After finding your channel this summer - I am now going deeper into the Archives archives. I'm enjoying getting to travel vicariously while pretty much homebound, so I appreciate the great places and trips. I really appreciate your style and spirit. Guileless, natural, thoughtful, erudite and light hearted. Your gear selections are of no real interest - just a means to get you out there. I really enjoy how you notice plants and wildlife and share your knowledge. And your mad skills with videography, audio and music are really impressive and a joy to experience. For me, you highlight the aspects of outdoor trips that I am after - the simple tasks, the consciousness of being alive, the spontaneous discoveries, large and small amazements in nature, dopey mistakes and satisfaction of adapting and just BEING. I want to thank you so very much, and wish the best for you and hope you are able to continue your chosen lifestyle.
20:45 - I love the Chinese Dancing Dragon music while you scramble to get the bald eagle.
Hahaha, thanks! -Andrew
Seriously, you guys should be on television. This is broadcast quality stuff. I like how your videos aren't just a 'vlogger'-esque mish-mash of footage, but a well planned and produced piece of entertainment.
+Rachel Jackson Thanks so much! Those are very kind words. I hope you come back real soon for our Yosemite video. Hopefully you like it
AdventureArchives Cool! Look forward to it. The bit with the bald eagle cracked me up, too. So DRAMATIC haha
+Rachel Jackson Haha, we were trying so hard to get a decent shot. We still haven't gotten around to buying a telescopic lens, I'm afraid. Thanks again for watching! -Andrew
I get what you mean...but television is not the future. If they keep this up, they'll create their own niche in this sort of format. This is what is replacing TV.
AA's video have a fantastic beyond power ~ music is so fresh and a new imagination about east ~a pure joy mind write a pure walking songs ~
The eagle scene with the music was so well done. Made me laugh!
The way you share your meals is so special, so inspiring. Thank you
You guys adventure, film, edit and compose your own music. You dudes are awesome!
We (gf and I) passed you guys while you were filming on the first island that day. Never would've thought I'd see the video you all were making. Great work!
Haha, that is awesome! How'd you end up finding us? Are you in the shot from the first island at all? Maybe some day we'll run into each other again at some random national park/forest. Thanks for watching! --Andrew
neil barker - Can't respond directly to your comment, but thank you for watching! Indeed, Kimchi is super refreshing. We will definitely keep posting! Thanks again!
I had the best experience of my life kayaking in the green river. We kayak from 3-9pm. When it was getting dark, it was just me and my friends on the river and then it started to rain, it was hot so the rain felt really good, the sound of the rain, the water droplets pattern on the river, the mist. It was all magical, like I am in a different world.
I can't believe how I just found this but you made me cry and homesick I was raised here. Mammoth Cave was my school trip from grade school through higher school 🤣I live in another state now far from my beloved Kentucky.The Green River Can be very dangerous and the plants.But so beautiful. Oh and the snakes.
That's awesome! I hope you get to visit Mammoth Cave again sometime soon to relive some of those memories. It's amazing how certain places can hold such cherished memories. Thanks for watching :)
That looks so relaxing. When I get back to the states I'll have to put that on my bucket list.
darkempress2003 For sure! When you get out there, let us know how it goes. It was definitely relaxing. Thanks for watching!
24:30 I love the detuned sitar theme song while you retrospectively describe the spiky acid balls
The trips you guys do with canoes are so peaceful.
Also, the bit with the bald eagle made me actually lol. With the music it felt like something outta Avatar The Last Airbender
Beautiful shot at 3:33. With the leaves falling and how the sun hits the van and trees in the background :)
ThatGuyRonnie Thanks! Yeah, that was a random lucky one we happened to get. It was even more peaceful than it looks on the video.
AdventureArchives Haha it's always the random lucky shots that look the best! Where are you guys from? I'm from Columbus OH, so what got me watching your videos in the beginning was your Zaleski video.
ThatGuyRonnie So true. There's a lot of serendipity in these videos actually. We're from Columbus too! Well, Rob is originally from Indiana, but we're all living around the 614 now.
Thats awesome! I knew that production name sounded familiar. We should definitely get coffee and chat sometime. It's always nice meeting other videographers! I'm actually going to be filming the Athens music fest "#Fest" this weekend. It's my first fest so I'm pretty excited.
Not sure if you guys would ever see this but I have been binge watching your episodes and I LOVE your episodes, they're great. Your personalities all shine, they're educational, VERY entertaining, and I love that it's all focused on the hikes and the mentality it gives, very inspirational! I hope one day to see you guys on a national tv or even public tv, you guys would EASILY have a dedicated audience. Please keep them up! I'll thumbs up every one I see!
hmm that food at the end thanks guys it was wonderful love ya
This is one of my favorite video of yours...Thanks for producing...
The tracks you saw and thought was water fowl were wild turkey tracks on your 1st camp site. I also live in Ohio (SE). I enjoy your your trips and get out on the weekends myself. Keep up the good work!
Ah, awesome! Good to know. Thanks so much for watching, and we'll definitely keep it up! Cheers :) -Andrew
Thanks for taking us along guys. I'm doing a solo trip there next week except starting 20mile up stream from Dennison's ferry. Glad you all enjoyed your stay in Kentucky your welcome back anytime.
***** Thanks! Kentucky is a beautiful place. We're definitely hoping to come back and check out Red River Gorge and Land Between the Lakes. We wanted to do the 20 mile one as well I think, but decided to play it safe with the filming and stuff. Let us know how your trip goes! And let us know how the mosquitoes are during this time of year, haha --Andrew
Superior Hiking Trail. You'll enjoy it!
blkcpdconure Thanks for the suggestion! Looks pretty incredible from what I can tell. We're hoping to get out to Minnesota sometime soon. Boundary Waters has also been in our sights. Not sure when we'll get there though. Thanks for watching! -Andrew
Man !!!!! Top Knotch guys ! Top Knotch ! Great Job documenting your trip.! Thank You.
Thank you so much for watching! So glad you liked it!
This is a great video guys.My sister and I like to kayak and are planning a 24 mile trip down a river.I'm glad someone knows who Calvin and Hobbes is.Be careful out there guys.
Thanks, Danny. Calvin and Hobbes probably is a big reason we love the outdoors in the first place. -Robby
AdventureArchives Be safe out there.
How young and innocent you looked! Nice to see your change over the years.
I love watching your old videos. It's so fun seeing how far you've come! This is still great, but the production quality/ polish of your new videos is just insane.
Rod Surber Can't respond directly to your comment for some reason, but thanks so much for sharing on your page! A whitewater trip sounds great. We will let you know for sure. --Andrew
Canoeing and rain go very well together. Just adds to the experience.
+Kevin Fraser Hahaha- less so with lots of camera equipment
how? LOL what an idiot you are
That was really cool!... I live in the Northwest so I know the allure of moving water. If you want to check out another cave try Carlsbad Cavern in southeast New Mexico, be sure to arrive in the late afternoon so you can see the bats leaving the cave to feed, it's incredible.
Those tracks were some type of cat, bobcat most likely. Feline prints do not show claws since they retract them, and canine print always show claws since they can not retract them.
Awesome to know - thanks! Yeah, I knew they didn't look like a dogs, but I had no idea what it might've been. I gotta study up, haha. Thanks for the comment! --Andrew
AdventureArchives Must have been the sound we heard during the night? -Robby
They where defenitly bobcat I have one that's circuit goes right through my yard same 👣
Beautiful intro monologue
Excellent filming as always. I always learn something about plants by watching your videos and get ideas for camera shots for my own videos. Way to go and keep up the great work.
Kibble135 Thanks, and do keep making videos, we'll be on the lookout for them.
Terrific video, I watched the whole thing with my 4 year old daughter and she was glued to the screen! Thanks for taking us along. Subbed!
MrKnuckles8978 We cannot tell you how much it means to us when we hear comments like this. It really makes us feel good to know that we're making stuff that people can all enjoy as a family. Thanks so much for watching and can't wait to make more stuff for you! -Robby
love the bushcrafty lesson in feathersticks with Robby!
Hubby and I have been binge watching your channel... You guys have it all.. fantastic Characters. Fantastic quality,. Lots of charm. Oh and I about fell out of my chair with the " bigfootie" comment.. We heard a strange hollowing in Colorado...
Jacob Thomas - Can't reply directly to your comment, but it's good to know this was helpful! Let us know how your trip goes. And thanks a bunch for watching! --Andrew
Fantastic video guys, very well done!
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!
My son did a dancy dance to the bald eagle music! Love you guys..you guys should get a series on Netflix.
Haha, that's a good song to do a dance to! Thanks so much, that's very flattering :) Maybe one day! Cheers -Andrew
Bravo! Bravo!! I really enjoyed coming along on your adventure if only by video.
I took a canoeing trip two summers ago, it was my first time but it had some class 2 and class 3 rapids which made for adventure along side the more serine stretches.
Thanks so much! So glad you liked it!
That sounds awesome. Haha, we could probably use some canoeing classes ourselves. The river was pretty low, so we had really weak rapids when we had any. Sounds like it'd be fun! --Andrew
I just love watching you all. I am learning more ans and more
Me: so why does my back hurt when I wake up?
Also me: 1:06
Really enjoyed the video. No where better to be but in the here and now. Seeing and feeling the moment of life in the great outdoors and can not wait to see some more of your adventures. All the best to you all for the New Year and here are some videos on TH-cam you may like to watch, mind science kept hidden, EARL Nightingale,Markus Rothkranz, health benefits of cayenne pepper,health benefits of canary seeds. I hope you all enjoy . Thanks, Andrew
Andrew Paul Reynolds Thanks for watching and really glad you enjoyed it! Haven't heard of any of those, but we'll try to check them out. Thanks! -Robby
This is my first video of you guys to watch, and was not disappointed. Ive got to go back and thank Survival Lily for suggesting your channel. Thanks again for sharing your adventure with us.
+Todd Boone Thanks so much for watching! Survival Lily is awesome! We're glad you liked the adventure :)
The Allan Watts quote and your comments that follow really express what this sort of thing is for me. Par for the course for you guys! Thanks again!
Nate Buker Thank you so much! Thanks going through all of the episodes. Alan Watts has some great philosophy. -Andrew
AdventureArchives The pleasure's mine!
I like the Chinese themes music,perfect action
Absolutely fantastic video. You're really good at this. I was a ranger/cave guide at Mammoth Cave for years, and you've captured the park beautifully. Subscribed!
Thank you so much - that means a lot to us, especially from a former ranger and guide! It was a really beautiful place to explore. Thank you for watching, and for subscribing! -Andrew
My friend and I have hiked all around Ky, Red River Gorge, mammoth cave etc. Like one of the other comments, the time and effort and detail you all put into your work is incredible. I really appreciate the knowledge of plants and the well thought out voice overlay to the video. This is just quality work and I’m hooked. Thanks
Great video!
Man, that food at the very end made my mouth water!
Looks like you-all had a nice float. I prefer solo paddling and once you perfect your J-stroke, you might too. Paddling is like hiking, but you can move silently and catch wildlife that do not notice you, and yet, bears and snakes cannot sneak up on you. Also, pack weight is not an issue.
Thanks for sharing your adventures! :D
+Ron Mueller I love solo paddling! I went to Algonquin this past summer and was practicing my J-stroke. I had someone else in the canoe but I was the only one paddling in the back, and I was getting the hang of it. It's such a wonderfully peaceful activity. And like you said, we got to see some amazing wildlife - a bull moose one day, then a cow moose and her calf the next. We're hoping to do another canoeing episode this summer. Thanks for the comment and for watching!! Cheers :) -Andrew
I’m impressed in your minimal filming of Mammoth Cave. You just gave a taste, just an idea... you gave nothing away.....it makes me want to hop on a plane and visit again. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great production on this! It is always refreshing to see your neck of the woods through the eyes of others. It didn't get much more "down home" than at the Watermill!
+Aunt Jenny Marie Thanks so much - Kentucky's a lovely place! Haha, Watermill was great. Is it mostly locals who go there? Or do they get lots of park visitors too? Thank you so much for watching, and glad you enjoyed it! -Andrew
refreshing to see bryan talk
also savage that he had all the needed gear lul XD
Haha, he is definitely the gear guy of the group!
Rock wiping,,,I like it! Trying it on my next hike!
Haha, hope it goes well! Just remember to use the smooth ones ;) Cheers! -Andrew
Dudes, watching you guys eat, is making me hungry! Lol...
hoobilly 65 Every time I watch them myself I have to get up and eat.
hoobilly 65 Haha, whenever I watch eating scenes (in any show/movie), I want to eat exactly what the person on the video is eating. Unless it's Silence of the Lambs or something. --Andrew
I'll try the smokes anchovies and pine needle tea, that's it dude! lol...
What a great adventure!! Awesome work guys, yet again you have shared with us an inspirational adventure. As a movie maker I am in envy. As an adventurer... I'm jealous as hell!! Keep up the fantastic work, all the very best guys!
Emmanuel Machler Thanks, Emmanuel! Maybe one day we'll find a way to have an adventure with you in Australia (that is where you are at, correct?). Take care and thanks again! -Robby
An adventure with you guys would be one of the best I'm sure! Yea Robby I'm in australia, with plans to cross the pond one day. One way or another a camp with Adventure Archives is on the agenda!! All the best.
Great channel! I love observing nature, discover and meditate...
Poor Andrew! Seems like he got the short end of the stick!. 😅
Haha, no worries! I like paddling by myself :) -Andrew
Thank you for the great adventure video! It was great to sit back with a warm drink and enjoy your canoe trip. Love to canoe camp, have been doing it for over 50 years. Good way to get away from the crowd. Enjoyed your sleeping Bear trip too. I live in Traverse City and it's always nice to see folks from out of town enjoying our area. Good clean type of industry to have. Thanks again!
Brazing Bill We loveeeeee Traverse City. Such good memories from there. -Robby
yo bear yo bear hahaha love you guys
Gliding on the water like that looks just so peaceful and relaxing. I loved the time-lapse of the night sky: beautiful. I hope you guys got more than one tour of the actual Mammoth Caves. They are so incredible!
I think this is your best video and I've seen alot of them. More water trips guys
Nice video! I love the random shots of nature along the river. I hope to float the Green River one day.
soooo soooo goooooooood
Hunter Hooter Thank you for watching!
Wow seeing how far you guys have come from this video...really shows that if you stick to it you improve!
My girlfriend and I did the same route this last Summer and went on all the islands you guys visited. Beautiful scenery. Breathtaking. Mammoth Cave Canoe and Kayaking were excellent, just as Matt Perez said.
Headed to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Badlands National Park this Summer
+Erick Bolden Awesome! Sleeping Bear Dunes is so amazing too! I recommend bringing some loose and light long pants to keep the black flies off of your ankles
Thanks man! Great editing, by the way.
+Erick Bolden Thank you! :)
I love ll the videos I have seen so far. Thank you so much for taking us along with us and for teaching us so much. I am really enjoying it.
Love the Demolition Man reference - well done, as always!
Alan Watts an Edward Abbey two of my favorites. It was because of how Abbey talked about the Southwest that I packed my backpack and headed to the Canyon Country at 19. Thought I loved this channel before. Sure of it now😉
Thanks for posting! I enjoyed the canoe trip it's a great trade off to trail blazing and the background sounds of the environment makes you feel like you're right there...love you guys. Carter Caves State Resort Park has some caves, lakes and trails in the area you might like to explore if you haven't already.
And yet another exciting trip. I have been on many canoe trips, but never one where I could camp out over night. I need to try that. All of my canoeing has been in the Mohican area of Ohio. Glad you guys had such great weather.
+Jeremy Buchanan Thanks so much! This was actually my first canoe camping trip as well, I think. I really want to go on more. The only other one I've been on after this was a one nighter in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. Absolutely breathtaking. Is the little Miami River around there? I've gone canoeing on that river a couple times with friends. Hope you get to try canoe camping soon! Thanks so much for watching! -Andrew
OMG. I’m so excited you did the mammoth caves we took our kids there last summer. We did an RV camping trip. Kayaked on that same peaceful river. The caves are amazing
im going kayaking and fishing there with my dad tommorow,this video is SO SO enjoyable to get me hype to go there :]
Lol I love the water mill. Eat there every time I visit.
was planning on moving to KY in 2016 and after watching this it just makes me want to go more
ray5220 It's a beautiful place! Some other areas in KY we want to visit are Red River Gorge and Land Between the Lakes. Thank you for watching! -Andrew
Andrew really is the official Fire maker
+Phoebe Guquib haha yes, he is indeed. -Robby
Great video as always! Love the quote from former PM Pierre Trudeau re: canoeing. Kimchi makes a great camping food as well. Thanks for sharing and keep posting!
love the adventures guys
+Victor Estrada Thanks so much! Glad we get to share them with you, and thanks for watching :) -Andrew
Very well done guys. Good job. Makes me want to go kayaking too.
We hope you get to go paddling sometime soon! I guess it's pretty cold now though, depending on where you live
Really great video, and you guys are really cool and down to earth.
Erik Westerveld Thanks so much, we're glad you like it. We try, haha. Thanks again --Andrew
Great Video! you guys are awesome!!
Scott Bronson Thanks so much! Really glad you like it! -Andrew
The wait for this video felt so long... but it was totally worth it! Keep up the awesome work guys!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear that! And we will try - we just recently filmed a winter camping episode. Thanks again!
Glad to see you guys at mammoth cave park! I'm very familiar with the place and grew up in the area.
+Rockin' Ky It's a beautiful place! I had no idea before that there were so many things to do there. Thanks for watching :) -Andrew
Awesome Video fellas! I'm actually planning on doing the same trip via Kayak in a few weeks. So, this was very helpful,
Going through from Season 1 on. Loving the channel so far. Looking forward to getting to your 4K episodes
Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoy them :) Cheers! -Andrew
Thanks guys
keep it up! this was a great one!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
Damn Guys- This was epic
I've watched all of your camping videos and I think this one is your best. Please do more canoe camping videos!
+AAznguy You know, that is a good idea. We will see what we can do.
Nice job fellas! It's great to see younger people getting into bushcrafting! You guys made me miss my old canoe even more. I see building a birch bark canoe in my future. Having a hard time without one. It's the best way to see the wilderness in my opinion.
I spent nearly a month on a hilltop overlooking the Green River Valley, upstream from your trip, last October. You guys inspired me to plan on a Green River trip from my sister's property down to the caves at some point. Keep up the great work!
MrGeiermann There's a great episode of Ray Mears where he builds a canoe. Loved the trip out there, so if you go, let us know how it was. -Robby
MrGeiermann I just saw this comment, but wow, I would love to know more about that month you spent up there. Sounds amazing. And I can only imagine what it's like not having a canoe after owning one. I always want to get out canoeing more. Hope your trip to the river goes well! Thanks so much for watching! --Andrew
Great video! Nice touch with the crazy music when the Bald Eagle appears! lol
Beardman29 Haha thanks! Those cymbal-sounding things are used commonly in Beijing Opera. It seemed to fit pretty well, haha. Thanks again! -Andrew
this videos are so good ..quality,content and info ..cant believe people arent subscribing
Thanks so much for the kind words!! And thanks for watching :) -Andrew
I really enjoyed your video. It shows a lot of character between friends who have a lot in common. the narration was spot on, and the I was absorbed in the trip as if I was there myself. Nature is awesome, and you all did a great job expressing it in your film. Thanks for sharing it with me.
+Don Wilson (diggin Time USA) Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. We always worry about whether or not we really captured the feeling of being out in nature, so it's good to hear you say that. It never compares to the real thing, though! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers -Andrew
Awesome, love the channel!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the videos! :)
Awesome video!!! And a awesome channel.
Sigge Eriksson Thanks Sigge! More coming soon.
Great video. I enjoyed it.
Great vid guys!
Michael Kirk Thanks a bunch! Glad you liked it!
AdventureArchives I live in KY. You guys should check out Red River Gorge. It has the highest amount of natural rock formations than anywhere east of the Colorado. Going there this weekend for a three day trip.
Another GREAT video! I think this one knocks my last favorite of yours into 2nd place! Very, very well done.
WoodsTrekka' Thank you, glad we didn't disappoint!
Outa curiosity, which was your last favorite? haha --Andrew
They have all been enjoyable. However, my previous favorite was either Zaleskie because it was tight but loose, or dolly sods because of the location.
dude keep making vids you are funny i saw your super shelter FUNNY!
Thanks so much! We will definitely keep at it! -Andrew
Really nice job on the video.
Thanks so much! You might enjoy our other canoeing video from Algonquin :) Cheers! -Andrew
Great video!
Thank you!!
I see my exit! Im really enjoying your videos, thanks!
+Don Walker As in highway exit? Do you live in the 513? Haha. Thanks so much for watching! -Andrew
