Crazy Storm Under a Tarp Fortress - Overnight Adventure

[@relixmeme]

I may be late commenting on this video and maybe no one will see this comment, but I come here every morning and every day because of my depression. This soothing music helped me a lot. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me get through the tough times.

[@lizz5235]

I saw your comment - and I come here only now and again, but your depression will abate because you are making the effort and want to come out the other side. I thoroughly enjoyed this video because I am not a camping person; but his evident enjoyment communicates to everyone. Keep strong, stay peaceful and 'drink the coffee' lol

[@MsRotorwings]

You are not alone in your depression. I find watching outdoor videos to be therapeutic. Luke & Susie touch more people than they probably know. I’m so appreciative. Thanks for sharing.

[@kiwi_comanche]

Keep your head up mate. One day at a time. You got this.

[@EllenBarnes-o5f]

I suffer too, I find these videos therapeutic and informative, I thank you like from my heart.

[@ColinGermaine1]

I think we all get there these days, Luke's videos are good uplift. Keep your head up and stay strong. Things will get better

[@Doc-Holliday1776]

Dose anyone else put his videos on to help fall asleep?

[@ColinGermaine1]

I tried a few times but always get caught up in it and my mind starts going a mile a minute of trips I have coming up.

[@TeamMaroonAdventures]

Luke and his wife Susie have answered every question that I have ever asked. That tells you what kind of people they are. Thank you both for everything you do!

[@m.c.lawrence7333]

Living vicariously through Luke lol.

[@erichillerich2413]

Luke, I'm so at ease listening to you talk about how easy we have it, compared to 100 years ago. Working with the earth to survive has gone extinct over the last couple of generations.

[@mawmawvee]

I love your rainy videos the best! I've always loved to go out onto our covered patio, or carport and watch rain.

[@jordyjakequeen8404]

I havnt seem rain like that since i was in africa ,Nigeria and Ghana they thought i was nuts to run and sit and watch , sadly uk has piddly amounts lol

[@mawmawvee]

@@jordyjakequeen8404 I live in Southwest Louisiana and we can have some torrential rainstorms. I don't like to hear there are hail and tornado watches, plus we get hurricanes and tropical storms. I don't like to be out in those heavy rains, though. To stay dry in a heavy rainstorm, one would have to be covered in plastic from head to toe. It started to pour down when I was leaving work, once, so I went back inside and fashioned a full-body rain suit by putting two eye-holes in a huge plastic bag, put it on and got home without getting soaked. I wondered what people would think, if they had seen me wearing that huge, black plastic bag. LOL! 😂

[@peterjolly5655]

Take this tent back.... Brilliant amount of rain....

[@joakimjohansson6863]

Scandinavian here, return that tent asap, imagine to be in the Swedish/Norwegian mountains with that garbage and you would get hypothermia asap, love the videos!

Hi Luke, I'm not a camping kind a guy but after watching your channel I'm got attached to the adventures and now I'm collecting all the camping stuff and survival kits just to start my strength and honor journey, thanks for the wonderful video Sir, strength and honor is the best thing from you

[@jordyjakequeen8404]

Aww thats kind of beautiful good luck xx

[@Ramnokri]

But start it out slowly. Don’t start with storm camping. Without experience it can be very dangerous. Start with dry weather then maybe some rain camping

[@MsRotorwings]

I agree with Luke. AquaQuest makes excellent tarps. I’ve used my 10x10 Safari for shade or cover in a thunderstorm. Camping at campgrounds is a good way to start. I like checking out other peoples gear and test out my own. And I’m close to my vehicle should I need it. My Big Agnes Copper Spur 2 person tent has great ventilation and has remained waterproof in several storms. Good luck in your adventures.

[@gregsalerno1434]

You go !!👍👌😁

[@CherokezPittman]

Thank you for your kind words! It's great to see that Luke's videos have inspired you to start your own camping journey. I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series for outdoor enthusiasts like yourself. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof design, it's perfect for powering your devices during your adventures. Stay strong and enjoy your outdoor endeavors!

That was a great video! And I want to say how much I appreciated that 2 - 3 minutes of just the sound of the rain - very relaxing!

Great video! Keep the tent! Seam seal it. Use in good weather, under tarps, etc! It's unique. It's got some great features. It'll be a worthwhile tent to have in the back of a vehicle. I don't think you'll regret it. It'll be in the Kitty and Huff (?) museum someday....way someday lol Can't wait to see your next big adventure! Always watching from Phoenix 🏜️❤

[@12BlockTokie]

I'm with you 💯% on all points.

[@RVingwithLuck]

By the time you get done seam sealing it, you could have gotten a better tent from the start. Why fix a turd?

To everyone who reads this: Everything is good in this very moment. Think about that. In this second, there is nothing to worry or think about. It's the perfect time to relax and enjoy how comfortable your bed is. 😊

Love your channel nice to see a young gentleman on KZbin. You are very knowledgeable and your vids are excellent. I am a 72 yr old marine Nam vet who also spent 30 yrs on the st louis police dept. Just recenly bought 35 acres of woods in se Missouri and loving it . We have a pole barn and very small cabins with a well andvslectric to the barn but never to the cabins they will remain either campfire or stove heating and cooking. I just love to go there and just explore or just sit on my rear and do nothing except appreciate there quiet and scary noises and movement at night . It reminds me of being in the jungle many years ago. Keep up the good work GOD BLESS YOUAND YOURS

Is it me or can anyone else relate that it feels like we're their with Luke camping. Idk but every time i watch this channel i feel like I'm there chilling also.

[@gunterbecker8528]

Likewise brother 😊

[@shawniehoward]

Yes, I feel the same way. I watch at night.

[@maxsparks5183]

Nope. Haven’t expierenced that yet. Part of it may be that I do not and would not ever camp if it’s not cold outside. I don’t get the point of laying out in the woods fighting mosquitos and sweating all night. My rule is if it’s green outside, I’m not going.

[@MrHomerhickson]

Return the tent! By the way, I live in Knoxville tn and was in Johnson city not far from Bristol TN the same weekend you did this video! You showed the tornado warnings near Knoxville. I remember checking with my adult son as the storms moved through Knoxville. He loves camping and gear. So I sent him this video link to watch you. I told him how good you were at reviewing equipment and how much I think he would love your videos. My favorites are the downpour rain, storms, and blizzard videos!

Please do not change. Alot of us are not rich. We watch you so we can get true value for our money. The more you pay seems to not have a relation to what is good. You are honest and a great friend to the people that are trying to go smart.

[@madhacker7]

I have a gazelle T8 and it has been an absolute fortress. We never get any bugs in it and it and it breaths well enough through all it's windows. It has withstood 40+ mph winds and rain and held up like a champ. No leaks no problem. It is important to guy out the sidewalls. It's held up to snow and hail too no problem.

[@larryfisher7056]

I have used the Gazelle T3X extensively ( about 45 nights). No bugs and very snug shelter in weather. The orange color of this Poler tent would be horrendous in more northern areas where it never gets dark in the summer. It would be like trying to sleep in a light bulb. No thanks.

[@gnjkimble]

Saw this video and were surprised to hear you mention the puzzle. We weren't even sure that you would have time to put it together because of your busy lives. We're glad you're enjoying it, though. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in Hawaii (and hopefully in Japan, too). Keep up the great reviews! Gene & Joyce.

You filmed fireflys. That's pretty good. The rain pooling up on the tarp. You are an artist. The tent leaked, a little, but you didn't float away. Camping is supposed to be a LITTLE rough. But, just for fun, you should keep it and do an awful rain test just for fun.

Hey there! As an e-bike user who loves outdoor exploration, I stumbled upon your video about freebeat's new product, the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. I must say, I'm impressed by the outstanding features this e-bike offers. The ability to charge the bike in indoor mode is a game-changer! The brushless 750W motor, 80Nm torque, and top speed of 20mph sound exhilarating. The 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires ensure a smooth ride in any terrain, while the IPX5 Waterproof finish makes it perfect for any weather. The Smart Saddle Detection+ feature and the conversion of indoor calories into CO2-free miles truly showcase the unique blend of fitness and technology. I'm excited to support this crowdfunding project and can't wait to experience the limitless freedom it offers! Keep up the great work!

Luke … Outstanding video!!! Love your music and can’t wait to see the trail can videos!!! Send the tent back with a letter describing its initial faults … and make them aware these were initial observations and faults … and not an in depth review! See what they say and then let us know. That’s what I would do. Finally, I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with how you and Susie so complement one another; you are two very lucky people to have each other!!! Until your next video, take care, be safe, best wishes and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨‍🌾✝️🙏🖖👍🏼

No reason to test it in the rain if it leaked like that under a tarp. Unless you want to see just how much water it will collect! Love your videos! You my friend ROCK!!

[@tomscorner3656]

Whats wrong with your tarp that it lets water through. Spray Campdry from Walmart with stop all that. Spray the whole tarp.

[@arnoldseay9118]

If it were me I would just send the tent back. It was expensive but cheaply made. There are other tents on the market that are better. It’s not worth further testing. Excited about your trip to Japan. I lived there for a year and half. Love Japan. I have been back a couple times. Camping there will be different. All I ever saw were private campgrounds but the beauty of Mt Fuji is worth it. Japan is a beautiful country.

18:58 Did Luke just do a step 2??🤣 Loving the tent despite the horrid color...looks great for Spring and Summer. I mean forget the leaks, it's a car camping tent anyway, only take it out in dry conditions and IF you get a surprise rain, just retreat to the truck. The thing looks top notch for ventilation, no condensation and being bug proof.
