The Giant Trees

[AnonymLonen]

Holy shit. I live in crescent city, James Irvine Grove is like 30 minutes away! Damn, if I'd have known I would have pestered him to get a beer or somethin! The redwoods around here are absolutely beautiful. I'm glad he got a chance to admire them. It's a small world.

[Kargoneth]

lol... Thunderf00t the predator alien.

[davisfleetwood]

#UN# I sm curious to get your take on the State of the Union. I hsve mine posted now....

[TomDeToys]

wow, this is totally nice to follow your trip and your friendly voice! thanx, brother! i am touched by this beauty you show, my heart goes BOOM and little teardrops... must be an old indian soul in me, as inner pictures just start speeding and ritual songs i can listen in my cells by watching your clip... wow... my hugs & best wishes for you!!!!! greetings from berlin, germany

[GonzoZodiac]

The way you can explore so freely truely makes me jealous.

[JuzDotA]

Envious I guess? Jealous brings about a tinge of .. hate? Haha. Me too (:

[TheStevenBrown]

I would love to get to travel there one day. But maybe I should go visit more of the big Kauri tree's in my own country first.

[paulusmagirl]

Redwoods eat sound.

[FreeWorldist]

The Predator impression was absolutely hilarious! Props.

[Gaawachan]

HA! I knew what those were the second I saw them! Baleen is cool.

[3mate1]

Yup... hard to believe thats what we made malted milk powder out of Baleen.

[Gaawachan]

Uwah... I didn't need to know that. D:

Yuckers...

[ConcoidialFracture]

You see, this is why I hate watching your videos as well as I love to; YOU'RE there, and I'M not! I want to go and see it all myself so badly!

Damned loggers. The time would most certainly have called for some serious monkeywrenching.

[ShadowDw3ller]

LOL at 2:40 (predator)

[SillyCyban]

Watch out for Ewoks

[southpawOO7]

how long does this trip last??? i would love to take that much time off work...

[christo930]

I don't know why they had to cut down so many of the redwood trees. They destroyed something you can't get back. To me, they are more valuable as trees than as wood.

[NcountR]

i know this is ridiculous, but every time i see the pacific northwest it reminds me of the absolute BEST marijuana in the world!! Humboldt County....ahhhh to be young again.....i miss those years

[NomadSoul76]

I've just realized.. TF needs to get a series on the Discovery Channel. They've got to have a few disposable shows they could drop to pay TF to go around the world showing us natural wonders.

[AjaPuppy]

@NomadSoul76 They can drop the Sarah Palin show

[rjswolfman]

isn't it supposed to be bad for the roots to walk that close to them, i know the put fences around the giant sequias in yosemite, or does the species there have deeper/ more robust roots?

[christo930]

Yes it is. The largest tree is no longer the largest because the tourists who visited the area packed the ground so much that it hardened it and the top few meters of the tree died because of it. They won't tell people which one is the tallest for that reason.

[TonyBtheEG]

Absurd sized trees.

[JuzDotA]

I hope I will be able to visit that place. Would be cool to be able to trek with thunderf00t ehh?

[Morkindie]

this log is not entirely stable!!! Not entirely stable?

[adafuns]

lol 3:34

thunderfoot is a predator.

[ShalloeThought]

sounds like thurs mushrooms in that thur Forest

[jonstewartfanboy]

Love the Predator reference! lol

[Jimb0can]

That was beautiful! Thanks for filming this Thunderf00t.

[PISTOLcm]

Looks like Jurassic Park.

[shalylol]

I envy you :(

[tiarella]

So amazing! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this with us!!! :)

[shalylol]

Yeah, people who enjoy nature are fucking pathetic.

[Bighairyteets]

"i feel like predator up here" lol

[greatwood]

the thing in the first part is a whale toof!

[theshadowify]

Thunderfoot is the Predator. Run for your life.

[TinyCoconut]

OMG do you have IR on that camera?

[marc137]

Maybe he just turned on the negative colours on his Camera?

[XenMonkey13]

You need to go the the Trees of Mystery visitors center and touch Babe the big blue ox's massive dangling balls.

:)

haha!

[gormanilius]

lol. I would actually feel more like im on that planet with ewoks than lord of the rings.

[mbnp1701]

nice video! damn, those trees are big! not as big as qdragon's balls, but still...

[alx90x]

omg i need 2 go there and experience that

[bshieldsbb01]

I think I spotted Wicket in the bushes

[CaptChrisT]

Lol that Predator bit cracked me up.

[216trixie]

The north California coast is my favorite, and The most beautiful place on earth.

[sillyworx]

Great vid of your visit to Endor :)

[malidite]

I applaud you awesome Star Wars reference

[TehNarrator]

What were those creatures that were wearing blue jeans and fannie packs?

[SomewhereInTheGray]

Predator and Lord of the Rings all in one video. Yes!

[JBSauce]

His description of the death of sound in the forest reminds me of the same feeling I had on a mountain range in central Mexico. When we got to the top of the mountain, no sound from below was loud enough to reach the top. No wind blew. It's actually a bit uncomfortable to hear your own heartbeat so clearly. Silence becomes stifling.

[dumfree254]

I like the video but the sidebar kinda threw me. I guess these trees judge people based on their religion!

[TheLastBaroness]

Amazing.

[netmystique]

You're making me homesick for the west.

[netmystique]

You're making me homesick for the west.

[cookieeatbird]

lol. Thunderf00t is awsome! He's like a kid going on the tree man. Awsome PHD

[3rdeyewildopen]

Thanks again for the video

[ericv00]

Going anywhere in western Washington? I would love to try to join in an outdoors excursion.

[qabala]

If you get the chance, try to get up to Trinidad in Humboldt County.

Absolutely stunning.

[samOFblorx]

Thunderf00t, aren't you scared you'll get ticks on you from walking around in the woods? I would be.

[AnimaRaptor]

lol, I never thought I'd see the day when TF didn't just decide to recklessly stand some place dangerously high and exposed. :p

[samOFblorx]

Lol, my thoughts exactly.

[oexnorth]

Love the predator reference!

[NotJames1]

At 2:39 why are you trying to frighten them? You should be telling them to bow down

[wrongwayup]

Damn I would love to wander around those state parks someday.

[thookerov]

Over here ..... turn around ....

[SsuperKyle]

If Thunderf00t falls in the woods, does he make a sound?

[Zombiefisting]

and if your heart stops beating, absolute silence

[insightnew]

Thanks for sharing! Those of us who are housebound with families appreciate your mobility and talent for video.

[phatjesus008]

watch out for the ewoks TF!! great footage bro!

[BravoBigscreen]

Spectacular. You have the urge to whisper. Afraid you will waken the towering beasts and they will start to lumber towards you? ;) I heard a lightsaber in there somewhere. I'm sure of it! Magical. In a sense.

[Pulseczar1]

I thought he was pretending to be The Predator.

[DeemotheAtheist]

he was lmfao awesome!

[BravoBigscreen]

Pulseczar1, yes he was doing Predator, but I couldn't help seeing this scenery as Ewok & Speeder Bike material! :)

[usedforbattle]

GET TO THE CHOPPER!

[ZOMGitsCriss]

gosh I love those vids

[5pecular]

lol coward

[mchance27]

This is going to make DPR crap his pants.

[debbieomi]

Or FAP like crazy! :-P

[RhyszKrispies]

OMG you sound like Bear Grylls from ultimate survival narating. Another great vid.

Regards,

Rhysz

[PhoenixDown11]

wow awesome! loved the predator part! haha

[AbdultheImpailler]

I love walking through old growth forest like that, we have some great spots on Vancouver Island that have HUGE red cedars and douglas firs, sitka spruce, they are so big it takes 6 or 7 people or hug them, fingertip to fingertip.

come to the island, you're only a days drive away!!!! we can go hug a few trees and have a pint!

[queenboxi]

you find all the coolest places to visit

[funkyrimpler]

wonderful.

[plopo404]

Thanks.. glad to see your footage. It drives me nuts when fucktards like How the World Works claim forests are crops just like corn.. It's replanted. How can you compare a 20 year crop to a yearly crop?

We could easily curb the amount of forests cut down by using bidets as opposed to toilet paper.

The other thing that erks me is slash and burn deforestation which wastes potential power generation or goods at least.

[mentalmercury11]

I wish to visit the red woods one of these days.

[wjfox2006]

Fabulous.

[EvilBproductions]

wow that's almost as wide as your neck Thunderf00t !! :~) hehe

peace

EvilB

[IFloridaMotocrossI]

Love the ending..

[azaz129]

Holy shit, TF's the Predator!

[Persephone500]

Amazing, I have a friend that walks through those parks and I never quite understood the beauty until this video.

Thank you.

Loved the LOTR comment and just enjoyed you exuberance and your feelings were contagious.

Great stuff.

[banonKING]

Predator and LOTR references in one video! This is truly special.

[TheBronzeDog]

That's just awesome.

...Have you done a video on the details of dendrochronology, yet, TF?

I'll look later, when I can risk getting sucked into reliving the massive awesome of your other videos.

[kingsalmonsteak]

You've pretty much gone on the road trip I've fantasized about for a while. The redwoods have always held my fascination.

[dragonofthedarknight]

Man, I wish I was there right now! D:

[comface]

****STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE VIDEO!****

My guess was whale teeth! Sucess!

[ScottishAtheist]

Looks like Endor. Beautiful.

[AbbeyNormal]

LOL at the Predator-vision.

[1n354a]

spent quite a bit of time in the Sequoia park in SE CA and I share your astonishment and wonder at the size of those monsters....

[DJBerber]

I got to see these in BC here in Canada. Brilliant forests.

[GuppyPal]

Incredible.

[Joshewah777]

Hahaha Predator at 2:38

[lyfecom]

lmfao!!!!!

i was waiting for the Lord of the rings comment, you nerd!!!!! lol.

love this video, tf! and nice touch with the predator scene. =)

[IdoloR]

awesome T_T

[Ravindra9689]

O_O....Fern Gully?...Did you see teh faaaiiiries?

[cmbears17]

awesome

[blackwolf1272]

Oh this is great. I was at this place (or very close to it) about 15 years ago, when we went from the Mexican border up all the way to Portland. I'll never forget that.

[TherianthropeAndrewH]

Amazing I wish I could be there myself.

Haha reading some of the other comments, Predator & Ewoks, truly nature is mans greatest inspiration.

Its too bad were destroying it.

[itstheownage]

great video

[Knews2Me]

I love the Red Woods. When I was younger my family would make the trek from Portland down the coast visiting various beaches, light houses, camp grounds, and used book shops along the way.

[LostSimply]

Inspiring.

[itsbizbuz]

Did you meet some Ewoks there ? ^___^

[timonczesq]

2:34 - 2:43 Predator FTW! ;p

[UtopiaLtd]

Man you are a nut job - Predator.. Your videos make me wish I weren't stuck in this dang office.

[WKaliberr]

trees, those useless trees

produce the air that i am breathing

[Jegermeister0]

need HQ

[tomiontomion]

Thanks. Great one.

[qumulus22]

Haha, that predator allusion was awesome...

[utoad9]

TF's better judgement won out when he decided not to climb the fallen tree. Darwin's theory in action!

[dannypantsgm]

If I hear anything about them finding skinless bodies suspended upside down in that park, I'll shit.

[krusnell]

I think that Canada would be a good place for you to visit. There is very little people per the amount of land. A lot of things have been preserved because of this.

[coolintruddle]

Especially Vancouver Island.Cathedral Grove has some nice ones still.There's a stump there that has some historical events lined up with it's rings.I think jesus is about 2/3rds of the way in.2500 years old.

[REBMike1]

Thunerf00t in woods, watch out for bigfoot man.

[davidproper]

Breathtaking scenery.

[TheNewDanSoup]

2:34 , I think all the fresh air is getting to him. XD

[pinochet222]

yeah, he's losing it, maybe it's time to return home LOL

[musicgeniusno1]

Fantastic. I love tall trees. Cutting them down shows the selfish & greedy side of human nature.

Glad you sorted out the false DMCA's TF :)

[Noah2112]

If thunderf00t falls and breaks his neck in the woods, does it make a sound?

[ferretfudge]

lol... that's either a philosophical statement or a threat :S I can only hope its the former.

[TaoOfPhilosophy]

Perhaps both! That would be interesting.

[crackerkiller89]

Yes, cause he can hear it.

[hippydude89]

that story about the loggers made me pretty pissed.

[songcovers]

someone give this guy an award for awesomeness

[gormanilius]

+1 for lord of the rings reference =D

[fonna]

Lord of the Rings, exactly what I thought.

[NathanWubs]

A other amazing video, I love all these vids make more please as they are amazing.

[junka22]

6:51 "Yes, there is. Follow me!" that was cute, he sounded very enthusiastic :). Epic forest, you could almost live in a hollow tree like that :P

[pantera692]

Anyone know the music used at the end of this (and a few others on this channel, actually) video?

[Katalyzt]

Intense ★★★★★

[Iced1992]

I'm going to keep a copy of my favourite Bible passages, so I can hand them out to girls like this.

Such a wonderful (non-existent) relationship with a (non-existent) God that's horrendous in every way? Makes me sad.

[Andyrude666]

Thx TF for reminding me of the beauty of that place. I was there in 2002, it is truely a magniffercent place.

[fishbone937]

omg lol at predator reference

[Dall5000]

Sounds like my kinda place; peace and quiet.

[0okamino]

Good call, tf00t. Fear of rickety support is not cowardice, it's healthy situational judgment and self-preservation. We already know too well that it's not the height you're worried about.

[nishbrown]

I haven't been there since 1986!!!

Nice!

[FishApprentice]

How amazing would it be to be able to time lapse a redwood over 2k years? =D

[Deflectioneer]

Thunderf00t would make a great narrator on National Geographic, haha.

[WoWaddict3d]

Amazing

5*

Lol at pretador thing.

[deconverts]

Thanks for the video and the description.

You're one of those people I would love to go out to dinner with; keep making these videos and I know I don't have to tell you this but, don't let the idiots get you down.

[acouragefann]

if you stop breathing, the only thing you'll hear is your heart beat....but not for long xD

Still, this really shows "beauty in the universe" Wish I'd look that good in 2000 years

[TheOtherSide100]

Probably best you didn't walk up that plank. The flakiness of it is why these trees don't get cut down. They typically splinter on impact with the ground.

Haven't been there since 1994. Great video!

[tehpageofcups]

LOL, I kept thinking Ewoks ;)

[superchang847]

wow thats a big tree.

[Jallenbah]

I lol'd at the predator bit. I got the whale tooth bit right :D

Amazing trees. Thanks.

[METALMEATPLOW]

LOL at the predator thing.

[Nocivel]

At least you were not captured by any Ewoks...

[OmiXel]

As always TF - 5 star. spectacular views

[SSanf]

Thanks for sharing!

[saxmanchiro]

I loved standing next to the Giant Sherman. I can't remember how many homes it would build but it was incredible. I drove my pick-up truck through the one that tourists are allowed as well. Redwoods are massive.

[ScreamingTc]

They really cut down all the largest trees to make as much profit as they could? That saddens me in ways that it's hard to articulate... They existed longer then most people could easily imagine, and deserved a better fate then that.  :(

[8WholeThing]

TFoot's voice sounds so reverent when he talks about the trees.

[liquidaardvark]

That wasn't your courage failing you TF, that was your brain working. I walked across a similar fallen log one time, then I walked out of the creek it had been suspended over. Great vid as usual.

[wonderpope]

LOL at the predator sound :D

[LynxChan]

LMAO, I loved you're little gamer moment of Predator Vision.

Our whole notion of scale sort of fails us with things that big. You can be impressed by big trunks, but looking up eventually the angly is such that you get only a vague notion of height.

[slappywag88]

Lol, predator bit was so funny when you changed the colour of the video ha ha

[blaatann]

I want Thunderf00t to write the ultimate naturalist travel-guide to the western USA. I would read the hell out of that book. And then I'd actually have a good reason to visit the states.

[playgrrrr]

i dont think that any amount of tourists would do good to the environment they come to see.

[kyral210]

Thunderf00t ftw

[BananaHurricane]

That's really amazing. That place is actually on my list of places to go before I die.

[SANTARII]

Looks amazing. I must visit this place!

[Ictinike]

The beginning... those whale baleen?

[Ictinike]

Ooops. Covered at the end... my bad

[jalgjalg]

6:10 - See how that looks!

Freudian thoughts about being born in my mind... :-)
