Reminds me of the old saying 'you can never go home again' Sometimes the past is best left locked into a dusty old corner of our brains.

That's an awesome comment. Thank you!
How brave you were to set off by yourself to a new life. Same courage you showed when you left your job to strike out alone. Fascinating video.
The stuff you do when you're young and broke. Every once in a while I get nostalgic, but when I see the places I used to haunt I snap back to reality haha.

I am glad your life got better.
You dnt got to explain why u was you when you were younger .. when I was in high school I didn't know or have a clue what I was doing? in a way I still am searchin !! Your past makes you who u are , I'm glad u are the carpetbagger..your videos bring joy and entertain millions ty brother...
Memories and experiences all contribute to who we are today.
I grew up in Poverty but My grandma made Christmas Miracles and Birthdays Suprises I still have no ideal to this day how she did it. Started working at 15 and been working every since. Humble beginnings just make you appreciate everything you have now and everything in future. It always important to remember where we been so that we can know how far we have came. Thank u for sharing this with us.
Props to the 6 footer trying to get out of the shot
Sometimes we take punches at nostalgia, and sometimes nostalgia punches us in the face. Thank you for taking us down with you along the yellow brick road that is your memory lane.
I live in South Carolina not too far from Franklin. The mountains of North Carolina are full of good, down to earth folks and the beauty of the area makes life seem worthwhile even if you have to struggle some. Thanks for sharing some of your history!
I rented an Airbnb in Alaska that was listed as a Tiny House but it was really a Shed with a Bed - and I paid a nightly fee for it! It's all good, always grateful to be warm and dry!

@@JamesAllmond No it was in Juneau!
My boyfriend, of 22 yrs, also lived in a shed!!! No wonder, I think you are too cool!!!
Sometimes ya have to get outta your comfort zone. Like you I was a drifter for years, finally found my place about 3 years ago in this world and I'm almost 40!
I enjoyed your memory lane trip. Glad you walked out on that abusive boss, that takes courage. If you do more videos like this, I’m up for it.
Thank you for taking us on a journey from where you came from Jacob. ❤❤❤
We just care about you deeply and wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you or Jenn is all.😊
Jacob sometimes our lives are not the way we would like them to be but it helps us to grow I am glad you are over the really rough patches Thank you for sharing
Jacob, thank you for sharing more of your story. I am still living in the town I have lived in since 1973 and I take rides to where I used to live, I have been feeling nostalgic a lot lately. I actually get goosebumps driving by some houses where they families have passed away. Also the love of my life (passed away in 1982) asked me out on a front lawn on one of the houses that have new people living there. I am so glad you and Jenn found each other!
The Ruby is my birthstone! I need a clump of that there ruby dirt!
Thanks for sharing your past...You come a long way...
I am so proud of you! Look how far you've come, and kudos to you for stepping up and giving your son a father. You're awesome dude
Jacob I enjoy watching your life evolve through the years. If you ever wrote a book I know I would love to read it. You're quite an interesting person. 😊😊
You literally did what you had to do at that time. And look where you are now, turned out pretty good I say. 😊
Both of my children and I are also on the spectrum. It's really encouraging to see you have really created and experienced many things that are very relatable.
Wow, Jacob, you have definitely come a long way and I'm happy for your success. You deserve it!
Thank you for letting us see your beginnings of life
Grew up in Indiana..we had an outhouse and one outlet in the house for cold water...if you wanted a bath you heated water on the stove and poured in a galvanized tub.
Carpet bagger i love your channel so much your an awesome amazing kind hearted person. I love your amusement park,Oddities, and food review your the greatest carpet bagger in the world.
Hi Jacob. Glad you were able to get out of shed, and able tp get back in your home. Also leaving y 6:53 our job to make videos, vlogging, was best move you could have made. And you meet Jenn. She is your perfect match. So happy your together. Please keep making utube videos. Also I heard there is new museum in Pittsburgh PA. Called Museum of Illusion. I know you go to that area. I'm a subscriber. Love you and Jenn. 🎉❤❤😊
Can't wait to see you & Jenn go back for dinner at the Dillard Inn.
It's always interesting to look back and see what needed to happen to get us where we are today. To have your son and daughter and your current life. You never know where you could have ended up.
Greetings Jacob. Thank you for sharing this interesting glimpse into your memories and places you used to live. Love your variety of content and always love when you share stories of your life.
I love these 'walking the path of The Carpetbagger ' style videos, glad your putting out some mixed content while chilling at home-ish lol✌️
Yeah man this was cool to see your origin story right on.
Live and learn as they say...and you did! Thanks for sharing another part of your story.
I don't see how Anybody could dislike you are so Sweet ❤
Yes. More of your life. This was interesting. I liked it!
This has been a great video. I grew up in the los angeles area , but I haven't been out there since nineteen ninety two so I can imagine how i'm gonna feel when I get to go back and see the places I grow up
I would enjoy seeing more Videos like this very Interesting !!!!!
Jacob I love your videos and you are not alone. You are good ppl!!!
Awesome video Jacob. I always enjoy learning about people’s lives. It was great hearing some of your origin story, it’s amazing when you look back to see where you’ve come from to where you are today.
You should be proud of yourself Jacob! Watching your channel grow has been and still is heartwarming to me🥰
Yeah it's interesting hearing about your past. It would be nice to hear more about it, yes.
Appreciating you telling your personal story, it's not always easy to do, my father kicked me out when I was 17, homeless and still attending high school, when it comes to surviving, you what you have to do, kudo's
That was a fun little tour down Carpetbagger memory lane! 🤗
I’m just glad your on KZread you seem like a really interesting nice person
Hi Jacob 👋 have a nice day 😊 my husband and I love your videos 📹
your life adventures continue on ~ much health and blessings and safe travels to you and your family ~ and blessings to others also 💚💚💚
I love these type of videos Jacob. It’s nice that you let us in to your life the way that you do. I hope you do more home town vlogs. Take care of yourself.
Hello Jacob. It's great that you're able to go back and let us see where you started from to where you are now.
I'm glad you're life got really better and see your videos and I've been following your videos since they came out
This was a great video. Memory lane is okay to visit but too bittersweet to live. I really loved picturing the grumpy neighbor defacing the streets. 😂
Wow you have a very varied and hard but eventful life. Glad you have done so well for yourself. I am so pleased you are now happy with Jen, you are such a good couple. It’s nice you both love the oddities of life. ❤😊
2:39 whoa… who’s that…😂 even caught my man Jacob off guard… hilarious moment.
Good morning Jacob ☀️ thanks for sharing that you lived in places I would not imagine. You take care my friend 🤓📸
Thank you you always do great happy you have someone now❤
I know that people say that changing location doesn’t really change your life. But sometimes I think when you already want to change. That location just really fosters that growth. Because I had the exact same thing happened to me about eight years ago when I moved to Florida. And that was just from Alanta. But all of a sudden I felt like I became my true self. It just fits so much better. no no I was so unhappy before. it’s crazy to me that, we think people are adults 18 because really until you’re like 25 or 26. You just haven’t lived long enough and experience things in an adult world to really live out on your own. I do the same thing with laughed at 18 but. I feel like it takes longer for people to mature. also, my family has a house up in Highlands. So crazy. I haven’t seen this area in the country in a couple years. Thank you.
I'm glad that your life has improved for the better. I hope that things are going well for you and Jenn and things continue to go well for you and Jenn.
I’m glad you moved to the smoky mountains
❤ your Personality
I’m so happy for you 😊😊😊
Definitely do more videos like this. It just shows how far you’ve come in your life.
I knew there was a reason why I love your channel. You lived in a shed just like my hero Bubbles. Thanks for all the Rad content 🤙
Appreciate this video Jacob. You are a good dude! Enjoy life, my friend.
Great video Jacob 🙂 We love the memories. Enjoy some time close to home 🙂
Hi Jacob the carpetbagger I like your channel and vlogs keep up the good work 😊👍
Enjoyed going down memory lane with you 👍
I love the stories you share. It is very insightful and sincere. I think it’s valuable to look back and share. It’s all an individual learning process. You have the right outlook. Seems you have been blessed with good people as well. Thanks 😊🇺🇸
Hey Jacob, Loved the glimpse into the origin of The Carpetbagger!
Thank you for sharing parts of your life. Isn’t it just surreal when you go back to places that you haven’t seen in years and sometimes you wonder oh my gosh how did I get through all of that?
Greetings from the U.K. Jacob. Adam The Woo has a lot to answer for, because it’s thanks to him and his videos, that I’ve got to know not only Sean Clarke, The Grim Collective and Tampa Jay, but you too. And I thank him for that. All somewhat similar, yet all done differently, with your channel being the quirkiest of them all. A particularly good example is the video you posted a couple of days ago about your wish to purchase a haunted doll. I can’t imagine any of them doing it. Your most recent video ‘I Used To Live In A Shed’ sounds like an episode of Jerry Springer, but it was great finding out more about you and your past. I am now in the process of binge watching your videos and am pleased to say that I’m enjoying every single one of them. I’m definitely looking forward to upcoming Jenny videos with great interest.
Thank you for taking us, with you, on your nostalgic journey. 😊💜 💜 💜 It is so sweet of you, to let us, get to know the "real you", at a time, when so many people lie, about who they are! A lot of us, come from meager beginnings! I worked so many different jobs, right after high school (Burger King then Montgomery Wards while still IN high school)! I really enjoyed this video, and the story of, where your life started to transition, to adulthood! 😊💜 💜 💜
Thanks for sharing your past with us.
I have a nephew in Waynesville. My brother and his wife lived there for the last few years. Small world.
Thank you Jacob for sharing a very important part of your life.
Oh no, you bought the doll? We were just trying to save you! 😱.
Life is a journey / adventure, thank you for sharing yours, Jacob!
Thank you jacob for sharing your story .. we have gained even more respect for you seeing how you worked so hard to get to where you are …. You are a good guy.. best of luck to you and jenn
I’m so happy for you that you have been able to make a living doing what you love. Nothing wrong with living in a shed when you’re first starting out. 😊 I really hope that haunted doll isn’t really haunted because it would ruin everything. I am thinking it’s probably just a made-up story but there are real haunted objects out there and they are never, ever good! Blessings to you and your family. ❤
Good Morning "YA ALL " Jacob..!!
thank you Jacob for sharing these memories with us. I really enjoying the stories about your life. What an hardworking man
Thanks for sharing 😊👍🙏 I really appreciate you going down memory lane! That was fun! 💜
These are the sacrifices and gambles on yourself people don’t see or think of when they minimize what you do for a living now…making awesome content. That awesome content and unique perspective would not be possible without your past.

The old haunts of the carpetbagger, that's interesting and certainty a bit sublime for you....indeed reflection of your memories is probably a bit therapeutic for yourself, it's just interesting to learn more about your past, maybe a nice dinner there...could fill you up....
I hated school and school time. problems at home, depressed and very lonely child. as a young adult, live wasnt much better. First job, lost job, next job... thanks for sharing your life story.
I think more places that you have personal attachment to would be cool.
you are a travel blogger and influencer, Jacob. own the achievements and experiences you possess
The gentleman that ducked behind you I give him credit for trying do not interrupt your video what a legend😂
Love all of your stories! Thank you for sharing with us. It's so nice to look back and remember where we came from and remembering the pains and pleasures we have experienced. So happy to look forward to a bright and wonderful future of making more and more memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
