I remember the first time I went camping in the woods by myself, I had a very low budget and a strong will, so I shopped at garage sales and pawn shops for a few weeks and within a month, I had the main components I needed. Found a decent 20° sleeping bag for $5, 10x12 hd tarp for $15, AG russel bowie knife for $20, painters tarp for less than $10, memory foam mattress topper that I cut to use as a bed roll/ground pad for $15ish, a military surplus duffle bag with shoulder strap for $15. I had a blast and for the money I saved, I was impressed. Over the years I replaced all that with quality gear which has made camping more comfortable and enjoyable, but it sure can be done for cheap if you kniw how to shop.
That's amazing how you were able to start your camping journey with a low budget and resourcefulness! It's definitely possible to enjoy outdoor adventures without breaking the bank. Speaking of quality gear, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile and durable power station with a massive capacity and fast recharging capabilities. It can be a reliable backup power source for your camping trips or even for home use. Check it out!
@@ARLGD I can't say I have, I have looked into the Jackyl and some others but I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet, I'm also looking into solar chargers and such too but that's another rabbit hole to dive into lol. Only thing I did do for power wise is get a power converter added to my truck, since it has a 90 amp generator on it, it can power some necessities as needed.
This camping trips I dream of ! Camping during storms ! Man let me tell you , best relaxation and sleep you’ll ever get . Kick back maybe watch a movie on your phone and relax
Luke I have to say thank you! In the last 2 long years I have lost 6 close family members including my dad last year and my beautiful cat 2 days ago! Over that time your posts and videos have been the steady in my life! You keep with the same moral values that I respect so dearly! Now that I’m free of all my obligations my best friend and I are going to hike threw Ireland! Any one who has ideas on waterproof gear that I can purchase in Ireland would be awesome! Can I just say you have the most photogenic wildlife on your mountain!
I love your vlogs! When i was going through Chemo I lost about 50% of hearing in both ears, so I could no longer hear rain on the roof. I have always loved standing, walking, playing in the rain. Now, because of your vlogs I can always hear the rain! Thank You!
There's something I like about your outing videos that gets overlooked. Your gear is clean, but it's clear that it's not fresh out the factory. Just shows how authentic your videos are.
I grew up just east of Hendersonville so your videos make me homesick. Love the NC mountains. Married a girl from New Bern so I am stuck in the coastal plain. Used to sit on my grandma’s front porch and enjoy the mountain rains. Your tent and tarps sound somewhat like our tin roof. Good memories great fun.
Love the rainy videos I sleep like a baby outside in the rain.I would love to see some of the older redo's I've been following you for ever I remember how excited little Luke was when he 1st was successful lighting a fire with a fire steel.
I love to watch your videos it brings back old memories when I was younger doing all the camping, fishing, and Deer hunting. Seeing all the wildlife. At night setting at the campfire raccoons would come up I would throw them food oh how I loved it. The only thing you need is a dog I always had my best friend with me my trusted Collie Lassie.
Be glad for all of the rain. Here in Texas, it's so hot and dry, no rain forecasted here for the whole month of August! It's oppressive and it's taking a toll on the farmers, livestock, hay fields and everything. But we do what we can and pray for some relief. Enjoyed watching the adventure and as always looking forward to the next one!
I will subscribe but I relax hearing you speak and you are a great teacher. Your muscles got bigger young man, looking good and healthy. Muss seeing your sweet lady and the kids. Hope all us good in your world and God bless everyone. 😊
I like camping in really bad weather. Tornadoes always fascinates me. Growed up in Kansas, alot of Tornadoes. Now in Tennessee, we see a few, but not as much. It's very dangerous camping in tornado weather, but I love it. I push things to far sometimes by camping under trees. Wouldn't suggest that to anyone. Way to dangerous. Myself, it's always enjoyable for me personally. I've studied Tornadoes all my life and know what to do if one decides to show up in the area I'm camping. Again, I don't advise anyone to do it unless you really know what your doing. I have fun around Tornadoes, heavy rain, hail, flooding, high winds, etc.... I'm 60. Learned alot about weather over the years. Bad weather makes me feel alive and full of energy. I don't drive, so things can really get interesting in a hurry when a strong storm shows up. I ride my mountain bike with everything I need to survive and have fun. Use to be homeless for about 5yrs. Learned alot about survival during that time, living in the woods. Since that time, I've studied and practiced camping and survival skills each time I go out into a location. Anyway, I say go for it! Go camping, but be prepared and smart about it. Most of all, be safe!!!
Oh my goodness it looks swampy there! If I'd know the heavy rain sound was in this video ..I wouldn't have gotten so cozy in my recliner...found myself with eyes closed just listening to you and the rain! But yeah we got a Jeep Patriot couple years ago to car camp in case we were fishing and decided to stay overnight at last minute! We totally recommend doing this folks! Some of our best trips ..have been car camping! And love your new channel btw!!
I have to laugh when I see these guys with those chairs and cots because the first thing I think is, yes, it's great for you smaller guys. But I am 6'2, 280 lbs. I'd break those things in a minute. Lol. I usually take me a good size air mattress to put in the back of my truck. I have two Gas One stoves and an old fashioned percolator for coffee. Got a good size lawn chair I take with me. And something for beneath the legs on the chair so it doesn't sink into the ground. And of course a bunch of tarps. I love truck camping, whether raining or not. Usually in the fall or spring. I don't go in the summer as I cannot take the heat. I do sometimes in the winter if it isn't too cold. I am 64 and my body just can't take a lot anymore...lol. Have a great day everyone. 18:15
Luke you keep it real man,your the kinda guy that doesn’t have to use brand new pots and pans on every video .As a double amputee I enjoy you taking these awesome outings so we can enjoy.
A Quiet Place is exactly what was hoping for!! I just said to myself, "isn't there a channel with just the nature sounds, rain, coyotes without talking?". Helps relax at the end of the day.
15:49 big snake we get big black snakes here too! the most common ones i see are: Black Swamp Snakes i'm not sure how big they get but i've seen some startling ones around. it's amazing how they climb trees, try googling that for a better description of how it's done than i could give.
hello luke. you are the first i ever watched camping. i always liked when your wife is camping too. i love the adventures you share, tips and relevant knowledge.since becoming interested in camping i wished to go but being handicapped confined to a wheelchair; well it seems impossible. well i like "a quiet place" cause i don't always want o hear talking
You need to rainX all of your windows it will improve your vision on the road tenfold. And you will be able to see out of the camper/cap windows in the rain. And if you want to get into camping and not spend a ton of money, garage sales are a great place to start. I still buy some used items when the prices are good. Last white gas Colman gas stove I bought was only $10 and looked like it might have been used once. I picked up a tent and 2 cotts for less than $150 for my daughter, well I found them she paid for them. You just need to keep your eyes open for deals.
These camping videos are great. I like the tundras trucks. I have a 2010 crew max tundra with 293000 miles on it right now. It still runs and drives like a new truck. Everything works on it . Thank you for sharing your camping videos.
The view from your pickup back down the drive way is beautiful. I think You should sow wild flower seeds all along both sides of Drive. Just thinking of more work for U & the Misses
I loved seeing your old discolored coffee pot. So many reviewers just have all the best new gear on their channel and it just isn't authentic. thanks for that.
I do something like your tarp setup but with an actual tarp, wood poles of various lengths, baling twine and gutter spikes with washers to keep the rope tied on. I use pool noodles cutdown with my jig saw and a single splice down the middle. It allows me to put them on the tarp string so you don’t accidentally trip over it. The poles have a screw on one end that you can hook the tarp grommets over. I’ve used 20’ x 16’ tarps and once at the beach, my ex helped me set up the tarp down the side of the converted horse trailer and an additional tarp at the back of the trailer. I then used carabiners to connect the two tarps. It was a stormy weekend and I had a lot of company under those two tarps. We had moved the fire ring to the edge of the tarp so it was cozy. It was the first weekend out with my new solar panel on top and with the rain I had to use my generator a lot. I put tarps over the stalls for the horses utilizing shorter tarp poles, duct tape and baling twine. Lol. I have camped in the back of my truck using a double mattress from home and later a taller cot then you have here. I have a smallish porta poti that came with a nice cover. I used it as a night stand and a place for Mr Heater to warm it up quickly in the morning. I put a rug on the floor of the truck bed and taped “curtains “ to the windows. It made getting dressed difficult with limited headroom so now the cot is in the front bedroom in my horse trailer. The cot is tall enough to store bins underneath and I have a dresser in the nose of my bumper pull bedroom.
cheap camping like back when i was a teenager and biker. still a biker. we used to go out on bike with a tarp. cover the bikes with the tarp and sleep under it. no sleeping bags, no sleeping mats. just the tarp. life's full of good stuff if you just go out the front door. thanks Luke.
Living in the Piedmont of NC I do not know how you can say it has been cooler this year. I would say it has been hotter than heck! I am so tired of sweating and more than ready for fall!!!
I have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe / Z71 and I go trick camping, the lates one I gone to was at South Lake Tahoe winter camping, I just beat the winter storm that closed interstate 50 just by hours.. I was out there go 4 days and 3 nights..
What the heck? I ENJOY hearing you talk. But I can understand how much easier it must be to have a channel that has no narration. And probably more relaxing to boot. Good idea... but I'll still enjoy your narrated videos as well. You have such a great personality!
Today's pickup truck becomes yesterday's Conestoga wagon. Well done, Luke! Based on your reviews I purchased two Nitecore NB10000 Energy Bricks and two SmartDevil fans for use at my Skeet field in hot & humid south Florida and couldn't be happier with their performance. Great products, great values. Thanks, Luke!
Just a friendly suggestion about the wood. ☺. Next time I might have just grabbed most or all of the wood and dumped it under the tarp or truck to sit and at least not get more wet. Then it would be there maybe drying out in the meantime to keep your (dry 😉) fire going.
The fact people pay for an app to give them this same experience is unbelievable. The sound of rain on a tent or a tin roof is so soothing.❤ Just going to say as a 52 yr old lady you have inspired me to go camping this October. Sir please try red hot sausages with cheese and a little mayo or mustard for breakfast on some sliced bread. We always eat steak with mushrooms and onions and some premade (mine) potato salad and maybe some corn on the cob.
Definitely a peaceful camp ... Coffee sounds great ,what brand ,or a personal blend ?? .. Trail cam video is awesome ,, love seeing wildlife in it's own habitat ..
We live at the edge of town so we see a lot of wildlife. We have deer families passing thru & one that's made a nest in our back yard to sleep in. We always open the front door & they're right there eating the roses. They don't move till you do. Then there's the families of racoons & skunks. Lastly, coyotes pass thru our neighborhood seeking prey. We did have a neighborhood of bunnies and stray cats, but no more. We leave our cat in a lot on account of the coyotes. We actually had less wildlife 30 yrs ago than we do now. They come down from the hills I'm assuming because they've eaten all their food so we have a Facebook community watch that reports when coyotes are present.
Seeing the black snake is a wonderful sign. It is old and has been living there for awhile which means poisonous ones don't. A snake that size would have no problem swallowing any poisonous snake up there and that's exactly what would happen if he finds one. I have witnessed it several times. They never lose.
I wouldn't go camping in the rain without gum boots (wellies, rain boots, rubber boots). If you keep your feet dry, it improves your mood, and makes any other inconveniences easier to deal with. It also helps immensely with keeping the floor of the tent dry and clean. Keep some crocs inside the door of the tent and leave the gum boots outside, covered up, or inside on a mat. Your kids will get used to gum boot rules pretty quickly. Because a dry feet camper is a happy camper.
Great video, Luke! Dude, you get any more muscular we will have to give you a new name...like Hulk. I am the same way with breakfast. I begin my day at Planet Fitness at o'dark thirty, return to my van for coffee, maybe have a light breakfast. My van set up is done with a Safari 10X10. Aqua Quest tarps are the best in my book.
My favorite campsite back in the day cost 12 a night. Now, it costs $28 + $10 per vehicle per night. This place only has outhouses and tables, no RV's tents only.
I camped in the rain a lot in my Boy Scout days, then was in the rain a lot when I served Flag and Country in the Army. So I have noooo desire to be out in the rain anymore. Having said that, I enjoyed this video and all your videos that I’ve seen so far. I’ll check out your new channel. Keep up the great work and the great videos.
In the UK 🇬🇧 you’re not allowed too sleep in lay-bys or side roads. You have too go to a proper site or you find a caravan and camping club rally in a Feild or a Caravan and Motorhome rally. The rally’s are the cheapest way to camp in the UK 🇬🇧. But Scotland is different some islands you can canoe 🛶 or kayak to and camp for free. Other than that. In the Uk it’s too be a proper site. ❤❤❤❤
You are breaking my heart with the weather being stifling!! I would be happy to trade your humid 60-degree weather for my 100-105 with a Heat index of 107-117!! Even with a strong wind it sux!!! 😋 But I love your video's!! 😄
I have camped with cheap tarps from Harbor Freight, 15 dollar hammocks from the big box stores, and inexpensive sleeping bags. It would be great to have all the fancy expensive gear you and other big name RUclipsrs have, but you can get out cheap. I usually do it on the cheap.
The problem with watching your videos is that I end up adding hundreds of dollars of gear to my Amazon account...probably most of which I don't need but I want it! Also Luke it's amazing how well you set up all of your shots. You are constantly changing angles which has to be super time consuming to film. I appreciate the efforts that you put into your videos...they are much more engaging that way!
I just want to have Luke cook for me on a trip. That meal looked great & it was so simple to prepare. I just watched the first video on your new channel. I really liked it. It was so relaxing. Luke, you have the truck camping down to a fine art. I need to step my game up.

Thanks Luke for endless entertainment while I sit on my butt eating chips love from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 😂cheers mate👍

There's something I like about your outing videos that gets overlooked. Your gear is clean, but it's clear that it's not fresh out the factory. Just shows how authentic your videos are.
Luke I love it when you include trail cam footage. Seeing the animals really adds to the outdoor experience.
Nothing is more better than hear the rain natural beautiful I like your videos for that. Thank you for sharing.❤️
I grew up just east of Hendersonville so your videos make me homesick. Love the NC mountains. Married a girl from New Bern so I am stuck in the coastal plain.

Sounds like it's time for a visit!
I am so glad that you pointed out that any car (small or large ) can be super fun to camp in....The point is to get out and explore. You got this : )
Love watching your videos. Very relaxing.
Love the rainy videos I sleep like a baby outside in the rain.I would love to see some of the older redo's I've been following you for ever I remember how excited little Luke was when he 1st was successful lighting a fire with a fire steel.

Be glad for all of the rain. Here in Texas, it's so hot and dry, no rain forecasted here for the whole month of August! It's oppressive and it's taking a toll on the farmers, livestock, hay fields and everything. But we do what we can and pray for some relief. Enjoyed watching the adventure and as always looking forward to the next one!
Right there with ya Texas needs some rain we are hot here
The deer do so neat to watch. I could watch them all day.
We need 10 hours of The OutdoorGearReview in rain :)

I had a 83 GMC 3/4TON I camped the same way for six or seven years the best time I ever had,👍👍👍
It’s nice to see the wide variety of animals. A well-rounded ecosystem.
Luke, my favorite place Lone Wolf Mountain! Thanks for sharing the wildlife pictures. 🦌🦌
Love the trail cams ! That bobcat rocked ! And mmmmm wild Turkey !!
I feel like you live in a rainforest! Can’t believe how much rain you get.

Bears Bobcats Coyotes lol😂
Didn't see one (1) yeah that's keeping it real.... Clowns 🤡🤡
Criticize my reply call me a troll but already I don't lie.
A Quiet Place is exactly what was hoping for!! I just said to myself, "isn't there a channel with just the nature sounds, rain, coyotes without talking?". Helps relax at the end of the day.
Love hearing the popping of the fire. And the rain would put me to sleep.
I'm in Texas and would LOVE 66 degrees and pouring rain! Great video as always!
All that rain sure makes the forest green.

I loved seeing your old discolored coffee pot. So many reviewers just have all the best new gear on their channel and it just isn't authentic. thanks for that.
Hi Luk hi Suzy Thankyou for you lovely videos Godbless 🎉🎉
I do something like your tarp setup but with an actual tarp, wood poles of various lengths, baling twine and gutter spikes with washers to keep the rope tied on. I use pool noodles cutdown with my jig saw and a single splice down the middle. It allows me to put them on the tarp string so you don’t accidentally trip over it. The poles have a screw on one end that you can hook the tarp grommets over. I’ve used 20’ x 16’ tarps and once at the beach, my ex helped me set up the tarp down the side of the converted horse trailer and an additional tarp at the back of the trailer.

The cinematic picture quality of your videos is stunning Luke, i love how clean and pristine the picture is 👌
Love the sound of rain .. mostly play ur vlog audio .. n puts me to sleep .. thanks .. so soothing
Man, trail cams are awesome.
cheap camping like back when i was a teenager and biker. still a biker. we used to go out on bike with a tarp. cover the bikes with the tarp and sleep under it. no sleeping bags, no sleeping mats. just the tarp. life's full of good stuff if you just go out the front door. thanks Luke.
The sound of rain is so soothing, ....coffee and a good book, perfect
This is king video and during rain to camp best idea for upgrading

My wife and I loved this episode of TOGR. It was the sound of the rain. We have not gotten any rain in Texas since late June🥵 Thanks!
Love your video's! You & your wife are amazing. Thanks for all your hard work. We all appreciate them very much. 🌲
I really enjoy your channel every time I watch a video I feel like I'm out camping myself
I always use thunderstorm videos to relax. And rain on a tent is very relaxing too. Great to hear you will start this new chanel 😁
Today's pickup truck becomes yesterday's Conestoga wagon. Well done, Luke!
Based on your reviews I purchased two Nitecore NB10000 Energy Bricks and two SmartDevil fans for use at my Skeet field in hot & humid south Florida and couldn't be happier with their performance. Great products, great values. Thanks, Luke!
My friend love camping she takes her Camry every were and hike to she an outside person love these videos
Nothing more fun than bad weather camping sleep like a baby and air is clean sounds of heaven great show bud!!!
Excellent video's 👍. Love watching your adventures.
Just a friendly suggestion about the wood. ☺. Next time I might have just grabbed most or all of the wood and dumped it under the tarp or truck to sit and at least not get more wet. Then it would be there maybe drying out in the meantime to keep your (dry 😉) fire going.
Luke is the "tarp master" 💪
The fact people pay for an app to give them this same experience is unbelievable. The sound of rain on a tent or a tin roof is so soothing.❤ Just going to say as a 52 yr old lady you have inspired me to go camping this October. Sir please try red hot sausages with cheese and a little mayo or mustard for breakfast on some sliced bread. We always eat steak with mushrooms and onions and some premade (mine) potato salad and maybe some corn on the cob.
Definitely a peaceful camp ... Coffee sounds great ,what brand ,or a personal blend ?? .. Trail cam video is awesome ,, love seeing wildlife in it's own habitat ..
Love the trail cams. You have such a variety of wildlife there. The fawns were precious. 😊
We live at the edge of town so we see a lot of wildlife. We have deer families passing thru & one that's made a nest in our back yard to sleep in. We always open the front door & they're right there eating the roses. They don't move till you do. Then there's the families of racoons & skunks. Lastly, coyotes pass thru our neighborhood seeking prey. We did have a neighborhood of bunnies and stray cats, but no more. We leave our cat in a lot on account of the coyotes. We actually had less wildlife 30 yrs ago than we do now. They come down from the hills I'm assuming because they've eaten all their food so we have a Facebook community watch that reports when coyotes are present.
Seeing the black snake is a wonderful sign. It is old and has been living there for awhile which means poisonous ones don't. A snake that size would have no problem swallowing any poisonous snake up there and that's exactly what would happen if he finds one. I have witnessed it several times. They never lose.
🐍Rise up, snake gang!🐍
You mean venomous 🙄🙄🙄
@@Hobistrawberryberry Congratulations! You won the internet 😅😂
I wouldn't go camping in the rain without gum boots (wellies, rain boots, rubber boots). If you keep your feet dry, it improves your mood, and makes any other inconveniences easier to deal with. It also helps immensely with keeping the floor of the tent dry and clean. Keep some crocs inside the door of the tent and leave the gum boots outside, covered up, or inside on a mat. Your kids will get used to gum boot rules pretty quickly. Because a dry feet camper is a happy camper.
Great video, Luke! Dude, you get any more muscular we will have to give you a new name...like Hulk. I am the same way with breakfast. I begin my day at Planet Fitness at o'dark thirty, return to my van for coffee, maybe have a light breakfast. My van set up is done with a Safari 10X10. Aqua Quest tarps are the best in my book.
Oh my gosh…..I LOVE the wildlife!!!
Great video Luke! Love the ASMR in this one..keep up the good work!
Lovely animals👍😊
Thank you for the video, and I'm looking forward to the new channel as well.
Enjoyed watching u cook!
Hey Luke, I see you have a lot of rain, I really like the Tarp it keeps you dry
Love the trail cam footage! We've got tons of turkeys all over Michigan.
My favorite campsite back in the day cost 12 a night. Now, it costs $28 + $10 per vehicle per night. This place only has outhouses and tables, no RV's tents only.
For me, I love your commentary. I really don’t care for ASMR at all. I’ll happily keep on with this channel.
I'll absolutely subscribe!! I still like listening to these stories!!
Super excited about the new channel.
I camped in the rain a lot in my Boy Scout days, then was in the rain a lot when I served Flag and Country in the Army. So I have noooo desire to be out in the rain anymore. Having said that, I enjoyed this video and all your videos that I’ve seen so far. I’ll check out your new channel. Keep up the great work and the great videos.
In the UK 🇬🇧 you’re not allowed too sleep in lay-bys or side roads. You have too go to a proper site or you find a caravan and camping club rally in a Feild or a Caravan and Motorhome rally. The rally’s are the cheapest way to camp in the UK 🇬🇧. But Scotland is different some islands you can canoe 🛶 or kayak to and camp for free. Other than that. In the Uk it’s too be a proper site. ❤❤❤❤
We love all of your videos. Thank you
You’ve obviously been working out. You should do a video on your work out routine? Camping is a lot more doable and fun when you’re in shape.
Absolutely agree about not needing a lot of money to camp. Improvise, I have a small car, some gear and camp everywhere.
You are breaking my heart with the weather being stifling!! I would be happy to trade your humid 60-degree weather for my 100-105 with a Heat index of 107-117!! Even with a strong wind it sux!!! 😋 But I love your video's!! 😄
I checked out and subscribed to a Quiet Place. It is nice and peaceful, but I like hearing you ralk about things.
Just loved the rain ❤
I really look forward to checking it out
My peaceful relaxation happens when I listen to the rain fall on a tarp....sooooo nice.
I have camped with cheap tarps from Harbor Freight, 15 dollar hammocks from the big box stores, and inexpensive sleeping bags. It would be great to have all the fancy expensive gear you and other big name RUclipsrs have, but you can get out cheap. I usually do it on the cheap.
The problem with watching your videos is that I end up adding hundreds of dollars of gear to my Amazon account...probably most of which I don't need but I want it! Also Luke it's amazing how well you set up all of your shots. You are constantly changing angles which has to be super time consuming to film. I appreciate the efforts that you put into your videos...they are much more engaging that way!
You sir, have an awesome picture!
Go Bruins!!!
After watching Scary Bear Attacks, I was wondering why you fetched your trail cams WITHOUT taking bear spray or a sidearm (?)
I just want to have Luke cook for me on a trip. That meal looked great & it was so simple to prepare. I just watched the first video on your new channel. I really liked it. It was so relaxing. Luke, you have the truck camping down to a fine art. I need to step my game up.
All this from filming your trips to your vacation property? Wow!
Congratulations on your new channel. I hope it works out well for you!!!
Awesome Brother! I'll follow you on any adventure!
