Don't let any Yankees move in😂😂. They've screwed up every good place in North Carolina.

Deliverance

Democrats are ruining Virginia

Read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.

Have lived in sw Virginia all my life and never want to leave until God takes me home. 😊

Everybody knows that Virginia stops at Roanoke. Southwest Virginia is a myth. 😉

There’s a reason why it’s still wilderness.Takes a special kind of person to want to settle there.

Please take this video down. We do not want more people moving to VA and bringing their twisted ideologies and gun control with them.

Grayson county🏡🥰

No need putting this on as a treasure about to be lost. Everyone will rush to it ! Take it down 👎

Proud Grundy resident

Most everywhere people have been is polluted and scarred by mankind. Illegal dumps and people living in squalor have strewn plastic everywhere. This not to mention the polluted streams. Damn shame we humans destroy all we touch.

Delete this and keep quiet

I graduated from Emory & Henry 15 years ago and still live in southern West Virginia - this region must be preserved at all costs ❤️❤️❤️❤️ this region lent so much to my education in so many ways!!

Try raising mix raced kids out there and dealing with the racism, MAGA, confederate worship, lack of school resources and poor medical care. Lets keep it real, you can take off the rose colored glasses and it is still beautiful out there. I have hiked hunted foraged and lived out there before the naysayers come running at my comments.

Will the road between Whitetop and Damascus ever be repaired from it's destruction from Hurricane Helene? Beautiful area.

I grew up in Scott and Wise counties, fishing the clinch, and the Stony creeks. Hunting and running the hills of High Knob. Exploring some amazing caves. Wouldn't trade it for anyplace else in the world.

I'm within a few miles of Burkes Garden and am in love with the natural beauty of this area. There's some really excellent motorcycle riding among the curvy roads, elevation changes, and lack of traffic. Great hiking. Inexpensive CoL. Friendly people. And best of all, freedom and *peace*. This is one of THE BEST places to live during certain world events that tend to stress people out in more urban environments - especially when any form of social distancing is involved, or buildings are being burned, or stores are plagued with theft and public transit with violence, etc. Also loved seeing all those birds in the video! I've become quite attached to the ones near our home over the past three or so years after taking a greater interest in crows (thanks UA-cam). Now I have a family of seven or so crows that stops by every day for peanuts and treats...which got the Blue Jays coming for peanuts too...which caught the attention of a few dozen titmice, various woodpeckers, chickadees, cardinals, finches, mockingbirds, etc...hahaha and now several of those lil guys are friendly with us, and a few will even take treats directly from hand. Between the birds, deer, squirrels etc. it's like being in Disney's "Bambi" just going outside sometimes lol. And bald eagles are incredible!

Yeah we get hit with 13°F frozen rain, feet of snow, no decent growing season for preserving food. No jobs, with the eastern fault line, the madrid fault. Taxes too high & insurances climbing

On June 13, 1936, Gov. George C. Peery, a native of Cedar Bluff in Tazewell County, presided over the official opening ceremony for the Virginia State Parks System. The ceremony was held at Hungry Mother State Park in Marion, Va. Thousands of Virginians attended the celebration. Two days later, the system’s first six state parks opened to the public.

Beauty is everywhere. All you gotta do is look.

Love SW Virginia except that it’s in tax lover heaven VA. Before the democrats took over northern VA and Richmond you had reasonable laws and affordable taxes. Sadly those days are gone

I love VA, but not the taxation. Personal property tax is the #1 reason I choose not to live there. Otherwise, SWVA is an outstanding place and the people are God's people, very nice and down to earth. If you're ever passing through Arrington, VA be sure to stop and eat at Ann's Restaurant. Home cooking that will definitely stick to your ribs! Mmmm Mmmm GOOD!

Very nice video!

Hell yeah

I live in South West Virginia born and raised here in Abingdon. I have been many places but no place like home

I live on a farm in the middle of cattle country in SW Virginia. I lived most of my life in So California suburbs and moved to SW Virginia about 10 years ago. This farm has been in my wife's family for 3 generations now. I would NEVER go back to California.

And don't forget all the rednecks that live here.😂😂😂😂

Burkes Garden is a natural marvel that no one talks about. Great video.

Southwest Virginia must be more remote than Alaska... I had no idea it was a state.

Power outages, dangerous roads, no internet, less cell service, just know, you must give up a lot of modern convenience to live out here with bears, wild cats, and copperheads, and unpredictable weather. But it's a last natural beauty.

Fairly good job of describing SWVA!! I was born 72yr ago in Galax, Va. Now live for past 21 yr outside Radford, Va., alongside the ORIGINAL WIDERNESS TRAIL, where, 4 million yrs ago, was a soupy swamp( shale rock/confirmation) I am familiar/most likely have traveled, locally, most roads from Roanoke to beyond Wytheville, Va. & Bluefield to Mt Airy,N.C. As a long time driver/explorer I have traveled west to Montana/South to Georgia/north to New York/east to Atlantic ocean. Saw no other place that I would rather be than SWVA. I have hunted/fished/enjoyed outdoors all my life, because it is abundant here. We have both native/stocked trout, Red-eye/Bluegill on up to bass/ Striper/ Muskie. White-tail deer/Black bear( even cougar; DO NOT BELIEVE OFFICIAL DWR B.S.) We had natural elk until 1959/now re-introduced. We had bison( buffalo) @ Big Lick( Roanoke, Va) We have Fowl/Fauna/ and crawlies too numerous for me to name here. In short, SWVA is simply, PARADISE, IMO.

If you travel I-81 in western Virginia you pass through 5 entirely separate watersheds. (1) Augusta County and north: drains north into Shenandoah River which drains into Potomac and into upper Chesapeake Bay. (2) Rockbridge and Botetourt Counties: drains into Maury and James which drains southeast into lower Chesapeake Bay. (3) Roanoke Valley: Roanoke River drains southeast into Albemarle Sound in North Carolina and into Atlantic Ocean. (4) New River Valley: New River drains north to meet Gauley and form Kanawha River and then into Ohio River west of Charleston, W. Va., and eventually into Gulf of Mexico. (5) Far Southwest: Clinch and Holston meet and join French Broad near Knoxville to form Tennessee River which drains west into Ohio River at Paducah, Kentucky. not far from Mississippi River and then into Gulf of Mexico.

Va getting dark

It's too cold here!

So informative- well done!

Virginia is beautiful. I was in Shenandoah Valley a few months ago and traveled to Williamsville in Bath county to find my great grandparents graves. I want to return as we are considering moving to the state.

Apologize if you mentioned this...The "New River" is one of the oldest in the world, arguably the second oldest. I grew up in NVA not horribly far. I'm in the Chesapeake Bay water shed and it's strange to me that the New River is part of the Mississippi water shed.

Grew up in eastern Virginia. Lived in SW VA ( Wise County) since 1982. Have loved every minute of it.

O knows many wonderful natural area s I don't tell people about y own retreat private retreat even on public land

Thank you for this informative and enjoyable video,

Coming from WV, where do I get camping and fishing in formation on the area?

You don't want to live here. We've got tons of bears, skunks, coyotes, racoons the size of cocker spanials, and very mean hawks! So many people own cattle. Can you imagine all that methane gas you'd be inhaling?🤣 Oh! Our deer are vicious too! They stand in the road, daring you to hit them. It's not safe here! 😉

I live in Virginia and I love it.. I have seen some of the most beautiful land on earth and I'll probably never leave.

At least your pronounced Appalachia correctly. Was one of the last great places on earth. Till you post it on YT. Now a bunch of locusts will move in buy it all up and destroy it. We don't want your advertisement, we don't want you or no one else telling us how to live. This place is like this because of the absence of people like you. Leave the land alone, leave us alone.

i live in south west virginia......

Some people are really stupid. This is the kind of guy who ruins anywhere nice by blabbing about it. Must be an outsider.

You will also find plenty of feral people. Good luck with that.

I love the rural areas of Virginia - beautiful state.

I grew up in Scott County and have lived in the region for almost 60 years, yet I had never heard of the Omega cave system until I saw this video.
