To be fair he is mostly a car camper than a hiker...He often uses gear that is so ridiculously heavy that he never hikes more than a couple of yards from his truck.
Regardless what he’s called, his vid’s/posts are a WONDERFUL “break” for me to look for…& find! (‘use to be SO ACTIVE; now, not really able to do much…) (I really don’t mind getting older; my body’s not taking it so well; BUT…I AM…inventive…!). 👍🏻😉
I love being in a big thunderstorm. Something about the raw energy makes you feel alive. When is a teenager I spent a summer working as a groundskeeper and work it got out and my ride hadn’t showed up and this storm was coming in me sitting next to a garage with nowhere to cover, I actually ran onto the porch of the house next-door. And watch this massive thunderstorm roll up. They’re very few places around where I live where you get a very large chunk of the sky because of all the trees. But boy this one time watching that storm come up on me, after that, I had so much more respect for the weather. Thank you Luke for taking us so long today. It’s very relaxing to listen to the storm when you’re in your own home. Kathy.
You are 100% correct, in my opinion, for choosing to leave instead of "manning it up" for the video. My oldest son, my brother and I went on a POORLY planned, under funded and near starving camp that hailed on us over the first night, so when we had enough light to do so safely, we packed up and left. The next day the news had reports of 17 campers stranded in THAT canyon due to flooding and poor drainage taking out the road. If we had "manned up", it would have been bad. Wonderful share, sir! Happy holidays and hug the fam!
Luke I love watching you and occasionally your wife go on fun adventures! Sorry that people have to make lousy comments when they can choose to just not watch! Keep doing what you are doing there are plenty of people out there who enjoy watching you!
thank you Luke …..thankyou…I can almost smell the wet moss, dirt, leaves,tree bark and the rain…please keep up your adventures….i appreciate your testing the bagged foods too.❤
Speaking of having a tough bout with Covid, I went into the er on Dec 10, 2020 with dual pneumonia. Went on a vent and into a coma for 6 weeks. Had fever temps during that time of over 108! Yes over 108. My family was told I most likely wouldn’t survive and that after 17 days on the vent if I survived I’d be a vegetable. Thank God that didn’t happen but I did suffer severe nerve damage causing me to loose 90% feeling in my legs and feet. I spent the next 10 months in 3 different hospitals fighting multiple issues like staph infection, sepsis, mastoiditis, and spinal meningitis that led to a brain infection. I lost all of my muscle tone and I’m still in pt now 3 years later and hope to walk again someday. I’m only 55 and I’m still dealing with the emotional trauma of such a huge change in my day to day living. I’m now fighting bladder cancer. Just finished my 3rd round of chemo and I’m hopeful I’ll be cleared soon. 🙏🏼 I realize this is a long comment but for those that think Covid was nothing for everyone… I felt like sharing. BTW I was pretty healthy prior to this, traveling for work often and woke up one day and couldn’t feel my lower body. I used to love the outdoors and 4 season camping and I enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
YOU are blessed that you did not suffer brain damage! I hope you know how blessed you are too. I was in the medical field for 17 years various jobs, one of the last was nursing. I also spent 10 years in ER. Highest fever treated during those times, 106--the person died. I stand amazed. I also worked in a nursing home where several of our residents died during severe high heat--hot weather. Their body temps reached in excess of 105--could not cool them down, they died. We had one worker pass out with heat stroke at 106 body temp with seizures, she did survive, covered her ice head to toe off to ER in ambulance and ICU for one week in coma. I passed out cold from heat exhaustion, my body temp dropped and my body could no longer control my body temperature, ran out of salt and potassium. I recovered after a few hours. STayed on the job sipping warm water and OJ. AFTER that the facility got huge commercial sized fans and turned up the AC to cool the place down into the 90's instead of working in the lower 100's! They would force us to stop working every 45 minutes to drink water and orange juice. Because people died in Oregon a few years ago in 116 degree heat working--new laws in our state now force employers to provide Air Conditioning for employees! Employees are not to be exposed to heat higher than 80 degrees, sustained without breaks for water, if it is an outdoor job, a cool place must be provided that is air conditioned and employer must provide water! If the business cannot do this and they have employees who pass out, or die, their business will be shut down by the State of Oregon and they face fines, huge ones. INDOORS, there must be AC provided on days over 100 and employees are to be given WATER and ORANGE JUICE breaks if working in nursing homes/hospitals and such, that is hard labor--always on the go, lifting and such. It is amazing how times have changed since I last worked. NO one should die on the job because they where worked to death in the heat. I am glad Covid did not kill you. I had a varient of the Covid and I was very ill. Doctors told me I would have died, had it not been for vaccines I had already had--after these were made. To date I have had 5 vaccines for Covid. I have been exposed to several cases of Covid--people sick, and one case which had no symptoms. I got sick with symptoms of Covid--but tested negative--plus never got really sick. This was within just 10 days of a vaccine. My MD said it was due to the vaccine that I did not get sicker, and also the reason I tested negative, but should isolate for others sake. I did. My Uncle Had Covid too, almost died from it, and had the syndrome of Covid, the fatigue for a year. I only had the Covid synrome, the terrible fatigue for 6 months. Yes, I do believe in the vaccine! My Uncle never got vaccinated, he had pnuemonia, in both lungs, affected his heart and lost weight, and was hospitalized for 3 months. He has never been the same since 2019. It totally changed his health and ability to stay well.
I am so sorry that you suffrered and are still suffering from the effects of Covid. Thank you for reiminding all who see your comment that Covid was not a hoax, it was not just the common cold or flu, as some still believe. Please keep fighting to regain your health and well being. Watching Luke’s channel and enoying his adventures camping, is so enjoyable, wholesome and uplifting. i will think about you being along on every adventure I watch from now on. I will remember to pray for your healing. ❤
@@prarieborn6458 Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words and any time you could spend praying for me would be greatly appreciated! May God bless you and your family. ❤️
Hey, I have identical twin brothers too! I love them both very, very much! They are special in that one of them was born with the cord wrapped around his neck and was a blue baby--this caused oxygen deprivation to his brain. It caused brain damage. So all his life he has been known as the "slow one" he is mentally challenged. His brother is not challenged that way, but both of them developmentally challenged and both of them learning disabled. They loved camping so much, that they had matching sleeping bags, cooking camp gear and the works. When they were in highschool, they took a bike trip to the beach and camped out! They had a blast! They had their own one person tents too. I think my Dad made sure they had Coleman stuff, and everything rated for cold weather, just in case and waterproof too. WE had been going to the beach for decades and camping. So my Dad took them many times by car the route they would travel. He taught them to read a map too, use a compass and most important "how to ask for directions if lost"--they had radios to speak to each other, with one of them having their ham radio license, this believe it or not is the brother who is mentally challenged!!! Dad gave them a test by allowing them a day trip to ride all the way from Gresham Oregon to Silverton Oregon to our grandparents house and then he followed about 5 miles behind them, on his ham radio keeping in contact at check points. They could do it. The beach is the other direction and just a few more miles so my parents felt that they could go on their camping trip. They were 18 years old and wanted to stretch their wings. This was way back in the mid 80's. I think if this was now, in 2024 too much bad stuff has happened to people out here on the roads--my parents would say NO. Back then it was a better, safer society, with more State police on the roads. My brothers actually met two officers while on the road! It was a great experience for them, as the officers were impressed with their safety gear, and had all their ID. The officers contacted our parents back home to just check on them. Everything was cool. It all worked out for them. AS officers at the local police station where they were headed at their end destination a small town with camping facilities looked out for them, and when they checked in, mom and dad got a call. So it was set up for their safety and for them to have fun. They talked about this trip for years. Sorry for the long story, but now one of them is in a nursing home with an amputated leg--and can no longer be on his own. My other brother, the one who is mentally challenged, still lives on his own today, but in my same apartment complex, just one floor down from me and my sister. The twins are now 59 years old. Me, I am 61 and disabled, writing this from my hospital bed, at home. I took in our younger sister when she became homeless after falling down a flight of stairs at her job. She had to have bilateral knee replacements! ONE of those had to be replaced! She has had her shoulder replaced too. Poor thing. She is 55. She is the baby sister. Anyway, I love your camping videos, they are awesome! I wish I was not disabled, because I would love to try camping in an RV or something like that--as tent camping is out for me. Too strenous for me. Tried it at 50 and had a mild heart attack! Yikes! Love how you review the gear. I have plenty of church friends that go camping twice a year. So all the information I learn from your videos I can pass onto them! Thanks so much! WE have church campouts twice a year--then there are other campouts for the youth too. Unfortunately I have to sit these out. I never get enough videos or pictures, and now I can enjoy yours as well! Super, and yes they go summer, winter, fall and spring camping!!!
Next time you use that set up, use an aluminum or plastic carabiner to clip from the tent to the ridgeline. Then you won’t have to thread the ridgeline through the loop in the top of the tent. It will be a lot quicker, setting up and taking down.
Thanks Luke for the time out - i needed a rest from the ads on tv lol - now a days its ads with bits and pieces of programs thrown in to break up the ads - and most of the ads are JUNK - PEACE & HONOR SIR 🖖
Been hiking and camping most of my life and still do. Lived in South Carolina for years and storms with straight line winds would knock down acres of pine trees where I would go camping and now I live in North Texas in tornado alley which scares me to death. The wind has always scared me because of what it can do. I hate it !!!. Heard about a hiker up in Washington State that went missing a couple of years ago and they found him in his hammock under a fallen dead tree. The wind is not something to take for granted. Be careful out there.
Hey Luke, I'm a subscriber and i love your camping videos, especially the overnights in inclement weather. I'm a disabled 57 year old and i kinda camp vicariously through you and your wife. I live on some land that i occasionally camp out on, when I'm able, and I've learned so much from watching you guys. I plan on ordering some of those meals, trying to stay away from the ramen noodles. Keep the videos coming.
Hopeing outdoors practice can enable State/County to provide basic service as they do + give real-estate tax incentive for more 'Migration' ( as Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes 's album is called ). Neat having overhead loop atop shelter
I worked with IRA at Lowe's in Wilkes. Tell him I said hi, this is Morris that Worked as Lowe's Security. I'm the one that had covid Three years ago and was in ICU . It has took 3 years to recover and still have some serious pain. But I started back hiking some . Love you channel. Again till IRA I said hey. God bless.
I often run one of those UCO candle lanterns in my tent when doing cold weather camping. It doesn't exactly heat the tent, but it does give off just enough heat to help with condensation. You need to be mighty careful with any kind of fire inside your tent, obviously. But the tent is such a small, confined space that even a tiny bit of heat can make a difference. It also makes for a very chill atmosphere, that warm candlelight inside the tent when the conditions outside suck is really nice, much nicer than the sterile glow of an LED.
Loving all you windy rainy videos as always and appreciate you doing them , along with showing us the latest gear find that helpful. really enjoyed this adventure .
This is all comfort camping. My favorite camping is with the scouts on their wilderness campout. If my pack is over 10 lbs., I've got too much gear. My favorite shelter is a 10 x 12 tarp. Lean to, floor. A storm rolled through at night...Tornado warnings, rain, thunder, lightning. I was cozy. Actually, I sleep horribly. But that storm put me right to sleep...Until the scoutmaster woke everyone up to head to the vehicles. I was amazed at how dry the tarp kept me. How well it stood up to those conditions. I just with the scoutmaster would've left me alone!
I'm glad you made it off the mountain. Them storms ain't nothing to fool with, especially around trees. Wind and trees don't mix when camping. I liked the tent. Looked cozy. Thank you for sharing Luke. I always enjoy watching your videos.🥰👍
Hi Luke glad to hear you're OK after covid. Unfortunately lm one of those people who isn't ok after covid despite a mild infection. lm usually a very active outdoor person not since my infection. I can't thank you enough for your videos. I love them. You are really having an immense impact on my health in a positive way. Wishing you, Susie and your loved ones a beautiful Christmas and festive season. Keep safe and enjoy. See you in your next video 😀
At the first sign of trouble you hop over to your cozy truck ! I think the excitement is battling against the elements and not having to run to a backup vehicle. Surely this is how you gain experience ! Anyone can sit in a tent and review camping stuff.
I have the exact same Lantern and really enjoy it; Moto camping is what I do most and after a long day of riding there are times when I am just too tired to mess with a campfire. The lantern is quick and easy way to relax while getting the food going. Not the same as a campfire, just close enough. 😃
I think you were on the edge of the enormous system that tore up the east coast into New England earlier this week…Hurricane force winds, heavy rains, severe flooding, power outages…glad you left when you did.
When I had covid earlier this fall I could taste and smell just fine (though weirdly I can smell when I'm sick idk why but I can) my biggest thing was the lack of energy and just feeling cold from running a fever, plus had to drink a lot of water as I was almost always thirsty. I'm glad you got through it and I keep those dealing with it in my thoughts and prayers since not everyone gets off so easily as you said yourself. I miss camping so watching your videos helps me feel connected to my camping spirit until I get the time to go camping again some day.
Luke, I live in the Sandhills and our weather forecast are fairly spot on. I guess because of the terrain out in Western NC with the mountains and all that it can be all over the map. Now that the weather has gotten a bit colder I think I may set up out in the woods in my backyard for an overnight just to do it once again. This old age falling apart crap is really irritating as it interferes with past hobbies.
Be safe, man I'm indoor camping with you. Got my pop-up tent out in the basement theater room I'll watch a movie in your honor 🎖 Yogi Bear live action movie It's so funny, so cozy!
I have been a mountaineer for a long time and it is always like the first day... the emotion of not knowing where you will sleep and what the night will be like is always an extraordinary experience. I know that everyone understands me. We are pure nature.
Oh my Luke it really looks cold there,,, I am shivering just watching,, I love watching winter camping, but the cold is hard on my bones,, I have never had covid,, praise God,, my friend has had it 4 x's now.. she is still not in good health.. my daughter has had it 2x's.. that wind is terrible you made a good choice to pack up and get out.. thank you for sharing..👍
The single biggest factor in fighting off infection has a lot to do with a strong immune system and you've mentioned you have really intense dreams.. so you're getting awesome sleep, healthy environment, smiling 😃
I love my Tetra large...it's not TOO different from a tarp tent, very easy to set up with a few stakes and a center pole or ridge line, yet has good features like an inner and condensation control. Also, for someone who hates that kettle, that's the second adventure you've taken it on😁
Actually I've seen it in at least 3... You remember something like that it's such a weird looking Kettle. But hey it works so to each their own. And it seems to work nicely on all those gadget stoves
Hi Luke and Susie. It was a windy and rainy one today. Love both of your videos. I enjoy watching both of you when you do your outings. My Son died from COVID in August 2022. Left a wife and 4 kids. Stay strong and Safe. Take care and God Bless you both.
I had Garmin Fenix 3 for several years until I recently upgraded to the Epix 2. It’s an amazing watch! The battery lasts just as long as the Fenix at the end of its life. The AOD screen is great. Don’t need to pay monthly for services that doesn’t work in the middle of nowhere. Garmin is king in GPS watches.
I really enjoy these quick adventures. And always happy to learn about new gear. I feel inspired that it can be so easy to just have an overnight camping adventure in the woods. Thank you for all your videos! 🎉
It is very easy. Just test out your equipment before you go out. Don't take anything you've never put together or used at home first. And I don't care how much you spend on one of these expensive fancy tents, always waterproof them yourself before you go out and use it. The way I look at it why take a chance. You don't have to go all scorched Earth in use Flex Seal clear like I do but at least spray it with some silicone spray especially around the seams and the zippers
Hunting season for sure, for the last 2 videos, on both channels, outdoors you're in bright orange! Hopefully they won't think og there's a Big Foot doing do outdoor gear review, trophy if you're asking me (loading 308.)
That lantern was giving me anxiety! The tent walls were blowing in really close to it 😳 I used to like windy days, until last year I was out for a day hike in a local city park, I was on a rough dirt trail, completely covered by tree canopy, and out of nowhere a freakin derecho storm kicks up, and I can hear trees crashing down all around me, branches flying, I had one fly by my head and scratched my cheek, people screaming...now I really don't like wind. Good call on going home Luke!
I enjoy your videos! I used to go camping before I needed cpap. I had covid in 2021. I spent 5 days in the hospital! I'm glad we both made it through! I'm glad you don't have the music that plagues so many videos! I'm also glad to see you're supporting Darn Tough socks. They're made near where I live! And coffee for me.. Kicking Horse Coffee, Three sisters blend. Cheers!
That sucks for the people that have cpap machines they would have to buy a portable battery power and solar panels to keep you going just to go camping. 😔
People look at the title. Outdoor Gear REVIEW! He quite often hikes a good distance away from his truck, when car/cabin camping he cooks food. Mostly rice, broccoli, and some sort of meat with sauces. The main point of his channel is to try products out and see what works and what doesn’t. I read reviews, but would much rather see the product being used in the environment it is intended for. Thanks Luke.
I’m surprised you would set up a tent there with so many trees and or branches down from previous storms. Seems like high potential for more to come down with your current weather conditions. No?
Hi Luke, dont boil coffee!!😣 just ”burb” it then you you will have good coffee. Boiling separetes oils from coffee beans and it tates little bitter. Nice episode!
I have to say I enjoy watching your trips out into the woods and trying out different gear and your reviews. I live in the UK and over here we don't have any wildlife that can eat you. I know many years ago that I went to see an uncle up in Vancouver and he happened to mention after I had been on a very long day cycling in the back woods that they had bears in their back yard eating the trash. I don't seem to see in any of your videos you carrying a rifle or is that just taken for granted and not mentioned and you just focus on the gear you have to hand at that time, best wishes Owen.
Luke’s been busy guys. He’s got a lot on his plate and RUclips isn’t his only job. He doesn’t just ONLY do TheOutdoorGearReview. This channel reviews gear and it does so honestly. That’s what he promised you. Idk why people are getting upset.
Hi Luke! I see that this is not a shealth adventure! But that pack looks waterproof! By the sounds of the thunder, the rain will have it's day. I love true orange chicken also. My least favorite is Inovaisan. They add sesame in it and it ruins the orange flavor.
The rainy camp videos are my favorites, keep em coming! Stay safe.
…just watch those widowmakers..😳 Cheers to your bravery for being in dangerous weather!

Luke is not a bushcrafter. He's a hiker/camper who does a good job reviewing products saving us time, pain, dissapointment and money.
Overall, he's just a youtube creator.
Aren't they all on youtube?
To be fair he is mostly a car camper than a hiker...He often uses gear that is so ridiculously heavy that he never hikes more than a couple of yards from his truck.
Regardless of the term, his vid’s are a joy (for me) to watch; (I DON’T mind getting “older”; my body’s not taking it too well…). 🙃😉

Duck and run,,,,
Every man must know his limits. When not in a real survival situation always play it safe and retreat to modern comforts. No one is good when dead.

He's teaching a generation that they need a bunch of gadgets and expensive Camp gear.
And also to exaggerate weather conditions.

Dad gave them a test by allowing them a day trip to ride all the way from Gresham Oregon to Silverton Oregon to our grandparents house and then he followed about 5 miles behind them, on his ham radio keeping in contact at check points. They could do it. The beach is the other direction and just a few more miles so my parents felt that they could go on their camping trip. They were 18 years old and wanted to stretch their wings. This was way back in the mid 80's. I think if this was now, in 2024 too much bad stuff has happened to people out here on the roads--my parents would say NO. Back then it was a better, safer society, with more State police on the roads.
My brothers actually met two officers while on the road! It was a great experience for them, as the officers were impressed with their safety gear, and had all their ID. The officers contacted our parents back home to just check on them. Everything was cool. It all worked out for them. AS officers at the local police station where they were headed at their end destination a small town with camping facilities looked out for them, and when they checked in, mom and dad got a call. So it was set up for their safety and for them to have fun. They talked about this trip for years.
Sorry for the long story, but now one of them is in a nursing home with an amputated leg--and can no longer be on his own. My other brother, the one who is mentally challenged, still lives on his own today, but in my same apartment complex, just one floor down from me and my sister. The twins are now 59 years old. Me, I am 61 and disabled, writing this from my hospital bed, at home. I took in our younger sister when she became homeless after falling down a flight of stairs at her job. She had to have bilateral knee replacements! ONE of those had to be replaced! She has had her shoulder replaced too. Poor thing. She is 55. She is the baby sister.
Anyway, I love your camping videos, they are awesome! I wish I was not disabled, because I would love to try camping in an RV or something like that--as tent camping is out for me. Too strenous for me. Tried it at 50 and had a mild heart attack! Yikes! Love how you review the gear. I have plenty of church friends that go camping twice a year. So all the information I learn from your videos I can pass onto them! Thanks so much! WE have church campouts twice a year--then there are other campouts for the youth too. Unfortunately I have to sit these out. I never get enough videos or pictures, and now I can enjoy yours as well! Super, and yes they go summer, winter, fall and spring camping!!!
I love it when you find some equipment that works well and is less expensive. Thanks for all your research.
Next time you use that set up, use an aluminum or plastic carabiner to clip from the tent to the ridgeline. Then you won’t have to thread the ridgeline through the loop in the top of the tent. It will be a lot quicker, setting up and taking down.
Thanks Luke for the time out - i needed a rest from the ads on tv lol - now a days its ads with bits and pieces of programs thrown in to break up the ads - and most of the ads are JUNK - PEACE & HONOR SIR 🖖
Hey ,another fantastic video, Luke . Beat Wishes from Shropshire UK 🇬🇧
When your brother comes over and borrows camping gear, it is like loaning stuff to yourself ! 😉😀😎
Been hiking and camping most of my life and still do. Lived in South Carolina for years and storms with straight line winds would knock down acres of pine trees where I would go camping and now I live in North Texas in tornado alley which scares me to death. The wind has always scared me because of what it can do. I hate it !!!. Heard about a hiker up in Washington State that went missing a couple of years ago and they found him in his hammock under a fallen dead tree. The wind is not something to take for granted. Be careful out there.
Hey Luke, I'm a subscriber and i love your camping videos, especially the overnights in inclement weather. I'm a disabled 57 year old and i kinda camp vicariously through you and your wife. I live on some land that i occasionally camp out on, when I'm able, and I've learned so much from watching you guys. I plan on ordering some of those meals, trying to stay away from the ramen noodles. Keep the videos coming.
All the very best to you! I too camp vicariously through Luke and Suzy!
Hopeing outdoors practice can enable State/County to provide basic service as they do + give real-estate tax incentive for more
'Migration' ( as Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes 's album is called ).
Neat having overhead loop atop shelter
The Asian camping video's on here (and a few others I noticed) LOVE their ramen noodles.
@@Cassie4486 I love em too. Gotta cut down on the sodium. Dr's orders.
I worked with IRA at Lowe's in Wilkes. Tell him I said hi, this is Morris that Worked as Lowe's Security. I'm the one that had covid Three years ago and was in ICU . It has took 3 years to recover and still have some serious pain. But I started back hiking some . Love you channel. Again till IRA I said hey. God bless.
I like the tent you’re in today!
I enjoy these videos. There's a lot time and effort savings in those meals leaving more time to enjoy being out there.
I often run one of those UCO candle lanterns in my tent when doing cold weather camping. It doesn't exactly heat the tent, but it does give off just enough heat to help with condensation. You need to be mighty careful with any kind of fire inside your tent, obviously. But the tent is such a small, confined space that even a tiny bit of heat can make a difference. It also makes for a very chill atmosphere, that warm candlelight inside the tent when the conditions outside suck is really nice, much nicer than the sterile glow of an LED.
Loving all you windy rainy videos as always and appreciate you doing them , along with showing us the latest gear find that helpful. really enjoyed this adventure .
This is all comfort camping. My favorite camping is with the scouts on their wilderness campout. If my pack is over 10 lbs., I've got too much gear. My favorite shelter is a 10 x 12 tarp. Lean to, floor. A storm rolled through at night...Tornado warnings, rain, thunder, lightning. I was cozy. Actually, I sleep horribly. But that storm put me right to sleep...Until the scoutmaster woke everyone up to head to the vehicles. I was amazed at how dry the tarp kept me. How well it stood up to those conditions. I just with the scoutmaster would've left me alone!
I'm glad you made it off the mountain. Them storms ain't nothing to fool with, especially around trees. Wind and trees don't mix when camping. I liked the tent. Looked cozy. Thank you for sharing Luke. I always enjoy watching your videos.🥰👍
Hi Luke glad to hear you're OK after covid. Unfortunately lm one of those people who isn't ok after covid despite a mild infection. lm usually a very active outdoor person not since my infection. I can't thank you enough for your videos. I love them. You are really having an immense impact on my health in a positive way. Wishing you, Susie and your loved ones a beautiful Christmas and festive season. Keep safe and enjoy. See you in your next video 😀
loved the tent melting like the wicked witch of the west when the camp is taken down
At the first sign of trouble you hop over to your cozy truck ! I think the excitement is battling against the elements and not having to run to a backup vehicle. Surely this is how you gain experience ! Anyone can sit in a tent and review camping stuff.
I have the exact same Lantern and really enjoy it; Moto camping is what I do most and after a long day of riding there are times when I am just too tired to mess with a campfire. The lantern is quick and easy way to relax while getting the food going. Not the same as a campfire, just close enough. 😃
I think you were on the edge of the enormous system that tore up the east coast into New England earlier this week…Hurricane force winds, heavy rains, severe flooding, power outages…glad you left when you did.
Thanks Luke, I appreciate you taking us along.
Stay safe God bless and have a great Christmas with family.
When I had covid earlier this fall I could taste and smell just fine (though weirdly I can smell when I'm sick idk why but I can) my biggest thing was the lack of energy and just feeling cold from running a fever, plus had to drink a lot of water as I was almost always thirsty. I'm glad you got through it and I keep those dealing with it in my thoughts and prayers since not everyone gets off so easily as you said yourself. I miss camping so watching your videos helps me feel connected to my camping spirit until I get the time to go camping again some day.
Luke, I live in the Sandhills and our weather forecast are fairly spot on. I guess because of the terrain out in Western NC with the mountains and all that it can be all over the map. Now that the weather has gotten a bit colder I think I may set up out in the woods in my backyard for an overnight just to do it once again. This old age falling apart crap is really irritating as it interferes with past hobbies.
I hear you Brother , these Canadian winters are taking a toll on my worn out body .
The sounds of the woods make me so sleepy…
We love watching you and your wife camping together
Hi Luke. I was happy that you mentioned your brother. I would enjoy seeing the two of you together again.
Be safe, man
I'm indoor camping with you.
Got my pop-up tent out in the basement theater room
I'll watch a movie in your honor 🎖
Yogi Bear live action movie
It's so funny, so cozy!
14,500 views in 5 hours!!! Pretty amazing.
I have been a mountaineer for a long time and it is always like the first day... the emotion of not knowing where you will sleep and what the night will be like is always an extraordinary experience. I know that everyone understands me. We are pure nature.
Love the storm camping videos!!! Keep em coming please Luke!!!😍😍😍😍😍
A grreat day out in the inclement weather in an easy setup tent. Seasons Greetings to you Luke n Susie n family. Bushyboy Oz.
Weather forecasters- the only job you can be wrong at everyday and never get fired.
Well, almost, I can think of one other right off the top.
Luke the rain coming and wind was getting heavy be safe getting home
I grew up in Georgia and know all about trees just about exploding under the right conditions.
Oh my Luke it really looks cold there,,, I am shivering just watching,, I love watching winter camping, but the cold is hard on my bones,, I have never had covid,, praise God,, my friend has had it 4 x's now.. she is still not in good health.. my daughter has had it 2x's.. that wind is terrible you made a good choice to pack up and get out.. thank you for sharing..👍
The single biggest factor in fighting off infection has a lot to do with a strong immune system and you've mentioned you have really intense dreams.. so you're getting awesome sleep, healthy environment, smiling 😃
The Soto stove is such a beauty! It's neither the smallest not the quickest, but I like it a lot.
Good video Luke. Hope you enjoy the winter solstice tonight.
A smart man knows his limits with what he has on him. Great call.
Wow you and your brother should do a camping trip together that would be so cool
I love camping in the wind. Makes me sleep like a baby. But yeah, one eye open for whats gonna fall on ya.
I love my Tetra large...it's not TOO different from a tarp tent, very easy to set up with a few stakes and a center pole or ridge line, yet has good features like an inner and condensation control. Also, for someone who hates that kettle, that's the second adventure you've taken it on😁
Actually I've seen it in at least 3... You remember something like that it's such a weird looking Kettle. But hey it works so to each their own. And it seems to work nicely on all those gadget stoves
I also dig the storm videos... be safe out there!
Hi Luke and Susie. It was a windy and rainy one today. Love both of your videos. I enjoy watching both of you when you do your outings. My Son died from COVID in August 2022. Left a wife and 4 kids. Stay strong and Safe. Take care and God Bless you both.
So sorry for your loss. Covid is a terrible terrible illness. God bless, stay close if you can to those grand babies, they are a blessing.
I am a twin also, lost my brother 7/1/08. I would love to see you and your brother camp together.
I like these new stoves and pots. All the camping shows I’ve been watching they all have these newer pots.
Luke I don’t see snow. I’m loosing it. I hear thunder. It doesn’t matter I love your camping trips anyway. Just awesome
I had Garmin Fenix 3 for several years until I recently upgraded to the Epix 2. It’s an amazing watch! The battery lasts just as long as the Fenix at the end of its life. The AOD screen is great. Don’t need to pay monthly for services that doesn’t work in the middle of nowhere. Garmin is king in GPS watches.
Merry Christmas all from Oregon.
I really enjoy these quick adventures. And always happy to learn about new gear. I feel inspired that it can be so easy to just have an overnight camping adventure in the woods. Thank you for all your videos! 🎉
It is very easy. Just test out your equipment before you go out. Don't take anything you've never put together or used at home first.
And I don't care how much you spend on one of these expensive fancy tents, always waterproof them yourself before you go out and use it. The way I look at it why take a chance.
You don't have to go all scorched Earth in use Flex Seal clear like I do but at least spray it with some silicone spray especially around the seams and the zippers
Love your videos!!! I look forward to Every Thursday!!!!!!
Strength, Rain, Coffee and Honor, friends.
Luke, wow, are you sure that's coffee and not tar? 😮great video. Enjoy watching you. Stay safe, and God bless. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
They should call this tent.. The Batman tent. So cool design. My best wishes my friend. Merry Christmas from Greece 🌲
MERRY CHRISTMAS Luke and Sue
I always recommend before camping with new equipment to check how it works very well to avoid surprises on the site.
Man I love the color of the tent and Luke's jacket.
Love watching all the videos!
Glad you got a better phone❤Merry Holidays be careful Luke god bless❤
I really enjoyed this video! I just wanted to say thank you too for answering my question about through hiking..I really appreciated it!
Luke I would really love to see you have a overnight with your brother
A rainy day day camp. Nice idea. Good video.
Nice video as usual Luke. I hope you and family have a wonderful Christmas and healthy and happy new year.
Hunting season for sure, for the last 2 videos, on both channels, outdoors you're in bright orange! Hopefully they won't think og there's a Big Foot doing do outdoor gear review, trophy if you're asking me (loading 308.)
Dang with that backpack on a plane could spot you from inside a cloud at 15,000 feet. Holy glow in the dark backpacks Batman! 😉
That lantern was giving me anxiety! The tent walls were blowing in really close to it 😳
I used to like windy days, until last year I was out for a day hike in a local city park, I was on a rough dirt trail, completely covered by tree canopy, and out of nowhere a freakin derecho storm kicks up, and I can hear trees crashing down all around me, branches flying, I had one fly by my head and scratched my cheek, people screaming...now I really don't like wind. Good call on going home Luke!
Often, mountain weather can vary significantly from that in the lowlands not only with temperature, but with winds as well.
The wind in forest scary; yet on a beach I need friends for any hope of success. And thank you Luke for high elevation observing !
I enjoy your videos! I used to go camping before I needed cpap. I had covid in 2021. I spent 5 days in the hospital! I'm glad we both made it through! I'm glad you don't have the music that plagues so many videos! I'm also glad to see you're supporting Darn Tough socks. They're made near where I live! And coffee for me.. Kicking Horse Coffee, Three sisters blend. Cheers!
That sucks for the people that have cpap machines they would have to buy a portable battery power and solar panels to keep you going just to go camping. 😔
I don't go camping anymore but on the good side, the cpap keeps me alive!
Oh Luke! You have set yourself up! Now we need to have a video of the brothers camping together! A current video, not one from the past (nice try!).
People look at the title. Outdoor Gear REVIEW! He quite often hikes a good distance away from his truck, when car/cabin camping he cooks food. Mostly rice, broccoli, and some sort of meat with sauces. The main point of his channel is to try products out and see what works and what doesn’t. I read reviews, but would much rather see the product being used in the environment it is intended for. Thanks Luke.
Great video, The woods are a great place to recharge. I spend a lot of time there myself.
That bent tree is called a trail marker tree. Look it up. Native Americans made it More than likely.... The tree looks old enough I think..
That bent tree in the beginning could be a ancient Indian trail marker
Good observation!
Huge fan - I’ve shared your channel with a buncha friends and me and my wife watch your vids all the time cheers mah man cheers!
I’m surprised you would set up a tent there with so many trees and or branches down from previous storms. Seems like high potential for more to come down with your current weather conditions. No?
Time to get off look out mountain and go deeper into the wilderness. It’s like going into your backyard. Let’s go
Thanks for the food update! Must try the Beyond 😊 Thanks Susie!
Don't blame you on getting out of there! When the trees start to break off, it's time to LEAVE!!
Hi Luke, dont boil coffee!!😣 just ”burb” it then you you will have good coffee. Boiling separetes oils from coffee beans and it tates little bitter. Nice episode!
I have to say I enjoy watching your trips out into the woods and trying out different gear and your reviews. I live in the UK and over here we don't have any wildlife that can eat you. I know many years ago that I went to see an uncle up in Vancouver and he happened to mention after I had been on a very long day cycling in the back woods that they had bears in their back yard eating the trash. I don't seem to see in any of your videos you carrying a rifle or is that just taken for granted and not mentioned and you just focus on the gear you have to hand at that time, best wishes Owen.
Merry Christmas, y'all from Texas ❤️
yikes Luke stay safe lucky God bless you and Suzie and ur family
Summer months we get winds 45-70 m.p.h. and winter months 90-120+ m.p.h. here on the Oregon Coast.
The Cobra is back...Thanks for all great info..Be cool & be safe..Bon Champ '24
I'm glad you got out of there! I was worried.
Thank you Luke. For another great gear review. Couldn’t help notice you are still using your love to hate it. Tea kettle. Lol.
Merry Christmas to you and wife too Happy new year
Luke’s been busy guys. He’s got a lot on his plate and RUclips isn’t his only job. He doesn’t just ONLY do TheOutdoorGearReview.
This channel reviews gear and it does so honestly. That’s what he promised you. Idk why people are getting upset.
Hi Luke! I see that this is not a shealth adventure! But that pack looks waterproof! By the sounds of the thunder, the rain will have it's day.
I love true orange chicken also. My least favorite is Inovaisan. They add sesame in it and it ruins the orange flavor.
I'm in a house and warm. Envy the peaceful rainy vibration.
