Camping on the Most Remote and Unforgettable Beach Trail in California - Lost Coast Trail 4K

[@bellaa8477]

I love how Thomas EXISTS for Sierra. It's very heartwarming to see him investing his soul in her well being. Sierra is an angel ❤

[@Jesuscares7680]

Yes that's what touched me most of anything .. the ocean ..I live for the ocean.. and I live for dogs.. they truly are ..man's best friend...

[@AJKPenguin]

Sierra lives for Thomas.

Fren!!!

I thought the same and hope my pups feel the same.

[@marshayame]

I couldn't help but think to myself during the past few videos "Thomas is going to make a phenomenal dad one day"! He really is the dad of the group and just expels dad energy.

[@jasonnikolic]

Totally. He's definitely the leader of the group, with any group of friends a leader is granted subconsciously and it's clearly Thomas.

[@VenturesOutside]

thomas being so mad and completely done with all of you hahaha

[@aceface3333]

This episode feels like "Adventure Archives: The Movie" to me. The shots, the light, the scenery, everything is super cinematic. Great job!

[@curiousnomadic]

Yeah it's way too much.

[@jaycotrodeld6426]

Seaira is part of the crew

[@jaycotrodeld6426]

That was cool

[@rorngsorn5272]

Love Thomas's sense of humor, uses his body as beacon. One of my favorite episodes.

[@Jesuscares7680]

I just finished it ..Sierra was the star.. she's the only one who didn't complain or get upset...Thank you Sierra..I needed the ocean and a canine with courage and stamina....

[@kazimirn.6556]

Bro dogs are shit at hiking they cant even climb a mountain in the northeast without being carried by their owners at least once.

[@CAgirrrrrrrrl]

Thomas has proven to be a good dog dad. You laughed that he packed too much dog food, but I'm sure he also had a pet first aid kit and other items for Sierra. Very glad that AA had a good hike in my home state, along one of the most beautiful coastlines.

[@muneetster]

Hey guys. Its been 2 days that i got hooked to your channel . I started off with your japan trail ..but was mesmerised by the lost coast ..i cannot believe that in a world of short videos and reels i actually saw a 1.57 hours video ... All 4 of you complete each other as mates and sierra is another level . Love from india .

[@stellashepherd3229]

Oh my god, my favorite KZbin channel, beautiful scenery, the ocean AND a Golden Retriever?! 🥰 I’m in heaven. Thank you for bringing such joy to your viewers.

[@tanjakuusikorpi8430]

love all of you! thank you! Sierra

[@kourtneyjossy4335]

I don't understand people complaining. As usual, this was a wonderful episode. Such great content and being free for all (including the complainers). Creating creative content like this takes so much time and effort. Those people should stop complaining and appreciate more of what they are being gifted. Looking forward to more of your finely crafted work! If you guys ever have a chance to, please come to Oregon. I recommend Green Lakes (though any place you go is awesome).

[@inthehouse1960]

I love the Oregon coast. I don't know about hiking trails, but there are a lot of State campsites on the beach. So, I will second that!

[@robinbutte]

Omg the ending with Bryan imitating Robby's vlog is SO on point!

[@goodmorninggilw2836]

Omg 1:16:50-it's like the classic opening group photo, but Sierra is now one of the group❤ohhhh❤️ Love me some Sierra

[@chadroberts44]

Sorry to admit this: I blew you guys off 6 years ago as having no knowledge and not worth watching when you did your video of Yellowstone. I live near Yellowstone and have spent many trips in and out of there and the surrounding areas. I've guided people in and out of there multiple times. In your video, you guys were looking at animal droppings and had no idea what animal they belonged to and talking about fire starting and the plants and animals and I was just like "holy cow these guys know nothing". Whenever your videos would pop up after that I passed them by. Finally, this one popped up and I thought, well I've never seen that area so lets see how these guys are doing now. I was pleasantly surprised and I really liked this video. Your filming is tremendous and your commentary is great. You seem to have much more knowledge and experience. You guys have a great friendship and it was enjoyable following along. Thanks for showing me this area. I may try this hike at some point and I subscribed to your channel. Thanks🙂

[@carleenwessler2155]

Love how Thomas takes care of precious Sierra❤Enjoyed watching. Please keep hiking and sharing!

[@curiousclownfish3166]

So happy that you guys were back on the west coast. This is one of the most beautiful episodes you ever created. The primitive Lost Coast trail has so many unique challenges: getting to the remote trailhead, hiking on sand/rock with heavy packs, navigating the tide schedule, pooping on the beach in the tidal zone (and starving yourselves), staying away from ticks/rattlesnakes/bears. Thank you for the extra effort to bring us this amazing video.

[@richardcliff3510]

Having hiked the Lost Coast myself, it was so exciting to see Adventure Archives apply their talent and style to one of the country's most unique hikes. Superbly narrated, wonderfully filmed to create a true masterpiece. California has SO much to offer in spectacular scenery both in the Sierras and on the coast. Please come and do more expeditions here (Kings Canyon, John Muir Wilderness, Ansel Adams wilderness to name but a few). Happy to help you with the logistics. Well done!

[@matthewdufur5489]

Perhaps I have seen you before. Kings and John Muir the Lost Coast. My son's and I did the PCT there and back. The Tahoe rim trail several times. We are from Sonora the gateway to Yosemite. The 87 mile section of PCT from Tuolumne Meadows to Sonora pass and back is likely our favorite followed by the Grand Canyon in the first week of April and then the Lost Coast in the fall. We moved to Colorado and we are working on the 456 mile Colorado Trail.

[@daranaraghi1991]

Such beautiful scenery. And that slow motion shot of Bryan and Sierra chilling together was awesome.

[@sunshinechaser]

I really liked that shot as well. The cinematography is good.

[@kasuga_sam]

Bryan's Robby vlog is spot on! I couldn't stop laughing! 🤣Thank you all for another wonderful episode!

[@ee-br2px]

I want to chuckle when I read those complaints about poor Thomas. From all the years of watching their videos, I believe that they literally grew up together as next door neighbors, and trust me, in case the very obvious has escaped your keen senses, Thomas is not, and has never been the bullied introvert. He can fend for himself very well and he is doing great. You guys have too much time on your hand and just enjoy the scenery of the majestic coast and stop commenting on things you know nothing about.

[@mariannesouza8326]

Definitely! I see him as the boss - the kind boss. He doesn’t always need to get his way. He acquiesces when he feels he should. He’s like the wise Dad of the group. 😀

[@thomasjohnson3793]

This video brings me way back to when I was 16 standing on that very Beach I'm 61 now thank you

[@randomvintagefilm273]

I love Sierra's little pink hoofies. That was a good idea because beaches can be very rough for little paws with spikey things everywhere.

[@goodmorninggilw2836]

I am at 35 minutes and I meant to say this much earlier, but I love that there is sort of a fifth cumpañero on this journey❤️🐶

[@four27eight88]

Sierra is the newest member! Love it hope she always gets extra snack and water

[@jdubble15]

A few words. I love the movie length 2 hour format. Secondly, you all are the best. Each and every one of you adds to this video. It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

If you are looking for another lengthy episode 27 minutes, not nearly as long as this one, I just uploading a hiking mini-documentary

[@SqueakyWheelMakesNoise]

My other phone died and I lost access to my KZbin account. Took me a couple months to find this channel again. My favorite group of people on KZbin. Can't wait for the next video you guys make.

[@jason_from_canada]

You guys really worked for those views! Tough on the legs with the sand and rocks (and rattlesnakes too) but consider it training for when Adventure Archives goes to the moon. 🚀🌓 Always happy when you guys can make it to the west coast. Beautiful shots and music as always and thanks to Bryan and Ellie for the birthday shoutout for Kerry. Well done guys that was an epic trip! 👏👍

[@lara423]

The bulb part of the seaweed keeps it floating, Also Sierra fits in the hiking pack like a dream.

[@ee-br2px]

Dear KNIGH: From my sharp observation, they have been teasing each other from the very beginning, and they treat one another just fine. Their long standing relationship is apparently solid enough to withstand this level of joking around, quit worrying about their level of maturity.

[@pamelatify]

My little dog Rose is fascinated watching this video. We are 37 minutes in and she is absolutely engaged in this video. She’s literally growling at the seals and chasing the seagulls. ❤ 🐕‍🦺❤

[@bichonmomr]

at 27:22 that’s actually the cockpit to the Millennium Falcon. Not burnt out lighthouse.😅. In all seriousness, thanks again for creating and sharing this amazing trip. CA is so beautiful. looking forward to your next adventure.

Andrew’s curiosity makes me so happy. I do this too! It’s nice to see other people enjoying the little bits of magic around us ☺️✌🏽

[@antnguyen]

Ever since becoming a dad back in 2020, and now a dad of two since 5 weeks ago, I've yet to have set foot on a trail... your videos sort of scratch that itch to be out on the trail. For this, I am grateful.

[@vickiwalker3486]

Your music is awesome awesome awesome!!! It really sets you guys apart that you write it and perform it yourselves!🎉

[@arlenesolis024]

This makes my third film I have started to watch from your channel, and I can’t stop. It amazing and how much fun and beautiful your adventures. I wish I could join you. My favorite thing about your trips is how you describe the plants, flowers and other beautiful natural elements. I’m still going through your playlist. Please don’t stop what you doing because it shows how beautiful and fragile our world really is. This is my favorite because it is my ultimate bucket list trip that I want to do…camping and hiking at the beach.

[@Marco-gb6mi]

The shoutouts at the end 1:48:50 definitely give off some wong kar wai / chunking express vibes and I am loving it!

[@AdventureArchives]

You got it exactly right! It was based on Chunking Express

[@Marco-gb6mi]

@@AdventureArchives Wong Kar-wai is my favorite director of all time and you guys are my favorite KZbin channel! One quote from chunking express that sticks out to me when watching your channel is "If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates? If so, I hope they last for centuries." Thank you for all the great content and cinematography.

[@carmelahearle957]

I loved this video! I felt like you invited me on this trip with you while I peeled six gallons of peaches to freeze. I loved how curious and observant you all are and showing me what you saw and found! I am just the same way when I go on adventures. So pleasant music, laughing, etc while I did the best peach harvest ever. Thankyou

[@inthehouse1960]

In honor of the living metaphor, Andrew, I started a drinking game. Every time Andrew says "I feel like..." I take a drink...however, I'm getting pretty tipsy...so maybe I'll change the rules and take a drink every time Thomas smiles. That way I'll stay sober. lol. I'm loving your content, especially now that Matthew Posa is taking a break. Also, Shelter Cove is one of my favorite places on earth. I can't hike the lost coast because of my arthritis, so I really appreciated you taking us along - this was such a well-documented trek that I felt like I was there. Thanks so much.

[@Ahdumkun]

Bryan acting as Robbie was gold

[@expectrecovery]

Thank you so much for making my Saturday morning PERFECT! Watching it was a way to live my personal truth vicariously. I had a golden lab for 14 yrs. Chester was the love of my life. He weighed 106 and carrying him on a hike would have been hilarious! You are the best dog dad EVER!!! ❤

[@TheRyanVillareal]

Man, right when I feel like I've seen everything in California. I live in socal and didn't know about the lost coast. Time to start planning a trip. Thanks, AA crew lol

[@SeanMurphy00]

You’re one of my favorite adventure channels. You all bring something unique both in personality and knowledge yet you never come across as pretentious and I feel like all of your hikes/adventures-while challenging at times- are accessible to the average hiker/backpacker. Great cinematography too. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@conniewojahn6445]

I was looking for a movie to watch and came across this video. It's every bit as interesting and compelling as a good movie, and won't leave me with nightmares. Thank you.

[@sharondavis8003]

5 Star ⭐️ video, AA. Love the sunset over the hypnotic sea . Being an East coast person I didn’t realize all the things you encountered were found by the ocean. Breathtaking views! Shout out to Bryan who did a perfect Robby imitation. Until next time. 🙋🏼‍♀️👍🏻❤️😎

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much!!

[@tdrake59]

We hiked this trail in June 2022. We camped at Big Creek the second night and Gitchell Creek on the third and final night. We ran into four rattlesnakes in that grassy area below Randall Creek. Thanks for making this video. It really brings back fantastic memories.

[@alant.541]

That was an amazing hike filled with beautiful coastal scenery. It looked grueling, as well. Sierra's definitely man's best friend. Actually, Thomas is a dog's best friend. 🐕

[@davidbladen5667]

Great hike guys!!! Thanks so much for the views.... I just finished watching Catherine Gregory and her friend Joey hiking this trail from south to north. Their trip was overcast and foggy for the most part. It was good to watch your video and enjoy this hike from another viewpoint.. Stay safe out there.........

[@DavisInDuval]

Guys, thanks for always being such a relaxing, fun place to visit on the internet. I've been watching your videos for so many years now. Not enough of the internet celebrates the amazing beauty we have right here in the USA.

[@karenfall8678]

At the end of your hike video’s I love what is said about what you got out of the experience and the affirmations. I especially loved at the end what Brian spoke of the first Pictured Rocks hike in the UP Michigan and the Smoky Mountain hike. All of your hiking experiences in each video have a meaningful affirmation. A compilation of the affirmations stated at the end of many of your video’s with photos would be a lovely glossy hardcover coffee table book.

[@Elitania]

If it wasn't for this video I don't think I would have ever seen the Lost Coast trail (and I live in Cali). Thank you for taking us on this adventure, for those of us who can't physically do it. I love every bit of this video, especially when Sierra was in the clip. I love how caring Thomas is with her! Awesome dog dad! Great video guys, keep up the good work! More videos with Sierra, please!

[@ibcontent]

Going here in April ( reserved, but I'm 69.) Plan to do part of it then turn back. 4 days, this is the best I have seen of the area. Ya'll be awesome! Thank you!

[@karenspangler8067]

I hope the four of you keep doing these hikes. This was wonderful!

[@rickwang7383]

hahaha I laughed so hard when Thomas responded with such incredulity! Totally understand that in the moment emotions come up & I think you all have such great chemistry to know where the borders are with each other ("I'm not going to argue with you guys"). Personally I relate on many fronts with Thomas, especially the part about enjoying time alone and away from friends after being socialized out. It's refreshing to see such relatable raw emotion on the internet, something I think doesn't get shown enough. Another incredible episode - this series is probably my favorite so far.

[@jessicajae7777]

well said. I was thinking the same thing. this is the first video of theirs I've seen and I appreciated the friendship and content and am going to check out more. During the hike i thought they were calling him Andrew the whole time then at the end he said his name was Douglas. Am I wrong?

[@kizuneko]

@@jessicajae7777 That's just a little skit at the end, they always do those, his name IS Andrew!

A beautiful episode with Sierra! She is a very faithful dog and Thomas really cares for her.

Thomas is a very strong and determined hiker which is very admirable. He sometimes find it hard to RELAX!

[@finalhurrah6406]

I live about half way from Shelter Cove and the mouth of the Mattole where you guys started your LCT. That road is no joke! I used to shuttle hikers from the Black Sands point in Shelter Cove to the north end of the trail, which is a great option if you don't want to make that drive yourselves and have the funds. Lost Coast Adventures is a great outfit located in Shelter Cove that can provide those services. Thanks for showcasing an amazing slice of N. California and our wonderful community. (P.S. -Never don't stop at the Peg House!)

[@pnonem666]

Hey guys, love your content, but personally, I miss the videos where you guys talked a lot about the food and made elaborate camping dishes. I don't know if this is the general consensus among your fans, but it would be cool to see those again. Fun stuff :) edit: Also, the BG music on this episode was NUTS. So good! It's always spectacular but the tracks on this one were a step above

[@AndrewLinArchives]

Don't worry, I plan on doing a lot more of that in the fall, when we can take it a bit easier with the hiking and have more campfires

[@rickball3147]

One of my favorite hikes in CA. Brought back so many memories. If you folks ever come this way again, do the southern half. The Sinkyone Wilderness. It is south of Shelter Cove to Usal Beach. It is as varied terrain as the Lost Coast, but so very different. Up and down 2500 feet coastal ranges and camping a private sand beaches where the creeks run out to the ocean. Each turn is a different eco-system. Redwood forests one minute, then pampas grass jungles the next. The wildlife is as diverse as the landscape. Elk, Bear, Otter, Porpoises, Seals, Pelicans, Deer. You will see it all. And you will sleep so soundly on the sand with the ocean in your ears.

[@cynthiasmith4966]
