Mammoth Cave National Park | Backpacking and Canoe Camping on the Green River

[@rebeccasmith9723]

After finding your channel this summer - I am now going deeper into the Archives archives. I'm enjoying getting to travel vicariously while pretty much homebound, so I appreciate the great places and trips. I really appreciate your style and spirit. Guileless, natural, thoughtful, erudite and light hearted. Your gear selections are of no real interest - just a means to get you out there. I really enjoy how you notice plants and wildlife and share your knowledge. And your mad skills with videography, audio and music are really impressive and a joy to experience. For me, you highlight the aspects of outdoor trips that I am after - the simple tasks, the consciousness of being alive, the spontaneous discoveries, large and small amazements in nature, dopey mistakes and satisfaction of adapting and just BEING. I want to thank you so very much, and wish the best for you and hope you are able to continue your chosen lifestyle.

[@chasingthenorth9719]

Seriously, you guys should be on television. This is broadcast quality stuff. I like how your videos aren't just a 'vlogger'-esque mish-mash of footage, but a well planned and produced piece of entertainment.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Rachel Jackson Thanks so much! Those are very kind words. I hope you come back real soon for our Yosemite video. Hopefully you like it

[@chasingthenorth9719]

AdventureArchives Cool! Look forward to it. The bit with the bald eagle cracked me up, too. So DRAMATIC haha

[@AdventureArchives]

+Rachel Jackson Haha, we were trying so hard to get a decent shot. We still haven't gotten around to buying a telescopic lens, I'm afraid. Thanks again for watching! -Andrew

[@postashley]

I get what you mean...but television is not the future. If they keep this up, they'll create their own niche in this sort of format. This is what is replacing TV.

[@TimLewallen]

20:45 - I love the Chinese Dancing Dragon music while you scramble to get the bald eagle.

[@AdventureArchives]

Hahaha, thanks! -Andrew

[@Gavin-gl7zp]

The eagle scene with the music was so well done. Made me laugh!

[@roechel1]

The way you share your meals is so special, so inspiring. Thank you

[@shootforlife]

You guys adventure, film, edit and compose your own music. You dudes are awesome!

[@zack7668]

Been watching your videos for a few months, this was 9 years ago at the time of my viewing, but wow you’d swear this was made today, truly quality work

[@NateBuker]

The Allan Watts quote and your comments that follow really express what this sort of thing is for me. Par for the course for you guys! Thanks again!

[@AdventureArchives]

Nate Buker Thank you so much! Thanks going through all of the episodes. Alan Watts has some great philosophy. -Andrew

[@NateBuker]

AdventureArchives The pleasure's mine!

[@greyfox4044]

Not sure if you guys would ever see this but I have been binge watching your episodes and I LOVE your episodes, they're great. Your personalities all shine, they're educational, VERY entertaining, and I love that it's all focused on the hikes and the mentality it gives, very inspirational! I hope one day to see you guys on a national tv or even public tv, you guys would EASILY have a dedicated audience. Please keep them up! I'll thumbs up every one I see!

[@pradeep183]

I had the best experience of my life kayaking in the green river. We kayak from 3-9pm. When it was getting dark, it was just me and my friends on the river and then it started to rain, it was hot so the rain felt really good, the sound of the rain, the water droplets pattern on the river, the mist. It was all magical, like I am in a different world.

[@CoreyB.Outdoors]

This is one of my favorite video of yours...Thanks for producing...

[@irislively9301]

AA's video have a fantastic beyond power ~ music is so fresh and a new imagination about east ~a pure joy mind write a pure walking songs ~

[@clarksonchief]

Thanks for taking us along guys. I'm doing a solo trip there next week except starting 20mile up stream from Dennison's ferry. Glad you all enjoyed your stay in Kentucky your welcome back anytime.

[@AdventureArchives]

***** Thanks! Kentucky is a beautiful place. We're definitely hoping to come back and check out Red River Gorge and Land Between the Lakes. We wanted to do the 20 mile one as well I think, but decided to play it safe with the filming and stuff. Let us know how your trip goes! And let us know how the mosquitoes are during this time of year, haha --Andrew

[@kevinfraser5179]

Canoeing and rain go very well together. Just adds to the experience.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Kevin Fraser Hahaha- less so with lots of camera equipment

[@jd0614]

how? LOL what an idiot you are

[@mikedang3613]

24:30 I love the detuned sitar theme song while you retrospectively describe the spiky acid balls

[@ThatGuyRonnie24]

Beautiful shot at 3:33. With the leaves falling and how the sun hits the van and trees in the background :)

[@AdventureArchives]

ThatGuyRonnie Thanks! Yeah, that was a random lucky one we happened to get. It was even more peaceful than it looks on the video.

[@ThatGuyRonnie24]

AdventureArchives Haha it's always the random lucky shots that look the best! Where are you guys from? I'm from Columbus OH, so what got me watching your videos in the beginning was your Zaleski video.

[@AdventureArchives]

ThatGuyRonnie So true. There's a lot of serendipity in these videos actually. We're from Columbus too! Well, Rob is originally from Indiana, but we're all living around the 614 now.

[@ThatGuyRonnie24]

Thats awesome! I knew that production name sounded familiar. We should definitely get coffee and chat sometime. It's always nice meeting other videographers! I'm actually going to be filming the Athens music fest "#Fest" this weekend. It's my first fest so I'm pretty excited.

[@NJHeart2Heart]

love the bushcrafty lesson in feathersticks with Robby!

[@samuelyoder5502]

I love watching your old videos. It's so fun seeing how far you've come! This is still great, but the production quality/ polish of your new videos is just insane.

[@elandroad1]

I’m impressed in your minimal filming of Mammoth Cave. You just gave a taste, just an idea... you gave nothing away.....it makes me want to hop on a plane and visit again. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@darthimperius3]

That looks so relaxing. When I get back to the states I'll have to put that on my bucket list.

[@AdventureArchives]

darkempress2003 For sure! When you get out there, let us know how it goes. It was definitely relaxing. Thanks for watching!

[@loud3nergy]

We (gf and I) passed you guys while you were filming on the first island that day. Never would've thought I'd see the video you all were making. Great work!

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, that is awesome! How'd you end up finding us? Are you in the shot from the first island at all? Maybe some day we'll run into each other again at some random national park/forest. Thanks for watching! --Andrew

[@AdventureArchives]

neil barker - Can't respond directly to your comment, but thank you for watching! Indeed, Kimchi is super refreshing. We will definitely keep posting! Thanks again!

[@dereksprigler3317]

My friend and I have hiked all around Ky, Red River Gorge, mammoth cave etc. Like one of the other comments, the time and effort and detail you all put into your work is incredible. I really appreciate the knowledge of plants and the well thought out voice overlay to the video. This is just quality work and I’m hooked. Thanks

[@MrKnuckles8978]

Terrific video, I watched the whole thing with my 4 year old daughter and she was glued to the screen! Thanks for taking us along. Subbed!

[@AdventureArchives]

MrKnuckles8978 We cannot tell you how much it means to us when we hear comments like this. It really makes us feel good to know that we're making stuff that people can all enjoy as a family. Thanks so much for watching and can't wait to make more stuff for you! -Robby

[@victoriateague9012]

I can't believe how I just found this but you made me cry and homesick I was raised here. Mammoth Cave was my school trip from grade school through higher school 🤣I live in another state now far from my beloved Kentucky.The Green River Can be very dangerous and the plants.But so beautiful. Oh and the snakes.

[@AdventureArchives]

That's awesome! I hope you get to visit Mammoth Cave again sometime soon to relive some of those memories. It's amazing how certain places can hold such cherished memories. Thanks for watching :)

[@jb0258]

The trips you guys do with canoes are so peaceful. Also, the bit with the bald eagle made me actually lol. With the music it felt like something outta Avatar The Last Airbender

[@henriklarsson5221]

How young and innocent you looked! Nice to see your change over the years.

[@1961markc]

The tracks you saw and thought was water fowl were wild turkey tracks on your 1st camp site. I also live in Ohio (SE). I enjoy your your trips and get out on the weekends myself. Keep up the good work!

[@AdventureArchives]

Ah, awesome! Good to know. Thanks so much for watching, and we'll definitely keep it up! Cheers :) -Andrew

[@toddboone1845]

This is my first video of you guys to watch, and was not disappointed. Ive got to go back and thank Survival Lily for suggesting your channel. Thanks again for sharing your adventure with us.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Todd Boone Thanks so much for watching! Survival Lily is awesome! We're glad you liked the adventure :)

[@carolinaprepper540]

Man !!!!! Top Knotch guys ! Top Knotch ! Great Job documenting your trip.! Thank You.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for watching! So glad you liked it!

[@Bill-YellowDogWelding]

Thank you for the great adventure video! It was great to sit back with a warm drink and enjoy your canoe trip. Love to canoe camp, have been doing it for over 50 years. Good way to get away from the crowd. Enjoyed your sleeping Bear trip too. I live in Traverse City and it's always nice to see folks from out of town enjoying our area. Good clean type of industry to have. Thanks again!

[@AdventureArchives]

Brazing Bill We loveeeeee Traverse City. Such good memories from there. -Robby

[@AuntJennyMarie]

Great production on this! It is always refreshing to see your neck of the woods through the eyes of others. It didn't get much more "down home" than at the Watermill!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Aunt Jenny Marie Thanks so much - Kentucky's a lovely place! Haha, Watermill was great. Is it mostly locals who go there? Or do they get lots of park visitors too? Thank you so much for watching, and glad you enjoyed it! -Andrew

[@TailEnd88]

Gliding on the water like that looks just so peaceful and relaxing. I loved the time-lapse of the night sky: beautiful. I hope you guys got more than one tour of the actual Mammoth Caves. They are so incredible!

[@goodmorninggilw2836]

Beautiful intro monologue

[@julieyang7]

Hubby and I have been binge watching your channel... You guys have it all.. fantastic Characters. Fantastic quality,. Lots of charm. Oh and I about fell out of my chair with the " bigfootie" comment.. We heard a strange hollowing in Colorado...

[@MrGeiermann]

Nice job fellas! It's great to see younger people getting into bushcrafting! You guys made me miss my old canoe even more. I see building a birch bark canoe in my future. Having a hard time without one. It's the best way to see the wilderness in my opinion. I spent nearly a month on a hilltop overlooking the Green River Valley, upstream from your trip, last October. You guys inspired me to plan on a Green River trip from my sister's property down to the caves at some point. Keep up the great work!

[@AdventureArchives]

MrGeiermann There's a great episode of Ray Mears where he builds a canoe. Loved the trip out there, so if you go, let us know how it was. -Robby

[@AdventureArchives]

MrGeiermann I just saw this comment, but wow, I would love to know more about that month you spent up there. Sounds amazing. And I can only imagine what it's like not having a canoe after owning one. I always want to get out canoeing more. Hope your trip to the river goes well! Thanks so much for watching! --Andrew

[@jeremyb.1977]

And yet another exciting trip. I have been on many canoe trips, but never one where I could camp out over night. I need to try that. All of my canoeing has been in the Mohican area of Ohio. Glad you guys had such great weather.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Jeremy Buchanan Thanks so much! This was actually my first canoe camping trip as well, I think. I really want to go on more. The only other one I've been on after this was a one nighter in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. Absolutely breathtaking. Is the little Miami River around there? I've gone canoeing on that river a couple times with friends. Hope you get to try canoe camping soon! Thanks so much for watching! -Andrew

[@linguinepast3743]

OMG. I’m so excited you did the mammoth caves we took our kids there last summer. We did an RV camping trip. Kayaked on that same peaceful river. The caves are amazing

[@chrisbutlerart]

Absolutely fantastic video. You're really good at this. I was a ranger/cave guide at Mammoth Cave for years, and you've captured the park beautifully. Subscribed!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much - that means a lot to us, especially from a former ranger and guide! It was a really beautiful place to explore. Thank you for watching, and for subscribing! -Andrew

[@PeaceLuvinMom]

Nice video! I love the random shots of nature along the river. I hope to float the Green River one day.

[@chuckiethethird7054]

That was really cool!... I live in the Northwest so I know the allure of moving water. If you want to check out another cave try Carlsbad Cavern in southeast New Mexico, be sure to arrive in the late afternoon so you can see the bats leaving the cave to feed, it's incredible.

[@kadymcawesome773]

Please do the adventure tour. It's six hours of a crazy underground adventure with a ton of crawling. I've done it twice and it's never the same. It's completely different from the Normal tours. Once in a lifetime tour and it's amazing.

[@dannybaker4641]

This is a great video guys.My sister and I like to kayak and are planning a 24 mile trip down a river.I'm glad someone knows who Calvin and Hobbes is.Be careful out there guys.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks, Danny. Calvin and Hobbes probably is a big reason we love the outdoors in the first place. -Robby

[@dannybaker4641]

AdventureArchives Be safe out there.

[@maverick4462]

Alan Watts an Edward Abbey two of my favorites. It was because of how Abbey talked about the Southwest that I packed my backpack and headed to the Canyon Country at 19. Thought I loved this channel before. Sure of it now😉

[@lennariddell7540]

Thanks for posting! I enjoyed the canoe trip it's a great trade off to trail blazing and the background sounds of the environment makes you feel like you're right there...love you guys. Carter Caves State Resort Park has some caves, lakes and trails in the area you might like to explore if you haven't already.

[@DonWilsondigginTimeUSA]

I really enjoyed your video. It shows a lot of character between friends who have a lot in common. the narration was spot on, and the I was absorbed in the trip as if I was there myself. Nature is awesome, and you all did a great job expressing it in your film. Thanks for sharing it with me.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Don Wilson (diggin Time USA) Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. We always worry about whether or not we really captured the feeling of being out in nature, so it's good to hear you say that. It never compares to the real thing, though! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers -Andrew

[@Carrie7357]

hmm that food at the end thanks guys it was wonderful love ya

[@rockinky1133]

Glad to see you guys at mammoth cave park! I'm very familiar with the place and grew up in the area.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Rockin' Ky It's a beautiful place! I had no idea before that there were so many things to do there. Thanks for watching :) -Andrew

[@poojasakhal4785]

My son did a dancy dance to the bald eagle music! Love you guys..you guys should get a series on Netflix.

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, that's a good song to do a dance to! Thanks so much, that's very flattering :) Maybe one day! Cheers -Andrew

[@jenniferdrake5846]

I love ll the videos I have seen so far. Thank you so much for taking us along with us and for teaching us so much. I am really enjoying it.

[@AAznguy]

I've watched all of your camping videos and I think this one is your best. Please do more canoe camping videos!

[@AdventureArchives]

+AAznguy You know, that is a good idea. We will see what we can do.

[@SushiLeader]

Wow seeing how far you guys have come from this video...really shows that if you stick to it you improve!

[@micariver6794]

Fantastic video guys, very well done!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

[@erickbolden2584]

My girlfriend and I did the same route this last Summer and went on all the islands you guys visited. Beautiful scenery. Breathtaking. Mammoth Cave Canoe and Kayaking were excellent, just as Matt Perez said. Headed to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Badlands National Park this Summer

[@AdventureArchives]

+Erick Bolden Awesome! Sleeping Bear Dunes is so amazing too! I recommend bringing some loose and light long pants to keep the black flies off of your ankles

[@erickbolden2584]

Thanks man! Great editing, by the way.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Erick Bolden Thank you! :)

[@BuckeyeHiker]

You guys just keep cranking out one good one after another! This trip is definitely going on our to do list for next year! My oldest daughter and I did a trip to Red River Gorge last July (the wilderness area not the crowded tourist spots) right at the peak of the rhododendron blooms that gave us the feel that we were in our own private Japanese garden. We camped right along a creek and some locals turned us on to an incredible hike that required us to hike in and directly down the creek (water shoes would have been nice but we toughed it out) to a place called Hells Kitchen. Was incredible!!! Was wondering where our next Kentucky trip would be, I think will take the whole family for this one! Thanks again gentlemen keep em coming!!!

[@AdventureArchives]

Glad you enjoyed. I always am happy to see when we give people new places to adventure to. We are planning a trip to Red River Gorge next year too, I am very excited! ~Bryan

[@AdventureArchives]

That trip sounds amazingly magical! I'm super excited to check this place out - I've heard so many things from so many people. Thanks so much for watching! --Andrew

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Excellent filming as always. I always learn something about plants by watching your videos and get ideas for camera shots for my own videos. Way to go and keep up the great work.

[@AdventureArchives]

Kibble135 Thanks, and do keep making videos, we'll be on the lookout for them.

[@ViolentKisses87]

Bravo! Bravo!! I really enjoyed coming along on your adventure if only by video. I took a canoeing trip two summers ago, it was my first time but it had some class 2 and class 3 rapids which made for adventure along side the more serine stretches.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it! That sounds awesome. Haha, we could probably use some canoeing classes ourselves. The river was pretty low, so we had really weak rapids when we had any. Sounds like it'd be fun! --Andrew

[@Beardman29]

Great video! Nice touch with the crazy music when the Bald Eagle appears! lol

[@AdventureArchives]

Beardman29 Haha thanks! Those cymbal-sounding things are used commonly in Beijing Opera. It seemed to fit pretty well, haha. Thanks again! -Andrew

[@superspytank]

Great video! Man, that food at the very end made my mouth water!

[@jacobgonzalez7132]

this videos are so good ..quality,content and info ..cant believe people arent subscribing

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! And thanks for watching :) -Andrew

[@AdventureArchives]

Jacob Thomas - Can't reply directly to your comment, but it's good to know this was helpful! Let us know how your trip goes. And thanks a bunch for watching! --Andrew

[@mattperez3618]

Mammoth cave kanoe and kayak is great, they recommended the cave as well. Great vid

[@AdventureArchives]

+Matt Perez Yeah, they were super friendly. We should go back and have a reunion or something.

[@WyeExplorer]

+AdventureArchives Nice to be in the midst of super friendly people who are responsive. It's a nice feeling as opposed to being ignored.

[@PressmanBricks]

Going through from Season 1 on. Loving the channel so far. Looking forward to getting to your 4K episodes

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoy them :) Cheers! -Andrew

[@EmmanuelMachler]

What a great adventure!! Awesome work guys, yet again you have shared with us an inspirational adventure. As a movie maker I am in envy. As an adventurer... I'm jealous as hell!! Keep up the fantastic work, all the very best guys!

[@AdventureArchives]

Emmanuel Machler Thanks, Emmanuel! Maybe one day we'll find a way to have an adventure with you in Australia (that is where you are at, correct?). Take care and thanks again! -Robby

[@EmmanuelMachler]

An adventure with you guys would be one of the best I'm sure! Yea Robby I'm in australia, with plans to cross the pond one day. One way or another a camp with Adventure Archives is on the agenda!! All the best.

[@neildbarker]

Great video as always! Love the quote from former PM Pierre Trudeau re: canoeing. Kimchi makes a great camping food as well. Thanks for sharing and keep posting!

[@ray5220]

was planning on moving to KY in 2016 and after watching this it just makes me want to go more

[@AdventureArchives]

ray5220 It's a beautiful place! Some other areas in KY we want to visit are Red River Gorge and Land Between the Lakes. Thank you for watching! -Andrew

[@scottwhitt4218]

Probably Coyote is what you were hearing! Great video, just couldn't stop watching. I have lived in Kentucky most of my life and still have not made the trip to Mammoth cave. You guys just made me want to plan the trip.

[@WoodsTrekkinAdventures]

Another GREAT video! I think this one knocks my last favorite of yours into 2nd place! Very, very well done.

[@AdventureArchives]

WoodsTrekka' Thank you, glad we didn't disappoint!

[@AdventureArchives]

Outa curiosity, which was your last favorite? haha --Andrew

[@WoodsTrekkinAdventures]

They have all been enjoyable. However, my previous favorite was either Zaleskie because it was tight but loose, or dolly sods because of the location.

[@ronmueller5008]

Looks like you-all had a nice float. I prefer solo paddling and once you perfect your J-stroke, you might too. Paddling is like hiking, but you can move silently and catch wildlife that do not notice you, and yet, bears and snakes cannot sneak up on you. Also, pack weight is not an issue. Thanks for sharing your adventures! :D

[@AdventureArchives]

+Ron Mueller I love solo paddling! I went to Algonquin this past summer and was practicing my J-stroke. I had someone else in the canoe but I was the only one paddling in the back, and I was getting the hang of it. It's such a wonderfully peaceful activity. And like you said, we got to see some amazing wildlife - a bull moose one day, then a cow moose and her calf the next. We're hoping to do another canoeing episode this summer. Thanks for the comment and for watching!! Cheers :) -Andrew

[@Bad_Batch_65]

I think this is your best video and I've seen alot of them. More water trips guys

[@jasonsoutthere7733]

Rock wiping,,,I like it! Trying it on my next hike!

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, hope it goes well! Just remember to use the smooth ones ;) Cheers! -Andrew

[@lorahall6985]

I just love watching you all. I am learning more ans and more

[@tadpolethehunter]

Very well done guys. Good job. Makes me want to go kayaking too.

[@AdventureArchives]

We hope you get to go paddling sometime soon! I guess it's pretty cold now though, depending on where you live

[@imalreadytracer3014]

im going kayaking and fishing there with my dad tommorow,this video is SO SO enjoyable to get me hype to go there :]

[@TedsOutdoors]

The wait for this video felt so long... but it was totally worth it! Keep up the awesome work guys!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! Glad to hear that! And we will try - we just recently filmed a winter camping episode. Thanks again!

[@CanadianMang]

Really great video, and you guys are really cool and down to earth.

[@AdventureArchives]

Erik Westerveld Thanks so much, we're glad you like it. We try, haha. Thanks again --Andrew

[@sierratango7364]

Hi guys, This is the first video of yours that I've seen. Can't wait to watch more. Thanks for sharing. ATB Sam

[@AdventureArchives]

Awesome, very glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for watching! --Andrew

[@NerdNoisy]

Excellent video. Loved the message, the editing and the music. I know that doing a video like this requires a lot of work, but I'm sure it was fun to put together. Great job!

[@AdventureArchives]

NerdNoise Thanks a bunch! Glad you enjoyed it, and you're absolutely right. Lots of work, but lots of fun.

[@alyceGoesRound]

refreshing to see bryan talk also savage that he had all the needed gear lul XD

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, he is definitely the gear guy of the group!

[@MrRbillharz]

Great video guys! If you enjoyed the Green you may also like Elk Horn Creek.

[@AdventureArchives]

+XS4EYES Thanks for watching, and thank you for the suggestion!

[@blackhatch46]

Those tracks were some type of cat, bobcat most likely. Feline prints do not show claws since they retract them, and canine print always show claws since they can not retract them.

[@AdventureArchives]

Awesome to know - thanks! Yeah, I knew they didn't look like a dogs, but I had no idea what it might've been. I gotta study up, haha. Thanks for the comment! --Andrew

[@AdventureArchives]

AdventureArchives Must have been the sound we heard during the night? -Robby

[@joedeardo2855]

They where defenitly bobcat I have one that's circuit goes right through my yard same 👣

[@X_explorer]

Great channel! I love observing nature, discover and meditate...

[@jacobme1031]

Awesome Video fellas! I'm actually planning on doing the same trip via Kayak in a few weeks. So, this was very helpful,

[@blkcpdconure]

Superior Hiking Trail. You'll enjoy it!

[@AdventureArchives]

blkcpdconure Thanks for the suggestion! Looks pretty incredible from what I can tell. We're hoping to get out to Minnesota sometime soon. Boundary Waters has also been in our sights. Not sure when we'll get there though. Thanks for watching! -Andrew

[@warbonet65]

Dudes, watching you guys eat, is making me hungry! Lol...

[@AdventureArchives]

hoobilly 65 Every time I watch them myself I have to get up and eat.

[@AdventureArchives]

hoobilly 65 Haha, whenever I watch eating scenes (in any show/movie), I want to eat exactly what the person on the video is eating. Unless it's Silence of the Lambs or something. --Andrew

[@warbonet65]

I'll try the smokes anchovies and pine needle tea, that's it dude! lol...

[@brandonthompson7318]

Lol I love the water mill. Eat there every time I visit.

[@david17500]

So jealous of all your adventures lol. Hopefully I can get in a position to do the same! This is like the 5th vid i've watched of yours in the last couple days. a great job capturing the experience

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks a bunch, David! Glad you're enjoying the videos. We've got two episodes coming out relatively soonish, so enjoy those old ones until then :) -Robby

[@FatherGoat]

Love the Demolition Man reference - well done, as always!

[@obodude71]

I see my exit! Im really enjoying your videos, thanks!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Don Walker As in highway exit? Do you live in the 513? Haha. Thanks so much for watching! -Andrew

[@wadesteed8045]

great episode guys just btw in Virginia the Shenandoah river provides great float trips lots if islands to camp on if love to see you guys float trip our river

[@xAnangelx]

Great Video! you guys are awesome!!

[@AdventureArchives]

Scott Bronson Thanks so much! Really glad you like it! -Andrew

[@whiterabbit7548]

Someone might have suggested this already, but when I am canoeing solo i use a double ended kayaking paddle which really helps with control and speed. Might be good especially with a novice canoeist. Though I am sure by now you are all more experienced on the water. Anyways, love your videos. Cheers, - J

[@billygoatfilms7531]

Brilliant video very relaxing to watch it was like I was traveling with you. Mike from across the pond in England.

[@AdventureArchives]

+mike quinlan Thanks for the kind words Mike!

[@Ancientmagics1]

Love the videos guys. You guys drove right by where I live in this video! (Northern Kentucky). Going to red river gorge to camp tomorrow!

[@AdventureArchives]

+Adam Harrison Awesome! We had a great time in Red River Gorge, how did your trip end up going? We'd like to go back to RRG for some future adventures :) Cheers, and thanks for watching! -Andrew

[@Ancientmagics1]

AdventureArchives Went great man, going down there again on Saturday. Going to check out some of the wildflowers! I love you knowledge of plants, Do you know if there's any books to learn about the plants and trees around the gorge area?

[@AdventureArchives]

Awesome! Hmm, I'm not sure about books specifically for the Gorge, but there are lots of good books that are useful for the Eastern US in general. Newcomb's Wildflower Guide is a nice place to start. I've also heard good things about Audubon's Wildflower and Tree guides: astore.amazon.com/advarch-20/detail/0375402322 astore.amazon.com/advarch-20/detail/0394507614 Hope this helps! -Andrew

[@siggeeriksson4561]

[@ChateauGuitars]

What is the name of that bug at 40:33 Thank you for posting such informative videos. Your love of nature comes shining through.

[@AdventureArchives]

Hmm, I'm actually not too sure! I tried looking it up, but couldn't find much, sorry. My guess would be a nymph of some insect from the river. But thank you for watching, and thanks for your kind words! Cheers :) -Andrew

Mammoth Cave is one place I've been but you must have been on a different tour. The one I was one started in the same place but finished in a very tall awesome "room" full of beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. It had a metal "circular" stairway (actually square) that we had to climb up to get out. For one with acrophobia, however, it was kind of scary because the stairs weren't solid; that is, they were very lacy and you could see through them all the way up. LOL At one point they turned out all the lights so you could experience total darkness. Did they do that on your tour? The scenery along the river was stupendous and it was so placid and peaceful. Viewing the beauties of nature is somehow so different from the standpoint of paddling in a river vs. walking along a trail. I particularly loved the morning fog-shrouded shots. It was like something out of a fairy tale, so mystical. This was definitely my favorite of the ones that I've viewed from the very beginning.
