You should do a bookshelf tour, or maybe just go through some good writing on national parks, nature, preservation, etc

LOL… Had to dive into "climate change" BS that has, to date, not occurred - and won't. Climate change is a crock. Ignore the fear--mongering and enjoy resilient nature.

The only book that tells the history of the Earth is The Holy Bible

You inspired me to put congaree on my priority list. I’m frequently in the region and have wanted to visit but didn’t feel a strong enough urge to drive the extra distance. Avid birder and ecology nerd so it should be a treat. Thanks, great video.

it was not a charitable donation, it was a ridiculous boondoggle and they got rid of it asap.

Anytime the government gets involved in anything they screw it up somehow.

Great video I watched all the way up to the climate change portion.

Not if project 2025 happens, there's plans to sell off our national parks to private interests.

At most ancient prehistóric EONS level of sea was much higher! ruclips.net/video/JPXMofwNubE/видео.htmlsi=VFhO_VpxOlvOFG_e

Only truly wealthy American, Asian and Europeans will ever visit this region. Most of mankind will never see Alaska. Except O&G and mining geologists, who would want to? frozen, dark and bug infested all year long.

Thanks!

Great video

Aren’t you done taking land? Leave people’s property alone!

I looooooove the NP brochures!!! I always get 2 at each park. One, to use the map incessantly while visiting the park all day and to read the in depth info at night. By the end of my visits this one is usually destroyed. And the second pristine brochure goes up on my garage wall as a trophy.

Tam E am E

So sad. And it does change how I feel about Shenandoah

Just wanted to add one more comment on this video. We are talking about official measurements here. Mount Rainier and Mount Baker are definitely one of the snowiest places in the world. With that being said there are other locations nearby in both the Washington Cascades and Olympics and British Columbia stretching into SE Alaska where it is believed that 1500 + inch snowfalls in season have occurred. It’s just we don’t have any official measurements. Also keep in mind that the heaviest snowfall normally occurs right along the arctic boundary. The Pacific Northwest is extremely wet in the winter time which translates to snow at high elevations. I keep seeing comments about cities in Northern Japan such as Aomori. These are snowiest large “inhabited” cities that are snowy. They are not the snowiest places on Earth and definitely anot as snowy as the mountains of the PNW which can see snowfall every month of the year.

The US Corps of Engineers fucks up everything it touches!

Great job of educating people about these places and their importance. The first time we encountered this idea was at the north rim of the Grand Canyon quite a few years ago now. I know it changed our family's perspective. Now we often seek them out as we travel.

Hi 👋, U failed 😞 let people know that black Men were able to escort the rich elite through the tunnels!Facts👍🏿

YT essay. tl;then don't read it You have to remember that the US spent 100 years deporting Chinese and asian immigrants who lived out west and would have developed it the way any major city developed. It's not just that native people were displaced but that tens of thousands of settlers were displaced by evolving bureaucracy that endures to this day. Tens of thousands of people whose descendants could never inherit their sense of belonging and place by being born into it. People who'd need someplace to live and would build communities to reflect their values, shared or exceptional. Personally I think that class boundaries are more substantial than [secular watered down] religion or ethnicity and that the working class sabotaged its own numbers in the 19th Century which gave oligarchs the ability to truly take over the state. This led to the formation of populism and decades later the progressive labor reform, even if we're made to be antagonists in modern times. Before the Federal Reserve Act and before we dropped the gold standard, these higher population numbers would have contributed to a free market where you could leave one industry and start another. By enforcing anti-immigration, shifting slavery sourcing to incarceration and establishing a federal mandate (the Union, interstate rendition, etc) states would also create labor shortages that were a boon for those who already best positioned to get those jobs. Jobs that just decades earlier would have gone to immigrant labor or wealthy slave owners that functioned like modern day temp staffing. We don't really talk about how much wealth was stolen from other laborers by commercial slavery since the atrocity in and of itself is more than enough to grapple with, but I'm trying to appeal to the sort of 'capitalist' who fancies themselves a self-made, hard working person who would now justify incarceration based labor as if it doesn't affect their job prospects as much as illegal immigration and under the table hiring. Obviously immigration and labor markets are different now that the US has a debt based economy organized by a private bank. But I don't know that the free spirit of the wild west ever went away. We don't really care about labor laws, or citizenship or nationalism (or therefore the Constitution or the nation itself). Offshoring, deficit spending, foreign subsidies, we clearly don't care. Or more accurately, the virtue signaling by sects of alienated working people is insufficient to overcome the vision of exploitation that commits ethnic cleansing (from Tuscaloosa to Tulsa) and maintains control of the "public" through media coercion. Those billionaires are just like us! They also have work ethic! They didn't construct a public-private monopoly to print so much money that it devalued the dollar out of existence! So what if interest payments on the national debt now exceed the defense budget? So what if inflation has shifted the tax burden from the management class to the working class rather than just abolishing debt and abolishing taxes... Point is, you've always been free to take someone else's stuff in America. You can do it with financial leverage, with propaganda and bureaucracy, or with material leverage and brute force. We're just the ones being colonized and have to hope they don't take after our ancestors and establish immigration reform that displaces people out of the Buffalo Commons.

Don't believe the whites version of history. Death Valley used to be a giant lake before the whites had conquered the West Coast. That was back when Tulare Lake was full from North to South California and back when the San Andreas fault line did not exist yet. White Lies.

No other country burns through more of earth's natural resources. Second isn't even close.

Live 2 miles from there.

Nature should be subjected to our will. We too are animals on this Earth and all animals on this Earth subjugate nature to thier will. We are just better at it.

We need state representatives and leaders that know about the Everglades. We as a state should come together and work to protect the Everglades. I wouldn’t want to live in Florida if we let ourselves neglect it into disappearing

I love your videos I could listen to you all day. Greetings from Germany!

The Ocmulgee National Park is a great idea. The corridor along the Ocmulgee River has great historical, cultural, and natural areas. The Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and Browns Mount have not been adequately made accessible while conserving the area. The Georgia wildlife management areas are a joke. Very few Georgians in this are even know that they exist and if you go there...well, let's say it's not well kept. It is an area of many bird species, alligators, black bear, deer, raccoons, opossums, snakes, wild hogs and great fishing. A National Park and Preserve designation would protect the area while allowing accessibility. And most importantly, the collaboration with the Muscogee Creek is so very important to tell the story of the indigenous people of the Southeast.

I love this park and I’m there a lot and I love learning The different history of those mountains!! Makes me appreciate the walks more

Your knowledge is amazing. You hv a nice way to put a v complex subject into something easily digestible

I just saw 4 redwolf pups yesterday. It was amazing to see them running around playing. I could see them getting mistaken as coyote.

Noice!

And they're still ruining it by spraying Lake Okeechobee.

As your mom, you cease to amaze me with your generous heart, kind and gentle spirit. Your love of educating the world on National Parks shows in your delivery and in your smile. I am so very proud of you!

This wasn't nerdy at all! You shared your love for a beautiful country that not a lot of people have the opportunity to visit. We were fortunate enough to spend some time there and share your same enthusiasm. Great video!

I absolutely loved this video. I felt like I just traveled back in time. Japan is a special place for sure. So very thankful I had the opportunity to visit. I saw a lot of familiar places in your video.

Excellent video! I love your content and learning something new with each video you make.

You show how John D., Rockefeller, Jr. didn't just plunk down money here and there but used his power shrewdly to promote the projects he believed in. I've heard similar stories about Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters in New York City and of course Colonial Williamsburg. I'd love to hear more about his role St. John in the Virgin Islands and other national parks.

Wallace Beery not Beaty. I concur with the other commenters that you have excelled at telling this important story.

I completely get what you mean about being at a site and seeing where things actually happened -- to feel a connection not only with place but of history. Recently, I visited Omaha Beach in Normandy and walked out on the beach to the waterline so I could turn around and see it from the visual perspective of the soldiers coming ashore on D-Day.

Awesome perspective on these less appreciated parks. It’s easy to inspire people to want to see the pristine nature of the parks, but you certainly know how to create a sense of wanderlust for these historical gems. Loving the new vids this year

More like the Kruger of Europe ❤

This is where I grew up, it’s a awesome place to visit on your trips.

Thanks for this video. Very informative.

"There's only one Everglade in the world" That's not true there's two there's 1 in Noosa Queensland, I've been.

lol redwoods can and have handled chainsaws. in fact most of the trees we see today come from the same ancient root base in the form of baseless sprouts, which is why the forest was able to recover so quick. now we just have to make sure people dont compact the fluffy lush soil of their forest.

Thanks.

Awesome video! We have been to several of the places visited in the video and felt the same awe as you in feeling a part of history. One of your most informative videos! Thanks for posting.

Thanks pretty cool place

Thanks. Alot of good information
