    I visited the Albright Grove myself one week ago today. It feels like a hidden cathedral. Sacred ground where few have set foot. Beneath the giants you can't help but whisper. I'm about 99.9% sure that's what you've documented here. Massive tulip poplars! I wish you'd been able to document them fully but love the storytelling in your video.

    My family has been in Appalachia for 300 years. It is part of me. My father taught me the ways of the woods from the time I could walk. Some of my favorite memories of these rainforests. Most people don't understand how thick the forest gets during high growth periods. It can just swallow buildings. I always hope my home will be wild and free.

    The first and only time I had the pleasure of experiencing quiet was on the shore of Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park just before dawn. Jackson airport didn't have any flights come in, and no one else was there. The only word that can just barely describe it was serenity. Good luck on the quiet zoning folks.

    It's still a poor region today, but the feel of WNC is the reason I don't want to leave. I live, and was raised in Franklin. I have a small piece of this literally out my back door. It sickens me to know that certain politicians in the state would rather gain money instead of saving our ecosystem. They want to get rid of state park and monument protections across the country and sell them off to developers and oil magnates, as indicated by their Project 2025 manifesto. If they succeed, places like the Smokies will be deforested. The very people that keep voting for those despots will be the first ones affected. The SCOTUS rulings as of late are just the precursors.

    i'm from east-central KY in the Appalachian portion, and i absolutely love this part of the country. its plum full of natural beauty here, everywhere you look. i always thought it was special here, but this video really brings it home for me. Appalachia is magical, y'all, i can't even describe in words what this wild land is like. we don't have the temperate rain forest part, far as i know, but we do have big stretches of nothin but forest and mountain for miles and miles, dotted with little settlements and hollers tucked up where y'can't see em. in the western portion, it's a bit flatter, getting closer to the central portion of KY it starts to get real hilly, real fast, lol. there's so much wildlife and nature all around. so much better than honking horns, asphalt, sirens, screaming people, and buildings that blot out the sky. i'm going to start taking dashcam videos coming in and out of my holler, there's other creators doing that but, i think it's nice for people to see what kinda beauty we got all around us here, what our morning commute looks like every day and what a holler looks like, the anatomy of it, what sights you're liable to see here, and the real people who live there. its such a great region though, can't say enough good things about good ole Kentucky :)

    Silence is the main reason I go camping in non official camping grounds. People go camping with loud generators, boats, chainsaws, radios and are just being loud in general. Winter is even quieter from where I'm from, since most people that aren't enthusiastic campers tend to stay out of forests in cold temperatures and unplowed trails. Snowmobiles that can go quite deep but usually they don't camp so nights are incredibly silent. Even the night sky is getting more and more polluted with satellites (namely Starlink) and cities/people using incredibly strong LEDs to light up their driveway all night long. All this comes down to respect. Respect for the nature around you, recognizing you're visiting an incredibly old entity that was there for milennias before you came. It doesn't need you and it probably doesn't want you either so being as quiet as possible really is a for of recognition that you're only an unwanted guest. The forest didn't called you in; you imposed your presence. Respect for other guests around you that have understood this and act accordingly. Respect for the animals. If you want to be in contact with fauna, just shut the hell up, look and listen. You'll see and hear, guaranteed. Just ask a hunter how he feels about his mate next to him cracking a beer and eating chips... Thanks for this video! I hope it's "ear opening" to people, even more so to new people who wants to go out camping for the first time in a long time or ever... Public forests aren't you're property; you're a unwanted guest. Remember this.
