I loved meeting you guys and getting to spend a few awesome days going around the area I care so much about! Thank you for everything!!! You all are sososo caring and amazing! Yes Theory fan for life
Kate! Can't describe how lucky we felt meeting you and having you as our spontaneous guide. So many great memories and clearly from the comments everyone loves you singing!! Can't wait for the album :)
This was truly one of those “let’s see how this goes” type of episodes. No plan and this time not even any service/internet the whole time to contact anyone.. We just aimed to arrive with the most open energy and some intentions of what we were seeking and somehow everything just lined up in ways that confused even us. Blessed to have met Kate, Daphna and Jay Lockman who all blew us away with their kindness and stories. We hope you all enjoyed the adventure as much as we did 🙏
yea but you can get tesla internet and put it on a tree! they have cellphone and internet blockers! if you look in any state govt office they have the same things!
my neighbor owns a whole satelight in space! I sware too god he rents it too verizon and cell companies! he was so rich he had a private italian chef flew in... but he died of eating like too much truffle butter and stuff heart attack! he had a RR phatom 3 months before it came out~! in the 90s i beleive
Tasmanian here. My father once worked for/with Grote Reber. He came here to Tas to get as far away from low frequency radio waves as possible…(stuff below 30MHz)…where the ionosphere was reflective. On very long, cold winter noghts the ionodphere would neutralize eniugh for him to “see out” at 1MHz. (AM radio band frequency). His Telescope was a phased affay of dipoles, phasing allower for N-S beam directing and for E-W directing he just used the Earth’s rotation. This was all at Denouston, a sheep grazing property just north east of Bothwell, where Grote had built his Passive Solar House. All his gear ran from batteries and the older stiff used 1 volt valves, 1T4’s and the like. He showed me the head amp from his first dish from Illnois, it was sll point to point and had two 955 acorn valves in it. At Denouston, he used sodium tetraborate around the bases of the poles of his phased array to keep the insects and other lifeforma from rotting them off st ground level. The statement in the video about “cow poo and low noise amps” was also very evident at Grote’s site. Later, when I was at Uni, we had to buy this text book for Astronomy, think the suthor was Abell, and had a pucture of Centarus A on the cover I recall….after I got it, i just opened in randomly in the middle…as you do…and there was a pictire of Grote as a chapter heading….I knew where he had sn office, sbout 2Km away, so I took the book there to show him. When he saw the pucture in the book, he said in his mild Illinois accent, “Oh yeah, this one was in 1962!” And he signed his name across it and put the date of the pucture on it….I had not asked him to do this, he just did it of his own volition. That book is now a treasured possession now he has been passed these 22 years. Could tell loads of stories about him, like the time he burned my mothers apple slice, or “buried” my brother in sacks of sodium tetraborate…but that’t for another day. Jay Lockman has many similar personality trats to Grote, “they know thsy are ‘famous’ but they downply it to the maxx” and a really humble, logical and polite and have lots of diverse interests….like the Messherschmidt three wheeler car in his bathroom! I’m really glad i knew Grote reber, pity more of the modern generation don’t know of him and use him as a role model….the worl would be a far better place.
@@lucaslangen3059I got goosebumps too! My favorite kind of singer/musician is the kind that can give me goosebumps and surpasses a strictly auditorial experience. I want to feel the music, and she certainly delivered that!
Living in Appalachia I kind of laughed when you were shocked about towns being 50 minutes apart. People in Appalachia are generally so kind and welcoming. It was amazing seeing your journey.
I moved to the Shenandoah valley from Washington DC years ago and the biggest adjustment was all the stores were at least a half hour away . I’m used to it now and wouldn’t trade it for anything
Kate embodies all the truly beautiful things about Appalachia. Wear your heart on your sleeve, be open and caring and treat everyone like your own. I wish nothing but the best for her
As an old man it's amazing how small decisions in your life change your life entirely. When I was 19, with no money, I decided to go around the world! It happened and changed my life.
Kate, Please start a UA-cam and share your music. I was born and raised in the mountains but had to leave for family reasons. Any one who was knows that once you have the mountains in you they never leave even though we do. Listening to your song brought back so many memories for me. I beg you to share you voice with the world. I turned 65 on the 1st. of November and you put love in my heart that I hadn't felt for some time. Thank You. May God bless you in all you do.
It would be problematic, but not impossible, to open up her own channel ,considering there is no cellular or WI-FI signal getting to the area . Of course ,now that Elon Musk has provided his Starlink satellite system to the people who have been impacted by the hurricane . I don't know if the signal can be picked up in West Virginia, but I'm really hoping it can . The people in that region ,whether directly or indirectly ,need our help ,and our prayers . Think about what it would be like to have a massive weather event ,destroy not only your home ,and your community ,but also destroy all of the cities around your's ,as well as the infrastructure (roads ,bridges ,electricity, etc . . .
@@johnrajtar9829 she lives outside of the quiet zone. remember in the video, when they met her, they said this is the last town before the quiet zone? she has internet.
Not from the quiet zone but West Virginia native here. Left the area for job opportunity but still visit family there often. Thank you for showcasing our little slice of heaven. The part where you guys are looking out over the mountains just struck a cord with me and reminds me how beautiful that state is. Will always be a fan of your content and positivity. God bless!
I can't beleive Yes Theory came to Appalachia. I've lived in these mountains my whole life and we tend to get a lot of stereotypes put on us, like being poor and uneducated. So it really warms my heart to see you guys show the real side of Appalachians.
We heard about the stereotypes before going and it was even a person who “warned” us. What we met was truly something special. We can’t wait to be back 🫶
@@JakkeJakobsen It's weird watching people within geographical deadzones complain about people outside those deadzones. They're entirely unaware of the world around them, and why people think what they think about them. Theres a reason why a lot of those states vote a certain way, and it's because of the geography and what they're exposed to. They know what they know, so they think they're educated and informed; while remaining blissfully ignorant of everything else.
@@Tazytotsimagine having the audacity to respond to someone’s UA-cam comment basically telling them they are dumb and come from a land surrounded by dumb people who are ignorant and don’t know what is good for them in elections, etc. In terms of thoughts to keep to yourself, that’s right near the top.
Watching this, my husband and I couldn’t stop saying “Wow this looks so much like Northern Ireland!” (Where we live) and the music that she sang sounds SO Irish. With a little deep diving, we discovered that the Appalachian mountain range used to be connected to Scotland, Ireland and Wales before Pangea split up and when settlers from the above moved to America, they especially liked it there because it looked so much like home hence the Celtic music influence. Mind blown 🤯
100%! American Music history is fascinating. I took a couple classes on it in college just for fun and they were easily my favorite. So many emotions and stories passed down through music.
I'm from here and never really made this connection... I've looked at pictures, always wanted to travel to Ireland, given my last name is Irish. And I always thought it looked like here, but this just confirms it for me, thank you!
It really does look like home to us Welsh, Irish and Scottish doesn't it 😊. I live in Finland now and it's so flat, I miss the mountains and valleys and the rugged undulating countryside expanses
I live just a couple miles away in WV. This feature of our beautiful state and the beautiful and kind culture brought tears to my eyes. I also had no idea you could go visit the Green Bank Observatory. I'm so stunned and thrilled! Thanks for coming and visiting!
it really calls back to the origins of the people of appalacia... the whole area was originally colonized by Irish and Scottish immigrants during our country's founding and that style of music is a quintessential part of Irish and Scottish culture. The people in the area are usually DIRECT descendants of the original settlers so its basically a direct lineage back to the homeland.
Videos like this really makes me envious, in a positive manner. Inspiring, might be more the proper unloaded term to use. I wish sometimes I could travel as much as the people of this channel do, experiencing the most unknown, remote, or unique places around our planet earth. Having studied for 6-7 years in a row (bachelor's, master's, burnout) and now experiencing my worst economic situation ever due to 5 months unemployment and failing to find a job in my field of expertise, watching videos like this just makes me dream for better times. Keep on doing fascinating and inspiring content
we hear you, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Challenging economic times are no fun and can take us down a dark place, so we hope you try to take best care of yourself as you keep some momentum in the search for a path forward, sending love and strength your way /thomas
Kate is as a mystery in the mountains! A wonderful voice you can hear from far away and her beauty which spreads through the mountain rivers. Her hair which shines in the sun and blinds you a little bit but always just a little to far to reach! A great energy and good vibes, keep on the good vibes with the songs. And for everyone don't forget to spread a little love, we all need it! ❤️
@@loosiluThanks for that, I appreciate that! I do write quite a lot when my brain is tickling because all the impression around me. It gives me the feeling that I can be free without any limitations.
You know, a funny moment was when Kate had to take a breather and walk away for a second after not understanding how we could get so lucky to find everything we were looking for 😆 Both Staffan and were amazed but having someone experience it for the first time next to us also made us realize like “what the heck is going on!” Despite having had that serendipity happen before, it’s always wonderful when we encounter it again, and will always he grateful for it! 🙏
@@YesTheory These things will always be happening to you because of your open positive mindset. Thoughts LITERALLY programme experience in this simulation !
I believe theres a lot of cut footage that is not all that perfect and appropriate. That goes for every youtuber, influencer, which makes people think that everything these people do is perfect. But they’re just humans too.
Kate is absolutely stunnng! She looked like a red headed Snow White watching the sunset at around the 24:00ish and her voice was amazing. I wish her the best luck! I wish there could be a fairytale update on her!!!!! (Time stamp was 24:22 and on) and that was so kind to gift her the mic to give her a boost to help her out. You three made a great video and had a great connection with her. She made the video have such a splash of sincerity and a hometown feel that without her it would not have been the same. Way to go guys to being such great people and video makers.
Of course you all would go to my hometown and literally meet the group of people that formed my childhood. Many nights were spent in that house doing exactly that with the Lockmans and everyone else. Seeing my friends parents in a yes theory video is pretty wild. Sad I wasn’t there to meet you all but honestly you met the best group of people you could have hoped for.
I absolutely love when you guys stumble upon subscribers in the middle of nowhere. I think this video is definitely in my top three all time for you guys. Kate was fantastic (and what a voice!), the locals were friendly, the landscape was stunning... Just so cool. Thank you guys for this one.
This was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Not even exaggerating. The old fashioned way of meeting people, the realness of the people. Man, this is just so very cool!
Being a West Virginian my whole life, every time I see a big UA-camr making cool and positive content in our misunderstood state, my heart gets so so happy! Thank you for visiting these mountains❤️
I just wished they teamed him up with the Belarusian girl from the Belarus video. They seemed to be twins, such a perfect connection lol wished she was incorporated in the team and joining many adventures with Steffan

@@aubsdoodle3048 Please make voice heard - send letter to editor at Pocahontas times, etc - Homeland secuirty is pushing hard to get coverage there. It's a national treasure we NEED to preserve! ?Once it's gone, it's gone for gooD!
I haven't watch Yes Theory in years, and I came back to this episode and something about was special. Seems like such a special place with special people. Well done capturing life in the quiet zone.
I've watched your videos from the very early days and it's stories like these that keeps me coming back. It's unbelievable how, no matter where you go, you just stumble upon people that help you tell an amazing story. It reminds us that there is more good and positivity in this world than we might think.
I worked for a company that did maintenance for the Green Bank Telescope. Me and like 4 other guys went down for a week and stayed in a house like 10 minutes away from the telescope. I even got to go up and walk out onto the dish, was a truly unique experience. Great video showing off this cool area for more people to learn about!
That incredible band you met is Juanita Fireball and the Continental Drifters! It’s my friend Jonny’s parents and their friends. They’re not just any Appalachian Old Time band, but truly one of the most beloved old time bands in the region. I’ve been to many late night porch pickin’ sessions with them, and their son is the one who taught me how to play old time clawhammer banjo (the unique style of banjo playing they’re using)❤
This video made me feel the full spectrum of emotion. From hearing Kate’s spine tinglingly beautiful voice in that church, being able to view the quaint epic landscapes of the Appalachian mountains, the sense of community in a seemingly “disconnected” place, the sheer scale of that telescope, the knowledge of the universe gifted to us from Lockman, the confusing yet eye opening conversation with somebody who suffers with electromagnetic hypersensitivity and finally new friends creating music together and forming connections. Was honestly so amazing and made my evening. Thank you once again guys for such an educational and entertaining video! YT for life!
As someone who has grown up within an hour of this area, I moved away after college and quickly moved back. It's great to see the history and culture being shown. Yew Theory was beyond respectful and genuinely excited. I'm now a ultra marathon runner who loves running this area. There's nothing like being disconnected from everything. Thanks for the video!

We had a camp basically across the street, maybe a a mile a way, from the observatory. I literally jumped out of my seat when I saw Mike Burns and his wife at the end of the video. He was playing fiddle with the WVU hat on. He was my stepmoms cousin and I have many great memories visiting them at their house and him and his brother playing guitar and singing at the family reunions at North Bend State Park. My past and one of my favorite UA-cam channels just collided. Thank you!

@@patrickthebaptist-sharingt428 yes I understand about RF but wasn't sure how they could be there, have missed them and post to YT, which is on the internet obviously. Must of just moved away to be solemn over missing them I suspect, internet is a powerful magnet!
Kate sings so well, i hope all her dreams come true, the sound is remarkable, also tomas and steffan you both are pretty great and respectful, take care my friends.
This was so wholesome! The way things fall into place for you guys, and often for the new friends you meet along the way, never ceases to amaze me. This is what it looks like to choose love over fear, adventure over isolationism, and YES over no. I always take at least one thing away from your videos that I can improve about the way I live and love, and I have so much gratitude for the opportunity that you provide to recognize how I can do a little better with each passing day. Kate is such a uniquely delightful person and talented singer - I hope she continues to follow her dream and shine her light everywhere she goes. The YES family really is a special group of people.
as a long-time fan, almost from the beginning, you guys never fail to leave me perpetually in awe of the riveting new content you constantly unveil on us. you're only gaining steam, moving only forward and up, and it's incredible to witness and to get to come along for the ride, even if only vicariously. this became an all-time favourite episode for me instantly!
I love how respectful and kind you guys are. People like this are welcome literally anywhere on earth because its so universally recognized and appreciated. This was an awesome video!

I have used UA-cam for years and not sure how I missed you guys but I did. For the last two days my family and I have been binging your content. These vids have so much heart and are nothing but inspirational!
I have been driving through this township for over 5+ years and had no clue about the quiet zone in the surrounding area. I always travel through to go to Snowshoe resort, now that I think about it the 2 hours of no service makes sense. Love the video
Been going to snowshoe for close to 25 years. Even when cell phones came out there was no service on the mountain. It’s been only recently…maybe the last 7-8 years where they put up small cell towers around the snowshoe village.
Wow, this was the first video I've seen of yours. I really enjoyed how genuine and open minded you were about learning and participating in this community, especially as someone from outside of the U.S. I think the disposable film camera shots were my favorite part. And I loved the parallel you drew of the scientist exploring our world's future and the distant galaxies by day, and preserving America's past through music by night. I wouldn't have thought of that on my own.
This actually made me cry. I love the energy there and the way you guys helped her achieve her ambition. The beauty and the people are so open. How lovely.
I live in Appalachians in VA, and growing up I was introduced to a couple who lived way back in middle of nowhere off the grid, he made his own solar, and batteries, water, everything was self sufficient, the had hundreds of satellite dishes everywhere though, in trees, ground, top of buildings. Inside his house he had a large office that had computers and screens wrapped around, and flow charts all over the walls, boxes of printed paper codes, he was actually one of the pioneers of the computer age, and invented certain types of coding, and this was in the 90s at the dawn of the Internet, he wrote most codes for Microsoft, and would send it via sat to whoever, he did walk me through what he did, and it was over my head mostly, and I was in college for Information systems technology, so he had been a computer prodigy from the 70s, and had all the technology, sat phone, and things in mid late 90s. I'm thinking that lots of brilliant ppl live like that in these so called quiet zones
Ok I never expected to see a YES Theory video in Appalachia! I live so close to here!!! That quiet zone is awesome for an outdoors vacation. You can rent a cabin and just disconnect for a week.
@@davidharris9092 Nope, you can disconnect anywhere, I do it when I go away for a weekend or more. I don't need to drive to area with radio silence to achieve that. I live a few hours drive away from a SKA location which also has radio silence, I'm not gonna drive there to disconnect when I can simply turn my phone off.

I work for a company and we organise self-drive tours through Namibia and Botswana. In the routes we plan there are many places without any internet connection. Last year i went on a educational tour and that disconnection is exactly like he said. You take a while but then realise there is no connection so you start connecting with the world around you. Truly a amazing experience!

I don’t think there’s a channel like yes theory, been watching their videos for almost 5 years now and all I have to say is their content is so wholesome and I always learn something new thru their videos. Please continue to create such content. Loads of love and respect
Big fan. people like yall really give inspiration and hope to the others. You not only have the story but the message as well which will stay on the internet hopefully forever. And people after 100's of years will watch this and get inspired to seek more
This is epitome of why I watch Yes Theory. Experiences that are interesting and delightful and that reaffirm the notion of the best of us are ordinary and extraordinary people are the same and we all contain multitudes. Fantastic job guys.
This was one of the best, if not the best, video you guys have ever made. The whole theme was just amazing. We moved this year from the city to a tiny village and it is so lovely. No noise, fresh air, a garden.
Kate reminds me so much of Julia from Belarus! two amazing young women taking so much pride in their communities, their culture, and their passions. they both have such loving kind energy
As someone who lives in the Appalachians that are part of Pennsylvania, it's always great to see people come to the area and appreciate the culture and music. It's cool that you were able to experience the quiet zone. Hopefully you'll get an opportunity to explore the other areas of Appalachia as well.
Very interesting expose on the GBT by visitors from Sweden. I worked on the GBT project producing the azimuth and elevation positioning gear drives. I have always been fascinated by the GBT and proud to have been a part the project.
I love that you guys are exploring parts of America, and the East Coast region... there is so much history, culture, and natural beauty there. As someone who has lived around the world and all over the US from coast to coast, and who currently lives in the Appalachian foothills, it is an underappreciated part of America with so much to experience.
Another video that simply blows me away- and Kate seems awesome. Life might be what we make of it, but looking at how small we all are at a cosmic scale makes you think about how each decision we all make still affects everything else. It’s mind blowing Thank you
First time seeing your channel. This is a very interesting video. I worked for a company in 2015 that managed telecom technicians in the Virginia / DC area. Some of the work was in the area where you visited. Being able to communicate with these techs was problematic at times due to the zones. There are others besides the one in West Virginia where communication is very difficult, especially near the NSA / DOD facilities. Really enjoyed this! Well done guys! Meeting Kate and having her along with you guys was a great piece of this story about the people in the area.
Great timing releasing this video as someone that lives in the UK all the news we are getting from America at the moment is political and about how divided the country is. This really shows the human side especially of rural America as I feel we only hear from certain types of people in places like West Virginia. Loved hearing music we never really hear and hope Kate follows her musical passions. Really enjoyed this video and probably one of my favourites you’ve made.
My mother was born in 1911..and later became became a nurse midwife ..graduating from the Frontier Nursing School. She rode horseback to rural Kentucky to deliver babies..educate mothers..etc..She then took a leap of faith ..and went on board ship in 1930 to Africa. Ended up working in S. Sudan as a nurse/midwife. ..her memories were amazing ..loved Kentucky!
as someone who lives in eastern Tennessee Appalachia mountains, I absolutely love this video.. Kate’s voice is so beautiful! I’ll always love that I can go 20 minutes down the road into these mountains and have no signal, it’s so relaxing to have a day and not have to worry about what is going on online or who’s calling. Thank you for this beautiful episode🫶🏻
I'm 99% sure I've ran into Kate before. My friends and I had gone caving in the area and decided to eat at Highs in Monterey afterwards. On the way out, we passed someone who looks exactly like her loading stuff into a car and we exchanged hellos as we walked past - she seemed super sweet. Such a small world we live in!
@@roboticdart6138 Nope, we were poking around Sharps which is near Snowshoe. Although funny you say that, I was actually just at Hamilton this past Saturday - that place was incredibly confusing haha. Conquered the airblower too!
This is wild to say because of how many great videos Yes Theory has made, but this may be their best ever. It's certainly their best in the new era of YT. Bravo
It warms my heart to see that a long time subscriber was able to hang out with you guys! Such a cool video. We drove through West Virginia after evacuating from NC when Hurricane Helene happened 😔 but it is such a beautiful state! ❤️ ⛰️⛰️Appalachia strong!!! ⛰️⛰️
This whole piece is astonishing, I think by far your best work. And the people featured are all remarkable, starting with your talented guide, Kate, her boss, the town folk and the lead scientist. I live in Wales and I feel that the Appalachians are similarly discarded when it comes to natural beauty and people quality.
I loved meeting you guys and getting to spend a few awesome days going around the area I care so much about! Thank you for everything!!! You all are sososo caring and amazing! Yes Theory fan for life
Kate! Can't describe how lucky we felt meeting you and having you as our spontaneous guide. So many great memories and clearly from the comments everyone loves you singing!! Can't wait for the album :)
You’re so incredibly talented!
Follow your dreams.
your singing was otherworldly! hope you follow up on your dreams and publish an album
I think we should all subscribe to her to show her how much we loved her music.
Your voice is absolutely beautiful! It’s such a pleasure to listen to, thanks for sharing it with us!
Shoutout to Kate’s boss!! That woman gives me such great momma bear vibes. So nice of her to let Kate off work 🫶🏻
sht up you goofy ahh sounding bru
An incredible woman! We had great chats with her off-camera as well. If anyone swings by Virginia make sure to visit her place (Monterey Inn)
Well said ❤
i mean shout out to kate too, she was awesome
I've only gotten to like 5 and a half minutes in but I already love both of those ladies so much. They are just so warm and welcoming.

Come visit me in Farmville, VA. I've got plenty to talk about from history from Jamestown all the way up to now. I would love to host Yes theory!

Born and raised I WV my entire 45 yrs. Kate sings so perfectly. Irish/Appalachia. Made me teary-eyed. Great episode. TY for visiting my home.
💯🇺🇸🫡
The Scots Irish are everywhere 👍🏻
On the off chance that Kate sees this, your voice is absolutely stunning. The guys were blessed to have you as their guide.

as an astrophysics major, when he said his name was Jay Lockman, my jaw literally dropped, you guys met someone who I could only ever dream of meeting
Why only dream of it? 🤔
Looks like you just need to hang around the parking lot to meet him!
doesn't look like its very hard to meet him and he seems quite friendly haha. make that dream come true XD

That book is now a treasured possession now he has been passed these 22 years. Could tell loads of stories about him, like the time he burned my mothers apple slice, or “buried” my brother in sacks of sodium tetraborate…but that’t for another day.
Jay Lockman has many similar personality trats to Grote, “they know thsy are ‘famous’ but they downply it to the maxx” and a really humble, logical and polite and have lots of diverse interests….like the Messherschmidt three wheeler car in his bathroom! I’m really glad i knew Grote reber, pity more of the modern generation don’t know of him and use him as a role model….the worl would be a far better place.
For being thrown on the spot, and a little nervous, she did a great little song,
that vibrato is so out of what im used to, gave me goosebumps!
I would listen to that again for sure
@@lucaslangen3059 gave me goosebumps aswell
@@lucaslangen3059I got goosebumps too! My favorite kind of singer/musician is the kind that can give me goosebumps and surpasses a strictly auditorial experience. I want to feel the music, and she certainly delivered that!

I moved to the Shenandoah valley from Washington DC years ago and the biggest adjustment was all the stores were at least a half hour away . I’m used to it now and wouldn’t trade it for anything
Kate embodies all the truly beautiful things about Appalachia. Wear your heart on your sleeve, be open and caring and treat everyone like your own. I wish nothing but the best for her
As an old man it's amazing how small decisions in your life change your life entirely. When I was 19, with no money, I decided to go around the world! It happened and changed my life.
I love her braid
So Mote It Be! Kate experiences lifelong success
Because Kate said "yes," her musical career might take off in ways she might never even imagined. That's what I love about these videos!
Bad boy records is looking at this video close
Where can we find Kate's music online?

Kate, Please start a UA-cam and share your music. I was born and raised in the mountains but had to leave for family reasons. Any one who was knows that once you have the mountains in you they never leave even though we do. Listening to your song brought back so many memories for me. I beg you to share you voice with the world. I turned 65 on the 1st. of November and you put love in my heart that I hadn't felt for some time. Thank You. May God bless you in all you do.

It would be problematic, but not impossible, to open up her own channel ,considering there is no cellular or WI-FI signal getting to the area . Of course ,now that Elon Musk has provided his Starlink satellite system to the people who have been impacted by the hurricane . I don't know if the signal can be picked up in West Virginia, but I'm really hoping it can . The people in that region ,whether directly or indirectly ,need our help ,and our prayers . Think about what it would be like to have a massive weather event ,destroy not only your home ,and your community ,but also destroy all of the cities around your's ,as well as the infrastructure (roads ,bridges ,electricity, etc . . .
@@johnrajtar9829 she lives outside of the quiet zone. remember in the video, when they met her, they said this is the last town before the quiet zone? she has internet.
Not from the quiet zone but West Virginia native here. Left the area for job opportunity but still visit family there often. Thank you for showcasing our little slice of heaven. The part where you guys are looking out over the mountains just struck a cord with me and reminds me how beautiful that state is. Will always be a fan of your content and positivity. God bless!
This is my introductory video to this channel and i was blown away. i couldn't stop smiling. absolutely love these kind of videos!
So happy to have you here. Next Sunday a new video is coming! :)

They got some hidden gems on the page .. def recommend some of the older videos too
Yes Theory is binge worthy in every episode.
I can't beleive Yes Theory came to Appalachia. I've lived in these mountains my whole life and we tend to get a lot of stereotypes put on us, like being poor and uneducated. So it really warms my heart to see you guys show the real side of Appalachians.
They're showing uneducated people, I'm still waiting for peer reviewed research on "electro sensitivity".
We heard about the stereotypes before going and it was even a person who “warned” us. What we met was truly something special. We can’t wait to be back 🫶
@@JakkeJakobsen It's weird watching people within geographical deadzones complain about people outside those deadzones. They're entirely unaware of the world around them, and why people think what they think about them. Theres a reason why a lot of those states vote a certain way, and it's because of the geography and what they're exposed to. They know what they know, so they think they're educated and informed; while remaining blissfully ignorant of everything else.
@@Tazytotsimagine having the audacity to respond to someone’s UA-cam comment basically telling them they are dumb and come from a land surrounded by dumb people who are ignorant and don’t know what is good for them in elections, etc. In terms of thoughts to keep to yourself, that’s right near the top.
If anything this perpetrated my beliefs on you guys being uneducated and living up to stereotypes because you guys absolutely are 😂
Watching this, my husband and I couldn’t stop saying “Wow this looks so much like Northern Ireland!” (Where we live) and the music that she sang sounds SO Irish. With a little deep diving, we discovered that the Appalachian mountain range used to be connected to Scotland, Ireland and Wales before Pangea split up and when settlers from the above moved to America, they especially liked it there because it looked so much like home hence the Celtic music influence. Mind blown 🤯
100%! American Music history is fascinating. I took a couple classes on it in college just for fun and they were easily my favorite. So many emotions and stories passed down through music.
thanks for sharing this comment! absolutely mind-opening!
I'm from here and never really made this connection... I've looked at pictures, always wanted to travel to Ireland, given my last name is Irish. And I always thought it looked like here, but this just confirms it for me, thank you!
Thank you for sharing this because I was wondering why her singing sounded like it had Irish influence
It really does look like home to us Welsh, Irish and Scottish doesn't it 😊. I live in Finland now and it's so flat, I miss the mountains and valleys and the rugged undulating countryside expanses
I live just a couple miles away in WV. This feature of our beautiful state and the beautiful and kind culture brought tears to my eyes. I also had no idea you could go visit the Green Bank Observatory. I'm so stunned and thrilled! Thanks for coming and visiting!
Where/what is the last hotel/inn they stayed in?
Kate's singing over the B-role legit gave me goosebumps. That's some talent. She was as great addition to this video!
that started out as an addition but she definitely turned it into an audition !
Goosebumps also! Amazing
she's right, though. That's mountain music. It all sounds that good and full of soul :>
"You get her into any trouble, I will kick your ass" . No minced words. I love her.
Kate's vocal style is so unique and powerful: I had constant chills the whole time she was singing!
COvering Jean Ritchie's Barbra Allen, does a great job!
She sounds like Valerie June!
Sir, this is a no simp zone.
it really calls back to the origins of the people of appalacia... the whole area was originally colonized by Irish and Scottish immigrants during our country's founding and that style of music is a quintessential part of Irish and Scottish culture. The people in the area are usually DIRECT descendants of the original settlers so its basically a direct lineage back to the homeland.
Videos like this really makes me envious, in a positive manner. Inspiring, might be more the proper unloaded term to use. I wish sometimes I could travel as much as the people of this channel do, experiencing the most unknown, remote, or unique places around our planet earth. Having studied for 6-7 years in a row (bachelor's, master's, burnout) and now experiencing my worst economic situation ever due to 5 months unemployment and failing to find a job in my field of expertise, watching videos like this just makes me dream for better times. Keep on doing fascinating and inspiring content
we hear you, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Challenging economic times are no fun and can take us down a dark place, so we hope you try to take best care of yourself as you keep some momentum in the search for a path forward, sending love and strength your way /thomas
My dog just reacted to Kate's singing!! he became aware of the sound and started howling. So beautiful!!!
🧢
🤨
Kate is as a mystery in the mountains! A wonderful voice you can hear from far away and her beauty which spreads through the mountain rivers. Her hair which shines in the sun and blinds you a little bit but always just a little to far to reach! A great energy and good vibes, keep on the good vibes with the songs. And for everyone don't forget to spread a little love, we all need it! ❤️
You should be writing songs yourself!
@@loosiluThanks for that, I appreciate that! I do write quite a lot when my brain is tickling because all the impression around me. It gives me the feeling that I can be free without any limitations.
Eek u gucci lol😅
It seems so unreal that you always meet these amazing and appropriate people, but you put that energy out there and the universe rewards you.
You know, a funny moment was when Kate had to take a breather and walk away for a second after not understanding how we could get so lucky to find everything we were looking for 😆 Both Staffan and were amazed but having someone experience it for the first time next to us also made us realize like “what the heck is going on!” Despite having had that serendipity happen before, it’s always wonderful when we encounter it again, and will always he grateful for it! 🙏
That was an amazing video 🤯😱
@@YesTheory These things will always be happening to you because of your open positive mindset. Thoughts LITERALLY programme experience in this simulation !
I believe theres a lot of cut footage that is not all that perfect and appropriate. That goes for every youtuber, influencer, which makes people think that everything these people do is perfect. But they’re just humans too.
Kate is absolutely stunnng! She looked like a red headed Snow White watching the sunset at around the 24:00ish and her voice was amazing. I wish her the best luck! I wish there could be a fairytale update on her!!!!! (Time stamp was 24:22 and on) and that was so kind to gift her the mic to give her a boost to help her out. You three made a great video and had a great connection with her. She made the video have such a splash of sincerity and a hometown feel that without her it would not have been the same. Way to go guys to being such great people and video makers.
Of course you all would go to my hometown and literally meet the group of people that formed my childhood. Many nights were spent in that house doing exactly that with the Lockmans and everyone else. Seeing my friends parents in a yes theory video is pretty wild. Sad I wasn’t there to meet you all but honestly you met the best group of people you could have hoped for.
I absolutely love when you guys stumble upon subscribers in the middle of nowhere. I think this video is definitely in my top three all time for you guys. Kate was fantastic (and what a voice!), the locals were friendly, the landscape was stunning... Just so cool. Thank you guys for this one.
Agree! Top one for me on many levels…❤
Her singing was beautiful
This was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Not even exaggerating.
The old fashioned way of meeting people, the realness of the people. Man, this is just so very cool!
Being a West Virginian my whole life, every time I see a big UA-camr making cool and positive content in our misunderstood state, my heart gets so so happy! Thank you for visiting these mountains❤️

i started tearing up
It doesn't matter what the video is, I always have tears in my eyes at the reminder your videos give me that humans are wholesome and beautiful.
I haven't watch Yes Theory in years, and I came back to this episode and something about was special. Seems like such a special place with special people. Well done capturing life in the quiet zone.
I've watched your videos from the very early days and it's stories like these that keeps me coming back. It's unbelievable how, no matter where you go, you just stumble upon people that help you tell an amazing story. It reminds us that there is more good and positivity in this world than we might think.
There is more good than bad. We only see the bad
I worked for a company that did maintenance for the Green Bank Telescope. Me and like 4 other guys went down for a week and stayed in a house like 10 minutes away from the telescope. I even got to go up and walk out onto the dish, was a truly unique experience. Great video showing off this cool area for more people to learn about!
That incredible band you met is Juanita Fireball and the Continental Drifters! It’s my friend Jonny’s parents and their friends. They’re not just any Appalachian Old Time band, but truly one of the most beloved old time bands in the region. I’ve been to many late night porch pickin’ sessions with them, and their son is the one who taught me how to play old time clawhammer banjo (the unique style of banjo playing they’re using)❤
that is so cool! all these connections for ppl, amazjng!
I loved absolutely everything about this video!! “Serendipitous” is the perfect description of this experience!
This video made me feel the full spectrum of emotion. From hearing Kate’s spine tinglingly beautiful voice in that church, being able to view the quaint epic landscapes of the Appalachian mountains, the sense of community in a seemingly “disconnected” place, the sheer scale of that telescope, the knowledge of the universe gifted to us from Lockman, the confusing yet eye opening conversation with somebody who suffers with electromagnetic hypersensitivity and finally new friends creating music together and forming connections. Was honestly so amazing and made my evening. Thank you once again guys for such an educational and entertaining video! YT for life!
This was such an amazing episode. Well said :).
As someone who has grown up within an hour of this area, I moved away after college and quickly moved back. It's great to see the history and culture being shown. Yew Theory was beyond respectful and genuinely excited. I'm now a ultra marathon runner who loves running this area. There's nothing like being disconnected from everything. Thanks for the video!

We had a camp basically across the street, maybe a a mile a way, from the observatory. I literally jumped out of my seat when I saw Mike Burns and his wife at the end of the video. He was playing fiddle with the WVU hat on. He was my stepmoms cousin and I have many great memories visiting them at their house and him and his brother playing guitar and singing at the family reunions at North Bend State Park.

Kate is such an artist. And thank you buddy, likewise to you!
It sounded very much like an old Irish song!
This was so wholesome! The way things fall into place for you guys, and often for the new friends you meet along the way, never ceases to amaze me. This is what it looks like to choose love over fear, adventure over isolationism, and YES over no. I always take at least one thing away from your videos that I can improve about the way I live and love, and I have so much gratitude for the opportunity that you provide to recognize how I can do a little better with each passing day. Kate is such a uniquely delightful person and talented singer - I hope she continues to follow her dream and shine her light everywhere she goes. The YES family really is a special group of people.
as a long-time fan, almost from the beginning, you guys never fail to leave me perpetually in awe of the riveting new content you constantly unveil on us. you're only gaining steam, moving only forward and up, and it's incredible to witness and to get to come along for the ride, even if only vicariously. this became an all-time favourite episode for me instantly!
9:39 incredible singing.
I love how respectful and kind you guys are. People like this are welcome literally anywhere on earth because its so universally recognized and appreciated. This was an awesome video!
YES! Kate is singing "Barbara Allen", Jean Ritchie's version, in a wonderful approximation of her style! Gorgeous
I thought I recognised it. Frank Turner sings a version on one of his albums.
These guys have good energy
I'm originally from WV, thank you for showing WV in such a positive light. You guys need to include Kate in more videos.

As a representative of pre-internet humanity, this brought a few tears to my eyes. This is what 'social' used to mean.

I have used UA-cam for years and not sure how I missed you guys but I did. For the last two days my family and I have been binging your content. These vids have so much heart and are nothing but inspirational!
amazing thank you so much!
I have been driving through this township for over 5+ years and had no clue about the quiet zone in the surrounding area. I always travel through to go to Snowshoe resort, now that I think about it the 2 hours of no service makes sense. Love the video
Been going to snowshoe for close to 25 years. Even when cell phones came out there was no service on the mountain. It’s been only recently…maybe the last 7-8 years where they put up small cell towers around the snowshoe village.
happy to see you showing appalachia .. the moutains that raised me i started to cry hearing her sing.. the music runs deep in my bones
Wow, this was the first video I've seen of yours. I really enjoyed how genuine and open minded you were about learning and participating in this community, especially as someone from outside of the U.S. I think the disposable film camera shots were my favorite part. And I loved the parallel you drew of the scientist exploring our world's future and the distant galaxies by day, and preserving America's past through music by night. I wouldn't have thought of that on my own.
This actually made me cry. I love the energy there and the way you guys helped her achieve her ambition. The beauty and the people are so open. How lovely.
I live in Appalachians in VA, and growing up I was introduced to a couple who lived way back in middle of nowhere off the grid, he made his own solar, and batteries, water, everything was self sufficient, the had hundreds of satellite dishes everywhere though, in trees, ground, top of buildings. Inside his house he had a large office that had computers and screens wrapped around, and flow charts all over the walls, boxes of printed paper codes, he was actually one of the pioneers of the computer age, and invented certain types of coding, and this was in the 90s at the dawn of the Internet, he wrote most codes for Microsoft, and would send it via sat to whoever, he did walk me through what he did, and it was over my head mostly, and I was in college for Information systems technology, so he had been a computer prodigy from the 70s, and had all the technology, sat phone, and things in mid late 90s. I'm thinking that lots of brilliant ppl live like that in these so called quiet zones
Thats damn nuts
Ok I never expected to see a YES Theory video in Appalachia! I live so close to here!!!
That quiet zone is awesome for an outdoors vacation. You can rent a cabin and just disconnect for a week.
You can do that anywhere simply by turning your phone off.
@@rztrzt uh, kind of missing the point no??
@@davidharris9092 Nope, you can disconnect anywhere, I do it when I go away for a weekend or more. I don't need to drive to area with radio silence to achieve that.

Big fan. people like yall really give inspiration and hope to the others. You not only have the story but the message as well which will stay on the internet hopefully forever. And people after 100's of years will watch this and get inspired to seek more
My hope, is that people 100 years from now will watch these stories as uplifting time-capsules for humanity 🙏
This is epitome of why I watch Yes Theory. Experiences that are interesting and delightful and that reaffirm the notion of the best of us are ordinary and extraordinary people are the same and we all contain multitudes. Fantastic job guys.
Yes, they feature places that most people have not heard of or have not gone to. I learn new things every time I watch one of their videos.
This was one of the best, if not the best, video you guys have ever made. The whole theme was just amazing.
We moved this year from the city to a tiny village and it is so lovely. No noise, fresh air, a garden.
Love your genuine curiosity and enjoyment! I appreciate that you stay away from from the negativity and sarcasm. Thank you 😊 it’s refreshing
Kate reminds me so much of Julia from Belarus! two amazing young women taking so much pride in their communities, their culture, and their passions. they both have such loving kind energy

As someone who lives in the Appalachians that are part of Pennsylvania, it's always great to see people come to the area and appreciate the culture and music. It's cool that you were able to experience the quiet zone. Hopefully you'll get an opportunity to explore the other areas of Appalachia as well.
Very interesting expose on the GBT by visitors from Sweden. I worked on the GBT project producing the azimuth and elevation positioning gear drives. I have always been fascinated by the GBT and proud to have been a part the project.
I love that you guys are exploring parts of America, and the East Coast region... there is so much history, culture, and natural beauty there. As someone who has lived around the world and all over the US from coast to coast, and who currently lives in the Appalachian foothills, it is an underappreciated part of America with so much to experience.
Another video that simply blows me away- and Kate seems awesome. Life might be what we make of it, but looking at how small we all are at a cosmic scale makes you think about how each decision we all make still affects everything else. It’s mind blowing
Thank you
First time seeing your channel. This is a very interesting video. I worked for a company in 2015 that managed telecom technicians in the Virginia / DC area. Some of the work was in the area where you visited. Being able to communicate with these techs was problematic at times due to the zones. There are others besides the one in West Virginia where communication is very difficult, especially near the NSA / DOD facilities. Really enjoyed this! Well done guys! Meeting Kate and having her along with you guys was a great piece of this story about the people in the area.
Kates voice is stunning. Transports you to another place. Peace and tranquillity. Great video.
Great timing releasing this video as someone that lives in the UK all the news we are getting from America at the moment is political and about how divided the country is.
This really shows the human side especially of rural America as I feel we only hear from certain types of people in places like West Virginia.
Loved hearing music we never really hear and hope Kate follows her musical passions.
Really enjoyed this video and probably one of my favourites you’ve made.
Pleeeease post Kate's debut video when it is ready. I absolutely loved her voice and spirit.
My mother was born in 1911..and later became became a nurse midwife
..graduating from the Frontier Nursing School. She rode horseback to rural Kentucky to deliver babies..educate mothers..etc..She then took a leap of faith ..and went on board ship in 1930 to Africa. Ended up working in S. Sudan as a nurse/midwife. ..her memories were amazing ..loved Kentucky!
Kate's singing, OMFG dude. Strikingky beautiful.
Appalacia is such a place!
as someone who lives in eastern Tennessee Appalachia mountains, I absolutely love this video.. Kate’s voice is so beautiful! I’ll always love that I can go 20 minutes down the road into these mountains and have no signal, it’s so relaxing to have a day and not have to worry about what is going on online or who’s calling. Thank you for this beautiful episode🫶🏻
Are you near the Great Smokeys?
I'm 99% sure I've ran into Kate before. My friends and I had gone caving in the area and decided to eat at Highs in Monterey afterwards. On the way out, we passed someone who looks exactly like her loading stuff into a car and we exchanged hellos as we walked past - she seemed super sweet. Such a small world we live in!
Were you go caving up at Hamilton / New Trout? Hamilton cave was a terrifying labyrinth lol
First rule of caving is to never go to a cave
@@roboticdart6138 Nope, we were poking around Sharps which is near Snowshoe. Although funny you say that, I was actually just at Hamilton this past Saturday - that place was incredibly confusing haha. Conquered the airblower too!
Franklin has wonderful caves.

Not only do you positively impact every single viewer of your videos, but you positively impact every place you visit. Keep up the great work!
This is wild to say because of how many great videos Yes Theory has made, but this may be their best ever. It's certainly their best in the new era of YT. Bravo
It warms my heart to see that a long time subscriber was able to hang out with you guys! Such a cool video. We drove through West Virginia after evacuating from NC when Hurricane Helene happened 😔 but it is such a beautiful state! ❤️

First time watching one of your videos. Dazzling how you create and capture a mood. Also loved how much Lockman respects Werner Herzog
Her singing and closing my eyes brought tears to them it was absolutely beautiful.
This whole piece is astonishing, I think by far your best work. And the people featured are all remarkable, starting with your talented guide, Kate, her boss, the town folk and the lead scientist. I live in Wales and I feel that the Appalachians are similarly discarded when it comes to natural beauty and people quality.
I've been to this area many times, but never as touched as this video. Very human connection. Thank you!
