Solo Camping on the Potawatomi Trail

[@nixknows]

Robbie casually droppin' he's married. Congrats man!

[@jackiesmith1325]

Ikr 😂

[@IEDProductionsI]

Not the first time it was mentioned, are you saying you don't watch all AA content?

[@jasonnikolic]

​@@IEDProductionsI Not everyone pays attention to every moment, they're normal humans that don't need worshiping every detail.

[@IEDProductionsI]

@@jasonnikolic You took my comment so serious...

[@nixknows]

@@IEDProductionsI naw I actually do watch all AA content. I'll come back with a timestamp from the other video brb just need to rewatch all 309 videos.

[@Nightfall69]

It's fantastic that your wife supports your passions for life's joys and doesn't get jealous of them. Congrats on finding that gem!

[@deborahanderson5508]

I could watch Robbie get excited about food the whole video. So funny.

[@claramullen]

Robby congratulations on your marriage may you have many happy and healthy years together ❤.

[@MikeSenger]

Congratulations on your marriage! When will you introduce us to the bride? Wishing you many years of happiness!

[@bwildman1818]

No disrespect to the rest of the crew, but I really enjoy your solo hikes. Very relaxing and entertaining.

[@stavio12]

Robbie solo hike, awesome. I'll never forget the 40 miles on the Timberline trail, that's the video that got me to subscribe and I didn't even know that were 3 more of you till I binge watched the rest of the videos.🤣🤣

[@MattHadder]

The Adventure Archives guys are seriously underrated in everything they do on KZbin.

[@NewSparky97]

Same here!

[@iamdew]

IMHO Robbie's solo hiking in Timberline was one of the best AA vids.

[@twilight_2024]

Same with me!! That’s how I started watching. Didn’t realize there were 3 more and binge watched! Been hooked ever since

[@casimon41]

I share the same experience but with the 26 miles in West Virginia video - Adventure Archives has been my favorite channel ever since!

[@amelie3265]

Wife’s definitely not letting Robbie go hungry- look at those well planned healthy snacks! She’s a keeper!

[@jason_from_canada]

A Robby solo hike is always an knee slapping good time! Quaradillas begone with your wife's culinary skills Robby! 👍 The music was so on point! 🎶

[@champagneben]

the most positive personality on KZbin

[@bethanydueweke7492]

This is 15 minutes from my house, it feels like I just missed a celebrity encounter! You guys are Taylor Swift level celeb status in my world. 😁

[@candice7513]

The Potawatomi Trail was the first backpacking trip I ever did! I went about 3 months after discovering backpacking from Adventure Archives!

[@fireflysummer9214]

Congrats! I was sitting here thinking there’s no way you completely transformed your food choices in one trip like that. Should have recognized the wifey love. Congratulations and best wishes for you both.

[@KREPTiiK_]

Your little bloopers always make the videos you make better, Robby. That’s one of the reasons I love your vlogs so much!

[@pbw1]

The "yo bike" + chuckle 😂 got ME chuckling...until you came for my bag addiction. How dare you, I need them!

[@AQUPAS]

Congratulations on your recent marriage Robbie! My family and I are absolutely loving your content. These solo hikes are just as fun and interesting as having Andrew, Bryan and Thomas! Stay safe.

[@ChocolateMilkLOL]

Robbie solo hike videos are such a vibe! Truly The quaradilla redemption trip

[@littlenicky71]

Congratulations on your nuptial Robby. Get all your solo hikes in while you still can haha

[@Wearespurstv]

Unless your a cuckhold you can go after marriage. It's sad men are trained in today's society you have to do everything your wife wants and that you have to give up everything you enjoy doing.

[@arthurgphotography]

Just wait till kids lol

[@PyroZombi19]

​@@arthurgphotographyreason 4,721 my wife and I aren't having kids. Lol Less backpacking? Paaaass. 😂

[@FoxtrotYouniform]

Robby: takes a bite Robby's arms: 🌪

[@KREPTiiK_]

😂😂

[@sueandton38]

Amazing ambient sounds: strange bird calls, wind rushing through the trees, babbling brooks, rain. Lots of on the trail shots and…who doesn’t have a big smile from watching Robby enjoy his food! His wife’s meal looked delicious.

[@iamdew]

As soon as I saw Kopiko I called my wife and told her about it. Great to see a drink that I familiar with to drink by someone thousands miles from where I live.. And congrats on your wedding.

[@busydadscooking001]

i like the back and forth when you guys are together, but i really like the informality of your solo hikes. And they're usually more approachable types of nature walks.

[@milesandhikes]

WOW congrats on your marriage Robbie!! hope she loves the outdoors as much as you (and the rest of the gang do) and maybe you'll bring her to one of your hikes/camping adventures? Beautiful video!

[@_GntlStone_]

There's nothing better than an Entenmann's coffee cake fresh from the bakery outlet. It was about 2 miles from my highschool and was the smell of my schoolday mornings.

[@cynthiasmith4966]

Love your solo hikes, Robbie! Ha! Entenaman's coffee cake is a sign of a married man! Congratulations! But do miss you all- Andrew, Brian & Tom!

[@jackiesmith1325]

I love to watch all the guys but Robbie makes me laugh. He is so natural with his excitement of everything. Congratulations Robbie! 🎉 Because the Adventure travels and music is so calming, I put it on at night before I go to bed. Love these guys.

[@jeffandphoebe]

My home turf! I run this trail all the time. Camped at Blind Lake at the end of April.

[@dustyc324]

nice little trail, really. for southern lower p it's the best IMO

[@johnfinfin]

The new song at 44:27 is amazing! Well done!

[@aceface3333]

Great video! I love a Robby solo hike. Poor Andrew is going to be hearing "very good friend" until the end of time.

[@monicatong5448]

Congratulations on your marriage! Bring her on a future easy hike that is an overnighted. If she isn’t into backpacking, let her hike with a daypack and she can carry the snacks!

[@Rgrrgr175]

Some games have loot monsters, she can be the snack monster.

[@deborahmontenegro6259]

Congratulations on your marriage 😊. So happy for you. Have a wonderful life together ❤️

[@trtlduv07]

YAY brand new Robby solo hike! Always love these! So peaceful!!! HUGE congrats to Robby! 🎊🎉🎊

[@carolorsborn1244]

Robby Ian in my 70s and you really crack me up it's a good thing you are into hiking as to wear off your joy with food by the way congrats to both of you hope to see mañy more hikes with all of you guys

[@cyndih4720]

Best jazzy music this episode! So appropriate for you. Haha! Love that you got married and hope to see her on a future hike if she is so inclined. Happy for ya!

[@busydadscooking001]

Robby, the type of guy who makes huddling under a yurt eating beef jerky look exciting :D

[@Bluegrassprincess]

Love the jazzy upbeat guy in the Fidora eating deli Sammy's and tuna! Glad you stayed dry and what fun when you enjoy your own company enough To fly solo! That is a secure young man ! Blessings Robbie!

[@pamb.7753]

Have to admit that Dinty Moore was a favorite of mine when family camping but we used instant potatoes. The kids loved it as did we. You have been circling around where I live and on many of the trails I have traversed. Kept seeing many places I have been too. When someone loses something they may come back looking for it that is why I don't remove objects but leave. Just my opinion. People who live here probably walk the same trails often and when losing something can go back and look for it. Glad you like the area. What is not to like, right? Glad you liked our piece of Heaven in Hell. Cheers.

[@raminarebugio4972]

Congratulations on your marriage. Wishing you the all best! Love all your videos, but what I enjoy the most is when you get excited over the snacks and morning coffee! Let’s see more snacks and easy meals on the next video ☺️.

[@patrickshaw411]

Love how on this solo hike, Robbie is very excited for all the food he brought.

[@stevenpiper970]

Great episode. I think people have misconceptions of Michigan, just what they see of Detroit. It’s nice you’re showing them the beauty of the state.

[@dustyc324]

Detroit is fantastic. It's already great and still getting better. Michigan is the best state. All the seasons, all the Fresh water, Cities, rural, desolate. We truly have everything. Also, Love Detroit! We love you back!

[@baldmi3603]

I hiked this trail last year. I was impressed at how well the trail is maintained. I stopped by Pinckney Diner on the way home. For a small diner I was expecting the usual decent burger and fry food. I was wrong. Great menu selection and the food was way above par. If you are heading that way I highly recommend it.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

As much as I enjoy your original music tracks, you also clearly have a nack for great track selection for your solo adventures and your blogs. Great stuff, my friend! Really enjoy these productions!

[@indirac.4010]

Congratulations in your new life Robby! Enjoy the journey with you. Great video, very relaxing. Thanks for helpin to keep the trail clean...

[@the_christopher]

Robby, my man, you reaching towards that low wire got an actual verbal "holy sh!#" from me as I lurched forward. Thomas ain't out there to actually keep you from getting yourself killed, haha. Stay safe

[@lets.go.places2gether]

That dance at the Shortcut sign while eating a tuna sandwich was pretty good!

[@metaforically]

Robbie solo videos are my favorite! ❤

[@user-dr2js7bv2i]

I enjoyed this video. Im from MI, but now in AZ. It's nice to see the pretty areas I have never visited before. Blessings to you and your new wife, Robby!

[@barb61]

I appreciate your excitement at every food opportunity and at every bench 😊

[@mindiwilhelm4322]

Congratulations! Trench coat and Dinty Moore. Fantastic 😊

[@Breaults]

Congratulations!!! Many happy and healthy years for you both.

[@evanbingham8]

Great tunes! Got that 70s soul vibe going on

[@Charliegirl8645]

Had a wee chuckle at the bike guy saying that you missed the best photo ever.....ME!!!😂😂

[@williambeck6364]

EXCELLENT ROBBY! I enjoyed taking this hike with you.😁

[@reyl6152]

Wonderful video as always! This trail looks beautiful and makes me want to go out and hike it myself some day. Also congratulations on your marriage!! All the best wishes

[@PerfectAmbiguity]

I lived in Michigan for almost 30 years. This was my favorite hike/region in the lower peninsula. Blind lake, crooked lake and green lake campgrounds were my favorites for their serenity and greenery.

[@edwinmonster90]

Awesome hike Robbie, loved the relaxed atmosphere and stunning scenery. Footage of the birds was great!

[@goodguysgunsllc9369]

Man, I'd just like to say I love watching you all hike my local trails. I moved up here from downstate after a family vacation showed me the beauty that is northern Michigan! I just found your channel, and I'm hooked! Seeing specific trees on the trail that I know and land markers just makes me giddy. You have also done several in Tennessee I've done! Love it guys! Please keep it up! I tell everyone to unplug and get outdoors. Your doing a great thing. Unfortunately, I have had to have a couple foot surgeries and I need at least 1 more. But you better believe I'll be back out there as soon as I can! I feel myself getting fat in this house and I'm definitely stir crazy. Thanks again

[@johnposten9481]

This is about 15 minutes from my house. Love to see it! I hike here at least once a week.

[@st2778]

Your enthusiastic personality is engaging! We all need to be around people like him in our lives

[@donnacollier2942]

Thank you for sharing your adventures. I discovered you guys recently. You have been doing this for 10 years…I have some catching up to do! I appreciate you✌️

[@lesliecarpenter869]

So great to see you out there hiking andddd CONGRADULATIONS🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JimDoubleYa]

We used to live near the Pinckney and Waterloo State Rec Areas. They're a hidden gem! I sure do miss the outdoors of Michigan. I live in the South now and, while beautiful in its own way, it's just not the same.

[@teresap.5991]

Congrats Robbie on your marriage ❤🎉🎉🎉. Great hike! We loved the UP. Went to so many waterfalls and then Pictured Rocks boat tour. Just gorgeous 😍

[@marshayame]

I always love Robby’s reaction to food, he is almost always so psyched!

[@deborahflello2316]

Lovely hike and huge congratulations on your marriage Robbie. Please may we see a picture of your bride sometime?

[@GuntherSchmidl]

"Delicatessen" is from the German (or Yiddish, I'm sure) for Delicacies. And the brown coffee is called that because of the creamer (i.e., not black).

[@jeffkelley4055]

I run this trail all the time. So cool to see you did it!

[@steve8421]

I had a lot of fun tagging along. Outtakes are a nice touch.

[@jackiebricker4117]

Congratulations Robbie to you and your bride. 🎉 I love watching all of the adventures all of you have. You were right that is a quote from Albert Einstein.

[@jb0258jr]

The jazz in this was such a nice move, music choice wise. It really hit hard for some reason. Edit: that Zelda trench coat is awesome

[@janicehesse2740]

I loved this video! I live about 30 min from there and look forward to checking it out. Also love the music! You do such a nice job on production. Congrats on your marriage!

[@andymytys]

You were hiking in the Pinckney State Recreation Area. Adjacent to the west is the Waterloo State Recreation Area. There’s a trail that goes from the west end of one to the east end of the other - the Waterloo-Pinckney Trail. That mile marker 30 is for that trail. Total distance is around 37-38 miles. The markers are short. It’s a wonderful trail. Camping at 10.5 miles (Pines), 22.5 (Green Lake), and 30 (Blind Lake).

[@RyanKimba]

Right near where I live in Michigan, Robby! Glad to know you were close by. Have an epic weekend 😊 A pretty cool trail to explore, indeed

[@bethanydueweke7492]

I live near there as well. 😊

[@KyronCunninglinguist]

As someone who live in ohio like robby and wants to do more MI camping how bad is DNR up there? Ive hear some horror stories...and got a ticket myself when i tried to carcamp at Warren Dunes State Park

[@RyanKimba]

​@KyronCunninglinguist I have received a ticket as well in South Haven. Michigan can be pretty bad with that unfortunately. A few people ruin it for everyone else

[@dustyc324]

Only issue Ive ever had was friends jumping off a rail bridge into a river on a canoe trip. rightfully so? people get hurt there. every other encounter, im not breaking the law, and have a fishing license or hunting tag. DNR while hiking always just waves and keeps it moving. ​@KyronCunninglinguist

[@squttnbear]

Glad to see you get excited about the Tuna Creations. Those are a staple on every trip I take. They have so many good flavors. Lemon Pepper might be my favorite, but that's a hard choice. Aldi usually has them for less than $1 a pack.

[@chemdah]

Congratulations on your marriage! May you and your wife have many happy years together!

[@rosesmith6208]

sandhill cranes I finally got to see them fly over my house two years in a row they did not this year, love the trilliums and spring beauty? robby is on a roll, are you ever going to redo the ice age trail? congrates on your marriage, hope it goes well we have been married 34 years and at first it was rough but you get to know each other and adjust. couldnt you have gone for the post hike meal and come back to camp? possibly when you eat a meal your blood sugar drops a bit even tho you just ate, the sweetness of something helps to quickly bring it up, i used to get that way after a meal I dont get them anymore since when I did keto over 2 years ago it broke alot of my bad habits that I tried and tried to break and since then losing some weight too, my need for a post meal pick me up has vanished for the most part, of course if I were hiking alot of miles and carrying weight it would probably be a bit different.

[@rusuethitayaba7458]

Love this alone with Robbie episode! ❤😊

[@lisam7036]

Robby great solo hike video. Love how much you enjoy your food. Congratulations. Yes if the others can do it another hike and hammock camping would be fun to see.

[@sharonlam4964]

Welcome to Michigan! 🎉Congratulations Robbie!

[@dedgar6161]

I love watching Robbie’s solo hiking videos. My gf always makes fun of me for phantoms too bc I’m paranoid of ticks

[@dustyc324]

I say better to be over worried. I spot check myself after going through tall grass areas and always at breaks. I usually tick check while the sun is still up as soon as camp is settled in. I don't want to go to bed with them on me and don't want to do it in the dark.

[@jackiesmith1325]

I sometimes get anxiety seeing any of them hiking alone because of how the world is. Glad he was ok hiking.

[@michael_budda]

It wouldn't be Adventure Archives without rain...😁

[@sylvanreflections]

Also, looks like you got an Osmo Pocket 3! I got mine for my solo trips and I absolutely LOVE the video quality/features it has for so small a size and weight! On those long hikes with large elevation gains, that small size/weight is a blessing indeed! Love to know what features you like the most/least, etc. Great video!

[@gmonteith]

Onto every hike a little rain must fall.

[@JimmyD_C172]

DM and Basmati rice is my lunch most days! Great video and congrats on your marriage!

[@sylvanreflections]

Congratulations on getting married, Robbie! Best adventure of all!

[@Horganizer]

This was a most excellent watch and experience, great work!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Great video, man! Always love your solo adventures. ✌️

[@ranarentz1124]

Congrats on the marriage!!! I've not had Dinty Moore stew in years! It is the best canned stew out there!

[@iansaechao7043]

Congratulations to you both!!🎊 👏 🎉

[@OneHonestGuy]

Great video. We just did this exact hike two weeks ago! Loved it, but it is not flat!! LOL

[@robinowen3058]

Lived all my life in the mountainous west, it’s very nice to see the pretty hikes in the Midwest. Good to see you out and about again!

[@DragonRoams]

Congrats on your union. Great solo trip this area looks like a nice place to add to the list. I get when a place feels a certain way I get like that when I hike in the Catskills or Adirondacks of New York.

[@h.b.4058]

I'm telling you, my little Montbell backpacking umbrellas have saved me so many times! I really highly recommend it.

[@jeremywilber3451]

I needed this, thank you

[@dustyc324]

damn, those wifey noodles looked delicious. good for you, Robbie. I love the music on this one. Well, done. It fit the mood of this solo easy going walk. Not a huge adventurous sounding track like some of the more grand trips.

[@lizabethlu8824]

Yay, I love Robby's solo hikes! Haven't watched yet, saving it for tonight!

[@wanderingkenknight]

Well that has reminded me it’s been a while since I’ve done that loop. If you’re itching for more hills you need to hike west of there along the Waterloo-Pinckney Trail.

[@Duckhead3000]

I like this format

[@mayseeyang5953]

Congratulations!!! New subscriber here. Thank you for taking us along on your hikes. I love the music selection you chose for your videos.

[@tuathadenan]

Congratulations Robbie may you have a happy marriage and a long life together.
