Pigeon Forge Update! February 2021! - Pigeon Forge, TN

[@christiancholodiuk7836]

One of my favorite things is the thud of the camera when Jacob looks into a window display

[@melisagilbert4486]

Lol same!

[@brendathomas2309]

LOL!! True!

[@nooloo3000]

You know I've been watching this man's videos for a few years now and I still can't tell you what the channel is about keep up the good work man love your content

[@Cheezit_ishere]

I Agree

[@UweJMeyer]

I agree to 100%👍🇺🇸 Greatings from Germany

[@ohmywurd]

I appreciate that the Carpetbagger never misses a chance to say hello to a kitty.

[@melisagilbert4486]

I honestly can't explain my love and passion, borderline fear , obsession for fiberglass figures, wax figures and animatronics! 😍😍Great video as always 👍

[@bjornemccomb8262]

So many fun things to see here...love TN and Pigeon Forge especially. Something for everyone there. The cheese Stop sign and the cockatoo was my fav 🤩

[@NathanGinn987]

Me and my family used to go here a lot when I was a little kid haven’t been in along time but I’m pretty sure that little caesars used to be a Krispy Kreme where were from in Georgia they aren’t very common so we used to always stopped by there early in the morning when we’d stay in a hotel nearby. And that go kart track with the pumpkin house out front was one of my favorite places to visit along with the arcade with the alien busting out of the wall above the front door. I really enjoyed this video and seeing all these things I hadn’t seen in a long time. It’s nice to know that a lot of it is still there.

[@kaseyloftis8920]

We just missed you! We just got back from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge today. I actually thought, "It would be so cool to run into Jacob the Carpetbagger here." I always like watching your videos of the place after we get done visiting it.

[@AdventuresThatROCK]

You find the COOLEST things!!! Love it!!!

[@Disneyfreak_8]

I have fond memories of the Smoky Mountain Knifeworks! My family lived in Madison, TN and we went to the Knifeworks when I was young one day because my parents wanted me to see just how big a polar bear is in person. It’s one of those nostalgic places for me, even though it is filled with taxidermy lol

[@follkiej]

Those gorillas are nightmares waiting to happen and that cheese is hysterical!

[@derekk6906]

In 2 weeks we will be leaving the frozen tundra of Michigan where the high temp. today was 6 degrees. Heading to our favorite Tropical Paradise of East Tennessee for some Springtime weather..can't wait.

[@derekk6906]

I just asked my aunt in Farragut, she said yes they do. Should be pulling in around 4:00pm and the fried chicken with collards will be ready by 5:00. Crack open a cold beer and enjoy some spring weather after being stuck in this deep freeze for 4 months.

[@chrisgaddy10]

I live in Gatlinburg and we want you here. Just please throw your trash in the trash cans. They have them every 20 feet but for some strange reason, people who visit want to throw their trash on the ground and in the river.

[@derekk6906]

We are here for nature.. We love these mountains more than people who live here. 99% of our time is in the Great Smoky Mountains and I am not talking about Laurel Falls and flip flops pushing baby strollers. We spend majority of our time away from people.

[@tb8175]

Hi Jacob, I'm here in England, thanks for taking us on this great trip such amazing things to see 😊

[@lenorahemshrodt1519]

This is my favorite place to visit. Was there in August of 2020 and I am itching to go back.

[@OffRampAdventures]

The raptor busting thru the house! Made the video for me!

[@sandih9084]

I always enjoy your company Jacob 💕 I hope to see pigeon forge this year.

[@aprillinder1977]

Thank u for sharing this video! The Smokey Mountains are home for me. I've been away for just over a year, caring for my sick mother. I'm so excited to be going back home in the next month or so. This video really pulled at my heart strings...

[@AutumnAndAyda]

I love pigeon Forge Tennessee's so much

[@terryskidmore6739]

Glad you enjoy that tacky mess. You're welcome to it. My family has lived in Sevier Co. since the late 18th century. I had to move because I simply couldn't deal with the traffic, low wages and the many rude tourist. Maybe visitors should be more considerate and respectful while they are guests in someone else's home.

[@whereintheworldisjuliet3611]

The cheese is funny because it is! So random. Thank you for helping me through this difficult time with joy Many of you all have helped up keep me sane in this NIGHTMARE. I hope and prayer is that I can host you all 1 day. Either in small groups or just 1 event God bless you

[@UweJMeyer]

Good morning Jacob, man you are pretty busy.Thanks that you are for us all on duty.As always a great vlog. Greatings from Germany. 👍🇺🇸The USA, so far away, but so near in culture and behavior.I want to be there.

[@bucknk8edrobertlee734]

Hi Mr. Meyer's, From Florida

[@pennythejaguar]

That is very cool see new places in Pigeon Forge.

[@dannymartin1114]

Oh how I love smoky mountain knife works. Kids country and those gorillas are classic PF. Good to see Sexy Stuf is still around. Really like the way you filmed this.

[@mikedavies9379]

This looks a great place to visit ,love the gorillas.Great video,stay safe 🇺🇸🇬🇧😷👍

[@laurastrobel718]

I remember Sinclair Gas... I remember what the sign looked like, it had a green brontosaurus on it. A local station had one of those statues(painted green) on top of their building. Fun memory. Thanks for the update

[@HeavyMetalCrone]

The rock shop there in Pigeon Forge is one of my favorite places to visit! Another great video 💜

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

That gave new meaning to the saying "when pigs fly". Cute!

[@jodavidson4767]

Old Macdonald putt putt pigs fly there 2

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Jacob awesome vlog at Pigeon Forge. Have a wonderful year 👍🏻😺

[@7passionstar]

THAT was fun and the cheese on the stop sign cracked me up too. Thanks Jacob! 💖

[@shanesmaineshop]

been many years since we went there, I would like to go back at some point, thanks for sharing.

[@AdventuresThatROCK]

Definitely going to miss Pomme Frites!! That place was GOOD! Loved all the sauces.

[@SMOKYMTNPATRIOT]

If you're out that way Brad Renfro's grave is in a little country cemetery called Red House Cemetery if you go out past Bass Pro Shops about 30 minutes. Really talented local kid that couldn't escape Hollywood.

[@Corgis175]

Those gorillas were eerie. Love the animatronics.

[@derrickyates4318]

The half a bridge was formerly the Mountain Dew sky bridge. It had a glass section it was more an observation deck. Also had a zip line that went across the French river and had these jet boats to ride which locals where very against due to causing so much wake.

[@bicentenialkid]

Thanks for another great video and I hope you are doing well. Have a great day.

[@meganpeveich8407]

Come on, one can never be too obsessed with Bob Ross!

[@positivededication2300]

Dear Mr. Bagger; Thank you for your exceptional hard work to provide everyone with such great virtual adventures. Signed, The Masked Driver.

[@rocdocs]

I always picture pidgeon blacksmiths.

[@erinloveswendy]

17:58 Now that's what I call a Nightmare Fuel!

[@unclemetal8774]

I think the pigeon blacksmiths work for smokey mountain knife works.

[@killerkards333]

I just left here yesterday, literally stayed right near that firework store in the echota resort. I had a great time.

[@evpalfy2464]

Thank you for sharing your travels you are wonderful

[@Ravenwritindesk]

That's such a great area to stay in if you're wanting to do Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

[@Dozzer813]

I was just leaving there as you posted this. On my way to lookout mountain.

[@BmoreLioness]

You never can have enough Bob Ross Jacob. Never.

[@jcg336]

Jacob the Carpetbagger sums up the damage of Covid in one sentence - “I loved it, and now it’s gone.”

[@rodbelding9523]

Yup covid basically ruined everything and the worst part is there is still no end in sight a year later.

[@whereintheworldisjuliet3611]

Sigh. Very true

[@Jsteng08]

This is a bucket list place to visit

[@WhittyPics]

I remember when Sevierville was just a two lane road.

[@WhittyPics]

Looks like a lot of people there for Feb.

[@mcwatersd]

That was an awesome tour Jacob. That knife place was crazy . Our shops look so plain here in comparison. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤

[@RealMrBruh]

7:38 A lot of those swords are from video games as well. All the big key swords are from kingdom hearts i think, the shield on the left is from Zelda. Those double bladed swords with the handle in between them, in the second cabinet are energy swords from Halo. Then the axe in the bottom left corner is from Assassins creed. The 2nd highest sword in the second cabinet is from an anime called Sword Art Online its called the Elucidator and the character who owns it is called Kirito. I don't recognise any of the other swords but if it's a katana or looks like one its probobaly from an anime.

[@lazy_genuisvalt1607]

I forget is the red and white asunas or someone else’s

[@RealMrBruh]

@@lazy_genuisvalt1607 I think it's someone elses but her sword does have a red scabbard/cover.

[@choppertcp1045]

The fireworks store used to be Gorilla Fireworks it had been there for years that’s the reason for the gorillas. I was born and raised in sevierville and man has a lot changed since my childhood. The little Caesars in pigeon forge used to be Krispy Kreme donuts until they had to upsize and build new.

[@goofusmaximusII]

Really need to watch you more often.

[@annmooney1399]

I visit Sevierville and Pigeon Forge just about every year. Passed by knife shop not realizing what was inside. Thanks, it will be on my agenda next visit.

[@annmooney1399]

I meant the other things INSIDE besides knives, like historic displays, fantasy displays as well as the animatronics.

[@brendablystone1294]

Hi carpetbagger glad you're back awesome video

[@zanetaylor5639]

I don't know which is more terrifying a gorilla with glowing eyes or a bear with a giant knife.

[@ficklens]

Great video loved the band at The Knife Works!

[@OldMovieRob]

Pigeon Forge is awesome. Hope you get to visit more.

[@elizabethply7889]

The cheese on the stop sign has me ROLLING. So funny.

[@kansasgirl73]

The Board Camp Crystal Mine will be opening back up soon in Mena Arkansas. You must go!!!

[@kansasgirl73]

Looks them up! More than just crystal digging there!!

[@stevethomas9076]

Great content as usual, got my coaster-postcard through Etsy as I live nowhere near the Dixie Highway

[@jasonschannel1315]

I live around the corner from the fireworks store but enjoyed your video.

[@deniseboldea1624]

The one sword appears to be from Roroni Kension, and another appeared to be from Innuasha as one of Sessomeru's three swords. The futuristic looking ones look familiar, but I forget the Anime they were from.

[@paulfeagans9904]

Anyone else ready to go to Pigeon Forge?

[@Dreamybloo101]

Cool sightings to see around this trip

[@MBhorror9056]

I didn’t recognize any of the swords from the animé section but I did recognize the shield that was on the wall there, it’s the shield from the legend of Zelda video game series by Nintendo

[@OurShowOurStory]

Those gorillas are epic!

[@chuckoneill2023]

Regarding those fantasy swords - I’m pretty sure the swords in that first case are from Kingdom Hearts, which is a Disney fantasy game (also a series of books, etc.).

[@stephenpierson2958]

The go cart /coaster is not operational as Adam would say. Can't wait until everything is open again after winter season. Should have went to Lill Dolly they have a possum I you need to get a selfie with. I just seen it on Yankees in the south video. Thanks for the video

[@awebvlogs1044]

great video love the island.

[@robylove9190]

Thanks Jacob!

[@mr.midnight2154]

That gorilla moved!:)

[@salvagemonster3612]

We went to the flea market there right off the highway at the old fairgrounds I guess. Not far from the Knife place.

[@garygarner1095]

my neck of the woods and you got lucky its been so busy up there the new little caesars was the orginal location of krispy kreme

[@bearbeartime7082]

Reminds me of the country bears. Jamboree in Disney land. Awww miss that

[@jeffreyrigged]

yeah thats a new little ceasers thats the old krispy kreme building before they moved. i hate the drive through in that building never could make the turn in my truck.

[@sarahwood8484]

I asked the price of that dino almost a decade ago. They said 1k, so of course it's still there.

[@kathrynduncan7522]

You almost got me... "A lonely, one armed pros...pector."

[@connex3341]

7:48 bottom blue ones are halo energy swords. Actually own one. Been there awhile back

[@blakem9109]

The half bridge was Adrenaline Park, you walked out on the bridge and it had a glass floor. Looks like it is closed.

[@brrrrharrr]

that knife store is crazy

[@sandragula4863]

Wish I had known you were here. Boyd’s Creek/66 practically in my backyard. I would have treated you to lunch! Love your videos.

[@markp7644]

Kool this my hometown and still where I live and work

[@lacrossed55]

We were there last March. Enjoyed it. You just can't sit still! Love it. **Oh re the gorilla eyes ... There is a Toho/ godzilla style movie with a Mecha King Kong that reminds me of this Mecha KK had some gag with his light up eyes

[@michelleseager9782]

Cheese on a stop sign... the oddities Jacob shows us lol

[@GtotheC88]

“Someone” threw cheese on the stop sign. I wonder who it was, Jacob

[@agerven]

Well, the sign certainly stopped the cheese. And from all of Jacob's giggles you're fully excused for asking that question ;)

[@travisrainey1171]

It is funny for some reason.

[@markp7644]

Also I want to note the pandemic did not effect this area very much the restraunt I work actually was up in sales vs last year this is just the slow time.

[@destinynichols5139]

I live near pigeon forge I love it here

[@ECampbell947]

The eyes on that banjo playing bear makes it look like its possessed and is the most terrifying thing in that place... And I'm terrified of taxidermy....love your vids...

[@Gooberslop]

i live the pigion forge vids

[@retrometalguy]

I like watching Bob Ross, his show, The Joy of Painting is repeated on BBC4 (British TV channel) in the evenings between Monday through Thursday

[@HerWeekendTravels]

Thank you single slice of American cheese for making my day😂

[@landoflogic107]

Is the bear animatronic in the knife shop voiced by Ned Beatty?

[@michaelgayandproud6466]

Adam the woo would love this thanks for having me along for the ride

[@Satankitteh]

I love the things you give time to and say nothing about. I always wonder what everybody else thinks when the big furry tiger statue pops up.

[@tomservo5007]

16:12 , oh, it took your credit card just fine. Keep an eye out for charges you didn't make

[@jmagicfink]

Keyblades from the Disney Kingdom Hearts games

[@LanceDean]

Thanks for this video!

[@sandramcglinchey7712]

Jacob just wanted to give you a a tip CABELAS’s in Hamburg PA. Has a fish tank s exotic animals, unique deer,and many other things unknown if you can tape there?

[@jeffreyrigged]

sausage place was gone last time i was there i was highly upset thats been about 6-8 months ago.

[@Mokujo]

The last thing I bought at a Smoky Mountain Knife Works was a shoujo manga magazine from 1983. Frankly that's just weird to think about.

[@penxor53]

The portable jail cell might be a shark cage

[@gurleykristin]

Still giggling from the cheese slapped on to the sign! 😂

[@kentb03]

The fireworks store you was at with the gorillas in front was once called Gorillas Fireworks......

[@tracyp831]

I love how when you show a problematic attraction you just let the silence speak for itself lol
