Thank you Art and Bri for documenting this tragedy in such a respectful way. I have seen too many people going around shoving cameras in people's faces when it is clearly not a good time. And thank you for doing so much to help your community but please remember to take care of yourselves mentally. Praying for your family and everyone affected by this disaster 💜
I want to say that I really appreciate the information you have shared with us following the hurricane. It has been honest, respectful and not sensationalized. Just a candid snapshot of what all these families have had to endure. Thank you so much for doing this so we can see the truth about how horrible & devastating this storm has been in your area. Blessings to you ❤
Thank you for respecting people’s privacy and just loving others without a camera in their face. That’s so respectful of their trauma. It’s good to get the information out there, but the tactfulness with which you’re doing it is truly commendable.
Bri -Art …. God is blessing you both . Your love for each other , and others is so inspiring . Please don’t stop vloging . You’re a testimony of how God makes beauty from ashes. Lots of love and continued prayers ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Bri and Art I am a many years sub and love you two so much! I live near Zebulon NC outside of Raleigh. Our church is collecting and we are forming teams boots on the ground. Our Pastor has already been delivering supplies. This is going to be a LONG process! What I want to say is I’m so happy to see you documenting bc so many of us trust you and Art! PLEASE continue to update us about needs and where the help is needed! And Art, you were MADE for this!! This is where your leadership gifts can be used by God! Love you both and the kids! 😍 God bless you both!
Please post regular updates SO THAT people don't forget this area! I know it'll be a long haul and I'm worried about when even social media stops covering it. There is another hurricane coming now and I worry about THIS community feeling or being forgotten.
The 2 nd hurricane is going to Cross Florida one side to the other. And break up at Sea. It's going to be ugly for Floridians. But desantis is ordering mandatory evacuations to prevent life loss most as possible.
@@MaryGwenDungan, 🙏🏼❤️ We love y'all. Praying for WNC every day,we think of everyone so often during the day, and pray for your safety, recovery from this hurricane , and God's comfort in the midst of it all.
Our church in Wisconsin sent two FULL-semis to Asheville last Saturday. Prayers and our thoughts those hit by Hurricane Helene. I love your channel and how you are covering Helene. Thanks for all you are doing Art and Bri. We love you. Please keep sharing on rebuilding of roads and anything you wish to film for us.
You have now become historians. Keep at it as this is history in the making. Well done, you guys. The Hollers have been out helping their neighbours also. Hope the kids are all OK?
Be careful, PTSD can take a while to sink in. You can get seconddary PTSD if you are doing rescue work. You will take it in your pores. Don't allow yourself to get too hungry, too angry, too lonely, too tired. HALT and take a break. You have spunk and bravery! ❤
Art and Bri, Thank you so much for your reports and taking us to the farm with you (and yes, that old barn is leaning more, but dang, isn't it an amazing piece of work!). Thank you for being respectful, and thank you for listening, and thank you for you care, and for remembering to take of yourselves, and for stepping back when you need too. Those who don't understand, won't, so just keep contrbuting what you are able to. And give Shep a good scratch on the head from me!
@@FadedRoseStoriesRussia why is it second hand if the person rescueing gets ptsd. Second hand means the person the resurrection tells a story to gets it….. which they can’t. It’s not a disease. It’s being traumatized by an experience you HAD
@@susancraft7749 The phrase "second-hand PTSD" might not be the most precise way to describe what can happen in rescue or emergency work, but there's a real concept at play here, even if the terminology gets a little fuzzy. I should have said SECONDARY Traumatic stress. I edited it to be precise. Clarifying There is a concept called vicarious trauma or secondary traumatic stress. This happens when someone, like a rescue worker or a therapist, takes on the emotional weight of others' trauma. It isn’t from someone telling them about it-it’s from being immersed in others' suffering, often repeatedly. This can absolutely affect mental health and feel like PTSD, even if it's not quite the same as having the original traumatic experience. Why This Misunderstanding Happens: The term “second-hand” can imply that trauma isn’t directly experienced, which might make it sound less "real." So you are right to correct that. However, vicarious trauma is very real. Rescue workers absorb the suffering they see-it seeps into them, almost literally, as I said, “taking it in through their pores.” Direct trauma from participating in or witnessing distressing situations can lead to PTSD, while secondary trauma can happen from exposure to others’ traumatic stories or suffering. Both are valid and serious, though the mechanisms are different.
Maybe it’s more despair than PTSD, I don’t know, I’m not an expert in this; but I know that simply for “everyday mental health”-especially in this toxic world we live in that is constantly trying to tear us down and make us give up, to make us heart-sick-the “HALT” thing is golden. It’s hard enough to “love well” on a “normal” day and nigh near impossible if you let yourself go too long without taking stock of your own needs. Lucky for those that belong to Him, Jesus cares for us ❤
My heart is so heavy for all those who are experiencing this horror. Thank God for all the folks like you two who are helping, helping, helping. Love thy neighbor as thyself.❤ Our southern folks are showing how resilient they are. Thanks to all for helping each other. Love from Texas.
You two are amazing. I'm so glad for Arts knowledge of the area. Bri, for you be willing and wanting Art to help. That puts more work on you and the kids. It's great you both get that you need to connect with the people. Ty for posting for us. I'm so thankful that your community has been there for each other. That's what it takes. Like you said Bri, you don't just prepare for yourself but you prepare for whoever needs Whst. The stone soup story fits this perfect. You give what you have to make the job easier, better, belly's filled. I thank you both for all you've done. Love your sweet family.
Please take care of your mental health. I know it’s hard when you are going nonstop and in your survival-mode. My parents are in Augusta and were hit hard and I can tell she’s going through all the stages of grief and shock. Please take time for support yourself as well.

Im in Greenville SC and you can drop off supplies between 9 am and 5 pm at the backside of the downtown Greenville airport off S Pleasantburg road at 21 Airport Road Extension in your GPS. Supplies are being flown up into NC. Thousands of volunteers are at this location doing rapid vehicle unloads and the line moves fast. Consider sending up HEALTHY foods like canned tuna, salmon, meats, veggies, and sugar free fruit. There are diabetics in need also. These people don't need to be eating crackers and pastries - nutrition matters in times of great stress. Please don't forget the equipment these guys need like saw oil, chainsaws, and gas! Greenville is with you all the way as we chainsaw our way out!
This is such good advice-God bless you for what you’re doing! I’m not in the mountains-I’m “unaffected” by this-but I’m a North Carolinian who loves her state (and has life-long memories of visiting the stunningly beautiful mountains here!), and so I am affected by the tragedy, and blessed by the outpouring of love and care, that is unfolding in this situation. Thank you for being part of His “hands and feet”.
Art , I knew down in my heart you would be doing just what you’re meant to do !! I don’t even think I’m surprised that your mountain property was undamaged , I have prayed for that little house. Thank you for talking us back there . I have sent coats thru my. Church, blankets coming soon because the weather will be changing soon!! God bless .
Mike from Cleveland, Ohio here. Thank you for telling us what you're going through, and thank you for all you're doing for everyone trying to cope with all this devastation. My prayers are with you.
I've lost count of how many UA-cam channels I've never seen even though I watch channels similar that I've discovered because of this terrible event. I'm so grateful for everyone doing exactly what y'all are doing helping people and also being respectful keeping in mind privacy. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone dealing with this type of deviation. I live in northeast Georgia we lost power for days and had a bunch of trees on house's some flooding. But not whole town's washed away. I can't even imagine how that must feel. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
You guys are simply the best! 💛🌟💛 I'm so happy to see your farm totally unharmed! That's almost a miracle with the creek running so close to buildings, and everything seems to be in perfect shape! What a relief! I'm so sorry for all the destruction in your area, in the WNC, and all other affected states and communities. And especially for those who lost their loved ones or their homes. I hope they get all the help they need! ❤
Fellow subscribers : let’s remember how all our prayers were answered to bring this dear couple back together! God was so faithful and merciful to do that! Thank you Jesus. And thank you Art & Bre for continuing to produce such great content !
Keep up the coverage ! Keep us informed ! Fake news has no coverage on this devastation. You need to film everything, please document the sorrow in the American people’s faces. God bless you both.
I’ve only found them this week and started watching. I really wish I knew the backstory of what’s been going on with them. Is there a particular episode I could watch? Thanks.
We have electricity and water, but the devastation for so many is absolutely horrific! Our beautiful Asheville and WNC may never return like it once was. Please pray for the ppl affected by this tragic event.
I got power yesterday and, fortunately, I had water the whole time. My town looks the same, but I'm about 10 miles from Chimney Rock and Bat Cave, which do not look the same and maybe never will.
My heart breaks for all the families. I can’t even comprehend the devastation that is NC right now. Thank you so much Art and Bri for sharing. We will be donating through our churches ministry it’s all we can do. Praying for everyone for strength to get through this and get their lives rebuilt. Bringing Gods mercy down to comfort and heal their broken souls and bodies.
Thank you both for sharing what you can when you can with us. You will be in our prayers for as long as it takes. I’m sure that the people that haven’t left their homes are in shock and might not have the means to move elsewhere. Sending prayers and hugs to all that need them! 💞
Bri and art. Thank you for your kindness and being considerate of other’s privacy. My husband and I have spent several weeks a year traveling on our motorcycles in the Maggie valley, Asheville and nearby locations. We are praying heavily for all our friends we have made in our visits. We are in PA. Plan to visit again in November.
You are both wonderful. Thank you so much for all that you are doing; helping people, being there for your family and others, bringing supplies, lending an ear as well as a hand, all while living through the destruction yourself and bringing us along when possible. Be safe and keep us informed of anything we can do to help. Love you all.
I can understand why some folks don't wanna leave their homes. It's probably all they have, and abandoning their property and home will probably weigh heavier on them then actually staying there. Our local area went through a flood in August from a tropical storm. It hurts so bad to see the destruction. My prayers is that these people lean on the LORD for all their strength. I do believe we are being tested. Prayers for everyone.
I saved this yesterday. Thank you for your helping. Glad to see both of your homes spared. Please let us know later how your friends were. Ty. We will continue to pray.
God had His hand on your farm. I am so thankful you are sharing your stories and allowing us to see through your lens the devastation. You both are doing a fantastic job respecting peoples privacy. We aren't getting that type of news here in Ontario Canada. However i have been praying.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful to protect yourselves. Your brains are still recovering from what you have been through in the last year. It is in your nature to help to your limit and beyond but there will be months if not years worth of help needed. Protect yourself now so you can go the distance and not become casualties of this disaster. God bless you and protect you all.
Thank you for taking the time to share your reflections and a glimpse of whats happening in your area. We are from the Greensboro area and very thankful that all we had was a lot of rain and wind but nothing devastating. We frequently travel up to the mountains for camping and I think unless you have some familiarity with the mountain terrain in WNC its hard to fathom how difficult it is to provide aide in to this area. It frustrates me to hear some of what I am sure is misinformation and politicisation of so much tragedy. I especially appreciate you sharing how local communities are coming together to help each other. Its a bright thing in the midst of so much loss. Also pointing out that some people really need just talk about the experience. Thank you so much for providing loving care to those you can. Blessings
I’ve been worried sick for the whole area. So amazed by everyone who is coming together. Praying often for you. Thank you for sharing a real experience!
Art, I’m so grateful you conquered your demons. Watching you doing all of this good work is such a blessing for so so many. Listening to you speak with such compassion and truth has made me cry. I love and recognize your great strength. ❤️
Thinking of everyone affected by this. Thank you for all that you are doing. It is so helpful to hear you speak in a manner that is not blaming or fueling more strife.
Thank you so much!! It is so good to get the truth out about this devastating situation. There have been so many lies and and fear mongering to push a political agenda that is cruel and heart breaking. Americans by nature are generous and unite to help. This is the America I know and support. I love your channel and miss when you are unable to post.. Again, thank you!
You guys are such wonderful people and the community is so lucky to have you. Please keep posting, we missed you. Praying for all of you and those impacted- Julie
I really appreciate how you're willing to show the rest of us what's really happening as best as you can. I've lived through several much less volatile hurricanes and tropical storms and we didn't have the devastation you're dealing with. I pray you get the rest you need. We have are large family and had to deal with the stress of how to deal with no electricity, no water, but thankfully we figured out how to make do with the bottled water and camp stove. Hearing that you're taking time to help you community when you're also struggling is the best way to deal with the loss. It helped us get through our much less devastating circumstances. It also brought us together to help our neighbors clean up debris. We became closer to our neighbors because of it. Keep up the good work and don't worry about providing videos everyday even though I enjoy it and am subscribing because of your videos. I had not seen your channel before this, but now I'm following you.
I can't thank yall enough for sharing what you see and the effects of this horrible event. Many continued prayers for all those affected by this tragedy. Prayers to yall and your family as well. ❤😢
Thank you for the updates. I am so proud of you and your wife; your what Americans are about. I glad you Mom & Dad were ok. You are my kind of American, love your story about yesterday, joining those other men and get out there and helping those who needed some help to continue working to get back on their feet. So much to be done. We pray for all the people and the ones who lost their live, may they RIP. I am 84 in good health and retired after 30 years at 55 and move to the mountain also 6,400, had 601” of snow last. I was a Police Volunteer Officer for 16 year with 7,000 plus hours, all field work (outside) loved helping other people. Be safe and well.
What you showed with your farm is amazing in how God protected it. Thank you for letting us know what is happening there. It's been difficult to know what is truth and what isn't.
Love you two and those precious kids. I'm so thankful you 2 are where you are today. You need each other. I love watching God's story unfold. Thank you Bri for braving the fact that art has to go out in this mess. Thank you art for doing what your doing.
Our thoughts are with everyone who has been impacted by this event. We feel grateful for everyone with the good that they're doing to lift up community and make sure needs are met.❤
I can see that what the Lord has allowed you both to go through in the past He used to strengthen you both to now minister to your neighbours in this time. I see it so clearly and so beautifully.❤
Art & Bri, You are good people. The work of reaching those in need is monumental. Thank you for sharing and it shows where your hearts are. You are truly saints and are a blessing to those who have immediate needs for surviving and you are making a huge difference to so many whose lives are now in a horrific situation. Thank you for sharing❤️
Thank you for sharing this with us. I appreciate the respectful way you’re documenting, yet giving these people their privacy. I told my husband after seeing Art and Grace hiking that there’s no one else I would trust but Art! We’ve seen his love of this area and he knows it so well!
There is also so much people don't think of that can't be used again. My husband's grandmother had a house that was completely under water and had to throw away all the furniture and her appliances too.
I am so sorry for the loss and devastation. Prayers for those cut off especially, as winter approaches. May the Lord strengthen each one in theur inner being. My heart and prayers go out, (and up), for pastors / wives. Praying for miraculous rescues.
Farm dogs are not happy urban setters you guys are doing the most loving thing for him. Being with somebody 24 hours doesn't make it good intention, processing multiple layers and giving yourself space for all possibilities. I'm happy you guys are doing well. Extra hugs
Hey! Make sure you're taking care of yourself, too. It's easy to over exhaust yourself and run yourself ragged, especially when you're in a situation where you are able to help people. Keep up the good work!❤
I’m so thankful your farm was spared! I believe you were blessed for a reason! I can’t wait to see what the Lord is going to do! Praying for you all. Art, you are correct, people need to talk about what they’ve been through, and the things they’ve seen. It’s part of the healing process. My dad was a police officer, and he saw and experienced some horrific things. He had to talk about it to maintain his sanity. It’s important to release those kinds of things, and not keep them bottled up.
My hear is breaking 💔as I’m watching all these videos. My daughter just moved to Charlotte, and for the first time I had a chance to drive thru the mountains and it was so unbelievably beautiful. 🙏🏻🇺🇸☮️from Michigan.
I really enjoyed listening to your first hand account after such a devastating and hearing your Story what and how you are helping and coping. Just knowing about this I'm in west tenn is so incomprehensible to me I just cannot imagine. I'm so grateful to hear this first hand account. Yall see like such lovely people yourselves. GOD Bless
Thank you for your videos. Yesterday was the first time I saw detail video of the extent of the damage caused by the hurricane. The information was not getting out. I guess because of the power and cell phone services going down. You are angels helping others. God bless you!
Thank you both for keeping us informed as to what is going on in your area and what is needed! We, here in the midwest, want to help, but don't know where to start, how to help. We have been donating to Samaritans Purse b/c we know that the supplies will be distributed to places and people that need them. We deal with tornadoes here and yes, we have had friends and family at one time or another that have had everything they own just blown apart, but not on this scale. I can't begin to imagine. We have gone on vacations in your area many many times, such beauty out there. We were just in Asheville this last early summer. My heart breaks for all of you. We are praying for everyone and thank you for updating us with your videos. May God Bless you all.
Praise God that the farm is ok !! All the videos I have seen just break my heart ! I have gone from praying to crying. Over and over. My faith is strong and I know that you homesteaders are going to be fine. Yet I still worry about y’all ! God bless and keep you. Much love and hugs and prayers from central Alabama ❤
Love and prayers for all there in that community. They are tough and caring and will pull through this just fine! Thank you for all that you're doing to help out others. You are making a huge difference in so many people's lives!
Praying for everyone 🙏 and thank you for the great work your doing. I live in cape Carteret nc and I wish everyone safe and prayers for the family of the lost.
i am so glad to see you two are ok. i knew you would be out helping out. god bless you all and i pray that everyone can mentally cope with this disaster. be careful and take care
Thank you for ALL you are doing--and you are helping meet basic human needs, which EVERYONE has! Feeding peoples bellies, listening to them, and helping them refill their souls are priorities! It is also important to respect their privacy, and recognize they are experiencing shock and grief. I am near Raleigh, and we are filling truckloads with food, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, unopened over the counter medications (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, antihistamine, decongestant, cough medicine, Pepto-Bismol, antacids, antidiarrheals, etc.), basic demolition and construction tools, NEW socks and NEW underwear (for all ages), and more. People tried to donate bags of used clothing, but the NC Department of Disaster Recovery is discouraging that right now because there are no warehouses for storage--and sometimes donated clothes are not clean and in good condition. You are doing a wonderful job of reaching out to others! Thank you!
Take care of yourselves, physically, emotionall and mentally as it is exhausting and draining to be constantly available and helping. You must first take care of yourselves to be able to help others
Thank you for informing those from areas who were clear of this event, some news from the front. You are precious to us. I am so blessed to hear your stories. Please stay as optimistic as you were during the very worst possible days. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers here in Central Pennsylvania.
Thank you Art and Bri for documenting this tragedy in such a respectful way. I have seen too many people going around shoving cameras in people's faces when it is clearly not a good time. And thank you for doing so much to help your community but please remember to take care of yourselves mentally. Praying for your family and everyone affected by this disaster 💜

I don’t even think I’m surprised that your mountain property was undamaged , I have prayed for that little house.
Thank you for talking us back there . I have sent coats thru my. Church, blankets coming soon because the weather will be changing soon!!
God bless .
Mike from Cleveland, Ohio here. Thank you for telling us what you're going through, and thank you for all you're doing for everyone trying to cope with all this devastation. My prayers are with you.
Thank you for sharing. The Hollers are just like you guys helping. My prayers are with you all. Greetings from the UK.
I've lost count of how many UA-cam channels I've never seen even though I watch channels similar that I've discovered because of this terrible event. I'm so grateful for everyone doing exactly what y'all are doing helping people and also being respectful keeping in mind privacy. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone dealing with this type of deviation. I live in northeast Georgia we lost power for days and had a bunch of trees on house's some flooding. But not whole town's washed away. I can't even imagine how that must feel. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
You guys are simply the best! 💛🌟💛
I'm so happy to see your farm totally unharmed! That's almost a miracle with the creek running so close to buildings, and everything seems to be in perfect shape! What a relief!
I'm so sorry for all the destruction in your area, in the WNC, and all other affected states and communities. And especially for those who lost their loved ones or their homes. I hope they get all the help they need! ❤
Fellow subscribers : let’s remember how all our prayers were answered to bring this dear couple back together! God was so faithful and merciful to do that! Thank you Jesus. And thank you Art & Bre for continuing to produce such great content !
I’m from WNC and seeing the things I’ve seen is heartbreaking. I no longer live there but my heart is there. ❤️
Keep up the coverage ! Keep us informed ! Fake news has no coverage on this devastation. You need to film everything, please document the sorrow in the American people’s faces. God bless you both.
Thank you so much for all your assistant in helping those who are in such a great need of help.God bless all the people affected by this disaster.
You are good people. Wishing you all the best from Amsterdam, the Netherlands
It blesses me to see the two of you working together as a Team!! Praise God!
That's the Art I remember. The "Look" is back.
He needs to be needed. He is in his element when he can offer his help and knowledge to absolutely anyone.
I’ve only found them this week and started watching. I really wish I knew the backstory of what’s been going on with them. Is there a particular episode I could watch? Thanks.
@@shill4 Probably watch 2 episodes from 2019,21,23,Now.
We have electricity and water, but the devastation for so many is absolutely horrific! Our beautiful Asheville and WNC may never return like it once was. Please pray for the ppl affected by this tragic event.
I got power yesterday and, fortunately, I had water the whole time. My town looks the same, but I'm about 10 miles from Chimney Rock and Bat Cave, which do not look the same and maybe never will.
My heart breaks for all the families. I can’t even comprehend the devastation that is NC right now. Thank you so much Art and Bri for sharing. We will be donating through our churches ministry it’s all we can do. Praying for everyone for strength to get through this and get their lives rebuilt. Bringing Gods mercy down to comfort and heal their broken souls and bodies.
Thank you both for sharing what you can when you can with us. You will be in our prayers for as long as it takes. I’m sure that the people that haven’t left their homes are in shock and might not have the means to move elsewhere. Sending prayers and hugs to all that need them! 💞
Bri and art. Thank you for your kindness and being considerate of other’s privacy. My husband and I have spent several weeks a year traveling on our motorcycles in the Maggie valley, Asheville and nearby locations. We are praying heavily for all our friends we have made in our visits. We are in PA. Plan to visit again in November.
You are both wonderful. Thank you so much for all that you are doing; helping people, being there for your family and others, bringing supplies, lending an ear as well as a hand, all while living through the destruction yourself and bringing us along when possible. Be safe and keep us informed of anything we can do to help. Love you all.
Yall are amazing people. Thank you for all the help you’ve been providing and also thank you for sharing your experience with us. 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. I told my husband today, that Bri, is my Christmas Cranberry Cake recipe friend!
Love thy neighbor and always be humble and kind. God bless you all. Prayers for everyone. ❤❤❤
So glad to hear your farm is ok. Appreciate the report and your care for others. This was a bright spot today.
Thanks for being a helper, the traumatic experiences are so much more manageable to the helpers ❤
I've been praying God Bless the Helpers!
I can understand why some folks don't wanna leave their homes. It's probably all they have, and abandoning their property and home will probably weigh heavier on them then actually staying there.
Our local area went through a flood in August from a tropical storm. It hurts so bad to see the destruction. My prayers is that these people lean on the LORD for all their strength. I do believe we are being tested. Prayers for everyone.
I saved this yesterday. Thank you for your helping. Glad to see both of your homes spared. Please let us know later how your friends were. Ty. We will continue to pray.
This is the way it’s supposed to be done. Local involvement neighbors helping neighbors. Thank you for not horriblizing this issue.
It's what should be done if we weren't already paying 30%+ of our income every year to a government who promises help that never comes...
God had His hand on your farm. I am so thankful you are sharing your stories and allowing us to see through your lens the devastation. You both are doing a fantastic job respecting peoples privacy. We aren't getting that type of news here in Ontario Canada. However i have been praying.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful to protect yourselves. Your brains are still recovering from what you have been through in the last year. It is in your nature to help to your limit and beyond but there will be months if not years worth of help needed. Protect yourself now so you can go the distance and not become casualties of this disaster. God bless you and protect you all.
Wise words!
In amongst all the destruction you can see what a beautiful area it was and will be again in time. ❤
Thank you for your honesty and your work. You are what our country needs more of. Blessings to you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your reflections and a glimpse of whats happening in your area. We are from the Greensboro area and very thankful that all we had was a lot of rain and wind but nothing devastating. We frequently travel up to the mountains for camping and I think unless you have some familiarity with the mountain terrain in WNC its hard to fathom how difficult it is to provide aide in to this area. It frustrates me to hear some of what I am sure is misinformation and politicisation of so much tragedy. I especially appreciate you sharing how local communities are coming together to help each other. Its a bright thing in the midst of so much loss. Also pointing out that some people really need just talk about the experience. Thank you so much for providing loving care to those you can. Blessings
I’ve been worried sick for the whole area. So amazed by everyone who is coming together. Praying often for you. Thank you for sharing a real experience!
Art, I’m so grateful you conquered your demons. Watching you doing all of this good work is such a blessing for so so many. Listening to you speak with such compassion and truth has made me cry. I love and recognize your great strength. ❤️
Thinking of everyone affected by this. Thank you for all that you are doing. It is so helpful to hear you speak in a manner that is not blaming or fueling more strife.
There's nothing wrong with telling the cold hard truth.
@Friggsdottir it does nothing good. People need help and healing. Not hate and rhetoric.
Amen! Be respectful! Do not make things worse by spreading misinformation/aka downright lies:. Art, my cap is off to you and Bri!
Thank you for the help you are able to give. What a blessing to see that your farm is untouched. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!! It is so good to get the truth out about this devastating situation. There have been so many lies and and fear mongering to push a political agenda that is cruel and heart breaking. Americans by nature are generous and unite to help. This is the America I know and support. I love your channel and miss when you are unable to post.. Again, thank you!
Sending a big hug from SC ❤praying for y’all
You guys are such wonderful people and the community is so lucky to have you. Please keep posting, we missed you. Praying for all of you and those impacted- Julie
I really appreciate how you're willing to show the rest of us what's really happening as best as you can. I've lived through several much less volatile hurricanes and tropical storms and we didn't have the devastation you're dealing with. I pray you get the rest you need. We have are large family and had to deal with the stress of how to deal with no electricity, no water, but thankfully we figured out how to make do with the bottled water and camp stove. Hearing that you're taking time to help you community when you're also struggling is the best way to deal with the loss. It helped us get through our much less devastating circumstances. It also brought us together to help our neighbors clean up debris. We became closer to our neighbors because of it. Keep up the good work and don't worry about providing videos everyday even though I enjoy it and am subscribing because of your videos. I had not seen your channel before this, but now I'm following you.
Hey south Louisiana here, please don't give up hope. Praying for you
God bless you for helping those in need and spreading the love. Thank you ❤
I can't thank yall enough for sharing what you see and the effects of this horrible event. Many continued prayers for all those affected by this tragedy. Prayers to yall and your family as well. ❤😢
I would imagine chain saw bar oil and 2 cycle oil are running low in that area too.
That is a REALLY good thought!
My thanks for being such good neighbors. The sights and stories are heartbreaking, but we need to see and hear what people have been through.
Thank you for sharing. Much love for your whole area.
Thank you for the updates. I am so proud of you and your wife; your what Americans are about. I glad you Mom & Dad were ok. You are my kind of American, love your story about yesterday, joining those other men and get out there and helping those who needed some help to continue working to get back on their feet. So much to be done. We pray for all the people and the ones who lost their live, may they RIP. I am 84 in good health and retired after 30 years at 55 and move to the mountain also 6,400, had 601” of snow last. I was a Police Volunteer Officer for 16 year with 7,000 plus hours, all field work (outside) loved helping other people. Be safe and well.
You guys are doing GODS work. Many blessings to everyone assisting everyone in need. ❤️
Thank you for your Loving Kindness ..God Bless you and all of the others helping you. 💗💕💜
What you showed with your farm is amazing in how God protected it.
Thank you for letting us know what is happening there. It's been difficult to know what is truth and what isn't.
Full respect for your integrity as you document this. Rest well - sending love from Canada.
Love you two and those precious kids. I'm so thankful you 2 are where you are today. You need each other. I love watching God's story unfold. Thank you Bri for braving the fact that art has to go out in this mess. Thank you art for doing what your doing.
Our thoughts are with everyone who has been impacted by this event. We feel grateful for everyone with the good that they're doing to lift up community and make sure needs are met.❤
I can see that what the Lord has allowed you both to go through in the past He used to strengthen you both to now minister to your neighbours in this time. I see it so clearly and so beautifully.❤
Sending love, hope and peace for all those affected. Thanks for helping in every way you can. 😢❤
Art & Bri, You are good people. The work of reaching those in need is monumental. Thank you for sharing and it shows where your hearts are. You are truly saints and are a blessing to those who have immediate needs for surviving and you are making a huge difference to so many whose lives are now in a horrific situation. Thank you for sharing❤️
Thank you for sharing this with us. I appreciate the respectful way you’re documenting, yet giving these people their privacy.
I told my husband after seeing Art and Grace hiking that there’s no one else I would trust but Art! We’ve seen his love of this area and he knows it so well!
I trust and appreciate your updates. Thank you, and thank you for being so respectful of others. God bless❤
There is also so much people don't think of that can't be used again. My husband's grandmother had a house that was completely under water and had to throw away all the furniture and her appliances too.
Thank you Art for being a fabulous person in helping people get to their destination ❤.
You are very special never forget!
JO JO IN VT 💞
Thank you love you folks God Bless you all🌺🌴🍍✝️🇺🇸🤙🏽
I am so sorry for the loss and devastation. Prayers for those cut off especially, as winter approaches. May the Lord strengthen each one in theur inner being. My heart and prayers go out, (and up),
for pastors / wives. Praying for miraculous rescues.
Thank you for sharing. Our hearts just break for y’all. Please keep sharing and take care.
Farm dogs are not happy urban setters you guys are doing the most loving thing for him. Being with somebody 24 hours doesn't make it good intention, processing multiple layers and giving yourself space for all possibilities. I'm happy you guys are doing well. Extra hugs
Hey! Make sure you're taking care of yourself, too. It's easy to over exhaust yourself and run yourself ragged, especially when you're in a situation where you are able to help people.
Keep up the good work!❤
I’m so thankful your farm was spared! I believe you were blessed for a reason! I can’t wait to see what the Lord is going to do! Praying for you all. Art, you are correct, people need to talk about what they’ve been through, and the things they’ve seen. It’s part of the healing process. My dad was a police officer, and he saw and experienced some horrific things. He had to talk about it to maintain his sanity. It’s important to release those kinds of things, and not keep them bottled up.
My hear is breaking 💔as I’m watching all these videos. My daughter just moved to Charlotte, and for the first time I had a chance to drive thru the mountains and it was so unbelievably beautiful.
🙏🏻🇺🇸☮️from Michigan.
We are Donating to Save our Allies w/Tim Kennedy. We are Praying! This is so sad & I can’t imagine what you all have been through 😢🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
I really enjoyed listening to your first hand account after such a devastating and hearing your
Story what and how you are helping and coping. Just knowing about this I'm in west tenn is so incomprehensible to me I just cannot imagine. I'm so grateful to hear this first hand account. Yall see like such lovely people yourselves. GOD Bless
Hello from Phoenix, thanks for sharing. My heart goes out to you all.
Please keep posting. This is very important for the world to see.
Thank you for your videos. Yesterday was the first time I saw detail video of the extent of the damage caused by the hurricane. The information was not getting out. I guess because of the power and cell phone services going down. You are angels helping others. God bless you!
Thank you both for keeping us informed as to what is going on in your area and what is needed! We, here in the midwest, want to help, but don't know where to start, how to help. We have been donating to Samaritans Purse b/c we know that the supplies will be distributed to places and people that need them. We deal with tornadoes here and yes, we have had friends and family at one time or another that have had everything they own just blown apart, but not on this scale. I can't begin to imagine. We have gone on vacations in your area many many times, such beauty out there. We were just in Asheville this last early summer. My heart breaks for all of you. We are praying for everyone and thank you for updating us with your videos. May God Bless you all.
Praise God that the farm is ok !! All the videos I have seen just break my heart ! I have gone from praying to crying. Over and over. My faith is strong and I know that you homesteaders are going to be fine. Yet I still worry about y’all ! God bless and keep you.
Much love and hugs and prayers from central Alabama ❤
Love and prayers for all there in that community. They are tough and caring and will pull through this just fine! Thank you for all that you're doing to help out others. You are making a huge difference in so many people's lives!
Thank you for showing the farm was worried was a mess. And thank you for helping others.
Praying for everyone 🙏 and thank you for the great work your doing. I live in cape Carteret nc and I wish everyone safe and prayers for the family of the lost.
i am so glad to see you two are ok. i knew you would be out helping out. god bless you all and i pray that everyone can mentally cope with this disaster. be careful and take care
Thank you for ALL you are doing--and you are helping meet basic human needs, which EVERYONE has! Feeding peoples bellies, listening to them, and helping them refill their souls are priorities! It is also important to respect their privacy, and recognize they are experiencing shock and grief.
I am near Raleigh, and we are filling truckloads with food, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, unopened over the counter medications (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, antihistamine, decongestant, cough medicine, Pepto-Bismol, antacids, antidiarrheals, etc.), basic demolition and construction tools, NEW socks and NEW underwear (for all ages), and more. People tried to donate bags of used clothing, but the NC Department of Disaster Recovery is discouraging that right now because there are no warehouses for storage--and sometimes donated clothes are not clean and in good condition.
You are doing a wonderful job of reaching out to others! Thank you!
Take care of yourselves, physically, emotionall and mentally as it is exhausting and draining to be constantly available and helping. You must first take care of yourselves to be able to help others
Thank you for informing those from areas who were clear of this event, some news from the front. You are precious to us. I am so blessed to hear your stories. Please stay as optimistic as you were during the very worst possible days. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers here in Central Pennsylvania.
I will be tuning into this channel for the long haul ahead. We appreciate the information so much. ❤🇺🇸
Thank you, Art and Bri, and family for all you’re doing for the people 💕 God Bless all of you!! 🙏
