This is our boy @Wendigoon8 walking around Knobby Creek a week after Helene hit. Not only can Isaiah carry a very heavy ruck, but he can also post a fire video outlining the aftermath of Helene. That video is out now, forever thankful to have Isaiah. youtu.be/ncxRAvchBpQ?fe…

There are many questions swirling the internet about the aftermath of Helene, and there’s a burning question on the minds of the ARP team… how did we collect the most handsome, hardworking, and talented group of folks from all of Avery Mitchell Yancey? We may never know.

Another before and after on the North Toe. Sitting on the exact same rock, with the water a lot murkier and the noises less peaceful.

Though I couldn’t take the same footage, these videos are from the same spot. Only now, the footbridge is tangled in guardrails and rebar along the bank. May our rivers run clear as they once did.

In case yall are wondering what a daily commute looks like in WNC. This footage was taken yesterday (11/8), 6 weeks after Helene hit. This is our new normal.

October 1st: Day Five Ramseytown and Jacks Creek The scariest part was the isolation. Using time stamps and radios as the only ways to keep track of each other. We’d gone out this day to bring the water and MRE’s to people who still weren’t able to make it out of their homes.

September 30th: Day Four Murphytown, NC Trying to write less than 280 characters about snapshots of the most heartbreaking sights I’ve ever witnessed is for the birds today. I took these while we rucked 20 MRE’s into an area fully isolated from roadways. They can talk instead.

47 years ago today. “…thousands and thousands of rural families whose lives and livelihoods were so totally disrupted that it will take years to recover, while the scars and memories will be permanent. “

September 29th: Day Three pt.2 Three Mile Aid Station Thats me with the braids, walking alongside my sister after we’d set up our first signs for the station we’d run for a day now. With no service on the mountain, a working starlink was the most valuable thing we could offer.

September 29th, Day Three pt. 1 More searching. This shoddy video footage shows what used to be a road, where we’d realized our friend Don had to have walked on foot to get out of his home, taking only what he could carry.

September 28th, Day Two Cane River, Yancey County When it started, all we knew to do was find those we care about and make sure they were still around. My brothers left that day to lay eyes on our friend Don. Don’s house was taken by the river, alongside his family cemetery.

September 27, Day One. HWY 19E in Yancey County NC. Shortly after taking this footage, I’d spend the rest of the day trying to make contact with my family across the county line. This was the first day of a much bigger story many of us were yet to understand.

Hey so remember how I said we may just start our own organization??

The hurricane damage in Appalachia is severe. Entire communities are either cut off or unaccounted for. Generosity has meant locals no longer have to fear starvation, but the next step will be rebuilding what was lost. Infrastructure will take time, but everyone is ready to help. Doctors are working out of schools to fill prescriptions and people who just lost their homes are shoveling roads. The situation is extreme but so is the determination. Thank you all for the aid, prayers, and love. Never been more proud of home.
