I am sure VGG is the real deal. I grew up in MT and W Va. In MT they last forever, But WV they will rust in the barn. I am guessing it is a little dryer where Y'all are located.
Not saying that all the channels are fake, but there are a lot of them that are very scripted and we have witnessed it firsthand. This was a really cool situation. Just wish we would’ve captured more of it. Our areas are pretty clear climate we do see some weather, but not too bad.
