Hi Luke. Great video. I personally just like good old trail hike camp videos like this one. Seems like all the channels are becoming the same. Everyone camps with a dog, now several channels are using electric bikes, and they all are cooking fancy meals. I prefer the good old solo walking camps and keeping things minimal. But I will continue to watch whichever you decide because I love your channel.
The Japanese import sounds like an awesome idea. I have seen a couple of ones from Japan camping with them and they look like so much fun. Great videos as always.
You know I just wanted to say, I watched this laying in bed, sick. And there was one point where I thought “Man he just leaves a lot of cameras in the woods and just walks away from them. That’s gotta be expensive.” That’s when I knew I need to get some sleep. Anyway great video I love your stealth camping content.
There’s nothing prettier than the hardwoods of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, etc. in the fall! Orange, yellow, red, purple, just amazing! Thank you for taking us with you! ~TN Nana
That will never happen, I am an expat British Guy who lives in the US, there is ‘nothing’ in the That compare with what is ‘out there’ in the wild over here. Having lived here for 20 years believe me visiting the Lake District or Scotland is ‘tame’ in comparison.
@@bushcraftboys I am from Hull originally born and bred…ah! That Yorkshire air…breath-it-in. I miss many things and places. Ah! How I wish I could just go into any supermarket and buy the most delicious thing…a ‘Pork Pie’ unfortunately you will not find them here in the US.
Lol I use to live in grimsby my mum was born there,, I was born in South Yorkshire, I love a good pork pie to lmfao.. Hope u still drink good old cuppa tea
You live a very exciting life!! I am an outdoorsy person myself, and I absolutely LOVE it!! My husband and I were always out hiking and camping, we also camped on an island on the Connecticut river in N.H. for a whole week!! What a blast that was!! He sadly passed away a couple of years ago, so I have lost my camping buddy. Do you bring any type of personal protection with you, on your sole trips? If so, you should do a little segment on on some good products. I am in the first quarter of this video, and I want to wish you an enjoyable, and safe time!!!!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of it!!
Years ago I found an '81 Yamaha 850 Midnight Special at a garage sale for $1000. It needed quite a bit of work and maintenance. It was a fun project. That motorcycle brought me the greatest joy as a motocamper. I toured almost all of Arizona, southern Utah, southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. Minimalist camping with a tarp, sleeping bag, air mattress, a Coleman Peak One stove, my GI mess kit and a soft Walmart cooler for a couple of brews and whatever food I picked up along the way. It was a total freedom blast! A Spanish Bota carried my water. I love motorcycles and have been an enthusiast since age 19. Crotch rockets to cruisers. Now at 75 I'm considering a BMW machine on-off road to get deep in the woods and away from all the craziness of our changing world.
Japanese 4wheel Drives are some of the best, they have done Dhaka and all over the world, super reliable and they keep going. But it’s the same as camping in any other car I guess
I use Android. I like Apple's software, but I don't like the hardware or their customer service. Luke, that location you chose was stunning! Thank you for taking us along.
Up until last year it was Android Galaxy Note and nothing else. I finally caved and bought the Apple 13 Pro Max, took some getting used to but now I’m happy I stuck with it. Between the phone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac Mini I can’t believe I’ve ever used anything else.
I recently retired and I live near the Blue Ridge Parkway (Lenoir NC ) and I have been riding a dual sport for a while now. I've decided to try moto camping. I'm trying to purchase a lightweight camp set up has been a challenge with the bulk, weight and cost that has to be taking in consideration, but I like some creature comforts. I watch your videos to get some insight on what makes sense for me and the type of camping I enjoy and see all the great back country this state has to offer right here in my back yard. Motorcycles are risky but I enjoy it. Love your videos.
Android person. I also have the S21 ultra and love the camera. You can get crystal clear moon shots that are absolutely stunning. I've been seeing the ads for the IPhone 14. Looks awesome. I thought about switching. Thanks to your endorsement of the S21 ultra, I'm keeping Android! Without a doubt, my best phone ever! I even bought the Fold 3 from Samsung for $1800! Which is basically a folding tablet. Great for watching RUclips videos and your channel, but that's it. I gave mine to my wife. She loves it! The only issue I have is the screen gets the tiniest of scratches and it needs repair. I run my business completely from my S21 ultra. I rarely use my laptop anymore unless I'm editing company videos, photos.
Get an Electric bike and go camping. You can even get a small pull trailer to tow behind it. You can carry tons of gear, a back pack, bags on on bike plus the small trailer. 👍
Great video! I love watching your adventures. Personally I am a big Samsung fan. I started filming with my Samsung Galaxy s9, I have finally upgraded to the S21 FE and I love it. It takes great pics and video.
Hey man, This video was awesome! Love your narration to the video and the beautiful scenery. The stealth camp was awesome, truly beautiful trail! What trail is that by the way, I would love to try it. Thanks.
Stopped watching corp after being a 3 year fan. He became insufferable torwards his own fans. I put up with the self advertising but it was alot. Every video was a gear ad. I even bough alot of gear using his links.. so it worked. I learned alot, but needless to say i don't feel bad about cutting him out of my watch time. The man thinks he's giving free entertainment.. when we spend hours watching him. Time is valuable.
Here in Germany, it's either a usually cramped official camp ground or stealth. Camping outside of mostly trailer and RV campgrounds is prohibited, unless you have permission from a forset owner to camp, but you can't have any fire then too. The view at the end is spectacular. Get yourself any kind of vehicle you like, Luke. That’s my vote.
A side by side with a dump cart would be a great addition to your mountain property and at home. Its amazing how much work and off road travel you can manage on these. For just cruising or carrying equipment for camping you and Susie would love it. The roll cage around the passenger area is also a welcomed bonus.
I support the motorcycle idea! A lightweight dual sport will amaze you. I ride year round in Hawaii and often bring a small overnight kit with me to stay out
Nice one Luke👍 Even with the windy night, no issues to deal with except a stink bug or two... Try doing this out west on ranch land with no trees just range grass, good luck. Well you have a vehicle that you can use now to go off road and camp, you're choosing not to. I would suggest a side by side ATV, my son and daughter in law bought one last year and have a blast with it. Goes places that can make your heart skip a beat or two but if careful can get you to paradise also. I did it on a Honda 600R for years all over the Rockies, no broken bones but a few scrapes, comes with the territory. Great video and mini adventure, thanks for the work and views, awesome stuff. Enjoy!
Hey Luke I think the Japanese import would be a really cool idea. Love the videos going to go on my first adventure in Kentucky next weekend. Thank you for inspiration and stay safe in your adventures.
Hi Luke and Susie Hope all is well Thank you for sharing another great video. Love all you new ideas for 2023, but considering as a young you had a major back injury, and long drives seem to hurt it as you have mention in other videos, I don't think a motorcycle or ATV would do well for your back. But that would be great adventure, I feel you health is more important to you and your family so I side with the 4 wheeler from Japan. Stay safe and health and the best to you and your family
As a motorcycle owner myself, I would like to see how you handle camping on a bike, keeping in mind that it necessitates some specialized gear to minimize bulk and safety. It would be very interesting. Although I own a touring bike (2020 Honda Goldwing), I imagine you would go with a dual-sport or adventure bike of some sort.
I can't imagine a stealth camp on a Honda Goldwing. I ride a ZZR1400 or ZX14R over there, and that's a big bike, too big for stealth camping. But your Honda, is a Goliath of a machine! 😎
@@charlottejet4338 , I agree with you. I wouldn't attenpt to stealth camp with any kind of motorcycle (much less a Goldwing), but I don't believe he was talking about stealth camping anyway. Regardless, I recommended a dual sport.
Your stealth camping videos are some of my favorites! I’m definitely an Apple fan. I’ve been thinking about also getting the same Garmin watch that you have for hiking. Would you do a review video on it? Do you think it would be worth it?
An E-Bike! More capability than on foot, still stealthy-ish, still “grid-down” friendly with solar. Could be a new area/topic for “survival” prep 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for the awesome vid!
Hi Luke, I'd love to see your take on motorcycle camping as that's where my particular passion lies and I'd like to see the gear you use and review (I've made a number of purchases based on your honest testing and reviews). I also think that the Japanese 4x4 would essentially be more truck camping with a different badge and the ATV would have a limited audience outside of the US (they are incredibly rare here in the UK ).
Thank you sir Luke I always enjoy your video I'm 71 and always looking for new adventure I'm in the philippines all of my family love you and Susie god bless always
I would be interested in your take on some bikepacking trips. testing different budget bags, setups, etc. i know that wasn't an option but i have not found a bikepacking channel with your format and information.
I’m definitely an iPhone gal, Luke. I’m on my third and it’s an iPhone 11. Takes great photos and I haven’t experienced the problem you mentioned. I guess you go with what you know. As for your question, I have never heard of a UTV, nor have I heard of the Prado. Motorcycle camping would be different for you.
I ride a motorcycle. I've been watching your channel looking for tips on camping gear. I carry a tent and a tarp and a couple collapsible poles. If I have to set up in the rain, the tarp goes up first and then I can assemble the tent under cover. The entrance to the tent is covered by the tarp. With the poles, I can also raise the tarp if I break down in the middle of the day in the desert and need some shade. I never know were I am going to be at the end of the day, so I have to be prepared for anything. On a motorcycle, you can see so much more than you can see in a car. I was riding south out of Lone Pine a few years ago. I heard a strange noise and looked to my left just in time to see an F/A-18 Hornet scream past me. My entirely subjective estimate is that it was flying at 600 mph, 200 feet off the ground, and about 500 feet away. Probably going from Fallon to China Lake. Smells are immediate. There is a road in Eastern Washington that, every time I ride it, I can swear I smell dill. Of course, there are stockyards next to I-5 near Stockton. You can imagine what I smell every time I ride through there.
Apple 11, no glitches- paid for. I have never made coffee while hiking. You’re hilarious. I would have found a spot in the morning to make that coffee. Gorgeous colors!
I’m old! I’m also a retired Ft.Worth, Tx. Police Officer. I wanted to be a motor cop. I talked to my sgt. and he said, “ Mike, there’s only two kinda guys that ride motors, them that’s crashed and them that’s gonna!” My brother-in-law always argued with me about my concern over him riding a motorcycle. One day he crashed … broke both of his legs and several bones in his right hand. His friendship with me is much greater now. He no longer owns his Harley. Get that Japanese 4 wheel drive you were talking about. You are an intelligent man. BE SAFE ! Susie would be very upset if something happened to you…so would I !
Luke. I learned to ride a motorbike many years after my passing driving test. It made me a far better driver, and I shortly passed my advanced riding test, thus making me a far safer rider, as a result, if you can get the training, then would I suggest the motorbike direction, but getting a suitable machine that can also handle some off road. You would have the mobility and carrying capacity along with the flexibility of narrow tracks and trails, that neither of the other two would give you. If you were to go down tough terrain then it maybe wise to do so with other riders, able to both watch and take care of each others safety. Like you, I am not a fan of the one stop orchard technology. All the very best and I look forward to wherever you take us in your journeys.
LUKE You talk about doing stealth camping, have you ever thought about doing a winter camp set up in a parking lot snow bank. I saw 1 where a guy did it at a walmart facing away from the parking lot and roads. Just an idea for you to ponder. The guy I watched used a sleeping pad a small fuel burner stove, a shovel and a sleeping bag and some food.
Luke, just enjoyed another one of your videos. I really like the motorcycle idea. When I was younger, I started riding. The sense of freedom and the thrill carving through the air and around the bends is something I cannot do justice with words. BUT, I have a bad back. The jostling of the bike as it goes over uneven pavement painfully overloaded my back. Eventually my back degenerated to the point it was impossible to enjoy riding. However, if the motorcycle option is what you choose, may I suggest taking a motorcyle safety course. The course taught me some of finer points of motorcycle handling and riding. With the techniques I learned, I spent less riding time on handling the bike and more time watching out for other drivers around me. Lookiing forward to what your decision will be.
I am really curious which part of NC this is. I am itching to camp again with my husband & I just can't get enough of nature. It's my therapy after my grandpa left us. I feel so much closer to him when I immerse in the beauty and wonder of nature. I cannot wait to camp and hike some more soon, I just need some decent spots. Could never tell which ones are worth the time and effort. Any suggestions would be great. On that note, I really enjoyed this video, as always. I learn something new every time from this channel
If you are going to start moto camping I think the Honda trail 125 would be a good option . Lightweight, reliable, quiet and great fuel economy . A solid choice for minimal impact moto camping. As for importing a suv consider a Kei class. About the same size as a UTV but fully inclosed with heat and AC , you could also get a mini pickup or 4wd van. Guess it depends on how you want to use it, what's available and how much money you're looking to spend . Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do 😁
With motorcycle camping you have several options. I have camped with My Motorcycle it is a cruiser. That means street riding or well maintained 2 track and very limited limited space for gear. You can also look at full dresses. Honda Goldwing, Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic, ect. This type of bike gives alot more storage but again limied to road use. Today Adventure bikes are growing in popularity. This bike gives both on and offraod capabilities. Which obviously would open a ton of camping opportunities. Space is limted but for a minimum light weight camping capable person like you this shouldn't be a problem. In fact I feel you would really enjoy it. So lots to consider if you want to do M/C camping. Looking forward to see what you decide on doing.
There is a certain question I would like to ask you about camping in a thunderstorm. I figured you would know a lot more, because of the special skills you have learned from doing it yourself. I do love thunderstorms and all, but what if one would come up unexpectedly and your to far away to leave and you get stuck having to stay out in the tent for the rest of the night. People say that it's a bad idea. So could you please explain to me the do's and dont's when you are in a tent, what's the best thing to do to keep yourself from getting struck by lightening? .......Thanks Luke....great work!...👍.... Diane from Atwater Ohio
Truly surprised at the lack of responses to your question about preferred phone. Definitely prefer Android phones. Currently with a Motorola, but my previous 2 were Samsung. I am forced to use an Iphone 10 for work and absolutely annoyed with it. Thankfully work pays for the phone and the cell plan. lol Great video of your adventure.
Luke, have you considered getting a used Toyota 4Runner? I just got a 2017 Limited and will be modifying it to go more off road. At least it has heated/cooled leather seats - a plus in hot or cold weather. They're reliable and run for way longer than other vehicles. The Limited also has a V6 normal aspirated engine.
I reckon you should get yourself a really small 4x4 like Suzuki Jimny and roam around and camp with that vehicle. Now that would be a small SUV camping !
I´ll add my 2 cents to this "future videos" conversation. I vote for the motorcycle (but I own a motorcycle so I am biased). The way I see it, you have two pro-motorcycle arguments (amongst many others). First - if you are ever going to do it, do it now, noone gets any younger and finally doing it ten years from now is going to be, well kinda harder. Second - when you take four wheels, you basically drive to your campsite. When you take a motorcycle, adventure starts the moment you leave your home - so basically it adds the transportation adventure to the event much like walking/hiking to your camping spot. When it comes to motorcycle choice - unlike all the dualsport enthusiasts say, you can actually ride a heavy cruiser to almost anywhere on a relatively clean and smooth gravel/dirt road, it is just a matter common sense (meaning slower) speed and calm riding.
Almost filled my Steve Wallis void. Almost. Still a great video! Thank you.

I have Samsung s22 ultra. Great pictures! Android for sure. Camping with Steve does that!
Right on! I love a good stealth camping adventure. 😁 *Like #1!
Your stealth camping videos are some of my favorites!
I’m definitely an Apple fan. I’ve been thinking about also getting the same Garmin watch that you have for hiking. Would you do a review video on it? Do you think it would be worth it?
Sure is a beautiful area. Awesome fall camp adventure, Luke.
An E-Bike! More capability than on foot, still stealthy-ish, still “grid-down” friendly with solar. Could be a new area/topic for “survival” prep 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the awesome vid!
Hi Luke, I'd love to see your take on motorcycle camping as that's where my particular passion lies and I'd like to see the gear you use and review (I've made a number of purchases based on your honest testing and reviews). I also think that the Japanese 4x4 would essentially be more truck camping with a different badge and the ATV would have a limited audience outside of the US (they are incredibly rare here in the UK ).
Agree. Would like to see it
I would like to see motorcycle camping. Make sure the bike has saddlebags for all your gear
Thank you sir Luke I always enjoy your video I'm 71 and always looking for new adventure I'm in the philippines all of my family love you and Susie god bless always
Poking fun at camping with Steve.
I Caught on to that😏
Oh my goodness a motorcycle camping video would be sweet! I just bought a moped and I plan to do some winter/spring/summer camping adventures
The UTV sounds fun. I love the pretty leaves in the fall and the views there were awesome.
Can’t wait to see you!
Would love to see you get a UTV and have some adventurers with it. Yamaha and Honda are both solid choices.
Thank you awesome video! Mr. Luke
YES! Please do Motorcycle camping, it's such an relaxing experience riding up and down with the wind on your face and camping next to it.
Stealth camping on your own land. Good content.
I would be interested in your take on some bikepacking trips. testing different budget bags, setups, etc. i know that wasn't an option but i have not found a bikepacking channel with your format and information.
I’m definitely an iPhone gal, Luke. I’m on my third and it’s an iPhone 11. Takes great photos and I haven’t experienced the problem you mentioned. I guess you go with what you know. As for your question, I have never heard of a UTV, nor have I heard of the Prado. Motorcycle camping would be different for you.
I ride a motorcycle. I've been watching your channel looking for tips on camping gear.
I carry a tent and a tarp and a couple collapsible poles. If I have to set up in the rain, the tarp goes up first and then I can assemble the tent under cover. The entrance to the tent is covered by the tarp. With the poles, I can also raise the tarp if I break down in the middle of the day in the desert and need some shade. I never know were I am going to be at the end of the day, so I have to be prepared for anything.
On a motorcycle, you can see so much more than you can see in a car. I was riding south out of Lone Pine a few years ago. I heard a strange noise and looked to my left just in time to see an F/A-18 Hornet scream past me. My entirely subjective estimate is that it was flying at 600 mph, 200 feet off the ground, and about 500 feet away. Probably going from Fallon to China Lake.
Smells are immediate. There is a road in Eastern Washington that, every time I ride it, I can swear I smell dill. Of course, there are stockyards next to I-5 near Stockton. You can imagine what I smell every time I ride through there.
luke thanks for doing this I been watching everyone of them
Moto camping sounds good, and the truck idea is also good.
Apple 11, no glitches- paid for. I have never made coffee while hiking. You’re hilarious. I would have found a spot in the morning to make that coffee. Gorgeous colors!
I’m old! I’m also a retired Ft.Worth, Tx. Police Officer. I wanted to be a motor cop. I talked to my sgt. and he said, “ Mike, there’s only two kinda guys that ride motors, them that’s crashed and them that’s gonna!” My brother-in-law always argued with me about my concern over him riding a motorcycle. One day he crashed … broke both of his legs and several bones in his right hand. His friendship with me is much greater now. He no longer owns his Harley. Get that Japanese 4 wheel drive you were talking about. You are an intelligent man. BE SAFE ! Susie would be very upset if something happened to you…so would I !
Luke. I learned to ride a motorbike many years after my passing driving test. It made me a far better driver, and I shortly passed my advanced riding test, thus making me a far safer rider, as a result, if you can get the training, then would I suggest the motorbike direction, but getting a suitable machine that can also handle some off road. You would have the mobility and carrying capacity along with the flexibility of narrow tracks and trails, that neither of the other two would give you. If you were to go down tough terrain then it maybe wise to do so with other riders, able to both watch and take care of each others safety. Like you, I am not a fan of the one stop orchard technology. All the very best and I look forward to wherever you take us in your journeys.
I just did my first stealth camp, it was pretty cool, I heard a pack of coyotes near me crying at 2 AM, kinda creepy lol.
LUKE You talk about doing stealth camping, have you ever thought about doing a winter camp set up in a parking lot snow bank. I saw 1 where a guy did it at a walmart facing away from the parking lot and roads. Just an idea for you to ponder. The guy I watched used a sleeping pad a small fuel burner stove, a shovel and a sleeping bag and some food.
Bet you were looking forward to a good take out coffee on the way home. The mountains of North Carolina looks incredibly beautiful
Luke, just enjoyed another one of your videos. I really like the motorcycle idea. When I was younger, I started riding. The sense of freedom and the thrill carving through the air and around the bends is something I cannot do justice with words. BUT, I have a bad back. The jostling of the bike as it goes over uneven pavement painfully overloaded my back. Eventually my back degenerated to the point it was impossible to enjoy riding. However, if the motorcycle option is what you choose, may I suggest taking a motorcyle safety course. The course taught me some of finer points of motorcycle handling and riding. With the techniques I learned, I spent less riding time on handling the bike and more time watching out for other drivers around me. Lookiing forward to what your decision will be.
Motorcycle camping would be an awesome idea and every one of your ideas sounds great greetings from me from Germany
I'm a android person. 💜 Always a joy watching your adventures. Thank you
I am really curious which part of NC this is. I am itching to camp again with my husband & I just can't get enough of nature. It's my therapy after my grandpa left us. I feel so much closer to him when I immerse in the beauty and wonder of nature. I cannot wait to camp and hike some more soon, I just need some decent spots. Could never tell which ones are worth the time and effort. Any suggestions would be great. On that note, I really enjoyed this video, as always. I learn something new every time from this channel
If you are going to start moto camping I think the Honda trail 125 would be a good option . Lightweight, reliable, quiet and great fuel economy . A solid choice for minimal impact moto camping.
As for importing a suv consider a Kei class. About the same size as a UTV but fully inclosed with heat and AC , you could also get a mini pickup or 4wd van. Guess it depends on how you want to use it, what's available and how much money you're looking to spend .
Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do 😁
Mini-SUV camping is something many people could do as well and people of any age can "follow" along.
Thanks for what you do. I personally like the channel as it is. Your style is unique.
With motorcycle camping you have several options. I have camped with My Motorcycle it is a cruiser. That means street riding or well maintained 2 track and very limited limited space for gear. You can also look at full dresses. Honda Goldwing, Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic, ect. This type of bike gives alot more storage but again limied to road use. Today Adventure bikes are growing in popularity. This bike gives both on and offraod capabilities. Which obviously would open a ton of camping opportunities. Space is limted but for a minimum light weight camping capable person like you this shouldn't be a problem. In fact I feel you would really enjoy it. So lots to consider if you want to do M/C camping. Looking forward to see what you decide on doing.
There is a certain question I would like to ask you about camping in a thunderstorm. I figured you would know a lot more, because of the special skills you have learned from doing it yourself. I do love thunderstorms and all, but what if one would come up unexpectedly and your to far away to leave and you get stuck having to stay out in the tent for the rest of the night. People say that it's a bad idea. So could you please explain to me the do's and dont's when you are in a tent, what's the best thing to do to keep yourself from getting struck by lightening? .......Thanks Luke....great work!...👍.... Diane from Atwater Ohio
I choose the four-wheel drive then Suzie can go too. Thanks for the beautiful video!
Great video. I would vote for the motorcycle. You'll be able to get to more destinations, and you mostly go alone, perfect for a bike.
Truly surprised at the lack of responses to your question about preferred phone. Definitely prefer Android phones. Currently with a Motorola, but my previous 2 were Samsung. I am forced to use an Iphone 10 for work and absolutely annoyed with it. Thankfully work pays for the phone and the cell plan. lol Great video of your adventure.
Luke, have you considered getting a used Toyota 4Runner? I just got a 2017 Limited and will be modifying it to go more off road. At least it has heated/cooled leather seats - a plus in hot or cold weather. They're reliable and run for way longer than other vehicles. The Limited also has a V6 normal aspirated engine.
Motorcycle camping is awesome. Me and a buddy started a few years back.
I reckon you should get yourself a really small 4x4 like Suzuki Jimny and roam around and camp with that vehicle. Now that would be a small SUV camping !
Great video! Love the Japanese import idea too!
That view was amazing.
I´ll add my 2 cents to this "future videos" conversation. I vote for the motorcycle (but I own a motorcycle so I am biased). The way I see it, you have two pro-motorcycle arguments (amongst many others). First - if you are ever going to do it, do it now, noone gets any younger and finally doing it ten years from now is going to be, well kinda harder. Second - when you take four wheels, you basically drive to your campsite. When you take a motorcycle, adventure starts the moment you leave your home - so basically it adds the transportation adventure to the event much like walking/hiking to your camping spot. When it comes to motorcycle choice - unlike all the dualsport enthusiasts say, you can actually ride a heavy cruiser to almost anywhere on a relatively clean and smooth gravel/dirt road, it is just a matter common sense (meaning slower) speed and calm riding.
