Danny is a great addition to the A.A team. Hope to see more of him!
You guys really be providing therapeutic content. You have no idea how much I look forward to these updates. Danny was a great addition loved his comedy and bright mood throughout the trip.
It is cool how these guys appreciate all hikes. This is not nationally known like Glacier National Park, but they appreciate Cumberland Gap all the same for it's own beauty.
I suffer from anxiety, since I found your videos I have had zero anxiety. You are the best, I love to watch. You guys go n do and see, your videos are my virtual vacation I will never get to have! Thank you!

Seriously, AA is on the level of NatGeo with a much smaller budget!
We really enjoy your videos! I recently discovered the ones of Southern California. I grew up there some 70 years go, so have gotten lot of pure joy in seeing it again, the San Gabriel’s, Mt. Whitney, Kern River..all my old playgrounds. Did Yosemite back then tooo. One of my earliest memories is hiking to the top of Yosemite Falls with my Dad! He took me fly fishing up at Crabtree meadow…caught our limits in golden and they tasted incredible in the. High altitude…It was so nice to see those places thru you eyes! Thank you! I am a native plant enthusiast here in the Arkansas Ozarks, so truly enjoy Andrews plant comments. Thanks for all you share guys! If you get back to Arkansas , come on by and we’ll do the Ozark Hilands Trail or the Buffalo River Trail! Just not in mid summer..ticks are terrible! 😂
I am recovering from a major heart attack living vicariously through your travels. Getting better and planning more adventures. Thanks for your videos.
Man, these ending credits are getting better, funnier and crazier with time. I believe it's a lot of additional work but it's truly good. Thanks
Thanks for another adventure, guys. Danny was a wonderful addition. And Robby, wow! Way to go!
I loved your cousin! Bring him out more. Beautiful location, beautiful photography. Beautiful all over.
I felt like I was right there with Robbie, and Andrew, hauling a pack up the mountain, and enjoying a Gatorade and candy at the top. A great episode! Look forward to watching it again.
Favorite channel on KZread! You guys need more recognition! High quality production and such a real and fun experience every trip! Keep it up guys!
Robby, you’re the hero of this outing! You saved everyone, including yourself! You’re a great addition to any group of explorers!
Instead of saying Danny has simply gone around the rock Andrew said 'Danny has entered the fourth dimension'. Then later when they were leaving to return to 'civilisation' he said 'lets dehumble ourselves.' These are the moments I wait for!
Can you believe how much I am in heaven? Watching these amazing videos I am camping day and night.

It feels like, I am also traveling with you guys. My husband and I loves to travel. You all give me education of all the plants, parks and showed me the beauty of our nature. I can't thank you enough. I am glad, I discovered your channel. Stay safe guys. God bless.
Cumberland Gap has a special place in my heart. My family used to go down there a couple times a year when I was a kid. It's a hidden gem with great historical significance. Thanks!
Just discovered your channel and I am hooked. I have been binge-watching. I really love the pace of your trips and your narration.
I just discovered you guys a couple of weeks ago and I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your videos. I can't believe the quality of the filming and how you appreciate every place you go. You're helping me get through the winter and also have me making plans for spring. Thank you!!

Hey Guys hope all of you are well! Me and my wife were wondering since we haven’t heard from you in awhile just making sure all of you are okay! Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
Robby was definitely the MVP of this trip!
“That doesn’t sound terrible“ confirmed my suspicions of that guy 😂
My husband and I just love your channel. We have been camping for over thirty years. For the last four years I’ve been to I’ll to go. We live vicariously thru you. Also you seem to be such nice you men
All right I have returned to finish the episode! Love that settlement at the end of the hike. With all fog it was beautiful! Robbie coming in clutch for the win! Looking forward to your 2023 Adventures!
Thanks for taking us along.
Robbie, I know you are on the fence about cutting your hair but I think the the bandana you had in your Bear Grills skit looks pretty chill.
I love having this summer episode to watch during these high winds and fierce cold. Makes me so happy to reminisce the warmer days!
Danny did really fit very well!! You need fifth member :D

Nice to see a more simple adventure after some grand ones.
I’m with Danny- I love the rain 😂 Especially hiking in it. I’d love to see more of him in future episodes

That seems to be a common occurrence. I've returned a hound that I found d near Hensley Settlement, and my brother found a horse that belonged to the park service at martins fork creek. Most people hike right past the creek before they get to the settlement. My friend's great uncle lived in a cabin that still stands there by the source of the creek. The park service used to rent it for something like $8 a night.
Just want to say, I been following you guys for a few years now. Love that y'all are still great friends and doing what you guys love. Keep up the adventures fellas!
You guys always go above and beyond with the ending credit sketches, soo good!!!!!
I wish I was with you guys. I forage as I hike. Nature is so cool. Great video!
The Adventures of Glup Sweato and Splay Beeto.
Love the music, the history is great, and thanks for helping the dog!
The fog mist was haunting, what a great way to find that area.
I wish I had a crew like these guys!
At 57 minutes approximately, lol. The quick clip of you two guys chilling, on folding chairs at the junction
Just came across your channel, absolutely in love. One beautiful surprise after another. Thanks for sharing.
I have so enjoyed your trips. I am 86 and figured it is so great to watch someone else walk the mountains. I can remember the moments. Thank you.
You guys were only 45 minutes from where we live! We hiked over there 12 straight weekends during late summer and fall. I’m so upset that we missed you guys!😔 Robbie is a beast for his extracurricular hiking😮 There’s actually a water source below the White Rocks Campsite (in the hollow), and the trickle that you had at Sand Cave is usually a waterfall. It was an extremely dry summer and fall here, so most of the water in Cumberland Gap was dry. There is also a water source down at the Martin’s Fork Campsite that we were able to use when most others were dry. Thanks for another awesome adventure video!!

This area is home for me. We grew up hiking this trail. Every year, my father would take us. It was a coveted annual family event. Six kids. You had to be 8 yrs old to go. Such a special place. Thank you for capturing it so accurately. Serene, mysterious, and beauitful beyond your eyes.

I'm from that little town yall were in at the visitor center (Middlesboro), and it makes me so happy to see people traveling to check out some of the trails we have around here. Hope you enjoyed your stay!
There's actually a water source at white rocks campground. It's just hard to find among the ferns. And the "small shed" at the settlement is actually a "spring house" and the source of Shilala creek, a "Kentucky wild river" that runs down the KY side of the mountain. The sign for Martin's fork campground also pointed to another water source and the actual Cupp cabin. Parts of the moonshine still can still be found by the creek (Beginning of the Martin's Fork River) there. I spent countless hours at the settlement as a kid. Picking apples (my aunt still makes apple butter from those apples), playing in the barn, and admiring the Scottish cattle the park service once had up there.
Loved the contrast of being in the denseness of the forest and reaching those high points with the views. That fog made it look and feel otherworldly. Great to see Cumberland make the Adventure Archives list. Cool to have Danny along too and also contribute guitar. Always appreciate the effort you guys put into the shout outs! 👍 Yo Yo Bear Grylls! 🐻
despite all the challenges, this trip looks FUN as hell! also, that dog is the perfect side quest!!
Was very excited to hear you dropping Mesker Park Zoo's name! It is such a wonderful, historic zoo. My family has been members for years. Keep up the good work!

Local Baptist churches used to hold what they called "June meeting" at the sand cave. Congregations from KY and VA would meet halfway for music, food and to beat the heat for a weekend every June.
Cumberland Gap is seriously underrated. Thanks for sharing your jaunt. Nice work by Robby! The funny thing is when he took off I wondered if he'd hit a Dollar General before finding a convenience store. He did indeed.
Green lush jungle like steamy wet forest 🌳 or beautiful fluffy white cold snow❄️??🤔🤔🤔 Either if AA is leading the way. Super video. ❤😎

This is so cool. I hiked from civic park to the sand cave and white rocks in October. I hiked through freezing fog and had no view at white rocks overlook. It was a very awesome 9 mile hike and I saw no other people.
... I have not been much of a thru hiker/backpacker in the past ,, prefer to backpack to various alpine lakes and spend a day or two at each before moving on to the next .... but the comradery shown here is worth the thought ..... enjoy your videos and adventures ... look forward to future treks ...
Really enjoyed the warm weather camping video in the middle of a cold Ohio winter! Also I know the hiccups were hard at the moment for you, but made for an entertaining video. Never too experienced to learn new things...how true. Love your positivity in the face of hardships. Please continue to make great videos. Thanks guys!
disney plus/ nat geo quality for sure! enjoyed this 1000%
Hi! Guys! Great hike and camping video. Water water yes! More water! Kudos for hiking back to get water! Bummer there wasn’t much of a water source for you guys. I know the extra weight is hard to carry. Thank you for sharing! 😊
The Silver Comet Trail is 60 miles inside Georgia and continues until Birmingham, Alabama. There are rural views if you choose Coontz Lake area for a 10 mile hike. Westville, Georgia is a smaller Canyon area for a 10 mile hike. I hope you make it to Georgia! I wrote a comedy in 2004 called Murder on the Silver Comet Trail. I promote the Buddy System for women.
Thanks for the laughs! The hike was nice too!
Another great trip. At 26:11 Robby's leg tan is wild. Lol

And again, I am watching this episode. ❤ My husband and I hiked around the same area as in this episode. It was in the middle of summer, long story short, 'bout died... well, I felt like I would die! 😂 I told him to just throw me off the bluff and let me try to roll back down to the car. I love watching you guys! I love it when I see y'all hike in the same places we do. Y'all are so awesome!!!!❤❤❤❤😊

Great timing. I needed something to watch. :)
This landscape is so different compared to the places I film here on Vancouver island. Those cabins are cool time capsules.
Hi! Really enjoyed this trip but have questions. 1. Glad that you spoke at the end about the importance of being prepared when hiking. Do you all have training in case of a medical emergency? If so, what training classes did you take? 2. What do you do for swollen knees and blisters/sore feet? 3. Andrew, how did you learn to forage? I read a mushroom book once and learned to never try to eat any mushrooms that I pick because there are so many variations that I would be unsure of what I picked! 4. Hilarious about Brian and Danny looking at their phones while Robbie went all the way back to get water. 5. Glad that you include disagreements and frustrations while hiking. Not all hiking is easy. 6. Can AA's shirts for sale be like the one that Andrew wore in the video (like shirts that stretch)? Thank you for another fun hike!
