It is INEXCUSABLE that you guys don't have a show on PBS or Netflix or Discovery Channel or something!!! The product you're creating is SO much better than 95 percent of what's being aired. We should start a petition to make that happen!
the Alum Caves trail up to Le Conte was my grandfather's favorite hike. He'd hike it up, have a snack while looking at the view, and then right back down the same day. The last time he hiked it was on his 89th birthday. He so badly wanted to make it on his 90th, but sadly he was too ill at that point. If he were alive today he'd be over 100, and I'm sure he'd still be talking about wanting to get back on this trail; it was his absolute favorite place to be.
Agreed, and the occasional “scratch” makes me smile. Love the passion these young men have for hiking, the wildlife, and the rules of the trail is inspiring. I’m 66 now and have a sketchy knee, but hiking on the weekends has blessed my health and psyche. Thank you gentlemen and keep at it!
You guys really “get” it! I’m a 65 year old woman living in an apartment in San Diego. I find small hikes i can go on around here, but nothing will ever compare to times hiking in the Appalachian when I was young. So beautiful!
Guys thank you! ;___; I could literally cry right now because I am so happy. Life sucked and still does for the last couple of years and your videos really bring joy into my life each time. I watched most of your videos a couple of times already at least each one once ^^. Your videos are my most favorite ones on YT and at least my way to enjoy nature if I can't enjoy it directly right now as much as I would like to. Thank you for doing what you are doing. I guess I am not only talking for myself but what you do is special to so many of us. Keep up the amazing work. Cheers from Vienna~
These guys have the best cinematography and content in the hiking community. All of these episodes accentuate what being outside is truly about. As huge fan of Henry David Thoreau myself, it's really a treat to hear AA quote him. These videos serve to inspire people to get outside and you're doing a great job!
Thank you so much for the professionally crafted videos of unbelievable locations. As a disabled war vet and former hiker I appreciate being able to see the things I used to enjoy. Outstanding!!
Loved that first Smoky Mountain video I watched so much I had to see this one! Actually quit watching a TV show to watch this video glad I did. Definitely wasn't disappointed! We hiked alum cave trail to Mount LeConte during peak season one time and we got extremely lucky no one was on trail one of the best hikes we've ever did! Thank you for doing the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Justice with this video!
Rewatching this again. I love the scene on the porch front where Andrew and Thomas are waxing philosophic and Bryan exclaims, "I got that orange drank!" Pretty sure that should be your next T-shirt.
I thru-hiked the AT 20 years ago (southbound - not as crowded). Now, among my short, infrequent backpacking trips, I watch you guys. You’re right. Don’t compare yourself to other hikers. What you’re doing is hiking and making beautiful movies with choreographed music. Great stuff!
There is a comfortable nostalgia that these videos have. I used to camp with friends in high school and it felt the same as these trips. Making coffee, hiking, goofing around, going pantless, these videos take me back to those trips.
One of my favourite episodes. Your channel is so relaxing and so calm. Especially this episode. Its just brought me back almost 10 years ago. I went up there but different trail. One of my favourite place on earth. I will be back again. By the way 👋 Hello from Thailand 🇹🇭 💕
Wow!! I’ve done this hike probably a dozen times but I have never seen it on video the way you guys have captured it. BEAUTIFUL! The smokies temps change like that year round. Awesome trip. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hey guys great job with the video. I thru hiked the AT last year and really enjoyed the Smokies and all the views and plant life. Thanks so much for the plant identification. I did enjoy eating some ramps along the way. I'll be back in the Smokies again this year at Mount Le Conte Lodge!!!
As a local, the Alum Cave to Mt Leconte hike is probably my favorite day hike in the world. I also highly recommend the Hughes Gap to 19e hike at Roan Mountain if you guys get back down this way! That’s an overnighter.
Love the shout outs almost as much as I love the post hike meal. The best is that the 4 of you are hiking again and taking us along! Excited for the next hike!
My fiancée and I literally just hiked this trail 2 weeks ago. So cool seeing it show up in a far more cinematic form than what I was able to recreate with my camera, lol.
You guys find the beauty in everything no matter where you are. Last year I moved from Los Angeles to Northeastern Pennsylvania and have been super bummed missing the high elevation mountains out west. But watching your videos is so inspiring. It really lifts my spirits. The plant ID is so helpful. Thank you so much making these great videos. :)
The Smokies are amazing. I love the mountains out west they have the "wow" factor, but the smokies are amazing in their own right. You just have to hike through them to know what I mean.
I hiked Alum Cave to Leconte 2 weeks ago. It was a beautiful first trip to the summit. I'll be going back this Saturday for a 15 mile up and down day hike. I am so glad to have found this channel. It is rapidly becoming clear to me that I'm only happiest on the trails. Luckily I'm blessed to live in the foothills of the GSMNP so maybe some day I'll see you all out there. Stay safe friends!
Just found your vlogs. As a serious hiker/backpacker back in the 70s and 80s all over the Sierras (yeah, I'm old) I Absolutely love your locations, filming, narrating and music. Very professional and clever! One request, could Andrew and Robby bring back your ponytails please?? Thanks guys for the entertainment :-)
@@NosyHausfrau I still hike, but nothing like my younger backpacking years. Being out in nature is addictive and is my Zen. It is such a pleasure finding Adventure Archives. These guys are so inspirational. Especially love Andrew's pauses on botany education. These guys are brilliant in every way. Keep walking Kerry!
Glad to see another one of your videos. Its been hard for many of us not getting out as often due to the pandemic. So watching yours helps a lot. Great video, filming, music and editing as always. Keep safe!
You guys are the best, great Smoky Mountains show. The four of you rock with the short skits you do at the end, excellent comedy. This one was no exception!
I found a girl there in the mid point of the last century. She was wonderful. Western NC. What she was ever glorious.. What a creature what a girl, she could do anything she set her mind to. It was like the Lord had decide to hide the world's best female in those mountains. 60 years married was more than worth it.
The sunrise sequence was breathtaking, the music really added so much magic to those incredible views. In these times of not easily being able to go on our own adventures thank you so much for taking us along on yours.
Just thru hiked the AT in 2020 and you guys gave us the ULTIMATE nostalgia. Thank you for capturing some of the most beautiful mountains in the entire world. Our souls will live and die in Southern Appalachia.
Did LaConte Lodge in '04 and '08. Great memories. Hiked Trillium with my 71-year-old mom and my husband when I was 18 weeks pregnant. Best memories. Thanks, y'all
Thomas and I are quite the same in terms of pacing when doing outdoor activities. When I am in the zone during cycling I just can't stop pedaling and sometimes I leave my group behind and I always try to explain to them that I am not show boating I just feel so good that stride longer and faster.
A new day! You add the magic to the already magical great Smokey mountains. So entertaining. Thank you for the laughs the great Smokey mountains never disappoint
Seeing you the 4 of you together bring warm feelings to my heart. It reminds me and makes me miss my friends and the way we camped and traveled like this!
Man I know you guys hear it all the time but your videography is impeccable. You guys always have a great message a long with it too. Thanks for the content
I stumbled upon this channel and couldnt be more grateful. something about the way you guys do your videos that keeps me coming back. thanks for putting the effort out!
Scientists say that millions or more years ago the Smoky Mountains used to be higher then the Rocky Mountains are now. Time and erosion have weathered them down. Your videos and also your attitudes about life in general are delightful, and I'm thrilled that you share them along with the wonderful scenery of your hikes. Wishing you thousands more miles of enjoyable hikes and I'm looking forward to seeing each mile of them.
Been hiking the Smokies for 40 years. Thanks for this video. Cool to see places I haven't seen in awhile. Was at icewater springs two years ago, but kept trucking past Lecont.
You guys are great I really enjoy how yall come together and enjoy nature... Glad to see the videos you all produce. Glad yall are back in action keep up the great work...
It can be so tough to get up and out of your warm sleeping bag but 10 times out of 10 it's worth it for that sunrise 😍 and why is no one talking about that amazing outro bit LOL love it
Ok so I’m only at eight minutes of this video and loving it! Beautiful place, history of the trail, annnnnd education about the local flora!!! And you guys are nice! Great content! Keep it up!!!
I did this hike to Mt. Le Conte in 2019 but I started on the other side by rainbow falls. I have to say Cliff Tops was my favorite part. Your sunset and sunrise videos were also my favorite part! Those are my all time favorite moments to experience on a camp trip. I also did the Alum Cave bluff hike that was pretty spectacular as well. Thanks for sharing your funny and inspirational moments. I especially love your shout outs at the end! They get more and more hilarious!
I just want to say your channel has been so great for us. My wife and I watch all your adventures and love the quality and intelligent content you continue to provide. The best. Thanks guys.
Awesome video! I like how y’all broke the trails into doable sections where you aren’t exhausted when you get to the point you are staying the night and have some energy left.
I am in a group that hikes up to the Mt. LeConte Lodge every August. You made the right choice hiking Boulevard in and Alum Cave down. I guess I'm one of the "old people" you referenced hiking up Alum Cave. The Lodge is a unique place and the beauty of Mt LeConte is a site to behold! Thanks for sharing!
So I caught this live, after not seeing one of your videos in probably over a year. And now upon rewatching, I realize that I joined right at the beginning of the shoutout section at the end - and that is why I was confused. Excellent.
Sooo this is my first ever TH-cam comment on any video, and I figured that if I’m going to finally get off my butt and start letting the content creators I regularly watch know that I value their content, I’d start with you guys. What started as “find something relaxing and boring to fall asleep to” turned into “this is much too captivating, now I must watch the entire thing” very early on. And here we are years later, still constantly checking to see when the newest video will be released. You guys are so relatable and great at what you do. You’ve inspired me to start creating my own content because I don’t see enough people that look like me creating the kind of content I like to watch. Just wanted to say thanks for doing what you’re doing in the way you’re doing it. You guys are awesome.
I don’t know why, but every time I watched your video, I feel so hopeful and happy. Loved the music, so much, it’s so relaxing! Looking forward to many more episodes.
Thomas makes Andrew the best cup of coffee you can have on the trail, fresh ground beans and run through an Aero Press, and Andrew is like, "It's good." Like, it is just a little better than instant. I have seen Andrew drink fungus tea and say "It's good" with as much enthusiasm. I no longer trust Andrew's taste buds, lol. I enjoy the ritual of making a fine cup of coffee too Thomas. Next time maybe try BRCC Just Black coffee. If Andrew does not groan with pleasure with that cup, he has been replaced by an alien and you must find and rescue the real Andrew.
I stopped using the Areo press because it is so hard to press!!! And you have to use good beans to begin with! Also, I see Thomas is a good friend of Andrew but I have Never seen Him as one of the Boy's!!!
The beans looked shit, if you have fancy tools and shitty beans then you'll have shitty coffee, it's all about the beans, hence why Andrew probably didn't enjoy it as much. Get some bomb beans first if you're going to go through that much trouble.
Great trail and wonderful camaraderie. Love your videos. For those of us, outside the country, its hiking with you vicariously. Keep on hiking and posting.
Bravo! Really great episode, one of the best yet. Extra kudos for the closing bit - Curb your enthusiasm - really entertaining and a fun way to end the episode. Great stuff!
It is INEXCUSABLE that you guys don't have a show on PBS or Netflix or Discovery Channel or something!!! The product you're creating is SO much better than 95 percent of what's being aired. We should start a petition to make that happen!
absolutely!!! 🌻🌼🌷🪴🌱🌳

I love when these guys post 😫 it’s like seeing an old friend!
I agree!!
yep definitely
@@marisolcorona9728 definitely
I’ve been watching their videos for years!
Hmm . . . and children of my older friends. 😉
i started watching in the early part of last year. their videos made the pandemic much more tolerable. the China series especially was amazing
Andrew drinking Thomas's coffee made with fancy new gear: "It's good."
Andrew drinking boiled nettles and leaves: "It's good."
Nettle is good.
The only thing that sucks about this video? Having to wait for the next one. Stellar content, amazing presentation.
right? whens the next one gonna be 😫
The music, banter, humor, narration, info, videography, Scenery. Stellar presentation indeed!
AA has the most beautiful music to accompany their videos.
Agreed, and the occasional “scratch” makes me smile. Love the passion these young men have for hiking, the wildlife, and the rules of the trail is inspiring. I’m 66 now and have a sketchy knee, but hiking on the weekends has blessed my health and psyche. Thank you gentlemen and keep at it!
"You're gonna like this whether you like it or not!" hahahaha
😂🤣
Mount LeConte was the highlight of my honeymoon. Breathtaking is absolutely the right word to use
You guys really “get” it! I’m a 65 year old woman living in an apartment in San Diego. I find small hikes i can go on around here, but nothing will ever compare to times hiking in the Appalachian when I was young. So beautiful!

LOL I came to the comments just to see if anyone commented about this. "I got that orange drink" should definitely be on a shirt.
Wow, wet/humid/soggy, I live in Arizona so used to hiking dry forests and deserts, but a beautiful place for sure!!!
The whole gang!! 🥸🧐😮💨🤗
Much appreciate your hikes. I used to hike years ago but now I at 85 I watch yòur hikes. Thanks.

Beautiful sunrise

Happy trails ♥️🥾
Thanks so much for sharing all the beautiful scenery guys it was awesome and breath taking.
That national park is my happy place. Thank you for creating this video. It made me happy to see the park again. Love your channel.
The views of the sunrise over the mountains was stunningly beautiful. Views like that on the trail take my breath away.
Thanks! Yeah we got really lucky that we caught the sunset and sunrise. It looked like a painting
Rachel and I hiked to Charles Bunion, it is an amazing hike and even better view! So cool you all were able to go! Love watching this episode :-)
Nice! Glad you liked it, it was def an amazing view :)
Beautiful narration, beautiful video and educational. Thank you guys.
So nice to see you again, like good friends visiting to tell of their latest adventures.
Wow!! I’ve done this hike probably a dozen times but I have never seen it on video the way you guys have captured it. BEAUTIFUL! The smokies temps change like that year round. Awesome trip. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
oof that music at the 23:10 mark is just chefkiss 👌🏻
I'm not even at halfway through this amazing episode, but had to note that.
love you guys!
we came for the hiking, but stayed for the shoutouts 🤣
Those sunset and sunrise shots are amazing. 58:51? Is out of the world.
I literally held my breath during those sunrise shots around 1:03. Beautiful.
Hey guys great job with the video. I thru hiked the AT last year and really enjoyed the Smokies and all the views and plant life. Thanks so much for the plant identification. I did enjoy eating some ramps along the way. I'll be back in the Smokies again this year at Mount Le Conte Lodge!!!
Robby has a new backpack! It’s also good to see the group sitting on foam pads instead of sitting in mud or wet logs
As a local, the Alum Cave to Mt Leconte hike is probably my favorite day hike in the world. I also highly recommend the Hughes Gap to 19e hike at Roan Mountain if you guys get back down this way! That’s an overnighter.
Love the shout outs almost as much as I love the post hike meal. The best is that the 4 of you are hiking again and taking us along! Excited for the next hike!

Inland Empire, California here. Upland, California! I miss Mt Baldy and Cucamonga Peak So much! The Appalachian Trail is definitely gorgeous!
That sunset and sunrise was just spectacular. Thanks for sharing both with us. I always look forward to seeing your post.
As usual, your cinematography was superb. It captured the spirit of the mountain.
It is so uplifting to see you all together again and Living Large! Hike On!!
Thanks for encouraging people to hike their own hike.

Wow. That's so great. I'm curious; Do you still hike Essie? I've always been big on walking but I am just venturing into official hiking.

Love the smokies! Thanks for posting. Cheers from VA!
nice to see you guys again. So envious. I cant wait to go back on the trail.
The music in this episode is my favorite
I enjoy watching your videos so much! You guys are always so much fun to watch on your great treks!
Glad to see another one of your videos. Its been hard for many of us not getting out as often due to the pandemic. So watching yours helps a lot. Great video, filming, music and editing as always. Keep safe!
So surreal to finally see you guys do a hike I've done before!
Another great video! I really appreciate the reflecting and deep thoughts the guys share whenever they are out on an adventure!
You guys are the best, great Smoky Mountains show. The four of you rock with the short skits you do at the end, excellent comedy. This one was no exception!

There is something about you guys that makes these videos so soulful and enjoyable. Whatever that that thing is, just keep it up. Awesome job!
That may have been one of the top 5 sunrises ever caught on film.
Such an awesome hike. My first trip to the top was at 5 years old.
I'm 58. Time to get back on that trail.❤️🏞️
I think what’s so cool is when this group runs into the fans of their YT channel. I, too, would want a selfie with them.
Just thru hiked the AT in 2020 and you guys gave us the ULTIMATE nostalgia. Thank you for capturing some of the most beautiful mountains in the entire world. Our souls will live and die in Southern Appalachia.
Awesome views of Smokies! Thanks so much for sharing! Everyone have a great week.😊

Love you channel the friendship is so special and the narrative is so relaxing
You guys are great I really enjoy how yall come together and enjoy nature... Glad to see the videos you all produce. Glad yall are back in action keep up the great work...
Great Job, men!
The conditions were much better than the previous Smokies trip.
Definitely!
It can be so tough to get up and out of your warm sleeping bag but 10 times out of 10 it's worth it for that sunrise 😍 and why is no one talking about that amazing outro bit LOL love it
🌎 is a beautiful place. AA showcased this with the breathtaking Smoky Mt. sunrise 🌄 & their incredible music 🎼 to enhance the moment 👍🏻
Superb filming and a fantastic hike. You guys have such great chemistry comparable to Richard Hammond, Clarkson and May.
Can't wait for the next one.
Ok so I’m only at eight minutes of this video and loving it! Beautiful place, history of the trail, annnnnd education about the local flora!!! And you guys are nice! Great content! Keep it up!!!
That curb skit was on par with the actual show. Laughed all the way through.
I did this hike to Mt. Le Conte in 2019 but I started on the other side by rainbow falls. I have to say Cliff Tops was my favorite part. Your sunset and sunrise videos were also my favorite part!

The AT hiker groups are usually referred to as "bubbles". Sometimes hikers in a group call it a "tramily".
Thanks for making me want to go back to the Smokies!
So pretty. So much work. Thank you for your videos !
I just want to say your channel has been so great for us. My wife and I watch all your adventures and love the quality and intelligent content you continue to provide. The best. Thanks guys.
One of my favorite Smoky mountain hikes I’ve ever done! Loved reliving it with you!
Damn.. those views and sunsets, this was a special one!
I was at Smoky Mountain National Forest 2 weeks ago. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The cage you came across is for wild boar.
Awesome video! I like how y’all broke the trails into doable sections where you aren’t exhausted when you get to the point you are staying the night and have some energy left.

Awesome video! You guys are so inspiring and entertaining at the same time! Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure!
These videos are always 100% on point, makes me want to pull out my laptop and start planning a last-minute trip every time.
Thomas makes Andrew the best cup of coffee you can have on the trail, fresh ground beans and run through an Aero Press, and Andrew is like, "It's good." Like, it is just a little better than instant.

LOL your comment perfectly described the look on Thomas’ face when Andrew said “It’s good….It’s goood”
I stopped using the Areo press because it is so hard to press!!! And you have to use good beans to begin with!
Also, I see Thomas is a good friend of Andrew but I have Never seen
Him as one of the Boy's!!!
The beans looked shit, if you have fancy tools and shitty beans then you'll have shitty coffee, it's all about the beans, hence why Andrew probably didn't enjoy it as much. Get some bomb beans first if you're going to go through that much trouble.
Great trail and wonderful camaraderie. Love your videos. For those of us, outside the country, its hiking with you vicariously. Keep on hiking and posting.
