    Great video, thank you for taking time to make it and sharing!
  • That was a pretty sweet trip and what beautiful views you got with the drone! I need to start looking into that TAT and get me some maps.
  • @jaybrown651
    Very nice video. Better put together than some with 100 times the subscribers.
  • I think FS 63 has been closed a long time. I went through it in July and it was closed then. I still went because I didn’t want to take the detour, and it was washed out, but the Jeep would have made it easy (at the time I went through)

    This is AWESOME! I just learned about the TAT. I bought my first motorcycle about 3 months ago and live in NC not too far from the Parkway. I have a few questions if it's okay. (1) Would a regular gps have signal for the entire ride? Is there a particular one you would recommend? The one I have is just an old garmin. (2) How remote are those fire roads. Would you feel comfortable riding this alone or would it be best to partner up on it? Thanks

    Great video ! How long ( time and distance ) was it from start to blowing rock ? And can you recommend gear for mapping. Thanks so much !

    I'm enjoying your TAT videos (just watched your new Arkansas section) and getting pumped about doing this. I live in TN, but this section is probably where I'll start, maybe at Linville Falls and work my way back to TN). I just got the NC and TN maps from the TAT website. I'm in a 3rd Gen 4Runner, so I should be fine if/when 4WD is necessary. Are there any sections where a 2WD would struggle (wondering in case some of my friends join that don't have 4WD)? I've heard the Hurricane Creek section can be challenging (but I see on the TAT map there is also another way around that). Thanks!

    Awesome trip and vid. Do you carry a chain saw for downed trees over the road?
  • @paulspeakman551
    Great video. Assuming you guys aren't Subaru haters and might have some knowledge of their capabilities, do you think a stock Outback (older, non-CVT) with good AT tires could manage this trip?

    Cool video would love to run this trail any links to a trail map of the track y'all took for those of us not on Facebook or Instagram
