Lightning at Night ⚡ Thunder by Morning - "Tactical" Storm Camping - Overnight Adventure

[@mathewpybus1599]

It's the start of winter here in Tasmania we've had solid rain for the last 24hrs and forecast 48hrs more before we get a reprieve, one of the many things I like about this channel is you actually camp in all conditions and you stick it out in true outdoors enthusiasts do, keep posting Luke your channel is definitely one of the best on KZbin mate

[@frosty9156]

Whoa, such a lucky person you are to live there. Tassie is gorgeous. Just walked Overland track late May and to my surprise not a single drop of rain the entire hike. Was secretly hoping for 1 miserable weather day lol. But good thing is I have the entire track for myself!

[@baassbooster]

2 days into summer here in Slovenia. Temps of about 38`C as of right now CEST 21H heavy thunderstorms with hail big as a teniss balls

[@bighurt4007]

Make a channel mate you would bring us into your side of the world js

[@kevinl1248]

thing is, hes lucky. They can camp over there without risk of everything killing them. Jack jumpers, spiders, snakes... just to name 3. AU is not camp friendly.

[@jillymills1]

Luke needs to Visit Australia

[@DashCamAdventures4U]

Luke, I've been following you for about 5 years now when I began backpacking, even though I can't do the things I use to because of age, your videos still inspire me to get outdoors, thank you

[@maeedwards8387]

I love the photo! It's something I would put on my wall.

[@DCL26]

Thank you Luke. I admire your efficiency, lightheartedness, intelligence and willingness to teach. God Bless you in your travels! Looking forward to seeing Suzie back on the road with you again. Many Blessings!

[@normamurray4450]

Wow, that photo of lightning highlighting the rain curtain is one in a million! I love your rain storm camping vlogs....soothing in my estimation.

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

I absolutely love that photo with the lightening, it's gorgeous!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

That's a great and lucky photo.

[@marjiecleveland]

The lightening and rainwall photo is awesome!!

[@alexanderweaver7066]

That photo with the dark sky, the curtain of rain and the awesome lightning strike was a brilliant shot...much to your surprise. Super adventure, Luke. I love it when you chat as though we were actually there in person. I hope your heel recovers soon so you can do the Creeper Trail hike.

[@bmwman63]

Different schools. My training on knots is from the Navy. I'm sure the Army is the same. Knots are taught a specific and rigorous way due to working in crews. The person that ties the knot may not be the same person that has to untie it. But, as long as every member of the crew is taught the same knots, it doesn't matter. Anyone can untie any knot another member as tied. I keep about 20 in my head. On my tarp, my non adjustable end is two half hitches and a bite. My adjustable end is a trucker's hitch . My guy lines are taughtline hitches. It might also depend on the type of trees in the area. Here in Arizona mahy of our pine trees do not have lower branches to tie to. Anyway, I'll crawl off my soap box, Someone mentioned to me that French MREs are quite the treat if you happen to run across any. Thanks for making the video Sir.

[@josephmonarko4514]

Wow you really know how to rock and roll 😂 enjoyed the video.

[@sunnwy]

Thank you for mentioning me in your video Luke. Your videos are the best and I love your journeys adventures reviews stories and long films. I truly enjoy these adventures and always excited for your new videos! I want to really thank you for making such amazing content and I know the hardwork and effort you put into it and so I want to support you in your work. Your videos have always been an inspiration and awesome! Cheers!! 😍🎉👏👏

[@diannsanford2436]

I love the lightning picture!! I love storm camping with you. Stay safe out there.

[@irenejoseph9547]

Your videos are my favorites. That photograph of the lightning and rain was more than spectacular. I love the humor and useful information you provide in each video. And your food reviews are priceless. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you more than you could know.

[@bres]

These new nature shots and ASMR are really good, keep it up

[@NatureBetsLast]

Every one of my tarps have 20 foot of paracord at each corner and one ready as a ridge line. 1 quick butterfly knot, 1 wrap around a tree and a truckers hitch. Takes just as long as you twirling your rope trees and branches and making your quick release knot, and the trucker hitch is designed to be easily released. Best thing about this knot is when using silnylon material you can tighten or slacken as you need too. Even if this adds 5 seconds per knot it is a far superior set up and taken down faster. I usually pre make my butterfly by the corners so even quicker. Another added benifit to the truckers hitch is no mater the tension it doesnt binde so no need for tree wraps.

[@dwaynebeavers2088]

That photo is very cool.

[@bban109]

Great setup Luke,the rain and thunder is so relaxing.

[@peggyschmidt7715]

Thanks Luke for this great video, really like camping in the rain 🌧 there's something about storms that are peaceful and calming. Take care and stay safe 👍

[@ginashaw6402]

I love these videos. I could have had the worst day but then Luke treks out into the wilderness, in the rain & thunder, sits under the trees & just appreciates being alive. Really puts things into perspective. Thanks 😊

[@johnhoye6584]

Interesting knot lecture. Could you do a couple of shorts that show tying, attaching, and other information about them.

[@timdeniserhodes6450]

The story about braiding the cord is called a fireman’s braid. It is a very fast efficient way to coil up a cord. You can braid it up as fast or faster then coiling around your arm. And it is tangle proof. As you said with your knots, you need to know what your talking about. That boss fired him for coiling the cord a fast, efficient way.

[@nana2five790]

Absolutely beautiful lightening photo!

[@einoheiskanen4524]

Kiitos!

[@goofyrulez7914]

I love this "inside" video. It explains a lot of details that most videos overlook. Thank you.

[@rebeccasilveous8898]

To be lucky enough to capture a lightning strike at the instant it happens is one in a million. And I love your KZbin channel. You are one in a million!

[@loriknight5263]

Luke, that picture is amazing. Love your camping trips. Healing prayers to your foot

[@kinjiru731]

That's a phenomenal photo capture of the lightning you pulled off. Well done.

[@SuziPoozi]

Listening to your story about the guy getting fired for braiding the extension cord, that was stupid for your friend to do. My ex BF was a contractor and used to do the same thing with his cords so they wouldn't tangle. It wasn't a braid but you'd pull the cord through itself, I can't easily describe how its done. It only takes a couple of seconds longer to do and it was way quicker than trying to untangle the cords that are wrapped around someone's arm. Your friend fired a guy who was actually being efficient.

[@jonathanbarrett3390]

The guy who got fired will go on to much bigger and better things and someone will appreciate his attention to details.

[@SuziPoozi]

@@jonathanbarrett3390 I hope so, the boss sounds like someone who I wouldn't want to work for

[@sandramcarthur1866]

When do you use a tarp over part or all of a tent???

[@JRican]

The photo is beautiful!! 😍 it captures the lightning just as if its about to cut thru the rain curtain approaching....to me😊 beautiful pic, thank you for sharing.

[@lindakrache843]

Hey Luke Linda again. I truly love your laugh! your wife is a luckily woman and so r your children! u r the best on you tube! love u dude!

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

Nice place to camp out. Love your camping videos

[@superiorstateoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@superiorstateoutdoors]

Organization is everything… all of your gear is perfectly setup for quick clean deployment! Love it!

[@Toms_Bright_Ideas]

When I was in Scouts I was the Senior Patrol Leader and later I was the Assistant Scoutmaster after I got my Eagle Scout rank. I used to teach the new Scouts their knots. The one rule I had was one needs to keep the knots and hitches neat so you can untie them later. Personally I would do the knots I was trained and showed others. But I like what you did there, and more importantly it works for you. Great info thanks.

[@gloriaharris1395]

Love you and your show, you are very kind to you viewers

[@militarypolice360]

ILove your videos..very methodical warm cozy and ready and ample to go.You make things look so nice..I love your coffee deal your delicious meals.and the way you set up everything.

[@stevenensminger5737]

A once in a lifetime shot...what a beautiful photo 🌲🏕🔥

[@clared1808]

Fantastic lightening photo, Luke. Very atmospheric. All the best from Chatham, UK.

[@daviddack1930]

Watching from Birchington......small world

[@Ryanboy2020]

Luke, we need to have a serious discussion regarding your wake up alarm tone on your phone. It sounds like the emergency air horn on a military base announcing Defcon 1. LOL.

[@jerryfife2015tacoma]

Great video Luke and the tarp setup is exactly the way I do my tie outs so easy and quick, tie it out and up and done, nothing fancy for me. your camp area looks amazing.

[@timcurry192]

One of your best, Luke - the pic of the lightning was spectacular. Watching you break down the camp and get it all in that backpack was something extremely useful that isn't presented enough. Sorry about the MRE - you eat those because you have to, not because you're up for a culinary experience. From experience I can tell you that if you're hungry enough those beanie-weenies are pure ambrosia. Thanks for a great video!

[@Blue-um5kg]

That photo was fantastic just beautiful. Would be a nice framed picture. Myself I am scared to death of thunder and lightening but do appreciate the beauty of something so powerful and potentially dangerous. Glad you share.

[@shannonbaldus5458]

That is an AMAZING PICTURE!!!! 🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@sassylady2001]

Just love these kind of videos from Luke - LUKE - am loving these videos. Wishing I were there. I've seen your creeper walk - and also the year with Suzie and you doing it together.

[@trailslug893]

That was a great photo. I only wish I had the patience to attempt photography. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures, I love this area.

[@lggb3588]

Always so beautiful videos. My best wishes

[@beacee]

Beautiful hike. Beautiful snake. I rarely see them anymore. Fascinating always.

[@annetorswick9641]

Looks like a milk snake. Have a great adventure.

[@sheenarader6495]

Awesome lightning and rain cloud!

[@devincarter801]

The picture was beautiful AF.. lol. I appreciate the video and thank you for the awesome info.

[@soniayoung7531]

Nice setup Luke the picture with the lighting bolt is awesome beautiful moon rain so tranquil thanks for sharing stay safe

[@Glyn69]

Great video, very informative and real cosy landscape , excellent camera work, and editing enjoyed it

[@lindakrache843]

hi Luke. Love u man! U r the bomb about all your video! U truly know your stuff, I can tell trust me! I'm Linda I'm 64 and have been watching u for 2 yrs. From Philly but not my whole life but pretty much. Luke love your videos big time! u always do such a great job! U r the man!

[@paulinemary975]

Beautiful nature 👍

[@patriciahernandez9661]

I love this adventure! The picture you took was totally amazing! Great job, thanks for sharing!

[@jazztoad54]

Hey Luke, I used to live in the Boone area for 15 years, so I enjoy watching your videos!! Snake similar to what I call a Rat Snake. Non-Venomous. I tried for years to get lightning in my photos using a 35mm camera. I had tons of slides and lost them in a house move somehow. Your photo is award winning! I miss living in Western NC!! I now reside in the Roanoke area. Lots of recreational opportunities around here with the AT nearby and National Forest. My favorite camping memory from NC is when I soloed up Grandfather Mt. from the Invershiel side. Amazing forest hiking up to the one of the ridges. I slept on a ground sheet just in a sleeping bag, just under the stars. Amazing. GrandDaddy Long leg spiders visited all night I think. I was up there to try and find a plane crash site. I had set up camp in a ferned floor with just conifers all around. It's a different world up there. Some of the places you camp are similar. If you ever are in Roanoke, please let me know. I can sort of show you around the area!! Good Luck!! That coffee you drink ...... I think it's your trademark. Coffee-Nasty !!

[@jackladny5864]

I have a great idea! Leave that frigging rock in one place! Thanks for your work !

[@debraervin5773]

Beautiful photo of lightening strike!

[@larrymccready6778]

Beautiful picture, frame worth for sure.

[@clivewilkinson5394]

Great content again. Glad the hole in your insole works, have you tried hot and cold water for your foot. It worked for me when I had a similar injury. When your tendon is repaired fluid was created as part of the process that fluid has formed a jelly-like substance around the injury. It takes months for the body to reabsorb it. If you take two buckets or what ever you can get your foot in. Put enough feeding cold water in one to cover your foot and very hot water in the other . Put your foot on the freezing water until you cannot stand the cold or feel your foot then plung in the hot water until it becomes hot then repeat for 20 minutes a day. You will see a big difference in a couple of weeks.

[@devincarter801]

OK I had to stop laughing before I could right this. Your face while eating that PERFORMANCE BAR was so hilarious I about died. Man that made my whole day.

[@williammenchen7562]

That was a great shot of the lightning !

[@johnschmidt1900]

Depends on tying slip note usually is my go to. Quick easy simple. Next knot I use is a bosman knot. Final knot is a half hitch knot. My top three knots, all depends what im tying down

[@anthonymatos6057]

I agree that’s a beautiful picture should make it into a poster and make it available with your Murch. I would definitely purchase one.

[@mikebott2080]

On the extension cord braid, my experience with it has been that it is less tangled when you unwind it compared to a typical “roll” around the arms for storage, and the cord lasts longer because the internals aren’t being twisted as much, so long as you do it right lol. Storage is bulkier, but I don’t agree that the dude shoulda been fired for it, it takes the same amount of time and could possibly save time on untangling the mess a typical roll would have. My .02, but if he just braided it to make it look good with no intent on saving time, that’s a different story. Love the content Luke!

[@willpaulson]

yep. daisy chain extension cord. it's preferred by many. it's much better for the cord; doesn't twist it.

[@niq872]

yea i agree i do it every once in a while and its take about the same amount of time, if it is the way im thinking

[@toddkanhai3164]

I agree. Sounds like a labor lawsuit.

[@mpmansell]

Exactly. I came to make the same comment. Protects the wire, prevents tangles, much faster to deploy. If this is what happened, the boss is an ahole.

[@rodmehta5356]

Agreed

[@Addy-ft4ps]

Hi Luke. The photo is beautiful. Thanks for another fun adventure. Be well.

[@violetraquelgarcia5143]

I do Love Lighting and Thunder ..... Grew up in WV .Really enjoy your adventures on trail .😊 ❤ BE SAFE wherever You an Susie travel and go to Camp 🏕

[@fets15]

Wow that picture is amazing!

[@doctorartphd6463]

You can always try your hand at landscape photography. Good gut instincts !! Enjoy your vids. Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews and camping sessions !

[@jamesellsworth9673]

That rock is not only crazy heavy, but you have also had to move it around plenty on this trip!😊 MY TAKE ON KNOTS: I cannot remember how to tie many of them, even after having had good, clear lessons. I DO believe that specialty knots serve particular purposes better than my average camp knots. I heed the advice: 'Can't tie a knot? Tie a lot!' I just learned from you today about the function of stress-relief wraps.

[@hillbillyfromtheswamp6223]

That photo was amazing! Love the black and white too.

[@paulacooley9082]

I love the photo of the lighting, outstanding capture of God's work He made it just so you could see it and capture 😊

[@berthapitts2905]

Your photo is awesome, Thank You for sharing.

[@Harolyn-gn6kc]

These are all very well photographed but this video is stellar, the photography is amazing you have captured amazing shots

[@mikewilliams1921]

You nailed that shot. You've got a nice wall hanger. That lightning made eveverything pop.

[@aunchaleeloscalzo7195]

Thankyou for an amazing photo 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@rickwendell3211]

Some people may colorize a great photo in red or blue, but good old black and white when properly exposed in my opinion is hard to beat. Thanks for sharing Luke!

[@Xeno-M.]

Luke, I am actually glad you showed how you knot your tarps. I was thinking as to why in prior vids you were winding the cord So many times around the tree. But the pressure relief on the knot makes sense as to why and I did not think about that, especially when it comes to ridge lines for me. I will probably practice doing that for ridge line tarp and other tarp set ups (maybe not wind it around as many times) to accomplish the knot pressure relief. So thank you for showing that.

[@draza-x4b]

LUKE THAT LIGHTNING PHOTO IS AWESOME ANY CHANCE OF NOW AND THEN POSTING SOME MORE PHOTOS THE ONE'S I HAVE SEEN IN SOME OF YOUR PRESENTATIONS ALWAYS ARE AWESOME THANKS LUKE.

[@jeremylange7586]

It is such a cool picture. Good job. Luke 😊❤

[@richardrogers8254]

I try avoid snakes. Wow, that's a cool tent. Awesome photograph of the lightning. Beans and wieners, hell yeah it's hillbilly cuisine. The performance bar you could probably mix with a little and heat it up and it would melt. Time is something we can't get back. Love that campfire 🔥 the crackling makes me think of past adventures. A man and his rock; that thing looks super heavy.

[@shirleyfranklin2707]

Just beautiful. Good catch of the lightning bolt. Thanks for sharing

[@sandycummings4791]

Beautiful picture with the lightening! I HATE SNAKES! Sometime it would be nice to see a review with an SUV tent. You have inspired me to start camping again….as a single older woman I have to be careful with my spending 😢. Love the rain and thunder white noise! So relaxing!

[@deborahphillips9034]

I love hearing the crackling of the fire & all the sounds of nature. I live in southeast Texas & very much a country girl. I’m 69 & have been single most of my life. One year my vacation started& the first 2 days I was just home going crazy. I always had a tent, so I decided I was going camping. My Mom bout died when she found out I was by myself & told me I better not ever do that again. I had the best time of my life. The only problem I had was raccoons stealing food so after the 1st night I had to put my food in my car. I love your videos!!

[@militarypolice360]

And I Love your bequtiful picture you captured..very GODly and Beautiful!😊❤

[@jdjeannot]

29:38 never heard that saying but it got to me, it is so true!!! Thanks for the videos. I like the tips for the tarp set up.

[@roderickrobledo6373]

I love nights like this, you sleep very deep!

[@johnwrinkle3443]

your photo of the storm was a second in time only you saw. I love watching you set around the campfire it takes me back to good times when I was young. I grew up in Lebanon Missouri until I was 13, my grandfather was born in 1881 and me my dad, uncle and grandpa would go down by the Neosho river build a fire like yours and listen to the dogs run allnight. Grandpa was in charge of the campfire and he always told me ,,,,that he was burning energy from the sun that had been caught up in the trees,,,, strength and honor

[@Harry-Giles]

Completely agree with you about knots.

[@Blake-W8LB]

Ive had a Little brother pack for probably 10 years, its been all over the world with me, fits perfectly in the overhead compartment.
