"Carpetbagger's Castle of Curiosities"

[@mollysmith1226]

❤❤❤❤ I love that 😍😊

[@DDring]

That's great but it Jen's place too so would have to include her 💞

[@LaughingWarriorBrigade]

Suggestion for house name - Possum Hollow

[@saratf]

That’s a great one!

[@CarolinConnecticut]

The energy of your videos when you've been rested and spent time with Jenn is more balanced and adventurous than your nomadic roaming videos. Stay home, rest up, relax as if you don't take care of you there won't be any videos! Consider it strategic planning time!

[@allensherrill850]

I still think there’s room in the back yard for the roller coaster 🎢

[@BernadetteResnik]

You should get one of those claw machines to display your fury's..

[@MikeWeiner]

No pun intended, but PRIZE WINNING POST! What a great idea! And even if its not plugged in, it could hold your plushies from all over when the Scambler overflows! :)

[@BernadetteResnik]

@@MikeWeiner I know right.

[@ironpony42]

That's an awesome idea for a plushie addict.

[@dianadelahaye7660]

You finally have a home and with Jen, It says a lot. You deserve both and go with the flow of it.😊 You are a nice person and are lucky you found such a creative life that shares with others your great adventures.I get to see things I will never see Thankyou for what you do.

[@tippytoes2358]

While on your break, how about do some reaction videos to some of your old videos? Maybe you could elaborate on some of your travels and the changes that you've noticed over time.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

That would be fun, not a steady dose of it, but I would enjoy that. And sometimes having Jenn join in on the commentary.

[@djsouthpaw3811]

That's a great idea Tippytoes!

[@goku_90260]

love the idea

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Ooh, ooh, I've got another one! Compilation videos? Like "Jacob's Greatest Hits?" Such as the camel attack, first video with Jen, meeting up out west with Jacob's mom and family, haunted Meow Wolf/camera trouble? Or themes? "Funny things Jacob has said," "Best Posing Spots/Photo Ops?" Kewpies? Sharks' eyes?

[@maryblaufuss7533]

"...Jacob's Favorite Places," "Jacob's NOT Favorite Places," "Favorite Buddy (Boogie, Adam...) Videos," "Best Moments of Places Jacob Has Visited More Than Once..." The possibilities go on and on.

[@head__ache]

call it Carpet Manor

[@suehurrell134]

Your scrambler could hold your cryptids and be cryptid corner!😂❤❤

[@Meraviiglia]

Hey Carpetbagger, you should put a train shelf all the way around your living room..to display all your oddities. Xo! Love your place! Thanks for sharing!,

[@alliekuma4234]

You guys are making awesome progress on your home!! You deserve a full bottle of shampoo! 😊 I'm so happy for you both!❤

[@denicebarto5939]

Good morning Jacob, great seeing you. So glad you're at home. You work hard bringing us great vids. Have a wonderful day

[@blakeogilvie1002]

Watching a Carpetbagger video when another pops up. Living the good life.

[@craigrogers3864]

Same!

[@MikeWeiner]

@@craigrogers3864 It doesn't get better than that! :)

[@millybug1019]

home is where the heart is

[@jeremybenton458]

I would say this, Jacob- If you are traveling because you love it and have a drive for creating content everyday (which I suspect is the case), then keep doing it exactly how you want. If you’re traveling to avoid anything (I doubt thats the case) then maybe reconsider your schedule some. We will be here- 3 videos/week 5 videos/week 7 videos/week or anything in between, your base will be here.

[@joshsimpson6856]

As a person who collects things (mostly toys from my childhood) I have a suggestion for you. Start a shelf that is filled with the most recent things you have acquired. I have shelf that usually has things from the past month that I display. It is kind of like the shelf that introduces the items I most recently acquired to the rest of my collection. I leave them there for about a month or so, and then move them to their new homes to make room for more newly acquired things. You both seem to enjoy not only displaying your stuff, but also having it displayed where you see it every day, so I figured I'd drop an idea here for you. I love the channel and hope that you continue to do this for as long as you want. Thank you for sharing so much with those of us who can't go to many of these places for any number of different reasons.

[@jrd0414]

You're doing great. May God bless you and Jesus be by your side during your travels. No need to apologize for anything you may seem as a shortcoming. Josh from NC.

[@suemoo22]

Congratulations on finally getting a big shampoo. It was a sweet story. I love you and Jenny. ❤❤

[@rodc2678]

With Jen and her onslaught of funko pops maybe the basement stays as the bunker and the house becomes the funker

[@gwicker12]

Yes ! The smashed penny collection !!!! 🎉

[@mikehughes4969]

Might I suggest for the house name Carpetbagger's Wonderous Roadside Odditorium & Bunker. Also, Clark looked resplendent with his bead necklace.

[@LaughingWarriorBrigade]

As the owner/proprietor of the similarly wordy Mad Century Studios and the House of the Improbable I endorse this name..!

[@keishe2011]

I’m very happy your home for a bit❣️enjoy yourself at HOME❤

[@unklejohn8575]

Out here in Lubbock we have Prairie Dog Pete on groundhog’s day. You should consider coming out one year.

[@omizj6951]

You are slowly turning your house into a museum. I’m a fan of museums, that’s why I subscribed to your channel.

[@vickiutanner8431]

Love everything you do Jacob! You and Jen are so suited for one another. It does my heart good to see you both so happy and with so many common interests, too. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Praying for safe travels always.

[@serinachilders74]

You can call home, base camp or Jenn camp, home base. The place you can hang your hat.I'm so glad you have Jenn in your life she keeps the home fires burning and gives you a reason to look forward to coming home. Love the road but enjoy home.

[@Celestial_Buni1]

I love your videos so much, the places you go to, give such a nostalgic comforting feeling. Even if I’ve never even been there.

[@wireeye]

Your house is looking great thus far, about the bar stools, you need to find some of the round felt ends that go on the bottom of chair legs, and that would save your wood floor from scratches. Thanks for the uploaded video. Stay safe

[@kaymad143]

I think it is nice to share your experiences. Finding a balance can take a while, be patient! You and Jenn are right where you belong...together, even when not in the same place, you are together!

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hey Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏽. I hope you're having a wonderful day ‼️❤️👋🏾

[@JillMamaDinga]

Hey Jacob, the groundhog day celebration in Woodstock Illinois is good. It's where the movie groundhog day was filmed.

[@looselycollected7505]

Warm the stickers with a hairdryer and very slowly peel them loose. Press them down on wax paper. Then peel them off later and you can spray them with some extra adhesive and attach them to sheet magnet material. Keep them forever.

[@sandydisneyfan8355]

Hope you find the right home/work balance. Many people struggle with this, particularly now that we all have those electronic devices that allow people to contact us day or night with "urgent" requests. There's a lot of people tapping away, completing work projects, in the middle of the night. Also, I just want to say that I am so glad that you and Jen found each other. Keep up the good work, Jen! The house is really shaping up nicely.

[@HunterWoodlawn]

Take as much time off as you need! We love the home videos and you and Jen exploring things nearby.

[@melaniedavis1480]

Suggestion of a name for your house: Carpetbagger HQ

[@arrowguy173]

Yes- Bagger HQ!

[@busy_at_the_moment]

But it’s Jenn’s home too. I hope they come up with a name that combines both of them.

[@Raees-Divitiae]

Audio is 2. Cam is 3rd. Content is priceless. Keep up with the content. That is your gift, and yours alone.

[@kevinlee583]

You can call your headquarters Carpetbagger Hunker Bunker!

[@rclong2449]

I absolutely love this video 😀how awesome that you and Jen are making the house into a HOME together. You’ll find the balance you both need, Jen seems to me like an extremely loving and caring person and meant you knowing what you do for a living. I think you make a good couple. Always looking forward to your new videos thanks for sharing your life

[@SquarePegs]

I've been using a Nikon Z30 for about a month now as my secondary camera (since I don't want to take my expensive DSLR to conventions or on the go) and I've been really satisfied with it so far. I can't speak to it's low-light capabilities, but it has some serious benefits by being able to charge via USB-C, as well as having a cold shoe mount and external mic port. Might be something to at least look at!

[@sirekumasutra7022]

The Bagger Bunker

[@slytheringingerwitch]

Maybe call it Moquette Manor, which is another word for carpet in French. I think it sounds fancy.

[@RockinRobinBird_RB]

This was a fun tour of the homestead and the memories You and Jenn have made.

[@GLI1346101]

29:41 I actually did that place myself in museum in Little Canada last year. I am over next to the Greyhound Bus in front of Union Station in the blue shirt in the Toronto exhibit. Now my relatives plan to visit Little Canada and do the same thing, plus be placed near there. Have your whole extended family and friends placed in the museum.

[@defygravity74]

I really love the home update videos. It gives you a chance to rest, and we still get to see you, Jenn, and all of your cool stuff!

[@victorlaguer3579]

Order of things I love to watch you do. 1 - I now love to see you dance! 2 - I love your haunted house reactions. 3 - I love your dark ride reactions. 4 - I love your amusement park visits and reactions. 5 - I love your convention visits and reactions. 6 - I love your oddities stores visits. 7 - I love your state fair visits. 8 I love your cozy little towns visits. 10 - I love your museum visits. And on a personal note, I love your life updates. Which I don’t consider part of your travels but I do consider it necessary. It helps us to connect with you on a more meaningful level.

[@mariehendrick7173]

Glad you are having some time at home !!!! I have to say I just how your home is shaping up Its super cool Jacob.. I love how its all getting organized and each collection has a place of its own.. XXX

[@mgehrum]

Jacob, get some felt circles with glue on one side or velcro circles, attach one side to the terrarium and the other side to the glass. This should stop the glass from moving.. hope that helps my friend.

[@rachelle6339]

Awe congratulations, I’m so happy for you & Jenn. You made me get emotional seeing you look so happy. 😊❤

[@shepherdjohnsonva]

Thanks for the info. My goal this summer was to ride Leap-the-Dips. Guess that’s not happening. Mothman museum has a Penny smasher now. They didn’t have one before.

[@DDring]

You can clean your pennies with toothpaste and a brush, it will make them super shiny again! Also call your house JJ's Crib! J for Jenny and J for Jacob. :) A claw machine like Bernadette said would be an awesome idea!!!

[@bunnymorris1998]

Carpet bagger. Thank you so much for sharing all your very unique treasures in your house. I really enjoyed watching this video. you and Jen are fantastic together both of your videos. Give me joy your Las Vegas fan.

[@gwicker12]

Turning your home into a museum!

[@secondchairmm]

This was a fun video. Thank you so much for sharing your home and collections with us! I am so happy to see you getting unpacked and settled in. I know you love traveling but as they always say: “there’s no place like home”! Having a stable foundation/ home base will bring such peace. Welcome home Jacob and I look forward to your next adventure!

[@vannagm9603]

Hi Jacob, these are one of our favorite vlogs.

[@7passionstar]

I don't know Jacob, the Bunker is such a perfect name. Maybe you could call it The Vault just for something different? Or maybe something that uses J&J somehow? It would be nice to get both of you in there. The House looks wonderful! 😍

[@user-si9ui7vd3v]

The bunker looking great and you will figure out your schedule enjoyed this one. I can’t figure out how to get to your pin section - HELP! Thanks hugs to you’re and Jen!

[@craigrogers3864]

Watching some old R66 videos of yours, just watching you complete the 72oz challenge again as this posted!

[@markteicher5785]

Happy that you have your fish tank up and going, I have a 125 gallon aquarium with about 12 big tropical fish, and live plants

[@johnny85er]

I hope you open your PO Box again, we got a small gift for you awhile back.

[@beachcomer007]

good video! 😸😄 can't wait until the next one.

[@arthurchilds9856]

Awesome! Thank you, Jacob. Rest well, friend, and I'll catch you on the next vlog. Arthur Childs, Oak Harbor, WA. 🙂

[@sherrybrier5321]

Ho Jacob sorry been under the weather so I missed alot but great to see ya again .as always safe travels.

[@user-zm1nw2cb2o]

Balance can be hard. I struggle with balance myself.

[@oldsouthmike65]

Jacob has the coolest bunker around. His collection is amazing and his passion for Americana is inspiring. I will have to find a book for my collection of smashed pennies. Jacob inspired me to start collecting Mold-O-Rama's. So far I only have 1 but I will keep an eye out for more.

[@creepsmcdamned]

I'm getting ready to start vids of smashing pennies. I'm on Maryland's Easter Shore and Ocean City has tons of them so I'm looking forward to finding them all. I DID NOT KNOW that their were albums for them and am about to order one. Thank you so much for showing off The Bunker. Also love that terrariam table.... Keep that camera! Because I think your retirement plan will be a Carpetbagger Museum. And I can't wait!

[@Poeboi]

Good morning Jacob! I love the house tour thank you so much for everything you do. Rest up and just take care of you. We will be here.

[@davidsedano8881]

[@emmytonge8089]

Yours and Jens house is amazing I love it ! Make sure you show it to us when your done, I also have a lot of strange things in my home it's who I am and it makes me feel comfortable. You have been blessed Jacob in finding a woman like jen that shares the same interest I hope we see her in more of your adventures you both have a child like wonder in the way you see the world don't ever lose it ,I just want to say I love the fish tank and the stuffed coyote in your bunker you house is like a museum a really fun one.i wish you and Jen many years of happiness and stay safe on the road.

[@allenpedrick6502]

Thanks for the tour. You and Jenn are making a lovely home!!!!!

[@djsouthpaw3811]

Loved the tour of your house. Beautiful kitchen, love the wooden table. Like you said, it's great to travel but always nice to come home so you can relax and recharge yourself. Take care Jacob. Let Jen know she's doing a great job of displaying everything!!

[@johnwestover7954]

You should check out the carousel museum in Bristol Connecticut and also when it opens at the end of May around Memorial Day weekend, the oldest continuously, operating theme park in New England one of the oldest original roller coasters. This park has as well and it also has a mountainside coaster the length of the theme park it’s called Lake compound and like I said there’s a carousel museum here as well, Connecticut also has a Mystic Seaport not close to Bristol and also has Gillette castle

The orange dog is Pochita from the anime Chainsaw Man. One of my favorite character in that show & yes, I have the same Pochita stuff toy 😂. Your house is coming along well! I looks wonderful & more organized. Good job Jenn! You look a lot refreshed & relaxed these past videos. It must be happiness & contentment.

Nice house, I love the " decorations " !!! Wow, what a souvenir, + more, collection !

[@bram787]

I can fully recommend the Sony ZV-1 as an alternative to your G7X. The focus issues don't exist on the ZV-1 and the quality is up to par with the Canon at the moment.

I don't tend to notice much variation in video quality unless it's something blatantly obvious, I think your fine until your order arrives.
