4" of Rain - In the Storm, In the Heavy Rain, with the Lightning - Truck Camping with a Massive Tent

[@clifbradley]

In the first 2 minutes of this video, Luke did 28 camera transition shots. Shout out to his dedication for replacing that camera just for 1 second B roll shots. I'm sure some of them in the truck are stock shots edited in. But probably not. Luke you are one amazing cinematographer to to through all that to ensure the perfect in frame shot. Always steady, always good sound, always edited crisp and clean.

[@papajeff5486]

Luke, how do you do the shots, 1-6 seconds, and maintain the continuity of the story? Do you have several cameras? Kentucky

[@SoloHiker1]

Shout out to you Clif for counting his transitions....😆

I noticed this right away. He definitely goes the extra mile for that production factor. Love it !! Good work Luke 👍🏼

One of the best channels on KZbin.

[@drforjc]

So, you're saying you've never encountered Bigfoot in all your time spent outdoors. But this guy has singlehandedly captured multiple videos and pix of Ol' Squatch. Gotta love it.

[@papajeff5486]

We were in the kitchen, close to supper time. My grandson, Gabriel, eighteen months old, in a droopy diaper, no shirt, barefooted, is plodding upstairs, literally just to one side of the kitchen. “Gabe, where you going?” He said, “I just need some peace and quiet”. All guys, sometimes, just need some peace and quiet. Kentucky

[@TheMidnightModder]

That is the coolest toddler I have ever heard. Less than 2 years older and already a man. What an inspiration 👏

[@orendz7740]

Yes sir, that’s why I do a lot of fishing. Gabe is already a wise young man.

[@xappyoverland]

Dude is wise before his time 👍 😊

[@ucitymetalhead]

Yeah I definitely do unless the world wants another nut.

[@bennyc409]

My wife said "Gabriel! Get out!". I said "No! Let the boy watch! Let him learn the way I learned. The way my daddy learned".

[@dougduncan3992]

Luke really enjoyed all the rain and the tent made by Design Ohasu Days held up really well!

[@sandracarlson8215]

No animals were harmed in the making of this video. Lol! Nice job. Enjoyed this very much.

[@oldsoldier181]

Those tents are simply the modern day version of the old canvas tents. We used to camp in those, they were HUGE and heavy. No floors. We all slept on cots. We could cook inside when it was bad weather. Good times!!!

[@irmabigler3516]

And plenty of Daddy Long leg spiders. As a kid I would only sleep in the car because of the spiders.

[@stephenalbert4769]

Thank you for this fantastic type of content. I literally watch your videos for one reason: living vicariously through your weather event advenures. Yes, I love hearing what you have to say about different tents and gear. I also like your stories and such. But in all honesty, I come for the camping and stay for the rain. I don't get to tent or go camping in the same capacity and watching you do it is a relaxing stress reliever. Thanks.

[@carolwelcome2882]

You and Susie have been blessed with beautiful property Luke.

[@lindsayp1062]

I don't get the entitlement of people like Ms. Sandra telling people what to do and how to live. I'm so thankful for your channel because I can't get out and camp like I did when I was a kid, my body is too busted anymore! You and your wife are such great people and I just want to say how much I appreciate your videos!

[@TE5LA-GAMING]

Sandra needs to chill and go camping and get eaten by a bear. How dare she deprive an animal of food!

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

the world is, unfortunately, full of Sandras (or is it Karens?) that seem to think they know best and everyone needs to do it their way. And if you don't, God help you, they'll do their best to make you miserable. Do what makes you happy, people!

[@Rtb323]

Sandra sounds like a Boomer lol

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

I watch the Korean campers most are women and the eat more than I do and they are tiny. They are very entertaining and I watch them weekly like Matt Pussa And of course outdoor gear rview

[@tinydancer7426]

Please stop bashing boomers. In doing so, you are just as unfair to a generation as Sandra is/was in her comments to her intended target.

[@MuirWoods111]

I LOVE THE RAIN! Which means your vlogs are my favorite! But, this one is wonderful! Blessings.

[@sherrynordan9821]

Your rain trips are my favorites. I’m so glad you love the rain like I do! Watching your videos takes me right where I love being, in the rain. I love the rain so much, I’m not too happy with too many sun shining days in a row. I think maybe I could live in a rain forest and be happy with all the rain. I miss Susie along with you. Your radiance and respect of love for her shines so bright. And that is a wonderful thing to see, and how she treats you back makes for nice trips all the way around from beginning to end!

[@maryannanderson2213]

I love the sound of that rain falling on the canvas of the tent. I think I could sleep for HOURS with that sound.

[@bellalogan414]

I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your channel. I needed to make a memorial trip to Death Valley for my brother and all of your advice and gear reviews made it a safe and enjoyable trip for me. I had not camped since childhood and am not an outdoorsy person (plus i'm old lol). Your channel gave me the knowledge and courage (went solo) to make this trip. I'm very grateful.

[@christinae30]

💖🤗

[@garysheren9353]

Luke you always give a fair review on the gear . I could only give it about 24 hrs in the rain with out no electronics to watch a move to brake up the boredom . I got the chair but how do you keep it from sinking in or the cot . Ha I truly enjoy your videos be safe .

[@motherofone1]

There is a Korean family who goes "glamping" a lot (RYU Camp). I love them....They practically bring along an entire house. The camping spots are almost like spas. They have toilet, laundry, and in some cases, shower facilities. They also camp on ready-made platforms. A viewer asked why and the response was because the public demands it....And yes, incredible meals...Amazing to watch, but they rarely discuss the equipment they use.

[@Catlovers52]

The way the water just rolls off the tent roof is very hypnotic.

Rolls of the tent like water on a duck's back. 😁

It finally rained here, after 2 weeks of triple digits. It was glorious. I just sat on my porch and listened

[@michellesnare9313]

Haters gonna hate Luke!! We love your videos!!! Keep up the great work!

[@lizcaporicci8483]

Hello Luke! These Japanese campers that you are referring to have come through my feed, and you are correct. They do it in such style, just amazing. The food is certainly not what we are used to. It is elaborate, in abundance and eaten with chop sticks. All their equipment appears quite expensive, as well. Nevertheless, I still appreciate and love what you are doing and love Lone Wolf Mountain. Thank you. Greetings from Ontario.

[@darmasuyoga7954]

You should try Korean camping .... They use huge tent and their camping ground is flood proof 😁

[@annieratcliff5740]

Watching your videos are very calming I love rain, lightning and thunder. I'm 73 and a rain baby. Since I lost my daughter you and sweet Susie have been great for my depression, stress and anxiety. Thank you guys and God bless you for coming into my life. ♥️🙏🏽

[@niklashall5969]

Really appreciate how you always do a translation from the Fahrenheit into Celsius on the screen that helps immensely! Thank you Luke

[@marychang7863]

I enjoy watching your videos, love to see Susie when you guy's are together...she's a trooper whe she goes by her self..thank you for sharing

[@magnuslindgren9460]

That Japanese experience is exactly how me and a friend of mine spend our time camping. A fair bit of luxury, a lot of forest bathing, relaxing, a lot of good food, books to read and so on. Live in Sweden but travels to Norway.

[@marywalker2896]

I watch you just because at 72 years old it gives me pleasure. To enjoy your channel and remember times I went camping with my husband so many times. There were times we went camping without a tent just sleeping bags and the night sky as our roof. Such fun times.

[@karrenhenderson2976]

Love your show Luke you and susie have got me through some long days and nights, had 3 major surgeries this year so been stuck in bed a lot and found your Chanel , thank you for all the great videos. Love and respect to you and susie from 🇬🇧

[@EmmyLouWells74]

They got me through lockdown 😃

[@johnsmith-iu1dv]

Well the best thing about rain is that it cools everything down, it gives you something to drink, and it gets rid of most of the bugs. So there's definitely a lot more perks than disadvantages

[@SuperDebs09]

Wetter than an Otters Pocket as we say in the UK 🇬🇧 😉 Another relaxing video, super levels of rain but the tent performed really well, I'm impressed by it. Take Care x

[@mikeburkhalter1130]

Luke, this is an awesome adventure! I personally thank you for your inspiration! I truly appreciate your candor and truthfulness and have been watching your videos religiously for over a year. It inspired me to start doing some little videos. You and Susie are amazing! Thanks again.

[@nyokasmith6611]

I really like your videos..... being 78 I don't camp anymore, but when I and hubby were younger we loved camping with our two sons..... I enjoy watching you set up your area and all the great equipment that you have... we do " camp " sometimes when we have a hurricane come through and we lose power for days.... being a family of campers we make do with our outdoor camping equipment..... thanks for sharing your adventures with us !!!

[@leroyjenkins8910]

I like the spaciousness of the tent but I like one that closes with me inside.

Greetings from Miami Fl. I'm enjoying the sound of the rain falling on the tent. Something about rain relaxes me. I'm laying on the couch, under the covers loving it. Thanks for bringing your adventures to my living room. Be safe.

[@stevedaniel3011]

We camp in our Cargo Camper. When it rains it's like being under a tin roof in a barn. I love it. I sleep 10 hours a night when we camp.

[@numbers22_28]

I like that thing. i can see putting a tent under one side and have a nice base camp. Roll out of the car and set up.

[@yvonnelimpus463]

You are one of the most down to earth and positive people that I have seen on a show. Pity for misguided people and their tunnel vision. Luckily we are not responsible for what others think and do.

[@markrossnagel4680]

I do love a good rain in the NC mountains and the smell of the wet woods calms me. Winter storm warning for you as I watch this. I grew up camping in canvas tents, yes I am old (er) and the new lighter materials are great. Rule #1 while sleeping in a canvas tent during a rain, Do not, I mean do not, no matter how tempting it seems, reach up and tough the canvas. You will have a constant drip right where you touched and that is usually right above your head. Thanks for bringing me along to relive the sounds of the rain in the trees and imagining the smells. The sounds of the crows in the morning stirs memories. I love that the skeeters are not a problem there. Every time I come out that way in the summer I always think that at home I would have been carried away and donated all my blood by sundown. To address your hatchet usage, Your stump was at knee level which is ideal for hatchet use. Plus, if it is at your knee level. it's the same as if you were kneeling. Before people comment on something you are doing, they need to do it themselves and not glean all their info from youtube. Such as anything you do, I would not comment on it unless I had actually done it myself. Mmmmm, Cowboy coffee! Little cool water to calm down the grounds and enjoy. Stay safe and God bless.

[@joannbowers3180]

LOVE watching your video's! Not only is it enjoyable to see where you go camping, but you also offer such interesting information. Love the video's with Susie, too! For health reasons, I can no longer do things like camping, so it is a real pleasure to live, vicariously, through your KZbin camping expeditions! Keep it up and thank you!

[@laurareck4149]

Love the rain camps. Most people think I am crazy to camp in weather. Sunny and calm bores me !! Ty so much !! I have learned so much !!!!

[@nomadzatara]

Awesome adventure. This was one of my favorites in a long time. The weather was amazing and that tent was awesome with the water protection. Would love to see that come back in another video. I'd be interested to see if one of DOD's smaller tents are just as waterproof! Always look forward to Thursday so I can watch that weeks adventure. Thanks for all the hard work. Cheers!

[@numbers22_28]

Luke. We used to go backpacking (many section hikes on the AT and other places) or, we went "Cadillac Camping". Cadillac Camping is what we called car camping. We would take everything, pour out of the car, walk 10 feet and set up. We (2-3 families) would put up 8-10 person tents near Lake Lanier or Lake Hartwell in Georgia and just eat and play cards. We would set up like 3 or 4 huge tarps and we could walk from one tent to another and the cooking area and never get wet. I'm 64 now and more likely to do a combination of the two. I go out usually alone and set up a base camp with more minimal gear and then take some hikes and explore an area. Have not backpacked in years now, though I may some time. Will see.

[@lindawilson4625]

I've seen those Japanese camping trips you talked about. They would use that big open tent by putting a van with the side slide doors open at each end using the van as the sleeping/private quarters with the center of the tent for the communal cooking, etc. Laying down rugs in the center just like you mentioned. A different style of camping than most of us do, but they seem to have fun. Elaborate, but not fussy. Kind of a reconnection to friends and family with a spiritual vibe. Love your beautiful Wolf Mountain :-)

[@williamdurham7722]

This video was so relaxing...yeah the info was good , but the soothing sound of the rain actually lulled me to sleep a couple of times so that I had to adjust the progression bar to see the content...When I finally completed it I started it over and just took a nap !

[@marcomcdowell8861]

The only guy I know that can make going up the driveway look like an adventure! I'm in Japan now and they do love their glamping. It's pretty impressive the setups that they have.

[@capman911]

I watch one particular Japanese camping channel called YOYO Camping. And like you said she goes all out with the full tents, cooking stoves, tables, eating all day drinking to relax has a pop-up camper on her car, and has her car set up for a luxurious sleep and eat in case it's raining too hard. I love the way she camps so laid back and relaxing.

The wild weather is the start of the end days talked about in the Bible but keep ⛺️ camping as long as the LORD allows .

I also go to sleep listening to a blizzard cabin camping setting .I’ll get back to watching ya in the ☔️ rain , thanks for sharing your outdoor fun , I can’t really go outdoors much myself right now . your camping friend , Betty , ps.

I know you have a day job. And that you love being outside and have been doing outdoor overnights since you were a kid. I have a like but also fear of storms. your enjoyment of being outdoors in an open tent or under a tarp when it's thundering and storming is kind of beyond me. I'm glad you have the truck there to take additional shelter if needed. Take care of yourself. Glad you back has improved. Say Hi to Susie and HUGS
