Great job! I was in Toccoa in 2015 for 6 months. When l got up to the top l was amazed at the view until l saw all the graffiti! Its was so sad to see this and so disrespectful to those brave men. I am from England 🇬🇧. Thank you all for a job well done.

I couldn't help but grin and laugh a bit at the uphill/downhill. Just like Fort Knox! 3 notorious uphills on our final march. Agony, Misery, and Heartbreak. ...then my grin disappeared at the sheer amount of graffiti. That's not the way to leave your mark on the world. Glad you helped on this project.

As a veteran who served long after those that made Curahee sacred ground and of whom I admire as near gods, I can only say “thank you” from the depths of my soul.

Man this is amazing. Can nearly hear the yells of 'Hey Ho Silver' and rattling of water cans. Respect for cleaning those bare rocks and returning them to their former glory, doing the good Lord's work 🙏 God bless you all from Ireland.

It’s hard to imagine 70 or so years ago the men from easy company had to run up and down that hill. In all their gear etc. Good job to all x

Great job! Its such a shame that people have so little respect and have to deface the natural environment and disgrace our service men like that. Thanks again for all you do.

Thank all of you for the fantastic job done there. What an amazing video

I walked Currahee in April 22 as a fan of BoB from the UK. Really nostalgic but sad that there was some much graffiti at the summit. Thanks for what you have done and posting this video

Now i understand even more that the Airborne were elite. If you can do this running and with equipment you are elite

Also, as an adopted American, and a fellow human being, thank you so much for utilizing your project towards something that benefits, and thank you for the time and energy that you spend upon these projects and your viewers equally. It's all you can ask from any individual who creates.

Normally vlogs are not my thing at all but watching you get excited and everything just makes my heart warm and really enjoy the video

Welcome South, brother. Thank you for your service.

Just climbed that today. I was laughing because how you described it was so accurate. First two miles you’re like “this is easy”. The last mile makes you reconsider your life choices.

At 23 years old I still perked up at the sight of Smokey the Bear. Love the channel and happy to see so many people care about preserving the beauty of America’s natural landmarks enough to hike out there to clean in

Great work trying to restore the glory of a great place.

Awesome video man! Thanks for sharing this

Really enjoying your channel, mostly your reaction videos and had to say good on you both for the cleanup and making the hike up. Great video!

Love the double uploads lol, thanks for posting!

Many thanks to you, JD, and the rest for giving up your holiday weekend to honor the great heroes of the greatest generation. And of course, thank you to the heroes that trained there, fought, and many who did not return. I would loved to have been there, but dealing with some health issues. If there is a future event similar or additional tasks, I would be honored to join you all. God bless.

What a wonderful thing you were a part of, fantastic episode and job

When a trail goes up and down like that we hikers refer to it as a P.U.D. (Pointless up and down)

I'm so proud to be apart of this community! definitely my number 1 KZread channel:D all of your content is so great and the community is so wholesome and respectful. none of my friends or co-workers share a passion for history, and its really sad. coming home to spend hours going through your videos is the highlight of my day. keep it up and god bless you:D i love you and everyone who comments with their insight! have a wonderful day man! also, #FudgeWoodrowWilson

haha I'm a big hiker guy, here in ... Alsace. I regularly visit the"Vieil Armand" or HWK which is a big WWI former battledifeld as well as a military cemetary. I regularly find old bullets and on occasion other war related items, such as a german helmet. Now the key to being good at hiking is NOT being in shape. I'm so out of shape it's barely describable. Not fat, on the "too skinny to lift his own weight" side. The real key is to just ... do it. Take the pain. Catch your breath. The last hike I did was with a group of gym chads and they felt humiliated just watching my skeleton form breeze through the uphill path.

I hiked Mt Washington in New Hampshire every year for a few years. I was called the mountain goat. I had to confess to my hiking homies that when I went ahead, and then stopped to wait for them to catch up, I did it in the name of not leaving anyone behind, but in all practicality, I'm no mountain goat, and I needed to catch my breath. But hey, I'll play it off as I'm doing fine, and how are y'all doing?

I live around 6 miles from the top of Currahee Mountain. I drove over there,,, passing the Georgia State Patrol’s office with no driver’s license or tag. Just a hillbilly kid having fun.

You certainly have a way of choosing very fitting background music for your original content. I first noticed it in the video about the dam disaster. Very well done.

This was so chill, love it

Very cool. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Definitely a great group of people.

Nice job! Looks much better!

Thanks for showing this, it is a shame it has to be done, but glad someone is out there doing it.

Awesome video! You must be so proud to have completed the 3 miles up! 👍 amazing! 👌

I really enjoyed the adventures that guy goes on.

Amazing work

That has to be one amazing view. 😲

Awesome video man. Graffiti made me really upset but thank you for sacrificing your time to help and restore it. Absolutely gorgeous view. Drone footage was tight!

Looks great!

That new logo tho And thank you for helping to preserve history

I would have loved to have had you as a history teacher, you guys are always so nice

Fun fact I run this mountain everyday at least once sometimes 2 or 3 times up and down.

The before and after are amazing. The view is very beautiful

I'm watching this years later but i ran the hill with CIT program a summer camp i went too and we ended our training on Currahee. funny enough a month or so after you were there.

Wow , such a beautiful area.

You've done an amazing job. 👏

I finally drove up it today. I saw a guy coming back from a run to the top. There were quite a few cars up at the top. The road is passable in a low clearance car but barely. There were a few ruts on the steep sections. Massive view. To the North you can see a range of mountains and I couldn't quite figure out what they are. Possible Sassafras Mountain.

Such a shame people would desecrate this special place. Thank you for your hard work

Great video keep it up

I'm so glad you showed up in my recommended

Very cool video

Ohh. I am so dumb. That’s where the paratroopers were training jogging up the hill?! :O That’s awesome. I’m about four minutes in before I decided to read the description to gain some info of what the significance of the mountain was and I’m sure there’s more, but that’s awesome. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Band of Brothers (though I do have the dvd somewhere) but ever since, those scenes stuck with me. Especially when I’d go hiking/walking up and down a local hill, it’d always get me thinking about how difficult that must’ve truly been so looking forward to seeing the rest and seeing how it goes!

Paint a storyboard of Band of Brothers on the mountain. Invite them all to a meet and greet to smoke the peace pipe. At the marker.

This is great

What is wrong with people?! Even if it wasn't a place that is historically significant for the 506th and what they did, it is still a gorgeous piece of natural beauty which should never be vandalised. The lack of respect for the history and the natural beauty is disturbing. More needs to be done to teach the next generations to respect both, to preserve it so future generations can enjoy learning about the history of the location and the beauty of it to.

Hey man I really love your videos especially the on location stuff. So I am now a subscriber! I am a North Carolina native and was wondering if youd do some videos about some of the lesser talked about states during the civil war. We had several battles here including one at bentonville, NC where you can go see the battlefield, the soldiers graves, and the house they used as a field hospital (complete with blood on the floors) just something to consider! Thanks for reading this and I hope you have a great day!

An to be young! Good job to all of you. 👍

congratz on the hike

thanks for doing this. They should lock the area off and make it part of the state park system so they can't vandalize it.

You should do a movie night stream where we watch Band of Brothers and you walk us through with bits of history. It could be broken up into parts for weekend segments. Just an idea. I love that you keep referencing Band of Brothers, it's one of my favorite series.

Wow amazing job, me over here who can barely clean my room

BLESS THEM ALL..XX

Will you be doing this again in 2022?? I would love to join you! I’m an Alabama native (not too far of a drive from Currahee). Unfortunately I didn’t hear about this till it was too late, but if you do it again, I will gladly lend a hand!

Hi VTH!

Them thar's my neck of the woods (ish). Wish I'd known you were down here. :)

Hope you’re enjoying the trip. I just got a job at ups in independence Kentucky. Has me wondering if you’d ever do a video on the history of mail in the us? And how it impacted today’s world

Good man

Thank you all for your care and Love of History and what is RIGHT !

That is absolutely atrocious, some of the shit sprayed on those rocks really makes me sick. You guys are awesome and you make the men who trained in that mountain forest proud.

I sure hope they install trail cams, catch the vandals, and make them the next cleanup crew.

A good route for cycling

200K soon

YIKES! What a graffiti abatement job that has to be done! Was Band of Brothers actually filmed here? At least on dirt portions? It is cool to know there is something to go see in Toccoa.

Imagine back then they didn't have a road like that. They just had to hike it through brush and trees

Woot

i like that green monster

Would you happen to have a recommendation on any book that’s about the modern wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? I recommend outlaw platoon by Sean Parnell. Being someone who served overseas on the draw down of U.S involvement in Iraq (2019) I love reading and learning about Different Soldiers experiences so any recommendations would be appreciated! Love the Stuff your doing thank you !

good for you, Airborne, lead the way

Is there any material out there that covers the pacific theater in ww2 that you can react to? Would love to hear your perspective on the enigmatic naval admirals and their influence on the war

I just finished your video reacting to Extra Credit video of Yi, you said you gonna have a new video soon, I guess you meant 3 hours soon.

I wish you had Spegetti before you hiked up like Easy company boys in the series 😂

As a scandinavian, it's almost weird seeing how flat it's at the view on top of that mountain.

Hate to say, today, it looks pretty much exactly like the before video.
