I'm from West Virginia and most recently lived in Morgantown. I miss it every day it's much simpler and everyone is a lot more pleasant! Loved growing up in the mountains such a beautiful place.
That is awesome. I did see someone else post about going to Helvetia for Fasnacht. They said the towns people are well aware of Fallout and they welcome Fallout fans, but they are concerned that their tradition of Fasnacht will become an "All Fallout Convention". Hopefully that won't happen, I would hate to see their small town tradition get overtaken by Fallout and lose the original meaning.
I don't think Fallout fans would let that happen. I had a great conversation in learning about their traditions and in the same avenue they asked more about Fallout. It was a lot of fun for sure and can't wait to go back. 🤘
Yeah I wouldn’t worry about that too much, anyone who takes the time to travel that far or take time out of their lives to attend an event like this knows the importance of respect and community
My take on this: Fasnacht Fallout masks? Cool. Cosplaying Fallout is a big no. That will ruin the festival and warp it into a FO convention. You gotta be respectful of the areas cultural norms.
@@CoreReaper1 yeaaah I did find it a bit odd that there were people dressed up in BoS stuff but maybe that’s just their way of repping some fallout merch while enjoying the festival .. you know, not intending to be related to the festival as it’s just what they chose to wear that day to let other fallout fans who are present know that they play the game too .. wasn’t there an NCR ranger or am I tripping? That definitely has no place there as much as I hate to sound like I’m gatekeeping Nothing stops the community of Helvetia from announcing that they would like to keep all future faschnact events strictly to its intended purpose but I like to think the increased attendance brings the town some more money if it helps them in any way
Your definitely going to love Berkley Springs! When I was driving for Swift I had to drive through west Virginia and berkley Springs was part of the route I had to take for my delivery. I also drove past the Charleston Capitol Building while on the highway and it was very neat to see one of my favorite areas in 76 in real life.
If you have the chance to go let me know and we will be there. It really is some fun and such a good trip because we are out in the air but also getting to nerd out over stuff in 76. 🤘
You kids so make me want to make this trip next year ! So glad you got to see RL Appalachia and its relation to the game, its truly a magical weird place lol. Your life will never be the same dude..... the Shiney Hiney has blessed you! 😂💖
Do it 🤘 It would be awesome to hang out with you during the event. All hail the mothman 💙🤘 Where did that come from? Oh no I can feel him in my brain 😂
My cousins showed off their masks at a family reunion once when I was a kid. Until fallout I didn’t even know what it was I’m from just outside of Beckley irl
I’m super EXTRA EXCITED for you guys!! So happy you could experience the event and make some amazing memories together! Yay you guys! Great fun! Aloha and hula hugs!
So happy to see you enjoyed your time in my home state! I live near the New River Gorge and my lady and I also plan to attend next year, if you'd like to check out another prominent POI from the game, give me a shout and I can fill you in on all the good spots!
I wanna get a pic next to that statue!! It would be fun to post it next to one of my character in camp next to the one in camp, like a side by side! I like that fallout incorporates real world stuff, that is so fun! Especially the cryptids, all of them are from the same time period in the same area! I love reading up on the ones I've never heard of!
You should def. do that bud and let me know when you do 🤘 I can't wait to go back up there. I really love how much they pulled from the lore and surrounding areas to put in the game. 🤘
Awesome, loved this! So glad you had fun, would have loved to come across the pond for this! Bit too far and expensive sadly in current times, but so awesome to see that the Fasnacht thing was actually real and going strong in WV! I thought it was only in Sweden that this was celebrated as it originated there apparently but very cool to see it's elsewhere and dam I would love to visit this locations that we have in game but in real life. :D
It is amazing that they carried the tradition over to the US and it was so much fun learning about the culture and being able to talk with Fallout fans. It def. would be a little expensive for sure for yall to come across the pond but maybe one day we can have you over at the event.
Thank you for showing us this awesome place. So glad you both had such a good time. Looks like the creators of FO did a brilliant job of replicating Helvetia.
I live in west virginia and will say they did a good job of recreating everything. I didnt realise fasnacht irl was last weekend. I really wanna visit the flatwoods monster museum. The mothman museum was really cool.
When I started to play FO76, right from start, I thought all elements were made up. Sure, I knew about the Mothman, but I didn't know it originated in West Virginia. Sure, Fasnacht is celebrated all over the western world, but I didn't know Helvetia was in West Virginia, nor that it had a strong Fasnacht tradition. When I learned that some elements were taken from real life, I started to research them, I was also directed to a documentary series about West Virginia when the FO76 forums still existed. It's wonderful to explore all the many real life relations and being there is surely the best. Now, it's surely really interesting the other way around, too. Living in West Virginia, also knowing the place and its history (and supposed future) well, then starting to play FO76.
I love it! This is so cool! I'm from South Jersey. So not that far. Several hours in a car. I HAVE to make this trip one year. Hope to see you there some year!
Awesome!! Looks like you and the wifey had an absolute blast!! Would love to visit West Virginia and check out all the FO76 locations but such a long way from the land down under……maybe one day 😆
It was such a great crowd and yeah it was such a great time getting to meet Maw, Dumplin, Knight, Sassy, Ginger, AOL, BV, Penn, and more. It was so much fun and you should come by next time bud.
I can hardly wait for next years video. There are two of you content creators who made the trip to West Virginia now, yourself and Rifle Gaming. But I'm hear to comment on you reading the names of all your sponsors, or more correctly the cadence you use. It suddenly hit me that it sounded like the song, "I've Been Everywhere" by Johnny Cash. If you do karaoke that song would be perfect. Not a lot of people can talk so fast yet make the pronunciations so clear. 👍👍
After going I watched Rifle's video and loved how it has grown and changed in some ways for efficiency. I was trying to keep myself from being spoiled on what to expect while there. If you can def. come by next year I think it will be a lot of fun and I am excited. I do love me some Johnny Cash and grew up listening to him and so many more folks. It normally takes me a few takes to get everything fast and coherent so I appreciate you for saying that bud. 🤘💙
Well that was in reference to talking in conversations with people and having folks full attention when talking to folks instead of them thinking about social media but I guess I didn't make that as clear as I thought I did. 🤘 The mask are def cool for sure.
The weather was supposed to be rainy but it held off and wound up being around 50 or so this year. The previous year it was snowing and such around the event 🤘
It was a great time for sure. Well I can understand why they do it. I have been nuked twice while being afk but no worries I just jump servers and don't let it faze me. 🤘
I quit fallout 76, its just gotten too ridiculous, but ill always have memories of my my hours spent into the game, i plan on moving to west virginia soon, hope i can attend the real event and eat good food, nice vid man
She just recently got into the series and asked which one she should start with so I got her going with Fallout 4. I am hopeful about getting her into Fallout 76 soon 🤘

It really is beautiful country and I can tell why you miss it. Appreciate you being here bud 🤘

Hell yeah bro!! How fun I’m glad you had a good time bro!!
It really was amazing for sure and def. something I can't wait to do again 🤘

If you come next year stop by Fairmont and I'll show you around Prickett's Fort. It is a lot different than in game.

It appears that y'all had a blast.
It really was a great time for sure 🤘
What a great crowd!

It was such a great crowd and yeah it was such a great time getting to meet Maw, Dumplin, Knight, Sassy, Ginger, AOL, BV, Penn, and more. It was so much fun and you should come by next time bud.

Tells eveyone no one was on there phones and comes back with videos and pictures from his phone but omg I lov3d those masks they looked so cool
Well that was in reference to talking in conversations with people and having folks full attention when talking to folks instead of them thinking about social media but I guess I didn't make that as clear as I thought I did. 🤘 The mask are def cool for sure.
Awesome story!
Thanks bud and appreciate you being here 🤘
It was fun but I don’t stayed long I had to go back up to morgantown
Oh dang didn't know you were there bud 🤘
Awesome!
Appreciate you being here bud 🤘
It was great to see you bud
Same bud it was great to hang out 🤘💙
Looks like a very nice place in Helvetia. Ironically it does not look very cold at the event. Was it below freezing during the Fasnacht?
The weather was supposed to be rainy but it held off and wound up being around 50 or so this year. The previous year it was snowing and such around the event 🤘
Ya gotta show us the palace of the winding path
It def. is a location I would love to visit 🤘
No Fatmans were used in the making of this video. :)
That just made me giggle 🤘😂
Fun IRL Fact: Morgantown has the unconstitutional ATF paper records storage facility.
I honestly know nothing about this topic.
Glad to hear they have chased out the scorched. Those guys are not good for the tourism bureau.
The fight is ever going will you do your part?
Your wife is so pretty 🥰
Appreciate you bud 🤘
Looks like a great time.
I find it absolutely hilarious that players are nuking the AFK bots farming the event. 🤣
It was a great time for sure. Well I can understand why they do it. I have been nuked twice while being afk but no worries I just jump servers and don't let it faze me. 🤘
did you do the mothman dance?
I will have to next year 🤘
I quit fallout 76, its just gotten too ridiculous, but ill always have memories of my my hours spent into the game, i plan on moving to west virginia soon, hope i can attend the real event and eat good food, nice vid man
If you do go to one of the events let me know as the wife and I are going to try to go to them in the future again. 🤘
@@Fargassier definitely I hope to see as many fans of the game and exploration there
It's not truely Fallout unless folks were standing on the telephone poles.
What mutation would you take in real life?
gonna grab me a blue devil glowing mask please
I wish you the best of luck 🤘
Appreciate you bud 🤘💙
Does your wife play fallout
She just recently got into the series and asked which one she should start with so I got her going with Fallout 4. I am hopeful about getting her into Fallout 76 soon 🤘
@@Fargassieroh nice
All that walking and no glowing mask drops..
It was so much fun and excited to go back
I hope the actual town is very grateful for the enormous mob of Fanboys that show up every year now it's kind of funny😂
They actually are very happy with the extra attention on their culture and towns from what I gathered. 🤘
