I’m sure that meal was terrific. Much better than the old “K” rations my dad had in the army during the early 60’s. Love your videos because it’s as close as I’ll ever get to camping out. Permanently disabled now and my meds keep me pretty much at home now. As for camping out, you know exactly what you’re doing and also what not to do. Speaking of WWII, my favorite also, it reminds me of what our young men went through at the Battle of the Bulge. Bitter bitter cold, no fires for very obvious reasons. Our young men in Korea battling bitter cold, cut up wool blankets tied on top of their boots to try and keep their feet warm. Weather has and always will be something our young men and now women have to contend with, not to mention the enemy and what they’re trying to do to us. Anyway, like I said, I truly enjoy your videos and to all who served, thank you from an aging old veteran! There’s another enemy, getting old sure as hell isn’t for sissy’s. God speed

[@thathikingguy]

Wow I would rather watch stuff like this than any of the garbage on tv. Luke you are killing it my man.

[@MMMM-sm2rm]

Still holds true almost years later.

[@MrDangles66]

I'll second that! good stuff

[@jdisdetermined]

..and still holds up in 2019! 😁 The good stable camera work and very good audio/video quality Is key. I find these adventure videos very peaceful and relaxing, great before bed. 👍👌✌

[@jasonsellon4270]

Still holds up in 2020!

Hi Luke , My daughter who is 8 yrs.old along with myself love watching your video's. She's told me multiple times she likes how you make us feel that we're right there with you.And she's right , you do a wonderful job of bringing us in to your adventures. I would of never of thought that would have become such a fan of your videos but my daughter and I always look forward to your next adventure! Thank you for letting us come along for the ride! Sam & Samantha

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Sam Roth Thank you so much Sam and Samantha. You both have made my day! - Luke

[@wolfgangmikeleit4630]

Hey, many greetings from Germany, I share your opinion for the Videos from Luke, and I´m 68 years old... ;-)))

[@MrDevildog0321]

Great video! Love the WWII history. As a Marine, I can tell you that a 45 pound load is about what we carried. In the pack. The extra weight was ammo, weapons, 782 gear, bpv, and various other mission essentials. But, for hiking, 45 pounds is a very respectable load. Keep up the great videos.

[@michaelowens944]

I;m 73 now and disabled, I used to love camping. I always brought a few trash bags, stored some wood inside when saw that rain eas likely. Also when shoes got wet fresh socks with plastic bags over them saved my feet from getting to cold. Just started watching your videos love them.

[@ajithdhammika3235]

no need hiking or camp in wood , just watching you are videos and relax in the bed......thanks Luke

[@highonimmi]

love, love, LOVE the military surplus overnighters.....thank you so much for making these....

[@northernwildcamper1593]

Very enjoyable. I can't get out at the moment due to health issues but your vids are helping my morale, thanks.

[@K.F.L]

Absolutely love the Military Surplus episodes 😀 Keep them coming!

[@JamesPaulII]

Man. These videos are so inspiring! I need to get out into the wilderness ASAP!

[@capntrauma]

I like the way you review gear of all types. It's no fun listening to guys review gear that you can't afford. And, I get ill hearing people always talk about "ultralight". The army was more than happy to let me march all day with 80 lbs on my back. Thanks for your videos

[@dying2selfdaily477]

You know you made it when Thor sends you gifts...

[@iamthetarget52]

Reviews are great, but seeing the items in use ... Priceless. The Tips and Tricks are the best. They give me ideas ... nothing is better than that.

[@kieronbevan7489]

soon with a bit of luck I'll be getting the use of my legs back. I've sworn an oath to get out and do this sort of stuff. it's been a life saver watching the episodes and it kept me sane for several years. thank you

[@romantichorror5289]

Hello Kieran, how are you doing? I read your comment on this 6 year old video and just wondered if you are doing ok with your legs. I realize it's none of my business, but I think people should sort of check up on our fellow humans. Wishing you a happy, healthy new year.

[@kieronbevan7489]

@@romantichorror5289 hello luke. Yes still following your channel. I'm convinced there is a tailor made storm waiting for you out there one day. 😁 Legs not done yet and with this virus I'm keeping my head down. There are people in worse positions out there if you get my drift. Thanks for asking about my condition. Mind is sound Heart is too. Happy New year Mate. I just keep watching the uploads. Sometimes twice. Stay safe Bro

[@balkangetaway]

Turmat means tur=trip mat = food :-) greetings from Scandinavia.

[@beindustrious]

Yes, tour food :-)

[@akaSnockis]

Tur= lucky or tour/trip, so It could be lucky food aswell.

[@nancyeunike6022]

"Tour or trip" does not necessarily mean "field", especially when you have to lit a fire and boil some water to rehydrate the meal. Thanks.

[@iscariotproject]

thanks for taking us along :)

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

iscariot project Sure thing my friend. Be well. - Luke

[@DonnyPavoliniOutdoors]

A great and fun video as always Luke! Glad I have you in my favorites column. I went out this weekend myself and had an awesome time, but I fought damp wood myself. Thanks for posting this as it made for a relaxing Sunday afternoon! All the very best my friend! - Donny

[@Policeofficerx]

Luke I was just now able to watch your last few videos. I have been watching your channel for several months and I have always enjoyed them very much. I must say your videos just keep getting better and better. Thanks for taking the time to film your adventures and sharing them with us.

[@sassylady2001]

Beautiful ending shot of the snow coming down.

[@markc2951]

Great safety tips there for chopping wood and especially making tent pegs. Good job man

[@Elwood79x]

I went camping in the winter storm we had the night before thanksgiving, everyone said I was crazy. Thanks for all the inspiration man

[@wanderingwolf2242]

Absolutely brilliant video Luke, totally loved every minute of this one. The war facts were amazing so thanks for enlightening us! :-) Great bits of kit you had that worked as they should. Great tips as always and your location looked great. The snow looked amazingly awesome mate..........keep the vids coming and stay safe out there! :-)

[@BySyphlex]

I dont even go camping and I love these videos, keep it up!

[@davidandrews1730]

I was hoping you would wake up to a winter wonderland! Like the German snow poncho! Good show!

[@Zack_Darce]

Great episode! Thanks for all your hard work.

[@TruckerTom309]

They could use a man like you in the Army to teach survival courses. Love your vids Thanks for sharing.

[@jonbyron5142]

Great military surplus gear you used. When my kids were in Scouts I got them the packs and down bags from my time, which came in darn handy when they got their Polar Bear badges up north here

[@wallacepelletier698]

oh,i forgot i enjoy your vids no matter how long you make them interesting never a dull moment.thank you again

[@stephaniesmith7317]

Pretty guitar in your closing music. Thanx for an adventure I was able to enjoy while I relaxed in a steamy hot bath. LOL Keep 'em coming Luke!🏕

[@michaelhorn4540]

My father fought in WW2 and was on the beach 2 days after d day. Those men were the bravest men alive and definitely the greatest generation. It's odd that men in combat won't give you a straight answer on how many men they killed. When asked my father would just say he didn't remember, yet he was the greatest man I've ever known! I miss him so much!

[@sorr1244]

Nice Adventure Luke, the Yugoslavian mess kit looks pretty nice, hope you had a great time. Looking forward to more. Take care.

[@jamesgraham828]

Great video. Love your set up. I have two of the tarps you used but have not put my mine to use as of yet. Looking forward to doing so soon.

[@jonshelton7633]

And everyone yawns at 34:24 Great video, really enjoyed it!

[@stevemick6569]

Great adventure. Your morning yawn was contagious!

[@keithbush2945]

excellant as usual, makes me want to get out in the snow, and do an over nighter...thanks for letting us tag a long

[@lawtonmurrey8601]

Great video Luke. This is so much what I love doing ! People will stop and say "Are you crazy" but I say if you haven't tried it then don't knock it ! ATB & SH...

[@LEXPIX]

Great stuff Luke. I love the overnight seasonal transitions you seem to plan well for. And I know how tough it i to keep camera gear protected in the elements.

[@michaelhorn4540]

I was homeless for several years, yet my backpacking experience from when I was younger helped me out alot

[@TurtleBushcraft]

Nice adventure truly enjoyed watching it thanks for sharing

[@JoeSmith-gp5dm]

Can't wait till the next adventure luke! Happy holidays.

[@ToyzintheatticBombnation]

another great video! thanks for sharing.

[@priest4dayz347]

Digging the still shots every once in awhile. Much better idea then the video fade shots I have seen in your other videos. Keep up the great work and would love to see your wife and you in an overnight adventure outside. My wife and I love your videos and have just about watched them all last 3 days.

[@Luso308]

Superb. Really one of the best bushcraft chanells on youtube. Good show, mate! Thank you!

[@gkling33]

Love me some Outdoor Gear Review.

[@8mmman689]

We always enjoy your vids!

[@overlandwanderer9137]

Hi Luke just found your channel in the past few days. Man great work keep it up! Truly a enjoyable show. Love seeing another NC native enjoying the out doors. I'm a WCU alum and avid out doorsman and try to spend as much time possible in WNC and further adventuring thanks for your reviews and adventures!!

[@StreetsOfRage2]

"Do you are Robert?" Hahaha. Classic internet. I laughed so hard at your perplexed expression.

[@Miguel_GM]

Great! I was so looking forward to this...

[@MrFlyrod7]

Your correct about axe safety. I was falling a tree in my younger years, let’s say many years ago and the axe skipped off the tree sap and went through the boot leather and the steel eyelet and I ended in the ER with a few stitches. So yes, know what your doing. Measure of the distance in front, as well as a safe circle around and over you.

[@JS-dn4yc]

your videos are of the same quality i expect to see from a show like survivorman. its really a testament to your ability that these videos are so well done. you have my respect sir.

[@drcsep]

Outstanding video and adventure. Hope that jamboree would happen next year. Count me in...

[@henrikstenlund5385]

Thanks Luke for this video. Turmat means food for the trip.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

I have watched this video over and over...love it. The format you use of sitting around the camp fire and "talking story" as we say in Hawaii is relaxing and so enjoyable. My Dad fought in three wars including WWII under General MacArthur. Some of his stories could make your skin hairs dance, not in a good way. Like you, Luke, I love military surplus gear and since my active duty days have accumulated a pile of it. The local military surplus store is my candy store along with Harbor Freight. I cannot find an Alice Pack with frame in an acceptable shape...so still looking. That Yugoslavian mess kit looks intriguing however I would have to adjust my mental attitude re drinking out of a square container. I guess I'm anal. I've never eaten the Turmat meal but enjoyed other freeze dried meals from various countries I had the pleasure of backpacking. My favorite was a schnitzel meal prepared in Germany by a local friend. Luke, experience makes you an incredible teacher. Even with 60 years of backpacking experience I still learn from the best and you are at the top.

[@HammerofThor00]

Great video and talk..

[@thepumpkinking9756]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@XJonAye]

What a great adventure, I thoroughly had fun. Recently I have been depressed, and haven't made it out to the woods lately. You mentioned Norway, and that case of food you got from thor. I had the craziest dream, that I was stranded in Norway, everyone was super nice. I also a had a dream like thing while driving through the tunnels heading into work in the city. It was more like a feeling that I was going to loose my family and be alone wondering the world. I immediately got emotional, because I love my wife and kids. Since then I have been trying to prepare my self. Thanks Luke have a blessed Christmas

[@ryansaul4958]

Love the photo at 18:45. As always nice work!

[@GSLybbert]

Like the four frame segment to show progress of your setup. Reindeer translates to caribou. I like to pile up stuff to act as a windbreak across the head end of my lean to , might have been a good place to pile some firewood. One camp I made a wind break of rocks on edge, laid into an open box shape.

[@salliemorrill2671]

Great vid, Luke. Reviews and camping situation were very helpful infor. Don't know how you tolerated the elements as long as you did. You definitely have a love for outdoors. great shots of the snow.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

This is one of my very favorite videos. Great job, Luke! Military surplus gear is heavy but it is well worth the weight and expenditures. They will last for generations. I used a pack my Dad used in New Guinea during WWII for several years. Unfortunately, it was stolen out of the back of my pickup.

[@justinakers3196]

Alexander Weaver probably shouldn’t have had it in the back of the truck. Can’t trust anyone unfortunately. #nofaithinhumanity

[@mariaotero5601]

Wonderful Luke ❤️ love it!!

[@wolfman6000]

Another Awesome Video, Man, That yawn gets me every time, lol, Keep on keepin on bro.

[@cybrarian9]

Luke, I will likely never be out in the middle of nowhere camping, but for certain if I ever am, I'll be sure to remember all the varied skills you teach along with the regular hiking wisdom even if it's how to use a knife properly the way you used it in this video.

[@whocarescl]

Luke, I really love your videos, very inspiring. Regards from Chile

[@sixstring417]

Awesome video! It has gotten me very excited to try out the Yugoslavian mess kit....(I was the winner of it last year+2 insulated canteens!) Thanks again!! I'm planning a winter Backpacking adventure in the Nicolet National forest of Wisconsin. Hoping to post my first overnight video up here on KZbin, Thanks for the inspiration! Strength and Honor my friend! Carl

[@fireyourrocketts]

Got still a Toyota Tacoma, Single cab, standard, 2WD with 220000 miles on it, never been in the shop, ever, everything works just great, AC super cold; I changed the EGR Valve once, Its muffler which is an old Evenflow, (dual pipe, it sounds really bad ass) has a hole on it from rust and needs replacement but other than that only tires, oil, battery and that is it. put it through hell, used for delivery and work truck for many years, towed its gross weigh bringing it from South Florida to Las Vegas back in 2006, still run for many years, it seats outside in my driveway for the last 2 years but it was not broken, battery is off it. Its original Aluminum wheels were infinity with BF Goodrich Tires were stolen from an old neighbor's roommate who was a scrap collector and salesman, could never get them back; this was while they were sitting outside my garage on the side of the property, behind a fence because I fitted the truck with performance wheels and rings. I seen you older videos of the muse and I love that truck too, If I ever see one, would probably buy it. Many people have asked me if the Toyota is for sale but it is not. I went through a lot with it for almost 15 years; it never failed me and it is not strange to develop that kind of attachment to it..if is not needed to sell it, I will keep it for as long as I can!

[@junek1006]

This was a great video. I like when you talk at night.

[@shhletsgohurryup5736]

Luke your the best story teller!! Educational and funny. ))

[@joelkelly169]

Yes you are correct sometimes you just have to call it and get out. Down here in the south we get rained out too. I have had to pack out in the middle of the night a few times when the weatherman said "Clear tonight with cooler temps" Then you get there and low and behold midnight hits with the sky opening up with a flood.

[@ninabittrolff]

Great video Luke. Sorry about the rain. The last two times I camped out it rained.

[@simulacrae]

Great video Luke, turmat means travel/hiking food. I've heard nothing but good about Drytech's freeze dried food but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. :)

[@nordicbritprepper]

Really enjoyed the video Luke, looked like a good time. Food looked nice, we have those here in Sweden as well. I have not tried them yet though! Glad to see you out again :) All the best, Robert

[@MrLoiti100]

Great video!

[@jbbennett2816]

Some time ago, I scratched my cornea, which repairs itself if not too bad. But I had to wear a patch for a day and keep my eye closed. It spoiled 1 day out of a trip because it was too dangerous to walk and I didn't want to take a chance on falling. The real bad thing was that it delayed my trip and resupply. There was also future rain in the forecast and I was on rocky terrain. I didn't have much choice and walked twice as far and fast to get to my destination, once my eye healed. That trip was memorable, albeit, for the wrong reasons. Now and always I wear safety glasses. For the longest times they were big and bulky, the kind that fit over glasses. But now a days there are smaller versions that have built in bifocal lenses. I have sunglass styles as well as bright amber(night time) and regular clear ones. I feel it is very important to wear safety glasses around the camp, especially when chopping wood. Liked you vid. ATB, Jb

[@rickbloom1869]

Jb Bennett I poked my eye out at work one day with a fish tape and was blind in that eye for 13 years. For about ten of those years I was a SAR dude in the N. Cascades. I did it for about 15 years. I can tell you it was every bit as difficult to learn to see with two eyes again as it was to learn to see with one.

[@jonny9884]

I miss my ALICE pack. Had one stationed in Germany two and a half years, even bought one from the PX before heading back Stateside (mid-80s) in hopes of always having the same one I used, lived out of then. Unfortunately, when my back was turned, my mom sold it at a yard sale she had going on at one point. I also have the lighter MSS bag, but should get the one you use in this video at some point, and probably one or both of the bivies as well. Thanks for this video, and all you do and share those of us who appreciate the great outdoors as well.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Despite getting rained out any woods time is a good time!

[@mjoaiello]

Great video as always Luke!

[@mrssmith6400]

Really love to try this sometime

[@marcolabranche2480]

Love your vids ! It's a shame i discovered your channel that late... Keep on going !

[@todddinezza3921]

Hi Luke, Thanks for another great Military Surplus Overnight Adventure video. As always, you have a really good eye for the natural scenery and capturing it with your cinematography. I really enjoy watching your videos and agree with the historical points you made about the significance of WW II in world history. Since you usually seek fan requests about what type of gear you you will use on these military surplus videos, I had a couple of ideas to share with you about military surplus gear you might consider using in you future videos. Specifically, based upon your recommendation in a previous video I picked up the Swiss Army Rain Poncho from Amazon. Hence, it occurred to me that it would be interesting to see how you would use one of them as your tarp shelter with some other military surplus gear of your choice. Similarly, I would also be curious to see you use a US Army or Marines poncho as another improvised shelter for comparison purposes and hear your thoughts since we trust you.

[@deputyprepper4931]

Luke, great video again as always. If you ever get the group meeting set up next year, count me in and I will bring the "Tasters Nasty".

[@floatingfreedom6091]

Hi bud , love your vids! watching from uk 🇬🇧, spent 21 years in Norway , outdoors and camping enthusiast. Tur mat = “Tur” means to go on a hike/walk in nature . “Mat” = food . They have all manner of concoctions in Norway , including tur mix” basically high energy but and fruit mix , tur pølse - hot dogs, even chocolate which they traditionally take on a “ tur “ they basically love nature ! Just as it should be!

[@417survival2]

Luke, loved this outdoor adventure, would've been great to be there with u! Would love to see a cold/wet weather video on a slightly heated or at least a reflective tarp and firewall, ur favorite setup as always great job, take care and look forward to the heated tarp shelter setup!

[@bennyvoncannon197]

Well done my friend. Got out after the rain and started a fire just to see if I could using the same stuff you were using. worked like a charm. Good point on leaving the back of your tarp up a bit sometimes you want a little air flow.

[@GoSutto]

Another great video. I vote the longer the video the better!

[@mohammedhezri2808]

Hi Luke, Mohammed here. Really an awesome outdoor video. You have really come so far in each and everyone of your new videos Luke and i salute you for that. All the editings are getting way way better than ever. Keep it up with more videos to come. And brother, THANK YOU for sharing with us your adventures, we all appreciate it.

When splitting wood it always splits easiest from top to bottom, opposite the way it grew. Thats a cool mess kit. I like your videos

[@b.matthewgood5687]

Great vid. My Dad was a WWII vet. He never talked about it. Flat out refused to. My 2003 4Runner is awesome. Love that vehicle. Wear and tear has cost me a bit, but I trust it more than any car/truck I have had and will keep it until it rots.

[@wallacepelletier698]

we dont even get 90 inchs of snow in canada,i cant imagine that kind of snow.love your vids dude keep em comin'.and my coldest camp out ever in canada is saskatchewan where i'm from and we had a real wicked cold snap with the wind chill it was like negative 56 below 0 did a lot of jumping jacks that night should have a canvas tent with a wood stove but just a 3 season tent and 3 season sleeping long,long night.well thanks for the vids and like i said i really enjoy them.
