Huge thank you to Max from greatlakeswatercraft.com for loaning us the boat! If you're interested in one of these boats, check out his website. And as always thank you to our patrons for your support, if you want to see the episodes early and get extras like bloopers and commentaries, check out patreon.com/adventure. Thanks for watching!
It was an awesome experience getting to work with you guys start to finish! Loved the episode and love that you got a shot at redemption on the Manistee River. Everything was perfect: footage, music, homecooked meals, and memories! Cheers!
A big thanks to you too Max for making this possible for us! This trip has definitely reinforced our confidence about future waterbound trips! We're thrilled you enjoyed the video , 😀
I love your channel so much I feel like I know you guys. This is my favorite trip so far. Good job Brian being motorboat captain! I love hearing about the mushrooms! This spot was beautiful I love the adventures! ❤
Don’t usually comment but it’s crazy this video doesn’t have the usual amount of views or more! It was a really good video. Hoping the algorithm picks it up:)
Your videos are absolutely delightful! You three are so likeable. Wish I could do a trip with you. However, I'm now older and its safer to stay home and watch you and remember when I was exploring adventurous places when I was your age. Keep up your trips and stay fun! I'll be watching you. Love & blessings to you!
Would never put it past you all, but I appreciate you guys going back for the pieces of the propeller. While some may view the LNT (Leave No Trace) principles as strict, to me, there is no feeling more free than going into nature, getting everything you want out of your experience while living in harmony with your surroundings, not doing anything to negatively impact the balance of things, and leaving things better than how you found them. Balance and harmony....who knew right? 🙂
I am an 81 year old fan. Your videos are so relaxing and informative. I love nature and your casual, happy attitudes. I love Michigan as i have relatives on both sides. Thx.
Probably totally not appropriate. I am an older mom of guys. Always love how you guys always have to not only tell us you have to pee but tell us what you are using for t. And though I appreciate the reasons, 😂😂😂
At 55 Yrs old…you guys make me have wished of doing 1/16 of your journeys you guys have done at your age. The music and cinematography is epic! Thank you tons for all your great videos‼️ 🏕
Long time subscriber and I’m always blown away by the quality of the final videos. The footage, the editing, the music, the overdubbed commentary are all perfection. Everything works together to tell the story. I don’t know if there is another channel on TH-cam with this degree of professionalism.
Hey now, Wesley Crusher ended up being able to travel across space and time without being on a starship. With your guys' fun humor, I'd say the navigator would be more like Tom Paris.
As I am successfully past that age when certain things can’t be said out loud, let me tell you, when I was younger, the female dilemmas regarding hiking, camping, boating, all sorts of outdoor ventures, seemed to be awfully overwhelming, starting with a minor one like shaving legs, or not(!?)… There were moments when I dreamed to be a man in my next life. What a vast level of freedom that would bring! I have mastered my freedom by now, no need to change a gender, but, oh my, I would be so jealous if I happened to go back in time and watch you young men being so relax and free from “champagne problem” of an old days young girl! I cannot express how much I enjoyed watching your boat saga! Special thank you for being environmentally thoughtful. Now off I go to revise my Star Trek 😉
I love when you post a bright video with beautiful scenery right when it starts to get gross and grey here in Cincinnati. Staves off cabin fever for a little bit.
Seemed like a really nice trip. I loved the 'temo~' chant that you kept using, it made me laugh every time. Also especially loved the music vibes when you were going down the 'desolate' section of the river at the end. Really felt like an ominous dungeon in a rpg.
Yes! I just hit that point in the video and had to pause to come comment. A genuinely stunning piece there from you Robby, very different from most anything we've heard in these videos, and very fun to listen to! Excellent job as always!
I really think you should split these into 2 episodes... I feel like you put in double the works lately with these 1.5+ hours episodes.... I don't wish you to work more for the same patreon amout ❤
I live 45 mins away from Manistee and I haven't been able to go. Got pregnant last year and now have a small baby to tend to, so who knows when I'll be able to. Thank you for allowing me to live through you!
Enjoyed this relaxing river trip and return to Manistee. Lots of wildlife and it was great that Max at Great Lakes Watercraft could provide the electric transport. Nice to move down the river and still be able to hear you guys converse without having to compete with a loud engine. Thumbs up on the gumbo too! 👍 Nice one guys!
I love my state. Michigan is breath taking. Thanks for showing some the good stuff. Please remember when you come camping and hiking in Michigan that we have black bears, mountain lion and other predators so be smart and safe out there.
Sensei Andrew is time-traveling between Michigan and Hong Kong this week, which is impressive. Thanks for the great content, you guys. It's always a cut above and the music is epic as usual.
Grew up and spent my summers at Insta Launch campground. Helping my grandparents who owned it at the time. Located right where the river ends into Manistee Lake. Which then leads out to Lake Michigan through the city of Manistee. My grandfather and uncles. (His sons) were all charter captains....I miss those day😊
All after Cohobend: The log strune area was 'Devils Elbow.' That 1st big bare bank you pasted was called the Clay Bank. Clay Bank bayou to Clay Bank Lk was just before it. I was fishing below the Clay Bank when a slide slipped down the bank. The 2nd big bank with house after it was the Sand Bank, around the next corner was a straight 4' shallow stretch called 'The Mile.' The Highway was M55.
I watch one of your videos every evening after work to unwind. I have started watching while walking on my treadmill hoping for the day I can hike again. Thank you for all your videos. Y’all make me happy!
The property where you broke the propellor is a great place for Salmon fishing. It is a large gravel bar there. My friends parents are part owners there. I wondered if I was going to see it in the video. Lol.
Just would like to say, it's good to see ya'all again. Haven't seen much of your videos lately. So I'm glad to catch this one when it came across my feed. Good job boys!!!
What a relaxing and visually pleasing episode. Already watched it 3 times. Ghosts of Manistee has been laid to rest. Now this place won't remind you of the tipped canoe anymore.
I always enjoy your adventures. Thanks for taking us down the Manistee. And as always, a short lesson in wild edibles. Pizzas and gumbo looked delicious.
Packrafts are great little boats that can be carried around. One thing I like to do with them is to do a Source to Sea, hike up the mountain and take the raft down.
8:30 pm. Most excellent adventure. Loved your transportation so much more relaxed than paddling for days. The wildlife photography was stupendous. You made me laugh and cheered me up so much
I think by far this is my favorite video! The footage, the journey, the camping site, and the people, very friendly. I even wanna watch it again. Very nice job guys, I absolutely love it!
Awesome, i enjoyed your adventures with the chill vibes. That’s river also very beautiful. This vlog inspired me to explore the beautiful nature of various countries. I'm waiting for your next nature exploration vlog soon 👍👍❤
That is a beautiful river. Boating is a lot of fun it is very relaxing to be out on the water If you guys are going to keep doing these aquatic adventures may I suggest that you take a boating course it would help you tremendously.❤
I just smile when I watch you guys! That gumbo looked phenomenal and I am not a gumbo fan. What a refreshing change with the boating. You all were great Captain Kirk's! I have been hearing alot lately about grounding and wonder if that is the sense of relaxation you all get from the total outdoor experience? I'd love to try this before I get too old!
In Andrew’s defense, that set up needs a propeller guard, that’s would be such an easy add on for the manufacturer. But, they wouldn’t sell as many spare props!!
I absolutely love watching you're videos. You are actively inspiring me to get out into nature to explore and admire it's incredible beauty. Can't wait for the next video as always. Have you guys thought about visiting Isle Royale?

He looks like one of Peyton Manning's cousins. lol
Was a pleasure getting to meet you guys! Thanks for giving my dog some screen time. 💙
Not related unfortunately lol@@Jmortimore23
It was an awesome experience getting to work with you guys start to finish! Loved the episode and love that you got a shot at redemption on the Manistee River. Everything was perfect: footage, music, homecooked meals, and memories! Cheers!

Thanks!
I love your channel so much I feel like I know you guys. This is my favorite trip so far. Good job Brian being motorboat captain! I love hearing about the mushrooms! This spot was beautiful I love the adventures! ❤
I loved Brian’s comment to Andrew that you don’t back out of your garage at full speed 😂
Don’t usually comment but it’s crazy this video doesn’t have the usual amount of views or more! It was a really good video. Hoping the algorithm picks it up:)
Thanks so much! Yeah, this one was a really cool trip. Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureArchives I’m sure it was way better than last time. Glad you guys had a good time, excited to see what you guys do for 2024 :)
Your videos are absolutely delightful! You three are so likeable. Wish I could do a trip with you. However, I'm now older and its safer to stay home and watch you and remember when I was exploring adventurous places when I was your age. Keep up your trips and stay fun! I'll be watching you.

Came here to say this. They're great men.
THE MUSIC.THE VIDEO.THE FRIENDSHIP. ALL AMAZING
Thanks! Good content fellow Ohioans! 😂
Thank you so much, Kenneth! We really appreciate it :)
"I'm going to say that Brian is probably the better motorboater than I am" - love this.
Glad someone else got that, even if it wasn't intended. Who am I kidding, of course it was intended.
@@chrisjbellew I caught that too. Dirty minds think alike!
This whole river journey gave me a Deliverance movie vibe and that mouth organ a duelling banjo vibe 😅
I love seeing Michigan like this. So underrated by adventure vlogs.
Thanks!
Whoa, thank you so much @israelcruz7767!!

Excellent video as usual! I just loved all the birds. You saw more bald eagles on that trip than I've seen in my life
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words and the donation! We were shocked and thrilled by all the wildlife we got to see!

I don't have any buddy's so it's nice to hang out with you dudes
I love when you post a bright video with beautiful scenery right when it starts to get gross and grey here in Cincinnati. Staves off cabin fever for a little bit.
Lol i feel that.
Im up here in dayton, you should come up here to yellowsprings (lol dave chappelle lives there too 😂) leave that cabin alltogether👌🏼💯
Bring back campfire chronicles!
I greatly enjoyed the chill vibes and talks about plants and mushrooms ❤

this is the second time I watched this and, again, when the propeller broke I said out loud "OH NO!"

Nice to move down the river and still be able to hear you guys converse without having to compete with a loud engine. Thumbs up on the gumbo too! 👍 Nice one guys!
The electric outboards are a nice touch. Clean, safe, and silent!
Ahhh, Pure Michigan, my Michigan! This was an awesome adventure.
I love my state. Michigan is breath taking. Thanks for showing some the good stuff. Please remember when you come camping and hiking in Michigan that we have black bears, mountain lion and other predators so be smart and safe out there.
Sensei Andrew is time-traveling between Michigan and Hong Kong this week, which is impressive. Thanks for the great content, you guys. It's always a cut above and the music is epic as usual.
Beautiful peaceful episode. It's great that these electro motors are so quiet. Nice camp fires and cooking too.

One of my favorite

We saw salmon starting to run already in mid/late August while we were scoping out the trip for the guys. Very cool seeing them all on the gravel bar.
Andrew and Robbie are actually really good actors. Great screen presence. Very good producers as well.
I certainly know what I am watching when I get home from a day of slinging gourmet macaroni and cheese for the fine folks of my hometown.
Just would like to say, it's good to see ya'all again. Haven't seen much of your videos lately. So I'm glad to catch this one when it came across my feed. Good job boys!!!
Thanks so much! We've got a lot of stuff in the works :)
Thank you
Love the angelic choir everytime the Temo is used lol great video as always
What a relaxing and visually pleasing episode. Already watched it 3 times. Ghosts of Manistee has been laid to rest. Now this place won't remind you of the tipped canoe anymore.
Hopping vampire 🤣🤣🤣💀 I watch for the top quality nature content, but I really watch for moments like hopping vampire 😆
I think this is my 2nd favourite video after Algonquin. So peaceful.
1:03:30 - Kiwi band OMC "How bizarre". Bizarre to hear it while floating down a river in Michigan.
Man, that looked wonderful. That little boat was perfect.
Loved the episode as always, anxious for the Japan episode but I know it takes time. I enjoyed Andrew’s video in Hong Kong!
Teeeeemooooooooo. Had me weak. Thank you guys for the new video. One quarter of the team is missing
I always enjoy your adventures. Thanks for taking us down the Manistee. And as always, a short lesson in wild edibles. Pizzas and gumbo looked delicious.
u guys are great HAPPY TRAILS...
That boat really is amazing 🤗 Very convenient and thanks to the electric motor soooo quiet. It looked very relaxing 😌
Fun break from the hike. Still seemed like a long hike since you guys structured the video the same way.
Andrew as Counselor Troy is hilarious! Made me laugh out loud. Andrew, his eyes opened.
Another great video. :) Congrats on 200K!
Packrafts are great little boats that can be carried around. One thing I like to do with them is to do a Source to Sea, hike up the mountain and take the raft down.
Great adventure guys! Looks like you had an amazing, mostly relaxing time. Looking forward to your next one! TEEEEMMMMOOOO
Fantastic! Amazing footage of the wildlife especially the kingfishers! Love all the facts about the flora and fauna.Perfect soundtrack.What fun!
A Lovely & Serene Adventure, Totally fun with You All, Thanks 😇
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have never boated down the Manistee River. I must plan this. I love your videos. Thank you again. Cheers!
Would love to see another adventure like this!
You've redeemed yourselves well, on the Manistee! Great trip and video!
Love the Manistee - and Tippy (my pic is from the campground there). Just an untouched awesome place. Glad you all enjoyed this, it was fun to watch!
Awesome video. Music was fantastic. That was cool you were able to use the boat. Especially when those two boats sped through.
My hometown❤!!! Loved the video.
Yayyy, back to this beautiful place I call home. I love when you guys tour here in the mitten.
8:30 pm. Most excellent adventure. Loved your transportation so much more relaxed than paddling for days. The wildlife photography was stupendous. You made me laugh and cheered me up so much
When you are looking for coffee in that nebula, you are Captain Janeway
I love all your videos, but this extra special because of the Star Trek mentions. Loved it!
That was the most majestic poop I have seen a bird take.. 1:24:30
It looks like a really fun journey down the river. 🎉🎉
I think by far this is my favorite video! The footage, the journey, the camping site, and the people, very friendly. I even wanna watch it again. Very nice job guys, I absolutely love it!
Awesome, i enjoyed your adventures with the chill vibes. That’s river also very beautiful. This vlog inspired me to explore the beautiful nature of various countries. I'm waiting for your next nature exploration vlog soon 👍👍❤
That is a beautiful river. Boating is a lot of fun it is very relaxing to be out on the water If you guys are going to keep doing these aquatic adventures may I suggest that you take a boating course it would help you tremendously.❤
Well done guys ,educational and beautiful to watch. ❤👍🥳🦘🕊
Waiting for the day I see an isle royale episode, great video though
❤❤❤
I just smile when I watch you guys! That gumbo looked phenomenal and I am not a gumbo fan. What a refreshing change with the boating. You all were great Captain Kirk's! I have been hearing alot lately about grounding and wonder if that is the sense of relaxation you all get from the total outdoor experience? I'd love to try this before I get too old!
Awesome trip! the gumbo made me soo hungry!
Apparently you guys could have just hiked down the river. Lol. Very nice experience, looks very peaceful. Glad to see another adventure!
Hahah I suppose that's true!
Doesn’t help first time with a good current going on. Great great video as always! Thank you! ‼️
I wish I was this cool and adventrous to go with you all! Please invite next time! :)
Woo hoo! I'm going to watch it tonight. My favorite You tubers. 😊
Thank you for sharing, and stay safe. Love from SLC, UT
The Dollar Tree has really cool little cutting boards great for camping 2 different styles .I bought both
I live and sail out of Manistee, glad you enjoyed your trip. I always enjoy your videos.
This is so nice to watch in January when its 13 degrees outside
In Andrew’s defense, that set up needs a propeller guard, that’s would be such an easy add on for the manufacturer. But, they wouldn’t sell as many spare props!!
2 hours...? Time to whip out the snacks!
Thanks for a trip back home! Grew up in that area... all so familiar. Wish I'd known more about the mushrooms when I lived there. I knew only morels.
Great episode and the music at 1:31:37 is awesome!
Whenever I have been in the wild and I get back to seeing civilization, it makes me a little sad.
So nice to see you three!!! An other great video!!!
Food is always delish when Bryan is around! 😊
Awesome awesome episode as always. Thanks guys.
Congratulations on 200k!
Awesome peaceful beautiful! Smiling through it all, love y'alls commraderie!
I absolutely love watching you're videos. You are actively inspiring me to get out into nature to explore and admire it's incredible beauty. Can't wait for the next video as always. Have you guys thought about visiting Isle Royale?
