Call of the Wild

[@christenwicklund]

Glad to see the Big Boy's still open. I would always stop there before crossing the bridge to lower Michigan.

[@lappelduvide6751]

This guy is amazing, I've never been bored with any of his videos.

[@robylove9190]

This museum has really beautiful dioramas. Thanks Jacob! I really enjoyed this video.

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Welcome to my work place buddy this is awesome I work there for 19 years if you are back in West Branch Michigan you need to stop by the lumber jack food and spirits

[@stevesworldofwanders]

I loved all the old school visual effects in the displays. The raccoon tree was the best!

[@mommaice]

You have come across some of the most awesome places. Thank you for taking us along on this wonderful adventure!!

[@OtterSara]

Paul Bunyan and Babe are my favourites as well. Reason is that as a child I watched a Disney cartoon about them. Another legendary figure I love is Rübezahl (Turnip Counter) who hails from Bohemia, Czech Republic. Rübezahl is a mountain spirit, who helps good people and kicks the butts of bad people. And I am looking forward to more taxidermies and oldschool attractions. Those are among my favourites.

[@debi1451]

We could use Rubezahl right about now!.

[@lizlocher3612]

When we were kids under 12 we went to Call of the Wild Museum and loved it!!!! That was in the 1960:s in Northern Lower Michigan, where we vacationed for 2;weeks every Summer in a fabulous authentic Swiss Chalet cottage my Father's friend lent us for accounting work he did for his business, at Mullet Lake, Michigan and it was so totally unique and atmospheric and we saw all the roadside attractions available because my Mother was a fan of them, verily, we had much exposure to the life in the forests of Northern Michigan and it is very gratifying at the age of 65 yrs. Old to see Call of the Wild again as well as the taxidermy restaurant not only for the memories and atmosphere enjoyment, but to know they still exist and are still as wonderful as ever for future generations. Thank you for this youth enhancing trip down memory lane and glimpse of hope for the future!!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!!

[@svendubronovic8343]

One of my favorite roadside attractions of all time. Thanks for covering it!

[@toastmn]

I hope you are on your way to Mystery Spot, and the Michigan Shipwreck museum at Whitefish Pointe. And yes, they do have real pieces of shipwreck laying out on the beach.

[@willienailer2430]

A day without a carpet bagger video, Is just a day Thanks for the awesome entertainment

[@debi1451]

Anyone else think of "Big the Foot" when Jacob said Sasquatch?. Lol.

[@noelfamily5809]

Every summer when we go camping in the redwoods in Northern California, we stop at the Paul Bunyan Trees of Mystery center. That giant Paul Bunyan statue talks to you, waves his hand and winks at you.

[@kaitlando636]

I've been there. Its really cool.

[@deniseboldea1624]

Nice to see they've improved the Museum since I was dragged there as a kid. Back in the day, if you looked closely enough at the exhibits you could see the tire tracks and other damages from unfortunate encounters with cars.

[@Brituhknee]

The old Indian guy with the tv head omfg terrified me

[@TheCarpetbagger]

That sounds intriguing

[@Inamichan]

Man I didn’t know this was in Michigan! Thanks for showing us. Maybe I’ll go up north and visit since it’s not far.

[@dannymartin1114]

That museum was fantastic, so classic. I loved that, and bonus taxidermy, and Paul Bunyan, and dam puns.

[@BrianaAfterthought]

for tall tales, i've always like the tales of Paul Bunyan and John Henry, and i remember going to Call of The Wild when i was a kid, so this brought back good memories. that Horned Owl display always stuck with me all these years.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

It will stick with me forever

[@maryloumader-pipia9698]

This museum has excellent exhibits

[@mikedavies9379]

Another great video of road side America 🇺🇸🇬🇧😷👍

[@jennyvezina4551]

I love the fact your in Michigan. If you continue north can you show us some of the fall colors if it's not too early. Also Michigan had some fantastic cider mills if you happen to see one stop and treat yourself to some warm cider and fresh cinnamon donuts!!!!

[@nv_spartan1771]

Uncle Johns cider Mill was always my favorite.

[@Brituhknee]

So many childhood memories. I'm so glad you're in michigan

[@SantosChronicles]

Paul Bunyan is a staple on roadside attraction. Never seen one sitting down and wearing real clothes.

[@kaitlando636]

Or without babe. His blue ox

[@TheGothMoths]

Have you tried going to then mini time machine in Tucson Arizona I love that place and so fun the mini fairy is my favorite

[@TampaJay]

This place is awesome man

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Jacob 🖐🏼. I wish l had known that you were At Greenfield Village. IN Dearborn Michigan. I would have met you there. I'm not that far from there. Anyway this video WAS very interesting And informative.thanks you for sharing.🖐🏼

[@Roger-hp1yg]

I'm going to watch this video alot thank you for going here.

[@max_1336]

I enjoy your videos thank You so much!!

[@Roger-hp1yg]

Awsome you went to Call Of The Wild Museum. That's one of my favorite places to go to.

[@OrangityOrange]

Loved what you said about the wolverine!🤣

[@debraervin3358]

I have gone there as a kid like 50 years ago.

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Been at The Call of The Wild museum many times. Great place.

[@maggiemacaroni9193]

Trust me , dinosaur gardens the THE stop in Michigan. The city also has a large Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue Ox! :)

[@cherilg88]

I have recommended Dinosaur Gardens to him a few times. Ossineke, Michigan is the town where I live.

[@maggiemacaroni9193]

Cheri Gibson that must be so much fun

[@willienailer2430]

You find some interesting places ,thank you for stopping by the places other people drive past

[@Mystery_102]

Pecos Bill is my favorite!

[@michaeljablonsmi4686]

I can always hear the cars in the background. I remember some roads were so quiet with no cars. Just another sign of changing times.

[@jmorgan5252]

Great video Jacob. My favorite tall tale legend is Pecos Bill and his trusty steed Widowmaker.

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Jacob awesome vlog at the call of the wild museum and roadside attractions 👍🏻 like the giant Paul Bunyan’s Red and Black flannel giant mask, roadside statue👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stay well and safe all great

[@toystorylover5257]

Cool museum! It seems like a cool place. My favorite part was the bears and the coyotes. The arctic fox was cute too. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffbrown4708]

A great restaurant in West Branch, MI is Lumber Jack Food & Spirits. I've been there several times, you should check it out!

[@disco0752]

A most curious wonderment of life! Thanks homey

[@MikeyM28]

Check out Dinosaur Gardens in Ossineke, Michigan! trust me you'll enjoy it.

[@anthonybomberry9935]

You do drive alot thank u for your videos

[@shelbymcgrath4047]

i don’t know if you’re planning on going to savannah georgia but the graveface museum is super cool! it reminds me of ripleys but a lot scarier

[@videl]

I grew up 30 mins from Gaylord but I was born there. I went to call of the wild many many time. I miss the gift shop. I am so excited to see what changed and what is the same. Parts with the projectors used to creep me out so badly. They look less scary now. Are you going to Castle rock or the Mystery spot in the UP?

[@scottslagle5596]

Cool! If you’re ever out in Northern CA, you should check out Trees of Mystery in Klamath, CA!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Will go as soon as the universe allows

[@alexadair5871]

I always love your video's. I don't know how you find all of these out of the way museums, but they are pretty entertaining. You need to come to Oklahoma and do Woolarock and Gilcrease.

[@alliekuma4234]

I'm so excited you're in my state! ^_^ I had no idea half this stuff was even in Michigan!

[@jeremiahlarkin1134]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Great 👍🏻 way to start my Sunday Morning, Now onto Church on TV 📺 with the SBN Network and is Brother Jimmy Swaggarts Network! Happy 😊 Sunday Jacob, 9-20-2020! Maybe Venture into The Bayou someday!!!!! Hard to Believe them were all once a time ago all ALIVE CREATURES! And I always Loved ❤️Paul Bunyan Best!!

[@CONNORJARRETT]

I wish I had a resturant that had a bear and a raccoon looking at you while you eat your seafood

[@CONNORJARRETT]

It looks a lot like bays mountain exhibit. You should go to Bays Mountain

[@TiltedTripodMedia]

That big boy you mentioned would not be a Bob’s big boy it’s more than likely Elias brothers big boy. Each region has their own local chain Cincinnati is Frisia’s big boy Michigan is Elias brothers and in California they have Bob’s big boy

[@thecalmmomma9516]

That really bothered me, too. After spending two years in Southern California I cringe when I hear it in Michigan.

[@TiltedTripodMedia]

Yes that bothers me as well because I grew up in Michigan

[@clodwolf]

Bob started it though

[@TiltedTripodMedia]

clodwolf right

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Yep, think your right, I momentarily forgot they have a different name in each state, I know Fisch’s statue is significantly different

[@blakepack9586]

Come to wapakoneta to the air and space museum!

[@aylaeh]

I was wondering, have you ever been to Wolf Park in Brookston, Indiana? that might be some place that you consider going if you have not been to one of their Howl Nights. Also, there used to be a giant Paul Bunyan in Muncie Indiana. I don't know if it's still there but I used to drive by it quite a bit.

[@awesomemcnuggietittsschalk4313]

I wish I knew you were up I could have given you a fantastic tour of crazy! Alpena MI McNuggie grew up here still live here! Let me know man.

if this was you taking my advice that is MORE than AWESOME!!!!!

[@theinkedcinematicfanatic1989]

I was born in West Branch, Michigan..AWESOME!!

[@loverofbalto]

I love John Henry thanks to the Disney Short they did of him.

[@CONNORJARRETT]

I’m writing comments while I watch the video

[@SantosChronicles]

Wow, a Taxidermy Museum. This is a bit creepy. Now I want to go.

[@marybufordAUTHOR]

I like the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth Minnesota. Have you stopped there? Love the taxidermy!! Please keep it coming! 🦌🦊🐿

[@edward1081]

John Henry is my favorite folklore person

[@matty6878]

5:28 reminds me of the music video Plaster Casts of Everything by the Liars

[@karlshaw4347]

America has better sights than where I live and alot of interesting history

[@mcwatersd]

That was a very unusual Paul Bunyan. Would not want to be his dresser. Interesting museum. That owl belongs in the Exorcist. You always find a way to give me a chuckle. Indeed what does the fox say? That is a very unique restaurant. Love all the wood in there making it look like you are dining in the forest with all those creatures. Keep Safe❤ Keep Well❤

[@Corgis175]

Paul Bunyan would be my favorite folk hero.

[@pizzabeerd]

Dude no way I was there last year with my girlfriend on a mini vacation! So fun! That's so cool :)

[@susanboatman7913]

Jacob visit Mackinac Island.

[@brentmason7639]

I’m gunna be sad the day you stop posting and stop sharing your travel life with us all.

[@ProfSir1]

I propose we begin calling Jacob an American Treasure.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

I'm glad you said that about the baby deer - there's pretty much no hunting permit that allows people to shoot fawns, so I was worried about them being in this museum. It's sad they were probably stillborn, but that's life, I guess. Or I guess it technically isn't.

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

My favorite tall tale is Windwagon Smith

[@HerWeekendTravels]

In 02' I almost hit a cougar on my way to high school. It was taller than my car. I reported it but don't think they took me serious. In the U.P. at this point in time we were still being told by the D.N.R. that cougars didn't inhabit the area. Yeah right.

[@chuckoneill2023]

I don’t think Johnny Appleseed should be categorized with Paul Bunyan, as he was a real person. Casey Jones, Mike Finn, Johnny Appleseed are often “lumped in” with Paul and Sasquatch, but they shouldn’t be. Casey would be my personal favorite, as he was a true hero.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

They are all American legends, Johnny just has the added bonus of being real

[@debi1451]

@@TheCarpetbagger , Johnny Appleseed is my favorite, Trees and fruit , you can't go wrong!.

yes! im from gaylord i live in albuquerque now but it was so nice to see this strange place of my childhood again. thanks so much amazing carpetbagger man!

I wish I could go there that’s awesome

[@ilcontraversientertainment3689]

Next time you find yourself in Montgomery Alabama go on down to the Montgomery Zoo and Mann Wildlife Museum. Its modest but worth the stop and Mann's got quite a bit of taxidermy

More taxidermy ? Antlers?😆

Stay tuned

Look at those eyes --- Paul Bunyan is definitely stoned.

Go to Owosso and check out the Curwood Castle.

[@williamhyde2310]

I grew up in Michigan in the 70s and didn't know there was one there . We went to Arkansas for vacation every year and passed one in Poplar Bluff Missouri and I always wondered what it was like. Pretty cool if it was anything like this. Building is still there and it's still named Call Of The Wild but now it's a strip club lol. Also there's awesome Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox statues in St Ignace Michigan

[@kellybenko2828]

You need to go to Washington and visit the museums if the Smithsonian. You'll get a good month of content.

That's not Paul, that's just a lumberjack. You can see a Michigan Paul in St. Ignace, but the real Paul is in Minnesota (Brainard area) at Paul Bunyan Land. - Add this place to your list!
