Heavy Rain and Powerful Winds in a Tarp Fortress - Overnight Camp Adventure

[@MrSupertim996]

I appreciate your videos. I needed a break from what’s going on in the world and where we’re possibly headed. Stay strong.

[@scotbotvideos]

Hope you're a prepper, too. Videos like this are a good escape, but they're also training. That's how they are for me.

[@gregsalerno1434]

Very accurate statement !!👍

[@LETSGETUTILIZED316]

Focus on eternal matters first and foremost because this isn't forever. Read Ecclesiastes. May Jesus be with you my friend

[@dezhatton7859]

Absolutely agree ,we need Luke's channel to take our minds off everything that is going on ,horrific

[@ACDC5150]

I was going to write the same comment, the way im feeling too

[@michaelsarkisian1047]

I hope we do meet up at a camp site. I love the rain in the woods. I did my last 5 years in the Navy as a SERE Instructor in northern Maine. Our training facility was 13,000 acres of wilderness, and they paid me to be there. it don't get much better than that.

[@JanStewart590]

I'll look forward to seeing your winter videos. I don't know how you do these trips sometimes because of the weather - in this case the wind is a big factor, but we know you have the expertise to do it and do it right. These videos continue to be enjoyable, relaxing and so informative, keep them coming Luke! I'll look forward to Susie's solo adventure too! Thanks for all the great camera angles you do for us!

[@forestadventureswithscott8777]

I’ve camped in that spot several times over the years. I always spent the first 30 mins cleaning up other people’s garbage. I went up there a few weeks ago and the gate was up. I found another spot and enjoyed it but made a note to adjust my gear for the next trip because it is such a special location.

[@craighoeme4845]

Your adventure videos put my mind in the mountains when I can't personally get there, thank you. Keep up the good work Luke .

[@conniegheer576]

For my birthday this year, my daughter and I planned a camping trip to a campground about an hour away. I couldn't make things go to plan to save my life that day. Finally leaving an hour and a half behind schedule, we made one stop in the next town over, and when we got back in the car, it wouldn't start. Long story short, the car had to be towed back home, and since we have a nice sized yard on the edge of our small town, I decided I was camping no matter what. We pitched the tent in a sheltered part of the yard. As we cooked dinner over our fire pit, we watched the darkest clouds roll in. We were sitting under the canopy shelter that I set up over the table, when I got a bad feeling, so my daughter and I stepped into the garage just as the 50 mile an hour wind gusts hit, bringing along the quarter sized hail, driving rain and small branches. Everything was soaked, except inside the tent. I don't know how that rain stayed out of there, being a cheapy $60 (it was on sale and they always leak) 6 man tent! So if we ever run into each other at a campground...we'll just watch the rain over a cup of campfire coffee 😆

[@goldenessence3]

Can’t wait for the winter adventures!!!

[@zafiradaima]

Luke, thanks for the adventure! That's a beautiful spot, I'm glad it's closed off to vehicular traffic so it won't be destroyed. You're so funny, you have a black cloud over your head and you enjoy it! I enjoyed your story of you and Susie in FL.

[@beacee]

Love it ! Fall and Winter camping videos are my favorites.

Keep the storm adventures coming. I love them. Thank you 🍻

[@cwam1701e]

Hey Luke, your videos are so enjoyable it is easy to forget how hard they must be to record, given that it is only you there. You have no -one with you to work the camera and yet we get all these different angles and shots of the same thing that make your videos so interesting to watch, but they must be an absolute pain to do; we appreciate it!

[@hollyhock1197]

Enjoy your rainy windy videos out in nature. And your ability to test your outdoor gear. Thank you for taking us out with you.

[@fireartist169]

I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and it's gotten me hyped to camp this year. As far as Ppeak Refuel I've only had the biscuits and gravy so far but it was really good, i highly recommended it

[@frankveronese1290]

I do not know how many of your episodes I have seen, I am still impressed how much you can carry in the backpack!

[@siKnowleschannel69]

Love the adventures, luke.

[@carolwelcome2882]

Thank you Luke. Your videos are indeed a blessing to many

[@roseshafer258]

Luke, I appreciate everything you do to make these incredible videos for us. You have talent. I am glad you and Susie had such a good time despite the rain. Stay strong be happy!

[@soniayoung7531]

Hello Luke, the sound of the rain on the tent so tranquil, the critter couldn't resist the smell of the food lol,very foggy and windy thanks for sharing stay safe

[@justinreynaud1598]

I am in no way a camper, but i love watching your videos. nice way to unwind and relax at night time. thanks for your videos, Luke!

[@marktaylor8659]

Luke - I've been watching your adventure videos for several years now and I must say I am always so impressed by the organization of your equipment and your ability to get it all in one backpack. So cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffytanner4650]

I've been watching you on your camping trips for along time I like the way you camp use to love camping when I was younger but I don't get to do much anymore keep it up. At🎉lest I can enjoy watching you do it, keep it up.

[@ethanmitchell282]

Just became a member of your channel I am watching all the way from London, England. Love you channel. You make camping and hiking an excitable experience and your knowledge is something that rookies can learn from. Love your channel.

[@iduswelton9567]

Its another night that i can't sleep - so watching u helps me relax - Thank u Luke

[@bernielamont825]

Thanks Luke, been following your channel for several years now. You've gotten me confident enough to do some late season camping, i.e. how to stay warm, how to block or divert the wind. In fact I'm going out next week where you would be in heaven, rain 3 of the 4 days. Just hope I remember enough to stay dry.

[@shadowof1155]

Talking about winter wind, back in January of 2019 here in Missouri we had two rounds of blizzards dropping between 16 and 20 inches of snow each less than a week apart, so I decided to build a snow fort between three trees that were growing close together. Since the snow was wet snow it packed beautifully, got the walls built up to about 6 foot or so with a tarp on top and one covering the door and man did it warm up quick inside it. Love making igloos and snow forts when I can, giving mother nature drops snow... it's hard work but having your own little get away for at least a week or two before it melts is so nice, and with snow deafening the sounds of nature the quiet in the evenings and early mornings is just breath taking, and if you get a good view of the sun rise and sunset it's just even more amazing ❤

[@jeffnapoliello]

Thanks!

[@johnstevenson9429]

Luke great video as usual. I can't believe you took the time to set up those passing shots as you were leaving in that weather. You sir are a steely eyed missile man! Well done!

[@vic2265]

Not a fan of gates in areas like that for a few reasons. In my experience I have seen gates go up and destruction become worse. They will now use 4 wheeler's and off road vehicles and figure a way around or they just clear the area on either side and drive around it. I have witnessed areas where this has occurred. I prefer better patrolling by the authority for the area and run off the problems and charge those that would cause damage. That area is now inaccessible to those with a disability that would use a vehicle to gain access and that's not fair either. I am one of those as a disabled Marine that enjoys the outdoors and hate to see areas closed off for these reasons. Great video Luke and keep em coming! I have watched and used your reviews for many years now. Outstanding Job!

[@crucialharpy101]

Great video Luke. I love the scenery with the wind and rain. I also love the fact that you can set up tarps to keep yourself protected from the elements. Thank you for sharing.🙂🥰👍

[@iamgroot8631]

Rewatching an older video, love the rain videos

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

That music at the end is moving...spiritual

[@NovaScotiaSouthShore]

Love your videos Luke. Great way to spend a Thursday night. Thanks for taking me along.

[@visnuexe]

I love the rain and fog too! Heavy wind that breaks branches is one concern, even less than a chance of lightning strike. Smart move to carry that extra tarp! Love your video still scenes!

[@carmenvazquez512]

I love the cold the rain the snow the wind and huracanes im 68 and those for me are like the dayly bread and theres no way for me to stan outside on a hot day so imagine this videos help me with my mind is like terapy thanks. May God keep you safe and healthy 24/7 and all your loves ones

[@Shokwave8]

Absolutely love it!! Thank you so much for the nice video. Just the perfect way to calm down and enjoy a cup of coffee after a hard days work.

[@morganashleyroll3805]

Hey Luke. I just became a patreon of yours. I also just purchased a few items. The stove, the fireplace and light rope. I went ahead and ordered a solar powered charger. Wish me luck. ✌️ ❤ and 😊 always. . .

[@lynbigmore1597]

Another quality vlog Luke, that said they are all high-quality entertainment and really well delivered. Thanks, Luke

[@andreamaestas3829]

Keep them coming. NEVER boring!!!

[@kathrynmackenzie1608]

All the way from New Zealand, I love your content Luke, It is good for the soul. Informative, beautifully filmed, calming and inspiring. Thanks for every thing👌

[@Trekkyygirl]

I really enjoy your adventures. I’m in Western Australia, and camping was always my childhood fun. Now I’m old, I can still go camping vicariously through you :)

[@rickwendell3211]

Luke, I get what you mean about the fog. It gives a whole different mood. I like freezing fog. The fog floats through the air and whatever it hits will freeze into a very cool looking frost. Another homerun on the video!

[@Romansnana]

I amazed Luke can get all that gear in his backpack every single time. He must be a expert organizer

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi Luke!: Another QUALITY adventure! Those stoves are a HOOT! Got one yesterday for a smoking deal and it came with a folding metal windscreen. Also packaged in the box was a cleaning towel and a couple of what look like dry bags, small ones, but neat anyway! The stove burns nicely on the isobutane, but is a BEAST if you use the propane adapter!

[@claudieC.]

I love the fog and rain. That air must be so fresh and cool.

[@siddascott]

That hum was interesting. I’ve camped a lot in bad weather and I think I’ve only heard that around man made structures. Mother nature is full of strange beauty! You’re an awesome guy - keep it up!

[@justnicky17]

Luke! So glad you got the package! Sorry for the lateness! Lol. Hopefully you have use for the stuff. Stay safe! 💙

[@microRiZu]

I've been watching you since i discovered your videos since 2020 i think.. it makes me happy how involved with us viewers you are. love your editing style as well. feels good to see someone living life a better one!

[@vedranantunovic9131]

I have to respect just how much you actualy look after your gear. You even use a groundsheath for your folding chair and table. I have never seen anyone use a groundsheath for that but I imagine it saves a lot of work when you get home because everything stays clean.

[@PAHAwareness]

Hey Luke my friend. Awesome as always. Thanks man for doing what you do. You guys must be getting hit pretty hard right now with the rain. Be safe you guys . S&H RESPECT, Grant

[@zjackal]

Seeing your videos makes me wish i was young again. Your cool luke.🙂

[@annenamishia9902]

Hey Luke. You are really a fantastic person. You like to protect the future of our beautiful country. It really upsets me when I see people destroy land that doesn’t belong to them. I speak my mind when someone does wrong and it makes me feel good that others do the same. That’s why I love watching your videos.

[@vickiehamilton6596]

Thank you for giving me.a moment of peace i have agrandson waiting on orders no family wants to hear. Prayers for all militarys safe keeping

[@pattycool8592]

I purchased the exact stove and was very pleased. Just had coffee on it Wednesday while I was out fishing!

[@architectkhalid11]

Luke is my favorite adventurer.

[@sanjlakhanpal5017]

Out of all the you tube vids i could watch after a hard night and day, i choose to chill with you every time bruv, even if it is a gear review.

[@everettamador9870]

hope you had a good time Luke!

[@wildbrigante9596]

Brilliant foggy adventure!

[@MsLittlemommy]

I Love that Tent..

[@veraboyd1555]

Hi, I really enjoyed this video and thank you. I have never gone camping until now on your videos. Too old to try it on my own so please keep up the amazing work. Being a female I can't do it. Love the stories you tell about you and your wife. May God continue to bless you both.❤❤

[@Winchester067]

I normally "like" these videos before I watch them because I know they're going to be good either way 👍

[@kurtjensen7264]

I have that exact same stove. And I used it when I was camping-Glamping lol. I made coffee in a snap. And I made breakfast. It’s great can’t say enough.

[@nunezski54]

Liking the new edit choices 👌🏻

[@davidcaddell2811]

Thanks Luke. very refreshing I need more time to get out there

[@_G_R_]

I have a similar stove. Only in cube shape and with one side for loading. This is my first year using it. Almost completely replaced my gas burner. Of course, there are disadvantages, such as smoked dishes and slightly lower (and not always constant) effective heat output. But it works on garbage - the smallest twigs from the ground, pine cones, dry grass, pine needles. It turns out that you always have a fire near which you can warm up, even if there is no firewood at all. And I also really like that after it the soil does not suffer as much as from a bonfire

[@annettemalaski1967]

I enjoyed this video! We often get more of a life thrill from the almosts than when everything goes smoothly!

[@davidrife6191]

As a hunter I use onX hunt. This app has great details that can be used for hiking as well. Living in Montana two other things I pack out with me is a can of Bear Spray as well as a side arm. I am in heavy duty bear country, and if that spray is not enough I’m not taking chances. I also like to carry solar lights with motion detection built in. At night it’s nice to know when a big visitor strolls in. I mostly mountain hike and camp so often I prefer the Hammock tent system. It’s much easier in rough terrain.

[@caifan444]

Another great adventure thank you Luke looking forward to Susie solo Adventure

[@kathyfragassi8399]

Wow! Snow already. Let the adventures in the Hot Tent begin. ❄👍❄

[@rebel_infinity7326]

Awesome weather

[@terrym1065]

Luke👍👍 The tarp/tent set up is my favorite way to camp other than an RV, nothing like enjoying the wild from the comfort of a palace😉 Yeah, the wind is camping's scourge, if overly present it ruins every aspect of being out there. Thanks for enduring the rain and wind so I didn't have to, also the video trip, well done. See ya soon.

[@erinhenry9750]

Hello Mr easy on the eyes 😊 enjoy ur vids. Hope you and fam are well 💜❤from Michigan

[@bobmcelroy7289]

Awesome! Thank you, your photography skills are really an added value to your videos!

[@mmiadragonz]

Flipping the chair over technique is clever. I always take 2 extra tarps when camping for any weather issues

[@sheilabritton2189]

I watch your videos to rela and sleep... you remind me of my uncles...and dad

[@christophermontroy642]

Really cool video Dave

[@lindawoods6841]

I sure appreciate you,, I would be shivering.. That wind is extreme.. you and Susie are such an inspiration and always great advice..👍👍👍

[@ashleyj0]

I love watching these while snuggled up next to my space heater 😂 i'm an avid camper... but def a fair weather one. HATE being cold. Cold & wet is 100x worse. I only wish i could enjoy the colder months outdoors. I deeply envy that. Obvs, you know what you're doing & do it well. Thanks for letting us enjoy it with you!!

[@joemichaels4231]

Great adventure, sure looking forward to a new adventure from Susie and seeing that 4 season Nature Hike tent. ❤

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Thank you for your videos!

[@standingstonezseanroberts292]

been watching for over a year. and I enjoy some of the gear you review. I'm a guy who has taught backpacking, winter survival. Some sage advise from an old outdoorsman. Never camp alone and never hike alone. I have pulled so many hikers out and off the blue ridge who went alone. For winter - don't cut corners. I have used the North face Bastion 4 and the Alaskan guide series for four seasons. No need for a stove. The blueridge has ome great streams, instead of hiking significant water in. get some for a a nice 10 to 20 mile a day hike and invest with a water purifier and camp close to a good water source. Oh. watch out for widow makers under the pines.

[@AhmadZakiVision]

Watching this video from Melaka, Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺

[@harrisdail9939]

Camping time this weekend for sure. Think it is time to test out the new Hilleberg tent. Your videos set me on fire to hit the woods. So refreshing

Its always a great storm video from you and what a sloppy damp, cold lookinging evenning and morning . Look forward to an adventure from Suzy it's been a while . nice video Luke enjoyed as always. Ontario Canada

[@JohnnyR1_Rider]

Awesome vídeo! Hugs from Brazil!

[@dwaynebeavers2088]

Well Luke as you get older you will find that your body will hate the cold more and more and if you have any old injuries that arthritis has formed in them it makes those fronts coming in feel even more uncomfortable so hopefully you will be doing better with your hot tents you are going to be reviewing.

[@XenoZero82]

Lol omg the fact that you said it has "silent hill" feel made my day. I'm a huge SH fan. By the way I love your storm videos, I'm learning a lot from you

[@judyholliday2252]

Keep up the good videos At least you are getting rain. No rain in Arizona yet. 😎just sun

[@rebekahshook6754]

I love your videos and appreciate how the right and wrong . The stove can be approved like take steel in a box larger then the stove put legs on each side . It could keep the grass from burning. Just keep camping and videos those great places . God bless you

[@jimeckenrode1271]

I thought I would throw my two cents in so here it goes. I like that little stove you used. I feel most of them are unstable. I really like the two burner accordian you used a while back. all your video's are excellent I wish Susan would join you again.

[@josephlang1127]

I really like your camping adventure.I wish that I could be with you.

Thank you I love your videos and your Fotos are amazing sending love from Italy ❤

[@NadesikoRose]

Snicker, if we ever meet at a campsite Luke…I plan on being prepared for whatever follows you. I am taking notes and making lists as I watch your videos on what to do and not to do while camping… Not sure if I will get a passing mark though if we ever meet, but maybe you will be impressed at how my camp is set up.

[@jonhbaker1511]

Luke hey young man I've been a avid outdoors man hiking camping survival skills built my own log cabin in my early 30"s. Hunting fishing back packing. Since the early 70's. Love of mother nature my whole life just turned 56 in September and was just diagnosed with renal failure and will have to start dialysis probably within the next yr or sooner most likely. And now my family Dr. Is telling me that I' can no longer be out there like that alone anymore. It's just not safe for me to be alone out there but I'm most ALIVE out there.No where else. I' would rather die out there doing what I' was meant to be doing... and now my family since has been begging me to not stop BUT to not go back out Alone anymore and I'm just crushed NOW I ' can't just go ahead and continue to find myself or too test myself and utilize my skills learned over four decades on my own... and NOW I'm just so depressed 😔 it is definitely starting to change the Man I've always been effecting my family NOW as well. I've been watching u for many years now and u have always been a blessing for me...I' now NEED to ask you a big favor.. before I' just get to a point that I' want to just turn bitter.. I' must get back outdoors...so would you be willing to help make that happen. PLEASE 🙏 PLEASE CONTACT ME.. BACK ON here ... just 🤔 give it some thought and if you just can't find the time I' fully understand that.But right now I'm simply at a loss NOW and I'm miserable Luke. Thank you again for your time and all that you are doing for those fellow outdoors man, WOMEN that love Nature as well by giving us the best informative info on products and safety both.

[@sondrajohnson2564]

Hi, Luke! I have been watching your videos about 3 years and always enjoy them. I have wanted to ask you about something, a pattern you regularly follow. You find your camp spot. Set up the tarp. Then the tent, if used. A person can get hypothermia even in warmer times of the year if a cold rain falls with wind. But what do you do? You make coffee, or something to eat, so on. Then later about when you start thinking about a little warm fire, and it starts raining, you try to gather some dry wood! Some times you don't get the chance! Why don't you spend 10 to 15 minutes right away and get wood for an evening fire and a possibly needed emergency warmth one for later? You don't need a lot, but you seem to procrastinate, or feel not important. It's getting cold!!! Are you close enough to the cabin? Insight into this perplexing conundrum?😄

[@haveboldfaith]

I’ve wondered, as well; why he doesn’t gather the wood sooner. Great question!

[@dezhatton7859]

Rough condtions Luke ,just been for a hike here in Shropshire U.K. ,just like the weather conditions in your video,fantastic adventure again ,keep up the good work
