Hey Shane how is Bill?

Had to get those Tigers in there

But we had Prussians ;-)

5:30 that’s clearly a Native American but ask anyone in his community they’ll tell you it’s a white man

It would be treacherous trying to drive in with snow on the ground

I Sneeded this video

I was born in Bonnie Blue in1945 my father Edgar Barker worked there and my grandfather Jim Mullins was a boss there .Is possible to get a copy that 1940 picture?

Amazing to know that here in 2023 these places and lifes still exist. Poverty in countries where rich people exist feeding off dirt poor people. Pol.tell us they are re distributing wealth but it never seems to make it past the rich pockets. Just wrong in the worst way. Comfe back jesus and help ur family please

Im 73yo. These programs are very similar to life in rural ontsrio canada and other places in canada. We didnt have much a little food. Freezing temp in winter but one room classes were kept wa by all families cuttiing and toting school wood. We had no coal but wood. We froze at home but always had warm dchools. Some child would be given job of starting school fire at 5 a.m.snd cleaning school for 50 dol a year and damn proud of it. When u brought it home gave it to dad u were so proud.

Really lovely music- I sense jay unger and Molly mason ❤

Sure does remind me of Butcher Holler, where Loretta LYNN'S family lived... Good people, minded their own business, family came 1st❤

Gov destroys then offers solution which ends up being debt slavery. Id rather be poor.

Mark 16: 17-18 17. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18. 18. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. First of all, signs follow believers not believers follow signs. Here’s my issue with the whole handling snakes / serpents thing these people are doing. 1. If it was literally us going out and finding snakes, why are they getting them particular kind of snakes, why do they get to pick what kind of snakes? Just get some black snakes and handle those, if that sort of a thing makes somebody a believer. Why they pick the kind of snake that poisonous. 2. Second, so you got to go on a snake hunt so you can bring them in the house of God to prove you’re a believer. I find that kind of ridiculous. To me Acts 28 shows us an example of a believer not being harmed by a snake, which wasn’t him taking up a serpent intentional but was bit by accident but no harm came to the son of God. Acts 28:1-5 1. And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. 2. And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. 3. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. 6. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. The Holy Ghost can protect from this kind of a thing. Also, about the drinking anything deadly, it’s the same issue, you never know when someone has tried to poison you or you drank something that was harmful and God protected you from it. That’s completely different than me or you going out and drinking strychnine then telling God He has to protect me to prove I’m a believer. Again that’s a bit ridiculous to me, plus the Bible says, “thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” I will close with this, if I was bitten by a poisonous snake or I did happen to drink anything deadly I fully believe God almighty can protect, these signs do follow believer’s, but I don’t see me forcing the sign to happen, I find that a bit radical and just a religious spirit. To me it doesn’t bring a person closer to God it only looks cultish.

Yep, that looks like home to me....greetings from northern KY implant. Born and raised in southeast Ky. Funny how much difference there is from southeast to the north. I jokingly call my husband a "northiner".....

One of your best videos ! A big fan of you guys and what you do. The interview and conversations you had with the locals made this an outstanding experience. Itmann is on my list to explore and thank you both for turning me into a fan of old Coal mining and railroad towns of Virginia and West Virginia

I walk past that Indian so many times as a child in Williamson last time I was there was 20/20 24 years ago

Hello sweet people! I have missed seeing you both. Wise, VA is a beautiful area of the State. I have only visited Wise once and that was years ago. From the scenery in the video, apparently there have been some changes. Well, it is like everything else, everything changes sometimes not in a positive direction. Thanks for taking me along on this visit to Wise.

My family is from there!!! I loved going there as a kid, it was super neat before they put 23 through

Is life today any better? Asking for a friend...

I liked the views and loved the music thank you, keep up the good work.

Fun fact: appalachian mountains is older then trees

Had a Koppers Coke plant in my hometown in the Midwest. They made the briquets, so on certain days when the wind was going to the northwest, that was the only day a relative (who lived with the house's backyard facing the plant) could wash her family's clothing. Otherwise the pollution from the manufacturing process would dirty all the clothes freshly laundered, then hung on the clotheslines outside. This was decades before dryers in homes. In the 1930s. I suspect anyone living on the few streets adjacent to the rr lines all the homeowners had to deal with that issue. Koppers Coke business is no longer there. Closed and building torn down easily some 40 years ago. There is an industrial park there now.

My dad worked for Red Jacket Coal Co from 1939 to 1956 and used to go the mine at Keen Mt...don't know the reason. We lived in a nice two story house. Great place to grow up.

Thank you so much! I love the folks at UVA Wise, and the town of Wise was just lovely and full of good, hospitable people, when I was down there visiting for work. Reno's was one of the places I ate at that was recommended, and it was really good. Never knew that George C. Scott was from Wise! Great video, and glad to see you all out and about again!

Lots of different Pentecostal churches, especially in Appalachia. Most interesting one to me is the Neverdies (are they still around?) they believe in reincarnation and immortality of the body

What's the name of that book

I lived in Russell county for 10 years near Swords Creek, Va. I worked at The Christian center in Lebanon, Va.

Absolutely fascinating and poignant. A glimpse into a world rich in history, thank you for sharing it. All the best from rural Australia.

Been there a lot of times.

Great video as always. I love the way you guys put over a place's character in such a short time. Architecture, town scapes and just plain living. Wonderful 👍

PLEASE CLEAN YOUR WINDOWSHILDE. I THOUGHT I HAD DIRT ON MY SCREEN!

You definitely should’ve went all the way through! You were on the Sneedville side. When you get to the Claiborne County side the road is a lot rougher and mostly gravel. I have a lot of family that live there. Just buried my granny there in the Eagle Cemetery last Saturday. I was following the hurst and at times I couldn’t see it or my aunt behind me because of the dust!

Oh good, you finally went to Wise!! My mother is from Wise, I love it there, it is my adopted home town!

Glad to have you back. I missed the priceless banter between you two. How is your book selling? I enjoyed reading my "unsigned" copy.

I have missed you for a while. Glad to see you back!😊

Know y’all are enjoying your sweet baby and family time, but definitely missing y’all out on the road and more videos! 🤗

Looks like a nice town. I've been supporting the Health Wagon for years. Ever since I seen them profiled on 60 minutes. I hope one day you can do a segment on them and maybe interview them. They do great work. Good to see you all back on the road. They are in Wise ua-cam.com/video/xoyxrWxO0tE/v-deo.htmlsi=g35uhLuwB9moeERs ua-cam.com/video/RK5iSC1D1HQ/v-deo.htmlsi=Gl0rxFesjC5JHhKl

Lived bout 3 miles outside of town limits for 32 years its changed so much drugs has tore thru these small towns and left its mark with no end, never thought id see it like it now. nothing could change the childhood i had there priceless

you all are making videos of my area. been working on Electric Vehicles and conversions. soon to be driving an electric motorcycle though out southwest Virginia

I went to Clinch Valley. Had a lot of fun there, and found the experience to be very nice. However, to become a comic book artist and illustrator, I had to move to New Jersey to get a proper art education at the Joe Kubert School of Art. I did learn a lot at CVC (as we called it), and I'm very thankful for my experiences there. Its a lovely campus--even "Cardiac Hill" and those steps leading up said hill from the cafeteria! lol. I also love the town of Wise. Having been born in Clintwood, Wise is naturally very familiar to me. My old stompin' grounds, as they say. I'm glad to see you both doing videos again! They're a real treat for me, as I haven't been home in many years.

Always great videos and information

I haven’t seen a video for awhile.. last time no baby ! Whose baby is it?

Nice town

Why is it always so dark and gloomy, cloudy glum in West Virginia 😟

The connection between Dukes of Hazzard and Hazard Ky is the creator of the show was from Lennoxburg Ky. He grew up around moonshiner and wrote/directed the Movie Moonrunners. When asked to create a show based off Moonrunners he created Dukes of Hazzard. He got the fictional town name from a gym bag of someone who was from Hazard Ky. He added the second z and boom you got Hazzard County. The Dukes cast came to Hazard Ky in 1981 for the Black Gold festival. A est of 100,000 people showed up. They got the keys to Hazard and were made Ky Col. James Best ( Sheriff Rosco)met his brother he hadn't seen since he was adopted. Been to Hazard a few time. A truly lovely place with great people.

Y’all make my heart grow fonder for those old towns out yonder…. It’s been years-back then I was much blonder….

Very much a hidden gem in my view. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video!

Ive been gone! Did you have a boy or girl? Congratulations ❤❤❤

Shane & Melody, enjoyed seeing Wise after all these years. Have y'all ever done a video in Iager, West Virginia (pronounced Yeager)?? Not sure if youre aware, but when O. Winston Link was photographing the last of Norfolk & Western Steam locomotives in the late 50's, one of his famous pictures was taken as the N&W steam loco was passing the old Drive-in Theater in Iager. The tracks (still in use) and the old theater (not in use) are still there. Its a small, but quaint area. Go, if youve never gone. I was last down there in the late 90's.
