Cozy Winter Camping in a Tranquil Snowy Forest | Seneca Creek Backpacking 4K

If your filter is a micro membrane filter (like a Sawyer but others are similar) and it freezes, it is no longer safe to use it because it isn’t preventing bacteria from passing through. If the temps are going below zero, it’s best to keep your filter inside your coat to keep it from freezing.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks for the heads up! And for anyone else who might have been in the same situation, turns out you can test the integrity of the filter using this method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3-nZGZ_jcuMsKc

Don't forget to put it in a ziploc and keep it in your sleeping bag at night with you.

[@arlenesolis024]

That is right. There are water molecules that stay within the fibers that when it freezes it expands break the microfibers. Some people keep them within themselves so that their body warms it up prevents it from freezing

[@BASSABLACC]

You can use a grayl after it freezes once. I keep the filter in a ziplock close to my core 🤷🏿‍♂️

My favorite part of these videos is always the camping part. I love watching you guys sitting around the fire eating and just hanging out, then climbing in the tent for the night. Great video!

Baking bread on a stick is a campfire classic in Denmark. The secret is making it very thin on the stick, bake it over embers and looooooots of patience. We usually just make a standard, plain wheat, dough for rolls and eat with ketchup and maybe a hotdog, but now I wanna experiment.

[@jocelynramirez9705]

I subscribed to your KZbin channel just this weekend and i love your content a lot. I have 2 children ( sons) . I would love to see them explore the outdoor. Your videos inspire me to encourage my children to do things with nature. I have 14 years old and i let him watch your videos. He likes Nature too. We are from Jersey City, NJ. We sometimes go to upstate NY to see nature. Last March we went to LA to visit Yosemite but unfortunately it was closed 😊and i think its still close until now because of blizzard. We will try again in 2 years but definitely do it in the summer. Anyways, you are an inspiration to me. Thanks for your content. I hope some day my kids will find a group of friends like you who would explore nature to get high than to do drugs. ❤ More power and please keep inspiring people, especially thevyoung ones.

[@jonyang6982]

Thanks you AdventureArchives, my dad loves your channel , he and I would always watch every video you guys put out my dad pass away on 2/17/22. Your channel have help me grief thru the pain from our memories of watch you guys travel thank you! Stay safe!

Good job managing a tough fire Andrew and guys. I kept thinking to myself that there should be larger wood pieces tucked against the fire to dry out. Then there they were. Shred up some birch bark next time. It's tough to do when wet, like anything else, but it does still burn well for tinder even if it's wet. Birch wood chunks too.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! Good advice :)

[@kdavis4910]

@@AdventureArchives and it smells really good for a bonus. I love the smell of burning birch wood. I think it's what makes fires smell so good. I'd wear it as a perfume for sure.

[@coolohiobreeze2037]

I found your videos a few weeks ago, when I was looking for a video of hiking in National Parks. My Granddaughter was hiking/camping at that time in a series of the National Parks. I completely love your videos. Not just watching your hiking adventures, but your respect of Nature, respect of each other, your knowledge of nature/plants/trees/flowers.... Also, the soothing music being played in the background. I have always loved Nature and hiking. Just never have gone on hikes as long as yours! But, I swear, if I weren't almost 72 years old, I would be out there hiking long hikes like you! :) Thank you for letting me live vicariously at this time in my life, which accompany me with my own wonderful Nature memories. ( I still do go on hikes, but again, shorter ones now!) Oh, and I also like your discussions of food you are cooking too !! :) PS. OMG---and that Video where you were doing an enactment of similar things in Star Treck???!!! HAHAHA!! I thought your program was finished for the evening and I was walking around here, when I heard some odd conversation coming from my TV. I THOUGHT the show had segued into a new KZbin show. Nope. It was you guys --and TOTALLY cracked me up!! HAHAHA )

[@yang3625]

For someone who's expecting in April and hasn't been able to walk in the snowy trails the whole winter, this video is awesome! Thank you so much!

[@alexanderweaver7066]

You guys are a ball of fun. I love watching your adventures. They remind me of my younger days as I hiked various places around the world as a military man and after retirement working in civilian jobs in the Pacific Rim. Another wonderful benefit is education, picking up knowledge from your specific skills and your philosophies on life. Thank you for a great You Tube channel.

[@EyeOfTheSea1111]

It is snowing on this calm Saturday morning in northern Germany where I live near the Baltic Sea, and it is the perfect setting for watching your winter hike. Loving nature and being outdoors myself, I am so happy to have found your channel a few weeks ago, and I have already enjoyed watching many of your adventures, and I am thrilled that there still are so many more for me to discover, and I hope there will be many new ones for many more years!! Your videos are a unique composition of superb filming, beautiful nature, meaningful narration, excellent editing and amazing self composed music. Your authenticity, camaraderie, respect for nature as well as your reflections on life and your appreciation of the whole experience are so beautiful and make watching your videos so enjoyable. Robby, Andrew, Bryan and Thomas…thank you so much!! Love, Corinna 💚 P.S.: I hope we won’t lose you to the movie industry…great acting guys!! 😃

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for your comment! Your comment means a lot to us, and thank you so much for watching :) Haha, and I don't think anyone in Hollywood will be booking us anytime soon :D

[@natlovell122]

The drone footage was a great addition to the episode

[@cjsinger4103]

What a great episode! I rewatch your videos often and just rewatched this gem. Can’t wait for some winter hiking here in Michigan! It is pure joy and inspiration to watch you guys. Robbie’s music, is perfect, just lifts the awesome camera shots to another level. I am so blessed to have discovered your chanel during Covid. It was a life preserver then and still is. Much ❤

[@Silkstep]

Seneca Creek Falls was a Wow moment. Frozen cascades. Lily pads made of ice. Lovely. And your second night's camps site? Amazing!! Being flexible on the route kept the adventure enjoyable. It's about the smiles, not the miles.

[@chasemullins6478]

The music is so beautiful and perfectly captures the beauty of the wintery landscape!

[@cynthieful]

Did not expect Andrew to mention Kuksa! I'm from Finland and own one, although I don't know if it was made using the most traditional methods. Can't wait for spring, but meanwhile as we're still full on winter mode this episode fit the mood. It's always nice to watch you fight the cold while being wrapped in a blanket in my warm bed myself haha

[@AdventureArchives]

Very cool! I need to get one to drink some coffee with. Thanks so much fro watching :) -Andrew

[@jason_from_canada]

Nothing like an Adventure Archives Winter episode! ❄🙌 Your music and the visuals blend so well it's such a pleasure to watch. Love that Andrew is always willing to try something new and nice to see the return of the fire God. 🔥Beautifully shot as always. 👌The shout outs so imaginative and fun! The return was worth it! 👍

[@karamcgreal765]

This one really puts things in perspective when it comes to winter blues. I do feel revived whenever I get outside. For the winter, I'll put on the appropriate layers and give myself 20 minutes outdoors. It's also a good reminder that some discomfort keeps us from taking our favorite things for granted.

[@ccfully]

Another great video, Guys! Impressive you do your own music. I bet a lot of viewers don’t know that 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you!

Theres nothing harder than getting out of a winter tent in the morning

[@scottchase8014]

Thank you. It's a breath of fresh air... I'VE BEEN IN THE FIELD FOR 27 YEARS... SO NICE TO SEE SOME OTHER PEOPLE ENJOYING BEING OUT IN THE FIELD FOR A LITTLE WHILE

[@terizumbusch8408]

So I realized you're on the East Coast and I'm over here in Portland Oregon but if you ever want to come to the Northwest which I think you. Would absolutely love you can always camp in my backyard while you decide what to do. You'd love it here it's so beautiful. Blessings, Grandma Teri

[@Bluegrassprincess]

I've watched for several years and this time Is so gorgeous!!! The shot of blue sky and icy snowy limbs looking up right before Robbie said about the sun brings so much warmth, breath taking! So many shots make me think post cards ! I bet dept of tourism around there would buy your footage for calenders and such. Art! 4 person tent me who ha!!! Lol

[@ejeruksperes]

Coming from a tropical country with only dry and rainy seasons, hiking and camping in the winter are one of the things that I really want to try. Great video as usual guys, loved the scenery and especially the music, very fitting! Thank you for bringing this amazing experience to us through KZbin!

[@donmcgowan2616]

I truly appreciate how you guys are encouraging a love for and appreciation of the natural world and the beauty and wonder to be found there in all seasons, even in the effort and work sometimes required to enjoy it. Walk in Beauty.

That was beautiful and these snowy mornings so magical. Love the shoutouts. Stellar acting, Robby.

[@michigancarols.6385]

Great episode! We share many delights of winter hiking thanks for articulating them so well. Especially seeing the footprints of wildlife and the opening up of the landscape. What you said about being able to read the land/see animal activity better in the snow is so true! Thanks for photographing the various forms of ice art, they are fascinating!

[@dcv9460]

Enjoyed every minute of it. Great Vid guys! 😎💯👍

loosen your pack straps in deeper amd faster water. if you fall down, your pack can push your head under water. Want to be able to get out of your bag quickly of needed.

[@marylousherman5471]

Beautiful winter & waterfalls.... you guys always look like you enjoy winter camping - more than slogging through rain! Those multiple tracks with the torn up ground may have been from wild hogs. I saw a video of a guy on the AT a couple months ago showing a torn up area of ground and he, being local, said it was hogs. Be safe out there!

[@terizumbusch8408]

Just so beautiful! Thank you guys for making this journey sharing the beautiful waterfalls And your love of winter in the outdoors. You guys are fun to listen to, Good friends And much joy. God bless you, Grandma from portland oregon

The first thing that made my heart warm in spite of the winter is the music. It has been very very hot here for a long time. It is so cold and wet over there, it is unbelievable. I am watching this from the bed. Every time you upload and see how hard you people have worked on this, it gives me strength to continue. Nature is a treasure. 🏔🌨❄

Loving this snowy adventure with you guys ⛄️! The video is superb, your camaraderie is warm and your food cooked over the open fire & eaten with such gusto and enjoyment - what can I say - is there anything more satisfyingly toasty to watch on a cold winter night over here in Oz? Btw there is no snow during winter over here 😢😢. Your shots of the snow, the forest landscape plus the waterfalls were breathtakingly beautiful. I can only dream of a similar winter here 🤗. Thank you AA with much love from Oz!

[@wesmorrell3052]

Fantastic video as always. Turkeys roost in trees they don’t stay on the ground. The scratching on the ground was them looking for their breakfast.

[@janewolf4541]

WOW. You guys are sure hard core hiker, campers. I love your adventures, and all your work. Thank you.

[@daphne8406]

I love making stick bread (pinnebrød) in the winter on a campfire! Usually we would bring ready made plain dough, make the dough strip quite thin before you wrap it around a stick and then bake it slowly over the fire. Super yummy with some Nutella or hot dogs that you also roast on a stick over the fire 😋

[@scottkirklin7154]

Although we don't get any snow here in the desert - your winter camping recalls the great times I had in snowy ID, WA, PA and DEhiking backwoods trails without another soul on them - it's a special feeling that few enjoy. Looks like you had a glorious time and I recall many a Dinty Moore can being tapped when I was a wee Boy Scout

[@phillipmilligan95]

Such a huge fan of you guys! I love the appreciation for even the smallest things in nature that are sometimes easy to pass right by 🏕️ Would love to see a video about the camera gear you all use to produce such a high quality adventure

1:15:38 - Those are likely turkey scratchings. They will rake back the snow and leaves to get to grubs and other forage. Another great video!

[@rickminer7528]

Although it might sound daunting and take some experience, camping in the winter can give you a new-found appreciation of the season we often denigrate as being drab and lifeless. Perfectly said, Robby.

The sound of walking on snow is very calming although not as calming as the sound of walking on gravel or autumn leaves.

Had to watch this because I was there 10 years ago in the Winter. Quick little fact about that forest. It is considered a Boreal forest. An enigma for sure, pretty far south for Chaga or Boreal forests.

You guys are awesome ! Always looking to watching you guys do your adventures. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'm not surprised at the size of the turkey beds. We had two in the woods behind our place two years ago, and about 20 this year. The flocks grow quickly! And to think they were extinct where I am in the 1970's, when the government re-introduced them in the wild.

[@TheSharonleu]

Love watching your crew enjoy your meals! It's definitely always my favorite part of any trip. I make trail congee regularly, but dehydrate my own rice bc Instant Rice has a less starchy grain. For those of us gram weenies, pork floss has high cal/oz with a ton of protein. Another winter favorite is trail hot pot, since freeze dried fish cake, tofu, etc., are really easy to find in asian groceries.
