      Saying gives back kind of cheapens what Seth is doing. He is doing charitable work!

    All the people who dedicate their whole day to serving the community during times like these, they need more than our respect. They need national support.

    I live in Western NC... I was blessed with people that wanted to help me after the hurricane... Someone donated 2 dehumidifiers, a new hot water heater and stove... As well as $100 food lion gift card... I'm so thankful and grateful to those people... Thank you ❤

    Wow Seth! I love how You Tube allows people like you, Jimmy, Sean and so many others help out in ways like this! Please keep doing video updates as a lot of the world has already forgotten about western NC. I will watch every single video like this as much as I would watch one of your biking oriented ones🙂

  • @eaglescout1984
    @eaglescout1984 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    That's so awesome. I did what I could by spending a few days this week down there. I personally met people with damaged roofs in Marion, Hendersonville, and NW Asheville/Leicester; a couple with a massive amount of trees in their yard and on top of their cars; and people whose homes were flooded in Black Mountain and Old Fort. There's so much need and so much work to do. I really hope I get the opportunity to go back and I hope a lot more people get involved.

  • @RenBobbins
    @RenBobbins 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Seeing that town in that condition is absolutely gut wrenching. Imagine if that were your home. You grow used to seeing it as a thriving community with beautiful features, and a disaster comes through and reduces it to piles of rubble everywhere. That rubble was once part of those people’s lives. Clothes, books, baby furniture, little kid’s precious toys.
    That hurts to look at. I wish i could hug every last one of them.

      I was also reminded of that. I remember how people drove there to help clean up, how there was a giant donation fund.
      Man people are actually good deep down. Seeing how with every tragedy people come together and help makes me feel better about the world. Even with so many death and destruction there's still love

    Hey Seth- I just returned from serving over the last week with Samaritan's Purse in the Asheville, Arden, Black Montain and Swannanoa areas. The devastation is worse than what has been reported and sadly, seems to be falling out of the news cycle. I've watched most of your maintenance videos and had hoped to stop by and meet you in person but there just wasn't time and I'm now back in Washington State. Thanks for helping to support your community and shed some light on the ongoing relief efforts there. I plan to be back there with SP as soon as I can. Godbless....

    Thank you to what you and guys like Jimmy are doing. Seeing WNC like this is such a heart break. Growing up my parents had a cabin in Lake lure and as an adult I would go up once or twice a year to Black Mountain, Swannanoa, & Waynesville for a week at a time to ride and hike. I was ready to move there in 2021 but ended up in the PNW instead but I always wanted to make one last move back there. While I cant be there in person to help, I will definately be sending something that way to do what I can. Thank you again for all the help to those wonderful people.

  • @lolno6465
    @lolno6465 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Decided to look at what this channel is up to nowadays and wow i am not regretting this.
    I'm really sorry to all the people who are affected. Seth is a solid dude, helping his community in these times. I hope that everyone can actually recover from this and that people will get the help they need to rebuild and get back on track. All of that is something i can barely imagine.
    Seth dude you really are an inspiration. Especially in times like these its kind people like you who are the backbone of society. I have been so cynical recently because of the state kf the world and private issues and watching this i genuinely feel inspired to get out there and start helping my community. If there's not good out there then i need to be the good. Thanks for leading as a good example

I used to live in Johnson city, tn and the town I jumped off for a lot adventure Erwin was hit just as bad. The people in the places you live give you life. Your right we are strangely affected in the devastation knowing the people and places we lived have been affected

    @MrDocSeus 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I’ve been doing some work in an area nearby when I can get time off (Old Fort). Thousands of septic systems and sewer pipes compromised. People cleaning themselves in and around the creek. Lack of any kind of sanitary solutions. Can’t trust city water. It’s about to get cold and things will go dormant but the spring and summer will be a biological disaster up there. It’s no surprise people are getting sick from the dust. It’s absolutely everywhere. It really hasn’t rained since it happened and it’s just all kicked up so easily. It’s going to be years of recovery. WNC strong!!!

    The whole road right there at old 70 was destroyed and tore up. I live right there off that road and it was completely underwater. The water went from Bee Tree to the Harely Davidson dealership.

Lots of the places I have had memories are now just gone, no one really saw it coming, we all have seen the areas flood from rain just nothing to this extreme.
