Morgan Monroe State Forest - Indiana Backpacking, Bushcraft, Hiking, and Autumn Camping - AdventureArchives
video description
elitism and what not, you guys focus on the experience and how it can be enjoyed by anyone. Also, credit to the camera/editing work. These videos are a thing of beauty! This is a fantastic series and I am glad you guys are doing it: )
Some criticism, if you want it: The music, while original and pretty awesome, can dominate the video a bit, you may want to think about lowering it on the mix. To add to this, the song with the yelling ( at 22: 30 and 38: 10) was terribly distracting- I don't mean to insult the artist, just that it didn't seem to fit and took away from the video. Also on audio, I know it is expensive, but investing in some mics or even a boom would be a huge benefit for you guys. It is really difficult to watch these videos in a public place because I have to adjust the audio non-stop to account for quiet talking scenes followed by really loud music. You could fix a lot of this in post by normalizing the audio but it would be good to have better audio sources for the conversations and interviews. Also, who is the third guy (Bryan? Why do we never see him or hear his comments on anything? Please don't take these criticisms negatively, I am a fan of your work and only want to offer feedback, I want you guys to succeed.
Thanks for making the videos, and happy trails!

-10: 50 I can't help but feeling like doing this / suggesting scattering the coals over leaves and underbrush may eventually lead to a fire. All it takes is a small ember still warm, a leaf against it and a small breeze. Just a thought; there is a fine line between leave no trace and burn down a forest. When I think of the suggestion of scattering the fire out I think of making sure there is no logs still touching that will smoulder. I grew up surrounded by woods in Kentucky and sometimes it would get so dry that even having a fire sparks flying could light the leaves on fire. However your videos are great! Keep it up and its awesome to see you all removing any trash seen. Its a good reminder to people to not leave things, they don't just disappear naturally. Ever been to the Porcupine Mountains? If not you all should check it out and make sure to do the whole Escarpment Trail. After: Labor Day is less bugs and March / April can have impossible river crossings.

Robby, I have a question about your camera equipment, only because I am need of upgrading mine! I have a older Sony Handycam that takes for ever to upload and doesnt like to convert to usable -mb's-! So why do you use what you use? Have you though about an Go-Pro model? I'd like to have one, but I would like two formats to use, so cost is a factor! So, I'm thinking of a Sony action cam for weight and cost. Now I've used Nikons in the past (predigital days) and may stick with those since I'm familiar with that brand. However if a Canon is lighter I could be coherst in to switching, lol. Looking at a D3200 Nikon with acouple of lenses package for the price is nice. What do you use to protect you gear while out in the wood's, case wise?

Okay. So I've been going back and watching the full episodes a second time (or third, depending. Y'know what I really really love about this one (in addition to all the usual reasons, and I don't think I caught it in my first viewing last year? I really love the closing line -. until then we will enjoy these memories -- in our adventure archives-! Not only does it tie the philosophy, the closing, and the show title all together, but it perfectly puts into words the feeling of knowing you just created some amazing memories, and you're already looking forward to the next trip. The memories, pictures, and stories are such a valuable thing, in between adventures. Great line & theme!

Have another camera question for you guy's. I want to know how you did the shot during credits, before the blue foot prints roll? You have a shoting up towards the sky near the fire, through the fire and you can see the star rotate. How did you do that and what was you apeture setting? DUDE! That is SO freakin cool! I tried a similar shot like that years ago on an over nite in Deam Wilderness Area just above Patton Cave. But that was pre-digital days with a Nikon fm2n' a 75-200 Tamron lens, Bowen tripod and a cable release.
Andrew-- -it gets lonely in the wilderness: /you brought your blow up doll, dang dude, lol.

I wish I knew how you guys find your parks. I don't know any where that allows hiking off trail and I feel like that would be a great experience! Also, I am extremely jealous of the trees you find. I very badly want to eat a paw paw, and you didn't mention that the leaves of the sassafras when dried and ground up become known as file' which is a popular cajun flavoring (most commonly used in gumbo.

This was a beautiful trip to watch. U said some very true things about nature and humanity. At 20: 09 it seemed to me like a Maitake mushroom. What do u think Andrew?
I was hiking in the woods all time too. Now i have to stay in bed the fourth year because of an illness. Your videos are really bringing me back to nature. Thx!

You know I've hiked and camped there since 1982 and help with the Tecumseh Trail back in the late 90s. My section was the one that crossed the old forestry road in the back section, down a finger ridge through a crick, along a fence row and down to Bear Lake. Glad younger people are enoying it as much as I have through the years!

While out doing a day hike the other day I realized there are 2 basic hikers; a point to point get there kind of person or the stroll & take in everything hiker. You guys show that even the slowest of us hikers can get out there & enjoy! Thanks again.
