coleman 4WD and formative knowledge

 


My latest guilty pleasure is watching videos by Bare Knuckle Binder. I don't own an International vehicle or a Farmall tractor but this guy's videos are educational and teaches me things that I had no idea existed. His latest video on the Coleman 4WD front axle blew my mind. I had no idea that this existed. So good!

I often wonder how people arrive at the level of knowledge that they have. Like, what/who was this fella exposed to when he was in his formative years? Obviously, if you watch the channel you'll learn that he grew up in Wisconsin and on a farm, but he must of hung out with old guys that knew about this stuff. On top of that he must of been a young kid who actually enjoyed hanging out with old guys. Would that ever happen today? The phone/internet/video games seems to have destroyed the chances of that ever happening again.

I'm feeling thankful for the men and women in my life that helped shape who I am and my early knowledge base that I have built my life upon. I'm glad to have a strong foundation to keep the the latest trend/hype winds from blowing my house down.
