I loved standing next to the Giant Sherman. I can't remember how many homes it would build but it was incredible. I drove my pick-up truck through the one that tourists are allowed as well. Redwoods are massive.
wow, this is totally nice to follow your trip and your friendly voice! thanx, brother! i am touched by this beauty you show, my heart goes BOOM and little teardrops... must be an old indian soul in me, as inner pictures just start speeding and ritual songs i can listen in my cells by watching your clip... wow... my hugs & best wishes for you!!!!! greetings from berlin, germany
Holy shit. I live in crescent city, James Irvine Grove is like 30 minutes away! Damn, if I'd have known I would have pestered him to get a beer or somethin! The redwoods around here are absolutely beautiful. I'm glad he got a chance to admire them. It's a small world.
I've driven through the red woods a few times. There is an area where a road goes through the middle of a tree trunk. One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever been!
Hey cool, my dad was just in that area on vacation last week. It also happens to be the heart of Sasquatch territory. When he was down there, my dad spent a day swimming in the creek where that famous Patterson-Gimlin film was taken in '67.
I love walking through old growth forest like that, we have some great spots on Vancouver Island that have HUGE red cedars and douglas firs, sitka spruce, they are so big it takes 6 or 7 people or hug them, fingertip to fingertip. come to the island, you're only a days drive away!!!! we can go hug a few trees and have a pint!
Good call, tf00t. Fear of rickety support is not cowardice, it's healthy situational judgment and self-preservation. We already know too well that it's not the height you're worried about.
Sequoia sempervirens, the coastal redwood it the tallest tree. Sequoiadendron giganteum, or giant redwood is the largest living organism...I was once told. Then I read about a fungus that grows in Oregon and another that grown in Germany that are the most massive of all living organisms. Cool stuff F00t!
I've just realized.. TF needs to get a series on the Discovery Channel. They've got to have a few disposable shows they could drop to pay TF to go around the world showing us natural wonders.
Truly amazing stuff here Thunderf00t! I only wish that I could be there to experience this myself. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and by the way, your discussion with Ray Comfort was great! ^^
LMAO, I loved you're little gamer moment of Predator Vision. Our whole notion of scale sort of fails us with things that big. You can be impressed by big trunks, but looking up eventually the angly is such that you get only a vague notion of height.
I want Thunderf00t to write the ultimate naturalist travel-guide to the western USA. I would read the hell out of that book. And then I'd actually have a good reason to visit the states.
His description of the death of sound in the forest reminds me of the same feeling I had on a mountain range in central Mexico. When we got to the top of the mountain, no sound from below was loud enough to reach the top. No wind blew. It's actually a bit uncomfortable to hear your own heartbeat so clearly. Silence becomes stifling.
Especially Vancouver Island.Cathedral Grove has some nice ones still.There's a stump there that has some historical events lined up with it's rings.I think jesus is about 2/3rds of the way in.2500 years old.
If you are into the awesome power of nature, come to BC and check out the forest fires... such power! The fire seems alive and breathing the sky... it's so hot the soil becomes fuel - the ground actually burns... the sky glows red in the middle of the night with the tongues of fire skipping from tree to tree! So scary. So beautiful. A wooden volcano.
Amazing I wish I could be there myself. Haha reading some of the other comments, Predator & Ewoks, truly nature is mans greatest inspiration. Its too bad were destroying it.
Interestingly, the girls you met were likely "scholars" of a church in Redding that is affiliated with my former church (the last I went to before becoming an atheist). There's a church there that has a "ministry school" that trains people how to lay on hands and prophesy and speak in tongues and such. A friend of mine went there.
That's just awesome. ...Have you done a video on the details of dendrochronology, yet, TF? I'll look later, when I can risk getting sucked into reliving the massive awesome of your other videos.
Its capable of growing even taller than the redwoods AFAIK, we just cut them all down. We used to have one that was the tallest tree in the world, until lightning hit it and took the top off.
There was scene in the movie called in to the wild and in the movie the guy walked on a fallen tree just like that in forest with giant trees. I wonder if that's the forest they shot the movie in.
I'm going to keep a copy of my favourite Bible passages, so I can hand them out to girls like this. Such a wonderful (non-existent) relationship with a (non-existent) God that's horrendous in every way? Makes me sad.
I think that Canada would be a good place for you to visit. There is very little people per the amount of land. A lot of things have been preserved because of this.
Yes it is. The largest tree is no longer the largest because the tourists who visited the area packed the ground so much that it hardened it and the top few meters of the tree died because of it. They won't tell people which one is the tallest for that reason.
isn't it supposed to be bad for the roots to walk that close to them, i know the put fences around the giant sequias in yosemite, or does the species there have deeper/ more robust roots?

I don't know when, and I don't know how, but I have to go there. Tf00t, you are right, indeed one of the most serene places on the planet.
wow, this is totally nice to follow your trip and your friendly voice! thanx, brother! i am touched by this beauty you show, my heart goes BOOM and little teardrops... must be an old indian soul in me, as inner pictures just start speeding and ritual songs i can listen in my cells by watching your clip... wow... my hugs & best wishes for you!!!!! greetings from berlin, germany

Thx TF for reminding me of the beauty of that place. I was there in 2002, it is truely a magniffercent place.
Hey cool, my dad was just in that area on vacation last week.
It also happens to be the heart of Sasquatch territory. When he was down there, my dad spent a day swimming in the creek where that famous Patterson-Gimlin film was taken in '67.
Thanks for sharing! Those of us who are housebound with families appreciate your mobility and talent for video.
You've pretty much gone on the road trip I've fantasized about for a while. The redwoods have always held my fascination.
This is one of the few things in a long time that made my lower jaw hit the ground. Just awsome.
6:51 "Yes, there is. Follow me!" that was cute, he sounded very enthusiastic :). Epic forest, you could almost live in a hollow tree like that :P
I love walking through old growth forest like that, we have some great spots on Vancouver Island that have HUGE red cedars and douglas firs, sitka spruce, they are so big it takes 6 or 7 people or hug them, fingertip to fingertip.
come to the island, you're only a days drive away!!!! we can go hug a few trees and have a pint!
sequoia! i seen them a long time ago, in british columbia, the most beautiful thing i ever saw in my life!! THEY ARE JUST MAJESTIC!
Good call, tf00t. Fear of rickety support is not cowardice, it's healthy situational judgment and self-preservation. We already know too well that it's not the height you're worried about.
I've always wanted to go see the redwoods, but I live on the opposite side of the country.
Thanks for posting this it's amazing.
Absolutely amazing - thanks for the video - I would love to visit but I am rooted this side of the Atlantic!
I got to see these in BC here in Canada. Brilliant forests.
Sequoia sempervirens, the coastal redwood it the tallest tree.
Sequoiadendron giganteum, or giant redwood is the largest living organism...I was once told.
Then I read about a fungus that grows in Oregon and another that grown in Germany that are the most massive of all living organisms.
Cool stuff F00t!
Wonderful TF. Appreciate your sharing. The shot from that precarious perch was scary. I'm glad you didn't go any further up.
spent quite a bit of time in the Sequoia park in SE CA and I share your astonishment and wonder at the size of those monsters....
First Yosemite, now the Redwoods...I've visited both these places last summer :D
Interesting seeing my hero trace the same steps I did.
I've just realized.. TF needs to get a series on the Discovery Channel. They've got to have a few disposable shows they could drop to pay TF to go around the world showing us natural wonders.
lol. Thunderf00t is awsome! He's like a kid going on the tree man. Awsome PHD
Killer Predator impression.
What a fantastic place to explore.
Truly amazing stuff here Thunderf00t! I only wish that I could be there to experience this myself. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and by the way, your discussion with Ray Comfort was great! ^^
The north California coast is my favorite, and The most beautiful place on earth.
Predator and LOTR references in one video! This is truly special.
LMAO, I loved you're little gamer moment of Predator Vision.
Our whole notion of scale sort of fails us with things that big. You can be impressed by big trunks, but looking up eventually the angly is such that you get only a vague notion of height.
Looks amazing. I must visit this place!
I haven't been there since 1986!!!
Nice!
Damn I would love to wander around those state parks someday.
That's really amazing. That place is actually on my list of places to go before I die.
I want Thunderf00t to write the ultimate naturalist travel-guide to the western USA. I would read the hell out of that book. And then I'd actually have a good reason to visit the states.
So amazing! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this with us!!! :)

Nice predator reference! lol I love how awed you get in these places thunderf00t, I'm the very same in places of such beauty.
I visited there a few years back.
Amazing place.
Looks like Endor. Beautiful.
Especially Vancouver Island.Cathedral Grove has some nice ones still.There's a stump there that has some historical events lined up with it's rings.I think jesus is about 2/3rds of the way in.2500 years old.
and if your heart stops beating, absolute silence
you find all the coolest places to visit
Nature's skyscrapers. Great video as always, Thunderf00t.
I would so climb one off those mtfkers,
love tree climbing
If you are into the awesome power of nature, come to BC and check out the forest fires... such power!

Sounds like my kinda place; peace and quiet.
I applaud you awesome Star Wars reference
Incredible.
You're making me homesick for the west.
Amazing I wish I could be there myself.
Haha reading some of the other comments, Predator & Ewoks, truly nature is mans greatest inspiration.
Its too bad were destroying it.
Nice trees, but the Predator sound was the best part :)
Cool commentary. Really dramatic, and your excitement made me excited too.
TF you have too much fun lol. I wish I could have gone with you on this trip.
2:34 is the best part ever. So awesome.
Fabulous.
Quite interesting.
Cool beauty, bro.
I lol'd at the predator bit. I got the whale tooth bit right :D
Amazing trees. Thanks.

very nice
Fantastic. I love tall trees. Cutting them down shows the selfish & greedy side of human nature.
Glad you sorted out the false DMCA's TF :)
That's just awesome.
...Have you done a video on the details of dendrochronology, yet, TF?
I'll look later, when I can risk getting sucked into reliving the massive awesome of your other videos.
yet another great vid my dear friend
Its capable of growing even taller than the redwoods AFAIK, we just cut them all down.
We used to have one that was the tallest tree in the world, until lightning hit it and took the top off.
Going anywhere in western Washington? I would love to try to join in an outdoors excursion.
Great keep it up!
great video
TFoot's voice sounds so reverent when he talks about the trees.
awesome
You need to go the the Trees of Mystery visitors center and touch Babe the big blue ox's massive dangling balls.
:)
haha!
There was scene in the movie called in to the wild and in the movie the guy walked on a fallen tree just like that in forest with giant trees. I wonder if that's the forest they shot the movie in.
Thunderf00t would make a great narrator on National Geographic, haha.
And if your heart stops beating, you won't hear anything because you'll be dead.
Come check out "Big Tree" in Oregon man. Put those trees to shame!
keep up the good work, tf00t
haha love the predator part
so envious of your amazing travels
Yup... hard to believe thats what we made malted milk powder out of Baleen.
I'm going to keep a copy of my favourite Bible passages, so I can hand them out to girls like this.
Such a wonderful (non-existent) relationship with a (non-existent) God that's horrendous in every way? Makes me sad.
lolz at thunder feet....
lol, Thunderf00t does kinda sound like a name for a Predator
#UN# I sm curious to get your take on the State of the Union. I hsve mine posted now....
Intense ★★★★★
gosh I love those vids
Lol, predator bit was so funny when you changed the colour of the video ha ha
I think that Canada would be a good place for you to visit. There is very little people per the amount of land. A lot of things have been preserved because of this.
holy crap that movie haunted my childhood. although the predator prolly subs tfoot nowadays haha
Predator! lol! Beautiful scenery...
Haha, that predator allusion was awesome...
Thunerf00t in woods, watch out for bigfoot man.
Yes it is. The largest tree is no longer the largest because the tourists who visited the area packed the ground so much that it hardened it and the top few meters of the tree died because of it. They won't tell people which one is the tallest for that reason.
were you up in Oregon? i stood on a felled tree that was wider then i am tall, it was awesome.
isn't it supposed to be bad for the roots to walk that close to them, i know the put fences around the giant sequias in yosemite, or does the species there have deeper/ more robust roots?
Don't steve erwin on us T-foot. We need you to fight the superstitious.
Anyone know the music used at the end of this (and a few others on this channel, actually) video?
Holy shit, TF's the Predator!
Yes, cause he can hear it.
This is going to make DPR crap his pants.
If Thunderf00t falls in the woods, does he make a sound?
Love the predator reference!
I love you ThunderFoot! ;)
nice video! damn, those trees are big! not as big as qdragon's balls, but still...
