It is kinda like having your wife give you the nickname "The Hurricane"! You start out exciting and end in disaster! 🤣💥

[@Chrissy-Stormgal]

Lol Jeff Dunham quote 😂😂😂

[@WhoobieD]

I have a Stihl 250 in my garage that hasn't been ran in about a year. I paused your video, ran down to the garage and did exactly what you said and BAM....Fired right up!!!! AWESOME

[@sheblyne]

This Canadian girl loves a good storm. Give me thunder and lightening and lots of rain. Of course, couldn't be Canadian and not love a good blizzard too. Love heavy snow!

[@donnamiller8780]

Me too. As long as I'm hunkered down, like Steve, and not having to drive through it.

[@susantompkins8810]

I can't speak for others, but you are so right, it's a very primal feeling and the knowing in the grand scheme of things with Mother Nature, you are NOT in control, so yes you can feel in awe of her raw power, but also fear it's wrath. I learned this at a very young age walking home after an emergency release from school as a level 3 tornado beared down on the neighborhood. I will never forget being handed a large book atlas to protect my head as I hurried home with baseball sized hail raining down. Trees and large debris flew mostly on the opposite side of the road. Since my experience, I am a storm chasing enthusiast, but also absolutely have great respect for Mother Nature's furry for sure.

[@patirussell8353]

I live in Charleston, SC. Hugo washed my house away. It left me someone else's house on my property. I know that you will be safe, as you have taught us to be. I know that you will keep Lone Wolf Mountain safe. Keep the coffee coming tonight. Praying for you and your family. Honor and Strength to you.

[@faithrada]

I remember driving down I-95 just after the storm. It was staggering to take in all the damage. We could not even tell where we were since all the highway signed were down. Pretty sobering when you see it first hand. Hope all have power back ... hopefully this will at least help areas with drought.

[@TooTall_hikes]

I remember Hugo. Ripped threw our area and destroyed everything in its path

[@jordanb8578]

Was it at least a nicer house?

[@rbaileyrb]

I live in Europe and couldn't imagine such a thing, so I am so sorry you went through something that devastating. I hope you have managed to rebuild and come out of the experience stronger. Sending love to our cousins across the pond dealing with this current set of life changing weather

[@kareng3847]

Yeah those of us who live in the Carolinas will always remember Hugo none of us expected it to do what it did. I was in Charlotte North Carolina when the eye of Hugo went over and wiped out my neighborhood. By the grace of God our house was spared and my dad's house was spared. But we were without power for almost 3 weeks. But we were tough and we knew how to make it and survive and we did and we've got some of the greatest lineman out there. But it teaches you to never assume that every hurricane or storm is going to be the same because you just never know. My heart goes out to everyone who's recovering and rebuilding from hurricane Ian. May God be with you and bless you all.

[@davidneal6920]

Something awesome about being in a camp and hearing rain on nylon - tent keeping you dry etc

[@maryannanderson2213]

For all you Steve Wallis fans, he's BAAAACK. A new "Camping with Steve" video recently showed up.

[@StormyJP]

I'm a spotter for the NWS St. Louis. Ian was a monster. Will take a long time for recovery but extended prayers to FL and all affected. Glad you and your fam are ok. Awesome excursion during Ian.

[@FrednDeeDee]

We spent months prepping for hurricane season and for us it paid off. Food, Water, Clothing, and Shelter at the ready yet if we were told to evacuate, we would have and were prepared to do that as well. Ian circled out around our neck of the woods here in Florida, so we were missed except for 40mph winds and rain. We will not mess with a hurricane and will never become complacent.

[@bettyhudson979]

Smart of you

[@janetrobson9469]

I watch from the UK... Love all your outdoor adventures.. Your videos are so calming and relaxing... Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@phildo87]

Keep safe and I'm glad you brought us along and aren't treating this like a fun adventure.

[@BIGAL1973]

Dude do you ever find the noise of the rain on camp hypnotic it sends me to sleep 💤

[@boydman68]

I wondered why you weren’t at the cabin for 32 minutes. Thanks for putting that in there. I moved to NE Georgia in 2004 and sat through the remnants of Frances, Ivan, and Jean. More rain than I ever want to see again but I had the luxury of my apartment building and being on the second floor.

[@susankerr9521]

Here's another spotter checking in. Glad to see you got through Ian with few problems. That was a monster of a storm.

Thank you for saving the mountain from the storm.

[@stuarthatton1973]

the sound of that rain was awesome, especially through my headphones

[@balthazarquinn]

I love the amount of information and clarification you put in your videos. When you first said “I’m going to save Lone Wolf Mountain from the hurricane.” I thought ‘it’s a mountain! It doesn’t need saving.’ Then you explained that the roads can be washed out. Trees can fall down. Etc. Also, I really like your calm demeanour. Nothing (or very little) fazes you. You just… get on with it. You’re an inspiration. 👍 Thanks for yet another great video.

[@randomichannel]

Had to google is there really something actually called "lone wolf mountain" and there actually was in Canada! Did not find any mention on Carolina tho', so idk.

[@lindaretherford1175]

So why was it so important for you to be at the lone wolf mountain instead of at home with your wife and your father there to take care of things instead of going to your site on the Mt. Later and clean up then instead of now during the storm?? I'm confused??

[@brendablackington8299]

Oh man, I would love to be out there!! Bring it on!! As long as it doesn't get too windy, I would be a happy camper!!

[@ogbean82]

1pm ET I'm listening to the rain. It's now 6pm ET and I've just woken up! Thanks for the killer nap!

[@loispotter2097]

Luke you're always calm, cool and collected in every situation. Even if you're concerned you don't show it. Miami, was spared this time unlike when Erma/ Maria came through. Very sad to see the devastation Ian left behind. Glad you and your family were safe. Blessings and Guidance always. I'm in bed , enjoying the sound of rain on the tarps.

[@sandral2178]

Hi Luke, great video, I’m look forward to the snow videos when the time comes, my favorites are the videos you and Susie both bring us! Love watching your videos from West Virginia!

[@TheIamyourmother]

Much more sensible video than when Lonewolf took his dog hammock camping in a hurricane that flattened just about every tree in the forest except the ones they were set up on. Nice to see someone weathering out a storm without needlessly putting other lives at risk.

[@harolynallison485]

Ya I saw that video, that guy isn't too bright

[@warrenwilliams363]

Watched that one as well. If you’ve been watching him you knew he was gonna try it. What pissed me off was he brought his dog ON PURPOSE!🤬 Low class move if u ask me🤬

[@davidhowell2456]

I even told him in the comments that he was extremely foolish. The conceit of some people…wow

[@TheIamyourmother]

@@warrenwilliams363 agreed. Up to a certain point, I can understand someone taking that risk themselves, assuming they plan to die without calling S&R if it comes to it - leave the resources for those who didn't purposely put themselves in danger. It was him taking the dog that was way too fucking far.

[@warrenwilliams363]

@UCeGv8NyD4TfU3ce8xJLxliw Luke rocks the OGR! We’re chatting about a disappointing Canadian YT’r camping on Cape Breton, NS while Fiona came ashore. 🤬

[@corinnerenshaw3621]

So glad things were ok ! Hopefully your dad and family are good, too.:)

[@DCL26]

The rain is nice to hear, whether it's a calm soothing rain or a windy n stormy rain. Glad you had your admiring KZbinrs along with you to keep you company, Luke. Glad too that NC didn't sustain too much damage, and you and that you and your family/home are doing fine.

[@Cue881]

Very glad to see that you dodged the bullet on this one! I did too, in Land O Lakes, Fl. Funny how a couple of inches on a map can make such a difference in so many lives. We can never underestimate being prepared. Better to prepare a hundred times, then to not be prepared once. Glad you are all safe and sound and looking forward to future videos. Strength and honor.

[@calvertmorris2420]

Mother was in Cape coral across from FT Myrrs. All is well and she was safe, but she now has a greater respect for my survival and prepping. Got herself several boxes of MREs and I'll be sending her gear for Christmas and Birthdays

[@alexanderweaver7066]

Awesome save, Luke! I love riding out hurricanes. My wife and I sat away from the beach during Hurricane Iniki when it skirted Maui and hit Kauai directly. We watched idiots go out on their surf boards. The fireman pleaded with the guys not to go out but finally needed the police to order them onto shore. The hurricane actually destroyed several beaches on the south shoreline.

[@chrisb9345]

Loving the John Carpenter-style music in the intro.

[@annettemalaski1967]

I would love to do something like this, and my oldest when in elementary school loved watching the Weatherr Channel's tropical update, I'll talk to him about this, let's see how it goes. I took my family, husband & dog also, camping for the 1st time together in April. I feel that I'll have to take the lead in this case as well.

[@michaelmeadows5142]

I live here in Fort Myers, and yes, we were impacted catastrophically. I know a lot of people stayed home due to an unforseen turn from Ian, death and destruction followed. We were lucky enough to live thru it, with less than a mile away where buildings were flattened. Being a man (and being stupid), I stepped out in the middle of the hurricane to assess and was not terribly surprised to see what I saw damage wise, expecting to see downed trees, siding, roofing, vehicles, etc., just destroyed. I'd heard later on there was a man who lived at the beach, did not evacuate, and was found 90 miles Inland... drowned. I haven't found any further info about it, but as human beings, we all can be dumbed down during trying times as these, so I'm not surprised to see and hear the stories coming out after this hurricane. Be safe, strong, and honorable y'all. We're heading into some bad times.

[@CS-in3pg]

"I'm not here because I neccesarily want to be???" Luke, smell the coffee Brah, any excuse to get out especially in the middle of a good storm, that's YOU man. It's not a bad thing 😉. It's actually one of the things I admire about you! Glad Ian wasn't hard on you guys there.

As someone who grew up in the mountains of NH. I have seen flash flooding and flooding. I remember back in the day we didn’t have school for a week because a lot of the roads were washed out or or bridges gone.

[@visnuexe]

How cool! I didn't know you used to live in Fort Myers! I made it through the storm with no damage to house except my well water system pipes. My pressure tank was broken off and carried over to my neighbor's house. We had over 4 feet of flooding, and it was impassible on the road for 3 days. I and my cat Kayaked in from shelter I took when they said my zone was called for evac. I just got running water yesterday. It took a week to get power. I live inland but along a tributary of a major river. Storm surge was 14.5 feet, and 12" of rain. It was kinder to us here than Irma was, but neighbor still got flooded! Downed trees but none on my house!

Hi Luke, this is the first comment I think I've ever left anyone. I really enjoy your videos new and old. You have a great demeanour about you that just screams, chill out for 30 or 40 mins and reset your clock. It's absolutely brilliant. But my god you do tend to over do your content titles. I live in Ireland where its always raining. That's what you got was some rain. I didn't see a fight to save loan wolf mountain. I seen some rain that the area could clearly handle. It's very off putting. And not just this video but over the last 6 months it's been in some cases farcical. As I said I love the content, your videos. Wouldn't change a thing bar the titles. Ease up a touch. You don't need shock and awe to get a following. You have it. Don't loose it.

[@susanhowell2176]

Sitting here watching your episode of hurricane Ian. I lived in Cape Coral and we were in the eye wall with 155mph winds. We are blessed to have a whole house generator and the only convenience we didnt have was running water. We were prepared with 12 cases and 12 gallon jugs. We flushed the comodes with pool water. I moved from Florida the next week. I went back in February, four and a half months after. I cried when we went to Ft Myers Beach because the devastation is still in residence. It will take years and years to rebuild. Not to mention the loss of lives. John 10:10 says the thief (the devil) came to steel, and to kill, and to destroy. A truer ststement has never been said.

I was in Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 when it hit Houston flood waters were horrific leaving behind 40 inches of water. She was the first storm ever to have her name retired that wasn’t a Hurricane. She just sat over us for days then slowly drifted out into the Gulf again before strengthening and returning to dump even more water. She and Ian have a lot in common by affecting so many states. My grandmother house in Ohio flooded because of Allison’s long reaching affect in an area that had never see. A flood in its History. Then Hurricane Ike hit in 2008 nearly destroying Galveston Island. I was without power for 44 days in 100 + heat. I still felt blessed when I drove down towards areas that were hit harder. I’m so glad you and yours were safe and continue to pray for those hit with devastation in Florida.

[@waycar4]

Hey Luke, Wayne from Myrtle Beach. I know you say not to but had to check off a box on my bucket list. I pulled out my 1 person tent and my dog and had a good night in my back yard in hurricane force winds. Tent survived, so did I, Dog slept well. What a great night. I did take all the precautions before hand and had a blast. Take care my friend

It's nice to see someone use the chain break the right way. I worked for a company specializing in tree maintenance, tree climbing and removal of difficult trees. A bunch of wild cowboys but one thing they took very seriously. Safety cause it's a very dangerous job and you can't afford to get sloppy. Working with big powerful chainsaws you need to be on top of the game. And the chain break is your most important safety. Sharpen the chain and top off fluids after work. So it's ready to go if needed. Chain break on, start it, break off, rev up till it starts warming up and revs up high. Break on. Break off and start sawing. Break on if you walk with it, break off and saw, break on. The correct way to use it. So much people get sloppy with the break in video's. Even firefighters. Btw there's a simple way to fully test a chain saw. Break on, start, break off, rev, tilt the blade up 180 degrees vertical, down 180 degrees. Horizontal tilt sideways on both sides. If it looses power during this testing, don't use it and have it serviced.

I love stormy weather but not the type that creates devistation to an area like Ian did to the barrier islands; that is so sad. We live in the woods and do worry about trees coming down on our home.

This reminds me of cyclone Yasi. One of the largest tropical storms ever amassed on thre plantet. Over 3000 kilometres from edge to edge. We live 900 miles from where yasii went through and we got rain and cloud formations from it. I will say while it was a top side cat 5 , The USA HOWEVER gets the most destructive of storms history has ever seen. Cheers

Yes Luke some of us ladies like the storms and hate the destruction they cause. I get my fix watching them on KZbin. Although this might be because I lived thru the 1972 Vancouver Washington tornado. I was in the 6 th grade home alone sick with my 4 year old brother.

I love to watch a good storm also. Always gets my adrenaline going with livestock and pets to worry about, but I enjoy it all the same. Never lived through a majorly destructive storm, but I get a kick out of watching flash floods, crazy waves at sea, and the like. Fascinating stuff.

Ida was supposed to come right over us in Ocala, (along I-75, 80 miles North of Orlando). At almost the last minute it veered East away from us. All we got was some rain and a little wind. Thank You Jesus.
