Hiking to Hidden Caves and Cliffs at Big South Fork | 4K

[@BrianWilliamDoty]

I like it when Andrew talks about and identifies plants trees and mushrooms.

[@HNS-007]

I like the vids brian, and yes i do like it too when andrew speaks on zoology

[@baraclude]

Trees and mushrooms eh?

[@andrews7170]

Thanks

[@bethblack6650]

Such a great episode! My favorite line is Brian’s “Someone needs to stay alive.”

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it! :D

[@jasonzhou-j1g]

This is a very golden episode

[@AdventureArchives]

True! very warm, gold colors :)

[@devamail1]

I was shocked to see the tombstone of Archie Smith in the park! That was my uncle who only lived a few months. Alford and Elva were my grandparents. I had no idea he was buried there. My family must have once had land in what is this area of the park. I still have family that live in nearby Oneida and I own a house there! There are lots of bears in the area- glad you took precautions with separate cooking and sleeping spots.

[@AdventureArchives]

Sorry we're just now responding to this, but wow! That is an incredible find. Have you been able to visit since?

[@devamail1]

@@AdventureArchives Hi guys! Love your videos! I’ve not been back since then, but my next visit I plan to hike out and look for the grave. Thanks for all the great adventures you share with us!

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

This is the most professional- looking hiking channel I’ve come across!

[@reyl6152]

Theres a lot of reasons why I love this channel, but I think one of the biggest ones is that every video reminds me of human curiousity and community. I always feel like every video has messages that I need to hear at that very moment, and during this video I found myself remembering growing up in a forest and wanting to explore every part of it. Wonderful video as always 💐

[@thesiluresscribe567]

That's the longest I've seen your knife unsheaved, Andrew. To me that speaks more about the man than the knife. I love these videos :-)

[@walk-tall-hikes]

As a new subscriber that's going back and bing watching all your past episodes I'm amazed that your gear has basically not changed and Andrew is still in a basic tarp! Your all about getting outdoors and prove that gear and equipment isn't as important as people make it out to be! And yet your video quality is the best of any outdoor channel I've ever seen and you must spend a lot on camera equipment!

[@TheBinoyVudi]

You guys need to stay on youtube for a very long time. LOVE your work. And the music is original I see, so no copyright BS to bog you down.

[@sonofabear]

Beautiful! I live in Western NC, so I'll have to give South Fork a visit. I always love the time and care put into these videos.

[@geraldwald3473]

Definitely give it a visit, and another National Recreational Area near you Mount Rogers in Virginia.

[@Hgchhggvhjhfhkjh]

man these videos are just the perfect escape from a global pandemic!!

[@robertwilson3914]

I am 70yrs old...I lived some of that sort of LITTON FARM life...there's nothing quite like it...the stove, the spring house , the garden, the old house, the barn...oh, for a simpler time...smile. You guys have no real idea how sweet it was....explore more.Ding how!

[@WinteryMix84]

I did an overnight there about 4 years ago with some friends. It was early November. It was pouring rain and when we started out it was 48 degrees. Sometime in the night the rain stopped, but a cold front passed through and we woke up to 16 degrees. Most memorable miserable trip ever, but I still love the place-it is gorgeous down there.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Andrew whispering: 'everyone is still sleeping so I'll collect some firewood and get a nice fire for them to wake up to. Tip-toes to nearby branch...CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!.....CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! hahaha

[@steveforsythe9264]

Thing is he said when dusk broke lol, think it's sunrise

[@toruko-ishibravo2zulu679]

Chopping noise tells anybody interested where to sneak-up on your location. I use a 16.6 inch Sugowaza, which looks like it was made by sword-loving Asians. It quietly cuts wood or defends honor. The weight is 1.6 pounds in the sheath. Fit on a hip belt or below either knee. At WesSpur.com ; for tree huggers

[@daniilkrivov4764]

Thought the same thing! haha..

[@nancyford4536]

Nothing like fall, so beautiful for a hike. Love the colors and fall plants.

[@joshmontgomery4040]

Have to say you all have the very best hiking channel on the Tube. I’ve been to many of the same places mushrooms 🍄 are my bag . Great friends the best of times. 👍👍

[@christophermyers5169]

wonderful to see a new adventure, thank you all

I sure appreciate you gentlemen. I Live in East Tennessee, Knoxville, and have really enjoyed thru my adult life feeding lucky to live near two of most special places on this planet of ours. Look forward to more education, insight and inspiration.

[@toruko-ishibravo2zulu679]

Sure, now, a bloody good knife ; but you can't go throw it worth a damn.

[@kristie7146]

Your videos always bring me peace and serenity. I use the ones I've already watched to fall asleep. This would be an awesome place to revisit in the spring for the rhododendron bloom, although very beautiful in fall. Great video and music as usual. Loved it

[@briiidye]

Yesss, one hour and 26 minutes I can avoid studying - thanks guys!

[@geryan6559]

My favorite KZbin channel! When I hike it is therapeutic and so is your channel, thank you AdventureArchives!!

[@dorisbotts6414]

Just started watching your site. I immediately subscribed. It is the best travel one I've seen. You explain everything along the way to make us feel like we are right there with you. I grew up hiking in the woods of Pennsylvania and miss it so much. Haven't done it in over 30 years and now at 71 I'm physically unable to with blood clots in my lungs.. so watching your site makes me feel like I'm right there hiking with you. I also love the stories you tell. I almost lost it when he said fuzzy toilet paper. Keep up the great videos. Now I'm off to watch another of your videos. Stay safe all of you. Thumbs up.

[@chiefonelung3416]

Gosh! I don't know how in the world I have missed this channel. I just discovered it this morning. So incredible. You guys do the most incredible job not to mention what wonderful personalities and characters that you all three have. Big South Fork is one of my favorite places to camp and hike. At 71 years old I still go tent camping there a lot. Thank you so much for your hard work that you do I can't wait to order a t-shirt. Maybe I will be fortunate enough to run into you guys somewhere on the trail it would be an honor just say hello and hopefully things will change so that I can shake your hands or do an elbow bump. Love you work. Please stay safe and healthy out there.

[@clairemcgee4716]

I love your intelligent commentary ..... I live in Guatemala --- love your channel !!

[@catsanctuary17]

Fabulous! This is the only channel I've found that discusses the flora and fauna during the hike. Very awesome

[@bawbtherevelator6445]

Great trip and interaction, y'all. A 1000 years ago - I'm 82 now - my buddies at UCLA and long after would let me go where they went at my own speed but call after me to be sure I hadn't fallen off a cliff or been eaten by horned frogs - cerebral palsy's forever! : ). Effectively that made me know I'd missed nothing and lived a full life. FWIW that's the best gift anyone can get or give. Bluntly, I'm tied for luckiest dude who ever lived.

[@sk8crazynavy]

[@joeyblack986]

We missed you guys !!! You guys are the most positive on KZbin We love you guys !!!

[@gabriellezimmerman7846]

Just to clarify (in case nobody else did) the word "clift" is a misspelling of "cleft", which is a fissure in a rock formation. Totally different thing from a cliff, so that sign was definitely wrong. Great video guys!

[@TXGranny2]

Loved the trip, got my AA fix for the day! Thought it was funny how everyone was eatin their own meals, so used to watching y'all share your food. We'll get back to that one of these days. To your next adventure!

Watching your videos reminds me of when I was younger. I still go out and explore. But I let life get me too busy and lost touch with all my friends. Take it from someone that knows. Never loose contact with your friends. Don't let life get you to busy.

[@romantichorror5289]

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this video. Some parts, I was in awe, some parts I laughed so hard it's a wonder I didn't pop some internal stitches. (Just had surgery) Loved it! You guys are going to keep me company while I heal up. ☺

[@EricVentures]

Good to see you guys back on trail! Great adventure!

[@vafrog02]

Very informative video, especially on the flora. I also think it is so smart that you eat in a separate area from sleep-great for bear country. Really enjoyed the video. I have never seen Magnolia tree leaves so large.
