia.
He participated in three expeditions. One of them Endurance, with the British explorer
Sir Ernest Shackleton. Also participated in another flight
record holder on board of the Burberry plane, which the two pilots wore Burberry
from Croydon to Cape Town.
In 1914, Burberry launched the trench coat during the First World War, which
was to help the soldiers to carry better with their pockets
the equipment of war. And also the trench coat had its first version
created with the gabardine, the official fabric of the Burberry, helping against rain.
In 1920, the most famous monogram in the fashion world was registered as Burberry's official trademark
and began to be presented also as lining of rain coats.
In 1999, Burberrys, call Burberry again, the way we know it
and gets a new logo designed and created by Fabien Baron.
Even though it is a super traditional brand, old, with more than 160 years,
Burberry was innovative, was the first to present the products and the collection in the
internet, on Twitter before the parade, and was also the first to adopt the
See Now Buy Now concept, in which the products you saw on the catwalk
are sold after the show. And talking about being a brand with modern thoughts,
Burberry is really not afraid to innovate, and now in 2018, has launched a new
logo and also a new monogram designed by Peter Saville. And now in 2018
has also announced that it will not use any more animal skins and will not waste
more pieces that were not sold - what happens with many brands, happened with Burberry,
but it changed, nice! So just praise for the brand, a lot of admiration
and really is a case of success that has been facing the change of the world, in the
world of fashion and the world even world. And good, down here in the description has a link with
all the information I've spoken about in this video and others, especially about
products that were major brand launches.

Library Sale Book Haul! | 2018 | Kendra Winchester - Duration: 14:44.
Hey guys! Kendra here. Dylan of course is over to the side there. But it's
been a while. I decided to take a little break because the Reading Women Award is
coming pretty quickly, and we have some other things going on behind the scenes.
And I'm, like, you know what? I'm just gonna take a moment since I can't really
review books right now anyway. So I will be doing the first part of my October
wrap up very soon and that will be books that didn't qualify for the award but
that I did read in October. But today I decided to do my semiannual library sale
now many of you know if you've been watching my channel that every six
months my library has a library sale, and this year I'm a friend of the library,
which basically means you donate to library and you become a "friend" of the
library. Anyway, you just get in early so I got in early, and so I bought some
books. So I'm pretty excited to share them with you. Now you might have to be
wondering, like, "Kendra you do haul a lot of books. Where did they all go?"
I do actually get rid of about a Trader Joe's bag worth of books every month, at
least. And all of the ARCs I receive I either give to someone else and who
wants to promote that book also, or I donate them to little free libraries. So
yeah, that's where they go. And um, but this is more like you just you don't get
to see the rest of the Kendra bookish ecosystem. This is more like how they
enter the ecosystem. [laughs] Anyway, I have several used books here, and I'm very
excited and happy to support my library and buy used books for them.
I bought a few books for other people, and I bought some books for Christmas
presents. I won't show you those, but these the ones that I bought for me . . . or
Samuel, actually, because there are a couple in here for Samuel. So let's start
with those. First up is a memoir it's A LONG WAY GONE, and this is the memoir of
a boy soldier by Ishmael Beah, and this is the story of his life in Sierra Leone
when he was a boy soldier. And then eventually he came over to the United
States, and this is his story. And this sounds like a Samuel book, so I picked it
up, and he's like, "Oh, I was on my TBR." Like, I know I figured up for you,
so yeah there's that one. I'm excited to see what Samuel thinks of this one. The
other one is one I found for a dollar, and Samuel read it and loved
it, and I also enjoyed it. And that's THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN. This is gonna
be made into movie, and so I was excited to find this one. If you like MARLEY AND
ME and like dog kind of stories this is definitely a book for you. It's from the
perspective of a dog and his life with his human, and it's really the story of
the humans, honestly. And their dog is viewing that from the outside, and it's a
very sad book, but I thought I ended really well. And you all know how I feel
about sad dog stories. Another book I found is MY LIFE IN MIDDLEMARCH by
Rebecca Mead, and this is a memoir about her reflections of MIDDLEMARCH. And
there's a lot of parallels there; I have not read MIDDLEMARCH yet.
It's been on my TBR for a long time, but I wanted to actually read MIDDLEMARCH
first, and I've had MIDDLEMARCH in the works to read for like two years now.
And it's not happened. I really need to fix that. So one of my favorite books is
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.
They're actually two books, but this is a nice bound edition. It's very beautiful.
It's by Lewis Caroll, and the Cheshire Cat is my favorite Disney characters of all time.
And I absolutely love the quirkiness of this story, and I don't know what it is
about it; and I don't know. It's just like, it's the own mythology. It's really
interesting especially since Charles Dodgson (i.e. Lewis Carroll) was like a
mathematician. It's just so interesting. I love Alice modern retellings. So yeah, but
this is beautiful. This is gonna sit on my children's bookshelf or face out
because it's just beautiful—front and back. So a couple years ago, I picked up
BOXERS and SAINTS. So this is BOXERS. This is the first part, and it's a graphic
novel by Gene Luen Yang. And this is about the Boxer Rebellion. Now this is a
like a dual narrative, so you'll see this on the back. I don't have SAINTS, so I
don't have to pick it up. It wasn't there, or I would have picked up as well. But you
have . . . This is the Boxers one, and then simultaneously, it's the SAINTS one.
And they're both from the perspective of Chinese young people during the time, and
the girl is part of the one of the missionary commune going on there. So she sees
Saints, and in the Boxer Rebellion (this edition), the boy sees ancient Chinese
mythological figures. So it's so well done. I absolutely . . . this is my
favorite graphic novels that I've read in the last few years. And I'm so excited
I finally found a copy, and I just need to find the other one,
and have them together. And they sit together on the shelf, and it's the other
half of the face. It's so well done—oh—they're just so gorgeous.
So if you haven't picked up a copy of this or read it, definitely add that to your
TBR. It's just so good. So some of the other children's books I
picked up is TOUCHING SPIRIT BEAR by Ben Michaelson. This is like THE HATCHET. Tt's
basically young man is in the forest and has to survive the elements of the
outdoors. It's that kind of thing. This one is THE TIGER RISING. This is a
National Book Award finalist but Kate DiCamillo, and I actually don't know what
this is about. But I saw it and thought I should pick it up. But she has—Kate
DiCamillo—has won lots of things. I think she won the Newbery for her book about a
squirrel . . . ? A flying squirrel? I don't know.
And then also, I found a copy of INSIDE OUT AND BACK AGAIN by Tanhha Lai.
If I see this . . . and these copies are like a dollar piece, so if I see a really nice
copy like this from Scholastic. This is a great book to give to kids. I'm
gonna wait to my nephew is a little older, but probably be receiving a copy of this
later. But this is a poetry novel about a little girl's experience fleeing Vietnam
at the end of Vietnam War and immigrating to the United States as a
refugee and what that experience was like. And I found a very beautiful
beautiful book. So in a total different direction, I was in the true crime section
looking. I finally . . . I didn't even realize they had one. And this lady was there, and
she was a huge true crime fan. All of a sudden, she picks up this book and throws
it into my tote bag, like, "This! You have to read this!" And this is the
last victim a true life journey into the mind of serial killer by Jason Moss
with Jeffrey Kottler. And she described it like this, and—there's no, like,
blurbs on the back really. It's just . . . there's no . . . it's weird—Anyway, she
described it as this kid went in to interview a serial killer and came out
and then like killed himself a few days later . . . something . . . a few hours later? I don't
know. That's what she said. She said it's really expensive on eBay,
and I had to buy it [Dylan Barking] Thank you, Dylan. And it was only 50 cents.
Like, sure! There were some books that I found from
this year that I picked up, so I found a first edition copy of EDUCATED by Tara
Westover. It's gone off onto my shelf. I totally forgot to put on here, but I
found a first edition. And the one I had bought from Amazon was not first edition,
so I switched them out. So I was . . . I was so excited to find that I just . . . I just love
that kind of thing, and in another book that I found in that vein is a book that
came out this year: EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON by Kate Bowler.
So this author is a professor of philosophy. I think she specializes in
the prosperity gospel, the idea that if you do good things good things will
happen to you. You could tell I have feelings about that kind of philosophy.
But anyway, I find this in but this is an interesting book because she studied
that and taught that and done so many things with the idea. And then she's
diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, and if you believe the prosperity gospel, you
believe that something bad happens to you then you have done something to
deserve it, almost. That's what that conversely means. Although, I'm sure she
would have answers for those questions in the book, but I find that very
interesting. That someone who believed that kind of thing is facing this, so I'm
very interested see her perspective. And I think it's important to read other
perspectives than just the ones you disagree with.
So I'm so interested to see what she has to say, and this came out this year. And
it was like two dollars. No one was in the nonfiction section at the time, and
so I got a lot of the first picks. I was very, very happy with that.
Speaking of nonfiction, I found a delightful book and that is a APPETITE
FOR LIFE, a biography of Julia Child, by Noel Riley Fitch. Now,
I brought this home, and I was flipping through it. And I found . . . someone loved
Julia Child so much they cut out a lot of her obituaries from newspapers and
had them in the book. [Dylan Barking] I don't know what he's barking at. I just want to talk
about Julia Child, Dylan. Anyway, I feel like a person who loves Julia Child that
much, I need to take care of this book. And take care and appreciate the love
this person had to cut out the obituaries and put them in her biography. So I am
going to do that, and I'm going to read it. You know I love Jonathan Stroud, so I
finally found the last book in the Bartimaeus trilogy. This is PTOLEMY'S GATE.
These are my favorite audiobooks, so I never actually bought them in print. So I
just listened to them on audio over and over, but I have been finding them for a
couple dollars at these library sales. And so I found the last one now. I just
need the prequel, and I think I might start collecting THE SCREAMING STAIRCASE
series, which I'll talk to you guys about in my next wrap up. So I finally finished it.
Well this is about a different type of London, where magicians are in Parliament
and run the country. But they actually have no power. It's demons that they
summon and control. And Bartemaeus is one of the viewpoint characters, and he is one of
those demons, and he's very snarky and I love him.
Also, he uses footnotes which is brilliant I just, I just love him. So if
you haven't checked out this trilogy, you definitely should. It's fun, and it
teaches kids about footnotes. And also it changes perspective cuz Bartemaeus is in
first person, and then Nathaniel, the magician who controls him, is in third
person. So I learned so much from this book, and I didn't even realize when I
read it when I first came out. Anyway, I definitely go check these out. Just keep
saying that, but it love Bartemaeus so much. He's one my favorite characters. He's so
snarky. Jonathan Stroud does such a great job with that. So a book that I picked up
just because of the author, and that's Louise Erdrich a PLAGUE OF DOVES, and I
have no idea what this is about. But I don't need to know because it's Louise
Erdrich, and she's amazing. And she wrote THE ROUND HOUSE, which I thought was amazing.
It also won the National Book Award, so I'm not the only one that thinks that.
But I want to read more of her books, and I really need to find a good one because
I didn't like her most recent book. And I want to read all of her stuff, so I'm
hoping that this is one, that I will like it. So there we go. So another book I
found is actually a first edition of Gillian Flynn's GONE GIRL. I was thinking
about this book a lot, and I was able to read the book without knowing anything
about it. It's a miracle. I don't know how because this has one of the biggest plot
twists known to recent like thrillers, and I really enjoyed it. I don't know. I
think it's great to be able to go into a book, especially a popular book like this,
being totally clueless and not knowing it's popular or anything about
it, and just reading it. And so that's what I did. And I need . . . I wish I could do
that for Samuel, but he already watched the movie, and it's a total spoiler. But
yeah, this is one of this the phenomenal book with a great ending. I need to get
Autumn to read it, but I think she already knows the spoiler. That's just a problem.
It's like reading NEVER LET ME GO and knowing the spoiler, which I did. And it
was sad situation. So the last book I have to show you is this just tome of a
book, and that is JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL by Susanna Clarke. This came out
several years ago and was all the buzz. And I actually have a paperback edition
of this somewhere. I actually don't know where it is now, but I found this
hardback edition for just two dollars. And I was like yep just picking that up
and putting that in my tote bag. This is a Pride and Prejudice plus magic and
stuff. I've never actually finished this book, but I'm going to it's on my list of
books that I definitely want to. And I read a few hundred pages of it but
I think I was in grad school or something and didn't have time anyway. I do want
to finish this, and also I just love this I just look at that. It's huge it was
like the biggest fantasy book ever, and I wonder what she's working on now. I don't
know, but yeah. There is that one. So I said I wasn't gonna show you any books
that I bought for someone else, but I don't think Jack watches my channel. So
my nephew loves Star Wars, and he loves mechanics. He is a numbers boy, like
his dad. And he loves mechanics and building
things, and he loves Star Wars. Jack is basically me if I loved numbers and was
a boy. [laughs] Right, so he loves Star Wars and he loves mechanics and this is a breakdown
of the different vehicles in Star Wars Episode I. Oh my goodness, this looks
amazing, and it was a dollar. And so I was like, "Of course, he's gonna get
this cuz it's amazing!" And I was so happy and Samuel is like, "Did you really buy
that for Jack or was it for you? I was like, "Well, I mean, I can't give it to him till
I see him at Christmas, so it's like well. I'll just I'll just wait. It can hang
out with me for awhile." [laughs] Anyway, that's all that I got at the library sale this
year. Tell me about your library. Do they have library sales? What kind are
they? Do you get great hauls out of them? I love ours. I think they do a really
great job ,and it's a great way to support your local library. And so if you
love an industry or if you love books like we do here on booktube I think
that's definitely a great way to support an industry you love. So there you go. I
guess that's it for me for now. I will be back later to tell you about some of the
books that I read in October. Until then I'll talk to you later!

A $500 Knife Made for Chopping- The 10" Carothers Medium Chopper Review in 3V steel with actual use. - Duration: 11:46.
Now I dabble on blade forums.
I use it for info, research, and to watch people argue for pages about which is thicker
behind the edge, a convex or a flat grind.
The answer is beer of course.
Drink a fucking beer and put the keyboard down.
So needless to say I often times I don't read threads in the Manufacturers fan fiction
sub forum, or the Yes I paid $500 for a knife I can chop wood with real good with or use
once a year on my hunting trip in the Knifemakers sub forum.
In the latter forums, the knife makers section, I have missed one of my favorite categories
of shouldn't you just buy a goddamn axe, style knives, the Carothers 10" HD chopper.
Looks like this one has it's preorders closed, not that people who still ask for Ganzo reviews
who care.
Here's my review of the latest Ganzo.
It's about 4-5 ounces, 440c sharpens easy, has liners and some color of G10.
So let's take a look at the dimensions of this knife that cost half as much as my first
car- a 74 pontiac LeMans, for no one out there keeping track of Advanced Knife Bro trivia.
Would it surprise you if I said I did not in fact lose my virginity in that car?
Like the overall length and weight.
With and without the sheath with dangler attachment.
Let's talk car payments and prices right now, like this is a knife review.
Blade length and copping edge.
Did you know I have never paid more than $5000 for a car.
Handle Size and grip area.
My current one cost only $3900, so I could also have money left over for knives.
Why fix the AC when I could get another knife.
Spine, handle thickness, and edge.
My behind the edge measurement is a little more than the video I'll link at the end.
Always be skeptical of my behind the edge measurements, as well as most of the other
ones too.
Tallnesses.
The Carother's 10" HD chopping knife is a well thought out design.
As in they thought blade forums was ripe for the picking in it's supply of dudes who'll
pay $500 for a tank of a knife they might use or probably trade.
The possibilities of 3V are endless!
Starting with it's 10" full non sense blade with wood groove up top.
"That's not a wood groove."
Yeah it is, I said it's one.
Made for sweet beautiful chopping.
The blade is a stone washed finish in a drop point style with a slightly convex grind.
Looks like it might be flat, but I detect an ever so outward curve if the light hits
it right.
Out of the package the blade is razor sharp.
Now part of the price point on the knife is the 3V steel and it's special heat treat.
On Carothers website he chops nails with the knife, and beats through a cinder block.
And for the dad's watching, ready to post underneath that video that knives aren't
for cinder blocks… you're right that's what your new framing hammer is for.
The knife while not razor sharp after the fact, still has a sorta workable edge, which
is pretty impressive.
I mean new this one is razor sharp and it's steel will hold an edge for a long time, so
you shouldn't even have to Sharpen it before you eventually sell it to make rent.
Also 3v isn't rust free, so be sure to not let moisture sit on your blade after an especially
tactical adventure or just yard work the neighbors will talk about like me.
The handle.
It's simple and beautiful- like a knife should be and also with removable scales.
It has half polished micarta handle scales over a full tang.
Plenty of texture, but not harsh.
Nowhere on the grip area is a harsh edge, the ricasso is chamfered and the steel front
quillion is just as comfortable as the rest of the handle.
Also feels good in the palm with that nice swell.
It has a hidden lanyard hole on the back, and one up front too.
There's a little bit of innofennsive jimping on the blade spine for something to push against,
not harsh at all.
The sheath is kydex.
You can get the ridiculous tech clip offering or the preferred drop loop configuration.
I am sure there are useful ways of using a tech clip, but I've never found one.
Can you recycle them?
I've never carried a fix blade horizontal.
The kydex sheath is a tight fit, and the knife sorta clips into place deeper down than you'd
expect.
Retention when sheathed is great, even though there's no handle loop to snap.
There's a drain hole in the bottom for plant based goo.
The knife is significant, so when it's a dangling it feels like you have a brick tied to your
belt, and swings around as such.
I always refer back to zombie tools, but my Kukri has a nice kydex sheath with a leg loop,
and that keeps the knife swing to a minimum.
A cheap leg loop configuration would be a nice offering, and could probably net them
$50 more for a person willing to pay $500 for a knife!
One buckle and two pieces of paracord.
Comparisons.
This is nice knife.
The steel, the hand feel, the price, and the looks are all there.
Perfect for your cosplay at Bush-con and Dave Canturbiury outfit.
Dave would only carry a knife he designed!
And is ponytail band is made from tree bark faker!
Other than the sheath being a little less than adequest for the weight, I have no real
complaints about this knife.
It's a utilitarian extravagance for field testing artists everywhere- Carothers can
use that for their website if they want.
All I ask is for a free knife.
Now the Zombie tools Vakra.
This is a $280 chopper, with not what people are really into these days 5160 steel, which
is more rust prone than the 3v in the 10 inch chopper.
The handle on this one is reasonably comfortable, and the kukri shape gives it more meat in
the chopping area of the blade.
Kukris however aren't quite as batonable as a knife with a simple drop point.
It's longer reach means it also doubles as a machete.
Now the Junglas II.
Lighter, and smaller, but that means less chopping.
The handle is nicer on the Carothers too.
This is about a $150 knife, and the steel isn't as wear resistant as the 3v and it's
lighter almost puny looking even.
Cheaper steel means you have to sharpen it more in theory.
Now the BK-9.
The BK-9 also has a very nice handle because I paid $40 to upgrade it, pretty similar size
blade, but the Carothers edge is a bit further out from the handle because of the choil.
On a chopper, a blade that sits a little further away isn't bad.
I don't think I would use the choil for choking up, even though you might, but I appreciate
the extra reach it gives you.
Now the Skrama.
This knife also features a dangler sheath, it doesn't swing around as much as the 10"
chopper because it's lighter.
Longer handle too, and ultimately a little more comfortable because it's rubberized and
has a little more give if you squeeze it.
Now not really comparisons other than size.
This is an Esee 3- a reasonably sized outdoor fixed blade camp knife.
And an Ontario 18" machete.
Ok let's continue chopping.
If you were to need one chopper, a stupid statement if you're watching reviews about
fucking knives- this would be an excellent pick.
The price is incredibly steep for most people, but also most people don't need choppers,
or can find cheaper alternatives if they want to trade down in steel.
I don't own any knives quite as big as this one outside of my Kukris, which are my main
choppers.
Oh wait my $50 Aranyik cane machete I can split wood with… forgot- I own too many
knives.
You also have to take into consideration this is a much smaller company that doesn't have
the production capabilities like larger companies do... and concentrates more on each knife,
making sure it's right- otherwise you'd flame them on blade forums before sending
them an email like an adult.
Let's say they know their audience.
If you like using outdated comparisons, this is a Cadillac in the chopper category.
Maybe like an Escalade.
There is nothing I will do in the course of the test to dull this blade significantly
before sending it back , so you can assume the edge held fine and it's like new unless
I told you otherwise.
I rarely even dull smelly old 1095 in these tests, and have yet to sharpen the disgusting
5160 on my zombie tools vakra.
You might ask what I think it's worth- taking into consideration my choppers in the $50-$300
category… fit and finish is probably the best, and I'd wager I'd pay $350 if money
was no object for me.
Like it's not almost twice as good as my Zombie tools.
Anyway a few channel notes before I close.
My wife is about to give birth to our second child, so for sometime my video capability
might be greatly reduced.
If you're worried about me, and if I'm still into knives the answer will probably be uhh
sorta- but still not enough to have conversations with friends or family about knives ever.
But I'm into family more.

Ingrids Revenge - Duration: 14:23.
Ingrid's Revenge
Hello, I am Ingrid! I am still exhausted!
Something strange happened to me yesterday!
I never knew what I was capable to do!
But learning never stops!
I wanna tell you now what happened to me yesterday!
Well, my male nurse Martin learned a lesson yesterday he will never forget!
All started out like a typical morning
Martin woke me up.
Then he went in the kitchen to prepare my food.
But I did not get food - I just heard some weird noise!
And because of THIS beard he was always very proud!
Martin was very respectless, but I did not dare to tell him because I was very afraid of him.
Later on that day I wanted to go for a walk! I was looking forward to enjoying the fine weather!
But I felt very weak yesterday and needed an escort.
Martin helped me to walk.
When he turned into that way I already knew to which terrible place we we were going!
To that terrible edge!
Martins wants me to sit there so he can just run away and no one will know about it!
But then he always takes my rollator with him and makes me stuck to that place!
But today I wanted to fight!
I did not wanted to sit there! I wanted to fight for my rollator!
No!
I did not have any chance!
He pushed me and did not care about me and walked away!
I felt very dizzy, but thank god I had a very old energy drink in my jacket!
I was glad to use it.
But I felt more dizzy after drinking. It was very hot and I thought I could really need a tissue!
And I wanted a cold drink!
I did not know what happened to me, but it felt very amazing!
I wanted to check out more.
Even though it aroused attention!
Now I had the courage to complain about Martin!
But when I thought about Martin a knife flew in my hand! That must be a sign! The day of revenge has arrived!
And then I thought about the weird horror films Martins sometimes watched ... and I got an idea!
Martins went to the basement to get more beer!
And I followed him!
The basement looked different that day!
Martin felt more and more uncomfortable!
He wanted to leave!
But he lost his way!
Martin tried to find the entrance. But is this the correct way out?
Did he really thought he could get away so easily?
Martin could not move!
I wanted revenche!! But first I wanted to cut off his disgusting beard!
But it didnt work! First I got angry!
But than I got an idea!! Hahaha!
Suddenly I heard a weird noise behind me!
Suddenly I felt dizzy - and I fainted!
When I woke up I saw Martin laying on the ground. He fainted because of a shaving?
The monster was killed!
I cleaned the mess.
Then I teleported us upstairs.
Then I was in my appartment and rested!
My crazyness in the basement was very exhausting and I'm ashamed that I freaked out so much!
And Martin?
He really changed!
He has now much respect for me!
I really hope it will stay this way!
But I think it will!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories is Weird and Terrible - Duration: 25:18.
- [JAMES] So originally,
I was going to being this video with something along the lines of
"who remembers Yu-Gi-Oh!" but I'm not.
An intro like that would imply that this series has been dead or something
when in reality it's probably bigger than
it has ever been.
I say that as someone who has been away from the franchise
for at least most of, if not all of,
the past decade.
I remember as a kid tuning in to watch
the Pokémon anime,
but before each episode I would often catch the
tail end of an episode
of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.
I didn't catch much initially.
Mainly, unlike Pokémon,
which my sister also enjoyed and which my parents didn't mind us watching on the living room TV,
Yu-Gi-Oh! soon became what my mother referred to as
"that Japanese show with the weird hair where they scream about card games."
I find this to be a very accurate summary.
Like many things from when I was a child, though,
something having that nice combination of being marketed at
my age demographic
and also having this weird appeal of my
parents not really liking it, particularly my mother,
caused it to actually be vastly appealing to me.
I really got into Yu-Gi-Oh!
But in addition to getting into the series myself,
the series itself just became hugely popular
throughout my entire neighbourhood and indeed my elementary school.
It truly exploded, though, when I hit the second grade.
I was actually introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game
via the elementary school playground.
It became sort of an obsession.
Cards became a status symbol.
Those more than anything else.
At that point in my childhood, particularly during the second grade,
these were childhood friends I had known since before I was school age.
We were all addicted to Yu-Gi-Oh!
To be honest, by the time I got out of Yu-Gi-Oh!,
which was around 2008, mid way through Yu-Gi-Oh! GX,
I probably had at least a few thousand cards. No joke!
Y'know, I kind of regret selling them all at this point. I had all of the God cards.
I had all of the Sacred Beasts from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
I even had three of the five Exodia pieces!
Side note: unlike most friend groups
which were into collecting the cards but not playing the game,
my friend group as a kid was definitely into playing the game itself.
What helped this was, beginning my second grade year,
there was this one DVD that started floating around local Wal-Marts that
that actually taught you how to play the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game.
I swear it became a must own for every single kid!
Along with just being a nice, basic overview of the card game itself,
it also had copious references to the anime series which
I'm sure helped retain the attention of us seven and eight-year-olds!
Shockingly enough, the thing I was most oblivious to as a kid, Yu-Gi-Oh!-wise anyways,
were the numerous - and I mean numerous - video games based off the series.
The only one I ended up owning as a kid was Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul for Game Boy Advance.
I remember playing that a decent bit,
but I honestly don't remember much of the actual game content.
That honestly likely says a lot about the quality of the game itself
but that's besides the point because that's not the title we're looking at today.
Instead, we're looking at the first Yu-Gi-Oh! game to be released in the west:
Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories for Game Boy Color.
So let's get right into it!
So welcome to Stuff We Play,
home of everything weird and retro, and if that sounds cool to you,
why not subscribe?
So, what we're looking at today
definitely fits the bill
of weird and retro.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories was the first Yu-Gi-Oh! game to ever be released...
in North America, anyways.
Yu-Gi-Oh! itself first appeared in 1996
as a manga that wasn't even focused on card games.
Instead, it followed teenager Yugi Muto,
who upon completing the Millenium Puzzle,
a strange ancient Egyptian artifact that had been discovered by his grandfather,
unleashes the soul of Pharaoh Atem,
who on occasion assumes control of Yugi's body,
forcing him to grow two feet taller,
and then challenges people to mysterious "shadow games",
in which their lives are put on the line.
Unlike the 4Kids version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime,
in the early manga chapters, and indeed the Japanese-exclusive Toei Yu-Gi-Oh! adaption,
which ultimately preceded the anime that became super popular over here by two entire years,
the Pharaoh does some absolutely
horrendous, wretched stuff.
Admittedly, this is to people who probably had it coming.
Like, look at this here
where the Pharaoh sets a man on fire for losing a Shadow Game!
Wow that's screwed up!
Eventually though,
the manga and anime introduced a card game.
While originally known as "Magic and Wizards",
it was later renamed in-universe to "Duel Monsters".
This would serve as the basis for the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game itself.
This would, as is evident by this point,
go on to be absolutely massive.
As for video games, the first one of these to be released was
Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule: Breed and Battle for the Playstation 1
exclusively in Japan in July 1998.
This was more of a monster breeding game than a card game, uh, game
but was followed in December of that year by
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters for the original Game Boy.
This was also Japanese exclusive.
The confusing bit comes the following year in 1999.
In July of that year,
the second handheld game was released:
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories.
Despite having a similar name to the game we're looking at today,
this one was actually also Japanese exclusive.
Mind blowing, I know.
But then in December of that year,
Japan also got Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for the PS1!
The game in-question today wasn't even released until 2000,
where it was known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters III: Tri-Holy God Advent!
However, when the franchise's video games would finally make their way to the western world in 2002,
this would be renamed in the west to Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories.
This was despite being a sequel to the game that actually had that name in Japan!
Thus, this would make it the first game in the franchise to see a western release,
upon coming out on 18 March 2002.
Then, it would be followed by the western version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories on PS1
literally two days later.
The first of the Game Boy Advance games,
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul
would be released only a little over six months later in North America.
As you can see, a lot of games based off Yu-Gi-Oh! were released in quick succession.
But y'now what, rushed release or not,
is Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories,
the North American Game Boy Color game
that's actually Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters III: Tri-Holy God Advent in Japan,
worth your time and is it any fun?
Well let's find out.
- [PHARAOH] Welcome to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories!
Before you start, input your duel name.
This will be the name you use while dueling
as card games are only acceptable when played anonymously.
Now if you excuse me, I must go.
Technically, I'm not even in this game after this.
I'm only available as a secret duel in the post game!
And they still put me on the box! Haha!
- [JAMES] The game honestly opens just like that.
You're presented with all of these options here
but they honestly all mostly mean nothing when you start.
You have a basic deck and need to get better cards, and in this game
you earn cards by winning duels.
Unlike the first Pokémon Trading Card Game video game,
which was released in 1998 for the Game Boy Color
and had its own unique RPG style adventure,
and will also be my main source of comparison for this title,
as I played that game an absolute ton as a kid,
Dark Duel Stories instead features you,
as a silent, faceless protagonist
as you play card games with various characters
from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga series.
You get this Mega Man style stage select screen
and get to choose who you take on first in a duel.
To start off, let's begin with fan favourite side character
Joey Wheeler.
- [JOEY] Ay it's ya boy Joey.
I'm the school's second best duelist!
If you want to face the best,
you'll have to get through me and my inadequacy issues first!
- [JAMES] So I jumped into my first duel with Joey
and I realised something crucial here:
to win at this game,
I was going to have to once again
get familiar with the inner workings of the
Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.
Thankfully, the in-depth how-to DVD that I mentioned earlier
was ripped years ago and is now easily available free-to-watch on YouTube!
Despite how it looks,
the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, even in Dark Duel Stories,
is a little bit more complex than just magical Uno.
At the beginning of each game,
a player is randomly selected to go first
and each of the two players draw five cards.
Small note:
it's literally completely random and I have no idea how it's decided who goes first.
Pokémon TCG on the Game Boy
at least had a little coin flip at the beginning of each card game.
Unfortunately, nothing of that sort is present here.
However, from here,
you can summon monsters to the field in either attack mode or defense mode.
What mode you summon your monsters in
may be more viable depending on their attack points and defense points.
Though you can't attack on your first turn,
in subsequent turns,
your opponent will try to destroy your monsters
to try to take down your life points to "zero".
Damage happens if they either attack you directly
if you have no monsters on the field,
or if they attack one of your monsters
and their monster's attack points are higher than your monster's attack points.
At this point, your monster is sent to the Graveyard,
or I guess "GY" as it's called now,
and removed from play.
Then you receive damage to your life points.
This is unless it was in defense mode, in which case the monster is still destroyed
but your life points take zero damage.
There's also numerous spell and trap cards.
These can be set and activated
at numerous times throughout the match to cause effects to you or your opponent,
such as Pot of Greed here...
whatever that does.
Also, not all monsters can be directly summoned to the field.
Instead, each monster is given a level.
If their level is five or higher,
you will have to "tribute" and remove a monster or two of yours from play
in order to summon them.
Also, some monsters have special abilities and effects that you can activate
while they are in play.
Furthermore, some monsters can be fused together
using a card such as Polymerization
to create a fusion monster,
except said card doesn't exist in this video game
so it has its own arbitrary fusion summoning system in place
that I never figured out.
Oh, and some cards also outright
behave completely differently in this game than in the actual card game
and it's kind of a mess.
Well, perhaps mess isn't the best way to describe it
but it's certainly confusing.
I mean holy crap I was a smart kid
because this isn't as easy as I remember it being.
To use the Pokémon example again,
in that title there were tutorials built into the game
that would actually teach you
the basic mechanics of the card game itself.
These were helpful.
Not only did these teach me as a kid how to play that card game within the video game,
but it also taught me the mechanics of the actual card game itself.
These actually helped me get into playing that!
Going back to tutorials themselves though,
Dark Duel Stories has nothing of that sort.
You have to do outside research
and that may not even prepare you for the changes this game makes
to the literal card game it's based off of!
Perhaps this could be forgiven if the game had a sense of flow and speed to it,
but it doesn't.
To put it bluntly,
Dark Duel Stories is very slow and very janky.
Card games all take place on this white background,
and despite the cards themselves having art that is
very well done and reminiscent of their actual designs,
there is little to no movement throughout the duels.
If you use a card such as, say, "Mountain",
the field does not get a mountainous background.
If you attack your opponent using a monster of your own that has a sword or a lance,
you don't see a slice effect on your opponent!
Honestly, these duels have about as much flow and flair
as an actual card game.
I know some might praise this and be like
"oh it's more faithful to the card game itself"
but do I really need realism in my
magical monster fighting children's card game?
So we finally beat Joey using our crappy starter deck, and trust me,
it's quite crappy.
But then we're greeted by Téa.
Y'know, one of like
three female characters from the anime?
- [TEA] You won so you get a card part!
You also get Pot of Greed,
whatever that does.
- [JAMES] So let me stress this:
it's one singular trading card.
Not a pack of cards, mind you.
One singular trading card!
This is all you've got.
At least we finally beat Joey, though.
From here we can finally play around with deck building and modification.
Everything is organized into these list based menus
and this is particularly terrible
whenever you try to build a new deck.
Cards seem to be in a random order
and can't be sorted by card type or, well, alphabetically.
Furthermore, there is randomly thirty
empty pages in the deck builder
that seemed pointless to me
until I realized what the card parts actually did.
After awhile, and I mean a long while of playing the game,
you will eventually get enough card parts
to use this equally clunky and unintuitive
card builder tool
to make some of the most powerful cards in the game.
Again, no instruction is given on this
and while I'm sure if I had this game's instruction manual
it might explain this a bit in-depth,
let me remind you that this game's main competition
had a video game
that had the option to have stuff like this explained
two years before this was released!
The only way to get better cards during normal gameplay
is to defeat the various duelists in the game.
The cards you get are completely random and range from great to Kuriboh.
However, unless you want to grind against a piss-easy duelist
such as Tristan for a few hours-
- [TRISTAN] I'm grind fodder!
- [JAMES] The easiest way to get new cards
is by using the game's password system.
Now, I have no idea how you'd find out about any of this when this game first came out.
I know a lot of people
had the internet by 2002,
but not everyone!
Regardless, I'm now lucky enough
to live in the modern day,
and despite all of the issues that the modern world has,
was still have GameFAQs
and with that,
a list of all the hundreds of different passwords
you can use within this game.
But what do they do?
Well, the first password you should use
while playing this game, if you ever feel like playing it,
is the one that unlocks Yugi's grandpa.
Grandpa was just a small side character
who runs a card shop in the anime,
but here he functions as a second Téa.
This means that upon beating any duelist
you'll be given two card parts and two new trading cards.
In addition to this,
if and when you beat the game, and I mean "IF",
and we'll get into that later,
you can use the password system
to unlock additional duels against characters from the show and manga.
These are characters such as, y'know, Marik
or the Pharaoh.
He's on the game box, y'know.
Yet, this is the only way you can actually duel him.
However, you can also get almost every
single card in the game through passwords.
The caveat, of course,
is you can only get one of each card for each password.
This means that if there are any cards you want to include
multiples of in your forty card deck,
well, happy grinding!
That reminds me, in order to progress through this game's
rough semblance of something that could be called a "story"
you have to take on each duelist
five
times.
And win, of course.
After the first initial duels,
NPC dialogue doesn't really change much.
For example, in all subsequent duels with Joey,
he says this:
- [JOEY] I've got no intention of losing!
Not until I'm sure I'm the best
or at least somewhat decent!
- [JAMES] And I think now I should also mention
that most of the footage you're looking at right now
has been sped up.
This is because, holy crap, this game is
slooooooooow!
But anyways, after an eternity,
we finally beat Joey
five separate times!
We are then given a nugget along these lines:
- [JOEY] One day I'm gonna be the best...
and I'll duel until that day comes!
- [JAMES] So anyways, you continue through the game
and it tries to cover various bits from the anime and manga story.
The first batch of duelists is based off the Duelist Kingdom arc from the
first anime season.
Despite this, Maximillion Pegasus,
who was the big bad there,
is nowhere to be found.
After beating each of these guys FIVE TIMES,
we move on to the next section,
which covers the Battle City arc from the second and third seasons of the anime.
It is here, of course,
where we meet fan favourite egocentric billionaire
Seto Kaiba.
- [KAIBA] I'm Seto Kaiba,
president of the Kaiba Corporation
and a level above your standard duelist.
I'm afraid this is the end of your winning streak.
- [JAMES] Oddly enough, with how Kaiba is positioned on the character select screen,
you can tell he's intended as some sort of boss duel, though,
honestly, compared to some of the duels that came before him
he's not that bad.
Who was a real pain here, though,
especially when I tried to play this game before I knew about the password system,
was this guy.
This stupid,
magician
clown
dude
who wasn't even important enough
in the grand scheme of things for me to even remember his name!
However, he had a deck built around the Dark Magician card.
This is funny, seeing as this is Yugi's,
y'know the main character of the show and manga, main card.
But y'know, when I actually duelled Yugi earlier in the game,
he didn't even manage to summon it!
But anyways, this guy who uses Dark Magician
kicked my ass.
However, he also had some of the most interesting
dialogue in the game once I beat him.
Well, y'know, for the FIFTH TIME!
- [ARKANA] Pressure! I just love pressure!
You think you've won? Idiot!
Every magician has got an escape!
In fact, I...my dear...MARIK!
- [MARIK] I...hate excuses! You know the rule!
You lose, you pay!
There's no excuse!
- [JAMES] That! You hear that?
That actually got me a bit excited.
Marik was one of the major villains from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime
and was one of my favourite characters,
especially with the more childish portrayal he was given in
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series.
I was pumped to duel Marik.
It's just a shame that, much like I mentioned earlier and as is also the case with the Pharaoh,
he's locked behind a password
that can only be used if/when you beat the game.
So you go and beat each of these duelists five times
and then you go on to...ancient Egypt?
Okay.
These duels are definitely more annoying than the ones that preceded them, but
honestly they're just more of the same.
I could talk about how the difficulty seems to have hugely spiked somewhere around here,
but also honestly,
the game itself by now has just become so repetitive
what with the mostly static presentation,
that I've become numb to it by this point
and was only playing through sheer willpower
to make a hopefully entertaining review.
Also, I don't know who half of these people are!
I know her.
She was in the anime.
And him, who's just Kaiba's ancient Egyptian recolour, also from the anime.
- [PRIEST SETO] I'm an original character. Do not steal.
- [JAMES] Finally, after much perseverance,
I finally get past these four and reach the final boss of the game!
But I wonder, who do YOU think is the final boss of the game?
For all of you Yu-Gi-Oh! fans out there!
Well, we already know it's not Pegasus or Marik.
Nor is it you, helping Yugi fight the
Pharaoh to reconcile the fact that he's
been constantly possessed on occasion
by a three thousand-year-old dead guy
in order to play card games!
Honestly, the most logical big bad here seems to be Bakura,
who if you watch either of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime adaptions
ended up being the end-all be-all final encounter of the series.
However, as far as I can tell,
he's not even in this game and it's...
this...dude.
- [DARKNITE] Ha ha ha!
It was I all along who was...
playing card games.
Why am I the end game final boss?
What was I even doing?
I assume that I'm somehow evil.
Is this part of the game still in ancient Egypt?
Does this have something to do with the pyramids being built by slaves?
- [JAMES] I'm completely baffled!
This game hardly had any story
and this even still managed to come out of nowhere!
I honestly don't remember HIM
from anything pertaining to Yu-Gi-Oh!
That really doesn't matter, though, because
he's a cheating S.O.B.
Well, technically anyways.
Darknite's deck has a few major gimmicks.
Obviously he has some super powerful monsters and spell cards,
such as Raigeki, which destroys all monsters on your opponent's side of the field, and which
you'll usually find at least one of in most actual high level Yu-Gi-Oh! decks,
but Fortnite also abuses
two of the most powerful spell cards in the game.
These are Swords of Revealing Light and Change of Heart.
Now, before I go on,
I need to mention that, yes,
you can get each of these cards yourself. I got one of each by using the password feature!
However, even if you had a maximum of four of each of these
you could still potentially not be able to use them due to one of the most arbitrary additions to this game:
the deck levelling system.
Your character begins this game at some really low level.
Some cards are restricted based on your duelist level, such as Pot of Greed or Change of Heart.
However, each card also has a certain number of points allotted to it
and your deck can't have over a certain amount of points.
Even at the maximum level that you can achieve in this game,
which is two hundred and fifty five,
some deck combinations are still impossible.
So, Swords of Revealing Light and Change of Heart
are two of the best cards in the game.
Also, it is unlikely that you,
like Darknite here,
will be able to have the maximum number of them in your deck.
Swords of Revealing light has a simple yet powerful effect.
Once played, your opponent can not attack you for three turns.
This means that unless you have a damage dealing spell or trap card,
your opponent is immune from damage.
In addition to this, in Dark Duel Stories at least,
the effects of this card stack,
meaning that in the absolute worst case scenario
Darknite will have you immobilized from attacking him
for a maximum of twelve turns!
This is way more than is necessary for him
to kick your sorry ass to the curb.
But let's say Darknite here doesn't manage to pull off Swords of Revealing Light,
or he does but you still manage to get some good draws
and summon your strongest possible monsters to the field.
You'll be safe with something with more than three thousand attack or defense points, right?
Wrong.
Change of Heart is the card that he uses to add
insult to injury.
This card allows you to take control of one of your opponents monsters.
Not as in "oh! they get to attack you with it for one turn!"
but as in this is their's now
to do whatever they want with
for the rest of the game.
So let's say you get your strongest dang monster onto the field
and that you feel confident about surviving Darknite's attacks.
Well think again, buddy!
Because with just one card
he can turn one of your biggest defenders
into one of your worst nightmares.
Ideally, of course,
you'll have other cards to protect you
but believing in the heart of the cards
doesn't work as well as the show would leave you to believe.
With this in mind,
it's no wonder that I, after countless deck rebuilds
and hundreds upon hundreds of battles,
never beat this guy and ultimately just gave up.
It was at this point that I had a choice to make:
do I continue on with this mind numbing card game video game?
Or do I concede defeat and go back to living a productive,
healthy, normal life,
or at least as close to one of those as a YouTuber can have.
I chose the latter.
So overall, how is Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories for Game Boy Color?
Well, I can't speak for its multiplayer features
as, mainly because whenever I tried asking friends
"Hey! Do you want to play a Yu-Gi-Oh! game with me?"
they assumed I meant I wanted to play an actual card game.
But, as far as the single player experience goes,
it's lacklustre at best and wretchedly awful at the worst.
Between the bland presentation,
snail's pace flow,
cheap duels,
a soundtrack so forgettable that this is the only mention I'm giving it,
and a disregard for the rules of the actual card game
that this is based on and comprises 95% of any and all gameplay within this title...
it's not a good time.
If you're a diehard Yu-Gi-Oh! collector,
sure, buy this game for collector's purposes.
But then again, if you're a diehard Yu-Gi-Oh! fan or collector,
you likely already own it.
My copy right here cost me
$5 at a local retro game store,
and keep in mind that I live in Canada,
so that $5 is like, what,
$3.50 American?
As for anyone else who thinks this game might look interesting
or wants some sort of way to
well, I guess, experience the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game in a digital form,
don't buy this.
Not even for nostalgia purposes.
It's bad!
Buyer beware!
It's not a good time.
You're better off playing either that PS4 or mobile game
that I keep hearing a lot of great stuff about.
I'll be honest, if you want the most fun possible from a trading card game video game
and it doesn't matter what card game it is,
player either one of the two Pokémon TCG games on Game Boy Color.
However, this game is a trainwreck.
But, perhaps it's so bad that it's scary.
That makes it fitting, then, that this is my Halloween special.
I have no qualms saying I gave up on this title. I mean,
it's just a video game and, y'know,
I had fun talking about Yu-Gi-Oh! and
reminiscing about it and maybe this review,
even if this game wasn't great,
maybe it's going to get me back into the franchise!
Besides, not winning at a virtual card game isn't
going to kill me or anything, right?
Like what's it going to do?
Send my soul to the PG version of Hell? Ha ha!
I'm in the Shadow Realm now, aren't I?
Dammit.
- [PEGASUS] Fufufu. Wasn't that a delightful display of card game BS, viewer boy?
Truly tantalizing! That host in particular is so...
husky, so rugged! A true bear, if you will.
So, go share this video!
If you're good,
maybe I'll even tell you what Pot of Greed does!

Putting Away Tractors on the Ranch - Wyoming Winter Storage - Duration: 9:49.
Hi I'm Mike it's a cold and gray Wyoming Tuesday morning
hunting season is almost over the weather's not supposed to get any better
so it's time to start cleaning out the sales barn and get a bunch of equipment
put away on the project list on our Wyoming Life
welcome back to the project list a series that comes out every Tuesday
please subscribe and follow along as we tackle this list right here behind me
it's constantly growing and well I guess that's pretty much normal around here
any time of the year but a big part of the project list is being flexible and
prioritizing some projects can wait until we're looking for something to do
others need done right away but some are very much weather dependent we're pretty
much done with fall all two weeks of it we actually wondered if fall was even
going to come as we had snow back in the mitigating of October but eventually
mother nature while she cooled her jets and the weather is kind of straightened
out for a bit over the past couple weeks we've had temperatures averaging in the
high 50s to low 60s that it looks like is all done more snow is on the way we
have nighttime lows into the 20s for the next few days and temperatures only
getting up into the 30s and 40s if we're lucky when it's wintertime
around here which apparently it is then it's time to start putting equipment
away it's kind of like putting your toys away when you're done playing with them
and most of the stuff that we put away for winter we're not going to be using
again until spring but some of it we will with that in mind we just can't
throw all our toys in the closet and hope that mom doesn't find them some
equipment will need access to and with a lack of storage options around here we
have to be pretty smart about how we do it not only is this the project list
behind me but this is also the sales barn right through this door our largest
story storage area for well stuff for the last month or so it's been used
as a hunter processing and storage facility but now we're gonna take it
back and we're gonna jam it full of as much stuff as we can and sometimes to go
forward it feels like we're going backwards
this barn used to be used for cattle sales up until the 90s since then it's
been pretty much storage but before it can be storage again we need to clean it
up a little bit everything's set up for the hunters
needs to be removed and put away a carcass hanger is removed from the
rafters and tables and chairs are put away
well maybe put away might be too strong of a word let's just say stash somewhere
else even our trusty scarecrow slim who's
here to supervise this entire project gets a little bit of attention and we
switch out his hat for the one we blew up just a few weeks ago that looks
better trash mostly feed bags are removed and
burned in the incinerator then a few tons of feed that I've been
storing in here has to be moved out to make way for bigger equipment and make
it more accessible when we need it luckily the Bobcat is back up and
running on all four tires and with it we make short work of getting the 8 tons of
cow cake out of the barn and set aside for a while while we come up with a game
plan anything we don't need in here right now
we can get out like this insulation which I need to put up in the garage
we're gonna move it where we need it and the nice thing is that it'll actually
block in my Firebird so if I want to drive it I have to get the insulation up
and installed tarps are pulled up and anything in the way is moved on to the
side with that the sales barn is ready for winter guests and first up is the
baler with a lot of rubber the winter Sun will wear off baler belts pretty
fast so storing it inside only makes sense getting it in though is a bit of a
trick as our door doesn't offer much clearance and backing it in is like
backing in a small trailer small movements make a big
change in the direction you're going but once it's in place then we can
disconnect it from the tractor when we're clear then it's time to park the
4055 in here as well space is limited and since we shouldn't need the 4055
during the winter we can put it as far back as we can of course slimmer than
the way but that's easily fixed and he finds a new place to hang out out of the
way but still with a good view
next up is a 64 10 this tractor will probably see some work this winter so we
want to somewhere where you can still get it out but by putting it in next we
can ensure that it's put away and still accessible and we're going to help it
fit a bit better we're gonna remove the bucket and leave it outside this is a
newer loader than we have on our feeding tractor and disconnecting the bucket is
pretty simple all you have to do is pull one pin take off the hydraulics and back
away our brooding box for chickens is in the way but that can be moved we
shouldn't need it until next spring and now we can bring in the tractor this is
kind of like playing Tetris or if you were like me dr. Mario I always liked
that one better with our tractors in place it's time to start bringing our
feedback in this will be fed up pretty quickly after snow hits as the cows will
receive about 300 pounds of it every other day if I do need to get the
tractor out before we feed it up well then I'll probably have to move it but
for now this is the best place to put it and I'm doing it now because I also want
to do it with less equipment in here less to back into as you can't see much
out of the back of the Bobcat next up or four-wheelers I'm certain we're going to
need those this winter so they go in next somewhere where we can get them out
pretty quickly if we need them right up the middle
the 445 tractor with a lawn mower deck is brought in it as well and a smaller
lawn mower that we use for yards and places where the chance of hitting rocks
is much less
the International 606 is gonna live an ATAR this winter and it like normal it
fires right up we get in and we put it to bed last but not least the workhorse
the Bobcat is wetter did maybe a little crooked to make it fit
the batteries for all this stuff is a concern over the winter almost
everything parked in here is going to get a trickle charger to make sure that
batteries are in tip-top shape when it comes time to pull them out I have a
heavy gauge extension cord that I think my mother-in-law actually got for
Christmas lights it's been commandeered by the ranch and is now used as a handy
way to plug in all the chargers for winter this court has an outlet every
few feet and by stringing it all throughout the area I can pretty much
get an outlet by each vehicle each one is plugged in and made sure to be
working with all that the barn is full tractors lawnmowers and four-wheelers
are ready for hibernation however short it may be
we don't have a lot of storage here oddly enough I could use an equipment
shed we still need to get the Model T put away in the fire truck as well as
all the wagons they're gonna go across the road in a much smaller barn over
there and that's when we really get to squeeze in thanks for joining me for a
few hours this morning you know it doesn't seem like much of a job but by
making sure that all of our equipment is taken care of and inside we have a
better chance of not having problems in the spring winters here can get a little
bit rough and no one likes to see a tractor sitting outside in the cold
truth be told they don't like it much either now this is only the beginning of
winter eyes around winter rising around here we're gonna get everything in fuel
additives will be used as well as block eaters but it's this really gives us a
good jumping-off point and it gets me out of the cold when it comes to doing
the more work autumn / winter we'll have a bunch of tractor maintenance to do and
I hope you can join me for that as well speaking of live stream it's live stream
week here and if you've never had a chance to join us for a live stream I
really encourage you to do so they're a lot of fun we get a chance to sit down
with you and hang out for a little bit we answer questions we get your advice
and we show you more of what happens behind the scenes around here and a
bunch of stuff that never makes it into a video that happens on Thursday night
7:00 p.m. mountain time and I hope to see you there you won't regret it I know
we never do I'm gonna get some lunch I think I just heard Aaron pull in from
picking up Lincoln for preschool and then it's gonna be time to get back to
work come back and hang out again and please subscribe so that you can come
along with us and explore the ranch life escape the ordinary until I see you
again have a great week and thanks for joining us in our Wilding life

Avengers vs Chitauri / Hulk Punches Thor | The Avengers (2012) Movie Clip - Duration: 4:32.
Stark, you got a lot of strays sniffing your tail.
I'm just trying to keep them off the streets.
Well, they can't bank worth a damn.
So find a tight corner.
I will roger that.
Oh, boy.
Nice call.
What else you got?
Thor is taking on a squadron down on Sixth.
And he didn't invite me.
Captain, none of this is going to mean a damn thing
if we don't close that portal.
Our biggest guns couldn't touch it.
Well, maybe it's not about guns.
If you want to get up there, you're going to need a ride.
I got a ride.
I could use a boost, though.
Are you sure about this?
Yeah. It's gonna be fun.
Okay, turn, turn.
Less! Less!
Captain, the bank on 42nd past Madison.
They've cornered a lot of civilians in there.
I'm on it.
Everyone! Clear out!
