Just wanted to say hello, my name is Jim, I am 50 yrs old a Michigan resident and your Lake Superior video is what brought me to your channel. My wife and I van camp a lot mainly state forest campgrounds and do like to day hike but always return to the van to sleep ? Your videos are incredible great humor when it gets tough, love the information on identifying plants trees etc. I am taking my turn with Covid as I text and have been binge watching your videos for 4 days now lol. You know what this hasn’t been to bad 😂 keep up the good work guys !!!
So I actually came across this while sat playing Minecraft yesterday when TH-cam was doing its famous auto-play, I've not stopped watching these since. Amazing videos, they make me feel like I am still seeing the world despite being housebound so thank you guys :)
I have watched all you full videos at least twice. And sadly on Friday I hurt my back at work🙄 so I binged watched all you full length episodes from start to finish over the course of 2 days. Great work as always guys keep up what you doing.👍
So excited to see you guys visiting Ludington!!! My wife and I did a day hike there this past fall with friends. Beautiful area. Andrew we had a gluttony of acorns on the ground this year. Loved the video. Keep up the good work!!
I cooked crickets for my Fish and Wildlife class for a presentation on eating bugs. They were surprisingly tasty. I thought they tasted like roasted pumpkin seeds. Everyone but one person tried them :) I tried cooking up grasshoppers more recently. I need to work on my technique. Don't worry, I won't send you any though :D Great video, as always.
I suspect we ALL have eaten some insects at one time or another----knowingly or unknowingly. Many processed foods will have its share of bug parts, you cannot totally eliminate bugs in the ointment. I remember reading years ago an acceptable limit on products for alien no-see-ums in various food stuff. For example, a candy bar was allowed say no more than one small broken roach wing, or no more than one wasp leg. Not sure of the limit on rodent hairs, and er ---"bees' knees," and cricket thighs and fly eggs etc. in flour but these things ARE there. We eat them! Can't help it! Over a life time all of us I'm sure have had a heaping fill of bugs. I've had ---on purpose----chocolate covered ants in fudge. They were advertised that way. I must have been cheated on my allotment of ants because I could not taste any; any flavor I guess was buried in the taste of chocolate. Maybe there was a shortage of gourmet ants or something. It seems a chocolate factory wouldn't have to import any ants---they like an entire army of ants would simply come marching right into the factory. Perhaps it was easier to incorporate the ants in the recipe and sell it that way rather than getting rid of them!
Without the food reward at the end of each series I wouldn’t be able to process this insanity. I love being in nature but extremes are not my thing. The comfort food at the end is my thing 😍
I've said this countless times, and I'll say it again - the production quality and all around charisma of these videos is amazing and uplifting. I didn't think you could improve from previous videos, but this is definitely one of your best yet. Well done and keep up the great work :)
I caught the AA bug when I first began to enjoy the idea and activity of backpacking. I kept watching. Two years later, during this episode, I began to wonder why I am so emotionally invested in your program. I arrived at this conclusion: AA is a brilliant display of sincere, modern men being men. The good humored camaraderie, the love, the respect for nature and each other, the closeness. Those qualities are all but absent from pop-culture. But, here it is - of all places on TH-cam. Don't take what you have here for granted; there is huge demographic and thirst for this genre, which may entirely belong to you. I say now's the time for a bigger push. Amazon/Netflix need to know your names.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We didn't even really know what we were going for exactly when we first started out, but we knew we wanted to present ourselves as genuinely as possible, and that we didn't want any fake drama or anything like that. Thanks again for the comment, and thank you for watching!
I whole heartedly concur. I do not binge on series or programs as the media culture begs this absence of truest anthropological wealth and humanistic wellness which is the reason why I seem to not be able to put this channel away. Bravo to you four for this quintessential offering of what wellness in self, inner serenity and an affinity with nature to which is we all are richer in sharing! Bliss T. Social Wellness Innovator Live dreams as much as our screens: LiveDreamsNotScreens.org
Thomas why so serious? Awesome episode guys. I have to ask after seeing so many episodes more than once, I love that you guys share the food & talk about it but do you all get a full meal? You can't really be sharing a cup of noodles for 3 or 4 people right, I know you had 4 on this trip but I swear I've seen you guys eating off of one lonely cup-o-noodles? If you guys ever want to head out to Washington hit me up I live in an outdoor paradise with access to all kinds of trails. The Pacific North West trail goes through here & the cascades are about 15 minutes away, a hidden gem that rivals the best the USA has to offer. Also you guys gotta get a digital thermometer so we can get a better idea of how cold it is if you can.
so happy that you guys are constantly giving us fresh content !!!! absolutely love it !! love the music (: i can’t tell you guys how grateful i am for your videos
The compassion for one another at the new year count down was beautiful. Hearing your new year's resolutions, watching in awe, I felt goosebumps race across my body. You all are living life one day at a time and I think we can all learn something from that. Much love.
Forgot to add this to my previous post, that is the best way to bring in the New Year, out in nature. My husband and I will do this next year. Thanks for your awesome videos. As always happy hiking!!!!
Ah Nordhouse. Winter camped there last Feb, a shakedown hike for my 2018 CDT thru hike last year. Gotta say, Nordhouse is a LOT more fun in the summer!
My two favorite scenes: 1) Your John, Paul, George & Ringo lakeside version of the Abbey Road walk! 2) All 4 of you humming/muttering/singing Auld Lang Syne ! Yet another fantastic journey...thank you AA!!
So glad you guys finally went to Nordhouse! Its a place I would highly recommend visiting in the spring if you get the chance. Good weather and no crowds. Summer can be chaos.
Another fantastic video by AA. I am sad to say I just now had a chance to see it. I have spent the majority of the past year living and working in Europe and with TH-cam being the only "television entertainment" I re-watched all the older episodes and caught up on all your Campfire Chronicles. As has been stated many times, the Production Quality is fantastic and continues to get better. Seeing such a good group of friends just sharing their random thoughts along the way makes the productions feel personal and I am confident that many in this audience have felt they have gotten to know you from that perspective. I was especially drawn to this episode as it I am very familiar with the area, having been born and raised in Michigan. I love to see the quality in your cinematography on these places I go quite often. It started within a minute. Was that Nader's motel in Ludington? I had been there a dozen times when I was a kid. After retirement, my mother lived in the house on the same block and just to the right of the water tower (I think it was just off-screen). From the Nurnberg Trailhead parking lot to the lakeshore to the additional unmarked dune and forest trails and the serenity of Nordhouse Lake - that area is incredible. In the early fall, camping closer to the beach with a campfire and the feel of the Lake Michigan breeze is just amazing. Your videos have inspired me to broaden my backpacking range with the limited time I have available. I have been to Isle Royale seven times, but now Red River Gorge/Daniel Boone National Forest is another favorite, and I plan to hit some some new spots this year. I do hope you still have Isle Royale on the list. Grabbing a "Greenstone Burger" and a craft beer at the Rock Harbor Lodge at the end of the hike is the way to go.
How are you guys not have a million subscribers yet? You guys deserve better. Don't know how youtube works but maybe do some promotions on your videos?
Its very inspiring to see you 4 guys talking about your new years resolutions. you make such nice and interesting content and still struggle to be yourself and how you want to be yourself. keep going and keep hiking :) (and you inspiring me to hike more :D) greetings from germany.
Subscribed!! These are great. You guys have real potential to blow up. Only thing I'd say is maybe not try to be negative! And I noticed you all got more positive towards the end of the journey! Anyways love it!!! Can't wait for more
Yah, at this point you guys are a threat to my productivity.... I'm trying to find ways to stretch my lunch "hour" (really, roughly 20 minutes until I have to get back to work focus) so I can watch more. Legit let me know what I can do to help promote your channel, I'm super hooked.
Hey BostonBikeG, we're really glad to hear that we are able to give you something to enjoy during your lunch break :) If you'd like to support us the best way is at patreon.com/adventure :)
Great video!!! Watching you is cathartic for me and encouraging as well. The quality is absolutely amazing. I've watched pretty much everything several times and will probably continue to do so. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with us.
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video! We really appreciate you watching our videos, and thanks so much for sharing in the adventure with us :)
You guys have pretty much created an entire genre of documentary, or at the very least, refined an already existing format well beyond what anyone else is doing right now and I can think of no other filmmakers, let alone TH-camrs, that do what you guys do and do so well. I would not be surprised if at some point in the future Adventure Archives becomes one of the channels that others are measured against, at least as far as production quality, audience accessibility, and efficient use of existing resources is concerned. Currently I have over 150 YT subscriptions and this channel is one of maybe only five or so that actually gives me a genuine feeling of happiness upon seeing a fresh upload... and I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that.! Again, great work and I look forward to what AA have to offer in 2019. (Are any of you ever tempted to drop a handful of snow down someone's shirt? Dumb question, I know...) Edit: Twypos.
You guys are doing amazing work. Every summer it’s a tradition for my long time friends and I to backpack a week in the wilderness. Your videos keep my inspiration going as I wait for summer. Love the videos and the podcast.
As usual, another great video. My wife and I will be planning a New Year's Eve hiking and camping trip here in SE Ohio. Thanks for the inspiration. We love watching your trips.
I spend a lot of time in the dunes so it was a treat to see you in this local! I just photographed it in sub-zero temps. The ice shelves were amazing! Good thing the weather was (relatively) milder for you guys! The dunes succession trail may be of interest to you as you go through 7 different habitats in under a mile. Thanks for sharing another amazing video, look forward to each one!
I am binge watching your videos during COVID. So much better than watching Netflix. I get to see beautiful places in the US, and it makes me want to travel. I live in Canada, on the West Coast. I especially want to see Lake Superior, after watching both your videos of hiking there.
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS VIEWS SCENERY VIDEO ! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
I miss you guys so much. It felt like something was missing out of my daily routine. I was so excited to see an upload! Screw the Superbowl! Here comes real adventure and entertainment!
I'm sure I never hiked in a CA snow bound area in the late 50s and early 60s but I recall the camaraderie of accomplishment being with friends wherever that took place. It WAS terrific then and it's a different kind of terrific seeing this video as a geriatric and knowing that nothing ever took my own experience from me. That's my own good luck and I wish each of you your own in decades to come! GRAZIE an' 'at : )
🍃🌹🍃, You guys are great! I just discovered you. Michigan is my stomping ground, born & raised here! I have never hiked or camped where you guys go, RAINING OR WINTER, Brave Y'all are! Your videos are very informative, entertaining and just plain great and fun. THANK Y'ALL & GOD BLESS & GOD SPEED🙏🌱 Mucha suerte y cuídense mucho, Dios los bendiga!!!🌱💪✌️🙋♀️👍💯
lol i made my mom watch this video while we ate breakfast.. she says 1. youre all crazy. and 2. Robbie doesnt blink. like i said commenting and liking all the videos so they go onto other peoples pages. my comments: Another video well done. and i didnt fully realize that ALL the music was produced by you. I thought a few songs here and there. thats so amazing that you guys are like a one stop shop for video, editing, music, info...like a nerd swiss army knife. its amazing. and i made a list of all the LONG hikes starting from 10 years ago, to your new ones, and you can see how much growth and change is going on.
Thank you so much! On our shorter videos we sometimes use royalty-free music, but for our "Full Episodes," we only use our own music :) Thanks again for watching, and tell your mom thanks for watching as well :)
I spent some time at the Indiana Dunes parks about 10 years ago. Beautiful area. If I remember right, nat-geo wrote about the area. Most plant species in USA, or something like that.
Growing up in Michigan I’m thinking “what, no fire? No overhead tarp?, no real breakfast cooked over that fire?”… You guys are great. There’s nothing like Lake Michigan, the beautiful forests & 4 fun guys, one of whom is a Fungi expert (yum) 😎 Thanks for sharing with us.
I finally made it to Nordhouse Dunes to camp with some friends and I cannot believe this is what Michigan is like 🤩 Thank you all again for introducing me to a beautiful place in my own country
I love Andrew‘s commitment to explanation and I really feel he communicates his joy for all the plants. I think it’s really very exciting to learn all that
Thank you for putting so much effort into videos like this one. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and creativity. You are truly inspiring and watching your videos feels like a mindfulness experience.
I'm impressed with how rad this hike is, even with a PNW perspective. Neat glacial terrain everywhere. The hills are moraines and the depressions are kettles. The mounds are kames.
Ah yeah, I remember learning about those in a natural history class. It is really cool seeing how the glaciers have shaped the landscape in this area. And it's cool to know they impress even someone who hikes in the PNW! Thanks so much for watching :)
Hope this mssg gets to y’all. My 6th watch of y’all channel..! Love seeing y’all eat camp food and food afterwards and the small skits after ❤️ now I want a good pizza! Cheers
Awesome video, great resolutions, and some perfect shots! When Robby went down to the lake one last time the last shot was just stunning. As annoying of weather Michigan can have, it is a wonderful state! Really liked all the fungi IDs. that earth star was pretty cool!!
AN EPISODE WITH ALL 4 OF YOU IS QUITE A PLEASURABLE JOURNEY. ANDREW IS ALWAS INTRIGUE WITH EVERYTHING IN NATURE THAT HE SEE:) WONDERFUL SPIRIT AND ENERGY FROM EACH F YOU...ESPT TINDER :)!
I can’t decide which I enjoy most-your beautiful nature shots, seeing what you’re seeing on your hikes, or your honest and open conversations with each other. Actually, it’s the combination of all three that make your videos so interesting and satisfying for me. Kudos to Robby for his comment on people trying to improve themselves at 1:02:45. So refreshing to hear such a sincere viewpoint in today’s snarky, cynical world.
I was more excited to watch this adventure than the Superbowl. Thanks for the great content!
I wish I have group of friends like this..

Entertaining as always. I think the primary driver of human civilization and advancement was the use of fire.
Dude your videos are freaking amazing!!!!! You fill me with so much inspiration and motivation I just want to go out and explore.
Definitely one of your best videos yet!
I cooked crickets for my Fish and Wildlife class for a presentation on eating bugs. They were surprisingly tasty. I thought they tasted like roasted pumpkin seeds.

But now it feels like I went on a hike for the weekend, so it's all good. Thanks for the vicarious trip!
Why hasn't Outdoor Channel, Travel Channel, or National Geographic picked these guys up yet.
This is not fake and insincere enough for mainstream channels
Thomas why so serious? Awesome episode guys. I have to ask after seeing so many episodes more than once, I love that you guys share the food & talk about it but do you all get a full meal?

Who are the nerf balls who dislike this? I Can't get enough of you guys and I say carry on.
Ellie Holmes I have ten different accounts I dislike all their videos in just to keep them humble.
Hahahaha
This was fun to watch. Great video. Thanks
Andrew please make your own bontany channel. I'm learning so much from you🙏
Love from Philippines 💕
so happy that you guys are constantly giving us fresh content !!!! absolutely love it !! love the music (: i can’t tell you guys how grateful i am for your videos
The compassion for one another at the new year count down was beautiful. Hearing your new year's resolutions, watching in awe, I felt goosebumps race across my body. You all are living life one day at a time and I think we can all learn something from that. Much love.
23 dislikes, 23 peoples who hate their lives.
Andrew's knowledge of plants is genuinely so helpful. Everytime he starts sharing info I tune in!!
I love you guys. What is so special about this series is your friendship with each other. Having good friends is a rare thing.
This was another great Adventure Archives Episode! I'm planning on going there around mid May. Great job again with the video quality and editing! 👍👍
Best part of cold weather camping is snow keeps you dryer. Waking up you dust off your tent, instead of packing a heavy wet one. Stay warm my friends.
Love your content. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you guys for the past hour.
I was just hiking here. It was cool because all of the meadows you saw were small ponds when I was there.
I spend about 3 weeks every summer in Nordhouse. Grabbing some popcorn. hopefully it didn't kick your ass like the Manistee did lol
"From the top of Mount Whitney to the bottom of the Manistee River" lmao! Happy New Year, gents. Thanks for another great video.
Forgot to add this to my previous post, that is the best way to bring in the New Year, out in nature. My husband and I will do this next year. Thanks for your awesome videos. As always happy hiking!!!!
You guys do amazing videos!.....they just keep getting better and better! (I love the post hike meal endings).
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy them, and thanks for watching :) The post hike meal is definitely classic
Great episode, very uplifting. Beautiful place! Happy new year and hope 2019 is fantastic!
Ah Nordhouse. Winter camped there last Feb, a shakedown hike for my 2018 CDT thru hike last year. Gotta say, Nordhouse is a LOT more fun in the summer!
Love how you show people you don't need a thousand dollar plus four season tent to go winter camping awesome video.
Definitely! Just some good insulation and a lot of determination, haha. Thank you for watching!
I love these videos so much guys, thank you so much for putting so much work into what you love and sharing it with the rest of us!
Absolutely love your videos. Your knowledge, videography and editing are second to none but somehow we just gotta get you guys up off the ground.
I love the little food sharing frenzy. I wish I had friends who were willing to go on crazy adventures like that.
My two favorite scenes:
1) Your John, Paul, George & Ringo lakeside version of the Abbey Road walk!
2) All 4 of you humming/muttering/singing Auld Lang Syne !
Yet another fantastic journey...thank you AA!!
What superbowl? I know what I'm watching!
So glad you guys finally went to Nordhouse! Its a place I would highly recommend visiting in the spring if you get the chance. Good weather and no crowds. Summer can be chaos.
I love learning from Andrew...great video even if im 4 yrs late..love my Michigan
There's something surreal about watching this video in the middle of a heat wave in summer.
Another fantastic video by AA. I am sad to say I just now had a chance to see it.

You guys are great! Most billionaires would be envious of the joy and friendships you have.
How are you guys not have a million subscribers yet? You guys deserve better. Don't know how youtube works but maybe do some promotions on your videos?
Can't believe you guys know Midland, MI! Go to Mancinos there all the time haha. Awesome video!
Mancino's is so nostalgic to us, and so good! Thanks so much for watching!
Another awesome adventure guys, Brutal/Beautiful, BRUTIFUL.
Its very inspiring to see you 4 guys talking about your new years resolutions. you make such nice and interesting content and still struggle to be yourself and how you want to be yourself. keep going and keep hiking :) (and you inspiring me to hike more :D) greetings from germany.
Subscribed!! These are great. You guys have real potential to blow up. Only thing I'd say is maybe not try to be negative! And I noticed you all got more positive towards the end of the journey! Anyways love it!!! Can't wait for more

Your positive attitudes during the trip must of added 10 degrees (F not C) to the warmth of the trip. A really beautiful but tough trip.

my comments: Another video well done. and i didnt fully realize that ALL the music was produced by you. I thought a few songs here and there. thats so amazing that you guys are like a one stop shop for video, editing, music, info...like a nerd swiss army knife. its amazing. and i made a list of all the LONG hikes starting from 10 years ago, to your new ones, and you can see how much growth and change is going on.
Thank you so much! On our shorter videos we sometimes use royalty-free music, but for our "Full Episodes," we only use our own music :) Thanks again for watching, and tell your mom thanks for watching as well :)
That camping with the sound of rain❤ i couldn't have ask anything for more👍
Dope guys, great job. It's been awesome watching the channel grow.
very poetic n inspiring words. fantastico
Hey Andrew, at 16:01 I think you slipped your tongue. Instead of saying BIRCH polypore, you said BEECH polypore.
Hahah woops, you're right! Good catch. All these B trees sound the same :p
I spent some time at the Indiana Dunes parks about 10 years ago. Beautiful area. If I remember right, nat-geo wrote about the area. Most plant species in USA, or something like that.
Any Sasquatch activity ?
negative, completely barren
@@AdventureArchives Thanks, i think Sasquatch people hibernating right now
Ya´ll wanna be better persons this new year....started it off by drinking booze and being weird in the woods. Mission:accomplished.
I come back to this episode every new year to watch the part where yall ring in the new year and talk about resolutions.
Sharing is careing,ya'll 1aws best friends forever!!!!
Growing up in Michigan I’m thinking “what, no fire? No overhead tarp?, no real breakfast cooked over that fire?”… You guys are great. There’s nothing like Lake Michigan, the beautiful forests & 4 fun guys, one of whom is a Fungi expert (yum) 😎 Thanks for sharing with us.
I finally made it to Nordhouse Dunes to camp with some friends and I cannot believe this is what Michigan is like 🤩
Thank you all again for introducing me to a beautiful place in my own country
I have to say, your videos always leaves a huge impact with positivity and a humble mind to me :D
I love Andrew‘s commitment to explanation and I really feel he communicates his joy for all the plants. I think it’s really very exciting to learn all that
Awesome, fellows. Words fail me, but your videos are so compelling, once started I have to finish!
Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad you liked the video, and thanks for watching :)

Thank you for putting so much effort into videos like this one. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and creativity. You are truly inspiring and watching your videos feels like a mindfulness experience.
My head was bouncing up and down during the count down with smiles of miles 😀😀😀😃😃😃
I'm impressed with how rad this hike is, even with a PNW perspective. Neat glacial terrain everywhere. The hills are moraines and the depressions are kettles. The mounds are kames.
Ah yeah, I remember learning about those in a natural history class. It is really cool seeing how the glaciers have shaped the landscape in this area. And it's cool to know they impress even someone who hikes in the PNW! Thanks so much for watching :)
Hope this mssg gets to y’all. My 6th watch of y’all channel..! Love seeing y’all eat camp food and food afterwards and the small skits after ❤️ now I want a good pizza! Cheers
Awesome video, great resolutions, and some perfect shots! When Robby went down to the lake one last time the last shot was just stunning. As annoying of weather Michigan can have, it is a wonderful state! Really liked all the fungi IDs. that earth star was pretty cool!!
Best channel on TH-cam.
You guys are living the dream
AN EPISODE WITH ALL 4 OF YOU IS QUITE A PLEASURABLE JOURNEY. ANDREW IS ALWAS INTRIGUE WITH EVERYTHING IN NATURE THAT HE SEE:) WONDERFUL SPIRIT AND ENERGY FROM EACH F YOU...ESPT TINDER :)!
I really like your videos..., greetings from germany.
This was a really nice adventure. All except the cold, the snow, the winter. LOL But you four warmed it up for me. Thanks.
Thanks for posting guys! I started to get AA withdrawals ;)
Hope you guys enjoyed our beautiful state of MI! We have SO many beautiful little hole in the wall spots here!
One of your most uplifting productions. Thank you.
Loved that music when the credits starting rolling
I can’t decide which I enjoy most-your beautiful nature shots, seeing what you’re seeing on your hikes, or your honest and open conversations with each other. Actually, it’s the combination of all three that make your videos so interesting and satisfying for me. Kudos to Robby for his comment on people trying to improve themselves at 1:02:45. So refreshing to hear such a sincere viewpoint in today’s snarky, cynical world.
y'all needed 3-7 more bottles of champagne
I love your positivity, thank you
I love you guys!! friggin awesome!!
