We used to come home from the mountains via Bryson City down through Murphy Ranger and Copper Hill. I worked for Wrangler too as well. Keep up the good work and ignore the haters.

    Tipper, I think you are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. And the kindness that exudes from your heart makes you stunning!
    I always say we live in such a beautiful world full of beautiful humans but sadly mean-spirited individuals also walk among us. I'll pray for that person, that God touches their heart and makes them lead with love and kindness.
    People who make mean comments are typicaly unhappy souls, likely very insecure and fighting some sort of demons.
    Keep your chin up and don't let any mean or hurtful words dampen your kind spirit and your gentle soul.
    Love & light.

    I love this channel, your accent, the Appalachian people. I’m so far from home, I subscribe to your channel and get a taste of home. I read the comments for “dessert “. I’ve been living in Mexico for 20 years, at first with my young son, but then he returned to the US for college, sigh. Your channel warms my heart . I was in Bryson City with my siblings and mother. We spent the summer there in the mountains to get away from the South Florida busy ness. We camped, swam in a local public pool, the river, learned macrame and sand painting. We climbed trees, I tasted crabapples from the tree for the first time. We caught lightning bugs, they filled the whole yard, as well as the mosquitoes. The best summer of my life. Maybe one day the Lord will bring me back to Appalachia. We were all born in TN, but Nantahala Gorge, oh my heart.

    One of the things I appreciate about your channel is the community you've built in the comments section. Partly that's because you attract so many nice people, but it's also down to you doing the work to monitor the comments and delete the hateful, ugly ones. Some content creators don't do that and over time it sets the tone for their community. Nice people don't want to read things like that and don't want to post comments if they think they may get nasty remarks in return. Unfortunately, people slinging insults at each other means more comments, so I suspect some content creators leave them to generate more traffic.
    Asking what you would do if the Internet went away is like if someone would have asked me back in the olden days when I was a telephone operator, what I'd do if telephones went away. It's not going to happen. Or if it did, we'd be having way worse things to worry about than how we'd earn a living. But if we somehow just erased the Internet, I think you'd be doing the same things you're doing now, only in person. You'd be teaching classes in growing your own food, cooking, canning, preserving, and other Appalachian folkways. You'd be giving lectures on the language and culture of Appalachia. You'd be writing cookbooks, selling folk art, writing a newspaper column (because without the Internet, people would want print newspapers and magazines again). Your family would be making music around the area like the Wilson Brothers did. You would be better suited to a life without the Internet than 98% of the population. But your viewers who don't live nearby would miss you like crazy!

I'm glad you don't take the negative comments to heart, of course its so much harder when your children are criticized. 😕 Funny about you spending a lot of time at Granny's, my Blue Ridge grandparents moved north before my mother was born, and lived out their days in PA. Granny became a widow at age 48 shortly after my parents got married. My earliest memories are of visiting Granny EVERY single night! Every night my parents piled us kids into the car and we spent some time at Granny's. We live next door to my mother, just like you do :) So the Appalachian traditions live on up North. :) Thank you for sharing so much with us.❤

Thank you so much for sharing your family and lives and being willing to suffer those hateful comments. Y’all are all wonderful. Sending love to you all. Kristina

    It's good that you remove &/or block the hateful comments, because some of us who read all the comments may not have the needed restraint to keep from setting those folks straight! You have become family to us, & we would feel the need to take up for you. It hurts my heart that you are subjected to the evil of others in order to share your life with us. Praying that God keeps your hide tough; & that you continue to see your beauty & worth through His eyes, & not measure yourself against the words of ugly, jealous, broken, & ignorant people! We love you & your precious family, Tipper. You are such a reflection of all that is good, honest, & beautiful. Just keep on being you! 🥰

    Being born and raised in the Appalachian mountains, I can testify to the part of the John Denver song, Country Roads, that states 'life is old there, older than the trees...". Life IS old here, and that's a good thing! I've been made fun of by others because of where I'm from, but I could never live anywhere else. Appalachia is home to me! I love y'all's videos and appreciate you sharing our rich and diverse mountain cultures!

    As a young girl I loved to watch three Soap Operas on TV: Edge of Night, As The World Turns, and Secret Storm. For those who have watched the Soaps, there would always be an ongoing mean, sometimes diabolical character that would wreak havoc on the lives of others. I remember thinking “no one can be so purposefully this hateful”. Wow was I wrong. As I aged and mingled with a variety of individuals I realized those TV meanies really did represent how some humans behave. Tipper, while I know from experience that ugly comments can be hurtful, you just keep moving onward and upward. You have done a wonderful job creating a VLOG that is appreciated by many of us.

I learn something new about the history of the area while researching genealogy. Watching and learning from you and your entire family adds the authentic factor.

Love your family values and close knit kinship. I grew up in Tennessee and North Georgia so poor we couldn't afford electricity until 1963. Farming wasn't a lifestyle but survival. We were very close and still are 60 years later. You posts just brings back my youth. Thank you and keep it going. Mean commenters need the shucks kicked out of their britches, as my Daddy would say!

I never thought that I would carry the knowledge of all the libraries in the world in the palm of my hand. However, if it were taken away tomorrow, I would keep living my life just the way I live it now minus the Internet. What a blessing to live in Appalachia where we keep the main thing the main thing.

We are in our 80’s and it is so satisfying watching you all plant the seeds, nurture the new growth and then watch it reach the dinner table. Last year you had a huge beautiful red coleus planted outside the greenhouse. I loved that plant and it always made me smile. Are you planning to plant another one this year? Keep up the good work and being an example on how to live a satisfying life!

    Tipper, I have watched your videos for a couple of years and also the girls' channel.
    I was born and raised in N.E. Alabama on Sand Mtn. Which is also part of the Appalachian mtns. My husband was in the Navy for the first 7 years of our marriage, so we traveled all over the US, both coasts, Rocky Mtns, and then the Gulf coast. Anyway, I was laughed at and made fun of for my accent many times, but when people got to know me, realized I was educated, not a moonshiner and not married to a relative we could become friends. Forty some odd years later, we have friends from all over the country that we stay in touch with.
    Just wanted to say, hello neighbor, we enjoy watching y'all living your lives just like we do.

He is a very handsome and funny guy, and you are a very pretty lady. There are just some people who are very unhappy with life or just plain miserable. Don’t ever let them bring you and your sweet spirit down. I love you and your whole family. Remind me so much of my family. GOD bless you all.

    I really appreciate this kind of video. You are amazing and such a fantastic way to handle questions/challenges/etc. Easy rule of thumb: never let someone have power over your emotions. In particular, random people you don't know.
    I grew up in a rural setting and my family never locked the doors, never expected people to call before visiting, etc. My wife, she came from the city and expects people to call before coming over, etc. Different cultures. My family had an open fridge rule (ie. if you are in the house you can access the fridge (unless you are a kid)) and you are considered family. I love that kind of culture personally.
