Ohio's great! I grew up canoeing on the Mohican River. It was pretty popular. There were a few spots where land owners built paddle up snack bars and you could buy chips or hotdogs etc. Ramshackle places. Lots of long lonesome stretches as well. A-frame trees covering the way. Good memories.
This video took me back to my childhood. My Dad took me and some friends and family down this river. Sadly he has passed on but i can remember the good times we had doing stuff like this. Thanks for posting this it gave me wonderful memories with my Dad.
Another great video. Thank you. The rented canoe appeared to be an Old Town 169. They're very stable, durable but a bit on the heavy side at about 93 pounds. If you do a boundary waters trip - Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, consider renting an ultralight kevlar/graphite canoe - they're half the weight which is huge when portaging between lakes. They're not as durable long term but OK. If you can rent an older model Mad River Royalex canoe, they're exceptional and mid-weight about 70 pounds.
"Youtubing nature videos" is how I found your channel and settled on North Manitou Island for my first back-country hiking trip. It's a great medium!! That's why I enjoy this channel.
Quapaw Canoe Company is based in Clarksdale, MS and offers overnight guided trips on the lower Mississippi River. October would be a great time of year to experience the huge barges loaded with cotton bales. With advanced planning you could schedule the trip during the King Biscuit Festival held across the river in West Helena, Arkansas each October. (cancelled 2020 due to Covid) OMG...food, Food, FOOD and amazing music on multiple stages!
This is the first video of your's that I've seen and it's caught me right in the middle of a huge personal resurgence in my interest in nature. I love your filming and the peaceful nature of your trips. Keep it up, adventures indeed!
Beautiful video. Much respect for your appreciation of nature. I use my canoe as a way to get my family outdoors while we cope with a family member who suffers dementia. The short trips we take refresh our spiritual batteries.
You guys were made to canoe the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, with all you bushcrafting skills, and I bet Thomas could even catch a fish there :) Its beautiful there. Its crazy up there you pick your route through and may not see another soul your entire trip. Look it up boys, Andrew would be in heaven, When I was there you can collect water right out of the middle of the lake and drink it. It was sooo much fun
This is probably the most stress free episode of AA.; for a river called Mad, the canoe trip was the complete opposite. I don't blame Robbie at 04:24 after that disaster in Manistee. I would be traumatized as well.
I like that your channel offers these short videos in addition to the full length episodes. The variety keeps things fun. You two guys always get philosophical when you are together. It's cute :3 I agree, doing is much better than having. A rich life is not gained by material things.
I think change is definitely a must for me in my life. That's why I like hiking and camping so much you can visit the same spot 100 times and the plants will be different, the wildlife will be different and the weather as well. So being in the same spot still creates a new experience. Outstanding and scenic video as always.
Beautiful scenery! I watch this video pretty much every time I use my rowing machine when I can't be outdoors and it feels like I'm right out there canoeing.
If I may, If you are seriously considering a long distance paddling expedition, I strongly recommend invest in some instruction from an ACA certified instructor. Paddling, especially in flat or slow moving water, may seem straight forward, but if you are talking about a long distance with a lot of heavy gear without support/help close by, it really helps to be trained in the proper techniques and know what to do in case of emergency. Also, you need to do some research on the proper gear to take with you. For example, those type-II horseshoe-style PFD's you are wearing, don't really cut for a long distance trip. You need a comfortable type III or IV PFD Such as the NRS Ion or the Astral Blue Jacket. Astral also has some more economical models like the Ronny that will work as well. I love what you do with this channel. Stay safe out there and remember people are looking to you for an example so promote safety.
That looks like a great river to paddle. Tiny little rapids, clear shallow water, and no alligators! (I'm in Florida.) I'm adding to my list of places to go. Thanks for the video.
Hey, guys, if you're looking for a good long-distance canoe trip, consider Missouri's spring-fed rivers like the Current River or the Eleven Point. The Eleven Point has the h "wild and scenic" distinction from the NPS (meaning is is mostly undeveloped, very natural), has GREAT on-river camping spots, and is perfect for a 2-day or 3-day float. Also, it isn't hugely traveled the way the Current River can be during the warm seasons. STRONGLY recommend both rivers! :) Please keep making your awesome videos!
Dudes! Thanks for making this video. Reminds me of a similar trip I made with a (now deceased) buddy years ago. I also enjoyed the conversation! Bravo.
I hear banjos !!!!!!!!!!😆 Love to watch the videos you men make . So peaceful, relaxing, good therapy for a busy mind . Thank you fellows for your hard work and the time it takes to make the videos. 👍💯
I find beauty in every season and feel so aware of the seasons. I also always find myself at the end of a season looking so forward to the next one. I feel lucky to live in an area ( Southeastern Kentucky) where we have defined seasons even though spring and fall feel much shorter!
There is a canoe race every year in San Marcos, Texas that starts at the headwaters of the San Marcos River and ends all the way into the Gulf at matagorda bay
You guys should go see the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. It's beautiful any time of the year, but if you plan to float be sure to check the water levels before plan a trip.
I love that trip! That wouldn't have happened to have been a Mad River brand canoe that you were paddling down the Mad River would it? LOL!!! Thanks for sharing!
There’s long distance canoeing up by the border of Canada, tons of people do it a lot with scouts mainly but also adventure groups, u can do weeks worth if u want
That does sound amazing. We did canoe around in Algonquin for a weekend czcams.com/video/OyIAeTbk8FM/video.html but I would really love to go back sometime.
Hello Adventure Archives, Nice Video. Your videos are awesome and the content is great. Also I reached 200 subscribers after 6 weeks of uploading and it is surreal. Every time I watch a video I anticipate how great it will be. Thanks. Sincerely, your number one fan, Nature Nerd Outdoors.
Nice video guys. I with you Andrew, bout taking a long distance canoe trip. I would so love to do that myself. Loving the vids guys, good work. Stay safe and good adventures guys!
Reminds me of videos I've seen going down the Amazon River in Brazil, only not as wide. Same sort of closed-in feeling (not in a bad way). Very cool trip. I wonder why Thomas' trip to Maine didn't allow comments. That was kind of disappointing.
Awesome guys, must have been a little hard upstream paddling to retrieve the camera, i can imagine bryan did everything to avoid this after manistee 😁, but more canoeing in your main episodes would be nice i really enjoyed the split hike and canoeing in manistee
I think that maybe they were in two canoes. In one shot you can see another red canoe behind them. But I could be wrong and it could have been other people.
If you are looking for a long distance canoe trip, Fisheating creek, Blackwater river and Juniper springs are considered the best in FL Edit: Actually Juniper springs is way to short. Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands are better
I've been thinking about asking the AA team if they would be interested in a long canoe trip on the Little Miami in SW Ohio from source to the Ohio. How would I talk to you about this?
this channel is so underrated
Serenity is its own reward
Ohio's great! I grew up canoeing on the Mohican River. It was pretty popular. There were a few spots where land owners built paddle up snack bars and you could buy chips or hotdogs etc. Ramshackle places. Lots of long lonesome stretches as well. A-frame trees covering the way. Good memories.
you really make me appreciate life a little bit more
Some material possessions do add to life, such as canoes!
Much love for Ohio from the banks of the Mad in Dayton!
Very nice...and relaxing. Love the kingfishers diving in the water. Beautiful.....
This video took me back to my childhood. My Dad took me and some friends and family down this river. Sadly he has passed on but i can remember the good times we had doing stuff like this. Thanks for posting this it gave me wonderful memories with my Dad.
This is so therapeutic to watch esp the music background. Gotta try canoeing one of these days ;)

Robby looked more like a true nature man with long hair, we think. Great video, beautiful light, perspective, comments, perfect harmony.
LOOKED LIKE A LOT OF FUN! BE SAFE! ENJOYED !
"Youtubing nature videos" is how I found your channel and settled on North Manitou Island for my first back-country hiking trip. It's a great medium!! That's why I enjoy this channel.
LONG DISTANCE CANOE TRIP VOTE HERE
I agree! Come back to Algonquin! 🛶🏕
CHRIS :D I watch you too! Collab would be awesome
@AdventureArchives Highly recommend the boundary waters canoeing in Minnesota
dbis9988 agreed. Either boundary waters or Algonquin. Get ready to portage

The most valuable things in life are not measurable

Make sure to check out their other videos. Your resurgence will only grow. They will have you jonesing to get outdoors
Beautiful video. Much respect for your appreciation of nature. I use my canoe as a way to get my family outdoors while we cope with a family member who suffers dementia. The short trips we take refresh our spiritual batteries.

one of my favorite videos; super chill with some scary looking spillways to spice up the chillness
Great video, I enjoyed its peacefulness.

Loved the Apache that flew overhead
Very nice river. There really is something truly relaxing about canoeing. Thanks for taking us along!
Beautiful way to celebrate summer's end!
That is one good-looking river.
I noticed the dry sacks immediately. Thumbs up, guys! :) As always, my husband and I really enjoy your videos.
That looks like a great river to paddle. Tiny little rapids, clear shallow water, and no alligators! (I'm in Florida.) I'm adding to my list of places to go. Thanks for the video.

Very nice production. A long distance canoe trip would be awesome. Just imagine how much awesome wildlife and views you would see!!
This video reminds me of the paddle we took down the Thornapple River near Hastings, Michigan. Thank you.
Canoes are an excellent way to get to know Ohio. Nice fun trip guys!
Kudos on the hang drum music too :)
OMG! we go down this spot every year and just under that bridge, we like to relax 😌
Nice to have a nice and gentle ride down the river. Like the side video post hike meal too. 👍
Love it 😊 Beautifully done guys!
Haha, that waterproof blue bag, fixed to the canoe ;) Learned a lesson there, guys ;)
Any camping along that river? Looked like a nice & easy paddle. I vote yes for a long distance canoe trip!!
This was quite pleasant to watch after a stressful Monday at the office. Great work, guys.
What a beautiful river. This world be my kind of fun.
You guys have to do the boundary waters one day. It's an awsume place and your video style would do it justice.
Boundry Waters is nice...but go to the Canadian side to Quetico. About 90% of the visitors go to BWCA.
You guys are fun to travel with. I'm not far from Mad River but have not canoed it in years. Great video.
Dudes! Thanks for making this video. Reminds me of a similar trip I made with a (now deceased) buddy years ago. I also enjoyed the conversation! Bravo.
Once again guys, Great video, beautiful scenery and setting. Always look fwd to see you post something new! Love you guys!
Love the stories you bring. Love the discussion as well. Keep it up. And yes, do a long distance canoe trip.
Really enjoyed your simplicity of life
Reminded me of my trips with my friends.
This is such a beautiful place. Thank you for posting this video. It's so cool. I love nature.
Nice relaxing canoe trip down the river. You did get Robby just a little nervous! lol
I hear banjos !!!!!!!!!!😆
Love to watch the videos you men make .
So peaceful, relaxing, good therapy for a busy mind . Thank you fellows for your hard work and the time it takes to make the videos. 👍💯
You want a long distance trip you should drive to Missouri and spend 4-6 days on the Current River!
Your videos are so relaxing and educational. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks for sharing your adventures
I'm now too old to go on a canoe trip. So, I went with you...and loved it! Thank you for posting. BTW, great job on the music : - )
what a relaxing enjoyable video!! Robby your music was perfect too.
Looks like a relaxing ride. I sure have enjoyed the canoeing I've done here in Japan!
i hate that you guys don't have more subscribers than this, that's not fair. You guys should have gone viral. :(
That is a very beautiful and scenic creek. I'd stay the whole day (or days haha) there exploring!
Love the chemistry and the knowledge..thank you!
When you live in the California low desert, you look forward to the change in the fall.
I find beauty in every season and feel so aware of the seasons. I also always find myself at the end of a season looking so forward to the next one. I feel lucky to live in an area ( Southeastern Kentucky) where we have defined seasons even though spring and fall feel much shorter!
I do a lot of kayaking i Scandinavia. We have a lot of waterways that are accessible to the public. Thank´s for your upload. Greetings from Sweden : )
I love your guys' videos. Great job at everything from narration to content
GAIA GPS would def tell you your land speed in that canoe
1 video a week is great
There is a canoe race every year in San Marcos, Texas that starts at the headwaters of the San Marcos River and ends all the way into the Gulf at matagorda bay
You guys should go see the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. It's beautiful any time of the year, but if you plan to float be sure to check the water levels before plan a trip.
I love that trip! That wouldn't have happened to have been a Mad River brand canoe that you were paddling down the Mad River would it? LOL!!! Thanks for sharing!
I'd recommend the big trout lake loop in Algonquin Park. 78 km of paddling and portaging!
yeah do more canoe trips! come to ontario! you'd love temagami or killarney
There’s long distance canoeing up by the border of Canada, tons of people do it a lot with scouts mainly but also adventure groups, u can do weeks worth if u want
That does sound amazing. We did canoe around in Algonquin for a weekend czcams.com/video/OyIAeTbk8FM/video.html but I would really love to go back sometime.
Beautiful area guys! I really need to check out Ohio.
You guys have inspired me to become a tree, also i found what ive been missing in my life
Great job! Enjoyed it:)
Great video and everything stayed dry this time! Safe travels guys, looking forward to the next one.
good video, it was real cool watching you go to areas I have been and stop for food in my home town.

@M Lowe don't be a dick
Nice video guys. I with you Andrew, bout taking a long distance canoe trip. I would so love to do that myself. Loving the vids guys, good work. Stay safe and good adventures guys!
yesssss i love your videos!!!!!! so so glad to see new stuff! (:
thanks guys
I use to live near the Mad!!
so beautiful! thanks for filming great video
I'm surprised you guys were willing to get in canoes again! Ziploc bags and zip ties for your gear hopefully :-)
You at AA should canoe the BWCA.
: )
I was fortunate to have canoed 101 miles of it, in two trips.
Reminds me of videos I've seen going down the Amazon River in Brazil, only not as wide. Same sort of closed-in feeling (not in a bad way). Very cool trip. I wonder why Thomas' trip to Maine didn't allow comments. That was kind of disappointing.
I kind of want to see AA on a fishing trip :)
It’s hilarious that you’re wearing life jackets in 6 inches of water. Lolz
Probably a condition to rent the canoe.
Awesome guys, must have been a little hard upstream paddling to retrieve the camera, i can imagine bryan did everything to avoid this after manistee 😁, but more canoeing in your main episodes would be nice i really enjoyed the split hike and canoeing in manistee
I think that maybe they were in two canoes. In one shot you can see another red canoe behind them. But I could be wrong and it could have been other people.
Why do i get the feeling at any moment, a full on brokeback mountain will unfold...
If you are looking for a long distance canoe trip, Fisheating creek, Blackwater river and Juniper springs are considered the best in FL
Edit: Actually Juniper springs is way to short. Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands are better
Love swimming vat the damn at 13:25
You had to paddle fast to just keep up with those leaves .... zooming by .... that's why they call them leaves ....
The music in this episode reminds me of Animal Crossing 😭
I've been thinking about asking the AA team if they would be interested in a long canoe trip on the Little Miami in SW Ohio from source to the Ohio. How would I talk to you about this?
Whew no dunking
Looks fun,make a uturn!!!!
Where did you guys put your canoe in at?
I forgot about Suwannee river also
try the Alagash in Maine
