    You guys don't get enough credit for your production quality. It is truly impressive and I haven't seen any channels under 100k subscribers with as much quality.

  • @JimBurch

    Such an underrated channel. You guys should have 500k+ with quality like this.

      I totally agree. All of their content is fantastic.

    • @33jayy
      @33jayy 4 роки тому

      The reason why they are underrated is the videos are lengthy so less people share this type of content.

    This is really what I love about you guys, you dont just hike, your voice over is very heartwarming, and it refocuses my humanity to things that matter to life. When Rob said, you need to warm inside to feel great outside, it hit me. Stay awesome guys!

    I watched this over three days and was inspired to pack my stove and travel with my dog into the wild and stay a few nights in the forests. Thank you, guys.

    Today I got to have my favorite type of morning: waking up to a fresh episode, and watching your amazing video while having peanut butter toast and coffee in my sofa. And next week I'm going on my first ever over-night hiking trip! Thank you for inspiring me to explore the outdoors and get closer to nature :)

    The videos are never at the top of their game without Andrew and his plant and wilderness knowledge. Glad Andrew was in this video. I do agree your videos are the best on UA-cam. Thank you all for sharing.

    Your videos continue to give me a sense of calm and escape from my normal days. Everytime I get the longing to go out into nature, but I'm unable to, I watch one of your videos. Believe it or not, at times I just listen to the audio while at work. The music and your conversations somehow help me focus too. Thanks for keeping your videos free. I hope to be able to help you guys continue to make fantastic content on Patreon soon.

    Such great videos. You guys do so much to restore sanity to these crazy times in 2020. Your narration offers serene food for thought and your videos have joined our dinners at the sofa and computer screen many nights. Any time the world becomes too crowded with unimportant details we turn to your trips. You filter down to the contented zone perfectly, thank you. You remind us of why we gave it all up in the city and moved to the mountains of W. Md. almost 20 years ago.

    Damn I think I might have been out there the same time you guys were... I climbed up Spruce Knob and did 24 miles on North Fork Mountain in like 8 inches of snow... I still have trench foot from those 3 days... Monongahela is such an underappreciated NP/NF, as well as the rest of WV...

    Great video as always - I can feel the wet cold from here!
    I used to live in the Appalachians in upstate North Carolina. I remember the deep snows and not being able to get down off the mountains until Spring sprang upon us.
    The Blue Ridge Parkway was a beautiful scenic drive any time of year but so dangerous in bad weather.

  • @AnyM4jorDude
    @AnyM4jorDude 6 років тому +9

    You guys had me at two and a half Asian type dudes out in the wilderness. It's about time you broke out the hot-pot gears. Makes sense doesn't it? There's no other travel, nature videos out there like this. Awesome long episode guys!

    I am recuperating from surgery so I am getting to watch a lot of videos I missed. I have lived all of my life in WV and been to this area so much but certainly not in the winter. I love seeing people enjoying my state and as always I love watching your videos. This would have been right before Covid changed our world.

  • @DoYerBest

    Interestingly enough, rhododendrons are incredibly invasive in other areas (i.e. Ireland) but they don't seem to be considered invasive in the Appalachians! Anyways love the hotpot! I can't imagine hiking in the stove but props to you guys

  • @erickyang7563

    I’ve always done only day hikes, until I curiously clicked on one of your guys’ videos which inspired me to go on my first backpacking trip. Now I have about 5 upcoming trips in the Sierra National Forest this summer alone. Would love to go someday with you guys if yall ever come to Cali again

      Very true, it took a while for us to really be 'comfortable' with winter camping because you need almost a completely different set of gear!

  • @RaymondMenapace
    @RaymondMenapace 6 років тому +2

    Judy Springs, where you camped on night 2, is definitely super busy during the summer months. There are spectacular sites farther down the Seneca Creek trail (as I'm sure you'll see on day 3). If you guys ever return I'd suggest parking on the Knob and doing a Huckleberry > Seneca Creek trail loop. Parking at the trail head for Seneca Creek and trekking straight in is good experience as well.

    Love the episode! I’m glad I was able to find you guys randomly (my parents had gone to Yosemite and I got curious and happened upon your Yosemite trip) and since then have been inspired. Usually I stay indoors and never go out due to anxiety, but I had recently gone to my first 8mile hike and met amazing people during it. It was tough but rejuvenating- and already planning my next one. Thanks for getting me out if my stump and being my inspiration! Keep it up! 👍

    When I was in graduate school at GWU in Washington DC, we hiked there but always daytime. I wish I had my backpacking equipment to have camped overnight in winter. This was beautiful. Now I live back in Los Angeles, but winter snow backpacking in our higher elevations are awesome as well. We sometimes build igloos to stay in which is awesome too. Just takes time to build. That's the bomb finding sites with rock chairs, tables etc. But I wish I had done the VW hike in winter. Hopefully one day. You had awesome camp spots. Thanks for sharing.
