Those walking by shots always make me think of the creator having to walk back and get the kit when the shot is done, appreciate the effort 👏
as someone who did the same, can confirm ;D
Some say acting but its actually reacting.
@@superdomiq ,
I was thinking ,
Maybe he use a drone ,
Flying stationary for a few moments, and retreive the drone.
Feasible ?
Lol me to and there an overdose of walking here
Am a 60+ grandmother who enjoys these videos very much! Love to see the new gear and how the weather is going to treat you! Thanks for taking us along and your camera is working great!!
What I most appreciate about your content, Mr Luke, is your positive attitude in the face of adversity. Many would turn back way before you laugh, and say, “that’s just the way it is, everyone.” 👍
When a 3 mile hike turns into 10 having to keep going back to get the camera. Great job as usual.
Actually drives me crazy, I can stand a few of the go backs but personally prefer just the journey, personal choice obviously as it must be a requisite now as they all do it except Haze outdoors who makes a joke of it.
@@alexandrastevens8892 honestly probably just use a high quality drone fly it land it in position then walk past then off screen fly it again at least thats how id do it
@@alexandrastevens8892 my bbbbbbb
😁😁😁 This is what I want to say
This the only person i know when the weather gets worse he gets excited lol
HaHa ... Luke's one excitable little puppy that's for sure. Goes n Does what others dare not do. Great vid. Bushyboy Oz.
Well I do too.. there's many of us...
Farmer here. Bad weather, most of the times, means more money. So bad weather is good weather.
lol, I love it when the weather gets bad and the only time of year I don't like camping is the summer :)
If it ain’t rainin’ you ain’t trainin’!
The thing I love about my Tundra, I know when I turn that key it’s gonna start and all systems will work. I’ve been a Toyota guy since 1987 and never regretted it. Good choice, Man!!! (Back 7 mos later). That had to be miserable, taking the tent down in the rain. You made the right decision to continue. In my experience, the storm conditions would not have gotten better. You were early on the road and the best conditions. Glad you got home safe and sound. Texas
I got a 88 toyota 4×4 one ton. Had many offers, but when I die I'm taking it with me.
My Prius is cool...
I'm thinking about saving up for a down payment on a Toyota Tacoma. TRD off-road or TRD pro.
@@Prodigalson0078 I've owned them all, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, for the money Toyota is the best. I'm not happy to say it, but it's true. Change the oil, don't abuse it and it won't let you down.
@@chriscarey1478 shoot, half of Ford is made in Mexico. From what I understand there's a Toyota factory here in the states.
A trick that I'll use on my next trip, which is using the chair for collecting tinder shavings... That's a great idea! 👍
Would be cool if you did a collaberation with the "hunker down" guy... imagine you two out there... veeeery budget gear loadout... semi bad weather and 1 litre of whiskey each... lmao
Him and Steve doing a step 2 would be EPIC.
1 liter each? So just an overnighter....
Steve Wallis will go down as a RUclips great.
The way you constantly pump out quality content is just astonishing 😲
Think about how many people Luke has taught to camp by watching his videos! I’m one of them. Started really last Sept and have been in the woods on most weekends since.
I agree with Luke about people leaving trash. Leave no trace behind with vengeance isn’t that hard.
Been watching him from the beginning and it's great to see him still inspiring and helping others. He has mastered his art.
His videos are what got me started! His dedication to the channel (and getting nothing significant out of it financially) is amazing 👏
Absolutely unbelievable the amount of time & effort that Luke puts into filming/producing all his video. Am sure that Sussie must be instrumental too!
Thank you everyone, I appreciate you all very much.
- Luke
Alone in the woods in an ice storm reading Red Dragon...A feast for all the senses!!!
❤I can watch Luke's video all day, the are very relaxing. Thank you
First time I went Fall camping with my cousin I brought my daughters Barbie sleeping bag. I think it was rated at 75°F. They called it Barbie bag all weekend. Nowadays I bring a Coleman propane heated shower with me.
Me too! Very relaxing 😌
I love how you include stories from when you were younger. It definitely adds another element of connection from us as your viewers and you and your wolf pack.
Living vicariously until my vacation.
By the looks of the white claw drinks and Walmart gear it’s Obviously a camp site of inexperienced college students
Nothing wrong with Walmart gear
@@roastingpeanuts For the money their gear is trash. Some of their products arent terrible but a lot of it is practically single use. Spend just a little more and you can get stuff that is much better
@@1FAST91SONOMA very true! I concur from personal experience
@@roastingpeanuts litter hogs!! Nothing more...
But he found out why they left in such a hurry
Thanks again Luke for taking us on another exciting adventure with you. Loved hearing the bobcat :)
The picture quality is definitely a lot sharper and clearer with this new camera.
I like how you’re always upbeat. Most people would be swearing with those circumstances. Love the videos.😁
I would be really freaked out!
It's why the videos are so addictive and awesome - positivity. Negativity is dime-a-dozen and predictable. Luke's videos feel like you're on the adventure as well.
I love watching this kind of content while wrapped up warm and cosy in bed. I've been in the storm camping senario & I've had wet bedrooms in the tent & sleepness nights, with drowsy mornings or even had to run out and spend the night in the car watching the tent take water like a thirsty dog & had to down wet in dreadful wet weather. So I know that miserable feeling oh too well, & watching from warm bed as someone else deals with all that cold and discomfort is so comforting.
Me too , lol
Yay, free camping gear 😃😝, what I like about Mav and Steve Wallace is they pick up any trash they see while camping , I do the same when I’m on hikes or just on a walk in town if I can
LOL at this guy. "ATTACKED BY AN ICE STORM." *rains*
Hi Luke Michael here I just want to say that you have a very good observation on that backpack, especially talking about the 3 and a 1/2 inch spread around the neck.👍💯
I don’t use Km or Celsius, but I appreciate you doing that every time, I hate watching videos based in other countries and they say a temp or distance and I have no idea what they are talking about lol.
Not many countries who use imperial system anymore.
That was a nail bitter Luke, glad you made it home safe!!! Thanks for the adventure 💦
The video quality of this episode is absolutely superb. Luke always delivers quality, but this is on a whole new level. Felt like Luke had a team doing the filming for him. Fantastic!
Great clarity and focus from this camera. I’m a retired act teacher and I had several students who had me teaching them photography techniques. You do very well with your clips of your activities. The only thing you need to do is convince Susan to go along with you on more of your adventures. Keep up the great hikes and always be KIND . Michael😊
Luke: " I tend not to go out into freezing storm"; elements :"challenge accepted" Nature showing us again who has the upper hand
Nature....there for you when you need a little humbleness. 😂
that's when to go. you learn so much more about how to deal with it. it doesn't get boring that way
I liked the rear view in the truck. Reminds me of the 1000's of miles I rode in the back of my dad's pickup as a kid.
Fantastic video! I think this camera’s video is of “better quality” than the other camera (s) you’ve used in the past.
Really? He says hes hiking in thick forest. Lol I haven't even seen any tough hiking in a thick forest? Seems pretty flat and trees arnt even close to each other. Throughout the whole video. Not real
Sasquatch. They took off. Look up the "torn up camp". There was some folks that some bad stuff happened to campers, in the big thicket in Texas
I was thinking the same thing! They may have had a Sasquatch encounter and fled!!! But if they just left there stuff behind just because then they are wrong and shame on them!!
Space alien abduction...maybe just local aliens.
It probably was a Sasquatch I had an encounter with my wife a few years ago it charged us coming out of nowhere this hairy ape was fast like Michael Jackson in 86 luckily my wife was getting fat and I pushed her down never looked back
Despise people like the ones that leave their trash and destroy trees when there isn’t a need.
I teach my son no trace when we are out hiking or camping.
The color in this video with this Camara are perfect and very natural. Looks so real.
I love how you walk the roads and into the woods.
Love the crispy clear camera and natural color!
Anyone else thought that Luke should have picked up an item at the abandon campsite, doing at least some clean up? Perhaps picking up the hatchet for himself or for somebody else? Well, that would consider doing a Choppy clean up...
First thing I thought when I saw the reindeer stew was, "How did Santa get home?"
Uber.
He drove his Mercedes haven't you seen the commercials at Christmas time?
Jet Blue
Was surprised to read Swedish all of a sudden on that reindeer MRE :D
Think it's a Norwegian stew actually, we don't spell it Gryte her in Sweden we spell it Gryta.
Am I the only one who thought, when he ran into the abandoned campsite, "Wow, someone got killed right there"?
Who leaves a good hatchet like that and their tent at the very least out there. Looked like the tent collapsed instead of taken down. Wonder if anyone went missing in that area..
Might have been a bear or booger. If you're traumatized, you're not coming back.
First thing I thought. Whoever bailed on that didn't do it because of the weather.
I thought a bear attack!!
Aliens.
No one has ever taught me how to negotiate or determine when and how to drive through things like this. I am greatful.
"You have to be careful out in the middle of nowhere" - Yep, that's why my 12 gauge shotgun accompanies me out in the bush every time.
I had the worst anxiety attack tonight, I’m still having it and I’m using your video to get my mind off it. So far it’s working. Thankyou man
Hope you're feeling better today, not a great experience, take care
@@alexandrastevens8892 thankyou so much 🙂
Crazy storm Luke, thank you for the adventure my friend 👊stay safe, stay well👍✌️
I really like this new camera. Personally, I like it better than the previous one.
Opening track was fire! Great selection! Also I work in auto claims and I wish people took half as much care as you do driving in these types of conditions.
Another bushcrafter said always use a pump to inflate your mat. The moisture and heat from your lungs will make it stretch and flatten and become less ìnsulating.
Good video, I enjoyed it.👍☺
Damn, what a trip. I'm glad all we have to contend with here in England is the rain and mud, lol
That blue sky is so pretty. With the black silhouettes of trees in front of it....
Luke with that opening music I thought I was going to see fog machine , u dancing the night away
You jogged a memory when you mentioned being ready to change plans on the fly. I went on a solo overnight backpacking trip about 35 years ago, picking a place I’d been to before, but not for awhile. I got a later start than was ideal, and once on the trail, well, I lost the trail, finding myself on a steep slope. It was also getting dark and very cold. I realized I would have to make do somehow. There weren’t any really flat places, but I found a spot just big enough for myself and my sleeping bag, up against a tree so I wouldn’t roll down the hill! I didn’t sleep comfortably, but I was warm enough. In the morning I decided that had been adventure enough, and took the shortest route back to my car, a picnic table and hot coffee!
40:28 Holy crap I almost freaked that broken tree stump on the right side looked like a tall skinny man for a second I thought!~ lol Damn! Slender Man! kidding!
We called him the boogey man in my day.
The drip drip of the raindrops falling makes for a good night sleep 10 hour video.
When I saw the abandoned campsite my first thought was "they are planning to come back" rapidly followed by "they're not nice people to leave this garbage" then "seems they think they're all alone up here". Added up that equals meth-heads. Even with protection I'd be FTS- I'll find someplace else to set up for the night. Better to avoid fools than to have to deal with them.
I would check & see if anyone was reported missing in that general area.
It looked like it was abandoned in a hurry.
I was thinking bear attack.
So true, could be meth heads or dopers.
my immediate thought was homeless when he came up on it
@@p-ziniewicz2085 jeez people sometimes leave mess, it’s not nice but it doesn’t necessarily mean drug addicts, missing people or other grim stuff, sure it’s good to plan ahead but everyone replying here seems to think it’s gospel that it’s definitely bad stuff
Luke the first thing i noticed with this filming is the video. It is way more beautiful and smooth than your previous video. Great upgrade. More power luke
I had a chuckle when I saw on the screen “double nasty” coffee! Love it!
I have a nature hike 2p backpacking tent that I have has since 2016 and have never had an issue. It keeps me dry and I completely trust it. I feel like it is great quality.
I must say, I did notice a different quality on the videos, and I love how crisp, light and accurate the colours are. Must be a great camera ! ;)
Also, as others have pointed out: impressed by how good content you push out on a regular basis. Keep up the great work !
Love that you use metric system for distance; degrees as an European !
Hi, I am watching this in June 2022. When you mentioned how quiet it was there except for the jet flying over head, a plane flew over our house just after you said that. Funny. Felt like I was sharing your experience. The good thing about this kind of weather is that no one else is out. So you can drive slow and careful without being tailgated and able to take wide turns as needed. Thanks for sharing
I so enjoy your videos. Love it when Susie goes along. You both have such a great positive attitude. Love the winter ones the best.
“It’s been raining quite a bit out here” then you notice the light pond his tent was on. Also I love your attitude towards weather, I’m the same way. It’s the experience, both from the situation and your own past experience. I do camping/bushcraft stuff all the time when it rains or snows just to improve my techniques.
Could you please share the details on your Chest Pack? I also like using a chest pack with my back pack. Always enjoy your videos...thank you!!!!
Budget gear challenge: stuff from the dollar store. Up here in The Great White North, Dollarama sells assorted camping tools and accessories. I’d love to see gear from that price bracket tested.
I paused at 2:44 - My prediction, having read the description: NH tent’s toothpick poles will never stand up to ice, and Luke bails when it starts raining icicles.
Great channel! Very interesting.
Here's a suggestion for a tent review: McKinley Easy Up3 (2 person, automatic deploy tent)
Seeing that trash in the woods reminds me of the video @bluegabe and @kellyyoung put up about all of the trash in the ocean, the Indian with the tear streaming down his cheek from the commercial in the late 70’s about pollution really hit me hard. It’s so heartbreaking to see how people treat our Mother Earth.
Your right, but have no fear. Mother Earth will always have the last laugh ; floods,tornados, earthquakes, and so on.
camera and video quality and clarity is better than the previous! The previous ones have not had any issues at all, but this is noticeably better from my perspective!

At least gather up the trash?
No??
The video quality is OUTSTANDING. The content is on target. The scenery is gifted from God.
Got it all??
Such a mess they left... And looks like they spent money on stuff they just abandoned.. you probably couldn't show it on the screen but I hope you got the cordage and anything else you could utilise..
Great video again..
Luke Vs weather...
I doubt Luke would take their stuff, abandoned or not. He has quality gear and it could be argued that he'd be stealing (despite the very real appearance of abandonment). He's the type of guy that'd consolidate the trash for collection later.
@@gymkhanadog very true.. but for me you can never have enough cord...
And it all looked very very new and un used..
One good option for freezing rain if you happen to be camping and caught in it, are cave bluffs and caves. Got caught out a time or two on Mt Leconte in TN and stayed under the cave bluffs till the freezing rain was done.
Dumping gear because it weighed to much to hike out with? People are such morons. Thanks for another fun adventure, Luke!
I’ve experienced “ thunder snow “ 3 times now .. it is AWESOME
The camera seems to have great low-light capabilities!
Hey Luke! Thanks for allowing those of us who aren't able to get out in nature that frequently. I'm vicariously living through your content while I'm going to school and working. Spring break is coming up, and I'll be making it out for some longer hikes.
Awesome adventure Luke, I never miss one!! I live vicariously through you!!! Camera quality is excellent, are you in bigfoot country? Strange how someone would dump such awesome camping gear..
I thought the same thing that Bigfoot scared them off. There were some quality items left like the small hatchet and the black rope seemed to be of mountaineering quality.
Yes! I thought the same.. nice hatchet, lots of good looking cordage, they even left their tent behind.. wonder what the heck happened?!
Even Montreal steak seasoning 😂
I was never interested in the outdoors until I ran into this channel. I love the content!
Every time Luke sits by the fire and talks to the camera I have a habit of looking over his shoulders to see if there’s an animal or another human being creeping up behind him.
what i need before sleep..
Good job brother
❤️
Do you ever plan on making full meals again? I loved camping cooking but just adding water isn’t very exciting.
I agree, I loved the cooking
You left camping at the best of times for camping ! Awwwwe!!!!!!
I'm used to quality footage on this channel. It's difficult to tell a difference from usual.
I woke up at home when I was a kid to having slept through an ice storm. All of a sudden I heard what I would have sworn were multiple gun blasts. I hit the floor and made my way to the window to look out. It was then I saw the spectacular show nature had for us and realized what had happened. Lots and lots of branches broke after that storm. So I totally get the idea of not wanting to be in a dense forest with that happening! So scary to think about!
The site he came upon looked like a junkie incampment
Luke I spent 33 years working for the Missouri Dept of Conservation. As you can imagine almost all my work was outdoors so the daily weather forecast was important stuff, not to mention my hobbies of hunting, fishing, camping, ATV riding etc. Basically my life is the outdoors. Could’t tell you how many times you’d make plans based on the forecast only to wake up in the morning with a totally different forecast. Adapt and overcome. Love your channel, long term subscriber. Keep up the great vids. Strength and honor to you my friend.
Even if there’s a chance of a thunderstorm, I’ll load a chainsaw and fuel in the truck.
You should keep a set of tire chains in your truck. :)
Thanks for another adventure!!
3 mile loop in + placing the camera ahead + going back and retrieving the camera like 20 times = 12 miles total?
H.701...……………..especially that last shot leaving the camp site twice ?????? did he go back again ?
Maybe. But, to answer Stephanie's question; I watch a video without signing in to Google, until I get the urge to make a comment, how I seem to comment too early in a video, ahead of Luke's lead talking about his new camera.
Cool story about Great Grandpa, and since most of them passed along similar stories, "brutal winters" and people working all year to prepare, plus we kids had similar frozen creek stories: it all adds up to winter being different these days. I bet Grandpa had a big old canvas roll, a wool blanket, and maybe a mule.
I've run into a few meth heads on my hiking travels. There's a reason I am always armed. The craziest people you'll run across are druggies and their distributors.
I went thru a winter around 1990-- its the worst one I've ever seen in my 78 years for just cold. About six inches of snow and was minus
20 degrees Fahrenheit every day for 10 straight days. The thing I was remembering is how the hardwood trees were popping like a 22 RIFLE. All night long. They split down the growth rings and really are loud.
Come on man, you could have done an hours clean up at that site and that would have made some difference.
No excuses for the people who left that site like that, but you had the means to tidy the place up and at least have centralised the garbage.
Payback would have been new ownership of the abandoned axe, which could have come in handy for additional protection and the ropes and lines for sure could have been utilised. Expected better from you. Don’t just test the equipment, test yourself too!
I feel like centralizing it wouldn't do much as he obviously couldn't afford to carry more on such a long hike and eventually the weather would scatter it every which way again.
@@akkiko : Sorry, but that’s just a justification for doing nothing.
The written and the unwritten rule in the wildness or on the hill, don’t litter; then it is clean up if you can and assist by removal if possible, especially plastics. The amount of equipment as well as trash at this site, could never be justified in just doing nothing!
Steady on, there, Joe, you clearly haven't watched the following episode (here: m.ruclips.net/video/exyn158MJu0/видео.html) where he explicitly talks about how he went back there - when he wasn't on foot & alone, running from dangerous weather - & took everything away.
@@mysterylovescompany2657 : Glad to hear that he went back and did the right thing. Unfortunately, I can only comment on what I have seen and heard. I raised it as an issue because it was the perfect opportunity to highlight what should be done by anyone coming across similar abuse of the countryside.
Watching this guy in comparison to a lot of our Canadian neighbors/uploaders... you notice a difference.
who else is at work and had to turn down their volume cause the intro music sounds like a porn
Yup sitting in my office. Lol.
Very bright and clear.
Luke I'm so glad I found your channel again. I lost my old account that I used to watch constantly. These storm and weather ones are my favorite.
Good advice from a friend a Marine...If you have the slightest doubts about cold-weather camping...Then don't even try it!!
I love that your reviews are 110% unbiased. This is why I contribute through Patreon. I know that you will give an honest opinion. Thank you!
Damn ! Reading that book in the woods all alone in storm is hardcore !!! Lol brave
Great video! Camera did great! Looked very relaxing. More power to ya man..... I need my hot tent and wood stove! Keep camping!!!
Amazing. Love these camps with storms approaching. Honest advice without corporate BS and it shows in the production. Thumbs up big time from Australia 👍🏻
I really enjoy you being who you are and nothing that your not.I would love to be able to see what it is like next to where you live just to see if you made it home okay.A lot of people would have took their best tent and stuff out when they are calling for bad weather.So thank you for being honest.
Thank you for your honesty on the products we need straight talk instead of getting ripped off all the time!! God bless your certainly a blessing
Imaging: SHTF and you have a tent like this. Thank you, Luke.
sounds like a nightmare. If SHTF I'm glad to have a Litefighter 1 with the cold weather kit
The last thing I would read in the bush at night with screaming banshees is Red Dragon. Very amusing. 🇦🇺👍🍺🍺
