anyways hey guys welcome back to foreign reacts today we're gonna be checking out a video titled
british footpaths are living history uk versus us i'm not sure what that even means
but i saw this video and i decided i'm going to check it out
and uh you know i've always been doing people talking about america compared to like where
they've been or you know like i moved to finland i i'd like to make a video compared in finland
to america you know so it's it's kind of interesting to see these people's
perspective and uh what they experience and what um they think of america after their experience
uh but anyways i just want to say that if you guys are new to formats please do subscribe and um
trying to grow this channel exponentially and want you to you to be a part of this channel
and i move into finland i think i said that pretty much just now and uh i'll leave a link for the
other channel that will be my channel where i'm in finland you know doing all kinds of crazy stuff so
you guys want to definitely go check that out a link will be there for that my instagram all
those type stuff will be in the comment section as well so click them and uh go check them out
but either way so we're gonna get right into this video because i'm really curious what does
he mean by british foot path or live-in history it's kind of weird let's get right into it guys
my name is mack i hope you're having a wonderful day today i'm just out here looking at some of
the fields that we helped farmer jim plant a couple weeks ago the oats are starting to come
up really really nice but you know what that's not what's really cool about where i'm walking
today i'm actually walking on a foot path now this is something that is unique i think to the
uk and possibly europe but definitely not in the u.s not like this let's talk about it let's go
where you going oh you right here okay so now of course the u.s has hiking trails and footpaths and
things of that sort but what's unique in this situation that's not replicated in the united
states is that this path cuts directly across private property it cuts through the middle
of the field and that's something i don't think you'll find in many places in the u.s
i kind of understand where he's taking this from right now like with all the shootings
that's going on right now like uh you know it's really sad about what happened a few days ago
uh it's really really sad like it's still hovering over you know the entire america like it's been
like a sequence like one today uh three more weeks another one a month another one like
it's terrible so many shootings bro it's crazy but i totally see where he's going out with this
but we're talking about a path that cuts across
private property across someone's field this wouldn't happen in the u.s
there are no trespassing signs and then just the general idea and knowledge that you can't cross
onto anyone's private property in the u.s and they definitely would not be maintained
footpaths cutting across someone's field again if farmers are generous landowners are generous and
if there's a historical path there that may allow it would run along the edge of the field i promise
you it would almost never cut across the center of what is a planet field that's what's really unique
about the british footpaths in relation to the u.s footpaths i get what you're trying to say now
okay so let's clarify the us absolutely has footpaths and trails and places where you
can walk all across the country just like here in the uk okay you can see it right here how
the path cuts directly through the middle of the field now in the us there's so many
places where farmers may allow paths to go along the edge of the field where there's a
historical path you could possibly see that but you won't see past cutting through the middle
of a planet field you won't anyways since we're out here let's go for a little
walk i like his video it's a little bit too pleasant if you know what i mean so
it fits right where i like it if you know what i mean too pleasant it's like
flowers and it's just environment i love it you know what i mean
when i say that the u.s doesn't have the history of foot pass i mean really doesn't have the
history some of these footpaths date back to 5 5000 bc back to the neolithic and the iron age
that's how old some of these footpaths are some of these neolithic footpaths were updated by the
romans between 43 and 410 a.d we're still talking really old i mean centuries old
so the anglo-saxons also developed some of these footpaths but between the romans and the neolithic
times these footpaths are really old and although it's hard to tell and date any specific path if
you follow us to its ending destination they could give you some clue as to which culture and time
frame and when it was updated last the great thing is that the uk continued to support these paths
and people are still allowed to use them as freely as they've always used them in historical times
and if you're wondering what this yellow flower is this in this field here uh this is in the brassica
family and this is plant is used to produce your rapeseed oil this is a rape plant and so it's a
rapeseed oil it's a nebraska family same family as cabbage and turnips and things of that sorry
bro that's literally a walking path bro like with the freak show
okay so here you can see right behind me you can actually see
there's a hedge this is a property line this goes from one farmer's property
into another but you can see this path that's put here between the hedges there's a dish there
covers the ditch the farmers actually maintain this to maintain the integrity of the footpath
but i tell you this is absolutely gorgeous it's beautiful as far as i can see
in the distant background you have the rolling english hills
uh just lovely then here you get this path walking through this field with all these
beautiful yellow flowers all around you i tell you yeah i wish you could be here to see this
in person but i'm trying to show it to you so you can appreciate it i appreciate it
okay i know i already mentioned it but seriously it is literally a sea of yellow it's just
as far as i can see you can see some trees sticking up through you know in different
places but just the fields just extend and it's just yellow field after yellow field after yellow
field and then i've walked through several yellow fields already to get to this point
so just it's just really beautiful if you you ever get a chance to drive out through
the spring through the english countryside you can see this for yourself if you ever get that
opportunity i do suggest you take it it is really beautiful if you can find a footpath walk along
the footpath because you have to stay on the footpath you can't go walking across the fields
i've never been on one of those before so um i don't know where i could find one except for
the one that he's speaking about so if y'all actually know any footpath that i could actually
walk like and if you guys could go in depth and tell me what about the footpath what's
so special why do we maintain it like please do in the comment section because i really i'm not
that educated about this um flip-flop uh thing but i do understand
so i'm starting to lose daylight so i'm going to finish up this walk but hey if you like this
