Wow I would rather watch stuff like this than any of the garbage on tv. Luke you are killing it my man.
Still holds true almost years later.
I'll second that! good stuff
..and still holds up in 2019! 😁
The good stable camera work and very good audio/video quality Is key. I find these adventure videos very peaceful and relaxing, great before bed. 👍👌✌
Still holds up in 2020!

Hi Luke , My daughter who is 8 yrs.old along with myself love watching your video's. She's told me multiple times she likes how you make us feel that we're right there with you.And she's right , you do a wonderful job of bringing us in to your adventures. I would of never of thought that would have become such a fan of your videos but my daughter and I always look forward to your next adventure! Thank you for letting us come along for the ride!
Sam & Samantha
Sam Roth Thank you so much Sam and Samantha. You both have made my day!

Hey, many greetings from Germany, I share your opinion for the Videos from Luke, and I´m 68 years old... ;-)))
I’m sure that meal was terrific. Much better than the old “K” rations my dad had in the army during the early 60’s. Love your videos because it’s as close as I’ll ever get to camping out. Permanently disabled now and my meds keep me pretty much at home now. As for camping out, you know exactly what you’re doing and also what not to do. Speaking of WWII, my favorite also, it reminds me of what our young men went through at the Battle of the Bulge. Bitter bitter cold, no fires for very obvious reasons. Our young men in Korea battling bitter cold, cut up wool blankets tied on top of their boots to try and keep their feet warm. Weather has and always will be something our young men and now women have to contend with, not to mention the enemy and what they’re trying to do to us. Anyway, like I said, I truly enjoy your videos and to all who served, thank you from an aging old veteran! There’s another enemy, getting old sure as hell isn’t for sissy’s.
God speed
I;m 73 now and disabled, I used to love camping. I always brought a few trash bags, stored some wood inside when saw that rain eas likely. Also when shoes got wet fresh socks with plastic bags over them saved my feet from getting to cold. Just started watching your videos love them.
Great video! Love the WWII history. As a Marine, I can tell you that a 45 pound load is about what we carried. In the pack. The extra weight was ammo, weapons, 782 gear, bpv, and various other mission essentials. But, for hiking, 45 pounds is a very respectable load. Keep up the great videos.
no need hiking or camp in wood ,
just watching you are videos and relax in the bed......thanks Luke
love, love, LOVE the military surplus overnighters.....thank you so much for making these....
soon with a bit of luck I'll be getting the use of my legs back. I've sworn an oath to get out and do this sort of stuff. it's been a life saver watching the episodes and it kept me sane for several years. thank you
Hello Kieran, how are you doing? I read your comment on this 6 year old video and just wondered if you are doing ok with your legs. I realize it's none of my business, but I think people should sort of check up on our fellow humans. Wishing you a happy, healthy new year.
@@romantichorror5289 hello luke. Yes still following your channel. I'm convinced there is a tailor made storm waiting for you out there one day. 😁 Legs not done yet and with this virus I'm keeping my head down. There are people in worse positions out there if you get my drift. Thanks for asking about my condition. Mind is sound Heart is too. Happy New year Mate. I just keep watching the uploads. Sometimes twice. Stay safe Bro
Very enjoyable. I can't get out at the moment due to health issues but your vids are helping my morale, thanks.
I was homeless for several years, yet my backpacking experience from when I was younger helped me out alot
Beautiful ending shot of the snow coming down.
My father fought in WW2 and was on the beach 2 days after d day. Those men were the bravest men alive and definitely the greatest generation. It's odd that men in combat won't give you a straight answer on how many men they killed. When asked my father would just say he didn't remember, yet he was the greatest man I've ever known! I miss him so much!
You know you made it when Thor sends you gifts...
Man. These videos are so inspiring! I need to get out into the wilderness ASAP!
I like the way you review gear of all types. It's no fun listening to guys review gear that you can't afford. And, I get ill hearing people always talk about "ultralight". The army was more than happy to let me march all day with 80 lbs on my back. Thanks for your videos
Your correct about axe safety. I was falling a tree in my younger years, let’s say many years ago and the axe skipped off the tree sap and went through the boot leather and the steel eyelet and I ended in the ER with a few stitches. So yes, know what your doing. Measure of the distance in front, as well as a safe circle around and over you.
Turmat means tur=trip mat = food :-) greetings from Scandinavia.
Yes, tour food :-)
Tur= lucky or tour/trip, so It could be lucky food aswell.
"Tour or trip" does not necessarily mean "field", especially when you have to lit a fire and boil some water to rehydrate the meal. Thanks.
Absolutely love the Military Surplus episodes 😀 Keep them coming!
I went camping in the winter storm we had the night before thanksgiving, everyone said I was crazy. Thanks for all the inspiration man
I was hoping you would wake up to a winter wonderland! Like the German snow poncho! Good show!
Reviews are great, but seeing the items in use ... Priceless.
The Tips and Tricks are the best. They give me ideas ... nothing is better than that.
Great adventure. Your morning yawn was contagious!
Hi bud , love your vids! watching from uk 🇬🇧, spent 21 years in Norway , outdoors and camping enthusiast. Tur mat = “Tur” means to go on a hike/walk in nature . “Mat” = food .
They have all manner of concoctions in Norway , including tur mix” basically high energy but and fruit mix , tur pølse - hot dogs, even chocolate which they traditionally take on a “ tur “ they basically love nature ! Just as it should be!
Luke your the best story teller!! Educational and funny. ))
thanks for taking us along :)
iscariot project Sure thing my friend.
Be well.
- Luke
just a tip , here in Australia we have plastic rubbish bin bags they dont weigh anything and if you know rain is coming you can put your kindling inside to keep it dry and put the bag over your woodpile to keep it dry. they have another hundred uses as well including taking any rubbish out with you. great vid .
Strength and Honor ! Thanks
Ur the best camper period salute,,,
Got still a Toyota Tacoma, Single cab, standard, 2WD with 220000 miles on it, never been in the shop, ever, everything works just great, AC super cold; I changed the EGR Valve once, Its muffler which is an old Evenflow, (dual pipe, it sounds really bad ass) has a hole on it from rust and needs replacement but other than that only tires, oil, battery and that is it. put it through hell, used for delivery and work truck for many years, towed its gross weigh bringing it from South Florida to Las Vegas back in 2006, still run for many years, it seats outside in my driveway for the last 2 years but it was not broken, battery is off it. Its original Aluminum wheels were infinity with BF Goodrich Tires were stolen from an old neighbor's roommate who was a scrap collector and salesman, could never get them back; this was while they were sitting outside my garage on the side of the property, behind a fence because I fitted the truck with performance wheels and rings. I seen you older videos of the muse and I love that truck too, If I ever see one, would probably buy it. Many people have asked me if the Toyota is for sale but it is not. I went through a lot with it for almost 15 years; it never failed me and it is not strange to develop that kind of attachment to it..if is not needed to sell it, I will keep it for as long as I can!
Great vid. My Dad was a WWII vet. He never talked about it. Flat out refused to.
My 2003 4Runner is awesome. Love that vehicle. Wear and tear has cost me a bit, but I trust it more than any car/truck I have had and will keep it until it rots.
I dont even go camping and I love these videos, keep it up!
They could use a man like you in the Army to teach survival courses. Love your vids Thanks for sharing.
you can also put "hand warmers" around the water bottle or between the canteen and cover to keep it from freezing.
And everyone yawns at 34:24 Great video, really enjoyed it!
Great safety tips there for chopping wood and especially making tent pegs.
Good job man
excellant as usual, makes me want to get out in the snow, and do an over nighter...thanks for letting us tag a long
Some time ago, I scratched my cornea, which repairs itself if not too bad. But I had to wear a patch for a day and keep my eye closed. It spoiled 1 day out of a trip because it was too dangerous to walk and I didn't want to take a chance on falling. The real bad thing was that it delayed my trip and resupply. There was also future rain in the forecast and I was on rocky terrain. I didn't have much choice and walked twice as far and fast to get to my destination, once my eye healed. That trip was memorable, albeit, for the wrong reasons. Now and always I wear safety glasses. For the longest times they were big and bulky, the kind that fit over glasses. But now a days there are smaller versions that have built in bifocal lenses. I have sunglass styles as well as bright amber(night time) and regular clear ones. I feel it is very important to wear safety glasses around the camp, especially when chopping wood. Liked you vid. ATB, Jb

I poked my eye out at work one day with a fish tape and was blind in that eye for 13 years. For about ten of those years I was a SAR dude in the N. Cascades. I did it for about 15 years. I can tell you it was every bit as difficult to learn to see with two eyes again as it was to learn to see with one.
When splitting wood it always splits easiest from top to bottom, opposite the way it grew.
Thats a cool mess kit.
I like your videos
Thanks Luke for this video. Turmat means food for the trip.
What a great adventure, I thoroughly had fun. Recently I have been depressed, and haven't made it out to the woods lately. You mentioned Norway, and that case of food you got from thor. I had the craziest dream, that I was stranded in Norway, everyone was super nice. I also a had a dream like thing while driving through the tunnels heading into work in the city. It was more like a feeling that I was going to loose my family and be alone wondering the world. I immediately got emotional, because I love my wife and kids. Since then I have been trying to prepare my self. Thanks Luke have a blessed Christmas
Luke, I will likely never be out in the middle of nowhere camping, but for certain if I ever am, I'll be sure to remember all the varied skills you teach along with the regular hiking wisdom even if it's how to use a knife properly the way you used it in this video.
Luke your channel has saved me over lockdown, great channel! Very happy subscriber, keep up the great content brother!
oh,i forgot i enjoy your vids no matter how long you make them interesting never a dull moment.thank you again
Luke I was just now able to watch your last few videos. I have been watching your channel for several months and I have always enjoyed them very much. I must say your videos just keep getting better and better. Thanks for taking the time to film your adventures and sharing them with us.
I have a friend whose dad was in WW II and hated camping. When asked why he said he camped all the way across Europe with no choice and saw no reason to do so currently if he did not have to. Had a couple other friends that walked across Europe during WWII.
Like the four frame segment to show progress of your setup. Reindeer translates to caribou. I like to pile up stuff to act as a windbreak across the head end of my lean to , might have been a good place to pile some firewood. One camp I made a wind break of rocks on edge, laid into an open box shape.
Nice Adventure Luke, the Yugoslavian mess kit looks pretty nice, hope you had a great time. Looking forward to more. Take care.
Also, I enjoyed the fireside chat!
Luke you teach me a lot about hiking and camping thank a lot you must have hundreds of dollars of camping gear.
Love watching you all the time. Watching Susie too
your videos are of the same quality i expect to see from a show like survivorman. its really a testament to your ability that these videos are so well done. you have my respect sir.
Some other gear I use, power pot that recharges USB items with fire and water boiling(no sun needed uses a high temp Seebeck TEG), paired with goal zero four battery recharger(for headlamps, so fourth). You should also look into Himin solar evacuated tube cookers(reason they are the best is because they use full stainless tubes within the glass so no fluids or food or possible breaking of the tube due to that design)- you can bake bread or slow cook your food, like an hour for four pounds of chicken that tastes like rotisserie, or boil a pot of coffee, Ive used them under dense tree coverage and even on grey days- hands down the easiest no tending or burning applications BUT ALSO- you can leave it empty and generate heat for a tent or lean to with hammocks as I do- it will stun you how well it works
. With all of your other gear and reviews I would say you would realllllly love the stuff to use. You talked about stoves, I utilize the solo for the wood gas and the usb recharger, but yeah I wish they made them from titanium as well as you mentioned. Your awesome man, good reviews and natural candor with the videos.
Despite getting rained out any woods time is a good time!
I never knew underpants made a good hat. Thanks !
Yes you are correct sometimes you just have to call it and get out. Down here in the south we get rained out too. I have had to pack out in the middle of the night a few times when the weatherman said "Clear tonight with cooler temps" Then you get there and low and behold midnight hits with the sky opening up with a flood.
Sorry about the snow. Nice night, though. Thanks again....................Ross
Digging the still shots every once in awhile. Much better idea then the video fade shots I have seen in your other videos. Keep up the great work and would love to see your wife and you in an overnight adventure outside. My wife and I love your videos and have just about watched them all last 3 days.
This is one of my very favorite videos. Great job, Luke! Military surplus gear is heavy but it is well worth the weight and expenditures. They will last for generations. I used a pack my Dad used in New Guinea during WWII for several years. Unfortunately, it was stolen out of the back of my pickup.
Alexander Weaver probably shouldn’t have had it in the back of the truck. Can’t trust anyone unfortunately. #nofaithinhumanity
You can also put hand warmers in next to your water bottle to keep it from freezing.
I miss my ALICE pack. Had one stationed in Germany two and a half years, even bought one from the PX before heading back Stateside (mid-80s) in hopes of always having the same one I used, lived out of then. Unfortunately, when my back was turned, my mom sold it at a yard sale she had going on at one point. I also have the lighter MSS bag, but should get the one you use in this video at some point, and probably one or both of the bivies as well. Thanks for this video, and all you do and share those of us who appreciate the great outdoors as well.
Hey Luke my friend what about eye protection ? Bro you get a wood chip in the eye miles from nowhere and your screwd !!! Simply keep your Sun glasses on .can't be to safe in the woods !!! Be safe !!!
Agree.
Nice set up that's the way I would've had when I did it
Can't wait till the next adventure luke! Happy holidays.
Turmat = Hiking Food / trip food. We used this in the norwegian army! pretty tasty :)
Thanks for the videos you make!
Growing up in Oregon, I remember learning about the balloon bombs during the WW2 segment of AP History in high school, I believe we were shown some old newspaper photos of the aftermath as well. Never heard them mentioned again until today.. over two decades later!
👍👌✌
Pretty guitar in your closing music. Thanx for an adventure I was able to enjoy while I relaxed in a steamy hot bath. LOL
Keep 'em coming Luke!🏕
Hello my brother, reindeer is basically a caribou love you man keep those videos coming
Yes in my opinion Toyota 4 runner is a great suv. I have a 2005 with 271, 000 miles. It's been a great s u v
You enjoy the WWII period as do I. Here’s something you may not know? Battleships were the kings of the sea for many many years. They projected a countries power. WWII came along and the battleship was no longer king, it was the aircraft carrier. Carrier aviation was pretty much in its infancy at that time, but what was learned is aircraft could destroy and sink ships fairly easily. A torpedo damaged the rudder of the Bismarck making it to where it could only go in circles and the Royal Navy used it for target practice. Even then it didn’t sink. A testament to German engineering. The battleship Tirpitz was sank by British bombers. The Yorktown and all 4 of the Japanese carriers were sank at Midway from dive bombers and torpedo bombers. The largest battleships ever built, the Yamato and the Musashi both sank by our dive bombers and torpedo planes. The list goes on and on of course, but we’ve built aircraft carriers ever since. Now they’re 1,106 foot super carriers. One last note and I’ll sign off, no country including the U.S. has ever built anymore battleships after WWII ended. The only thing done with battleships after WWII was the U.S. using Iowa class battleships in limited use during Korea and Vietnam. Then President Reagan had the Iowa’s refitted during the 80’s from threats of Russian battlecruisers I believe it was. A lot of our battleships are museums now. All the Iowa class are, the North Carolina, the Alabama, the Texas, the Massachusetts. Anyway, sorry for the long read, that wasn’t my intention, but I do hope you’ll find this interesting?
God speed
And not a bear came visiting you as they were hunkered down in some dry woods till morning then saw an apparition something wandering about dressed like a ghost and said uh huh no way are we going visiting that scary thing. Cheers Luke, regards to Susie.
You can't go wrong with Toyota's. They are rock solid and will last forever if maintained right. Great choice ! I want American trucks, but they just aren't made to last anymore !!!
+MrKelso159 That's the truth brother. My father has a newer Ford and it's one problem after another.
I'lll stick with Toyota for a long time.
- Luke
+MrKelso159.. I have an 82 G~10 Chevy van, 110 wheel base.....362,000 miles, owned it for 26 years, and she never left me stranded anywhere......nursed it home on a slipping clutch once, but got it home.....but then again, it's old school, three on the tree, manual fuel pump, carburetor, whats there to go wrong......these new vehicles, it's not if ...it's when.... happy trails !!
This was a great video. I like when you talk at night.
"Do you are Robert?"
Hahaha. Classic internet. I laughed so hard at your perplexed expression.
Great military surplus gear you used. When my kids were in Scouts I got them the packs and down bags from my time, which came in darn handy when they got their Polar Bear badges up north here
You can stop it from freezing. Things can freeze faster but generally if your insulation and added electrolyte won't freeze in a freezer over night then it will not freeze as directed by thermal dynamics.
Great video Luke. This is so much what I love doing ! People will stop and say "Are you crazy" but I say if you haven't tried it then don't knock it ! ATB & SH...
Hi Luke, Mohammed here. Really an awesome outdoor video. You have really come so far in each and everyone of your new videos Luke and i salute you for that. All the editings are getting way way better than ever. Keep it up with more videos to come. And brother, THANK YOU for sharing with us your adventures, we all appreciate it. Strength and Honor my friend, be well. :)
Outstanding video and adventure. Hope that jamboree would happen next year. Count me in...
This was 8 years ago? Wow. I just finished watching you test the big 8-person military tent and now you're telling me a snow storm is coming and all you have is the bivie with a small tarp. Dang go get that big, secure tent from the future.
Luke, something that i do to get the majority of that sediment out of the water is the really fine paint strainers sold for automotive paints. They are cheap, and light. Just get the smallest and finest mesh ones.
Luke, I think if I was going to get that much snow, I would rather have a tent over me. Snow can blow under the tarp. It doesn’t sound very warm.
Great video as always Luke!
A great and fun video as always Luke! Glad I have you in my favorites column. I went out this weekend myself and had an awesome time, but I fought damp wood myself. Thanks for posting this as it made for a relaxing Sunday afternoon! All the very best my friend! - Donny
Turmat means "trip food" or food eaten on an outting outdoors such as a hike or camping.
I agree with the WW2 topics - a ton a crazy stories untold
Thanks Luke!
Well done my friend. Got out after the rain and started a fire just to see if I could using the same stuff you were using. worked like a charm. Good point on leaving the back of your tarp up a bit sometimes you want a little air flow.
Sew holes up , add leather flaps, nice looking
If I remember correctly, a Force Road March the pack should weigh 48 pounds, per the standard. That's not including weapon, helmet, vest loaded with gear. You hump that for 12 miles in 3.5 hours or so.
I have watched this video over and over...love it. The format you use of sitting around the camp fire and "talking story" as we say in Hawaii is relaxing and so enjoyable. My Dad fought in three wars including WWII under General MacArthur. Some of his stories could make your skin hairs dance, not in a good way. Like you, Luke, I love military surplus gear and since my active duty days have accumulated a pile of it. The local military surplus store is my candy store along with Harbor Freight. I cannot find an Alice Pack with frame in an acceptable shape...so still looking. That Yugoslavian mess kit looks intriguing however I would have to adjust my mental attitude re drinking out of a square container. I guess I'm anal. I've never eaten the Turmat meal but enjoyed other freeze dried meals from various countries I had the pleasure of backpacking. My favorite was a schnitzel meal prepared in Germany by a local friend. Luke, experience makes you an incredible teacher. Even with 60 years of backpacking experience I still learn from the best and you are at the top.
Absolutely brilliant video Luke, totally loved every minute of this one. The war facts were amazing so thanks for enlightening us! :-)
Great bits of kit you had that worked as they should. Great tips as always and your location looked great.
The snow looked amazingly awesome mate..........keep the vids coming and stay safe out there! :-)
Nice adventure truly enjoyed watching it thanks for sharing
I use dryer lint and used oil from my car in a drug testing kit. Bought some weed and ironically it was given to me in the urine cup for a UA. It makes a fantastic waterproof container for the lint and oil.
Great vid, Luke. Reviews and camping situation were very helpful infor. Don't know how you tolerated the elements as long as you did. You definitely have a love for outdoors. great shots of the snow.
Great episode! Thanks for all your hard work.
Superb. Really one of the best bushcraft chanells on youtube. Good show, mate! Thank you!
Wow we love to go camping but I'm really scared of snakes bugs and I don't like dark never went comping... watching your videos makes me want to try it maybe someday me and my husband will go comping on our back yard first 😄
Love me some Outdoor Gear Review.
Great axe-work!
Truly five-star advice on axe-security.
Awesome video! It has gotten me very excited to try out the Yugoslavian mess kit....(I was the winner of it last year+2 insulated canteens!) Thanks again!! I'm planning a winter Backpacking adventure in the Nicolet National forest of Wisconsin. Hoping to post my first overnight video up here on RUclips, Thanks for the inspiration! Strength and Honor my friend! Carl
