3 Days in Charleston South Carolina (A New Twist on a Southern Classic)

Cody literally sounded like my husband and grandkids! It’s haunted and creepy. 😂 Everytime we go somewhere old or drive by abandoned places, they say that😂

Fantastic adventure.

Man!! Y'all done flung a craving on me with all that southern cooking! Y'all know how to eat.Great video

Great video!! We go to Edisto every spring, just a little further down the coast. I can never find shark teeth😢. I want to go fossil hunting with Ashby on our next trip! I have already looked him up. The Angel Oak is a must see! I'm still in awe of that tree everytime we visit it.

Charleston, was my home for 5 years. I sure miss it.

My wife and I love Charleston SC and Folly Beach! We camp there every summer!

Another great tourist take-along. I love your truck camping life!

Thanks for taking us there. Always wanted to go but never have. It’s gorgeous and that beach! And the cobblestones, I love.

Cubicles in colonial churches - according to Grok

Ah, the early colonial churches, those quaint little spiritual gathering spots in the wilderness of historical ambition! The separate stalls you're referring to, often called "box pews" or "family pews," had several practical and cultural reasons for their existence:

Comfort in the Cold: Colonial churches weren't exactly built for comfort. They were drafty, cold, and not the coziest places in the winter. Separate stalls allowed families to huddle together for warmth, like a small, wooden igloo, but less likely to melt.

Social Status on Display: Imagine walking into church and seeing a grid of wooden boxes. It's like a theater where the VIPs get the best seats! Wealthier families could snag the pew closest to the pulpit, showing off their status. It was less about the sermon and more about who could afford the best real estate in God's house.

Privacy and Distraction Management: With stalls, families could keep their children and possibly their dogs (yes, dogs!) from wandering around disturbing the service. It was a way to contain the chaos of colonial life within those four wooden walls. Think of it as a divine playpen.

Sound Control: In an era before sound systems, these enclosed areas helped contain noise. If little Timmy decided to practice his 'angry squirrel' impression, it would be somewhat less disruptive.

Cultural Continuity: Many of these settlers came from Europe, where similar setups were common. It was like bringing a piece of home with them, except this home had fewer comforts like central heating.

So, the separate stalls were a blend of necessity, social hierarchy, and a bit of old-world charm in a new-world setting. They were the colonial equivalent of modern-day office cubicles, but for worship, and with a lot less email.

Ok. THIS is my favorite vlog yet. I love history and this blew me away. I had no idea Charleston had so much history. I agree with Kelly. I learned more from that tour then I ever knew as well. Bucket list trip for sure!!!! Thanks so much. Stay safe. ❤

We went to the angel tree too😀

Kellie your meal plus Cody’s Mac n cheese had my name written all over it, yum 😋 and that pecan pie looked like it would have been the best I ever had!

Your adventure made me want to go to Charleston

18-30 million years old, I'm a Bible believer, and the earth is nowhere near that old. I did thorough enjoy this video, though 😊😊😊❤.

Just FYI—the locals call Folly Beach “Fa-lee” beach.

No ghost tour? Next time. Unitarian church cemetery to meet the ghost of Lavina Fisher.

Great video! I can’t help but point out that what you called Fort Sumter was actually Castle Pinckney. Fort Sumter is farther out near the mouth of the harbor.

Pineapples at your door mean something a bit different these days...along the same lines of being hospitable...extra hospitable lol.

well now I need to go back to Charleston and try Magnolia! yummmmm!!

We have visited this area several times and love Charleston, Folly and Edisto!
I'm feeling the need for a beach vacation!😁

I subbed that man,love his knowledge

I found a shark tooth that’s tan/ sand color, wasn’t dark like typical. It was so awesome. I found it in KW actually. Not sure if anyone’s ever found one there. Also you need to get a telescope scoop, it’s the best ever…. Maryland has a spot that’s known for Shark teeth. I go to my sisters. You would love it there. Over at Lusby md

This was the best!!!!!

Wow what an amazing time in Charleston!! I live in upstate SC , but there’s nothing like the coast ! Especially now that it’s cooled off 😅 I LOVE that when you ask for tea most restaurants assume you mean SWEET TEA ! I mean, is there really any other kind?! 😆 Loved the whole video! Y’all absolutely rock 😎

I’ve been watching a bunch of Charleston travel vlogs to get ideas for my upcoming trip. I’ve never seen Charleston Fossil Adventures! So fun!! Will definitely go and request your amazing guide! Thank you for sharing your beautiful trip! ❤

Loved this v😅die! My favorite place to visit is Charleston!!! Love Magnolia restaurant!!!

This was awesome. I’ve been to Charleston many times but didn’t realize there was tour to search for fossils. Now I need to go back sooner rather than later.

Soooooooooooo cool

What an amazing adventure! This is why I love your channel! 😊 Seeing y'all get so excited about those fossil findings along the beach is super exciting! Great find on that pre-historic shark tooth Cody for your next necklace! Amazing finds y'all! 👍👍

Pineapples are placed on the front porch when you are a swinger, looking for fun from another couple.

Charleston is my hometown. We live 15 minutes from the beach. I love Charleston and no better place to live.

I was wondering were the chicken fried chicken plate was, I saw you eating fried chicken with a fork and knife! Bad Bad Bad southerners don’t eat fried chicken with fork and knife, where are you guys from?

👍🏻

Love coastal towns with a lot of history....

Thanks for the share!! So cool !!❤

My family loves watching your videos! Charleston is amazing. Very curious on how many miles you’ve racked up on your truck so far?

Real nice indeed,

I’ve lived in SC my whole life, 63yrs. You can’t go wrong with Charleston!

Hey Family! Your trip looks so fun. You all do such amazing aerial footage filming your videos. Great video. We live in North Carolina and visit Charleston often. Be safe! ❤

If you are in North Florida, at Mayport Beach, just north of Jacksonville, the beaches there have historically had thousands of Sharks Teeth, which we've found. It's a constant treasure hunt. 😮

Salem, MA, where the “witches” were buried after the witch trials I believe may be older than the headstone’s in Charleston, SC. Great video! Love the history! Little long video.

We live in SC and Charleston is one of our favorite places, but you took us to new places that I want to visit! I love shelling, but I've never found a shark's tooth. Now I want to go out and look with Ashby! Thanks for doing such a great job on the history! Next time you go, you might want to take a harbor tour, it's pretty interesting, too. Love y'all! Thanks for staying excellent! Jane from SC❤🙏

I used to live in Charleston many years ago , always amazed me on all the shark teeth we would find

Loved this video..I have to admit that I went back a couple of times to watch him bump his head right after someone said watch your head .😅

Lowlife on Folly Beach ROCKS!

By far one of the?

Tooth hunting..so cool! What would be better is that your guide should have labels to put with what he verbally told you cause then you have a record of everything. Great video as always...Thanks
