      Tornado warnings are issued if a tornado had been spotted in the field or the radar shows a tornado signature. Radar indicated tornados don’t always materialize into a real tornado.

    Usually, tornadoes in the mountains are short-lived; however, on April 27, 2011, an ef4 tornado tore through the Great Smoky Mountains over 10 miles. This was after it began in Cherokee National Forest in Monroe county, TN. It crossed over Chilhowee Lake and entered the park and tore up the mountains. Not much info was shared about it because this is a very remote area of the park. I know about it because I live close to where it was.. love your videos!

      Thank you for sharing that interesting information about the tornado in the Great Smoky Mountains! It's always fascinating to learn about the powerful forces of nature in different regions. By the way, have you ever considered having a Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series as part of your camping gear? It's a versatile and durable power station that can provide ample power for your outdoor adventures. It's definitely worth checking out!

    Unless you are doing a test review, in this weather I'd definitely be putting my tent under a tarp in this weather.. And for those who haven't tested their tents for waterproofing - then putting it under your tarp is even more important.

    • @keonisan
      @keonisan 11 месяцев назад +11

      The tent should always be under the tarp completely, why would you trust a tent's waterproof rating 100 percent of the time. The tarp being over it as an additional fly is always there to protect you.

    • @MsRotorwings
      @MsRotorwings 11 месяцев назад +3

      I’ve tested my Big Agnes Copper Spur in major storms. It’s good to know that your gear will withstand inclement weather.
      As for the tarp being in a separate area, it allows you to sit and cook in dry conditions without having to be in the confines of a tent. Luke sets up his camp like this all the time. He’s always testing gear so it makes sense.

    • @keonisan
      @keonisan 11 месяцев назад +2

      @@MsRotorwings Everything I've ever done as a camper screams at me that he's doing it wrong. If he's staying in the cabin and doing it on a storm test that's one thing but for his own personal trips I'd always have the tarp over the tent entrance to ensure that it's always dry and he doesn't have a ruined trip.

    As a youngster I did a lot of camping with the scouts in the mid 70's until about '80. We never had a "general shelter" like a good tarp provides. Maybe they were too heavy back then. I would never go out today without a large, good tarp.

      I was a scoutmaster in the late 80's and early 90's. Equipment has come so far since then. You are right, tarps were heavy and not always fully waterproof in Western Washington back then. You could equate tarps back then with Harbor Freight tarps today. We always carried transparent plastic to throw over the tent. Never put up a tarp for general gathering since the plastic was too prone to ripping. This video brings back so many memories, Thank you, so much.

    You know what, I stumbled over your videos, I don't know how and I'm not even sure why the original video was even recommended to me as I hadn't watched or searched for anything related to what you do. That said I've watched a fair few now and I have to say that they're actually really enjoyable. I usually watch channel like these for a while and then I move on. If they've left an impression on me I'll randomly remember the channel and go back and see what they've been up to and binge through the video. However in this case I genuinely going to subscribe. I can see myself sticking around for a while. The rain certainly helps as I am a big lover of rain, if it could rain every other day without causing any issues at all I'd personally choose for it to do that. Anyway, I haven't camped for many many years but I enjoy the reviews, even if I'm never going to buy any of it. The videos are calm, informative and relaxing. Relaxing to the point that I had a video on last week and was watching it a bit before bed and as I was laying there I caught myself falling asleep half way through almost an hour video, don't worry, I picked it back up that next morning. Keep up the great videos and all the best to you.

    Great video Luke ! Glad you missed the tornadoes. I love storms (blizzards, heavy rain, strong winds, but I say no to tornadoes, hurricanes , avalanches, floods, earthquakes. Those are forces of nature that you cannot stand against. The best remedy is, "not be there"! I think that I've mentioned that I grew up 70 miles from Lake Superior in the far north of Wisconsin. So blizzards and powerful winds, heavy rain are all part of daily life there. I LOVE the sound of a blizzard. Puts me to sleep in no time flat. Same with high winds or heavy rain. The last 50 years have been in Colorado. You were in my back yard at Electric Pass, American Lake, Ashcroft, etc. Your trip to Mount of the Holy Cross wasn't too far away from home. Have enjoyed watching you and Suzy for the last few years. I'm glad to see her "step out" and do some solo stuff. She's great, so are you.

      @@charlieo.farmer2468 I'm glad to know that charlieo. We live in Cajun Country in Southwest Louisiana and people used to throw, hurricane parties. The last one I ever have heard about was, I think, during hurricane Camille, years ago. They were on the beachfront and the wind-driven rain and tidal surge killed all of the, people at that, "party" except for a 12-year-old boy, who was found clinging to a tree. That's to the best of my memory and it was a long time ago, now, as I'm old now... There was also a camping video where the guy, in Canada purposely went camping in the hurricane from last year, I think it was. I asked him if he was out of his mind! He had a wife at home carrying a baby. He did finally split and went back home, thankfully. But people do such things, but I think he truly got scared out of his gourd and left out for home. Having gone through many hurricanes in all the years we've lived here--It's not a cause for a party and neither is it the time to go camping in one (in the woods.)!!!

They are like an insurance policy on your ankles and knees as you get older. I started young with poles and am it my seventies now, no problems with my ankles or knees and I still hike about 40 miles a week.

      Change your gait (and pack weight) earlier in life, and your ankles and knees won't wear out as soon. I gave up on poles young.

    I agree with your decision to stay in the cabin. It just seems like it would have been a very long and miserable night trying to sleep in a wet tent, and with a wet blanket. I love your show! And I love instant coffee too!

    Hello Luke, I love this adventure! I’m glad you are safe! I love how you adapt to fast changes! I’ve learned so much from y’all. You and Susie inspire me to start walking again. I won’t be hiking and climbing because of my health. Y’all take care, stay safe and keep hiking!

    6 liters of water during your Hawaii hike, I'd been wondering & asked in the comments. Now I know, & you & Susie & the other hiker consumed all 6 liters. That's a lot of water to consume in a day. You & Susie will be a big part of the other hiker's memory for the rest of his life.
    30:46 - that HOT meal, I'm sure, was devoured/inhaled.
    37:34 - The CABIN - was an excellent idea from the get-go. A nice, comfy cozy bed to welcome your ole bod.
    43:20 - I'd be munching on my pre-cooked bacon instead of a "breakfast cookie".
    Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

    Hey everyone, I just came across this new project called Freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. I watched the video and I must say, the features and design of this e-bike are truly impressive! The fact that it can be charged indoors is a game-changer. The brushless 750W motor seems to provide incredible power while navigating different terrains, and the 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires ensure a smooth ride in any condition. I also love the smart saddle detection+ feature, as it brings a new level of fitness and technology to cycling. Overall, this e-bike seems to offer a unique blend of versatility and sustainability. I'm definitely considering backing this crowdfunding project!

    I live on Petoskey St. in Gaylord, MI. I was home when the tornado went through last spring. Got my cats in the bathroom, and the next ten minutes were the scariest of my life. We were very lucky, not much damage to our home. No power for a couple days, but since we like to camp we had supplies for ourselves, and were able to help out our neighbor with a battery bank to keep her phone charged.

    Great video as always! Something I have always loved about your channel is that you show your gear, AND how to use it. I love that you also include a gear list which is SUPER helpful for someone like me. The ambience, sounds, and views in your videos top it off even more too. Great footage, and top tier quality. You are my go to channel for camping, nature, etc. As a Wolf therian myself, it is very important to be out in nature and connect with it as much as I can. I have that inner Wolf too, and it's amazing that I can feel right at home in the wilderness with your videos. Thank you so much, and keep it up!

    I love watching your videos because I can live vicariously through your adventures. (I haven't been able to camp at all this year, due to no PTO at the moment.) The sound of the rain on your tarp was almost mesmerizing. You make camping in the rain look like fun! I have had a few experiences camping in the rain, but a 1:30 a.m. tornado warning was NOT fun.

    Great video !
    Thank you for the close up camera shots of you tying your tarp to the trees.
    I asked for it and you delivered ! I greatly appreciate it !
    Great sound too of the storm.
    Love hearing the thunder come through so clearly on the video.
    Good call on going to the trailer/camper. I would have done the same.
    Great work as usual. 👍

    Great video! Looks like a fun trip. I have done a little tarp camping, mostly in the winter and always closer to the ground. It's interesting to seeing new techniques.
    IIRC that swagman role is climashield, it really can't hold moisture and will dry from body heat in an hour or so. It will insulate fine when wet too.

    Hi Luke, we just had winds and a major storm and we lost two huge trees. We lost another one that took out the electricity for a week. All of this happened a week apart. That storm brought straight line wind at 82 mph. Down came 4 trees. None of them caused any problems. Lucky. God was sitting right beside me while all of this was happening. It took 2 hours for this major storm to leave. It was wild. Still here and kicking crocks ( boots). To hot for my boots. Hope y’all had a beautiful vacation.
