Hello from mendocino California

Id love to come see you if you're still in WV area. I love in Pennsylvania about 20 minutes north of Morgantown WV. If at all possible that would be amazing. Thanks

bruh load the map onto your phone and use it offline

If you start exposing these places and more tourists show up someone will find you and expire you

Come visit my hometown roughly the 15th most eastern town of the lower 48 us: outer banks- nags head, nc. largest natural sand dune structure on the east coast !

Me too.

Not with people like that

@@tonettalovercity people are lawless 💩. I would never even consider living in or any where near a city.

I miss the old "Dead End" road I lived on.

Me three!!

Those people are called "Chicagoans"!!

My thoughts exactly, maybe he hasn't heard of Chicago, Los Angeles or NYC.

He is a communist fuck! Driving a Kia !!

@@blueridgepatriot1356 Maybe you can't accept that race plays no role in violence. Economics does.....

So who are you shooting, then? 😂

exactly what i was thinking watching this

i feel like the story changes dramatically if you've got a lil melanin in your skin

​@@HamburgerAmynot one bit

@@HamburgerAmyThe beauty of what you just said is, your feelings don’t mean anything, and aren’t anywhere near factual. That’s the problem with the modern world… Everyone uses feelings, instead of intelligence.

YOUR SKIN IS PALE FOR SURE. YO AZZ CAN'T HAVE BROWN SKIN.

That's a true story! In the days when they used horses and mules in mining, the mine operators used to say they'd rather lose a miner than a mule.....because it was easier to replace a miner. Miners got slave wages that they had to spend at a "company store." Mining companies paid the miners in what they called scrip. For decades, many coal companies in Appalachia paid their miners primarily in a privately issued currency known as scrip. Typically minted in inexpensive metals, these specialized coins were only redeemable at stores owned by the company that issued them.

Not to mention the complusitory military draft, which is being brought back. Someone needs to yell at DeeCee that Dubya Vee is tapped out!

This seems most accurate.when it comes to how men were just managed working in coal mines.sad.but real.

Most of them lived in Company houses in "Coal Camps" and the Coal Company held rent out of their pay.

I haven't heard them expecting reparations. That's weird.

Seems he is, he’s from New York

I doubt he would the same or similar caption if he were in the hoods of Detroit or Memphis

yeah the bible belt is shit, that old guy is proof of that.

Gotta clarify that if you drop the NY word anywhere in the south

@@NatalieV0331seethe

That’s wild!

@@SabbaticalTommy Come visit the Rez.I sent an invitation to you via your corporate email using my real first name which is Joseph. "Tsakurshovi" is just the Hopi name for where we live on the Rez.

Oh so how reality works without usury. Your first sentence answered the question as to why banks loan out the money in the first place... To steal the land.

Bro that sounds like a survival game. Only in USA man. Only USA can you feel such indignation.

@@michaelsotomayor5001 Survival. It's a way of life on many Native American reservations. At least Hopis never got moved off their traditional land and sent to some faraway place like Oklahoma. :-)

I'm from DC you are correct they can make post cards from those views

That's Bigfoot country. Had any sightings?

It’s the 7th poorest currently. Kentucky has 2 counties that are in the top 10 poorest so that state is now doing worse than WV

Oh wow, thank you for sharing

​@@tmckenny2994I hate hearing that. My husband's family is from Kentucky

@@daynaphipps4912 doesn’t make them any less than anyone else. Poor counties, yes. There’s good people in those poor counties.

@@tmckenny2994 I didn't call them any less

😂😂

Theres a repo guy who picks up the sheds and people do live in them

People's ignorance doesn't have state lines. I wouldn't go to New York, if someone paid me to!!

NYC is a complete shithole.

I guess this guy is what we would call a City Slicker.

Love your show dude.

And that's a huge shame...

I agree... I'm Southern...stay in New York please.

Not an expert on the USA as a Canadian but West Virginia is not even located in the South??!

Its not west either lol Better to call it Central Virginia, or for short Central Country. 中国

The stores in West Virginua know that grocery purchases are with food stamps, so they raise the prices. We all pay 😮

I wish he would have went to a few more better known places as well. Our state is beautiful and we are not all poor lol We have very wealthy people that live here too

Thank you.

Love the information, thanks.

Indiana is one of the worst states to live for work. In fact I think we are dead last or #1 in worst states to live in the US. Hoosier I can't get a job if my life depended on it. Which it does

Nature can’t be both pristine and polluted. This what the liberals are fighting for.

I’m a McCoy living in Huntington, WV. I’m descended from Randall’s brother William. My Dad was born in 1920 and recalls Anse Hatfield’s youngest son,Tenis, who must have been quite old then, sitting on the front porch in Logan and talking to my grandfather about the feud when he was a young child. (Grandpa McCoy was a bradisher in the mines around Logan. He built the mine doors and air vent systems.) Dad remembered it because Tenis was talking about the “fort” Anse had built in case the McCoys came over the mountain! lol. He said his dad sat at night by an upstairs window to watch for them. I guess I’d be paranoid too if I’d killed three of someone’s sons; his daughter; brain damaged his wife with a rifle butt; and burned down his home. 🤷‍♂️ Fortunately, the past is the past and the Hatfields and McCoys can now call each other friends! ♥️ (And yes, it was revenge for a McCoy boy having killed a son of Anse. It was just tragic and wrong all around.) What a heritage we have, right? 🌷

Thanks for that story. I live in Appalachia now but was a truck driver for years so I know Michigan and Indiana as well. I go to west Virginia like once a year

I'm from Indianapolis. My best friends live in Pomeroy, Athens and Albany. I met them through atlatl competition. We have a 3 day atlatl event at the Paw Paw Fest every year. We also have several events throughout the beautiful Hocking Valley. Funny thing is that there are 2 Pomeroys. My friend lives in the the one near Albany on Myers Rd. It's about 4hrs drive over there but well worth the trip to be in the foothills with my friends having great times. My bro and I stay at the cabins in Zaleski Forest for Paw Paw and Roar events. Most other times we are camping. The Hocking Valley and its people remind me a lot of Southern In, were my family are from. Athens is more like the college town Bloomington (IU) before Bloomington built up like crazy. Stayed in Logan for the Mounds Fest. Not too crazy about Logan.

We always say if you're from Morgantown you either grow up and go to WVU or you grow up and do drugs. 90% it's the ladder because most people who can afford to go to WVU aren't from here unfortunately

Good luck with your recovery! You have my respect, quitting fentanyl is not like quitting weed.

@morhaimtyr4173 no it's really not. I always thought it was an overextended on movies when they showed someone detoxing and they're falling all over the place,room spinning,throwing up everywhere ect (I had only ever been through H and pill withdrawal ) until I detoxed from fet,then throw in precipitated withdrawal,good lort! You would rather DIE in that moment then go through another moment of the pain,discomfort and pure misery that is fet withdrawal! I had 10yrs clean and then I relapsed harder than I ever into my addiction in 21,been clean for 1yr and 4 mons now,you wouldn't believe all that I lost and fkd up in that short amount of time I was in active addiction

I would say the NJ of WV

Bold of you to say the New York of wv. 😂😂😂

😂

coal train 🤣 You from Wichita? Lay yer money down 😁

Yea, noticed that too, but you know.

"Obviously, I don't know my trains, but anyways -"

Edumacated yankee = small ,weak and opinionated.....great

indeed, mine too but that turnpike can be a little sketchy at times. Been a WV gal all my life, 3 hours from the TP.

Test your brakes .. Wow hills.

Probably less than $1 each if you buy a pack of 8

It’s the same in Scotland

Stupid people routinely pay 2X-10X for things then complain about not having money at the end of the month.

Ya the more you buy the cheaper it is they probably got about four or five 16 packs from the distributor I don’t know how many come in a pack but they definitely paid less than a dollar a bottle I can get it for less than a dollar a bottle if I get a big pack from BJs or Costco

They love to rip us off and blame inflation don’t get me wrong that doesn’t help but it’s also because profits have to constantly go up or ceos get the ax from the big shareholders if profits don’t go up consistently every quarter

The republican party has done nothing but a number on west Virginia. Education is intentionally lacking in that state because if people were smarter, then they would know how badly they are getting screwed. Keep voting in Republicans and nothing will ever change change.

You also voted for a senator who pretends to be a democrat. Education is sadly missing in most of the state.

The employers are Walmart, education system and road repair. I've been to most of WV too. The green and mountains are the most beautiful I've seen.

Pretty much. The two biggest employers in the state are WVU (hospital system, since they own most of them) and Walmart. Morgantown rents are comparable to Pittsburgh where there are *way* more job opportunities. No wonder there's a population decline.

@oozihobo if I can ask you a question. WV has consistency voted red for many years now, but they still find themselves in a bad to worse situation than before. Do people not think ok let me vote for the other party to see if things changes bc how I am voting now is not working.

Lived where?

He was nice and actually a very handsome man. Drugs ruin lives all over the world. Very sad.

McDowell county proud ❤

West Virginians excel when they leave West Virginia.

The scenery is beautiful, but everything else is a dump in the WV hollers. The schools are garbage, the economy is in shambles and has been since the 50s, the life expectancy is terrible, and its filled with druggies. My aunt is from Mingo County, so from an early age, I knew how bad that area was.

You can buy tractors at tractor supply or where I am at you can you can also buy ATVs and four wheelers

There are T S stores in the state of New York. There are farms in New York.

Crapper Supply Chinese junk there for homeowners.

😂😂😂😂😂

You're not one of those damn liberals from over there? I was watching that on TV

@@Psiilocybe , nope. I am one of those hillbillies from the Saxony woods. We are more old fashioned and hate liberals from over there! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hedgesville wv here. I’ve always wanted to visit Europe mainly Germany.

@@limeallens6160 , we would love to welcome you, Lad.

@@dervolkstribun6240 absolutely thank you.

Grew up in Greenbrier County. Live 1000 miles away now but go home every year. Leaving in 2 days and can't wait. Haven't lived there in 35 years but it'll always be home. Some of the most beautiful camping around but of course I'm a little biased. Lol

@Biomass1, it’s an absolutely gorgeous area. My own little personal paradise is the hill country of north Mississippi, because that’s where both sides of my family come from. I have a little over 100 acres there, and a year from retirement, I can’t wait to get there. I’ll tell you though, if my lineage was West Virginia, under the same circumstances, I’d consider myself fortunate. West Virginia is a stunningly beautiful place.

Bloody nice looking place, with all the trees

Sophia WV has a good Chinese Buffet. It's been there a long time.

​@stoveboltlvr3798 you sure that it's actually good or is it the ONLY one in a hours long distance ?😂

@@stoveboltlvr3798 you probably never heard of my town in Florida and we have about 20 Chinese restaurants. Why is West Virginia so afraid to be more diverse?

​@@CeeStyleDjWhy should they? Must everywhere look the same? If so, what's the purpose of traveling. Should Tokyo resemble NYC racially? I hope that never happens.

Since they broke away from Virginia due to the Civil War, they are more of a northern state.

Show some respect

​@@BH-yk5cn Since it's in the name it's actually a western state

@@Drieste_Dries Hey i respect all of them , hell these folks changed the world, they wanted to be left alone

Not so much southern. Very much rednecky

south korea is in china

Was gonna say, that did not sound Chinese.

South Korean business has made big investments in WV recently.

Hanjin Shipping - I knew the owners. Same family (Cho) that "Nut Lady" of Korean Airlines fame comes from.

This guy isn't accurate about anything. He speaks about stuff he has no actual knowledge about.

@@NewYorksWorstDrivers utube*

It’s even straining my west coast American brain…

We speak American

You should try travelling short distances in the UK. The accents here (and the variations) truly are wild!

@@RaverOperatorGeeza I’ve heard this. I’ve also heard Ireland is like that but on steroids

😅😅

Except for house prices…

😢

Education from the 40s

You got that right

Please no, I much prefer he travel internationally, leave the US for the less polished KZfaqrs.

@@robcanad many of his viewers around the world are just as interested. Truth be told I’m more interested in him visiting each state than him going anywhere in Asia

I love Peter!

@@serendipity420 I do too but there is something ab Sabbaticals channel that reaches a whole other audience.

West Virginia pays you to move here. Ten grand in cash, ten grand in perks. You have to have a job though.

​@@dianakidd4219that's a lie, wv would probably pay you to leave

⁠@@botomblin5507no it’s actually true.. the state is trying to recruit tech workers. You get $ to move here and the perks are to be used at different outdoors events and activities.

Barbersville, West Virginia is a nice place. It's right outside Huntington.

@@leggiemeggie5837I'm 71 born and raised in wv except military retired, I still live here and you will have to prove to me that that you can get paid to move her, what state you live in?

Lol. I thought that was funny. I live near DC and we have that store here. Lots of farms only 40 miles from the Capitol

I recently googled TSC stock & it was outperforming Nike, Coca-Cola, Pepsi etc.. Bill Gates has purchased quite a bit, along with Blackrock

Especially thinking he could actually buy a tractor there lol.

Be glad it's ignored otherwise it would be ruined.

But you know that narrative had to be followed that he was some sort of savior. You know that's how it goes these days. 😂

@@keithlisk6540It's already ruined. The place has the 2nd lowest life expectancy, the highest OD rate by a mile dwarfing all other states, Its tied for the highest obesity rate, has the 3rd highest poverty rate, 9th highest heart disease rate, 8th highest infant mortality rate, 8th highest teen pregnancy rate etc. If you want to keep lying about WV being amazing to fit some sort of narrative go ahead but it’s a big lie.

That's the `Bootlicker Pinkerton` version of Ol' John Brown ~ #justsaying

And anybody with a brain knows who the pinkertons were. They were true psychopaths. ​@@LightoftheMoon

100%

America has had the fastest post pandemic economic recovery and growth of any country in the world. Americans complain about inflation yet it's not nearly as bad as the rest of the world. There are several reasons for this situation first and foremost is corporate monopolies and greed but people shouldn't forget there's a major war in Europe and we're all suffering. A half a pound of butter should never cost $11.00 but unfortunately that's the price here in Europe and United Kingdom.

@@sissyroxx I don't live in the rest of the world so idc, I live here and shit's too expensive

What kills me is the cost of a bottle of water. We're all better off not drinking gatorade or coke.

Ain't just Mississippi or WV it's everywhere

Especially in Ol Dub V

Yes let em sniff ya because you're already big compared to them.

HELL NO, IF you go down to hear the dog, he can AND WILL BITE you in the face, NEVER DO THAT

@@InBrz if the dog senses you’re an asshole, then yeah. Also I’m not saying put your face right in the dogs face just lessen your height.

I thought the same thing😁

My daughter made them on Sunday.

W. O. R. D DETROIT HERE Have Family in MORGANTOWN and Pepperoni Rolls are AWESOME.. You can't find them ANYWHERE like ALMOST HEAVEN WEST by God VIRGINIA.. ❤ ✌️

NU-ERA Bakery in Logan County WV has the best pepperoni rolls ❤❤❤

...in the first couple of minutes you can tell you haven't done simple research in the first couple of minutes.

"they call themselves hillbillies in a neutral way", gee it's like they don't realize that they are somebody else's untermensch. "hillbilly" in Scotch means "hill man". A woman would be a "hillie".

Why is it funny? Hillbilly means hill comrade in olde Scottish. It’s a specific culture

My family is from WV and I’ve spent a lot of time there, the word hillbilly is never an insult unless you intend it to be. Such insults come from ignorance and arrogance. To my ears, hillbilly is an affectionate moniker for hill folk.

The southern Irish Catholic supporters of James II referred to northern Protestant supporters of King William as “Hill-Billies.” and “Billy Boys”-Billy being an abbreviation of William; the term “Billy Boy” is still used today, mainly in Northern Ireland. The Appalachian Irish supported King William, because they were protestants that came to America, late 16 hundreds.

And china is importing the Fentanyl..

People need money somehow.

​@@jeil5676 Do we? Money is an ancient philosophy. The caveman had no money. The first currency was introduced 5000 years ago. Man has been around much ;onger than that. Ever been a member of a club? Anyone who has did not get paid by the club to do the clubs work. It's all voluntary. What if service to the community was our currency. Simple equation: I work 40 hours/ 32 hours a week, All that I pay for is free so long as I work. Everyone else does the same. No bills! Every able bodied person would work. Those who can't work get care from the neighbors and community. No euthanasia. Build up a mindset of service to humanity and the community. Go Beyond The Mind!

...government doesn't want us using coal in the US. Pollution, etc. The Chinese export our coal to China.

@@charlesclaridy8646yea well cavemen also didn’t have healthcare or retirement. I just see so many problems with that. So basically u work until u are dead or become old enough to be a burden to the community. What happens when the people who need cared for outnumber the able bodied? What if you want a nice car? Or a new home? Just get it for free? A crew of people build u a house bcuz you want one. They just spent all that time building you a house for what? The good of the community? What about lazy people? Or criminals? Doctors go to school for 10 years to help the community? Cops volunteer to get shot at? How about truck drivers? They drive across the country for the good of their community? Pilots? They fly around the world for their community? How bout NFL players? You think they destroy each others bodies for ur entertainment because community? How about content creators? How about oil workers? Think they spend weeks living on an oil rig away from their families for the good of their community? Farmers? Think they can only work 40 hours a week? We would all starve. Currency was created for a reason like it or not.. maybe ur idea would work in places with a very small population. Somewhere like LA or NY? Not at all. Sounds like hell. Everybody just works until they can’t. Nobody has more or less than their neighbor.. no promotion to look forward too.. just get up and work.. vacation? Taking a day off? Nope cuz then u aren’t contributing to the community. Sounds pretty close to communism. Just without the money.. might work in a nudist colony or a hippy commune. I’m almost certain u haven’t thought out ur random KZfaq comment quite as much as I am rn but the bottom line is that currency was created as an incentive to get people to contribute to society. If the government just took care of everyone then lots of ppl would just not do anything and live off of everyone else.. kinda like some already do currently. I get where u are coming from tho and it’s definitely a nice sentiment. I just think we would still have alot of the same problems and maybe more. A lot of jobs would probably cease to exist because there would be no incentive to do them due to a focus on your own community. Believe it or not globalization of humanity has its benefits.. we would all still be very stupid if we had just stuck to tribes forever. The Nazis told the Jews that work would make them free. But they really just worked for free. And that’s about the only way you could get the masses to work for free nowadays.. currency is the precise reason the world isn’t in constant chaos. I mean it definitely causes some chaos from time to time but also prevents or stops it. Why don’t all our enemies get together and destroy America? Currency.. we have lots of it to spend on things that go boom. We trade with most countries on Earth. Because of that we have a number of allies that we wouldn’t have otherwise. Boggles my mind that ppl talk about how “good” literal cavemen had it. Oh no not money.. “I’d rather have a toothache every day of my life and watch my great grandfather die at 32 while a lion eats my wife and kids.” Yea.. humans were around long before currency. But I doubt we would have gotten much further without it. We’d still be killing each other over food. Also I’m almost positive that some weaker group traded a stronger group food so they wouldn’t just kill them all and take it. That’s technically currency. So TL:DR Yes we do need currency. Humans are animals and we need an incentive to do anything just like any other animal.. we eat because we are hungry. We created currency because we need it for an endless list of reasons..

Good to know.

OMG that is one of the most interesting things to do in WV sorry about your loss and I wonder how many people have lost their lives doing that?

Sorry to hear that they need to help people in America not these illegals. Yes the Irish and Scottish settled West Virginia like the rest of America too. They were the real slaves not the blacks who owned Irish slaves. Oh but this is real history!! They don't want you to know because then everyone would rise up

oh dam, so sorry.

Was he bungie jumping

It's also where the term redneck comes from. The miners wore red bandanas around their necks so they could easily distinguish each other and not accidentally kill their own. I was born in PA but my grandfather's were WV coal miners, and that's the story I heard... how true it is, I'm not sure but I've heard it from more than a few people over the years.

You mean they almost did the exact thing that Biden recently threatened to do?

According to ChatGPT, there is no credible evidence that the airplanes were already in the air, which is apparently more myth than fact. The part that is true is that the president at the time did consider using airstrikes, but they decided against it.

Officials used a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter to drop military-grade plastic explosive from a helicopter onto a rowhouse on Osage Avenue, starting a fire that killed six adults and five children. The house was headquarters and home to members of the Black liberation group MOVE. So it would of been the second time the US Government would of bombed their own citizens on its own soil.

@@DETSRC313 haha plastic explosives that starts a fire is totally different from an actual bomb and I guess this is maybe someone who thinks the whoa is me cause I’m black had to always has to be the biggest victim? What I said is national history and it’s worded exactly how I said it. Sorry whoa is me cause I’m black crybabies and just to smooth your crybaby tears there were blacks involved in WV when they were going to drop actual Bombs on them

Below the Mason Dixon line it is south. I grew up in the nothern panhandle

Appalachian mountains go all the way to Maine. It is considered a Southern state

It's south, it's just not deep south. I'm in south Alabama. Deep south culture is a bit different.

Nope. It’s the upland south lol. It’s objectively part of the southeastern United States. Appalachia is a subculture of southern culture. You obviously don’t speak for all Appalachia with this comment.

@@Eman1900Oyep. And the people who pronounce it apple-latch-a is the southern region of Appalachian culture. North of the mason dixon is a different culture and people and they pronounce Appalachia differently and aren’t part of the hillbilly culture
