sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any help you can offer me
This channel is criminally underrated. How you guys only have 139k subscribers is a mystery. I discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago and can't stop binge watching them. Your production quality is top notch... better than 3/4s of the stuff on TV. You need your own show on Discovery. I almost feel like I am camping and seeing nature with you guys. Very authentic and made me want to start hiking and seeing the trails in IL and IN since I live in Chicago. Good job and please keep making videos.
I like to keep a mini roll of duct tape when I go hiking. You can use it as athletic tape, foot blister protection or prevention, also to fix gear etc.… possibilities are endless. Also, to save space with the tape I like to take from a larger roll and roll it around an old credit card. Just my two cents. Great video and great solo hike! Adventure Archives is on another level!
Gotta be real...as I do subscribe to AdventureArchives...I like your shows primarily for Andrews insights on local faunas 🤷 There are alot of channels out there for hiking and alot of them are the same thing over and over. What I like....is the 3 of you bringing in your different insights....that made it feel special...non-partying friends backpacking in a forest and taking us along and learning something on most episodes. Single...I am not of fan of any of them. Not BAD...just, not as good as the ones with all 3. Just being honest why I started watching your channel in the first place Otherwise..... yeah, production value is 100% pro. Content for the most part is equally professional. And in the end, I just want to thank the team for putting out so much content over the years. It helps inspire people to get out there and not be afraid to take chances :-)
I think it genuinely depends on the perspective, I am from the Midwest so I love seeing my area in some of his hikes and also just seeing some of the other solo hikes he’s done. They all bring wonderful things but I do enjoy some chill and more relaxed solo hikes sometimes. It’s just nice the production quality is that great!!!
It’s called widening his stance. He really wasn’t built for FAME. (Or hiking) the Cub Scouts told him he’d never make it. But thank goodness for not listening to the 6 year old experts!
Bless you Robbie! Singlehandedly giving us AA content, despite a hurt ankle. I loved your reflection on holding people to unreasonable standards. And the freeze dried ice cream sandwich was priceless.
Don't worry about cutting your hikey short. When hiking, as in life, you have to make good decisions. Hiking is not where you start or stop, but rather the space an time in between those two points. Love your vids, I was thinking about you a lot as I was hiking the Timberline a few weeks ago. Thank you for inspiration and knowledge
That hat is great and very becoming! You’re like a young Indiana Jones! I also enjoy your stream of consciousness narration. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!
as amazing as the hikes with the entire group are , Robby has some pretty epic solo hikes ...Keep making more videos guys i have nearly seen every single one. Number 1 channel on youtube right now!!!!!
Your solo hiking videos are very therapeutic. They have a very meditative, Henry Thoreau-esque feel to them. I enjoy watching them when I'm on the treadmill or trying to fall asleep. Keep up the good work!
I've been following for almost two years now and I'm obsessed with y'all's campfire cooking, especially when wild mushrooms are Incorporated.I watch y'all to decompress after work, and it just brings everything back down. Thanks again for the epic videos, from Lou. KY. p.s. I just got my Adventure Archives hoodie and I'm loving how comfy it is!!
That working water pump is really cool! I'm glad you were able to make the most of your trip. I've had to hike out 9 miles on an injured foot and it was brutal.
Not too often do I get to see my own home region featured in something of this quality and from the perspective of a non-local visitor. Glad to see others enjoying the areas I grew-up in and still (more or less) call home. It is sad that habitat her in SE WI is so incredibly fragmented, and even large parts of Kettle Moraine is fragmented and narrow with development bearing down on it, but it is still great to have what we have, and the area is pretty unique.
It was Interesting seeing your take on a trail I hike at least once a year. I was just on it less than a month ago. In case your interested, that hand pump is the water source for Shelter #1. There's a trail from the pump to the shelter, but it's probably easier to go the way you did. Glad to see your ankle has improved and sorry you could'nt finish your hike. On another note. If you go in the off season, Devils Lake State Park has some nice trail you can hike on too with some nice views. The Ice Age Trail goes through the park too!
Great video, as usual. I am from this area, and hiked The Ice Age Trail, Zillmer loop often. Many times, the 6 mile loop with Cub Scouts….we usually hiked early spring or early fall to avoid mosquitoes . In early fall…there is SO much fruit planted along the trail, that you can literally eat your way through it! Even so, you keep Cub Scouts moving with a constant refuel of Snickers. It’s actually a pretty nice trail, and yes, you DO see all the various type of glacial land forms. Thank you so much for visiting my home…I just love all your shows, and hope to see one from the BWCA and Quetico Provincial Park Canada.
You picked a beautiful place to start on the IAT. For years I lived in Eagle/Palmyra and the IAT out there is filled with winding cliffs, meadow, pines, deep gourges, and springs. Pure beauty.
I know you hate random stranger internet advice- but get some KT tape for emergencies! It has saved me so many times, plus they have a format for ankle stability too, so I use it to prevent injury now as well.
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this beautifully filmed, informative and entertaining video. I really enjoyed it. That was a pretty cool area for a hike. All the best to you for your health and safety. 🤗
I really appreciate this and enjoy your outlook and creativity. So glad I found you and Adventure Archives during this Covid “adventure”. Been a source of light during trying times.
New sub here, and I'm catching up on your videos and just love this solo journey. When you finally get to Shelter 2 and wrapped your ankle a bit, how many of us in the home audience were yelling at the screen: ELEVATE YOUR FOOT...ELEVATE YOUR FOOT...DUDE, ELEVATE YOU FOOT! xxoo
The pain of injuries on the trail... that last mile on an injury is the worst! Out on the Long Trail I did my knee in on day 2, longest last mile of my life. Stayed at a shelter as well. Next morning I had the same internal conflict you did. Keep going or do the smart thing and head out. Another great video though. Hope your ankle is doing better.
Did you know your state could make HIM famous? He needs to add something to the show, like go to the shops in the area and use the postal service in the area. Like, add something to life in these remote areas. Like, buy ME something cool and post it to me on the other side of the planet. He could up date the show to an INTERNET SHOPPING SHOW.
Thank you for taking us with you. The mom in me was planning your rescue - would you hitch hike to your car? Go to the bitter end? Use tent pole as a crutch? So glad you had already moved your car closer. You and your friends are so great to watch!
Super cool hat. Personally, I find a good rain hat far more comfortable than the hood of my raincoat. Also, when the mosquitoes are bad, a net to go over one’s head is a blessing.
Sending good vibes and healing energy, Robby! Great video thand for always brightening my day a little more! Happy trails! 🙏💛🌟👍💕☮️Great music🎶happiness👂🎶
That was the most beautiful video Ive seen in a very long time. You caught the peaceful vibe, the goldenrod and angel lace and the essence so well.The editing and the music were so great and love that Lenard Cohen hat! Spot on. Hope your ankle was tended to. Shine On,Robby.
While it's all fine and good to watch videos of perfect hiking days, I prefer the ones with challenges. Learning thought processes and outcomes of the decisions is practically invaluable in helping make my own decisions when faced with the unexpected.
Went to Oshkosh last October and had a great time day hiking in Waukau Creek Nature Reserve. Never heard of the Ice Age Trail and if I did I would have planned to spend a day or two there. Thanks again for the great video.
I take my pizza seriously ;). This was true Chicago style, aka "Tavern Style", crispy thin crust, square cut..from a great neighborhood family run shop. Deep dish is the touristy "Chicago style".
Always awesome to see the crew complete and adventuring together, but if one good thing has come out of the pandemic its more AA solo vids! Sorry about that ankle man, that’s a bummer but still looked like an incredible hike.
Started watching about a year ago. Loved the adventures you take and you have inspired me to start hiking/ camping. I also started my own channel. Keep up the good work.
Bad ankles, suggestions; Support - high top hiking shoes ( keens), cling wraps, hiking poles ( Costco $20.00), light weight pack & gear one piece at a time. When you get a ankle sprain soaking in cold river or lake water to reduce the swelling. Hope this helps. 🍕🏕🥾
Awesome video! Just stumbled across your channel. Live just 30 minutes south of Kettle Moraine North and camped in B3 (shelter 3 just off Long Lake) for 3 nights this past February! Luckily it was high 30s during the day so a pretty mild winter excursion in WI! Great area!
Very cool video. Ok...trekking poles might have prevented the ankle sprain. Before I used them, I'd slip and fall regularly (like, into beaver ponds...not fun!). Since using poles, I haven't fallen at all, plus they relieve pressure on hips, knees,etc. I don't know why people hike without them. Probably, just not as clumsy as I am.
As someone currently recovering from shoulder surgery and can’t workout after being an active person for 12 years... crying every day about it.... I appreciate your words at 27:33. ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Sorry for the injury that impacted your hike, but you got to sleep in one of the newer shelter. That down hill to the first shelter had to be a killer on your ankle. It is mosquitoes session, as long as you are moving you safe. I have found using Repel Lemon Eucalyptus spray when you stop seems to keep them at bay. Great section of trail that you choose on the Ice Age Trail. The views along the trail are better in late fall to early spring when all the leaves are down. To bad the tower was closed, the view from the top is amazing. You can see for miles. If you every come through Chicago again your welcome to stop by Janik's Cafe, we are a breakfast / lunch restaurant. Home Team Pizza has some great pizza too.
Thank you for sharing this trip, Robby! This gave me the inspiration I needed to do my first solo backpacking trip a couple days ago. I went to the same place you did and the gold colors of fall there are beautiful. I understand how you can hurt an ankle there too since the trail is so rocky. Hope to see more solo hikes because you do a great job!
I have problems with ankles and what not myself. Had to make some changes to my load out. Go lighter, go slower and more methodical, and use trekking poles for more stability. Hope you're doing better, good trails!
Very Good Robby! I haven't injured my ankle yet on a hike, but twisted the knee last year on the SHT. Lucky that it didn't bother me very much with over a 100 miles left to finish the trail.
This was fun. I hike the opposite side of this trail all the time but didn't feel like driving all the way to Milwaukee to see that side. Was also curious if it was worth it doing the whole thing!
I've been saying that for years , you never know what kind of struggle someone is going through or have gone through . We all have baggage we are carrying .
Robie, Sasquatch lives in the forest! Wood knocking is one thing They use for commun ication . The other thing you heard could Have been them as well. 😉
loved the icecream sandwich.. last trip I went on I was getting food and saw several on sale for 50% off and had to get several to relive my childhood. I will admit, I got home and ate one on the spot!
I drive that route often (Kettle Moraine Drive). Beautiful any time of the year..ESPECIALLY Autumn. The "Moraines" are small hills and/or ridges formed by earth that was picked up by the glaciers that covered this area 11,000 years ago and were left where they were deposited, when the Glaciers melted and retreated to the North. The "Kettles" are just rounded ponds between the "Moraines".
I thought the hills were because the glaciers MISSED those areas, and flattened out what is now the Great Plains? I could be wrong, but I heard somewhere that that is why there are hills in that part of the state.
@@ForzaMonkey There are Moraines in Eastern Wisconsin and hills in Western Wisconsin. The Western part of the state was the part the glaciers missed. It's called the "Driftless" region.
I want to hike the entire trail, I live in Door County where they just added the Age Trail a few years ago. I wish I didn’t have to work everyday, so I could hike the trail from start to finish. Add to my bucket list lol
Your hat was extra cool and cute, was bummed you got hurt...stinks when you prep and plan and that happens, glad you made it out fine and the skeeters didn't eat you alive.
Awwww, you have an "Achilles ankle" too... I carry Mueller ankle support socks S/M in with my gear. Excellent product, buy from Amazon or at Walgreens. Super tight and supportive, definitely work, plus totally worth the $12 investment.

I love watching this guy just taking a walk, vocalizing his thoughts, that's just pure. Keep doing these solo hikes👍❤️ love them
Me too
he's the best part of this channel!

"美好... 不好." Hahaha
I'm loving the natural sounds in this one. Again, thanks for making this- it brightened my day. :)
Yes, the sights and sounds were very welcome. Thank you!
I like to keep a mini roll of duct tape when I go hiking. You can use it as athletic tape, foot blister protection or prevention, also to fix gear etc.… possibilities are endless.
Also, to save space with the tape I like to take from a larger roll and roll it around an old credit card.

Roll it around your trekking poles!

Great music mix--jazz, classical, and contemporary, enjoyed it all. Kudos.
Well I'm so sorry you got injured and had to cut it short. This is absolutely a gorgeous forest, one Of the prettiest ever. Blessings.
Really love the music in this one! I feel so bad for you, Robby- I hope that you're able to find a long term solution to your ankle issues :(
Robot legs, the ultimate solution.
It’s called widening his stance.
He really wasn’t built for FAME. (Or hiking) the Cub Scouts told him he’d never make it. But thank goodness for not listening to the 6 year old experts!
Long term solution equals real hiking boots. They protect the ankles, especially when carrying heavy shit.
love the slow mo shot of butterfly flying across while u were walking towards camera (your viewer from singapore) 👍🏻
Another viewer from Singapore!

Thanks again for the epic videos,
from Lou. KY.
p.s.
I just got my Adventure Archives hoodie and I'm loving how comfy it is!!
Thank you so much!! Glad you like the hoodie, and we definitely need to do more campfire cooking :)
Love your commentary 😆 “Heaven opens up and angels sing directly at me!” I feel the same way! 😊👍 ☕️
Revelation 6:12-17
That working water pump is really cool! I'm glad you were able to make the most of your trip. I've had to hike out 9 miles on an injured foot and it was brutal.
You and Kraig Adams inspire me so much to make videos myself and just go and "get lost" into nature. Thanks a lot for that!
Kraig is one of my favs too!
Not too often do I get to see my own home region featured in something of this quality and from the perspective of a non-local visitor. Glad to see others enjoying the areas I grew-up in and still (more or less) call home.

Did you see the secret agent following him?
Now that he’s famous, he’ll be watched every day from now on!
Gotta love Voiceover Andrew!
Very cool to see you hike in my backyard. Love kettle moraine and all your hikes.
Love your solo hikes. Lol when you are enjoying your food and at the end when you were washing your hands
I enjoyed watching your journey. I love Wisconsin. I will be going up in October and doing some hiking and Kettle Moraine. BTW your laugh is cute lol.
You must be pretty proud of yourselves. You didn't make the 50 but 38 is quite an accomplishment. You're both doing great.
I have done that segment many times, I live in the area and your video really captured the beauty of the area very well done, hope your ankle heals

Robby, I don’t know how I missed a video but, awesome job! Made my day to find this gem.
I really appreciate this and enjoy your outlook and creativity. So glad I found you and Adventure Archives during this Covid “adventure”. Been a source of light during trying times.
These videos are the new reality tv. I like em way better. Way more realistic. Plus it's nice to say other landscapes. Thanks

Another great video though. Hope your ankle is doing better.
We’ve seen the American horror movies. They’re famous!
Fast recovery for the next trek. Thank you for the beautiful and relaxing video as always🙏
Thank you for including the water pump from Evansville, WI! That’s the town my grandma was from! She’s 90!
I’m sorry about your ankle but I’m so glad you did this trail. I love this area to hike in. It is so peaceful and relaxing
Bikes and beards is relaxing too! 😎
Another good solo episode. In your subsequent vlogs, glad to see your ankle seemed to have recovered.
I grew up hiking these trails! Amazing to see AA in my home state, nonetheless in familiar environs. Love it!
Did you know your state could make HIM famous?
He needs to add something to the show, like go to the shops in the area and use the postal service in the area. Like, add something to life in these remote areas.
Like, buy ME something cool and post it to me on the other side of the planet.
He could up date the show to an INTERNET SHOPPING SHOW.
I appreciate that you take HUGE bites of food. LOL I imagine with all that walking you're very hungry by the time you eat.
I have to get up there. Once again, you’re able to capture the story so well.
Nice! I love watching your solo trips. Really good spots for me to solo myself sometime.
Thank you for taking us with you. The mom in me was planning your rescue - would you hitch hike to your car? Go to the bitter end? Use tent pole as a crutch? So glad you had already moved your car closer. You and your friends are so great to watch!
Super cool hat. Personally, I find a good rain hat far more comfortable than the hood of my raincoat. Also, when the mosquitoes are bad, a net to go over one’s head is a blessing.
Excellent! Excellent video.! Thanks for doing it.!.
Sending good vibes and healing energy, Robby! Great video thand for always brightening my day a little more! Happy trails! 🙏💛🌟👍💕☮️Great music🎶happiness👂🎶
That was the most beautiful video Ive seen in a very long time. You caught the peaceful vibe, the goldenrod and angel lace and the essence so well.The editing and the music were so great and love that Lenard Cohen hat! Spot on. Hope your ankle was tended to. Shine On,Robby.
While it's all fine and good to watch videos of perfect hiking days, I prefer the ones with challenges. Learning thought processes and outcomes of the decisions is practically invaluable in helping make my own decisions when faced with the unexpected.
I hope you are okay now!, Thank you for sharing. The views are amazing!!
Love the episode- Your thoughts, the visuals and music. So sorry about the ankle and I’m digging the hat!
That opening shot! 👌 Good to know you have an ice cream sandwich option when mobile. 😋 This episode was quaradilla free. 👍
I lived in Indy for a while and my family is in Chicago, so your driving clip warmed my heart. I love passing the wind turbines.
Went to Oshkosh last October and had a great time day hiking in Waukau Creek Nature Reserve. Never heard of the Ice Age Trail and if I did I would have planned to spend a day or two there. Thanks again for the great video.
I take my pizza seriously ;). This was true Chicago style, aka "Tavern Style", crispy thin crust, square cut..from a great neighborhood family run shop. Deep dish is the touristy "Chicago style".
Thanks for taking him to an honest Chicago pizza place!
Always awesome to see the crew complete and adventuring together, but if one good thing has come out of the pandemic its more AA solo vids!
Sorry about that ankle man, that’s a bummer but still looked like an incredible hike.
Started watching about a year ago. Loved the adventures you take and you have inspired me to start hiking/ camping. I also started my own channel. Keep up the good work.
Bad ankles, suggestions;
Support - high top hiking shoes ( keens), cling wraps, hiking poles ( Costco $20.00), light weight pack & gear one piece at a time.
When you get a ankle sprain soaking in cold river or lake water to reduce the swelling.
Hope this helps. 🍕🏕🥾

Keep rockin that hat Robby, looks good.
Aww, Lorenzo was adorable.
God I love when you leave the forest cover and see the beautiful clouds on the IAT. Such a beautiful trail. Glad to live in Wisconsin
Rob you remind me of my grandson name Gavin. Love your channel and all you guys. Keep on keeping on. From a Nana in TEXAS.
Very cool video. Ok...trekking poles might have prevented the ankle sprain. Before I used them, I'd slip and fall regularly (like, into beaver ponds...not fun!).

If you every come through Chicago again your welcome to stop by Janik's Cafe, we are a breakfast / lunch restaurant. Home Team Pizza has some great pizza too.
Hiked this trail with dad last summer and we were surprised just how much fun it was
That wounded dog you heard was a coyote. I live near the ice age trail , and some nights you can hear like thirty of them all howling at once.
Enjoyed your hiking trip and I’ll check out the mason jar coffee grinder next time you will finish your hike at least you got pizza 🍕 with a friend
Bro you are a couple miles from my house ! This video is going to be epic . I always watch your videos in envy and now you are in my backyard !!
Still too hot here for hiking, but soon!! Thanks for taking us along.
upbeat coffee music is something I didn't know I needed but here we are
"caffienecore"
Thank you for sharing this trip, Robby! This gave me the inspiration I needed to do my first solo backpacking trip a couple days ago. I went to the same place you did and the gold colors of fall there are beautiful. I understand how you can hurt an ankle there too since the trail is so rocky. Hope to see more solo hikes because you do a great job!
I have problems with ankles and what not myself. Had to make some changes to my load out. Go lighter, go slower and more methodical, and use trekking poles for more stability. Hope you're doing better, good trails!
Very Good Robby! I haven't injured my ankle yet on a hike, but twisted the knee last year on the SHT. Lucky that it didn't bother me very much with over a 100 miles left to finish the trail.
This was fun. I hike the opposite side of this trail all the time but didn't feel like driving all the way to Milwaukee to see that side. Was also curious if it was worth it doing the whole thing!
@11:15
i'm here in minnesota and alot of that vegetation etc looks familiar.
there is alot of stale water, supposed from all the glacier melt
I love this trail walk. You remind me of me. The things you say and do lol.
I recently found your guys videos and I’m hooked!!
Also seeing a black feather means you are protected 🥰😁
Thanks for awesome videos!! 👍🏼👍🏼
I've been saying that for years , you never know what kind of struggle someone is going through or have gone through . We all have baggage we are carrying .
Love Robbys solo hikes and wow, what a videographer Seems to suffer more than the other guys from his hiking adventurers. He soldiers on tho
I live in one of the Ice Age Trail communities! Hope you get to come to WI again to hike another segment of the trail!
Robie, Sasquatch lives in the forest! Wood knocking is one thing
They use for commun ication . The other thing you heard could
Have been them as well. 😉
Always love going hiking with you.
Great video as always
Stay happy healthy and fluid my friend
loved the icecream sandwich.. last trip I went on I was getting food and saw several on sale for 50% off and had to get several to relive my childhood. I will admit, I got home and ate one on the spot!
I drive that route often (Kettle Moraine Drive). Beautiful any time of the year..ESPECIALLY Autumn. The "Moraines" are small hills and/or ridges formed by earth that was picked up by the glaciers that covered this area 11,000 years ago and were left where they were deposited, when the Glaciers melted and retreated to the North.

I thought the hills were because the glaciers MISSED those areas, and flattened out what is now the Great Plains? I could be wrong, but I heard somewhere that that is why there are hills in that part of the state.
@@ForzaMonkey There are Moraines in Eastern Wisconsin and hills in Western Wisconsin. The Western part of the state was the part the glaciers missed. It's called the "Driftless" region.
@@badguy1481 That's right, thanks for clarifying.
I want to hike the entire trail, I live in Door County where they just added the Age Trail a few years ago.
I wish I didn’t have to work everyday, so I could hike the trail from start to finish.
Add to my bucket list lol
Your hat was extra cool and cute, was bummed you got hurt...stinks when you prep and plan and that happens, glad you made it out fine and the skeeters didn't eat you alive.
Awwww, you have an "Achilles ankle" too... I carry Mueller ankle support socks S/M in with my gear. Excellent product, buy from Amazon or at Walgreens. Super tight and supportive, definitely work, plus totally worth the $12 investment.
Man, thank you so much for sharing us your stories I really do appreciate all the uploads. ✌️🙏👍
