Hello brother. Luke i`m 84 years old . ,from coastal n. c. You brought back so many memories from my youth .From the time i was 13 i spent every weekend in the woods . had an old fashioned pup tent, carried my 12 gauge shotgun, my fishing gear, cooking utensils, food, and a blanket. I would set- up along the shore of the Neuse river . I always had fresh fish to eat and once in a while i would shoot a squirrel and cook him too. Found myself spitting out lead shot as i ate! I love Mother Nature as you do. Also, when you told about being poor only the living room with a heater, heating bricks, running up stairs and crawling under a ton of covers , you brought back more memories. My age and health prevent me from camping, hunting and fishing anymore, but i still drive to the woods often and sit under a big tree and commune with nature. Love your viideos and try to never miss one.
Larry, I loved your comment, and would think it an honor to pick your brain for a day or two! I'm so happy for you and your memories! Like you, I think this young man makes great videos!
@@uralbob1 Thanks Robert !! A good feeling comment. I don`t know how well you would fair picking my brain but thanks for the thought . Lost my wife in April after 65 wonderful years together. So about all i have left are my children , grandchildren , and my memories and that`s not all bad is it Robert ? After all isn`t life what you make it ? It isn`t what happens to you that counts so much but how you take it !!! God bless my brother.
Hello Luke You brought many memories We were moderately poor as well I just turned 64 .Dad was a Concrete Truck Driver, Mom worked in Hosiery Mills and Grocery Stores Us 5 kids knew What beans taters and biscuits were, We always had a clean house but at night they would cut off the oil burning Quaker brand oil furnace , Grandma made Us Heavy Quilts And blankets We stayed Warm under those Thick Quilts it was Cold getting up to the bathroom a few homes We lived in the 60's and 70's had old style high ceilings and hard to heat . But anyways Yep I was a Manufacturing Worker operating various machines with very little human contact needless to say My social skills were and still are very rusty , A Soup at work was trying to explain he had to scrape a ton of popcorn off the ceiling I thought he meant real popcorn when in fact it was textured ceiling he had to scrape off, Oh how embarrassing but Machines don't expose You to much whoman rhetoric. Lol So as far as adventures goes I live in the Piedmont region of NC have done camping before in my younger years , but perhaps I am a little rusty where to go and camp A lot of land is government or predominantly private and posted Please give Us some info on good camping sites all through the eastern NC. mountains or maybe I will just google it. I have an Idea Go to Taylorsville Hiddenite Area Camp out and Pan for Gold And Gemstones. and or Camp sites at Lake Lure Blowing Rock Camp and Do Some Trout fishing in the Broad River Luke You could get a few of Us Restarted in some ideas as where to go even if its a paid campsite. Be safe be blessed Happy Trails Dude and Dudetts !!
My favorite childhood memory was with my grandparents in Virginia Appalachia, their small house had no heat but a woodstove which they never used at night. Grandma hunkered us down under at least 6 blankets. They were so heavy, being handmade quilts, but we NEVER got cold. Grandpa would fire up that wood stove every morning before anyone got up. Poor but such rich memories.
Oh yeah, I remember those heavy quilts! I still have quilts that my great-grandmother made, my grandmother made, and my mother made. When it's cold enough to break out the quilts, you know you're not gonna be cold under them. SO warm. And SO heavy! Great memories.
It'd be real cool to see maybe a time lapse of the setup and teardown of this kindof serious outdoors kit, timelapses in general make really good b-roll, usually just takes a little gopro, nothing fancy. Also, don't worry about what other people think of you man, you're a cool dude, some people will see it, some people won't, it's no big deal. Personally, I'd think it was hilarious if someone told me that nature gave them their haircut!
Oh, and thank you for the adventure. I love biscuits and gravy. My granny taught me when I was a child how to make bacon gravy and buttermilk biscuits. Yum. We're all socially awkward. I enjoy people but my home is my lair. It's a Southern thing, lol.
Luke, you look so comfortable sitting in your chair, fixing coffee and breakfast, with the wind raging outside. Maybe it was the camera angles; but, it looked mighty fine in that tent, WHEW... Yeah, I’d have to get out too. Big reason I’m a tarp guy. Tarps are good in rain and little wind. Big, constant wind makes the difference. The sides come down and might as well have a big tent. Those tall, beautiful green trees sure make me homesick. I’ve never had a stove inside a tent. Had a Solo stove under a tarp a few times. It was good. Thanks for the adventure. You’re doing some good camera work. Texas
I can relate to growing up poor, I remember waking up for school and trying to get dressed as quickly as possible to run downstairs to sit in front of the one small oil heater we had to heat the house. It was Dads job to fill the heater every morning and light it as the small tank wouldn't last the night. I would hide under the covers til I heard him lighting the stove Being in Canada in 20 below weather in a 26 x 26 foot house that was insulated with nothing more than wood chips in the walls gave all of us a greatful appreciation of the modern conviences of today's life. Little things like not leaving food on your plate, using every last squirt of the shampoo bottle.
We are recluse...not socially awkward, live out in the country on acres and cannot see a neighbor. 3 dogs to keep company and 1 to 3 trips per week to keep ourselves stocked. It's a way of life that keeps us content. Personally, when I get out in an area with people, I tend to feel anxious and cringe when I have to go out again. Keep up the good videos. You're truly a gifted soul.
IMPROVISATION is maybe the best thing about adapting to the outdoors. We have opportunities to test our crafting abilities and to learn how to manage live fire! There are DEGREES of social awkwardness. I suffer once in a while from agoraphobia and panic anxiety. I don't interact much then. Even SMOOTHE PEOPLE don't always 'get it right.' Sometimes, they can be 'jerks.' I REALLY LIKE your 2-3 day adventures. They show the reality of being out in the woods. We spent plenty of windy, cold, damp time in New York's Thousand Island Region, camping. 'Hot tents were 'not a thing' then. You have a smartphone; we had books to read to fill the downtime. Being a good bit older than you, I remember those days of partial heat at home and homemade pieced quilts on the beds. And chamber pots and outhouses. We were not aware of being poor...because we were 4-5-6 years old at the time. We had plenty of basic food.

USAF SERE school back in the early 70's (officially this one was called POW Survival and Evasion School, at Fairchild AFB, Wash. If you flew in Southeast Asia, you went the school). I used my poncho to tarp the bushes I was sleeping under for increased warmth, and shaped "cups" to catch rain water for drinking and bugs for eating. Today, I prefer my breakfast at Denny's.
Luke, you are really getting good at making these videos. They are creative, entertaining, informative, and humorous. I’m so jealous but also happy for you. Congrats
I was 8 stared to walk in the forest folwing friends older than me. They know where there were tracing in this very big forest I find know it all. W a lil I came up Whit a plant I dropped Whit stones on my way in inside this steep big forest I did loose everyone but I followed my stones and got out the forest save great ha💞💞💞💕💕🙏🙏thanks for leading ciao
Not a childhood memory, but the only heat my husband and I had in our house was a couple wood stoves [except for an oil heater my sister gave us for the bathroom years ago] until this past winter (2020-2021); we now also use a couple oil heaters {given to us by a friend this past summer} for the really cold days as I was always freezing! We use the heaters in the bedroom and in the kitchen, where I stay most of the time. It has helped lots this past winter! The wood stoves are in the back room and the living room. Of course, when the electricity goes out, the wood stoves are the only heat we have. Our cook stove is electric too, so it's a good thing we can cook on the wood stoves, although my husband has a Coleman stove. But I can't handle it very good, so the wood stoves are where I cook if necessary. They work great once you let the fire burn down some.
Been a sub for several years, always respected your reviews but wished you would provide links to products. Your agenda free stance is very important me and others, keeping it that way with links can be difficult but your are of high integrity. I think you can walk the line with ease. As I always say, never do anything that will allow others the opportunity to question your integrity. If you have to think twice, don't do it. Carry on sir. Love your work.
Nice to be back out in the forest again with you,, Rain is just part of camping sometime , biscuits and gravy Yum, the other meals also sound tasty. I know what you mean about being socially awkward around some people as I love being in the outdoors as well doing what you do . ( building things ) and camping crown land in Ontario. ( if the person I am around don't do what i like I am not sure what to talk about really, Love the table awesome project. love your hair style .
Had a backpack strap break in the Colorado Rockies so I sewed it back with dental floss and the pick on a Swiss Army knife . Never go backpacking without a patch/tear kit!
Cool story. I have an tiny army sewing kit. Threw out the normal cord and put in high strength fishing line. It's like 0.5mm and can take 25kg/50 pounds. Take that stupid button trying to escape. You are going nowhere. 😎
I’ve been cutting my own hair, for the last twenty five years and sometimes I do get the same type of interaction with people, about my hair, but i just don’t let others bother me with that anymore. Anyhow, i personally think that your hair style looks absolutely great! The key idea is not to be to self conscious about it. Strength and honor, Johnny
Forgot a saw when the plan was cooking over a fire the entire weekend! Me and my buddy ended up scouring the creek bed for a big flat rock we chipped at with until we could hack away at branches with it. Needless to say, we remember the saw these days.
Good stuff as always, with one minor wander. If sustainable packaging isn't available, that's not the fault of the food company. If power for charging EVs happens to be coal in you area, it's not the fault of the car company...they've solved their part of the puzzle; now it's time for others to step up, but some things evolve slower than others. I believe the battery/power source issues will resolve with time as will packaging of foods, etc. It's true that there are no easy solutions, but what good, long-term solutions ever are?
I definitely love the multi day adventures!!!!!!! And I'm thinking about picking up an iron wall!!!!!! Its kinda hard to beat. I looked didn't see much in that price range..... not as much as the iron wall offers!!!
Lol. Childhood story how cold your house was. In a house my mom rented, I know it didn't have insulation, it had an outhouse, and as little kids we bathed in a long galvanized tub or trough. You always wanted to be the first one in. I'm sure it had a in floor gas furnace, I think,, but it got cold, ice on the windows. That's probably why I have to sleep in a cold room
When you yawned you totally got me and I KNEW you were going to ask "Did I get you!" LOL And I replied "You sure {expletive deleted} did!" LOLOLOL :D I must say I just love your film work Luke. The different angles, the slow motion fire through the stove window and the imagination you show in your framing. I love going on these adventures with you. :)
Thank you sir! I am telling ya your video's are supreme!! I am still out here in LoneWolf , OKLAHOMA! That's the name of my town! I am busy spending most time in John Deere right now! So I appreciate ya!! Also it reached 91 here today and we had severe thunderstorms! I did manage to finish the field we will soon be planting cotton, and harvesting wheat!
I'm a doctor, and I can be pretty socially awkward when I'm anxious/stressed so I try to avoid firing random questions at my patients while I'm examining them, and I never judge them for how they talk to me (unless they are abusive, even then it's usually because they are afraid and I try to be understanding.) I usually ask a simple question to guage if they want to chat or not, and if not, I'm always fairly relieved 😅 I love my patients but I really value my solo escapes out to nature!
Words of wisdom here. When you look at the amount of wood you've collected and think, yeah, that's good. That's when you multiply by at least three of what you have. I've camped for well over 40 years and learned very early on that more is better than less.
I am in Oklahoma and we are suppose to have a cold front move through,, i sure hope no snow!! lots of rain and storms here..I don't think the weather people know the weather either,, they guess just like we do...lol! great video Luke and thank you for sharing.I am starting to think about trying other coffees,,
Yup.. On top of my normal awkwardness. Most badass repair was fixing my broken hinchpoint of my B.O.B. Yak16 Bicycle trailer wich broke in half with a speedy rocky downhill in iceland. Connected a few wheel quick releases wich created a new improvised hinge putting the thing back together. 100 miles from the nearest bikeshop.. exciting for shure. Cheers and God bless Strength and honor.
Talking about MacGyver tricks, I was about 10 miles back in the national forest with no cell service when the clip holding my shifter broke on my truck leaving it stuck in park. Luckily I keep small zip ties in my get home bag. I was able to use a couple zip ties to fix my truck until I got home! That's my story!!!
Everywhere I've lived (and that's a lot of places) there's almost always been a weather forecaster who gets it right most of the time. Always worth the effort to find them and if you're visiting somewhere ask a few of the locals who to listen to. Nobody always gets it right but some do far better than most.
HaHa! That eye doctor story cracked me up! I feel the same. Someone mentioned it getting darker in the winter and I replied by saying "Yeah, Damn Earth's axes tilt, orbiting around the sun"
Years ago we camped up in pisgah at the pink beds. We found a large sheet of landscape plastic. We dug a huge hole, lined it and filled it with water. Then use rocks from the fire to heat the water so hot We had a hot tub
Looks like a fun adventure good meal choices and ya had a grand time I like that big green stove ya got I may have to get one for myself take care b safe
I remember fondly going camping when I came home on leave and before I went out I always spent 24 hrs at my mums then off I went for a few days to completely wind down
Luke I know you are too busy with a full time job, family and your prolific schedule producing these quality vlogs. But you are the King when it comes to camping adventures and helpful tips. Well done! 🏔
I love watching your videos. One then about luke is always saying its coffee time 😂 i would love to go camping with you one day to learn bushcrafting and other survival stuff.
I've used Paracord to keep the support jack on my camper up when it got stripped out. I've also used an ace bandage to keep my finger attached and stopped the bleeding after I had almost cut completely through it. Only thing keeping it attached was a thin piece of skin. It actually impressed the doctor that I thought of it. Asked me who the emt was that applied it. Also used a space blanket also as a great landing zone designating tool for a life flight helicopter we called in on an emergency ATV roll over too.
10 miles deep into Arkansas backcountry. realized i had lost the seal for my Sawyer water filter. Had nothing I could sub in. I ended cutting a seal by peeling a small part of the outer sole off my Merrell Moab's. Worked like a champ for the remaining 30 miles.
Love it. I think you should start building a a fulltime camp in a few areas on the mountain. Stone fire areas, wood sheds, seating.....all from natural materials
Most MacGyver thing... well. It wasn't me but two friends of mine. When they were out fishing they decided to make a fire so they could grill a couple of sausages. Unfortunately neither of them had any matches or any other fire making device with them. This is what they did: They took the small 2hp outboarder off the boat, poured some gasoline on the wood, unscrewed the sparkplug but left it attached to the ignition cable. They held the motor so the sparkplug was close to the gasoline on the wood. Then they used a nail clipper to ground the sparkplug while pulling the starter cord to make a spark. They had their grilled sausages!
Most McGiver thing on camping trip. Made sink from empty cat litter container. Used empty laundry soap jug that had a spigot. Drilled holes in plastic plunger used sink for wash tub. Off grid washing machine! Fastened to tree with bungee cords.
This was so informative! The OneTigress equipment seemed to work admirably! The tent pole is always a pain. Maybe the next size up is probably a better fit. If the stove was a medium size and the tent small, room gets tight. Glad you stayed dry and safe!
Once when I was in a remote park in Zimbabwe and when I went to start the car nothing came on. I looked at the battery and the cables were rusted and broken. I managed to reattach them and hold them there with some spare cable ties I brought with me
I am very much a loner and have been since I was kid hiking and camping in the woods and along the rivers of central Ohio. Only a few times did I ever camp with friends and we usually got into mischievous acts, nothing malicious but stupid kid stuff. I loved staying with my Grandma in South Carolina, deep in the woods, and she had one of those old pot-bellied stoves she cooked on. Grandma made some of the best foods on that old stove. She raised pigs and beagles. The farm hands loved watching me chase pigs. My brothers and I built a tree house and half of the tree house was on the military base side and the other half overlooked train tracks. We used to watch "hobos" jump on and off the trains and we would imagine us doing it, going to all of the exotic hobo destinations.

Hello Luke
You brought many memories
We were moderately poor as well
I just turned 64 .Dad was a Concrete Truck Driver, Mom worked in Hosiery Mills and Grocery Stores
Us 5 kids knew What beans taters and biscuits were, We always had a clean house but at night they would cut off the oil burning Quaker brand oil furnace , Grandma made Us Heavy Quilts
And blankets We stayed Warm under those Thick Quilts it was
Cold getting up to the bathroom
a few homes We lived in the 60's and 70's had old style high ceilings and hard to heat .
But anyways Yep I was a Manufacturing Worker operating various machines with very little human contact needless to say
My social skills were and still are very rusty , A Soup at work was trying to explain he had to scrape
a ton of popcorn off the ceiling
I thought he meant real popcorn
when in fact it was textured ceiling he had to scrape off,
Oh how embarrassing but
Machines don't expose You to much whoman rhetoric. Lol
So as far as adventures goes
I live in the Piedmont region of NC
have done camping before in my younger years , but perhaps I am a little rusty where to go and camp
A lot of land is government or predominantly private and posted
Please give Us some info on good camping sites all through the eastern NC. mountains or maybe I will just google it.
I have an Idea Go to Taylorsville
Hiddenite Area Camp out and Pan for Gold And Gemstones.
and or Camp sites at Lake Lure Blowing Rock Camp and Do Some
Trout fishing in the Broad River
Luke You could get a few of Us
Restarted in some ideas as where to go even if its a paid campsite.
Be safe be blessed Happy Trails

Nothing poor about that. That ooozes richness.

When you wake up in the tent, you know you're staying out another night, pondering your day over coffee. It's such a great feeling. Cheers Luke!

It's good to appreciate how good modern life is.
I personally feel cold rain is worse than snow. Thanks for a great video.
No but it’s good you know you comfort level. I like me time.... but conversation with live people is amazing, following lockdown.

another great video, so grateful for your outdoor videos, look forward to each one.
Luke, you are really getting good at making these videos. They are creative, entertaining, informative, and humorous. I’m so jealous but also happy for you. Congrats
Thanks brother, every helps. Strength and Honor.
I enjoy all of your adventures, but I love your truck camping adventures with Susie.

W a lil I came up Whit a plant I dropped Whit stones on my way in inside this steep big forest I did loose everyone but I followed my stones and got out the forest save great ha💞💞💞💕💕🙏🙏thanks for leading ciao
Keep rocking luke!
Nice to hear you talk about your childhood in an unvarnished way
Thanks for awesome video for back wood camping! Mr. Luke
Not a childhood memory, but the only heat my husband and I had in our house was a couple wood stoves [except for an oil heater my sister gave us for the bathroom years ago] until this past winter (2020-2021); we now also use a couple oil heaters {given to us by a friend this past summer} for the really cold days as I was always freezing!

But I can't handle it very good, so the wood stoves are where I cook if necessary. They work great once you let the fire burn down some.
I really enjoy your video. I love to hear it rain. I look forward to your videos.
My favorite boots, bought those on your recommendation years ago.
Been a sub for several years, always respected your reviews but wished you would provide links to products. Your agenda free stance is very important me and others, keeping it that way with links can be difficult but your are of high integrity. I think you can walk the line with ease. As I always say, never do anything that will allow others the opportunity to question your integrity. If you have to think twice, don't do it. Carry on sir. Love your work.
Hi from Syracuse NY and thank you for sharing brother your thoughts and adventures
Nice to be back out in the forest again with you,, Rain is just part of camping sometime , biscuits and gravy Yum, the other meals also sound tasty. I know what you mean about being socially awkward around some people as I love being in the outdoors as well doing what you do . ( building things ) and camping crown land in Ontario. ( if the person I am around don't do what i like I am not sure what to talk about really, Love the table awesome project. love your hair style .
Heeeeey, that's a Terava Jaakaripuukko. Nice choice, excellent knife and excellent value!
I have the same pair of scarpas 1300kms on them and still going strong. G'day from perth Australia.
You 2 have the best show on u tube
Another good one Luke. As for socially awkward, no worries. We all have our moments. I’ve had mine. Thanks for the adventure.
Had a backpack strap break in the Colorado Rockies so I sewed it back with dental floss and the pick on a Swiss Army knife . Never go backpacking without a patch/tear kit!
Cool story.
I have an tiny army sewing kit. Threw out the normal cord and put in high strength fishing line. It's like 0.5mm and can take 25kg/50 pounds. Take that stupid button trying to escape. You are going nowhere. 😎
Dental floss is the duct tape of thread.
Love my Sven saw! It has never let me down! Going to try some of those biscuits and gravy too!
Good content my friend . Keep it up. Spot on with the EV vehicle /batteries. GODSPEED
I’ve been cutting my own hair, for the last twenty five years and sometimes I do get the same type of interaction with people, about my hair, but i just don’t let others bother me with that anymore. Anyhow, i personally think that your hair style looks absolutely great! The key idea is not to be to self conscious about it. Strength and honor, Johnny
Forgot a saw when the plan was cooking over a fire the entire weekend! Me and my buddy ended up scouring the creek bed for a big flat rock we chipped at with until we could hack away at branches with it. Needless to say, we remember the saw these days.
Absolutely nothing wrong with your hair style! 😄👍
Hello Luke I'm Ready For Our Adventure, Thank You For Sharing ❤❤ Be Safe 😘
Thanks for the listings, no more pause search and so forth. Those stoves sold out quick for sure:)
Thanks Luke...always a great outing...Freedom for all people...loved that stove...
out of all the videos I've seen I like your video the best
Excited to watch this episode! Im going to wait until I get home so I can watch it on a real TV and not my stupid little phone.
You’re a funny guy with a awesome haircut. Another great job on the table! Thanks Luke 😎
Nice table! It reminds me of Gilligans Island.
Loved the video as always! Really appreciate the temperature conversions on screen! Nice touch!
Loved the music at 18:00! More please!
Every friggin' video you make is interesting and very enjoyable!
Tell your childhood stories, that's always nice. Did you cook or just take snacks.
Good stuff as always, with one minor wander. If sustainable packaging isn't available, that's not the fault of the food company. If power for charging EVs happens to be coal in you area, it's not the fault of the car company...they've solved their part of the puzzle; now it's time for others to step up, but some things evolve slower than others. I believe the battery/power source issues will resolve with time as will packaging of foods, etc. It's true that there are no easy solutions, but what good, long-term solutions ever are?
I definitely love the multi day adventures!!!!!!! And I'm thinking about picking up an iron wall!!!!!! Its kinda hard to beat. I looked didn't see much in that price range..... not as much as the iron wall offers!!!
I low key hate talking to people outside of an event that I want to host or attend, so I'm right there with you.
Coffee diplomacy. Great vid as usual.
Lol. Childhood story how cold your house was. In a house my mom rented, I know it didn't have insulation, it had an outhouse, and as little kids we bathed in a long galvanized tub or trough. You always wanted to be the first one in. I'm sure it had a in floor gas furnace, I think,, but it got cold, ice on the windows. That's probably why I have to sleep in a cold room
Hello from Little Rock, AR. Have a blessed day.
When you yawned you totally got me and I KNEW you were going to ask "Did I get you!" LOL And I replied "You sure {expletive deleted} did!" LOLOLOL :D I must say I just love your film work Luke. The different angles, the slow motion fire through the stove window and the imagination you show in your framing. I love going on these adventures with you. :)
Thank you sir! I am telling ya your video's are supreme!! I am still out here in LoneWolf , OKLAHOMA! That's the name of my town! I am busy spending most time in John Deere right now! So I appreciate ya!! Also it reached 91 here today and we had severe thunderstorms! I did manage to finish the field we will soon be planting cotton, and harvesting wheat!
i love your hot tent.!
I'm a doctor, and I can be pretty socially awkward when I'm anxious/stressed so I try to avoid firing random questions at my patients while I'm examining them, and I never judge them for how they talk to me (unless they are abusive, even then it's usually because they are afraid and I try to be understanding.)
I usually ask a simple question to guage if they want to chat or not, and if not, I'm always fairly relieved 😅
I love my patients but I really value my solo escapes out to nature!
I love the fireplace stove that's epic
Words of wisdom here. When you look at the amount of wood you've collected and think, yeah, that's good. That's when you multiply by at least three of what you have. I've camped for well over 40 years and learned very early on that more is better than less.
Great video! Could we see a two stealth camping backpack Adventure ! They are always fun to watch !! Thanks for sharing all your videos with us !! 👍👍
I agree 100%, it is time for a stealth camp adventure. - Luke
Missing stealth camps, love they vids
I am in Oklahoma and we are suppose to have a cold front move through,, i sure hope no snow!! lots of rain and storms here..I don't think the weather people know the weather either,, they guess just like we do...lol! great video Luke and thank you for sharing.I am starting to think about trying other coffees,,
I enjoy Lone Wolf Mountain!
Luke, your videos are great, always interesting ! You are everyone's big brother ! Thanks for all your experiences !
Hi Luke hope you and susie .had a wonderful Christmas .thanks for the video ..
Hi Luke, I’m so glad you are taping again. You don’t know how much I enjoy your videos. It was nice watching. Thank you for letting me join you.
World renowned boots...have you been happy with those? Good value? Look very nice!
Yup..
On top of my normal awkwardness.
Most badass repair was fixing my broken hinchpoint of my B.O.B. Yak16 Bicycle trailer wich broke in half with a speedy rocky downhill in iceland. Connected a few wheel quick releases wich created a new improvised hinge putting the thing back together. 100 miles from the nearest bikeshop.. exciting for shure.
Cheers and God bless
Strength and honor.
Talking about MacGyver tricks, I was about 10 miles back in the national forest with no cell service when the clip holding my shifter broke on my truck leaving it stuck in park. Luckily I keep small zip ties in my get home bag. I was able to use a couple zip ties to fix my truck until I got home! That's my story!!!
Woohoo!! Camping time.
Everywhere I've lived (and that's a lot of places) there's almost always been a weather forecaster who gets it right most of the time. Always worth the effort to find them and if you're visiting somewhere ask a few of the locals who to listen to. Nobody always gets it right but some do far better than most.
I’ll be buying the biscuits and gravy!! Great adventure, Luke. 😎🥾🥾
Man every outdoor channel like this had OneTigris gear at some point
HaHa! That eye doctor story cracked me up! I feel the same. Someone mentioned it getting darker in the winter and I replied by saying "Yeah, Damn Earth's axes tilt, orbiting around the sun"
Years ago we camped up in pisgah at the pink beds. We found a large sheet of landscape plastic. We dug a huge hole, lined it and filled it with water. Then use rocks from the fire to heat the water so hot We had a hot tub
Looks like a fun adventure good meal choices and ya had a grand time I like that big green stove ya got I may have to get one for myself take care b safe
Always love primitive shelter bushcraft, man against elements...great vid Luke Thx !
I remember fondly going camping when I came home on leave and before I went out I always spent 24 hrs at my mums then off I went for a few days to completely wind down
Luke I know you are too busy with a full time job, family and your prolific schedule producing these quality vlogs. But you are the King when it comes to camping adventures and helpful tips. Well done! 🏔
If I could support myself in the woods I’d live there 🤣
I love watching your videos. One then about luke is always saying its coffee time 😂 i would love to go camping with you one day to learn bushcrafting and other survival stuff.
Awesome video
Seen those pipes.
PIPE IS LIFE!!!
I've used Paracord to keep the support jack on my camper up when it got stripped out. I've also used an ace bandage to keep my finger attached and stopped the bleeding after I had almost cut completely through it. Only thing keeping it attached was a thin piece of skin. It actually impressed the doctor that I thought of it. Asked me who the emt was that applied it. Also used a space blanket also as a great landing zone designating tool for a life flight helicopter we called in on an emergency ATV roll over too.
Tin foil stove jack interesting idea ! Ty !
10 miles deep into Arkansas backcountry. realized i had lost the seal for my Sawyer water filter. Had nothing I could sub in. I ended cutting a seal by peeling a small part of the outer sole off my Merrell Moab's. Worked like a champ for the remaining 30 miles.
I enjoyed this video.
Yup. You got me! Every time 🤣
Love it. I think you should start building a a fulltime camp in a few areas on the mountain. Stone fire areas, wood sheds, seating.....all from natural materials
Ahah, we’re here because we love being alone in nature, you’re definitely not the only socially awkward one in here, no worries :D
Most MacGyver thing... well. It wasn't me but two friends
of mine. When they were out fishing they decided to make a fire so they could grill a couple of sausages. Unfortunately neither of them had any matches or any other fire making device with them.
This is what they did: They took the small 2hp outboarder off the boat,
poured some gasoline on the wood, unscrewed the sparkplug but left it attached to the ignition cable. They held the motor so the sparkplug was close to the gasoline on the wood. Then they used a
nail clipper to ground the sparkplug while pulling the starter cord to make a spark. They had their grilled sausages!
Most McGiver thing on camping trip.
Made sink from empty cat litter container. Used empty laundry soap jug that had a spigot. Drilled holes in plastic plunger used sink for wash tub. Off grid washing machine! Fastened to tree with bungee cords.
This was so informative! The OneTigress equipment seemed to work admirably! The tent pole is always a pain. Maybe the next size up is probably a better fit. If the stove was a medium size and the tent small, room gets tight. Glad you stayed dry and safe!
Be a good series if you start working on that shed and do a winter multi day camp after you get it buttoned up
Thanks
Once when I was in a remote park in Zimbabwe and when I went to start the car nothing came on. I looked at the battery and the cables were rusted and broken. I managed to reattach them and hold them there with some spare cable ties I brought with me
I am very much a loner and have been since I was kid hiking and camping in the woods and along the rivers of central Ohio. Only a few times did I ever camp with friends and we usually got into mischievous acts, nothing malicious but stupid kid stuff. I loved staying with my Grandma in South Carolina, deep in the woods, and she had one of those old pot-bellied stoves she cooked on. Grandma made some of the best foods on that old stove. She raised pigs and beagles. The farm hands loved watching me chase pigs. My brothers and I built a tree house and half of the tree house was on the military base side and the other half overlooked train tracks. We used to watch "hobos" jump on and off the trains and we would imagine us doing it, going to all of the exotic hobo destinations.
