Your not out of shape your just getting older like the rest of us ,my doctor reminds me its been over 20 years since I was in my 20's. Thanks for doing your best it was good.

The view of the gorge when you first launched the drone was excellent! It really makes you realize just how remote and rugged this area is! Thanks for wearing yourself out so we could see this!

Democrats spent 1.5B dollars in 107 days....Just imagine what that kinda of money could have done here.

No need to apologize. You got out there and took us with you! Thanks!

You swapped your motorbike for your pushbike! I could tell with your breathing it was hard going, but you can get into places where you could not with your motorbike. Amazing drone footage of the gorge, It must look so different now the river has changed the trees have gone or been stripped sad, It was difficult getting around your bike but you gave it a go so thank you for that. ❤😊👍

You are brave to take off on your own down trails you have no idea if they are good to ride on or not!! Especially as steep as they are. Made my hair stand straight up. Beautiful video of Lost Cove area that you took. I've seen very little from there actually. Please be more careful. Buddy systems are good for things like this in case you have trouble!!! Enough issues from the storm without adding to it.

Where is the road you were on and the trails?

I’ve wanted to #fpv this area. I used to swim and play in that river all through and up into my 20s. Until developers kicked all of us out!

What is the official number of missing people?

I like the uncut version better. I watched it in bed last night and just now commenting. Really shows much more than I expected. I still am blown away how the one road goes and goes and then no road. Flips me out. Great footage!!🤩

Thank you!

ASK YOURSELF. WHY IS THE GOVT. CLOUD SEEDING HURRICANES. IT CREATES MORE RAIN. THEY SAID THEY DO IT BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THINK ABOUT IT. CLIMATE "CHANGE" = CHANGE THE CLIMATE = CLOUD SEEDING. THE NIGHT IT PASSED MY HOUSE IN A STATE SOUTH OF IT, I SAW ON RADAR THEY WERE CLOUD SEEDING! www.aoml.noaa.gov/hurricane_blog/70th-anniversary-of-the-first-hurricane-seeding-experiment/

Absolutely incredible shots as always bro, although when you hit the gravel, I almost peed myself lol as I know you are well versed in riding your bike but, caught me off guard for sure, it just amazes me at the destruction that was done and as I watch others share videos I can't help but wonder, and some others have mentioned this, another flood could always happen and makes me wonder what then, should the roads really be put back next to the river, is it worth it to rebuild them, so many what ifs I guess but we all know it is going to take years to even come close to normal again, but, I can say one thing for all those folks they never give up as it shows tremendously the work that has been accomplished day in day out and I am so proud of everyone who gives it there all to try to live a somewhat normal life and move forward. I so admire you for the videos and the time you spend traveling just to keep us, the outside public informed about what your part of the country deals with so we can see it from yawls perspective, which is still truly sad still to this day, safe travels as always as I wish I knew your first name as out of respect I don't like calling you OffRoad Viking but you know what I mean, take care as always friend, hugs from Arkansas...

Wow the end of the road comes pretty quick, it just ends nothing there. You get a good perspective of just high & wide the Nolichucky got, crazy. When you mention Johnson City i cant help but think about hobo Shoestring, who sadly passed earlier this year, one of my favourite KZbinrs. He finally got a home there. Thank you for taking us along on another bike ride! ❤😊

Just to see brown water when before crystal and blue! Hurts to see that for sure. Have a connection to the area even though we are North near Chicago. Just a beauty to behold!!

another amazing video. Again thank you for sharing your local tragic footage

The river looks more like a drainage canal than a river now.

You know it's too bad that Biden pulled 460,000,000 from Fema and gave it to the illegals, there'd be a lot more done if he hadn't.

The amount of soil & silt carved out of the land and transported downstream to settle in the lake is unprecedented. It’s hard to get your head around what happened there. Thanks so much for the video ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Thank you so much for such careful documentation. You are doing very important work.Though I am from West Virginia and South Florida , I've deeply loved this area since childhood back in the 1950s and 1960s and taken friends to visit in the decades since. My family still owns a little property in McDowell County between Old Fort and Black Mountain --- which is inaccessible for now. I am so proud of those" West Virginia Boys " who built the road in Bat Cave ! Love and Prayers from South Florida.

It may come back but it will never be the same damn KAMALA HARRIS and joe biden for giving our money away to another country and dont take care of our own people north Carolina

It is shocking to see Chimney Rock and so many of the quaint, posh, wonderful little towns and villages in this area being so devastated. It looks to me like it’s an entire generation of rebuilding and regrowing to get back close to normalcy. God bless all the people there. The world is watching your tenacity, bravery, fellowship, and love for one another as you rise out of tragedy and shine like stars. ☮️

"Buy local" and spend your money in Chimney Rock will be important to recovery.

Thank you for giving us a mostly CONTINUOUS video so that we can see the area with perspective rather than short snippets that shift from one location to another where you can't tell how it's all connected.

I want more this video is superb kudos to cinematography I will send $$$$ to action

What a waste of time and money. With climate change, this damage will just happen again. Grow a brain and move to higher ground.

The lake lure footage is very nice but hard to tell what it is supposed to look like. I would like to see a video like this before helene, immediately after and a couple months later of each place just to get the full perspective. I am sure it already exists, I just have not stumbled upon it.

What about where the mudslide is on the road off the mountain are they going to try to take that out of the side of the mountain or is that going to be even possible?

Great footage, I see The Geneva survived yet again, I stayed there many years ago with my mother, her name was Geneva!

Nice slow smooth drone flying.

Great video-smooth, slow and stable camera movements. That really helps people like me who are vision impaired. I cannot even imagine the devastation that happened here. My heart goes out to all the people affected.

the lake att 7:00:00 looks extremely muddy...

the government....isnt doing anything..

The people of W NC & Appalachia are very resilient people their worth is in their hearts & the creation that GOD made around them these people have an amazing ability to come together without misgivings, the people of Appalachia are true patriots the example of what it is to be American. may GOD bless protect & prosper ALL those who have been affected by Helene .stay strong in your faith brothers & sisters GOD is with you ALL.

Why the screwed up music, talk about the progress

Im from the UK & ive seen counyless video's of the devastation caused by Helene, but im also struck by just how beautiful this place is & im sure they will build their homes & businesses back even better than before. From what ive seen of wNC & eTN there are beautiful areas to live & im so very sorry of what Helene did to all of you. ❤&🙏🏻🤗

Thank You for showing this..Tough to watch..So many beautiful places in this country and around the World being affected by Mother Nature..😢

I can see improvement which is great but a long way to go I m sure everyone will get there very determined people! ❤🙏🏻

Your video's are a must see, thank you ❤ from UK. 🙏🏻🤗

Sweet little town. Spent many happy days fishing the Broad back in the 70's and 80's. Last time I was up there picked up a friend of 30 years in Fairview and we drove over the gap to have some ice cream down in town and had a nice walk on the beach. Not sure which is worse. The destruction nature brought on the river or people defiantly rebuilding in the floodplain. The old mountain folk we're nearly so naive. Least none I knew.

Wow. What a beautiful video, not the destruction but the music and scenery. I pray those communities and families are able to rebuild their towns and get their lives back; although it will never be the same.

the walking garden, the loan-a-book, the eataries, the memories, the refuge from reality....all gone...heal soon WNC, east Tennessee....

Every night for almost 2 months I have searched for videos of this historical event, especially Chimney Rock and Bat Cave. I agree with PisgahGravelProject in his comment that documentation is very important. I so wish more vids would follow the river on upstream to Bat Cave, to see what is occurring up that way. I'm also searching for drone footage of the Green River Cove, the actual river from Fishtops Access down toward Lake Adger. Thanks for posting this video.

Beautiful video. You portrayed the devastation in such a stunning way. My breath caught on the beauty and devastation alike. To see the size of the river and how wide that river got. It's breathtaking in the most heartbreaking way. My heart goes out to everyone affected in any way, shape, or form. Thank you for sharing it in such a beautiful way. You've got my subscription. 👍

Seeing the rock cliffs off in the distance is evidence of land slides in the past as weather slowly erodes the mountains down to sand. Comparing photos of before to now seems unreal. Thank you for your video and good drone control.
