Between Heather playing with dead things and Donut exploring abandoned buildings, I can't wait to see the fever dream vlogs turn into the Blair Witch Project.
Bringing the dad jokes... and funny seeing how John put the sticker on. I wasn't sure if he'd slap it right in the middle but he went upper left. He's lawful good.

John will remember this trip his whole life. I love to think of the trips I took with my dad when I was a kid. I still think of them, and I am 72. Time flies.
@@whoopityscoop9575 right you are, he will remember that his dad worked for a living. that is something a lot of people don't do. he will enjoy the fruits of his dad's labor (the brand new van) and learn that you earn what you have. Good lesson to give the kid.
Around 1895 Jack Daniels was approached by a bottle salesman from Illinois. He had a "square bottle for a square shooter." Daniels liked the feel of the bottle and the rest is history.
Donut, as Canadian, the repeated Tim Horton's references are greatly appreciated. If you ever find yourself in Alberta, Canada's Texas, hit me up and I'll take you for an iced capp or double double. Take care, eh? Dylan
I am soooo jealous..Father/son trip around "murica", no pressure, and in Tennessee ; which I have only been to once and it is an absolutely beautiful State!...I luv'ed it during my short stay there!!..Safe travels fella's!!!
Outstanding, Donut. I toured the JD distillery many years ago and it was nowhere near that nice, but the tours were very cool. Dude that gave the tour really exaggerated his Tennessee drawl for the benefit of the Missouri and New York contingent in our tour group. Go back and take the tour sometime, it's actually very cool to see how the Holy Elixir of Tennessee is made. If the tour's an hour and a half, they'll probably take you everywhere from the barrel-making to the distillery itself, and the grotto where they get the water from.
I used to live 10 minutes away from Lynchburg and seeing you guys walk through the square brought back so many awesome memories, I hope y'all had a good time.
You visited my home town! Henry Horton State Park is so much nicer now than it used to be. Years ago it was in really bad shape. Glad you came through, and you saw pretty much everything just driving through 🤣
Hey homeless man thank you for all the fun times with your vlogs please keep having fun and living life with homeless man jr we love to see it best of luck to you man!
I'm surprised you didn't buy a barrel of Jack Daniel's and have the bottle labels custom printed with an "inspirational" Donut message. But I think you have to wait a while for the barrel to mature. A friend did that a number of years ago and it was definitely a different kind gift.
Donut!! You drove through my home town! Hope you liked the cookout lol me and my brother go all of the time! Also hope our crazy drivers didn't scare you away
Great to see you're going well mate. Thanks for the content, love your travel vlogs. You should go through all the lower 48 states and Alaska doing travel vlogs. Would be epic.
I felt your pain for some time on the Superman ice cream, Donut. I had it once from an old fashion ice cream parlor we had hear and it closed when the owner died. Nothing till randomly years later, my store sold it on it's own and you could scoop what you wanted into containers. That went away too but good news Hudsonvill(e) brand sells Superman ice cream, I've seen it through my store. Check that out if you can, also gross but fun fact: that ice cream will turn your poo that blue color so don't freak out when you see it.
Hey Donut. If you're ever visiting Harvest, AL then you should stop at Johnny Gryll's/Kaleidoscoops. It's a pretty good burger and wings place with ice cream and they have Superman flavor.
I’ve been watching your stuff while I’m recovering from surgery. I usually watch paranormal investigations and true crime stuff (probably why your vids were recommended to me). I would have loved walking through that abandoned cabin AND the Jack Daniels Distillery IS actually haunted!!! I’ve wanted to investigate there! 🙂❤️👻
So Donut, go ahead you can admit it, you are really a closet Canadian aren't you? The first part of your vlog you kept referring to the state park as Tim Hortons. That had me grinning from ear to ear. I don't know if you even know this but up here in Canuk land we have a national chain of coffee shops that also specialize in selling, wait for it.........................................donuts! The irony of the whole thing had me LMAO. You keep being you brother, or should I say son since I am old enough to be your father. You're awesome.
" Jon, Hey Jon, Jon ,Jon, if we find anything dead, we gotta take it home to Heather!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And the man bun will grow out more just give it time, you'll be a real bum soon. Or a wizard🤣🤣 I love the edits your fever dream is rubbing off
Dude... I also have been searching for Superman ice cream. I used to get it at the K-Mart Cafe in O'Fallon, MO. My last scoop was in 1993. I may have to go to Lynchburg just for that... it's ONLY a 4 hour drive.
It's I would get the Superman Ice-cream once a week when I was a kid on the weekends with my dad. Instantly could remember the taste when you showed it
BarN owl. Barn owl. They are arguably where some ghost stories started, because - at night - they scream like someone being knifed in a dark alley. (but they make NO noise when they fly)
Donut, did you know that ghosts will follow you from a location and continue to haunt you after the disturbance. Your in trouble now….and you thought Heather was after your bones, lol
When I moved to Tennessee for a year we only ate bbq once because Tennessee bbg was not it and cook out was terrible I missed all of my terribly good Texas food glad I moved back home
"Any dead things? i need to take a gift back for my GF" lmfao shit like that gets me everytime, even though i know what she does with them lol. Here hon i got you a jack rabbit" Confederate DragonBalls. Dope. Memories of childhood lmfao
I love the new van setup, that thing is sweet. You may not want to idle that diesel for long periods of time. The modern emissions systems the government forces on them are crap. You're going to run into DPF and EGR issues if you do a ton of idling. You should also do more frequent oil changes if you idle a lot, you will have more fuel and crap from the EGR in the oil. I hate modern diesels.
Wait, “The Ice Cream Shoppe”? And they sell Superman Icecream? I’m pretty sure I’ve got the same place not too far from my house! They used to be called “Country Style Ice Cream” which is a way better name imo.
SUPERMAN ice cream is sold in Beaver, UTAH! At the creamery. 165 S 500 W Beaver UT. Since you said you would be out this way. Beaver isn't near SLC, but if your road tripping, why the not take the tour out there.
Man it's awesome to see someone complete the same lifelong mission that I've been on lol that damn elusive Superman ice cream looks as good as I remember. Man I miss Kmart Cafe haha.
I had superman ice cream twice in July once in Panama city at kilwins and in Hoover Al. Sat 30 Jul 22. I grew up in Mi and superman ice cream is big up there so when I find it I get it.
Love these kinda videos!! Need more like this. Oh and long cooking videos too. Skulls are cool. Appreciate the videos of you spending quality time with your van. Seems like a nice van... P.S. next time you see Eugene please tell him we all hate him (we being the people on the other side of the screen) which would make a great video tittle for the next podcast were you talk about us crazies. You can have that.... okay byeeeee
If you are anywhere outside of a city and have a firearm with you shoot the little bastards. They dig holes that cows break their legs in. Cattle farming is a huge deal in upper Arkansas and losing a cow is losing about a grand
"John, if we find anything dead we have to take it back to Heather!" Whiteclaw came out my nose man. If only you had found some real barbecue. A little hint about Tennessee barbecue is you usually need to be carrying a gun to get to the best spots. The places Karens don't go.
Why does it sometimes feel like the vlogs are the start to a horror movie about a father and son traveling the country till they get captured by cannibals.
It's a shame you didn't take the tour. It was definitely worth it, and I don't drink. If it's still a dry county, the tour guide explained that it was x amount of miles, and then steps inside the store, where you can legally buy the Whiskey off the shelf, otherwise it's just gift packs at Jack Daniel's location. Just in case I'm off, it was over 20yrs ago that I was there...
It's unfortunate you couldn't do the tasting tour at the jack plant. I did it years ago and they give you free booze at the end of it. You definitely got to do the bourbon trail when John is older, absolutely worth it
how do I keep finding these random ground birds?

You keep looking down. That's where the ground birds are. 😎
name the van Loretta idk why but when you said what should we name it. it just popped into my head
It's pretty easy if you break their wings off camera first.
I was thinking that too. So many ground birbs!

Bringing offerings to Heather to lure her into the van. Solid tactics, Donut.
Instead of "free candy" just put "free bones" on the side of the van. 😎
I swear you and Brandon at least looks wise are slowly blending into one person lol
At the end donut looks exactly like a white ak jesus lmao

I remember going to the kmart in Rome when I was little. They tore it down a few years back and now theres some food places and chipotle.
yup it's a Texas roadhouse now lol
Texas BBQ and superman ice cream the perfect combo
Donut, as Canadian, the repeated Tim Horton's references are greatly appreciated.
If you ever find yourself in Alberta, Canada's Texas, hit me up and I'll take you for an iced capp or double double.

Man I wish I could have done cool shit like this with my dad when I was younger. RIP pops.
Loving the travel vlog donut. Def something good to wind down and watch after being in the hospital
Agreed. Hope things are going well after your hospital stay.
The cameras filter lag going through that dilapidated building made it extra spooky.
I am soooo jealous..Father/son trip around "murica", no pressure, and in Tennessee ; which I have only been to once and it is an absolutely beautiful State!...I luv'ed it during my short stay there!!..Safe travels fella's!!!
So fun fact this is in Tennessee. That car has been there for atleast 35 years. My dad would always tell me about it! Been too it’s really creepy!
Hope you & John have an awesome trip
Road trip in New England for fall time see the country roads and leaves 🍃
I’ve been to that state park a time or two. TN has some pretty nice little state parks. Hope y’all enjoyed your time here!
With the van, now Donut can, at long last, live by the river. 😁
I have had a few vans, and now live by the "river" without any vehicle...and I can see the courthouse too...😁🤣👍

Nice vid....Some older houses have wells dug under that can be covered up over the years, be careful!
You can tell donut is a loving, loyal and caring dogfriend by him looking and bringing back dead animals to his girl.
As Donut was exploring the “haunted” house, was waiting for the Blair Witch to get them. Josh!
DOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEET!!!! Love you guys! Always cool seeing you hang out with John. Keep it up.
You visited my home town! Henry Horton State Park is so much nicer now than it used to be. Years ago it was in really bad shape. Glad you came through, and you saw pretty much everything just driving through 🤣

Lynchburg Tn. Haven't been there in so long. My dad used to visit on the regular.

Nice find on the car. Looks like an early 60s De soto/Chrysler
idle up the van a few rpm when leaving it on overnight helps the flow of oil in the motor
You should name your van "Fernweh" or Wanderlust in english. A love for adventuring, a lust at that.
Damn. If i wouldve known you were in the area i would've stopped by for autographs and pics. Love ya, bro

As a resident of Lynchburg Tennessee, barrelhouse is indefinitely better than the caboose but both are pretty bad.
Michigan is the only place I've found superman ice cream being sold everywhere. Unfortunately I live in Iowa where it is as rare as unicorns.
You should visit the USS ALABAMA if you’re cutting through Florabama to go into New Orleans or visit NAS while you’re down here.
