    Almost 2 years ago you gave my son one of the jungle blankets. I mentioned he had surgery and he wanted to do an a tv marathon of your channel. So you sent him that blanket. He turns 12 tomorrow and he still loves that blanket. He takes it camping with us. He uses it on his bed. He lays on the floor wrapped up in it watching movies. It's been well loved. Thank you Luke for sending him it.

    Luke, I’m glad I watched this video today. As you might remember from a previous comment, I have struggled against a brain tumor(oligodendroglioma) since 03/21/2010. Yep, today marks the fourteenth since waking from a month long coma. Instead of being happy at beating the odds for another year, my mind started thinking of my “old self”- the pre tumor version of me. Then I clicked on this video. The story you told, regarding the subscriber who passed of cancer, hit me like a ton of bricks. I may be on chemo today, but at least I am still above ground. “Get busy living, or get busy dying, popped into my head. Cheers and Carpe Diem to you dude. 🤙

    42:02 I would stay. After working all week and setting up camp, I'd be tired. I'd snuggle down in my sleeping bag and drift off, listening to the pitter, patter of the rain drops. I'd breath deeply, getting every bit of fresh rain cleaned air. I'd feel the chill on the tips of my nose and ears. Knowing that when I get home, life begins again... Along with drying out all that camping gear... Yup! I'd stay. I'm not ready for life to begin again so soon! Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.

    In my world, $120 for a tent isn't a cheap tent. I've been very pleased with items I've bought off TEMU. Given their price points I don't expect superior quality. There are many good articles about Temu and how they can sell at the prices they do. We are in a global market in this day and age.

      Most people don't really give it any thought. Before being told this, I guess that I assumed that ticks magically "appeared" every spring. Like I said, I never gave it much thought until coming down with Lyme disease symptoms (tests were inconclusive, but treatment with doxycycline was suggested and done).
      I have no lasting effects, and use permethrin regularly now.

    So… I loved that Fury camping set up and looked it up for information. Holy mackerel!! That is crazy expensive and while it looked really cool, way too much money. I’m impressed that Temu tent did not leak. And when you sat under that tarp in the pouring rain and asked what your audience would do about breaking down, I offered a little thankful prayer. I camp in a little homemade teardrop camper. My breaking down is to hitch the night before, take down the awning the night before, and make a cuppa coffee and a little oatmeal in the camper. listening to the rain on the roof. Of course… Another wonderful video.

I was planning to buy the decathlon mt100 backpack (80$) but then I saw that the osprey atmos AG 50l LT backpack is on sale (from 260$ to 180$) and was wondering if it's worth the additional 100$. A few more things:
    - I don't plan to go on 2-5 days long hikes this year, but I'd like to prepare myself by buying gear that is on sale throughout this year (and get myself into better shape in the meantime).
    - I know that you should buy the backpack last, but the "big 3" that I plan to buy take up roughly 18-20l of space so I hope that the remaining 30l are enough.
    - I also don't plan on doing winter hikes, so my equipment would be 3-season and should not be "that" bulky.
    Looking forward to the advice.
    Edit: I'm from Europe if that helps.

    Hey Luke, here's a camping question for you. Would you consider doing a camping video on the App trail & camping either with a tent or in one of those wooden lean-to's? As far as your camping question goes, I would stay & enjoy the rain. Who wants to go back to reality? Enjoy the time away.

      My bed is on the wrong side of the master bedroom because it's an exterior wall next to windows I can A)hear the rain and b) if it burns down or something I can order my cats and German Shepherds and wife through the window and I can follow in about 10-20 seconds depends on if awake or not when the alarm rings.

    Great video as always Luke. Your comments about the Toyota's setting sales records really resonated with me. About a year and a half ago I was in the market for a new vehicle and was really looking hard at Tacoma's, but even then they were selling so fast in my area that by the time the car hauling truck showed up at the lot they had already sold everything on it in transit. I ended up with a new Mazda CX-5 and although I love it, it is definitely not meant for camping. I will keep it a few years and hope the car market slows down in the meantime.

    I always look forward to your videos. They are so relaxing. Your photography in your videos is top notch. I don't know what you do for your day job, but you can always get a job using your photography skills. Two questions for you - Do you have a site where people are able to purchase your photos? I know you have some unusual shots. I enjoyed seeing the perspective of your work - seeing something from a different point of view. From watching your channel, one would think you would take mostly nature shots. The other question is - once you get home with all your wet gear - how do you go about getting your tent and tarps clean and dry?
    Thanks for going to all the trouble of showing different views of your campsite. The shots of the different angles of the outside of the tarp with the rain pouring down made me feel even more into the scene. There you were nice and cozy under the tarp, but having to get wet to show us how the site really looked with the rain pouring down. I appreciate the effort.

    Ticks are the reason I gave up the outdoors. I have tried treating clothes, boots, nylon undergarments designed to trap ticks before they can reach the skin I still managed to get deer ticks. My buddy nearly died from what the CDC determined to be rocky mountain spotted fever from a tick. Although he recovered after a long battle he was never a the level he was before . Maybe someday I'll go back out.

    I went backpacking in the New Mexico mountains once and it rained, like at 35:00 in this video, for 2 and a half days straight. It was because of the hurricane that came across Mexico and across Arizona and New Mexico and probably further in 2010. A little rain is OK but 2.5 days of it NONSTOP is a real pain in the butt.

    Hi Luke from Denver! Great video, but, wind and rain for 24+ hours, I'm out. Save it for another dy with better weather. I was thinking as you described the ground conditions, I would have enjoyed that more in a Nightcat Layflat hammock with an additional tarp for coverage. Btw, are you going to talk about FuryGravity, looks like an interesting piece of kit. Glad to hear you're enjoying the 4Runner, knew you would, looking forward to getting the new one end of this year! God bless. Just got your thoughts on FuryGravity, should have waited longer, lol.

    I’ve been a subscriber for a while now, and I really love your channel. Your reviews are honest and unbiased, and you really seem to enjoy using the gear you test and letting us know what you think. But honestly, every time I watch you make coffee it just hurts me. You’ve got skills, top notch gear, and I have to watch you make…instant coffee. I mean, I think I may actually feel pain.
    That said, I’m glad the tent was dry. Wet campong sucks; good call to pack it in when you did.
    (You’re killing me, though, man.)
