Attacked by an Ice Storm with the Strongest Winds In Years - Cold Weather Camp

[@connie7128]

Not to sound cheesy, but for the past year, I've been exploring the outdoors through your channel. I have been recovering from a serious accident, so I've been homebound. I miss hiking and camping and going on adventures. For me, watching your videos lifts my spirits while I recover. One more surgery to go, and I hope to get back out there myself! Thank you for being here, my friend.

Luke, when you get home you need to give your wife a huge hug and tell her you love her. Any woman who would watch her man go off into the wilds right into the teeth of very dangerous, ferocious weather conditions without complaining is a real strong Lady with a real big heart. Glad you survived it Brother!!!

It was totally the fairy lights. Unironically has become a staple item in "comfy campsite" kits. Lightweight, compress-packable, lasts a decent amount of time and solar-chargable. And just so aesthetically pleasing...

This situation is one of those that if you were a truck camper, you wouldn't have to worry about the winds. You would ALREADY be in your truck topper in your nice cozy bed.

This is my kind of camping. I take a backpacking cot with me because its the only way ive found to actually get some sleep outdoors. Loved it! One for the gear junkies

So worth the weight, for me, and I can take as many breaks as I need when hiking in and out. Took a good while to come up with a combo that worked though.

[@marionnatale8230]

Luke, I absolutely LOVE the magnificent sound of “WIND!” 🙏❤️

[@tinydancer7426]

Yeah, wind is cool to listen to .... especially the harmonics that come out of a good gust of wind blowing through and around the pipe frame for my awning. I may be getting some from my next door (townhouses) neighbor's awning frame too. First time it happened I thought it was my gutter doing it (ya know, like coming loose) but I had it inspected by the installer and it is tight to the house .... so it's gotta be the awning frames. It really gets to howling when we have a good storm with high winds.

[@discojelly]

Dude I don't know why but these brutal weather episodes with ice and everything are my favorites!

[@joette8510]

I love watching your videos, it’s the closest I’ll ever get to exploring the beautiful, but sometimes harsh landscape. With that said, I’d never in a million years have the courage to do what you do. I find myself worrying about the danger of situations like that and glad I’m in the comfort of my home watching! You take your audience on a journey and make us feel like we’re there with you. Great job! 👍

[@SindyJ37]

You could do it!! Check out some of Susie's solo adventures...i used to think i couldn't do it either but seeing Susie in action gave me the courage to give it a try this past fall and it was very therapeutic to go solo camping and i can't wait to do it again

[@bobfrantz534]

What dangers are u speaking of..just wondering

[@SindyJ37]

Luke and Susie i appreciate your videos. The lone wolf adventures you each take have given me the courage to go camp alone. Seeing Susie camping on her own made me realize that i can do so too and it brought me much peace and joy

I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you. I have set up my SUV with gear for camping and in case of emergencies. A few years ago, Texas had the winter storm and thanks to you, I was prepared.

[@craigmooring2091]

All right! A North Carolina ice storm! We had one of those about this time of year when I was in basic training at Ft. Bragg. Shut all training down. You could have ice skated to the mess hall. Every long needle on those southern pines was encased by about an 8th of an inch thick coat of ice. Backlit by the full moon, they sparkled like Christmas trees.

I am loving how you love what you are doing consistently. Its amazing

[@mamakotterkey8782]

May I make a suggestion? When the wind is blowing as it was on your hike out and back to the truck, have you ever thought of using a clear pair of safety glasses? That way the wind won't whip around your eyes and possibly cause problems. Thank you for taking us along with you on these camping trips. I'm almost 72 and have always had problems with my knees, so I don't go camping, but I enjoy your videos very much. Have a great week.

Luke👍👍💪 Horrendous weather camp, good go. Those winds remind me of my territory, only I've got no mountains or trees, no wind breaks, just flat land, grass and weeds. I can deal with most weather but wind is the one thing that ruins outdoor activity for me. Glad the tent/tarps setup worked and no surface winds. Thanks for the exhausting work bringing us along, well done. Bet you were beat after this one, rest up and we'll see you next time.

[@FrednDeeDee]

Thank Goodness you came through that icy cold wind. I once had a $39 tent get ripped to shreds in 5 minutes by winds. I thanked the Lord that I was tented beside my truck. It could have been a life saver for me. I was dressed for the cold and rain, but the cab of the truck was the best shelter around.

[@Jamiescottsmith]

That was awesome!!! I’ve been in similar situations. I woke up with my dog on the trail to 60 mile an hour winds , intense rainfall, thunder and lightning. We packed up and had about 5 miles to the trailhead, trees falling all around, my dog kept stopping out of fear; couldn’t see 10 feet in front of me. The next day a tornado hit that trail so hard it was closed for almost two years. **side note - I always leave super comfy cotton clothes to change into when I get back to my Jeep, makes the long road home fantastic

[@bonjovi2757]

I like seeing you make camp and how you set things up. But, what I would really be interested in is seeing you break camp in the nasty weather and pack everything so well in your pack again. It appeared that everything you brought was factory fresh packed in their cases. We all know nothing goes back in the case as well as it came out. Add in cold hands, wind, rain and fatigue and it can be a real challenge just to get everything back in the pack. And the pack usually ends up looking like walnuts stuffed into socks. I would love to see your technique and how you make the magic trick of getting everything back in the pack in miserable weather conditions.
