ICE Storm - Waking Up to Freezing Rain and Wind - Storm Camping Adventure

[@johnstevenson9429]

Everyone please remember he has to make most of this climb three times. Once to set the camera once to make the climb then again to go back after the camera. Luke you are a maniac buddy!!!

[@reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee2]

I always think, "Man...he goes up to set up the camera, goes back to record, then goes back to grab it then goes back up..." Unreal...

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.. If he was smart ,, he would do these with Susie ,, He could film her ahead,, then just catch up ..... besides she's ,,well Susie ..... then we all win ..... Luke included .. (although he already has) ....

You make your videos the way Les Stroud does -- walk up, set camera, walk away, walk back, fetch camera, walk away again, and again, and again...lol. All by yourself. It's impressive, and the finished product really shines for it.

[@richard_n]

The best camping trip is when you get set up before the storm hits, enjoy the storm, cook in between waves of the storm, and then the storm ends early enough that everything is dry when you break camp. It rarely happens, but it's so great when it does.

[@carolley9705]

Very good! Love the patter of the rain on the tent. Semper Fi!

I wanted you to know that, because of channels like yours...... not like there are any channels like yours. It has gotten me to get out and explore, not only my area, but new places to hike and camp out. You have taught me a lot about the outdoors. Safety being one of the main things. So I wanted to thank you for all your amazing content. Looking forward to what 2023 brings. Much respect Luke.

[@audreybronson2710]

I don't camp, but find Luke's video's fascinating. Thanks Luke for all you do.

[@aaronzierke9920]

You can camp and not even leave home. You don't need a fire pit. Make or buy a stick stove or butane stove. There cheap. A cheap tarp and if there is mosquitoes? A mosquito net. The cushions from a couch work better than any camp mat. I could go on but i think you understand that the imagination is a good tool. Plus collecting the stuff to go camping is the best part. A seance of accomplishment. What dose one get from camping? Because your roughing it. Because not one thing is at your finger tips. Because you have to work at it to make it work. All of that. Makes home seem so much better. The hot shower. The microwave. The oven. The heat or the air conditioning. When you get home and unpack. Nothing will bother you. Not even the kids fighting . Thats what makes camping so worth it. Then there is the pictures or memory of what you did experience that makes it worth it. I recommend all to camp even if its at the park. Less stress as well when you get back home. Even if its your back yard that you camp in.

[@audreybronson2710]

good warm and the storms at night like almost every single night

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Always nice to see an outdoorsman/woman, who hikes out, sets up and spends time outside. So many channels show a guy or gal with some transiting shots, set up. a pan of the location, then the ENTIRE video is them inside the tent in a bag and cooking in the vestibule. Then they wake up, pack up and leave. Luke is actually outside in the weather and talking to us about gear, family, food and environment, which is appreciated. It's maddening to see a 20, 30 or 40 minute video of a dude spending 9 hours inside a hoop tent. Why camp if you refuse to be outdoors? Thank you TOGR for the adventures and the reviews.

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

I used to be a "super cold weather camping" kinda dude... "used to be", that's the key phrase there. The older I get, the colder I get. I just CANNOT HANDLE that cold weather like I used to when I was younger. I've lost a lot of weight in recent years & gained some (extra serious) health problems, so I'm sure that has something to do with it as well. Man I really miss the cold stuff thou. No bugs out, not as many ppl out, not as many predators out, no sweating. Just pushing myself to the limit of survival. A whole lotta fun, but my body just can't cut it anymore. Gotta play it like I'm smart or somethin & be careful these days 😂 Great video & an awesome little spot, thanks for sharing it 👍

A good tip for these zipper pulls. Use a piece of shrink wrap tube to secure them. Will stay in place for years.

[@stevenbatch5497]

Just came back from Big Bend National Park. Was a great trip one in which tested my 2016 Toyota 4 Runner which did great on the back roads. It is beautiful rugged country mountains up to around 8,000 ft.. This time of year is cooler without the wet that happens during the spring months. Summer is hot 110 or better at times. Trees are non extant but the wild life and the lack of light makes the night time outstanding for star gazing. We did not do primitive camping, not my Wife's cup of tea but I would in a second. Just know you have to make reservations to camp and I can bet your new Toyota would be perfect for the off road trails. As well there are hiking trails too numerous to count. The best of both worlds of primitive camping. On another note, watch just about everything you put out. Looks like a lot of work doing all that by yourself. Thanks for the reviews.

[@kosys5338]

I don't think it's a matter of going up or coming down Luke. I think it's the fact that you do it two or three times in the course of filming a video that makes it hurt just that much more. Your sacrifices on the other hand have paid off in the quality of your videos, your content is well produced yet not over produced. Thanx for the content my friend, it's a pleasure to watch. Your unbiased reviews and testing also speaks volumes and then there are the adventures. What more can one say but, great job! P.S. Almost forgot, all the best to you and yours in the new year. Happy New years!

The best part is watching the rain fall in the forest and the sound of raindrops falling on the tent, great video 💚

[@maryloua777]

I’m not sure what is about your videos but whenever I watch I start out just watching. About halfway through, I’m putting on a sweatshirt and socks. Next thing I know, I’m under at least one blanket and by the end I’m looking for a hat and that is all from my recliner. Guess that means they are incredibly realistic. Thanks for the adventure.

I just turned 42. I also have a crooked back and was Army for 12 years so my back and knees are shot out pretty well. I don't mind up or downhill as much unless the uphill is SUPER steep. I also have mostly been using surplus gear, but lighten the load as much as I can. ALICE pack weighed in at 25lbs without my 1 gallon of water before my last trip. I also wear LBV which weighs about 10-15lbs. I love hiking and camping. Been doing it all my life. I am looking at getting my weight down. My gear's weight also...
