Don't get off the backroads in Alabama! Or maybe, you should!
So in March of 2023, I took a major road trip throughout the deep south and a big part of the trip was criss-crossing throughout the great state of Alabama.
The goal was to get an up close look at how folks in Alabama live their lives. And the rule was - no highways. Cause you don’t get to know the real Alabama going 85, do you?
I’m gonna take you on a little journey. Together, we’re going to explore all kinds of Alabama. I think you’re going to learn a lot more about this state. I know I did.

I've traveled all across this country so much I should've been a trucker. You can't find more a more down-to-earth willing to help you out spirit than the people in Alabama. I ended up there for a while by accident and I'm glad I did. The people there taught me a lot about what it means to be a human being. I wish I could be more specific online, but you can't talk bad to me about Alabama. I just won't hear it, one side or another. YMMV, but they all showed me acceptance and kindness, didn't matter what shape I was in (and I wasn't in a good situation at the time). I'll take that with me for life.

There's something about your videos that lightens my mood. You listen and intuitively encourage people to share their core values. Many of the people you talk with feel like a friend from my past when folks were down to earth and just themselves. Particularly in Arkansas and Alabama. Reassuring to see that the church is still important in the life of these small communities. Mappy's takes are on the mark and always make me smile ( and he always made me laugh out loud when he shot his gun out west). Anyway, thanks for making it possible for me to go along on this ride.

It reminded us, especially during that time, that there are places back on the mainland that weren't so restrictive of one's freedom the way Hawai'i was at the time. Ultimately, we moved here in 2022. We thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you for your excellent work.

I am in my late seventies raised on a farm outside Gadsden Ala. We plowed with a mule until I was in the 1st grade and upgraded to a Sears Bradly Davis walk behind, followed by a Ford 9n. I retired in East Oklahoma, and still garden every year. Container mostly now. LOL Loved the folks in Alabame, but had to leave for the draft back in 1966, and only return for weddigs and funerals. Still love to visit.

I've lived on both coasts and the Midwest. I've been to 5 continents and a dozen or so countries. I drove 3,500 miles west, with 3 cats and my wife in the car and 4 cats, plus wife, heading 3,500 miles back east. I'm "sub-rural". I mean, it's full of farms but also town shopping areas. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful and full of wildlife. Sometimes deer scratch themselves on my house, and when the owls chat, the coyotes yip, because they can't reach the owls. Turkeys, beaver, bear, and all types of critters. Farm stores with milk from cows that I wave to on my commute. It is really wonderful. My house was named "Slice of Heaven" by a friend from the city, he's like a brother. I've known him since 1986. The joy on his face, from walking around my woods was heart warming. He is in the city, but he was raised in the suburbs. Everyone needs to get out and into nature. It's good for you.

I hope that people everywhere can get to understand each other better through your videos and grow as people. You’re truly doing God’s work here, Nick. Keep up the great work!

When I was around 16 my parents because of work, told my little brother and I that we were leaving California and moving to Alabama. I thought my life was ruined. Fast forward a few years and I graduated HS in Alabama and was completely in love with the state and her people. After HS I joined the military and never made it back to Alabama, I settled back in California where most of my family lived. I look back fondly on those two years I lived in Alabama and wouldn't trade that time for anything.

Let's be accurate about something here...there are black people who are anti-white here, too. Being black and living in Southern AL I've met more than a few. That said, I've met some great people, regardless of race. You get what you put out, if you're an a-hole you'll attract a-holes (kind of a universal law). The opposite is also true, of course.

Was very happy you didn’t try to put us down and laugh at our values. Should the people in the Federal Government be as honest and hard working.

He mentioned Prattville, and said it was nice. He didn't do it justice. When I was finishing up from Air Force officer school in Montgomery, my parents were coming from Pennsylvania for my graduation. I looked around Montgomery and thought, "No way I want my parents here!" Yeah, I did see some nice parts, but overall, I thought Montgomery was a dump. It's especially bad around the base. So I booked my parents a hotel in Prattville. It's a beautiful town. I also bought them tickets to see a play at their big Shakespeare theater. It's quite impressive. And the theater is surrounded by these sprawling gardens. My dad and I weren't so into the gardens, but my mom liked it. If it's not too far from where you live, I'd recommend checking out the town.

@skyyyrose I for one did not bring any bad politics here lol. Unfortunately ur right about the prices going up. Huntsville is already way more expensive than most other places in AL I've been. Most of the folks I run into seem to be from somewhere else too.

Prattville is very nice. I was considering taking a a job for the state in Montgomery, and I would have lived in Prattville if I took it. Ended up in Birmingham, which I also really like. Birmingham is really developing into a decent city.

Thanks Nick for doing such a great video on my adopted state of residence here in Alabama. It was nice to see my area in Cullman county getting some love; I have rented U Hauls at that Cornerstone market in Cullman that you went to and have had interaction with that same lady too. Nice you stopped at Pop's cafe in nearby Hanceville; Ive heard that place is really good. I see it all the time cause I work pretty close to there. I like you also lived in So Cal for most of my life before moving here almost 7 years ago. Thanks for showing your You Tube audience how nice it is here, thanks again.

OMG We just got back from visiting Huntsville, what a NEAT little awesome hip, clean, friendly city!! I was blown away, to be honest. I've watched my hometown go from nice and clean to bums and trash everywhere and we didn't see any of those things in Huntsville. A $3000 fine for littering?! It's a hidden gem of a place. Who knew?! Thanks for your videos...My husband grew up there and hadn't been back in 30 years. WE were just so impressed with the city and people there. 💞
