Tommy g. That comment that you made about President Biden that this message is for you. When you had the gun in your hand. A lot of people are going to look at that like that's a threat, a terrorist attack. So you got to be careful what you say because you better hope and pray they don't come after you and find you and put you in jail for what you said. My suggestion is you make another video saying it wasn't towards him any manner because somebody said that before and now they're in prison for 20 years. So watch your back. Watch what you say. People are sensitive so you should make another video saying it wasn't towards him. Any mean way? But anyway good video

I think my favorite part about this is that everyone has the ability to fix their own shit if it breaks. I think there is a lot of freedom in that.

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

and a lot of good strong self-reliance in that. When I buy something I learn how to fix it myself, I won't go to a shop to fix it unless its outright dangerous or cheaper to do so like my crossbow when I get a new string for it I give it to my local outfitter to string because I don't have the equipment.

[@shawnkelly695]

Hard to fuck over those with mutual respect. When a person turns to greed and wants to become mega rich and over charge for services there is 0 respect. These red necks will help and only charge a modest amount. I work for a red neck, i charge him 30 to 40 bucks per day and when i need his help it only costs me 30 or 40 bucks. If a redneck friend breaks down we go help them and not charge friends money beyond a bit of gas if travel too far. Never rich but as a community we dont need massive money cause we help cheap and often times free. So ya hard to screw over good hearted people that would be there for you. Not financially but physically to save money. Just havin a good time livin in the moment

Tommy I've been following you since you had like 15,000 subscribers I've watched you blow up over the past couple years which is well-deserved I think what you're doing is amazing getting people that would have never been or heard about these places are aware of these places and I got to say it takes a tough effort to do this so I know you can handle your own.. much love from a rapper fan

[@369-JJJ]

East Tennessee is the most beautiful and place in America. I love it here. Been here for 16 years. And I’ll never leave. God Bless Tennessee!!

[@AL-Boogie.]

Dang, I’m a Carolina/Ga area black guy and I must say, those fellas look hella fun to hang out with! Who would’ve known backwoods TN was that lit! Nice video!💯💪🏿

Wow this was a truly genuine piece on the Appalachian sub culture! This is me, this is my friends and family. Everything said was relevant and relatable! God bless all his children! Thanks y’all

These guys seem awesome, even though they don't seem like the kind of people I'd hang out with on a regular basis, it would be fun to spend a day with them. Thanks again for a great episode, helping to show the world that most everyone on earth can get along with one another just fine, and that we need to stop caving into the division that certain people in power have been sowing into the people.

Man that clip from 11:35-11:55 gave me chills. Unify 🇺🇸 We The People That was truth being spoken right there. Young right now but so happy I get the opportunity to raise my future children to show them what’s right and true.

[@alphonsowashington9746]

Unify who??? Us black folks are here as slave descendants, and we're still being heavily manipulated. The problems these folks started in the inner cities is still going on, nothing has been done but enhancements to make sh worse. Look what theyve done with our music and culture, its alot of sh going on behind the scenes. We're not trying to unify with anyone until we're even or this country is completely regulated with a new government. When you bring this shyt up, they say all black ppl do is complain. Who tf sits back silent and lets someone get over on them??? We not unifying until we get even or this country is completely regulated. This country was taken in blood we gone get it back in blood. The same way it was taken is how it will be taken from them. Karma is real and the universe doesn't lie..

[@pedromoraguez2446]

Been watching you for a week now Tommy. Top tier documentaries my man, cant get enough. Awesome work!!!!!!!

[@Clt.Autophoto]

I'm so glad that Tommy G finally made a video that represented where I come from and the lifestyle I live. I am greatly satisfied with this video because I felt that it corrected and knocked most off the stereotypes about our lifestyles on there face.

[@curtismiller582]

It was so much fun to meet Tommy and his camera guys I hope y’all had fun at my little southern slice of paradise and I hope to see you again before too long!!!

"Mask guy" was actually a very intelligent and logical person hopefully his mentorship and instruction will help mold these young buck into solid citizens when they are finished sowing their wild oats...

[@shanewoods1980]

We can only hope so! I live in a different part of the woods farther south. And I’ve yet to see rapper rednecks. I’m not a fan of showing people what type of artillery you have either.

[@Pleasemison]

Why....actually...

[@carletonrutherford1799]

He was a liar, who spewed misinformation. Look at Joe Brandon's border policies, they are the exact same at Trump's. So if he has a problem with it, he has a problem with the fat orange turd's border policies. The economy is doing well. Gas prices are coming down. Unemployment is at the lowest rate in 50 years. And the reason food prices are high is corporate gouging, which is the American free market at it's finest. So if he want's to complain about high food prices, take it up with the corporations who control the distribution and sales of food.

[@nookied3735]

Mask guy isn't that intelligent because he literally said the second amendment was an "infringeable" right. I sure as hell hope not.

[@predictiveprogramming3760]

I’m from SoCal. Single mom, moved to Alcoa, TN with my daughter. We love it! Met some great people, enjoying the beauty, thunderstorms & pontoons (you don’t see em in SoCal) still shooting and figuring out where to buy a home. After ppl ask where I’m from I say, southern CA, - I’m Republican, don’t give me sh*t and they just laugh and then all is well 😂

[@russellsmith1048]

So far I am loving this video! I am a black man from the DMV. The Washington DC area. I feel bad to hear about the chronic drug problem in Eastern Tennessee. The drug problem is all over this country. Would I be accepted in their town? I hope so. These dudes are down to earth straight genuine! I love that!

He wasn't bullshiting when he said,anyone can come over and have a good time...

[@ryanbishop3343]

Mr. Smith everyone is accepted around here. In God’s eyes we’re all the same. The biggest majority of people from the greater Tri-Cities area were raised to believe nobody is better than anyone else and that life brings with it enough hardship without us making more for ourselves.

[@griffithracingteam2412]

I live right across the state line in nc through Roan mountain about 20 minutes from these boys and I about guarantee you that you'd be welcomed there or up here where we're from. Just a good old bunch of country boys that loves everybody.

@@ProfileP246yup it is crazy. I had folks in the North Carolina militia during the revolution. Then some crossed the mountains into Tennessee which was still North Carolina at the time. These young men here are descendants of those kinda people. Fighters and farmers to a one. Most wouldn’t hesitate to give you the shirt off their back but not the kind of people to be crossed though either. Generational feuds over something like livestock.

Im from West Virginia and Im a interracial man. My father was Black and my mother is German, but I describe myself as black. Growing up in the Appalachia mountains we're tought to watch over our family and friends at all cost. Ive never dealt with prejudice and never been called outside my name while growing up in WV. I joined the military and retired after 22 years, I returned back to WV and things are still the same. I have a house full of guns to protect me and my family, because this world is crazy and id rather have the gun when i need it rather than not have it when someone is trying to take from me family. Appalachia people are good, hard working, honest people. They will give you the shirt off their backs 💪💪💪

[@AmericanIdiotPolitics]

Yessir. I'm from Appalachian Ohio (bout 30min from wheeling), and I can say the sense of community here is amazing, if you need something, someone will help out. In these small rural places and communities, it doesn't matter who you are, everyone sticks together.
