@@RobbyHuang I like all AA videos. I put off watching the ambient sounds video because it was 'different', but I watched it recently, and I loved it. I felt like I was on the hike with you.
@@curiousnomadic xD. Touche. It's an inadequate turn of phrase ^^. I mainly said it as such, because I've thought about saying this on a different video and decided not to, simply because I didn't want to be disparaging towards other members of adventure archives, but I really enjoyed this one and wanted to share that thought.
@@TylerTried Hate to make you cringe but I think it was made popular by the Jersey Shore characters. I love Robby's stuff mostly because I watch his weekly vlog but like the other members of the adventure archives especially when they were in Japan. Remember that one? I am fascinated by Andrew's advanced knowledge of botany for example. If you want some interesting reading, read about Joseph Rock. Since Robby was reflecting on it I'd love to see these guys go to Tibet or hike the Great Wall. Some guys from my university MSU did that shortly after I graduated and it amazed me. Also my step grandfather had been to it in the 1950s on a steam ship voyage around the world.
@@curiousnomadic Not sure, I've never watched the show ^^. I haven't read it, I will def have to add it to my tbr. Thank you for the suggestion. Andrew is undoubtedly my second favorite of the cast and for the exact reason you stated. It's always fun to learn about plants that I would have previously not given any attention to.
When you look at others and wish you could do the things they are doing, just remember there's someone like me who wish I can be doing the things YOU are doing . Thank you for always sharing your adventures :)
Robby: when you were talking about being in awe of people who embark on big adventures, I was sitting here being in awe of you winter camping. I’m a hiker but I’m also a cranky middle aged woman who really dislikes the cold. Be well.
I respect channels with genuine people. If Robby is like he is in these videos, then he is humble and kind and thankful. Respect the Nintendo nerd too. You are not alone lol.
Loving 1) his enthusiasm for everything (sooo entertaining and makes me smile) 2) out of nowhere being hit with philosophical musings such as the futility of comparing self to others and the appreciative joy of celebrating others successes.
Really really liked this one . A little satori from Robby . You can’t do or be everything . Pure mindfulness . Learn to live in and love your own moments in time .
Wise words Robbie! I’m celebrating you being out there in 20’ degree weather for us. All jokes aside I totally feel you about celebrating human achievements vs our own. It’s a great mental attitude we all need to start adopting to live happier and healthier lives.
The word "magical" is the only word that gives a proper description of a snow hike. Glad the hamburger skillet and Good Day Sunshine Bowl helped re-fuel The Machine. :)
you know that thing when it's so cold outside that you having trouble moving your mouth to even form words? that's the feeling I get from this video. that's the vibe. short but great vid!
I’ve watch a many of your videos with you and the guys but I think this one is now one of my favorites. I love the out takes at the end and the story. It just showed a more personal side and also very very funny 😆 Thanks for sharing and not for a million dollars would I want to tent camp in the winter in the snow 😆
Great video Robby! I especially appreciated the parts with no music in background. Just raw sounds of nature, vind, russtle of snow, waves crashing on beach. You should have those parts more often with just natural sounds and quiet moments . And your narration ofcourse :)
Robby, you’re the exact personality and build of my son who no longer talks to me. I absolutely love watching your videos. I love Adventure Archives as a whole, but I think I became addicted after seeing one of your first solo hike videos. Brilliant personality. Great editing skills. Inspirational. Funny! Great stuff as always. Thank you.
Wow. That intro was breathtaking man. Your AA crew nordhouse ep was amazing but this just captivated the beauty and brutality of that winter environment. This is one of your best videos ever, and the score was perfect! Hats off to ya!
Your love for video game music carries over into the music you write for the videos and helps to make them enjoyable. As a freshman in high school i can remember going to the CD stores and buying old blues albums. I remember the woman at the counter saying to me how surprised she was that a person at my age was buying such old albums of old blues songs. The kids my age were typically in there buying up the newest [c]rap albums. It was just music that spoke to me inside and was the reason why I learned to play the guitar.
This is such an underrated channel. The level of quality In each video beats a lot of main channels. Always look forward to new posts. Stay safe out there boys! Still waiting for you guys to come to Idaho. Show y'all the Sawtooth Mountains and hot springs!
Loved this Robby! You captured those Nordhouse Dunes Winter landscapes beautifully! 👌 The ambient version is excellent too! Kawhi Leonard at 12:09 😆 Terra's Theme was definitely fitting! That Whitney story! 🤣👍
"Nostalgia is my favorite drug" my favorite quote of this whole episode. I couldn't agree more. People often ask why I'm an old soul.... you explained it well!
So I also wanted to let you know if you haven't seen Andre Bocelli's , The Journey, that just came out this weekend. I think you guys would love it. The beauty of the countryside of Italy. The Journey, and the quality of the music is just breathtaking not to mention the buildings that they do it in. Truly a work of art and really wonderful thank you to enjoy it.
I love that you guys go to places I've been , I went to Nordhouse Dunes for the first time last summer, my sweatheart took me there for my 65'th birthday, I had never been there before even though I have lived my entire live in West Michigan and have hiked the dunes from Saugatuck to Mackinac. I discovered you guy's because of the pandemic and you've made it a little easier to get through. Thanks.
Nice video Rob! The first Nordhouse (New Years?) video is what got me hooked on A.A.....I subscribed and became a Patreon member immediately. Good to see you going back and reminiscing. Especially at the lake at the end of your hike. I'm gonna try that hike in the spring. I'll watch it again with the ambient sound only, BUT I thought the music picks were FANTASTIC! Hope you've warmed up by now!
Hi Robby, I found it after listening to you again. Tinna/Terra from Final Fantasy 6. Someone wrote this Song is literally what hope sounds like. When all is lost. When I was a kid and sometime as an adult in these trying times it feels like all is lost sometimes. But this Song gives one hope that better days are coming. Thanks Robby for a Great Video.
I've never done a snow hike and it was a magical journey to follow along with you. What you said about music as a kid really resonated with me too. Aerith's theme from FF VII is maybe the most impactful song I've ever heard. Great credits song too!
Hey Robby you need to get yourself one of those double sided tarps. The one that have a silver side to them. Put that down first with the silver side up and then your tent. You will notice a difference on the body warmth reflected back to you. Plus it protects the bottom of your tent.
Love watching you walk into the snow and enjoy in the time you're there. I'm a water person myself. I grew up at the beach but if it's got a lake or a stream or a Creek. I'm a happy camper. I love the music you use in your videos you just mentioned the kind of music that you like and though I don't know video game music very well I. Do know that the music for your videos really contributes to the quality of them and I really enjoy it. I've always been someone who enjoys the background music in movies and stuff and so I just find it really Sets off the beauty. Thank you so much
As a youth in the late 80s, growing up with the NES, I loved the theme music from the Mario bros games. Some of the ambient music from games such as Simcity as well.
Nice video! Been years since I was at Nordhouse Dunes and it was summer when I backpacked there. He hiked in to the Lakeshore in the middle of the night and swam in the moonlight before going to sleep.
I rafted down the Sheenjek river in northern Alaska in the fall of 1990. Your frozen shoes reminded me of that trip. Thanks for another great video , keep up the wonderful work !
It's amazing how one's mind works when alone on the trail vs having trail mates along. We reflect on our past, how we were as children, our past relationships, marriages, having and raising kids. Oftentimes we wonder if we had tweaked or eliminated an event in our past, how would be at the present and where would we be. It's funny(?) how this present health climate has us reflecting on the past as well. Right now I'm wishing I was back in the Hawaiian Islands...Maui no ka oi, Maui is the best. Would I be lying in this hammock as it snows or would I rather be in a hammock locking out over the Pacific...hmmm. BTW great adventure Robby!
Oh man! Robby, that shot of you walking away from the camera in the snow, your steps mimicking those of the Magitek armors walking toward Narshe to Terra’s theme...you really tugged at my nostalgia, dude! Such a brilliant homage to my favorite video game of all time to one of my favorite video game songs of all time! Loved it!!!
... Always a good time in the outdoors,, some more comfortable than others.. but do it while the fires stayed lit.... Love the comment " Nostalgia's My Favorite Drug " .... as we get older and don't get out as often ,, we can look into our minds and recall some of the best times of our lives ....
Hey Robby, I have the exact same thoughts you mentioned @ 19:51, but, funny enough, looking at what you and the adventure archives group do is amazing in itself to me. You guys give me the inspiration to one day hike and explore nature all around. LOVE THE VID!
Thanks for watching! If you'd like to see the trip with ambient sound only, check that video out here:
th-cam.com/video/cdUZOpXkL14/w-d-xo.html
Loved both versions! Sooo how much work would it be to do both versions for all your videos?! ☺️ For real, though - thanks for all that y’all do!
@@sarahd2800 It's not that much extra work actually! It's very likely we'll do ambient versions of all of our videos from now on.
Adam Criaging it up, ic. lol
Curious to see how TH-cam would treat the videos algorithmically. Was there a reason you didn't list the ambient one?
@@RobbyHuang I like all AA videos. I put off watching the ambient sounds video because it was 'different', but I watched it recently, and I loved it. I felt like I was on the hike with you.
Not gonna lie, some of my fav Adventure Archives are solo Robby trips =P
Totally but do you usually lie?

i love robby's humor, these solo hikings feel so good to watch, finding this channel is probably one of the best things that happened to me last year
Is your pic Rin from Yuru Camp? If so nice 👍
@@ishlaurennxyes it's. talking about rin, these types of videos remember me of her saying that solo camping is a way to appreciate loneliness.
Oh man, that feeling of scratching/massaging you head after you've been wearing a hat for too long is one of the best feelings
Solo Hikes with Robby...the best kind of Adventure Archives spinoff series.
Excellent job Robby. Solo winter camping is never easy, but always an adventure. Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏼
Loving

You are already doing more than a lot of other people. You can't compare experiences only appreciate what you have accomplished. Keep moving! 😁
Excellent insight, dude, on finding joy in others' achievements. That's a perspective I can learn from and take back to my professional life.
The word "magical" is the only word that gives a proper description of a snow hike. Glad the hamburger skillet and Good Day Sunshine Bowl helped re-fuel The Machine. :)
The Mitten!
The outtakes are a good reminder of how often you talk to yourself each day 😅. Going to check out the ambient sound version now!
You did such a good job on this video. I really enjoyed it. And I love how you ponder life out loud.
Nordhouse Dunes in the winter is magical!
Beautiful stormy icy winter colors! Nature in all of its brilliance..thanks for your efforts to bring us there! Enjoying :)
Excellent video. My wife and I had to go back and watch the Mt Whitney Video to the bitter end to fulfill our curiosity! What a cliff hanger!
No matter what, the lake keeps rolling.
We love our Michigan ❤️
Thank you Robby!
Hand warmers in the boots at night makes them a little more bearable in the morning. Love winter hiking/camping!
Super Nintendo music is his favorite? This kid has a soul
I would definitely need a good solo trip after having a trip with Thomas.
One of FF's best songs, really fills you with a sense of haunting wonderment.
Love Robby hiking on his own. He’s the best!! And of course, I share his love of eating a hot meal outdoors.
Collective We. 👍
Thanks for going on this trip for us in our beautiful Pure Michigan state. ;)
you know that thing when it's so cold outside that you having trouble moving your mouth to even form words? that's the feeling I get from this video. that's the vibe. short but great vid!
Thank you for the nice video
Real Talk: I enjoy solo episodes with Robby the best! Keep it up, great content. Bring the viewer along with you.

Great video, I really like your selection of music. The lighter notes add an upbeat tone I'll have to try with my hiking videos.
he also composes the music.
WOW snow on sand is a sight I've never seen before! It's gorgeous and with that music!!! Perfection! 💙

"Nostalgia is my favorite drug" my favorite quote of this whole episode. I couldn't agree more. People often ask why I'm an old soul.... you explained it well!
Good video, I'm waiting for the continuation😍😎
The Terras theme after your speech was a nice touch :D love the videos!
Of your solo adventures this one seems to pull at my heart the most. And I don’t know why. Nicely done as usual, Robby.
Video game music is awesome. Especially from Final Fantasy. So many feelings of nostalgia and memories from simpler times.
Talking about the most impactful songs: "To Zanarkand" from FFX
So I also wanted to let you know if you haven't seen Andre Bocelli's , The Journey, that just came out this weekend. I think you guys would love it. The beauty of the countryside of Italy. The Journey, and the quality of the music is just breathtaking not to mention the buildings that they do it in. Truly a work of art and really wonderful thank you to enjoy it.
The colours and that light near the lake... sweet baby jesus! Nice one mr Robby!
I really enjoy the music you guys compose and place in your features. Very well done.
the Music Finale makes me wanna dance with the snow!
I adore seeing my home state shared by awesome people. And now I have a new space to explore as well! Thanks for sharing!
Just going out to be out--love it!
Another great story! BTW you've brought more happiness to more people than you can imagine, so keep on hiking and sharing your adventures.

You are the best solo video narrator/commentary guy youtube has ever seen
Great advice. Always rejoice in the achievements others.
Dude. I loved Terra's theme too! Now I know why I connect with you guys. FF6 is so deep. Everyone needs to play it.
Got chills during the Terra theme song section, you have some really good taste in video game music. The FFVII soundtrack also gets me too
LLLLOOOOVVVVEEED this one!! Great shots and the music and the winter!
I've never done a snow hike and it was a magical journey to follow along with you. What you said about music as a kid really resonated with me too. Aerith's theme from FF VII is maybe the most impactful song I've ever heard. Great credits song too!
Love the edits, especially at the end the timing of the music ending and camera falling was👌🏼 love it!
Still need to come down south to the Great Smokies and along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I like the change in audio in this one, alot more atmospheric
the music is just so good in this video

Thanks for sharing what Nordhouse Dunes is like in the winter.
Going for my first solo trip in Pennsylvania this weekend at Michaux State Forest, my first time winter camping too. It's gonna be an experience!
It’s beautiful there.
Your life is fine and your attitude is great. Thank you for expressing.
As a youth in the late 80s, growing up with the NES, I loved the theme music from the Mario bros games.
Some of the ambient music from games such as Simcity as well.
That is so beautiful and magical.
This is becoming my favourite content, keep it up
Yasssssssss! 6:53 looks like something from another planet
Nice video! Been years since I was at Nordhouse Dunes and it was summer when I backpacked there. He hiked in to the Lakeshore in the middle of the night and swam in the moonlight before going to sleep.
another masterpiece of cinematography! also loved the musical choice.
Just hiked the trail counterclockwise this Fall. Only got lost once! It was super windy then, more power to you for doing this during the winter.
Robbie I love your work your passion and your dedication to what you do all of you guys🙏
I rafted down the Sheenjek river in northern Alaska in the fall of 1990. Your frozen shoes reminded me of that trip. Thanks for another great video , keep up the wonderful work !

Also the birds at 10 min are snow buntings.
Happy Trails!
The campsites off the Dunes Edge Trail (to the right at the first big fork), right before the water, are my favorite.
Beautiful scenery, beautiful insights. Thank you Robby.
He really does always have amazing words of wisdom thrown into these solo videos! They're such important reminders!
So nice to see that you guys don't have to go out together hiking 🥾 that your not afraid to go it alone.
