welcome to campfire chronicles the official podcast of adventure archives this is episode 2 and it is July 31st 2015

I am Robbie Huang and today I'm joined with Andrew Lyne brian lin and grievous thomas all right grievous yeah it's like Keith David it's like two first names for last name okay well to start off we just launched our patreon page yeah and we want to just start off by saying thank you from the very bottom of our hearts to everybody who has donated absolutely yeah seriously like thank you so much cuz it does help a lot and you know what I'm just gonna go ahead and give list the first names of everybody that did so we got bill Dylan Joshua Margaret Nicholas samu Lee hope I'm pronouncing that right Dominic James Jason Andreas son Jan and hong thank you and particular particular big thanks to son jane and hong for $50 that they're contributing that is just incredible and beyond our wildest expectations yeah and like this seriously does help us create more episodes more often so we're really excited yeah yeah we're really excited pumped to get that Yosemite episode going yeah yeah and it remember it's not too late to see Red River Gorge early and if you sign up after that's release you can see the Yosemite one early yes the Red River Gorge is coming out on August 10th but of course if you donate right now you can see it immediately and Thomas there was something you wanted me to mention but I can't remember what it is so why don't you tell the listeners what it was oh yeah if any of you have if any listeners have any topic ideas that you want us to talk about we're struggling every week to find things to talk about so please be aware we're happy to talk about what you're not yeah we're not struggling but we want to get our viewers like you know we want to get them involved too considering this is only the second episode it's kind of important you guys are the ones listening so we kind of want to talk about what you want to lay here yeah okay so Andrew what exactly goes into making an episode oh man it's a lot like what a lot of people don't realize and what I never realized about media is just like hours of effort can go into the smallest things that nobody even notices but the thing is if you didn't put the effort in then everybody would notice because it would look like a mistake and to give an example like all those little graphics of like day 1 day 2 day 3 like it took me an hour to do that because I had to relearn how to do it in after-effects rather than using Sony Vegas and also the map sequence took me like three hours that was a map sequence that was an incredible display of everything you did you you literally spent three hours drawing the curve of the line of that I zoomed in and I made sure the line was like perfectly centered it was actually probably more effort than needed to go in there but I mean and I just I don't know it's like that's it doesn't bother you when it's something you love to do but it's like people don't realize how much effort goes into all these little things that are just like unnoticeable you know the most like most people see is when whenever we show in our videos where we walk back to our camera and then that kind of like breaks the fourth wall little people realize oh they still have to go back and get that camera that they left there yeah that's the best though is when we can make that invisible yeah like when we've it we've succeeded when people forget that we have to do that yeah that mean that's sort of what I meant with like when you put so much effort into something a lot of people don't notice it but in a way that's good because otherwise they've noticed all these mistakes right yeah exactly and it's fight to because like when we first started this series we had two false starts and like both times we just didn't realize how much effort you need to put into the actual filming of it and it's like you're like I don't really feel like getting the camera out to do that it's like no you have to get the camera out and set it up properly do it right and actually part of that we're also because of the conditions of the filming

and Thomas here about to ask where that was yeah where did you guys go for that I don't actually know yeah so the the first one we did was at Hocking Hills me and Robby sort of went there just to try and like just to get it started but Hocking Hills is not like I don't know there it's full of people there's not actual camping except at like campgrounds and it just wasn't interesting and we also learned that like you shouldn't talk for 40 minutes on the screen like you know it's funny we still have that footage though and I had to be real interesting to actually go through it now to see if I could actually like salvage like a maybe 20 minute episode out of yeah yeah because it might be possible yeah oh and the other one was that Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky and so yeah it's more environmental than anything else okay so part of the part of the problem was we had like what - at least we had two other people with us sir yeah there's Danny there no Danny yeah so Derek and we Derek and Sean yeah yeah and like when you're with people who aren't really like in on the whole filming thing it's kind of like you're always like oh I don't want to make them stop to get this shot but also Bryan you can tell the other side cutter well we actually touched upon this in a live video chat we had a while ago but we were not prepared for the mosquitos it was unbelievable and pretty much destroyed any motivation of wanting to camp there we had plans to go there for like three days or two nights at least two nights yeah and we just left the next day in the morning because it was hot awful like we complained about the mosquitoes in at a sleeping bear but this was like this Isis bad yeah and not to mention we got hit by a storm in the night which was apparently like the aftermath of some tornado like in a neighboring state or something I don't know what it was but we got hit by a really bad storm so by the next morning we were just we were and on I was actually trying to remember why we had the rain fly is covering the tarp and it was because the mosquitoes were so bad that was the best part cuz we were like okay well they're gonna be sleeping in a tarp so we'll just give them our rain flies to cover the holes in the tarps so that they don't have to worry about mosquitos and if it rains we'll just tell them to kind of bring them rain flies over and throw them on our tents and the storm just hit suddenly start yeah I just remember waking up to like our friend Derek it's Robbie's cousin's friend and I just remember waking up to him cursing it's like rain rain right and we didn't know with me at him and Brian all in one 10 a.m. - prison 10 I slept surprisingly well that night you know speaking of mosquitos draining all motivation out of you it's funny that Sleeping Bear was mosquitos like it was the rain - but like I think mosquitoes are just particularly demotivating oh he does are licensed they are the absolute worst rain is nothing compared to muskie yeah usually cuz rain it's like you get wet mmm you know whatever you just move on to mosquitoes it's like they're constant nuisance and that the effect is lingering throughout the rest it like like I still have spots on my arms from mosquito bites from from Red River Gorge yeah Red River Gorge oh man I I think I've seen a total of 3 mosquitoes out here in Los Angeles I guess I guess that's the upside to the drought yeah well there's not too much standing water and I think the mosquitoes that I did see probably were born like in the gutter of some grease factory I don't know mutant mosquitoes some greasy mosquito mosquito greasers yeah buy those and you become a mosquito superhero I was actually camping in Algonquin and there were a few poor Taj's where you have to put the canoe over your head and man it's when the mosquitoes are bad they'll get under there and they won't get out and you're carrying this heavy canoe and it's just uh so in our first episode the Thomas kind of gave a little bit of a introduction to himself his origin story his origin story so we figured we do that for each person out here and adventure archives just so you can kind of get to know us better and I guess this week Andrews gonna give a little story about himself yeah so the the story I want to talk is the first time me Robbie and Brian went backpacking like for real backpacking the first time we went backpacking was in Shenandoah National Park and I say for real backpacking because we actually hiked into where we camped but in a sense it wasn't because we were using like these book bags from Walmart with like being strapped to it with rope and we also um we sort of stayed at the same campsite and just like did day hikes but it's funny because I remember when we got there you guys remember we like drove up to the road and well I'll start out with this we didn't tell our parents about what we were doing because we knew they'd freak out and we were so unprepared we didn't even have a plan we didn't know we were hiking we literally got to the ranger station last-minute and we asked the Ranger yeah where's a place to go backpacking and it was like five minutes till closing he's like um this is why I'm so like anal about how having everything prepared before we go on a trip because I don't want another experience like that and like so the guy tells us a good place to go and that's really nice of him and like my mom or my mom and dad were driving us are like freaking out because they thought we were like doing some hot plate car side camping but I just remember like driving on the road and you could see this like meadow going down the slope on the side of the road and you could just see these big bright blue hills everywhere and like you could see for miles but the actual camping was like when I when I first did it like I was kind of unimpressed you were that the - right Brian like the scenery was like yeah well I think we just got a bad tip from the Ranger no offense if he ever listens to this even remembers but like the the path that we took it was called the haul school trail or something I mean it was just like a lot of forces and yeah I was just I mean you expect a lot well we're going to go camping but this was just like nothing but there wasn't really much of any like this right so also the other thing is that the way that we backpacked is not the way that we backpack now because we backpack it in found a site and then just like branched off the next day and then came back and like backpacking in general is like the best way to do it and the way we do it now is where you go hike camp then go to the next campsite and the next campsite and you like to do like a loop or whatever but that way you see something new all the time but that being said like I that trip sort of did influence me in a positive way because when I just remember we stopped at a stream one time to rest and I was like writing in my journal you guys were doing something and I remember staring down the stream where the force was like all open and I was just thinking to myself like I could walk across these rocks all the way down the stream if I wanted to and no one would tell me no no one would say oh you're trespassing on my lawn

no one would say oh that's dangerous we were free from all like all rules legal boundaries social norms you could do anything and even though the scenery wasn't like that great I just came away with this feeling like the true wonder of nature is not necessarily about these amazing views like that's part of it but it's also about just the sense of freedom and absolute like disinhibition that you get when you're out there absolutely dude and that was such a life-changing moment for me no I I completely hear you I mean you guys know me you guys know that I kind of have a stick up somewhere and that's that's why I was like hiking out these parks it's because I really feel like that I feel like I'm able to do things yeah I feel like I'm able to do things more without you know trespassing on somebody's property or someone else getting mad at me just there's a great documentary Ken Burns made on the National Parks and somebody says exactly what you said Andrew you really just feel free you feel like you can go and you can do anything you want it's like that freedom you get from the apocalypse yeah it's like the apocalypse my whole thing is like the wilderness is the place the only place where I feel like you can truly feel free because even in society if you're like even if you're like rich and wealthy and you can do all this stuff you still have the sense where like oh there's certain places you're not allowed to go you know you're not allowed to walk on this person's lon blah blah blah and like you never have that sense except in the wilderness where you're like wow I can go anywhere I want

like and yet what's gonna what's funny is like I was watching Red River Gorge today and I was thinking about how much that our episodes are a lot like RPGs in the sense that you go on an adventure but you have everything that you need right with you and I just love that feeling of like not being attached to any specification and you just go we hike in and then we can't but we stop for a little bit then we move on and it's like it's a very freeing feeling to just be a part of the environment but not feel chained down by it you know absolutely yeah I really love the feeling of having everything on your back or at night when you're in your tent having everything in there except like the stuff that bears will get you know even even day hikes I got this day hike pack and I'll throw some sandwiches in there some water some books a first-aid kit and then I feel so prepared oh yeah this really satisfying crunchy feeling it yeah you know that's probably like part of a huge satisfaction of like everyday carry people and like bug out bag type things it's like just acknowledge that everything you need is right there ready to go

oh yeah and speaking of which man like it's it appeals to my minimalist side so much because you've just had the bare essentials of what you need you don't take like the whole kitchen sink with you you know unless your reindeers know then you make the kitchen god I forgot his name the canoe guy Oh bill Mason I know what you say where's the circus I think next we're gonna talk about places that we've always wanted to go to and does anybody have something in mind right now yeah I do actually to make a long story short I met a friend through a friend who lives in New Zealand and I only know her pretty much like online but we're good friends and she always told me that if we ever came to New Zealand she would show us around and find all the good camping spots and I really want to sometime in the future go to New Zealand and check those places out because I mean New Zealand what are the rings yeah what are the rings it's funny I have a text document somewhere in my computer that says you must go to this place one day and it's some place in New Zealand and if there's a picture attached to it oh yes oh mine I think mine okay there's a lot of places I've been to that I would love to explore a lot more one is the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho I went there like maybe two or three years ago and I remember I was with one friend we were hiking in and kind of like nervous cuz like there was nobody around and it was getting dark and like we were worried about bears and stuff

but then like at night we climbed up this like gravelly rocky mountain like mountainside and we just saw the sunset and it started drizzling a little bit so like the Sun was out but we saw all this rain falling and the next morning we went there for the sunrise is amazing another place with Phelps Phelps lake of course in Grand Tetons but I think one place that sticks out for me that I've never been as Great Basin National Park in Nevada and part of the appeal is that it's just in the West and there's like mountains and stuff but it's also like one of the least visited parks in the nation which would be amazing for the isolation factor and they have these like bristlecones that grow there which are like one of the world's oldest trees or something and I don't know it just always stuck out in me I want to add one more thing to my list too I actually told Thomas this at one point and I think we were supposed to go when we went to Yosemite but I want to go camping around the Grand what I think the Sequoias and the redwoods because I just remember I took a trip we took a trip a long time ago yeah we took a trip a while ago to the redwoods and man it's those gigantic trees are just so amazingly majestic like it's it's weird when you're there it's like you're in some fantasy wait where did you guys go oh this was a long time a long time ago we went with our family the forest moon of Endor ov around in Yosemite uh-huh but man yeah I would I would love to camp there and I know it's totally feasible but what we were supposed to go somewhere near there right Thomas well we are gonna be right near there it's just a shame because it's all closed yeah unfortunate but yeah I guess it's for another for the few some future episode or something yeah Thomas what's uh what's your bucket place yeah it's a place I've seen in the distance but I've actually never gone when I went to Ecuador it's it felt like I was in a different world we drove out of the capital of Ecuador to this mountain region and you could kind of see little indications that the rainforest is nearby now the rainforest itself you know I don't think I want to go backpacking there but there's this mountain that kind of begins the mountain chain into the rainforest sorry that was very choppy and that mountains called cotopaxi it's a volcano and you are able to hike it in a day but you have to wake up really early and you don't get back till really late and you need ice axes and you need to train for it but something like that that to me sounds really interesting just because it's in a different continent different people and you really feel like you're gonna have to be out of your comfort zone to do something that different cool well for me I'm gonna have two answers one is the non-traditional answer which is that I've always wanted to go to Norway and it sounds weird but for some reason just that the culture like I keep brushing into it and like whether it be like a random song that I hear or like I read about like some or there's like a Norwegian YouTube guy who does all sorts of videos about a lenses and cameras and stuff but just like that culture seems really interesting to me and also the landscape just looks amazing but it's just Scandinavia in general yeah just I would love to go to all of those like Norway yeah man sucks fish or whatever it is yeah there's a ray mears episode where he's in Sweden and it just looks amazing yeah and but I'm actually wasn't even thinking specifically as far as the land are the outdoors but just like the cities and stuff itself I would love to do an adventure archives episode that's like in a city we could call it metropolitan memorandum we're gonna name it your metropolitan memory that'd be awesome too in fact let's go ahead and shoot for getting next April first having an episode where we go to some city oh yeah we can even go to like some podunk city and like southern Ohio actually um Toronto would be kind of interesting oh there's Chinese food how would be awesome suit yeah we can meet Billy Dee and oh my god oh my god man okay and then the other one as far as more traditional would be Mount McKinley and for no other reason that I want to go Eska and when I was a kid in elementary school they made me do a report on Mount McKinley and for some reason I became this big expert on it and then I forgotten all of my knowledge of it since but I think it's actually named after a president and I think it's the highest mountain in North America McKim McKinley's from Ohio I think William McKinley yeah there's a statue of him in the Statehouse he got assassinated oh yeah he done did die that's really good but Alaska like Alaska

no but I I've always wanted to go there and like just hike out in those Tundras in those fields and I remember seeing some backpacking video where there's some guys that they like flew in on one of those water planes and what's that Reese Witherspoon movie that's about to come out or that has come out wild wild yeah Wow seem like much fans yeah I saw it and it's been out for a good while man yeah at least several no it was out the last when we were editing Smokies I think well I saw I saw it in theaters um it was good though you say yeah yeah I would recommend seeing it it's it it's less I mean it's more about kind of like the internal struggles and that this character Reese Witherspoon plays but it's still really like entertaining to watch and and you can kind of I mean at least I could because I guess I'm the only one here you've seen it I've seen it Oh Thomas has seen it but I I felt like I could kind of relate to her struggles when she was on the trail because because she's supposed to be like this completely new hiker I mean I won't give away anything but yeah if you have a chance I would check it out Rob okay yeah you know um speaking of which into the wilds a lot of people give Christopher McCandless like a lot of crap because he didn't know like a lot of stuff about how to take care of himself and like they said he should have brought a map and he would have found that thing that would pull him across the river and like those are valid criticisms but at the same time I just feel like that's someone who thought about it and then actually yeah you know how many how many were criticizing him are the people who never actually do anything they just talk about things and then they can come up with the million excuses why they don't do it and that's just one of many it's like Oh see look what happens when you do that you die but there's even like a wilderness people die and I can I can like understand that criticism but I think like a lot of times when I criticize people when I actually examine myself I realize that it's like it's just a way for me to feel better about myself oh my god did just about a hundred percent of the time I criticize other people it's because I'm jealous of what they have like just it's just like a sad state of affairs but just knowing that makes me it makes it less likely to happen but just every time and I think that's just kind of almost almost ingrained in human nature because you see you're envious you see something and sometimes something somebody has you become envious and then your your first reaction is to like just come up with some sort of excuse you know as to why you don't have it so you either criticize the person or you know and sometimes there are legitimate ways and then like I do think we live in a society where a lot of people aren't they don't have a lot of what they would like to have like a lot of people's fundamental needs aren't met and so then it's like I don't know you try to fill it with things I hear you on that for one of the things I keep doing is I'll see somebody who's like socially awkward there's this there's this TV show that I'm it's my biggest guilty pleasure and you can watch these people in a house for 24 hours what TV show Big Brother oh my god and so I've been watching the live streams I say it's for research I think that going oh yeah in season 17 so anyway there's this kid who had really awkward he's 22 he's my age but he's like super awkward like he doesn't eat any food that has flavoring he'll needs bland food all the other houseguests flavor bread I don't know if you know this but is he awkward because of just how he is or is the awkward because of the situation he's been put into I think it's it's both and the way he's responding to the situation he's into is just making him kind of it exacerbates it almost so I'm watching him I'm watching this guy and this big football guy was just beautiful all over I could have chosen a different word he's talking to him and he's like what do you want in your chicken is like I don't want anything

my dad doesn't you know my dad knows not to put the sauce on the pasta when we're making it because I like my food the way it's supposed to taste and I'm looking at my mom I'm looking at him I'm like I see part of myself because I know I used to be socially awkward I know I used to say stuff like that everyone used to be awkward yeah but I I'm like dude I know you have it in you because I know I've overcome my awkwardness more or less kind of and you can yeah it's just I don't know I do exactly what you're talking about because the flaws that we have in ourself we see in other people I mean even the Bible talks about that they say you can't see the split the log in your own eye because you're too focused on the splinter and somebody else's eye you know exactly it should I mean it's like I I know exactly what you're talking about because I think we've all dealt with our own forms of social awkwardness and really it just takes practice to get out of it but like in this guy's particular case it kind of sounds like he hasn't admitted to himself that he actually has a problem yet if he's talking to some guy telling him that his dad cooks the chicken but that's really interesting topic how did we get on that in the first place time out our own criticisms and stuff and yeah the while but yeah I don't know man it's social awkwardness is like you know but on the other on the flip side and this is something I sort of believed for everything where I think a lot of things we view as like bad aspects have a good aspect of them so like for example there's a study that showed people who are socially awkward are actually more empathetic in a sense because they they understand that if they say something awkward it might make the other person uncomfortable and while that like might inhibit themselves it also shows that they're sort of considering other people's feelings yeah a hundred percent true yeah and there's other things too like um like pain I mean a lot of people obviously pain is bad thing but but without pain you know like that one song from one giant leap says if you don't know about one giant leap check that out on YouTube it's called one giant leap what about me just search that but there's a song and the guys like talking about how without pain you can't understand the things other people are going through you can't have any self-discovery without pain or suffering and and then he says the pain free life is seldom free of regret and that's like such a great line oh man and he also talks about how like egos like you know egos can make you really selfish that can make you really vain but it can also make you strive just to do a lot of better things for yourself yeah and you know going back to the pain thing real quick

every

good thing and every learning opportunity in every period of growth is preceded by pain so like whatever you're trying to do it's painful at first like you want to go ask a girl out oh my god dude it's so nerve-racking the first few times you do it then it gradually gets easier the more you practice it the more it gets easy but at the beginning you have to get through that pain period and I think that's kind of what Emmitt about like the regret thing is that whenever you don't get through the pain period in these things and you just let that stop you even though you know you should be doing something that's where that regret light comes from it's funny because we talked about this in Red River Gorge and we also talked about this next point I'm gonna bring up but I actually I do think that for a lot of people they do live a life though where there's way too much pain like more pain than anyone needs you know there's people like living on a dollar a day picking trash people who are like getting killed and stuff and um without going too deep into that I think the thing we mentioned in Rivard Red River Gorge is it's all about finding a balance where you have the suffering and pain that like you would in a natural healthy state and you use that to grow and to learn but you also don't want to live a life where there's too much pain and you also don't want to live a life where there's too much comfort and all you're doing is laying in bed like I did all day like browsing Facebook and ya know it's really tough to find that balance like that's what being a human is really is because we a define that bad we want the comfort but we want the pain like we want to be pushed and we want to like be challenged but then we want to make it's it's so quick it's so applicable in almost any setting you know whether it's school or work or a relationship or a breakup you know when you start feeling those contrasts and you start to feel good and bad and start to distinguish the two that's that's when things really work out there's this great Doctor Who quote I'm gonna try and remember it

there are good things and then there are bad things and just because you have bad things doesn't mean they outweigh the good things

I butchered that but somewhere watch the episode you guys ever heard of the Hindu concept of nervy Kalpa nope so it's basic you have I can't remember what it is but I took world religion okay so it's like existence or the each universe like so our current universe it's split into four parts and like each part has like a percentage of time that it is I can't remember the exact percentage but like the first epoch is like just complete bliss and like you know people are doing all the things they'd be doing with complete bliss the second epoch is like some bad things like a few bad things happening like that was a little weird then the third one is like some bad stuff actually starts happening you're like oh this is not good and then in the fourth epic which is what we're supposed to be in right now it's just like bad things are happening left and right and you're like god what is happening but the actual break a break breakdown of the time that each one of those is comes out to like 60% good and 40% bad it's like if you look at it that way that's like you got to get your life to like 60% good and then 40% bad and that's like a nice satisfying life and you know to to avoid delving too much and didn't nihilism I do want to say like there's there are opportunities to make things good for other people and for yourself I mean like an example being that we have more than enough food to feed every single human being like 3,000 calories daily but there are reasons that that doesn't happen but the point is like a lot of times we think like oh it's just not possible this is just the condition of the world but that's not necessarily true like there's a lot we can do to absolutely it's like just here think about how much food we waste in restaurants why can't we just few people with billions billions of pounds a year or like discolored fruit or misshapen fruit oh yeah yeah gotta do that freakin thing I found the quote and I want to read it and then I'll be done but you guys were talking about you know whether or not something's worth it that contrast and so quickly the episode they tried to save Vincent van Gogh from killing himself they didn't because Vince Van Gogh killed himself and so she said we didn't make a difference at all and then the doctor said I wouldn't say that the way I see it every life is a pile of good things and bad things the good things don't always soften the bad things but vice versa the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant in fact a lot of times it's the two it's the contrast that like makes the other one better like you're hurt bad yeah I'm good so good yeah we live in a digital universe ok well I guess that does it for this week's episode of campfire chronicles this has been episode 2 I'll put the fire out go ahead blow on it real quick just give it up yeah oh no that's only that's only fueling the flames okay well let's just stoke it up and then cook marshmallows yeah but once again everybody thank you so much for your support please please check out our patreon because we're getting closer to our goal of world domination yeah we can't do it without your help once we get our belt we'll be able to go anywhere including the forest moon of Endor yeah and we've got one more episode between now and Oh George Lucas no George Lucas is a college dude you know what we're gonna do we're gonna go see force awakens together or if we're all different places we're gonna make a similar we're gonna release like that as a video of us watching it you know in JJ oh my god JJ Abrams charge our Abrams yeah it's some like premonition and he just didn't get it yeah yeah two J's Jar Jar Jar okay yeah let me just make a racist alien okay all right well that's zucchini for us we will see you guys next week next week's episode is going to be while we are in Yosemite so we're gonna record it ahead of time but while you are listening we will be out somewhere in the mountains oh it's gonna be great take care donate to the patreon watch the episode or just wait till August 10 like a like a chump
