That certainly explains why the need has dropped and why so many people need the adapter lines. It's a great business decision on their part as well. It's probably one of the cheapest and most effective advertising campaigns they've ever undertaken.
Bear from Grindstone Ministeries has been doing this since Katrina. He has people there from the entire country. They are amazing. Shout out to Bear, William, Cody and ALL the MEN!!! Only ones exposing the toxicity.
@@elizabethwilson2277 I have been sharing and am censored EVERY TIME by none other than Justin Rhodes boy wonder @AustinChaney who is telling everybody that Asheville tourism is back to normal. Evil.
@@elizabethwilson2277 Imagine getting that sludge on your feet, tracking it all over your house and your babies crawling all over it...just one scenario. People prefer denial apparently.
Those who have lost their homes and are camping in their yards are the ones who need propane heatrers because they have nothing to hook power up to. We helped a family with propane for cooking and heating their tents.
Propane is expensive and doesn't last very long, as well. That's why I'm constructing a whole bunch of passive solar heater collector boxes that people can use to heat a shed, camper, tent, whatever. It will only OFFSET the use of propane, but it should help when it gets cold during daylight hours. And then people can also store heat in insulated water containers, have warm water, etc. I'm in the process right now planning for the near future to deliver them. I also need to find people who could use them.
@@MarcGyverItI am sure you mean well but those are not practical forms of heat. Those systems have to be huge to keep a greenhouse just above freezing.
Your passive heater will work well with an incredibox from Incredible Tiny Homes. They can do a tiny home on a trailer or on skids. Road would gave to be clear for delivery... Base cost is 20k.their 8x20incredibox could get a family of 4 out of a tent for winter... Family could build on a screen porch and winterize for extra space.... Would be a quick restart... Their company might be willing to work with folks who could fundraise for a family to get out of the cold
@@BonnieBlue2A Even a window unit is good enough to keep an insulated room warm during the day. It's not for a greenhouse. I also have yet to see an efficient design made, and I've see hundreds.
A tipi from the down trees, wrapped in real reflectix then a heavy duty tarp and a deep fire pit for warmth will make a huge difference. Better than a tent, seems like there is so much wood so donated chainsaws will help keep people warmer and safer.
We'll keep praying for w NC 🙏🏼🕊️⚓my heart hurts for them🙏🏼 so sorry4all they lost. loved ones. pets crops gardens vehicles; reg every day life .. gone.
Would you be able to help me find people that could use solar heaters that offset the use of propane and electricity? Free heat during daylight, good enough for a tent, camper or shed. Or even a room in a house.
If you don't get a response from this comment... Reach out to the librarian at Del Rio Tennessee with the same question. Perhaps she could connect you with a recipient named Tony.. Or other local.. The librarian is connecting folks with supplies like this gentleman
Where is that information? I listened to Patara from Appalachian Homestead YT a week ago who said their policy was NOT donating any. Maybe all her viewers changed their minds.
This was such an encouraging update. I was thinking how great it would be if churches around the state would adopt a family, focus on that famly,prayers cards, funds , helping with rebuild. Just a thought.
It is great that you are sharing what is going on. Mainstream media just isn’t doing it. I am proud of all the work you and your friends have done to help others. I can’t afford to help financially right now since I am unemployed currently but I am praying for everyone there.
What exactly do you think mainstream media is supposed to do exactly? Why don't you do your own research and stop relying on the media to do it for you?
@@nunyadamnbizness9600 keep the story in the media instead of moving on to other stories. We in the West don’t hear the individual stories like the vloggers provide.
That is why these videos are so important, they are doing what mainstream isn’t doing, informing the public and we need to share them on social media so the story doesn’t die out!
If you use hoses with those heaters you definitely should get the filter too. It's the oils from the rubber hose that clogs up the system in the heater, not from the tanks or propane. I went through 2 or 3 heaters until I found out that was what was happening. I still have 2 that stopped working incase I can fix them. Never looked into how. I used a filter with my current one for years and it's working fine still. Name brand or aftermarket hoses do it.
Propane, being a petroleum distillate, does sometimes have an oily substance in it that can be filtered out. If your heater buddy stops you can take off one of the side panels you will see some tubing (I believe it is steel). Use your common sense and look and you will see kind of a U-shaped place where that tubing goes down and up forming a U shape.. This oily substance collects in that u-shaped place in the tubing and will eventually stop the heater from working. When mine stop working I usually take off that little u-shaped place (there are tubing nuts on each side) and rinse it out with some sort of solvent (like 91% or 70% alcohol) and usually the heater buddy will fire right back up. I have a large regular kitchen stove that I've run off propane for years and have never had any problem with the little jet like orifices in the big stove clogging up. My gas piping in the house has a little false 6 inch, down run that I was told was mainly to catch rust flakes as the pipes get older but it would also catch droplets of the oily substance that I've found in these Heater Buddies. There are instructional videos on RU-vid that show better how to clean the section of pipe in a heater buddy. A standard 20 lb propane tank willI keep one of those heater buddies going about a week. 30 lb tanks when full are about the limit for older people to move around unless you have a hand cart. You aren't supposed to have the tanks inside though everybody I know that uses the heater buddy does that. Under certain circumstances your propane tank can vent out a blast of propane. I don't know anyone that has ever had that happen as its happens when you overfill the tank and the liquid in the tank expans. You need to keep 3 ft or more space around the heater buddy because if a towel or something like that falls on top of the heater buddy it will catch fire.... For those of you that don't know, the heater buddy is an incredible Appliance. It has a little sensor in it that will cut off the gas flow (turning off the flame) if the oxygen level in your heated space drops below a certain point. A lot of other propane tank heaters do not have this safety feature on them. I have only ever had this low oxygen shut off happen once or twice when I was using a Heater Buddy to heat the inside of my van. If you open the window just for a few seconds the oxygen pushes its way into the vehicle and the heater buddy will start back up again. They are a wonderful safe product but have to be used responsibly like any open flame.
I volunteered with Samaritan's Purse this week. They spray the homes with Shockwave. Shockwave is an EPA-registered disinfectant, sanitizer and cleaner designed for use on various surfaces subject to microbial contamination, ideal for flooding and mold remediation. ShockWave is especially useful as an all-in-one product for treating wood framing, carpets, and other porous and nonporous surfaces as part of a complete mold remediation project.

I know from listening to stories from others who live south of where I do, and we were devastated, that we are all feeling a bit of ptsd. We have been running on adrenaline for 3 weeks now and since things are starting to settle in to rebuilding, we are all starting to bottom out. Be careful you do not do the same. Thank you for all you do in your area. We are so overwhelmed up here with help, they are begging us to come get supplies. Our lineman here, have knocked the ball out of the park. Samaritans Purse was umbelievable!! Bless those who have been the ones who have helped. In every county! I live in Avery County.
The couple doing the food truck . I was subscribed to the family. I remember when you all Wereat the property helping with their homestead. I pray for them and would love to see their vlogs. Thank you ART and BRI for all you're help. I understand your respect and privacy for each person. GODLY WISDOM. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU. SE MICHIGAN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🙏🇮🇱🙏
Here in Ohio, we had several checkpoints to deliver items which I was all set to do. But then I saw a few videos that said they have so many food and different supplies that they don't need more currently. But please don't forget about our area in months to come. Then I saw your videos about your 2 friends and donated to both of them. That's what we need, to know where to donate to help a specific need. Thank you for sharing!
i agree. There are isolated community's that I'm sure need stuff. I gave to Samaritans Purse but knowing which small places need stuff and how to get it to them would be great
I have been watching so many videos on the tragedy in N.C. and it's heart breaking. However, something happened the other day that shook me and surprised me. The video was an ariel view of the mountains and destruction, when all of a sudden, I was overwhelmed by The Presence of God...and His heart of Love, Grace and Mercy for those ppl whose lives have been affected there. He is with them. He is working miracles for so many and will turn horrible situations into something very good for them as only He can.
Amen, I've seen this too. My heart is broken for all those people but like you said God is helping all those people through men like Bre husband I don't know his name but I know Bre name. I pray for everyone that has been affected by this storm even those that came from different states to help people. And I know God is sending all these people to help people in need. Everyone keep praying for all these people it's going to take years before they are completely back on their feet. May God Bless them all.
@@LindaCaudill-cb4llI am hoping they know about the rapture that seems to be nearing and can hold onto that hope of getting to go soon to our real home with Jesus. My heart goes out to them. Seems like quite a few Christians though so I hope they can hold onto that hope of the rapture coming.
There are many non-main stream reporters giving us information about what is going on down there, in particular the flooded areas around the new lithium mine that is preparing to open. Also many reports from utubers in and around the area about f e m a and their shenanigans. And I am talking about reporters and participants NOT looking for clicks/views who are hooking us up with local charities to donate to, etc
Thank you Art for sharing your experience and showing how everything is changing as far as people’s needs. Wondering about how many need warm clothes, shoes and boots. ❤
Each supply location has a list of what they need. Many have too much stuff that they do not have room to sort it. Hold on diapers , water, some places have cases of unopened new coats etc. They have to get what they have distributed, to have room to sort and inventoried. Families will use what they currently have, then go back for more stuff. The Families may not have room for much yet.
Thank-you for continuing to tell us what is happening and going on. I live in NC but we are seniors with health issues and cannot come to help, or afford to send funds, right now. We hope in time that will change.
Thank you for keeping us advised. Please keep those precious places which hold so many memories alive. New memories will be needed for years to come. America the beautiful is flourishing with Gods people doing Gods work. Thank you God.
Arthur and Bri, I have just found the channel since the disaster in Asheville et al, but just wanted to say, I Love You guys!!!! As a disabled RN after 33 years and homeschooling Mom I just am grateful for you and your precious family. Yall keep singing This Lil Light of mine and keep on SHINING!!! Ya'll are so comforting, informative and effective! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🕊😇
Hi Bri and Arthur glad that your family is all ok. I have been watching you for a couple years. Your love and care are beautiful. I’ve been watching a lot sense the hurricane and recovery. My prayers and heart are with everybody in the path of these storms. Sending all the prayers and healing energies to all. God bless I heard the other day on another channel that there was a children home high in the mountains that was still cut off from others could you guys check to make sure they have all they need and let me know. I can’t stop thinking about them!
@@susanchafin4508 BRI and ARTHUR. ... please if you see this, provide the name or address or a contact of how to help.... For the children's home in the mountain.... There are folks here that would like to donate and help...
Yes, to documenting history... Please start interviewing people... Let them tell the camera what is needed after a flood.... So we can all be more knowledgeable on the realities and experiences, and become tactical with our support for this flood and future events as needed
The sites for Elizabeth, etc aren't posted here. Thank you for the update. We, in "happy parts of the country" have a tendency to forget the ongoing needs. Keep reminding!!! Please.
As someone that ended up in flood or two I appreciate that you are not really showing people's property or damage without them present and their Ok. Some RU-vidrs are walking in on private property videoing. Their intentions might be good. But not everyone is good these days. Looters are the worst of them but some of the assumptions and comments left on the uploads are totally out of line! Victims deserve our help but their privacy at the same time.
Honorable reporting without the seemingly obligatory dig on FEMA or the government . Thank you. And thank all the quiet heroes past, present and future who WILL rebuild these communities. The backbone of this Country has always been its citizens in a private capacity.
I'm a new sub, i watch and pray for N.C. My sister got a text from her friend who lives in Newland NC and she said the people lost homes and they need warm clothing, coats temporary housing, etc. can that be checked out?
Anybody up for fundraising? Incredible Tiny Homes Newport Tennessee did not flood. Their factory can pump out 8 to 10 closed cell insulated panel homes per week... If we can fundraise to get folks sheltered, warm and dry. It's called incredibox... Hooks up to power, sewer or septic.... Or... Can be set up with solar. Most importantly.... WARM... heats easily with tiny space heater and stays warm. A 8x20 model easily houses a couple. Or a family of 4 could squish... And get local help to add on an enclosed insulated screen porch with Woodburner for extra square footage.... Whole family could be sheltered quick.... It's getting cold in the mountains
Very good idea to be able to hook the heaters to the 20 pound tanks. The 1 pound tanks simply don't last long enough. I have the same setup here at home. And you're exactly right. It's about what they need, not about what we 'want' to do for them.
Thank you for all that you and Bri are doing, and sharing ! Balance is so important, in stressful times. This might be your " test of faith" so " manage" it well, REST take CARE of you too! So you can continue your purpose.
Thank you for your efforts and especially for showing Ben Holt. I was wondering if they were allright. Tell him we'd like an update on them and thank him for what he's doing.
I agree with you how everything can look normal in one spot and then just down the road everything is a disaster. I live in Polk County and everything is fine where I live and work in Henderson County and have met some amazing people going out into the out lying areas helping people. Bless you all for your work.
Thank you for what you are doing and for keeping us updated ! I live in Texas and every day I think about and pray for everyone who is suffering from the devastation of the storm. It weighs heavy on my heart. ❤🙏🏻
I struggled with posting my aid run video, but it has led to an outpouring of support including a corporate donor I am meeting with tomorrow. I was in the Ft Lauderdale airport and when someone heard I am from AVL they showed me my video not knowing it was me. These videos do need to be respectful and they also need to help spread the word that our community needs ongoing support and will for quite some time. Thank you for what you are doing!
If there's anything good to come out of all of this devastation, it's how people are working to help others in their time of need. There are good people out there! Sometimes, we need a little reminder of this, especially during this time when there seems to be so much division, thanks to politics! Thank you, Arthur, for being you! ❤
I was so happy to see Ben Holt! I have wondered how he and Bri and their family have fared after the hurricane! I have kept them in my prayers since I haven't seen any videos for awhile! So glad they appear to be doing well and serving their community and God in such a spectacular way!
Your heart and the kindness of all these people show why WESTERN NORTH Carolina are 😊the best. I do have a friend whose heat and air are out. She c could use some heat. Off old Leicester Hwy.❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your efforts and all those donating to help you to help others. My heart has hurt every day after Hurricane Helene. I feel those wonderful people’s pain and trust me when I say, even 3 weeks out, they are still in shock. I lived through Katrina. We had to hack through the attic of a three story to get onto the roof. We were there 3 and a half days before rescued. No water, food or blankets to protect from mosquitoes, we lost every thing but we’re thankful to have our lives. Unfortunately we were brought to the super dome which was a worse nightmare. I don’t want to say why. Luckily I have family with an airboat business in Louisiana, they were working on search & rescue already but we had no idea until my cousin recognized me in a crowd and got us out of there after having been there a week. Our death toll was just below 1400, some never recovered but there’s a big difference with Helene because those poor souls live in the hills and mountains and endured land slides and in some spots got over 30” of rain, they are/were trapped due to complete road and bridge destruction. In New Orleans, we are below sea level surrounded by levees protecting us from Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. Kind of like a soup bowl. Had levees at Lake Pontchartrain not breached we would have been fine. I hope everyone keeps those victims lifted in prayer, they need it for a long time to come. Some didn’t just get flooded houses, many houses were washed away or crushed but not just their homes but their entire towns, their businesses, their jobs and loved ones and family pets. God bless you and keep you safe.
I watch these videos just to educate and inform myself. I have a son in N.C. Close to the destruction, but their location was spared, and I was just here two weeks before the hurricane struck, it’s so beautiful there, I-40, traveled that highway, traveled the Blue Ridge ParkWay on our trip home, Spent a week there, had such a great time, and then this all happened, I’m saddened about it all.
I know right me and my family were in that very area last summer for a weeks vacation in a rental cabin and I still don’t know what’s happened to that cabin or the people that live close to it😢
I just wish more people had a clue what the landscape is like there, You’re driving on a main road that twist and turns and rolls , I like to liken it to a roller coaster ride, and the mountain is straight up on your right, and your left are homes, driveways that disappear somewhere into the woods, small dirt roads intersecting, and then there was the river along the roadway for a couple of miles, I KNOW I drove through areas that don’t exist anymore, I-40, Blue Ridge Highway. Between Boone and going northwest back to Michigan, I know there’s areas where the Earth just gave away and washed down those hills at tremendous speed and destruction. So sad. It’s gonna take decades to get those places back to anything usable, and some of the farm land is now covered in a number of feet of sand that is under to grow anything.
Yes america's history is in these mountains. The strong the brave and those that know how to put something together out of nothing. We can not let them go into the shadows. 😢
As a person in western WA, we want to help. We would love to connect with churches or small groups to meet their needs directly. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks to all the local people on the ground sharing on social media, people across the country are able to step up and help. The response of everyday people doing what they can, whether it be a little or a lot, it all adds up and warms my heart that we do still care about each other. In my humble opinion, the silver lining in all of this devastation and loss is that it has created more unity in a divided country at a very vulnerable time. Another silver lining is that you people are reminding the rest of the country how to handle the worst of times as a community of communities. We can move mountains (literally) when we work together and we can accomplish whatever we set our minds to. We're going to get knocked down, likely a lot and it's going to hurt, but with God's help, we can get back up and not remain helpless victims. This is the way it is across the majority of this country, but I think there are several areas that have forgotten that it was the people that built this country, not the big daddy government. Thank you for sharing this with love and respect for everyone there. God bless you all!
I watched the Hillbilly Kitchen's video last night. She went to Mountain city and Trade and one of them needs heaters. I think it was new beginnings church in trade. I am so thankful you are helping to get the word out. Been watching you guys back when Wilder was tiny., love ya all.
Hope you got the filter attachment for the Buddy heaters. Owners manual says not to hook them up to the 20lb tank without it. It attaches to the heater and the hose attaches to it.
The videos you are producing are so important. We know it is your community and that our funds will be spent on urgent needs because you are connected on the ground. Grateful for all you are doing using your platform so we can be part of the solution. Great to see the heavy work of road repair/paving and electrical lines being done so rapidly too. Shout out to all those professionals on the ground and all who've created and humaned the distribution centers!
What a heart warming video! I have been worried the folks out there were getting cold. Thanks so much for this! Being a carpenter, you may appreciate this idea: Cordwood Building may be helpful for building some tiny homes up in the mountains where all the trees went down. It is very pretty when done!! You cut the same length and put the cut end out (It looks like a stone house). This can be any thickness you want the walls to be, or use shorter 12 inch cuts and a double wall with a gap between to add insulation which is super energy efficient. I think all they use is sandy mud, ashes, lime & water to create a mortar (Or the regular way with cement, sand, lime and water). You put up your support beams like a barn, but allow for a rounded or octagon look due to the thickness of the walls. Windows and doors are framed normal.
Thank you for continuing to show the area and bring updates to us who are not local to the area. I was wondering about your swimming hole and also the places where you and the boys fished. Thanks for all you’re doing! ❤🙏🏼
You say your small efforts but I know you are making BIG impacts with what you are doing..Just do what God wleads you to do, and God will multiply your efforts. God bless you for what you're doing.....what everyone is doing.. I live in Texas & praying for everyone that has been impacted by the horrific devistation from the hurricane & praying for every single group & person that volunteer to help these communities. God bless you all. My heart hurts for all.
I've always known that you have a beautiful heart Arthur. And you are showing it to us all during this tragedy. Thank you for being a blessing to the people that need help. And thanks for sharing it all with us. God bless you and your family ❤❤❤ much love to you.
It is so encouraging to see that there are at least some places where everyone who needs help is receiving it. Thank you for sharing and for doing everything you can to supply help where it is needed.
You have skills, knowledge, and the capability to think out of the box which should be pretty useful right now. Some folks are becoming able to move into sheds, campers, tiny houses, and trailers. Some type of skirting would keep these warmer with less effort, gas, and propane. Some folks are in tents and there are ways to live warmer in tents than sleeping directly on the ground. Some of these things could do with temporary, exterior walls to block or deflect the wind and maybe even a hint at a dead air space; pallets on side with minimal more construction than a compost bin are what some of our homeless camps use.
@@christinemose7308 Appropriate yes ... but that is more expensive than say a Buddy Heater. Things are arriving in ones and twos. Even so, a trailer of any type can get mighty cold in the winter in cold country. A tent is better than none, a trailer better than a tent, and so on. Still while not magazine perfect or pretty, there are ways to make them more habitable with less electricity, propane, or gas usage.
