29:41 Quick Questions

- My questions as a new viewer would be, what is the history of your channel? What prompted you to get started? How are you related to each other? Having watched one of your earliest episodes, what's the story behind Thomas joining the crew?

- Have you consider having everyone weigh their pack before the trip?

- How do you guys archive your project files, do you have a closet full of hard drives?

- Is there any chance Nicole (or others) will join the adventures again in the future? Are there any plans for more road trip episodes?

- As someone who is new to backpacking figuring out the planning aspect can be overwhelming. I was wondering in Olympic National Park did you have to reserve camp sites there, and was there any additional permitting?

40:33 Main Questions

- My question is what your hike planning procedure looks like? Do you have a list of locations you want to hike in and how do you find them, how much do you research the route before you start, and do you plan everything together or assign roles?

- How do you think your younger selves would feel if they knew you would have this long running show that has gotten millions of views?

- If you guys could have one thing that would make making Adventure Archives easier, what would it be?

After a two year hiatus, we're back! The plan is to release once a month. In this episode we talk about everything we've been up to for the last two years and a little bit about our goals for the new year.

We briefly talk about our experience getting covid. We debrief our bear encounter during our most recent episode in Glacier National Park. We also talk a bit about our 2023 plans and resolutions.

We talk a bit about our fall plans and talk about how to recapture some of the magic of youth.

We break down how Thomas felt in the Lost Coast, Bryan talks about his Iceland trip, and we give some videogame updates.

We recently filmed a ton of videos and we talk about that. We also talk a bit about our favorite endings from our episodes.

00:18 We start off talking a bit about the Savage Gulf episode.

07:14 Talking about the cabin experience during the episode.

09:47 Andrew talking about that disgusting mushroom he ate.

16:21 Other thoughts about the Savage Gulf.

19:24 Special mosquito net Bryan and Nicole made for Andrew.

22:20 Eating cereal during a trip.

24:47 Dehydrating mushrooms to eat on a trip?

28:08 Some details about the shoutouts in the episode.

34:43 Then a very short diversion into Elden Ring.

39:16 And finally talking a bit about our worst weather experiences.

We talk about the 50th episode in Big Bend and also a little bit about the history of the show.

Ostensibly an episode about our plans for the New Year, but we go all over the place in our first podcast in a very long time.

Robby, Bryan, and Andrew go through a small list of what we think are the best episodes of Adventure Archives and order them 1 to 10. This was originally recorded for our patrons live at Patreon.com/adventure. We occasionally record these live, so if you ever want to join in, that's where they're at. Enjoy the episode!
