These people were smart. No excessive bills such as mortgage, credit cards, internet or car note. They grew most of their food. They washed clothes and hung them on the line to dry. They were in good shape physically, because of all the working and walking. I admire them for living a simple, but smart life.

I love how he calls these "hillbilly shacks",. My granny lived in a home a lot like these with the old asbestos siding and wood stove heat, you cooked your water for it to be heated. She had 3 huge gardens she did all by herself and canned all summer and fall to eat in the winter. We had an outside root cellar to keep potatoes and apples and canned stupid fresh all winter. We dug coal during the summer and filled our shed for the winter. She worked so hard to survive. I loved spending time with her on the mountain in her cabin.. not everyone living in an old cabin was a hillbilly!

Just a tidbit of info: chocolate brownie was sold from before 1950s until the 2000s, Brownie Chocolate was similar to Yoo-hoo . Brownie was sold in Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama. It could be purchased until 2007, when it largely disappeared from store shelves. The can featured a Brownie elf on a surfboard on a wave of chocolate.

Out in the boon docks people leave things alone. We were looking for land in Tennessee and found an very old house that looked like the people just got up and walked out 40 -50 years ago. Everything was untouched including clothing, maps, cigarettes and all the beds were made. All the windows were ok and the roof was holding up so the house was doing pretty good considering. Now in the city's, everything gets ransacked and looted, the difference in the people I suppose.

I lived in that same type of house in southern MS'sippi, growing up in the 60's. I haven't seen the brick-tarpaper siding since the 60's. The lace curtains were most likely plastic lace curtains. The flooring is linoleum not vinyl. The sink is porcelain coated cast iron with just hot or just cold running water, not mixed. One of the houses we lived in had a cast iron hand pump in the kitchen and a draw well out the back door. No running water, hot water heater, or indoor toilet. Outdoor toilet, way out back. The other type that I grew up in was the shotgun house, tho very similar. The rooms were just arranged different. Even tho it wasn't easy living, I have nostalgic memories watching this. Almost like homesick.

The horses used to eat hay off the front porch. When we lived in the first part, I would feed the horses while standing on the front porch. The horses were given away, and now we have 4 dogs.

Its been 50 years or so since I've seen a tar paper shack. Our house had tar paper on the outside that looked like brown brick. Don't see that stuff anymore.

Gatorade was in glass bottles when I was a kid in the 80s. These aren't shacks. They're homesteads or as we "hill billies" say, 'Old home places'. They were the original homes placed on a family's land. Other houses were often added as children married off, or the original house was abandoned and a new house built closer to the main roads as running water and electric became more available.

My parents and I took a trip to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains in the 1970's when I was a young teenager. The brown house looks exactly like the house we saw where we saw a teenage boy washing his hair under the eaves trough off the front porch. It had just rained and the eaves trough above the porch was spilling over. I remember the house sit close to the road and had another house sitting close to it. Oh my gosh, I think it is the same house! I have a partial picture of the house somewhere. It put an impression on all of us and we remarked about it often throughout the years. Of coarse we never made fun of the boy doing that, but just hadn't seen that before. I remember he was a good looking kid. And I remember Chocolate Brownie soda. I didn't like it because it tasted like watered down chocolate.

Oh man, wished you would have looked at the newspaper on that box at the end, that might given us a timeframe of when they were abandoned. Those drink containers appeared to be tin, which leads me to believe that had to have been there at least 30 years, and probably 40 years

Looks to me like someone lived there until as recent as the early 90's. They were probably very elderly. I've noticed when you visit the homes of elderly people, it seems as if you stepped into a time capsule. When you reach a certain age, you tend to stop buying so many new things. When you go to an abandon home, it will seems older than you think until you see a satellite TV box. That's usually one of the few newer items you'll find in an elderly home. My great aunt and uncle (both in their early 80's) have a 20 year old computer they still use. The only conspicuous newer item in their house is the television. Other than that the countertop appliances are all 20 years old, but still work fine.

Hi, Dan. I have a question, dear. Since the protocol for urban exploration is leave everything the way you found it, why didn't you close the door when you exited the first house. Stay safe.
