Such a beautiful place with great weather. Thanks for sharing.

What a tiny house for a such a tall man. :o How could that massive chair fit into that tiny house. Awesome narration guys - fun, but informative! I loved it! Also, I love you included the historical footage. :)

[TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

The intro was absolutely amazing, Carl! I felt like I was watching a show on TV. Gray Job! Such a crazy and sad story. They have some of his things at Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum in MI. Talk about a legacy! Still the world’s tallest man? So cool! Loved this one! And great job with those facts Melissa! 💕❤️

[FLACKFAM]

That is so crazy that he was still growing! What a cool story, thanks for giving us this bit of knowledge!

[trvlnthru]

The opening door transition is so cool. You are getting better at editing all the time. This is a cool bit of history. I imagine Robert Wadlow's life was pretty complicated and often uncomfortable. It is cool that he kept such a positive attitude. Thanks for taking us along on your travels!

I Don't think anyone is beating his record. Dude is build different...literally. All of that old footage was so great to see. Didn't even know that existed. Thanks for this, Carl!

[theboguesandthensome]

So sad. He was only 22 when he died. Wow! And to die from a sore on his foot that now a days could have been cured. Thanks for sharing this. You always show me things I never knew existed.

[PrimeTimeTravelers]

Love the family doing things together. That's what it's all about. Great vlog!!!

[bradandamy]

This was fascinating. I imagine it must have been painful for him as he was continually growing. Really liked your door transition at the beginning!

[seveninalladventures]

Wow! Nearly 9 feet! It was very cool to see the old footage of him when he was living. Feet the size of three little kids' feet, wow!

The Alton Giant is one of those things I grew up with my whole life, but never knew until I was an adult how unique he was. You were right in my neck of the woods again

[MidwestDayTrips]

I love the production value in your channel. Everything I’ve seen you do has been entertaining as well. Keep doing what you’re doing.
