Yessss! So good to see y’all spending time in the Pacific Northwest! What a beautiful spot, too. Love the Olympic Peninsula 😍😍 I’ve been hoping y’all would make your way out to the PNW for some adventuring and archiving! Thanks for a sweet video full of beauty and silliness, as always. You guys are great. 😊 Also, Andrew; that I Think You Should Leave reference in the end credit shoutouts really got me 😆 Cheers~ looking forward to the next one. ✨

25 seconds in and the picture quality is amazing so far!

Big fan here in upstate South Carolina. It’s past time for you guys to come through hike the gem of the southeast- our foothills trail.

It's a delight as a local hiker from the PNW (Pacific Northwest) that your group made your way here! Being newcomers, I see my surroundings with fresh eyes as you find plants, trees, and mushrooms new to you, while pointing out and naming others I never knew the names to my whole life. Many thanks!

Why are the skits at the end becoming my favorite part of each video

You braved grueling steep trails, rain and heat so we could enjoy fantastic and varied Olympic National Park scenery - thanks! Perfect cinematography and …those hilarious rainy tent scenes!

10:20 Did no one realize that the Kuroshio is a Panda?

Is that Morrowind's theme I hear sneaked into one of the songs? :)

Have you ever watched The Outdoors Boys? The father prepares some tasty food. Perhaps you don't eat enough food to give you strength. It is a beautiful park, thanks for taking us with you.

I like Thomas’s new shirt! Like I said earlier, had I known you all were coming to Seattle, I would’ve treated you to Dim Sum! Oh well. Loved the video. Never been to that rainforest; although I’ve lived here my whole life.

About those blueberries/huckleberries. I'm no botanist, but they're all huckleberries as far as what I know them by, or at least everyone in the hiking community calls them that here. There's one called "Oval-leaf huckleberry", also known as "oval-leaf blueberry", and that one has very oval shaped leaves that are smoother surfaced and have a lighter color (the leaves). Those are very tart and not so tasty. The berries also look very blue, with a strong bloom on the surface. I think its more appropriate IMO to call the oval-leaf huckle/blueberry a blueberry, not a huckleberry, because the huckleberries taste so much better and they have so much more complexity and sweetness to them (sweet and tart at the same time). The actual good huckleberries are the ones shown there in the alpine areas, though they can also grow in the mid montane elevations. One of those are called "mountain huckleberry" and the leaves look deeper green and have a sort of wavy-ness to them. The berries get much bigger than oval-leaf blueberry, they're much purpler, but they still have a bloom on the berry surface sometimes. The bushes can get tall, maybe 2-4 ft tall. The ones growing in the alpine areas in 1:14:12 you saw might not be "mountain huckleberry", but another kind though. I guess blueberry and huckleberry are used interchangeably by people, and I'm not sure if there is an actual difference though. Sometimes the oval leaf is also called a bilberry, even. But to me I've always known them all as huckleberries because of their distinct flavor from a blueberry (at least the ones I know them by, like ones sold in stores or plants sold in garden centers). Not an expert, but this is just what I've heard and read about them, at least what I recall reading. I don't know if there's an actual difference between a huckleberry and a blueberry. There's so many different huckleberry species around here. And yeah, the red huckleberry is also another one. It's also tasty and so much better tasting than the oval leaf one. Just not as good as the mountain huckleberry or other montane and alpine huckleberries (that aren't the oval-leaf one). The oval leaf huckleberry is just pure tart (by comparison). There's also the evergreen huckleberry that grows in the Oregon coast range, probably what Tillamook uses to make their huckleberry ice cream. Huckleberries are very different from blueberries in taste. To me, blueberries taste very same-y. Sweet, but boring in flavor and complexity. Huckleberries (the good ones) taste so sweet but also tart. And there's more complexity (sour-sweet). Huckleberry milkshakes are the best and so are huckleberry pie and crisp! :) Interestingly, huckleberries don't grow well in cultivation, which is why they haven't been successfully introduced to the market like blueberries have. So companies and people have to pick them from the wild. If you get anything made of huckleberries, it's probably made with actual wild-picked huckleberries, unless they're growing the evergreen huckleberry or the red huckleberry. Companies and restaurants buy up huckleberries from berry pickers who pick them in large quantities (with permits, only needed for picking massive amounts) to sell them. I have tried growing many different huckleberry species myself, almost all my mountain huckleberries died, with just two out of 9 alive. And they're slow growing. My oval leaf ones did fairly well and my evergreen and my red huckleberry plants have done amazingly. So only the red and evergreen huckleberries can really be easily grown at home. Evergreen huckleberry isn't as good as mountain huckleberry or the other alpine species though, as far as taste (and especially texture). They remind me of salal berries more. I think those bridges are sometimes built from nearby fallen logs, but I think most of those are helicoptered in or carried in by trail crews. I recognize that style of log bridge with railing as ones often flown in every summer to bridge some dangerous glacial creeks in some national parks like Mt Rainier. Though they have to fly those in every year to keep them from washing out every winter. I'm not sure about more permanent bridges like the one shown in the video you guys were wondering about.

When Robby asked Andrew "What happened to the reindeer"? I lost it 🤣

I worked in glacier last summer and made a full day out of this trek and Helen’s peak off of Dawson pass. An absolutely incredible trek that, even as a day hike, gives you a real feel of the rugged glacier backcountry. If I did it again, I’d do it like you guys and spend more time on this awesome trail. Such incredible scenery

Loved the waterfalls and all the spring flowers.

I’m ecstatic that you came to PNW. Lush and beautiful. Thank you!!! I enjoy your adventures and always watch when you have new uploads.

Oop

First, I am so excited that you guys get to explore Washington. There is so much more to explore as well! Second, I did the Seven Lakes Basin Loop a couple of years ago, going counter-clockwise. We couldn't book the lunch lake campsite because it filled up so fast and glad you guys were able to! Our stops were deer lake and down by the river. So the second day was a brutal summit and descent. Hope you guys make it out to more Washington locations!

As a cannabis user (with mild Asthma) I find myself still passing or walking faster/longer than all my friends 😂

Beautiful video. Your friendship combined with how well you film the scenery and wildlife makes your videos my favorite. Looking forward to your next adventure 🍄

My backyard!!! I live in Oregon. Never clicked so fast on a video in my life! As someone who has backpacked and hiked all over the Pacific NW, I can't really think of a better first backpacking trip that encapsulates so much of what this place has to offer. You get the rainforest, old growth, and the alpine mountains with all their glaciers. And fall is a fantastic time to do trips around here, where you no longer have mosquitos and flies that are present in many places here, and have all the amazing fall colors. Win win really. :) Next time you guys come around here, I'd really highly recommend Mount Rainier, North Cascades, the Enchantment Lakes, or the Three Sisters Wilderness. Some people around here say that the Enchantments are perhaps the most beautiful place on Earth. And go see them in fall when the larches turn color. Fall is also by far the best time for the North Cascades. Glacier Peak Wilderness would be best in early August for the wildflowers, Three Sisters best in early/mid September, and Mt Rainier great in early August for the wildflowers, or September/November for the fall colors. Larches can also be seen in the North Cascades east of the mountain crest and east of the North Cascades national park proper. For example, Heather-Maple Pass Loop and Cutthroat Pass. Doing the Three Sisters volcano circumnavigation is also fun too. Nice thing about it is, one can do shorter loops around just a few of the volcanoes, or do longer loops. It's a fantastic place as far as having tons of options to choose from, and the campsites are absolutely amazing. And you can also day hike up a big volcano and the third highest mountain in Oregon, South Sister (the tallest of the Three Sisters volcanoes). The Three Sisters and surrounding central Oregon region is like having Hawaii's volcanoes and lava flows right here in the contiguous US. So glad to see you guys do something over here. Love your channel and your videos!

My Olympus and the Olympics were named to honor Juan De Fuca and his beloved Greece.

Best outdoor adventure channel on the tube. Love to learn the flora and over all ecosystem. This video is of my favorite National Park in the States.

stunning scenery.

😁😁😁

What size tents? I have a 2 person copper spur and I wouldnt want to spend 15 hours in it by myself, let alone with 2 people. lol Great video!!!

Me and my friend hiked up to LaConte lodge via the Rainbow Falls trail without any snacks or eating any breakfast and I'll tell you right now, that was the best cream cheese bagel I've ever eaten in my life lol.

NICEEEEE Great way to start the day <3

I'm so happy you guys got to experience this area. I have lived in Oregon since mid 2001 from Florida. The PNW is by far the most magical camping, hiking and just exploring place ever.

Wouldn't be an AA video without some rain lol! Hopefully Robby talks about the camera used during this trip on the vlog. Best quality I've seen yet!

yo bear! Y() |3ear! YO BEAR! 🤣😂 Those bears were like, "Yo! Why you yelling at me? I don't yell at you when you're eating." 🐻🫐

I’m watching this now and I must say this is an absolute masterpiece of an episode so far. The biodiversity is INSANE! Plus I’m a huge lover of rain (being from England) and just can’t believe how cozy and perfect every thing is. Thank you guys for such an amazing video!

So awesome to see you gentlemen again! Its all been said here but...thank you for sharing. Things Pacific are near and dear to my heart...as are you! 🙏👍😎🇨🇦 (and those final breakfasts!!)😅 Stay AWESOME!!! 💝🕺🕺🕺🕺🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🍄🍄🍄🍄🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐

Thank you for finally visiting my state. I’ve been commenting on almost all your videos for the past year for you guys to. Really hope you come back and check out North Cascades & Mt. Rainier. Would be even better if you guys moved here lol.

Excellent cinematography! Well-done. You captured some beautiful shots of wild mushrooms and ferns and towering moss-covered trees.The Pacific northwest is truly a spectacular place. A unique ecosystem in the continental US.

Hi Robbie and Thomas. I love this amazing video so many different landscapes and landmarks and view. I love Seerra the dog she is wonderfully adorable.

Thank you for this video! It's always tough to decide on what hiking meals to buy when you have never tried them and then worry you will get stuck with something gross out on the trail! Can you do a video for snacks as well?

The majority of trees we have here in the Olympic Peninsula are Douglas fur and Cedar

What time of year was this trip? I assume early fall since it was posted in September but I love the weather (I've always loved thunderstorms) and would love to visit Colorado again.

That first night is why I use a hammock system. Set up the tarp and then the hammock. A little tricky if everyone is using a hammock though. Also, been a while since I’ve used one, but I used to be able to dry my tent out inside by using a candle lantern.

thanks guys

How did you bypass the no photos or vids in national parks ? The new law just passed, and you boys have been putting this stuff up on KZbin and getting paid . Hope you had your permits 😂

I live in central Kentucky and I’ve heard crazy things about LBL. I’m not too sure I’d sleep out there. Missing persons, dog man, and Bigfoot. Crazy and scary stories

My husband and I have become avid fans. We found you while looking for content to watch while we walked on a treadmill. We are 73 and 73 next month. We used to hike when we were younger and very much miss the experiences. You guys have given us the wonder and awe we felt when we could do it. Keep on taking us with you to places we never went. Love you guys!

I always enjoy watching, always stunning views.

So happy you are making videos again. The combination of the 4 of you and the amazing scenery are so good to watch ❤

I've watched so many of their videos, many of which show footage of trails I've been on in the Smokies, Glacier, Lost Coast, Sierras, etc etc. I live outside Olympic NP so it's cool seeing them hike a "local" trail.
