  1. I absolutely enjoy your videos/voice.
    I really like the longer videos, anything over 25 min. I also like that your intros/outros aren’t loud. I can’t stand it when I’m watching a chill video & then it ends & the outro is just freaking loud!

    1. I live near Hot Springs, Madison 🙂 I was separated once from a friend while exploring a mountain top. It was a strange disappearance of my friend whom I found at the bottom of the mountain. I cant figure out how he got down so quickly.

  2. As someone who has done fasting the hunger passes after first two days. Your body switches over from burning carbs to burning fat. Eleven days without prior training is extreme however and he was lucky to have the strength to get out of there.

    1. When I was a young believer in Christ I fell for the idea that fasting earned you favor with God or whatever.. and you are completely right. First day is the hardest, second is still tough but by day three you don’t feel hungry anymore. If I didn’t have to work I could probably last close to a week. I remember getting home from work day 4 ish and my body was so drained that I was actually salivating for a can of string beans! Being out in the wild and constantly expelling energy is a completely different ball game. 11 days in insane

    2. I’ve heard that a human can last 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. At least that’s what I’ve heard on so many survival shows I’ve seen.

    3. ​@@sharonrose1226I’ve heard similar statements but that probably applies to a fit healthy adult. Any pre-existing conditions like diabetes, or even being pregnant, or old age etc would likely shorten the timeframe.

  3. Huge missing detail. How did the legally blind guy make it out of the woods, if he couldn’t even get back to the spot where he lost the glasses?

    1. Turn to Jesus He loves you, He is the healer of the body And savior of the soul, There is True Hope in Jesus, God protects Psalms 91, He is the God of miracles Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Jesus alone saves Trust Him with your salvation John 3:16
      1 Corinthians 15 1-4
      Moreover Brethren, i declare unto you the gospel which i preached unto you, which also ye have received, and with wherein ye stand
      By which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what i preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain,
      For i delivered unto you first of all that which i also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures
      And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Take care

  4. If my husband was stupid enough to take my son hiking to do something illegal, and then without information that could save him, I’d divorce him.

    1. If my stepdad had ever taken me hiking, he would have left me on purpose, so I want to be able to take up for that stepdad. But, I think if it was his own kid, he would have reported him missing and been honest from day one of the boy going missing.

  5. ➡️ None of the father’s story makes sense. Why would he be searching for his glasses in the water if he was legally blind? How could they lose each other in a shallow body of water? How did he make his way out of the woods if he was legally blind? Why did he wait 2 days to report the kid missing? Why would he care more about not getting in trouble than the life of his son? Plus– there’s no real reason to mention looking for the ginseng. All he had to do was guide the authorities to where they had been. If I were the mother I’d be dumping her husband real quick.

    1. @@luminous3357 maybe so, I worked with an ophthalmologist who used charts and various types of lenses to judge the degree of vision in patients. Some people have a little vision but are classed as being partially sighted and in some cases legally blind.

  6. My husband is legally blind without his glasses, too. It’s one of my favorite things about him. When he sees me first thing in the morning he thinks I’m GORGEOUS and all those gray hairs are ‘Natural Highlights’. We call it the ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ effect.

    1. @LQOTW, Good one, we use the exact same language for the women who get married and divorced 6 or more times, and are set for life after stealing half the wealth of the suckers they married. Only we called it LTS, or “Liz Taylor Syndrome”.

    2. I know it’s a common thing to say but legal blindness means you cannot see even with correction (glasses). Saying someone is legally blind without glasses is disrespectful to people who are truly legally blind.

    1. I have to agree
      They may have found a great deal of the plant and Austin was recruited by his stepfather to go sell it.
      It’s sus that’s for sure

  7. I once had a pair of very cheap, all-plastic sunglasses fall off my face into a fairly deep and fast moving creek. They sunk straight to the bottom. No floating whatsoever. And I would suspect that prescription glasses for someone who is legally blind might still be made with glass lenses, or at the very least have much thicker plastic lenses than those of cheap, non-prescription sunglasses, which should have made them even heavier and less likely to float.

  8. The plants are not unnamed. It’s ginseng. I’m from Cherokee NC which is located at the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains parkway. We are all well aware it’s illegal to pick these plants in the parkway.

    1. Ohhh Cherokee is such a beautiful little town, or at least it was 30 years ago!! I’m a few hours away in central N.C. but used to go on vacation with family to Cherokee and Maggie Valley every summer growing up. We’d spend a few days camping and then make a day trip to Ghost Town before heading home. I’d love to make a trip back, I hope it hasn’t grown and turned into a big noisy city like most of the small towns around me have over the years😢💕

  9. I was born and raised WNC, I don’t understand how people can get lost here. Go down hill, find a creek, follow creek. You will find people soon enough.

    1. There is something going on in National forests that out government is covering up. If you solo camp in national forests, it is extremely dangerous. Humans are not the apex predator.
