Largest Ball of Twine in Minnesota - The Smallest Munchkin - Battleship of Land! 

This might be the only time where a freshly mowed ship means a good thing

Anybody else think Jacob should write a book about all of the fun, interesting and goofy knowlege he has learned from his travels?

Mosquitoes? We called those our Minnesota Airforce 😂

Seeing all those mosquitos on you had me scratching and slapping at nothing like a fool.

Someone needs to start a RU-vid channel that focuses on just small town festivals around the country. I think that would be fun

In the words of weird Al "We wanna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota" They picked the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

Yesssss!! A couple of my favorite people combined: Weird Al & The Carpetbagger!!

Wow, I’m sorry you got eaten up by mosquitoes! If they itch bad, there’s a product called After Bite, it helped me a lot.

The idea of a word war two battleship sunk into a field is fascinating to me. I'm a huge fan of Weird Al so I was familiar with the song, but I didn't know it was actually a thing. Like you said, you learn something new every day. Also, Weird Al is a National Treasure. What nation you ask? All of them.

Yeah, Sioux Falls currently has a crazy mosquito epidemic right now after the river flooding. Soon as I saw you were there I went Oh No! Stay safe, CB!

RU-vid Influencer crushed by falling raspberry! Film at 11:00!!!

A World War 2 battleship sunk into a field is just so fascinating to me. Weird Al would be so proud Jacob!

Jacob since u are in Minnesota there is the Prince museum. Just a suggestion.

Coffin ships were used to transport people from Ireland during the Great Famine. They earned the name because of the high number of people who died on them. People sailing on coffin ships faced disease, quarantine, and other hardships.

Aww, you're on the way to my grandma's house! My mom grew up in Litchfield, just a few towns down highway 12 from the ball of twine.

I'm so excited you are coming West!!! 👏👏

3:49 I would give anything for a sip of The Ultimate Beverage

Weird Al would be proud!

The Colorado state fair is August 24th - September 3rd

YAY! Thank you Hopkins, Minnesota for the raspberry! The ball of twine is glass enclosed so you can't accidentally bump it when taking a picture and cause it to roll away and unravel.

Love the video, Jacob. It's always interesting to see there you end up next. Safe travels, my friend, and take care as always.

Milton Bradley needs to make a Jacob the Carpetbagger road side attraction trivial pursuit game! Bsafe have fun 😁

We loove your videos Jacob!

Yay!! State Fair Season!!🎉😊

Good Morning Jacob 🙋🏽.

That ball of Twin was moved on my Birthday in 1991. I was 4 Years old. Thats awesome. Oddly enough, I lived in MN from 2009 to 2019. Neat. One day I will run into you Jacob. Love the videos. Keep it up, man.

Hi Jacob... I hope you are keeping super well nice to see you visit the ball of twine again..XXX

I couldn't watch this video yesterday because I had no power due to Hurricane Beryl, but luckily my power came back on late last night. Anyway, this is my favorite type of video, where you just visit a whole bunch of random stuff. But I also very much enjoy the state fairs, so I'm looking forward to the next couple of months! Stay safe on that long, lonesome road, Jacob!

I remember my parents taking me to Santa Land in Vermont back in the 70's. It was broad daylight. Middle of the afternoon, and I got completely eaten alive by mosquitos. Even though we hosed ourselves down with mosquito repellent, but it did NO GOOD. The mosquitoes just didn't care. They chased us out of the park. I was so heavily covered with bites that my parents contemplated taking me to the emergency room. I don't have a lot of memories of that but I HAD to have been really bad for my parents to consider taking me to the hospital for mosquito bites. The thing I do remember is that the bites were even all over my head. The mosquitoes literally dug through my hair and bit all over my scalp. Before going into the park, my parents sprayed me down with Off mosquito repellent, But the mosquitoes just ignored it. I have a theory that so many people went to that park with mosquito repellent on that the local mosquitos probably got immune to it or figured some way around it. Either that or there's something about me that blood sucking insects like that overrides the DEET. Mosquito repellent never, ever, did a decent job with me. I can wear the contents of an entire can of OFF and still get eaten alive.

Requests: Yes, please stay at the Twine Ball AirBnB someday. A compilation video with a Twine Ball theme: the alligator farms and tarantula ranches, the place where you can drive through the middle of a tree and what not...all the places in the song that Jacob may have ticked off already. And finally, if it could be arranged for Jacob to meet Weird Al, I could die happy. Hopefully not right then, though. 😂

Only you could make a show about a ball of Twine interesting enough for people to wanna see it 😮😅😮❤ Everytime you say twine we need to take a drink 🎉😂🎉

Sir I am excited about how many state fairs you can do this year

The Carpetbagger always finds interesting stuff to show us. The sheer creativity involved in recreating a battleship without a battleship was cool. Hope he doesn’t suffer too badly from those mosquito bites.

Please don't tell the internet they can drink the "Raspberry Juice" 😂

I love your channel!!! Thank you for your wonderful videos. Safe travels!!

Love this video carpetbagger ❤.

Francis Johnson's ball needs a little extra support these days. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us!

I suggest you carry emergency bug spray for sudden mosquito outbreaks.

I wish you have a safe journey and and a great adventure Jacob 😊❤. Can't wait to join your adventure too 😮 also don't forget to wear sunscreen because it's gonna be sunny at the west ✨️😆

Oh, yah for sure that’s Minnesota don’t ya know 😂❤❤❤

Good Morning YA ALL " Jacob rhe Carpetbagger..!!

I plan on going to the Montana State Fair in Great Falls at the end of July. Haven't been in 41 years!

Have a great trip, Jacob ❤️

State Fairs Lets Go Can’t wait Jacob it’s going to be a fun next couple months

Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota! My wife grew up in the next town east of there (Dassel, which you reference in your video also). We got one of our dogs there (Darwin) about 20 years ago and named him Bailey after the twine ball (baling twine). He was a great dog, may he RIP.

The New Mexico State Fair is September 5-15 2024

I'm streaming for church. O couldn't have done it without your help. Your videos don't always apply to my work but, they are always interesting. Thank you.

Great video Jacob, as always!

Have you thought of experiencing a police dog competition? They often have police dog demonstrations at fairs. Or military dog demonstrations?

The light show on the Crazy Horse monument after sunset is amazing

Love this video!!!

Come to Fresno!! it’s about three hours from Sacramento. Go to the coolest miniature golf course ever, Ghost Golf. We also have the. Forestiere Underground Gardens and bravo Farms a great zoo a museum but come for Ghost Golf. It’s the coolest it’s like a dark ride but with miniature golf as the vehicle.

On a hot summer that raspberry could be the best drink

Poor guy I'd be freaking out over mosquitos too ❤

I always thought The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota was just a Weird Al song!

I've been to the largest ball of twine

They were the ships that carried at the Irish immigrants away from the starvation of Ireland during the great potato famine the reason they called the coffin ship. Many people died before they got here.

I hope you will come too the high Sierra Nevada and California it's fun especially Virginia City Nevada and Bodie Park California 👋👍

2:54 good morning come over here pine city Minnesota it very nice beautiful here good today. 👍

Kudos to your RU-vid Channel, Jacob! 👍👍👍👍

beautiful intro with the bell background, thakns again Jacob, be safe bruh

Make sure you see the old Disney California Adventure letters that used to be in front of the entrance. They are now at the Cal Expo.

Really interesting. Thanks jacob

Good morning Jacob

We all know that the Minnesota State Fair is the best

At the end of WWII, my father headed home with a bunch of other sailors on the USS South Dakota. He would have loved the monument. My Dad died five year ago on the tenth of this month. Wonder why so many mosquitos? Hope you will be ok Jacob. The USS South Dakota Monument is clever and well done.

That site needed a penny squasher with a picture of a mosquito on it.

Did you miss the Weird Alley road sign dedicated to Weird Al which is adjacent to the Twine Ball?

Tcb always off those blue’s!

Hopefully you’ll make it to Maryland to do the Maryland State Fair. If not, maybe next year for 2025.

Hello Jacob welcome to Sioux Falls my hometown I wish I would have knew you were in town I would have came and said hi. The mosquitoes are never this bad we got a bunch of rain and flooding recently causing them to multiply at a crazy rate. If you can come to the South Dakota state fair by September they will be all gone. This is very unusual they are never that bad. A little deep woods off and they leave you alone. I been to west Monroe Louisiana and the mosquitos were about as bad there as there are here. Which is crazy no bodies of water big enough around here lol. Safe travels Jacob!

The flooding and standing water are a perfect breeding ground mosquitos. Iowa is inendate d with floods right now!

here in Md when i was a kid, a week or so before easter the wizard of oz was shown, what a magically time we looked forward to

Jacob's content will aga very well, he should definitely plan for other things but still keep it intimate.😊

Camera looks great!

Was the "Hey you all" purposely timed to the bells?

Awesome video as always Jacob keep up the awesome work and be safe out there

Jacob I recommend Bug Bite Thing for mosquito bites! A true lifesaver

I know you're not a weather watcher but it's been 110+ in Sacramento everyday this week. Be prepared. Also, if you're thinking about Vegas on this trip, it was 121 yesterday.

You've been in Minnesota 2x this year missed you both times 😢 Anyways Frances Gumm was actually the name Judy Garland went by when she was in Minnesota & Reality is Judy Garland never returned after stardom & her daughter Liza Minnelli visited once never to return - I've resided in the area for much of my life & i will leave you to guess as to why they didn't return - Great Video Jacob Thanx 🌞✌👍

Weird Al & Carpetbagger kool

Cue Weird Al’s incredible song….

In Sioux Falls was there anything anywhere about Supernatural? That's where Sheriff Jody Mills and Bobby Singer were from. I know that in Lawrence, Kansas they had plaques for the Winchesters.

How is Jen, and why did she not join you on your family reunion? She hasn't posted a new video in a while. I hope she is well!

Hopkins, MN is the home of Mystery Science Theater 3000!

I love raspberry one my favorite

Hope you can make it to the Oklahoma state fair this fall

Jacobthecarpetbagger u the man always interesting videos and well done on your way to 500k jacobmaniacs brother✌️👍 oh yeah

Love the shout out to Oconomowoc That's where I'm from. Oconomowoc is doing a celebration in Aug for The Wizard of Oz

I bet if you unraveled that sucker it'd roll all the way down to Fargo, North Dakota.

Jacob, invest in some deet spray for your adventures! Dawn and dusk are the worst times for them.

Jacob, use Hand Sanitizer for bug bites. A nice cheap alternative to After Bite.

Aw rip to her I got to meet Jerry before he died love the wizard of oz

You need a giant cat to play with the largest ball of twine.

That happened to me with mosquitoes years ago and it was definitely a panic moment for sure. Sorry that happened to you!

You should stop off at Franklin MN on a Wednesday sometime. It's BBQ night at the Bar q!! 😉

Nothing epitomizes roadside Americana more than the largest ball of something or other. Those mosquitoes were just fans of Jacob and wanted to say hello.

2:03 Winnipeg, MB, Canada and Calgary, Alberta Canada. Winnipeg has a world class human rights museum and east of Calgary in Drumheller, AB, the Royal Tyrnell Museum is a world class natural history museum in Drumheller, AB. You might not be willing to drive across any International borders on trip or left your passport at home, so that might be for a future road trip and not this one. Back in the states, in Walnut Grove, MN, there is the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum, in Duluth, MN, the 3M Museum, and north of Duluth in Hibbing, MN, the Greyhound Bus Museum filled with vintage Greyhound buses is where Greyhound started at. Even the Laura Ingalls Museum in Walnut Grove has an exhibit dedicated to the 1970s TV Show there.

I just listened to that song, it was hilarious!!! Yeah the Mecca of Albino Squirrels is… a unique name for an attraction. I figured it was made up! Check the song out if you haven’t heard it! 😂 you’re the best Jacob! - Justin

It is the world's largest ball of twine created by one man.
