Manistee River in 4K | Hammock Camping and Hiking Manistee River Trail in Michigan

[@iMatthewWilliams]

I loved the scene of the dog climbing into the tent with Nicole!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Matt Williams me too! He’s a big ole baby!!!

[@timlawson4314]

Glad to see Nicole back, to bad she wasn't feeling well. Great video, even though it was cut short.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Tim Lawson thank you! I’m much better now!!!! I can’t wait to go on another trip!!

[@ZiggiWillpower]

I love these videos where you go to a little less ”spectacular” places, so relaxing and nice to watch and reminds me of the places I go to myself when I go for day hikes in my area ☺️

[@nickhpr]

I love that you do so many trails in the midwest! Especially in Michigan :)

[@ah1563]

Ahhh, so relaxing. It's so weird how when you watch so many videos of people online and you begin to feel like you know them so well, even when you've never met them in person! That's how I always feel about you guys! :) And it was good to see Nicole back!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Adrienne Haught it was good to be back!!

[@idiotbox37]

Places like that are like comfort food. it might not be the best thing you've tasted but it still makes you feel good. Welcome back Nicole!

[@ISashaI]

Not all trips go as planned, sometimes you have to cut them short and this is a reality. Even though they may not go your way, still makes for just as a memorable time. Thanks for uploading this.

[@chinoodin4735]

Michigan woods are like that, something familiar, a bit enchanting. Always enjoy the moment...thanks for letting us tag along.

[@esthers5876]

That was a beautifully relaxing video! Great to see Nicole, and hope you feel better. The sight of your dog climbing into your tent warmed my heart.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Esther Sugai yeah, he’s my baby! I’m feeling much better, thank you!

[@CAgirrrrrrrrl]

Yay, Nicole is back! Too bad she wasn't feeling well. Thanks for the short and sweet trip.

[@NUNYABZWX]

feel better Nicole. wonderful to see a video with Andrew. please do more i want to get to know him better.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

thevkstr thank you!!

[@carolczina9235]

Yeah, Nicole returns with her dog! Excellent. So enjoyable to watch a relaxed trip. Beautiful footage of the scenery. I most enjoy the descriptions of what you all eat. Creative and yummy. Sorry it had to end early. That dog is adorable....let's see him again.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Carol Czina yes, Caesar is my favorite! He’s a great trail dog.. but quite oblivious..... he let me come far too close to too many danger noodles (snakes)

[@Lanaaiify]

Yes Nicole! Glad to see you back! Also, thank you for bringing the much needed adventure dog to AA. Looks like some great views and camping. Sorry yall had to cut the fun short.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Today_Lanette thank you! It was good to be out again.... school has been kicking my butt and keeping me from adventuring far too long!!!

[@Lanaaiify]

Hope you're able to get another adventure fix in soon to make up for the sickness!

[@joelprange3498]

We did a similar route last year, starting at the Red Bridge trail head. It was our first backpacking try. We decided to give this sport a try at 59 years old. My wife was also recovering from a bug so we just spent the night. We had a good time and plan on going back to the MRT and more.

[@cathurhnurhn]

YESSS Nicole and doggo?? what more could I ask for

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

catwinwins lol.. I would agree.. though I would have preferred a longer trip ;)

[@quantumspirit2933]

Your music is my kind of music and I get to your adventures with it. I love you guys!❤️🌿❤️🌿❤️

[@jordanhoward10]

Nice video bryan! Cool to see you doing your thing. Look forward to more.

[@jason_from_canada]

Great job on the video Bryan! So good to see Nicole again and her dog was so cute!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Jason Bourgeois thank you :)

[@MsSnipedown831]

You guys are amazing! It feels like I’m with you guys when I watch these videos! Thank you for filming your trips, they make me happy and motivated me to go on my first backpacking trip! Best channel on KZbin❤️

[@serena_davis]

Loved seeing Nicole again! Sorry she wasn’t feeling well. Great idea for the DIY salt and pepper shaker. (It occurred to me that a contact lens case could work too. 😊) The pork wool sushi ball looked delicious! Glad to see a Bryan and Nicole short video. Enjoyed the chill and peaceful vibes. 👍

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Serena Davis thank you! I’m feeling well again! :)

[@goodmorninggilw2836]

Barely beginning, but it is so beautiful. Doggy is a magical touch

[@alexanderweaver9182]

Short but wonderful video, Brian ! Great to see Nicole again; with furry friend...beautiful dog. What a beautiful scenic meandering river and trail!

[@smetlogik]

That dog! 🐕 Trips never seem to go as planned which is part of the lure of going. Looks like a great place to hang.

[@dorothyogues9150]

Awww, Bryan is so cute! ^ ^ thanks for taking us along to your short and nice trip. :)

[@OutdoorSerenity77]

Loved the trip Bryan. Glad to see Nicole back out there, hope she is feeling better. Thanks for the video guys. Stay safe and good adventures.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Outdoor Serenity feeling so much better! Thank you :)

[@healthyhiker5140]

Loved the intro and Salt/Pepper shaker, great Job Bryan

[@Goodnessgraciius]

Great job Bryan and Nicole! We really enjoyed the episode.

[@rickminer7528]

Nicely done, Brian. Short but sweet. Thanks for a cool supper idea, too.

[@TheJourneyest2016]

Gorgeous scenery and really well edited as always guys. Keep up the good work. This hike looks like a place I could really enjoy

[@rudysrefuge9033]

Wild brookies with wild leeks and some fiddlehead ferns now your talkin a delicious breakfast. Awesome adventure! Thank you for sharing!

[@mikeghost7788]

Minute 2:30 was just above where I camped 2 weeks ago. Such beauty.

[@mowaby]

I stayed in my hammock at 3b a few weeks ago. I was back off the ledge/river. It was my 1st time backpacking. I got water from the river down the hill. I started at seaton creek campground and only hiked in to 3b then back out the next day.

[@NJHeart2Heart]

Nice to see Brian and Nicole out. Sorry it was short, but you are amazing- you made the most of it and still managed to share a lovely video!

[@hikingadventures1017]

Great video, really enjoyed it!! Hope you guys can go back & be able to do a longer version! Great to see Nicole! Sorry she wasn't feeling well. Hope all is well. Her pup is cute!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

hiking adventures101 thank you! And I am feeling awesome now! He is my babeeee ❤️

[@DeehocAirbmac]

That place is awesome. Me and my buddies did the 23 mile loop there last October. Absolutely beautiful.

[@hikersteph]

Aaron Barnes I did it last October too! :)

[@BossJesse101]

Thanks for this relaxing video and that brilliant pepper salt shaker, I will definitely make one for my own.

[@paulmcpherson2564]

The sushi ball hack is genius! I'mtrying that on my next AT trip. You rock man.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! Enjoy, it's definitely nice on the trail :)

[@mrdave22]

more trips like this with brian and nicole. thumbs up

[@FieryStudios1]

Welcome back to Michigan! Stop by again soon!

[@southernappalachianrecon]

That salt and pepper shaker was so cool, I'm gonna make one of those now for my spices!

[@nibimocs]

Very well filmed and edited as usual. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheOtterOutdoorsman]

It's always a good decision to leave when your not feeling well. I once went into the woods after a few days of not feeling well (and thought I was better), woke up the next morning in excruciating pain. turned out to be a double ear infection. We hiked out best we could. I've been sick out in the woods a few times. Not fun. Hope you folks at least still got to enjoy it though!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

The Otter Outdoorsman more than anything..... I feel bad for the trees 🤮😢

[@TheOtterOutdoorsman]

I mean, at least they get fed. :P

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

lol.. grossssssss

[@deweyhiller]

Did the whole loop yesterday was a perfect day Thanks for sharing your stuff is always so good!

[@turboman657]

Love the acoustic guitar in the background!

[@rudyo8409]

Very beautiful and really enjoyable video. Thank you'

[@meganjano]

Great video! I grew up in the Manistee area - you guys should come back during the fall. Much more spectacular views overlooking the Manistee River.

[@loin897]

my 9 yr old son would love those sushi rolls/balls! Thank you for making that on the trail!!

[@rabbitdadthings]

Checking this video out as I may do the manistee river/NCT loop in spring. Two minutes into the video and those flies swarming the camera have me double guessing my decision. Haha.

[@danielgolite]

Great job on the video Bryan!

[@NateBuker]

Nice time of year to be there! Yum--Ramps! I did my first ever backpacking trip there. Nice to see it again.

[@adventuresoffrostbeard4955]

Well done. I especially liked the hammock shot!

[@ntmetroid]

A michigan resident looking to get into backpacking next year. Hoping to do both this and North Manistea Islans next year!

[@genesisSOC]

Those shots from the hammock look so peaceful haha. I'd love to try that some day.

[@CarloArcenal]

Great job, Bryan. Too bad Nicole was under the weather. It was a wise decision to cut the trip short in light of her condition. I hope you guys revisit the place though; the landscape speaks for itself.

[@AdventureArchives]

Definitely will be going back to do a full episode there and hopefully get in some canoeing!

[@jerwel86]

Have a cabin on Hodenpyl Dam Lake in Mesick! In my opinion, one of the most serene and fresh lakes in the state of michigan.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

HOPE NICOLE / ? / IS FEELING A LOT BETTER THAN ON THE TRIP! BE SAFE HAVE FUN! GOD BLESS YOU ON YOUR JOURNEYS!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

David Stillman feeling sooo much better, thank you!!! That virus was nearly the death of me.. and probably the death of many trees on the trail ;)

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Great watch. I like the salt and pepper shaker.

[@lelandpeck4585]

very enjoyable if even a short trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@sallylouise9826]

Such a lovely little area ; sorry Nicole was not well . But short and sweet . Good job !👍🏻

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Sally Louise much better now! Thank you!!

[@loganclark8880]

glad to see you guys coming back to MI. You should do Isle Royale (which I'm sure you've heard all about) or Porcuipine Mtns next time you come up

[@ankh428]

That salt/pepper shaker is the sh. Brian you genious

[@CazualTim]

That loop was my sustaining interstitial between young days and AA kicking me back into shape - sorry to have missed your quick visit! Really enjoyed the different (isolated from full AA eps) cinematographic perspective. Sorry about the stomach bug, but I agree in general in situations where the line is so thin: why be brash when you can be safe?

[@jjfjeff]

Nice short trip. Nicole's back.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

jjfjeff never gone for long ;) just being held hostage at school lol

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Very nice Hike

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

GARYSGUNS good to be back!

[@MrFloris]

Thanks for sharing!

[@yewtreeknives5834]

Nice vid, hope Nicole is feeling better, good remedy is "Swedish Herbs/bitters"...can cure a lot of things!!! What is the ras of that nice dog? Kind regards from the Belgian Ardennes, Yves.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Yew Tree Knives I am feeling soooo much better! Thank you :)

[@craiglambert9515]

Love hammocks. Ya may want to look at your angle, at 30 degrees they tend to be more comfortable and easier on trees.

[@AdventureArchives]

I'll have to try that with my Hennessy, their video shows them setting it up taut, so I assumed that was the only way their hammocks could be set up. I'll hafta test it out. ~Bry

[@JapanScott1]

Hope you're feeling better, Nicole.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Scott Koenig thank you! I’m feeling in tip-top shape now!!!

[@NicoleKrawczyk]

Nicole's back! :) Man, i feel her with that stomach bug. Lovely trip, though.

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

mikron trust me, I am all better now! But it was the death of me for sure!

[@JTPIERCEF]

Great Hike

[@carolklesner5684]

Nice job Bryan!

[@scottymickel]

I loved this video.

[@joycec8]

Yooooo, that salt and pepper shaker!!! ♡♡♡♡

[@anonanon5843]

Good idea on the salt and pepper shaker. Also at 7:26 that's what he said.

[@uptrail7169]

Very Good! I've been looking forward to watching this video. Leaving early gives you another reason to come back. I think we went to the MRT a few days after you went. It's a very beautiful area. I'll have to meet up with you again someday.

[@AdventureArchives]

Definitely! We'll be planning a full trip here one day with canoing too! We can talk about meeting up again when that happens! ~Bry

[@rachellsn1791]

i love nicole!! omg bryan made sushi tacos, you guys are always taking food on the trail to the next level lol

[@chriscunningham9240]

This was such a cool video and I love Nicole dog.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! Dogs are always good hiking companions :) Thanks for watching!

[@TAPPChannel]

Beautiful videos guys... Have you ever been or planning to go to Apostle Islands WI??? Maybe We can meet you there soon :) Cheers

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS A LOT OF BUGS FLYING AROUND IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO! AWESOME VIEWS & VIDEO!

[@CazualTim]

"Welcome to Michigan."

[@arjunski]

Can you climb Mount Shasta and Mount Rainier eventually?

[@jamesodwyer5219]

Very cool vid, goes to show you don't have to hunt or fish to to enjoy the outdoors.. thanks..

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks for watching! Very true :)

[@lulamarie6218]

The bugs look a little brutal at times. Loved seeing Nicole , y’all need to take her more often.

[@AdventureArchives]

Bugs were pretty intense at certain portions, but as long as you kept moving it wasn't a problem. Fortunately the campsites seemed to not have any crazy bug issues either. I would recommend going early spring or late autumn to avoid the bugs :) ~Bry

[@deVrieco]

Great trail, and video, but how heavy were those packs?!

[@waleed149]

Safety first👍,, hope you ll go back to the same trail

[@craiglambert9515]

A good book on Hammocks is "The Ultimate Hang" or watch Shug Emery on KZbin

[@Gnomesmusher]

I can't believe you didn't introduce the dog!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

Gnomesmusher that would be Caesar.. aka Caesar Augustus.. aka Caesar Salad.. aka Cheezer.. aka Mr. Cheese, Mr. Peppers, Peppers, Peps...... he goes by many names ;) but ultimately.. he’s my babyyy 😍❤️🐶

[@Gnomesmusher]

Heyy Nicole. He's a good dog!

[@DementedCTR]

Hey Andrew, I’m trying to look for the video that you did about your sleeping pad and I can’t find it. Can you let me know the title or the link thanks!!

[@robinsavard84]

What an awesome dog Nicole has! But you didn’t introduce him!

[@dianesmigelski5804]

I enjoyed your video! Could you please tell me what the name of the pork you were eating? That would be a wonderful trail snack. Especially the saltiness taste without having to add more. Keeping up your electrolytes. I liked the S&P holder too!

[@kristyandpatronus7718]

Your "trail sushi" looks like a phenomenal idea! Now I just need to figure out a convenient way to make a vegetarian version without getting laughed off the trail for packing something like cucumber and avocado... Also, your dog seems awesome.

[@rylanbytnar6713]

That place is only about 1.5 hours out from my college, I'll be sure to hike out there this Fall! Right now, I live about an hour west of Chicago and was wondering if you guys and anyone else in the comment section have any recommendations for trails in the Midwest area :)

[@firemanscan]

Tried several replays, but want picking up the word... At 6:58, the pork product, was it pork "wool"? And where is it typically available please? And thanks, love the channel!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

firemanscan yes, it’s called pork wool.. Bryan however has the knowledge of where you can buy it.

[@firemanscan]

Thank you!

[@Timanator]

Got a trail chef here :)

[@DaSalsaNBachataHo]

Patent that design, Brian!!!

[@TXMEDRGR]

Cool dog.

[@machellelee6043]

What did you call that pork topping on rice and seaweed?

[@kdavis4910]

Yeah, Nicole didn't seem like her normally happy energetic self this episode.

[@neilpare8938]

Heading up there in the fall, any recommendations for where to park and hike in? I've never been there so I'm pretty excited

[@AdventureArchives]

Around what time will you be heading up? Depending on when you go the bridge will be fixed. Nevertheless, the east side of the Manistee River is really beautiful and pretty much always by the River.

[@neilpare8938]

We will be going up around late August, early September. I was talking to someone last night about it and they also said the East side is beautiful, so I think that's where we're gonna go.. Thank you for the help.... cheers.

[@bung-a-lowkillinit6454]

Check out copper harbor

[@39camper]

Uptrail71 and I did this in May. When did you two go? We would have did the Loop, but the bridge was out.

[@uptrail7169]

I think they went a few days before us. I was in the middle of planning our trip when he asked for some info about the area.

[@AdventureArchives]

Yep this is true, this was the only weekend Nicole had available, which is why she insisted on going despite not being 100% sure she had recovered from her stomach bug :( ~Bry
