I Bought My House and I've Got a Lot on My Mind 

I love Jacob saying he's in the center of the earth while you can see sunlight coming in behind him

You're an old friend to us now Jacob. Thank you for all the adventures (and ones to come) Thank you for being you!

You’re so humble, Jacob! Your blogs are wonderful and we enjoy them. So glad you’re settling into home once again.

I’m pretty sure a lot of us watch your videos at work or while doing school work. You help us get through our time and our own personal dealings so thank you as well!

I have been watching your videos since I was in high school and I am now 22 in college. That being said I want you to know you have made a big impact on my childhood. Being a child coming from a poor house I never got to travel and experience the really fun things that come with being a kid , so being able to watch your videos, and travel all these cool places with you has given me a happiness I can never express in words. Thank you so much for doing all you do, and just know the young people love you too. Your like the cool uncle I never had and for that I am grateful.

My husband and daughter are autistic and we all love your videos. Enjoy your home making new memories together with Jen. It seems that you and your ex are working things out as far as who gets what. It’s nice you can work everything out with her and remain on friendly terms. Love all the interesting stuff in your bunker!

We love you! And Jen! 😁❤️ Congrats on the house. Try not to let the stress of stuff get to you. And NEVER worry about a strict load schedule. You take care of yourself!!! Make videos as you can. We'll be here to watch them

I couldn't agree more with the prevailing sentiment, that Jacob's videos are marvelous. True there are other vloggers treading the same paths, but Jacob's style has evolved subtly into something no one else can duplicate. His slow, unassuming style belies an encyclopedic knowledge of his subjects. I almostt always learn something from his videos. More than that, there's the way he gives the viewer time to look at and take in the sights and sounds. It really does feel like you've been there, as opposed to some other vloggers who just create what are basically highlight reels. It's a very relaxed but deliberate style that I thoroughly enjoy. Roll on, Bagger!

I love listening to your thoughts and going along with you on your adventures! Kudos on buying the house! Huge step! Stay awesome, Jacob!

These are some of your best videos! 😊 You have to have a mix! It’s awesome to have you home! Familiar faces, familiar places! People lose interest if you do the same thing over, and over! You being you, is the draw! You are important to many, and a familiar face, taking us to a different place, but stay grounded realistically! Your one of my faves, with Adam is too! It’s a treat when your both together, especially when your close by! 😊I definitely have tuned into both of you daily since 2020, and I’m right over the hill in Upstate SC! Stay balanced! 😉 Be you!

I LOVE how long your videos are! I especially loved the interactive video at the comedy museum! 🤣 The videos with you and Jen together are my favorites, you two complement each other in a hilarious way! 🤣🥰

Congrats on the closing, Jacob! May this milestone be the foundation for many years of happiness, and many years of fantastic content to come!

Infinite hugs to you and Jen! I love you both! 😊

Between yours and Jens collection you can open a museum or A ROAD SIDE ATTRACTION.

Must be a nice feeling Jacob to have somewhere more permanent to lay your head down, after making entertaining vlogs for us to enjoy, Thankyou xx

You're such a kind soul when I have a rough day I love watching you makes me feel better

I love your videos and hearing your story's! Thank you so much for sharing your trips with us!

Jacob we love your videos no matter what the content. Thank you for sharing your life with us ,the ups ,downs & everything in between ❤

Your videos are the very first thing I do when I get home. When you skip a few days, it bums me out, but that's ok to take a break. We will be here when you post agian. I started watching because of your love for a world that used to be. Your route 66 trip was a blast,and for people like me who just do not have the time to travel, they really take me out of myself if only for a little while. I'm looking forward to the State Fair season and haunt season, best of all!!! I am a home haunter. We've been doing it for more than 20 years. Thanks for trusting us with your thoughts and sharing your life. Not everyone would be willing to do that! Sharing things with strangers puts you in a very vulnerable place. I am always excited to go on our next adventure,thank you for wanting to take us along!!!

Jacob you and Jen need a library upstairs. It could be like a twilight zone library filled with proper shelves for your books all your cryptid and both your collections...😊❤Good luck with everything from here in U.K.

Hi Jacob 🙋🏽. I can already see your house. Between you and Jen your house is going to look like a museum with in itself ‼️😆🤣😄😃😂 LOL.

“I live in MY house” is a quote that Jake will get used to for a long time.

I love your content, as someone who's mostly homebound due to health reasons, it's fun to share your adventures and see things I'll probably never get to see for myself. I love sharing your adventures! :)

I enjoy your unique outlook and your love of whimsy 🥸🤡💩. Watching your videos while eating breakfast is one of my favorite things to do. I like your mix of videos: travel, life updates, short and long. It makes things interesting because we don't know what exactly to expect from one video to the next; the only constant, you being your natural, down to earth fun-loving self. You are one of my favorite vloggers and the only travel vlogger I watch. We are with you in spirit on your travels so in that aspect the road isn't so lonely. LOVE&LIGHT to you in your travels and in your life. 💜💜💜

i love how collective you are ! such cool decor!

That pixie needs a custom made stand to keep it safe and upright. The scarf is a nice touch.

I just want give jacob a hug

I've been following you long enough to remember the original bunker corner/closet! One of the first videos I ever saw from your channel was a tour of your mold-a-rama collection. To second a lot of people's comments, you're very humble and so many of us are happy to see you succeed based on the great efforts you've made with your channel. So many of us love your channel because a big part of it is just you being you!

You have to display your collectibles for you and others to enjoy. I think it makes the house more interesting to see all your stuff. It's kind of like your own museum. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on becoming the sole owner of your home. I enjoy all your videos. They are never too long for me. You’re one of the most down to earth vloggers on the Tube. I’m hoping one day to retire and spend time traveling to many of the places you feature, especially those classic dark rides. By the way, your taste of home decor is excellent! Reminds me of my own home.

I've only been watching for a little over a year now. You are seriously one of the absolute most humble and down to earth people on here right now. I am sooo insanely stoked for your future endeavors. I cannot commend you enough for the way you have been able to handle all this stuff with christy.

That's very beautiful, reminds me of Kentucky, great grandparents home ♥️

Thank you Jacob for sharing your positivity and Jenn’s with all of us, especially for creating family friendly content that we can share as a family. We all enjoy it very much!

Thanks Jacob. Be you that's what we like!

I hope there's a Carpetbagger Museum to visit someday

Awesome that you got your house and your bunker back.

I had this on as I painted monsters and skulls on shirts- it is like we were hanging out. Never stop being you Jacob. You rule.

Awesome video as always Jacob keep up the awesome work and congratulations on the house

We LOVE you Jacob!🌸💕🌸

We love your quirkiness, Don't change a thing.

I always enjoy your videos, even if you just need to talk and get something off your chest. I look forward to your videos and receiving your postcards - they give me a sense of joy. This past December i was diagnosed with stage three uterine cancer and underwent a major surgery. I'm currently having chemo treatments and I'll have radiation treatments in June. So watching your vlogs and adventures makes me very happy and also makes me want to travel after each one! Maybe one day. Keep being you, Jacob.

Your honest and down to Earth Jacob. Don't change!

Thanks for showing me your home, town and beautiful park. Better days ahead!

Howly Mowly you have beautiful Blue Eyes! Congratulations on the house and live the " Man Cave Bunker" 😊

Hello my dear, dearest virtual travelling friend,🥰 I know this video is four months hold but, I hope you see this message full of repect, love and admiration. People are never bord in your presence. You have so much knowledge😃 You are so interesting. Sometimes, I binge 3 or 4 hours of your videos, in no particular order😅. You bring me joy and places that, I know I will probably never see in real life. The color of your eyes fascinates me. Depending on the sun, the light of day or your glasses😊, they’re green, blue, sometimes gray. Just beautiful expressives eyes🤩 Thankyou so much for what you do and thankyou to be the person you are. I love you Mr. Carpetbagger Jacob❤

My family loves to watch you because you go to interesting, fun places, you're quite knowledgeable, and you've got a comfortable peace about you. God bless you always and thank you☺️

This felt like 46 minutes of hanging out with my friend Jacob. One thing that makes your channel so wonderful is just YOU! Others go out and record and have fun but they aren't you. We all love you and sharing your adventures. I do have one question...why when you put the camera down to get a picture of yourself in one of the selfie things is the camera always off center? Its never directly in front of the scene and I've wondered if there's a specific reason for that. MAZEL TOV, Jacob on your house and getting to do something you love so much for your job!

Hey Jacob when I was really young, we use to travel, I been to Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Colorado, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.😂

I'm so happy things are getting better for you. Living a life where the person you share a space with can really reflect you more is such a great feeling. EDIT: Instead of tacks, blue tack, or better yet, the gorilla brand that is beige and won't stain the wall, avoids holes in the wall, or the print/poster. I love it as a renter, I love it instead of frames, and I love how much better it looks than tacks.

All of us really appreciate you Jacob! I have enjoyed this journey with you and you make me happy what a gem you to your fans keep going and say hi to Jen and Annabelle!

I have a walk-out basement with a concrete patio. An upper deck makes it protected from the weather. I love that it is a separate living space with a bathroom and kitchen. Congratulations!

Love the old Maggie Valley Ghost Town poster. Reminds be of their old brochures. So many good memories.

I loveeeee Gomez art prints too!!! Suggestion: Take a look at magnetic poster hangers for your new decoration needs. I really appreciate the simplicity of installing them. Congratulations on the closing!

My earliest memory of a Carpetbagger video many years ago was the squirrel in the suitcase. I thought that guy really knows how to pack for a trip and was hooked. Welcome home.

The video isn't strange at all. It's your home and where you are most happy. That's awesome!

Bunker/basement, whatever it is, i’m so glad we got more about yourself, see quite an awesome collection and I loved this chatting video. I’d be interested on video essays on reviews of favorite and least favorite locations or just for the more popular areas, you visit like certain museums, tourist attractions to avoid or which ones are definitely a must for everyone to check out and should go see.

I love these chill vlogs that give us a glimpse into your life! They are so relaxing to watch and sometimes it's a nice break from the excitement of the travel vlogs :)

I gotta say, your videos during covid actually helped me a lot. especially because they didn't mention the pandemic. It was a nice break from all the bad news. I was also trapped in the house with no where to go. You helped me keep my sanity.

I don’t know how but you became family to me. Even though you don’t know me and we never met, it just happen… love your mind and energy!

You and Jenn are so much alike that your house will be a marvelous menagerie!

I just wanted to say that I enjoy your videos. I also enjoy when you do the walk & talk videos. I found your videos during the lockdown & they gave me a way to travel & see new locations. The first video I watched was your Rte 66 series with Adam. Absolutely loved them! You guys together made great videos! Can’t wait to see more of your videos! Thank you for allowing me to travel while we weren’t able to on our own.

Thank YOU! I follow many different RU-vid content creators, but your style is really unique, personal and consistent. I like your narration style, the intonation and timing. And the places you visit are exactly the stuff I like. I totally get the fascination. The other day, in an old theme park called Drievliet in the Netherlands, I forced myself to go on a spooky dark ride. I get freaked out by jump scares, so I always avoid them. But I said to myself: "do it for the Carpetbagger. Your chariot awaits!" It was very stressful, but fun :-)

This was a wonderful vlog. It is sort of like an old friend just sharing thoughts and dreams. Everyone should have a way to vent. Sometimes problems aren't as bad when you verbalize them. Live your best life, Jacob. Vent whenever you need to!

Congratulations Jacob so happy for you and Jenn both your video make me smile good bless ya both be safe on your travels

I watch your videos because your yourself it's like having a friend over and just shooting the breeze

Love the way you are so real, down to earth! Also, your videos are so good that I watch some of them twice! 😎

I’m always amazed at how quickly 45 minutes flys buy when I watch your channel. You always manage to find something interesting or a different angle.

Man...that Ghost Town in the Sky poster brought back a ton of memories...I used to vacation in Maggie Valley with my grandparents when I was a kid.

Jacob I started watching you because of your interesting videos, your beautiful daughter and your unique collection in your bunker.. I have continued to watch you as your channel grew, and have enjoyed watching your daughter grow from a little girl to a beautiful young lady.. I am glad you was able to work things out with Kristie on your house.. Many blessings...I can't wait to see where your journey goes with your channel and Jenn.......Stay safe.

I miss the Opossum 01, fly through the air, taking view shots of the area, you are viewing for us, while making your vlog and/or adventures. When I first got to see you in your adventures. I am glad to have seen you on here, and let us watch your adventures while you travel! I have fun, watching it. I know others do as well, since we cannot get out much these days.

I don’t know if a schedule is important. I get so excited when I see your videos pop up in my feed, whenever they happen!

Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park Mr Bagger 🏞️🐻🌄

Jacob stay the way you are. You are a wonderful human. Get some rest and enjoy your life!!!

Jacob, I always enjoy your videos. Love that you go to do many different kinds of places. Your voice is actually calming so ramble on!!

Jacob. You make a lot of people happy. What you do makes a lot of people happy. You're a big inspiration to all of us. Keep what you doing we all love you Jacob and Jenn

Congrats on closing on your house.

Congratulations 🎉 on owning your home! I enjoy and look forward to your videos all the time😊 you do a terrific job at all that you do! Thank you for everything you do

Congrats on the house and down the road a more central starting point for travel. Enjoyed the meandering walk about.

You're doing great, Jacob. Keep up the awesome work!! 😀👍

I really like your videos and appreciate that you change it up in every video there are so many hidden gems out there to find even in your own backyard. I don't want to bash on Disney The Woo ( Adam) but everything is Disney this and Disney That in his videos especially when he is in California or Florida even in other cities he will mention something about Disney or something that reminds him of Disney. Disney is fine to a point but my god if they painted a rock pink he will be there with a camera Tim Tracker, Justin Scarred and more Disney vloggers is not the only theme parks that are fun and enjoyable to visit . When they posted a Disney video I completely skipped their videos and come straight to you cause I know there will be something new and interesting we haven't seen 50 million times. THANK YOU SO MUCH !

Jacob; how about a bunker for Jenn

Hugs Jacob. I watch your videos because you're real. An authentic human being sharing the things he loves. I may not watch every video you put out, but I do watch many of them because I either learn something, laugh at something, or maybe even commiserate a little lol And you're just so much fun, even in the hard times, when life gives you lemons. Enjoy your house and making it your special place. Nothing better than a home that feels like sanctuary.

Don't balance it!.. combine it! Make your house your home your life your job all one. But whatever you do we care about you man and we appreciate your content. I can't wait to see the stuff come out of the basement and be sprinkled around the house.

Love you Jacob whatever you do we will be behind you

Congratulations Jacob

I'm glad I found your channel. I enjoy the subjects of your videos and the laughs we share. Keep up the good work.

Happy for you Jacob🏡💜😻 I don't even know what NORMAL is 🥴🤪

Jacob I was completely off the rails during 2020. Constantly watching the news. It was awful! I hope we never have to go thru anything like that again.

I think your rants and talks about your life is fantastic. Keep being you!

Relax and enjoy your life. I get that is tough when RU-vid becomes your job. Content brought us to you but it is your personality that keeps up coming back. Frankly, while unexpected, I enjoyed this hike with you. A water feature is always so relaxing.

Congrats on your house purchase

Thank you Jacob for sharing a big part of your heart and thoughts. Thank you for sharing your Special place of Calm I found this video relaxing and calming from the tranquility of the River. Congratulations to you officially owing your own home Now you can Extend the Man cave I Am Especially Happy to hear and Excited that both you and Jenny💗 will finally be under one Roof.

Congrats on the house! Looking forward to watching the Bunker expand outward

Your calm, pleasant voice and the measured camera presentation in your videos are perfect to wind down to after a long day. Thank you for sharing your adventures and thoughts with us.

Do you know I listen to your videos while I work? It's calming for me to listen to your adventures. I have Autism as well, your voice helps me get through the hours, I don't feel as drained. Thought I'd let you know that a lot of us love you and will be here where ever you go. ❤
