[@barbaranneboyer7997]

Nicole is the perfect match for the group,funny,comfortable to be with and a great camp cook..hope to see more of her on the trail with the Archive guys..thanks for the enjoyable videos

[@helensmith3121]

Her exhibitionism is disgusting keep it clean as it has always been .

[@therealtomhanksforrestgump]

@@helensmith3121chill the fuck out helen a sports bra won’t kill you

[@joyce8229]

Wish she still chilled with the guys ❤

[@chandlerhaun4724]

Thank you guys so much for shedding some positive light on my home state. A lot of people just see the bad in West Virginia and overlook the beauty that still lives here. Keep up the good work!

[@travellingmojo]

Nicole really brings a different dynamic and positive energy to the episodes she has been on. I really like her. Hope she tags along other episodes with you guys.

[@AdventureArchives]

It's true! And you may soon be in luck... Thank you for watching!

[@helensmith3121]

Can she be persuaded to keep her undies on in public?@@AdventureArchives

[@robertmeintzer]

ALL OF YOU SEEM VERY INTELLIGENT AND HAPPY. YOU SEEM TO HAVE A POETIC SPEECH ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU DESCRIBE THINGS! I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you for your kind words! We're happy you enjoyed the video, and thanks so much for watching! -Andrew

[@umbrellacorp.]

Awesome video. 😎 25:24 That stuffed potatoes are a great idea, thanks.👍💯 My wife and I will definitely try it in our next camping trip. 🏕 37:38 Yeah, eating wild mushrooms is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. 🍄

[@Pants13]

The plant love is gorgeous! Very helpful too your knowledge is much appreciated

[@sgent]

ROBBIE, you make this music??? You're the man.

[@williambeck6364]

DUDES & DUDETTES! I'm a little late to the party, but this episode is just SO amazing. This is the second time I've watched it, and it just gets better the second time. Thank you for all the hard work. And Nicole is a great addition to the group....she fits right in with you guys! Only positive thoughts for your efforts.

[@susannewcomer9614]

This video was great on so many levels. First, you always eat much better meals when Nicole is on the trips, and I love her sense of humor. The scenery on this trip really beautiful and Robbie's music was so perfect, especially the Renaissance style counterpoint with those haunting intervals of fourths and fifths. The philosophical musings were appropriate as well. As humans we do need the experience of wild nature, especially in the Spring season to restore our souls.

[@movdej4783]

I like the music in all your videos.

[@hamburger-fries]

Wow this episode was incredibly entertaining! Next pay check I will donate to your Patreon page! Keep up these group camping / hikes! Also it was nice to see a female addition to your adventures. She seems like a quality individual.

[@egcadventures1138]

Hey. Anytime I watch your videos I just feel like I want to hike so bad. Thanks again I really enjoyed your videos.

[@annesanpedro4365]

Seems like it's always been like a camping feast whenever Nicole is around...just look how delicious those foods are 😁😊

[@tesolforlife5826]

I like your outlook on life. You guys rock!!

[@toddowens5602]

You guys had me geeking over the coffee, pure happiness:) I'm getting ready to go out in the woods for long-term. I need a break from society

[@AdventureArchives]

Have fun!! Always good to take a break

[@odpbodpb]

Thanks guys,,great stuff,,,my family has been in WV for 100's of years,,,so it is great to see it again since I have been gone for a long time,,,,,I hope as y'all grow older you still keep your adventures alive,,,life does tend to get in the way of them,,,,when you put something off today,you wake up 20 years later wishing you hadn't,,,,,yes it does go by that fast,,,,

[@OrionThrower]

You are great story tellers. Love the videos.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much! That's great to hear, and I'm glad you like the videos. Cheers! -Andrew

[@tamikawilliams5688]

You all are so wonderful. Thank you for the gift of this channel.

[@pilgrimcarolee7294]

Andrew, Golden Seal is Extremely valued!!!!

[@ArronC]

I visited the New River Gorge bridge with my family and then we ate at the same pizza place afterwards. They have root beer on tap and it was literally the best root beer I have ever tasted in my life.

[@Bad_Batch_65]

Your videos make me get out of the house and into the woods or to the water. Your videos make me smile. Enthusiastic innocence, unjaded eyes.Thanks guys...and girl who prepares such wondrous hobo meals and the only one of the guys that fishes( shame on you others). Pure inspiration! It's good to have you guys back home. The four of you are gonna make some awesome videos. God Bless

[@stephenwarrington9719]

I have to agree about the monologue at the end. Beautiful video guys and girl.

[@Jaspor123]

There's few instances in my life when I know I'm going to be the most relaxed and at ease that I can be... when I'm going out on my own adventures, and when I'm watching the amazing trips you share with us. Nicole hit the nail on the head, and its something I always try to keep in mind, the simple things in life are often the most satisfying. Thanks as always for sharing your adventures and for continuing to inspire us to get out and enjoy life's simple pleasures!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for the kind words! It is true, simple things can really make you feel very fulfilled and happy. Cheers, and thanks for watching! -Andrew

[@warefairsoda]

The morning coffee making was quite funny.

[@AdventureArchives]

:D Thanks for watching!

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

THE NIGHT SKY WAS GORGEOUS!

[@AdventureArchives]

It's always amazing seeing all the stars out at night when there's less light pollution. Thanks for watching! :) -Andrew

[@srinman]

Loved the whole adventure, but the flames glowing on the trees as the stars circled above: AWSOME!

[@stevemazz3121]

May I add to Devon Bumpkin comments on your " cinematography, the narration and general camaraderie between you guys ". You give a good balance of information with views, plus you share your camp site set ups and cooking which I find as interesting as any part of a backpacking adventure. I other words I don't feel like it a waste of time to enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work... When I was your age hiking we didn't have all the video options you get to enjoy today. Add a few GO PRO's to hats or chest rigs to get some extra editing options (as it you need them). Just saying take advantage of everything you can to keep the memories alive. OH and again... thank for sharing.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much for the kind comments Steve!!! I really would like to look into a simple GoPro setup for when we get into situations where filming or setting up a tripod shot just isn't practical. ~Bry

[@DrewBlack-hq2pk]

Another fantastic film guys. They get better and better. Excellent camera work. Music really works with film. Great commentary. I would go as far to say television quality. Bring on the next one!

[@jakebates5918]

Y'all seem like awesome friends and people to go camping with! When you were trying to make the perfect cup of coffee (or tea?) was so adorable. Y'all are the greatest.

[@ujjc001]

Your videos are great, you are like a hidden gem on KZbin. Please, keep making these videos! Also, you should travel to Northern Minnesota in the fall to hike the Superior Hiking Trail when the leaves are all changing :) Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures!!

[@nicolelynnslosser9363]

ujjc001 #boundarywaters

[@GrantSimons2]

Superior Hiking Trail, Chippewa Forest, St. Croix, Glacial Lakes, Voyageurs, Gunflint. Yeah you guys should really come here. You'd love it.

[@hulaboy3]

After a 3 months long road trip and random hikes in the west I'm happy to be back home to watch your videos and feel at ease again as if I was back in the mountains :) GRAZIE

[@sunshinetomato]

Another great video! And it's nice to see Nicole again. :) It's interesting, all the nice things you have to say about spring. Spring has always been my least favourite season, and I associate a lot of the 'all is right with the world' feelings with fall: bringing in the harvest, settling down for sleep, making a cozy home.

[@woodsandcreeks]

Bring her with you guys more often she's fun around and skilful.

[@suewest9567]

We LOVE watching your videos of our beautiful West Virginia wilderness. My hubby and I just found your videos and when there isn't anything on TV we go to KZbin. The video is beautiful and the information is great. You are teaching this old teacher a thing or two. Makes me wish I had your adventures 40 years ago. For now we will camp and hike with our class A RV and watch your adventures.

[@TheLaughingHero1]

Hey guys, I wanted to seriously Thank You for these videos. It was watching your hikes and hearing how you don't have to conquer the trail that finally pushed me. Instead of sitting here watching the outside pass me, I finally took my first hike today. I have had health problems related to my sedentary lifestyle and now I plan to beat them. If I had the money I would support you on Patreon, but alas, no cash, but again from the bottom of my heart, Thank You - Kyle.

[@AdventureArchives]

Kyle, thanks so much for your comment! It really means a lot to us when we hear stories like this. I'm glad you went on your first hike, and I hope it was enjoyable! No worries at all about patreon, your viewership is enough, and thanks so much for watching! -Andrew

[@roechel1]

Loved the relaxed pace. My fav.

[@undeadly1103]

i come back to this episode time after time. nicole brings an amazing spirit to the group.

[@thenorthshore6472]

Horse hoof fungus were used in ancient times for transporting fire. You can place a small ember in the center of one, wrap it up with moss and it'll smolder for a long time. These embers were then used to start the next fire. Another great video...bravo!

[@terizumbusch8408]

What an absolutely beautiful forest, This is a fun hike and nicole is a nice edition.

[@scottdunbar4898]

Thank you so much guys...and gal. I recommend watching this twice: once just for the beauty of the experience and once to appreciate the technical artistry of your filming talents. A++++

[@criscoleman]

What a wonderful variety of wildflowers! I never see anything like that in the Spring in NW MO state parks and conservation areas-very few wildflowers and not a lot of variety either. Of course, there is nothing to compare with the scenery in New River Gorge either, having no gorges to speak of, being mostly farmland. And Glade Creek was really nice with all its rapids and waterfalls and being right next to the trail the whole way. Thanks for the nice adventure.

[@BryceNewbold]

Nice job again guys. Nice to see Nicole again as well, she adds good perspectives to the videos.

[@claramullen]

I needed that great journey with you guys and nicole. If only the philosophy of it was put to realization of the world we would truly be united Thank you

[@spiritualoutdoors7759]

Great Video, beautiful teamwork and blend with nature. Thank you

[@christopherconnard6873]

I grew up on glade, as a matter of fact I was the one who stacked those rocks as chairs where you camped

[@AdventureArchives]

Oh wow that's really cool! Well, thank you - we definitely got a lot of use out of them :) Thanks for watching!

[@dbstewart4496]

Backpacking >25 years and still learning. 😀, always a good time when I can learn something new. Gonna try out those recipes and your firestarter. Thank you.

[@virginiarocks]

Lovely water and woods. Quite enjoyed the flower and mushroom id

Thank you for this excellent hiking story! The night sky scenes are especially magical. Cheers from Finland.

[@ericmiller5642]

great plant id, and attitude

[@yuhc4815]

yall are so poetic... i love it! lol

[@johnkulcsar5801]

Really enjoy the biology lessons on every trek. THANKS

[@loganforren8127]

I was in that exact same spot you went swimming in at about a year later. Always great to see someone come to my home state and love the experience.

[@snowcrash512]

You guys always put out such amazing videos, this could be a high budget tv production.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the videos, and thanks for watching :)

[@jingbar]

Thanks Guys for a wonderful episode, the quality of picture and sound is outstanding Bob

[@vickiwalker3486]

Beautiful. I really enjoy imagining along with your efforts !!

[@samsmom1491]

I'm binge watching your videos as I just discovered your channel...new subscriber! Hard to believe you haven't shown up on my feed before this, but am thanking the god of algorithms for it. I always wanted to hike the PCT, but at almost 60 with arthritis and a bad back, that dream will remain unfulfilled. I'm not far from the New River gorge and drove through there in December. It's beautiful, but I was dismayed at the scalped mountains mining for coal.

[@stevendaley7862]

I’m always amazed at the stuff that comes out of your packs. Sometimes it’s a giant frying pan or a full size aluminum foil box but it always makes me chuckle because you guys take what makes you happy and what will make your trip better. Great work guys !

[@azndude265]

Haha, i need this playlist for my backpacking trip. It makes me feel like a final fantasy rpg.

[@guitarlearningtoplay]

Finally finished and still humbled by the beauty of this video. I can see so much effort went into capturing every aspect. I appreciate all the scenes you must've had to film twice like the waterfall scene and capturing all 4 of you walking on the bridge. There are so many things that are well though put out and then there is just mellow majesty of the nature you captured. I like all the botany mixed in, trying plants and mushrooms. Most of all I just like the hangin parts where you guys are being yourselves. Nicole with her high fives, all the bits of silliness and wisdom you all drop. Just cool guy, thank you so much for filming this and sharing it with the world. Keep up the great work!

[@johnrengifo8164]

by far best video I have seen with tons of information.

[@lideadhead]

Man I really enjoy this channel. The videos that get put out are produced very well. And the group is very fun to watch. Andrew dropping bomb knowledge on those plants and fungi.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much! :) Glad you like it

[@rorngsorn5272]

Love the soothing music and waterfall. Andrew's knowledge of plants, flowers, and mushrooms make me want to learn more and explore as well.

[@trailcat71]

I think it would be slick if you guys would do a video where you go to the Asian market and sort of go through the aisles pointing out what is good for backpacking and what foods you would put together. Some of the stuff you guys make looks super good! Your videos are amazing, calming and inspire me to dream for my own adventures. Thanks

[@karlgreif_media]

Love the New River Gorge! White water rafting is a must down there. Pies and Pints for the win!!

[@sarahslovely08]

Really awesome, love how you all come together and make such amazing adventures.

[@Karobe]

Yassss! 1hr + Adventure are back! You guys are awesome! Please keep making these!

[@DevonBumpkin]

I have only recently found your channel. But in the last couple weeks I have watched most of your content and I think it's amazing. The cinematography, the narration and general camaraderie between you guys is inspiring and SO enjoyable to watch. Question, have you ever thought about coming over to England or Scotland for one of your adventures? I can definitely recommend it :)

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you've been enjoying the videos :) And yes, absolutely - we would love to roam the English countryside, or to hike the Scottish highlands some day. Do you have any favorite places? Cheers! -Andrew

[@DevonBumpkin]

Your welcome Andrew! I've lived about a mile away from Dartmoor which is in the SW of England all my life and that landscape still takes my breath away to this day, I've hiked in many places but there is just something about Dartmoor, I think you guys would love it! And with Scotland you will be spoilt for choice, areas around Loch Lomund is like being put smack down into The Witcher 3 landscape, utterly beautiful! Can wait for your next adventure!

[@justgween7573]

Devon Bumpkin ok this is really off-topic but your sims building skills are amazing

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Bravo, guys! Really enjoyed this one. I especially like the 'surprisingly seductive tan lines' on the toast. hahaha And I'm always amazed at Andrew's encyclopedic knowledge of the local flora!

[@truazngrl]

awesome video guy.

[@PradeepMenon666]

LMAO Robby always jumps into water the same way - on his side, like he's trying to crash through glass... its hilarious 8:03

[@AdventureArchives]

Hahaha very true

[@seblepage]

Your videos are truly a gift. You have an uncanny ability to make me feel like I am going on the adventure with you. The universe being benevolent theme came to me at an interesting time in my life as I struggle to believe it sometimes. I admire your optimism. Your videos always put me at peace when I watch them.

[@virginiaorru6848]

How wonderful to share nature and human companionship with all of you. Love the videos. My family was from WVA so I miss all of this. Thanx for such a refreshing video. gigi

[@Hilly2826]

Loved the episode! Beautifully shot. After watching this, I'm itching for an overnight hike :) Really enjoyed all of the plant and flower information in this episode too. You guys should bring Nicole along more often because she's awesome. I'm always looking forward to what food she's going to make!

[@NewSparky97]

Love Nicole in this! She reminds me of me!

[@musicisbrilliant]

Oh my god I love you guys. Another truly delicious treat. Many many thanks. Hope you guys never stop going out there and making these!!!

[@vicksterhawk]

This was a great video.. uplifting, good to see such a close group of friends doing what they love to do and sharing it with us... you are very lucky :)

[@tysonbelko4358]

I love the music in this one! It sounds like the perfect soundtrack to an epic rpg of old.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

AWESOME. LOVE THE COLORS OF THE WATER & ALL THE FLOWERS!

[@kjcantgame]

Part product review show, part foraging show, part cooking show and all camping show! There's like several mini shows in this one big show!

[@AdventureArchives]

:D Thanks for watching as always, my man! -Andrew

[@kjcantgame]

AdventureArchives always! One of your best episodes yet!

[@shannonross2536]

My sister was married on a bridge on this trail. And was proposed to at Kate's falls. Loved watching the video!

[@hillrunner2]

That was fun the watch. Thank you.

[@silentdancer981]

Awesome video! Its great when Nicole joins you guys! Thanks for sharing your awesome journeys!

[@BreakOutMinistries84]

As a native West Virginian I say come back any time. Check out Monongahela National Forest for your next trip. Side note on yards. Having a healthy green yard became a status symbol. It meant you were wealthy enough you didn't have to have a garden. Theres your fun random fact.

[@Dmattsonlaurent]

New Patron here! Been watching you guys for the past couple months now, keep up the great work! I know someone has already mentioned it, but you guys would kill it on the north shore of Minnesota. Superior hiking trail to be exact, very underrated area. Thank you for such great content, it's been a pleasure to watch!

[@AdventureArchives]

We'd love to do the Superior Hiking Trail some day!

[@tamarahole6963]

This hike is now on my Bucket list! I enjoy your videos, so informative, fun, and love what you stand for! Pack in/pack out!

[@ChrisWilliamsRMWpigeon]

Finally got round to watching this with my new headphones, amazing music as always, well done and hats off to you guys, loving the campfire vibes too, I always feel just as excited as you guys when that fire starts, Andrews speeches always gets me teary and reminds me that I'm not alone xx can't wait to see the next adventure as always. P.S please take Thomas with you, drag him if you have too, peace

[@movdej4783]

Your video is totally fun to watch. I just subscribed! love to watch it more... I'm very impressed with Andrew's knowledge of the flora, mushroom, and greens.

[@movdej4783]

A good cook from the fire pit is totally deliciouuuuus..

[@1903A3shooter]

WATCHED AGAIN, one of the best videos ever made. Dave.

[@trevinshort2192]

doing this trail next week for my 18th birthday thanks to you guys. Y’all got me into backpacking when i found the channel last year and i’ve been doing it ever since. can’t wait to try to trail. fantastic video as always. you guys are so criminally underrated.

[@strickysbackpackingadventures]

Wow! Congrats on another awesome adventure and video! You guys need to find a way to do this full time!

[@yusux]

watching this while high is so damn relaxing...

[@bradleyhanneken]

Another amazing video!

[@SethDombachProductions]

So glad to contribute to such and amazing production as what you guys do

[@AdventureArchives]

We appreciate it, and it helps a lot! Thanks as always for watching! -Andrew

[@ncgirlfromtx]

Awesome video! The waterfalls, the trails, and the spud plugs! I'll be trying those out. I love the New River Gorge!

[@nouslee1638]

If these videos were all put into CDs as a collection, I would buy it in a heart beat.

[@sarsaparila]

I appreciate the slight Zelda themes in the music. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the next one.

[@ericostlie6487]

Thank you guys so much for the mention at the end. AND for saying my last name correctly..

[@AdventureArchives]

Of course! Thank you for your support! Haha, I'm curious how people usually say it now. Cheers! -Andrew

[@erick6014]

Far and away, you guys have the best cinematography of all the outdoor channels I've ever seen. And yet this episode you have turned up the quality even more. Many subtle touches. You deserve everything your effort brings you, and more.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for your kind words Eric!
