If you ever make another cotton video, I would love to connect with you on the process from planting to harvesting. We may be able to get you on a picker.

Imagine jumping into a pool full of those fluffy cotton balls!😌🤣 (How comfortable would that be!!?)

[davidlarson]

Is there a place that sells the table top gin you used? I grow cotton in the back garden and that would make it so much easier to get it to my carder (Patrick green) and actually use it quicker

[petermarkjacob]

why the how to make suit part one is age restricted

[jessicaspaid]

The cotton pickers are so expensive a lot of times they don’t even let their own kids drive them until they’re very confident so don’t feel bad.

[ibringthelastwords]

That cotton farm is a vaper's paradise :P

[pkxpanzr]

Do an Episode On Tobacco! that would be cool to see! and its what America was basically founded on!. Pipe tobacco, Cigars and Cigarettes would be cool to see!

Slavery wasn't an after affect of the invention of the cotton gin and its mass industrialization, but the catalyst. Slavery wasn't an accident, but the human toll of the industrial revolution and all technology that it harnessed/produced.
