TDW 1707 - Inside The Cabin of Davy Crockett

0:21 overboard warm War it's my second

0:21 channel daily Vlog Channel I think I

0:22 threw my voice

0:24 out it's the daily look at this trash

0:27 truck it's picking up this couch with a

0:30 claw the claw there are huge hunks of

0:34 metal to the sky and a very decorated

0:37 water tower behind that little Motel

0:40 it's located behind this master barber

0:43 shop for some reason their American flag

0:46 is upside down maybe on accident maybe

0:49 on purpose but they've instructed us no

0:53 climbing over the fence leading to

1:03 this

1:03 amazing piece of art this all started in

1:06 1989 by a man named Billy trip who since

1:09 then has been putting his amazing puzzle

1:13 together with a little bit of everything

1:16 in fact I think I see the

1:18 base the wheels of a tank in there

1:21 somewhere it is referred to as the mind

1:25 field and there is a significance to

1:28 every piece

1:30 of this but it is a subject of great

1:34 debate on what every part

1:37 means once he started building it he

1:40 never stopped because in his words and

1:42 I'm paraphrasing no one

1:45 complained so he just kept going and

1:47 because this is one of the largest art

1:49 sculptures in Tennessee they have

1:51 started the mind field Grill and right

1:55 here on their logo you can see the fire

1:59 tower the water tower and there's even a

2:02 spoon and a fork in there wait a second

2:05 there's no Spoon and Fork well maybe

2:08 there is maybe I'm just missing it do

2:09 you see a spoon and a fork you can spend

2:12 quite a while staring at the items that

2:14 are welded on

2:17 this check this little guy out an

2:20 atomically

2:22 correct

2:24 gentleman up there or at least the

2:28 perception of one but as you peruse

2:34 down there's a heart look at this heart

2:36 right

2:42 here looks like one of those old western

2:42 style dinner Bells did I just say

2:45 atomically it's supposed to be

2:47 anatomically right anatomically correct

2:51 there's even a date stamp on it

2:53 symbolizing the fact that it is not

2:55 completed and it's always a work in

2:58 progress and it has been dedicated

3:00 to his mom and his dad and this sign

3:05 says dog bless whatever so not God

3:08 Bless but dog bless I wonder if this is

3:12 the

3:13 dog wonder if that's the dog that gives

3:17 oh look yes these old school wrestling

3:21 figures man I used to have a bunch of

3:22 the standing directly below it now

3:26 looking inside its nether region

3:30 this is pretty cool and has taken a lot

3:34 of work and a lot of

3:37 time always fascinating what people

3:40 dedicate their lives

3:43 to very interesting whoa there's even a

3:46 canoe up there do you see the

3:53 canoe I knew you'd see the

3:53 canoe you knew the canoe I don't know

3:56 where I'm going with that joke oh that

3:58 guy's carrying a CR

4:00 so where did you start from and where

4:02 you headed to I started in christberg

4:04 Virginia headed to California all the

4:07 way to California carry in the cross

4:09 trying to open up eyes and open up

4:10 Hearts Jesus will walk again and we all

4:12 need to be ready very cool man we live

4:15 in a cruel world and just trying to

4:17 bring people back towards God and Jesus

4:19 let him know that he's still there he

4:21 still loves us about how far do you walk

4:23 in a day normally I try to put it in

4:25 about an 8 hour day so about 8 hours so

4:28 you just walk basically during during

4:29 daylight daylight hours daylight and I

4:32 set up camp before nightfall so you just

4:35 set up a camp on the side of the road

4:37 back and find the spot very cool what's

4:40 your

4:40 name nice to meet you man nice to meet

4:43 you well best of luck appreciate you

4:45 have a going you look me up on Facebook

4:47 man you're on Facebook yes sir what's

4:49 your Facebook Donald Akens AK NS Donald

4:53 Akens AK NS NS all right manate have a

4:59 good one that kind of goes along with

5:00 the theme of people who dedicate their

5:02 life and their time to doing something

5:05 some people build huge AR structures

5:08 others walk across the country carrying

5:10 a cross I tried to find some bottle

5:12 water I didn't have any bottle water

5:15 other than the one I'm drinking that is

5:16 already opened I need to start carrying

5:18 bottles of water to give out in

5:21 situations like that I don't think

5:23 handing him my half drank Smart Water

5:26 would have he would have really approved

5:27 of that here he goes

5:34 best of luck

5:34 buddy check this

5:45 out just a lonely piece of a train

5:45 chilling by itself at first I was

5:48 looking at the road thinking man someone

5:50 was driving like a maniac all these skid

5:53 marks then I realized they're just the

5:56 Shadows of the telephone lines up above

6:00 they fooled me I don't know why this

6:02 makes me laugh but there's just a

6:04 random cardboard arm and a hand holding

6:09 a Dr

6:10 Pepper look at this it's supposed to

6:14 like turn and twist I don't think it's

6:16 working I don't know why it's

6:18 there after living in California bottle

6:21 water seems so much cheaper everywhere

6:23 else sometimes in these smaller towns

6:25 it's hard to figure out what the speed

6:26 level oh there it is 31 that that's okay

6:30 all right now I know it's 31 mph through

6:33 here the town of Trenton years ago had a

6:35 heated argument on if the speed limit

6:37 should be 35 or 30 and someone said

6:40 let's just make it 31 not a joke it's

6:44 really 31 miles hour their courthouse is

6:48 awesome and the murals I always point

6:50 out old Coca-Cola signage and sometimes

6:53 Pepsi well here's one that's Dr Pepper

6:57 don't see that too often all it needs is

6:58 a cardboard arm and hand holding it

7:02 right I'm pretty sure cows could graze

7:06 over there and it's very green so is

7:09 that what they mean by greener pastures

7:12 but on the other side of the road the

7:16 grass is also green so the grass is

7:20 greener on the other

7:21 side just like it is on the original

7:25 side it's very confusing pulling into

7:28 Rutherford now

7:30 the last home of Davey Crockett cabin

7:34 and museum is a replica of his last home

7:37 and his mother's grave and Monument is

7:39 here the last home originally was 4 and2

7:42 miles

7:43 east and I

7:45 believe they have built this out of the

7:48 Timber from the original home and on the

7:51 property is his mother Rebecca Hawkins

7:54 Crockett born in Maryland about

7:57 1756 died around

8:00 1834 in Gibson County Tennessee what's

8:04 that all right thank you we're at number

8:07 one and the that's the nearest that he

8:11 left to

8:12 this which is the bottom picture and

8:16 from an old postcard in

8:24 1955 the that movie David Crockett King

8:24 of the Y

8:25 Frontier had just premiered and the

8:28 Lions Club said you know what we've been

8:31 talking about rebuilding Crockett's home

8:36 Now's the Time we better do it this

8:38 older lady said when I was a child I

8:40 played around Miss Crockett's grave and

8:43 she he showed she showed him where it

8:46 was and uh he tried to get the state to

8:50 put him a monument back there and they

8:52 said it's so far back in the field the

8:54 historical people moved her remains from

8:56 there out here and you saw that Monument

8:59 yeah I saw it outside uhhuh so that man

9:02 he he

9:05 sent and he uh Riv Massachusetts and he

9:09 came when they had the dedication in

9:11 Spring of 56 so what is this is from the

9:14 Alamo that's hard to believe and and a

9:17 lot of people don't believe it but I

9:19 knew the man who donated that and look

9:22 in that yeah I think that's a candle

9:24 thing there's a lock in there oh yeah so

9:28 you look at this old oh that's

9:30 incredible yeah so this piece of wood

9:32 was from the original cabin right this

9:34 here that one they tore down

9:38 and4 yeah she didn't get a big enough

9:41 log and it started splitting on her so I

9:43 noticed she didn't finish the feet or

9:45 the gun sto she carved it in 96 out on

9:48 the front lawn

9:50 mhm just looking at these these animals

9:52 are yeah they're kind of

9:55 scary scary that bob cat is old old oh

10:00 thisy a man here that's in his late 60s

10:03 and somebody gave him that when he was

10:05 in college so there's no telling

10:21 wow I didn't even realize that there was

10:21 a second floor well from outside it

10:24 doesn't look like it and the spinning

10:28 wheel is called a walking Spinning Wheel

10:32 because it's so big so his widow got $24
