Pigeon Forge’s Reopening

[@TheDailyWoo]

This is refreshing to see . Thanks for the update . Amazingly different than where I am in Southern California . Now off to make popcorn to review the most likely kind hearted and unbiased comment section

[@DisneyMarkUK]

TheDailyWoo We all still love you Adam, never forget that while scrolling through those comments.

[@1funkateer847]

I'd love to see you two do commentary on your Route 66 journey. Surely you have stories from the road that didn't make it to the vlog.

[@samambrotv]

@@1funkateer847 That's a great idea!

[@oldskoolraver1079]

Adam, I'd love to see a roadtrip with you and Jacob to Europe. Would be the best thing ever to come out on KZbin. It's because of you and Jacob I got interested / obsessed with roadside attractions / Americana and all sorts of amusement and themeparks.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Adam, are you being sincere or sarcastic? After some of the comments you got, I believe I know! I love you, buddy- I’ll be there for you whenever you start blogging again!

[@arnoldprewitt7914]

Absolutely love Pigeon Forge. Married in Gatlinburg 22 years ago now I’m in a hospital bed waiting on my last day. Thank you for the memories.

A wild Carpetbagger appears, ready to get back to what he does best 😀

[@jerrygundrum1]

What is that? A diabetic with high blood pressure headed for a ventilator in an icu

[@jamesshinault887]

Jerry Gundrum quit hating

[@jerrygundrum1]

@@jamesshinault887 not hating stating facts. Minimal physical activity morbidly obeses, classic type 2 diabetes candidate, terrible diet. The only box he doesn't check is age for being a covid victim.

[@jamesshinault887]

Jerry Gundrum I know about the diabetes part but nothing about the covid part

[@eringemini7091]

Aloha Jacob! Almost 15,000 cases of Covid-19 in Tennessee, 247 deaths, 6783 recovered, Sevier county(Pidgeon Forge), 65 confirmed with virus, 48 recovered, 2 deaths, low numbers, but even one death is too high. Having people gather in one place, despite social distancing and other measures that the park is doing, is truly a way of tempting fate, especially after people have had to sacrifice so much to get those numbers down, just think its a few weeks still too SOON for them to open.....

[@maryjones6470]

It's nice they have open and are being careful..stay safe out there

[@christinerodriguez8101]

Thank you for showing us Pigeon Forge as it opens up. I know that most people were waiting for things to start opening up. I’m not sure how I feel about it, not that I don’t want it to happen. I’m just concerned that a lot of people will think that everything is back to “normal” and we’ll see an increase in cases.

[@wesbrackmanthercenthusiast4695]

Yep not everyone has sense like you and l, It will get bad again here some not so fun facts about this virus , it causes fibrosis of the lungs , permanent back pain , and just yesterday was told that it is causing brain damaging hypoxia some are having blood oxygen saturation levels below 50% and here's the kicker no one gets immunity do I even have to say what that will do This is my limited knowledge of this not pretty is it, if you don't have a garden plot already I'd suggest making one better to make your own food then go hungry

[@nosilverharbinger]

Wes Brackman the RC enthusiast Yes, people living in urban, tenant-style apartments need to start raising chickens, cows, and setting up gardens. That definitely won’t create all kinds of possibilities for new diseases in the future, not to mention your landlord and neighbors will love it. SMH...

[@ZebraWheelie]

@TheCarpetbagger I love your channel. Now, my country is still on lockdown. But once things are open, I was thinking of vlogging some of the tourist attractions here in northern Ireland. Including titanic Belfast (voted the worlds best tourist attraction), and some of the filming locations from Game of Thrones.

[@jerrygundrum1]

We should still be in lock down

[@EnglishLitGirl]

Thank you, Jacob, for demonstrating responsible social distancing and hand sanitizing measures. You did a great job of showing how things are re-opening and still maintaining safety for both yourself and those around you. And it's good to see some tourist places opening and being safe, as well.

[@vegasaviation2243]

I’m excited for everything opening and more carpetbagger videos! “What’s the point of living if you don’t feel alive?” Have fun and be safe everyone

[@1funkateer847]

My family has great memories of this place. We hope to go back someday to see the "new" attractions and enjoy the awesome food.

[@laurels7892]

Carpetbagger, so happy you figured out the secret combination lock to escape from the bunker!

[@brianpierce642]

First video I saw where fun things were slowly opening....it was good and refreshing to see! Thanks Carpetbagger!!!

[@ReverandvE]

Thank you so much for doing this video. Great to see you again in "current" content!

[@TheCrazyPop]

I'm glad to see thing are slowly starting to open up!! Thanks for this video and I'm sure it felt good to finally get back out!!

[@trepplee]

Yes!! Stay safe n healthy! Thank you for sharing! You always make great videos!!!

[@ginalola6354]

Omg. I laughed so hard when you showed the what not to do’s on the wheel!!! Lol your calm delivery is on point!!! It’s sad those types of signs are necessary! 🙄😂🤣

[@FloppyCripple]

They're not necessary

[@sagegreenpowerllc9772]

Carpetbagger putting in work. Great video. Watching from big island Hawai’i.

[@MrFairwayjim]

GOOD LUCK STAY SAFE FROM ME IN GREAT BRITAIN (ENGLAND) MUCH LOVE THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND ENTERTAINMENT XX

[@poodlenme]

Bet it feels great to be out! ❤️

[@mcwatersd]

Its nice to see things opening up. Gives one hope. Im in the worst hot spot here in Canada so we wont see that for a while. Much appreciate the tour. Its the only way I get out these days. Be careful. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

[@gwenelvis5007]

Nice to see you out and about Mr Carpetbagger . Stay safe .

Nice video. Just left there today. Have fun!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

Glad you're out again bro'-thanks.

[@OldMovieRob]

Great to see you back out on your adventures again, even if in a limited capacity.

[@deniseconaway701]

Lol poor Jacob that claw machine wouldn't give you its goodies 😂, loved seeing people out and about, it proves they can slowly open stuff up, loved the vlog, sick of hearing about doom and gloom, your right Jacob we just have to be carefull, thankyou cheered me up x 😊🤗

[@amyreed-osborne5219]

The claw machines rarely give instead take money. Most claws are set too loose to pick what is in the machines up. 🙄

[@ericgrubb2680]

Thank you Jacob for checking out The Island. I went last summer and I miss it. The jerky store and the hot sauce store is awesome. Enjoy your trip bub

[@tigerbos9101]

I've already seen some disturbing videos from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg today. No social distancing and very few masks. That place is a petri dish now. I hope you used some precautions. I live an hour and a half away and as much as I love going there, I'm not going back for a very long time.

[@hoffman56]

Good. Stay away. We don't want you here. Ever.

[@tigerbos9101]

Who is 'we'? Wotever dude. lol

[@chrisknapping9985]

Thank you Jacob. It's wonderful to see you back to normal as you can be as here in the U.K. We are still in lockdown and will be for a while xx

[@Ralphinsc]

This gives me hope in the world. Thanks for showing me this. Been borderline in a rut not seeing fun things to do being open.

[@JimmyZNJ]

Great to see some light at the end of the tunnel Jacob! Great video, as always! 😊

[@clemtgrfan]

We were there at the same time you were. I hate we missed you because my daughter and I are huge fans. She is estatic because she was riding the Spinning Parrot ride when you were filming it from the ferris wheel. She was in the pink hoodie in the front car.

[@JUDYDAK]

Thank you for the update! Planning a trip for Thanksgiving!

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Jacob awesome vlog. So happy to hear that Pigeon Forge's reopening. Hope you stay well and be safe. I am still quarantined at home.👍🏻😷😺

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Am I the only one disturbed by the lack of mask? The virius isn't "over" it's still here. I am happy some things are open but people should still protect themselves or we are going to shut down again.

[@LifesAWhirlwind]

I had to almost giggle when you said that the sway adds to the relaxing nature of the wheel because that sway would give me anxiety....LOL... I will gladly see the views safely from this vlog :-)

[@LeAnimal65]

Just because it's open doesn't mean it's safe, especially since most I see aren't bothering to even cover their mouth ose. Take EXTRA care, Jacob!

[@hoffman56]

Put on your mask, then have someone wrap you in bubble wrap and mattresses and place you in a blast proof vault supplied with double filtered bottled water and organic, sustainable, responsibly sourced, gluten free tofu. No one should be allowed out until the probability of any negative occurrence happening is exactly 0.0!

[@rrrrrrtt1]

Jake, thanks for starting up again!! Can't wait to see what the future unfolds.

[@IndiAcres]

Glad to see you out and about👍❤️🇺🇸☀️

[@jan6626]

Yeah, so happy for you Jacob! Look forward to your travel blogs

[@thehighhopes5336]

Thanks for sharing. We are coming to gatlinburg from Baltimore next month. It's so great to see things opening up. I can't wait to get there. It's probably the greatest place on earth. Stay safe.

[@sandyhockemeyer9768]

Thank you so much for the tour!! Stay Safe and Healthy.

[@doreenbonosconi879]

I love Pigeon Forge! Next year we’ll be camping in the area. I can’t wait.

[@melissawinstead8701]

Fun place to visit. Great video!

[@MUSEMENT]

Good to see things open up. It is wise to keep up hygene and distancing. Also, we need to be outside and be able to keep up and build immunity to diseases.

[@ruthannkizakavich3325]

Thank you for the video, Jacob! It feels good to know that places are reopening! Take care & stay safe my friend!👍👍👍

[@Pinkcatninja]

Nice to see some things opening back up! Also that claw machine for the beats is a good example of "win amount" claws. It will keep track of how much money has been spent on the machine before it will actually keep the claw tight on an object. Pretty common in claw machines here in the US. Some of the ticket games also have similar programing!

[@richardschindler8822]

Good to see things are beginning to open, slowly, but opening.

[@AdventureswithBeck]

So refreshing to see this. Hopefully things will be lifted soon where I'm at so I can go on a small trip soon. I think everybody needs one now lol

[@carieevans3787]

Oh once again thanks for the vid! Pigeon forge is part of our upcoming vacation in 25 days. I've been wondering how things are going. So this is very helpful!

[@deniseboldea1624]

Good job emphasising the mask, hand Sanitizer and social distancing. A few things are beginning to slowly open here in Michigan, and while stores are enforcing the wearing of a face covering, I'm not seeing it in the outdoor activities like parks and ice cream stands. Stay Safe everyone.

[@scottmorrell148]

Glade to see you back out on the road be safe

[@KayFabe87]

Great to see that Pigeon Forge is getting back to some semblance of normalcy. Looking forward to going back soon. Hopefully the Rope Course at the Island will be open by the Fall.

[@Corgis175]

I bet you were glad to get out and about. As for the merry go round, the horse is what I would choose.

It’s not ended just because they are opening places back up! Still have to be if anything more careful when venturing out!

Kudos to you for using safety precautions with your hand sanitizer and mask.

Enjoy your videos. I'm in NC at the moment right now and have seen some great attractions thanks to your videos. Most everything was open back up when I went the weekend of June 19th

[@colabear2490]

up - up an away Mr. carpetbagger have fun today !

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Look after yourself my friend, you live in a lovely place, we visited from the UK last year and loved it

[@jimmie-satx]

I know everyone wants to be safe, but the terms “social distancing” and “new normal” drive me nuts.

[@jeffreygamer32]

God your so right this is all total crap because there is no way u can never ever come within 6 feet of another person

[@nosilverharbinger]

“These trying times”, “Slow the spread”, “Phased Re-Opening”, “Personal Protective Equipment” (PPE), “Re-agent”, “Essential (aka. expendable) Workers”, “First Responders”, “Supply Chain Disruptions/Shortages”, and just the terms, “Coronavirus/COVID-19” have been used to death throughout this journey through widespread human insanity. The only thing I know for sure is our corporate overlords couldn’t crank out the acronyms and generic catch phrases fast enough.

[@KayFabe87]

Jimmie: I am on board with you. It may seem like a minor point, but we need to outright reject allowing this terminology to become part of lexicon. It is only a "new normal" if we allow it to be. This so-called "new normal" should be as temporary as possible because it is simply not sustainable. Even 'social distancing' as a 'norm' should be rejected. I am not saying we should wantonly violate others' personal space, but we need to get over this manufactured fear that passing within 6' of someone will automatically lead to a hospital stay or a possible death sentence. Life is not without some level of risk. There is no politician or "public health official" who can guarantee you a risk-free existence. To expect otherwise is pure folly. If you are afraid; stay home and continue to weaken your immune system, but don't demand that everyone else acquiesce to your fear. Perhaps the government should shut down all highway travel until it can be "guaranteed" that no one will ever die in a fatal car accident. Otherwise; a speed limit of 5 MPH will be mandated everywhere at all times. It will absolutely reduce fatal accidents and save lives, but is it practical and without consequence? Hardly.

[@nosilverharbinger]

​@@KayFabe87 On your later point, people have traveled at around 5 MPH for far, far longer than they have been able to travel any faster than that, and guess what? They are all dead and gone now. They also had to deal with outbreaks of illnesses that killed people at much higher percentages than this particular virus. They had no good treatments, no understanding of things we take for granted like the germ theory of disease, yet they got through it. On your earlierr point, I happen to agree. We have all heard the many arguments brought up for why things have to be the way they are, and why they need to remain that way for some indeterminate amount of time. I guess it is going to happen regardless of what I have to say or think about it, but if I'm honest I really didn't like things the way they were before this all happened. People just seemed to really distrust and not like each other before. They just lived their lives staring at their phones constantly, and seemed to only want to have something to do with someone else they didn't know if they could exploit them in one way or another. In general, and again just being honest, people were so self-centered that it was repulsive to me. So, if this pandemic leads us to a "new normal" where that aspect of us diminishes even slightly I'd be elated with it, but something tells me that erecting barriers between us everywhere we go, and staying even more isolated from each other isn't going to achieve that result. If anything it is only going to make a terrible problem we already had even worse.
