Camping in a Spring Hailstorm at Savage Gulf | 4K

[@TomatoSoup21]

Robby's comment about Andrew rationalizing the flavour of his soup was unexpectedly hilarious and made me spit my water out.

[@jeremyecton3659]

I was about to make the same comment. I suppose if I knew as much as Andrew about edible plants I would try to eat every edible plant i could and then rationalize why it tastes so awful too lol

[@zakkw788]

Robby seemed like he could hardly watch, while Bryan just stared on in disbelief, I was absolutely dying of laughter, had to rewind it a couple times!!!

[@deborahsimpson4968]

Andrew the oil free eating world fries things like that lion manes by constant little water squirts that declare the pan. It would've worked out much better

[@KREPTiiK_]

Andrew’s knowledge and love for flowers and the like is so refreshing. I love hearing him speak about each and every one :)

[@st2778]

Fantastic! As usual 😉. As mentioned by many others, this is better than anything on network or streaming service.. A botanical paradise

[@whatoh3407]

Better than Naked and Afraid? 🤣

[@st2778]

@@whatoh3407 Since I have never watched that show, I would say without hesitation yes. 😂

[@jen21ash3]

100% yes. This is better than any TV out there.

[@ritagibbons5251]

Thank you so much. As a 76 year old woman who loves to hike and plants: this brings much joy!

[@TarynHarbridge]

I absolutely love your videos you guys. Anytime I feel a little bit down or want something fun to watch I’ll put on one of your adventures and it cheers me up. Thank you for all the work and time you put into these videos! I feel like I’m on the adventure with you.

[@nonimursidi5436]

Same here. If I feel down I’ll watch their videos. I dunno why. Lol

[@staceyfox9244]

The knowledge that each of you share is a valuable insight- your adventures are inspiring me to get out and do some day hikes….. I would like to build up my knowledge and skills to do some overnight hikes- I am an advanced camper however I am a novice hiker

[@Jesuscares7680]

If everybody could get as excited as Robby does about eating food and finding water ..the world would be a better place.....pure joy..

[@lesliew87]

Not sure if you all read all these comments but an update on this place- it’s now the newest state park in TN! The whole of South Cumberland SP was so large and spread out they were having trouble managing it as one so they separated savage gulf (and 733 new acres of land) and made it Savage Gulf State Park!

[@thomaspayton_]

You guys get better and better at filming every video

[@Mark_Jacobson81]

Dope cameras definitely help level up.

[@natehoover5266]

Your channel is so unique in the backpacking community. It's not of the "ultralight" "thru-hiker" variety which is refreshing because most of us aren't thru hikers. I need buddies to hike with. It looks more fun than my solo adventures.

[@tracym7507]

Just wanted to say that the scene in the huge tent when the guys are blowing up the mattresses was really funny, a much needed laugh at plain silliness

[@alant.541]

Great adventure filled with waterfalls, wildflowers, suspension bridges, and glowing campfires. Only thing missing was Thomas.

[@sharondavis8003]

Giant tent, multiple bridges, breathtaking waterfalls accessed by spiral stairs and the BEST backpacking team can only equal an AdventureArchives journey. ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻😎

[@Outdoors49Man]

The slow motion waterfall is mesmerizing.

[@mindiwilhelm4322]

Thank you for the great mental health statements about hope. As a psych RN, I really appreciate your work. So many people struggle with depression that you may never know how many lives you have touched.

[@lisagunther2617]

My kids got me into backpacking 13 years ago and my philosophy was to hike as fast and far as you can, camp, pack up and do it again the next day. Taking my grandson as well as newbies has slowed me down. Watching your awesome videos has taught me to enjoy the journey. I now notice the little things - flowers, bugs, the way trees grow, mushrooms (but not making soup anytime soon), etc. Thanks for posting these and giving me a different perspective on backpacking. ❤️

[@mindys5555]

This is really cute 🥺 i hope you've had many more great trips & even more to come

[@jimmyjrosu]

Either Andrew was trolling Robby, or he finally found something that tasted knee-slapping good.

[@KREPTiiK_]

Brian’s smile when he said “I wasn’t going to say it but Robby did” was so great lol.

[@VikramSinghYadav01]

Yo when Andrew pulled out that white hairy thing from the whole in the tree I nearly fainted ! Thank you !

[@redknightsr69]

There is an initiative in the Cumberlands of Tennessee (VA and KY too) to repopulate and grow the original short leaf pine savannah grasslands of the region. Shortleaf and Longleaf pine savannahs are some of the most species rich habits in north America. You guys hiked past 3 different species of pine plus the hemlock. Just an idea. The amount of views this channel gets is incredible and would love to see people educated on how the environments and ecosystem once looked before European settlers walked North America.

[@curiousclownfish3166]

The water situation on day 3 feels like deja vu of Robby's West Virginia solo trip. So glad that you don't have to rely on the lion's mane to keep hydrated.

[@steppininit8559]

I absolutely love your knowledge about flowers and plants... I wish you gave plant identification classes... You three guys are amazing

[@ck4797]

KZbin may have a limitless amount of content and new videos uploaded daily.... however time and time again I come back to re-watching so many of these wellcrafted and rewatchable episodes that provide a lot of levity and healing. Thanks AA guys❤. This is my absolute number one channel on KZbin.

[@BarbinRottweiler]

Adventure Archives, the most comfy videos on all of KZbin.

[@markroy1233]

Life goes by quick my days of long hikes are gone but I will live through you vicariously

[@LaughingLady-ee7og]

I love your videos and camaraderie. Y’all go places I can’t (mobility limitations), but I get to experience them in a very real way. Thank you.

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

Amazing botanical exposé and descriptions…The lions mane score was excellent!

[@mgkelley2609]

The commentary, editing, dialogue, cinematography, inspiration, education and motivational camaraderie made this a masterpiece imo ! I watched half with my eyes closed and I could see and smell better than any audio book I’ve listened! I hope nothing but the best for you guy’s …. Thank you 🙏

[@travellingcats1047]

Ive been fascinated with hiking videos lately. I'd been watching lots of thru hikes of the AT. You guys' approach of slowing down and appreciating everything in nature is SO refreshing. Makes me miss those campiing trips we took in Colorado with friends during my younger days.

[@kaizenlife1152]

I love how you guys just hammer food together. You can see how much you guys are appreciating it after a long day of hiking

[@inthehouse1960]

So glad you went with the big tent - I swear by them. They're so light and easy to set up now and if you camp in racing, snow etc. you have a place to hang out when you can't be outside. Mine is an 6-person tent with 2 poles (lots of stakes though) - so easy to set up and carry. Love your content.

[@inthehouse1960]

racing = supposed to be raining...

[@stacyhewitt3472]

Guys I was so excited to see you guys were coming to our local park! Our cabin is about 10-15 minutes from The Stone Door and Greeter Falls trail heads. I wish I'd have known we would have loved to join you guys. Collins West and Savage Falls ate still on that side. I believe you can get to Savage Falls from Hobbs Cabin. Come back one day, there still several different parts of the Parks across our Mountain. Feiry Gizzard, Foster Falls and Denny Cove. Thank you guys for the beautiful video of my home ❤️ Very Proud of it

[@iamdew]

25:40 the music sound reminds me of 80s game soundtracks, I love it. Fantastic experience as usual. A complete show. Time flies when I'm watching the AA's videos, and the post hike meal is a great bonus.

[@irmaabenes4023]

Just found your channel while surfing what to watch and I found myself and my husband enjoying watching your videos. Andrew is very knowledgeable about plants, trees, flowers, mushrooms edible and not edible. Andrew said, in one of their videos that he is an amateur Botanist. You made us learned a lot about plants in all your hikings. Thank you. Andrew, you are so smart remembering all those plants including the Scientific names. We don't hike but still enjoying watching you 4, Andrew, Robby, Bryan and Thomas. Stay safe guys and God bless.

[@themourningdove7208]

The best. Music, food, hiking, cinematography, editing, plants, life And no advertising ✌️🤍🕊️

[@MomLife-wb3qr]

Grandfather Mountain in NC has a mile high swinging bridge. Fun as a kid, bet I wouldn't cross it today!

[@sportkiteflyer]

I just found your videos during a search on the Savage Gulf. I’ve hiked there many times but never down into the middle of the gulf. This video plus Robbie’s 40 mile solo video has shown me what I’ve been missing but what I hope to experience soon. You guys are terrific and do such a great job with these. Thank you!

[@gastrobistro]

19:04 funniest moment XD

[@patriciamoak2042]

I laugh whenever Robby and Andrew gets the giggles

[@BET4FISH]

I've watched your stuff for years but never commented and as we know the algo rythyms like comments etc. anyway thanks for inspiring us to get out and commune with our fantastic planet...peace and love

[@johnfinfin]

The Everything Anywhere All At Once credits were hilarious. Well done!

[@audreyross7245]

You guys did a great job. I wouldn't want to be on any other planet.

[@williambeck6364]

P.O.V. from inside a log? AWESOMENESS!

[@mickeypigknuckles]

I can’t believe this content is free.

[@BushidoDevilDog]

The jet at @1:23:55 is a T-45C Goshawk subsonic Navy trainer. ✌🏼 Awesome video as always, gents!

[@peacebewithu73]

We love watching y'all hike right here in TN. We try to do some of the ones you guys have. We love your videos. Thank you all for all you do to entertain and educate us!

[@1961markc]

The way you guys narrate your adventures they could be audio only podcasts. A mini audiobook if you will. Awesome job as always.

[@daryleharris1021]

Guys, I've been watching your adventures for years, now, and I must comment on the superb growth of your productions. Your photography is spectacular, the editing and musical creation and selection, Andrew's informative sharing of wildflowers and greenery is wonderful. I particularly enjoy the camaraderie that you share with each other and with us. I don't get out much anymore and love the length and scope of your adventures. I feel like I'm a part of your friendship and sharing. Your videos make a difference and I care about each of you. Just wanted to tell you that. I love what you do and look forward to more... Daryle J. Harris, Gainesville, GA

[@williamwirick886]

Great episode! I feel like a proud Pappa watching yall discover Savage Gulf!! I've been exploring this area since the late 80's. It's where I learned to repell, rock climb, and hike. To get past the wobble rocks you have to walk like you're drunk. There's still much more amazing things to see just in the South Cumberland State Park system let alone the rest of middle TN. Maybe plan a waterfall trip to Fall Creek Falls and Virgin Falls. Robbie knows Virgin Falls!. 👌 great video once again!

[@gettinghighwithtwooldbroad3094]

Wonderful videos. You guys are experts at this. We hope to learn from you.

[@natureisallpowerful]

Yes lads,great to see yous out again. I love spring. New life,growth, a time for change, beauty. I've just been on a 6 day hiking and wildcamping trip. Can't wait to get back out..respect.

[@pennyarmendariz24]

Also, you all have a special chemistry that is reminiscent of school day freindships.

[@peacebewithu73]

Y'all make a difficult day end very well. Thank you!!!!

[@cischapen552]

I loved the sound of rain so much😍

[@karenabel6218]

Very nice video especially the snowy part. I always look forward to one of your videos. Thanks guys.

[@BOOMBIGZ]

Beautiful nature scenes!

[@Tofu_Pilot]

Lion's Mane is the finest fungus amongst us. It can never be disgusting, only fabulous.

[@joanlynch5271]

You guys make everything fun 😉

[@dirtribbonaddiction]

I didnt read all the comments so someone may have already said this. When you left Sawmill to find water you were headed in the right direction but you gave up too soon. If you keep going across the dry creek bed there is a sign that says Schwoon Springs. It is about 1/2 mile from Sawmill, but it's a flowing and beautiful water fall area that disappears into a cave. It seems like it takes forever to get to it from Sawmill cuz you're tired and don't wanna hike anymore but the area itself is well worth seeing! If you head back to Savage, check it out. Great video. Savage is one of my favorite places ever!

[@b.jackson4072]

So love your videos! You travel through some amazing places and are very knowledgeable about nature and plants. You guys are so funny! Thank you for sharing. Keep up your amazing hikes and camping trips!! Well done!! 😊

[@cloverhills1369]

I love this video💚 Your excitement over sharing a tent😆 Robby being so tickled he couldn't air up his mat. Brian was so cute waking up looking like a baby peapod from one of those old Anne Gedde's calendars and you all eating on those gigantic cereals 😆 and always love Andrew's excitement and love for plants. This whole hike is is just BEAUTIFUL 😍 thank you so much for sharing.

[@lilyespe2407]

Something, somewhere, sometimes! I’m dying

[@VikramSinghYadav01]

I enjoyed that, missed Thomas, really appreciate the anctedotes that Andrew drops at end of the videos also !

[@Esther-ps3vx]

You guys are so lucky to have one another, your videos are awesome. Thank you!

[@rgilbert92]

Great filming as usual! Really enjoy watching your hikes.

[@aadmonk]

I always enjoy your videos! Particularly when you are filming trails like this one .I have hiked in Savage Gulf many times and will never grow tired of visiting this wonderful area.

[@carolguezen5829]

Love the big smiles on your face…nothing as peaceful as fly fishing!

[@agilegold]

The skits at the end of this one were THE BEST EVER. And yes, I loved the episode too. This place is on my list for backpacking.

[@maggiecu3657]

Your friendship is as inspiring as the incredible surroundings. Thanks for the inspiration for hiking and for life.

[@chewsalot799]

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, what a joy it must be to experience such beauty with your family! So Wholesome🥰🥰🥰

[@patlidford-cizdziel3156]

I'be been rewatching earlier episodes and would love to see all of you do the Ice Age Trail hike that you, Robby, were unable to finish due to your ankle injury.

[@marieokay]

"we had a voltron situation" hahahaha! y'all are just great

[@sueswadling6387]

When the trees look like chartreuse lace is my favorite time of the year also.

[@missjprays]

Idk where to start. I loved so dang much about this episode. I literally just watched the video of Robby going there by himself. I stumbled across this channel. It just popped up in my feed. Anyways. I really love love LOVE the energy between these 3. I have watched like 3 episodes a day since I’ve found this. This episode was amazing. I loved the laughing so hard in the tent while trying to blow up the mattresses. It reminded me of being with my friends long ago and have those moments that make life worth living lol you guys have such knowledge and I seriously love your intelligence, patience and authenticity!!! I love that you try the plants and fungi and Robby made me laugh looking like he was gonna barf!! That Unexpected ending was freaking awesome crazy fun!!! There’s nothing about you’re guys work that I don’t like. You guys are extremely more professional and put your work together better than a whole network on tv. I feel like I’m watching something that has a huge production!! I love that you guys always give feedback and appreciation to those who send you stuff! Guess I’m gonna have to check your website for more details. Praying for your travels and look forward to more!! One word of advice. Don’t ever take that bond between you guys for granted. Cherish it!! I miss friends like that!! Life changes so fast sometimes. Hugs

[@travellingcats1047]

Yea I miss those friendships too. I used to do road trips, hiking and camping with a friend from high school. Hope these 4 stay friends forever!

[@jeremygriffith2806]

Savage gulf (south Cumberland state Park) is truly a hidden gem. Much of the area was purchased through private fundraising efforts. I'm no expert but probably spent a dozen nights here. Happy to share what Ive learned if anyone has any questions.

[@lindabartoli8180]

I always look forward to your videos, and this was one of the best. There were a couple of laugh-out-loud moments that left me smiling, like Robby's and Bryan's reaction to the mushroom soup. Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures. Can't wait for the next one.

[@metanostalgia]

For the second video in a row, yall have camped at the exact same site I camped. The campsite you guys stopped at in sawmill was the one myself and my boy scout troop camped in. In fact, Bryan boiled water around the same spot I made my instant ramen in 2015. Nostalgia is hitting

[@nn.taramai9260]

great job as always lads! I have watched all your videos but I usually don't comment, but I felt compelled to say I found your closing comments very profound and moving. Thanks again 👍

[@justingilbone6386]

Thank you so much for fixing the percussion part of the intro music. That imprecise hi-hat in the earlier version of the intro always drives me insane.

[@christiansgaard6648]

Last night i Was Again not able to sleep ,but turned on my iPad and turned KZbin on,luckely you boys just arired this new episode, as always you make exelent videos,so greatings from Danmark and thanks for the Company in a sleepless night.

[@pennyarmendariz24]

I love your videos. You go places many of us can only dream of going. I appreciate and admire the extensive knowledge of of the flora and fauna. So refreshing to watch a clean cut, adventure video. The fact that you all are truly enjoying yourselves is very evident. Love it!

[@hopeonthetrail6984]

This looked like a hard trail but I'm sure well worth it. The falls were beautiful. As a musician myself I listen to the music and then realized that two of you wrote the music. Did you actually record voice etc? Great job. As always I look forward to when I have to watch another episode of your show. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings, Teri Hope and my sweet Lab Maddie.

[@jason_from_canada]

Another fun watch guys and so well done! Such a beautiful area and your cinematography really showed it off. Props to AA's "fungi" Andrew for persevering with the lion's mane miso soup 🍄🦁 The imagination that goes into the shout-outs is amazing! Give Robby a greenscreen and you never know what's going to happen but you can be sure it will be entertaining! 🤣 You always want to stick around for that post hike meal and shout-outs such a great way to cap off another great adventure! 👍👏

[@irmaabenes4023]

Love the narration, the music everything in this video awesome. Thank you guys.

[@AJKPenguin]

I've been familiar with Eastern Redbud for many years; the trees are extremely fertile and they grow quick. I had no idea the flowers were edible and tasty. PS: great eye to use the inside of a log for a camera angle! Certainly your air mattresses have laughing gas.

[@ashleybagwell2445]

I always enjoy traveling the journeys with you while I work. BTW...love the ending!

[@nickbristol3457]

You guys are just the best. Always something special about your videos and they are wonderful to watch. I know they are not always relaxing as you do it but they sure give one a relaxing and peaceful feel watching. Thanks guys!

[@outdoorswithjames1]

Amazing as always ☺️

[@jinsu216]

Top notch as always I would love to see more Robby Japan vlogs

[@dirtribbonaddiction]

Savage is one of my absolute favorite places to hike! i love it so much!

[@Shell.Bug.]

I love your love for the plants and flowers. I was excited when you found the wild ginger. I love those brown velvety blooms. Dutchmen breeches are so delicate and perfectly named. Was hoping for you to find a lady slipper and a jack in the pulpit. So excited when you prepared the Lions Mane. I’ve never found one of those but here in WV we scout for Molly Moochers (morels) in the spring. As an oncology nurse I see so many plants that are used in chemotherapy drugs. Y’all make miso soup look really good. I’m gonna have to try that on my next hike. Love your videos, your laughter and love for God’s earth. Keep hiking and sharing your journey🥾🥾🤎

[@killuax3905]

Yet another awesome adventure!! Thanks AA :) also, love the credit scenes

[@rpoberueberSCHECKE]

Danke Danke Danke Danke...... Seit vielen Jahren begleite ich Ihre wundervollen Geschichten auf YT und ich bin jedesmal begeistert über die Schönheiten in den Reportagen aus den schönsten Teilen der USA und anderen Ländern. Es ist einfach eine besondere Freude Ihre Filme auf einem großen TV zu sehen. Jedesmal wenn ich Sie alle 4 in den Filmen begleite fühle ich mich wie ein Begleiter hinter der Kamera. Danke Danke Danke Danke

[@roselee_explores]

Awesome video of a gorgeous place. It's crazy to me how different the water levels were ... compared to when I was there (at the end of March). I couldn't find a safe place to cross to get to Ranger Falls and there was a ton of water near the bridge close to the Sawmill campsites. Great to see y'alls perspective!

[@RunningUphill]

I love you guys. You are hilarious. Lion's Mane is definitely not for everyone. I think the texture is something like wet paper towel. But it is uber healthy. So eh? Andrew is outliving us all!

[@althrox]

Andrews' Disgusting Mushroom Soup, should be a t-shirt

[@whistlepig]

My man knows his flowers! Great video, guys.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Love your videos. This was fantastic!

[@whistlingglasses8758]

The writing is very good. Just what I needed to hear.

[@marshayame]

Lovely episode! I can't wait for the summer season and some beautiful hikes and films.

[@zoecarr2672]

i always feel like i've been on an adventure...great content guys

[@deborahflello2316]

Oh I am so pleased to see this pop up on my feed! Thank you guys and have a great week.
