Thank you for a very pleasant visual experience for me, a 75 year old wheelchair bound retired Baptist pastor who used to love hiking and camping
Thank you so much for watching and for commenting! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Yellowstone will be coming out soon, and I hope you enjoy that one as well :) Cheers! -Andrew
Watch the videos long enough bro you’ll find out all they do is giggle and slurp and suck on their food. It’s disgusting I quit watching them they’re embarrassing. They should be wearing a little pink skirts.
There is something so completely relaxing about watching these. Thank you for these videos.
+Fish So good to hear you say that! It's great to know our videos are relaxing :) Thank you so much for watching! Cheers! -Andrew
in the end of this video, the narrator spoke and it brought me to tears. I recently lost my mom. she was my best friend and trail buddy. I went today for the first time she passed, and I went to commemorate her. I feel more at ease after that hike today, 6 miles on the Florida trail in big cypress national preserve. and it was the best thing I could have done. she was a fan of yours by the way. she thought you are cute, Andrew.
Hey Bryan - so sorry for your loss. We've seen your comments on a lot of our videos, and I'm glad you both got to watch them together. Nature is definitely a great way to reflect and remember people. I remember Thomas's grandfather passed away just before we went to the Tetons for the first time, but being out there helped him a lot.
I'm glad you got to get out and hike, and thank you for your comment. I hope you are doing well. -Andrew
Love the insert where u asked where's Thomas was hilarious.
+Sharonda London Haha, always gotta include Thomas somehow :) Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureArchives That one was excellent! Where was he? It looked really nice.
Finally a video about Ohio where people aren't making Ohio jokes
This video is from 7 years ago but I feel the need to say thank you for sharing your experiences. I enjoyed every bit of the high quality video and comments. I am currently recovering from knee replacement surgeries and planning my future backpacking/kayaking adventures. Thanks for making me laugh and looking forward to getting out there again.
You guys deserve a lot more subscribers than you have
+oliver klymiuk Thanks so much! That is flattering :) Thanks for watching! -Andrew
This is the best outdoors channel on UA-cam.
+KingDennisJensen haha, thanks so much for the high praise! ~Bryan
7 years later and I'm flabbergasted why they don't have at least a million subscribers. Hands down the best backpacking/adventure channel on UA-cam, STILL.
Every fire prefaces...”but Andrew!” Lol
Honestly this is one of my favorite channels of all time. I have no idea why they don't have more subs but they are amazing.
I doubt you folks still check this video, but I grew up hiking/swimming here.I live on the other side of the planet now, thank you for taking me back.
I lost it at the Thomas part.
Very cool video. This is literally 10 minutes from my house. I've spent countless hours here hiking, kayaking and rock climbing. Great place!
Awesome - glad somebody who knows the place so well approves of the video! I'll have to go back sometime and paddle around. Thanks so much for watching! -Andrew
This was great! Philosophy of Hiking and Camping in the Rain 101.
Remember, radio is best at line of sight. If radio1 is in a valley, and radio2 is in another valley, very limited distance.
I love the cooking more then anything!
Southern Ohio is a uniquely beautiful part of the state. Only driven through there but plan to go back and hike.
Of all the elements in your videos, the musings of life is what I love the most!
+The Bare-Footed Cambodian Hey Pete - thank you so much! So great to know that other people relate to our ramblings :) It wouldn't be the same without it! Thank you for watching! -Andrew
I love the message of this episode. You guys rule!
“The ups and downs and drama of life are what make life worth experiencing, joy is a wonderful feeling but sometimes it’s in the moments of loss and sadness that we truly reflect on the beauty of existence.”
Absolutely beautiful, I’ve been dealing with the hands down hardest situation of my life but this is something that made me feel like it has a purpose in my life and I will look back on troubling times with a smirk knowing I’ll be ok.
Andrew summed it up so well when he said the sense of sublimity around the fire was the same in Ohio, or out west, or really anywhere...
Great episode Sleeper, sour kraut and fungi! ❤ 🤣. All about the adventure great words!
Hi Guys, you have figured out the best way for your relationship with friends and nature. Hiking good thing to develop your condition, problem solving thinking and spent long time for your favorite pastime.
My great-great grandparents cut down a lot of trees in the Maumee (edge of Toledo) area between 1832, and 1845. They turned 160 acres into farmland, as did other members of my family. I get why that happened, but am conscious of what they destroyed in the name of progress, prosperity, and ...feeding themselves etc. I no longer live in Ohio, and as a child didn't spend much time in a forest aside from one large one in Toledo that my father use to camp in as a boy scout. Very nice to see an Ohio forest versus the endless strip malls and farmland. Excellent presentation BTW. Thanks for your efforts.
P. S. Great advice at the end. My wife and I just got back from Cumberland Falls State Park. Since she is pregnant, I figured we should get a cabin as opposed to tent camping!
So, we stayed in the cabin which had an awful mattress, we tossed and turned for hours before bailing out and driving 3 hours back home, forgoing a morning hike we had planned. It's good to know we can still enjoy the memory :)
+Evan Brand Absolutely! Plus, sometimes the best things to look back on and laugh about are those times when things don't go right. Cheers! -Andrew
WOW!!!! Any time I watched any of your videos, it just inspiring me to do it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful videos.
I just hiked Vesuvius this weekend for the first time, it was a very nice trail. I think we were literally the only backpackers on the trail this weekend. Thank you for helping to inspire my trip!
I can’t tell you enough how much I love this channel and how inspirational your videos are, I’m so ready to go explore. Thank you .
The editing and production of these full episodes are literally TV Hollywood worthy
Cool hike guys! Rain can be a bummer. I've woken up in a puddle a few times before...it sucks.
For sure. I'm fine if it's just falling while I'm hiking, but if it gets into the shelter, that's always bad, haha. Thanks for watching! -Andrew
3rd time watching this one....it's a PERFECT episode.
Finally got the Steinbrenner - calzone - SEINFELD! joke. Man for young guys, you sure can go deep with the TV, movie, video game references. Oh, and Simpsons too.
Just want to let folks know, there are additional rewards for viewing these videos multiple times. My hats off to you guys for all the hard work.
Hell ya Rob salad! Also, it might have been a great campsite if you could camp by that old fireplace.
Because of your videos I got inspired to film my 50 marathons in 50 days trail running adventure and bought a 4k notebook to catch up on all of your videos .....you guys make an awesome show......and love the gh5 shots.
I really respected what you said about doing things "the right way". Be safe and make it your own experience!
I really enjoyed this video. It was cool to see your friendship and you doing outside stuff together. Thank you for documenting it for us.
Aside from being super enjoyable to watch, best video work I've seen in most videos, ESPECIALLY in camping videos. Stoked to go to wayne now, thanks dudes!
Awesome job guys! Was not expecting the Thomas bit, that was a great touch. Andrew, you have to make fire by sun!
+Frankie Nicholson Haha, that was his idea too. Yes! I definitely want to do that in the next episode. I had my magnifying glass this time and everything, but alas, it was overcast and wet the next day. Thanks for watching!! -Andrew
I love the Thomas clips and outtakes in this one!
You can hike, camp for years and think you are prepared for anything and along comes mother nature and shows you that you're not......I really like the channel you guy's put together, life long memories
Too true. It's amazing how quickly you can learn things by making some mistakes while out in the wild. Really glad you enjoy the videos, and thank you for watching!
I started putting your full episodes playlist on random and listening at work. Thanks a bunch for making some interesting yet calming videos :) I appreciate you all.
Sauerkraut, Sleepy, Fungi. Thanks for another great adventure. With my bad hip I don't do many hikes but still love the outdoors. Being an Ohio native thanks for the local adventures guys.
+STEVE MUELLER Thanks so much for watching! It's always been my thinking that you can still enjoy the outdoors even if you don't hike a bunch of miles. And that's awesome you're from Ohio - I used to think we didn't have any good backpacking here, haha. Thanks again! Cheers :) -Andrew
The music in the earlier episodes makes me feel so nostalgic ❤️
Man, Ive said this before and Ill say it again. I LOVE YOU GUYS. ALL of you. Itd be great to see more thomas too!
Awesome video, highest quality. A complete joy to watch. Thank you.
+douchebaggins7 Thanks so much for your kind words - really glad you enjoyed it, and thank you again for watching!! -Andrew
great video guys im 51 lived around vesuvius all my life..great to see a nice video of the area
Thanks so much! It's great to hear the approval of someone who's familiar with the area. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks so much for watching. -Andrew
I really enjoyed this ! Thanks guys!
I just watched this one again, still one of my absolute favorite Adventure Archives of all time. The funny comments, all super fun to watch you guys laughing your way through the rainfly leakage situation and Bryan's floodout. Best line: There may not be one right way to camp, but let me tell you something, there is a WRONG way to camp!!! Hilarious every time i watch it. Got me through a boring lunch break here at the office. Thanks, guys.
That's awesome, and great to hear. It's always nice to know people appreciate the videos we do in places that aren't quite as grand or exciting as the big parks out west! Haha, thanks again so much for watching :) Cheers! -Andrew
You guys are awesome. Such a wonderful find. Thank you
It's nice to see how to handle things when things don't always go right. Good thing Andrew brought that extra tent he didn't need, or probably even want. Thanks for sharing, as always.
My brothers and I hiked, and camped along the backpacker trail last november, and this video was a great reminder of that time. I'm glad I came across your page here. Your videos are really great.
Amazing video. Love the sit down with Robby at the start about the 'right' way to do it...
+thedevilsbench thanks for watching brother! Glad you enjoyed it. But definitely learn from our mistakes and don't do it the wrong way haha -Robby
It’s so beautiful there
What a professional job you guys do! Keep them coming!
I’ve really enjoyed your video clip. Thanks a lot for sharing such nice scenery.
Friends. I've been in forests from the Rockies, to the Great Lakes, and down to Florida... They all look the same, especially at night next to a campfire. ATB keep doing what your doing
Really good video. Good stuff guys
"Steinbrenner would be proud." True comic genius on your part Andrew!
+Michael Dudley Hahah thank you! There's a Seinfeld quote for everything. Thank you for watching!! -Andrew
Wow first youtuber that has an annotation to skip the intro. You are awesome.
Well done guys- awesome trip once again. Your videos are a continuing demonstration of the best of what youtube has to offer as an educational and entertainment medium- your cinematography, message, banter and love of the natural world is just great! Thanks for taking the time to make such professional videos. Atb, Tom.
+Back Garden Bushcraft Wow - Thank you so much for the kind words! It truly means a lot to us to hear you say that :) Thank you so much for watching! Cheers! -Andrew
“If we don’t make it - Someone edit the video!!” 😂
Loved it! However old these videos are, they are always as entertaining! 🙏
great work
Love your videos, have to watch all of them twice to make sure that I hit the LIKE button. You guys are Awesome!! Watched, Liked, and Shared for sure this time!
Love the positivity you guys keep throughout every variable you come across (at least on video). A positive attitude really goes a long way in helping yourself or a group.
Granted, it may have taken like 45 minutes after everyone was up and moving! Way to go guys!
Thanks a bunch, dude. Yeah, staying positive is definitely important. Usually little can faze me, but we can get short with each other when we're exhausted and hungry, haha. But then the next minute, you've eaten, you're seeing a beautiful view, and everybody's really happy.
I would love to camping with y'all! Y'all had so much fun and thanks for this amazing experience 💕
Great trip guys! The rain made it harder to hike, but the colors got so much brighter. Thanks for sharing!
So true! I love how the rain brings out the color in the forest. Thanks so much for watching, and glad you liked it! -Andrew
Great channel! I love observing nature, discover and meditate...
Love watching your show, guys! Keep it up!
This a a great video, I live about ten minutes from Wayne National Forest. As someone who's just starting to get into backpacking this is very nice to see.
Awesome! Yeah, it's a great place to backpack, definitely recommended. -Robby
@ 18:30 those pine trees are actually a really good place to camp, as long as the otters don't bother you around 2 am lol
+Mike Dennett Haha, that's awesome - had you actually camped in that area before? It looked nice from across the lake. Thanks for watching!
Best video yet! Wet and Wild! Very Juicy! And I love the trail names, perfect! Reality backpacking always involves RAIN and MUD. The best part was the catastrophic rain part. Funny and so true. Been there, so feel even more connected to you guys. I was imagining the prune feet as you sloshed through the endless water crossings. (there are no such things as waterproof boots.) Can't wait to see what you produce next! You have proven yourselves Vermud (Vermont) worthy. The Long Trail awaits you. Suggested future trip, maybe in the fall when it's not so rainy. THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME EPISODE!
+Carol Czina Haha, thank you so much! That's awesome, would love to hear some of your rainy stories. The rain is definitely a constant antagonizing force when you're backpacking, but it also makes things more exciting :) The Long Trail looks beautiful - we would love to go to Vermont! I imagine that area looks incredible with the fall colors. Thanks so much for watching, and thanks for the suggestion! Cheers :) -Andrew
And yet again another awesome adventure guys, really great work. The places you guys go to are so beautiful, thank you for taking us with you. Looking forward to the next adventure! atb
Thanks, man! So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching! :) Cheers! -Andrew
Another great relaxing video. Thank you for taking me along with your adventures. I am recovering from a surgery and your videos help curb my dying desire to get better and to be in the great outdoors.
Thanks so much for watching! Really glad our videos can help with that. Hope you get well soon, and can get back outdoors! Cheers :) -Andrew
Great channel and awesome episode!! I can appreciate the positive vibe through all your videos and especially this one! The continuing growth in cinematography is apparent and looking forward to sharing more adventures! Great insight into the backpacking world👍
So glad I became a patron. This may be the 5th time I've watched this.
+Seth Dombach We appreciate your support immensely Seth, glad to have you as a fan! :)
I love your videos! I'm from southeast Ohio so this was interesting for me to see other perspective of this area.
This is like 25 min from me. Cool!
Glad you guys were able to make it to Wayne National Forest. I need to get back there myself. It is a great place to hike and camp. i also got rained on there.
+Jeremy Buchanan Thanks! It was really cool, we had been thinking about going there for a long time and it was good to finally get out there. Really enjoyed it, even with the rain :) -Robby
yes i get super stoked every time you guys put up a new episode!
+Brandon m Awesome - this comment is music to my ears! Thank you so much for watching - and hopefully we'll be able to start putting an episode out each month soon! Cheers :) -Andrew
Thanks for making me feel good about my adventure opportunities in central Ohio!
Absolutely! I used to think there was nothing like this in Ohio, but it's great knowing there is. Thanks for watching :) -Andrew
You do the best work of any channel. So we'll done every time!
The music in this video reminds me of the game Runescape. Kinda makes me want to go play it again.
Ah, classic. I remember playing a really early build of that as a kid. Such a strange and interesting game. Thanks for watching :) Also, if you're interested, you can listen to the full songs here: adventurearchives.bandcamp.com/ Cheers! -Andrew
I'm amazed by how you know the names of every plant and I'm impressed by your group's gentle approach. Thank you
great video guys thanks for sharing your hike atb John
+Turtle Bushcraft Thanks so much, John! Thank you for sharing it with us :) Cheers! -Andrew
Excellent trip. We enjoyed the extra effort put into your camera angles. Thank you for sharing and we look forward to watching your next journey!
+Average Campers' Adventures Thank you so much! And super glad that the extra effort in the shots is appreciated :) We always appreciate it for ourselves when the camera angles are good, so we try to do it as well. Thanks again! -Robby
Great video guys! Already looking forward to your next adventure.
+silveradoman298 Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it - we're heading to Shenandoah in May to film our next :) Cheers! -Andrew
thanks guys
Agree with everything you said!
Thank you guys so much for sharing this trip it was very enjoyable. It is great to see true friends spending time with each other God bless.
I must say, you guys were the first to tip me off to the solo stove and I used it on my bikepacking trip through the Shawnee National Forest, and I love it. Minus the part where I couldn't keep wood dry though a couple hours of rain, but hey that is the fun of it.
Awesome trip guys. I love this, it my 'TV'
+Chasing Cornfields Great tip: if you plan on using a solo stove to cook, pack away a few twigs of dry wood that you find here and there to make getting your stove started easy. You don't need much so it doesn't take up weight.
+AdventureArchives I learned that. I used an old tent rainfly for my hammock and it leaks at the seams, soaking my wood stack. so now I think we are both on the look for a good rain fly.
+Chasing Cornfields I've enjoyed using the Egret Equinox tarp, personally: astore.amazon.com/advarch-20/detail/B008YW6APA Though I have noticed very minor dampness when there's a very heavy rain. But it'll still keep everything underneath dry. Cheers! -Andrew
Literally just subscribed because I'm thankful you're showing me cool places in ohio, I'll check out more videos. Thank you guys
Fantastic video! I can hardly believe the quality you got out of the dark. What an adventure.
+Mary V Lin Thank you so much! That's the amazing power of the Sony A7s ii. That camera is kind of unbelievable. -Robby
*bryan and robby getting continuously more concerned about Andrew's whereabouts.*
*cut to andrew talking to plants*
I love this channel lol.
It’s like Andrew is editing this video LOL and it makes this content interestingly hilarious
i guess it's kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online ?
