People don’t understand why I am so obsessed with Vermont but it truly is a magical place.

[@TroutandCoffee]

There's just nothing like it!!

[@clovermark39]

Looks amazing.

[@Mamasun01]

That’s why I moved here ❤️

[@lowellirish]

Says WHO?! It's chock full of Meth, its got -20f winters, there's no work, the infrastructure is 100s of years old...

[@marybabbidge8729]

I live here in the rural northern Vermont mountains. It truly is the most magical place all year long.

[@stephenblack5425]

I absolutely love the new england part of the USA. Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It has so many mountains, deep forests, charming small towns, gothic churches, old graveyards and Christmas stuff in the snowy winter. 💜

[@jgator6694]

Don’t forget Maine! Maine is gorgeous

[@philipwilkins3812]

I find myself going back through the older videos often. The talent you have is remarkable. Your a calming person for me and a great distraction to life’s disturbing ways. I appreciate your talent and work ethic. I depend on your video each week. Thank you for what you do! It makes a difference.

[@cynthiaharrell784]

Kyle if you guys keep bringing it like this, I'm going to pack up and move to New England. Your work is astonishing.

We always await your next instalment Kyle with a warm blanket, a large mug of tea, our Twinkly living room lights and we "hunker down" to be taken on a journey with you and Ally. Thankyou for making such beautiful, relaxing, nostalgic viewing that is like ASMR for my whole body ,not just my brain. I REALLY appreciate what you do. Much love to you both. Becky and Dan, UK

[@EmilyBoltz]

Watching your Vlogs is like watching a movie. I love how you fade the music out and we hear the sounds you get to hear. It's like you are tuning our ears getting ready for it. Love your work!

[@paulatomlinson5630]

I left New England almost 20 yrs ago and watching your channel gives me all kinds of emotions. Most of the time I’m not able to get through the episode, only because my heart hurts too much. You’re a talented storyteller and I absolutely love for people to see our beautiful part of the world. I look forward to the day when I’m able to move back to Vermont.

[@lawriefoster5587]

Paula, I left Vermont after living there 10 years about 40 years ago. I do miss it but now that my Husband and I are in our 70's I am glad to be living in Philadelphia.

[@mustangsally5051]

@@lawriefoster5587 I will be 70 in this coming March...May I ask why you are glad to live in Philadelphia?? Is it as nice as Vermont??.. I'm in New Brunswick Canada..but did go by Vermont and fell in love with it...I like where I am but people are building fast around which I don't like...not private enough, there were hardly anyone when I came here...Anyways..let me know please..

[@lawriefoster5587]

@Mustang Sally...Thank you for your question. We live in NW Philadelphia right near Fairmount Park..one of the largest city parks in the world. The neighborhood is loaded with beautiful old homrs, gardens and trees. We have three world class hospitals within 20 minutes of our home. Also 9 grocery stores. At our age this is important. Vermont and New England is my soul's home but for the medical, the convenience Philadelphia can't be beat.

[@lauramitchell6725]

@@lawriefoster5587I left Vermont 31 years ago after living there for ten years.My husband and I are in our sixties and Central Pennsylvania is preferable because of the weather and good medicine nearby.(Penn State Hershey Medical Center) We were eight and a half years in Ludlow,Vermont and a year and a half in Bennington,Vermont. How about you?

[@Elizabeth-rp1pi]

I live in the countryside in a New England state, and own a vacation home in another neighboring New England state, because I have been AWAY on vacation in other parts of the USA and outside the country as well, and I cannot imagine living anyplace else. 🥰

I would like to be in your shoes 💕💭

[@MrLittlefeat]

I hope that you realize how important your video's are, you make me proud to be here in a small New England Town. This is why I miss "A Prairie Home Companion" especially with what's going on in this world today. Thank You .

[@marcelc7135]

Kyle, your awareness of the seasonal cycles and the colors that mark them is magical. Not to mention your connection with the vernacular and its cultural value in our lives. Thanks.

[@thomaskrawchuk4940]

This is literally the best channel, cabins, small town, adventures, project and cars. Truly, Thank you! P.S. You should help out Mason to start a channel that would be sick!

[@TroutandCoffee]

Thanks a lot Cole! I really do appreciate that! Those are all my favorite things ha! And we were just talking about that the other day. KZbin definitely isn't for everyone but we'll see what happens!

[@keithhalliday6507]

Just felt the need to thank you Kyle for allowing us into your world. I'm of a diffent generation to you (my kids are older than you) and I live way over the water in the UK. But you've inspired both my wife Christine and I to seek more of a calming influence from nature. Luckily we live in a rural setting surrounded by trees and streams.(and we've also got an old and much treasured F100 short bed), so I guess there's a connection there. So please carry on sharing your creativity with us it means a lot.

[@tricksagogo]

The music in this one was exquisite, and refreshing compared to other channels

[@jschoenack]

Kyle, you truly have a gift of story telling! Your words convey and invoke imagination. Watching always transports the mind and spirit to peer into a tiny piece of your life, your story. I always look forward to your videography. Phun that you went to Burlington. That is Phish territory and you were right near Nectars, the old Hood milk plant and the house where it all began. It truly was “A Circus of Light Where Dreams Can Take Flight”!

[@Hogan65]

Made me cry and miss home I left for Florida in 2005 after 35 years in Massachusetts. I guess home is always in the heart . I cried and that takes allot . Well done my friend .

[@loretta9478]

I don’t know how you do it Kyle but you got me again! This video choked me up, not sure why, perhaps the simplicity and beauty of nature combined with the value of family and adventure. The heartwarming decorated little towns, you and Ally’s laughter & the store merchants friendly gesture as he walked you out the door. The good life! 🙏❄️💕

[@margaretleehightower3073]

Just Lovely……I really Hope you and Ally know….just how much ..JOY…You put into the World ❤️❤️

[@pamelab224]

Hi Kyle….I just found your channel last week so now I am catching up and tonight I watched this. I am an upstate New York girl that has lived a few other places like Pittsfield, Mass., Maine, and New Hampshire. I love New England. I spent 2006 to 2016 in Southern California and could not wait to get back to the beauty and seasons of the northern east coast. Thank you for creating this wonderful channel. Pamela

[@jessehankla8193]

Kyle, after doing an overdose of NFL today, I turned to your channel and was so happy to see your Christmas Holiday video. I t brought back childhood memories, so sweet, of growing up in Western Oklahoma. Although I am in FL now, I was born, raised, and educated in Oklahoma, a graduate of the University of OK College of Fine Arts. Thus, I hope you can see why I enjoy and am truly touched by your beautiful, "from the heart," art. Please keep up the good work. Thank you again, with your art, helping me through the past six weeks of surgical pain recovery. I wish you, Ally, your family, and friends a happy, blessed 2022.

[@julianlavergne]

Your videos take me back to 1973. A road trip through eastern Canada and coming back through eastern US. What a magical area.

[@jenniferlee7167]

Just exactly what I was hoping for! Vermont and New Hampshire at Christmas--I love the Vermont Country Store so much. My parents took my brother and I there on a visit one summer and I have ordered from it for many years. The lights and the charm of New England at Christmas are not to be forgotten. Thank you a million times over. It just happens to be snowing as I write this from my home in DC. We'll be sending some up your way as well. Thanks for the great road trip! God Bless!

What a delight to hear all the birds in the early scenes--never saw one of them but imagined a Cardinal or Northern Bobwhite lurking iin the piney woods there abouts! Thanks for the renewed memories and I'm going to visit that beautiful B&B if I can find it some day!

[@shellytoland5157]

I’ve been watching you and Ally’s videos for the past week. I love the feeling you both create in them. I love that you took her to back Lonesome Woods! Wishing you both peace and balance 🖤. Beautiful video today. Ty

[@BIJOU167]

Sunday evening in the UK and this is pure bliss

[@MikeyFortune]

I loved the video Kyle 👍🏻. The mention of Chet Baker helping to shrink the world down to an intimate friends mutual appreciation space. I once owned theaters and played the doc “Let’s Get Lost” about Chets’ life at my Art twin. Bonus is having a friend who knew Dave Van Ronk on a personal basis. Kudos to your Dad’s musical taste. During the Christmas season I listened repeatedly to Diane Ziegler’s “Christmas In Vermont” CD. So organic and beautiful 👍🏻

[@Miami_Delights]

Amazing Kyle. This made my January. Definitely took an edge off my Scottish winter blues.

[@waynelougee9528]

From one artist to another this has to be your best use of lights and video editing! Great job kid!

These videos are everything I dream of and more! They are Heartwarmingly Amazing! My former Grandfather in law was born and raised there. His stories always kept me longing to hear more... Now I have this! As he has passed some years ago. Vermont Always has been #1 on my bucket list! Your gift of bringing it alive on video is incredible!! You are going to have everyone moving there lol Take Care, keep filming 💛

The ice-covered trees look like something out of “Whoville”! Noticed a slightly different filming style in this one - loved it!!

This video feels like a warm hug to my soul or a dream I don't want to wake up from. Truly this is the coziest truest thing Ive ever watched and it feel familiar to exsactly how I felt in the country as a child.

[@yeboscrebo4451]

I wish our nation would have held more closely to the Jeffersonian ideal of small, agriculturally based and close-knit communities. The lifestyle you portray here is so drastically different and more appealing than the toxic environment of our large cities.

Great video, Kyle! Loved the ice on the trees in the beginning! That was truly magical! I’ve never seen that in the Berkshires, in spite of numerous winter visits. And loved the Vermont road trip all the way up to Burlington, especially at Christmastime! So beautiful and so much fun!

[@GregBrecker]

Wow your little adventures remind me to take a minute, get away from the touch screens, the monotony of running large trains across country, and get back to the small-town explorations that are far more meaningful. with heartfelt interactions so often missed nowadays.

[@AEOrchard5543]

Thank God the whole advertising thing didn't pen out because your gift is obviously in filming and story telling. I totally got Vermont after your film. Although I've never been, I got the feeling of nostalgia and of coming home. It's so beautiful. Thank you for taking me there. It was a wonderful experience.

[@PBZzZz]

Dave Van Ronk AND John Prine mentions. Love it!!!

I really enjoyed this! I was excited to get to see The Vermont Country Store! I have bought from their magazine for the past few years. There were a lot of firsts for Ally in this one for sure! Love the old houses, churches, and businesses all lit up for Christmas! So Awesome for sure! Thank you so much Kyle! 😊

[@lelandpeck4585]

Hi Kyle, I love your storytelling ability. Your voice is so mesmerizing. Your music choices are so fitting for each video you do. What a a God given gift you have. I just got through watching your episode on the old man with cancer with who changed your life. It was so moving. Never give up the gift that is already yours to pursue something not as fitting for you. Continue doing what you do and say hello to Allie for me.

[@montyhowell6050]

Thanks, Kyle and Al. Over the couple of months since I've found you, you've rekindled my desire to capture life though my old Nikon fast-glass, and thaw out the 100ft., frozen rolls of Tri-x black and white film, that I hoarded in my freezer. Twelve years ago, when I resigned my position as a news photographer, I put away my cameras and became a hospital RN, and the last 2 years have wrenched the soul. I intend to take my '65 Mustang, or my '74 BMW motorcycle back to the road , now. I realize, I don't have to publish the images, just making them thaws my soul again. What you have is spiritualism in pure form, not in the religious, western culture spiritualism, but the spiritualism that is the connection to your people, and life, and nature. I see the elements you capture. Details of life and people; the little snippets of conversations and glances. It's moments. Kind of like a science fiction movie that downloads the collection of a human life, and uploads them to the cyber-borg. It is what's human. As a journalist, my goal was to capture the emotion/feeling of a person, place, or event. Well done. Ali reminds me of my youth, with a camera around my neck ...looking. She has both the whole face smile of a beautiful child, and the unmistakable presence of a pretty woman. We like seeing the world through her. In today's deluge of media and images and words, I look forward to your videos. They remind us what's really important. It's a practice in saying what you can say , without saying it. Editing is hard, I've learned. Learning what you can leave out. You're really a master. Oh, and the wife is now a coffee snob, thanks to you guys.

[@jeffmorris739]

Well I think we have had more snow in Nashville than you guys so far this year. You can come and get all you want and take it back to New England. The people here don't know what to do with it. Wonderful story. You are a true craftsman with word and camera. Happy New Year!
